Technical Pleas to ErOquOis Fire Indict-
 ment for danslaughter.
 Danville, H., March S.--The entire day of the trial of Will J. Davis for manslaughter growing out of the Iro- auois Theatre fire, was consumed by the prosecution in answering the at- tack of the defense on the validity of the Chicago theatre ordinance.
 States Attorney Keslar consumed the forenoon and special counsel George T. Buckingham took the afternoon to re- ply to that part of Mayors argument which asserted there could be no such thing as an accessory to manslaughter. Colonel Buckingham closed by citing the United States Supreme Courts de- cision on the Slocum steamer fire which seemed to fit the case in all corners. The forenoon will be devoted tomorrow to the defense in rejoinder, W. J. Cal houn speaking.

 New York, March s.--By a unanimous vote the Appellate Division of the Su- preme Court today decided against Mayor George B Mcclellan in his legal fight to prevent quo warranto proceed ings for a recount of the votes cast in the New York city election of 1905.
 There was added to the decision a recommendation that the questions in- volved be passed up to the Court of Ap- peals for a final ruling. The Appellate Divisions view is that the action of 8 former Attorney General, Julius M. Mayer, in refusing to institute the re- count proceedings, did not serve as a bar to such action on the part of the present Attorney General who under took the suit at the request of William R.

Previous Records for the First Bale
Of The New Cotton Crop Of
Year I0O7-S.

Houston, Texas, June 21.-Hous-
ton received the first bale of new
crop cotton for the season last

The cotton was shipped to w.
d. Cleveland & from Run, Hidalgo

ched here July 6. 1t was consigned

THE LIE IS NAILED.
Negro Lawyers Came 70 Brownsville as
Passengers and Did Not Stop
Here at All.

A HERALD reporter took partic-
cular pains to investigate the state
ments made by the negro lawyers,
Gilchrist Stewart, and Napoleon
B. Marshall, to the effect that they
came to Brownsville as brakesmen,
and were obliged to leave here on
account of the feeling against
them. 1t was learned positively
that these negroes did not come
here as brakesmen, as claimed, but
came as passengers on the train
that was brought in by Conductor
E. L. Burke. They went at once
to Matamoros, as the negro brakes
man informed the reporter, for the
simple reason that they knew they
could not get hotel Accommodations,
in Brownsville. A third negro,
who is a relative of Geo. Furniss,
came with them, and he stayed at
Furniss' home while here. Far
from there being any feeling
against these negroes here, few peo-
pie even knew of their visit until
they had gone.
While en- route from Matamoros
to Monterey, Friday, the 18th,
Frank c. Pierce esq, of Browns
vile, engaged Gilchrist Stewart
and Napoleon Marshall in CONVEX
sation relative to the raid in
Brownsville, they assured Mr..
Pierce they were convinced that
FIVE or six OF the negro soldiers
made the raid and that they had
the assistance of one or two white
men. Stewart and Marshall have
proved themselves to be such
monumental liars, that we place
20 confidence in ANYTHING they
have said about their trip to
Brownsville.
