OF urgent business in Lake Butler,
where he was summoned by telegram.
this part Of the program was omitted.
This was one OF the most success
full commencement programs ever
given here. 1t was program full

Governors Veto Messages.
On motion OF Mr. Melton OF Duyal
the veto messages Of the Governor
were read The first was the Farrls
bill amending the charter of the city
Of jacksonville, The reasons assigned
for the veto are that the citizens
OF Jacksonville already have the right
to amend their own charter by popu-
lar election; the unlimited powers Of
the board to fix their own salaries
as officers In charge Of various city
departments, without bonds or time
limit. The unlimited powers OF the
board he considers unprecedented and
fundamentally wrong in principle.

being that the veto was requested

PHILADELPHIA, October 14-The bat

trial off the Delaware capes. Hereto

STOCKS AT LOWEST LEVEL.
Reported Syndicate of Millions to
Avert Further Declines.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. October lit was re-
ported on good authority today that a
syndicate Of Wall streets banking inter-
ests had been formed to avert further de-
ClineS in the stock market. A fund, it
was reported, amounting to several mil
lion dollars has oeen furnished by these
interests and turned over to member of
the syndicate to be used at his discretion
in supporting prices whenever they show
signs of heavy declines. Among the MEM
bers Of the syndicate. it is said. are the
First National Bank and other interests.
: 1t is said that Ihis syndicate was re-
sponsible for the support given to the
market late Saturday morning, when
heavy purchases. amounting to 10000
shares. were made in some of the lead
ing securities 1t is recognized by bank
ing interests, according to Wan street
opinion. that unless public confidence is
restored there is little in the financial sit
uatiOn which will prevent further declines
In Wall street.
Ii is believed the rally which took place
in the market today. after the early
weakness. was also due to the buying of
the syndicate. Otherwise. 1t Is sad
there would have been further heavy re-
cess;on. as the market was in a demoral-
.zed condition. Many stocks are now at
the lowest level they have ever recorded
and others have reached the lowest point
in five or six years.

MAGILL MURDER TRIAL.
Opening of Case at Decatur, Ill, To-
day-Mysterious Witnesses.

CHICAGO, October IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Decatur, ILL.,. says:
The Magill murder trial enters its
most important stage today, Wien the
heavy guns of the state will be turned
on Fred H. MagiIl and his wife. and
the question of their guilt or innocence
will be largely determined.
States Attorney Miller sent a tele-
gram to Miss Ida Candy of Dayton,
Ohio, yesterday, saying that important
Developments required her presence
here at once. Miss Candy is d sister
Of Mrs. pet Magill. the first wife of
Magill, whom he is accused OF mur-
dering in order to marry Faye Gra-
ham, the girl friend. With Miss Gan
dy's testimony, supplemented by that
of others who know Mrs. Magills
handwriting, the state expects to prove
the letters found on Mrs. Magilrs dead
body were fOrgerieS.
Postmaster Frank Davidson of Clin-
ton and several old neighbors of the
Magills also will take the stand. The
state is holding back a dark horse
in the shape of Warren Holton of Den
yer. Holton is the private detective
who offered to prove that Faye Graham
Magill was implicated in the alleged
murder by love letters the girl is sup
posed to have written to him.
With Holton is Ben Silverman of
Colorado Springs, another mysterious
witness. The defense claims that both
of these men are frauds, and that their
evidence is manufactured.

INSURANCE COMPANY CASES.
Further Postponement Granted by
Court in Milburn Indictment.

NEW YORK, October 14.-Because
John G. Milburn, counsel for John r.
Hegeman, president OF the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, under indict-
ment on charges of perjury and forgery,
was engaged in the Standard Oil Case
today, the argument on the motion to
dismiss the ten indictments against Mr.
Hegeman, which was scheduled to take
place today before Justice Bowling, in
the criminal branch of the supreme court.
was postponed, Monday next being the
date set.
Justice Dowling in granting the further,
postponement said that the people were
anxious to bring the case tc trial. and that
there shall be no furtha. delay in dis
posing of the motions to dismiss the in
dictmentS.
Howard Cans appeared to argue for
the dismissal of the two indictments
against Robert A. Grannis of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, charging forg-
cry in the first degree and misdameanor.
The defendant contended that both in
dictments were based upon the same
state of facts, cha ging the filing of
a fraudulent report with the state su-
perintendent Of insurance for the year
ending December 81, 1894. and that since
the forgery indictment was found and
presented first the misdemeanor indict-
ment took precedence and the forgery
Indictment should be dismiss
-lr. Cans argued that the last indict-
ment found upon the same statement of
facts should be the one to stand. Assist
ant District Attorney Kresel said he
would submit brief in answer to Mr.
Cans argument and the argument on
ment stands, was set down for Octo-
ber 23

HUGE ENGLISH FLEET
WILL STAND OFF TORPEDO
BOAT ATTACKS.

LONDON, October 14.-There is now as
sembling in the North sea and the Eng
lish channel, for maneuvers, under the
command of Admiral Lord Charles Beres-
ford, a fleet of British warships represent
ing an aggregation of naval power sur
passing all the Immediately available re-
sources of any two other countries of Eu-
rope, and yet not a single ship of this
fleet has been drawn from the reserves,
the Mediterranean fleet or the Devonport
and Portsmouth divisions. The home fleet,
which is now assembling, consists merely
of those ships maintained in the vicinity
of the British isles, and which throughout
the year have been engaged in war train
ing.
Dreadnought Missing.
1t numbers 40 pennants and is COM
posed of twenty-siX battleships, fifteen
armored cruisers, several protected cruis-
ers, various auxiliary vessels and forty
eight torpedo vessels. The battleship
Dreadnought is not taking part in the
maneuvers, as she is being fitted with a
new steering engine before being sub
jected to a further series of Sea trials
which. it is hoped will prove of assistance
in determining the design of future large
battleShipS.
The first section of the coming naval
rnaneuvers, covering four days, will be OF
a tactical description. and the final days
will be devoted to studying the problem
of defending ships against torpedo at
tacks. With the mosquito fleet attack
ing the large Warships and all the land
stations manned the coming operations;
are expected to be most interesting
