a ho third day's trial of the Holmlck inur-
dor case , as It is called , drew a larger audi
ence than on cither of the preceding days.
'Ihoro was even somd demand for standing
room. Inside tno bar there appeared for the
flrut tlmo Mrs. Palmer , the widow of the
man whom the defendant Killed , and her
mother , Mrs. Porter , Uothvoro dressed In
deep mourning. Next to them were seated
Uev. Mr. llelmlek and his family. A largo
number of ladies were also inside the railing
nnd several of the prominent clergymen of
the city. Much interest was manifest , es
pecially In the cross-examination of thofo
witnesses for the state who admitted that
they were members of the gang which was
bent on assaulting thu preacher and thus get
ting oven for his interference In the wooing
of Palmer and In uttering from the pulpit
scathing criticisms of Sunday baseball and
every dnv saloons.
The llrst witness yesterday was a young
man named Sweenoy. Ho was one of the
gang that wont to Helmiek's house for the
purpose of egging him. Ho claimed that so
far us ho know , the only purposn was to
throw eegs , and that there was no idea of
doing bodily harm. None of the party had
weapons , except eggs , so far as ho know.
They might have had them , though. Ho
joined the pang at the solicitation of Palmer ,
who , according to all the witnesses , seemed
to bo the ringleader. Sweeney had been
tending bar and playing baseball. Ho had
heard that Hov. Mr. Holmick hud said that
no ono of any decency would engage In base
ball on Sunday nnd had made other uncom
plimentary remarks In a sermon one Sun-
'day night. Such remarks had aroused the
indignation pf some of the boys , but the
witness Ooniod that it had led him to make
threats against Holmlck. He admitted that
ho had repeated a remark made by Ono of the
other boys that If Helmick made any more
such statements in his sermon ho would get
a lively shafting up. The witness dnnied
originating this statement , or endorsing it ,
but simplv that ho told someone else that an
other of the boys said this. Young Sweeney
testified that shortly before the party went
to the house to egg Helmlok , the day of the
shooting , ho was warned by CityMaishal
Sells not to go. Sells asked him if the boys
were golug to egg Helmick tnat night , and
said that If they did it would bo the worst
thing they over did. Ho communicated the
warning to the other boys , but they went
just the same. Ho was afraid there was
going to bo trouble , nnd so made different
excuses to got away. Ho went to the church
to see if HolmlcU was , there , he not being at
homo , and afterwards wont down town to
see if ho could find out about him , leaving
the otlior boys watching at the bouse. The
eggs were nrovldod by Palmer , and divided
up among the gang , each having about six.
The great interest of the day centered m
the examination of IJavo Oliver , who was
with Palmer In Holmiek's barn when the
shooting occurred. Oliver is a lo\v-browod ,
coarse-featured , sulky acting sort of follow ,
whoso appearance In the witness stand was
by no means a favorable exhibit for the
state , if ho was n fulr sample df the material
whiah made up the egg throwing surprise
party. He was at llrst much embarrassed jit
being called upon to speuk.beforc so large an
audience on so delicate n subject. As he oc
cupied the chair most of the day ho got a lit-
tlu used to It , and so far recovered his au
dacity as to bo able occasionally to civo a'
port answer to some distasteful cross-ques
tion. For the most part ho answered with
such a low mumble that ho had to bo con *
starkly admonished of the danger he was
causing to the outstretched necks of the
jurymen who were trying to . catch
his words. Ho also had a far-away
look aimed at the opposite side of the room.
His memory was as bad as bis mumbling ,
and in Vhe hands of Attorn'jy Sims , who
cross-examined him sharply , ho seemed to
bo undergoing a massage and sweat treat
ment. Oliver testified that he wont with *
Palmer to Helmiok's barn to get thu horse.
While there Holmick returned , and shouted ,
"Get out of my barn. " Palmer jumped out
Of the door and throw something. Ho IUD-
posed it was an egg. It was so dark that tie
could not distinguish Helmick except by his
voice. Helmick Jlrod and Palmer Jumped
back into the ourn. Holmieic told thorn to
come out and ho would not shoot. They
hurried out and joined the other follows in
the street , and then they went down town ,
Oliver hurried out of Neola , going to Avoca ,
but returned in a day or two.
Jim Hardman , n teamster , was the next
witness. Ho lived , in the same block as
Holmlck , right across the alloy from the
barn. Ho was in his yard , heard the .snot
and after the shot hoard Holmick say , "Got
out of my barn. " Ho hurried to Holmiek's
barn with another man , who was visiting at
his house , and was soon joined by another
nelchbor. Ho disagreed from thu ottfer
witnesses in the order of the shot and the
shout and also in regard to the darkness of
the night. The state bus u theory that it
was not so dark but that Holmick dts-
tingu'shcd ' Palmer before ho shot , and shot
beruuse of the animosity between them. The
defense had shown Irom the state's own
witnesses that n man could not distinguish
another more than a few feet away. Hard-
man made the distance thirty fcot , in bis
opinion. On cross-oxdminatiou an attempt
wad made to gut thn witness to admit that ho
had nn animosity against Helmick because
ho thought that Holmlck suspected him of
having stolen grain from this very barn.
The witness denied this stoutly , nnd denied
having mndo any threats.
Dr. { larvoy was called to testify as to the
nature ot the wound of which Palmer died.

by Hov. Snyder of Crcston , Kov , G. W.

this city a neat plan ot Mr. Murphy's ' to
distribute tbo VQrblaco of the evening.
The remarks of Mr. Murphy turned the
thought to the hopeful outlook of a world
growing hotter. Hu touching allusion to
the death of young Abraham Lincoln yesterday
day in London awakened the remembrance
of that great grief that swept the land when
the great Abraham Lincoln's life went out.
Ho said no soil on earth but America could
produce , such a man. And then ho paid trib
ute to the men of the west , for out ot the
west were to oomo tha great men ot tbo
future. Ho described the orphaned family
and the mother tubing up the burden of the
wbolo family ; then the boy working
his walkthrough college , to bo placed at the
head of it ; thou sent to the loglslHturo , to
congress , to the sonata and finally to betaken

crowning ulory of that hour ho placet the
chapletof honor upon thomothcr'A brow nnd

Mr. HoukJ of Tennessee , who has
charge of the case for the majority of the
committee on elections , mode a presentation
of the claims of the contestant. In conclu
sion Mr. Houlc urged that the colored people
of the south should bo given a fair chance.
"No man can hold a scat on this floor who
was returned by moans ot rifles , clubs and
fraudulent ballot boxes.1' Ho was in favor
of a national election law. At the conclu

previous question.
Mr. Hill of Illinois ( rep. ) , who Is supposed

Mr , Crisp , who was standing in ouo of the
aisles , objected to being pointed oat.
Mr. Speaker The chair did not point out
the gentleman.
After a heated argument between the
speaker and Mr. Ct Isp , the latter said ; "Tho

speaker goes too far when after he has ob
tained order and a gentleman Is attempting
to find his sent , business is suspended and
an individual member pointed out in this

most popular of nil cough emus.
" Of the many preparations before the
public for the ciuo of colds , coughs ,
bronchitis , nnd kindred diseases , there
is none , within the range of my oxnorl-
once , so reliable as Ayor's Cherry Pec

followed by terrible coughs. About four
years ago , when so aflllctod , I was ad
vised to try Ayor'H Cherry 1'octoral nnd

so , and within a week was well of my
