THE TIPPERARY TRIAL.
GREAT INDIGNATION MANI
FESTED AMONG CATHOLICS.
APolH;e)usa Teatlfiea That lie Followed
lh Defendanta Into a Catholic Church
Vetrj Great IMtorderin the Court and
the Oefendant's Attorney Thrown Out
Dublin, Oct. 4. Much uxeitotiient wa-cca-!oncl
in In S court room atTippCnuy
yesterday by the evidence of one of the
Mlncsea, a iMllcvman, who testified that
he followed several of Ihe defendunt.s Into
the vestry of the Catholic church and tried
iomcrhear what was said there by them.
This testimony aroused the indignation of
the counsel for the defence and he de
manded to know if the feudal days had re
lumed when the sanctity of tho confer
"lonal could bo invaded.
The Court-room became a. babel of cries,
and the confusion was so great that It was
impo-MMc to go on with the proceedings.
'Urt was therefore declared adjourned for
half an hour. When court reconvened the
pollccmnn was crov,-cauiiiied by Harring
ton, who called the witnesn a 'hadow "
The magistrate culled upon the counsel to
withdraw tho expression Harrington re
fused to do o and was ordered to leave the
c.'iM. An Uproar ensued. O'Brien and 'Dil
lon commenting freely upon the manner in
which the ca--e was conducted. Finally
'mother half hour of adjournment was
ordered.
Dining adjournment Harrington's clients
decided to defend themselves. When the
proceedings were resumed Dillon had Just
begun to address the bench when a cheer
v.'is raKcd for Harrington. This so exas
perated the magistrate that he ordered tho
court cleared, and the proceedings ad
journed abruptly, amid the greatest con
fusion. A large liody or Hlice was massed
outride of tlit; court. There was no rioting.
DUN'S REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
An 1'iiprccedeuted Increase In Ormtatlon
for the Month ot September.
Ni:w Yoiik, Oct. i.U. G. Dun & Co.'.s
llVrf.Ij Rtvifw of Xiudc says:
Never before has there been In any mouth
so great an Increase in the circulation or so
large a payment of the public debt as in the
month just closed. Domestic trade Is im
prming In all directions Jit least for the
time; there is also improvements in exports,
which now show a gain of
7 per cent oer last joar at New
York. Of the magnitude of domestic
tr.nle. it appear- that actual payments
through clearing houses outside of New
York, were, in September, lfi' per cent,
greater than last year. This is partly due to
higher prices, for the general average of
commodities has risen 1 percent, during the
past week, and has been oer B per cent.
abo e last year for the past month. Hut
the earnings of railroads, as far as rejKtrted
for September, shows a gain oer last year of
7', percent, anil the movement of cattle and
cotton are particularly heavy. In spite of
tin short crop, tho movement of oats also
exceeds hist year's, while the decrease In
whe.it and corn is partly balanced by the
increase in flour. Sales of iron ore at Cleve
land thus far this year exceed last year's to
Lite liy one-third. These items respecting
the larcer tr.ules accord with accounts from
ne.irly all cities, which continue highly
f:iorablc. Boston notes a healthy and
encouraging trade in New England; Phila
delphia rejiorts more confidence; Chicago
notes, besides heavy receipts of grain,
meats and cattle, a. larger trade in dry
troods than last year, with prompt col
lections, and the same in IkhUs and shoes,
but not so prompt collections in cloth
ing; St. Louis notes unusual activity in all
lines, with the dry rjkxIs trade eceedine
any previous year; Cincinnati reports iety
liberal orders for clotliinsr. a gixwl trade in
tobacco at favorable prices and a heavy
mocment of fruits and produce on account
of local scarcity: Milwaukee notes a very
good tiade. the clothiers especially heing
unable to fill unexpectedly heavy country
ordeis. At Saauuah trade is very brisk;
at St. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha,
Deucr and Kansas City it is
very good: at Detroit, better than
last year in some lines; at Pittsburg, large
in volume and strong in tono for finished
iron, but less strong for pig iron and rails
and for "lass chimneys. Many works there
are hurrying preparation to turn out tin
plate.
The Ison market is singularly sustained in
spite of the unprecedented production on
the preccdentcd demand. There is a sharp
advance in tin. with prices nominally 24
cents, though tho visible supply is
greater than a year ago. Lake cop
per is firmly held at 17
cents, notwithstanding the raids on other
grartes. and lead is strong at 5.:7 cents, some
foreign lead having lieen lought for im
portation. Cotton and coffee have been un
changed in price, with oil and hogs lower,
but tho price of wheat litis advanced, while
oat have declined.
The details given show that in all parts
of the country and in all important branches
of business there is a pbenoi "nal activity,
and. nevertheless, tm .- c mparatlvc
freedom from speculative excitement or dis
turbance. The general soundness of trade
is shown by the rcporisof failures, which for
the third quarter of lsi'O were smaller in
number and amount of liabilities than for
the same quarter of ls9. though in Canada
it is rather larger in loth respects.
The decrease in number in the United
States was small 2.190 this year against
V.'7i5 last year: but the liabilities
were but S.'!.-.432,43G against S3'.).
227.04.1 last year, showinz a decrease in the
average for each firm failing. The business
failures occurring thioughout the country
during the past seven days numlx'r l'J7, as
compared with 219 last week: for the
corresponding week last year the figures
were 20ft.
MORMONISM IN UTAH.
Got. Thomas Finds Mormonism in Erery
Way an Enemy lo America.
Washington, Oct. 4. The Mormonism
question is discussed by Gov. Thomas, of
Ttah. in his annual report. He asserts that
the Mormon people are coverned by priests
and that in every political and business
act the church is put first and the country
afterwards. The population of the territory
is estimated at 220.932. an increase of 55 per
cent, durlne the past ten years. The Mor
mons are recruited by immigration from
Great Brstian and the Scandinavian coun
tries. The averaze number of foreign born
broucht to the territory by the Mormons
diirins the past nine years was aliout 1,S00
annually, and this average lias probably
been maintained the past year.
The governor says political and official
Mormonism deals in evasions and meaning,
less words or words of double meaning,
hypocriticnl pretenses and false assertions.
Its attitude toward polygamy is delusive in
the last degree. It knows there has been
no change on the subject, but seeks to con
vey the impression that there bas been.
Prominent church officials, the governor
states, have declared that the church does
does not now grant permits to enter polyg
amy. and the nominal head of the church
has announced that polygamous marriages
do not now take place. The governor adds,
however, that when the attention of the
head of the church was called to a notori
ous case uncovered in the First distijct
couit. he disclaimed any knowledze of it.
Admitting that these fetatemeute, however,
"SPSr-S: KTS dS
puMIC sentiment of the nation as expressed
In its laws, nor does it prove that the
church Is loyal to the law Therr !i no
reason to believe, the wovbi'.ior asserts, that
any earthly power can exact from the
chiirch any declaration opposed to polyg
amy. He accounts for the hold which Mor
tuonlsm has upon the people by t'ue tact
that thy are taught t keep aloof from in
fluencr; 'outside of the church.
The governor recommends the passage of
the bill reported in the senate by Senutor
Edmunds, which authorizes the governor to
appoint certain county officers, and provid
ing for legislative reapportionment. 116
mates thai If this bill becomes a law il will
place the control of twenty-fiv,e counties In
the hands of men loyal to the government.
He also recommends tho passage of
either the Cullom bill or the Strublo
bill.
RESULT OF THE TARIFF BILL.
Tinned Plate Works to Cost Moro than
S5,000,OOOtobe Uulltla Baltimore.
Pittsburg, Oct. 4. On! result Of the
passage of the tariff bill with its tinned plato
clause will be the establishment of an im
mense tinned plate factory at an early day
In Baltimore. A company of eastern capi
talists, principally from Baltimore and New
York, have quietly been working on the
scheme, The capital stock is 57,000,000. A
well known l'iltsburg engineering firm,
which has Its office in the Lewis block. Is
after the contract for the building of tliu
works. It is probable that it will receive tho
eoutract. The company will do business on
an enormous scale, and will be able to com
pete with English importers, even if the lat
ter do cut prices. Tho new concern will
have Its own tin mines and reducing plant
In the west. Ground has been purchased in
Baltimore on which tho mills are to be
erected. The cost of tho ground runs into
the hundreds of thousands. The mines
have also been secured. At tho works hi
Baltimore several new processes for the
manufacture of tinned plate, which have
been recently patented, will be applied.
Tho patents have been purchased by the
company. About f.'i.OOO.OOO will be put into
tho Baltimore plant itself. It will
cover several acres. and will
be the largest tin plato con
cern on the globe. The company's name i
not known. Ft will make a bid for the en
tire American trade. The building of the
plant is to be commenced n.s soon a the
contracts are let. which, It Is expected, will
be shortly. Foreign capitalists are to erect
a tin plate mill at Duquesne, at a cost of
fl.500,000, on tho property of John A.
Wood. About GOO men will receive employ
ment. OMAHA MAN ARRESTED.
While Kiubaiklng for Europe, He Is Ar
rested for Einhezzlemeut.
Nr.w YoitK, Oct. 4 Earnest Klall. cashier
for a business house in Cmaha. Neb., was
arrested this morning as he was going aboard
the steamer Scrvla. to sail for Europe. The
arrest was In consequence of a telegram rc
ecixedat police headquarters stating that
Biall Is an embczstler. The prisoner was
taken to Jefferson Market police court and
held. His counsel offered to produce bail
for him, but the justice refused to accept it.
Advertislne the Fair Zaeui.
London, Oct. 4. Sensible people are
laughing over the prudish attacks upon the
music halls made before tho committee of
the county council. That Inxly sat again
to-day and considered the case of the
Aquarium and the fair trapeze artiste
Zaem, whose rather too decollete pictures
on the mammoth iHisters have been an eye
sore or delight to the people of the metrop
olis, according to their opinions on such
subjects. The fact Is, Zaem is an exceed
ingly pretty woman and has been pictured
as she really is which is ex
actly what to-day's protestors ob
ject to. Referring to this poster
the thin-skinned gentlemen made abundant
use of the words 'indccency." "grossness,"
and "vulgarity." An amusing scene oc
curred when several learned counsel asked
to be shown, the mitch-talkcd-of pictures,
as if they had not seen them dozens of times
already, and forthwith a life-sic portrait
of the charming young woman in scant attire
was passed around and solcmly gazed at by
the bigwigs over their spectacles. Then
they entered into a learned discussion over
Zaeni's smile was it or was it not immod
est? And then her dress was it a sufficient
covering for such superior charms? After
much squabbling among tho speakers and
snickering among the onlookers the com
mittee at last came to the same conclusion
as yesterday in the case of the Empire
that is. to recommend the granting of the
Aquarium's license for another year.
States Control Their Highways.
Grand Rapids. Mich.. Oct. 4. A decision
made in the United States court is x-ery im
portant to the entire country, as it affects
the right of the Western Union Telegraph
company to use the highways for their
wires. It is the opinion of the court that
the act of congress permitting the Western
Union to use all government postal routes
to string their wires is pcrmissable only aud
does not give tho company the right to go
into the states and use the highways unless
by state authority. The court further
holds that the charter gives the city author
ities power to regulate the use of the public
highways, and that the city authorities can
exclude the wires from any street aud can
designate in which street the company can
set their poles and string their wires.
Weekly Bank Statement.

excess of legal requirements.

The Tomb of Eve.
The Arabs claim that Eve's tomb is
at Jidclan, the seaport of Mecca, says
the St. Louis Republic. The temple,
with a palm growing out of the solid
stone roof (a curiosity which is of itself
the wonder of the Orient), is supposed
to mark the last resting place of the
first woman. According to Arabian
tradition Eve measured over 200 feet
in height, which strangely coincides
with an account of our first parents
written by a member of the French
Academy of Sciences a few years ago,
who also claimed a height of over 200
feet for both of the tenants of the Gar
den of Eden.
Eve's tomb, which is in a graveyard
surrounded by high white walls, and
which has not been opened for a single
interment for over a thousand years, is
the shrine of thousands of devoted Is
maelians who make a pilgrimage to the
spot once every seven years. It is
hemmed in on all sides by the tombs
of departed sheiks and other worthies
who have lived out their days in that
region of scorching sun and burning
sands. Once each year, on June 3,
which is, according to Arab legends,
the anniversary of the death of Abel,
the doors of the temple which form a
canopy over the supposed tomb of our
first mother remain open all night, in
spite of the keeper's effort to close
them. Terrible cries of anguish are
said to emit from them, as though the
memory of the first known tragedy
still haunted the remains which blind
superstition believes to be deposited
there.
She Died Penitent.
The life of Madame Peynaud, the
Frenchwoman, who died near Catons
ville, Md., where for years she occu
pied, with cats, dogs and birds, an old
nut, is told of as follows in the Balti
more papers :
She formerly lived in Paris. Her
husband was a barber, and upon his
death he left a recipe for beautifying
the complexion. She started an es
tablishment, but trade not being brisk
she adopted a new plan. She adver
tised extensively, promising astonish
ing results. When her victims came
she charged them large prices for the
lotion. The lotion, however, brought
out ugliness and blotches instead of
beauty, and she then demanded ex
orbitant prices for removing these
blotches.
She made a great deal of money, but
in 1875 she was arrested, tried and
convicted. She managed to escape to
New York, where she lived quietly for
a time. Remorse overcame her, and
she consulted a clergyman. He coun
seled penance. She therefore went to
Maryland, bonght a:
ol building in a
'- . tho life of a
secluded spot and 1
recluse.

The Music-Halla Said to ll:i an Ell In
fluent e.
London. Oct. 3. The popularity of tho
music-halls of London was well Illustrated
to-duy at the meeting of the committee of
the county council, when not less than 300
applicants were made for licenses for the
gay establishments ot that character. An
interesting question arose in the case of the
Empire not entirely unfamiliar to traveling
Americans. This license will bo opposed
by Mr. Charrington. member of the com
mittee on the triple grounds:
1. That it was the resort of low women
and a source of temptation to the young
men nnd better class of students at Oxford,
Cambridge, etc.
2. That the women In question were well
dressed aud sat in the better parts of the
theater.
3" That the dresses worn in the ballets
were indecent.
The importance of the point that the
women were well dressed was not quite ap
parent. In proof of his allegations Char
rington produced his grocer, who blusliiugly
admitted that lie bad been there. Had ho
been shocked? Well. no. Still he thought
it a bad place and full of bad women. How
did ho know they were bad? Hy the way they
used their eyes. Had they looked at him?
Roars of laughter. Well, no! Probably
ho was not swell enough. Hut he saw ono
lady with a decanter of brandy go away
with a stranger In a cab.
More testimony of a similar character
kept the audience convulsed. George Ed
wards, manager of tho Fmpire, declared
that no dissolute woman was admitted, a
statement to be taken with a gra''i r salt.
He also stated that the police Ii...l oultis to
exclude any notorious character.
Mr. Charrington (Interrupting angrily):
"Then if a member of this committee says
he has seen sixty or seventy low women
there he is a liar."
"Oh! oh!" said the opposing counsel. In
reply, "my answer Is that you will find
these women In the fashionable West End
churche, etc."
After further disedssion the committee
decided to recommend the granting of the
Empire license. The whole discussion was
a good illustration of the Kiitannicfoiulnc-s
for straining at a gnat and swallowing a
camel. Why is sin more deadly In a com
fortable room on Leicester square than the
damp, unhealthy pavement of Piccadilly
circus?
THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP.

Slight Change.
Washington, Oct. 3. The preliminary de
tails of the president's western trip have
been arranged, nnd thoso are subject to
slight changes. It is fully decided, how-ex-or,
that the president and party will leave
here Monday morning for Cincinnati, where
a short stop will be made Tuesday morning.

Ind.. Terra Haute, then to Galesburg, 111.,

union of his brigade in tho afternoon, and

TAKING HER CLOTHES OFF. !
A Girl Arrested While Preparing to Leap
From London Bridge.
London, Oct. 3. Little Alice Beaumont,
aged 10, was a prisoner yesterday at tho
mansion house, charged with being a bridge
jumper. The constable who testified against
her declared that yesterday afternoon he
saw the diminutive person climb up on the
parapet of the London bridge, and throwing
off her clothes prepare to jump Into tho
river. She was urged to attempt the haz
ardous act, the witness declared, by a wom
an who turned out to be the child's mother,
and to complete the picture of shocking and
unnatural treatment, her father was wait
ing below to pick up his daughter dead or
alive. On being taken into custody, the
mother declared that they were a family of
professional swimmers, and that the 10-year
old Alice had already been in the business
six years and had dived from heights run
ning up to forty feet. This extraordinary
and criminal scheme to obtain notoriety
was sex-erely censured by the magistrate,
who bound tho parents over in the sum of
20 to keep the peace.
POLITENESS DON'T PAY.
A Lumber Dealer Robbed While Apologiz
ing to a Stranger.
PiTTSBCno, Oct. 3. To-day while J. K.
Gardner, an extensive lumber dealer, of
Ridgeway, Pa., was returning from the East
Liverpool, O., fair, he was relieved of
$10,000, the proceeds of a big lumber sale.
At Washington street someone called out
"Allegheny." Gardner started forthedoor,
but was jammed into a corner by several
men, who also wanted to get off. He apolo
gized to one of them after the quarrel.
After the city proper was reached Gardner
found that he had apologized too soon.
His pocketbook was gone, as was also the
gentleman to whom the apology was made.
Serious Omission.
Washington, Oct. 3. It appears that an
important omission was made in the tariff
bill as enrolled and signed. Section 30 of
the internal revenue schedule, which was
stricken out by the senate and subsequently
restored by the conference, was completely
omitted in the enrollment. This section pro
vided for the allowance of a draw-back on
smoking and manufactured tobacco and
snuff held in unbroken packages at the date
when the reductions go into effect. As this
date is Jan. I next, however, there will
still be ample opportunity for congress at
Its next session to correct the error by sup
plemental legislation.
Bonded Debt Decrease.
Washusotojt, Oct. 3. It is stated at the
treasury department that the decrease in
the bonded debt during the past month,
viz.: 142,316,240, was greater than in any
month since the period of refunding opera
tions under Secretary Sherman, the nearest
approach to It being 826,593,830 in the month
of October, 1888. The decrease in the bond
ed debt for the first nineteen months of the
present administration has been S20o,7H,
410, an average monthly reduction of S10,
827.074. The foregoing figures relate exclu
sively to the lionded debt and not to the
"debt less cash in treasury" at the various
dates specified.
TI115 ACTS OF CONGRESS-
SUMMARY OF A WEEK'S
LATIVE WORK.
LEGISe
IHlls and Resolutions Introduced ami Trip
le Discussed by the National Bodr ol
I -aw Makers.
In the senate on the Nt
Sherman offered a resolution
appointment of a committee
Senatoi
for the
of two
senators to a joint like committee on
the part of the house to wait upon
he shall have any further communication
the president and inform him that unless
to make, the two house:, are now ready td
idjourn. Agreed to. After executive ses
sion the liousJ bill in reference to contract
for surveying public lands was ngreed to.
The vice-president laid before the seu&ts
three veto messages from the president, two
011 bills referring to court claims, and the
third Mil to prohibit bookmaking and pool
selling in the District of Columbia fur the
p u j pose of gambling. The president's ob
jection to the latter Dill Is that it does not
prohibit bookmaking and poolelling, but
tn the contrary permits it in the case of tho
Washington Jockey club and other clubs
owning race tracks If that form of gam
bling is td be prohibited ns the president
thinks It should be, the prohibitions bould
apply to all persons and places. The
messages were laid on tho table. A mes
sage rrotu tho house asking concurrence
in the resolution lo ranko a Hot her cor
rection In the tariff bill was not corisldufed
on Senator Edmunds objecting. At 2:55. p.
in., tho tariff bill, enrolled, was received
from the house with the speaker's signature
and was immediately signed by the vice
president and sent to the president. Sena
tor Harris offered a resolution tendering
the thanks of the senate to vice-President
Morton for the dignified, impartial and
LouttcdtU hianncr in wbjclj.be has presided
over the deliberations ol tho senate. Tbc
resolution was unanimously udopted. as
was also ono offered by Senator Ran
som in compliment to Senator Ingalls
us president pro tern. Senators
t-herman and Harrla, as a com
hilttee, reported that tho president had do
further communication" to make to tho seri
ate. A messago was received from tho
house announcing concurrence with the
resolution as to the negotiations with Great
Britain anil Mexico to prevent Chinese from
entering the United States. Vice-President
Morton then arose and made a brief speech,
thanking the senators for tho resolution
adopted and for the cordial co-operation
he had received from all. Ho then declared
the senate adjourned without day.
In the house on the 1st a messago was re
ceived from the senate announcing Its
agreement to the conference" report en th
lariff bill. Mr. McKlnley offered a resolii
tiou for the appointment of a committee of
three members to a ioint similar committee
on the part of the senate to wait upon the
president and Inform him that congress was
ready to adjourn If he had no further com
munication to make. Adopted. Mr. Cas
well, of Wisconsin, submitted a letter ad
dressed to the speaker by Postmaster Wheat
tendering his resignation. Subsequently
Mr. Spooner, of Rhode Island, from com
mittee, submitted a report. It states
that the charges wore substantially es
tablished: and although tho relations
between Daltou (the previous potnustT)
aud Culbertson, tho mall contractor, gives
rise to grave suspicion, it seems a private
arrangement existed between them whereby
Dalton. during the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth
congresses derived personal profits out of
his contracts for carrying the mails, but no
absolute proof can be obtained. The report
is accompanied by a resolution declaring
tho office of postmaster of the house vacant,
and directing the assistant postmaster to
perform the duties until a postmaster shall
be appointed and qualified. Mr. Hayes, of
Iowa, submitted a minority report dissent
ing in reference to Postmaster Dalton.
Pending discussion upon tho question Mr.
McKinley called up the resolution for final
adjournment, with the amendment fixing
the hour at 6 o'clock, and It was agreed to.
Tho Wheat resolution was then agreed td.
The speaker laid before the house a letter
from Representative Conger, stating that
he had forwarded to the governor of Iowa
his resignation as representative from the
Seventh district of that state. The speaker
further stated that he had received a sub
stantially similar communication from Rep
resentative Dellaveu, of the First district
of California, but the letter was mislaid.
The senate concurrent resolution for ne
gotiations with Great Britain and Mexico
for the prevention of the entry of Chinese
laborers into the United States was agreed
to. Mr. McKlnley, chairman of the com
mittee appointed to wait upon the presi
dent, announced that the president had no
further communication to make, and then
the house took a recess. During recess
nearly all the members left tho hall to make
preparations for their departure from tho
city, and when the speaker reconvened tho
house he looked down upon a vast array of
empty seats. He merely stated that ac
cording to the con-current resolution he de
clared the first session of the Fifty-first
congress adjourned without day.
The Longest Siege.
Siege of Troy, apocryphal, ten years.
Siege of Tyre, actual, thirteen years.

ler (11. C. 572-333, 1, 101). "Sieges et
Capitulations Celebres," G3, C4, Ezekel
xxvi, xxvii, xxviii. The longest modern
sieges since artillery has assumed its
proper functions were: (1) Siege of
Ostend by the Spaniards, 1601-1004
three years. Like Tyre, Ostend could
ho succored from the sea. The garrison
only capitulated xx'hcn the town aud works
were literally mere masses of ruins.
(2) Siege of Gibraltar, attacked hy land
and sea by French and Spaniard, 1779
1783, for four years. This defense by
the English stands without a parallel in
tho annals of war. (3) During the
Thirty Year.-' xvar, Olmutz. taken by
Torstensen in 1812. xxis besieged or
blockaded for six years, from lfi42
to 1043, and was still held "by the
Swedes in 1;."0. xvhen they gave it up
in accordance with agreement, not com
pulsion. Other examples of astonishing
lonjr sieges micht b added. Constanti
nople might be said to hax'e been be
sieged by cither Persians or Turks from
A. I). 2G to G73. From ".09 to G73 the
Turks repeated their attacks yearly.
From G7.1 to 1433, xvhen taken by assault
by Mohamed IL, it xvas as much be
sieged as Troy actually xvas, if at all, for
the poor Byzantine Greeks had to be on
their guard continually, and they were
liable to attack any month or year.
American Xotcx ami Queries.
Damages for a Dccrted Husband.
Baltimore. Oct. 4. John Siebrecht, the
deserted husband who valued his wife's af
fections at S7.",000 and sued his old friend,
William II. Evans, a wealthy marble con
tractor, for that amount, was to-day
awarded $10,000 by the jury, and Is willing
to accept the amount if the court of appeals,
to which tho case will now be carried, does
not change the order of things by reversing
the rulings of the lower court. Evans
played the part of the mutual friend in ad
justing quarrels between Siebrecht and his
spouse, and finally pur-uaded Siebrechi to
sign a deed of separation and helped the
wife to obtain a divorce. Then Evans mar
ried her and Siebrecht discovered that he
had been duped by the two persons he loved
best in the world. Several of the jurymen
were in favor of giving him the full amount
of his claim, and it took four ballots to fix
thefig ure.
The Connecticut Campaign.
New H vx-en. Conn., Oct. I. speaker Reed
was here last night on the occasion of the
opening of the Connecticut campaign, under
the auspices of the Young Men's Republican
club. In his speech he referred to the ob
trusive tactics of tbc democratic minority
in the house, and in closing said: "We are
05,000,000 of people with energy, brains and
enterprise ready to reach out in every di
rection. Such people will never again be
contented to bo ruled by a machine that
does not correctly register its business."
