In Wilbur last week aged seventy-three.
He was a distinguished mason, being n
member of Pittsburg Valley (Pa.) con
sistory, thirty-second degree, and ah
honorary member of every masonic
lodge lu Pennsylvania: He also had
the distinction of being the last man
living whs had been tried for treason
against the United States, on which
charge he wastried in the United States

A the patients at the Norfolk in
sane asylum were being taken back to
the main building from the amusement
hall, where they had been dancing,
two of the patients. Mrs. Peterson from
Ponca and Jacob Stevens from Kietli
county, broke away from the crowd attd
disappeared in opposite directions
around the corners of the building.
The attendants started in pursuit and
captured Mrs. Peterson before she
reached the outside gates, but were not
so fortunate in finding Mr. Stevens,
who is yet at large. He is one of the
mild patients and will, therefore, be
much more liable to succeed in getting
away, since his sanity is not likely to
be questioned by farmers or persons
who may meet him.
Despite warnings of the local press to
the farmers in Hall and adjoining coun
ties the lightning rod agent is putting
in his work. Felix Geisinger tells how
the first agent came around and wrote
out a contract for him that he would
rod his house for 513.40; how the sec
ond agent followed with the rod and
presented a note for $150 which the as
tonished agriculturist was asked to sign
and, when the latter hesitated, how,
with a careless smile, the agent in
formed Mr. Geisinger he would be sued.
Geisinger, to avoid litigation, signed
the note. Cole Bros, is the name of the
firm, though this is not printed on the
order slips and can be changed as the
agent sees fit. A number of others have
been worked in the same way.
When the Portal townsite was laid
out, says the Papillion Times, its pro
jectors confidently anticipated that
within two years that suburb to a corn
field would become a great manufactur
ing center. With visions of a mighty
rush of investors the townsite company
platted about a thousand lots, decorat
ed them with trees and sidewalks and
calmly waited the shoal of suckers.
They waited in vain. The suckers re
fused to suck, and now the townsite
people want to vacate the plat and plant
corn on the land where the prospects
had picutured giant industries. Adolph
Peterson, H- Sprague, C. W. Shobert,
Dr. Curti, Fred Hagadorn and others
have formed a pool to employ legal tal
ent to protect their interests, and they
are confident that they can succeed in
keeping the plat of record.

prttfJBMionalMieii Were in the Federal

ing awaiting the hearing of the suit
brought against the World's Fair to
effect, the closing of the fates on Sun
day. Interest in the proceedings was
heightened when it became known
that District Attorfte Milchrist had
caused to be" issued subpoenas for
Messrs. Burnham, Cnlp asd Dickinson,
of the Fair management, whom the
State desired to. use as witnesses;
At 10 o'cldck Judges Woods, Jenk'ns
and Grosscup, of the court of appeals,
arrayed in their silk gowns, nled in
and took their places on the bench.
After Deputy Marshal Jones had ob
tained order) Judge Woods announced
that Chief justice Fuller of the United
States Supreme Court had been ex
pected but could not btt present owing
Vo a daughter's illness; that the Chief
Justice might attend the Court of Ap
peals a few days later. The court
then set the appeal cases ttn the call
for Tuesday of next Week, and the
Circuit Court of Appeals was formally
dissolved.
Circuit Court was then declared
open, and Judge Woods stated that
Judge Grosscup being a stockholder
in the Fair, had declined to sit on the
case.
Meanwhile attorneys for trie con
tending parties Had come lntd court
District Attorney Milchrist was ac
companied by Messrs. 'Hand, AldKch,
High and Fales. Od the opposite
side wera Attorneys Walker and St.
Clalir. Attorney W. E. Mason was
also ji court, representing C. W.
Ciingman, who had secured the in
junction in the State court restrain
ing the World's Fair Directors from
closing the Exbosition gates tin .Sun
days. He had not felt called iipon: ho
s i id., to. file, an intervening petition,
but HilrlEg the hearing of the case he
would Mke to call the attention of the
court to the suit pending in the State
"court.
At this juncture, Attorney Mjlebristi
addressing Judges Wtjod and JfeHkin's,
who retrained on the bench' said that
he and the counsel on the opposite side
would like to have Judge Grosscup .sit
in the hearing'. He had no Idea that
Judge Grosscup would be influenced in
the slightest degaf e by the fact that he
owned stock. Whan this was com
municated to Judgerosscup he again
took his seat on the -bench, Judge
Woods remarking that the amount of
the donation Was too small to create
any prejudice, even If a suspicion of
prejudice Were possible.
Attorney Clelan'd, representing the
Sabbatarian party, presented the bill
Ih which -Wana maker & Brown and
Pratt are complainant! Against, the
World'8 Columbian EabSsUTon. This
he had filed in the Clerk's office a few
minutes previously, and he asked the
conrt for an order Jrestrainlnff the
World's Columbian Exposition from
opCfling its gates on Sunday and from
returning to the Treasury the appro-
Jiriation of souvenir coins. He itt
ormed the court that notice had been
served on Attorney Edwin Walker.
The latter, fenljiag: said thllt no
tice had been sarVod on him Monday
nhiht, Wnen he was informed that the
I bPl hl already been filed, and he was
served with what purported to be a
copy of the bilL This service was not
proper, as he was not the defendant
nor the attorney far. the, defendant:
He objetttjd to the court hearing the
motion in this case in conjunction
with the case of the United States be
fore the court.
The Court sustained the objection,
ruling that it would only hear one bill
at a time. This settled the matter,
and Attorney Cleland retired from any
active participation itt the proceed
ings. . .
District Attorney Milchrist asked
leave to file an amendment to the
original bill. This set out that the
World's Fair directory had accepted
two installments of the government
appropriation after the passage of the
act setting aside $570,000 for awards,
and that these acceptances were made
with full knowledge of the setting
aside of the fund for awards.
Attorney alker at ottce objected to
the amendment on "the ground that it
raised new and serious issues whioh he
was not then prepared to meet
Considering this objection, the conrt
allowed the amendment to the original
bill, but gave leave to defendant coun
sel to take time to file an amendment
to their answer, which would meet the
points raised to the amendment to the
bill. A decision will not be reached
before to-morrow.
Found Gold In the Itadlaa Territory.
Nowata, L T., June 1. Great ex
citement prevails in this city over the
discovery of gold two miles northwest
of this place. J. R. Hilderbrand, for
merly a miner, while making improve
ments on a rough, broken portion of
his ranch, found what he supposed to
be a bullet, but upon further examina
tion he pronounced it gold. He
brought it to town and found that it
weighed nearly two pennyweights.
Acids of various kinds were applied,
but the nugget remained untarnished.
Quartz-bearing rocks were found near
by, and the general impression is that
a big find will be made

Sunday; This was refused.- Jtldgd
SYtiods, spedkiflg for the court, said no'

. On behalf of the fair it was" argued
thai if tile coWl sbotild granUhe pray

ment would have to either disobey that
order or the order of the state court
holding that the park, being for the re
creation; and enjoyment of the people,
they cduld not be kcpt odt tm any day
of the week. The court asked If the'
lbglc.bf this was. that no. entrance fee
Gdiild be1 charged: The attorney fbrtHe
fair said no, because 8i the large
amount of money spent in building the
improvements the fair directory was
entitled to charge a fee. This had al
ready been decided in effect.
Attorney Janies.L. High, fdr the gov-'
ernment, produced a fepoFt df tlje dedir

read a portion of President Iliggin

transferred the enterprise to the na

lying on the front stoop of the Reavis
house when Mr. Rcavis opened his door.
Then Sargent shot himself in the
head, the ball striking his fdrehead
and glancing upward, hot brcakitig ttic
skull. Sargent then got the butcher
knife and cut his throat. He also made
a poor job of this, cutting his windpipe
about half in two, but missing the large
veins of the neck. He was found in a
ditch near the house on his hands and
knees crawling around and trying to
get up. He was taken into the house
and there he tried to get the butcher
knife again, but was prevented.
Sargent was immediately arrested,
and is now in bed at the hotel under
the care of the doctor and the city mar
shal. The cause of the murder was iil
part jealousy and because Mrs. Sar
gent refused to live with her husband.
Bering: Sea Cases.
Washington, June 3. Unofficial ad
vices from members of the American
commission in Paris in connection with
the Bering sea arbitration do not give
nny hope of an early termination of the
present proceedings, besides Sir Charles
Russell, whose speech has just closed.
Great Britain will present four other
attorneys, but how much time they will
require it is impossible, of course, to
foretelL After they have finished, Mr.
Phelps and Mr. H. W. Blodgett of the
consul for the United States are still to
be heard. It is probable, however.that
about July 1 some of the attaches to
the American commission will be de
tached and return to this country. Af
ter the argument has been concluded
the arbitrators have three months in
which to render their decision. It is
hoped that the final result would be
reached by October 1, at which time the
modus vivendi, at present in existence,
regulating the legitimate catch of seals
in the Bering sea, will expire by the
terms of the treaty of arbitration.

Dr. Brlggs Lo'V Ills Cas.
Washington, June 1. AftefthW usu
al season of devotion yesterday morn
ing the Presbyterian general assembly
proceeded to vote on the question of
sustaining thSappoal from the judg
ment of the New York presbyter ac
quitting Prof. Bfiggs of heresy. Under
call of the roll, with speeches limited
to three minutes, each member rose
as called and stated whether he voted
for or against the appeal and the rea
sons thercfer. As one after another of
the members briefly iildicated his posi
tion Dr. iBriggs became weary Of the
talk, and asked and was granted per
mission to retire. The call of the pres
byteries by states progressed as far as
Kansas, when a recess was taken until
2 p. iil. , ,
After recess tlie ufe'bate continued
with the majority of the' speakers
against Dr. Briggs, though he found a
number of warm supporters, the most
notable one, perhaps, being a graduate
of Union theological seminary, James
F Garvin a missionary to Chili.
The call of the synod of New York
having been' coiripleted, Dr. Craig en
deavored id induce the assembly to
come to some amicable arrangement by
unanimous consent to" cut off the flood
of debate, but was unable to secure the
ncces-arj cd-opcration and Hid calling
of the roll was continued.
it was 8:43 o'clock when the moder
ator put the question: "Shall the
specifications Of vtrvr be sustained?"
artd Dr. Roberts, the staled clerk, read
th5 first sjp'eeifi ratiorf, in substalWC that
the presbytery of New York on objec
tions made by lir. lir. unggs itwureir
th nrosecutinir committee to amend tile"
amended charges and specifications by
striking out charge four. The speci
fication Was declared to be sustained by
a Vpte bf 232 tb 190: The vote showed
that the aitcrfriatice' was sev'erity-scvtfn
less than the number ill .attendance
when the vpte was taken Friday, Wri
ter tainlii? ihe appeal, the vote on which
was 403 yeas, 144 flays:
Specifications second to twelfth in
clusive, under the first ground ot a"p
peal, all relating to irregularities in the
prJcediHgi of the New York presby
tery were 'sustained, Seriatim, some by
Sod
four, which alleges that tud a"i ot
the presbytery in not giving Dr. Briggs
an opportunity to reply to alleged new
matter withbut specifying the new mat
ter w$s. irfcgrUarr The vote resulted
233 to 193, sustaining the "srJeCificption.
The second ground of appeal SllegcH
the receiving of improper testimony
and wasbas ul upon three specifications.
They set up that the defendant should
have been sworn; that the statements
and blatter Interpolated by the defend
ant into the record were" ptfrrrMttcd to
remain nf'd qiib'tations and extracts
offered by the fidfendrtnt Wcre received
as evidence without his iiJv:n? been
sworn. On first spc-ification a division",
was taken, the result being that the
specification was sustained 262 to 185.
The others were sustained by viva voce
vote.- .. ,
The third ground df Jshe. appeal was
that of declining to receivfe Important
testimony, with two specifications, thai
charges four and seven were stricken
out, thereby preventing the proving of
charges. These specifications were sus
tained Without division.
The fifth and last ground of the ap
peal cdncltidcd: ''Spe'ciicatloris of er
ror, and charges mistake qf injustice"
in the decision." The specification of
error charged is the failure to convict
the defendant on competent charges,
the facts being admitted by the de
fendant, that the judgment was not
warranted by the law and evidence;
that the judgment Is, in fact, an ap
proval df the views embodied In tho in
augural address; that the judgement is
vague, unjust and misleading; that the
presbytery was moved by unsworri and
improver testimony; that the judghie'flt
is contradictory in form and effect.
The votes on these specifications were
taken without a division, resulting in a
declaration that each and every one
had been sustained.
This part of the proceedings having
been disposed of Kcv. .Wi C. Young of
Kentucky mbved that the roll be called
and that the assembly vote on the main
question: "Shall the appeal be sus
tained?" which was adopted.
Before beginning the roll call, the
moderator announced that the form of
answer would be "sustained" or "not
sustained," and that the commissoncrs
might vote "to sustain in part," but
that such votes would be counted as
part of the total to sustain the appeal.
The roll was then called in the midst
of an almost painful stillness, the spec
tators in the gallery rising to their feet
in their anxiety to catch every re
sponse. The vote was announced at 10:13 by
the stated clerk as follows: Whole
number of votes cast, 4'.9; to sustain
the appeal, 2!S; to sustain in part, 83;
total to sustain the appeal, 383; not to
sustain, 116.
After the result had been announced.
Rev. J. T. Smith of Baltimore moved
the appointment of a committee of
fifteen commissioners, of which Rev.
Thomas A. Hovt, D. D., of Philadel
phia, shall be chairman, to bring in an
explanatory minute. This was carried,
and, on motion of the president of La
fayette college, the moderator was
authorized to appoint the committee.
Peace Reigns in Nicaragua.
Washington, June 1. Secretary
Gresham today received the following
dispatch from New York:
President Socosa of Nicaragua re
signed last night.
James A. Scrymser.
Mr. Scrymser is president of the Cen
tral American Cable company and this
dispatch is the first information that
the state department has received in
dicating an end of the war in Nicar
agua. It has been unofficially stated
that United States Minister Baker has
been using his best efforts to bring
about peace and the department is anx
iously awaiting ofhcial corroboration by
him of the dispatch sent by Mr. Scrym
ser, although Secretary Gresham be
lieves the latter to be trustworthy.
Guarding the Public Health.
Washington, D. C, June 1. Treas
ury officials are not apprehensive that
cholera will appear in this country.
Since last fall, when in certain Europe
an ports cholera became epidemic, the
sanitary conditions have been improved
and the greatest precautions known to
medical science have been called into
use. The United States government,
tally and sdmer mcfel u vira voce,
or rising' vote. The Briggs men showed
their m-eatest Stl'eiljrtli on snecifleatioh.
both at home and abroad, is observing
all the known precautions to prevent
its reaching here, and these efforts will
be doubly increased now that
cholera cases have appeared in Ham
burg. It Is not thought necessary at
this stage to quarantine against any
European points, bat should cholera in
crease Secretary Carlisle wiU not hesi
tate to do so.
Dr. Wyman said today he felt no
alarm on the subject, but was keeping
the closest kind of watch on incoming
steamers from cholera infected ports.
Not a Single Bid.
Washington, June 3. A few days
ago the Cherokee Indiaji committee ad
vertised for bids for S3,000,000 bonds
guaranteed by the government. The
date for opening the bids was 12 o'clock
yestefdiy.-
When that htmr arrived a number of
the committee and several treasury offi
cials were in Secretary Carlisle's room
at the treasury department. Not a
Single bid was made, and the Cherokee
Indian committee very plainly showed
their disappointment.
Concerning the bond matter Chief
Harris stated to a correspondent: "We
were assured by some of the bond
agents that they would give us par,and
they made free with talk of that kind,
bat there was no bid on paper, in the
way we Wanted to do business.
"There seems to be a disposition on
the part of some to object to the way in
which the bonds are gotten up, and
hence they insist that they do not care
to make an investment, but that is all
New York talk.
"Ve Will go home in a few days and
not try to sell them this tjme. If any
one wants the bonds they will know
where to find them and how to get
them. If they do not want them we
will get our money from the govern
ment when they arc due.
"We will go home within a wcek.and
I will soon be ready to give the secre
tary of the interior all the information
in my possession concerning the fellows
who should be allowed to take claims
in the atrip under the severalty clause."

WasHIS&tox, .tufJB 2. Bobert T.
Lincoln has been In the country hardly
a week, yet he is honored by the papers
hefe with all able-bodied Presidential
bpomlet It f fstlmated that many
of the Republican leaders look upon
Mr. Lincoln aa he man ttf bring back
Illinois to the Republican fold. Ac
cOrdiOf to the stoTy the Republican
leaders are" casting about fpr some plan
tfffecognitka, which .will giVo them
new leadefB.On new lines. They ir
anxious to stretigihe themselves in
Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, the loss
of the first two States and the narrow
Mcape of the other last fall
iildicated the locality of their
weakness. Th? hope to redeem
themselves at the h'eAt ensuing State
elections. They count on the p disap
pointments growing out of the distribu
tion of marshals, fourth-class post
officers and other patronage to weeken
tfce Democrats in the next local elec
tions, and thus they expect to excite
the party tti activity.
Thiv are looking with a great deal
of interest tti the election of Governor
of Ohio. They expect to elect McKin
ley for Governor, possibly over Camp
bell, and out of this some of tuetn let
their imaginations draw a picture of a
presidents campaign to come with
MfcKJnley afld Robert Lincoln on their
ticket to hold Ohio and Illinois, and
possibly through the di-matisficd policy
among Democrats in Indiana to give a
Republican victory in Indiana.
Whether the ticket should read Mc
Klnley and Lincoln, or Lincoln and
McKinley, Is said to make no material
difference, as any arrangement of the
name's WoUld make the ticket strong
in the home states of the candidates.
It is being .suggested also by the
local wiseacres that the possibilities of
.. lllinnin man in the first or second
place of the Democratic ticket add to
the availability of- Mr. Lincoln. At
all avr nts the Lincoln boom has been
started on Its round by the Washing
ton prophets and it promises to be a
source of prolific comment.
Washington Notes.
Washington, June 1. A few days
ago the Cherokee Indian committee ad
vertised forbids for 53,000,000 bonds
guarnntcd by the government. The
date fiaeffor opening the bids was 12
d'clock yesterday. Wlien that hour ar
rived a number of the committee and
several treasury officials were in Secre
tary Carlisle's room at the treasury de
partment. Not a single bid was made
atid the Cherokee Indian committee
very plaitily showed its disappoint
ment. It appears that the president is un
willing to permit Senator Allison to
terminate his services as a member of
the international money conference in
spite of the senator's oft expressed wish
of so doing, and the senator may yet
consent to serve.
The Star says: The president has in
dicated that he will probably call con
gress together about the 1st of October
instead of the middle of September as
at first contemplated.
Arrival la Chicago of the Distinguished
Legate of the Pope.
Chicago, Jnne 2. Mgr. Satolli, the
delegate in the United States of Pope
Leo XIIL, arrivea in t,nicago at noon,
and will remain here until June 5,
when he will return to Washington.
The direct object of Mgr Satolli's visit
to Chicago at this time is to arouse re
ligious fervor among the Catholic Ital
ians of the city, many of whom, for
wast of church accommodations and
Italian-speaking priests, have become
careless in regard to their religious
duties.
Incidentally the papal delegate will,
it is rumored, investigate certain mit
lera connected with the administra
tion of the Arch-Diocese of Chicago.
Prominent western prelates and lay
men standing high in the church will
meet him. Among these will bs
Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, and it
is whispered in Catholic circles that
before Mgr. Satolli leaves Chicago
there will be a semi-official announce
ment that the Pope has been pleased
to express in a special and marked
way his esteem for his grace of St.
Paul.
Foster's Creditors Keady to Settlo
Cleveland, Ohio, June 1. A
largely attended meeting of the credi
tora of ex-Gov. Foster was held at Fos
toria. Resolutions of sympathy were
adopted, after which it was agreed to
accept 50 cents on the dollar in pay
ment of claims, leaving it entirely
with Mr. Fos er whether he should
pay more if he became financially able
to do so. A statement from the Gov
ernor was read, saying that he could
pay 30 per cent of his debts soon and
