DKS MOINKS , la. , Juno 8. ( Special Tele
gram to the Ur.n.J The new chambers of the
supreme court at the new capital wcro fjr-
nmlly dedicated to-day with apnroprlano and
Imposing ceremonies. The occasion marked
not only the occupancy for the first time of
the elegant and commodious quarters , but
signalized tlio first session of the court In Its
permanent quarters since the law locating all
terms ot the court at the capital was passed.
The main court chamber Is not sin passed
In beauty , elegance and convenience by
any In the United States. The allegorical
frescoes on the eel line wcro bronchi from
Germany. The bench befoio tlio court Is of
inuisslvo carved mahogany. The upholster-
.Ing and furnishings are rich and luxurious ,
nnd In keeping with the elegance that per
vades the whole building. Opening from the
main chamber are separate rooms , richly fur
nished , for each ofllccr and member of the
court , and a general consultation room for
the entire bench. When the crier announced
the appearance of the supreme court this
morning , 'an audience composed of the
leading members of the Iowa bar , the
goacrnor and other state ofliccrs rose to greet
them. The entire bench of five Judges , Chief
Justice Adams presiding , occupied the dais ,
and In fiont of them sat Justice Samuel F.
'Jtlllcr. of the United States supreme court ,
Justice Wilson , the only surviving member
of the territorial supreme bench ; ox-Justices
Cole , Day , Miller nnd Wilght , of the supreme
premo bench ; Congressman B. J. Hall , of
Eurllnglpn ; the entire senate In a body , and
other distinguished citizens. Kx-Senator
George G. Wright , of Ihli city , was the first
sneaker , and gave the add less of welcome ,
and spoke with a frcllng recollection
of the early days of the court , .fudge
Thomas S. Wilsonof Oblniqnc , the only sur
viving member of the teirltorlal bench of
'Iowa , represented thnpiolesslnnot' that day ,
nnd recalled some of the Interesting features
ot court life and the transactions with the In
dians before Iowa became astato. Ex-Justice
C. C. Cole , of this' city , spoke for former
numbers of the state bench. 1'rolessor F. S.
Tarvln , of Cedar Uaplds. read an historical
flftetch of the olden bar. Major
Hairy O'Connor , formeily attorney
general of Iowa , and later solicitor in the
state depart m nit at Washington , spoke for
the former ofliccrs of the court. John N.
Daldwln , of Council IJIntr.s , made a polished
nddress for the younger members of the
Iowa bar , and Justice Miller of the United
-States supreme court , delivered the closing
address. Ho spoke with deep atl'cctlon and
feeling of the changes time had wrought in
.thelporsonac of the Iowa bar , and in clos
ing recalled the fact that ho had now passed
Ills seventieth birthday and might never
meet again so many members of the profos-
.fslonin , this state. He said that If ho had
ever been able to render any service to his
"country and state ho owed It all to the con
stant kindness and unfailing support of his
brethren In Iowa. His remarks weie
BO full of tenderness and pathos
that It was with tllillculty ho
.could control his emotion sufficiently to utter
tJiom. Interesting letters weio read from
lion. 1'rani'Is ' Springer of Louisa county ,
who was president ot the first constitutional
convention held in Iowa , and Juage John F.
jDillon of Now York city , formerly the pride
-and ornament of the state and federal bench
The Impeachment Trial.
DES MOINKS , la. , Jiiiitj 8. This has been
B'dry day fn tlio Impeachment court. The
only points scored weio clearly In favor of
the accused auditor. A book keeper and an
assistant secretary of the llawkoyo Insur-
'Wico company were on the witness stand ,
but nothing was elicited In relation to that
company. Their statements of the methods
of doing business illustrated the need of the
examination and the tedlousness of the work.
D. F. Allen , the well known president of the
CoOjK CoUnty bank , now president of the
, Monarch .Insurance company , ot DCS Molncs ,
was called. The company was organized In
1881 , and known as the Oskuloosa insurance -
„ anco company. It removed to DCS
Molnes in 1684 , and the name
' fehanced to the Monarch , with the same
ijnanagemont except tlio president. It was
examined by Air. Vail In 1884 at a cost of
-31,017. No protest was made as to excessive
charges. Mr. Shannon , bookkeeper of the
8amo company , was then sworn. Ills cross-
examination branched out a little Into the
nature of the report 'which rcsulteil from
.Avail's examination of the company. The
'rrianagcrs struggled desperately to close the
door of Inquiry Into matters of that sort , but
the court overruled them. The witness ad
mitted the fact set forth In the report that in
December , ItsSS , the directors passed a icsolu-
tlon assessing'tho stockholders 15 per cent to
maKe good an Impairment of capital , nnd after
the annual statement was made In January ,
jMft | auolhor resolution was passed authoriz
ing the felunding of this money to the block-
holders. The outcropping of this little fact
created nn Impression. The Uromer County
bank was again heard from this afternoon ,
'fir. Lusch , who served as cashier alter the
.dlscov.cry of the crookedness of the former
jeoalilcr , was1 called by the prosecution. Ills
. .afreet examination did not In the least affect
ho actual solvency of the bank. On cross-
examination ho swore positively that In
, April , 1634 , after Brown's examination , the
/bank had available assets exceeding all Its
. ( liabilities to outside parties. It had enough
' /besides / to pay 875,000 of stock and liabilities
Jand Inavo S'J.GOO of surplus , That sworn
Statement ho made as cashier and ho again
"jvorltied It by oath to-day. That Hetties the
Question of the solvency of the bank when
J4io\vn gave his statement for publication.

EDWIN BOOTH.
His Weakness and How His Daughter
Guards Him from Temptation.
Syracuse Standard : I am told that
Edwin Booth's weakness for drink has
been the Imuntjng fcnr of his life. The
moroseness which has generally been as
cribed to the blight put on tbo family
name by the brother is said to be duo to
Ins constant battle \vith his appetite ,
\yliich , like the genius of the Booths ,
tinges every drop of his blood a con
sanguine curse which drove a father to
madness and a son to murder. Edwin
Booth's daughter has been his guardian
angel. Unfortunate in hjs marriage , hers
was the controlling voice in his * heart
the subtla spell wrought by a watchful ,
dutiful child , her constantuiisullisli com
panionship , and loving regulation of
habits throwing about him an inlliienco
anil a barrier which resisted the worker
man within him. Whatever in the way
of stimulant that was allowed him ho
invariably took from the hands of the
daughter , whoso gentleness was strength
In weakness. Thus ho was able" to tri
umph over his temptation. Last winter
his daughter was married. Loft alone
with temptation , it seams to have out
doiui him. This 1 l ; > arn in a reliable
manner M the family skeleton in the
liooth household.
