Thcro was but little of u sensational nature developed yesterday In the Mclmlck trial The forenoon was taken up In a rather un successful attempt on the part of the defense to got In evidence concerning various mat- tors. The state kept raising objections , ant tedious legal arguments were so freely sandwiched among the bits of evidence as to render the session rather less entertaining than uauul for the audlenco which was ol usual size. Mrs. Porter was recalled for further cross-examination. The defense sought to gain further Information from her concern ing the letter which Mr. llelmick received informing him of Palmer's character , aniJ urging him to warn Mrs. Porter , as her daughter was about to marry "Palmer. David Oliver was recalled. The attorneys for the defense spent -considerable time in tryln ? to get this witness for the state to face the jury In a satisfactory way. An attempt was made to got Oliver to testify as to a little episode which occurred In the corridor rider of the court house n half-hour before. It , seems that Oliver and other witnesses for the state had expressed hot anger against Griindel , ono of the witnesses for the dc- feuso , and had informed him they were going to "do him up , " or In some other way "got oven" after they ( mould have returned to Neola at the close of the trial. Many of the questions were ruled out , Oliver denied threats , but admitted having had a talk. Jim Hardman , another witness for the state , who was supposed to have likewise threatened Grundol for testifying for the defense , was culled to the stand. Ho ad mitted talking to Grundol about his testi mony. for ho thought Grundol had been lying about him on the stand. Ho denied threatening Grundol. John Grundol was next called , and asked concerning the sumo matter , but the defense bad poor success in getting in his story , the objections on the part of too state coming in too thick. Mr. Prudor was next called to the witness chair. The purpose of his testimony was to contradict Hardmun , who bad sworn that on the night of the shooting ho was at homo , and that ho was not one of the egg-throwing gang. Pruaer .testified that the next day after the shooting , in thu course of a conversation about the affair , a man named Cooler rnado the remark that ho would bet Helmick would got clear , for the boys were on his premises and in the barn. Hardman then said , "wo were in the alley. " The witness remarked , " 1 thought you weren't there , riardmahl11 "Well " Hardman said , , cor recting himself , "I mean the boys were In the alloy. " Mrs. Klsbton was called and interrogated concerning a conversation had between Palmer and Crissmnn in Juno. It was in regard to the letter written by Crissumn to Helmick concerning Palmer , and by which letter Holmlck was urged to see the young lady whom Palmer was courting and warn her and her mother of Palmer's character. Palmer was much oxcltod over the matter , threw his hat down in an ugly manner , swore , and said ho would settle with Hoi- mick. The witness did not notice whether Palmer had a revolver or not , she was so frightened. This closed the evidence for the day. .Tudgo Thornoll has not announced his do- clslon as to whether ho will permit the letter referred to go to the jury.

Much curiosity bus been manifested as to what policy will bo pursued by Mayor-Elect Macroa and the coming administration. The newly elected executive chief nas not been very communicative on the subject , and ho lias not been regarded as a promising subject by the newspaper Interviewers. It Is well known that ho holds very positive opinions , but ho has exhibited no Intention of making them known until after he takes his seat in the mayor's ' chair. Several' of cho anxious ones have tried to obtain some little Inkling of bis Intentions In the way of appointments , ! > 'H ' the result failed to satisfy them. This Doing the case , speculation Is rife as to who this appointees will bo , and as speculation it will continue for several days to coiuo. As the mayor is ex-ollluio tbo Jhoad of the police department , the appointment of n chief and of the mombora of the force must necessarily bo made by him , and ho has been besieged by applicants. A dollr.lto answer , however , is something that Isliot jlven , aud none of the aspirants for a posl- .lon in the city's employ will Know the result if their application until the mayor report * its appointment ! ) to the city council , it may bo conjectured how many there are who desire a place ou the force when It la mown that four names are mentioned for the position of chief. This quartette con sists of Dr. Wade Gary , Capt alu. James An derson of the merchants police , O. H. Lucas , .lia present Incumbent.nnd Theodora Gulttar. Bach has inoro or less of a following , but as yet neither can positively claim the endorsement that each is so anxious to re ceive. Another subject of mnoh speculation la what course will bo pursued with reference to the closing of saloons and gambllnu houses , and the interest that la felt lu the mutter la lot confined to the sporting class. In order to aicortam what would bo douo In this direction u Bin : reporter called at the ofllco of the ciayor-olect yesterday afternoon. That gentleman was fouud quietly smoking mid chatting withn few friends , and It was evi dent that the prospect of coining cares was lot wearing upon him , neither did ho mani fest any uneasiness ever the situation. Ho admitted that ho had boon besieged by u jreat many applicants , but stated tbi.t thus far he bad made no appointments. Ho said : "I will have thorn all ready to announce to .ho council , but It will hardly ba at the meet- ug on the 17th tnst. 1 will present them at lomo subsequent time. There are plenty of applicants , and I begin to understand what the president of the United btutcs has to contend with. If the rest of tbo country fur- ulatict ai many lookers after federal oBlce In proportion as this city does for municipal po ftitlon * I don't t'linn I would care to take the president's place , although ho cm dodge the ofllco seekers bettor than the mayor can Mayor Hotircr called on mo this morning and gave mo a llttlo of his experience. B.v the way , 1 read In ono of thn papers thit 1 was hard at work on my Inaugural message and that nlayor Hohrcr was jus as busy on his farewell message that was news to mo , nnd Mayor Hohror was equally surprised to learn it. The fact Is ttmt neither of us have yet begun work on thoio documents. " "Do you object to stating what the policy of llio now administration will bol" "In what respect I" 'Well , ilrit with reference to the saloons and gambling houses I" " 1 suppose that the oambllng houses wit bo closed and the saloons will to regulated M > understanding from the notice to gam biers that has boon published In the city pa pers la that the gambling houses are to ba closed by tbo 15th of this month. This Is to bo dona by those who signed the petition and they have pledged themselves to furnlsl the necessary money to do It. They wll close the places and then- am expected tc keep them closed. " "And you propose to do this I" "I do , most assuredly. " "In what way do you Intend to regulate the saloons ) " "B.V Keeping thorn closed Sunday , nnd requiring quiring thorn to close at a regular hour every night. I don't think the people demand that they should bo closed altogether. " "What hour will be fixed for their clos Ingl" "Well , I don't know positively probably 11 o'clock. Folks ought to bo homo by tha time , and if there are no gambling houses the saloons ought to bo willing to close at that hour. I believe they nro allowed to remain main open until 12 o'clock in Omaha , butl see no necessity for it. " "When you say that they must bo closet nt certain times I suppose you moan ut both ends ! " "Well. I think they will find out that I mean what 1 say , and that when I say 'close up' it doesn't mean dodge in the back way. ' ' Now. what will bo your police policy i" " 1'ho llrst thing will bo to convince the de partment that there Is n head to it , " was the decided answer. "Affairs In this dlrcotloi will bo changed so that n policeman will com inaud some respect. The force wllL bo man aged In a business-like manner , and J. hope to see it very tmiuh improved. " "Will it bo the policy of the administra tion to continue making public improvements during the next two years ! " "Certainly , to some extent. The flnancla condition of the city must govern that. The resolutions adopted by the citizens' eonvon tion demand retrenchment in this direc tion. " "Do you propose to follow out the line o action indicated by those resolutions ! " "Yes , they seem to just about meet my ideas. " "What do you think of the proposed ordi nance cutting down the salaries of the city ofliuials ! " "I have not looked Into the matter. Mayor Kohrer stated that he did not uolievo the ordinance would pass , and that ho is in favor of raising instead of reducing them. However - over , we will try to give the city a good ani satisfactory administration , ut whatever sum tbo salaries are tlxcd. " At this juncture the doctor was callet away , and the outlining of the coming policy was at an end. It seems that Peter Wind , the alaorman- elect from the Second ward , is of much the same opinion as the mayor-elect regarding applicants. Ho says that ho thought it was all over when the polls closed , but ho now realizes his mistake. Ho has been . con stantly harassed nnd anuoyed , and ho is ol the opinion that they even begrudga him the time it takes to oat his meals. They call al bis housa aud follow hlnf on the street , and the other newly elected members of the council cannot even find tune to sympathize with him because they nro similarly annoyed.

VIEWS OF FRANCIS MUiU'ilY ' Ho Qivos Hla Reasons for Oppoalne Statutory Prohibition. IT IS NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE. it License Docs Not Create but Uostrlcti the Trnfllo In Liquor Ax With | | Putty A IlnrbVlro Imw. "If Francis Murphy Isn't a prohibitions how docs ho manage to hnrmonha the pro hlbition und anti-prohibition elements whlli prosecuting his gospel temperance work I " This Is a question that tins been askct scores of times durln ? the past wee * bj tlioso who hnvo attended the nlRhtly meetIngs Ings at Masonic temple , nnd who tiavo no ticed those co-operating with this noted tern poranco worker In his endeavor to reclaim claim men and save thorn from the certain destruction to which their unROverncd appetites are leadlngEthom , Joined with him in this noble work are al the pastors ot the city and many promlnonl business men as well as n number of ladle : xvlio are prominent In the social circles ol the Hluffs. The prohibition leaders are oul in force at every mooting , and Hov. T. J , Mackny , rector of St. Paul's , whoso loiters opposing the prohibitory law created such r discussion a short time ago , is always 01 : hand taking an active part in tlicso meetings This Is the state of affairs ttiut has suggested these questions , and considerable Intercsl attaches to the situation when it in known that Mr. Murnhy is not only an unbeliever In statutory pronlbitlon , but Is ordinarily outspoken in his opposition to It. His nnu-prohlbrtory ideas , however , he hub kept to himself , and when u Hii : ; reporter porter called upon him yesterday afternoon and naked for on Interview onjtliat very sub jcct , the noted lecturer smilingly regarded his culler for a few seconds and then gave him un admonishing jab in the ribs ns ho remarked - marked : "Seo hero , you'll got mo into .troubli1 with tlicso prohibition folks if you don't look out , and 1 mustn't ' have that. " . "Well , but , Mr. Murpny , it is generally un derstood tbut you are opposed to a prohibi tory law I" "Just wait a minute don't get mo tangled up In any differences of opinion uotwcon the prohibitioniats and the aiiti-prohibitloniHts , My work is to lift men up and to save them by the grace of God. Thorn that arc well need not tno physician , but them that are sick. That's what the blblo says , and I am working to help tlicso who need it , and not mixing up in nny outside quarrels. Don't say anything to Inturfero with this work. The prohibitionists think that prohibition is the necessary thing , and I don't want to lese their help just because I don't think ns they do. They are helping me , and wo arc doing good wont , but if you como out with an interview stating that Mur- pnv is opposed to the prohibitory law and thluks It u failure and all that kind of truck , these folks would drop mo 11 ice a hot potato , and I would bo a dead duck in this city. Let us wonit to save these men who uro now of no us" jo themselves or anyone - ono else , and lift the'ini back to the piano ( rein which they fellSUospul tcmporanco is the only plan of reformation that can suc ceed. Now don't do"ilnvthing to impair its work hure. The prohibition folks ought to bo satisfied , , 'i'hoy have had full swing here for five years , and I have been kept out of thu state. I have been and always shall bo opposed to this third party busl- IICES Lo auso It can not bo successful. Miss Frances E. Willurd bus been lighting me for years for this very reason. She has tried to keep mo out of Iowa , and since that Chicago convention has boon particularly bitter against me. Wo cannot work together in the matter. If prohibition is to bo u suc cess the prohibitory law , must bo passed by each man for himself , aud then ho will see that the Jaw Is enforced. The grace of God In the heart is the scurcoof all true reforma tion , and that al' no is successful. This I am trying to bring abjut , and I don't want any clement antagonized to intOrfor with the progress of the work. "iho trouble with prohibitory law is that , the law ispassed , , and thu temperance folks leave it all to the law. They sit down and fold their hands and think they have done their fall duty. The prohibitory law is a barb wire fence that they have thrown around the people , and then they expect to raise a crop , The ground must bo ploughed and harrowed and carefully tended , and then vho crop must bo harvostod. This barb wire fence business Is a bna thing. While the folks are sitting around quietly the enemy conies up and throws bottles of whisky be tween the wires. He sows tares among the wheat , and that Is where the trouble is. "Tho law has been in effect hero for 11 vo years , and the people are not satisfied. Whisky is sold und drunk. The prohibition ists , us I suld , think their duty Is done , und they leave it for the officers to enforce the law. Their lethargy righ'thoro is a mistake. 'Ihoy should keep right on with their gospel temperance work and make each individual u prohibitionist for himself. If this work had gene on for the past ilvo years the ques tion would have been comparatively settled now , but they passed this law and tliou their work seemed to bo ut an end , and there has boon no progress In U. "Tho passage of this law hurt gospel tem perance. When It wus passed in Kansas , that state had thousands and thousands of Its citizens followers of thu Murphy move ment. That wua how they got the law , but when I afterwards wanted to go back there and work , they said ' 110 , it won't do. It wjll throw discredit on the law , und folks will think the law Is not sufficient if wo have to push gospel temperance with it. ' Murphy can't go there because ho thinks each man stiou.ld become his own prohibitionist , aside from unythme on the statute books. "I know that the prohibition people are rather suspicious of me. They think that I don't boom the prohibitory law , but they must remember tlut I don't work against u , I agreed 10 this when I uamo into thu slate on tbo 10th of last November , and I worked hard for gospel temperance , without saying anything against the inova to prohibit by stututo. "Some of the prohibition people hero have oven charged mo wi'.h drinking with the boys. 1 don't deny it. I have boon buying Co I fax water , und it has done mo u world of gond.

My thoughts were turned to San Luis the ether day by the news from there that a man had found n band of will horses in the mountains and had captured turod about twenty in n corral , says i writer in the Now York Tribune There nro four or Ilvo bands of will horses that take care of themselves it the unfenced mountains of the Uppoi Sierras , but none in the Coast Range north of San Luis. They are descendci from Spanish mustangs , and are as wilt and worthless for any kind of work m it is possible to imagine. In ono case in early times , a Spanish land ownoi was porauadoa to buy an Amoricar plough and sow some wheat. TJo had four or Hvo mustangs tied to the plough' beam , put boys on the mustangs , ant then ran across the Holds , with sovora Indians hanging to the plough-handles Every now and then the mustangs lieu out on the ploughed ground and kicked "for till tlioy were worth. " After a lit tle while the old Don was heard to say ; "What men those Americans are ! How hard they work for nothing ! " And se he wont back to his brush harrow. Ono ot the characters of San Luis died a short.time ago. Ho was a frontiersman - man , known over thousands of square miles oi mountain and valley as ' 'Uncle Billy of .Josephine. " lie was.n , griz zled giant.certainly the coolest nnd strongest man in the region , and kept a saloon for the quicksilver minors , a postolllco and a store. He was a black smith , a school trustee , and a few things besides , especially a whool-horso at came meetings. One night four Mexi can minors in his saloon tried to rob the old man. The door was shut , but ho throw the foremost Mexican through tie panels into the road , and then , putting bis arm about the throe others , shoved them on masse through the splinters and fragments of the broken door. "One or two of those Mexicans stuck their knives into mo , " said Uncle Billy afterwards , "but I never showed I was hurt , and after they were thrown out they crawled away. " In fact ono knife thrust was clear through his arm ; but on the ether hand ho crippled most of the Mexicans for life. There were plenty of grizzlies around the mountains lifteen years ago , and I hear of them oven now. Every one in the mountains has an immense respect for .the grizx.ly. An old frontiersman tolls mo that a few years ago ho was hunting stray cattle and he came on anew now settler's cabin beside an oak in a mountain valley. Ho stayed with the settler ever night , sleeping in a blanket before the fire. During the night they heard a great noise outsido. The settler tlor looked hastily out and reported that a lartro bear was at the meat siifo , which hung under the oak tree. The frontiersman was asked to shoot , it , but said ho would not risk it , with only a revolver anil a shotgun. The wife of the settler remarked that they wore both cowards , and she would drive it oil with a broom. They locked the door , prevented her from going out , and shortly after heard the meat safe fall and roll into the gulch. In the morn ing they found that an old horse had become entangled in the ropes of the moat safe , and finally torn it down in his struggles and dragged it down the ravine. The old frontiersman and the now settler were obliged in self defense to retire to the headwaters of the San Antonio within a week and stay thtro : until they had killed a grizzly apiece. Ono of the hardest cases I ever know was old "Buck" Wright who lived in a logxjabin twenty mile's west ot Paso Roblos. He was called "tho worst man in all San Luis Obispo county to cuss right out loud when things wont wrong. Old Uaxon down at Ballurd's was called the worst mun in all Santa Barbara county to do the same thing. Wright had boon a necro driver ( town south before the war ; L-'avon hud boon a bull puncher over in Nevada. Some follows hid hoard ono of them swear and some the ether ; but nobody around Sun Luis had heard both of them. So the boys wanted a match , and put up $100. First , they tried to got Fuxon to climb into a wug'on they had , and go to Paso Roblos to meet Wright. But'ho said it was a dry summer , nnd grass was scarce ; he hadn't no call to burn up all the cattle food. Then wo told that to Wright and asked him to go with us to Bullard's , where Faxon lived , and Wright answered that ho couldn't swear worth a cent outside his own county. But folks that hud known him since ho was a snipe of a boy in Missouri told us he was too modest on that point. Then the boys raised the size of the purse and it was llnallv agreed to have a match on the county line , but just before the details - tails were settled old Faxon died. \Vhon Wright came to the county ho iook a schooner at San Francisco to sail down the coast , a week's voyage to Oay- ucas. The llrst any ho was seasick and ho swore so bad the Bailers asked the captain to put back or they would have storms , and sure enough , headwinds began the very next day and they boat up and down the coast for two weeks. Wright's remarks grow worse everyday till at last the captain hauled iu at the mouth of the Salinas and landed him , bag and baggage , 101) ) miles north of his port. Wright walked the rest of the way. That was where ho got the line touches of his sweuring in perfection. Ho came into Paso Roblos barefooted. Tlio schooner ? San Luis people s.iy she wus never heard of afterward. TIPS TO RAILWAY PORIERS. What Men In Rutland Have to tiny About It ThouiHclvcH. The question of tipping porters at rail way stations in England , which was raised recently at a meeting of the pro prietors of the London & Southwestern railway , suggested the idfea of taking the opinion of the porters themselves on this very moot subject. . A repre sentative ot the Pall Mall Ga/.olto in consequence paid visits to some of the London termini nnd interrogated the "baggage smashers. " The aggregate opinion Booms to ho that thu porters and guards have the real interests of the companies ut heart. "If you stop the system ot tipping en tirely , ' ' said one , "it is certain that our wages must bo increased. W9ll , there ju't tiuompiny in E nglmid that could Bland the racket. As It is wo can near ly double our wages the year round out of tips , but no railway company in going to double our wages. That isn't likely. " "Look here,1' ' said another , "it you offer mo a tip do you suppose that I'm going to bo mug enough to lofusoitV It's all very well for you to say that tuo company pays mo to do my work that's riuito true ; but my work don't include looking after goats for the passengers , From the Forty-fifth Annual Report * ( Jtxnunry 1st , 1000) ) of the New York Life Insurance Company 340 & 340 Brondwny , Now York , IAM 'irlinirii , T i > rcM < iciii.

Yet wo do all that and doit willingly. Some people take It all as a matter of course ; if so , wo don't grumble and growl and refuse to do it for any ono. On the contrary we are ready to'do the same thing for the next person that comes along. Well , when wo got a tip , say tinything from 2d to 2s ( id , shouldn't wo bo fools to nand it back and say , 'Excuse mo , J > ut gratuities are not per mitted by the company's rules ? ' That's the way I look at it. " "Tho wages of railway porters and guards , " said a third , "range from 2os. up to 5 a week. If a man can add half us much again to his wages by accept ing tips he isn't likely to bo foolish enough not to. It is simple rot to talk about the system of tipping being do- grading. You might just as well say that a man who rcceivob money for do ing extra work in extra hours is de graded. It is exactly the same thing. A porter is not obliged to do many of the things lie doca now with pleasure and civilly , and surely a trilling gratui ty which adds to his power ot keeping wife , family and home together has nothing ot a dcErrading nuturo in it. " "In some stations , " said still another porter , "the tips are all collected , put in a box , and divided equally , among the men at the end of each week. In this ivay the matter becomes quite a systam. Some men got more than others without doing any more work. They are placed in moro advnntagooua positions that is all. Well , a men who has to look after the third classes don't get so much as the man who attends to the first. Some times it is all the other way. There maybe bo a great many third passengers and only a few firsts. So that if all tlio tips aro'bp.xed and divided at the end of the year it comes fair enough. " "Would I do away with the tipping system ; " ' said an old fellow who had evidently seen many years' service , his hand seemed to wander so naturally ipto the recipient positior. "No , in deed , T would not. Why , its half my income. I don't see how the directors uro going to stop it , either. What's to prevent you from giving me a tip when t hand your bng or rug to you ? Noth ing ! Do you suppose the directors are always watching us ? And if some fol low was to go and peach how would ho prove the case ? It is IIOIIBOUSO to think of nulling it down ; they can't do it so lone as people want to tip us and wo want to take their tips. And that's about the size of it. " HE MASHED A HAT.

A young man got on nt Castile , who stood at the door , looked the passengers ever a minute or two , and ho then walked deliberately down the 'aisle and plumped himself down beside the cirl. As ho did so there was a crash and a crtibh , and ho sfjrang up to discover that ho had sat down upon a bandbox and mashed it Hat. Hat."I'm so sorry so fiorry !

Indeed I didn't " "Fork over ! " she interrupted , hold ing out her hand. "Twelve dollars ! " "Exactly. You have mashed a $12 bonnet and I want the money.

"Oh , you needn't ; you got oil cheap. K you badn't ' smashed the hat I'd pulled $2o worth ot hair out of your head anyhow.
