Lilly had H. A. CasWoll arrcsled on the
charge of disposing of mortgaged property.
Mr. Lilly had no positive proof of the facts
but ho had reason to bclluvo that there were
others In league with Caswcll who were run
ning off mortgaged property , and Lilly and
others in this community were out several
hundred dollars by the work of the gam : and
Lilly resolved to make an effort to ferret out
the parties. At the tlmo Caswell was ar-
4rcstcd h was iwiiscd of disposing of a gray
mare , which Lilly had sold him , a Jaclc , cow ,
wagon and other property. At the trial
Caswell swore that tbo mare was cither
stolen or had strayed off , and the
Wilson had been borrowed from his wife in
bis absence from homo and novur brought
back , that the Jack was dead , and that the
cow and o'her horses wore In Iho country.
His testimony was accepted by Judge Shinn
nnd ho was acquitted. Air. G. II. Jowctt

pearance at the next term ot the district

had given him a mortgage. Ho also said lhat
the gray mare was not stolen , but that bo
had sold her to Air. C. E. Ciibbs with the
knowled of Gibbs that she was the Lilly
mare and that Lilly had a mortgage on her.

HASTINGS , Nob. , Juno 1. [ Special to Tin :
BKI.I Tno olllcers of the Hastings insane
asylum were scon this afternoon by TIIK BKI :
"orrespondent regarding thu Item which ap
peared in the columns of the Lincoln dc-
urtmenl of Tin : BI'I : : charging them with
isurpine authority , etc. Air. Livoringhomo
ald ho did not desire to enter into any news
paper controversy with the now bo ml of
public l'\nds ' and buildings , but emphasized
the statement that ho had been mis
represented by them nnd would make
a few plain statements in defense.
IIo insisted that there was no friction or
controversy between himself and the board ,
nnd ho could not comprehend why ho should
bo assailed In this manner by unv ono mem
ber. IIo says It Is not true that ho ban been
kceplna- goods without orders ; says that
when the appropriation was oxhausled last
fall for this institution , the old board ordered
him to do thu best ho could under tlio cir
cumstances , as the merchants hero refused
to carry the state unless they were guaran
teed that bills would bo paid , but ho had
no similar understanding with tlic
now board Ihls spring. The now
board has given no instructions.
The ? 3'20 grocery bill in controversy dates
back to March -M , nnd was all purchased
prior to Iho ofllcial nolico of April 7 awardIng -
Ing tbo contract to Raymond Brothers , except
thrco Items amounting to $1 and some cents ,
says the Item of f. > 0 for the preacher is
iMilar , as there Is an appropriation of 1,500
foptho music and amusement fund , In which
fund clerical service is embraced. The in
ventory was ordered by Dr. Test and Dr.
Johnson. Dr. Test felt that , Inasmuch as a
democrat was about to assume charge , ho
wanted the Inventory tnkon by disinterested
parties. Slate Treasurer Hill of Iho old
board Is the only member of the now board
who Is tamlllar with the affairs of the Hast
ings asylum , the full board having
repeatedly agreed to visit the insti
tution , but has never been on
the giound to oven olTer instructions.
Loveringhouso says ho labors under serious
disadvantage In purchasing goods of firms
doing business outsldo of Hastings , as they
too frequently impose upon the state , the
s to ward being unahlu to inspect tlio goods
before being shipped. As an illustration ,
Raymond Brothers of Lincoln , who have
been awarded the contract for supplies for
'
this ( iiinrter , furnished 00 barrel's of oat
meal billed at " 00 | > ounds per barrel. The
steward says ho found n shortage in every
barrel of from fifteen to twenty pounds. In
ferior goods are also frequently snnt. Ho
says ho has never had any trouble with Hast
ings dealers as to weights and measures , and
in conclusion said that If the board would
consent to show up tlio correspondence be
tween them the charcc of sending disrespect
ful nnd insulting letters to the board would
not be sustained and he would bo placed In a
moru liivorable ntliludo before the people.
Dr. Test , Iho superintendent , your corre
spondent Is assured will pay his respects per
sonally to the board next week.
The friends of Hon. D. Al. McElhlnnoy , a
stockholder of the Nebraska Loan and Trust
company , and contractor of considerable

\Vi'e 'i a Train Near ConNtan-
tlnoplc anil Ciiptmib PasHenijers.
CossiTANTixoi'i.i : , June \ A party of brig
ands near Tchereskci yesterday placed ob
structions across the railroad track and suc
ceeded in derailing the eastern express. When
the brigands had thus brought the train
to a standstill they found that there
were several German unU English tourists
among the passengers. * Onu of them was a
Berlin banker. The brigands have demanded
§ 10,000 as ransom for the c'aptivcs and Chan
cellor von Caprlvi has telegraphed to Ilorr
von liadowitz. the Cicrmin ambassador here ,
authorizing him to advance the amount. The
remaining passengers were despoiled of their
belongings and were left ulo'ne.
The place whore the act of the brigands
occurred is between tqis city and Adrianople.
The band which made thu attack on the train
numbered thirty menj led by the
noted robber , Anastashv. The brgands
first seized the watchman on duty
ut the railroad station , and when
they had prevented him from eiving an
alarm , they sot to work and torn the rails up
for some distance. They set no warning sig
nal for the engineer of the train , but allowed
the cars to dash on to possible destruction.
When tne eastern express reached the spot
the engine tumbled over e'n.Us side , dragging
over with it the tender , a bacgagocar and all
the third class passenger cohches. The lirst
class passenger cars , lucidly , did not follow
tno other part of tb'c tram , but remained
safely en ttm road. 'r
Whou thq train was Yu : ? disabled "tho
brigands rushed forward , irftorlng loud yells
and brandishing their gunf. in most threat
ening manner , ami boardol the cars. Several
passougers resisted the attack inndo on them
by the brigands , who replied with a volley
from their guns auu dangerously wounded
one of the men who bought to repel them.
The outlaws finally overcame the occupants
of the cars and proceeded to plunder them ,
stripping the travelers of all their valua
bles and looting their baggage. When the
brigands ended their worjc of robbery they
seized four of the passengers in ttio ilrst-
class cars , also the engineer of the train , and
then started with their captives for their
rendcsvous in the mountains.
The men carried away by the outlaws wore
Oscar Grogor , Herr Israil , a banker of Ber
lin ; Herr Aliiquut. a land owner of Siogeibar ,
Bavaria ; Ucrr Oscar IColvsc of Sorbig , Prus
sian Saxony , and Froundigor , the engineer of
the eastern express.
Upon reaching their retreat the bandits
sent Herr Israel to got the ransom of $ IOOUJ
which they demanded for the release of thn
prisoners. Herr Von Kudqwitz claims that
the porto will refund this ; ' money.

LONDON- , Juno 1. The famous bacoarat
scandal trial commenced today before Lord
ColorHeo , chief Justice. The court room was
tilled with fashionable people. Solicitor
Cicnoral Clarke opened the case for the
plaintiff. Ho said It Was his duty to put the
prince of Wales and ( iencral Williams In
the witness box and their testimony would
satisfy the jury that they saw nothing wrong
on the part of dimming.
At the conclusion of an eloquent appeal to
the Jury by Clark on behalf of his client ,
Sir William Gordon Cummlng was called
to. Iho witness box. Plaintiff said
the prlnco of Wales acted us
banker upon the occasions referred to
and thut Cioneral Williams was croupier.
Ho then related how charges had boon
made against him of foul play and how ho
had appealed to Lord Coventry and General
Williams as friends to tfll him what to do.
After an Interview with his two friends
plaintiff said ho saw the prince of Willis ,
to whom ho repudiated the charge brought
against him. To this , according to plaintiff ,
the prince replied : "What can you def There
are five accusers.1 Continuing , Sir William
said that half an hour after his interview
with the prince he was summoned to another
room , where ho found Coventry and WillIs -
Is ms. who told him that the only way to
axolJ a "horrible scandal" was to sign
the document which had already
been produced and read in court.
Plaintiff suid that although It was tanta
mount to tin admission of guilt ho was per
suaded to sign it , bollovlng ho could trust
his honor to Coventry. Ciimmings concluded
his testimony with a solemn denial that ho
over cheated cards at Tranbycroft or any
where else.
The plaintiff said bo hud no reason to sus
pect malice upon the part of any of the de
fendants.
Sir Charles then carelessly glanced at a
paper and turning round townd Iho plaintiff ,
who had evidently nerved himself to face Sir
Charles first continued , "and does this express -
press your opinion i" reading , "The worst of
it is that I feel that they are acting perfectly
conscientiously in the matter and as if they
believed that they did see mo resort to foul
plav. "
' Pardon me , " cried Sir William , quickly
drawing himself up. his eyes sparkling and
his whole manner denoting considerable ex
citement , "aro you reading any loiter ot
minol"
Sir Charles replied , "Yes , uoes it express
your feelings i"
"Yes , " replied the plaintiff sharply.
Then Sir William , under cross-examina
tion explained at length several points in re
gard to the baccarat playinir. He also said
that ho had nothing before him on the lablo
while playing baccarat on the evenings of
September 8 and U at 'J'ranbyeroft except a
small piece of- paper and : i pencil , and possi
bly a. 'tumbler. ' The 'stakes , ho continued ,
werp'placed fewinches-ln front1 of him.
Th'o'wltncsj himself suggested putting the
stakes on a piece of paper. This was owlnir
to the peculiar construction of the whist
table , which was used for the b.iccurat play
ing. This , the baronet added , facilitated
"hacd " and afforded the banker
nj up" an op
portunity or readily seeing the stakes. The
supgoition was carried out upon several oo-
casions , but not all through Ihe games.
Sir Charles Russell then asked Ihe plaintiff
a numuor of queslions bearing upon various
points in the case and cleverly sought lo ob-
lain aa admission that the baronet increased
his stakes when ho won , and from tlio ques
tions put It was evident that the plaintiff
would bo accUBcd of so doing after seeing the
cards of his neighbors.
Beplylug to questions put by the leading
counsel for the defendants Sir Edward said
that Lerd Edward Somerset and Lord Cov
entry increased their stakes and that tho.v
also kept counters in their hands as well ns
on Iho stake tablo. The plaintiff said that on
Iho second nlghl of Iho baccarat games at
Tranbycroft Iho prlnco of Wales said , "I
wish lhat pcoplo would put their stakes
where they could bo ' soon , " hut
plaintiff added that ho did pot
think this applied to him nitre
man lo anyone else. The baronet also ad-
ii.itted that he kept a number of counters in
his pocket. Ho did not iuk * to bo confronted
with accusers. It w.n folly on hU part , ho
admitted , but ho did many foolish things
that uvening. When a man-was in his posi
tion , ho added , ho was not responsible for his
actions. When he had a pistol presented at
him in the form of this most terrltilo charge
ho lost , his head. In reply lo further ques
tions put by Sir Charles Russell thti plaintiff
said Hint he did not recollect General Will
iams saying that the duke of Cambridge
would not bo so lenient as they had boon. Ho
( Iho plaintiff ) had never ceased to regret
that ho had signed the document
agreeing never to play cards agalu. The
baronet admitted that within twenty-four
hours nfter signing this document he re
ceived u letter from Lord Coventry and
General Williams saying that there was no
possibility of doing olln rwiso than to believe
him guilty , ns there were live people against
olio. Ho ( Sir William Gordon Cnmmlngs )
signed the document In question because his
friends ndvUcd him that he had no clmnco to
prove his Innocence , as there were live
against him , and In order to avoU n scandal
which would necessarily Involve Iho prince
of Wales , The plalnlilT added thut If
General Williams and Lord Coventry had
glvei : him any indication that they had a be
lief in his guilt ho would not have signed the
document presented to him.
Sir Charles Russell nt Ihls stage of Iho pro
ceedings load u loiter which Sir William Gor
don Cummlngs had handed to General Will-
lams before leaving Tranbycroft , In which
the baronet said ho hoped that General Will
iams would tell the prlnco of Wales that ho
( Sir William ) had boon entirely guided bv
Iho ad vice given him by Iho prince , Loril
Coventry and General Williams ( though ho
denied the allegations made'against him ) , as
it was essential lo avoid n scandal. In this
loiter Sir William also said that ho should
never touch another card , mid ho expressed
the wish lhat his winnings bo t'lvon to some
hospital ,
Answering another question put to him by
Sir Charles Russell , the plaintiff said that ho
had received a memorandum , signed by the
prlnco of Wales and uy Lord Coventry and
General Williams , saying that the signer of
the memorandum did not desire to bo un-
ncc'jssarlly heard , but he ( Sir William ) was
to.clearly understand that In the fncoof
overwhelming evidence pre < outed it was use
less lo aitempt to deny the accusation agulnst
him , and that so long as ho compiled with
Urn conditions t > ot forth in the document ho
( the plaintiff ) had signed silence would be
maintained.
The court soon after was adjourned until
tomorrow.
The prlnco of Wales was present through
out the proceedings and scorned to take con
siderable Interest lit the tcsllinony given by
Iho pluinlilf.

DrTiiotT , Alien. , Juno I. At the Presbyte
rian general assembly this morning iho sub
ject of Uio young people's society , which
came up on overture , was tnkon up. There
was u lively discussion as to the liability of
the Christian Endeavor Society becoming lee
Independent. Tbo special object of the reso
lutions discussed seemed to bo the formation
of Wcstmlnslor leagues to take Iho place of
the Young People's Society of Christian En
deavor.
Eider Shcpard of Philadelphia nnd others
took part In the discussion , saying the Chris
tian Endeavor movement was direct from
God nnd they should beware of aningcnlilng
It or attempting to restrict It within rigid ec
clesiastical lines.
Dr. MclClbben thoiieht the "iron-clad"
pledge to take part In prayer meetings and
attend the monthly consecration ineolliig es
tablished lines lhat should systematically ex
clude some chinches. He charged tliat'Unl-
verbalist and Unitarian societies were now in
full fellowship.
After some further talk of the subject the
entire report was adopted with the resolution
for a standing commltleo on thu subject
struck out.
The publication board matter came up.
Air. Slmmans exonerated the board and Its
employes from any blame ns to the unwise
and wasteful method unearthed at Phila
delphia , but said they did notThnow all they
should kuow In order to manage sucli a vast
business. The committee recommended that

Opinion Concerning the Ri ht. of
Dower hi \ \ yoniln .
Cucrcxxi : , Wyo. , Juno 1. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB Bui.j An extremely inter
esting opinion was tendered today in thu supreme
premo court by Chief Justice Graesbock , Iho
other members concurring. It decides ad
versely the question of right of dower. This
afllrms the decision of tno lower
court rendered by Judge Corn. Airs.
France was Iho wife of the
well known Rawllns banker , James Franco.
The latter failed In business an 1 subse
quently died. All his property had boon
placed in the hands , of assignees for the ben-
oflt of creditors , and tbo assignees Airs.
Franco sued to recover a dower
right lu the real citato , Tbo
court holds that the section
of thq Edmunds-Tucker .eongrosstonnl * . net
conferring the right of dower on married
women refers to Utah ; second , that there
was no repeal or any law of any territory re
lating to dower as is the usual courao of con
gressional legislation whllo annulling or dis
posing of an act of n territorial
legislation ; third , lhat at the time the Ed
munds-Tucker act became n law there were
lu Washington , Idaho , Arizona nnd Now
AIoxlco community property laws which gave
the wife and widow greater rights than these
of dower , and that In the other terrilorios
under the laws of descent and succession the
widow of an intestate received a greater
share of her husband's estalo than at the
common law which conferred dower , and
that congress never Intended lo upset those
laws and confer n lesser right , or to i.dd to
the right of married women in these terri
tories , and of all terrllories Ihen existing
Montana alone recognized dower ; fourth ,
that the construction In all territories except
Alontiiim has been that thn dower section has
been Ignored and they have not changed
their system of laws to conform to the
Edmunds-Tucker law conferring dower. Tills
overrules u Montana decision on the same
subject.
