J.ho results of the conference of the social

gcareful attention.
I KovliliiR the Constitution.
I Dr. B. L. Paine , chairman of the special
B committee appointed to revise the consttuj |
6 lion , reported the results of the effort. } A
i number of Important changes were made in
3 Iho constitution anil some interesting dls-
Scusslon took placo. The tendency
IDT the Methodist church toward
Eo. more complete laity control was illustrated
fin a vigorous discussion that took place over
I on amendment to admit the pastors of all
I charges as delegates to the state convou-
I tlon. It was held by a number of the dele- ii
I Rates that the longuo was In dtngcr of being
B'lprlest'rldden" by allowing the preachers to
ido all the talking and "rcsoluting" at the
Qitato conventions. On the other hand It
viis claimed that ns the pastors were sup-
> osed to know moro than anybody else about
Rho work of the league they ought to bo
iguombers of the state conventions. It was
Ifrmally decided to make all regularly ISn
M'loyod ' pastors and presiding elders ox-ofllclo
Rlologatcs to the state conventions. Each :
Hjaguo will bo entitled to three lay delegates
lius giving the laymen n decided prepond-
B ranee of power in the conventions.
A spirited discussion arose over an effort
Hiaao to change tha time of holding the state
oiivcntion fiom Juno to October. It was
nally decided to permit the ofllcial board tc
ot the time for the statoronvcntlon , but the
Blmvcntlon must bo held during the months
ft' May or Juno.
1 Entertainment for Delegate * .
RQV , Frank Crane introduced a resolution
I make it the rule of the state league thai
VI the local leagues should pro
do entertainment for their own looh
Bv.tcs. Ho supported his motloi
9/ saying that the convention had become si
BMrgo that it had become n very serious mat
Blr n * to how so largo n body of delegate
But going to bo entertained. Ho wanted tin
I Krdcn moro ovcnly distributed. A numboi
Bj proiiilncnt delegates from the oxtrcnu
BXistcrn part of the stnto were very muct
Bj'poscd to this , because they held that dele
BB.tcs from the far wcit really bore tin
Biavy end of the burden In paying their rail
M > ad fnro to and from the convention. It wa
BMso stated that It would bo detrimental t
HBio work of the slito : convention of th
B9a uo to have the delegates crowded hit i
BS o hotels Instead of having them entei
BVitnod In the homes of citizens.

AFTER MR. KALEY.
ComiulftHlonors Ketuno to Reduce a 11 link's
Ansosisment Petition for Macndiim.
_ About the first thing that the county com-
tmlsslonors did when they mot yesterday
I 'afternoon was o put County Attorney Knloy
"
: upon the rock. Last July when the commis
sioners met as a board of equalization they
assessed the National Bank of Commerce
$79HS ! upon its capital stock , or f 10,000 moro
than was returned by Assessor Carpenter ,
the man who fixed the values in the Fourth
ward of the city. This happened ou July 14 ,
- the last day of the sitting of the Board of
Equalization , and the bank protested , urging
that the stock instead of bolng assessed
against the bank , should have been assessed
- against the individual stockholders.
Ex-County Attorney Mahoney was con
sulted and after mature consideration of the
, subject advised that the assessment was
- legal and that It would stand the test If one
should be mado. Suit was brought and the
matter Is now In the courts. Yesterday Mr.
Kalek was on hand with n confession of judg
ment In which he asked that the commis
sioners throw off the $40,000 and accept the
10 tax on tlio J3,343 ! ) , the original amount re
turned by the assessor. Every member of
the board expressed surprise that the attor
ney should maintain such a position without
llrst testing the question in the courts. The
upshot of the whole matter was that the
311at communication of the attorney was handed
ate over to a committee with instructions to
lo- submit to no scaling down of values until
the court had decided that the assessment
so was Illegal and void.

Soldltn on Trial In the
Federal Court.
Elijah Hlgglns , the assistant cashtor of
the defunct Dorscy bank at Ponca Is
hustling for a (5,000 bond to guaran
tee his appearance when wanted to answer
to the charge of falsifying the books of the
Institution. Information as to what the
outlook Is around the ofllco of the United
States marshal Is scarcer thau genuine
Christian charity.
It is stated that Cashier frank Dor-
soy , who was Jointly Indicted with
Hlgglns , Is out of the stato.
Why or whercfor no ono scorns to know , al
though there is n report to the effect that his
wife was very 111 and ho started o\stwlth
her about ten days ago. Inquiries as to what
li being done in the matter elicit the stereo-
"typed answer , "Don't know , " and the case
In many of its features is a repetition of that
in which Charles W. Moshor played the
stellar role.
It is stated that Hlgglns was innocently
made a tool by ono higher in authority than
ho , and when Dorsoy'a responsibility is
brought up , it la sought to shield him by the
statement that ho may not have profited by
the falsifying of the books , and that unless
ho did thus personalty profit his guilt is of a
lessor degree and partakes of the nature of
an ofTcnso rather than of a crime.
Hlgglns expects to be able to furnish a
bond , but that Individual himself is kept out
of sight , and no information Is given out as
to whore ho is or what deputy Is guarding
him "in the custody of tlio marshal. "
Didn't Try to Kilt Him.
Frederick Brown , a private from Port
Robinson , was brought in yesterday by a
deputy United States marshal to bo placed
on trial in the federal court for attempting
to kill a follow soldier by the name of
Warner , whoso neck ho laid open with
a razor , from the spinal column
to the windplpo. While coming In with the
officer ho casually remarked , "Wah. I didn't
try tor kill dat nigger , or I'd n-linlshea Mm

Testimony In u Murder Trial.
The prosecution rested its case yesterday
in federal court in the case of the United
States against Ilurwoll Baxter , charged with
the killing of Private West at Fort Nio-
brara. The defendant was then placed on
the Htand In his own defense and repeated
the story of his trouble with the deceased
and what ho knew of West's death.
A legal battle was waged over the admis
sion of the anto-mortem statement of West ,
and it was finally rejected for the reason
that there was nothing to show that at the
time of making it the deceased believed
that ho was going to dlo. The case will not
bo submitted to the Jury before Monday
afternoon.

DBR : I had business In London In 1873-74
and was present at three sessions of the
second Tlchborno trial , which lasted sometime -
time over a hundred days , resulting m the
conviction of the Claimant for perjury. The
revival of interest in this celebrated case
the past day or two , caused by the
published cablegram to the effect that the
fa to of the true Sir Roger Tichborno has
at last been learned to have been death from
natural causes at Gcclong , N. S. W. , In 1851 ,
brings to mind a rouiarkablo explanation
which was given whllo in London by a sailor
Just arrived from Australia as to the identity
of the claimant , and which has never yet ap
peared In print.
1 have occasionally In the past twenty years
thought of writing out this seaman's story of
his early acquaintance with the claimant
In * Australia , since U has always
seemed to mo as probably true , and
not unlikely to solve the long kept mystery
surrounding ono of the most , if not itself the
most , celebrated case in criminal history. I
have frequently ; old it to friends. Thcro is
no hotter place to publish this story than lu
the columns of Tin ; Bin : .
Ono of the persons to whom I took letters
of Introduction when going to London was un
eminent lawyer of that city , a bar
rister of Gray's Inn , who resided In
Bayswatcr , n stiburo In the West End.
Among his acquaintances was Dr. Kcn-
ncaly , the loading counsel for the claimant ,
whom 1 once met coming out of his house. I
was then a young man of 20 and had lodg
ings on the south sldo of the city. On the
way to my friend's house latoono afternoon
during the trial I found in the street , out-
sldo the court room where the trial was
being held , the usual mob of people hustling
to get a glimpse of the Claimant and the
famous lawyers and witnesses In the case
as they came out at the close of the session
for the day. It was a hard crowd to
pass throueh , filling Westminster street and
spreading into Parliament street. Tlio ses-
sian had not .vet closed , but I could not wait.
Travel at that point was for the hour en
tirely stopped. Fortunately , another man
was going in the same dlrpctipn as I was , a
thick-set , sun-tanned , vigorous-looking man ,
who was evidently determined to push his
way through , and I gladly fell'ln and pushed
behind him , much to his satisfaction , us well
as my own. '
When wo had got through the crowd , and
ho stopped to wipe his bald front ,
ho asked mo to tell -Dim the way
to Paddington station.where ho
had some luggage to look after , as
ho had Just come In from sea , and uiy route
to Bayswatcr lying past the station , my
suggestion that ho keep along with mo
seemed to igivo him much pleasure , so wo
struck across through the graveled walks of
St. James' park.
"When I mot you , my lad , I had Just como
out from trying to have a talk with the at
torney general about that Tichborno claim
ant , " ho said the moment wo were started
upon our tramp of some two or three miles.
"What can you know about the Claimant ? "
I asked.
"Kuowcd him in Australia thcso sovcn
years. Used to bo mate to his brother , a
sea captain , " ho replied. Then ho told mo
In substance the following story , from which
I omit only the larger part of the English
seaman's brogue :
"Just como up from Falmouth today , " ho
went on ; "got into port only day before
yesterday , and saw this hero Claimant's
pictures in a shop window and wont in and
bought one. Iknowed him right nt sight , both
face andliguro. Golr.g after pretty big fishing
ho is , thinks f , when the stationer told mo
what they hud his photographs in the windows
dews for. So I took the picture over and
showed it to my old captain's widow ( for I
am captain of the ship now and always call
on her when I'm ashore" nice woman Is the
captain's widow always was ) , and she says
that she knew about it , too , but didn't wuut
to Interfere , though it made her cry to think
of what a rascal her husband's biggest
brother was. But I told her I was going to
lot the government know Just who ho was ,
and that they wcro mistaken in thinking
that ho was Arthur Orton , and so I came up
to London. But the attorney general won't
hear to me , though they asked mo a lot of
questions and 1 am to see them again to
morrow. "
"But where did you know the Claimant ? "
"In Australia. You see , our vessel sailed
between Falmouth and ports in Australia.
His oldest brother there wore three of
them was captain and I was mate. When wo
touched at a certain place in Australia this
blfj , fat ono. who Is the Claimant , used to
como aboard and stay for days visiting. On
the last visit there was a smaller ono with
him. The big ono , as wo called him , was
Urnssod as a cattleman , with big boots and a
whip , but the other ono was smaller and
moro UUo a gentleman , and the captain's
- wife told mo ho hail been In the army lu
Ireland. I saw both of them today in court ,
looking as natural as Hfn , only today the \ilg \
ono was dressed llko a gentleman , too , "
"That military man who was In the same
regiment with the Tichborno hotr In Ireland
Is the Claimant's strongest witness , and
recognizes him not only by his looks , but by
- the Claimant's recollection of incidents
which occurred during tholr army Hfo to
gether , " I said. u
"So well ho might , " ropHod the honest
- tar , "for it is plain to mo uuii. , hls slster-ln-
law that ho is the ono that told these inci
. dents to the Claimant. Tha'tlmo they came
aboard together they locked 'themselves ' up
with the captain till ) lafo into the
- night , and the captain's wlfo and
I were wondering what thov were
having so much secrecy1 ; "about. And
- once in a while they would .como out for a
few minutes to wallc up aiid'dAwn the dock ,
and then the captain would como and call
mo Into the cabin and get down ou his kncus
and mo with him , and taku hlg drink of
. todtly , and then pray until they would como
- in again and I would got up , aim go out.
? " 1 and his wlfo knowcd us the captain waa
all worked up about something , because he
was it pious man , was th6 captain , and he
would always cet drunk'n'uft pray when he
. wao In trouble , aud "most always would wan !
mo with him. Hut ho nuvor told his Wlfu r.oi
mo what his trouble ou that tUy was , hut
nt wo could overhear the sound of their voices
and Inferred that they were trying to gel
him to agrco to something as ho was against.
- Ho was never the same man after that until
ho died , acting as If ho had something on hh
conscience llko. Ho didn't 11 vo many months
His wlfo says she is sure that on that daj
they persuaded him to give them money U
op boclt up the big ono in the claim for the cs
, tate of the missing Sir IWger Tichborno
- Shu and I think that the big brother , thli
claimant , was with young Sir Itoge :
when ho died , perhaps in Australia
is and la that way learned of hi :
family and his estates , and that when thi
army brother vlsltod him they told the !
stories of Sir Uoger to cacti other anil so hi
upon the thought of making this claim fo
his tttlo and property. "
The sailor added as wo walked along tha
. ho did not wonder that the Claimant an
his army brother were acquainted wilt * th

BOHEMIAN GIRL FMytt
y Ni6t , ,
French languaRC , aa their father , he under
stood , was n physician In the Belgian army.
Ho also said ihat the late captain's widow ,
as well ns hlmsolf , was ready to BO Into
court and swear that the claimant was
her brother-in-law , and that she had letters
which hu had written to her husband with
which to prove his handwriting , of xvhich
the government had specimens ; also a
photograph of himself which ho had given
her husband only two years before , which
seomoA Identical with the photos of the
Claimant. My Informant had this photo
graph m his poclcot , together with ono of the
Claimant , both of which ho showed mo , as
ho had shown thorn to the law ofllccrs of the
crown that afternoon. Ttieso two willing
witnesses , ho told inc. had compared dates
and found that the big brother had (
just enough time to got to England
and begin proceedings to cot jwssession of
the Tichborno estate ? between the date of
the auovo described Interview nnd the time
when the Claimant's suit did begin , which
was about a year prior to the holding of the
second Tiohborno trial , In which ho was
convicted of perjury as being a former Lon
don butcher named Arthur Orton.
Parting from the captain at Paddington
station , I wont on to the residence of my
legal friend and told him the story In detail.
The learned gentleman assured mo that the
government , having a hundred witnesses to
provo that the Claimant was Arthur
Orton , and the present trial hav
ing already ns good as done so ,
would not now turn aside to attempt to
try to provo him to bo somebody else by
only two witnesses , no matter though their
testimony was true , siriro the counsel for the
Claimant had found scores of person1) , many
of them people of prominence , to swear that
ho was Sir Uoper Tichborno. Hut ho thought
that the story of thcso two Indignantly hon
est witnesses , taken together with the com
parison of photographs and specimens of
writing , had a closer resemblance to the
truth than the labored case presented by
the government to show that the Claimant
was Arthur Or'.on. The government , It will
bo remembered , could never account lor
the great and notorious Inconsistency of so
rude a man as the Wapplng butcher , Orton ,
a man of low family for generations , having
such beautifully formed and small hands as
the claimant had , nnd which , by direction
of his counsel , ho dally for months exhibited
before him upon the tublo nt which ho sat
In court. Perhaps not ono of the many
thousands of people who thus saw these
ladylike hands over thoroughly believed
that they were evolved from a race of Eng
lish butchers , though disbelieving that their
owner was the true heir. Uut It Is
plain that they might belong to the son
of nn Kngllsh physician who was
professionally enjoyed in nn army corps on
, the continent. The story narrated nlm-o
would also explain another thing which wus
much commented upon In England , namely ,
the generous and unwavering friendship
manifested for the prisoner by a rortaln milItary -
Itary oflicer who had been in the same com
pany with the true Tichborno heir In Ire
land , prior to the young nobleman's mysteri
ous disappearance.
I never heard of my aoa-foarng ! friend or
his story again , nnd in a few weeks after
wards the perjury trial came at last to an
end and the accused was sentenced to. 1 bo-
. hove , fourteen years Imprisonment. Ho was
several years ago set free and Is still living
In England , There was talk at the last gen
eral election ot sending him to Parliament ,
In which body , as constituted during his two
trials , ho had many staunch friends who bo-
lloved him to bo Sir Kogor Tichborno , and
once or twlco discussed his case In tha
House. T. F. B.
