Louisville.
at
I LADIES ARE STILL IN. SESSION
iRenort of the Committee on rension
-
Which Vu Adopted. 1. 8lmllr
to That of Last Year.
Louisville, Sept. Is. So far as the
YeteranB are concerned the 29th annual
encamriment closed tonieht with so
I many attractions as on the other nights
of the week. The ladies, however, will
continue in session tomorrow. Today
there were over 7000 at the old Kentucky
barbecue and tonight campfires were
largely attended with the principal
events at Music ball, rncenix urn gar
den and National Park. Among the
speakers were : ' '
Generals Gordon t Buckner, J. W,
Burke and C. M. Clay, Senator Burrows,
Colonel Wickersham, Samuel McKee,
H. C. Ruseel and John H. Leathers.
The veterans are going to other army
events farther south and to the Atlanta
exposition.
Resolutions were adopted at the na
tional encampment declaring it to be the
sense of that bodv that all old veterans
should be favored by civil service boards ;
that such boards should not discriminate
against thoBe heroes of the rebellion on
account of age. Another matter ot in
terest was the adoption of a resolution
favoring the placing of flags on every
public school building and the introduc
tion of military drill in the public school
curriculum.
There was an adverse report made on
the resolution favoring the establish
ment of a national university of patrio
tism and the report was adopted,
.The camp' further declared itself
against the long parades and marches of
encampments in the future. This was
brought about on account of the large
number of veterans, who are becoming
too feeble to endure them. It was also
K decided that a epecial celebration should
be held" on the next anniversary of the
establishing of the first Grand Army
poet. Resolutions were next adopted
asking congress to make an annual ap
propriation to defray the expenses of
conducting Memorial day services in
national cemeteries.
Independence hall will be the perma
nent depository of all the books, records
and relics of the Grand Army. Fast
Commander Wagner, of Pennsylvania,
offered the famous old building in the
name of the people of Philadelphia at
the encampment this afternoon and it
was accepted. An effort was made to
abolish the "house of lords" at all future
encampments. ' By this all past-com
'manders-in-cbief would lose their right
to seats in future encampments. The
proposition created a lively discussion,
but was defeated.
A Fire In a Newspaper Office.
, New York, Sept. 13. -This morning's
World was probably the only regular is
sue of the newspaper which' contained
not a line of advertising. . Flooding the
pressroom on account of fire reduced the
, press capacity so that it was impossible
to print only eight pages, and eight solid
pages of advertisements were thrown
.away rather than to cut the news.' In
spite of delays during the fire, itself, and
consequent upon it, which included the
stopping of all typesetting machines by
cutting of the gas, the paper went to
press on time. The World lis receiving
from newspapers throughout the coun
try expressions of regret at its loss. It
expresses gratitude for the cordial inter
est manifested, assuring its friends no
serious damage has been done, owing to
- the fireproof nature of the building. -
It was stated in the office of the World
today that about 100 tons or paper
were damaged by last night s lire, and
tbat the total loss was estimated . at $3-
000. The fire started in the paper-room
from an electric wire. .
-Engineer to Blame for the JMelby Kall-
. road Accident.
St. Cloud, Minn., Sept. 13. The ver
dict by the coroner's jury in, the Mel by
railroad accident was as follows:
' "We find the direct cause of the acci
dent is to be laid to Engineer Haines, in
acting on wrong orders; we further
blame .the company for .ordering:.. the
passenger trains to meet at a blind sid
ing, where there is no agent, and where
no lights are kept; 'also for allowing
- conductors to send two orders to the
engineer, when oue is needed." . .

It was learned today that President
Cleveland has determined to offer to
William Hornblower, of New -York, the
place of the' supreme bench left vacant
by the death of Justice Jackson. The

with Mr. Hornblower,- and he is willing
to accept the appointment, provided
there can be no doubt of his confirma
tion bv the senate. It is well known
that Senater. Hill will make no objection
to the confirmation, and that apparently
leaves hta chance good for the nomin
ation. The- president's admiration of
Mr. Hornblower is well known, and his
was the first name the president thought
of after Justice Jackson's death.

Sailing Dlrectlona.
San Fbancisco, Sept. 16. At last
Thursday's session of the supreme court,
where Theodore Dun-ant id on trial,
when the court adjourned nntil this
morn i eg, Mrs. Alice Dorgan was on the
stand undergoing cross-examination by
the defense. Since then the witness
mother has died, and, as the funeral is
today her testimony was deferred jn the
meantime and another school friend of
Blanche Lamont was placed on ' the
stand by the prosecution in the person
of Miss May Lanigan. ' ' ' - ,
She testified that she knew Mrs. Dor
gan and Blanche Lamont. She had last
seen Blanche on April 3. She left school
with Miss Pleasant, now Mrs. Dorgan,
a lew minutes after 3 on tne afternoon
of April 3. They walked np Powell to
California street, two blocks. She. saw
Blanche Lamont on the east side of
the'Powell -street dummy going toward
Market. Blanche was accom pained by
a young, man, whom she identified as
Durrant. She was particularly impressed
by this, because the-rules of the school
discountenanced girls going to and from
school with young men. . She described
Currant's - costume minutely on that
occasion.-
On cross-examination the defense tried
to show that the identification of Dur
rant was imperfect because the witness
could not eee all of bis face as be sat on
the car. The witness eaid she could see
his face from the nose down, aud was
positive in her identification.
Then followed a number of questions
in the same strain, all put with the pur
pose of getting . the witness to acknow
ledge she was not in a position to make
a positive identification of Durrant at
at that time and place. Miss Lanigan,
however, said she recognized him un
mistakably, from many characteristics,
particularly his long hair and light mus
tache. Under questions of the defense
the witness fold how she had gone to tbeJ
city prison to see if the prisoner who
had just been arrested was' the same
man whom she saw with Blanche. The
detectives had told her to identify the
young man if she recognized him, if not
to say nothing at all.. -
, Durrant was then brought into the
room of . the chief of police, and witness
had positively recognized bim. Through
a long series of questions . defense tried
to shake the witness' identification, but
she was firm In her opinion and was a
good witness for the prosecution..
C. A. Stevens, a . gripman on the
Powell-street cable line, knew nothing
material, and was not' cross-examined.
; Mrs. Mary Vogel.I the. next witness,
was asked by the district attorney:
"Which of theee persons present is the
defendant?" . - -
v "That young man sitting tnere," un
hesitatingly replied the witness.
' Judge Murphy wanted more positive
identification.. Amid great excitement
the witness . left the stand, walked to
where Durrant was sitting, and, touchi
ing him on the shoulder, eaid : "Here
he is; that's the man.". '
Durrant was the only man in the
court-room who showed no signs of ex
citement. Throughout the -scrutiny of
the witness he Eat in perfect apparent
calmness, -although, now the case has
every day a more eerious aspect, he holds
no more bumorons1 conversations with
his parents. Mrs. Vogel then told how,
from her window, she watched Theodore
Durrant walking up and down in. front
of he Normal school. He began his
waiting at seven minutes past two, and
remained nntil school was out, at 3. -
She was suepiciousot his appearance
and iatentions and watched him through
her opera-glaeses. When school was
over two girls came out. Durrant ap
proached them, lifting his hat.' All
three boarded ' the Powell-street car
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
going toward Market street. One girl
went ineide the car, and one, with Dur
rant, sat on the duocmy. She told her
husband of the young man's conduct.
She afterwards recognized the prisoner's
picture in the papers when he was ar
rested. Mrs. Vogel was very indignant
under cro?s-exauiiiiation considering
any doubt cast upon her testimony as a .
personal insult.' Defense gained nothing .
by the cross-examination. - She was
positive beyond doubt that the prison- .
er whs. the.. man she had seen going off
with a girl dressed as was. Blanche La
mont on the last afternoon she was seen
alive. The court here took a recess till
2 o'clock. " . .'.
