The Times-Mountaineer
SATURDAY,
..FEBRUARY 23. 1895
Tha Portland -Situ has a mission to
perform, and that is to plaoe Oregon
in the list of free-silver Btates. It
considers itself equal to the emer-
-1 .1 1 .L 1 .t ri A
gency, ana aireauy vus eiipa ui
feated opponents dangle from its
) '. robes. The Sun is the Napoleon of
reform, and through its efforts pluto
crats, gold-bugs and those who favor
the established system of finance will
br obliterated from .the face of this
fair state which it considers its baili
wick. Unlike Don Quixote, it has
' demolished several windmills, and has
fa more to destroy. When its
mission is accomplished the political
- atmosphere of Oregon will be free
from all malaria, and this will be the
paradise for Govs. Waite and Llew-
elling, for Gen. Ooxey and his numer
ous lieutenants and their hordes.
Still it claims to lean toward ReDur-
licaniaoi. and to ' accomplis ball this
. clothed and clad in the proper habili
uienta of the party. It has not
been -completely successful yet in all
its endeavor; but there is plenty of
. time, and its readers should be patient
and "wait and In yesterday's
issue it said:
"There are three Dolph organs in
the state. These are the Portland Or
oonian. The Dalles Times-Mount
aineer and the Pendleton Tribune.
The first two' the Sun has met,
noticed and answered. The third we
desire to quote from. We win give
its own language."
Then follows a short paragraph from
the Tribune, in which it says that the
Populists are honest in their avowed
hatred of Mr. Dolph, and are justified
in using every mean to defeat him,
- because he is "diametrically opposed to
everything that the adherents of Popu
lism favor." The quoted article fur
ther states th.t Mr. Dolph "is opposed
to every foreign fad that the Henry
George single-taxpayers and Populists
of this state advocate. . tie is a
thorough American and has the te
merity to raise his voice in opposition
to all new notions either favored or
A..A V Ik. nA.MtvitM.Von ttnrl
km - j - J r J . . . - -
barbaric countries,"
This is a windmill that the Sun most
demolish, aiid, according to its tactics
it is easily done; but these "taodca" are
very Quixotic. In the first place, it
' says the Populists are not running thi?
state, but that the Republican party is
in power in every branch of the gov
ernment. We considered this true
last Jane, and were sot willing to
acknowledge that we were mistaken
until the action of the free-silver bolt
era forced us to a different conclusion.
If the Sun is correct in its statements
in other Articles in the same paper
from which we have quoted.if an eleo
tion were held tomorrow the Populists
would carry the state by a rousing
majority on the issue of unlimited
coinage of silver.
Again, it says, that Mr. Dolph is
not American because he is in favor
of the "English fad of a single gold
standard." Then the American con
gress is not American, neither is Pres
. ident Cleveland, nor the majority of
the members of the two great leading
parties in the country. Silver was
demonetized in 1873, and for over
twpntv Tears the government of the
. j . -United
States has been following an
"English fad." This fact was not as
certained until 1891, and the honor of
the discovery must be accorded to the
Portland Sun.
Another discovery that the editor
of the Sun has made is that the people
. of the United States will not pay in
"gold" what tbey agreed to pay in
coin." This is something wonderful,
for the bonds of the government have
. always been redeemed in gold.
What a saving it would have been to
the treasury if the "English fad" had
- not been followed by all administra
tions since Lincoln, and the securities
of the nation baa been redeemed in
silver or greenbacks. There would
N have been millions in it if the
knowledge had only come., twenty
years sooner. This $100,000,000 limit
to the treasury is an "English fad,"
and something should be done to
ahnliah the notion.
But the heaviest onslaught of the
Sun on the windmills is given in the
paragraph where it says that "the ma
jority of the Oregon legislature, true to
the United States, true to the west,
true to their instructions from the
people of Oregon, will not vote for Mr,
Dolph and his English 'fad.'" The
fact is there are eighteen Populists and
Democrats in the legislature, wba are
not in harmony with the Republicans
on any public measure, and are di
ametrically opposed to them in the
election of U. S. senator. The Re-
. publicans have seventy-two members
in both houses, and forty-two have
supported Mr. Dolph for re-election
on twenty-four ballots. In other
words the legislature .is largely
Republicans, and there is a strong
maturity of Republicans in favor
of re-electing the senior sen
ator. The majority should govern,
for they represent the voice of the
people. In the Oregon legislature,
Republicans rule, and in the election
of a U. 8. senator the members of the
dominant party should not consult
with or consider the preferences of
Democrat or Populists.
The three papers mentioned by the
Sun as "organs" of Mr. Dolph, do not
comprehend the full list. In fact,
nearly every Republican journal in the
elate have advocated his election, and
the exceptions are those that lean
toward Populism. There is not a
Democratic or Populist organ in Ore-
goo that is not doing everything possi
ble to keep the bolters in line in their
opposition to the election of Mr. Dolph,
and these aame organs fougnt the He
fBblican ticket last Jane with una
bated ardor. In its fight against the
majority of Republican legislators this
Napolean of reform may voice the sen
timents of the people; but it is that
portion that composed the Populist
party last summer, and not those who
voted at the polls for protection and
sound money. The Sun's mission will
not be complete until the state is
turned over to Democracy and Popu
lism, and from tha number of obstacles
it is encountering there appears little
indications of success. The force that
the Sun generates may propel wind
mills; but the same power cannot be
utilized to Ggbt themand no sensible per
son will make the attempt.
THE PEOPLE WANT DOLPH.
The East Oregonian, like the other
papers that are attempting to defeat
Mr, Dolph, are using every sophistry
known to demagogues to make the
people believe they do not want the
senior senator, and to accomplish this
are resorting to very qneetiocahle
means. In the last issue of the Pen
dleton paper, after quoting a para
graph from the Times-Mountaineer,
ii which it was stated that Mr. Dolph
was undoubtedly the choice of the
people for United States senator, and
had proved himself ou public ques
tions a statesman among statesmen,
the editor says:
"ilow any intelligent newspaper
man can express, in good frith, this
opinion of Mr. Dolph at the present
time, in the face of the overwhelmiucr
opinion to the contrary existing all
over Oregon among the people, regard
less of party, passes our comprehension.
Mr. Dolph is not wanted by the people,
they have ne confidence in him, tbey
do not think he has represented them
and for this reason he has not been re
elected, notwithstanding the strong
and united support of "the business
element" and "the machine" for him
Overwhelming public opinion against
him has had its effect at Salem."
- This statement is not trne, and,
further, we believe it simply an effort
to create a sentiment against Mr,
Dolph. Mr. Jackson knows that at
the election in Umatilla - county, as
well as in every oi her county in this
state, the name of Mr. Dolph' was
connected with Republican success,
and if he will refer back to his own
files be can find editorial references to
the fact that a victory for the Repub
lican ticket would insure the return
of Mr. Dolph to tie U. S. senate.
On this nnderstanding the Republi
can carried Umatilla county for the
first time in its history, and the East
Oregonian opposed the election of the
ticket beoause it was a victory for the
senior senator. The people do want
Mr. Dolph.and are satisfied with what
he has done for them and have perfect
confidence in him in the future. Of
course Populists and Democrats do not
desire to see Mr. Dolph returned to
the senate; but, with the exception of
a few free-silver Republicans.he is un
questionably the choice of a large
majority of the party. We believe
the editor of the East Oregonian know
this to be true, and bis very positive
assertions to the contrary is an at
tempt on his part to "bluff" down a
well known faot. This sort of soph
istry is often used by persons who are
confronted by unpleasant truths, which
tbey cannot combat except by dishon
est and unfair methods, and "bluff" is
the most available of these.
In another paragraph the editor goes
on in the same "bluffing" style and
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Hero-worship is not a commendable
feature in any people; but it is proper
and indicative of patriotism that re
spect should be shown great characters
in the history of every country. This
is particularly true in a government
w here the sovereign power rests in the
people; for these examples may create
a spirit of emulation which cannot re
snlt otherwise than in the firmer es
tablishment of free institutions and a
more steadfast devotion to the princi
ples which underlie the fabric of na
tionality.
In the world's history, perhaps, there
has been no man whose public life so
impressed itself upon the records of the
nation, and furnished such a noble ex
ample of citizenship as that of George
Washington. Exhibiting unblemished
and unselfish traits of character he has
been j'istly termed "first in war, first
in peace, and first in the hearts of
his countrymen." Taking command
of the continental armies when tbey
lacked organization and discipline, and
when they seemed powerless to cope in
battle with the veterans of the mother
country, he brought order out of chaos
led the patriots from victory to vie
tory until the new republic was ack
nowledged by Great Britain and a new
nation was ushered into existence. The
stories of the winter at Valley Forge,
of the victory at Trenton and other
successful battles of the Revolution are
well known to every American school
boy, and place George Washington in
he list of the great generals of the
age.
After peace was declared his man
agement of civil affairs during the
formative period of the governmen
displayed a discernment of results and
conservatism in harmoniously uniting
jarring elements that constitute the
highest elements of statesmanship.
The people he bad rescued trom mon
archical tyranny by his sword, by
sound couusel he united into a com
pact national form, which has with
stood the severest tests of more than a
century. The constitution was
drafted by other hinds; but the first
years of the existence of the United
States as a sovereign power were those
which tested the strength and adapta
bility of the new instrument, and it
was the rare and sound element of
statesmanship exhibited by President
Washington that saved the infant re
public from disruption and ruin. As
a general George Washington was the
peer of any of his age; as a stateman,
he bad no superiors, and as a citizen
he was truly and thoroughly in sym
pathy with the best interests of his
country.
Those who enjoy the legacy of free
dom, inherited from Revolutionary an
cestors, and those who have adopted
this country as their own, cannot pay
too high respect to him whose birth is
celebrated today. As a prominent
charaoter in the history of the world,
as a great general and statesman, and
as a patriot and citizen George Wash
ington is entitled and will receive the
lasting regard of all ages and of all
people.
FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
"Go among the people, talk with
them, mingle witn them at tbe:r fire
sides, at the handles of their plows, in
their fileds, at their hospitable boards,
and yeu will discover this strong.
vigorous anti-Dolph current.
. , Jrublic opinion was
never so centralized against one man
in this stete before, never so certain
and almost unreasenable as it is in this
instance. The mighty hand of the
people is against Dolph and sooner or
later it will strike a blow that will
crush him and those who have even at
tempted to force him upon the people
as their representative in the senate.'
In this county we have gone among
tbe people and talked with them "at
their firesider;' but we did not see any
at the "handles of their plows," because
it is too early for plowing, and it was
too mucky and muddy to visit them "in
their fields." Among Republicans
there is no opposition to Mr, Dolph,
except among a few free-silver ones
who have been attracted by the wild
"craze" that has passed over the state
daring tbe last few dayc We have
no doubt this is true of Umatilla and
other portions of the state. Populist
and Democratic papers are misrepre
senting public sentiment in every
possible way to make it appear other
wise. The expressions in the East Orego-
nian's editorial are the same that are
used by Populist speakers all over the
country, and would sound patriotic
and eloquent if they had been uttered
by General Ooxey when be was driven
off the grass at the doors of the capi-
tol in Washington City. This clap
trap about the "mighty hand of tbe
people," and criticism of officials on
acccunt of the salaries they receive,
would be more in harmony with envi
ronment if they came from the work
shop or the field, and not frcm a re
ceiver of a national hank.
Frederick Doug'ass, the colored or
ator, died at his home in Anacostia, D.
0., yesterday. He was apparently in
good health up to the hour of his
death, and was waiting for a carriage
to convey him to a woman suffrage
convention Mr. Douglass was 78
years of age, and had an eventful
career. Born a slave, of a colored
mother and white father, he escaped
into the north, and in time assumed a
prominent part in the anti slavery
moyement. Since the war he has oc
cupied several important positions
under the government, and was presi
de ntial elector from the state of New
York in 1872. As a leoturer he al
ways attracted large audiences, and bis
earnestness in vindication of human
rights gave fiery eloquence to hie
speeches. In England his oratory
aroused the masses against slavery.and
he was always greeted with large
houses. He was the particular
friend of the colored people in
this country, and perhaps his efforts
did more to give them a proper under
standing of citizenship in their ab
ject condition after emancipation than
all others combined. As a prominent
oharacter in the great anti-slavery
struggle in the United States, and as
an illustration of the possibilities of the
colored rae, Frederick Douglas will
occupy a leading position in American
history.
EDIT6UAL NOTES.
Friday was a very busy day at
Salem. It is the fortieth of tbe sea-
sion, and no salary tan be drawn by
legislators after that date. The Ore
gon legislator is a man of sufficient
business sense not to be induced to
work for nothing, and for this reason
the body will undoubtedly adjourn. It
is to be hoped the senatorial contest
will come to an end by tbe eleotion of
either Mr. Dolph or Mr.Williams, and
from present indications tbe latter
gantleman will be the one chosen. If
this is accomplished, the legislature
will Dot receive as much censure as if
it epded in a deadlock.
Benjamin Harrieon was able to ex
tend $25,000,000 4 per cent bonds
three years ago at 2 per cent, but
Grover Cleveland has to pay 3J per
cent for the money he is borrowing
now, says the Globe Democrat. The
difference between Republican and
Democratic credit ordinarily is not
quite so great as this, but it is always
great enough to be noticeable.
When Harrison was inaugurated in
1889 the interest-bearing public debt
was $889,854,990,and when be retired
in 1893 it was only $585,029,100.
On Fnbruary 1, 1895, it bad increased
to $684,323,710, and when the next
bonds are sold it will amount to $746,-
723,710. These figures tell a story
that the average citizen can easily
understand.
they take hold of the estate and make
it shino with prosperity, as they did
on a previous occasion. The treasury
will be found all right when divorced
from a bankrupt party.
The Boothby bill, providing for an
appropriation to construct a portage
road around the obstructions in the
river above this point is of the greatest
importance to Eastern Oregon, as it
will " afford relief to producers in
the Inland Empire until the ship rail
way is in operation. Cheap means of
transportation are pertinent subjects
for legislation, and the passage of this
measure at the present session would
be of great benefit to farmers and
shippers east of the Cascade mount
ains.
The news comes from Germany that
the reichsteg favors calling an inter
national bi-metallic congress. This is
received with applause by tbe friends
of unlimited coinage in this country,
as they hope their opinion on the
money question may be recognized,
There have been two international
congresses already, and no agreement
has been reached. The third may be
more fortunate in arriving at some
harmonious understanding by which
silver may stand on a parity with gold
in international commercial transac
tions.
The changes made by Speaker
Moores and Senator Hobsen today on
the senatorial question can be easily
understood. They were done to insure
the election of a United States senator
by the legislature, if that could be ac
complished by any sacrifice. These men
understood their duty to their consti
tuents, and are willing to make sacri
fices to break the deadlock. The mo
tive is a commendable one on their part,
and if the same spirit actuated the bolt
ers a senator would bave been elected
at the beginning of the session. It
may be tomorrow enough supporters of
Mr. Dolph will change to Mr. Williams
to elect him, and no other roan could e
named who would so nearly satisfy the
friends of the senior senator. He is a
very able man, a thorough Republican,
and sound in his views on the money
question.
Saturday and Monday the bolters
appeared to concentrate their votes
upon Hon. George H. Williams, and
very many thought he would be the
man on whom would fall the sena
torial toga; but the Oregonian pub
lished a double-leaded editorial this
morning endorsing that genteman for
tbe position, and, as a matter of
course, the obstructionists this after
noon "switched" to another man.
Now, if the great daily will oppose
Mr. Dolph tomorrow morning he
will likely be elected in joint conven
tion in the afternoon. With these
caucus bolters it is not who the people
of Oregon desire, or who will subserve
tha best interests of the state; bdtthey
appear to lie hunting up some one who
will antagonize tbe Oregonian and de
feat Mr. Dolph. And yet. the Republi
cans elected some men with such nar
row, contracted, immature minds to
the legislature last J une.
The Salem Statesman, which
been a firm supporter of Mr. Dolph
for the senate, published an article to
day favoring the election of Governor
Lord, and gives as a reason for the
change that the legislature should not
adiourn without choosing a senator
and that the governor is a candidate on
whom the different factions would con
centrate. There are several objections
to the Statesman's position, the most
prominent being that Governor Lord
was elected executive of the state by a
large Republican majority, and should
be satisfied with tbe honor conferred
upon him. He should have withdrawn
when he was first mentioned as a can
didate for senator, and the people
would bave had a higher respect for
him than they now have. There is
only one way to end the senatorial
contest, and that is by the election of
Hon. J. JN. Dolph, whose name was
before the people last June, and who
has received a majority of Republi
cans on every ballot. Speaker Moores
tried to concentrate Republican votes
on Williams yesterday and failed,-and
there is no other logical way to end
the fight than the one mentioned.
The administration was violently
attacked in the senate 8aturday by tbe
friends of unlimited coinage and some
Republicans, because the president had
placed the last issue of bonds in for
eign markets. They claimed that tbey
would have been taken by our citizens,
and whatever advantages accruing
would have inured to the people of
the country. There is another way
in which to consider thin matter. The
money taken from foreign banks will
be so much added to the gold of the
country, while if it were taken from
our own banks it might cause a con
traction of the circulating medium
in the large centers of trade. Under
the circumstances President Cieve
land acted according to his best judg
ment, and, as congress would not pass
the financial bill and the treasury was
depleted far below the $100,000,000
limit, it was imperative that tbe loan
should be made. rbe causes which
led to the drain on the treasury may
be of Democratic creation; but tbe
credit of the nation had to be sustained,
and it was the duty of the executive
to act immediately. Mr. Cleveland
has done this, and should receive the
unqualified endorsement of all patriotic
citizens, irrespective of party affilia
tions.

crossing Peconic bay on the ice. between
North Haveo and Shelter island.
Since tbe recent blizzard the people of
North Haven, who go to Shelter island to

Lilhau stepped in an air bole whieb was

The two children hastened to her

and Lillian, instead of trying to get out
herself, gave ber attention to tbe little

them not to come near ber again.
Lilian bad become chilled and was hardly

Influence of liquor, and all engaged in a
lively row. Ihe three men jumped on
tbe two, beating them severely.
Harrington, in the meautime, got away
and ran down town to give the alarm,
leaving Newton in the bands of the three

French cattle with contagious diseases
Tbe minister said that ibe subject bad
been placed already before a special com

Hon. Ueo. IT, Williams has received
the vote of the bolters for the past
two days. Ibis gentleman has been a
power in congress, is sound on tbe
financial question, and no doubt would
ably represent Oregon in the senate;
but bis name was nrt before the peo
ple of Oregon last June, and he did
not receive the caucus nomination.
The candidate of the majority, Mr.
Dulph, has both these requisites, and
therefore should be elected.

TELEGEAPHI0 HEWS
Wants ne 31 ore Bonds.
Washington. Feb. 21 During discus
sion in the senate on a proposition to issue
bonds for increased sewerage in Tasb-
iogtoo, Allen declared tbe country had
gone mad. Everybody, he said, wants
bonds issued except tbe Populist a. Car
lisle bad ample authority to use millions
of silver now in the treasury, but be dog
gedly refused to do so. He (Allen)
would not by nis vote antnorza Uoriiale
tn issue an interesl-besring obl'gatioa.
He further asserted tbat every bond
issued by Carlisle was null and void,
inasmuch ss tbe act of January 14, 1875,
under which be claimed authority to issue
bonds bad been repealed . He cbara ter
ized tbe recent attempt to pass a free
coinage bill as "A grandstand play at a
spectacular performance." He expressed
the bope that before another year there
would be suffcieot accessions to the
Populists from both of tbe old parties to
prevent the issuance of lurtber bond:
Hatters Will Be Deferred.
Washington. Feb. 19 "I do not think
there will be any legislation at tbe
present session on tbe Pacific railways,"
said oue of the lobby of tbe Union Pacific
railroad system to a correspondent last
eveuiog. "1 thins mat uantingion ana
the Central Pacific railroad are indiffer
ent about the matter and are just as
willing to have tbe matter in congress
deferred. It will be harder for tbe
Union Pacific railroad tban for any otber.
Senator Brice said to me he thought it
posslhle to secure an amendment to one
of the appropriation billa--aay, Ibesondry
civil Dili, for instance -to provide tbat
tbe roads may pay the principal of tbeir
debt to tbe government sod be exempted
from the payment or interest as a com
promise. Still I bave my doubts tbat
anything will be done. Tbe reason why
tbe bill wai defeated when tbe vote was
taken on Boatner's resolution to recom
mit was because some of tbe Democrats
passed tbe word around tbat no party
capital could be made out oi the Dill, and
therefore, action tnereon sneuia De
postponed and let tbe Republicans meet
tbe issue. I know that tbe nigbt before
tbe vote was taken I made a careful can
vass of tbe enlire membership of the
boure and was confident of a ' clear
msiority of at least 25 in favor of the
bill, bnt tbe story circulated served to
kill tbe mehsure, and I believe it b
been defeated beyond tbe possibility of
its revival."
Besardinar Fnr Seals.
Washington, F.b. 20 The president
bas issued his annual proclamaaion re
garding fur seals. Tbe document, which
is dated February 18, but was only made
public today, differ in no respect irom
previous proclamations issued by the
United States, and provisions of sections
1950 of tbe revised statutes and of section
3 of tbe act of March 3, 1889, are quoted.
Those provisions forbid under tbe penalty
of Due and imprisonment tbe unauthor
ized killing of any fur seal within tbe ter-
iilory of Alaska "or the waters thereof,'
at any time, and prohibits all unauthor
ized persons from entering tbe waters of
Bebring sea for tbis purpose. No refer
ence is made to the forbidden zone
around Pndvloff islands established by
tbe Paris tribunal, or tbe provision in tbe
tribunal's decision prohibiting tbe killing
of seals outside tbat zone between May
and J nly ot each year.
After the Ballroada.
St. Paul, Feb. 20 Tbe freight rate
reduction committees of the legislatures
of Minnesota and North Dakota met here
this afternoon and listened to an argu
ment by M D Grover, of tbe Great North
ern railway, against any general re
duction of rates. Mr. Grover attempted
to show that bis company did not make
0 oer cent on a tenth of its investment.
This was admitted ot the line west of
Minor, N. D., but not points east
of Minot. It was tbe general impression
of tbe committee tbat a uniform cut ot
10 per cent should be made. Tbe Minne
sota members ot tbe committee will go
to Bismarck Monday, and a second con
ference will be held, after wbicb bills will
be introduced in both legislatures.
Coinage Bill n ttbdrawn.
, Washington, Feb. 20 Shortly after
the senate met today, Jones, In a state
ment, said he gave up tbe fight for tbe
passsge ot an unrestricted coinage bill.
He declared tbat it was not at any time
tbe intention of Ibose favoring tbe bill to
jeopardize the appropriation bill or to
run the risk of forcing an extra session.

Harry on tae Stand.
Minneapolis, Feb. 21 The cross-ex
amination of W W Hayward, the father
of tbe young man accused of murdering
Miss Glng, wsscontinaed today. County
Attorney Nye could not shake his testi
mony lu tbe slightest.
By the testimony of Gunsmith William
Yale, tbe defense established tbe fact tbat
tbe bullet wbicb killed Miss Giog was of
the same weight as the one taken from a
88-i hort cartridge.
Blixt testified tbat Harry Hayward had
told bim tbe cartridges were 88 long.
Defendant Harry Hayward was called
and took tbe stand with arms folded and
teeth set. He declared in answer to
questions that tbe testimony of Blixt and
Adrian Hayward was false. He knewtbe
reason bis brother testified fslsely sgainst
him, and Erwin asked him to explain
Tbe prosecution objected, and the objec
tion was sustained.
Erwin asked . "Did your brother have
any icar ot ynu for the reason that you
might make disclosures about him?"
"Yes, sir." responded Harry, but the
answer was rule ! out.
"Now. you beard Adrian say be never
saw Miss Ging. Did he ever see ber?"
"Ha did. It waa on a narrow dark
road between Nicollett avenue and Lake
Calhoun. He said be could not see ber
very well, but be could feel ber all
right."
"Was he alone with her?"
"He was not."
"I would rather not tell, unless it is
oecefsary. The young lady is here in tbe
citv
"What is the name; it will be necessary
to know it."
-Miss Veddsr. They were both with
bim."
Nye objected strenuously to anything
lurtber in tms une, and was sustained by
tbe court.
"I tell you," said Judge Smith, "it is an
insult to this court wben you know what
you are proposing to show bas been ruled
out by tbis court, and you try to bring it
in another way."
"1 mean no disrespect," said nvm,
"and I do not. think I deserve reproof
Now" (turning to witness), "I will ask
yon about your relations with Miss
Ging."
"Well." said Harry, "I was introduced
to Miss Ging, I think, in January, 1894,
by Mr. Speaker, at a boarding-bouse. I
met ber at first perhaps as often as once
a week. After awhile I met ber often as
twice. From July to August on to De
cember 1, we were what you might call
lovers, I so ppose."
"Now, l will ask if any time while
you were lovers there were improper re
lations existing between you ofany sort J''
"No, sir; sbe was a true and noble girl
to tbe best of my behef, both toward me
and toward anybody else."
Hayward said be bad gambled high
"and lots of it." He admitted be bad
tried to keep it from tbe public, but his
friends all knew it. He said he bad
gambled in almost - every city in tbe
country, and named San Francisco, Lot
Angeles, San Diego and Cbeyenna, among
etber places be had visited. Miss Ging
knew be gambled, and took part in a faro
game herself.

Ten Nea-roea Drowned.
Watcb08S.Gb Feb. 19 A report from
Shirley says tbat 10 negroes were
drowned one day last week in the Satiila
river at the bridge of the Florida Central
& Peninsular railroad.
The negroes were rattsmen, and were
oo a raft of cypress limber when tbey
almost frozen. Tbeir faces, bands and
feet were frostbitten and their limbs were
so ben am bed tbat tbey were powerless in
steering the raft. The freshet had
reached tbe bigness mark, and the raft
became unmanageable. loe negroes
were weak and hungry and could not
stand up. Finally they grew desperate
and rolled off of tbe raft into tbe river
and tried to reach tbe sbore. They were
nnable to swim, so bennmbed and
frozen were tbeir arms and legs. They
soon sank and tbeir bedies were found
floating in the water a few days afterward.
