Mc- Laughlin, of the University of Michigan, told how Gov. Cass, in the early years of the terri- torial government of Michigan, had subdued the warlike red man and punished the copper- colored law-breaker. In the central, high-backed chair, with a huge blackboard for a background, sat Prof. Wm. F. Poole, librarian of the Newberry library, Chicago, the president of the Ameri- can historical association, and the audience which he faced was com| about equally of members of the association and of those who would probably like to be members, Ata table on the lower platform ‘was seated Secre- tary Herbert B. Adams, associate professor of history at Johns Hopkins university. ‘THE INFLUENCE OF GOV. CASS, Prof, McLaughlin's paper was entitled “The Influence of Gov. Cass upon the Development of the Northwest,” and its reading was listened to with marked attention. ially interest- ing were those portions of the address where reference was made to the masterly Ler of Gov, Cass in his dealings with the Brit authorities, then endeavoring to extend the in- fluence of England in the great northwest. The intrepidity of the governor was discussed at length ted by a few strong in- and illustrat stances, the results of which were seen in the ater safety of life and under the Ser portion of his, sdminiarstion. _ Prof, McLaughlin, in concluding his paper, said that Michigan had at last recognized in Lewis Cass one of the men to whom she owed much, and in alittle while a statue of her first governor = stand with the favored sons of other stat IN THE HALL OF STATUARY IN THE CAPITOL. President Adams, of Cornell university, said that some of the history treated by Prof. Mc- Laughlin would not be weakened by a little ex- planation and reassertion. Very briefly he stated the points he desired to make more clear and then he gave way to Mr. Frederick J. Turner, of Johns Hopkins university, who read the paper of Prof. W. T. Allen, of the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, on “THE PLACE OF THE NORTHWEST IN GENERAL HISTORY.” The paper called attention to the fact that this year was the three hundredth anniversary of the settlement of this country, for in 1588 (the armada year) Spain had a strong hold on North America, and twenty years later both France and England had permanent colonies here. The rapid and unexpected changes in national supremacy in Europe were shown to have had their effect in this country, and Prof. Allen traced clearly the parallels of’ power on both sides of the Atlantic. THE SECRET OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION was alleged to be found in the fact that, freed from fear of the French power on their bor- ders, the colonies were able to assert their rights and to give a fuller development to the treasures of English liberties, English institu- tions and English civilization bequeathed them by the mother country. Four points of espe- cial importance were emphasized by the profes- sor. The first one was that the title to the northwest belonged to three great nations— Spain, France and England—which, in the 16th, 1ith and 18th centuries, respectively, possessed the acknowledged leadership among the European states, ENGLAND'S LEADERSHIP IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. Secondly, the leadership acquired by En- gland in the eighteenth century was integrally associated with the building up of the British empire, and the decisive fact in the formation of this empire was the acquisition from France of that enormous territory of which the north- west is the center—the keystone of the arch. Third, the imperial destiny of the United States hung upon the possession of the north- west; but for the military success of Clark and the diplomatic skill of our commissioners in negotiating the treaty of peace, in securing just this territory, our domain would have been contracted, our national aspirations would have had no scope, and it is not likely that there would have been the courage to make the pur- chase of Louisiana and the subsequent acqui- sit Fourth, the development of our na- tional policy was closely connected with, and, in fact, first took shape {a the ordinance which organized this territory. Our territorial sys- tem, our policy of creating new states, our na- tional guarantee of personal freedom, uni- versal education and religious liberty found their first expression in the great act which Provided for the government of the north- west.” HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE WEST, “The history of higher education in the Northwest,” was the title of the next paper, which was by Prof. Geo. W. Knight, of the Ohio state university. After the professor had complimented Commissioner of Education Dawson and Secretary H. B. Adams on their labors in behalf of higher education, he went on to discuss his subject in an exhaustive man- ner, The first congressional aid given to higher education was bestowed upon the old northwest territory, and that part of the coun- try shows in its educational growth the benefit of the treatment accorded it. Stress was laid upon the fact that Ohio has buried more colleges than any other state has ever d and still holds the premier position. The methods and theories upon which the col- leges and universities of the northwest terri tory were organized were treated of at consid- erable length, and especial attention was given to the evolution of the state university, and its connection with the educational system of the state. Statistics were introduced to show the number of colleges and universities in the five states of the territory, and Ohio's supremcy was declared with Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin following in the order to which they were entitled. The professor argued that it was not the original intention of Congress to found state universities, for the first grant was made in 1787 to a private institution which was expected thereafter to work out its own exist- ence, MAJOR POWELL, The Gmext lecturer was not in harmony, physically, with the three who had just pre- ceded him. All three were young men with an appearence that emphasized their youthful- hess very considerably. Their reading was of that smoothly-modulated character which comes of the modern school of elocution. The one who succeeded them was of another kind. His broad shoulders were surmounted by a large head. A full beard and moustache of brown-gray hue, and a good deal of iron-gray hair were prominent, and from under heavy eyebrows shone a pair of clear piercing eyes. Caledonia was visible in every feature and the first few words uttered confirmed the Scotch characteristics of the man, whose right coat sleeve hung limp at his side. It was Major J. W. Powell, the director of the United States geological survey, and he at once claimed the attention of the audience, and with the aid of A LANGUAGE MAP OF NORTH AMERICA, held it to the end of the morning session. The major’s remarks were interesting in their na- ture, and the native wit which he occasionally infused into them kept the crowd in good humor. He said that there we in the United States not less than seventy-three distinct stocks of lan- e and a large number of dialects. In con- clusion Maj. Powell referred to the attempt of certain scientists who had tried to design a uni- versal language. He satirized Volapuk and stated positively that it was a in which no man would ever be able to express himself; it was a monster that ed_no con- sideration from civilization and would get none. His denunciations were ap- plauded by an amused audience, INVITED TO TEA.

The announcement from St. Louis that Ted Sullivan is negotiating for the sale of Pitcher Widner to the St. Louis club has occasioned considerable comment at this end of the line. There is no reason to suppose the information untrue, except that in view of the excellent record of the southern twirler in the"box last season it was expected that he would be re- tained until some of the young blood should have been thoroughly tested, and, if found sat- isfactory, more money could probably be ob- tained for Widner in June than before the ning of the season. Doubtless it is thought t Keefe will answer as wellas arelief for Whitney and O'Day, while great faith is cen- tered in Haddock. Widner made a good man; friends among the public, who atly ad- mired his fielding in’ the box—a feature of number of games in which he participated. O'Day would probably have been disposed of had the high and low ball rule been adopted. One of his strongest points is his a, low ball. If compelled to give a high ball when wanted his effectiveness would have been con- siderably lessened. ‘ In all likelihood O’Brien and Donnelly will go to Columbus, unless their services are wanted by a league club, which is not probable. John Ward is scoring a decided success as manager in Australia, according to the reports from the traveling ball teams. It is said that Capt. Anson acknowledges that he has a strong rival in the judicious management of ball players. Rowe is represented as saying that both White and himself will play in Buffalo, and that they are not fighting the reserve rule, but sim- ply object to the defunct Detroit club selling them tosome other club regardless of their personal feelings. He thinks Detroit will give them their release: Sess The Assault on Jeremiah Dacey. TRIAL OF JOHN BROWN IN THE CRIMINAL COURT. In the Criminal Court yesterday the trial of John Brown for an assault with intent to kill Jeremiah Dacey on November 18 was com- menced. .The testimony was that Dacey was at the house of Mrs, Anna Revels, 724 5th street, and was talking to Chesed ey when Mrs. Brown, who, with her husband, had rooms up stairs, came down with a lath in her hand, charged him with having insulted her, and as- saulted him with the lath. The defendant Mrs. Brown’s husband), Dacey said, came lown, ran him up against the wall. and cut at him ten or a dozen times, inflicting a cut across his right cheek and making no less than nine holes in his clothing. ‘TESTIMONY TO-DAY. This morning Jerry Murphy testified that he had called to see Mrs. Revels, and while there alady came down stairs with a stick. Brown came down the steps and went back, Officers Work an‘ reag'§ testified to arresting Brown, who was under the influence of liquor, and he said that Dacey had culled his wife a bad name, and admitted that he had cut Dacey. THE DEFENDANT'S STATEMENT. The defendant after putting on several wit- nesses as to reputation testified in hisown be- half. He said that his wife had gone down stairs to get some water and he heard her scream; that he went down stairs and saw Dacey knock his wife down, and at the same time call her an opprobious name; that he went down in the defense of his wife when Dacey struck him and he struck back and Dacey got him by the throat by both hands and after he had told me to let go and Dacey had replied “I will when I knock your brains out,” he used the knife. He denied that he was drunk and said he never knew of his wife being | under the influence of liquor. He asserted he had not bought a demijohn of liquor and made his wife drink some of it. In rebuttal Officer Riley testified that Mrs. Brown had the appearance that evening of being intoxicated; that they were hugging and | kissing after Brown had been placed under ar- rest. Officer Work testified that Mrs, Brown was drunk, and all were drunk. Mrs. Revels denied that she was intoxicated. Mr. Carrington made an argument for de- fendant, Mr. Lipscomb made no argument. A VERDICT OF ‘NOT GUILTY. After an hour's absence a verdict of not guilty was returned and the defendant dis- charged. —_->__ Real Estate Matters. M. W. Dalton has bought, for 9,000, of John B.

The Shooting of Thomas Jarboe by ex- Justice Clark. ‘TESTIMONY IN THE POLICE COURT TO-DAY—THE AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH ‘The case of ex-Justice of the Peace John T. ©. Clark, charged with attempting to kill Thomas Jarboe, on the Ridge road, Thanke- giving night, as published in Taz Stam at the time, was called for trial in the Police Court to-day, and Mr. E. H. Thomas, for the defend- ant, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Thomas asked that the court hear all the eye-witnesses to the shooting. He was sure that there was no intent to kill, and thought the court would find that no offense had been committed. TESTIMONY OF JARBOR. Jarboe testified that on Thanksgiving day he borrowed Mr. Clark’s horse and buggy and came to the city. He drank considerable dur- pe ppg See Sy] ee onal meee ar ld him that he (Jarboe) was too drunk to drive, His friend drove until within a quarter of a mile of the house and witness then drove home alone. Witness lived in Clark's house and had been on terms with him for nearly two years. «ie clerageerjremrtpna d about 10 o'clock in the morning and told Car! that he would ly be home in an hour. Witness took first drink in a saloon on Pennsylvania avenue and then went to a barber Witness got home about 4 o'clock, He remembered going in the chicken house because the housekeeper would not let him in the house. He did not remember striki the housekeeper, Mrs. Wells, but did rememl that she struck him. He did not remember exactly what as, but did remember that Clark shot him three times, “one in the leg, one in the side, and one on the top of the head.” The last two were only slight wounds. STORY OF AN EYE-WITNESS. Chas, Reeves, colored, testified that Thanks- giving afternoon Mr. Clark sent for him and told him that Jarboe was drunk and had as- saulted Mrs. Wells and himself. Witness tried to get Jarboe to go to bed, but did not succeed, and then witness'iried to get him off the prem- ises, Jarboe went back to the house and made arush for Mr. Clark, and the latter hit him. Jarboe then went toward Mrs. Wells, as wit- ness thought, to apologize, but instead of doing so he assaulted the woman. He then re- newed the assault on Mr. Clark and got an axe. He threatened to kill both Mrs. Wells and Mr. Clark. Witness got frightened and went away. As he walked off he heard Jarboe break in the door, Two hours later he heard three shots fired, but did not return to the house until the next morning. WISHED CLARK HAD KILLED HIM. Mrs, Fanny Cloe, colored, testified that she saw Jarboe sitting in the chicken-house. He was intoxicated. Mr. Clark wanted her to ask him in the house, but she did not care to do so. She went home and Jarboe came to her house later in the evening and told her that he was shot. She kept him in her house until the fol- lowing morning. Jarboe was suffering from his wounds and said he wished Mr. Clark had killed him. THE HOUSEKEEPER'S TESTIMONY. Mra, Wells, the housekeeper, testified that when Jarboe came home he was intoxicated. He abused and assaulted Mr. Clark and herself several times. After Mr. Clark locked the door Jarboe broke it with an axe, and threatened to | kill them. Later in the evening Jarboe re- | turned and renewed the threats. She advised him to go away, but he refused to do so, say- ing he had a revolver and intended to kill both of them. Then Mr. Clark fired three shots. Jarboe then came to the house and told her that he was shot. The judge said that Jarboe’s statement could not be relied on. He admits that he was drunk. “Do you think the grand jury would indict on this testimony?” the court asked. “I doubt it very much,” answered Mr. Shil- lington. “I don't think the testimony warrants @ conviction.” AN ACQUITTAL, The case was dismissed. csi wrates PN KNOCKED OUT IN TWO ROUNDS. Billy Young has a Prize-Ring Picnic with Charlie Gainy this Morning. The fight between Billy Young, the light- weight champion of the District, and Charlie Gainy, a middle-weight from New York, took place this morning on a farm in Maryland about4 miles from the city, and resulted in the defeat of the litter in tworounds. The fight was to a finish, Marquis of Queensberry rules, the winner to take seventy-five per cent of the gate receiptsand the loser twenty-five. Tite scene of the fight was in a clearing in the midst ofa grove of chestnuts, At least 150 of the sporting element and a sprinkling of farmers witnessed the battle. In the absence of “régular” gloves the audience contributed two pairs of “kids” which were cut off at the fingers and used. A NARROW ESCAPE FROM THE POLICE. About 9 o'clock carriages of all sizes, and weighted down with Washington's sporting fraternity, started for the scene of the battle. A Star reporter occupied a seat in a wagon with one of the principals. The trip was un- eventful until the little saloon near the Dis- trict line was reached, when two mounted policemen came into sight. Drawing near in front of the wagon they peered curiously in, but seeing no evidence of anything wrong, and having received the assurance from one of the party that they were farmers, the party was allowed to pass. Reaching the grounds it was found that Gainy had not shown up, and it was feared there would be no fight. The sports who had congregated paced restlessly up and down over the muddy ground, finding consolation every now and then in queer shaped battles with which each one was pro- vide A shout of “Here he comes” turned every eye in the direction of the road. Gainy was at hand, and the fight was assured. After some discussion as to the stakes, Andy Trainor was chosen stake holder and Charlie Hatton Xenuroeieneaiak and stepped light! ‘oung 8 ,and st into the ring closely followed by Gainy. Young weighed 135 pounds, while Gainy ti the scales at 162. Byron McDowell and Tom Mc- — ae < a Reddy oe jooked after Yor an George stood behind Gainy.” . THE FIGHT BEGINS. Time was¢called 11:50, and, after a little cautious sparring, Young led for Gainy’s neck, and received a hard one in the stomach before he could get away. He soon showed he was in earnest, and turned the tables by punishing his adversary severely, landing repeatedly on his left eye, and getting away unhurt. Gain; seemed shaky, but rallied after a little, ani Nailor’s alley. Jones claimed that the money | aimed a vicious one at Young, which the latter was taken bya woman. He, however, being under a suspension of sentence for housebreak- ing, the court directed his retention in custody. deanna Sertovs Runaway AccipENt.—Last evenin, the horse attached to the business wagon of J.

Swift, of California, and Jno, Wame- maker, of Philadelphia.” DON'T WANT BLAINE, BUT WILL TAKE HIM. The Times man gives the result of a conver sation with two republicans said to be upon close relations with Gen. Harrison, and both of whom were opposed to Blaine, yet reluct- antly admit that he will be Secaviany of State. BEES 08 “I know that Gen. “but what can he do? Blaine has at J fourths of the working politicians of the party behind him. If he is left out of the cabinet he and his friends will work mischief,and Gen. Har- rison cannot afford to begin his administration with a large disaffected faction in the pert,” Will Sherman be offended if he is left out?” “His anger is not so potent as Blaine’s. He has not so great power for mischief, nor has he the disposition. He is now one of the foremost men in the Senate, and will hold that rank all through Gen. Harrison's administration. Blaine has no office. This fact, by the way, has been forcibly brought to Gen. Harrison's attention. He has been told verbally and by letter by a score of republican politicians that to leave such a man as Blaine with absoiutely nothing to do when he confessedly desired to enter the service of the nation would be a slight not to be overlooked or forgiven—that ine must resent such a slight Gen. Harrison has been re- minded, too—and it is impossible to deny it— that Blaine’s supporters in the Chicago con- vention gave the nomination to him when they might easily have defeated him.” WARNER MILLER’S CHANCES. After stating the ground of Gen. Harrison's objection to Blaine to be that the general de- sires to be president himself and not be over- shadowed by any member of his cabinet, the same names as are given in the Tribune cor- respondence are mentioned as good cabinet probabilities. The interview then continues: “Has Mr. Miller a chance?” “A good chance. Gen. Harrison likes him and has confidence in him. Look out for this | settlement of the contest in New York: Warner Miller in the cabinet and Thomas C. Platt col- lector of the port of New York, with the pres- sure of the support of the administration for the successorship to Senator Evarts, whose term ends March 1, 1891. This has been pro- posed to Platt, and he will take it; for, as the | great regret of his life is that he followed | Conkling in 1881 and threw away his just-at- tained senatorship, so it is his great ambition to be a Senator once more.” Vill Mr. Miller be Secretary of the Treas- ury? “Not if Senator Allison will take it. General Harrison prefers Allison above all men for the head of the Treasury De ent, but Mr. Alli- son is loath to leave the Senate, where he has a dignified and influential place for life. General Harrison expects that if this Congress fails to do so the next Congress will create the Depart- ment of Agriculture, and he would like to make Mr. Miller its head.’ Speaking of Mr. Miller, do you know that he has had no one here pre- senting his claims to General He has not pestered General Harrison as Platt has.” On the other hand some think that the suce for Blaine and Platt has been o' and they also think that all the efforts now being made are in accordance with an agree- ment between Blaine admirers to force him upon Harrison whether the President-elect wants him or not. sak as tohiews upon this The New York Herald = econ republican Paine enil bis Stends working 5 and his friends are now very hard, poe no one not on the inside can appreciate what a great pressure is being Sought to bear on Harrison in his favor. The Indiana ce ppeneet are almost a unit against Blaine, and I have reason to believe that Gen. | Harrison is not inclined to take him into his cabinet. Ifhe does it will be a result of this unprecedented effort that is being made in his interest.” The Herald has also a sensational from Albany giving certain alleged history in regard to the manner in which Gen, Harrison's nomination election were secured, and asserting that neither Blaine, Alger, Platt, nor Quay can be in the next ‘cabinet. In case of Quay it is stated that no man whom he favors will be selected, and of course that disposes of Mr. Wanamaker, whom all other accounts concede to have been definitely determined uy This dispatch gives Sherman, Warner Miller, and Wharton Barker as the men most likely to be selected, because to them Gen. Harrison is most indebted. 4 BOOM FOR GOV. PORTER, Mention is made of a sudden boom of ex- Gov. Porter for a cabinet office. The Herald states that yesterday “a large number of the republican papers in the state appeared with | cong editorial indorsements of him, His fol- lowers have been hard at work, and the con- certed effort of the newspapers that indorse him to-day, it is believed, will have its effect. ‘This Porter movement, which has ABS sumed large proportions, has some backin, oo baad wean Bree D.P. win, 0} port, is one of the prime mor He is worth e million or more, and has the vantage of a long acquaintance with Gen. rison.
