A BIC DISTILLERY TRIAL, Prohibitionists Working With the Whicky Pool to Close the Iuternational, A GIRL CONVICTED OF MURDER Crowds ata Des Moincs Court to Hear the Sensational Case — The Angus Riots Decision— Other Towa News, An Important Teial, Drs Moixes, Dee, 5 weial to the B —At last the “big distillery” is put upon trial to show cause why it shouldn't be closed up under the operation of the prohibitory law, the same as the breweries and saloons, A number of the extreme prohibitionists through the state have been harping on the one strafn that the International distillery at this place was being favored unduly and il legally. It has been in vain to tell them that distillery manufactured only for export, not a gallon of its products being sold in Lowa, and that the state law bad no authority over Inter-state commerce. They msisted hat it had, and that the distillery”conld be closed by injunction the same as any other institution that they held was violating the law. Accordingly a suit was brought by an agent of the State Temperance allinnce, ask- ing that the distillery be enjoined from ope rating. The arguments of counsel have been heard by Judge Given, of the eircuit court, aud a decision is anticipated this week. The main argiment of the prosecution is to the effect that thie state has supreme police powwer, and acting under that power it can close a distillery, even though manufacturing for export, i it believes that such exercise of power is cssential to the public good. The defense rely chiefly upon the argument that the state has no power to regulate inter-state commerce, and that the state ean no more prevent the exportation of alcohol to T1inois than it can the exportation of corn or hous, 1t 1s quictly whispered that the real movers of this suitare the leading distillers in the western pool. The International, which is perhaps the second in size in the United States, has refused to enter the present pool and keeps on manufacturing independently, The pool distilleries would bo very glud {0 see ftelosed, even il the result were brought abont through the agency of a temperance alliance. A MURDERESS CONVICTED, "Thie local sensation for the past ‘week has been the frinl of May Foster for the murder of hier chiiny, Jessic Cartor, Inst spring, On the 15th of Mareh the girl, Jessie, was found dying from the efects of a bullet lired by some person unknown. Wihen the house was broken open shortly after dinner the defend- ant, who was also a companion in v was, diseovered in an excited condition, locked in and utéerly nnable or unwilling to’ tell how the shootiiig oceurred. Suspicion rested upon Ter, as it wis known that she was _jealous of the'other girl for having won away” a former paramour, who was about_to take the girl Carter o’ Sioux City, She was arrested, ged with the murder, and has been in 1eversince, At this late date the - defe raised the theory thatshe had been chloro- formed, and was unconscious during the suooting, which, it is intinated, was done by one Baxter, the voung man in the case. Tho trial has attracted great attention, and the court room has been packed every session. “The interest to see n woman tried for her life, particularly a woman “off color,” whose associations necessarily involve some very cnsational details, has been very wreat, and men and wonen, too, have stood for lours during the progress of the trial eager to eateh every word of the proceedings The case went (o the jury about 6 o’clock yesterday. and after being out till noon to-day they returned a verdict against the girl of murder in the second de- gree. 'Ibis verdiet and the close of the trial relieves the anxious minds of several promi- nent young men of this city whose personal relations with the young woman have been such they feared exposure before the trial WAS over. THE ANGUS RIOTS CASE. T'nesupreme court,in aflirming the deeision of the lower court it the case of the Angus riots, has followed the priueiple of the Chi- wo'court in the anarchists” trial. The de: fendant was indicted for murder, but was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to the penitentiary ior (hree years, It wa shown that he was engaged in the conspiracy to kill one of the non-union miners who went to work in the Angus mines at the tine of the strike there about two years ago. A mob of stiikers had tried to drive the new wen away, and after vavious assaults they attacked a'dwelling house, and in the meleo oneof the inmates, Nelse' Munson, was shot and killed, The evidence produced at the trial showed that the defendant was one of the mob and took an active part in entering the house, but failed to show that he fired the fatal shot. But the court held “thatif the de- feodant was encaged in the conspiracy by which the homicide was committed, the act of nomielde was binding upon him the sameas if done by himselt,” “This is the exact prinei- ple laid down in the trinl of the anarchists, and its reaflirmance by the lowa supreme court will tend to strengihen its position and materially assist in criminal proscentions in the future. A HOXIE REMINISCENCE, ‘The executive council, including the gov- ernor, sceretary of state, auditor ‘and treas- urer, have been canvassing the official vote of the state for the vs. The prompt- ness and completeness with which” offelal ection returns are now received are in strik- ing contrast with the long and vexatlous de- Tays in the early history of the state. A story asrecalled of an experfence that the late H, M. Hoxie had nearly thirty vears ago when e was ehairman of the republican state con- tral comoittee. 1u those days there was no telegraph, no railroads to speak of, and very poor mail artangements, 1t would' be weeks afteran election before the peoplo would know how an election had gone: 1t hiap- pened that year that Mr, Hoxie was chair- man that the returns were unusually slow in returning. At last one day he recelved a let- ter from one of his lieutenants in the north- ern part of the state who had a large disarict under his care. Impatiently opening it to Jearn the vote he found- this glowing an- nouncement: *“Doar Siv: We have met the enemy and they are ours” From Buncombe 1o Lee, from Fremont to Allamalkee (the four corner counties of the state). Yes sirree, by God! Yourstruly, ete,” ‘The exeited chaiman in his enthusiasm over a republiean victory, had forgotten to send a single ficure of ‘the vote, and atter waiting a monih for bis letter, Mr. Hoxie was 10 wiser than before he recefved it.

Annual Rteport of the Treasurer of the United States, WASHINGTON, Dee. 5, —The United States treasurer has submitted to the secretary of the treasury his annual report, from which it appears that the net receipts of the govern- ment during the year ended June 850, 1556, were $335,440,000 and the net expenditures $242,444,000, an increase in the net receipts over last year of §80,403,000, The receipts on aceount of the postoftice department, not in cluded in the above, amounted to $52,007,000, an increase of:$5,057,000 over last vear. The expenditures increased §235,000 over last year. Bonds of the United States amonnting to £44,531,000 were redeeined and applied to the sinking fund, Coupons amounting to 7,557,000 were vaid, also interest on registered bonds amounting to $42,49,000. Of the bonds held in trust for national banks $61,042,000 were withdrawn, £50,015,000 of this amount being held to se- cure cirenlation.

Silver certificates to the amount of $25,524,000 and gold to the amount of $10,1%0,000 were re- deemed, The amountto the credit of dis- bursing offices at the close of the year was 317, Unavailable funds, 21,000, io the treasury at the close ot ear ending September 50, wa £100,050,000, an increase of §16,816,000 over a year ago. Available balance, 72,013,000, an increase of SI3991,000 over last year. The treasuier says the present method of examining sub-treasuries is very unsatisfa tory, and an appropriation should be made which will enable the treasarer to put these oftices in zood condition and thus render the work of antual examination thorough but less costly hereatter. It is impossible to con- tine the system in its present form as h country increases in wealth and population The extinetion of § per cent bonds, whicli will probably oecur during the ensuing year, leaves the 4'¢ and 4 per eent bonds the only ones available for the sinking fund. R sulting from this the 10ss on the existing sinking fund will be £765 anually. as- suming 2 per cent. as the best rate the bonds can bring. 1t the purchases for the sinking fund are to be maintained at he present fig- wres it will be found impracticable to make these purchases atsuch a time and such manner as to relieve the money market in times of financial distress” as these srangemients oceur almost invariably at the time of moving crops, a statement equivalent tosaying thal every productive in- torest in the country wmust pay toll to foreign buyers, through a lower range of prices which obtain at such times, because of the fact that our arrangements for coliections and dishursements are so defective as to need an artificial and vio'ent remedy in order to place in active cireulation moneys withdrawn from the business of the country. The treas- urer urges upon the comiuy slon of cou wcross the necessity of finding and adopting a vemedy, because the evil will be upon us be- fore thie next session. The details are given of a new plan, by which method, the treas- urer says, the entire debt can be retired in the year 19555 and by the present method in 1008, The total amount of United States notes outstanding at” the close of the year wis SHO66L000, The treasurer Is attention to $147,305.000 of paper money in the so-called “reserve vauit” prepare for issue without authority of law “and ad- vises legislation to permit” its lezal disposi- tion. The treasurer says the amount of _sii- ver cerlificates in actual eirculation is $35,- 116,000, a decrease of $13,415,000 during the vear, Several tables, showing the coinage of Standard silver dollars, show that the nuinber now in circulation is 61,761, being the iarzest sum yet attained in cireulation of this Kind of currency. = S tobbing the Dead. MaNIsTEE, Mich., Dec. 5,—|Special Tel- egram to the BEE.|—About two weeksazo two schooners. the Menekauner and Marin- ette, were wrecked near Franktort and four- teen men drowned. Yesterday a search party found jthat [F. R. Axtell, a justice of the peace at Frankfort, had taken charge of some bodies to hold an inquest on them. The varty went to Axtell's house with a wagon for the bodies that they wight ship them to relatives in Port Huron. He said iie had held an inquest and that the bodies were in bis corn crib. On goiug to the crib Axtell threw open the door, when a sicken- ing sight met the gaze of the searchers, ‘There, frozen etiff, and without a thread of clothing lay the body of John Davidson, whilg the body of Thomas Walters was clad only in an old pair of nants and facket. Tho bodies had been robbed even of the garments the brave fellows perished in. One of the searell party swore out a warrant for tho ar- rest of Axtell for robbing the dead and it was executed, Several warrants are out for the arrest of other parties who have made it a business to scour the shores in the yicinity of wrecks and steal everything valuable that comes ashore, A determined effort will be made to send these ghouls to the peniten- tiary. oSl Suspected of the Rock Island Job. Ciicao, Dee, 5,—Henry Schwartz, in the county jml here charged with bigamy, is strongly suspected of being the man guilty of the robbery of the Rock Island express train last Mareh when Kellozg Nichols lost his life and $87,000 was stolen from the ex- press car in his charge. Up to the time of his arrest for bigamy Schwartz haa been for two yoars & brakeman on the Rock Island train. He claims his arrest is due to the de- sire of the Rock Island company to send some one to the penitentiary for {he robbery ot the express car, and confesses to having spent much more money than he could have earned, e belonged to the crew of th which was robbed, and was not suspected at the time, but now the detectives have con - nected the links of evidence which seem to implicate him. In tne closet of his cur was found the leather hand bk whica belonged to Schwartz, and which contained o piece torn from one of the stolen checks, Schwarts was shadowed and found to be spending money lavishly, much of it being in larze bills like the denomination of those stolen. The railway and express ofticials hope in his arrest that they have the pieans of clearing up the mystery of the murder and robbe Sl Al Mexican Editors Jailed 81, Louts, Dec, 5.—A special from Neales, Ariz,, dated yesterday, says: Much excite ment was created here to-day by the news of the arrest of the Mexlcan editors who are in opposition to Torres, present governor of Sonora, Mex.

BIDS FOR THE NEWLY-MARRIED. Lively Competition Among Washing ton Hotel Keepers for Their Pat- ronage—Sunday Liaws Being Agitated--Capital News. He Dealt With the Wrong Mar WasHINGTON, Dec., 5,—[Speclal Telegram to the Bek. |—During the last days of Judge Thoman's stay in Washington as a civil ser- vice commissloner he bought a residence here of Alfred Richards, for which he was to pay about $15000, The payment he made upon it was in the famous Indiana school bonds or due bills alleged to be 1raud- ulent. {ichards devosited the bonds in the Citizen's National bank, of which he is a di- rector, and without waiting to hear from the bonds gave the ex-eivil service commissioner atitlo to the property. Thoman promptly mor‘gaged the property for 85,000 cash. He ot the money and house, and now it is sald it is occupied and run as a_boarding house by relatives of the judge. Wign the bonds came back reported as worthless Richards was thoughit to b helpless. 1e had trusted Thoman on the strength of letters from Sena tor Voorhees and the late Vice-President Hendricks, which letters Thomas saw fit to regain possession of, but Alfred Richards is as shrewd as he is generous, and to-days Cap- ays that next week's developments will convince Thoman that he waa trifling with the wrong man. Richards is a sclf-made man, rans one of the largest brickyards in the district and owns about twenty of the ilable houses in this city, —Late to-night Judge "Thoman was seen and he pronounced the publication of the above to be malicious and untrue in some particulars. e said that when he founa the Indiana bonds were fraudulent or question- able that he made good §5,400 of them and intends to do what is houorable in the whoie transaction. * He threatens to take sati tion out af the editok of the Capital if he does not apoloiz BIDS FOR THE NEWLY-MARIIED. So great has become the rivalry between three or four of the leading Washington hotels in the solicitation tor Dridal couples that the most successful of the landlords in this effort presents vaclone of the bridos who sfop at " his hostelry a_ beautiful bouquot or basket of cut flowers, ‘Llie clerk who re- ceives the couple inquirés ot the bridesgroom it he suspects recent marriage—and it is seldom that o mistake is mado—and then the flowers go up to the apartments engaged. One of the most luerative classes for the landlords at the eapital is the newly-married, Beginning with October and ending with April it is estimated that there are in the city an averaze, all the time, of two hundred pairs of brides and grooms. — Mr. Bureh, the man- ager of the bbitt, where the flowers are given and the hotel'wlich entertains most of them, says he frequently has forty couples and uverages over twenty-five during the busy season. They are, he says, the most de- sirable class of guests, Always pleasant, they ant the best of everything, and are given it. This hostelry makes a feature of pleasing these people, and all_embarrassinents are les: sened to the minimum. Guests theie are so used to seeing larze numbers of brides and rooms that they are spared the stares so cus- tomary where this class is rare, 1t i3 said to be the_purpose of the ereat hotel company organizing here and whlch in- tends to build a strneture'at a cost of $2,500,- 000, to arrange one fioor with bridal ments, Washingion is becoming mor more a favorite place on the wedding tour Everything is cheerful, there arc enough sights to occupy the time for months, and then the presence of so many of the new part- ners lends a kind of solace found at no other place, AGITATING SUNDAY LAWS, A good deal of t: s becen brought about here upon the sub; unday law by the action of citizens iu_Lndianapolis and” sce- tions of lowa to have Sunday obscrvance. Five years aro the front doors of restaurants, where intoxicating beverages were sold here to all elasses and age, were open on the first day of the week. There was no observation whatever of the holy day. A change in tho superintendency of the police and one or two other officers of the distreit, whose duty it 18 to execute the laws, brouglit about a rigid en- torcement of the authority vested in- them. A system of spies was inaugurated amone the police_ by which means all who sold liquor on Sunday were detected, eonvicted and punished. "I'his was followed up by a strict attention to the Sunday law by th police magistrates. Besides™ administering e most severe punishment, Judge Snefl spoke his mind upon every occasion possible, 10 the end that there should be some regard puid to the moral atmosphere of the com- munity. The result was liquors were sold very slyly, Ateach restaurant on Sunday morning & sentinel was posted, who refused admission to all persons who were not known to be loval to the keeper of the place. This practice continued and was serupulously and_carefully followed to its minutest detail, until about six months ago, when aifairs began to grow lax. Then anumber of the sentinels wers removed, and in portions of the city people began to enter through the front door and to purchase what they wanted in the regular way instead of being served at tables 1 the dining. 100m, whore all used to go. Since the confusion among the police, the reins of the saloon- keepers have been dropped and the voices of Doisterous crowds can e heard in the bar rouins on Sunday the same as on week days, A committee of one hundred is being talked of by the christian people of Washing- ton, the object being the enforcement of the Sunday law, and to try to make the morals the national capital equal to_places of less pretensions. ‘Lhe fact that Washington con- tains more intelligence, more refinement and educatiom, and more wealth than any - other city of its'size in the country is pointed to in illustration of the shame upon our people in connection with the fact that there is such little regard tor the sabbath, FATALITY OF RESIDENCE BUYERS, Senator Voorhees i3 credited with the re- wmark that every senator and representative who has bought property in Washington and moved his familw here fias been or will be defeated for re-election: that it is something that & statesman finds great difficulty in ex- plaining 1o his constituency this thing of taking his family from the ofd homestead to the capital of thie nation. Many voters, he thinks, cannot understand that it is done for economny and is 8 move in the line of respec- tability. ‘I'he act of removing, even tompor- arily, a family here is too often accepted as an abandonient of the old home, Deputy Commissioner of Pensions Me: bought & residence here the other whel surprise was expressed at his takin the risk of so doing, as there may be a change of administration soon, Le said 1 could not afford’' to rent.

Miss Cleveland is very much interested in a gociety here called the “Childten’s Christmas Club,” an organiza tion for the purpose of helpimg the little cnil: dren of the poor to Christmast toys and pretty things whigh their pavents are unable to procure. Postmaster General Vilas’ daughter is president of the club, and Miss Cleveland isone of its honorary members, “The members are very young Indies, none being more (han thirteen” or fourteen vears 1d, Miss Nellie; Acthur was president of the clab when her father was president, and a number of youne misses of the city are ac tive working memshors, while the list of hon- orary members, who are adults with abund- ance of pocket money, is very large. 1E SOLD 1178 INTEREST, Among the recent aceessions to the ranks of colonels, majort, Judwes and other good fellows who direct 1he ways of the statesmen in Washington, is Jim Nelson, ‘an_ex-mem- ber of the New York legislature and an tute and popular fellow with the boys. of these characters have a spot in_ the tory whicli has given them celebrity those with whom they float, and Jim is not alon: Recently he went to a well known ex-sen- ator here and told Jim that he would like to borrow a sum ol money—about $150. e said he had an interest in & patent which was agood thing and which was likely to be a bo- nanza, It was an arrangement to prevent electric lights from flickering.

Don'tdo it When a man is busted and wants money it's a good time to sell. - Why don’t you sell something? Soll me your interest.” George W, Cotbran, of Chieago, was aronnd the place and had an_ interest in Jim to the extent of 35, in the form of a loan, and he felt a tinkle in the trade, Maybe he' made a suggestion. At least, Jim finally struck an idea. He would sell 1o the ex-senator. So he sat down and. wroto out a bill, transfer- ring his “interest” in the patent for the amount reeeived, cashin hand, The ex-sen- ator paid over the money and felicitated hin- self upon the investment. Jim paid his debt to Cotbran. Time passed.

PHE NEW SIGNAL SERVICE PLAN Considerable talk las been oceasioned in siznal service eircles by the establishment of an independent system of meteorological ob- servations for public and private use along the Union Pacilic railroad company’s lines. The signal service of the United States has ed a lieutenant to take charze of tho e, and thirty stations ave to be estab lished at once. Since the inaugzuration this system a numbper of railroad companies throughout the country have communicated with the signal seryice bureau for the pur- pose of ascertaining the cost of malntaining A private sysiem of observation, and what encouragement tho government can lend to such projects. ‘Ilie purpose of the transpor- tation companics In making observations and promu'zating them along” their lines is two-fold—for their own _ guidanes ~in business affairs, and to help shippers in thelr work. ‘Three or four of the great south- stems will undoubtedly be sup- plied after the manner being instituted by the Union Pacific, and, within the next year, congress is to be asked to make provisions to establish them by the assignment of prac- ticed men for instituting a local signal ser- vice. The advantage of this indiyidual sys- tem work is in making it local. Unda it the inhabitants of small sections ‘of country, sueh as portions of states and counties, will be informed as to the cxisting state of weather, instead of Laving to depend upon generalities as now.
