WILL CLOSE UP THE GAMBLERS, The Murphy Temparance Meetinga— The Gymnasium Pupl's—The Boat Ctub Wak 8 up—Gene eral and Personal. The Dge-Throwing Tragedy. The third day’s trial of tho Helmick mur- der case, as it is called, drew o larger audi- ence than on either of the preceding days. There was even soms demand for standing room. Inside the bar there appearea for the first time Mrs. Palmer, tho widow of the man whom the defendant killed, and her mother, Mrs. Porter. Both were dressed in deep mourning. Next to them were scated Rev. Mr. Helmick and his family. A large number of ladies were also inside the railing and several of the prominent clergymen of the city. Much interest was manifest, es- pecially in the cross-examination of those witnesses for the state who admitted that they were members of the gang which was bent on assaulting the preacher and thus get- ting even for his interference in the wooing of Palmer and in uttering from the puipit scathing criticisms of Sunday baseball and every day saloons. Tlo first witness yesterday was a young man named Sweenoy, He was one of the gang that went to Helmick’s house for the purpose of egging him. He claimed that so far us ho knew, the only purposa was to throw eggs, and that there was no idea of doing bodily harm. None of the party had weapons, except eggs, 8o far as he Knew. They might have had them, thougn, He joined the gang at the solicitation of Palmer, who, according to all the witnesses, seemed to be the ringleader. Sweeney had been tending bar and playing baseball. He had heard that Rev. Mr. Helwick had sad that no one of any decency would engage in base- ball on Sunday and had made other uncom- plimentary remarks in a_sermon one -Sun- day night. Such remarks had aroused the ndignation of some of the boys, but the witness denied that it had led him to make threats against Helmick, He admitted that he had repeated a remark made by one of the other boys tbat if Helmick made any more such statements in his sermon he would get a lively shaking up. The witness denied originating this statement, or endorsing it, but simply that he toid someone else that an- other of the boys said this. Young Sweeney testified that shortly before the party went to the house to egg Helmick, the day of the shooting, he was warned by City Marshal Sells not to go. Selis asked him if the boys were goivg to egg Helmick tnat night, and said that if they did it would be the worst thing they ever did. He communicated the warning to the other boys, but they went just the same. He was afraid there was Zoing to be trouble, and so made different excuses to get away. He vent to the church to see il Helmick was there, he not being at nome, and afterwards went down town to see if he could find out about him, leaving the other boys watching at the house. The eggs were brovided by Palmer, and divided up among the gang, each having ubout six. The great interest of the day centered the examination of Dave Oliver, who was with Palmer in Helmick’'s barn when the shooting occurred. Oliver is a low-browed, coarse-featured, suliky acting sort of fellow, whose appearance in the witness stand was by no means a favorable exhibit for the state, if he was a fuir sample df the material whiah made up the egg throwing surprise par He was at first much embarrusse being called upon to speak before so large an audience on so delicate a subject. As he oc- cupied the chair most of the day he ot a lit- tle used to it, and so far recovered his a dacity as to be able occasionally to give a pert answer to some distusteful Cross-ques- tion. For the most part he answered with such a low mumble that he had to be con~ stantly admonished of the danger he was cauging to the outstretched necks of the jurymen who were irying to . catch his words. Ho also had a faraway look aimed at the opposite side of the room. His memory was as bad as bis mumoling, and in ihe hands of Attorney Sims, who cross-oxamined him sharply, he seemed to be undergomg a massagé and sweat treat- ment. Oliver testified that he went with® Palmer to Helmick’s barn to get the horse. While there Helmick returaed, and shouted, “Get out of my barn.” Paimer jumped out of the door and threw sometning, He sup- posed it was an egg. It was 8o dark that he could not distinguish Helmick except by his voice. Helmick fired ana Palmer jumped back into the varn. Helmick told them to come out and he would not shoot. They hurried out and joined the other fellows in the street, and then they went down town. Oliver hurriad out of Neola, going to Avoca, but returned in a day or two. Jim Hardmar, & teamster, was the next witness. He lived in the same block as Helmick, right across the alley from the barn. Heo was in his yard, heard the shot and after the shot heard Helmick say, *‘Get out of my barn.” He hurried to Helmick’s barn with another man, who was visiting at his house, and was soon joined by another neighbor. He disagreed from the otlfer witnesses in the order of the shot and the shout and also in regard to the darkness of the nmight. The state huas a theory that it was not so dark but that Helmick dis- tinguished Palmer before he shot, and shot because of the animosity between them. The defense had shown from the state's own witnesses that a man could not distinguish another more than a fow fect away, Hard- man made the distance thirty feot, in his opinion, On cross-examination an attempt was made to get the witness to admit that he had an animosity agaiust Helmick because he thought that Helmick suspected him of having stolen grain from this very barn, The witness denied this stoutly, aud denied having madn any threats. Dr. Harvey was called to testify as to the nature ot the wound of which Palmer died, il e A. Adler of Chicago has just oponed the largest wholesale and retail manufacturing establishment for picture frames and mould- ings in the west. Before really establishing his business here his wife's heaith failed, and he compelled to return to Chicago, For this reason he has determined to sell at wholesale and retail the entire stock of over 5,000 metal leaf ana hard wood frames, with several thousuud fine pictures, etehings, ote., at any sacrifice the public demands. 211 Broadway o L ‘Wall paper at popular prices at the Boston Store, Second floor, - C. 1. steamdye works, 1013 Broadway s SR Desirable dwellings for rent at reduced prices by E.

Alderman Lacy wanted it referred to the finance committee, but Mr. Weaver, who is chairman of that committee, would not have it so. It was finally referred to the other memb~rs of the committee. “The bill of the waterworks company was again taken ap and it was decided to allow the amount due for 200 fire hydrants at $100 per annum each and twenty-five hydrants at §75 oach. : Several election bills were allowed, in- cluding pay for registrars and boards of eledtion, A. C. Graham appeared before the council with reference to tho umount due property owners by the electric motor company. He claimed that where the track of the company was nearer ona side than the other, the owner of property on that side was entitled to more of the money due from the company than the owner of the property on the other side of the street. The matter was discussed atsome length and finally referred to the judiciary committee. Alderman Everett then introduced an or- dinance providing that hereafter the salaries of the city marshal and chief of nolice be fixed at $1,500 per annum, in lieu of the fees or other receipts that might acrue to said of- fices. A motion to pass it to its second read- ing failed to carry, as Alderman Waterman voted no. It then went over under the rules. An ordinance adopting the plat of Madison park was passed to i1ts second reading and finally passed. A. J. Mandel appeared before the council and protested against the paying for a wash- out which resulted from the negiect of the city engineer, and the desired relief waa grauted.

After some minutes the presiding officer (Ingalls) informed the senate that the ser aeant-at-arms had just reported that there were twenty-two senators in the restaurant; they had been all notitied to attend and they had declined to do so. Inafew minutes, however, several disobedient secnators en- tered and explained that they were discuss- Ing the merits ot two Columbin river salmon, weighing between thirty-five and forty pounds each, which had been shippea to Colonel Montgomery of Portland, Ore., who was visiting Washington, and by him served up for the delectation of his friends in the upper house, The chair anpounced that as there was a quorum now_present and as 2 o'clock had arrived the educational bill was before tho senate as unfinished business and the Warren peusion bill would remain on the calendar.

House. ‘WasHiNaToN, March 5.—In the house to- day the consideration of the Arkansas elec- tion case of Featherstone vs Cate was re- sumed and the contestee was accorded the floor to speak in his own behalf. Mr. McRae of Arkansas in a four-minute speech detended and eulogized the people of his state. Mr. Houk§ of &Tennessce, who has charge of the case for the majority of the committec on elections, mude a presentation of the claims of the contestant. In conclu- sion Mr. Houk urged that the colored psople of the south should be given a fair chance. “No man can hold a seat on this fioor who was returned by means ot rifles, clubs and fraudulent ballot boxes.”” He was in favor of a national election law. At the conclu- sion of his speech Mr. Houk demanded the previous question. Mr. Hill of Illinois (rep.), who is supposed t0 be opposed to the claims of Featherstone, rose and asked unanimous consent to ad- dress the house. There was a good deal of excitement exhibited during ‘the roll call, and the vote was very close. It resulted— Yeas, 145; nays, 141. So the previous ques- tion was ordered, Mr. Outhwaite' then offered as a substi- | tute for the firat resolution reported by the majority, declarinr Cate not entitled to his seat, @ resolution declaring Featherstone not ‘entitled to it.

Mr. Speaker—The house will be in order. The gentlemen will take their seats and cease conversation. Mr, Crisp, who was standing 1n one of the aisies, objected to being pointed oat. Mr. Speaker—The chair did not point out the gentleman. After a heated argument between the speaker and Mr, Crisp, the latter said: *“The only point I desire to make is that the speaker goes too far when after ho has ob- tained order and a gentleman is attempting to find his seat, business is suspended and an individual member pointed outin this way."” Mr. Speaker—The chair does not think any gentleman ought to consider himself any exception to the request made by the speaker that the gentlomen should take their seats. The vote declaring Cate not clected was— yeas, 147; nays, 138; and Featherstono was Beated by—yeas, 145; nays, 135, and the oath of ofice was administered to hm by the speaker. Adjourned.

Coughing § Nature's effort to expel foreign sub- stances from the bronehial passages. Frequently, this causes inflammation and the need of an anodyne. No other expectorant or anodyne is equal to Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It assists Nature in ejecting the mucus, allays irritation, induces repose, and is the most popular of all cough cures. «Of the many preparations before the ublic for the cure of colds, coughs, bronchitis, and kindred discases, there is none, within the range of my experi- ence, 80 reliable as Ayer's Cherry Pece toral. For years I was subject to colds, followed by terrible coughs. About four years ago, when so afllicted, I was ad- vised to try Ayer's Cherry Péctoral and to lay all other remedies aside. I did 80, and within a week was well of my cold and cough. Since then I have always kept this preparation in the house, and feel comparatively secure.” — M8, L. L. Brown, Denmark, Miss. “A fow years ago I took a severe cold which affected my lungs. I had a rible cough, and night after night withe 10 doctors gave mo up. I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, Which reliev lungs, induced sleep, and afforded the rest necessy y for the recovery of my strength. By the con- tinual use of the toral, & _permanent cure was effected.”~Horace Fairbrother, Rockinghaw, V. Ryer's Gherry Pectoral, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Bold by all Druggists.
