NOT ONE GDILH MAN MUST ESCAPE. All Who Aldod or Abetted the Fight Equally Gollty Actual Freaence nt the Mill Not Ncceaaary to Coarlct of Crime SbIUtbb and Kllraln Indicted, but the Papers Not Yet Preaentod Nearly AH the Accuaed Preaent In Court The New York Con tingent Bllclitlly Worked Up Charge of Judge Terrill to the Jury More Than One Cnnse of Complaint Against Each Principal. A special term of the Criminal Court of Marion county, Miss., convened yesterday to investigate the Sullivan-Kilrain prize fight. The Judge's charge to the grand jury was a sweeping one, and leaves few loopholes of escape lor anyone who had any thing to do with the recent mill. The two principals were indicted in short order, but no papers were presented to the court yes terday. :ErZCUL TELEGBAX TO THE DISPJLTCII.1 Pubvis, Miss., August 12. The court called to try John L. Sullivan convened here this morning, with Judge S. H. Ter rill presiding and James H. Keville as Dis trict Attorney. The entire party who spent the night here, defendants, sheriff and jurors, were up early this morning. The people came here from miles around, the greater portion of them ont of curiosity. Sullivan and other defendants were in the best of humor, and Sullivan conversed with all who came in contact with him. Quite a crowd soon gathered about the depot, await ing the arrival of the train from Meridian, which came in on time, bringing Judge ) Terrill, District Attorney Keville and a number of attorneys. WHO TOE JUDGE "IS. Judge Terrill lives at Quitman, on tho Mobile and Ohio Railroad. He is a splen did specimen of physical manhood, speaks deliberately, and is considered a first-class jurist Most of his rulings have been con firmed by the Supreme Court The Judge stated that this special term of court had been called partly at the request of the Governor and partly from the de mands of the good people of Morion county, as made known through the public prints; and, furthermore, because the reg ular term of one week in December would be inadequate to the necessities which the prize fight would add to the regular busi ness ot the term. He therefore yielded, to what he thought to be the requirements of the public service, and called this special term to dispose of this special business. THE ACCUSED PEESEKT. All the accused are here except Fat Duffy, whose absence was accounted for by the Dis trict Attorney, who failed to notify him. General Superintendent Cjarroll, of the Queeu and Crescent, was not present, but the general belief is that he will not be in dicted by the grand jury. The foreman of the grand jury is T. E. "White, a mill owner and merchant at Poplarville. "When one of the stands at Richburg fell during the fight Mr. White was the only person injured. The grand jury are an intelligent body of men, and are highly spoken of by the citi zens. The Court charged the grand jury, in sub stance, that he entertained the suggestion for this special term with some hesitation and doubt, on account of the long circuit betore him, filling every week in the year; but rUBLIC SENTIMENT IN THE COUNTY , seemed to demand and expect it, and he Lyieldcd thereto. Since he has given in I court here a fall charge concerning the I various offenses indictable under the laws of the State, he would now omit their sepa rate mention, reminding the jury, however, that if any of them have been violated it was their duty to brine the offenders to justice. He called attention of the illicit sales of intoxicating liquors, and said: "But little need be said of the prize fight. If such took place the principals and all accessories be fore and after the fight are guilty of a mis demeanor. A fight by consent, withont anger or ill feeling, between two parties, without any reward or prize, would be a serious crime under our lsrws. Such crime, indeed, is not mentioned in the statute laws, and many other crimes, such as assaults, as sault and battery, riot and unlawful assem bly, are not mentioned, but are punishable at common law, which is declared to be the soblest birthright and the best heritage of mankind." COMMON LAW IN THE CAfjE. He then expatiated on the admirable "sys tem and the wisdom of the common law. He said that the Supreme Court of Mississippi naii again and again declared this system- as fully in force as if so declared by legislative enactment, and said: "And I so declare it to you, and you are bound by your con science to act upon the law declared to yon from this stand. Anger or ill will is not nscessary to constitute the crime of assault and battery, nor dees the consent of the party take away the guilt of the offense. A, .battery is any unlawful physical force, in flicting injury or hurt upon another, whether done in malice or wantonness. It need not be in anger." Jndge Terrill here gave special incidents a to w hat constitutes said offense, and said: "The infliction of any corporal hurt, unless by accident or misadventure, is an assault and battery. One is not justified in striking another, EXCEPT IN SELF-DEFENSE, and it ought to be known that whenever two persons go out to strike each other, and do, each is guilty of an assault "Such is the law where no reward or prize i ktated. "Where a prize was fought tor the crime was one more pronounced. That parties fight- ifigvithiista st a prise fight by consent, without ill will, are' guilty of assault, has been ruled by authority. Thus stood the law in Mississippi previous to 1882, and by that law the violators were liable to be fined $500 and to be imprisoned six months. In 1882, however, after Sullivan and Byan fought at Mississippi Citjr, the Legislature then in session passed a special statute en larging the penalties for crime." The Court called special attention to this statute, and said: "Gentlemen, a principal in the first degree is an actor. A principal in the second degree is one who is present, and who aids and abets, : ncites, procures, counsels and encourages th : offense. Under our law any person, WHETHER PSESENT OB ASSENT, who aids, assists, incites or encourages a crime, or who afterward comforts or assists the wrongdoer, is guilty of a misdemeanor. The law does not distinguish between de grees of guilt. "Gentlemen, look into thli matter, and if you findjthat there was a fight at Kichburg on the 8th oi July last, and that any prize or reward was put up or wagered thereon,or if any gate or seat fees were collected there at, by whomseever the prize was offered or the fees collected, although the fight may have been by agreement and without anger or ill will, yon will find an indictment against the actors, their aiders and abettors, for said crime of prize fighting. If, how ever.you find that there was a fight at Kich burg between parties to see which was the best man, and that physical yain was in flicted thereby, and if you find po evidence of any stake being put up thereon, or of any gate fees collected or fees for seats, then you will FIND AN INDICTMENT against tnem, the aiders And abettors, for an assault and battery, ven though the fight was by agreement and without anger or ill will, and with no intention of doing any hurt, except what mbht be incidental to the purpose of seeing who was the best man. 1 The grand jury then retired, with the District Attorney as lega adviser. A petit jury was then impaneled and a recess taken by the court until 2 p. tt. The court and grand jury adjourned a : a late hour this afternoon withont results There is great anxiety and excitement .J.'. .I. .........KnL. nKAfAB .villi almost a universal sympathy for the defend ants. The people hope to see Sullivan heavily fined, but object to his imprison ment, and they wish to, see the aiders and abettors go scot free. I ALL IN GOOD iriEITS. John L. Sullivan, Beferee Fitrpatrick, Bud Eenaud, Captain -Tom Jemison, Charles Eich, Superintendent E. I. Tyler, of the Queen and Crescent road, Harry Smith and Gibberts, the latter three being Eich's employes, were present in court ready for trial. The entire party are in good spirits, bnt anxious that the case shall be concluded as soon as possible. District Attorney Keville said to-night that he could not tell when the grand jury would return any indictments. While de termined to vindicate the law, the jury would have to have fnll and satisfactory proof before making any finding. He knew that one of the grand jurymen is one of the bondsmen for some ot the accused, but he has not objected to him because he knew the gentleman too well to have any fear on that account. CAXINOT COMPROMISE IT. Mr. Keville stated that some suggestions of compromise had been made, to him, but said be could cot listen to any proposition until the grandjnryhadreschedVsome.de cision. He cannot accept Stay ''compromise, but can recommend one to the Court, which is the tribunal in the matter. He could not say what "would happen. For the present, he was attending to the grand jury. Nothing to-night indicated that the grand jury had done anything to-day. Careful interviewing with the accused snowed that they were not aware that the grand jury nad found an indictment to-day against Sullivan and Kilrain. Althonghithey have not presented the indictment to the court, it was agreed upon. District Attorney Keville was asked to night if Sullivan and Kilrain have been in dicted, on what charge could it be? After a few seconds pause, he replied: "Well, on different counts prize fighting, assault and battery, gambling," etc. The indictments may not be presented to the court until late to-morrow afternoon. THE 'SPORTS DISMAYED. Nono of Them Are Anxious to Take a Dose of Mississippi Justice Eminent Lawyer to be Engnged to Defend Them Agalnat Extradition. Kbw Yoke, August 12. When the news reached the city this forenoon that a Mississippi grand Jury had found indict ments against the New Yorkers who had taken a hand in the prize fight by "aiding and abetting," there was consternation among the sports, and it was deemed ex pedient to take some decided steps to pro tect "their rights" as American citizens. A small coteris of Sullivan's sympathisers and backers got together and figured on the particular individuals. Governor Lowry. of Mississippi, would ask Governor Hill, of Kew York, to surrender to him. It was quite a list they made out and here are some of the principal members: William Mul doon, Charlie Johnston. James Wakelv, Jack Barnitt, Michael Cleary, Jack Cusictc, Daniel Murphy, Charlie Henkle, William H. Gordon, Arthur Lumley, Frederick Willeta and Thaddeus Elcb. These gentlemen were either direct v or 'indirectly aiders and abettors in behalf of me great joun xi. uaiuBDuicrBiueui mc house the men selected as victims of Governor Lowry's vengeance, aside from Jake Kilrain. are Frank Stevenson, Will iam E. Harding, Mike Donovan, Denny Butler, Eichard K. Fox, Lewis B. Allen. Ed Mallohan, Billy Madden, Billy O'Brien and Pat Sharkey. Lewis B. Allen, in the law office of Howe & Hummel,ls the gen tleman who planked down $5,000 in the Clipper office tor Kilrain. It was said late this afternoon that the adherents of both parties had agreed to raise a flag of truce, shake hands, and see each other through. One scheme reDorted was in effect that the partv should go South and surrender to the Governor. But the scheme 'most favored was to engage eminent counsel and make a big fight before going South It was sug gested that Colonel Eobert G. Ingersoll, Daniel Dougherty and Burke Cockran be retained in their behalf. If such a trio could be secured to defend them they felt well satisfied Governor Hill, after hearing the facts, would emphatically refuse to honor Governor Lowry's requisition. Ef. torts will probably be made within 24 hours to retain these leading members of the Kew York county bar. IT MAT BK SERIOUS IET.'

TzxsaaAHTOTUx sispatcim Elizabeth, K. J., August 12. "Jack the Peeper," the nocturnal fiend of Eliza beth, had fresh allies to assist him in terri fying the inhabitants of Elizabeth port Sun day night. Burglars, emboldened by Jack's success in evading the sleepy police, took a hand in the fun and tackled three houses in one block of South Park street, near the principal thoroughfare of the town. The first place cracked was Harry Kennedy's, an engineer. Tho thieves crawled in his brother's bedroom window, took a pair of pantaloons and a vest off the chair at his bedside to a lounge near the window, and rifled the pockets of 34., They next ran sacked some of the other rooms, until the barking of a dog drove them away. They afterward visited James Keating's, across the way, and Kicholas Labisher's, two doors above, but in both places the noise) they made aroused the inmates and the thieves fled. ( Meanwhile, the "Peeper" was roaming, as usual, in another part of the town, and took a shutter off Martha Gartz's hoise, on East Jersey street, and partly raised the window, but was frighted away by some persons passing. -He next turned ,up at a house on Fourth street, near Pine, when he was detected crawling on his hands tmd knees throuzh the hallway. An alarm was raised by the inmates, who tried to catch him, but the fellow was too nimble for them, and escaped by springing through a window. He as also reported as trying to effect an entrance to a house on Franklin street, near Third, but a watchful dog drove him away. The police this morning seemed in bliss ful ignorance of all these goings on of the thieves and miscreants, and had no reports of it on the police blotte. Kot so, however, with Father Gessner. He had heard of the raid early, and visited the houses that were burglarized long before the police called there to investigate. The results of the clergyman's observations will likely be given to his congregation next Sunday. What is most surprising, as showing the utter recklessness and lack of fear of de tection on the part of the criminals, is that the entire raid took place while the moon was shining brightly, making the streets almost as light as day, and yet nota police man could be found next morning who knew anything at all about it. AN ATTiCK ON Tflll! PUBLIC PRINTER. A Discharged Employe Opens a Pamphlet Battery Upon Him. tspzenx. Tzxxoimi to tub disp atcii.2 Washington, August 12. Frank W. Palmer was attacked in print this afternoon by Edward W. Oyster, the hold-over Ee publican foreman of the specification room at the Government printing office,, whom he discharged some ten days ago after Oyster refused to resign. The assault was contained in a pamphlet of four pages, headed, "Poli tics Versus Unionism," and in it Oyster pro ceeds lb show as well as he can that when he was discharged from the Government print ing office all the trades unions in America received a direct insult. Hundreds of these circulars reached the printers this afternoon through the mails, and were distributed under the very eyes ot the Public Printer himself. Oyster has been employed in the Govern ment printing office since 1867. According to his own testimony before the Printing Office Investigating Committee of the Houte, last winter, he himself was a foreman in the Government printing joffieev lis brother was a watchman there, two of bis nephews were messenger and apprentice respectively, his mother-in-law was in the bindery, his wife was in the land office and his. son had a Government position in anotherdepartment.

Delegates to the Virginia Democratic Convention, which meets Wednesday, are nrriving rap idly. They report the State generally stirred up at the prospect oi Mahone's nom ination by the Eepublicans, and predict one of the bitterest fights ever known in Vir ginia. Wednesday's convention will be the largest political body ever assembled in Vir ginia. "We are down in the mouth about the crops, but we have got enough life left to enjoy a good crack at Mabone," said a burly farmer to-night, and this seems to be the sentiment of all. Eichard F. Beirne, of Eichmond; P. W. McKinney, of Prince 'Edward; Charles T. O'Ferrall, of Buckingham, and S. W. Ven able, of Petersburg, are the leading Candi dates for the Governorship. Beirne and McKinney will go into the convention with the largest number of votes. A weu in formed politician predicts that the ticket will be McKinney and Tiller. I AB THE RESULT OP A QUARREL The Inside History of a Murder Is No Diode Public. Pottsville, Pa., August 12. On the morning of Kovember 15 last the body of Patrick Lafferty, 21 years of age, and un married, was found in the bed of a small creek that runs through Mahanoy county. The body bore marks of foul play, having a gash on the head and one ear cut off. When last seen alive, the night before, Lafferty was intoxicated and apparently on his way home. There was a dance in progr ess at a Hungarian boarding house near the spat where the body was found, and the general supposition was that Lafferty had intruded upon the scene and been set upon and struck with a natcnet Dy tne revelers ana tnen thrown into the creek. Ko evidence of a murder could be ob tained, however, and no arrests were made, and finally the affair died put. Yesterday, as the result of a quarrel, one of 'the Hun garians present at the dance made informa tion against unanes Adams, a troie, as tne party who killed Lafferty and Adams was arrested and lodged in jail in this city to day.

PUBLIC TRIALS AT PHILADEPHIA. Seven People Treated According to the Host Approved Manner. A BI BATCH OF OASES AT CLEYELAKD. lilrtyJwo Persons el Both Sexes Try the Brown Scaurd Dlscorcrj. The interest in the alleged elixir of life continues to increase. Experiments of a thorough nature are now being made in all parts of the United States. Some of these are upon a very extensive scale. rSFECXU. TELXOBAK TO im DISPATCH.l Philadelphia, August 12. Dr. Henry C. Boenning, of the Medico Chirurglcal Hospital, to-day made the first public tests in this city of Dr. Brown-Sequard's alleged elixir of life. The experiments were all suc cessful, so far as the practical application of liquid was concerned, but nothing has yet been developed as to the results. Many prominent medical and other pro fessional men had been invited, and among those present are Dr. William F. Waugh, Professor of Principle and Practice of. Medicine and Clinic Surgery; Professor J. E. Garretson, President of the Board of Trustees; Dr. Harrison Mettler, the resident physician, who has just returned from Europe, where ho saw operations performed in the Parisian hospitals; Dr. Isaac Barton, Dr. W. S. Stewart, Dr. Montgomery, Dr. King, Dr. Wood and others. Seven people were treated with the solution which Dr. Brown-Sequard claims to be capable not only of revitalizing exhausted individuals, but also of rejuvenating those who are suffer ing from the effects of old age. The opera tions were performed in a private room of the hospital, and the patients were admitted one at a time. THE FIBST SUBJECT. Dr.Boenning did the experimenting, using for that purpose a small silver syringe with a very fine needle point The first one to offer himself for the operation was an old white haired man, Andrew Drummond, who is 67 years old, and has been suffering from neurasthenia. He received an injection of one-half drachm of the solution into his right arm, close to the elbow. It was found that it disturbed the skin, and raised a large wheel which was pale in color, but speedily turned red. The swelling became diffused fand in a little time reddish streaks appeared, passing up toward the shoulder. About ten minutes later the patient complained of some full ness in the head and confusion of ideas. These symptoms, however, rapidly passed away, leaving a great sense of lightness and exhilaration. James Henderson, CO years old, a teacher of Latin, was the next patient. He also suffers from rheumatism and has been a chronic sufferer from severe pain in the loins. Ko apparent result was observable in his case. Benjamin Phillips, 41 years old and a convalescent in the hospital, was the third subject. The man, who is still suffering from melancholia, was treated the same as the others. James Kerby. 21 years old, another patient, in the hospital who is suffering from general 'debility and a run-down system was also operated on. AMAETTBTO SCIENCE. Dr. John B. Cassidy, of Trenton, is only zi years old and wunoui single complaint or Illness, but he submitted as a "martyr of science." He volunteered to allow thJ infection so as to note the Dhvsiolotrical effects. The result was plainly marked for a while. There was a flush ing of the .face, some excitation! oi the Dulse and a eliirht nausea. These symptoms passed off in the course of half an hour, leaving the patient, as on the first oc-j casion, in a state of buoyancy and exhilara-l tion. Other injections were made into the arms of several newspaper men who were present and were longing for some of the famous solution. They were proof against it, however, and none of them showed any signs of being affected by the operation. Dr. Boenning, in sneaking of the tests, said he was still skeptical as to their final results. The elixir will be applied to the same patients to-morrow. A dispatch from Cleveland says: Within a few days the public will, in all probabil ity, have settled convictions concerning Brown-Sequard's elixir of life. The question of the efficacy of restor ing lost energy and building up wasted systems, was submitted to-day to a jury, as intelligent probably as could have been selected. It was not a jury of 12, which is considered sufficient for the ends of justice, but a tribunal of 32 ladies and gentlemen. A inoEOucn test. That their verdict might have weight in the scientific world especial care was tatca in selection. The first requisite was that they should have some positive ailment The next consideration was jthat they should be persons of sound intelligence and good standing in the community. Dr. H. C. Braincrd, in conducting the experiment, made "a number of tests on a small scale as has been done in other cities, and then determined upon a final trial oi the new energy-generator. He pro ceeded in the work of making the final experiments with care and close atten tion to details. .In the morning he visited Brighton and was given the privilege of selecting victims for tne- slaughter from a large flock of sheep. They were killed in his presence, and, after having secured the parts desired for the ex periments, he started to the city. The jurors, who were qualified for service by having the fluid injected into their systems comprised 24 men and 8 women. There were attorneys, doctors, ministers andJidsiness men. One was a lightning manipulator, who was suffering from telegraphers paralysis. It was arranged that they should make a written statement of the effects of the experiment, and to-morrow afternoon they will submit the repvrts. SCIEHTIPIO eepoets. In a large number of the cases two reports will be reqnlrgd. Upon receiving the state ments, Dr. Brainerd will compile a concise and perfectly candid report of the result of the experiment He feels that his scientific reputation is in a measure at stoke, and he will present the situation In its proper light If the experiment ii a complete failure the report will say so, and if it is followed by the fullest measure of success, 'that fact will be dulvset forth. It is probably the first test made in a tiys tematio manner, and will be the first scien tific report given to the public Among Dr. Braiuerd's ciillers to-day was a Mr. Vader, living at No. 69 Hoadley street. He has been suffering from a spinal trouble known as locomo tor ataxis, and received an injection of the elixir several days ago. He said to-day and his appearance In dicated as much that he was greatly improved. Mr. Vader was given another allowance of the fluid, being the first man to hom tlie"doctor has given a second injection. His case will be watched with a great deal of interest, that it may be ascertained whether or not tie has received penuBant jbsaefii, ' AUGUST 13, 1889. EEALLY PEMARKABLE. The Now Elixir Enjoying a Great Boom In Weatern Ohio. rsrZCUL TXLIQnXM TO THE DtSMTClM Lima, August 12. Several interesting experiments were made here to-day with the Dr. Brown-Sequard elixir. Drs. Cur tis, Metrgar and Terrilliger prepared" tne first elixir made in this city this morning at Cunningham's drug store. Dr. Metzgar injected tsome of the fluid Into his own arm, and an hour after ward said he felt as if he had taken a gopd sued drink of liquor. Mrs. Thompson, an aged lady living on North street, who has been laid up with rheumatism for over n. wjr. was treated. LShe was suffering intensely at the time, but ouer tne japse ot an nour declared sne leu bettcrand the pain had left her. Elisha Maguire, an old soldier who has had paralysis since the war, had three drachms injected into his system, and this evening is walking upon the streets without the use of a cane. Paustus steward, a well-known colored cjan, 78years oldj' was treated for rheuma tism. He says to-night that he has not felt si well for ten years. (George Both, who has been confined to his bed for the past year, suffering from loco motor ataxia, was visited and given an in jection. He was afterward able to cross his legs and put his hand to his head, which he had not done for many months, A number of other experi ments were tried and they all proved satis factory. The elixir is enjoying a genuine boom here. WITH GBATIPTIKG RESULT8. A Hon Stricken With Paralyala Now Walks Without a Cane. Memphis, August 12. The virtue of the Brown-Sequard elixir was tested hero this afternoon with gratifying results. The anbject was a man nearly 70 years of age, who has been in bad health for years past and who, about a year ago, suffered a stroke of paralysis which af fected the entire right side. He has been unable to close his right hand or raise his right arm ever since and has been able to walk only with extreme difficulty. The effect of the operation was very soon perceptible. In the course of five minutes the patient was able to raise his arm above his head and had the grip of a man in the full vigor of manhood. He walked home without the aid of his cane, and at 11 o'clock to-night was reported to be improving. A SUCOESSFDIiTEIAL. The Beneficial Effect of the Elixir Upon a Sonthero Doctor.

One of the most romantic incidents that has ever oc curred in that most romantic of spots,, the Switzerland of America, occurred on Satur day night on the Switchback road. Mrs. Theodore L. Mumford, wife of the proprie tor of the Switchback, had announced and made preparations for a moonlight ride over the novel road, and 25 or SO guests had been summoned to take the ride and enjoy n spread at Summit Hill. The party was about starting on the home ward journey down the mountain side when two gentlemen and a lady approached Mr. Mumford and asked- permission to return with them. Said one of the gentlemen: "This (introducing the blushing woman) is my prospective bride. About ten years ago we agreed that when we were married we would have the knot tied on the Switch back. We had a lovers' quarrel, and I went to San Francisco. About a year ago we began corresponding again, and last night we determined to carry out our ro mantic intentions.

Mr. HcKte Says That Something Will Drop Before tna lien Are Setarsed. President Campbell is still confident that the foreign glass workers will not be returned to Europe. He is not at all satis fied with the manner of conducting the in vestigation. Secretary Windom expects very soon District Attorney Lyon's answer to his request for more information in the case, when he will be able to announce his decision. James Campbell, the President of the Window Glas3 Workers Union, returned yesterday from Washington Springs, in or der to be present at the meeting with the manufacturers to-day. It is expected that an amicable settlement of the wage question will be arrived at, although Mr. Campbell stated last night that he was not in a posi tion to say what the result would be. It is possible, however, that the meeting will.be postponed until after the 1st of September, because the Eastern manufacturers have in timated that they do not care tostart their factories until September 15. , Mr. Campbell was also asked as to the position his organization would take in re gard to the investigation of the imported glassworkers. "We cannot do anything," he said, "un til we know the disposition made of the af fair by the Secretary of the Treasury. But I can assure you that we will stand or fall with the men, and we will not let them go back without a fight So far there has only one side of the question been heard. A thbust at lyoh. "Mr. Lyon, the District Attorney, evi dently thought it unnecessary to come to ns and ask for our side of the story, because he has not received any statement except what the opposition had to say. I am sur prised that he did not do so, because we would have given him all the chances pos sible to acquaint himself with the details of the entire affair. "If the men are ordered back it means that we have brought them over illegally, and that is the point which we have always contradicted, and we mean to defend it to the very last. When we established the federation of labor we did so on the basis that it would net conflict with the contract labor law. "These men came over by their own volition. They did not take other men's places, they were at liberty to lea've again the next day if they felt to inclined. They were members of the union and they belonged to the Knights of Labor. a false rssnrcATioir, "Our oppenentshave alwavs implied that we obtained some consideration for our part of the contract, because there could not be a costract"nnlessoiiecf the parties received some consideration. Now, I again affirm that nothing was done' in the matter with out the full indorsement of our organiza tion. All the members who attended the various meetings were cognizant of all that was being done in the matter. As for any consideration, none of us received any more than you did. "Bnt pshawl the whole matter will only end in smoke. I have told 'you so all along, and you will yet come to think that I am right You may rest assured that these men will not be sent back, and if Mr. Lyon or Mr. Eobert Layton had come to us their opinion upon the whole matter would have been different altogether." Mr. Sellers H. McKee, the partner of Mr. Chambers, of the Jeannette Glass Works) left for Maysville last night A Dispatch representative had an oppor- the train pulled out of the depot, andVhen he was asked what he would do in the matter in case the men were ordered back to En gland he said: "Two minutes and a half after the Secretary of the Treasury orders tne men to go Daoc we win ao someining. Yon, wait, and you will see." MAT STOP THE CASE. A special dispatch from Washington says: Secretary Windom was at his desk in the Treasury Department to day for the first time in a week, and will remain on duty for several days at least before he takes another outing. He expects District Attorney Lyon to re spond very soon to the letter sent him last week requesting further information in re gard to tne Jeannette glass workers' case, and if so he will speedily decide whether suit shall be brought and the imported glass workers sent back to England. It is apparent from conversations held by The Dispatch correspondent with officials of tne department tnat tnere is a disposition to drop tne whole matter unless a contract can be morev clearly proved than appears from the evidence in hand. Upon a first reading of the report ot the District Attor ney it was the impression that the case was a good one from this showing, but a closer reading satisfied the law clerks that some thing more specific would have to be discov ered to warrant the Government in proceed ing to the length of a suit. HAED TO SUSTAIN. One of these officials said to-day that if District Attorney Lyon based his opinion that there was a contract wholly upon the evidence presented it -would require ex traordinary legal acumen and positive prec edent to sustain him. It is not asserted ab solutely that an implied contract cannot be proved from the evidence already adduced, but it is thought that the point would be a very delicate one, upon which it would be difficult to' 'convict, and the Government does not desire, and it is presumed, the Dis trict Attorney would not desire to enter suit unless success were reasonably certain. It is shown in the evidence that somebody in Local Assembly 300, Knights of Labor, wrote to somebody In England saying that if a number of glassworkers would come to Pittsburg they could find work. Upon this tbey came and were met at the station by en agent of Chambers & McKee, and taken to Jeannette. While this plan may have been ADOPTED TO EVADE THE LAW, it is the opinion of the law officials of the department that a suit can hardly be suc cessful based on this vague implication ot a contract One or two of the glassworkers made affidavit that they thought there wa a contract, but what "they thought" is looked upon as no evidence of what was the fact. The letter of Mr. Lyon was merely intended to have the effect of drawing out any further matter discoverable bearing ou the question, that it might be available for the use of the Secretary upon his return. As stated in The Dispatch last week. Assistant Secretary Batcheller will have nothing to do.with the case. It will go to the Secretary himself. He may possibly decide what to-do upon the opinion rendered by the chiel of the miscellaneous room, but in the event of the case .being found to be more involved than is now anticipated, it will be referred to the Sollcitorof the Treas- j nrr, that fee 4w stay pus opea it.

The Tribune of this morning says: The recently published report that prominent manufacturers of table glassware in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia had combined to form an immense trust, with its headquarters in Pittsburg, was pretty generally canvassed in the glassware trade yesterday. The general opinion expressed was that while the proposed combination, if effected, would prove a strong one, it would not be able to control the output of glassware, or successfuly manipulate the market for that article.

Tne sitna tion in Edgefield after midnight of Satur day and during Sunday was intensely in teresting and exciting, and is worthy of re counting in detail. The acquittal of Tel dell bad greatly aggravated the intensa feeling of Blackwell's friends, from the; "Dark Corner" of the county. These weret desperate men, and, as stated in these dis-f patches last night, they were outspoken in their determination to kill Teldell on sight It was discovered after midnight that sen tinels had been posted on the road leading: out of town, and placed in a cornfield back; of the jail, in order to intercept Teldell in, case he should leave Edgefield. An ordeff for the prisoner's release had been signed by the Judge, bnt not presented to the Sheriff as it was intended that he should remain is jail until morning. A double hight -watch. The Edgefield Bifles guarded the jail alC night When daylight came it was seen) that the Blackwclls and their "Dark Cor) ner" mob were still on the lookout, ami Sheriff Oucti declared that an attack on th road was certain, if they attempted to re move Teldell from the jail to Trenton. Then? Mr. Benet and the Sheriff visited Judgo; Pressley and laid the facts before him. That Judge declared that peace warrants ought to be sworn out at once against the Blackwellat and every man associated with them; that) they should be arrested and searched for, concealed weapons, and he pledged himself to put them all in jail until they gave good) surety to keep the' peace. All who had con-' cealed weapons should be prosecuted. Evenrt man patroling the road should be arrested it it took COO men to do it , Sheriff Oucti objected to swearing out ther warrants himself, and while he was looking? for some one to perform this duty, tha Blackwells left the town and went no ozfo knows where. HOW THE STAET WAS MADE. It was only a few minutes before the stars' that the outsiders knew of the purpose to remove Teldell. Th,e sheriff in command of the posse entered tho jail and escorted Teldell out at 2.45 P. 31. Headed by Messrsv Benet and Kchols, the Jbody moved half a, mile to the station, where they embarked ia a combination car attached to the engine. In a few minutes the train was flying at full speed, toward Trenton, which was safely reached, and the sheriff and Solicitor Kel son, who had accompanied the party, got off and returned to idgeneld. Teldell came out of the jail wearing a very sober face, and did not smile fill ha had passed Trenton. He wore a flannel, shirt and had taken off his coat His only baggage consisted of two pairs of handcuffs, which he had been loaned in Pittsburg and. had worn on his trip South. He evaded at direct answer to almost every question. Hiaj concessions of fair treatment were niggardly. He said he was not much scared Saturday night. He intended to study atWilbef force College, Ohio, for the ministry, begin1 ning next month. His confectionery bnsi nes3 in Pittsburg had been broken up and he could not return to it at this time of tho year. He had been treated very nicely ia jaU. TREATED VEEV PAIELT. The prosecution, he thought, had been, fair. He was inclined to deny all knowl. edge of the killing of Blackwell, but finally admitted that he was there. He said he did not know a warrant was out for him, but had heard from his family that a posse had been to his house after him that night Her said he was armed only with a pistol; that he never had a shotgun in his life, and that ne did not snoot at all. He exhibited a scar on his left wrist, and stated that he had been shot there by the) posse when the house was surrounded. Ho professed not to know the reason for tha presence of this guard about him, and would not admit that it waa creditable lo th e Edgefield people. On this line. Colonel Echols declares that,. if Teldell does not acknowledge the hand some manner in which he has been treated, he (Colonel Echols) will pnblicly denounces him. WHAT MADE HIM SMILE. At Aiken a swarm of colored peop!e gathered to see Teldell. The rest of tho trip to Columbia was accomplished without notable incidents, except a raid on a water melon patch near Bamberg. Teldell's com posure-now came back to him, and wheal Colonel Echols handed him a piece of tha heart of a huge melon a smile broke over-' his face. The Edgefield boys made the trip enjoy) bletoall. They joked and sangold-tima, plantation songs and negro campmeetin;; hymns, which Mr. Benet and Colonel Echols at times joined in heartily. In summing the events of the last 21 hours the fact must be emphasized that that there was no danger to Teldell from any one in Edgefield, except the tough from the "Dark Corner," and not much from them.
