TRIAL OF A MINISTER.
Rev. C. II. Lincoln's Case Abounded In
Spieo and Was Marked by a Warm
Conflict.
Pittsburg, ra.. July 1. The trial of
the Rev. C. B. Lincoln was begun In
the First Cumberland Presbyterian
church this morning and evoked a
warm conillot.
The charges against Rev. Lincoln
are: First, false ami slanderous accu
sation against brethren; second, stif
fing up strife ami dissensions; third,
otllclal unfitness and misconduct;
fourth. Insubordination and contempt
of presbytery.
Moderator McMillon Appointed a
committee to confer with the Rev. Lin
coln for the purpose, if possible, of ar
riving at some amlcublo settlement.
The committed presently returned,
stating that thi-Ir mission was abortive.
To this Rev. Lincoln objected, claiming
that the proceedings were Illegal, and
thst the charges were wrong from first
to last.
There were frequent warm passages
between the moderator and Rev. Lin
coln, during which the latter nccus?d
Moderator McMillon with having In
sulted his wife. To substitute this ac
cusation, Rev. Lincoln appealed to his
wife, who was present, but she was not
permltttd to substantiate the charges.
Rev. Lincoln Intimated that had he
been present at the time his wife was
Insulted he would have tried conclu
sions with 'the moderator on the street.
The moderator threatened to have Rev.
Lincoln ejected from the court, but the
accused warmly replied: "I defy you
to do that. You have not the power
to put me out."
After another cross-fire of warm ex
pressions ithe trial proceeded and the
charges against the pastor were read
In full, but not without frequent Inter
ference and objection from the accused
minister.
Two witnesses on the first charge
were examined, when an adjournment
was taken.
The witnesses for the prosecution fin
ished their testimony this afternoon.
At one point to the proceedings Rev.
Lincoln and Dr. Morris nearly came to
blows. While Or. Morrl. was on the
stand Rev. Lincoln asked him If he had
not apologized for Insulting him. Or.
Morris refused to answer.
Rev. Lincoln then accused Mr. Morris
of actlr.g as he had 'because his father
wanted to be called to the church. Dr.
Morris reported, "If you Ray that you
He."
Rev. Lincoln produced a letter that
barked up his statement.
Several times before Dr. Morris con
cluded his testimony he and Rev. Lin
coln were on the verge of coming to
blows. The defense will be heard to
morrow. BAD MAN KILLED.

BUCHANAN'S AGONY OYER
After Hard Struggle fur Life He Is
Electrocuted.
WHAT THE AUTOPSY REVEALED
The Fxecutlon Was a Success, and Death
Must Uave Been Painless According
to tho Opinion of the
Examining Pbyslcians-
Klng Sing, July 1. Dr. Robert W. Bu
chanan, the wife murderer, was elec
trocuted In the prison yard here this
morning. The witnesses entered at
ll.l.'l; the current was turned on at
11.81 at 1,740 volt. for four Seconds, re
duced to 4IW volts, left on for thirty sec
onds, widen It was turm-d on to 1,740
volts again and gradually reduced until
It was turned off fifty-eight seconds af
ter it was llr.st applied. 'Buchanan en
tered the room with his eyes closed and
did not open them as he walked along
side the attendant -without (assistance
to the chuir. His leg was slightly
scorched and smoked during tho lact
few seconds of the execution. The body
was perfectly motionless after the cur
rent waa turned on.
dir. Buchanan did not retire until 2
o'clock this morning and then he did
not remove his clothes, but he appar
ently rested sumewhat bitter than the
night before and seemed refreshed and
more cheerful than yesterday when he
awoke at 6.30 o'clock tills mondng. At
7.30 o'clock he called for a bow! of milk,
which has usually eon"tltuted his
breakfast, lie saw no one but his
guards until an hour later, when War
den t?age entered with the condemned
man's spiritual adviser. Tho warden
informed Buchanan of the tenor of the
attornvy general's dispatch nnd notified
him tlhat In accordance with the opin
ion of the law department of the state
It would be neces-ary to caary out the
sentence of the court.
Burhanan hud apparently prepared
his mind for the news and expressed
no surprise. Warden Sage told him of
the efforts that Mrs. Buchanan was
making to secure a reprieve or commu
tation of the sentence from Governor
Morten, but expreed the opinion that
tine chances were slight for a favorable
result of his entreaties. "'No," said
Buchanan, "there Is not much chance
of that." He was calm in spite of his
full appreciation of the situation, but
did not seem to wish to prolong it and
the warden yoon withdrew, leaving the
condemned man with his minister and
the guards.
Kcstilt of tho Autopsy.
Tho autopsy disclosed the usual
changes In the condition of the brain
and arterial system, but in a less
marked degree than in other cases of
death by electricity. The arteries were
nearly empty, while the brain contained
free blood in considerable quantities.
As far as the general examination of
the body was concerned, it showed that
all the organs were In a normal condi
tion with the exception of the left lung,
which was badly effected. The most
remarkable feature was the size of the
brain, which weighed but thirty-one
and three-fourths ounces, or less than
three-fourths the average. All the doc
tors agreed after the postmortem ex
amination that the execution hud be,-n
as successful as any which hns pre
ceded It In point of painlessness. The
condition of the brain Indicated the Im
possibility of consciousness after the
application of the current.
Dr. Irvine, who has witnessed nearly
all tbz executions In the state under
the new law nald:
"The failure of the first shock to ef
fect deaith In this case was In my opin
ion due principally to the character of
tlw subject. In the) first place, Buchan
an eat eo motionless in the chair before
tho current was llrst applied that It
was lmpolbU to detect his respira
tions. 'No doubt the current struck him
at a moment when his lungs were filled
with nlr instead of nearly empty, as
they should have been. This caused
the expulsion of air after the first ap-plk-ation
of the current and Also prob
ably contributed to cause the slight
pulsations which we detected after the
current was turned off. Apnrt from
this the fact that Buchanan ihad nerved
himself to resist the shock had much
to do with his tenacity of life.
"It Is well known that any one can
stand a heavier electric shock when pre
pared to resist It than when it strikes
him unawares. Buchanan was nn edu
cated mnn nnd fully understood the
punishment which he had to undergo.
Therefore he undoubtedly exercised n
grenter resistance than an ordinary
man would have done. I have no
doubt, however, that the first shock
destroyed consciousness, nnd that the
execution was a humane and painless
one."
Sympathy for Mrs. Iluchnnnn.
Mrs. Buchanan notified Warden Sage
as soon us the execution was over that
she Intcded to claim her husband's
body and give It burial. She said that
she was without funds, but she hoped
to obtain assistance from friends. The
warden promised to keep the body for
a. reasonable time subject to her order,
and showed his practical sympathy by
starting a subscription on her brholf,
to which nearly nil the ofllcers of tho
prison and witnesses of the execution
contributed.
Mrs. Buchanan left for New York at
2.26 p. m. She was much calmer than
at the time of her arrival this morning,
and warmly expressed her thanks for
the kindness of the warden's family.
Shortly before leaving here she gave
an account of her Interview wltb the
governor. She remained at Rhlnccliff
lost night and started for Kllerslle, the
governor's home, at 6.30 o'clock. In spite
of the early hour the governor rose
Immediately upon being Informed of
her arrival and gave her a hearing
lasting an hour and a half. She plead
ed with him on her knees to spare her
husband's life, but the governor, while
expressing the deepest sympathy, said
he could not Interfere again In the
case. He offered her assistance and
asked her to call upon him If she needed
help now or hereafter, which she prom
ised to do.

Sensation In Wushini;ton I amous Case
Pending tn the Supreme Court of tho
District.
Washington. July 1. A case pending
In the Supreme court of the district la
llkr-ly to dlsr lone some of the mem
bers and senators who are supposed
to have received remuneration In the
famot:4 K.'hiekasaw-C'hootaw IWlfOW)
appropriation. $"j0,000 of which ac
cording to a report from the secretary
treasury of th treasury, was paid out
In attorneys' fe-s.
The case Is that of Robert Black and
Harry Bajon vs. D. M. Its.?, all of
Oklahoma. It appears that the three
entered Into a contract by the terms of
which ilo3 was to come hare and work
for the claim, the other two paying his
expenses, and at the end erih was to
receive one-third of the amount Ross
should secure. When the payment
was made, on June 0. lSi'3. Boss repre
sented to Black and Baoon that he had
succeeded In getting only $1,500, and he
accordingly gent each $ o0. Some time
after thit. In answer to a resolution
offered by Senator I'latt. Secretary
Carlisle sent to the senate a showing
of oil the parties who ihafl received
money In the case, and Boss appears as
having received $75,000. Thereupon
Black and Bacon Instituted suit for
$2ii,no0 each.
An affidavit In the suit, made by John
A. Parsons In New York city on June 13.
1SS5, rtales that the deponent's legal
residence Is Salisbury, Ind., and that he
IsfJFiciaU-d with Ross In pressing the
claim. Bavins' been a member of fhe
Maryland legislature and a great friend
of 5enator Gorman, he was supposed to
be a valuable assistant. Parsons goes
on to say lihat the Ross contract with
the Indiana expired five days before the
I payment wa made, and when this hap
I pened he went to Green McCurtin and
W. X. Ainsworth, the Indian repre
i rentatlves, and told them that If they
did not pay him $75,000 he would defeat
payment by the treasury. He had the
draft made to Ross, he says, for fear
some creditors of his here would pounce
upon It. Ross went to the treasury and
received the $75.0(10 in cash. Parsons
says he told Ross to take $10,000 of It for
himself nnd give him (Parsnnsl $10,000,
leaving $55,000, whk-h, according to the
affidavit, Ross paid out to Parsons'
clients under the latter's directions.
Parsons refused to name his clients,
but says he has receipts, or rather
thinks Ross has all receipts, showing
where the $55,000 went to. It Is claimed
by attorneys for Black and Bacon that
they can force Ross and Parsons to
name all the parties who shared this
money, and the public may got some
thing In due time very Interesting. It
Is strongly suspected that some con
gressmen may have been the "clients."
