THE ANARCHISTS' TRIAL
PROCEEDINGS IN THE COURT YES
TERUAY.
John Randolph Tucker, of Virginia,
Open Argument for tbe Defend
nuts.
By Telegraph to Tub Chkonicls.
Washixgtox, D. C, Oct. 27. A
great crowd was present to hear ar
gument in the anarchist case before
the Supreme Court to-day. Lacn
counsel was allowed three hours,
and Mr. John Randolph Tucker, ot
Virginia, opened for the anarchists
Directing his efforts to tbe question
ot jurisdiction raised by the appeal
for the writ of error, he did not pro
pose, he said, to go over the wnole
record of the case and show the
grounds for the reversal of the judg
ment of the Illinois court, but to
show-that this wa.s a caee within the
iurisdittiou of the Supieme Court,
which justified the issuance of the
writ. Sir. Tucker insisted that by
the Illinois jurors law and by the ac
tion or tbe Illinois court the anar
chists were convicted of a capital of
fense without due process of law;
contrarv to the guarantees of the
llih Amendment to the Constitution,
mat due process of law implies and
requires a trial by an impartial jury,
that the Illinois statutes makes com
petent a juror with a pr&conceived
and present otinion as to the guili
or the accused, that it is nor.theretore.
" due process of law," whicn abridgts
tne privileges or immunities or citi
zens of the United Stats s" by deny
ing the accused ' the right to a tna.
by an impartial jury,'" and isHmcon
stitutional. Attorney-General Hunt, of Uli'icis,
followed and in his briet submitted
to the court and by his oral argu
ment opposing the granting of tin
writ ot error replied to these points
lie c.un tended tint to warrant the
writ .t must appear from the- rtcord
that there is a federal question involv
ed and that such question whs ra sed
and decided m the State court, lie
denied that these conditions were
met. The record did not show that
any federal question is involved
The prohibitions, he contended, con
tained in the first an amendment to
the constitution are limitation on the
powers of the Federal Government,
and not upon the Slates, and so far
as the anarch ste rely upon anyihiog
contained in those amendments, they
can havo no standing in the Supreme
Court of the United States The
amendment, he argued, was equally
foreign to any right, privilege or
etnmunity claimed by the petitioners.
At 4 o'clock the court adjourned until
to-morrow, Mr. Hunt not having
finished his argument.
The proceedings in the Supreme
Court to-day in the anarchist appeal
were solemn. All the judges paid
close attention to the arguments of
counsel and several times interrupt
ed tbem to asks question.
Mr. Sucker's address was a sur
prise to many. He is a graceful and
easy f-peaker, and his address from
first to last was eloquent and im
passioned throughout. Attorney -General
Hunt nude a cle.tr, calm
and forcible argument, dealing only
with the cold abstract propositions of
law involving in the case. He will
conclude his argument to-morrow
und will probably be followed by
Judge Grinnell, who will speak for
an hour, leaving it for General But
ler to present the closing argument.
In Mtmoriam.

firings are now ended, and the little
one has gone to the home of the good

Atlanta Prohibition liuatneaa.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 27. The fight
for local option in Atlanta is warm
ing with forces equally divided. Col.
Crenshaw, Internal Revenue Collec
tjr. makes -some interesting state
ments concerning the success of the
trial Atlanta has given local option.
He says there are thirty-five more
distilleries in the district to day than
in 1885, agaist 2, with a capacity of
20 bushels in 1885. Internal revenue
receipt- increa-ed $35,000 the first
year; the same ratio will be $100,000
this year. Hef issued fifteen privi
leges to sell liquor on the Piedmont
Exposition gruonds. He says local
option in Atlanta has simply put
the liquor traffic in the hands of the
distilleries instead of dealers!

Deelared that He Poisoned His Sister.
07 Teiegrapft to I re chkomcxb -
San Fkacisco, Cal., Oct. 27. At
the inquest yesterday on the body of
Benhagon Some sensational evidence
was adduced. It will be remembered
that a confession was found beside
the deceased, in which he declared
that he had poisoned his sister, Dr.
Bowers' wife, the doctor now being
under sentence of death for '' that
crime. Yesterday's evidence, in the
opinion of i)aany, goes to show that
Benhagon (was murdered, taken to
the room by Gerv Street late last Sun
day night, iand laid out with a bottle
of poison beside him, and a forged
confession and other papers being
E laced on the table to indicate that
e had committed suicide. It is
thought that the crime was commit

believed, b betAhe guilty man.

memoria', read by the Rev. W. W

It declared that it was a mistake to
suppose that the colored people would

increased work among those people.
who, it declared, had been stimulated
and anxiously expected more care
within a short time. It spoke of the
necessity of securing colored young
men to take holy orders, as tb-y
were most needed to work amo ig
their own race, aud it tUo spoke of
the necessity of parocru 1 and mdus
tf inl schools in the South and West,
and denied the rumor that there w.is
any idea of e-t.tt li.-hing an Africm

A resolution providing that the
council suggest to the commission the
consideration of associating with its
members representatives ot the col

importance might be obtained that
could be gleaned from no other

Io pursue union at tne expense ot

This eminent divine and profound
theologian and thorough scholar
preached in the Methodist church on
Sunday morning, and we had the
pleasure and edification of braring

effort, and, showed carerus thought

reflection. .
On Tuesd-iy night he delivered a
lecture on "The Mind and the Sonl,"
and this effort loomed up to as a lux
uriant island of richest topical verd
up. nestling anv.d the ocean deeps of
a pysohological diss -rtti u, and wa

it, but from the gales, so richly la

flowers, which ever and anon came

Whore Education, TeUs.
' "People make a great mistake in
deinng their boys to enter what are
called the learned professions," said
one man to another in the lobby of a
theatre between tbe act. "Now,
my boy will graduate from the high
school in a few weeks and I intend
to apprentice him to an acquaintance
of mine who owns a , mill up town.
Some of those loom bosses aud fore
men around factories make splendid
wages, far more than the average
professional man earns. People
think that when a boy h . been well
schooled he should not be put in such
a Place as a mill, but I tell you its
the place for education to tell, as Ihe
competition there is not so great in
that respect."
