Back the Mefro Murderer of Police Officer Massey for Trial. 8 vtusrsDQ to toa Horning Imi Evansvillb, Ind., July 8. Acting under orders of Judge Basch, Sheriff Eralx left secretly this evening for the Indiana reformatory, at Jefferson ville, to bring bsck Lee Brown, the wounded negro who killed Patrolman Massey last Friday. It was this kill ing and the desire of the mob to lynch Brown that -precipitated the rioting here. Brown was secretly removed to Ylncennes early Sunday morning and from Vincennes to the State prison at Jeff arson ville for safe keeping. How Sheriff Kratz will bring the negro here and what hour he will arrive will be keot secret if possible. Tne sheriff took with him one deputy aud Dr. Gilbert, who will try to pre vent the negro dylngfrom the bullet in his lung. If the negro shall be succes- fully placed In the jail here, bis trial for the killing of Patrolman Massey will be rushed through, and unless a change of venue shall be taken, the troops will be held here until after the trial. A venire of fifty names was drawn secretly thistafternoon, from which an effort will be made to secure a jury. The court will appoint an attorney to defend Browo. The court house and jail are still guarded night and day by theMartlnavillie and Evansvlle companies, the latter company being stationed Inside tne building.

By Cable to tne Morning star. Rome, July 8. The physicians in attendance upon Pope Leo at a quar ter to ten o'clock this morning posted the following bulletin. "The night passed tranquilly enough, although' the Pontiff had no restorative sleep: the pulse waa fre quent but regular; breathing was as free as last njght. However, the gen eral condition of the patient la not tranqulllxlng, because of the state of depression which at Intervals in creases.", As can be seen by the bulletin the Pope's condition to-day Is not so fav orable aa it was last .night, due to the ract mat tne improvement After the operation of yesterday has not as sumed the--proportions the doc tors wished. While -the In flammation of the lungs is decreasing the patient's general condition does not Improve, and there la a tendency towards a radical change 'for the worse. The Pontiff Is extremely weak and even chloral seems to have lost its power to give the sufferer the relief of tranquil rest. Besides, what depresses the Pope is the difficulty be la expe riencing in breathing. At times he appears to be upon the point of stran gulation and then his breathing grad ually becomes weaker until hia heart apparently stops. Another arreat nre-occuoation of the doc tore la the derangement of the pa tient's kidneys, aa a result of which blood poisonine is feared. The outlook now is that the Pope's life may perhaps be prolonged more than could have been expected thirty-iix hours ago, but the hopes of his recov ery are still very small. Doctors Criticised. . This evening Dr. Mazzoni waa sud denly called out of the sick chamber by Cardinal Bampolla and a hurried whispered conversation ensued. This gave rise to all kinds of rumors, but it was soon explained that Cardinal Bamoolla had taken unon himself the duty of acting as mouth-piece for some of the Intimate friends and relatives of the Pope, who suggested the advisa bility of calling certain other doctors into consultation. Dr. Mazzoni replied that he had not the least objection to such a consulta tion, but that the symptoms and course of the disease were so clear and well defined aa to leave nodonbt aa to the diagnosis. He, therefore, was,unable to-see the necessity for the step pro posed. No decision has yet been reached about the matter. It became known later in the day that the motive for Dr. Mazzoni's sud den call by Cardinal Bampolla origi nated in what Vatican circles have already baptized as "the rebellion of the cardinals" against Dr. Upponl. It appears that some of the cardinals complained of the doctor's treatment of the patient, thinking that Dr. Lap- ponl had not since the beginning de tected that the Pope was suffering from an affection of the pleura, and thus, they said, allowing the disease to assume a gravity which otherwise might perhaps have been avoided. Dr. Lapponi. who is supported by Dr. Mazzoni, indignantly repudiated the Idea. However, the criticising cardi nals not only maintained their view. but succeeded in reaching the ear of Cardinal Bampolla. Besides this, the Pope's relatives proposed that a con sultation) be held with the most Illustrious physicians, naming Dr. Antonio Cardarella and Dr. Guido Baccelli. Bat apart from the Question- of hurting Dr. Lap noni's reelings, further difficulty thereupon arose, owing to the existing relations between unurcn ana Dtate, Dr. Cardarelli, being an Italian sena tor. thus making him obnoxious to the Papal party. Dr. Bacelli's position is even more difficult In addition to ha vine been a member of the Cham ber of Deputies for thirty years, ne is minister of commerce, industry and agriculture. In spite of these objections, the wishes of the Pecci family were re spected and It was announced that Doctors Lapponi and Mazzoni would consult with Dr. Cardarelli to-morrow evening. - Dr. Mazzon! and the Pope. The following' nartlculara were ob tained of the doctor's visit this morn- inar to the Pope: "How feels his holiness?" asked Dr. Mazzoni. "I do not feel as well ; I am weaker," replied the pontiff. , "Perhaps you did not sleep sum cientlyr "No. no." answered the Pontiff. "I was better last night. am sorry, because to day abould oe a dav of great work." "Surely "Dr. Mazzoni replied, "Ma holiness does not intend to work!'1 "Certainly. " answered the Pope. " have so many things to do, but I am afraid I have not the strength." Both of the doctors then proceeded to convince the Pone of the necessity for rest, urging him not to place ob stacles in the way of bla recovery. "1 shall do as you wish "-said tne Pope, in conclusion, with a sigh 6f resignation. ' Afterwards his holiness expressed a desire to rise, saying he would be more comfortable in bis arm-chair. The Pope's attendant, Bio Centra, then proceeded to help -him to arise, but the Pope refused his assistance. saying he could still move by him self, in fact, without any help ex cept that afforded by his cane, the Pontiff walked a few steps to bla arm' chair, repeating now and then: am weaker. I am weaker." Part of the work referred to by the Pope was to repeat a novena to the Madonna of the Carmelites, whose feast begins today. The Pope is very devout-venerator or tnia ui donna, always carrying her image about hia neck. the Conclave.. . Paris. July 8.

Except for the brief time he passed in the arm-chair, the Pope lay in bed throughout the day, ahiftlng his posi tion frequently without assistance, and occasionally taking a draught of di luted wine with the yolks of eggs. The only solid food he has taken la calve'a brains and meat broth. The later official bulletin, following a consultation between Doctors Lap poni and Mazzoni, completely contra dicted the alarmist reports, and gave a most favorable statement. This waa disclosed In the improved pulse, better respiration and ameliorated general condition. Dr. Mazzoni said In a con versation following the issuance of the 8:15 P, M. bulletin, that while the Pope'a condition still continued des perate, recovery waa not entirely Im possible. EoMi.July 9.-5:25 A.M. The Pone a asleep. The condition of hia lungs s not worse. There is as yet no sus picion of serum gathering again In the pleura, but the disorder of his kidneys is disquieting. During the early part of the night Hit Holiness was somewhat restlesss. The . occasional brief periods of aleep were disturbed by difficulty In breathing. Dr. Lap- pan! and Pope Leo's valet, Plo Cen tra, did their best to nourish the patient at brief Intervals.- The Pon tiff spoke little and seemed much de pressed. Chloral and caffeine were administered with good effect. About sunrise the Pontiff fell Into a more restorative aleep than he had had all night. A My-aterlona Dlrappcuuec. The disappearance of Benjamin Bath nrst. n klnsumn of Lord Bathurst. has never been explained. Bathurst was sent on a secret mission to Vienna at the time that England, before opening the peninsula campaign, sought to per suade Austria to declare by way of dis traction war against France. Austria soon after crossed the French frontier, and Bathurst received hints of threat ened personal doom. Hoping to avoid examination, be took a northerly route In returning to England, and on reach ing Perleberg, in Brandenburg, he vis ited in bis agitation the commandant of cuirassiers, requesting that sentries might mount guard at the inn where he stopped. These were supplied, and Bathurst spent the day In writing and destroying letters. Shortly before his carriage came to the door In the dusk of a November evening he told some troopers who es corted him that they might withdraw. While all the household was on the alert to see him off he walked beyond the circle of the laurtern glare and was lost to sight t the head of the horses. This occurred on Nov. 25, 1809, and Bathurst was never seen or heard of more, notwithstanding that England offered 2,000 reward and Prussia 100 Frledrichs d'or for the discovery even of his remains. What He Reallr Said. A gentleman calling on an II. P. one day while waiting In the reception room was attracted by the manner of the small attendant and started a ran dom conversation. "And how much do you earn a week, my boy," he inquired. "Ten pounds," said the youngster with avidity. Being shown into the member's pri vate office Just then, the visitor's sur prise found vent in words. "Mighty bright youth you have there to be getting f 10 a week," he remarked. "Why," said the M. P., "he only gets 22 shillings." "But he told me Just now you were giving him 10 a week," persisted the gentleman. "Nonsense," said the M. P., and he touched the bell. "Billy," he said, "did you tell this gentleman I was paying you 10 a week?" "No, sir." "You didn't? say?" ... Well, what did you "I said I earned It,' was the prompt and stout rejoinder. Dainty Cbalra. A firm of upholsterers became so busy that they could no longer keep pace with the work they had to do, so they called on a little jobbing cabinet maker and asked him if he would make half a dozen chairs for them by a cer tain date. The man took the order and lost but little time in exeouting it and still less time in obtaining the money for them. The work, however, turned out to be a failure, and the firm Bent for the man and exposed to his view quite a heap of the various limbs that go to make a chair. The practical joiner gave a look of surprise and proceeded to pick up the pieces and place them together with out saying a word. .

It is popularly supposed that the Bus sian officials are considering war ques tions. The foreign commercial offi cials at New Chwang and Port Arthur believe that the possibility of war Is ncr easing steadily. The Bussian poi cy is believed to be to hold the pres ent positions In Manchuria, including New Chwang, and to take no steps to avert nostmty with Japan ll it is as sured that Japan will fight unaided. The war feeling among the Japanese in norm enma is intensifying.

Have you any thing to say why the sentence should not be pronounced?" Throcmorton was a pink of physic al manhood, well knit, erect, with a character as straight as his form. He held a medal from "the management" and was the wearer of a watch, the gift of grateful passengers when be was taken from the wreck of his en gine. "Throe," as they called him, was more than liked; he was loved by the -grimy roadmen. When the last word fell from Judge Smithson, the character of the man and the stubborn facts of the case stood In solemn contrast. In such a contest character must lose. The eyes of Throcmorton shone straight Into the eyes of the Judge. There was nothing of bravado In his manner, neither tremor nor sign of weakening. "If -rfpiease your honor," responded the prisoner, rising as he snoke. "It will shock you and all present when I say I mourn for Olive Graham and -am Innocent But what la It worth to say it in the face of the evidence?

Moved by some sudden impulse, the Judge turned to the sheriff and said in a faltering voice: "Remove the pris oner and return him for sentence to the bar of this court The day and hour the court will later Indicate." Old Graham was a pensioned track Inspector, who loved the thunder of trains and scream of whistles. He had built his house thirty feet from the roadbed. Just back of ltmnd extending down to the track was an abrupt twenty foot cliff of shale, the perpendicular face of which was smooth. It was in front of it that they found the body of Olive. No. 49 just ran out . of the round house, had backed up and coupled to the St Louis express. It was Tom Doyle's pet engine.

He believed Throcmorton waa Inno cent because be couldn't believe other wise.

It was down grade, and Tom Doyle, with hand on throttle valve and eye on -the rails, was ready to slack at the curve. The storm bad burst, and just as the engine struck the curve a flash of lightning and the focus of , the head light met full on the face of the cliff.

A flash of tremendous voltage, and the cliff glowed, white within the head light's circle. Conway's hand dropped from the lever, and he stood dazed and trem bling.

The radius of a circle drawn in chalk on the smooth face of the rock marked the place where the headlight focused as the engine struck the curve. .
