DRAWSTHELON6BOW Former Comrades of Ex- Trooper Dell Wild Impeach His Veracity. Several Soldiers Swear They Would Not Believe Him Under Oath. Wild Is Fo ;itively Identified as a Deserter Called D. P. Ward. Politician Plummer, Friend of the President, Fails for a Million. Chicago, March 19.— The evidence given to-day before the Steele court martial was decidedly unfavorable to ex-Private Wild, it was shown that he had prejudiced himself before the court martial by which he had been tried at Fort Yates, while testimony was given by his former comrades that he was a stranger to veracity, and could not be believed under oath. It was shortly after il o'clock when the Bession opened, and although the spectators' quarters wore crowded to suffocation fully 1,000 men and boys beseiged the outside of the hall. Considerable time was occupied In reading the verbatim report of yesterday's proceedings, and "Wild was then recalled. In re ply to the questions <>f the judge advocate, he said that Steele struck him with his clenched fist on the side of the face, but did not knock him down. Cross-examined by the court at the instance of Lieut. Dudley, he that the blow only made a red mark. He was asked by Lieut. Crowder, counsel for Steele, how lout? he had been in the service and replied in an in solent tone "I won't answer." In re i>ly ti» other questions lie said that he did not know when he refused to aid in placing the canvas on the roof whether the building was private or government propi rty. He only knew that he Considered It. Menial Work. The ease for the defense was then opened with the examination of John Commas, post trader at Fort Pembina, >«. D. His evidence being objected to by the judge advocate the court retired and decided to admit the testimony. Commas then swore that lie had known Wild under the. name of Daniel P. Ward as a private in Company I. Fif teenth infantry, of which the witness at the time in question was first ser geant. The judge advocate vainly ob jected to the introduction of this testi mony, eliciting so much applause that lie threatened to clear the room. The witness went on to testify that Ward's, alias Wild, reputation for truth and veracity was very bad, and that he would not believe him under oath. Sergeant Jacob Shaw and Private Wright, of the Eighth infantry, ex-com rades of Wild, both testified emphatic ally that his reputation for truth and veracity was very bad and that Lieut. Steele had always acted as a perfect gentleman toward the enlisted men. Counsel Crowder then read an extract from the official record of the proceed ings of the court martial by which Wild was tried and sentenced and in which lie had .-worn that the present was his first enlistment. The judge advocate made strenuous objection, but the court, alter retiring for some time, de cided to admit the record. Private Wild recalled, swore that Lieut. Steele had never acted in a tyrannical manner toward the privates, but treated them in a very courteous manner. He ad mitted that he could not give the name of any member of his troop who would testify to his veracity. The defense offered lo produce twenty-two wit nesses to testily to Wild's bad reputa tion, and all the soldiers or Lieut. Stcele's company to testify to the lat ter* humane rule as an officer. The court retired to consider the proposi tion, and, after consultation, decided to hold the matter under consideration till to-morrow. Pending the arrival of two witnesses now on their way to Chicago, an adjournment till to-morrow at 11 o'clock a. m. was then taken. FAILED FOR A MILLION. Politician Plummer (Joes to the Wall With a Crash. Nkw York, March 19.— The dry goods trade was startled to-day by the failure of John F. Plummet 1 & Co., following as it did so closely upon that of Harbison & Loder, which took place last week. The firm is composed of John F. Plum mer and William S. Darling. They matte a general assignment for the bene fit of their creditors to Jeremiah P. Murphy, their cashier. Mr. Pluinmer also made an individual assignment to Mr. Murphy. Much regret has been expressed in the trade. Mr. Murphy, the assignee, said that the assignment was principally due to depreciation in value of the goods which the firm had on hand and which they ■had been carrying for some time. When they rclized their posi tion they made every effort to go on, but found it impossible and had to make an assignment without preference. Mr. Plummer is recognized by the trade as a man of high honor and competent business ability. The creditors con cerned, by uniting, possibly can make the suspension only a temporary one. Mr. Murphy said the liabilities were about $1,00'J,000, of which about £300,000 is for borrowed money and the balance is due to manufacturers and for trust money deposited with the firm by relatives and friends. The trust money Is a Family Matter. The assets nominally were a little larger than the liabilities. They con sist of stuck and outstanding accounts and some valuable real estate owned by Mr. Plummer. In the trade the liabilities are reported to be $1,100,000, and nominal assets $1,200,000. The trade attribute the failure to over advances, chiefly on the satinet ac counts, and complications arising from the old firm of Stone & Darling, whose business John F. Plummer took. It is said that the firm of Pomeroy & Plum mer was mixed up with the firm of Fer dinand Mayer, which failed in Septem ber, lsss. Pomeroy & Plnmmer dis solved Jan. 1, 1885. and was succeeded by the present firm of John F. Plum mer Co. They took the satinet bus iness of Stone & Parting, to whom it is said they made tho necessary advances to enable them to liquidate. The Hock anuin comgany. of liockville, Conn., is reported to be one of the largest creditors of the firm. Mr. Maxwell, president of that company loaned Mr. Plummer $50,000 when the latter founded the present firm, and it is said the loan was repaid last August. Mr. Plummer was for many years with the old house of Pomeroy & Adams, in which he was admitted a partner in ISM, and three years later was changed to Ponieroy & Plummer. Plummer & Co. claimed a capital of $300,000 and a, business of 13,000,000,000 the first year of its existence. Their statement Jan. 1, LBB9, showed assets $830,978, and liabilities $885,862. The open accounts amounted to $834,570 and these were the principal assets. They did a Large Business in Woolens, and were negotiating to take Southern cotton goods accounts, which would have increased the business ?1,C00,000 a year. Mr. Plummer was active in Republican politics, but it is claimed that did not interfere with his business. lie la a personal friend of President Harrison, and took a leading part in tho last presi dential election in the dry goods trade. "It is serious," said a merchant to-day, "that two leading Republicans— Mr. Plummer, of New York, aud Franklin Woodruff, In Brooklyn— fall within a month." Nkw Fork, March in.— W. W. Paten & Co., auctioneers, '.I'M Filth avenue, as signed to-day. HE WAS ONCE ACQUITTED. Bishop Ember's Second Trial for Unchristian Conduct. Reading, Pa., March 19.— The trial of Bishop Esslier, of Chicago, before a committee of the Evangelical associa tion on charges of unchristian con duct, slander, evil speaking, false hood, and creating dissension in the church, began here to-day. Among the witnesses in attendance were Revs. J. Snyderand W. li. Ulster, of Chicago, and Rev. J. Hatsler, of Car lisle. Bishop Escher was -not present except by counsel. He denies the juris diction of the committee on the ground that he has already been exonerated. The proceedings are secret, and will continue to-morrow. SAINTLY CITY SMUGGLERS. Custom House Officials Relieve Them of Contraband Jewelry. Nkw York, March IP.— Jacob Arnold, his son Charles and Joseph Schmitt, passengers on the steamer Werra, bound for St. Paul, Minn., were searched to-day by custom house In spectors, and five gold watches, three gold breast pins and three gold chains, and a number of smokers' articles they were smuggling were confiscated. They were allowed to go home without the jewelry. LANDING PLACE FOR ALIENS. Conflict of Authorities Regarding an Immigrant Station. Washington, D. C, March 19.-Sec relary Proctor has designated Gen. Scholiekl o represent the war department with the senate and house committees on immigration, next Friday, to look into the question of a site for the establishment of an immigrant station to take the place of Castle Garden. While there the committees will visit Bedloe's, Ellis' and Governor's islands and Castle Gar den. In view of the opposition to the selection by Secretary VYindorn of Bed loe's island, and the opposition in army circles to the selection of Governor's island as sites for the immigrant station the visit of the committees at this time is important as their recommendations in the matter will doubtless be final and conclusive as to the site that will in the future be the lauding point of all immi grants who come into New York harbor. In the meantime Secretary Windoni is going ahead on the theory that Bedloe's island, his selection, will be approved by congress, and to-day there was a conference at the treasury department on the general question of immigration, at which the new commissioner of immigration, Mr. Weber, Solicitor Hepburn, Assistant Secretary Tichenor and Secretary Windoni were present. The needs of the service, and the laws govern i ing immigration were carefully gone over, and Commissioner Weber made acquainted with the views of the treasury department, as to how the ser vice is to be conducted. Solicitor Hep burn and Surgeon General Hamilton will accompany the committees and represent the treasury department in the investigation. VOLUNTARILY IDLE.

It is stated that i'resldeut Hill, of the Great Northern, will attend the next meeting of the rail and lake lines at Now York, and, if this is so, a satifactory adjustment of rates for the eDsuing season is assured. There was a meeting yesterday of the Wis consin lines at the Omaha office, the purpose of which was the discussion of lumber rates. No definite action was arrived at. i Delegates from points in the old Western States Passenger association territory to the annual convention of the Miller's National association in Minneapolis, June 16-21, will be given a one and one- third rate. THE RESULT OF MERIT. When anything stands a tost of fifty years among a discriminating people like the Americans, it is pretty good evidence that there is merit somewhere. The value of a medicine is best proved by its continued use from year to year by the same persons and families, as well as by a steadily increasing sale. Few. if any, medicines have met with such continued success and popularity as* has marked the introduction and progress of Bkandp.htii's Pills, which, after a trial of over fifty years, are conceded to be the safest and most effectual purgative introduced to the public. That this is the result of merit, and that Br.vnpkktii's Pills actually per form all that is claimed for them, is conclusively pioved by the fact that those who regard them with the great est favor are those who have used them the longest. Bkandiiktu's Pills are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar-coated. _m~. Fatally Stabbed With a Penknife.

T., March 19.— The, pa-, trol of . the Cherokee strip by forces of ; the United States army began to-day. Gen. Merritt, commanding the depart ment of the Missouri, issued orders" to tnat effect early yesterday morning, and all day yesterday and a part of to-day } troops of cavalry were on the march; to this place. The forces, included in : the order were as follows: Troop G, 50 men, from Fort Reno, Capt. E. M. Hayes commanding; Troop X, CO men, 1 from Fort Reno. Capt. A. E. Woodson commanding: Troop F. 50 men, from Fort Supply, Cast. George 11. Paddock commanding; Troop 1, 40 men.lrom Fort Supply, Lieut. Andrews commanding.

Thence they will inarch in squads, covering as much ground as possible, north through the strip, notifying the settlers who remain of the president's notification and forc ibly evicting those who refuse to go voluntarily. After the full width of the ; strip has thus been patrolled the troops will* return southward to different points in the strip, establish military stations and guard the land from invasion until it shall be legally opened to settlement by act of congress and presidential pro clamation. Troop I will return to Key stone, Troop F to Ponea, Troop Gto Pond Creek and Troop X to a point fif teen miles south of Kiowa.

Arkansas City, Kan., March 19.— The proclamation issued by the boomers setting apart the 22d next as the day for invading the Cherokee strip, referred to in to-day Washington dispatch, was promulgated among the prospective set tiers about ten days ago and published at that time. The plan outlined in it was superceded by the unexpected rush into the strip on Friday last, and the boomers have no intention, whatever, of entering again until the land is legally opened to settlement. The or dering of troops into the strip to evict the "sooners" is regarded as positive proof tnat the boomers were mistaken in thinking that the president would allow them to remain, and no attempt will be made to disobey his order.
