Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 10.- All that
can be heard of the lottery bill at pres
ent is that it may come up a year from
now, but at present' it is considered a
corpse beyond resuscitation. The bill
locating the state fair at Grand Forks
was to-day indefinitely postponed in the
bouse. An attempt was made to com
pel the railroad committee to report
back the hill regulating railroads and
defining the powers and duties of the
railroad commissioners, but was de
feated by one vote. It was charged
that the committee intended- to amend
the bill so that it wiil be killed in the

THE PENAL CODE APPLIES.
Important Rn ins on Prohibition
}S~ : .'. in South Dakota. '
Madison, 8. D., Feb. 19.— Judge Ait
kins rendered an important decision in
a liquor case pending before the circuit
court here to-day. The defendant had
been indicted for selling liquor without
a : license under the territorial
law of 1870. . In dismissing ..the
action the judge ruled as follows:
Tne court holds that prohibition went.'
into effect on the 2d of November upon
the admission of the state into the
union, and that it repealed all existing
laws relative to licensing the sale of in
toxicating liquors as a beverage, and
that by repealing those laws it repealed
all the penalties for the violation of
them, and necessarily repealed the law
of 1879 relating to license, under. which
this indictment is brought, and
that there is no penalty- now
in force by which this de
fendant is found guilty could be pun
ished. That, although in form article
24 of the constitution is now absolutely
self-executing, yet section . 217, of the
penal coae, provides ample and ade
quate penalties for the violation of this
or any other prohibitory law which
does not contain within itself a penalty
for its violation. That every person
who has sold . intoxicating liquors
since the 2d day !of November, is
liable to an indictment and punish
able if found guilty in the same
manner as provided for the punishment
of misdemeanor; that is a fine not ex
ceeding $500 or imprisonment in the
county jail not exceeding one year or
both, "in the discretion of the court. I
know that I decide In opposition to the
decision of the supreme court of North
Dakota, and, I presume, in opposition
to the views of a great many eminent
legal gentlemen in South Dakota who
have expressed themselves through the
columns of the papers. But it is
my understanding . of the . law.
I think any other construction ■• of it
would in effect thwart the will of the
people as expressed in the constitutional
convention and at the polls. In other
words, I hold that we have .a constitu
tional prohibition, and that adequate
punishment for its violation is provided
by law, and it does not depend upon the
caprice or notions of the legislature
whether or not it shall be enforced.
This case I shall take from the jury and
order tho defendant discharged and his
bondsmen released.

Hudson, Wis., Feb. 19.— The . stock
holders of the defunct Hudson Building
and Loan association are jubilant this
morning over • the , announcement of.
Judge Biuidy that he will find lii their
favor and' against James H. Childs, its
former president, and C. Y. Denniston,
its former treasurer, who by virtue of
their offices were directors of the corpor
ation. In 1882 these two • men, together
with one, Harvey, as secretary, assumed
control of the association, aud 'managed
it until; 1887 .when Harvey died. His
successor at once detected a defalcation,
which experts discovered '; to be : $21,000.
It then came to light that no minutes of
the meetings had ever been kept, that
the books of the association had never
been examined, that the directors had
accepted verbal reports from Mr.Harvey
on the condition of the finances, and
that large sums of money had been paid
without orders from the board of direc
tors. The suit, was brought against
Childs and Denniston as being responsi
ble for the shortage on account of their
negligent manner of conducting the
business.
THE DEAD GIRL BURIED.
Miss Diet-ten's Body Laid at Rest.
"the Inquest,
Hastings, Feb. 19.— Miss Dietzen's
funeral, which occurred this morning
from St. Boniface church, was very
largely attended, the edific being filled
to the very aisles. Rev. Father Cor
nelius Whittmann , conducted the last
sad rites. Flowers from friends were
sent in in large numbers, and when
the journey to the grave commenced,
the many carriages that followed the re
mains bespeak the esteem of the de
ceased while living. The father of the
young lady is nearly wild with grief
and the mother is almost prostrated.
While returning from the funeral
Wendeliu Then, who had two ladies
with him in a single carriage, was run
into by the driver of a careless team.
The buggy overturned, and Mr. Then
suffered a dislocation of the shoulder
and one of the ladies. Miss Hattie Pan
cliot. received a severe and painful
scalp- wound and sustained sev
eral bad bruises. The other lady
escaped uninjured. Then's horse
ran away and demolished the buggy.
The inquest continued all day. several
important witnesses being examined.
All the evidence shows conclusively
that Louis Somniers shot the girl because
of jealousy. There are still several
witnesses to examine, and the verdict
will probably not lie reached until Fri
day. Interest is still intense, there be
ing about 150 persons present at the
time of adjournment. It is said Som
mers has made a confession to a pris
oner at the jail in St. Paul, and it is
said this prisoner will be called to
testify. :-y :'■".■ _

"=*/ DUBS ON HIS DIGNITY. A" •
An Evangelical Bishop Gives a
Court the shake. " .vr '
Cleveland, 0., Feb. 19.— Bishop
Randolph Dubs, of the Evangelical as
sociation, was placed on trial to-day, at
Salem church, for conduct unbecoming !
a Christian. Fif ten . clergymen consti
tute the trial committee, and Bishops
fisher ana Bowman.; of Chicago, are
present. . The charges against Bishop
Dubs are that he accused Rev." M. Pfit
zinger, of Buffalo, N. *" Y„ and E. B.
Esher, son of the bishop, with having
falsified a telegram which he sent
several years ago . and .; which > re
ferred to church- easiness and that
on two occasions he was familiar in his
conduct toward two women. One of
the women was eating dinner at her
home when he entered, and, placing his
hand upon the back of her chair, he
asked if her ainner was good." The
other instance of familiarity is laid in
Switzerland, time twelve years ago. and j
the woman in the case a servant at a I
hotel. Nothing criminal is alleged in '
either case. The Evangelical associa
tion is a strong denomination, having
many churches in Illinois, the North-"
west, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Bishop Dubs has always been a. very
popular man, and his friends declare
that envy is back ;V of ~ the present trial.
The investigation is being made behind
locked doors, although Bishop Dubs was
emphatic in his desire to have the .pub
lic admitted. At the first session this
morning he appeared at the church with
two stenographers, but they, were de
nied admission. His son. Rev. Mr.
Dubs, of Chicago, was also refused a
seat. The bishop then asked for a cer
tified copy of the record of ; each i
session, . and was informed he could
look . over the official secreta
ry's minutes whenever he desired.
He entered a protest against the admis
sion of written testimony unless he was
gived the privilege ,of cross-examining
the witnesses. That was impossible, as
the witnesses are not here. Bishop
Dubs then withdrew, declaring that the
Investigation should ".' proceed without
h^presence, inasmuch as he had been
deprived of all his rights. The bishop
was as good as his word, for he did not
attend the afternoon session, and says
that he will not have anything more. to
do with the inquiry. His home is in
Cleveland... His friends say that the
charges are wickedly false, and have no
foundation whatever.

DIDN'T CAlilj A WITNESS."
Contractor Kavanagh, Accused
of Jury Bribing, Acquitted. ■
Chicago, Feb. 19.— The building con- 4
tractor/Thomas Kavanagh, a member
of Camp 135, Clan-na-Gael, accused of
being implicated in . attempts to bribe
possible -jurors on the Cronin trial,
walked out of court this afternoon a
free man. Re had just been acquitted
without having to call a witness. Kav
anagh's release took place after the evi
dence for the prosecution was all in,
and was ordered by Judge Waterman;
who ruled that States Attorney Longen
ecker had failed to . make out a case.
This leaves one man, Jeremiah O'Don
nell, on trial, of the total of seventeen
indicted. When court opened ' this
morning ex-Bailiff Soloman, one
of the state's witnesses, took the stand.
He detailed at some length a statement
that Bailiff Hanks approached him say
ing there was "big money" in getting a
man on the Cronin jury who would hold
out for the defense. Hanks told - him
Graham was to pay the money. Then
Joseph Dundas, a stenographer, testi
fied from his notes of a statement or
confession made by the defendant,
Kavanagh, when the latter, with others,
was, prior " to the .:- indictments. •; put
through a course of questioning, te-
State's Attorney Longenecker's '•■ office.
According to- Dundas,. Kavanagh had
confessed that he had made inquiries in
regard to certain men to be summoned'
on the jury and had reported his con
clusions to Lawyer Forrest, of counsel
for the defense in the Cronin case. Ho
said his Inquiries were on -; - .-;
X -■ BEHALF OF THE IRISH PEOPLE ; f
who he considered were on trial. -The
next witness, Edward -Hoagland. a bar
ber, testified that the defendant O'Don
nell told him that he (Hoagland) would
be summoned on the jury and that there
: was $1,000 or more in the job ; for him if
he would get the defendants off as easily:
ias possible, especially Beggs, This fin
ished the case on behalf of the state.
Attorney Byam then proceeded to make
an argument on a motion that the jury
be instructed to acquit Kavanagh. Mr.
Byam said the inquiries and actions of
Kavanagh were entirely, proper—pre
cisely what the . state's attomev him
self had done a hundred times. "Attor
ney Bnggs, for O'Donnell, also moved
for acquittal, arguing that but one
witness, the informer, Hoagland,
. had ;; testified against O'Donnell,
and that, even if Hoag
land's story were true, it would not con- j
vict "of conspiracy, the charge upon
which. O'Dounell was indicted. After
brief Bpeches by State's > Attorney
Longenecker and his -i assistant, Mr.
Neely, the motion of Mr. O'Donnell's
attorney was overruled, Judge Water
man holding .-. that the jury . should be
allowed to pass upon the testimony. As
to Kavanagh; Judge Waterman said that
he could not be convicted on suspicion >
that he knew of corruption. He had a
right too' seek out the character of
jurors summoned or -about to be. The
motion for acquittal was sustained. Ad
journment - till to-morrow was an
nounced; and Kavanagh, shaking hands
with his lawyers, left the court with a
radient face. IH^^^^^??^
MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD.
A ' Hackman Shot Down by a
Wealthy Bookmaker. ."*'.'
Chicago, Feb. Daniel Downey, ,
a well known hackdriver, was shot
and probably fatally wounded by Haria
Murphy, the bookmaker,about 8 o'clock
this -morning. Bystanders who wit
nessed the shooting say there was no
provocation for it. Murphy, who is
here from Tennessee on a visit, came
out of Kogan's saloon at 840 State street
aoout 8 o'clock. With him were Joe
.Ullman and Charley Thomas, the
wealthy Chicago bookmakers. All
three were more or less under tne influ
ence of liquor. The three men were on
their way to a carriage that was wait
ing for them, when Downey noticing the
carriage in waiting asked them if they
did not want a' carriage. '"Get away
from me." Murphy is alleged to have
said, with an oath. and without further
provocation he drew a revolver and
shot Downey in the ; cheek, and as the
unfortunate man fell,' fired another shot
which took effect in Downey's left side.
The three men then entered their car
riages and were driven rapidly away.
Downey was 'taken to the . hospital
where the physicians express the opin
ion that be cannot live. Murphy and
his two friends were arrested abont 9
o'clock and locked up at the Harrison
-street station.

it is stated that Vail is under arrest and

understood that the relatives of the lady
have withdrawn their objections to the
exhumation.' The position of the pistol
ball wound from . which' she died
will then be determined . accu
rately, and it -will be - determined
whether she could have been accident
ally shot by a pistol in Vail's pocket, as
be claimed. It will very easy to de
termine from, the course of the bullet
the position or direction from which the
bullet was tired. The' examination of
witnesses under oath will develop some
interesting facts, and Mrs. P. J. Hav
den, a cousin of Mrs. Vail, will testify
that on the morning Mrs. Vail
was shot she asked her hus
band not to carry his revolver and
expressed a fear that something would
happen to her if he did. _ This lady- de
nies that Mrs. Vail ever made any state
ment vindicating "Vail of the suspicion
of murder. The, conviction that Mrs.
Vail was the victim of foul play seems
to grow here with the passage of time,
and tbe exhumation of the remains will
relieve the strained feeling at present
existing. ________

EVERYBODY WANTS TO TALK.
Congressmen Take Great Interest
In the World's Fair Project.
Washington, Feb. 19. — So many
members desire to participate in the
speeebmaking upon the world's fair
that it has been found necessary to
make provision for a night's session to
morrow, in order that all who wish to
speak may have the opportunity to do
so. Mr. Candler, the chairman of the
world's fair committee, will retain
charge of the debate and will open the
proceedings. He is uncommitted to any
one of the four cities, but is heart
ily in sympathy with the general
project, ana His opening speech
will be devoted to an explan
ation of the. provisions of the
bill and to an explanation of the strong
reasons which, in his opinion, make the
holding of a fair in 189*3 desirable. Mr.
Flower will open the debate for New
York in a twenty-minute speech, and
will be followed by Mr. Hitt in behalf
of Chicago. It has not been determined
whether Mr. Hatch or Mr. Frank will
make the opening speech in advocacy
of the claims of St. Louis. Washington,
which has the last say. will have Mr.
Wilson, of West Virginia, as her orator.
The opening speeches will generally
consume about twenty minutes, and
about nvo minutes each will be allotted
to the other speakers. Friday each city
will have half an hour to close up its
case, the order of speaking to be tbe
same as on the previous day. .
SOMEBODY LEAKS.
Senators Bewail the Fact That
They Can't Keep Secrets.
Washington, Feb. 19.— the secret
session of the senate this afternoon the
question of the | secrecy of the secret
session was debated at some length.
Yesterday Senator Dolph called the at
tention of the senate to the fact that
certain newspapers published most elab
orate reports of tne proceedings of the
senate in secret session and that the
press associations covered very fully
evening all the business transacted by
the senate behind closed doors during
the afternoon. He- was > in favor
of a sweeping Investigation. The
matter was postponed until to
day, when it was again discussed.
Attention was called to the fact that in
spite or th# special injunction of se
crecy placed on the proceedings of \es
terday, the newspapers this morning
contained the usual full and accurate
reports. As the senators would nut
place the blame on each other, the pos
sibility that . reporters obtained ac
cess to the galleries during the secret
session was discussed,' as was also tjie
possibility that the employes of the sen
ate leaked. It was \ proposed, among .
other things, that tho entire senate
wings of the capitol bo - cleared of all
but senators and employes 'during the
secret session. After some further dis
cussion the» senate disposed of some
routine business and confirmed several
nominations. ' .:*,- "; - . - -- -

WILL SWKEP THE COUNTRY/.
Col. Vilas Says- the Democracy
Will Win in 1892. - ;'
Chicago, Feb. 19.— A morning paper -
prints a column Interview on the politi
cal situation with Col. William F.Vilas,*:
late secretary of the interior. The arti
cle speaks of him as "Mr. Cleveland's
favored confidant." : When asked if, la
his opinion, the discussion of the cam
paign of 1888 strengthened or, weak- C
ened the cause of tariff . reform. Col.
Vilas replied: "Unquestionably it
strengthened it. No man can review the:
history of political discussion in
this country 'and" deny that the
people understand and accept argument
and are governed in their action by
their judgment. It may happen at
times, as in the last campaign, that the
secret and corrupt use of vast sums of.
money, combined with sectional hate or
some ephemeral, frenzy, can snatch'
away a doubtful state or turn the : scale
of a close contest. But this cannot be'
when the people are awake to the peril, '
nor does it prove the people either fail
to understand or fall to act ' "' '
' ACCORDING TO SOUND ARGUMENT.
The contrary is well established by the
returns of 1888. tariff reform' having
made gains and progress wherever dis
cussion was most plenteous and failing
where argument 1 necessarily moves
slowly to the reach of all." "The same
they will have on - the power
of a healthy, "vigorous youth," was *
Col. Vilas' answer when, questioned
as to the effect the lapse of four years
would have on the sentiments of voters
with reference to the tariff issue. "And
surely," continued he. "the. battle of
lv,':" will be fought on tbe same issue.
It is my opinion that by that time the
Democrats can sweep the country on
that issue if the right men . are nom
inated for president and vice president."
Upon having his attention called to the
administration of Mr. Cleveland and
asked if be thought the future would : V:
regard it favorably, he said, after some
explanatory remarks: "1 don't hesitate ."
to say it ought -to be- so." Col. Vilas
took an encouraging view of the out
look for the Democrats .In Wisconsin
this year and said there is good hope for
them if the Democratic state committee
makes an aggressive, vigorous and wise
campaign.
