The cases against H. Laackmann, Geo.

aggravated assault and battery, growing
out of the egg throwing, during the
parade Thursday, were called before Re-
corder Johnson this morning.
The defense was represented by J. S.
Wheeles.
When the case was called Attorney’
Wheeles stated that the defendants de
sired to waive examination and asked
the court to fix a bond for their appear-
ance. .
Judge Johnson wanted to know the
ability of the defendants to give bond.
After some discussion each of the defend-
ants were bound over in the sum of $2C0
to the criminal court.
A large number of witnesses in the
case were present in the court room this
morning.

Chi;>f of Botica Places Her Ucdcr the
Martial Bule.
Chicago, Nov. "8.—Beginning tonight
at 1 o’clock the city is practically put
under martial law. Chief of Poiice
Brennan today informed the inspectors
that he intended to adopt rigid measures,
and after 1 o’clock each night until such
time as the order is rescinded he desired
that half the force be put in citizen’s
clothes and thrown upon the streets.
These men are to stop and question
every individual found on the streets
after that hour. If satisfactory answers
are given the citizens will be allowed to
go in peace, but if the answers are not
satisfactory to the policemen the men
will be arrested and taken to the police
station.
This measure is made necessary by the
large number of highway robberies and
sandbaggings which have occurred of
late.

Dallas, Texas, Nov. 17.—The grand
jury is still hearing evidence in the
Langdon case. There are a number of
witnesses, embracing all classes cf peo-
ple. The whole day was spent in hear-
ing testimony, and there is enough to
keep them busy all the time. The re-
sult of their investigation is expected to
be returned tomorrow.
There are various rumors as to the
testimony being given. It is said one of
the $50 bids found on Paris’ person
when he was first arrested at Lampasas
has been positively identified. The
scraps of paper found on the floor of
Paiis’ cell at Lampasas have been
pieced out, and the handwriting on
them, so it is rumored, has been rec-
ognized. The piece of pipe with which
the killing was done has been traced to
the shop from which it was purchased
by a negro boy some days before the
crime was committed. The f It hat
found near Langdon’s gate is now no
longet an unknown quantity. These
and other circumstances are sai l to be
all in the possession of the grand jury.
Until the grand jury takes action the
attorneys for the defense are resting on
their oars as far as any steps to secure
the release of the prisoner from jail are
concerned. They are at work all tie
time collecting evidence, and it is said
that they are accomplishing much in this
way. They decline positively to say one
word as to what evidence they have, or
what their line cf defense will b?.
Messrs. Jerome 0. Kearby, J. C. Muse
and F. M. Ethridge have been employed
to assist the county attorney in the prose-
cution of the cases.
Colonel Russell has not yet announced
the asseciate counsel for the defense.
The array of legal talent on both sides
will be as imposing as that in the Randle
case. From the names it will be seen
that this bids fair to be one of the most
memorable legal contests ever fought in,
the his ory cf the Texas bar.
The friends of Parish are still raining
in their messages of confidence and good
cheer, and are still coming to Dallas in
small parties to tell him how anxious
they are that he should be proven inno-
cent very .shortly. They wou’d keep
his cell full were they permitted to’ see
him, but it is against the rules.
Parish now has three brothers here,
Messrs. John, Lee and Jce Parish, and
they visit him regularly each day. Be-
sides his attorney they are the only per-
sons permitted to talk with him.
For his own part, Wm. G. Parish was
very much improved today. He was
brighter and much more cheerful in his
manner. He seemed to once more take
an interest in the goings on of the world
outside, and for the first time since his
arrest talked about happenings here and
there. He has all the papers sent to
him, and he reads them all carefully and
therefore is well posted. While the
bruises on his head is healing rapidly he
still complains of great soreness in hia
chest, and says it feels like some great
weight was constantly weighing upon

crime was committed near Alliance, O.,
last night. Miss Birdie Biugh, a student,
was ravished and murdered by Curt Da-

This morning her dead body was found
on the barn floor. Half a mile away

Battle Creek, Mich., Nov. 18.—The
corner’s jury impanelled to investigate
the Grand Trunk disaster returned the
following verdict yesterday:
“We find that said accident was
caused by gross disobedience of orders
g ven by the train dispatcher. We also
find that Conductor Scott and Engineer
Wooley, of train No. 5, east bound, are
guilty of gross negligence in running
past the meeting point, at which they
hid positive orders to stop.”
The jury also found that the Grand
Trunk company had done all that could
be done in the way of first-class equip-
ments for the safety of its patrons and
the road was exonerated from all blame.

■ Accused of Fraudulent and Dishonor-
able Conduct and Malpractice in De-
ceiving the United States Court—Out-
come nt the Hutcheson Case.
The following citation, which explains
/itself, was filed late yesterday afiernoon
by United States District Attorney R. E
Hannay in the circuit court of the United
States for the Eastern district of Texas,
sitting in this city:
To the Hon. Alex Boar man, Judge—
The United Slates vs. A. T. Patrick: In
accordance with the suggestion of this
honorable court, made and entered on
the 15th day of November of record,
wherein the court found that Albert T.
Patrick, a practicing attorney of this
court, had on the 4th day of November,
1893, filed in this court charges preferred
by him as relator and amicus curiae
against J. C. Hutcheson, a practicing at-
torney of this court, which charges
this honorable court found wholly
unfound d and unsupported, after
full inquiry; and the court further
found that said charges were presented
by said Albert T. Patrick under the
guise that he was a friend of the court
and without f e or other motive than
from the high moial[and disinterested
purpose of purging the.bar of a dishonor-
i able and unworthy member; and on in-
terrogatory from the court at the time
the motion was set for hearing, the said
Patrick express’y stated that he had no
fte or retention to move against. Eaid J.
C. Hutcheson, nor was he moved by
any malice or other improper moth e ;
and whereas, the court after hearing the
evidence was of opinion and did find
and adjudge that in said answer of said
Albert T. Patrick he did not disclose the
truth to this court, but the court found
in the following language:
And it further appearing to this court
that the recitation in said motion made
by the said Albert T. Patrick, that he ap-
peared herein as amicus curiae and that
his answer to the interrogation af the
court that he was not employed or other-
wise interested in the presentation of
said motion, than as a friend of the
court and a disinterested member of the
bar, is not true in fact, but it appearing
to this court that the said Albert T.
Patrick was in truth and in fact hired
and employed to present the said charges, him. He also has severe pains in the
it is therefore suggested by this court
that the district attorney of the United
States do prepare and present against
said Albert T. Patrick a motion charging
him with fraudulent and dishonorable
conduct and malpractice in thus mis-
leading this crurt in regard to his rela-
tion and motives in the presentation of
said unjust charges.
' Now, therefore, I do present that said
Albert T. Patrick was and is guilty of
fraudulent and dishonorable conduct and
malpractice in thus deceiving and mie-
le .dmg this court in regaid to his rela-
tion and motives in the presentation of
said unjust charges in the langurge
quoted from the decree as hereinbefore
stated; that the said Albert T. Patrick
was hired and employed to present and
} prosecute said motion to disbar J. C
Hutcheson, notwithstanding he stated
to the contrary; that said Patrick was
actuated by hatred, malice and hope of
reward and not as amicus curiae; that
t is said Albert T. Patiickbe cited to
show cause on such charges so pre-
sented why he should not be disbarred
’ and stricken from the rolls of this court
and his license to practice herein re-
voked, as provided in articles 228 to 231
of the revised statutes of the state of
Texas.
Attorney Hannay said that the trial of
Patrick for disbarment would not come
up for hearing at the present term of
court, which would adjourn today,
but would be heard during the February
term, when Patiick would be given
ample opportunity to show cause why he
si mid not ba disbarred for malpractice.

Admiral Da Mello is Said to Have Nam'd
the Prince Emperor of Brazil—The
Rumor Lacks Confirmation—The News
in Foreign Countries.
London, Nov. 18.—The news received
here from Madrid to the f ffmt that Ad-
miral de Mello has proclaimed Prince
Padro emperor of Brazil is much com
mented upon, and the confirmation or
denial of the report is anxiously ex-4
pected.
The news, however, is generally ac
cepted as being correct, as it comes here
from other sources in addition to the
dispatch from Madrid already referred
to.
The Exchange Jlelegraph company
says after Admiral de Mello bad pro-
claimed Prince Pedro as emperor he
put to sea with several of his ships in
order to intercept President Peixoto.
The news that transports are convey-
ing supplies of men, ammunition and
provisions to the taxing government at
Rio de Janeiro is not believed. How-
ever, the insurgent admiral is certain of
the interception cf the transports, as the
points of debarkation of the munitions
of war are not believed to have been
kept secret. (
A dispatch from Lisbon received here
this afternoon says the news of the proc-
lamation bf Prince Pedro as emperor of
Brazil is not yet confirmed, but the re-
port is generally believed at Lisbon, in
view of Admiral Mello’s known strong
monarchical tendencies.
A letter just receive d here by a promi-
nent London merchant says: “If De
Mello is beaten it will be a heavy blow
to British prestige. Peixoto is mad with
rage against the foreigners and especially
against the Briiish. De Mello is in-
clined precisely the othfr wav and con-
stant friendly communications are going
on between French, Italian and British
warships and Admiral de Mello while
German and American commanders
hold aloof.”
An Editor Shot.
London, Nov. 18.—A dispatch received
from Lisbon today siys that a messen-
ger who has arrived there from Brazil
announces that Senor Jose Pdrocipio,
editor of a newspaper, who has been
continually and strongly opposed to
President Peixoto, has been shot by or-
der of the president.

Billingsley turned and emptied his re-

shots came and ’then started for assist-
ance. As he was crossing the bridge
Gregory ran out with a Winchester and
fired three shots at him, killing him
at the third shot.
Billingsley was a fearless officer,

About dusk ypsterday afternoon

aboard of the schooner Hard Times,
lying at Pier 23,and tried, to secrete him-
self in the cabin.
The mate of the vessel attempted to
eject him, when the young man begged
to be allowed to remain on
board. “They will kill me,” he said;
“for God’s sake can’t I find some place
of refuge?”
The mate was somewhat startled by
the individual’s appearance and tried to
induce him to tell what the trouble was
but to every question the young man re-
plied, “They will kill me, where can I
go.”
He paced up and down the deck like a
madman, the blood pouring from a deep

The Arrest Made Through »u Accident
A Daughter of the Leader Takes a
Hand-One ef the Men Said to Be
from Texas.
Lincoln, HL, Nov. 18 —The Lincoln
police caught the Peoria, Decatur and
Evansville train bandits this morning
and landed them in the couniy jail.
They are William Shelter, Edward Van-
maer, Clarence Howe, all ex-convicts,
and Shelter’s daughter, Ida, as a prose-
cuting witness.
The capture of the bandits was an un-
expected bit of work. On November 9
a clothing store in Clinton was robbed.
The daughter? of Shelter began display-
ing gloves, silk handkerchiefs and jew-
elry, a circumstance which was speedily
reported to ths police.
An investigation was started and im-
portant information came out. Shelter
and two men, Vanmaer and Howe, ’new
arrivals here, were away from home the
night cf the tratn robbery. Detectives
bezan work on the case, and one day
sufficed to warrant the officers to take
the de-perate alternative of raiding
Shelter’s house. When the door was
burst in a gust of wind extinguished the
light, but a dark lantern flashed, and
Shelter was arrested in the attempt to
gain hold of a loaded revolver. The
other two men were in bed. The three
men were searched and marched to jail.
Shelter’s girl, so the story goes, was
disguised as a man and took part in the
train robbery, leading the party with
the brakeman when he was shot. It is
further charged that the girl precipitated
the acts which foiled the men in robbing
the train by not obeying orders. To
support this story ia the fact that when
the house was first raided a wagon load
of men’s and boys’ clothing was found,
which came from Clinton’s store. Sev-
eral overcoats, vests, pants and hats
were sprinkled with hayseed, proving
