THE SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS THE
SCOTT EXCLUSION LAW.
A Confidential Clerk Skipped—Fatal Affray
at a Dance — The Cruiser Charleston—
Death of Mrs. Dickenson—Judgment
Against City of New Orleans.
A Confidential Clerk Skipped.
St. Louis, May 13.—A dispatch from
Pueblo, Col., says Mr. L. Cornwall, a
jeweler of salid, visited the adjoining
town of March one day last week, leav-ing
his store and business in charge of
his clerk, a young jew named Strauss.
During Cornwall’s absence S.rauss
packed up $35,000 worth ot jewelry and
skipped the town on a freight train, tak-ing
the plunder with him. He has been
tracked to Pueblo and is trying to es-cape
in an easterly direction. Several
officers are after him.
Bloody Affray at a Dance.
Portsmouth, Ohio, May 13.—At a
dance last Saturday night on Twin creek,
seven miles below this city, several rough
characters were in attendance. Among
them were Wilsen and Amos Cooper,
brothers,, and Henry Nickels. The lat-ter
had several quarrels with the Cooper
boys and had warned them to keep their
distance. Later they had another clash
and hpt words were passed between
them, followed by two revolver shots in
quick succession, and the Cooper boys
fell dead to the floor, being shot by
Nickels.
Judgment for Myra Clark Gaines.
Washington, May 13.—The United
States supreme court to-day, in an opin-ion
by Justice Bradley, awarded the ex-ecutors
of the will of Myra Clatk Gaines
the sum of $576,000 against the city of
New Orleans for use of the property
sold by the city, but recovered by Mrs.
Gaines after long litigation. The judg-ment
of the lower court awarding the
executors $130,000 for use of improved
property held by the city was not con-curred
in.
- The Cruiser Charleston.
Washington, May 13:—Chief Fn-gineer
Mellville is of the opinion that the
cruiser Charleston will succeed in mak-ing
the necessary 7,000 horse power in
another trial. The tact that she made
steam so rapidly and was blowing it off
during the trial is regarded by the en-gineers
as promising the realization of
the horse power requirement when the
defect in the port engine is corrected
and the steam can all be used. The
contract requires the vessel to show 7,-
000 horse power for the builders to se-cure
the full contract price. She may be
accepted if she makes 7 000 horse power,
but any deficiency below 7,000 will sub-ject
the contractors to a penalty of $100
for each horse power lacking.

Confessed Their Crime.
Canton, O., May 13.—Frank Ryan
and Harry Sadler, the two young men
arrested yesterday upon a charge of at-tempting
to wreck the New York and
Chicago limited vestibule train on the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago rail-road,
twice recently, broke down this
morning and signed a confession of guilt,
giving details of their crime. Detectives
will arrest three other young men to-day.
They are now under surveillance.
The Fort Wayne Railroad company is
determined to send the men to the peni-tentiary.
The Cherokee Strip.
Tahlequah, I. T., May 13—The
Cherokees are somewhat exercised over
the attitude of Chief Joel B. Mays with
regard to sale of the Cherokee strip to
the United States. The initial step
toward the purchase is the calling
together of the Cherokee legislature for
approval of the sale. Chief Mays, how-ever,
refuses to convene the legislature.
The Indians are opposed to the sale and
so is Mays, but a powerful minority is
urging him to convene the general as-sembly
and settle the price to be paid for
the land, and it is understood the com-missioners
will offer $1.50 per acre but
the Cherokees are not likely to accept
that figure, holding that $4 or $5 per
acre would be no more than the land is
worth. While the diversity of opinion
as to the sale at any price is great, it is
understood the 6,000,000 acres embraced
in the strip could be disposed of lor
$24,000,000 to the government. Unless
Chief Mays can be prevailed upon to
convene the legislature, it would seem as
if the object of the commissioners will
be defeated, as no purchase can be made
without the sanction that body.
