In accordance with that arrangement, when the court waa called to order this morning, Judge Mo Connell announced his opinion to be that the evidence sought to be elicited from Officer Bruwn, on the points named, waa incompetent and ruled it out. Judge McConaeira ruling was ss fol lowa The offer of the State's Attorney Is to by the witness on the stand that he preferred certain charges tour years ago, in a Clan-na-Gael camp, against Dr. Cronln; that a committee was appointed to try the doctor upon the charges; that one of the committee was the defendant, Daniel Coughlin, and that the finding of the committee was treason, and the penalty fixed was expulsion.

I have given the matter 'the most careful consideration and 1 hava come to the conclusion that the evidence ought not be admitted, and that it would be aa errur to allow it to go to the Jury.

Senator Davis going to his home in St, Psul, and Senator Thurston to Omaha, Senators Dawes, Frye and Piatt left for the East by wsy of Chicago. The com mittee has not yet decided formally upon the nature ot the report that will be submitted to the Senate, and will not until after Congress meets. In sn In terview this evening Senator Frye said the committee bad found the roads west of the Rocky Mountains to be only fair, and those east of the Rockies in first-class condition. None of the Senators would talk freely their forthcoming report, but air. Frye said that two things had been determined upon by the investigation: flrsU the Government's security for the debt of the iacino roads was ample; second, the business of the roada indicated that the di-bta could be paid if reasonable extension was given by the Government.

It was probable, therefore, he said, that the committee would recommend an extension of time, say fifty yeurs, during which the debts could he lifted and tha retirement of the debts by annual payments baaed on a certain percentage of the pet -earnings ot the roads.

Oa HIS 0PHJT0BT OT JUDGX X.SWIS. To the Editor of tha Orarter-Jourmal.) Creek, Harlan county, Kyn For. 11. -Nearly all the papers of the mountains criticize the Courier-Journal for striking at crimes ot Bloody Harlan. As for myself, I confess that the Courier-Journal, together with all the other papers of Kentucky, cannot criti cise or condemn Harlan county any more than aha rightfully deserves; for there is no use in trying to get around tha truth.

But it seems that all the bloodshed, and the causes therefor, have been heaped upon my devoted head- Let the people ot Kentucky and of the United States understand that there has been a feud In Harlan county ever since the late war perhaps, fere the late war, for I can not remember and that the Turners have been at tha head of one of the factions ever since the feud baa existed; then the people can understand that am not tha cause ot aU the bloodshed. Figures can not enumerate nor language exaggerate tha number of Crimea the Turners and their followers have perpetrated, for they are noted as thieves and murderers. The Turners have always ruled the town Hi Pleasant (Harlan Court-house), for the reason that they were the first to live in the town, and would not al low anyone except some sympathizer to live In tha town, for they owned all the lands near by. Men were always afraid to go to town on account of the Turners- raising a with them. Every man who intended to Uve in the town first had to pass an examination before the Turners, and it he failed to join their faction, ha waa drummed out of town or else took his Ufa in his bands.

Lytic shot one ot the Turners, and then ran Into an old house, where he was sheltered till dark and then made his escape. 'Just after the war. James Turner, of robber and murder tame, reigned. Ha is now in the State penitentiary for Ute.

Mora than tour men teU victims ot his dislike, snd several more were wounded, among whom may be mentioned Judge James Middle ton, who took an active part ia the late trouble, on account ot bis daughter marrying John Cawood'a son. Ever since 1880, George B. Turner and bis sou have been the leaders of the Tumrc faction. Not many years ago. William Gduert was wayiaid and killed by one of G.

B. Turner's sons. George concealed his sons, and defied the othcera, and the officers, through tear, refused to search for the concealed murderers. George kept his sous aaay unal be got them pardoned. Young Bob Turner, one of the aociucd murderers cf Gilbert, picked a quarrel with Wicks Howard, drew bis pistol, and made YY icks get down on bis knees and pray.

A few days alter. Wicks came to town, and about the first min ha saw was Bob. who had olaced himself in the street and defied icks to pata. Wicks shot Boh with a musket and killed him. Wicks bad his trial, and came dear.

Prior to this time some ef the Turners and mvself had some trouble abcut my father and myself trying to arrest the 1 union. It seems ever since that time, they have disliked me, and now from the voice of the pres it seems that my friends and mvself have become tha outlaws," and they the Law and Order" On or two rears rfter Wicks Howard killed Bob Turner, ani after Wicks had been pronounced clear by the law, W.

Alter Turner had fired some two or three times' at Wicks, the wnmn in the bouse suoreedina' In setting Turner out of doors. Wick fired through the door and hit Turner in tha arm.

Will Turner then left the State, and waa gone for soma time, when George 11 Turner wrote for him to return. Will had iwek but one day, when Geprse sent the Howards word to come to toVn, that his eon had returned. This was oa Saturday, 'lhe next Monday waa County Court day. Wicks Howard and James 1 Howard and myself went to court, 'live Turners and Howards got into a flifht, in which W. Was killed, James L.

Howard and myself were indicted. We tiled a bond of slo 000. My father at this t'-me lived in town, and ahortiy srter, isony and ueorge Turner, drew their pistols on mother and threatened to kill her and all arr children. My mother eame and told me bat bad d. Htxt mora- tvw ins 1 w's ia town.

The Nolan brothers hud moved to Harlan, and were doing a large bunt, ness, which interfered with the interests of the Turner faction. The Turners got Lewis and induced him to issue war.

The manaaer ot the paper at Harlan charged, in his paper, that every mn ektn to WMsoa Howard is in my posse.

He-Is a tramp of the first-class trom-fieorgia. It ia strange that every preacher that comes to Harlan turns out to be a general bushwhacker and One by the name of Armor took a big band ia the last feud. The reason Judge Lewis takes such an active part with the Turners is because he married into the families ot the Turners end Ca woods. He never baa put a warrant in the Sheriff's hands, nor baa he ever issued any against me. unless be keeps it himself.

I now close by eommendlng to the pub-He the true history ot the Turner and Howard feud. WJLfcON B. HOWARD. THE EMO OF THE BUH. The Pan-Americans Arrive In Washington Ready.

For the Congress. How the Pennsylvania Bailroad Company Fulfilled All It v' Promises. Washington; Nov. 13. Just forty-two days after the morning et October when the special train bearing the International American excursion party pulled eut of the Pennsylvania railroad station in Washington, the same train, headed by the locomotive which bad drawn it nearly 4,000 miles, rolled triumphantly into theetty and drew up at the station, bavin successfully com pleted the most interestlnx, and.

"It was planned that instead of tak ing tha more direct Southern route from Philadelphia to Washington, the train ahould run down by way of Ilarriaburg, so tnat the delegates might are: the beautiful (Susquehanna Valley and the rich tannins' lands ot that rart nt Penn sylvania, fbia plan was followed, but unfortunately tne country waa not seen as its Dcst, as tne lowering skies and the Heavy driving ralna confined the landscape within narrow bounds.
