BOX 484. THE HIGHBINDERS. Trial of the Six Alleged Chinese Murderers in St. Louis, Missouri. Farther Facts About the Gold-Blooded Harder of Jamos Dobaon By His Farm Hand, Holly Epps.

Old-Time Sneak-Thieves Arrested in Boston By Pinkerton'B Def tecUve'a. ST. Louis, January alleged Chinese murderers, Tuo 81ng, Oiyo Goom, 8)g POK, Hock Siagk, Chlo Chloajjk and Chyo Pok, wero brought up lor trial yesterday morning In the Criminal Conrt, where a large crowd had gathered to see the notorious highbind- ers. The proceedings were opened by Circuit Attorney' Clover, who announced to the Court that he had secured an Interpreter in the person of Wong Chin Foo, a vivacious little Chinaman, who will be remembered as having been somewhat successful as a lecturer six or seven years ago, but who lately has resided in New York city, where he earns bis livelihood as an Interpreter while studying with'a' view to becoming the Idgdr authority of the Chluesc'colony In the mctropo iis. i- Judge Langlilln, who, with Fauntlcroy, looked after the Interests of the defendants, objected to the sweating of the interpreter before found whether or not ho was -competent to serve.

The objection was 'overruled. The question arose as to' hOw 1 tlib', various defendants were to be Identified, but Ben Flnnoy rattled off their names so readily, and picked out the owner 'pi each so infallibly, that it at once become apparent that, as 1 long as'-the leonietl pundit remained on deck, there would 1 be no confusion with regard to the Confucians. Wong Chin Foo was sworn and then submitted to a lengthy and trying ex amlnation at the hands of Judge Laugh- lln who seemed to have We philological lore of Dr. Johnson, French, Washington Moon and Richard Grant White at Ills fingers'ends as he hurled conundrum after codiihdrnm at the little Chinaman, who, on the: whole, acquitted lilmsolf nobly; -He'Stated that there were; some hundreds of dialects in Cliina but that they wore all based upon the'Mandarin and as he was -brought up to talk Mandarin, he could understand what ajiy of the defendants would say and bo able to translate it Into English. After Wong had shown himself to be about as good an Interpreter as can be found in the laud he was allowed to act as such in the case, and Mr.

Finney proceeded to "read the lengthy Indictment in English, which being done, Wong translated it into Chinese, and all the defendants pleaded not guilty. The work of empaneling a jury was then taken up, and at one o'clock the Court took the usual recess. The Bloomlngton (Ind.) Tragedy. INDIANAPOLIS, January Bloomington (Ind.) special to the News says: "The murder of James Dobson by a hired hand named Holley Epps has developed into an unparalleled crime in the history of Indiana. Epps went to Dobson's bedside while he was asleep, cut his head open with an axe, then pnlled Mr.

Dobson out of bed, telling her she must submit to his desires. She resisted as long as possible, but the brute accomplished his object and left her exhausted with her dead husband. Epps still denies tlie rape, and says he killed Dobson In his sleep. The excitement is immense all through the county, and It is likely he will be taken to Bedford for safe-keeping. His feet are so badly frozen that he can not walk.

January While tho reception of Chief Justice and Mrs. Wai to was In progress Tuesday evening, the guests wore startled by the assembling of a large crowd In the street, and by the arrival of several flro engines.

Tho cause of disturbance proved to bo tho breaking out of an extremely hot flro in the mansard roof of tlie mansion a few doors below, occupied by General Foster, ex-Uuttod States Minister to Spain and Mexico. The occupants of the house Hardly learned ot tho trouble before tho arrival of the engines. Then every effort was made to remove from the liouse the valuable paintings and objects of art which Mr. Foster collected during stay abroad, and which are of Inestimable value to him. Besides, thoro was stored In one of the upper rod tho irldul trousscan of Miss Edith Foster, who was to be married last evening to Itcv.

He slipped and slid alone the pttvcmcnt amid the plaudits of the admiring crowd, mounted the steps of tho Walto' residence and fell Into tho arms of his friends who were waiting to receive him. After the fire was declared out and the engines had returned to their quarters, the full dress flre lighters wero tho lions of tho evening, though many of them found it difficult In the limp state of their shirt fronts to maintain a proper amount of dignity.

Mr. Stelnltz opened the game with pawn to 4. Mr. Zuckertort made the same reply. There was a hush of groat excitement at this point, as many supposed Stelnltz would open with tho famous Btelnitz gambit, about which there has been so much diversity ot opinion In regard to Its soundness; but there was a general air of disappointment when tho champion failed to essay his daring attack, and introduced a well-known safe game.

The hall was crowded with new arrivals of chess celebrities from all parts of the United St. Louis, Boston, Chicago and New Orleans being largely represented. Tho winning of the first game by Stelnltz has brought tho sporting clement to the front who, not being expert players themselves, had been waiting for some Indications of the relative strength of the champions. Odds are slightly in favor ot Stelnltz, and several very large bets were made at the odds of live to four in his favor. Dr.

Silver constitutes one-half the quantity ol all coin In world, and a stoppage of Us coinage would deprive the world of one-halt Us coin supply, and would double the purchasing power of tlie other half. This would 1)0 an enormous contraction. The fight against silver was a light against the people by the banks and bondholders.

Theodore Roosevelt's Lecture on Western Julie and the Indians, NEW YORK, January Roosevelt gave a lecture Tuesday night at the Young Men's Institute, on the Bowery, ou "Ranch Life in the West." Ills earlier talk on his adventures as a hunter of the grizzly had evidently captured the favor of the audience an'd the applause ou his appearance was long and hearty.

"My friends of the Institute seem to think," said he, "that I can talk only on two bear and the and the one I am to handle this evening is rather the more formidable of the two. After all, the cowboys are not the ruf- llans and desperadoes that the nickel library paints them. Of course, in the frontier towns, where the only recognized amusements are is more or less riot and (Unorder. But take the cowboy on Ills native heath, on the round-up, and you will find in him the virtues of courage, endurance, good-fellowship and generosity. He is not sympathetic.

The cowboy divides all humanity into two classes, the sheep and the goats, those who can ride bucking horses and those who can't; and I must say he doesn't care much for tho goats. I suppose I should be ashamed to say that I took the Western view of the Indian. I don't go so far as to think that the only good Indians are the dead Indians, but I believe nine out of every ten are, and I shouldn't like to inquire too closely Into the case of the tenth. Tim most vicious cowboy has more principle than the average Indian. Turn 800 lowfamilies of New York Into New Jersey, support them for fifty years in vicious Idleness and yon will have some tdea of what Indians are.

Reckless, revengeful, fiendishly cruel, they rob and murder, not the cowboys who can take care of themselves, but th defenseless, lone settlers on the plains As for the soldiers, an Indian chief ond asked Sheridan for a cannon. 'What, di you want to kill my soldiers with It? asked the General. replied th chief; 'want to kill cowboy; kill soldle with a club." The ranche is ephemeral Fences are spreading all over the western country, and by the end of the centur. most of it will be under cultivation. I lor one, shall be sorry to see it go; to when the cowboy disappears, one of the )cst and healthiest phases ot Western lit will disappear with him." ANDREW CLIFFORD.
