LEBANON. THURSDAY EVENING. MARCH 5, 1891. IN WHAT CONGRESS DID 'A Ifamber of Laws of Unusual Importance Enacted. 'TAIHT, EILVEE AHD OOPYEIGHT.

Tho Erer Memorable Fijjht Over tbe Federal Elections e.ons IncrcaBcd and Lotteries Sap- Harrison Vetoed Kleven Bills; Cleveland Nejralived JO1. WASEINGTOK, March great measures considered by the congress jnfit ended will take a prominent place in the historj- of legislation. These are the tariff act of 1SUO, tho federal elections Lill nnd the Bilrer bill. By the tariff act important changes in the customs laws were brought abont, and the first practical opportunity of testing the theories of the advocates of commercial reciprocity wt-re made certain. On July 1-1, 18UO, after a protracted struggle between the advocates of free and the conservatives on the silver question, a bill was enacted pro- Tiding for the issue of coin certificates based on gold or silver bullion, with a proviso that the secretary of the treasury should purchase ounces of silver bullion each month.

This bill wna the result of a compromise, in conference, between the two senate having passed afree coinage bill. Sliver and Federal elections. Early in the second session of the agitation on the silver question was resumed. A bill introduced by Senator providing for certain changes in the national banking gvBteui was amended in the finance committee, and reported back to the senate in the shape of a general financial measure. A long "debate resulted and finally the senate passed a free coinage bill pure and simple.

It was to the house, referred to tho proper committee, but never called np for action. Tim vacillatlnc careur of tbe federal elections bill giving tbe control of elections of members of tbe bouso of representatives to tlie government, ut wutcbed with intense interest throughout the country, and par- lie in tho south.

Another measure of importance that became a law iu the session was the direct tax bill, which provides for refunding the amounts levied iu certain states under the direct war tax of 1861. For American authors hau been clunoriug at the dpora of congress for the enactment of a law to give them protection liy means of an International copyright oa their writing. A bill having such an iuteu- tion was rejected by tho house, but another measure of a similar character was reported to that body and It was amended in many particulars by the senate, afterwards it was to in conference just at the end of tbe session.

Political prophets were somewhat surprised by the nature of toe bill apportioning representation iu tho several states according to tUeir population under the federal of 189 3. The depressed condition of agriculturists ot tbe country resulted in tbe Introduction of a number of measures intended to giro them xolief through the government, but aU failed of pasGHge.

The tax bill ia great bugbaar.

an 1 ic is believed that Governor Abbett and his lieutenants have stirred up Kazittoient that they had not been luo'idng for, and tney now want to adjoara without passing the bill. The assembly reapportionment bill is not yet ready to be introduced. Tho couimittes having it in charge are hav- iug some difficulty in satisfying all factions. It is pretty well settled that Essex and Hudson counties will each gain a new member by thj bill, and Morris and Burlington will each lose one. The bill will be iiitro iiiocd on Monday night.

COMDEX, N. March scenes that marked the opening of the Leconey trial were repeated at the of Francis Bnrton, or Lingo, the colored farm hand who is cnarijed with tha murder of Mrs. Annie Miller. For hoar before the court room opened, the doors on the Sixth street side of the old court house were besieged by a mob struggling to get a place preparatory to the rush marked the opening of the wide doors. In the forefront of the crowd, freshly shaved, and with his cheeks stiff used with a healthy color, stood Chalkley Leconey.

He entered the court room where but a year ago he had atooJ in jeopardy of his We, and quietly tojlc .1 seat on the fourth bench from the front on the left of the main aisle. Judge Garrison presided, with his associates, Judges Gaunt Prosecutor Jenkins at once moved the inJict- nient Francis Burton, alias Lingo, for murder. At this tho prisoner was brought in. He a attired iu a dark striped suit, a snuff colored spring overcoat, and wore if big caineo pin in his tie. He entered with a sprightly tep, and without looking at the audience took a seat between his counsel.

Lingo's wife, an under sized, copper colored woman, with a. bright face, now came in. and was given a seat on the same bench with Chalkley Leconej-. Drawinjf the Jury. It took an hour and a quarter to select a jury, which was finully ina-Vi up as follows: David A.

Bnrrough, Delaware township, foreman; ex-Constable "William T. White, Camden; William C. Clark, Merchantville; John B. Peters, Centre township; Benjamin F. Moore, Gloucester; M.

N. Nichols, Cedur Brook; Joseph L. Robinson, CamUen; Charles F. Redman. Ha.l.lon towu- ship; Jacob T.

Fish, Cauiden; llartiu Coyle, Gloucester; James E. Gibbs, Waterford township; Jolin H. Riddle, Camden. After the witnesses had excluded Assistant Prosecutor Huljjway opened the case for the state. Hs outlined to the jury the crima, stating that on Sept.

23 last Mrs. Annie Miller, wife ot a farmer on the Hampton five mile from Camden, left horns at 9:30 to go to Moorestown. She returned to Merchantville on the train which arrived at that afternoon and was seen going Mitchison's woods- towards home. Her bo.ly u-xs fotia 1 iu the woods by a searching party at 5:13 on the afternoon of the next day. Her throat -was cut and she had bee.n outraged.

Lingo was seen entering tlie woods; when nrrestsd there were scratches on the hands and face, bloo 1 was found on his undershirt, blue lian- nel shirt and overalls, and in the scrapings taken from under his nails, blood was found. A search of his home brought to light a razor. City Surveyor Levi Farnham tesliCed that there wero about twenty-four acres in the tract of woods lirush land in which the murder was committed. The body lay about sixty feet from the path in the woods where Mrs. Miller is supposed to have been fu-it assaulted.

John Miller Testifies. John Miller ths husband of the murdered woman, was placed on the stand. He is a quiet, subdued looking mau, about 35 years old, with d-irk brown hair, and a small sandy mustache. He arose at daybreak en Sept. 23.

tao morning of the murder. He hitched up his team and came to Camden for a load of coke that day. He got back home between 4 and 4:30 o'clock. His wife was not home. He found ont from his wife's sister that Mrs.

Miller had none to Moorestown. He thought she wuald be home that afternoon. He waited for her until evening, and went to JMer- chantville to meet several trains, but his wife did not come. The last train he met was 12:20. The next morning he went to the train again, and he found that his wife had coins from Moorestowu the previous afternoon.

He never saw his wir- after she left him alive until the next Sunday, when her body was shown him in his house. On cross examination witness testified that he searched for his wife on the night of the murder, accompanied by a colored man, Charles Wilson. They were in the woods, bat did not find tho body. The next morning he iiotiaod the constables and joined in the search. He denied making certain statements attributed to him at the first examination on Sept.

EAEP.ISBURO, March the senate Mr. Robinson arose to a question of priviU-ge and read an editorial which claimed that he would have to resign either his seat in the state senate or his position as congressman. Senator Robinson carefully prepared speech, in which he said that he proposed to remain ia the senate until the expiration of his term. His position, he said, gave satisfaction to his constituents and himself.

They do not desire Delaware county to "ue unrepresented when legislation affi-cting the interests of that county might arise at any time. He quoted a number of precedents to estao- lish the justice and wisdom of the position "ne Lad taken. The senator said that his original intention was to resign on March 4, but an examination of the authorities convinced him that he would not become a member of congress until he took the oath of office. Tho senate by a vote of 31 to 9 refused to coufirm the nomination of Henry O. Deming to lw general.

The act reimbursing the comities of the commonwealth for the re-erection of county bridges which were swept away by the flood of 1889 was passed finally.

Although 3 Prison Cell, Still 'tis Home, Sweet Home! BETTER THAN BOREAS' DRIVING BUSTS So Say 'John and Joe Ilothgaber. Jaceb SeheU and Levi Becker, the Burglars "Who Left Onr County Jail on Sunday Jflsht and Returned After a few Days and Nights Spent Tramping and in Barns with the March Winds Blowing Through Their Scanty Clothes. The last two of the four escaped prisoners are back again in the county prison, and one of the happiest men in Lebanon is Sheriff Thomas V. Miller, who greeted them most heartily on their return to the JiiL Jacob Schell and Levi Becker, like the Rothgabers, regretted the jail escapade and no doubt are sorry that they ever entered into the conspiracy to commit the act. Constable Hunter on Tuesday visited Maulfair's store, at the Union Water with a view of discovering whether Schell had returned to his home, but he did not make a search.

At the store he learned that Schell had been seen hi the neighborhood, and after having become convinced in his own mind that Schell was in the vicinity, he left for home with the intention of returning on the morrow to make a fuller investigation. Yesterday afternoon, with a mend, he again left the city, and after making an examination of the surroundings of the home of Schell, entered the house, and there found Schell and Becker, who surrendered themselves and at once signified their willingness to accompany Hunter to Lebanon, arriving here about 6:30. Schell lives at Fasnacht's mill, near the Union Water Works, and it was natural that tho attractions there would aw him to where ho would see his family. The news of the arrest of the men spread with lightning rapidity, and when the officers walked up Eighth street to the jail with the prisoners hundreds of people swelled the crowd, all anxious to see the men who by their escapade had made themselves notorious. They passed along quietly arfd had very little to say, AHhcugh the loud clamor of the crowd fhad the effect of arousing them, for one jwas heard to say, "this ain't no show." They soon reached the prison, and accosted by the Sheriff, Schell was not slow in saying "Sheriff, I didn't strike you." "Jake," replied tho Sheriff, "I know yon didn't.

It was lights were turned I could see who struck me." This tvas about all that Schell'had say, while Becker remained quief. The Sheriff soon had matters arranged and the prisoners were marched into the corridor, folio-red by a group of reporters. Becker was placed in the southwest and Schell in the southeast corridor. They were ordered to undress, and then it was discovered that they each wore a double suit of clothes. These they donned for others.

A search revealed that Schell had $3.75 in one of his pockets. He manifested some concern regarding its disposition, after being promised by the Sheriff that proper care would be taken of it, he became somewhat mollified. One of the reporters, in his efforts to gain a little information, stepped np to Becker and asked him whether he, with Schell, had been at tha lime kiln near the Blue Rocks. Ho looked up with a sardonic smile and replied: "It's none of your business whether I was or not. You have published enough lies about me, and I don't intend to give you any information." Becker's liver probably has got out of order by the exposure of the past few days, so that his choleric ctate was excusable.

The reporter walked away with a smile, while Becker stood under his cell door with only a shirt on, ready to enter his cage for the night. Schell, when asked who struck Wm. West on Sunday night while making the escape, replied that Joe Rothgaber struck the blow. John Rothgaber denies that he struck West, aud the probabilities arc that Joe is the guilty man who came within an ace of killing West, whose condition at the hospital is still serious. The manner in which Constable Hunter managed the task of locating and arresting the men proves it to be a fine piece of detective work, and certainly whatever credit is attached to it Constable Hunter should have.

Were the Party at the Lime Kiln Becker, in a conversation this morning with Constable Sattazahn, stated that he, on Tuesday, was ready to return to prison, hut owing to his bad shoes he had no disposition to walk through the mud and snow. He owned up to tho fact that last Monday he and Schell spent a portion of the day at the lime kiln, at Blue Rock, but having attracted too much attention, they hastily left the place. Charged with Jail Breaking. This morning Sheriff Miller charge of jail against Joe and John Rothgaber, Levi Becker and Jacob Schell. The warrant was sworn out before Alderman Garrett and was served on the prisoners this morning by Constable Sattazahn.

They did not ask for a hearing. It is quite likely that another charge will be entered against them. Additional TVarrants. Constable Hunter this morning went before Alderman Robert L. Miller and swore out a warrant on Becker and Schell, charging them with jail breaking, while Sheriff Miller charged the Rothga- and Becker and Jacob Schell with aggravated assault and battery, the warrants of which were served on prisoners by Hunter.

He claims Schell and Baker as his prisoners, notwithstanding that Sattasohn has served -warrants on the four men for the same offence. We.t's Condition. The condition of William West, who so cruelly itruek down on night of the jail escapade, and on the following day was removed to the Good Samaritan Hospital, is materially improved.
