ALL OB NONE If Gaines Goes Free So Must the Others. JUDGE CilTRiLL'S IISTRUCTIOHS. Arguments- Well Begun In the Bribery Conspiracy Case. A VERDICT LIKELY MONDAY. little Additional Testimony Of- fered Before the Case Closed.

JHE DEFENDANTS ARE ALL CONFIDENT Frankfort, Ky Sept. IS. (Special. Testimony In the conspiracy-to-bribe case came to a rather abrupt close today. The argument was fairly begun when the court, at 1 o'clock, adjourned for the reek.

The conclusion of the ar gument will consume most of Monday's usually short session, and a verdict. If any Is reached, will hardly come before late Monday evening or Tuesday morn ing. The Instructions to the jury, taken In connection with, the abrevlated testimo ny, makes a' conviction, according to the opinion of those who heard the en tire trial, wellnigh Impossible. Dr. Hun ter's friends, so far as be himself Is concerned, only fear a hung jury, and con fess that be would nearly as soon see a conviction as this, to him, very unsat isfactory result.

The testimony given by less than half the witnesses) summoned, but searching In this regard, failed to connect the names of Gov. Bradley or. ex-Senator Blackburn with' either the Indictment the events leading up thereto. The failure of either- the prosecution or defense to place their most prominent witnesses on the stand curtailed much of the Interest In the trial so far as the crowd of spectators in attendance waa concerned. The concluding evidence to-day was all by the Hunter section of the defense, except Gaines, who was recalled to state that he did not say he was not at the Capital Hotel, but that he was not there while he was carrying on his "fake negotiations) with Franks, Wilson and Hunter.

The other witnesses of the forenoao were Dr. C. K. Wallace, Frankfort; Rep resentative S. Dodson, of Louisville; Senator Deboe, J.

McKenzle Todd.Frank- 'art? C. I Lambert. Frankfort; State Senator Dingus, Representative Speed, of Louisville; Representative Carton, Louisville; Representative C. M. Harriett, of Ohio.

These all testified principally to the whereabouts of Hunter from 7 or 7:15 o'clock to 10 o'clock on the night of- Thursday. April 1. and as to having seen Gaines at the hotel some time during the session. It was never at- tempted to prove the whereabouts of Hunter on that night prior to 7:15 o'clock, the latter being the hour at 'which Tan ner and Gaines had said be was at Gaines' house. The Instructions In full were as fol- In wa if the jury believe from the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the de fendants, W.

Godfrey Hunter. J. H. Wtl-- aon and E. T.

In the discretion of the Jury.

Unleas the said defend-- ants have been proved guilty beyond a reasonable- doubt, the Jury ought to And in em not gumy. Second The Jury Is Instructed to find the defendant. Noel Gaines, guilty and fix his punishment as set out In the first Instructions, unlesa the Jury shall believe from the evidence that the said Noel Gaines made the agreement and arrange ment aa mil tea Dy mm to nave been made by him with said defendants Hunter, with the Intention on the part of said Gaines to deceive the said co-defendants ani not to carry, or attempt to carry, smid admitted agreement Into effect, mi If they shall so believe they ought to find saia aeienaant uaines not guilty. If the Jury And the defendant Gaines not guilty they ought to acquit all of said defendants. Third The Jury Is Instructed that the meetings, conferences and conversations naa oeiween the defendants, Wilson and Gaines and Franks and Gaines, is not competent testimony against the defendant Hunter, unless the jury believes from the evidence that the same were had la pursuance of an understanding and agree- ini-m oerween tne said Hunter and Gaines.

John W. Rodman, of counsel for Hun ter. Pranks and Wilson, made the first speech, bitterly excoriating the methods Tanner and Gaines and their evidence that he claimed had been proven false. Judge Julian, forj Galnea. followed in aa ingenious ana forceful argument, sparing and mincing mo words when he referred to Hunter! and Franks and Wilson, whom he charged with being Hunter's tools In attempting a disreputable piece of business.

He held It was Imma terial to tne acquittal of his client wneiner ne or Hunter' told the truth about Hunter's being at his (Gaines') house, and. while disclaiming anv nrt In the prosecution expressed regret that the necessary acquittal of his client carried with It. under the Instructions or the court, the acquittal of the other tnree. At the conclusion of Judge Julian's speecn tne court adjourned till Mondav. The speeches then will be by Judge r-ryor, ror Hunter, rames and Wilson: by County Attorney Polsgrove and Commonwealth a Attorney Smith for tne prosecution.

KLONDIKE SUPPLIES Secretary Alger Worried As io now io uet lb era There. Washington. Sept. 18. Secretary Alger Is now engaged in an attempt to solve the question of how to get supplies Into the 'Klondike gold regions, and thereby prevent the threatened starvation of many mlnera The great Tukon river, which has formed the "main re- llance of the miners as a means of getting their supplies up to Dawson.

Is SECTION I THE COURIER-JOURNAL. LOUISVILLE, SUNDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 19, 1897 without doubt already closed to naviga tion by boats, and the mountain passes via Chllkoot are almost Impassable. The problem, therefore. Is a hard one and has taxed the best thought not only of Secretary Alger, but of his brother.

Cabinet officers and of the President, for it has been anxiously discussed in the coun cils of the Administration. Now, however, It Is believed by the Secretary that by means of a novel char acter transportation for supplies into the gold country may be provided even In the midst of an Alaskan winter. He has opened a correspondence indirectly with a Chicago Inventor who makes a loco motive sled, designed originally for use in logging camps, but which, it is hoped. may be readily adapted to-the naviga tion of the Tukon when it la rrosen thickly. With a few of these machines placed on the river it is' hoped that a sufficient supply of food and other nec essary store may be carried" up the Yukon to relieve all distress among tbe miners.

The Secretary haa already had some experience with this kad of locomotive. so that the scheme Is not so radical an experiment aa It would at first thought seem to be. When engaged In lumbering In the Northwest he tried tbe engine practically and found that it was capable of pulling many tons of logs on sleds at good speed, even as high as twelve miles an hour. The engine la boxed ki like a freight car, and the engineer and fire man thereby protected from the rigors of the winter. io-oay secretary Alger teiegrapnea to Mr.

Weare. President of the Alaskan Transportation Company, at Chicago, to see the inventor of this apparatus and then to come to Washington to talk over the possibilities of the scheme with him. Mr. Weare will do so, and is expected here to-morrow. A telegram waa also sent to Joseph Ladue.

the founder of Dawson City, and supposed to be now at Flattsburgh, jj. inviting him to come here to consult with Secretary Alger on this subject and give him tbe benefit of bis practical knowledge of tbe Tukon region, and tell how tbe engines may be supplied with fuel on the run up the river. Word came to the War Department late this afternoon that the transporta tion company bad chartered tbe steamer Humboldt to start from Seattle to St. Michaels as soon as possible. INDICTED FOR GAMING.

Representatives and Their Friends Caught In tne Dragnet. That Little Card Game At Frankfort Turns Up In the Courts. Frankfort, Ky Sept. IS. (Special) In the midst of the Hunter trial to-day the grand Jury came quietly down, and with tbe knowledge of few of those In the court-room made to the Court a par tial report, containing what soon be came nearly as much of a sensation as had been created by the indictment and trial.

The Jury reported true bills for gaming against Representative) W. H. Stiglitz. John HoUenbach and R. H.

Dora, of Louisville; Representative John H. Johns, of Floyd county; James K. Stone, the assistant clerk of the State Senate, and- CapC Albert E. Scott, of Louisville, who. like Mr.

Dorn, were In vited to "sit In the game." and were also caught In tbe Indictments. A story Is told here to the effect that the grand Jury, which started In to In vestigate the case with a view of returning felony Indictments against Stiglits and Hollenbach. concluded that it was only a sociable game and decided to drop the matter, when officers of the court saw in the newspapers where some of the accused had been talking rather too volubly, and again called the attention of the grand Jury to 1U duty and privilege in tbe matter, with the present result. Mr. Vf.

H. Stiglits. when seen by a Courier-Journal reporter last night, said: The Indictments against us will amount to nothing. They can not possibly bold good, aa the public will in time' see. We are not in the least alarmed over the matter.

In fact, we knew that the In dictments would be returned against us. and the news to-day did not come in tbe way of a surprise. I want to repeat that the Indictments are all bosh. The whole affair hi more of a Joke than any thing else." Cot Scott said that the whole thing was a surprise to him. and that be had received no official notice of the finding of the indictments.

The only sure way to cure every form of plies is to use a remedy like the Pyramid Pile Cure which Is applied directly to the parts affected and Its wonderful healing effects are apparent from tbe first application because the medicinal properties are rapidly absorbed by tissues and sensitive membranes of the rectum, and the cure la made speedily and almost before the patient Is aware of it every trace of piles fcas left him. This Is one of the reasons why the Pyramid Pile Cure has been so uniformly successful.

THE NEW TARIFF Given All tbe Credit For Good Times By a Jersey Congressman. SAYS IT IS ALL RIGHT And Has Greatly Benefited the Western People. Washington. Sept. IS.

(SpeclaL) Representative Fowler, of New Jersey. Is In Washington to-day, having recently returned to the East from an extensive trip through the Western country. He extended his trip to the far West, and visited Arizona and New Mexico Terri tories. "The people of that section of the country, said Mr. Fowler, "consider that they are worth Just twice as much to-day aa they were a year ago.

That condition has been brought about prin cipally by the return of prosperity, occa sioned by the new tariff law. The peo ple of the West realise that the new tariff law is a general and not a local measure. It benefits the West Just much as does the East. In Arizona and New Mexico cattle raising and sheep raising are two leading industries. Wool and hides are protected under the new tariff law, and tbe people are get ting twice aa much for their hides and wool as they were before tbe new law went Into effect.

No one particular in dustry or line of business, however, ab sorbs all of the benefits growing out of the return of prosperity. Everything is benefited directly or indirectly, and in dustries that are not directly concerned in the tariff are prospering through sym pathy. "Coming further East I found the same condition existing in Kansas City. I have been familiar with- that section for the last fourteen years. Three or four years ago Kansas City was over-dona by a building boom.

Now not only have the surplus buildings been occu pied, but the city is actually ready for more buildings. Kansas City whole salers and Jobbers are very busy, and that is an indication of good times pre-vailinar In a wide area of country, for Kansas City la the distributing point of an extensive section. Senator Lindsay left for Kentucky this afternoon. The Senator yesterday received a telegram from John Woods asking him to go to the White House and find out the status of Woods case. but owlnsr to the number of callers and the.

long conference between the President and Gen. Lee the Senator waa un able to obtain an interview. He was in hopes that the President would make some expression aa to the future civil- i service policy of the Administration. Although In receipt of numerous letters and requests from Chairman Carroll and others. ex-Secretary Carlisle doubts very much If he will be able to speak In Ken tucky this Mr.

Carlisk haa several Important cases In the Supreme Court, and as they might be called up at any time bis presence In this city for his own personal interest is an absolute neces sity. If, however, an arrangement can possibly be made he Is sure to make one or two speeches next month. The appointment of Charles M. Dick inson, of New York, to be Consul at Con stantinople is a big surprise to Mr. Luth er Short, of Franklin.

Ind. His friends have been claiming the position for him for several months, and everything was nxea until tbe appointment was made to-day. Mr. George Castle, of Louisa, re cently removed from the superln tenden cy of plates and dies at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is again in Washington after a position. In a great many cases when Democrats are removed they are informed that the de partment will do lta best to get them some other position, in is pretenaea sympathy and "jollying along" is al ways taken in earnest by the removed.

It is only discovered after the constant 'the Secretary will reach your case in a few days" is repeated several dozens of times and the last cent has gone. Eight postmasters were appointed for Kentucky to-day. J. D. Irvln.
