An Atlanta special of the 15th fnst. says;
“A curious suit in equity has been brought in
this county by Thomas King in order to estab

King when a young girl was married in

the first battle of Bull Run. In 1863. believing
that her husband was dead, she married Thos.
King. The couple moved to LaGrange. Ga.,
where they lived happily until last year, three
children being born to them, aged respectively
17, 15 and 13 years. One vear ago Mr. King
was shocked to hear that the long missing
husband still lived. He immediately separa
ted from his wife, and was inclined to sue for
a divorce. He was advised that the marriage
having been invalid the case could not be set
tled by divorce proceedings, so he has just
filed iti the Fulton Superior Court a bill in
equity praying that his alleged wife and three
children be cited before the spring term of
court to answer the bill, and prays the court,
•in order to determine his relations toward
said Alarv King and children and toward
society, and to fix the legal status of said chil
dren, to annul said marriage and declare it
void.’”
The Rome Bulletin of January iti says:
“Monday afteruoon a commercial traveler by
the name of Enos, said to be from Philadel
phia. called in at the Central Bakery of A. Af.
Antognoli A Cos., and handed a note to a
young lady who clerks there—a sister-in-law
of Air. A. AI. Antognoli—which read as fol
low-: ’Can I meet you to-night'- Fix the
hour." The 3'oung" lady told him she
would show the note to her brotlier
in-law and lie would answer it. The
commercial traveler theu began, so
the young lady says, to threaten her if she
showed tiie note or told of his indecent propo
sal, saying that it would be all the. worse for
her, and that she had best keep her mouth
shut. Air. A. AI. Antognoli, upon being made
acquainted with the facts, licgan a hunt for
the said Enos yesterday morning. He met
him in front of the bakery and knocked him
down and beat him and cuffed him and wiped
up the sidewalk all around there with him
until sheriff Mathis interfered and peace was
restored. The said Enos quickly repaired to
the Central Hotel, and though Marshal Ma
gruder and his entire force have hunted him.
nowhere cau he be found. Air. Antognoli is
also looking for him, as he wishes to wipe up
the sidewalk again.”
A Grifiin special of the 15tli inst. says: “The
killing of a colored girl named Hood, and the
suicide of her murderer, develop features
which do uot warrant the claim made by the
friends of the dead man, that lie was out of
his mind. Brewster McWilliams, 16 years
old, a wild young fellow, who had been al
lowed, from"his earliest boyhood, the free use
of fire-arms, wa* the son of It. P. McWilliams,
a prominent citizen. He had been out hunt
ing in the afternoon, and returning,
had sent Ids gun home by a boy. When
a short distance away from his father's house
he stopped a moment and engaged in
conversation with a young mulatto girl. A
negro woman, who passed through “a gate
near which they were standing, heard the
crack of a pistol and saw the girl fall, and
saw Brewster immediately put the pistol to
his head and shoot himself. The girl died
almost iustantly, but the boy was taken home
and lived an hour, although he was uncon
scious to the last. The ball went into one
side of liis head close to the ear and out ou the
other side. The shots were fired from a
Smith ,V Wesson revolver, which had only
three cartridges in it at the time, one being
found in it afterwards. Whether he quar
reled with the girl and shot her 011 the im
pulse of the moment, and with swift reflec
tion killed himself to avoid the consequences
of his rasli act, or whether he was playing
with the pistol and shot her accidentally, and
tilled with anguish, shot himself as soon as he
saw what lie had done, will probably never be
known.”

Railroad people are taking a lively inter

ting of freight rates. They gay that their
rates on fertilizers to stations north of
Atlanta are the same. For instance, rates
from Charleston to Powder Springs are
the same as from Brunswick to Powder
Springs, paying to Atlanta $2 50 per ton
on business going to Powder Springs,
while the rate to Atlanta proper
is $3 42 per ton. They also
deny the statement that they have ever
given special or private rates, as charged.
Thev say that they are siuq.lv giving the
same rates from stations on the South
western Railroad, of Georgia, to Savannah
and other points as are made by the Cen
tral, of Georgia, from the same points,
paying local rates of the Southwestern
Railroad up to Alaeon and dividing what
is left betweeu themselves and their con

Washington, Jan. 17.—The satisfac
tory information comes direct from the
AVhite House to-night to the News cor
respondent that the backbone of Farrow’s
strength with the President has been
broken, and that he will not be appointed
to succeed Judge Erskine. Farrow’s
record was too much, it appears, for the
President to swallow. That’s what kills
him, according to the information, despite
the fact of the Republican party of Geor
gia being at his back. The people of the
Savannah district have George A. Mercer
to thank for preventing Farrow from be
ing put upon them if the information is
correct, and it has always heretofore been
in matters of Georgia Federal appoint

Judge Twiggs seems to be looming up.
GOLD AND SILVER CERTIFICATES.
The Secretary of the Treasury sent to
the House to-day in response to a resolu
tion offered by Mr. Wood, of Indiana, ou
the 10th inst., a communication iu rela
tion to the issue of gold and silver certifi
cates between December 1, 1878, and
December 1. 1881, and during the years
1882 and 1883. Mr. AYood, who introduced
the resolution calling for the information,
says that he did so because of a feeling
among AA'estern business men that the
issue of gold and silver certificates
has been limited in the interest of
tiie national hanks. Secretary Folger
in his communication to the House replies
that the amountof gold certificates issued
between December 1, 1878, and December
1, 1881, is $2,500; that the issue of such
certificates was discontinued by a depart
ment telegram of December 1, 1878, to the
U. S. Assistant Treasurer at New York,
aud that the reasons for the non-issue
were fully set forth in published letters
relating to specie aresumption and the re
funding ol" the nations! debt, contained in
an executive document of the second ses
sion of the Forty-sixth Congress. He
states that he was" not at the head of the
department until November 14, 1881,
and has no personal knowledge
of the reasons for his predeces
sor’s action in the matter. The
amount of gold certificates issued during
the last six months of 1882 and the whole
of 1883 is, he says, $107,060,000. These
certificates were issued in accordance
with the provisions of the act of July 12,
1882, which authorized and directed the
Secretary of the Treasury to receive de
posits of gold coin and to issue certifi
cates therefor; and he says that the rea
son why the issue has been limited
to the sum named is that the law enjoins
the department to issue no more certifi
cates than were covered by deposits of
gold coin or bullion. With respect to the
discontinuance of the issue of silver cer
tificates there have been issued in accord
ance with the act of February 28, 1878, to
the full amount of standard silver dollars
deposited there for such issue from Jan
uary 1, 1881,to December3l, 1883. amount
ing to $1111,790,000. Both gold and silver
certificates, he states, have been issued
to the lull extent required by the acts of
July 12,1882, and February 28, 1878.
LIEUT. GRKELY’S RELIEF.
Tiie President transmitted to Congress
to-day a communication from the Secre
tary of War and the Secretary of the
Navy, setting forth the necessity for an
other expedition to Smith’s Sound for the
relief of the Signal Service party under
Lieut. Greely, and several messages re
commending that an appropriation for
that purpose be at once made. Secretaries
Lincoln and Chandler, in their letter to
the President, say:
‘•The board of officers of the army and
navy convened by the President December 17,
1883. to consider a Greely relief expedition, is
of the opinion that the control of the expe
dition should lie committed to the Navy De
partment; that it is indispensable that it
should he on the ground at the earliest pos
sible time. There is no record of vessels hav
ing passed Cape Vork. thenorihernmost point
of Melville Bay, before June 1. and therefore
the expedition should arrive at Upper Navik,
the most northern Danish settlement in
Greenland, not later than May 2rt,
aud should he fitted and in complete readi
ness to leave New York not later than May 1.
The board recommends the immediate pur
chase of two full-powered steam whalers, or
steam scalers, of from 500 to 000 tons displace
ment, and that these vessels should he thor
oughly equipped with heats and sleds. We
have the honor to communicate these recom
mendations to you, with our concurrence in
them, and have further to express the
opinion that it may also lie deemed
wise to dispatch a smaller and less
completely equipped vessel as an advance
ship, which may he able to take greater risks
in the early spring navigation than would he
considered justifiable in the case of the two
steam sealers, noon which the ultimate suc
cess of the expedition may depend. We rec
ommend that Congress he requested to au
thorize the President to prepare and dispatch
an expedition to the coast of Greenland,
Smith's Sound or Lsdy Franklin Bay for the
purpose of relieving and bring home Lieut. A.
W. Greely and party, and that an anpropria
tion be made for manning, equipping and
supplying the necessary vessels.
In his message of transmittal the Presi
dent says:
In the plans for the relief of this partv,
as arranged with Lieut.Greelv.it was con
templated that an effort would he made to
communicate with him and furnish him anv
needed assistance in 1885, and again iu 1883.
Subsequently legislation was enacted which
required the expedition of 1883 to bring the
party home. It was part of tho arrangement
that if communication should not be made
with him on or before September 1, 1883, lie
should, with his party, abandon Ills station at
Lady Franklin Bay not later than the above
mentioned date and proceed southward, and
he would find a well supplied relief
station at the entrance to Smith’s
Sound, a point where it would
not be difficult to reach him during a part of
each year. The of ISfB ami 1883
were sent, but neither one of them was able
to communicate with Lieutenant Greelv,
and the last one failed to accomplish any part
of its object beyond leaving a very small
quantity of stores in tiie neighborhood of the
entrance of smith's cound. The situation of
Lieutenant Greely and party, under these
circumstances, is one of great peril, and iu
presenting t*ie prpliminarv views of the
Board appointed liy me to take into consider
ation a* expedition for their relief, 1 urgently
recommend prompt action by Congress to en
able the recommendations of the Secretary of
War and the Secretary of the Navy to ho car
ried out without delay.

the Mexican treaty. An agreement was
reached before adjournment that the de
bate should cease at 4 o’clock to-morrow,
and that the vote should be taken imme
diately thereafter. The principal speeches
to-day were those of Senator Gibson, of
Louisiana, opposing ratification on the
ground of injustice to the sugar interests
of his State, and of Senator Miller, of New
A’ork, favoring ratification. Senator Mil
ler traveled extensively in Alexico last
summer, and was able to describe as a
result ot personal observation the condi
tion of affairs in that country. He said
that Mexico could never be a
great manufacturing nation. The
people were not endowed with the
qualities which were necessary to
build up the system of manufactures, and
their country lacked both water power
and fuel. They were, on the other hand, or
would become, extensive producers of
raw materials, many kinds of which this
couutry did not produce in sufficient
quantities for its own consumption, and
some which it did not produce at ail. To
extend the American trade in manufac
tured articles, closer relations with such
countries as Alexico must be established.
“We could not,” he said, “sell our mauu
laetures to European countries, because
they could manufacture more cheaply
than we could. AYe needed the raw pro
ducts of Alexico. and Alexico needed our
manufactures. The present treaty was
only an entering wedge.
Senator Colquitt made a short speech
in favor of ratification. The result of the
vote to-morrow cannot be predicted. Esti
mates of the strength ot the opposition are
curreut to-night, but are untrustworthy.
There are enough Senators who have not
yet decided how they will vote to turn the
scale either in favor of the treaty or
against it.
THE HOG IMPORTATION.
Representatives Davis, of Illinois,
t lardy and Long, who compose the sub
committee of the House Committee on
Commerce, to which was referred for con
sideration the question of adopting meas
ures of retaliation against the countries
which prohibit the importation of Ameri
can hog products, have decided that the
joint resolution of Representative Town
shend was the most satisfactory of all.and
agreed to report it favorably to the full
committee. The resolution, as slightly
amended by the committee after consul
tation with Mr. Townshend, is as follows:
WnEHExs, The Governments of the German
Empire and the Republic of France have seen
fit to prohibit the importation of Amerieau
hog products .upon the assumption that they
were deleterious to the public health; and,
Whereas, The Government of the German
SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1884.
Empire has declined the invitation of the
President of the United States to send its own
experts to this country for tne purpose of ex
amining the quality and manner of market
ing our hog products.
Reeolred, That the President of the United
States be authorized during the session, or the
recess of Congress, to prohibit the importa
tion of any imports which, upon the advice
of competent experts, he shall be satisfied
are injurious to the public health, from those
countries which upon the same grounds pro
hibit the importation of anv American goods
or products.
The report will probably be submitted
to the full committee to-morrow, and on
Alonday an effort will be made to have it
considered in the House under a suspen
sion of the rules.
EDMUNDS’ VIEWS ON POSTAL TELE
GRAPHY,
Senator Edmunds was present at the
meeting ot the Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads this morning, and in con
versation gave his views upon several
points involved in the consideration of
the postal telegraph bill. He entertained
no doubt in regard to the constitutional
right of the government to build a tele
graph line. He was strongly opposed to
the purchase of existing lines. His views
on the remaining features of the subject
were substantially those embodied in his
bill. The committee has authorized its
Chairman to fix an early day when per
sons representing the telegraph interests
and others desiring to lie heard may be
admitted for the presentation of oral ar
guments. Briefs may he submitted if
desired.
MAURY TO SUCCEED CORKHILL.
President Arthur has gone back on Col.
G. 11. Corkhill, who is up for renomina
tion as United States Attorney for the
District of Columbia. He has about de
cided to appoint AVilliam A. Alaury, of
Virginia, to the place. Maury is a rela
tive of the President’s late wife and a pro
nounced Democrat. This riles the Re
publicans considerably. Mahone and Rid
dleberger last night called on the Presi
dent about it. They told him that Alaury
had always been opposed to the Readjuster
party in Virginia and should not succeed
Attorney Corkhill. The President replied
that lie believed from all that be had heard
that Maury was a good man and would
make a good District Attorney. Maury
is now one of the Assistant Attorney Gen
erals.
CHANDLER’S REPLY.
The reply of Secretary Chandler to a
Senate resolution calling for a statement,
showing the (late of the destruction, ori
ginal cost, and total expense for all re
pairs since their construction of vessels
borne on the navy register in November,
1883, has been sent to the Senate. The re
port shows tiiat there were 92 vessels on
the register. Of these 20 were built prior
to the late war, 31 during the war, and 41
since the close of hostilities. The original
east of the 92 vessels amounted to $40,-
790,612. The repairs on all vessels aggre
gate $41,200,822, making the total cost of
the vessels amount to $81,997,435. The re
pairs, as the figures show, have exceeded
the original cost by $404,209.
TARIFF LEGISLATION.
AI.. Alorrison, Chairman of the AVays
and Aleans Committee, iu conversation
with the News correspondent to-day.
confirmed the views already set forth by
the latter on the subject of the tariff" leg
islation of this session. He said that the
Ways and Means Committee would bring
in no tariff bill individualizing each arti
cle, as at the last session. There would
be a horizontal reduction measure, how
ever, with attention paid to special arti
cles, which, to put on the horizontal scale
would be unfair and unjust. The exact
percentage of the horizontal reduction to
be recommended he could not predict.
PENSIONS FAVORABLY REPORTED.

Tbe sub-committee of the House Com
mittee on Judiciary considered to-day the
bill introduced by Air. Culberson to define
the meaning ot “infamous crimes,” iu or
der that there may be a uniformity of de
cision as to what offenses can he prose
cuted hv information. The committee

Oddities of the Mails.
AVashington, Jan. 17.—A bottle of
“pain cure,” addressed to Queen Victoria
by a Georgia doctor, who confidently
asserts that it will cure Her Alajesty’s
injured knee, is detained at the Dead Let

is a communication addressed to “Alessrs.
Blaine, Davis & Alahone, Machine Aianu
iaeturing Company, Baltimore,” by a
Russian firm dealing in belting and rub
ber goods. This communication is sup
posed to have been called forth by an
article published in a Baltimore newspa
per, wherein Alessrs. Blaine, Davis and

were also detained iu tbe mails yesterday,

the Gilmer fund all dined with Gov. Alc-
Daniel after completing their business.
Gov. Gilmer left by will $15,000, the inter
estof which was to be devoted to educa
ting teachers for Georgia schools. Gen.
Robert Toombs and Judge AVilliam Reese
are now the only trustees living of the
original [board. Judge I’ttle recently
appointed Gov. McDaniel, Judge A. S.
Erwin, Col. AVm. P. Price and Hon. A. L.
Aliller to fill the vacancies. Owing to the
old age and feeble health of Gen. Toombs,
who holds the bonds in trust, these gen
tlemen, except Judge Erwin, met here to

ment of the fund. The interest has of late
been going to the Dahionega College,

teachers for Georgia public schools.
A NEGRO THRASHED.
Editor Gibson, of the colored news
paper, called the Defiance, recently re
flected upon the young colored people who
held a dancing party, and for this he was
thrashed a few days ago in the post office
vestibule by young Hill, one of the dan
cers. To-day, H. A. Rucker, of the
Revenue Department, a well-known
colored politician, met Gibson in Collec
tor Pledger’s custom house office, and
gave him another thrashing for the same
oftense. Public sentiment among the
white and colored people is that he de
served worse than he got for his insulting
editorial. Other thrashings are anticipa
ted.

propriation to make Atlanta something
more than a big overgrown town.
SENATOR PAYNE’S VIEWS.
Turning the Rascais Out the Only Rem
edy for the Collossal Abuses.
Columbus, 0., Jan. 17. —At the recep
tion to-night, Senator-elect Payne said
that he considered his election a high
compliment to the Democrats of Northern
Ohio and their loyalty to the party. He
said of the civil service law that it was
like tryiug to clean the Augean stables
with a tooth brush, and that the only
remedy for the service which has been
under the control ot the Republicans for
tbe past twenty years, all the offices from
the highest to the lowest having been
filled by representatives of that party, was
to elect a Democratic President.
This, he said, would be the
only complete and radical remedy.
He favored a tariff for revenue limited to
the necessities of the government econom
ically administered, and so adjusted as to
encourage productive industries at home
and afford just compensation to labor
without fostering monopoly. His thanks
to the members of the General Assemblv
for the high honor done him were hearty.

square in the centre, and contained 125
rooms. The veranda had a continuous
sweep of a quarter of a mile, and made
the finest promenade of the kind in the

the finest in all Florida. The inner court
of the great caravansary was para

fountains and semi-tropical plants.

sulphur water aided me other at
tractions in making the place the Mecca
of the Northern tourists and invalids who
annually seek the mid-winter sunshine of
the State. The building was situated on
a high knoll on the river bank, in the
midst of a grove of sturdy oaks. Taken
all in all the hotel was one of the finest in
the State, many even calling it the finest.

PRANCE AND CHINA.
A Member of the Chinese Embassy at
London Explains the Situation.
London, Jan. 17.— The Press Associa
tion publishes an interview with a lead
ing member of the Chinese embassy in
London. The latter said that China had
not yet declared war against France, al
though her memorandum to Prime Minis
ter Ferry, in which China declared that
an assault on Sontay, Hung Hoa, or
Bacninh would be casus belli,
would be carried out to the letter.
When Sontay wa , capture<l Marquis
Tseng withdrew from France to England
to await instructions from the Chinese
Government. These instructions had
since Marquis Tseng’s arrival at Folke
stone, been received, but their tenor could
not be divulged. The attack on Sontay
by the French was a viola
tion of the friendly relations between
the two countries, but Alarquis Tseng,
therefore, made no formal declaration of
war against France. France had attacked
both Sontay and Hue without declaring
war against China, and now threatened
to attack Bacninh, where there were
large bodies of Chinese troops
which would not be withdrawn,
but which would meet the French lorces
and protect Bacninh with ell their power.
Cheng Tsao Foil, the Chinese Minister to
Spain, had recently visited England, but
the report was not true that he came to
London to see the United States Alinister
Jo England to obtain through him the me
diation of the United States Government
between France and China. Cheng Tsao
lou might have met Air. Lowell, but it
was not for any such purpose as asking
for mediation. The United States Alinis
ter at Aladrid, Air. Foster, would le
the proper medium of any official
communication th§t Cheng Tsao Fou
should wish to make with the United
States Government. Marquis Tseng, the
attache continues, was visiting Loudon
on business of the Chinese legation, but
it was not unlikely that he would discuss
with Earl Granville, the British Foreign
Secretary, tbe present position of affairs
lietween the governments of China and
France.
The attache most positively declared
that the Chinese Government would never
entertain a proposal to evacuate Bacninh
as the basis of negotiations for the settle
ment of the Tonquin question. He de
clined to enter into anv conversation rela
tive to Marquis Tseng’s letter to Herr
Fleischer, the|editor of Die Deutsche
Jtevue, recently publish in the Breslau
Gazette, but he said that the letter would
be made the subject, of a full statement to
be published in the near future. Marquis
Tseng, he added, had no intention of re
turning to Paris at present.
AMERICAN MEDIATION DEEMED CERTAIN.
La Figaro says that the English Charge
d’Aflaires at Pekin has induced Bung Li
Yamen to declare that China will be satis
fied if the French forces will abstain from
invading the cities of Lang Sou and Caio
Binh.
. It * s said that the Chinese Commander
tn-Chief Li Hung Chang has declared that
the Chinese forces at Bacninh have been
ordered to withdraw twenty-five leagues
to the northward. The mediation of
America between China avd France upon
the Tonquin question, after the capture
of Bacninh by the French, is deemed cer
tain.
AN ANCIENT CITY DISCOVERED.
More Belies of an Extinct Race of Men
Found In an Arizona Canyon.
A AVashington dispatch, dated January
8, to the New York Sun says: “Mr. James
Stevenson, of the Geological Survey, has
reported to Alajor Powell, as one of the
results of his last season’s field operations,
the discovery of several more ruined cave
and cliff cities, differing in some respects
from any he had before examined. The
most remarkable was a village of sixty
five underground dwellings situated near
the summit of one of the volcanic foot
hills of the San Francisco mountains, in
the San Juan region of Arizona.
The surface stratum of the hill
had, by exposure, become hardened, and
formed the common roof for the entire
community. The dwellings were exca
vated after a common pattern, and a de
scription of one gives an idea of tiie whole.
They bad no inter-communication be
neath the surface, and were only accessi
ble by means of square holes leading from
the surface by a vertical shaft to the floor
of the main room of the dwelling. Holes
cut at convenient distances along the
sides of the shaft served the purposes of a
stairway. Descending the shaft, the ex
plorers found themselves at the side of an
oval-shaped, arch-roofed room, about
twenty feet in its smallest diameter. At
the ends and on the side opposite the en
trance low doorways connected the main
room with the smaller rooms, the whole
suite consisting of lour apartments.
A groove eighteen inches deep by fifteen
in width, extending from the floor of the
main room up one side of the shaft to the
surface of the hill, its bottom filled with
ashes and its sides blackened with smoke,
formed the fireplace and chimney of the
establishment. Around the mouth of the
shaft a stone wall inclosed a kind of door
yard. The wall seems to have served the
double purpose of guarding against snow
slides and preventing the accidental fall
of an inhabitant into his own or his neigh
bor’s dwelling.
Considerable debris was found in these
ancient dwellings, an examination of
which led to the discovery of manv curios,
illustrating some of the social and domes
tic customs of the extinct race. Stone
mauls and axes, the implements used in
excavating the dwellings, pottery bearing
a great variety of ornamentation, bone
awls and needles of delicate workman
ship, the family grinding stone for grain,
its well worn surface indicating long use,
shell and obsidian ornaments and imple
ments of wood, the uses ot which were un
discoverabie, were among the trophies of
the exploration.
Search was made for a water course or
spring, but no appearance of the exist
ence of water in the region in recent cen
turies was discovered. There were no
signs of intercommunication between
this village and a cliff city some 15 miles
distant, which is also'a new discoverv.
This city, or rather cluster of villages,
occupied the sides of a canyon, which has
recently been christened AValnut Canvon.
It is an immense fissure in the earth',
with nothing above the general level of
the country to indicate its existence to
the traveler until be stands upon its brink.
The sides have been gullied by storms
and torrents, leaving shallow, cave-like
places of great length at difterent
heights, along the bottom of which,
wherever the ledge furnished a suf
ficient area, dwellings in groups or
singly were built. The season was well
advanced when the place was reached,
aud only little time was spent in its ex
ploration. All the ancient methods of
approach had been long before worn awav,
and access to the nearest of the groups of
houses was a work of difficulty. The
group or village which was most narrowly
examined was about three-quarters of a
mile in length, and consisted of a single
row of bouses, the common rear wall
being the fining rock, while the sides aud
fronts were made of large squared stones,
laid in clay. A narrow street or pathway
extended along the entire front. Other
and similar villages could he seen along
the canyon for a distance of five miles.
Among the relics found here was a wooden
spindle whirl similar to those in use by
the Pmeblos of the present time, but un
like them in the apparent manner of its
manufacture.
Nothing indicating the use of metallic
tools ol any description was discovered.
The surface ot the wood of which the
whirl was formed had apparently been
charred and then ground down to tbe re
quired size and shape by rubbing it upon
sandstone. A shaft of reed similar to
bamboo, a species entirely unknown in
that region at this time, still remained in
the whirl. It had been broken by the
ancient workman, and neatly mended by
winding about it a piece oi" fine twine.
The ends of this twine, being examined
under the microscope, disclose the fact
that its fibre was of very fine human hair.
Articles of wood, corncobs and even
perfect grains of corn, walnuts, bones of
the elk, antelope and wolf, portions of
wearing apparel of a fabric resembling
the mnmmv cloth of Egypt, and other ar
ticles were found in abundance buried in
the piles of debris whioh partially filled
these deserted homes. There vvere no
weapons of war or works of defense, no
temples or idols, and no hieroglyphics or
pictures.
German Student Pomposity.
A party of American travelers were on
the railroad platform at Heidelberg. One
of the travelers happened to crowd a
Heidelberg student, when he drew him
self up, scowled pompously, and said:
“Sir, you are crowding; keep back,
sir!”
“Don’t you like it, sonny ?” asked the
American.
“Sir!” scowled the student, “allow me
to tell you, sir, that 1 am at your service
at any time and place.”
“Oh. you are at my service, are you ?”
said the American. “Then just "carry
this satchel to (he hotel for me!”

MORE MEDICAL EXPERTS GIVE
THEIR TESTIMONT.
Hypothetical Questions by the Defense
Elicit Answers in Support of the The
ory on Which They Base Their Case-
Cashier Breckenridge in Court Be
spite tho Threats,
Pittsburg, Jan. 17.-When the Nutt
trial opened this morning the court room
was crowds. Mrs. Nutt and the family
were not in their accustomed seats.
Among those present, however, were Mrs.
Breckenridge, accompanied by her hus
band, who is the Cashier of the People’s
National Bank, of Uniontown, and who
received letters threatening his life If he
appeared as a witness. The prisoner was
brought in looking fresh and smiling. It
is now thought that the trial will extend
well into next week, as there is only a
bare possibility that the defense will more
than get through by Saturday.
THE THREATENING LETTERS.
In an Interview during the recess of the
court Mr. Breckenridge said thai the let
ters received by him were scurrillous and
advised him to leave the countrv, called
him vile names and cast a reflection on
himself and the Nutt family. Incase of
Nutt’s acquittal he thought it would not
be safe for him to return to Uniontown.
and that he should ‘-go West" for a time.
There were those in Uniontown who bore
him no good will, but Mr. Breckenridge
doubted if any open demonstration of ani
mosity would lie made. A number of
other people from Uniontown expressed
themselves in the same manner.
MEDICAL EXPERTS.
A medical expert was then called. Dr.
A. M. Pollock, the first witness, said that
he felt competent to give testimonv as an
expert m eases ol mental difficulties. A
hypothetical case was put to the doctor
by the counsel for the detense, embracing
in a synopsis of what had been offered in
relation to his mental incapability. “As
suming all these points to be true.”
said the counsel, “what is your idea of
the mental condition of Nutt’s mind at
time of the firing of the pistol?"
I)r. Pollock replied, “A person with the
ancestry cited would be almost certaiu to
inherit insanity.”
NUTT INSANE.
“I should think that a person under tbe
condition cited would be insane. Some
persons have an insane temperament that
may suddenly break down their mental
control; yet persons who have such a her
itage pass through a whole life without
insanity becoming manifest. 1 have
known cases where there was a distinct
manifestation ol unsoundness of mind
which passed away without apparent per
manent results. After the impulse had
reached au irresistible pointQ’the con
dition of insanity would remain. After
the homicidal act resulting from unsound
ness of mind, the unsoundness would re
main. Where there w T as not unsoundness
the following circumstances would deter
mine whether or not the act was that of
a child of sound mind.”
ANOTHER EXPERT’S VIEWS.
Dr. Ewing, practicing phvsician for
eighteen years and an attendant at the
Dixmont Insane Asylum, answered a hy
pothetical question by Baying: “The
probabilities are strongly in favor of un
soundness of mind at the time the act was
committed. Predisposition to insanity
being present 1 would sav that an overt
act was the outgrowth of it. The mani
festations following the act would not
uecossarily be any different from those
preceding. It is hot uncommon for ex
citement to pass off as rapidly as it ap
pears. That is the accepted doctrine of
all authorities oa the subject.”
AN IN SANE IMPULSE.
Dr. paly, a physician of twenty years’
experience, said that he was not 'much of
a believer in inherited insanity, although
he believed that it did exist. “Assuming
the hypothetical question to be true, there
is,” he said, “a strong probability that
the killing was the result of au insane im
pulse.”
* AN IRRESISTIBLE IMPULSE.
Dr. Wylie, who has been connected
with the Lfixmont Asylum for six years,
said that his opinion of .lames Nutt’s con
dition when he f red the shot is that he
was laboring under an irresistible im
pulse caused by emotional disturbances.
OF UNSOUND MIND.
Dr. Riggs, who had handled many
cases of mental disease during his career,
considered Nutt of unsound mind at the
time he committed tbe shooting.
Dr. Smith Fuller,heard the hypothetical
question, and gave tho opinion that Nutt
was laboring under a delusion, or was a
monomaniac; that he felt compelled to
take the life of Dukes. “I think,” said
he, “that James had made up his mind to
take Dukes’ life. The murder ot his
father, and the traducing of his sister had
created this desire until it became a
dominant desire with him. He was crafty.
All maniacs are crafty. His condition
was due to a hereditary taint. The act
sprang from a maaia that was possessing
him at the time, and not from oppor
tunity. I have nc doubt he designed and
contemplated the killing of Dukes.” The
court then adjourned.
S2O TO GET IN THE COLT.T ROOM.
Pittsburg, Jan. 17.—The desire to
w itness the trial is so great that the Depu
ties who have charge of the tickets have
been offered as high as S2O for a single ad
mission. A thriving business has been
done since tbe beginning' of the
trial by some-of the holders ot season
tickets, who, after being admitted, would
collect the tickets from their friends, come
down and 6ell them on the street at $1
each and then conduct the purchasers in
side. They would then collect the tickets
and sell them over again.
Why He Couldn’t Fight.
York Times.
Two Brooklyn boys found a New Year’s
card-case at Columbia Heights and Pier
repont street yesterday noon. It was not
a valuable card-cate, but the boys at once
quarreled for its possession. The smaller
of the two—a slim little fellow, with red
hair and a turnel-up nose—displayed
such a phenomenal ability in the matter
of blood-curdling threats and general
braggadocio that the other boy, who had
ahead like a cannon-ball and a fist like
the knotty end of a club, felt compelled to
give up the quarrel in disgrace. A gen
tleman who was passing asked the larger
boy why he did not take forcible posses
sion of the card-case if he felt it was his
by right of discovery.
“Kin 1 lick ’imf” said the boy; “in
course I kin lick ’ini. I kin tear ’im into
bits an’ chew an’ swallow ’im.”
“Then why do you stand here?”
“You don’t know that boy mister. Why.
