BLAIR’S PENSION RECORD.
A Widow’s Karin Attached to En
force the Payment of a Pee.
Washington, July 25.—1n the Senate
to-day Senator Blair made a long per
sonal explanation in regard to the news
paper charges that some Senator had
charged a widow $2OO for getting a pen- ;
sion claim through tho department.
Mr. Biair said he had no reason to sup- I
pose these newspaper reports referred to j
him any more than to any other Seuator j
until he had been told by Senator Cam- !
den that they did refer to him (Mr.
Blair), and were to the effect that
while a member of the House he
had made such a charge for
obtaining a pension for a widow. Mr.
Blair explained tbe transaction by saying
that, he had betore coming to Congress
obtained the award of tbe pension in
question, and that the transaction was
concluded by bis law partner and the
money collected by the partner alter Mr.
Blair came to Congress. That a charge
of $lOO (not $200) had been made, but that
the woman relused to pay and has never
paid anything. Mr. Blair moved that the
matter aud all the papers presented by
Mr. Blair be referred to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections.
WHAT MARKS IT INTERESTING.
Mr. Kennu remarked that as tar as he
knew no one had supposed or intimated
that there was any criminality in the
Senator’s action. To be equally frank,
however, he would state that it struck
him and those who bad taken any interest
in the matter that tbe case presented a
question of much interest in view of the
wholesale aud indiscriminate attacks of
the Senator from New Hampshire upon
the President in connection with his pen
sion vetoes. It. was perhaps somewhat
remarkable that a widow who had lost her
only son in the army and whose husband
was" demented should have an attachment
laid upon her little farm for such services
rendered to her. That was regarded as a
matter of some interest. Mr. Blair’s
motion to reler was agreed to.
PAYNE’S EXON ERA HON.
The Senate Refuses to Further In
vestigate the Bribery Charges.
Washington, July *23.— The Senate at
12:30 o’clock to-day took up the Pay no
case, and was addressed by Mr. Call in
opposition to further investigation.
Mr. Hawley argued in favor of an in
vestigation.
Mr. Evarts closed the debate in a long
argument against further investigation.
The Senate at 4 o’clock proceeded to taxe
votes. The tirst vote was on the resolu
tion of Messrs. Hoar and Frye (for fur
ther investigation), and it was rejected
by 17 yeas to 44 nays. The following is
the vote:
Yeas—Messrs. Blair. Conger, Dawes, Ed
munds, Kryi\ Hale,Harrison, Hawley. Hoar.
McMillan, Mahone, Maude son. Mitchell of
Oregon, Palmer, Platt, auerauui and Wilson
of lowa.
Nays— Messrs Beck, Betry, Blackburn,
Butler, Call, Camden, Cameron, Chace,Cock
rell, Coke, Colquitt, Cullom, Eustis,
Evarts, Gibson, Gorman, Gray, Hamilton,
Harris, Hearst, ingalla, Jones of Arkansas,
Jones of Nevada, lienna, Bogan, Maxey, Mil
ler, Plumb, Pugh, ltau-oin, Itiddleberger,
Saulsbury. Sawyer, Sewell, Stanford, Teller,
Vane-. Van Wyek. Vest, Voorhees, Walthall,
Whitihorne and Wilson of Maryland.
The resolutions of the majority (that
there should be uo iurtber investigation)
were adopted by 44 yeas to 17 nays—the
detailed vote being identical with the po
sitions reversed with that on the minority
resolution. There was a slight applause
when the result was announced.
PETITIONS of the kniukts.
Similarity in the Signatures Gives
Rise to More Comment.
Washington, July 23.—Mr. Vest, in
presenting to the Senate to-day a batch of
petitions got up by the Knicts of Labor,
remarked that the signatures all appeared
to be in the same handwriting, and that
lie presumed (from the explanation of
Mr. VanWyck a few days ago) that these
were copit s.
Mr. Hoar remarked that the rules of
the Senate prevented the presentation of
any petitions except originals.
The chair sustained the point made by
Mr. lloar, but said be did not feel at lib.
eriy to reproach the Senate for present! ng
such petitions, although in doing so they
were violating the rules.
31 r. Vest said he did not propose to vio
late any rule of tbe Senate, but he did not
wish to be putin the attitudeof opposing
the right oi petition. He now presented
these petitions with a statement that in
his opinion (without any personal knowl
edge) they were copies. The petitions
were presented.
SUNDRY CIVIL CASH.
Tho Provision for the Capitol Ter
races Licit in the Bill by tho Senate.
Washington, July 23.—The Senate to
day resumed consideration ol the sundry
civil bill, beginning on page 7G, and bud
only got through three pages when at 0
o’clock they took a recess to 8 o’ clock.
The Senate reassembled at S o’clock
and resumed consideration ol tho sundry
civil appropriation bill, which it discussed
until 11:45 o’clock, when it adjourned.
The most important action was the ruling
out on a point of order of the amend
ment of the committee striking out the
provision of $150,000 lor capitol terraces,
and providing that all work upon the
capitol terraces shall be suspended till a
further nlan shall be submitted to Con
gress providing for committee rooms upon
the west Iront of the terraces. This pro
vision remains In the lull and the amount
was increased to $175,000.
SENATORS AND THE SURPLUS.
The Finance Committee Obliged to
Act on the Morrison Resolution.
Washington, July 23.—1 t is now un
derstood that the caucus of Republican
Senators hold at Senator Sherman’s house
last evening resulted lu the appointment
ol a committee, consisting of Messrs. Sher
man, Allison and Aldrich, to devise a line
of action with respect to the Morrison
surplus resolution. It is said tout the
expressions ol views wore widely diver
gent, but it was thought to he a political
necessity that the Senate Committee on
Finance should not ignore tho resolution.
Tne committee, it is believed, will seek to
amend it, leaving to tbo Secretary of the
Treasury the same measure of discretion
he now has over the matter, and increas
ing the minimum of reserve lobe left in
the Treasury. Tho members of the com
mittee and all who attended the caucus
are pledged to secrecy.

mony in Corroboration of that of the
Inform, r—Prof. Osleu Furnishes
Translations of Herr Most’s Book and
Some of tho Arhelter Zeitung's Mat
ter-Women Give the Prisoners Flow
ers.
Chicago, July 23.—-Every seat In Judge
Gary’s court room was occupied this
morniug when Franz Hein, the tirst wit
ness in the anarchists’ trial, was called to
the stand. The witness said that he was
a saloon keeper aud that Neebe was in his
place of business, No. 354 South Clark
street, May 3, and showed him a poster,
which the witness identified. It was iu
the evening when Neebeoalled. Several
men were in tne saloon. Neebe left copies
of tile circular on the table. He simke
about the McCormick riot, Neebe ad
dressed those in the saloon in a general
way, and said that six or seven meu had
been killed at McCormick’s. Blood had
flowed, Neebe said, aud be added: “There
will coiue a time perhaps when everything
will go the other way.”
The “revenge” circular was offered in
evidence by the State and the witness
wa turned over to the counsel lor the
detense, who refused to cross examine
him.
MOST’S BOOK TRANSLATED.
Prof. Olsen, occupying the Gteek chair
at Chicago University, anil also a German
scholar, has made a translation of Herr
Most’s hook, “ l’ke Science ot Revolution
ary Warfare.” He sain the trausiatiou
which Mr. Urinuell offered in evidence
was exact and faithful in every detail.
Another translation from an article ap
pearing in the Arbeiter Zeitung under
date ol Feb. 25, 1880, and captioned. “The
International Association of VVorkrueu,”
and giving tbe platform of tbe organiza
tion, was also offered by the State. The
counsel for the defense precipitated dis
cussion as to whether or uot the testimony
about to be introduced was reluvaut. The
court held it was, as going to prove that
the delendauts were engaged in dissemi
nating tieasonable literature.
FLOWERS FOR THE DEFENDANTS,
At this juncture a young lady wearing
a fashionable hat, a showy gilt chain
about her neck and a dress ot light brown
stuff, rose trom a chair in the back part
of tho room and presentod to each ol the
eight defendants a bouquet. Fifteen
minutes prior the defendants were given
flowers by some ladies who came into
court with Mrs. Black.
Gustav Lehman, one of the conspira
tors, was called.

said this then. Then 1 asked him wny ho
said it, and oe said: ‘II you want to hear
something come to-morrow nigbttoZeph’s
Hall.’”
A VISIT TO LINGO’S.
“Well, did you do so?”
“The next afternoon I went to Lingg’s.
I met a friend of mine who prevailed on

The witness said that after supper on

ing, but afterward went to No. 54 Lake
street, and then accompanied by a friend
named Senmideku be went to Ztqdi’- Hall,
on Claiborne avenue. On Claiborne
j avenue lie met Lingg and S-dlger. Some

HIDING THE BOMBS.
The witness explai :ed tbat at 3 o’clock

SAVANNAH, SATURDAY. JULY 24, 188(1.
Ogden’s grove, and went there on May 17 |
or 20 with a police officer and obtained;
the bombs and dynamite. The witness j
said be bad belonged to the North Side
Socialistic group, which met at No. 58 i

KNGEL AS AN INSTRUCTOR.
In February last the witness said Engel
made a speech at No. 58 Claiborne ave
nue, when he explained how easily and
cheaply dynamite could be mado, and
how gas pipes could be tilled. Engel ex
plained bow to till pieces ot gas pipe and
to arrange the fuse, and said tbo osier
portion of the pipe should be bound with
nails and wire so that when exploded it
would cause greater havoc. Attne meet
ing when Engel mado this speech the wit
ness was chairman.
Thecross examination oi Lehman pro
duced nothing additional, and did uot
change his origiual statements.
A reporter uamed Dresser described
speeches made by Spies, Parsons and
Fielden, aud their threats t |'dow up the
Board of Trade, and declaring that such
men as 31arshall Field, John W. Duane
and George 31. Pullman ought to be killed.

A SOLID WALL OF TESTIMONY.
The afternoon work on the part of the
prosecution resembled nothing so much
as the building of a great, wall in which,
like solid courses of masonry, was labo
riously and unalterably deposit and layer
after layer of most damaging evidence.
The attempts at cross examination were
for the time despairingly abandoned by
tbe defense, and when tue practice of se
verely interrogating the State’s witnesses
again commenced there was noticeably a
change in the line ot attack. An en
tirely new theory of motives actuating
Spies and his conferees was quickly
shown to have been adopted. This was
that tne deteudants, far from being the
dangerous characters depicted by the
long string of reporters and officers suc
ceeding each other on the stand, had
been purposely humbugging these wit
nesses at every available opportunity,but
for the most laudable purpose, l'bey
were simply trying to get up a scare
among the capitalists sous to benefit the
laboring man.
THE FIRST WITNESS.
Earnest Neidortf, the first witness, was
one of those not cross examined by tbe at
torneys for the anarchists. He gave im
portant testimony corroborating informer
seliger’s uarrati veof the meeiiugsofthe So
cialists, including the armed section, just
previous to the throwing of tbe bomb in
tbe Haymarket. Neidorlfwas chairman
oi the meeting in Zeph’s Hall the night
before tbat, event, aud at which Seliger
was secretary. The witness was not
questioned as to the details of the pro
ceedings which had been related in full
by Seliger, but in a general way by inci
dental mentiou of minor particulars
added much weight to the testimony of
the men upon which the prosecution seem
to chiefly rely.
Officers Trepan and Sullivan followed
Neulerhoff on the witness stand. They
testified that on the evening of the formal
opening of the new Board of Trade build
ing they attended in citizen’s clothes a
meeting on 31 arket square, where Parsons
in a fiery speeoh advised his hearers to
use rifle and bomb on the members of the
board.
THE PROCESSION.
The procession was formed by tbe crowd
witn tho purpose of forcing Its wav into
tlie Board of Trade. Mrs. Parsons was at
tne bead carrying a red flag. Spies,
Fielden and Parsons were In line. A car
riage containing a lady was attacked and
the occupant severely injured by a brick
thrown lrom tho crowd. Both officers
told how, alter tbe procession was turned
back by the police, Spies, Parsons and
Fielden exhibited to them and a reporter
named Williamson shells, luse and dyna
mite at the Arbeiter Zeitung office. With
these weapons the three defendants said
they would soon meet the bloodhounds, as
they called the police.
Detective Louis Haas was at this point
put ou the staml for a few moments. He
described how Neebe, one of tbe prisoners,
assumed charge of tbe Arbeiter Zeitung
office immediately after tbe arrest of
■Spies. Neebe was acting as the head of
the establishment wuen tbe packages ot
dynamite were discovered there.
NEFF ON THE STAND.
A stir among tbe lawyers on both sides
and a subdued exchange of remarks
among the prisoners greeted the appear
ance of a dwarfish individual with pierc
ing dark eyes, who way led in by a bailiff
just as Haas was leaviug tho witness
ctjair. Tho new comer rather avoided
looking in the direction of ihe defendants.
He gave his name as Maurice Neff, pro
prietor of the saloon and ball at No. 03
1 Claiborne avenue, it was there that in
-1 formers Seliger and Lingg had,on the eve
ning oi the riot, carried half a hundred
shells filled with dynamite and left them
for distribution to tnose who were to use
tfiem that night. Neff added materially
to tue definiteness of Seliger’s evidence.
PRINTERS OF THE CIRCULAR.
William Burgess and George Sonnier
testified tbat they had printed the “re
venge” circular upon orders from the
Arbeiter Zeitung office.
Fred P. R'isback, machinist, gave evi
dence tbat Rudolph Schuaubell, tne man
generally believed to bo 1 he bomb-thrower,
who was in his employ, did not do any
work in thesnop Ma, 4. Schnaubelt said
be bad other work to do.

DILKE’S BEEP DISGRACE.

OF GUILTY.
Mr. Crawford Granted a Divorce from
the Woman He Called Wife—The
Cloning Scenes In the Great. Trial —Sir
l>ilke Retires from Public 1.11© —Com-
monte of the Trees.
London, July 23.—The case ot Craw
ford agatnst Crawford and Dilke was
Klveu to the jury this atternoon. They
returned a verdict finding Mrs. Crawford
guilty of udultery with Sir Charles Dilke
and granting Mr. Crawford a divorce.
ONLY OUT TWENTY MINUTES.
The jury were absent twenty minutes
only. The decision is that Mr. Crawtord
is entitled to a divorce from his wile on
the ground of adultery with Mr. Dilke,
as decided nisi by Justice Sir Charles
Butt on Fob. 12 last, tue present case be
ing simply a rehearing at the intervention
of the Queen's proctor for the purpose of
ascertaining whether the decree nisi
should not be set aside nu the ground ot
collusion between Mr. and Mrs. Crawtord,
on now evidence invalidating the wile’s
confession. The jury finding in favor of
M r. Crawford, the proceeding confirms the
previous decree and makes it ahsoiuto at
the expiration of six months attaching to
it. This six months will expire Aug. 12,
the decree nisi having been issued Feb. 12.
TDK COSTS ON THE PROCTOR.
The Queen’s proctor has been con
demned to pay the costs of the present
proceeding. In his closiug argument Sir
Waiter Phillimoro, for the Queen’s proc
tor, urged the jury to believe that Mrs.
Crawlord’s whole conlessiou was con
cocted for the purpose of shielding Capt.
Foster. Justice Mannen’s summing up
ia pronounced by lawyers a model of
clearness, compactness ami impartiality.
Hut trom beginning to end it was de
cidedly agalust Sir Dilke. It was deliv
ered in solemn and impressive tones ami
bold the audience speil-bound. In refer
ence to the long iuterval which elapsed
between tue lirstand second acts of adul
tery between Mrs. Crawford and the co
respondent, the Justice thought the lady’s
explanation sulHclent when she said Sir
Charles was not well during the period.
SIR DILKK’S SILENCE.
He laid stress upon Sir Dllke’s absten
tion from testifying in the former trial.
This slienoe had the effect of suggesting
that Sir Charles was guilty of the charges
he refrained from denying. “Would you,
gentlemen of the jury, remain silent even
under the advice ol counsel when a tissue
of falsehoods was told against you seri
ously affecting your moral character?”
The Judge alluded to the absence from
the testimony ol confirmation of essential
portions of Sir Dilke’s story as “cer
tainly remarkable,” while Mrs. Crawtord
was able to rtesoribe accurately the
bedroom in Sir Charles’ house in
which she said he spoiled her, although
he swore that he had never taken her into
the bouse. Besides this the evidence
given by those who had testified to the
co-respondent’s visits to the house in
Warren street remained unshaken. If
the jury believed these witnesses, the
Justice said, then the whole value of Sir
Charles Dilke’s testimony was destroyed.
Tne formal verdict of the jury contains
no mention of Sir Dilke’s name. It sim
ply declares that no material facts were
suppressed at the previous trial at which
“the decree ot divorce was obtained just
ly.”
THE CLOSING SCENES.
There were no scenes attending the
declaration of the result of the trial,
although the people outside the court
room received toe announcement with
some cheering. Mr. Crawford eat through
the Judge’s charge with bis elbows rest-
Ingon the table aud his face buried in his
hands. Sir Dilke sat all the time with his
eyes fixed on the Judge’s lace, occa
sionally nodding agreement to a judicial
remark. After the verdict was
rendered Sir Charles looked the pic
ture of misery. Ho vanished Im
mediately after the verdict was
rendered’. Capt. Foster sat near Sir
Dilke eyeing him closely and evidently
gloating over his rival’s abjection. It was
observed that Mr. Foster appeared is be
watching for the door Sir Charles would
select tor exit and it was thought the
Captain might mean to follow the Baronet
and assault him. Donald Crawtord, the
plaintiff, when he left the building was
cheered by the people In the street.
Sir Charles Dilke has ordered a sale ot
his house at Chelsea. He will leave Eng
land and reside permanently In the soutu
of France.
OUT OF PUBLIC LIFE.
Sir Charles Dilke Issued the following
address to the Chelsea electors:
“Gentlemen —You are a ware that the
intervention of the Queen’s proctor in the
case of Crawford vs. Crawford, on the
idea that said divorce was pronounced
contrary to the justice of tho case, has
led to the verdict in which the finding ol
Justice Butt bus been affirmed. This de
cision lias been come to without my being
allowed to appear by counsel or to
address the jury; without my being
allowed to cross examine for rnyseii;
also without iny being supplied witu
particulars of or being given in advance
the mimes of the witnesses, all of whfeh
under the order of the court have be-n
freely supplied to the other side. The
Queen’s proctor, who accepted some of
my suggestions for tho cross examina
tion, and Sir Walter I'hillimore, who
maintained my position wiih con
spicuous ability—appearing, however,
not as iny advocate, but as a repre
sentative of a public official—were also
placed under great disadvantage by hav
ing practically to disclose the defense be
fore the evidence in support of the charge
was given. 1 have always known how
difficult my cause would tic even if it
were presented,as i had reason to suppose
it would be, by my own advices, and I
have never concealed it Irani you. But
the method of procedure ordered by the
courts intensified the difficulty. As mr ns
my public life goes I have no option but t >
accept the verdict. While protesting ottco
more against its Injustice, l can only
assure you, as I have already olieu
solemnly assured you, and with equal
solemnity sworu in court, that 1 am inno
cent ol tho charges brought against me
and respectfully and gratefully bid you
farewell. lam yours faithliiily.
“Charles Dilke.”

lord divorce case, spy©: “We would he
only too glad if we could dissent trom the
jury’s verdict, but unfortunately there is
uo room lor skepticism nnv longer to as
sert itself, and the lamentable career of
this able statesman is thus prematurely
closed. Wo are compelled to sorrowfully
suiuit that no more shocking outrage
upon tho obligations of friendship, tbe
precepts of morality, the primary instincts
of decency, or tne sanctity of family ties,
was ever dragged before a disgusted com
munity.”
Tho Chronicle save:
"The veil bas tie< n lifted and a career of
the blackest villainy and most Inordinate
lust Is revealed. Sir Charles took advan

to practice a most diabolical deceit while
being, it. appears, steeped in tho foulest
iniquity.”
The Post, referring to the case, says:
"It Is a story ot unutterable shame, and
the sooner it is buried iu oblivion the
better.”
