" Tlio men were wanted as witnesses tu the case ot the state against Welter William!, who is to be tried lor murder in Bainhridge on Monday. The sheriff will carry two of the prisoners back with him, Robert Durham and John Jones, but he will carry intend of John Williams a cer tificate of his death. He was one of tbe participants ir the “bomb shell” meeting at Dade mines the other day and died from the effects of a wound in tbe neck. John was to have been a very im portant witness in the case againtt his brother, Walter Williams, the details of which go to make up a remarkable story. , In 1881, Martha Crockett, woman, was killed. John Williams, Walter Williams, his brother, John Jones and Robert Durham tvere arrested as ihc gui-ty parties.

Mr. Walke r presented his official and legal inter pretation before the directors, which is to the effect that the law passed by congress stipulating that the exposi tion should be closed on Sunday ap plies only to buildings containing exhibits. The exhibits, it seems, will not be open to visitors, but the grounds, buildings, and many other attractions will be. General E.

A special from Washing on to the Constitution says: The announcement has been ii at the state department that Mr. Blount will act as minister to Hawaii.
