Washington, January 2.—A Clove land dispatch reports that during the Knights of Pythias’festival atSUaucsville, Tusuarora county, Saturday evening, the floor gave way, precipitating over 20J to the floor below. Two were instantly killed and ten others fatally injured, and between seventy oud eighty more or less bruised or burned. The building took lira almost instantly. The lights were nearly all exiinguised, leaving'the strug gling mass of humanity to grope their way from the ruius almost iu the dark. The lire .was subdued but not until quits number had been more or less burned. Tbe night was very cold, and the scene is described as frightful iu th - extreme. Cincinnati, January 3. —Later dis patches from Shanes villa indicate that the disaster at the Knights of Pythias festival, Saturday night was worse than at first re ported. Some of the supports under the centre gave way and the floor settled. The joists were kept up at tho outer end by the inside walls. This threw the peo ple, tables and stoves ail together. The falling floors barricaded the front doors, but they were soon chopped down. The chandelier in the store room below was broken ami the oil spilled over a number of persons burst into a blaze, and in a few miuutes Milton Yoder, aged five years, was burned to death in his mother's arms, and she was fatally burned. Fortunately the building did not catch fire. The fol lowing is ns complete a list of the casual ties as it is possible to get: Died—Miss Mary Neff, aged twenty years; Milton Yo der, live years. Fatally burned—Mrs. Dr. Yoder, Mr. Alien Yoder, Miss Anne Onto. Seriously injured—Fred Schwab and Lewis Kerch. Legs broken—James Walter. Aim broken—Lizzie Shawalter. Collar hone broken—August A.

The gathering embraced the flower of the intelligence and wealth of the neighborhood. Sr. Louis, January 3.—Advices from Graham, Texas, report that the three McDonald boys, murderers of a man named Martin, at Belknap, made a des perate effort lo escape from jail yesterday, which resulted iu their deatlis aud that of a deputy sheriff, besides the serious wounding of several other people. About 10 o’clock in the morning tlic McDonald boys were icd from the steel cage to the calalioose, and with Jim Boon and Jack Baldwin, two other prisoners, were given their breakfast by two deputies. One deputy was testing the cage while it was empty,and the other <leputy,Dar!s Melton, stood iu the doorway of the wooden cell, opening from the calaboose to the steel cage. He had a pistol iu each hand, keeping watch' and presently he put both revolvers iu one hand to gel a a watch from his pocket. The McDonalds sprang upou him suddenly and disarmed him. Iu the struggle Melton was shot in the baud. His cries brought Miulfee, the other deputy, from tlic cage, but on enter ing the calaboose he was shot anil instant ly killed by the prisoners. The prisoners then made a hole through the floor and began their escape. A bloodhound watch es the jail, bat by a detour they avoided him, aud took their flight in auotlier di rection. By this time the city was ex cited and Hie citizens had gathered to gether and fo'lowed the prisoners. The. latter placed their hostage, Melton, behind, and threatened to shoot him dead If they were fired on. Thus the murderers proceeded some three hundred yards, when one of the citite.ns deliberately took aim and firing wounded one of the fugitives, who fell. Deputy Melton seized the opportunity, broke loess aud ran. A general fusillade now began between tbe citizens and the escap ing prisoners. The latter entrenched themselves in the weeds aud behind stumps. The battle raged for some time.

Tbe mouth of Tones bayou, Red river, died 1 next Legislature electa a Senator. Q. “Well, now, if you experts were to examine such a patient immediately upou hi s discharge, could you tell by any phys ical indications tii:u he had been insane only three months previously?” A. (Siesitatiiu’iy) “No, sir; not without a history of tile case.” 8coville—“I thought so.” Guiteau—“Your idea, Doctor, that a man can’t he insane unless his brain is diseased, is ratlicr IrivnJous. You ought lo study up spHtuiog',; then you would catch some new ideas.” The witness did not believe In wliat is termed by some writers emotional in sanity or moral insauity. Kleptomania lie considered simply thieving, dipsoma nia drunkenness, and pysomania incen diarism. These designations were simply convenient terras, which liad been invj’.iu’ ed to cover cortnin crimes. Insauity' the witness, is never transmitted anjl than cancer. I never knew any one' born with cancer. A susceptibility l sanity is undoubtedly transmitted fron: parents to children, but insauity docs not necessarily follow, except from some pro found physical disturbance. The exami nation progressed with tedious deta : I. In au effort to extract something favorable to the defense, the counsel renewed the at tack upon tlic witness again and again, aud each time was met with an eva sive or qualified reply. Mr. Scoville de wed to put in evidence certain tabu lated statements from tho annual reports of tho witness. From these it appeared that of 54 cases ot homicide by insane people, 7 of them were by persons acting under an insane delusion of divine author ity for their acts. At tlio request of the District-Attorney the witness described briefly these cases, and added that the each case was one of marked insauity, in- iependent of the homicidal act. After recess, Dr. Gray was asked a few- more questions by Scoville, when the District Attorney announced the conclu-. sicnofthe evidence on tho part of the government. Scoville walked over to the dock and conferred with tho prisouer few minutes. After returning to his seat he said: “Your honor, I am taken some what by surprise by the action of the prosecution in uot calling several persons whose names had been given as witnesses for the prosecution. These gentlemen being employes of tho government were in a position to know something of tbe mental condition of the prisoner about the time of the shooting of the President. I do not kuow what action in the matter the defense will wish to take, but I will inform the court to-morrow morning.” £bDr. Bowker, of Kansas City, was then Called by Mr. Scoville. The witness met Mrs. Dumnore at Leadvilie aud conversed with her. She said slie liad entertained grave doubts as to the mental condition of Guiteau at the time she obtained her di vorce, and thought at the time that per haps she liad better defer the divorce pro ceedings and await some further develop inentstu the mental condition of her hus band. Hie prisoner attempted to read a letter, a* lie ciaimed, from au old friend of President Garfield in Ohio, showing that public opinion was working in ills favor. Judge Cox ordered him to be silent. Marshal Henry (rising and moving t<>- wards the dock)—“Keep quiet, sir.” Guiteau—“I’ve cot through, sir.” Tiie marshal whispered some instruc tions to the bailiff sitting in the dock, moment later the prisoner started upon another harangue, and the bailiif putt Iris hand upou his shoulder and attempted to quiet him. Guiteau shouted out: “Get away from me, or i’ll slap you In the mouth!” Willi this outburst he subsided, however, ami turned his attention to wri ting autographs. Scuvilic again Drought up the question of introducing new witnesses,and au agree incut was finally made that the defense shall submit iu writing to-morrow rnorn- iug their motion, giving the names of tbe w itnesses, the facts to be testified to, and supported by an affidavit giving the rea son why such witnesses were not intro duced beloro. Washington, January 4.—At the Gui teau trial this morning, before proceed ings commenced, Guiteau said: “This is a good time to make a speech, but I prom ised the marshal I would keep quiet to day, and I will try to do so.” Scoville reau an affidavit setting forth that the af fiant is sole counsel fur the prisoner; that the prisoner lias beeu in such a state of mind that lie has been unable to render auy assistance or suggest the name of ruy witnesses, aud that 'the affiant has since closing the cas-*, learned the names of cer tain witnesses who can testify to material tacts for the defense. After giving the names of the witnesses and briefly stating what In expected to prove by each, Sco ville moved that he be allowed to intro duce this evidence. Judge Cox inquired if counsel desired to be heard upou the matter. Corkhill said: “I hardly thiuk anything need be said.” Col. Reid addressed the court iu favor of the motion. He was aware that the motion was entirely within the discretion qf the court. It was not, however, with out precedent, and that, too, in a United States Court. He then cited cases in sup- ut ot his argument, and said in this untty it was the boast of onr free institu tions that a poor man could have tbe same rights in a court of justice as the owner of a palatial mansion, and he felt assured that the Americau people would not be- trudge the extra day that was now asked n behalf of this prisoner in the name of justice aud a fair trial. Mr. Davldge replied at some length, and denied that any precedent existed for reopening this case simply to introduce cumulative evidence, part’culariy in the case of Dr. McFarland. He believed it would be scandalous to admit the test! mony of a man so reckless as to form an opinion and he willing to swear to it merely from reading newspapers. After considerable discussion by coun sel, which was interrupted b7 Guiteau, Judge Cox said that counsel for the de fense came kcre a stranger to the courts of the district and even to the prisoner himself, and found himself environed itb difficulties from the outset. The most serious difficulty was that the odium attaching to tho assassination made wit nesses unwilling to even allow the'r names to he known to the defense. Ap- ireclstiug all the difficulties which em- jar.-assed tho defense, he (Judge Cox) had felt disposed to afford them unusual lafitudo aud more than ordinary facil ities m the preparation ot their case. Evidence of insauity could not be offered ic sur-rebuttal. In his opinion proof of insanity should be limited to the evidence in chief and tbe rebuttal evi dence of tbe prosecution. He -therefore must exclude tho evidence of Dr. McFar land. Tbe testimony of ibo3e witnesses by which the defense expected to prove motive for his act the conrt held should be admiited as evidence in sur-rebuttal. J. J. Brooks, chief of the treasury se cret service, was called. The witness visited tbe prisoner at the jail tho night’ after the shooting. Guiteau was in bed at tLe time. “He arose in great anger and excitement,” said the wit ness, “and wanted to kuow what I meant by disturbing his rest aud quiet at that hour of the night. I said it ill becimo a murderer to speak in that manner; that he had disturbed the rest and quiet of a whole ration, lie came hack at me that he was no murderer,but a Christian aud a gentle man, and that his mind was made up; that he had been moved to do the act as a political necessity, ami that it was for the good of the countiy.” The witness con tinued: “J told him I was a Republican and a stalwart, and ho replied: ‘Then you can appreciate why I did it.’ ” The witness detailed at some length his conversation at that time. He (tho wit ness) said to tho prisoner; “If you had taken the Deity iuto consideration you would uot have done such au act.” The prisoner replied that k/B liad thought over the matter and j^Tyed over it for six weeks, and the more he thought and the more he prayed the more he became convinced that tiie President must go, aud that it was his duty to remove him. Notwithstanding his promise iu the morning, Guiteau continued to interrupt, and became involved in an altercatffiu with one of the bailiffs, who tried to si lence him. “I'll slap you iu the mouth,” lie frequently snarled at him, but made no demonstration of carrying his threat iuto execution. At another time he said to him: “You are nothing but a miserable underling, wbi'o 1 speak to 50,000 000 people when I talk.” When Judge Cox liad finished his remarks upon Scoville’s motion, Guiteau insisted upou expressing his opiu.ou: “That’s first-class decision, Judge. That’s all I want to gel before the jury—what I said at that time relative to the causes that impelled me upon the President. As for the rest, I dou’t care a snap. I would uot g>ve fifty ceuta a bushel for this exoert testimony. It I had money enough I could get fifty of the best expens in the country to swear that I ain as crazy as a loon. That’s just how much that kmd of evidence is woitb.” Scoville introduced a letter written by the prisoner’s father, iu which he spoke "'the prisoner and expressed au opiuion at he was insane. Guiteau called out leeringly: “Was the object of reading hat letter to show that my father was a crank or that I am? You aro ihe biggest jackass, Scoville, 1 ever saw. If you can’t learn auy souse, I shall have to rebuke you in public.” The prosecution then submitted a state ment of the law points on which they would rely as follows: First, tiie legal test of responsibility, where insanity is set up as a defense for the alleged crime, is whether the accused at the time of com mitting the act knew tho ditlerence be tween right and wrong iu respect to such act. Hence, in the present case, it the accused at the time of committing the act charged knew the dtijmjence between right aud wrong iu resfWt of such act (that is, if he knew wliat he was dolug, aud that what he was doing was contrary to the law'of tho land), ho is responsible. Guiteau—“I did not, because my free agency was destroyed.” Second, if the accused knew what he was doing, aiul that what lie was doin was contrary to the law of tbe laud, it constitutes no defense, even if it were true that when lie committed the act he really believed that he was thereby pro ducing a public benefit or carrying out an inspiration of Divine origin or approval. Sueli belie! would not afloid any excuse, nor would sueli excuse he afforded by the fact that in tiie commission of tiie act he was impelled by a depraved moral sense, whether innate or acquired, or by evil passion, or by indifference to moral cbli gations. Guiteau—“All of which is false.” Third, insanity would, however, con stitute a defense it by reason of disease the accused at the time of committing the act charged did not kuow what he was doing, or ifhe did not know that what he was doing was contrary to law. Guiteau—“I had no choice iu the mat ter.” Fourth, the only evidence in the pres ent case tending to show irresistible iin pulse to commit homicide is the claim of tho accused that Ids free agency was de< stroyed by his alleged conviction that the death of the . President was required for the good of tho American people and was divinely Inspired; that such convic tion, even if it really existed, could not afford any excuse when the party know whit he was doing and that it was con trary to law. No mere delusion cr error of judgment—not even a fixed belief that was prohibited by law—is commanded This ended tho interview and the re porter left tho affable doctor to resume his interrupted game of whist. . Tiie “old man” gets his work in. Ar thur drives a pair of eleven hundred pound uay horses, and his servants wear the Grant livery, bourbon tinted panta loons and cigar colored coats. Won’t some hungry stalwart send a hull pup for the stable ? Arthur’s respect for Garfield’s memo ry is curious, to say tho least of it. He tears down the flag decorations In the White House, but hoists Garfield’s friends out of tho cabiuct and departments. The formulated coalition lias three more votes. Bigby, Wilson and Pot Ash Farrow havo contributed. Now doth the youug roan gazi upou the six crouths’pledge, aud wish that he had his signature back. " 1 P The logic of events points unmistaka bly to Baltimore as the place where tiie next great iadustrial exposition shall he held.

To have sueli etiect the commission of the act charged must have been the re sult of an iusaue delusion, which was the product of disease, aud of such force as to deprive the ac cused of the degree of reasou necessary to distinguish between right and wrong iu respect ot the act,so that at tiie time of com mitting tiie act he either did not know what he was doing, or if he did, that the act was wrong or coutrary to the law of the laud. At Scoviile’s suggestion the court was then adjourned until Saturday morning, to givo time for the defense to prepare their points of law. Dr, Miller on tho Formulated Coali tion - The Atlanta Cot&litulion furnishes the accompanying account of an interview with Dr.H. V. M. Miller: “Doctor, wliat about this conference ?” “Well, only this: I happened, acci dentally, iuto the Markham House on Thursday last. The last name registered was that of Dr. Felton. I asked for his room aud was shown to It. While there in conversation upon many general am public topics, several gentlemen, somo of those whose names are mentioned, id in. I was making a social call, and had uo idea whatever of a confer ence. I left even before my dinner hour, because I had patients to see, and if any tolitical conference was held it was after i left the room. I certainly had nolhiug to do with such a conference.” “Did you meet there auy of the gentle men named ?” “Some of them were probably there, and there are some named whom I do not know.” “So far as an organization is concerned, you know nothing about it?” “Nothing at all! So far as Dr. Felton is concerned, I will say that if he is a candi date far governor I will support him.” “Do you think he will be such a candi date ?” “From his published declaration of ; irinciples I do not sue bow he cau shrink ; rom it. That, p^r force, makes him the candidate of the people. He has stated his platform, it is the platfonn of the peo ple, and I do not see how he cau refuse. They will make him their candidate. In deed, he may be considered, from this day forward, as the candidate of the in dependents of the State.” “Democratic, or Repub! ican?” “Dr. Felton is a Democrat and he has formulated carefully tbe platform ou which he stands. It is a declaration ac ceptable to all independent Democrats, aud which can and will receive the sup port of tho best Republicans. Having announced that platfurm it makes him the candidate of the independents, Dem ocratic and Republican alike, and of his success on that line I have uo doubt. If tiie organized can refute his declarations let them do so. There is uot a paragraph of bis platform that I cannot defend. Tiie organized cannot assail them, and the people oi Geoigia will indorse then “But, doctor, you had nothing to do will: this so-called conference?” ‘No. I will not say that a conference was not held. I know nothing about it* may have been held after my departure, do uot think a conference was necessary. The Republicans present could not hind tbe party and the Independents could only act as individuals. Therefore, I say, the idea of organization is absurd. Wbat “ think is my own affair.
