VOL. X. CUNNINGHAM’S TRIAL THE DYNAMITER GUARDED BY POLICE AND HISSED BY THE PEOPLE. IVhat the Prosecation Hopes to Prove — Another Hattie Brewing on the Nile — The Times on Chamberlain— Sorrow for Lord O*Hagan. London, Feb. A—Jas Gilbert Cunning ham, alias Dalton, alias Gilbert, the dynamite ■uspect, was rearraigned in tl»e Bow street police court which was thronged with specta tors, none of whom were admitted without a pass. Among thoee present were many of the nobility and members of the house of common*. The prisoner looked a trifle pale, and seemed nervous and apprehensive. He was accompanied on either side by a consta ble, while a strong guard of police preceded him, and another brought up the rear. The building was surroun i t by an excited crowd whotA hisses, yells and menacing atti tudes left little doul ' <»f the feeling* that are still entertained co o u*ning tbe prisoner. They were only kept back uy a large l<*rce of police and military, who closely guarded all approaches to the court room. Cunning ham's counsellor, Quillaim, came into court early, and sat near the prisoner. The gov ernment was represented by Mr. Poland, so licitor of the treasury, who opened the pro ceedings by briefly outlining the history of the case. He stated that the government proposed to show that Cunningham was one of the principals in the recent dynamite out rage, or at least knew of the conspiracy. He traced the prisoner’s movements, both in Liverpool and London, with great exactness, minutely detailing his movements, and nam ing the places at which he lodged. The mysterious box, which Cunning ham was known to have poss<ss/*d, could n d .»• found which v. ..•< incunsis nt with the prisoner’s claim of entire innocence. Mr. Poland went on to state that Cunning ham had been noticed in the vicinity of the tower previous to the explosion, and all the facts in the possession of the police tend to connect him with the crime. The prose cuting attorney, continuing, stated that the investigations of the politic and the examina tions of experts went to show that the exploit ive used was similar to that used in the previ ous explosions at London bridge and Charity; Cross. “The material used was undoubtedly dynamite" said Mr. Poland, “mid its explo sion was ingeniously arranged." Counsel went en to describe the machinery use I aod how the detonating cap caused the iguit«on. Mr Poland claimed it was r» ls-evident from the testimony, that the prisoner was, it least liable under the explosives act, and he hoped to produce evidence warranting the prisoner being charged with high treason At the conclusion of Mr. Poland's remarks several witnesses for the presecution were put forward, wh<>se testimony tended to con firm hw statements. The most important of these was Dr. Du pree, the government chemist, who gave Important evidence in the McDermott case with reference to the Glasgow ex plosion, in December, IVS 3. He testified that he bail examined the detonator found m Cunningham's luggage and that it con tained a small copper tube charged with eleven 1 f grains of a mixture of chloride potassium, and fulminate of mercury Dr. Dupree r.ted that a dose examination of the tube showed that the fuse had been attached thereto.

Mr. Sawyer’s Catton Gin Patent Upheld by the Court. Macon, Ga., Feb. 3.—A decision has been rendered in the United States circuit court, of the southern district of Georgia, that in volves the sum of $700,000, and nearly every cotton gin manufacturing company in Amer ica. It was the celebrated case of P C. Saw yer, the inventor and patentee of the Sawyer cotton gin. The Inventor is sixty-two years of age. He was an agent for Orvin W. Mas sey, aud traveled for the popular Massey gin, or what was better known as the old design Griswold gin, manufactured three miles fast of Macou. During the twelve years of his connection with this firm he became conversant with the construction of gins of various manufactures. In 1870 he left the firm and did a repair business, lu 187! he established a small gin manufactory. During the year he had drawings designed for a j>atent on gins He made one of the machines, and exhibited it at the Middle Georgia agricultural fair, in Augusta. Mas sey had one of his gins also on exhibition during the week. Massey got all the points of Sawyer’s gin and made a copy of it and afterward manufactured several thousand. Sawyer made a model and exhibited it at various places, and his gins were decided to be the best in the market. On March 26, 1573, an application for a patent was granted. The various firms throughout the country lie gan to use the gins and infringe on his patent He failed in 1874 on this account. In 1881 the first suit, a bill of com plaint was entered against parties. It was heard by Judge Pardee, of the United States court, in New Orleans. The decree was made negative in character. On October 23, 1888,8. A Dornell. United States district attorney, was retained as counsel, and he has fought the matter closely since On October 21, ’.884, a bill of injunction was filed by Peter C. Ehwyer against parties, praying au in junct ion against them for the use of a patent for cotton gins. This was claimed by Sawyer as having belonged to him as his exclusive property, and that he was the original inventor of it. The pur|x>se of his bill is to establish his claim and rights in i h<» patente 1 invention. The defendants ha ing made no answer, Sawyer’s solicitor moved for a final hearing, which was allowed and signed by the chancellor, Judge Settle, in which decree it was or dered and adjudged that the letters patent No. 6.189, granted Decembers, 1884, are good and valid in law, and Sawyer was the first and original inventor of the gin. ami that he was the exclusive owner of the patent An order of perpe ual injunction was issued against the deten lants from selling, manu facturing, or using the gin with the Sawyer patent. The effect was to ostab ish the valid ity and priority of Mr. Sawyer’s patent, ab ut winch much litigation has been had. The solicitor, imm iiately on the signing of the decree, filed another bill of injunction against other parties from using or manufacturing the rotton gin known as the Mas**y Excelsioi with the Sawyer patent attached, which in junction was allowr<i by the chancellor and subpoena tosh iw cause ordered. Ohio Guhernatoiial Forecast*. Columßes, Feb. 3. —The ()hio State Journal has ha ! returns from sixty-two counties of the state, giving gubernatorial preferences and expressions as to the platform for the next campaign. In its introduction the Journal says: “It is difficult to make a summary of the ‘preferences,’ for the reason that in some counties the reports read, 'Foraker, Kennedy or any other go-xl republican will do,’ oi come in some other irvhdhnte form. Then are nine of the repors giving no special favor ite, but a resume of fir. t choices -shows Fora ker 23, Kenn- iy 15, Beatty 6, Nash 4, Sher man and McKinley 3 each, Foster an 1 Tayloi 2 each, Lawrence, Delano, Crouse and Per kins 1 each. Alm< st without exception the writers tu the State Journal desire that the republicans should let the Democratic legislature have a monopoly of wrestling with temperance this time. One of the correspondrnts writes: “Repub lican feeling is much divided Columbus has two candidates for governor, Judge Nash and Gen. Beatty. Judge Nash is what is might tv called a “neutral’’ candidate. He tells every body that he is not seeking the office, and Judge Nash is a man to l>e believe! Bui should the nomination point his way, he will not turn his back upon it. Gen. Beatty has no ‘bureau,’ but is openly a candidate all the game. My judgment is that th? nominee will Le either Foraker or Nash or Beatty, with tht chances in the order of names But Gen. Kennedy has a large and enthusiastic follow Ing, particularly among the G. A. R Dur ing the [»ast week I have &en several items floating in the country j>aj>ers that Congress man Taylor, of Cambridge, is not a candidate as reported.” His V\ if*i for Businets Only. New York, Feb. 3 —Andrew Jackson Davis, the apostle of spiritualism, brought an action in the supreme court for the annul ment of his marriage, in 185\ with Mary F. Love, a spir t laiist lecturer. The case was referred U) W ( Holbrook, who has re|x>rted in favor of granting the decree. It appeared from the testimony before the referee that about a year after the marriage Samuel G. Love obtained a decree of absolute divorce in Buffalo from Mary F. Love, and on the mat ter b ing called to Mr. Davis’ attention be ceased to cohabit with her, but continued to maintain a brotherly and fraternal relation and to hold her out as his wife, because of their business relations, which made it neces sary sometimes for her to travel with him on bis lecturing tours. Since the recent decision of the court of appeals that a person prohib ited from marrying again commits bigamy by violating the prohibition, it was thought advisable to have the marriage annulled.

Two Buildings Damaged, but No One ln< J med -Dr. Wilson Creates Some Excite ment in Masonic Circles—Sixty-three Degrees Added to the Order. Nbw York, Feb. 3—The first criminal use of dynamite in this city greatly excited the people here on Sunday The explosion took place at a very late hour and one or two morning papers made second editions giving, the news. The explosion was at Garry Brothers’ dry goods store, Grant and Allen streets. At the time a number of person! were passing the spot, but none of them were injured. Captain Allaire and a squad of of ficers guarded the premises of Garry Broth ers, and of Ridley Brothers, the window’s of whose establishment were also shattered by the explosion. Shortly after the explosion four men were found in the shadow of the Rivingston street station of the elevated road, one of them, Charles Henry, a laborer, who said he lived at Williamsburg with severely cut head and face. The others, Wm. Britton, a waiter; Jas. Daily, a clejk, aud Jos. Lamb, a painter, were binding Henry’s wounds. All were arrested and remanded. A lad was arrested, charged with experimenting in dynamite, at the corner of Grand and Essex streets, where he succeeded in dislodging a portion of the horse oar track. It could not be connected with the other explosion. The bomb or cartridge used in last night’s explosion must have been placed immedi ately underneath the framework of the win dow of Garry Brothers’ store, the window casing and sash being entirely demolished. The shock was felt several hundred feet A lamp on a shelf in the Eldridge street house, three hundred feet away, was thrown to the floor. Dishes in tenement houses in the neighborhood rattled, and the iron stancions of the elevated railroad, near the store, looked as though they had received violent bio ws. There is no evidence that the cartridge was applied to Ridley’s store. Had it not been for the heavy elevated railroad structure which runs up Alien street lietween the two stores, however, the probability is a good part of the west side of Ridley’s building would have suffered. Many of Ridley’s employes came to the sjiot to guard the premises. The damage to both buildings is $2,500. The jsilioe are satisfied that the explosion was the outcome of the strike of Garry Brothen? amployea. Masonic Circles Excited. New York, Feb. 3.—Masonic circles in New York City have been stirred to the depths by the antics <>f Dr. Darius Wilson, who desires to run up the degrees of Masonry from the time honored thirty-third to the im posing ninety-sixth. Old Masons have died happy in the thirty third degree, and many brethren are now living on that eminence which, according to Dr. Darius Wilson, is down in the valley, compared to Royal Masonry's perch above the clouds. Dr. Darius Wilson, K. T., thirty three de grees, ninety degrees, ninety-six degrees, as bis title reads, is a Boston man. The rest of his title is Most Illustrious Grand Master General of the Sovereign Sanctuary, U. 8. A. In forming the order be took upon himself the burden of the highest office in the gift of himself. At the latest meetings of the various coin manderiea in the Masonic temple in this city many eminent sir knights were surprised to »ee their names signed to the following circu lar: No. 14 East Fourteenth Street, I New York, Jan. 5, ÜBS. f Dr. Darious Wilson: Sir: A large number of Masonic brethren of this city and vicinity desire to hear your explana tion of the ti >wly-named “Royal Masonic Rite,’’ of which they have heard in a report of a con vention held in Boston in December last, and hereby invite you to address them in the lecture room of the Grand opera-house, corner Twenty third street and Eighth avenue, on Friday even ing, January 80, next. Os the thirty-three name* signed to this let ter many of the owners indignantly deny having authorised their use, and they were willing to vouch for the denials of the ma jority of the remainder. Some of them de nounced the Bostonian in very lively language. Among the names used on the letter were those of the Rev. Dr. Deems, the Rev Stephen H. Tyng, J. W. Bouton, J. J. Little, Theophilus Pratt and Jerome Buck. Dr. Wilson hastened to oblige the distin guished New Yorkers, and named Saturday evening as the date of the expwition, free to all Master Masona He added that he had planned to be in Montreal to attend the carnival and to participate in the sessions of the Grand Ixxige of Quebe*; and the Sovereign Sanctuary, thirty-third, ninetieth and ninety sixth degrees of Royal and Oriental Free masonry for Canada. But a request from his native state and Masonic home, cumingas it did from so many eminent Masons, could not be refuse 1. Mr. Rawson, of the Methodist Book Concern, who is a son-in-law of Laura Keene, introducti Dr. Wilson. The lecturer then proceeded to give the origin and history of high degree Masonry and the proof that there was separate work aud labor for every one of the ninety-six de grees which were claimed L>r the Egyptian Rite of Memphis, and that the only legiti mate source of authority to confer these rites must come through either a king or priest. He must give the dates when certain kings, and particularily Jesuit priests, conferred twenty-five degrees of Masonry, and wound up an interesting and well memorized lecture, full of dates, by exhibiting a number of char ters and patent* from various Grand Lodges in Europ? granting authority to confer these high degrees in America, among which was one from the Grand Orient of France, with the signature of Louis Napoleon. Mr. Wilson then informed those present that a lodge would be opened in the Grand opera house building, when any master mason could receive a degree in the ancient rite without any charge whatever, and extended the invitation for all master masous to be present One of the solid masous whose name was signed to Dr. Wilson’s letter without hl» knowledge said that it was an open secret that some of the influential members loaned their names to the Wilson invitation ta bestow upon the fraternity a little amuse ment of the Count Johannes order. Still it is believed that other masons stand behind Darius Wilson with a well-conceived conspir acy toward a mastery of the governing bod ies of the ancient Yoik rite or the formation of rival grand bodies.

J., Feb. 3.—Ralph R. Har graves, a handsome blonde school tcacher of twenty three, in Camden county, Pa., had a beautiful sixteen-year-old pupil, yvho is the daughter of Pemberton L. Sickles, a wealthy farmer. While the result was not doubtful to others, the farmer was long to discern. AV hen h« discerned that a tender attachment exist ted between his daughter and the peda gogue, he threatened the daughter with con finement in au asylum and locked her up in the house, information of which was some how conveyed to the lover with bu assurance that she desired to desert her home for him. She was permitted to attend church Sun day, but after dinner she was missed by her father, who commenuxi a search, armed with a navy revolver, and acconqianied by two neighbors. The girl, whose name was Fannie Sickles, had met her lover and four of his friends at the school house, a mile distant, and here the pursuing party found her with them, discussing the next iteps to be taken. The farmer kicked the school house door open, and demanded bis daughter, but the sch'>ol master coolly In formed him that he could not have her, and reclosed the door in the wrathful old gentle man’s face, whereupon he and one of his neighbors hastened to Camden to secure a warrant, leaving the other neighbor and the navy revolver on guard; but while they were absei * Hargrave’s younger brother and a companion went after ami secured a spring wagon, drawn by two horses. The latter having arrived, the lovers passed out of the door, but neighbor Brown s>dd to the scoolmaster: “If you try to take that gal away, 1’1! blow your brains out.” Then there was a pause—also tears, bu f Hargrave's friends disarmed Brown. The party drove furiously to Camden, but at tl i city limits met farmer Sickles and party, including a justice who had been ad de 1, and the latter called out as the wagon dashed by: “Ralph Hargraves, I arrest you.” The runnaways only laughed at this, and laughed the more when the ’squire fired a pistol in the air, and continued into Camden, <’rossed on the ferry, and hastened to the Gir ard house, Philade.phia, fallowed soon by the father, who stormed as he en tered the hotel. While the enraged old man was explaining to the clerk of the hotel his boisterous conduct, the lovers and ;>arty em erged, entered a carriage, and were driven to the broad street railroad station, in time to board the Boston express, while Father Sick les hastened to a telegraph oflire and notified the police of Jersey City Here the story ends, as no news from the fugitives had been received up to midnight, but they are sup posed to have left the train at Mentor or Newark, to be marrieri.

Confessing to tins AssHssination of Six Per* sous -Their Bleached Bones Found at the Bate of a Haunted Crag— Arrest of the Fiend. Wheeling, W. Va., Feb. 3.—ln the late summer of ISfil, when this state was a part of Virginia, and when unionists and secession ists were engaged in constant brawls among these mountains, Elijah Wease, then about fifty years old, and living near Petersburg, Grant county, killed Hiram Ault, a neighbor, in the presence of Ann Gunn and a young man who was subsequently killed in the union army. Weaze was arrested for the murder ami incarcerated in Harrisonburg jail. He was a union man, and the unionists of the neighborhood claimed that his arrest was the result of secessionist spite. One dark night, therefore, a few days before that set for his trial, a band of union soldiers went to the jail and released him. Not long after he wandered of! to Virginia and was not heard from again till two years ago, when he re turned to the neigh lx>rhood of hfa crime. Meantime all the Ault family had died ex cept one sister of the murdered man. Miss Gunn had also moved away, and the memory of the murder had been effaced, the sister being at the time of the murder too young to know anything about it. A few days ago Miss Ault met Aim Gunn, while on a visit, and from her she learned the particulars of Hiram’s murder, including the startling in formation that his murderer was then living in Miss Ault’s neighborhood. Upon her re turn home she had Weaze arrested. When taken to jail he was searched, and on a woin and grimy sheet us paper was r ound a list of twelve persons who had mys teriously disappeared from the neighborhood luring Weaze’s former residence there. It was at once suspected that Weaze had a guilty knowledge of their mode of disapjiear inee, and he was closely questioned about the matter. Finally he confessed that he himself aad killed six of them. He said that he had enticed them one by one to a lonely crag, which for years has had die name of being haunted, and which no one in the neighborhood likes to visit. Catch ng them unawares, he had pitched them over, and they had been dnshe*! to pieces on the broken rocks below. He had hid the mangled bodies in a tangle of brush near by. Among the list of persons thus killed by the monster were his own son, Elijah Weaze, jr., tnd a near m-ighbor named Wm. Mclntosh. The neighbors and the officers alter the .'onfession visited the. haunted crag, and not tar from its base they found the bleached tones of five persons. The Broken Mississippi l.evees. New Oitia ns, Feb. 3. —Word is received ’rom Lake Providence, in East Carroll par sh, that the break in the Devonia levee was widened to about 1,200 feet, and an average lepth of three feet of water was pouring through from the Mississippi river upon the planta:ions in the rear. Assistant State En gineer Bolivar Thompson is on the ground, lofng what he can to secure the ends of the • vee, to prevent further caving Judge J. W. Montgomery and Judge W. W. Wiley ire the greatest sufferers, as their val iable plantations are in close proximity to the opening. If the presenL rise continues the re mit will be most disastrous, and the Vicks burg, Shn-veport aiid Texas railroad will soon be under water and its business stopped for the high water season. This ia one of the works which an act of the last legis lature required should tie given to the ring of levee contractors who, receiving max imum pay by law, are enabled to net a iianlsome revenue by the use of convict labor, whi< h is virtually donated by the state. I'he sufferers by the overflow allege that die coni Factors have frittered away valuable time when the weather was such that they tould, with the slightest exertion on their part, have completed the main levee at that point. They failed to do this, however, but waited until the bad weather came upon them, and attempted with scrapers to con itruct a run around out of frozen ground. The present condition of affairs is the result, md Gov. McEuery has to shoulder most of the blame as he favored the law in question, Mid promptly signed anil promulgated it. Murdered in Cold Blood. Cincinnati, Feb. 3.—Three weeks ago Herman Bu-srnan, employed in a cabinet •hop here, made the acquaintance of one Adolph Graffenstein, also a cabinet maker, who induced Bussman to start for San Fran elsco* At Vincennes, Ind., Graffenstein got bis companion to stop off, on pretense of col lecting $l5O from his uncle, and taking Buss man into a retired place fired five shots into him nt close range, robbed him of SSO, and left him for dead. Bussman recovered suf ficiently to get to a neighboring house and may live. Graffenstein is sai l to have re turned to Cincinnati and the city marshal and two deputies arrived in this city from Vincennes in search of the murderer. The entire police force was furnished with an ac curate description of Gaffenstein. The Vin cennes <>(ficerssay five bullets entered Buss man’s holy, and that while he was yet alive when they left Vincennes, the attending physician declares that the wounued man can not survive much longer. The officers say that Baseman made a statement to the effect that for some time Gaffenstein had lieen coax ing him to go west, and showed him a num ber of letters, which he nuw brlieves were bogiH, purporting to be from friends, giving flati ring accounts of how easily fortunes can be m ide. Altogether it was undoubtedly a cold-blooded murder. It is hardly probable i he can elude the officers much longer. Schnyler Colfax’s Death.

President Arthur also sends a letter ex pressing feelings of the deepest sorrow at the death of Mr. Colfax. No Race Distinction Allowed. Baltimore, Feb.
