Tmenn a review of the Officer Race murder case, As1 have stated heretofore, the burglary of Jatfray’s store was conceived by Lesser Fried~ berg on or_about Sept. 32, 1878, On that night Friedberg, Barvey, and 1 pledged over whisky eternal friendsbip. On my part the pledge was sfncere: on theirs, sincere, i it paid.

Here is the proof: On tha 4th of October; 1875, he was arrested; onthe 12th John Lamb; on the 29th of the same month 1 was arrested, On tha Tth of Novemwber, 187, 1 was taken before Superintendent Seavey and Depnty-Su- perintendent Dixon.

White, Second Daughter of Addis. ¢ She Asserts Her Belief in the Purity and Innocemce of Her HMother, Insists that Her Father Is a Villain, for Whom the Gallows Is Too Gaod, » And Wonders that He Does Not Kill Him- self Rather than Face Paublio Scorn. Further Futile Efforts of the Only Son to Stop the Trial ‘Special Dispaten to The Chicao Tribune. Gnraxp Rarms, Mich,, Feb. 12.—In the Addis case to-day the only witness has been AMrs. Sophia R. White, of San Francisco,~ second daughter of the parties. In the con- clusion of the direct examination she identi- fied & second letter sent by her to herun- married sisters here,—Auna and Maria,—in answer to their letter mentioned yesterday. In it she repeats her sympathy for her mother, her belief in her virtue, and her hatred of her father, Insisting that the gallows is too goud for him, that he is a villain, and that she is glad they have found friends who espouse her mother’s cause, and wonders if her father will not kitl himself rather than face the public-atter i t SUCH A VILLAINOUS ACT. She assures them that she and her husband will help vindicate her mother’s character and secure a big slice of the property. She swore, too, that neither she nor her sisters would speak to their father- because of this trouble; that they all believe their mother s virtuons. wronged woman, and would not believe ther father under oath in this case. :She nlsu suid that she had understood that her brother Will had aided his father in the | case—rather sided with him. But, however, Will had told her that he believed IS MOTHER INNOCENT of the crime of adultery alleged against her by his father. The ecross-examination, lasting about five hours, developed these salient features. She had seen three acts of cruelty towards her mother by her father. Once he was choking ber mother, but left no marks. . Another time she was sent away by her father. Iler mother told her she had been pounded untll she was Inme all over. ‘The mother swore thatat that time he had used a stick of stovewood, and she saw three seratches on the right side of her mother’s neck, the larg- est perhaps a quarter of an inch long, as the result of it; and the third time HE HAD PUSHED HER MOTHER OUT OF DOORS. Her mother had told her of other acts, many, but she-did not know of them of her per- sonal knowledge, nor did she see the effects. She was examined at length as to the treat- ment she and the other chilaren had re- celved. " Her father had moved from a farm to Newaygo to give the children a _better'education and give the ‘family more privileges. There he gave.them a fine Steinway piano, a horse and carriage for their use, and kept them all in school four years. Then he came to Grand Rapids for still farther privileges, . He kept them all in school here, or-sent: them -away to school, " and Onl¥f ceased that because of : THEIR MOTHER'S OPPOSITION. He had given them all music lessons, horses and carriages, valuable presents of gold watehes, and chains, and jewelry; allowed them $3,000 a year for household ex- penses, and frequently more; gave them unlimited credit at some of the finest shops; took them and their mother on frequent trips to New. Orleans, around the lakes, down the St. Lawrence, to Kansas'and Nebraska, down the Mississippt by boat, and all the time; still she swore he was cruel, and they feared and did not Jove him. ‘He gave the daughters, as they mar- ried, fine outfits of clothing and furniture, costing several. hundred dollars, and each about $1,000 apiece besides, Three of the daughters have been married, and one came back home, her father taking her part when SHE SEPARATED FROM HER HUSBAND. He even went to Leadville in 1579 to_get a home and furnish it for one married daugh- ter who proposed to live there, going in_ad- yatee to prepare the way. ’ He offered to teach the witness’ husband his business and give him an interest after atime. He had stayed at home from business seven _weeks 4t _one time whel?‘cnm for her through a severe illness, and had paid for her over a year after she was married and while her child was born. Never since she could re- member had he refused to grant a request or favor in his power to her or her sister. Ie lad always appeared to strive for their ood opinion. Xi}’g never had used violence toward one of them after they were 12 years old, though 2 HE HAD A HOT AND HASTY TEMPER. All this time her mother told herand them that- their father was a hypoerit and con- stantly scolding and grumbling about them, and only dolng as he did by them for effect. All she knew to the contrary as to her father’s feellngs toward her and them was what her mother told her many times. The father never aliowed his temper to master him so that he acted otherwise than kind to them-in their presence or in speaking of them, save to their mother. The case will continue on Monday. Itis developing such a variety of testimony and sensations that it becomes a remarkable problem, and the partisans of either side have many diverse theorles as to which side mest wrong. Meanwhile & THE §0N WILL yet striving to settlo and ;) got his rnl.he% to offer ‘his fnt?t‘htg‘ sc-’:f mix;l cash, & valuable farm, and to pay all the ex- Dpenses of the case thus far, to drop it and separate.” Mrs. Addis’ attorneys refused thmtlal\ien though the son_offered to add seitled. ‘The case probably cannot be THE GRANT ARTICLE, Some of Mr. Metcalls False Statements Refuted by Mr. Charles E. Harring- om, - 08w o Erening Post, Feb. 10. Mr. C. E. Harrington, the New York cor- respondent of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, com- plains that an article printed last . week in the Evening Post entitled %A Literary Theft,” and relating the manner in whichthe North American Review’s Grant article on the Nicaragua Canal was obtained for pre- ature publication, in THE CrIcAGO TEIB- UNE, did Injustice to the young man accused of the theft. Ar. Harrington said yesterday to an Evening Post reporter: “I have no destre to discuss the question, bot, since you have questioned me, I will say that the report of an intervlew with Mr. L. S, Metealf, of the North American Review, in the Evening Post of J: an. 81, and headed *A Literary Theft’ was a perversion of . facts from which unwarrantable deductions ara drawn, Mr Metealf no doubt felt that he must satisfy his superiors that he did not give away the Grant article on the Nicaragua Canal question, and the office boy at the bindery also Iabored un- der the same impression so far as his duty to his employers was concerned.. But it §s not Justifiable in Mr. Metealf to assertin public prints the false statement that larcenous Dmfizlfizefiua n.snlel‘: x,"s’ieu:slt erts, that the Revlew article was abstmc:::s from the bindery when the office-boy’s back was d.

In it concermng the Eads scheme, “So far as Mr. Metealf is concerned, he had nothing to do with the premature pub- lieation of the article, nor did any person em- D by the Appletons. A ““There is no need of pursuing the subject further, except to say that Mr. Metealf’s as- sertion relative to JIr. Joseph Medill is equal- ly incorrect. 1le suys thata representative from Pinkerton’s Detective Agency of Chi- cago, called on Mr, Joseph Medill, proprietor of Tug CiicaGo TRIBUXNE, Iaid the facts be- fore him, al asked where he got the article, and that he * curtly replied he had “ got the scoop on the whole American press” and he “wasn’y zoqu to %hu his man away.”? Ar. Joseph Medill'sald nothing of the kind. He was not seen. Mr, Wiilium Pinkerton saw Alr. S, J. JMedill, managing editor of Tne TRIBUNE, and told him he did not ask the nane of the man who got the artiele, but as the New York papers had accused the Apple- tons of having givitte Ty Criicaco TrIBUNE an advance copy of the North dmericun Re- wview, he desired to relieve them of thee —that wasall. So. Mr. S, J. Medill AMr. Pinkerton, ‘Say to your New Yorl that while Tue TIBUNE refuses to_divulze the source from whence it obtained the Grant article, it fully exonerates not only the Ap- pletons, but all persons employed by that firm from all complicity in the procurement of the article,’” * 5 The Evening Post reporter found it im- possible to make Mr, Harrington say deh_nmy that the young man who obtained the Grant article did not represent to persons at .the rinting and binding offices that le camo row M.

It bas tho dirtiest stream of water in the United States and the handsomest lake front.. 1t has wot more wooden pavemont than would muke up the hends of the Democratic Em‘l . It has tho biggest and least comfortabie otels in Christendom. It has the biggeet bar- rooms and smallest churches of any capital in the country. Its theatres are the best and itg street accommodations the worst in the West! But many months of the year it is a fine town to livain. From July to October the whent men are all up at Geneva Leke and the city has wmuny charms, Buta gm)d wine needs no bush; Chicago will be all right in time, when the exuberance of youth has passed. She must study to get even witb New York in extraneous attractions. Since everything - big under the sun takes up fts march for Chicago, the city must, {n viudication of her renown, mateh tho monolith by picking up the Pyramid of Cheops and planting It in_Lincoln” Park or on the lake-frout to shade Michignn avenue froin the sun. Whynot? Chicago imported Carter Har~ Tison fram Kentucky, and un cnergy egunl to that needn’t shrink from a pyramid. It will never du for Chicago to admit ‘at thisstage of her career that there IS anything " big ** outside the emerald circle of bier prairie boundaries that She cannot match, save always the fect of the St. Louls {adies] The stupenduosity of these even the colossal streets of Chicago cannot com- pletely tell. But this is the lust concession tha consistent Chicagoan can admit.

The Chinese Treaty Inquiry Falling into Disrepute with Scnators, WasmINGTON, D. C., Feb, 10.—Thereseems to be a revolt against the conduct of the Sen- ate Committee on Privileges and Elections in reference to premature publication of the Cbinese treaties. Some of the Senators have thus far failed to obey the summons of the Committee_to appear before them for the purpose of making answer to the series of questions which were recently published in the New York Times. At the executive ses- sion of yesterday Mr. Saulsbury called atten- tion to the refusal of Senators to respofid to tha invitation of the Committee, and proceeded to lecture tho delinquents for their failure to manifest & proper apprecia- tion of the outraged ‘dignity of the Senate, Mr. Saulsbury _ appealed to Senators to assist his Committee in main- taining the dignity of the body, but was forced to admit, fromn the apparent indiffer- ence with which- his remarks were received, t the investigation had become very dis- couraging, Itis evident that a large number of Senators are heartily ashamed of this en- tire business, and that ‘they are determined not to permit Mr. Saulsbury and his col- leagues on the Committee of Elections to ex- pose them to the ridicule which is sure to at~ tend this proceeding should it be continned to that point where the doings of the Com- mittee will be made public. 1t is not likely now that the newspaper correspondents who obtalned the treaties will be called upon to tell where they obtained them. It is u pity that this investigation should be discontinued Just at the point where itwould most interest the public, if not the Senate. - Mr, Saulsbury can reach several gentlemen with the Comn- mittee’s summons who can answer most of the questions of his catechism, and he knows where they may be found. . . -Clearings were $1,3,000.
