He declined the Job, but took Angusta to the theatre and returned with her to Bone street, and slept in the house that night, know ing before he went to bed that the murder had been committed. The collector of San Francisco, Cal., has taken measures to stop the introduction of cat- tle via the Isthmus, and has notified the-offi- cers of customs along the coast to prevent cat- tle and hides coming in from foreign ports. An omnibus line was organized there yester- day in opposition to the street railroads. The most prosperous whailng season ever ex- periencea now closed until August.

A jury for the trial of Probst, the murderer of the Deering family, was empaneled yester- day, and the case was opened by Charles N Mann, who detailed the character of the proof which the Commonwealth is prepared to offer connecting the prisoner with the murder of Christopher Deering. 1t will be shown that Probst had been at work on the farm, and was missing when the body of Mr. Deering and the other victims were found, and that when arrested he was in the posses-ion of Mr Deer- ing’s clothes. Besides that it will be proved that he sold other property of the murdered an which was carried eff after the murder. me of this, the Commonwealth will show, Was seen with Probst on the evening of the day the murders were committed. The counsel for the people will argue from the proof touching the articles referred to thut Probst had not any aecomplice, but that the murder of the whole eight persons was the work of one man. The defense will not call any witnesses, and all that the counsel can do is to argue against the presumption that all the murders were committed by the prisoner, basing their argu- ment upon the fact that the prisoner, from his arrest cown to the ume of his arraignment, adhered to the story of an accomplice, admit- ung that he killed the boy Cornelius Carey, but Genying the killing of the others. It was sup- posed that the popular defense in such cases, that of Lomicida! insanity, would be made, but it is now stated that it will not, and that the counsel will solely depend upon the assumed want of probability that all the murders were committed by Provet. Among he witnesses in attendance was Mrs. Dolan, the mother of Miss Dolan, Mr. Theouore Mitchell. owner of the farm, several occupants of farms adjoining that where the murder was committed, und two or three of the persons to whom Probst sold, or offered to sell articles that be had carried off. The coroner and the physician were also present. There being danger yet of lynch law, the police arrangemeni~ for protection of the pris- ouer are still carried out. It is thought the trial will be concluard to-morrow. oie SS ete ee ee ed THE EXPLosion AT ASPINWALL.—A private letter from Aspinwall, recounting the particu- lars of the terrific explosion on the steamer European, says: Was atthe moment standing on the side- walk in front of our office, facing the wharf, so that I saw without being near enough to be in danger trom the explosion: and I assure you that it was a most fearful sight. The air, for agreat distance in height, was filled with lurid flame and fragments of every con- ceivable shape, size and uature—splinters, beams. bales, and boxes, torn open and con- tents flying—pieces of iron, and, most horrible ofall, limbs and fragments of human bodies dreadfully torn and mangled.” ‘The company to which the European be- longed has been very unfortunate, having lost five steamers during the last year. and it is feared they will be obliged to suspend. @7The New York Citizen calls upon the Fe- nian leaders to do something or quit their humbug demonstrations :—“ We tell the leaders of the Fenian movement they mustact prompt- ly atthe hazard of their lives, or be pilloried in a tudicrous infamy. The generous faith of the Irish race has placed vast sums of money at their command on ths side of the Atlantic, while scores upon scores of the finest hearts in Ireland now throb and fret within English penitentiaries and prison ships for acts under- taken on the faith of aid in men and money to be received from this quarter. Conventions must stop, eloquent addresses must stop, and all such capturing of flags. Not another dol- iar shonid any where be given to the cause un- til some evidence is furnished that the leaders mean business. Let them either disband at once or give us some taste of their quality.” FINANCIAL.—The activity in stocks in New York increases. and covers a large portion of the list. The Commercial Advertiser says:— Governments were temporarily shaken by the reportot a further decline of 1 per cent. in Five-twenties in London.
