Long testified that the child was laced im his charge by its dmother, Mrs. lulligan, who told him that the mother’s name a Etizabeth Robinson, that he kept it five months prior to its death, when, at her request, he called upon Smith to arrange for its burial” Mrs. Long testified that the grandmother of the baby sent to her to inquire if she would take the ehild to raise, informing her that it was Keith Smith's baby. She consented to take it, and when it &, Sick she sent to Keith to come and see it, which he did, and acknowledged himself ‘to be its father. He requested her to take good Care of it; that it had been a great expense to bim, costing him already over $300. He o desired to have it christened Edward Smith. ‘The child grew worse, and she called on Keith Smith, at the government printing office, and was told by him that he was busy, and that that was no place to see him on such business. She then wrote to him for means, and received an insulting reply, which was now in the hands of Superintendent Clapp, of the government print- ing office. After other witnesses were heard ive of the former owes, Mr. Miller, counsel for Smith, took exceptions to the amount claimed for medical attendance, as nothing had been proved showing that Smith eedered such attendance. ‘The Justice reserved his decision. Keith Smith, in s published statement, de- nies the whole charge, and says he is not « father, and bas never been, and any statement to that e‘fect is false.

The public wit! undonbtedly be giad to again welcome these fa- vorites, “the Chorals.” An institution of saci promise from its very inception should live to € a pride to the capital of the nation. Here. in Washington, are enough amateur vocalists to unite in forming a society which will rival any similar organization inthe country. The Chorals have already demonstrated this fact, and have now in their possession a prize ob- tained in @ severe struggle with the leading German societies in the land. To make ama- teur vocal societies successful there are two essent.al elements n , and these are, love of music, and congeniality between mem- bers. The Germans well know this great secret, and cherish it, and their oft-repeated “Ecce uam bonum” proclaims that there is some- thing beyond the great love fer music which binds them together. Let our Americans take up the idea, and while losing none of their love for music, make their rehearsals socially pleas- ant. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Members lose interest for the reason that @ routine business air is thrown around the re- hearsal, and, instead of a recreation, which after all, is the true interest of the vocal soci- ety, rehearsals become irksome by oft-repeated bars of intricate harmonies. Let the Chorals take this hint, and in the coming season of re- hearsals give a short space each evening to the “social,” and their success will be large. —— DevicaTion oF A HALY py SPIRITUALISTS.

I ac- cordingly yesterday waited on the Vice Consul and gave him my information that he might get it officially from Morton. He atonce told me he had already had these statements from Mor- ton. I further ascertained the testimony of cer- tain others was corroborative so far of Morton's and I am satisfied that the Vice Consul, who is a lawyer, leans toa seriously IMPLICATING DR. BRSSEL. Morton oe Hall and Bessel were not on terms. Hall returned from the journey which preceded his fatal illness in perfect health, and was only @ short time in the cabin when, after taking some coffee, he became sick and yom- ited. He solemnly affirms that the doctor told him on the second day after Capt. Hall’s illness that it would be fatal. Hall complained to Morton that “ they were poisoning him.” Bes- sel gave Hall injections, ostensibly of quinine, but it is hinted that morphine was used. Mor- ton be sng ry believes that Bessel killed Hall inorder that he might rob him of the honor of discovering the north pole. Bessel believed that the expedition was sure to be saccessful. With regard to Buddington, Morton affirms that Buddington was sometimes loose in his habits, and gave offence to Hall, who, on more than one occasion, showed his marked disapproval. He, however, SCOUTS THE IDEA that Buddington killed Hall. A formal docu- ment now given up to the Consul, a holograph of Hall, and written a few days betore his death, expressed perfect confidence in Buddington. ‘The crew aver that the sailing master drank, but never was absolutely intoxicated. Morton charges Buddington with showing the white feather as to proceeding north thnough the ice. At consultations with Hali and his brovher of- ficers he called hima perfect coward, yet withal & man too id to crush & mosquito were it under his foot. The carpenter, Mr. Coffin, who made the bier for Hall, speaks of the face of the corpse as having been the most natural of all the many dead faces he has seen. It was perfectly calm, devoid of contortions or expres- sion of pain, and particularly fresh in color. Post mortem rigidity alone bespoke the pres- ence of death. Buddington and the doctor are not friendly. The former gives out that he knows @ deal which he would say to any one save to the Consul or to the United States au- thorities. The common seamen refuse to say anything, and generally plead ignorance of what was done in the cabin. The only conclu- sion we can come to on the whole testimon; that either Morton speaks the truth or labor: under @ hallucination, which 1s shared in by the captain, or that both of them have formed A DAMNAPLE CONSPIRACY againstan honest man. The captain and Mor- ton roomed together; the officers and crew were all rooming in one hotel, with the exception of the doctor, who roomed at the Royal hotel, where he was a great rorite with all the guests and won golden opinions yy his ex ngly frank, pleasant manne! ig reticence as to the details of the captain's illness was in conse- quence of a deliberate resolution to which he persistency and successfully adhered, despite all the endeavors of members of the press to se- cure information from him. Both Buddington and the doctor are prepared for arrest immedi- ately on their arrival at New York. All who have enjoyed Dr. Jessel’s acquaintance pray God that the dark accusations may prove utter- ly groundless. Dr. Bessel and the other officers and members of the crew cannot be said to be very friendly. Buddington has been drinking slighly during his stay in Dundee. tis certain that he is in @ state of considera- ble trepidation and anxiety about something. Probably he anticipates @ severe overhauling from the Navy department. So faras the charge of poisoning ‘against Buddington goes, it is negatived by Bessel, who affirms so stoutly that Hall died a natural death. His conduct on ship voard is vindicated by @ formal paper lett by BUDDINGTON HAS PEW ENEMIRS. With the crew generally Buddington is on capital terms. The most singular feature of the whole matter is that Tyson’s party made a charge of foul play, and that the same charge is reiterated by certain members of Buddington’s party, but against another individual.” TRE FINanciat Pres: AND ITS Ra- SULTS.—Messrs. Peake, Opdyke & Co., of New York, who failed on Saturday, say their suspen- sion was caused by disruption of exchanges, and that they will uitimately pay one hundved cents on the dollar.
