MR. MURCH CLAINS 10 WAWR. IMPORFANT Doct- MENTARY EVEDENCE. ‘The Hill investigating commnittes will not meet until Thursday morning “My. -Murch said to a Srax reporter that he win.by that. time have pre- pared documentary evidence: FLAYING THE STAR ROUTERS, Mr. Merrick Continues His Address. Mr. Merrick this morning resumed his address to the jury in the star route trial. He made a briet resume of his remarks of yesterday afternoon respecting the policy of the government. He cited the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case of Garfieid vs. The United States, re- Ported in the 934 U. 8.,1n which the court said the object of the statute respecting the advertise- ment of routes was that favoritism should b> pre- vented and economy of service be secured. He re- ferred to Brady’s testimony, and said that as there Was no way of converting a losing contract into a gaining contract under the law, these defendants ‘schemed to discover a way outside of the Jaw, and they resorted to affidavits. WHAT STRUCK MR. MERRICK. ‘Mr. Merrick sald that when he first entered the case, he had been struck with a very singular and to him unaccountable fact, and that was that a plain, plainly educated, and seemingly unenter- prising man. engaged in selling tinware in Ver- mont had come down to Washington city and entered upon the business of mail contract- ing. He had obtained a mail route for which he was to receive from the government $1,700 a year. He had sublet the con- tract to be carried ata cost of $2,500 a year, thus Making the government a present of $800 a year. ‘The question had arisen In his mind, how it hap- ened that this man would leave his business in Vermont to take acontract at such a loss. That did not look like Yankee thrift. He had concluded that there was ‘ SOMETHING BEHIND THIS MYSTERIOUS PROCEEDING. lils investigation had then showed how, within twelve months by Brady’s orders, this losing con- tract had been converted into a most profitable one. Mr. Chandler claimed that there was no loss on the route, as It had been sub-let first for $1,500. Mr. Merrick sald the contractor had sub-let It for $1,500, but the sub-contractor failed immedl- ately and relet the route tor $2,500. He said that the counsel on the other side’ would not dispute that the route had been so expedited as to pay a Profit of over $8,000 a year. * Mr. Chandler sald that only disproved Mr. Mer- Tick’s theory that a losing contract could never be converted into a gaining contract. Mr. Merrick sald that was done by the perjury Of the contractors. = THE ACROBATIC SWEARER. ‘Mr. Merrick having spoken of a route hela by Miner, whom Mr. Merrick described as an acro- batic swearer, which by similar methods had been converted from a route losing $800 a year to one paying a profit of over $5,000 a year, Mr. Henkle Interrupted to say that after the expedition Miner had not drawn a dollar on the route. Mr. Merrick declared that they were a band of Pirates and conspirators, and oue drew from an- other. Mr. Merrick took up the various routes in the indictment showing how each had been made into @ profitable contract. ADVICE TO THE JURY. He bade the Jury if they would devise any theory which could be appiled to these contracts so as to bring about these results 1n a legal way, to give the defense the benef of It, but not to be lachry- mose about it; to calculate ‘with a clear head aad an unclouded understanding. These were figures; but not figures of speech; facts and not fgments of the imagination. Mr. Merrick remarked upon the practice of the contractors to make the sub-contractor pay all the flnes and penalties, and instanced the case of Joseph on the Ojo Callente route, who had been Tulned by the fines and penalties imposed. Dor- sey afterwards had $1,400 of the fines and penal- ties remitted and put {t into his own pocket. He Kept it until the last trial, when Joseph came here asa witness, at which time Dorsey paid him. Mr. Merrick exhibited ONE OF THE CONTRACTS written by Boone at 8. W. Dorsey's direction, In which Mr. Ingersoll sald 1t was printed that the sub-contractor should receive 65 per cent of expe- dition. Tne contract exhibited had 40 per cent filied tn with a pen. Mr. Ingersoll, he sald, who had criticised the addresses of Messrs. Bliss and Ker with so much acrimony, should have made sure that he did not err in what he told the jury himself. ‘The speeches of his associates (Messrs, Ker and Biss) covered over 500 closely-printed pages, and stich condensed, clear, compact argu- ments, he had never before heard in a court of Justice. Mr. Ingersoll paid them a high tribute when, with the afd of all his associates, he was able only to detect 8 or 10 slight variations from the record. ‘The usual recess was taken. ue ee District Government Affairs, THE CONTRACT FOR DOG TAGS AWARDED. ‘The contract for furnishing the dog tags—3,000— for the year 1883 was to-day awarded by the Dis. trict Commissioners to Mr. Jultus Baumgarten, of this city.

Sr. Lovrs, May 29.—The strike of the Mlinots miners, which cuiminated yesterday in rioting and bloodshed, has been in progress for fully wo Weeks. A remarkable feature of its later stages Was the active part which the wives and dauch- ters of the miners took In preventing the new men from working the mines. These Amazons, num- bering tully 300, marching tn battle array, and supported by about 150 miners, took possession of the mines yesterday, and work was entirely sus- pended throughout ‘the district. Tho militia which Gov. Hamilton had ordered out on Taurs- day, consisting of compantes from Taylorsville, Edwardsville and Virden, had been concentrated at East St. Louis, soas to’ be in readiness to pro- ceed to any point threatened. They were yLiced under command of Col. Barkley, of Springfield, Who received ipstructions from’ the governor to take his orders from the sheriff of the county In which the troops were stationed. Yesterda’ morning Col. Barkley Was notified ‘that the mol had taken possession of the mines around Belle- ville and the civil authorities were powerless, ARRIVAL OF THE SOLDIERS. He immediately started with his three com- panies on board and arrived at Belleville late in the afternoon, where he learned that the mob had taken possession of mine No. 1, at Reinicke, a small station on the Louisville and Nashville ratl- Toad, in St. Cluir county, about 33¢ miles west of Belleville. The militia ten started for that point, Teaching 4t at about 5:30 p.m. From the car win- dows they saw a mob of 500 strikers and about 109 frantic Women in possession of the mite. The Women had just come from Rose Hiil, a, wild Tage, were very much more demonstrative than the men. | ‘The train had stopped in a ravine between two high hills, and both bluffs were cov- ered with strikers, the women having taken a position on the summit. Deputy Sheriff Anthony, Of St, Clair county, mounted upon a box on the depot platform, and addressing the strikers, said he did not desire to have trouble, but he wanted the laws complied with, and urged the mob to disperse peaceably, A SOLDIER suoT. Before he had concluded, the report of a pistol Tang out on the air, followed by two more shots from the summit of the hill The deputy felt a bullet whistl past his ear, and noticing wliere the smoke came from in the mob drew his pistol and fired in that direction. This was the signal for a general fusilade from the mob, and one of the Soldiers who was just getting out of the ears tell with @ bullet through his knee. THE TROOPS FIRE WITH FATAL EFFECT. Two-thirds of the militia were still in the cars When deputy sheriff Antiony ordered Colonel Barkley to give the word to fire, and the colonel shouted out the command to his men. The troops filed rapidly out of the cars and poured a volley into the strikers with deadly effect. The latter retreated but returned the fire. whereupon a Second volley was given by the miiftig, The mob, men and women altke, scattered aad ran helter- skelter through the gullies and ravines. After the smoke had cleared away. it was found that one of the strikers had been instantly killed and another shot through the head so that he cannot Tecover. A third Was shot through the hins. Several made their escape, leaving blooly trails behind them. The exact number of wounded has not as yet been learned, but the following is the most authentic LIST OF THE CASUALTIES obtainabie at present:—Strikers—Fred.

He had been in Belleville two weeks, The glass blowers at Belleville are on a strike, and some of them were with the striking miners’ yes- terday, which accounts of Hotmaster’s presence at Reinicke mine. ‘There seems to be no doubt that Deputy Sheriff Anthony ordered the troops to fire on the mob, but not until several pistol shots had been fired’ by the strikers.
