THE DEFENSE HAVE FATLED prosecution is to tear it down, as they promised, The taking of testimony closed yesterday af. ternoon, and up to the close of the night session two lawyers for each side had ar- gued the case. McNeely, for the de fense, was the first speaker to-day. He dwelt particularly upon the fact of Zora's pregeancy, apd attempted to show that the train boy, Carter, and not Carpenter, wae the father of her unborn child. He attacked the evidence of Miss Thomas, who testitied to seeing Carpenter’s rig on tke road Sunday night. He had nothing to say against the Iady’s truthfulness, but ehe was mistaken. McNeely's speech was not an exhaustive one, as he touched on but few points in the case and drew but a few logical deductions from them, He dwelt upon the IMPROBABILITY OF MURDERER being his client, but hardly attempted to show from the facts in the case that he was innocent. Blinn followed him. The arguments he presented this morning were most exhaustive. Beach, for the defense, said of Blinn lasc night: *‘He is the meanest man to follow in a case I ever knew. He is a gouger and always gets to the bottom, He can shave the truth closer without cutting it than any man 1 ever saw,and when he gets through to-morrow there wont be anything left of that case. Prrerspicra, 1L, March 20.—The en- tire day was consumed in the hearing of the arguments of the three counsel in the THE are still anxiously awaiting a reply to Moervine Thompson’s challenge 'to fight John L. Sulltvan for 5,000 a side, Lon- don prize-ring rules. Parson Davies went another dispatch to Sullivan yester- day afterncon asking him to *‘declare himself,” but the dispatch was not answered. Although Sullivan’s backers in Chicago were authorized to arrange only for a fight according to Marquis of Queensberry rules, there are any num- ber of men who will back him. in a Lon- don prico-ving match, and should he ignore Thompson’s challenge many who are now his friends will acouse him of coward:oe. the ary A WRESTLE FOR ROSS.

Just.as the last sleeper pulled .past them, one of the |l gentlemen raised his cane and pointing towards the rear. platform, seid: *“That's Thompson.” The gentleman referred to jumped down from the steps and made his way toward the stairs. 'The party of gentlemen followed and_insisted on mak- ing hia acquaintance.

S ALLLA CHICAGO' MARKE Better Trade and a Slight Advance All Avound. Special Dispateh to Tik Bix, Curc i0, March 20.—The cattle mar- kot opened brisk, with a slight advance on shipping and dressed beef grade. The demand was mainly for good killing cat- tle for the dressed beef trade; big export ttle did not share in the general ad- vance, though there was a fair export or- dor on the market. Butchers's stock was m, and there were a good many buyers stockers and feeders on the market. he market closed active and 10c¢ higher; 350 to 1,500 lbs, export grades, $4.30 $6.95; good to choico shipping, 1,200 1,350 lbs, $5.75 to §6.20: common to edium, 1,000 to 1,200 lbs, §5.00 to 55.60.

WOE ON THE W THE EARLTER ACC Prrrsyuran, March 20.—The Chicago limited express coming east ran into a landslide near Columbiana, Ohio, this morning at four o'clock and was wreckod. No particulars of the accident have been received here yet, but asa special train with physicians left for the scene, it is believed a number of persons have been injured. A later report says Engineer Richards and the fireman, name unknown, were killed instantly. All passengors more or less injured, none killed. Official reports to the Pennsylvania company say the limited express was coming down the Franklin grade, three miles east of Salem, O., at the rate of forty miles an hour when the engine met an obstruction of some kind, and, JUMPING THE TRACK, | the embankment. The entire train left the rails, but only the baggage car and smoker up- set. When the engine overturned the boiler exploded. James Richards, engineer, and Charles Rhodes, fireman, were blown several hundred yards and instantly killed. The baggage wmaster, Beisel, and Brakeman Landes, were slightly injured. Six passengers were also painfully hurt, butnone dangerous- ly. Their names could not be learned. Other passengers were BAPLY SHAKEN UP, but uninjured. A train was sent out from here immediately and the passen- gere transferred. It will arrive somo time this afternoon when further particulars will be obteined. No telegraphic reports have been received from the scene of the accident. S went over ANGTHBR ACCOUNT says the train consisted of an engine, threo passenger _coaches, baggage oand mail car and sloep- er. Upon reaching Franklin Hill, the en- gine left the track, pliging down the embapkment thirty feet. The baggage- car and smoker followed and were badly wrecked, To add to the horror almost before the pussengers could realize what had happened, the boiler of the engine bursted with o report heard for mules. The beggage car, lying near the engine, was blown to pieces. Thedead and man- glod bodies of the engineer and firemen were found 400 yards away. Inaddition to the injured given already, the colored porter ot the Pullman sleeper was seri- ously injured. As yet no definite cause can bo assigned for the accident, but the opinicu is expressed that sn_obstruction was waliciously placcd on the track in such a way us to be unnoticod by the en- gineer in time to avert the accident.

Chicago east-bound limited express at an oarly hour this momming, states that while rounding a sharp curve, running at.c high | rate of speed, the boiler exploded with | terrific violence, hurling the engine down a fifteen-foot embankment, blowing the engineer and fireman 400 feet and killing them instantly.

Wasnisaroy, March 20,—Representa tive Budd, of California, appeared before the house committee on post office and post roads to-day, and argued that the proposed contract postal telegraph com- pany was defective in form and sub stance. It was a trick of the Mackey company, and was introduced for the sole purpose of preventing the passage of the Sumner bill establishing government postal telograph, This company proposed to prevent government's action on the postal telograph for ten years, and yot it was only bound to transmit at the pro- posed rates in free delivery citiea and could “‘gauge” smaller places if it chose. For several years the people west of the Mississippi were to suffer under the ex- orbitant rates as the company was not to build there for that poriod. The propo- sition, plainly put, is to kill the Sumner postal tolegraph bill, to throw away a privilege worth forty millions, to stop postal telegraph relief for ten years and aid this corporation in forcing & consoli- dation with the old ones or to purchase their lines and rights, against the trans- fer of which the bill does not provide. In conclusion, Budd denounced the bill as a job, and said it should be strangled in ita incepiency. He declared that noth- ing short of the postal telogravh system would satisfy the people. MURDERED BY HIS MAT Trial of Convict Anderson for Kille ing Conviet Mooney in a Joliet Cell. Cnicaco, 111, March 20.—The Daily News' Waukegan (111.) special says: The trial of Michael Mooney, charged with the murder of his cellmate, John Ander- son, at Joliet penitentiary, begins here to-day on a change of venue. 'The body of the murdered man contained thirty- three knifo wounds. Mooney was con- victed of murder on the first trial, and during the hearing the head of his sup- posed victim was exhibited in_court by the prosecution to make certain of his conviction, The other prison ofticials told the story of the murder—how Andersor. and Mooney were locked in the same cell; how a scream was heard and the watch- man went to the cell and found Ander- son dying from knife stabs and Mooney lying in the upper bunk saying that Auderson had fallen in a fit; how Mooney’s hand and underclothing were bloody, and finally, how the wounds were of such a character as to preclude the possibility of suicide. A TR (Bt TRAGEDV. Heard at Right Rapids The Cry of Murder on a Cedar Bridge. Croar Rarms, Ta., March 20.—An unknown man to-night was murdered after a fearful struggle on the trestle leading to the Chicago, Milwaukeo & St. Paul bridge on the woet side of the riv er. The body wae carriew ¥ a point m the bridge and drovped into the river. Two men, hearing the struggle and call for help, rushed to the scene. The night was cloudy. The murderer was hidden on the trestle and f'ed in a westerly di- rection. An alarm was given the police force and others on: the track. The mur- derer is tall, stout, light-boerded and bald, wearing no hat, with clothes and hands blood-stained. His capture is cer- tain unless aided by friends. — The Kansas Legislature. Toreka, March 20.—The senate this morning took no action regarding the cattle disease, but consumed all the ses- sion discussing the railroad bill. The house, after making the caitle disease bill introduced yesterday the epecial or- der for this afternoon, took up general legislation, Several bills were introduced.

NOTES. —Nominations 1IGHTH CONGIRESS, SENATE, Wasmizaron, March 20.—The reso- lution introduced by Mr, Van Wyck (rep., Neb.) was agreed to, calling on the secretary of the treasury to furnish tho senate copies of the acconnts and youchers of the disbursing agent of the department of justice for miscellaneous expenses relating to star route cases for the last three years. Mr, Hoar (rop., Mass, ) was then called up and the senate resumed the consideration of the bill in- creasing the sularies of United States dis trict judges to £5,000. Tho pending question was on Morgan's amendment providing that the increase shall only ap- ply to judges herenfter appointed. Mr. Allison (rep., lowa), from the committeo on appropriations, reported favorably the house bill to provide for the most urgent deficiencies in the ap- propriations for the service of the gov- enment for the fiseal year ending June 30, 1884, Placed on the calendar. Alli- son gave notico that ho would call it up to-morrow. The consideration of Blair's education bill was vesumed. Mr. Van Wyck (rep. Nebr.), inquired whether the ctivo Tranchise, made se cure to the colored people by the consti tutional amendment, even secured to th colored people the right that had been sought to be given them, Mr. Blair did not think it had, but one reason was that the colored people were not educated. He read from the inaugural address of President Garfield, in which it stated *‘The nation was re- sponsible for the freedom and enfran- chisement of the colored people, aud wae cqually responsible for seeing that they were prepared by education to exercise tho rights of freemon. A vote was taken on fngalls ment (made yestorday), specifying school ago. Lost. Plumb, (vep., Kan.), moved an amend- ment which would require that the soveral states should expend on education for the first five years of the operation of the bill smouuts “equal to the amounts received by them severally from the national fund, the provisions of the bill only requiring the expenditure by each stats for the period a sum equal to one- FORTY | third the sum to_bo received from the | mational fund, Thore was no pretouse. Wlumb suid, that Massachusetts, Counec- gicut or New York needed this money, &nd ho did ot think a state that did not provide for the education of its own poople would benefic by the fund provided foe 1t as by other perple. Reform in that divostion Bad to comefrom within, Mz, Hampton (dem., 8. C.) romark 4ol | that the southern states oxpended $7,. | 000,000 annually for public schools Mz Logan (rep., 11) said Ohio alone spent §7,000,000 anuually for its public schoals. Mr. Plumb (rep., Ks) objected to| illiteracy being made the basis for the distribution of the fund. That would out o presium on ignorance. 1t would he giving to & state suws of money not according to the number of persons it kept at sehool, but according to the num ber it did keep th Schaools should be wade a 1 affair; that was its proper place. Me, Plumb showed the great progress wude by his | own state under this plan. Mr. Garland (dem , Ark ) said ho felt uo uneasiness in voting for the Eill. Hg thought it a proper for the inter position of (he general government. Mr logalls (vop., Ks) oriticised the bill as defectivo inseveral particulars, My, Blair (rep., N. H.) said the sena- [l amend- tor was bringing microscopic and tele scopic examination to bear on it. Mr. Ingalls (rep., Ks.) thought the bill appropriating £105,000,000 might be | woll examined microscopically and tele- | scopically; also hereoscopieally and po- lariscopically, or by any other method | that could be applied. The amount was large enough to warrant it, Mr. Allison (rep., lowa) thought the bill proceeded on a wroug principle. It began by giving the first yoar a large ap- propriation and reducing it year by year. It should oegin with a small appropria- tion and increase it year by year, as nceded. Another objection was that it gave money to states that did not need it. Towa spent annually about £6,000,000 for its public schools, and did not need “‘F aid. Ho though those stateshavingt a large colored population should be helped to educate it. He had no doubt of the power of congress to give that help. But why give aid to Massachusetts or any other state that did not need it{ Al- lison also opposed any appropriation that would extend beyond one year, and the debate will bo resumed to-morrow. | Mr. Logan, (rep., 1iL) called up the | roport of the committee of conference on the military academy appropristion bill, and moved concurrence theroin, Agreed to. Adjourned, HOUSE, Immediately after the rending of the journal Mr. Turner (dem., Ga.) ealled up the Virginia contested clection case of Garrison against Mayo, The report de- clares the contestant, Garrison, entitled to a seat. Mayo, the sitting member, was hoard in his own behalf. At the conclusion of Garrison's speech, after fur- ther debate, a resolution declaring Gar- rison entitled to the seat was unanimous- ly adopted, and that gentleman appeared and took the oathof oftice. The house then went into committee of the whole on the bonded whisky bill, The military academy appropriation bill was passed. Objection was mado to the reference of the senato bill for the eradication of the foot and mcuth disease to the senate com- mittee, with leave to report at any time; 80 the bill will have to take the usual course. The house went into committee of the whole (Mr. Dorsheimer in the chair) on the bonded whisky extension bill, Mr. Willis (rep., Ky.) oxplained. its features, declering that a failure to pass the bill meant bankruptey and ruin, not only to many of the most important and influential firms in Kentucky and the west, but to manufacturers and_ innogent holders of whisky and many leading west- ern banks, The distillers were the only victims of special legislation in the land. Alcohol was the only taxable article un- der tho law that was compelled to pay tax before it roached the consumer, In the last thirty days there had heen a shrinkage of b conts per gallon in the price of whisky. There had peen a shrinkage in the price of grain and stocks in the last fow years amounting to billionse. There had been a_shrinkage of £60.000,000 in the value of warehoused whisky. Kngland was supplying hersolf with grain from India, and would be indepondent of the United States within three years What would become of the hundreds of millions of bushels of grain raised here which was now consumed in England. 1f this bill failed—if these distillories closed and demand a shut down, the time would come again when the farmers will burn corn for fuel. Mr. Blount (dem., Ga.) said the house was asked to extend the time for the payment of the tax on 70,000,000 gal- lons of whisky, amounting to $66,000,- 050. The existing depression was the result of over-production. He sympa- thized with the distillers, but oppased the billas a prinaiple of public policy. 1t was a proposition to lend the distillers Iit, NO. ¢ The time was not far distant when the country would be in a condition | to repeal the internal revenue taxes and auppose it should bo done in 1887, By that time the taxes on bonded whisky would, if the bill was passed, amount to $200,000,€00 and congress would be asked to grant a rebate of those taxes. Mr. Rees, (dem., Ga.,) regarded the bill as the worst specios of bad legisla- tion he had_ever known presonted to congress. The owners of whisky were 1o more entitled to reliof than any other class of speculators, Mr. Cox, (dem., N. Y.) delivered an elaborate speech on the general subject of the tariff and revenue laws. He sup- ported the Morrison bill, and admitted thero was some division in tho party on the question, but trusted they would be reconciled. Mr. Broadhead, (dem., Mo.) favored the bill.
