d SIXTEENTH] YEAR. A HOUSE THATIS NOT A HOUSE Peculiar Manner In Which the Commons Will Organize To-day. MOMENTOUS FOR MR.MATTHEWS The Gladstonian Fight—Three Vice- roys Honored By lreland-—-That Heidelberg Hurrah — Eng- land's Press on Tilden, Justin McCarthy's Letter, [Copyrighted.) \E GARDENS, THAMES Ev- sEA, LONDON, August 4.— New York Herald Cable—Special to the arliament meets to-morrow. We are a good long way oft yet from any real business. The first duty of parliament wilt be to elect a speaker. ‘Chis must be done be- fore the speaker or any member s sworn. Technically, a man is not a member of the house of commons until he has taken the oath and hi Therefore to-morrow the business will literally consist of a number of men not mewb.rs of the house of commons meeting-n that chamber and there electing a man who, like themseives, 18 not a member of the house, to preside over the debates of that house, There will be no opposition, it may bo taken for granted, to the re-elec- tion of ARTHUR PEEL AS SPEAKER. After his re-clection and the formal signi- fying of her majesty’s approval of 1t will begin the business of swearing in the mem- bers, the speaker himseif being the first man sworn. This swearing in will occupy some days, and in the meantime all the statesmen, » taken high office having by that fact ceased to represent th former con- stituents, have to seck re-clection, New writs have been moved for, and then the whole process of re-election has to be gone throngh overagain, Inone or two cases re- election is not by any means a mere formality v a foregone conclusion. There will d obstinate fight NRY MATTHEWS, the new home secretary, in East Birmingham, and it is not impossible that other ministers may be treated to a contest. All this will oe- cupy time, and it will be something like a fortnight before the house of commons gets toanything like work, What will that work be? Will there be a debate on the speech and an amendment to the address? In other words, will there be a debate on the home rule question? I am much ixclined to think there will in any case be sucha debate. I feel quite certain that if one will not him- self bring it up, some English RADICAL BELOW THE G will do so and will probably press it to a di- ion. 1 am not saying whether 1, myself, think it desirable or not, that some indepen- dent radieal should take this course. Iam only saying that most assuredly this course will ken. What Gladstonians of the inner cirele say is, that they do not see much use just now in ehallenging a division on the home rule question, which would merely re- peat and accentuate the decision given by the general elections, On the other hand, what GLADSTONIANS OF THE OUTER CIRCLE, andithe independent radicals “below the gang- way,” say, is that the sooner they force the secessionlst-liberals to declare themselves the better. Suppose, for example, an amendment to the address is proposed declaring that no setdement of the Irish question could be sat- isfactory which did not proceed on the lines of democratic legislation, how would the lib- eral-secessionists vote? Almost every man of them except Hartington, has declared agam and again in favor of the principle of home ryule. Would it not be well, some radicals argue, TO FORCE THESE MEN to be true to their words, or publicly to re- nouncethem. If they vote aganst such an amendment they declare against home rule of any kind. If they vote for it they declare agninst the comservative government and drive the first nail in_its coffin. Such is the argument of both sides. Igive no opinion of my own, forl am now talking only of what Englishmen propose to do or not to do. ‘The action, which the Irish party may de- clde on taking, or supporting, is not yet known, at all events not yet known to me, for I have not been able to leave London to attend the meeting of the party. IN DUBLIN TO-DAY, and if it were known to me I certainly would not prociaim it in advance from the house tops. ButIthink [ may venture to make a prophecy as to Gladstone. He comes back to lead the opposition only because he has nailed his home rule colors to the mast and is do- termined to fight for home rule as long as there is any fight in him and there is need of his hand in the bat- tle. 1If,bowever, the conservatives should make up their minds to offer a scheme of home rule, WIHICH IRELAND COULD ACCEPT, then Gladstone would consider himself re- leased from all necessity of remaining in public life, It is extremely unlikely that the tories will do anything of the kind just yet, “but if they do it to-morrow, Gladstone wjll glve up public life the day after. Iam as- sured there are some members of Salisbury's government who cherish the fond belief that Ireland and the Irish party are ready to ac- cept 80w poor erumbs in the shape of county government instead of any real home rule scheme, Some peovle ean get themselves to believo anything, Y ONE 18 TALKING ebout the splendid demonstration made in Dublin on the occasion of the departure ot Jord and Lady Aberdeen—Aberdeen, the third Irish viceroy ever honored by the Irish people with sueh evidenee of confidence and admiration. Lord Chesterfield was the first and Lord Fitz William the second. Chester- field was recalled because he was making himself too popular with the Irish people to please the English garrison and the ruling classes of Ireland. Fitz William was recalled because ho was endeavoring to bring about Catholic emancipaticn. Aberdeen is recallud because he has PROCLAIMED HIMSELYF A HOME RUT Each former recall brought about a crisis and the same result will probably be seen this time as well, The new viceroy, Lord Londonderry, and his wife, will have a cool raception from the Ieish people. Lord Lon- donderty, when Lord Castlereagh, promised, VAY Quring an election contest, to vow for an inquiry into the home il demand. We had only got to the length of asking an inquiry then, and b obtained the support of tho home rule part, 1 do not know whether any particular reli- ance can bo placed aow on any promise he may bhave made then. There are reasons, notof a political nature, whieh make one wonder why on earth the queen shonld have sent Lord and Lady Londonderry to Dublin to represent her, but on that subjeci I shall not further touch, Jusiix McCaxruy. THE HEIDULBERG CELEBRATION. The Five Hundredth Anniversary of Famous Colloge. HxoBLBERG, Aug. &—(New York Herald Gablo-Syecta! to We Bee.)~The kron prive arrived here at 8 o'clock this morning, and was received by the grand duke and duchess of Baden, his sister; General-Obernitz, com- mand the Fourteenth army corps, and a brill- iant knot of decorated officers of the Baden army, and Pro Rector Bekker and the faculty of theuniversity. The crowd wasso great that the Twin stations of the Main, Neckar & Baden railway were blocked. The corporn- tion of Heidelberg with Buorgermeister Weckens marched with a guard of honor composed of picked men of the Leib regi- ment, with a band. The two royal high- nesses embraced each other while the dense crowd rent the air with cheers, After ex- changing a few pleasant words with the offi- cers the kron prinz entered the royal carringe and was driven through the densely packed strests to the palace. After luncheon the kron prinz drove to the fest hall, and ex- pressed his great satisfaction at _the arrange- ment. To the committee he said it was the largest enclosed space of the kind he had ever scen. After religious eeremonies in the church of the Holy Ghost, THE EVENT OF THE DAY was a kind of reception in the hall of the university of the kron prinzand the guests by the grand duke. who s rector magnificent- issmo of the universil He began: “Durchlanchtegster, kron prinz, and honored guests—Wilen my exalted ancestor, the never to be forgotten Charles Frederick, in the days when the sword was the supreme arbiter, knowing well in his wisdom what holds the state together, infused mew life into this university, he declared that weshall ourselves and our descendants for all time be rectors of thisuniversity. In that capacity on this proud day, the five hundredth anni- versary of its foundation, I greet this noble assembly, which gives us the honor and pleasure of participating in the celebration, Especially gratifying is the grateful presence of his imperial highness, the erown prince of the German empire and kingdom of Prussia, the exalted representitive of our Emperor William, under whose glorious rule, and with whose gracious and active interest it is vouchsafed us to celebrate this day. And it is likewise a great satisfaction to us that his holiness, the pope, following in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor, has expressed his friendly interest by a costly gift of his- torical value.” Next thanking his sister universities for the expression of their sympathy and the numerous distinguished visitors for their presence, the grand duke drew an excellent picture of the great part taken by Heidelburg in the advance of knowledge, and concluded by saying: “May Ruperto Carolina, sup- ported by my house and worthy of its past be destined to a glorious future. So may it please God.” He then presented Geheim- rath Bekker. the pro rector, with a medallion and chain asa memento of the occasion. PROMOTIONS, The Carlsruher Zeitung announces a num- ber of promotions to the grade of geheim and hoprath. Professor Bunsen has been granted the grand cross of the hringer lion, Professors Kneis, Schulze and Gogen- bauer are made commanders of the same or- der. A number of crosses were distributed among other members of the ulty, while it is ordered that a number of Prussian crosses will find the same destination. I have just returned from the Schlossfest, which be- gan at 8 this evening, THE GLORIOUS FACADE, the finest relic of the seventeenth century in Yurope, lighted by thousands of red, yellow and white lamps, was & spectacle to be re- membered, About four thousand invitations were issued, but at least five or six thousand persons must have been wandering among the ruins. A powerful dynamo supplied power to hundreds of electric lamps. The kron prinzand grand duke and duchessarrived enrly and were most enthusiastically_received. After walking about the large court yard for some time and conversing in the pleasantest manner with a number of those present the kron prinzand hisroyal relations retired to thebandsalle, where they held a reception, the many hundred gentlemen who attended, being all in evening dress, and the ladies in light summer walking dresses. The band of the grand duke's grenadiers and that of the Darmstadt light horse played selections from opera and dance music, and wine, beer and light refreshments were served gratis, to an enormous crowd, at the expense of the muuicipality. The kron prinz, upon his ar- rival and dcparture, was cheered. Many of the corps of students wore even- ing dress, with handsome silk scarfs of their corps colors over their shoulders, The city of Heidelberg, with its thousands of lights re- fleeted in the waters of the Neckar, silvered by the new moon, formed an appropriate back ground.

BRITISH PRESS ON TILDEN, London Morning Papers Devote Lead- ers to His Carcer. LoNDox, August5, 4a. m.—[New York Her- ald Cable—Special to the Ber|—Ioteill- gence of the death of Mr. Tilden reached here in time for late specials last evening. The Standard and the Postare the only morn- ing papers that comment upon the event. ‘The foruier paper, AMong Many reweniscen- ces of Tilden’s career, says: *'Prior to 1870 Mr. Tilden was little known except as alocal politician and a man of large means, which were always at the disposal of the party man- agers. Even with standard bearers $0 stalwert as MeClellan, Seymour and Greeley, the demoecrats had been in a hopeless muncrity. Accordingly when Mr. Tildon was selceted torun against Mr, Hayes the battle was regarded little better than a forlorn hope. However, for the tirst time in half u generation, the party showed signs of resumiing its former supremacy.” After re- hearsing the *“fraud discussion,” the Stand- ard coneludes its leader thus: “It is, how- evor, unquestionable that the discovery of certain cipher telegrams by which an attempt to bribe the returning boards was brought to light did much to injure Mr, Tilden, though he is generally believed not to have been privy to these dtsgraceful intrigues, But the bad impression which the exposure created de- termined his party not to nominate him in 1880, In 1884 the again some talk of running him, but Mr. Tilden’s days were over. New men had arisen, and even his great wealth, when coupled with his advane- ing years, failed to aronse the enthusiasm of those who fought and won after half acen- tury of defeat.” A Tarter After a Turk. LONDON, Aug. 4. —Advices from Constan- tinople report an attempt to assassinate the grand vizier. That officlal was out driving Sunday aftornoon in Holilagha, and two shots were fired at him by a Tartar. Neither of the shots struck its mark. The assassian then pursued the carrlage with a drawn sword, with which he endeavored to strike the grand vizier, He was arrested and taken before the sultan at the Yildi Kiosk. To his majesty the Tarter deelared that the grand vizier had prevented him from securing jus- tice, and implored him to hang the vizer. Turkey is forming an additional army corps in Europe. Balfour's Speech on Ireland. LONDON, Aug. 4.—Much importance s at- tached to Balfour’s address to his constitu- entsas reflecting the views of Lord Salis- bury. Balfoursays: “The decisive verdict of the country on the Irish policy of Glad- stone makes 1t clear that a majority of the people are unalterably opposed to any loos- ening of the bonds kultting the unted king- dom. In spite of the additional difliculties with which Gladstone’s recent action has loaded on the already diflicult problem, the government will pursue the policy just to every Interest of Ireland and generous to avery legitimate Irish aspiration. The gov- ernment will be firm in the execution of the law, while striving to remove the chief evils which Ireland suffers. b S| A LITTLI TRICK EXPOSED. Why a Democratic Oandidate Wanted a Republican in Office. WASHINGTON, August 4,—The reportof the judiciary committee of the senate upon the nomination of Gustavus Vanhoorebeke to be district attorney for the southern district of 1llinols, vice James A. Connelly suspended, has been mahe publio. 1t says Conuelly, who filled the office from 1876 till the date of his suspension by President Cleveland, was a faithful and eflicient officer. Immediately after the last presidential election he an- nounced his determination to resign, but was induced to withhold his resjgnation by reason ot the political interests and conditions ex- isting in fllinols, An election for United States senator was pending and the contend- ing forces were about equally divided. *The belief was entertained,” the report continue: “by the democratic candidate that the resig: nation of Connelly would tend to compli- cate his chances for holding the united vote of his party continuously to himself. If Connelly should resign pending the senatorial contest his suc- cessor would have to be selected. everal persons had made known their determing: fon to be appointed for Connelly’s position on a change of the national administration. Iuseemed important to the democratic candi- date for the oftice of United States senator not to be forced to declare his choice in re- spect of who should succeed Conuelly. He caused a friend to_interview Cmmef)ly and endeavor to get him to withhold his resigna- tion until a determination of the senatorial contest could be reached. At first Connelly declined, but finally consented, with the dis- tinct understanding that whenever his resie- nation should be desired he would be notified in order that he might forward it and not be subject to suspension _or removal, There seems to no doubt of this definite understanding. It = was also agreed that the attorney general should be notilied of the arrangement, and he was informed of it.” The report proceeds to say that Senator Cullom called upon the attorney general in relation to this matter and that the nterview left no doubt In the Senator’s mind that Connelly would be notitied when his re- signation should be desired. On the 10th of June, 1885, Connelly received notice from the president that he was suspended, and on the same day a Chicago paper published a Wash- ington dispateh cmlmdfiung the substance of ot the report of J. \W. Bowman, an examiner of the department of justice, in which he manifested the partisan” spirit in which he had pursued the investigation of Connelly’s conduct in his office. The report states that the report of the special agent was filed in_the department of justice on the 24 of May, 1885; that It was inade in response to instructions given by the attorney general to the special examiner on April 16, 1555 that no notice was given to Connelly of i%s character, nor even of its cx- istence. Wiien it was communicated to the commlttee Connelly was informed of its char- acter and contents, “and,” the cominittee says “he has made answer 10 each and every fea- ture of it in such manner and effectiveness as to satisfy the committee that It is unfair, un- justand wntruthtul, and_ that it oughtnot, cither In its statements, or its conclusions, to be accepted as of any welght whatever against the general good repute of Connelly concerning his administration.” The com- mittee says in conclusion: “It may be a matter of curious inquiry why the attornev general should have allowed such a report to remain on the files of his department without notice to Connelly and without some reference fo it in the interview had with Senator Cul- lom in respect to the tesignation of the ac- cused officer. That such a state ot facts could exist anywhere is not easily believed, but that itshould be found in the department of jus- tice 18 a reproach to its name, and it seems to the committee that the demands of fair play and common justice require that the course pursued in this case should not receive the approval of the senate. Therefore the com- mittce, without intimating anything to hurt the nominee in this case, or remotely or othierwise suggesting that lie s not a it person to be intrusted with the responsible duties of the office to which he has been nominated, do recommend thut he be not confirmed.” When the nomination of Vanhoore 8 reached upon the ealendar it was passed over with the understanding that it should not again Do taken up, Sparks Inform WASHINGTON, August 4 —Acting Secre- tary of the Luterior Muldrow to-day trans- mitted to the senate a letter from the commis- sioner of the general land office in answer to the senate resolution calling for certain de- tatled information regarding the cancellation of lands patents “or fraud, The commis- sloner says that the practice pursued by the oftice in the canceliation of land entries for fraud has varied somewhat so 88 to render it nation called statement 1 fully cover the inquiry: Land entries neelled from 1854 to the present time on agents' reports, 751; on testimony taken at hearings, 125: for default of appearance at hearings, 230; for default of applieation for hearings, 118; relinquished after reports by special” Agonts, 145 fotal, a7, Held. for cancellation on ! reports, 2,235, and on testimony tak ing, 175, making the total nuniber of entries caneelied and held for cancellation, 4,78, Durl this period there were tmr%—fivu entries reinstated.

M. Tilden’s father was a thrifty merchant of New Leba- non, who, on ut of his integrity and kood sense, espeefally on political matters, was admitted to terms of intunacy with Mar- tin Van Buren, His mother wag® descended from William Jones, lieutenant governor of the colony of New Haven, and réputed to a son of Colanel Jobn Jones, one of the regi- cide of Charles 1., wi wife was a sister of Oliver Cromweil, In his eighteenth year Mr. Tilden entered Yale college where he pursued his studies with such indefatigable zeal that his health gave way,and he was compelled (o drop outof the course. - As soon #s Le bad sufticiently secovered he resumed a meeting of of the Tam- with ex-Congressman resolutions offered MORNING, AUGUST 5 his studies at the University of New York, where he was graduated in 184, He was then a young man of only twenty ¥ He sup- sequently read lew, and while a stodent in the office of John W, Edmunds in New York wrote several articles on the political sit tion. One of these was in defense of Presi- dent Van Buren’s policy. It caused consid- erable discussion In the newspaper world, especially €0 as the president was conjectured to have written it. 'As soon as he had been admitted to the bar Mr. Tilden opened an office of his own in Pine street in New York city. Although embarked i professional 1ife of a kind which called for the most ar- duons application, he did not lose his interest in politics, Hecontinued to express his opi- ions through the press, and occasionally spokeat political meetings. As soon as the presidential campaign of 1846 ‘In which ames K. Polk was a eandidate, had fairly ovened, Mr. Tilden founded the New York Daily News, in connection with John 0’Sul- livan, The following year he was sent to the assembly Trom the clty of New Y ork, And elected as a delegate to the convention which was to revise tne constitution of the state. The estraugement betweon the friends of Mr. Polk and Mr. Van Buren in conse quence of the elections of 1548 ecaused {r. Tilden to retire from polities —and continue his attention to the law, This was a fortunate move, without which his subse- quent success and’ fame as a lawyer could never have been achieved. e immediately began a serles of triumps at the bar which gave hiin great reputation. Among the more Jiotablo cases in which lie was successtal may be mentioned that of Flagg vs, Giles: Burdell vs, Cunninghiam, a famous wiil case, and that of the Pennsylvania Coal company vs. the Delaware & IHudson Coal company. It is no exaggeration to say that from 1855 up to the time he retired from professional life,one- half the great railway corporations north of the Ohio and between the Hudson and Mis- sissippi had been his clients. For some time preceding the war he was the confidential adviser of Dean Richmond, the leader of the 7 democratic party in the state of New York. York in He was _elected” governor of Ne 1874, and was nominate | to the presidencs 1870, 'The result of the clection being di puted led to the appolntment of the electoral commission, under whose decision the repub- lican caudidate was peacefully inaungurated. Since that time Mr. Tilden has lived in re- tirement, with the exception of an occasional appearance in public. Kansas Democrats Honor Tilden.

It is claimed that Mr. Adams and other friends of the Union Pacitic have bought control of the Orezon Transcontinental stock, which com- pany, it is well known, has always held a controlling interest in the Oregon zation company. This is now authoritively denied. Buteven presuming they have done so, it is difficult to see how that glters the situation very much. The Orezon Navigation line and the Oregon Short line are necessary to each other, and have been since their connection, and both sides were lad to make an equitable traflic arrangement which lias been long in existence with no vslum of beinz broken up. Tha Ufezon an,wlnn company has nearly 200 miles of ine, which was built to connect it with.the 0! iort line, and the only danger, was e gofitrol ' of the Oregon might pass into_hands inimical to the interest of the Union Pacific, in which event tlie Oregon Short line would be at a great disadvantage. This, however, seems to bea remote danger. 'Thiis control might render the Union Pacitic a little inde- pendent of the Central Pacile for other busi- ness than that to California, Naturally the building of the Cascade branch of the North- ern Pacific makes the Orezon Navigation company “tieup” a little closer to the Unien Pagific than before. Probably this is the only foundation for the story. BON T New York's Upper Ten on the Dcbtor List. NEw York, Aug. 4,—[Special Telegram to the BEE.]—Some weeks since C, F. Klunder, the society florist of New York, was com- pelled to make an assignment. Friends of his said at the time that the failure was solely due to his inability to collect bills of all amounts from many of the elite who had patronized him. It was sald at the time that Klunder sent a circular to all his bon ton debtors, notifying them that unless immedi- ate payments were made he would publish a complete list of the names, amounts and age of the bills. This created a great stir, and many, it is said, paid up their scores.

G. O. Haddock By Murderons Wretches. DETAILS OF THE DEVILISH ACT. The City Aroused Over the Killing— No Clue to the Perpetrators-- An Ountcome of the Fight Against Saloons, A Premeditated Murder, Stovx Crry, fa, August 4.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bek.|—The wildest excitement prevailed here all day over the cowardly as- sassination of Rev. George C. Haddock. The coroner’s inquest has been in progress all day with closed doors, as important developments are expected. The testimony of John Ryan indicates plainly that there was a conspiracy on the part of a large number of men to kill Mr. Haddock, and as soon as the deed was committed hurried from their hiding places and escaped in the darkness. One party asked at the barn and hotel near by whether the carringe lured by Mr. Haddock had re- turned yet, and the latter was undoubtedly apprehensive of danger, as he asked at the barn whether any one was laying for him. As is generally known, Rev. Mr, Haddock has been a leader in the temperance agitation hereand the movement to close up the sa- loons. Matters have been at fever heat for some time and his cowardly taking off last night is a sequel to the matter. Should the perpetrators of his foul murder be found they would not live an hour, so excited is the pub- lic. ‘The indignation meeting held to-night to take publicaction on the assassination was one of the largest attended and most deter- mined ever held here, Citizens of all parties, creeds and vationalities were present and gave expression to the most prononnced sen- {iments. Resolutions passed offer a large re- ward and also solicit the governor of the state to offer a state reward for the apprehen- sion of the murderer: also laying the crime at the door of the saloons, making that inter- est chargeable with it, and pledging all good citizens to support the movement to extermi- nate the saloons, gambling houses, ete.. and establish law. Never before was such a mect. ing held here, and its result must be most beneiicial. Seven leading citizens were ap- pointed on the part of the meeting to help ferret out the murderer and complete the en- forcement of the law. The Journal publishes the following ac- count of Mr. Haddoek’s assassination: Shortly after 10 o’clock last evening a pis- tol shot wa s heard in the vicinity of Fourth and Water streets, and in a few minutes a crowd of men might have been noticed athering in that vici rd_of quiry as to the brought forth th C. Haddoek had dead in the gutl crowd at the Academy of Music came out upon the street at the ‘end of the perform- ance there, and the news was spread with great rapidity throughout ~the city. sengers were at once sent for Coroner Conniff, but a_diligent search did not reveal his whercabouts for nearly two hours, when the body was examined, and by order of Mrs, Haddock, to whom the awful news had been conveyed in as cautioys @ manner a3 possl ble, was removed to the parsonage i shadow of the church where he has labored since e came to Sioux City lust October. Stories of the crime were many and coP- flicting, but from what could be ¥athered in the darkness and rain of midnight, it was ascertatned that about® o’elock p,’ m. Mr, Haddock and Rev. C. C. Turner procured a horse and buggy at Merrill’s livery stable for the purpose of driving to Greenville, east of the ciiy. They were absent just an hour, and at 10 o'clock Mr. Haddock “returned to the stable with the horse and busggy, being alone at that time. After delivering the i to the lostler, Mr. ~Haddock to go out of 'the stable, but noticing several men standinz on the side- he turned and asked Jarvis if ving for him,” laughing plea ked the question. Jarvis replied that he knew of no one who had any such intentions. At this Mr. Haddock started out over the crossing of Water street, a shot was heard, and he dropped his cane, and stazgering forward in a direction slightly south of east, fell on the walk as above stated. Juck Ryan was standing in the door of 0'Connell’s soloon when the shot was_fired, and saw Haddock, who was between himself and the gaslight, stagger toward the side- waik. Heatonce went to him, and although the wounded man breathed at least five min- s after ho fell, did notattempt to speak, Ryan gov some water and washed the blood from his face, and was there when the crowd began to col- lect, It is Mr. Ryan’s opinion that the party who fled the shot stood on the sidewalk just” below Fourth street and waited until gho unsuspeating victim was within twenty. five feet of him before he sent the leaden messenger on its errand of death, A fireman standing at one of the upper windows of the engine house says that he saw three persons on the e stood there watching the fla he noticed a man start acr when about half way saw somebody approach him from behind, and at that mo- ment hie heard a report and saw the flash of a pistol. He at once lighted a_lantern and vent out, tinding the body of Mr. Haddock 12 as above stated. After the shot he saw two men run south onWater strect and one go north, Charles Eberhardt, proprictor of the Colum bia house, says that limself and four other were sitting (n the hotel office, everythin being very quiet without. At about100'clock he was startled by a shot_in the street, and ng to the door saw parties running in both directions on Water street, and heard the footsteps of a man running across the bridge, ter the body had been taken to the house search for the wound was made, and it found that the ball entered on the left side of the meck, about three inche betow and & little back of the ear, and entirely through, comi o th right side.

Cn1cAGo, IIl, August 4.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bex.]—The crowd in attendance upon this, the fortieth day of the anarchist trial, wasas large as usual, every available seat in the courtroom being occupled. The jury and the prisoners look more and more, worn with each succeeding day. One of the singular teatures of the trial, for such an fw- portant one, is the fact that there has been no separation of witnesses. It has proved & very dangerous experiment leaving them ak large, listening to each other's evidence, and on the other hand to haye separated them would havebeen imvracticable. If one side had called for it, the other side would bave done 50, ana they would not only need to be locked up for weeks, but there would have bean no room in the bullding large onough to accommodate them. “I'he most important testimony of the ses sion was that given by two witnesses who swore they enfered the alley a few momenta. before the bomb exploded to light their pipes, This was offered to connteract the story re- lated by Gilmer that he saw Spiesin the alley and saw him strike a match and fire the fuse to the bomb which exploded among the police. While the defence has strenuously sought to show that Gilmer was not a credible witness, they have, by to-day's testimony, acknowledged that a match was struck in the alley at the precise time stated by Gilmer in his testimony. The latter de- clared that it fired the bomb, while the de- fense contend that it was to light two pipes. of tobacco. One of the witnesses who raid he was in the alley, named August Krummn, bears a resemblance to Spies, but could nok be mistaken for him by anyone looking at the man at all. closely. - Kruwin, oni the’ di rect-examination, said he was not a smhl\n‘la nor an anarchist, nora communist, and df “Hotknow any of thé'flvlfi:m“& He wfi’“ the Haymarket ineeting on thie 4th of May, It was a quarter to when he got theré, and the meeting was going on. ¥ there for some time listening to the speecls heand a friend went to the alley to ligh lllelrpl‘refi, He struck a match and lighted his, and then another for his friend.
