STATEMENTS OF THE MURDERER OF MRS.
HOBBS, INQUEST, &c.

HOBBS, INQUEST, &c.
BosToN, Aug. THE Jury of inquest in the
death of Mrs. Alvah Hobbs held their third
and last hearing this afternoon The verdict
VIII be rendered Monday morning. Four wit
nesses were examined. Mrs. Nellie Hopkins,
niece OF the deceased, whom she was visiting,
and resident of Philadelphia, testified to the
manner OF shooting substantially as previous
witnesses, as did also VIM. L. Bullock, q ply
stefan Of Providence, r. l., who was visiting
the family and who attended Mrs. Hobbs when
she was shot. Both these witness, IS testified
that the pistol shots were fred when the door
was shut and neither of them saw who fred it,
A third witness was Lieut.. Graves, who had
charge of the police station when White was
brought in, and he merely testified to that fact
Ger Ripley, who sat up all night watching the
prisoner. He conversed with him freely and
the result OF the conversation he made memo
randa of as follows:
White was much excited when brought in,
and expressed regret that he had not killed
himself Shortly after he was locked up an
onicer came in and said he (White) ought 10
be hung; White was angry at that and said it
was cowordly; but when the question was
asked ii 1t was not more cowardly to draw q
pistol and proceed TO fire away at a defenceless
woman until she was killed? he buried his
face in his hands and said nothing. His shawl
and military overcoat were brought to him /;
when he took the coat he held it up, and, look
ing at IL, SAID II would have been better if he
had been killed while he wore that said that
he ought to have gone away in the afternoon
as he said he intended to, but something deter
red him and he concluded to wait until the
next day. During the night he was restless
and I asked him if he could not sleep? He
said o, no, there is is no sleep for the wicked |;
there is no more sleep for me. He said if he
was the only one to suffer it would not be so
bad. I made the remark that the little boy
was almost frantic with grief he replied, o,
he is young, there are others who will suffer
more. Some person in TO see him used the
term fact" in referring to the murder he
said he hoped it was not an accomplished fact.
Shortly after this he inquired ii she was dead.
L replied that did not know, and if did
that perhaps should not be permitted to tell
it, He replied, that is right, do not tell me
anything you have not permission to. He
wanted TO 60 to the captains room and write q
note to the person who had his funds. He also
talked to me about his counsel and said he
would like to have Chas. l.. Lincoln. He also
said he would like to see Mr.. Burt, Postmaster
OF Boston, and that perhaps it would be better
not to talk about his defence. During the
night ne also muttered to himself something
about his being yesterday an honest man and
now the occupant of feion's cell.
This closes the testimony: ''

THE GREAT INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE.

+
LONDON, Aug. 8.-The Saturday Review, in
an article on the approaching international
boat race, says:-If Harvard can show any
thing in rowing we shall be glad to see it. If
she proves able to relieve the mopotony OF Ok
fords success we think Oxford herself will be
grateful for it. The resolution to surrender
the pqculiarities Of our system and accept the
only conditions under which it was possible to
make match cannot be estimated too highly.
At the same time the Harvards made great
concession in taking coxswain, and the bold
ness with which they challenged the Oxfords
on their own grounds deserves sympathy and
admiration. The writer concludes by hoping
that the treatment of the American boatrnen
during their visit will be such as to encourage
its repetition.
The Harvard boat was out for practice at
Putney yesterday with Lyman Faye, the re-
lief who late arrived from New York The
Oxfords are making good practice daily under
Pangbourne. Notwithstanding, previous re-
ports to the contrary, the date Of the race has,
not been finally decided upon.

Elements on the Red River Of
the North, each drawn by n
single OK harnessed to The cart
with pieces OF raw hide. These
carts are of the primitive or

cessions of from fifty to one
hundred carts. They are half
breeds. The noise Of the creak.
ing of the ungreased wooden
wheels may be heard far across

like the wailing of the dying
on a field of battle. Many Of
them mako a journey of 500
miles to reach st. Cloud, going
about fifteen miles a day"
