band, was commenced to-day. DR.. &. l.. Shell
ton of Huntington was the first one called. He
testified that he was present at the post norton

prepared and given to him, he was seized with
an intense burning in the stomach, and then
tainted, She thought it was very peculiar She
had never seen a cup Of tea affect any one in
such a manner before,
The admissibility Of certain evidence was then
argued as to the disposition of the property.
This consumed the morning.

crossseXamination Of the mother Of the deceased
This was very short; and the next witness called
was the servant girl, Ellen Harrington. Her
testimony was that Mr. and Mrs, Sherman were
kind to each other hut had not slept together

The next witness, &. H. Peck of Birmingham
produced sensation in court by testying that
Mrs, Sherman bought arsenic at his store about

said she wanted il TO kill rats with. Mrs. Sher-
man had confessed this to the sheriff who arrest

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April Is.
An "ENTERING WEDGE"
The senate committee on appropriations has
put an amendment upon the naval appropria-
ton bill repeating the eight hour law 1t is
thought that il may pass the senate and it is
intended as the entering wedge to repeal the
law with reference to all the government work
shops. There is no danger of its passing
the house, for political reasons alone will prevent
it.
THE COMMITTEE OF ELECTIONS
Heard arguments this morning upon the appli-
cation for an extension of time in, the case of
Bowen VS.. Delarge from South Carolina. Buttz,
Delarges lawyer, who perloined his evidence,
was present and exhibited some the testimony.
No decision was reached ON the motion, but the
chairman was instructed to report the facts re-
speeding Buttz's seizure of Delarge's testimony
TO the house; and it is generally understood
that if ii is not surrendered Buttz will be i'm
prisoned for contempt. Take it altogether, the
case is dirty one, but the house, sooner or
later, will be compelled to decide whether or
not Bowen is entitled to the seat.
THE DEBATE ON CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
| In the house, opened rather dull, but was more
interesting towards the close. Mr.. Sargent OF
California made speech squarely against the
bill before the house and the presidents scheme
for reform. His old fashioned democratic doctrine
thar the offices belong to the majority was very
kindly received by n large number of democrats
and republicans. Mr. Buffers speech was in
genius and somewhat forcible and it was listened
TO closely to the end. He ntimated that the rules
just put forth by the commission, and in fact
the whole scheme, was distasteu to the presi-
| dent; that he had been forced into position on
the subject he did not like. Mr.. Garfield wanted
| to know if he said that on the authority of the
| president and he did not reply. The fact is,
| that nobody has any authority to 90 behind The
presidents official statement on the subject nor
| is there any reason to believe him insincere in
his professions Those republicans opposing
civil service reform are quite sensitive over the
fact that the president is openly committed to
the plan they scOf at; and this was manifest
through the discussion to-day.
