who KILLED Fisk ?


NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Among the wit
nesses in the Stokes case to-day, to testify
to the mental condition of the prisoner, was
w. F. G. Shanks, an editor Of the Tribune,
who was brought from prison in Brooklyn.
He said Stokes had told him that Fisk had
put q price on his (Stokeso head and that
two men were after him, and that he car
ried pistol for his protec ion. Other evi-
dence was given going to show that Stokes
believed Fisk or some of his followers
would shoot him.
William A. Champion, Professor Of
Msteria Medica in the University, gave it
as his opinion that Fisk died from the
effects of the drugs administered after he
was shot.
After recess Stokes was placed on the
stand, ard testified as to business relations
between himself and Fisk. He related the
circumstances of his visit to the Grand
Central Hotel and described the encounter
with Fisk. The latter, be said, came up
stairs with pistol held in both hands,
cooking it as he came. He shouted to Fisk
not to shoot, and then himself fired two
shots with a pistol in his gloved
Rand, then dropped the weapon. He
described the arrest, and says the
evidence of the boy Hart is en-
tirely manufactured. His testimony is
substantially the same as already pablished.
A slight passage at arms occurred between
Mr.. Tremaine, of Stokes counsel, the
District Attorney and Judge Davis, On ac-
count of suggestion by Tremaine to wit
ness. The District Attorney objected to
counsel putting words in the witness
mouth. The Judge sustained the District
Attorney. On the conclusion Of Stokes
examination, court adjourned.

Rosa Lusignsn was a dark, hut dazzling
beauty, with coal-blsck hair and glorious
dark eyes, that seemed to beam with soul
all day long; her eyebrows, black, straight
ish and rather thick, would have been ma
iestic and rather severe had the other
features followed suit; but her black broWs
were succeeded By long, silky lashes, 2
sweet oval face, two pouting lips studded
with ivory, and an exquisite chin, as feeble
az any man could desire in the partner OF
bis bosom. Person straight, elastic and
rather tall. Mind, nineteen. Accomplish
ments, numerous. A poor French scholar,
8 worse German, q worse English; an ad-
mirable dancer, an inaccurate musician, q
good rider, 3 bad draugttswomsni bad
hairdresser, at the mercy of her maid; bot

Debate on the transportation cues
tOn-VarYing Views.
CHICAGO, Oct. 24-The Farmers Con-
vention this morning appointed committee
to meet the Congressional Transportation
Committee OF st, Louis; also a committee
on railroad law. Addresses on the subject
of railroad legislation were made py w. Z.
Flogg, NJ. M. Hsldan. A genetal discus
sion followed on the question OF water
transportation.
The consideration of the report of the
{ ommittee on Resolutions was resumed.
They first requests Congress to tix maxi
mum freight and passenger law, regulating
traffic between the States and the Legisla-
lures to pass laws regulating the same in
the States, and protests against subsidies to
any private corporation. Adopted without
debate.
Water Routes.
The second requesting Congress to
speedily take measures to open water ronte5
from the Mississippi to the seaDoard
elected long discussion. A substitute was
offered asking Congress to establish water
routes along the Mississippi to the seaboard,
and after long debate was laid on the
table By vote of "a to %. Discussion fol-
lowed on the general subjects of railway
and water transportation, and there was an
almost unaBimous expression that the gov
eminent should do something to afford aid
and relief to the producing classes, but
| minority opposed asking any government
| aid, only asking that the government cease
to leeislase against them. The convention
was nearly evenly divided in partisiity for
| a canal route from the st. Lawrence river
| to the Atlantic, and the improvement Of the
| Mississippi route to the Gulf.
Mr.. Boone, of Jo Davies county, offered
| ss q substitute for the second resolution |:
| We demand the construction OF railroads
and the improvement of water communica-
| tions batween the interior of the seabosrd,
| the same to be owned and operated by the
general government for the purpose OF
sffording cheap and ample transportation,
and to protect the people from the exaciions
of monopolies.
seIf-Dependence.
The remaining resolutions encouraging
home manufactures, that farmers keep
| clear of debt SO that they may be prepared
for the coming struggle; protesting against
| all special legislation of protection for any
| industry and recommending further farm
| ers' ORGANIZATIONS, were adopted.
FIagQ, of Illinois, offered q resolution
| authorizing the officers of this convention
to appoint National aud State Committees
to urge Congress and the Legislatures for
efficient legislation for controlling railway
and other transportation companies.
Adopted.
