Hazleton, Pa, April 1.-The excite
ment at Upper Lehigh, yesterday,
during the raid of the miners, was in
tense; there was perfect reign of
terror. 1t seems they divided their
forces before entering the town, some
coming in at the east end and some
from the west end. Shots were fired
ndiscriminately, Many of the rioters
were intoxicated and went through
the hotel, endeavoring to force the
landlord and boarders to join them
Some of the inmates took refuge in
the cellar, while others escaped
through the back doors. The COM
panY's store was attacked and shots
fired into the building, but the super
intendent and clerks escaped. Per
SONS riding along the highway were
stopped and fired upon when they
refused 10 join the rioters.
Riots are reported at Ashland, with
the loss of several lives. All quiet
here this morning.

Salt Lake City, April I'm the
trial of George Reynolds for poIygamy,
the defense admitted the first mar
riage, and the second wife swore she
was married to defendant in August
last. Mayor Wells stated that he
performed the last marriage. The de-
fense admitted the last marriage The
jury, which is composed of mormons
and non-mormons, was then charged
by Judge Emerson, who quoted the
law of 1862, and said religious belief
had nothing to do with the case, and
that the law was constitutional. The
jury, in half an hour, brought in a
verdict of guilty. The defense moved
to set aside the verdict for the reason
that the defendant had never been
arraigned and asked to plead, and
never had the indictment read to him,
which appearing to the satisfaction Of
the court, the motion to set aside was
granted. Afterwards, the defense
waived a new trial with the view of
taking the case to the Supreme Court.
The defendant was afterwards ar
raigned and pleaded not guilty, and
was set at liberty after giving $4,000
bail. 1t is expected that the trial of
George Q. Cannon, for polygamy,
will commence tomorrow.

Chicago, April IA Washington
special says the government officials
have been giving very close attention
to the reports of Mexican outrages,
and are of the opinion that they are
greatly exaggerated; it is thought
they originate with speculative con-
tractors, who desire war, and with
ranchmen, who want to create SEN
timent in favor of the payment of the
Mexican claims.

the rest of the days session lie sat
there unchanged, unaffected, and up-
parcutly as cool rs If in his lecture
room. Nisihly, he was the least af-
fccte,l man in the room. His manner
was entirely unconstraiurd. He sat
most Of the time with the two middle
fingers OF his right hand thrust in his
vest. Once, when he had occasion to
look for some memorandum book, the
officers behind him offered to relieve
him of his cloak. and hc surrendered
it with " thank you.n Heswas per-
fectly at case. The reporters looked
in vain for those minute evidences OF
nervousness, which the readers arc
always glad TO have described. Dur
ing the examination his eXubcrant
humor cropped out several times.
Once, when asked il he had not writ
ten n great many letters, he smiled and
hcsitatcd n second or two, before ans
wering: should say not, if | should
judge from my impression. but if they
should begin to hunt over my letters,
l presume it would be found 1 had. 4"
Again lie was asked if his first pub
lie discussion with TiIton had not
been marked by considerable antagon-
ism and asperity in the expression OF
their views. We answered, Nothing
transcended what see here in court"
Even Beach unbent at this and smiled
with the Beecher party, the rest of the
plaintiffs counsel sat gloomy, silent
and stern, rs they had done all day,
taking their cue from Tilton and
Moulton, but lest it be imagined that
the witnesses manner was trivial, it
should be added that these incidents
occurred during the carly part OF the
examination, when the questions
were about trivial matters. Once,
when questioned about his carly feel
ing for Tiltom, he said, 1T was COM
mon emplOymcnts, companionship
and downright love on my part, =" and
as he spoke the last words he glanced,
for the first time, at TIiton. Still
later IN the morning, he cvinced more
feeling when questioned in regard to
the occasion Of the service rendered to
his son in the army by Tilton, he said,
He was doing me little kindnesses
that were very agreeable to me, but
there was one that stood beyond all
others, and was very, especially valu-
able to me-" After the word livery"
there was long pause, the word stuck
in the witnesses throat. and il WAS
only with the greatest effort he CON
cealcd the strong emotion which he
felt, and only the closest observers and
those very near to him knew that he
was keeping back tears. On another
occasion lie was long time getting
the control Of his voice, Sc rs to
answer clearly the question rs to the
number of his children, in the words
-Four with me and live waiting for
me-
