New YoBK, May 1O.-Brooklyn city
courtroom was crowded this morning.
The first witness recalled by plaintiffs
counsel was George A. Bell, whose testi-
mOny was unimpOrtant, as was also that Of
Lewis ]. James. jeremiah P. Robinson,
uncle of Mrs. MOultOn, was then called to
testify that his niece had narrated 10 him
the Afghan interview with Beecher shortly
after its occurrence, and thus prove il vas
not fabrication OF counsel. Evarts OBJ
jected and Gen. Pryor argued for its ad-
mission. While at the height Of his argu-
ment Pryor stopped suddenly and said, ''If
your Honor will pardon me a moment, l
have an attack Of vertigo and then sank
down in his chair. The windows were
thrown open and in few minutes Pryor
had recovered, and rising, said be thought
he had made q clear case, and
was about to continue, but was
again overcome and had to sit down. II
was suggested that a recess should be taken
half an hour before the usual time, but to
this Pryor demurred and rose again, con-
tinUing his argument for some time, but
closing suddenly saying that he was unable
to continue. Gen. Pryor leaning on the
arm Of a friend, then left the court room,
to seek the fresh aud pure air outside.
Mr.. Evarts was interrupted in his re-
spOnse by the hOUr for recess.
After recess, Pryor being still ab-
sent, Fullerton made replication to Evarts,
but Judge Nelson ruled out the testimony
as being intended to clear Mrs. MOult0n,
who was not on trial. Beach noted an ex-

COLUMBUS, o., May 10.-The cOlored
residents of Long street were thrown into
a SEA of excitement this evening, by the
report Of a murder and suicide in their
midst. Hundreds of terrOr-stricken people
gathered about the scene of the murder,
making it almost impossible to gather the
particulars of the tragedy. The facts in
the case are these
About year ago young cOlOred man
named Wyatt Flowers shot and wounded
his white mistress and was sentenced to the
penitentiary for one year. During his i'm
prisOnment be manifested signs of insanity,
once attempting to kill himself. Upon his
release he was sent to the lunatic asylum,
from which he was irecently released as
cured. Since his release he has lived with
his aunt. Mrs. Mary Childs, on
Longstreet. Tonight while at supper a tri-
vial misunderstanding arose, when Flowers
made threats OF revenge. When his
aunt became alarmed and started to call
help, Flowers followed her and shot her
with his pistol. He then drew razor and
cut two terrible gashes across her head,
and then across her stomach, causing her
intestines to fall out and run upon the
ground. He then ran into the house, re-
loaded his pistol and shot himself in the
right temple, the bullet lodging in his
brain. Flowers died soon after in great
agony. 1t is hardly possible the woman
can survive, but she is alive at this hour.

HOW HE HELFED TO PAY THE DOG
TAX.
Chattanooga Commercial.


OF the many measures passed by our
LEGISLATURE, there was none so unpopular
or more universally denounced than the
dog law in this section. To illustrate:
Recently a merchant doing business not
a hundred miles from Pickles Landing,
who is one Of the few who believe il good
law. being belated in iOUTneying through
the Tenth District. took lodging with Mr..
John Hacker, one Of the many substan-
tai and well-tO-dO farmers Of that section,
who is the fortunate or unfortunate posses
sor Of a half dozen dogs, more or less. The
friend Of the unpopular measure had
scarcely been seated when the host referred
to the dog law, taking occasion to denOunce
il in unueasured terms. But much to his
astonishment he soon learned that his
guest favored the law, and the question
was warmly discussed between them until
bed time. Next morning the dog law
champion prepared to resume his journey,
and asked his host for his bill. All who
know Hacker are aware that he Is q man
Of few words and in nOWise giving to jOk-
ing, and it was nothing but his indignation
a. the law and disgust Of its advocates, that
prompted the reply: Il have lived at this
place for many years, and during that time
have entertained q great many people, and
have vet to charge any man cent, but as
1 have several dogs and you so warmly ap-
prove Of the dog law, will let you pay for
one of them.7 The dollar was paid and
the merchant departed . wiser and poorer
man.

CARDINAL MANNING AND THE

London Correspondence Of Cincinnati Com
mercial.
1 have Just heard rumor which can only
be described as exquisite. It is said that
Disraeli has been searching about for a
new sensation, and has found it in a
scheme Of raising Cardinal Manning to a
seat in the House of Lords, That
he has seriously prOpounded this coup
to his party comrades, as means
of at once cOnciliatiDg Ireland, dish
ing the Liberals, and startling
the world, has been affirmed in my ear by
an able Tory member Of Parliament. If
Disrael does that, it is because he expects
a speedy departure to that bourne from
which no traveller has returned The bold
est medium would Tot induce him to ma
terialize in the neirhbOghOli after that.
There is no doubt that the feeling in this
country about His Emineuce-that, l be-
lieve, is the right designatiOn-is sore.
There is a feeling that the Catholics got

COMMISSION MERCHANT.

GladstOne's case has subsided, and the
Catholics have ended it with the grand
tableau seen last Tuesday at Canterbury.
The expected continental bishops were, in
deed, absent from the conservation of the
new church Of st. Thomas a'Becket; but
the occasion was none the less improved by
the new cardinal. He proclaimed that the
new church stood there to support
and represent the principles for which
St. Thomas aBecket died" The audac-
ity Of this is admirable. Here is a
man set up by an ecclesiastical
government as a prince representing a
rival power to that Of the head Of the
English church, namely, the queen. He
begins his princely career by adopting aud
republishing the principles Of the p-ela'a
who first defied the English throne. 1t is
as if he had cynically showed Gladstone
aside as one who did not half state his
own case. Gladstone is eclipsed. But
would it not be interesting to see a repre-
sentative Of ecclesiastical supremacy in the
case Of Pius vs.. Victoria, seated in her
maiesty's house Of peers ?

LONDON, May 10.-This mornings Tele-

to conceal that the continental situation
wears this morning the very gravest aspect.
If We were to say that the question Of the

we would scacely go beyond the facts. The
tendency at this hour is decidedly pacific.
Other London journals likewise COM
ment on the meeting, but the thought Of
war is generally discredited.

Government positively eonuadlcts the

Congressman Wheeler Declares the
Adjustment a Success-The Reseat-
ing OF the Four Democrats an Act Of
Simple Justice.
NEW YORK, May 10.-HOn. William A.
Wheeler, of the Louisiana Congressional
Committee, has addressed a letter to the
Times and in answer TO the question, Is the
Louisiana adjustment a success or failure,
writes:
81 firmly believe that Louisiana has at
last caught inspiration from the new order
of things, and that, exhausted as she is,
with tumult and violence, yet with a just
government and the education other people,
the last just now her greatest need, she will
advance with steady but slow pace, from
what seemed to be her utterly helpless con-
dition."
In regard to the reseating of the four
Democrats in the House of Representatives
Mr.. Wheeler says: "NO one can be found
in Louisiana. TO assert that at the time these
four Democrats were Unseated there was a
quorum Of the House present. So these
four Democrats had never been legally de-
prtved Of their seats. Being legally entitled
to their seats and having done nothing to
forfeit them, their reinstatement was an act
of simple justice which all fully understard d
ing the facts must approve"

BUSINESS DEPREss ION IN EUROPE

Accounts from Berlin, Vienna and
other cities represent that business still
continues to be very much depressed.
In some branches Of industry there is
an improvement, but the great manu-
factories are still very low, and the
working classes suffer from the conse-
quences of this fact, as well as from the
tardyarrival of spring. Thus, the large
steel mandatory of Krupp, in Essen,
was obliged to dismiss some thousand
workmen, and the largest mandatory
Of engines, that Of BOrsig, In Berlin, has
met with similar fate. A week ago
the largest Austrian mandatory Of
engines, Sigl, announced the dismissal
Of 1000 workmen, because 1t had
neither sufficient orders nor sufficient
working capital. This latter danger
has been happily surmounted by the
aid of the Government on a petition
backed by the Lower Austrian Land
tag. That the great mandatory
might have work to do, the Govern
ment caused some railway companies,
whose rolling stock is somewhat de-
fective, to give it extensive orders.
