PrTrsBURGH, October 15.-Hon. Geo.
Lear, Attorney General OF the comuon-
wealth, appeared in the Criminal Court
before Judge kirkpatrick this morning,
the hour ot 10 o'clock having been fixed
for the hearing which will justify the
refusal to appear before the grand jury
now sitting, TO whom special authority
was granted by the court to investigate
fully the causes which led TO the riot
and destruction Of property. Among
other witnesses summoned were Gov.
HartrAnft, Adj. Gen. Latta, Maj.
General Brinton and Major Morris, Of
the Governors staff. These gentlemen
neglected TO respond, whereupon the
grand jury made special presenlment to
the court, stating their position and call
ing upon the court 10 enforce their ap-
pearance BY legal process. The Attorney
General requested a hearing before the
attachment rhould issue, hoping to con-
vince the court that there is no power
to compel them to appear, because they
are privileged from disclosing State
secrets. In Mr.. Lear's answer to
the grand jury, he sets forth that Gov.
Hartrantt ct al, have no knowledge OF
the late troubles in this county other than
what they learned in their military and
official capacity, which are privileged
communications, and the publication OF
which would be detrimental to the States
interests; and he AYERS that, having on
behalf Of the commonwealth examined
severally each Of the officers, he
ia satisfied that the best interests
OF the State will be subserved by their ab.
sence. He also points out the disordered
condition Of society in the anthracite re.
gions as a further reason why the Gov.
ernor should not be called from the Cap.
ital. Al the conclusion Of Mr.. LeaE's
remalk Ks, the Court announced that it
would hold the matter under adviseuent
for the present.

strue TO mean the permanent occupation
ot that country. Though the force al
Qnetta was only sent avowedly as an
Escort to the British resident agent, yet
the Viceroy declares that its maintenance
there Is necessary measure OF the i'm
perial policy. The Ameer Of Afghanistan
is negotiating with the Kelat and Bel,
ooGhee chiefs for the forcible expulsion
Ot the British, for which he offers his help
and warns the Khan that their continued
presence means eventual absorption.
The Hungarian invasion Of Roumania
is positively declared hoax.
The Roumanians assert that deserters
from Plevna report that Oman Pasha'4
army ia destitute OF clothing and ammu-
ton and .cantlly provisioned. The army
is tired Of fighting and suffering, and il
disposed to surrender.

A Duel Across the Dinner Table
THE Participants aud the
wife of One al Them Badly
Carved.
BALTIMORE, Mo, October 4,--A duel
with knives wAs fought over the table of
John ODonnell, in East Baltimore, this
afternoon. John GateIy, who had for.
merly been a boarder at O'Donnell's
house, had, il is charged, been somewhat
attentive to his wife, Isabella. When be
called TO pay social visit to-day, how.
ever, he was cordially received, and the
three dined pleasantly together. Liquors
were introduced at the close Of the iestiv.
tiles, and both men become partly intoxi.
Gated, and began quarreling.
Visions Of the green eyed monster, it
is supposed, fitted across the distorted
vision Of O'Donnell, and he forthwith
seized knife from among the debris Of
the dining.tabIe and proceeded to carve
up Gately. The latter also picked up a
carver, and the two men began thrilling
duel over the table. After some passes
with the weapons, O'Donnell sIashed
Gately across the right arm, cutting it
clean to the bone, and causing a gash
several inches in length. Gately retail.
ated by plunging the blade OF his wea pom,
the end Of which had been broken of,
into the abdomen Of his adversary, pro.
ducing terrible wound. Blood stream.
ed from the wounds, covering the table
and floor, and presenting Sickening
spectacle
Mrs. O'Donnell, alter recovering from
her alarm, appealed to the dnelIstJ TO
desis;, bnt finding that they paid no atten.
tion 10 her request, she sPrang between
them and received on her right arm a blow
aimed at Gately BY her husband, ripping
up the flesh to the bone in shocking
manner. Persons we're by this time al.
tracted and the men separated. Physi.
clans dressed their wounds, after which
they we're placed under security to answer
before the Criminal Court. O'Donnell
may die. The room in which the san.
culinary encounter occurred rcsembled

sTocHs-1he general market was weak
in the early dealings, when prices fell Y
TO 2% per cent, but subsequently became
frmer and advanced 4 to az per c. Mt
These remarks do not apply 10 Michigan
Central, which was the feature OF the list,
rising AZ, to 74I{. This advance took
place shortly after the opening when the
market was weak and declining. Later
there was break in the stock to 5llf
which was followed by an advance to Il
and a reaction TO 73H. These wide ituctu.
atoms were attended with some excitement
at intervals and gave rise to no little gossip,
several operators being named as havinS
been short. Coal stocks were next in
point of interest to Michigan Central
and passed through some freq aent changes.
There was decided change In the temper
0i speculation during tie last hour OF bust.
ness, and instead OF u strong and buOyant
tone, weakness and lower prices prevailed.
Michigan Central declined AZ per cent to
69AI and the general list reacted 4 tolk
per cent from the highest point. The sharp
twist in Michigan Central caused many Of
the shorts to close up outstanding con.
tracts, and hence the drop ia price. At
the close as high as 4 per cent per diem
was paid for use OF stock. TIE rise in coal
stocks was engineered to squeeze the bears,

General Grant is not so taciturn at all

Mr.. Vanderbilt, who died the other day,
worth Sls,000,0O0, he said, could neither
read nor write, yet he was to look at a
most polished gentleman. His chief plea.
surcS were trotling-horses and whist.
He would think nothing OF stalking $500

10 keep away the boys His son, who
has inherited this colossal fortune, is .
comparative miser. Leaving him out,
the four wealthiest men in America at

Catholics. They have got all the silver
mines in their hAuds, and no one can tell
