MITCHELL ATKINSON testified to wha,
Gregg had said in Hodges store shortly
after the shooting-after he had washed

knife and wouldn't amount to much he
said he was reaching out to catch Roe
by the throat when the pistol went off
Gregg raised his arm while telling it and
clutched his fingers.
CHRISTIAN KRoNINa and JACOB CAR

conversation
CLARENCE BRUmGEI. gave somewhat
different version Of the conversation
Gregg said he had met Roe and asked
him about the dogs, and one wore

The Roumanians appear to have very
generous idea Of neutrality, which must be
as disgusting to Turkey rs it will be delight
full to Russia BY the terms of their con-
vention with the Russians, they give the
army free passage aud friendly treatment /;
the use of tho Roumanian roads, railroads,
rivers, and telegraphs the resources Of the
country for the supply Of the army; the
assistance Of the Roumanians in erecting
camps and forwarding baggage; the right Of
way to Russian trains and dispatches; au-
thority to complete unfinished railways the
establishment Of military stations and hos
pitals; the provision by Roumania of mate
rial for the construction of boats, ships, and
bridges and the admission of articles for
the army froe Of duty. In other words, the
Roumanian neutrality consists Of giving the
Russians the run of the whole house and
turning into the kitchen to help them. The
reason assigned for not concluding conven-
ion with the Porte, because it had trans
ferred the seat of war to Roumania, is quite
as amusing as the neutrality given to Russia,
the Russians having gone into Roumania
before the Turks. The real meaning Of the
convention with Russia, Of course, is m
alliance sooner or later for actual war pur-
poses.

PARK PETITION.

CntcAeo, April 30.-The dispatch from Spring

that petition signed by some 600 persons asking
that the South Park law bc SO amended as to re-
peal the present mode Of appointing South Park
Commissioners. and provide for their appointment
by the Governor, mad been presented to the House,
only shows that the parties who have been nsging
the investigation and acting prosecutors have in
their anxiety forgotten, nrc mot sensible of the
proprfciies which common deccncy demantlB
The fact that lhe Legislature h:s appointed q
that the Committee have spent solnc four weeks III
the discharge Of that duty, and now about pre-
paring thcfr report would, 10 the mind Of anY
thoughtful person. suggest the impropriety OF at-
tempting to take matter ont Of their hands prior to
tlesr report being submitted to the Legislature.
The position ~ reported taken by Mr. Trucsdel1
nt the time the petition offered what might
have been expected from gentleman OF learning
and utility, and the rebukc he gave was justly,
n,eritcd.
The unscemly haste was In all probability due to
the fact that the parties had knowledge of the iarge
petition that had been signed by prominent citizens
and taxpayers protesting against any such change
in the law which IL now waiting for the report ct
the C1nn1ttee to be made, aud is to be then prc1
sented in support OF sucl report, If the Commit
tee do not make the recommendation for change
the wish Of the petitioners in ca.e such change y
recommended. This attempt to frustrate the Com
ittec is simply another instance Of the utter lack
OF decency upon the part Of thosc who. for per.
Bonal motives, nre cndeavoriny to use the public
credit in support OF their designs, and has met
with jnst and merited rebuke at the hsnds of Mr.

One hundred and twenty thousand Rus.
sians have crossed the Roumanian border,
and arc making their why slowly toward the
Danube. The invaders are said to be
bridging this stream at Ibrail. The river
is becoming moro and more unsnfe
for navigation by gunboats, the Rus
SLAMS having planted heavy artillery at
points along its banks, and the liberal use of
torpedoes is strongly stspectedby the Turks.
In consequence Of these facts most of the
Turkish gunboats are working their way to-
ward the Black Sea, where they Will
most likely be employed in the in
tended bombardment Of certain Rus
sian ports. Brief mention is made in the
dispatches of battle before Kars, where
considerable forces, both Russian and Turk
ish. have recently been concentrated. It is
represented to have been battle of consid-
cradle magnitude, but the particulars are
