The FEayden Murder Trial.

NEW HAVEN, CONN. Oct. 2S.-The Hayden trial
was resumed at 10 O'Clock this morning, and Mr..
Prof. Dana, who testified that he was retained
by the prosecution on December 16, 1878. 1t was
In May that the European trip was first sug-
gested. He had not yet received any pay for his
services. He went solely for the purpose of
studying fully the arsenic question, and spent
one day at the TavistOck Works and one
day at the Garland Works at BiSSOe.
At the latter place he witnessed the process of
the manufacture as far as it was carried on
there. Prof. Dana after a series of questions
from Mr.. WatrOuS admitted that at different
times one package of arsenic might come
from the work with larger crystals than
another, and as to the colegrove and
stomach arsenic left with him to test he had
never counted the crystals nor made any attempt
TO estimate them. There were millions of them
and it would be a senseleSS waste Of time to
attempt to enumerate them.

The Grant Welcome Meeting.

A COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED TO BE APPOINTED.
About two hundred citizens Of the District met
last night, at Wizards Hall, to arrange for the
welcome to General Grant to the Capital when
he Shall reach here: Mr.. A. NJ Clamp Esd, nom
mated Judge Macarthur, as chairman. and J. F.
OlmStead YVES selected as secretary. On taking
the chair Judge Macarthur made quite a felicf-
tious speech, which was warmly applauded. He
spoke of the hOnorS Which had been accorded
the General by the people of every nation and
desired the people of Washington to welcome
him back to the Capitol, without regard to party.
The meeting adopted a resolution authorizing
Judge Macarthur to appoint committee of one
hundred, without regard to politics, to confer
with the Army of the Cumberland. and to make
arrangements for the reception Of the General
should he visit the city to attend the unwilling
of the Thomas statute.
Colonel Corkhill asked whether any Information
had been received that General Grant would be
here in time for the unwilling. He hal learned
that General Sherman had received dispatch
from General Grant stating that it was mpos-
Sible for him to be present as he would be in
Clapp said that it had been generally under
stood that General Grant would be present at
the unVeiling OF the statue and the reunion OF the
army of the Cumberland. Whether he be pres
ent or not it was perfectly proper to take the
initiative steps to receive him whenever he
should revisit the city. Gen. w. II. Browne re-
ported the progress which had been made by the
several committees of the army of the Cumber-
land for the Thomas ceremonies on the goth
prOXimO Chairman Macarthur, after the meet
ing had adjourned, explained that in the event
OF General Grants acceptance OF the invitation
of the Society OF the Army OF the Cumberland
he would become the guest OF that army and
thereby become the guest of the city. The COM
mittee OF one hundred will be made up and an
nOunceQ by Judge Macarthur hereafter.

THE sTREET-CAR CROSSING AT SEVENTH STREET.
Mr.. Henry Hurt, president of the Washington
and Georgetown street railroad company has
addressed note to Major Morgan, superintend-
ent of police stating that it has been the custom
for the cars on It'll street and on Pennsylvania
avenue to cross the street before stopping at the
junction OF the two roads; that since the company
has stationed men at that point to issue trans
fers it would be more convenient for the public
and for the transfer men if cars on the avenue
should stop on the same side of the street going
in both directionS-Say on the east side of 18th,
not near enough to obstruct the crossing. He
asks If there are any police objections. In bad
weather it is very disagreeable for those who
exchange cars at this point to be compelled to
stand out in the weather until the cars arrive.
The corners at Pennsylvania avenue on the west
side of 18th street are both public reservations.
If the authority could be granted, the company
would erect on each of said corners handsome
awnings, which would offer very good protec-
ton from rain or sunshine. The paper was re-
ferTed to the District Commissioners.
