MURDER IN THE FIRST DE
GREE.
Conviction of PietrO BalbO for
the Murder of His Wife-TO
be Sentenced To-Day.


The trial OF Pietro Balbo for numbering
his wife WAS continued in the Court OF
over and Terminer Yesterday, Judge
Daniels on the bench. Two female wit
nesses were produced on the part OF the
defence. who testified to the dead wO-
mans dislike Of her husband and her
possession of the knife with which the
killing is supposed To have been done,
and with this the testimony on both
sides closed. The case was then summed
up % the Jury By Mr.. Buckingham on
behalf OF the accused. followed by As
sistant District Attorney Lyons on the
side of the prosecution.
The former argued that the story OF
the prisoner, that the blows were intiict-
ed by him in sell defense while resist
ing an attack upon him by his wife,
must be believed, while Mr.. Lyon argued
at length in opposition, that the nature
Of the wounds and all the surrounding
circumstances, including Balbo's admis-
sion after arrest cOntradicted that
theory, and concurred in demonstrating
that the murder was deliberate, and that
jealousy and the sights OF his wife were
the motives for the deed. In cOnclud-
Ing his srgument Mr.. Lyon urged upon
the jury that ii they cOncurred with him
in his Interpretation of the evidence It
would be- their duty 10 uphold the
hands of Justice BY rendering verdict
which would operate as warning
10 a class OF persons who almost con-
stautly 20 armed with deadly weapons,
and among whom the taking OF hu-
man life Is lar too frequent. In sub
mitting the case to the jury, Judge Dan
iels reviewed the law as applicable 10
the four phases of which il was claimed
the case was susCeptible-thOseO Of muir
der in the first and second degree, man
slaughter in the first degree and lustlti-
able homicide. Stating with much de-
tail the evidence given on both sides,
he indicated 10 the jury how 1t might be
applicable 10 one phase OF the case or
another, as they might be impressed
with its truth, and concluded by saying
that as To any phase OF therase, whether
% aCquit entire or reduce the grade OF
the offence, they were bound 10 give the
prisoner the benefit Of any reasonable
doubt which might arise on the teStl-
mOny.
The jury retired at O'Clock, and in
fifteen minutes returned into court with
a verdict OF murder in the first degree.
The jury being polled at the request OF
BalbO's counsel, each one answered that
the verdict as rendered by the foreman
was his. BalbO received the result with
out apparent emotion, although an I'M
preston prevailed before 1t was render
pi that 10 would not exceed murder in
the second degree.
Sentence was deferred until this morn
ing, o. which time the court adjourned.
and the condemned man was irOned and
conducted % the city prison by two
deputy sheritIs, followed 10y a crowd OF
his cuuutry-meu and women.

A British Move that Miscarried.


CAnUL, December l2.-Wedneslay
General Mcpherson occupied Sarth
Katal Just in time to prevent the junc-
ton Of the KOhistams with force from
Ghuznee. The kohistams, who oCcu.
pied Il position near katal, were attack
ed and dislOdged, leaving six standards.
The British loss was few men slightly
wounded General Baker was 10 meve
by way OF Chai Aisa, to take their
rear, while General Massy, with
a force Of horse artillery, two
squadrOOns OF the Ninth Lsncers
and one squadron OF the Fourteenth
Bengal LanCers was 10 join General Nc
Pherson by way of the Charden valley
for combined movement with the OBJ
ject OF driving the enemy south on
General Bakers command. General
Massy encountered Pond JAMS force,
numbering 10000 Afghan Seperis tribe
men, and his cavalry made a brilliant
charge, but without apparent effect on
the vast body OF the enemy.
LONDON, December IA dispatch
from Cabul, dated Thursday, says: The
combined movement Of Generals Massy
and Mcpherson miscarried. The Cayal-
~ arrived at tine point OF junction too
early. They encountered large masses
of the enemy, and their guns, for a time,
fell into the enemys hands, but they
were afterwards recovered. The lnsur-
gents, who are in considerable force
about the city, are being attacked this
morning by General Mcpherson, who
Yesterday inflicted a severe loss upon
them.
The official account OF the engage
ment between Gen. Massey's command
and the forces under Mahomed Jams
shows that Gen. Massey, while attempt
ing to intercept the enemy, was at
tackled by great numbers. His cavalry
before abandoning the field overturned
the guns and made repeated charges.
The guns were not recovered until the
arrival OF General MacPherson' force.
The enemy later attacked the British in
the hills south OF Bala HisSar, but were
beaten off with loss. General Roberts
reports that the combination OF tribes
against the british is considerable.

Bayard's Resolution and Other Finance
Measures Postponed.
WASHINGTON, December -. - The
Senate Finance Committee has post
poned till after the Christmas recess the
Warner silver bill, the trade dollar bill
and the Bayard resolution concerning
greenbacks, on the ground that the sub
jects require fuller discussion than
could be given by the committee before
adjournment. There was some informal
discussion of Mr.. Bayard's resolution,
from the tenor OF which, and the known
opinion OF two members who were alb
sent, it may be foreshadowed that
Messrs. Voorhees,, Ferry, Jones, OF
Nevada, and Allison will oppose
favorable report on the resolu-
ton, and that Keenan,, Wallace
and Morrill, will earnestly support Bay
ard i'm its advocacy. The casting vote
upon the question OF reporting it is.
therefore, TO be given by Beck, who has
not vet indicated what position he will
take in regard to it. \ prominent mem
bea OF the committee SAID to-day: The
trade dollar bill will undOubted be re-
ported from the committee with the
amendments proposed by Mr.. Ferry last
session, viz: To provide that trade dol
lars offered in exchange for standard
dollars shall be received only at their
market value as bullion, and that the
amount Of trade dollars converted into
standard dollars by recOinage be counted
as part of the annual maximum coinage
Of the latter now authorized by law.
National Bankrupt Law.
WASHINGTON, December l2.-The Ma
tiOnal Board of Trade met this afternoon.
The committee appointed yesterday to
consider the prOpriety of the re-enact-
ment of the National Bankrupt Law sub
mitted report, holding that in such re-
enactment there are two cardinal tea-
lures which should be fully recognized,
viz: First, that the expense incurred
i'm the administration Of the law should
be reduced to the lowest possible figure
according TO a fixed schedule OF charges.
Second, all exemptions allowed to
debtors should be particularly specified
i'm such law and should be in lieu OF all
State exemption. The Report in con-
clusion, say: "YOur committee have
thought it best not to enter into further
details at the present time, believing
that the propositions above stated are
comprehensive and sufficiently indicate
what should be the tenor and spirit OF
the law" The report was unanimously
adopted.
Postage on Circulars.
WASHINGTON, December l2.-The
