vile was looking for 8 certain expression Guiteau broke out saying he would appeal to General Arthur and the national Congress to do away with Mormonism, as he knew the people were now suffering the same as he did when in the Oneida community. The pris- oner was questioned as to his being in jail and said he was released in both instances by the District attorney. MT. Davidge then asked the prisoner a few immaterial ques- tions, after which to Mir. Scovilie the prisoner said he left his (Mr. Scoville,s) house because Scoville thought him crank. This closed Guiteauss testimony and he was removed to his usual seat beside his counsel.
 The only witness examined after Guiteau had met the prisoner at Columbus, O., three or four years ago. At that time the prisoner was selling his work, which he claimed to be inspired. The prisoner called on him and he conyersed with him and introduced him to several persons. Witness had had expert ence with insane people and at the time thought Guiteau was insane. The cross- ex- animation brought out the fact that during one conversation 8 crowd congregated at traeted by the prisoners manner and he left. Witness was not an expert and had never ex- arnined a prisoner as to his responsibility for crime.
 Court at 2:30 p. m. adjourned until to nor row. when experts on insanity will be exam ined. Guiteau is pretty well tired ont by his long examination and his friends would not be surprised if he should become seriously in before the trial is over.

Heavy Gales on the AtIanttc.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The captain of the new steamer Coptie of the White Star Line, which vessel arrived at this port to-day, re- ported having encountered terrible gales on the Atlantic. During one storm two sailors were washed overheard and drowned. The Arizona while on her way from Liverpool to this port was repeatedly thrown on her beam ends. Clean breaches were made over the vessel and the officers on the lookout were exposed to the greatest perils at times. The ship labored heavily, but the excellent sea- manship displayed by the officers and crew avoided disaster. The steamship Rhine from Bremen had an equally stormy passage, but fortunately reports no loss of life. Dur ing the entire trip she experienced series of hurricanes and high seas. Her decks were flooded with water almost all the time. The St. Germain from Havre and the Arragon from Malaga also report tempestuous voy- ages.

A Weeks Failures in che Country.

NEW YORK, Dec. Especial telegrams from thirty cities throughout the United States to Bradstreet's to-day show that the falling of in general trade, due to the close season, has become more general than was reported week ago. There were 16s fail ures throughout the United States and Can- ada reported during the past week, an in- crease of 45 over the record of the preced- ing week. This is the largest number re- ported so far this year, and an excess of 10 compared with the week ending Nov 12, the next largest on record for 1881. The in- crease was in New England and the South and West. The causes of many of the fail ures were losses by overtrading and specula- ton, and in the South poor collections and the effect of short crops in certain places. The Middle States had 31 failures, New Eng land 36, the Southern States 42, the Western States 37, California and the Territories 12, Canada and the provinces 10.

Hon. John Boyd, of West Winsted, who died Thursday, aged 83, was son of James Boyd, who, with his brother-in-law and part ner, Benjamin Jenkins, came to Winsted in 1792, from New Windsor, N. Y., and erected the first scythe factory in Connecticut and the third in the country, on the present site of the Winsted Manufacturing company's works in the east village.
 Hon. John Boyd was graduate of Yale College in the class of 1921. He studied law in New Haven after his graduation, and was admitted to the bar of New Haven county in 1925. He was Representative in the Gen. eral Assembly from Winchester in 1880 and 1885, and was Senator from the Fifteenth district in 1854. He was 8 county commis- sioner for Litchfeld county in 1840, 1S49 and 1850, was town clerk of Winchester for twenty-six years, being first elected in 1929, and at different times between that date and 1875. He was judge of probate for the Win chester district for fifteen years and until disqualified by age in 1869. He was Secreta- ry of State for Connecticut for three years, from 1859 to 1861. He was identified with the anti-slavery party in the early days of the anti slavery agitation, and was candidate for Lieutenant Governor on the ticket of that party. He was man of sterling integrity and patriotism, despising shams. When over 60 he enlisted in Winsted company to fight for the Union. His age debarred him from being accepted.
 Mir. Boyd was first married in 1881 to Miss Emily Webster Beers, of New Haven, and second to Mrs. Jerusha Rockwell Hinsdale, widow of Theodore Hinsdale, of Winsted, and since her death his home has been with his step-daughter, Miss Mary P.
