The so-cALLED DEFENSE in the So
called Star-route cases will file motion to
quash the information which charges GER
tain parties with public crime. This will
be done on the principle that actuated an
old German citizen of Pennsylvania. He
had a cow, and said cow was ornamented
with bell that was perfect in every re-
spect except that it needed clapper Said
cow, in the natural or unnatural course of
events, became lost, and when the owner
confronted the problem of finding his lost
property, he was met with the fact that the
whereabouts of stray COW is not easily
told when her bell is minus clapper.
In this sad emergency he picked up a
handful of small pebbles and went through
the woods throwing them in every direc-
tion in the hope of hitting the bell. If he
ever did that, the problem was solved and
tho loss of the clapper would not be mate
rally felt.
The bearing Of this lies in the application
of it. Billy Cook is u parsonage charged
and empowered to destroy the character of
certain citizens who have heretofore stood
in good repute. He is an alleged lawyer.
As such he IS supposed to be confined to the
decencies ofat least common-law proceed

A Chicago GirI,s AdHeniure.

New YORK, December IA richly
dressed and handsome looking young
woman appealed to a police officer in
City Hall Park this evening for pro-
lection. He took her to the station
house, where she gave her name as
Jane Stevens. and said she lived at
No. 20 Hyde Park avenue, Chicago.
Her father, size said, was Chicago
broker, and she gave her age as six
teen. She also stated that she ran
away from home with q yeung woman
named Jane Go1ld, and that they ar
rived in this city to day. Miss Gould,
she further stated, took her to City
Hall Park after dark, and borrowed
her watch and twenty dollars in bank
notes, saying she would find board
inghouse, and then left her alone in
the park. Miss Gould had persuaded
her to come to New York. She ap.
pealed to a police officer because she
had become frightened in the park.
Miss Stevens was taken to police head
quarters. The Chicago police will be
notified tomorrow. An alarm was
seat out, directing the police to look
for Miss Gould.

The In crest Undiminished--
A New Witness
Who Failed to Help the Assas-
sins Cause.

w ASHINGTON, December 3.-Ihe
interest in the Guiteau trial is undi
minished. The first witness called was
Colonel j. 0. P. Burnside, disbursing
officer of the postofice department,
who formerly lived in Freeport, Ills.
Knew the prisoners family; Mrs.
Guiteau was an invalid.
Charles Allen, Of Missouri, lived in
Freeport in 80 and 40 and knew
Guiteau's family; Mrs. Guiteau was in
feeble health.
Emery A. Storrs, of Chicago, knew
Guiteau in that city by sight as
young lawyer; saw him perhaps
dozen times at the National Republi
can Committees rooms, New York,
during the late Presidential canvass.
The prisoner came up to him glee.
fully and patting him on the shoulder
said you are on the right track"
Witness never saw Guiteau doing any
thing at the committee rooms other
than reading rapers. He seemed to
have no especial employment. In
April be saw the prisoner at Washing
ton. He said he was going to have
the Austrian mission. The witness
told him the place was an important
one, and in Blaine's line, and that he
( (Blaine) was known to politician.
The prisoner replied he was solid
with Blaine"
The witness thought the converse
tion was leading up to a request for
him (witness) to visit Blaine in
Guiteua's interest, and forestalled
it by saying his relation with Blaine
were such that he could not aid him
personally. The witness had formed
an opinion as to Guiteau's mental
size but could not express his opinion
as to his sanity or insanity. His i'm
preston was "Guiteau had an lily bal
anced mind, in common parlence he
did not have good common sense. J."
Witnesswas asked in relation to the
political status just prior to the shoot.
ing Of President Garfield if there was
not an element of discord in the Re-
publican party which threatened to
disrupt it. The reply was; ~ think
the Republican party pretty difficult
one to disrupt, and while there were
elements OF discord, my belief in the
good sense of the rank and Gle is such
that think it would have held to-
gether.
Upon cross-examination the wit
ness said: II never saw anything in
Guiteau to indicate that he could not
distinguish between right and wrong;
never saw anything in the conduct Of
the prisoner that would indicate that
he did not know the difference be.
tween guilt and innocence; never saw
anything to indicate that he would
not be responsible for crime.
Mr.. Scoville noted several Exceptions
to the rulings of Judge Cox in favor
of the admission of these replies.
The evidence created cutie stir in
the court room, and seemed to stagger
those about the defense table. The
sister of the prisoner was particularly
elected, and in tones distinctly caught
by the reporters said: He has per-
jured himself, that is all there is
about il"

sOUTHWEsTERN RAILROADS.
A New Line from st. Louis 20 New
Orleans by Another Year.

ST.. LOUIS, December 3.-General
G. NJ. Dodge, President of the Pacific
railroad, American and International
and Great Northern Construction
company, in an interview gives the
following facts concerning the building
of railroads in the Southwest. He
says: The New Orleans Pacific, from
Shreveport to New Orleans, 300 miles,
will be completed by the first of the
year. A branch Of the Missouri Pa
cific will be built from Alexandria to
the State line of Arkansas, where
connection will be made with the
Iron Mountain. The Iron Mountain
is building from Knoble, Ark, to the
State line. These two lines will be
connected before the expiration Of the
coming year, when direct cOmmunica-
ton between st. Louis and New Or
leans will be established, and known
as the St. Louis and New Orleans
Short Line.
The building of the International &
Great Northern railway from San An
tonic to Laredo, Texas, will be fin.
ished by December 18th. AS soon as
this work is completed, an iron bridge
will be built over the Rio Grande
river, and then the Mexican extension
will be pushed forward rapidly. The
extension will be known as the Mexi-
can Oriental Interoceanic Interna-
tional Railroad Company. 1t will be
seven hundred miles in length, and
run on almost an air line from Laredo
TO the City of Mexico.
