THE plrrsnuRaII SOUTHERN SALE.

Arrangements Completed Yesterday
--Chauge In Gauge Probable. ff,=s
PrrrsuuRouJ Junep.-The consummation
OF the much-talked.of disposal Of the
Pittsburgh Southern railroad was effected
yesterday, and it was sold or rather merg.
ed into the Pittsburgh 4 Monongahela
Valley Railroad, OF which NJ. D. Hays, for
merly President Of the Southern and also
OF the Castle Shannon, is President The
Pittsburgh & Monongahela Valley Railroad
was projected last February, but so far very
little work has been done on it. The line Of
the road will be as originally projected,
and will connect with the Southern at
FinlcyvilIe, and from there use the South.
ern road 10 Washington. Pa. The Monon-
gahela Valley is intended for standard
guagc, and it is supposed that the Southern
will also be made the same guage when the
connection is effected. 1t can be authori-
lively stated that the syndicate controlling
both roads has no connection whatever
with the Lake Erie Railroad, and that the
roads are not part OF the Vanderbilt sys-
TEN. AS regards the terms on which the
road was bought, nothing can be learned.
1t is stated, however, that the work on the
Alonongahela Valley will be pushed with
increased vigor. 81. : ,.l5sz i. ..5l5,. r}Jt..

THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
The PrcSitlcnt'x Nominations Not Liked
-- by Either Friend OF Foe. ~. --L

by Either Friend or Foe. -f. ~
WASHINGTON, June 9-There is unex.
pected opposition on both the RepublicaH
aud Democratic sides Of the Senate to the
Tariff Commission selected by the Presi.
dent, and it is by no means certain that
they can be confirmed. I
Whether the Commissioners will be con-
firmed will depend very much upon the
attitude oi David Davis. While a great
many OF the leading Republicans express
the opinion that the Commission rs whole
is weak, it is not expected that any Repub-
lican, with the probable exception OF Van
Wyck, will vote against confirmation. Van
Wyck yesterday, by his motion that the
confirmation should be considered in open
session, undoubtedly indicated that be in
tended to oppose the confirmation, and
wished the country to know it. It
is safe to say that the considera.
ton OF these nominations will be had
with closed doors While Mr. Van Wyck
fatty says that he shall vote not to confirm,
Senator Brown, OF Georgia, on the other
hand, says that he shall vote to confirm,
and that he shall not be bound by any eau
Gus action OF the Democrats, should they
attempt to oppose the confirmation. Ex-
Senator Underwood, OF Georgia, who is one
OF the Commissioners nominated. is life
time friend OF Brown, and believes, with
| Brown, in protection to the degree that is
now fashionable among the Georgia Inde-
pendents Underwood is OF the school OF
Fenton, Brown, and Speer on the tariff
question, and is Il Bourbon in everything
except as to that. Mcpherson, OF New
Jersey, it is said, would also vote in favor
OF confirmation il he were here, rs he is a
protectionist, but he is absent from the
city, not likely to return at present, and he
is paired with Republican. His vote
would offset that OF Van Wyck.
In these circumstances much, possibly
everything depends upon the vote Of
David Davis. 1t is known that he is a
strong personal friend otGarland, one CT the
members OF the commission, and was in
strumcutal in securing his nomination.
The custom in such cases is TO treat the
nominations OF the Commissioners as 4
whole, and Judge Davis could hardly vote
for the confirmation OF the nominee in
whom he has an interest, and vote against
the remainder OF the Commissioners. 1t
seems probable, therefore, tonight that the
Commissioners will be confirmed by an
Extremely slender majority, and that the
Democrats, with one or two exceptions,
will undoubtedly oppose.theln.
Senator Van Wyck introduced n rcsolu.
ton in the Senate to-day to the effect, "that
in considering the question, twill the SEN
ate advise and consent to the nomination
Of the persons named by the President TO
he members Of the tariff commission" rule
GO be suspended SO that said question shall
be considered in open session, and no.
with closed doors.
Senator Mcmillan reserved all points ol
order on the resolution, which was laid
over till Monday next.

The date Of tho conspiracy was placed in
1870 and this confession was made long
atterward, In June, 1881. .s5gsI
1ngersoll argued that no one would con.
tend that Reerdell's confession was intend.
ed to further the objec. Of the conspiracy.
1t was necessary 10 prove tho existence OF
conspiracy before trying 10 introduce
such evidence as this. .5l5Q
Merrick was about 10 reply when the
court interrupted him to enquire whether
he was prepared 10 assert that the COMES.
sion was intended 10 help along the con-
spiracy. Because, II 1t was not, regardless
Of other facts, 1t would certainly not be
good evidence against Reerlell.
Alerrick replied that he thought Tint The
question could best DO answered by hear
Ing the testimony. f!aGL6 2
Judge Wylie-But you must first prove
that there was conspiracy.
Merrick asserted that the confession was
tho best possible proof OF the existence Of
Il conspiracy. 6las. wa Il. q

Merrick replied, even il he should be pre-
pared to show that every one OF the deien.
dants had made n separate acknowledge
ment Of having engaged in conspiracy, 1t
would not be admissible evidence. Con.
spiracy must be made out BY circumstan-
ces. II this confession should prove that
Rcerdell met certain Of the defendants on
certain occasions, perhaps it would be ad-
missible. The prosecution should conine
their questions to iact, il they would prove
the conspiracy. This was u very important
point in the case. -. l-.ai, s, I,l
lngersoll-"Yes, your Honor, it is the
whole Of it." i-NI p-l .aG' n
lnpersoll closed the argument on this
point, which lie regarded as Of the highest
importance, by saying that he regarded the
failure oil the Government to produce
witnesses as prima ,tacie evidence that the
law was altogether on his side.
At the conclusion OF 1nsersolls argu.
ment Judge Wylie decided the evidence was
not admissible at this stage OF the trial.
When he was 81 istied from the evil
dence OF the existence OF con.
spiracy he would allow this testimony to be
introduced. Judge Wylie concluded by
saying: A person could only convict him
self by confession, and could not even do
that until the crime was first made out
Merrick remarked that of course this
decision would compel him to postpone
the introduction OF testimony he had pro.
posed to produce, and MacVeagh was then
excused. Ea.@T 5I1-,.F. ,yr3 /,
