Mr.. Davidge quoted the decision Of Judge
Noah Davis, in the Coleman case. and Judge
Porter, owing to Davidge suffering from .
severe cold, read the decision at length, and
the argument was continued till recess.
After recess the jury did not return.
Col. Reed addressed the court in reply to
Judge Davidge and confined his argument to
the consideration of two questions: First,
the definitions laid down in the revised stat
utes of murder and manslaughter, under
which, if malice be not proven. he contended
the crime would be manslaughter. Second,
the application to the case of the question of
. reasonable doubt in connection with the
plea of insanity.
Col Reed concluded his argument at quar-
ter past two, with peoration in which fig
ured glowing allusion the latitude OF the lib
erty and far reaching impartiality of the law
under our tree institutions.
Mr.. Scoville upon being informed by the
court that the prosecution were entitled to
the opening and closing where both parties
prayed instruction, called attention to the
fact that the prosecution had made one argu-
ment which the jury hai listened to in the
morning and would have the same advantage
tomorrow, while il the defence probably it
was a mere accident like Mr.. Davidge's cold
in the morning which allowed Judge Porter
TO air his eloquence before the jury, must be
content to discuss these questions in their ab-
sence.
A lively and somewhat sarcastic colloquy
between the counsel ensued.
The court did not think any reflection up
on the prosecution was intended by Mr.. ScO-
vile and put an end to the dispute by telling
Mr.. Scoville to proceed with his argument.
Mr.. ScOville criticised severely the course
pursued by Judge Davis lin the New York
case just decided) in going out of his way,
as he (Scoville) said, to render decision
that might be made use of in the trial of
Guiteau
'Yes," called out the prisoner, ''and the
jury in that case went out of their way to re-
buke Judge Davis"
Mr.. Scoville had not concluded his argu-
ment at o'clock when the court adjourned
till Monday.

Exanination Before the Coroner's Jury
IT Kennebank.

KKxyEBuSK, Jan. Z.
The jury on the Boston & Maine accident
was convened 1t 1890, Saturday forenoon.
Commissioner John F. Anderson was pres
ent. No person was admitted unless con-
nected with the inquisition- The engineer of
the forward engine, Charles A. Rankin, was
called and sworn.
The witness said he was forty years old;
had been an engineer about three years.
When crossing the bridge was going from
twenty TO thirty miles an hour. The first
knew Of any accident saw the end of the
baggage car was four feet higher than it
should be on the westerly side of the bridge;
/ shut OF steam before the other engine whis-
tied down brakes did no. feel any jar; stopped
because saw there was something wrong; !;
have heard stays rattle on this and the Mitch
ell bridge; thought the baggage car became
detached from the engine on the westerly
of the bridge.
Charles $. Fowler. fireman on the head
engine, was called. His testimony was sub
stantially the same as that Of Rankins. He
| said he felt no jar at any time; the train was
| running from twenty five to thirty-fv miles
an hour.
At IL o'clock Geo. o. Yeaton appeared in
behalf of the Boston & Maine railroad. The
| jury admitted him as a listener. He took no
part in the proceedings.
AloDzo w. Smith, engineer of the Forest
City, the hind engine, said he was fifty min
utes behind time, at the time OF the accident,
| running not over thirty-five miles an hour !;
when near the easterly side of the bridge he
felt the engine settle.
Afternoon session.-Alonzo w. Smith was
recalled: felt the engine settle a little, the
most on the east side,-from four to six
| inches; got off the bridge with one broken
spring to the engine and one on the tender,
both on the hight hand side. The baggage
car broke from the engine at the east end of
bridge; did not notice anything out of the
way in the train before reaching the bridge.
Think car might run some distance with
one axle broken. The baggage car seemed
to be running smoothly when crossing the
bridge.
| Geo. w. Collins, fireman on the Forest
| City. suhstantiated the testimony of his en-
gineer. He is sure that he felt the engine
settle when on the bridge.
The jury at this point again visited the
sceDce of the disaster at the earnest request
Of Commissioner Anderson. No more testi-
mony tonight.

GEN. BURBRIDGE'S RECORD.
The General Defends His Acts During
the War.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.
Gen. Burbridge in reply to Congressman
Blackburn's letter of Dec. 9th, has written
a letter defending his course in Kentucky,
during the war. He says ever act of his
was IN the line of his orders from Washing
ton, and that energetic measures be used nec-
essary for the suppression of the Kentucky
guerrillas. He says no man was put to death
BY his orders without trial and conviction
before q regular court martial. He calls
Blackburns attention to the plot by which his
(Blackburn )partisans attempted to introduce
yellow fever in the northern cities, and sug-
gests that portion of his indignation be
spent upon the perpetrators. Appended to
his reply are copies Of telegraphic and other
orders received from Washington, and among
them the following:
WASHINGTON, 1864.
Gen. Burbridge, Lexington, Ky.-I hear
that you arrested my relative, Miss Helm,
and released her on her showing You letter
from me. If it contains anything that al
lows her to talk or act treason disregard it,
and treat her as you do other rebels.
A. LINCOLN.
Then follow letters from Gen. Sehoield,
under date of Washington, June 18th, 1864,
and from President Lincoln and Secretary
Stanton, on the same day, congratulating
0cu. oH HIS NlCtOIy over MOTRdu
Numerous other letters including one from
Montgomery Blair under date of Washington,
June 2lst, 1866, and one from Salmon p.
Chase under date of Washington, June 10Th,
1869, are submitted. They endorse Gen.
Burbridge's manner in the discharge of his
military duties in Kentucky. The statement
concludes with letters from Robert J. Breck-
enbridge, w. c. Goodloe, James Speed, w.
Il. Kinney, c. F. Burnam, d. M. Key and
others, all of which tend to show that in the
opinion of their writer's Gen. Burbridge's
record been worthy of commendation in all
respects.

SENSATION IN COURT.
A Dramatic Scene.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I.
In the Guiteau trial the first sensation of
the day was caused by the reading of Judge
Davis's New York charge to the jury in the
Coleman (murder) case.
Judge Porter relieved Mr.. Davidge, and
read from newspaper slip.
Mr. Scoville with some impatience object
ed to any more such dramatic efforts on the
part of Judge Porter, intended for effect on
the jury, and insisted that he (Porter) might
rs well read a stump speech to the jury that
he (Porter) knew that it had no bearing
upon the case.
"Of course he knew it," Guiteau shouted,
land more than that the jury decided the
case directly against the charge of the court 5"
Judge Porter repelled the intimation and
insisted that this farce which had so long
been enacted by the counsel for the defence
must now stop. IL not rebuked by the court
it would be by others.
Judge Cox ended the dispute by saying the
matter read was undoubtedly authority; its
applicability to this case could be comment
ed upon by the counsel at the proper time.
As Mr.. Davilge resumed, Guiteau again
shouted: 81 want to get this thing right be-
fore the jury. Every one knows all about
that Coleman case. The jury gave a verdict
against the charge and this prosecution knew
it we'll"
The effect was electrical when Mr. Davidxe
in the most deliberate and earnest manner
said: ''Your Honor, this man was for three
weeks held up to US as an imebecile, and now
listen to him; he not only knows the differ
ence between right and wrong. but he UNDER
stands fully the law of the case.
Guiteau-Transitory mania, that's my case.
| don't pretend I'm insane now. I've got as
good head ss you or Porter either Sco-
vile a fool though; repudiate him aid his
whole theory of defence. All want is two
hours before that jury, and can set this
thing all right.
The scene was lively one for a few min
utes. Judge Cox raped for order, and soon
Guiteau subsided and Mr.. Davidge continued
without further Interruptions to the end of his
argument.
After recess Col. Reed addressed the court
in reply to Judge Davidge and confined his
remarks to the consideration of two ques-
tions; First, the definitions laid down in the
Revised Statutes of murder and mauslaug gh-
ter, under which, if malice be not proven.
he contended the crime would be manslaugh-
ter. Second, the application to this case of
| reasonable doubt in connection with the plea
of insanity.
The jury ayailed themselves of the per-
mission of the court and did not return after
recess. Under the charge of two bailiffs as
| chaperones, they went out for drive.
number of checks were received in the
prisoners mail this morning, which we're de-
posted at the Riggs banking house for col
lection. 1t is not known whether they are
genuine or were sent merely as a hoax

Amputation Of the Leg,


rhe old Family Physician at Fault--Dr.
David Kennedy the Successful surgeon.
Money is the universal necessity, and none
but q cynic or fool will affect to despise it.
Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster
county, n. Y, had realized this truth. His
disease involved the whole of his thigh-bone,
and the suffering man looked forward, not
without apparent reason. to death as his only
deliverer. His family physician refused to
amputate the limb-asserting that the opera
ton would kill the patient on the spot. DIR.
Darid Kennedy, of Rondout N. Y. who was
consulted, held different opinion. and am
putated the limb. The Doctor then admin
istered freely his great Blood Specific
FAvORITE REMEDY to afford tone and
strength to the system. prevent the return OF
the disease, and Mr.. Ellsworth remains to
this das in the bloom of health. This gentle
mans disease was the offspring offoul blood,

FALL RIVER, Jan,

FALL RIVER, Jan. Z.
Secretary Howard of the spinners' union,
in his monthly circular issued tonight. head
ed High food, low wages" says nine-tenths
of the mill agents ignored the petitions ask
ing for wages commensurate with the cost OF
living. This unwise, selfish policy. if per-
sisted in. is destined to hinder. the growth
and blight the prospects of labor and capital
in this city" The circular goes on at great
length to show that higher wages means bet

ployees that the operatives were never more
justified in asking an advance than now, and
concludes as follows: ''Let petitioning be
