THE GUITEAU CASE.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Arguments upon
the bill of exceptions in the Guiteau case
began this morning before the judges of
the Supreme Court of the district, sitting
in banc, Chief Justice Carter presiding,
and Justices Macarthur, Hagner and
James. Col. Corkhill and Davidge ap-
peared for the Government, and Reed for
Guiteau. Reed, after a brief opening,
passed to discussion of the question of
the jArisdictiction of the court below, ar
guing that the crime was not indictable in
this district because the offense was not
committed here, the mortal stroke having
been given here, while death occurred in
New Jersey.
Chief Justice Carter interrupted at one
point to suggest that while the murder
was the killing of person, and crime
could not be defined as murder until death
occurred, yet the act of felony was com
pleted when the murderer has finished with
his victim.
Counsel proceeded to discuss various
authorities upon the subject of Jurisdiction.

CHESTER. Pa. Feb. 90.
Francis Oaks. another victim of the Jack
son fire works explosion. died Wednesday
morning. VIM. Cowan, who vas frightfully
wounded, is nome ntarilv expected to die.
The coroner's jury investigating the death Of
the victims of the pyrotrchnic works exPlo
sion reconvened this morning, and visited the
residence Of Chief Engineer VIM. Dalton.
and took his deposition. He was in such a
critical condition that none but the jury were
admitted He stated to them that he helped
TO remove six or seven barrels of powder
from the magazine of the of the adjoining
burning building; that so far as he knew on
the ground floor of the building. in which the
fatal explosion occurred. there was nothing
but machinery. and that the young man Van
Horn told him there were no explosives about
the place, and no danger. The jury then is
tied the scene of the disaster to examine the
magazine.
The jury found nothing of an explosive ma
ture in the magazine adjoining the main
building. and only few kegs of powder in
the magazine removed from the structure.
Upon returning to the council chamber, Will
son. the coroner's attorney, presented an
ordinance prohibiting the storage of any
greater quantity of gunpowder than ten
pounds in anv building. He then addressed
the jury, telling them if they considered Prof
Jackson was negligent i'll conducting his bus
mess, he was undoubtedly liable for the death
and disaster caused by the explosion. Prof.
Jackson then spoke to the jury, denying the
charge of negligence. showin them how care
full he was and the strength OF the stsirs.
What did the damage, he said, was unknown
to him, or any other chemist and therefore
he did not feel that he WAS at fault. The
authorities of Chester have recognized his
business as dangerous for eighteen
years. The question was then left with the
jury and they went into close deliberation.
The coroners jury investigating the death
Of lS victims Of the explosion at Prof. Jack
sons fireworks factory. in a verdict find there
was in a fire proof safe adjoining the manu-
factory, from 60 to 100 pounds OF gunpowder
besides other explosives and combustible ma
terial. The city authorities are highly cen
snrable in permitting the manufacturing of
such explosives within its limits; that Prof.
jackson is highly censurable for maintaining
in the midst Of populated districts an estab-
lishment attended with all the danger of Il
fireworks mandatory; and Charles Van
Horn, in assuring the chief Of the fire de-
partment that there was no further danger af-
ter the second explosion. thus leading him
| and his department into further danger, is
! also highly censurable. The jury recommend
that the coroner hold Jackson and Van Horn
for their appearance at the next term OF
court. jackson and Van Horn will be ar.
| rested Immediately.

BRADLAUGH'S CASE.
mOns.-A New Writ for North.
amptOn Ordered.
LONDON, Feb. 90.

LONDON, Feb. 90.
In the Commons Gladstone, this aiternoon.
stated that Lord Randolph Chnrchills motion
tor the issue for new writ for Northampton
would relieve the House from its difficulty
But as Bradlaugh had not sat during the de-
bate his conduct was not such as. according
to The wording of the rules, would vacate his
seat Gladstone adhered to his position that
the House had acted beyond its powers in
preventing Bradlaugh from taking the oath.
but Bradlaughs conduct, he said was an act
of fagrant dsobedience to the House hut not
to the chair, and considering the govern
meni's position throughout, Gladstone said
he had resolved TO leave the direction of the
question to the majority, giving it his assist
ance "a far as psssIble. daughter from the
Conservative benches
Sir Stafford Northcote asked the Speaker
if Bradlaugh had not also dsobeyed the
Speaker. who replied Yes"
Gladstone commented on the act of DISC
bedience as not having been carried so far as
to compel the Chair to ask for assistance.
Sir Stafford Nurthcote complained of the
conduct of Gladstone. but said 1t was not for
him to assume the leaders duties and he
therefore, confined himself to moving as an
amendment that Bradlauph be prevented
from entering the precincts of the House.
Lord Randolph Churchill declared this mo-
ton to be milk and water, and said that he
would vote against it.
Lord Randolph Churchilrs motion that a
new writ be issued for Northampton was re-
jected without division.
The motion of Lyons, (liberal) member
for dublin, that Bsad.augh is guilty of pro-
fanation and therefore incapable of sitting in
the House of Commons was Withdrawn be
cause of legal objections to pronouncing on
the question of qualification.
During the discussion of this point La
bouchere demanded that Bradlaugh be heard
at the bar of the House. The House received
this motion uniavorably. Bradlaugh how
ever. passed the bar and took his seat In
consequence of this fresh act of di>obedience
and OF Gladstone refusing to act, Sir Stafford
Nor,hcote Withdrew his first motion and
moved that Bradlaugh having disobeyed the
Chair. and being in contempt of the House.
he be expelled. Gladstone supported this
motion, which was passed bv a vote of POI To
So. Bradaugh voted with the minority. and
Gladstone abstained. Bradlaugh then quiet
ly left.
Upon the motion of Sir Stafford Northcote
new writ for Northampton was ordered.
Labouchere stating that BradIaugh would be
the candidAt,.
