THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The Star Route eTriaIs-Carpenfer'xA Arsu-
 ment for the Defense-Other Matters of
 Interest.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-For the first time since the beginning of the closing arguments the defendants in the Star route cases were present in court to day, Gen. Brady being the only absentee. Mir. Carpenter, counsel for J. W. and s. w. Dorsey. began his ad- dress to the jury. He appealed to the jury to pay no attention to the expressions of public opinion in the case. He then passed on to critisise the action of the law officer of the government in abdicating his position and duty in order to make way for his learned friends the special counsel in this case (pointing to Messrs Ker and Merrick, the latter of whom had just entered the court room.) This, so far as he knew, was without an example or precedent. He had never known any other District attorney to abdicate his position to any man. The case was further remarkable in this, that the Attorney General, contrary to precedent. had himself been before the court and was to argue this case to the jury. There was no example for this so far as he knew, and there ought to be no example for it.. The remarks made by the Attorney General at the opening of the case had struck him like a thunder clap from a clear sky. MT. Carpen- ter proceeded in this strain for some time, and assailed the Attorney General sharply for his action in the case. On February II, 1881, continued Mir. Carpenter, there was an extraordinary conversation of celebrated men at Delmonico's at New York. MT. Merrick objected to this line of argument as irrelevant to the case, and was sustained by the judge, who denied MT. Carpenters claim that this meeting constituted s part of the country's history. Mir. Carpenter then took up Mir. Ker's argument for the prosecution and showed what he alleged to be it's weakness, and continued to present arguments to show the innocence of his clients.
 The national board of health will meet to- morrow to protest against the yellow fever ! appropriation being given to the marine hos ! pital service.

The Fort POpham Shooting Case-Grsat
 Excitement Over the Affair.
 BOSTON, Aug. 14.-A dispatch from Bath, Me-, asserts that after the death of Frank A. Smith, the Harvard student, on Sunday morning, from the pistol shot wound by Sergeant Kelley, at Fort Popham, two weeks ago, 8 warrant was issued by Judge Tallman' of Bath for the arrest of Kelley on the charge of murder. When Smiths death be- came known, the people about Popham be- came very much excited, but were restrained from any violent demonstration on learning that Sheriff Ballou was on his way from Bath to arrest Kelley. Kelley was sitting at his desk when he heard of Smiths death. He did not venture out of the house all day. When Smith died his father tainted Coun- ty Attorney Mllay, Dr. Mitchell of Bow doin College, Sheriff Ballou, the coroner, and twenty others went over to Popham this afternoon. Smiths ante mortem statement is sealed, and will not be opened until it is presented in court. It asserts that he was with a friend named SaviAe, fishing near the fort, when they de cided to make visit to the property. They went to port hole, and looking 1n, saw the sergeant go on the north side of the court yard, then south, toward them. and @ saw the gleam of the pistol in his hands The ser geant said ''Get out of this, you fellows" The boys replied: (Which way shall we get out?" Kelley said "The same way or the gate" The next thing they knew Smith was shot. Smith then asked Kelley to help him to the hotel. Kelley said he would not but he would open the gate for them. Smith staggered through the gate and into the hotel, when he tainted. This statement re- futes Kellsys claim of accidental shooting while holding the pistol in his left hand. The result of the coroner's inquest was finding that Smith came to his death from a pistol shot from weapon in the hands of Sergeant Kelley Kelley has arrived at Bath and se- cured counsel The Supreme Court meets here on Tuesday.

Sixty Horses Burned to Death-A Livery
 Stable On Fire.
 PROVIDENCE, R. T., Aug. 15.-A terrible fire broke out at 11:3O last night at Rowley Brothers stables, burning the building to ashes with about sixty horses and a large number of carriages. Ahe barn was wood en structure and occupied a whole block and is partially insured. At 12:3o the runs were still burning. Loss $50, 1000. The cause of the fire is as yet unknown, but while the night mon were sitting near the front part of the stable they were mortified at seeing an immense wall of flame suddenly sweeping down upon them from the loft above and they had to flee for their lives. Immediately after their escape from the threatening blaze an alarm was rung out and the fire depart ment rapidly gathered to the spot. When they arrived the flames were streaming from all parts of the roof of the main building and shooting out of the upper windows, and 1t was at once seen that to save the stable would be utterly impossible, and there was no hope of rescuing any of the many horses from death. Within the main building there were fifty horses, twenty carriages and five hacks besides large stock of harnesses hay, grain and a full complement of stable furni- ture the whole being valued at $50, 900. The means of the poor horses in their agony was terrible to hear, but fortunately lasted but few brief moments, as the dense smoke soon brought suffocation.

Death of Jesse HOyt.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-In the death of Jesse Hoyt to-day, New York has lost one of it's most prominent business men, who for years had been identified with the grain in- terests of the country and ranked as one of the most successful merchants of this city. MT. Hoyt sixty-eight years of age. He was born in New York and began his busi ness life as clerk in the house of c. and L. Dennison < Go. MT. Jesse Hoyt took deep interest in all matters affecting the grain trade with which he had been identified al most from the time that it began to be of consequence in this city. Its rapid and enor- nous growth was due in no inconsiderable degree to his energy and foresight. He ear- ly appreciated the growing importance of the western States. and took great interest in their development and was instrumental in building up the city of East Saginaw, Mich igan. In connection with his Michigan property, MT. Hoyt became largely interest ed in the building of the Flint and Pere mar quette railroad. which was completed to Ludington on Lake Michigan opposite Milwaukee, making 8 direct line from Toledo to Lake Michigan, and by connections up through the forthwest. He was president of this railroad at the time of his death. He also became connected with the development of other larger railroad interests in the West. With others he built the first east and west railroad in the State of Minnesota, the Union and St. Peter railroad, and afterward sold it to the Chicago and Northwestern. He was l also instrumental in the construction of the Milwaukee and Northern railroad and the Wisconsin, Michigan, Ontanogon and Rule river railroad, running from Milwaukee up Lake Superior through the vast iron, copper and timber regions in which he had extensive interests. At the time of his death he a director of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
 with which he became connected on it's reor- ganization. Mir. Hoyt built the first railroad grain elevator in Milwaukee and some years ago became interested in elevators in Chica- go in connection with the systems of the Chicago and St. Paul and Northwestern rail roads. Two years ago he erected the great Erie grain elevator in Jersey City. MT. Hoyt was an active director of the Merchants Ex- change National bank, of the Home Insur- ance and Commercial Insurance companies. At one time he was director of the New York elevated railroad. He declined to act in such capacity in many other corporations upon the ground that he did not have time to give personal attention to the duties of his posi- tion.

An Unprecedented Yield of Corn.
 TOPEKA, Aug. 1.-The corn crop, accord. ing to the statement of the secretary of the State board of agriculture, continues in fa- vorable condition. The yield of 1882 will. in all probability, reach 200, ,O0O, 900 bushels, and bring at least $6O, 900, 900. The Kansas eat crop is the heaviest ever known, and is all safe. Fifty to sixty bushels to the acre is not an uncommon yield, the average produc- tion being forty bushels to the acre. As not a single adverse report has been received, the acreage is placed at 523, 900, an increase over 1881 of fifty four per cent. The crop, it is estimated, will amount to q, COG, 1000. Reports of most fattering nature re- garding wheat are still coming in. The threshing shows that counties which were estimated to yield eighteen to twenty bushels are turning out twenty five to thirty bushels.
