asserted last night that he had received IN
structions from Brady to abuse every man
connected with the prosecution. and that ne
should write an article for tomorrow IN &C
cordance with these instructions, and that
the writer said that Bliss is an unreformed
inmate of nearly every inebriate asylum II
the country.
A colloauy was started between Bliss, ana
Wilson, (0f Brady's counseD IS to when
side was responsible for the beginning OF tne
newspaper abuse and personalities, but was
stopped BY Judge Wylie. who remarked
sGentlemen, this thing has gone iai
enough, this is no place for arguments OF thst
character"
Bliss concluded his argument at ciocK'
18th the assurance 10 the defence that II upon
the presentation of the evidence for the pros
ecution it should seem to him insufficient, ne
Bliss would most cheerfully move 10 o1s-
MISS with an additional satisfaction arising
from the fact that he had heretofore enjoyed
with one of the defendants, social relations
of the pleasantest character.
Judge Shellabarger began the closing ar
gument for the defence.
The counsel for the prosecution. he said.
had taken occasion to arraign the counsel Tor
the defence, because they had deemed 1t
their duty in pointing out the defects In the
Indictment, to insist that those
safeguards of liberty which the constitution
itself had provided should be adhered to. that
when citizen OF official is punished there
must and shall be a good indictment. Anoth-
er observation which he desired to make was
in regards to ambiguity, whether defendants
were to answer under common law or statute
law, and the distinguished counsel, who OPP
ened for the prosecution. had boosted that
the indictment was good under either. but
that the prosecution would not, either in
their argument OF in their pleading. disclose
upon which they should rely, or under which
system they would proceed. which was prac-
tice novel to him at least heretofore unknown.
To make TIE assurance doubly sure he had,
however. prepared himself against this
double barrelled instrument, this indict
ment of the prosecution.
Judge Shellabarger then proceeded to urge
the insufficiency of the indictment under Sec
ton $40, inasmuch as it did not set forth
the crime defended by. that section and for
which punishment was defined. He claimed
that the place to try this man, if tried at all,
was IN the Senate where the constitution had
placed remedy.
Judge Wylie said he would decide upon
the arguments and give the counsel two or
three DAYS notice or time of his decision.

ANOTHER STRIKE.
The Spinners at Sycamore Mill Have
Decided not to Return to Work.

FALL RIVER, Mass, April 2.
The spinners at the Sycamore Mill met this
morning and decided not to go to work in
the morning. As there is but a small amount
of filling on hand this will throw the weavers
out of work and compel the mill to shut
down unless new spinners are secured. While
the spinners allege that the mules have been
too heavily weighted the management of the
mill give another explanation of the difficulty.
Until recently the spinners at that mill have
been permitted to use the wrenches and reg
ulate the draft of the mules themselves. 1t
is claimed that the spinners have abused this
privilege and they were forbidden to use the
wrenches, that duty was restricted to the Sec
ond hand, hence the dissatisfaction. Cotton
brokers say the cotton used at the Sycamore
is equal to that in general use here. The
Spinners Union will hold a special meeting
Tuesday night.

Cornelius J. Vanderbilt, brother Of VIM.

by shooting himself through the head. He
did not regain consciousness after he COM
mitted the fatal act, and after lingering for
several hours breathed his last just before
six, surrounded by many friends and men,
beers of his family. The motive for the act is
given by his friends that it was the result of
mental Encouragement brought on by years
of suffering from epileptic fits. No other
reason could be given as his financial affairs
were said to be in the most prosperous con-
dition. Vanderbilt came to Glenham Hotel
two weeks ago last Saturday from Florida,
where he had been spending several weeks,
and had previously visited Hot Springs, Ark,
for the benefit of his health. which for the
past year mas Deen very poor. he was az
companied by his friend and travelling COM
panion, George Terry of this city, who has
been with him continually many years in his
journeyings and at his home. Vanderbilt's
condition was such that assistance was liable
to be needed any moment when he might be
taken with epileptic fits and for this reason
a companion was indispensable. They en-
gagged suit of rooms on fifth floor of the
hotel which is the one Vanderbilt always
patronized when he came to this city. Wand
derbilt occupied one of them alone. He was
in his room much Of the time and has been
out but seldom since his arrival here.
The affair during the whole of this time
has been kept profound secret, only known
to immediate friends of the deceased and
people at the hotel had been cautioned to
