A couple were recently married In Gosh
en-, N. Y, after courtship extending over
quarter of a century. The local chroniclers
say that so far as could bejudged the course
of their true love has always run smooth,
both families being agreeable" and there
was no visible obstacle to their union years
ago, except that they never before were
quite ready. Friends first laughed and
then teased them, and at last the condition
OF affairs became so much matter Of
course that even gossip forgot to busy itself
about them. The young lady was one Of
| the bellies of the town, and had no lack Of
other suitors, but she turned deaf ear TO

Unsatisfactory.

ST. LOUIS, March l2.-Thc sentence Of
Oby Owen, the deiaulting teller of the
Third National bank, was again postponed
this morning by the United States court,
until Saturday next, as further time is re-
ouired to take Owens deposition in the two
cases pending against his bondsmen. Owen
has been giving testimony almost daily, but
the utmost secrecy has been preserved. 1t
has leaked out, however, that his evidence
is very unsatisfactory, and he has only so
far accounted for little over $40 900 of the
S2OONOO which he embe2zled. The judge
stated that that he would read Owens ted
timony, and that would influence him in
passing sentence.

lMosTowN, Pa, March IF. G. Brock
enridge was on the witness stand this morn
ing in the Dukes Mutt murder case. The
point of his testimony was that when Mutt
was shot by Dukes, he was standing with
him. his right arm resting on the mantel
and his LETT arm hanging by his side. He
was exhausted and breathing heavily from
the struggle with Dukes which was just
over, and making no movement OF any
kind. The defense in cross.exami'
nation of Breckenridge sought to
break him down by showing that
had not testified with absolute certainty TO
these facts, but wanted to. Breckenridge
explained that he was in state of mental
excitement and physical prostration when
the coroner examined him, immediately at.
ter the murder of his uncle,an his recellec-
ton was not as clear then as now.
A. D. Boyd, who opened the case for the
commonwealth, outlined his plan. in which
would be shown that Dukes opened up a
correspondence with Captain Mutt, and
after writing scsndalous and villianous let
tiers, invited Mutt TO come to his room for
peaceable settlement, and then murdered
him. The defense are making an effort to
keep out anything bearing on the contents
OF the letters, stating their admission was
irrelevant.
James ]. Feather testified this evening in
the Dukes.Nutt murder trial, that after
Dukes and Mutt had been separated in the
formers room, he pushed Dukes int one
corner, when Dukes sail, "He came in here
to whip me, and III shoot him." Feather
replied, HE can't whip you now" but
Dukes drew revolver and fired across the
room at Mutt, killing him. Mutt was
making no effort to draw weapon. He
was standing at rest with his right arm on
the mantel. Lewis Williams, who also saw
the shooting, corroborated Feather
in the main points of his evidence.
Both witnesses on cross examination became
considerably confused. the attorney for de.
