 tendant Sheedy sat by and introduced strang-
 CTS. Finally L. M. Whitman took the stand.
 This witness said he saw Dunn enter the
 place, walk rapidly down the supper room,
 draw a revolver, take aim and fire two shots
 In succession at Elliott, who had his back to
 the would-be assassin. stHe took deliberate
 aim," said the witness with emphasis
 Next he saw Elliott raise his chair, then
 came the grapple, next the two men went down with Elliott under. Immediately after
 he heard four shots and an exclamation from Dunn, "The I've got it down on him now" fDunn looked dangero us the thought struck me the moment I saw him that he meant murder"
 At this point two witnesses for the de- fence were elected from the room and an at- tachment was issued for Appetite Bill who responded @ few moments later. He said that in conversation at various times be- tween February 1st and the day of the murder Dunn had repeatedly called Eli ott coward and cur and had threatened to "cook him" the first time he met him. On one occasion Langdon replied that Elliott was strong man and dangerous man to fight with. 'fIts no matter" was Dunn's reply, ''he is near sighted and if he gets 8 Dau lnto ms DeuY VIII nRnt nKe oog. have got the best of it, All Langdon saw of the affray was Elliott advancing upon Dunn after the first shots. Elliott's hands were empty. A vigorous cross-examination only strengthens this testimony. The State closed and the defence opened by calling w. Pinkerton and Mike Mcdonald, the latter being the notorious king of the northwestern gamblers. Neither saw the shooting, but testified to threats having been frequently made by Elliott against Dunn. Under rul- ' ng of the court Mcdonald was allowed to give 8 resume of Elliott's career. Dunn's friends are Respondent tonight and little ak of an acquittal is indulged in.

Death of General Grants Mother.

Death of General Grants Mother.
 JERSEY CITY, May 11.-Mrs Jessie Grant, the mother of General U. s. Grant, died at her home here to-day. Mrs. Grant has for several years, and in fact ever since the death of her husband at Galena, lived with her daughter, Mrs. Corbin. on Bergen heights, and her son in a quiet and unnoticed way has been her most frequent visitor. A deep af- lection existed between the general and his mother and he has written more letters to her and paid more visits even in anxious hours when engaged in matters of national importance than he ever did to any score of other persons. She was born of lowland Scotch parents in Bucks county, Pennsylva- mia, and came of d sturdy stock, the name Simpson, which is represented by the ''S. " in General Grants name, being common to the lowlands and to the north of England. She has been an invalid for years, but up to the day of her death was fine looking gray haired woman much under the medium height, but extremely ladylike and much loved by all who knew her.
 Mrs Grants death was caused by heart disease and was sudden and quite unexpected despite her age, 94, and the fact that for years she has not been we'll This morning she seemed well and sat at the window read ing papers until eleven o'clock, when she was seized with pain in the breast and re- moved at once to bed. She died before 8 physician could reach the house. The flu neral will take place on Saturday and the remains will be taken to Spring Grove cem- etery, Cincinnati, for interment.

Congressman Thempson's Trial - Mrs.
 ThOmpson's Relations with the Mur-
 dered Man.
 HARRoDsBURG, May 11.-In the Thompson trial counsel argued on the admissibility of the evidence of Mrs. Thompson's and Davis doin gs in Cincinnati and Senator Voorhees, argued that the door had been opened by the prosecution for showing the state of Thomp- sons mind at the time of the killing by ad hitting the statement of the witness Smith to the language used by Thompson after the killing. The court after listening two hours shut down on further argument of the ques- tion. Judge Harder said he would only decide as to the competency of this class of testi- mony. He would have to take the matter into consideration in charging the jury, therefore he admitted the testimony. The commonwealth reserved an exception. The jury and Mrs. Roth were then recalled. Mrs. Roth said Mrs. Thompson came from the Burnett House to the St. Clair Hotel with Miss Josie Buckner. She saw Mrs. Thomp- son and MT. Davis at 10:30 at night and took her to Miss Buckner's room. She was too drunk to stand straight. q saw her into Miss Buckner's room and left her there John Maner, our elevator man, told me when I came up at 9:3O that Mrs. Thompson and Mr. Davis had come up together and were together in Davis room No.l9 John Maner, the watchman at the St. Clair Hotel, took the stand and corFeborated Mrs. Roth's tes- timony.

The HIII Charges-Congressman Nurch
 Calls for Certain Papers-A Threat to
 Lay the matter Before COngress-Other
 Facts of More or Less Interest.
 WASHINGTON, May 11.-Mr. Murch states tonight that unless certain papers which he has demanded from Architect Hill are fur nished him he will abandon the investigation so far as the Treasury department is con cerned and lay the subject before Congress- MT. Hill states that only two papers have been asked for which were not furnished to MT. Murch. One of these is not in existence and the other, which is report of some re- marks made by Mir. Murch before 8 commit tee setting forth the reason why certain work should not be done by contract, but by day labor, cannot be found.
 Up to 8 late hour tonight not 8 word of official information had been received by Secretary Lincoln from General Crook since the 3d inst. when he left San Bernardo Springs in pursuit of the Indians No anxie- ty is felt at the War department regarding General Crooks safety because of the non receipt of information from him. The ex- pression is general at the department that as he had an ample force from which to select picked followers he is amply capable of talk ing care of himself. In due time, perhaps in a day or two and perhaps not for a week or two, he will be beard from. The pub Ished reports from Texas and Arizona con- corning General Crooks movements and the movements of Mexican troops are considered utterly worthless and unauthentic at the de- partment.
 Mr. Wilson occupied the entire day in the Star route trial with continuation of his argument for General Brady. Taking up the matter of the productiveness of routes he argued that other circumstances far more important than produetiveness were to be considered. He claimed that General Brady in expanding the postal service only did what was proper and had no intention of wrong ing the government.

Jere Dunn's TriaI-Damagfng Testimony

 CHICAGO, May 11.-Unless the testimony given at this afternoon's session is seriously undermined by the defence Jere Dunn is in a fair way to see the inside of a State peniten- tiary for good term of years, if indeed he escapes the gaIlows. When the court reas- sembled after dinner and it became bruited about that important witnesses were to be put on the stand the excitement became ex- treme and three times as many people as the court room could contain elamored at the door for admission. William Langdon (Ap- petite Bill,) proprietor of the Tivoli, was called, but failed to respond. In the interval Dunn held leyee with his friends and ad- mirers, comprising an array of plaid suits, big watch chains and resplendent with dia-

 BOSTON, May 1.-The executive committee of the Baptist Missionary Union met at Ire mont Temple this afternoon to take action on the charges made against their treasurer and issued statement pronouncing the charges of bad faith, discrepancies in ac- counts and speculation in stocks by one of it's officers entirely without foundation. The statement says every dollar of the money re- ceived by the treasurer has been accounted for and vouched for, all expenditures are on file in the office. The accounts of the treas urer and his vouchers for disbursements have been examined month by month by an auditing committee not members of the ex- ecutive committee appointed by the board of managers. The certificates of the auditing committee to April 1st of the present year are also on file and they certify that the &C., counts are correctly cast and properly vouched. There is not the slightest evidence for the belief that single dollar has come treasurer which has not been duly accounted

HANGMAN'S DAY.

An Italian Murderer Hung-He Re.
 nOunces His Faith on the GallOws.
 WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., May 11.-Angelo Cornetti, the murderer of Daniel Cash, a fel- low convict at Sing Sing prison on December 31, 1881, was hanged in the prison yard here at 7:34 this morning. About three hundred persons witnessed the execution. When the hangman, accompanied by four deputy sher- ifs, entered the prison to lead him forth to tbe gallows, he began to shriek and cry out with fear. Religious exercises were con- ducted by Chaplain Edgerton. The Nine tieth Psalm and the collect for persons about to be executed were read, prayer was of fered by the chaplain, the Lords Prayer was repeated by Cornetti and the benediction closed the services. When the hangman advanced to pinion his arms and place the black cap over his head, the doomed man shrieked out 'EMe-a is Democrat, "by which expression he meant to say, "I am 8 Prot estant." It seems that Cornetti had for some time entertained the idea that Catho- lies only were hanged for the commission of crime. For this reason he had renounced his allegiance to the mother Church and become 8 Protestant. The prisoner, pale with fear, and crying "CosG fate-what are you doing?" was led beneath the beam. The black cap was drawn over his face, and a moment later the rope was cut by Sheriff Horton. The body leaped into the air and after few convulsive move ments hung motioniess. At the end of twelve minutes Dr. Hodgson pronounced life to be extinct and four minutes later ordered the body to be cut down. The body was then placed in pine box and taken to the county burial ground at East Tarrytown.
 Cornetti was serving two years sentence for having beat out his wtfe's brains in drunken brawl in this city, and he had but two months longer to serve when he killed the fellow convict for which crime he expia- ted his life on the gallows.

Excitement in COmmOns-The Ministry Dodge An Issue by Adjourntng the House.
 LONDON, May Il.-In the House of Com mons this afternoon, the question having been proposed as to what action if any the government had taken in regard to the al- legged kidnapping of Maceo and his compan- panions, the Cuban refugees, across the line at Gibraltar, the excitement in the House WAS great when the government was asked concerning letters reported to have been re- ceived from Maceo complaining not only of the failure of the government to protect him in his rights, but of the treatment he was receiving from the Spanish authorities. An embarrassing situation was only avoided by an adjournment. The ministry did not care to face the: situation after having met with it's defeat of ten days policy The Irish members were aggressive and accused the government of having acted in a cowardly way in not having demanded the return of the refugees taken from En- glish territory by Spanish officials on solely political grounds. Some of the Scotch members offended at what they regarded as the vacillating policy of the ministry showed little inclination to support the administration and the conservatives were likely to draw the party line very closely if any question arising out of the matter should come to vote. The ministry evidently felt itself at disadvantage and was quite willing to take advantage of the chances of recovery during the fortnight's vacation. An adjourn ment resolution was suddenly sprung and the Speaker hurriedly announced the ad- journment of the House for the Whitsuntide holidays.
