from Daniel Murphy OF st. Louis, payable
to Murphy's order, had been sent to Brady
for similar corrupt purpose.
They expected to show that they had d.
rect relation to the expedition, and the putting
on of service on certain routes. He agreed
that it was a competent matter for either di-
f-ct or rcross-examination.
The government expected to show to the
jury the corrupt motives on Bradys part.
said NJ. Merrick. and he cited
authorities to show that it was proper to in
vestigate these motives. There was the sim
liar transaction. the same corruption, the
same exercise of duties, the same manipula-
tion as those specified in the indictment.
Here was proof of the corrupt motives of
this man. Could it not be justly inferred
that he had done the same with regard to
the routes set out IN the Indictment
The court inquired if Merrick believed
that it made no difference if the corruption
was charged in relation to certain designated
routes.
The gentleman promptly replied that it
made no difference. They VT uld show that
he dragged his white robes of Office in the
gutter at the bidding and for the pay of other
men in reference to other routes. and that,
too. at the same time the operations charged
in the indictment we're progressing. They
wanted to have it out of his own mouth SO
that they might rebut him. The witnesses
were here prepared for the purpose.
The court again interrupted and asked II
Merrick held that if the facts were proved as
proposed that he could oblige the defendant
to criminate himself.
Merrick contended that he could, and read
further authorities in support of his PROPOSE,
ton. Having voluntarily gone on the stand
the defendant must run the risk of criminat
ing himself, and the reason was plain that
the law did not contemplate farce when
such witness was allowed to testify. Ii
they showed that in and about the same wit
ness who was stepped in villainy. was it nc
competent evidence!
During the deliveryof Merrick's argument
which occupied about half an hour and was
characterized BY its bitterness and scathine
, comments upon Brady, the latter sat with
unmoved composure in the witness box look
ing him calmly in the face.
Without hearing the argument on the par
of the defence the court adjourned unit

ALMOST A DISASTER.
The Railroad Catastrophe that Might
Have Happened.

BoSTON, Mar l6.
A narrow escape from what miget have
been fearful catastrophe occurred Friday
forenoon at the point where the Boston &
Maine and Eastern railroads cross each others
tracks. One train was approaching on each
track and the right of way was given the Bos-
ton & Maine from the signal tower The
engineer of the Eastern train started, how
ever, and the two engines ceme together at
the crossing causing some damage to them,
bus none to the passenger cars. A great ex
eitemeut was caused among the hundreds of
passengers on the heavily loaded trains.
That Engineer Channel of the Boston &
Maine train is blameless in the matter seems
generally conceded. Engineer Judkins of
the Eastern is roughly denounced by many
as guilty of culpable carelessness that might
have resulted fatally. II is explained that
fiues of his engine were leaking badly and
that his attention was distracted from the
signal by this fact. The traffic along both
lines was suspended for about an hour.

The Railroad Consolidation.

Speaking of the combination of the BOs-
ton and Maine and Eastern Railroads the
Boston Journal says:
The next movement will be to present the
lease to the stockholders of the respective
companies at meetings which are to be held
the 2Sth of the present month. \ thorough
canvas of the larger holders OF Boston &
Maine having been made, no doubts are ex-
pressed by officials of the company but that
the measure will be acted upon fayorably.
And as the control of the Eastern is in the
hands of few speculative holders, who have
long been in favor of the lease. there is little
doubt of its meeting their approval.
When the lease will take effect and the
Eastern management be assumed by the Bos-
ton Maine Is uncertain, neither is it settled
that the union will be accomplished. even af-
ter it has been sanctioned by the stockhold-
ers of the two roads.
1t is rumored that the lease is to take effect
April lst, despite the laws OF New Hampshire,
but with the experience of the Lowell and
Concord Railroads recent lease in New
Hampshire courts, we very much doubt that
the Boston 4 Maine officials will take such
unwise action. As regards the adyantage yes
to be derived from the lease, the principal
benefit is claimed bv both of the roads, that
il will be for their mutual advantage. As
regards the public, beyond small say
ing in officials and station facilities at this
end of the line, it is doubtful il the lease
proves beneficial one owing to the fact that
it is a consolidation OF competing AMI parallel
lines. Saneuine officials of the Boston &
Maine claim that the union will result in in
creased net earnings of quarter to half
million dollars.
Upon the contrary, ex-President Phillips is
quoted as stating that the savings had been
greatly over-estimated, and that the terms
hitherto offered by the Boston & Maine would
be detrimental to the future interests Of the
Eastern. If we take the returns of the two
roads, as submitted to the commissioners
last year, there will have to be large saw
ing if the Eastern is to secure dividends un-
der the terms of the lease, as the following
computations. made up from the returns of
1882. will show, due allowance being made
for the increased interest of the Eastern -

Here il will be seen that, everything else
being equal, there must he a considerable in
crease in the net earnings if the Eastern is to
secure dividend of any amount whatever
The Boston & Maine apparently secures the
best of the trade, since the onlv risk il as
sumes is that of the debt of the Eastern. The
development in connection with the earnings
of the Eastesn and Maine Central for the past
few months indicates that the risk is slight
one. and in return the Maine secures com
plete and absolute control of its old-time
rival

It is now estimated by commercial ex-
perts that the new tariff bill will effect a
total reduction, based upon the receipts of
the last fiscal year, OF S11 200, ,000,- 49,
000, 900 in internal revenue and S37 ,000,-
600 IN customs. When Mr.. Morrill, re-
ported the measure from the conference
committee he roughly calculated that the
reduction would be about $40 .000, 900.
OF course, should the importations or the
products internally taxed increase beyond
those of the last fiscal year, that would
swell the receipts. and thus decrease the
figures OF the reduction. 1t is generally
admitted, however. that even with the in
crease of importations which may ensue,
the reduction is as much as could safely
be made.

the party will. The outlook for the pres

Penn, over the acquit;al of y. L. Dukes,
lately on trial for the murder of Capt.
Mutt, of that town. Dukes, had engaged
to marry a daughter of Nuts but had
broken off the engagement. Subsequent
ly Dukes wrote to Mutt series of infa-
nous and indecent letters, assailing the
character of the young lady. Then, pre-
tending that his own life was in danger.
Dukes sought out Mutt and killed him in
cold blood. The verdict in this case is
