The Death of Fora Burn.

The Death of Fora Burns.
 LINCOLN, Oct. 30.-The sheriff arrived dur ing the night from Dakota with Mrs. Fanny Dukes. sister of the dead girl. This im- portant witness has been placed in conceal ment, as the officers wish to keep from the defense all the evidence they have as much as possible. State Attorney Forrest received to- day the following telegram from o. Gilbert Wheeler, the Chicago chemist in whose hands the alleged blood-stained harness of Carpen- ter's buggy was placed for examination: After most minute and careful search on both the lines and whip discover no indica- tions whatever of the presence of blood either by microscopical, chemical or spectroscopic examination" The mystery has been inten- sifed by the finding at Bloomington near the tracks of the Chicago and Alton road of valise cut open and containing rope knotted after the style of the hangman together with piece of ribbon. The ceroner's jury has thus far accomplished nothing.

Against Her Father-A Little Chfld's
 Damaging TeStimony Against the
 Slayer of Her Mother.
 PHILADELPHIA, Oct 3o.-There was a novel and pathetic scene in the new court house this morning. where Charles Briggs is on trial for the murder of his wife or alleged wife. His child, who Is ten years old and small for her age, was placed upon the stand and her testimony will probably send Briggs to the scaffold. The little girl told the story of the killing with vivid distinctness and her eyi- dence, in which she detailed the previous quarrels of her mother and her father Gas she called Briggs) completely upset the theory which it is expected the defence will adopt, that the man is insane or was go at the time of the killing. The little girl told of repeat ed quarrels between Briggs and her mother and other women and men and unfoldcd an awful story of domestic depravity.

Referring to the result Of the general cleo. ton of last August the commission note that large numbers of liberals refrained from voting, fact much to be regretted for the reason that it Is believed that by proper effort and good management one or more non-M or mons might have been elected to the assem- ply who would have the opportunity of put- ting the majority on record. The test suits recently instituted by Mormons against the members of the commission for depriving them uniustiy of the right to register and vote, and which are said Co be designed to test the constitutionality of the Edmunds act as well as the construction the commis- Bion put upon it's proyisions. are still unds- cided and are likely to be appealed to the Su- preme court of the United Statea. The re. port concludes by asserting Shat the polyga. mic marriages in Utah have decreased since the passage of the Edmunds act and by com lnsnding the zoal of the Governor of Utah in his efforts to enforce the laws.

Lynch arrived at Batavia at 6:05 this evening and proceeded to Roweil's house where he ate supper with Mrs Rowell. About 9 o'clock they retired. MT. Powell who was secreted in the house, having received information of the treachery of his wife, soon after opened the door of the room and drawing revolver fred the ball striking the wall.
