THE STAR ROUTE.
Mr.. Kerr Reviews Bradv's Testimony.

WASHINGTON. April 20.
When the star route trial adjourned Thurs
day, Mr.. Ker had just begun the review OF
Brady's evidence, and he continued his ar
gument upon the same subject this morning.
carefully anslyzing that testimony, pointing
out its inaccuracies, and placing it in strong
contrast with Rerdell's testimony where the
last named person had dwelt upon the same
poinss.
wnen Ker said that Brady had admitted
sending the note to Walch appointing an in
terview at Sheridan's house, Carpenter OBJ
jected, saying that he was going beyond the
evidence, and some time was consumed IN a
search for testimony on the point.
Walsh's testimony was next taken up, and
many contradictions between Walsh and
Brady were pointed out.
Ker regarded it as a peculiar circumstance
that Brady, while worth half million of
dollars, had regarded it as necessary to con-
tinue in the comparatively small office Of
second assistant postmaster general. lie
hous nf up every second band paper that was
for sale in Washington, rented every paper
throughout the country which could be rent
ed, and bought up every impecunious cor
respondent that could be corrupted; in other
words Brady pursued the same course toward
Newspapers that his colleague Dorsey had
pursued toward the administration.
Wilson objected in vigorous terms to this
departure from the evidence, and called upon
the court to restrain the gentleman.
The court accordingly adiured Mr.. ker to
clip the wings of his Imagination and confine
himself strictly to the evidence.
In explanation of a point in his argument,
Ker displayed map of one of the routes to
the jury. The foreman protested that as far as
he was corcerr they were all photographed
upon his nj I'd, and passed the map to an
other juror.
Ker proceeded to review Brady's orders
upon the routes, beginning with the route
from kearney to Kent, taking them up in
order.
Paper after paper was taken up, and atten-
ton directed to marks of fraud in petitions
and affidavits, as shown by the papers and
supplemented by testimony. Brady was de-
nounced as a self constituted director of the
treasury, as the man who ruled his depart
ment according to his whms and who said that
he was not in an increasing mood" upon
certain days. The route from st. George to
Greenhorn was next taken up, and the testi-
mony concerning it was reviewed with par
ticularity.
Before Kerr had concluded this branch of
his argument, the court adjourned till Mon
day.

Many persons who are familiar with the
details of the shocking Newhall House
disaster will be glad to know that George
Scheller, the barkeeper, who has just been
tried on a charge OF setting fire to the no.
tel, has been acquitted. So far as the
facts have been published. it has long
seemed evident to impartial readers that
there was strong effort on some ones
part in Milwaukee to make Scheller a
scapegoat for the hotel managers and the
proprietors sins of omission touching re-
pairs and precautions against fire. 1t did
not work. Scheller has been acquitted.
and the shouts OF joy with which the YER
dict was received are in pleasant contrast
with the threats of lynching uttered when
the poor fellow was arrested.

A NEW TRICK.
Attempt to Connect Blaine With the
Hill Affair.

BosToN, April 20.
Washington special to the Journal says
that some one has attempted to do a con-
temptable thing to the injury of Mr.. Blaine,
in connection with the charges against Super
vising Architect Hill, and it reflects no credit
upon those who prepared Mr.. Murch's
charges.
In one of these papers there is written in
black ink in bold letters the sentence, flames
G. Blaine is or was interested in the company
and profted largely by the transactions"
The company referred to was the Bodwell &
Collins Granite Co. Yet before the charges
were presented, this sentanoe had been erased
with very faint marks.
On the first inspection it was difficult to
notice that it had been erased at all. The
purpose which was doubtless aimed by the
one who drafted the charge, was that the
name of Mr.. Blaine should be publicly con-
nected with the matter, which it was, the
newspapers in giving a synopsis of the charge
having mentioned Mr.. Blaine's name. The
error was natural, as the erasure was so
faint as to be almost impossible to detect il.

The Flames of Etna.
PHENOMENA ATTENDING THE LAST ERUPTION
OF THE SIciIIAN VOLCANO.

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Naples, gives some interesting
details of the eruption of Mount Etna. AT

lapilli fell. But so dense the cloud of
smoke and fine ashes in which the mountain
was enveloped that even at the foot of Etna.
only occasionally. when there an open
ing in the cloud, vast column of fire could
be seen ascending from the principal crater
The obscurity, however, ip which everything
was involved served to render the scene more
alarming. The eruption commenced on the
night of the 10Th of March, and from three
o'clock in the morning till six o'clock on the
following morning ninetv-two undulsting
shocks of earthquakes were felt. They
continued after that time, though with less
violence. till on the night of the 22d, two ter
rible shocks were felt at Nicolosi, and an
other on the night of the 23d- 1t would APP

which is regarded as an indication of vet
greater disasters. Many families have aban-
doned the points most threatened, as Nicolosi
and Belpasso; but those that remain sleep in
the open air, and the troops who have been
sent are engaged in erecting tents or breaking
down walls and houses IN danger of falling
Great exertions are made to keep the people
from the churches, which on the occasion
of such awful events are always sure to be
crowded. A sense of security is felt within
these sacred buildings, though there are no
places where there is greater insecurity.
Happily. no human victims-are reported up
to the Esd: and it may be explained by the
fact that shocks of earthquake occurred
principally by day, when people were on the
alert. But much damage has been done to
property. In some small villages on the
middle of the mountain, houses have been
thrown down, and little chapel at Macehia
has fallen. At Zatfarana six houses were
ruined, and the facade of the church; while
the barrocks of the Carbineers were assured.
Other churches and houses are reported to
have been damaged, but it would be an end
less task to note all. Wherever buildings
are in dangerous state orders are given to
demolish them directly. Further intelligence
is anxiously expected; for though there was
Z short cessation of the shocks, and people
in some places were resuming their usual oc-
equations, the mountain was dischargiag its
contents abundantly, and no one could say
that the danger was entirely removed
