KENTUCKYs SENSATION.
interesting Evidence In the Thompson
Trial.
HARRoDSBJ'ROU.

ADMINISTRATIONS. Ky, MAY l2.-The
trial Of Phil. b. Thompson for the killing
OF Davis was resumed this morning. When
court opened, the Judge decided that In the
testimony OF John Thompson. the witness
on the stand. the statements made 10 him
by Mrs. Phil. Thompson, concerning mat
tiers prior TO the tragedy, were not compe-
tent evidence and could not be admitted.
The court further ruled that the witness,
John -. Thompson, might testify as TO
what information he gave his brother Phil.
about the relations Of Mrs. Thompson and
Davis. To this ruling the commonwealth
objected. The jury, which had retired
during the argument, was recalled. The
witness then stated that his
brothers wife WAS thirty-tiye years
old and Davis twenty eight years
old Mrs. Phil Thompson and Davis, the
witness swore, were often In besotted
condition, during the past two years, and
In that state they frequently drove through
the public streets. The cross examination
was much prolractcd with the view OF
breaking down the defense, as outlined by
u. w. voorhees,. OF the terrible agitation
OF Phil Thompson just before the killing.
Among other things, the fact was brought
out that Phil Thompson, after he made the
speech In court, surrendering himself up,
afterwards wrote II out In full detail for q
reporter. and that in this shape II was
telegraphed all over the country.
Thetcstimony OF James Schuyler, Of the
Gibson House, that Davis stopped there
November 20, was taken. John Ryan,
porter at the Burnett House, testified that
Phil Thompson, on the 2ith OF April, stop
ped nj the Burnett House. His baggage
has been here all day. He took him to his
room after midnight. He walked the hall
tina. He didn' turn the bed cover down
that night. He had his clothes on, hat aud
all, when be called the next morning.
This is evidence as to the state Of Thomp-
sons mind. Miss Jessie Buckner was
called. People fiocked to the courtroom,
crowding It. Miss Buckner arrived and
the testimony is already rested. Three
women in deep mourning arrived. They
were Mrs Davis the newly-made widow,
with her mother and sister. The young
widow buried her face In her handkerchief.
She sa, IN Silence, Miss Buckner said she
told Dayi. he must not give Mrs.
Thompson liquor. II he did he would take
his lie in his hands, for cousin Phil should
hear OF It.

Decision I'm tile Hannibal q 81 Joe
Railroad case.

JEFFERSON CITY, May l2.-The decision
Of Judge McCrary In the Hannibal and st.
Joe bond case was rendered by Judge kre-
KEEL, OF the United States District Court
OF Missouri, yesterday afternoon.
The finding Of the court IL that
the Hannibal h St. Joseph railroad
company stands indebted 10 the state on the
18th OF May In the sum Of S476,O4O, with
interest thereon ut per cent. until paid;
also, that the fees OF the master In chan
Gerry ($3, 500 be assessed against the com.
pany, one half to be deducted therefr0m
on It's making final settlement with the
state. The opinion sustains the report OF
the master In chancery, generally, modify.
ipg IL, however, to the extent OF
reducing the amount reported as due on
the LIST OF January last TO $4,000, which
amount the court holds TO be the
sum required. In addition TO the ~, 00O,-
900 paid by the company in June, 1881, TO
entitle the company TO release OF the
state = lien. and 10 hold the state harmless
from all Indebtedness, due or owing by
said company to the state, and al liabilities
incurred by reason OF the state having is
sued its bonds aud loaned them Of the
company RS a loan Of the credit Of the state.
Under this decision the state IL held for the
$50 900 interest due on the bonds last
January, and the $50, 900 due thereon the
first of July next, aggregating two hum
bred and seventy thousand dollars,
which must come out OF the four hundred
and seyenty-siX thousand and forty mine
dollars. This will leave the State nut u
little over two hundred and six thousand
dollars wherewith TO meet the interest fall
Ing due on the Hannibal and st. Joe bonds
after the first of July next The point made
by counsel for the State, that the State had
no authority to use the money received
from the company " redeem the States
own bonds so long as there was npney
enough for that purpose In the State 5
sinking fund, was sustained by the court.
The decision is entirely unsatisfactory to
the complainants, and not entirely satisfac-
tory TO the state. An appeal TO the Su.
preme Court Of the United States Will prob
ably be taken.

The Tewkesbury Scandal.

hearing to-day Governor Butler introduced
a telegram from the superintendent OF the
Soldiers Home, Augusta, Me-, giving the
cost OF provisions at that institution, which
no claimed was much less proportionatcly
than at Tewkesbury. Francis Is. Records,
professional book .koeper, testified to the
loose system Of keeping accounts at
Tewkesbury So far as he knew there was
no evidence TO show that the superintendent
had received concessions from tradesmen.
The governor here announced that with the
exception OF two or three books and one
witness he had no further testimony to Of
fer. His excuse for protracting the hear.
Ing was that he deemed II his duty to
present accumulative testimony upon GER
tain points In view OF the charges In public
prints that he had proven nothing.

Mixed Marriages Agira,ing Catholics.

ST. LOUIS, May l2.-'Mixed Marri-
ages" Is the subject Of lecture In which
Father Meyer, President OF the ST.
Louis University, set forth the law
and the doctrines Of the Roman
Catholic Church prohibiting Its mem
bers 10 marry out Of the church.
There was time, he said, when such
marriages seemed less blameable, and
therefore. less dangerous than at present.
The authority Of the Popes was
cited TO show that the church condemns
such marriages on the ground that they
are sacrleglous, that they caus, dan
ger OF peryersion to the Roman Catholic
party, and that they are attended with
disastrous influences In the education OF
the children, This subject lis receiving
now, and a number Of books and pamphlets
have been issued recently warning
Roman Catholics against such
unions. In some dioceses the bishops
practically refuse to grant dispensations for
them.
