Further Evidence Against Senator Dor
sey-The Government Concluding.
w WASHINGTON, March 2.-The govern
ment called Chas. IL. Hooper to the. wit
ness stand in the star route trial this
morning. Witness was bOOkkeeper for
DOnnelI, Lawson a. Co., bankers, of New
York, and identified the warrant drawn
to the order of John NJ. Peck, and depos-
tied by T. w. Torrey, Dorsey's book
keeper, to DOrsey's credit on August
18th, 1880.
Mr.. Bliss pointed out that the warrant
had been drawn on August 10, and bore
Peck's Endorsement, although the evil
dence showed that he was then in New
Mexico.
WILDER IL. Swift and Carl Mcclellan,
former employees on the Bismark Tongue
river route, gave testimony concerning
the service over that route. Mcclellan
corroborated the statements of wit
ness Pennel in many particulars.
He said that John Dorsey told him they
expected to get the service increased,
perhaps in three months, to a tri-weekly,
and in three months more to a daily SER
vice. He expected to lose money on the
weekly service, bnt after the increase he
expected to realize about $150,O00. He
W
was Chairman of the Post Office Commit
tee, and through his influence he expect
ed to get the increase. He referred to
Senator Dorsey and the Second Assistant
Postmaster General. JnO. Dorsey SAID it
did not make any difference whether or
not the carrier got through on time. Jno.
Dorsey said he had an understanding
with the Second Assistant Postmaster
General and said they had organized
ring in Washington. He did not say who
were in the ring, but gathered from the
conversation that they meant himself,
John Dorsey, Senator Dorsey and others.
A number of witnesses were examined
whose statements went to corroborate
those of the last two named.
A. +. Boone was put upon the stand to
identity the papers.
Bliss gave notice that at the next ses-
sion of the court he expected to conclude
the case for the government.
The court then adjourned till Tuesday.

BOLD THEFT OF BONDS.

Seventy Thousand Dollars Taken from
a Philadelphia Safe Deposit Com
pany.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, March "A
sneak thief to-day stole seventy thousand
dollars in bonds of the Peoples Passen-
ger Railroad from the office of the Treas
urer of the Guarantee Trust and Safe De-
pOsit Company, Treasurer Brown had
just cut off the March coupons, laid the
bonds down and stepped into an adjoin-
ing room for moment. When he re-
turned the bonds were gone. One of the
directors of the company was in the
Presidents room and saw a stranger pass
out of the room whence the bonds were
taken, but the idea of robbery did not oc-
cur to him. The market value of the
stolen bonds is about $4,000. There is
no clue to the thief.

but no great change has occurred. DR..
II. Fl. Steiner, of Augusta, his old family
physician, who attended him in previous
critical attacks, has just arrived
from Augusta, and is in consultation
with Drs. Miller and Raines. 1t is
thought the Governor is Just as liable TO
recover as to die. The weather is de-
lightful and i'm every way favorable to his
case. Deep anxiety, however, is felt for
him by all classes throughout the city,
and earnest prayers are offered for his re-
cOvery.
The contest over the award of the street
paving contracts is ended. Capt. VIM.
ID. Grant got them, but has agreed not to
work his conYicts in the city, but in the
stone quarries and other places. Even
this has created bitter feeling on the part
of the friends of free labor as against con-
vict labor. The city saves nearly $4,000,
however, by this award.

DUBLIN, March 2.-The London corres-
pondent of the FreemdR's journal asserts
that warrant has been actually issued
Ior the arrest of the man known as "No.
i" copies of which have been sent to
Liverpool and Birmingham, and there is
reason to believe that he will shortly be
arrested. The correspondent adds
that England has no option but
TO apply to the French and
American Governments, respectively. for
the extradition of Byrne and Sheridan.
II the foreign States think they can Justly

murderers or instigators of the murder

LONDON, March 2.-The Lar Times. in
an article on the application for the extra
dltlon Of Sheridan, points out that the
proviso excluding the perpetrators of
pohtlcal crimes from eXtradition does not
occur IN the Asburn treaty. That treaty,
IL says, does not include murder, and by
ueclslons rendered in New York the crime
OF murder includes being accessory
thereto. The question is strictly legal
one.
Ihe Lac Times says the utmost charge
that can be brought against Sheridan is
conspiracy to murder, and his offense
therefore is not within the strict terms of
the treaty, but the United States has dis
cretlonary power in the matter.

dispatch from Brookville, Pa, saws the
disastrous strike of coal miners, which
has been in progress along the low grade
road, is fast nearing an end. There are

to go into any protective Organization.
One of the leaders of the strike stated to-

the men were unable to hold out longer
and were anxious to resume work. He
said the operators were aided from other
fields, and were supplied with coal suf-
6cient to fill their orders. Business Of

Intense Excitement in Irish Circles
Nitro -Glycerine the Explosive Used.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-MajOr Majendie, of
the Board of Trade, who has examined
the scene of the explosion of Tuesday
evening at Praed street station, states
that every sign confirms his belief that
nitro-glycerIne was the explosive used.
The explosions have caused an intense
excitement in Irish circles i'll London. The
Irish almost unanimously think the out
RACES were due to deliberately planned
Vaccinations of the enemies of the Ma
tiOnal party Of Ireland, who intend to
create an anti-Irish feeling in England. 1t
will be next to impossible, they think, to
have a perfectly impartial jury to try
ODOnnell now. 1t is also remarked that
the explosions occurred at about the mo-
ment Davitt was opening his address in
st. James Hall. 1t is stated that the
police are unaware of the presence in
London OF any of O'DOnOvan R0ssa's
dynamiters. However, all the Irish rem
devious are closely watched.
DUBLIN, Nov. L. United Ireland, the
National League organ, pronOunces the
authors of the explosion in London to be
idiots.
The FreemdR'S JOUr11dI protests against
lrishmen being hastily accused of being
the authors of these Outrages.

Government does not vigorously remOn-
strate with President Al thur against the

is the source.
