STAR-ROUTE TALK.
Attorney Bliss stin Has the Floor at the End

WASHINGTON, May BIN the star-route

If Dorsey was an innocent man, said he, why
did he continue Rerdell in his employment
after he discussed his character? Why did
he seek to compound felony with him to
prevent him from testifying instead of defy
ing him to do his worst Bliss admitted that
the government witness Moore was not a
man of the highest style, but asked if it was
natural that contractors would employ a
man of high character to do
illegal work. They had threat
ened to call Pelham, Moore's counsel,
to contradict him, but they did not dare do
it; they knew he would corroborate Moore.
The defense sought to make the jury believe
the governments witnesses perjured them
selves from mere pleasure in so doing.

The Dispute Between the Government and
Union Pacific.

WASHINGTON, May 3-Sidney Dillon, pres
ident of the Union Pacific Railway Company,
has written lengthy letter to Secretary
Teller, embodying the views of the directors
of the company upon the question of trans
portation of mail service, the rate of COM
pensation for which is in dispute between
the government and company. The latter
claims that the amount due for postal serv-
ices is 81, $50, ,027; deducting from this the
amount for postal services as fixed by the
department (under the rules applicable to
all other roads, ST. Oil, 1873, leaves the sum in
dispute between the company and govern
ment, 50, 738,SS9. This sum is far in excess
of the balance due the government. The
letter goes on to say that it seems hardly
reasonable to require the company, under
these circumstances, to pay the balance thus
claimed until the questions in controversy
can be judicially settled. The letter has
been referred to the commissioner of rail
roads,

DUBLIN, May 3.-The crown has presented
to the grand jury bills for murder against
Peter lyman, mo. l." John Walsh and P.

Thomas Martin, charged with the same of
Tense, was rejected.
The grand jury also returned true bills
against lyman, Walsh aud Sheridan for muir
der and against Fltzharris as accessory after
the fact. They were sent back to reconsider
the case of Thomas Martin, the bill against
whom they had rejected, and after again de-
Hberatlng for some time returned true bill
against him. True bills were also found
against Edward O'Brien and Edward Nc
Caffrey for participation in the murders of
Cavendish and Burke.
Now that true bills for murder have been
found, it is considered no longer open to the
United States to refuse to extradite Sheridan,

Boston, May 3.-Dr c. S. Martin testified
at the Tewksbury examination to-day. He
was a student at Harvard Medical School
from 1871 to 1874. No babies were ever dis
seeted there, and no infant bodies ever
brought in but once. No dogs nor cats were
ever dissected, consequently their remains
never mingled with those of human beings,
as asserted in previous testimony. About
$40 was paid for bodies; knew nothing of the
disposition of the remains after dissection.
Lorenzo S. Fairbanks testified that he had
examamined the books in which Charles B..
Marsh had recorded the money of patients,
and there are fifty-four erasures and
alterations, forty-seven of which were
of figures in the money columns.
These books cover from 1868 but for the
first ten years of the present management no
books can be found.
The Governor then took the history book
and read that an inmate named Allen had
died in 1877, leaving SAG on the money book.
Aliens assets appeared as 81, and the book
erasure looks as If changed from $46. Another
book showed that 81 was paid to the State
Jane McGraty took $50. 55 to Tewksbury, but
was credited with 1888, and the book
showed that an erasure had been made in
the most suspicious manner. Elizabeth
Barry was credited with 81 in the history
book. but on the money book the figure a
had been altered to l.
Fairbanks testified that in a number OF
entries on the money book relating to the
assets of other patients, erasures had been
made most skillfully so as to make the
amounts less than origin nally entered.
The House to-day voted 100000 to the
Tewksbury almshouse, which is the same ap-
preparation as in the vetoed charities bill
Marsh, superintendent of the Tewksbury
almshouse, did not file bond when elected
in July last, as required by law. This causes
a new omplication.
The executive committee of the board of
health, lunacy and charity decided, in the
absence of a bond, to consider vacant the
Office of superintendent. Marsh will not be
removed, not legally holding any position.

the Legislature would appropriate a sum
equivalent to $4,000 year. If any of the
appropriation remained unexpended he
would turn the residue over to the State
treasury; if the expenses exceeded the
amount appropriated he would pay the ex-
cess out of his own pocket. To show that
the institution was properly cared for he
would allow a committee of the Republican

boards action in applying to the Attorney
general for arr opinion regarding their au-
thority to assume the duties of the trustees
of the Tewksbury almshouse, says: Your
board never has received any opinion of the
Attorney-general or his assistant on ques-
tions of law relating to the duties of the
board but on the contrary, your board
and its predecessors, the boards referred to in
your letter, have over and over again re-
quested snch opinions and often been inform
ed during the last ten years that you could
not have such opinions, and those letters
should be on file in your Office and ought to
have been in the memory of the secretary
and actuary." The Governor incloses Ethe
Attorney-Generals opinion on the subject
which will, he says, show them they had
better get a secretary and actuary with
better memory, or at least one who can use
it more effectively in the stating of facts.'

In private letter to the editor of the

adventure, the particulars of which are
worth relating. He says:

I got my wife out of the coach, and then
got on the box to hold the team while
the other passenger held the leaders.
and the driver attempted to repair the
broken tug. At his first attempt, how
ever, the wheelers plunged, the leaders
knocked the little passenger down, and
in a second was going down coulee
with four mad horses in front, a light
coach behind, and a strong conviction in
my mind that was shortly to give up
all the ghost had with me. However,

the coulee, although every plunge nearly
hurled me from my seat. I got my arm
around the upright which supports the

The scheme succeeded. The wheelers

jumped from the coach and ran back to
my wife, whom found half a mile be-

the further bank of the coulee with
