THE STAR ROUTES
Mr.. Bliss Address Not Yet
Finished.
Announcement that Defence VIII Not
Speak Premature.
THE STAR ROUTES.

WASHINGTON, May A.--Mr, Bliss continued
his address today, devoting himself more par
tioularly to the testimony relating directly
to the routes and affldavits, Throughout the
day the jury have frequently interrupted Mr.
Bliss to put questions concerning obscure
points of the evidence and this has necessarily
prolonged his address.
Foreman Crane, at one time, interrupted to
inquire why John Dorsey sent two afidavits
concerning one route to Rerden upon the
same day. Mr. Bliss promptly answered that
John Dorsey's statement upon that point W as
lie and the evidence showed 1t. just before
the court adjourned Mr.. Bliss npologized to
the jury for the length of his address, say Ing
that they had shown such interest that he felt
it necessary TO go into certain subjects at
greater length than he had intended. III the
court would adjourn he believed that he
could finish within short time Monday morn
ing.
The foreman of the jury rose and objected to
an adjournment over Saturday. lie said the
jury had been IN court over five months, one
seventieth of an average human lifetime. His
business had been drifting along like ship
without rudder, and moreover he feared that
II the trial we're spun out much further il
would be broughtto TO close hy the death or
sickness Of some OF the jury.
Judge Wylie assured Mr.. Crane that the tri
oil was nearer an end than he imagined. He
believed the present good health of the jury
was owing In degree TO the rest afforded by
an adjournment over Saturday.
Rees Evans and another juror wished Mr..
Bliss TO proceed. He was willing TO listen un-
Ill 10 o'clock at night if necessary.
Bliss regarded the request as a compliment
but was tired and desired TO catch the after
noon train for New York.
Wilson requested Bliss 10 correct an err0ne-
ous impression in regard to Turner, conveyed
by remark in course OF his address.
Mr. Merrick sharply replied The counsel
could defend Turner il they chose TO make an
argument.
Bliss however promised 10 read the passage
in question whom the Court reassembled on
Monday and an adjournment was had
The statement that the counsel for the de-
Tense in the star route trial have decided to
submit their case TO the jury without argu-
ment when the government shall have closed
their summing-up argument seems TO be pre-
mature.

More Suspicious Erasures in the Books.
Bosros, May AIT the Tewksbury hearing
to-day Lorenzo Fairbanks resumed his testi-
mony upon the subject of alterations and
erasures in the cash books. A largo number
of Instances were developed and explained by
the witness, showing erasures of figures re-
lating 10 money belonging to inmates.
Mr.. Brown objected TO some OF the testi-
mony. He claimed that the witness took pains
not 10 explain the real nature OF some Of the
erasures, but the witness replied that his testi-
mony was made IN accordance with facts and
not with regard to its bearing upon anybody.
s.. s. Wrightington, agent of the State board,
testified that he had never received any
watches from Tewksbury belonging to the in
mates, and when inmates had applied TO him
for their money he had sent for it and always
got II. He did not know whether the accounts
were correct or not, but he presumed that If
the inmates money and effects were taken
from them, he would hear OF it through their
complaints, but he did not recall any such COM
plant. The witness said It was not his bust.
ness TO know about the transfer OF paupers and
the memoranda OF their effects.
The witness was further questioned as to the
manner OF sending away paupers and others
and the documents required for making up the
records. Ho said that several hundred had
been sent to Ireland, a very much less number
to England, very few to Germany and none
70 Russia. What had been done 10 these cases
had been done, in his iudgment,for their bene-
fit and the benefit Of the Commonwealth.

THE PACIFIC RAILROADS.
Money DUO For CARRYING the MAILS.

AhOhoy Du6 LOT OhrTyluB bIo hhlS,
New YoRK May A Washington dis
patch says 1t is understood that Secretary Fol-
ger will very soon issue circular Of instruc-
tlon to the proper officers directing that the
money due TO branch lines OF the subsidy rail
roads be paid over. 1t appears that the Paci-
nc railroads applied TO the Presdnnt to have
the money paid TO them under the decision of
Tue supreme Court, and he referred the matter
TO Attorney General Brewster for an opinion,
IL is learned that the opinion of Mr.. Brewster
is that the roads must be paid The opinion
was sent TO Secretary Folger and the latter
will act upon IL at once.
The action will result in the payment TO the
Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads OF
q vast sum OF money, running up into the mil
Hons. Ever since the Thurman bill went into
effect, nndor which the Pacific roads were
charged 70 per cent OF net earnings to satisfy
the claims OF the government, the money for
carrying tho mails and general transportation
OF army and Indian supplies has been withheld
on all the lines operated by these companies
Under this practice various sums due for carry
ing mails, &C., over the Utah, Colorado and
Nebraska branches OF the Union Pacific and
the Southern Pacific and other lines operated
by the Central Pacific Company have been
withheld.
Under the opinion of Mr.. Brewster not only
must these lines be paid hereafter bat what is
past due must be paid off, OF the 5000 miles OF
road operated by the Central and Union Paci-
nc companies, only 34c0 miles. or that actually
built under the subsidy act, is subject 10 the
thurman act and on these lines only can the
government withhold money earned ia trans
portatlon as a set Off for claims against the
compny. The decision will make big hole In
the surplus which has been piled up by the
Post Office Department for the last year.

isting in the Pennington Normal School the
trustees find that the trouble has arisen from
misunderstanding, misrepresentation and sew
eral other causes We exonerate the principal,
@. G. Rounds from any complaint against him
in the hands of the trustees; also. we find that
the action of Miss Perley and Mr.. Philbrook
10 Withdrawing from the school April 10th was
for reasons which, from their standpoint, ap-
peared to them iustifable; aud in accepting
the designations of Messrs. Harper and Phil
brook and Miss Perley, no reflection is made
upon their good character and ability as teach
ers."
more formal report will be made in due
season. The report viii be made public IN
