sation in Court-Arguments Ready.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, Mar. 13.-When the
Dukes-Nutt murder trial was resumed this
morning Joseph Mutt, son of the deceased,
was put on the stand to prove that he had seen
Dukes drop an anonymous letter, rejecting
on his sister, in the road near his fathers
house. This evidence was ruled out. The
letters which Dukes had written to Capt. Mutt
were then offered in evidence, and notwith-
standing the strenuous protest of the defense
were admitted They were read to the jury
by Mr.. PlayfOrd, and created profound SEN
sation in the court room. In point of infamy
they were fully up to expectation. Dukes
acknowledges unsolicitcdly that he had en-
joyed Illicit intercourse with Capt. Nuts
| daughter and gives alleged town rumors af-
fecting her character. In closing, ho eX-
presses his opinion that Miss Mutt is in q
delicate condition, and inferentally suggests
| to Capt Mutt that an abortion might save the
honor of his daughter and family. The prose-
| Cution here rested
The defense in opening, proved that Dukes
had said to Mrs. Jennings, as she left the
room after tho meeting, that he was sorry for
what he had DONE but he had acted only in
self defense, as Capt. Mutt would have killed
him If he had not killed Mutt.
The most important evidence for the pris.
onor this forenoon in the Dukes Mutt murder
trial was the letter Of Capt. Mutt threatening
to take Dukes's life until the latter should
make reparaton for the ruin of his daughter
The letter was very emphatic, and distinctly
tells Dukes that if he did not do his duty AZ
q man he would have to suffer death. Tho
testimony ofthe commonwealth that Dukes sho
| Mutt when the latter was resting and making
no threatening movements was practically
unshaken. After large number of witnesse,
had been examined to show good character
for Dukes the case was closed so far as evi
dence was concerned, when the court adjourned
until morning. The addresses to thojury will
be made tomorrow, and by evening the cast
will be in their hands.

fessions He yesterday received the follow
ing letter in reference to one portion of the
confession of Edward Berry which was pub
lished in THE REPUBLICAN on Monday,
which confirms Berry's statement and shows
that the writer has a pretty correct idea OF
the reason why the goods stolen were never
returned:

between Ninth and Tenth, In December, 1882 was
at the house Of Mrs. Col. Asmurssen, No. 033 |

The police department was informed at once
through telephone, and sent an officer TO take d
list of the stolen goods. Later in the night, Nc
Dewitt called TO whom messenger had been sent
and promised to do all he could never hearu
that anything was dane in the cose. As no reward
was offered no goods were returned

SOMETHING ABOUT COACHES,
A Visit to Adams Il Brothers, Es.
tRblishment.

"A day or so ago u reporter droppe,
into Adams q Bros immense store OF
Market street, above Fifth, to take J.;
look around and was escorted by Mr.
Adams through the store on the lower
floor, and then up II flight of steps to a
second store room above Before hi
had been up there many minutes, he
came to the conclusion that if ther,
WAS one thing in this world that Mr.
Adams knew more about than another
it's baby coaches, of which he has an
endless variety.
The reporter gaZed in amaZement at
the many different kinds to which his
attention was called, and although he
has no usr for that peculiar article him
SELF was almost led to wish that he had.
Tier" were coaches Of all shapes, sty le,
and kinds, and h" was aStoni,hrd when
told that one he was examining, and
which to his inexperienced mind was
worth about so was sold for s.. eff
that is your five dollar coach, what
Kind Ito you have for ten dollars, "
asked the reporter. "W"!I, here is a
ten dollar coach" said Mr.. Adams,
and amt she Il beauty" as he sill
down in il and pushed himself back
ward and forwards over the floor. The
reporter agreed that it was Il beauty,
and mentally pondercd what size IA
baby would have 10 attain before it
would be heavy enough to break that
coach down.
There were coaches with the bodies
made of Stats, others with basket bodies,
some composed of reeds, still Others
made Of rattan with patent dash pro-
tector to keep Mr.. Baby from kicking
the clothes over the front, and guards at
the sides 10 prevent the mschevous
little hands from being caught in the
spokes of the wheel.
Some had parasoI tops, while in others
the infant is protected from old SOILS
beams by II patent adjustable canopy
that can be placed in any position, or
taken off altogether. The prices range
from IS to $50, and the variety is so great
that no one,nOt even the most tastidiOus,
could fail being suited.
In answer to Il question Mr.. Adams
said that the fashion in baby coaches
change almost every year last season
nearly everybody wanted n brown
coach, while this year the demand is
for blue. Mr.. Adams said as Il general
hing, the first baby is the best baby,
md gets the highest priced coach. After
4 glance 1t the large stock Of toys and
games, the reporter took his leave, with
his mind so stored with information
tbou' baby con ,heS that when h. met
me On the street he was able to discern
1t glance, not only the particular
Kind, but To form a pretty correct idea
whether or not it was occupied hy the
best baby.

One of the notable dress
garnitures received from
Paris on Friday last is a plain
camel's-hair with large con-
ventional figures Of a pair Of
peacocks standing face to
face on an ornamental brack-
ct, the tails expanded into a
scroll border. The figures
are three by five inches in
size, and three inches apart /;
of two colors; terra Gotta and
green, or salmon and green.
These strong figures are up
on ivory-white, or light-blue,
or dark-blue, or rk-brown
ground of plain camers-hair,
as plain and severe as if no
decoration were thought OF.
To make this singular
piece Of work two cloths are
woven, mostly separate; the
camels-hair and, back Of it,
semi-detached, a thin raw
stuff. Where the figures
come out, the raw silk is
brought forward and inter-
woven with the camels-hair.
$3.50 a yard. There is no
plain stuff to match, as might
be expected from all recent
presidents.

it is playing may be seen in

nut, where a number of these

verse garnitures are gather
