the Presilent, but an official exploring party,
and the President is to accompany ii as in

made this year in any event, regardless
whether the President accom- panied th >
party not. 1t is the custom
10 tend out one or more parties
each year TO make explorations for the War
Department. Last year Lieutenant General
Sheridan made an exploration of part of the
Territories of Wyoming, Montana and
Idaho, and several months ago determined
to make an exploring trip. and invited the
President TO accompany him. The President
did not accept the Invitation at the time be-
cause he did not then know whe he
would be able to go. He subseqn az
cepted the invitation, however, aud OTe
stated he will accompany the party as an in
vited guest. but will not consent that the
Government shall be put to any expense by
reason of this acceptance He will leave
Washington time to be present at the
openiI & OF the Exhibition at Louisville on
the LIST of August He will then 60 to
Chicago, and the party will leave that city
August 3 for Fort Washable. From this
point they will follow the route travelled by
General Sheridan last summer until they
reach Hot Springs. They will then branch
off and follow the Yellowstone River as far
as Shields River, In Montana. Prior to his
departure for Louisville the President will
make visit of three days to New York.

COwARDLY ASSASSINATION.
John Burr, a Respected Arkansas Farmer
Murder ed While at Work.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, July 17.-Particulars
of the assassination of John Burr near Big
Lick, in Northwestern Arkansas, last week,
were received to-day. Burr was respectable,
standing high in the community and Church.
He was educated, industrious and enterpris-
ing. On the day of the murder he was piow-
ing in field near his dwelling, in company
with twelve-year-old son. Suddenly man
sprang out from a clump of bushes.
leveled a rifle at him and fired. Toe
ball entered Burr's breast, AMI he
fell on the ground in the agonies of death
His son ran to HIM, and as he did so the as
sassin fled. The boy called to him, ald as
he turned his head the lad saw that the M IT.
derer was white man BACKED with SCOT or
charcoal, bat could not re cOgnize him through
the disguise. Burr died in few minutes.
The trsgie affair caused great excitement in
the immediate locality, the neighbors flock
ing to the scene OF the tragedy for miles
around. The murdered man leaves family
and considerable property. There is no clew
TO the assassin, as Burr was not known to
have an enemy. No arrests have ben made

KELLOGG CASE.

Judge Wylie Dismisses the Pleas in Abate-
ment, Holding the Indictment to be
Good.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-In the Criminal
Court, Judge Wylie delivered an opinion
upon the pleas in abatement by the defense
and demurrer entered by the Government in
the case of the United States against William
Pitt kellogg, charged with illegally receiv-
ing money while United States Senator for
action in connection with the expedition Of
certain Star Routes. The law requires plea
of abatement to be drawn with great exact
ness, said Judge Wylie, as he took up the
fourth plea, based upon the failure of the
Indictment to agree with the presentmeat.
He dismissed this plea because it was not
material. The next plea, charging ker
with illegal attendance upon the sitlings of
the Grand Jury. Judge Wylie said was not
bar ed upon fact. ker was an authoriz al rep
resentative OF the attorney for the United
States and this Dis riot. The pleas attacking
the Grand Jury as illegal, because members
had not been notified five days in advance
that their names had been drawn and be-
cause the notices did not specify the proper
he ur, were dismissed because they did not
egrse with facts, aud were not material. The
next plea, an i'm portant one, said the Court
charged lllePalty In the proceedings, be-
cause vacancies in the Jury, caused by GER
trin persons being excused, had been filled
by drafts from the box instead of by sum-
Il oning talesmen. Instead If picking up
tslesmtn Il Marshal had taken the names
fem the box. The names we're supposed to
rel resent persons legally eli sible. Was that
fat, to the whole panel? asked Judge Wylie,
ana in answer he read number of authori-
ties to the contrary. The fact that names
hs6 been obtained from the box was OBJ
lection, providing the persons possessed legal
qualifications, SAIL the Court, as il dismissed
the plea. Upon the question of applicability
of the act of June 30, 1879 the COurs mad
passed on that in the case of the United
States against Dorsey, holding that the act
was not in force III this District, but even if
the plea were in accordance with the facts,
said Judge Wylie. in summing up, the in
diclment was good because all the pleas of
the United States statutes also governed.
Therefore the pleas were Overruled said the
Court 10 conclusion. Wilson for ex-senator
Kellogg noted an exception, and filed mo-
ton TO quash the indictment, based upon
Ktr's presence in the Grand Jury Room and
UPON imperfections and deficiencies OF the
indictment. 1t was agreed to proceed to-
morrow with the argument upon the motion
to quash, and the case was continued.

omethiDg about Bread Making.

BY the pre- cess of bread Masking it il in
tended to convert the Il ur OF certain grains
into a cellular structure, In which it is most
easily chewed, saturated with The fluids of
the mouth, and digested. La order TO arrive
at this emo, alcoholic fermentati N is res Irted
to from olden times, by introducir he same
in the dc ugh by means OF brewers yeast
Thus q small part of The four is clnvsrIed
into glucose, which again is trsnsf ned into
alcol oil ard caIbonic acid. The 'rmer is
recognized by its peculiar vinous od -, ex
baltd by the loaves when suffi GENTLY Ia sed
Both eases produce the raising of the d0agh /:
that l., the POI Gus and spongy appearance.
by This fermentation the fl our not only
|, ses weight but the bread also attains
qualities which may il jure the proc sss of di-
gesfion.
In order to evade these inconveniencles
chemists have long ago searched tn i'm part
the spongv structure of the dough b. Other
means than yeast, respectively by sub stances
evolving gaseous bodies or which ia the
ovens are TRANSFORMS into gases thsms slves.
To the best known belong the bicarbOuate Of
soda and cream of tar.ar. certainly we'll
known TO all housewives And with regard
to most of the baking powders of the trade,
they are manly preparations containing these
substances. However, it can not be said of
any OF them that they exert beneficial in
huence on the system, not 10 speak OF the
authorizations to which most of them have
lately been subjected.
We are glad to learn that Professor f. n.
H orsford, of Cambridge, Mass. who held the
Chair of Chemistry in Harvard University,
invented, some time since, baking prepare
ton forming an exception to those spoken
of which has already attained universal
reputation.
The idea by which Professor Horsford was
guided, was not only to furnish a substitute
for brewers yeast but also to provide those
nutritious constituents of the flour lost In
the bran in the process of boiling. These are
the so-called phoephates, which are also the
nutiitive salts of meat, and of the utm )st
importance for the building up of the or gam
ism. IL we take into consideration that the
nutritive value of wheaton -four is from II to
10 per cent. less than of the wheat grain, and
that this loss is now restored by Professor
Horsford's invention, then we must look
upon IL as of the greatest National economic
importance. As Justus Won Liebig said:
The result is the same as IL the fertility of
cur wheat fields had been increased by one
seventh or one-eighth."

assertions was that Garfield never promised
Dorsey a Cabinet position, bu. that the latter
intimsied bis desire for it and persistently
pressed his case; that his (Foster's) informR-
tion was that the President limited that he
would off5r such a position If Dorsey would
decline. and thus have something to feel
good over. Mr.. J. y. Hill, of Arkansas.

which he says: Il saw Governor i ,ster at the

said: Part of what | said was left

this be yOur final answer. Go home and re-
feet On it, and you will then accept These
are not the exact words, perhaps, but they
contain the substance of what the President
said Dorsey went 10 Chico Springs, and
from there wrote his final answer declining
