cOmmoner of Pennsylvania
When l was in Congress used to be

brella. She handed Mr.. Stevens a card
with the words :
"Abigail Meecham, KennebunkpOrt,
Me-" and said
"Do have the honor of bellDlding
the Hon. Thad Stevens, of Pennsylva-
mia 2"
Somewhat embarrassed, Mr.. Stevens
acknowledged his identity, land asked his
visitor to be seated.
"Thank you, no" was the reply,
"bnt | wish to say, sir, that in my
quiet home down East have heard of
your glorious efforts in behalf of the
ernancipatcd slave, of your heroic treat
ment of the Southern question, and of
your undying hostility to the enemies
of my country, and ] have travelled
hither, sir, to ask the privilege of shak-

Old Thad was for a moment more EN-
barassed than ever saw him before
then he smiled family heput his hand

wig bodily, laid it upon the table, leav-

Mutt murder trial. The point Of his
testimony was that when Mutt was shot
by Dukes he was standing with his
right arm resting on the mantle and his
left arm hanging by his side. He was
exhausted by the struggle with Dukes,
which was just over and was breathing
heavily, and was making no movement
Of any kind.
The prosecution will endeavor to show
that Dukes opened up the correspond
ence with Captain Mutt, and after writ
ing scandalOus letters, invited Mutt to
come to his room for pcaceable settle
ment and then murdered him. The
defence is makinga strong effort to keep
out anything bearing on the contents of
the letters, stating that their admission
was irrelevant.
This afternoon James I. Feather
testified that after Dukes and Mutt had
been separated he pushed Dukes into
one corner. Dukes then said g" He came
in here to whip me and I'll shoot him."
Feather replied: He can't whip you

fired across the room at Mutt, killing
him. Mutt was making no effort To
draw weapon. He was standing at
rest with his right arm on the mantle.
Lewis Williams, who also witnessed
the shooting, cOrrohorated the main
points Of Feathers testimony. On
cross-eXamnation both witnesses be-
came considerably confused, the attor-
ney for the defence showing that their
testimony was in some of its features in
conflict with statements they had made
before the coroner when the inquest was
held.

and at the call for the eleventh round
il was Dextrr's scratch His handler
did all he could to coax him, but he
turned tail and refused to show to the
front consequently the purse and
FIGHT were awarded to Bessie.
