turbng element, but not in the same sense tha'
it was last year. The Republicans Will nave
no occasion for timidity, explanations or eS-
cuses this year, as on that question they nave

the issue than they did last year. General

because the place is mere tgule-head, not

not a case of sour grapes. A mere figure
Governor can sometimes make himself very
disagreeable, as we have seen this year in Mas
sachusetts. But should the improbable happen
in the election of Democratic Governor and
Legislature in Ohio, the lack OF veto power
wonld make the Governor worse than figure

power he would have been politically ruined as
being associated with Democratic LegiSa-

himself even with the veto power.
The great Bridge was opened with appropri-
ate ceremonies yesterday, the 0ratiOns even tit
ting the occasion in length az well as brilliancy.
Although the streets were thr0ngcd and the
two cities were in holiday attire, nothing hap
pened to disturb the rejoicing. The benighted
Aldermen who protested against opening the
structure on the Queens Birthday seemed to
have forgotten that circumstance in their eager
ness to get front seats while the dy namlte adj
vocates would gladly have kept them COM
pany. The people of the two cities certainly
have reason to feel proud of the greatest bridge
the world ever saw As Mayor Low well said,
if is in all respects Al, American enterprise-not
excluding the cost, which will he about
$40 O00, 600. The Bridge is open for travel,
but it is not yet finished. 1t will lie some weeks
before the cars will run over It, and still longer
before the work on the appro will be all
completed. 1t would be a happy thing If the
ia Spayers could only say thatit was all paid for.
But as it will increase the value of property, If
will in time pay for itself. The successful end
ing of this enterprise may be expected to give
an impetus to similar undertakings. a company
WAS formed some years ago to buid a bridge
across the East River at Blackwell's Island, an
other one is talked Of between Williamsburg
and New-York, and also one to Staten Island
over the XII won Kull.

WASHINGTON, April 6-The Jeanette
Court OF Inquiry convened to-day. The
Judge Advocate announced he had re-
ceived communication from DR.. Collins,
enclosing thirty.fve questions which he
desired to have put to witnesses. Fireman
Bartlett was called and the questions read
to him. In reply the witness said Collins
(deceased) had the position OF officer on
board the Jeanette; he was saluted as such
and was always treated with the same
courtesy as other officers. Witness never
heard Captain De Long speak an unkind
word 10 Collins. After the Jeanette was
lost and when their party reached land there
wasa discussion asto the fate Of other parties
and the witness volunteered to attempt to
search for them at once, but was prevented
by the general opinion OF the whole party,

shircrcr suddenly Restored.
FosToRIA, o., april G.-An exceedingly,in-
teresting case developed here today. Early
this morning reporter was informed
that Mrs. Rev. A. B. Leonard, who has
been an invalid for nearly ilve years, suffer.
ing excruciating pain, and who has been
confined 10 her bed for past eleven weeks,
had risen, not only improved, but, appar.
emily, entirely cured. Acting upon the in
formation the lady was visited at her resi-.
dence this morning. She welcomed the
reporter with pleasant smile and, in
reply to m interrogation, said: II have
been suffering extreme agony for nearly five
years and have been confined to my bed
for the past eleven weeks entirely. Physi.
clans have been unable to relieve me, aud
the operation performed on me some two
years ago only made matters worse. have
been praying increasingly for some time,
rs have also my husbands and friends.
Last night suffered unusually severe pain.

than ever before. ] prayed 10 be relieved
Of my sutleriDgs and asked God to show by

swered. saw the light and the pain be.
gan leaving my head and passed down to
my limbs. l arose and went into the
sitting room until | heard the folks
returning from supper. l could not
tell them my good fortune then, and
went back TO bed. THE pain generally left
my limbs until this morning, when arose,
as feel perfectly cured. II is the first time
for nearly five years that l have been per.
fectly free from pain. As | promised in my
prayer, l shall devote my entire life TO Gods
work"
Mrs. Leonard interrupted her cxplana.
ton frequently with exclamations 10 the
Almighty. She broke down IN tears ire.
quenlly and the interview was; on the
whole, extremely touching. She is the
daughter OF ex-Mayor Rigby. Whatever
may be the cause OF the lady's sudden re.
covery, it is certainly very remarkable.
She ascribes her recovery TO no other
agency but that Of the Supreme Beings.

NRw YoRE, April G.-The Rev. W. H.
II. Murray, better known as Adirondack"
Murray, about whom story was recently
published from Boston, concerning an
alleged escapade IN Texas, is at the Astor
House. When asked to-day about the
truth oi the story, that he had fed from
San Antonio to escape his creditors, he
replied: 4 4 -s ~ /
"There Ia not aword Of truth in thewhole
Of it. l left San Antonio openly, and was
seen by fifty people. who knew me when l
bought my railroad ticket. caine right
through by rail to New York, and did not
sec any lady with whom was aC-
quainted on the entire trip. This new at.
tack on me comes from George F. Field, a
partner in my lumber company in Texas.
No; don't say that, for don't positively
know It; but ! am morally certain of
it. Field was q partner, together with
myself and two others, in the saw mill
company, being managing partner. He
agreed to put 81, 600 into the concern, but
only put in Sl,l00. he then sued the
other partners for $3.50, and on that small
sum attached the property OF the company.
1t Is too late for me to prepare any connect
ed story Of the trouble, but you can say that
the attacks on Mr.. Murray are from a part
nership dispute, which has been taken into
the United States Court for adjudication"
"What about the statement Of your in
debtedness Of $1,000 in Texas" was
asked.
"Thats another lie. don't owe any
thing In Texas. Well, yes, there are two
men that personally owe perhaps $500.
But you Cau say that Mr.. Murray does't owe
$500 to anyone in Texas, nor does the
partnership owe ANYTHING"

They found upon him diary which con.

compounds. Dalton here reiterated the
denial, already made several times, that
he had not the slightest acquaintance with
the other persons or any knowledge of
them. Norman's counsel, VIM. Daveton
Smith, (the other prisoners having
no legal advisers except as he
stated incidentally for them), made
little comment on the testimony
and confined his remarks to an urgent
appeal on the question OF bail, which he
asked to be allowed 10 give for his client.
He said Norman had been in the country
only about two weeks. Judge lngham
refused to grant the request Of Gallagher
and Norman. Their money will be re-
stored 10 them. In closing the preliminary
examination the Justice said he would
remand them until Thursday without bail.
Additional precautions have been taken
to grard the Bow street prison, and the
prisoners Norman, Gallagher, Wilson and
Dalton are fully watched.

WASHINGTON, j. c., April 6.-The Star
route trial bids fair 10 run into hot weather.
There seems to be no end to the number ol
witnesses. and because OF the indefinite
time the trial will continue it has been
found necessary to establish special
branch OF the Criminal Court OF the Dis.
trct to dispose OF the large number ot cases
upon the docket, among them, eight or ten
indictments for murder. The present Star
route trial has now consumed four months,
and is likely to require two months more
before verdict is reached. The proceed.
ings are OF little interest generally, and the
court room is rarely crowded or even COM

Barnnn's Pilot BeconiIng UnrnIy and
LXIeInnh. IInA In he Killed.


NEw York, April G.-Barnum's big ele
phant Pilot has been acting very ugly iol
several days past. lie became almos
entirely uncomfortable on Wednesday. liz
was put through course OF discipline
with the hope OF bringing him to terms
At night he became worse, aud at 4 O'Clock
this morning he had to be shot. George
ABtingal, Pilots manager, said to-day
that Pilo! wSs q bad elephant every spring
and this time he continued his tantrums &c
long, that it was deemed only measure oI
safety 10 end his existence.
The methods by which elephant keepers
maintain discipline among their charges
has been frequently described. Ordinarily
it consists in Furnishing them by beating
whenever they give evidence OF ill.temper.
RopeSa are fastened around their feet, which
are then. drawn together by the aid Of Il
block and tackle, and the huge beast Is
thrown helplessly on'its side. In this pre-.
dicament it is beaten with clubs until he
trumpets in sign OF submission, when he il
at length released, restored to the good
graces oi his keeper, and becomes docile
and obedient.
After Pilots didos Yesterday, the policy
was tried on him. He fought viciously,
resisting for long time the efforts Of his
keepers to manacle him, and It was only
with the assistance OF the two other large
elephants, who crowded against him. and
thus preventing his turning around, that
he was finally thrown. Then the beating
began, but after four hours cudgeling his
keepers agreed that the risk Of permitting
him TO live was too great, and Mr.. Bailey
spoke his death warrant.
His keeper armed himself with a large
navy revolver, and shot him, as he lay ON
his side, sending two bullets between his
fore legs, In search Of his heart, and one
under his left eye. He seemed 10 pay no
attention to the shots, but the bullets had
been directed by an unerring aim, and
five minutes later great convulsion shook
ths monstrous form OF the beast, and he
was dead. The elephants gazed upon him
without a show OF interest, and to night
when the carcass was cut into portable
pieces and carted away, they munched
their hay as though nothing unusual was
occurring. Pilot was the largest elephant
in the show next TO Jumbo, and was said
to weigh nine thousand pounds. Mr..
Barnum imported him from England in

Special Dispatch to The lntellIgeucer
CENTRAL, W. Va, April 0.-Barney Doyle
and his child, who were murdered at West
Union, will be buried tomorrow at o'clock
=. N. They have not finished the examina.
oil witnesses at the inquest yet, and the
authorities will continue the examination
tomorrow morning. The evidence 30
far points toward Kinney as the
guilty party. The general impression
is that Kinney will turn States evidence.
There seems TO be another party not yet
arrested, who, they think, had hand in
the murder, and who is a well known man
in The neighborhood. He will likely be ar
rested before morning, which will be great
surprise to many. Kinney, il not directly
concerned in the murder, helped to lay the
plans for 1t, as he was heard to remark
that "lie was going up to chat with Doyle"
and 1t was proved by two men to-day that
he was the last man there and was: left in
the house by them. Soon after they left
the murder was committed and about the
same time Kinney was seen running to a
certain house very much excited.
DR.. Scott, OF Patkersburg, saw the
wounded child to-day and said it was pos.
sible for her to recover. The place where
the blow was struck is below the brain,
between the eye and base OF the forehead.
II it don't become inhamed it is possible
for the child to get well.
Nothing has been done to raise the skull.
1t is mashed in 30 deep that you could put
an egg in the place and 1t would not roll
oil. There are several other wounds upon
the child not 50 serious. The recovery Of
the. child is anxiously hoped for, as she
would be an important witness in ferreting
out the guilty parties.
