Still an Open Question Who Fired the
First Shot.

CHICAGO, March 2.-There is little to add
to the account sent last night Of the shoot
ing match between Jere Dunn and Jim
Elliott, in which the latter was killed and
the former wounded twice. 1t remains
an open question as to which fired the first
shot. Plaisted and others say Dunn fired
first and Elliott had no pistol. His belief
is that Dunn had two revolvers and in the
struggle Elliott got hold of one Of them.
Dunn and his friends still insist that Eli
oft fred the two shots which hit Dunn be-
fore the latter fired. Dunn remains under
arrest. He is suffering considerably from
his wounds. An inquest over Elliotts re-
mains will.be held Tomorrow.

The House All Torn Up over the Re-
marks Of Tipsy Member.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-While the River
and Harbor bill was under consideration
last night Mr.. YanYoorhis, OF New York,
arose and began to discuss a clause OF the
bill.
He began with a denunciation OF the
trainers Of the bill. Said he: The thing
is so outrageous, so damnable, that no.
body but a gambler and a cuttbroat would
have thought of such thing rs that TO put
to such bill as this" There was great
sensation throughout the hall immediate
". and when the members had. so far re-
covered from their establishment as to
realize the full brutality of the remarks,
at least fifty voices exclaimed, Let his
words be taken down" Order" stop
him. and the sharp, fine voice Of Horr,
Of Michigan, rose above the
Combined Cries of the Mob.
"Mr. Speaker, demand that his words be
taken down."
The Speaker brought bis gayel into play,
but unnecessarily now, for the House was
hushed in an instant so whisper could
have been heard, and the rolling of 8 PEN
Gil from legislative desk sounded like
snare drum. The proposition OF the gen.
tleman from Michigan that the words be
taken down wSs promptly submitted oy
the chairman, Mr.. Cannon, to the House.
Half the House was on end. Van Noorhis
leaned carelessly against desk, as II ne
did not understand that he had done any
thing contrary to the rules.
Mr.. MeLane moved resolution immedi-
ately that Mr.. Van Yoorhis be expelled from
the House. At this another spell of quietude
prevailed. Members gathered down in

which was given by Judge Jackson and the
jury retired. In an hour they agreed upon

closing scenes of the noted trial, Miss Kate
Paul, the devoted daughter Of the prisoner,
left her fathers side and retired from the
scene, having
A Premonition
that verdict OF guilty would be rendered
against the prisoner, and her discretion
probably saved touching scene. After
the names of the jurors had been called,
the prisoner was ordered to stand up, and
the following verdict read to him by the
clerk Of the court: "We. the Jury, find
the defendant guilty OF murder in the first
degree" The verdict was evidently salts
factory to the crowd, but n attempt at ap-
plause was made.
PnuI was Unmoved.
Not glance of the eye, nor a muscle Of
the face betrayed the emotions within his
breast, and with the exception Of slight
paleness he was the same careless, indiffer-
ent man as he has been during the trial.
Immediately after the announcement Of
the verdict the prisoners counsel offered
a motion for a new trial. The motion will
be argued before the court at an early day.
The jury was good one, and upon the
first ballot stood ten for the verdict as rem
dered, and two for murder in the second
degree. AS this killing grew out Of the
alleged seduction Of Paups wife by Mar
quis, the counsel for the defense have hopes
Of acquittal or a milder verdict, from the
fact that it was known that the seducer had
entered the families of three of that jury
and robbed their fair daughters Of their
virtue.
This speaks well for men who recognized
the solemnity Of their oaths above their
personal feelings in the matter. The trial
will be remembered as the most exciting
ever heard in Wood county.
