WAsnISGroS, April 4-Mr. Kellogg's
friends have maintained, first, that the in
dictmeut against him was secured by the
two Democratic state.route counsel, who
are noted as partisans, togain some political
in the view Of probable inyeti.
cations by the next House, and, second,
that the indictment was found for the pur.
pose Of influencing the jury in the pending
trial, and that in order 10 do this, date
was inserted in presentment, and these
probably would be inserted in the indict.

There is fumor tonight, which it's not
in the nature OF things possible to absolute

tween the grand jury and the Democratic
lawyer, Ker, against Kellogg, on the
ground that the presentment, as submitted
TO the Court and given 10 the public, does
not agree with evidence given before the
Jury, and that date contained in the pre-
sentmentis not the datein fact which was
tss,iied to by Price. There isanother re-

Whether these reports are true Or not, the

DETROIT, Mlcu., April Last night, a
little cottage situated in one Of the outly-
ing districts OF the city, was entered by
masked burglars, who assaulted the occu-
pants, three aged people, Frederick Nor
ris and wife, and Mrs. Flanagan, and left
them badly bruised. For some reason
nothing OF value was taken from the house.
Mrs. Morris, who was intimidated with re.
volvers by the burglars, and severely
pounded on account OF her persistent at
tempts 10 scream, is, in consequence OF the
terrible ordeal through which she passed,
hopelessly insane. AT the retreat 10 which
she was taken she lmagines that she is sur
rounded with burglars with revolvers and
screw-drivers, preparing to place her in
her coffin. The doctors say she can not
recover her reason, and 1t Is doubtful II
she lives more than few days,

STILL MORE HORRORS
IN THE TewksBuRy ALMsAovsE


BosroN, MASS, April 4.-The Tewkes-
bury almshouse investigation was resumed
to-day. The Chairman asked to have an
issue as TO whether the bodies had been
delivered to medical schools eliminated, as
that would not be disputed. Governor
Butler replied he expected TO prove the
bodies had been delivered elsewhere. some
to be skinned and the skins tanned. He
proposed to show that after the bodies had
been buried they had been taken up and
sent away, and he said he would go into
the graveyard at Tewsksbury and produce
some alleged remains" This inyestiga.
ton was to go on to prove the testimony
which had been given to be absolutely
false. The books which had been sent to
him as records OF the almshouse were not
complete, but were copies Of the original
books. He wanted the latter, embracing
those recording the deaths and sale OF dead
bodies. IL l.
The Chairman said 1t was claimed that
no bodies were sold, hence there were no
records to be produced, but the Governor
said he would prove 10 the contrary. Mrs.
Thomas resumed her testimony. She cor
rected her statement that pound OF but.
ter week was given the inmates. 1t
should be pound Of meal. Honora Con.
ners an inmate, was kept .'as q show" wo-
man for the benefit OF visitors who were
taken to see her. Thomas Hall who worked
ut tTewkesbury from 1874 to 1877 testified he
had all the dead TO bury while he was
there. He took them from the dead house
under orders OF Thomas ]. Marsh, Jr., and
Captain Manning used to come and get the
dead bodies, carrying them away in two
air-tight trunks.
During the winter he was there the
bodies taken to Boston averaged 65 to 72
they were not sent in hot weather. No
picking was done while he was there.
The bodies received from the State prison
for burial at the almshouse were with one
exception sent away for dissection. When
witness left he was paid $l00 for the
winters work, and for handling the bodies.
He thought Tom Marsh used to collect
money from Harvard College. Witness
acknowledged he knew he had been doing
wrong. The hearing was then
adjourned 10 Monday.

Queen yIcsorin,. Condition.

LONDON, April 4.-The recovery Of the
Queen is less rapid than the physicians had
reason to expect. While the injury TO the
knee is by no means serious, it is feared it
may indirectly affect her accustomed good
health by causing her to lose her daily out
door exercise with which she has been in
the habit OF reireshing herself. DR.. Jenner,
Physician In Ordinary to the Queen, has di.
rected that she take almost complete rest as
the best means OF preventing theswelling in
the injured part and Of reducing the pain.
This course will, 1t is believed, soon reduce
the slight inflammation and give Her Ma.
jesty full use Of her limb. A dispatch from
Windsor Castle, dated o'clock this after.
noon, says: The Qneen's general health
continues excellent despite the preoaution.
ary safeguards as to exercise which the
physician imposed, and although not per.
mitted to walk yet, she took a drive during
the forenoon. .. #

Tug Third District GreenbaCkers met in
Charleston yesterday, and counseled among
Themselves, and finally made nomination
for Congress. It must have been dreary
gathering, as no delegates were present
ba,those who circle around the camp fires

interesting feature OF the conclave was the
compliments paid the former leader Of the
lO,lorn canse, Henry S. Walker, late
head Sachpn. Several warriors donned
the war pain, and feathers and struck the
uaiI ior Henry scalp. He was affection
reIy designated as Judas 1scariot, and
compared with other equally distinguished
penonages. The trilling piece Of informa'
ton was volunteered that although Walker
had sold himself to the Bourbons, caslfon
delivery, he could not fulfll the
Hst oI the bargain by delivering
the rest Of the party into the
hands Of PhilistinCs. A resolution OF in.

Living Monuments 10 the Designer.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE trouble over
the new nickel is not yet at an end. From
reports received at the Treasury the gliding
and passing oi this coin for gold is grow
more general every day. AZ prominent
Secret Service officer said that arrests Of
parties had been made by their men in
California, St. Louis, Pittsburgh. Chicago,
Louisiana, Nashville, New York, Boston,
Kansas City, Dubuque and other places.
Complaints are .being received from all
parts OF the country. Some District At
torneys are in donbt as to the law in such
cases, but several have already filed in
dictments against the guilty parties.
"How does he,solicitor Of the Treasury
regard the matter ?" was asked.
"Oh, he has no doubt as TO the act OF
gliding the pieces being one OF counterfeit
ing, and that all persons possessing such
gilded coins are liable at anytime to be
compelled 10 show honest intentions in
their possession" ,.iia!l ,lII
"Will the fact that the word cents Is to
be added TO the new pieces decrease the
habit OF gildingT. t.in.lNt
"No not materially. The ignorant and
many intelligent persons will still accept
them as fivedollar gold pieces, as the
reverse Of the piece is very similar to the
gold coin"
Another Treasury official said the nickel
pieces were grave mistake and that they
should never have been made. "Why,"
be said .'men are payinga premium Tor
them and records Of the Secret Service will
show their purpose in doing this. They
were designed to perpetuate somebody's
memory, and they will do it. The peniten-
tiaries Will soon be full Of living monu.;
