NEw York. April l2.-The torpedo. boat
Is away and no one knows where. Gilbert,
the engineer who had charge Of the boat,
had been seen on Monday morning to stow
away provisions in his cigar.shaped craft
aud then disappear. The next thing
noticed was the mysterious absence Of the
craft, which had slipped quietly away with!
out warning. The ferrymsn who sculls
his boat across the gap at the sugar houses
was startled about noon by the apparition
OF aswift.meving mass, that cut across bis
bows and quickly disappeared among the
canal boats. The ferryman identified the
torpedo boat, and watched the black back,
which alone appeared above the water,
disappear southwad down the bay. Moth
ing has since been heard Of the boat nor
its adventurous navigator.
The boat Is understood to be the prop
erty OF its inventor, ]. O Holland. Late
in the afternoon be visited the berth where
the craft has lain all winter. but he found
only the old signboard that warned all
visitors TO keep ofthe boat. He denied all
knowledge OF the boats movements or that
he was iorewarned OF bis engineers
intended adventure. Some days ago, he
says, Gilbert told him not to be surprised
il he found the boat gone some day, as he
intended to take a trip in her. This alter
noon Holland was still in ignorance OF her
whereabouts. He expressed uneasiness to
Mr.. Morris, OF the Morris & Cummings
Dredging Company, saying that there was
a danger Of the boats having struck
against ships anchor or a submerged
portion Of a wreck. She had on board four
days provisions, four days fuel in the
shape Of crude petroleum and four days
supply Of compressed air. The engines
are compressed air engines and this air
furnishes air to be breathed by the crew.
She is sixty feet long by six feet in diane
ter, being cigar.shaped, and she can float
on the surface or under water at the will OF
the engineer. ,glCA

Now We have what is pleasantly termed
Gresham Presidential boom. The new
Postmaster General is u strong, level.head-
ed man, and the Republican party might
do worse than lock to Indiana for Presi:
DENTAL timber. But whatever fortune may
have in store for Judge Gresham, he began
well before he reached Washington. He
declined to accept special car and paid
his way in truly unofficial fashion. He
knew that his department has relations
with the railroads, and perhaps he was un-
willing to be compromised at the start by
hyOrs. Here was the exhibition Of vir-
tue as rare as it is commendable. 1t is
probable that Judge Gresham had no rail-
road passes in his pocket when he Sat on
the bench; It is equally probable that
there are not many judges like unto him.

LATER TESTIMONY.

Carey, on being closely INTERCEPTED,
said he was one Of the prime movers in
the murder Of Burke, but was under COM
pulsion during the time directly preceding
the event Being closely Intercepted by
counsel on this point Carey finally ad.
mitted he was not under compulsion when
he pointed out Burke TO the assassins and
urged the murderers to remember the man
clad in a gray suit was Burke. The witness
said although he had for sixteen years
been working for wages averaging only e2
per week, he mad in 1882 ninety tenants oc'
cupying his various houses. Counsel for
defense brought out, in sharp contrasts by
Grown, that Carey drove with his children
10 the door OF church in Fitzharris'
cab on the 9th OF May; that he was the first
man then suggested that daggers be used
and afterwards suggested the weapon with
which the crime was committed. The
answer OF the witness 10 questions concern
ing promises Of pardon were given with
much hesitation. Finally he said he had
bten informed by Mallon, Chief OF detect
tives, II his evidence should be given freely
to the State and be confirmed by others he
and his brother would be pardoned. This
statement caused sensation. Carey said
he had 80 far only answered questions put
to him by counsel, and he could, Il unre.

more U..

DUBLIN, April 1.-the trial OF Joe
Brady, charged with numbering Lord Fred.
erick Cavandish and Secretary Burke, was
resumed this morning. James Carey was
again placed on the witness stand and
cross examined by counsel for defense, who
elected the information that when plotting
the murder with the others the accused
man was member Of Sodality which
received sacrament at stated periods. Carey
also said he was promised pardon before
he determined to give evidence against his
fellow conspirators. A photograph was
handed Carey which the witness immedi.
ately identified as that OF the man known
as Number l."
Michael kavanaugh was placed on the
stand. He repeated the evidence he gave
at the examination in the Kilmainham
Court House. His testimony showed 1t
was Brady who directed him where to
drive and who designated the place for
him to wait. Joseph Smith, another &C.
cused who turned informer, reported the
story OF the doings in Phoenix Park as re.
lated by James Carey at the preliminary
hearing. Smith said hewas sworn in as an
"Inyincible" three weeks before the mur.
ders were committed. The "Invincibles"
had a secret sign by which they recog.
nized each other, which was the holding OF
knife in the palm ofthe hand. Carey had
introduced himself to the witness by means
OF this sign. Other witnesses were called
by the prosecution, among them being
gladden.. the Phenix Park ranger, and u
concerning the search for the knives used
by the murderers, the result OF which, he
said, was reported to Brady. Physicians
who examined the bodies OF Cavendish
and Burke then gave evidence relative to
the nature Of the wounds. The case for
the prosecution closed at o'clock and the
case for the defense then opened. The
photographs recognized by Carey as "Num.
