BosTox. May 8.
Doctor Martin testified at the Tewksbury
examination today. that he was student at
the Harvard medical school from 1871 to
1874. No babies were ever dissected there
and no infant bodies were ever brought IN
but once No dogs or cats were ever dissect-
ed there and consequently the remains were
never mingled with those of human beings
as claimed in the previous testimony. About
ten dollars were paid for bodies. He knew
nothing of the disposition of remains after
dissection.
Lorenzo S. Fairbanks testified that he had
examined the books In which Chas. b. Marsh
had recorded the money received of patients.
and there are fifty-four erasures and aitera-
tions. forty seven of which were of figures in
the money column. These books cover from
1868, but for the first ten years of the pres
ent management, no books can be found.
The governor then took the history book
and read that an inmate named Allen had
died in 1877 leaving S46. On the money
book Aliens assets appeared as one dollar.
and the book showed an erasure as if changed
from SIG Another book showed that one
dollar was paid to the State. Jane McGratL
took $3.50 to Tewksbury, but was credited
with S972, and the book showed that AL
erasure had been made in most suspicious
manner. Elizabeth Barry was credited With
S4 in the history book. but on the money
book the figure had been altered to one.
1t is said to have been discovered that
Thos. Marsh, superintendent of the Tewks-
bury amshouse did not file any bond for
faithful discharge of duties when elected in
July. This adds a new complication to the
Tewksbury discussion, and the question is
raised whether or not there is any legal su
perintendent of the almshouse or any assist
ants appointed under him.
Fairbanks testified that in a number OF
entries on the money book relating to the
assets of patients, erasures had been made
most skilfully, so as to make the amounts
less than originally entered.
Adjourned.
The executive committee and boards OF
health, lunacy and charity met this afternoon
and decided that on account of the fact that
the bond of Capt Thos. Marsh, superintend-
ent of the Tewksbury almshouse had not
been filed as required bv the statutes, to
consider the position vacant They will no
remove him, as he does not legally hold any
position but at the next meeting of the board
Saturday, a superintendent will be appointed.

Cowboys Racing with Trains.

Between Fort Worth and San Antonio we
pass through the richest, best populated and
most productive part of Texas. No matter
where you choose to look, you see sleek look
ing cattle grazing on the new grass. Calves
and young heifers gambol and faunt their
heels in the air as the train rushes by while
the herders, mounted on their wirv little
ponies. gallop madly by the side of the train
for miles Mt time in an exciting race, their
broad sombreros in their hand and their long
black hair brushed by the rushing breezes.
Much fun. is created on all sides by these
races. Whenever we strike crowd of herd
ers by the side of the track Old Nick appears
to seize them. With wild shouts they
toss their hats in the air and start on dare
devil race with the train. 1t is simply won-
derful how fast their tough little steeds get
over the ground. They seem to have good
part of the enthusiasm OF their riders i'm
parted to them. and strain every nerve to
Keep abreast OF the iron horse and the train
with its load of passengers, who crowd the
windows and wave back to the racing ''cow-
boys" their Haunting kerchiefs. But the race
cannot last long. The nimble little pony
try though it may. soon falls behind, and as
his driver pulls him up short, gives a grace
full wave with his white sombrero, and sends a
parting prairie yell after the rapidly dissp-
pearipg train, the engine sends back an an
swering screech and we settle down again.

rag STAR ROUTE.
Bliss Asking Searching Questions About
Dorsey.

WASHINGTON, MAY 8.
In the star route trial this morning Mr..
Bliss continued his address to the jury.
If Dorsey was an innocent man." said he
"why did he continue Rerdell in his employ
after he had discovered his character
why did he seek TO compound felony
with him to prevent him tes;ifying instead of
defying him to do his worst.
Bliss admitted that the government witness
Moore was not man of the highest style,
but asked if it was natural that contractors
should employ a man of high character to do
their Illegal work.
They bad threatened 10 call Pelham Moore's
counsel to co ntradict him, but they did not
dare To do it. They knew he would corrob
crate Moore's testimony.
The defence sought to make the jury be
lieve that the governments Witnesses had
perjured themselves from the mere pleas sure
in so doing when no set of witnesses ever had
greater inducements to be truthful. Rerdeli
had confessed everything. And he Bliss
trusted that his punishment would be lighter
than the others.
Walsh's testimony was quoted at length.
The defence asserted that Walsh had ami
mus against Brady, said Bliss, because he
walsh had suit against him for large
sum OF money. Certainly il was not then in
Waish's interest to shut up the debtor in
the penitentiary.
Commenting upon the failure of the de-
fence to produce the letter book or index,
Bliss declared that the jury must assume
that the index would reveal the absence of
RerdelFs letter to Brady. which had been
put in evidence by the government.
Bliss read copious extracts from the record
of evidence, aud commented at length upon
them.
When the court adjourned Bliss had not
concluded his address.

Tewksbury Almshouse.
BOsTON, Nav Z

BOSTON, May ).
The House this forenoon voted S90. 900 to
the Tewksbury almshouse, which is the same
appropriation as in the vetoed charity bill.
One amendment to make it $4,000. as the
Governor recommended, was voted down, so
yeas to lis nays. Nine republicans voted or
were paired for reduction. One democrat
voted against it. Otherwise it was strictly
party vote.
The committee on expenditures called on
Governor Butler today in relation to the ap-
preparation for Tewksbury almshouse and
the Governor guaranteed he would take the
institution and run it on his own system if
they would appropriate a sum equivalent to
$4,000 year. If any of the appropriation
remained unexpended he would turn it over
TO the State treasury; if the expenses ex-
ceeded the amount appropriated he would
pay the excess out of his own pocket. To
show that the institution was properly cared
for he would allow a committee of the repub-
lican State central committee TO inspect the
institution.

miles off Seymourth Narrows on Sunday
night at 10 o'clock. The fire was discovered
by the engineer, who Immediately reported
the fact to the captain. The one hundred
passengers, principally Cinnamon, were all in
bed. The engineer started the donkey en-
gine and connected the hose. At this time
the passengers had been warned and the ex-
citement was intense. The cinnamon behaved
like maniacs. They were utterly uncomfortable,
and seriously impeded the action cf the of
ficers. The captain ordered all shot who re
fused to obey orders. outstanding this
the Cinnamon rushed back and forward on
the vessel until it was found necessary to
throw down some and carry below others
ironed. All the time the fire was gaining
and the efforts to control it were unavailable
The captain ordered the pilot to head the
steamer for the Vancouver shore and beach
her. As soon as the steamer struck the sand
boats were lowered. The boats were swamped
and owing to the intense smoke those who
could swim did not know in which direction
to strike out and surrounded by mass OF
struggling Cinnamon were drowned.

particulars of the murder of John A. Neal of
Boston, whose brothers are among the largest
hide and leather dealers in Massachusetts
Neal had been in bad health and started for
the Indian Territory. He concluded to learn
to do cooking for couple of men herding
cattle on the Kansas City Cattle Company's
rancho. The morning he was murdered his
two companions rode out from the dug-out to
look after cattle, leaving Neal reading In
about two hours one of his companions re-
turned and found him dead The discoverer
did not stop to examine him, but only no.
ticed his watch and chain were still iu his
vest. He rode to the next camp for help.
When he returned he found the watch and
chain were gone. Nea. had a check cashed

Drowning His Captor.

At Bayview, near the Atlantic Highlands,
last Saturday, large fish hawk swooped
down into the waters of the bay, embedding
in its talons huge plaice. The bird rose
with its prey, but its weight proved too great
and dragged him down. Several times the
bird struggled to ascend. but failed and.
exhausted, it finally fell into the water still
clinging to its captive. It's talons were so
embedded in the fish that it could not release
them and it was drowned. The fish died of
its wounds and both were washed ashore,
where with difficulty they were separated
