THE BOND TRIAL.
A Night Session nIIeId-TestimOnyN Nearly
Concluded.

ST. LOUIS, December ga night ses-
sion in the Bond trial was held last night,
to argue the question whether the steno
graphers notes of the preliminary trial
could be used to impeach the testimony OF
Mrs. John G. Montgomery, and the court
this morning decided that the notes could
be introduced by the prosecution, but all
the testimony, not part of It, must be con-
sidercd The arguments are still going on,
and the defense is fighting at every point.
After argument was finished, the testi-
mOny Of a number OF witnesses at the
preliminary trial was admitted on the part
Ol the prosecution, the object being to con-
tradict the evidence given by the same
witnesses at this trial. James Wickens
was then put on the stand to impeach Gle
mentis veracity. He said he knew
number of people who wouldn't believe
anything Clement said unless corroborat-
ed by veracious people. Upon being cross
examined he could name only three men
who had spoken against Clements truth
fulness. After recess several other wit
nesses testified that Clement was untruth-
ful. 1t is believed that all evidence in
rebuttal will be in by o'clock, when the
case will close and argument begin, but
should the argument not be concluded by
that time, it will continued till after New
Years day.
Some half-dozen witnesses testified that
Clements reputation for veracity was aet
good, after which the case was closed and
the argument begun. Amos Miller, prose-
cutting attorney for Montgomery county
opened for the prosecution, and was fol-
lowed bv Mr.. J. Mcbride for the defense.
\ night session is now in progress.

believed revision 10 be useful. Their
action willbe different from that OF some

merely to have it rejected. This remark
caused great excitement among the Elk

TRICHINOSIS.
TeIeGrams Received from Minister Nor
ton on the Subject.

WASHINGTON, December 29.-Secretary
Frelinghuysen to-day received telegram
from Minister Morton saying it had been
stated in the Chamber that DR.. Detmers,
charged by this government to investi-
gate the trichinosis question, had advised
in his official report that all hogs in dis
tricts where trich!nte made an appearance
be DESTROYED. Mr.. Morton requested full
information on the subject. Secretary Fre
lnghuysen Immediately caused inquiry to
be made at the Agricultural Department,
in whose employ Detmers had been,
and this afternoon telegraphed Morton
that Detmers stated incorrectly in lS79-70
in report on swine plague, not trichi-
nosiS that that disease was very prevalent
in the West, and hogs laboring under it had
carelessly been sent to market. That he has
since in newspapers expressed erroneous
views on swine disease generally in
the West; that Curtis, a thorough
expert, who investigated trichinosis, re-
ports TO the Agricultural Department very
little disease OF any kind; that Detmers is
mistaken; that great care has been taken
by breeders and packers to send healthy
pork to market; that the Commissioner of
Agriculture entirely accepts Curtis's state
ment, and that at a meeting of the Swine
Breeders Association it was unanimously
stated that no disease whatever existed
among the swine in Illinois, Michigan,
Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio whence the
members were present.
