little child who accompanied her to her
breast and kissed it tenderly, but uttered
no protest against her husbands latest act
of unkindness.

THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS.

Bliss Concludes his Five Day Speech. The
Jury Becoming Weary.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Bliss began the
fifth day of his address to the jury in the
star route trial this morning. In speaking
of S. w. Dorsey, Bliss asserted that proof
was conclusive that he had engaged in the
mail business while in the senate, and the
whole scheme originated in his fertile
brain. When he had spent as much
money as he could afford, Vale had been
takeh in to furnish further capital. The
evidence was quoted at length to sustain
this allegation.
Foreman Crane at one time interrupted
to inquire why John Dorsey sent two aft
daVlts concerning one route to Reerdel
upon the same day.
Bliss promptly answered that John Dor
sey's statement upon that point was lie
and the evidence showed it.
just before the court adjourned Bliss
apologized to the jury for the length of
his address, saying that they had shown
such interest he felt it necessary to go into
certain subjects at greater length than he
had intended. If the court would adjourn
ne believed he could finish within a short
time Monday morning.
Inc foreman OF the jury objected to adj
journment over Saturday. He said the jury
had been in the court room five months, one
SEVENTEEN of the average human life
time. His business had been drifting
along like a ship without rudder, and,
moreover, he feared if the trial was spun
out much further, it would be brought to
close by the death or sickness of some of
the jury.
Judge Wylie assured Mr.. Crane the
trial was nearer the end than he mag
med. He believed the present good health
OF the jury was owing in a degree to the
rest afforded, by these adjournments over
Saturday. Adjourned until Monday.

NEW YORK.

Especial Telegram to the Globe
New YORK, May 4.-Reports from the
West of cold, wet and unreasonable
weather checked speculation in Wall street,
though the strength in many properties
warrants the belief that change to any
thing more favorable would be followed
by an advance in the stock market. New
York Central was battered again by the
bears, and, being entirely unsupported,
gave way, as it did last evening. 1t sold
to-day lower by fraction than at any
time during the year 1882. The only ad-
vance of moment was in Jersey Central.
Opening at IS, it sold at 1870. The mar
ket was exceedingly dull during the after
noon. A few of the latest reports of earn
ings are as follows: Union Pacific for April
decreased $164,O0O; Manitoba same period
increased; Atchison for January, February
and March gives gain of 100000.
There seems to be no end to the supply
of New York Central. For other stocks
there was good demand. Hannibal & st.
Joe common sold al 4215. Prices as a
general thing closed higher than on last
evening. The inside cause for yesterd avs
advance in Canada Pacific was developed
to-day. A syndicate composed OF ". L.
Scott and other eminent and sagacious
fnanciers was given the option of $1O,OOO,-
600 of the stock at fifty cents on the dollar.
The pool offered stock here and abroad at
sixty cents and closed out the entire $780,
100000 at that price. The certificates
never were delivered to the individual
members, several of whom proceeded to
sell the stock short. The certificates were
delivered to the bona fide purchasers in q
block and when the time for delivery
came the members of the pool found that
they were really short. 1t was their cover
ing that ratified the price.
The buying of the Union Pacific was
started by Mr.. Johnes, and it subsequently
transpired that information had come
from Washington to the effect that the
government proposed to pay a
against the postofice department. The
company's claim against the government
amounts to about So, 100000, decision hav-
ing been obtained for part of the amount
There is some bearish talk on Union Pa
ciic on account of the credit mobilier
suit pending in Boston. The buying OF
Denver is attributed to the Osborn Com
mack influence. The road is expected to
be completed to Ogden next week, and ii
is reported that lines in the Oregon pool
have decided to give the Burlington,
Denver line fair proportion of through
business. Representatives of lines in the
California pool meet in few days to take
the matter of a revision of percentage
under consideration. Among the North
ern Pacific pool there is great confidence
that Northern Pacific common will have q
sharp rise within two weeks. The state
ment in regard to Northern Pacific com
mon is made with the greatest confidence
by people who are seldom wrong in theil
estimate of immediate fluctuations il that
stock.
