The Carpenter Trial.

PETERSBURG, ILL.,, March l9.-In the Car
penter trial, w. 7. Bellfield, microscopic
expert Of Chicago, testified that he had
examined under the microscope the hairpins
found in Carpenters buggy and found
them different from any, except those OBJ
tained at the store in ST. Elmo where the
former were purchased. He had examined 102
specimens. AT Mr.. Bsach's request the court
reporter produced hairpin which his wife
had given him and the doctor examined it.
He pronounced it identical with the buggy
pin. This greatly pleased the defense, and
MI Beach t!iumphaNtly exclaimed that he
believed that settled the fact that hairpins of
that make could be found all over the coun-
try.
The court ruled that the lines of Carpenters
harness could not be received inasmubh as
they had not been kept track of, and blood
spots might have been put upon them by enc
mics of Carpenter. The attorneys for the
defense insisted that Frank Simmons be
called by the prosecution, as his
name appeared on the back of the indict-
ment Authorities we're cited on both sides,
and, after considerable argument Judge
Lacy allowed him to be called, with the
privilege to both sides to cross examine.
Simmons took the stand and said the party
he met in a buggy were young people; the
man was not Carpenter; know it because the
moon was shining full in his face. On cross.
examination by Mr.. Forrest, Simmons waa
not so positive.

the plaintiff, awarding 50, ,23090 The
present trial, which is the second, was
commenced Feb. 5 last and has

est cases ever tried i'll Wisconsin. The COM
plainant brought the suit several years ago

reason of the defendant failing to
provide cars at the several ports
of Port Huron, Sarnia and Goderich,
as per agreement made the complainants,
boats were detained for long periods, causing
loss of time and money. In the answer the
defendant denied the allegations, and averred
that by reason Of the plaintiff S boats not
making good time, and not reach
ing the ports mentioned when tn ey
should have done SO, the defendants loaded
cars were detained, to its loss and damage in
the sum OF $4,000 The first trial gave
plaintiff Sill 900 damages. The verdict
created CONSERVATION and surprise among the

Silly get away from here. Three months and
half gone and not an appropriation bill

to control the flood OF talk. This is the
largest congress we have ever had, and of
course, the most talkative one. The larger

every man in the house is under the impress

rediscuss the whole subject for the benefit Of
everybody else, SO the story is gone over and

WASHINGTON CITY, March 19-It is al
legged that the affect of the attempts of the
public lands committee to forfeit the land
grants of all the railroads in the country is
already perceptible in checking the tide of
immigration to the north and north
west, Many persons who were prepar-
ing 10 go to those sections in which
tie lands in question lie, with the
view OF purchasing homes from the railroad
companies on longtime payments, are afraid
to 10 50 now, and have decided to postpone
indefinitely their efforts at establis hing new
homes The officials of The railways affected
by these bills are now receiving
many letters from parties of this
character, announcing that they will
be obliged to postpone their re-
moyals until the roads can give them clear
titles to the lands which they propose to buy
The general impression is that many
of these bills will not be acted upon at
this ssion, and, even if they are, not until
such late day that it would be impossible
for those desiring to establish homes upon
those lands to do so this year.
