)ears, OF more than ordinary Intelligence,
and Is inclined to do right by all parties.
Religion and sectarianism Is pretty
effectually eliminated from the case.
There would be great sense of
relief if the evidence could show that
O'Boylan Is not blameable for the assault
on McDevitt. The defense is inclined to
make capital out Of the request for con-
tinuance on the part of the State, The
latter argued at length that their prin-
cipal witness was the editor of the State
Journal, who had a number of cards writ
ten by O'BOylan condemning McDevitt,
which We're held by request of the former
after he had sent them. The cards appear
this morning, and dcnounce McDevitt
as an untrlcd murderer, and points
to evidence of his alleged guilt
IN the killing of Quickbaum, of
Pennsylvania, about year ago. The
Hickey lynching complexities matters.
The arrests in this case We're brought
about by McDeyitt, and it will catch
some OF his closest friends. McDeyitt
was among the crowd that witnessed the
lynching, and efforts will be made to
bring him into the affair, as well as for
the murder ofQuickbaum. Everything at
henyllle and Corning is quiet, and as the
strike continues everybody is idle
McDeyitt returned yesterday to Melon
ough the coat the latter gave him the
night OF the abduction, he being one OF
the party, and at the same time began Il
suit for $4,000 against him for damage to
business. None of the balance of the
prisoners under arrest for the abduction
are worth anything, An effort was made
to get a compromise between the par
ties to-day, but without avail. A strong
feeling prevails against Father
O'Boylan, because it is reported that
he locked the door of the church on Sum
day and made his congregation take the
action they did, and then the next day
said prayers for the lynchers. If these
things are proved there will be a warm
time in the valley. The Catholic Colum-
ttdn, the official organ of the diocese, and
under the personal supervision of Bishop
Watterson, defends O'Boylan in an edi-
| torlal OF a columns length.

Committee on Expenditures.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March S.-The in
veStigation before the House Committee
on Expenditures was opened at ten
O'Clock this morning. Mr.. Gibson was
heard in explanation OF his connection
with the Star-routers. He said he was
paid $4,000 for his services, and thought
he was under paid. He tabulated the
excuses of the Star-route expeditions
No new information was brought out.
lie stated that the Government intended
to proceed against the contractors by
Grand Jury, but the Grand Jury adj
journed before conclusion had been
reached,
The first report of witness was to the
Attorney-General, who submitted II 10
Congress with his annual report. About
this time it was announced by the press
at the instance Of the Department OF
Justice, which was arrayed on the side OF
the accused, that he had no connection
with the departments. From that time
the connection of the witness terminated.
The Department of Justice published
statements that witness had no authority
to make the report. Witness thought it
was the work of Woodward. The report
was sent to Solicitor Phillips, but re-
ceipt by the Solicitor-General was re-
fused. On December LIST, 1881, Mac
Veagh addressed witness letter compli-
menting him on the character OF the re-
port, also letter to Solicitor Phillips en-
dorsing the complaint to witness.
The inspectors acted under the d.
rection of witness; during the investiga-
tion witness said he was actually and con-
stantly employed from April twenty-sec-
ond to some time in November, 1881,
working fourteen hours a day, including
Sunday. He had advised the prosecution
of other routes, but Bliss overruled him.
The Attorney-General paid no attention
to the Star-route cases, but entrusted all
to Bliss Witness at one time recommend
ed that proceedings be instituted against
Kellogg relating to the San Antonio anc
Corpus Christi routes, and wrote out a
basis for the prosecution, but the Attor-
ney- General didn't avail himself of the in
formation. Witness met Merrick, attor-
ney for the prosecution, and told him he
didn't know what he was about; that he
had taken the wrong route, and the case
was being laughed out of court. Upon
the authority of Merrick the witness stat
ed that the prosecution acknowledged
that the first trial was failure, and that
the Government had been unable to prove
q conspiracy.
Committee adjourned until Monday

The Experienced Counterfeiters All Be-
hind the Bars-Petty Coniakers

CHICAGO, ILL, March S.-Captain Hall,
OF the Secret Service, has returned from
Fuller County, where he was called by
telegram announcing the arrest of two
counterfeiters. The offenders are Dan
lei Feaster and Frank Arnold, residing
near the village of Smithsfeld, and it was
found that they had as yet manufactured
only seven pewter dollars and passed
only two. The prisoners were taken to
Springfield. "We are bothered a good
deal by these petty coniakers," said the
Captain, "but their work is so crude that
the person who is deceived by it must be
either near-sighted or stupid. The days
OF scientific counterfeiting seem to have
gone by. 1t is only occasionally that you
see counterfeit bank or treasury note

Of the old issues. Tom Condor and En-
win White were among the most
successful counterfeiters this coun-
try ever produced, and they
are both doing time in Kings County,
New York, w here they were sent for thir-

from plates cut by White, who was fine
engraver. Ransom Warner, a notorious
circulator, is serving term of eight
years in Sing Sing, while Peter Mozart
ney, another clever distributor, is an in
mate of the Michigan City penitentiary.
Ben Boyd and Tom Ballard, both splen-

made some clever limitations of the In
diana V. and Treasury X, has just finish

Philadelphia is in durance vile, and John
Doyle and the Brockway gang are also
living on prison fare. OF the western
gang, there were Nels briggs, old John
Hill, Big Jim Comedy, Dow Crockett,
Alex. Murpo and others, all doing time at
Joliet. About all the professional coun-
terfeiters seem to be out of harms way,

President Arthur AS Dinner
Giver-A Most Charming
Entertainer.
Brilliant Receptions, Unsurpassed Deco
rationsD Easy and Pleasant Manners
and Perfect Etiquette.
An Old-Time Stag Party, to Which
Fifty Bachelors and Grass
Widowers Are Invited.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 8.-Presi-
dent Arthur has fully indicated himself
as an entertainer and has lent a charm to
the White House festivities which they
have not possessed for 10! these many
winters. Said real nice naval officer to
a Critic reporter: "The receptions have
been brilliant, the decorations unsur-
passed, the entertainments frequent, the
manners easy and pleasant, the etiquette
perfect, and everything has come up to
the highest expectations. On Wednesday
evening the President will vary the pro-
gramme by an old-time stag party-bach-
elor dinner. Fifty Senators and Repre-.
sentatlves who have never shouldered the
matrimonial yoke will be invited, if that
many can be found, and if not the list
will be filled out by Senators and members
whose wives are not with them in Wash
ington.
"The President is courageous, too, in
his entertaining, and good manager.
He has boldly expressed his intention of
seeing that every Senator and every mem-
Der is at least once invited to accept the
hospitality of the White House at a
state dinner, and this has never been at
tempted before since the House has as
sumed such large proportions. There is
another thing that people do not properly
appreciate, and that is the perfection OF
arrangement and absence of confusion
at the White House dinners, There never
were dinners given to such large numbers
of guests in the state dining-room, and
they neyerwere so well managed"

BLESSINGS IN DISC USE,
What the Woman of To-Day is Doing to
Conceal Her Charms.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March S.-A WELL
dressed lady went into fashionable
Chestnut street clothing house yesterday
and asked to be measured for pair of
trousers. After she had been served an
attendant said to a reporter; ave make
mems suits for ladies right along. don't
know what this party wants with mems
clothing, for we A,yer ask, unless they
choose to tell. We make a good many
full suits. This pair OF trousers is for a
very pretty little lady who looks so petite
that you would never suppose to look at
her that she would require so large :, size.
She is having three suits made. One is a
knock-around suit with single-breasted
sack, another is a full-buttoned blue
frock, with fancy lining, and the other
has
KNICKERBoCKER BREECHES.
We think nothing of it, We make all
kinds"
Greatly, what in the world does Miss
Dickinson want with trousers?"
81 can't tell you, only she has them.
Maybe they are for riding or for indoor
wear. We are in the habit of making all
her trousers, anyhow. Why, women
folks say that trousers are great deal
more comfortable, and thosewe make for
them have always been very successful in
fitting"
From other sources it was learned that
while mems trousers are not likely to be
adopted by any ladies in Philadelphia for
out-of-door wear, there is tendency on
the part of some of the ladies in this
city, who are recognized as fashionable
ladies, to have their spring street cos
tunes this year more comfortable and
simple, and in some respects resembling
mems dress. prominent firm of tailors
are making good many coats for ladies
that are almost similar to coats for men,
A number of ladies have already appeared
on the streets with mems vests, showing
shirt fronts and neckties.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March S.-Several
labor leaders are working and circulating
a petition which is to be presented to
Congress, asking them to provide sum
of money from the surplus currency in
the Treasury for colonization purposes. 1t
is proposed that ten million dollars be set
aside for the purpose, which would sup
ply hundred thousand families with
five hundred dollars each, and granting
fifteen years for the payment OF the mort
gage to be taken on the land for its pay
ment, and allowing the settler to pay for

one per cent. and over; and at ten years
at two per cent. The petition Is being
largely signed at all points of the State
where 1t Is presented. 1t is no political
measure. The petition bears the sigma
lures of leaders of all parties. Laboring
men are united in the request that such
provision be made.

GORDON's ADVICE.


CAIRO, March S.--General Gordon in q
dispatch this morning recommends an
immediate attack on 0sman Digna by
General Graham. If the rebel force re-
tires from its present position Graham
should content himself with merely de-
stroying the enemy's camp and not at
tempt to follow the rebels up, as his
horses are too inferior to allow of pene-
trating to any considerable distance into
the country. The rebel horsemen are
well mounted, and would considerably
weaken Graham's forces by keeping up a
guerilla warfare which would probably
end in disastrous defeat, as the rebels
would be constantly receiving fresh addi-
tons to their army. The farther Graham
marched into the country, he would have,
in addition to harassing attacks from the
enemy many hardships to contend with,
and perhaps meet fate similar to that
which befel Hicks Pasha.
LONDON, March S.-General Graham
has been ordered not to advance unless
he is sure of finding the enemy. There
will be a cavalry reconnaissance tonight.
Osman Digna is urging his followers to
fight, assuring them that success is GER
tain. He will watch from afar as they do
battle, invoking the blessing Of Allah.
