Mutt Insane.

Pittsburg, January 1.-THE after
noon session of the Mutt trial was
taken up with the examination of ex-
perts concerning Nuts mental condi-
tion. Hypothetical questions covering
the facts brought out in the evidence
were read to each. All agreed that if
the facts were as stated Mutt was in
sane when he killed Dukes. Drs. Pol
lock and Doley said Mutt was the VIC
tim of an uncomfortable impulse, which
might exist in any person without being
manifest before or after the act which
led to its positive discovery was COM
mitted.
The testimony was received with
every evidence of favor by the specta-
tors. Several jurors took copious
notes.
Lizzie Mutt was confined to her bed
to-day from a severe attack of nervous
prostration. She oyerestimated her
strength In her desire to be near her
brother. Grave fears have been aroused
by her condition.

A New President for the North

San Francisco, January Ire
speeding the alleged purchase of prop
erty at Port Oxford, Oregon, by Jay
Gould and Captain Tichenor, a large
property owner of that place, now in
this city, told an associated press re-
porter to-day the announcement was
premature. Negotiations have been
going on with eastern capitalists, but
nothing has yet been consummated.
The intention is to connect Port Or
ford, which has an excellent harbor,
by rail with the Oregon & California
railroad, a distance of about one hun
bred miles, making it the shipping point
for grain. &C., for southern Oregon and
northern California.

The Northern Paclfc's New President.

New York, January 17.-At a meet
ing of directors of the Northern Pacific
to-day, a special committee was APP
pointed to consider the question of the
successor of Willard, which reported as
follows:
"Gentlemen: The special committee
appointed by you at your last meeting,
to recommend what action should be
taken by you relative to the vacancy
existing in the Office of of president OF
the company, after giving the matter
their most careful consideration,
have unanimously decided to nominate
to you Robert Harris, at present vice
president of the New York, Lake Erie
IL Western railway company, to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Henry Willard. Your committee are
satisfied from the we'll known reputa,
tiou Of Harris as a railroad manager
and his intimate acquaintance with the
requirements of western roads, from his
long connection with the Chicago, Bur
lingtoH & Quincy, that his appointment
will be accepted by the shareholders
ynd the public generally as evidence
that the management of Northern Pc
cifc will be in the hands of an execu
tive officer capable of developing the
property and securing for the stock
holders the returns to which they are
entitled" Signed, j. Pierpont Nor
gan, F. Billings, B. 2. Cheney, A. Bel
mont, John Q. Bullitt.
The report vas accepted and Harris
unanimously elected. Harris thanked
the directors for the honor and assumed
his duties Immediately.

Hot Springs. Ark, January IT,
Government work upon the improve
ment of Hot Springs creek was virtually
suspended to-day. The contractors left
several days since for Washington. 1t
is unlikely congress will make further
appropriations until an investigation is
had, which is earnestly requested by a
majority Of the citizens. The general
feeling there is that there has been
c~rookedness in the matter, but 1t is
thought to be confined to prominent
government officials more than to the
contractors.

DENVER, January 16.
To the Editor OF the LEADER.
Matters begin to more def
mite shape SC far as the G. A. R. con-
vention is concerned. lind this morn
ing that Sawyer, of Leadville, and
Stimson, of Denver, have both drawn
out of the race for the position of de-
partment commander. This leaves the
eight between General Carr and Sawyer,
Of Canon City, with Curry, of Denver,
as a sort OF dark horse. L think. how
ever, that Carr will ''get there" /
have just had a talk with General Carr,
and he assures me that he is morally
certain of 1876 votes on the first ballot,
which will be within a few of enough
to elect him.
Bob Ingersoll is here and will address
the convention this morning.
1t is claimed that the committee on
quartermaster's accounts has discovered
a mares nest, and that a considerable
amount Of money has gone somewhere
that cannot be accounted for. Judge
Fisher, who is chairman of the commit
tee, gets the credit of ferreting cut this
matter.
The judge will undoubtedly be Sc
lected for some important position, and
may be the vice commander.
There is much dissatisfaction among
the delegates at the action of the Den
yer post in electing Tabor an honorary
member of the G. A. R. This is almost
universal.
BY the way, at the next table from
mine at supper last night sat Tabor and
Baby Doe, with some other Denver
celebrities. Baby Doe is a pretty
healthy looking sort of a baby.
Tabor, Ex-Governor Pltkin, Norm
Medium, the old man Chaffee and
Others are here, and as Andy johnson
said of the United States congress
"They are a revolutionary body hang
ing on the verge of the government. :"
These gulleless old boys are trying to
''work" the G. A. r. boys on political
questions, but are not making much
Roadway. 1 should Judge.
The convention will elect officers
some time during the day, probably
this afternoon. SAGE BRUSH.

Satisfied officials.

st. Paul, Mimi, January 1.-THE
principal officers of the Northern Pacific
were interviewed this afternoon in re-
gard to the new president. The feel
ing seemed to be one of satisfaction
that the matter has been settled, as
the discipline of the road mas been
much demoralized by contending ru-
mors. The election of Harris gives
great satisfaction, and it is considered
certain that changes in heads of de-
partments will be made.

point out wherein the ~crookedness ex-
old veteran general who led 1000 men
up the slope of Round Top at Gettys-
burg, capturing and holding this key
to the rebel position, for this work at
the convention, and when his name
vas placed in nomination for one Of the
council of administrators, he received
the unanimous vote of the convention,
with the x option of twelve, that were
cast for another candidate as a mere
matter of compliment.
j.. X. Jeffrey, the commander of the
post here, by his courteous and gentle
manly conduct, won the respect and
esteem of all the members of the con-
vention. General Carr constantly
relied on him as his right hand man,
and he probably did more in an honor
able way to secure the generals cleo
ton than any other man at the conven-
ton. He was made the chief muster
ing officer of the department, a very
important office, by the unanimous
consent and approval of everybody.
By virtue of this Office he becomes ex-
oficio member of the council of ad-
ministration.
Colonel Schnitger appeared a general
fsyorite with all, and without seeking
or expecting it he was nominated as
one of the representatives to the ma
tional convention. He-got up to de-
cline, but was greeted on all sides with
cries of ''sit down, sit down." and
when he was elected by reclamation, a
delegate shouted out, ''that's one time
when the south got away with the
north"
Messrs. Whipple, Julian and Cod
dard were working all the time, always
promptly in attendance at every session
OF the convention, and worked hand In
hand and side by side as comrades
will with Jeffry, Fisher and Schnitger,
who took a more leading part, and al
together a delegation never went abroad
from this city for any purpose, whose
department or work reflected more
credit on Cheyenne than did this dele
cation, which has just returned from
its completed mission. The convention
was in the main a very harmonious,
digni6ed and enthusiastic one. Chey-
enne and its recent delegation are cell
taInly under many obligations for the
respect and courtesy extended to them
by their brethren and comrades Of the
centennial state"
The vote at the convention for de-
partment commander stood: Carr,
1873; Curry, 80; Bowen, l. This matter
as to how the vote stood, like all other
proceedings of the convention, was sup
posed to be kept a profound secret, and
yet in less than ten minutes after the
convention took a recess, the LEADERS,
reporter had ascertained all about it.
But one other reporter succeeded in get
ting hold of this matter at all.

Blown Up.

Denver, January 17.-Last night the
residence of John NJ. Gnrk, a miner of
Leadyille, was blown up by giant pow
der. A lighted candle placed in the
window set fire to the curtains and
soon communicated to the woodshed,
where the powder was stored. AS soon
as Mrs. Gurk discovered the fire she
realized the danger. She caught up
three little children and rushed into the
street. She had barely reached a place
of safety when the explosion occurred,
literally blowing the house to atoms.

AND TAR.

For che cure of coughs, colds, inhu-
enza, hoarseness, difficult breathing and
Rn affections OF the throat, bronchial
tubes and lungs leading to corsump-
zion. This sovereign remedy is com
bounded from the favorite reoipe of an
illustrious physician and chemist, who
Tor many years used it with the most
complete success in his extensive pri-
vate practice. He had long been pro-
foundly impressed with the wonderful
virtue OF the plant h%orehound, In union
with the cleansing and healing proper
Bies of tar, extracted from the life prin-
siple of the forest tree Abies Balsemea,
pr Balm of Gilead. For years he was
baf1ed in his attempts to blend these
great medicinal forces into such a union
that the original power of each would
be preserved, the disag reeable qualities
of common tar removed, and the price
pf the compound be within the reach of
All. At last, after a long course OF
difficult chemical experiments, he found
that, by adding to those five other in
gradients, each one valuable by itself
be not only obtained the desired re-
quilts, but greatly increased the curative
power of the compound. This, having
been thoroughly tested by practice, is
now offered to the general pvblic as q
bafe, pleasant and infallible remedy,
