The Borhau Murder Trial.
4nan;nl A IA ReniEkan.

=
sr. C1uRsyIILB, March ll.--In the Bor-
ham, murder case to-day the evidence OF
Shannon Archer and John McMahon, the
two principal witnesses ofthe tragedy, was
listened to with intense interest. Mr.
Samuel Day, the widow Of the murdered
man, gave her testimony in clear voice,
but requested that the bloody gar
meuts worn by her husband DO
removed from in front Of the
stand before she occupied it. The ante
mortem statement Of Day was testified to by
Drs. Close and Steers, who said Day said
Borham had killed him for his money.
This testimony was excepted to. Atthree
o'clock the State rested and until six o clock
testimony for the defense was introduced
The evidence is somewhat contradictory
and opinions differ as to what kind OF a case
the State made. The verdict will probably
be the compromise one of manslaughter.

For sec, 1000 But Friends OF the Victim
Stop Payment.
CLEVELAND, March ll.-While j. A. Vim
cent, a retired merchant, was looking after
the tenants ofsome property on Monday he
was met by a genteel looking, middle aged
man, who said he wanted to rent house
and asked Vincent to accompany him home,
where they would consult his partner.
Upon arriving, they we're met by another
man who said they were engaged
in a lottery scheme, and with
out further ado, he proceeded to
shuttle some cards which he held in his
hand. He then turned one of them over
and announced to Vincent that he had
drawn a prize of $4,000. He then said
that, in order to secure his prize, Vincent
would be required to deposit 10000 as an
equivalent for the prize. Vincent, who is
very feeble-minded, drew his check on the
Commercial National Band for $4,000.
Friends got wind of the scheme, however,
and stopped payment of the check. The
men, it seems, had an intimstion Of the pro-
ceedngs, and did not present the check, but
Immediately left toSn and have not been
heard of since.

Special 70 ne Register.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. March ll.-There
was another general disappointment about
the Senate to-day when the nominations
reached that body. Instead Of long list
there were only three names sent in and
numerous expectants expressed their dis
satisfaction at the dilatoriness of the sd-
minisration in terms more emphatic thar
complimentary. After the hungry Office
seekers have gone home and their lengthy
petitions have been buried in oblivion, the
places that are to be filed will
be carefully gone over and the
best men that can be found among
those who have not rushed with spears on
rest at the President on his first appearance
will he selected-not because they want the
offices, but because of their qualifications
1t is not thought that long petitions are 60
ing to do any good, as many members OF
Congress who sign them would not do so if
they expected any result to follow. The
greatest fear among the members Of Con-
gress is lest Cleveland pays too much re-
spect to the tenure Of Office act. They say
they are waiting to see whether the Repub-
ican pOstmasters and revenue and customs
collectors are to be allowed to retain
their hold until the expiration of their
respective terms. II Cleveland allows this
they say there will be little short of revo-
luton. AS to the lower department places
they expect the civil service law to be en-
forced and will make no fuss about it.
There is some doubt as to how the Senate
wvuld act if New appointments were made
in the place Of Republicans whose terms
have not yet expired, and this in additional
source Of uneasiness. To avoid trouble
with the Senate at the outset, it is under
stood that the President will wait until that
body has adjourned before attempting TO
make any of these appointments.

Saved by a Cool Head,

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, March ll.-Sherif
Dewitt, of Clay county, was attacked by
five prisoners in the Jail at Gresncove, on
Monday noon, when he went in to give
them their dinner He fought desperately,
but was being oyerpo Sersd, when colored
man named Lewis Robinson, who was pass
ing By, heard the noise Rushing up to a
grating Of the Jail he looked in, and seeing
the state of affairs he thrust revolver
through the bars and commanded the
prisoners to release the sheriff. The men
relunctanly went back to their cells, leaving
the officer in bruised and helpless condi-
ton. The negro's courageous act no doubt
saved the sheriff s life.
