Unexpected EVIDENCE.

NEW York, Feb. 1.-THE interesting
feature Of the trial of Police Captain
Williams was the testimony of Frank
Walling, 81 years old, the son Of the
police superintendent. Frank is a sales
maj in a Church street linen house. He
said he had been a gambler in Indiana
last fall, and upon his return to New
York he INDUCED in this passion to a re-
markable extent He named a dozen
places in the twenty-ninth precinct where
he played roulette, faro and other games,
with varying success for a time, but finally
with a disastrous result On Jan. 9 he
found that he owed $500, and he went to
his father and made a clean breast Of the
matter. His father gave him what money
he needed, and required that he should
go to the district attorney and tell him
what he knew of the existence of these
gambling places. II am sworn to do my
duty. and l cannot shirk,' said the super
intendent. Frank also told Commissioner
Porter the facts. The defense was sur
prised at the evidence.

Contradictory News from the Nile.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Standard this
afternoon publishes a dispatch from its
correspondent at Korti, stating that a
messenger had just arrived at Korti who
declares that Khartoum has not been cap
tured by the Mahdi. The messenger as
serts that he left Khartoum six days after
Col. Wilson appeared before the city in
boats sent from Gubat, and when he
(the m~essenger) left, Gen. Gordon was
still at the head of the Khartoum gov
eminent. The officials do not believe the
messenger story.
Another dispatch from Korti states that
the messengers who arrived there from
Khartoum profess ignorance regarding
