GENERAL FOREIGN DISPATCHES.

LONDON, October 30.-The trial of the
defendants in the Eliza Armstrong case
drags along slowly. The Jurors already
exhibit some impotence q. the slow man
ner in which the defense is concluding the
trial. To day several of the Jurors asked
to be informed when the case would prob.
ably close. Judge L'fes, rep, jig, said
the jury might as we'll ask him to
inform them as to the date on which
the Day OF Judgment would fall. He
was ignorant of the intentions of the de.
tendatts counsel, and ended by suggest
ing that those gentlemen might be able TO
enIighten the jury on that point. Mr.. Rus
sell, 2 c., Of counsel for the defense, then
lntimated that the case for the defense
would probably close Wednesday Mrs.
jarrett, who consumed the whole Of yester
day in giving evidence, resumed the wit
nees stand and continued her testimony.
At the conclusion of Mrs. Jsrretts tes.
tlmoDy she was taken in hand by the
Crown attorney, ard subjected to rigid
cross-examinstion. Her evidence on sew
eral points has already been badly shaken.
On being pressed BY Justice Lopes TO an
swer certa:a questions during the cross.
examination she swore that Mrs. Armstrong
allowed her daughter to 90 with her for
immoral purposes without having any idea
as TO what amount Of money she would
get; she denied having conducted herself
immoralty with the husband Of Mrs Ann
Broughton, but admitted having sent i'm
moral letters.
Justice Lopes here cautioned Mrs. Jar
rett against not answering honestly.
Mrs. Jarrett admitted that her letters
contained talsehoods, and said Mr.. Stead
gave her SO to procure Eliza. She he.
lieYed that the Lilly OF the Pail Mall Ga
zet,e story, was Eliza Armstrong.
Mrs. Jarrett is breaking down under the
cross examination.
Mrs Jarrett continuing, said that che
had once kept brorhels and that she had
procured little girls for immoral purposea

Of outlying hamlets has population OF
only 1000 people. The buildings are

AN ISOLATED TOWN.
The National road to the east and the

served to isolate it for thirty years, and
consequently to prevent rapid growth.
The Baltimore ard Ohio has graded one
branch from its main stem TO the town,

begun the construction Of a branch to oc-

in 1860. The population in 1860 WAS
7l9; in 1870, 7S7; in lsS0 7l5, ard now,
with the extensions OF the borough limits
and the natural increase in population, the

MoRGASTOwY, ". Va, October 29.-The
one hundreth anniversary of the founding
of the village of Morgantown was observed
to day with all the pomp and circumstance
that rural facilities would allow The
houses of every one Of the inhabitants
were handsomely decorated with flags and
bunGug, md evergreen and sprigs OF
laurel, while the innumerable arches Of
evergreen and laurel were strung across
the three or four streets of tie town at
pleatipg intervals Morgsntovn is not
large place for its age, but it is intensely
respectable and its inhabitants, old and
young have an intense, innate love for it and
think 1t is as picturesque and beautiful in
its environment Of mountains as the
historic Alpine villages. 1t is in fact q
typical Virginia town The men who
founded it survive in their children and
their grandchildren. The names on the
OhoolOHts, llycs COEeEtu anu O.u, are setD
on the signs that hang creakiug f;om rusty
tastenings in dingy weather boarding. or

EDs!and in the days Of Crazy George
The celebration 10 dIy, despite the for.
bidding weather, was Of the most gratifying
character. Thousands locked in from the
country, while the contributions from the
counties abuuing on Monopgalla were very
large Bands of all kinds were on hands
