FOR MUrINY.
A Hearing in the Case of the Killing OF
the Captain OF the British Bark
wellington at Sea.

LONDON, Jan. 81.
The inquest in the case of Capt. Armstrong,
who was killed by his crew on board the
British bark Wellington last Monday, WAS
resumed si Plymouth this afternoon. The
proceedings were much delayed by very
suspicious circumstance which was reported
of the Wellington. just as the coroner was
about to commence the hearing last night,
the bark was found stuck fast in the mud al
her anchorage. Tugs were procured and she
was pulled of and anchored elsewhere. This
morning the craft was found away from the
site Of the second anchorage, and stranded
upon the beach directly under Plymouth Hoe
between the city and the sound. She vas
cleared of the third time. anchored and
placed under surveillance. The police sus-
pect that members of the crew. who were
more or less implicated in the killing of Capt.
Armstrong, but who have managed TO avoid
arrest in their anxiety to help their less fort
unate comrades by destroying all possible
evidence against them, slipped the ships
cable during the night in the hope that the
craft would float out and be wrecked and
sunk.
The four prisoners. Charles Patterson,
first mate. Jno. Summerdyke, Jirgen Jorgen-
cen and Charles Jones, were present. Sum
merdyke belongs in New Jersey and Patter-
son in New Orleans. Jorgensen swore that
Capt. Armstrong, at the time he met his
death, had been in state of frenzy from
drink. He had been chasing the crew about
the ship with revolver. The witness and
three others hid below the poop ladder, and
there awaited Armstrong, determined to seize
and overpower him. Whe3 he descended
the ladder, still hunting for some one TO
shoot, they knocked him down, and finding
tina, he was stunned, placed him in IRONS and
removed him to the cabin, where he died tw o
hours atterward.
Chas Jones testified that at the time of
the assault upon the captain, he was 80 feet
away from the scene of the scuflie.
Summerdyke said he held Armstrong; legs
while he was being overpowered, and took
the revolver from him. He could, he said.
prove who it was that struck the captain after
he was down.
Patterson swore that he had nothing to do
with the killing, and protested against the
injustice of the others.
The prisoners were remanded for one week
TO await the testimony of witnesses.

individual motions to suspend the rules will
be In order, and a number of members will
endeavor by this means to secure the passage
OF specified measures. A two-thirds vote
Will be necessary to pass any bill that may be
considered.
Representative Collins will ask the House
to pass the bankruptcy bill, and Repre- senta-
tive Watson, bill for the incIease of the
pensions of soldiers widows from IS TO Sl2
a month.
1t is the general opinion that the remainder
of the week will be taken up by the consider
alton of the river and harbor and posto flee
appropriation bills. If opportunity offers,
however, Representative Healey will call up
the bill providing for the forfeiture of the
Northern Pacific land grant Townshend
contempates offering resolution during the
week providing for night sessions of the
House
The consular and diplomatic appropriation
bill is before the Senate, and the District of
Columbia, pension and agricultural bills are
likely to be reported back from the sppro-
priations committee during the week. Ii is
probable that some of these measures will
give rise to extended debate.
The Interstate commerce bill is still the
unfinished business of the Senate after the
morning hour, and the discussion of the
Pacific railroad bill has already been begun
in the morning hour.
Mr. Morrill, gave notice last week that he
would seek an opportunity next Tuesday to
make some ramarks upon the silver coinage
bill. This measure is likely to give rise to a
long debate involving nearly every branch of
national finance.

LATER DEVELOPMENTS
In the Newbold Case-DiscOvery OF n
Plot to Blow UP Hall.

LONDON, Jan. 81.
Later developements in the Newbold case
at Derby are exciting much attention, and
constantly grow more serious. 1t Is stated
that the police have discovered among the
prisoners papers, documents which reveal
a dynamite plot of considerable magnitude.
The principal letter produced at the examina-
ton of the prisoner contained the details Of a
conspiracy to blow up the Derby town hall.
This letter was written from Derby. Ii was
not in Nevbold's handwriting, but the en-
velope contained his address, which was
proved to have been penned by himself, so
that the recident might know where to send
the answer. During the proceedings the
prisoner was very much agitated. At the
time the letter was written and at the time OF
his arrest, Newbold was employed in the
Derby shops of the Midland Railway COM
psny. Orders had been sent from London 10
detain and search all suspicion. persons trav.
elling over the Midland road.

ground on which the attempt 10 throw
