Huntington Sniff.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2l.-The Patton Hunt
ington suit was continued to-day. The
cross-examination of Huntington was
resumed. He said he never ordered the
books of the Contract Il Finance COM
pany to be burned, or did he believe he
had heard the books were burned. His
profits out of the Central Pacific railroad
were less than Il, 900 900. Stewart, Patton,
Agnew and Aspinwall had been friends
OF the witness and he thought he would
buy their stock and give them a good
price for it. Witness wanted TO fiXit so
they would not lose any money. He
put little money into his banking
account from the profits of the
Central Pacific and taking shares of
Contract 81 Finance company.
On redirect examination the witness
SAID that during the past fifteen years
ne had been engaged in ten separate en-
terprlses. lie had railroads to build and
operate, steamship companies to con-
troll, aud also his hardware and metal
trades. He had subordinates under
MN, but did not LOOK into all details.
Ills theory OF business was to trust n
man all IN all or not at all. He never
got as much for the stock he purchased
from plaintiffs as he paid for it, 1t was
losing operation. He did not know
much about bookkeeping. He carried
his bookkeeping in q high hat for n
good many years. He was not an easy
writer. When he went to school he had
the credit of being the poorest writer
there. He would rather have been
compelled to saw wood than write, and
he never wrote unless he was compelled
to do it.
On the redirect examination Huptinos
ton said he had never paid any money
directly into the Contract u Finance
company. lie was an officer of the Cen
trail Pacific, and was selling certificates
and sending money to Mr.. Hopkins.
The railroad cost over 100000 q mile.
The Contract d Finance company paid
the debts. II could not have got the
money unless it was paid by the stock
holders. He could not say ifthe Central
Pacific company paid in anything. This
concluded Mr.. Huntington's testimony.

Before the September Court for Four
Liquor Cases.

CAMDEN, Aug. 81.
Since the formation of the Law and Order
League last March effective work has been
done in the suppression and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors. Three places were at once
stopped and have not sold since. Two places
only in the town have defied the law, one the
Bay View House at Camden, and the other
the Carleton House at Rockport The Bay
View paid $50 for single sale and 500 for
nuisance at the March term, and the Garlic
ton House also paid 500 under the nuisance
act. Since then there have been three sue
cessful cases of search and seizure at the
Bay View, two of them being liquor and one
the dump, and also one case as common
seller, and one for single sale, all of which
five cases will come before the September
court, the proprietor of the Bay View now
being under bonds for his appearance there.
Officers Day and Montgomery have attended
to these cases without noise or disturbance,

An INSULT.
A Pastor Assaulted in the Pulpit for
Preaching a Grant Memorial sermon.

YORK, Pa, Aug. 81.
Rev. j. F. Shurltz of Shrewsbury, pastor
of the circuit embracing the Winterstowp
Evangelical church. some time ago an
nounced that yesterday he would preach
Grant memorial sermon. j. H. b. Fulton, a
well-known resident, gave notice that such a
sermon should not be preached in that church.
Little attention WAS paid to his threat and on
Sunday Rev. Mr.. Shultz announced his text
and proceeded with his text enumerating the
great men of anc :ent and modern times.
Fulton sat quietly until Gen. Grants name
was mentioned when he sprang to his feet
brandishing his arms and cried to the minis
ter to stop that" The preacher continued
his discourse and Fulton advanced up the
aisle. Great confusion prevailed, which
reached . crisis when the angry member
sprang into the pulpit and violently assaulted
the minister, knocking him down. A rush
was made by the congregation to defend the
pastor and in the melee one man received u
blow from Fulton's fist and another had his
clothing badly torn. Order was finally re-
stored and the sermon finished. Fulton will
probable be prosecuted. His action has
aroused great indignation.

A FEARFUL MALADl

A score of those attacked have died in the
greatest agony within a few hours after seiz-

is now believed to be another and more fatal
malady. 1t is confined chiefly to children
who are attacked and die in few hours,

THE INDIAN LANDS.
Gen. Butler Proposes to Sue President
Cleveland.

New YORK, Aug. 81.
The Herald's Long Branch correspondent
telegraphs that Gen Buffers recent visit To
Block Island, which was alleged to have a
political significance, was made in connec-
tion with the presidents order regarding the
removal of cattle from Indian lands. A cor
respondent interviewed Col. Corkhll, for
merlv District Attorney of the District of
Columbia, son-in-law of Justice Miller of the
United States Supreme Court.
Col. Corkhill is credited with saying
"You have seen, of course, the order of
President Cleveland. directing the owners of
cattle on Indian lands in the west to vacate
their grazing ground. Ben Butler is him
self one of the proprietors of large ranch
and his clients apd personal friends represent
many millions of capital thus invested. The
order is therefore of very great consequence
and importance to them and he was prepar-
ing to sue the President of the United States
and the object Of his visit was to ask a pre-
liminary order restraining the execution of
the proclamation of the president until the
questions involv ed could be decided by the
court.
Gen. Buffers object was to secure an order
from Judge Miller. Judge Beachford being
absent from his circuit, and not easy of ac-
cess Gen. Butler, as ! have said, represents
many mllll0ns OF dollars invested by his
clients, and presented very cogent reasons
for some order that would protect them. The
order was not issued and did not here any
of the conversation with Judge Miller about
il.
If the cattle are not moved / suppose the
President will direct the secretary of war to
direct Gen. Sheridan to direct Major General
Pope to direct Colonel Blank to order Cap
tam Blank to detail Lieut.. Blank to remove
the cattle from a certain locality, and Lieut.
Blank will be the nominal defendant in all
the proceedings" "Then there will be a
fiRhtT asked the correspondent. eyes,
know from what General Butler said that
there will be long and bitter fight" "Will
the cattle be moved?"
"Of course not. You couldn't move a
colored picnic, let alone 800, 900 head of cat
tie by any mere proclamation, let it issue
from the President or any one else. Yes, the
fight will be made. 1t includes important
questions, rights Of property, power of In
dians to make contracts and the power and
authority of the government to interfere. OF
one thing rest assured. The cattle will stay
The fight will go on"

FISH Err HILL.
The City of Boston Defrauded Out OF
$4,000.

BosrON, Aug. 81.
Aldermen Hart representing the Board of
Aldermen on the Fisher Hill investigation
committee, made his report to the mayor
Monday. He finds that if the truth could
have been ascertained it would have proved
a conspiracy between George A Wilson and
Chairman William A. Simmons of the water
board to defraud the city of $4,000 and that
the conspiracy was carried out by Wilson
purchasing land on Fisher Hill for $4l 900,
and Immediately selling it - the citv for
$9l 900. Simmons and Hobbs of the water
board, both knew, the report says, that this
land could have been bought for less than
one half the price paid for it and did not at
tempt to protect the city. There is no evil
dence to connect DR.. Blake in any way with
the transaction.
The recommendations are that the mayor
cause the evidence to be laid before the dis
trict attorney, that the mayor put the case
for recovery of money in the hands of the
corporation counsel.

They represented that = rigid enforcement of

if the court is to be crippled in its clerical
