q DIsS DE BAR CONSPIRACY CASE.

The Defense Quotes Scripture to the Judge but
to no Avail-He Turns Them Over to the
Jury.
New YORK, June 1.-THE Diss De Bar
conspiracy trial was continued to-day.
Albert Bierstadt, the artist, testified that
in the pretended production of the
spirit picture for him by the
madame he detected General Diss
De Bar in the act Of substituting
the picture for TIE plain canvass in the
frame which he [Bierstadt) held on his
head. The Madame and the General
afterward substantially acknowledged
their fraud by saying they wished to
60 into some legitimate business
and witness loaned them $500 for that
purpose. The counsel for the defense
asked for the discharge of the accused.
He wanted the court to beware lest it per-
secuted a woman for all that man
could know might be the medium
through which the Infinite being made
his manifestations. He quoted from the
Bible to sustain spiritualistic theories.
The court did not look at it that way and
allowed the case to go TO the jury.

EXPENSES OF THE FEDERAL COURTS.

Increased Litigation NeeeSsitateS Increased
Estimates.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Tne acting at-
torney general today sent to the house
revised estimates aggregeting S1,760,000
for certain expenses of the United
States courts for the fiscal year 1889. In
explanation OF this revision, the acting
attorney general says the department. IL
estimating expenses of the United States
courts for 1889 followed the custom for
merry practiced without being aware that
the estimate which had been made for the
fiscal year 1888 would prove 10 be far
below the actual necessities. he says the
increased expenses for the present
fiscal rear grew out OF an increased acsiv-
ity IN he prosecution of timber trespass-
ers of increased business from Indian
territory, and of the execution of
the laws against polygamy and its
kindred crimes. He says it is believed
that during the coming fiscal year there
will be q recurrence of similar causes, ere
ating similar expenses that are not with
in the control of the attorney general.
For this reason the acting attorney gen
eral asks for revised estimates.

RATES BETWEEN OMAHA AND CHICAGO

The Reduction in Live Stock Rates Necessi-
tates Corresponding Reduction in
Dressed Beef Rates.
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE recent reduc-
tion in live stock rates between Missouri
river points and Chicago caused by max
ing the 34-f0ot car standard has made
it necessary to drop dressed beef rates
In the same proportion from Omaha and
Council Bluffs. The so called Hammond
contract into which the several lines en-
tered some time ago provides that the rate
on dressed beef from Omaha to Chicago
shall be determined by taking the live
stock rates as a basis, deducting per
cent. from the average rate per 100
pounds on cattle. Chairman Faithorn
finds that the rate which could now apply
on dressed beef in carloads under the
Hammond contract is % 60. 100 per 100
pounds. The tariffs were accordingly
amended and put into effect to day.

indicates that another will probably be
