der Trial Mt Cambridge, o.
Special Dtspdteh to he LHtaliOaesr.
CAMBRIDGE, O., Dec. 9.-The Shoots
murder trial will enter upon its second
week tomorrow, and it looks now like
the third week would be pretty well run
before the end is reached. The State did
not finish its evidence in chief on Satur-
day and will not rest before Monday
evening, II then. The defense will occu-
py at least four or five days with its evil
dence in chief.
The jury is bearing its enforced con-
anement in charge Of two officers OF the
court with very much less grace than
the accused, who looked very contented
for woman whose life is in jeopardy,
as she sat in her cell this morning quiet
ly arranging her baby's toilet. Mrs.
Shoots does not look hardened crimi-
nal by any means, and while the many
who have heard the crushing evidence
against her produced by the State and
believe her guilty as charged, see no
other way to account for the death OF
little Carrie Shoots, they pause when
they see the mother so accused fondling
her little child, and ask for some mo-
tive that may account for such q b, lots
crime against nature.
Court was in session but half OF the
day Saturday, adjourning at noon to
allow the GAINESVILLE lawyers to spend
Sunday at home. The State offered ad-
ditional expert testimony.
Prof. Howard, the chemist who
analysed the viscera OF Carrie Shoots,
was recalled and stated that chemical
analysis forthe detection Of Paris green
would generally result in the discovery
OF more arsenic than was actually pres
ent in the organs anRlyzed, and that
there would also be variation in the
quantity OF copper found.
This testimony was offered by the
prosecution 10 account for the fact that
the analysis revealed the presence OF ar
senic and copper in the chifd's stomach
in proportions differing slightly from
the proportions in which they exist in
Paris green, n circumstance that the de-
Tense took advantage OF.
Dir. I. J. Barton, OF GAINESVILLE, was re-
called and long Hypothetical question
propounded to him. Court adjourned
while the examination was in progress.
There is one feature Of the trial which
is worthy Of remark. The court smiles
occasionally over its spectacles ut the
bad breaks OF counsel, the specteters
laugh, and even the counsel give way TO
mirh once in while, but the grave
faces OF the twelve men in the jury box
never show line of merriment, but
grow graver day by day.

Grand Jury Takes Weeks Recess.

Fifty Witnesses Testify against Him-The
Grand Jury Takes Weeks Recess.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 9.-The Federal
grand jury adjourned yesterday until
December II, without bringing in any
indictment. The official announcement
is that adjournment was taken because
Judge Woods has to go to Fort Wayne
to hold court there. tits said that another
reason is that the District Attorneys
office is anxious to have more time in
which to work up the case against Dud-
ley.
They had host OF witnesses on hand
yesterday morning, aud while many
were examined, nearly as many were
told that their testimony would not be
needed, and sent away. There were u
lot OF chairmen OF the Republican county
committees from different parts OF the
State. The prosecution has been calling
all those whom they had reason 10 be-
lieve received the Dudley letter, in order
to show how widespread and general
throughout the State WAS the effort to
get up the alleged conspiracy to bribe.
That many OF the chairman did not
get the letter is evidenced by the fact
that several OF those present to.lay were
sent home without being called, afier
they had been interviewed by the pros.
ecuting officials. Chairmen Bennett, OF
Vanderberg; Bearss, Of Miami, and NAL
lory OF Floyd, were among these, and
they said before they returned home
that they had never seen the letter until
1t was printed, and didn't know OF its
having been circulated in their parts OF
the State. .u..
One of the witnesses who was called
yesterday was Chairman Jewett, OF the
Democratic State Committee. 1t has al
ways been said that the copy of the let
ter that was afterward printed came into
his hands first, from the man to whom
it was originally addressed. Whether
he told the jury who that man was is
doubtful, MS there is understood to be a
determination among the Democrats to
protect the person who gave them the
letter.
Fully Atty witnesses have now been
called who are supposed to have given
testimony in the Dudley case, and there
are many TO be heard yet.

Indiana Farmers Organize to Prevent n
Spread of the Disease.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Dec. 9.-For some
time past hog cholera has been prevalent
in the counties Of Pike, Gibson and
Warwick, which lie in the extreme
southern part of the State. The disease
continued to spread until the stockmen
became alarmed and began an investi-
CATION. They found that the live hogs
were in the habit Of eating the
dead ones, and that crows and buzzards
also assisted in spreading the disease by
carrying pieces Of flesh from one neigh
borhood TO another.
To prevent this the swine raisers have
organized u shotgun brigade, and will
proceed at once to exterminate these
carrion-loying birds. Whenever posi-.
Bic the bodies Of the dead porkers will
he burned.

PETERSBURG, Va, Dec. 0.-Chairman
Quay, OF the Republican National Com

arrived here Saturday afternoon on the
fast train from Washington, and i'm.

They were accompanied from Washing.
ton by Mr.. Butler Malone. Messrs.
Quay and Cameron are here, it is said,
for The purpose Of having conference
with Malone in reference to politics in
the South, and especially here in Vir-
gibia. The principal object OF this visit
Is believed to be conference with Gen
eral Malone in reference to his claim
for the office OF Postmaster General.
Quay and Cameron are friends Of Ma
hone, and II is believed by the friends
Of the General here in Petersburg that
they will use their influence to secure
HIM that office in President Harrison't
Cabinet that he desires. Cameron and
Malone are largely interested in the

1t is more than probable that within the
next day or two they will leave here t
look after their interests.

Tho RIotous Miners Not SubduNd-state
Troops Ordered to tho Scene.
Sr. LOUIS, Dec. DIT now seems q
settled fact that the disturbances at Be-
vicr, No., where the serious riot occur
red on the night OF the 9th, are by no
means settled and that the future must
develop more serious disturbances. 1t
is said that when any OF the strikers at
Beyier go elsewhere to work they are re-
fused work il it is known they came
from Bevier and belong to the labor con-
federation there. As long as the strike
is continued at Bevier, these
strikers receive support from
the State considerations. 1t is said that
il the State refuses to interfere thOre
will be more armed men to go to Bevier
and the people will soon have more men
killed there than they will be willing to
buy collins for. The disarming Of both
sides at Bevier is hard thing to do.
Gen. JamisOn says the only way it can
be done is for the Governor TO declare
the town under martialiaw.
There are two armed bodies OF men,
many in barricades, and if any one on
either side fires off his gun, whether &c,
cidentally or not, it is war signal, and
the war begins. Adiutant General jam
ison was at Beyier yesterday in consHlta'
ton with leading citizens, and the con-
clusion reached was that the only effect
the sending OF militia to Bevier would
have would be temporary and it was
decided to ask Governor Morris to come
to Bevier. The Governor wired back
that he would be there to-day. Last
night the store buildings OF Loomis and
Snively, the leading miners Of Bevier,
were burned, and it is claimed the fire
must have been incendiary.
The Third Regiment Of Kansas City,
reported to be ordered to be here to-day,
are old timers and ready to march when
called upon.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Erening

ing of great anxiety and depression
among all the leaders of tie Dem
ocratic party in the House, on ac'
count OF the course being followed
by the Democratic Senators in the
tariff matter. They are almost disheart'
ened by it. The Democrats OF the Ways
and Means put their souls into the fight
in the House, and feel that the battle
is still on and must be kept up to
the last. They think the Senate
bill should be fought with
the greatest persistency and vigor, 50
the every defect in it may be exposed,
and feel that any other course toward ii
would be equivalent almost to comics;
sion OF judgment. They are surprised
at the passive way in which the Demo
cratic Senators appear to be conducting
themselves.
