New YORK, April 26.-The examins.
ton Of the Dis De Bar case was continued
to-day and Lawyer Marsh testified at
length regarding his acquaintance with
the Madame, his belief in spook pictures,
etc. He believed the woman was really
the daughter of Lola Montez and was
under the impression that she was the
daughter Of the King Of Bavaria. Wit
ness firmly believed the pictures and

MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE.
Such IL the Verdict OF the Jury Mt
Waveriy Against Billings.

WAvERLy. April 25.-When the jury
in the Billings trial filed up to the court
house this morning few people followed
or preceded them. 1t was little expected
that verdict had been reached, every
one having settled down to the conclusion,
owing to the length of time the jury had
been out. that there would be a disagree
ment. When the jury reached the court
house the judge was in his seat, and the
prisoner and attorneys in their places.
Hardly had the Hear yc, hear ye," Of
the sheriff calling the court to order ceased
re- echoing in the almost deserted court
room when the clerk called the jury roll
and the foreman rendered the Judge their
scaled decision, who, after contemplating
it in silence for moment, passed il to
the clerk who read 1t in loud voice;
1--WE, the jury. find the defendant
guilty of murder in the second degree"
Then, for the first time during the long
and tedious trial. did the prisoner display
any particular emotion. A tremor went
over his whole frame, his lips twitChed
nervOusly and his pale face turned even
a shade paler, but he recovered himself
in an instant and his countenance again
assumed the same stolid expression of in
difference it has worn from the first day
of the trial. Mis- attorney Immediately
excepted to the verdict and was given
until to. morrow to prepare motion for a
new trial. This will undoubtedly be de-
MED and sentence pronounced. The YER
dict meets the general approval of the
public, though majority favored the ex-
IRENE penalty, which would have been
but for the obstinacy of one of the
twelve Jurors.

of Beaver City, No Mans Land, made
an argument this morning before the
House Committee on Territories, in favor
of action on No Mans Land bill, now on
the calendar of the House. He spoke Of
the lawlessness Astounding in his country
and the necessity there was of some kind
of laws and officers to preserve order.
The President approved the following
acts: For bridge across the Mississippi
at Memphis. to facilitate the prosecution
of the works projected for the improve
ment of the rivers and harbors, and
granting to Duluth, Rainy Peak River
and South railway company right. of-way
through certain Indian lands in Mime
sJta.
There is disposition on the part of &
majority of the committee to indefinitely
postpone action on both the original and
substitute lard bills on account of the
feeling that has been worked up against
the general proposition. The members
of the cotton seed producing districts
have been so wrought up against what
they regard as a blow at their industries
that they threaten to attack the whole
hog product if the bill is brought up on
the floor in this Congress and to filibuster
against its massage
