Justice Eield.s story.

Sax Francisco, September 5.-En the case
of deputy U. s. Marshal Nagie more tesii-
mony was adduced to-day, showing that
Terry habitualIy went armed and INDUCED

Deputy Nagle and myself entered the din
| ing room at Iathrop for breakfast. and soon
after taking our seats Terry and his wife en-
tered AS they passed down the aisle Mrs.
Terry glanced at me for moment, and then
turned and left the place. Judge Terry seat
ed himself, but arose Immediately and came
toward me- Before realizing what he in
tended to do felt powerful blow on my
cheek. turned around and saw Terry's
giant form towering over me. With his

say, stop. sm an officer. ! then
heard two pistol shots in quick succession
and saw Terry fall 10 the floor. was dazed
for a moment, but soon realized that Terry
had received death wound asd arose and
left the room.
Justice Field further testified that be be-
lieved that il Nagle had not shot Terry he
(Field) would have been dead within ihe
next five seconds. The expression Of Terry's
face when he raised his hand TO strike a
second blow could not be mistaken. II was
fun Of malice and murder Justice Field de-
clared that he had never had any difficulty
with Terry prior to the Sharon decision a
year age. They had been on the most
friendly terms. Terry had often tried cases
before him, andon entering court had always
spoken pleasantly, During the last year or
two, however, be seemed TO have entirely
changed and TO have lost his respect for the
courts. Justice Field added that the story
of his having asked Terry TO support him for
President some years ago was pure fiction.
Mr.. Nsgie will probably be examined to-
morrow.

young woman who suicided at Niagara Falls
yesterday morning is said to be Anna Mead,
of this city. Miss Mead LEFT her home at
No. 80 Water street Wednesday morning at
O'Clock, ostensibly TO take walk, and that
was the last time she was seen by her pa
rents.
The description of the suicide tallies with
that of the missing girl. Yesterday her pa
rents received a letter post marked Niagara
Falls There was no date on il, and no name
was signed to it. but the writing was reeog-
nized as that OF the missing girl The letter
read:

came here is that there is a possibility that
my body will not not be found and hope it
never will. nobody is to blame bat myself
Miss Mead was twenty-five years Of age.
No reason can be given for the foolish act.
She was generally considered merry, light

Green Goods Dealers.


NEW YORK, September detective Henry
MeArdle, Of the Twenfy-third sub precinct.
Friday night arrested James Donnelly, Of
1922 Third avenue. on a charge of being en-
gagged in the green goods business. On Fri
day afteraoon Donnelly met Frank Canuck,
of Independence Ind. at the Grand Central
depot by appointment, ana took him to
place 70 show him some goods. MrArdle
has been suspicious of Donnelly for some
time. When he heard that Donnelly had
gone away with man from the country he
watched for their return. About 730 o'clock
Friday night the two men entered the Grand
Union Hotel, Canuck carrying under his
arm a small square box. MrAfdle took both
men into custody.
AT the station house it was found that the
box contained seven packages, bound with
rubber bands. On the top and bottom Of
each was good one dollar bill, and the rest
was green paper. In the Yorkville Police
Court to-day Canuck said that the goods
shown him were all one dollar bills, and
that be was to pay $500 for 50 500 worth of
the goods shown him. Donnelly had ae
companied him to the Grand Union Hotel to
show the goods to friend before Canuck
paid down the $50.
Donnelley was remanded, and canuck was
handed over to the custody of the officer to
try and find the house to which Donnelly
took him.

EYES Burned Out.


BouRB ~, ISD., September IA few days
ago Thomas Myers, a blacksmith of this
place, found some letters addressed to his
wife the contents of which were of such a
nature as to convince him Of her unfathful-
ness. Confronting her. she confessed that
the letters were written by Dr. T. T. Linn,
one of the most prominent physicians here,
enjoying large practice, claiming that he,
as h.r physician, had taken advantage of
her.
A s.heme most inhuman was concocted
by Myers and Mrs Myers brother, William
Jenkins. who readily secured the aid of the
flithiess wife. Myers left town yesterday,
and note was sent to the doctor by Mrs.
Myers requesting him to call last evening
about nine o'clock. He responded. While
entering the gate she threw a two ounce vial
of yitriol in his face. jenkins. who was in
hiding. jumped onto the doctor and gave
him an unmercifdl pounding. Inns con-
diiion i. very serious, and he will lose his
eyesight entirely. NJ arrests have, as yet,
been made.

Important to Liquor Dealers.

CHAMBEEsHUgG, September Judge Stew
ant rendered an important decision here to-
day In the matter of the motion of Cyrus
II. Gordon for reconsideration OF the ac-
ton of the court in refusing him whole
sale liquor license in January last. The APP
plication was based on recent decisions of
the Supreme Court in Philadelphia, in the
Pollard case and in the case Of the Prospect
Brewing Company. No remonstrance was
filed against Gordon nor was any objection
made by any one to the granting of the IL
cense, but the court refused the license be-
cause be did not think the place necessary
for public accommodation.
Judge Stewart holds that the recent decis-
ions did not decide that the lower court has
no discretion in the matter. He says that
the act of March q, 1857. places all licenses
on the same footing. and makes the public
accommodation necessary condition for a
license of any kind, except when there is
local legislation to the contrary, and that the
court has the right to exercise discretion in
the matter. The motion for a reconsidera-
ton was refused

No Extra Session.

WAsHIxGroN, September 7.-All Of the
Cabinet except Secretaries Blaine and Rusk
were at The White House TO day, and spent
three mortal heurs, from II to O'Clock, dis
eussing the question Of the extra session.
There seems to have been a change Of faith
in some Of the Cabinet officers, and the Pres
ident himself was found 10 be wavering,
though two weeks ago he was convinced OF
the wisdom of calling an extra session,
and began hard labor at his message The
publication of this fBct appears to have
brought forth expressions from Republicans
all over the country. the weight Of which
was inimical to the calling Of the extra sess-
ion, and when the ministers met this morn
ing they were found to be quite unanimous
in their doubt Of the necessity of a called
session. they. too, having been within few
days convinced that the majority OF leading
Congressman and other Republicans were
opposed TO such a movement.
Little was said Of the tenor Of the dis
cussion after the meeting cloosed, but il was
at once telegrsphed that il had been finally
decided that no session should be called.
This is not the strict fact At least, at the
conclusion of the conference the question
was left undecided, but principally on ac-
count Of the absence OF Blaine and Rusk.
The sentiment Of the Cabinet members
who were present will be communicated to
the absent members. aud upon the receipt Of
their replies the final word will be announc-
ed. 1t is quite certain, however, that the
long talked-ofextra session may be SET down
as abandoned.
