ting Ssminoie with tow of three barges
left yesterday for Aransas Pass. The
Seminole is fine steamer, recently pur-
chased 10 Mobile by Messrs. Charles Clark
81 Co.. of this city, who have a contract
for constructing arevetment at Arkansas
Pass under the plans and recommends
tions of the United States engineers de-
partment. Robert Clark, junior member
of the firm, accompanied the feet.
A preliminary examination of Police
man Giebel for homicide was postponed
to-day at tho request of the prisoner un-
til tomorrow morning at 8 O'Clock, to en-
able him to procure counsel if possible.
The feeling is more intense against the
prisoner than on the day of the killing,
and the mayor and chief of police are not
held blameless for appointing and keep
ing such man as Giebel on the police
force when they were cognizant of his
reckless incompetenoy.

WHAT FRErMAN's JouRNAn SAYS.

DUBLIN, December 2S.- Freeman's
journal, referring to the Parnen commits
sign inquiry, says: The Times prolonged
the amount of evidence regarding the ont
RACES in the hope of securing testimony to
justify the statements made by Attorney
general Webster in his opening address.
Feeling the ground slipping from under
its feet, 1t resolved upon a desperate
game to retrieve it's fortunes. With this
in view it dispatched an emissary to
America, who discovered Sheri-
dan at Pueblo, Col, and tried
to induce him to go to London
and testify before the commission, prom
isiug him that il his evidence proved sat
isfactory he would be paid $4,000 within
an hour after his examination was con-
cluded. Sheridan played possum with the
agent for time, and was. finally offered
$4,000 down if he would accompany the
agent to England. Sheridan then posi-
lively declined to appear before the COM
mission, and assured the agent that he
was in no wise desirous to share the fate
of james Carey.

a few OF tine more active shares, and the
general average of prices is about dol

dynamite cruise, Vesuvius, which left
Cramps ship y rd yesterday for Della
ware bay, there to have trial of her
speed, returned to the ship yard at
o'clSck this morning. The course in the
bay where the trial was made, was
resched last night before dark, and al
though the wind was blowing a gale and
the Vesuvius was under disadvantageous
conditions, the contractors concluded to
have trial before dark. The course of
o'miles was made in five minutes and
fifty-four seconds, faster than the time
fixed by the board as the requisite time of
twenty knots. Another run was
made in six minutes and twenty-one
seconds, which was twenty four
seconds over time The vessel anchored
off the light ship all night, and this
morning another Trial was made. During
ths run one of the air pump levers broke
and the last half knot was run with only
one engine. The time made was six min
utes and eighteen seconds and the trial
was then abandoned and the Vesuvius
returned . to the city. Heavier air pump
levers will be provided and,another trial
will be made as soon as they are fitted,
possibly on Thursday next. The horse
power developed at the time the sir
pump lever was broken, was 428.
