DIR. McDOW'S TRIAL.
The Accused Tells the Story of the KILL
ing of Capt. Dawson.

CHARLESTON, s. c., June 26-The only living
witness to the murder of F. w. Dawson told
the story of the tragedy on the witness stand
to-day. 1t was the murderer himself, 7. B.
Mellow. The courthouse was packed as
usual. The first witness was negro
driver named Harper who was in his
carriage-box near McDow's Office at
the time of the murder. He saw Dawson enter
the Office and after four or five minutes heard a
pistol shot, then two groans, quarreling voice,
gurgling voice, followed by an excited voice
saying: You said you would take my life, now
I've taken yours" Then the prisoner was put
on the witness stand by his counsel and told the
story of the tragedy.
THE PRISONERS STORY.
At first he evidenced disposition to 20 on in
his own excited way, but his lawyer checked
him and brought it out slowly with leading
questions. His story was that Dawson rang his
office bell about twenty minutes to o'clock.
Witness opened the door and invited him in.
Dawson said: 1--WE just been informed
of your ungentlemanly conduct to one
of my servants" Witness replied at is
untrue that L have been ungentlemanly to
one of your servants" felt indignant at his
stand that am responsible for that person,
(meaning the governess), and will hold YOU
personally responsible" Witness replied that
he would speak to her whenever he pleased.
II you do, replied Dawson, "Iu publish
your conduc. in the papers," ..And if you do,
you internal scoundrel," replied the wit
ness" I'll hold you personally responsible
Get out of my Office" Upon this witness
struck his hat off with his cane and slapped
him. knocking him across the lounge. then
Dawson slapped him again, and witness then
drew his pistol and shot him. Witness did not
see whether Dawson was confronting him or
not. he only knew that he was in front of him.
After being shot Dawson turned and said while
falling:
you've KILLED ME-
Witness replied. "You tried to take my life
and now I've taken yours" When Dawson fell
he went up to him, felt his pulse, and straight
ened his body out on the floor. He explained
his subsequent action of trying to dig grave
and bury the body by saying that the circum-
| stances were so appalling that he scarcely knew
/ what he was doing. He claimed that he fired
| the fatal shot in self-defense. Witness admit
ted that he had habitually carried pistol. The
| intrigue with the governess was not touched
| upon in the direct examination.

MIR. Harrison's Bail suficient.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Mr. Delaney Nicoll,
counsel for ]. Schuyler Crosby in his libel suit
for 600 damages against Russell Harrison,
left for Albany this morning. Before leaving.
however, he said he was surprised at the state
ment made in several morning papers to the
prevent Mr.. Harrison from sailing for Europe
to-day, as his bail was entirely satisfactory.
Mr.. Nicholl also said that the rumor that
Gov. Crosby would withdraw his suit was alb
surd, because he had received instructions
from his client to bring the case to trial as
soon as possible.

Willy RED CLOUD.
Trying to Make Terms for His Support
of the Bill.

PINE RIDGE Agency, OAK, June 26.-The I'M
friendly combination here remains intact. The
Indians are evidently awaiting instructions from
outside advisers, and as matters now stand it is
useless to spend more time here at present.
The commissioners will leave probably on
Thursday for Crow Creek agency. At Rosebud
many signatures will be received after the COM
missioners leave. Red Cloud had talk with
Major Warner yesterday afternoon. He made
no explanation of the reason which governs his
action or any statement of what he proposed
to do in the future. 1t is believed that he ex-
poets in some way to secure for himself the
distribution of money to be paid under the bill
for horses as the price for his support.

Cutting Mr.. Fitzgeraid's Grass.

MIR. Jos. Fitzgerald, who keeps saloon al
18th and streets, and one of his neighbors, do
not seem to agree very well. In the first place an
objection was made against Mr.. Fitzgerald's
liquor license. Then it was thought that he
should keep his grass cut 20 make the neigh
borhood look nice. Mr.. Fitzgerald was not
willing TO have his neighbors dictate TO him,
and let his grass grow. Complaint was made
to the health officer. and Mr.. Fitzgerald failing
to have his grass cut. Mr.. Joseph W. Lyons,
who lives in the house of Mr.. like. went out
and made it his business TO cut portion Of the
grass, whereupon Mr.. Fitzgerald swore out
warrant against Mr.. Lyons for trespass.
When the case was called in the Police Court
this morning the defendant admitted his guilt.
and added that the charge was frivolous and
malicious. Judge Miller heard the testimony
and told Mr.. Lyons that be could not cut other
peoples grass against their will His personal
bonds were taken

MAIL BAGS AND MAIL LOCKS.
New Quarters for the Repair Shop in this
City and New Feature Of the Work.

new feature will be introduced in the mail
bag repair shop located in this city. In addi-
ton to repairing the bags, machinery will be
purchased for the repair of mail-locks. As
stated in yesterdays STAR, Gen. Whitfield,
the second assistant postmaster-general,
has gone to some of the eastern
cities for the purpose of purchasing
the necessary machinery. It is expected that
July, when the large building ON G street,
between 419.and 9th streets, known as Young's
carriage repository, will be occupied. The
entire building will be used by the force of
men and women employed on this work. There
are about
MILLION MAIL-BAas REPAIRED
during the year at the shop here, which has
gradually been made the central depot. The
repair-shops located in many Of the principal
cities have been, with but few exceptions, closed
up. During the greater part Of last year there
were twenty-one people employed in repairing
leather bags, sixty-five in repairing jute bags
eleven saimakers and twenty-one laborers
Active operations will be resumed July l, when
some eighty employees will go to work.
Capt. Tyler, the chief of the mail-equipment
division in the Post-Ofice department., told q
STAR reporter to-day that year ago last March
there were only fifteen people employed in the
repalr-snop IN tnls city. owing to the fact that
| injured mail bags which were stored in at Diff
ferent places were ordered to be sent to this
city, and also on account of the consolidating
of the repair-shops. The work at this point
reached such proportions that the force of fif-
teen was increased to some 100. He said
that
SAVING had BEEN EFFECTED
in the amount expended for new mail-bags last
year of 100000. The appropriation for the
present year for the same reason is $4,000
less than last year. He said that Con-
gress finding that a large repair shop
in this city had resulted in saving money had
provided for the renting of suitable quarters
and on July 1, they would take possession of
the large building on O street owned by Mr.. J..
NJ. Young.
LOCKS FOR MAn-BoxEs.
Capt. Tyler was of the opinion that it would
be OF advantage to the government to make the
locks needed for mail-boxes, mail-bags, &C.,
instead Of contracting with outside parties for
their manufacture. He said that the work of
| repairing locks which was about to be inaug-
urated would result in saving to the govern
ment, as it would be possible to make use of q
large quantity Of locks which were now laid
| aside.
