Abandoning the Case.

When the Parnell Commission resumed its
sitting on the morning after the above dis
closures, Attorney-General Webster an
ncunced that PiSott had written to Mr..
Shannon from Paris. The letter was read in
court. 1t contained the same confession that
Sir Charles Russell read the previous day.
Pigott acknowledged that he forged the
fac-simile printed by the Times and the other
letters. He admitted that he fabricated the
letters which he said he found in a bag, and
describes the process by which he did it. He
used genuine letters OF Parnells and Egan's,
copying closely several words of general
character, and tracing the actual writing by
holding the letters up against window and
following line for line The second batch of
Parnelrs letters he initiated from fac-simi e.
In conclusion, Pigott says that Mr.. La
boucheres account Of the interview between
Pigott and himself is mainly correct.
After Pigott's letter had been read Attor-
ney General Webster said:
'Nobody will attach any weight to Pig
otis evidence. 1t is now our duty TO ask
leave to withdraw from considering the gen.
uineness of the letters. The publishers of
the Times desire to express their regret for
the publication of them, and will a little later
give fuller manifestations OF regret over the
matter"
MIR. Parnell took the witness stand and de-
MED the genuneness of the letters alleged to
have been signed by himself and addressed to
Egan. He had dictated to Mr.. Campbell q
letter regarding his desire to have au inter
view with Pigott. This letter was evidently
the one from which limitations were made.

The Arrival in Washington.

Presidenteect Harrison arrived in Wash
ington in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and
disappointed large crowd assembled
way station to SEQ him by alighting
at Ninth street and Maryland avenue
This point is somo three blocks south of
city, SO that tho President elect and his
family were enabled, by taking carriages, to
go direct to the Arlington Hotel without
coming in contact with the multitude which
filed all of the most prominent thorough
fares.
At ESQ o'clock there were two or three
hundred people waiting in tho vicinity OF
the hotel in expectation of General Harrison's
arrived
At ESQ o'clock tho crowd cried: ''Here
they are" and there was movement to the
front, which the police promptly checked.
The first carriage stopped and the door was
instantly opened by an officer: Chairman
Britton emerged first followed BY Mrs. har,
rison. Mr.. Britton then handed out baby
Mckee, whose appearance caused another
murmur of greeting.
General Harrison next stepped out and for
moment the crowd hesitated; then cheer
went up. Tho debarkation of the remainder
Of the party was quickly accomplished and
the crowd soon dispersed.
The rest of the party arrived within a few
minutes, and were soon settled in tho fine
suite of rooms that have been set apart for
them. No pleasanter location for the Presi-
Dental quarters could have been chosen, as
tho family has all the privacy that they
could get in a house OF their own.
The suite consists of four rooms which
have been thoroughly renovated and re-
furnished for the General and Mrs. Harri-
son.
Quarters directly over those Of General
and Mrs. Harrison were reserved for tho rest
Of the Presidential party.
Mr.. Blaine called ON Mr.. Harrison during
the afternoon and had half-hour'e talk
Il note from President Cleveland was
brought over by Major Pruden about 4
o'clock. 1t was a tender Of courtesies from
the retiring to the incoming President.
General Harrison ordered dinner to be
served at o'clock, and then he settled down
to take possession of his apartments.

After tho conclusion OF his remarks three

forward to shake his hand. The train pulled
out immediately. General Harrison played
with the children nearly all the way between
Harrisburg and Baltimore. There were very
few incidents Of interest till the train reached
baltimore. whore the people all seemed to
have turned out to do honor to their coming
President
The station was one mass of people. The
tridges spanning the railroad track at
Charles, Calvert and st. Paul streets were
loaded down by an eager, restless throng Of
people, all waiting for a chance to greet the
new President
The crowd numbered almost 10 600 people,
AS the train burst suddenly out Of tho last
tunnel and came into the station the en-
tbusiasm OF the crowd found relief In one
mighty shout of welcome, which was repeated
again and again.
Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Mckee and the others
re-entered the car, but General Harrison re,
mained on the platform, bowling and smil-
ing to the shouting crowds until the train
was swallowed up in the tunnels. At Fui.
ton station on the outskirts Of the city and
at the Frederick road station there were
equally enthusiastic crowds. But the train
sped right along until Washington was
reached.

what He win Do with It.

1. V. Williams, of Philadelphia is
an old man and very rich one. He
has no wife, no children. He has
rightly decided to devote a consider
able portion of his great wealth to
public use, and he has wisely de-
cided to do it now, in his lifetime,
instead of putting it off until his
death. He has selected seven friends
of his, solid citizens like himself, as
the trustees of his bounty. He has
explained to them, according to the
newspaper report, that he wishes to
found and endow great school in
which boys may learn the useful
mechanical trades, free of cost; that
he has had the project in his mind
for thirty years past; that he is
ready to put five millions of dollars
into it's execution, and more if more
is needed. Here, indeed, is a noble
example for the other millionaires of
the country.

A Bad Runaway.

This morning about eleven o'clock,
those that were in the vicinity of
Ford's livery stable, witnessed quite
a lively runaway. The Dallas stage
had deposited the mail at the post
office and the driver, Alonzo Brown,
then started to drive to FOrd's Livery
stable, where he puts his team at
noon. AS he was nearing the stable,
the switch engine came along, and
frightened the team. They started
up Ferry street at lively rate, and
the bride bits broke, which made
the driver powerless to hold them in
check. They ran into the wood
yard back of the stable, throwing
Mr.. Brown out of the hack and
bruising him up considerably. He
received a very painful bruise on the
forehead the stage was badly de-
but the horses escaped
Mr.. Brown is very care

broken he would have stopped the

CLATSOP COUNTY'S QUOTA.
Five Prisoners Come to Serve Terms
in the Penitentiary.

The sheriff of Clatsop county ar
rived in the city this morning, bring
ing with him five prisoners who
had been found guilty and sentenced
to terms in the state institution.
They were as follows: Ned Her
win three years, convicted of rob
berry.
Charles Dahl, three years, for
robbery.
William Johnson, two years, for
larceny from a store.
J. Malin, three years for robbery.
N. T. Livingston, ten years, for
attempt to commit rape.
Livingstone is a professional
school teacher, but natural fiend,
as the crime was committed against
a Miss Cahill, little eight-yeaI old
girl under his care, and was per-
formed under circumstances of such
brutality as make one shudder at
the very possibility of the existence
of such monsters. The prisoner
was arrested last winter, Mr.. Cahill
having walked three days through
mud and rain to reach justice of
the peace before whom he might
swear complaint. The arrest of the
inhuman monster followed quickly,
and his trial resulted in the speedy
and a sentence for ten
years of penal servitude.
