nied absolutely Ownbey's statements OF m
arrangement with the witness by which
Owabey was to receive share Of the pro-
hts IN silver speculation in consideration
OF the information 20 be furnished.
wASTiD HIM TO CARRY SILVER.
Ownbey had asked witness 20 carry s,l.
yer for him on a margin, and witness had
absolutely refused TO doso. He also denied
all the statements of Ownbey 10 the effect
that the witness had stated TO Ownbev
that congressman were interested in q sill
yer speculation, and he further declared
that he had never had O silver transaction
IN his lite. The witness had not the
slightest interest in the silver bill excent
as 10 5000. 900 in the national bank re-
demption clause aud the making of silver
certificates legal tender so that they
could form q part of the banks reserve.
Witness Donald testified that S250 of the
amount that the Hanover Bank through
witness had paid 0wnbey was for inforIna-
ton regarding the silver bill; $500 more
was by direction of North Carolina bank
correspondent, for whom Ownbey had
dOno some service and through whom wit
ness met Ownbey. and there were some
smaller amounts paid as loans and ex-
penses. The principal thing Ownbey sent
witness was a printed copy (not written
one) of the original SILVER bill. Ownbey
never claimed any share in any silver
profits from witness and there was no diff =
Guilty between them when they came to
settle up. His testimony was general
and specific denial of all the substantial
points of Ownbey's testimony.

THE ASSEMBLY BALL.

years.
The ball was under the management of
Messrs. c. II. Raymond and b. 4. Blenner;
Mrs. II. NJ. Shield and Mrs. W. +. Terrill
were the chaperons.
1t was 10 o'clock when the Theatre
orchestra struck up the grand march. BY
a little after midnight the first part of the
programme, containing twelve dances, had
been completed, and the young folks re-
paired to Murphy's, where a splendid sup
per was served.
This over the light fantastic was resumed
and held sway for a couple of hours more,
and when the gay crowd had finished the
ten remaining numbers and started home
wards the morning star was up and twork.
THE LADIES PRESENT.
Among the young ladies who took part
were:
Miss n. Saunders. old-rose China silk,
gauZe overdress.
Miss Snead, white China silk.
Miss Gillian, white faille, swansdown
