When asked if she meant to make any
lmputation against ner husband or Rob-
erts, witness replied: YES" This an
swer was given with snap and vim
which created q sensation. Witness added
that she had never made direct charge
against either the Earl or Roberts, and
admitted that she had written letter to
Harry Marriellier. who was the best man
at her wedding, assuring him that she
brought no charge against Roberts, add
ing that she was in the hands of a clever
man, and would bring no charges against
the Earl unless fully able to prove them.
Witness admitted she had a former en-
gagement to marry before her betrothal to
Russell, and it was broken off owing to
the condition of her health.
Sir Charles asked witness whether she
was not attended by two doctors in 1858
for certain complaint. The Countess
replied that the doctors mentioned had
given her medicine from time to time.
Witness stated that the Earl had shown
her letter he had written his solicitor
about her extravaganza. She asked him
not to send the letter. The Earl forced
her to her knees on the floor and took the
letter from her. He used so much
strength that he forced the bangles on her
arms into The flesh until the blood flowed.
She showed her bleeding arms to her Sis
Ter.
When pressed to remember the circum-
stances of the first quarrel the Countess
burst into tears. 'I'm sorry Pm unable
to remember, but Pm not well, - she said.
In answer to questions regarding her
health prior to her marriage, witness
said it was always good, except that she
suffered from a specific female complaint,
which was given as the reason for break
ing the earlier engagement.
Witness declared that she had no re-
membrance Of her mother coming into
her room and imploring her to make
friends with her husband. She was not
hysterical on that occasion, nor after leav-
ing the room did she lose her self control
and begin to tear off her dress. She never
got in that state.
When Sir Charles began to probe into
the relations between the Earl and Rob
erts the interest became intense. Wit
ness, however, made replies in such low
tone that only those close to her could
catch them.
Court adjourned before the examina-
ton was finished.

CLAMoR FOR OFFICE.
The Struggle for the Speakership and
Other Places.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Speaker
ship contest is increasing in liveliness and
interest each day, and this morning there
was fair accession made to the list OF
members in town. All five candidates
have expressed themselves as hopeful.
and reported matters progressing salts
factorily from their point of view.
General Catchings of Mississippi, one
of Crisp's chief lieutenants, claims that
MS candidate has captured the entire
Democratic delegation from New JERSEY.
Crlsp's friends also said that they have
assurances of four votes from New Eng
land.
Mills is sanguine. His forces are work
ing favOrably to his interests and he ex-
pressed himself as entirely confident OF
the result. The Mills men are endeavor-
ing to make New England a unit. and
they say they expect all the votes from
that section except two. This claim, how
ever, is not conceded by the other candi-
dates. nor is Crisp's claim to New Jersey
conceded.
McMillen said to-day that he saw no
reason to change his opinion that the fight
would be long one, in which case his
strength would increase, and that he
felt matters were going along satisfac.
torily.
Springer is also in cheerful mood, and
he said he was more than holding his
own as respects FIRST choicen votes, and
to-day made material progress in pro-
viding for the event of break among
other candidates, great many Repre-
sentatives having given him assurances
that he would get their votes whenever
they changed.
The arrival of Judge Holman of Indi-
ana and the announcement of his position
on the Speakership matter are awaited
with some interest. The friends of Mills
express more confidence than those of
anyone else of securing his support.
At Hatch's headquarters it was said
things were quiet.''
Candidates for the minor Offices are be-
ginning an active campaign. Maish of
Pennsylvania has practically withdrawn
from the contest for Clerk of the House.
and Pennsylvania is advocating the
claims of Kerr, while Indiana is urging
Dalton's selection.
For Postmaster another ex-Congress-
man, McClammy of North Carolina, has
become candidate. James r. Fisher,
formerly Assistant Postmaster and Chair
man Of the Virginia Democratic State
Central Committee, is regarded with favor
by many members for this position.

San FRANCISCO, Dec 1.-The we'll
known and important case of McCroskey
VS.. Ladd ct al. was decided to-day by
the Supreme Court affirming the judg-
ment IN favor of the defendants.
The case has caused considerable ex-
citement, as it involved the genuineness
OF The title of largo tract Of valuable
land near Hollister, San Benito County.
The plaintiff sold the defendants certain
lots in the tract for $500, receiving a
promissory note for $3.50 as deposit
which was to be forfeited to him If tho
defendants did not complete the purchase
IN accordance with the terms of the con-
tract of sale, providing, of course, that
plaintiff could show good title to the
land.
Two attorneys pronounced the title
deficient after the plaintiff had furnished
two abstracts thereof, as one of the deeds
IN the chain of the title upon which the
plaintiff relied was grant from the San
Justo Homestead Association, a corpora
ton. 1t was executed by its President
and Secretary by virtue of special reso-
luton, but without affiXing the corporate
seal.
The defendants thereupon demanded
the return of the promissory note, but the
plaintiff sued upon it, and judgment
went against him in the lower court
The judgment was affirmed to-day by
the Supreme Court, which does not say
whether the plaintiffs title is good or
bad, but that the land must pe free from
litigation to be salable in accordance with
the open contract Of sale, when a court is
asked to enforce such contract. A man
may have title to land which he can
successfully protect by litigation, but
still not have a clear markets ble title.
The decision affects some millions of
dollars worth of land in and about Hol-
lister

ceive Some Returns.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Tribune saws
in regard to the failure of Field, Lindley,
Weichers IL Co. that it has been asserted
the firm had 100000 or more invested in
g project for the consolidation of all the
large sugar plantations in Cuba into one
corporation. This is private enterprise.
The sugar-planters are represented by
Senor j. Denier, who arrived in this city
since the failure of the firm. The project
was about ready for completion. Charles
w. Gould, assignee of the firm, admitted
the firms connection with the project.
but could not say what interest they had
in it.
1t was asserted, however. the project
will still be put into execution. If SO. it
is possible q large asset for the suspended
firm may exist there.
Assignee Gould this afternoon said: ''T
believe the only great sufferers are mem

he has been robbed. Edward NJ. Field is

on which he was committed to the
Vernon House at Mount Vernon as a
dangerous madman.

NEW YORK, Dec. DIR. Fuller said
this morning: "Cyrus W. Fields general

Morris K. Jessup, who has Just left the
Field residence, said: "Mr. Field is very

Collision in New York.

TARRYTowN On. W, Dec. 1.-At7 O'Clock
tonight the Chicago express, which
leaves New York at A. NJ, came along
at laundering speed and crashed into the
Croton local. standing on track in front
of the station at this place. The collision
was terrific, and those who witnessed the
accident expected to see scores of lifeless
people scattered about the track. For
tunately no one of the many passengers
were seriously hurt, although The cars of
the local train were telescoped and the
locomotives badly wrecked. It is said
the local was behind time, but the block
signal should have prevented the acci-
dent. 1t is question whether this signal
was set, for the prevailing opinion is that
it was not
