bright with sunshine and merry with
music and vasi army OF miscellaneous

At noon the procession of Rex ap

result was gorgeous sight.
The first float bore the bmuf gras, &C

and the second vehicle bore fanciful
design illustrating the subject OF the
display. The other floats depicted the
king OF the carnival upon his throne,
and then came cloudland, gambols Of

the king, who was impersonsted by
Capt. John Polite vent. The queen OF
the carnival, Miss Ella Sinnott, and her
maids of honor viewed the parade from
the gallery Of the Pickwick Club. All
tho clubs were magnifcently decorated
and erected specia! stands from which
visitors from all sections OF the country

HUGH o'DoNNELL's TRIAL.
Important State Witnesses Badly Confused
on Cross Examination.

PrrTsRURe, Pa, Fob. l5.-The throng
that filled the criminal court this morn.
ing when tho trial Of Hugh ODonnell
on the charge of murder was resumed
was limited only by tho capacity of the
spacious chamber. Many persons wero
unable to get within tho doors
w. ii. Burke testified that no saw five
mon fall on the barges and several on
shore at the Homestead as the result of
the firing. O'Donnell, Hugh Ross and
others came down the river bank when
tho barges landed. O'Donnell cried out
to them, Don't you land. If you como
ashore every ono of you will be killed.
Saw him later in the morning and again
at the time of the surrender
On cross. cxa mination Burke became
very confused WHEN he discovered that
the testimony he had been giving diff
fered very much from that he had offered
during the Clifford trial.
James Malley, q Pinkerton, testified
to seeing O'Donnell on his shore when
the barges landed. O'Donnell cried
out: The first ono of you that comes
ashore will be killed." A man was
standing on the bank with q revolver in
his hand. O'Donnell ordered him away
and placed man there who had shot
gun.
oho Stooo-oAStuinatlo WlVUeSS
said he had not heard O'Donnell give
any orders but had seen him shifting
tho men around. The witness was
standing on tho bow OF the barges when
he saw all of this. The witness said he
had seen the bullets" as they were
hred from tho shore strike the barges.
He became very angry at counsel for
defense, who succeeded in getting him
very badly tangled in his statements.
Col. Joseph S. Grey, the sheriff's
chief deputy. said he gave the captains
of the Pinkertons orders not to fire;
that they had been fred upon.

BURIED TREASURE.
Roanoke Goods Secreted at
Waynesboro junction.

Sergeant Griffin, of the police force,
left the city yesterday afternoon on
peculiar mission. Yesterday morning
Chief of Police Terry received com.
munication from Maj. VIM. G. Moore,
chief of police of Washington, d. c..
stating that one of the safe blowers.
who had operated in Roanoke, and had
recently been sent to tho penitentiary
from Washington, confessed that he had
robbed priests house in Roanoke some
time ago and had buried tho goods at
WaynesbOro Junction.
Accompanying the letter was dia.
gram showing just where the treasure
was buried. Tho house referred to in
this communication is that of Father
Lynch's, which was burglarized several
years ago and some valuable plato and
other articles stolen. The matter was
kept quiet, although tho police were
ms ;ructed to look out for tho thief.
Nothing more was learned of the mat
ter until Chief Terry received the letter
yesterday.
Sergeant Griffin took the letter and
diagram with him and will make a
thorough search for the goods. Some
OF the articles stolen are priced yery
highly by Father Lynch, not for their
intrinsic value, but for their associa-
tions, and he is naturally anxious to re-
gain possession of them. The sergeant
will return this evening.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-News of n fill

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb. 15.-This
city is intensely excited tonight over q
fiendish assault committed here this
morning upon Mrs. M. A. Moore, re-
spected widow, by negro who found
her alone in the house. The victim is
II years old and the mother Of seven
grown children. A negro named ANDY
Blount was subsequently arrested on
suspicion, but Mrs. Moore was in doubt
whether he was the man. NeiRhbors,
however, believed him guilty. The ne
gro protested lis innocence, and an In
yestigation by number of leading citi-
zens indicates that he speaks the truth
AT 1880 O'Clock to night an Infatuated
mob battered down the outer door OF the
county jail and finally forced their way
into the cell where Blount was con-
fined. Despite tho protests OF the jail
officials and many leading citizens they
took tho negro down to tue bridge
which crosses the Tennessee river.
His lifeless corpse now bangles from
one OF the arches. Sentiment here is
almost evenly divided as to the mans
guilt.

LENT is HERE.
The Season of Fasting and Sac
rifice Began Yesterday.

The Lenten services commenced yes
terday and are being observed by large
part Of tho population of Christendom,
and will continue for forty days, ter
minating on Easter. The custom is
very ancient, if it BIO not of primitive
institution. The earliest illusions to it
speak OF it as on established usage
handed down from the fathers. The
forty days fasting period is observed as
commemorative Of the Lord 8 forty DAYS
fast, or OF the similar perfunctory fasts
OF Moses and Elias. This period begins
on Ash Wednesday, between which
time and Easter forty days intervene.
The rigor OF the ancient observance has
been greatly relaxed, but tho ancient
custom Of permitting but one meal each
day, with collation.. is still observed.
In the Creek church the ante-paschal
fast Is orty.eight days; but it Is only
one OF four similar periods observed. in
that church. In the Anglican church
Lent is retained as a church season Of
the calendar, with special services and
proper prayers, but the observance Of
the fast is left to the discretion of each
individual.
hoHI ueBlnS on ASH wednesday. The
services, therefore, began yesterday.
The services in Roanoke were in the
customary style and were observed by
the Episcopal, Lutheran and Catholic
Churches. In the former church Lent
will be season of prayer, of consecra-
ton and OF sacrifice. The great lesson
in this church which Lent teaches is
self-denial but is not supposed to con-
found any self inflicted ills and troubles
tending toward religious bigotry. The
forty days will be spent IN devoutness,
meditation and a constancy in searching
the holy Scriptures.
In the Lutheran church tho services
will probably DO on about the same
order. This denomination observes
with special devotion the last week Of
Lent in commemoration Of tho Saviors
last days on Garth. IL believes in spir.
itual experience and not outward show,
and to that end will Observe the season
in earnest and meditative preparation
for higher and hoiier life, making a
lesson each week of some imports n t
point in the forty days fast, the lesson
for next Sunday being 1.-The Battle of
che Wilderness" The Catholic church
will observe Lent in it's usual solemn
and impressive form.

CHARLESTON. S. c., Feb. 15.-The
United States court has for two DAYS
been engaged in hearing the now fam
GUS railroad tax cases. The argument
was finished to-day and the court took
the papers. The suit is brought to
punish for contempt of court the
sheriffs and treasurers of half dozen
counties who levied on the property of
railroads in the hands of receivers At
the close Of tho argument to day Mr..
Ira B. Jones, leading counsel for the
State, asked IL the defendants might
not be permitted to return to their
homes. Tho request was peremptorily
refused by Judge Golf, who, with Judge
Sim onton, presided at tho hearing. The
decision is awaited with consid era Bile
interest, as the questions involved are
serious to both the State and the rail.
roads.
Another case involving the levying on
railroad property in the hands of re-
ceiver came up before the United States
court to-day in the shape of a rule
against the sheriff of Fairfield county to
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt in levying upon the
property of tho Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company. The levy was made
on Judgment obtained by private par
ties, j. f. Suber and others, of Winnes-
boro. s. C., for damages on account OF
personal injury. The question involved
is whether the United States court can
