Nothing has been said as to the mater
fality of the evidence contained in the
books. Nor do they throw any light
upon the crime charged IN this indlct-

Prosecutor Stockton held that the books
of the Mullins firm and their contents
We're material to show the preparation
of the fraud. Counsel for the defence
held that it made no difference in this
case what the books showed. The only
material evidence was the bills presented
by Mullins & Co. to the State. The Court
decided that the mutilation of the books
was immaterial to the issue and that the
fact that the firms accounts with the
State were kept in a way. different from
other accounts was likewise immaterial.
Secondary evidence on these points was
consequently ruled out.
Eugene Murphy was recalled to the
witness stand and identified two bills of
Mullins & Co, against the State which
he had himself made out. On cross-ex-
animation he said he owned three race
horses, and a house. and several lots
in Jersey City. Details similar to these
adduced before the Senate Committee
were brought out including the attempt
of the witness to sell the story he had to
tell against Mullins to a New York news
paper. At this point a recess till 2 o'clock
was ordered.

THE SPEED OF THE BICYCLE.

Not walk as FAST
The great distance covered by wheel
men with ease shows conclusively that
the human walking apparatus is not to

purpose of getting over the ground. a
single observation of a wheelman gong

effort which in walking would result in
two steps of, say, two feet each, or a
total advance movement of our feet,
with the wheel the advance movement
would be two bicycle steps, or down

resulting in a forward movement of sew

TIT FOR TAT.

An amusing Incident was witnessed on
an Allegheny car at II AM. A gentle
man boarded the car and took his seat
beside a woman who had a pug dog on
her lap. In the gentleman's mouth was
a fresh unlighted cigar, and he was en-
joying a "dry smoke" when the woman
looked up, and seeing the cigar, called
to the conductor and aid Make that
man throw away that cigar"
The conductor looked, and, seeing the
cigar was not lighted, paid no attention
to the woman. She glared at him a
minute and then made a grab and Sc
cured the cigar, which she threw from
from the window.
The gentleman looked at her a moment
in silence, and disgust and then reached
from the car window. There was a
scream from the woman, a wild rush to
the platform, the car was stopped, and
the woman went back for her dog. Ths
car went on and the gentleman, with
mods and smiles of approval from the
other passengers, drew another cigar
dry smoke.

WASHINGTON.D C., Oct. II, 1S95.-The
Spanish Minister to the United States
entertains roseate views of the ~probabili-
ties of suppression of the Cuban revoiu-

situation on the island. The campaign
which has been thoroughly planned, will
be prosecuted vigorously in all the re-
VOTED districts. and he is confident that
the government will destroy the last
vestige of rebellion even in the least ac-
cessible ports of the island.
Senior Dupuy de LONE reiterates the
assertion which he thinks perhaps has
not been clearly understood that the
government has been compelled to wait
for the cessation of the rainy season and
to content itself with massing its troops
until it was possible to carry out mill
tary operations against the rebels, whose
~disorganized methods of fighting and
comparative seclusion in the mountain
Gus districts rendered futile all efforts
to dislodge and dispense hen at a time
when rivers rose as much as fifty feet

The young Czar seems, according to an

reign of Peter the Great. He walked

generally quite unattended, and, as he is
seldom recognized, he meets now and
then with little adventures which cause
him much amusement. During one of his
promenades he saw a youth selling for

him THAT he Immediately bought one and
