intelligent gentleman. Was clad in
fine garments, with face newly shaved
and hair. just turning white. daintily
brushed. Would be a fine looking
man were it not that portion of his
face is diseolored by eczema or erysipe-
las. While in court he sat smoking a
good cigar with an imperturbable
air. Ii he suffered pangs of remorse
or from fear, his iron nerves COM
pletely covered it, for his face and
eye were perfectly placid and revealed
nothing. The state was not ready to
proceed with the hearing as it is nee
essary to procure witnesses, so the
court fixed Duncan's bail at five hun
dred dollars and set the hearing for
Monday, Nov. Is, at l o'clock in the
afternoon. Duncan was not able to
procure bonds and is now in jail. He
stated to the court, by his attorney
Harry Brown, that if his bail was
fixed at one hundred dollars he could
probably get that amount by giving
his bondsman security on property
owned by him and his liberty would
enable him to find man who would
testify to his innocence. District
Attorney Lowry objected, saying that
if he wanted witnesses the sheriff
would subpoena them. Duncan said
he was peculiarly situated as he did
not know the name of the man he
wanted for witness and therefore
he would be forced to go and look
him up himself. The justice thought
one hundred dollars ridiculously low.
considering the crime, and refused to
drop below five hundred dollars.

HUNGARY,s ExPOSITION.
Francis Joseph to Don Relics Worm by
St Stephen.

Francis Joseph to Don Relics Worm by
St Stephen.
LONDON, ENG, June 5.-A dispatch
from BUDAPEST says: The grounds of the
Hungarian Millennial Exposition were to-
day thronged with visitors from all parts
of Austro- Hungary, and many from other
European countries and the United States,
attracted by the Inauguration of the cere-
monies in celebration OF the anniversary
of the coronation of King Francis Joseph.
The anniversary occurs on Monday next,
but the crown of ST. Stephen, the purple
mantle and the sword and scepter were
placed upon exhibition in the coronation
chapel this morning
These ancient relics were used upon the
occasion of the crowning of st. Stephen in
the year 1000. When King Francis Joseph
presides over the ceremonies on Monday
next he will wear the identical crown,
mantle and shoes in which the first King
was crowned.
Following the ceremonies the new Par
lament buildings will be opened in the
presence of both houses of the Hungarian
Legislature and Government and the
Austrian Legislature, which bodies have
been summoned to Buda- Pest for the occa-
sion. A feature of the celebration will be
a grand historic pageant, in which 25, 900
people will take part and which will por-
tray the life history of Hungary during
1000 years
The exposition will continue throughout
the summer, and its close in September
will be marked by the opening of the iron
gate Vaskapu by King Francis Joseph, on
which OCCASION Europe's royalty will be
present in force. The iron gate is of great
Importance to the world of commerce, as
by it's means the largest ships Will be
enabled to pass up the Danube. To the
American trade, particularly in cotton,
this is of great Importance, because ships
will thus be enabled to sail directly to
BUDAPEST and Vienna.
