THE MATTHEWS TRIM "A special from
Ia Plata, Nd, yesterday says after dag %,
absorbing interest the evidence in the trial OF
George Matthews for the murder of James J..
Irwin on August 2 last, WAS concluded and
to. day arguments were begun. There wefo
three distinct features in yesterdays session
Of the court. One was tho placing OF Mat
thews on the stand in his own behalf: the
second was the reading of the letters that
passed between the prisoner and Mrs Irwin
wife of the murdered man, and the third was
the exhibition to the jury of States Attorney
Posey's sklful work IN placing together the
pieces of newspaper found in Matthew
shanty and in TWINS brain so that there was
no break in the printed lines when the frag.
ments Of the paper were placed beside one
another.
In answer to a question Matthews said he
had borrowed gun TO make people let his
things alone They took things around there
aud used them just IS they pleased, and he
made up his mind to stop them
lie said he had populist paper in his
SHAFT called the Ner Charter Tut did not
know whether he loaded the gun with wad :.
ding from that paper or not, and ne did not
know anything about the paper in Twins
brain. The prisoner admitted Illicit relations
with Mrs. Irwin on the Friday before the
murder, when he met her by appointment on
the road, in company with her sister. He
said he had told different sorry at the in.
quest thereby periuring himself in order to
protect the woman.

yIRG1NIA's cANVAssIGG BOARD

! VIRGINIA'S CANVASSING BOARD
The State board of election canvass
ers met again yesterday and made 6
recount, which will give to Charles NJ
Wallace, jr., democrat, the certificate
of elector for the Third district, finding
| that he had 247 votes more than the
highest Mckinley elector. The count
on Tuesday, it was thought, would ex
clude Mr.. Wallace and give Mckinley
| one elector. The board then adjourn
ed over until Friday.
Hon. H. u. Flood, democrat, has de-
| clined the certificate Of election to Con.
gress from the Tenth district, which
was awarded to him on account of cler.
ical irregularities in certifying the vote
of Buckingham county. The certificate
will be awarded to Jacob Nost, repub-
lican, who carried the district by l47
votes.
Mr.. Yost, through counsel, filed his
amended petition before the Court of
Appeals yesterday.
Mr.. Flood has written the following
open letter to the board:
gentlemen | have been informed
of your decision in reference to the
counting of the vote of Buckingham
county for Jacob Yost, instead of j.
Yost, and that az result you have de-
cided to award me the certificate of
election to the Fifty-ffth Congress from
Che Tenth district. fully concur with
you in your Interpretation OF tine au-
thorities and recognize that you could
not have reached different condition
without violating the law by which
you are governed; yet cannot accept
certificate of election, issued under the
circumstances that compelled you TO
Issue this one. While l believe l re-
ceived a majority of the legal votes
cast in the Tenth district on Novem-
Der third, still, upon the face of the
returns, Mr.. Yost, under his various
designations has majority of LAT and
| cannot accept an advantage from the
reversal of this majority, not on the
ground of the frauds which believe
were committed against me and upon
purely technical question. Many Of
my friends have urged me to accept
the certificate and expose in the con-
test which will be inaugurated by my op-
ponent, the colonization of voters in
Tlloghany county and other corrupt
methods resoTted to to compass my de.
feat. This contest, they and believe,
would result in my retention of the
seat, but | am impelled, as much as l
dislike to do 80, to disregard the ad
vice of tlese friends. If 1 decide to
challenge these methods will do so as
contestant. If the law permitted l
would be glad to see you award the
certificate of election to the Hon. ].

tons which he had shown to Mrs.

lowed Mr.. Blauvelt to put his arms
around her while she was driving. She

held her hand one dark evening after
euchre party. She testified that not
until the full knowledge of the acts Of

welt had advised her to get divorce.

AZ Save only and except for the vote
of the ex-slaves and their children the
republicans would have been unable to
gain their late victory, ordinary graft
tude should induce the latter to grant
the formers petition for pensions, and
as the republicans freed the slaves and
thereby relieved their masters of the
expense of providing for them in their
old age, it would be nothing more than
just for them to take that responsibility
upon themselves. OF course, the poor
and tax ridden South would have to
pay her full share of the expense, but
as the greater part ofthe money would
come back to her, she could well afford
to stand it, and few Of her people would
object to the imposition Of the extra
burden.

THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. 26, 1896

CONGRESSMAN CATCRINGs, OF Mis-
sissiopi as stated in the GAzETTE's
Washington correspondence OF yester-
davis date, like many other democrats,
thinks the democratic party, az an Ell
fectiye national organization, has been
DESTROYED. Yes, it is feared that Mr..
Cleveland, by his ambition to be third
term President, not as democrat, but
az q non partisan, or TO be the Erostra-
t,ls Of his country, has succeeded in the
latter, and has destroyed the grand old
democratic party, whose members, il
an evil hour, discovered him in Buffalo
and, against the urgent protests OF those
who knew him best, nominated him
three times for, and elected him twice
to. the Presidency. His followers, the
boilers, don't want TO come back to the
party, and the party doesn't want them
back, except upon probation. With the
republicans and plutocrats against it,
and with detection ia its own ranks,
the most aanguine Of its members have
lost hope. Yes, the prevalent belief
now ia that Senator Martin was right
when he called Mr.. Cleveland party
wrecker.n

YTpRBIDE, EXPELLED FROM 4
CLUB.

Judge Bradley's courtroom in Wash
ington yesterday was filled with we'll
known clubmen interested in scandal
that finally has becomes matter Of liti-
CATION after having excited Washington
society and clubdom for many months.
Last winter and spring people moving
in fashionable circles were much exer.
cised over the circulation of anonymous
letters rejecting on tho character OF
their intimates. An allegation was
made that the writer of the scandals
was the daughter OF a well-known
member OF the Metropolitan Club.
The lady was exonerated and the affair
took another turn by charges made tc
the board Of governors Of the Metropol-
itan Club, asserting that Prince Angus
tin de Yturbide, formerly of Mexico,
had made the scandalous charge
against the lady whose name was
brought in question, and to whom be
had been engaged at one time. The
governors summoned Ytur5ide before
them, and, after hearing, wrote him
that he was an undesirable member OF
the club, and then, on the hint not be-
ing taken, formally expelled him.
Yturbide filed petition for writ Of
mandamus to compel the Metropolitan
Club to reinstate him, alleging that he
had not been given fair trial and had
been expelled without due process Of
law. The club joined issue with him,
and yesterday the case came up for
trial. Most of the day was taken up
with testimony as to the proceedings
before the board of governors of the
club. Admiral Walker, Judge John
Davis, of the Court of Claims; ]. Q
McCammon, E. Francis Riggs and Gen.
eral Ruggles, members of the board,
asserting that Yturbide had had fair
hearing, and had acknowledged max
ing the charges against the lady, while
Prince Yturbide himself testified that
he had not been given an opportunity
to make defense, and that he had not
made such admissions 10 the board
as alleged. The case went over until
Friday.

The NEW YoRK Poet, whose editor is
a foreigner and the population of whose
city is more than half OF foreign birth,
says no more Northern capital will
come to the South, now that the people
thereof have voted for the ticket nomi-
mated by the national convention OF the
democratic party. AS no Northern
capital has ever come South without a
full equivalent, it isn't likely that any
would have come hereafter, except under
similar conditions, no matter who
might have been elected President; but
a great change has certainly taken
place in the character OF Northern cap
italists, if they will refuse to invest
their money, even in hotter place than
the South, provided it will bring them
good rate Of interest.

the certificate to seat in Congress
from the Tenth district, though the
board of canvassers, under the law, was
compelled to give it to him; but as it is

allow him the illegal majority of 147,
and contest the election before the
elections committee of Congress, the
members of which, if they be as fair
