The lease was objected to on the gro'ind that the
road Is already earning more than trie Heading
Road proposes to give, an-1 the lucrease of thirly
Bve per cent. 1E l he stock Is no more thau an
t(uivilerit for the yearly surplus earnings of the

Ki.i toad got control of tne road no changes in
Indus would be mvdu to suit the convenience of the
travellers when they were wrntcd. It was sa il that
nothing was known ol the subject until last Friday,
nnd that the FtocMiolders ought to have due notice.

postponement, but they hope the time will be a short
one. lie said that though the company hail really
been earning seventeen per cent., yet seventeen per
tent, ou the present stock is not seventeen per cent
on the stock as It will be Increased. The Kenning
coir pnny will commence to take charge on the 1st
of December, If unreliable to t He stockholders. Mr.
Phillips then explained the terms of the lease iu
detail and explained the advant iges to both parties.
The motion to postpone was then put to a stock
vote, the subject to come up before a special meet
ing of the stockholders of tiio company to bo held oa
the if,th of November.
l (On the result of tho vote being declared It, was
found t hat f-43 had voted la favor of the postpone

The iTIobrmnn Ulurdrr t'rlnl of J John ITacIon.
Vuuft o Vjcr and Terminer Judges Ludiuui and
Yivc
The trial of John Hatiloti for the murder of Mary
Mohrman was resumed this morning, trie court-rooia
being crowded to its utmost capacity, about one half
tho audience consisting of females. The prisoner
had a care-worn appearauce, aud seemed more quiet
and moody then at any other stage of the trial.
There vas considerable delay this morning, tho
District Attcrneya being in long consultation with
the detectives.
The jurors handed the Judge a written nnery os
to the propriety of putting a particular question to
Dir. Try on.
Judge I.udlew, after having submitted the note to
the pi h;oner"s counsel, Eadi to the jurors than tho
witness would bo recalled, and then tuey could put
to him any legal (iiiestion.
Daniel Daragli, the carpenter who made the plans
used by the Commonwealth, was put upon the stand
again and questioned as to soino disputes concern
ing the distuuccs and size or buildings marked upou
their plans.
Detective E. K. Tryon recalled.
Question by a juror. Did you testiry tint at any
time you did or did not communicate to Michael
Dunn any of the facts of Maiy Mohrmau's cise? A.
1 answered that by saying no, and now auswer it by
saying no.
Question by Mr. Ilagert. When did you Crst learn
that a man had seen a man go bcliiud the old build
ing on the lot? A- Yesterday nfternooti a week ago
I learned it from Alderman Hems; I did not see the
witness William Quesier until I saw him hereon
the staud.
Q, Prior to the confession made by the p'lsonrdid
you ever hear thut a mau had seen a man go behind
the building on the lot nt isixth street and S isquo
lianria avenue? A. 1 did not; I had not beard of it
prior to December 27, ;!; 1 lirst learned last Sunday
a we-ii ago that John Giucrson had any kuowledge
of thU transaction.
Detecjves Taggart and Smith were recalled and
said that they Urst learned ou the afternoon of last
hominy vseek that on 1 ues-Uy morulug, September
6, lsiis, a fcifcu was seen going behind the old huaso
on the lot, and never heard anything of H prior to
the conlessions made by lluulon to Dunn; aud the
came with regard to John Giberson, of btth which
facts tuey were informed by Alderman Herns.
Alderman Fields recalled I have stated that I
was occasionally In the habit of go:ug to John ilaa
lou's to shave; 1 hee seen hmi there with boots
and shoes on, and cccaslouaily slippers.
'i he Common wealth then offered the plans and
the eb-tliing of the child in evidence. Mr. U.igeit
then Eald: "May H please your Honors, we have
now ottered all Hie evidence we have In the case,
with the exception of the witness of whom we have
only heard since the begiuuing of the trial, ana
cannot ten now soon ue cau be urouj-
in; and if we can reserve
right to examine him hereafter when
comes in, we are now prepared to close."
'bjectlons being made by the prisoner's couusel,
Judge Ludlow said: It is our usual practice to re
serve tho right to examine but one witness, giving
counsel for the prisoner time to answer that testi
mony. The J uige suggested that the District At
torney should now Btale the dillluulty in producing
this witness and the probability of his appearance.
Mr. Brewster also requested tint the point to
which he would be ollered should be stuted ; but Mr.
llagert, In order to avoid rtlilleudy now, closed with
out any reservation, saying that if he deemed it
advihable he could hereafter renew his oiler to exa
mine the witness.
The Defense.
P. V. Carroll, Esq., junior counsel for the pri
soner, arose aud opened the ca-ie for the defeuse.
He said the Commonwealth had exhausted a whole
week In presenting theirca.se; had presented a great
many isolated tacts, which, but tor the statenmut of
the in ruinous witness, Michael Dunn, would not
have thrown the slightest ray of light on the mat
ter. He would prove thai the prisoner
was not where he was said to have
been by the prosecution, and, in fact,
would establish a complete alibi aud vindicate tne
prisoner's innocence; he would prove that the wit
nesses examined in corroboration of Dunn's state
ment gave eu;irely diiieieut statements when tho
occurrence was fresh in their minds, aud thef were
examined before the Coroner; and they would pro
duce witnesses who testiiiej before tho Corouer and
were not examined here, to prove his i.iuocence; in
short he would prove tint at th5 time of this occur
rence llaulon was in bed aud remained there aU
night.

Washington, Nov. 7. A telecram from
Senator Kellogir, of Louisiana, just received,
pays the election there is proceeding quietly,
though apprehensions are felt of trouble in New
Orleans. Kellopru estimates that if the election
is not interfered with, and if a full rote is got
out, the Republicans will carry the SUta by
from eight to ten thousand, cleetmff all their
candidates for the Forty-f -econd Congress.
.In ii ie Unary,
of the Court of Claims, will retire this week
and roeuine the practice of law at his old home,
Harrl6burg. He will likely bo succeeded by
Senator Drake, of Mi-sourl, especially if the
Legitlaturc of that State, which is to be elected
to-morrow, is carried by the Schurz-Browu
faction.
The Unulluli itllonlon.
As regards the appointment of the Minister to
England, it may be stated that the rumor of the
place bcini; offered to Schenck is not confirmed
by inquiry in oflleial circles. Tiic President is
Mill in a ipiandary about it. but he will m ike n

ToiT.s, Nov. 7. A despatch fr-jm Vendomo
says the proposition for an armistice has been
unanimously refused by tho leaders of the Paris
Government. The reasou for this is found in
ihc refusal on the part of Prussia of a project
to revictual the city, and also because she ac
cepted with reserve the scheme for allowing
Alsace and Lorraine to vote for members of the
Constituent Assembly.

N. Y. MONEY MAUKKT ON HAT Fit DAY.
From the X.Y. Herald.
"The gold market was weak, and declined to 110
on Hie abstnee of tne speculative support, which
kept the premium from falling to in legitimate
level. At the sunie tlnin thi loan market iecauie
eatler, and the rates began to favor borrowers,
although the variation from 'Hat,' or no Interest be
tween holders and sellers, was of little moment.
"I he news received this evening from Kurope
aimounclig tho cessation of the armistice between
the Prussian and French armies at Fans, luvolves
important considerations in conucctiou with the
etlect upon the gold market, In the midst of the
War the motit' aud capit 1 of the coutiuent sought
refuge lu Londou, whence there was a huge diver
sion of it to this country. The piosneet of peace,
hie?ec nas ured the owners of this mouev, and
the Bank of England for the past two or 'three
weeks has bliown a ilccrcaie in bunion,
while with the armistice itself vast sums were ready
to go back to the contlmut. It will bo curious,
therefore, to watch the result of tho resumption of
hostilities. Will not the frightened financiers of the
Old World again look to London and New York as a
refuge for their gold ? And shall we uot ajralu hud
a fresh transfer of foreign capital to our shores,
such as was experienced mid-way or tho Franco
Prussian war?
