THIS LAM A HAN TKUL.
Opening for the Defense.
Rev. J. M. Boekley appeared for the defense. He
mid that the particular act charged in tbe letter of
the senior sgent to tbe Book committee li granted
by the defense at oice namely, tbe application of
' tbe assistant URcnt tor tbe writ of mandamus to
coir pel Dr. Carlttton to allow him access to tbe
book. AO act la justified only by the Janice of Hs
cause. The assistant agent will ao seek to justify
Ms acta In question. Ue has, therefore, with this
view, prepared hts answer, in It Dr. Lanahan
et forth In brier a review of the causes of his
action, denying the charge of disregard and Con
temn! nf th onthnrttv nf th Rnnk Com.
m It lee, and of tbe agent of the Concern. I
It also centalned an exhibit In
figures of the basinesa in cash which gave rise to
. bis difficulties, and showing wherein he considered
be had just cause for making the charges he is now
being tried for having preferred. In conclusion, ha
aajs:
"I have now stated my case as far as it Is proper
in this answer. For what am I arraigned this second
time before youT Have I failed in me faithful dis
charge of my duty? Hare I occupied the position
from which I am now suspended for my private ad
vantage and profit? Have I made unrighteous gains?
1 had thought that 1 was doing the Church a needed
, service In protecting the Integrity of its most im
portant charity ; that 1 waa Interposing In behalf of
worn-out preachers and their widows and orphans,
when I protested against waste and plunder. If
any fund of the Church should be sacredly guarded
i It Is that which is set apart for these beneficiaries.
I have tried to guard It, and for so doing I
stand here a presumptive criminal, with men
11 around we clamoring for my removal. I am
wearied in mind and wasted In body by this conflict;
till I maintain It, unequally It may be, in Arm
confidence that God will vindicate the truth, I am
said to be an enemy to the Book Concern. I have
loved It and labored for It, In all my ministry. I lovo
It too well to be willing to see Its substance wasted
by negligence and iraud. Men charge that I am
mad ; If so, then some of the wisest and best of tbe
mlulNtry and laity, all through the burch, are mad
with me. No, I am not mad, but speak the words of
truth and soberness. The facta which I have dis
covered cannot be set aside by resolutions, by my
suspension, or by deposition. They will still remain
to testify against wrong-doing and wrong-doers.
For trying to do my honest duty 1 have been set
, upon as though I were the greatest criminal la the
Methodist Church. Partisans have raged against
me, official papers have held me np to reproach,
my nave baa been cast oat as evil. Yet here I
stand, bearing my testimony against wrong. I may
be powerless at present against a cruel combina
tion ; but with faith In God, who Is a righteous God,
I appeal to Him. to the Ceurch, and to the Christian
world."
Besting here In his answer, counsel asked that the
defense be permitted to put in evidence certain por
tions of the stenographto journal record of the In
vestigating Committee's former proceedings, copies
of the Aavoeatt Journal, and other Methodist official
papers, to sustain and prove their answer.
General Kunyon, for the prosecution, moved to
overrule them on the ground of irrelevancy, and the
chairman excluded them from being introduced In a
wholesale manner.
Dr. Sllcer arose at this juncture and appealed
from tbe decision of tbe Chair, on tbe ground that
he waa opposed to trammelling the defendants
at all. '
Before any action was taken hereupon, Mr. Buck
ley said: Our case turns on the proof that Dr.
Lanahan culd not defend .himself or even protect
himself without appealing to the civil courts, and
we will sbow from these documents that the public,
the Church, and all else were so Influenced by
. things contained In the proposed evidence that he
could not get a just hearing anywhere else. i
After much further debate, the prosecntlon and
aeiense were permitted to act upon tne principle
that the admissibility of documentary evidence
brought forward on both sides should be decided
npon when It was produced, r i
Dr. John Lanahan was then called, and testified
as to the cause of his suspecting the existence of
tne alleged irauas. A. r. Express, yesteraay.
SAD CASE.
A Country Family Beaten by Confidence
Operators. I
The St Louis Demoerat of the 18th Inst, says:!
Mr. fceth P. Fargo, of Wliney, Jefferson county,
was made the victim of confidence operators last
night, just before reaching tho depot In this city.
Fargo, with his wife, daughter, and grandchild were
en routs for San Francisco, theace to Oregon, where
they design settling. Boon after leaving Rome last
night on the night express train, a gentlemanly
looking man began showing considerable attention
to the Infant, and thus worked his way Into the good
graces of the whole family. In addition to their
tickets, the party had about seven hundred
dollars In bills, which were In j the
custody of the daughter, - the mother of the
child. When Bearing tbe city the young man sud
denly remembered he bad a heavy freight bill to
ray, but had no available means save a cheek of
2600, and as the hour was late he was In a quan
dary what to do, as great loss to him would result
In having to wait till daylight. Had his new friends
any ready money that they could lend him till they
reached a point farther west, where he conld got
the check cashed? If so, he would drive them a fair
bonus for the use of the money and tbe chook for
security. Not having read the papers, tho request
was complied with, and the sharper was given
$704, the entire cash capital- of tho party,
and the chock with many thanks given them
as security nntll their friend could get it
cashed further West. As soon as Confidence had
secured tho greenbacks he had urgent business in
the next car, and decamped so suddenly that the
suspicions of the party were aroused, and a few
answers to their questions bvtbe conductor and
an exhibition of tbe check, soon made them realize
that they had been badly beaten. The conductor on
learning of the robbery Instituted a search for the
rascal, but the train bavlng slowed np considerably
It Is probable be bad jumped from the train east of
the tunnel. The destitute party left the train at the
depot In hopes of getting some track of the rascal.
Mr. Fargo maae known his loss at police head
quarters, but the police were nnable to aid hint in
recovering bis money. Several persons at the depot
on learning of the case gave small sums to the un
fortunate lamlly.
' CHINESE GOSSIP.
Fancy of at Fashionable Belle for a Ilea-
- then Chinee.
An unusual tlt-blt Is now going the rounds of
fashionable gossip, says the New York Star, relating

she graduated about a year ago. Since that time
she has been the sole mistress of her father's elegant
and aristocratic mansion near Murray Hill.
The young lady is motherless, aud an only child.
She has been indulged In every whim by her fond
father, who Is Immensely proud of his daughter's
beauty and accoiup.lsbinents. About six months
ago the father took Into tbe household as butler er
steward a remarkably clever and Intelligent China
man, "cat-iue, areamy-eveo, yeiiow, ana sum,"
tbe new butler performed his duties admirably. It
was not long, however, before the almond eyes of
the Asiatic aud tho sparkling orbs of his beautiful
mlBtreta Interchanged many glances of admiration
whenever tbe duties of the hinisehoid brought them
together in consultation.
Long and more frequent became their Interviews.
More and more Interested were they in the house

whlsoered among themselves about the strange latl.

Chinee, whose smile was so child-like and bland."
About two weeks ago tbe father came home onex-
Sectedly, and, entering the Horary suddenly, was
orror struck at tbe sight of his lovely daugbter In
the arms of the loving ''Celestial." the way that
be went for that "Heathen Chinee" would have glad,

witnessed the scene tnat ensuea.
In vain the daughter cried, and pleaded her love.

added fuel to tbe flame of wrath consuming her
father's heart. John was forcibly convinced of tho
necessity of an immediate departure not only from

the loss of ber Mongolian lover, and await with re

The Archbishop of York on the Paris
Aterolutlon.
The Archbishop of York, on May 80th. was present
at the laying of tbe foundation stone of some new
schools at (Sheffield. In the course of an address
which he delivered from tho stone, he referred to
the revolution la Paris, and said they might eepend
npon it that such great historical lessons were writ
ten for onr lnstruatlon. Without presuming to judge
France, or without saying that religion was extinct
there, they might depe id upon it thu the ruin, the
misery, and the desolation which existed In France
so great Indeed that history could not recall any
tlng like it within the ages of civilization they
might depend npon it that all this came from one
plain oaase. There was In modern mluds a great
aspiration after liberty, and he shared In it
as much as any man amongst them. Tho
aspiration after liberty had marked the history of
the English people more than that of any other
nation of modern times, so far as be knew; but be
cause people had been following out tbe promise of
liber1, created by their own foolish Ideas, they not
only failed to obtain liberty, but had brought upon
themselves ruin and desolation, and their liberty
bad ended In smoke and name. But what was It la
Its progress? It was terrorism, it was Injustice;
every man afraid of his neighbor, every man dis
posed to shut up his neighbor In prison, because he
was afraid of him. That was what they bad seen In
another conntry. What was liberty It began In a
man getting free from his own passions. The liberty
In which every man lets bis passions run as they
would, waa no liberty at all; it must have the same
kind of end as it had had in Franoe.
Tho Paris Butcheries.
Terii (May 81) Correspondence London Timet.
On Sunday an English gentleman who was In the
prison saw a heap of 800 dead bodies, aU the victims
or summary execution, ana ever since at intervals
batches of prisoners have been shot. The one
necessary evidence in the first instance was the red
mark on tte shoulder from the recoil of the 'ride,
and the fingers greasy from handling the cartridges.
The proofs of participation In active resistance were
enough to condemn a man daring the excitement of
the combat and Immediately after It. Now the
executions are only to be Initiated after a legal trial,
though we are Informed at the gate of Pero la Chaise,
which wo were forbidden to enter, that upwards
of 100 dead bodies were lying still nnburled of
wen who had been shot In tbe morning. A close,
sickening smell pervaded the atmosphere near
the prisons, carts were drawn np at tbe gates, which
we were told by groups gathered near them wero
loaded -with dead bodies by tbe prisoners prior to
their own execution. This, however, was on the
authority of the relatives and friends of tbe unhappy
victims, large numbers of whom, chiefly women,
were gathered In front of both prisons, receiving In
formation relative to the prisoners, of whom some
thousands wtre still inside, or claiming the corpses
of those who bad been executed. I was struck by
the fact that although I observed expressions of sor
row and anger cf every shade, and though their oc
cupation and the suspense It Involved wero calcu
lated to try tbe strongest nerve, not a single tearful
eye waa visible.
Troehu on the Defensive.
Vertadlet (May 81) Corrtepenienoe London Timet.
Yesterday's sitting of tbe Chamber waa very
lively, and at times even stormy. Its lutereat
began with the discussion of a motion originally
brought forward by Louis Blano and others, but by
them abandoned, and then adopted by other Depu.
ties, the subject of which was to require tbe mem
bers of the ex-Government of National Derense to
render an account of their stewardship in Paris dur.
ing the Beige. General Trochu ascended tbe tri
bune, and tbe Chamber and the galleries hushed
their conversations. Trochu said:
"We have too much pride to attribute our re
verses to any other cause than treason aud Incapa
city. We have not tbe dignity which leads van
quished nations to look at home for the cause of
their faults. We are a great nation which a syste
matically puerile education has convinced of its in
vincibility. It Is vanquisbed, ruined, and It asks the
reason why. I will give It the reason. I will not
Imitate tbe French revolutionary mode of proceed
ing, which consists In assailing Individuals, but I
will deal with Constitutions and Governments. I
will show the country that It has prepared Its own
ruin by abandoning tbe control of is own affairs;
by allowing tbe suif-sacrlilce and gratuitous devo.
tlon, so natural to the French army, to degenerate
Into personal speculation ; by permitting the intro
duction Into tbe habiu of the nation of that double
curse of which you know the double origin, English
luxury and Italian corruption."
The Oeneral attributed to these latter causes the
decrease of families In France tbe non-increase
of the population. Tbe periodical Increase in
Prussia, he said, was aix to two compared with
France. When the debate upon the motion before
the Assembly should come on, he proposed to sketch
an auOientle page or aillltary and contemporary
history. He would advance nothing that couia not
be irrefutably proved aud substantiated. He woulj
Bhow tbe causes of the decline of the French army,
of tbe disasters of tbe Army of tbe libone, ot the Re
volution ol tbe 4th of (September, causes which have
been systematically concealed from the country; he
would narrate the siege of Paris and tbe
campaign in the provinces. He would commence
with the siege of Par's, because the motion before
tbe Assembly especially related to It. "There will
be truths to be tolu, iutrlgues to expose, calumnies
to obliterate, and, above all. elements of luf or station,
for the reform of tbe French army." The General
left tbe tribune amid applause, which had also re
peatedly Interrupted htm In the course of his speech,
lie had spoken slowly, clearly, impressively, at
times with very happy choice of expressions, and his
promised exposition of facta will be awaited with
strong Intercut. He has plenty who envy and hate
him, and one bears not a few persons sy that hi
speech -would belter have beCUed a lawyer or a
man of letters than a soldier. ,

Clement I. Vallanfttgham.
Clement L. Vallandlgham, who acoldnntallf shot
himself last ntght at Lebanon, Ohio, while explain
ing how a criminal whom ho was defending had
used the weapon on bis victim, died at 9 o'clock this
morning. The full particulars of the fatal accident
are to be found on the third page of this issue.
Mr. Vallandlgham was descended from Hngnenot
ancestors, and was born In New Lisbon, Columbia
county, Ohio, In 1S22. lie received a good common
school education, and made rapid progress la all
studies. During his life as a student he spent one
year in Jefferson College in Ohio, and then became
a principal In the academy at Snow Hill, Maryland,
which postlon he held for two years. In the year
1H0 he gave np his connection with the aca
demy, and returned to his home In Ohio,
and directly commenced the study or law. This he
pursued with ardor nntll 1842, when he was admitted
to the bar. The position of a barrister was the step
ping stone to higher honors, and In the year
164o be was elected to the State Legislature or Ohio,
and re-elected In 1846. From tho ending of his last
term nntll 1849 he was Identified with the Dayton
Empire, becoming Its chief editor, and through this
sheet he greatly enhanced his Influence as a politi
cian. From the moment when his connection with
the Empire ceased he devoted bis time
almost wholly to politics and the practice of
the law, and held, until the year
1866, various subordinate political positions. In
that year be was a member of the Ohio Democratic
State Convention, which was held in Cincinnati, and
ran for the first time for Congress (the 8Mb), against
L D. Campbell, whose scat he successfully con
tested. Be was re-elected by his constituents In
1S69. At the commencement of the Second Session
of the Thirty-fifth Congress, and during tbe entire
Thirty-sixth, he was placed on the Committee
on Territories. He was re-elected to the
Thirty-seventh Congress, and continued to
represent bis district until 1863. While in Congress
he violently opposed the efforts of the Government
to suppress the Rebellion, and manifested his sym
pathy for tbe Rebels In the most violent language.
At the close of his Congressional term he returned
to Ohio, where had already been suggested as the
Democratic candidate for Governor, and he speedily
engaged In a popular canvass of the war and the
Federal administration in a spirit of sweeping hos
tility to both. .
On the 18th of April, 1868, General Burnslde issued
General Order No. 88, announcing that thereafter all
persons lound within the Union lines who committed
acts for the benefit of the enemy should be tried as
spies, and If convicted suffer death. All persons who
were In the habit of declaring sympathy for the enemy
were to be arrested, tried, and, If found guilty, sent
beyond tbe lines Into the lines of their friends.
Under this order Vallandlgham was arrested on Mar
4 for publicly expressing sympathy for those In
arms against the United States, and for
declaring disloyal sentiments and opinions,
with the object and purpose of weakening
the power of the Government in its efforts to sup
press an unlawful Rebellion. These specifications
alluded to a speech made by Mr, Vallandlgham at
Mount Vernon, Ohio, on May 1, 1868. On Hay 16,
after having been tried by court-martial, Brigadier
General R. B. Potter pres ding, he was found guilty
of the charge, and as to the specification, guilty as to
part and not guilty as to part. His sentence was
that he be placed In close confinement in
some fortress of the United states, to be de
signated by the commanding officer of the
department, there to- be kept during
the continuance of the war. General Burnslde de
signated Fort Warren, In Boston Harbor. The Pre
sident, however, commuted the sentence. He di
rected that Vallandlgham be taken under secure
guard to the headquarters of General Bosecrass, to
be put by him beyond tho Union lines, and In case
of his return to be arrested and put in dose custody
for the tt rm of his sentence, ,
This order was executed, but the offender soon
ran the blockade, and went to Canada, living at
"Windsor. On the Cth of May of the same year Val
landlgham applied through his counsel for a writ of
habeas corput to Judge Leavltt, of the United States
District Court at Cincinnati. This application
General Burnslde responded to. The case was
argued at length, and the Judge decided that
the legality of the arrest depended : npon
the extent of the necessity for making it, and that
was to be determined by the military commander ;
and so decidedly refused the application or the
writ. He also added that those who live under tho
protection of a Government should know teat they
cannot stab its vitals with impunity. If they have
tatred towards the powers of government they
should withdraw from its Jurisdiction.
The course of the Government In this case was
condemned by the Democrats of New York, at a
meeting held in Albany, May 16, and a copy of the
resolutions then passed was forwarded to Presi
dent Lincoln, signed by ' many names of prominent
men of the party.
President Lincoln took sufficient notice of this
document to forward In return a paper In which the
subject was argued at very great length. '
The Ohio Democrats, in a communication dated
June 86, followed the lead of their New York breth
ren, and also remonstrated with the President, i To
this a lengthy reply was also given, which, in turn,
brought another document from the committee of
the party. i
The Democratic convention which met la Ohio in
Jnne, ISSS, denounced the banishment of Vallandlg
ham as a violation of the Constitution, and nomi
nated him as the Democratic candidate for Governor
or the State. He was, however, defeated In the en
suing October election, bis opponent, Mr. B rough,
having received the unprecedented majerlty of
101,089 votes. i
The cue of Vsllandlgh&m had been taken to the
United States Supreme Ourt, and was decided
February 15, 1S64. A writ of certiorari had been asked
directing the Judge Advocate-General to revise the
sentence of the court-martial, as Illegal for a citi
zen. This writ was mused, the Court deciding
that the court-martial was legal, and that, even If
illegal, there was no authority of the Court to grant
relief, because there was no legs' method by which
an appeal, or proceedings In the nature of an
appeal, could be taken from a military commission
to the Supreme Court.
Vallandlgham wrote his celebra'ed letter on re
taliation March 7, 1864, from Windsor, Canada, In
which he advised all tbe citizens of Dayton, Ohio,
who had suffered In any way by reason of the Union
soldiers to retaliate in kind upon them. This he
considered the only metnod of punishment. ,
On June 16, 1864, Vallandlgham returned to Ohio,
though tbe term or his sentence bad not expired,
and in the race or the decrees of tbe several courts,
trusting to the public sentiment of tbe locality that
be would not be molested. The result proved that
he was not wrong in his conjecture. Be that day
addressed the Democratic Convention at Hamilton,
Ohio, snd In his speech strongly denounced tbe
Government and Its methods or proceeding la his
case.
On June 17 he again spoke In a similar strain in
Dayton in answer to a serenade. The policy of the
President towards the returned exile appeared to bo
not to take further trouble in the matter unless the
culprit formally made known to the Government by
further very offensive acta that he had returned to
the country in defiance of his sentence. As he did
nothing very public nntll the close of tbe war,
which was close at hand, bis presence was not offi
cially noticed by tho Government. .
After tbe conclusion of the war Mr. Vallandlgham
did not appear prominently before the subllo until
the Presidential campaign of 1S68, when he ardently
advocated tho extreme views he had always pro
fessed. The defeatjof the Bern ocratlo caneldates sent
him into retirement again, aud It was only lately
OBITUARY.
that he agnin became prominent on account of
having abandoned his 'former position,1 and
liavlng advised a new departure for the
Democracy based upon an acquiescence
in the results of tbe war and In the reconstruction
legislation of Congress. This new policy found
favor with many of the Northern Democrats, who
f sgerly desired to obtain control of the Government,
but It failed to receive the approval Of the unre
pentent Rebels of the South ; and np to the present
time Its only apparent effect has been to create a
division In the Democratlo ranksj Mr. Vallandlg
ham enjoyed an excellent reputation as a lawyer,
and .he was undoubtedly a man of fine abilities.
Be was a combination of a fanatlo and a politi
cian, and Borne of hts freaks can only bo
accounted for on the supposition that
Ms fanaticism got the better of bis judgment. His
conduct In 1863, so far from aiding his mends In tbe
South of strengthening the Democracy in the
North, only served to consolidate the Unionists;
and his banishment, even which, dispassionately
considered at this day, cannot but be considered as
a mistake on tbe part or the Government failed to
uake sufficient of a martyr or him to Increase his
influence as a political leader. He was toe hot
headed and too free with his tongue to be an ef
fective leader of men; and although bis undoubted
abilities qualified him to exercise much influence, It
cannot be doubted that during the past ten
years he did the Democratic party more injury by his
method of championing its principles than many of
Its opponents have done by their attacks npon it. If
Mr. Vallandigbam had been a cool-headed and cal
culating man, he might have inflicted a disastrous
blow upon the Government by playing the part of a
martyr when he waa sent over to the Rebels, but
so far from having any tragic element about It, this
episode in his career had a somewhat comical cast,
wblch prevented the victim from appearing la as
favorable a light before his fellow-countrymen as
be would have liked. Mr. Vallandlgham's
"new departure, " which recently threw a firebrand
Into the ranks of the Democracy, was rather an evi
dence of his proclivities as a political trader than of
hts abilities as a statesman. Like many other North
ern Democrats, he signed ror an opportunity to have
a hand in the management of public affairs and In
the distribution of patronage; and he waa ready to
accept all the so-called unconstitutional Acts of Con
gress, if he could only place himself in a position of
power by doing so. ' ,i ri u t j (
A RELIGIOUS SClNOiL. -
A Baptist Minister Under ar Very Black
Cloud A D niel Come to Judgment, r
From the Springfield Republican. "'.
One of the subjects quietly talked 'over by the
clergymen who met at the Sunday-school Conven
slon in Cbloopee was the case of Hev.-E. D. Daniels,
of Palmer, who, U half that is reported be true, Is a
black Bbeep in the flock, and whose doings have
greatly exercised tbe denomination at Palmer and
the vicinity for some time past. . Mr. Daniels came
to Palmer In May, 1870, under au engagement to
serve as pastor of the Baptist church, there for one
year. -, i r . , t
In October began a revival Into which he entered
with much fervor, securing aid from clergymen and
laymen from this city and from adjoining towns.
One of the first fruits of this awakening was Miss
Ella Graves, a pretty girl or twenty-two a blonde,
lively, engaging, fond of the company of the oppo
site sex, pretty well educated, and, as It seems, fas
cinating. A few observant members-of the congre
gation thought at that time that' Kev. Mr. Daniels
showed a more tender solicitude for her spiritual
welfare than was exactly becoming ror a pastor and
a married man, but the matter' excited no special
comment. .
in the winter She began the study or Latin, select
ing him as ker private tutor, and, as usual, the first
word conjagated was evmo. It won Id appear that
the lesson was learned very thoroughly in the first
person plural. - 1 v.
On a Friday in February he went to a Baptist
clereyman In an adjoining town, .much exercised in
spirit, and Bald that be had ceased to have any affec
tion for Mrs. Daniels, his wife, and passionately
loved another woman, and he asted the prayers of
bis brother In tbe ministry. The brother, astonished
beyond measure, told him that If he had ooma to
that be was past praying for. -, I r
The next day Mr. Daniels returned to Palmer to
find bis wife a corpse, or just becoming one.- Mrs.
Daniels, a qniet, diffident, and moBt estimable wo
man, who loved ber husband with all the devotion
of ber true womanly nature, could not be lusensibl e
to what was passing before her eyes. Preparing
herself with scrupulous care, she took in her hand
tbe picture of ber husband, and, having told her
attendant not to wake her under any circumstances,
swallowed a dose of chloral hydrate sufficient to kill
a dozen persons, and slept the sleep of death. -
Nothing more pathetlo can be found in the range
of romance than tbe death of this sorrowing, heart
broken woman. It was stated at tbe time that she
died of an overdose of chloral taken as a medicine,
but there can be no doubt that the overdose was
taken purposely. Mr. Daniels soon after determined,
apparently, to defy public opinion, and appeared
often in public with the girl, riding out with her and
making himself especially conspicuous in her com
pany at a lecture. This , so aroused indignation
against him that tar and feathers were even lalted
of, and since that time he has remained a boarder at
the Graves', living in seclusion, and rarely or never
coming to tbe depot village, except under cover of
night. Miss Graves' friends report that she is mar
ried to Mr. Daniels; others say that she Is not now,
but Is soon to be. 1
Mr. Daniels is a nervous, impulsive, and head
strong man, about twenty-four years of age. As a
preacher he Is fluent and earnest, sometimes rash
and Impolitic He has long had the reputation of a
tyrant in bis fatally, and the citizens of the town
even accuse him or brutally beating his little boy of
three years. A native of South Bralntree, Daniels
was ordained to tbe ministry at Coleratne, and aftcr--ward
preached at North Leverett, which place, he
left under a clcud. He there became enamored of
the nurse hired to attend his wife; and, under pre
tense of concern for her spiritual welfare, had long
Interviews with ber, which so depressed his wire
tbatsbe attempted suicide with belladonna. This
unfortunate occurrence places the recent one la the
light of a seeond grave offense, and strengthens the
opinion that Mr. Daniels' great zeal In tbe late revi
val was hypocrisy, it Is, or course, unnecessary to
add that his usefulness at Palmer has ended.
WESTOS TRIUMPH-NT. ! '
He Walks 400 Miles In Less than Five
Days. j
At 11-47 last evening Weston completed the last
round ol his lour hundredth mile, and was enthu
siastically cheered by tbe great concourse of people
that bad assembled to witness the completion of
tbls extraordinary exhibition or human endurance.
Weston-started on his fifth day's walk at 4-43 A. M..
having slept a Utile more than four bonrs. He had
then just eighty miles to walk, twenty or which be
finished at 10 05 A. M., when be stopped ror break
fast, and also took a short rest, In all occupying
twenty minutes. '
At 10-8S A. M. bo started again, and did not make
another rest until he bad completed fifty nillue,
wblch he made In ten hours and tirty-three minutes,
this was at 9-17 P. M. He then took a hearty supper
and exchanged the velvet suit In which be bad so
long walked for silk tights, with ornamented tunic.
During tbe last five miles both Weston and the au
dience were aroused to an Intense state of excite
ment, tbe latter cheering almost continually, and
the former winning applause by walking backwards,
running, Jumping, and performing many pla?ful
tricks In order to demonstrate tbe large amount of
physical force he yet held In reserve.' . i
at the conclusion of the last round he had 18
minutes to spare ; and as be turned to the assembly,
bis face glowing with success, he was seized by two
men, who, placing him on tbeir shoulders, ran with
him round tbe space over wblch be bad walked Ssoo
times. N ben brought bark to bis dre8ing-room tbe
crowd gathered rcuud him, and Prof. Doreinus, who
bad acted as his medical adviser, havlug
succeeded In quieting tbe uproar, said that
tbe feat which they had , seen thus
successfully completed was ot irameun e
Importance to the scientific world, and la the name
of science he thanked Mr. Weston for his practical
trial of endurance, more severe than auythlog that
bad happened from tbe time of Adam to tbe present
day. It was also a temperance sermon, preached In
an all powerful manner; for if what is ordinarily
known as stimulus had been used, the feat would
never have been accomplished, in response to loud
calls, Mr. Weston said that from the appearance of
bis person as his friends were carrying blm around,
tbey might think that be was tired, and not able to
make a speech ; but In that ther were mistaken. In
tbe fccooniplmbment of tbts ondertaklsg he felt that
the praise was (foe to America for lis Inspiration,
more thtn to bfmaolf ; at.d to God more than all, who
had given htm strength.
lie should not walk again unless soass foreigner
beat his time, before he became thirv-nve years
old, in which esse he should try to "warm" him ;
but In future he should turn bis attention to his pro
fession of Journalism. y. Y. Tribune, to-day.

The local money market appears to be under
ping, some change of condition. Hitherto the
bulk, of the demand for money has been of a
speculative character, and the brokers have had
control of the market during an unusually pro
tracted season ot activity and Inflation. During;
the past week there has been a slight reaction la
some departments ot trade, whilst tho transac
tions In stocks have fallen off materially, giving
a new character to some extent to the loan
market. The rates are very easy, but much
firmer than usual, and some lenders Insist on an
advance. We quote at 45 per cent, on call,
and at 56 per cent on time, as a rule.
Gold is quiet and firm, with Bales ranging;
from 112)112;, closing; at 112,
