The beard Axed Thursday, June 13, for t he final hearing in the cae. If the beard should dccline te interfere with the sentence nothing further can fee dene te s.iva Jacobs' life, and hiscxocutlen will fellow en such date as the get erner Axes.

Partrldge A Ce. lay en the deck, at the feet of Twenty-first street, for two nights last week, ana Italtertv watched it. On Satur day he called at Partridge's ofllee, nnd asked for fl for watching the lumber. Charles R. Partridge mid that he knew nothing about the matter, had never or dered any watchman employed and wouldn't 1 my for any watching. Foreman James Thompson, of the lumber yard, says that when Itatrerty went away he railed Mr. Partridge a ile name and said : " Yeu toil Partrldge if he don't pay me that dollar I'll kill him." On Tuesday evenlng Rafferty came te the lumber yard again. A quarrel onsued which ended in Itaflerty's being struck en the head near the base of the brain by a beard measure that Mr. Patrldge carried. Ilalferiy has net yet recovered te tell his side of tlie story. Mr. Partrldge says that ltallcrty assailed him with abusie lan guage and canto at him in n threatening manner, putting Ids hand behind him as if te draw a pistol.

The Uncr Sahara con sists of a rocky plateau rising at times Inte considerable peaks ; the low or,te w hieli It descends: by a steep slope, is "a Mist depression of clay and sand, ' but still for the most part standing high abe e sea level.

The two spots below sea leel consist of the beds of ancient lakes, new much shrunk by c aporatieu, ew ing te the present rain rain less condition of tlie country ;the soil around theso is deep in gypsum, and the water itself is considerably sailer than the sea.

The Washington ivuf, oemuientlng en the appointment of the Havtlau com mission, navst " Mr. Tucker says that he vv as offered the place by Secretary Blalne a w eck age and accepted It. He did net Care for the pints), and would net have agreed te go upon the request of any ether man than Mr. Blalne, who Is his friend, and thanked him for accepting the position. Mr. Tucker attri butes the withdrawal of the apelutmcnt te the Influence of Geueral Bey nteit with the president, and thinks General Boyu Beyu Boyu teil's desire te thwart Mr. Blalne has mere te de vv lib the affair than anything else. "Hew serious the chargs of conspiracy toassassinateMr. Lincoln was considered, although there Is no doubt that It vv as made, may be Inferred from the fact that General Wallace, who was In the court that con victed Mrs. Surnilt. Payne and their ac complices, when asked about the matter yesterday, had entirely forgotten that Mr. Tucker's nauie was ever connected With that plot. "Anether story which was afloat yester day was tc tlie effect that General Wallace objected se seriously te Mr. Tucker as a colleagiie en the. commission that the apiKiintmenta were withdrawn for that reason. Genera) Wallace speedily proved the falsity of that story j t-sterday by de claring his perfect satisfaction with Mr. Tucker as a colleague. "A reporter round General Beverly Tucker this morning at hrcakAist with hfs brother, Judgu Randelph Tucker, at Cham Itcrlaln's. "I have net seen Mr. Blaine," he said. "He wes down the river yesterday, you knew, and I have iielbcn te the t-t .t de partmemt te-day. se I knew nothing about the situation. 1 de net knew the reason for tlie withdrawal of the appointments of the commission nor what Is contemplated in the matter. It would be only surmising te attempt te discuss It and I cannot, orceurso, de that. " As te the sensational stories about my being associated with conspiracy and the like attacks upon me, the whole thing is without an Ieta of truth. All that was an swered In m v address te the people during Jehnsen's administration. 'Ine only posi tions 1 ever held under tlie Confederate government were a pcrfettly legitimate mission abroad te purchase quarter masters' stores, and a mission te Canada te exchange cotton for meat. I had nothing whatever te de with any of the military operations of the Confederacy, their guns or their soldiers or their iiiilltmy plans In any way, and I was In absolute Ignorance eftheui. I was In Canada te trade cotton for meat, isuind for Pound. President Lincoln and Secrclaiy Sew ard were awaie of my mission, knew its diameter and all about It." "Tlie ract apcars," bloke in Judge Ran Ran eolph Tucker, "that some of the enemies of Mr. Blabuiaie trvingte hit at him evnr my brelherTi shoulders. It is a focfelo at tempt te hurt .Mi. Illalne, I presume," The Washington cot respondent of the Philadelphia Inqtiner- says tlie friends of Mr. Blalne are beginning te get qulte worked up ever the Tucker incident as they leek into the intrigue which led te the summary withdrawal ofthe appointments of the Ilaytian special envois. As they see that it w as the w erk of his enemies they begln te brlstle w ith Indignation, mid there is very serious talk of Secretary Maine's icsignatlen, If the liaHty ait Is net to te I ulrcd. Geu. Wallace oxpressod Ids pleas pleas ure at having Mr. Tucker associated with him.

King's pheiienicn.il pliysiinl make-up was exhibited about seven o'clock in the olllceof a West Market slreet phj slclan. His ribs were first examined mid were found te be normal iu numbers, sle and osltleu. Then King went through a few studied contortions after w lib Ii a second examination was made. Te the surprise of all present a new set of ribs had apiHiared. The abdomen Instead of being lliibby as befere was haul and beneath thesklu could be felt a scries of genuine ribs beginning Immediately below the upper set and ex tending te tlie lower part of Iho iiIhIeiiicii. Having felt the latest arrival of ribs until all were satistled King threw himseir into sev end unnatural positions and, preste, the the entire let of Uju ci ribs haddisapjs-arcd.

With a stethoscope the jails itlens et the heart could be heard cmially distinct en the right and left sides el the body. Then of his own free will the colored junidex would drop either his right or left iie.ut, as he design ited them, from a heart's custom custem aiy elevation in the lssly te the lower part of the abdomen, w here the beatings could be easily felt while ail iu the stipjiescdly vacated spot abev it was silent.
