MPRESSIVE SCENE AT A WEDDING. Marshals of tlie Second Empire of Prance Around the Altar. POSSIBLE HANGING OP THE WEONGMAN The death of John Boyle O'Ecilly has been the occasion of a great deal of com ment in England and Ireland. It has been suggested that the body of the poet and patriot should be buried in the latter country. He was regarded as Parnell's ablest lieutenant in America. IBT DtTSLAT CABLE COirFAXT.J J Losdox, August 1C The death of John Boyle O'Eeilly has been a fruitful topic for the papers this week, and many ol them hare given more or less lengthy notices of his death. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "John Boyle O'Beilly was the hero of a checkered career and yet one that was filled with romance. He was the best known Irishman in America, and one of the most graceful and touching of the Columbian poets." The Gazette goes on to say that Michael Davitt, in speaking before the Parnell Com mission, described O'Beilly as the Irish American Admirable Crichton, as a gentle man of great literary ability, as a poet and an American citizen, with a pure, unsullied reputation and oner of whom Boston may well feel proud. NOT AX OFFICE SEEKER. Further than this, the Gazette adds that O'Beilly had been a Land Leaguer from the beginning, and yet had never filled an office in an organization created for the purpose of agitating the snbject and forcing it upon an unwilling country, but he did good, effec tive work for the principle in his paper, the Pilot. The Belfast Morning 2Teics says: "O'Beilly worked for the best interests of Ireland and the Irish people, and did it so in every possible way commensurate with his ripe talent and his refined instinct. He never advocated violence, but always urged those methods that are sanctioned by reason and sustained by the laws of justice and moral ity." Prof. Stuart, the new editor of the Even ing Star, and successor to Mr. T. P. O'Con nor in that position, was seen by a Dunlap reporter at his office in Stonecutter Lane. A FLOOD OF MEMOET. He spoke feelingly, and said: "When you name John Boyle O'Beilly, you awake in me a flood of memory that brinjrs to me the vision of my most pleasurable hours, those passed in the society and with the knowledge that I had the friendship of the dead poet. In him was embodied the best elements of a man, a patriot and an Irish man. His was a mind that arose above the petty affairs of controversy, and saw Jn the success or failure of the great scheme for Irish advancement only the good and benefit of our entire race. He had the perception of a prophet and the justice of a god. He looked forward to an era for Ire land that would bring its people peace and plenty without one sentiment of revenge or evil in the contemplation. He filled a great place in the Irish heart A WAESI EXPBESSION. Thomas P. O'Connor .expressed himself no Jess warmly when he was asked for an expression concerning O'Beilly. "Yon may safely say;" Mr. "O'Connor re plied, "that O'Beilly, in his quiet and un pretending and strictly intellectual way, bad earned for himself a position in the pantheon of Ireland. His was a labor that carried conviction, not crime, with it, and aimed at elevating rather than debasing the great people of which he was such a noble example. Perhaps he could .not have ful filled bis mission anywhere else as he did in America. There the freedom he so eloquently pleaded for was existing as he would have it exist everywhere, and it no donbt inspired him to many of those great thoughts that burned from his bnsy pen." CAUSE OF FKOFOTOJD SOEEOW. Michael Davitt, whose recent hurried trip to Ireland nas tilled mm anew with the tire of patriotism, said: "No name has come from America for years that has caused so much profound sorrow as that of John Boyle O'Beilly. His name is familiar in every home throughout this land as that of a man who has conferred honor upon his race. He bas been my most intimate friend since first I met him in Boston, during 1868. It was at a meeting where he presided and which I addressed in the fall of that year. It was at that meeting tke Land League movement was outlined. On the platform he was one of Mr. Parnell's most enthusiastic supporters. He was once a Fenian, and, like myself, made sad ac quaintance, with cunvict life thereby. Since the leadership of Parnell began, O'Beilly has been a pronounced CONSEBYATIVE NATIONALIST among the Irish-Americans. There has been no mission from Ireland to America since then, and no appeal made by Mr. Parnell that failed to find in O'Beilly a prompt and substantial support He was a better American lor having been one of the youngest and bravest of the Irishmen. I sincerely hope that land which gave him birth, and to whose sad fortunes he devoted his services and his uncommon genius will be allowed to givo him a final resting place. I believe O'Beilly's remains should come to Ireland for interment, and he would receive a national funeral eqnal to that given to our other heroes who have alreapy gone. His name will be revered by the Irish so long as we remember the part which our exiled kindred in America have played In helping to drive out landlordism. DENIES THE HJTEBViKW.

The little "Chip elle de la Vierge," in the Bue Arceau, in Paris, furnished on Tuesday, the setting for a picture such as has not been witnessed for many a long day in Prance, for here were gathered all that are left of the most notable of the great people of the.seeond Empire. The occasion was the wedding of the dauchter of Marshal Canrobert, Commander in Chief of the Armies of Prance in the Crimea, and a hero of the campaigns in Italvand Eevpt. to a young lieutenant of the French navy, Paul Fabre De Nbvacelle. Marshal McMahon, ex-President of the Bepnblic, stood up with the bride and gath ered about the last two marshals of France, each of whom wore the tri-colored sash and the decorations of more than one court, were a score of their bid comrades in arms, all in the uniform of the Empire with the riband of the Legion of Honor in their coats. The heads of all, as were th se of the two mar shals, were silvered by ime, while many a hero's frame was bent and feeble with years. A DISTINGUISHED COMPANY. As the bride was in mourning for her mother who died a few months ago, the the guests were few, but these inclnded Generals Gervais, Hartung, Chasseron. Dcberckheim, Aspivent and Manabrea, all names that will live in the history of France, Baron Haussman, Comte and Comtesse Fertoul, Mrs. MacDonald, the English grandmother of the bride, Mrs. Charles B. Thursby, an American girl who was for years a close lnend of the bride, Mr. Thomas S. Moore and Miss Moore of Brooklyn, Princess Mathilde, Prince Louis Napoleon and a number of English people who have known the bride's mother when she was Clara MacDonald the celebrated English beanty at the court of Napoleon the Third. "Weeping silently in a corner of the chapel behind her heavy crepe veil, was also Mme. Bashkirtseff, mother of Marie, who wrote the famous journal and died at 2i. Mrs. Thursby and the ,bride, who figures in Marie's journal respectively as the Alice and the Claire of that, work, were he two most intimate friends of the dead girl, and it was tne sight of these two that evoked the bereaved mother's tears. The Empress Eugenie, who has not at tended a wedding since the death of the Prince Imperial, was not present at the Canrobert-De Mervocella nuptiais, but with the jewels that were lier wedding present to the bride, she sent a letter ex pressing her warmest congratulations and best wishes. Telegrams of congratulation were also received irom thePrince of "Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Kings of the Belgians and Italy and other distinguished people. MABIE'S FAMOUS STUDIO. Your correspondent visited Mme. Bash kirtseff at Marie's studio, in the Bue Pror ny. Here, in a room about 20x30 ieet, are paintings of the dead girl, exactly as she left them before she took to the bed from which she never rose again. The most of the time during theyears since Marie's death her mother has spent in monrning alone among the pictures and statuary, and noth ing more pathetic can be imagined than the black-draped figure of the old lady roving sadly about the room she holds sacred to the memory of a daughter whom she loved. The four walls of this apartment are covered with Marie Bashkirtseffs work in all stages of completion, everything indicating the highest talent, if not absolute genius, on the part of the girl who died so young. The portraits of Marie that she had painted were draped in white crepe, as were the numerous photos in an inner room, and on a reading table was a copy of Aristotle open at the page whercshe iad last read the book before her death, and here is a chance for some benevolent and wealthy American to make a worthy contribntion to art. Mme. Bashkirtseff, who has steadily refused to part with the least of her daughter's works.sis anxious that the collection should always be kept together. She feels that her own days are numbered, and her son, Marie's brother, who still lives in Bussia, feels little interest in his sister's work, so that Mme. Bashkirtseff fears that after her death the collection may be scattered. On that account she is anxious to dispose of the gallery to someone who will promise to keep it intact before it passes out of her control. ' BTJDE 10 THE EMPRESS. A German Doctor Obliged to Take u.

Two Gentlemen Who Find Mnch Danger is the Present Methods. The cause of the ballot reformers was ably presented at Chautauqua yesterday, by State Senator Saxton, of New York. He believes the public is asleep on the question. Two other speakers were greatly troubled about the public schools and pointed out the evils they see. rSPECIALTSLEOBAU TO THE DISPATCH.' Lake Chautauqua1, N. Y., August 16. A brilliant Saturday programme of poli tics, mirth and music was enjoyed to-day by Chautauquans. This morning New York State Senator Charles T. Saxton made a ringing speech in favor of "ballot reform," and Dr. Byron King, in- discoursing on the perpetnation of American institutions, said that the attempt of certain ecclesiastical or ganisations to unite church and State was one of the most formidable menaces of our national future. For three years Mr. Saxton has been push ing his "ballot reform" bill modeled after the Australian idea in the New York State Legislature. Bach time it received the veto of Governor David B. Hill, but this year the pressure was so great that after many concessions the measure received his sanc tion. Unlike so many speakers of a partisan nature, who came here. Senator Saxton was remarkably fair and from his speech you could not have divined bis party affiliations. PKOOEESS IN THBEE TEAKS. "In the last two or three years," he said, "we have heard a great deal about ballot reform. Three years ago little was known concerning the Australian system, but since then its progress nas been remarkably rapid. The farming and laboring classes became greatly interested, petitions were sent in to the legislatures, and the demand for a law could not be resisted. "Upon the ballot depends the whole struc ture of our institutions. It is the badge of liberty and the guarantee of our sover eignty. Power is not necessarily evil of lt sellj.a despot may act with wisdom. The republic is the best government only whenj it is made up of the best people. When the ignorant voter prevails, the name of free institutions is only a shell the substance is gone. Political power is often given those who can best control the ignor ant or possess the wealth to hold votes at their command. Then duty and honor falls to dull ears. The political boss becomes dominant CAN'T GET BID OF FACTS. , "I am no pessimist, I have abnndant faith in our institutions and in our brain and conscience to protect them, bnt if there is evil there is no need to shut our eyes to it and say there is not evil. As long as pnblic trusts are given to weak and venal men, there will be corruption. No doubt there is more corruption now than years ago. The people do not know how great this evil has become. Besides the many ignorant citizens that we have, we are every year flooded with these commodities from loreign shores. There are certain demoralizing influences left from the great national conflict of 30 years ago. I present no indictment, under stand, against the American people, for the majority of them are stronger at heart, but' they are not alive to the bribery that sur rounds them. There are enough purchasable1 votes in our large cities and States to decide a national election. The corruption will not stop until, like the atmosphere in mires containing deadly malaria, it will rise up and envelope eve'ry department of our Gov ernment. EMPLOYES VOTED AS SLAVES. "We have many employers in this coun try who,to a large extent,control the destinies of their workingmen, who depend upon them for subsistence. A suggestion is an im perative demand. Many of them'do not nse this power but some do,and without con science in instances of great party necessity. The thing o! greatest importance in our ballot system is that it shonld be secret Now it is not secret. Our forefathers decided many years ago that the secret was better than the viva voce method of voting, and they thought they had left us a pure and secret ballot. The best way to preserve the freedom of the ballot is to make it secret. "When the English statesmen saw that they mnst have a iree ballot, they turned to America for an example, but found that our system was a transparent sham. The theory of government is that 'Public office is a pub lic trust;' and if so, the Government should furnish the necessary election expenses of candidates and campaigns. To allow the candidate furnish bis own tickets is on the same principle as allowing him the control of the ballot box and the election. OPPORTUNITY AND MEANS. "The Australian system gives the citizen freedom, leaves him in secret with no eyes upon him except those of his Maker, and none to dictate, except his own conscience. We are liable to think more of the almighty dollar than our honor. I think that all evil should be fought from a moral standpoint The system takes away both the opportunity and the means for fraud. Those who care nothing lor their vote except its pecuniary value, will stay away and not contaminate the air with their detestable presence. The man of limited means could afford to run for office under this system. "It is a known fact that many a candidate of either party has had to pay more or as much as the amount of his salary to be elected. He must either be a man of means or else depend upon some other than honorable means to secure reimbursement. The free worker will be done away with by the poll worker. I do not mean the enthusiastic partisan who works fairly for his party principles, but the man who is the heeler, hired to buy, bulldoze or betray the voters. THE MACHINE "WOULD DIE, "When the ballot is made secret this clas3 of men will no longer find business at the polls. The party machine will be destroyed. I am myself an enthusiastio and offensive partisan and believe every citizen should he in the interest of the party of his choice, but I do not b'elieve In following the ring formed for the purpose of the aggrandize ment of any one individnal by unfair means." Here Mr. Sexton recited the points of the bill passed by the New York State Legisla ture at its last session. "There seems," he continued, "to be an impression that the measure is very com plicated. In one sense it is; in another it is not Some make a complaint of the cost to be added by the new law, but in so grave a matter that is the smallest of considerations. There are two provisions which we were compelled to accept and which now we regard with un easiness. The ballots that we have are a great deal inferior to the blanket ballot. The other objection is the poster ballot THE -WORK JUST BEGUN. The passage of this great law is very en couraging. The work has just begun and it is yet to be greatly perfected. After we have completed the reforms at the ballot box we shall go to the primaries and the conven tions. This law has not met with greatfavor with some of our citizens who will lose their market They are meu who look upon the Government us a gigantic job, and politics, if shrewdly managed, a profitable occupa tion. There are those who inquire if this law will benefit either party. Such a ques tion Bhould not be asked, for no party of SUNDAY, ATJGrTJST 17, principle shonld fear the result of an honest vote at the polls. "The surest way to strengthen the social edifice is to enlighten the ignorant Xet us do right because it is right; let us fight abuses because they are abuses. The poll ing places should be the the place of all places, where the law sits as Empress, up holding good and repressing evil." AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS. The National Society for the Protection of American Institutions was well repre sented on the Chautauqua platform to-day by two gentlemen of ability and eminence. This association composes some of the ablest men in the country, and its objects are best told by the speeches of the Hon. John Jav, L.L. D., and Dr. Byron King, of New York City. Mr. Jay." a grandson of the famous statesman of Revolutionary times, is a splendid example of the type of cultured and elderly Eastern gentlemen. A typical Knickerbocker, his benevolent face gleamed with pride and pleasure as he read a chaste and polished address on the subject so near his heart His speech en tirely concerned the public s.chool system and destroying and retrograding influences brought to bear upon it Dr. King made an explanatory and very radical talk, in which he said: "Pyhsiolog ically speaking, the public schools con stitute the digestive organs of onr body politic Henry Ward Beecher declared children of all nationalities go into the public schools and come out Americans. Our greatest statesmen and patriots have left the sentiment, 'See to it that you protect the free education of our children.' If (our .cherished institutions are to remainMt will be through Christian conscience. OPPOSED TO PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS. "Our present public school system sprang from the Christian church. The fact was never lost through all the years of troubles, quarrels and revolutions; it has never been forgotten that the common people need an education. In Colonial days right be side the church the schoolhouse was built Taxation, school funds and private benevolence are the present means of support of our public schools. We let people of every class and nation come into our homogeneous nation when certain ques tions were simple to solve. These questions are now difficult to solve. Whenever the Catholic Church has had control it has been destructive. The National Protective League is not an anti-Catholic organization, but it is an or ganization for the purpose of the protection of American institutions. To Catholic, Protestant, Hebrew, agnostic, when they attempt to swamp them it says, "hands off." Trend toward the unison of church and State shonld be stayed. BIGHTS OF THE STATE. "The very principles of the Bepublican form of government is dependent upon the public schools. When out of 18,000,000 children of school age there are 12,000,000 which are actually enrolled, there is danger to American institutions. The nation has a right to educate its sovereignty and there fore our children should be compelled to attend the public schools. The Superin tendent of Education at Washington recentlv said it was an absolute fact that our public schools system was deteriorating. Is it not then reasonable that we should be alarmed ?" Immediately after these speeches all the Chautauquans crowded themselves into the Amphitheater to hear a brilliant concert under the direction of Dr. Palmer, in which W. H. Sherwood, the great pianist; Madame Abbie Carrington, the singer; Forest Chen ey, the violinist, and the Schubert Quartet participated. In the evening Leland Powers, of Boston, gave readings, which were re ceived by an applauding and admiring audience. THROTTLING THE BLACKS. MISSISSIPPI STATESMEN SWEATING OVER PLANS TO DO IT. Senator Iceland I Afraid the Australian System Will Remit la Marling Schools for the Negroes The Dark Districts Hot lor White Kale. Jackson, Miss., August 16. Such of the Constitutional Convention committees as had business before them have been in session all day, and those having no busi ness to dispose of have discussed the all-ab sorbing suffrage question and the dispo sition the convention is likely to make of it A large number of the delegates from the Eastern or white portion of the State, it develops, are little concerned over the suffrage question. This section is so largely white that it has never felt the danger of negro supremacy that so con stantly menaces the western or black por tion. Senator Leland, a prominent delegate, said to your correspondent to-day that he very much doubted the practicability of the Australian system, and he doubted the con ventions adopting it; that it would en courage the establishment of negro schools all over the country, organized jnst for the purpose of teaching the negroes enough to enable them to vote. A promi nent delegate from the heavv negro section said that no change in the ballot laws would be accepted by his section that did not in sure white supremacy for all time to come. Both the plans of Senator George and Prof. Maines propose to cut down the rep resentation of the black counties and give it to the white counties, thus securing the Legislature to the whites and permitting it or some State body so constituted to elect the State officers. Neither of these plans propose any regulation whatever for suffrage, but leave the laws as they now are. The Elective Franchise Committee has been in session all day with closed doors, and members of it are put under secrecy to say nothing about anything that transpires in the committee. The delegates all seem to realize that, while the attention of the whole country is drawn to this convention, the South is particularly interested, and if any thing which carries in it wortby features of improvement is adopted, the Mississippi Constitutional Convention will be followed by like demonstrations all over the South.

FIRST ROUGH COUNT Of the Entire Country Jnst Completed by the Census Office, WITH 1,200 DISTRICTS MISSIKG. The Figures Kotv Given Out Show a Popula tion of 62,695,955. ALASKA HAS NOT BEEN HEAED FB0M, And a Number of the Noble Indians Will Still Eats to be Hunted Up. What is called the first rough count of the country was finished yesterday. The work will now be laid aside until the accounts of the 50,000 enumerators are examined and the men paid. The progress of the census was celebrated by a banquet last night. IFEOM X STJJT COKEISPOSDINT. 1 WASHINGTON, August 16. On Monday the entire force of the Census Office will be employed.in examining the accounts of the enumerators, so that this army of 50,000 men can be paid off a3 rapidly as possible. Ho other work will be done by the Census Office until these accounts have been dis posed of. Taking advantage ot this lull in the important work of the office Mr. Porter will leave on Monday for a ten days' vaca tion, which he will spend with his family at Deer Park. During his absence, however, he will pre pare his annual report, which will give an account of the" operations of the Census Office for the year ending June 30, 1890. In this report Mr. Porter will sketch the work of each of tbe 23 divisions of the office, and will show what progress has been made. He also intends to prepare a special report on recounts, in which he will give the details ot the various cases that have come before the office of cities and -towns which de manded a recount of the population. NOT MANY BECOUNTS. He will show that there were nearly 50 such cases, and of this entire number it was found necessary to make a recount in only five instances, namely, Kansas City, one county in Oregon, St Paul, Minneapolis and Helena, Mont In the case of Kansas City only a partial recount was found neces sary. In other instances the lists of names that were presented with the allegation that they represented the omissions made by the enumerators, were compared with the schedules, and corrections made where it was found necessary. In the great majority of cases where complaints were received, in vestigation, as Mr. Porter will show, demonstrated that they were without ground. His conclusion, after reviewing the entire subject ot recounts, as illustrated by the experience of the present census, is that in nine cases out of ten the complaints grew out of jealousy of some rival city rather than in any dereliction of duty on the part of the census enumerators or supervisors. BOUGH CODNT OP THE COUNTRY. The first rough count of the population of the United States was practically completed to-day. It shows a result of 62,695,95o people. There arc still, however, something like 1,200 districts from which returns have not yet been received. These are scattered all over the country, but are principally in the Far West and Southwest Alaska is also to be heard from, besides all the Indians whose ennmeration is being conducted separately, and has only just been commenced. These will bring up the total to the 64,000,000 estimated bySuperin tendent Porter, and will perhaps carry it beyond that estimate. Ten years ago, it is stated, the count was not completed until March, 1881. Naturally the completion of such a gigantic task as this count has been in such a com paratively shorttime is considered by those under whose direction it has been done a cause for aelf-congratulation, and to-night the chic's of the population division cele brated the occasion by a little dinner at "Glen Echo," one of the fashionable suburban resorts of Washington. ELECTRICITY VEKY USEFUL. The "Hollerith electric tabulating system" has been in nse by the Census Office for the tabulation of the schedules of population taken under the eleventh census. Superintendent Porter, in expressing his congratulations upon the rapid and ac curate completion of this great work, spoke as follows: It may not have occurred to any of this littlo band ol faitbtal workers, consisting of chiefs and section chiefs from the oonnlatinn dlvislnn of the census, that you are celebrating a great event here in this picturesque spot For tho first time in the history of the world tbe connt of the population of a great nation bas been made by the aid of electricity. The number of names on every one of 15.00O.00Q schedule ha been registered twice by the nimble and expert uuera ul luu uuumersv.ana me D.uuv.iuu peo ple have marched, as it were, under the vision of tbe young men and women who have done such remarkablo work wltn such extraordinary rapidity and precisiun. What a procession you hava had pass before you. The men who wrote those names havo had to find them in every human habitation and existing under every imaginable condition within this vast domain of ours. In June these blanks were distributed throcghout tbe coun try. In July and August they find themselves back in the Pension Office, counted twice and ready for tbe next statistical treatment Allow ing for the time spent in teaching and in fitting up tho machines the count proper was not commenced before July 1, and the .night force was not organized until some time afterward, COUNTED THEM TWICE. We have actually counted 128,000,000 in six weeks, or tho entire population of 61,000,000 twice io that time. Beginning with 2,000 or 3,000 families or 10,000 or 15,000 persons per day, tho operatives progressed in dexterity until last Thursday, when no less than 43 counted over 10,000 families or 0,000 persons each, one young Iauv reaching tne astonishing total of 18,071 families, or about80,000persons. On that day not only the highest averages were reached but the greatest number counted, the reports showing 1,813,318 families or 8,711,090 persons. This represents an average of 8.135 famine or 40,075 person per clerk. In this connection I think it my duty to say that In tbe "general average" the male clerks, man like, I hear some of the young women whisper, seek refuge behind the petticoats ot the gentler sex. The average number counted by the women was 9,590 families or 47,9-50 persons, and by the men clerks 6,587 families or 82,935 persons Thus it will be seen that the women averaged nearly one-half more than the men. It is also wortn noting mac oi ino u wno counted more than 10,000, Zi were women and only 5 raeD. ThesB facts, aud indeed the record of tho entire six weeks, show that women are better adapted for this particular work than men. They are more exact in toncb, more expedi tious lu handling tbe schedules, more at home in adjusting the delicate mechanism of tho machine and apparently more ambitious to make a good record. ONE FEATURE FOE BEORET. While I congratulate you on the completion of the rough count and thank you sincerely for the great interest you have taken in this iork, for the many extra hours you have given to keep it moving, I must sympathize with you in tbe sorrowful fact that yon have no more coun ties to count Alexander Is said to have wept becauso he had no more woilds to conquer, and Hunt and Sutherland, in the midst of this gay festivity, look solemn and sad at th 3 paltry total of 128,000,000, and. with a ghastly smile, I can hear them say: "We had to count the pop ulation twice in order to reach those figures." Distance is overcome and lessened when wo can fl.ish our thoughts thousands of mile3 in a few minutes, and cross the Atlantic in five days. So it is in tho census work. With the force that left work this afternoon, working night and day as we have worked, we could, with these electrical machines, count tbe entire population of the United States in ten days of seven working hours each. Estimating the population of the civilized world at C50.000,OCU we could couut it In 100 davs, while the bright young women andsturdy young men of our population division could ran through tho entire population of tbe earth, which, including Asiatics -and savages, is es timated at 1,300,000,000, in less than 200 days; providing places could be found to store tbe schedules.

The trial of Mrs. Mary Morgan for the murder of her husband, Jacob Morgan, is now in prog ress at Middlebourne, Tyler county. The little town is filled with people and a big crowd of dangerous roughs from Brush Creek, where the murder was committed. Jacob Morgan was an old joltlier and pen sioner and very popular. He was brutally murdered in May, 1888, under circumstances which threw suspicions on his wife, who was under social ban for alleged indiscretion. Morgan had received a big pension a few davs before he was killed, and on that evening when the alarm was civen, the neighbors found him in his home in a kneeling position with an arm on the bed supporting the body. His throat was cut from ear to ear. there was a bullet hole throucb the body and great gashes in the side, severing the ribs. Mrs. Morgan's tale was that three men had entered their home, and that one shot him and another cut his throat Her story was not be lieved, as blood clots were found at tbe door, showing that be had been killed outside the house. Detectives went to work, but were surrounded in the bouse one night and had a battle with unknown men. Tbey left the country, bnt returned quietly and worked up the case a gainst tbe woman. State's witnesses so lar In the trial havo testified to many incriminating statements and admissions made by tbe woman before and after the murder. As tho trial progresses a strong chain of circumstantial evidence is be ing wound about tbe woman. It is believed that before tbe trial is over the names of her accomplices will come to llzbt Tbe trial is being hardly fought on both sides. To several of the witnesses the woman said she bad dreamed that Morgan would be murdeiedfor his money, to another that he would be killed in a week, and to another that she would soon .draw the pension.

The Dis patch correspondent visited John C. Erosi alia3 John C. Mullen to-day, and was cor dially received. He was perfectly willing and anxious to talk on outside matters, bnt when the matter of extradition was suggested he frankly said: "I am instructed by my lawyers not to say a word. I would like to oblige you, bnt under the circumstances I can't However, anything my lawyers wish to give yon yoa are perfectly free to make nse o'f." He cannot be quizzed in the least and will evade every question. He remains clothed as ordinarily, and his meals are brought to him from a neighboring hotel, while a barber is admitted every other day to shave him. Yesterday Inspector McKinley, who is a warm, personal friend of the prisoner, asked him to go back, but he refused, and the In spector then swore out a warrant under the extradition treaty of this year. The Dispatch correspondent next in terviewed Messrs. Hanna & Cowan, the prisoner's attorneys. This firm is comprised of two of the best lawyers in the province. The senior member. Judge Hanna, is a noted criminal lawyer, wbile the jnnior member, Mr. Cowan, is a noted politician. The senior member gave the fol lowing information : The defense claims that antbority was given to discount any of these notes and that there was no forging in the matter. They will fight the matter to the bitter end in behalf of their client, and if Magistate Bartlet gives a decision against them they have 14 days in which to carry the matter to the high Court of Justice of Ontario, which they will do. The amount the bank in question is pressing is a note for $385, although tbe notes they have to deal with amount to $1,500 and the total alleged forgeries to $6,000. The firm feel confident that they will pull tbe prisoner through, as the defense will have a pretty hard thing to prove forgery nnder the circumstances.
