In the O'Shea divorce case to-day Mr. Justice Butt, availing himself of the power conferred by act of Parliament, declined to allow the question of cruelty to be charged against Mr. O'Shea, or the charge of infidelity against Mrs. Steele 'ShJft,n go to the jury, on v the ground that there Ca&aPiT was no evidence t0 support them. The only questions there fore on which the jury was called upon to decide were was Mr. Parnell unduly intimate with Mrs. O'Shea, and did Mr. O'Shea connive at the same. The jury, witho ut any hesitation, found for Captain O'Shea on both issues, and gave him tbe custody of the younger children, while they condemned the conduct of both Mr. Parnell and Mrs. O'Shea. Mr. Justice Butt in his address made a great point of Mr. Parnell's getting out of the house by means of the fire escape when Captain O'Shea returned home. The Additional Evidence Produced. The court resumed its sitting at 11 o'clock. The room was crowded to its utmost capac ity and many people were unable to get in, and so had to stand about the doors. Sir Edgar "Wood, Mrs. O'Shea's brother, was in court and was joined by Mrs. Wood and Captain O'Shea. Justice Butt.on taking his seat, intimated to the Solicitor General, who was counsel for tbe petitioner, O'Shea, that he was not satisfied of the identity of Mr. Parnell as established on Saturday by photographs, it being the practice of the court never to act in such cases on mere photographic evi dence. The Solicitor General created wild ex citement by announcing that he bad subpoenaed Mr. Parnell and would call him it necessary, but thought there would be sufficient evidence of identity without him. The Testimony of a Sen ant. Jane Glcnister, a servant, gave evidence of Mr. Parnell's visits to Mrs. O'Shea at Eltham and Brighton from October, '80, till October, '82, during which time the witness was in Mrs. O'Shea's service. At Eltham Mr. Parnell bad slept in a room separated from that ot Mrs. O'Shea by a dressing room, which opened on both apartments. On one occasion only was the door locked. Mrs. O'Shea explained that witness must take no notice, as there were agents of a secret society about, and it was necessary that doors should be locked. This evidence created much amusement and laughter in court. "Wit ness said fur ther that she was told by Mrs. O'Shea 4. -.... -.. 'V bo d v that asked for Mr. Parnell that he was not there. Mr. Parnell "was there a good deal dur ing the day when Parlia v lMfr O'Shea. the Fair nient ting. was sit- fenaant. He hardly ever went out until it was time to go to the House of Commons. Sujiner in the Early aiornlng. Mr. Parnell used to come home from Par liament at 1:30 o'clock in the morning. Mrs. O'Shea used to go to bed between 9 and 10, and when Mr. Parnell returned she would come down again and join him. "Witness used to set the supper table and then go to bed, leaving Mr. Parnell and Mrs. O'Shea together. Witness had taken letters ad dressed to Mr. Parnell from Mrs. O'Shea. Captain O'Shea sometimes came to Eltham 'on Sunday, but not often. Jane Chapman, waitress, deposed that she was in Mrs. O'Shea's servic in July and August, 1885. She 6aid that Mr. Parnell was with Mrs. O'Shea the whole time. At times tbey were in the room with the door locked and they often stayed out late to gether. The coachman, Richard "Wise, said that he was with Mrs. O'Shea from the spring of 1883 til! the latter part of 1888. He spoke of Mr. Parnell's visits and of a collision with a brougham on May 21, 1886. Thomas Partridge gave corroborative evidence, bnt bis testimony was very prosaic, having ex clusive reference to Mr. Parnell's visits, and disclosing rxothing novel. A Page Also Produced. A page boy, named Thomas Kellett, who has since enlisted, appeared in court in cavalry uniform, and, together with a num ber of other witnesses, spoke in particular of the storr of Mrs. O'Shea and Mr. Par- " . Br I C it, "jrrl7A WVA& ? f i .sy , yfff. i T I r&M mpm 4 P) nell at Eastbourne, 1886. Kellett said that he had once gone to Brighton to dispatch a telegram lor Mrs. O'Shea. Samuel Luck, builder of St. John's road, Eastbourne, remembered a lady and gentle man coming to look at No. 2, St. John's Road, in May, 1886. His impression was that they were staying at the Queen's Hotel. The gentleman gave no name. The house was taken for eight weeks, the agreement was signed "Kate O'Shea," and the rent was paid in that lady's checks. They stayed for 19 weeks, nnd witness heard it said that the gentleman was Mr. Parnell. Samuel Drury, a cab proprietor living at Eastbourne, produced the book which he kept at the time when Mr. Parnell borrowed a cab. In this he entered the various occa sions upon which he drove Mr. Parnell and Mr. O'Brien to the station and elsewhere. Wi &v CAarlei 81 eteart Darnell, tit rio-respondent. On Jane 25, 1886, he drove -1 Parnell and a lady to Polegate station. ! he 6tb,13ch, 20th and on the 25th he nX-Mr. 'Parnell and Mrs. O'Shea and drove them to the sta tion, as well as to other places. It was close upon midnight on the 20th when he met them at the station. "Witnesses "Without Number. Ernst Tinol, an Eastbourne honse agent, stated that on July 31, 1886, he received a a letter signed B. Campbell, with reference to taking Morie House for a year. He sub sequently saw Mrs. O'Shea, who was ac companied bv a gentleman, and she took the house. There was an agreement that the house should be papered. "Witness called upon Mrs. O'Shea in reference to the paper she had chosen and saw the gentleman in question in her company several times both at the new house and at St. John's Road. The photograph of Mr. Parnell was prodnced, and witness said that it was that ot the gentleman to whom he had referred. Mrs. Steele, the intervener in the suit, went into the witness box and proceeded to give a denial to the charge that either in July, 1881, or on any other occasion she had been unduly intimate with tbe petitioner. A juryman caused a little sensation by hinting that he was not satisfied that Cap tain O'Shea had not neglected his wife. Ti satisfy that gentleman's scruples Captain O'Shea, who was very nervous and agitated, stepped into the witness box and was cate chised by a juryman. He asseverated that he had been a most kind husband and a good father. He gave denial.to the asser tion that after Challenging Mjsf Parnell to a Duel he bad invited him to his honse to dinner. Another juryman, taking advantage of the witness' presence in the box, elicited the fact that it was in the autumn of 1886 that Captain and Mrs. O'Shea finally parted company, and had never lived together since that time. Tbe solicitor general having waived his right to address the jury, the judge at 12:40 proceeded to sum up. He said he was greatly perplexed as to the line he should take and the exact amount of liberty he should leave to the jury. It was quite obvious be feared that if he either left one general issue or all the issues not specifically stated to the jury, there was a chance of a disagreement. That being so, his lordship, availing himself of the power conferred by an act of Parliament, declined to allow the question of cruelty charged against Mr. O'Shea to go to the jury on the ground that there was no evidence to support the accu sation. In the same way he refused to allow the charge against Mrs. Steele to go to tbe jury, there being again no evidence on that head. Without hesitation the jury found for Mr. O'Shea, and the judge pronounced a de cree nisi, giving to Mr. O'Shea the enstody of the younger children, and condemning the respondent and co-respondent in costs. He is Still the Irish Leader. A dispatch from Dnblin says: The .Free man's Journal makes the- following state ment: 1 have direct authority for stating that Mr. Parnell has not the remotest intention of abandoning either permanently or temporarily his position or his duties as leader of the Irish Parliamentary party. This may bo implicitly accepted as Mr. Parnell's firm resolution, and perhaps by learning it in time tbe Piggottist press may be spared the humiliation of indulging in a prolonged outburst of nseless vilification. In arriving at tbis determination I need not say that Sir. Parnell is actuated ex clusively by bis sense of bis responsibility to the Irish people, by whose suffrage he holds bis public position and who alone have the power or the right to Influence his pnblic ac tion. Tbe wild, nnscrnpnlons and insincere sbnekings of tbe Figgottists on the platform and in the press can and will do nothing to alter Mr. Parnell's resolve. THE LOG BOOK'S TALE.

People Cured by Prof. Koch in Need of Accommodations. fBT BCXLAF'S CABLE COMPAKT.l Beblin, November 17. All the mag nanimous talk about tbe unlimited amount of funds to be placed at the disposal of Prof. Koch has suddenly been silenced. The fact is that the provisions for the poor patients are so unspeakably miserable that the Vostiche Zeitung cries out that money lor providing beds in the barracks and hospitals for the poor is preferable to tirades on Koch's genius. Temporary hos pitals have been established in empty lofts and flats, devoid of any sanitary arrange ments and even pure air. There is nobody to offer money or help to the people who are' cured oy Toi. li.ocu, ana iney may aie ior want of proper accommodations. The hospital is up three flights of stairs, and consists of a series of dirty back rooms, in which the patients may be seen standing or lying about the corridors, while the rooms are filled with foul air. In Dr. Cornet's surgery, which is only a small room, four patients were this morning stripped and' examined at the same time. Dr. Cornet has not any lymph at the present time.

A Contemplated Change at the New Government Bnilding. HIS WORK IS HOT SATISFACT0EY To the Officials of tbe Treasury Depart ment at Washington. CHANGES IK THE OLD B0ILD1KG .moil A BTATT CORRESrONDETT.I Washington, November 17. Postmas ter McKean passed the day In tbe city, and, as he always is when ho comes here, was full of business pertaining to the inteiests of his oflice. Finding that it will be impossible to remove the postoflice into the Govern ment building before next spring, on ac count ofjthe dilatory manner in which the work on that structure is being conducted, Mr. McKean, to make the best of a bad situa tion, is urging on the department certain changes in the interior arrangement of tbe old building which will enable the force to work to better advantage. The business of the office has increased so rapidly that accommodations' whioh were measurably adequate even a year ago are now found lacking to n degree that seriously impairs the convenience, not to say the efficiency, of the office. As an illustration of the increase of business, Mr. McKean cites that the receipts for last month were upward of $8,000 more than those of any1 other month in the history of the office. , The postmaster passed some time in con versation with Assistant Postmaster General Whitfield'in regard to the changes, and was assured that everything would be granted that is necessary lor the convenience of the, office and the public of Pittsburg. In con nection with this it may be said that it is seriously contemplated by the authorities of tbe Treasury Department to relieve'.Superin tendent Malone, who, alter a spurt of a lew months, got tired hurrying and has been ut terly incorrigible in his persistent delay. The department people are of the opinion that if the Superintendent had done his whole duty the postoffijie wonld by this time be in the new building. Had they been able to find another person, entirely competent and conscientious, will ing to accept the position for the brief time which would elapse prior to the end of the work, Malone would have been relieved some time ago. So exasperating has been his recent conduct of the work that he re moval is contemplated even at this late day, and several names for the succession are now under consideration at the department.

Politics have been an entertaining feature of the Knights of Labor meeting during the past few days. It is asserted that the executive officers of the order wrote circulars and scattered them broadcast over Pennsylvania urging all the Knights of Labor to support Patti son for Governor,. an, d that in another State similar tactics bad beeff resorted to. This reflected directly upon General Master Workman Fowderly, who was the recipient of many unenviable compliments during the day and a scathing rebuke at the hands of the minority. At the morning session Powderly's salary was reduced from S3.000 to 53,500, after wbich he was re-lected General Master Workman by the few in attendance. Hugh Cavanagb, of Cincinnati, will act as Worthy Foreman ior the next two years, while John W. Hayes will continue in the capac ity of Secretary and Treasurer, and the Ex ecutive Board will be elected to-morrow. According to reports, the order has a pay ing membership of less than 200,000, while the surplus money on hand is not difficult to count. Tbe assembly is expected to come to a close on Wednesday.

THE NEW KELIGI0N. i - The Famous Indian Messiah Brings Messages of Peace, Not War. WHY THE EED SKINS ARE EXCITED. Porcupine, an Apostle of the Messiah, Tells the Wondrons Tale OP HIS JOUEKEI TO MEET HIS LORD Chicago, November 17. General Miles has received from the Post Adjutant at Fort Sill, Mont., the report of Lieutenant F. C. Robertson, relating to the new relig ious craze at the Cheyenne agency, as fol lows: On my arrival at the agency I put myself in immediate communication with Porcnpme, tbe apostle of the new religion among theCbey ennes, and with Big Beaver, who accompanied him on his visit, I bad a long talk with them. The former was almost entirely the spokesman, Big Beaver merely corroborating his state ments. Porcupine related in snbstance the story re ported last summer, a copy of wbich is here with forwarded. When questioned as to the Identity f the 15 or 16 tribes who were at tho Walker Lake meeting last year, he said that they included Cbeyennes, Sioux, Arrapahoes, Gros "Ventres, Utes, Navajos, Bannocks and some other tribes whose names he did not know. THE APOSTLE'S PIEST KNOWLEDGE. He is sure there were no tribes from Indian Territory represented, and thinks the Sioux the most eastern Indians present. He says that he first heard of this new Christ at the Arrapaboe,(yhoshones) agency, Wyom ing, where he and 17 other Cheyennes went on a visit last fall. An Arrapaboe Indian named Sage, who bad been to the Southwestern conn try in 1SSS, told them that there was a new Christ, a new Christ arisen for the Indians; told where he could be found and explained his doctrine to them. Porcupine goes on to sav tbat he and the other Cheyennes were much interested and determined to see this Messiah, but as all could not go so far nine of the Cbey ennes were sent back to the Toncue River reservation to tell the people what tbey had heard. The Porcupine and the other Cheyennes went on. TEACHES PEACE, NOT Tf AE. When they got to Utah they received large accessions to their caravan. Indians join ing them in groups at different points en ronte, so that when the final meeting took place at Walker Lake, to hear the Christ speak, there were, as near as Porcupine could estimate, 700 Indians present, including women and chil dren. He especially insists that the teachings of tbe new Christ were In tbe interest of peace and good order and industry on the part of the In dians. 1 asked him if he could explain how it was, then, tbat certain Indian tribes had made this new doctrine a basis for neglecting their crops, indulging in demoralizing dances and even in disorder, as bad been tbe case on certain reservations. His answer is so shrewd, and touches so nearly the probable explanation of tbe facts, tbat I recorded it. He said that the Indians who had gone to hear this new Christ with him had gone hop ing to hear him preach some incendiary doctrine, and that they were disappointed at hearing that tbe new creed required them to simply work and behave themselves; that being known by their people to have visited this new Messiah, they concluded on their re turn home not to relate strictly what this man had told them, but to put into bis mouth doctrines more agreeable to tbe Indians. These men, said Porcupine, are all liars, and they are responsible for any trouble that occurs, not tbe now Messiah. THE MESSIAH IDENTIFIED. The above comprises all the additional in formation gathered from Porcupine himself. It may be added that he claims the ability, in case of trouble about this new belief on any reservation, to put a stop to It, it called upon to do so. From Henry Rced.the Arrapahoe Interpreter, information was obtained which, if true, wonld etablisb the identity fit tbe sv-called new' ..lessmn. itceuaj3 inisnew Aieaianisa rait-. TJto Indian named John Johnson. He says Johnson is a very intelligent, but not an edu cated, Indian. This man lives on the Walker Lake (Pah-TJte) reservation, where Reed says there ought to be no difficulty about finding him. Reed claims to know this man person ally, and seems to be very positive as to the idantity of this man with the new Christ. As a matter of interest in this connection. Reed reports that the Arrapahoes are mnche x cited over this new doctrine, and that they have destroyed many of their fences, and that many of them have even torn down their houses and sold the logs. He says tbe agent and Indian police have entirely lost control of them. POECnPINE'S STOET. Appended to the above is the statement of tbe Cheyenne Porcupine, in his meeting with the new Christ: In November last I left the reservation Tttth two other Cheyennes. I went through Washakie and took the Union Pacific Railroad at Raw lins. We got on early in the morning about breakfast, rode all day on tbe railroad, and about dark reached a fort (supposed to be Fort Brldger). I stayed there two "days and then took a passenger train, and the next morning ot to Fort Hall. I fonnd some lodges of nakes and Bannocks there. I saw the agent here, and he told me 1 could stay at the agency, bnt tbe chief of the Bannocks, who was there, took me to his camp nearby. The Bannocks told me they were clad to see a Cheyenne, and that we ought to make a treaty with tbe Ban nocks. The chief told me ho had been to Washing ton; had seen the President, and that we onght all to bo friends with thevwhites, and live at peace with them and with each other. STAETS TO MEET THE CHBIST. Wo talked these matters over for ten days. The agent then sent for mo and some of tho Bannocks and Sboshones. and asked me where 1 was going. I told him I was just traveling to meet other Indians and see other countries; that my Deoplo were at peace with tbe whites, and I thought I could travel anywhere I wished. We took the railroad to a little station near by and then took a narrow-gauge road. We n ent on this road all night at a very rapid rate of speed, ana came to a town on a big lake (Salt Lake). We stayed there one day, taking the cars at night, rode all night, and the next morning about 9 o'clock saw a settlement of Indians. We traveled South, going on a narrow-gauge road. We got oil at this Indian town. The Indians here were different from any I ever saw. The women and men were dressed in white people's clothes, tbe women having their hair banded. These Indians had their faces painted white, with black spots. We stayed with these people all day. We took the same road at night and kept on. We traveled all night and abont daylight we saw a lot of bonses, and tbey told us there were a lot more Indians, so we got off, and there is where we saw Indians living in huts of grass. STEANGE INDIANS MET. There were whites living near by. We got on tbe cars again at night, and dnring tbe night we got off among some Indians who Were fish eaters. We stayed among them till morning, and then got into a wagon with the son of a chief of the fish-eaters and we arrived about noon at 'an agency on a big river. There was also a big lake near the agency. From this agency we went back to the station and tbey told us there were some more Indians to tbe houtb. One of the chiefs of tbe fish eaters then furnished ns with four wagons. We traveled all day and then came to another railroad. We left our wagons here and took the rail road, the fish-eaters telling us where there wero some more Indians along tbe railroad who wanted to see u. We took this railroad about 2 o'clock and abont sun-down got to another agency, where there were more fish-eaters. ( From diagrams drawn and explanations given of them, in addition to the foregoing, there seems to be no doubt tbat the lakes visited are Pyramid and Walker lakes. Western Nevada, and the agencies those of the same name.) Tbey told us tbey bad heard from tbe Sho shone agency that the people in this country were all bad people, but that there were good people there. What am I going to say is the truth.' The two men sitting near me were with me and will bear witness that I speak tbe truth. 1 and my people have been living in Ignorance until! wentand found out tbe truth. All the whites and Indians are brothers, I was told there. I never knew this before. IN HOLT PLACES. The fish-eaters near Pyramid Lake told me that Christ had appeared on earth again. They said Christ knew he was coming; that 11 of bis children were also coming from a far land. It appeared tbat Christ bad sent for me to go there, and that was why I took my journey. It has beeu fore-ordained. They told me when I got there that my great father was there also, but I did not know-wbo be was. The people assembled, called a council, and the chiefs THE FINANCIAL STATUS. Bulls and Bears May Fight Within the Cage, But Can't Injure Outsiders. sons went to see the great father, who sent word to ns to remain 14 days in tbat camp, and tbat then he would come and see us. At the end of two days, on th5 third morning; hundreds of people gathered at tbis place. They cleared a place near the agency in the form of a circus-ring, and we all gathered there. Jhst before sundown I saw a great many people, mostly Indians coming, dressed in white men's clothes. Tbe Christ was with them. They all formed In this ring and around it: they put up sheets all around the circle, as they had no tents. Just after dark some of the Indians told me that Christ (Father) was arrived. I looked around to find him, and finally saw him sitting on one side of the ring. He was dressed in a white coat witb stripes. The rest of his dress wr a white man's, except that he had on a pair of a3ins. 3j"HE MESSIAH COMES.

It is ru mored here tbat Jay Gould has secured a controlling interest in the Atchisen, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad.

It is known that last May Gould secured at least one-fourth of the stock, and since that time he has been gathering in all that was offered at low enough figur es.

Completeness of the Work Undertaken to Believe the Barinp. ATTE5TI02I TO EAILWAI SfcCUElTIES rsrzctAi. telxobax to ttts dispatch, i NEV7 Yoek, November 17. The galleries of the Stock Exchange were crowded this mornins with people, who evidently ex pected an approach to, if not a repetition of, tbe stirring events of Saturday. They were doomed to disappointment, for the stock market presented a calmer surface than at any time within the last two weeks. The opening was particularly tame, as the tone continued steady, and hopes that the worst was over were succeeded by conviction. It was a great thing for every one to have had Sunday to think over the events of Satur day. The members of the Stock Exchange by tacit agreement, adopted a policy that will go a long way toward restoring con fidence, at least so far as "Wall street is con cerned, and probablv throughout the coun try. They had a big day's work before'them to settle with each other for the million and more shares of stock that were dealt in on i Friday and Saturday. That alone was sufficient to make them conservative as to the volume of business tbey might transact. Customers who wished to deal on margin were discouraged from doing so. The professional element was inclined to take things quietly, and even the bears, whose money-making depends upon tbe solvency of those with whom they do business, forebore to attack values. Tbis general disposition resulted in a smaller volume of business than was transacted in two hours on Saturday. ONLT THBEE SMALL FAILUEES. A few small failures were expected, but only three insolvencies were announced. Of these firms, no rumors had assailed two Mills, Robinson & Smith and Randall & "NViernm. The misfortunes of the first named were, owing to the forethought of the police, thoroughly understood before business was resumed on tho Stock Ex change. The greatest regret was expressed for all three, as all have enjoyed the re spect and confidence of their business asso ciates for many years. The closing out by the Chairman of the securities ot these firms did not disturb the L market perceptibly) in fact, the only sensa tion of the day was lha forced covering of some short contracts in Lackawanna and in Northern Pacificprc.'erred. Efforts to bring about an extensive liquidation in Lacka wanna were not as pronounced to-day as they were on Saturday. Those who are most largely interested in that stock are not the sort of people to allow the value of their property to be permanently marked down. Northern Pacific preferred and North American again furnished almost conclu sive evidence that the liquidation in those stocks is over. Tbe affairs of tbe North American Company have improved so much during the last few days that it can now be authoritatively stated tbat cot only is the company solvent, but amply able to zespond to all claims against it, and should it pay them all, it would still have a handsome surplus. GOOD NEWS FBOM ABROAD. The news from abroad was calculated to dispel any doubU that may have lingered as to the completeness of the work undertaken by the Bank of England and its associates in the Baring guarantee syndicate. Large subscriptions to that fnnd which are re ported to bave been received in London from interior points were construed by tbe pessimistic element in "Wall street to mean that the fund as originally announced was not large enough for the purpose. The best informed bankers say that this is not the case. Tbey explain-the additional subscriptions on two grounds. One is a desire to partici pate in an undertaking wbich could not be made public at the time the Bank of Eng land made up tbe syndicate. Another is the possibility of profit from the transaction. It is believed by some that the immense ma chinery and excellent credit which the Barings have established will be taken ad vantage of by a stock company formed tor take hold of us business. It is thonght that a suggestion of some thing of that sort was detected in cable ad vices received to-day that the personnel of the firm might be changed. In addition to these reasons, it Is possible that from patriotic motives, as well as for the prestige that may attach to the connection, leading provincial bankers wish to divide with the Bank of England the responsibility which it has assumed. Now that the excitement created by the news of Saturday has begun to subdue, "Wall street ii turning its attention again to the "Western railroad situation. From this on the interest of the public in that direc tion will doubtless be greater than it has been, for investors bave picked up and taken away from "Wall street a great many rail way securities. CALL FOB A CONFERENCE EXPECTED. A call for an important conference be tween the Presidents of the "Western roads and certain of the principals of those roads and the bankers who represent more widely distributed holdings is expected. It may be deferred for awhile. Indeed, it is under stood tbat its appearance rests largely with those who hold the securities of those com panies. If such a conference is held, the bankers who attend it want to feel that they have the tangible support of those who own the prop erties. J. Pierrepont Morgan has been urged by some land securityholders to make a call for such a conference as has been out lined in the newspapers within the last week. In the judgment of those most famil iar with the situation, the success of tha present movement to reform the methods of railroad management depends almost en tirely upon the holders of the stocks and bonds ot those companies. Every one of them should consider it his duty, if he wishes his interests protected, to formally request, either directly or through his own banker or broker, tnat steps be taken by tbe leading banking houses of the country to bring about whatever changes may be necessary to place the Western trunk lines upon a mora profita ble basis.
