O'DONNEL'S TRIAL.

Beginning of the Famous Trial in Lnn rton—Evidence for the Prosecution. LONDON,

November

30.—The

trial

of O'Donnell, the murderer of James Carey, began this morning before Judge George Denman, in Old Bailey police court. Two sheriffs and several aldermen occupied seats upon the bench. The small court room was crowded several ladies were present, No one was admitted without a ticket. The approaches were thronged. Charles Russell, A. M. Sullivan, Solid tor Gu y, and Roger A. Pryor were present as counsel for O'Donnell. Henry James, attorney general, Poland and R. 8. Wright appeared for the govern ment.

O'Donnell entered the dock from the adjoining prison, surrounded by officers. He seemed unconcerned, and stood very erect at first then bowed his head and clasped his hands, quietly cant glances at his counsel, and closely watched the jurors, as called. After the reading of the charge O'Donnell took his seat, leaned over and whispered to Guy for a few moments. The jury is a very intelligent one, composed of men of middle and mature age.

There was no excitement outside the conrf,-house but few people were there and they mostly respectable ones. A large police force is guarding the court.

Russell, of O'Donnell's counsel, demanded that witnesses be excluded from the court-room. Granted. The jury being called, the clerk asked O'Dannell if he had any objections to any of them. O'Donnell replied: "I trust to my solicitor for that." While the jury was being completed O'Donnell seemed amused and exchanged greeting with Pryor. None of the Jurymen were challenged.

Henry James opened the cap" for the government. He described Carey .departure from England and the voy

age

to Capetown, and said there was no evidence to prove that the prisoner had Embarked on the steamer Kinfauns Castle to kill Carey but anew witness, Cubitt, would testify that at Capetown he gave the prisoner, at his urgent request, a rough sketch of Carey and the prisoner remarked upon receiving it: "I'll shoot him."

re-assembling,

the who

young Carey di

rect evidence was resumed, and was about the same as given at the preliminary examination. On cross-examina-tion hp said, he had stated at the Bow street examination that Parish came from the cabin when the first shot was fired. That statement, he said, was untrue. He had not then understood the question. The witness was severely questioned concerning other inconsistencies in his present evidence with that given at. the Bow street examination. The frequency with hjcli the witness contradicted him•eif caused much amusement in court-, and the spectators,

fln

The witness finally admitted he was 1.. •doubt as to which hand was used. He acknowledged telling Beecher, the secmnd officer of the ship, that he took his (father's pistol to keep it out of his nnother's way. Being asked how this •statement agreed with the previous •evidence that, be got it from his father, flie declared both statements were true. ITte denied tolling Walter Young at

H'ort Elizabeth that his father liad his pistol when killed. Walter Young was hore brought into «ourt, and the witness said he did not wollert. him. Carey denied that "Yuan" asked him why he did not kill

O'Donnell with his father's pistol at the time of the murder,'and he replied: "I ran for the pistol, but it was not there father had it."

Mrs. Carey, widow of the murdered man, appeared as a witness. She was dressed in deep mourning and spoke in a subdued voice. She repeated the testimony she gave at the preliminaiy trial. She reiterated that O'Donnell exclaimed, "He was sent to -do it." The cross-examination of Mrs. Carey was very brief 'and developed nothing new.

Marks testified that he was sitting in the open hatchway and saw O'Donnell and Carey below. The former was very quiet, but Carey was talking excitedly, as if laying down the law. Soon after this be heard a shot, and saw O'Donnell's hand go down and then up to fire a second snot. He saw no indication of violence on the part of Carey. There was no pistol in Carey's hand. He heard O'Donnell tell Mrs. Carey he "could not help it"

Robert Thomas Culbitt, a passenger on the ship was unaware that "Pow er" was James Carey until they arrived at Capetown. He was there shown a supplement of the Dublin Weekly Freeman, which contained a portrait of Carey and an account of his connectiou with the Irish Invincibles. He recognized the portrait as that of "Power." He showed the portrait to O'Donnell who remarked "I'll shoot him." O'Donnell asked for and the witness gave him the portrait. On cross-examination Cubitt said: "When O'Donnell remarked 'I'll shoot him' he spoke in a pleasant manner. The witness rattached no importance to the remark at the time.

The witness Marks is a hotel keeper at Cape Town, W. Beecher, the second officer, and Captain. Rose, the commander of the Melrose Castle, Dr. Ensor, the district medical officer of Port Elizabeth, and Inspector Cherry, of the Port Elizabeth police. Their testimony was mainly as upon the examination at the Bow street court. Inspector Cherry further identified the portrait of Carey as that found in O'Donnell's trunk, and also a newspaper cutting headed, "Irish Revolutionist in America."

A legal discussion arose regarding the admission of the newspaper cutting as evidence. Sullivan said the introduction would impart a politcal element, into thetrial. Judge Denman thought it would be dangerous. Attorney General James would not. press the matter.

Police Superintendent Mallon, of Dublin, identified Carey's, pistol as one he gave him for protect ion when he.left Dublin. He said Carey was very excitable, desperate, and utterl regardless of human life. The pr"5®" cation closed, and the courtadjo'7ieaO'Donnell was calm and cr^posetl throughout the day's p»«jceedings. Roger A. Pryor frequently consulted, and made several su^stions to the prisoner's counsel-

The report of Secretary Folger for the llgoal year ending JuneSOth

will

show that, the ordinary revenues of the government for the year were as follows Cnstoms,

$59,160,132

total,

$265,408,138,

a surplus revenue of

$5,704,233

$1,777,226.

The dangers of a largfc surplus to the money market will be dwelt upon. There is no method of disbursing this surplus except by paying the debt. This is now injurious to the national banking system. If the payifient of the debt be permitted to go on, even this year as itrhas during the last fiscal year, the existence of many national banks is threatened and a contraction of currency. If the income remains as it is, tbe secretary will call

$50,000,-

000 more bonds before the end of the end of the fiscal year

1855.

More than

half the banks holding threes as security for' circulation would have to replace them with fours at a great premium or retire their circulation.

In reducing revenues the secretary will oppose the abolition of internal revenue taxes. These taxes will yield under the present law $120,000,000, and this is at least

$35,000,000

terest.

more than

the revenue can be decreased. A decrease of the tax on tobacco and spirits does not necessarily argue a small revenue. Therefore the secretary will recommend a still further reduction of custom duties after a proper inquiry shall have developed wnat arteries can best stand the reduction. The secretary will call attention to the suggestions by Comptroller Knox, tha* the rate of issne on national bank notes be increased to ninety per cent, of the market value of the bonds, and that the. fours be refunded in threes, the holders receiving a premium to be a satisfaction for the resultant

Against

The Anderson Witness Manis Undoubtedly Seeking Notoriety.

Yesterday morning Sheriff Moore, of Madison county, and Marshal Coburn, ofAndereon, arrived in the city with Albert S. Helms, a prisoner who has been confined in the Anderson jail on the charge of forgery. Helms is the man who claims Perry Manis made a confession to him. His story is to the «3ect that while Manis was in jail at Anderson he told him that he (Manis) and Jasper Nelson had "put Mrs. Nelson away" on the night of September 7 th that Mrs. Nelson stopped at a house in Indianapolis, supposed to be that of Mrs. Wynings, the "wife".of Chas. St. Clair, and Manis, and Jasper Nelson brought her to this city, and took her to a bouse of ill fame. There tbe killing was done, and the body taken by two men, whom Jasper and Manis hired, and thrown down the ravine, and that they put her clothes in a1 hollow log.

Helms was taken before tbe grand ury yesterday, and his story heard. Later in the day Helms was seen byan Express reporter* "No, sir no, sir I have nothing to say. I swore to the grand jury not to toll what I know," said he. "Won't tell, then?!*

f:*'/

"No." Helms is a heavy-Bet fellow" with short, brown whiskers on his chin. His hair is auburn, his eyes blue.

Marshall Coburn, of Anderson, says he is a bad man, and has a bad reputation. He puts very little confidence in Helms. Helms was placed in jail with Manis, but that individual would not talk to him. It is plain to be seen that the officials here place little credence in his story.

Detective Vandever and the two Anderson officials went over to the place where Mrs. Nelson's remains were found, but nothing was discovered to corroborate Helms' story. Attorney Kelley has affidavits of persons^ as to Jasper's whereabouts on the night of September 7.

Willow Hill robbery, and names among the culprits, prominent business men of Robinson.

Charley St Clair, too well-known in this city, and. now running a saloon in Indiaqgpolis, and Bud Shumaker, a baggageman on the road at the time, were arrested. Sam Cauthorn, a colored youth, claimed that be drove Shumaker and St. Clair to I*ng Point that night. This was undoubtedly false, as Shumaker was proved to be in St Louis on the night. But it was his tram that was attacked. St. Clair was supposed T»y many to be implicated, notwithstan&qg that he was discharged. Shum&ker was around town last night,, looking blue, and feeling bad because he had b-en brought into prominence again.

Detective Vandever was talked with about the matter last night. "I don't care what they say," said h*-., "but they'll never get the right man till they implicate Charley St. Clair. I don't care if you say so, too. 1 don't only believe it, but I know it" plan to rob the train was concocted in this cityjao says a detective. It was overheard, and Charley St. Clair was in it

St Clair, it will be remembered, was indicted by the Grand Jury for conspiracy to wreck a trainfat Macksville, but got out of it in some manner.

it Revived

the Opinions of Detectireo Here.

"Long Point Tragedy" will never be forgotten. Semi-occasionally it bobs up, and then goes down again. The Yandalia road keeps the following reward standing: "$1,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who killed Milo Ames, an engineer on the Vandalia railroad, at Long Point." The story hasagain been revived by a dispatch from Vincennes stating that "the celebrated Long Point murder and robbery on the Yandalia railway, west of Terre Haute, in Illinois, has almost been forgotten by the people of this vicinity, but the remembrance of the affair is about to be recalled by a profound sensation which is now agitating tbe town of Robinson, Illinois. Since the murder there have been other daring deeds accomplished in eastern Illinois by outlaws, the last being the robbery, of some safes at Willow Hill,last winter, in which a large amount ot money was taken. 8hortly after tBe latter event a man named Ifagan made his appearance at a farm near Oblong, Ills., where he obtainod work, at which he continued all summer. He now claims to be a detective, and says that he lias proof sufficient to convict. the parties who igaged in the Long Point murder and

During tliH trial Eliza discovered that the capian would not hold John, and nhfrlnng bee finger at the Justice she said: "Sqnira don't you let that man go and leavH me, I have made up my mind to marry him, and marry him I shall.'* The case will be concluded this morn ing, and the inference is that tbe man will be discharged, notwithstanding the protest of Ebza.

TOM HEENAir:

Bis Relative* and His Wife's Relative* at War.

Tom Heenan's death is stirring np ti strife between the relatives of the de* ceased and those of his wife. Heenan'd relatives think his wife was "too careless," while some of her relatives think she Wasn't careless enough. Therein some talk to the effect that Heenan'st relatives will attempt, to have her indicted for murder. Her relatives were-' busy yesterday trying to find out whati Tom's relatives are up to. The woman is nearly crazy. She has friends who are wealthy and will stand by her. The coroner returned a verdict to th» effect that "the deceased,came to.bin death from an overdose oif morphine administered by his wife with no criminal intent"

A well-known physician stated yesterday that Heenan, in his opinion would have died if. the morphine had not been administered to him. "It was not morphine, but whiskv, that killed him," said he.

THE MARKET BASKET.

The Time of Year for Good Dinners.—What There is in the Market and What it

Costs.

The time of year for good dinners has arrived, The air is bracing, and every one has a good appetite. There are many things in the market, if one will only take time to look through. There never was abetter time for game dinners. Lead off with a brace of prairie chickens at CO cents quail 011 toast at 124 cents, or mallard ducks at 60 cents a pair. Rabbits and squirrels come at 10 and la cents. But, suppose you don't prefer a game dinner. Wei I, there is a wide choice left. Go to a well-stocked butcher andt select rib roast at is.J to 15 cents per pound a sirloin steak at 15 cents a porter house, long 16 cents short, 20 cents round at 12$ cents some boiling meat at8 or 10 cents corned beef at 7 cents tongue at 30, 35 and 50 cents each for fresh, pickled and smoked, respectively or why not a lamb roast at 12jcents phoulders, 10 cents and what's the objection to mutton leg at 12) cents chops 12£ cents shoulders 8 cento some prefer a veal roast at 15, or chops at 15, or cuttlets at 20 and in a free pursuit of happiness no one will stand over yon with a club and prevent yon from buying pork chops at 10 cento steak at 121 shoulder 10: spare ribs 6 cured ham at 16, or sliced at 20.

What is to hinder you from having a fish dinner? They are abundant, and the dealers will offeryou every inducement to buy. Fresh cod fish—it don't smell so "loud" as the dry—is only 12 to 15 cento a pound lobsters, 15 to 18 halibut, 20 haddock, 10 flounders, 10 lake bass, nice ones, 15 rock bass, 8 white bass, 8 or 9 fresh hering, 8 yellow perch, 8 sunfish, scarce, 0c white fish, 12$ sturgeon smoked, 15 lake trout, 12i red snapper, .a good fish, and hard to get 15 California salmon, 35, and scarce. Don't try to eat all the above at once be reasonable.

A good supply of gobblers and gobbleresses were left over, and can be gotten very cheap. Turkey and cranberries never grow Btale. Now, after you haye selected from the above, and to encourage the appetite, you want celery at 5 cents a stalk, or three stalks for 10 cents. Green lettuce is sold at the market house by blue-eyed and blackeyed market girls. Beware of the old ladies. One of them ha& a stuffed club laid away for a reporter, and as there area good many handsome young men around town, there might be a bad mistake made. There are also green onions (God forbid), two bunches for 5 cento parsnips at 15 cents oyster plants, three bunches for 10 cents green spinach, 25 cento a peck. The solid vegetables, such as Irish potatoes, 15 to 20 per peck sweet potatoes, 20 to"25 per peck Jerseys, 60 rants apples, $1 per bushel cabbage, 10 to

The Bnrglar and Thief Abroad. About 1 o'clock yesterday morning John T. "Staff, of Chestnut street, had occasion to get up to administer some medicine to a sick child, and as be entered the dining room he alarmed a burglar, who had gained an entrance into tbe house, and was in the aot of ransacking the premises. Soon as discovered, the thief made a break for the door, and escaped without any booty.

Two overcoats were stolen from an Adams Express car, which was stand* ing on aside track, at the depot, yesterday.

Slagged.

A young man living west of Macksville, on the hills, went home Thursday night about one o'clock, covered with blood. He said he was walking along the grade, when he waa struck from behind. He knew no more for nearly an hour, when he recovered consciousness while lying on the side of the grade." He nad no money with him. Blantz should consider himself lucky that he escaped more serious treatment.

Literary Exercises

The literary exercises at the Seventh Street Baptist church, last night, were conducted by Mr. J. H. Mitchell. Lesson: "History of Phoenicia," and quotations from well-known authors.

Eggs are 35 cento per dozen, and this is good "laying weather," too. Yon can top off on oranges, at 50 cento. Nuts are plenty and cheap. If the honest housewife can't make a dinner from the above, she had better resign.
