DORSEY’S EYIDKNCK CLOSED she Witness and Mr. Merrick Fire a Few Shots at Each Other. Dorsey Energetically Fails to Remember Anything About the Matters in Hauri, ami Steps Down. Washington, April 3.—The cross-examina-tion of Dorsey continued to-day. He said Bosler took away the book referred to yesterday. to show to Bliss. An attempt was made to show that the complexity of the accounts necessitate the keeping of books by Rerdell, but the witness strenuously maintained that no such books had been kept, and that agents and employes had been paid directly upon the rendition of their accounts. Witness did not know how long John Dorsey had been employed. He had been paid by witness or by Rerdell. Did not know' who kept his accounts. It made no difference for the money came out of his (witness’) pocket. Witness explained that the check for $75,000 drawn in favor of Rerdell had been given to the latter when witness was about to leave the city, wanted money, and had no time to go to the bank. Rerdell returned with the money, and it was placed in witness’ valise. Mr. Merrick asked if that was not an unusual proceeding for a capitalist to draw a check for so large a sum to the order of his clerk instead of drawing it to his own order und indorsing it. Witness answered that it might have been an unusual proceeding for a capitalist, but lie did not happen to be one. He regarded it as the most natural thing in the world. He wanted the money and sent for it. John Dorsey and Peck had been paid SIO,OOO each. Witness was quite certain Rerdell asked him to write out the form of affidavit he swore to. It was intended chiefly to protect Bosler, for there was nothing in it concerning witness. In regard to the letters to Miss Spin gem an, which Rerdell said had been used to threaten him while in jail, witness said he knew the woman and had recommended her for a position in the Treasury Department in 1381; left the recommenda-

tion with Rerdell when he (witness) went awav, and Rerdell secured the appointment. Rerdell wrote her a number of very vicious letters, which she copied and transmitted to witness in New Mexico. Witness forwarded them to Ingersoli. The letters had been shown to Rerdell while he was in jail only for his information. Someone had suggested that they be published, and he told Rerdell that, and added that he would destroy them to avoid any possible trouble. He was not threatened at all. Perhaps the letters had been shown Rerdell before that occurrence. Witness had seen General Garfield, in the presence of Colonel Ingersoli, and had gone to New York, on his way West, with no intention of returning. Possibly Bosler had been requested to see Rerdell. Such a thing was perfectly natural. Kerens told witness about RerdeiPs visits to James and MacVeagh. and witness at first refused to believe it until lie came to Washington, in the latter part of that week, and the statement was then affirmed. He regarded the affidavit then made by Rerdell as of importance, because he knew he would do anything on earth he could do to injure him (witness) by perjury, forgery, or subornation of perjury. Mr. Merrick inquired why he had retained such a man in his employ. 9 Witness answered that in the first place he did not know that Rerdell was such a man, and second because nobody could protect himself against treachery. When he left New York, witness had no definite idea of the means he should adopt for his protection; did not believe he prepared any part of Rerdell’s retracting affidavit; could not remember whether or not he had interpolated any portion. He was asked how that affidavit came to be directed to the President of the United States. The witness wished to confer with counsel, but the court refused the request. He then said the affidavit had been submitted to Colonel Ingersoli. and by his direction addressed to the President; believed Rerdell wrote the words “Mr. President.” Did not recollect that he (witness) wrote the words. Probably the affidavit had been rewritten. If he (witness) had written it better English would have been used. Mr. Merrick endeavored to secure an admission that witness had written orsuggested any portion of an affidavit, but he steadily refused to make any positive statement about what had occurred four years ago. It was possible he had suggested changes. Mr. Merrick—Anything is possible. The Witness—Even this trial. Mr. Merrick—You may forget it in a little while. A remark b\ Mr. Merrick led the witness to say: ‘‘You seem to question my testimony?’’ Mr. Merrick—No; I am trying to refresh your bad recollection. The Witness—Oh, my memory is first-rate. Mr. Merrick—You say that after failing to remember whether you directed that affidavit to the President? Answer—Mr. Merrick, give me a brief you used before the Supreme Court four years ago, and let me question you about every word and line of it. Mr. Merrick —I would remember every word 1 used on such a serious matter. The Witness—That would show that you were a remarkable man. He was asked if he had not sought to use the affidavit to secure the removal of James and MacVeagh, charging them with burglary and other heinous oilenses in seeking to procure his ( Dorsey's) books and papers to be stolen. Witness rather defiantly declared lie had done everything lie could to secure their removal; that the charges in the affidavits were true; and that Governor Foster, of Ohio, had told the President substantially the same thing, and had said those officers ought to he removed. Witness’s opinion was that if the President had lived a week longer he would have followed that advice. He indignantly repelled the assumption that lie had sought protection from James and MacVeagh, asking if counsel believed that a pismire could hurt an elephant. Mr. Merrick —Which is the pismire and which is the elephant? Answer —I will leave that to popular opinion. Witness said if he had not tried in every possible way to have James and MacVeagh removed his “tongue had not known its cunning.” The court refused to admit several telegrams offered in evidence, and thereupon Mr. Merrick announced that his cross-exam-ination was closed. Mr. Ingersoli had expected the cross-ex-amination to continue a week or two longer, and asked an adjournment, which the court refused. Witness consulted with his counsel for a few momenta, when Mr. Ingersoli .dated that he had no further question to ask Dorsey, and having no witness to examine, icrewed his request for adjournment, and met with success, the court remarking that there seemed to be a conspiracy on foot to /td’ourn court, and it must succumb. Note.—The interview referred to by Dorm*v, between President Garfield, Ingersoli find himself, took place at the White House,

and Dorsey then placed in the hands of the President u statement for use of MacVeagh, covering the whole ground of his (Dorsey’s) connection with mail contracts. The story wo3 published in the shape of a statement from Dorsey, Dec. 2, 1882. the billiard tournament. Morris Wins the First Game, and Sbaefer Gets His Work in at Night. Chicago, April 3.—ln the afternoon game of the Brunswick and Balke tournament,Dion and Morris were the contestants. The former was the favorite at odds of ten to six. Morris started off in much the best style, and soon bad a lead of over 100. He reached 237 in the eighteenth inning, with a run of 65; Dion’s score. 97. In the thirty-first inning Morris made 101, the largest run of his record, which brought his total to 550, against 220 for Dion. Joe followed with his best run for the day, 65, in which he did some good playing for the first time, but was too far behind to make success possible, and Morris closed it. SCORE.

In the evening game, between Schaefer and Daly, the former was the favorite at odds of 100 to 30. The audience was a large one for election night. Daly showed the most speed at the start. In the tenth inning he had made thirty-eight and had a favorate position, when he fouled by brushing a piece of chalk off the rail against one of the balls. Schaefer profited little by the circumstance and in his eleventh inning Daly made sixty-one which gave him a total of 162. Schaefer having 135. Maurice clinched his advantage by making 47 in his twelfth, so that he held Schaefer 209 to 136. Schaefer took the lead in the thirteenth with the handsome run of 151, chiefly made by nursing near the cushion. His next important run was 159, in the nineteenth inning, when by the handsomestond most varied of plays he counted on all parts of the table, finally missing an easy onecushion carom through carelessness. His concluding run of 91 was full of clever plav. Score—Schaefer—3l. 8. 10, 0, 20. 34, 19, 1,'2 0. 12, 1. 151. 3, 51, 0. 3, 159. 0,6, 91—600. Average. 27 6-22; higest run, 159.

Convention to Select Governor Stephens* Successor. Augusta, April 3.—The Democratic convention to nominate a candidate for Governor, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Governor Stephens, meets at Atlanta on Tuesday next. County meetings were held generally to-day, to select delegates. James S. Boynton, president of the Senate and acting Governor, and A. O. Bacon, arc the prominent candidates. The supporters of each claim to have the largest number of instructed delegates. H. B. McDaniel, Phil Cook and others will have a following in the convention. The contest promises to be exciting, and not tree from local feeling. While a large number of .counties have instructed for the prominent candidates, it is thought neither will have sufficient to nominate under the majority rule, as a number of counties have sent delegates uninstructed. Cincinnati’s Bloodthirsty Mayor. Cincinnati, 0., April 3.—A sensation was created in the rooms of the Duckworth (Democratic) Club this morning by an effort of Mayor Means to shoot John Brady, county jailer. Both are members of the club, and had spent the night at the rooms hearing election returns. Early this morning the mayor, who had been drinking, made threats of going to insult Brudv. who was up stairs. Means went up stairs and his friends got Brady down stairs. Means followed, when several men seized him, but he finally drew a revolver. Brady seeing this, drew his, ana demanded that Menus be taken away. This was done and bloodshed prevented. Brady and Means have not been on good terms for two years.

Singular Cause for a Damage Stilt. Boston, April 3.—Suit has been begun to recover $5,000 damages from Rev. John H. Fleming and Archbishop Williams, of this diocese, brought by the parents of Lizzie Gannon. In 1879 the girl was a child of thirteen, and was attacked with a nervous disorder which had a peculiar effect upon her mental condition. She became greatly infatuated with some cut in paper images, which she said were angels sent by her brother who was dead. Father Fleming was sent for, and took the images and kept them, refusing to return them. The girl fell into such a paroxysm that the physicians thought they should be returned to her to enanle her to recover or keep alive, but neither Father Fleming nor the Archbishop would consent. The Women and Pennsylvania Uuiverslty. Philadelphia, April 3. —At a meeting of the trustees of tlie Pennsylvania University to-day. a committee report was presented setting forth a plan for the education of women by which they will receive the same course of instruction as young men, but at a different time and place. All, however, will receive the degrees on the same terms. The report will be acted upon at tlie next meeting of the board. Killed in a Prize Fight. Pittsburg, April 3.—A Dubois, Pa., special says: “In a prize fight here, last evening, between Mike McLaughlin and Martin Linksy, a miner, six rounds were fought.

Summing Up the Work Accomplished By the Legislature. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Spring field, April 3.—The Legislature being now in vacation, on account of the spring elections, to resume work again Wednesday, this is a good time to sum up the work of three-months* legislation. There have been 1,053 bills introduced in both houses, and of these 222 have never been seen since they were referred to committees. Os the fortyfive bills which have successfully run the gauntlet of the Senate, four have got through the House unchanged, and two of these still await the Governor’s signature—namely, the Peoria bridge bill and the bill to reimburse Mound City for expenditures in improving and strengthening the levees at that place. The other two, both signed, are: first, one for the better regulation and security of school funds loaned out, and, second, one appropriating $5,000 for the relief of Roscclare, Hardin county, on account of losses by the Ohio river floods. Twenty-one House bills have reached the Senate, and six of these have gone to the Governor for his signature. They are as follows: The bill providing for the incidental expenses of the Legislature; the bill amending the act to authorize cities, towns and villages to establish and maintain free public libraries; the bill for the relief of the families of coal-miners at Braidwood ($10,000) and Coulterville ($2,000); the bill appropriating $50,000 for the relief of the inhabitants of Shawneetown and Gallatin county; the bill for better defining the law relative to the duties of county treasurers, and the bill to extend the jurisdiction of county courts and to regulate the practice in them. All these have received the Governor’s signature except the last named. Os the bills yet remaining in the House there are over fifty on first reading and more than 150 on second reading, while nearly 200 are still in the hands of committees. Tlmre are 349 Senate bills in the different stages of passage or defeat, less than a dozen of which have reached a third reading; forty-six are on the order of second reading and a small number on first reading, a heavy batch being still in committees' hands. The weight of committee work has already been done and there are symptoms of a disposition to do more work in the sessions than heretofore. The regular hour for meeting has been changed from 10 a. m. to 9:30, and afternoon sessions will be held regularly after this week.

A Switchman Loses a Leg. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Mattoon, April 3.—To-day noon, John Barbour, a switchman in the yards of the Indianapolis and St. Louis Railway company at this place, fell between two coal cars and bad one leg severed from his body. Brief Mention. Miss FTonsa, a young lady at Pari", is exciting much wonder and furiosity by tier trance-like sleeps, in which she claims that she visits heaven. She lias been affected in tills way since last September, and dnring her trances site converses readily in several languages. A dispatch from Virginia, 111., says that Ron. L. Chandler, a lawyer of high social and business standing, formerly a member of the Iliki'b* Legislature, has defaulted in the sum of SO,OOO. Losers are. mosily relatives. Chandler has gone East, ostensibly to get money to settle hD/lebrs, but it is generally believed he will never return. Gambling is said to be tlie cause of the trouble. Mrs. McNeill, wifo of Samuel MoNeal,of Leroy, eloped on Saturday evening last with John Barr, .ir , a young man of that place. Mrs. McNeal was about * wenty-five years of age, and was rather good looking, while Barr was about twenty years old, and was rough and ungainly in appearance, and boro the reputation of being one of the diniest, ugliest and most quarrelsome characters iu the neighborhood. INDIANA. Bishop Foehau’s Successor. Lafayette Courier. Rev. Father Joseph, of St. Mary’s Church, was surprised last night by the receipt of a telegram from Bishop Dwenger, of Fort Wayne, announcing that the College of Cardinals at Rome had appointed him bishop of the diocese of Nashville, Tenn. This wa3 unwelcome news to Father Joseph, who has become very much attached to the members of his congregation, and to whom he has become very much endeared by the faithful and unscrupulous discharge of his duty, his unassuming and kindly disposition and his many qualities of head and heart. lie has no desi r e to assume the honors thrust upon him, and will return the bull containing his appointment, together with his reasons why he should not be removed from his present charge. It is hardly likely, however, that the college will reconsider tneir decision which they have been two years arriving at, three names having been sent from the archbishopric at Cincinnati for their consideration. His appointment is to fill the vacancy occasioned by the appointment of Bishop Feehan archbishop of Chicago. As much us the friends of Father Joseph, whose names are legion, will grieve to lose him, we fear they must makeup their minds to do so. and as he bids them for the last time good bye he shall have just reason to feel that he will not be forgotten or his labor lost. He He has endeared himself to all who have come within his wholesome influence, and his memory shall be in their hearts as pearls set in a casket. Real Estate Sale. Special to the Imllau&polis Journal. Marion, April 3.—The Spencer House was sold, to-day, for $27,000, to Mrs. Elizabeth Winchell. The property belongo to the estate of Eleanor L.

A number of Fort Wayne capitalists are said to be considering the advisability of purchasing 50,000 acres of heavily timbered land on the Sr. Francis river, Arkansas. It is the property of a wealthy estate, aud Is offered ut 70 cents au acre. At Monpelier, Monday, Seley Dully, who was employed in a sawmill, had been oiling some machinery, and was in the act of setting the oil-can down on a table, reaching across a buzzsaw, which caught his mitten and jerked Ins hand into the 6:i\v, almost severing the hand from the arm.

Killed in a St. Louis Bagnio. St. I,oris, April 3.—Just before 2 o’clock this morning a bloody tragedy was enacted at the house of Mrs. Theresa Prettyruan, 1,125 Pine street. Albert or Burt Wing shot and killed Joe Glenn, a clerk in a dry goods store, in the presence of Essie Davis, a woman of the town. Wing and the woman came here a short time ago from Greenville, Ky., and Davis became an inmate of the house of Mattie Roberts. Here she made the acquaintance of Glenn. The latter yesterday engaged rooms at Prettyman’s, and late in the evening Glenn and Davis went there. Wing had become jealous of Glenn, who divided the woman’s affections with him, and went to the house and. found them together. He upbraided Glenn for his treachery, and suddenly pulled a revolver* and shot him twice in the head, killing him almost instantly, Wing rushed from the house, but was soon arrested. The Davis woman was also lodged in the calaboose. Wing claims that the shooting was done in self-defense; that Glenn drew the revolver; that a struggle for its possession ensued; that he secured it and fired. But the woman says that Wing shot Glenn deliberately. The whole party lived at Owensboro, Ky. The real name of the woman is said to be Mary Eaves. Albert Wing is a younger brother of Hon. E. Runisey Wing, who was United States minister to Ecuador under Grant s administration.

TIIE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. Tho Bnmmer Element Sweep Chicago by Over 10,000 Majority. But Three Republicans Elected on the City Ticket in Cincinnati—Other Places Gone to the D—emocruts. RETURNS FROM CHICAGO. Ilarrison Re-Elected by a Heavy Majority, ivitli More to Come. Chicago, April 3.—ln the election here today for city and township officers and members of the city council there were but two general city tickets—one the straight Democratic, beaded by Carter IT, Harrison, the present incumbent, for mayor, and the other by Judge Eugene Cary, joint candidate of the Republicans and independent citizens on a platform of high license for saloons and stringent enforcement of the laws against the criminal classes. The campaign was characterized by an unusual amount of bitter personality. The day was bright and pleasant, and a very large vote was polled. By 9 o’clock it became evident that the entire Democratic city ticket would be elected, unless there was an unusual amount of scratching. The majority for Harrison grew with every return almost. At this hour (11:15) the returns from 116 precincts—over three-quarters of the city—give Harrison 9,238 majority. Returns on the other officers are very incomplete, and coming in slowly. ELSEWHERE. Cincinnati. Cincinnati. April 3.—Unofficial returns from all but cue precinct of the city show that the Democrats have elected the mayor, two judges of the superior court, member of the board of public worts, treasurer, city solicitor, police court judge, and three members of the school board, by majorities ranging front 100 to 4,200. The Republicans have elected the comptroller, prosecuting attorney of the police court, director of the city infirmary, witarfmaster, and two members of the board of education, by majorities ranging front 200 to 2.900. The precincts to hear from may defeat Peck, Democrat, for judge of the superior court, and Springmeir, Democrat, for tlie board of public works. To-night the newspapers have made two independent canvasses of the returns, making material changes in the result as given earlier. They do not agree as to majorities, but unite in showing hut three Republicans elected, namely, Eshelby, comptroller; Caldwell, prosecuting attorney of the Police Court, and Moore, wharf register. The common council, on joint ballot, will stand: Democrats. 42; Republicans, 38- The official returns will he necessary to show the majorities of the officers elected. 11:30 p. m.—One hundred and thirty-seven precincts out of 149 in the city, give* Harrison 41.208; Carv, 30.508. 12:30 a. m.—The Republicans concede the election of the entire Democratic city ticket by G.OOO to 10.000 majority; the Democrats claim 12,000 to 14,000. This is a decided Democratic gain compared with tlie election last fall, when it was practically a tie, the res lilts depending on the personal popularity of the candidates. Two years ago Harrison was elected mayor by 7,200 majority. The ticket elected to-day is as follows: Carter 11. Harrison, mayor; John M. Dumpliy, city treasurer; Julius S. Grinnell, city attorney; John G. Newmeister, city clerk. The council will be overwhelmingly Democratic. Os eighteen old members who hold o7er thirteen are Democrats.

Detroit. Detroit, April 3.—Returns come in slow and scattering. The Democrats claim to have carried both supreme judges—Champlin by 8.000 to 10.000, and Sherwood by 2,000 to 4.000. The Republicans refuse to concede the latter claim, and await fuller returns. Both Fusion regents are probably elected. The latest returns from Monday’s election do not change the result as telegraphed last night. About one-third of the vote has been heard from. The indications still are that Champlain, Democrat, and O’Brien, Republican, are elected judges of the Supreme Court. The majorities of neither is likely to be large. Toledo. Toledo, April 3.—Tiie Republicans elect the mayor by eighty-five; police clerk by seventy majority. The Democrats elect solicitor of the Police Court, police prosecutor, trustees of the water-works a:id cemetery, three police commissioners, four judges’ of the peace, ami four constables, by majorities ranging from 200 to 1.000. The* board of education stands—Republicans two, Democrats six; police board—Republicans one, Democrats four; the Council, on joint ballot, has a Democratic majority of two. Denver, Col. Denver, Col., April B.—lncomplete returns indicate that ex-Governor John L. Routt is elected mayor, together with the whole Republican city ticket, with the probable exception of the city attorney. Routt was compelled to accept the nomination as the only man who could unite the Republican faction and beat both tlie oppositions. He received a majority over all. St. Louis.

Oath, in Cincinnati Kuquirer. n An Englishman said to me recently—a ntan who had been many years in our country, and was pretty well satisfied here from his worldly success and democratic turn of mind: “Did you see about tb© death of John Brown?” “You mean John Brown of Harper’s Ferry?” “Oh, no; I mean the Queen’s chief groom and companion.” “Oh!” said I, “is he dead? What killed him?” "Want of opposition, I think. He hud been having his way ever since the death of the Prince Consort, and continued healthy for some years because he had some worlds left to conqnor. But after a while he bullied all the courtiers out. was the next will to tho Queen in tlie royal household, and then he seemed to get gangrened and sicken because be had no more rivals.” “What is the lesson of the death of John , Brown?” “The American John Brown has left an enormous lesson. He is as big a man in history as Spartacus, or Rienzi, or. Judas Maccabeus. He never was in a royal court, and hardly ever in a rich man's house. But he stored away an enormous thought like mental dynamite, and carried it around in his breast till he found the place to explode it, and the echoes of the explosion are heard yet along the whole line of the Appalachian range. He was the simplest kind of man. He had read a few books, the Bible chiefly, had been once to Europe, probably going over in the steerage of a ship, and looked into military questions in a queer way somewhat; but in thd main lie was a poor tanner and wool-buyer, and rather a failure in both. Yet he wrote his name among the very highest in the 1 world as a man of a great original act, honest and broad in its inception, bold in its execution, totally ineffective in immediate results, but in its secondary results like tho execution of Jesus —an episode of which the world will never cease to read with admiration, You cannot compare John Brown’s act with that of Joan of Arc, for instance — the great episodical heroine of France. She had the King at her side when she rode to battle. .Brown had all the Governors and the President and almost his own family against him. He did not strike a merely patriotic blow to redeem bis country, but to give their rights to the lowest of mankind. John Brown, of Windsor Castle, was a lackey all his days, and yet he is more in the line of ambition of some of the richest men ip America than John Brown of Harper’s Fern*.” “You are satirical,” said I. “Oh, no. The Scottish John Brown was nl ways at the head of society. He was with his sovereign and her family when nobody ' else could get in. He had nothing to do with the newspapers, and would notgfvn J an item away about the court. The Queen|J wrote about him in her books. He went picnicking with the Queen. Now, don’t youtt suppose that on Fifth avenue, New York! there are 1,000 persons who would lYkd,*;, have been in John Brown’s boots, and a lackey to some princess or person of trj tie? Yet not one oh that avenue would hayL stood at the side of John Brown in any iiis trials, magnificent as they were. I meat J John Brown, of Harper’s Ferry.” “What do you infer from this singular an f ti thesis?” “Why, I infer that the respectable side o ' life, ns it calls itself in tlie United States, i going to be forever destined to disappoint ment. The doctrinaires, the respecters oil persons, the social Pharisees, those who cal themselves the better element of the Repnt / lican party, and the old regime of the Demo ? cratic party, are merely the Scottish Join Browns, content to be classed up somewheru near the hollow effigy of a Queen, while thj great characters who move the age and giv.human nature pyramids to reckon bv com** out of the simplest class, are often men wh ■% have no scientific accuracy, who are not p, $ litical economists, and who do not live o| their opinions instead of their deeds. Tl‘-s Democratic heroes will always belong to tb common-nasal, horny type of John Brew of Harper’s Ferrv, instead of the type ’ j John Brown of Windsor Castle.” ‘ f
