Aboat thre mouths slaee , they had a dUacalty, which was compromlaad ta tb ooaris bete by Corgaa giving a peso bead, aad aHowiag Miller ta laaaala apoa the farm aatll tkt axplratloa of hla leas, October I. Slact tbat tias tbt rtles have not beta friendly, and Miller moved of tb pine mat Monday. Oa Tuesday be went back to get his share of aa oat crop tbat had been grown oa tb farm, mktag four wagon, witk necessary hands. Below to given a synopsis of tb evidence of W. B. -Jones, aa eye-witness, before tb coroner's jnry at Tamaroa yesterday mornings "My name la W. S. Jones; age, thirtysix j ears; live three miles east of Tamaroa. Miller name ta aty boos this morning, aad asked mt to go and help him baal hid share of tbt oat crop off Corgas's farm. I we at aad took a hand with sat. There wort foar wagons with two am to each wagon. Whoa wt arrived at tbe BJd two of tb party got oat aad let tbe fence dowa, aad Miltar started to drive ia. I hallooed to him that be had better tell Corgan be had come to divide tbt oats. Jast tbta ht looked ap and as id: 'Yonder they corn, new all of them with pitchforks!' By this time Corgaa bad got within aboat on hundred yards of Miller, and said: 'Get oat of here, yon thief. Yoa eom here to steal serais. Yoa get oat, or I'll pat yoa oat.' Miller had, aa yet, aid nothing to Corgaa, who had arrived at the wagon by this time. Miller said: I am now ready to divide those oats.' Corgaa said: 'I am not ready to divide them, aad won't divide them.' At this time he was near the horses' beads, and earn around to tbt side of tb wagon and made at Miller with the fork, trying to get in the wagon, which be Anally did. About this time John Corgan, Jr., aged aboat eighteen yean, came op, and made at Miller with a fork. Corgaa, Br., waa still la the wagon, and atriklag at Millar with a pitchfork, and Mllkr was warding of tbe blows with one hand and holding: his team with the other, aad ftaally hit Corgan, knocking him oat of the wagon. Corgan rose aad grabbed tb fork and started for him. trying to stick bMB With the fork. Miller then draw hla pistol and shot. Mr. Corgsii fell i his son's arms and expired in a few mlaates. Miller turned to Mr. Corgan's sons, two of whom were present, and said: Boys, yoa see what I have had to do.' He then turned his, teem and drove out of the field and to iowb, nocompwniea oy aw nrubntr, n m. Miller. The shooting occurred oa tac form known as the Pyte place, three milt east of Tamaroa." THK STORY COXROBOKATRB. The above evidence waa corroborated: ta all the main facts by most of the witat. The pistol used waa a small Mcaliber, ratty concern, that did not look tthe it won Id more than make a noise. Tbt ball entered the body between the rstand second rib of tbt right aide, foar Inches from the center of the sternum, ve inches above tbe right nipple aad two inches below tbt collar boat, passed In aa obMqae dlreettoa to the left id, catting either the mala artery ot going through the heart. Dr. Ward probed the woand, bat coald not find the ball. Tbe bemorrkagt we internal, tseapiug through the asouth. Corgaa lived in Tamaroa, and with hla two soap, John, Jr., and Freak was oat on the farm barveetinghay. H was a large, line-looking man, and one who was very positive in all his opinions, a very strong friend, but bad no as for kis enemies. He had been a resident of this eoanty for many years, aad waa well known and respected. L After the shooting Miller earn to Tamaroa aad gave himself ap to 'Sqalr Wllkraghby, who turned him over to Coaatable Craln, and he was broaght hei and placed in tail. He is a man of ordinary appearance and Intelligence, com of a highly respected family, aged twenty-fonr years, and has been married to Mr. Corgan's daughter for three years. He appears to feel very badly about the matter and regret It very mack. II says tbat tt wee a matter of Ufa aad death with him. Coroner Parmer selected a tary yesterday aft noon, and praueeded to Investigate tb matter. There were eleven witnesses to the tragedy, two of whom were brothers to Miller, and two aonn of tbc deceased. At the time of hi death Mr. Corgan was naagid la chandtaisg la Tamaroa.

It turiM sat mow that bar anm iroa tka aasmioa roll under tba law already, aad kas boon there siaoe Fsbruary of this year, her pension dating from November of last year; so that tka bill asanas to kitrs beta drafted aad passed ia shear ignorance of tba facts of the widow's ease. To eead up sunk a bill for the President's signaturs is, af course, to say ike bast, disrespectful. Another mt these bill pats on tba peattoa. roll tb widow of a Commodore la ta Bvy who died of keartdtaaasa tea years after the war, sad her application had already been rejected by the Pension Bureau bocause of bar failure to show that tba disease of whiok her husband died had any connection with tb war. Another gives a soldier already in receipt of a pension, B9.000 of back pension, for a Eeriod of fifteen years, during which e had made no elaira oa" account af incapacity on account of disease, aad removes th limit of time fixed by tba law of 1879, or ia other words repeals it for the benefit of this one man. Another gives a widow a pension on account of iha death of her husband from inflammation of tba stomach ton years after the war, and disregards the fact that her application is pending before the bureau. Another provides for the erection of United States buildings at a cost of 9100,000, at Sioux City, In., not because tbe business of the Government at that point calls for them, bat because the population is growing rapidly, and there is already a considerable number of other buildings in the town. Another orders a "substantial and commodious public building, with fire-proof vaults, " at a oost of $100,000, with an open space around it to Sroteet it from adjacent fires, which i to provide aoeommodatiou for the post-office, aad internal revenue oftioe aad pension office, at Zanesvill, O., though the only Federal orftos in the place ia tb post-ofRoe. What gives thee bills importance is not so much the amount of money they rote away, as the careless, reckless spirit in whiok they are concocted aad passed. On this point the President, in vetoing one of them, oboervas very forcibly: "la speaking of tbe prouiletueua ana fitaSvtsed grants or pensions whloh have lately been presented to me for approval, I have seekeii of their 'apparent 0onreisal saaotte' in leootaltfcm ot toe 1 not that a large proportion ef these Mile have never beon aabtattted to a majorltr of either branch of OnnaiMs. but are the results of nominal sessions bet for the express Eurseee of their ooneiderstie aad attended riMMll mirMM-ftr of Um MMtiibers of the reajteettve bouses of the legleiattvs omasa of Thus. Mconslderlng these Mils, I have net felt that I was aided by tee detiseraie judgment or the Coarrese; and when I have deemed It my duty to disapprove manr of the mim MtMUd. I nave hardly resented my action a a dissect from the eonoluslone of tbe people'! rspreesatotlVfe." In other words, a large body of men, who are paid high salaries for attendin r ta the public business at Washing ton, but who have not during the past session furnished the country with a single piece of useful legislation, or sue instructive debate, allow schemers of all sorts to get their formal sanction for appropriations of the public money without their knowing it The most charitable conclusion one can reach about these bills is that a considerable proportion of the members of both bouess are too idle and laay to watch the business which passes through their hands under their own rates of procedure. ., This, considered as a state of mind. Is bad enough; but there is another aspect of tbe ease, equally serious, whiok the President also touches on when he ays in vetoing tb widow Bt Kraft's pension bill: "Bverr relaxation of prinelpfe Is tbe treat Sogef pensions iavltee aapHeaUose without mencasHti sooouiweeiaeee was jmr wi ttrs honest men to be some Utsaonest. Tat ie the dentorallslng tesson taunht the peoelt, tbat a against the puMte treasury the ntest qaisUenable expedfsaM are allowable." That is to say, not on such pension can bt) granted without diffusing through a considerable portion ef the community the feeling that there is plenty of money in the treasury for almost any purpose, aad that almost any mode of getting it out is allowable. What Congressmen think so lightly of, their constituents do not long eontiaue to regard as vary serious, and from getting money to which you have n claim, out of the treasury, under the forms of law, to downright fraud am the treasury is a Tory short step. In fact, the 'poison of corruption lurks in the whom business, and President CmToland has dona the oouatry no greater servioe than reprobattag it ta bard words. C T. Peri.

The department can take ad vantags of the experience of England in avoiding ths blunders wnicit nave wrourht suoh mischief in her navy and robbed some of her most vaunted ships of their prestige. The Secretary of the Navy has made the initiatory move to adopt a scheme which has proved of inestimable value to tits British admiralty, to have a list and description of merchant steamers prepared for the Winia -f nian f lit IvA ra Viil-ilail mm available in case of emergenuy, to serve as auxilliary cruissrs or transports. It is a plan that is in operation with the great Powers, of Europe, and must work to advantage in ease of war. If Congress will only do its duty toward the Navy Department, there will be no delay in repairing the blunders and rascalities 4nt former years. JJesHjf Jrgus. DEMOCRATIC DRIFT.

If there really is any necessity, now when twenty war of peace hive supervened, for the special pension legislation which the Republican organs are upholding against the Presidential veto, it can only be because the Republican party in Congress has shamefully neglected its duty to the soldiers. From this proposition there is no escaje. Iklroit Free Freu. t The President gives tkt Senate and House a reminder nearly every day that they are losing sight of the laws. This leeeon which occasional vetoes give must have a beneficial effect upon legislation after awhile. For the first time in years titer is a judicial mind in the White House which calls a halt to even Senators who have prilled themselves on their legal knowledge while voting for uaconstitutional bills.

Payne, a member of that body. There were upon that committee Ire Republicans and. four Democrats. Upon both sides they were the men of highest repute in their respective partis, the cream of the cream, as to ability, personal integrity, party standing and life-long experience in public servioe. Of these nine men, such a are above described, seven declared upon their solemn oaths that ths eherges against Senator ravne were unworthy of sideration. Cicinmii Emtmrtr. General Black's The reoord of General Black and that of his predecessor in the Pension Omee are matters of comparison and contrast, on whtoh no judicious Repub lican organ will needlessly concentrate public attention. General Black went into ofiloe ns head of the Pension Bureau If arch 17, 1186. His record as n Union soldier is too wsil-k sown tensed rehearsal her. His appointment waa everywhere recognised as oner eminently fit to be made. Entering upon, his duties, what was the state of aft airs which he found as to the ofneeheidera under him?

It must have been the sparrows tkat did it all, for there are hardly aay other birds left near ths city. In places where once the robins jumped about upon the vernal grans, the eat bird called from every bush and the wood -thrush and the orioles1 voice could bt often beard, none of the old friends can now be found except at long intervals. They are gone, and some people say it is the sparrows who hays driren them away, by eating up ,all the food, by worrying them and dos troy in r their nests and younr ones. This may be true, at least in part, but it it not equally probable that thest native birds, like the native wild animals, would have vanished anyway without the sparrows1 aid?
