In the case of Maud Lewis, on trial for the murder of State Senator Peter Morrissey, the state placed Win. Smith, a reporter, on the stand to prove that the Lewis woman said she killed Morrissey. It developed, however, that Beporter Smith had aked her to make a statement that Morrissey had uttered a word or two after he was shot, tending to show that he was sensible at the time of his death. Morrissey was a t'athol.c.andSt. Louis priests hud refused lo officiate at the funeral, on the ground that Mutrissey had died in his sins. Beporter Smith wanted to secure uu admission from the woman that Morrissey hud cried out: "O! My God,' and then he would so tell tho priest, who would then otliciate at the funeral. She agreed to do so, provided the family of Morrissey and the police would not use tlie statement against her at the trial. The Lewis woman was then plaeed on the stand aud said that Smith and others endeavored to induced her to make atlidavit that Morrissey had called on God, and she said she was willing to do so if they would not use the affidavit against her. This scheme, however, fell through. "Then you were willing to swear to a lie?" one of the attorneys for the state asked. "Yes," she cried dramatically, rising to her feet, "I was willing to swear to a lie, to give Peter Morrissey a Christian burial, and 1 am willing now to do anything to accommodate his famlly."

The events of the week are promi.sing in nature, though thu speculative markets are not entirely encouraging. The tfn-'ia advance in cotton had arrested exports aiid so derangud exchanges that shipments of gold were for a time apprehended, hut the break in the market indicates that the natural movement of the product may soon be restored. The week has brought a little further decline in iron and steel products, in hides aud leather, and u more yielding tone In boots and shoes. Wheat tloes not go out freely, und the attempt to advance prices on Monday was followed by an immediate decline. The Atlantic exports, Hour included, have Wen in tho past three weeks 4,. 5s", 455 bushels, against 111 last year, Some of the railroads report large gains in earnings, but on the uu returns are still 0.7 per cent, smullet than in in ltQl, though 4.Ü larger than last year.

Boston, OcL 19. In her official trial trip between Cape Ann and Itoone island, a distance of thirty-one knots, the battleship Indiana made aa average of 15.01 knots for four hourx. This is 01-100 knots above tlie speed required by the government, aud as there was a premium offered of 5'5,OOC for every quarter knot over fifteen, the Cramps will receive S50.000 as a bonus in excess of the contract price offered. The very satisfactory speed, developed bj the Indiana is secondary to the wonderful way in which the machinery worked. It was a perfect day for a trial trip. The atmosphere was brilliantly clear, nnd the breeze that was blowing only had weight enoug-li to crest the sea with little wliiteeaps. At 10 o'clock the Indiana approached the starting line, and at 10:0.'.: I.".1, she was off. The run to Boone island was made against the tide and consumed two hours, two minutes and seven seconds, the ship passing the last stake boat at l'J:05. The average speed fox the thirty-one knots was at the rate ol 15:.'4 knots per hour. The speed tc Boone Island was disappointing-, baton the way back was noticeably greater. It was ü:.'10:;l when the trial was over. The engineer officers of the trial board were surprised at the wonderful performance of the engines. Not thu slightest difficulty developed, and the engineers were unanimous in tlie opinion that the engines were the best they have ever handled. During the last fifteen minutes ol the run ll.SDO horsepower was developed. The average horsepower developed, however, was 0,700. which wa1 700 more than required by the iovcrnuietit.
