On opening oi the Cotirtj Mr. Grinnell told Judge Gaty that hfe was feiufeladtly compelled lo request an adjournment Ontil live O’clock. He said he had a good rcasgp for asking this. He did not want to say what this reason was, but that it was of great importance to the case. Then his assistant, Mr. Walker, whispered in his ear, and Mr. Grinnell said an adjournment until eleven o’clock would do Mr. Fisher inquired tirhat was the reason. Mr. Grinnell did not want to declare it publicly, but assured the lawyer he would tell him privately. He did so and the desired adjournment was allowed. Promptly at eleven o’clock the jurors came back to the court room and the rfrit witness in this famous case stepped upon the stand. He was Felix Busebeck, an architect and draughtsman. He had a big parchment thap of the scene of the tragedy, together with another representing the premises known as Kneff’S Halt— the Anarchists’ den. The witness described this meeting hall of the conspirators as that of a dark, noisome, underground hole,- approached by several stone steps, which lead Into an area, which area In turn conducted to the subterranean room. The maps were, offered in evidence, and the witness stepped down, and was soon succeeded by Inspector Bonfield. The inspector stated in a j touching manner the massacre of his men at the Haymarket and the events, immediately preceding It. The afternoon of the tragedy, he said, his attention had been called to the “Hevctige” circular. He then went to the mayor ahd laid the matter before him. According to his instructions, he ordered the men to assemble at the Despiaines Street station to be in readiness in case an outbreak should occur. About ten o’clock the men who had been detailed to watch the meet* ing reported that It Was time to break it Op. On hearing this he formed his men in Waldo place and marched them north on Desplatnes street. When the .front rank was about opposite the alley north of KandolDh street, he ordered them to halt while Captain Ward, turning to the crowd, ordered them to disperse. As soon as the order was given Fielden, wlio had beep speaking, stepped from the track and said in a loud voice:

"WE ARE PEACEABLE.” *• “A moment Inter,” said the inspector, “I heard a hissing noise behind me, and be* fore I could turn there was a terrific explosion. On looking behind me 1 saw nearly all of the first platoon lying on the ground. The crowd then commenced firing. Bart of them fell back on Desplaines street to Lake, while the majority massed themselves on the sidewalk and poured their fire into our flanks. After about seventy-five shots had been fired I gave the order to cease firing, and as the streets were nearly cleared, we busied ourselves in helping the wounded officers. Fieldcn, there, stood and fired over the truck Into our midst until it was evident that we would carry all before us, when he ran away.” Inspector Bonfield was closely cros» examined by Captain Black, who endeavored to shake his testimony, but all in vain. At the close of the inspector’s testimony the court adjourned for dinner. AFTERNOON SESSION. At the afternoon session State’s-At-torney Grinned, after a moments’ consultation with his associates, called in a loud voice the. name of Gottfried Waller. As this name was sounded through the room the faces of the prisoners grew deadly palo, and, turning to one another they gazed anxiously in each others eyes, as if seeking some information. Not a word, however, passed their lips, but with an expectant look they watched the door through which the witness was to come. A moment later the witness apJ a_l- _a

Mr. Grinnell explained that the witness was unable to speak English, and accordingly an interpreter was swforn In. The witness stated that he was born in Switzerland, bnt came to tbts country three years ago, and for the past two years had lived in this city, working as a cabinet-maker. lie was a member of the Lehr Unt Wehr Verein, bnt left them 'about four months ago. He was a member of the second company of that society, and had been drilled in the use of arms. On Monday evening preceding the night of the Haymarket riot he went to Greif’s Hall, at 54 West Lake street, about eight o’clock. He went there in answer to an advertisement in the Arbeiter < Zeitung. The advertisement was the German letter “Y” followed by the words “Komme am Montag,” or ‘‘Come on Monday.” It was a sign that the meeting of the armed society was to take place. He saw Engle at the meeting. As Engle heard his name mentioned his face grew livid, and clenching his fists he gazed at the witness with a perfectly fiendish expression. The witness said there were about seventy or eighty persons present at the meeting. A number of men called “Waller,” and he was selected as chairman of the meeting. Engle and Fisher were present, but the witness did not remember about others. After he called the meeting to order copies of the “Bevenge” circular were distributed. Engle brought forward a resolution of a prior meeting which showed what was to be done. “What did Engle say?” “He said that if through the fall of the strikers the other men should come into an encounter with the police, we shonid aid them. He then told us that the northwest group had resolved to bring aid. That if, on account of this work, something should happen to the police we must assemble at the corners as we had agreed. The word ‘Buhe’ would be published, and as soon as that appeared we were to meet. “Was anything said aa to when it would be published?’* “Nothing, beyond the - fact that it would appear In the letter-box of the Arbeiter Zeitung." “What else did Engle say?” “He said that if tumults occurred in the city then we should meet, armed, in Wicker’s Park. If the word should appear in the paper the northwest group and the Lehr Unt Wehr Verein. would assemble in the park with their arms. After Engle said this a committee was appointed to watch the movements in the city and report to us if a riot should occur. We were then to storm the police stations and cut the telegraph wires. After we had destroyed the stations we were to kill all the polioamen we met and by our deeds cause tncA workingmen to join us.

& We were to attack North avetitle station first, and after that we could do as we pleased." "Was anything said about dynamite 01 fiombs?” “TeS. It was said that dynamite and bombs would give us the easiest means t destroying the police. Engle said The witness* fcontfnuing, said that Jt was resolved to call a meeting at eight o’clock next night in Haymarkct^gtfuare. ‘•I| was decided that as a body we should not participate Ip the Jfavmarket meet* ing, but should ifieet at. on? regular places, while only a committee' Would L>o at the llaymarket. If the committed re* ported that something had happened, we Should attack the police where it pad ,t>eeri arranged for each group to do' SO. ,,ln addition to the police, we would attack the militia and fire department, ft wits planned to destroy the North avenne Station so as id prevent the police interfering if there should be a fight in the city. Attack^ were to be made on all sides at the same time. No preparations were made It the police should disperse the Haymarket meeting. We were simply Instructed to shoot the police in case there should be trouble. In case trouble shonld arise in (he day time the committee would cause the word‘‘EUhew to be published, lilt was at night they would report to us at Our houses. The word “Rube" was to be published in case of a downright revolution, and was to be' a signal for the armed to meet. I left the meeting about half past ten and went home. Next night I came down to if meeting of. the furniture workers’ at Zepp’s hall; and while there the bomb was exploded. After the bomb exploded I went home. On the way 1 stopped at Engle’s house and told him. He said it would be better 10 go home." *‘Did you ever have any bombs?” "Yes. About six months ago Fisher gave me one. It was a piece of pipe six Inches long. 1 don’t know what It was filled with. It was at Thalia Hall. Fisher had a large number of bombs, and distributed them among members of the horthwest group. All the members of the Lehr and Wehr Verein were known by numbers. (My number was 19. Quite a number of ns took bombs that day. I remember Fisher, Engle, Breltertfeld* Hube'r, Rhehiholdt, Lehman, Herman Schradel, Gruefiswald and Huebuer.” At this point In thlftltnees’ testimony the court adjourned. During the whole of the testimony the prisoners kept their eyes fastened on the witness. Their appearance was anything but pleasant as they stared at him,, but he stood the scrutiny bravely. "That man,” said State’s Attorney Grlnnell after adjournment, “is In constant danger of his life. His testimony is going to convict the prisoners, and friends of the Anarchists would be only too glad to kill him. We have him constantly guarded, sc that any attempt Would be instantly detected' and the assassins would be convicted.

A Batch of Bascules fumed) Out o f the Treasury Department* Washington, July 17.—Captain Peck, of Now York; chief of the. division of issue it the office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and J. tldward DesauldS aad Charles B. Hinckley, Of the District of Columbia, $1,400 clerks in the same office, have been dismissed for tamper* ing with examination papers. The dismissals caused quite a sensation. It was stated, this morning on official authority that the department has suspected for some time that crooked work was being done in the examinations, A Treasury official said to a representative of the United Press to-day: “We were quietly waiting to catch somebo'dv, being convinced that frauds were being perpetrated in that line. Why, right here in my desk now is an examination paper that was handed in and in which ihe answers given to the questions are word for word the same as the answers furnished by the examiners. There has beein a number of such instances, and they opened our eyes to the fact that something was wrong. Yesterday, when this chief of division was charged with having furnished answers to his two favorites he denied it up and down, but when he was confronted with a list of the answers in his own handwriting he could say no more. Of course, after he had acted that way and then lied to ns, a summary dismissal was necessary. In order to prevent such frands in the future a committee, consisting of Messrs. Trenholm, Maynard and Tounor has been appointed to institute a safer method of examinations.”

a x ariucn oujouivDetroit, Mich., July 16.—The boycott has broken out in a new spot. The thriving little city ol Battle Creek, in this State, is unfortunate in having rather narrow streets. When the farmers from miles aronnd come in to trade and hitch their teams at the edge of the sidewalks with their wagons of all descriptions, loaded with every variety of pro. duce, projecting into the center of the street, the passage ways are rendered very narrow and difficult of use, and there has been much consequent growling. A few nights ago some one or more persons spent all night in going through the main business streets cutting down all the hitching posts. This rather pleased the citizens generally and they were disposed to applaud the work of the midnight marauders, except the merchants who foresaw trouble with their trade. Efforts to restore the missing posts by action of the village council met with resistance on the part of the aniens, when suddenly the farmers in the surrounding towns took, a hand in the business and sent out word through all theirjbbrders: “Boycott Battle Creek; it is a slur on the horny-handed granger. Take your trade to the nearest competing point.” And now there is gnashing of teeth in the town where trade is thus threatened, and excitement that reminds one of a hornets’ nest with one end of a pole making things lively. Serious Accident to One tel Forepaugh*a Circus Trains. Portland, Me., July 17.—Information has been received here of a fatal accident to Forepaugh’s circus train on the Maine Central railroad at Vassalboro, some fifty miles north of here. The storm having interfered with the wires, particulars are meager. The train, consisting of twenty cars, was en route for this city, and was running at a lively rate of speed when the cars jumped the track, due to a defective rail, and plunged down the fiftvfeet embankment toward the Kennebeo river. £ Three of the cars contained animals, and one .was a passenger caboose containing a number of employes^ The cars rolled over and over several times, and were smashed into splinters. Twentyfive valuable trick horses were killed outright and a number of others badly ini'ured, a number of which* will have to lie tiled. The cabo<?se was occupied by ten men, several of whom escaped bv jumping when the car left the track, being saved from injury by the soft earth. The others were carried down the bank and were caught in the wreck. Their companions extricated several badly, if not fatally, injured. Two mcD, whose names are not given, are burled beneath the wreck in the river and weVe, doubtless, killed instantly. A wrecking train has |e|t lor the scene.

DACKT’S CRIME. A political feud In the “Bloody Ninth” Ward ol Chicago, noted forthe bitterness - with which Its Alderronnic elections have been carried on, resulted in the murder ol Aldermau Michael Gaynor by James Dacey.

He had always'^cen one ol Gaynor’s firmest adherents, ami the two were good frlcnds until\AKIermau John Foley 'died and the time came to choose his successor. Dacey wanted James Murray, a plumber, to have the nomination, but Gaynor took up the cause of W. F. Mahoney. The fight which followed was bitter In the extreme. The primaries were held a week before the regular election and Dacey was so abusive at the polls that Gaynor had him arrested and locked up. Next day he was fined, and his hatred of the alderman Increased. He is said to bave made the threat that If Murray war beaten at the election “somebody would be killed.” He was an eccentric fellow and nobody thought he would carry the threat into execution. Mahoney was successful at the election, which occuried on May 18, 1884. That tiight Gaynor and the successful candidate, and a number of other politicians were drinking in Foley’s saloon, on (South Halstead street. As they stood at the bar Dacey entered. He walked up to Gaynor and offered his hand. “I ’ won’t shake hands with you,” said the alderman, “but you cau drink with us if l you wish.” With this remark Gaynor turned laugh* ingly away. For a second Dacey stood motionless. Then he drew a revolver from ills pocket aad fired a bullet into the back of Gaynor** head. The wound proved fatal. After eleven days of Intense suffering Gaynor died. The feeling was very strong against Dacey, and he was secreted by the police, and through the intervention of his attorneys was given a trial here. Dacey was convicted of murder, but the original sen teuce was stayed to determine the question of his 'sanity. He was adjudged sane by a medical commission and It was ordered that he should be hanged to-day.

PUGNACIOUS SOLONS. A Pair or Them Indulge In an Angry Altercation, Call Hard Names, and Cotae to Washington, July 16.—A wordy difficulty between Representatives Cobb, ol Indiana, and Laird, ol Nebraska, on the floor ol the House ol Representatives a couple ol weeks ago in regard to some land entries made by the latter, culminated lu a sanguinary encounter near the southwest entrance to the floor ol the House shortly alter one o’olock this afternoon. It appeal that Messrs. Cobb and Laird met and talked over the dispute, in which the lortner accused the latter ol being a perjurer, and that they agreed to go down into; the basement ol the capitol and fight it out. Some one overheard the arrangement and went at once to Mr. Payson, ol Illinois, who is a member ol the committee on public lands, ol which Cobb Is chairman. Payson harried out irom the floor ol the House and overtook the members as they were going down the stairs to the basement. He expostulated with them, and Anally supposed he had succeeded in persuading them to desist. The men retraced their steps, and when they arrived at the entrance to tha corridor running east and west, and occupying the south side ol the floor ol the House, they stopped, and the two quarreling members renewed the dispute. “Well,” sad Laird, angrily, “you are a d—d old liar, anyway*” “And you,” said Cobb, “you are perjurer, and I can prove it.” Mr. Payson stood between the men at (his moment, but quick as a flash and with the precision ol a trip-hammer, Mr. Laird’s left hand went over Mr. Psyson’s shoulder at Mr. Cobb. It was a terrlflc blow, but the distauce was so great that it only touched Mr. Cobb lightly on the lower part ol the nose and upper lip. Blood trickled out Instantly. Mr. Cobb, who is a powerful man, rallied to resent the blow. : Mr. Payson separated the men, by the assistance ol some bystanders, and the difficulty ended. ■JL

Senator Vest on His Dignity. Washington, July 16.—Senator Vest rose in the Senate this afternoon and called attention to a passage between Senators^Plumb and Conger in the Record in which Senator Conger says: “The Senator has said that there are but two men of all that committee who rose to confess, to own that they were corrupt i and unscrupulous in accomplishing their object. 41] through his speech has run that 6ame attack upou the motives and sincerity and honesty and honor of the committee of commerce. What for?” ’senator Vest said that th_e two members of the commit- " tee who were evidently referred to were himself and Senator Coke. Mr. Vest said indignantly that he had said nothing that could be distorted into a confession. During the debate there had been the ordinary talk about members of the committee taking care of their own States, which had no foundation. Any Senator who would so stultify himsell as to make the confession he was accused of would deserve to be expelled from tiie Senate. A general explanation followed, in which Senator Plumb disclaimed any intention to reflect on Senator Vest and complimented him by saying that he and Senator Coke were the only members of the committee thoroughly consistent in ‘heir attitude. Thomson Seen In Chicago. St. Louis, July 16.—Important information concerning the movements of Cashier Thomson .was received to-day. E. C. Eliott, an attorney, the son of Dr. Eliott, of Washington University, received a letter this morning from Ben. J. Wertheimer, a lawyer in Chicago, who was formerly a partner of Mr. Eliott’s in this city, in which he stated that hornet Thomson in Chicago on Tuesday morning last. Weathelmer could hardly be mistaken, as he knew Mr. Thomson well. This strengthens the belief that the missing financier has fled to Canada. A Midsummer Reception. Washington, July 17.—“Whewl” ejaculated the President when he entered the East room yesterday afternoon aud surveyed a couple of hundred people waiting to shake hands with him, and this was accompanied by a vigorous mop at his forehead with a Clean handkerchief. The crowd pressed forward^ and the President was soon good naturedly enCrossed in the tri-weekly public recepion. A little bionde-baired bird ot promise, after taking the President’s hand, seemed loth to leave, and It required the persuasive powers of a mothci and father to induce the little one to fall pat of line,
