He identified the books from which the investigating committee had obtnined facts for their reports. He testified also to the amount of the shortages. He then proceeded to read in detail from the report of the com mittee the various checks that were raibed and entered falsely by Noland. Governor Francis was recalled. 4IIe paid the committee filed three copies of their report with him, and one of these he had sent to Mr. Xblimd, with a demand forafaettlement of the shortage. He ex plained that the latter report had been altered somewhat from the original, to more fully explain the nature of the deficit. The state then introduced considerable documentary evidence, and then called M. A. Fanning, former private secretary of the governor. He testified to having served tb investigating committee's re port upon Mr. Noland.

KANSAS ClTT, Mo.. May 8. Tboro is trouble in tho execution of recent judg ments in the bond cases against Cabs and St. Clair counties. It grows out of tho refusal of tho of tho county courts to levy taxes for the payment of these judg ments. Tho judges of each county an nounce their determination to go to jail rather than order a tax on tho people. Thero aro two judgments against St. Clair county one in favor of B. D. Stew art and the other in favor of tho Ninth National bank of Now York aggregating over flOO.000. When Deputy Marshal Oechsti served the papor.s on the judges yesterday, they told him that they would never order u tax; that they had been elected under a promise to the people .never to levy a tax for the payment of these bonds, and that they not only were not disposed to do it, but were afraid to. The condition of affairs in Cas3 county is even more desperate. Judgment was rendered Bome time ago in favor of Albert Parker, a capitalist of San Diego, Cal., for about $100,000. A mandamus ordering a tax levy was granted by tho court and disregarded. The three judges were ar rested and gavo bond in the sum of $1,000 to appear before the court in Kansas City i he second Monday in June. They say that nothing will compel them to take the obnoxious steps, andthatif necessary they will go to jail. The bonds are railroad bonds, voted by the counties about twenty years ago. THE ADAMS CASE. - OMAHA. Neb., May S. Judge Shields, of Wichita, Is in the city in the interest of his client, J C. Adaum, who was convicted in the United States court at Wichita lu-t March of the murder of Capt. Couch, the Oklahoma boomer, and eeutenced to be hanged June UC. Judge Dundy presided at the trial and gave sentence. Judue Shields will take tho case to the supreme court of the United States. His mission in Omaha Is to tecure tho signature of Judge Durdy to a bill of exceptions. One of the grounds relied on by the defense is the refusal of tho court to admit in evi dence the duplicate certificate of entry issued to Adams by the register of the land office for the land in controversy, over which tho killiug was done. A second point to which much importance is at tached is the invalidity of the indictment. Judge Shield, will proct ed Immediately to Washington to obtain a supersedeas and a stay of execution He is confident that a new trial can bo secured. THE NUTMEG STATE MUDDLE. New Haven, Conn., May S. Attorney William C. Case, of this city, acting for Governor Morcan C. Bnlkleyand Lieuten ant Governor Samuel P.

In his answer Gov ernor Bulklev claims that he and no other person is the true and lawful governor of Connr cticut, and that the court should be bound to take judicial notice of that fact and dismiss the proce lines. Then he says the general assembly of Connecticut, nt its January sesiou in iStK), by joint hal lot, elected him to bo governor for the term of two year:, and until his successor shall be duly qualified. Then he goes on to state that he still acts as governor be cause no successor to him in the office of governor has yet been chosen and duly qualified to hold such office.

The ruins of Tuesday's fire were looted by a mob of men, women and children todav. During the busiest part of the day, when the streets were thronged, the mob took possession ot the burned buildings, and for two hours the greatest excitement prevailed. There were no police on the ground, and the looters carried off hundreds of dollars worth of goods, eatables, etc. Hungarians and Italians composed the greater portion of tho crowd.and they ransacked everything in sight. Hams, cans of lard, condiments and coffee wera carried away in large quantites. They were armed with sacks ana Baskets to carry tneir oooty away, and it looked as though a systematic raid had been planned and was hurriedly being executed. Never since the riots of 1877 have such scenes taken place in Pittsburg. The firemen, who were still at work on the ruins, finally drove the looters off by turn ing the hose on them.

A novel funeral took place recently in Brooklyn. It was that of Bridget Rafferty, a married woman, who weighed 420 pounds. She died on the third floor of a Stuyvesant avenue tenement. When the HOW THE CASKET REACHED THE 6TREET. undertaker went to measure her he opened his eyes in astonishment at her propor tions. There was no coffin wide or deep enough in his establishment to accommo date the corpse, and a special casket had to be built. It was a "double extra mam moth," thirty-four inches broad at the shoulders, six feet in length and twenty eight inches deep, with iron braces weigh ing fifty pounds. Upon measuring the doorways it was found that the casket would not pass through without turning it on end. The stairway was narrower than the doorways. Accordingly a derrick was rigged up on the roof, the huge coffin passed through the window and slipped into a swing and lowered to the ground like a safe. This part of tho ceremony occupied twenty min utes, and was regarded with deep interest by a throng of several hundred people. aiorphico Caused II U Death. Joseph Y. ilcMahon, a well known so ciety mun in Brooklyn, recently died by poisoning at the Manhattan club, of which he was a member. He sent two prescrip tions to the office of the club, with a request that a messenger have them filled immedi ately. They called for thirty half gram morphine pills and one ounce of laudanum, but as they were made out in medical i form, marked "special," and signed "Dr. Mc Mahon," thedrug ist did not hesi tate to put them up. Next morn ing McMahon was found dead in his bed. JOSEPH V. M'iLlUOS. Mr. McMahon ! was a methodical, matter of fact business I man, with no feminine entanglements or financial troubles. He bad lung trouble, j and was a sufferer from a nervous form of j dyspepsia. Deceased was a regular attend- j ant at the Church of Our Lady of Victory, j and was a .graduate of Georgetown college, D. C. His father is a director of the Catho lic Orphan Asylum society. The family were of opinion that McMahon procured the morphine to ease the pains of dyspepsia and accidentally took an overdose. Gallantry in the Court Coom.

Recently an English judgement to jail for five nun- ute a woman who had been convicted of 1 marrying a fcecond use before taking j measures to investigate an erroneous re port of the death of her first husband. The lightness of the sentence was ba&ed on the prisoners beantyand ignorance of the law. The other day a New York policeman ar rested and secured the coavicuoa of two women for misdemeanor. They couldn'c pay the fines imposed, and their captor promptly tetded the bill himself, and thought himself well rewarded by a tor rent of tearfnl thanks. TJValth for Tatar Generation.
