GREAT r.KITAI \. KVICTIOXP. I)i:niJN, June 3.— The Heulen&nt gov ernor lias issued a proclamation and post ed it in the vicinity of NewpalTas, order ing any assembly of persons for the pur pose of obstructing the execution of writs unlawful, and declaring they be dispersed by force. The flying column which left Dublin yesterday for Newpallaa to assist in the execution of evictions started from Limerick junction at eight this morning. The police with fixed bayonets led the way, followed by the Colustream guards and Scots guards, and the army hospital and army service corps. The fin! bridge reached was found destroyed, but the infantry crossed on the parapet and the mounted officers crossed by the ford. The people assembled in great numbers, GROABHra AND SHOITINO. When the house of the first tenants to be evicted was reached their attitude be came very threatening, whereupon two priests interposed and entreated the peo ple not to do violence. The priests guarded by the police ejected the first tenant amid groans and curses. Another telegram from the JSVwpallas evictions says the proclamation had the effect of preventing a disturbance. The fore.' was so strong resistance would have been useless. Other evictions were effect ed in the course of the afternoon without opposition. A soldier riding from the postofflce to the barracks in Dublin was desperately attacked and stabbed and jumped off his horse by a .laborer. "The hitter was eventually secured. He said that as an insurrection had broken out in the country he had begun in Dublin. A party of military was dispatched to Ballinamore county Lcitrim, to-day.where rioting was apprehended on account of arrests under the coercion act; THE RIOT IN 1 uINTV CLARE. A Dublin dispatch gives the following details of the affray bteween people and police in County Clare yesterday. It appears that eighty policemen proceeded to. Bodyke for the purpose of assisting in the evic tion of a tenant. Bodyke is between Scarifl and Tuela, where some military are at present garrisoned. The police while proceeding .in small parties to the place of assembly were attacked in detail by the people. Ambulance wagons conveyed the police from Ennis. They were under command of the company in spector. On the way from Ennis a hive of bees was let loose, and the stings of the insects caused the horses to become unmanageable. One of the maddened beasts dashed itself against the wall and was killed. Mounted orderlies were dis patched to Tnlla for the assistance of the military. In the meantime the police in united force proceeded to the house where the eviction was to take place. It was situated on a bill. As they ascended toward it. 1 hey were attacked by armed men, who, from a covert of fences along ■ ide the road, POURED A <!.U.I.IN<; 111:1; into the ranks of the constabulary. The latter were immediately deployed in skirmishing order, and returned the- fire with effect, killing one man and wound ing several. The police succeeded in reach ing the house and broke in the frontdoor. The rioters rushed through the back door but several were arrested. Some who had attacked the constabulary from behind the fences were .also taken. The house was taken possession of and the family in habiting it turned out. While returning with the prisoners the police were attacked and fired upon a second time, one of their horses being shot dead. Mounted men dispatched for the military had to run a gauntlet, a determined effort being made to prevent them from reaching Tulla. They, how ever, rode into town through all the obsta cles. The flying column at Ferneoys is un der orders to be ready at a moment's no tice, troopseven going from Cork to New palla?. LAND LEAGUE MEETING.

The force which went to Newpallas, nearly one thousand strong, charged and dispersed the crowd after crossing the bridge. Evictions will he continued to morrow. More arrests of members of the Land league committee are antici pated witnin a few days, so that working of the league organization from Dublin headquarters will be virtually paralyzed.

On his return to Thurles he was met, two miles from town, by a band • of musicians and 3,000 people, with flags and banners bearing patriotic Irish in scription 0 . He was brought in procession to the aivhepiscopal palace. The people were with difficulty restraiued f»-om tak ing the horses out of the carriage and drawing it themselves. MOitr. arrests.

Dillon enquires whether the question of privileges- does not arise on his arrest, and asks the •chief, secre tary for Ireland to read the reports of his (Dilloii's) !i. He declares.it did not afford a justification for his arrest/. The speaker in reply says, that as Dillon's let ter did not relate to any matter of privi lege, he had not thought it necessary to lay it before the house. SUSPENDED. In commons during the time of putting questions to minister, Thos. P. O'Connor was called to order for using the 'word "mendacious." O'Kelly, home rule mem ber, thereupon applied the epithet cal umnious and King to several members of the house, and his suspension for the remainder of the sitting was moved by Gladstone and carried, US to 14. O'Kelly then withdrew quietly. Parnell gave no tice he would call attention to the cir cumstances of the suspension of O' Kelly on Friday? ' . Till. REVISED TESTAMENT. Lord SUborn, lord chancellor, in a let ter to lit. Rev; Christopher Wardsworth, bishop of Lincoln, expresses the opinion that the revised testament cannot be read in the English church until it has been recommended or authorized by some effi cient public authority, and that any clergymen using it in a church risks being held as an offender against, the law. TIErESS. On motion of Gladstone to take -a recess until the 9th iust., the conservative members raised a heated discussion ou the state of Ireland. Harcourt in replying to Xorthcote denied the charges of conceal ment and lack of information, and ac cused Xorthcote of desiring to embarrass the government hy causing alarm and adding to the difficulties of the grave cir cumstances already existing. Gladstone said vigorous measures adopted by tV.e Irish executive yesterday for dealing with resistance to law, including that at Cas tle near Newpallas. Xorthcote. said the statements was not reassuring. Forster's absence was of itself a cause of anxiety. Gladstone's motion to take a recess until the ninth was agreed to. McCarthy's motion for a vole of cen sure on the Irish executive was rejected, 130 to 12. Joseph Cowf, radical, was the only English member who voted with the minority. During the debate. W. A. Johnston, liber;], member for Mullow, said the result of the action of the land league had been to bring Ireland to her present deplorable condition. LAND LEAGUE OitUAKIZER AKRKSTED. A dispatch from Tralee, County Kerry, ays Timothy Harrington was arrested liis forenoon under the coercion act, and taken to Gahvav. Harrington was elected chief organizer of the land league after the arrest of Davitt, and has for some time been attending sheriff's sales throughout, the country on behalf of the league. Considerable, excitement, and more arrests are expected. O'CONNOR'S OFFENSF. Londo.v, June 3.— The statement which T. P. O'Connor made in the house of com mons to-day, termed mendacious, was ne in question by A. L.-Laltenham. the conservative member from Leitrim, at tributing the murden in Galway to the action of the land league. The whole proceedings in the house showed a grow ing friction between the government and the Irish number". Gladstone, in the course of Ins reply to the question, defended .the threats to evict tenants on the Conmore property, on the ground that immoral doctrines have been preached regarding rent . Parnell defended his ad vice to withhold unjust rents, and said Forster, in not restraining landlords had violated the Bolemn pledges of the gov ernment, and thrown its whole weight on the side of the landlord-: but the tenants, ho declared, would continue the agitation of rent, and he believed they would win. even against bayonets and police. REPEAL OF THE .H T RY LAWS. The Daily Telegraph says the government has received such serious news from Ire- land the last few days that measures cal culated to deal with the exceptional state of atfairs there, is, we believe, engaging the attention of the ministers. The (lironidf says: We understand that the government is considering the question of suspension of the Irish jury laws, and will probably introduce a bill for that purpose the present session with out interfering with the land bill.

Cameron— Au Open Rupture Prevented With Diffi culty. New York, June 3.— The PosVz Rich mond special says the Headjusters' con vention met this morning in a rather sour temper. The harmony movement in the interest of Riddleberger late last night wa^ very clumsily managed, and had an opposite effect from that intended. He may get the nomination yet, but all con cede that the haste of the harraonizers and the designing speech of Riddleberger bave hurt Ins cause and will leave heart burnings in the event of his success. Wise withdrew Mahoues name at the opening of to-days session and in the ballot which followed Riddleberger re ceived a very fair vote, and they were ac cepted by the convention in silence. KAWoare'a name withdrawn. Richmond, Va., June 3. — When the Readjusters' convention was called to order, Wise, who last night nominated Gen. jMahone, said he had done so with out that gentleman's consent, and desired to withdraw the nomination. The third ballet was as follows: Grover 104, Cam eron 29, Glossey 257, Wise 88. A number of votes were cost for Riddleberger, which were subsequently changed at the instance of that gentleman, who briefly addressed the convention, thanking the delegates who had complimented him. At the same time he said he thought it was well un derstood he was not a candidate. His name was not to be considered, and he hoped his friends would feel themselves relieved of any and all obligations to sup port him. LOPPING THEM OFF. a resolution was here introduced to drop the lowest candidate on each suc cessive ballot, and that the candidate so dropped shall not be nominated until one ballot, intervenes. This give rise to an excited debate, which amid great confu sion was put an end to by the main ques tion being ordered, after which the res olution was adopted by an overwhelming majority. At this point, several delegations fa voring the nomination of Grover, asked leave to withdraw five minutes for con sultation, and business wns temporarily suspended. ( AJIEhON THE MAX. Upon the return of Greene's friend balloting was resumed, the ballots show ing a steady gain for Massey. Before the fourth vote was announced a number of slight changes were made, main]}' favor able to Cameron. The county of Acco niac then changed its solid vote of twelve from Wise to Cameron. This was re ceived with prolonged applause. Change followed change in rapid succession from Wise to Camer.-n Amid the great confusion which attended the changes, friends of Massey and Greene asked leave to retire for consultation. No attention was paid the request. The confusion continued to increase. While it was at its height Gen. Mahone appeared before the convention and was, as usual, greeted with thundering applause. In an instant order wns restored and he pleaded for harmony and begged fair play be shown, and that delegations who wished to retire might be allowed to do so nnd proceedings be suspended during their absence. So further objection be ing made the Masaej nnd Greene men left the building. Upon their return the secretary pro ceeded to call the roll over for changes. When about half the counties had been called it became evident from the"numer ous changes in favor of Cameron that his nomination was a fixed fact. At this point Massey put in an appearance and was greeted with great applause. He said he would not deny the fact he had until now indulged in feelings akin to those of his friends in the convention, and apologized for any liberties he might take in addressing them. The cause of the • Readjusters was his own. He had nurtured it in its in fancy, fostered it in its growth, and battled with it in its manhood, and would not desert it in its old age. What lie had done was for the cause of Virginia and her people, and now rather than see his cause jeopardized by any dissension among the representative men of the par ty he was willing to sacrifice everything of a personal nature for the further ad vancement of the party. His friends had stood firmly by him, and he hoped they would now follow him. They might not have the leader they desired, but they should be willing to do everything ■> for harmony, and he hoped they would, as one mau,voteto make the nomination of Col. Cameron unanimous. A tremenduous outburst of applause greeted the speech, and the question being put, it was carried with but a few dissenting votes As soon as quiet could lie restored Col. Lewis E.«Harvie, of Amelia, nominated John T. Lewis, ex-Senator, for lieutenant governor. Riddelberger spoke in oppo sition to the nomination of Lewis and presented the name of William Milnes, of Page county Judge Shuman, of Faquicr, was also placed in nomination. Before the conclusion of the first roll call, nearly all the votes having been cast for Lewis, the motion was made to make his nomination unani mous, which was adopted. Capt. F. D. Blair, of Wythe county, was nominated for attorney general. A committee was appointed to wait on Col. Cameron and inform him of his nom ination, and reported that the gentleman would acknowledge the compliment paid him at 9 p. m., to which time the conven tion adjourned. THK GLOBE UOKOSCOPK.

SATURDAY MORNING. JUNE 4, 1881. RAILROAD FOLKS. A Party of O\v tiers and Directors on v Tour of Business and Pleasure— Annual Meet ings of i In; Omaha Companies To-Day— The Struggle for Territory in the North west—Personals, Locals, Etc. At the Metropolitan last evening, was registered the following party: David Dows and wife, Mrs. Leggett, Miss Orr, Geo. Stebbins, R. P. Flower, wife,daugh ter and maid, Benj. Brewster, Henr Beibert and R. S. Middleton, all of New York; R. R. Cable and wife, and P. L. Cable, Rock Island; 3. A. Ellis and wife, H. H. Porter and C. W. Hillard, Chicago; P. Sawyer, Oshkosh, and C. F. Hatch, St. Paul. Messrs. Dows, Flower, Brew ster, Sawyer and P. L. Cable, are stockholders and officers of the St. Paul & Sioux City and Chicago, St. Paul & Minneapolis railroad companies, which are in operation consolidated in the Chi cago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha line, and others of the party are associated with them as stockholders, not only in this property, but in the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific and Chicago & North western railroad companies. Messrs. Dows, R. R. Cable, Flower, Brewster and Porter are directors of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific company. Mr. Flower is a director of the Chicago & Northwest ern railroad company, in which other gentlemen of the party are interested as stockholders. The party left Chicago Thursday even ing for a railway trip through Wiscon sin, Minnesota and lowa, over railways in which the gentlemen are interested. The gentleman of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha line Are to attend at St. Paul this forenoon the annual meeting of the St. Paul & Sioux City railroad company, and at Hudson this af ternoon the annual meeting of the Chi cago, St. Paul & Minneapolis company. It is not presumable that these anunal meetings will develop any material changes in ownership of the properties. The party was accompanied from Chi cago Thursday night by Assistant Presi dent Winter and General Superintendent Hatch, of the C, St. P. & O. line, and was joined at Hudson yesterday morning by General Traffic Manager Clark. Yes terday was devoted to a trip up the North Wisconsin road. Sunday will probably be given to rest in St. Paul and vicinity and Monday the party will probably go west to Sioux City, from whence or from Omaha its members will return to Chica go and New York, at such time and by such route as the ladies may request. Miscellaneous. The proposition being made for the picnic excursion of the Jackson street M. E. church to the Chisago lakes and Dalles of the St. Croix next Thursday > are such as to promise a wholly enjoyable time to all joining the party. The land sales of the St. Paul & Man- oba company last mouth amounted to about 00,000 acres. As most of the sales were in small lots,to actual settlers, it may be estimated that over three hun dred families, numbering about 1,500 persons, are added to the. population of the Red River valley by these sales. And, as the land department has also during the month, as is its policy, aided many immigrants to secure government lands, it is probable that in all it has lo cated not leas than 2,500 people in the valley during the last month. General Manager Hill and Vice Presi dent Angus, of the St. Paul it Manitoba, have not yet returned from their visit to Montreal, but are expected here to-day. The earnings of the St. Paul & Manito ba company during the month of May amounted to $382,642.30, an increase of $100,742.82 over May of 1880. The earnings of the company for the year will probably amount to over $3,000,000 in Minnesota (besides the earnings of its Dakota branches) requiring it to pay the State, in lieu of fill other taxes, not less than $90,000. Some of our exchanges are inclined to exaggerate the contest between the St. Paul & Manitoba and Northern Pacific companies, for possession of territory in central Minnesota and in the Red river country. It is not a life and death strug gle, nor even such a conflict as will lead either company into wasting its capital in the building of unprofitable roads. As it stands now about all there is of it is that the readiness of one company to build feeders to its main line stimulates the other company to road making which it might else postpone for a few years. In good time all the great wheat country of the New Northwest will be so well supplied with railroads that few grain growers will be more than twenty miles from a market town, but there are not many trunk lines to be created before the settlement of the country and develop ment of commerce marks out trade lines. Then some of the little roads may be parts of great transportation lines. Mean time, so far as they are not feeders to es tablished courses of trade, they are merely speculative. The Railroad (inzette's summary of rail way accidents in the United States for the year ending April 30th, foots up as follows: Number of accidents 1,364; persons killed, 385; persons injured, 1,073. It is noted that nearly as many lives were lost by the one recent steam boat accident at London, Ont,, as were lost by rail accidents in all the United Btates'during the whole year. Not less than . r r,ooo trains were moved daily dur ing April, carrying not less than a half million people, and accidents occurred on an average daily to only two trains, with injuries to only three persons. t'u ippeum I nils ami St. Paul* Milwavkke, June 3.— C.

New York, June 3.-Ex-Senators Conkling and Platt arrived this morning. They left the hotel at an early hour, but not in company. Senator Jones called upon Conkling and went with him to breakfast. To a reporter of the Evening Post Senator Jones afterward said: "Sen ator Conkling is looking in better health than I have seen him for a long time, and is as full of fight as ever. I had but a few minutes' conversation with him. He has no intention of withdrawing his name but will contest the fight right through. He feels confident of ultimate success, both for himself and Platt. It is an abso lute impossibility for the half-breeds to unite upon any man in their list, and as soon as any attempt is made you will see most of the men go to Conkling's side." Xo Conference. Xew York, June 3.— Xo sign of a po itical conference to-night at the Fiftli avenue hotel. Ex-Senator Conkliug kept in his room the whole evening. Ex-Sena tor Platt was with him a great part of the time. Vice President Arthur is expected in town to-morrow evening. Ex-Senator Platt proposes to return to Alba ny Sunday evening. It is stated to-night, by those who profess to know, there will be no conference held, that Conkling's friends have assured him Ins prospects are very bright, and there is no sign of a backdown among the stalwarts. mv stick. .New York, June 3.-- Times city article: Mr. Conkling seems to have reached that stage of his career when his presence re pels rather than attracts, and the absence of his former henchmen at the Fiftli Avenue last. night must be painfully apparent to him. Vice President Arthur remained in Al bany with nearly all of Conklings friends, to keep the stalwarts of the leg islature to their work in the absence of their chief, and to see that they did not falter in their allegiance. He will re tu nto New York to-night. The rumor that the managers of the stalwart cam paign have arranged to hold a mass meet ing in this city Monday night, at which Conkling would explain his resigna tion and justify his action as Sena tor, is pronounced by those in the confidence of the stalwart leader to be utterly without foundation. They say the time for Conkling to speak, either from the platform or through the press, has not yet come, but that when it does come he will be heard in an effective way. There seems no doubt but he and PJatt, to use the words of Sen ator Jones, intend to stick, and to fight it out for an election "if it takes all sum- mer." The personal friends of the ex- Senators say all talk about treachery on the part of Governor Cornell is but the merest gossip and it is wholly unfunded in fact. Gov. Cor nell tells everybody that he is not a candi date, that he does not want to go to the Senate, that he is unreservedly in favor of the return of Conkling and Platt, and that he thinks the legislature owes it to them to send them back. ;I. believe he .is. honest in his professions and 1 know the two ex-Senators have faith in him. ■■ \ . The Tribune' Albany special says: The best judges among the administration leaders declare Conkling's whole aim is to prevent a choice by the legislature, and that well-informed administration men claim they have positive evidence he has been continuing his overtures "to Democrats during the past week in ; spite of all coldness they have shown him. - A Milwaukee dispatch to Mr. Robinson, bearing several signatures, is published. The signers say, we desire the election of Republican Senators who will not resign and leave the Senate in the hands of our political enemies. ■. AMUSEMENTS. ...',; j ITaverlii'a Minstrel*. ' ' • The last performance of Haverly's Mas todon minstrels > was given last evening before a full house. ; The programme was the same as oh the previous evening, and the judgment of the audience was unani mous that the show was in every respect the . best I that \ has J visited | St. Paul for years. There were ;no weak \ features ; . in the entire programme. : Among the forty there were no "chair- warmers," but ev ery man did his work in a thorough and acceptable manner. But few encores were responded to, owing to the fact 'that the company was obliged to. take, a special train for Omaha at 11:30. , As a whole there was plenty of fun to be had in the evening's entertainment, '.-■ .; ' , ; i , Htiltltcln'.v Organ Jlrritfil A larger audience than usual at tended the organ recital given hy Mr. Samuel A. Baldwin at the House of Hope church yesterday afternoon. Nearly all the professional musicians of the* city were present, as were a large num ber of ladie?. Bach's prelude and Fugue in E flat was rendered in a masterly man ner, the organist displaying not only a fine appreciation of the sentiment of tbe composer but a perfect command of every intricacy of his instrument. The march and seraphic chant by Guilmant was a fine piece of instrumentation, which called forth hearty plaudits, while the theme and variations in A fiat, by Thiele, was exceedingly pleasing. Miss Evelyn Bur bank sang Luzzi'a "Aye :) with much depth of feeling. She has a mellow, rich and pleasing soprano voice, well culti vated, and held in good control. Her rendering of Gabriel's "When Sparrows Build" was also an excellent and entirely praiseworthy effort. At the next recital Mrs. H. M. Knox will give the vocal numbers. liemenyi To-ni'jht. The great violinist Remenyi, will ap pear at tbe Opera house tfcia evening, probably for the last time, assisted by M'lle Henie Re ignard, soprano, Eduioud de Celle, renor, and Henry Beale, pian ist To lovers of artistic music, his en tertainment needs no commendation. Mr. George P.Upton, of the Chicago Trib une, the most competent musical cntio in the West, speaks of Remenyi in these enthusiastic terms: He is the peer of any living player we have heard. He sweeps criticism and ev ery sort of objection away. His tech nique is simply boundless and equal to any emergency. He is simply elec trifying, strangely fascinating, and' aa majestic as was that of Rubinstein as compared with Yon Bulow. His bowing is often eccentric, and there is a grolesquerie at times in his work that closely approaches the sen sational, but there is no opportunity to criticise such a player. A man with the temperament of an iceberg might per haps dissect his playing, but unless he is at that degree of frigidity he can remem ber little else but the potent spell of the fascination which the great player weaves around him, the exquisite colors, the dazzling brilliancy, and the absolute abandon of his work. Rose Wood. The last of the entertainments to be given in this city for some time will be the rendering of "Camille" ami • Frou- Frou" on Monday and Tuesday evenings of next week by Miss Rose Wood and her excellent company. Miss Wood has been the leading lady at Wallack's New York theater, and has been engaged by 3lr. Joseph Jefferson as his leading support for next season. She is an actress of rare capability, and her redition of the roles mentioned is spoken of as being very superior in every respect. She will be supported by an admirable company. CITY GLOHULK.S.

Attorney General Mac Veagh Almost Heady for the Final Denouement -A Slartllui; Mann of Testimony Already Secured — Several Kx-CoDgregMuien an well nn I'ost- Office Officials Implicated In the Steal- Some of the Thieves Arranging to Fly the Country— Dorse y and Others to be In dicted-General Capital News. Washington, June 3.—Attorney-gen eral Mac Vcagh has . been untiring in bunting down the star route ring, and he has more evidence than the pub lic is'aware of. - He has searched the records of the deparment connected with star route contracts, and confidential special agents have been sent secretly to gather testimony on the lines of* ex pedited routes. Nothing has been left undone that would unearth evidence of fraud. At first .the star route ring talked boldly, under the supposition that so long as no member turned State's evidence they were safe. Boasts were, made here, in Washington, that the investigation would fail, It is different now. The men who shared in the ring are anxious and uneasy, and it i predicted that some of them will leave the country. Attorney General Mac Veaglfand Postmaster General James arc determined to prosecute the ring, and they have evidence enough to procure indictments against numerous parties. The postmaster general has copies of Dorsey's correspondence with his agents, who procured petitions for star routes, and some original letters and doc uments, throwing light on the methods employed in Arkansas and the Southwest have been obtained. The depositions of some persons who helped to prepare the way for the expedited routes have been procured also. The Evening Star, to-day, gives a list of men who will be presented to the grand jury for indictment. Among the list is S. B. Elkins, formerly delegate to the House 'of Representative • from New Mexico, and son-in-law of a-.\ United States Senator. Elkins -was intimate with Dorsey when the latter was in the Senate a year or two " ago, and gave out that he had made a ■fortune in mining speculations, and he established himself in grand style in New York. He was a partner of R. C. Kerns of St. Louis in star route contracts. El kins by his influence here got star con tracts and . had them expedited, while Kerns looked after operating the lines. Ex-Congressman McEibben is another man mentioned for indictment. Also, S. B. Price, of Missouri, ex -Auditor Mc- Grew and his late deputy, Lilley, will also be presented to the grand jury. McGrew claims that his deputy, the assistant audi tor, was only to carry out the directions of Second Assistant Postmaster General Brady, and that therefore he cannot lie held responsible for any wrong. But the sixth auditor is invested with unusual dis cretionary powers, to be used for the pro tection of the government; but that he did not protect the government, as shown by favors granted to star route contractors in releases from fines and forfeits properly imposed, and which ought to have been collected. | j Ex- Assistant Postmaster Brady is also on the list announced to bo prosecuted, as is ex-Senator Dorsy. Brady's chief clerk, R. C. McCornier, is also mentioned as one of those who may be prosecuted. The. trials, when they commence, will necessitate the summoning of a very large number of witnesses from different points, especially from the "West and Southwest.- Uenrral Capital Xeirs.

The police court was filled with a few knowing old boys yesterday afternoon, in expectation of racy developments in the case of the city against Henry Eic horn and Victoria Smith, charged with conduct unbecoming a married man and maiden. The charge was preferred by Airs. Eichorn,' wife of defendant, who testified that she caught her husband and Victoria at Mrs.^Snell's. Mrs. Eichorn 4 had no counsel, and a peculiar feature of the case was, that ex-Gov. Davis, who de fended Mr. Billson in the blackmail suit, appeared for both Miss Smith and Eic horn. The testimony of Mrs. Eichorn was rebutted by Mrs. Deck, Mrs. Snell, Victoria Smith, Henry Eichorn and Mr. Snell, all of whom testified that Eichorn had visited Mrs. Snell's to hire a girl, and that no' unbecoming conduct took place.
