Bpteial Ditv*teh to Tht Chicago Tribune.
Boston, July 85.—Tho dispatch from Liver
pool concerning the discovery of Infernal ma
chines on two Boston steamers at Liverpool la
confirmed by oftlolnls hero to-day. On her last
outward voyage tho Malta, of tho CunardLlnc,
took out tea barrels of wb&t purported to bo
eemcnt,-an Innocent-looking black . earthy
compound, which was accepted (or whnt It
was represented to bo. * A number of barrels
of the same material wore forwarded by
the Bavarian, of the Loyland Lino, a few days
‘afterwards, and In both consignments infernal
machines were found by tho customs officials at
Liverpool. It will bo difficult to trace the per
petrator ot this crime against the navigation
taws, as tho consignor undoubtedly used a ficti
tious name and had bills of lading made out to
ao equally fictitious person In Liverpool, and
took every precaution to cover bis tracks. Tho
offense Is punishable bora with a term in tho

AMUSEMENTS.
“THE WORLD.”
Tho interest of 44 The World,” which will soon
bo given at MoYlokor’s, centres In two brothers,
—Clement and Harry Hunrinu/onl,—who are
aombersofullne old English family. Clement, for
some horolo action done for his brother’s sake,ln
volving great self-sacrifice, Is driven from homo
twelve years before tho story, opens, and goes
out to Capo Town to seek his fortune. There bo
assumes tho name of Charles Hartley. Hurry,
bla brother,—a heartless, brutal mao,—remains
la England, and,af tor bis father refuses longer to
meet bis reckless demands far money, marries
an unfortunate woman and squanders her Ill
gotten monoy. This woman’s name Is Mabel
Owen, whoso father and young brother Ned aro
also In tho diamond fields. Harry Hunllnyfortl ,
however, Is promised In marriage to Mary
Wythe, who, Ignorant of bis mesalliance, goes
out to Capo Town ns n governess, under promise
to marry aim on her return to England.
Act first is said to bo ono of the roost olobor
nto and life-like singe Illusions over seen. In
tho foreground is the wharf at Cape Town, wilt
a 44 life-size " steamer moored alongside, ootua
steam hissing and sputtering out of her pipes,
bales of merchandise being hustled on board by
sturdy roustabouts. The steamer 44 Lily of tbo
Valley" is about to start for England. Mo
Jewett, altos Itadorc Montmorency, and the agent
of tbo. boat have shipped a quantity
of false diamonds heavily Insured, and
have also secretly placed on board
an Inforul machine, set to explode
and sink tbo vessel In mldocean. Mary Blythe
and Clement Unntiuu/oni, who will bo remem
bered borons Harry Hartley, are on tho steamer,
Tho vessel departs timid strains of music,, tho
babel of steam whistles, and the customary
hustle at such a moment.
In the second not Clement and iUary, during a
moonlight promenade on the main deck, are
made aware that each Is loved by the other, and
It Is only then that Clment learns of Maru's en
gagement to bis brother Harm, Uaehfonl is on
board, and bus not until now discovered that
Mo Jewell is not a passenger. Ho becomes
frantic with fear,- and wildly bogs tho Captain to
sot him adrift on tbo open sou In n small boat.
In tho very midst of this auonlatng appeal tho
appalling crush Is beard ana tbo sicamor Hoots
helpless on tbo sou.
Act third Is a triumph of stage illusion. A
small, frail craft, with a ragged, blackened bit
of sail tossing eud heaving on tbo desolate ocean.
Clinging to tbo rofc are four human beings,—
Clement JiunMnc/orU, Martin Utultfonl, omn ,
and tho boy JNcd. The boy pleads for water.
Clement gives him his share, while ho lops from
his palm tho few drops that moistened It. Thera
is a sudden shriek from tbo lad. "Ashlpl A
ship) Ob, my God. will they pass us by and
leavo us hero to dloV' A moment of pnlufnt
suspense, and thou tbo shout, “fcilio seosusl
She sees usl 'Thank Qcd for Ills raoroy In our
tlmo of utmost need." Tbo resouo onus tho aot.
Tbo fourth net Is In London. Lnmley, a law
yer, contrives to procure Clement’s commit
tol for lunacy, and llnslly succeeds. The es
tablishment Is called tho River Hutroat. The
boy Ked Is captured and abused in Sir Clement's
presence, bis Impulse takes nutlou instantly,
.andknocking the keepers right and loft be
springs through tho gates and disappears. Tho
closing not takes place lu tho palace chambers,—
a splendid Interior, with n practical possongor
elevator, carrying llcsb and blood passengers
from Hour to lloor. Hero Many cruelly dis
cards his wife, and assails Jiary Dlythe with vio
lence, Hero bo Is driven by tho merest
accident to an unforeseen death at tbo bot
tom of tbo nlovutor, and hero Sir . Clement
end Mary Blylfts are madu happy In renewed
love. Thursday evening will witness (bo first
production of this drama atMoVlukor’sThoatro,
Tbo members of the company aro New York
favorite, and doubtless It will create tbo same
sensation here that It did lu Now York and.

TUB OTHER THEATRES,
There Is nothing during tho early part of this

nothing la the acting last night, as compared
with that of last week, to call fur uuy special
notice.
At tho Grand Opera-House that stanch old

cording to the play-bills, bettor known as “Tbo
Octoroon," Is being produced with the full force
of the now company. Everything Is running
smoothly at tbo South Just now,—no outrages
hove peon reported for some time, and there la
consequently nothing, except la the noting of
the piece, which Is fair to average, to cause an

THE PASSEtfCinil-UATE SVAH,
Special DUpateh to Tht Chicago Trtiun*.
Nr.tr Voiik, July 25.—1 have It from very good
authority to-night that the Pennsylvania Com
pany.wltl soon taka a step that may have tho ef
fect to put a stop to passcnger-rato cutting.
That company, as Is well known, now runs a fast
trolnto Chicago from Philadelphia In twenty
four hours. When this service was inaugurated,
It was agreed that Now York should not enjoy
the advantage of tho fast train la competition
with tho rapid transit trains of tho othor roads,
which now mako tho distance botwoon tho two
point* In about tblrty-tbroo . hours, hy
: whnt Is known In Chicago as tho 3:30
train. Tho train running from Philadelphia to
Chicago in twenty-four hours now leaves the
former city at Do-m., and togntlt tho traveler
must toko hla departure from New York either
tho night before or at 4:30 a.m., thus saving no
time by tbo former course, and greatly Incon
veniencing himself by tho latter, not onlybav-
Mug to rise early hut wait as well over two
hours iu Philadelphia before ho oau continue on
his Journey. Tho Philadelphia Company now
propose to get even with tho competing trunk
lines wbluh are cutting Into passenger
rates so disastrously by making tho fast
service a feature between Now York and Chi
cago, and running trains botwoon those two
points In aboiit twenty-six hours. Tho Penn
sylvania Company complains that tho Now York
Central bos been one of the chief aggressors in
tho present warfare, and that having broken
the agreement the former Is now at liberty to
take this step as a measure of self-defense. Dy
making tho time of departure from Now York
7 o’clock a. m. passengers can bo set down In
Philadelphia In ample time to tako the 0 o'clock
train from that city, and thus reach Chicago ot
O:4U tho following forenoon, making tho distance
In a little over twenty-six hours, with this fast
time and tho prevailing cheap rates there Is
little doubt us to which road would do the busi
ness. Tito trouble would bo that Us facilities
would bo taxed to meet tho demand of tho pub
lic. If the Pennsylvania Company carries out
this project tho result would iu all probability
bo that other trunk-linos would soon
sue for peace, and the old rates bo
restored; and harmony rulo once more.
The great trunk linos from this point to tho
West wore agitated to-day over tho Informa
tion received at an early hour from Hasten con
cerning the action of the Grand Trunk Hallway
Company. That olty was covered with posters
before daylight announcing that llrst-claas pas
sengers would bo taken over that lino from Hes
ton to Chicago for (6. Although tho trip Is a
roundabout one. going by way or Portland, Mo.,
to Montreal, and tbenoo to Chicago, tho Grand
Trunk’s out rates wore eagerly snapped at
by travelers. It Is the experience* of
nil ticket agents that the majority of
travelers do not consider tho length of time con
sumed la making a trip from one point to an
other, but aro Interested solely in securing tick
ets nt the lowest possible rates. The General
Passenger Agent or the Now York Central Hail-’
road, Mr. Mocker, did not reduce mo rate to
Chicago on Saturday from $11) to $«, and thus
follow In tho wake of the Pennsylvania Hailroad,
ns tho Now York, Lake Erie & Western and tho
Ualilmoro Se . Ohio Railroads did, but
wailed until this morning and then
mndo tho reduction to SO. Mr. Samuel
Carpenter, the General Knstorn Passenger
agent of tho Pennsylvania Utmd, calmly sur
veyed the hold after this move of tho New York
Central forces and ordered that tickets should
ho sold to Chicago for f 8.50, to Cincinnati for SB,
and to St. Louis for $13.75. The Erie and Balti
more Se Ohio at oaoo mot these llgures and sold
at tbosamo rates. Mr. Meeker, of tho New
York Central, scratched his bead again whou bo
board what Mr. Carpenter bad done and then tel
egraphed to bis agents to ronko tho second
reduction of the day and soil at the rates fixed
by tho Pennsylvania people. The agents wore
at first loath to say bow tho action of tho Grand
Trunk Kiillroad in selling tickets from Heston to
Chicago for $5 would afreet tho roads from this
point to the West, and woroevldontly waiting to
hoar from the Boston Se Albany Hoad. Later in
tho afternoon Information reached this olty that
tho Boston Se Albany and tho Jloosao Tunnel or
Fitchburg Railroad from Boston to Albany
had out their rates to $5 from
Boston to Chlcogo. Tho Fitchburg Hailroad
connects lwlth!the Erie Hailroad hit Bingham
ton and the Boston & Albany with the Now
York Central at Albany for the West. This con
duct of tho Boston railroads will, of course,
have Its effect upon the trunk lines from this
city westward, and It is probable that before tho
week closes tho (aro from Now York to Chi
cago will not bo moro than $5. The tickets sold
by tbn Grand Trunk, the Boston Se Albany,
and tho Fitchburg Hoads aro what aro
known among railroad men os rebate tickets.
At Lansing's office, No. 3U7 Broadway, tho rush
was continued to-day, and tickets wore sold to
Chicago at SB, or 50 coats less than the passen
ger agents wore soiling them, or $lB below the
tariff rale. Mr. Lansing said bo bad no doubt
tho rates would be reduced to $3 for Chicago
tickets before the week bad passed. Ho was
Belllngats7.6olorClnolnnatl ana $13.85 for BU
Louis. As It bad become common talk among
those who do not; fully understand tho subject
that tho brokers will bo compelled to surrender
through a luck of tickets, bo said that there
would bo no trouble on that score. Ho could
got nil tho tickets bo wanted so lung as tickets
were printed. In this light tho Brio and the
Baltimore & Ohio bad been the friends of tho
brokers, and where tho New York central or
tho Pennsylvavln Companies sold twonty-tlvo
tickets ho sold 185 tickets over either tho Brio
ortho Baltimore & Ohio, and travelers to the
West seemed to bavo little If any preference as
to routes. Mr. Lansing added that the sale of
tickets bud uover been so great as It Is now.
TUB CHICAGO & IOWA.
Tho Aurora pcoplo scorn to be greatly elated
that neither tbo Burlington Railroad Company
nor Mr. F. B. Illnckloy succeeded In purchasing
tbo stock of tbo Chicago & lowa llallrond which
was bold by tho City of Aurora and sold ot auc
tion Saturday. Tbo Aurora people are not
friendly to the Burlington because they waut
tho Chicago & lowa to go lato tbo bauds of a
competing road, so that their city might bo ben
efited by tho competition, Several good offers
made by the Burlington for tbo Aurora stock
bavo been refused, and It was finally put up at
auction for tho very purpose of defeating tbo
Burlington scheme. It looks now, however, os
if the good people of Aurora bad fallen In a
trap, and that their present exhilaration
will soon give way to a more sober
feeling. Tbo managers of the Burlington
and Mr. Hinckley seem to bnvo outgeneraled
thorn completely, ana the road (s most likely
soon to fall In tho bauds of the Burlington after
nil. Thu Aurora stock sold last Saturday was
purchased by Mr. F. H. Head, one of tho tfrm of
N, K* Falrbank & Co,, of this city, Tbo Bur
lington madu a bid, and so did Mr, Illnckloy,
which seems to have been done us a blind
merely for Mr. Hoad, who raised their bid 1100
and had tho stock knocked down to him without
further competition. Everything Indicates that
tbo Burlington, Mr. P. IS. Hinckley, and Mr. F.
H. Head wore acting-In concert. „ Air. Head,
who is an Intimate friend of Mr. Wirt Dexter,
General Solicitor of tho Burlington, claims to
bavo purchased tho stock for.a Mr. Charles J.
Jackson, au Eastern capitalist, who Is said to bo
Interested In the Burlington, and who, It Is be
lieved, has bought It fur that company. .
Tho stock of the Chicago & lowa consists of
UV-itiU shares. Of this tho Burlington holds 6.010
shares, or exactly ono-bulf. Mr. Klnokley
bolds ft,610 shares, and the City of Aurora held
tho other 1,000 shares. Tbo stock of tbo Bur
lington Is enjoined from voting by tbo Hinckley
stock, aud tbo stock of Hinckley Is enjoined
from voting by tbo Aurora stock. Under tbo
last Injunction the Aurora people sumo time
ago organised a new Board and took possession
of the road, but Mr, Hinckley aud llecolvor Hol
comb managed to got tho property back again
aud stilt run it. If Mr. Hinckley bud purchased
the Aurora stock bo would bavo had
just ono-balf, and In order to obtain
full control ho would bavo bad to enter Into a
lengthy and serious litigation with tbo Burling
ton. He therefore seems to have considered It
the bettor pulley to allow the Aurora stock to
fall Into the hands of the Burlington and then
sell out bis stock to that Company, Everything
Indicates that some such au arrangement bud
been perfected between Mr. Hinckley and the
Burlington people before the Aurora atoek was
sold- The stock purchased by Mr. Hoad would
bo of no value to any one but Mr. llluokley or
the Burlington, and Mr. Head evidently pur
chased It in the Interest of the Burlington, and
Mr. Illnckloy, having made bis peace with the
Burlington people, allowed them to get
It without - opposition. Tbo * Chicago
& lowa, wbluu runs from Aurora
to Forrestou, forms a natural feeder for
tho Burlington and will bo of more value to (bis
lino tbau It would bo to any other.
It Is the evident Intention of the Burlington
people to uso this line as an outlet to the North
west to compete with the Milwaukee U HU Paul,
which has lately been encroaching upon the
BuiUcgwu tvcrliory* A uew company was
formed by the Burlington a short time ago to
build a line to Uockferd and ultimately to Lake
Huperior. It Is no doubt the intention to make
tho Chicago & lowa the southern end of this
newline.
BOSTON ENTERS THE FIGHT.
Special nitpaith to no Chicago Tribune,
Boston, Mass., July 85.—Tho ticket oiDco of
tho Grand Trunk, Vermont Central, and Boston
& Albany llallronds In this olty were Oiled by
excited crowds eagerly Inquiring regarding the
reduction to $5 In passenger rates to Chicago,
announced In tho morning on the Central Vcr
monttnd at noon on tho Boston Se Albany and
Hoosao Tunnel routes. The Increase In pur>
chasers ot tickets was not so marked os the In
crease la Inquirers, as It was found that tho
rates from Chicago to Boston bad not fallen
much up to yesterday, and that the now tickets
were carefully guarded against any use for
speculative purposes. It is well understood
that the present rates will not last
for more than a few weeks,
and, though It Is possible that there may bo still
further reductions within a few dftys, they will
only servo to bring affairs to a crisis and farce
the railroad companies to adjust their differ
ences and agree upon a now schedule of rates.
The Boston St Albany IS believed to be ready to
reduce Us rates $3 tho moment the Central Ver
mont does so, and It is also prepared to make a
corresponding reduction to Cincinnati and St.
Louis. Whether tho rates from Now York
will bo lowered ns much os those from
Boston Is not yet ; decided. The only
road engaged In the Boston tight which con
nects with Now York Is tho Boston St Albany,
but It Is possible that, wltnout cutting further
lit the rules from Now York Itself, It will bo
able to obtain tho iratlio there In a roundabout
way. On Thursday tickets will bo put on tale
In Providence, Now Haven, Worcester, and
Springfield giving passage from those places to
Chicago for $3. under this arrangement much
of tho traillo which now goes from these cities
(o Now York, and. tbenoo over the Erie or
Pennsylvania Central Hoads to Chicago, would
bo scoured by the Albany lino, and oven Now
Yorkers could save monoy by buying a local
ticket to Now Haven, and going from there to
Chicago for $6. _

KEOKUK BRIDGE.
In February, 1600, an agreement was entered
late between tho Toledo, Peoria Se Warsaw Hall
road Company, the Dos Moines Valley Railroad
Company, tho Columbus, Chicago Sc Indiana
Central Hallway Company, tho Toledo, Wabash
d; Western Hallway Company, and tho Keokuk
St Hamilton Bridge Company, by which the
bridge company agreed to construct across the
Mississippi Hlvcr at Keokuk a substantial
wrouglit-lran bridge far railway trains, to lay a
track on It, aud keep both In repair forever.
Tho above roads woro to have a perpetual right
to uso the bridge, and were to pay certain
tolls forlts use, provided that tho tolls or aggre
gate not earnings from freight sboula not fall
below the sum of SBO,OOO a year, If they did fail
below that amount the railroads above-named
were to make up the dofloleney In proportion to
the tonnage each passed over tho bridge. The
Pittsburg, Cincinnati &SL Louis Hallway Com
pany and tho Pennsylvania Hailroad Company
subsequently loused the line «of tho Columbus,
Chicago & Indiana Central .Hallway Company
and assumed the bridge contract, and tho Penn
sylvania Hoad guaranteed- the performance ,pt
the contract by the Pittsburg, Cincinnati A Bt.
Louis Hoad. Subsequently it was agreed that
each of the four roads should pay ooe-fourlh of
the deficiency instead of a pro-rata share.
Tho bridge was constructed In duo time, but
tho net earnings have not In any one year
amounted to SBO,OOO ns agreed. The Pittsburg,
Cincinnati Se BU Louis Hoad paid s3\lol.o7,bomg
its fourth of the deficiency from March, 1878, to
September, 1674, but has refused to do so since
then, and now owes $81,306.16 up to September,
1880. The Columbus. Chicago & Indiana Central
Hoad has a $10,0)10,000 mortgage on IU which Is a
prior lion to the bridge contract and Is Itself In
the bonds of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati St 81.
Louis Hailroad. So that any suit against It
would be unavailing. Complainants therefore
ask that the defendants may be compelled to
keep their contract and guarantee, and bo de
creed to pay the $31,101 owing by them as their
share of tho deficiency.

Fetor McFarland, a blacksmith, S 8 years old,
living at No. 160 Front street, was badly beaten
and kicked late Sunday ulgbl on the sidewalk In
front of bis home by three men whom be claims
were Patrick Cody, Patrick llorgen, and Iltram
Case, who are all three blacksmiths and ac
quaintances of his. The injured man at first
stated that Cady approached him and wanted to
barrow fl.but, as be had only a $5 bill, they
started for the nearest saloon to get a drink,
and also to got the bill changed. On tho way bo
says Cady assaulted him from behind, and
wbon bo got him down that Bergen
and Case ran out from an adjoining
olloy anu kicked him until bo was unconscious,
and then robbed him of 9U6. Tbo police alter
Investigation say no robbery took place, and
that tbo light was most likely the result of a
feud dating back about one year ago, when Mc-
Donald quit the employ or Cady's brother on
account of a dliUoulty about wage*.

GOOD WORK.
A Lot of Tlilovca and Confidence Klen
Arrested.
The detectives at Central Station fanTO been
worked bard recently, and they ore beginning
to reap tbolr reward. Yesterday Ilyan and
Londorgan made six Important criminal arrests,
and though tbo other members ot the staff wore
less successful, the record as It stands for tbo
day is an exceptionally good one. Early in tbo
morning the officers mentioned ran afoul of
Jobn Stewart end Fred Wells, In an alloy be*
tween Stato street and Tbtrd avenue, near Her*
rlson. Jlotb are known thieves, and'ln tbolr
possession was found a bag containing ton very
fine dresses, which It was afterwards ascertained
bad been stolon during tbo night from tbo Dor*
lln Suit Company’s store at No. 220 state street.
During tbo day the same officers arrested a com*
panlon of Stewart and Wolls named Charles
Gorman, who was rooming on Clark street, near
Van Huron. They also recovered another dress
under a saloon at the northwest comer of Van
Huron and Clark streets. There was stolon In
all from the store about SSOO worth of goods,
nearly alt of which bos been recovered.
Btowart Is well known to tho police as a
“rlng-droppor*’ and potty thief. Gorman
claims to ball from St. Louts. He is likely to
prove an easy man for tho police to handle, and
before they aro through with him they expect to
havo tbo evidence necessary forconvlctlng them
of a halt dozen burglaries. He has already con*
fcased that they entered tbo suit store by clam
bering over tbo transom. A lot of cheap of Jew*
dry and silk handkerchiefs found upon tbo
prisoners has been Idonttllcd by Martin Meyer,
whose store at No. 108 Clark street was burglar*
ized about one week ago. In this caso also tho
burglars clambered over the transom.
The fourth arrest made by Uyaa and Lomlor*
gan was that of Joseph Hahn, a boll-boy em
ployed at the Leland ilotol, comer of Michigan
avenue and Jackson street, who Is charged with
stealing n valise and contents from Z. T. Kirk*
man and wife, guests of the hotel. Ho sold the
plunder to a porter in the house, representing at
the time that bo had come by ft honestly.
The same officers arrested Xlcn llnmmell and
Joseph Btoln. who have boon Identified by J. W.
Dickerson, of No/ 7119 West Madison street, as
tho young men who held him up last Saturday
night and relieved him of 123 cash. Thoystartcd
out to show him the sights to bo seen at nlgbt la
a great city.
The other arrests made during the day were
“ Whitehead " Peterson,
A WELL-KNOWN PICKPOCKET,
who Is suspected of having stolen a watch ond
chain from a saloonkeeper named Naccy, with
whom bo was out upon a spree one nlgbt about
two weeks ago. Uo has been out of the olty
ever since until yesterday. Vet another arrest
wos that of *• Klu ” Newton, an old-time bunko
stccrcrand confidence-operator, who was run
In at tho Central station yesterday, by Detect
ives Elliott and WHoy, to be kept out of temp
tation tilt tho races shall have been run.
Ho was once a partner of tho well
known ” Nobby Tommy,” but has boon In tbo
East for some years and has not given the Chi
cago police any trouble. The same officers ar
rested another confidence artist, nomed Colo, In
the vicinity of Stato street bridge. Race week
seems to have brought all the old-timers to town
again, and, singularly enough, they are nil richly
logged out and apparently In plenty of money.
••Friday” Kelley, a dangerous thief, whom
the polico have been trying to drive out of town,
was also run In again. Only last week ho was
caught at tho race-truck and was paraded as a
thief before the assembled crowd.
An owner Is wanted at the Central Sta
tion for a largo-sired open-faced silver watch
and gold chain, and a while bat, which were re
covered from a fellow giving tho name of
Michael Crowley, who was arrested on suspicion
by Detective Thorpe while attempting to die
eoso of tbo watch and chain yesterday morning,
rowley bos a variety of stories to tell concern
ing the way the property came into bis posses
sion, chief ot which Is that while walk
ing down the Rock Island tracks yester
day morning bo found the bat with tbo
watch and chain inside of It. Tbo bat was found
whore be bad bidden It under a sidewalk. From
this It Is thought that Crowley may perhaps bavo
bad a band in tbo robbery of somo passenger on
an outgoing train. It Is a favorlt trick of a cer
tain class of thieves to waylay possengoraon the
filatforms of outgoing oars, as In a majority of
nstanocs the victim would rather lose bis prop
erty than miss the train, or at least soroasoaa
for £ho time being.
THE WILLIAMS MURDER.
No Clew to tlte Whereabouts of Ro<
lian, the Assasln-
Tbe principal points of Interest In tho Will
iams munlor of Sunday night are nt present tho
facts that John lloban, tho murderer, has not
been arrested, and so far as is known thoro has
boon* discovered no olow that would lead to bis
apprehension. Tho pollco have not been Idle In
tbolr endeavors to find aim. Tho wharves,
docks, lumber-piles, and public resorts bnvo all
boon scoured and watched lu vain. Ho has so
far managed shrewdly, but the author
ities aro still hopeful. The man Dave
Evans, who was mentioned In yesterday’s
TmnuKßasa witness of the affair, was found
yesterday raomlogjat bis abiding place,—aoheap
lodglng-uouio at No. W Clinton street, ilohad
eluded Itho police, bo said, taorelr because
bo did mot wish to pass a night at tho station.
A reporter saw him m his cell at Chicago Avonuo
Station, and board bis version of the affair. It
does not differ In any essential particulars from
the story as heretofore detailed, and casts no
light upon the Incentive fur the deed. Evans
says that ho and Jim Williams and a man named
David Qrant, all “lumbor-sbovors,” wore talking
together Sunday night on the stops of tho
saloon at No. U Michigan avenue, when lloban
was seen approaching from tho docks. He was
not staggering, but his stop was somewhat
heavy, as that of a drunken man not unusually
Is. When ho bad reached the place where tho
throe men aforesaid were seated bo draw a
knife, and, muttering a few incoherent curses
and execrations, placed bis left band upon Will
iams' loft shoulder, dealt bis victim a torrltle
blow lu tbe back and another on the loft lido of
tbe nock. Then, withdrawing a step or two as
Williams roso to bis foot, bo made off Inward
tbe nvor while, the wounded wan reeled
and sat down on the steps, never again to rise
alive. When Jim first got up,” said Evans,
‘•1 said to him, * Why don't you run, you
fool? what's tbe use of standing there to get out
again?”’ None of the tbroo, the witness con
tinued, bad bad aoy Idea that lloban was con
templating any mischief. Even when they saw
tbe knlfem bis band they did not suapeot any
thing wrong, but rather thought that be bad
found a knlfe-a shoemaker’s tool bo thought It
to be—and was going to show it to them, wit
ness knew nothing of any trouble which the
men bad had prior to the killing.

DAVID OUANT, TUB OTIIKH WITNESS
mentioned, It looked up In the lame cell with
Evans. 110 wm arrested yesterday morning lu a
lumber-yard at the corner of Loomis andTwen*
ty.socond streets by OWcorSobwartz. The story
which ho toils Is ezaoUy the same as that nar
rated by Evans, and Is probably as near the
truth as auy version that may hereafter bo
given. Like the other witness. Grant knows
nothing about the afternoon quarrel, which la
thought to bo at the bottom of the whole affair.
l)r, illutbardcmade a postmortem examina
tion of the body of the murdered man uttbo
Morgue yesterday afternoon. Ho found a slight
out on the apex of tho left shoulder-blade, and
another out one and throe-fourths inches long
and two and a half Inches deep on the right side
of the book, between the eighth and ninth ribs.
Tho middle lobe of the left Tung wm punctured,
and death resulted from Interns! nemorrhago.
From the point whore the knife entered to tho
extremity of the wound wm a distance of about
five Inches, showing that the weapon used was a
tong and wide blade, probably a sbeatbknlfe,
■uah as is used by sailors.
Tho inquest wllPbe held this morning at the
