The light then moved some eight Icel from wagon, Luusford backing and both par- tics striking turionsly. I hen Luusford struck Fore a blow which caused him to turn his back to deceased, ami in this po sition witness saw knile strike Luusford in abdomen.

He did not see begin ning of hghi nt wagon, bm saw that at the spring, and gaie an account very similar to that ol the lirst Stale's wit nesses. He was iiol cross-examined. Mr. Rogers heard sounds indicating that a light was imminent, am) took hold of Luusford, when Fore, who was on wagon, said, "Let him loose; Iamnot afraid of him." Luusford replied "I don't want you to be afraid of me. Will you repeat what you said ?" Then I'oreagain called Luusford a d d liar, and light ensued, of which this witness tcstilicil as the others had done. H. I!.

He said : "(,u Sunday evening 1 was walking towards spring. A horse ran against ie, and I caught it and asked boy to lie iore careful. At this moment a man came up and said, 'Talk to a man, not to a boy.' I said, 'I have no talk for either, bin I do not want a horse to run over ,ne.' Then he said, 'You are too big a coward.'

Think witnesses are mistaken on points where thev differ with me. 1 was Irving to yet away from Lunsford during the light, lie had hold oi me; 1 did not have Hold of him. 1 was trying to kill him because I felt sure thai otherwise he would kiil tne." Then the court took a recess till 2 p. m. It. A. Shook saw light al wagon. Luns ford slruck Fore, who had an umbrella in his lap, and pulled him oil' wagon. As Fore reached the ground he struck al Lunsfonl with knile. Witness eallid to Lunsford, "Lookout: He has a knile." Li 'isford was a very heavy man and one of his blows would have knocked l-'ore down, had not Luusford supported lain . by his left hand grasping his collar. Saw ' Lunsford take hold ol Foie's right hand, which was wrenched loose. Lunsfonl t hen seized both of Fmv's elbows and gave him a severe kick, which caused siiilicicnl distance lietweeu lluai in tun. file Fore to strike his adversary's front, and it was then thai the latal wound was dclivcicd. Cross-examination : Witiu-s k new the prisoner some live years ago, and al that lime his general character was mil good. Mr. Jamison, the jailer, saw prisoner a few days -ificr the allVay, w hen he was delivered into his custody. At tint time prisoner had ugly bruises on face and side, iiiul a cut in shape of the figure Ton his right thigh. C. C. Crook said thai Sumner, otic of the witnesses for the Slate, had told him that he had said to Lunsfonl thai he would not take what Fore had put upon him. I'r. . C. II. Justice was put ousiaud by del'cn"". Said that ill attending il, ceased he notice.! that he had be'cn drinking, and sinelled whiskey on his breath. The solicitor objected and the court allowed the question. llr. Startles was at canto inc'lng, but did not. see the light. Hxamim-d prisoner soon after light, l'ounil several severe bruises on lace, and a cut, not serious, on his right thigh. Afterwards found a very severe bruise on his back. This closed the evidence lor the de fense. The State recalled Mr. West, the lirst witness, who said that he had seen Fore holding Lunsford with his left Iiaud. j giaspiug his left leg, and striking btick I wards with Ids k.ii.'c in his ri-ut ii. ml. j Witness also gave several of . in Slate's witnesses n good general characici . ! i.

James Hualer knows general charac ter of prisoner which is bad. No devel opmeiils of new mailer iu connection with the res gestae, was made by this witness, nor by the testimony of Ander son Itailey, except lh.it t'.ie lai ler gave a stronger statement of epithets used bv prisoner to deceased.

The Old Dominion steamship Manhattan, which left this city lor West I'oint, Va.. tit four 'clock last Tuesday nltrinoun, wi.h thiri v-tive pusscngcr-. collided wiih the schooner Agms Manning irom Baltimore fur New York, and wel l to tne hottoir. At least lilieui lives ari siqiposed to have be. n lost. Tlie first inlormalioii of ti e disaster was given in the Associated i'ress dispatch irom New London, at the company's ollice. The iiiiorninlion ri ccned pointed to llic fact tliat iu u,l probability over twenty persons hae been lost. The vessel's crew numbered thirty-seven. She also carried three steerage passengers. The names of only a lew of the crew are known by the Old Dominion people. The manager of the company said thai the vessels ou his line exchanged crews al the end ol each trip, and il w.is impossible to slate which of ihc employees of the company were on ooard. The Manhattan was valued tit .;!15il,(IUU, and thcie was no insurance on her. She carried a very small cargo, only 101! tons of general nic;'cliaiidisck pi'iucipnllvgri'ccrics and dry goods. The Manhattan was a wonden vessel, schooner rigged, of 1,1! tons hurt hen, and was built at Chester, I'a., in 1S7U. The fact that the schooner with which the steamship collided has ai rived at l liilailclplna compaiatively sale, and makes no report ol the loss "of hie or the -inking of the other vessel, suggests the icar that most ot the Manhattan's crew nave been drowned. Besides, the captain ol the schooner reports that the com mander of the steamship relused lo give tin name of his vessel when he was sig nalled to do so by ihe captain of the gues Manning. i'l'tiwick Island, where the collision oc curred, is on the Delaware coast, and on the dividing line lietweeu Delaware and Maryland. It is twenty miles south of Cape Henlopen. Tins is the second vessel lost hy collision by the Old Dominion company iu less 'linn a month's time. In Ihe 2'.hh ol October last t heir steamer Cleopatra was sunk off the Delnwaie rapes by colliding with the steamboat Crystal Wave. Happily no lues were lost then. Nkw London, November 22.
