Greenwood testified in the Wbittcmore habeas corpus proceedings, that Doc Roberts told him be was going to die; that he shot at Big Jim twice and at Bud three times, and if Big Jim had not bothered him he would hare done better shooting. The State then closed its testimony and J. Ray was called by the defense. He testified that after the first few shot had been fired, "Big Jim" came outside the store and said he "had gone in to part them and he killed me;" then he leaned against the door and while in that position was shot in the face by some one inside. C. C. Green wood was recalled and said that Roberts had once said to him Big Jim' and Bud Whittemore are the only men I aim to kill, and if they ever cross my path I will kill them."

No further evidence was offered. Judge Merrimon then remarked that before proceeding with the propositions wbich he would otter in the case, be had something to say for the benefit of the people generally. tie regarded the occurrence as one ot the most remarkable in th! history of the county. Human lives had been sacrificed that could have beeu saved bv the inter position of men who were cognizant of the impending dantjer. Of the two men killed, Whittemore, who had been wild and reckless in his younger days, had thoroughly changed his course and had become a consistent member ot the church: Roberts, of a high strung, excit able nature, and dangerous when in anger, had in latter years gained control of himself to a degree that secured for him a commission as a justice of the peace, and both men were useful citizens, Kumors ot serious trouble wtrc cur rent in the community and all the par ties in the store when the men entered knew that an outbreak was imminent. In the face of it all no one attempted to maintain the peace or to prevent the tragedy. Instead of peaceable and friendly efforts to separate the men and end the quarrel amicably the bystanders got out of the house as nuickly as possi ble and left the enraged men to settle their trouble with violence and death. 1 he attair was a most unfortunate one for the people of the county, deplorable hi its results and exceedingly discredita ble to the persons present who knew the former character ot the men and who might have averted the catastrophe. A great hush was upon the crowd in the court room while Judge Merrimon was speaking and the prisoner gave him self up to a spell ot weeping. The hearing then odiourncd to lO o'clock this morning, when Judge Merri mon concluded his argument. He was followed bv Messrs. Ransom and Craig. for the State, arguing against the release ot Whittemore on bail. Judge Carter decided in favor of the prisoner, fixing the bond at $,UOO. Hob-Nob Xoicetlier lu Private. Washington, March "J. The one great feature of interest in political circle9 to day is the visit of Senator David B. Hill to his greatest political rival, President Cleveland. Senator Hill came to the White Mouse this morning by appointment, presuma bly arranged by Congressman Rockwell of New York during hi visit to Mr. Cleveland Tuesday. That his visit was more than a mere perfunctory call is attested by the length of the interview. It lasted twenty minutes, and during that time President Cleveland received no cards from waiting politicians in the cabinet room. II ill came early; the great flood of officescckers had not begun flowing into the White House when he arrived. He passed rapidly through the hallway in the public part of the mansion into the room of Private Secretary Thurber, who evidently had been posted, for he ushered him into the adjoining executive office without a mo ment's delay. When Hill entered the President's room word was sent to Door keeper Loefler that Cleveland was very bu.'ily engaged and could not sec any visitors for some time. As a consequence arriving delegations soon filled the cab inet room and by the time Hill left the White House there were more men than scats in the apartment. i he interview was, ot course, ol a strictly private character, but from the tact that it had been previously arrangeo and from its length there can be little doubt that it was of more than a mere official or social character.

TV LEGISLATORS, Will t.reMltam itomliialv the t'ub Inel? Washington, March G. The place which Gresham holds in Mr. Cleveland's confidence is shown by a circumstance which has not attracted much attention It is known that Gresham was lately summoned by Cleveland to come to Lakcwood in the shortest time. The Judge was working night and day to get ready to leave Chicago to enter on his duties as Secretary of State at Wash ington, it even then being certain that he could not be present at the niriigu- ration. Uroppmg everything and ad journing the court for a few days, the ludge obeyed the summons. What the President wanted of Gresham was his opinion whether or not, should there be an occasion, the secretary ot the treasury could, under the law. do a certain thing regarding bonds. In three minutes Gresham off-hand enlightened the 1'rcsi dent-elect, and on the first train started back to Chicago. 1 his incident derives its significance from the fact that, al though the prospective .Secretary ol the Treasury, Carlisle, is one of the ablest lawyers in the country and has paid much attention to this very question. was at Cleveland s elbow, althougli Cleveland at the moment had selected ifhehadnot announced, his Attorney General, whom he would naturally con sult on matters of that kiud, it was only Gresham opinion that would suffice, and he was sent for, even though it was was on a Question outside ol the line 01 duties to which his future position in the administration related. N. Y. Sun. He Will do all Me Can to Maintain the Parity of Gold aud Silver Hanker Oiler cold. Washington, March 9. Secretary Carlisle this morning authorized the statement that he would exercise all the power and discretion vested in him as Secretary to uphold the credit of the government and to maintain the paritj" of gold and silver. This statement was made to brush away an endless string of rumors that have gained circulation about what he contemplated doing ns to maintaining the gold reserve intact, as to issuing bonds or as to paying United States uotcs and United States treasury notes in silver wbeu free gold was exhausted, etc. The example of Denver, Col., in of fering $1,000,000 in gold yesterday for treasury notes, has been followed by Chicago bankers who today offered $500,000 in gold for United States notes at the treasury department. It is thought bankers in other cities will do likewise. There is a feeling of relief as to the gold balance at the treasury, and un less the exports of gold Saturday are un usually heavy of which no information is yet received the treaury department will have ample gold to supply the de- maud. HOSTILE NATIVES DEFEATED The African Goes Down lie fore Ihe White Blau as Usual. Berlin, March 9. Advice from east Africa state that the German troops nave won an important victory over the hostile natives at Uniangioira. The German forces were composed of white soldiers and native levies. The hostile natives made stubborn resistance, but were defeated after a severe conflict with heavy loss. The German loss included a German sergeant named Fittel. The general of the native soldiers was killed and Lieutenant liothmer was wounded. The defeat has caused general consterna tion among the natives, and it is believed will go far towards suppressing resist ance to German authority. Slxlv One Natal Officers to be Re tired.
