One of the iittorneys for the state stated this .' morning that he did not think they could finish with their witnesses today. This would leave only two days for the defense to get in their testimony and for the .attorneys to ad dress the Jury, and tlie d"fense, ac cording to one of the attorneys, will have as many witnesses us the prose cution. ... The crowd In the court room this -morning was not as largo as it has been, but us the morning advanced the crowd Increased. Dr. Howland and his wife are begin ning to show the strain of the past few days, and when Mrs. Rowland came In this morning she was very pale. Yesterday was a very hard day on all connected with the trial, as it was a warm day and the court room was close and hot. The weather today j has been as warm as yesterday, but II is only during the afternoon when the court room becomes so disagree able. I The attorneys In the case, as Weill as other conenetcd with it, arc hoping that Judge Long will not begin hold ing night sessions, for they are pretty well worn out when night comes, but from what Ills honor said yesterday afternoon night sessions will probably be held.

Along the river from St. Louis to this point there were many bonfires and at some of the larger points display of fireworks. Arriving here, the demonstration was much after the order of that ut St. Louis, though on a smaller scale. After being wel comed by Mayor Parsons, who Intro hand. Replied that ho would not an swer as to the fingers, but would say that an extremely dilute solution of' aconitine rubbed upon the body would cause a .tingling sensation. Dr. Hymn t would not say It was impossible to show there was an' alkaloid there, but I knew of no test by which aconitine could be' found by chemical analysis.

Oct. 3 Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt officially announced today the engagement of her daughter Gladys, one of the richest young heiresses In till America, to Count Laszio S.echenyl, a poor nobleman of ..Ilmla Pest, who is a guest of the young woman's mother at Newport. .Miss Vanderbilt has been known for 'years as the ''American sphinx," for '.'notwithstanding she had been re ported engaged many times Bhe would not deny or confirm the ru mors. The confirmation of: the rumor which has been given little or no credence will cause great astonish ment in the social Centers of the world, for Miss Vanderbilt,' who in herited $12, non, OdO upon the death of her father, has been the goal of fortune-hunters throughout every state in the. union, as well as every foreign province' in tho world. Since her father's death her fortune has In creased to at least $15,000,000 She had been at various times re ported engaged to . young Robert Walton Goelet, himself worth more than '.. $5',000, 000, aR well as to tha sons of other prominent and social ly eminent Americans of aristocratic blood and to British noblemen. In the man she has selected to aid in the spending of the great Vander bilt fortune the family has won little except association with the Szecheny'g who have been identified with the political fortunes of Austria-Hungary for a century past. The count brings with him little save the breeding; of a gentleman and the reputation , of having once fought a duel. An interesting coincidence in con nection with this was that his antago nist was Aurel Batonyi, who is being sued by his wife, the former Mrs. Iiiirke-Roche, for a divorce.
