Corbett is now on trial before Judge Phillips in the Criminal Court of this city, for engaging in the prize fight with Charles Mitchell on the 25th of last January. If Corbett is found guilty then Mitchell will be tried, and after the .En glishman has been disposed of J. E. T. owden, late manager of the Duval Ath letic Club, Harry Mason, president of the Athletic Club, Joe Vendig and Louis Bibler will be tried on a charge of aiding and abetting the fight. Court opened at 9:30 a. m., and long before that time there was a large crowd of people gathered about the court house. Corbett arrived at the court about 9 o'clock, accompanied by his manager, William A. Brady. A majority of the people about the court house were either sports or those who like to follow in the wake of the sporting gentry. When Corbett arrived and pushed through the crowd he was slightly cheered. At 9:30 o'clock Judge Phillips arrived and court was called to order. Just after the judge had taken his seat on the bench Mitchell, accompanied by his man ager, Billy Thompson, arrived. They took seats near Corbett and Brady. John E. Hartridge, attorney for the club, here rose and stated that he waived the arraignment of Corbett and entered a plea of not guilty. Solicitor Christie then read the indict ment, after which the work of empanel ling a jury was begun. This was the oc casion of much sparring between the at torneys, one side or the other objecting to nearly every candidate for the jury box. Finally the six men, that number only being required by Florida law in misdemeanor cases, were secured. Two of the jurors axe negroes and four of them are from the rural districts of Du val county. At this point court adjourned for dinner. When court convened in the afternoon the examination of witnesses was begun. Sheriff Broward, City Attorney Barrs Judge Baker and many others were in troduced by the State. They all testi fied as to the events preceding the ngnt, and as to what happened in the arena on the day of the fight. The State established the fact that the fight was by "previous appointment," a contest forbidden by Florida law, but did not fare. so well when an attempt was made to establish malice. The wit nesses all testified that Corbett seemed good-natured during the three sounds, save at one timeand that was when he fouled Mitchell. When court adjourned in the afternoon the State still had sev eral witnesses to examine. It is understood that Richard K. Fox, of New York, will be tbe only witness offered by the defense. He will be intro duced as a witness to prove that glove contents oanaot be brutal. The trial will be continued to-morrow. " Attorney General Lamar, while not taking an active part in the trial, is here watching the interests of the State. The Impression left by to-day's developments is tbat conviction is impossible. In fact there were certain phases of the trial to day that savored of the farcical. If, however, a conviction is secured the cases will go to Judge Call on appeal and in him the sports feel that they have a friend at court. Corbett went over to St. Augustine to night, where he will give an exhibition. He will return in the morning.

Feb. 28 To-day'sIdebaU in the Reichstag on the German-Russian treaty was very exciting. Dr. Von Bcn nigsen, the leader of the National Lib erals, having made a speech yesterday in which he reflected on the Richter Radi cals, Eugene Richter rose to reply to him to-day. He began with a violent assault upon Von Bennigsen and his remarks to the end bristled with personalities. He denounced the assertion that he and his colleagues were and had been opposed to the government ever since 1370 as false. Opposition of the radicals to the govern ment, he said, had been confined to resist ing curtailment of the constitutional right of the German States in tbe Reichstag whenever such attempts had been made. He deplored the spectacle of Von Ben nigsen defending the Conservative aris tocracy, whichj" he said, had proved itself unable to fulfil the demands Of modern times or meet the requirements of the people. The Richterites, he claimed, had closed their ranks and stood firm in the support of the govern ment, whereas the Conservative and Clerical divisions were wholly responsi ble for the existing doubt as to the fate of the treaty. Herr Lieber said that a portion of the Clerical party believed that the rejection of the treaty would be a national dis aster, nevertheless, other of the party opposed the measure avowedly because they believed its operations would be more advantageous to Russia than to Germany.

When brought into court Donjan told Judge Morris that he needed no counsel and that he wanted Vice President Ste venson, Senator Sherman and several others summoned aa witnesses. This re quest was refused. The postal card ad dressed to Vice President Stevenson was mailed in Baltimore on December 20 last and reads: " DOOKSDAY.

Positive That Gladstone Will Retire. London, Feb. 28 The Edinburg Evening News emphasizes its assertions that Mr. Gladstone will retire, and says p eitively that, the Earl of Rosebery will succeed him as Premier. The 8;. James Gazette says that the already widely publishedcommentsupon the statements made have diminished the weight of the official denials. Gladstone Saw the Qaaen, bat Did Net Resign. London, Feb 28 The Central News bulletins make the statement that Mr. Gladstone drove from Downing street to Buckingham Palace at 3 o'clock and had an audience of an hour's duration with Queen. He did not tender his resigna tion. That Mr. Gladstone's eyesight has grown so much worse that an operation will soon be necessary almost everybody believes, and it is understood that he in formed his collesgues that for this reason he would be compelled to retire though he hoped his retirement would only be temporary. The Liberal papers insist that in the event of his retirement home rule will survive, but the Conservative papers take the opposite view. The Times declares that home rule will be dropped no mat ter who may become the Liberal leader and expresses the belief that neither Lord Kosebery nor Sir Wan am iiarcourt will be likely to take it up. Will Home Bale Be Dropped With Glad stone' Retirement? London, Feb. 28 Mr. Gladstone is understood to have made a proposal to his colleagues to revive the home rule question in the shape of a resolution pledging the House of Commons to deal with home rule for Ireland at this ses sion of Parliament. This proposal is said not to have found favor with the cabinet ministers. The Independent, of Dublin, accepts the reports of Mr. Gladstone's retirement as meaning that the movement in favor of home rule will be dropped. The Freeman's Journal party will con tinue to insist that the settlement of the Irish question is to be the controlling aim of whatever minis tery governs. Cheap Bates to California Over the South ern Pacific. Houston, Tex., Feb. 28. The war be tween the Soutnern Pacific and the Atchison on California business took an other lively turn to-day. The slash in rates announced by General Passenger Agent Keenan, of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe, as a part of the Atchison sys tem, has been met by the lowest rates to California points on the Southern Pacific that the oldest railroad men can recall. A circular was issued by Assistant General Passenger Agent Parks to-day authorizing a one-way rate of $20 from Houston to San Francisco and other named points in California. The round-trip rate was placed at $35 50. A rate of $20 to Ban Francisco means a reduction of $33 25 at one swoop, as the former one-way rate was $52 25. The round trip rate was for merly $65 50 Bo travelers taking ad vantage of this reduction to $35 50 will make a saving of exactly $30. General Starry Gradually SUakias;.

Its Blso and Pregra It la Still oa Trial ta Waaa Superior Ooart Holden Pat Turner la JafI and the Latter Baod for Damages One Jadjrment and Oa Non BultAn Old Hearro Found Dead A Hat Manufacturer Wants to Come Among Us Dr.;Black Accepts the Presiding Kl darahlp. Special to the Observer. Raleigh, Feb. 28 The suit of Josiah Turner, Jr., against Mrs-.L. V. Hoi den and C. A. Sherwood, administrators of the late Governor B olden, again occu pied the time of the Superior Court here to day. Your correspondent has obtained the following summary , of the case; In 1870 Turner was arrested m Orange by Kirk's men, acting under the orders of Governor Holden. Turner alleges that he was thrown into a foul prison and denied the ordinary comforts of life such as a chair, towel, basin, etc.; that his place of confinement was inhab ited by a negro under sentence of death, and other "varmints." After Turner was discharged he brought suit against Holden for damages for false imprisonment. Suits were first instituted in Alamance and afterwards in Warren, and finally in Chatham where judgment was rendered in favor of plain tiff for $8,000 and Interest and costs. From this judgment the defendant, Hol den, appealed to the Supreme Court. Be fore the matter was argued in the Su preme Court, the case was, by consent, remanded to Chatham court, in order that the case on appeal might be prop erly Etated by Judge Buxton, who tried the cause, Turner claiming that the case as sent up, did not do him justice. The case was accordingly sent back to Chatham and there placed on the trial docket, where it remained in statu quo until spring term, 1886, of said court, when Hon. waiter Clark, tne judge men presiding:, ordered a indnient of non suit to be entered, the plaintiff Turner having failed to prosecute his action in due time as required by law. In 1889 Turner again instituted mit against Hoi den, this time In Wafce superior uourt, his action being based upon the Chatham county judgment. In the meantime Holden b counsel bad botn died and Holden was non compos mentis, sj th-' when his wife employed other counsel to defend him he did not remember enough or take sufficient interest in the matter to inform the new counsel of the judgment of non-suit in Chatham. As nei ther they nor Mrs. Holden was aware of the Chatham judgment of non-suit. Tur ner recovered anotner judgment in waxe court in 1889, for about $13,000. with in terest on $8,000 and costs. Holden was then insolvent. He died in March, 1892, and C. A. Sherwood, his administrator, filed a nominal bond of $50. Although Gov. Holden had no property at the time of his death, yet in October and No vera ber, 1869, he bad made his wife a present of $30,000 in United States bonds Turner was aware of this fact and claims that the gift was void, as it was made by Holden in order that he might not be troubled by suits growing out of his Kirk war trs re actions. Turner claims that up to the timeof Holden' s death tbe latter exer cised control over the bonds and the pro ceeds of the same were used for his ease and comfort and the support of his fam ily, just as if they had never been given to bis wife. Mrs. Holden, on the contrary, alleges that Gov. Holden retained sufficient property, at tbe time he made her the present of $30,000, to meet all his debts and liabilities. She claimed furthermore that she has at all times had absolute control of the bonds and used them in any manner she de sired, without the advice or consent of the Governor ; that she always consider ed them her property absolutely, and that Holden never interfered with her dominion in any way. Tbe caption of the present suit is Josiah Turner in behalf of himself and others, &c,vs. Mrs. S. V. Holden and C. A. Sherwood, administrators of W W. Holden. deceased," and is brought by the plaintiff for the purpose of recovering the amount of his judgment against Holden out of the $oX),U00 bonds, a large portion of the proceeds of which arB still held by Mrs. Holden in various shapes. There is an interesting fact in connection with these bonds and a cer tain Raleigh bank, the charter of which has since expired. Upon the occasion of a bank examiner's visit here he found this bank in bad shape and informed the officers that unless they could show a certain amount of assets by the next morning he would be compelled to forbid them to re open. The cashier, in com pany witn a distinguished government official, went to see Mrs Holden and borrowed her $30,000 of bonds for sixty days, giving a mortgage on certain real estate in Raleigh and elsewhere to secure the loan. The bonds were ia the bank next morning and thus a crisis was tided over. At the end of the sixty days the bonds were returned and the mortgage satisfied, record of which appears in the office of the register of deeds of Wake. JSarly this morning the body of Robert Morse, a negro 50 years of age, was found in the squalid room in which he lived. The man was last seen Monday afternoon. The body was partially in a fireplace, and the hands were burned Blood was under the body, and it ap peared quite evident that the man had had a hemorrhage. There were some sensational reports that a negro was seen at the house Monday night and last night, and would not answer when called. Two convicts were brough to the pen itentiary to-day from Catawba county. Mr. T. K. ttruner tells me be naa a letter from a Pennsylvanian of 23 years' experience as a hat manufacturer and who wishes to estaDiian tnat business in North Carolina. Here is a chance for an enterprise.

Jy at Boa aad the TartO Bill Bo-Coa-mljttad ta the Committee Without Instructions A Fronoelttoa ta Protect Ooat Voted Down, 17 ta 19. Washington, Feb. 28. After spend ing the better part of three days in a caucus on the tariff bill, the Democratic Senators this afternoon sent the bill back to the finance committee without ex pressed but with strongly implied in structions to amend it according to the consensus of opinion as expressed dur ing the discussion. "No dictation was made to the committee as to what ar ticles should be put on the dutiable list, nor were any rates suggested, the com mittee being left free to exercise its own judgment in the light of what has transpired during the past three days.- Tbe only effort made to secure an expression by vote on any special schedule was made this afternoon by Mr. Pugh on iron ore and that re sulted in an endorsement although by an exceedingly small majority of the committee's action. Mr. Pugh moved that iron ore be changed from the free to the dutiable list and on a yea and nay vote this proposition was defeated by a vote of 19 to 17. The bill is again in the hands of the Democrats of the finance committee and an effort will be made to have it repaired in time to lay before the full committee on finance by Saturday or, latest, Monday morning. There will probably not be another caucus, but, in order to provide for emergencies, Mr. Gorman has been given authority to issue a call if he thinks it best. When thecaucus adjourned last night all the States had been called and those Senators who desired to speak had been given the opportunity. In this call Ala bama, California and Maryland were passed over at the request of the Sena tors. This morning Mr. White, of Cali fornia, consumed almost all the time in a discussion of the fruit schedule and other items affecting the Pacific slope, in the reduction of which, he contended his country had been unfairly treated. When Mr. White had concluded, the hoar for the convening of the Senate had arrived and an adjournment was taken without anything of interest hav ing occurred. A great deal of tbe ceucus work was prosecuted without regard to the session of the Senate. The Democratic members of the finance committee went at once to Mr. Voorhees' room, where they were followed by the conservative-, Hill, Murphy, Smith, Brice, Gor man, Caffery aad White, of Louisiana A further conference was held in this committee room for almost two hours, these gentlemen insisting that changes be made in the direction of increased duties on many of the schedules in which their constituents were interested. No compromises were suggested by the committee, but the promise was made them that the matters presented should receive careful attention. Mr. Murphy was also heard by the finance on rami-tee in behalf of the collars and cuffs indus try of his State, and Mr. Murphy, as a result of this conference, has hopes that the committee will see its way clear to add largely to the duty fixed by the House bill on these articles Mr. Gorman was among the first speak ers at the afternoon session. His speech was very diplomatic in character, aad was a strong plea for Democrats to har monize and get together. Mr. Gormtn was questioned closely by a number c f Senators and in response said it was ap parent that some concessions must be made. Referring to the income tax, Mr. Gorman expressed his bitter opposition to that tax. It was, he said, un-Demo-cratic and against Democratic ideas. He hoped it would be stricken from the bill 1 but if it was not, he said he would, as he expressed it, " swallow the dose," bn' assured his colleagues that it would be the " bitterest dose he had yet been com pelled to take." Mr. Pugh made a speech favoring a duty on iron ore and told what would occur to the sew industries in Alabama if this was left on the free list. Mr. Pugh went further than the other Senators and insisted that some expressions be had on this proposition- Accordingly he moved that the committee be directed to put iron ore on the dutiable list, "the same as coal," which was accepted to mean 50 cents a ton. On a yea and nay vote this was de feated by a vote of 19 to 17, Mr Hill not voting. Mr. Pugh then said that inasmuch as the vote was so close and some Senators were absent he did not feel bound by the vote and. reserved the right to offer an amendment to the bill when it came into the 8enate. Some comment waa made on the heavy cut made in the glass schedule. This schedule was cut deeply ia the House and the Senate committee has still furth er reduced that duty by one half. The metal schedule has also been reduced but not to so great an extent. Contrary to general report whiskey has been mentioned only in the most inci dental manner and no action suggested in any way. The internal revenue fea tures of the bill have been apparently lost sight of. The consensus of opinion among Senators appear to be that whiskey may get an amendment of 10 cents without any extension of the bonded period. The very strong belief is that the bill when reported will have sugar on the dutiable list at eight-tenths of a cent a pound for all sugar up to 80 degrees by the polar -iscopic test, and increasing one one-hundredth of a cent for each additional de gree. This is the original proposition submitted by the committee but the big fight was over the addition wanted on refined sugar. The explanation was made to-day that under this duty the re finer would get between one-tenth and one-eighth of a cent the best of it. The action of Mr. Pugh in forcing a vote on iron ore, and then declining to be bound by it, led to the conclusion that it would be impossible for the cau cus to accomplish anything definite, and the motion to re-commit the bill to the full Democratic membership of the finance committee, "to shape it in ac cordance with the views expressed and to harmonize the differences," was made by Mr. Voorhees. This motion was carried without oppo sition . There was no resolution nor any specific instructions. The question of what shall, or shall not, De autiabie or what the vote shall be is still open. One Senator who took a prominent part in the caucus explained the meaning of this action to be a notice to the committee that they had made a bill that could not pass and must now proceed, in the light of what they had heard, to construct a bill that could pass. It does not go to the sub-committee but to the full democratic membership and the attempt will be made ta lay it, thus changed, before the Republican members at a special meet ing Monday, at the latest, with the hope of being able to report it to the Senate Tuesday morning. The majority of the finance committee will work day and night from now until they have finished the bill. It is understood that the "conservative" element will not be content to have the bill reported until it shall have been Submitted to a further caucus. : A prominent Senator is authority for the statement that this protracted caucus has been characterized by the utmost good feeling, save the one speech of Mr White, of Louisiana, who is said to have attacked the members of the committee bitterly and called forth a couple of sharp i replies rxom sir. vest ana mc yoornees. PtTCHBB nVMABB DAD. A rased v la Which He aa a Woasa sf a Yaeatrleal Troaao Aro Shot. PrrrsBtntG, Pa., Feb 28 A terrib'e tragedy was enacted at the Hotel Eiffel 1 at 508 Smlthfield street at 8:30 o'clock to-night from which Pitchet McNabb, of the Baltimore dab, is dead and Louise Kellogg will likely die from the result of the wounds received from a -pistol ia tbe hands of McNabb. Louise Kellogg was a member of th Alvia Joalyn Theatric tl Company and came here from New York to-day. She met McNabb a short time before 8:30 on j Fifth avenue to-night, and theyjboth went to the Hotel Xiffell where a room was engaged- - A young man named Gillen, a friend of both McNabb and the Kellogg womas, went up to their room about 8:80 to call on them. He he trd the woman groan ing and called for help. As it is right across from the city hail Inspector Mo Kelvy and severs1 fficera were foa on the scene. The door was burst open and a bloody sight met their gaze. On tbe floor lay the woman with three bul let wounds in her head and neck. Mc Nabb waa lying beside her with two shots through the head.that had killer' him almost instantly. The woman was taken to tbe homeo pathetic hospital She can hard.y re cover. McNsbb's body was removed to the morgue. There waa a fire a few doers above the hotel at the time McNabb did the' shooting. This caused much excite' ment in the vicinity and the hotel peo ple did not even hear the shots fired. Mc Nabb evidently meant murder when be went to the room for he waa only there a short time before he did the shooting. Louise Kelloggs right name is Mrs R. S. Rockwell, and she has a husband liv ing at Seattlo, WasH Kellogg wa he stage name. Her parents live at Brad dock near this city. Unless she regains consciousness the canse of the shooting may never be known. BBAZIL KLKOTIOaT A Strange Political Campaign la that Agitated Bepnblio. Copyright, I89i, by the United Press. Rio de Janbibo, Feb. 28. All pre parations for the presidential election for to-morrow are completed. To Amer ican eyes the campaign has appeared peculiarly queer and devoid of popular interest. The nominations have been made known mainly by advertise ments in the newspapers. There has been little argument in favor ,of any candidate. Every man who ha been "med fr the preel'Vncv or vice presidency has been praised immoder ately by friendly journals. No news paper has disparaged any candidate. The questions of natiosal policy have been hardly mentioned, and few persons know or care what lines of action the candidates are ready to pledge themselves to. There have been no processions, no stump speeches, n) great public meetings, no fireworks. Dr. Prudente N arses, president of the Senate, and Jex-President ef Sao Paulo Province, is the leading candidate for the Presidency of the Republic. Even the journal whose insurgent editor was forced to flee from the city, supports him. Much suprise has been caused by the appearance of ex-Minister Buy Barboca's name in the list of candidates He was supposed previously to be still loyal to tne insurgents out nis candidacy is re garded as evidence that be has forsaken their cause. He was the financial agent of the insurgent government and his de fection, if accomplished, will be a heavy blow tq Mello and Da Gama. GKOBGLA CgWTRAL LITIGATION. Creditors Girea the Bight to Deposit Their Claims by Judge Laeombe. Naw York, Feb. 28. H B Collins & Company; Kuhn, Loeb & Company; the Mercantile Trust Company; the Equit able Life Assurance Society; the Knick erbocker Trust Company and Lehman Brothers to-day presented a peti tion to Judge Laeombe in the United States Circuit Court asking that an attachment issued in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against the Central Railroad and Bank ing Company of Georgia in a suit brought by F.

It had been agreed between the pe titioners and the railroad company be fore the writ was issued that all the bond;, stock and collateral securltiet pledged might be so held for the benefis of creditors, and it is held that such re bate is a lien superior to any attachment. Judge Laeombe entered an order giving the creditors the right to so deposit their claims, provided that all the property so held i a pledge by the Mercantile Trust Company be bound by the attachment, but reserving to the petitioners all prior rights.

They had a quorum but missed one on the test vote of adopting the re port from the committee on rules to bring oa the main question. After two hours' debate, Mr. Reed glowered when he saw a quorum was obtained and broke Into the midst of a roll call with n un tenable objection.

Representative Henderson ssys there is no change yet in the situation of inter nal revenue affairs. -. George W. Knott was to-day nominated to be postmaster at Oxford. Representative Shell gives the reason to-day why he does not permit his friends tousehii name in the guberna torial contest. He says: MI made pledges that I would not, and as I keep my word I cannot consent to be a candidate. More than that, I cannot accept the nom ination. It will not do for a publio man to pledge himself to do or not do any thing and then violate his plighted faith. My enemies would say, if I stood oft and let my zealous friends who wish to nomi nate me for Governor accomplish that result, that I was only humbugging; that I meant all the while to be in the fight and only screened myself behind a pre tended denial that I was a candidate, r I am not only not a candidate for that high office, but I have pledged my word not to be in the contest at all as a candidate at any stage." J Messrs. Meares, of Hillsboro. .sales men, travel all through North l arollna in the line of their business. One of them says: 'I find our people in " bet ter condition, commercially speaking, than In several years. They have taken the advice of the newspapers and made their own supplies as far as possible, and applied economy to all their opera tions as never before. The result is gratifying. While there Is not a great deal of mosey, there is less use for It than formerly. The farmers are gener ally self-sustaining. The merchants and manufacturers need money . in some towns for carrying on their business, and there has been generally something of a pinch for. ready money. But' the bank failures are confined to few towns, and these banks, for the most part, have resumed business. Altogether our people are in good shape, and the outlook for the future is excellent.
