DEFENSE VIRTUALLY GIVING UP.
oaael Related to Fat Iiffe and Kill
tther on the Stand,
Conasel for E. Kiiifeather and I. H.
Ie5e, on trial for conspiring to corrupt
ly influence a petit jury, and for can
Epirine to deiraud the United States by
endeavorinc to secure an exorbitant ver
dict in the Cehlo boat railway right-of-way
condemnation proceedings, virtu
ally threw up the sponge yesterday, in
.refusing to put the defendants on the
etand. Since J. W. Walker entered a
plea of guilty, the defendants have bad
bet little ground to stand on, and this
has been demonstrated by the tactics
pursued by their counsel.
The greater part of yesterday aitei-
3ioon was devoted to the testimony of C. ,
fi. Brattan. the iaror who first confessed
to the crime of having accepted a bribe
from TaSe, and J. W. Walter, whose
plea of guilty created consternation in
the camp of the defense at the opening
of court yesterday morning. Erattan
again rehearsed the details of hie meet
ing with Taffe, Walker and KillfeatLer
in the back room of a saloon, and to the
agreement entered into by him with
Killfeather and Taffe to use their influ
ence to secure a large verdict in consid
eration of 15000,
Walker is the man who brought Taffe,
the alleged bribe-eLver, and Brattan
and EiHfeatber, the alleged bribe-takers, !
together. He drew, up the notes that
operated as a contingent consideration
and in a general way engineer the deal.
Hi; teetimocy, though varying in de
tails, was largely in corroboration of the
Etory told by Brattan.
Before the attornevs commenced with
their argument, the court ruled that the
objection to the first count in the indict-:
' . . .,
ment alleging conspiracy to corruptly:
influence a jury would be sustained, and ;
teat consequently mis cnarge neea not :
l considered by the jury. Judge Julius I
G. Moreland made the opening argu
ment on behalf of the government. He
was followed by Attorney Bufus Mai
lory for the defense, and United States
Attorney H&ll will conclude the argu
ment In behalf of the prosecution.

WHERE NOAH GOT HIS PITCH.
"aturl Spring Which Enables! Him to
Slake th Ark "Water TlRht.
An Enrlish explorer has recently
reached Hit, in Syria, the locality in
which oah dwelt. Here he found a
remarka-ble croup of bitumen spnncs.
says the New York Journal.
From these sprincs. he say?, it is
probable that foah obtained his supply
of material to "pitch it within and with
out." In a basin, undoubtedly of vol
canic origin, a spring of warm water
bubbles up. and with the water come-,
the bitumen or pitch, in a plastic form,
of the consistency of rather moist put
ty: and the Arabs rather it by simply
scrapinr it o2 the surface of the water
with their bare hands and pressing it
into panniers carried by patient little
donkeys, who then struggle up the
rocky sides of the basin and tak the
material off to the boat-building yards,
where it is used for covering the boats
tad gouphas. after undergoing a cer
tain reSning process.
The "bitumen is continually rising,
but owing to the formation of the basin
into which it rises with th; stream
very little of it can escape, and it re
mains floating on the surface of the wa
ter till taken off by the Arab. The wa
ter itself tastes slightly of sulphur, is
quite w-arm and apparently charged
with some mineral which it deposits
in its rocky bed as it flows away
through channel and crevices which
the "bitumen cannot pas') from the
basin, coating it with a lovely lilae
color, which further down the stream
becomes a "peacock" blue.

The Fop Instated That a Nude Statue Be

One cf the most curious instances
of the struggle between art and pro

A MECHANICAL HORROR.
The Hour of the Day struck Off by Grin

"Machinery" is a monthly journa'
published at Johannesburg, South Afri
ca. In a recent number is an -.ccour
of a rnoit remarkable clock belonging
to a Hindoo prince which th x:,t.
thinks the strangest piece of mcl ni -
in India. Near the dial of an ord ua-v
looking clock is a large gong Ldi.g or
poles, while underneath, scat tired
the ground, is a pile of artincia' skultv
ribs, legs and arms, the whole nuilx "
of botR-s in the pile being equa' to the
r -amber of bones in 1" human sk"i tor.v
When the hands of the clock ind.ca t
the hour of one, the number of lwnes
needed to form a complete human
skeleton come together with a rnap.
by some mechanical contrivance th'
skeleton springs rp. seizes a mallet ac
walking up to the gong, strikes or.
blow. This nnihed. it return" to th
pile and again falls to p'eces. When
two o'clock, two skeletons tret up and
strike, while at the hours of noon at--.!
midnight the entire heap spr'nr up
in the shape of 12 skeletons and strike,
each one after the other, a blow on th
gong, and then fall to pieces, a Iwfor'-.
PIN FEATHERS.
The roosts should be low, especially
for large, heavy fowls, and should ail
be of the same height.
When the hens stop laying perhaps
they can be started again by changing
the feed. Give less grain a:sd more meat
wild skim milk.
Turkeys must have a good range to
be profitable. They are bus: eaters by
nature, and must hate a rood stretch of
territory to forage in order to do well.
The revival of activity in the poultry
business is ratifying, and its trood ef
fects are shown in the energy with
which enthusiastic poultrymen are tak
ing hold of shows and exhibitions and
pushing them to success.
Chickens must have grit, and they
seem to like a variety. Glass is qnite a
dainty for them and they will swallow
large pieces. Pounded glass is as good
a grit as ounded oyster shell and makes
a pleasing variety.
