It was the original intention that the board of trade should invest $ f > 0,000 or § 100,000 in the now house and that the balance of the money required be subscribed by the members individually.

The excited mob learning this , captured the Mountain Girl and started in hot pursuit. The Mountain Boy passed here with the prisoners about SJ p. in. When the Mountain Girl reached Ashland the mob left her for the purpose of taking a train to head oil' the Mountain Hey at the nearest point below here. A.SHLANI > , January 0. Over 2,000 people gathered at the Ashland wharf to see the prisoners brought oil , but they were out of sight down the river before tlio people were aware of the situation , The crowd was indignant that the trial was thus postponed and a committee was appointed which demanded of Judge Brown that the prisoners he brought back iiiime- diiitely. The mob failed to obtain a train at this point , nnd so went no fuither. The Mountain Boy kept on down the river until she met the .steamer with Iho state militia. The prisoners were then conveyed to Mnyivillu under guard , nntl there will bo no more at tempts at lynching. The .nob claim that they had simply wished to see fair play. THE END APPROACHING. ThoMnrdror' * Friend * Abandon All Hopo. Thinking Qaltonn Will bo Summarily Hiutgod. "I think , " said District Attorney Corkhill to-night , "that the case will go to the jury this week and that a verdict of guilty will bo rendered by them before next week. I do not think that Judge Cox , or nny ether judge would , on the facts that can bo laid before him , grant a now trial to the miserable wretch , and I do not think there is anything in the case for the court in bane to review , and I think the case against the assassin is so strong that the jury will not need much time in which to make up their miiida , and think the after proceed ings will bo short and sharp. There will bo , rest assured , no unnecessary delay. " Mr. Davidgosaid : "It is n complete break down on the part of the defence. Did you over see suck a weak defense and such a strong case for the prosecution in any criminal case ? It is marvelous. Wo have been greeted with surprises al most every day throughout the trial. We were informed in mysterious an nouncements through the press before the trial of the wonderful strength of the dufonso. We have seen day by day nothing save the unfolding of its wonderful weakness. It is at an end now , and there will bo nothing more worth talking about. We shall have the speeches ( presumably ono from the assassin , since ho wants to speak and his friends do not deny him any * thing he wants ) , the Charge and the verdict-are following clbsoly upon the heels of the other. I think the ques tion of jurisdiction will bo raised , but there is nothing in that. I have ex amined it very carefully , and that is my deliberate judgment. It was founded on a very narrow tie , and not well founded on that. I find as I grow older that the tendency of iho law is to narrow rather than enlarge a man. Ho bocamos in many cases a squibbior , Ttiis point in the juris diction was iho creation of such an one. It will not impede the march of justice. " "THK END OK TUB UUKAT TIIAOBDV is here , " said Judge Porter. "Tho man who inflicted death on the presi dent of the United States will soon sutler death at the sentence of the law. The ease is practically at an end. You see now all the facts thai. will bo presented. You know how strong our case is how weak theirs is. You know that wo have proved him a sane and responsible murderer , and that ho will soon hang for it. 1 do not entertain any doubt that the jury will convict , and convict under instructions from the court. The cai > ci is just as plain as the none on u man's face. " Wilson Guiteau reiterated what lie had said to your correspondent h at week , to the effect that his brother would bo convicted , sentenced and liung within the month. Ho knows that Iteod and Scovillo believe tlio 3aso almost hopeless. Only Guiteau liiniBolf has even the semblance of hope. A Blaott HHU UxorioidB.

Then , ( hiding the body and becoming alarm ed he sought out Mr. Shbuli. The jury , after a brief deliberation , re turned a verdict that the itecoased came to her death by the hands of her husband. Dundon was taken be fore Juntice Hall , where ho waived examination and wns lodged in jail Since iho arrival of John Marr , who f.wont to the scone of the tragedy uitha son of the murdered woman , a Pioneer re porter gathered tjio follow ing facts in regard to the statement of the dread ful all'air as made by the murderer : "On Sunday I wont to Dig Shoun's and got two bottles of whisky nnd some canned goods. I went homo and gave it to thn old woman at the door , and then I went mid put out the pony. I went to the house and stayed around awhile , and then 1 went out to look after some cattle , nnd when I came back the old woman was dead. " Tlnso to whom ho told the story , said , "That's too thin. " Ho then gave another version. Ho sr.id , "I got home , and pretty soon I wont to bed and wont to sleep , and after a while I waked up and I said , 'Mary Ann , why don't you como to bed'1 She didn t answer , and I got up and tried to lift her on the bed , but she was too heavy , and then 1 found out that she was dead. " Since making the two contradictory statements , the prisoner tins preserved a silence , and says nothing whatever about the matter , and hai apparently been far more concerned about what was to become of his property than anything else.
