Jtitlco Van Ilrunt, with twolvii trusty Jury- men to liolp hint, anJ a crowd of Inwyers to lilm. nil presided oor by the ruollow-voice- d Hilly Ulckott.i, sot out yesterday to do what was proper about tlio murdor of Tom Bavin. Jatuos T. Holland, the little Texan who did tho dood. and who was to be tried, was on hand, of course, with a vigilant Sheriff oloss bohlnd hlra and admiring friends all , around him. Tlio frlonds. of whom there were i a dozen, shook hands with him very earnestly KA iii Boon na bo npponrod. to show to tho jury T " ri.iw much thoy honored nnd respected him, whllo his lawrors wont into ipasms of homage, sympathy, and friendship. All this Inspired not only tho jury, but outsider?, too, with ureat admiration nnd rovcronco, Tho touclis oven, who Bwarmed eugorly into court until Hilly lticketta shut down on them, dolguod to speak kindly ot tho small Texan with nn Adam's apple almost as big an his head, who had had the nerve to kill a mnn Ilka Tom Davis, nnd thoy were destined to pour forth oven creator praise when the weapon with Which the deed was done should bo shown them. The first thing nttor Billy ltlckotts had told all those having business with bis court to oome forward was for Clerk Walsh, who shams with lllcknits tho business ot running things in Oyer and Termlnor. to call out alt tho minim of thojumnoii. 'J'liuy weroall thore. and lino nnd handsome jury they worn. Isaac Lichtiinstaln. n young man with beauti- ful cboeks. who douls In fancy goods, was a reve- lation In ihe way of dies., and could not have boen llxod up moroofteotively if ho had hail to try a charming llttlo Toxan murderess. Ills high white collar, dazzling satin scarf, and still more dazllng diamond pin wnro objects to I which weurvevos tunic J tor roliof nil during t4 m tho day. Three Bibles wero passed to the 'i(U twelve jurymen, some swore nnd kissed the &' lilblus, others who didn't caro for thoui raised a linnd and nMrmod. Holland said he was I romly, nnd business was begun. I There woie threo lawyers looking out after Jt the interests of justice and of tlio people, all ) chiirmliiL' men nnd each representing a certain If degree of plumpness Col. Follows, ruther 1 plump; District Attorney Mnrtino, very plump; I and Asstiint District Attornuy I''ltzgoruld, middling plump. It fell to tho lot of Mr. Fitzgerald to open tho ball. Ho couched, uroie. Hied a glance of withering contempt on tlin little Texan, turned eyes ot pleading supplication upon tlinjuiy, and then begun to recite to them in words of burning eloquence the story of the grent wrong which tho little Texan with the big Adam's ap- ple had done to t tin peoplo of tho Suite of i'hw York, and also toTotu Davis, in killing Tom. Ho told tho jury tho Rtoryol the murderwhlch Tits Bus and Its contemporaries had told to those gentleman long before. Hut tbny listened with Interest, spell bound by his fiery oloituence. Tho story of tho shooting of Tom. who was un- armed, and nn Imitation of the thud which he made in falling, drew tears nud a pocket hand-knrchi- edged with lace from n young woman who sat in a corner. The young woman was dressod in black of tho kind worn by mourn- ers, a heavy black veil came down over hor face, and some one said thut she was Tom Da- vis's second wife. Underneath the veil thorn was iv face that looked very comfortable and homelike, while the curly black bang that wound around the edge of tho widow's bonnet looked soft and subdued through the crape. The stream of Mr, Fitygnrald'a elouuence ran smoothly for awhile, and then it was inter- rupted for a long timo. Sir. Fitzgerald ex- plained just how the people wero going to get the bulgo on that small Texan. Ho knew all tho while, according to ttio pooplo's theory, that Tom Davis would lay before him genuine money. Instead of the pretended counterfeits. He went there with n big revolver, and with the firm determination to got that money by force. Consequently, when bo shot Tom Davis, ho was In the act of committing a felony; therefore it would be vain tor him to set up or any weak excuse of that sort ; tho people would have a perfect right to hang him anyhow. At this the llttlo Texan lookeu annoyed, while his lawyers bristled right up and fought. They said that tho Indlctraont wits for murder; nothing was said about its being done in the Mtot committing a felony, and so that could not be drugged in. r iSVNsS.

Instantly thorowas a delving into brown books, a series of appeals to the Judgo. and a rending of docislons expressive of wisdom dead and burled that lasted almost two hours. At last Judge Van Brunt told tho peoplo to go ahead, nnd that tho Court would docldo later. The people wound up und every- body wont to lunch. There was no fooling In tho socond half at tho spsslon. end no spilling around of legal knowledge. Clerk Welsh lifted bis head from industrious writing and culled for Tho Davis. A big man. with u llercn red fnoo, n mousincho I blackor than n thunder cloud, and tenth so . j i pearly and white as to make an elephant go a K and break oft his tusks from sheer jealousy, climbed up Into tho witness ohalr. That was Tho Davis, tho trusty brother of tho munlsred man, who helped liim In tlin sawdust business, and whoso duty itwns to shift the bagsnt tho critical moment. A lllble wns handed to him. Ho kissed it with fervor, while Clerk Welsh made him swear to be truthful, and then, with Mr. Fitzgerald to drnwhhu our. proceeded to toll nlioutthn killing of bis brother. He told llrst of his brother's business, with a cntra and ijulet air, thut showed It to be in his itimation a d'Tldodly clean and respeotnble ocauputlon. It was tho sawdust business and It whs simple. Tom got customers nnd offered taem counterfoil money. Ho showed thorn good money, got a certain sum from thorn for a mucu larger numbor of counterfeit dollars, and thou through sleight of hand palmed off lawdiiElnr paper upon thorn. When this preliminary was finished, a big map wns luggod out, nnd everybody cored at It oaruustly, while The Davis assumed a school. teaohcr tone, and explained it all to hie jury It was a plan of tho two little rooms Id which lie did business with his brother, and In which his brothor w.is killed, 1 he larger of the t wo rooms, Davis said, wns tio one In which his brother first mot the Texan, who was J,, prmisiit tlmro to do yifv'a ., bn.lr.ess by a man iH8 named llutler.

Ul course ihr waa no old jrontltraio. That was only a way of talking. Butlor " ' He's just stopped out.' " ' Is that so ?' toy brother said, kind of keep- ing up the delusion, nnd then ho said, looking nt tho tuonnv and protending to bo surprised, ' Whnt's this? lint tire these goods fnrV "Oh, that's about flO.OW) that the old man wanted Hhipped to a man namod Myors In Georgia.' 'Thiit's all right.' my brothor said; 'I'll at tend to that. You c.tn go.' " Hero Mr. Fitzgerald broke In to know It thero really was tlo.uuu In the idle. "No."Tho Davis said, "thero wasn't. But there was jiiht $7,(100 of good money, less $1H. When Ilutler went out my brothor began to count tho money, nt tho same time bunding Homo bundles over to Holland to help count. Wnlloitwns being counted my mother went on talking, and tout Holland if ho had a $1 or a !2 or a flu bill with him, to take it nut. com- pare it with tho money ho was counting, nud , sen what a splendid counterfeit it was. Hol- land said: " ' I can't do It: I've loft watch nnd chntn and money nnd overythlng else with my partner at the hotol.' "'All right,' my brothor said, 'you can see lor yourself what It Is.' "Then thoy made tlin ones and twos nnd tens Into tmcknges and tied up into bundles with pieces of twlno, after which my brothur stood up and put ihom awny ln tho vullse." Here .Mr. DaWs's volco got very emotional and tragical indeed. "YWinn It was done." ho wont on, glaring at tho small Toxan, who glared bnck very calmly. "Holland jumped ud, put his back against the wnll, and, pointing a pistol at my brothor. cried out: "Now. you. not In that corner.' "My brother tried to uaeifv him. nnd said: " Now don't get so oxolted, Keep cool. You're no man for nils business, at nil,1 " Hut Hollnnd wouldn't listen to him. ""Get in thut corner,' ho vellod. "Do you hear mo? Get In that coruor and throw up your hands.' "'You wouldn't shoot me. would you?' my brother said. 'See. I'm unarmed.' " Hollnnd never took nwny the pistol that he wns pointing at my brother, and didn't ohango his tone. '"Will you set ln that cornor? Git. git. git.' he cried. " My brothor nover moved from the bag. "'Here, now.' ho said, holding it up, 'you wouldn't shoot a man for that, would you? Tnke the b.ig and go. or let me go.' "As husalil that ho sat sort of sldewnvs on tho desk, with the bug hid behiuirhim. At that minute 1 took the bug of good money awny. nud put the bogus bag in its place. 1 was on my knees. As t changed tho bugs I heard n pl.tol shot und heard somotlilug lull. Then I heard another shot as I got up from my knees. 1 ran out Into the hall nud down stairs with tho bag of good mono. I put It undo! the chair of a bootblack, who had it sort of llttlo hut built out. " Don't givo that to nnyono but me.' 1 said to him. nnd then started to go up stairs to my brother's room. As I did so I met Holland at the door, coning out. 1 didn't know whether to follow him or go up to my brother. I was afraid he would go away, and so ran niter him as ho turned Into West Broadway. At Cham- bers street Holland stopped. I buw an olUcer and said, pointing to Hollnnd: " "Arrest that mnn : ho has just shot a man.' " The policeman arrested him and searched him. nnd found a pistol." At this point Col. Follows appeared boforo the witness with the pistol that did the shooting. It was a ponderous ulTnir. strongly suggestive of a mountain howitzer or a young Kruppgun. "Is that the cannon that was found on him?" Col. Fellows asked. Tho Davis didn't know. It looked bigger to htm nt tho time, he said, and then resumed his tale: ' 1 left tho policeman with Holland nnd ran back to my brother's ofllce. I was baroheadod all the time. I saw my brother lying on the lloor with his faco down, and his head partly leaning on his arm." Tho jury didn't understand what was meant, so D.ivis leaned over on his face and showed them. Thero was n lot of explanation with the diagram ot Tom Davis's po- sition as ho lay on the floor. There wns no ono in tho room so f.ir as he knew but himself, and he only stayed there ten minutes just long enough to pick up his brother's tint, turn him oer. and pick up a small bundle of greenbacks that happened to be lying on tho floor. He wont out and met Holland coming up with the policeman. "I started for a doctor. Davis said, "but changed my mind and came back aftor the bag ot greenbacks. I went then to mv brother's other otllce. at 3115 Broadway." (The otllce whero the shooting occurred was at 113 Houde treet.l Ho did theereenbacka up Into a bundle, he said, jumped on near, rode down to the Now York rmfe Deposit Company, on the corner of ltroadway and Liberty stroet, left the money, and went back to a saloon in Grand street. There he got a drink of whiskey, paid for it, nnd went to the station for a man to arrest Hill, Holland's partner. That onded Davis's story of tho shooting, but tho peoplo, whose witness he is, wanted to go frankly to work and show up what kind ot a witness thoy had. sous to deprive the defence of the luxury of unearthing tho unpleasant facts. "Mr. Davis," asked Mr. Fitzgerald kindly, but tlrmly, " have you ever been arrested ?" " I have," said Mr. Davis, not a bit disturbed.

Then enmo n lone about the working of tho sawdust business and the details of the crime, the dufonce contrasting Davis's testimony at the preliminary exami- nations and his testimony ut the present trial. DavlB had no memory at all for tho things to which ho hud previously sworn. He said his brother gave him a percentage ot tho prmlts. Ilutler was only a messenger: ho didn't know what he got. Ho and his brother never advertised. Others did tho advertising tor them nnd got a percentage of tho prollts derived from all customers who panned out. Ho couldn't say whether or not It wns Dutch Fred who had charge of their ad- vertising dupartment. Ho only know Dutch Fred ns a friend, llnfnre ngnglng In the saw- dust buslnoss he hud boon interested witli his brother lin liquor saloons. Thoy had one on Wonstorlstreei. one on Fell street, and another on the llowory. All wero licensed. Gon, l'ryor nskod Davis when he got his pic- ture out ot tho Itogiies' Gallery, nnd tried to mnko him tell about thut. Davis didn't know tli.nl it ovor was in there. Ho couldn't reiuem-berlwhoth- or not ho had been to the Inspector and got him lo take il out because ho had re- formed. Davis said, oh, yes, ho had bean arrested on other occasions thnn those which ho men- tioned to Mr. ritz-oril- Hn had been arrested foi fast driving, fur being disorderly, and that sort of thing, but not for crime. Jlo had been ar- rested on suspicion of robbing u messenger boy, couldn't say whether he had beoti indicted, and didn't remember what alias lie went under. In fnct. didn't think ho oer went under nnv alias. His brother inner did. He wns not identified in tho case, und it was nolle prossod, Davis snld tho monoy In tho bag was brand now, nud, to prove it, pulled nut a big bundle of ouo and ten dollar bills, wrapped In paper, which ho said be had brought along as n sample. Gon, l'ryor reached for It. but recoiled, and said, giving the jury it lino effect of disgust: "No; you can keop your monoy. I'll not handle It." . Davis did nol feel the sarcasm. "Here." he said, "you'd better tnko it. and make sine it's not counterfeit." Tim Court und crowd laughed. The Judgo examined the money with Interest. It was new and crisp of the issue of 1880. There wuh not a pocket or eien a button on his biotlier's coat, Davis HHid, us ho roue, and, lifting his coat, turned round lo .how tho jury how Tom had shifted his coat to prove to Davis that he was unarmed. He could produce the tailor who in.ido tho coat nnd prove It. Ho said with pride that his brother never moved ftotn tho bag of good money, even if the mountain howitzer was only two foot unity. " Hn may nave lieen afraid, but he wasn't man to show it," Davis said. "If he had, I wouldn't have stayed nut of thore," With Ilia covers of the lllble, Davis illustrat- ed how he tiad worked the panel. He showed no auger when (inn. 1'ri "r accused him of cow- ardice In running on" unit leaving bis brother. He didn't run. be simply put Hie out of danger, as bis brothel had nlwins instructed him lo do, He did not really bellewi at any time that Holland was going to shoot his brother, and scarcely belleed his brother was hurt after ho henrd the shots, lie had so much coulldence In his brother's great coolness and strength, The defence, rejoicing over tho ndmlsslon that Davis did not think that Hollnnd moant to shoot, ceased the about one hour nnd a half later thnn the regular time for closing court.

The most that Mr, Korr would do, liowoer, was to admit that banking money and drawing chocks ngitiiiEt it was a good way, though with Hie reservation that doubtless there wore many respeotabln men who did not look nt it that way. And In this casa thu rates of Interest were so low the ttust compnnles paying only li. per cent. that It wasn't worth while to bothorwith It. It was Mr. Conkllng's turn to bo astonished. When he recovered himself he took Ins revenge by tangling Mr. Keir's mind up In a hard knot aiound nil his incendiary and surprising prop- ositions by n serins of artful questions until he got him down flrxt to the monosyllable "yes" or "no" level, then to seeking relugo lu "I don't know," und finally to whero ho would only trust himself to nods, IIAIll) TO T1IACC $10,000 nilEEN'IlAfKH. In this way the witness was compelled to acknowledge that a great disadvantage about the banking system was the impossibility of money passing through it without leuiing some track or trneo of ita having been them, und of what became of It, though hunlllnned it was a thing be never thought of before, not. withstanding he wns a bank director, lie that when getting the money that was put in tlio sat deposit vaults he had asked for large bills, and a good deal of it, he thought, wus in $10,000 bills.

Hcwto-- , Mnrclt 1 Tho talk of tho hotols Is about n torrlblo thrashing which Tarson Downs gavo a ll reporter at tho I'arker House this evening. Tho ltt has beon Investigating tho parson's record ln other places, notably in Hartford. II, I, Dlllenback is tho reporter who made tho Inquiries ln that city, and knowledge of his movements camo to tho Downs' coterlo of lawyors. This after- noon Lawyer Coffey called at tho ofllce of tho Jt to see tho young man, but he was not in. Tho lawyer left a note requesting Ijllllngback to call at tho I'arker House. Mr. Dllllnback took anothor ranortor with him and callod this evening. The two newspapor mon found Lawyer ColToy, Pastor Downs, nnd a man named Wnrd, who belongs in Hartford. In the rooms designated. Tho presence ot Mr. Dlllenback's friend sooms to havo disconcerted tho others. Mr. Coffey said ha nskod Mr. Dlllenback to call that ho might glvo him a piece ot news for publication. Mr. Dlllenback was ready to hear tho story If It was not too long. Mr. Coffey said It was long, nnd if Mr. Dlllenback had not n plentv of time tho telling of it had bettor be postponed. Mr. DUInnback bad au assignment tbao required attention within an hour, nnd he agreed to meet Mr. Collev The two newspuper meu started off. und had got part way down stairs, when Mr. ColToy leaned over the hHllusters anil called: "Mr. Dlllenback. one second, ploaso." Mr. Dlllenback went back, und his friend waited for him. As soon as ho had got Insldo tho room the door was closed and locked, and l'arsnn Downs planted his chair In front of It. Mr. ColTey then accused Dlllenback of being In lenguo with Downs's enemies nnd with hav- ing used disreputable methods to col- lect evidence ugalnst him. He charged that ho had represented himself as an agent of Downs in Hartford, and thnt ho had thorn offered monoy to induce peoplo to come to llosti m nnd testify against tho clergy- man. Mr. Dilleuback denied tho chargos, but infused to answer questions nskod by the )nw-yo- r. l'astor Downssuddonlylntorruptodwlth: "We're up to your little gumo. young man. Wo know all nbout vou." "Yes," said Lawyer Coffey, wo hav fol- lowed all yout movements and know all about your league with Tuber's counsel and Mr. Downs's other enemlos." Mr. CofTuy continued to discuss what ha con- sidered tho evidence of the continued attacks upon the parson, who has trouble enough to attend to, without having fresli ones to distrnot his mind. Mr. Downs's temper had beon mani- festly rising under tho rehearsal of bis wrongs. Suddenly nnd without a word the clergyman sprang up. crossed tho room like a flash, and administered a stinging slap full In the face of tho newspaper man. When Mr. Dlllenback re- covered Irom his surprise ho warded off a sec- ond blow, nnd then tho parson was seized trora behind bv bis legal advisor, who dragged tho angry minister to n sofa. Dillonback then started for the door. Hn got It open and was half way over tho threshold, when Downs bounced aftor him. The parson first caught him by the collar, then seized him by tho throat, flung him back against tlin wall, and began to choko him. The reporter outsldo sprang to the rescue, and Mr. Downs was sol7ed by two mon. Ho was furious. "Lot mo get at him." he shouted, and suc- ceeded in breaking aw.iy, Iu an Instant he was pounding Dlllenback savagely about the bend. The llrst blow stunned tho reportornnd ho was helpless against tho onslaught. It was all that two men could do to haul off the irate parson, but ho was at length overpowored and the nffray endod. Dlllenback says ho has not decided whether he will prose- cute. T11K VUK8S COS1KHT. Zukertort In the Uaaifl sst lVew s JWTier ihe 4d Move.

Mr. Gllbort recommends that tho consolida- tion of 1884 be nnnullod because it was unfairly capitalized. Tho report is signed by Mr. Gilbert alone. Senators Robinson and Mur- phy concur In tho recommendations and many of tho conclusions of Mr. Ullbort. but not In that part ot Ills report which finds that tho Consolidated Gus Company violated tho law of 1834, and which recommends the repeul of the consolidation. . Tho majority report says there seems to bo great Injustice to tho noonlo in permitting tho valuo of franchises conforred by tho State to form a basis of capitalization for tho purpose of organization us a corporation, nnd thnt consumers of gas should be rsquirod to pay such aprlco for Has would pay tho dlvl-do- upon tho valuo of theso franchises, which are the gifts of ttio people. But It Is a fact that tho law of 18S4. under which these companies consolidated. oxpresBly authorized this to be dono. Tho prico tho for gas may have been too high and the dividends excessive, but they wore not illegnl. and tho valuation of franchises computed upon those dividends cannot be callod viola- tion of n law that expressly authorized it to bo done, unless such valuation was too high. The cotnmitteo havo found nothing In tho Consolidated Company which Is contrary to the law unless them should havo boen nn overvaluation of tho property, nud tho dif- ficulties attending tho determination ot such a fact are bo great that the committee believe any attempt to upset such valuation would be futile. TUB NIAGARA FALLS TRAGEDY. Mr. Marvin Torn. Vis Alive The IdenlltT of the Victim ot Yet iZatsibllahod. Bdfiaxo, March 1 " I am tho liveliest man who evor wont ovor Niagara Falls." said Mr. J. 8. Marvin of Now York in the Tiftt House It wns generally thought that Mr. Marvin was the man who met his death by suicide or accident on tho Ico mound at N- iagara Falls yesterday, and bis absence from his hotol. together with the similarity of de- scriptions, strongly pointed to Mr. Marvin as tho victim of the tragedy. He spent .Sunday visiting friends in Lancaster, near bore, and, as aconseiiuunce, llnd the pleasure of reading his obituary iu'thls afternoon's panor. Messenger Cutrio of tho National Ex- press Company, who saw the occur- rence, said this afternoon that he suw tho man standing on the ice mound. when sud- denly the Ice 'cracked and he was thrown into another ice bod forty feet lower down. The stranger was standing twelve foot back from tho piecipico when the ico gave way. The man was stunned by the blow, and when he hnd lain a moment lie slightly raised himself and slid Into a cuvlti in the moiintniu, disappearing Irom sight.

Descriptions of the victim disagree, but the following seems to be the most trustworthy: He was middle aged, tall, well built, wore sandy mOustacbo and side whiskers, dark suit, brown overcoat, nnd high hut.

, around him. Tlio frlonds. of whom there were

i a dozen, shook hands with him very earnestlyKA iii Boon na bo npponrod. to show to tho juryT "

ri.iw much thoy honored nnd respected him,whllo his lawrors wont into ipasms of homage,sympathy, and friendship. All this Inspirednot only tho jury, but outsider?, too, with ureatadmiration nnd rovcronco, Tho touclis oven,who Bwarmed eugorly into court until Hillylticketta shut down on them, dolguod to speakkindly ot tho small Texan with nn Adam'sapple almost as big an his head, who had hadthe nerve to kill a mnn Ilka Tom Davis, nndthoy were destined to pour forth oven creatorpraise when the weapon with Which the deedwas done should bo shown them.

The first thing nttor Billy ltlckotts had toldall those having business with bis court tooome forward was for Clerk Walsh, who shamswith lllcknits tho business ot running thingsin Oyer and Termlnor. to call out alt tho minimof thojumnoii. 'J'liuy weroall thore. and

&' lilblus, others who didn't caro for thoui raiseda linnd and nMrmod. Holland said he was

I romly, nnd business was begun.I There woie threo lawyers looking out afterJt the interests of justice and of tlio people, all

) chiirmliiL' men nnd each representing a certainIf degree of plumpness Col. Follows, ruther1 plump; District Attorney Mnrtino, very plump;I and Asstiint District Attornuy I''ltzgoruld,

middling plump.It fell to tho lot of Mr. Fitzgerald to open tho

ball. Ho couched, uroie. Hied a glance ofwithering contempt on tlin little Texan, turnedeyes ot pleading supplication upon tlinjuiy,and then begun to recite to them in words ofburning eloquence the story of the grent wrongwhich tho little Texan with the big Adam's ap-ple had done to t tin peoplo of tho Suite of i'hwYork, and also toTotu Davis, in killing Tom. Hotold tho jury tho Rtoryol the murderwhlch TitsBus and Its contemporaries had told to thosegentleman long before. Hut tbny listened withInterest, spell bound by his fiery oloituence.Tho story of tho shooting of Tom. who was un-armed, and nn Imitation of the thud which hemade in falling, drew tears nud a pocket hand-knrchi-

edged with lace from n young womanwho sat in a corner. The young woman wasdressod in black of tho kind worn by mourn-ers, a heavy black veil came down over horface, and some one said thut she was Tom Da-vis's second wife. Underneath the veil thornwas iv face that looked very comfortable andhomelike, while the curly black bang thatwound around the edge of tho widow's bonnetlooked soft and subdued through the crape.

The stream of Mr, Fitygnrald'a elouuence ransmoothly for awhile, and then it was inter-rupted for a long timo. Sir. Fitzgerald ex-plained just how the people wero going to getthe bulgo on that small Texan. Ho knew alltho while, according to ttio pooplo's theory,that Tom Davis would lay before him genuinemoney. Instead of the pretended counterfeits.He went there with n big revolver, and with thefirm determination to got that money by force.Consequently, when bo shot Tom Davis, ho wasIn the act of committing a felony; therefore itwould be vain tor him to set up orany weak excuse of that sort ; tho people wouldhave a perfect right to hang him anyhow.

At this the llttlo Texan lookeu annoyed,while his lawyers bristled right up and fought.They said that tho Indlctraont wits for murder;nothing was said about its being done in theMtot committing a felony, and so that could

not be drugged in.r iSVNsS. Thoy looked appeal

At last Judge Van Brunt told thopeoplo to go ahead, nnd that tho Court woulddocldo later. The people wound up und every-body wont to lunch.

There was no fooling In tho socond half attho spsslon. end no spilling around of legalknowledge. Clerk Welsh lifted bis head fromindustrious writing and culled for Tho Davis.A big man. with u llercn red fnoo, n mousincho

I blackor than n thunder cloud, and tenth so. j i pearly and white as to make an elephant goa K and break oft his tusks from sheer jealousy,

climbed up Into tho witness ohalr. That wasTho Davis, tho trusty brother of tho munlsredman, who helped liim In tlin sawdust business,and whoso duty itwns to shift the bagsnt thocritical moment. A lllble wns handed to him.Ho kissed it with fervor, while Clerk Welshmade him swear to be truthful, and then, withMr. Fitzgerald to drnwhhu our. proceeded totoll nlioutthn killing of bis brother.

He told llrst of his brother's business, with acntra and ijulet air, thut showed It to be in hisitimation a d'Tldodly clean and respeotnble

ocauputlon. It was tho sawdust business andIt whs simple. Tom got customers nnd offeredtaem counterfoil money. Ho showed thorngood money, got a certain sum from thorn fora mucu larger numbor of counterfeit dollars,and thou through sleight of hand palmed offlawdiiElnr paper upon thorn.

When this preliminary was finished, a bigmap wns luggod out, nnd everybody cored atIt oaruustly, while The Davis assumed aschool. teaohcr tone, and explained it all tohie jury It was a plan of tho two little roomsId which lie did business with his brother, andIn which his brothor w.is killed,

" Hut Hollnnd wouldn't listen to him.""Get in thut corner,' ho vellod. "Do you

hear mo? Get In that coruor and throw upyour hands.'

"'You wouldn't shoot me. would you?' mybrother said. 'See. I'm unarmed.'" Hollnnd never took nwny the pistol that hewns pointing at my brother, and didn't ohangohis tone.

'"Will you set ln that cornor? Git. git. git.'he cried." My brothor nover moved from the bag.

"'Here, now.' ho said, holding it up, 'youwouldn't shoot a man for that, would you?Tnke the b.ig and go. or let me go.'

"As husalil that ho sat sort of sldewnvs ontho desk, with the bug hid behiuirhim. At thatminute 1 took the bug of good money awny. nudput the bogus bag in its place. 1 was on myknees. As t changed tho bugs I heard n pl.tolshot und heard somotlilug lull. Then I heardanother shot as I got up from my knees. 1 ranout Into the hall nud down stairs with tho bagof good mono. I put It undo! the chair of abootblack, who had it sort of llttlo hut built out." Don't givo that to nnyono but me.' 1 saidto him. nnd then started to go up stairs to mybrother's room. As I did so I met Holland atthe door, coning out. 1 didn't know whetherto follow him or go up to my brother. I wasafraid he would go away, and so ran niter himas ho turned Into West Broadway. At Cham-bers street Holland stopped. I buw an olUcerand said, pointing to Hollnnd:" "Arrest that mnn : ho has just shot a man.'" The policeman arrested him and searchedhim. nnd found a pistol."

At this point Col. Follows appeared boforo thewitness with the pistol that did the shooting.It was a ponderous ulTnir. strongly suggestiveof a mountain howitzer or a young Kruppgun.

"Is that the cannon that was found on him?"Col. Fellows asked.

Tho Davis didn't know. It looked bigger tohtm nt tho time, he said, and then resumedhis tale:

' 1 left tho policeman with Holland nnd ranback to my brother's ofllce. I was baroheadodall the time. I saw my brother lying on thelloor with his faco down, and his head partlyleaning on his arm."

Tho jury didn't understand what was meant,so D.ivis leaned over on his face and showedthem. Thero was n lot of explanationwith the diagram ot Tom Davis's po-sition as ho lay on the floor. Therewns no ono in tho room so f.ir as heknew but himself, and he only stayed there tenminutes just long enough to pick up hisbrother's tint, turn him oer. and pick up asmall bundle of greenbacks that happened tobe lying on tho floor. He wont out and metHolland coming up with the policeman.

"I started for a doctor. Davis said, "butchanged my mind and came back aftor the bagot greenbacks. I went then to mv brother'sother otllce. at 3115 Broadway." (The otllcewhero the shooting occurred was at 113 Houdetreet.lHo did theereenbacka up Into a bundle, he

said, jumped on near, rode down to the NowYork rmfe Deposit Company, on the corner ofltroadway and Liberty stroet, left the money,and went back to a saloon in Grand street.There he got a drink of whiskey, paid for it,nnd went to the station for a man to arrestHill, Holland's partner.

That onded Davis's story of tho shooting, buttho peoplo, whose witness he is, wanted to gofrankly to work and show up what kind ot awitness thoy had. sous to deprive the defenceof the luxury of unearthing tho unpleasantfacts.

"Mr. Davis," asked Mr. Fitzgerald kindly,but tlrmly, " have you ever been arrested ?"" I have," said Mr. Davis, not a bit disturbed.

Q Wore you ev.r trltitf A No. tir.0 Vt .re yeu e.rin prime J A I won.Q In what prime? A 111 the penitentiary.Q. U hat or and now lung T A. LarcctHy and for six

didn't remember having committed any othercilme. He had been In the sawdust businesssince 1871 or 1372.

Then Gen. l'ryor. chief counsel for tho pris-oner, began to e Davis. Ho saidhe hadn't boon in any business since hisbrothor's death. Ho had a little money, and belived on thut.

Then enmo n lone aboutthe working of tho sawdust business and thedetails of the crime, the dufonce contrastingDavis's testimony at the preliminary exami-nations and his testimony ut the presenttrial. DavlB had no memory at all fortho things to which ho hud previouslysworn. He said his brother gave him apercentage ot tho prmlts. Ilutler was only amessenger: ho didn't know what he got. Hoand his brother never advertised. Others didtho advertising tor them nnd got a percentageof tho prollts derived from all customers whopanned out. Ho couldn't say whether or notIt wns Dutch Fred who had charge of their ad-vertising dupartment. Ho only know DutchFred ns a friend, llnfnre ngnglng In the saw-dust buslnoss he hud boon interested witli hisbrother lin liquor saloons. Thoy had one onWonstorlstreei. one on Fell street, and anotheron the llowory. All wero licensed.

Gon, l'ryor nskod Davis when he got his pic-ture out ot tho Itogiies' Gallery, nnd tried tomnko him tell about thut. Davis didn't knowtli.nl it ovor was in there. Ho couldn't reiuem-berlwhoth-

or not ho had been to the Inspectorand got him lo take il out because ho had re-formed.

Davis said, oh, yes, ho had bean arrestedon other occasions thnn those which ho men-tioned to Mr. ritz-oril- Hn had been arrestedfoi fast driving, fur being disorderly, and thatsort of thing, but not for crime. Jlo had been ar-rested on suspicion of robbing u messenger boy,couldn't say whether he had beoti indicted, anddidn't remember what alias lie went under. Infnct. didn't think ho oer went under nnv alias.His brother inner did. He wns not identifiedin tho case, und it was nolle prossod,

Davis snld tho monoy In tho bag was brandnow, nud, to prove it, pulled nut a big bundle ofouo and ten dollar bills, wrapped In paper,which ho said be had brought along as n sample.

Gon, l'ryor reached for It. but recoiled, andsaid, giving the jury it lino effect of disgust:

"No; you can keop your monoy. I'll nothandle It." .

Davis did nol feel the sarcasm."Here." he said, "you'd better tnko it. and

make sine it's not counterfeit."Tim Court und crowd laughed. The Judgo

examined the money with Interest. It was newand crisp of the issue of 1880.

There wuh not a pocket or eien a button onhis biotlier's coat, Davis HHid, us ho roue, and,lifting his coat, turned round lo .how tho juryhow Tom had shifted his coat to proveto Davis that he was unarmed. Hecould produce the tailor who in.ido thocoat nnd prove It. Ho said with pridethat his brother never moved ftotn tho bag ofgood money, even if the mountain howitzerwas only two foot unity." Hn may nave lieen afraid, but he wasn'tman to show it," Davis said. "If he had, Iwouldn't have stayed nut of thore,"

With Ilia covers of the lllble, Davis illustrat-ed how he tiad worked the panel. He showedno auger when (inn. 1'ri "r accused him of cow-ardice In running on" unit leaving bis brother.He didn't run. be simply put Hie out ofdanger, as bis brothel had nlwins instructedhim lo do, He did not really bellewi at anytime that Holland was going to shoot hisbrother, and scarcely belleed his brother washurt after ho henrd the shots, lie had so muchcoulldence In his brother's great coolness andstrength,

The defence, rejoicing over tho ndmlsslonthat Davis did not think that Hollnnd moantto shoot, ceased the aboutone hour nnd a half later thnn the regular timefor closing court.

Mr. Conkllng tried lutrd to get the witness toadmit that the handiest wuy of dealing withmoney was to put it in n bank and dntw againstIt, nnd that there wore nlonty of good, soundbanks and trust companies In Now Vork wherethe money would have been perfectly Bafo. Themost that Mr, Korr would do, liowoer, was toadmit that banking money and drawing chocksngitiiiEt it was a good way, though with Hiereservation that doubtless there wore manyrespeotabln men who did not look nt it thatway. And In this casa thu rates of Interestwere so low the ttust compnnles paying onlyli. per cent. that It wasn't worth while tobothorwith It.

It was Mr. Conkllng's turn to bo astonished.When he recovered himself he took Ins revengeby tangling Mr. Keir's mind up In a hard knotaiound nil his incendiary and surprising prop-ositions by n serins of artful questions until hegot him down flrxt to the monosyllable "yes"or "no" level, then to seeking relugo lu "Idon't know," und finally to whero ho wouldonly trust himself to nods,

Tarson Downs gavo a ll reporter at thoI'arker House this evening. Tho ltt has beonInvestigating tho parson's record ln otherplaces, notably in Hartford. II, I, Dlllenbackis tho reporter who made tho Inquiries ln thatcity, and knowledge of his movements camo totho Downs' coterlo of lawyors. This after-noon Lawyer Coffey called at thoofllce of tho Jt to see tho young man, but hewas not in. Tho lawyer left a note requestingIjllllngback to call at tho I'arker House. Mr.Dllllnback took anothor ranortor with him andcallod this evening. The two newspapor monfound Lawyer ColToy, Pastor Downs, nnd aman named Wnrd, who belongs in Hartford. Inthe rooms designated. Tho presence ot Mr.Dlllenback's friend sooms to havo disconcertedtho others.

Mr. Coffey said ha nskod Mr. Dlllenback tocall that ho might glvo him a piece ot news forpublication. Mr. Dlllenback was ready to heartho story If It was not too long. Mr. Coffey saidIt was long, nnd if Mr. Dlllenback had not nplentv of time tho telling of it had bettor bepostponed. Mr. DUInnback bad au assignmenttbao required attention within an hour, nnd heagreed to meet Mr. Collev The twonewspuper meu started off. und had got partway down stairs, when Mr. ColToy leaned overthe hHllusters anil called:

"Mr. Dlllenback. one second, ploaso."Mr. Dlllenback went back, und his friend

waited for him. As soon as ho had got Insldotho room the door was closed and locked, andl'arsnn Downs planted his chair In front of It.Mr. ColTey then accused Dlllenback of being Inlenguo with Downs's enemies nnd with hav-ing used disreputable methods to col-

lect evidence ugalnst him. He chargedthat ho had represented himself asan agent of Downs in Hartford, and thnt hohad thorn offered monoy to induce peoplo tocome to llosti m nnd testify against tho clergy-man. Mr. Dilleuback denied tho chargos, butinfused to answer questions nskod by the )nw-yo- r.

l'astor Downssuddonlylntorruptodwlth:"We're up to your little gumo. young man.

Wo know all nbout vou.""Yes," said Lawyer Coffey, wo hav fol-

lowed all yout movements and know all aboutyour league with Tuber's counsel and Mr.Downs's other enemlos."

Mr. CofTuy continued to discuss what ha con-sidered tho evidence of the continued attacksupon the parson, who has trouble enough toattend to, without having fresli ones to distrnothis mind. Mr. Downs's temper had beon mani-festly rising under tho rehearsal of bis wrongs.Suddenly nnd without a word the clergymansprang up. crossed tho room like a flash, andadministered a stinging slap full In the face oftho newspaper man. When Mr. Dlllenback re-covered Irom his surprise ho warded off a sec-ond blow, nnd then tho parson was seized trorabehind bv bis legal advisor, who dragged thoangry minister to n sofa.

Dillonback then started for the door. Hn gotIt open and was half way over tho threshold,when Downs bounced aftor him. The parsonfirst caught him by the collar, then seized himby tho throat, flung him back against tlin wall,and began to choko him. The reporter outsldosprang to the rescue, and Mr. Downs wassol7ed by two mon. Ho was furious.

"Lot mo get at him." he shouted, and suc-ceeded in breaking aw.iy,

Iu an Instant he was pounding Dlllenbacksavagely about the bend. The llrst blow stunnedtho reportornnd ho was helpless against thoonslaught. It was all that two men could do tohaul off the irate parson, but ho was at lengthoverpowored and the nffray endod. Dlllenbacksays ho has not decided whether he will prose-cute.

Mr. Gllbort recommends that tho consolida-tion of 1884 be nnnullod because it was unfairlycapitalized. Tho report is signed by Mr.Gilbert alone. Senators Robinson and Mur-phy concur In tho recommendationsand many of tho conclusions of Mr. Ullbort. butnot In that part ot Ills report which finds thattho Consolidated Gus Company violated tholaw of 1834, and which recommends the repeulof the consolidation. .

Tho majority report says there seems to bogreat Injustice to tho noonlo in permitting thovaluo of franchises conforred by tho State toform a basis of capitalization for tho purposeof organization us a corporation, nndthnt consumers of gas should be rsquirodto pay such aprlco for Has would pay tho dlvl-do-

upon tho valuo of theso franchises, whichare the gifts of ttio people. But It Is a fact thattho law of 18S4. under which these companiesconsolidated. oxpresBly authorized this to bedono.

Tho prico tho for gas may havebeen too high and the dividends excessive,but they wore not illegnl. and thovaluation of franchises computed uponthose dividends cannot be callod viola-tion of n law that expressly authorizedit to bo done, unless such valuation was toohigh. The cotnmitteo havo found nothing Intho Consolidated Company which Is contraryto the law unless them should havo boennn overvaluation of tho property, nud tho dif-ficulties attending tho determination ot such afact are bo great that the committee believeany attempt to upset such valuation would befutile.

TUB NIAGARA FALLS TRAGEDY.

Mr. Marvin Torn. Vis Alive The IdenlltT ofthe Victim ot Yet iZatsibllahod.

Bdfiaxo, March 1 " I am tho liveliestman who evor wont ovor Niagara Falls." saidMr. J. 8. Marvin of Now York in the TifttHouse It wns generally thought thatMr. Marvin was the man who met his death bysuicide or accident on tho Ico mound at N-

iagara Falls yesterday, and bis absence fromhis hotol. together with the similarity of de-scriptions, strongly pointed to Mr. Marvin astho victim of the tragedy. He spent .Sundayvisiting friends in Lancaster, near bore, and,as aconseiiuunce, llnd the pleasure of readinghis obituary iu'thls afternoon's panor.

Messenger Cutrio of tho National Ex-press Company, who saw the occur-rence, said this afternoon that he suwtho man standing on the ice mound. when sud-denly the Ice 'cracked and he was thrown intoanother ice bod forty feet lower down. Thestranger was standing twelve foot back fromtho piecipico when the ico gave way. The manwas stunned by the blow, and when he hnd laina moment lie slightly raised himself and slidInto a cuvlti in the moiintniu, disappearingIrom sight. Mr. Currle says lhat it was plainlynn accident. McCoy and other guidesspoedilywent out with ropes to rescue tho man or gothis iiody. but they could llnd nothing. Ho hada l'iske railroad ticket from Detroit and somanewspapers which he left ln tho dressing roomwith his lint at "Shadow of tbeitock." Hotold somebody that he was a New York man,nnd tho hat ho left was made by Green of It)Third avenue.

Descriptions of the victim disagree, but thefollowing seems to be the most trustworthy:He was middle aged, tall, well built, wore sandymOustacbo and side whiskers, dark suit, brownovercoat, nnd high hut. At last accounts thobody hud not been recovered, and the currentsprobably sucked it down. At that point bodlosdisappearing are soldom roooverod.
