Y., Nov. 15.—In the Dwight insurance trial the examination of Mr. Lloyd, secretary of the Mutual Life insurance company, of New York, was continued. He swore that the policy which had been filled oat for Col. Dwight was, with a large number ef others, destroyed last March. The policy was dated Aug. 19, 1878, and, according to the records of the company, no other application had been received from Dwight. Fayette P.

In a few days the company ordered it to be returned, and he obtained it from the Binghamton agent. No premium was ever paid bn it. Joseph Hillman, of Troy, general agent for New York state of the Connecticut Mutual Life ihsftiianoe company, swore that he received an application from Mr. Dwight August 1, 1878. It was for $35,000, and the company approved it for $15,000. It was issued and sent to the Binghamton agent. After reconsideration it was recalled and the agent returned it to the company. No premium was ever paid on the policy. Lowell Harding, of Binghamton, swore that he received the policy from Hillman and took it to Dwight's agent, who refused to pay the premium until a change was made in the policy. Before this was made he received word not to deliver the policy to Dwight, and soon was ordered to return it.

They said that the dams would ruin their principal sources of living by overflowing their marshes. They wero surprised and indignant that the great father bad not consulted them before beginning the construction of the dams, and the time had now come lor a settlement. "Wo estimate our damages, and this has boen in our minds since last spring1," said Flatmouth, "at $250,000 every six months, and this is what wo want the great father to repay us.

This report was coupled with the reports that Randall was bo oonAdent that he would not hurry at all in coming on. Then the third and last story, and the straight one, was tljat he was not so ▼try tick, aart would arrive hore next Batorday. " It would not, however, be surprising if he should get here eveu earlier. This air of indifference and oonfldenoe is only part of the Randall game. In on* sense Randall is the heaviest backed nndfclst* for the speakership. There is hardly a moneyed interest in the fcotmtry represented at Washington which is not hard at work for him. The manufacturers and the railroad people are to have strong lobbies her* in his interest. All this will have its effect, as there are a number of members who are only looking about for the winning side and will naturally be much impressed by the array of agents Randall will have at work here by the beginning of next woek.

H. Alcley, occurred nine miles off Holland, on the east shore of Lak# Miohigan. The drowned are Captain Edward Stretch, of Grand Haven, aged fifty, an experienced master, who leaves a wife and children; John Kingston, first mate, of Port Colborne, Ont; J ohn Babbitt, steward, of Spring Lake, Mich., Willlo Stanley, a fourteen year old boy from Bradford, Pa., and two deck hands, whose names are unknown. Coupled with the disaster was an act of great bravery by two brothci-s, David and Daniel Miller, of the schoonor Driver, who saved the twelve remaining on board the Akley, in the face of one of the heaviest storms ever known on the lakes. The Miller brothers courageously lowered their only skiff and went to the aid of the survivors, who were drifting in a yawl without oars at the mercy of the waves. Capt. Stretch stuck to his post until his vessel foundered, going down with it himself. The Akley carried 70,000 bushels of corn for Buffalo. She was caught in the great gale on Sunday and her machinery becoming disabled she got in the trough of the sea and her cargo shifted, causing her to sink.

IB.—A flro, originating from sparks falling on a bale of cotton, broke out in cotton warehouse No. 1 of the Norfolk and Western railroad at 11 o'clock. In a few moments the flames spread all over the building and into warehouse No. 2 adjoining. In half an hour from the time when the fire was first discovered the two immense frame warehouses were in flames. At 1:30 the fire was gotten somewhat under control, but aot until the two houses with their contents and more than 5,000 bales of cotton were destroyed, with the adjacent piers and warehouses. Twenty three cars of walnut logs and twenty or thirty oars of soft coal were also destroyed. The total loss on the cotton burned is estimated at $250,000, fully insured. The insurance on the ootton is about equally divided between fifteen northern companies. The railroad company's loss thus far is estimated at $165,- 000, fully insured in Philadelphia companies. When tUtf fir* raged the fiercest the intense Mat blistered'the paint on the passenger and freight depot buildings, and it wa* leaned they too would be destroyed U1 the engines in Norfolk and from Portsmouth were promptly on hand, and with the tugboats in the bay poured thirty streams into the burning buildings.

Foreman, of Williamsburg, Pa., testified that he lived with Dwight at the Herdic house in 1867. During that time Dwight was in the habit of raising and spitting blood. Once witness was in Dwight's room and there was a half pint of blood in a vessel by the bed. Dwight called his attention to it. Dwight told him he had had hemorrhages, and he expected that some day they would carry him off. During all this spring Dwight had a very severe cough. He lay at this time on the bed dressed. He was confined to his room for a week, but was not confined to the bed. The blood looked bright and fresh. O'OONNELL'8 TRIAL.

We want $250,000 every six months." London, Nov. 15.—Justice George Denman, of the court of Queen's bench, will probably preside at the trial of O'Donneli for the murder of Carey. The preparations for O'Donnell's defense are woll advanced. Mr. Roger A. Pryor had along and satisfactory interview with the prisoner yesterday, the first tnat be has obtained since his arrival in Loudon. Mr. Mclnorney, of O'Donnell's counsel, has • brought from Ireland a mass of'fevidfcnc*, and he feels confident that the vtrdict of the jury in O'Donneli'* case will not bs that of willful murder. from the Oape of Good Hope are expected to arrive in Efcigland on Saturday next Mr. William J. Hoppin, secretary of the American legation, in the absence of Minister Lowell, has visited O'Donneli and formally ascertained the fact of his American citizenship. The prison rules have heretofore prevented Mr. Pryor from seeing O'Donneli without the permission of the home department. Mr. Guy, solicitor for O'Donneli, recently wrote to Sir William Harcourt, home secretary, asking permission tmtlr. jifyor to visit his client. Sir Wil-1%P HarOourt replied that Mr. Pryor must make a personal application, in which he must state the grounds for his request. Mr. Pryor accordingly made the required application, stating as the Bole ground therefor that he,being of the counsel lor the prisoner, deemed it expedient for the defense that be should see him. Tne home department thereupon granted the request. Mr. Pryor was afforded every facility by the officials at Newgate prison for the interview with'the prisoner, which lasted two and a half hoyrs. Hodinahquan, when he started in to speak of damages, said they wanted $250,000 a year. He had plainly mistaken his instructions, for a murmur of disapproval went around the room, and he corrected himself and put it $250,000 every six months. The award made by the commission of 1881 was $15,000. This the Indians refused to take. The case as It now stands presents as an ultimatum $500,000 a year or the destruction of the dams, which of course means war. The annuities for this yaar still remain unpaid. The pittance of $5 is withheld for eoCne reason best known to the Washington authorities, and the Indians refuse to take Mm half payment.

It is probable who'll Mr. Cox comes here that he aud Carlisle will agree upon one thing, anil that will be to oombine their strength to insist upon viva voce voting in the caucus Randall relies largely upon the secret ballot for gaining recruits if he can make a good showing upon tha first ballpt, isasrr,sacs= Is that the Carlisle men were trying to bulldose the Randall crowd. A more difficult task could be hardly imagined. Another itory of the Randall men is that all the other candidates, overawed by his strength, have united under the watchword, "anything to beat Randall." Peter Herdic, of Williamsport, swore that he had known Dwight for twenty years. In March, 1867, he was walking down from the Herdic House with Dwight when the laiter raised and spit blood. Dwight then said that he hod had hemorrhages and they would carry him off some time. At another time witness was in Dwight's room, and in a vassal by the bed were four or five teaspoonflils of blood. While there Dwight raised and spit blood. Witness swore it looked like blood that would com* from a nose bleed or a cut finger.

The Leech I*ke dam is $0,000 feet long. The earthwork is ten feet wide on top and sixty feet wide at the base, and will be riprapped on the exposed surface. The Winnebagoebish dam will raise the lake twelve feet. These two dams will cost $300,000, and a few honrs work by the Indians, if they get ugly, would work immense damage. Chicago, 111, Not. 15.—The Western Export association held a secret meeting here which was largely attended. The differences which have existed between the various members of the association as to the car pacity ot their respective distilleries were amicably settled. The aao&ation took under consideration the resolution offered by H. B. Miller,, president, providing that the prices fixed by the Association be maintained under all ciicumstaaces, and authorizing the executive committee to use the fund of the association, if found necessary, to accomplish that end. The resolution contemplate, in the e 'ent of an overplus of domestic stock in any section, that the distiller should be direct*. 4 to produce alcohol for export, the distiller 10 be allowed a bonus sufficient to oover the dit'erence between the profits arising from thi manufacture of domestio stock and alcohol. No decision had been reached up to the afternoon adjournment Whiskey Men In Harmony. Charles Rartels, Jr., of Williamsport, Pa., testified that in 1867, with his father, who is now dead, he called upon W wight at his Boom in the hotel. Dwight wanted to sell some stock in the Williamsport and Canada Lumbar company. Dwight's reason for selling was because he had more than he could pay for and he did not want to borrow money, as he had had hemorrhages and thought that they would some time kill him! Witness had never seen Dwight raise or spit blood, and only heard him mention it on this ■ingle occasion. IMecaeains Science. POTDE New Havbn, Conn., Nov. 15.—The meeting of the National Academy of Sciences was resumed and was as largely attended as on the previous days. The expedition to the Caroline Islands to observe the solar eclipse of May 6, 1883, was discussed at length. The report made by the American, English and French scientists contains quarto pages. The conditions under which the ecli])se was observed were very favorable. On the voyage twentjr-three new stirs were discovered anu two or Cthree valuable botanical specimens,' htyhertp unknown to science. Several other papers were submitted, which will be discussed. They are as follows: "Preliminary notice of phoepho muriates," Wolcott Gibbs; "On the probable existence of new acids of phosphorus," Wolcott Gibbs; "Notes on the mineralogy and lithology of the Bodie mining district of California," B. Sillimau; "On thcaneient glaciation of North America," J. 8. Newberry; "Marriage Institutions in tribal society," J. W. Powell; "Atmospheric absorption," 8. P. Langley. The West Point Ats*emrD Washington, Nov. 16.—The annual report of Gen. Merritt, superintendent of the West Point Military Academy, states that on the first of September, 1883, there were at the c.f-ademy fifty five professors and commissioned officers and three hundred and eleven cadets. There were two hundred and seventy one cadets at the same date of the previous year. There were no deaths during the year among the cadets, officers or soldiers. What surprises every oue is the strength Sereloped by Mr. Cos. It has been the fashion of both the supporters of Carlisle and Randall to affect a disbelief in the serions character of Ur. Cox's candidacy, but now they have discovered that he has more votes promised than Randall can count. It is common to, hear nun say that his strength is oomplimentary and will not stand by him, but Mr. Cox's'poaltion is beginning to taks on a very formidable look since it has been developed that he is the bona fide candidute of the New York delegation. It is said here that Mr. Cox's selection was the result of a meeting of democrats last summer at the Fifth Avenue hotel, for the purpose of oonsidaring what should be done to •eucure the speakership for New York state. In this meeting the nomination by the state was tendered Abram 8. Hewitt, who declined on account of his health. Then it was tendered to Dorsheimer and he refused because he was a new member. It is said that Gen. Slocum also refused to be a candidate of the delegation for the ■me reason. Mr. Cox was then selected, and it was agreed to stand by him to the very last. That la the last report here at least, and this has naturally thrown a good deal of cold water upcn the talk about mere complimentry votes from the state of New York.  JOHN KELLY'S VIEWS.

Maynard, the candidate for secretary of state, was defeated by the brewers and persons engaged in the distilling and sale of spirituous liquors. The majority for the candidates on the ticket with him will average 13,000. The registry of New York city is 182,000. The vote polled was r 2,000, 23,000 democrats and 0,000 republicans not voting. Kings county, usunljy giving democratic majorities in presidential years of 0,000 to lb,000, gave a majority of 000 to Carr, the republican candidate for secretary of state. New York usually give* majorities of from 46,000 to SO,000 in the same years. Chapin, candidate for Comj D- trailer, has 30,000. New York state can be ready for the democratic nominees of the national convention, providing they are loyal and reliable men to the democratic party, and their reputations in official and private life ore beyond question. ocr%|}« Nominees. Lewiston, Me., Nov. 16.—Reports from northern Maine show most disastrous results of the gale. Old inhabitants remember no gale of suogi velocity. Many buildings have bean destroyed, several parsons seriously injured and millions of dollars' worth of valuable timber in Maine forests destroyed. The extent of damage in Oxford county alone is estimated at $05,000. The loss in one town of Bethel is upwards of $20,000. J. H.,Carter, of* Bethel, was hurled thirty rods and taken up senseless. Many hundred heads of live stock were buried in the ruins of barns, f ranklin county reports $50,000 damage.
