Her Attorney Blnlces a Favorable State* THE ELECTORAL COUNT BILL THE PRINCIPAL FEATURE OF THE DAY, CONSUMING TIME WITHOUT /.CCOM- Hichmo.td, Va., Dec. 10.—C. H. F. Dam-in-?, the ex-policeman who was arrested on the charge of bribing Herman Joel, the watch key witness In the Cluverius case, was before the police court, but the examination was postponed till the 18th inst. When considering the petitions for executive clemency in the case of Cluverius the governor sent for Joel and questioned him in regard to the watch key. At the request of the governor Joel described the interior of the watch key which he had repaired for i Cluverius, and afterwards opened it in tho presence of the governor. His description tallied exactly with the interior of the watch key. At the trial the commonwealth asked that tho key bo opened by Joel, but counsol for the defense objected. This was perhaps the strongest point in the evidence against the prisoner, and now, since it has come to( light that the interior of the watch key was fonnd to be as described by Joel, the evidence of the prisoner's guilt is even more conclusive. Londojt, Dec. 10.— Counsel for the Duke of Marlborough, in opening the case for the defense in the Campbell divorce trial, said that the duke would appear and swear that the charges against Lady Colin Campbell and against the duke as co-respondent were groundless. The alleged evidence agaiust them consisted of incidents and small talk of society which were perverted into allegations of impropriety. Some of the unimportant incidents testified to were true. The testimony as to improper actions was untrue. Lady Campbell's life had been notably devoted to charity, and her wlioie course of conduct was inconsistent with the charges against her. Lady Campbell's correspondence with the duke related to the borrowing of books. She had a leaning toward literature. She wrote books, worked more or leas at Journalism, and borrowed books for reference. uient of the Case.

W ABHINGTON, Dec. 10.—On motion of Mr. Morrison a conference was ordered on the senate amendments to the bill proposing fractional parts of a gallon," and on motion of Mr. Payson conference was ordered on the senate amendments to the bill restricting ownership of real estate in the territories to American citizens. The house then resumed consideration of the bill extending the free delivery system. An amendme nt was adopted providing that letter carriers shall be employed for the tree delivery of mail matter as frequently as the public business may require, at every incorporated city on village containing 60,000, and may be employd at every place containing a population of not less than 10,COO according to the last general census taken by authority of state or United States law, or to any ] ostoflico which may produce a gro-s revenue for the preceding year of not less than $10,000. Columbus, O., Dec. 10.—Tho committee en resolutions recommended the adoption of the following: New York, Dec. 10.—Apart from the motley crowd of criminals gathered in Jeffernon market yesterday stood three members of a sorrowing family condoling with each other. They were father, mother and daughter, the latter 21 years old a:iJ who wept bitterly. The little group eagerly watched every prisoner that was brought in from the "pen." The young woman was Mrs. Banbury, and she was looking for her husband, William L. Banbury, who had been arrested on the night previous, and when she saw him enter the courtroom, in custody of Policeman Boyle, she ran towards him. He embraced her affectionately, but she suddenly drew back from him as though she had been repulsed, and, turning to her parents, hid her face in hor handkerchief and sobbed aloud. Only on the morning of the previous day the young woman was married to Banbury, but beforo they reached their hotel in Brooklyn he had bocome insane and was taken charge of by a policeman. Whereas, The universal adoption of the eight hour system has long been desired by the industrial classes who believe that such enforcement would redound to their moral, social, intellectual and financial welfare, and. mis..loner all joint tariffs on through rates which they may be a party to, and the asmmission is required to secure the publication of such through rates as far as it may be .found practicable. These are the principal modifications of importance. When the substitute bill has been printed the committee will go over it carefully and may change the ohrasoology slightly. Whereas, Experience has practically demonstrated that in order to secure such recognition there must be a long pull, a strong pull and a pull all togethor by the representatives of the various labor organizations interested. That where plant or machinery is employed it is impracticable for one city or state to successfully nfaintain it when competing states or cities are working under the ten hour system; therefore bo it Counsel asked the Jury to consider whether the lady's charitable and literary work, oc-. cupying a large part of her life, was entirely consistent with the frivolous and lewd career attempted to be attributed to her by the other side. He also laid stress upon the fact that the essential incidents relied upon by the other side rested entirely upon the evidence of Rose Baer, a domestic of bad repute, who had been discharged from Lady Campbell's employ, and upon the evidence of other persons, male and female, of obscure station and untraceable antecedents. No responsible witness had been produced who could corroborate these improbable stories against Lady Campbell. Chief of Police Pope has received a letter from Superintendent Murray, of New York, containing the following, addressed to the latter: Appropriations Committee. Washington, Dec. 10.—Tho hou'ie committee on appropriations completed the sun dry civil bill. It appropriates $19,184,112.

Resolved, That this body pledges itself as far as practical to co-operate and work in harmony with all national and international organizations who desire to accomplish such result! Superintendent Murray. Die. 8,1886. Dear Sib—I am sorry that tho authorities of Richmond are making a great mistake about the Cluverius case. He is the wrong man. Sorry he could not prove an alibi. I had hoped he could, and now there is nothing left for me but to surrender myself as the murderer of Lillian Madison. I will surrender on tho morning of Cluverius' execution at your headquarters. It is unneceessary to give you further particulars, as my case will show clearly about the mtfrder at my trial. I cannot wait any longer of confessing my crime, as my conscience has troubled enough. I will prove all when I surrender, and there is nothing left me bat to surrender, get trial and probably hang. Mr. Coe, of New York, welcomed the amendment, declaring that it was In the right line, but did not go far enough; that the free delivery svstem wns a paying business, and he was proud to say the city of New York produced the great bulk of the surplus. Resolved, That we earnestly request t£e various national and international labor associations to take definite action on this ■subject at the next annual congress, which shall be binding on every member within their ranks, in every city within the United States and Canada, so that harmonious and joint action will be secured, and that the local organizations be reminded that the primary object is the recognition of the eight hour system, and that the question of wages is for the time being of secondary importance.Banbury is 35 years qld, and for the past five years has been employed in the dry goods trade as a commercial traveler. His circuit included Ohio and Tennessee. He was looked upon as a model yohng man and stood well with the firm. The bill as amended was passed. A bill was also passed authorizing the employment of mail messengers in the postal service. Consideration of the electoral count bill was then resumed. Four months ago Banbury met the girl whom he married. He deported himself correctly, and in a short time asked her to become his wife. Last Wednr I was set for the wedding, and on that liitrning Banbury called at tho home of his sweetheart He carried a valise and an umbrella. The wedding ceremony was quietly performed in the presence of members of the bride's family.

Boston, Dec. 10.—The will of Ezokiel Price Greenleaf, tho miser millionare, who died recently in Boston, has been filed in tie Suffolk county probate court. There are a few private bequests which are mostly revoked in a codicil The testator gives all the rest of his estate to the president and fellows of Harvard college, to keep as a distinct and separate investment. The trust bond is to bo called the "Price Greenleaf fund," the net income to be used as follows: A sum equal to, but not exceeding (3,000 a year, shall be divided in 300 shares each, to be paid each year to an undergraduate of insufficient means to pursue his studies in the academic department of the college, preference being given to those who, by industry and good conduct and zealous efforts, shall be deemed by the president and deacon of the college entitled to encouragement and support It being, however, the wish of the testator that said money should not be awarded to any students solely by reference to his rank or standing as a scholar, but that regard should also be had to an earnest endeavor to attain excellence, such scholarship to be called the "Price Greenleaf" scholarship. Ono%aK the net income of the remainder is to be appropriated for the maintenance and support of the library of the college and for the purchase, repair and preservation of books therein, but no part is to be applied to the erection of any building. A separate and distinct apartment of tho library is to be set apart and known as the Price Greenleaf department of the "fund," provided the officers consider such a step expedient, and the other half of the income is to be appropriated in such manner as the president and fellows deem expedient to reduce the general expenses necessarily incurred by undergraduates of the college in pursuing the studies required to obtain the degree of bachelor of arte, who are not of themselves, or with the aid of their parents, of sufficient pecuniary ability to pay for the same, aid to bo given only to those who by their character aid conduct shall be deemed .by the president and fellows worthy of aid and encouragement Before going to Brooklyn Banbury suggested to his wife that they go to the theatre.

Section 4 prescribes the meeting of the senate and house in the hall of the house on the second Wednesday in February suoceediug the meeting of the electors. After providing for the appointment of tellers and the reading by them of the certificates and papers purporting to be certificates of the electoral votes, the bill continues: "And the votes having been ascertained and counted m the manner and according to the rules in this act provided, the result of the same shall be delivered to the president of the senate, who shall thereupon announce the state of the vote, which announcement shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons, if any, elected president and vicepresident of the United States, and, together with a list of the votes, shall be entered on the Journals of the two houses.

No votes or papers from any other state shall be acted upon until the objections previously made to tho votes or papers from any other state shall have been finally disposed of. The President Better. The question of amalgamation with the conference, which many supposed had beon finally settled when the two bodies began their deliberations .together, was now called up in the report of Chairman Scott, of the committee of the whole. The report is as follows: "The chairman of the committee of the whole begs to report that the delegates to the Federation of Trades have attended a meeting of the trades union conference, taken part in the proceedings of that body, considered tho advisability of amalgamating, and urge on the Federation further consideration of the subject" The amalgamation is not to take place before the close of the week. Tno delegates then resolved themselves into a meeting of the Federation, and the committee on resolutions reported a resolution advising the Federation to amalgamate with the conference. The resolution was adopted. The action of the two bodies, which are practically one, for there are not more than & dozen delegates to the conference outside the delegates to the Federation who attend its meetings, is causing considerable comment among laboring men. The two, they say, should unite at once and transact their business as one body, thus giving it more the appearance of harmony and unanimity. Washington, Dec. 10.—Tho president is better.

The work of the convention is progressing very slowly and is causing considerable comment among the trades unionists of this city. After three days' session the work can be summed up in tho appointment of a few committees and the passage of a few resolutions. Tho delegations are deliberating as two bodies, a federation and a conference, which is, so far as the membership is concerned, practically one body. Yet they do not consolidate, but continue to transact business as a federation for a while, and then resolve themselves Into a conference. Tho two bodies cannot meet separately because many of the members are delegates to both, and there is not moro than fifteen delegates to the conference alone. Hence each body must and does hold its session while the other is adjourned and much time is thus wasted.
