The Money Beady for Mr. Burrows's Jetty Committee. The 6tar Route Trial The Attorney Gen erars Weak Speech and Jadge WyUe's Semariaa. Special to tui PicaTmrx. Washington, Sept.

7. The sensational mor that the money appropriated to defray the expenses of the Miseissippl River Committee of the House of Representatives could not be used on account or a delect in the resolution, had no other basis than that it could only be paid out on bills approved by the chairman of the committee, or, iu ithf words, the obligation muxt tlrtt be contracted and the bills sent to the Clerk of the House for payment. Even this trifling difHculty has now been set aside by Col. Hooker, the Sergeant at Arms of the House, who has placed Ave thousand do'lars to the credit of Mr. Burrows, the chairman, in a New York bank, to be reimbursed when the vouchers are ready for presentation.

Mr. Burrows is still in Maine, where he has been working with Mr. Blaine since the opening of the campaign there, but writes that he will be in Washington early next week, and make further arras enienta about the proposed trip of the committee. The star route trials are likely to close like one of Dumas' novels with a nequol, and like the writings of that noted author, the sequel may prove the most exciting part of the story. During" the day the Judge created a real sensation by stating that he had been informed by members of the Jury that attempts had been made to corrupt them, and in this he was confirmed by the foreman, who said be would, when the trial was over, make a full statement of the matter.

Judge was very severe on the persons who should thus attempt to corrupt a jury, and cautioned the jurors to be watchful in guarding their honor, but uo way intimated which side the approaches had been made. All the attorneys for the defense insisted that the facts should come out now, but the Court would not consent. TLe closing argument by the Attorney General was, it Is conceded ou all sides, a very tame and faulty affair, and showed a considerable want of information as to the details of the case. In fact, that ho had not read the record of the trial with as much care as hundreds of citizens having no interest in the case. Next to IngerHoll's, which his speech served to emphasize, that of Attorney General Brewster was probably the bent speech for the defense.

The feeling about the court room when the Attorney General closed was very strong that the prosecution had failed, but the remarks of the Judge in relation to the tampering of the jury brought one of thw sudden revolutions which are sometimes seen, and the feeling againut the defendants grew strong. It is possible that the, effect upon the Jury was not the same, and there are some who think the overture comes from the prosecution direct. Others urge that the defendants were falnely represented by emissaries of the prosecution. Wherever they came from, the episode has created a greater sensation than even a verdict eftber way would have done. During Mr.

Brewster's argument the foreman pointed out an error in the figures which he presented as the profits Of contractors, and the Judge reminded him he bad not replied to certain vital points In the argument of Ingersoll; but he dosed without referring to these two points. The charge of Judge Wylie is looked forward to with greatly increased interest. HIGH WATER IN TEXAS. The Ban Antonio and San Pedro Overflowing The International Railroad "Washed Out.

Saw Ajttohio, Sept. 7. A violent rainstorm set in here about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and continued until midnight, making a fall of six inches of water. The streets were flooded. The Ban Antonio rose some eight feet, causing thote living in the lower aection of the city to evacuate their houses during the drenching rain, and a good many huts and adobe dwellings were inundated and flooded.

The San Pedro Creek, passing through the western portion of the city, rose to a great height and washed away all the bridges and houses on its banks, and took down in its course about 60 bales of cotton that were stored in a yard near the gas works. One man is reported drowned, as he cannot be found and was a few moments previous going through the creek. The International Railway suffered severely between this city and Austin, and are short several small bridges. No trains north on that route to day. The San Marco River is rising rapidly, and grave fears are apprehended thereof.

The Rio Grande River has overflowed the town of Eagle Pass and of Camargo, and is higher than since 1859, and is still rising. Much apprehension is felt for the safety of Brownsville and Matainoros. The weather Is cloudy and sultry. STOCKS AND STAPLES. Cotton is Firra and Stocks Tend Downward Advance in Louisiana Bonds.

A bill passed Congress appointing a special committee to investigate and report on the Mississippi levee and Jetty systems, and appropriated 5000 to defray the expenses of the committee, but by an oversight on the part of the framors of the measure, made the amount available after presentation of the vouchers covering the expenses of the committee.

PENSACOLA. FA. Nine New Oases of Fever in the Past Twenty Pour Hours. An Appeal for Relief. Special to the PicATtjux.

Pfksacola, Sept. 7. There is regret that the hopeful view taken last night and for several days past cannot be sustained by the reports of the progress of the fever lu our city which are transmitted to night. Nine new cases have been reported within the past twenty four hours. No deaths.

Our people, and the physicians as well the latter ok whom, by the way, have labored heroically and without interruption have anticipated that the enemy was conquered and the disease had about spent its fury; but the developments of this the eleventh day of the fever are not at all encouraging. As indicated in my previous dispatches, the several doubtful cases under observation by the physicians have all, or neii rly all of them, been pronounced to be yellow fever. The unusually large number of cases officially announced by the Board of Heelth to day includes cae under treatment for the past two and three days, and it is not that several others on the sick list will receive the same recognition to morrow. The Relief Committee, acting under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, have sent to night to the Associated Press at New York an appeal for aid through the New York Herald, which appeal bears the indorsement of the President of the Young Men's Christian Association, the City Physician and the President of the Board of Health.

7. A. J. Bloomberg, of Brownsville, Texas, has been enraged for the past two duys soliciting subaerip tions to a fund for the relief of sufferers from yellow fever in Brownsville. Bloomberg raised $KM in cash, which he sent immediately to his house, in Brownsville by telv graph.

It is stated that Mayor Thomas Carson, of Brownsville, has authorized Bloomberg and Baphuel to receive sub soatptions. A Relief Stranaer Weatherbound. Galveston, Sept. 7. The steamship Colorado and revenue cutter McLano are still in rort awaiting developments of the cyclone.

The citizens of that place have formed a committee to act In aid of Brownsville. A Death of Asiatic Chafer at Newport. Boston, Sept. 7. A special from Newport, R.

says A case of Asiatic cholera, it is reported, has occurred here, a seven year old child of Henry B. Auchinclosn, of New York, having died of the disease. The Mayor has called an extraordinary meeting of the Board of Aldermen and city physicians have been summoned. The parents of the child were away at the time of its death and are. now returning from New York to Newport.

The child's remains were placed In the upper story of the Mayor's cottage, which the Aucnincloss family are occupying. It is said that for some time back there has been a sanitary defect in the Mayor's cottage, but the statement is not verified. Blck China anea la California. Ban Francisco, Sept. 7.

A dispatch from Bakersfleld, CaL, says: Two carloads of sick Chinamen arrived hereto day. Several of them were in a dying condition and one had died on the Journey. They were from the advance body of Southern Pacific Railroad laborers, and the rumor that their disease was yellow fever caused so mucn excitement and fear that a coroner's Jury could not be found to sit on deceased. It is not known what the disease is, but the reiort of its being yellow fever is not authenticated. EGYPT.

Judge WyUe Intimates that an Attempt lias Been Hade ta Corrupt the! Jury. Washington, Sept. 7. Attorney General Brewster to day concluded his argument for the prosecution in the star route trials, and the case is practically closed. Tho Judge will probably deliver his charge to morrow, and the case may go to the jury the same day.

Mr. Brewster's argument was listened to with the same olose attention as was given to Mr. Ingereoll, and his audienoe was bo large that the Judge was obliged to give orders to admit no more spectators to the court room. The closing part of the argument was well worth recording, but at its conclusion an incident occurred which was wholly unexpected to all except the immediate actors it, and which dwarfed everything else that has occurred during the trial. The judge had announced that a recess would be taken, that the prayers of counsel for instructions to the Judge should be argued before the court alone, and that the Juiy could be excused until to morrow.

Then ensued the scene of the day, and one which has few If any parallels In the Judicial history of the country. The jurors were again on their feet and about to leave the dox, and many of the audience were preparing to leave the court room, when Judge Wylie stated that he wished to devote a moment to another matter. The significant tone in which he said this warned the spectators that something important was to follow, and instantly there was a dead silence. Several of the members of this Jury," continued his Honor, calmly, have come to me with information that they have been approached with a proposition most manifestly of a corrupt kind. The first intimation I had of this kind was several weeks ago.

Several more (interrupting Llmself) I cannot call them intimations, they are square and direct information given to me privately forthe purpose of asking me what they (the jurors) should do. My advice was to say nothing about it. The Court did not want to interrupt the progress of the arguments of the case by any such side question as this, but I advised them to be careful. This thing has grown (becoming more and more indignant as he proceeded.) and within the lust 24 hours it seems that these wolves which have been around this Jury, have become fiercer and more determined. I felt so much indignation that I was almost ready to advise the jurymen to shoot the man on the spot.

That is the way I felt about it, but I gave no such opinion but villainy of this kind, soouudreusm of this degree, deserves no mercy. I do not saj in what interest these suggestions have been made I do not want to convey any information on that subject, but I want to ndvise this Jury to repel with scorn and indignation any base attempt of this character on their virtue and integrity. The insult is of the last Intensity, and I do hope that when we pet through with this trial fairly, you may nave information enough to enable the court to lay its hands on the men of this kind on these men who have approached you in this way. I have called your attention to this subject with another viev to give a warning to men of this kind what the are about, and that the officers of the law will do their dnty, and If it Is possible to ferret out these scoundrels it shall be done. Give them no quarter.

Spurn them with the end of your toes. No Laser vermin infest the earth than men enred in this fejufl of business, and the insult to you is that they suppose that you are Just as base, Just as low, aa they are themselves. No man should allow a whisper of tUs kind to be made to him without spurning it with the utmost scorn and contempt, if he goes no further. I do not advise violence at any time. Of course, I do not but next to the insult that is given to a man's wife Is an Insult of this kind to a Juror.

His honor should be as sacred and as carefully guarded as he would guard the honor of his wife. Having said this much collaterally, at this point we can now take a recess." Judge Wylie's remarks, which were delivered with great earnestness and in Indignant tone, which showed that he meant every word he said, with perhaps the exception of his deprecation of violence, created a profound sensation, and the foreman of the Jury, Mr. Wm. Dickson, who is probably one of the Jurors approached, rose and said that after the disposition of this case he would lay the whole matter before his Honor. Then Mr.

Henkle, counsel for Miner and Vaile, rose, and on behalf of himself and of his clients demanded an investigation of the charge that had been made. The Court "We will see about that we wiU probably have It." Mr. McSweeney We too want an investigation." Mr. Wilson (emphatically) We want it all around." A recess was taken. Who Taanpered with the Jury Washington, Sept.

7. A great many reports are afloat to night as to who It Is that has attempted to bribe the star route jury. The name of a former attorney of this city is connected with the attempt, but not authoritatively. Mr. Merrick, of counsel for the prosecution, is quoted as saying that he had been aware of attempts at the bribing of the jury, but did not know that Judge Wylie was also Informed, so Judge Wylie's utterance to day was a surprise to him.

Mr. Merrick is also quoted as saying that he knew who had offered bribes, and the amounts. One of the Jurors has been interviewed tonight, and is reported as saying that he has been approached on two occasions by parties on behalf of the defense. Counsel for the defense have been also interviewed, but profess entire ignorance. SPORTING.

A Notable Marder Trial la Saath Carolina, Columbia, 8. Sept. 7. A special to the Daily Register from Camden, 8. says that the trial of Capt.

J. L. Halle for the killing of CoL L. W. R.

Blair, Greenback leader, on July 4, began this morning, ud go Kershaw presiding. The court house wasj packed. The prosecution was conducted by Solicitor Bon ham, aided by ex Judge T. J. Mackey, Independent candidate for Congress in the Filth District, The plea of.

not guilty was entered. The Jury waa drawn, composed of whites. There were twelve challenges by the State and eight by the do fen bc, six for cause. Several State witnesses) made important variations from the. evidence given at the inquest, greatly weakening the prosecution.

The killing by Halle, with a Spencer rifle, was fully established. There were three shots fired, one through the heart, one through the lung, and one in side. Blair fell at the third shot, without speaking. The State's witnesses said Blair called Halle a damned liar; Halle walked to the tax offiee, foUowed by Blair, who had hie hand in his) left breast. Halle came to the door with the rifle and out on the sidewalk.

Blair advan cing towards him, Halle fired, and Blair moved round between Halle and the court house. Halle moved back towards the out side of the aidewalk and fired again. Blair moved out towards the sidewalk and at tue third fire fell on his side, turned on his back and died. The State failed to establish the language of Halle after the killing, showing pnyaeai ISZSn PI vne aeea.
