THE MeFABLAND TBIAL.

Mr. Creelejr still on the Stand. Telegraphed Bschtrively to The Evening Star. Nnw Yobk, April court room is crowded. Mr.

Greeley's examination is promoting unusual interest. Mr. Greeley testified that the substance of his last interview with the prisoner was the relation by McFarland of an incident connected with the first shooting, up town. On cross-examination Mr. Greeley said he knew Kichardson in Kansas in 1K89.

He (Kichardeon) was never regularly connected with the Tribune. Witness was applied to, to get a lawyer for the prosecution. Only applied to Judge Pierre, and he refused. Witness said he had no interest in the case. Mr.

Graham here asked a question relative to the Astor House marriage. Mr. Graham said he proposed to show the bias of the witness, and that he was so implicated in this affair that he required to be well represented to defend himself. The recorder said he should exclude it Graham excepting. Mr.

Greeley: If he wss to contribnte to the expenses of the prosecution he should do so. Knew ore person who had contributed money for this purpose. Never asked one to contribute. Remembered writing an article on the subject of revenge, having this case in his eye. Never wrote- irc written, muj editorial in reierenee to this case in any paper other than the Tribune.

Witaess was interviewed by a reporter. Read the account in the Sun afterwards. Reporter did not tell him his name. Did not think the interview was to be published. Did not know he was being iewtd.

Mr. Graham here read the interview alluded tr. Mr. Greeley denied several portions of it, particularly those that put oaths in his (Greeley's) mouth, and made him give utterance to the Free Love" sentiment; never encouraged Mrs. McF.

in her attachment to Kichardson: never spoke of the matter to Mrs. Calhoun; did give Mrs. Calhoun a letter of introduction to Henry Ward Beecher. iJ. With what view did you write that letter? The admission of this testimony was objected to by Mr.

Garvin. Mr. Graham said he hail a right to show that Mr. Greeley and others had control of this case, and that his testimonv was not impartial. He had a right to show if the witness was bribed, and he should have a right to show if the witness were biased.

Mr. Graham did not wish to impeach Mr Greeley's testimony, but be wished to show the Jury that they should regard it with very many grains of allowance. The Recorder ruled it inadmissible. Mr. Graham excepted.

Samuel Sinclair, publisher of the Tribune, was the next witness. He knew McFarland and wife; remembered an interview between them at the house of witness in 1)567. State what occurred. his was objected to by the defence, on the Kound that insanity was not claimed fore the intercepted letter was received, and this interview was prior to that. A long debate ensued between the counsel.

At length tte testimony was admitted by the Recorder. McFarland said the prisoner wanted an interview with her. She refused until her father would be present. Mrs. McFarland told prisoner that his conduct had driven out all the affection she ever had for him, and she would no longer live with him.

This interview occurred on the 24th of February, ISffT. McFarland spoke to witness that evening, asking him to speak to Mr. McElrath in his favor. Witness and McFarland sjioke about the separation. Witness tried to put courage into him.

Thought the prisoner spoke to him of becoming an actor. Witness told him now would be the time to prove himself a great lawyer. McFarland said he never coald live again with Mrs. the separation was total. The prisoner was in the habit ot calling on witness frequently.

The next time witness saw McFarland he spoke sharply to him against trying to prejudice his son Percy against his mother. The prisoner often asked witness where Richardson was, and sometimes where Mrs. McFarland was. The last time witness saw McFarland, he merely looked into his room but did not come in. Richardson was sitting in the room at the time.

McFarland told witness that if Richardson ever married Mrs. McFarland he would shoot In reference to the first shooting it was when Richardson and his wife were going home ftom the theater. He had a conversation with prisoner about Percy's going to school and mix with other hoys rather than that the prisoner should tjrh him. A recess was here taken. LONDON TO-DAY.

The Richmond Xetct of last evening has the following account: Our city has this day been visited by one of those terrible calamities, as do not occur more than once in two or throe generations. We have to mourn the loss of some of our best and most prominent citizens, by the falling in of the floor of the room of the Court of Appeals, which had assembled for the purpose of delivering its decision in the case now pending, in wbicn the question of the mayoralty is to be decided. The interest felt in this question caused the largest attendance that ever before met in the room. No event which bas occurred in Richmond since the bnrning of the Theatre in 1811 has brought to our people such a shock as the occurrences of to-day. In time of war, when men's souls were braced to encounter horrors, we looked with a kind of forced composure upon death and wowids; but on a bright and beautiful spring day, in a time of profound to see our beautiful Square covered with the forms ot the dead, the dying, and the maimed, has fallen on hs like a bolt of thander from a cloudless J00 persons, was seen to sink a little and ahape invSSd J1 huge crater.

"In the whole couroe of our existence, we bare never taken oar pen under a deeper gloom than we teal at this moment. It falls to oar tot to word om at the moot distressing scenes which 1 can happen In the whole circle of human affairs. 1 he reader mint excuse the incoherence ot the narrative; there is scarce a dry eye in this distracted city. Weep, my fellow for we have seen a night of woe, which scarce anv eye had sc? a. or ear bath heard, and no tongue can adequately tell.

How can we describe the scene" No pen can paint it; no imagination can conceive it. A whole theatre wrapt in gay and animated assembly suddenly thrown on the very verge ol the ot them, oh! how lnanv precipitated in a moment into eternity? and beauti, and old age aud genius overwhelmed in one promiscuous groans, and human agony in every the heartrendingseene that we are called upon to describe. We sink under the effect. Header, excuse our feelings tor they are the teelings of a whole city. l.et us collect our ideas as well as we can.

On Thursday night a new play ami a new afterpiece were played for the benefit ot Mr. Placide. Crowds swarmed to the wa- the ullest bouse this were not less than tWO present. The plav went oil? the pantomime began, the first act was over. The wbo)e scene was before us.

and all around us was mirth and festivity. On, God what a horrible revolution did one minute produce. The curtain rose on the second act of the orchestaa was in full chorus, and Mr. West came on to open the scene, when sparks of fire began to tall on the back part or the stage, and Mr. Robertson camcout in unutterable waved his kaud to the ceiling, and uttered these appalling "The house is on His hand was immediately stretched forth to the in the stage box to help them on the stage, and aid their retreat in that direction.

This is all that we caugbt of the stage, the cry of tire.fire, passed with electric velocity through the one flew from their seats to gaiu the lobby and stairs. The scene battles all nescription, the most heart-rending criea pervaded the house; '-save me;" "save me." wives asking for their husbands; females and children shrieking. while the gathering element came rolling on its curling flames and column of smoke, tlireateninsto devour every hu nan beir.g in the building. Many were trod umW toot. Several were tl rown ack from the which they were struggling to leap.

The stairways were immediately blocked up; the throng was so great that manr were rained several feet over the heads or the rest; the smoke threatened an instant destruction. We cannot dwell on this picture. We felt others we Save up ourselves for loat. We cannot depict it. lany leaped 1 row the windows of the first story and were saved.

Children and females and men of all descriptions, were seen to precipitate themselves on the ground below, of these escaped, though several ot them with broken legs and thighs and hideous contusions Most, If not all, who were in the pit, es aped. Mr. Taylor, the last of the musicians wlo quitted the orchestra, finding bis retreat by the back way ut-ofl, leaped into the pit, whence he entered the semi-circular avenue which leads to the door of the theater, and lound it nearly empty. He was the that escaped from the pit. How melancholy that many who were in the boxes did not also jump into the pit and fiv in the same direction; but those who were in tLe boxes above and below pushed for the many, mm said; escaped through the windows, but the most of them had no other resource than to descend the stairs.

Many escaped in this way. but so great was the pressure that they retarded each other until the devouring element approached to sweep them into eternity. Several who even emerged from the building were so much scorched that they have since perished. Some even jumped irom "the aecond-stery window; some others had been dreadfully buint. The fire tiew with a rapidity almost bevond example; within ten minutes after the whole house was wrapt in flames.

The colored lc in the gallery, most ot them, thro ugh the stairs cut otl front the of the have no doubt talicn The pit and LoxtS liail but one common avenue. nly through which the whole crowd could escape, save those only who through the windows. But the scene which ensued it is impossible to with dishevelled hair; fathers ami mothers shrieking out for their childreu. husbands for their wives, brothers for iheir sisters, filled the whole area on the outside of the building. A few who hail escaped, plunged again into the dames to save some dear object ot their regard, and they perished.

The Governor, perhaps, shared this melancholy fate, others were frantic, and would have rushed to destruction but for the hand of a friend. The bells the whole town rushed to the fatal spot. The flames must have caught to the scenery from some light behind. Kobertson saw it when i it was no longer than his arm. Young saw it on the roof when it first burst through.

Every article ot the theater was consumed, as well as the dwelling house next to it; but what is wealth in comparison to the valuable lives which have gone forever. The whole town is shrouded in woe. Heads of iamilies extinguished forever. Many and many is the bouse in which a chasm has been made that can never be filled up. We cannot dwell on this picture; but look on the following catalogue of the victims and then conceive the calamity hich has fallen us.

from Committee on Ventilation ot the Hall of the House, reported a joint resolution appropriating out O( the contingent fund of the House, to be exi nded in securing better ventilation of tho Halt. Mr.denckcs da great deal had already done the a ay ot gttting information on tine subject, bat the ot different scientillo minds were various, and appropriation for the purpose ot examining the reports that been submitted, and alter waMM arriving at the best t.lati fot ventilation. Mi Uarficld 1 Mno asked whether 'he Committee on Ventilation had any to rem the hall, or whether it war confined to tbe subject ot ventilation of the room as at preHent situated ar.d lot.an d. He made this because he had some doubts whether any systeia could be available until the plan ot the'hall wm changed. In his opinion the hall ought to ho nearer to the free air ot lleaven, and not hemmed in as it now Is, where no fresh air cas reach it.

He suggested that the Committeo rooms from tbe east and west parts of tbe liall( should be removed, and tlie galleries other, aise constructed, aad that would give better acccaa to Um pom air. He did not know but it would be to remove tho galleries altogether. That would certainly tend to pusn forward the legislation of tLe country, and there would be more debato and less oratorical effort: for. when got up here, and the galleries were fall, they instinctively frit that there was aa audtenoo present, and branched oft into aa oratorical.

It was really fearful to alt here at an evening session with a thousand gas-burnera pouring their light down, scorching the scalp and tbe brain. It was a clear caae of roasting by slow The committee, he thought, should therefore have control of this matter also. Mr.

Morrill (Me.) suggested that one great cause of the foul air in this Hall was the practice of members to smoke and fill tbe air with tobacco smoke. Tbe cloak rooms had been turned into smouking rooms, and this was abolished there could not be proper ventilation. He knew ot no place that woabl be so well adapted to smoking bacon this Hall. Tbe bacon might smell of tobacco, bat ifc would be bacon nevertheless. Mr.

Wood (K.T.J agreed with Mr. Uartteld that tbe hallshoaldbe nearer to the outside air. He thought this might be accomplished bv removing some of the committee rooms and tho Speaker's room, and then the galleries would not need to be disturbed, for the air could bo let in under them. Mr. Co rode also spoke of the necessity of a change.

He thought the currents at the bad a came mostly fVorn the galleries, and soma kits should be devised as to them if the otome a i is abould ject intended waa to be accomplished. Mr. said he had no doabt the Hmwo was satisfied that tkere was a diversity of opinion on subject, and he would call the pro vioim The reaolution wm then passed.
