Another Man Testifies That Arensdorf Did Not Fire the Fatal Shot. Siotjx Crrr, Iowa, April 7. In the Haddock case yesterday James Junk, Joseph S. Borsch and others testified as to the reputation of Iieavitt and Bismarck. The witnesses were saloon-keepers.

They pror nounced their reputations as very bad. G. Hart, a boarder at Paul Loader's, one of the defendants, testified that he waa one of the crowd that went from Junk's saloon to the scene of the murder. About a half dozen started down with Leavitt; Arensdorf did not go with them. "Leader and I followed the crowd down about 150 feet behind them.

Leader and I passed" by the crowd which was standing by the high board fence. Leader was next to the fence. As we passed the crowd somebody took Leader's hat off and put another hat on Leader. It was a man whom I understand jfco be Leavitt. Ho passed and turned the corner and went south on Water street, between sixty and eighty feet.

Then we heard a pistol shot We looked around instantly. We saw one man stagger and fall and another turning to run away. The man running away had a rubber coat and light pants. I didn't notice his hat. He ran toward the northeast Lester and I walked to the corner of Third street and then went east to the Milwaukee House.

Bismarck was not with us. I never saw him. We got back about 11 o'clock. Bismarck was not at the Milwaukee House. Arensdorf was not the man who fixed the shot.

Pinkerton then told Schwartz he had, according to the latter's story, disposed of somo 1,500, and asked where the balance was. Schwartz said he would get it, as it was in iossession of a friend whom he did not choose to mention, as the latterjwas jwrfectly innocent, had no connection with the mutter whatever, and, in fact, did not know what it was he had, as it was done up in a paekage. Pinkerton asked Schwartz if that party was Newton Watt, and Schwartz replied it was, but he wished his hand had burned oflf' the day he handed the package to him, as Watt was an entirely innocent party. Ho handed the package to Watt, when the latter wanted to know what it was, and Schwartz told him none-of his business. The witness went on to testify thnt Schwartz told him to go to Watt and ask him for the paekage, and if he dollied having it to bring Watt to him.

This the witness did, and, the denial being made, Watt came to Morris and visited Schwartz In jaiL Hero the latter asked the former if he did not recollect receiving a package from him (Schwartz) last fall. Watt said he did not. Schwartz then said: "It is no use trying to deny this, you have told me all along, and whilo I was in jail in Chicago, that you still had the package. Now, Pinkerton know all about it before I said a word to him, so you better tell." Watt then admitted the receipt of the package, but he said ho could not produce it, as it was out of his reach and that it was impossible to get it. Witness further testified that he then left the two defendants together for consultation, and when ho returned' Watt refused to sa3' anything to him at all, and that sinco this last interview he has maintained that ho had never received any package from Schwartz.1'- When asked by witness why ho had formerly admitted having received tlie jjackage he refused to answer, and shortly afterward he was arrested and locked up in the Morris jail.

In tho Impeaching the Testimony of Leavitt and TJisoiarck." Socix Citt, Iowa, April 6. The tenth day of the trial of John Arensdorf, the alleged murderer of Rev. George C.

Haddock, has been completed in the presence of an immense crowd. It is conceded that the State's Attorneys have handled their case in an able manner, and made a strong showing. Thus far the defense has only sought to Impeach the testimony of Leavitt and "Bismarck," the principal witnesses for the prosecution. Moo-day they offered as impeaching evidence and it was accepted by the court Leavitt' confession and his testimony before the Coroner's jury, and the same of "Bismarck" as to his confession. Iu addition to this, impeaching testimony has been given, against Leavitt ad "Bismarck" by equally creditable witnesses and those not suing for executive clemency.

Thus far public opinion is about evenly divided as to the guilt'of the accused. To-day the testimony will bo directed to establishing an alibi, and it is bo intention to place John Arensdorf upon the stand. The most important witness Monday was Charles Schmidt. Ho was playing cards in the Columbia House when the shot was fired. He sprang up.

to the window, saw Haddock just as he fell, and saw two men run north on Water street. Ffteen minutes after the murder he met Arensdorf approaching the scene of the tragedy from the east. It is charged by Leavitt that Arensdorf, as soon as he did the shooting, ran to the brewery and shortly thereafter appeared upon -the street. Haddock staggered about several seconds before falling, and this time, added to fifteen minutes, would Jhave given him time to reach the brewery, change his clothes and reappear. The testimony for the defense is very conflicting in many Instances, but they have produced some very strong impeaching testimony.

To establish an alibi, the defenss will have to show where Arensdorf waa after leaving Junk's saloon, five minutes before the shooting, and up to the time his appearance, fifteen-minutes after the "murder, at the scene of the tragedy. John Diedrich, who boards at the Milwaukee House, kept by Paul Leader, one of tha defendants, swore point blank that "Bismarck" was not at the scene of the murder at all; he was with' him when the shot was fired, two blocks away. Swan Anderson testified that he was west of the brewery about 3Xi feet when the shot was fired and could see no one run in tha pulled tho hair from his own head. back room on the second floor of this establishment there is a baccarat lmard, and at this board Maurice almost nightly Morius, 111., April 7.

Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, ex-Congressman from the Third district of South Carolina, died at his home in Cokesbury Wednesday, after a lingering and painful illnoss. CoL Aiken was one of the foremost scientific farmers in the State, and was probably better known in this State as ud advanced agriculturist than as a politician. He waa for a number of years editor ef the Rural Carolinian, a paper devoted to farming interests.

He was one of the most gallant soldiers of the "lost cause." CoL -Aiken represented his district in Congress lor five consecutive terms. Knr YoR, April 8. Gen. Thomas S.

Monte Cahlo, April 8. A heavy land-side occurred here yesterday. Immense masses of rock and earth slid down and now entirely block tho railway and carriage roads. Trains from Cannes and Mentone, Wiill laden with tourists, had marvelous escapes from destruction, getting over the tracks just in time to avoid annihilation. This land-fall is so great that it will stop all railway communication with Monto Carlo for tho least twenty-four hours.

The land-slide was undoubtedly tho result of the shocks, which tho promontory received during the earthquakes which began along tho whole Riviera on tho morning of Ash Wednesday. The first shock was tho greatest in lorce. It will be remembered that hile all the other towns in tho Riviera wero badly shattered by these earthquakes, Monte Carlo was pronounced entirely unaffected. Scientists ascribed this to tho solid, rocky character of Monaco's formation. Refugees from all the other resorts fKick here.

Yesterday's vast land-slide, occurring as it did, at a point where engineers a generation ngo caused, as they thought, the complete removal of all unstable projections or overhang ings, and where for years the railway and highway travel had been very great, shows how violent the earthquakes were, and that Monte Carlo, contrary to general opinion, was, in reality, badly skakon, although the population did not notice it.
