EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, ———— ee Camasan Court—Triat or Ecouestoy.— After we wont to press yesterday, the wit- nesses for the prosecution present were called and sworn Dr. Elliot testified as on the irial of Sulli- van to the nature and direction of the wound ‘upon deceased, and to its having occasioned his death. Officer A E. L. Keese reiterated the opinion expressed on the former trial that Sullivan struck the blow which killed deceased. The witness testified to having got the knife, pro- duced in court, from the house of Eggleston’s father in-law, and to having found a piece of sed in the sheath of this knife stained with lood. Conrad Jost testified (Mr. Walters trans lating) that he did not see Eggleston strike deceased, but saw Sullivan give him a push, and saw something glitter in Sullivan’s hand but does not know what it was; docs not know that he saw Eggleston. U. Geier saw Sullivan give Bell a push; Eggleston was six or eight feet off Conrad Beckert saw Sullivan and Eggleston at the Park, but did not sco them strike the blow. Mrs. Schussler called.—Sullivan came to her house and said, “ I’ve lost my bat; I left it at Beckert’s; by God, 1’ll have it if L have to murder somebody and go to the peniton- tiary.’’ Ne. Keese, recalled—After the fight Myers was a clot of blood all over; Sullivan had a baton when the thrust was made at Kohr- man; witness picked up the hat near the spot. Vandoline ‘Nos, called—Saw Sullivan and Eggleston at the Park, on the 4th of July; was keeping the gate there; before witness knew that Bell was dead Sullivan came to witnes3 and asked him to let him out; he asked for his hat; when he came back for his hat he said he was ‘‘ Sorry the affair occurred, it was a shame to murder a man in that way,” aod that he was ready to be arrested. V. Dengel, called.—Saw Eggleston about seven o’clock that day; saw him have a knife similar to the one on the table in court. Mr. Neff, called.—Saw Eggleston outside and Capt. Kobrman talking in a friendly wan- ner with him. ; Wm Sullivan, called.—When this witness took the stand a profound silence ensued, and the audience manifested much interest to gather the nature of his testimony. Mr Wharton being absent, Mr. Key told the wit- ness to be seated, but he very coolly replied “No! I can stand,” and remained ia his posi- tion. Sullivan testified that he was at Beck- ert s on the 4th of July; that he was engaged in a fight with Myers, who struck witness with a loaded whip; witi hen went away, but returned for his hat; did not see this knife thers at any time; the prisoner never tuld wit- ness that he had killed deceased; witness told prisoner at Frankinberger’s of the death of the man; witness never struck deceased with a knife Thos. Dawson, called.—Saw Eggleston on the night of the 4th, 10 or 1] o'clock, at Frank- inberger’s; saw him with akuife. (Witness identified the knife ) There was blood on the knife and on the lappell of prisoner’s coat; he said he had killed a man atthe Park; told witness he wou'd give him $10 to cut his (prisoner’s) throat. C Frankinberger, called—Saw the prisoner on 4th of July ; saw blcod on him ; heard the conversation between Sullivan and Eggleston ; took Eggleston apart and told him he would have to leave that night ; Egpleston then said hejwould give $10 to witness to cut his throat. Wo. Sullivan, recalled— Eggleston advised witness to leave; witness refused ; knows the fact that Eggleston left the city ; witness went with him, and came back the next evening Dawion, recalled—Saw Eggleston have that knife the day after June election {saiah Stewart, called—Was at Beckert’s that evening ; met Eggleston at the cross keys; he asked witness’s brother to Ict him ride to Beekert’s; saw him with a knife at a pic nic on Fourteenth street before witness went tu the Park ; did not see Bell struck ; don't know who struck Bell; witues:’s brother tapped him with a riding kg ae he passed. Daniel Stewart saw Eggleston give deceased a light tap on the shoulder, but not in anger; saw no knife or blood about Egglestun; saw a man named Thoma have a knife, which looked like a cheese kuife. Mre. Padgett testified to hearing Sullivan say, in Eggleston s house, that he had killed aman Sullivan was recalled, and asked if ho were at Eggleston's. The Court interposed, und the question was not allowed Mrs. Padgett, recalled—Sullivan said ‘‘ I have killed @ man;’’ it was at Eggleston’s house, and the conversation was between Sul- livan and Eggleston’s wife ; Mrs. Eggleston is hard cf bearing The evidence of S. Hieseman was admitted, and is the same az given before. i T. Hood called. —Saw Eggleston at Dor- sey s stable that evening; he came by himseif about half-past nine o'clock; he told witness he had killed a man at the Park; he showed witness the bloody knife; he held it up under the light; the blood was all over the handle; Witness told him he had better put it away HN. Steele called.—Was at Frankenber- ger’s when Eggleston was there; heard him say he would give $10 to somebody to cut his throat ; that's all The Court then adjourned to allow the Uni- ted States to prucure absent wituesses. TO-DAY. Jas. Skreeve sworn —Knows the prisoner; saw him 4th July about 8 or 9 o’clock, p. m., at corner of Seventh and I street, at Dorsey’s; beard him say that he had a fight at the Park; he said he bad been there; witness went away, for the purpose of getting out of his way ; saw bim bave a knife; he pulled out knife far enough for witness to see it; witness didn’t netice bived on it; dido’t hear him say he killed a man; he looked ag if he had been drinking The case waa closed here, the defence effer- ing no evidence The District Attorney addressed the jury, giving a review of the testimony and asking the jury to give it a {air consideration. Mr. Chilton followed for the defence, ex- cusing himeclf and associate for not having ecepted the proposal of the District A.torney to sabmit the case to the jury without argu- ment. [communicateD. Paivate Someg Mlusicans.—Seldom has it been our good fortune to nd @ concert where excellence predominated in every part, but on this occasion the directors of the Acad- emy of Music, Mr. Palmer and Mr Crouch. provided an entertainment for the lovers of unsurpaszed in the annals of Washing- on, the occasion being the inauguration musical institution. The lecture room efully a. ed, having a raised plat- form some 1S inches high in the centre of the all in front, aod round which cat the beauty, intellect, wealth and fashion of the city. The programme was filled with chvice and classi- cel moreeaus. Kalkbrenner’s grand quintette in C, commenced the concert, a. by Messrs. Palmer, Kieckhoefer, Crouch, Berg- wan and bis son. Tbe combination being recherche we need scarecly add, that the exe- Cution of this quintetie was brilliant in the extreme. The vivlonceilist having resigned his instrument, what was our surprise to find in him the composer, F. Nichalls Crouch, the vocal dircetor of St. Matthew’s church, and a siuger of great dramatic power. His first ef- fort was ascena, “ Friend of the Brave,”’ b br. Calicott, a gloricus specimen of English sous writing, and as gloriously rendered, bis mauily voice rolling forth in colossal strength through every ear and heart. His style is pure and unaffected, his manner confident in his ability, and bis impersonations of the au- thor truthful, fearless and faultless. Just such a man was required in our midst, and with pleasure we record the fact of bis being arsclate master in the Academy of Music, with our pianist, Mr Palmer. Next in order follewed ** Duo Concertante,” violin and piano orte, in which the beauties of the violin were poured forth in artistic excellence, by the pu pil of the great Lafont, and never was master and style more judiciously and tastefully ren dered ; his tone is liquid, round, and full, and bis portraiture of the music graceful in tho extreme This was the gem cf the first part of the concert “Kathleen Mavourneen, ’ a song which has become the household word of every family wae next in order, sung by the author, and to hear the song in its perfect rendition, we commend every lover of the pure ballad to go and hear tke author’: reading—a little drama in iteelf, so touchingly does he render it. To Mr Palmer's abilities as a pianist we have had such frequent occa- eo of drawing —— attention that praise a ". instrument appears created for he masterly exhibitions, and no musical conceit, or flight of fancy presents giant strength he grapples with touch f inepiratio i — od by gifted ich of i 2 on possessed gu minds such as Mr. Palmer 8. id The second part opened in Beethoven’s Grand Trio in minor, piano forte, violin, and violoncello, the ance of which was perfection, the combinations and quali- tics of the three executants being of that high wrought nature, it was difficult to individual- ise either as superior to the other; and, at times, it was di ay to os whether renee) three persons, pla: together, so oxact, an with a Psion was it performod. Asa lyric and vocal i'ustration, we would particularize Mr. Crouch’s “ Wanderer.” A more refined and masterly reading of this song could not be given. Mendelssohn’s Cantabile on the violin, was a delicious repast; so much so, that a unanimous encore was demanded, and as elegantly complied with The evening closed with the improvisatore of the great ianist, in which he even excelled himself. ‘his terminated the concert: and a more re- fined, classical and brilliant affair, honorable to the projectors, and satisfactory to the audi- tory, never graced a hallin Washington. We understand that these concerts are to he given atregular stated times Success attend them. ASSAULT AND Batrery.—About 12 o'clock on Saturday night, a Mr Rogers, who lives in the Seventh Ward, stepped out of his house on Four-and a-half street near Maryland ave- nue, and was accosted by Poter Kurts, who was standing with others on the side walk, and asked if he was a Fremont man. He ree plied that he was no politivian. Kurtz then asked if he was not a Fillmoro man? Mr Rogers told him ‘* No,’’ and was about welk- ing away whon Kurtz struck him on the head and knocked him down Kurtz was arrested by Mr. Neitz, of the auxiliary guard, and taken to the guard house. In tho morning he was held to bail in $200 for his appearance at the Criminal Court. Tar Coxcert To-Nigut, at the National Theatre, pleasantly interests many minds, and the lovers of music, this morning throngod the ticket office of that establishment to engage seats for the grand performance. Parodi and her troupe cannct fuil to be gratified with this demonstration in their fayor—this apprecia- tion of their rare artistic talents. By eleven o’clock all the orchestra seats wero sceured, as were many of those of the dress circle, and even the front range of seats were engaged for the second concert to take place to-morrow night. — Inpiana Avexur —The popular commis- sioner of public buildings, Dr. Blake, havin returned from his late visit to the North, (an looking, by-the-by, in marriage trim,) is pros- ecuting an improvement, long ago required, in the neighborhood of the railroad station, and for which Congress, during tho recent Session, made anappropriatioa. It is the extension of the culvert (on the south sixty, and on the north fifty-two fect) over Tiber creck, at Indi- ana avenue—covering the entire width of that thoroughfare. Mr Wiggs is the mechanic having the work immediately in charge; a guarantee that it will be well and substan- tially executed. PoLg-RAISING AT TBNNALLYTOWN.-—We have been favored with three separate ac- counts of the Democratic demonstration at Tennaliytown, which took place yesterday, when there was a pole raised in honor of Buchanan and Breckinridge. They all rep- resent the proceedings as intensely interesting and enthusiastic. The speakers were Messrs. Crawiord, Cook, the Mayor of Washington, Bigger, Irwin, and General Joba H. Eaton. Orricer R. W. Dove in arresting a person from Virginia named Graham, yesterday, on charge of passing counterfeit moncy, was se- verely beaten by him. Graham was examined before Justice Hol- lingshead, and discharged. A Hanpexep Sixner —The woman men- tioned in the wath returns went to the guard house to enter complaint agaiust others, but was proved to be in fault herself, and was this morning sent to jiil and ordered to pay a Cuor- oration fine of $18 She asked to bo sent to —I as soon as her term in jail should expire. A Case ror rae Potice —Wo hear that a gang of half grown white boys congregate on the corner of H and sixth streets to the great annoyance of those living in the neighborhood and that on several cecasions they have in sulted ladies in passing by addressing them with obscene and profane language.
