Mr. Bradiey.—Booth was not there. Judge Pierepoint thought everything to show light on the snbject was proper and ad- missable. lt was proper to prove a signal whistle or anything of the kind. The Court said it was necessary to hear the answer, ifit bad anything to do with the mur- der of the President it would be admissable, if not it would be ruled out. The question was then put as to what the Witness saw or heard at the house on H street Witness said as be, with Sergeant Oooper, Was passing duwn H street, a woman raised TELEGRAMS, &c.

Primary No. 9, 4th District, Miss Fowler, acting teacher, was examined yesterday by Dr. Croggon, trustee. This school has been or- ganized only eight months, and considering the fact that nine-tenths of the scholars did not know thetr’ A. B. O.’s when they entered, the progress made is very good; order tolerable. As usual in the 4th District, the parents showed their interest by their presence im goodly numoers. Mr. Cassell, thustee, was present, as were also Mr. E. Holmead, late trastee, (and who bas served most faittully tome eight years,) who made an interesting address, complimenting the school upon the progress made under disadvantages. Re- marks were also made by Dr. Allen, and Dr. Creggon coneluded with a brief address, im- Mensely satisfactory to the pupils, as it an~ nounced & holidy for to-day. familial tiered IMPROVEMENTS.—Among the improvements now goin, on in this city are the tollowing :— Dr. Jor. T. Howard is having erected on 9th street west, between Land M streets north, a fine two-story brick dwelling and back build- Ing, at a cost of £6,000, the whole being 48 feet deep by 20 feet front. The house will contain eigbt rooms, and be fitted up with all modern conveniences. It is the intention of Dr. H.to erect 8 handsome three-story front building at an early day, and, when completed, it will be one of the finest residences in that neighbor- hood. Sergeant Mayor Dunn, of the Marine Corps, is paving erected on G street south, be- tween Sth and 9th streets east, a large three- story frame residence, with two-story back bnilding, the whole to haye eleven rooms, and fitted up with all modernimprovements. The cost of the building, when finished, will be about $6,000. Mr. James H. Mead is havin. erecte@ on 6th street east. between D and streets south, a two-story frame building, with eightroomsand kitchen. Workmen are now engaged in laying the pavement on the east side of 2d street erst, between Pennsyivania ayenue and East Capitol street. try between 12 and 11 o’clock with Mr. Weich- mann, and returued about 9 or 9 o’clock, Saw Surratt inthe dining room with his mother after their retarn from the country. Mrs. Sar- ratt said he was her son and that some clothes she took up to wash were his. Mrs. Surratt asked if he did not look life his sister Anna. Witness had just brought in a pot of tea. Wit- ness never saw the prisoner before this. Question. Do you see the one she said was yher son! Answer. I do. Q. Where is he? A. There he is, (pointing to Surratt.) The prisoner here stood up, and she said tbat he was the one. Witness knew the sister of the prisoner, who ‘was ther mm the house. Cross-examined by Mr. Bradiey:—Witness was examined gt the time she was taken by Capt. Orcut. He carried her to an officer in the night—tne Monday night after the assassination happened somewhere towards the treasury. Witness was carried down to the War De- partment by Mr.Kelley last week and made tbe same statements she had made here. Weichman did not go mto theroom where Surratt was. Never saw him before or since uptil one day last week when he was brought out, Witness bad been at the house three weeks before this. Is certain that she saw him, the night of the assassination. By Mr. Pierrepoint.—Mrs. Surratt called her into the room. James Sangster sworn and examined by Mr. Pierrepont;— Witness resides in Mont and in April, 1865, was book-keeper of St. Law- rence Hall Hotel, Montreal, where he still is employed. {The arrival book, book of bills paid, and a leafont of departure book were exhibited.) Witness found on the book of are Tivale, under the date of April 6th, the name of John H. Surratt, and on April 18tb, the same. Thehour of the last arrival was 1230 noon, and firat 10.30a.m. Afterthe arrival on the 6th, the party who entered his name as John Harrison paid bis bill on the 10th, but did not go until the 12th, when he left fer the New York train at 3, leaving the house 2.45. ‘Witness turned to the Isth, and said he was in the house, but did not stay long. Crose-examined by Mr. Bradley, Jr.—He incurred no bill on the 13th. Could uot iden- tify the prisoner and could not say that he has ever seen him before. The party wore what is called a Garabaidi jacket and was tall. After tbe death of Mr. Lincoin inquiries were made, and he recollected that a person answering the description had stopped there. He was under the impression that he wore a slouch hat. By Mr. Pierrepoint:—Witness does not re- member having seen the man calling bimseif John Harrison, on the 18th. ‘Mr. Bradley said that they would adinit that the prisoner registered the name of Harrison on the 6th at St. Lawrence Hall, left there on 12th, and again returned en the 18th. The defense here exhibited a garment, which was identified by witness as the style of gar- ment known as the Garibaldi garment. At 2.25 the Court took a recess until 100'clock to-morrow. Wes in convereation with him ten or twelve minutes, Did not tell him what be came for, Wentin and said -‘Hallo, John.” He came towards witness. Then saw the excited and pale countenance that he did on the night of the assassination—the face he saw i tront of the theater and the fi he a:terwards saw in bis dreams. The face he saw in prison was , the one he saw in front of the theater, and af- terwards in his dreams. : Question by Mr. Merrick :—*And this is the man !” (pointing to Surratt.) Ans wer.—+ Yes, sir.” Had seen Booth in his dreams. Had seen |the face ofSurrattaione when in a deep study. }Ooly can remember bim in the attitude when ‘the lght was shining on his face, Oould have told him inacrowd. Did not askor request {to see Surratt in jail. Was toid he had better ‘see him and know if he was the man, Knew Booth during his stay in Washingtowin 1561. eines him. Was not on social terms with im. ‘ Question — What is your religious faith. Mr. Carrington.—We object to that . Merrick.— We waive the question Mr. Carrington.—It is not right to introduce any religious inquisi ion. Mr. Merrick.—We den’t propose to tollow you inany way. The Court desircd that there should be no | controversy now. Witness resumed :—Did not believe in spirit- walism; did not believe in dreams; had dreamt he was married, and afterwards married the person of whom he dreamt; did state in the conspiracy trial that the man he saw convers- ing there was John Wilkes Booth; when Pres- ident Lincoin did not come down, Surratt ex- amined the carriage. A portion of the testimony of witness before the conspiracy trial was here read to the wit- ne.s, and hecaid it was true; his mind was clearer now than when he testified there; there were little incidents he did not think ot before, Question You stated before the Military Commiesio:. that the man examined the car- Tiage before the time they expected the Presi- dent to come down. Now you say it was after the time they expected. Which is correct Answer. Ail happened about the same time. Jobn Wilkes Booth was about 5 teet 10% or 1f inchesin height. The mean, tow. villainous- looking man was just such a man as Edward Spangler. Was not as confident of the identity oi Spangler ss he was of Surratt. Did state before the Military Commission that the smaijlest one of the three called the time, and stated so now. The man who cailed the time Was not a iarge man. When he said smail man he meant slim man. Did not mean height atall. Wasa better judge of height now than hewastben. Did not pay particular attention to their height on that night. Picked out Edward Spangler 2s the villainous man at the Old Capitol prison. Did say before the Mili- tary Commission that the man in dirty clothes Was 5 feet © or 9 inches, and the genteel dressed man 5 feet 5 inches. Since had studied it; did not think there was much difference in their height: could notsay now tall Spangler War, be was leaning against the wall Did say be could recognize the well dressed man from his provograph. and recognized the pho- tograph of John Wilkes Booth. Did say the Well dressed man was about 5 fee. 6 inches high. Did not cee the ‘ame person before the Mili- tary Commission as he saw at the Provost Marshal's office. Before the Commission did give a description of John H. Surratt; did not weinemeee if hecuid anything about his pale pce Judge Fisher asked if it was the intention of the defenseto go through with earh witness and cross-examine him as to his previous tes- timony. It there wa; anything on which a witness Was to be contradicied, the founda tion shona first be laid. Mr. Merrick »1id he desired to keep within the rules, and would endeavor to do so. The Uourt here took a recess for fifteen min- utes. On reassembling— Sergeant Dye resumed the stand. and was further cross-examined. There was nothing further than what he had related caused his suspicion. It was at the second cailing of the time that his suspicions were arowsed. Wit- ness ceuld not see the clock sitting on the planks. He sat facing the theatre, and the carriage was a little above him. Thonght that there was something against the President going on, from the whisperings of the parties. The District Attorney here objected to any further cross-examination a3 to the impres- sions of the prisoner, The Court decided the point well taken, and ibe detence excepted. Witness resamed:—Went into an oyster bounce; ordered oysters; sat down to eat them, When &man raninsaying “The President is sbot.”” Ran out toeamp toinform them, be- cause he thought a detail would be made. Told the lady on H street that Booth shot the President. Did not know where the Surratts lived until within a short time back. it rever struck him that the lady he saw on the conspiracy trial was the same he saw oa H cireet, unul afver be learned that she lived on H street. By a juror (Mr. Gittings)—Did he see the entire fuji face of the prisoner on the night of the assssination! Witness—Sometimes three-quarters and Sometimesthe whole of it. By Mr. Alexander, (a juror)—How was he dressed?! Witness —His coat was drab. Hat round, stiffprim. Won’t recollect pants. pees erates econ * A DicoRDERLY GANG BROKEN'UP.—Yester- day Officer Thompson, of the Sixth Ward, arrested Martin Brison alias Dennis, for cra- elly beating a blind man named Pa! ik Gol- ding with a club, severely cutting and bru ing bis head and face. The affair occurred & Louse Kept by &@ woman named Amanda Litue, who. with another named Hollaban, participated in disorderly proceedings during the day, which attracted a largecrowd. The bouse has been & great cause of complaint among the neighbors for months past, and Brison, who appears to be the ring-leader, is known as a desperate character. Justice Tucker sent Brison to jail for court to answer for his brutality, and committed the two women to the work-house. This will afford the neighborhood a few nights of quiet repose, a a Sa FATALITY AMONG AwNIMALS.—There ap- pears to bea fatality among animals in this city thataffords the employees ot the contractor for their remoy#l an abundance of work to do. Since Saturday the reports of animals that had died have been numerous. On Sunday fitteen horses were reporzed. besides smalier animals, and the contractor finds it necessary to in- crease the number of his laborers, and also to work a part of the day on Sunday, and for this purpose he has obtained permission trom tne proper authorities. The haste with which cit- izens report those cases is evidence of their anxiety to have the sanitary regulation in this respect executed. —_—— Public Schools—Annual Examination.

It will be remembered that when the ice pack above the bridge moved last winter a considerable por- ton of the structure was carried away, and an appropriation baving been made, therefor, General Michler ordered its repair, direcung Major Lubey to superintend the work. A foice of about 50 men have been employed tor over 40 days, and the workis said to have been done so faithfully as to make the bridge stronger than itever has been since it was first erected. Sgt SANITARY.—As the sanitary police grow strict in theenforcement of the health regala- tions, itis to be hoped that the contracters for the removal of slops and garbage will in- crease their activity and muke their visits regularly inthe various wards. There have been Bumerons complaints of the non-atten- tien of the garbage men in some localities. This may be caused by the anxiety of house- holders to comply with the law in most cases, but the garbage contractors cannot fail to see the neccssity for prompt attention to daty during the present season.
