The attendance of ators: was large, and much interest was manifested 5 the examination. Mr. R. S Davis, sp- peared forthe defence, and the examination commenced. . Edwin Bentley, assistant surgeon, U. S.A. sworn.—I attended George Williams after he was brought to the hospital barracks. He was brought in between 12 and 1 o'clock on Thors- day nightand Friday morning, 12th and 13th t. Upon examination I found him feeble, and complaining of much having previously bad him laid upon bed. wound was between the th and eighth ribs, on theleft side, puss- ery pan, ing into the diaphragm and stomach down- wards and inward. Through the opening the food passed out, and I run my fingers in, get- Ung the stomach and sewing it up, afterwards replacing it. The injury was a very serious one, and 1 believed it to be fatal after the first examination. There were two other stabs upon his person which I did not regard as se. rious. He died between 12 and i o'clock Saturday last, about thirty-six hours after the stabbing. The wounc must have been wath @ kpife of some size. I do not it could bave been done with a small but think it would require a blade three inches in length to make such a wound. The knife was here shown witness, which ad been found upon the prisoner, which he thought might have inflicted the wound, bat , he thowght it more likely that it was made by a lohger knife. Witness continued—I think the wounds produced Williams’ death; the wound in the stomach, 1 mean, It was a most ove, going through the chest ere it entered the stomach. The wound could have been made when lying down or standing up; it could ave been inflicted by a drunken man, as long as be could use his arms and legs. 1 think the perty that inflicted the wound was im front of ibe decexsed. All these wounds were on the jett side. The other two were one on the shoulder-blade, and the other under the arm, on the leit side. The wound wasa puncture, pionged squarely in. The deceased was conscious to the last. 1 did not hear him snything about the fight. Heard him say he aud Eldridge had always been friendly. Georye Hinds, steward of tho hospital, sworn. 1 am Steward of the hospital, and was ac- cuginted with George Williams. 1 brought into the hospital. I was woke up by Din- ici Scott. Who told me there was & man stab- bed. I got up and went ont, and assisted to bring the deceased in. He was lying on the pavement in front of Dr. McCoy’s. I had some conversation witb him. He said he asked ycClelland to drink, and they got to sparring s the counter. He thenght tnat McClelland was putting in too airs, and he struck tim bard. I judge by our conversation that be two had been sparring friendly together, but got angry and went to fighting, and then Eldridge rushed in and stabbed Williams. He 30 p. m. on Saturday. in Rutherford, sworn.—About twenty inutes to 12, on Thuredsy night, Eldridge d MeClelland came into my house; they got sparring together, but I told them 1 wanted to close up, and then they stopped. A tew minutes before 12 o’clock Williams came in. As he came in, McClelland put his hands up, ack at bim playfully, and they exchanged. biows. 1 ran between them, but they passed biows over me. It all commenced in a playtal monner. When McUlelland and Wiilams were together, near the bagateile table, El- cridge Tun up and struck Williams three times, as bard as he could strike, with & knife. I saw the blade on the third ume. He \ » ck him on the left side. I sung out, Ob! my God, he has a knife!” Eldridge had never been struck in the house. There was no prov- ccation between the two (Eldridge and Wil- Lams) that 1 saw. I did not try to separate them. After the stabbing I sung out for the poltce. I gaye Wiiliams water when he lay upon the floor, but it run out of the wound. Eldridge is the man that committed the mur- cer, as sure as thereisaGod. Eldridge run out atter he had stabbed Williams, going out ine back door. McClelland was under the bed Daniel Se sWorn.—I went into Rutherford’s on Thursday night, to get something to eat with my friends. A's I was coming out I met Williams going in. I saw him and McUlel- Javd spar, bat thought it was all infun. 1 beard a fall, and Scanlon, one of my friends, came running in and said that Williams was abbed. Williams was brought out leaning jomebody, and he sat in the door step and said that s—n of a b—h has stabbed me. I sted, with others, in getting him to the hospital. 1 saw a man running down the street sMortly after the stabbing, but did not know whe it'was. The prisoner did not have ayblack eye when he was in Rutherford’s. Mithael Scanton was sworn and testified sul stantially the same as David Scott. Though’ there was no ill feeling between the parties. ‘There was no provocation given by Williams tor Elaridge to strike him. Thought that Eia- though he bad been Tidge was not drunk, oripking. Lewis M.cBateman was next sworn aud testi- fied to the” effect, that Eldridge confessed to him that he bad stabbed Williams, but had Gone so because he had been attacked. He ex- pressed no regrete the transaction. After wards 1 went Co camp and found there officers iu pursuit of the man who stabbed Williams ‘Went with officers to Fighting Alley, where Vidridge was arrested. At the conclusion of the examination, theac- cused were fully committed for court. —_—_ PROPOSED New Livz or RIVER STEAMERS. —A meeting of merchants and river captains was held at the rooms of the Board of Trade on last Saturday aftercoon, for the purpose of alscussing the feasibility of establisbing a line of light-dranght steamers to ply between Washington and points on the Potomac river and its tributaries. The meeting was called to ordez, and Mr. Wm. H. Ulaggett called to the cbair Mr. S. V. Noyes acted as secretary. Mr. John R. Elvans stated that he under- stood that the meeting was called to take into consideration the organization of a joint stock company for the purpose of purchasing steam- ere to ply on the Potomac between points on the Potomac, so that the produce of the farms slong the river might be brought to Washing- ton instead of Baltimore. Capt. Stackpole stated as his opinion that the project would pay. The trade in produce slong the river went to Baltimore city when i should be brought to the Washington mar- ket. Two boats would be required to trans- port the produce of the farmer. Capt. Miller said he bad been identified with this project for some time. 1t was his opinion that if the company was organized, they might toake ten per cent. on $40,000. The facilities should not exceed that of an expense of $10,000, and increased afterward. ‘ashington city should not complain tnat the trade of the jarmers down the river were not proughtto this city, for there were no facilities to get it here: what produce was not taken to Balti- more was left to rot; boats coming to Washing- ton from Baltimore, would not stop at these various landings along the river, and therefore the produce of farmers could not get to We: hington. The rate could be reduced on freight coming up the river to less than is now cuarged, for the Teason that the expense of Tunning® steamer up the river by the stock- company, would be much less than the ex- Pebse of ramming one of the large steamers Low on the river. Capt. B. Frere stated that there would be more freight along the river than any two ts could carry, and said vessels of about 119 feet in length, drawing about 5 feet, to en- “ble them to run up the creeks, were the kind Teqvired. whieh could be purchased or ballt cheaply, @nd would pay for themselves In less than one year. Mr. Boyd, thought the project would not suc- cred unless co-operation could be had from the farmers along the river. He read an estimate ofthe assignmentof stock for the company which assigned to Washington 349,000, George- town $20,000, Alexandria $10,000, Norfolk $2,100, and along the river $15,000. Capt. Stackpole stated that if it was proposed to puta line of steamers on the ri fa ar faras Norfolk, $100,000 would not be sufficient, as it Would take larger apd stronger boats. Mr. Thorn moved that @ committee of three te appointed to consult with the prominent business men of the city and Georgetown and Teport atan adjourned meeting to be held at ¢vensng when more business men could be present, Mr. Boyd moved to amend the motion by in- #'ructing the committee ro report @ pian of or- €snization for the Jom? Stock Company; which Wns accepted and the motion carried Captain Stackpole suggested that the com- Mitte be instructed to bring in an estumate of the cost, capacity, &e., of two steamers to be Used! on the Hine.

It appears that for three years past he has been paying attentions toa Miss J., of Alexandria, wito is said to bea very beautiful young lady,—our hero always epi of her as the «Belle of Belle Haven”—but trom a want of boldness or 01 other cause, bis suit progressed slowly, and although the parties were engaged, it is said, et the day for the marriage was not fixed. he Isdy was always agreeable—she could not urge baste—and our lover was satisfied in the sunlight of her smiles. and did not seem particularly anxious for @ closer union. But delays are dangerous. Going home a few days since, he hastened to call on his sweet- heart, but was horrified to learn that she had gone off with another beau. He could not credit the statement, because, as he expresses it, he had ‘called on ber on the Sunday night besore, and she said nothing about it.’ Going to her house he heard the whole story, and his worst tears were confirmed. His insmorata bad met a few weeks before, at some social ‘athering, 8 gentleman from down the river. fle was an impetuous wooer, it appears trom the sequel,and must have made a deep im- pression on the susceptible heart of Miss J., as she corresponded with him for a few short weeks, and the second time they met she was married to him, and he carried her off to his farm near Sandy Bar, on the Potomac riv- er. Lover No. I was almost distracted at bearmg this story, and lamented when too late, the dilatoriness which had lost him such @ prize. Then engaging a boat. himself, the young lady’s father, amd a mutual friend Towed down to Sandy bar, where he sought the bride—her husband was not at home—and astormy scene ensued. She expressed her- selt as very well satisfied with the choice she had made, and her jilted lover, therefore, of- fered to surrender all bis claims if she would return him the jewelry he had given to her during their long courtship. This she positive- ly refused to do. TwWe trio then left the bouse and betook themselves to a melon patch on the farm, where the discarded one not be- ing able to get satisfaction from the newly married couple, re venged himself on their fruit. Feeling retreshed, the party. towards evening, Tenewed the attack on the bride, and learned. from ber that the husband had been home, thet he had ordered a surrender of the jewelry, and bad gone off again threatening if the par- ty crossed his path to te them up to trees and give them a good flogging all round. This was treatment they were not prepared for, and securing the bracelets, earrings, &c., they speedily re-embarked in their row boat, and made fair time to Alexandria. The Alexan- | drian bas since consulted a lawyer as to pro- ceedings for invalidating the marriage, but as the principal parties interested are satisfied with each other, and Alexandria is not Chica. go, bis prospects of untying the kuot are not at present yery flattering. a gs, THe Baitey Manston.—Mr. J.

In THE WronG Hovsz.—On 6th street in this city, not a balf dozen squares north of the avenue, there is a row of six houses, similar in plan and construction: so much so that it would be difficult tor a stranger to tell one from the other, except by the numbers on the dcors. On Thursday night a gentleman. who boards in one of theee tenements, came home at a rather late hour, applied his latch key, entered the door, and, in order not to disturb the other inmates, carefully groped his way up stairs to his chamber. Enter- ing tbe oor, he was so absorbed in pleasant thoughis of the evening he had passed with his jriends, that he observed nothing strange in the apartment, until be turned on a full bead of gas when casting his eyestowards the bed he observed three female heads rise from their pillows, three pairs of eyes dis- tended in astonishment and indignation, and three rosy mouths simultaneously opening, and ejaculating “A man—oub-h-h-h” ending in a piercing scream, when the three heads simultaneously popped under the cover. This was certainly an embarrassing situation for a bashiul man. Of those mysterious occupants of his couch he wondered, as the King did of the apples in the dumplings “how the d—I they got there.” This question was per- plexing evovgb, put was speedily succeeded by the horrible thought that perhaps this was not bis apartment, and he was the intruder. Quickly satisfying himself of the correctness of this conclusion, he fled the room: but in bis Paste and confusion failed to find the front door and blundering tbrongh the halls and passages, found his way into the parlor where be ran against the piano, upset chairs, tumbled over sofas, barked his shins against the stools, and raised such an uproar that all in the house were awakened, under the im- pression that a desperate band of burglars—a dozen at least, from the noise—were ransack: ing the premises. Finally he managed to make his escape from the house, and was about to gain bisown domicile, when a sten- torean voice over his head shonted, “stop.” He looked up and saw by the light of the moon, 8 pistol held in a remarkably steady hand, bearing point blank on his devoted head. ‘The voice again shouted, “Don’t you stir hand or foot unl some one comes, or I will shoot youcertain. Stay where you are.” Deeming discretion the better part of valor, he stayed. and did not dare even to open his mouth, or wag an eyelid. Ina few minutes—looking at the pistol, he thought they were hours—some one” came down with a light; the necessary explanations were made, and the victim of these adventure: of a night, cought his virtu- ous but lonely couch, in his own house next door, to dream of the houris who had appeared to him, before their heads were lost under the bed cover. a Base BALL..-Saturday was a spirited tim among the votaries of that health-inspiring game—base ball. The second nines of the Na- tenal and Interior base ball clubs played a match game on the grounds of the former, in the afternoon, on which occasion the attend- ance of spectators was very large, and the playing unusually good.

The congregation promptly met the appeal by a noble contribu- tion of $150 with very little effort, (just lik them.) Itis thought that $100 more can be se- cured from absent’ members of the congrega- tion. including @ contribution from the Model Sabbath School of this Church, which is now svpporting at a co3t of $700 a flourishing Mis- sion in the northern part of thecity. Any con- tribution for the cause above mentioned will be received, we understand, by Charles H e, 424 Pennsylvania avenue, or by Rey. E. C.

The foundations were Jaid ‘this spring, and the work will soon be ready for the roof. We have heard it stated that work on none of the public buildings ever advanced so rapidly before, and the fact is creditable to the supervising architect, Mr. Mullett, and his able assistants in charge of each branch of the construction. Neither the strike of the bricklayers nor the breakinz of one of the monolithic columns delayed the work more than a day or two. Either occur- rence would have severely interfered with iis progress if there had been a want of good man- agement. HowTo Go TO ANTIETAM.—An excursion train to the Antietam battle ground will leave the depot in this city at 6 o'clock to-morrow morning, to enable our citizens te witness the dedication ceremonies. This train will return to-morrow evening. The regular trains leav- ing here at7 and 7.45 will connect with the trains West. Reund-trip tickets are issued, good for four days, at $6 each; and doubtless Jarge numbers of our citizens will avail them. selves of this opportunity to visit the famous battle ground. The Baltimore and Ohio road Uompany have made all the nece-sary arrangements for the security and comtort of those who attend, and the trains to-morrow will no doubt be crowded. The ceremonies are to be on @ magnificent scaly, and many of the Most distinguished people in the country will be present The occasion will be oneto be ra- membered by all who are fortunate enough to ‘witness it. ——_-—___ ACCIDENT —On Saturday afternoon an acci- dent occurred to Mrs. Jane Caruthers, residing on the Isiand, near the steamboat landing, by ‘which three ofgher teeth were broken off level with the jaw bone and a portion of the alveolus rocess fractured. Mrs. ©., in going from the front of the house to the room used as the kitchen, hitched her feet in the carpet, and tripping, fell against the sharp edge of the cooking stove, sustaining such injuries as are above described, besides lacerating and cutting her lips in a shocking manner.
