THe Stapsine oF OFAELES Dumas, 4 SoL- DIER—Death of the Wounded Man.—In yeater- day's edition of the Stam mention was made of the stabbing of Obarles Dumas, member of peares F, 44th United States infantry, at the ban ofa man by the name of Joseph W. N. Zimmer. The ir occurred about 12 o’elock m.,on E street, between 7th and 18th, and ‘was the resultof jealousy. Immediately after the stabbing, Dumas was taken to the dispen- sary of the Reynold Barracks, in White Lot, where he was attended by Dr. Phillips, and a@ferwards removed to the post hospital, dying at twenty minutes to three o'clock. Zimmer, Upon committing the deed, escaped through the house of @ colored woman, leaving therein the knite, which was subsequently recovered, very much beemeared with blood. Shortly atter, he was arrested by the patrol and turned over to officer O’Brien, of the fourth precinct, who conveyed him to the station-house. Zimmer has been living with a woman for some time past in the vicinity where the mur- derous affray took place, and whom he claims as his wife. Dumas had been in the habit of visiting the pair, and Zimmer was jealous of his coming there, and by the testimony of the ‘witnesses, has threatened to take his (Dumas') lite. TI vidence disclosed the fact that Du- mas visited the house of Zimmer yesterday, and asked him and his wifeout todrink. They consented, and the trio repaired to the saloon ef Mr. Maher, on E street, between 17th and 18th, where they all indulged in drink. Pass- ing out of the saloon, they crossed the street, where they stood fora moment, when Zim- mer was seen to plunge a knife twice into the side of Dumas, who clapped bis hands on the ‘wounds and recressed the street. At6 o'clock yesterday afternoon & hearing of the case was had betore Justice Morsell, when & number of witnesses were examined. The folowing embraces the most important testi- mony: George Lucas sworn—Stated that he was in the house of the prisoner at one time along with the deceased, and that he had then a knife. The two got fighting there, but I sepa- Tated them. The day they had the fight the prisoner threatened to use that knife, (which was here shown witness.) The quarrel be- tween the two was on account of a woman by the name of Lilly Gibsen. Jealousy was the cause. He threatened on last Sunday morn- ing he would kill the deceased. I told the de- ceased to keep away from the house: that he would be cut. 1 did not see the fight, but saw Duras when he was earried in the dispen- sary. Jucob Sconten sworn—I saw the prisoner stab the deceased. The two were talking together, When Zimmer drew the knife and stabbed nim, He gave the deceased a jerk, and then stabbed him again. The prisoner and his wife then walked away together. I heard no quarrel- ling between them. I did not think there was anything wrong between them. They were standing together but two or three minutes. ‘The prisoner and his wife came out of Maher's saloon together. The deceased threw his arm over the woman’s shoulder, when the prisoner stabbed him, Nancy Henderson, colored, sworn.—I saw the two sitting on a porch together. A woman came along and said te the prisoner, come home. He started with the woman, when the deceased made a kick at him when the prisoner caught hold of him and stabbed him. 1 saw the blood running down his coat sleeve. 1 did not hear any words between them: but when the prisoner stabbed him, he said to the deceased, ‘Now you've got it—go.”” Other parties were examined, but their evi- dence throws no new light over the mutter. The prisoner, was committed to await the action of the coroner’s inquest to-day. He is rather rough looking, with grey hair and countenance showing cigns of dissipation. He was born in Williamsport, Washington coun- ty, Md., and is 47 years of age. He served in the army four years, and bas never, he stated, been arrested in “a place of any account” be- tore. The deceased was a Frenchman by birth, and about thirty years of age. The wounds by which he came to his death were two—one in the leftand the otberin tne right side. The Tight lung was pierced, and the gashes were very large. The knife was a shoemaker: but with the pout tapered off, and was a murderons-looking weapon. Tbe woman about whom tne tragic affair oc- curred is known by the name of Lilly Jackson, and was not present during the examination. Coroner Woodward held an inquest over the body of the deceased this morning. The testi- mony Was substantially the same as that given before Justice Morsell, as reported above, and the jury returned a verdict that the deceased, Cherles Dumas, private in company F, 41th U.S. Infantry, came to his death by wounds fufiieted, maliciously and murderously, by a wespen in the bands of Joseph W. N. Zim- mer. The pr.soner was subsequently commit- ted to jail by Justice Morell to await his trial before the Criminal Court at the next term. —s——_. RE-UNION OF THE MEMBERS OF FEDERAL City Divistoy, Sons or TeMPERANCE.—A re-union of the members of the above-named Division took piace at Unien League Hall last evening. After the transaction of the regular business of the Division, and a short intermis- sion, interesting exercises were had prepara- tory to the re-union, and, first, M: rettit fa~ vored the Division with a pleasing song. Upon invitation, Mr. F. A. Aiken, of Metropolitan Division, spoke, saying that none in the room could fully appreciate the blessings of the tem- Perance cause but those who had been ad- dicted to the use of the intoxicating bowl. It ‘was the duty of the reformed inebriate to do for the cenfirmed inebriate what others bad done for him. He looked forward to a tims When the temperance cause in this District will be even more prosperous than {it now is: there is room for tmprovement and advauce- ment, and but few barriers were set in the way of the temperance reform, if its workers coutinved steaafast and diligent. Miss Laura Plerson, at the close of Mr. Ai- ken’s remarks, tavored the Division with a Bong. Mr. D. P. Holloway made a few remarks, Saying that it was the humble in the commu- nity that had reclaimed the inebriate. He would rather wear the laurels of Father Matthew than those of Napoleon, now the Em- Pperor of France. There ts no political policy that would elevate the people as would tem- perance. There is no nation that has been so Gegraded by intemperance as Ireland: but had Father Matthew lived and carried on his good work of temperance, Ireland might have been enabled to assert her social and political rights Against usurpation andtyranny. If this coun- try attains the honor, power and glory which he hoped it would, it would be through the Success of the temperance cause. At the close of Mr. Holioway’s remarks, Mr. L. S. Emery sang “ Jamie’s on the Stormy Sea.” Mr. MecFeeters, of Aas eOpoliad Division, ‘was called upon for aspeech and complied, saying that men and women were uot fully awake as to their responsibilities as temper- ance men and women. It was a remarkable fact that though there were more than 6,000 temperance men and women, connected with the different Temperance organizations, there ‘wae &@ comparative small number who sut tained the workings of the several temperanct organizations. The co-operation of every man ‘woman and child was needed in the advance- ment of the temperance cause. Agreat many asked what they could do forthe cai He would answer the question by asking “what canyou not do.” Many identified with the cause have settled down with the conviction that they were sate from the ravages of intem- perance, having taken the pledge and became Jemperance men—this was manifest indiffer- ence, or pure fishness. Men with these conelusions have came imto their midst, and run well for a while, but becoming wearied of attending the Divisions they nave ultimately gave back to their c' Temperance people ind to the community to ‘work without ceasing for the reform ofthe in- ebriate. +N, th to hit man dieth to himself.” 1f temperance m would work faithfolly and present a atr front he would assure m that nise months hence there would not bearam shop in the city. At this juncture ice cream and cake were served, and and all partook freely, the Worthy Patriarch having declare a «short recess.” The programme was concluded by a song of “The Bird of beauty” by Mrs. Annie Lamb- son, after whieh the closing ode was sung and the division tormally closed. ——————— A PLEASANT APPArR.— Last evening, at the regular meeting of Union Lodge, Independent Order of Good Templars, after the transa: tion of the business, the Committee on the Geod of the Order announced that they had in preparation for the Division the play en- titled, «The loan of a love and on motion, the Lodge adjourned its meeting, the doors were thrown open and members of the Sons of Temperance were invited in to witness the play. which was performed in an excellent manner by the amateurs who took the several parts.
