The affair was kept very quiet, and the police knew nothing of it until their attention was attracted by the crowds of the fancy flocking to the point in sail and row boats. The second of John Shea was John Twomey,and Tim Reagan -acted for George Banf.” The ring was formed, and six apt lively rounds were fought, when Shea, it is alleged, struek Banf a foul while he was on his Knees, and as quick as thought a brother of Banf jumped in and struek Shea a power- fui blow in the face, putting a head on him and completely disabling him. This eaused a lively row to follow, both parties going for €ach ether, and no doubt blood would have followed had not Albert Ballinger called out, “Police!” in a startling manner, which caused a and the entire crowd rushed to their boats and svattered in every direction.

FIRE INSURANCE.—Among onr_ home insti- tutions none has had greater success, and more fully deserved it, than the utual Pro- tection Fire Insurance Company, " of the Dis- trict. The Company was organized two years ago, by several of our most prominent busi- mess men, acharter was obtained from Con- gress, and notwithstanding the dull times (or Perhaps because of them, asa great saving in the cost of insurance is afforded by the Com- Re?) has been most successful in gaining he patronage of the public. In addition ta the low rates at which the Company is able to nt insurance, every insurer shares in the profits. Mr. J. E. Fitch, the secretary, is al- ways ready to give any desired information at the Company's office, in the Corcoran Build. ing, corner of 15th street and Pennsylvania avenue.

Yesterday, in the Criminal Court, Judge Wylie, the trial of Edward Ray, alias Major E. H. Curtis, alias Richardson, alias Hough- ten, charged with having, on the 24th of March, i577, committed a rape on the person of Ella ‘jydings, an orphan girl of Baltimore, in a | room at the National Hotel in this city. was continued after our report closed—Messi Cook and Corkhill for defence, District \orney Wells for the government. George H. Karsner (clerk Baltimore Sun) Was the first witness, and he testified that his | ¢' impression was that the prisoner was the party who inserted an adveriisement in the Sun’ March 2st, 1877, for an orphan girl, directing addresses to “Country Merchant Edwin Guy, room clerk at Baraum’s, in Bali more, identified Curiis as the man who r tered there on the lyth of March, and remained several days. Robert Brashears (newsdealer) testified to seeing the prisoner: at Barnum’s. Paul E. Dorsey testified to seeing Curiis in Baltimore March 1877, and to having known him in New York under the name of Richard- son, and L. A. Chase, of New York, to having employed the prisoner in New York, in. 1875, under the name of Richardson. Mrs. Sarah Johnson, sister of Ella Tydings, recognized Curtis a3 the man who employed her sister Elia to go to Alexandria, Va., a8 a nurse: wit- ness heaid him agree that Elia should be paid #3 per month, and be allowed to return home after two weeks’ trial if she did not like the place: knew that she left next day for Alexan- dria, and that on the day following she came back much injured. . She was cross-examined, and an unavailing effort made to prove by her that Kila’s charac- ter was not good. Mr. Cook said if he could show that she has lived in disreputable localities, he would be showing elements going to make up the reputa- tion of a street-walker. Judge Wylie ruled that separate facts could not be proved; general reputation only can Le put in evidence. If specific facts could be introduced against a_ witness, any prejudiced scoundrel might suddenly and without notice be put on the stand to Swear away the char- acter of a witness ina manner that admitted uo possibility of disproof. He recollected the Wiley-Lrown case tried here some time since. In that case there was not merely one per- jured witness, but there were fifty. The court house was filled with perjurers. The court must hold that witnesses could be held only to meet charges against their general reputa- tion. The counsel for the defence having ex- pressed a desire to argue the matter to the court, Judge Wylie said he would allow them to do so to-day. The Court referred to the outrag: .us man- ner in Which outside effort e made to inilu- ence the case, Persons had even approached him in order to talk about There were mis- creants in this. city who, for a few dollars, would make it their business to try and cor- rupt jurors. He added: “If any one ap- proaches you on the subject give me informa. tion, and ll put him by the heels in the jail and Keep him there.” ; Mr. Wells asked the court to warn the jurors in reference to newspapers. Judge Wylie said newspapers were not so bad, for all they did was done openly; and he Was how speaking of the hidden, undermining | efforts of men Who sought to corrupt juror: The best Way was not to touch the unclean thing. The court adjourned. . SECOND DAY. There was another large crowd in the court room this morning, and it was remarked that when notice was given that the jurors cry Witnesses not engaged in the ease on trial were discharged il to-morrow, not one of them left. Prior to the court being convencd the accused had an interview with dy in the marshal’s office, and also one with Col. Corkhill, in one of the upper rooms of the court house, Mr. Cook proceeded to argue the point made esterday as to assailing the character of Mis Yyaings, by proving s lie acts, to which ob- fection was made by the government. Mr. ells followed, and Judge Wyii id that Ella Tydings, in this case, was no more than any other witness, and the rule of law as to the impeachment of a witness was that it must be done by proving the general reputation. and not by specific acts. The defence excepted to the ruling of the court. Mrs. Johnson resumed the stand. and was further questioned, but the court ruled most of the questions out, as falling within his ti I ye 'S, Wh ain relateu the story of the outrage at the National! Hotel, substan- lially as heretofore told by h nd related in THE STaR. On cross-exainination the defence { questions as to spe cts affecting her char as to chastity, which were ruled out. Tue Boarp or HEALTH inet last Tuesday aud the report of the health officer was sub- mitted, showing that during the week ending il uth nuisances were reported and 470, es of death were investigated, and there were 7 investigations for local caus’ 3 for disease. Dr. Verdi, from the sanitary com- mittee, reported favorably on a sewer valve and NenUlating chimney, and recommended its adoption. Hethought the plan would even- tually free all the sewers from gases. D. aud Bliss were opposed to its adoption Dr. Verdi's report, after some discussion, laid on the table. A memorial complaining of the odors and gases arising from the gas works Was received from the District Commissione.s, with an endorsement stating that the measures adopted by the board some two months since had been unsuecessful in abating the nuisance. The board decided to visit the works to-mor- row afternoon and make an inspection. The health officer was directed to demolish the frame strueture corner of 10th and R streets. The report of the registrar of vital statistics for the month of March was submitted. The mortality in the District during that month a ing 21 less than the corresponding last year. The annual death rate per 25.815—white, W641; colored, 38.34. was 25.’ Births (reported) during the month, 32 white, 191; colored, 139. Annual rate of de- crease of population by deaths over births (reported) was 1.8C0 per 1,000—white, .824; col- ored, 4.267—15.65 per cent. of the deaths we.e from zymotic diseases, 28.11 per cent. from constitutional diseases, 44.93 per cent. from local diseases, 9.% per cent. from develop- aul diseases, and 1.45 per cent. from acci- ents. ———__ DEEDS IN FEE have been filed as follows: L.
