Mr. Knapp has just arrived in Washington to deliver his ‘series of lectures on the Spr of Art. Last evening's lecture was an illustration of how needed instruction and entertainment may be combined. Knapp has the faculty of making the found principles which underlie art intelligible and interesting to the simplest minds.

THE MissING BALTIMORE MERCHANT.— The Baltimore merchant, Mr. James Allen, who anysteriously disappeared a week or two ‘since, and has turned up in New Orleans, is well known here, having about two and a half years since married a lady well known in this city— Mrs. Edna Burgess. There were immediately after the disappearance some statements made as to domestic troubles, but it is learned that there is no reason for any such statements. The fact that an examination into his accounts shows that they are all straight removes any suspicion that finances had anything to do with his going away, The explanation of his course, accepted a8 most plausible by his friends here, ds, that in consequence of disease his mind hi me somewhat impaired temporarily, and that he wandered off in that condition without ay aim or object. ————————— DrvorcE DECKEED.—Y esterday, in the Equity Court, Judge James made a decree of divorce in the case of Leila America Rose agt, David G.

HIRTH. ‘Trial of Bedford, Queenan and Pian ‘The trial of the three colored men—Joseph Neverson, allas Joseph or “Babe” Bedford, Ed- ward Queenan and Sandy Pinn—indicted for the murder of George Philip Hirth ou P street on the evening of January 7th last, was resumed to- day, in the Criminal Court, Judge Hagner— District. Attorney Pein = Assistant i trict Attorney for the government: Messrs. T. F. Miller, C. Maurice Smith and John F. Riley for Pinn; i. H. Wells, jr., Re Coyle and J. A. Hayward for the other prisoners. ‘The government called the boy, Wm. Danger- field, but he failed to answer, and an attach- ment was asked for. Wm. R. Speare, undertaker, was sworn, and defendant noted an exception. Witness first saw the body of young Hirth on the morning. of January 8th, between 7 and § o'clock. The body Was then fully clothed, with an overcoat on, and the collar was torn off; saw no watch orring. Witness prepared the body for burial and found a bruise on the right hand, afier the blood had been washed off. 1t was between the thumb and forefinger, and was about 2 inches long, and it was very Diack, resembling that on : = be ear. Witness described tive wounds on e head. Cross-examined.—The blood was on the shirt front and on the overcoat; did not notfce that the coats were torn; recollects distinctly that the overcoat was bloody. ‘The defence then presented a bill of excep- tions as to the admissability of Mr. Speare’s evidence, but the Court declined to sign it, intl- mating that the facts were not fully set out. Dr. Wm. Pittis testified that on the aight of the murder he was called to the drug store and saw the body of George Philip Hirth, whom he had known for two years. Hirth was then dead; did not see a aad or watch. Saw him next day when he in the post mortem examina- ton. Witness then described the wounds—an ncised one behind the right ear, another two inches back and one inch lower, another imme- diately onthe back of the head, one over the left eye and one in front and around the left ear three inches in length. After the completion of the post mortem he noticed a bruise on the right side, just above the hip, about as large as and in the shape of his hand; did not observe much swelling. This might have been produced by a blow, kick or fall. Cross-examined by Mr. Coyle:—Was certain this bruise was on the right side; coagulated blood covered the brain; blood was on Hirth’s shirt, and his hands were covered with blood and dirt. Mr. Wells presented a bill of exceptions as to this witness--notice of this witness not having been given untii after the commencnment of the Tial. The court asked the necessity of signing this exception, unless those noted previously were acted op. What becomes of those? Mr. Wells.—There fs no bill of exceptions, un- Jess it is written and presented to the court. The Court.—It will require fully an bour to prepare a bil embracing all the points, and he would not stop the proceedings for this purpose. ‘The counsel could certainly remember the point, and if they could not and would pass up the paper he would take care of it. He remarked that it was somewhat singular that the very question involved had been passed upon in general term in the case or Werrick, in 1si7. He Was glad now he had not yielded. Sarah Lee, a mulatto woman of middle age, testified that on the night of the murder, on her way home, she stopped at a house on P street, ar 17th, to get some money due her, but failed to make the people hear her. Then passing down towards the alley (about half way) she heard some one saying ‘Oh! On!” and went down and saw some men and heard more groan- ing. Then getting frightened she went across the lot towards the Minor building and met a man running who said to her, “G— d— you, where are you shabbing to.” [This phrase was understood by some to mean shoving or going and ky others shadowing.] Witness here ex- plained her evidence by means of the plat, pointing out the spot where she met the man (about the same place. pointed out by Johnson). Cross-examined by Mr. Miller.—The man was running at the time; didn’t think she was sing- ing at the time, but when the man rubbed up against her and made the exclamation she thinks she said, “The Lord be with me.” Only about three minutes elapsed after she heard the groaning when she saw thisman running. Wit- ness got bewildered and did not see any one until she met a “big fat policeman” and asked him to show her the way to T street. Heard no cries of “Police!” Re-direea—She cotld not have seen anybody run unless he was near. ‘The boy, Wm. Dangerticla, was next called, and the defence objected and took an exception. Witness was 13 years old; recollects the night of the murder; was going home and saw these men—Bedford, Pinn and Queenan—at the cor- ner of 12thand T 5 known Bedford some time; (witness pointed him out;) also knew Queenan, (pointed him out;) also, Pinn; it must have been about 6% o'clock when he saw them, Judging from the time the clock struck. Cross-examined by Mr. Smith for Pinn.—Lived on 12th street, between T and U—1932—went to School last in September; it was Wednesday night the murder was committed; heard of it the next morning from his mother: first told what he had seen to George Hayden, on Q street, between 10th and ith, (in Hell's Bot- tom;) it was about four days after the murder; did not notice uow the men were dressed, nor whether the gas was lighted; it was a dark night; Johnson was not there then; sometimes itness was called “Tubby.” Mr. Smith.—Now, ‘“Tubby”—- (Witness made a face.) Mr. Miller.—Now make that face you made at the prisoners be‘ore the jury. Witness.—I was making no faces at them. Mr. Miller.—Who was it at? ‘Witness (laughing).—To that yor tle- man (pointing: to Air, Smith) for eal je “Tubby.” (Laughter.) Witness continu he was inthe habit of attending the Theater Comique; was not there on this night; was cer- tain he saw these parties there; did not see Jobnson there; just = the corner on a “2—4 gait.” Did not see Ri Ross that night; had had no conversation with Johnson about the case. Heard of the arrest before he made a statement about seeing these parties. First saw Pinn at a store on 14th street, near P, as he (witness) was on the way to school. Mr. Smith:—Who have you talked with since ? The Court.—Do you mean to follow it up to prove collusion? Mr. Miller.—When the boy Thomas Johnson Was sworn and did not testify as the govera- ment wished, they were permitted to whom he had been with. The Court ruled the questions out. Witness told his mother the next morning when she spoke of the murder, that he saw the parties on the corner of 12th and T streets. By Mr. Hayward.—Witness went to 12th and U streets for water. By Mr. Smith.—It was the northeast corner of 12th and T streets where he saw these men. Re-direct.—There is an oyster shop at the corner. THE TESTIMONY FOR THE PROSECUTION ALL IN. ‘This closed the case for the government. Mr. Coyle said he was surprised at the close by the government, especially as they had promised to prove that the deceased was robbod of his watch and ring. They not having done So, the responsibility would be thrown on the defence to prove the robbing. Mr. Perry said he knew what effect the gen- Uleman was trying to produce, but the govern- ment were content that they had presented their case, MR. RILEY OPENED FOR THE DEFENCE, Saying that In opening a case toa jury it was customary for denunciations to be used towards the persons, but this case was an exception, for the government did itself credit by its manly opening, in which they said that ail vindictive reeling should be left outside the door. It was true that the murder of George ioe 4 Hirth was & most diabolical one, and he then described it, Saying that the pol'ce framed their theories; but policemen were ordinary men, whose deeds are made known when they ‘are suc- cesstul, and when they fai! nothing 1s heard. He represented Pinn, who was arrested the fol. lowing day—not as’ he was fleeing, and in his case they would prove a full and complete alibi. Referring to Johnson, he said of old it was said “al that a man hath will he give for his soul,” and it was no less true now. He had no doubt but that Johnson did meet these ™>~ corner of 12th and ' et=-"* i au tne aN _ — ~wcwus, and that they com- —a.weeu une Murder, and after participating tn the crime he went home and quietly went to his bed. Johnson, he expected to prove, having rezelved a promise, had testified against these parties. ‘They would prove that Brown’s career during the war was asa bounty tse that he had since been the pimp oi the police in liquor cases. He referred to the case of Mrs. Hull, in New York, for whose murder the husband was arrested, but sald that God, who suffers not a Sparrow to fall unnoticed. not permitted the innocent to suffer, and to-day Chastine Cox stands convicted. ” The Court here tcok a recess. MR. COYLE'S OPENING. On the court reassem! at 13g o’clock, Mr. Coyle, for the prisoners Bedford ‘and Queenan, commenced his eee address, 8] first of the manly way in which the prosecution had med the case. He would heartily “‘amen” the remarks of Mr, Riley in relation thereto. ‘They had had before them for the past 10 days a picture, but now they were to present another picture. He referred exercised in at of der not one of the three prisoners was ens 301, 102, 103 and 104, sub. of Mt. Pleasant: s—. BR a M, 9th and 10th sts. As to the threats by Quee- nan to Hirth they would show that the occasion Yeferred to was one year previous to the date ven by the witnesses, and that so far from reats being made Hirth protestea inst Queenan’s arrest and sent a lawyer to defend him. As to Bedford's whereabouts, they would show that at74s o'clock he was in the shoe shop on Samson street, between 14th and 15th; that he was employed at Buckingham’s store on 14th, near R street, and he went there about ix o'clock and remained about half aa hour. This store is also known as Lighter’s store, betng attended by Mr. L. They would show that he went from there to Mrs. Hall’s house, T Street, near 18th, and remained until 9 o'clock, when he went home with two young ladies— Pinn then being at the house—and on 19th street they meta man and woman (Matilda Mullen) who told them of the murder, saying: “Mr. Hirth, who ea murdered.” They would show that they went to thedrug store, and Bedford forced his way through the crowd, and leaning over asked: “Is he dead?” and receiving an affimative answer he said: ‘Why, I used to work for him.” After taking the giris home he went to Mrs. Hall’s and told Pinn of it,and then Pinn suggested that they go to Mr. Sibley’s and tell him, and they did so, and then, after: with him to the drug store, they went to their homes on Samson street, between 14th and 15th. In short, they would show that the statements made to Mr. McDe- vit by them were true. While an alibi was re- garded a most dangerous defence, yet feeling at they could prove this beyond a doubt they would present it. As to Benjamin Johnson, they proposed to disprove his statements; that cel property was taken from the murdered man; that within 12 or 15 hours after Johnson wasin her place and showed her the watch and ring. Amusements, &c. : Forp’s OPERA HoUSE.—Mr. Macauley eee his audience at the Opera House last evening in excellent spirits by his quaintness. He was well a “Clip” of the company, and “Smith, the Miser,” Iie well acted, and the other parts fairly given. “Uncle Dan'l,” the central figure, is one of the most realistic and interesting figures in plays of the class to which “A Messenger from Jarvis Section” belongs. NATIONAL THEATER.—Last night at the Na- tional the large audience gave Miss Cavendish a most hearty reception, and she scored a com- Plete success as ‘‘Mercy Merrick.” The play is well known to be full of interest, and_ some of its situations are intensely dramatic. Miss Cav- endish is always equal to the emergency, and did some powerful acting. Mr. Piercy and Miss Sedgwick, of the cast, also deserve great praise. To-night “Mercy Merrick” will be repeated. THEATER COMIQUE.—The great Sensational play of *Toby,” at the Comique, is one of the great amusement attractions of tne week, e Comique also gives a variety performance that is complete in every respect.

TALLMADGE Hat.—One of the most delightful audiences ever assembled in Lincoin Hall was there last evening. Prot.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.—Mr. John Fiske delivers another of his masterly and instructive lectures at Congregational Church to-night. His subject to-night will be “The Thirteen Colonies and their effect upon the Mother Country.” LINCOLN HaLt.—The lecture of Benjamin Robin Curtis, at Lincoln Halt evening, will be a treat.

GOOD NEWS. Latest Intelligence from Various Quar- ters, and of Great Importance to the Public. The “Bright-Star-of Hope” Clear in the Sky and Shining Upon All. Cankered Fitality Vanquished and Its Destructive, Power Com- pletely Broken. HOW IT WAS ACCOMPLISHED. ‘The most eminent medical authorities have pro- nounced Bright's Disease of the Kidneys incurable- As a consequence, thousands in this andother lands have succumbed to the insidious power of the com- plaint and resigned themselves to an untimely and unnecessary grave. But the age which could make such strides in science has also revealed the restoring power for this fatal disease. Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure js as certain in its healing powers as mathematical problem. It is guaranteed to cure 99 per cent of ail Kidney Diseases and 95 per cent of all Liver Diseases, and that it will do this is beyond question. Read the following extract from a letter from Bickett & Grifin, Druggists, Monroe, N. C.: Monndz, Dec. 27, 1879. We havo no Resitation in saying that your Safe Kidney and Liver Cure is the most efficient com- bination for obstinate Kidney Diseases we have ever Frown and We lave no meaure expetience, our r. Biskett being a practiciny an for nearly twenty years. BICKETT & GRIFFIN Residents of Washington and vicinity will re- member the remarkable cure of Col. Averill, which occurred within two years, but it may not be gener- ally known, that it was’accomplished by ineans of Warner's Safe Kidney Cure, then in its infaney. It was, however, the same means which resened Col. Averill from a certain and most painful death, and which is curing thousands throughout the land that is presented’ to the public, and which can be pro- cured of any drugwist. Such testimony is over- powering, and is, indeed, confirmatory of the best news which can come to humanity. febli-s,w2t CITY ITEMS. Enaar’s Whooping Cough Specific ts the best.
