Williams and F. H. Falls for the accused. Jobn Finn testified that tt was after six ovclock when he met the defendant; that when the party reached Q street Clarkson asked the witness if he would not go back, and he turned around and went with him toward Samson Street. He saw abead of them Johnson, Pierce, Hackman and Harris. When the witness got nearer he saw Johnson walk up to two colored men standing near the edge of the curb with thetr backs to the street. He asked one of the colored men who he was looking at. The man replied that he was looking at him (Johnson.) The defendant kicked the man, and as he went istol. The deceased threw up his hands before is face, and sald “Don’t you shoot me.” The cefendant shot. and the man fell. The witness then went up 14th street home. ‘The cross examination of this witness was not concluded a: the time of the adjournment of the court. TO Day. : This morning the trial was resumed, and there were but few persous admitted fo the court room. There were, however, many appli- cants for admission, who were refused. The witness, John Finn, resumed the stand, and was further cross-examined by Mr. W. Cook, and stated that after Johnson kicked the colored man the deceased threw un his hands and Gefendant pulled out the pistol; saw several persons running. William Coleman, colored, testified that he knew the deceased: saw him between S and 9 o’clock the evening he was shot. Witness was pltting in coal with Wm. Robinson and Ellis at the house where Dr. Bigelow has his oftice,when deceased came down from the direction of Sam- Son street and stopped ie opposite the store at the northwest corner of P street, where Jas, ‘Waters was standing. They stood near the Curb, looking towards the store, and were talk- ing. They stood there about haif an hour,when defendant came down 14th street, with four or five others, some of whom he had seen before; did not notice who was in front. Defendant brushed up against deceased, walking out of the crowd, and said to deceased: "What tn the h—1 is the matter with you?” Deceased satd: ““Noth- ing is the matter with me, what is the matter with you. Defendant sald: “I'll Knock your d—4d head off,” and deceased sald: “You won’t co. onde of the kind.” Defendant kicked at deceased, but don't know whether he kicked him or not. They were both standing near the curb. Deceased jumped out of the way when Jobn Johnson (defendant) kicked.

They then ran away, John Jobn- son going up iithstreet, John Johnson dia the shooting; saw the pistol, but could not say how large it was. Ellis and Robinson were standing near the curb at the time. Deceased’s hands were by his side when John Johnson first spoke to him, and he threw his hands back when he was Kicked at. Next saw him laying on the pavement after he was shot. Mr. Cook cross-examined witness at some length. He testified that he made a statement in the District attorney’s and swore to 1t, but did @t sign it. Did not sign a paper produced by Mr. Cook; wrote his uame on a_plece of paper, which, at the instance of Vol. “ook, was fied.

A recess was then taken. EaNae Lively Times in a Pullman Car, AIK PULLING BY FEMALE OPERA SINGERS, Madame Gerster and four of the members of the Mapieson Itallan Opera Company who were at Ford’s Opera House, Monday nigat, lett here yesterday morning in a drawing-room car altacued to the 10:30 train on the Battimore ana Potomac railroad for Pittsburg. Some per- SOLS who saw them pass through the gate at the depot here thought they saw “the devil in the eye” of one of them, It appears from sub sequent developments that there was some un- pivasantuess bekween two ot the female sing- ers. After Gerster had disposed of herself and her dog comfortably tn the car, and the train had attained a speed of forty miles per hour, One Of the singers referred to was seen to ap- proach the other with a menacing air, and in a aluute or two the costly nonnets on Worn heads were in a dilapidated Condition aiid tie ora% mental pieces which are now used to set off the hair on the female head were scattered around promiscuously.

The payers of water rents sometimes feel agrieved that the collector of taxes demands more than what they think due. and that he Will make no alterations to bills, adding pen- alties, &c. Such persons should take their bills to the water registrar for alteration or correc- ton, he being the only officer authorized, hav. ing the books in his office. Payments are now being made for the new water rent year, and after this month delinquents will be lable to have their water cut off. The Telephone Extortion Again. Eduor Star; A paradox of impossible con- sapguinity propounded by a small boy was cleared up after much consideration by the simple solution that “the little boy prevari- cated.” So as regards the published statements of the telephone company. There is matchless effrontery in the statement that $:6 a year was @ paying rate for tcoynundred subscribers, bat failed to meet the increased expense for secen hundrea. The telephone subscribers have now organized a “ unton,” aud will of course pro‘ect themselves, and it is scarce worth while to {i trude our wrongs upon the pubiic any further; but when the officers of the ee compar y ccolly Claim and protest that they are making no money, and have made no money, the re- semblance to the ** litUe boy” with the paradcx becomes very strong indecd. Let me state in brief: The Washington Telephone Exchange is to-day in receipt of @ gross rental of abot thirty-five thousand dollars. Out of this they have to provide pay for those charming your g ladies who tell us three times out ofevery four in such sweet voices, ‘that line is busy now ” Also, to keep up a business office with a com- petent clerical force, and to pay thelr royaity to the Bell Telephone Company. I do no: count among the current expenses their whole force of laborers and linemen, because such x penses are properly chargeable to “construction count.” I have taken some pains to estimit these expenses, and I cannot find any reason to we them much over $15,000. This would leave a net profit of $20,000 per year. When the company state In their defence that the rates roposed to be charged here are /ess than those in use in other cities, the resemblance to the “little boy” becomes absolutely startling. Even im such small towns as Norfolk, Lynchbure, and Richmond, rothing like such charges hev2 ever been exacted, though their expenses are much heavier in proportion to their receip's. In dropping this subject finally, let me warn ail subscribers to the exchange not to flag one mo- ment until their organization ts complete, and every name pledged and signed. The company are preparing an ingenious method of consum- mating their proposed extortion, and are paving the way by the statements above referred to. but the subscribers have only to stand firin and act In concert, and the monoply will recede, as it did in St. Louis. SUBSCRIBER. And Old Man Who Went Wrong. THE DECISION IN THE NAILOR-CONLEY CASE. It was stated in yesterday's Stak that Judge Cox, in the Equity Court, had decided the Nallor-Conley case. Catherine Conley, with whom the la‘e Allison Natlor lived during the $15,000 worth of real estate, which he had con- | Yeyed to her by deed of gift at various times from 1572 to 1sis. The Nallor heirs sued to have the deeds set aside, contending that the condition of Mr. Natlor was such that he could hot make adeed. This view the court yester- day sustained, and made a decree setting aside the deed to Catherine Conley. This, Judge Cox Said, was a case in which an old man who had during a long life been a careful, prudent man. and accumulated considerable property, had cnsneet in his latter days lis whole course of life; had left bis wife, who, he sald, was one of the noblest women, and had gone to live with another woman, to whom he deeded a large estate. The only case where law would justify @ conveyance in consideration of fliegitimate relations was where, after seduction, the man and woman lived together as man and wife. No such case was here, for it was in proof that, A procuress selected this woman for Nallor, and by consent brought them together. From this time forth Nallor became perfectly reckless, and allowed his Fieperey, to be squande! paid none of the alimony which the court o dered to be paid his wife, and left his business unattended to. The whole proceedings showed Uhat Nailor In bis old age had fallen under the undue influence ot this woman, Catherine Con- ley, Insuch a way that no deed trom hin to her could be sustained. He therefore ordered ihe Ca to be set aside, An appeal will be entered. Inaugural Preparationss MEETING OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
