The Distriet Attorney briefly opened the case reciting the facts the government expected to prove. ‘Mr. Walker followed for the prisoner, and said that it would be shown that, notwithstand- ing the deceased was recreant’in her duties and had left him, that he loved her; that the rupture was produced by the sister-in-law, and that on the night in question Lee went to the house in good humor and was turned away by the sister-in-law, and returned in thirty min- utes a mad man—the very circumstances of the killing showing that he was a maniac at the time. They would also show that he was, before going to the house, meditating the tak- ing of his own life, THE SISTER OF THE MURDERED WIFE TESTI- FIRS. Lucy Williams (sister of the deceased) was the ‘first witness, and she testified that she lived at No. 400 K street; that Lee came to the hduse, and she found him there when she came from a neighbors, about 8 o'clock. He was sitting with the baby in his lap, talking to the deceased. He said that she (deceased) had told him that she was going to fray. H@ said it you don't pray you will be sorry for it. Then some words passed, and she told him that he must treat her with respect. He then said to his wife: ‘ou are here to-night, bat the Lord knows where you will be to-morrow,” and left. He came back in half an hour and knocked on the door, and Witness looked out and ordered him aw He broke iti, and the deceased and Susan, her sis- ter, ran upstairs.

Foltz was called to the chair and D. W. Whiting chosen secretary. It Wasannounced that the object of the meeting was to take united action with a view to obtain & change in the commutation! fare on the Alex- andria and Washington railroad. The matter Was discussed by Messrs. Hunter, Deputron, Whiting and others, and by Mr, Young, one of the local agents of the Alexandria and Wash- ington Railroad company. It was agreed that the late reduction im rates, owing to jts condi- tions, had operated, in fact, as an Increase of fare upon @ la number of wage-earners who travel daily between Alexandria and Washing- ton. Mr. Young was contident that there had been no intention to inereuse the fare, und said. that it was both the desire and the interest ot the managers of the railroad to be on good terms with the people of Alexandria. ~ He thought that any alteration In tekets that would return to the wage-earners the same Tates they paid before the fare was reduced would be granted by tte railroad company on proper representaffon. Resolutions were tuen adopted asking elther that the sixty-trip tickets may be made unilmited or that the late twenty- five-trip tckets may be again issued. Messi, Gregory, Deputron, Nash, Zimmerman and Lyneh Were appointed a commitice to, lay ‘the matter before the managers of the road a8 soon as possible and report at an early day. ‘ew ROADWAY.—The work oi laying a plank walk on King street, irom the corporation line toHoof’«Run,has bee id morrow, THE PRINTERS’ ELECTION DAY. The Polls Open on D Street—Nearly a Thousand Voters to be Heard From. To-day was election day for the members of Columbia Typographical Union, The polls were opened at one o'clock at The Craftsman office, on D street, and will remain open until eight o'clock this evening. At one o'clock many com positors from the government printing office and a number from the ‘down town” offices were ready to vote. The ballot boxes were Placed inside of The Craftsman office near a window, which was open. The judges and clerks sat near the window. The voter as he came up passed by the window, gave his name and handed id his ballot. A clerk Inside, who had a printed list of members, checked off the names of the voters so as to prevent “repeating,” if any printer happened to dorget that he had already voted. ‘The scene about the polls looked very much like that about the polls in old times on election day, except that squads of voters were better dressed, and better appearing In every way than is generally found hanging about a polling booth. Among the first to vote were fourteen female compositors from the government ole, They were brought to the polls in four cabs and every courtesy was shown to them, They weresallowed to go inside the office and deposit their votes, and thus avoided the staring and quizzing ot ‘the loungers who transferred themselves to-da¥ from the Police Court porticoto the curb in front of the Crasts- man’s oifice to Watch the operations of the printers. There were 958 members of the union in good standing this morning, aud all of these, it was expected, would vote before the polls closed. ‘The printed tickets contained the names ofall the candidates, and each voter scratched off those he did not care to vote tor. The names of the candidates are as follows: President, William Floyd, A. P. Marston, Wm, HR.
