Latest Teboarans to The St YOUNG MISS HIBBARD’S STORY. She Caught Fry Holding Her Mamma’s Hand—Mamma Wore False Bangs. Prrrszvre, Nov. 20.—The attendance at the second day's proceedings of the Hibbard-Fry breach-of-promise case at Beaver, Pa,. was er than yesterday. Ladies were in the ma- jority in the front benches, and seats were at a remium. The first witness was Kate ‘ibbard, the seventeen-year-old daugh- ter of the i — She was dressed in a short black dress, a neat black jacket, anda broad-brimmed, blue-lined Gains- rough hat. She has a broad, heavy face, with small, keen. dark eyes. She was examined by Mr. Cunningham, for the prosecution, and wae cross-examined by Mr. Harrah. Mrs. Hib- bard watched her daughter with a Roman ma- tron cast of countenance, while Mr. Frye watched her with a mixture of curiosity and surprise. ‘MR. FRY AND MAMMA PLAYED CHECKERS, She testified as to the distance from her | place of residence to that of Mr. Fry, the de- | Soak She said that he was accustomed to | pass her home every day. He called upon her mamma early in the fall of 1886, called, went up stairs, and remained {until "after 10 o'clock. He came to | the front store-door and her mamma met him there and took him upstairs, where they played checkers. He came off and on for it a year andahalf. If he was at home he came once a week. Sometimes mamma would be looking for him and then would meet him at the door. He came at such times about 7:30 p. m. and left about 11 o’clock. SAW FRY HOLDING HER MAMMA'S HAND, One evening she was passing th the back parlor and_observed him ou her mamma's hand. When he saw her he dropped it. Mamma looked at her and smiled. Upon cross-examination she said her mother did not wear a wig when Mr. Fry called, but wore false bangs. Reference by the witness to a sweet look led to a demand Mr. Har- rah, counsel for defence, for a demonstration of such a look. ‘THOUGHT FRY COULD GIVE A SWEET LOOK. Miss Kate said she could not illustrate such a look, but said doubtless Mr. Fry could. Mr. Crosby, chief clerk of the Hotel Ander- son, in Pittsburg, was next called. He said that he did not know the whereabouts of the first part of the register book for November although he had searched for it. Several par- ties had called to see it, including Mr. Dough- erty and the plaintiff. A book was here produced, which witness supposed tobe an exact copy of the lost one. George L. Reed, a newspaper reporter, testified that he called at the Hotel Anderson the day following the en- tering of the suit, and saw the signature of Wm. H. Fry and wife. He was not familiar with Mr. Fry's writing, however. The latter part of the testimony was ruled out. A large number of other witnesses were examined tom the morning, but their testi- mony was unimportant. eae ne POWDERLY’S INFLUENCE. More Evidence that itis Greater than Ever in the General Assembly. Isp1anaPouis, Nov. 20.—That Powderly’s is the ruling mind in this general assembly has | Shy been evident for some time, and it was more than ever apparent at the morn- ing session to-day. As was stated in these dispatches yesterday Powderly had signified his willingness to continue in office under certain conditions. The report of the committee on law was submitted and was exactly in accordance with the conditions ex- Pressed by Powderly. ‘The “one-man power” advocated by him in his annual address is having effect.

High Prices Generaily Ruled for Things Sold at the British Legation. The sale of those effects for which Lord Sack- ville has no further use was continued to-day, commencing at 10:30 a. m. The crowd was much smaller than on yesterday, but there was no perceptible abatement in the desire to pur- chase anything and everything that was of- fered by the bland, seductive auctioneer. Silver and plated ware came under the hammer first, and prices kept up re- markably well in the majority of instances, A brass hot-water kettle caused lively compe- tition, and was captured at a figure that exceeded its value many dollars. Lot 281 was urchased by Mr. Roessle, of the Arlington, for Eib0. It was a silver-plated service for fifty people, and included even such minute as asparagus tongs and grape scissors, AT THE STABLES, At 12 o'clock the sale of articles in the house was suspended so that the contents of the stable might be disposed of. Such a crowd had never before invaded the ordinarily quiet precincts devoted to horseflesh, carriages and grooms, ‘The only equine occupants of the stables were the dark brown animals which were tobe sold, and they forgot their feed in the amazement created by the constant ing around of so many strange people. The first lot ut up was a brougham, and after a rief competition it was sold to Mr. Langhorne for $225. The team of dark brown horses, said to have cost $800 a short time ago, were then offered, and after one individual had endeay- ored to buy the best one of the pair for $190 and failed. the team was sold to B. F. Shaw for $370. The double harness they wore, covered at every available place WITH THE SACKVILLE CREST, was bought by Wash. Nailor for $82.50. W. F. Downey was evidently in a carriage-buying hu- mor, for he purchased the landau for 300, the victoria for #195, and the [toate for $55. The buggy, combination of black top and red wheels, and so thoroughly American that its polished surface was unvexed by crest or mon- was secured by Chargé d’Affaires ferbert. of the legation, who bid #140. A sleigh, which was dear at $15, was captured for $22 by some one who evi-| Boht dently wanted it badly. Sleigh robes, revers- fhe robes aad | blankets went a off at enormously ig! 6 ets, in many instances, fetching twice or three times their real value. This was probably due to the fact that each horse cover was ornamented with the Sackville monogram, umbrella worth not more than 25 cents, was sold easily for five times that amount, and saddles and bridles were snapped up by the crowd at a liberal ad- vance upon extravagant retailrates.

The Mcssage of the President and Re- | She Reluctantly Tells Her Story in the} The Inauguration Committee port of Secretary Fairchild. BOTH DOCUMENTS WILL BE FRAMED TO SUSTAIN THE POSITION OF THE PRESIDENT AS SET FORTH IX HIS TARIFF REFORM MESSAGE—THE SURPLUS AND TRE SENATE TARIFF BILL. Secretary Fairchild is hard at work on his last annual refort. That he may not be dis- turbed by the consideration of other matters he is doing the work at his house. The Presi- dent is largely dependent upon the figures in this report in the treatment of the revenue question in his message, and cannot get right down to work on his message—or at least that part of it—until Mr. Fairchild's work is about done. The Secretary's report will show that the same surplus question still confronts the department. The figures will be brought together, as before, to show the necessity of congressional action to lessen the inflow of the revenue and the danger of further delay will be pointed out. ‘THE PRESIDENT NOT DISPOSED TO RETREAT. It is quite likely that Mr. Cleveland’s mes- sage will possess some of the elements of clever retort that appeared in his last fisheries mes- sage. It is generally understood that he will fomgetin dbus ae as in essage beaming of Congress, and will make it the feature of the document. He will not yield one jot from his ion be- fore the cam; » but he will bly make more emphatic hii declaration that it is a “‘con- dition, not a theory, that confronts us.” He will insist upon the y advocated by the democratic party that reduction that must be made should come off the tax on raw mate- rial and necessaries of life; but above all he will place the importance of ii @ reduc- tion somehow. It is likely that he will try to make it clear to ves fons that the necessity of checking the accumulation of surplusis so great that if the democratic plan cannot carry through Congress they should YIELD UNDER PROTEST TO THE REPUBLICAN AMENDMENT rather than have no reduction of the revenue stall. There will be no weakening from the former position and no confession that the ular verdict has condemned tariff reform. 't 1s not improbable that the democratic policy this winter will be to make sure of some sort of a reduction, and if the republican plan is to revail to fix upon them the responsibility for it ry repeatedly pointing out that they not consider it the wisest method. : Such a course would deprive the republicans of one excuse for letting the question go over until they have both branches of Congress, and would make it more difficult for them to change to a new plan or to fulfil any promises they may have made to manufacturers during e campaign. Mr. Cleveland has gaid that he would sign | any bill that should come to him making a re- duction in the revenue, whether as to tariff duties or internal taxes, unless there were something about it absolutely vicious. If the Senate bill should pass as it now is, it is almost certain that he would sign it—probably with some remarks in explanation of his motives, THE BAPTIST CHURCHES. Opening of the Proceedings of the An- nual Session of the Columbia Assso- ciation. REPORTS FROM THE CHURCHES— OFFICERS ELECTED—A LIST OF THE DELEGATES PRESENT, ETC, The annual session of the Columbia associa- tion of the Baptist churches of this District convened this morning at the Calvary Baptist church, The association embraces eleven churches, eight of which are located in the city, one at Tenleytown, one at Anacostia and one at Queenstown. It has been in existence eleven years and much good has been done in advancing the interests of the denomination in this locality. Atllo’clock the moderator, Prof. Otis T. Mason, called the association to order. Devo- tional exercises were conducted by Rev. Dr. Faunce. Reports were read by the secretary, 8. M. Yeatman, from each church, giving a summary of the church history during the past year. STATUS OF THE METROPOLITAN CHURCH A communication was received from the of- ficers of the Metropolitan Baptist church, stat- ing that as their delegates were obliged to withdraw from the meeting of the association last year, it had been concluded not to place them in an unpleasant position, and therefore they declined to send delegates. At the request of Mr. A. M. Clapp the letter was read again. Rev. Mr. Stakely inquired whether the let- ter could be received in its present form. Mr. Clapp moved that the letter be returned, but subsequently withdrew the motion, as it was stated not to be in order. Rev. Mr. Green expressed the hope that if | any action was taken the letter would be re- ferred to a committee. He favored receiving the letter. i 4A NEW CHURCH. The reading of the reports from the churches was then continued. The First Baptist church reported that —_ were being prepared for the erection of a new church edifice at the southwest corner of 16th and O streets, upon the ground putchased some months ago for that purpose, THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS resulted in the choice of Rev. Chas, A. Stakely moderator of the meeting. 8, M. Yeatman was | re-elected secretary and Henry Beard treasurer. The chair appointed Rev. 8. H. Greene, Dr. ‘ J. C. Welling and W. S. Olive as a committee on order of exercises, After prayer by Rev. Mr. Meadér the associa- tion adjourned for lunch, which was furnishéd by the ladies of the church.

WHY SHE LET NEWMAN HAVE MONEY—SHE LOANED IT TO HIM AFTER THEY WERE EX- GAGED—SHE DOES NOT WANT HIM PROSECU- TRD—A VISIT TO THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. — Marion D. Newman, alias Noble, alias St. Clair, alias De Hughes, whose love affairs with Mrs. Kate Smith got him behind prison bars, was brought up to the Police Court this morn- ing to answer a charge of false pretenses. His hair needed cutting badly, and his face did not look as though a razor had touched it since his arrest- ten days ago. He was, however, in good spirits, as he exprossed himself confident that his trial would result in an acquittal. He was given a seat in onef corner of the courty room, where he sat reading a news until the case was called. Mrs, Kate Smith, who, it was charged, was defrauded, was at the court early this morn ing, and was examined at some length. She frequently broke down during the examination and wept bitterly. 18 NEWMAN A MARRIED MAN? Mr. Shillington called the case to the atten- tion of Judge Miller and said that the govern- ment was not ready for trial, and he desired to | ask for a further continuance until Thursday. | He said that a material and important witness was absent. One of the allegations of the de- fense is that the defendant was a single man. ‘This the .. claims is not true and has sent to Nashville where his alleged wife is | supposed to reside, and expects to hear from there every day. MRS, SMITH DOES NOT WANT TO PROSECUTE, Mr. Campbell Carrington, for the defendant, said that he would certainly object to any far- ther continuance, He would enter his protest in the name of justice and fairness against the | prisoner being treated different from any other | mn. In the first place, the government ad no case, Mrs, ith did not desire to [sop He said that she had been to see and stated that she loaned the defendant the money willingly. The prosecution is cer- against her will, and should the letters | which were taken from the prisoner be read | it would certainly be done against her will, | and would probably disclose the names of | many other ladies. Love letters, be said, are tough when read by them for whom they are intended, but they are worse when read to the world, Mr. seghit nm eae ec to wees the purposes of this case, 101 it is not a fact, that the defendant has a weenie. Under such an admission Mr. Shillington said he would agree to go to trial. ‘MRS. SMITH’S TESTIMONY, ‘Mrs, Smith was then called. She testified that her name was Kate Georgiana Smith and that she lives at No. 124 Massachusetts avenue northwest. Witness said that she first became acquainted with the prisoner by answering a | personal in the Post. Mr. Shillington read from acopy of the paper the following: “A gentleman, aged forty, a lawyer by pro- fesssion, now attending the Supreme Court, de- sires to form the acquaintance of a lady be- thirty-five years; must be domestic, affectionate and willing to reside in California, and have some means. Commu- nications considered strictly confidential, Ad- dreas M. D. M., this office.” ~ Mrs. Smith identified the personal as the one which she answered. She then identified a letter shown her but Mr. Carrington objected to the admission of tho letter. "Why drag her rivate correspondence into this case?” asked ir. Carrington. “There are many reasons why it should not be made public.” “I don’t propose to drag it into the case,” answered Mr. Shillington, | A TRIP TO THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. Witness said that she first met the prisoner | on Thursday, October 25. She next met him one week later, They went through the na- tional museum She had never been there be- ‘fore, and he described the various objects of interest to her. “What was the general drift or tone of the conversations?” asked the prosecuting officer. “Travels in California,” she answered. “There was nothing particular said.” “Did he refer to the question of matrimony?” — I speak about the money?” Mra, Smith se Mr. Carrington insisted that the witness had | aright to explain, but the judge said to her that she had better answer the question and get through. “asked you,” said the prosecuting attorney, “if the question of matrimony was introduced at any time?” “That is a private affair,” said Mrs, Smith, “and should not be discussed.” “You must answer the question,” said the court. “It was discussed,” she answered. After a moment's hesitation she exclaimed, “Qh, judge, Iam SUFFERIN? TERRIBLY.” “There will be nothing said that will affect you,” paid the judge. “Did he get any money from you?” was asked. | “Yes, sir.” | “How much?” “Forty-nine dollars,” “Was there any agreement, bargain, or un- derstanding about getting married: “Yes, sir.” & id he ever say that he was an unmarried man?” “Tam under that impression.” __ “How did you get that impression?” “From the conversations we had.” THE BROKEN ENGAGEMENT, “Had you been engaged before you gave him the money?” “Yes, sir, but the engagement had been bfokenoff. I gave him the money of my own free will.” She added that she gave him the | money on 10th street, about October 28; she | gave it to him because she had confidence in | him. “I begged them not to bring me here,” =a Mrs. Smith, who seemed completely broken wn. It was —— that on account of her con- dition that the case go over until a time when she would be better prepared to give her testi- mony. Mrs. Smith objected to such a course. She was here and she wanted to finish the matter, She said that she employed Detective McDevitt to investigate the defendant, and it was through him that the arrest was made. She afterward REQUESTED HIS RELEASE. “Why did you give him the money?” “Because he requested the loan of it. He said he was ina strange Jee He told me | that he had money in a San Francisco a | and had sent for some.” “Would you have loaned him the money if you had knéwn he was a married man?” “I think I would have done so under the cir- cumstances.” “Was there anything said about clothes?” F.
