THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. Mrs. Taylor’s Case Now in the Hands of Twelve Men of Accomac County. An Onancock, Va., special to the Baltimore Americen says that in the trial of Mrs. Virginia Taylor for the murder of her husband, that h: been in progress for the past four days in Ac- comac county court, Judge Garrison gave in- structions to the jury in the following form: First. The court instructs the jury that circum- stantial evidence ina criminal case should be acted on with the utmost caution. Second. The court instructs the jury that to justify thei in finding the prisoner guilty, the evi- dence must exclude every hypothesis consist- ent with innocence. No matter how suspicious the cirenmstances of the case may be, if upon the evidence there be a reasonable doubt, either that the deceased did not die from poi- son, or that if poisoned the poison was not administered by the rixouer, or that if administered y her it was so administered by accident or Without criminal intent. In either event the Prisoner is entitled to her acquittal, and in de- termiuing whether any of the three hypothesis is true the jury is instructed that the burden of the proof is upon the commonwealth to show beyond a reasonable doubt that none of the three is true. Third. If, upon either one of the said hypothesis mentioned in the second in- struction given by the court, the jury enter- tained a reasonable doubt of the guilt of the prisoner, they must acquit her. Fourth. If, upon the whole evidence, or upon any single point essential to the prisoner's guilt, the jury entertained a reasonable doubt, they must ac- quit her. Hon. John W. G. Blackstone opened the case 4m a strong and vigorous argument for the pros- ecution. He aa no harsh language toward the prisoner. and did not ask the jury to make & vicarious sacrifice of her, but only to uphold the law and protect human life. Hon. John Mecly followed for the defence ina spesch of remarkable power and eloquence. He con- structed a plausible theory to establish the in- nocence of the prisoner, contending that de- ceased may have died from natural causes, and that no evidence had been addueed to show that the prisoner had given her husband any strychnine. Mr. Neely’s appeal for the accused Woman was one of the most eloquent and effect- ive ever heard in this court. Jas. H. Fletcher, jr., attorney for the com- monwealth, closed the case witha strong argu- ment against the prisoner. It was exactly half- t 6 p. m. when the case was given to the jury. 8 Taylor, who sat inside the bar throughout the entire argument, showedsome slight symp- toms of anxiety and suspense after the jury had gone out, but she managed to retain her self- composure in a remarkable degree. After being out about forty minutes the jury r turned and stated they had not reached a diet. The sheriff took them in charge, and Mrs. Taylor was led back to ‘There is considerable diversity of opinion here as to the probabie action of the jury. Many think the prisoner will be sent to the peniten- tiary, while others believe there will be a hung jury. Few, if any, believe that the accused will be found guilty ‘of murder in the first de- gree. soe Dinner to the Postmaster-General. GIVEN BY MAYOR FITLER OF PHILADELUIA. A complimentary dinner was given to Post master-General Wanamaker by Mayor Edwin H. Fitler, at his residence, on Walnut street, Philadelphia, last night. About twenty-five gentlemen were present to meet the distin- guished guest, among them being George W. Childs, Gov. James A. Beaver, Thomas Dolan, James Dobson, Dr. William Pepper, Alex. K. McClure, Charles Emory Smith, Congressmen Harmer, Kelley and Bingham; James Elverson, William M. Singerly, and George R. Howell, of New York. Hon. muel J. Randall sent a letter of regret, saying his illness would pre- vent him from going to Philadelphia. A. J. Drexel and Senators Cameron and Quay also sent letters of regret. soe = What Gov. Beaver Says. An Associated Press dispatch from Harris- burg states that Gov. Beaver said, speaking of Major Armes’ attack on him: “It was unfortu- nate that the poor crazy creature should do as he did.” Asked to give a statement of the af- fair, he said: ~I passed him in the office and he said something concerning his treatment on inanguration day. I told him I was not respon- sible for his removal from the line and did not know it until afterward. As I passed on I saw him reach for me and I turned quickly. I was afraid he had a pistol and would shootme. He had threatened to shoot Gen. Hastings, and I didn’t know what he might do. AsT saw his hand go_up I struck at him. I struck twice because I wanted him to,know that he must quit that sort of thing. I then went to my car- riage. and when I returned in the evening I heard that there was considerable excitement over it. [asked the newspaper men not to say anything about it. but they seem to have spread it. I have not yet read any account of the affair. The letter sent to me by Armes was scurrilous, and I took no notice of it.” soe A Camera in a Court-room. THE HUSBAND OF A WITNESS OBJECTS TO BIS WIFE'S PICTURE BEING TAKEN. Henry Mix created a scene in the supreme court in New Haven, Conn., Thursday after- noon. His wife, a beautiful young woman, was testifying in the contested-will case of Mrs. Ade- line King. of Detroit. The court stenographer, S. W. Cogswell, was sitting near by the wit- ness-box, and on his desk lay a detective camera. When Mrs. Mix struck a particularly be- witching attitude, Mr. Cogswell aimed the camera at her. Mr. Mix jumped from his seat, and, approaching Cogswell, told him that no one uid take pictures of his wife. There wasa wordy dispute between the men, during which the court had to suspend. oe The Ex-President’s Party. Ex-President Cleveland and party arrived at Tampa, Fla., from Havana yesterday. They were all greatly pleased with their Cuban trip. ‘They visited the great tobacco factories at Ybor city and later went to Sanford and Orlando. They go to Jupiter Inlet to-day. It is uncer- tain whether the party will be able to give the time necessary for the proposed entertainment in Jacksonville. coe = The America’s Cup. A FORMAL CHALLENGE SAID To BE NOW ON THE WAY FROM LORD DUNRAVEN. The New York Erening World publishes a telegram from its Glasgow correspondent to the effect that Lord Dunraven has forwarded a challenge to race for the America’s a A yacht of, 60 tons measurement is now being built at Southampton for Lord Dunraven from by Mr. Watson, of Glasgow. At the last meeting of the New York Yacht cluba cablegram was read asking whether a race could be arranged on the terms of the last one, and the reply sent was “yes.” Whether this had reference to Lord Dunraven’s yacht is not known. Mr. J. Beavor-Webb says it is not, and bases his denial on the ground that he is personal friend of Lord Dunraven and is in position to know definitely if the boat was coming for the cup. Moxx Taarxs to New Yorx.—The Baltimore and Ohio railroad company has again increased the facilities for travel to and from Washington by establishing a complete service of fast ex- Press trains between this city und New York and,by additions to its Philadelphia schedule. All “the trains are equipped with Pullman's parlor and sleeping cars, and the high reputa- tion for punctuality achieved by the Baltimore and Ohio trains to Philadelphia will be fully * maintained in its New York service. — Surr Over Mary Wasurnotox’s Tomp.—A Fredericksburg, Va., special to the Baltimore American says: Messrs. Colbert & Kietley, real estate agents here, entered, in the circuit court of this city to-day, a suit against Mr. G. W. Sheppard for libel, claiming $10,000 damages. ‘The suit is the result of the controversy about the option on the lot containing the grave and monument of Mary Washington, given by Mr. d to Colbert & Kietley. "The attorneys for plaintiffs are Messrs. A. H. Dickinson and W. 8. White, of this city, and Col. R. J. Washington, of Westmoreland. The case will come before t! rt at the May term. soe Suot at Geese axp Kitten a Curip.—Capt. Joseph Delano, of the steam tug S. M.

From the Albany Evening Journal. There is much talk now abont the woman of the future. Whether she will don a frock coat, natty vest, trousers and a silk hat, after the fashion of Dr. Mary Walker, or whether she will wear her hair short and parted on the side is still a matter of conjecture. However this may be, the woman of the future is going to revolutionize the world. She is going to clear that cess-pool of iniquity known as politics. She is going to settle the burning questions of the day and prove that she is no longer the weaker vessel. The woman of the future, according to the strong minded, will not be engaged in the pret- ty employment of doing fancy work and em- broidery, of making cats and dogs and darned lace, but will be holding a seat in Congress, hegding a brass band and running a political campaign. This woman still belongs to the future, and how she may step down from the future into the present is agitating the public mind. As one can only be fair and just with a case by hearing both sides, arguments are of- ferred on the wrong side of this vital question. One writer on the subject says that women were at their best as women of the house, as mothers and friends. Whatever they may do or be is admirable and womanly. They have fewestof the qualities which make good political leaders, and to give preponderance into the hands of women is simply national suicide. But the voice of the women of to-day calls for protection and (tt hes of taking their sanctified womanhood to the polls. forgetting that their best protection is that sanctified womanhood. A gentleman on being asked what Was most attractive in a woman, replied: quality of rest.” When a man seeks afew hours of quiet in his home from the burly burly madness of professional or business life, does he want to hear anything about stocks and bonds? Does he want to discuss the tariff or the assembly ceiling with his wife? And as that man sits under the evening lamp with his family gathered around him, what matters it to them whether the ceiling committee has re- ported, or whether there is likely to be trouble with Samoa, or who supports the Vedder tax bill? Does any woman need further protection than that which husband, home, and sons can give? The home is the ballot-box for women and all the franchise she needs is to reign queen of her own household. There her influence is perpetual. There characters are molded for time and eternity. Benjamin West said, “A kiss from my mother made me a painter.” Benjamin Franklin said, “All that I am, all that ! Lexpect to be, Lowe to my mother.” Martin Luther, the leader of the German reformation, came from an obscure home. His mother was noted only as a woman of exemplary virtue. The silent influence of the home is the reform that reforms, Life is short and partings come quick enough ifall the home ties remain unbroken and an opportunity is never missed to keep the society of those who associate with exch other in the home, When a woman leaves husband and children to enlist in some great reform or talk on the suffrage question and plead for her rights, she leaves all there is worth living for. She takes away a companionship the loss of heres is felt daily, hourly, Itis the best of life, an ality 2 eThe “When women try to grasp the stars ‘They lose the Jewels at their feet.” LATE FOREIGN NEWS. The American colony in London is already | wee paring for a suitable reception to Mr. Robt. + Lincoln, the newly appointed American minister. Lord Salisbury has expressed pleasure at the nomination of Mr. Lincoln. The Daily News said: “Mr. Lincoln will be welcomed if only for the name he bears.” The French import duties on rye have been doubled. The committee that has charge of the ban- quet to Mr. Parnell in London 1s continuing its preparations. The difficulty experienced in finding a suitable place for the entertainment led to a report that the project had been abandoned, but this is now denied. The dinner will probably be given in the royal aquarium, Viscount Mori, the Japanese minister of edu- cation, who was assassinated at Tokio not long ago, seems to have been the victim of a religions fanactic, who imagined that the vis- count desecrated one of the shrines at Ise by entering it with his boots on. One of the largest bankers and stock brokers of Geneva has committed suicide. He suffered heavy losses through copper speculation. The report that a duel had been fought between Count Hoyos and Count Baltazzi, growing out of the death of Prince Rudolph, proves to be without foundation. The chamber of deputies of France agreed to granta credit of 20,000,000 francs for the erection of a memorial of the revolution. The parliament of Holland will assemble on April 2 for the purpose of receiving a commu- nication from the ministry, in which a formal announcement will be m: capacity for government. The illness of the Austrian empress is said to be very serious. John McDonald Cameron, member of parlia- ment for the Wick district, sailed from South- ampton for New York yesterday. ‘Twenty-one suicides occurred at Monte Carlo during January and February, and several are reported to have taken place during the present month. This season is considered to have been thus far the most prosperous in the history of the casino, the winnings of the bank in Febru- ary alone having been 750,000. Ex-Queen Natalie has promised that she will not attempt to return to Belgrade at present. The trustees appointed by the Paris tribunal of commerce report that the directors of the Comptoir d’Escompte are responsible for de- claring a higher dividend in January than the justified. The trustees are further ¢ opinion that the copper contracts were ion of the statutes, and therefore void.

From the New York Sun. Trex-tstx, Feb. 2.—It is now certain thatthe fifth prince, the oldest surviving brother of the Emperor Tao Kwang and uncle of the present Emperor Kwang Hsu, has formed a combina- tion with the emperor's tutors and the leading men of the six boards of government, and has succeeded in blocking all plans for the exten- sion of the Tien-tsin-Kaiping railroad toward Peking. The throne has been forced to with- draw its sanction for the extension, and to for- bid all further proceedings on the part of the company. The proposals recently sent in for the rails and cross ties have been rejected, and the loan offered by the Hong Kong and Shanghai bank has been, or soon will be, cancelled. The combination against the progressive movement has more strength, organization, and respectability than anything of the sort seen in China for many years. It was organ- ized by one of the ablest ‘and most courageous Chinese officials, belonging to several of the great boards, and it controls the voting power of them all, with a strong contingent of men of rank, éeveral of them very near the throne. _ The movement against the railway and its extension was primarily directed against the Viceroy Li, cs was recently stricken with paralysis, but is now thought to be recovering. le will, of course, fight vigorously against the reactionary measures of tke government, for successful they are necessarily a death blow to all that remains of his policy and prestige, He is said to be somewhat encouraged by the success of the mining operations carried on by Prof. Church in Mongolia, and will make a des- perate struggle to vindicate the wisdom of the advice he has given to the government in re- gard to railways as necessary to the defense of the country, as well as to the development of its resources, It has also become known that the directors of the railway company had been compelled to bind themselves to avoid all competition with boat traffic on the Pei-ho and with cart traftic on the highway between Tien-tsin and Peking. Under these circumstances the road, if com- pleted, would have had hard times for a few years; and it is not strange that it was un- able in face of such restrictions to secure a single dollar's subscription to its capital stock from the Chinese merchants and gentry, It is now conceded here that railroad build- ing is at an end in China for the present, and that the conservatives have gained complete control of the young emperor and his surround- ings. This must prove a serious blow to his father, the seventh prince, and also to the late empress regent, both of whom had given aid and countenance to the introduction of the rail- road as well as to other progre ssive measures recommended by the Viceroy Li. Bombardment of Gonaives. LEGITIME’S GUNBOATS DESTROYING A HAYTIAN TOWN, The brig Solaris, which arrived in New York yesterday from Haytian ports, says: “We left Port-au-Prince on March 10. On that dey the city was excited over the news that at that mo- ment Legitime’s gunboats were bombarding Gonaives, Three of the gunboats, the Belize, the Dessalines and the Toussaint l'Overture, were said to be doing terrible damage. The bombardment had been going on for some hours. and it was thought that the town would be entirely destroyed.” TRYING TO WIN OVER HIS ENEMIES. Reports reach New York from Hayti that more pacific measures have been resorted to by General Legitime to bring about a recon- ciliation of the northern and southern factions. Legitime has sent a deputation of three of the leading merchants of Port-au-Prince to Cape Haytian, who are empowered to offer terms and effect acompromise with the followers of Hyppolite. The Alvo, that sailed from New York Thursday for Port-au-Prince, took along some arms and ammunition for Legitime. Cap- tain Howard Patterson, a yachtsman and in- structor in the New York navigation school, was a passenger. Captain Patterson, it is said, will become admiral of Legitime’s navy. He is only thirty-three, but his record as a naviga- tor, sailor, and fighter is first-class, A Mournful Difference. From the Arkansaw Traveler. The Hon. John W. Bickle, one of the wealth- iest and consequently one of the most highly respected menin the Poplar shade neighbor- hood, was walking in his garden one evening, breathing the perfume of the early spring flowers, when a limping traveler, stained and unattractive in dress, came up to the fence, and, in a gentle voice, said something in com- pliment of the shrubbery, Bickle turned around, and, being instantly taken with the pleasing face of the man, replied: “Yes, the shrubbery is beautiful at this time of year, when the young and gentle leaves, touching each other for the first time, seem to be thrilled.” “Ah,” responded the tramp (for indeed he was such, albeit his face wore a gentle expres- sion), “I'am glad to know that this garden is owned by a man who has that pure sentiment which leads up to an appreciation of such dainty children of the forest.” “Won't you come in?” the Hon, Mr. Bickle asked. “Thank you, I shall be delighted,” and he accordingly entered the garden where, seated onabench,he and the honorable gentleman talked until ‘twilight had deepened with a tinge of eve.’ “My dear sir,” said Bickle, “I hear the sup- per bell; will you not join us in our evening meal?” ‘The stranger said he thought he would. Sev- eral days had passed since he had encompassed anything heavier than a thin bread ‘hand out” from the back window of a farmer's kitchen, and he was now ready to eat something. The stranger was not introduced to the handsome woman who presided at the table—indeed Bickle had not asked the name of the wayfarer—but this threw no damp dish-rag upon an appetite that had longed for sympathy and something to take into its embrace. “Now, my friend,” said Bickle, when the meal was finished, ‘let us go into the library and smoke fragrant tobacco.” i ‘The stranger said that he would go. During the past week he had smoked cigar stumps crumbled into a clay pipe, and the thought of smoking tobacco that had been subjected to no previous use made his mouth water. . When they had lighted imported cigars, when they had yielded to satisfaction’s perfect enthraiment, Bickle remarked: “My dear sir, I was once @ poor man.” *Ah!” ‘“ doubtless, as you are now.” “Oh, no, not impossible, buta fact. I started out as an editor, but saw the sheriff place a rude hand on my'tender plant; I tried numer- ous other callings, but was forced to tramp, At last Istarted out canvassing for a subscri tion book, entitled ‘Three Squints at the Hol!

One bright-faced youngster put up his hand. “Well, Willie, what do you know about Wash- ington?” “He was the ‘first President of tho United Stater,” answered the boy. There was silence then for quite a minute, This seemed to have exhausted the stock of in- formation, until at length a triumphant smile about a little girl’s mouth broke out on the gen- eral area of perplexed faces like a of sunshine on a muddy pool. A little hand went wy ‘Well, Annie, what can you tell us about Washington?” said the teacher, with an en- couraging smile. “Please, ma'am, he’s dead,” answered the little one.
