In the straggle, the gun was discharged, the load en- tering the ground near by. Almost imme- diately the second barrel was fired, the whole load entering Beckett's left leg above the knee. Simms surrendered himself to the deputy- sheriff, and Beckett was taken home, and died in about a week after the shooting. Beckett claimed that the shooting was in self-defense, and there was a conflict of testimony in the witnesses for the prosecution as to Simms’ | manner, whether it was threatening or not. When the evidence was ali in the state's attor- ney asked for a postponement of argument un- tilto-day, but this was not granted, and the case was given to the jury at midnight. At7 o'clock this morning the jury had uot agreed, standing, it is said, eleven for acquittal ‘to one for conviction. Much interest wagfelt in the issue of the case, many people’ remaining in the court- house till this morning awaiting the verdict, MR. O’BRIEN’S APPEAL. The Decision Regarded a Severe Blow to the Government’s Irish Policy. Lonpow, April 13.—The decision in the case of the appeal of Mr. Wm. O’Brien is regarded by both nationalists and liberals, as well as by many tories, as a severe blow to the government's Irish policy. Mr. O'Brien was sentenced to four months’ imprisonment at Carrick-on-Suir, and to six stan 2 at Tralee, the sentences to run connectedly. On March 26 Mr. O’Brien was arraigned before Judge Curran, at Killarney, for the hearing of his ‘al from his Tralee sentence of six months. ‘The case had not pro- ceeded far when Judge Curran suddenly inter- | sree to suggest a settlement of the dispute tween the Kenmare tenants and their land- lord, out of which THE PROSECUTION ORIGINALLY AROSE. The Kenmare estate was, during the difficulty, and 1s to this day a scene of desolation. As a atriotic Irishman, Judge Curran could not | pipes idly upon the devastation wrought by misunderstandings and useless bickerings, and asked whether it was not possible to refer the differences to arbitration. Mr. Healy at once said that the tenants had already offered to submit the matter to the arbitration of two English members of parliament, one to be chosen by the landlord and the other by the tenants, to act with Mr. J. G. McCarthy, the land commissioner, who originally fixed’ the rates on the estate, as umpire. Mr. Healy of- fered Judge Curran himself as umpire, and the judge declared his willingness to act. The agent of the estate asked to be allowed to refer the matter to the trustees, and Judge Curran adjourned the case to enable him to do so. THE ARBITRATION WAS AGREED UPON, and Mr.O’Brien’s Tralee sentence of six months was revoked. This suggestion of compromise was Judge Curran’s own idea, and did not come from Mr. O’Brien, who, however, was very will- ing to further any plan which held out a pros- pect of a fair settlement. The whole story is a striking comment on the claims of Mr. Balfour to have broken down the plan of campaign and all other plans of self- protection devised by the tenants. ‘The result of his plans is derelict farmers and widespread desolation. It is also a com- ment on the precious land act of 1887, which ought to have interposed some efficient and impartial arbitrating authority between land- jord and tenant, but which has wholly failed to do so. A capable and public-spirited Irish judge sees no choice but to interfere and sug- gest the arbitration which ought to have been provided by parliament in some form. It has not passed unnoticed that the spokesman of the tenants at once accepted the suggestion, while the agent hesitated.

SENATOR SPOONER’S LAST CALL. * The only Senator who put in an appearance was Mr, Spooner, and all he came for was to say “good-bye,” He is going home to-morrow and Washington will not see him again for a week when he will stay but a day or so, for on the 27th he boards the ‘Etruria” and, in com- pany with bis wife and the boy who has been so sick during the winter, will sail for Europe. Six wecks is the limit he has set upon his stay there. Then he will return and give some at- tention to his private affairs, which must have suffered considerably during the past eighteen mouths, “I FEEL AS THOUGH I DESERVED A REST,” said he toa Star reporter as he was leaving the White House. “Since a year ago last November Ihave been busily engaged in at- tending strictly to Senatorial duties. The only break in that period was during the campaign, when I delivered on an average three speeches a day, i feel as though I ought to have a little holiday.” Senator Spooner will be missed at the White House not only because he has been a pretty regular caller there, but because of his popt- ty. Everybody likes him and everybody is continually looking out for an opportunity to do something which will please him. Wiscon- sin’s interests will be cared for during his absence by Senator Sawyer. ‘MISSOURI was solidly represented. Congressman Wade has returned and was up early, The clerical- looking gentleman from the thirteenth district never allows himself to be preceded by a brass band nor is his triumphal way lit by torches, but he succeeds in getting a great deal of valuable patronage that more noisy competitors, as he says, “Never get a smell of.” THE ONLY SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN. Representative Houk was the only southern republican who came around. He countsa day lost that sees him not in the library talking with the President oyer the ways and means by which the party south of Mason and Dixon's is to be rewarded and built up. Ohio had Representative E. B. Taylor. He makes daily visits too, but his state has not secured anything since the Seuate rejected Mr. Halstead’s nomination. THE PACIFIC COAST. Representatives Morrow and McKenna, who saw the President twice yesterday, were “on deck again” this morning. They are working earnestly for some substantial recognition of the Pacific coast, but beyond admitting that they favor the candidacy of H. Z. Osborne for public printer, they will say nothing. Representative Tom Reed and Delegate Allen, Maine and Washington Territory, bulky and uttenuated, arrived about the same time. ‘The first looked very grave when he went out, the second wore the'same good-natured smile he always wears, SUNSET COX CALLS TO SAY “GOOD-BYE.” Representative 8. S. Cox climbed the stairs meekly, as became one who had no political interest in the administration, When he came out he button-holed a Srak reporter and said: “I simply said ‘good-bye’ to my old friend, Benjamin Harrison. I feel well; very much better than a little while ago, I have been through the valley of the shadow of political death with the rest of the democrats, and now I am off on a lecturing tour through Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. New lec- tures? No; just a few old ones. Something to make the folks smile while I gather in a little money. Itrust I shall have no more eggs than i pay for.” COL. FRED. GRANT had a pleasant chat with the President, and when he came out held quite a reception among the employes, He was evidently pleased to meet the old retainers and he greeted them heartily. Representative Cannon went in for awhile, but had nothing to say when he came out, ¢ cept that Clarkson was getting along very nicely indeed as to the fourth-class post-offices, IN BEHALF OF JUDGE sP! A strong effort is being made by leading re- publicans of Georgia and other parts of the south to induce the President to appoint Judge Emory Speer, of Georgia, to succeed Justice Matthews on the supreme bench. Judge Speer is endorsed by many of the most prominent members of the bar in his section, as well as by the politicians, and his friends think that if President Harrison concludes to put a southern man on the beuch he will be selected. EX-SENATOR PALMER TALKS OF HIS EUROPEAN TRIP. Ex-Senator Palmer, the new minister to Spain, was upstairs for more than half an hour. Col. Lacy, of Detroit, who would like to be second controller,came in with him. “I'm going away soon,” sighed the jovial ex-Senator. “[ shall remain here for about a week end then Iam going back to Michigen. The good people of Detroit have arranged to give me a farewell banquet on the 25th, and I have been led to understand that my presence is neces- sary to make the thing a success. My present intention is to sail on the 8th of May. Mrs. Palmer may accompany me and 80 mi my niece, Mrs, Hamilton; they have not defi- nitely decided to do so, Mr. Griffiths, my pri- vate secretary, will be along. He’s a valuable man—a good linguist and a ready-made diplo- mat.” FRIENDS OF THE RED MAN, The North American Indian had a few friends call upon the Prosident, and they de- parted very much pleased at the reception ac- corded them. They are members of the So- ciety of Friends, and were Thomas Foulke and Baltimore, OTHER CALLERS. Charles W. Sears, 8. C. Millard, and James B. Weed, of Binghampton, N. Y., arrived early and saw the President. So did Anthony F. ton, cashier of the First National bank, of Gar- den a. Kans. ; John N. Stewart. Capen Ohio; Judge Cole, of Fredericksburg, Va., Winfield T. Darbin, of Anderson, tat Asa C. Hill, a venerable-looking gentleman, the foreground of whose gray hair stood up like a church spire, wanted to have granted to him | private audience. “One moment of time” wrote he beneath his name ona card. He could not wait until Secretary Windom got through with the Prosident, so he went away with his wish ungratified. ‘THE PRESIDENT DID NOT GO AWAY to-day, although every arrangement had been house tender, Holly,” lies waiting at the wharf, ready at almost any time to start south, she would have started this morning, but the weather interferred, At the first favorable opportunity the excur- sion party will be made up and the day’s out- ing taken.

The Testimony ‘To-day—An Adjourn- ment Till Tuesday. The Armes court-martial met at 11 o'clock this morning, and the reading of the record of yesterday’s proceedings occupied nearly an hour. Judge Hubbell noted an exception to the ruling of the court yesterday overruling the plea of the accused against the jurisdiction. At 12:20 a recess was taken until 1 o'clock. Mr. Brinkerhoff was called upon the reas- sembling of the court to identify the letter from Capt. Armes to the adjutant-general, sub- mitting charges against Col. Gibson and Capt. Bourke, the letter referred to in the specifica~ tions. TESTIMONY OF POLICEMAN BROCKER, The next witness was Private Brocker, of the metropolitan police force. He was the officer who served the warrant on Capt. Bourke, commanding 2im to appear be- fore Judge Miller answer a charge of assault ied by Capt. Armes. Witness said that the sergeant in charge of the station handed him the warrant on the evening of March 8, and said that Capt. Armes wante: the case to be ready for trial at 10 o'clock the next morning. He saw Capt. Bourke and told him to be at the court at that time. The next morning when he went to the court he found Capt. Bourke there. Capt. Armes did not ap- ear, and after waiting there for a couple of jours they went away, WHY CAPT, BOURKE WAS NOT ARRESTED. The officer said, when cross-examined by Judge Hubbell, that he did not arrest Capt. Bourke. because “when you have a warrant for a respectable, decent kind of a man you don't take him into custody, but just tell him to be at the court next day. ” This was what was done in the case of Capt. Bourke. He did not serve a notice on the prosecuting witness—Capt. Armes—because the sergeant had told him that Capt. Armes wanted the case called for 10 o'clock the next morning. It was an understood thing that Capt, Armes would be there. There was quite A LIVELY TILT between the witness and Judge Hubbell, who tried to find out why the officer did not serve subpenas on the witnesses. The officer grew a little indignant at the judge’s persistent in- quiries. “Did you not tell Mr. Armes (the United States attorney) that you had the warrant in your pocket for two days before you served it?” asked the judge, sir; [ did not,” was the emphatic reply. AW hy didn’t you serve a subpena on Gov. Beave' whose hame was on the back of the “Because I was told that he was not in town and there was no use to go there to serve a subperna on him, One of the officers at the station told me that.” CAPT, ARMES’ LETTER. Mr, Stanley Waterloo, the managing editor of the Critic, was next called. He identified a copy of the Critic of March 16, containing Capt. Armes’ letter. The letter was not published in precisely the same terms as when received from Capt. Armes, having been somewhat less se- vere. The witness suggested that some of the terms used be changed. ADJOURNED TILL TUESDAY MORNING, The judge-advocate announced that he had but one more witness to produce in behalf of the prosecution, Mr. Shillington, the assistant district attorney, He was unable to appear, being sick in bed, and would probably not be able “to come until Tuesday morning. ‘The court therefore adjourned until 11 o'clock on next Tuesday, MR. ———— CANADAY IS HERE. He Says the Suit Does Not Effect His Personal Integrity. Sergeant-at-Arms Canaday arrived in Wash- ington at noon to-day. When seen by a Star reporter he said that this suit against the direc- tors of the Cresote company was a matter which would have to be fought out in the courts and not on the hustings or in the newspapers and that when the proper time comes his an- swer will be filed. He added that when the cuse was settled it would have no other effect upon his personal integrity than to thoroughly establish it and to show that he had been per- fectly honest in all his transactions, COMMISSIONER, ALONE with THE More Witnesses from the Washington Asylum Examined To-day. Mr. Wheatley was occupied all day to-day with the examination of witnesses from the Washington asylum touching the allegations made against the intendant. About fifteen of the employes and others from the asylum were present during the day, and were taken one by one into the board room. Here Mr. Wheatley, sitting at the end of a table with a stenographer at hand, heard the statements of the witnesses. Those examined to-day included Messrs, Aldrich, Schnopp, Arnold, Clark, Graff, McMann, Garnett and Tindall and Drs, Marion and Sexton, ‘The examination of Mr. Stoutenburgh’s ac- counts, it is said. has not been complted, Mr. Wheatley not having yet taken up that branch of the investigation. Mr. Wheatley thinks he will bad through with the taking of testimony Mon One of the witnesses sent up by Mr. Stouten- burgh to-day created a sensation. He was an old colored man employed as nurse in the hos- pital, and on account of lack of cleanliness, dis- pensed about him a most startling and unpleas- ant oder. Mr. Wheatley got through with him as quickly as possible, The question among the officials at the District buildings was how the sick in the hospital managed to stand, when vigorous people were so overcome by him. ot Va LOCAL NOTES Rey.

PRISONERS AT THE BAR. Exciting Scene at the Jail—Two Prison- Arraignments and 5 Sentences in the ers Escape, but are Recaptured. This morning as the Criminal Court van was atthe jailto bring up prisoners for arraign- ment and sentence two of the most desperate of them—George Parker and Lewis Wayman— made a bold dash for liberty, but were both be- | captured, the first named by the officers of the yan, James H. Springman and Lewis Pearce. The van was backed up to the door of the jail and twelve prisoners had been brought out into the front office and were being marched out, the two above named being at the head of the little procession. FLIGHT AND PURSUIT. As soon as the door was opened Parker, who was handcuffed to Wayman, slipped his brace- lets and jumped Past Springman. Wayman, with the irons ling from his wrist, ran to the left past Mr. ae ‘There was a press forward of the other prisoners, but two of them, Lewis Kennedy and Daniel Hart, held back, and Capt. Coleman promptly closed the jail door. Mr. Springman had his pistol, which he at once whipped out and started in pursuit of Par- ker, who ran across the commons in a south- westerly direction. Officer Springman fired all of the shots in his pistol at the fugitive, aiming at his legs, but none of the shots took effect. BOTH PRISONERS OUTRUN AND CAPTURED. It was simply a question then of the best limbs and wind, and Parker was soon ex- hausted. When Springman approached him he quickly submitted, remarking. “You have no more loads in your pistol.” Springman an- swered “Yes, butI have my wind.” Parker was taken back to jail. Mr. Pearce had no pistol, but when Wayman jumped past him he at once started in pursuit of the fugitive, who ran ina northeast direction, going past the brickyardand toward the marsh, Mr. Pearce picked upahalf brick and suc- ceeded in striking Wayman between the shoulders, and at a distance of half a mile from the jail succeeded in capturing him and took him'back to the prison, Wayman is noted as one of the fastest runners inthe District, but Pearce outrun him. THE RECAPTURED BURGLARS IN COURT. The recaptured prisoners were securely hand- cuffed and with the other prisoners were soon at the court-house, Parker, who is on trial for housebreaking at the residence of Lieut, Tyler, was arraigned to-day (with Columbus Sewall) for housebreaking at Senator Dawes’ residence, March 2ist,and he and Lewis Wayman for house- breaking and larceny at the residence of A. T. Britton, and they pieaded not guilty. It is the impression of the officers that sev- eral of the other prisoners knew of the con- templated break for liberty and were ready to take their chances too, and that Kennedy and Hart thwarted them ‘and prevented a stam- pede, BOUND TO ESCAPE. Parker, on being returned to jail, told the officers that they might do what they could, but he was bound to escape and would not let any opportunity pass if he saw the least show. —— OKLAHOMA POST-OFFICES. Representative Peters Takes Time by the Forelock. While the boomers are still stamping their feet on the borders of Oklahoma Representa- tive Peters, of Kansas, has given an exhibition of enterprise by getting two of his constituents appointed postmasters for the new territory. As yet there are no inhabitants, and therefore no towns and no post-oftices in the territory. ‘The towns will spring up very soon after the boomers are permitted to enter, and the post- offices will be needed at once. Mr, Peters, with his native foresight, set about to provide for this. Two land offices had been established. Mr. Peters went to the President and the Postmaster-General and pointed out the necessity of having a _ post-office established with each of the land offices, Upon his presentation of the case the two offices were at once established. One of his constitu- ents was appointed to one of them, and it was fixed all right with the President that Mr. Peters’ man should have the other. Bein; fourth-class post-offices the appointments ha. to come through Mr, Clarkson, and when it came to making the second one he hesitated and held the matter up. Mr. Peters saw him several times about the matter and still the appointment did not come. Finally, Mr. Clarkson said that the President was going to send a special agent out there to see if ee was not some resident who was a proper person for the appointment; that he did not like the idea of taking men outside. retorted the Congressman, “there are no residents, or, if there are, they are there in violation of the law.” ‘That settled it, and the appointment was given him by right of discovery. “In ten settlers,” sa} opened to the hese two post- WASHINGTON | NEWS AND GOSSIP. Parmaster-GENERAL Funton Surpuisep.— The published story that Secretary Tracy bad asked for the resignation of Paymaster-General Fulton, and was already considering a number of names with a view of selecting his successor, caused quite a stir in naval circles yesterday but when brought to the attention of the Si tary was met with an emphatic denial. od The paymaster-general said this morning to a Stax reporter that the pabte ation was a complete surprise to him, and that he had not had any in- timation of the reported fact. It is a mystery where the story originated, as it seems to have no foundation whatever, Bins ror Stationeky.—A committee consist- ing of Chief Clerk Rov, Madison Davis, J. R. Woodbridge, and W. D.

In the Criminal Court, Judge Bradley, to-day, the following persons were arraigned and pleaded not guilty: George Parker and Colum- bus Sewall, house-breaking (at the residence of Senator Dawes); George Parker and Louis Wayman, house-breaking (at the residence of = T. Britton); James waters, receiving stolen gree Gray pleaded guilty of house-breaking (at the stheireet M. E. church) March 15. Tu the case of Daniel Miller, colored, con- victed of housebreaking, sentence was sus- n Thomas Stogle, convicted of assault with in- tent to kill Frank Henson, was sentenced to two years in the Albany pevitentiary. The court said that this case grew out of the fact that the prisoner had a pistol close at hand, and that he was not here ona more serious charge was due to Providential interposition. Daniel Hart, convicted of housebreaking at the store of W. H. Michael, February 10, was sentenced to two years in the Albany peniten- tiary. Hart had been from the penitentiary but a week when arrested on this charge, hav- ing served a term for a similar crime at the same place, Thomas Mackey, housebreaking in day and larceny of harness, sentenced to two years in the Albany penitentiary. Mackey protested his innocence, Wm. Smith, colored, housebreaking March 4, was sentenced to two years in the Albany peni- tentiary. Edward Ste colored, housebreaking, store of Spencer , was sentenced to two years in the Albany penitentiary. Henry Foster, convicted of larceny from the person, was sentenced to one year in the Albany mnitentiary. He protested his innocence, and the court said that he was impressed that he did not tell the truth on the stand, for he be- came embarrassed, and the beads of perspira~ tion trickled down his face on a cool day. Major Lewis, convicted of the larceny ofa watch from John Farrell, was sentenced to three years in the Albany penitentiary. Wm. H. Contee, convicted of assault with intent to kill, was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary, Wm. Buckner, assault with intent to kill, was sentenced to six years in the penitentiary, Buckner said that this was the first time such a charge had been brought. The court said that the assault was a most outrageous one, and, although but seventeen years of age, he had impressed the court that he was a boy who liked to carry a pistol and shoot it, too. Wm. Woodson, grand larceny, was sentenced to the reform school a Edward Gray, who ple: breaking, was Sentenced to ane years in the Albany hepreemape ls A nolle pros, was entered in the cases of Edward Skewman, Edward Golway and James Quarles, charged with robbery. This afternoon Judge Montgomery came into the Criminal Court to impose sentences, &c., in cases recently tried betore him. wis F. Kennedy, convicted of larceny from the person (a watch at 9th and F streets on March 4), was called. Mr. Campbell Carring- ton, for the accused, spoke of this being the tirst offense, and referred to the fact that Ken- nedy had an opportu: to escape when two prisoners escaped at the jail door this morning and were recaptured, but he assisted in keep- ing the others from stampeding. The court said that it was a serious offense, and the maximum sentence was six years. In view of all that had been said and giving him credit for his conduct to-day, the fact remained that a serious infraction of the law had been committed. He imposed a sentence of six months in the Albany Penitentiary. THE JU EMANN TRAGEDY. No Clue to the Assassins, But Plenty of Rumors Afloat. It was rumored in East Washington this morn- ing that Mrs. Juenemann, mother of George Juenemann, the victim of Friday night's trag- edy on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, near the Second street crossing, had offereda reward of $1,000 for the apprehension of the person or persons unknown who caused the death of her son, The police had not heard to-day of any reward having been offered. The mystery sur- rounding the killing still remains unsolved, al- though Detective Mattingly has been hard at work on the case. A SINGULAR THING about the case is the fact that the hat worn by the deceased has not yet been found, but sev- eral explanations have been offered concerning it. The principal one is that some person picked the hat up the next morning and, thinking it was good enough for them, wore it, while others are of the opinion that the hat was done away with by the person or persons who, it is thought, committed the homicide, WHAT Dk. BOND Sava. When seen by a Stan reporter, Dr. 8.8 Bond, the physician who attended the de- ceased, expressed great surprise at the fact that he was neither invited to the autopsy nor summoned to the inquest. “Iwas called to see the patient,” said the doctor, “on Friday night. It was about 11 o'clock when I saw him. I remained with him nearly two hours, during which time he yom- ited about one-half gallon of blood. He continued vomiting the next day, He had a severe cut over the right eye, in which I put five stitches. This wound looked as though, it had been made with the heei of a boot. Then there was a clean cut on the back of his head and a stab in the right cheek, which I also sewed up, These wounds were no doubt in- flicted vith » sharpfinstrument, The wounds of the head were not so serious as his internal injuries. “Tadvised his famil; continued the doc- tor, “to notify the detectives and have them work quietly on the case, and supposed they had done so. On the day of his death I called in Dr, Ford Thompson. THE CAUSE OF DEATH. “It is a singular fact,” repeated the doctor, “that although I had attended the deceased, I was neither* invited tothe autopsy or sum- moned to the inquest. Dr, Johnson swore at the inquest that fracture of the skull and compression of the brain was the cause of death. While I have no doubt but that he found those facts, and they would have caused death, the real cause of death, was in- ternal injuries and not injury to the head as he showed no symptoms of compression of the brain before he died. On account of the in- ternal injuries I believed that he would not re- cover, and had he not died from that trouble so soon he would have died from the trouble with his head further on. Wills Filed.
