She and Her Companion Arrested in Virginia. ‘Specal Dispatch to Tax EVENING STAR: Woopsripee, Va., June 13, 1889, Lieutenant James Smith, of the Alexandria Police force, arrived here this morning and arrested John M. Houster and Maggie Taney, of Shenanville, Pa., on the charge of criminal intimacy preferred by the father of the girl. Mr. Geo. W. Taney, the father of the girl, arrived at Alexandria several days ago in search of his erring daughter, a young girl about cighteen years of age, who had fled with her lover from her home in Pennsylvania, He had traced them as far as Washington, and there learned that they had taken cars for Alexandria. Inquiries in Alexandria failed to find them, and Mr. Taney was about to give up the sad search when Capt. Webster, Lieut. Smith and ex-Officer Bernard Cline re- ceived intelligence that the couple had located at Woolbridge, which is a small station on the Alexandria and Fredericksburg railroad, some 20 miles below Washington. Lieut. Smith came here this mornmg with the father and made the arrest, and the parties will start north this afternoon, WHAT THE MAN LOOKS LIKE. The prisoner is a short thick-set man with light moustache. He is apparently twenty-five or twenty-eight years old. His suspicious ac- tions were noticed by persons about Woodbridge station. He always avoided a conversation, particularly when it concerned himself. All be would say was that he was from Phoenixville, Pa. He claimed to have money in a Pheenixville bank. No one about Woodbridge could ever understand why he came there or what business he was engaged in. During his short stay he paid frequent visits to the railroad station and was learning how to manipulate the tele- graphic instruments, During the last day or two the young girl has shown signs of nervous- ness and seemed to lose her appetite. The pris- oner has been known at Woodbridge as Mr. Hawes and the young girl was supposed to be his wife. They occupied the same room, and seldom left theroom at the same time except when at the dining table, — MINOR FOREIGN NEWS. Ex-Premier Garashinin Released from Custody—The Pope’s Health.

Amon, the trusts sugar was again decidedly strong an: advanced 1 per cent to 111, while cotton oil showed some strength, and lead was weak with the regular list.

Sprrnorre.p, Mass., June 13.—There is great excitement in Shelburn Falls, one of the most thriving towns in the Deerfield valley, over the possibility that the Sadawga lake, in Whitingham, Vt.. some distance above, may give way way and flood the valley, resulting in a fearful destruction of life and property. The lake covers over 450 acres, and is said to con- nearly eight billion gallons of water. The dam is very narrow and about 22 feet high. ‘The water is over a square mile in area and 40 feet deep. It has, within a week past, sprung aleak, but hasbeen temporarily patched up.

Curcaco, June 13.—Mrs, Conklin was the frst witness who testified, and she occupied the ehair about twenty minutes, Her testimony was only a repetition of that which has been many times published, except that she attempted a mimute description of the man who, by means of the ice man’s card, decoyed Cronin to his death on May 4, This descri far as Mrs. Conklin’s memory xtendes, tallies ES with the published description of lcDonald the blacksmith now under arrest in New York. The remainder of the jury's in- vestigations during the forenoon were ‘si larly —_ devoid oi interest. Pat Di- nap, the livery man, ik the stand, repeated "his oft-told _ story and was excused. His evidence varied in no wise from his testimony before the coroner's jury. Old man Carlson detailed the par- ticulars of the renting of bis property, and was required to tax his memory to its utmost for a faithful description of the parties who took possession of the house, and whose identity is now so eagerly desired by the Chicago police He became slightly confused in his story however, and shed but little light upon the scene, His son was next called to the stand and did some better. His description of Williams tallied in many respects with that of Maroney, whom the New York police now have in custody, and Chief Hubbard feels hope- fal that these two will turn out to be one and the same. Capt. Schuettler was on hand all the fore- noon and was called in once or twice to en- lighten the jury as to the scope and result of his investigation in certain particulars, Chief Hubbard made his appeaiance in citizens dress pass infos alive to all new developements of in- eres ——ee HYPOLITE’S VICTORY. The Reports Substantiated by a Steamer from Kingston. New Yorx, June 13.—The steamer Alene, from Kingston, Jamaica, June 6, arrived this morning and brings intelligence substantiating the London cable reports of Hypolite’s victory and Legitime’s defeat in Hayti. Chief Officer Williams, of the Alene, says that Hypolite is “king of the walk,” and that his opponent has sought the protection of the American consul at Port-au-Prince. Hypolite, Ofticer Williams added, had entered Port-au- Prince and taken possession of the town. The victorious warrior, however, Williams said, was not popular, and could probably never be pres- ident of the black republic by the vote of the inhabitants, Aman named Marrann, Legitimes’ minister of foreign affairs or an ex-president of the re- public, whose name Mr. Williams could not re- call, would doubtless appear as the next candi- date for the presidency of Hayti. ge COURTESIES TO AMERICANS.

The defense claimed the right to have all the jurors — to challenge from, but they were over- le POINTS OF LAW. The defendant also claimed that they had the right to ten challenges, on the ground that the offense was a felony. The court stated that in his view the offense was not a felony, and the defense therefore had but three challenges. Some discussion on this point followed, Mr. Garnett stating that C! Justice Carter had ruled that offenses punishable in the peniten- ee! were felonies. The court, citing the act of March 2, 1831, said that the definition of offenses remained as before that date, and assault with intent to kill was a misdemeanor at common law, ‘This was @ misdemeanor, and he adhered to his ruling. The jury-box being full, the defense excepted to the summonsing of talesmen and to the rul- ing that they had exhausted the challenges, THE JURY—THE OPENING STATEMENT. The following are the jurors: S. Thos. Brown, 8. Bryan, R. C. Jenkins, J. K. Forrest, Jas. A. Tolbert, Jas, L. Carberry, W. B. Turner, L. R, Trembly, B. I. Ellen, R, H. Mitchell, W. T. Ashby, and 8. L. Hoover. Mr. Lipscomb, tor the government, said that the defendant was a dispursing clerk of the Senate post-office and Hackman a riding page, who received his pay from Mr. Cunningham. They had some words and Hackman received a blow. The following day he called at Cunning- ham’s desk to receive his pay and remarked to Cunningham that he had made a cowardly as- sault upon him, Then Cunningham ran from behind the desk and struck Hackman in the mouth, aud a struggle followed. When they separated Cunningham drew a revolver and fired, the shot embedding itself in the wall, HACKMAN'S TESTIMONY, Mr. Hackman testified that on the 6th of March he went to Craw his pay. Mr, Cunning- ham was not thcre, but witness saw bim later, and their grectings were pleasant. Witness told Cunningham that Mr, Tatum hed not re- ceived his check, and that he had loaned T. twenty dollars to pay off his hands and asked him for the check. Cunningham replied, “I can't pay you the check, It's Tatum's, as be earned the money.” I then said ‘Tatum has been up to get his pay, and you couldn't make itout. He told me to ask for it and he would ‘| indorse it and let me have my money out of it.” Cunningham replied, “I can’t do it; I can’t help you to collect your debts.” Witness re- plied: “If you had done as you ought, you would bave given him the check first.” “With that he banged me in the mouth,” said the witness, ‘and I said to him: ‘Here is this man coming down month after month for this little pittance. If you had done as you ought, instead of sitting here in the post-office, he wouldn't need this to-day,’ and walked away, March 11 I went to the cashier’s window and said, ‘The other day down in the post-office I talked to you in a gentlomanly way; that was a cowardly way to strike me, You certainly were a coward to strike me that way.’ Cunningham then came out toward me with his hand to his hip pocket. and I backed and then blows were exchanged, Cunningham in the meontime tell- ing me to get out. I then left, when Cunning- ham foliowed and fired at me.” On cross-examination witness was asked if before March 11 he had not made threats to get even with Cunningham. He said he had not, but had said that he did not like the way be had been treated. He had not invited Bull and others to see him get even with Cunningham. David E. Brockett testified as to the diagram of the room. Thos, A. Keech testified as to the shooting; thathe understood Cunningham to say to Hackman, “You had better get out of here,” or words to that effect. Witness watched the parties, having heard of the previous difliculty, thinking that they were going to fix it up, not thinking that there would be any shooting. On cross-examination witness said that Hack- man was turning when the pistol was drawn. Frank M. Cumpers testitied that he was in Mr. Cunningham's office at the time of the shooting; that the men got to scuffling, after which Cunningham drew the revolver and fired. On cross-examination witness said that Mr. Cunningham said that the shot was to frighten Hackman. This closed the testimony for the govern- ment. ee DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

The event- ful day came, and he delivered his prepared speech according to program, Then, drawing a watch from his pocket, he said impressively: “But I see that have exhausted my time, and I leave the case in your hands, gentlemen,” and sat down. The watch did nat have any works in it, and the case had been knocking about the house for years, butas the speech had been marked at this place “Here produce watch,” he flashed the case on the jury so impressively that he won his suit. ssosrasirtasl Nt aE A Woman With a History.
