Hamilton and nm. “if the | Joseph Jones—were charged with being sus- truth comes out, will develop a startling state | picious characters. Officer Pearson testified of affairs, [expect to show that the colored Witnesses went in the defendant's place last Wednesday and that while there this colored special policeman entered. drew a pistol and told the men that they would have to be ar- rested as witnesses, is man Jones, I am informed, HAS BEEN IN THE PENITENTIARY and he now wears a policeman’s badge. Am I nght?” “I think you are,” answered Sergeant Har- bison. Mr. Carrington went on to tell how Jones and the witnesses returned and demanded $50 of Mr. Whitehead to drop the case. Jos. Jenkins, colored, was called as a witness and was warned by the court that he had bet- ter tell the truth. He then told a story corrob- orating most of the essential points stated by Mr. Carrington. He said that he borrowed 25 cents from the special officer. WHERE 18 JONES? “Where is this Special Officer Jones?” in- quired the court. Policeman Hurd said that he could not find Jones although he had been at his house and on his beat. Sergeant Harbison saidhe told Jones what had been said about his actionsand he denied it. Mr. Carrington remarked that his client in- tends to persecute Jones for blackmail, and ae he supposed, was the reason he was not ere. Witness Jenkins said that after they left the station they returned to the defendant's store, Jones telling them that they had better go in and see Mr. Whitebead. Mr. Shillington said that he wanted the spe- cial oflicer and Randall Bowie as witnesses. Policeman Hurd said he thought that the special officer was trying to keep out of the way. Mr, Shillington said he would ask that the ease be continued for a few days until the special officer and the other missing witness could be found. He thought that the United States district attorney should be in court when they do appear and hear their evidence. case went over until Friday, iovteataiat THE THEATERS. AxBaven's.—A crowded house greeted Rhea at Albaugh’s last night. The new play, ~Jose- phine,” was a success from the first act, the company being recalled after every scene. “Josephine” in itself does not leave an idea of completeness in the mind of the observer. The author has bgt out certain strong ritua- tions and worked them rather into a series of tableaux than a well-rounded play. Ihea, however, shines out with her usual splendor. Few plays go as accurately into history as does “Josephine,” and Rhea seems to concentrate into herself every tradition of the loveable empress, Her acting improves at every stage, reaching a climax of splendid effect in the sad ending. Mr. Wm. Harris as Napoleon gives an excellent idea of the great emperor as we know him. The other members of the com- pany are also good. Tue Nationat.—‘‘Held by the Enemy” opened to a good house at the National last night. Gillette's well-known production is one ofthe strongest of the military dramas of the day. It deals with scenes of the civil war and its scenic effects add largely to the success of the play. Miss Minnie Dupree as Susan Mc- Creery charmed the house by her piquant and natural acting. Miss Maud Haslam as Rachael — Wm. Harcourt as the hero are also excel- at. Kerxay’s.—The theater was packed from pit to gallery last night by a large crowd of enthu- siasts, who came to pay tribute to Muldoon, the trainer of Sullivan and the champion Greco-Roman wrestler. Many specialties pre- ceded the athletic of the entertainment. A sparring exhibition between Reddy O'Day, the champion heavy-weight o. Washington, and one 3 the company, was hotly contested. The weeeetng beats were both interesting and exciting, as t! over their professional brothers. Greek George locals gained quite a victory | that a number of houses—Nos. 323, 325and 327 3d street and 205 C street northeast—had been | robbed and Hamilton had been arrested in con- nection with the robbery and he implicated the other. Hamilton admitted that he had been in the houses and insisted that Jones and another boy were with him. The officer stated that Hamilton's father was dead and his mother in the poor house. Thecourt sent Hamilton to the reform school and dismissed Jones. — > Death of Miss Hallie English. The remains of Miss Hallie English, who died in Knoxville, Tenn., on the 25th instant wero taken through this city last night for in- terment in the family burial lot at Philadel- phia. Miss English, who was well-known ia this city, was the only daughter of Col. Thomas English, deceased. She was a young lady of fine accomplishments and rare traits of mind and heart. She leaves a broken-hearted mother and brother to mourn her untimely death. Miss English went from this city to Knoxville last spring to fill the position of teaching soprano in the First Baptist church in that city. Three weeks ago she was attacked with a light form of typhoid fever. No danger was apprehended till last Thursday night, when Les iets set in, and from that time she sank rapidly. Insanity of David Dennison Cone. Among the persons detained at the first precinct station this morning was Mr. David Dennison Cone. Insanity appeared on the blotter as the cause of his detention. Mr. Cone was at one time correspondent of the New York Herald, He was private secretary to President Grant, his duties being to sign land warrants. He has in his possession a letter written by the late President, as follow: “Mr. D. D. Cone has been my private secre- tary to sign land patents for several years, and has given entire satisfaction. I” have always found him a faithful and intelligent man, a good writer, and in no way inclined to betray a trust, U. rf Grayt.” Mr. Cone has recently occupied a room at No. 923 F street, and he was violently insane there yesterday, and was engaged in smashing the pictures in the room when Policeman Lawler Ellis took him in charge. Mr. Cone has wealthy friends in New York and New Jersey who have been notified of his condition. sesame THE COURTS. Equiry Court.—Judge Coz, Yesterday—Pauli agt. Pauli; re-reference to M.

Mor- gan, formerly District Commissioner, will sym- pathize with hinrin his sudden bereavement by the death of his wife, Mrs, Caroline M. Mor- gan, on Sunday, from congestion of the lungs. Mrs. Morgan was the daughter of the late Mr. Townsend Waugh of Georgetown, and since her girlhood had been « consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church, herself and her husband being members of the Foundry chureh. She lived to see six children grown, five of whom reside in this city, The funeral will take place from the family residence, 1841 Q street, to-morrow at 11 a.m. Son epes A Daughter of John C. Rives Dead. Mrs. Carrie Williams, daughter of the late John C. Rives, died yesterday morning at the old family residence—the Rives place, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. She was stricken with apoplexy Sunday and was unconscious till she expired at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. She was the wife of Mr. Samuel_T. Williams, who in the life time of John R. Rives was the editor of the Globe. The’ deceased possessed many of the characteristics of her distinguished father, being of the most generous dixposition, with ahand ever ready to doa good act, in such a delicate manner az not to wound the feelings of those she aided. The funeral will take p! on Thursday, at 12:30 o'clock, at the Rives mansion. Friends can leave Washington by the 12:10 train and return from Rives station at 1:40. (ewe Playing Crap in the Cellar. In the Police Court yesterday Joseph Hagan, colored, was charged with keeping a gaming table at the corner of 5th and P streets. Hagan's place was raided about 9 o'clock Sat- urday night by Officers Barnes and Tram mell, when a number of colored boys were found playing crap and were arrested. Several wit- nesses testified that Hagan rents a cellar for selling oysters. The officers found 10cents and the dice on the floor, The court after admon- ishing Hagan as to the bos Be of allowing boys sey such game, imposed a fine of $15 or 30 ‘ys. Youthful Crap Players Sentenced. In the Police Court yesterday two colored boys—J. and E. Chase—were charged with an assault on Mr. Munroe, They were caught on Mr. Muaroe’s place playing crap and he told them to get off, taking « stick, and the former struck Mr. Munroe with a stone. The first named was sentenced to jail for two months and the other released on personal bonds, ——. Says He Will Never Live With His W ife In the divorce case of Frances M.

Mrs, Conklin, continuing her testimony in the Cronin case yesterday, said the man who came with the white horse for Dr. Cronin was of medium height, with a stubby beard of a few days’ growth on his fac small, soft hat, drawn down over his eyes, and a light or faded overcoat on. Her description tallied very closely with that given by former witnesses of the man who hired the white horse from Dinan. The witness then told the story of the pro- ceedings of the day following Doctor Cronin’s disappearance. Inthe morning she and her husband discovered the card which thé man had brought, that of O'Sullivan, the ice man, Mr. Conklin went to O’Sullivan’s place at once, and that afternoon a Pinkerton detective brought O'Suljivan down to the Conklin flat, Mrs. Conklin related her conversation with O'Sullivan. She told him, in substance, that she thought it very strange that a man who em- ployed only three men and who had never had an accident should employ a physician to be ready on call in case of such a happening; furthermore, it was strange that he should by hundreds of competent physicians who hved near by and go seven miles to arrange with Dr. Cronin and it was strangest of all that very soon thereafter a man shoul appear with his (O'Sul- livan’s) card and take the doctor away, pre- sumably to his death, Mrs. Conklin related how she subsequently identified Dinan’s white horse as the one draw- ing the buggy in which Dr. Cronin was driven to his death. She was then cross-examined at great length by Mr. Forrest, but her testimony was not shaken. Miss Sarah McNearny, who was in Dr. Cro- nin’s reception room when the man came for him with the white horse, described that indi- vidual as appearing very nervous and with a piercing disconcerting stare,which he fixed upon the witness, Her description of the man, the color of his moustache, of his coat, &c., accorded closely with that given by Mr. Conk- lin, BOY & pe fe ES HOPE ge EH AKRLTHG fer pices, ‘cannot be sold in competition the kinds, and in with the multitude of low-test, short-weisrht phosphate powder.
