Since holding the inquest over the victims of the accident at Bonnings Saturday night Cor- oner Patterson has continued the investigation with such vigor that he has obtained two addi- tional witnesses to the wholesale slaughter. One of these witnesses was in the stage just be- fore the accident. He made his statement of the affair under oath, as did the other witness, and their evidence has been furnished to the district attorney, who will have the case pre- sented to the grand jury at an early day. The witness who was in the wagon stated that he got into the vehicle at the intersection of Boundary and H strectenortheast; that he was on hie way home to Bennings. The driver of the coach, Francis A. Godfrey, was perfectly sober, as were all the passengers. As tue vehi- cle neared the railroad track the express was | coming, but he and Godfrey were both of the opinion that the train was standing on the track and not moving. He was sitting on the seat with the driver at the time. When he dis- covered that the train was moving he told the driver, and then witness jumped. He thought that Godfrey could also have jumped, but he remained at his post in order TO SAVE THE LIVES OF HIS PASSENGERS, but it was too late. The crash came and the four men were whirled into eternity. The wit- ness then went on to flatly contradict the evi- dence given by Watchman Richardson, The latter, he said, was in the box and he (witness) called him out. Witness rapped on the door three or four times before Richardson re- sponded. He then came out and asked witness what was the matter. Witness told him and he then asked witness to get his lamp for him, Witness said that he was sober on that occasion and that he had not drank anything since early that morning. THE OTHER WITNESS told substantially the same version of the af- fair. He said he was walking behind the wagon until he reached the blacksmith shop, which is not many yards from the tracks, There he stopped and waited for the train to pass, When the accident occurred Richard- son, the watchman, was notin sight, Witness went with the other man to the watch-box and rapped several times. When Richardson came out witness said: ‘‘There’s a whole lot of peo- i the train.” Richardson ed: Witness replied: ‘Don't ask me what train; I ought to ask you that.” FLATLY CONTRADICTING THE WATCHMAN. The coroner recalled the first witness, who was in the wagon, and called his attention to the evidence of Richardson given at the inquest, in which the watchman stated that some one whipped up the horse and said, “Let the s— of a b— go,” and that he (Richardson) was about to lower the gates and called to Godtrey to warn him of the danger. The witness swore that there was not a particle of truth in Rich- ardson’s statement. THE INJURED COLORED MAN, Brown, who was sent to the hospital, was also questioned by the coroner. He denied that he or any of the other men in the vehicle was in- toxicated. He said that he had taken one drink that day, and that he purchased a small flask of whisky to take home with bim. The doctors at the Lage deny the state- ment of theambulance driver that Brown was drunk, When he first arrived at the hospital he was chilled through from exposure and could scarcely speak. He was given a stimu- lant, and when he was.sufficiently warmed up he was perfectly sober. ‘The coroner also gave the district attorney the names of other persons whom he thinks may be able to give evidence if the case is pre- sented to the court, Reunion of District Veterans. Last evening at the residence of Capt. W. E. Dubant, No. 410 M street northwest, a number of the officers of the old first and second Dis- trict regiments held a meeting, the object be- ing to ultimately form an association to keep up the friendship of war times. There were present Messrs, Charles H. Sherwood, who with Capt. Dubant served in the Metropolitan Ritles; Walter Dodson. Watson Guards: W. W. ‘Mills, National Guard, and CO. F.

In the Police Court yesterday afternoon » colored girl was arraigned under the name of Frances Dudley, charged with having on Thurs- day last abandoned her six weeks old child by leaving it in the area way of house No. 1818 N street northwest, Officer Hanley testified to | the finding of the child and its transfer to St, Ann’sasylum. The girl said she had given the child to Lucy Smith to take care of; that she had been married, but did not live with her | husband, and that the father of the babe was a coachmap, Bhe further said that her object in getting some one to take care of the child was that she might go out inservice. The judge said that unfortunately the law did not reach the man, but this business of getting rid of off- spring should be checked. The father of the gurl was present, and in answer to the court éaid she had frjends in North Carolina to whom he would send her. the law provided for a punishment by fine not exceeding $250 or imprisonment not exceeding two years. If, however, her friends would see that she would get away from temptation he would impose a fine of $100 or six months aud suspend sentence. and her bonds were taken. phosipast oonedincntty Charged With Embezzlement in Texas. | Wm.

The Washington Society Enjoys a Ban-| Gov. Toole Sends in His Message, Ig- quet and Listens to Speeches. Around a table creaking with tempting viands, in the banquet hall of the “Shoreham,” last night sat the representative dental sur- geons of Washington—members of the Wash- ington dental society. The occasion was the tenth annual dinner of the society, and it brought together a jovial company. Previous to dinner an election of officers for the ensuing year was held, with the following result: Dr. H. B, Noble, president; Dr. E. R. Rust, vice president; Dr. O. D. Darrell, secretary; Dr. R. B. Donaldson, treasurer; Dr. Robert H. Gunnell, librarian; Dr. J, Hall Lewis, essayist. After the election of officers Dr. E.R. Rust read an interesting essay on “The cervical wall—approximal fillings and filling material.” The essay was loudly applauded. . Noble, when escorted to the chair by Dra, Smythe and Donaldson, thanked the society for the honor conferred ‘upon him, After a sumptuous din- Pe 2a Noble introduced the toastmaster, Dr. 8 THE SPEECHES, Dr. R. B. Donaldson responded to the toast, “The Washington city dental society,” in happy speech, giving in detail the history of the association from its birth, and telling of its many trials and tribulations,’ He spoke of the benefits to be derived from the association and asserted that association did away with pro- fessional jealousy. The toast ‘The National dental association” was responded to by Dr. H. B. Noble. He closed his remarks by saying: “There should be a national dental organizu- tion composed so as to include the talent and science of all local and state societies through the country, probably by limited delegation, this society to be in official connection or com- munication with the U.S. government and with foreign societies having the same end in view, and having its headquarters or secretary in this capital city, with its library, museum, &c., all of which the government would be glad to take charge of free of cost in the national or medi- eal museum, The profpesion is in need of offi- cial reliable statistics on dental hygiene and many other important matters that such a so- pd acting with the medical department could obtain,” The toast “Dental education” was responded to by Dr. L. C.F, Hugo. Dr. Wadswortn, Dr. Henry Tho1 m, Dr. Hall Lewis, Dr.,W. 8. Harban and Garnett Hill also spoke. NERD OF DENTAL LEGISLATION. “The need of dental legislation in the Dis- trict” was the subject to which Dr, Donnelly was called upon to speak. He said that he thought the progress made in the dental Reo fession demanded legislation, and referred to the fact thut the profession had legal status everywhere except in the District of Columbia and that Congress shouid legislate in such a manner as to protect the qi d practitioner from the quack, He suggested that represent- atives go before the dental societies, which convene next year, and juest them to pass resolutions to be submitted to Congress asking legislation for the dentwts of the District of Columbia. Dr. Gunnell also spoke. He was followed by Dr. Rich, whom the toastmaker introduced as aman who could ak of dentistry from its infancy. He gave his experience of the pro- gress of dentistry told some ludicrous reminiscences. Drs. Curtiss Smythe and Daniel McFarland also made speeches, Among those present were Drs, Donaldson, Noble, Eg- gleston, Davis, Darrell, Thompson, Munson, Lewis, — McFarland, Rich, Brown, Wads- worth, Hill, Finley, Latimer, Lee Harban, Welsh, W. 8.

Rumor That He Compromised With His English Creditors. From a New York Dispatch. It has not been published here that ex-Sena- tor Dorsey has settled the suit which an English firm brought against him to recover $140,000 This was the suit in which the Senator was brought before the court in contempt and was in danger of going to prison therefor for nut revealing his financial condition. The settle- ment is understood to have been made by a compromise by which Dorsey paid $40,000 in cash. His ability to pay that sum has caused some surprise hore, for although he was known to powsess property it was in such shape as to make it impossible to realige upon it in cash, Dorsey's career here has not been particu- larly successful from a business point of view. | He expected tu make a mint of money ont of the Gogebic mining property in Wisconsin, but the exposure of the limitation of that iron tield came too soon for him to realize. Then he or- ganized @ great meat company. at the head of which Warner Miller consented to place him- self, and it was understood that Dotsey’s ranch in New Mexico was to go in as part of the capi- tal.

Toole yesterday issued his mosnage to the legislature, much to the surprise of many, who thought he would wait until the legisia- ture was organized before making such a com- munication. He sent copies of it simultane- ously to the senate and the democratic branch of the lower house, completely ignoring the republican house. This, of course, was ex- pected, the governor being a democrat. The message was read in the senate, but, pending permanent organization, was laid on the table In the democratic house it was read and re- ferred to a special committee. The governor, in the message, takes occasion to place himself on record as not in the remotest degree desirous of exceeding his executive functions He calls upon democratic legislators to stand by their colors, and intimates that it were better that the present deadlock should continue until the legislative session lapsed than that any princi- Re. of free government should be imperilled, hile deploring the existence of dual houses and regretting the present complication, he calls upon the members to drop passion and partisan prejudice and obey the dictates of reason, But for this the situation remai The republicans. of course, will refuse to join the democratic house, and it is expected the latter will, ina day or two, declare vacant the seats of all republican representatives, and that the governor may be induced to call a special election to fill the vacancies so created, Both houses adjourned until today at noon. coe ~ MAD AT THE DOGS. Practical Extinction of the Canine Race in Pennsylvania Towns. The fever of excitement that has prevailed in Birdsboro’, Pa,, on account of the ravages of mad dogs has abated but a little. Such aslaugh- ter of canines probably never occurred before in any city, and everybody is as much afraid of a dog as if it were already afflicted with the rabies, Yesterday fifteen dogs were killed, thirty-one the day before and forty-six in the five days preceding. There is not a dog left in South Birdsboro’ and in Birdsboro’ proper the species is becoming rarer each day. Last Fri- day the Birdsboro’ town council met in special session and passed an ordinance prohibiting the presence of dogs upon the streets unless they were muzzled. High Constable Albright was authorized to capture and kill all un- muzzled dogs found on the public highway and to arrest their owners in default of the pay- ment of a $3 fine. All of the children bitten by Butcher Lebo's dog, which was the primal cause of the present war of extermination, were taken violently sick and thrown into high fevers. Their pres- ent condition, however, is pronounced satisfac- tory, but everybody in Cumru township and in Birdsboro’ awaits the result with intense anxiety. The panic created by these five cases occurring in one day was augmented twofold when it was learned on Thursday last that Jas, Wright of East Vincent township, over the border line in Chester county, had been at- tacked in the field by a large Irish setter that had gone mad, and that Geo. Brooke's big New- foundland dog at Birdsboro’ had likewise been bitten bya mad dog. Next day Sheriff Wm. Gallagher's hunting dog, in West Chester, went mad and bita half dozen other dogs. George Jack's coach dog at Greentree was one of these, and it in turn attacked the thirteen-year-oli niece of Mr. Jack and bit her severely in the face, The dog was at once killed and the girl placed under treatment by a physician of Potte- town. —-—___+e+______ THE VIRGINIA COLORED PEOPLE. A Conference Asks Congress for Laws and Money to Go West. A Richmond.special to the Baltimore Sun says that a conference of leading colored men of Virginia was held in Richmond last night to memorialize Congress to pass a national elec- tion law and to make an appropriation for locating the colored people on lands in the west. There were about one hundred and twenty-five leaders present, including the five colored members of the Virginia legislature— A. W. Harris of Dindwiddie; T. C. Corrigan, Newport News; Col. Jos. T. Wilson, editor of the Industrial Day, and W. W. Evans, editor of the Virginia Lancet, of Petersburg. The resolutions adopted say of the presiden- tial election of 1888 and the last state election: “They were characterized by fraud, reinforced by wholesale disfranchisement of colored men and denial to them of the right of suffrage | Sera them by the United States Consti- ation. This consisted of striking the colored republican voters’ names from the registration, | ened live men as being dead, intimidatin; y threats and discharging from’ work colore men who desired to vote the republican ticket and obstructing colored men by unnecessary challenging. ‘he public schools and churches were made the vehicles for the dissemination of democratic doctrines by indirectly coercing teachers into voting the democratic ticket or remaining away from the polls, We call upon the Fifty-first Congress to enactsome legislation for the remedying of these evils. We heartily recommend the passage of a national registra- tion and election law and an appropriation sufficient to allow to every colored person who so desires free transportation to the lands in the west. We discountenance African emigra- tion and recommend that every Afro-American remain in this land of his birth, the home of his fs Meee We indorse the Blair educa- tional bill as the most potent measure for the solving of the most momentous problems which agitate this section of the country.” A plan of organization was adopted creating an executive committee, which meets on the first Tuesday in February, and proposes for a thorough organization throughout the state. Acommittee of twenty-five was appointed to urge Congress to carry out the legislation asked for in these resolutions, — see The Bitter E id. From Puck.

Will, ‘ Mrs. Judge Clopton of Montgomery, Ala., called on Mrs. Jefferson Davis in New Orleans the day after the burial of her husband, In response to an inquiry Mrs, Davis said her hus- band was singularly reucent or indifferent in regard to the place of his burial. Being asked if she might not find in his papers some pre- ferred wish Mrs. Davis said: “No, 1 know his will—every clause—there is nothing.” Ailuding toher plans she said: “I loug to get to Beau- voir to get to work aud accomplish, if possibl in the spau of life allotted me, what 1 know Me Davis wished me to do, and you know, Mra, Clopton, that no other head or hand can do his work; that for forty yeurs I have been his amanuensis, and Lalone must handle his letter book and papers for future use if desired, and in discharge of this duty I may find my first relief from this great sorrow.” soe Eaten by Wild Animals. The mystery of the disappearance of Wz J. Longmeyer, one of the leading citizens of Knoxville, Teun,, bas been solved by the find- ing of his bones near Glenmary, in the Cum- berland mountains. The identification was made by his purse, which contained $16 in EXPECTING A NEW TRIAL. The Cronin Murderers Confident it Will be Granted Them. There was a sound of weeping in the visitors’ cage of the Chicago jail yesterday morning. The friends of the four men who were con- victed in Judge@cConnell’s court room called on them and deplored their fate. Mrs.Coughlin leaned against the iron bars and sobbed as though her heart would break. She kept her handkorchief to her eyes and wept while her tall husband whispered through the wire screen such words of comfort and consolation as he could command, O’Sullivan’s sister paid the iceman a visit and she wept quite asBitterly as Mrs. Coughlin over her brother's fate, She was accompanied by her husband, and here, as in the case of Coughlin and his wife, the person whom fate had struck the hardest was the one who was doing the comforting. Kunze’s sweetheart and a lady friend visited the German suspect, and Kunze was jocose and tried to cheer them up. Burke was all alone. No one called to see him and he did not seem to fell hurt at his isolation. The prisoners pl the sentence as lucky for them and have taken heart again an look forward with hope to the possibilities of a new trial. They will not be taken to Joliet until a motion for a new trial shall have been passed upon by the supreme court, and this process will consume a year or more. Judge Longenecker this morning had not sufficiently recovered from his disappointment at the verdict to be able to say how soon he would put on for trial the jury-bribing con- spiracy cases, Should the new trial be granted to the convicted men, he says he thinks he can hang them, but in view of the difficulty of se- curing a jury the authorities will resist the ap- plication when it ie argued January 13. Beggs, in discussing the case, said the evi- dence had convinced him that Coughlin and Burke were either guilty or they knew a good deal about the crime. O'Sullivan, he thought, was innocent. Detectives John 8, Tifft and M. J. Crowe and Patrolmaz Redmond McDonald, who testified in favor of Daniel Coughlin in the recent Cronin trial, yesterday received notices of dis- missal from the force for ‘conduct unbecom- ing an officer and neglect of duty.” “Thi only a beginning of removals,” said an official, ‘and from this time on you can look for the removal of Clan-na-Gael men and their sympathizers daily.” HOW TRE JURY DELIBERATED, States Attorney Longenecker after a confer ence with one of the Cronin jury, whose name he withholds, told how the verdict was reached. As surmised Juror John Culver, who spent much of his spare time during the long even- ings reading the Bible, was the influential tac- tor. The first incident in this connection oc- curred while the trial was in progress—the time when Mrs, Conklin testified. That even- ing Mr. Culver notified his fellow jurors that he solemnly believed she had committed per- ry. Later he thought Mrs, Hoertel was a jar and was of the opinion that Martinsen, the expressman, did not really know Burke, while the Carison’s were plainly telling falsehoods, To illustrate as to Expressman Martinsen, Mr. Culver told of a mistake made by the wife of his partner, who one day saw a man riding in a buggy whom she was sure was Mr. Culver, when in point of fact she was entirely mistaken. Mr. Culver, as the trial neared the end, seemed to see in nearly every witness for the state a vindictive or a purchased purjurer. He plainly hinted that it looked like a conspiracy on the state's part. The matter of having wit- nesses under charge of detectives was one of the things he thought looked bad. He was not sure Dr. Cronin ever went to the Carlson cot- tage, and when asked ‘‘How do you account for the bloody trunk?” said: “Why, for all we know, a dog may have been taken away in it.” The cause of Dr. Cronin’s death had not been proved, he contended, and he was impressed with the idea that Daniel Coughlin had a “good” face, ‘hen the time for balloting arrived Mr. Cul- ver voted for the aittal, of all the de- fendants. He steadfastly declared that Beggs, | particularly, he would not send to jail even for one day. The result was a long struggle and repeated bailots, ending in the compromise verdict announced. Farmer Pierson had voted steadily for the execution of all five defendants and was the last man to yield. It was he who was holding out toward the end, and not until an hour or so before the verdict reached the public did he give in to the entreaties of his comrades, The leading thought of the major- ity of the jurors other than Mr. Culver and Mr. Pierson seemed tobe to prevent a disagree- ment. They apparently believed that a mis- _ was what been aimed at by the de- fense, —— ee Deer on the Increase. From the New York Sun. It is estimated that in the last five years the number of deer in the Adirondack region has doubled. The estimate is considered by those familiar with the subject as a conservative one, and the good result is attributed to the protec- tion afforaed by the amended game laws as en- forced by the watchful care of the state game protectors, assisted by the efforts of the several sportsmen’s clubs in the localities where game sbonnda, Of late there has been some dis- cussion and not little misunderstanding over the question of the proper interpretation of the term “fawn,” a8 it appears in the game laws of the state. The law previous to two years ago contained a clause defining a fawn as a deer with a spotted coat. As it has been discovered that in some animals the “change of spots” occurs much earlier than in others the test was decided unreliable, and today the state game and fish commission construe all references to a fawn to mean a deer under eight months old. That is, a fawn born in the spring of any year would be a fawn until the succeed- ing January, Careful sportsmen acting in line with this construction consider 1t safest to kill only yearlings, The protectors in some dis- tricts have already collected fines from a num- ber of persons who have violated the law as thus construed. soe Victory for Mwanga. Advices from the interior of East Africa state that King Mwanga, who was driven from Uganda some months ago by a revolt headed by disaffected chiefs, has succeeded in recon- quering his kingdom.’ Uganda lies north and west of Luke Victoria Nyanza, and has popu- lation of 2,500,000. Mapoonda, the chief of the natives in the Shire river district, has accepted Portuguese ‘ignty. soe —_____ Bowman’s Slayer Out on Ball.
