This happened near 2d and N streets southeast. On cross-examination Bradley said be had been appointed February 7 last, that he had | served in the army a little over a month and was now about twenty-four years old. Murphy offered to show him the book and then com- menced swearing. Ouicer Tilling testified that he heard of the fight, and ran down there and pulled Murphy off Bradley. He resisted, aud in the melee he struck Bradley and the baton was jerked away from him, he defendant testified that Bradley came to tl tore, called him ous and struck him in the face and knocked him down and they then clinched and Bradley’s brother interfefed. When the other offic came up Bradley got Ovlicer Tilling’s club and struck witness twice, | eutting his head, which had been stitched by the doctor. He denied that he struck the officer or scratched him till after he had been attacked. Bradley said: “I didn’t make my case today, but I will make one now.” Aneighbor and several young women cor- roborated Murphy's statement. The trial was not concluded and was adjourned till today. sce treabernitioncn “A PARTHIAN ARROW.” Testimony of Ex-Lieut. Arnold and Other Witnesses in the Guy Trial. After Tug Sran’s report of the trial of Lieut. Henry P. Barney testified to serving eighteen mouths in Lieut, Guy's precinct. While there he knew of the existence of policy shops in the precinct, but never reported them because they were so notorious that he thought every one knew it. Witness testified that Guy had never given him orders M@garding thom. It was common talk among the men that it was no use doing their duty, watching the policy shops, when it was evident from what they saw that the policymen were being protected by Lieut. Guy. In reply to the question of his personal feeling toward the lieutenant witness said he was not particularly friendly, But was not an enemy of the lieutenant. The witness testified to a little fuss between himself and Guy which resulted in his tranafer to the first precinct. He stated that the trouble all came from certain remarks which some one had told Lieut. Guy witness had made concern- ing the arrest of one Ena Johnson. whose house had been raided, to the effect that she would not be fined when taken to court by Lacy, one of the policy men, who promised to befriend herand produce her the next morning when court convened. He did not think she was fined, but he did know that when taken to the station she was made to leave £50 collateral and the same was subsequently reduced to #25, and that he heard Lacy demand that sum from her for lawyer's fees, when he (witness) could swear that there was no lawyer in the case, This, he said, was the cause of his transfer. Then came Private Treadwell. His te: mony, however, did not amount to much, as i ‘tated that it was generally understood Riley, one of the policy men in Lieut. precinct, was not to be interfered with. He stated, however, that he could not testify to anything which tended to show that Lieut. Guy ‘tid pet faithfully discharge his duties. Officer Frank Keuney vy corroborated what the previous witnesses had said concern- ing the notoriousness of the policy shops and stated that Guy appeared to be on friendly terms with the proprietors. i Sergeant Burgess came next and testified retty much in the same strain as those who fea preceded him. EX-LIEUT. ARNOLD'S TESTIMONY. “Call Lieut. Arnold,” said Mr. Hazelton. Some one in the audience corrected him and ex-Lieut. Richard Arnold came in and took a seat opposite Mr. Hazelton. After telling of his previous intimacy with Guy, witness said it was his belief that the gamblers on E street near the National Theater, better known as Rum Row, were being shielded by Guy. When asked how he came to that belief he stated that H. L. Atchison, a door- keeper at the White House, but formerly a member of the force, told him so. When asked to tell what he personally knew he said: “I met Lieut. Guy on the avenue—I cannot give any day or date—and he invited me into Harris & Shafer’s to see a watch he was going to buy. He went either to Mr. Shafer or Mr. Harrie—I think likely Mr. Shafer—and said something to him and he produced a gold watch. Lieut. Guy asked me what I thought of the watch and I told him I thought it was a very beautiful wateh. After looking at the watch I walked off. When he came out he had the watch in his possession and I have seen it on him several times since. I asked him what he had paid for it and he said $100. I asked him how he could afford such a watch. for it was more than I could do, and he said that Max Hilton gave it to him. LIEUT. GUY'S WATCH. Upon being questioned witness stated that Hilton was a supposed backer of policy and that Lieut. Guy had told him that any time he (Guy) wanted from $100 to $500 Hilton would give it to him. Lieut. Guy being asked if he had a watch on at present said he had, and exhibited it. Wit- ness examined itand said he thought it was the identical one referred to. Witness then went on to describe how Lacy, the policy man, had come to him and stated that if he hoped to get a vindication and a re- appointment on the force he had better make up with Guy. he met Guy at the Washington Circle and, tak- ing him in his buggy. drove around the city and talked the matter over. Witness had gone to Guy because he understood that Major Moore was prejudiced against him, and that as Lieut. Guy was one of his favorites that preju- dice might be removed if he straightened mat ters with the defendant. The witness then went on at length referring to his trial four years ago. and ended by stating in reply to a uestion as to his present feelings toward the lefendant that he had denounced him time and agin ae ASCOUNDREL AND A PERJURER. The witness being dismissed stood for a mo- ment in a thoughtful attitude and then said that he had another statement to make, which was to the effect that ona number of occasions Guy had told him that he wouldn't hesitate to perjure himeclf, provided it would get him out of trouble. This statement was delivered in a tragic manner and when he had concluded Mr, McClaughton remarked: “That is a Parthian arrow. ‘The hearing then, at 8:45, adjourned to meet today at 1 o'clock. arias A Spiexpip Orronreusrrty to engage in busi- ness presents itself in the peremptory sale of drug sto®e, Sth and H streets northwest, to- morrow at 11 o'clock a.m. “ ———__— Steamer Jane Moszvex for Piney Point and Point Lookout, Saturday, July 26, at 11 p.m. @1 round trip. .

This morning, a few minutes past midnight, Policeman Sam Nelson of the first precinct dis- covered that Chas. C. Walter's carriage factory and repair shop, corner of 14th and D streets northwest, was on fire, and he turned in an alarm from box No. 157. In less than five minutes afterward the firemen were playing a stream upon the handsome brick structure, which was then a mass of flames. The building is four stories high and a pretty cupola adorned the corner of it. When the officer first saw the flames they were apparently on the second floor. Owing to the building containing such a large quantity of combustible material the flames spread rapidly and soon reached every floor above the first, There was a large eleva- tor shaft in the building, which assisted in carrying the flames to the upper stories. The firemen seeing that they could not save anything in the burning building above the first floor divided their attention between that and the adjacent property, and with consider- able effort they managed to prevent the flames from spreading. The cabs and wagons in the Union Transfer Company's stables adjoining were all removed during the fire, but the work proved to be unnecessary. ‘The cause of the fire isnot known. It was thought by some that the fire originated in the blacksmith shop, but the officer who discovered it is of the opinion that it originated on the second floor. ‘The building was entirely gutted, but it is not thought that much of the outer walls will have to be taken down. Mr. Walter arrived at the burning building about 3 o'clock and remained there until long after daybreak. He told a Sran reporter this morning that he was unable to give any esti- mate of the amount of damage or of the insur- ance on it. The insurance, he said, was very light and will nothing like cover half the amount of damage. The loss is estimated by others at from 225,000 to $40,000. THE OURTS, Equrry Covnt—Judge Hager.

Ex-Governor Sprague’s Sister-in-Law Contracts an Unlawful Union. Cleo Juliet Weed, sister of the second wife of ex-Governor Sprague, has furnished the ro- mance and sensation of the hour for the sum- mer people at Narragansett Pior and Newport. She is a very pretty woman of exquisite form. For several weeks she has been the guest of Governor Sprague at his palatial home at Can- onchet, During this time sho formed the ac- quaintance of Howard 8. Eaton of Lynn, Mass., who for six wecks has been attending to some electrical engineering at the electric light station. Tuesday Miss Weed left the famousCanonchet, and meeting Mr. Eaton entered his carriage and drove toward Kingston. Young Eaton had of Narragansett district and obtained a mar- riage license, in doing which he gave his age as twenty-one and his birthplace as Lynn, and her age as twenty-one and birthplace as Stamford, Conn, On arriving at Kingston Hill they called on Rev. Mr. Clark, the Baptist minister, and were specdily made man and wife. They returned to the pier, Mrs. Eaton going alone to her sister's house and informing Mrs. Sprague that she and Eaton had eloped and were mar- ried. Word was sent to Eaton to report at once at onchet, and there he was catechised by Governor Sprague, who knew that Cleo was not ofage and who doubted Eaton's statement as to his own age. The result of this interview was that Eaton was informed that his marriage was illegal, much as he had failed to com- ply with the law by neglecting to get atpermit trom Miss Weed’s t maar id from his own people, which could alone sanction the marriage in Rhode Island. Eaton applied at the clerk’s office for verifica- tion of Gov. Spreaue’s statement and went from there feeling much disappointed. Tho bride slept at Canonchet and the young hus- band at his boarding house. Sprague ob- jected to the marriage because he and his wife new little or nothing of Eaton’s antecedents. It is ascertained that he is a graduate of a tech- nical school and was form iy employed at the Thomsou-Houston Works in Lynn. His mother says he lacks a few weeks of twenty-one years, Gov. Sprague is to have the marriage annulled on account of its illegahty. Koyal Academy. From the London Daily News.

Merriam was renominated yesterday by the republican state convention, receiving 350 votes out of 458 cast. State Audi- tor Braden was supported for governor by the Hennepin county (Minneapolis) delegation, which was hostile to Merriam for the sole rea- son that he is a citizen of St. Paul, Braden re- ceived enough votes from other parts of the state to bring his total up to 34. Knute Nel got 74 votes, The Scandinavian delegation made strenuous efforts in behalf of Nelson, but his record of having voted for the Mills bill when he was a member of Congress seriously weakened his hold upon the republicans of the state. G. F. Ives was nominated for lieutenant governor and F. B. Brown for secretary of state, and Joseph Bobleter was renominated for state treasurer. The convention was thoi oughly harmonious. Lieut. Gov. Rice was acknowledged to be an impartial chairman, and his presence of mind and judicial temperament kept the convention machinery well oiled and ranning smoothly. ‘The platform delares that, keeping the re- quirements of the government in view, our tariff laws should be so adjusted as to best pro- tect our American industries and bear fairly and equitably on all sections and interests of the country. It cordially approves of the pol- icy recommended by Mr. Biaine of such reci- procity treaties with the a of Southern and Central America as will open closer com- mercial relations between the Northe: Southern Americas. ~—ee-—____ Private Balloon Parties, Marine Railway Com against the steamer Mattano of Washington. © Witt Frank Hume Accept ax INDEPENDENT Nomrvation.—The letter of Hon.

Marrens.—The criticisms on the public school system of the District and of our own suburban school facilities made in the citizens’ meeting Wednesday night have waked up the natives, A new school house and other blessings are expected soon. Nothing was said in the meeting to the discredit of Dr. Witmer, the present trustee of the sixth school division, except that he lives at St. Elizabeth Hospital, where “they build us upanoble wall to keep the vulgar out” after the vesper hour, so that he is not 40 comeatable as some one else might be. Itseems not to be known to some of our peorls that the trustee is expected to visit or eep an oversight of the schools of the en- tire county and gets nothing for his trouble. The need of more school room 1s imperative, and it was expected the new $25,000 addition would be ready for use by the Ist of January next, but as the appropriation is not yet avail- able it 1s now feared another school year will be well spent before the addition can be occu- pied, Asto music and drawing itis asserted that they have been as thoroughly and faith- fully taught here as in any of the Washington schools. Prof. Joseph H. Daniel, assistea by Miss Julia Stromberger, supervised the mu- sical instruction, and Prot.
