Terms are made to suit almost any kind of a purchaser, although the price is half that of other registers. Chinese and Japanese wares are always fash- ionable and quite frequently are beautiful.

Six thousand bushels of potatoes of such choice varieties as the Beauty of Hebton, Bur- bank and Early Rose cannot long remain in stock in a city like this.

BaLzavy, 731 7th street northwest, is te | The government closed its case in the Ward ines, which can be | trial this morning, after completing the med- ical testimony regarding Adler's death. The testimony of Dr. Schaeffer, who made the au- topsy, was completed yesterday afternoon. One point made in his cross-examination by the de- fense was that the witness had examined the section of spinal cord taken from Adler with a low-power microscope and found that it did not appear to be injured. Dr. Wagner was then to the stand and his testimony was con- tinted today. ‘The defense in the opening to- day indicated three lin they would follow: First, that there was no intent on Ward's part to shoot Adler; second, that Adler's life might have been saved by proper treatment, the in- jury being not necessarily fatal, and, third, ‘that Ward was not in a rational condition at the time of the shooting. When the trial was resumed this morning Dr. Wagner, who testified yesterday afternoon to the facts concerniny ig Adler's injury and death as observed by him in his capacity of attending ubjec' phyrician and nurse, was s ved to further cross-cxamination by Mr. Coleman. Dr. Wagner said he saw the o ration performed. Dr. ‘Thompson performed it and tsed bone forceps.

Mr. Coleman procecded to read from news- Aiber 8 which the witness said were, reports made from time to time during on of the condition cf the sick man, ashe recollected them at the time, correct. The district attor- ney objected to the reading of these extracts to the jury, as the witness himself could give the Dent evidence of the condition of the patient. ‘The witness said that there wasa gradual failing in Adler's condition from the time of the shooting until he died. When Dr. Wagner closed his testimony the district attorney announced that that ended the government's testimony in chief. OPENING OF THE DEFENSE. Mr. Coleman then took his place before the jury and made the opening address for the de- fense. He said that when the defense has closed its case he was sure the jury would be convinced that Frank Ward never intended to shoot Maurice Adler any more than any of them. There were three defenses to the charge; either one alone, independently.would convince the jury that Ward had no intent to shoot Maur- ice Adler.

THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OBJECTS. As Mr. Coleman proceeded the district at- torney objected to having Mr. Coleman, in opening a case when he should confine himself to stating what the defense expected to prove, discussing and arguing the effect of dence already in. ‘Lhe court sustained this objection. THE COURSE OF THE SECOXD sHOT. Mr. Coleman, proceeding, said that in the iron pillar there were twelve flutings. He pro- posed to show that the bullet struck on the sixth fluting and that the mark on the pillar shown in the photograph submitted by the government was on the proposed to show that pistol ball was stil: on although it hud been painted over. taken an iron pillar like the one in ‘The testimony. now in may There was nu % Ward fired the first shot at the ‘The testimony of Newmyer and Gin- They rised ie evi- third fluting.

That would be demonstrated as certain a mathematical proposition. The next evidence would be to account for the firing of the pistol at all, tending back for weeks, months and years, showing the condition of Ward's mind. WARD'S MIND WAS UNBALANCED. They would show that some two years before he had been engaged in a most successful busi- ness, and was known widely for his enterprise t 1 und’ popularity. He had become a compara. | for sale and for an injunction. ‘They state that tively wealthy man.

They would show that he then imagined people ‘were following him to do him aninjury. They would show Ward tired this shot when he was actually suffering from insanity from delirium tremens. ‘The shot itsel? was fired as a mere piece of foolishness, of drunken insanity,with no intent to hit Adler, for Ward’s mind was then not in a condition to form an intent. HAVING THE PISTOL WAS AN ACCIDENT. ‘The evidence would show that Ward was kind hearted and of genial nature; that he had never been in the habit of carrying a pistol. ‘His having it at the time wasa mere accident. Mr. Frank H. Finley, a friend of his, had bor- rowed a rifle from the river. The box containing tained also this pi want that he hai that Ward had the weapor. ard to take with him down the rifle con- into his pocket. Thus it was an accident ADLER DID NOT HAVE FAIR TREATMENT. There would be another line of defense.

Witness was to get Ward to go to the hospital; Ward had dtinking very hard; Was very nervous and acting very queerly; Ward ‘Was not rational at all; he was nervous and ex- citable and rambling in his telk: his eyes were, as the witness expressed, “rather glary and wild.” ‘The witness described an occasion on the previous Saturday when Ward had acted in a very excitable manner, and another oc- casion at the Marble Saloon when Ward had acted, as the witness thought, in an irrational manner. CROSS-EXAMINED BY MR. CLAGETT. Mr. Finley was cross-examined by Mr. Clagett. Mr. Clagett asked why he had let Ward havé:the pistol and put it in his pocket if he was in the condition the witness described. The witness said it was Ward's @wn pistol. The witness had offered it first to the barkeeper, but Ward took it. He did not try to. indace him to take it out of his pocket. Ward lived next door, and said he would take it upstairs. taken the it and put it in his Mr. Clagett asked why, if he thought Ward was drinking too much, the witness made another bar an appointment to meet him in room, The witness said that be made the appoint- ment to suit the circumstances. Mr. Clagett asked if it was not Ward's habit to play practical jokes. ¢ witness said he had known Ward to do some very foolish acts. LIEUT. LUCIEN YOUNG, 0.8.5. The next witness called was Lient. Lucien Young of the navy. Mr. Coleman conducted the examination and proceeded so far as to show that he had, as instructor, had much ex- perience with firearms. He then suspended the examination and called Lewis Newm the proprietor of the Marblé Saloon, who sri he knew Lieut. Young and had shown him the Positions where the parties stood at the time of the shootin On ‘cross-examipation by Mr. Clagett, Mr. Newmyer anid this was about four weeks ago. He had pointed out the mark on the post to Lieut, Young. There were other marks on the post. He’ had. never said any- thing about the mark before the coroner's jury or before the graud jury. He did not think he was ever asked about it. When re-examined by Mr. Coleman the wit- ness said that he believed he had testified about this markat the time of the application for the i. EXPERIMENTS IN A MACHINE SHOP. Leut. Young was given a plat of the Marble Saloon. He testified to measurements he bal made there betweon the paints indicated to him by Newmyer ‘The listane from Ward’s ehoul- ler to the pillar was 5 feet 6 inches, from Ward to Newmver, 26 inches; and frum ‘he pillar to where Aller fell, 5 feet’8 inches, Th» witness said that after ‘sxamining the !ccations and making meastrements he mate experimen ‘vith n32-caliber pistol, like the one Ward used al ont the 7th of Pune taste He went toa machi ilar +xactly like th > setting up a pistol im a enppo and said the pixtol was ao fired ns to strike the | pillar in the sixth @tting so as to mal |Tike that on the sixth fluting of the Ta svery instance where they ’h fluting the ball ri:ocheted in the on of ths figure set up to correspond With the prt where Adler fell.

CAPT. JOHN MILLER TESTIFIES. Capt. John Miller, commission merchant, who was next called, testified that he had con- siderable experience with firearms asa mem- ber of rifle teams. He was tol and asked what in his opi effect of a shot from such a to strike the back of a man’s neck at a distance of ten feet. Mr. Miller said that it would go through # man’s neck. Mr. Coleman asked what the effect would be if the bullet should in its course strike the vertebra? Mr. C tt objected that Mr. Miller was not an expert in surgery. During the brief argument that followed Mr. Clagett urged that common experience showed them that sometimes a bullet might go through a man’s neck and sometimes it might not. ‘The witness was permitted to testify to his own experience. He said he thd fired a ball from such a pistol through a two-ineh scantling Bt a distance of ten paces. He gave also in- stances in his knowledge illustrating the eccen- tric courses taken by ricocheting balls.

Every effort is being made to complete the repairs to the vessels composing the squadron of evolution—the Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and Yorktown—by the middle of January, 80 that Admiral Walker may take them off for their mid-winter cruise. Their destination has not yet been decided upon, but the cruise will prob- ably be in the Gulf of Mexico or some other near waters suitable to the evolutions and ex- ercises that are to be the feature of the trip. Those movements will likely cover a period of at least a month and probably longer, and the destination of the squadron that ‘is a sub- ject that has not yet been considergd fully by ‘admiral or the Secretary.

Arrested in New York for His Assault on Mo- Coney in This City. Joe Fielden, the Englishman who has figured in this city for several years as a pugilist, was arrested in New York yesterday by two of In- spector Byrnes’ officers and he will be brought to this city. There is an indictment pending against him him here for assault and battery ‘with intent to kill, committed about a month ago. Detectives Horne and Mahon, who have been investigating the case, succeeded last week in locating Fielden in New York, where he was a member of the Muldoon company. THE ALLEGED MURDEROUS ASSAULT ‘was committed in Humphries’ saloon on 13th street. Henry McCeney, it appears, had re- ceived considerable money from an estate and Fielden tried to effect loan. The loan was refused and Fielden, it is charged, dealt Mc- Ceney a terrible blow on the left temple, inflict- ing an injury that neariy resulted in his death.
