Later—A judicial bomb shell has been ex- ploded in the battle ground of the base ball combatants in Cincinnati, and there will be no send of discussion as to the nature and extent of the wounds inflicted. Judge Bates of the common pleas court today, upon application of the association club, has enjoined the league from paying Al John- son the draft of $26,000 given him for his interest in the Cincinnati franchise. Among the earliest theories as to the effect of this decision is one that it will enable the asso- ciation to obtain an order for a receiver for the Cincinnati club, with a sale of ite effects so that they can purchase the grounds now claimed by the league club. ee ey LOOKS LIKE CLEARING.

The adoption of the proposed scale would result in all-nround increase of 10 ae cent. | in my pay roll and, basing my calculations on last years’ business, that would mean at least ‘€4,000 cash. That amount cannot be spared. Competition in the printing business is very keen and while we now pay higher wages than do the peitting offices in Baltimore, Richmond, Philadelphia and New York we have to com- pete directly with them. A great deal of work oes out of the city now—more, I xm sure,than from any other considerable center of popula- tion in the country_—and if this new scale went into effect there would be but little left to do.

ARRESTED FOR MURDER, Mary Braxton in Custody, Charged With Causing the Death of Catherine Watkins. Mary Braxton, a colored servant, was locked up at the sixth precinct police station this afternoon, charged with the murder of another colored servant named Catherine Watkins. The case presents some peculiar features, as Mary has been twico before the Police Court and acquitted of a charge of asmult growing out of what has terminated in the other woman's yee Watkins died at her home Wednes- day hight and all day yesterday the police were on the lookout for Mary Braxton, but she was not arrested until this afternoon. ‘The injury that caused death was inflicted on the 14th of February.

The quarrel ended ina fight, and Mary, {ti chatged, struck Catherine on the head With a stick. MARY ARRESTED, BUT RELEASED.

She was released on €20 collateral, and two days later, when the case was called in ARGUMENT A® TO THREATS. ‘The Disttict Attorney Contends That Such ‘Not Admissible, the argument against admitting testimony os | been submitted to indicate that the ac-| cused was assaulted or was in apperent imminent danger at the time of the collision and argued that therefore the testimony as to threats could not be admitted. He quoted the Wiggins caso in the Sapreme Court (98. ),*e comet his proposition. He are in Pi Hi : before testimony as to threats could be submitted {t must be shown that the prisoner wns in imminent danger at the time | Of the shooting. “If every word which ‘Witness | Stillman testified to were true, he anid, that | did not establish that the — accused | Was justified in the shooting. He quoted a | authority sixty-one American decisions to #us- in the contention that mere threata, however violent, would not justify homicide. ’Ho cited other authorities on this point. He qnoved from a decision of Chief Justice Ruffin to the | effect that killing was not justified by the mere belief on the part of the slayer that the man slain intended to kill him unless the lat- ter appeared to be in a position to carry out that intention; that the conjecture that the man might be armed and might intend to kill would not justify the other in ktiling him, Mr. Cole argued that the defense must show that there is adoubt as to who was the ag- gressor before threats could be proven. There must be shown, he said, Some overt act indica tive of an intention to carry out threats before the threats might be proven in evidence. The District attorney declared that if Mr. Kincaid feit himscif to be in danger there were sons thers to whom he conld have appealed For help. Mr. Brown was right at Ritenid's tide, he deciared, growing warmest aud de- clamatory. Kincaid could have reached ont his hand and touched Mr. Brown. Mr. Grosvenor remarked that Mr. Brown said he did not see Kincaid when he was on the stairs. But if Kincaid did the shooting, Mr. Cole declared, the two must have been there at | the sane tine. The lawyers for the defense remarked nt this point that if the evidence was to be discussed, if the caze was to be tried, the defense would Feply to these arguments. r. Cole said the care was being tried. TRE COURT'S CORRECTION. “The case is not being tried,” said the court. “You would take the case from the jury and submit it to the judge,” remarked Mr. Gros- venor to the district attorney. ‘The district at- torney signified that he could. The judge mid that this could be done in be- half of the accused, but not against him. The district attorney clored his argument with a declaration that the defense, hnd not | shown that Mr. Kineaid was in any danger at the time of the shooting. ‘MR. GROSVENOR'S REPLY TO MR. COLE. Mr. Grosvenor opened for the defense in support of the right of the defense to prove threats. — NO EGG-RO! G MONDAY. The White House Grounds Would Be Too Damp —Next Saturday Suggested. The continued rain and snow have rendered | the White House grounds #o soft that it has been practically decided that it wonld be very | unwise to open the gatexon Monday to the | egg rollers, who would not orly rain the lawn, but would ron great ricks of catching heavy colds. The sun could hardly get in enough shining tomorrow | to dry the grounds sufticiently to permit a con- tinuance of the custom, and even if the snow should cease now and the long-hidden soil get a chance, there is not time left before Mon- day to do much good. It hes been suggested that the children might be allowed to use the grounds for their great annual ogg picnic next Saturday, and this plan will prob- ably be brought to’ tie notice of the ident. In that event, however, the Marine Band could not do ite share of the entertainment, as on thet day it plays the first concert on its tour through the country at New Haven, ‘he Third Artillery might then be used. ilies DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

MARY AGAIN ARRESTED AND ACQUITED. ‘The friends of the injured woman were not satisfied with such an ending of th) case and Inter on another warrant was procured for the arrest of Mary. This warrant was served and © case was again called on the second day of this month. The only witness who appeared was Lucy Bushrod and on her testimony Mary was acquitted of the charge of assault. CATHERINE’S DPATE. No more attention was made to the matter until yesterday morning, when Lieut. Vernon of the fourth precinct received a note from Dr. Martin giving information of Catherine's death.
