A Coroner's Jury Investigate the Cireum- stances Which Led to It. TESTIMONY OF THOSE WHO WERE PRESENT AXD SAW THE DIPFICULTY—MARY BRAXTON DENIES ‘THAT SHE STRUCK THE DECEASED, BUT THE VERDICT I8 AGAINST HER. “Aunt” Kitty Watkins, the old colored woman who died from the effects of » blow on the head inflicted with s broomstick in the hands of a young colored woman named Mary Brax- ton. as published in Saturday's Stan, was buried from her late home on Ist street south- west yesterday afternoon. As published Satur- day, both women were employed in the laun- ary of the Howard House annex, on C street. Aunt Kitty was nearly sixty-five years old and Mary is not yet half that old. Shortly before the funeral the body of the old woman was viewed by a coroner's jury and an inquest was then held at the fonrth precinct station. The Prisoner was present at the investigation. ‘TESTIMONY AT THE INQUEST. Lonis Moore, a short colored man whose blue coat and brass buttons gave him the appearance of holding a position of authority of some kind, was the first witness called. His home is in Burrville, near Benning, but his occupation called him to the Howard House annex on the ay that the fatal injury was inflicted. “I was there,” he said, “whon Mary and Aunt Kitty had the trouble. They were having some words when I went in and Mary told Aunt Kitty to ‘shut up.’ At the same time Mary reached for the broom, but I didn’t think she would hit her, but she did.” He said that Mary struck Aunt Kitty on the head with the broomstick, and that when the latter fell to the floor Mary jumped on her with her feet and beat her in the face with her fist. “Did Aunt Kitty appear to be unconscious?” asked the coroner. “Did she?” echoed the witness. ‘I gucss she did, because we all thought she was dead for a long time, and I went upstairs for some cam- phor to bring her to.” sULtA stout colored woman who lives near the James creek canal, was also present when the difficully occurred. The quarrel started early in the morning, soon after they had com- menced their day's labor. Julia is a daughter of Aunt Kitty and she was so worked up over the affair that she was unable to remember what day the trouble happened. She heard Mary threaten to strike her (witness’) mother and when she turned saw Mary strike her. Her mother fell, apparently dead, and she ran to her to pick her up, but being’ unable to do so she called for help. Her mother remained seuseless fully three minutes. About twenty minutes afterward her mother attempted to work, but could not. She went to work the next day. but was so sick that she had to taken home. When her mother was on the floor Mary walked over her, but did not jump on her, 2# described by the preceding witness. When asked what the troubie was about wit- ness said that the day before the fatal blow was inflicted Mary threw a bucket of water on her mother and the latter spoke to her about it. Her mother said that she would have gotten out of the way if Mary had asked her, but Mary said, “I didn’t intend to ask you.” “That wasn't the first beginning of the trouble,” interrupted the prisoner, “and I never will forget what it was.” Mary was told to keep quiet, as she would be given ample opportunity to say what she de- sired. ‘DR. MARTIN'S EVIDENCE. Dr. Thomas Martin, who attended the de- ceased, said he found Aunt Kitty suffering from 8 wound on the head when he was called to see her, two days after the blow had been inflicted. He attended her from the 16th of February to the 25th of March. Paralysis supervened about three weeks after he was first called in. Witness described the condition of the patient up to the time shedied. He was of the opinion that death resulted from the wound. ANNIE MARTIN'S STORY. Acolored woman named Annie Martin, who was also employed where the difficulty took place, was called as a witness and she told of what happened. “T'm sorry to see Mary get herself into such & scrape,” she said, “but Mary Braxton cer- tainly did bring it all on hervelf. She said she as going to hit me once, but I kept her off and there wasn't anybody in the laundry who could do anything with her. Witness described the scene that followed the throwing of the water on Aunt Kitty and Mary then said that she was going to “bust her n.” Witness also saw the last of the diffi- eulty and said that Mary stamped on Aunt Kitty after she knocked her dow: ” inquired « “Are you a friend of Mar juror. “No, indeed, we ain't no friends,” replied Annie, “when she done tried to strike me with aflat iron once. That there Mary Braxton,” she added, “tis a bad and brazen woman, and I ain't got no use for her. She had better stayed out in the country where she came from, and then poor Aunt Kitty wouldn't be dead. Why, gentlemen,” said Annie, “when that good old Aunt Kitty was sick in her bed, Mary said she wished she had killed her and sent her to h—, where she was going, and that was a pill to swallow.” Did Aunt Kitty call her any names?” , indeed,” the replied, “Aunt Kitty cer- tainly was one good ‘old Indy und everbody liked her. When she died and Mr. Scott heard of it he stood and cried.” “You are excused,” said the coroner. “Thank you,” said Annie, and she added, “That woman certainly is a bad woman.” Deputy Coroner Schaeffer testified to the autopsy and said that death was caused from hemorrhage of the brain, the result of blow or THE PRISONER GIVES HER VERSION. The prisoner was told that she could make a statement if she desired to, though she was ad- vised that what she would say might be used against her. Mary, however, informed the jury that “de truth is de light” and therefore she was willing to stand by it She said that the trouble was caused by her telling about Aunt Kitty and her daughter putting victuals in their pockets. If they had eaten the victuals she would not have said anything, but she did | 81 not think it right for them to take the victuals away. Julia, she said, brought her mother down stairs and both of them quarreling with her. “i had the broom in my hand,” she said, “bat I didn’t use it. I pushed her away be- cause of abuse and she fell down.” Witness said she t that one woman at atime was enough to quarrel with another woman. ifI haven't told the truth,” said Mary, “I hope the Lord will never suffer wipus” tat "wil uot So you any good hove “But ‘not an} a lees see ontied ther ton md fact that attention to t the truth is the light and said: “When I get fo the end of the truth Tam willing to stand w. ‘She said that when the case was tried in the Police Court Aunt Kitty said she didn’t know whether she (Mary) struck her or not. After telling the Jury that Aunt Kitty and her daughter were not worth talking about she was taken back and placed in a cell. ‘THE VERDICT AGAINST MARY. ‘The jury discussed the testimony fora few minutes and returned a verdict holding Mary responsible for Aunt Kitty’s death and she was sent to jail to await the action of the grand ifee eet array By i A if iret f i f FR le i i f i THE LIVELIEST DAY 80 FAR. As the North Sligo Campaign Progresses It Grows in Bitterness. Yesterday was the liveliest day so far in the North Bligoelection campaign. By8 o'clock in the morning the streets were alive with people listening to the music of several bands. The Par- nell contingents, with their leader, were out by 10 o'clock, engaged in personal canvassing. In their zeal they even attempted to devote atten- tion to-Coney Island, in Sligo bay, although there are only twenty-five voters on the island. Parnell met with a hostile reception at Strand- hill, where he found it impossible to holds meeting owing to the piercing yells of bis op- ponents, and was finally compelled to retroat to Sligo. The bishop of tho diocese, together with the priests of the whole district, do- nounced Parnell to their congregation at mass in the morning. THREATENING DEMONSTRATIONS. Meanwhile the anti-Parnellites, Messrs. Sex- ton and Collery, Maurice Healy and Michael Davitt and their party, bent onan unfortu- nate attempt to carry the fight into the encmy’s country, started at 9 o'clock in the morning for the Tireragh district, addressing small gather- ings on their way till Terapleboy was reuched. Here hostile camps had been formed. The Parnellites maintained sullen silence, but their opponents with Finging cheers welcomed, the reinforcements. The Parnellites gathered on the brow of a hill, armed with blackthorns and other weapons, threatening to move toward their opponents, but the police interposed and with a line of bayonets awed the antagonists and the storm subsided amid muttered thrvate and curses. CARTHY MEN PELTED WITH STONES. All now moved in the direction of Dromo- tewest, where, after a similar scene, the Par- nellites pelted their opponents vigorously with stones until they were chased and clubbed by the police. Michael Davitt lod his adherents off, all ducking their heads, and some coverin themselves with rugs to avoid the fusilade stones. Mr. Pinkerton, member of parliament for Galway, had his head cut and several others wore injured. On trying to enter Easkey the anti-Parnellites found the road barred by formidable array of Parnellites, and on the ad- vice of the police they retrented in the direction of Sligo amid another shower of stones and other missiles. The party reached Sligo in the evening, where they addressed a large meeting. ‘They gave a detailed account of the day's hap- Ppenings and the treatment they had recoived, which they declared the Parnellite leaders or- ganized on the previous night in Sligo. They ull vowed vengeance. At the same tme they complimented the police upon the protection that had been afforded them. ‘Tho fusilade of stones continued until the party was balf a mile from Easkey. Acar with a couple of newspaper men fol- lowing 100 yards behind the Davitt party was attacked by Parnellitos and the occupants were thrown to the ground and were #o seri- ously burt that they were obliged to stop ata village to have their wounds dressed. learning who the wounded men were the assail- ants expressed contrition. COUNTER DISPLAYS AT SLIGO, Mr. Parnell made a triumphal entry into Sligo. He was escorted by fifty car loads of supporters from the rural districts, armed with blackthorns, He was received with jeers by the townspeople. Mr. Davitt and his sup- porters afterward ‘made a counter display. Three hundred police and a squadron of cay- alry were in readiness to prevent any collision between the opposing faction Atelegram from Ballina reports that Dr. Tanner was seriously assaulted by a hostile mob yesterday, being knocked down und dragged prostrate through the mud. DALTON APOLOGIZES TO HEALY. Michael O'Brien Dalton has written to Timo- thy Healy apologizing for the assault which he made on the latter at Cork on the 23 instant. Dalton denies that uny one had instigated the assault, and begs Mr. Healy to remember that he (the writer) had just been released from jail and was smarting under an unjust accusa- tion. ——____ +e —___ ANOTHER VESSEL ASHORE. Not in Immediate Danger—Investigating the Dictator Disaster. A Spanish steamer bound from Galveston, Tex., is ashore five miles south of Hatteras life- saving station. The vessel is lying easy, close to the beach. The captain and crew are on board and there is no present necessity for their leaving the ship. The engineer says the ship is tight and is in no immediate danger. There is strong probability that both vessel and cargo will be saved. ‘The name of the ves- sel is said to be the Cour Queen, but this is evi- dently a mistake. It is not known whether or not this is the cotton steamer before reported as ashore at Ocracoke inlet. ‘THE DICTATOR DISASTER. Liout. Walker of the United States life-sav- ing service arrived at the beach yesterday morning and is making a rigid investigation into the loss of lifein connection with the wreck of the bark Dictator Friday. There is a disposi- tion to censure the Seatack station life-saving crew for not attempting to launch the life boa as it was shown that even a smaller boat coul make the trip in safety, the bark’s dingey com- ing ashore without cxpsizing and brinj four men. ‘Two of these men after they otten ashore wanted to take the small boat ek for thelr comrades, but were not allowed to do #0. ‘Only two bodies of those lost on the Dictator have so far been recovered. The body of the first mate is thought to be lashed to the wreck and the body of the captain's wife is supposed to be under the wreck, as she was on it when the final crash came. ‘A patrol has been estab- lished on the beach to look out for the bodies as they come to the shore. Captain Jorgensen and the other survivors reached Norfolk yesterday. The crew will be forwarded to itimore, but the captain will remain until the body of his wife is recover When he will have it embelmed end coud ome. Lieut. Failing will investigate the wreck of the Strathairly. soo Shot by an Angered Husband. John Hayes of 1542 Dorrance street in Phila- delphia on Saturday shot and seriously wounded Andrew McFarland, who boarded with him and whom he caught in @ compromising position with his young wife. Hayes is a locomotive fireman. He returned home unexpectedly from work in the morning. The enraged husband grasped up MoFarland's ducking gun, which in a corner, and, placing the weapon al- movt against the latter's shoulder, pulled the igger. Tho large shot with which the gun was loaded tore a frightfal hole in McFarland’s shoulder. Mrs. Hayes ran screaming into the street in her night clothes. ‘The husband went at once to a station house and surrendered him- self. McFarland was taken toe hospital, where his arm was amputated at the shoulder. The physicians have some hope of saving his life. End of a Famous Divorce Case. The famous Sinclair divorce case has come to anend, when George Sinclair was refused a divorce. Dr. Smith of Cleveland,O.,was mixed up inthe case. Sinclair knocked Dr. Smith down on the street 07 to the Pensacola ir It a i il i I i REVOLT OF MINERS. Prospects of a General Strike in Pennsyl- vania on May 1. The discontont in Pennsylvania among the east and south Broad-Top district bituminous coal miners has developed into almost open re- bellion against the existing rate of payand hours of work. Contrary to the agreement at the Columbus convention, stipulating 50 cents per ton of 2,000 pounds, the miners in tho Huntingdon and the Clearfield regions areheld tom.ecale of 2,240 pounds per ton. The men have been working less than half time this winter, and a strong sentiment prevails in favor of indorsing the proposition of the Clearfield miners for a general strike on May 1. Repro- sentatives of the two regions are now in secret conference on the advisability of a general shut down. It TEE COKE REGION. The operators who are struggling to resume work on their coke plants in the Connelisviile region do not seem to have things their own way so much as first reports would indicate. Otticers of tho great Frick Company state that 500 men are at work in the region, exclusive of the non-union Rainey plants, while President Rae aays no more than 400 strikers have gone back. "Ax there are between 12,000 and 15,000 strikers the desertions are certainly not so re- markably large, considering that many are suffering greatly for the necessities of life. It ix said that but 20,000 relief money bas been distributed among the strikers. This is at the rate of but ‘per man, not to mention the rest of the family, and is wofuily insufficient. As the fight ix now for an eight-hour day, in addition to the other demands, their call for mncemade on the Knights of Labor and ican Federation of Labor will likely meet orable response from those parent o ganizations. ‘Two now plants were reported in ctive operation Saturday night, the Broadford and Trotter, of the H. C. Frick Company, mak- ing eleven in all. RUMORS OF TROOPS. Some excitement was caused Saturday by tho announcement that the state militia had becn deputized to guard the Morewood plant, but it was learned that the rumor was catised by a sheriff swearing in thirty members as deputios to himself. A striker, urmed with a double- barreled shotgun, cleared out the yards at Leisring No. 3 Saturday, causing a partial sus- pension. He then took to the woods, with a sheriff's posse at his heels, since which timo neither party has been heard from. A general mass meeting dat Scottdale gathered fuily 4,000 men to an open-air mecting Satur- day afternoon. Speeches in all sorts of tongues were made by the leaders, their langnage, how- ever, being even-tempered and confident. Res- olutions were unanimously passed to stay out until grass grows over the ovens unless their demands are conceded. The bitterest moment of this determined fight will occur this week, when every operator, whether independent or in the big combine, will make @ determined effort to start their works on the despised sliding-scale basis. With lated exceptions the strikers are peacefully inclined, but trouble will certainly ensue if the | 5 Inrge operators begin to import men, which they threaten todo unless the strikers return. ——$<eo______ BISMARCK’s BIRTHDAY. Its Seventy-Sixth Anniversary to Be Cele- |S: brated on Wednesday. ‘The candidate of the Freisinnige party for the reichstag in Geestemend, finding no support, has withdrawn, leaving the contest to Prince Bismarck and the socialist candidate. Nobody doubts that the prince will receive a great ma- jority. The warmth of his roception at Altona and the extent of the preparations throughout the country for the celebration of the seventy- sixth anniversary of his birthday, on Wednes- day, prove the unabated popularity of the prince. The committee in Berlin have ar- ranged for # torchlight procession, in which over 3,000 of the cx-chancellor’s adherents de- sire toappear. ‘The Society of German Indus- trials will present the prince with a silver table service of immense value, designed by the artist Heyden. The subscription for thia was 80 copious as to enable the committee to pur- chasg land adjoining Friedriehsruhe, which will be added to the prince's domain. With grow- ing doubts as to the emperor's callow wisdom being a poor substitute for the ex-chancellor's genius and experience, the national sentiment of Germany reawakens toward him. NO SECRET SERVICE FUND. A government bill, which is now in course of preparation for submission to the Russian land- tag, dealing with the Guelph fund, will bring into publicity the hidden history of Prince Bismarck’s disposal of large sums. If the Freis- innige party get a chance the whole secret of the payments to the press and police by Prince Bismarck’s agents, if they were drawn from the fund, will become a matter of public account. ry ‘The liberal papers are already trying to trace | 7 Ps -otsdan: dena the payments. ‘The Potsdamer Corresponi affirias that Horr Kraoger, chief of Prince Dis- marck’s secret police, received 50,000 marks from the fund. No one suggests that the prince used this money for other than political pur- eg, but the organ of Herr Richter,the liberal Reader, demands that the ex-chancellor be hold responsible, and be compelled to make restitu- tion for the 350,000 marks given Dr. von Boet- ticher and for other payments drawn from the fund, The Freisinnige Zeitung urges that a civil process be issued against Prince Bismarck. Outfits for Cruisers. A dispatch has been received at Portsmouth, NH, from Naval Constructor Wilson, in Wash- ington, stating that orders have been forwarded to that navy yard to commence on outtits con- sisting of spars, blocks, boate, furniture and cooperage for gun boats Nos. 5 and 6, now be- ing built at Bath, Me.; cruisers Nos. 9 and 10, now being built at Baltimore; cruiser No. 11, being built st Boston, and the new practice erniser. This is good news to the workmen, as nearly €100,000 will be spent on material. aes Se The Young Train Wrecker Committed. Edward Casperson, who confessed to placing obstructions on the Burlington and Mount Holly branch of the Pennsylvania rail- road for the purpose of wrecking & passenger train, has been com- mitted to the Burlington county jail at the in- stigation of Frank Elimaker, superintendent of the Amboy division of the ‘Pennsylvania rail- road, to await tho action of the Burlington county grand jury at the April term. pasta oe alae Peter, It is Thought, Hae Eloped.
