There was nothing but a dry sab on the side of William Alexander's body when Deputy Coroner Schaeffer viewed the body at the morgue yesterday, but beneath that small scab there ras « hole through which a bullet from George Johnson's pistol bad passed. The bullet had passed through the liver and had also pene- trated one of the kidneys. The wound inflicted Was necessarily of a dangerous character. Dr. Schaeffer secured the bullet where it had lodged and it had not been flattened at all. Alexander, who was known to his companions as “Woolly,” lived three days after receiving the wound. GUS BROWS's STORY. Gus Brown, a young colored man who lives on Grant avenue near Sth street, was the first Witness called and he described the trouble that occurred Thursday night which resulted in the shooting of Alexander by Jobnson. itness said that he was with the deceased and Cornelius Burrill, and when passing through Moore's lane they stambied over Johnaon and Hattie Peel. Johnson got up and asked: “Who in the h—I are you foxing?” One of their number told him that they did not know he was there and they went on the way toward the city. They passed through Le Droit Park and went as far as 7th street and Florida avenue, when the prisoner drew his re- volver and shot der. When questioned by the coroner witness said they were on their way home from « garden ty on Koweroy street, He was asked why fe went aldhg Sfoore's lane, oat of his way, and he said that he was going home with Ale ander, because the latter had asked bim and Burrill to go with him. One of the jurors expressed surprised that the shooting did not occur on the lane where it is a lonesome place instead of at Florida ave- nue and 7th street, where the place is brightly lighted. CORNELIUS BURRILL’S TESTIMONY. Cornelius Burrill, eolored, also gave testi- mony asto Alexander stumbling over Johnson and Hattie Peel and to the language used by Johnson. Witness did not hear Johnson say anything before he did the shooting. He and Brown went part of the way home with Ale ander ar he thought the lutter, was afraid be- cause it was dark. He said that when Johnson fired the shot he ran and got on a cable car. Witness followed and got on the car to tell ® Policeman, but the conductor put him off. CONDUCTOR LYNN SAW THE FLASH. Conductor Joseph Lynn of « cable car testi- ficd that he saw the flash of the pistol. Jolm- son and a woman ran down toward the car and one of the men following him said: “Mister, catch that man: he shot somebody.” Witnens pretended he was going to catch the risoner, when the latter pulled @ pistol from Bin pocket and exid: «Don't you touch me.” you again if you follow me.” Johnson and the woman got on tho car and rode down as far as N street, when he (witness) called Officer Barnes’ attention to him and the latter arrested him. Policeman Barnes testified to the arrest and finding of the pistol on the prisoner. The lat- ter said he shot Alexander, whom he did not know, because the latter was stoning him. ‘There were three empty chambers in the weapow and three were loaded. ‘HATTIE PEEL'S VERSION. Hattie Peel, the colored girl about whom the shooting occurred, was next called. She lives on Wilson street, in the county, and was with George Johnson when he fired the fatal shot. Witness said she met George down the city that night and he started home with her. before reaching her house and while on Moore's I they met Alexander, Burrill and Brown. They spoke to her and Johnson and the latter told them that she (Hattie) was going to stay where she was. Cornelius Burrill, she said, told Johnson he would have tive minutes to get out of the camp. Alexaryler, she suid, asked John- son if he huda match, and he replied that be had not. Alexander said: “It’s wil right, and youcan have five minutes to get out of the camp.” Witness said that she started back with John- son because she feared he would get in trouble. The three men, she said, threw stones at them and followed them to the corner of Florida avenue and 7th street, where Burrill threw a stone at Johnson. The stone missed him and struck a house, and Johnson then tired. ‘The witucsses Brown and Burrill were re- called and were brought face to fece with the | girl, but the Iptter did not change her first story. Neither did the men. ‘THEME WAS LYING SOMEWHERE. Coroner Patterson told Hattie that there was some lying somewhere and Hattie said “the boys” lied. In answer to a question by a juror Hattie said that Alexander had a piece of brick in his hand when he was «hot. Voliceman McDonald testified to the identity of the weapon and said that Jobnson told him he shot Alexander in seif-dezeuse; that the boys were stoning him when he fired. hergt. Daley testified to statements made by Alexander and Johnson and Deputy Coroner Schaetier testified to the autopsy. ‘The siate- ment of the dying man was that he and his companions followed Hattie and George to 7th and Boundary, ue stated by Hattie. Witness said we searched the ground where the shoot ing occurred and found a piece of brick and a cobblestone. JOMNSON HELD RESPONSIELE. This closed the testimony and the jury re- turned a verdict holding the prisoner, George Jounson, responsible for the killing. poses telen este A Wanton Outrage. To the Editor of The Evenins Star ‘The hasty action of the Commissioners by which the tracks of the Washington and George- town street railroad are to be placed on the beautiful parking on Indiana avenue between New Jersey avenue and Ist street ought not to be passed over without protest. This arbitrary appropriation of ground, which has been set aside for many yearsas parking for private property, forms a dangerous precedent. Have not the private property owners thereby ac- quired vested rights which the law will protect? { uot no one can hereafter be sure that his property will not be injured at the dictation of ‘any street car company that may deem it nec- comry for ite interests to ena those of the uublic. bi ‘The proposed widening of the strect is en- tirely unnecessary. It involves the destraction of a row of beautiful, thrifty elm trees that are pride of the neighborhood. Strangers coming into the city will be impressed by a vast expanse of street without the relief now afforded to the eye by the fine shade trees that are to be destroyéd at the dictation of the strect railroad company. The owners of property on Capitol Hill ought not to quietly submit to this outrage. The property owners immediately concerned will be sustained by public sent ment in resis! utmost this aggression upon their rights Carrtor Hinz. =e ‘Mr. Justh’s Coal O11 Mr. E. 8.

IT A SHOOTING TOURNAMENT. Good Scores Made by Washington Marks- men Who Get a Number of Prizes. A shooting tournament was held yesterday at Tolchester Beach under the management of the Taltimore Gan Clab. It was a great success, but the Baltimore Club, which has had a long and unbroken series of victories, met its match in the Capital City Gun Club that went over from here and managed to tie the score in the team match. The scores made were all re- markably good. The shooting was at keystone targets from six traps under the rapid system. About 4,500 targets were shot at, and only a small per cent struck the ground before being broken. The program contained ten events, five of which were shot yesterday. Over €300 in cash and merchandise prizes were given, be- sides about $100 in sw ‘kes. Franklin of the Baltimore Ginn Club did the best shooting of the day, breaking 51 out of a possible 55. The fourth event was the most important one of the day and attracted the most inter- ested attention, as it was to decide the supe- riority of the clubs represented. It was for teams of ten men from each club at twenty-five singles. ‘The purse was €50in cash and the entrance free. The teams were as follows: From the Baltimore Club, two teams; from the Capital City Club of Washington and National Gun Club of Washington, one team each. Out of a possible 220 Haltimore Club's first team broke 206 und the Capital City Ciub 206, the Nationals 201 and Baltimore team, No. 19. ‘The individual scores were as foliows: Baltimore Gun Ciub, . captain—Cochran broke 3; Spikes, 18; Capron, 23. ill 18; Hall, 11 ond, 21, Cantler, 22.

A Proposed Tramway to Arlington—Discuss- ing the Improvement of Koad It is understood that a company is forming to purchase « portion of the old cars, railroad iron and horses of the Washington and George- town Railroad Company, which company is laying a cable road, and to build a road from Rosslyn, the Virginia end of the new iron free bridge, to Arlington cemetery. A committec meeting was held in the county last night to formulate a plan for building and improving county roads with broken stone and gravel, said plan to be ratified by a public meeting to be held at Waiker senool house on Friday night nextand then submitted to the board of supervisors of the county at their meeting to be held on the 27th instant. Mr. J. E. Clements advocated the purchase of a stone crusher that all loose stone and much of the solid rock, of which the count; wounds and is often an’ impediment to travel, might be crushed and made into excellent and perma- nent road beda. Mesure. A. P. Douglas and A. G. Hayes were in favor of broken stone, but thought the cost of a crusher would be too great. ‘They favored the contract system. Mr. Clements said a crusher could be pur- chased for 2600; that would cost the townships about #200 each, which he thought was buca trifle, when it was considered thut the pur- chase of a crusher would be the inauguration of a system of excellent roads. ‘The committee adjourned until Wednesday night. The county will have about £8,000 to spend on roads this year, and the people are becom- ing interested in ‘its expenditure. The reas sessment of lunds in Virginia takes place every five vears. The last assessment (i890) in Alea- andria county shows an advance of over £500,- 000, being the largest in proportion of all the counties in the state. oe ee Washingtonians at River Springs.

During his roll other rocks were disturbed and striking him on all sides made the descent exceedingly hurtful. Though no bones were broken, the led was greatly bruised and rendered unable to walk.

Barrrwons, July 19.—Senator Gorman’s de- not to take charge of the national campaign was arrived at after mature delibera- tion and after a consultation with other party leaders in this state. An alliance craze bas taken possession of some of the lower counties, and it will require the master hand of the Maryland Senator to prevent the democratic ship of state from colliding with the rudderless craft set ailoat by Jerry Simpson's disciples. The present condition of affairs is due to the work of aspirants for office, who, with a view of booming their candidacy, have influenced the Sranger element Now that they find the movement has gotten beyond their eontrol, they call on the leader who has so often helped them out of trouble to come again to the res- cue. The appeal comes not only from the reg- tlar democracy, but from the so-called inde- pendents or magwumps, who realize the dan- jer of a Farmers’ Alliance government, and for once wili work hand in hand with the men they have fought, and under the leadership of the man they have vilified and abused. They appreciate the fact that in conducting the eau- paign Senator Gorman is not helping bimeelf in the least; on the contrary, he may incur the enmity of’ people who have hitherto been ainong his stanchest Friends for all democrats, regardless of other affiliations, have openly de- clared that no matter what should be the result Mr. Gorman is to succeed himself as United States Senator. So far as Senator Gorman is concerned, therefore, he is safe enough, but the trouble is feared in tho selection of the late Senator Wil- ‘ou's successor, The latter must come from the eastern shore, aud in this section the Farmer's Alliauce movement is <trongest, Should, therefore, the grangers succced in oar- Tyitig @ majority of the eastern shore counties, anu even conceding that all of these shall be democrats, the uame they may present might not be acceptable to the city and western shore men who sre opposed to alliance principles, and then there would be trouble, It isto avert just such @ condition of affairs that Senator Gorman is now calied upon. His task is not an easy one, bus so implicit is the confidence re- posed in him that no fears are entertained as to the resuit, The state convention will be held on July 30, when candidaces tor governor, controller, at- torney general and « clerk of the court of ‘ap- pouls are to be selected. The secretary of state, state treasurer, police commissioners and other officers will be chosen by the legislature. Accordiug to his promise Senator Gorman has kept hancs off, bis uuluence not having been exerted in bealf of any candidate. Frank Lrewn, late postmaster of Baltimore, appears to hnve made the stvongest figt for governor, his candidacy Loing indorsed by neerly evory in the etate. ‘The eicy, it is well known, preerred ex-alayor James ‘Hodgor, but te countics bave « mujority and so Mr. Brown will be the democratic sizndurd bearer. Spen- cer Joues of Montgomery or Luther Gadd of Caroline will be controller, State Sen- ator Jolin P. Poe will be attorney general and Frank Ford of St. Mury’s will probably be clerk of the court of uppeala. The republicans ure altogether at xea. They have uot yer arranged for a convention, and will tind it extremely ditticult to get candidates. ne MRS. BARNABY'S MURDER.

No decision has been rendered in their cases. Gen. O'Beirne yester- day continued the taking of affidavits from the immigrants.
