Avrxaspuia, Sept. 9.—At 1040 this morning the whistles of Portner's brewery blew an alarm, the five bells joined their clangor, and with the exclamation “Portuer’s brewery is on fire!” half Alexandria poured out Washing- ton, St. Asaph and Pitt streets toward the scene of the conflagration: for black smoke ascended above the roof of Portner's bottling house, on the east side of St. Asaph street, opposite the main brewery building, and the tlames curled over the roofs of the THE BLOOD.

He did not remember ‘tut he may have said on such a trivial matter. The figure of Hains was outlined against the white background of “the sail’ so clenriy-as he leaned forward to shoot down at his friend and the picture of the shooting was so vividly impressed upon witness’ memory that a small matter like the color of a man’s belt had nat- urally esenped him. In stepping forward to fire the two shots Hains, who had been abaft the sail, was brought opposite th8 wail and his figuro was sharply outlined against the white canvar. ‘Mr. Evans said the canoe was ubout forty feot tothe rightof aline drawn at right angles to the shore at the point where he war seated in his dory. Ho recognized both of the young men when he first saw them. Had aslight acquaint- auce with Hapnegan and had noticed him in swimming at noon on the day of the shooting. On being axked by Mr. Shillington Mr. Evans said he did not Know who. was speaking when he heard the words “I don't care f0 long as we are inside. Mr. Evans said thet his sou, who had lefthim when he reached the dory, returned just after he saw Hannegan place his hands upon the washboard and Araw his head over the side of the boat after he had fullen back. Did not know where his son was during the interval. Hannegan took one stroke certainly with his oar aud possibly two after the shooting. ‘There may have been more words spoken than those witness had reported, but he did not hen any more. Wituess was at the supper table when the gan for retreat was fired, and in » spirit of play witness threw up his hands eaying, “1 am shot.” He did this partly to allay the fears of Lis family, who thought that something really sertous had occurred, while he himself thought it was simply @ practical joke on the part of Unins and Hannegan, perpetrated by them for the cake of attracting attention. NOT MUCH OF A §TOuM. Further examined, Mr. Evans eaid the storm | had been brewing all the day, but when it broke did not amount to much. Asked whether the wind came with the storm, witness said that the wind was the storm, for there was only a slight sprinkling of rain. ’ The shooting in the boat did not arouse enough intorest in his mind for him to ask Hains as he passed the house what had taken place in the boat, for the reason that he did-not think anything’ serious had occurred. RELATIONS WITH MAINS BROKEN OFF.

Hains was a | Visitor at his house as the guest of his family, but of late years all such relations had been | broken off. | On redirect examination by Mr. Montague Mr. Evans was asked why the relations between Hains and witness’ family had boen broken off. ‘MR. HANNEGAN. Judge Goode bes age on the ground that this | was wandering into too wide a domain, but if | | it was entered the defense would not shirk the | issue. Tt would not be fair to allow Comman- | der Evans to explain the estrangement between himself and the prisoner withont allowing the defense to bring in their witnesses to give their side of the quarrel between the two. It was fficient for the jury to know that witness’ relations toward the prisoner were unfriendly without being called upon to investigate # pri- vate quarrel between a witness for the com- monwealth and the prisoner at the bar. Judge Gunter decided that the matter could throw no light upon the guilt or innocence of the prisoner and the question was overruled. Commander Evans said that his feelings toward the prisoner had not affected his testi- mony in the slightest and if it could have done #0 would have colored his story in favor of the defendant and not agaiust him: This closed the examination of Commander Evans. It had lasted for about two hours. "DR. PEEK DESCRIBES THE WOUNDS. Dr. Peek, who conducted the post mortem examination, testified to the nature of the wounds on the body. One ball struck the right srmat the elbow. The arm must have been hanging down to have received such a wound. ‘The other ball entered the breast and pene- trated the side of the heart. This was the wound that caused death. A man with such a wound might have lived three or four minutes. On cross-examination Dr. Peek said that the wound in the elbow could not have been inflicted while thoarmewas drawn up at the finish of a COL. NELSON LISTENS. stroke with an oar. It might have been in- flicted if the arm was straight, as at the be- ginning of the stroke. ‘The arm could not have been bent at anything like a right angle. ‘Mr. Shillington attempted to show that the wound might have been inflicted while the arm Was raised in the act of striking a blow, but the doctor suid that to have inflicted a wound like that while the arm was bent at a right angle the ball must have come from directly above if the arm was raised above the shoulder to strike. Hannegan had a broad arm, a stout chest and altogether the physique of a more than usually well-developed college athlete. On redirect examination Dr. Peek said that the wounds were gunshot wounds. Senator Voorhees, taking a cane in his hands, gave the motions of uw mun rowing, and Dr. Peek said the wound could have been made while the arm was extended. Mr. Shillington, taking the cane and going through the motion of a man raising a stick or oar for the purpose of striking a blow, asked the witness whether the wound might have been received while the arm was in that posi- tion. Dr. Peek said it might have been if the weapon had been sufficiently elevated. In his opinion as a medical man he would say that the wound in the chest was the first one received. The body had been washed when he first saw it and so he could not tell whether or not blood had flowed from the wound in the elbow. This closed his testimony. ADJOURNED UNTIL THIS MORNING. (It was now 6 o'clock, and Mr. Shillington suggested that it was a good time to adjourn, as another witness might carry them on for an hour longer. Judge Gunter {s evidently not a dilatory judge, for he finally agreed:to the adjournment only on the condition that the counsel would be on hand promptly at 9 o'clock this morning. ‘This seemed decidedly early for Mr. Lipscomb end Mr. Shillington, the two Washington law- yers, and on their urgent request the hour for convening the court was put off until 9:30. Col. Bird Tells His Story. The second day of the Hains murder trial began at the Hampton court house this morn- ing at 9:30 o'clock with the hearing already in quite an advanced stage.

Tony Hains is going through with his trying ordeal with all the covlnest and nervo that his bearing since the time of the shoot- ing would have led one to expect. He listens attentively to everything that in snid and frequently turns to say n few words in an undertone to the members of his family, who are seated around him, or to his counsel, yet tomcasual observer he does not «ppeat to be worried at all over the progress of the trial, and if one-quarter of the storice that are told of him here and at the Hygein be true it would seem as though he was not very much interested in what the outcome may be. COL. BIRD ON THE BTAND. Col. Charles Bird, from the fort, was the first witness placed upon the stand today. He isa handsome, soldierly looking man, and told the JUDGE GOODE AND JOS. SHILLINGTON (DEFENSE). story of what he aw on the fatal evening of June 12in a clearand concisomanner. Hishouse is situated on the beach between the fort and the residence of Commander Evans, and in full view of the spot where tho shooting occurred. In answer to questions from Commonwealt! Attorney Montague Mr. Bird said he was a resident of the port, and was standing on his porch between 6:30 und 7 o'clock on the even- ing of June 12. He noticed the aterm arising and saw off the jetty a canoo with two men in it, One was sculling and one rowing. Witness looked toward the storm cloud that Was approuching, and as he did so he heard a pistol shot and looking toward the canoe he saw on puff of smoke. He immediately head asccond shot and sawa second puif utcke wucceetio of smoke. The shots were in 3 the man in the middle of the boat appeared to be rowing, but witness did not see the oar nor could he tell what was the attitude of the man in the stern. The man in the middle of the boat fell back, but later raised himself above the side of the bout and shouted, though his words were not distinguishable where Bird stood. ‘The latter said be did recognize either man in the boat nor did he know who they wero until later. His atton- tion was riveted upon the man who had fallen into the boat and he did not notice the other man particularly. Witness went into house and was sitting at tho wi dow a little while later when he no- ticed young Hains walking past in front of his house toward the hotel. He wis going at an ordinary pace and did not seem to be disturbed nor excited in any way. knew witness and also where ho lived, but did not stop to say anything about the shooting. WHERE THE CANOE WAS. On cross-examination by Mr. Shillington Col. Bird said that the canoe was from 150 to 200 fect from the shore and in the neighborhood of 500 feet from the porch on which he was tanding. He did not know what happened in the boat for about a minute before the first shot was fired, for he was looking at the storm cloud at the time. It may not have been a minute; certainly not more and probably a ‘good deal less. ‘The man in the stern was standing, but Col. Bird THE FINST JUROR. said he could not ray that he actually caw him doing anything but sculling. He suw the boat caught in the tide that was moving toward the capes at the time, and thought it was rather a serious matter for the boat with only one man in it at work. It wae calm at the time. There wasno breeze and the two sails that were sot were hanging idly. On redirect he said the sail_appenred to him to be directly fore and aft. If the boom was longer than at the end of the canoe the sail must have been hanging on one side or the other to-have made it possible for the man in the stern to have been sculling. He did not know how long the boom was, COL. BIRD DEMONSTRATE. Upon a suggestion from Senator Voorhees Col. Bird illustrated to the jury by glancing around the room from the stove to a window how long it probably took for him to look away from the boat toward the storm cloud and back again. ‘This was in- troduced for the purpose of proving that the witness’ eye was not off the boat for any time like « minute and that there was not time for anything of importance to have happened in the boat between the moment of his looking away from it and the time he heard the report of the firs: pistol shot. Col. Bird said he did not wish to go on record as saying that it wasa minute. It was proba- bly only the briefest interval of time. He did not watch the boat for more than a few minutes after it headed for the ripraps after the shooting, as he turned to go into the house then and could not say what had happened later in the even- ing. This closed the examination of Col. Bird, Mich lasted less “than three-quarters of an jour. AN ILL JUROR CAUSES A RECESS. At this point a recess was taken on account of the illness of one of the jurors. Mr. Wise, who was not present yesterday, filled in the hour's interval by reading over the stenographie report of yesterday's proceedings. It is probable that he will make one of the addreswes for the defense and it is rumored here today that the closing address for tho commonwealth will be made by Senator Voorhees, Mr. Montague making the opening speech to the jury. APTER THE RECESS. Capt. John Gray was called by the common- wealth, as its first* witness, after recess. He testified that he resides in Washing- ton and was captain of a barge for the past fifteen years. This barge was at the light house wharf at Fort Monroe on the evening of June 12. He saw a sail boat cutting around the first jetty with two men, one sculling and one man rowing. Later he heard two shots coming from the direction of the boat, which was about 100 feet distant from him. When he heard the shots he looked around and saw one man standing in the stern a the other man dropping backward with one arm over the gunwale of the boat. He was on the starboard eide of the boat. Witness saw no oar trailing, but the man in the stern had anoar when hetirsteawhim. ‘The boat was coming along outside the barge. He paid no attention to the canoe prior to the shooting, but the man sculling was standing in the stern. The man rowing was sitting aft of the mast and the sail was a few feet on side. After the second shot witness around. He was making a line fast at the time of the first shot, but ng. for help and Lincoln Smith, the mate of started to go out in a small boat, but he would not let him go, the the canoe were fooling. He saw the man who was sculling go Ha Hie 3 Hains | that she must have been about shore. There was no aj tween the two shots an around he saw no oar, but if ad been an oaron the port side and trailing in the water he could not have seen it if it had been there 300 feet from time be- mn he looked standing in e Lincoln Smith was looking in the direction of the boat and before the shots were Smith called his attention to the 00, twice telling him that there was a ‘scrap™ in the boat and for him to look around, but he was busy with the line at the time aid not look until after the shooting. Witness heard the man who was shot call out: “Ob, ob, ‘bring a small boat, I am shot.” He dip not ‘hear the wounded’ man shout: “Help, help, this man has shot me.” Ho was nearer the’ canoe than any one on shore could- have and if the wounded man had’ made any outcry he would have heard him. There was a stronj ebb tide setting aroumd the jetty, which would have carried the boat out without assistance. ‘The tide was so strong that it would have been | almost impossible for one man to stem it with simply a seulling paddle. Witness owned # share in tke barge which had been used to freight from Washington {8 the engineer department at Fort Monroe. He was assigned to Col. Zane, he thought, at the fort, and did not know that Col. Hains was in charge of all the engineering work at the fort, never spoke to Tony Hains in his life and had no animus for or against the defen dant. ——_ HOUKS OF LABOR, Important Action Taken by the British ‘Trades Unionists. Newcastix, Sept. 9.—The trades union con- gress resumed its deliberations today. The proceedings up to the present have disclosed that among tho’ new trades unions and newer members of the old trades unioss there is a predominance of feeling which shows that they are deeply imbued with so- cislism and kindred doctrines. Tillett, Burns and other leaders are opposed to the old unionists led by Mr. Thomas Burt, M.P., president of the present congress, and by Mr. Chas. Fenwick, member of parliament for the Wansbeck division of Northumberland, who, like Mr. Burt, is the son of a worki collier and hns worked in coal mines himself, and other members of parliament who are leaders of the labor forces. ‘The first test of the strength of these two parties was in the vote taken yesterday upon the question of an imternational eight-hour law, although this vote, taken on the system of & proportional vote money on Monday, that the unions represented at the congress should ay a tax of £1 per 1,000 members efore they were allowed to__ vote, & proposition strongly opposed by the London trades unions, gave the new union men a deci- e victory. "And it should be ndded_if there had been a show of hands their majority would been greater. The new men thereupon red that all subsequent voting should be byshow of hands. The delegates representing the northern miners’ trade unions led the opposition to the proposition to place the congress on record as being in favor of an international eight-hour jaw. They contended that a universal law fix- uniform hours of work would seriously injure the workmen outside of certain favored districts. Delegate Knight, representing | boiler makers’ union, declared that he could see in foreign governments’ interference in labor problems the reason why it is proposed to ask the Britieh government to regulate the hours of labor in Great Britain. This, accord- ing to the speaker, was to go back a hundred years, At the resumption of business today, by a Vote of 242 to 136, a motion to the effect that a bill reducing or fixing the hours of lubor ought to be of a permissive or optional eharacter was carried after considerable discussion. arise itis MASSACHUSETTS PROMIBITIONISTS, A Large Attendance at the Convention at Worcester. Worcester, Mass., Sept. 9.—The prohibition state convention met at 10:30 this morning in Mechanics’ Hall. There was a good attendance. W. H. Partridge was chosen temporary chair- man and delivered an addross full of hopeful- ness, which was received with applause. E. T. Stevens was made temporary secretary. TRE PLATFORM. The following is the substance of the plat- form: The prohibitionists of Massachusetts in annual convention assembled reverently ac- knowledge their accountability to Almighty God and to their fellow citizens for the proper exercise of the elective franchise and declare their faith and conviction of political duty as hereinafter set forth. The platform next describes the drink evil and deciares that its suppression is the first duty of government. “Good men should unite to check the conspiracy of the liquor dealers for the promotion of their iniquitous traffic. License high or low ia nant with death and an agreement with hell. The partnership between the govern- ment and the rum power must be dissolved; it is inconsistent to strike at a lottery and to license saloons. Ali revenue from vice is ab- horrent. Both the cld parties in Maseachusctts have shown their favor to the liquor trafic by licensing it. The attention of the supporters of missions is called to the fact that Boston loads in the expoytation of rum to Africa, and it would be wiser to stop this tide of death at its source than struggle with its desolating flood there. The State department is charged with Leeoming the agents in foreign lands for the beer lord of this country and is denounced for refusing to unite with other nations for the suppression of slave and rum traftic. The fact is deplored that the President finds five kinds of wine necessary for his ofticial banquets and that the Vice President applies for a liquor license. ‘the fuilure of Congress to interfere with the rum trattic is deplored.

In response to their advertisement the Com- missioners this afternoon gave a hearing to those persons interested in tho widening of the roadway of U street between Mth and 16th streets. At present, Col. Robert explained, the road- way 1s but thiriy-two feet wide and the propo- sition under consideration is to widen it to fifty-five feet. From the builuing line on the north side tothe building line on the scu:h side the street was ninety feet wide. Mr, 8. H. Robinson explained that if the street was widened, as contemplated, the pari ing in front of their houses would be totally destroyed and it would depreciate the value of their Houses at least 1,000 each. “These thirty-two feet stree's must be widened,” said Col. Robert. “Congress author- izes it, and we must look out for the future of Washington.” Mr. KM. Cousar argued that there was no need of widening the street, as it was not a thoroughfare and never would be. ‘The public, he said, don't need it It’s the railroad which runs along there that is after them. ‘The citizens are unitedly opposed to it. and he thought their interests should be con: sidered. Besides this, if the street was wid- ened, as contemplated, all of the trees would be destroyed.
