DALTON NOT 4 CANDIDATE. Representative Brown of Indiana, one of Mr. Dalton’s most intimate friends, says that Mr. Dalton wili not be x candidate for the House clerkship. Indeed, he had never fully made up his mind to become a candidate. He bas extensive business interests in Indiana, which he could not well, under any circumstances, bandon, and was putin the position of being a vdidate more by his friends than by wny act or desire of his own. He was a popular post- master for the House of Representatives for several years aud it was but natural that the old members of Congress with whom he was so long associnted should have eo strong a de- sire that be should return to Washington. He had the earnest and cordial support of all the democratic members of Congress from Indi- ana, and they aii regvet that he has chosen the course in this matter he bas, tor they con- sidered that his chances for success were fully equal to those of any candidate, and with thei earnest efforts in his bebalf his nomination was more than probable.

He Recommends Farther Legislation Re- garding the Police Court. The Commissioners this morning received from the attorney for the District, Mr. Geor Hazelton, the annual report of the workings of his office during the past year. The report re- views the litigation settled during the yecr and also summarizes the eases pending. In relation to the Police Court the report says: “Since my last report was submitted for your consideration Congress has passed the act of March 3, 1891, vol. 26, page 484, defining the ju- risdiction of the Police Court of the District of Columbia. I think thatthe wisdom of this law has been successfully vindicated, during the past Year, and that the introduction of the jury tem ase part of the machinery of that’ court has proved of great advantage in the prompt and efficient enforcement of the District laws. ‘The records of that court show that during the period covered by this report that the pay- ment of fines imposed in District cases amounts to $34,837.20, being an increase of nearly 33,000 of cash received over the preceding year as reported to me by my assistant in charge of the business of that court. That the number of cases tried in that court for the violation of the laws and ordinances of the District during the yeer is 11,798. “To render the work of this important court more efficient Congress, in my judgment, should enact into law the bill entitled ‘For the Preservation gf the Public Peace,’ which was reported” favorably by the Senate committee on the District of Columbia, and which failed to. be passed by that body evidently for want of time, a bill which simpli- fies aud unifies the varions ordimnces of the District which fall under the title given to the bill and makes them applicable to the present: demands of the District, «l which was the subject of careful rev Wy this office in con- nection with Judge Miller of the Police Court ” ES MAMIE BISHOY’S DEATH.

When the opened at 10 o'clock this morning Mr. Cole begar the crose-examina- tion of Maggie Parkerson as to the condition of Mr. Le Coint on Friday night, but no new facts were bronght to light further than that cards and chips were on the table. MISS GRACE EATON FOR THE DEFENSE. The defense then recailed Miss Eaton and made her thoir witness. She was asked whether she was in Mr. Le Coint’s room on May 30, when he asked his wite to make a visit to the cemetery. She said ‘that she was, and that Le Coint asked her and Mrs. Le Coint to go to Balti- more, and that he then asked his wife to drive to Oak Hill, cd. “Was anything said about taking her there to plant her?” asked Mr. Thomax “Lobject," said Mr. Cole, but he was too late, for, notwithstanding his cantion to the witness before ihe question, she had aiready answered in the negative. Miss Eaton was asked as to her having con- versed with some one out in the hall on the evening of the shooting, and whether it was with Mr. Le Coint that she had talked. “Cobject,” said Mr. Cole, but he was once more too late, for this very’ willing witne in her negative just the same. Judge Br took the pretty blonde art student sever task for her overzeatourness and told her that she had alveady been cautioned often enough. A few minutes later, however, she transgressed agnin over a quesiion of trivial importance. THE BLONDE LECTURED ny THE JUDGE. “Idon't want to be severe with a woman, Miss Eaton,” said Judge Bradley, “but unless you are more careful I shall have to impose some penalty on you.” The witness exctised herself and her sice got almost as red as the silk scart that peeped ont above her stylish drab covert cout. “Do you recognize this latch key?” said Mr. Thomas. The witness did. * ou give it to Frost that night?” Said the pretty witness, as on his fect to protest answering too quickly and saying too much. Af this point there was quite a sharp pasuige- at-arms between Mr. Thomas and Mr. Cole, while Miss Exton wiped uway her tears with & Little pocket handkerchief. Lx COINT TESTIFIFS IN IS OWN BEHALF. The defendant, George Le Coint, was then placed upon the stand. He said he was about twenty-eight years of age and had been mar- ried for six years. About a week prior to the 30th of May he had made arrangements with Mr. Puller of the Richmond and Danville road togoto Richmond on that day. Mr Puller was'to furnish the passesand at Mrs. Le Coint’s | suggestion sue was to go along Withess testitied ua to the ride he took on the night of the 29th when Loveless drove him. He went to his brother-in-law’s and tried to borrow a pistol to take on the excursion to itichmond, He had been playing the races and drinking all day, so that in the evening he was feeling pretty liveiy. Le Coint’s account of the purchase of the pistol given on the stand today tallied very well with that already given by the cab driver, and he also identified the pisiol as the ong he bought. DENIES HAVING ASSAULTED HIS WIFE. Witness was asked as to whether he had made any assault on his wife on the Wednesday evening preceding the shooting and denied that he made any trouble _ It was his wife who raised the fuss. “His wife became enraged be- ro when w Miss Fiddler had called when she was ont he had invited her to come again. Mra Le Coint pulled off her boot and threw it at him. As for himself he had never raised bis hand against his wite in his life, save only to grasp her by the wrist to prevent her from do- Miss Eaton was in the room at the time of the trouble. Le Coint said that he had known ‘Frost for about three months, and up to the night of the shooting regarded him as one of his best friends, ‘Hid you up to that time had any reason to suspect ihat your wife and Frost were on terms of undue intin ” was a question ysked by Mr. Thomas, ‘The government objected on the ground that the question presumed a state of things that had uot been proved, and even if it had was of no material importance to the case at issue. Judge Lradiey sustained the objection, and the defense added another to their long list of ex- ceptions. HIS ACTIONS ON DECORATION DAY. Le Coint then went on to describe his actions | on Decoration day. He asked his wife to go to Baltimore and then to go driving. She de- clined both invitations. He lay down on a lounge and in afew minutes Frost came in, after knocking, and seemed very much embar- rasged at finding witness in the room. Witnesg said that he asked his wife to go to Oak Hill to visit their babics' graves. This was the remark that Frost had twisted around into a statement that he would take his wife to the cemetery \d plant her there. Witness described his going to the station with Frost with the intention of going to Balti- more. When he got on the train and found all the other men with their sweethearts or wives he got disgusted with the idea of going to Balti- more alone, and decided to go over to Jackson City and play the races, He came back about 4:30 and met Misx Eaton by accident, as she had described. He dined alone between 6 and To'clock and then walked up and down Penn- sylvania avenue. Later in the evening he went upand watehed the people come out of Al- baugh's and afterward stayed at Russell's until that placed close. He then went home aud found his wife ina state of dishabille. He kissed her and then noticed that she had been smoking and drink- ing, She denied the cigarettes, but owned up to the wine. This an all the events of the day conspired to worry him a grent deal and he wanted to go ont and seek excitement asa re- lief to his mind and so took the poker chipsand rt. ‘THE IXCIDENT oF THE suOOTIXa. Le Coint then went on to deseribe his meet- ing with Oficer Oriani and the extaing-events up to about 2 o'clock. He then went -up to his own room and found that his wife was not there. He then stepped acrossinto Miss Eaton's room. ‘The light was dim. Miss Eaton was on the lounge.. She sprung up and raised the gas. ‘Witness saw the door into the rear room open and his wife emerging. She was undremed and was trying HIS CROSS-EXAMINATION. EFL, EGF rl 5 ul fu that it was no unusual thing for him to carry arevolver. He earried one habitually. He had pawned the one before this for €6, but be could not remember with what perticalar pawnbroker, for he had dealings with a great many of them. ‘ Par @5 FOR THE PISTOL. Witness stated that he paid $5 for the pistol with which he did the shooting. The cartridges went with the pistol and he loaded it in the pawnshop where he purchased it. Mr. Cole ired a number of q at the witness as to his reasons for ci a , and when they came down to the time wher Mrs. Le Coint found the pistol in nis pocket Le Coint gaused a ripple of laughter by remarking th it was bad babit on general principles for wife to go through her husband's te. id you intend to shoot your wife?” asked Mr. Thomas. “Thad no intention of doing her any barm stall,” answered the man on the stand. Witness said that he became Very nervous at what he saw and started to choke. He asked his wife to get him some water and she refused. As he started to pusin by her he noticed a white object in the rear room and began. to fire at it. He remembered nothing more from that time until he was arrested. * PLAYED CARDS ALL NIGHT THURSDAY. Witness admitted that he did not go to bed on Titursday night, but was playing cards at various card clubs around town. He did not g0 to the office the next day. On being pushed he said that of these club rooms two were on Pennsylvania avenue and one was on 13th street near Pennsylvania avenue. “He denied that he spent the whole or part of that night at Russell's house on 17th street below the avenue. He did not know of any such gambling house and when Capt. Cole told him that he had not said anything about a gambling house Le Coint denied that he spent the night at any house on Vith street. Friday morning he went to a shoe store opposite the Corcoran Art Gallery, but denied that there was a female went with him. At 12:20, after some more questions that de- veloped nothing startling, the court took a re- cess until 1 o'clock. THAT ACCIDENTAL MEETING WITH MISS EATOX. After the noon recess Le Coint was placed upon the stand again and his ¢rose-examination continued. Pefore recess he had denied that he spent Thursday night in a house on 17th street, and after recess Capt. Cole ebanged the question so as to make it a house below the avenue and in the vicinity of 17th street. He denied that also. After that the United stat attorney took him along the story of his actions on Decoration day from the time he returned ackson City up to the time of the shoot- ing especial stress upon his meeting iss Eaton and attempting to prove that it was not such un accidental meeting as both Le Coint and Grace had described. Before going to the 12th strect house the wit- noss said that he and his wife lived at the.house of his father-in-law. He denied that he had ever while'living there attempted td shoot his wife and as a result was put out of the house. He was asked whether it was not the truth that while living with his wife's family he had gone to Alexandris aud enguged himself to a girl there. He denied that also and went into full detail in describing a few encounters that he had had with his father-in-law. ‘This was about three years ago, be said. A SPRIES OF DENIALS. After his marriage they lived in New York forawhile. Mr. Cole asked him whether he had not compelled his wife to sign over her property to him, threatening to shoot her if she failed to de so. Le Coint denied this also, saying that he thought too much of his wife to do anything of that sort. A number of questions were asked as to his habits and his way of staying out all night end his reasons for so doing. Mr. Cole asked him if he used to carry a cane, and he said he did. In answer toa question from Mr. Cole he ad- mitted that he had lost cane eurly last spring and it was never found or returned to him. For an hour longer Mr. Cole kept prodding Le Coint with questions, but no unexpected or Sensational facts were brought out. ADMITS HAVING STAID OUT ALL NIGHT. On farther examination LeCoint said that he had never been in Miss Eaton’s room more than once or twice before the shooting and on both occasions in company with his wife. _ Witness after come urging remembered a time when his wife sat out on the stairs and wept because be did not come home all night. “He was playing cards with some friends and did “not go home the next morning either, but wert and had breakfast and then went to his office at the War Depart- ment. She did not tell him about it, however, until that night at dinner. ir. Thomas objected to the defendant being asked whether or not he knew the location of the wardrobe in Miss Eaton's back room. ‘The objection was overruled, Mr. Cole remark- ing that in the trial ofa man for murder or assault upon lis wife it was proper to prove that he had a paramour, and that was the ob- ject of the present examination. MAD WRITTEN To MISS EATON SINCE THE SHOOTING. Le Coint denied that he had spent the night in Miss Eaton's room. He admitted writing two or three letters to her since the shooting, but said that he had not received any answers from her in reply. Several letters were laced in evidence. To one of them Mr. omas raised objections, but they were over- roled and it was read by Mr. Clagett. It was from the jail. written to Mr. Jules Boeufve, the chancellor of the French legation, askin, him to see Mr. Frost and tell him that if he ani Mrs. Le Coint would drop the case he, Le Coint, would make a public apology, according to an outline he had furnished. The outline of an apology was also placed in evidence. He identified it as an apology that he had agreed to make on. condit t his ii and Frost would satisfactorily explain their position on the night of May 30. This explanation was never given, and the apology was consequently void. At 3 o'clock the counsel for the defense closed their case and the court adjourned until tomor- row morning ut 10 o'cloc! — FINAL [FUNERAL SERVICES. The Remains of Lord Lytton Committed to ‘Their Resting Place ut Knebworth. The final services over the remains of Lord Lytton, the British ambassador to France, were held yesterday at the family residence, Knebworth Park, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England; An immense number of relatives and friends of the late earl were pres- ent. Among the numerous members of the aristocracy who went to Knebworth Bark to pay their Inst token of respect to the dead were Lord Salisbury, the prime iinister, and Lady Salisbury. ‘The queen and the Prince of Wales sent representatives to attend the funeral. ‘The coffin was covered with the Union Jack and upon the cover were wreatlis that had been sent by the queen and by the Prince and Princess of Wales. The remains were interred in the family mausoleum. * DISCIPLINE SAVED THEM, _ ‘Two Hundred and Fifty Boys Marched With- out Panic From a Burning House. A large ,four-story building, known as the children’s department of the convent of Our Lady of Merey,at Newburgh, N. ¥., was de- stroyed by fire yesterday motning. A milkman making his morning rounds at daybreak saw flames pouring out of the east windows of the first story. There were 250 boys asleep on the third and fourth floora, The building is 100 feet long and 50 feet wide, with an annex. ‘The whole eastern end séemed to the milkman tobe afire. He alarmed the fourteen sisters that Leavens.
