Reports of the non-removal of garbage by |toward the deceased, but, remarked Mr ‘Taggart, there was no evidence of {fear in that remark on the part of | her. T. Taggart opened for the government. MR. TAGGART FOR THE PROSECUTION. Mr. Taggart said that the case should be de- cided solely upon the evidence and in the light of the law. The statement of the defendant that he killed Kramer because he believed him- self to be in danger of his life or great bodily harm, was ridiculed in view of the physical condition of both men. The defendant by his conduct on the stand and during the trial had shown himself to be a cool, determined man, devoid of fear. He was an unusual man who had violated law and right. Arnold's conduct just preceding the shooting was not that of a man peaceably inclined, desirous of avoiding any and all difficulty with the man whom he had wronged. Arnold's testimony should be care- fully watched and whenever his evidence con- ficted with that of the prosecution it should be remembered whut he had at stake in testify- ing. THE SHOOTING DESCRIFED. ‘Mr. Taggart then minutely described the shooting as testified to by the witnesses for the | government. Kramer, while passing quietly by, said Mr. Taggart, was accosted by Arnold, and although Kramer passed on, saying that he wished to have nothing to do with the defendant, Arnold persisted in his remarks, and when Kramer turned back when in the middle of 5th street Arnold ad- vanced toward him from the sidewalk and fired both shots before they got together. Arnold stood on that strest corner tuat evening with a revolver in his pocket, while | not en a penknife was ' found | on Kreamer’s body. Arnold's remark when he and Kramer were pulled apart by the by- standers, “Take him; I'm done with him,” was not only significant, but also disclosed the de- fendant's unlawful purpose. The remark at- tributed to Arnold by one of the witnesses, “You come across the street,” was not only in the nature of a threat or challenge, but it also closely showed that Arnold did not attempt to avoid trouble. On the other hand, Kramer. a small. insignificant man, clearly showed by his actions just preceding the hoot- ing that he had but one desire, and that was to have nothing to do with the man who a mo- ment later shot him to death. ARNOLD UNWORTHY OF BELIEF. Arnold was referred to by Mr. Taggart asa man of more than average intelligence, a col- lege professor and a most creditable student of | law, who bad, while in jai, given himself up| entirely to the task of altering the testimony of others in his own behalf. Such a man, urged Mr. Taggart, especially when testifying to save bis own life or liberty, was worthy of no belief. On the stand he showed him-eif to be a cool, calm and deliberate man, conscious of every word he uttered. ‘Trans- planting that man to the scene and time of the sheoting, was there any reason for believing that he was not sucha man at that time and that he was unable to distinguish between real and false fear? Surely not, said Mr. Taggart. Only once did the cool, calm man on the wit- ness stand lose that calmness and self-control, and that was when the damaging papers writ ten by him while in jail were sprung upon him. Then so complete a collapse followed, due to the deadly effect upon hix case which he real- ized was caused by the introduction of those | papers, that he was compelled to abruptly | leave the stand and thereby collect himself. ARNOLD NOT AFRAID OF KRAMER. Arnold was not only not afraid of the insig- nificant little tailor, said Mr. had indeed threatened to kill Kramer before that fatal meeting at Sth and F streets. The | two men had met bet . and nothing | in Kramer's conduct iad oceurred to show in the slightest manner that he intended to do Arnold any violence. Keferring to Arnold's statement that as soon as he learned that Laure Kramer was a married woman be ceased his illicit relations with her, it wns ridiculed by Mr. Taggart and the jury asked if they could believe that Ar- noid, himself a married man. then suddenly changed from a passionate, dent lover to a mere professional adviser. nart end intelligent as the desendant was, the | pecker did not for an instant imagine that he | could thus throw dust into their eyes. The | truth was, said Mr. Taggart, that Arnold con- | tinued his illeit relations with Mra. Kramer | three weeks after his alleged discover that she was # married woman. Con- trasting Arnold and Kramer, Mr. Tag- gart said that the one great difference between the two men was that Kramer sought to redress his real or aileged wrongs in the courts, while Arnold stuck « pistol in his pocket din that hostile manner proceeded to sit in judgment on his fellow man. Without conciuding his argument Mr. Tag- gart gave way (at 12:40) for recess. CONTEMPT NoT FEAR. Resuming his argument after recess, Mr. ‘Taggart said that Arnold had no feeling toward Kramer but that of contempt. It was absurd to believe that he | feared the man he killed) ‘The jury | should not forget that it had been testified that old bad said to Kramer one night a short time previous to the shooting, ‘You dirty cur, | if you follow me, Ill kill you. That was on the occasion when Kramer discovered Arnold on the street in company with Mrs. Kramer. That remark showed the feeling of the defendant Arnold. Kramer said to the policeman whom Arnold called to escort Mr. Kramer heme: She is my wife, and that man is living with Arnold reptied “You are a liar.”” “Bat,” asked Mr. Taggart, “who was a liar? Arnold, who knew what Kramer said, was too true, or the wronged husba TT WAS ANOTHER HILL. Mr. Wm. W.

The Pians for the Bathing Beach as Out- lined by Superintendent Stevens. Superintendent Stevens of the bathing beach today addressed letter to the Commissioners relative to the bathing beach and the proper steps to be taken to prepare the beach for use and to maintain it this season. In order that the greatest public benefit may be derived from the beach under existing con- ditions Mr. Stevens recommends that the wharves be repaired on their present frames and the houses be repaired; that a mn of the fence now on the beach shore be set up south of the colored wharf on the edge or crown of the steep de- scent known to exist about midway the wharf; that the north boundary fence of the beach be repaired; that « floating fence be arranged to extend from the north wharf nearly to that boundary fence and be provided with a latch at one exd; that a capable boatman and swimmer be kept in the boat on the water whenever there are bathers | outside the fence in bathing hou that the diving stand be repaired. There being no funds at the disposal of the Commis- siouers for this purpose, he recommends that voluntary contributions be invited from the | public. “That Police Oficer David Cotter be detailed to duty at the beach,from 9 a.m. to the closing hour, from May 1 to October 1, 1893, and that he be reappointed assistant su- perintendent of the beach without extra. pay. ‘hat another policeman be detailed to take quite a number of laboring men go every evening and bathe naked after | the houses are closed, and ___thero | men are generally orderly, yet their presence is an excuse for others to linger later and many locks were broken by such and some batlfing appliauces stolen. ‘That the beack and houses be opened to the public as soon as the water is warm enough and be kept open until cool weather for the free use of all orderly persons who provide themselves with —_ neat and respectable bathing suite, all bathing to be done entirely at each person's own risk and without recourse upon the Commissioners or the keepers of the beach for any accident; that the superintendent shall employ keepers to | take proper care of all the premises in bathing hours, and that for remuneration he may rent bathing suits to all who cail for them. ‘The Commissioners approved the above recommendations. oat Nee DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. HE WAS NOT AFRAID. Mr. C. M. Emmons, one of the medical stu- dents at the Washington Asylum, in obedience tothe order of the Commissioners, appeared before the board this afternoon to answer to the charges that he refused to attend a caso of diphtheria at the Washington Asylum Hospital, He said that his refusal was due to the fact that he was attending his medical lectures, and it was aguinst the rules of the col- lege to attend the lectures if he was exposed to diphtheria. It was not because he was afraid of catching the disease that he demurred to ti order. ‘The Commissioners have sent for visiting physician and will look further into the matter. | MISCELLANEOUS, The Commissioners have ordered the eree- tion of public gas lamps on the north side and two on the south side of L street northeast be- | tween 6th and 7th streets as soon as sidewalks are laid upon that street. — ALEXANDRIA. THE PASSING AWAY OF USEFUL CITIZENS. ‘The Society of Friends was at one time one of the largest and most influential of the Christian denominations in Alexandria, and the con- gregation at the meeting house on Wolfe and St. Asaph streets is said to have been one of the most intellectual and refined in the cit ‘The plain garments of the worshippers, always neat, were often costly, for many of Alexandria's best people were Friends. They farnished mayors and councilmen, presidents of banks and leading physicians, ‘teachers and merchants. ‘They were foremost in pubiic en- terprises; forwarded the turnpikes, aud used their best endeavors in the construction of more modern methods. A Friend was the chief promoter of the Alexandria national canal and Aqueduct across the Potomac. A friend lifted the first spadeful of earth from the first of Al- exandria’s internal improvements, A. friend designed and carried to completion the Alexan- dria water works. A friend conducted te leading school, and a “Friend” was the leading magistrate. ‘The throngs which gath- ered on the “Quaker meeting house green” every Sunday was representative of Alex- andvia at its best A half century has changed all this. There is no longer a friend's meeting here and if there be friend resident im Alexandrian he goes out of town to worship. The meeting house was recently pulled down, and now even Quaker Chureh Green is destroyed, for an ener- getic citizen, Mr. Robert Elliott, is putting up Scere a row of handsome frame dwellings. ‘The very ground on which the old meeting house stood is now devoted to other uses and the old church will soon fade from memory. ‘THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

Compar- ing the time made in yesterday's rave from Putney to Mortake (43/ miles) with the best time made over the New London course (4 miles) it will be found that the English crews this year are “‘cracker-jacks,” and yet one | astute New York Athletic Club aquatic critic declares that on s question of form Yale should | defeat Oxford. The fact is that Harvard and Yale have been exclusive so Jong that they have become narrow and uncritical in their judg- ment.

The Oxford and Cambridge race is of added interest to Americans this vear by reasor of the prospective appearance of those famous and famously trained crews in America, and against our petted Harvard or Yale. So the comparison of time made at home and abroad becomes a matter of importance. In the four-mile race Harvard and Yale have never equaled the time made by Oxford last year. In 1888 the distance was covered in 20.10. ‘The records of the winning colleges in America since 1876 are given below, and may be compared with the English time above: KILLEN SIGNS WITH PITTSBURG. He Receives What the Washington Man- agement Refused to Give Him. Killen apparently was wise in refusing to sign with Washington for 1,800. He bas just signed with Pittsburg for $2,400. He was worth it, every cent. Meanwhile Washington has Farrell—to get. Malvey is reported to have signed at last, but such reports are best taken with caution. ‘The Boston base ball management has signed a new catcher, William H. Merritt of Lowell, Mase. He was formerly with the Louisville and Chicago clubs. Jack Glasscock, the shortstop of the Browns, has arrived at St. Louis from Wheeling, W. Va. The only absent member of the club now is Pitcher Gleason, who has been ordered to re- port at once. Newell. who went south to 3 short in Glasscock’s place, was injured on Mon- day at Chattanooga. Tommy Dowd is playing the position now. Ata meeting of the stockholders of the old Wilkesbarre base ball club last night it was re- solved to place a team in the Eastern League. Patrick Powers, president of the Eastern League, attended the meeting. John Irwin of Boston will be asked to manage the team. ‘The Chattanooga club met its third defeat from the St. Louis club yesterday at Chatta- nooga by a gcore of 5 to 1. The Baiftmore club was defeated by the Charleston ‘Yeam yesterday afternoon. The score was 4 to 1. Although the Orioles had been practicing hard since their arrival, they ‘seemed not to have limbered up to any great extent, and the Charles- tons, being in good ‘trim, slipped in and ‘won a victory. Schmidt, Wadsworth and Baker each had three innings in the box. Rob- inson eaught the entire game. ‘Three errors were charged “against the visitors, while the home club played an errorless game.

The official time was 18 minutes 47 seconds, the best time ever made over the course, the best previous time made by Oxford last year having been 19 minutes 21 seconds. The race thus ended is the fiftieth of ite kind. One only, that of 1877, resulted in a dead heat. Of these races Oxford has won twenty-seven and Cambridge twenty-two. Oxford has now won for four years in succession. For the four preceding years Cambridge was the victor.

The position of the employe before the law is also plain—he may work or not as he pleases, He may contract to work one day or thirty 4 quit withont completing his part of the contract and his employer may discharge him, but caa do no more unless it be to sue for damages which would be worse than useless ninety-nine times in @ hundred. The employe is in no sense an agent of the company, merely an irresponsible bireling. This being the case railroad hands have it in their power to stop every wheel at their — will. are more than 1,000,000 of such men and it would be impossible to replace them. for s long time should they be discharged. Thus it will be seen that the men can enforce their demands for increased pay unless their employers can compel them to service. This | they are now striving to do in the west. | Whether they will succeed remains to be seen. But, when that day dawns on which a man is compelied by force to perform a labor contract, on that same day is he reduced from an Ameri- can citizen to a slave. If the courts decide that an employe must perform his contract, then in justice they must accord him not wages, but a share of earnings: in short, make hima de facto owner.
