He said he oppose the payment of $175,000 a year. Nothing definite will be settled until George Gould’s re- turn from Europe.

STELLA HORTON’S ESTATE, ‘Two Wills Produced Purporting to Be Made by the Deceased. This morning before Judge Cox, in Circuit Court No. 2, the trial of the contest over the will of the late Annie E. Northentt, alias Stella Horton, was commenced, John McGrane, a brother of the deceased, contesting the will on the ground that the purported will dated February 26. 1892, by which the real estate of the deceased was left to Joseph H. McBann of this city and her personal e: tate to her sister, Myra Dugan, and the latter's daughters, was revcked by a subsequent will dated September 21, 1892. by which the estate was divided between the two brothers of the deceased, two-thirds to Lawrence McGrane, now deceased, and one-third to John McGrane. Shillington & Forrest appear for the caveatees, and J. J. Johnson and L. E. Bailey for the caveator. Six issues were certified to be tried by the jury affecting the will of February 26, 1892. ‘They were as fol- lows: 1. Wag it in dueand legal form? 2. Were ite contents known to the deceased at or before its execution by her? 3. Was the deceased at the time of its execution of sound and dis- posing mind?” 4 Was it procured by un- jue influence exercised by Myra Dugan or Joseph H. McCann or by any one else? 5. ‘Was it procured by fraud by these persons? 6. ‘Was the will sul jueut to its execution altered or revoked in whole or in part,andif in part, what part or parts? Messrs. T. H. Callan, R. Ford Combs, Albert H. Shillington and Joseph Shillington,the wit- nesses to the will of February 26, 1893, identi- fied the will, and testified that ‘it was signed and witnessed in the office of the last named, 463 Louisiana avenue, on that date. WITNESSED A LATER-WILL. For the caveator, John McGrane, the brother of the deceased, James Montgomery and Ber- nard Clements of Brooklyn testified that they witnessed the will of September 21. 1892, signed which, — the; te in Grane y of Brooklyn, testified that he was present w Ennis, n the September will wes made and identified it. Upon the testimony of these witnesses the caveatee rested their case, virtually abandon- ing their case as ‘to all the is- sues but that ono <elating to the alleged revocation of the will of February 26, 1892, by the paper of September 21, 1892, coun- tel for the caveator contending that as the pur- ported will of September 21, 1892, was wit- nessed by but two persons it could convey nothing more than the personal estate of the deceased. For the caveator Mr. Joseph Shillington briefly opened the case, stating that they would show beyond all doubt that the deceased was not in Brooklyn on the day that she was alleged to have made the will there, on September 21, 1892; that she was’ in Washington during the whole of the en- campment week. September 19-24, 189°, Clerk L. P. Williams of the District Supreme Court testified as to the date of the encamp- ment. and Thos, McPherson. the coachman of Mre. Northcutt, testified that she was in Wash- id | ington during the entire week of the encamp- ment. Mise Katie Howard, a young woman, testi- fied that she lived at Miss Horton's house, and that Miss Horton was not out of the city on the Qist of September. 1892. To Mr. Bailey the witness stated that she had come to Washington from New York, and that she had lived in Boston, New York, Chicago and various other places. She and a number of other ladies boarded with Misa Horton. Witness knew what a house of prostitution was, but had never heard Miss Horton's house re- ferred to as such. Mr. Bailey subjected the witness to a long cross-examination, but she insisted that Miss Horton was not out of the city on the 2ist of September, 1892. h McLean, a very black und a very stout colored woman, ‘testified that sh. was Miss Horton's cook and that Miss Horton did not leave the city during encampment week. Chas. H. Hospitable, a clerk in Woodward & tore, testified that on the 2ist of Inst September Miss Horton was in the store about 8 o'clock in the afternoon, and also in the store the next day, purchasing’ goods on each ocea- sion. Witness identified two checks given by Mies Horton on the days named in payment of the goods. ADATE FIXED BY A CHECK. Jas. Kearney, the assistant superintendent of Woodward & Lothrop’s store, testified that on the afternoon of the 2ist of last September he drew up a check for Miss Horton on the Cen- tral National Bank of this city for $173, in pay- ment of goods purchased from the store that day by her, and that she then and there signed the check in the presence of witness. W. W. Nairn stated that in September last ho was the assistant receiving teller of the Central National Bank and that Miss Horton had an ac- He identi- fied the checks given Woodward & Lothrop on September 21 and 22 last by Miss Horton as having been signed by her, and said that they were paid at his bank on the 23d and 24th of that month, respectively. Jennie Briscoe, a young colored woman, tes- tified that she was Miss Harton’s chambermaid and that Miss Horton was not out of the city during encampment last September. In rebuttal counsel for the caventor called Mrs. Lawrence McGrane, who testified that Mrs, Davis (Miss Horton) arrived at the home of witness in Brooklyn about noon on the 21st of last September, and that she signed her will that afternoon. ‘This closed the evidence in the case, and Mr. Bailey began the argument of the case for the caveator. ——.__. ‘Mr. Dant’s Bondsmen.

Braxpvorp, Mass., June 20.—All of Sunday and Sunday night the body of John Kuox lay in the vestibule of the little church here sur- rounded by anxious watchers. There was an open grave in the little village church yard ready to receive the remains of Knox. ‘The situation had been one of thrilling inter- est to the town’s folks, who watched with the dead man's family, fully expecting to see the body rise from the coffin. Mr. Knox had dropped dead of heurt disease, and the arrange- ments for the funeral were curried out in the usnal manner, Just before the coffin was closed it was found that the glass plate immediately above the head was covered with u slight moisture, the face and brow of the dead man being moist to the touch. Dr. Deans, the man’s physician, examined the body, but said there was no doudt of death. ‘The coffin had already been lowered into the grave, the sexton stood ready to throw the dirt upon ‘the box when the pleadings of the rela- tives decided those in charge to raise the body from the grave and return it to the church, A watch was provided and throughout tho night there was no moment when some eye did not rest on the casket. ‘The moisture of the face still continued, and could be seen till into the evening. ‘The raising of the eyelid by one of those in charge caused a tear to roll slowly down the cheek and drop to the pillow of the casket. There were no signs of dissolution. color of the lips, which were dark, seemed to lighten a little as the night progressed. early hour yesterday morning tho sented a singularly life-like appe: face and brow were of a pink and healthy color. ‘Thoxe who were watching seemed to still bold to the hope that the condition was rather that of a trance than death. But at noon yesterday the signs of dissolution were quite marked and the body was buried with the full consent of the family. The Sse CLEMENCY FOR ARMENIANS, American and English Legations at Con- stantinople Blamed for Their Apathy. Loxvox, June 20.—Tke Daily News #: day that telegrams have been sent to the S of Turkey and to the Turkish grand vizier, imploring that clemency be shown to the seven- teen Armenians who were afew dava ago sen- tenced at Angora to suffer the death penalty for the part they took in the seditious rioting that occurred at Casarea and Marsovan last epring. ‘The paper adds that the document in the case purporting to involve Protestant ministers in the troubles are known to be forgeries. It ther says that the testimony of witnesses is alleged to have been purchased by the govern- ment officials conducting the trials of the ac- cused men. ‘Thero is much indignation among the forcign residents of Constantinople at the apathy of the American legation in the matter aud the refusal of Great Britain to rend a consular ofi- cer to attend the trials at Angora. It is believed that the condemned men will | be shot or poisoned unless the powers inter- vene and send officials from their embassies to conduct them to Constantinople, —— CUTTING FREIGHT RAT! The Canadian Pacific In on Western Busine: a New Tariff New Yorx, June 20.—On Friday last, the | Canadian Pacific Railrond made a redac- tion on freight between New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore and San Fran- cisco. Tho Canadian Pacific issues a new tariff today cutting ten per cent further the Soutnera Pacific. This makes all the class rates $1 ex- cept the first three classes, which are rea tively $1.82, $1.61 and $1.29 per 100 poun It is done for the alleged purpose of maintain: ing the differential that it claims to be en- titled to. ‘The Canadian Pacific announces these rates nearly all the trunk lines, and {t has been suggested that this is in direction violation of the trunk line association agreements, which specifies that none but initial railroads shall issue the tariffs. The Canadian Pacific, it is understood, carries little or no freight. It does not care to.’ ‘The Southern Pacific is taking the bulk of the business, and it is having its own way. ceases GILBERT, THE DYNAMITER, ww York From England on termer Chester. ‘New York, June 20 —James Gilbert, the dy- namiter, recently discharged from an English prison, arrived here this morning on the steamer Chester.

(Continued from First Page.) “The counsel who opened the case for the defense said the motive was a part of the govern- ment’s case, but this is not so, although the con- sideration of motive has weight in elucidating the facts in the case. Motives, however, neither adequate nor even tolerable when c sidered in connection withacrime. The motives d are as inscrutable as are the ways of Divine Providence. It does afford satisfac- tion to our reasoning to have discovered that there were unfortunate conditions in that fam- ily from which we can suspect even the malice called your attention to the y lived under the same roof. It impresses me deeply, as I am sure it did you. ‘The malice was ail before the fact; the wicked- ness, the ingratitude had gone on under that roof for many, many months. “Because the lips of those who do know are sealed in death, we don’t know but that some new phase had come up in the family life adding to the feeling of malice and jealousy existing in this woman. No suggestion could be made by that poor man asin favor of his wife but we would fun the flame into unquenehable fire. “There may be that in this case which shows that Lizzie Andrew Borden did not plan to kill her father, and I hope so. But it was not Lizzie Andrew Borden who came down those stairs to meet her father, but a murderess, transformed from the tithes of affection to the most consummate cruelty ever known. She came down to meet that stern old man who loved his daughter, but who also loved his wife, and the one man above all who would know who had killed his wife, and when she came down stairs she came to meet Nemesis. He knew too much of the family relations and she did not dare to lot him live. When she came down stairs it was her father she mot, but 1t was also the husband of the stepmother whom she hated. ‘There was no escape from thecrime but tocom- plete the bloody work. The second murder was not planned, but was done as a wicked and fearful necessity. And I say this to relieve my mind of the drendful feeling that there is = deliberate parricide in the world. THAT FATAL MORNING. “Bridget was doing her work at the house and the old man was taking the last walk of his life. We found him moving slowly about the city, stopping in various places of business, and finally he turned into the yard of the house where his wife lay dead. He went around to the side door and found it locked, went to the front door and tried to use his key, but could not, and was let in by Bridget. He came into house, sat down, and then came Lizzie TENTH “SUBURBAN.” It Will Be Witnessed by a Great Crowd. LAMPLIGHTER INSTALLED AS FAVORITE, All the Bangtails in Good Condition but Charade. A FINE RACE EXPECTED. Coxzx Istaxp, LL, June 20.—The tenth Suburban handicap will be run this afternoon over s track that isa little dusty, but safe and fast. Should the race be closely contested and not bea one-horse affair,as many think, very fast time may be expected, if, indeed, the record is not broken. A great crowd is expected to come down to see the handicap, and also to escape the swel- tering heat which prevails in the city. WHERE IT 18 CooL. ‘The weather is all that could be desired here, for while it is very hot about the lawn and in the paddock, the well-sheltered grand stand is one of the most comfortable places imaginable. Acooland refreshing breeze is blowing full inte it, making it, indeed, a most pleasant haven for perspiring humanity. Many of the handicap candidates were out on the traek early this morning, but beyond gentle trotting and cantering nothing was done with them. All appear fit save Charade, and it is quite doubtful whether he will go to the post. ‘The Metropolitan handicap winner got a nasty fall Sunday morning and severely hurt his leg. He was rather lame yesterday, and unless this is a great deal better it is not‘at all probable that horse can sport silk. LAMPLIGHTER THE FAVORITE. Lamplighter from present indications will be and many trainers here this morning were so confident that the colt would win that they said the race was “‘all over but the shouting.” from the very place where his wife Iny dead and told him a falsehood about where that wife was. that would keep the old man silent for a time, but not for long. ‘Then Bridget came into the dining room to wash tho windows there, and the old man, after paying a visit to his room, came into the sitting room again, and Lizzi with the spirit of Judes kissing hie ‘master sug. gests thnt he lay down to get a reat. Sho tells ridget that if she goes down to lock the door, as she might go ont hervelf. Then Bridget goes upstairs to get her rest and Lizzie goes on toning, alone with her victim. THE FATHER’S MURDER. “In less than 20 minutes she calls her servant down and tells ber that her father is killed. She had a good fire to iron her ciothes with and I have the evidence to prove it, for Officer Har- Tington tells us that at 12:30 there were living nd we know if there was fire there then there was » better one earlier in the day. “And when she was ironing, why did she stop? There were only a few handkerchiefs to iron, but for all the timo she was at work there were but a few of them rendy to lay away for use. And there was nobody who came to that house after the tragedy but asked this woman where she was when it happened; it began with Bridgot and ran through all her frienda Her story was not consistent with the facts, Dr. Bowen asked, ‘Where have you been?’ “Oh, pregnant question! Mrs. Churchill asked and received a similar answer as to being away from the house. Miss Ruseell, her friend, asked the same thing, and came the old story. And when John Fleet went to her room he went there to get her story in the interest of justice, in order to make up his mind as to What course to pursue. He bad no more idea of her being implicated than that bis chief was. And in that room was the Rev. Mr. Buck, and he heard every word of the conversation between Mr. Fleet and Miss Borden, and don't you eu; | pose that if there was anything wrong in the | story we should have heard of it? But they come here with the cowardly suggestion that this woman could not tell the truth because she had becn drugged. (Here counsel read the evidence of the talk between Fleet and Lizzie upon the first meeting in the house. ) LIZZIE’ VISIT TO THE BARN, “We must judge all facts and circumstances as they appear to our common sense, and, tried by that standard, I assert that that story is simply absurd and not within the bounds of reasonable possibilities. “It was one of the very hottest days in the hottest summer we have ever known and you ure asked to believe that she left her work at the ironing board and went up into that hot barn, You were there in that barn and you know what it is even ona cool June day when some kind friend had opened the doors and windows so you should not be suffocated. “But that isnot all. On Saturday night the mayor of that city and City Marshal Hilliard | heard the story azain, but with a variation. To | the one she said she went for lead, to the other that she went for iron. It may'be thet she went for both, but why couldn't they have brought us the screen that needed fixing; or show us the fish lines on | which those sinkers were to go? Show us some- thing which would help out the alibi? She told Officer Harrington that she could not hear any- thing, any noise because she was up in the loft. | This was the only place, the hottest about, where she could get and not hear anything. “In ail your observance have you ever beard of anattempt to create an alibi which was more strange than the circumstances of this | one? That barn alibi will not stand, and we leave her nearer her victim, and come back and find her father dead anda’ story on her lips which has no vestige of truth in it, “That barn was old and dusty; ite use had ceased; it had become a depository of rubbish and dust had settled upon it. Among thekeen- eyed mon who first went there was Medley, and he seemed to keep his wits about bim. He and the woman in the dock were the | only ones who appeared to do it. Medley, with a desire to clinch or verify every fact. after | hearing her story. went to the barn and looked | about it to see if anvthing had been disturbed. ‘There is not a man on this jury who will believe perjure himself as against that woman. That | story of Medley was correct.” ‘The prisoner watched Mr. Knowlton fixedly daring his argument, produced by the defendant was not the dress |worn at the time of the murder, las shown by Mrs, Churchill, Doherty and | Dr. Bowen. The search the day of the murder was insufficient, but put defendant on her guard and. Saturday's thorough | search fniled to disclose the dress; therefore he claimed that it was concealed. Paper would have pro- tected the defendant's person and burnt paper was found in the stove. The two versions of the burning of defend- ant’s dross were irreconcilable, Defendant's conduct siuce that time was dis- cusved, and Mrs. Reagan's story was declared tobe true. Tho production of a hatchet was no part of the government's case, but it was a part of its duty to produce all it knew bearing on the ease. Mr. Knowlton reviewed at length the evi- dence as tothe handless hatchet and discussed | ita bearing on the case, dwelling on the signifi- | cance of its fitting the wounds and being broken short as if by design, After discussing general matters of note he briefly but powerfully summarized bis entire argrment, claimed that the defenso amounted to nothing, and closed at 12:05 with an eloquent peal to the Jury to decide as their consciences should dictata, RECESS TAKEN. The court then took a recess till 1:45, THE PRISONER PROTESTS INNOCENCE. At 1:45 the court resumed its session and the defendant was given an opportunity to speak. She said: “Iam innocent, but I will leave my case in your hands and with my counsel.” ‘THE JURY CHAROED. Justice Dewey then charged the jury. He told them to disregard previous hearings, and defined the different degrees of murder. He stated the presumption of innocence, which was increased by defendant's character. | There must be a real and operative motive. exalts Deed of Trast;by a Railway Compan: A deed of trast of tho Tenleytown and j@man cin go on that stand and deliberately | » Mr. Knowlton declared that the silk dress | Banquet will probably be the second choice in the betting and The third in demand. ‘The remainder of the fi will be at all kinds “Where was that stepmother?

Gaara Hit in COL. AINSWORTH AT HIS OFFICE. He Says He Has Nothing to Say on the Coro- ner’s Verdict. Col. Ainsworth was at his office the entire afternoon transacting business as though nothing unusual had occurred, A Stan reporter called on him and asked him if he had anything to say for publica- tion in regard to the verdict of the coroner's jury, He thanked the reporter for the oppor- tunity afforded him and_ said: “I have nothing to say on that subject. Eten if I had I think it would be improper to say itat present.” A great many friends of the colonel called on him during the afternoon. THE BATHING BEACH. Bules for Its Regulat! Submitted by Su- perintendent Stevens. Superintendent Stevens of the bathing beach today submitted to the Commissioners for their approval the following rales for the regu- lation of the beach. The object of this establishment is to pro- mote health and enjoyment and every one is in- vited to partake and to assist others. Try to please and never displease others, and you will bo a welcome guest: 1, All who wish to bathe must register at the office, and others must keep away from dressing rooms. Take a check from your room and keep it on you in the water to reclaim your room by. Noone but the keeper must unlock any door. Leave your valuables at the office. No charge for keeping. 2 Registry begins at 10 a.m. All must come out of the water at sunset and vacate their rooms as soon as possible. No bathing per- mitted after sunset. 3. Thin persons ought not to stay in the water overan hour. Plump ones may safely stay in longer. But an hour is the limit for the ‘use of a room in busy times and three or more may have room together when there is a crowd. 4. Bathing is free to all who have proper suite, The body must be covered with material entirely different from the wearer's skin. 5. All who cannot swim must keep inside the fence to the right of the wharf unless attended by a swimmer. All who can swim must keep to the left of the wharf unless attending some who cannot swim. 6. Keep between the boat and shore, so the Doatman's‘attention may not be distracted. It as foolhardy toswim way out where assistance cannot be rendered in time of need, and it can- not either fiatter your vanity because no one knows who vou are when so far away. 7. When the tide is extremely low the whole: wharf is above the water. At such time it is possible to wade to the edge of the silled bot- tom, where the bank is steep, then use common cantion in wading into deep water. 8. Don’t throw sticks, stones, mud, nor any- thing clue, 9. Don't cut nor mark the houses nor deface anything. 19. Don't spatter nor duck nor wrestle in the water. 11. Keep the door shut while in the dressing oom. 12 Don't ridicule nor make remarks about the bat All improper language is pro- hibited, Be quiot in the houses and don't Live alarms nor unnecessary noise anywhere ‘on the premises. 13, Dogs may swim north of the north fence and south of the south walk, but not on the beach front. 14. Let the boat and lines and floating fence alone. ‘They are for general safety and not for playthings, 15. Any person violating any of the fore- going rules shall be subject to immediate ex- clusion from the beach and the premises, and shall be excluded from the privileges there- of during the then pending bathing season, and to such other punishments as the law pro vides. —_——-__ A Rale to Show Cause. Jadge Hagner, in the Equity Court this after- noon, granted a rule on the officers of the Fidelity Building, Loan and Investment Asso- ciation commanding them to show cause on the 27th instant why a receiver should not be w pointed in conformity with the petition filed by & number of the shareholders of the association on Saturday last, as stated in yesterday's Stan. Both Women Were Fined. The James creek canal, which is xnown as a death trap, both for the reasun that many lives have been lost in the filthy stream and because | of the disease spread by foul odors emanating from it, does not have the effect of fri htening those who reside along iis banka, and while per- sous are falling in the water others are engaged in quarrels aud fights, The last ones to figure in an unfriendly meeting were Mamio Bartell, white, and Alice Evans, colored. A shotgun belonging in the Bartell family figured in the affair and it also figured in the hearing of the case in Judge Miller's court this morning. Mr. James L.

Result of the House-to-House Inspection Under the Direction of the Health Officer Last Week—Many Minor Matters That Have Received the Attention of the Com- missioners. WHAT DRIGHTWOOD WANTS. The citizens of Brightwood want some im- Provements during the coming year and they want the Commissioners to make provision for them in their annual estimates. At a recent meeting of the Brightwood Avenue Citizens’ Association a committee was appointed to look after the matter, and the committee has handed the Commissioners their petition as follows: The Citizens’ Association of Brightwood Avenue respectfully and earnestly petition your honorable body to include in your estimates to Congress for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1894, sufficient amounts for the following needed improvements: 1, For the erection and maintenance of forty- ‘one new gas lamps, as per appended schedule. | 2.

The operation of the lectric railroad | through this section, tho great number of | strangers which it drops along the line and the | growth of the country all along the line make | better police protection and the proper lighting of the country adjacent thereto an imperative | necessity. No other system of police protec- tion than that of a sub station with a resident | officer (as has been proven to our sorrow) can | protect the lives and morals of our community. The completion of the brick footway on the east side of Brightwood avenue and the exten- sion of the same to Emory Church are abso- lately necessary for the safety and convenience of a large number of children in attending the public and Sabbath schools, and for the gen- eral public in going to and fro in avtendanco upon their various daily avocations. In view of the rapid growth of this section, and in fact of the whole northern portion of the District, a proper sewerage system is of serious import and should have been established e're thia, Brightwood Park is of phenomenal growth and exigencies of these suburbs demand a Proper need of disposing of the great amount of waste matter which must necessarily here collect or be carried off in Piny branch, to the pollution of all that section through which it lows.
