Concluding Testimony Given at the Hearing—Mr. Taylor's Brief State- ment of What Induced His Act. Thomas J. Taylor, who shot and killed his wife yesterday morning at their home, 332 llth street southeast, has been held for the grand jury on a charge of murder. The coroner’s jury late yesterday afternoon, after hearing a good deal of testimony, rendered a verdict that Nannie W. Tay- lor came to her death as a result ef a wound inflicted by her husband. After The Star’s report of the inquest had closed, Miss Clara Brown, the elder sister of Mrs. Taylor, swore that her family had never had anything to do with Taylor. Her sis- ter often visited her home, and last spring she showed marks of having been terribly beaten. She was bruised and her throat bore marks of a severe choking. She had said that her husband had beaten her. Miss Brown declared that as far as she knew there was no reason for Taylor’s jealousy. Her sister had complained’ that Taylor followed her whenever she went out, and she could not understand> why. Mrs. ‘aylor had been very unhappy for several Mrs. W. E. Clarkson gave some Interest- ing testimony, showing that Taylor’s jeal- ousy had caused him to deciite to. break up housekeeping. The day before the tragedy he called her down into the.perter and told her that things had come to such a pass between him and his wife that he was go- ing to give up the house. He asked Mrs. Clarkson if she knew of men coming to tne house to visit Mrs. Taylor, and if she received them in the parlor with the doors closed. She replied that this was the case. Taylor had gone on to speak of the agent for the house as one of those he meant. Mrs. Taylor entered the room during the conversation and began to cry. There was a quarrel between the husband and wife, ‘nm which he charged her with receiving men during his absence. Taylor said he had positive proof of the guilt of the agent, and reminded his wife that he had a paper to prove something. Taylor alleged that he had arranged the furniture in the room when he left the house in such a way that when he returned he could see that it had been changed about “for a certain pur- pose.” Mrs. Taylor afterward told Mrs. Clarkson that there was no cause for her husband’s jealousy. He had accused her becavse he had seen some _ boot-nail seratches and some mud on a chair. Mrs. C'arkson told of the tragedy, and said that while she stood ir the hallway she heard Mrs. Taylor say: “Before God in heaven, I am. not guilty.” This was the last ut- terance of the dying woman. Mr. Peake’s Denials. John H. Peake was the next witness, and testified in an eager manner to demonstrate to the jury that he had absolutely no con- nection with the cese other than that of the mere agent of the house. He declared that he had never called upon Mrs. Taylor socially, and asserted that many of his calls there for the rent had been with his wife, who sat outside in the buggy. He first knew the Taylors when they kept a little cigar store at the corner of 9th street and Maryland avenue northeast. He used to go in to buy cigars occasionally, but he did rot know Mrs. Taylor socially. There was an occasional lapse in the rent, but ultimately it was all paid. There was a wait of about two weeks for the rent due on the 15th of August. Thursday evening Taylor called at his house and Warned him to stay away fram his home. He had ac- cused Peake of being too triendly there, and Peake asked him if he had ever seen him act other than as a gentleman. T: lor had merely-repeated the warning, and then gave notice that he would give up the house. He took a letter from his pocket, and, asking Peake if he knew a man named Smithson, read a part of the paper, which proved to contain certain allusions to a meeting with Mrs. Taylor. Peake had an- swered that he once knew a man named Smithsen, who worked in the navy yard. Dr. Sterling Ruffin swore to the cause of death, as developed by the autopsy. Taylor's Brief Statement. Taylor was the last witness. He made a brief statement, mairly relating to his talk with Peake, giving a different version of the affair. He said he accused Peake with having ruined his wife and his own life. He said that his buggy had been seen standing before the house so often and so long at a time that the people in the neigh- borhood -were talking. Peake had explain- ed that he had merely called there while oi his way from the cemetery. “Mrs. Taylor, he had said, “is a very prepossessing woman, and I greatly enjoy a social chat with her.” Taylor had insisted that Peake should not compromise his wife, and as- serted that a man in his position could easily ruin a family. Peake answered by saying that Taylor was crazy. Taylor then produced the letter which he had shown to Peake, which was as follows: “WASHINGTON, D. C., August 18, 1894. “Dear Mrs. Taylor: I taken the pleasure in writing to let you hear from me. Mrs. Taylor, Mr. Smithscn wants to know !f you are coming up today to see him, and was you up hear a Friday to see him. I was a coming down there last evening, but I was lait a gitting home, and don't you tell him I wasn’t there, because he wanted me to go so bad. Please let me kno by the bar, tell me everything. No fellars don’t let me fall. Good by from a frierd. “LUCINDY BATTLES.” Taylor said that he had found this letter on the floor of his house, and had shown it to his wife. She laughed and tore it up. He then gathered up the pieces and pasted them together, and he and his wife went to see Lucinda Battles, who explained that she was flustered about a Police Court case when she wrote the note, and put down Mr. Smithson instead of Mrs. Smithson. This explanation did not satisfy Taylor, who thought the allusion to Smithson was really intended for Peake. Lucinda has since said that the note was about some dressmaking. Taylor was much affected during his story, and wept at times. He concluded by saying that he did not want to say any- thing about the shooting, as it did not seem necessary. He left the stand with a prayer for the soul of his wife. The jury then retired, and quickly re- turned the verdict as stated. Mrs. Taylor will be buried tomorrow from the residence of her brother-in-law, Mr. E. J. Adams, 317 Maryland avenue northeast. —————— Dr. Cottrell’s Will. The will of the late Dr. Joseph F.

Albaugh’s.—There is never a dull minute during the performance of “A Wild Duck,” consequently those who attend Albaugh’s the coming week can go prepared to laugh, as the performance has made elsewhere what is known in theatrical parlance as a hit. As suggested by the title, this latest effort of Mr. Gaiter is a humorous bit of city life, served in an attractive manner by an up-to-date organization. The two main characters are two typical New York gents of sporty nature, one young, the other old, and the plot hinges on the youngster’s effort to scare the old gent into making an as- signment of all his property, real and per- sonal, over tc him. Mark Sullivan, the well-known and favorite farce comedy comedian, stains the title role of “A Wild Duck.” Miss Marie Stuart, the idol of the roof gardens in New York the past summer, and the sensation of the vaudeville stage the past season, will be seen in the part of “That French Girl.” The clever sisters McCoy, as “Twenty Century Cash Charles A. Morgan, as an up-to-date ary goods clerk and society butterfly; Ben. Lodge, as the victim of misplaced confi- dence; John Page, as the boy that is al- ways hunting for trouble; Miss Nellie Haw- thorne, Mr. Robert Vernon, Miss Lydia Pierce, Gracie and Reynolds,the Irish come- dians; Miss Kate Cherry, Miss Martha Franklin, Miss Lottie Seymour and others will be seen in the cast. New National Theater.—The Tavery Grand English Opera Company announce a Week's engagement at the New National Theater on Monday night. What will make this engagement of more than ordinary in- terest is the fact that this will be the first English grand cpera company to tour the United States in a number of years, and the asturance that the Tavary Company will be the only organization that will pre- sent English grand opera in Washington this season. Madame Tavary’s voice is @ soprana of highest range, pure, rich, resonant, of rare lyric possessions, and her skill in execution almost without limit. It bas been the one great ambition of Manager Charles H. Pratt, who is direct- ing the tour of Madame Tavary, to present to the American p an opera company stronger in cast of characters and greater in accessories and perfection of detail than has ever been heard in this country. The list of artists in support of Madame Tavary are notable for thelc brilliancy, and include Mariani and Sophia Romani, sopranos. The contraltos are Helen von Doenhoff and Thea Dorre. In A. L. Guille Manager Pratt has unquestionably secured the greatest of living tenors; two other celebrated tenors being Clark and William Warren. William Mertens and S. Dudley are the baritones. William H. Hamilton is the basso and William Schuster the basso cantanta. Manager Pratt has sur- rounded his company with a thoroughly grand opera orchestra, composed of musi- clans, which will be under the direction of Senor Emrico Morreale. The chorus con- sists of young and trained voices, who can sing and are thoroughly capable. The repertoire for the week is as follows: “nl * Tuesday night, Wednesday matin “Bohe- ” Wednesday night, “Cavalleria Rusticana” and “Il Pagliacci; Thursday, “Lohengrin;” Friday, ‘“Faust;’ Saturday Iratinee, a popular Guille matinee; Satur- day night, “Tannhauser.” The advance sale of seats gives every indication of a brilliant engagement. Academy of Music.—William Haworth's latest play, “On the Mississippi,” will be seen in Washington for the first time at the Academy of Music next week. Butler's Bijou Theater.—Monday night at Butler's Bijou Theater will be presented “Tennessee's Pardner.” Miss Van Tassell is a bright little woman, whose fame has preceded her, and the role she plays is that of a soubrette of the M’liss type. It is an interesting plot, so much so that any in- congruities and faults of dramatic construc- tion are easily overlooked. There is suf- ficient in both lnes and story to entertain the listeners, and perhaps this statement is better than going into detail on the literary or dramatic merits of the play. Miss Van Tassell presents a very pretty picture in her western costumes, and plays the lead- ing role with spirit and dash and shows a good conception of the part. The star is well supported by a company of exceptional excellence, whose individual fitness for their parts brought each of them into as much prominence as the star. Incidental to the play are some good singing by the Sand Hill City Vocal Quartet and selections by the Rocky Mountain String Band. Kert.an’s Lyceum Theater.—High-class vaudeville will be the attraction at Ker- nan’s Lyceum Thester next week. C. W. Williams’ aggregation of eminent specialty artists will present a varied program of ex- ceptional merit. The organization. numbers thirty well-known performers, several of whom come direct from the prominent mu- sic halls of London and Paris, where they have acquired the distinction of “stars.” The company is headed by Mile. Agnes Charcot, the only lady hypnotist in the world, whose performance is said to be re- markable. Others in the company are Mur- phy and Mack, refined Irish comedians; Al, Reeves, the world’s greatest banjoist and author, conceiver of mirthful songs and parodies in keeping with the progressive age; the Brilliant Quartet, in correct im- itatiors; Prof. Wormwood and his troupe of educated dogs and monkeys; Morrissey and Proctor, champion soft shoe dancers of the world; Marlo and Dunham, the supreme masters of horizontal bar fame; the Hiatts, high-class musical and comedy artists; C. W. Williams, the prince of entertainers, ventriloquist par excellence; Apdale and Wallace, society sketch artists. There will Pm matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Satur- lay. A Song Recital.—Mr. Louis Lindheimer will give his friends here an opportunity of hearing his fine baritone voice in a song re- cital, which will take place on the 26th inst. He will sing several numbers, calculated to show the range, versatility and dramatic power of his voice, and those who have heard him in private are enthusiastic over his work, asserting that there is no bari- tone now before the public in this country who is his superior. He will be assisted by the Philharmonic Quartet. ———d EXCURSIONS, ‘The green lawns of Marshall Hall will be an attractive place tomorrow, and there will be no lack of amusements for the old and young. This resort has no competitor for cleanliness and good order. Professor Schroeder's band will furnish music all day. The stezmer Macalester will leave at 11 a.m., 2.30 and 6:30 p.m. Capt. Randall will give another one of his popular excursions to Chapel Point tomor- row. Attractions of all descriptions are found here, including fine fishing, crabbing and excellent salt water bathing.

A delightful saii is offered by the Marshall Hall and Mount Vernon Steamboat Com- Pany to Indian Head and Marshall Hall this evening, on the steamer Macalester, which will leave at 6:30 o’clock. The boat stops at Marshall Hall both ways, giving an o}portunity to all those who desire to enjoy a pleasant evening there. on Transportation Co.» Troubles, There was a meeting last evening at the Z.on Baptist Church of about one hundred stockholders of the People’s Transportation Company, an organization of colored peo- ple, formed for the purpose of running a boat between here and Norfolk, Va. As heretofore reported in The Star, there has been considerable dissatisfaction manifested by the stockholders as to the manner in which the affairs of the company have been conducted. Mr. Daniel Webster presided over the meeting, and it was announced that there were ninety-eight stockholders present, which number was subsequently increased by the entrance of Mr. S. G. Thompson, who was looked upon as an adherent of President Patterson, There was a general discussion of the affairs of the company, which resulted in the adoption of resolu- tions, submitted by the following commit- tee: W. H. Thomas, F. D. Lee, R. H. Key, R, H. Hunter and Anthony Lewis. These resolutions charged that President Patterson had attempted to run the com- pany more in the interest of himself than of the stockholders, and recommended that the stockholders engage legal advice for the purpose of bringing the matter into the courts, pledging the financial support of the stockholders In such proceedings and notifying all other stockholders of such a purpose and requesting their co-operation and sasistance: The resolutions were adopted by a vote which included about all those present ex- cept Mr. Thompson, and the meeting then adjourned, after contributions had been made for the purpose of carrying on the war against President Patterson, The People’s A HOUSE-WARMING. The Y. M. C. A. Building to Be Thrown Open on Monday Night. The Young Men's Christian Association, 1409 New York avenue northwest, has been doing more than its usual summer house cleaning this year, and has made its head- quarters look better than any time since it has occupied the old Chamberlin property on New York avenue. Beginning with the front, it has been treated to fresh paint that brings out the size of the building in contrast with its setting among its red brick neighbore.. New shades have been hung in all the windows and at night a large gas lamp of 150-candle power will hang over the front door. Entering, the change is equally noticeable and pleasing to the eye. Paint and paper has completed @ transformation scene which will be par- ticularly agreeablexto the many who fre- quent this always« popular rendezvous for young men. On the right, as one enters, the large parlors, witht their liberal display of lace curtains and comfortable easy chairs, etc., are exceedingly dnviting. On the left are the reading ropms, showing some per- f£on's good taste inawadl decorations. The rooms on the second floor, fitted up for the evening edueational classes, are well lighted, and the»students who are so fortunate as to attend need have no fears for their eyes. The cluss rooms have been served liberally and ent a very attrac- tive appearance, withztheir full equipment of comfortable desis and chairs and liberal supply of blackboards: It would seem that nothing material was Jacking to insure the great success of sthe Y.M.C.A. Business School for Young Men. Descending into the gymnasium, Physical Director Sims’ face -wreathed in smiles would indicate the satisfaction he feels in the preparation for his athletes. Everything is in first-class order and the room appears to have grown considerably, but this is only imaginary and caused by the artistic use of paint. The apparatus, too, has a new look, having been thoroughly overhauled and where necessary and posstble additions made. A feature is the striking bag and the arrangement of the pulley weights, used in these days by those seeking health more than muscle, The arrangement makes it possible for the instructor to have a large class engaged in pulling the weights at one time and exemplifying the purpose of the organization to instruct and help a large number for a comparatively small money Sr all the ch ralseworthy al e changes the most wort! is the locker and bath room: s They a4 no extended notice, for they will speak for themselves.

The inspector ex- amined the pcol of water, which has for weeks been standing in the bed of the street and pronounced it a menace to the health of the vicinity. This condition of affairs will be separtely reported to the Commissioners so they may abate the nuisance, A petition from the residents of the street will be sent to the Commission- ers early next week. The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of Garden Memorial Presbyterian Church held a special meeting Thursday evening. The subject of special considera- tion was the communication from the Ana- costia Epworth League, inclosing a reso- lution protesting against the saloon in Anacostia. The endeavorers took hold of the subject and adopted a resolution pro- testing against the issuing of any license either for the wholesaling or retailing of intoxicating liquors .in tia, and par- ticularly protesting agatnet’ the regranting of licenses now held in the village. A com- mittee of five was;appointed to co-operate with the EpworthsLeague and other local organizations, and to present the resoul- tions to the excise beard: The committee consists of Carleton i. Snell, Mrs. M. M. North, Miss Evalyn Doughty, Walter R. Tubbs and Cavour‘O. Bohrer. Revival services at: the Anacostia Rap- ust Church terminated Thursday evening. Rev. Hugh T.

The eclipse of the moon came off on schedule time last night, and for a matter of its size was entirely successful. The moon shone forth in all its glory and the shadow cast upon it by the earth in pass- ing was clearly visible to all observers. No observations were taken at the naval ob- servatory, for the reason that the eclipse was of no special interest from an astro- nomical standpoint. ee The Trial of the Ericsson. Buoys have been placed in Long Island sound by the lighthouse steamer Cactus along the course over which the torpedo boat Ericsson is to be tried, and it is said that the preparations for the trial will be completed by the first of the week.

According -to the story of Officer John A. Foster, the two are living together, and yesterday Winters’ real wife came after him, and wanted him to come home to her. There was the usual quarrel and profanity, and when the officer put them under arrest they fought him vicious- ly, and might have got the better of him if a passerby, Mr. William J. Ryan, had not come to his assistance. The result was that an added charge of assault was lodged against them. The woman was fined $5 in each case, and the man $10. —_-—- Execution at Hopkinsville, Ky. Beverly Adams, a negro, twenty-two years old, was hung at Hopkinsville, Ky., for the murder of Otto Campbell, another negro, last May. The execution in the jail yard was witnessed by fifty people. The doomed man reiterated his statement that the kill- of Campbell was an accident. CRUSTED SCALY SKIN TORMENTS MINISTER'S FAMILY. ALMOST DROVE WIFE MAD. DOCTORS INSTANT RELIEF AND SPEEDY. CURB BY CUTIOURA. ‘Three years ago my wife, four little children and myself were afflicted with a crusty, scaly isease of the skin. It tormented us all. Such @ plague I hope will never again visit my family. My children’s ages were respectively nine, seven and four years, except the youngest, who was only two months old. Of all our suffering, my Wife suffered the most. It almost drove ber mad. ‘The disease first made its appearance on my wife's back between the shoulders, and spread across to her breast. It looked Ike it was covered over with little scales. I first bought of a drug store medicine for skin disease, which failed to do any good whatever. I next employed a doctor who gave relief for a short while. After trying him for quite a while without effecting a cure, I called in another doctor, who proved to do no better than the first. After this I bought CUTICURA REME- DIES of Messrs. Purcell, Ladd & Co., Richmond, Va., having read of them in a newspaper. Relief followed the first application, and five or six sets cured all of us. I do not know what the disease was we had, it affected us all‘alike, but I do know CUTICURA cured us of that skin disease. Rev. J. N. WOODS, Avon, Nelson county, Va.
