Saloonkeeper Albert Barnes, who keeps a saloon on H street near the government printing office, was given a trial in the Police Court today on a charge of selling liquor to minors. Albert Drake, nineteen years old, was the minor alleged to have been furnished the liquor. He told the court and jury that he was in the de- fendant’s place recently talking abéut the man who was shot at the prize fight, and while there he got,a glass of beer. “Who waited on you?” Mr. Pugh “Mr. Barnes,” he replied. “What did you pay for it?” “Five cents.” He said he had drank In other saloons and his age had never been questioned. Lawyer Sillers called attention to the fact that there was a variance between the name in the information and that in the license, and the court instructed the jury to return a verdict for the defendant. It is likeiy that the case will be heard again next week, as Mr. Pugh instructed the officers to swear out another warrant against the saloonkeeper. - —__—_.——_ Criticised the Court. “For reasons best known to Judge Kim- ball,” said Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, in Judge Miller's court today, “one of my cases has been sent up here for trial.” ‘The reason for it was known when it was seen that Lawyer Hewlett appeared as counsel in the case. The lawyer had made a speech at one of the indignation meetings, during the course of which he took occasion to say something about Judge Kimball. . Last Saturday Judge Kimball called Law- yer Jones to account for a speech he made and demanded an apology, which was not forthcoming, and it was expected that similar action would be taken when Lawyer Hewlett appeared. The course adopted by the judge caused a surprise. Lillie Graham was the defendant in the case, and when the proof had been heard a fine of $2 was imposed, asked. MECCA OF GERMANY The Chancellor a Others Call on Bismarck. ; NEW PRESENT OF THE REICHSTAG The Britannia Defeats the Ailsa at Nice. GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS FRIEDRICHSRUHE, March 27.—Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor William, accompanied by his six-year-old son, Prince Waldemar, arrived here at 11 o’clock this morning. He was followed by the Grand Duke of Baden, Prince Honen- lohe, the chancellor; Prince Alexander Von Hohenlohe, youngest son of the chancellor; the Baden ministry, and Count Von Wil- monski, chief of the imperial chancellery. ‘The visitors were received by Count Von Rantzau, the son-in-law of Prince Bis- marck, who escorted them to the castle, -where Prince Bismarck met them on the threshold and greeted them warmly. At the luncheon which followed Prince Henry of Prussia proposed the health of Prince Bismarck, adding: “May God long preserve you.” Prince Henry and Prince Waldemar left Friedrichsruhe at 12:15 p.m. Before the arrival of his guests Prince Bismarck, with his household, attended the trooping of the colors of his old cuirassiers, and bid the most cordial farewell to the officers. Chosen President of the Reichstag. BERLIN, March 27.—The reichstag today elected Baron Von Buol-Berenberg first vice president of the reichstag, and recent- ly acting president, to be president of the body, in succession to Herr Von Levent- zow, who resigned on Saturday last as a result of a refusal of the reichstag to per- mit him to congratulate Prince Bismarck in the name of the house on his birthday. he vote stood 201 for his election and 183 against it. The blank ballots cast num- Lered 105. The new president of the reichstag, in accepting the presidency, took occasion to Praise the services of his predecessor in office. The object of the visit of Prince Hohen- lohe, the chancellor, to Prince Bismarck it Friedrichsruhe today is to convey to him the congratulations of the federal council and the Prussian ministry. The committee which has the anti-revo- lution bill under examination began its] consideration of its second reading today, and rejected.the proposal of Herr Lense- mann to ghrow out the entire measure. Herr Schmidt,a member of the freisinnige party, who represents Elberfield in the reichstag, was elected first vicc president by a vote of 181 to 105. The blank ballots cast numbered 103. Herr Spahn, a member of the centre party, was elected second vice president in succession to Dr. Burklin, who resigned shortly after HerrVon Leventzow,by a vote of 176 to 105. There were 100 blank ballots. Count von Hompesch-Rurich, centrist, an- nounced that the conservatives and na- tional liberals had been sounded as to whether they would take office, and had declined to do so. BRIT! Ailsa Benten in Nice. Today's Race at NICE, France, March —The match for big yachts, which was declared void on Saturday last by the racing committee, on the ground that both Ailsa and Britannia crossed the Mne before the starting gun was fired, was resailed today. In view of this fact, and possibly in order to avoid any further differences with the racing com- mittee, Britannia and Ailsa deferred cross- ing the line for some time after the gun-was fired, and the actual starting iimes were: H. M. 8S. Allsa.. - 10 50 00 Britannia 10 3 1 Britannia won. The times of the yachts at the finish were: s. 090 b4 Ailsa.. 2 3 45 The result of today’s match demonstrated that Ailsa was very tender, while beating off shore in the second round, and that she is overloaded with sail, but it hardly indl- cates that she iz not an able boat in a breeze. The wind rose so suddenly at the beginning of the second round that both yachts had to take in their topsails hur- riedly. Ailsa, subsequently, had two breakdowns and a3 a matter of fact could not be sailed with such a press of canvas, having to be stayed, as it was too risky to gybe her. No one could have foreseen the blow, and with reefed mainsail and smaller jibsails she would: have shown herself a different vessel. Ailsa will want another trial in a breeze before it can be said she is only a light weather craft. More Resignations at Madrid. MADRID, March 27.—Further resigna- tions of the chief officials of the late sov- ernment, Including that of the president of the tariff committee, are announced. A bill increasing the army contingents raises the peace effective from 71,000 to $2,000, The treasury, semi-officially, denies that any Spsnish lean is proposed. It is added that the condition of the treasury is very satisfactory. The government will immediately send ad- ditional reinforcements of 6,000 men to Cuba. Progress cf the Italians. ROME, March 27.—A dispatch from Mas- sowah, Egypt, says that Gen. Baratieri, the commander of the Italian forces, occupied Adigrat on Monday last. He is now forti- fying that place, and has sent a fiying col- umn against Ras Mangascia, the Abyssin- ian chief who has been causing so much trouble to the Italians. Ras Mangascia is assisted by the almost equally famous Ras Aloula. Minor Foreign Matters, LONDON, March 27.—The Dowager Duchess of Buccleuch is dying.

COLON, Colombia, March 27.—A great battle was fought at Ensiso on March 15 between the government forces, under Gen. Reyes, and the rebels. The latter were de- feated after a struggle of ten hours, al- though 1,500 of the government troops had died while on the march. The rebels, who numbered 2,500 men, were completely rout- ed, and the town was captured. The gov- ernment forces lost 700 men during the battle, and the rebel loss amounted to 1,200. —— Mr. Apperson Improving. 1,0S ANGELES, Cal., March 27.—George A.

The following were the readings of the ALLEGEQ FIRE BUG Mary Delancy Brought Into Court Again Today: Witnesses Think She is Irresponsi- ble—Identified by Miss Bischof— Judge Miller's Remarks. Mary Delaney’s trouble in the jail Sunday night was caused by the smoking of an ill- smelling pipe by her cell mate, so she says, and after the objectionabje woman and pipe were removed, Mary gave the guards no further trouble. Yestetday afternoon, after her case had been discussed in the Police Court, and Judgé, Miller had set the case for a hearing today, the prisoner was returned to jail. Thisomorning she was brought up from jail‘ana taken before Judge Miller, to answer thé charge of hav- ing attempted to desgroy, St. Dominic's Church by fire a week agow When the case was culled, none of the Physicians who had examined the Mil- waukee woman were , present, and the court sent for Health ;Oficer Woodward, who soon appeared and listened to what was said. oc ‘The prisoner occupied @ séat at the coun- sel table beside her counsel, Lawyer Lam- bert, while Detectives-Carter and Gallaher were present to aid Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny. A plea of not guilty was entered, and William Henderson, the colored janitor, was the first witness called. Discovered Fire. He testified that last Thursday he dis- covered fire in the chapel, which is separ- ated from the church proper by swinging doors. The fire had been built on the floor in the corner, and there was the smell of coal oil in the room, He said the fire took place between 12 and 1 o'clock. He thought about twenty minutes after the ringing of the Angelus. Witness said that oll had been poured on the floor. He put out the fire with his hat. Rev. Father Casey was called, and he de- scribed the location of the chapel and the appearance of the floor after the fire had been extinguished. tected the odor of coal oij, and found that the place had been satyrated with the oil. Counsel cross-examined the witness con- cerning the time the fire took place, and as near as he could approximate it was be- tween 12:30 ard 1 o'clock. He said that, kerosene oil is not used about the building for anything. Identificd Her. Mics Barbara Bischoff, organist at St. Dominic's Church, was in the choir gal- lery last Thursday about the time the-fire broke out. She said she saw a lady come from the Holy Name chapel just before the fire was discovered. “Did you get a good look at the woman?” Mr, Mullowny asked. “{ did,” was her response. “Would you recognize her if you were to see her again?” $ “I would.” “Look about the court room,” said Mr, Mullowny, “and see if you see her.” “There she is,” said Miss Bischoff, point- ing to the prisoner; “and she walked very quickly toward the dcor.” Witness was cross-examined at length concerning the woman’s movements in the church. She was satisfied that the woman could not have been in one of the pews, or she would have seen her. She was certain that she came from the chapel. Miss Bischoff was also examined concern- ing the woman's identity. She described her as she had the day of the fire, and said she had under her cape a bundle which she thouecht was probably the size of a galion can. The woman was excited and was in a hurry, and this was what so particularly impressed upon her mind the woman’s appearance. The Arrest. Detective Carter was next sworn and he described Miss Delaney’s arrest early Fri- day morning, the day after, the fire. He said that the woman was very much ex- cited and there was an odor of kerosene oll about her clothes. Her tire¥s was appar- ently saturated with oil. Sle was excited and after some trouble he said she got in a cab and was taken to the police station, where she was turned over to the matron. When asked to explain’ what he meant by her being excited, witness said she call- ed ugly names and struck.poth witness and Detective Gallaher. While,there in the hotel she asked about the warrant for her arrest and produced a letter concemning her fail- ure to rent a concert hall, charging that the janiter of Carroll Halk wes persecuting er. Ye 2 Judge Miller said that. the officer had some experience_with prisoners and their wonduct, and asked what he thought of her conduct, whether or not it was rational. “Her conduct was very irrational,” an- swered the officer. Witness said that she was not told of the charge against her, but was under the im- pression that she was under arrest for fail- ure to pay her hotel bill. At the Station. Miss Lewis, matron of the police station, gave evidence concerning the coal oil on the prisoner's satchel and clothing, and told of several conversations she had with her. She talked in a rambling manner, and said she was guided by spirits and they did anything she commanded. If she com- manded any one to be shot he would be shot. These spirits, she told witness, always protected her and avenged her wrongs, and she could call on them at any time. During one conversation witness spoke to her of the dangers attending the burning of a church, and she (the prisoner) Witness said he de-, said that was no more than they deserved for persecuting her. Miss Lewis gave it as her opinion that Miss Delaney is of unsound mind. During her conversations Miss Delaney, she thought, was under the impression that she had been arrested about her hotel bill. Witness asked her how she got the coal Oe on her clothes, and she evaded the ques- ion. Counsel examined witness concerning the use of coal oil for the purpose of cleaning clothes, but the witness did not know that coal oil was used for such purposes, and the fluid on her clothes, the witness said, was undoubtedly coal oil. Others Atticted. Manager Bowen of the Elsmere was next examined, and he told of her conduct at the hotel. He thought her form of insanity was that she labored under the delusion that she was a good public singer, and the judge said he thought a great many others were afflicted the same way. “And,” he remarkes hey get mad if persons differ with them. Witness said he considered that she had a bad voice. He told of her unpaid board bill at the hotel and of her conduct, which ergs him to believe she was of unsound ind. Detective Carter was recalled and ques- tioned concerning the circumstances which led to the arrest, and while he said he had heard of threats having been made, he had no positive proof on that point. Lawyer Lambert then addressed the court in behalf of his client, claiming that the government had failed to connect his client with the burning in any manner. Not Responsible. Judge Miller then spoke of the case, re- calling the evidence of the different wit- nesses and also that of the woman herseif given in the court yesterday. The judge discussed the question of identification and told of how witnesses had been mistaken im many cases. There is one thing in the woman's favor, he said, and this is the fact that she has made no statement ad- mitting the offense. Usually, the court said, where insane people or people with a delusion are concerned they glory in what they do, but there are also some who keep their acts to themselves. After further discussing the case the judge said he was satisfied that she is not in proper condi- tion to make her responsible for her acts. How far she may be connected with the crime charged, the judge said, is another question, and he thought the proof in the case called for some explanation. GUESTS OF MR. CHAMBERLIN. Notable Dinner, With a Delightful Mena and Host. To be the guest of such a famous and de- lighiful host as John Chamberlin is to be assured of a good ti and consequently when this Lord Chamberlin to the kings of good living plans a banyuet for his friends they would travel many miles rather than miss the treat. Last evening was such an vceasion, for the senial host had issued invitations to half a hundred of his friends to meet him around the mahogany, and with a realizing sense of what was in store for them they were on hand in force. The banquet was spread in the art gal- lery on the second fioor, and the guests wete secuted around an immense circular table, which was gorgeously but tuste- fully decorated with flowers. At one side sat Mr. Chamberlin, and his opposite was Majcr Moses P. Handy. All were “good fellows” and the evening passed with a deal of juility, while wit and song were on tap in unlimited quantities. It gees without saying that the menu was complete and perfect in every par- ticular. Between the courses Maj. A. J. Stofer sang some of his best songs as only he can sing them, and the guests, like Oliver Twist, called for more. The guests were Secretary H. A. Herbert, Secretary John G. Carlisle, James K. McCammon, Gen. Bristow, James W. King, Dr. Edward Bed- loe, P. V. De Graw, James F. Barbour, M. T. Seckendorff, Frank 3B. Noyes, Gen. Frank C. Armstrong, S. H.

TWO OF THE BANDITS LOST THEIR LIVES The Meiee Lasted Only Three Minutes. A POSSE ON THE TRAIL Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., March 27.—The through passenger express train from Cin- cinnati on the Cincinnati Southern rail- road was held up this morning sixteen miles south of Somerset, near Greenwood, Ky., near tunnel No. 9, by a gang of train robbers, numbering six men. Two of the robbers were shot down, one instantly killed and the other died at 4 o'clock this morning. One’ was captured at Cumber- land and turned over to the station agent at that station. The captured man is wounded, At 2:30 o’clock Engineer Thomas Spring- field, in charge of the engine drawing train No. 3, was signaled to stop by a large man having a red lantern and giving the regu- lar railroad signals, near tunnel No. 9, He quickly brought his train to halt, and was immediately covered with a revolver in the hands of an unknown man, and told to stand until he was ordered to go. Three others started*for the express car, having inchesters in their hands, but, making a mistake, entered the baggage car. The company had been apprised some days ago that there would probably be a hold-up on the Ene shortly, and Detectives Chief Tom Griffin, Will Eddy of Oakdale and Will Osgood of Chattancoga were on the track looking out for the highway- men. When the train was stopped the detec- tives suspected the trouble, and Osgood alighted from the car in time to intercept one of the robbers, who was standing on the platform of the baggage car, making his way to the express car. Brisk Firing. A running fire was opened, which drew out the other highwaymen and the detec- tives. and a perfect fusillade followed. Pres- ently the firing from the robbers ceased, and when the smoke cleared away it was found that one of the robbers was dead and one mortally wounded. The wounded man was placed on a bank near the track and the train came on to Chattanooga and arrived in this city on time. The entire time taken up in the melee was just three minutes. ~ The detectives remained at the scene of action, and this morning a posse was in pursuit of the escaped bandits, supposed to ve three in number. A Capture. At Cumberland, four miles below the scene of the hold-up, a wounded man was found concealed in the tender of the en- gine, who proved to be one of the robbers. He was turned over. to the agent of the ccmpany. The captured man says he Is from Pennsylvenia, but refuses to give his tame or that of any of the others. Neither of the dead men has yet been identified, and it is supposed that they are strangers in the community. The express officials claim there was nothing of great value in their car, but recently they have been hauling valuables, and it is supposed this was known to the robbers. ——<—__ CURING MARYLAND INEBRIATES. The Act Making the State Their Guar- dinn Sustnined. ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 27.—The court of appeals of Maryland today confirmed the order of the superior court of Balti- more granting a mandamus compelling the mayor ard city council of that city to pay for the treatment of habitual inebriates committed to the Keeley Institute of Mary- land under the act known as the Avirett inebriate act, passed at the last session of the Maryland general assembly. The or- der of the superior court of Baltimore was affirmed with costs upon Baltimore city and the constitutionality of the law was sustained by a full bench. This ends one of the most remarkable struggles ever fought out in the legislature or courts of Maryland. The act sustained provides that any habitual drunkard or drug user in the state of Maryland who de- sired to be cured of his disease may come before any judge of the circuit court of the county of his residence, or the city of Bal- timore, if he lives therein, and petition the court to send him to a Keeley institute for cure. The cost of each case is limited to $100. No man can be treated the second time; but the act is mandatory in its pro- visions and compels the judge to give the prisoner at least one chance for his mental and physical restoraticn. About seventy-five men were cured under the law before its constitutionality was called into question by Baitimore city. A fight was then begun in the circuit court of Baltimore, which was decided in favor of the law. This was carried to the supe- rior court of Baltimore, and from thence Baltimore city appealed to the supreme court of the state. The Expenditure Involved. The decision rendered today involves, ac- cording to the estimates of the author of the bill, Col. Philip W. Avirett, formerly of Cumberland, but row of Washington, the expenditure of between $100,000 and $150,000 within the next few years to cure the ac- cumulated crop of inebriates now existent in Maryland. After this time, the author of the bill claims that a saving will be ef- fected, as he has statistics which show that 60 per cent of the crimes committed in Maryland are distinctly due to what he calls “rum offenses.” A pathetic feature of the decision is the fact that the author of the bill bankrupted himself in his fight to secure its passage and affirmation, as a result of which he re- tired from Maryland politics. Considerable speculation exists at Annapolis as to whether or not he will now return to the field of his former efforts. BAFFLES THE LAWYERS, Anna Dickinson Bea Cross-Exam- ination Wel SCRANTON, Pa., March 27.—Miss Anna Dickinson, who is suing G. B. Thompson and others for damages in the United States circuit court for imprisoning her in the Danville Insane -Asylum in 1891, has been on the witness stand for several days, undergoing cross-examination. She was the most brilliant witness ever on the stand in this city and by her evasions baffled the skill of the opposing counsel, Major Everett Warren. There were many sensational features, due mostly to Miss Dickinson’s marked peculiarities. The greatest sensation was caused when she refused to recognize Miss Susan Dickinson, who sat at the defen- dant’s table, as her own sister. She was finally compelled to admit that she was her own mother’s daughter, but they were sisters, she said, in flesh and blood only. The hearing for the defense will com- mence today. Anna Dickinson, the widely known writer and lecturer, has brought suit to recover $125,000 damages from James Courtright, George B. Thompson, Allen Eggleston, John S. Heilman, George Underwood and H. L. Bryden of Pittston, and Dr. James Ogelsby of Danviile, Pa., charging that her commitment to the Danville Insane Asylum in 1891 was the result of a conspiracy. She was kept there for five weeks. Shot Himself When Arrested. SAN FRANCISCO, Maren 27.—W. W. Carrington, a professed anarchist, com- mitted svicide in his room in the presence of police detectives who had Lim under ar- rest. He had been advertising for young and pretty girls, for whom he pretended he had situations. When told to accompany the ofhtcers to the police station ne stepped aside for a moment and blew out his brains. One of his victims was in the room at the time. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.
