A POSTPONEMENT UNTIL MONDAY The Defense Will Be of a Vigorous Character. THE ALLEGED CRIME Correspondence of The Evening Star. LA PLATA, Md., June 25, 1895. This staid village, recently brought some- what into prominence by being made the county seat of historic Charles county, witnessed its first real excitement for many a day yesterday afternoon, when occurred a rather spicy preliminary to the trial of -Mrs. Belle Farrall, accused of the nurder of her husband, Frederick Farrall, by strychnine poisoning in December last. As stated in The Star yesterday, and in fulfillment of a promise made by her at- torneys, Mrs. Farrall, after remaining in hiding since the date the indictment was found against her, reached La Plata on the evening train Saturday last and was immediately taken into custody by Sheriff Albrittain and removed to his residence, at Port Tobacco. The trial, after a postpone- ment from last month, was fixed for yes- terday. But a very short tsme has elapsed since La Plata arose to the dignity of the county seat, it being on the seventh day of June that the announcement was officially pro- mulgated declaring this village to be the winner over Port Tobacco and Chapel Point in the race for the honor, and there- fore the community does not boast of a court house, but modestly states that such a structure will be in evidenze as soon as it is possible to erect it. As a substitute, however, the town hall was yesterday pressed into seryice to hous2 the initial judicial proceedings ever held in La Plata. The hall is of good size and is situated but a few rods from the railroad station. : Everybody There. Making a generous allowance there were Probably not half a score of the citizens of the hamlet absent from court yesterday, while visitors from a distance drove in with vehicles of unlimited descriptions, Everybody reached the scene early in order to secure a seat, but nevertheless quite a number were forced to stand. Court opened with Judge Briscoe and Judge Brooks on the bench and J. S. Mat- thews as state's attorney. The first trial ever held in La Plata was that of a negro accused of the larceny of practically every known article from a vest to a plano. In- terest attached to the hearing because the attorney for the defendant was Col. L. A. Wilmer of counsel for Mrs. Farrall. A verdict of not guilty was returned. Mrs. Farrall Cool. - Early in the afternoon the sheriff drove up with Mrs. Farrall and conducted her to a seat in the hall, the spectators regarding the alleged murderess with curiosity and something akin to awe as she entered. Mrs. Farrall was attired in black and wore a black saiior hat. Her appearance was provokingly cool, the accused presenting probably the least concerned exterior of any person in the crowded room. Col. L. A. Wilmer and ex-Congressman S. E. Mudd were on hand to legally look after Mrs, Farrall,while the commonwealth was repre- sented by State's Attorney J. S. Matthews and Mr. John Mitchell. Postponement Granted. The lengthy indictment was read to the prisoner,and after she had pleaded in a firm tone“not guilty,’’and demanded a jury trial, Col. Wilmer asked a postponement on the ground that the state had summoned cer- tain witnesses of whom the defense had rot been informed, and that it had been impossible to. secure the attendance of cer- tain other witnesses. Mr.Matthews admitted that he was not quite ready to go to trial, so upon the attorney’s guarantee that all would be in readiness to proceed Monday next, July 1, a postponement was ordered to that date. Before doing so, however, the court took occasion to make some rather abrupt remarks to Col. Wilmer, go direct that the latter, as he stated to me later, swallowed a considerable quantity of to- bacco juice in a successful endeavor-to con- trol his rising passions. Mrs. Farrall was taken back to Port Tobacco, and this vil- lage resumed {ts normal state. Lengthy Tria The trial, it is conceded, will occupy fully a week. The general trend of senti- ment among the residents of the county seems to be derogatory to the prisoner, as, it is claimed, at the coroner’s inquest the facts were clearly established that Mrs. Farrall purchased a quantity of strychine shortly before the demise of her husband, and that she administered the poison to him. Yet, as a rule, the people are inclined to be perfectly fair, the majority patiently waiting to hear the other side of the story. All connected with the case have become cmeucueye by continually declining to say anytM™ng in relation to it, but in a lengthy conversation last evening Col. Wil- mer, who.is a'typical southern Marylander, inadvertently acquainted me with several points worthy of note. Believes in Muscle. “I could have quashed the indictment,” said the colonel, “on the ground that two members of the grand jury that returned it also served on the coroner's jury, but that would only have caused delay and we want a speedy trial. The attorney for Mrs. Farrall stated fur- ther that seventy-five per cent of the wit- nesses for the prosecution have been sum- moned as witnesses for the defense. The trial promises not to be dull, for, said Col. Wiimer: “I am going to give them hades; I'll handle them without gloves, and in my argument I'll reply to what the court said to me today. You must not be absent when I get Jim Matthews, the state's attorney, on the stand, for examination. fied before the coroner's jury, that he testifies at this trial. He'll squirm, Col. Wilmer in addition said that he be- lieved in fighting legal battles like the one to occur next week, with m as well as with brain, It is apparent that the Far- ll murder frial, which is to begin Mon- next will be, from more than one ipoint, a notable event in the history of Charies county, Md. The Alleged Crime. The alleged crime has attracted wide- spread attention. Mr. Farrall was a prom- inent and influential citizen of Charles cevnty, being a brother of the deputy col- lector of internal revenue in Washington, D. Mr. T. R. Farrall. He also has an- other brother there, while Mrs. Fai is a sister of Mrs. T. R.

Farrall was a man who had experienced little or no sickness. Soon after December 1, however, he contracted a severe cold, and on the advice of a physiclan,purchased some quinine, with which he doctored him- self for two days. On the third day, feel- ing worse, he remained in bed, and during the evening asked his wife for a small dose of the drug, so it is said. She gave him some bitter powder, which he swallowed and scon became vidtently ill A physician was summoned, and, although knowing the case to be hopeless, managed to keep the patient alive for twelve hours by injec- tions of morphine. Mr. Farrall died about 7 o'clock the following morning. Mr. T. R. Farrall, after the death of his brother, went to Hughesville, with the { tention ‘of investigating ‘the alleged poison- ing of the deceased, and on the advice of Dr. Hammett, the coroner at Washington, secured the ‘services of Dr. Edward M. Schaeffer, an expert, who performed an autopsy one week after the interment of the body, and found enough strychnine in the stomach to have killed a whole family. The coroner’s inquest and the indictment of Mrs. Farrall followed. * TOUCHING SERVICES. Carleton Snell Laid Away to His Last . Rest. Garden Memcrial Church, Anacostia, al- though capable of easily accommodating 400 people, was entirely inadequate to hold the multitude of mourning friends who as- sembled there yesterday afternoon to pay the last sad tributes of respect to the mem- ory of the lamented Carleton E. Snell, the particulars of whose untimely death were recorded in yesterday's §tar. - The audience was composed of the entire adult population of the town who could leave their places of business, many per- scns from Washington and a considerable number who had come from a much great- er distance. Among the prominent men present were Rev. James McLaren, pastor of the Anacostia M. E. Church; Rev. Hugh TT. Stevenson of the Anacostia Baptist Church, Rev. Geo. E. Stevenson of East Washington Heights Baptist Church, Rev. Mr. Bowman and Rev. Mr. Bradford of the Indian bureau, hington. The services, which were peculiarly touching, were conduetedsby Rev. J. B. North, the pastor of Mr. Snell, by whom the former was much beloved, assisted by Rev. Dr. G. B. Patch, pastor of Gunton ‘Temple Memorial Church, Washington, and Rey. Mr. Bradford of Washington. After a beautiful and pathetic invocation had been offered by Mr. Bradford, Dr. Patch-read the Scripture lessons appropri- ate to the solemn occasion, and then Miss Ccra McLean of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Anacostia, in a most touching and effective manner sang as a solo “Nearer, My God, to Thee,”” which was a great fa- vorite with Mr. Snell. The sermon was brief and was preached by Mr. North. At the close of the sermon Miss McLean sang another favorite hymn of Mr. Snell's, “Asleep in Jesus, Blessed Sleep, From Which None Ever Wake to Weep.” At the conclusion of the services the re- mains were conveyed to the Congressional cemetery and placed in a vault, where they remained until this afternoon, when, after an appropriate service by Mr. North, they were consigned to their final resting place. The floral tributes filled a hack, and among many others, all of them of a most exquisite character, were comprised an open Bible, thirty inches square, composed entirely -of white roses, with a book mark of purple flowers, sent by the Webster fam- ily; a piece made of white and Mermot reses, the gift of the Christian Endeavor Society, of which the deceased was at the time of his death president; wreath of rare flowers, sent by the Junior Soclety of the Epworth League of the Anacostia M. E. Church; handsome bunch of white lilies from Mr. H. A Linger, sr.; wreath from Miss Carrie Golden; pillow, inscribed “Eter- al Rest,” Mrs. S. E. Poates; bunch of carrations and medias, Mrs. A.B. Garder; floral piece, composed of La France roses, from Mr. D. E. Freeman, and many others. —— AMUSEM New National Theater.—One of the pret- tiest of all curtain raisers is J. W. Jones’ “On an Island,” and no two people on the stage are any better fitted for it or can play it better than Mr. Joseph Wheelock, jr., and Miss Mary Sanders, and they open- ed the fifth week of the comedy season at the National last night with it, to the ad- miration of one of the largest, if not the largest,audience of the season. ‘Forbidden Fruit,” one of Boucicault’s best, for those who like the vigorous and exaggerated style of humor, was the play, and though it is not as new as it once was, and lacks many of those qualities which improve with age, still tt went well and made peo- ple laugh, and laugh again. Mr. Coote was the Cato Dove, done well, but not one of Mr. Coote’s best efforts, and the very pretty Mrs. Dove was Miss Lawrence. Mr. Hudson's Sergeant Buster was robuster than usual, but was done with Mr. Hud- sou’s always careful manner, while Mrs. Pitt, as Mrs. Buster, completed the duo with admirable finish. Mr. Mackay’s Capt. Berringer was handsome, and Mr. Bowser, in the not very comprehensive part of the head waiter, wore an apron and served the guests, which no head waiter ever does in first-class places. A delightful breeze of freshness was the Miss Zulu of Miss Mary Sanders. Mfss Didben was a cute barmaid, and the parts of guests, passengers, etc., Were assumed with great success by Misses Harrison, Cleaver, Stebbins, Phillips, Boyer, Rogers, Zell, Boley, Ward and Morris and Messrs. Gideon, Foster and Hutson. The Chinese Fireworks.—There is a big temporary sign over a store on the avenue which reads “Fireworks. Bathing Suits.” It means, of course, that as the Fourth of July is approaching and the seashore sea- son is already at hand, these two articles are now in demand. Back of that, though, lies the interest of those who attended the Chinese Fireworks at the National Base Ball Park Friday, Saturday and Monday evenings. Monday was all right, except as to a few thunderous threats, but Friday and Saturday a bathing suit’ was the ap- propriate apparel to attend the fireworks in, Fireworks that have been thoroughly sprinkled lack ambition and it is difficult to fire their dampened ardor, but the Chinese contingent did the best ‘they could and finally got off all their fireworks. Last night's show, being somewhat in the na- ture of a supplement, was not so well at- tended, while the works were better than usual.’ A Chinese set-piece firework is fearfully and wonderfully made, and a map and diagram are necessary to give it that lucidity which must accompany a pyrotechnic to make it intelligible to the observer, but no maps are required when it comes to the shooting cracker business. In this department of pyrotechnics a China- man’s Fourth of July permeates his en- tire system from his cork soles to the ultima thule of his perennial pigtail. He pops and blazes, and bangs and splutters, and fizzes and clatters in a way to disturb all creation and lop over into the suburbs. He-hangs his shooting crackers in a string to a pair of high poles, and fires the loose énd of it. Then up the string the poppers go like serpents of fire, eaploding at the rate of a hundred a second, and at the top a million go off at once, with a spasmodic unity of bang that is simply appalling. But that is the Chinaman’s idea, and the noise fills his guileless soul with a quiet atisfiedness no English language can ex- After the show last night certain pre: vandals, with a desire for souvenirs, swoop- ed down on the set pieces in their boxes and Japanesed a large number of the dolls which are used in the pyrotechnic tableaus and carried them awa eS eS Police Court Loafers. Four able-bedied men were hauled into the Police Court today and charged with loitering on the sidewalk in front of the court building, thereby obstructing the free passageway of the walk.

For a long time the crowd of loiterers has been so large that it has been almost {Impossible for respectable people to pass without walking out in the street, but the officers of the court, as well as the policemen on the beat, have paid very little attention to them.

DISTANCE TQ LANGDON One of the Matters Wensidered. at Last Night's Meeting. 2 Northeastern ‘Suburbhn Citizen: As- sociation Transacts Business— Parks for the, Section. The spacious meeting room of St. Barna- bas’ Mission in Langdon Hall was well filled at 8 o’clock-last: evening, when Mr. John W. Watson, president, called the Northeastern Suburban Citizens’ Associa- tion to order. fteports were due from sev- eral committees, among them the commit- tee having in charge the proposed prosecu- tion-of the B. and O, Railroad Company before the interstate commerce commission, and delegations were present from the sta- tions between Langdon and Washington, all of which claim to have been discrimi- nated against in the matter of distances and commutation rates. On a large black- board in the rear of the hall some artist in chalk had drawn a picture of a sub- urban train ‘of cars, labeled the cars with the name of the citizens’ association, and under it was written the present war cry of the organization: “Commutation rate from Washington to Ivy City, Winthrop Heights or Langdon, $6 per quarter.”” After disposing of the minutes cf the pre- ceding meeting, Secretary Henry S. Sutton read a report from Dr. L. C. Loomis, chair- man of the committee appointed to confer with the District Commissioners relative to the public reservations in the northeast- ern section, under the proposed extension of streets. The report reviewed the situa- uon exhaustively, calling attention to the reasons why the northeast should receive greater consideration than other sections in the matter of small parks or breathing places. The claim was made by Dr. Loomis that other sections already had access to the larger reservations already established, while this neighborhod alone was without play grounds of any kind. The Commis- sioners, so said the report, recelved the suggestions of the committee courteously and practically approved the selection of a number of natural groves of large trees for publit reservations. The Commission- ers requested the suburban association to indicate at an early day their wishes re- garding the whole street and park plan for that section of the District represented by them. The report of the committee was re- ceived and adopted, and President Watson appointed Dr. L. C. Loomis, A. M. Dewey, Ira J. Baker, A. E. M. Lawson and A. E. Berry a comthittee to locate suitable groves of trees for recommendation to ‘he Com- missioners. The Railroad Question. A. M. Dewey, from the committee on transportation, reported, presenting a com- munication from the interstate commerce com=issicn,in which the commission stated that the complaint of the association had been considered, and the railway company had been asked for a statement of their side of the controversy. This letter from the commission had been received several days ago, but nothing further had been heard from the railway authorities. The statement was made by the committee, however, as probably: bearing on this sub- ject, that the engineer department of the railroad had during.the past week sur- veyed the line from: Baltimore to Wash- ington, and one of the surveyors had stated to a citizen of Langdon that the mileage as shown by the compamy’s schedules was just one mile out of the’ way, which would bring Langdon just 8.1 miles from Wash- ington, instead of 4.1,as shown by the dis- tance schedule in use, and on which the present commutation rate of $7.50 per quar- ter is based. = Committees Anmounced.

Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock fire was discovered under the roof of the house of Mrs. McCloud, matron of the sixth precinct police station, No. 102) Maryland avenue. An alarm was turned in by a citizen and the flames were soon extin- guished. The house, which was insured, Was damaged to the extent of $300, while Mrs. McCloud’s loss amounts to about $150. Later in the evening two alarms were sounded, one from box 124 and the other from box 125. There was no fire either time, and it is supposed that the false alarms were turned in from the keyless boxes. —— $1.25 to Baltimore and Return Via all B. and O. trains June 29 and 30.— Advertisement. eeeteepa ene neeteeetentetees Blood Will Tell Most surely upon the condition of the phystcal system.
