All That Has Been Proved is That Blanche Lamont is Dead. The taking of testimony in the trial of Theodore Durrant at San Franciszo is pro- ceeding slowly. During the three days in which witnesses have been on the stand all that has been established is that Blanche Lamont is dead, and that her body bears marks of violence. The prosecution fs inclined to make speed wasting time in unnecessary queries. On the other hand, the defendants seem to be threading uncertainties and searching for technicalities. In the cross-examination of witnesses the defendant's attorneys contin- ually throw out fishing lines, hoping to catch a discrepancy in the testimony. They are diligently seeking flaws, but as yet have not found anything. The police and detectives are still gath- ering testimony to Bivens then the prosecu- tion, It is now said the defense will rely largely on the improbawility of the pros- ecution proving its case beyond any doubt. Yesterday’s witnesses in the trial were introduced by the prosecution to complete the evidence that Blanche Lamont was murdered. Policeman Riehl, who accom- panied Detective Gibson to Emanuel Church on the day Blanche Lamont's body was discovered, testified to the condition of the corpse and to the presence of blood on the floor near the girl’s head, on the belfry stairs and on the floor, where it had dripped from the steps. He stated there was no evidence of a struggle there, the inference being developed by the defense that the murder was committed down stairs, but the body was carried to the tower. The defense will try to show that one man could not have borne this burden un- aided. Tke prosecution will try to prove that Blanche weighed only 110 pounds, and that Durrant could have carried her with little difficulty. C. G. Noble, uncle of Blanche, was re- called by the district attorney to again establish the identification of his piece, both in the church and subsequently the morgue, J. F. Hallett, a morgue deputy, told how he and another deputy had taken the body from the church to the morgue. Policeman T. J. Coleman swore that on April 14, when searching in Emanuel Church for evidence of the murder, he found two door knobs which had been broken off the belfry door and afterward concealed. THE SOCIAL WORLD All’s Quiet Along the Potomac Just Now. BUT WAIT FOR COMING EVENTS Some Romantic Weddings With an International Flavor. IN FOREIGN PARTS There is yet little indication of the return of summer wanderers, and West nd houses show only, here and there any evi- dences of life. In a fortnight, though, this condition of thitigs will have largely altered and the even tenor of events will be re- sumed, September is probably the dullest and least interesting month of the year in this city, as probably it is everywhere else as well, except at resorts where the turning of the leaf means the beginning of a new era. This may be said of Lenox, where several members of the diplomatic corps have already joined the contingent which, up to this, saw all the gayeties which mon- ey or fashion could secure at Bar Harbor or Newport. The big balls hay2 already commenced, and, with the usual program of eutdoor sports, to which additional en- thusiasm may be expected this autumn, the days, as well as the net will g0 by rapidly. The custom of fashionable marriages within certain periods seems to have been given the go-by. Any time is all right now, and any place, too. Only for this, Wash- irgton might have felt a little disappointed that the two international matches took ce in the quiet of retired summer homes tead of here, as might have been most reasonably expected. In the wedding of the Duke G’Arcos and Miss Lowery and Mr. Knagenhjelm,and Miss Wilson, the world was not made any the wiser till the event was over, and, in fact, so quiet were all the arrangements that even intimate friends could not have told the date in ad- vanes. If this is the new style, it presents many advantages over the old one, but it also limits the delightful conjecture and charming gossip in which everybody feels disposed to indulge where brides and grooms are concerned. Evidently a prac- tical era has commenced even in the realm of what used to be called sentiment. The summer has not been prolific of en- gagements, or at least the announcements are few and far between, Of the’ numoer which have assumed more or less credence in the public mind, it may only await the return of those whose names have been bandied about unnecessarily in these con- nections. to give the gossip an absolute quictus. Some enterprising venturerers in the land of romance have brought home unquestionably sure tokens of hearts won, but whether these ties are the sort which will stand the early frosts is as yet largely speculative with those who know them best. It is getting to be a very sensible thing not to announce engagements until the wedding day is actually settled and the arrangements therefor practically en- tered upon. In the light of recent events hereabouts, the wisdom of this course is clearly apparent, and within the last year has saved several young people of tender, but fickle disposition, any amount of em- sment when congratulations were ed snd they had long since changed the object of their heart's delight. The international phase of matrimonial plans is not over yet by any means—one of the most interesting in every way will take place next month, in all probability, and in this city. Matrimonially, as well a3 otherwise, the coming season promises to be as keenly interesting as was the last. Judge and Mrs, John Davis and Mr. and Mrs.Gray of New Ycrk have been at Hom- burg lately, and Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Gr: gave a dancing party one night last week. Clarence Mackay, son of John W. Mackay, led the cotillion with Miss Gray. who was a debutante last week with Miss Bessie Evidently Judge Dayis has greatly improved in health, for which purpose the journey was undertaken, as his family and relatives are in the lead of all the gayetles at this famous spa. The gayetles of the united kingdom cen- tered offigally last week at Dublin, when the Earl of Cadogan, the new lord leu- tenant, was host for the first time at Dub- lin castle and entertained deiightfully the hundreds of titled forelgners and traveling Americans, who were drawn to Ireland's capital city by the horse show. The weather was superb end the enthusiasm over Cadogan, who is an immense favorite with the gentry, was _no small feature of the fair every day. The vice regal party drove every day to the show in state, in handsome carriages, with showy livery and all the rest of the fol-de-rols, which give such a good impression on the road. Miss Bessie Steyens of Santa Barbara, Cal., anf’ Harris Spencer Ballard of New York were united in marriage at the bride's home last week. Mr. Ballard is the son of W. S. Ballard of Washington, D.C. They left after the ceremony for this city. The thirty-six Washingtonians who were included in Croffut’s excursion party have returned from their summer trip to Europe.

Happenings of Interest on the Other Side of Rock Creek. Rev. Mr. W. S. O. Thomas, pastor of the Baptist Church, is here again, after a need- ed rest at Ocean City, N. J. His pulpit will be occupied tomorrow morning. Dur- ing his absence the services were in charge of the deacons of the church. Tomorrow afternoon Mr. Thcimas, by special request from ladies of the vicinity, will preach at Bethesda Park, using the old pavilion as the place to speak from. Preaching will be at 3 o'clock. A series of undenomina- tional meetings are being held at the park. Good has already resulted, it is said, and judging from the interest being displayed, there 4s every 1eason to believe that the results will enlarge and be apparent al- ‘ways. Mr. Thomas reports that during his stay at Ocean City he heard and met the highly popular late pastor of the Dumbarton Church, Rev. Dr. Eliiott. His sermon, it is said, at the resort was a splendid effort. The famous “boy preacher,” Harrison, whose work here years ago excited great comment at Dumbarton, was also met by Mr. Thomas. The “boy preacher” is now nearly forty years of age. The Linthicum Students will come to- gether next Wednesday evening at their institute to map out the new season’s work. From an artistic standpoint, the coming productions will far exceed those of past years. Shakespeare will probably figure in every appearance of the popular organiza- tion.

Alexander of the West Street Presbyterian Church is at his charge again, after having recreated for some weeks. He will preach tomorrow. There was a small fire yesterday at 3600 M_ street, the property of Mrs. a Thecker; slight damage. Thomas Maloney, aged seventy-five, was arrested yesterday, charged with assault- ing lla Mcere.

Captain Burr, in his annual report sub- mitted to the Engineer Commissioner to- day, said: “Some steps have been taken during the year to improve the methods of mark- ing the names of streets at street corners. On streets lighted with gas and oil or naphtha the existing method of glass signs on the lanterns is perhaps as satisfactory as any other, although subject to the ob- jection that the glass signs are frequently breken and are expensive and slow to re- place. On streets lighted with electricity no entirely satisfactory method has as yet been found for this city. During the year a number of enameled street designa- tions were placed on buildings at street corners on Pennsylvania awenue. It can- not be said that the experiment has been satisfactory. The designations, while as large as practicaple, are not sufficiently legible, and difficulty is experlenced in finding suitable locations for them on build- Ings so that they may be seen from the feotwalk as well as the roadway. The great width of roadways, sidewalks and Parkjngs removes the buildings in many se3 to such a distance from the strset corner to be designated that this method of marking the corners cannot be universally satisfactory. Other methods will probably be tried in the near future.” ——.__ . Divorce Cnses Acted On. Judge Cox today granted Mary J. En: a divorce from Thomas W.

The second complaint made by Wash- ington Hesing, Chicago's postmaster, against the use of prize picture puzzles in the Chicago Times-Herald, has come to naught. Assistant Attorney General Thom- as, after giving the matter thorough con- sideration and treating Mr. Hesing’s state- ment, holds that the Times-Herald has kept within the rule against lotteries. Judge Thomas’ letter deciding the mat- ter is as follows: Hon. Washington Hes- ing, Sir: Replying to your communication of the 4th instant, I have to say that I still adhere to my former ruling that the scHeme of the Times-Herald of your city, offering prizes to those sending the best solutions of a puzzle, is not a lottery, there being degrees of excellence in the solu- tions. This is not an enterprise “offering prizes dependent on lot or chance” within the meaning of the anti-lottery statutes. On the contrary, the prizes are specifically made to depend on merit. Whether the prizes are awarded in good faith to those furnishing the best solution is a question of fact, which I can deter- mine only upon the evidence obtained by the inspector, and transmitted to me. The inspector, after a thorough and per- soval examination, reported that, in his opinion, the publishers of the Times-Her- ald do award the prizes fairly to those whom the judges appointed for that pur- pose hold aro entitled to them, under the terms of the offer. This report, as to the facts in the case, is conclusive on me and the department here. Yours respectfully, JOHN L. THOMAS, Asst. Att'y Gen. for the Post Office Dep't. —_____-e+-—_____ THE MORA CLAIM.

Following this, Williams drew a heavt 38-caliber revolver from his pocket ang remarked: “There's a good gun,” and ex plained that he had got it from a frien\ named Will, and he had kept away from Will the night before because he had his pistol. "Tagger took the weapon in his hand and began pulling the hammer rapidly. It was a self-cocker, and as the cylinder turned quickly around all of a sudden there was a report, and both men gave a cry of alarm, and Williams bent over and groaned. Mrs. McCauley was at market. There were two men upsiairs, but they did not hear the report. Tagger supported his friend, and they made their way through the base- ment to the street, the two women sery- ants accompanying them, and making a frenzied outcry. Tagger began to cry, and Williams groaned continually with. pain. Williams Sent to the Emergency, Dr. Minor, next door, seeing the two men, went to their aid and helped get the wounded man up to Hendershot's drag store, where stimulants served to make him a litle more comfortable. The Emer- gency Hospital ambulance was called, and in a few minutes took Williams to the hos- pital. Dr. Minor’s office boy took Tagger, weep- ing and moanirg in great distress at the thought of his unlucky deed, to the first precinct station, where he said he had shot aman and wanted to be locked up. He was placed in a cell, and kas sat crying all day, repeating over and over, “I didn't go to do it. I didn't go to do it.” At the Emergency Hospital it was found that the ball entered Williams’ abdomen on the right side, just at the diaphragm. A part of his suspender buckle was cerrted into the wound. The wound was a large and ugly one and bled copiously. The wounded man was unable to talk, but his friends at the McCauley house said le came from New York; that his father is dead, but his mother, a brother and sisters lived there. He worked last at the jewelers’ trade somewhere in Virginia. ——— Woman’s Naifonal Press Associntiom At 2 meeting of the Woman's National Press Association at the Riggs House last night announcement was made that Lie managers of the Atlanta exposition had tendered the association two days on the program.
