Evidence They Did Not Expect in the Durrant Case. After wandering through a mass of un- important witnesses, the defense in the Durrant murder case at San Francisco yes- terday afternocn summoned to the stand two of the most important witnesses that bave been called since the prosecution closed its case. One of the witnesses ma- terlally aided the defense, from the fact that upon cross-examination he failed to give important testimony expected by the prosecution. The examination of the other witness had only just begun when the court took recess until this morning, but in the short time the witness was on the stand he testified to ore important fact which was directly op- posed to what the defense had hoped Lo es- tablish. on The most important witness was Chas. T. Lanahan, the young man whom the defense contends was mistaken for Durrant by Pawnbroker Oppenheim. Lanuhan, who does not bear a striking resemblance to the soner, said on April 3 he attempted to pawn a small diamond ring similar to the ore worn by Blanche Lamont at Oppen- heim’s shop. The witness said that he ask- ed Oppenheim the same questions and re- ceived the seme answers that Oppenheim quoted in relating the conversation he had with the young man whom Oppenheim tes- tifled was Durrant. Then came the surprise to the defense, which counteracted nearly all of the strength gained from witness’ testimony. Lanahan said he tried to pawn the ring in the afternoon, while Oppenheim testified that Durrant entered his shop in the morn- ing. Attorney Duprey was considerably discon- ceried by the statement of the witness, and endeavored to impeach Lanahan’s testi- mony by reading a letter written by Lana- han to the attorneys for the defense, in which he divulged the fact that he had tyied to pawn a small diamond ring at Op- petheim’s on the same day Durrant was said to have entered the place. The court interrupted Duprey, however, and refused to let him read only such parts of the letter as referred to the question at issue. Duprey asked that the letter be ad- mitted in evidence, and at the close of the strugele over this move court adjourned for the da: : The court refused to admit the whole let- ter in evidence, as some passages were de- voted to the expression of the writer's opin- jonas to the correctness of Oppenheim’s testimony. The remainder of the letter was admitted. With one exception, the remainder of the wit es were called to testify to the previous good repute of the defendant.

The reluctance of the house of deputles *of the Episcopal convention at Minneapolis to alter the report of the constitutional re- ision commission appeared again yesterday when two committees reported against the proposed amendments. One advised against pluralizing the word constitution all through the documents, and the other disapproved of the proposal to give dioceses under cer- tain conditions the right to cede parts of their territory and erect therein misslon- ary jurisdictions. The latter proposition, In: troduced by “airbanks of Florida, be pushed, nevertheless. Rev. Samuel Hart, custodian of the pr: book, presented a long report on the pi i the new edition from the standard approved. vitation of ouventicn, presented by H. je the fourth one receiv: .

BOARD OF TRUSTEES Business Transacted: at the Meeting Yesterday Evening. TH CONVENTION HALL CONCERT Getting the School Exhibit Down to Atlanta. : APPOINTMENTS AND CHANGES Considerable routine business was trans- acted by the board of trustees of public schools at its regular meeting yesterday evening at the Franklin building. There were present Messrs. Wilson, Darlington, Hazen, Cornish and Shad@ and Mrs. Stow- ell. In the absence of President Whelpley Mr. Wilson was made temporary chair- man. A letter was read by Secretary Falck from Mr. H. H. Burroughs, a teacher of the seventh grade in the sixth division, asking for indefinite leave of absence from September 1. It was explained that Mr. Burroughs was now teaching school in Scranton, Pa., But did not wish to =ntirely relinquish his position in the public schools of this city. Objection was made to the granting of his application, under the clir- cumstances, and the matter was referred to the trustec of the sixth division for in- vestigation and report. A communication was received from Mr. Jesse Lawson df the local committee on the Atlanta exposition, complaining of the action of the aughorities in failing to for- ward the cxhibifof the schools af the sev- enth and eighth divisions (colored schools) after-it had been properly prepared and arrangements made fer its transporta‘ion. He referred to the concert given at Con- vention Hall Jurfe 14 for the purpose of raising funds to meet the expenses of the exhibit, and said that while the affair had been apparently a success his committee had not veen able to obtain any satisfac- tion in regard to it. The lack of repre- sentation at the Atlanta exposition of the educational system of the national capital, he said, was a great disappointment to the interested tax payers of the District. Mr. Cornish explained briefly that the failure to send the exhibit was due entirely to the lack of funds. It was estimated that it would take at least $770 to send the ex- hibit to Atlanta in the manner desired by the division trustees, with a competent teacher in charge to explain it and see that it was properly cared for and returned in good condition. The exhibit, he said. was a valuable one, and they did not care to trust it entirely to inexperienced har for the concert, that, he said, tirely local enterprise, managed altogether by the teachers, and there was no reason why any report in regard to it should be made to the committee represented by Mr. Lawson. As a matter of fact, the expenses had been great, and tHe amount realized was less than $100, The District Commis- sioners had been fully? av as to the facts of the case, which was altogether be- yond the jurisdiction of the board of trus- tees, B cbs Without further discussion the matter was referred to a speeidil committee, con- sisting of Me: Wilson; Darlington, Bruce, Cornish and Sppdq- On mation of Mr. Darlfygton it was de- cided to Increase the attendance at the Normal School by one»puptl from the West- ern High School, two. from the Eastern High, School, and four from the Central High School. Mr. Shadd suggested that au- ity be gvien for a’ ¢orrespond.ng in- ed attendance az»the Colored Normal School, and it was so ardered. A Proniotie The question of the | ney of the En- #lish department of the Central High School caused by ‘the appointment of Prof. George tructor in English at ‘the Colum- sity, Was brofight up, and on mo- tion of Mr. Darlinstan, the assistant teacher ef English, Miss N.

Stringing Wires Stepped by the Police, but Men Say They Were Replacing Old Ones, As printed in yesterday’s Star, the case of Henry T. Pindy, superintendent of the Georgetown and Tenleytown electric road, charged with stringing, on 32d street, cer- tain electric ight wires, was set for trial in the Police Court Friday, but late yester- day afternoon representatives of the com- pany called on Prosecuting Attorney Pugh and asked for an immediate trial of the case. The reason for this was that the wires were exposed, and the company was not. certain what responsibility might be shouldered on them in case of an accident. The result was that Mr. Pugh had the witnesses summoned to court and the case was tried this morning. Sergeant Haney and several policemen were called as witnesses, and they told of the work of stringing the wires about 14 o'clock Sunday morning. According to the evidence of the officers, the wires they suw the workmen stringing were not trol- ley wires, but were put up parallel to the trolleys. One of the workmen told an officer they were to be used as electric light wires, and this was the charge in the information. Judge Kimbalf asked Mr. Pugh if, as the defense claims, these were only guard wires whether he would claim a convic- tion, and he said he could not claim acon- victign if the company had merely replaced the guard wires. - Only the Statement. “Whst proof have you that they were to be used for electric lighting?’ the court asked. “None,” said Mr. Pugh, “except the state- ment of one of the workmen, and that, I think; calls for an explanation .from the defense.” Lawyer Mackall, who represented the de- fendant, said he was willing that the matter shculd be explained, and called to the stand Mr. Oscar T. Crosby, who is president of the road. Mr. Crosby is one of the most ex- pert electricians in the country, and he ex- plained what work was done by the men Sunday morning. The work, he said, was done at that hour when the trolley wires were not charged, because it is not safe for the men to work so near the guard wires. The wires the men were putting up, he said, were guard wires, and were intended as a protection to the other wires. These guard wires, he explained, are strung a few inches above the trolleys, so that other wires which may “happen to fall will not ecme in contact with the lve wires and cause d4mage. Charge Dismissed. Witness expiained how the wires are put up and what danger might result from negligence on part of the company. He said that since March last the company bad been doing all it could to put the road in first-class shape, and were renewing te spans and preventing danger as much as possible. Mr. Pugh asked him-if the Tenleytown and Rockville road were not erecting an electric lighting plant, and he answered in the negative, adding: “They are building nothing other than mortgages.” That road, he said, was to have been sold teday, but an injunction was issued in the case, ‘and a postponement was found nec- essary. ‘The guard wires being strung on the oc- casion charged, It was shown, were mere- ly to replace old wires, and Judge Kimball dismissed the case. ee THE ELECTRICAL CONVENTION. It in to Be Held Here Next Month—a Novel Parade. Local Union No. 26, Electrical Workers, has received official notice from Grand Secretary-Treasurer Kelly of the National Brotherhood at St. Louis that Washing- ton has secured the convention by a hand- some majority, and that he has sent cre- dentials to all the unions anhouncing the fact that the next convention will be held here from November 11 to instead of the 12th to the I7th, as heretofore appoint- ed. It is understood that the arrangements being made by the convention committee of Local Union No. 26, Electrical Workers, for the convention are progressing finely. The large hall of Typggraphical Temple has been secured for the meetings, and the smaller rooms will be utilized for com- mittee purposes. From the information al- ready received, it is inferred that there will be about 125 or 150 delegates in attendance, representing unions in all parts of the country. The headquarters for the Geiegates will be at No. S27 7th street northwest, where in a short time a banner arnouncing the forthecming event will be displayed and arrangements completed for illuminating the front of the building during the ses- sicns of the convention with electricity. The Electrician, a paper published in Chi- cago, recently printed an article, intimating that ‘the members of the craft in Washing- ton do not know how to give a convention a greai send-off, and this fact having come to the knowledge of some cf the members of the union here, they have been spurred to greater activity than ever in the matter and are determined that the delegates shall have no cause to regret that Washington has been selected as the place for the bi- ennial meeting. % The subcommittee which has been col- lecting funds for the entertainment of the delegates have met with much encourage- ment from the business men they have called upon. « The following ts a part of the program so far adopted for the entertainment of the delegates: Monday, reception by the District issioners, with an address of welcome by one of the members, probably President Ross, immediately after which the conven- tion will be called to order by Grand Presi- dent Sherman of Rochester, N. Y. Tuesday, after the transaction of the business for the day, the delegates will visit the White House, and, it is expected, will be received by President Cleveland; the same evening the delegates and members of No. 26 will visit the National Theater; Wednesday, af- ter adjournment of convention for the d: the delegates will visit the Capitol and the fonal Library building, and in ing the members of the union and the delogates will be entertained at the Academy of Music. Thursday night an electric street parade, on which occasion, for the time, there will be seen on the streets a complete plant—engine, dynamo and switch board—the engine and dynamo running and furnfShing light to the car- riages containing the delegates to the con- vention and members of No. It is ex- pected that there will be many other so- cieties of organized labor in line, but the dynamo will not be heavy enough for other than the delegates and the others in the carriages to avail themselves of the elec- tricity generated by it. Friday will be occupied with business,and at night a banquent will be given the dele- gates by the members of Local 26, to which there will be invited a large number of prominent men, including many of the best known electricians in the United States and Canada; Saturday will be the closing day of the convention. Mr. Geo. E. Dunton has extended, through President John M. Berger of Local, No. 26, the use of his halls to the convention com- mittee for the delegates during the con- vention. —_—_ Gen. Craighil’s Return A telegram has been received at the War Department from Gen. Craizhill, chief of engineers, at St. Louis, saying that be will return to Washingion tomorrow. The se- lection of an officer to suceszed Gen. Poe, deceased, in charge of the Soo canal, will be deferred until his return GUARD WIRESITHE NEW DIOCESE A Oonvention to Be Held Here Next Month. ACTION OF THE GENERAL CONVENTION Bishop Paret Has Not as Yet An- - nounced His Decision. THE FUTURE IMPORTANCE tinny d Since it has been definitely and finally de- cided to divide the Episcopal diocese of Maryland and to make a separate diocese of the District of Columbia and some ad- jacent Maryland counties, the next step will be the calling of a convéntion of the new diocese. This convention will be called by Bishop Paret, and will be held in this city gome.time in November, probably the latter part of the month. It now develops upon’ Bishop Paret to make his choice of his future bishopric. He must decide whether he will remajn the spiritual head of the old diocese of Mary- land or assume that position for the new diocese. At this time no one knows what his choice will be, and it is the opinion of those among the clergy who are best informed that the bishop himself has not settled the matter in his own mind. He is at present at the Minneapolis con- vention, and {s a very busy man, and it is considered doubtful whether he will an- nounce his decision until after that con- vention, and when he can welgh the matter with care and deliberation. There ure im- portant considerations~ attaching to each diocese to influence his decision, and the scale Is pretty evenly balanced. The November Convention. Whatever his decision may be in this matter, Bishop Paret will call® the No- vember conventicn for the new diocese and preside over its deliberations. The dele- gates who were elected to the last con- vention in Maryland will be the delegates to the November convention. Of course this meeting will be only one-half as large as the gathering of last May, for the rea- son that the diocese has been split In half and only the delegates of the Washington diocese will be present. In the event that Bishop Paret shotild decide to remain in Baliimore the most important business be- fore tke convention will.be the election of the bishop of Washington. If the con- ventior"is called upon to take this action, it is thought the proceedings will be very interesting. The other business before the conven- tion will be the appointment of the regular standing committees and the committee for the preparation of canons and con- stitution to.be proposed for adoption at the next regular conventior of the diocese. It is thougat that the constitution and canons of the old diocese of Maryland will be adopted as a ground work for the new diocese and In fact may be decided upon almost in entirety, with possibly a few minor changes. It is probable that ‘an amendment may be proposed that the reg- ular annual convention of the diocese shail be held in the fall instead of in the spring. The city clergy are in favor of this change, principally for the reason that it will give impetus to the winter’s work. There will be no extraordinary changes in éither the canons or the constitution, however. Diocese of Washington. The new diocese of Washington is not a weak one numerically or otherwise. As a inatter of fact, it will take rank with some of the important ones. As organized it will consist of ihe District of Columbia and four counties in Maryland. These localities will furnish an important array of clergy, par- ishes and churches. In the District ther2 are twenty-one parishes and congregations apd twenty-eight churches. St. Mary’s county furnishes six parishes and thirteen churches; Priace George's county, ten par- ishes 4nd twenty churches; Montgomery county, six parishes and ten churches, and Charies county, four parishes and eight churches. The new diocese will assume some pres- tige from the fact that it includes the na- tional capital, and the bishop will share this prestige. The action of the Minneapolis convention in deciding to make no change in the house of ops puts an end, for the present, at least, to the discussion .of the probability of establishing the see of Washington and the office of primate. In the natural order of things, however, the diocese of Washington will’ gather added importance as time goes on, and if the church at any future time should decide to make a change in its present organization and establish a new head, the diocese of Washington will naturally be first in con- sideration. ———— Dr. Cooke Made a Medical Director, The President has appointed Geo.
