KILLED WITH A STONE Charles Sargent, the Bootblack, Held for John Williams’ Death, Result of a Street Fight—Testimony Developed at the Coroner's Inquest Yesterday. Coroner Hammett and a jury of six citi- zens heard the evidence yesterday afternoon in the case of the colored messenger, John Williams, who died at Freedman’s Hospital from the effects of a blow on the head in- flicted by Charles, alias “Buck,” Sargent, a colored bootblack. Precinct Detective Harti- gan, who made the investigation, was pres- ent at the inquest with witnesses whom he had secured. The prisoner, who has been under arrest for several days, was brought up from jail, and was present at the inquest to hear what was said for and against him. He is only sixteen years old. Messrs. O. D. Barrett and Edward G. Niles were present as counsel for the prisoner. Frank B. Williams, a colored boy, testified that on the day of the occurrence he saw the prisoner and deceased near 2d and B streets engaged in a quarrel. He saw no blows passed. John Bell, colored, who said he lived near Manassas, Virginia, testified that he knew John Williams, the deceased, at his home in Virginia. He came here less than two months ago and met Sargent. On the day the affair happened, he said, a number of them were standing on the Sidewalk talking. Williams left and went on up the street, and then a girl named Becky Tolliver appeared and asked what was the trouble. Frank Wil- liams had said that he (witness) had been talking about him behind his back, and they gathered there, one side to prove the asser- tion and the other to disprove it. When the discussion ended John Williams said: “It’s all ended,” and walked aw Witness did not see’ any blows pass between them. Frank Williams, brother of the dead_man, he said, had told him that John had at- tributed to him (witness) the Statement that Frank had been going to work ragged and dirty. i A Little Mixed. Rebecca Tolliver, a colored girl, testified that she saw the party standing on the cor- ner and she asked what the trouble was about. She then went in the store, and when she came out she saw John Williams run- ning down the alley. While he was running she saw Sargent throw a stone and strike him on the head. “Did he fall when he was struck?” asked a juror. “No, sir,” answered witness, ‘‘but he siag- gered.” “With what did Sargent hit him?” “Did you know Williams?” “Yes, sir, he was my brother's sister's child, my niece.” “Nephew, you mean?” queried a juror. “Yes, I guess so. I know I'm some kin to Later she concluded that he was her aunt’s son, and she reasoned that he must have been her cousin. “What part of the hesd was struck?” he back of his head.” She then said that Sargent struck her cousin with a piece of brick, and she saw him putting the pieces of brick in his pock- et. Witness was haif a square from them when the trouble happened. The affair, she thought, took place about o'clock in the afternoon, and when she first saw the boys they were standing at he corner of 3d and B streets. The Cause of Denth. Deputy Coroner Glazebrook testificd that he performed an autopsy on Williams’ body yesterday. The deceased was deformed and had but one He found several scars on the forehead which were from skin bruises. On the back of his’ head witness found a cut about an inch long, und be- neath this there had been a considerasle hemorrhage. There was a slight fracture of the skull. Hemorrhage, clot and cenges- tion of the brain were found. Deatn, he said, had resulted from the blow, which must have been a severe one. Precinct Detective Hartigan gave evidence concerning the arrest and statement of the prisoner, and Sargent, in his own behali, claimed that he acted in self-def. He asserted that Williams drew a razor on him before he threw a piece of coal or stone. The jury returned a verdict holdiag Sar- gent responsible for Williams’ death, and he was commitied to jail. ———— ‘Tried to Escape, Mollie Lewis, who is also known as Fra- zier, is seventeen years old and has been employed as a domestic at No, 2209 Wasn- ingion circle. Last even.ng her employ it is alleged, found her taking something that did not belong to her, and locked her in a room on the third floor to await the arrival of a pohceman. ‘The girl had no idea of waiting to get in trouble, and she enjoyed the novel experience of slid.ng down a standpipe. Waen she reached the ground sne was in pain, for not only had the sk.n been taken from her hand, but her back was injured. ‘Then she was taken to the Emergency Hosp:tal, where it was found that he juries were only slight, and she ‘as taken to the police station. Later the girl's employer dec.ded nut to prosecute her, and sae was released. pele} Stole a Bicycle. Thomas Snow, whose complexion sug- gests that he ought to bear another name, was arraigned in Judge M.ller’s court today for the theft of a bicycle belong:ng to Howard Cobey. There was not the slight- est doubt that the theft was committed only a few days ago, although Snow claimed to have owned the wheel for more than a year. He told conflicting stories in court and was given a sentence of six months, ——— The Feast of Holidays. Independence day had its inning in the “Feast of American Holidays” that are being celebrated by the women of the De- partment of the Potomac, W. R.

Anderson, the tableaux, songs and other were a splendid success. Colonel Blue, Congressman-at-large from made a rattling good Fourth of July talk that waked the echoes, and the beautiful flag drill and tableaux, prepared by+ Miss Minnie Roberts, added ‘the senti- ment to the evening. Oysters today and tonight and a musical program, in which Miss Ponn of Nebraska will appear as pianist, will close the successful week. —_—>-_—_ Anacostia Collision, M. Sandy, one of the locked-out Anacostia drivers, was given a hearing in the Police Court today, on a charge of colliding. He was driving one of the free coaches to An- acostia, and his vehicle collided with one of the Anacostia cars. Lawyer Sillers ap- peared for the defendant, and in his argu- ment called attention to the fact that the driver was a poor man and was unable to pay a heavy fine. In consideration of this plea the court imposed a fine of only $5. —— The Alaskan Boundary. The National Geographic Society was ad- dressed at ihe Cosmos Club last evening by Mr. Marcus Baker of the coast and gecdetic survey on “The Alaskan Boun- éary.” The next lecture of the course will be delivered December 13, at the Cosmos Club Hall.

He has handled intricate questions with rare skill and every way proved himself to be a talented man. —____-+-+ + __ For Shorter Campaigns. From Public Opinion. Considering both the number and the rep- resentative character of the newspapers that have engaged in the discussion, it can be safely said that the sentiment of the press is overwhelmingly, though by no means unanimously, in favor of shortening the campaign in so far as that can be ac- complished by fixing the date for the con- ventions two or three months later than has been the practice in the past. > = —___ The Evils of Monopoly. From the Philadelphia Press. Does anybody pretend that, had the three traction companies continued, they would have suffered any injustice with the privi- leges they enjoyed and the returns they had made? Yet with their continuance there would have been no aboliton of trans- fers and no increase of fare. It is only mon- opoly that has opened the way to this wrong. Monopoly cries hardship where competition was content and eager. It is, in our judgment, mi: business policy: it is mm , and it cannot stand before the storm of public protest and indignation. ——— ¢ = —____ Taylor and Hon.

Other Local Notes of General and Especial Interest to All Classes of Peaple. Thomas Henry and Harry Poss, two young men of this city, were locked up in the sta- tion house last nighticharged with robbing Mr. Alex. McClinteek, an old farmer, near Edsos, a small station on the Southern railroad about three miles south of this city. It appears that when Mr. McClintock was on his way home he was escorted by the two young men, who asked him if he could show them a place where they could cbtain lodging for the night. He volunteered to show them to a place, and as they were passing a small strip of woods one of them struck him, knocking him down. They then bound and gagged him and tied him to a tree, and, after going through him, they hastened back to the station and caught a freight train back to the city. When Mr. McClintock became conscious he managed to unloose himself, and returning to this city reported the matter to the police, who ar- rested Henry and Poss in a restaurant about 8 o'clock last night. Mr. McClintock says that they took hetween eight and nine dol- lars and a puir of pants and shoes, which he had in a bundle. Part of the money was found, also the pants and shoes, in tne pos- session of one of the men. This morning Mayor Thompson turned them over to the Fairfax authoritie: ‘The work of grading the ground on which the new shops of the Southern railway are to be erected is to be begun in a few da: The ground has all been platted. The plans for the uew shops are all completed, and a representative of the company, with the specifications for the buildings, left yester- Gay for Pittsburg, where he is to superin- tend the buiiding of the frames of the new buildings, which are to be constructed of iron with slate roofs, so that they will be absolutely fireproof. The new round house to be built will be semi-circular in form, and will have stalls for twenty of the largest of engines built. When this work is completed, it is expected that it will give employment to about 600 hands. This will be an increase of 40 hands over those now employed in the shop here. Will Ask Permission to Sell. It is expected that at the coming session of the state legislature a bill will be intro- duced giving the city and county of Alex- andria the power to sell at public auction the ccurt house and jail property, which is now held by the city and county as joint tenants, and over the possession of which there ts considerable dispute. This plan, it is thought, will save the expenses of a law suit, and settle the matter for once and all. County Court. In ths county court yesterday, Judge D. M. Chichester fresiding, the attachment case of George M. Clinedenst against Mat- thew Griffin was keard. The attachment in the case was abated and appeal noted, and a stay of sixty days granted. Court then adjourned until today, when the Hawkins case w'll come up for trial. Noten, There are now fifty*two prisoners in the city jail, of whom eight or ten are the gam- blers convicted at this term of the county court. Business along the river front is reported very dull just now, but it is expected to pick up in a day or two, when the Christmas trade begins. Today being St. Andrew’s day, special communion services were held in St. Paul's Episcopal Chureh at 7 o'clock.

C, Edwards,. colored, was yesterday held for the action of the grand jury on a charge of destroying government papers for the purpose of obtaining revenue stamps and signatures. Edwards, who was a mes- senger in the Treasury Department, was represented by Attorney John M. Langston and Ernest P. Baldwin, auditor of the treas- ury; Walter H. Hill of the secret service and Mr. Brown of the assay office testified. About 25,000 stamps are said to have been lost, of which, it is said, Edwards assisted in recovering about 20,000, and they were aracred to recelpts between the years 1862 and 1870. : 209999559009 655004040000009 Nerves Blood Are inseparably connected.

The executive board of the Knights of Labor, which has been in session continu- ously since the adjournment of the general assembly, at noon today had their business so well in hand that several of the members said, im talking with a Star reporter, that they expect to adjourn sine die before night. General Master Workman Sovereign, who presided at the meeting, was shown by a Star reporter, a copy of a dispatch from Toronto, stating that the Canadian Knights of Labor kad determined to secede from the international body of the Knights of Labor, and form a purely Canadian order. Mr. Sovereign said: ‘The district assemblies in Canada have received permission from the General Assembly of the order to form a provincial assembly, and this will probably be carried into effect, but this will not be secession, nor is it at all likely that seces- sion will occur. “The provincial assembly, if organized, will correspond in powers, etc., to those of a state assembly in the United States.” Mr. Thomas B. McGuire, a member of the executive board, who was present, said: “I notice from the dispatch that D. A. Carey, whose home is in St. Catharines, is spoken of as likely to be made the general master workman of the new order. Mr. Carey has not been a member of the Knights of Labor for several years, and can, of course, hold no position in the order.” Messrs. Kenny and French, who are aiso members of the executive board, said that a dispatch similar to the one shown them by the reporter sent out once a year from some Canadian city, but that is the last that is heard concerning the alleged new organization until another twelve months roll around. The indications are that General Master Workman Sovereign will have a large audi- ence tonight at Metzerott Hall to hear” his lecture for the benetit of the locked-out drivers of the Anacostia Railway Company. Arion Singing Society Concert. The opening concert and ball of the Arion Singing Society will take place Mon- day evening next at Masonic Temple, cor- ner 9th and F streets northwest: The so- ciety will be assisted by the Columbia Zither Club, and an unusually elaborate program has been prepared for the occa- sion. These events of the Arions in the past have always been enjoyable affairs, and it is expected that the coming enter- tainment will in no wise fall behind its pre- decessors in that line. At the conclusion of the program the floor will be cleared for dancing. Linden’s Orchestra will open the concert with two overtures and will play for the ball. A number of musicians prom- inent in German life in this city will ren- der selections, while the chorus of the so- ciety, which has been augmented and strengthened in every part, will be heard .to advantage.
