A Removal Asked for in Order to Gain Time — The Prisoner Shows Deep Feeling. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LA PLATA, Charles County, Md., May 23.—Joseph Cocking, the alleged murderer of his wife and sister-in-law, Miss Duisy Miller, at Hill Top, just one month ago, will be tried at Leonardtown, St. Mary’s county, at the September term of the court, having sworn that he thought ie could not get justice in this county. When the circuit court convened in the town hall the prisoner was brought in and put in an Improvised dock. _ Hig two days in the Port Tobacco jail had changed him considerably, and instead of being the corfident mat he was while in the Bal- timere jail he was very much dejected and seemed unable to look into the faces of the curious throng which filled the court rocm. He was nervous and apparent.y w and seemed to fear that Sherif Wade might not be able to do his duiy should an emergency arise. When the time for arraignment was reached tke prisoner was directed to stand with right hand uplifted, and this he did only after a great effort. He was pale and looked as if every friend had for- saken him. Once he managed to lift his eyes and look at the court, but almost instantly they dropped and were again fix- ed at some imaginary thing on the fleor. The indictment charging the murder of Miss Miller was first read, and when Clerk Turner, in the usual form, asked what he had to say, the prisoner Tespond- ed: “Not guilty, and I desire to be tried by my county.” Evidence of Feeling. The ejected man was then given a seat while the clerk made the record in the case, ani then the indictment charging the murder of his wife was read. When his wife's name, Fannie, was mentioned the prisoner showed that he was more affected than he had been by the mention et Miss Miller's name. His nervousness Wes more pronounced, and he moved first one foot and then the other, as If he were getting weaker. A plea similar to the one in the former case was entered and the case was then squarely before the scurt. State's Attorney Posey announced that he would be ready to proceed for trial on Morday. In the meanwhile the prose- cuting officer had asked for the appoint- ment of assistant counsel, and Colonel L. A, Wilmer was designated to assist him. Mr. John Grason, counsel for the alieged murderer, resisted the motion gf the coun- ty officer and asked for a week's contin- uance. He spoke of the grave charge against his client and said that a case in- volving so much, a man’s life, should not be tried without giving the prisoner the fullest opportunity to prepare his defense. “I have not had time to prepare the de- fense,"" he argued, “and I also have «a case in Harford on “Monday.” The judges held a brief consultation, and then Judse Briscoe announced the decision. “In this case,” he said, “a murder kas been committed, and, as in all other cases, the court is willing to accommodaie coun- sel on both sides. But this crime was com- mitted a month ago, and the prisoner has had ample time to consult counsel, and we think he should be ready for trial. A Removal Ordered. At the request of Mr. Grason, the prison- er was permitted to retire to the constlta- tion room with his counsel and his brother, Mr. John Cocking. After two hours’ con- sultation, the party returned, and Lawyer Grason anndunced that he would ask for a postponement of the case for two weeks. If a postponement cannot be had, then he would have to ask for the removal of the case to anuther county. Judge Briscoe told him that he had that right. and an affidavit slgaed by Cocking to the effect that he thought he could not get a fair trial was presented. Upon this affidavit the court acted, and ordered the removal of the case to St. Mary's county, where the next term of the court will con- vene in September. The action of the court ‘n removing the case to St. Mary's instead of to Baltimore was much of a surprise to counsel for Cocking as well as to Cocking nimself. The latter was also surprised when he learned that the people here thought a change of venue had been asked for the reason that he was afraid to stand trial neve. ‘This he denied, and claimed that he only did so in order to gain the time necessary te prepare his defensi Sheriff Wade said he felt perfectly com- petent to take care of the prisoner, and took him to the Port Tobacco jail instead of sending him back to Baltimore. When the court had made the order of removal, citizens generally expressed their ind'gna tion at what had been done because of the expense the change will incur to the coun- ty. There were some forcible remarks made which would not have been at all comforting to the prisoner had they reach- ed his ears. During the day Mr. John Miller, brother- in-law of the prisoner, called at the jail in Port Tobacco with the five-year-old son of Cocking, who saw his father for the frst time since the night of the horrible double tragedy. —————__- PROSPERITY OF WIMODAUGHSIS. An Interesting Review of the Educa- tional Work of the Year. The annual meeting of stockholders of Wimodaughsis was held Thursday after- noon and evening. The plan of work for the ensuing year was discussed. It is in- tended to continue all the classes on the usual plan. Nominations for three direc- tors were made, to take the places of Mrs. Mary Bennett, Mrs. Ofterdinger and Miss Garst, whose terms of office expire. Out of twelve names placed in nomination, Miss Garst, Miss Kubles and Mrs. Hamilton were elected, each for three years. There were 588 votes cast. The annual report of the president, Mrs. Jeannette Bradley, showed that the organization had been self-supperting during 1895. Miss Gillet, chairman of the house committee, stated that 460 students had been enrolled during the year. The house committee, through Mrs. Dickerson, showed a satisfactory con- dition of everything pertaining to house- hold economy. The magazine section, under Miss Garst’s supervision, has also done well. Subjects under discussion have been ‘Women as Related to Magazine Writ- ing.” “Women in Science,” “Vacation Reminiscences,” ‘Progress of Socialism,” “The Saivation Army Movement,” ‘Trades Unions,” “Co-operative Igsurance,” “Trans- portation—And What Electricity Has Done and {s Doing for Transportation.” The Academy of Forty reported on the work of the year. The sessions have been de- voted to conversation, without notes. The topic ig announced in advance, and each member is prepared to treat it from her vn standpoint. Among the topics dis- ed have been “Conversation,” ‘Mis- “Charit, “Economy,” ‘‘Longev ‘Concentration Narrowness,”" “Justice,” “Time,” “Slavery” and “Joy of Life.” A vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Cameron, chairman of ways and means committee, also to Mrs. Dickerson, chair- man of the hotse committee. A rising vote ot thanks expressed gratitude to those who contributed to make the recent art loan exhibit a success. The new directors were introduced. ——_—.___ 100 ft. boards, $1; any length you want. F. Libbey & Co., 6th and N.Y. av.—Ad. Moonlight Nights on the Potomac. To Marshall Hall, beginning Sunday.—Ad.

A MILITARY TREAT. Light Battery Drills and Foot Battery Reviews at the Washington Barracks Fort Myer is no longer to have a mo- nopoly as to military display in this region. The cavalry drills at the army post across the river have been extremely popular, and have attracted large crowds of residents and visitors on the days devoted to ex- hibitions of equestrian excellence. Now the Washington barracks garrison proposes to take a hand in the game: A light bat- tery drill is an extremely interesting, spec- tacular and even exciting performance, while reviews and dress paraies arouse a great deal of enthusiasm among speo- tators. Commencing Monday next there will be weekly opportunities for the public to see how the artillery arm of the regular serv- ice keeps itself in trim. At 4:30 p.m. Ight battery C, third United Sta‘es artillery, commanded by Capt. J. M. Lancaster, will occupy the light battery drill ground for one hour. At 4:30 there will commence a review and dress parade of the foot bat- teries of the fourth artillery, which regi- ment has its headquarters here. From 4 o'clock until 5 there will be a concert by the Fourth Artillery Band. The variety of the exercises is likely to tempt many Washingtonians to the barracks Monday. ——.>—. CADETS’ DRILL. THE A Splendid Exhibition by the Mortons at Allen’s Opern House. The Morton Cadets, the champion mili- tary company of the United States, was tendered a testimonial reception at Allen's Grand Opera House last night, at which the team showed to numeroas friends that it was not a difficult task to win the cham- pionship at the recent drill at Savannah. The company appeared at the ends of the halves of the program, and was greeted en- thusiastically, every movement and evolu- tion being the signal for a spontaneous outburst of applause. The company ap- peared in the first part in its distinctive black uniform, with four full fours, front and rear rank, but without tile closers, the guides being Secont Sergeant A. W. Schilling and Third Sergeant Harry Sis- son. Captain Shilling put his command through several difficult’ movements, al- though he was, of course, hampered by the size of the stage. The manual, how- ever, and movements in fours were given with precision and snap that left no room for doubt of the company’s ability to put up a masterly drill. In the second part the company appeared in white duck trous- ers and black coats, the uniform worn on the field at Savannah. In this part the last four was cut out, leaving the com- pany three fours with which to accomplish the double-time movemen This w: made necessary by the size of the stage. Captain Shilling showed wonderful com- mand over hiy men, and used every inch available of the space at his disposal. The alignments and precision of the com- pany were accurate to a superlative de- gree, and the appearance of the boys w: all that could be desired, the company pre- senting a front that would have given them instant credit at an inspection. ‘The Mortons were assisted by well-known local talent, the rema r of the perform- ance being fully as enjoy as the dritt’ Helmunn gave a clever illusion act hibiting his Noah's ark and flag trick. Mr. Aaron Stern gave imp=rsonations of well-known actors that were far above the average in that line, and he was re- called enthusiastically. Miss May Blossom did an exceptionally pretty song and dance turn, and was rewarded by_a tribute of flowers. A musical tramp specialiy that was laughable in the extreme was contrib- uted by X-Ray Bixley, while William H. Conley convulsed the audience by his work in the character sket nce Katie Got Struck on the Stage." Miss Alice Judson sang Arditi's waltz song, “Parlia,” winning the favor of her hearers at her first appearance. The incidental music was furnished by the full strength of the Mt. Pleasant Field Band, which rendered several selections in good style. The stage was under the direction of Mr. William Boag. Mr. Ed. Muth of the Mortons aud Mrs. D. W. Burbank added much to t success of the evening by their work as accompanists. —— Sudden Death of Wm. P. Slater. Heart trouble caused the sudden death yesterday afternoon of William P. Slater, who was employed as a bookbinder at the government printing cffice. While passing along G street between 24 and 3d streets shortly after % o'clock, Mr. Slater, without warning, fell to the sidewalk. The sixth precinct’ patrol wagon was summoned and physiclans called, but life was extinct within a few moments after the fall. The deceased was sixty years of age and resid- ed, with his wife, at 715 2d street north- east. Mrs, Slater was almost prostrated with grief when notified of the death of her husband. ——— Observance of Saturday Holidays. To the Editor of The Eveving Star: Referring to an interview with a clothing salesman, published in The Star of Tues- day, bearing upon the subject of the ob- servance by the business houses of Decora- tion day as a holiday, falling as it does on Saturday, we want to say that his senti- ments find indorsement with us. We want our employes to enjoy every privilege con- sistent with the proper conduct of a big business and the accommodation of the public. There are few enough halts in the every-day march of life, and we should dislike to deprive our army of clerks of the pleasure of a few hours’ outing because the holiday happens to fall upon Saturday. If the closing can be general, then the interests of none will suffer. We will wil- lirgly delegate one of our men to act with a committee of clothing clerks in circulat- ing a petition among the merchants agree- ing to close at 1 o'clock upon Saturday, May 30, and July 4, and ff our action will have any weight in influencing others, we will gladly head the list. We feel sure the purchasing public will lerd a helping hand by regulating their shopping to suit such action. SAKS & COMPANY.

It seems that the official awart: of the Galveston cup to the Morton Cadets at Sa- vannah has by no means closed the long- drawn-out dispute regarding the trophy. The oup is understood to be still in the pos- session of the Thurston Rifles of Omaha, Neb., and that company bids fair to retain possession thereof until it is foreibly com- pelled to relinquish its hold. Capt. Shil- ling of the Morton Cadets intends to offi- cially notify Adjutant General Mabry of Texas, the custodian of the cup, that his company was awarded‘the trophy at Sa- vannah, but beyond that action will take no steps whatever toward getting hold of the championship emblem, leaving the mat- ter wholly with Gen. Mabry. Though keeping rather quiet just at pres- ent the National Fencibles mean to fight the issue to the final stage, and as soon as Gen. Mabry moves to secure the cup from the Thurston Rifles, Capt. Domer’s com- mand will formally advance in the matter. There is no ditficuity between the Fencibles and the Morton Cadets, the position of the Fencibles being that Gen. Mabry erred in crdering the cup to Savannah, and on that contention mainly they will rest their case, although a number of other points are held in reserve. - —_-.—__- HE FILED OFF THE CHAIN. Col. “Bill” Sterett's Dilemma Over a Wheel. : Col. W. G. Sterett has become a skiliful bicyele rider, and is enthusiastic over the merits of the wheel. He has one of the best machines in town. The other day he was in a hurry to get down town from the Capitol. His wheel was in the crypt, where are kept all the wheels of the states- men who are devotees. In his hurry he could not get the chain lock undone. Some- how it would not work. The key turned around and around in the lock without catching the spring. Time pressed, and he was impatient. He tried to break the chain, but failed. It looked like a case of walk and carry the wheel. But a way out suggested itself. The colonel sent for a man with a file, and after some delay the chain was filed apart. Then Col. Sterett, in haste, bounded on to his wheel and started off at a rapid rate. In a minute he returned, “This ain't my wheel,” he cried. Then he explained the matter to one of the Capitol police, found the lock that his key fitted and left his own chain to replace the one he had cut.
