Specia} Correspondence of The Evening Star. UPPER MARLBORO’, Md., October 6, 1806. The second day's session of the October Jury term of the circuit court for Prince George's county, Md., with’ Judge John B. Brooks on the bench, was taken up in the trials of two appeal cases from magistrates’ W | fracture Crook, after lingering unconscious | until the night of July 10, died. Justice James Harris of this town summoned a jury of inquest and they, after listening to the testimony produced ‘before them, sald that James Crook came to his death “by a blow on the head from a club in the hands of Richard King.” King, who was present at the inquest, refused to testify in his own behalf. ‘The principal witness against him was Mr. Thomas Grimes, a former em- ploye of his on the farm. He testified to having gone to King’s for some money which King owed him for labor. Finding King away from home, he went to sleep on an old ox cart body under a tree in the yard, and was awakened by hearing He got up out of the cart what was the trouble, and found ard King, Arthur King, James Crook the two Robey brothers of Charles county discussing wrestling. Young Crook and King began to wrestle, and he started home, as he saw that they had been After he went through the gate leading Cut of the farmyard, he turned and saw King strike old man Crook over the . head with a cart standard. He went home immediately, and next day left the place. King would not pay him his wage: . | Young Crook could not corroborate Grimes’ | testimony, as he had gotten frightened and | started for Upper Marlboro’. Arthur King, a brother of testified that old man Crook was drunk and fell and struck his head against the cart tongue, producing the wound. If King, the prisoner, had kept his mouth ut, as ed by his lawyer, ex-State’s Attorney Richard E. Brandt, he probably would have fared better. "He sent his brother to see the two Robey brothers in Char! requesting them not to tesiify against him, with a threat that if they did ‘ould put the blame of Crooks’ death They kept quiet, until King be- came frightened, being afraid of being ynched, and made a statement implicating the Robeys in the murder. They came be- quire Harris and corroborated testimony. King told so many that he got frightened and asked to He was taken from the erty ccurt.

This murder occurred on the farm of Mr. Robert A.

Old man Crook married King’s sister. King is thirty-seven years of age and has a wife and two children. James Crook was sixty, and left a widow and several grown children. This court will have another murder trial, In the case of the killing of Roscoe Wheeler, colored, by his brother, Wesley. Roscoe Wheeler was shot with a musket at his stepfather’s house, near Vansville, on Wednesday last, by his brother, after a quarrel over a game of cards, ‘and died Saturday in Washington. ‘The democratic mass meeting which took place here today was somewhat of a fall- ure to the faiinful. Although the meeting was advertised, when it was called to order there were not over 200 people present, many of them being witnesses and jurym: in attendance at court. It was nearly o'clock before the mecting was called to order. This was due to the fact that the court was expected to adjourn for the day Lefore then and the meeting could be held in the court room. Mr. Moss had to leave on the afternoon train, and a case was in progress in the court room, so the meeting was called to order on the front veranda of the town hall. Mr. William B. Clagett was made chairman of the meeting and in- troduced Mr. Robert Moss, democratic can- didate for Congress for the fifth Maryland cistrict. Mr. Moss talked to his audience about the benefits to be derived from free silver, and the destruction that is being “made upon the laborers’ and farmers’ inter- ests by the gold standard. After he finished his speech the meeting was adjourned to the court house, and Stilson Hutchins spoke. He made an able argument, advo- cating free silver. He had the strict atten- tion of the crowd frm the beginning tg the end of his address. He was cheered to the ecao.

INTERCOLLEGIATE ‘TENNIS. Driscoll of Georgetown Wins and Causes the Surprise of the Day. The surprise of the day in the intercol- legiate tennis tournament at New Haven was the result of the Driscoll-Budlong match. Budlong was looked on as a pos- sible coming champion this fall, but the Georgetown University boy took two sets straight. The play was sharp, and both guarded their courts in fine shape. Budlong kept his lobs well placed, and volleys up till the last, but the smashing of Driscoll won a victory. Driscoll arrived in New York Monday night, after an eight days’ e from southern California, where he is champion. x Preliminary round—H. H. Hackett, Yale, defeated T./S. Evans, Princeton, 6-2; C. P.

The Canterburys, who claim the title of champion of the District Amateur League, which is also claimed by the Shamrocks, and the Bureaus, who are the champions of the Departmental League, met at Na- tional Park yesterday to decide the cham- pionship of the District of Columbia. There was a good-sized attendance out, made up of the friends of both teams, and the noise of the rooters would have done credit to the most demonstrative foot ball game. The game was one that was well worth seeing, and but for a little looseness in the field work of the Canterbury team would have been almost perfect as an exponent of the national sport. The bureau team won by good stick work and on account of errors made in the Can- terburys’ infield, fours being made between short stop and second base. Bisbee occu- pied the slab for the Canterburys, gave 1:0 bases on balls and struck out seven men. Winkleman, who pitched for the depart- mental boys, was in fine form, and did not allow his opponents to bunch their hits in any inning except the last one, when two singles netted the only run of the District bo: Springman, at first, for the Bureaus, ac- cepted fourteen chances without an error, while Kleinschmidt, in right field, made two hard catches that seemed safe hits into short field, back of first. McCauley steadied down and took seven chances without a misplay, while Williams, behind the bat, had ten without losing one of them. There were two difficult double plays made in the game, and, on the whole, it compared very favorably with a good many league games played here this year. Some idea of the sharp playing which abounded may be had from the fact that the Canterburys had three men on bases in the first inning with no one out, and yet Winkleman and his fielders prevented a single run from com- ing in.

The Leading French Statesm the Russian Ruler. ‘The Russian czar and czarina lunched in private at the embassy in Paris yester- Gay after The Star's report closed. After the repast Madame and Mademoiselle Faure, the wife and daughter of the pres dent, arrived. ‘These two ladies remained fifteen minutes with the czar and czarina, and when they left the two imperial travel- ers proceeded in a state carriage with postilllons, escorted by several squadrons of cuirassiers, to the Russian church, on the Rue Daru. Their appearance was the signal for another demonstration of en- thusiasm by the populace, which the royal couple duly acknowledged. ‘The neighborhood of the Russian church was as densely thronged as the vicini of the Russian embassy when the czar and czarina entered the Rue Datu. They were received on the threshold of the church by Hhgh Priest Wasiliff and the synod. Upon entering the building the czar, Baron von Mohrenheim and all the male members of the imperial suite took up places upon the right side of the aisle, the czar standing alone beside the sacred Icons. The czarina and the ladies in her suite occupied places, standing on the ieft of the aisle. The service was a short one, only the “Te Deum” being sung. After leaving the church, the -horses at- tached to the imperial carriage reared, ow- ing to the cheering, and became entangled in the traces. During the confusion the carriage was backed against the curb- stones, collided with some shrubs and the latter struck the czarina, who was waiting to enter the vehicle, slightly in the face. The czar then drove to the Elysee Palace alone, in crder to return the visit of, President Faure, and the czarina returned to the Russian embassy. President Faure, surrounded by the mem- bers of his military household, met the czar at the portico of the palace, and, after‘warmly shaking hands with his maj- esty, they proceeded to a salon, where they remained in conversation for twenty minutes. The president then conducted the czar to another salon, where the ministers were presented to his majesty, and thence the latter was escorted to the Grand Salle des Fetes, where 500 senators and deputies were presented to the distinguished vis- itor, Mr. Faure expressing the high satis- faction which he felt at having the honor of presenting the +members of parliament to his majesty. The czar replied that he was happy to find himself among, the'nation’s elect. His majesty bowed to the majority of the persons present without conversing with them, and, on returning to the Rus- sian embassy, he ‘fecejved the presidents of the chambers, thie cabinet ministers and the members of the diplomatic corps, who were presented by iMgr. Ferrera, the papal nuncio, who is the dean of the diplomatic corps. i International Compliments. At the banquet given to the czar, at the palace of the Elys¢e, President Faure, in proposing a toast;in honor of his im- perial guests, said: iS “Your majesty’s presence has, amid the acclamations of our whole people, sealed the ties uniting our two countries in har- monious ‘activity amid mutual eonfidence in their destinies. The union of your pow- erful empire and our laborious republic has already exercised a beneficial effect upon the peace of the world. Fortified by trie fidelity, 1t will continue to spread its for- tunate influence everywhere. The remainder of the president's remarks consisted of compliments and good wishes. The czar, in replying to the toast, said: “I am deeply touched by the welcome ex- tended to the empress and myself in great Paris, the center of so much genius, taste and light. Faithful to imperishable tradi- tion, I have come to France to greet in you, Monsieur le President, the chief of the na- tion to which we are united by such pre- clous ties. As you have said, the union cannot but produce py its constancy a most fortunate influence.

When Judge Kimball's court convened this morning there were only two spectators in the room, and the judge did not know whether the small audience was the of the weather or whether Policeman n had been on guard at the door all the morning and had kept out the regulars who sist on odcupying the reserved seats.

Advice Not Ta Next in line was a stylishly dressed young man named Lewis Domer, who raised a question of constitutional right when he appeared on the witness stand. “This young man was in the ‘Division’ about 1:30 o'clock this morning,” said Po- lceman Carllson, “and he asked me for a match. Later, when I saw him, I advised him to leave the ‘Division,’ and he be- came profane.” “As an American citizen,” said the young man, “I have the right to be on the street at any hour without being called to ac- count by a policema! “Then you are mistaken in your rights,” the court told him. “An officer has the right to overhaul people on the streets at that hour.” ; The young man denied that he was pro- fane.

Neighbors said he called at their houses also and begged. “What have you to say?” “Nothing.” “Thirty days.” A young colored man named John Saun- ders, who lives from pillar to post, sleep- ing in wagons, on lots and in dry goods boxes, was in court again. The last time he was in court his plea was that his uncle supported him, but this his uncle denied. This time he was found wandering about the streets in Georgetown, and the court sent him down for fifteen days. “I guess I'm guilty, but I don’t know if I am, ‘cause I was drunk,” responded Joseph Doyle, when arraigned on a charge which had resulted from his intoxication.
