The play well staged and the cast of characters was an excellent one. Mr. W. M. i w, under whose direction the play was produced, Mr. Goldwin 8. Patton and Mr. J. Charles Hayden, together with Miss Annie Hillyer and Mrs. Haywood, deser praise for their work. The remainder of the cast was satisfactory, and consisted of Mr. E. D. Anderson, Mr. Frank C. Strat- ton, Mr. Edward Graham, Mrs. Cora D. Beokwalter, Miss Jeannie Haywood, Miss Jeanna H.’ Andersen and Miss Constance Chipman. The musical program was fur- nished by the Neapolitan Orchestra, ond five numbers were played with excellent effect. During the third act, in the ball room scene, Miss Marie Howe, a graceful little dancer, executed a charming fancy dance that was applauded most generous- ly, and she was forced to respond to an emphatic encore, making one of the iost enjoyable features of the evening’s cnter- inme: J.

TESTIMONY OF CORONER TOTHILL He Found a Deep Cut in the Dead Man's Heart. SAYS THAT CAUSED DEATH ——._—__ NEW YORK, November 24.—Owing to the expectation that Mrs. Nack would go uren the witness stand today there were far more applicants for admission to the court room in Long Island City, where the trial of Martin Thorn is in progress, than could be granted. Among the first to arrive were John Min- ker and his wife, who is Thorn’s sister. As soon ar they had made themselves known to the sheriff they were accommo- dated with seats in the north gallery, where they commanded a good view of the entire court room. When Thorn was brought in he was told of the presence of his sister and brother-in- law in the room. The prisoner looked up and nodded nis head as a greeting to them. Thorn spoke to his iawyers fer a moment, and smiled at something Mr. Howe said to him. Courtesy to the Jury. Before any witness was called Judge Maddox informed the jurymen that if they Wished to communicate with their fami- lies on any subject other than the case which they were sworn to try he would see that they wculd be given opportunity to do so. Thori: is said to have told one of his cellmates that his brother-in-law, Minker, had disposed of the head of Guldensuppe by throwing it overboard from a fishing boat off the Jersey coast. It is possible that Minker wi!l be called as a witness. The first three witnesses called this morn- ing were H. Speck, A. Steuben and Alfred Bacder, who are employed in the Murray Hill baths. They corroborated the testi- mony given last evening by other bath em- Pioyes as to the identity of the parts of Guidensuppe’s body. Coroner Tuthill Testifies. Coroner Tacodore K. Tuthill of New York county was then examined. He described the appearance of the portions of the body which he examined at the morgue, and said the several fragments fitted each other and fiited perfectly. The witness said that in kis examination of the upper portions of the body he had found two stab wounds, one under the right collar bone and the other between the fifth and sixth ribs. ‘The tissues around the wound at the collar bone were stilled with blood, showing that the stab wound had n inflicted during life. The wound between the ribs penetrated the heart. Died of a Stab Wound. On cross-examination Dr. Tuthill said to Mr. Howe: “The immediate cause of death a stab wound fn the heat he witness said this wound was made from the front. The wound behind the clavicle would not have caused immediate death. After the coroner had left the stand. the photographs so far introduced were hand- ed to the jurymen and they scanned them carefully Dr. Philip F. O'Hanion, a deputy ecroncr ot New York. was then called. Prior to his examination a court atten- dant carried in a small glass jar, which was placed in front of the witness. It cou- tained a portion of Guldensuppe’s body, about three inches wide and an inch thick. Dr. O'Hanlon said that he had cut away a pertion of the thigh of the dead man. “it is now in that jar,” he said. Se ITS LITERARY FEATURE. Program of Metropolitan Epworth League for Coming Wi - Monday evening the literary department of the Epworth League of Metropolitan M. £. Church began a series of entertainments which promises to be very attractive. It is promised that under the leadership of Mrs. W. F. Dales the program for thi winter will not fall below the standard heretofore established by the society. Sev- eral evenings ¥ be spent with leading magazines, and “Christmas in Literature,” an oratorical contest, an illustrated lecture en the Puritans, music and a debate, are the attractions for other evenings. ‘The leading feature of the first meeting Monday night was the literary experiences given by many members of the league, which brought out the great variety of books that had had an influence upon their lives, or that had most interested them. Miss Hattie Walker read John Lub- hbock’s essay on the “Choice of Books.” The program ended with a book social, a prize being awarded to Mrs. Moore for correctly guessing the atest number of book: These meetings are to be held every third Week during the winte d are intended not only for league me but also for their friends and the strangers in the city who are interested in league work. ——— FORM APPROVED. THE Action of Building Trades Council on Electrical Workers’ Contract. ‘The Building Trades Council, at its meet- irg last evening, with President William Silver in the chair and Mr. Daniel Sulitvan secretary, approved the form of the con- tract adopted by Local Union, No. 26, of the National Brotherhood of Electrical Vorkers, a syincpsis of which was printed in The Star of yesterday. The delegate from the electrical workers reported that the contract for the steam heating in Electrical Workers’ Hall had been taken from a ncn-union firm, to which it had been previously given, and the work given to a firm employing union workmen. etary was directed to write to the ‘ing architect of the treasury and { that the interior work on the new ty post office building be given to reliabie local firms, be with the specification that it not sublet, this course being deemed sary because work has heretofore been done under subcontracts that did not re- sult satisfactorily to the government. >_— Still a Mystery. No further information regardin- the identity of the man who died from hemor- rhage Saturday night, on the sidewalk in front of the Academy of Music, had been received at police headquarters up to this afternoon. The body remains at the morgue. ——__ Lamps Await Owners. Awaiting owners at the third precinct po- lice station are four bicycle lamps—two searchlight, one cyclops and one light weight. It is believed that these lamps were stolen. They were recovered from parties arrested for larceny. ° ee Robbery of the Unsuspecting. The police have received a report from Mrs. Clara Manning of 1330 Columbia street, detailing a new scheme for robbing unsuspecting housekeepers. A middle-aged man called at her residence yesterday afternoon, said Mrs. Manning, and ex- plained that he had been sent by the build- ers of the house to measure the rooms. When the man left Mrs. Manning missed a pocket book containing % and some val- vable papers. The police are investigating the case. —— After Twenty-one Years. 2 Mr. Peter H.

GENERAL AND PERSONAL Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King st., Bell Telephone . 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 24, 1897. The regular semi-monthly meeting of the city council was held last night, with all members present. The session was quite a lengthy one. No new business came up in the board of aldermen, but there was con- currence ordered in the action taken by the lower board, as follows: The finance committee recommended that the city auditor draw his warrant for $4,173 amount of principal and interest of certain coal wharf bonds belonging to the estate of the late Rebecca Wynne, which had been lost since 1861. The rec- commendation was passed and a warrant ordered in favor of Charles R. Hooff, cash- ier of the First National Bank, who holds the bonds, for collection. An ordinance passed fixing the speed of the electric trains running through the city at not more than eight miles an hour, and imposing a fine of $25 upon the railroad company and $10 each upon the conductor and motorman for each violation. An ordinance making it incumbent upon the electric railway company to place im- proved pick-up fenders on all of its mo- tor cars, and imposing a fine of $10 a day for violation, was also passed. The com- pany was given until January 1, 1898, to properly equip its cars so as to comply with the new law. The committee on general laws decided to hold back the ordinance requiring electric trains to stop at each street crossing when demand is made by a passenger desiring to alight. A representative of the electric railway company told The Star reporter last night that the passage of such an ordi- nance would not only work a hardship on the company, but would add thirteen min- utes to the schedule time of all trains coming to this city from Washington, which would greatly inconvenience passen- gers anxious to get home after a day’s work in Washington. Jt was explained that the three stations already established are but a few squares apart, and a great convenience to the trav- eling public, and it is hoped by many that the city ‘council will allow the matter to remain as it is as present. A Petition Withdrawn. The petition of the Southern Railway Company to lay a track on Lee street for the convenience of its patrons, which has been before the committee on general laws, was withdrawn by Mr. Smith"of the com- mittee on streets. 2 ui lication of J.

There were a number of old papers in the hands of the committee en general laws which had been handed down through several councils, and they were dropped. An ordinance was passed granting per- mission to the American Telephone and Telegraph Company to enter the city wit its wires and to operate a long-distance telephone ™m. Two hundred & amount as is ne lars, or as much of that ssary, Was appropriated for placing crossings on Franklin street at its intersection with Alfred, Columbus and Washington streets. Mrs. Mary E. Craven was granted per- mission to reshingle her house at the cor- ner of Duke and Lee streets. The city engineer was directed to do some paving in the alley back of Mr. J. M. White's residence, Mr. White to furnish the material. Thirty dollars was appropriated to pur- chase three fire extinguishers for the alms house. The committee on streets advised that the cost of repairing King street from Fairfax street to Royal street with vitrified brick would be about as follows: The city council, $700; the electric railway company, $466, and the property holders, $1,400. The matter will probably come up for formal settlement at the next meeting of the coun- cil, when, it is believed, the work will be ordered. Chairman Smith stated that §5 per cent of the property holders had sign- ed an agreement to pay their share of the expense. It is thought that with this square completed it will be but a short time before the entire street is repaired with similar material, as most of the prop- erty holders have petitioned the council to have the work done and agreed to pay their proportion.

The members of the Century Cycle Club are still much dissatisfied with the decision of the referee of the Arlington-Centucy club road race, but they will not oppo: payment to the Arlingtons of the money pested by both sides. They realize that the referee's decision in the case is final, but they regret that the referee did not de- cide that the race was void and shoul@ be run over. Capt. Byrnes of the Century Club sai¢ this morning that affidavits would be sub- mitted to the judges, and he looked for a reversal of their decision which favored the Arlingtons. One of the three judges fi vored the Century Club, and another hal expressed self as willing to be con- vinced if procf of irregularity sufficient to cause the Century men to lose the race were produced. On the other hand, the Arlingtons claim that they have good grounds for protests, too. They claim that one Century rider was assisted by an outsider, and chat an- other was paced by another outsider. U less, therefore, the judges, hear che pro- tests of the Arlingtons their decision w: hardly be received as impartial by whee! men generaily. Wheelmen who are acquainted with the racing rules question the wisdom of any further consideration of the matter by the judges, claiming that as the referee's de- cision in the matter is final he is the only official to whom protests should be sub- mitted. —<—$<—__— THE COURTS.
