This occupied nearly an hour. The main point established was that the witness denied making the remark after the shooting that he had merely taken a hand “in the matter as plain James Mar- tin, and not as the sheriff of Luzerne county.” : The defense then endeavored to have the sheriff testify that he was unable to sup- press the riot and disorder that existed in the Hazleton region, and that the civil au- thorities were unable to cope with it, and had then telegraphed to the governor of Pennsylvania for aid to suppress the riot, and that consequently the governor order- ed out the state militia on the night of September 10. The commonwealth object- ed to this line of testimony, and Judge Woodward sustained the objection. Deputy Price Testifies. Samucl Price, a contractor and com- mission merchant of Hazleton, testified that he was Sheriff Martin’s chief deputy during ihe week and had been selected by Mr. Hali of Hazleton and was sworn in on the night of September 6, four days be- fore the Lattimer shooting. He told about the sheriff giving all the deputies explicit orders to keep cool and not get excited; to protect property and maintain the peace. He also told them they were not to shoot unless for self-protection, when the lives of the sheriff or deputies should be in dan- ger. The whistle of the coffin factory, he » Was to be blown in case the strikers d march on Hazleton. witness corroborated Sheriff Mar- s testimony from the time the depu- lies went on duty at 5 o'clock September 7 unul the deputies formed in line at Lat- umer. He heard several Hungarians jeer the deputies and remark: “You shootes me, killee me; me no citizen; my wife and children get plenty mone The witness also discovered, by going among the strikers and feeling about their clothing, that they were armed with re- volvers and stones. The sheriff declined to have any of the deputies accompany him when he walked down the road at Latti- mer to meet the mob and endeavor to halt the strikers. Account of the Shooting. The witness then gave a straightforward account of the scene of the shooting. He said he was standing in an alley to the left of the line of deputies, and saw the sheriff halt the strikers. Then a moment later the strikers surged around the sheriff and began to jostle and shove him to the side of the road, when the witness lost sight of the sheriff by the balance of the strikers surging past him and rushing mad- ly upon the deputies. Just at that point a pistol shot rang out back of the witness and he heard the bullet whistle past. He turned around to see where it came from, when he saw a striker, back of the depu- ties, pointing a pistol at him. The witness threw himseif on the ground and he heard the shot whistle over his head. He heard the strikers yell, and the next instant he heard the volley fired from about the cen- ter of the line of deputies. The volley sounded like the roll of a drum and was all over in less than half a minute. There was no shooting after the volley. By the time the witness could get on his feet all was over and the strikers were rushing away. ‘The mob for-ned in line again about 600 yards away in the wooda, and the wit- ress thovght that they were going to make arother rush upon the deputies, but the mob was then dispersed. Caring for the Wounded The witness then told how he isted in caring for the injured by getting water and bandag>s, and said he assisted in re- moving the dead and wounded from the scene. The witness was put through a rigid cross-examination,but the commonwealth’s counsel failed to make him contradict him- self. He said that he was still in posses- sion of his Springfield rifle, which he car- ried when he was serving as a deputy, and kept it fer his own protection at his home. He said that some of the strikers had loitered around the woods at Lattimer the balance of the afternoon watching the deputies care for the dead and wounded, but offered no assistance. They also wateh- ed the men at work in the breaker until 5 o'clock, when the brezker shut Gown for the day. The witness said he had his back turned when the deputies fired the volley. Mr. Price further testified, on cross-ex- an-ination, that he did 10t know who gave the deputies the order to fire. He also said that he himself did not fire a shot, and that he did not hide in the alley to escane being shot by his own men. 5 Sa Fleeing Negro Shot. Special Cerrespondence of The Evening Star. FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, V: March 2, 1898, Fred Ashton, colored, was brought here yesterday afternoon and committed to jail by Justice John R. Teylor. The prisoner is charged with breaking into Mr. S. P. Treombley’s store, near here, about 6 o'clock Monday evening, and stealing about $0. After a warrant had been issued, Of- ficers Steele and Swartz were put on Ash- ton's trail, end they overtook him about 12 e'clock Monday night. Officer Steele told Cflicer Swertz to handcuff the prisoner af- ter his apprehension, bui Ashton started to run. Officer Steele shot at him, but missed him. Then Officer Swartz fired two shots, one of which entered the body of the fugi- tive under the left shoulder blade. He did not stop running, however, and it was not known until the next morning that he was wounded. The wound is not considered dangerous. When he was rearrested he ecrfessed his guilt and conducted the offi- cers to the spot where he had hidden $20 of the money. It was tied up in a pair of buckskin gloves.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 2.—The session cf the senate bribery investigating commit- tee last night took the evidence of the local telephone manager. He said Col. Dick paid all the expenses, both locally and for out- side tolls, of the telephone in the Hanna headquarters in the Neil Hovse, through which some cne in these headquarters talked with the stranger, H. H. Boyce, at the Gibson House in Cincinnati on the nigat of January 9, about the progress of a bribery scheme.

Otis to support Senator Hanna, that they would not under any cir- cumstances vote for Mr. Hanna. ‘The committee will make a partial report to the senate late this weck—probably to- morrow afternoon. It will state that prob- able evidence of bribery has been fotnd. > BROKEN IN SHIP Two. Part of Maine's Keel Forced Upward Twenty-Nine Fee In a telegram from Havana last nigat to his paper in New York the Herald cor- respondent says: The Maine's back was broken. The latest discoveries made by the divers not only support the informa- tion furnished concerning the disclosures of paramgunt importance made by Ensign Powelson, but convince those in charge of the submarine investigation beyond all doubt that a mine rent the battle saip asunder. Iam able to write positively that the keel of the ship has been found in two pieces. Nearest the ends, which are now separated by a distance of two and one-half to three feet, the sections are no longer lying in one straight line, but show the effect of force exerted from port to starboard no- ticeable in the other wreckage. From the discovery of the present condition of the keel, one section of the bottom was found twenty-nine feet from its natural position and was rent from the keel by the first explosion and driven upward. The keel itself was forced in the middle until it was broken in two, and then*tollapsed in two sections, Which fell in the position in which the divers found them yesterday. I am assured by reliable persons familiar with the result of high explosions and with the wreck above and under the water that the breaking of the keel as now disclosed could not possibly be done by an inside explosion. In fact, this last discovery of the manner in which the Maine's back was broken, taken together with earlier dis- closures made public here, convince men working about the wreck that further in- vestigation as to the manner in which the ship was blown up is perfectly useless. They consider the question solved beyond doubt.

The will of the late Matthew W. Galt, dated the 12th of June, 1897, was this afternoon filed for probate. Reginald Fen- dall, whose death occurred just a day cr two prior to the demise of Mr. Galt, is named in the will as one of the two execu- ters, the other being Mr. Charles E. Galt, a son of the testator. With the exception of the item of $250 to his “faithful servant, Ellen Ann Wallace,” she being commended to the care and ten- der consideration of his children, the de- ceased left his entire estate to his children then living and the issue of such as might be dead at the time of the testator’s death, to be distributed equally among them. ‘The beneficiaries are not designated by name. The witnesses to the will were Mahlon Ashford, George E. Fleming and Charles Wm. Alexander. ——— Blind Man's Complaint. A blind man named Henderson Boggs ap- peared in the Police Court this morning and complained against John Kemp for al- leged disorderly conduct and threats. It appeared that Kemp had given Boggs per- mission to occupy rooms in his house on 4% strect southwest, and because of a dis- agreement between them Kemp tried to get rid of his guest. “He had been bringing women in the Louse,” Kemp told Judge Kimball, “and I told him he would have to stop it on ac- count of my children.” ‘Was that all the trouble?” ‘Yes, sir.” “That wasn’t the trouble at all,” said the blind man. “I had been losing my money, and when I could stand it no longer I com- plained.” ; He told of the languege used by Kemp and a fine of $5 was imposed. a Official Orders Issued. The following orders have been made by the District Commissioners; That Caroline Cook be appointed a, cook at the Washington Asylum, at a-salary of $120 per annum. That a new roadway be laid on the M Street bridge over Rock creek, and the su- perstructure painted. That Francis D, Neal be appointed engi- neer at the disinfecting station, at 50 cents for the first hour and 40 cents for every additional hour each day. That cement sidewalk and new curb be Jald on both sides of 20th street between ‘Wyoming and Kalorama avenues, under the permit system, at estimated cost of in charge will be if the board does CITIZENS FILE!a PROTEST Objections Made to Maliner Ur Branch of Brightwhod Railway, Delegation Calls on the Commission- ers—Claim of Damage to Prop- erty on Kenyon Street, . " A delegation of citizehs from Columbia Heights made a call today upon the ‘Dis- trict Commiszioners to object to the condi- tion of the plant and the manner of opera- ticn of the branch line of the Bnghtwood Railway Company on Kenyon and Marshall streets: Mr. Leo Simmons read a resolution adopt. ed by the Columbia Heights’ Citizens As- sociation on the subject, and said he ob- jected to poles on both sides of the street as unsightly and as sources of danger, and to the cars and tragks because out of re- pair. He said the president of the road, Horace 8. Cummings, claims the receipts from the operation of the branch do not pay the expense of employing the motor- men. Mr. Abram D. Hazen said he thought the railroad and cars in their present condition a nuisance, and that the line should be equipped with an underground system on a modern basis, or the removal of’ the present plant required. Mr. Samuel A. Rogers said he bought the preperty on which he has resided for two years on said street before the branch line was put there; that his family has not used the cars on the line, and that it is regarded as so dangerous for driving by the grocers tirat they leave their horses on 14th street and bring the goods thence to the house by hand. He wanted the branch and cars radically improved or removed. Mr. Samuel Baxter reiterated the com- plaints of those who preceded him. Mr. Simmons also left a letter of the fame general tenor written by Charles A. Hamilton. Bill to Regalate. Mr. Chas. F, Calhoun read an argument in support of a bill regulating this branch line to tha effect that: Ast. The branch line of the Brightwood Railway Company on Kenyon and Mar- shall streets is of no earthly benefit either to the company direct, or the property owners and resid2nts on said streets. Not over twenty-five passengers per day are carried on the single car operated by said company between 7th and 14th streets. The revenue derived is not nearly suffi- cent to pay the salary of the motorman, not taking into account at all the cost of electric current, wear and tear on car, he rails of this branch Hne are set on ties, and sald rails are several inch- es above the roadway, making travel on Kenyon and Marshall streets not only difil- cult but dangerous. The Unsightly Poles. Third. Unsightly wooden poles of the cheapest kind have been erected by said company (unéer authority f the Commis- sicners of the District) on’ both sides of Kenyon and Marshall stréets. Many of th poles have fallen ‘at different times, and an examination at, the,time showed that they had entirely rotted, away at the base. E I feel certain that most of the poles now standing are in the same condition, and liable to fall at any moment an account of the great weight of the overhead trolley wire. I firmly believe that in case these dangerous poles are tét t¥moved very shortiy and the overhead wireiplaced under- ground, as provided forsin the Senate and House bills, a fatal accident will yet occur. Citizens Agree. Fourth. All citizens of Columbia Heights, I feel certain, would be pleased to see this company compelled to operate this branch line in a systematic manner, as proposed in pending legisl.tion or sald branch line abandoned. Fifth. I reside on Kenyon street, having purchased a twenty-five-foot lot there pre- vious to the location of this branch line on that street. I believe my property has been damaged by reason of these unsightly and dangerous poles and this “‘one-horse” road at from $1,500 to $2,000, and, in my opinion, all otier property owners on Kenyon and Mar- shall streets have been damaged accord- ingly. Why, then, should your honorable body have any hesitancy in recommending the passage of the bills now under con- sideration? The Commissioners promised to give the matter their careful attention. --— REFERRED TO ATTORNEY. Application of Wheelmen in Resp2ct to Handle Bars. The question of whether the District Commissioners have the right to grant a request made a few days ago by two bicy- cle clubs for permi jon tg pass through the city limits using handle bars other than those required by the police regula- ticns, has been referred by the Commis- sicners to the attorney of the District for his opinion. es ag THE COURTS.

The finance committee of the central re Nef committee has sent out special appe: for contributions to supply immediate needs of the poor. The committee is now with- out funds, but it is believed there will be an immediate responce to the requests sent | cut, and that the unpleasant necessity of a house-to-house canvass may be avoided. Judge Cole has called a meeting of the full central relief committee for tomorrow afternoon at 30 In the board of trade rcoms to consider any matter that may be brought before it. e The subcommittee appointed to consider places of permanent organization, with General Sternberg as chairman, has been considering some plans, and may make a preliminary report at the meeting tomor- row. Contributions to meet the pressing needs | of the committee should be sent to Beriah Wilkins, treasurer, Post building, or to The Evening Star. The applications for relief made to the agents of the Associated Charities are numerous, and the association has been obliged to deny many families owing to the lack of funds. The committee has been obliged to limit relief to extreme cases where sickness e: ed or where there were yry small childrei Secretary Wilson reports that there has teen more sickness brought to the atten- tion of the agents during February than in any month since he has been in the work in Washington.
