She toyed coquettishly with a costly vin tte during the day, often EXCHANGING MEANING with her g: nt solicitor, Geor Lewis. One of these was specially noticeable when Sir Charles swore emphatically, “certainly not,”* when asked if e ever made 1ove to her. At one time she signiticantly smiled at lier two sisters, Mrs, Harrison and Mrs. Ash- ton Dilke, who sat each side of her.

Sir Walter RBhillimore, also beaten for the house of zom- mons, was not far from the parties, appear- Ing so spare and slight with a Cassius “hungry” look that the court draughts seemed likely to blow him away.

EBut when his cues came he began recover- Ing his equanimity. Ashe was sworn, the Crawford vinaigrette did rapid Early in his evidence Dilke re habit of fencing with foils for exercise every morning, It soon became evident that he was as £ood as a Queen Caroline courtier at fencing questions. His testimony on the direet would make a small volume, Briefly but justly stated, it amounted to this: INEVER SEDUCED MRS, CRAWFORD, nor had illicit relations with (her, nor made assignations with her, nor took her to the house and rooms as she confessed, nor vis- ited her much, nor had her come to my house.

His demeanor and voice, however, assumed both aggressive and defensive methods when, to eross-examine, arose that amiable tory new member for Birmingham, Henry Matthews, queen’s counsel for the injured husband, FACING THE FOOTLIGITS, The following lmmediately occurred: As he faced the turned up footlights, flashes flew from the oyes of the three sisters. He sald ““I was present at the trial before Justice Butt.

I believe at the time of the last trial Mrs. Crawford was in her sound mind, and 1 do so now,” THE JUIEY LOOKS BAD, During the following there oceurred looks among the jurors which could not have been pleasant to Dilke, Do you believe Mrs. Crawford had a mo- tive for making the confession?”’, g “Yes; that tinding she was discovered in adultery with other persons, she desired to fix upon some person agreed upon between Lierself and the others,” “Who were the other persons with whom she had, at various times, continued to com- mit adultery?” SORRY TO M “Who were they?"’ “Well, I am sorry to mention names, but there was Dr. P.

WASHINGTON, July 16,—(Special Telegram to the Beg.]—Shortly after 1o'clock this afternoon Representative Laird, of Nebraska, met Representative Cobb, of Indiana, in the corridor at the southwest corner of the floor of the house and a quarrel arose out of the land question which was hotly disputed in the debate between them a couple of weeks ago. During the quarrel Laird struck Cobb ablowon the lower part of the noseand upper lip, It staggered Cobb and brought the flow of blood. Representative Payson, of 1ilinois, prevented a continuation of the trouble. 1t develops that Representatives Cobb and Laird met in the corridor of the house just before they came to blows and arranged to ge down into the basement and fight out their grievances per Marquis of Queensbury rule The 1gement came to the ears of Repre- sentative Payson ot llinois, who is a mem- ber of Cobb’s committee, and he rushed out of the house and met the men as they were going down the stairs.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT. WASHINGTON, July 16.—[F —Quite a sensation was created in the house this after- noon by a personal enconnter between Rep- resentatives Cobb of Indiana, and rd of Nebraska, growing out of charges made by the latter on the floor of the Louse to the ef- fect that the Nebraska member had been con- cerned in a land ring. Representative Pay- son of Illinois, member of the public lands comuittee, was explaining to Representative Gilfillan the effect of certain senate amend- ments to the bill introduced to protect the rights of homestead settlers, when Rep- resentative Laird leaned from his seat towards the party and asked, “Why don’t you fellows (referring to the public lands committee) do something to break up land rings in the south instead of raiding the north?” Payson replied that was what the committes is endeavoring todo. Cobb un- dertook to defend the comittee of which he was chairman, and an’angry passage oc- curred between him and Laird, which ended by the latter gentleman calling the former a Jiar, Witnesses say Cobb declared Laird did not dare come outside and repeat his lang Laird s said to have replied that the gentleman could not get out soon enough for him. With this the pair started through the lobby into the base- ment. ome one called Payson’s attontion exit, with the statement that they going outside to fight it ouf. Payson hurried “through the 1 ‘caught Cobb by the collar d with him for” pursuing so h and foolish a course. He succeeded in etting Cobb to retrace his stops so far as the west door of the lobby, Laird following, when the controve broke out afresh, Re- curring to the charges Cobb had made against him in a speech s weeks . ago, i he (Cobb) was a foined that Laird was apor) words had hardly passed his lips befora Laird struek him a heavy blow o the mouth and nose.

Cobb stands six feet and over in his shoes and is of proportionate breadth, but is iewhat at a disadvantage on the score of age, being in the neighbor- hood of fifty-eight or sixty years old. Laird is but thirty-seven years old, with girth of chest that would ornament an athlete, and a tlery, impetiious temper, On the other hand, he {5 also slightly lume, Neither of the mewm- bers are willing to make a statement at this time, and the probable ursl\ot of the encoun- ter is a matter of speculation among the other members, The u‘lmlon 18 expresséd in some quarters that the house has been outraged by the affray and it is a fitting subject of inve by that body. ‘The majority of mem- s who are dlsposed to talk about” the mat- ter hold that the encounter did not occur on the floor, and the house is in no wise con- cerned in it. —— Car Drivers' Strike in Frisco.

Three cars were seized and one upset across the tracks, The police at first were unable to cope with the erowd, but with the aid of re-enforcements succeeded in dispersing it. 'The police were then stationed at each corner to prevent the crowds from gathering. Four rioters were arrested.

The police made a raid recently on a gambling house and captured several patrons, Their counsel set up the in genious defense that the city had no right to pass an ordinance punishing men for being found in a disorderly hovse, as it thus as- sumed a man to be guilty till he was proven innocent, & reversal of the eommon law maxim.

A map showing where the meeting was held and where the bomb was thrown into the ranks of the police was exhibited to the jury and its correctness verided.
