A Protest Against Poor Paving Material Causes a Temporary Stop—The Board of Rege istry Opens Up. Was Jones Crazy? Yesterday was spent in the dist court in a further hearing of eviden Jones ense. A lurge number of 15 have been examined to show Jones was not sane when he killed Numerous physicians have mined Jones s to his present condi- tion, and they all declurve that he is de- mented, aud not in his right mind. Of this there seems little doubt. Jones himself sits in the court room every day, but apparently pays no more attention to what is going on than if he was o wooden man. There seems 1o be no ap- ition on his part of the gravity of the situation. No matter what turn the evid takes, or what incidents oceur, one is unable to cateh any change of countenance with him. He does not speak to any one, and pays no more at- tention to attorney than to the ct round - the whether Jones was in such a condition at the time of the 1878, us to render him v of the physi belief that fi is safe to de in a weak state always heen inclined to i nity. With the ndditional light thrown wupon his history by the witnesses, they are of the opinion that he was insane when the homicide occurred, Colonel Scott, for the defense, is making a strong case along this line, and the prosceution, with such able attorneys as Colonel Daily and Mr, Mynster, are having their hands full. The evidence in rebuttal is now heing taken, and the ruments will probably commence to-morrow. question mental homicide, sponsibl the dition it » he was nd that he has - Calling a Dead Man. One of the incidents of the Jones trial is illustrative in a forcible manner of the changes which time brings. A wit- wil alled, but did not respond. The bailiff was di edtocall his name at the entrance of the court house. While his voice was ringing on the air, shouting the name of a desired witness, some one informed that impatient attor- ney that his desired witness was dead, had died two years ngo. There was a hush in the court room, which was al- most suffocating for a moment, and then the joeose in human nature bubbled up into whispered merriment over the idea of a baliff trying to call one from th dead. The tragedy which is the b of the present trinl occurred nine ye ago, and the defendant is now on h fourth trial. The witnesses ing fewer in numbe nd in the one witness the facts testified by him on the first trial have so gone from his memory th cannot vecall them.

Zimmerman & Young Bros. have closed their retail trunk store here, pre- paratory to making some important changes in regard to the manufacturing of their wonderful automatic trunk, in- vented by Mr. J. F. Zimmerman. A stock company is being organized with a capital of $100,000, which will have its location in New York, and will engage extensively in the manufacture of th ingenious trunk. Mr. Zimmerman is to be the superintendent of the shops and give his personal attention to the man- ufacturing of the trunks. As soon as the factory is well under way there will probably be some wes ributing point décided upon. looked upon by these some fuvor, but the fact that Kansas ¢ ity has been their headquarters, and that they have a large trade alvendy es lished the may induce them to decide in favor of that city R ttage Hospital, There scems to be a feeling among many that the hospital started some months ago by the christinn women, and known us the Cottage hospital, is about to be closed, and that its mana- gers are to withdraw from the field. This is a great mistake, and is causing no little annoyance to the worthy women having this enterprise in hand. Th ve the Cottage hospital in ex- cellent condition and patients can be well taken care of there. Those who are among the vregular contributors should not, therefore, allow tl inter- est to flag, and all charitably inclined persons should bear the C ottage hmpi(:ql in mind when making donations.

The citizens along the street have ex- postulated with the workmen, but they claim to be following the instructions they have received from the company. and decline to place the poles out of the road. What authority these men have for so acting is not known, but as the thoroughfare is within the city limits, it is probable that the city council will be called upon to exercise its authority in the matter. the es- nteresting Event at No. 18 cet.
