Practically the entire | time to-day was spent in an argument as to whether a recalcitrant witness should | be made to answer questions. Clashes be- | tween the court and the attorneys for the | defense were more frequent than usual, | d time and again the lawyers were or- | dered to take their seats. So accustomed have they become to this procedure that to-day endeavored to adopt a time- | g policy by doing their talking while | ated. This greatly angered Judge Har- rington, and Raker was told that he | would save himself trouble by arising ! when he addressed the jury. Raker | obeved instructions, but the first remark | that he made was one that the court re- garded as improper, and the lawyer was | ordered to sit down. The case of Defendant Eades was to-day for trial on January 13, and that of ranton_on January In fixing the | ge Harrington made some re- tive to separate trials before The defense objected to the court making such statements, but Judge Har- | rington instructed the court reporter and | clerk to ignore the objection. | L. Colburn, who testified before the | nd Jury and since that time has been | | kept here in jall to prevent his leaving the country, as he feared to be a witness in this case, was called this morning. The first question asked was if, about the 25th of May, he had a conversation with Dep- uty Constable Brown about a warrant to | .search the Hall home. Before answering he asked permission to make a statement, and the jury was sent out of the room. Colburn said that there was a conversa- tion about that time and of that nature. He declined to answer any further ques- tions, on the ground that his testimony | might tend to incriminate himself.

LIVERPOOL, Dec. 23.—An explosion in a fuse box set fire to a train on the elec- | tric overhead railway at Dingle station to-day. Seven cf the railway employes were killed.

The fire brigade had the greatest difficulty in extinguishing the rlames, Fortunately . the Dingle station fs the terminus of a railway running along the docks, otherwise a terrible disaster would have been recorded. the evening. The train was packed, but the majority of the passengers had alighted at the previous station. Rumors nel it was some hours before an entrance could be effected. Many passengers jumped from the burning train and | rushed out of the tunnel, while others | were dragged out by their fellow travel- ers in a half suffocated condition. Among the dead are the station fore- man, a signal boy and the driver and | guard of the train. The station buildings were much damaged.
