CRIMINAL CouRr.-Yesterday, the trial Of
Richard Evans, policeman, for the murder In
May last Of George T. Howard, three months
volunteer In Captain NaIly's company, was con-
cluded Howard was mere youth, and the hon.
icide occssioned considerable excitement at the
time.
The traverser Evans, who has an open and In
genuous countenance, and who had been serious
and composed throughout the trial, exhibited
considerable anxiety yesterday as he found that
his trial would probably close with the year 1sel
and that the hrst day Of the new year would dawn
upon him him either as q free man or convicted
criminal. His wife, who has kept near him
throughout the trial, seemed TO be impressed
throughout the day with the solennity Of the oc-
casion.
Mr.. Chas. n. Utermehle, for defence, addressed
the jury In the morning In reply to the argument
OF the District Attorney the day before, making
an earnest appeal for his client.
Mr.. Davidge, for defense, followed In search
ing review Of the evidence, dissecting the testi-
mony Of the principal witnesses for the prosecu-
tion-Keese and McCarthv-and defending the
evidence Of his witness-John II. Wise-against
ney In his opening address the day before.
Mr.. Darlington summed up the case for the
prosecution; and as he dweit upon the strong
points In the evidence against the prisoner,
Evans seemed much affected, and his wife wept
audibly.
The case was given to the jury at half past 3
O'Clock, and about an hour afterwards they re-
turned into court with q verdict, "Guilty Of
granddaughter" There was deep silence as the
verdict was announced, and all eyes Were turned
towards the prisoner. He and his wife were
deeply agitated.
The Court adjourned until Thursday morning.

CoNFIscArIoN IN GEoRsErowN Day before
yesterday, In the afternoon, a solitary horsemsn
might have been seen urging his steed along the
stony highway yclept Bridge street, In our sister
city. He was habited in a military uniform and
voluminous army overcoat and seemed to eye
with suspicion everything that looked like a
Irregular" He had not proceeded far before he
encountered a squad Of these coated aud brass.
buttoned men, who suddenly ordered him to
halt-then to show his pass-and next to dis
mount. All Of these orders he obeyed, not cheer
fully, but with evident reiuctahce-eyi his
saddlebags as IL he had particular affection for
that portion Of his "horse-furniture. They-the
saddle bags-were examined when I've canteens
Of the "ardent' were found In each pocket or
nsp. Our solitary horseman was then, ordered to
take OF bis overcoat. 1t was taken of, when FIVE
more canteens were found fastened to belt
around his waist. BY this time quite group Of
street boys and grinning darkies had collected
and applauded the sacrifice as the contents OF one
canteen after another were poured upon the
ground, while one or two thirsty-looking souls
sighed audibly, voting that II was a Ecussed
shame to spill good liquor in that 'ere way"
