An extensive real estate agent in New York ex-
presses the opinion that the electric light will
eventually dispace gas in the nsis and large prt-
Vate Residences In that city. In view OF this
Judgment, IL Is reasonable to suppose that the
electric light has been much more successful In
NV York as an Illuminating agent for small es-
adjustments than In Washington. Whether It Is
because OF the inferior quality OF the light fur
nished or on account OF the conservative dspo ST.
tion OF the people of Washington, we do not
Know, but the fact Is apparent that the electric
light Is less in W. in the national capital than in
any city OF its size In the country,

The Dunn Trial.

Chicago, 12.-The trial of Jere Dunn
was resumed this morning. Mike Nc.
Donald was cross-examined and declared
that he saw q revolver in Elliott's pocket
an hour before the shooting.
G. 8. StcWell, saloon keeper at Ill
Madison street, testified that week pre-
ceding the tragedy. Elliott visited wit
ness saloon and said he was hunting for
Dunn.
James Mead saw Elliott in Olsyton's
place some time before the shooting. He
was leaning against the bar, his left
hand in his pocket, and when man en-
tered from the outside door he drew q
revolver. Witness afterwsrd found
Dunn and informed him that Elliott
was looking for him. Dunn replied that
he knew it and they walked away to
avoid him. The same witness also as
serted thst he had heard conversation
with "appetite Bill'' (Langdon) after the
shooting. The latter declared the affair
had ruined the business Of the TiYoli
restaurant and he proposed to 'dowD"
Dunn.
Walter Williams, Thomas Newman
AID George Hoffman testified to Elliott's
having been in Clayton's place looking
for Dunn and utterinR threats that he
would shoot the latter on sight.
At the conclusion of the testi mony Of
these witnesses the court adjourned to

ing the past two years, Mis-. Thompson
was often besotted, and in this condition
drove through the streets of Harrodsburg,
The oross-examination was much pro-
tracted with the effort to break down the
defense: A suggestion by D. W. vor-
lhees, of the terrible agitation of Phil. B.
thompson, Just after the killing, ELECTED
that after Thompson gave himself up,
ne wrote out his own speech for the use
of reporters, who telegraphed it. Vor-
hees and Blackburn are anxious TO finish
the testimony to-day.
