witnesses that he was entitled thereto.
now admits that Jim Hunnicutt did
the shooting and that he and the wit
nesses testified 10 that which they
knew to be false. When the
grand jury took the matter In
! hand thew were more incredulous
in regard TO what the witnesses said
than were the coroner's jury. The
former after examining the eye wit
nesses and weighing with their testi-
mony the dying declaration of Hun-
phries, that Hunnicrtt fired the fatal
shot, knew that Humphries' state

was held with Polser who came out

THE REPUBLICAN CANVASS.


Pun For the Legislative Ticket
Meetings at DeImOnico and Odd Eel
lows HaIIss-The Candidates Circular
The Republicans are making an active
canvass for the legislative ticket. The
militia districts Of the county have been
overhauled by the rallying committees
aud every man whose vote could be de-
pended upon was given the tip in whose
favor to dispose Of it. Circulars have
been issued by the candidates calling
on the colOred voters to be at the polls
early and cast their votes for them. The
circular SAYS: at Is expected that every
Republican voter will be present and as
sist all in his power for the election Of his
ticket. Every man is expected 10 do his
duty. Remember, friends, yOu VIII need
US m January we ask your support now"
The country is being looked after by the
friends Of Simmons and the eOlOred vote
Of Bryan and bingham is claimed solid
for him. The city Is being worked up by
the county candidates, and an effort IS be-
ing made TO bring out every colored
voter and see that his ballot IS
cast straight for the nominees. Meetings
b ave been held in all the militia districts
Of the county, and every possible means
Is being taken 10 secure the full vote Oh
the party. A meeting Of the Young Men
Republican Club, organized last week,
was held last night at DelmOnlco hall.
The club puTpOrtS 70 nc com
posnd Of Young Republicans Of the First
militia district. The hall was lighted
early in the evening, but this was the
only sign Of a gathering until Q O'Clock,
when "A NEWS reporter walked up To the
hall and counted about half "A dozen
young cOlOred men huddled around table.
A few minutes later another half-dozen
appeared, and in half an hour there was
a respectable gathering Of between 30 and
100 in the hall. The candidates for the
lower house were on hand. The Secre.
tary finally called the meeting to order
The President, he said, had
gone out and not showing up he didn't
propose to keep the ''gentlemens" wait
ing. Just as he finished speaking the
President appeared at the door, and bush
ness was proceeded with. The first move
was the enrolment Of new members. As
soon as this was begun the question OF ell
gibility arose, and half an hour was spent
in trying 10 find out who could ana VINO
could not become members. The next
sticker was the purpose Tor which the
club was organized. The President said
the platform was laid in the First district,
and covered the young Republicans OF the
First district, but it wanted to get all the
members il could no matter where they
came from.
After the enrolment was concluded,
Brown, SnelsOn ant Hamilton, the three
candidates for the lower house, took the
floor and presented their claims Tor cleo
tion. The meeting broke up about mid
night.
Another meeting will be held at the
colored Odd Fellows Hall tonight, when
all the candidates are expected to be
present and urge the necessities Of the
hour.

THE FIRE APPARATUS.

The 'BartOw~ Engine Tested by the
BuiIder-The "Waver" in Need of Re
pairs
The Barlow steam fire engine, which
arrived last week from the La France
works in EImira, \. Y, where it was re-
built with a new boiler and equipments,
was tested yesterday afternoon Icy
the builder in the presence Of
the Council Committee on Fire and the
officers Of the Fire Department.
The test took place in front Of Firemen's
Hall. where the engine was located by
bvdrant. with two lengths OFF s-inch hose,
spOuting across Drayton street. The en-
clue was in charge Of Mr. +. La France.
The engineers Of the three engines Of the
department were present anI Inspected
its workings. The test was in every way
satisfactory so far as the working of
the machinery was concerned. The OBJ
isct Of the test was 10 determine the
strength OF the boiler, which is entirely
new. The time of making steam was
equally satisfactory. Five pounds of
steam were generated in 1 minute
and , seconds. and 80 pounds in
an. minutes from the time Of
starting the ire. At a pressure Of ID
mounds the machinery worked beautifully
aud the boiler resisted the force as though
IL had been locomotive. ms
uressure is far above the pressure
10 which a boiler is usually subjected,
the ordinary pressure in throwing a
double stream being from 50 to pounds,
according 20 the height necessary to be
reached. The hose used was the regular
department hose, and withstOOd the heavy
strain upon il without the slightest in
dicatiOn Of break.
The builder, Mr.. La France. says the
engine is worth now fully as much, il not
more. than she was when she was first
bought. The Fire Committee was thor
oughly satisfied with the test in every
way. The engine viii be turned over to
the committee to-day, and will be placed
in service in a short time.
The Waiver engine is the next in need
OF repairs, her boiler being in an unsafe
condition and liable TO break at any time,
when the engine would be rendered use
less. This Is liable 10 occur in a critical
time when its service is most needed.
The matter has already been brought to
the attention OF the Fire Committee. and
il is quite probable that with the changes
that have taken place in the department
the apparatus viii also receive proper at

ttWumpty Dumptyn Before a Fair Aud
fence-3Iiss Welby's Engagement.
Tony Deuier's Humpty Dumpty and
Speciality Company opened at the Theatre
last night before fair audience.
Although it was the same old familiar
Humply, the business was fresh and new
and the audience enjoyed it. Among
the special features Of the
performance the LeOuhardt Brothers
In their acr0baties and horizontal bar eX-
utbiti0n were excellent. Miss Marietta
Myers in her slack wire exhibition was
received with applause, and Dewitt and
Kirwau In their performances on the cor
net fute. mandolin. cOncertlna, NyO-
phone. fife. buEla and bells, were an eX-
ceIIent team. Prof. Gleason, with his
trained dogs. gave an admirable cXhib,-
ti0n. The speciality features are all good.
The pautOmime, TO those who saw II IN the
DAYS Of Fox. has hardly ever been equalell,
but Rtvel does il well. The performance
was worthy a better audience. A matt
nee will be given today and the cOnclud-
Ing performance will be given tonight.
The sale OF reserved seats for Miss
Welhv-s engagement will begin tO-mOr-
row. Terrible Temptation in which
Miss WeIby appears on Friday night, IS
one or her best plays. Lady Clare, IN
