Ker Before Springer.

Mr.. Ker, one Of the democratic lawyers
employed to prosecute the star route cases,
was before the Springer committee yesterday
He told the story of his engagement in ths
cases, the inquiry by the grand Jury, the first
trial, and began to talk about the second,
when the committee adjourned for the day.
He explained that certain parties were in
dicted only by their initials, because
their initials only were known, The rest of
his testimony contained nothing new except
some statements in regard to the conduct OF
Mr.. George Bliss, his associate counsel. He
charges, upon information and belief" as
the legal phrase is, that this gentleman tried
to get him dismissed from the cases. He also
accuses him of trying TO shield Dorsey in the
first trial, but admits that he did his level
best to convict him on che second.
"At the beginning of the second trial" he
says, II was told to take charge of the wit
nesses and examine them before they ap-
peared on the stand. Bliss acquiesced.
took them and found that Bliss on the first
trial had not brought out half that they
knew. Then we had new witnesses. The
testimony OF all was so strong against Dorsey
that there was no doubt of conviction"
Its strength does not appear in the result"
interposod Mr.. Stewart.
II had nothing to do with the result The
first jury would have convicted if it had not
been for the foreman. On the second jury
there were men who could not read or write.
In the first trial We had n witnesses, 9, 300
papers, and 1885 pages of printed testimony.
IN the second trial we had 100 witnesses, 2,761
papers, and 4,4Sl pages of testimony"
mo wonder tho jury didn't convict" said
Mr.. Stewart.
There was no disag"N lment among the
counsel in the second trial." the witness
continued bliss made up his mind to 90
for Dorsey and no did 90 for him as vigor-
ously and viciously as any of u.s."

Ancient Sports OF the FathcrIand Re-
vlved by German Americans.
'"The Germans know how to enjoy them
selves" said the gentleman who had just left
the May festival at Guethlers garden last
night. The occasion was the annual Mai fest
of the Cannstatter, Volksfest Verein, eompris-
ing some of the most prominent German
citizens of Washington. They selected
Guethler's park because it has just been
thoroughly refitted with new pavilion,
bowling alley, shooting gallery, and arbors.
Tho park was picturesquely beautiful under
the glare of 5000 colored lam
terms and several hundred gas lets
The large pavilion was thronged
with gay dancers, and everybody was laugh
ing or smiling with happiness. Preceding
the night sports about one dozen stout Ger
mans, members of the fest, in fur cops, knee
pants and bright scarlet jackets, went
through number of games that were played
on the green fields of old Germany one hun
bred years ago. The first was called catch
ing the rabbit" A spry rabbit was turned
loose on the lawn, and seven grim spearmen,
armed with long spears, chased it about the
barbed point of his weapon. The victor was
greeted with cheers and won prize.
Following this was the EGG race"
A number of children bearing spoons contain
ing eggs ran foot race. Tho one who reached
a certain point first, without breaking an
egg, was awarded prize, "The chicken
coop game" came next. A large number of
coops were scattered about tho grounds; six
Of them contained chickens. Seven men
were blindfolded aud started out among the
chickens. Those who discovered the chick
ems took them as a prize. After this game
pole climbing for prizes was in order. The
entertainment was complete success.
The committee consisted of Messrs. John
Guethler i. +. Freiber. Geo. Gockeler, o.
Vorlander John Eller, Henry Gross, NJ.
Leimbach, Chr. Schickler, r. Saur, L. Wal
decker, l.. Helzle, Julius Jueneman, w.

Mr.. Guethler was warmly oomplimented
on the manner in which he has fitted up the
park.
