panied by bands of music and
carrying banners inscribed with

forced Its way in TO the officers Of the
board, and demanded that means OF
relief be afforded them by the establish
mcnt Of public relief works.

= cold reception, Offering them no en-
couragement whatever. This treat
ment SO inccnsed the mob
that what had previously been
but noisy demonstration at once as
sumed the form Of a riot. The few po-
licemen pre- sent attempted TO restore or
der, but they were oyerpowcred, and the
mob inva ed Downing street.
The men marched to the Official resi-
dcncc Of Mr.. Gladstone, where a halt
was called. Here they gave groans and
Kisses for the Premier, and the entire
Liberal Cabinet was roundly denounced
for their negligence Of the workingman
and his interests.

attempt to storm the Admiralty and Home

with all sorts Of missiles. The affair

As Bob she was pretty nearly the whole
performance. If about twO-thirds of the
plot could be cut out of the play, and
songs and specially matter substituted in
which Rosa could appear. the audiences
would appreciate the change. Rosa works
hard and earnestly, but Is not seen at her

Yesterdays session Of the United States
Circuit Court was nearly all consumed
in the trial of Judson H. Minor, colored.
The accused was charged with selling
liquor at Jefferson, on the satilla river,
without a revenue stamp.
Three witnesses for the prosecution
testified that they bought whisky Of
Minor on one occasion when he was at
Jefferson in a fishing boat. One Of the
witnesses, William Armstrong, colored.
was United States deputy marshal. lie
stated that he bought some whisky from
Minor before he was appointed 10 an OH
cial position. T. p. Ravenel, Esq, coun-
sci for the defendant, made lis side or the
case by impeaching Armstrong; evil
dence, and two or three witnesses sWore
that Armstrong made a statement on the
preliminary trial which he had Just denied
on the stand.
Two colored witnesses named Ponder
swore that Armstrong told them at the
time OF Minors arrest that he Arm
strong) had given the officers information
because he was out OF work
and money and wanted TO make
something. The defense also put
Moses Hamilton, cOl0red, on the stand.
Hamilton has figured In several OF the
Camden county cases as a witness for the
government
"What is your occupation" asked
Judge Speer Of the witness, who is minus
an optic.
Pm Justs o. de Peace was the
prompt and proud reply. Moses said that
he was on Minors boat and rode down the
river some distance 10 il. but did not see
any whisky sold, and he thought he would
have seen such a thing had it occurred.
Hamilton admitted that he saw drink Of
whisky, but did not pay for it. 1t was
free.
The jury was out only q few minutes,
and returned a verdict OF not guilty.
Immediately upon the announcement Of
the verdict, Judge Speer said addressing
United States Marshal Wade: 1T is not
usual for courts 70 interfere with tire APP
pointments of marshals, bur / would re-
commend that you remove William Arm

THE REsIsTEKED LETTER CASE.
Postal Agent Fosters Trial Begun In
the United States Court.

POSTAL Agent Fosters Trial Begun In
the United States Court.
II. E. Foster was arraigned yesterday
in the United States District Court, and
pleaded not guilty to the charge of rob-
bling the mail. District Attorney Darnell
briefly summarized the case the prosecu-
ton expects to make out. According to
the Indictment. the principal facts in
which have already been published in the
NEWS, Foster. ON August - last, abb
stracted a registered letter containing $50
from the mail. At that time the accused
was postal route agent between Jack
sonville and Charleston. The letter in
question was mailed at Camilla, by the
postmaster August u. 1t was numbered
20, and addressed to Postmaster Wilson,
at Savannah. The letter passed through
different hands until It came to Foster,
at Waycross. There he re-
ceived 1t and gave receipt
who runs from Townsville to Waycross.
The prosecution further declares that
Foster received along his route thirty-two
other registered packages, among them
being Nos. 27l, 212. When he arrived at
Savannah he handed Tyson, the local pos
tai messenger. the bundle Of registered
letters, and took rysOn's receipt for the
HtiuHs Ou the Ibceipteu UsL were OnlN
thlrty-two numbers, whereas there should
have been thirty-three. One OF these num-
bers on the list was 70. but when the
packages reached the Savannah office
package No. 20 was missing. Package
No. 212 was in the bundle, but it was not
on the list receipted for. Tyson says that
he receipted for the packages without
comparing their numbers with the num-
hers 0n the list, and il is said that
it is not customary to do so
unless there is plenty of time. In this
case it Is claimed the letters were count
ed and thirty-two were receipted for.
No witnesses were examined YESTERDAY,
and the case was continued until this
morning. A strong point for The defense
X that Foster shows a receipt from Tyson
for No. 20, the letter that was lost He
has not, however, a receipt for No. 272,
which went all right. Foster is from

fore United States Commissioner Locke

bought iirewater from the accused. Scott
conducted his own defense, but with only
partial success.
In cross-eXamining the witnesses he
put the same questions To each one. Adj
dressing Pink Moore, he asked:
Didn't | tOle YOU cherry time YOU got
likker dat | wasn't selhn it, and dat

Didn't tole you dat Joe tole me not
TO sell 1t, but IL n man come along an

Moore admitted that scott did say some
thing OF the Kind on each occasion.
AN didn't i say TO- YOU not to come
back again dat wasn't goin' TO bother

That question was also atiirmatively
answered by the witnesses, and the de-
feudant looked as II he thought he ought
90 be discharged. He was, however, held
I'm default OF bail for the present term Of
court.
