Testimony Showing That PbeIan
Began the Onslaught in ROssa,s
Oface.
New YORK, May 6.-The court of over
and terminer was again crowded with eager
spectators this morning to witness the pro-
ceedings in the Short trial Phelan was re-
called to the stand and continued his testi-
mony. When he had concluded Mr.. Brooke,
counsel for the defense, arose and opened
the case for the defense He described Phe-
lan's visit to Rossa's Office He said Phelan
was wild with liquor and bent on vengeance
Short came in and met Phelan's charges
against Rosa by accusing Phelan of divulg
ing to the reporters of the Kansas City
Journal things which ought to have
been held secret. Taunts of ''informer"
were exchanged. Brooke said Phelan at
tackled Short. The theory of the defense is
that Phelan was all buster and threats and
that Short, when attacked by the western
'dead shot" picked up the dagger which
happened to be lying on the table and used
it in obedience. Mr.. Brooke pointed out to
the jurors that Phelan was the only witness
who had testified concerning the affair and
he promised.t to show that he had once per-
jured himself.
Walker J. Elliot, who said that he
had known Pbelan a long time, tes-
tilted to having once heard Phelan
threaten to lay out O'Donovan Rosa
and Prof. Mezzerof, the mysterious dyna-
mite manufacturer. John F. Kearney, the
saloon keeper who accompanied Phelan
to Rossa's Office, testified that Phelan was
boisterous and threatened Rosa frequently.
Kearney said Phelan, when quarrelling with
with Short, reached for his revolver and de-
clared that he would clay somebody out"
Others who were in Rossa's Office testified to
the same effect.
After recess Kearney was recalled and de-
MED having told Phelan on the way to Ros-
sa's Office that Rosa was friendly to him. He
admitted having correspondent with Phelan
on Irish matters under assumed names.
George S. Smith, lately lieutenant of the
Capitol police at Washington, contradicted
Phelans statement that Phelan caused
his removal. He removed for po-
litical reasons and not till two years
after Phelan had been removed. Pat Joyce,
looking pale, took the stand and testified
that knives, pistols and Japanese dirks were
kept lying around Rossa's Office. He iden-
tilted the knife with which Short stabbed
Phelan one that was lying the table in
the Office before the quarrel.
After Patrick Joyce had. testified Short
took the stand and in long, rambling and
confused statement said that Phelan first at
tackled him and that he did the stabbing in
self-defense. This closed the testimony in
the case Charles f. Brooke then summed
up for Short. He was followed by Assistant
District Attorney Fellows for the people.
After brief and impartial charge by Judge
VanBrunt the jury at 7:30 p. m. retired to
consider their verdict.

A Boom in the Armorsr's business jus

~
Now.
otis an III wind that blows nobody
goodp says the old adage. The recent
seeming epidemic Of burglaries, outrages
by masked robbers and attacks by foot
pads has benefited ut least one class, and
that is the dealers in fire arms. Are
porter was recently in the store of one OF
these dealers when well known mer-
chant entered and said with half apollo
getic air, that he wished to buy re-
volyer. While he was examining
the stock q physician also enter
ed on the same Grand. A conversation
ensued in which the dealer said there was
more demand for pistols among the best
class Of citizens than he had ever known
before. Countrymen, merchants, restau-
rant keepers, BARRIERS and others who were
Obliged TO walk the streets alter night,
sometimes with considerable sums OF
money, were buying weapons, and they
generally wanted the best.
"Why," said one OF the gentlemen pres
ent, ~ used to think 1t a crime to carry a
pistol, but since WIS Swallowed by two
roughs on my way home the other night
on lonely square, have changed my
mind. propose to be prepared for that
class OF citizens"
There are indications that the same de-
termination has become general. The
only thing to be regretted about it Is that
persons who are not to be trusted with
weapons make an excuse OF the same kind
to carry them.

A NEW OPERA HOUSE
Again said to bs.Amopg the Possibilities of
the Future.


About onceih so often a report becomes
current in Wheeling that a new opera
house Is to be built.in the city. A gentle
man who might be supposed to have OPP
portunities to know, told an ISrEILloES-
CIR reporter recently that scheme was
well under way, with Henry E. Abbey
and John T. Ford, the well known theat-
rical managers, as its hackers, which con-
templated the erection Of an opera house
on the old Atheneum property. 1t was
said with great positiveness that the plans
had been drawn up, and all the arrange
ments made, and that ground would be
broken the coming spring.
The reporter thought such rumor was
Notwithstanding, and hunted up q well
known gentleman interested in the Athe-
noun lots. To an inquiry as to what
truth there was in the story, this gentle
man said:
"The report is premature. Both Abbey
and Ford have had such plan in mind
for several years, to my knowledge, and
there have been numerous inquiries for
those lots, but nothing definite has ever
been done in the matter"
It was said a year or SO ago that Manager
Mitchell, OF the Peoples Theatre, st.
Louis, and Mitchell's Pleasure Party, was
negotiating for property here with a view
to building an Opera House, and the Ford
story has been circulated before. Doubt.
less the present rumor is as intangible and
uniounded as these former ones.

THE CITY SALARIES.
sEyERA1 IMroRrANT oHANeEs
suggested By the Council Committee at IT.
Meeting Saturday Nlght-A Salary ordl.
nance With "Rlderss-The Duties and
tho Emolumsnts Both Altered.

There was highly interesting session OF
the Council Committee on Salaries satur-
day night. The meeting was called to.
prepare IN ordinance to be presented to
Council at its next meeting for its appro-
val, fixing the salaries of the various city
officials for the ensuing terms. There was
good deal OF talk, and several very reyo.
lutionary propositions were made by
members OF the committee. What the
committee did could not be very definite
Nv learned, US there was disposition on
the part Of members to be very reticent,
for the reason that II the nature oil the
recommendations to be made to Council
were TO become known before the report
was made, those affected. by the changes
might exert some efforts 10 defeat the
adoption OF the committees ordinance.
A motion was made TO recommend the
reduction OF the pay OF policemen to 500 a
month, and that of members OF the lire
department to So month, but members
Of the committee say these motions were
both defeated.
The salary OF the Clerk OF the Mnnici-
nal Court cannot BIO altered, as the term
does not expire until 1887. Those Of the
City Clerk and City Sergeant were not
touched.
The principal recommendation adopted
was one which alters the duties as we'll as
the emoluments OF two OF the officials
the Receiver and Clerk OF the First Branch
OF Council. Mr. B. A. Galligan, Clerk OF
the Board OF Public Works, has also
served as Clerk OF the FIRST Branch OF
Council and Clerk TO the Council Com.
mittees. For the latter service he is paid
$40 o year. 1t is recommended by the
Committee that this work be made part
OF the duties OF the City Receiver hcreaf-
ter, and that his salary he increased by
the amount OF 800, while that of the
Clerk Of the Board OF Public Works be
reduced by that sum. This would make
the Receivers salary 81, 200 and that. OF
the Clerk 1000. 1t is also proposed to
have the Receiver assist the City Clerk in
some OF his duties, and to assist in making
out the tax bills.
What, il any, other recommendations
were agreed upon could not be learned.
Council does not meet until Tuesday
hight of next week, and that is the last
meeting OF the present Council. The new
one will be elected on the fourth Thurs.
day OF this month, the 22d, and organized
on the following Saturday, the 24th. It's
first regular meeting will be held on the
fourth Tuesday OF January, the 9th.
