court room when the defendant; John
Jones, wNe put on the stand. The testi-
mony was substantially as follows: / be-
came acquainted with theF Fuller family some
weeks ago. Mrs. Fuller sent boy to my
shop asking me to give her washing. This
did, and upon several invitations from
Mrs. Fuller, visited the house. was in
the habit of visiting the house often, in
TACT. l had standing invitation to come
to the house. These visits were repeated
until at length Mrs. Fuller told me she
loved me and said she was afraid would
forget her. l was in the habit of going there
Sundays to dinner. In regard to the
charge of rape as preferred in the complaint,
Jones gave an unqualified denial to the
whole matter. He said he had never laid
Il hand on the girl in his life except in a
playful and innocent manner. When
asked about making the girl presents, he
said that one day boy came around with
a locket and Ella asked him to buy it for
her, and he did SO, paying one dollar for it,
but denied having promised her any more
presents under, any consideration. When
Mrs. Fuller came home from the skating
rink, about three weeks ago, he was in the
house with Ella; but he did not get in
through the window; neither was the light
blown out. When Mrs. Fuller came in she
manifested no surprise at his being there
because she sent for him and of course ex-
pected to find him there. He denied being
on the bed with the girl when the mother
came in, but said he,
were on the bed together afterwards. On the
night that damon and Pythias" was
played at the opera house, Mrs. Fuller
came to my shop and when got home at
IL o'clock she was sitting in my chair. She
stayed there until commenced to undress
to go to bed. She has come to my room
several times and asked me to go out to
walk with her. Ella came to my shop for
the last time last Wednesday. When was
at Mrs. Fuller's last Sunday evening. told
her did not want to be bothered with her
any more.
Deputy District Attorney Scallon then
asked: Are you masher?"
Lawyer Smith-"No, he is not. Ii he had
your feet he would be-"
Jones finished his evidence by saying that
he believed that Mrs. Fuller had put up a
job''on him because he had refused to con-
tinue his visits to her house. He said that
the Fullers had continued doing his wash
ing for several days after Mrs. Fuller had
claimed to know Of the alleged assault.
This ended the testimony in the case.
After listening to the arguments OF the re-
spective counsel, Judge French concluded
that there was not sufficient evidence pro-
duced to hold the defendant over and he
was accordingly discharged.

STREET CAR TROUBLES.
The Police Make Raid ON the Chicago
Strikers.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The west division
street railway began moving their cars on
Madison street this morning under the pro-
lection OF large number OF police. A bar
ricade had been erected at one point on the
route but the police charged the crowd US
ing their clubs i.eely, and two men were
seriously injured. The police took the az.
gressive, and as it was known that they had
orders to shoot, the crowd hesitated about
becoming too demonstrative. Arrests were
made on every hand OF persons jeering or
in any way seeking to create disturbance
and the malefactros were carted off to the
police stations. Over 100 arrests were
made during the morning. The cars made
one round trip successfully and then started
on the second trip. Madison street was
densely thronged along the entire length,
but the large force of police succeeded in
maintaining comparative good order. AT
noon the cars were still running, carrying,
however, only policemen and no serious
outbreak has occurred.

Great Damage Done by the Sudden Ris-
ing of the Rivers.

yEosHo FALLS, Kan, July 3.-The river
has risen steadily for the past twenty-four
hours, and is still rising. It flows in steady
current through the main street. All OF
the east part OF the city is under water.
In the bottoms the crops are all gone and
most OF the stock drowned. So far as
known no lives have been lost, although
many families have been driven to the Sec
ond story OF their dwellings, and the floors
OF the business houses on Main street are
covered from one to five inches. The water
is about 20 inches deep in Main street in
front of the postoffice. All dwellers in the
north east quarter OF the city have moved
ont during the night. The firing OF guns
and ringing OF bells has been heard up the
river and fears are entertained for the safe
ty of some families. Boats are out rescue
ing them, but the rise was SO sudden that
nearly all the boats escaped on the morn

Incidents. The wife and thirteen-year-old

Mrs. Plnkham and her daughter occupied

tion forming a rear apartment Mrs.
Rowell and Miss johnson sat near them.
Suddenly there came a noise, which Mrs.
Kowell says sounded like the falling Sf a
window sash. She looked quickly around
and saw Mrs. Pinkham's daughter, fho
was facing the partition, Jump from her
seat and fall with shrek on the floor.
The other passengers rushed in excitement
to the spot. The girl was dead and an ex-
animation showed that bullet had en-
tered her breast and had lodged inher
heart. There was a hole through the par-
tltlon opposite to where Miss Pinham had
Deen sitting, which had been made by the

COLORADO BRAVES.
General Anger Believes That the
Reports of the Ute Troubles
Are Exaggerated.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Adjutant- General
Drnm has received d report from General
anger dated Fort Leavenworth, July I'd,
in regard to the reported outbreak OF Ute
Indians in Colorado. General Anger says
that Carlisle from whom came most of the
sensational telegrams about the Indians, is
the agent of an English cattle syndicate and
NOT. he is informed an American citizen, or
intends to be. He is informed that the
avndicate does not own the land on which
;ts cattle range, and that it is public land.
General Anger enclosed extracts from the
Rocky Mountain News Of Denver, which
entirely without foundat ton, but are greatly
exaggerated Possibly there has been some
trouble, the General thinks, but there is
every reason to believe that it has been
brought about by the cowboys, who have
been spelling for fight for some
time and probably resolved to shoot all
Indians found away from their rese rvatiOn.
The report that whites and Indians have
been killed lacks confirmation.
HOW TO KEEP THEM.
The following telegram relative to the
lite Indians was read at the War Depart
ment this afternoon from General Anger:
Colonel Swain telegraphs that the Ute
chiefs promise not to make any more re-
prisals for the killing OF the Ute family on
the Dolores. He says that full rations
should be issued Immediately to those In
dians to prevent them leaving their reser-
walton to hunt. I invite attention to the
Immediate necessity for feeding these In
dians 80 to prevent them from leaving
their reservation. 1t is impossible to pre-
vent trouble between them and the cow
boys if they leave their reservation to
hunt

FEARS OF FOUL PLAY.
A Pretty Irish Girl who Either Drowned
Herself or Was Killed by Her Lover.

New YORK, July 3.-Bessie Gully, apretty
Irish girl, left a widowed mother in Ireland,
and came to this country three years ago,
when she was seventeen years old. She
had two sisters in this county, who are
employed as domestics. She secured en-
ployment in Thomas Kelly's publishing
house and began learning bookbinding.
She remained in Mr.. Kelly's employ up
to last Saturday, when she disappeared
from her home, and yesterday her body
was found in the Harlem river. Bessie's
friends think she met with foul play.
They say that on Saturday evening she
threw shawl over her shoulders and went
out saying she was going for short walk.
She did uot come home, and they heard
from the neighbors that she had been seen
with Cornelius Owens, cart driver, walk
ing toward the river.
She had been keeping company with Ow-
ems about eight months. Owens was found
and asked what he had done with Miss.
Gully. He said he had taken walk with
her on Saturday night, and at $50 o'clock
had bid her good-by. Miss Culy's friends
say they heard that two men had taken
Miss Gull Z out in q boat.

quently found the door locked when he
came home late at night and a little too
full to find the key-hole, if he had been
allowed to carry key, and that he
sometimes kept himself awake by racing
up the long gravel walk and throwing
himself with full force against the huge
oak doors, in vain efforts to break them
in. But the doors never yielded, and
he always retired from the contest a
sorer but soberer man. On one evening
he disclosed the canker in his heart by
confdentially asking one of his COM
panions what he did when he went home
a little late and triae unsteady, if his
wife scolded and fretted all the remain

the matter. The rest of the party no.
ticed, however, that the sadness seemed
to suddenly disappear from his manner,
and an expression of hope and even Of
confidence took its place. A few more
bottles were opened, and then the party
adjourned. It was late, and as most Of
them lived in the hotel, they retired to
their rooms, but not all of them to

with the remains of an old one, while
