AFTERNOON SESSION.


Athena Linberg said she resided at the
northeast corner of Twenty-eighth and L
streets. She was not personally acquainted
with defendant; knew him when she saw
him. Her father was not an intimate
friend of Lowells, but had bought hav
occasionally of the latter. On the after
noon of the day of the homicide she saw
the defendant between the hours of and
6, nearer 8. She was in the ward when
Lowell called and asked to see her papa.
When the latter was called, Lowell said he
wanted papa TO go up to the brewery with
him, where he was going to fight. Papa
declined, and Lowell said he did not want
papa TO fight, he only wanted him for a
witness. When papa declined, he asked to
borrow pistol. When he could not get a
pistol he wanted to borrow gun, but he
got neither. She said that she and Mr..
Hartman, who was with her, stood Just in
side the fence, about seven feet from Mr..
Lowell, and could plainly hear all he said.
Upon croSs-eXamination General Hart
asked her if she knew of a proposition
made to her father to 20 to Germany: if
she knew J. q. Meserye and several other
parties. To all of which she gave mega
tive answer Mr.. Johnson objected. upon
the ground that the questions were entirely
foreign to the issue, and not in cross-exam-
ination.
General Hart said he intended to prove
that Miss Linbergs father had put up Job
to get s., 900 out of the defendant in the
case. For that sum of money he had agreed
TO leave the country, go to Germany, and
not be present AT the trial, or to give testi-
mony that Lowell had called upon him at
the time and place spoken of, TO invite him
TO 60 on friendly hunt He had threat
ened that If he did not receive this money
he would give evidence in this trial dam
aging to the defense. These threats were
made once to J. q. Meserve, once to Mr.
Hackney, once TO Mr.. Lowell in Jail. and
also to Mr.. Lowells son. The Court sus-
tanned Mr.. Johnson's objection, and the de-
Tense noted an objection.
John Hartman a young journeyman
tailor IN the employ of Anderson & John
son was the next witness. His testimony
was IN almost every particular that of the
preceding witness. He was with Miss
Linberg at the time of Lowell's visit, when
the latter, it is alleged, spoke about trouble
at the brewery, and asked to borrow q pis-
tol. His croSs-examination was very
lengthy, being obliged to give an account
| OF himself from the time he left Sweden.
the place of his nativity Since then he
had lived in London, Chicago, Minnea-
polls, Memphis, Texas and San Francisco.
He said Lowell was sober; at least that was
his judgment
DR.. G. A. White, County Physician. who
held the post morton examination, de-
scribed the wound, stating that death re-
suited from its effects, etc
George w. Nichols testified that he was
acquainted with the defendant and also
knew the deceased in his life time. While

A s.sfadman,sY Legacy.

"Sirew exclaimed a man in the homel Y
garb of a mechanic to Richelieu, Prime Min
ister of France, as he was entering his pal
ace; "Sire, / have made a discovery which
shall make rich and great the nation which
shall develop it. Sire, will you give me an
audiencew
Richelieu, constantly importuned, finally
ordered the ''madman'' imprisoned. Even
in jail he did not desist from declaring his
"delusion," which one day attracted the at
tention of British nobleman, who heard
De Causes story, and developed his discov-
cry OF steam powerl &,
All great discoveries are at first derided.
Seven years ago a man yet under middle
age, enriched by business which covered
the continent, found himself suddenly
stricken down. When his physicians said
recovery was impossible, he used new dis
covery, which, like all advances in science,
had been opposed bitter y by the schoolmen.
Nevertheless ii cured him. and out OF graft
tude therefor he consecrated a part of his
wealth to the spreading of its merits before
the world. Such in brief is the history of
Warmers safe cure, which was won, accord
ing to the testimony of eminent persons the
most deserved reputation ever accorded TO
any known compound, and which is finally
winning on its merits alone the approval of
the most conservative practitioners. Its fame
now belts the globe.-The Herald,

Lost Hls Lif. Coz AM ola Eat.

LAwREScEBURG, Ind, Jan. 10. - Daniel
Webster, a farmland employed by Mr..
Hayes on the Guilford pike, near Lawrence
burg, started for Lawrenceburg yesterday in
company with William Carter, The pair
were walking along the track of the Big
Four Road, and when near the Hardentown
bridge train was heard approaching. AS
it came nearer the two men stepped on op-
posite sides OF the track to allow it to pass,
but just as the engine was within few yeet
of them Webster's hat blew off and landed
on the opposite side of the track Without
needing the engine the hatless man sprang
after the worthless head-cover but had
scarcely reached the middle of the track
when the engine struck and hurled him full
twenty feet away. The train was stopped as
soon as it could be done, and his dead and
mangled body was taken aboard and brought
to Lawrenceburg Coroner Jackson was no
titled and will hold an inquest tomorrow.
No blame could be attached 10 the railroad,
as the man wilfully sacrificed his life for an
old hat not worth more than twenty-five
cents, and which he could have recovered
without any risks as soon as the train had
passed. He was a single man.

Brutally Assaulted.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Jan. 10.-As a
drummer by the name of NJ. 7. Batchelder,
representing a Boston house. got on an ac-
oommodation train at Williamsburg, on the
B. and O. Railroad, last night, he was met
by another drummer of the same city by
the name of ]. b. Leidig, representing Pat
ton & Waightington. Leidig began using
the most foul and abusive language, and
without the slightest apparent provocation,
began beating Batchelder in a most shame
full manner. As soon as possible Deputy
United States Marshal Mehen and Judge
Stealey separated them, but not until
Batchelder had been most numerically
beaten. He is lying now in critical condi-
ton at Hills Hotel, in this city, and his
physician fears conclusion of the brain. His
face and head are terribly beaten. his back
wrenched, left temple seriously hurt. and
his laws SO swollen that he can eat nothing
but soft food. The assault was most brutal
one. Leidfg has not been arrested.

FREE MASONRY.
jefferson Davis' Opinion of the Order-He
Believes 1t to Ee i'm Itself Good Thing.

New ORLEANS, Jan. S.-Some one recently
mailed to jefferson Davis at his home in
.Beauvoir, Miss, paper headed, "A Sum-
mary" containing the following paragraph: :
Benedict Arnold, first traitor to American
liberty, learned his patriotism in Hiram
Masonic Lodge, No l, New Haven, Conn.
and died Free Mason ip good and regular
standing; Aaron Burr, another traitor to the
Government, plotted his treason in Royal
Arch cipher, and also died a Free and Ac-
cepted Mason in good, regular standing; JEFF
ferson Davis, a Free and Accepted Mason,
led the great rebellion, and the fact did not
even taint his Masonic standing, but did
have much to do in securing his pardon"
Mr.. Davis incloSed the sheet to his friend,
Colonel ]. l.. Power, of Jackson, Miss, Sec
retary of the Grand Lodge of Mississippi
Masons, with the following letter:
