THE LAST OF JONES.
He Was Manned by a Railroad Train
and Killed by Dirt Cart.

A fatal accident occurred at the work house
yesterday. VIM. ii. Jones alias "Peg Leg
Jones was the victim and his remains are
now in the dead house. Peg Leg" Jones was
a colored man about fifty years old, who, for a
number Of years past, has made his home on
the farm. Several years ago he met with an
accident while crossing the Baltimore and Po-
tomac railroad track in front of a train. He
was unable to get across the track before the
train reached him and his leg was cut off.
After he recovered he secured Mr. Darlington
as his counsel to enter suit against the railroad
company and verdict of $4,000 dam
ages was returned. The railroad COM
pany appealed the case and Mr.
Darlington secured a compromise from the
railroad company for more than half the
amount of the verdict. Knowing that the rail-
road had better case than Jones Mr.. Caring
ton urged him to accept the compromise offered.
but his friends, ignorant of the law, persuad ed
him that his counsel wanted to make the differ
ence. He thereupon refused to accept the
terms of the compromise and wanted the case
settled In court few weeks later the case
was settled and poor Jones was left out in the
cold.
From that time Jones seemed to lose his
mind and has lived at the expense of the Dis
trict most of the time since. When arraigned
in court Jones' plea was always:
Use always guilty of everything you say"
Yesterday afternoon Jones WAS at work on
the farm and when a load of dirst was dumped
the cart or dirt landed on Jones and damaged
his wooden leg. 1t also fractured his skull and
caused his death. His body is held for friends
to claim it and unless that is done the inter-
ment will be made in potter's field.

Jimmy Keenan, Knocks Out Johnnie
Monahan Near Annapolis.

About dark last night Jimmy keenan, and
Johnnie Monahan, the Baltimore light weights.
met on the banks Of the Severn, near Annapo-
lis, after having been prevented by the marines
from fighting on the government farm and,
surrounded by a score of spectators, fought to
a finish in three rounds for $780,
Monahan's weight was 1875 pounds and his
height s feet inches. Keenan, weighed
1872 pounds and is feet inches tall Keenan,
was the favorite, with no bets taken against
him. Both men wore three ounce gloves and
spared cautiously in the first round, which
ended in three minutes, with no advantage to
either.
The second round was more viciously fought.
Both men cinched and banged each other at
short quarters. Monahan was knocked down.
The last round was desperately fought. and
claims of foul were made by Monahans hacker,
but were not allowed. Monahan was again
knocked down and at the end of the round he
said lie had enough. The purse was awarded
to Keenan,. MOnahan was not badly hurt.
Steps have been taken for the arrest of the
principals.

Pleading Guilty to Manslaughter.

In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing-
ham, today the case Of Joseph Shorter, indicted
for murder, was called. Gen. Z. C. Darlington
for the defendant said that on conference with
the parents of the boy he had advised that the
plea Of not guilty be withdrawn and a plea of
guilty. of manslaughter accepted. The boy
agreed 10 do whatever they advised and the
government was willing to accept such plea
Mr.. Lipscomb said he was slow III accepting
such action in parricide cases. In this case a
number of boys were skylarking last 4th of
July near 10th and W streets, and defend
ant ran home, got a fork aad stabbed Edward
Smith, the wound causing his death. He did
not believe that they could under the evidence
claim a verdict Of murder. He, therefore, was
willing to accept the plea. Mr.. Darlington
then asked that sentence be postponed until
Saturday week, and remarked that the
court in imposing sentence should consider the
time spent in Jail
And the length of time" added Mr.
Lipscomb, 1.-The victim has laid in his grave"
The case went over.

The Steele Court. Martial.

To the Editor of TIE EVENING STAR:
1t would seem on the surface that the case
of Dell Wild. the soldier who was first insulted
and then condemned by Lieut.. Steele, has been
developed at a most opportune time, as it may
turn little light on some of the causes for
such wholesale assertions in our army II the
public will watch the result of the court-martial
appointed to try Lieut.. Steele it will be still
further enlightened by the strained quality of
mercy which is visited upon an officer and the
kind meted out to private soldier.
1t Is well Unknown fact that soldiers who have
refused to do scullion's work in officers
kitchens and declined to black the shoes OF the
autocrats family have been condemned to sleep
upon the bare floor of the guard-house and
have only bread and water for a month. Is
this republican form of government in its
broadcast sense? In monarchial England a
powder monkey can rise to be "a ruler of the
queens navee" and private soldier may win
the baton of a field marshal. The late war
broke down some of the barriers to advance
ment in the army. But our gallant blue
jackets are barred out from the quarter deck
no matter what deeds of daring they may DO.
Is this II defacto government of the people for
the people? E.

THE wOMAN's LIBERAL UNION.
Speeches Made at the Closing Sessions
Last Evening.

At the afternoon session of the woman's
national liberal union yesterday Mr.. VIM. r.
Aldrich, secretary of the union, made an ad-
| dress on public defenders" He advocated
| the employment Of a class of public officers,
to be called public defenders, whose duty it shall
be to guard the interests Of the accused in our
courts. Mrs. Clara Foltz, the California
lawyer, Endorsed Mr.. Adrich's proposition and
gave her own experiences in witnessing in
justice done to accused people in her state.
She then turned to the subject of woman
suffrage and said that she thought the leaders
of the movement had been leading it on to
certain defeat. She boldly claimed before an
audience of woman suffragists that the whole
movement was a failure; that the woman's
rights party had done little and the temperance
unions even less. Her remarks caused decided
surprise and CONSERVATION. She said in answer
to question from the audience that women
did not have the ballot because they did not
want it.
Other speeches were made by Mr. Richard
Hinton, Mai. Blood, Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood,
Mrs. DR.. Hale, Mrs. Collier, Mrs. Gage and
Mrs. Charlotte Smith.

OF the place for holding the next meeting No
conclusion was reached in the matter, but
Chicago seemed to be the favorite of the con-
vention.
Mrs. Eliza Orchard Conner made an address
on woman and the church." She described
the heartlessness of formal religion and said
that In her opinion protesting Christians were
the wickedest of all people. She made a fierce
attack on the church and her TRADE seemed to
give the greatest satisfaction to her audience.
Mrs. Josephine Cables Aldrich gave a talk on
the subject of Harmonious work" in which
she discussed the condition of women. the
church and a number of various other things.
She was followed by Miss Valtairin de Cleyre,
the poet of the convention, who INDUCED in a
deep and scholarly dissertation on 1.-The posi-
ton of woman in the present crisis" Her re-
marks were decided revolt, not only against
the union of church and state but against the
actuating authority that lies back of both of
them rs well.
Miss Susan H. Wixon then, by request, reread
her poem of the morning entitled when
WOmanhood Awakes."
Mrs. Gage delivered the closing address of
the evening on the Scientific basis of immor
