THE WARD TRIAL.

Legal Tilts Over the Admissibility of Evi-
dence MS 10 Adler's Condition.
TIE tenth day of the trial of Frank X Ward,
for the killing of Maurice Adler, came to an
end yesterday'without the defense finishing their
side of the case. 1t was expected that the di-
rect testimony would all be in with Yesterdays
session, but legal fight took place over the
admission of some testimony showing Adler's
condition previous to his being shot by Ward.
1t was the purpose of the defence to prove that
Ad Ter was suffering from an incurabe disease,
and that Dr.J Dudley Morgan was attending him
for such a malady Dr. Morgan was on the
stand and was asked if such was not the fact.
The Government at once objected, and as their
was some doubt on all sides as to the admissi-
bility of such evidence recess was taken to
allow both sides to hunt up precedents.
On reassembling District Attorney Hoge op-
posed the motion, but Chief Justice Bingham
agreed to allow it. Dr. Morgan then refused
to answer, but Judge Bingham commanded
him to answer. This he did, and tho defeace
accomplished its purpose. The theory of the
defence as developed yesterday is to prove
that Adler was suffering from disease which
could not be cured and while in this state
the operations of the attending physicians
caused blood poisoning and death. This theory
was followed yesterday in Dr. Morgan's testi-
mony, and later on by that of DR.. Norton, who
attended Adler.
Previous to this testimony there was intro
duced that of Mrs. Cannon and J. Clay Hewes
| to show Wards peculiar actions, while the
| deposition of DR.. Hamilton Leach was allowed
/ to be read. DR.. Kempster, the insanity expert
! who figured in the Guiteau trial, was on the
stand when the court adjourned, q legal tilt
having occurred over hypothetical question
asked by Mr.. Coleman. This will be settled on
Monday. The Government has score of wit
nesses in rebuttal and it really looks as if the
| case would last out all of next week.

GRATEFUL sHRINERS.
Almas Temples Beautiful Gift to Retiring
Potentate Walker.

Almas Temples Beautiful Gift to Retiring
Potentate Walker.
Last evening there was an unusually large
attendance at Scottish Rite Cathedral of the
Mobiles of Almas Temple of the Mystic Shrine.
Officers were elected for the ensuing year, but
the principal event was the presentation of
handsome gold watch, chain and templar
charm to the retiring potentate, George H.
Walker. For four years he has served as pre-
siding officer of the organization. Much of
the success of the organization, which is now
one of the most tiourishing of the Masonic
bodies in this Jurisdiction, has been
due to his zeal and energy, and when
he announced, short time ago, his
purpose of retiring from the Office of Potentate,
the members of Almas Temple resolved to
show their appreciation of his efforts AS re-
suit of this determination he was last evening
presented with beautiful imported watch Of
the finest make, the gold cases being of special
and appropriate design, bearing the following
inscription: presented to George III, Walker,
Potentate, by the Mobiles of Almas Temple, A.
| A. o. n. NJ. S., as token of love and esteem,
December co. 1890" The chain and charm
were also of a handsome design. The pre-
| sentation was made by Hon. John W. Ross,
who eloquently spoke of the services rendered by
| Potentate Walker, and expressed the regret of
| its members that he had concluded to retire
from its leadership. Mr.. Walker was evidently
surprised, but managed to express his gratitude
! The election of officers resulted rs follows

New and sure cures for consumption each
quite distinct from the others, are being discov
cred with such rapidity since Professor KoCH's
lymph was first injected into the consciousness
of a waiting world that the most eXacting and
whimsical comsumptive will no longer have an
excuse for dying because his taste in the matter
of method of cure cannot be met to nicely
The latest discovery of a cure for consumption
is announced from Michigan, and it was made
by two eminent physicians after several months
experimenting. 1t not only cures cases in the
earlier stages of the disease, but, according to
the preliminary reports, actually snatches the
consumptive from his grave-clothes and makes
him robust in few days. They don't do things
by halves out West.

1t is sincerely to be hoped, for the sake of the
wretched and unhappy masses of Ireland, that
Mr.. GLADSTONE has not determined to give up
his efforts in behalf of Home Rule as was re-
ported from London few days ago. But if
the old man has been filled with disgust and
despair at the turn things have taken, it is
hardly more than might be expected. The
spectacle of DAvITT, PARNELL, and other Irish
leaders stirring up mobs of their fellow-country-
men, by the use of bitter denunciations and
Billingsgatc, to attack one another, is well cal.
culated to cause even thoughtful Irishmen, who
put personal considerations aside and only de-
sire the well being of the whole people, to retire
in silence from the field.

by two unknown negroes. Mr.. Rabbit was on
Four-and-a-Half street near Virginia avenue,
and was compelled to go up behind the

him in the face with his hat and then seized
him and went through his pockets. He had
twenty-eight dollars, all of which the highway
men secured, and made good their escape.
