ASKING FOR A NEW TRIAL
" Gentleman George" EIwood Asks
The Court For Another Chance.
THE CASE WAS ARGUED TO-DAY.
Elwood's Counsel Claims That The Prose-
cution Introduced Irrelevant Testi-
mony As To His Previous Record
to Prejudice the Jury.

The famous case Of Gentleman George"
A. Elwood was up before the full bench
of the Supreme Court to-day on the Pc
tition of Elwood for new trial.
Elwood, it will be remembered, was
convicted at the September term of the
court Of common pleas for burglarizing
the house of Charles B. Humphrey Of
this city. Among the evidence intro
duced at his trial which tended to show
that he had been engaged In a burglary in
Hartford, Conn, subsequent to the
Humphrey burglary. also that he had
served term in the Ohio State prison for
burglary, TO all of which testimony the
defendannt's counsel took exceptions and
because of the admission of which a new
trial is now asked.
The defendant raises as the principal
grounds of his exceptions the following
points:
The State had no right to prove his
previous bad character until he him self
mad put his good character in issue.
That the defendant had the right to
cross-examine any government witness to
test his recollection and to show the
probabilities of his being able to recollect
the alleged fact to which he had testified
in his direct testimony.
That the State had no right to intro
duce testimony tending to show that the
defendant might have been engaged in
commission of some other offence.
That the defendant could not be re-
quired to testify TO any former conviction,
except upon the production OF the record
of such former conviction.
That the court in charging the jury had
no right to presume that witness for the
defence WAS either wilfulIv falsifyin1 or
ignorautly mistaken.
That the State had no right to exhibit
and parade before the jury the imple-
ments ordinarily used in the ommission
of such offences as that charged against
the defendant, until such implements
were proved to be the property Of the de-
fendant.
That the Court erred in admitting I'M
material testimony prejudicial to the de-
fendant.
The court erred In allowing the State to
introduce and present to the jury pic
-tnre taken OF said defendant, said picture
being taken TO be placed in the rogues'
gallery.
In support of the third point the de
fendant's counsel cites the recent case of
John Boyd and Eugene Stanley, plaintiffs
in error, against the United States, tried
at the October term of the Supreme Court
Of the United States Jan. 4, 1892 The
plaintifs were on trial for murder, and
evidence was introduced tending to show
that they were also connected with sew
eral burglaries. In that case the United
States Supreme Court granted new
trial.
1t is upon this point that the defend
ants counsel, Charles +. Baldwin, laid
special stress In his argument before the
full bench this morning. The case was
held for advisement.

THE PROPOSED EXTENSION.
Electric Street Cars from Pawtuxet
to Lakewood Probable.

The meeting between the special COM
mittee of the citizens of Pawtuxet and
Lakewood and the representatives Of the
Union Railroad Company took place yes
terday afternoon at 2:30 at the office of
the company.
The object OF the meeting was to con-
slider the advisability Of extending the
electric road from Pawtuxet to Lake.
wood. The citizens Of the two villages
were represented by the committee, con-
sisting oe Messrs. A. l.. Andrews, j. i.
Armstrong. Charles f. Hubbard, +. Il.
Field and Il. G.. s. Turner The repre-
sentatves of the Union Railroad Com
pany were President Jesse Metcalf
Lucian Sharpe, B. A. Jackson and Gen.
eral Manager Albert Potter.
The proposed extension Is across the
bridge through Fair street and by the
school house. The distance is an even
mile. The route is quite level and the
number of inhabitants who will be
reached is about 900 to 1000. IL was
shown to the company by the committee
that the average number of those who
would use the cars would not be less than
120 to $50 per day.
This would he equivalent to an income
of Sl2 TO SIS per day and would amount
TO u ten per cent. income on $4,000. the
cost of building and equipping the road
with light rail and smaller cars are now
uScu OH Tic ItEuidT TOutt NOuld
not exceed one-third that sum. So that
allowing for cost of maintenance, depre-
citation, repairs and other expenses the
road could be made to pay expenses from
the outset IL the committees estimates
are correct. The committee further esti-
mated an incr. ase Of from 20 to % per
cent. in travel in short time after the
road began to run.
These figures, however, cover only the
cost of carrying passengers over the ex-
tension, and in them no account Is taken
of the cost of transporting passengers
from Pawtuxet to Providence and re-
turn--ail of which must be figured into
the cost of transportation from Lakewood
to Providence.
The running time now between Provi-
dence aud Pawtuxet Is 81 minutes. and 40
would be ample time for the run from
Lakewood to Providence. The presen /
method of travel is by the Oakland Beach
railroad and the New York, Providence &
Boston. The time required by railroad is
about 80 minutes.
The representatives Of the Union Rail-
road Company were apparently pleased
with the prospects of the extension
more so in fact than the special commit ee
bf citizens anticipated; at not dis
tant day the representative Of the u. X.
". Co. will meet the committee at Paw
tuxet and make a thorough examination
of the proposed and in the not distant
future. IL is hoped that the road will be
built.

His Marriage With Countess Hoyos VIII
Take Place Next Tuesday

His Marriage with Countess Hoyos Will
Take Place Next Tuesday.
VIENNA, June 1s.-The marriage oi
Count Herbert Bismarck and Countess
Marguerite Hoyos will take place next
Tuesday at the Episcopal Church in this
city.
Prince Bismarck will arrive hero on
Sunday for the purpose of attending the
ceremony. Some curiosity had been
manifested as to the manner in which he
would be received by Prince Reuss, the
German am AMBASSADOR. All speculation
has been brought to an end by the an
nouncement that has been made that
Prince Reuss has been granted leave OF
absence by his government, beginning
Saturday next, and that he will have
taken his departure from Vienna prior to
the arrival OF Prince Bismarck in order tc
avoid meeting him.
The fact that the AMBASSADOR Is to be
away from the city while Prince Bis
marck Is here Ia believed to effectually
dispose OF the stories that a reconcilia-
tion is imminent between Emperor Will
liam and Prince Bismarck.

WHERE DID He COME FROM? ?
A Tame Coon Of a JocuIar Turn Of
Mind Captured.

For three or four nights past some ami
nal. which from the nature of his depre-
dations was suspected of being monkey,
has been enjoying himself highly in the
Vaughan Building, on Custom House
street.
The insurance Office of Starkweather &
Shepley on the second floor seemed to
have a particular fascination for him,
whatever he was. A hole in Ibe floor OF
this office, where an elevator is TO be put
in, afforded him a means of access to the
Office and he held high carnival there
after Office hours.
He seemed to take particular delight in
mixing the ink with the mucilage and
visa versa. in destroying almost every
thing within reach and in stepping In the
ink and then leaving his tracks all over
the desks and floor.
The character of his little jokes con-
WINGED all hands that it must be mon
key, and last night the carpenters who
new Office on the ground Of the building
set a trap for him.
This morning when they returned to
work they found the trap sprung. and on
making an investigation discovered that
IT contained a nice fat coon.
Where the animvl came from or how it
came in the building has not yet been ex
planned. Nobody in the building knows
anything about him. The coon is tame
and has evidently been somebody's pet, but
how it came in the Vaughan building is
conuipdrum, unless il came with a car
load of fruit to dyer street and then made
its escape. which IS a very plausible ex-
PLANTATION for his appearance in Custom
House street.
The carpenter who trapped Mr..
Coon has not as yet decided what to do
with him unless he gives IL TO the city for

tute the committee. Chairman Winston
of the Chicago local committee was al
lowed to report about the wigwam He
quoted the testimony of architects and en-
gineers that 1t was safe and statements
Of the builders that 1t would be done in
time.
Chicago then put in its modest request
for more tickets. w. e. Goudy and Pot
ter Palmer headed a delegation OF citi-
zens and Mr.. Winston acted as their
spokesman. When they had retired there
