THE KILLING OF PHLEGGEER.
More Witnesses Describe How Palmer
Talked ard Acted.
He Had Been Drinking Hard for Over
a Year Previous, and Talked
Foolishly.

Department Two of the Superior Court
was crowded all day yesterday with per-
sons eager to hear the testimony in the
Palmer murder trial.
Judge CARRIER convened court promptly
at 10 A. NJ, and the defense called c. ~.
Wagner TO the stand for further cross
examination. Wagner said Palmer had
the appearance OF a drunken man. His
eyes showed an abnormal condition of
the mind. He was unusually talkatiye
and insisted upon divulging his private
affairs and secrets. The witness declared
that ne was annoyed with Palmer's
RECoUNTING OF HIS TROUBLES,
And endeavored to avoid him. Palmer
did not stagger, and he showed no indi-
cation of intoxication except in his con-
versation and the appearance of the eyes.
His eyelids dropped and the balls were
infamed. Palmer disclosed the fact that
his wife had refused to speak to him. He
almost cried while speaking Of this.
During the continuance Of the long
cross-examinatiOn General Hart asked
the witness whether he did not testify
yesterday that he did not notice the con-
dition of Palmer's eyes. The attorney
insisted that such was his testimony, and
last testimony. Mr.. Wagner said that he
had reference to the time when they were
in Wissemann's saloon when he said he
did not observe Palmer's eyes. 1t was
when out on the street that he had OBJ
served the condition OF his eyes. He at
no time thought that Palmer was insane.
The defense objected to Wagper's last
answer, and the court ordered it stricken
from the record.
NOT GRADING DRUNKS.
On redirect examination Attorney
Jones for the prosecution asked Wagner
to what extent Palmer was intoxicated
just prior to the tragedy. Judge CARRIER,
however, would not permit the question.
He said that he did not propose to enter
upon an inquir yas to different grades OF
druuks. 1t had been testified to that de-
fendant had taken two drinks, and as to
their effect would open up an endless in
quiry. The effect of various kinds OF
drinks, straight drinks, mixed drinks,
the condition of the system, and all that,
would be lugged in, and he did not pro-
pose to permit it.
The attorneys got into numerous wran-
giles during the examination OF this wit
ness, taking up much valuable time, and as
result he was still on the stand at noon.
The attorneys wanted to take recess,
but the court would not consent to it un-
til they finished with Wagner. The law
yers had only proceeded a few minutes
when they got into another alteration,
and Judge CARRIER surrendered, ordering
asreceSS until l:3O p NJ

Brock Doran is laid up at the police
station for repairs. He came in collision
yesterday with a beer-mug, and the re-
suit was disastrous to him, as it had been
on numerous occasions during the past
forty years.
This time, however, the beer-mug was
in other hands than his own Brock had
been surprising himself and delighting
his friends for some weeks past by keep
ing sober, but Yesterday morning he fell
from grace, and while working up a jag
was assaulted by the barkeeper of some
saloon, who cracked him on the forehead
with heavy glass mug.
When he presented himself at the po-
lice station he had a very ugly cash in his
forehead, from which the blood flowed
freely. Officer Naghel picked several
pieces Of glass opt OF the wound and
dressed it as well as he could.
Brock is very old-timer, and, while
generally good-natured and peaceable,
there was time when it took very bold
man to lay hands on him.

ADJUSTMENTS

A large audience at the Metropolitan
Theater last night witnessed a perform
ance by Frohman's company of the new
comedy, 1.-The Junior Partner" preceded
by charming curtain-raiser, Frederic
Lemaitre,' in which Henry Miller did a
very clever bit of acting-indeed, it was
an artistic piece of work. Miss Emily
Bancker also won deserved commenda-
ton for her acting in the same piece.
The Juaior Partner" would be a rafting
comedy If 1t were not so long drawn out.
Cut down one-third it would be long
enough, and not laugh in it be lost. It
is very humorous, the scenes provokingly
funny and the situations the most absurd
and ridiculous, but it would be more
merry if il were shorter. The fun of the
comedy depends mainly upon the efforts
of May Irwin, who is irresistibly COM
ical. There is quite too much for Mrs.
Rankin to do and say in the piece, and
the audience becomes justifiably weary
of the scheming mother she personates.

twenty-four musicians on this occasion,
it being the desire of the committeeman
of Director Neale-to have the series close

General MARITIME, Chairman, and James
f. Mills, Treasurer of the committee,
have reason to congratulate themselves
on the results of their public-spirted
efforts to provide pleasing and elevating
entertainment for the public during the

AT THE BATHS.
The Sacramento Swimming Clubs
Initial Entertainment.
a Large Throng Witness Some Daring
Aquatic Feats-How the Races
Resulted.

There was a large crowd at the Swim
ming Baths last evening to witness the
opening entertainment given by the Sac
ramento Swimming Club. All the seats
were occupied and large number OF
late-comers found standing room only.
The Hussar Band occupied platform
at the further end of the building and the
music discoursed by it seemed to have
unusual power and melody in the large,
roomy edifice.
The entertainment commenced with a
horizontal bar performance by Messrs.
Al. Kleinsorge, e. A. Cox, T. II. Holden
encores after each feat.
Richard Dale, II. d. Gamble and Rob
ert Philips gave an exhibition in floating
and fancy swimming, and they were fol-
lowed by a boys race, which was won by
Emery Nutting, Stockton lad.
Miss Maggie Young gave an exhibition
OF her skill in floating, which was great
ly admired.
j. H. Davis and t. J. Milliken dove the
length of the tank, a feat rarely accom-
plished, and Professors Dolan and Man
ming and the Irish Arab executed
remarkably excellent high and lofty
tumbllng, fancy diving and speedy
swimming.
The exhibition part of the entertain
ment concluded with swimming race
for a purse of $50, which was won by f..
b. Knowles of Stockton, against j. H.
Barry of this city
After the exhibition the host of SWIM
mers took to the water and furnished an
entertaining spectacle to the crowd,
which remained until late while the
Hussar Band was liberal and obliging in
filling the intervals with excellent selec-
tons.
A large number Of those present were
ladies, and many expressions of admira-
ton and enjoyment could be heard above
the music and splashing of the swim
mers.
1t is presumed that the club will repeat
its entertainment again during the fair.
The water was in splendid condition and
clear as crystal last night.

Killed Simply Because He was an
American.
LONDON, Sept. --latest advices re-
ceived from Genoa regarding the murder
of Frank Reilly, seaman of the United
States steamer Newark, who was killed
in a clearinghouse, shows that national
animus against Americans was the cause
of the crime. The proprietor of the
lodging-house, when the NewarB's men
applied for lodgings, used most abusive
language toward them, simply because
they were Americans. One Of those pres
ent, knowing the proprietor, advised the
men that it was unsafe for them to re-
main in the place. All the sailors started
for the door, whereupon the proprietor,
with knife in each hand, sprang toward
Reilly and stuck both weapons in his
back. Reilly staggered to the street,
where he fell and died in a few minutes.
The murder was entirely unproVoked,
and Reilly was killed for no reason than
that he was an American. In conse-
quence of the killing of Reilly, sailors of
the United States are not allowed to go
on shore while they remain at Genoa.
