Both horses fell into the conduit. and
the driver was thrown from his seat

THREE ALLEGED MURDERERs.
Judge Moore Fixes Jan. 20 as the
Day of,TriaL
One Of the Prisoners . Woman with
an Infant in Arms.

That the prosecution OF election frauds
In Kings County has effectually blocked
the routine business in the Court Of Ses-
sions. in Brooklyn. was demonstrated
again to-day, when three alleged mur-
derers were arraigned before Judge
Moore to have the time fixed for trial.
The first prisoner brought before the
bar was Mrs. Kate Sprecker, the wife of
a tailor. who shot and killed her lover,
Alexander Kirchner. on June 23 last.
Mrs. Kirchner carried In her arms her
baby, which was born In Jail since her
arrest.
Kirchner and Mrs Sprecker had been
intimate. and when her husband learned
Of their Illicit relations she called upon
her lover to support her. He refused,
and she shot him dead.
Her lawyer. Foster l.. Backus, object
ed to the case being put on the cal
endar for immediate trial. He called the
attention Of the Court to the fact that
he was engaged in the cases against
laws.
Joseph Hall. indicted for murder in
the first degree. for having on May l3
last shot and killed George Phillyss In
Williamsburg. was next arraigned.
Hall and his brother, Robert, came to
Brooklyn from Steelton. Pa, to buy
green goods or Phillips. They armed
themselves and prepared TO cary Off the
swindlers' money. A fight ensued. and
Phillips was shot. Robert Hall was ex-
onerated by the Coroner's jury and
was discharged.
Lawyer Jere Weinberg. who appeared
for Hall, put in the same plea that Mr.
Backus had offered.

Rare Presence Of Mind of o Young
Woman on Staten Island.

WEST BRIGHTON. s. l., Jan. D-.
One of the most daring burglaries ever
committed on Staten Island was reported
to Police Headquarters early this morn
Ing.
Between midnight and o'clock this
morning Miss Jennie Gassline, twenty
years old, who Is the guest Of B. w.
Hunt, with her mother on Parker street,
corner OF Woodruff lane, was awakened
by some one trying to place hand
under her pillow.
She opened her eyes, thinking II was
her mother. When she recovered she
saw the form OF a man moving out Of
the room through the door.
Miss Gass'ine jumped out of bed and
rushing into the hall saw the man
standing near the bathroom door. W
He grabbed hold of her and forced her
into the bathroom. Here Miss Gassline
freed one hand and reached for an elec-
tric bntton, pressing 1t and turning on
all The electric lights in the house.
The man started to go downstairs.
when Miss Gassline picked up a bottle
OF ammonia and emptied part Of tho
contents Of the bottle over him. This
stopped the mans progress for a minute
and she grabbed from his hand her gold
watch that he had taken from UNDER
meath her pillow.
While the man and woman were strug-
Cling In the bathroom the burglar held
revolver at her head, which frightened
her so that she could not cry out.
As the burglar rushed downstairs Misc
Gassline threw the rest of the contents
OF the bottle OF ammonia over him. The
man disappeared through door into the
lane beside the house. ts

the young lady, her mother and a SER
want At 10 o'clock the servant heard
noise in the house, but upon investiGa-
tion no one was discovered. 1t Is thought
that the man was in the house all the
earlier part OF the night. -.
Workingmen who were repairing the
house had left ladder standing at the
side of the house, and 1t is supposed that
the thief climbed up the ladder and en-
tered the house. The wrists OF Miss
Gassline are considerably bruised from
the strong grip of the burglar on her
arms and wrists. The police are looking
for the burglar.

Mr.. Dalzell began by recapitulating the
charges he had made against Or. John

Johnson manufactured certain kinds of
street railway rails behind the protection
Of 1870 patents, and wanted railway rails
to go on the free list; that he coerced
his employees in the face of Winter and
starvation into accepting wages one
third cash and two-thirds scrip; that he
made an untrue statement and had
altered the stenographers' notes, and
lastly, that the scrip had been hacked
about the streets of Johnstown and had
been bought In at a discount by a
relative OF Mr.. Johnson before 1t was
redeemed at par
