Captain Marston Testifies.

Captain Marston testified that he saw
defendant mark several ballots while ex-
amining them. His attention was attrac-
ted to the affair by Mr.. Baker. Witness
swore that while he could not tell what
particular name was marked by Thomp-
son, yet he could see that one of two
names, Cosgrove or Manchester was being
marked.
Charles +. Charnley swore that he
occupied the position of supervisor in the
Ninth ward, First district, on the last
election. When Mr.. Baker charged fraud
against Mr.. Thompson, witness examined
the ballots and discovered Al ballots
marked double in the pile handled by
Thompson, about % Of which would have
been straight Republican ballots.
Albert Taylor, another supervisor also
stated that in his opinion there had been
Al ballots double marked. Mr.. Baker,
he thought, made the statement that the
offense was states prison one.
City Clerk Clark swore that he had ev-
cry reason to believe that the ballots were
cast at the laet election.
Mr.. A. G. Stone testified that he was
clerk at the ward room and sat in such
manner that he couldn't see Thompson.
Daniel Thompson then took the stand
and swore that he did not mark any bal
lots. IL was impossible for Mr.. Baker to
see him mark any as he was not guilty of
the offense. Witness detailed the routine
counting the ballots and he found two
defective ballots. Mr. Stone borrowed a
pencil from him and he took one from
booth. He stated that for convenience
in working he formed the tables into an l.
shape, and he and Mr.. Stone sat at one OF
the tables. He re-collccted the fact OF Mr..
Baker and Captain Marston being present
and between 8 and 10 o'clock Mr.. Baker
made his charge. When this charge was
mOhR dafnnhQnt Mr.
Charnley to look over the pile.
In working on the ballots he instead of
calling the list by names simply used the
phase "next man. and il was KS that
aroused Mr.. Bakers suspicious.
Mr.. McCabe, supervisor swore that in
the sorting of the ballots before the count
he noticed several "dou le-headersn or
those marked twice. Witness swore that
when Baker made the charge OF fraud,
Thompson Immediately called for an In
spection OF the ballots.
John A. Crowley, one OF the spectators,
said he was at the ward room on that
night. lie talked with Captain Marston,
who told him that he had seen nothing in
Thompson's actions peculiar. Witness
said he staid in the ward room TO the
close. He stated that he stood beside Mr..
Baker when he was instructing
the Republican supervisors not TO
sign the returns as there was fraud.
Witness had an argument with Mr.. Baker
regarding his charge of fraud and told
him that even he, Mr.. Baker, was not in
fallible.
James McCabe, reporter for local
newspaper swore that he was at the ward
room on that night, bat as lie was in and
cut at all times, he did not see anything
crooked.
Eventually, Judge Cooke, adjudgcd
Thompson probably guilty and bound
him over in $1,000 surety for trial before
the grand jury.

THE railroad men along the :. P
 in Arizona have proved themselves the most reasonable ard law abiding class Of laborers in the west. Their conservative action throughout the troubles Of the past fortnight has won for them the pIaudits Of the public. Not an act Of lawlessness is charged against them. When they saw the strike was failure they no longer refused 10 act, but like men, acknow- ledged their position, and accepted the only alternative. Had the strikes all over the country been as conser- yativa and reasonable in their course, Pullman might have been induced to listen to reason, or the railroads 10 have given up the use oi his cara.

JEWElRY AND SILvERWARE.

TIE return of pendants is conspicu- ous.
 A PRETTY new slide is Tyre set with gems.
 TINY alcohol lamps with ivory handles are seen everywhere.
 A CURIOUS novelty is a street lamp in silver gilt and enamel.
 THERE is a sudden influx of match safes of silver in raised relief
 LONG silver brooches are of blue enamel with broken edges of silver.
 lCE cream sets are oblong salvers with broken edges, and trowel-lilse knives.
 TIE mania abroad for paste in mil linery, brooches and slides is com mented upon on every side.
 ALMOST every woman now wears long slim chain of silver if not of gold. The silver chains punctuated with en- ameled beads are very pretty.

 To the surprise of the engineer, B body of the troops was placed on the engine and when he demanded the reason therefor, was told by CaYtain Thompson that it was done under in -tructions of the war department, and that the placing Of the soldiers on the engine was not optional with him. Crowley declared that he was not a convict and did not require a guard and unless the objection was removed he would go no further. As Capt. Thomson was acting under instructions the orGer could not be changed with out instructions from his superiors. The troops got away last night after the report reached them O! the strike being declared of in Tucson.
