Kate Travis came to her death by her own
hands on the night of November %, at her

verdict of the majority, and the law In
consequences is satisfied.
During yesterdays session there were
nine witnesses examined, and for the time
being several important facts were brought
out; but these during the later stages of

cleared away or explained as the case
may be.
In the first place Mrs. Tessie Handley,
an Intimate friend of the deceased, testified
that about month before her death Mrs.
Travis stated that she had received let
ter from party whom she refused to

former husband, and threatened to kill
her if she ever married again. She also
said that her present husband was too
good for her. The witness was sure that
the deceased had key to the cabinet and
she opened the secret drawer without
trouble.
Jennie WhaleD. a schoolgirl, testified
that she saw Mrs. Travis living on the

The position of the body and Alice Nc
kenZie had explained the workings of the
secret drawer. John Travis, the husband
of the deceased woman, took the stand.
He stated that he had left S. K. Johnson
in charge Of the saloon on the morning of
November 20 and accompanied his wife
downtown. After doing some shopping
ne left her. but did not return home until
almost o'clock the same evening, and his
wife returned about 600, and at 6:45 he
was attracted by groans in the bedroom.
Upon investigating he found Mrs. Travis
lying on the floor in pool OF blood, but
he saw no pistol. He then summoned
help, and she soon afteIward breathed her

forward manner, and the verdict of the
jury showed conclusively that he was be-
lieyed.

AGAINST UNCLE SAM.
Judge Speer's Ruling in the Case
Against the Steamship Northern.

y
Against the Steamship Northern.
The day in the United States court yes
terday was consumed with the trial of
the case of the United States against the
British steamship Northern, charged
with dumping ashes in the New York
harbor.
1he Northern went into York IFF
Sept. 2, 1891. She set sail Sept. u, and
when near Gedney's channel, as the cap
tain of one of the government dredge
boats and the harbOr inspector testify,
dumped about two tons of ashes into the
harbor, within the limits where it is pro
hibited q
The crew, the pilot and all on board the
Northern, when examined, denied that
any ashes had been dumped overheard
This gave the testimony of a greater
number of Witnesses in favor of the
steamship. The Northern returned to
this country in November 1891, two
months later, and was libeled at this
port.
Judge Speer decided, on account of the
conflict of the evidence which left a rea-
sonable doubt in favor of the Northern,
that the steamship should not be held
liable, Mr.. G. n. West and Judge w. ID.
Harden had charge of the case for the de-
