HIS HAPPY ROMANCE.
For Seventeen Years Job Toiled for the
Girl He Had Left Behind Him.

New York Herald.
William Job, of Helena, Mont, and Miss
Sarah Ann Ennis, of the county of Corn
wall England, were marricl in this city
on December 4, and the union has un-
folded a tale of love, courtship and mar
riage that is quite romantic.
Job and the woman he has now made
his bride were brought up in the same
town in Cornwall. AS schoolmates they
became greatly attached to each other,
and as they grew older friendship gradu-
ally developed into love, Finally, Job,
when nineteen years old asked the girl
to become his wife, but as Job was only
a poor lad she refused, on the ground
that he was unable to support wife.
He determined to overcome that OBJ
stacle, and Immediately set sail for Amer
lea to seek his fortune. That was seven
teen years ago. After reaching America
he drifted toward the West, securing em-
ployment in the copper mines in Michi-

THE NAVAL ACADEMY
Its Buildings Are a Disgrace
to the Navy.

Rivers-SOme Will Have Their
Bottoms Overhauled.

A special from Washington to the New
York World says: Commodore u. o..
Matthews report to the secretary of the
navy, upon his recent investigation of the
naval academy, says that the academy
buildings are q shame to the nation and
disgrace to the navy. The educational
departments arc all right, but the ac-
commodations are miserable. 1t is recon-
mended that every building now used by
the cadets be razed TO the ground. Sew
eral of the structures have been con-
demned as unsafe, unhealthy and ILL.,
adapted for thenr purposes.
/. The plan proposed for improvements
contemplates the expenditure of about
Sc, 100000, but only comparatively snail
amounts would be required FOR each year.
Commodore Matthews will urge that the
general plan Of reconstruction and re-
habilitation be approved and that 100000
be provided at this session of congress to
begin the work Secretary Herbert is
now considering the report
BREECH PLUGS NOT STRONG.
Experiments made at the Indian Head
proving grounds have demonstrated that
the recent accident to the S-inch gun on
board the Columbia was due to the weak
ness of the breech plug. The expert
ments showed conclusively that the pres
ent style of breech plug was defective.
Heavy powder charges We're fired in an
S-inch gun with increasing pressures.

was fired which gave a pressure of q

plug was examined after the barge had
been fired a fine hair crack was discov-
cred In exactly the same position as the

TWO MEN-OF-WAR TOUCH BOTTOM
Two United States men-of-war attached
to the Asiatic station recently went
aground in the East, but neither suffered
any damage. The Machias, on October
1, while in theYangtse-Kian river, near
Hankow, went aground on sand bar
and the Concord went aground in the
mud in the Woosung river, near Shang-
hal, and lay there for a couple of tides
The Concord and the Machias will be
docked as soon as practicable SO that
their outer skins may be examined-prob-
ably at Nagasaki.
The navy department his issued an Or
der that all United States men1of-war
entering Newport harbor will be attacked
by the torpedo boat Cushing, should that
vessel be at Newport at the time.
1t is understood that upon the return
of the Dolphin from her survey work on
the Guatemalan coast Commander w. Il.
Burwell will be relieved from her COM
mand. His orders assigned him only
temporarily to this billet and there is
good reason to believe that the Dolphin
will be used as a dispatch boat, as she
has been in the past

NINTH DAY OF THE TRIAL.
Two Witnesses Who Saw Durrant
and the Victim Near the En-
manuel Church.

Two more links were forged yesterday.
They are good links apparently and Mr..
Barnes and his associates expressed their
satisfaction of the manner in which these
links were welded.
When court adjourned last evening
Theodore Durrant and the schoolgirl
whose body was found in the belfry of
Emmanuel Church had been traced to the
very door of the sanctuary almost to the
actual scene of the crime.
1t was the ninth day of the hearing Of
evidence in the case and the days chapter
closed at a most exciting point-where the
suspected villain and his victim pass be-
yond human sight and are alone together
within the walls stained by the blood of
the innocent girl. All this of course is
that version of the black and awful tale
seen through the eyes of witnesses whose
testimony has been given on behalf of the
people of the State of California. What
the prisoner may say for himself, or
witnesses may say for him, cannot even be
guessed at this time. But the secret must
soon be out. Already the end of the
States case is in sight
To-day George King will take the stand
and tell how he saw Durrant in the church
on that afternoon of April 3. And with
his testimony the chain of circumstances
will be complete. What other evidence is
adduced against the prisoner will be
merely to weld the links little tighter,

4 O'Clock that afternoon and QuinIan came
along about fifteen minutes past that hour.
They had drink and then started for the
hospital. There the prosecution finished.
Under Dickinsons cross examination
Clarke said he had gone to the old City
Hall Immediately after coming to the City
on April 2. He met Mr.. Quinlan there
about II o'clock in saloon near by, and
had some doings with him. Then he went
out to st. Luke's hospital. He came back
to Quinlan's house, on Twenty second and
Mission streets, and stayed all night. He
saw Quinlan that morning-it was the
morning of April Sand he next saw him
at quarter past 4. There was great deal
of testimony drawn from the witness as to
the saloons on Twenty-second and Mis-
sion and on Twenty-third and Mission
streets. He had visited both of them, and
Mr.. Dickinson insisted on knowing Just
how many drinks he took
Speaking of the time he met Quinlan at
the saloon at Twenty second and Mission
he said they took drink there. The wit
ness had looked at the clock at $3.50 and
once more at 4:10. When they left the
saloon they went up to Twenty third and
Mission and dropped into another saloon,
and then continued on, stopping, however,
| at more corner groceries as they pro-

MRS, LEAK SAW THEM ENTER THE SIDE GATE

to fasten them more securely against the
attacks of Attorneys Dickinson and Deu-
prey.
Martin Quinlan's testimony made the
first link that was forged yesterday. On
the previous day Mrs. Crosett told of see
ing Blanche and Durrant on Valencia
street car riding toward the place of death.
Quinlan's testimony came next in chrome
logical order.
He saw the couple on Bartlett street.
He saw them cross Twenty-second street
and walk down toward the church. This
was a few minutes past 4 o'clock. The
man was on the inside, toward the houses,
while the girl walked at his right. He was
going down Twenty-second street. He
walked on and saw no more of them.
There the testimony ended at the pre-
liminary trial in the Police Court. But
there comes now another witness, who sup
plies what was heretofore gap in the
chain. Mrs. Leak comes to the stand and
tells of seeing Theodore Durrant-she had
known him for two years-go into the side
gate of the churchyard, the entrance to
the pastors study.
Mrs. Leak was at her window nearly OPP
posite the church. She saw young lady
walking with him. The lady was on the
outside of the pavement and Durrant on
the inside. AT the time she thought the
lady with Durrant was Blanche Lamont
or Miss Turner. She was not sure which,
for she did not see the girls face They
walked past the church door to the side
gate. Then the gate opened. The girl went
in. Durrant followed. The gate closed.
And so the twelve good men and true
must guess the rest, and upon their guess
rests the fate of Theodore Durrant.
His attorneys are struggling hard to
make that guess favorable to the inno-
cence of their client. They cross-examine
each witness most carefully, most search
ingly, most exhaustiveiy, most mex
plicably long it seems to those who know
not their secrets.
1t was so with all the witnesses yester-
day. Maud Lamont was the first of them.
She was recalled to identify photograph
of her sister. And when she had done this
Mr.. Dickinson asked her if Blanche had
not attended seminary at Rockford, Ill.
She had the witness said. And then, if
Blanche had not recently received letters
from there. She had not, the witness
thought.
Martin Quinlan was the second witness.
He was followed by David Clarke, who
came to help fix the date upon which
Quinlan says he saw the prisoner.
In the afternoon came Mrs. Leak, an
elderly lady, but very bright. She denied
emphatically that her eyesight was failing,
and, as if to prove her assertion, in the
dim light Of the courtroom she pointed out
Durrant, "the man with rose in his coat"
if she could see him in the darkened
courtroom, in the midst of a crowd of
men, she could have recognized him in the
strong light of the afternoon. Mr.. Barnes
will so argue, at any rate, and it would
seem to be good argument.
When her cross-examination was closed
court adjourned till this morning.

ceeded. In all of these hats Dickinson
showed the liveliest interest.
Mr.. Clarke when he came upon the stand
was clean shaven. This fact seemed to
give Mr.. Dickinson much concern. When
he had finished inquiring about the
amount of liquid refreshment the witness
had been in the habit of imbibing he turned
his attention to the whereabouts of the
beautiful long mustache which under
cross-examination witness admitted he had
worn. He admitted further that he had
worn the mustache from last Februar- I'M
til five weeks ago, when he went to Il bar.
Der and had every vestige of it removed.
Where was that barber-shop?" Dickinson
demanded vindictively. as if he was deter
mined to ask for search warrant and
have the missing hirsute appendage recov-
cred. The witness could not remember
what barber had applied his matchless
razor, and so Dickinson came back to the
thread of the evidence.
The witness was then asked if, in the
twelve days following April 3, Quinlan had
mentioned to him that he had seen gen.
tleman and lady on Bartlett street. Clarke
said Quinlan had not. ibid he ever men
ton it?'' asked Dickinson. Then he added
more to his question until the witness adj
mitted that he did not understand the
query. 1t was thinned out a little, and
Clarke said be and Quinlan might have
spoken of the matter somewhere about

April 20. Quinlan had then mentioned
the fact that he had seen lady and gen.
tleman on Bartlett street on the afternoon
of April 8.
Mrs. Caroline s. Leak was the next wit
ness, and the important witness of the
day. She is quite an elderly lady, but very
intelligent and seemingly in possession of
all her faculties. She was very closely ex-
amined and cross-examined, but she stood
it all very we'll and answered the questions
clearly and without hesitation.
