and up to a late hour tonight. the
scores Of women who want to secure
the honors were buttonholing their
friends and seeking strangers. The
hotel Hobbies were scenes of consider

routine work, was consumed in the dis

in DEFENSE OF DURANT.
IIcrculcan Efforts Are Bring Made TO puz.
zIc the Jury Judge. Murphy's Caution in
Giving ODiuiOns.

San Francisco, Oct. S.-The defense in
the Durant trial Is nearing the close of
it's case. 1t will probably reach 1t this
week. To-day it mace one of its
strongest points in the introduction as
a witness of c. T. Lenahan. the young
man who says he visited Oppenheim's
pawnshop. and who, it is claimed by the
defense, was mistaken for Durant by
the pawrbroker Lenahan testified
today that he had gone to the pawn
shop and offered band ring with a
chip diamond similar to that worn by
Blanche Lamont. He had a brief con-
versation with the pawnbroker similar
to that said to have been had by Dur
ant. His ring was not accepted, and me
left the store, going in the same direc-
tion as that said to have been taken by
Durant. Lenahan testified that his
visit was on the afternoon of April 10
instead of on a morning between the
4th and 10th as testified to by Open
helm. and he met the pawnbroker at
the door. whereas in the other case OPP
penheim was seated inside the store
reading when the customer entered.
Lenahan was dressed as Durant was
said to have been when he visited the
store.
Another point for the defense was
made by Fl. N. Marshall. reporter,
who testified that on the day of the
discovery of Miss Lamonts body, De-
tective Gibson. who found it, told him
that there were footprints of a No. Q
shoe on the top platform of the church
tower. This Gibson has already de-
MED on the stand.
Judge Murphy, who presides, is very
cautious in making no ruling to
jeopardize the case should 1t go to ap-
peal and he today reversed himself on
the question of permitting DR.. Cheney,
whose lecture Durant is alleged to have
attended on the afternoon of the mur-
der, to express an opinion as to whether
Durant was at the lecture or not. Dur
ants counsel asked this question eari-
er In the case, but an objection to 1t
was sustained. When the lecturer was
on the stand today the court made his
offer to permit him to give him opin-
ion, but the defence refused to avail
itself of the opportunity on the ground
that DR.. Cheney had practically testi-
fed that he believed Durant to have
been present at the lecture when he
said he thought roll call was correct.
Leonard Everett testified as to the
time consumed in going over the route
traversed by Mrs. Crosett on the after
noon of April 3. when she said she saw
Durant riding on car toward the
Emmanuel church a short time before
the murder in company with a young
lady. His estimate of the time differed
from that of Mrs. Crosett by about six
minutes.

GENERAL MALONE DEAD.
Ex-senator from virginia His Unique
Political Carccr-At One Time One Of
the Most Picturesque OF Public Men.

Washington. oct S.--General Malone
died at o'clock. The general was
weaker this morning than at any time
since he was stricken with paralysis,
and it was thought That he could not
live through the day.
The country will long remember General
William Malone as one of the most pictn-
esQue figures and characters in pubic NE
during the last thirty years. Exceptional
ly slight stature and frame, he has been
a marked man In great assemblages Ills
peculiar style of dress. and especially his
hat, attracted attention to him. This
seemed out of proportion to the tiny form
beneath It, But beneath its shade
sparkled a pair of the keenest eyes ever
possessed by rnan. He was in his sixty.
ninth year.
His favorilr sobriquet was Hero of the
Crater" won by his wonderful courage In
the attack on Petersburg when the fed
eral forces sprung a mine beneath the con-
federate defense. He fought like tiger,
and later historians gave to him almost
alone the credit of keeping Petersburg
from the Union hands by repairing before
sunset the shattered confederate lines.
He was commissioned brigadier general
in March, 1864, and six months later be-
came major general.
At the close of the war he returned to
his original work of engineering and be-
came president of the Norfolk and Ten
nessee railroad. A spirit of leadership led
him into the political arena, and he at
once assumed IA foremost position in the
internal affairs of Virginia. which was at
that time laden with an enormous debt
that soon became an issue of vital impor-
tance between the political parties. He
was elected to the United States senate in
1879. He was like firebrand cast into a
mass of dry finder. and from the peculiar
attitude that he at once assumed he
caused one of the most bitter contrOver-
sizes and stubborn deadlocks ever known
in the history of that body.
Mahone at last acted with the Repub-
licans and gave them the organization of
the senate. His course brought down
upon his head the wrath of the Demo-
Gratis. but the Republicans received him
with open arms and the federal patronage
in Virginia was turned over to him. Since
that time he has been par excellence the
Republican leader In Virginia. He served
in the senafc until 1857. when he was de-
feated. Although he has since resided al
most constantly in Washington ne re-
tanned the Republican leadership In Vir-
ginia and In 1870 was a candidate for gov
ernOr.

ESCAPE OF SEAMEN.
Pour Oil on Troubled Waters and Smooth
Path TO Safety

cleveland, Oct. S.--1The crew of the r.
R. Williams. foundered at Green Bay
during the great storm. owe their lives
to the resourcefulness of Captain Hun
tcon, who smocthe'd a path for the life
boat through the mighty waves by the
liberal use of oil. The men had given
up hope. but the captain ordered them
into the boat, and then took on big
tank Of oil.
BY dripping this on the windward side
the surface of the water was smoothed.
and while the waves tossed the lifeboat
about as a cork the sea, did not break,
and to this the men attribute their es-
cape from what must otherwise have
been certain and speedy death.

THE SHRINE AT DALTON.

Dalton. Ca. Oct. S.-The welcome ex-
tended to the liberty bell on its en-

the crowd applauded wildly.
Then Mayor s. p. Maddox, of Dalton,

welcome made a deep impression on

REPUBLICANS DEFEATED.
Rigid enforcement of the Liquor Laws
and Unpopularity Of Candidates the

SuuSc.
Indianapolis. Ind, Oct. S.-The Re-
publicans of Indianapolis suffered the
heaviest defeat in the history of the
city, in the municipal election today.
Fairly complete returns at 10 o'clock
show that Thomas Taggart DemD is
elected mayor by about 1000 plurality.
and the rest Of the Democratic ticket by
about 5000.
Two years ago the Republicans car
ried the city by 3,100. and last year the
city went Republican by 2.479 on the
state ticket
The main causes attributed by the
Republicans are that the present ad-
ministration has aroused enmity by it's
rigid enforcement of the liquor laws,
assisted by the vigorous Nicholson
temperance law passed at the last leg
islature: dissatisfaction with the street
Improvement policy: the personal un-
popularity of the candidate, and the
fact that he did not vote for Harrison
in 1892. His loss from this last cause Is
measured by the thousand votes he ran
behind the ticket.
