body OF Mrs. Leahy, who ran shrieking
into the yard, still pursued by the shots
from Beams pistol.
After enlptying both rtevolvers, Beam ran
TO where the woman lay on the ground and
the crowd that gathered around were hor'
rified to see him stamping upon her neck
and face, and cursing her with aninal-like
rage.
When he saw the crowd he reloaded his
revolyers and started up the street, saying
that he would kill the first one who
attempted to interfere with him. Ex-
Congressman Meiklejohn was the first to
approach him, and TO him he surrendered.
Beam was committed to jail and his trial
took place before Judge Cole in March last.
A plea of insanity was introduced and a
number OF witnesses were produced to show
that Beam was man OF a very eccentric
disposition.
1t was shown by the government that
the defendant was a man of bad habits
and violent and dangerous temper, and the
jury returned a verdict of guilty OF murder
in the first degree. A motion for a new
trial was overruled, and he was sentenced
to be hanged yesterday.

| Cases of Ex-Policemen Yeatman and
Pierce Before Commissioners.

Cases of Ex-Policemen Yeatman and
Pierce Before Commissioners.
The case of Policemen Yeatman and
Pierce, who were recently dismissed for
conduct unbecoming an officer, are likely
to be reopened. One Of the men was tried,
it is said, upon the charges of colored
woman, who said he cursed her.
There was an arrest to be made in q court
where the residents were chiefly Colored
The policemen, accompanied by the conn
pIaInant, a well-to-do white man, went
into the court and got their men. A large
crowd gathered TO see what was going on,
and the policemen ordered them to djSperse.
The woman W ho made the charge ofbad con-
duct refused TO go into her house, saying
she had as much right on the street as the
policemen themselves. 1t was with con-
siderable difficulty that she was finally
inducedto withdraw ,andorder was restored.
When the case came before the trial board
the woman and a number of her friends
swore one way in regard to the treat
ment she received, ana the policemen ana
several others another way.
The trial board recommended q light fine
or some other mild punishment but when
the Commissioners read the testimony they
found the offense to be graver on the face
of the papers than in the hearing It had ap
peared to the board to be. They ordered
the dismissal of both the men, one OF
whom, it is asserted, had never been on
trial at all.
Yesterday q letter was received from the
man for whom the policemen were making
the arrest when the altrcatlon with the
coIored woman took place. He says that
he should have been principal witness
in the case but was absent from the city
when it came up and has not been heard
He asks that the matter may be reopened
that his testimony may be taken.

TRIED TO THREAD NEEDLES
Wimodaughsis Was Highly Amused
by Nine Gentlemen Friends.
Mr.. j. De Silva Poked the Thread
and Won the Trilby Apron.

If it takes one grown man one minute to
thread the needle how long VIII it take
niue gro wn men to Sc " button on an over
coat?
This was the problem in several unknown
quantities partially solved last night at
the parlors Of Wimodaughsis There was
a very large company present during the
investigation Of this question.
The gentlemen who Were put up TO prove
the case were: Messrs Thad Libbey, NJ.
Mott, George II. Macdonald, G.. Wonfer,
George c. Gwynne, NJ. Agnew, ]. De Silva,
F. II. Gibson, aud S. l. Bradley.
The referee was Mrs Locklaud. aud the
time keeper, Miss Edith Phelps. The prize
was Trilby apron with right hand pocket
to hold the needles aud cotton.
The gentlemen were seated around
table on which was cushion stuck full Of
needles, some of thgm upside down. Each
gentleman was supplied with thread,
and when time was called there was a
dash for the needles. Nj. Libbey poked the
right end OF the thread forty-siX times at
the wrong end Of the needle, aud seventeen
times at the right end the thread going
through on the sixty-third trial, that is
he pushed at ii at the rate of more than
sixty to the minute.
a similar feat was performed by Mr..
Agnew. Mr.. Wanfer managed to stop
two holes in one minute, Mr.. Gwyune three,
MI Gibson three, Mr. Mott 4, and Mes-fs.
Macdonald, De Silva and Brady five in
one minute.
In the second round 10 settle the owner
ship of the apron Mr.. Mcdonald dropped
TO four needles and Mr.. De Silva went up
one, threading six, IN minute. He was
declared the winner and donned the apron.
1t is plain from the record that a woman
can drive nail iii board better than
man can find the open ehd OF needle.
The rest or the evening was agreeably
spent ii guessing beans in bottle, pick
ing up oranges with a teaspoon, in which
latter contest Miss H. Keables won the
first prize, an antique jug OF imported
perfumery. Misses Clara and Violet Fas-
sett sang several duets in charming style.

ized early yesterday morning, but the
amount or value of what was carried OF
by the thief or thieves Is not known, as the
ladies are now in Rhode Island, their for

About O'Clock a M Policeman Du-
vail, while patrolling his beat on Fifteenth
street, passed the house and walked up
the little alley which runs into tue block,
the entrance being next to the Rathbun
re sid ence.
The officer saw that the little side base
ment window of the house was open, and
knowing that the inmates are absent on
a visit TO their Northern home, concluded
that burglars were about.
Tiptoeing TO the rear door, be tried it
and found it unfastened nd the lock
broken. He Investigated far enough to
learn that the house-breakers were not
within, and communicated with No. 2 sta
ton for instructions.
Later patrol wagon was dispatched
to the scene with police sergeant and a
thorough search made. The furniture and
bric-a-brac in the parlor and other rooms
were found upset and dIsarranged, and
the interior of the house had the appear
ance CT having been thoroughly ransacked.
The police could not state last night posi-
lively that anything was stolen, but from
appearances the thieves did not leave emp
Miss Emily Rathbun, who is Il teacher IL
the Ellis Seminary, on Seventeenth street
and Miss Mary Rathbun, a clerk in the
National Museum, are the tenants, and
when they left for New England four days
ago, they thought they had securely fas-
tened every door and window of the house.
Entrance was apparently made by the
burglars through the side lower window
and the booty taken through the back door.
No clue had been found by the police up
to a late hour last night The lady
tenants have been teleg Faph1l for, and

Remarkabl Illness of Policeman
Owen Cooney, Who May Not Live.
A singular case talked about good
deal in police circles is that of Owen
Cooney, in the third precinct, who is under
the care of DR.. Mayfield. He was taken
sick several days ago with what was
supposed to be hemorrhage of the lungs.
1t was found, however, that the blood
came from the roof of his mouth
After som treatment the discharge
from the mouth ceased and blood began to
oOze from the pores Of the patient s
face. Later an eruption appeared on the
face and chest.
This succumbed to treatment only to give
place to an eruption on the legs and return
of the trickling of blood from the
pores of the skin in several parts of the
body. There are grave fears that Mr..
CooneY NAV not live.
