Church Murders.
SAN Francisco, April 26.-Rev. John
George Gibson, pastor of the Emanuel
church. was again on the witness stand
yesterday in the preliminary examination
of Theodore Durnnt, charged with the
murder of Minnie Williams The defense
Believes 1t has a case against tho clergy
man, and will try to show that he and not
Durant killed both Miss Williams and
Miss Lamont
On the day preceding the finding of
Blanche Lamont's body, her aunt Mrs.
Noble, received paper containing tho
rings worn by the missing girl. On the
paper was written the names of George r..
King and Professor Schernstein, the ap-
parent object being to connect these men
with the girls disappearance. Experts de-
clare the writing to be the disguised hand
of Durant. In court yesterday counsel for
the defense requested Rev. DIR. Gibson to
write the names of King and Schernstein.
The minister did so, but asked twice how
to spell Schernstein's name. Nothing
tangible against him was brought out by
cross examination and his testimony was
concluded.
Alfred o. McElroy, aged 49, testified
that on Saturday evening, the 12th, he OBJ
served man resembling Durant waiting
on the corner near the church. Soon a
young woman came along. The man ap-
preached her and shielded her with his
shoulder from witness observation. Soon
afterwards witness, who had passed on,
noticed light moving in the church. This
testimony was corroborated by Bert
Miner McElroy's companion. Tho other
evidence adduced was the same as that
given at the inquest.
Durant has secured desk and an easy
chair in his cell, and spends his time in
studying his notes for his medical exam

The Second Reading Calendar Almost
Cleared OF Bills.

Cleared OF Bills.
HARRISBURG April 2e-The house was
In a working mood yesterday. The order
was bills on second reading The mem
bers for once considered the bills on their
merits and did not frltter away the time
in useless debate The result Is that the
second reading calendar Is almost clear
for tho first time this session. Lobbyists
are beginning to throng tho chamber and
Interfere with the proceedings. The speaker
is determined to stop this, and unless these
persons regard the rules they will not be
accorded the privileges OF the house.
The bill ceding jurisdiction over the real
estate of the Monongahela Navigation
company to be acquired by the United
States went through finally on a special
order. Bills granting to water power com
panies the authority conferred on electric
light companies and providing that one
burial permit be sufficient authority for
the interment in II cemetery partly within
the limits Of two or more municipalities,
also passed this stage on special orders.
The Brown road bill was substituted for
the Smiley bill, and then killed after it
had been jumped upon by the rural mem
bers.
Among the bills which passed second
reading were these: requiring county
commissioners to locate county boundary
line monuments; regulating the manner
of changing county seats; providing for
tho appointment Of measurers Of building
material and the adjustment Of disputes
arising from the erection Of buildings;
giving preference Of appointment or en-
ployment to honorably discharged soldiers,
sailors and marines; changing the method
of incorporation Of boroughs by abolishing
the method of proceeding by laying the
application before the grand jury; author
izing boards Of health in cities Of the third
class to regulate house drainage, the reg
istration of master plumbers and the con
struction of cesspools; enabling county
commissioners to carry out the provisions
of the election law Of 1902, to provide suit,
able places for holding elections.
Tho Seanor act to prevent the adultera-
ton of food, under heavy penalty, was
killed, and the act providing for the EN-
ployInent Of none but American citizens
on public work was dropped FROM the cal
endar. A similar measure has already
passed the house.
