peCted two young men he had seen IN
the company OF his SoE William
The detective last night recovered all

arrest Robert Benter and julius Goiding.
the young men Mr.. Driver had spoken OF,
and they are now locked up at the First
precinct station charged With receiving
stolen goods.
The real thief has not as vet been ap-
pretended and the detectives inves-
tigation OF the case has brOu ght To light
some interesting features
Detective BOardman found three OF the.
rings inthiscity AMI the fourthin Baltimore.
He discovered that Que ring had bcen sold
TO man named Williams who is employed
as Waterman at HaFyeys- Two cheaper
rings had been disposed OF To q pawn

the detective found the fourth ring an
expensive diamond. IJ had been pawned
by Mr.. Julius GOldng, one OF the yOURg Z
men under arrest.
Benter had disposed of the two rings TO
the man on E street, and Watchman VII
iiams told the officers that GClding was
present aud vouCEed for the man from
whom he had purchased the other diamond.
The young man who was GOiding's
companion was Willie Driver Ii is said

that he was innocent of any wrong and
had pawned the rings thinking that they
belonged to young Driver.

! young fellows and tell their story in q
manner that is convincing.

Lucas Stokes is very tough young col
ored man, who attempted to commit
murder last night.
Just why he did not accomplish tie
first part Of the program is hard to say,
but the police got him before he could
complete it.
Last night when Mr.. John Hartcett re-
tired to his room he found Stokes con-
cealed behind tie door. The negro sprang
at him i'll the darkness and struck twice at
his head with hatchet.

room. After disrob:n ng he tur ned out the gas
and prepared to get into bed. As he turned
his back toward the door he heard move
ment in that part OF the rooin and started
forward to investigate. Without a word
OF warning the negro sprang upon him.
In one hand he had a hatchet and in the
other revolver. He swung twice with the
former and Mr.. Hartnett owes his life to
the fact that the room was in darkness.
The first blow struck him on the right
temple and half turned him away from his
assailant. Again the negro raised his
arm and brought the hatchet do wn and the
keen blade sunk deep into the back of the
mans head
CALLED FOR HELP.
Mr.. Harnett shouted murder and the
people i'll the rooms below heard the scuffle

he ran TO the rear door and threw back the
fastenings Revolver In hand he sprang out
into the alley and rushed for the street
The occupants of the house shouted to

verse Testimony of the CUachman.
Cincinnati, Ohio, May 5.-Severaiwitnesse sses
were examined in the Jackson trial this
morning. With the exception of Watchman
Brink man, of the Newport bridge the testi-
mony adduced was unimportant
Brinkman's story was contradiction Of
that told by George jackson, the ooiored
coachman, whe he was on the witneSsstand
From 8 O'Clock 10 4 O'Clock Saturday morn
ing Srinkman said he and the collector
werein the south ticket office of the bridge
From to o'c'ock three men were present
Upon cross-eNamination the witness ad-
mitted the fact that passengers have
crossed the bridge at night without pay
ing fares. as Coachman Jackson says he did.
Col. era wford stated that he had but
one more witness to introduce to complete
the defense, and asked the court to ad-
journ until p. m. to enable him to pro-
duce the witness. The prosecution stated
that it wanted Miss McNevin questioned
again.
THIS afternoon the defense closed It's
case with the deposition of E. f. Hackel-
man. n fellow student of Jackson and
Walling.
In rehuttal the prosecution introduced
L. Mccarthy of Kingsviile, KY, who tes-
titled that TruSte, sr., and Detective

tective Seward has made n full confession
of his connection with the case to Prose
| cutting Attorney L"ckhart: Col Neiso n
and Mr.. Hayes, and has placed himself at
the mercy of the court. Seward has ac-
knowledged tuthese attorneys thathebribe0

the House District Committee Yesterday
afternoon gave hearing on the bill to
provide for the adjudication of claims
arising from the destruction of North Lib
erty Market in S72.
EX-Representative Hemphill appeared for
those interested and made an argument in
favor of referring the whole matter to the
auditor OF the District supreme court who
shall within two years examine and in
qure into all claims presented and make
a full report thereon to the District Com
misSioners. These claims, he said. have
never been brought before any tribunal
for determination and settlement.
Nj. Hemphill revi:w the history Of the
removal ut night of the market buildings. as
heretofore printed in The Times, and said
the amount involved in the bill under dis.
cussion would not exceed few thousand
dollars.
mfr. Curtis OF Iowa subsequently, intro
duced in the House bill to provide for
the pa yment OF the North Liberty Market
claims by draw wbaek certificates.
1t provides that the auditor of the Dis
trict supreme court be empowered to ex-
anime and audit for settlement all claims
for property taken, injured or DESTROYED
by reason of the destruction of the Northern
Liberty Market.
Interest must be computed on the amounts
found to be due at the rate of 8 50 per
cent per annum from September +. 1S72

THE PASSING OF THE BOSSES.

To man up a tree it looks at present
as if there could not be any doubt of the
nomination of Mckinley as the candidate
OF the Republican party for President
1t spite Of all the figuring done by Platt.
Manley, and Clarkson. the ohioan is gath
ering in the delegates, and should the
Indiana State convention make any sign
favorable to him, there is reason TO believe
that the other yet remaining States and
dele gates would make haste TO get into
the band wagon, and McKiHlcy's Domination
at st. Louis on the first ballot would be
assured.
The interesting feature Of this whole
performance is to be found in the fact that
this sentiment in favor OF the Ohio Ma
poIeon has been developed and gained
strength not by the aid OF the bosses, but
in spite of them. Nobody believes, OF
course, that Platt is honestly for Morton,
but certainly Mckinley is not his choice
any more than he is Clarkson's and Man.
ley's, but yet he was unable to prevent the
cropping out of the Mckinley sentiment in
the New York State convention, and with
few exceptions this has been the case in
every convention. When there was a IA
yorite son the resolution indorsing him
has always been coupled with another COM
mending Mckinley as the next best man.
No amount of labor and manipulation ON
the part of the bosses has been able To
check the rolling of the ball, which has
almost assumed the proportions of an
avalanche and bids fair to overwhelm
the convention.
There is this much of qualification to be
CLEANED from this condition of affairs that
the people have broken away from the
domination of the bosses and chosen for
themselves. Whether or not Mckinley
is the best man the Republicans could
select as their standard bearer, is not SO
important a question as that the rank and
file of the party should be unhampered in
the expression of their wishes by the
pranks and practices of any boss. And that
this is the case in the present instance
admits of no doubt.

AN UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.

1t is 10 be regretted that the conference
committee which had the Capital Railway
bill in charge so far overstepped the limits
of its authority as to make the with
drawal of its report necessary, and thereby
cause uneasiness in the minds of the people
of Anacostia, who were rejoicing over the
prospect of rapid transit. The recommittal
Of report and bill, however, viii hardly
jeopardize final action at this session.
The changes to be made in order 10 bring
the bill within parliamentary requirements
are not of such magnitude as to delay
the bill unreasonably, and it is to be pre-
sumed that it viii soon find its way back
for final action.
The supposition that this lack Of at
tention, foresight or whatever else it
may have been OF which the committee was
guilty may operate TO defeat the passage
OF the bill at this session is intcIerable
1t would be a gross injustice to the people
OF the entire southeastern section of the

of street railway communication with the
