CALLED rs A. WITNESS:

At the Conclusion of His Cross Examina-
ton of the Child Mr.. Brooke Moved That
the Testimony be Stricken Out, but the
Motion Was Denied-Testimony of Other
Witnesses in the Famous Case.
New York, June S-The trial of Mrs.
Fleming for poisoning her mother was
resumed to-day, DR.. Scheele resuming
his place on the stand and was cross
examined by Mr.. Brooke. Manager An
derson Of the Colonial hotel was recall
ed and questioned about the bill Of fare
on August 30 1895. Gustave Eckert, q
waiter at the hotel, identified restau-
rant check as one he made out on Au-
gust 80, 1895, in consequence of an or
der he received. The check was for
clam choWder and piece of pie The
witness said that Redmond, the omni-
bus boy, carried the tray containing
the chowder and pie away.
James Redmond, the omnibus boy Of
the hotel, testified that he took an or
Ma
for bowl of clam chowder and a piece
of lemon pie. He took the chowder to
Mrs. Fleming's room and she signed for
it.
Mr.. Brooke cross-examined the witt
ness, who said he had delivered one
portion of clam chowder to Mrs. F'lem-
ing on August 80 with the pie. Grace
Fleming and Florence King We're pres
ent at the time. The chowder was TAX
en- to Mrs. Fleming's rooms in a small
silver tureen with a spoon and bread
and butter.
Miss Julia Keating, cashier Of the

received on August 30, 1895, and filed
away in the usual manner
Florence King, aged eleven, who was
a playmate of Oracle Fleming,a a daugh-
ter of the accused, took the stand. She
said that when Oracle took the chow
der and pie to Mrs. Bliss apartments
she accompanied her. She testified that
the clam chowder was in a tin pail and
that Mrs. Bliss poured it into a pitcher.
The examination then proceeded as fol-
lows:
What did Oracle say to Mrs. Flem-
ing?"
'She said that her grandmother said
the chowder was very NICE"
What did Mrs. Fleming say to
Gracie?"
She said: I hope you have not
eaten any of it,
What did Oracle say?''
'She said: NO, mamma .
How did you know it was clam
| chowder?"
"Oh, Oracle spilled a little Of 1t and
said that it was chowder'
Mr.. Brooke at the conclusion Of his
extended cross-examination of the girl
moved to have her testimony stricken
from the record. The motion was de-
MED.
Detective Sawyer was then called to
identify a bundle of restaurant checks
he got from Manager Anderson dated

WAS Il MEAN TRICK.
Columbia Men Watched Pennsylvania on
Their Practice Spin.

Their Practice Spin.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June S.-To-
days chapter Of the training of the
college crews was characterized by
Coach Ellis Wards indignation and the
disappointment of a crowd of Harvard
''rooters" who were at the steamboat
tion. Wards indignation was caused by
the peculiar actions of a number Of
Columbia's men during the training
hours
AS usual the Quakers went up the
river and when abreast of the blue and
white crews quarters the latters
launch loaded with Columbia men, shot
out of the culvert, came directly across
the river and followed Pennsylvania s
crew in order to watch their movements
and listen to Mr.. Wards coaching. In
speaking of the occurrence Mr.. Ward
said:
Il think it was a very mean trick
and showed conduct unbecoming gem
tlemen. l do not scour around on my
launch. The next time it happens some
one will have swim without warn
ing"
When the crew left their float
Ward gave them instructions to row
down the river, which they did. This
was done in order to avoid rowing past
Columbia's quarters. Columbia's two
crews We're out for the first time this
morning. All of the old men are here
with the exception of young Ham"
Fish. Before the crews left their floats
Coach Putnam talked to them some
time. The varsity crew then rowed up
the river, while the juniors went down
stream.
A large crowd of Harvard heelers
gathered at the steamboat landing at
noon to welcome the crimson crews,
but the latter were not aboard the boat.
Owing to a dense fog their steamer
arrived late and the crews missed the
boat for this city. They arrived, how
ever, about 1:30 this afternoon on the
Hudson River road. They were met at
the station by Chairman Booth of the
local committee and escorted to the
river, where they boarded the tug Susie
and were taken to their quarters at
Krom Elbow. They were on the water
for a short time after dinner and but
little training was done.
CornelTs crews will arrive June is.

THREE MEMBERS ON HAND
TO TELL ATTITUDE OF
COMMITTEE TOWARD M'RfNLEY.

Sergeant-at-Arms Swords Says That it is a
Matter of No Great Importance-He Says
That the Contests Are Settled-The Color
Line is Sharply Drawn and the Negro
Delegates VIII Not be Housed in Stable
Like Places, Neither Shall They Go
Hungry.
st. Louis, June S.-Only three mem
bers of the national committee have so
tar arrived in St. Louis. They are:
George w. Hill, Tennessee; James Hill,
Mississippi, and John G. Long, Florida.
All the members of the committee will
be in the city by Tuesday night as the
committee meets Wednesday, Colonel
Swords, sergeant at arms of the ma
tional committee, in discussing the
probable action of the committee in the
matter of contests, said:
1T is impossible for any man to tell
the exact attitude of the committee to-
ward Mckinley. In fact, it is matter
of no great Importance, although it is
generally supposed to be. I am familiar
with the work of the national commit
tee for the past sixteen years, and 1
defy anyone to cite an instance in which
prejudice entered into the adjustment
of a contest The contests are settled,
so far as the committee is concerned,
absolutely on the merits of the case.
The only consideration is the regularity
or irregularity of the proceedings which
named the delegation. This, however,
does not hold good in the committee on
credentials of the convention. Here
personal preferences enter largely into
the proceedings of the body"
There appears to be considerable diff
Guilty in securing quarters for the col
ored delegates to the convention. Mr..
G. A. Hill, national committeeman from
Tennessee, is quoted in an afternoon
paper as saying:
"Unless quarters are provided lmme-
diately l shall telegraph the colored
members Of the Tennessee delegation to
stay at home. / do not intend that
they shall come to st. Louis and either
go hungry or eat in place in which
they would not stable horse at home"
Judge Long, national committeeman
from Florida, is also in an indignant
frame of mind over the alleged neglect
of the committee for the colored dele
gates.

London, June SIN the house of COM
mons to-day Right Hon Hon. George
N. Curzon, parliamentary secretary to
the foreign office, stated that the Brit
ish consul in the island of Crete had
been directed by the government to act
conformity with the other foreign rep
resentatives in negotiations with the
Turkish authorities toward the conclu-
sion of peaceful settlement of the diff
ferences between the Cretan rebels and
the Turks. Mr.. Curzon added that re-
peated representations had been made
to the porte impressing upon the Tur-
kish government sense of the danger
of serious trouble in Crete unless eff
fective measures to pacify the Cretans
should be Immediately adopted.
Right Hon. Gerald Balfour chief sec
retary for Ireland. moved the second
reading of the Irish land bill
Timothy NJ. Healey, in the course of
the debate on the Irish land bill, ap
proved part of the measure, which, he
said ought to be referred to a grand
committee. 1t might, he said be made
beneficial, but it did not bear the stamp
of finality. If this was intended to get
rid of the land question in the future
the government was greatly mistaken.
John Morley said that there was not the
slightest chance that the bill would pass
this session, unless it was sent to a
grand committee to be amended.
John Redmond demanded that the
government declare whether they in
tended to pass the measure. The min
istry, he said, admitted the Importance
of the bill and promised to carry it
through speedily, yet they had placed
trivial measures in front of it to OBJ
struct it's passage. The bill then pass
ed its second reading.

Duy of Funerals.

Ten victims of the Berwind- White
shaft disaster were buried last Thurs
day. 1t was day OF funerals in Dubois.
Never in the history of that town has
there been such sight as was witness
ed on the day mentioned. In one
funeral procession there were four
hearses, four carriages filed with pail
bearers, four widows following the
remains of their husbands, and four sets
of sorrowing relatives. John NJ. Hays,
undertaken, took his hearse to Dubois
to assist In burying the dead, and f. c..
Burns and Thos. Taper, llverymen,
each sent five rigs TO Dubois for the
occasion, the liverymen of that town
not being able to furnish rigs to accom-
modate all the mourners and friends.

We suggested last week that Reyn-
oldsville streets be better Illuminated
at night, and also stated that the new
Welsbach street lights could be kept up
at small expense. Since our last issue
we have talked to l.. M. Simmons,
superintendent of the Oil City Fuel
Supply Co. at this place, concerning the
Welsbach street light and learn from
him that the lights will only cost %
cents month. The lamp complete,
ready to put up, not including pole, will
be furnished by the gas company at
$500. II will cost something to buy
the lamps and have them put up, but
the expense afterwards will only be 25
cents a month, or $500 a year. There
Is no need of Reynoldsville people re-
naming in darkness any longer when
they can get street lights so cheap. II
the council would have number OF
these lights put up on street corners
and a number OF our citizens would have
the lights put up in front Of their resi-
dences IL would make vast improve
ment on the appearance of our town
after the sombre shadows of evening
had swooped down upon the town.
Bear in mind that Reynoldsville is a
good town, n nice place to live in and is
worthy OF little expenditure of money
to keep up the appearance of the place.
We hope this matter will be taken up
at the next meeting of our borough
dads" and that they will see their
way clear to give us more street
lights. The Wesbach light is second
cousin to the electric light and is the
next best light for street purposes. We
can't have the electric light now but we
can have the Welsbach at small cost.

The clang, clang of the fire alarm
bell, which was being agitated by
Borough Treasurer Tax Collector
William T. Cox, was heard above the
hustle and stir on our busy streets last
Thursday forenoon and everybody for
got business cares for few minutes
and were strictly concerned about
knowing where the fire was getting in
its work. The ever willing and gallant
fremen were soon rushing down Main
street with the hose cart. They had
not proceeded far down the street until
they met the information that their
services were not needed. Twoor three
times within week the fremen have
rushed out to do service but the fires
were small and they were not needed.
The fire Thursday was in the dwelling
Of Samuel Wray, on Water street. The
damage to the dwelling was slight, only
the paper and muslin on the ceiling ol
one room was burned Off. Cause OF fire
unknown. 1t Is supposed to have beer
caused by defective hue.
