The jury in the trial OF John Early, Rich
ard Hurley and Maurice Davis, charged
with assault upon Policeman William Yer
million on September 22 last, were dis
missed at p. m. yesterday till Monday.
They were enjoined not to talk with any
body about the case, and in response asked
that they might be allowed to go out to tie
Malone lot and examine the ground where
the fight occurred that resulted in Timothy
Dempsey's death.
They were told init they might 20
either in a body or individually. II was
suggested from both sities that witnesses
interested in the case should go with them
to point out the conditions under which tie
killing occurred, but Judge Cox discJna-
tenanced this.
In the course OF the trial yesterday iiC,e
were again several lively interchanses be-
statements as to the defendants aud Mr..
Lipscomb exclaimed
And | say that isn't true"
Mr.. Jeffords paid no attention ~ this
and when MIR. LipsconIb in some way called
attention to his remark Mr.. Jeffords con-
tented himself with the answer:
II hear what you say
The testimony OF the aftern Don Was
opened by putting Policeman Lynch ON the
stand.
REPUTATION WAS GOOD.
After some unimporiant testimony from
him James Spade, James Kelly, James F.
Hevlin and Patrick Bowler testified that
they had long known Maurice Davis. Sew
eral or them had employed him. TLey
agreed that his reputation was that IL
quiet, inoffensive, industrious citizen. lie
was good bricklayer. They never knew
him to be in trouble OF any kind before.
Defendant Davis himself was then put
upon the stand.
Mr.. Davis said he lived at No. 913 First
street northeast; had lived in Washington
all his life-twenty- y-seven years; had been
4 bricklayer six years.
On Saturday evening, before the row at
the Malone lot, he left home about s
O'Clock. 1t was a very hot night. He was
alone till late In the evening. About IL
O'Clock he was with Defendant Hurley and
Timothy Dempsey at the Malone lot. Early
came to them a little after midnight. He
and Early were seated on the fence OF the
Mahone lot quietly talking of a Job of work.

ORDERED THEM AWAY.


Vertnillion came up and ordered them to
disperse; took hold of Dempsey, struck him
in the leg with his club. and told him to
come along with him. Dempsey said he
hadn't done anything.
The two wrestled a nd Dempsey threw the
policeman. Vermiiiion called Early to help
him, and Early separated them. Dempsey
stepped over the Malone lot fence and
started away. Vermillion drew his pist ol
and shot Dempsey.
To q juror Davis said he was sure the
shooting did not occur till Dempsey had
twice thrown Vermillion 10 the ground.
Defendant John Early testified that he
had lived In the neighborhood of the Ma
hone LOT. ION the hin,'' for twenty years.
1t was a very hot night, on the Saturday
night that Dempsey was killed.
He told how he had met Dempsey and
Davis near the lot on that night They
walked over to the lot and he and Davis
took seats on the fence. About that time
Hurley came across the lot 10 them. Demp-
sey ard Hurley then lay down and Demp-
sey went TO sleep.
He aud Davis were sitting there quietly
He had Just lighted his pipe, and when he
looked up Vermillion was standing before
him Vernillion asked what they were do
ing and said: Consider yourselves un-
der arrest" He said: IAN right
Then Vermillion went over and showed
Hurley with his foot. Hurley stood up.
Next Vermillion took hold OF Dempsey by
the foot aud struck him three or four times
on the sole of the foot. Dempsey jumped
up aud said: My God! Don't do that
VERY SOUND ASLEEP.
He thought Dempsey had been So sound
asleep he didn't know where he was, nor
who had struck him. He did not recognize
that it was an officer. He grapplcd with
his assailant and threw him to the ground
At that vermillion called out:
Jimmy John, come and take this man
off of me-
The witness said all right and took hold
of Dempsey to pull him away. He told
Dempsey that 1t was policeman. and when
Dempsey got up he started off across the
lot saying.
Let me alone vermillion. I've done moth
ing to be arrested for. i don't want any
trouble with you
As Dempsey moved away Vermillion shot
him. The witness looked at Vernillion Just
| after the shot was fired. VermilliOn's face
was white as sheet of paper. He Thought
| he was to be the next victim, and stepped
| into the shadow. just at that moment the
| electric light went low.
Then yermillion blew his police whistle.
| Dempsey cried out that he was shot, ana 'he
| witness who had got away from tie scene
of the fight. made his escape from the row.
Early admitted that he had been several
| times convicted of disorderly conduct
| because he was addicted TO drink: He ex
planned that he had been known as Jimmy
| John" from boybood. because his name was
| James John. He admitted that he was
| arrested on Labor Day by Policeman Yer
| million near the Malone lot for being DIS
| orderly.
There were three others with him ther
| and another policeman with Vernillion
They were all lodged in the station.
The day closed with the testimony ol
two reputable citizens that Early is q
| hard working man, and the only thlne
they ever heard against him was his drink

THE sPANIARDs DEFEATED.

A short time ago the Spaniards were
claiming that the forces under Antonio
Maceo, the mulatto insurgent leader in
Cuba, were much disconnected and we're
suffering from the fatigue and priva-
sions which they had undergone. These
rebels. IL Was alleged, were dissatisfied
also because Maoeo had promised them
the plumber of the province of Pinar del
Bio, IS we'll as the capture Of the capital
OF the province, and had fulfilled none
OF these promises; on the contrary they
had, IL was claimed, been badly defeate
by the Spaniards and driven into the
mountains.
It now appears from the news re-
ceived yesterday that instead OF being
demoralizsd by defeats the insurgents
under Maceo are aggressive enough to
whip strong column SEMI out against
them and to interfere in other ways
very seriously with the calculations Of
General Weyler. While President
Cleveland Is holding back in according
belligerent rights to tie Cuban patriots,
they are conducting the war with q
vigor and persistence that must event
ually compel the administration to
carry out the wishes of Congress In this
respect, and further still to acknowl-
edge the independence OF the people OF
that island.

HOW TO HAVE GOOD WIVES
II Husbands Are Better, Home VIII, rse

/ have read with much amusement Soma

am of tho opinion that the true reason
of there not being moro good wives is be-
cause there are not moro good husbands.
Let young man who feels he Is, In q no.
sition to marry endeavor to find some good
tgirl who has been properly reared-men-
tally, morally and in household duties. If,
after an acquaintance there should be q

After marriage the man must remembcc,
that no has married q human being like

a man should show his wife the Same
Hove and kindness he did when he was her
lover. Woman Graves love. 1t is GO her
what dew is to the flowers. Such girl as
have described, reared by good mother,
will understand and be willing TO take
charge of the house. If her husband has
mot sufficient means to employ a servant
l sho will gladly do her own work. OF
course l do not mean the heavier work
washing, housekeeping, etc.; there would
be no economy in that, rs Doctors fees
would be sure to cost more in short time
1t Will not be necessary for a man to
complain of n wife such as this regarding
her dress. She will always be as neat and
ms well dressed as her position will admit
This wife will not be wall1ower at
any gathering she may attend. Her edu-
cation will allow her to converse ON many
subjects.
The utmost candor should exist between
husband and wife. She should know the
amount of his income, so that she may bet
ter know how to regulate her household
expenses.
AS to the rearing of children If they see
their parents love and respect each other
they will love and respect them also and
must, of fact, grow up good.
In conclusion, L repeat that believe
three-fourths of our girls would make
good wives if they married good hus-
bands.

McKINLEY'S CHANCES.

Representative Aldrich, of Illinois, b as
just given out q statement OF Speaker
Reeds strength as candidate for the
Republican nomination for President,
, which is much more favorable to that
gentleman's chances than the general
public had supposed.
According to his statement Reed has
the support of Ill of the 49i delegates
to the national Republican convention
already selected and Mckinley 169. OF
the remainder Morton. Allison, Quay,
Cullom and Bradley got Ice, while As
are classed as doubtful. OF course, &C.
cording to these figures, combination
OF the field against the Ohio man might
defeat him; but Mr.. Aldrich neglects to
state that Mckinley is the second
choice in several of the States having
favorite sons as we'll as of districts which
have endorsed some other candidate. 4
This fact would make such a conbi-
nation very difficult, and as nothing
succeeds like success McKinleys great
strength on the first ballot would bring
over many waverers to him. SO far as
Speaker Reed, Governor Morton and
Senator Quay are concerned the fact
that acomb!nation against Mckinley is
contemplated by their friends is almost
equivalent to an admission tina. these
fsvorite soma when the time to nomi-
nate a candidate for President arrives,
will have to take back seats In favor OF
some dark horse yet to be named.
On the whole, to outsiders no. par.
ticularly interested in the result, Nc
Kinlsy'o chances for the nomination 80
far seem among the best, and all the
figuring Of the friends Of other candi-
dates, no matter how plausibly ar.
ranged. cannot change this impression
as long as States and districts continue
as they have to endorse the man from
Ohio.
