house at 212 11th street. in the Division. :"

ant at the time. made the raid on the night
of the 10th of last month. The case was
heard two weeks later. but the Jury. as
published in The Star at the time, failed
to agree. This failure to act was the rea
son why a second trial was rendered nee
essary.
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny called
the case. and said he was ready for trial.
Mr.. Forest, counsel for the woman, was
not ready for trial, as he was engaged in
another court, and the case went over

Love for His "Illustrious Ally"
LONDON, April 16-The Vienna CORE
spondent of The Times, in a description
of the ceremonies connected with Emperor
Williams visit, says: Yesterdays parade
goes deal further than all the prose of
the Austrian and German press towards
manifesting the intimacy of the two mon
archies. 1t was the first time Emperor
Francis Joseph has assumed supreme com
mand of a military parade since 1873, dur
ing the visit of the czar
The different nationalities of the mon
archy were duly represented in the field,
and the picturesque effect was enhanced
by sprig of green fir which every officer
and man wore in his helmet as token of
the day being a festival. There were alto
gether forty-on battalions of infantry, or
over 20, 600 men. The first section was led
by the Archduke Eugene, brother of the
queen regent of Spain.
The two monarchs were escorted by
brilliant suite, in which were a thousand
Austrian, German and other officers and
military attaches. In the opinion of mil
itary men it was the finest review ever
witnessed here, both in point of numbers
and efficiency. The spectators included
four arch dukes and the Arch Duchess
Maria Josepha. Over 1900 equipages con-
tanned the aristocracy.
At the lunch at the Josefstadt barracks,
Emperor William gave the following
toast
II remain faithful to the traditions of
my august grandfather. AS he loved the
brave Austrian army, so am devoted to
the gallant troops of my illustrious ally. 1
have highly appreciated the opportunity
afforded me today of leading my own regi-
ment past the Emperor Joseph. l feel
that interpret the feeling of all present at
this table when, with all my heart, l cry
'Hurrah for the emperor and his army. "
! At o'clock Emperor Francis Joseph
gave grand military banquet of 139
covers at the palace After the ban
| quet prolonged reception was held. No
speeches were made at the banquet, and
Emperor Francis Joseph accompanied Em-
peror William to the railway station at s
o'clock. AS an incident of the visit deco
rations have been showered upon the suites
of both emperors.

AssAILIUG FRANKLIN AND SMITH.

In the House Mr.. Blue, of Kansas, Attempts
to Prevent the Recollection of These Two
Members of the Board of Managers of the
National Soldiers Homes.
WASHINGTON, April 16-The house yes
terday witnessed a rather sensational as
sault on General William b. Franklin, of
Connecticut, president of the board OF
managers of the national soldiers homes,
and Governor A. j. Smith, of the Leaven-
worth home, in connection with resolu-
tion for the reappointment of General
Franklin and others to membership on
the board. Mr.. Blue of Kansas, who de-
clared war on General Franklin some
time ago while the sundry civil bill was
before the house, renewed the attack yes
terday with the avowed intention OF de-
feating General Franklin and electing in
his place General o. o. Howard. Mr. Blue
charged that General franklin was either
grossly negligent and incompetent or dis
honest. His main assault, however, was
directed at Governor Smith (for whom he
charged General Franklin was response
ble). Governor Smith he charged with
drunkenness, cruelty and favoritism. He
produced letters and kilograms to support
his allegations.
General Curtis, of New York, gallant
soldier, who lost an eye at Fort Fisher, and
Mr. Steele, of Indiana a member of the
board of managers, who is named for re-
election on the board, defended the gov
ernor. The former said the official inves-
tigation Of Governor Smiths conduct COM
pletely exonorated him, and the latter in
the course of his remarks declared that he
had library full of such literature as Mr.
Blue had adduced. 1t was, he said, all ex
parte and unworthy of credence Both
paid high tributes to General Franklin.
Mr. Poole, of New York, who lost an arm
during the war and who was IA comrade of
Governor Smith, testified to his personal
character as a man and bravery as a
soldier. The vote on the resolution will
be taken at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
The senate spent the entire day on the
Dupont case, Mr.. Gray, of Delaware, ar
guing against the claim of Mr., Dupont.
During the day Mr. German proposed an
agreement that final vote on the Dupont
case be taken next Wednesday, which was
declined. This tender by Mr. German was
regarded as significant of the confidence
of the opposition to Mr.. Dupont to resist
his claims to a seat.

BROOKLYN, April 16-Four little boys of
Port jefferson started fire near the town,
while playing Indians. They made S-year-
old William Shimpton prisoner, and
tied him to a tree. Then they set the un-
derbrush around the bound boy on fire
The flames burned so quickly that all the
brush was soon in blaze. In awful fear
the boys then hurried TO the village,
aroused the residents, and the latter hur-
ried to the rescue. When the Shimpton
boy was finally unbound he was nearly
dead from burns.
