HELD FOR THE GRAND .URy
James Williams. Who Shot His Wife
Through the Hend

Judge Miller in the Police Court TODAY
held James Williams, colored, for the action
of the grand jury in 5000 bonds, on a
charge of assaulting his wife, Cornelia
Williams, with intent to kill her, December
% last, at i33 Washington street 1t will
be remembered that Williams placed a
pistol at his wifes head and sent a bullet
through her cheek, and then shot her
through the head Next he attempted to
kill his aged and invalid mother-in-law, and
as climax sent a chunk of lead into his
own Uranium. Both husband and wife were
at the Emergency Hospital for several
weeks in a serious condition as a result of
their injuries.
Mrs Williams was highly excited on the
witness stand and appeared very much in
censed when Attorney Jones, who appeared
for the defendant, attempted to show on
cross-examina;ion that she was a prosti-
tute. No testimony was offered for the de-
fense, so the court took the action stated.

THEY SAW THE EN-QuEEN.
Rush of People at the Special Pres
View

For two hours yesterday afternoon the
eX-Quecn Of Hawaii received the people of
Washington in her apartments at the
Shoreham, and during that time hun
dred or more ladies and gentlemen passed
in review before her, and were given an
opportunity to shake the hand that once
ruled the destinies of the South Pacific
Islands. 1t Mrs. Dominis' expressed
wish that the reception should be confined
TO the newspaper people OF Washington.
Ever since her arrival last Saturday she
had been besieged by woud-be interview
ers. SO that she finally decided to set aside
time when she would them all at
once.
But the fact that an ex-queen was to he
on exhibition was altogether too much for
the curiosity of lots OF people whose con-
nectlon with the press is shadowy and
vague. Consequently, the reception deveI-
oped into quite a general affair. Among
those who called TO pay their respects to
the gracious lady were about a score of
local newspaper men and regular corre-
sponuents. The remainder were ladies', d
few of whom act as occasional correspon-
dents for out-of-town papers, the ma jority
being attracted by mere curiosity II was
just such crowd as calls upon the wife
visitors reveled in the opportunity to gaze
upon the features of royalty.
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani was handsomely
dressed Tor the occasion in black satin bro
wrists she wore heavy gold bracelets, and
on her massive bosom were pinned a
couple of decorations of the Masonic order
to which her late husband, Gen. Dominis
belonged. In her manner she was pleas
ant enough, without being at all profuse
and she seemed rather amused than graf
flied by the evident alteration for royalty
on the part of some of her callers. 1t Was
Your majesty this and Your majesty
that, and one young woman told her that
she had always longed to meet a queen,
ana that this was the happiest moment of
her life The eX-queen stood the remarks
OF ner callers pretty well, though her an
swers to their questions We're sometimes
very brief, and always non-committaL She
was questioned on every conceivable tonic
from the climate of Honolulu to her opin.
ion of Mr.. Cleveland ard her estimate Of
the next President. She would discuss the
genial climate Of her island home and was
willing to speak of the delights of bathing
in the Pacific, but she shied terribly every
time reference was made to any politica |
topic.
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani was assisted in
receiving by her Hawaiian companions.
MISS kia Nahaolelena and Mr. Helelulie
While her Boston private secretary, Mr..
Palmer, clad in evening DRESS acted as
grand chamberlain with a dignity and
grace that would have done credit TO a
drawing room at Buckingham He ushered
callers into the presence and made the pre-
sentatlons. Altogether, the reception was
an affair that will not soon be forgot en-
oy those who We're presented.

Judge miller want. . New

Judge Miller in the Police Court TODAY
expressed himself in emphatic terms on an
important subject. The remarks were oc-
casioned by the application of Ella Rogers.
nineteen-year-old colored girl, to have
her infant child committed to the board Of
chiIdren's guardians.
This is a condition that has TO be met
about once a week." said the court. .sHere
is girl with no home. no employment, mo
relatives, and with an illegitimate child
These children must be reared at public
expense until they are fifteen or sixteen
years old, at a cost of 1880 each. The
parents should be prosecuted under the
Edmunds act. The money referred to could
be much better expended In relieving the
wants Of legitimate children whose parents
are reduced to honest poverty. 1 hope the
district attorney viii frame a law to cover
such cases.
The child OF the Rogers girl was com.
mitted TO the custody of the board.

NOWFORSuEDS AND SKATES
A Possibility of Several Inches of Snow
by Morning.
An lee blockade ON the River Prob
able-Thc south Having nn
Arctic Experience.

The coli wave has sched its severest
point and during the next few days sta-
uonary or higher temperature may be
expected in this city. 1t is quite likely
that the temperature will be very low for
a week or more and the present prospects
are that the Potomac river will be closed
to navigation within forty-eight hours. and
that soon skaters may safely go between
Washington and Alexandria.
a snowstorm is now prevailing in the
southern states with the storm center on
the southern Atlantic coast, working to
the north. This afternoon and tonight will
bring light fall of snow in this city and
it is possible from the prevailing low on
the Atlantic coast that fall of snow OF
several inches may take place in this
city within the next twenty-four hours.
The cold wave that has gone over the
United States during the past several da VS.
is one of the severest, considering both the
low temperatures that prevailed in many
places and the vast extent of the area
covered 1y II. that mas been recorded by
the weather bureau in its thirty years OF
unusual experience. Throughout Texas.
Louisiana, Mississippi. Alabama and in
a large part of Georgia there is a fall Of
snow of from TO three inches in depth.
The coldest weather ever recorded at New
Orleans Is II degrees above zero, which
was experienced in 1856. This morning
the temperature at that place was 22 de-
EreeS above.
The fear that the orange groves in Flor
ida might be greatly damaged by The pre-
vaiIing cold wave has not been realized.
A rainstorm centering in the West Indies
and carrying with 1t a higher tempera-
ture worked up over the Florida coast and
had an influence in counteracting the cold
wave from the northwest, and ii ,s stated
that the organge groves Throughout Flor
| ida nave escaped injury. The temperatures
over the country generally are this morn
Ing from 10 to IA degrees higher than they
were yesterday, and for the next twenty
four hours they will remain stationary or
probal ly go slightly higher. The prevail
ing snowstorm extends from the gulf to the
lake region and is generally working its
way north and east.
The weather bureau predicts for this
afternoon and tonight light fall of snow,
with clearing weather tomorrow morning
and fair weather tomorrow afternoon.
