The O'Neil Trial Yesterday.

Greenfield Mass, July 27.-The trial OF
John O'Neil, for the murder of Mrs.
Hattie E. McCloud, opened this morning
" 4dh throngs of people waiting for ad.
mittance and one-half of them could not
be accommodated. The expectation that
the arguments would be made brought
out the people, but there was considerable
testimony presented.
In rebuttal the prosecution offered the
record Of the testimony given at the in
quest, held after the murder, to show that
Mrs. O'Neil, Tommy and Rose O'Neil
made statements that were contradictory
Thomas Lucas, the stenographer who
| took the testimony at the inquest and
Judge Lyman, who presided, were called,
and they testified to discrepancies in the
evidence.
The prosecution put on little testi-
mony in rebuttal. The first witness was
George Somers, companion of Tommy
O'Neil who testified that he was with
Tommy Friday night at the time he
claims to have met his brother John ON
the bridge. Witness denied that either of
them met O'Neil on the bridge and did
not see him at all.
Homer S. Tuttle testified that he was
one of the crowd in front of the barber
| shop on Friday when O'Neil claims to
have approached them and asked for a
| cigarette at 7.50 O'Clock. Witness denied
that O'Neil was there ut any time that
evening.
L. H.. Whitney, a member of the state
board of police, gave in detail his talk
with Joseph Atkins on the afternoon on
which N'Neil was arrested. Atkins said
to him that he saw O'Neil at O'Clock
Friday night, but on the next day, wit
ness said, Atkins said that it was at S
O'Clock he saw him instead of seven.
Detective Rhode, who was present at
this conversation between Atkins and
Officer Whitney stated that he asked
Atkins: "Then you lied when you said
it was at o'clock and you did it to help
O'Neil." Atkins replied, said witness,
Eyes, I know its a lie, but it will HELM
O'Neil and I'm going to stick to it.
| This ended the evidence in the case on
both sides and Counsel G. j. Parkhurst
opened his argument for the defense.

TRIED TO JUMP A TRAIN.
A Much Wanted Man at Biddeford Injured
in Portland.

Michael Downey of IS Pool street, this
city, was injured this morning while at
tempting to jump west bound freight
on the Eastern division at Portland, says
the Biddeford Journal. He was picked
up unconscious and a Portland physician
attended him, and he was later sent to
his home here, where DR.. Fogg made an
examination. The physician said that
Downey would probably recover in few
days. The man is wanted by the police
here for an assault on Donnell Fillion.
Downey has been away from Biddeford
since the night of July 2, when on &C
| count of the assault, he was chased by
Deputy Marshal Mogan and Officer
Ducharme. He was feet footed, and the
discharge of revolver behind him, only
accelerated his progress through the dark
ness. He made his escape from the
officers, and has not since been heard
from, though the police have been expect
ing him to return and warrant has been
ready for him.
This morning Downey tried to jump
the early freight out of Portland at about
five O'Clock. He is said to be an expert
at the trick, but by an accident failed to
make Success Of Il this time. Fortunate
~, he was trying for grip on the last
car. and when he lost his hold, the results
were not so serious as would have been
the case probably, had he reached for any
other car. He fell on the rails, however,
with a force which knocked the breath
from his body, and lay there still and un-
conscious. When picked up, he was
thought to be badly injured, for his face
had a death like pallor. After a physician
had examined him, however, he was
judged to be not seriously injured the
chief trouble seeming to be about the
region of the stomach.
A working train which came out here
about $50 brought him to this city. The
settee on which he was laid on the train
was removed to an express wagon, and he
was conveyed to IS Pool street, where DR..
Fogg attended him. Officer Martin, who
was at the Western division station when
the work train came in, took charge of
the man, and rode to his home with him.
Downey was conscious or the way from
the station, and was able to explain the
cause of his injury. 1t is thought that he
will be able to be about again in short
time.

Thu POST ON THU YUKON
Government Will Send Soldiers to
Gold FieliS.
WILL BE LOCATED AT CIRCLE CITY
CAPT. RAY In COMMAND.

New Post To Be. Garrisoned by so Men
VIII Arrive Before Winter Season Be-
gins.
Washington, July 27.-The principle
topic of discussion at today's cabinet
meeting was the legal aspect of the pro-
posed establishment of a military post
In Alaska near the gold fields. In some
quarters there is doubt as to the power
of the executive to establish post with
out special authorization by Congress,
but the weight of opinion appeared to
favor the exercise of such right by the
executive as an emergency measure. Sec
rotary Alger has already made the neces-
sary preparations for carrying out at once
the plans to establish the post The COM
mander of the troops will be Capt. P. H.
Ray, a man well known for his soldierly
ability and with a fine reputation as a
leader of expeditions, having established
the United States relief station at Point
Barrow, the farthest north in Alaska.
He wintered at this exposed and frigid
place and is well acquainted with the
wants of the projected expedition. Capt.
Ray at present is at Fort D. A. Russell
in Wyoming. 1t is probable that he will
be joined in the expedition by Capt.
Abercrombie, The latter said he had 60
picked men for the service and the de-
partment may avail of these to make up
the quota of so men which will constitute
the garrison of the new post The post
itself will be established near Circle City.
The North American Transportation
and Trade Company has offered to trans
port the troops to Alaska and to land
them at their destination for $3.50 per
man and $50 per ton for freight The
steamer will sail from Seattle on August
8, the latest date that will ensure the safe
arrival of the party at Circle City before
the winter season begins. The steamer
will proceed to St. Michaels and there
viii trans-ship to river steamer.
Just before the assembling of the cabi-
net today messenger from the War De-
partment was let into the room carrying
package of smokeless power. The pow
der was in various shapes to fit it for
special uses Of the army and Secretary
Alger gave the cabinet members a short
talk upon the development Of this new
war material by the ordinance depart
ment of the army.

clean as if done by masons. Engine liza

ment of the mechanism of the shifter
