MRS. GEORGES HEARING.
She VIII Probably BE Held to An
swcr the Higher Court.

Canton, O.. Oct. 1.-THE day has
brought little change in the case against
Mrs. Annie r. George, accused OF muir
dering George d. saxton. Her preliminary
hearing was commenced in the justice
court and a number of Witnesses against
her were examined. None have been cali
ed in her behalf and 1t remains to be
seen whether she will be held TO answer
the higher courts. She probably will, for
the evidence thus far pretty clearly es-
tabllshes that she went to the vicinity
of the tragedy about the time it occurred
and she had made threats against the life
Of SaXton. Not only the little justices
office. but the Railways and sidewalks
leading thereto, were jammed with the
crowd that was anxious TO hear the evil
dence ana see how the accused acquitted
herself.
Court adjourned tonight with five wit
nesses for the state examined. The tes-
timony was in line with that given IN
interviews and taken before the coroner
as has already been covered In these dis
patches.
Street Car Motorman Rittenhouse testi-
fled that a woman who was pointed out by
the conductor as Mrs. George rode from
uptown to Hazlett avenue with him about
300 O'Clock Friday evening and left the
car at Hazlett avenue, which Is the first
street east of the scene of the tragedy.
Henry J. Bederman, who lives near the
Althouse home, testified that while stand
ing near the corner grocery, where he
heard two shots, he saw two people at the
AHhouse steps and one of them, woman,
fired nnd walked away. There was a call
for telp, and the woman walked back,
fired two more shots and then ran away
through a vacant lot in the rear. After the
last shot the man fell, and later witnesses
found him to he George Saxton. lie could
not ten who the woman was.
Police Officers McCloud and Pierce
testified to arresting Mrs. George. They
said they found burs and Spanish needles
on her clothes. and that her hand was
dscolored as though from smoke. and
from the odor they concluded that 1t was
gunpowder smoke.
Percy Van Horne, a newspaper reporter.
testified that Mrs. George had sent for
him six months ago to tell him of some
trouble she had with Saxton, during which
she pointed a gun at him. At this time
she said she wanted IL written up and
written right. She gave her version OF the
occurrence, and said she would shoot
saxton II he did not keep his promise to
marry her after the case brought by her
former husband was settled.

the provost guard. One man was killed
and five wounded, two fatally. The kill

Wounded:
Private E. Wiles, Company NJ, Sixth
Infantry; Private Larkin, Company L,
Sixteenth Infantry.
A trooper Tenth Cavalry, name not
known.
Soon after the men left the train, one Of
the cavalrymen went to a house frequent
ed by white men and attempted to clean
out the place. He was arrested by a cor
poral's detail of four men of the provost
guard. The arrest was quickly noised
about and the negro cavalrymen attempt
ed 10 rescue the prisoner. The first man
who advanced toward the guard was halt
ed, and as he turned to run was fired upon.
Firing then became almost general, and
continued several minutes
Corpl. Mclaughlin, Company L, Sixth
Infantry, commanding the detail was
killed az the first fire Private E. Wiles,
Company M. Sixth Infantry, was shot in
the knee, and Private LarSin Company L,

hospital.
Private James Gleeton, Troop NJ, Tenth
Cavalry, received a bullet in the spine,
and will die. Two other Tenth Cavalry
men, whose names are not known, were
wounded, one of theI~ fatally.
The affair would have been attended by
more serious consequences had not a
mounted platoon from the Tenth Cavalry
scattered the belligerent negroes with
drawn sabers. The white soldiers here
entertain q very bitter feeling against the
negro troopers, and it is feared trouble
will occur whenever the two races meet.
The Tenth was given a camp situated
more than a mile from any other regi-
ment

A TAX ON BRIDES, TOO.
Marriage Licenses Must Also Bear a
War Revenue Stamp.

war Revenue Stamp.
There is tax on brides. 1t is not
pTohibitive, and it is indirect, and it
Is probable that the trainers of the new
war revenue tax bill did not have it in
their minds when they provided that
all certificates not enumerated in the
bill should be stamped with a 1O-cent
adhesive stamp. The ruling is that
the marriage license is exempt, but
the stamp must be put upon the minis
ter's certificate. AS the law further
provides that no unstamped document
can be used in any court as evidence,
it will easily be seen what complica-
tions might arise should the stamping
of the certificate be overlooked or
neglected.
A good many letters are being re-
ceived by the Collectors from farmers
who have an idea that they have to
pay tax on tobacco grown by them
Such is not the case. The farmer car
store his tobacco in a warehouse with.
out having to pay any stamp tax, but
he has no authority in selling tobacco
to dispose also of his exemption from
tax. In other words, he cannot con
fer upon the buyer any exemption from
the tax, privilege enjoyed only by
the grower of the tobacco.
