THE BOTKIN CASE,
The Defendant Getting Nervous Under
 the Terrific Strain.

San Francisco, December 13.-The Botkin case is proceeding with great rapidity.
 It is expected the attorneys for the de- fense will make their efforts when it comes to the connecting of the poison with their client. Mrs. Botkin appears to be getting nervous under the strain. She has repeat edly declined invitations to question wit nesses.
 Hon. J. B. Pennington, father of Mrs. Joseph Cunning and Mrs. Joshua Deane, was the first witness called today. His tes- timony was unimportant
 Dr. l.. H. Bishop, who attended Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane during their ill., ness, testified to the symptoms of the vic- tims and his treatment of them. He ad- mits that he did net know what had caused the death of his patients until after chemical analysis of the candy had been made and that his first impression as to the cause of the trouble was ptomaine pois- oning. He described the sufferings of the patients during the early hours and said they were exactly similar.
 The witness suffered at the hands of Lawyer Knight, who questioned him on his knowledge of poisons and their symptoms. He admitted that he did not know the na- ture of the illness of Mrs. Dunning or Mrs. Deane and that he did not know until two days later that they had eaten candy.
 Dr. Downs, of Dover, who also attended Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane, gave tes- timony similar to that given by the pre- ceding witness.
 Dr. Wolf, the analytical chemist who an- alyzed some of the candy sent to Mrs. Dun- ming, testified that he analysed three pieces of the candy and found about half a grain of porcelaine arsenic in the three pieces He identified some of the candy but could not identify the box. His tstimony was of an expert nature.

ROW AT A FUNERAL.
Pallbearers and Soldiers Engage in a
 Violent Affray.

Havana. December 13.-About o'clock this morning when a funeral procession which was escorting the hearse containing the remains of Captain Jesus Sotolongo. who was killed Sunday night, reached the corner of Infanta and San Jose streets, violent affray took place between members of the funeral party and some employees of the military hospital
 The following were wounded:
 Dr. Betancourt, Cuban deputy for Santia- go de Cuba.
 Rafael Portuondo Cuban deputy.
 The Cuban general, Vidal.
 The Cuban colonel, Armando Rivas.
 Francisco Lucas Blanco, a Spaniard. Ramon Garcia, a Spaniard.
 Three women and two children.
 Garcia, who was stabbed. may die, and Portuondo was badly hurt.
 One version of the affray is that the mill itary hospital employees and number of Spanish privates who were standing in the hospital portico, refused to remove their hats when requested to do so by persons in the procession. Thereupon the Cubans, 1t is alleged, tried to knock off the hats and fight ensued.
 The privates fired upon the procession, the windows of the hearse being broken and bullets striking the coffin. Knives and pistols were freely used.
 The procession, which consisted of eight eeh carriages, continued to the Cuban camp near Marianao, where military honors were rendered. There were fifty wreaths of flowers from the friends of Captain So- tolongo, and the procession and the cere- mony was virtually demonstration against the Hotel Inglaterra outrage.

TEN-YEAR TAX EXEMPTION
To All New Big Manufacturing Concerns
 Attracting Much Attention.

The bill which is now being so favor- ably considered by the Alabama legislature to exempt from taxation all manufacturing concerns of $5O,OO0 or over for period of ten years which may be established in this state during the next five years. is already attractingJa a great deal of attention from the various industrial interests of states other than Alabama, both north and south.
 A letter was received yesterday from M. L. Towze, editor of the Furniture World, a periodical devoted to the interests of that line of manufacture, and published in New York city, saying that he had heard of the proposed law and wanted to know more particulars concerning 1t.
 He says he has taken great interest in the south and wanted to know especially what advantages Alabama offers for the furniture manufacturer.
 Acting Secretary Grace of the Commer- cial Club will answer him at length on this subject, calling attention to the pine. oak and other forests of the state, and giving him other points of information.

FLAGMAN SHOT
 BY ENGINEER Serious Difficulty in the Southern Rail-
 way Yards. DISAGREED OVER ORDERS CabOOSe Cut Loose from Engine and Left Standing on the Track. FLAGMAN ABUSED THE ENGINEER Mounted the Engine With an Open Knife in His Hand, So it is Said
 Engineer Surrendered
 to Police.
FLAGMAN ABUSED THE ENGINEER

At an early hour yesterday morning se- rious difficulty took place in the Twenty seventh street yards of the Southern Rail- way company near the intersection of First avenue between the engineer and fagman of outgoing train, which resulted in one of the men being shot and the other a self made prisoner.
 Shortly before o'clock, J. w. Tagert, the engineer was ordered to pull an extra. which would follow the regular train, No. Il. over the Western division of the road. In accordance with instructions, Tagert got his engine in readiness and attached to the caboose which he was to carry which was standing in the yard beyond the Sloss fur mace.
 Disagreed Over Movement of Train
 The conductor had not arrived, and the fiagman, s. H. Duncan, 1t is said, objected to the train being moved to the Twenty seventh street office, where orders were re- ceiyed. Tagert insisted and Duncan told him that If he attempted to move the train he would cut the caboose off. Tagert started the engine and at the first crossing Duncan according to his threats, cut the caboose loose, and the engine proceeded to tho yard office without 1t. The conductor who was at the office, instructed the engi- neer to back up to the caboose and get it which Engineer Tagert did, and the caboose was pulled up to the office.
 Abused the Eneineer
 It is said that Duncan heaped abuse upon the engineers head, although his conductor told him he was wrong. He continued to abuse Tagert and finally climbed up on the engine with an open knife in his hand and threatened to murder the engineer who sat on his box with the throttle in his hand. Tagert, it is said, tried to argue with Dun can, who became more demonstrative, flourishing his knife, when Tagert pulled his pistol and fired three shots, all of which took effect in the lower part of the abdomen.
 Duncan ran into the yard office and was placed on the floor until the Warner-Smiley ambulance could be sent for. in which he was removed to the Hilman Hospital. His wounds were examined, and while serious were found not to be necessarily fatal.
 Surrendered to the Police
 Tagert quietly walked to police headquar- ters and gave himself up pending an off, ciaI investigation. He did not take time to change his clothes and when seen by an Age-Herald reporter he looked as if he was just ready to go out, being dressed in his overhalls.
 He declined to make any statement other than that he regretted that it became necessary for him to shoot in self-defense. He is apparently quiet and bears an excel lent reputation among his fellow workmen. telephne message firm Hillman Hospit- al late last night stated that Duncan was resting easy with fair chance of recov- cry.
