The George Trial.

Canton, Ohio, April a1.-When court
adjourned last night it was thought
the trial of Mrs. George for the murder
of Geo. d. Saxton would soon be CON
cluded. The cross examination of Miss
Lizzie Miller about seeing man coming
from the Althouse residence after the
shooting of Saxton did not weaken the
new element her testimony brought into
the defense. Newton George, aged II,
told about witnessing intimate rela-
tions between his mother and SaXton
Joseph Eckroat, husband of the woman
who testified that she saw Mrs. George
firing two shots into Saxton's body testi-
fled that his wife had been using a
white powder presumed to be morphine
for the past IL years. 1t made her
drowsy and irritable.
Miss Florence B. Klinger testified to
passing Saxton at 5:55 o'clock the even
ing of his death. At 6:25 she said Mrs.
George came to her home and remained
there until $780, when she went to Ster-
ling's law office. These hours consti-
tute an alibi

HOT WORK In The PHILIPPINES.

Manila, April 21.-At 6 o'clock this
morning three companies of the South
Dakota regiment marched in conjunc-
tion with three companies of the Mime
sofa regiment from Guiguinto, north of
Bocave, and encountered the rebel
force, numbering fully 500 men, two
miles out. The enemy retired three
miles in fairly good order, in spite of
the fact that the rebels suffered heavy
losses. The Americans, having exhaust
ed their ammunition, We're compelled to
return to their camps.
Later the army tugs opened fire on
the enemy along the river bank. The
rebels are unusually active west of
Malolos as far as Calumpit. They have
been busily at work on trenches. Fires
are burning east of the railroad. 1t
would appear that the rebels are evac-
uatng foothill towns in anticipation of
attack upon the part of the American
troops. The heat is intense. Several

BY FRIEND OR FOE.
Gilmore's Party May Have Been Shot by
Spaniards Who Did Not Know the
War Had Ended.

Manila, April 21.-Admiral Dewey to-
day said that the expedition of the gun
boat Yorktown to Baler was purely to
rescue Spanish soldiers and priests be-
sieged in churches there. The soldiers
refused to surrender when ordered to
lay down their arms by General Rios
at the end of the Paris peace confer
ence. Dewey said he did not know what
became of Lieutenant Gilmore and the
fourteen men in the launch. The suppo-
sition is they were captured or killed by
Spaniards, or 400 insurgents besieging
the Spanish garrison. Dewey declined
to say what steps he would take toward
a punitive expedition. General Rios,
the Spanish commander, said he did not
think the garrison at Baler knew war
between the United States and Spain
had ended. He thought the Americans
were shot at by the insurgents, as the
Spaniards are besieged, and have no
way of getting to the river.

TESTIMONY OF A DEMOCRAT
A Gas Company Could Not Got Contracts
Until the Boss Was Seen and Given
Big Slice Of Stock for His
Influence.

New York, April 21.-The Mazet in
vestigation committee to-day resumed
its session. Henry M. Mcdonald, the
nominee of the Chicago platform Dem
ocrats for governor at the last state
election was the first witness
Moss asked: Have you any knowl-
edge of the affairs connected with the
Flushing Gas Company" Mcdonald
said that the gas company was reor-
ganized in 1898; that Henry ]. Braker,
member of the Democratic club and
another man purchased the first mort
gage bonds. The Flushing company en-
deavored to obtain the contract from
New York City, but was not successful
Finally, it was arranged by Braker
with Croker that the stockholders of
the company should turn over to An
drew Freedman 20 per cent of the stock
of the company, to be held for the bene-
fit of Croker and Freedman. This stock
was contributed by different stockhold-
ers pro rata. Thereupon, Freedman
was elected a member of the board of
directors. The agreement on the part
Of Croker and Freedman was that as
soon as possible the company would re-
ceive the contract for at least 500. pos
sibly 1000, additional lights. Mcdonald
was not present when the agreement
was made, but had been told what oc-
Cured by friends. Whether Croker
carried out his contract or not, McDon-
aid did not know.
Andrew Freedman was called, and
said he held stock in the Flushing Gas
Company. He denied that after he went
into the company it was allowed to sup
ply more lamps. He said that Croker
paid for stock he owned in the Fidelity
and Guarantee Company. Freedman
refused to answer whether there was a
rate war between his bond company
and another company, on the ground
that the question was not pertinent.
The bond company paid no dividend.
Moss drew Freedman's attention to the
testimony of Croker that he got divi-
dends regularly from the United States
Fidelity and Guarantee Company.
Freedman said as manager he had
salary and a commission, which he di-
vided with Croker.
