RUMRILL WILL CASE.
Mr.. P. J. Morris And Mr.. E. M.
Baum Have A Lively ColIoquy.
Evidence introduced On Both Sides
Yesterday, And Captain Old Begins His
Opening Speech -Wil Finish To-Day.

a lively episode occurred in the trial
of the Rumr:ll will case yesterday. Mr..
Z. ]. Morris, who, with Mr.. a. =. Thom,
is representing the contestant of the
will, went on the stand 10 impeach Mr..
c. II. Terrell. one of the subscribing
witnesses 10 the will. Captain Old. rep
rcsenting the plaintiffs, had suspected
that some such move would be made
by the defense, and he put on the stand
the following gentlemen, who testified
that Mr.. Terrell was OF unimpeachable
character: Judge j. VI. Keeling. Mr..
George w. Dey. Colonel e. ~. Nash. Mr..
Jchn Il. Jenkins, Judge Thomas IL.
Wilcox, Mr.. T. l.. Kite. Mr. Lawrence
Register and Judge f. NJ. Whitchurst.
Mr.. L. NJ. Baum was then put on the
stand to impcach Mr. Norris.
y lengthy colloauy ensued between
MessrS. Eaum and Morris. which held
the attention OF the spectators.
MORE TESTIMONY.
Contrary TO the expectations of some,
more testimony was introduced yester-
day morning by the defense, and the
plaintiffs put up several witnesses in
rebuttal, so it was late in the afternoon
before Captain Old began his opening
speech, which was not concluded when
the court adjourned at about $50
o'clock.
The testimony of the defense yester-
day was principally cumulative. show
ing further the irresponsible condition
of Captain Rumrill for long while be-
fore his death.
In rcbuttal. the plaintiffs put up sew
cral witnesses. among whom was Mel
lie y. Steele. better known as Lottie
Hastings. of 81 Avon street. Her testi-
mony was principally in regard to Il
former will in which ('lntuiO RIInril IL

was also attempted 10 be shown by hcr
that Captain Rumrill was bent on dis
inhcrting the infant, Earle Wayne

Captain Old about half completed his

THE JoHNsoM-euY AFFAIR.
COMMENT OF THE RICHMOND
TIMES ON THE FIGHT OF THE
rWO Y = }DES

In regard to the attack made upon
Major Johnson. assistant commandant
at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
by Guy. of Norfolk. at the Auditorium
in Richmond, as reported yesterday in
the NirSinian-p Pilot, the Richmond
Times Of yesterday had this to say:
An unfortunate affair occurred yes
tcrday AFTERNOON ut the Auditorium,
where the corps Of Cadets from the Viz
Sinia Polytechnic Institute are GUAR
tered. The trouble was between Major
Johnson, assistant commandment at the
v L. l., and a young man by the name
OF Guy. of Norfolk. 4 brother of young
Guy. who has been Il cadet ut the in
stiiute during the past year.
s7story Of the affair
as told by some CT the cadets present
at the time, 1t seems that Guy took
him serious blow under the chin with
Il pair OF knucks, INJECTING "A deep and
ugly cut. though not very serious one.
Cadets standing near Interviewed, and
further trouble was prevented.
NOT BADLY HURT.
Major Johnson's injury was dressed
at the Auditorium. and last night.
though suffering somewhat was on
duty.
Tho alleged cause of the trouble
seems to have been n Erudgc Cadc; Guy
neid against Major johnson. \ fhW
days ago Guy was discharged from the
Virginia Polytechnic for excess Of de-
merits. which were given for an Of
fence which Major Johnson reported.
Guy, 1t seems. held this against Major
johnson, and yesterday, when his
brother met him here in Richmond he
WAS told Of the trouble, ana. no doubt.
thought he would even things up.
NO ARREST.
No action was taken ut tho time
against Guy. but 1t was said by some
last night that Il warrant has been is
sued for his arrest.

GALL TO DEMOCRATS,
TO VOTE FOR CONSTITUTIONAL.
CONVENTION ON THE PATH


Captain w. w. Dey, acting for the
City Democratic Executive Committee.
of which he is the chairman. yester-
Jay issued the following call to Dem
ocrats:
Headquarters City Democratic EN-
ecutive Committee, Norfolk, Va, May
Ia, 1900-To the Democrats of Norfolk
City:
The Democratic convention, which
assembled here on May I'd declared by
large majority that it was the sense
OF the said convention that there should
be Constitutional Convention. That
question Will be submitted to the people
on May 2fth for their approval or disap-
prevail. The present Constitution was
framed by such gigantic men and minds
as Underwood, Bayne and other kindred
spirits. 1t is obsolete, antiquated and
unsuitec 10 the present condition OF af-
tairs. and it is an insult 10 the intel
liSencc, patriotism and the Democracy
OF Virginia TO contend that the great
people of the State are incapable OF
framing Constitution adapted TO our
wants and superior to the production
OF the shining lights of the days of re-
constructions
I'VE therefore call upon you. fellow
Democrats. 10 march in solid phalanX
to the polls on the day OF election and
cast your vote for the convention We
coHIidchuy DclleNc that the results of
such u convention will justify our eX-,
pcctation and make us proud of our
votes. This is II subject that calls for
the exercise cf our very best judy
mcnt, believing as we do that the flu
ture prosperity OF Virginia largely de-
Ponds upon the wisdom and the CON
certed action or the Constitutional Con-
vention This is the more Imperative
Now that it has been made a party
question. and will receive the COM
bined opposition Of all other parties

1t is evident that the skirts
OF dressy gowns, especially thin
ones, are to be very much trim
med with lace Insertions, inset
in various forms, for instance.
diamond squares of lace a
little distance apart or Joining
corners to form an edge. En-
broidery on the material is ex-
tremely elegant and expensive,
too, but just the thing for the
woman who need not count the
cost of her summer outfit. Wide
bands of the pique embroidered
with cream silk in very open
pattern extend down either side
OF the front and back, joining
on the hips liz deep point. and
a printed design is embroidered
all around the him. The belero
is OF the embroidered pique and
the bodice underneath with
sleeves to match is of fine white
sheer lawn tucked in groups
with morrow velenciennes inser-
ton between. A pink silk slip
is worn under this gown aud
the belt is of blue liberty satin
softly draped around the figure
A feature of skirt trimming
for soft mousseline gowns is
succession of stirred tucks
encircling the upper half of the
skirt. They are about a half
inch in width, fully an inch and
a half apart, and very slightly
shirred to avoid a thick effect.
Other thin skirts have a box
plat at the back covered the
entire length with a wide lace
insertion, WEIGH also encircles
| III ohll I III l"O vi I'LL &C IOWS,
beginning at either side of the
plat. A cluster of half inch
tucks meeting at the waist line
in frCnt and at the back, and
spreading out fan shape to the
knee, from the trimming on the
upper part of Il nuns yelling
skirt which is gathered very
slightly over the hips. a deep
founce set on with lace inser-
ton is the finish. This sort of
fOunCe, which is sometimes
shaped, and scantily plated,
and again straight and gathered
on, is somewhat on the order of
the old Spanish hounce, with
a more graceful swing.

SOME INTERESTING STATS
TICS

The statistics of population,
saloons and churches in the
Sunday ost-Dispatch, together
with the discussion by Father
Cotfey, DR.. Nichols and Mr..
Hogelaud, ought to interest
every Intelligent citizen of ST.
Louis.
There are 354 churches in st.
Louis and 1874 saloons.
The churches can seat $4,000
or little more than - per ceut
OF the ctty's population OF 6S7,-
900.
If everybody should want to
go to church, what 4 time the
ushers would have!
The salons can afford sitting
or standing room for 5000.
