NEW YORK. Dec. 2.--The trial of Col.

which has been going on for weeks at
the navy yard, ended today with the sum
ming up of the counsel for the accused
officer and of the Judge advocate. Mr..

Major Lauchheimer." said he. "ac-
cepted Colonel Meade's invitation. He
put his feet and legs under this mans
dining table, he took two drinks with
him. and then afterward. in report. had
the. effrontery to say that the coloners
conduct at the inspection which followed
was such that he believed he had been
drinking. He knew this as a fact, for he
had taken as many drinks himself, and
taken them as the colonels guest"
In regard to Colonel Denny, Mr. Semple
said he disclaimed for his client any
charge that he had been guilty of irregu-
lar financial transactions with the archi-
tect. But | do charge" said he. that
his conduct was scandalous to write to
the architect and secure reports from
him and his men to bolster UP his own
assertion that the colonel was intoxi-
Gated. That was rank collusion."
Judge Advocate Niblick denounced Mr.
Semple's summing up as an assault upon
the officers who had testified.
The trial was then declared closed. The
opinion is general that the accused officer
will be acquitted.

WHITE HOUSE FIRE ALARM.
The Precautions Taken to Protect
the Mansion.

II is fact rat generally known that
there are certain fire alarm boxes
regarded in the department as spe-
the districts where these boxes are
located is turned in the mon at
the desk IN the fire houses give spe-
eial attention to ascertain whether one
Of them is struck. They are all what is
termed -four engine boxes, which means
that under all circumstances four en-
giHes respond, and the greatest speed is
required in - ro1chlng the scene of the
fire.
One of these i,oxes is at the Execu-
tive MansionS ar; is No 157 Another
is No. 162, at the National Theatre. The
third is in Woodward & Lothrop's store
at the correr of Eleventh and G Streets.
The fourth is at the navy yard. No. 52S
and the last at the Government Print
ing Office. No 624
With the exception of the White House
these locations are regarded as especially
dangerous for a fire to break out, and
the preeautiOn of having four engines re
pair TO the place on all calls is taken in
order to have sufficient force on hand
TO cope with the flames.
The Executive Mansion being the home
of the President and his family. the four
engine box is maintained there SO as to
give him the greatest possible means CT
protection from chance conla grafton.
Besides this the White House is fitted
out with considerable fire apparatus 10
be Used by the policemen and others on
duty there before the Fire Department
arrives.
Fortunately no fire has occurred at the
Executive Mansion, but in case the old
building should take fire it is thought
that it could not gain any headway against
the measures Of precauuon taken for its
safety.

VANDAL STEALS
SACRED RELICS.
SHRINES IN A CHURCH ROBBED.
Gold ChaIices and Ornaments Dam
aged and Acts of Dissertation
COmmitted-Perpe He
Iieyed to He Insane.

FALL RIVER. Mass. Dec 1.-The mem
bers of St. Anne's parish. and in fact the
entire colony of French Catholics of the
city, are exercised over the loss of two
valuable relics stolen last night from the
church on South Main Street.
The perpetrator of the deed destroyed
many sacred articles and damaged the
gold chalices and ornaments Consecrated
waters were crushed beneath his foot.
Relics Were Priced.
The two relics removed were priced very
highly, not because of the intrinsic value
but because OF the associations. One, the
original relic of St Anne was a small
piece of bone, which was received about
year ago. The other was a piece of
bone from the right forearm of the patron
saint of the parish.
1t cost $4,000 and was brought to this
country from France last summer. 1t was
installed with great pomp, Canadian Cath
olics coming from many parts TO witness
the ceremony. 1t was kept in a small
shrine of gold.
The case, which required the efforts of
four men to lift was smashed and the
bone removed. The glass in the case was
made in France at a cost of $500, and it
was broken into pieces
Relieved to lie Insane.
The belief is that the robbery was the
work of man insane or nearly so, as he
preferred the relics to the chalices and
ornaments of gold that could have been
easily removed and later turned into cash.

sToRTI TO BE ELEcTRoCUTED.
Supreme Court Decides Death Pen-
atty Not Cruel or Unusual.

The Supreme Court yesterday decided
that Luigi Storti, an Italian, convicted in
Boston of numbering fellow country
man. should pay the death penalty for his
crime and ordered the issuance of
mandate affirming the sentence OF the
trial court.
The case has been before the Supreme
Court before on objections raised by
Storti's counsel. In the appeal decided
yesterday there was raised the question
whether or not execution by electricity
was a cruel and unusual method Of
punishment. The court having already
passed on that question in previous cases.
says that any other objections raised by
Storti were frivolous and dismissed the
appeal.
Chief Justice Fuller announced a re-
cess of the Supreme Court of the United
States from next Monday, after the hand
ing down of decisions on that day, until

takes a recess of four weeks in Febru
