Murder Trial,

The case of Howard Banks, colorsd,
indicted lsst Friday for the murder Oh
the night previous of Thomas Elzey, al
40 colored, was called tor trial IN the
Corporation Court this moraing. Forty
six tslesman hsd been summoned from
which to secure a jury, thirty-five Of
whom were present. Banks was repre-
sented by Messrs. Mscheu q Moncure,
while Common weslth's Attorney Samuel
G. Brent appeared for the State, as
sisted by Mr.. R. D. Brumbsck. The
court room was crowded when the case
was called, large majority of the spec
tators beiog colored men and women.
After the case had been lied, Mr.. L.
III. Machen, for the defense, moved for
a continuance of the case, on the ground
that he had been compelled to be away
from home attending to other legal mat
ters, that be had been very busy prepsr-
ing some cases in which he was counsel
which are to come up in the Circuit
Court for Alexandria county next week
and that he bad not had time to give the
case the attentiOn it demanded.
fhe court overruled the motion, hold
ing that he had given time sufficient
when, last Friday, he set the case for
trial today. Mr.. Machen then withdrew
from the case, as did also Mr.. K. q. l..
Moncure, his partner aud associate coun'
sci.
This caused a little stir in the court
room. but the delay in the proceedings
was short, as Judge Barley assigned
Messrs. Machen g. Moncure to defend
the prisoner.
A recess was then taken in order that
the prisoners counsel might prepare
their sfidavits for record.
Messrs. Machen and Moncure soon
presented afidavits to the court setting
forth that they bad not bad time to pre-
rare for the case and that the prisoner is
able to employ other counsel, and again
asked that the case be continued. The
court again overruled the motion for a
continuance and The securing OF jury
was then commenced.
Shortly after o'clock recess was
taken until 2.
Court met again at 2 o'clock when the
selection OF jury was resumed and in
in less than an hour jury was secured
consisting of Messrs. f. Didszoneit, jr. /;
NJ. Jsffs, NJ. Rosenfeld, Sidney Wolf
berg, J. w. ID. Parker, Wythe Whyte,
G. A. Nagel, Geo. Bender, w. Il. Peck,
Carroll May, w. P. Kerrck and Harvey
w. Summers.
Mr.. Brumback then made the open
ing statement for the prosecution and
was followed by Mr.. Machen for the de-
tense. Mr.. Machen was speaking at
3:45 O'Clock when this report closed.

music for the patrons; that there had
beer difficulty in the house on tne
afternoon preceding the night OF the
shooting aud that message had been re-
ceiyed at the station house announcing
the fact: that on that occasion the trouble
had been started by mulatto girl sitting
10 colored mans lap. Other omcers
testified on the same lines, while some
alleged that the scenes 10 the saloon
referred to were on the same order OF
those in other places in the northeastern
section of the city where colored people
male and female, gather. Ofhcer heu'
derson's testimony was to the erect ina,

to enter the place he went In WIN Ills

Mr.. Carlin asked that the court dis
charge the accused, and alleged that the
saloon conducted by his client should De
no more objectioual than others in the
neighborhood, intimsting that jealousy
on the part of those keeping similar
public houses seemed to be apparent.
Justice Cston, in summing up the
Case, said there was no law, State or
city, imposing fine on the proprietor
of a public house in which disorderly
proceedings occur. His license, how
ever, could be revoked. The Corpora
ton Court in granting liquor licenses
did so with the express understanding
that there should be no rooms attached
to saloons for the use OF women, no
music and that the patrons should be
kept moving. The justice said ne would
dismiss the warrant charging disorderly
conduct, but would lay the evidence
against the house before the Judge of the
Corporation Court who could punish the
offender by revokipg the license II he
deemed proper.

Old Papers.

this Office with a number Of copies of
the "Local News" published in the
Gazette building from October 7, 1851,
until February 10, 1862, when the office
was burned by United States soldiers
The object of the publishers OF the
Local News. WAS to keep a record Of
the happenings in this city and neigh
borhood during the civil war. A synop-
sis of general events was also published
daily. A perusal Of these papers affords
interesting reading to Alexandriaus who
were living at the time. A list of the
city officers with VIM. 3. Price as Mayor,
who we're elected in March, 1861, ap-
pears in one of the papers. The names
of those who succeeded them November
20, 1851, with Lewis Mckenzie, as
Mayor, are also given. 1t is believed that
every one who was a city Official at that
time has paid the debt of nature.

The Steamboat Tie-up

The striking captains and the manage.
ment Of the Baltimore, Chesapeake and
Atlantic and Maryland, Delaware and
Virginia steamboat lines are still at log
gerheads, but indications point, many
think, to a settlement in the near fu-
ture.
Captain Thomson wrote a letter last
night, 10 which be outlined his position
and states why he does not care to do
business with the association, which, he
says, is the main question of the contro-
versy.
Two meetings were held by the cap.
taius. At the morning one the letter OF
Captain Thomas to the effect that be
would see the captains and not require
them to sever their connection with any
association to confer with him was read.
No action was taken. The attitude OF
the companies is that the burden OF the
responsibility now rests on the men for
not acting upon the letter.

The present owners OF the saloon So
well as Mr. John d. Normoyle, real es-
tate broker, soOn became interested In
Hummel,
The matter was taken up with some
nf the trustees of Alexandria Lodge of

to give $l2, 600 for the place, but de-
INJURED when Sl4,0 wss mentioned.
Meantime Hummel ran short of ready

evening and little later Mr. John
Riley gave him 1875 on a similar piece
of paper. The checks were drawn on the
Commercial National Bank, of Roches-
ter, n Y.
Riley & Spinks and the Messrs. Ram

found Humme had suddenly vanished.
He was supposed to be asleep in room

some manner.
kilograms we're sent to Rochester
