when we heard a woman's screams
for help. We could also hear man j
shouts. Lieut. Andrews rushed out
with me exclaiming that there WAS
trouble over at Hams place. The
screams continued until we reached
the door.
We found Capt. Hams clutching his
Wife by the throat with one hand.
With his other band nc pressed re-
yolver against her head. She was
begging him not TO Kill her The cap
tain WAS tn rage and would have
killed his wife II Lieut.. Andrews had
not snatched the revolver away fro:n
him.
Mrs Hams was screaming:
My God, Pete. don't shoot. can
not die nov. Let go OF me-
Capt Hams fought with Lieut. An
drews anu yelled, Let me alone and
get out OF here. I'll finish her
Lieut. Andrews dragged Hams
away and walked him to the Andrews
house and kept him half an hour.
Lieut. Andrews went to Capt.
Cravens and Capt Gillmer and told
them the story OF how Hams had tried
10 Kill. his wife. and Hams was trans
ferred to Fort Hancock
When Lieut. Andrews disarmed
Capt. Hams the captain insisted on ex.
planning to him the reason for the
trouble.
This man Annis. who was my

sations made by Mrs. Claudia HainS
against her husband, Capt. +.
Hams, Jr., U. S. A., who shot and
sBilisd=Wnl. =E.=AnnIs,= FeYeeAthe=
tive OF the Bayside tragedy.
The nature OF these accusations be
camo known today, when dispatches
from Winthrop Highlands. Mass. the
home OF Mrs. Hams, gave the particu
lars OF a suit filed by the captaln's
wife against him. Papers in this suit
were served upon Capt Hams week
ago Monday, by the representatives OF
the wife's lawyer. The papers con
tain what is called complete history
OF his misdoings and the unusual in
ventory involves brother officers
Chas.- libby. father Mrs
Hams. who made 1t known that his
wife had filed the suit, placed the
blame for the killing OF Annis upon r
Jenkins Hams, the brother.
Grounds Date From Honeymoon.
Mrs. Hams alleges that the grounds
for the charges she brought date back
TO their honeymoon, when Capt
Hams was stationed at Fort Monroe
No names are mentioned, but other
details are not lacking in the charges
The accusations were dictated by
Mrs. Hams to her lawyer and after re
vision by her were made the basis OF
the suit
If the special grand jury and spe
cial judge requested OF Gov. Hughes
by District Attorney Darrin. oil
Queens county. are granted. the triaI
OF the case, so far as the prosecution
is concerned. may not last over two
days.
Demanded Satisfaction.
Pursuit OF definite purpose of re-
venge Is shown by the announcement
that Capt. Hams three times wrote &C
Annis demanding he should be given
satisfaction on the field OF honor. The
captains friends insist that Annis ig
nored all three requests for duel
The friends OF Annis are equally In
sistent that meeting places were
agreed upon, but Capt. Hams did not
keep the appointments.
Mr.. Libby is vigorous in the defense
of his daughters name. He said to-
day at his home in Winthrop High
lands:
My daughter came back to us on
June g The was few days after
she had been so cruelty beaten by her
husband In the presence OF his
brother Thornton.
There is no doubt II was Thorn
ton who worked upon his brother &
mind 10 such an extent that he finally
shot and killed Annis Thornton has
been the evil genius in this case from
its yery-otttset Before ever
the complete history of Thornton will
become public property and the world
will then learn what kind OF a man
he is.
IL want 70 say that the charges
Capt Haines has brought are entirely
without foundation"

NEW SPEED BOAT.

Messrs. Victor and Bruce Emer'On
have built Of The Emerson PamP Works
10 this city new motor boat, which, It
Is believed, will develop higher speed
than any other boat on the river. IL
has been constructed on hydroplsne
lines, the bow being scow-shaped. The
boat is ii feet, 10 inches long, with
tbree-feet beam. 1t has tbrae alright
compartments and seven bulkheads, and
is practically unsuitable. The engine
will develop from 10 to 20 horse power
The boat and fixtures apart from the
engine we're made in this city, and sll
who have examined it pronounce 1t g
fine specimen of the skill of Alexandra
mechanics. The boat will be launched
during the next few days.

NO RAIN.

ST Swithin's Day has come and gone
and with 1t vanished the hope OF the
superstitious for a rainy spell. According
t, the legend the drought willcoD tlnue for
40 days. Last year it rained on July 10
and a wet season followed. Yesterday
the skies were clear and the atmosphere
comparatively free from moisture. More
pleasant weather could not have been
desired. At tines the SUMS rays made
it little uncomfortable, but there wss
always breeze, and delightfully."- cool
one, from the north, which tempered
the heat. Early in the night the mer-
curry took decided drop, getting con-
siderarsbly below the 80 mark. AT noon
today it registered 81.

TIE RECENT POLICE COURT
DECISION.

As there seems to be q misundfr taud-
Ing as TO the nature and effect of the
receut decision OF the Police Court In
regard to the Law prohibiting the drain
age or water, ether than rain water, on
streets or alleys whsrsupon a sewer has
been constructursd, the following ac-
count of the facts of the case and the
ordinance under which the decision was
made will probably make the ms'" T
clear.
The ordinance under which the case
was heard was passed by the City Conn
ell Jsuusr, 26.h, 1904, and is ss follows;
q, ction /. Be 1t ordaintd by the O'tY
CounciI of xandris, Virginia, that
Il shall be unlawful for any person
arm or corporation to drain or ALLOW
tn be drained any house or bath
water, or any drainage except rain
water, either on any strett or alley
Ia this CITY where public saver has
been constructed, or may hereafter be
constructed, either on the street or In
the alley where the property occupied BY
said person, firm or corporation blnds.
A. penalty OF two dollars for each offense
Is provided. A resident of the city,
Who owns six houses on Queen street
between Columbus and Alfred streets,
was cited 10 appear TO show cause why
she should not be fined for allowing
water, other than rain water, 10 drain
from said houses upon Queen street. The
evidence was TO the effect that the de-
fsudant owned the houses In question,
but that they we're rented to tenants
and were not occupied by the owner;
that a sewer had been constructed on
the street 10 front of said houses; that
house. bath and dieh water was allowed
to drain over the sidewalk aud upon
Queen street; and that the water was al
lowed 10 be so drained by the tenants
and not the owner. The decision OF the
court was to the effect that this ordi-
nance prohibited occupants of houses
from draining water, other than rain
water, on severed streets; that the
owners of houses could not be fined for
offences committed by tenants, and that
owners could only be fined under this Or
finance when they occupied houses
rom which such prohibited drainage
Was allowed.
