THE BRAVE SEA FIGHTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. ~
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans,
"Fighting Bob" to an admiring ma
tion, died suddenly late yesterday at
his home in this city, Acute indiges'
ton ended the career of one OF the
most popular officers in the navy. He
was i'll less than two hours.
Admiral Evans, born s. years ago
in Floyd County, Va arose yesterday
apparently in better health and spirits
than he had enjoyed in some time.
For years a sufferer from old wounds
sustained in the civil war, and from
recurent attacks of rheumatic gcut,
the aged fighter seemed to have
shaken off the burden Of his advanc-
ing days. He displayed high spirits
at breakfast and ate a hearty lunch
con at noon.
While in his library at . o'clock
the admiral was stricken. Instantly
his family sent for Dr.. S. S. Adams,
who, on his arrival, found the patient
in great pain, After treatment Ad-
miral Evans fell into restless sleep
and it was thought that the danger
had passed. Shortly after 4 o'clock,
however, he awakened and raising
himself with difficulty, announced
that he was choking.
Conscious to End.
81 cannot get my breath" he said,
and sank back. At 4:45 O'Clock he
died, conscious to the end.
AT his bedside at the time OF his
death we're his wife, his daughter,
Mrs. H. |. Sewall, and his daughter
in.law, Mrs. Frank T. Evans, wife OF
the admraPs only son, lieutenant
commander in the navy. now on duty
on the torpedo boat destroyer Mona
han, at Boston. The only other mem

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Trading was not very active at the
meeting of the stock exchange today,
but as such has been the rule for sew
eral days, the lack of a market was not
attributed entirely to the Saturday holi-
day spirit. The small attendance of
brokers was playfully accounted for as
an object lesson for those who are OPP
posed to adding June to the summer
months when no sessions are held Satur-
day.
Slight trading was done On the trac-
ton stocks at the current level. and
while nothing was done in gas stock
the quotations were renewed with prac-
tically no change.
The bid for the stock of the Union
Savings Bank was raised to $50, while
the asking price was 800. One lot of

Prosecuting Attorney Held to Rigid
Rules in Murder Trial.

ERIE, Pa, May 1S.-After three days
of effort jury to try John Nj. Andrews
on the charge of killing Emil Amann in
Warren, was finally obtained and the
prosecution has opened the case against
the accused, whose trial was transferred
here from Warren.
The district attorney managed only to
lay the groundwork of his case against
Andrews, being hampered by the in
sistence Of James Scarlet. of the defense.
that he should confine himself to the
rules laid down by the supreme court,
which ordered a new trial. The prosecu-
ton was denied the privilege of alleging
probable motive, and was forced to con-
tent itself with Offering testimony to the
effect that Amann was killed, and that
suicide was out Of the question.
Andrews declares that he will be &C.
quilted, and that all the evidence that
can be offered against him is purely cir
cumstantial
