EVIDENCE IN TIIE IYES CASE

Tcstimouy of the Colored Porter Who Took the C, II. Sz D. Books to New York. Attemptofthe Defense to Prove that Jnlitn Dexter Tried to Prevent the Witness from Taking the Stand Closing Argument New York, Sept. 23. The first witness in the Ives trial this moraine was James II. Wilson, the porter of the C., IL & D. railroad private car. The direct examination of the witness amounted to nothing. Upon cross-examination the witness stated that he had been in the employ of the road as porter of the officers private car for seven years, lie remembered leaving Cincinnati on June 19 with the officers of the company, with Ives, Staynor and Woodrntr, and were accompanied by Mrs. and Miss Staynor. The date was impressed on his mind because there had been a change of officers. Mrs. and Miss Staynor occupied the state-room. Woodruff told the porter that be would consign oome books to his (the witness's) special keeping to be delivered to Mr. Ives at his office on Nassau etreet. Witness took the books. When the parly reached New York, Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Staynor went away in a carriage and Ives and Woodruff: took a cab. Tho witness went back to Jersey City and brought over the books. He took them to the office at No. 25 Nassau street and waited there, until Ives and Woodruff reached there and handed over the books to them. The books were given him by Mr. Short, in Cincinnati, and no one saw them until thy were delivered in New York. He was told they were the books and seal of the company, but he did not wee them. By Mr. Brooke Was your pass to New Yor k canceled? "Yes. it was canceled at London, O., twenty-five miles from Colnmbus." "That is. during your journey here to testify to-day?" -Yes." mm a m A 1 - Mr. urooice, aaaressiug tno conn, sam: i evidence to show that the vice-president of the road, in consultation with Julius Dexter, cauceled the pass of the witness in orler to keep him from coming here. l?einember, I don't mean any reflection on the district attorney's office." By Colonel Fellows When did you learn you were wanted in New York? "Thursday night. 1 told the clerk I had received a telegram." Whom was it from?" Tt was signed by W. B. Wilson, an uncle of mine. I presume, whom I hav not seen since I -ras nine years of age. When I last heard from him he was in Arkansas." "And you did not think it strange that you should receive a telegram from your nncle in Arkansas telling you to come on to New York to ere your aunt, who was at the point of death!' "No." "While in Brooklyn didyonnot stop with Thomas Proctor, who is Mr. Ives's body servant?" "Yes." "Did he talk to you about him in court here?" "No, he did not." Lawyer Brooke started in to show, by a iinmlerof tolegrams, how certain people interested in the prosecution tried to induct; the witness to go back when they learned he had come here to testify in the Ivch case, instead of coming to see a sick aunt. One of tho telegrams he received from Woodruff, under date of the 9th iust., from Cincinnati, and read: lo James II. Wilson. care of Conductor No. : v Couie back to Cincinnati on firat train. Answer quick. M. D. Woodruff. One from Mr. McCrea, manager of the road, was dated at Pittsburg, and read: To Conductor No. 6: Fieae pass Janies H. Wil.on from Cincinnati to I'ittburg on C, II. & D.f on pecla! car. . J. McCbeV, General Manager. These dispatches were written on white paper, which showed that they had passed over the private wires of the company. Witness had a pass to 1'ittsbnrg. where he was to get another upon his arrival to bring him on to New York. When he reached that point he found none, oind was compelled to pay his fare. Witness read a message from Julius Dexter, asking why witness was going to New York. Colonel Fellows here read the telegram sent to Wilson in Cincinnati. It was dated New York, Sept, 19: To James It. Wilson, Cincinnati; Your amit lie at the point of death. Come here immediately. A juror remarked that the telegram, under the circumstances, was unjustifiable, but withdrew the remark soon after, saying that ho spoke on the spur of the moment. The defense rested, and Mr. Brooke rone tved his motion asking that the court order tho jury to acquit on the ground that the testimony of an accomplice was not admissible. This was denied. Then counsel movea to' have stricken from the evidence that part of Woodruff's evidence which related to the 21st of January. This was also denied, aud Mr. Brooke at once took un the task of addressing the jury. Mr. Brooke carefully and methodically went over the testimony as given at the trial. He appeared calm until he reached the name of Mr. Julius Dexter. Then came an outburst. It was geunine. too, for the " blood mantled the brow of the speaker aud now and then the veins actual I3' swelled as he poured out his invectives on the head of Dexter. "Ives picked up this scorpion," he fairly yelled, "out of tho snow and warmed him in his bosom. He gavo this friendless creature Dexter an interest in the road in order that he might qualify for a director, and purchased shares of stock for him." Mr. Brooke gathered strength of invective as he proceeded and his characterization of Dexter gTew into a phillipic that was most bitter. For two hours bespoke. The case will go to the jury to-morrow. Suicide of a Murderous Old 3Ian. Montague, Mich., Sept. 23. George .Doelle, for ten years night watchman at the Montague iron-works, left his worK, Sunday morning, slightly intoxicated, with the full purpose of killing his aged wife, hhe was not at home, so Doelle thought his step-daughter. Kate Klopf, aged twentv, would do. He asked her to look down a well, and then struck her twice with an ax, but failed to seriously wound her. An alarm was raised, and Marshal dinger went to the house, where ho found Doelle , imlin under tho cellar stairs, with a loug double-edged kuife in his hand. The quarters were small, and the Marshal's revolver was knocked out of his hands. Then commenced a lieree tdruirgle. during which dinger was stabbed over tho left eye, and in three places on his hand, and received a two-inch cut near the jugular vein. The Marshal's eyes filled with blood, but he was game, and finally at last choked his mau into submission, and dragged him to jaiL v w uuik evening, wncn the prisoner's supper was sent to him. he was found hanging by his neck from tho cell bars, dead, having committed suicide. Draw a Tension on a Dead Man's Name. Youngs-town, O., Sept. 20. A sensation was caused here to-night by tho arrest of George 2S. bwanston. a leading and wellknown attorney. The arrest was made at the instance of United States detective F. H. Pipes, of Washington, who charges Swanston with fraudulently collecting pension money by impersonating a dead man. It appears Swanstou secured a pension of &X) per quarter for Henrv Popo, in December, l$si. One year later Pope, died, bwanston continued to get his mail at a country postoffice, and by forging the names of witnesses ami Pope's, and as notary acknowledging the fame, continued to draw tho money for one year after Pope's death. The pension department learned of tho transaction through a onco friend of Swanston. who swore vengeance for a certain legal transaction, and an officer was sent here with the above result, bwanston was taken to Clevelaud to-night. The Switch Waa Turned Wrong. Chicago. Sept. 23.-A special east-bound stock train on the Northwestern railway ran into a passenger train which left hero at 10:20. last night, for Council Binds, over tbo Galena division. Tho pausenger was lying at a fiag station at the end of the double track, waiting for the stock train to pats. By some mischance the switch was turned wrong as the freight approached, and almost without warning the heavy ttock train crashed into tho passenger.

lioth engines were smashed, and the baggage, mail and Miioking cars were more or less damaged. The train men all escaped without injury, but two or three passengers received slight bruises, butnouo of a serious character. BELT-INSriCTION LAW KILLED.

An Opinion That Virtually Destroys Eecent Enactments of Several State Legislatures. St. Faul, Minn., Sept. 23. In tho United States Circuit Court here, this morning, Judge Nelson delivered an able and exhaustive opinion, holding the Minnesota meat-inspection law unconstitutional and void. He held that it was in plain violation of the commercial clause of the Constitution, which provides that Congress shall have control of commerce between tho States and with the Indian tribes. He also held that it was in violation of the clause of the Constitution which provides that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the previleges and immunities of the citizens of the several States. The case was argued at great length last week by W. H. Sanborn, for the petitioner, Henry K. Barber, who applied for his discbarge under a writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that this inspection law was void, and by ex-Attorney-general Cole and C. W. Bunn in support of the law. Tho court granted the petition and discharged Mr. Barber. This decision opens the State of Minnesota throughout to the sale of dressed beef from Chicago and Kansas City, and practically settles the validity of the law compelling inspection on the hoof, because there is no conrt, except the Supreme Court of the United States that has authority to reverse or overrule this decision, and it becomes the law of the land until it is reversed, and as an appeal could not be heard in the Supreme Court for from three to five years, and it is not at all probable that the decision of two so able jurists as Judges Blodgett and Nelson would ever bo reversed, it in effect kills tho Minnesota cattle-inspection law. Thirty Young People., Injured. Erie, Pa., Sept. 23. A party of thirty 3oung people went out into the couutry, yesterday, in a band wagon for a Sunday picnic. On their return, the driver, being under the influence of liquor, drove over a bank, throwing horses, wagon and party over a precipice forty feet in height. All were badly injured, but Patrick Flaherty, of Springheld, aud James Neyland, of Erie, were so badly crushed internally that they cannot live. The others received painful contusions and cuts but not broken bones. The driver, James Lewfs, was seriously injured. A Deadly Holt of Lightning. Wixona, Minu.r Sept. 23. Lichtning struck the house' of 'lyler Spaulding, at Pleasant Hill, at 8:30 Sunday night. One bolt went down tlw stovepiue and into the cellar. The other went off the stovo aud killed a girl six years old in her mother's lap. The lather was knocked senseless, but not seriously hurt. The lightning fetruck the mothers shoulder and ran down the leg and across the body of a girl thirteen years old. A boy of nine was unhurt. He was putting out tho fire when the father revived. The mother is not expected to live. The funeral of the girl took place at 2 P. M. to day. , A "Cake-Walk" KU Causes Murder. Culfeper, Va., Sept. 23. On the farm of Mr. Sam Jones, abont five miles from here, at a Saturday-night "cake-walk," at the house of James Fitzgerald, one of the negroes present kissed tho wife of Fitzgerald, whereupon the latter seized his gun and tired at his wife, the whole charge striking her in tho side, making a dreadful wound. She fell and expired in fifteen minutes. After committing tho deed, Fitzgerald coolly walked up stairs and went to bed. He was arrested and is now here in jaiL . Savage Fight in a Barn. OMAITA, Neb.. Sept. 23. Patsy Corrigan. a stone-cutter, and Steve Hill, a laborer. fought thirteen savage ronuds here in a barn, near bhot lower, last night, with two-ounce gloves. Hill was nearly ten pounds lighter than his adversary, but was much the quicker. lio got hrst blood, and by skillful work soon had the big mau exhausted, and finished him without difficulty bv terrific richt-hauders in tho jaw. Tho fight lasted abont an hour, and both men were fearfully punished. m a " Tito Hunters Drowned. Men'asha, Wis., Sept. 23. Wm. Miller, a married man. aged twenty-five, and Henry Schng, aged eighteen, were drowned near . . T 1 - tne ease snore ox lane wmneuago'soine time yesterday. They went out in a boat. on a hunting trip, in the morning, and. not returning, search was instituted. Miller's body was found near tho upturned boat, at Ked Banks.

A Contest Between Stockholders Over Its Possession Which May Signify Something. . The Citizen's , Streot-railrod Company evidently wants a straight line of road to Broad Hippie and would like to have it over the Sugar Flat gravel-road. This fact probably suggested itself to James H. Rice and Leon Bailey, and, from the railway's stand-point, these gentlemen appear to oc cupy the manger. The Sugar Flat gravel road is a continuation of Central atenue. Tho paid-up capital stock of tho road was $2,423, divided into shares of $25 each, but it is said that the total amount of stock authorized is $6,000. Messrs. Kice and Bailey secured thirty-three shares and E." M. Johnson, acting with them, had con tracted with the owner of sixteen additional shares for the purchase of which he paid the money, but the stock had never been transferred to him on the books. On the strength of tho contract for the purchase. Bailey and Kice voted the sixteen shares in question. The stockholders in the road and the street-car company, on the Other hand, had secured forty-eight shares, and Kice and Bailey supposed they had forty-nine shares, the maiority of the stock. At this etatroofthe game word got out that the gravel-road company's secretary had issued two more shares of stocK one to l nomas btoele, superintendent of tho street-car company. and one to II. U. Allen. attoruej' for that company. This created a great tow and rumpus, which is liono the loss when the report is made that instead of two shares thus issued the number is four, aud that they were not issued by tho secretary at all, but at a meeting of the board of directors, at which the president, Mr. Heiurichs, was present. These shares were ordered sold, as the road needed the money to make necessary repairs. The latest status of affairs indicates that the street-car company is in the lead, the distance between that company and the other would-be roadbuyers constantly widening. Itegl mental lteunlon. During the next few days several regimental reunions will beheld in this city. On Weduesday next tho Seventy-ninth Jtegiment will hold a reunion at the courthouse, the Fifty-first Regiment at tho residence of General Streiuht. cast of the city; the Fifty-fourth will also meet at the court-house on the same day.

AVIIAT DE RUITER HAS DONE

Democratic Members of the Board of Aldermen Go for Wool and Arebhorn. How the City's Money Has Been Spent in Street Repairs, and the Work That Has Keen Accomplished with It. Eight o'clock is the hour, but tho clock was on the stroke of 9 last night before six members of the Board of Aldermen could be got together to give audit and approval of the work done by the Common Council at its last meeting, The required number was obtained by sending out a special messen ger for Alderman Clark, attempts to com municate with Aldermen Tousey. Smith and Connett by telephono having failed to meet with any response. President Wright and Alderman Reynolds represented the Republican side of the house, while Messrs. Clark, Laut, Rail and Reinecke answered for tho opposition. Mr. Rail asked for the reading of a com munication that had been brought in by the street commissioner, in answer to an inquiry made regarding the expenditures of that department. The report was appended to a communication by the city clerk, which reported the total expenditures in the street commissioner's otiice to date as $42,152.65. ,The commissioner's report read as follower: TotLe President and Members of the Board of Al ciermen: Gentlemen At the reaucst of the city cleric, and ou instructions ot your honorable body, I submit the following renort of operations of tho rtreet comnjiteloner's department plnce the 1st January, with this statement, that the motion of your honorable body was so broad that It would be quite Impossible, with the clerical help that I have in my office, even If it wero possible to do 60, to make an exact answer to your request for the particular location of each separate item of work done in my department since January last; and if the following statement is not sufficiently full I can copy my pay-rolls and give a detailed account of the work done in my department, all of which, however, can be seen by inspection of tne books In the orace, whlh are open to all. First It will bo remembered that about two hundred miles ot streets, alleys and sidewalks were opened last year for the purpose of laying therein gas and water mains, being more than all of the mains combined heretofore laid in the eutire history of this city. The result was the throwing to the surface of enormous quantities of clay and gravel mixed, which could not be re packed in tuo trendies and or neceiiy naa to re hauled away, and through the fall and winter had spread all over, the streets and necessitated the removal thereof this rear. In order to do this I have caused to be scraped and hauled away from the streets and alley in this city about forty-rive thousand loads of street-scrapings since the first of January, and much of thihad become so packed on the bowlders and street surface generally, as to require Its being picked before it could be thrown together for removal. becond In order to fill up the bad places and chuck-holes In tho streets, I have caused about nve tnousanl loads of pravel to be bauled ana spread upod tho different streets of the city. - Third I have caused to be recovered a number of the bridges over rogue's run that were in a uangcrous coudition to travel, and have caused the entire surface of Poue's run bridge at Virginia avenue to be irecovored at an expense of $700. The stringers to said Virginia-avenue bridge had become so decayed as to cause the construction of entire new trestle-work under said bridge. One-half of Fall-creek bridge, on Indiana avenue, has also beeu recovered and re quired twenty thousand feet of oak plant. Fourth I have caused about one hundred carloads of broken stone to be used In repairing the streets ana making crossings on the outskirts in this city. Fifth Under instructions of the Council and board I have caused to be raised allot the flag stone crossings in the center of tho city and wherever needed in the outskirts of the city. hixth UDder your instructions I have laid C,32'J lineal feet of new flag-stone, at street and alley crossings, principally in tlie outskirts or the city, all of which havo been paid for out of money in my department. Seventh I have caused to be repaired or rebuilt almost all of the culverts in the city. Eighth I have caused to be made and set 150 new culverts in nelv places. lnth-l have caused to be plowed up and made anew several of the old gravel streets that were so badly worn as apparently to be impossi ble of repairing. Tenth I havo caused every bowldered street in thecitv, with the exception of South Illinois street, which I intend repairing in a few days, to do repaired witn bowlders. I will state that the above work has been distributed generally all over this cirr. It will be remembered that we have about four hundred miles of frtreets and alleys to bo taken care of, and considering tho extraordinarily bad condition the streets were in ou January last, owing to the laying of so many miles of gas mains therein, the high price of labor and the short hours of work, as fixed by law. and tho comparatively small amount of money at my disposal, I deem it a matteror congratulation that the streets of this city are in as good condition as they are now. l wm state runner, that for the rest of the year the expenditures in my department will bo very much less in peoportlon than for the previous rart of the year, tor the reason that tlie trreat bulk of the above work, so far as streotecraping was concerned, was done of necessity in the early part or te year, and that practically all of the enormous quantity of surplus clay and gravel from the gas-trenches has been removed, liespectfuliy submitted, D. DeKuitek, Etreet Commissioner. A xctiy large amount of sadness settled down on the Democratic side of the chamber when the reading of the report was over, while the Republicans smiled cheerfully, every one grasping tho fact that the report was one highly creditable to the oiucial making it, and furnishing no crumb of comfort for the euemy. Alderman Laut submitted the following, which was adopted: Moved, that tho city attorney be instrncted to examine the natural iras ordin ance with the view to ascertaining whether the natural cas companies can. under the law, collect pay of consumers three months in advance, and ho be instructed to report at the next meeting of the Board of Alder men. Aldermen Rail and Reynolds . were appointed by President Wright to represent the board on the committee to receive the representatives of the South American re publics on their visit to this city. Tho board then adjourned. AMUSEMENTS. ENGLISH'S OPERA-HOUSE "TIIE BURGLAR." The opening performance of The Burglar," at English's, last night, was witnessed by a large audience. Tho story is dramatic, and the play full of effective situations. An outline can be given in few words. William Lewis, a man of respectable connections and some attractive qualities, but bad principles, marries an amiable lady. He proves to be a burglar, though it is long before his wifo knows it. At a critical point in his career he is reported and believed to bo dead, and his wife, after a legal divorce, marries a former admirer, and, with the little child by his first marriage, they are happy. But her first husbaud is not dead. In pursuing his criminal career he enters, without knowing it, the house of tho man who has married his wife. There, at midnight, and while intent on thoughts of robbery, if not murder, ho encounters his little daughter. The interview between them is intensely dramatic, and fnll of natural feeling and pathetic touches. Tho husband enters and a stormy scene ensues, ending in the burglar's llight through the open window. The wife is ignorant of this visit, but learns of it later. In the last act the burglar, hunted by the police, again seks tho house of his former wife, whom he loves with the tender passion of a strong, bad man. and begs a last interview with her and his child. It is granted, and at its close, overcome with excitement and grief, he falls dead. This plot furnishes scope for some cltcclive scenes and strong acting. There is a subordinate plot, which is a romance ending in marriage between a young lawyer and a sister of Bill Lewis's wife. The leading part, that of the burglar, is taken by Mr. A. S. Lipman, well known here as a strong actor. He has evidently studied the character thoroughly, and looks and acts it with realistic force. All the other parts are well taken. Miss Sydney Armstrong, as Mrs. Lewis, the burglar's wife. and Miss Gladys Rankin, Drew as Fannie, her younger sister, both prodnced an excellent impression by their finished acting. Mr. Martitt as Paul Benton, the editor. Mr. Sidney Drew as Kdward Bambridge. tho law student a young comedian of exceptional talents, and Mr. Kveiham as John Hamilton, the retired merchant, were all entirely acceptable, while little Aimee Stoddard as Kdltha is a real infant phenomenon. The audi

ence last night was thoroughly pleased, and the play is goodfora week's attraction.

GRAND OPERA-HOUSE "FANTASMA." Hanlon's "Fantasma," which has stood the test of time as a public favorite in highclass and wholesomo divertiscmeuts, entered upon a week's presentation at the Grand, last night, with a successful and meritorious performance, before a fair house. Several innovations of sterling worth have been introduced. The scenic and mechanical effects are excellent, and new. and the tableaux are artistically arranged and beautiful under the changing calcium lights. New and exquisite costuming for the eutire troupe, which is one o tne largest traveling, is a pleasing feature. "Fantasma " which isnurelvasnectacular display, does not call for any special ettort in tho speaking apportionments. uui, wnaii uiaiogue is muuigou iu Is ably given. The gestures are appronriate.'and convev an ant illustration of dumb word-painting. Miss Rose Forte, as Fantasma. the Fairy uuen; William Hanlon, as . Farmer Close; Lugene O'Rourke. Rico, the clown: Louis Pizarello and Miss Ida Manzzy take the principal characters creditably. A. U. OrcutL tenor, and Miss i,milr rorthrup, 6oprano. gave some excellent vocal selections. The attractions will continue, the rest of the week with the usual mati nees. PARK THEATER rETE BAKER. The popular German dialect comedian, Pete Baker, opened a week's engagement at the Park Theater yesterday afternoon, presenting "The Emigrant." aThe same play was repeated last night, and the house was crowded, as usual, at both performances. Baker is one of tho cleverest comedians that comes to Indianapolis, and bis mays are always given in a pleasing manner. He is a good singer and his specialties pre of a character thiit never fail to meet with popular favor. The Emigrant' gives him wide scope for the introduction of a number of entertaining features, and as his company is a good ono throughout, the performances are highly commendable. MLNOR CITY MATTERS.

Mr. Williams is an old employe of the C, St L. & P. railroad, and is well known in Indianapolis. During an interview wit a the reporter ho stated as follows:"1 suffered for three years." said the gentleman, "from general debility, which camo on me gradually, until it had gained such a hold that at times I was incapacitated for work of any kind. "My entire system was broken down. I lost all color and it seemed as if my blood ad turned to water. I lost in weight until I almost became a skeleton; no matter how much rest I would take I would have a continual fe.eling of languidneas, having scarcely any ambition left. Severe pains existed all through my body, but principally in my back. My appetite failed me to such an extent that at times I would not cat what ono would call a hearty meal in two days. "VA MIL A. L. WILLIAMS. "My nerves were so unstrung that the least noise would make me tremble. It seemed as though I cared to do nothing but to remain in lxul the greater part of the time. At nights I could not sleep soundly, and for hours I would lie awake. "I tried innuperable doctors and all kinds of patent medicines I could hear of, but ! was invariably made worse by their treatment or use. I went to the mountains and the South for a change, but without any Lt month I was persuaded to try Gun Wa's Chinese Vegetable Remedies, and i ma to. i uiinly believe I saved my life by so doing. Shortly after commencing his treatment I began to improve, gaining blood and flesh, the languid feeling left me and my rest was more natural and refreshing.! "Day b day I gained in strength and was enabled to once again attend to my vocation. Since I commenced taking his treatment I havo not had any further care or trouble, and to-day I am almost fully recovered from one of tho worst attacks of nervous debility that any man was ever afflicted with and recovered from. I ata pleased to say that my recovery is due alone to the excellent treatment of Gnn Wa, and I recommend him to all of my friends, for he is a man that you can depend on what he tells you." Gun Wa is a Chinese physician, who cannot, under American laws, practice medicine;. he mills prepared Chinese Vegetable remedies for vaiious diseases. lie has been in Indianapolis for several months, duringwhich time he has effected bomany remarkable cures that his name will soon be a household word in Indiana.
