aaassajBaimBi SOUR ONJHE EARL, The EaMe Eager to Mob Him and the Aristocracy Dis gusted With Him. BOBERTS ON THE STAND. He Refutes All the Imputations in Connection With Himself. RUSSELL DENIES ALL CHARGES. Bis Tersion of the Various Quarrels Differs From His Wife's. BHE TSES OATIIS AND CIGAKETTES Loxdox, Dec a The mob which is watching the proceedings of Lady Btraell's suit for separation atpiinst Ecr degenerate spouse, are almost dj ins: with anxiety to lar hands upon him. They nearly suc ceeded yesterday, as was shown in these dispatches but they made their jraroe wary, so they got no chance at him to-day. Dunne the progress of the trial a large crowd of roughs hal cathercd-outside the law courts, and a regular mob surrounded the entrance, waiting for the Earl to ap pear. Much horseplay was indulged in by the crowd, and had they got an opportunity to get hold of the Karl, he, without doubt, w ould nave been a most unwilling partici pant in their sport. He had been warned, however, of the reception the mob pre pared to give him, and when the court ad journed he left the building by a side door. The crowd outside, when they learned that the Earl bad escaped them, were highly in dignant The Crowd Makes Odious Comparisons. The interest in the case shows not the least sign of abatement On the contrary, it may be said that on this, the third day of the proceedings, the general public display s more avidity to learn all the details of the erpose of the life of one of Great Britain's peers. On all sides comparisons are made between the present holder of the title of Earl Russell and bis great anccster, Lord John, and later Earl Russell, whose work in behalf of Great Britain and the British people is a matter of history. The feeling entertained for Earl Russell by the lower classes was amply shown by their treatment of him as he left the law courts yesterday, when the mob hooted at him, and some of the more hot-headed tried to strike him. There is no denying the fact that the gentlemen and ladies in the aristocratic circle to which the Earl be longs, also, look with contempt and disgust upon the noble Earl. Charged the Countess With Suppression. Sir Charles Ku.sell declared that the pe titioner, Countess Russell, had not only ex aggerated such facts as she had brought for ward, but had suppressed others which she thought would be detrimental to her claims. The quarrel between the Earl and Countess at the Albemarle Hotel was due, not to the Earl's compelling the Countess to act as a valet to mm, as tne uountess nan testined, but to the fact that the Earl had refuted to allow his wife to go to the Ascot races in the company of a man with whom he had every ground to forbid his wife associating. Immediately on the conclusion of Sir Charles Russell's address he called the first witness for the defense. The crowd in the court room looked about with curiosity when the name of this itness was called, and everybody was eager to get a look at the man to whom the Countess attributes much of her unbappiness. The witness was Prof. Roberts, the mathematical master at Bath, who was in the habit of staying fre quently at the residence of Earl RusselL The Man Roberts on the Stand. Prof. Roberts testified that he was friendly with the Earl at college. He after ward became acquainted with the Scott fam ily. After the marriage of the Earl and Lady Mabel Scott he visited them at their home. He had sung with the Countess and had thought her a charming hostess. The witness made a very emphatic denial of the actions imputed to him. Mr. Inderwick, of counsel for the Earl, here asked to be allowed to put in evidence letters that had passed between the Earl and Prof. Roberts to show the relations be tween them, and permission was granted. A thrill went through the audience when Earl Russell was called to take the stand in his own defense. The witness testified that he had never heard the slightest objection made to the presence of Prot. Roberts in the house. He (the witness) had objected to his wife going to a certain lady's house, basing his objection upon the fact that the lady was a divorcee. Countess Russell was very much put out bv his objection, and in the quarrel that fol lowed witness said to her, "If you say such things yon will soon be sorry you married me. The Countess replied, "So X am iorry." Did Not Make a Valet or Bis Wire. The Earl declared that he had never in sisted that the Countess should dress him. If she had not requested him to allow her to dress him he would not have let her do so. He was very much attached to her and had tried to make things pleasant for her. He objected to her going to Ascot, for the reason that there were several persons there whom he did not wish her to meet With reference to the charge that when the Countess on one occasion asked him for 25 he threw her half a sovereign, the Earl said it was not true. He was about to give her the money she had asked for when she said: "I don't "want yonr dirty money." It was not true that he made her turn out her pockets and took away from her what money she had. The Earl denied the Countess' statement that on the occasion when he had written a letter to his solicitor, complaining about her extravagance, he had treated her in a most brutal manner. He did not then shake her by the shoulders. She wanted a copv of the letter and tried to seize it Sue did get the letter, but he caught her by the wrists and took it away from her. She then boxed his ears. The Bedroom Fainting Scene. Sir Charles Russell drew from the Earl his version 6f the bedroom incident, when the Countess was found undressed and in a faint on the floor, as testified to bv her maid. The Conntess got out of bed and fainted on the floor. When she came to, he said, "How are you, darling?" She replied, "Don't you dare call me darling," and then threw & "soap-dish at him and made for him with a poker. She threatened to throw her self out of the window if he remained in the room with her. The Earl declared that the statements made by the Countess that he left her and went to Prof. Roberts bedroom, were ab solutely false. Once when his wife was hysterical, he had held her wrists to prevent her from tearing her dressing jacket to pieces. On returning to the Albemarle Hotel from the levee, he had rebuked the Countess because she had lunched with a divorcee. The Earl denied the cruelty to cats that had been attributed to him. The witness had never told his wife to plead the "Infant act," and by this means avoid paying her debts. On the contrary, he himself agreed to par her bill. He did not think hisjwife's health ornenes suffered during her married life. Ho Limited HerSnpp'y of Cigarettes. At this point Sir Edward Clarke, repre senting the Countess, asked the witness to give an instance of "unaccustomed re straint." The Earl replied that one in stance was his limiting his wife Jo six cigar ettes a day. He was "much annoyed, shortly, after his marriage, bv learning thai many of the Countess' debts were unpaid. Once a mil liner came to the house and made trouble. The Countess came to witness and asked him to get hef out, adding, "She's scream ing in the hall and I cannot get rid of her." The Earl stated that he had never kept his wife up in the night time making up his accounts. Once the Countess told him with an oath that he was sorrv she had married him. This closed the direct examination, and Sir Charles Russell handed the witness over to Sir Edward Clarke for cros-exam-ination. The Earl's testimony had been so spicy that the peoDle in the courtroom an ticipated much enjoyment from the ordeal he was about to undergo. Among the first questions put to the Earl was one which caused the audience to prick up their ears. Sir Edward referred to the Earl's conduct before his marriage, and in leply to it the'Earl admitted that before be married he was intimate with servants, but he said he had told Lady Mabel Scott, his fiancee, all the circum stances. The Earl's College Scrape. Sir Edward Clark went on a new tack by askintr: "Were you 'sent down' at Ox ford?" The Earl I was. Sir Edward What was the complaint against you? "The Earl That I had written an im proper letter. Sir Edward To a man or a woman? The Earl To a man, I suppose. I never saw the letter and never heard -what was in it. Sir Edward Do you mean to say von were 'sent down' on a complaint of which yon had no details? The Earl I never knew anv of the de tails. My college was Balliol. I left England for a time and went to America for seven months. I supposed the circum stances connected with my leaving college were known to my relations. Sir Charles Russell then proceeded to ex amine the witness. Earl Russell stated that Dr. Jcwett was Master of Balliol College while he was there. Having demanded, but being refused an examination into the char-re made against him in connection with the alleged improper letter, the witness had taken his name oft the books of the college.

SCOTTDAI.B, Dec a Rumors, so fre quently mentioned in newspapers since the disastrous coke region strike, have at last culminated in the dissatisfied cokers and miners leaving their organization almost in a body, to join their new order, the Fede rated Brotherhood of Coke "Workers of America, with its leader and organizer, B. D. Kerfoot Reports have been floating about the region for some time that the operators are contemplating a 10 per cent reduction in the wages of the men. In fact, an attempt of this kind was made a few days ago at the Stewart coke plant, near TJniontown, of the Stewart Iron Company, but without effect, the miners refusing a reduction. They would have gone out on a strike had not the demand been immediately withdrawn. The once famous organization, the United Mine Workers, is now practically a thing of the past Host all of its officers were re fused work and were compelled to leave the region. Others were sent to the workhouse, and what few are left have gone into busi ness of some kind. The old leader, Peter Wise, is the only one who is making any pretense of hanging on. His term of office expired last October, and the forces could not be rallied to bold a new election. A general conference was held here No vember 5.
