TESTIMONY THAT MELTS AWAY Various Scheme to Furnish Important Evidence Full Throuch in Every Instance-1 he Sensation of the liajr -Defense Closed. San Francisco. Oct. 21. The main caiiKf for Durant was closed this after noon, although his attorney asked to be permitted to put on one more witness tomorrow. Their first witness today was Charles Lenlhan. whom they at first attempted to show might have Ieen mistaken for Durant by Pawn broker Oppenhelm. The Idea of prov ing this seemed to have been aban doned today ami Durant's counsel sought to satisfy hemselves for having placed him on the stand. They tried to show that he had acce;vted a position with a witness for the prosecution ami that he had originally set the date of his visit to the pawnbroker betwven the 4fti ar.d loth of April as Durant's allotted vhl! had been, but now raid it was the 11th of April. Lenlhan ex plained by saying that he had received the position from nn old friend and that he had thought his visit was between the fourth and tenth until he Investi gated and found It to be on the thir teenth. On cross examination Lenlhan cre ated a sensation by stating that when he first visited the office of Durnn't's counsel he expressed fear that his be ing a w-itness might harm him. and the attorneys told him thev would K?t him a position In the heu'.th ollice. lie nad never gone back to get the position. The ring belonging to Miss Lamont which Durant Is alleged to have offered to Oppenhelm and the similar ring of fered by tenihan wa. shown to the wit ness and he had no difficulty In telling them apart. I.enlhan donned both his own Mat ami hat and thU worn by Durant for the benefit of the Jury. Lenlhan denied that he hud a mous tache when he vlslte.1 the otPce of Dur ant's counsel, or that he had ever had one. The witness the defense promises for tomorrow will testify as to his moustache. "Robert N. Lynch. Rev. Dr. Gibson's private secretary, was called and nsked about a conversation in the Emman uel church between the defendant's counsel and Mr. Gibson when the chisel, about which so much has been hinted, was found In the pator's study. The subrtance of thHs conversation was ruled out ard will have to be ohfained from Dr. Gibson. General Dickinson, of Durant's counsel, took the stand and testified that he had received a stran anonytrously through the mall which was very much tike the one Blanche lament used for her books and which was found with them bidden In the church. This strap had the doad g'rl's namf In printed lttfrs which Mr-. Dickinson snld Maud Lamint had Iden tflri as having belonged to her sister. The strep was offered In evidence. On referring to 'Maud Limont's tes timony it was found that she luid not identified cither the strap or the let tering as that of the dead girl. District Attorney Barnes then obnctcl fo the In troduction of the sfrap in evidence and the court took It under advisement. The Mvterloii rhlc1. The feature of the day was the af fidavit of Chirks II. Clark, the oom mer"!al traveler, which was taken In Boston. The defense said when Clark's nnme was first mentioned as a witness that he had seen Blanche Lamont on a Powell street car on the afternoon of April 3 with a man who wis not Durant. and that t'he man le't hr at Mark"t strt'j't. When the affidavit was read to day, however. Clark merely stated that he did not know eithfr Durant or Ulanche Lamont: that he had rrn a young lady, who looked like the news paper portraits of Mls I.amont. on the oar with an elderly man. and thai he had flnce learned that the date was not April 3. A. .T. Philips, who testified that he mw Durant come out of Oppciihim's pawn shofl, was recalled by the d feis? nod asked about his hotel, the Txmdon Harmony, in Victoria. He d"tild the Imputation that his house was disrep utable, and said members of parlia ment and the present premier were among his patrons. Dr. George O. McDonald testified as an expert that gas inhalation would have caused .the symptoms alleged to have been shown by Durant In the church the afternoon of th murder. The prosecution will begin Its rebuttal tomorrow. FIG IR IIS UPON MIN'IMj. A Taw Items lilenned from the Hcport of the Iiersrtmcnt of Internal Affairs. Hamlsbiirg. Pa., Oct. 51. The s'n tlfttlr of the mining regions, which will be included In the forthcoming report of the department of Internal affairs are now In the hands of the printer. The aggregate production of coal for 1Kft4 In the anthracite and bltunv'nous districts of Pennsylvan x Is S5.306;3V9 tons, a decrease of 5,25.072 tons from the production of IWi. This decrease was caused partly by the business depres sion and partly by a strike in the bi tuminous region that was In progress from April until August. The produc. .V.on of anthracite coal was 41,506 179 tons as against 47.179.563 tons In WX a reduction of 1.073.384 tons. The bi tuminous production was 39.300.210 tons, as against 41.421 .989 tons In 1S.t. a re duction of 3.621,179 tons. While the pro duction phows this great falling off, the total number of employes In and nhoul the mines has Increased. The number employed during 1894 was 226.S72, as against 219.S21 In 1893. an increase of 7,051. ' This seeming Incongruity can best be explained by the reduced number of days the mines were In operation dur ing 1894. In fhe Tiltumlnous region, where a Strike was In progress for sev eral months, and where the general de pression In all kinds of business caused . diminution In the coal production of 3.21.688 tons as compared with 1K3, The "hard times were felt to a greater degree than in the anthracite regions.

At the conclusion of the talk Martin Julian, Fltzslmmons' manager, said: "1 did all 1 could to make a fatls faotory arrangement, but tho Carbett people would not llsiten to reason. 1 offered to let Fitzslmmons light Cor- bett In private for the side bet, but they would not agree 'to it. They want ed a postponement to Nov, 11, which was merely ancr.'her way of saying that they did not want to fight at all. Of course, I declined to listen to the proKi Bltlon.

So Said in on Opinion llundeJ l wn Yesterday. Judge Archbald handed down an opinion yesterday In the case of the commonwealth against Joseph Sum mer s, and he sounds the warning rote that the courts of Lackawanna county do not propose to let go by default the matter of forfeited recognizances. In May, 1SU3, Bernard Jacobs and Jo Foph Summers, both of Old Forge town ship, were arrested for assault and bat tery upon 'the person of George Schlag er. They were also charged with rob bery. The grand Jury found true bills against both for assault and battery, and ngalnst Jacobs for larceny, not robbery. Hummers secured ball from some outside parties, and Immediately became Jacobs' bondsman. Justice of tlm Peace Andrew Doles, who gave them a hearing, fixed Jacobs' ball at $seo. They were not Itrled at the succeeding term of criminal court, because their cases could not bo reached, but they were both ready to stand trial. At the following term the cases were called, Hummers was there, but Jacobs was non est: and his ball was forfeited. A scire faci'as was Issued and Hommers applied for a rule to strike off the forfeiture. In his opinion Judge Archhald says that If hall Is not collected when the defendant evades trial, und betakes 'himself to somo unknown clime, then j the taking of ball Is nothing more or I less ithan a meaningless ceremony. He states that In this case the bail was 'excessive, nnd Nov. IK was fixed as the date of hearing argument In relation to making a more equitable approxima tion of the sum that Summers will have to pay. Summers was acquitted of assault and battery, when his case was tried, and the costs were equally divided be tween defendant and prosecutor. DIED tiOlXK TO CEMETERY.

HE CONGRATULATED MR. PAl'RE The Old Sailor Is Accused of Indiscretion In Commenting I'pon Persons and Affairs Heroism at the Mercy of Parvenu Authority. Washington, Oct. 21. Rear Admiral Kirkland, commanding the European naval station, was detached today on account of dissatisfaction with htm, arising from a number of causeB. Com modore Thomas i. Helfridge, Jr., has been detailed to succeed him. Admiral Klrkland's troubles arose from congra tulating President Faure, of France, on his election, which Secretary Her bert thought Improper and unnecessary; from making uncomplimentary re marks about American missionaries in Syria and Armenia, for an alleged in sult to a naval chaplain at the Kiel festivities and because of charges of general Indiscretion In commenting on .persons and nffaiiH. Admiral Kirkland sailed today from Gibraltar for Algiers In his flagship, the San Francisco. While the recall Is, of course, uncom plimentary to Admiral Kirkland. there Is no disposition at the department to belittle his record as a sailor. 'He is looked upon as a man of action and of MUlck perception, and always ready to do his duty. He was appointed to the navy from North Carolina In lKfiO and attained his present rank March 1 last. Armlral Kirkland has not long to serve on the active list, but it is. be lieved that he will apply for retirement without delay. It Is said that he had expressed an Intention of going on the retired list 4f relieved of his present duty. Through his assignment to the Euro pean station, (Yimmodore Helfridge be comes an anting rear admiral, and this fact brings about the unprecedented case, at least In the United States navy, where a father and a son attained the highest grade of the naval service dur ing the life time of both.
