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.

In the best temper.
One had charged the other with In

glan or to kill the llsfht altogether. 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. V'emllg and his crowd tried
their best to Job us but we would not
have It."

Drady, on the other hand, charged
that Julian flunked, and that lie would
not have agreed to anything, "except a

was prepared to tight any man In the
world on Nov. 11. Robert Fltzslmmons
preferred, the man to be named within
twenty-four hours.
Vendig announced that he would

SOMMF.US MUST l'AY.
Judge Archhald. 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.

Admiral KirKland's Troubles Origin
ate from Trivial Causes.
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. Admiral Sel
fridge's father, a, hale and hearty old
frentleman. more than four score and
ten. is rear admiral, Thomas O. Sel
frldge, sr. He has been on the retired
list for many years. If Admiral Kirk
land retlr-s at once Admiral Selfrldge
will change his acting rank for that of
actual rank.
