Alics loltz, at No. 113 East Lloyd street; whercar nrevioiis and at tho time of mid murder tho said Ma'y Michulski was present nnd in company with said deceased James Hopkins. Whereas tho said James Foltz en tered it 13 said residence soon after the dlscov-, cry of the murderous deed. That in the said promise were found two broken chairs, evidence of n struuRle preced ing tho final culmination of tho crime. The prlsorcrs referred to lu tho complaint were arrainged before the Justice and the in formation-was read to them, after which each I one was asked to plead and they responded Not guilty' .None of tbo accused was I represented by counsel. In pleading, each of tho accused made a I statement which was substantially tho same as those published in yesterday's issue of the ueuaii). with no now developments, how. lover, except that Mary Michulski I took occasion to say that she and Hopkins, Iwfore tho shooting, had talked of going to mo Asiiiami hospital to-day to sco the son of ber step sister, who was run over by a Trac tion car in town a few days ago, of a trip to Pottsville next month, and a trip to Atlantic City next summer. This statement is taken as evidence that Hopkins did not contemplate suicide Jacob Perkins, John McCord and George Smith, three youths, were the first witnesses. They testified that Mary Michulski called for them at tho Becker house, near tho seone of me snooting, ana begged of them to go for a doctor. a3a mau had shot himself at tbe Foltz house. Perkins said he first went to the latter placo and saw Hopkins on the floor with the' revolver on his chest. Michael Igo, Edward Kcster and Police man Michael G. Hurley wore the next wit nesses and added nothing now to the pub lications made in last night's issue of tho H Kit a LP, with tho exception that there was a diOereuco of opinion as to tho position in which the revolver was lying on Hopkins' cheat when they arrived upon the scene. Igo and Hurley agreed that tho body was lvlne with tho head to tho cast and the muzzle of tho revolver pointed towards tho rear door, or north. Kester agreed as to the position of the bouy.but insisted that tbe muzzle pointed towards tho frout door, or south. This testi mony was brought out to show that the posi tion oi me revolver iniucaico that It was used with the left aand if tbe case was ouo of suicido, whereas Hopkins could not readily use bis left hand. Edward WItchoy was called and repeated his statement that he left the Foltz house at 3:15 Sunday evening and parted in a friondly spirit witn iiopKins. The witness saw no trouble in tho house. WItchoy went home to supper, then to church, and then to bed at home. John M. Shadier, tho saddler, testified that James roltz was in his company from 7 un til about 0:25 p. m. ou Sunday, and could not have been at or near tbe scene of tho shoot ing. It is Foltz's custom to call upon Mr. Shaeffer every night, for orders as a driver for Neiswentcr and Shaeffer. Mrs. loltz asked permission to explain about tho two brokon chairs found In her house. She declared that both were broken before the night of tho shooting. Her hus band broke ono and tbe chair fell apart Sun day evening when she went to sit on it. The other chair was broken some time be fore by Mary Michulski and Sam Morgan, who was a frequenter of tbo house with a young man named James Botnoy. Morgan and Botney, she said, left for Chicago last Friday. After the hearing aud consultation with Deputy Coroner Burke and Chief of Police Murphy, Justice Shoemaker released all the witnesses on f50 bail in their own recognizance to appear at the inquest at 2 p. m. to-day. Mr. Foltz was released on similar conditions, nut Airs. ouz ana Mary Michulski were committed to tbe lockup to await the result of tbe inquest. Some of the authorities are severely criti cising Chief Burgess Tabor. They allege mat yesteraay morning he loanea his keys to tbe lockup to a friend, and tbe result was that several Poles and Lithuanians got into the lockup and coached tbe Michulski girl as to the story she should tell in relation to tbe shooting. Under direction of Denutr Coroner Burke Dr. W. N. Stein last night held a post-mortem on tne remains of the victim. The con elusion reached was that on entering the forehead tho bullet struck tbo frontal bone and glanced slightly to the left, passing through a small portion of tho brain, and Imbedded itself in the spheroid bone. Tho whole depth of the wound was an Inch and three-quarters. xne victim win ne uortea at ! p. m. on Thursday afternoon. The services will be bell at tbe family residence and tbe remains will bo interred in the Odd Fellows' cemetery. lhrugh a couvemtion last night it de veloped that the Hopkins case is not the first sbcotlng affair in which Mrs. Foltz lias ugureu. one was snot in tne breast in an affray at Shamokin about fifteen years ago llio particulars of the affair were not learned.

After a con- tost that will he memorable In the his tory of toe sonata tho oompromlsa army reorganization bill was pasacd last even ing at 7.10. When the senate convened Mr. Gorman, of Maryland, Insisted that bin amendment providing that the army should not be Increased permanently or beyond July 1, 1!X)1, be incorporated In the measure. For several hours It ap peared probable that bin Insistence at least would throw the bill over until today, nnd perhaps defeat It. An agree ment was reached finally, however, nnd Mr. Gorman s amendment in a slightly modified form wni accepted. The notable pecch of the day against the measure was delivered by Mr. Vest, of Missouri, hut his brilliant eloquence availed noth ing against the measure. The house was in session seven hours yesterday nnd sent to the scnute two more appropriation bills the army, which has been tinder consideration for several days, and the fortifications. The former earned about $ i !),000,UUU aud the atter approximately S-1,700,000. The final conference report on the Indian ap propriation bill was also adopted. J. he only amendment of Importance attached to the army bill was one giving two months extra pay to enlisted men in the regular army who served beyond the limits of the United States during the war with Spain, aud one month s extra pay to those who served in the United States. The discussion of the adminis tration's policy relative to the Philip pines, which has been occupying the at tention of the members to the exclusion of almost everything else during the con sideration of appropriation bills for the last two weeks, was continued, several speeches being made on the subject. Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, the leading Demo crat on the appropriations committee, asserted that the appropriations for this congress would reach ?1,GOO,000,000.
