1893. Will Lizzie Be Farced to Take the Witness Slaad. SURPRISES FOR THE PROSECUTION. If the TMtimony at Inquest if Admitted Today Then the GoveroBimt Beoroi a Kg Taat liaie Boofht Pcint Burned Other PeoMeu- tion Thus Far Have a Very Weak flurpriwi in Loath. NEW BEDFOKD, June were commenced this morning on the admission of the evidence of zieBor- den as given at the inquest, and by tonight it will be decided whether the government go sailing along with free sheets or pull up close hauled for a long and tedious trip.

If the court decides to admit the notes of the stenographic reports in Lizzie Bdrden's'testimony at the inquest, the government will feel superlatively happy. It is believed, and with reason, that upon Ibis testimony the government largely relies, and while in the event of its being allowed Lizzie must necessarily take the stand to refute the statements made at that time under pressure or to tell her story under totally different circumstances. It is felt that should the jury hear those first statements nothing which can be said at tliui day can counteract theinfluence of the previous work. In conversation with Mr. Moody he showed that he wns firmly that the argument the prosecution lorthe admission of the testimony would prevail.

On the other hand, counsel for the defense is equally confident that the testimony will be excluded. In this case Lizzie After a Day of Funerals the Coroner an Inquest. June remains of he dead victims of the horrible wreck of ord's theater Friday have nearly all been disposed of. Washington has U-en a city if funerals, and mourners have gone about he streets. Every one knew what the sad processions meant.

Inquiry confirms the statement that none of the victims were men of property. Most of them lived on heir salaries, which furnished means of ivelihood. but left little for such a day. Most of them were married and some had arge families, who are now left, if not en irely dependent upon friends and relatives, at least lacking in funds for immediate use. Much of the talk upon the disaster is low of relief measures, and the circulators if subscription papers in the departments and the Washington neivspapers in their fforts to gather funds for the relief of the victims and their families are meeting rith success to degree that does credit to he benevolence of the citizens.

One notable fact is the growth of the eeling of resentrnent on the part, of the mhlic against the persons responsible lor wreck. In advance of the verdict of he coroner's jury and of the findings of he court of inquiry ordered by the war tle- lartment, there is no general agreement ipon this point, and the public are rather ndiscriminately condemning everybody who had anything to do with the control if the wrecked building, from congress to the very laborers who were digging in the cellar when the crash came. The injured in Friday's catastrophe now the hospitals are, with the exception of wo, in a fair way to recover. The serious cases are those of J. P.

Mc- xormack of Wisconsin and Frank Metcalf Massachusetts. Deputy Coroner Shaffer is engaged in lolding the inquest. He has subpoenaed several witnesses, and it is his intention to secure all the eyewitnesses to the affair hat he can. Those who will be examined oday are W. T.

It is hinted that the will phow conclusively vhat Lizzie iBorden purchased some paint a few days Tbelore the murder, and that it was not an thing to burn dresses in the IBorden household. The fact that the girl burned the dress in rtbe da.vlight, when officers surrounded the house, will also be related to show there was not the slightest attempt at conceal- The defendant's do not at- to diKRuise their joyful feelings be- of the present status of the case, and the girl's friends here are jubilant.

As they came by the Cole- lan building and as there still remained ontideraWe time they went inside, sev- ral of them being acquainted, and sat' owu fora time.

Forma of July. Tomorrow three weeks is Fourth of July, the celebration of wbicb seems to be a dead movement in this city. Big preparations are being made iu most every city and town in the State, for the holding of immense parades, Is it not strange that Lebanon, with iU many patriotic societies allows such an important occasiou to pass by without even making an effort to follow in tho wake of other less favored cities than ours?

One price to all. june8-tf BACCALAUREATE SERMON. OS. WEAVER FREACHZ8 TO STUDEHTS OF LEBiSOJf VALLEY COLLSOE. Origin, Ethics and Triumphs" the Thome ot a Powerful and Impressive Discourse.

Yesterday morning Bishop Weaver preached tbe baccalaureate sermou in tbe chapel of Lebanon Valley college. The day was a delightful one, and although the suu's rays were rather hot, there was a cool breeze in the chapel wbich made it pleasant and comfortable. To heighten the beauty and attraction, on the platform were arranged a number of beautiful Sowers and plants, so that everything conspired to make tbe services interesting and enjoyable as well. The college choir sang an excellent anthem, wbicb they rendered in good taste. Tbe voices of the singers were well modulated and they sang with expressioa.

The opening aervices -yere of the customary character and appropriate to tbe occasion. After President Beirman had made bis announcements for tbe coming week he introduced Bishop Weaver, who vho for one hour held bis hearers spell- bonnd. Bishop Weaver is now 74 years of age, and the tall, massive form that rears ago was straight as an arrow is beginning to become bent with the weight of years, and the long, flowing locks of hair are as white as snow, like the almond tree in blossom. Bst while his physical body gives signs of failure and decay his mental powers are undinjinished, and in his soul burns tbe fire of true eloquence as sis eujprteand I. Corinthians, "For jFtnnst reigu, till- be bath put all mies under bis feet." The theme vnosen was: "ChrfstUnityr" its origiu, ethics and triumphs." Vast and comprehensive as wss the subject, thespeaV.

er, nevertheless, covered the entire ground and brought forth old truths and new with a power and vividness of portrayal that impressed them upon the minds of bis hearers. He raid in tbe ont start that he had nothing new to- present. for, said he, "the crowning glory of Christiaaity is that it was perfect, complete at its beginning; nothing more can be added to it; new troths are being dis covered and interpreted, but the religion of Jesns Christ was perfect as God himself is perfeot." Then followed a mas- terfnl refutation of the theories sometimes advanced that Christianity is a human invention, or that it has been evolved ont of other systems that ex isted before it. His description of the grand achievements of Christianity and its wonderful triumphs wss truly inspiring. The speaker's closing words to tbe graduating class were especially fitting and impressive and were spoken in a zeal and earnestness as of one having authority.

ATgmnsiit Heard in tas Cel.brated of tlis Jacksonville Key We.t Bailrosd- The Philadelphia Lawysrs Tina it Diffleult to Zssp Cool During the Hot Wsatter- Ihs Case of Ifr. Boosrt H. Colsmaa Against Young Again Fully Ssviswsd. The Philadelphia "Press" yesterday gave a full account of the case heard In the Court of that city on Saturday between Robert H. Colemau and Young in connection with the Jacksonville Key West railroad.

As the case is fully re viewed it will be of general interest to our readers and we, therefore, give it as sale of bonds prevented, as their market, price wonld fluctuate and Mr. Coleman has already suffored enough through the transactions. reported by the "Press." 8tron 8 es giants of Kica-uba tbe local bar bad a lively tilt yesterday Common Pleas Court No. 3, where they were mutually interested as counsel In the argument of an important railroad suit, involving a large snm of money. The first incident was a statement made by one lawyer intimating that tbe other one was lying, and this was replied to by some stinging sarcasms which filled almost every one in the court room with suppressed laughter.

The spicy remarks were made by John G. Johnson on the one hand and Wayne MoVeagh on tho other. Tbe action related to a Southern railroad deal. Last fall Mason Young of New York city, receiver of the Jacksonville, Tampa Key West railway company, of Florida, filed a bill in equity against Robert d. Coleman, the millionaire mine operator of Cornwall.

Lebanon county; Henry P. Kendall, Lebanon, and James A Freeman, auctioneer of his city. Receiver Young alleged that Mr. Jolemsin, who was formerly president of he railway company, was indebted to he railway company for a snm of mousy equal to or exceeding $400,000 by caus- ng the railway company to issue obliga- settlement of a debt ol the Flor- di Construction company, ic wbich Mr Coleman was also heavily interested. It was further alleged, that, by a manipa- itionoftho affairs of the railway Mr.

Coleman gained possession aud claimed ownership in certain bonds of the railway company which he was about to liace on the market through the firm of freeman and that Mr. Coleman bad in his possession nearly the whole of a issue of bonds which he claimed he could nse for his own pur poses. The Court was asked to order an accounting, ami to prevent the sale of hese bonds. Meanwhile Mr. Young had deposed from tbe receivership in Florida.

James H. Burkee has been mbstltuted as receiver, and given leave bo proceed la the litigation. JDST IX THE NICK OF TIME. Upon tho allegations of the bill in iquity the court issued an injunction restraining Freeman Co. trom selline VH WUl'tn of tHfe bonffg; the court issuing the writ about ten minntes efore tho sale wiis advertised-to place.

Tbe matter came before the conrt yesterday on motion to dissolve- tbe in- unction. The receivers were represented A. H. Wintersteen and Wayne Mao Veagb, while tbe defendants had Frank Pritobarxt and John G. Johnson as mnael.

Ic appears that Mr. Coleman recently lecided to travel abroad for several years regain his health, so he executed a rawer of attorney creating Henry P. fendall, of Lebanon, his attorney fact to represent him. Mr. MaeVeagh ilaimed that Mr.

Colemau was no party tbe proceedings, but that the motion to dissolve the injunction was made on behalf of Mr. Kendall. THE WE PASSED. Tbe first spicy incident of the hearing was when Lawyer Johnson intimated in he course of his remarks that "Mr. MaeVeagh has led this court to infer that Ur.

Coleman left the country nnder unpleasant circumstances." In an instant Mr. MaeVeagh was on his 'eet, and in a belligerent tone replied: "The man that says that lies." "Here, here, gentlemen, go on with your argument," hurriedly interrupted court, but iu spite of the command It was some time before the excitement the crowded court room subsided. Mr. MacVeahh then detailed the poiuts of this case, and Mr. Pritchard followed him by reading several affidavits which comprised Mr.

Coleman's defense. These averments were in brief that the Jacksonville, Tampa Key west Railway Corn- piny had been forrred by joining several lesser railway lines against which several construction companies who had built the road had heavy claims for their work. To meet its indebtedness the Jacksonville Railway Company issued a number of notes, secured by its own bonds as collateral, and indorsed by Mr. Mason Young, and Another Mr. Yonng of New York city.

These notes were placed with several large banks and trust companies in the North and heavy loans procured npon them, they becoming chiefly valuable owing to their indorsers Meanwhile Mr. Yonng filed a bill in equity in the United States Conrt in the Northern District of Florida alleging that there were certain contracts in existence between tbe Jacksonville Railway Company and Florida Construction Company which bad never been settled, and tbe Court was asked to order an accounting, but meanwhile to appoint a receiver for the road. MR. JOHSSOJi'S SARCASM. Mr.

Johnson in his argument claimed that this was a deliberate attempt to wreck tbe road. "It was a case," he said among other things, "where 'man proposes and the devil I wonld use tbe proper quotation." the went on, "but I am afraid that if I did so tbe charges made in this bill are of such a character that tbe higher powers might think them blasphemy and strike their perpetrators with lightning." Continuing, Mr. Johnson said that snch was tbe stench arising from the circumstances accompanying the filing of the bill in equitj in the District Conrt in Florida that an appeal was taken to the local Conrt of Appeals, where Mr. Yonng was promptly deposed, and when the case was carried to the United States Supreme Conrt the ruling of the lower conrt was npbeld. Meanwhile the notes endorsed by Mr.

Coleman and the Youngs fell due and were renewed by similar notes. When the road went into the hands of a receiver the banks bolding the notes demanded payment. The Youngs conld not pay, so Mr. Coleman was foreed to mortgage bis valuable ore lands at Cornwall and pay the notes with cash thru realized. In this manner he eame into possession ot the together with the large blocks of bonds which accompanied them as secnrity.

All of tbe bonds in suit, his counsel alleged, with tbe exception of some $25,000 worth which Mr. Coleman bad given to secure a debt of the Florida Construction Company by the consent of the Board of Directors of the railway company, had thus come legally into Mr. Coleman's hands and that be was entitled to place them on the market. On the other hand, it would be a great hardship If the injunction wai continued and the VERY ONS WHO WANTS to buy 01 soil or rent; everybody who nos lose anythin. mid wants to ttuii It, or uuncl somethinb and looking for the owner; everyone who to reacli tun public on ubject.

Coleraan's character; andL continuing, remarked "that we all hopet to God that Mr. Coleman may return re. stored in health to enjoy a.long life of prosperity and happiness." At the end of Mr. MaoVeagh'a speech Mr. Johnson arose to reply and tall and massive figure seemed to gain in inches as he vigorously replied to tha legations of the deponent, emphasizing his gestures with a large palm leaf faa that be was using to oool himself.

A good part of his argument was (o nnderv mine the theory that tbe receiver ol road bad any standing at all in the proceeding; and in referring to Mr. Mao- "'J eagh's hopes recarding Mr. welfare, he remarked that Mr. MaoVetgk was very dexterous In jumping irom omy side of the fence to the other. At tbe conclusion of the argument tho Court took the papers aud held the mat.
