The fleruelesa Carriage in Europe. A timely and interesting report comes to the State Department from U. S. Consul Trhomas Ewing Moore at Weimar, Germany, on the subject of the horseless carrtage in Eur'ape. Thin report Is a compact history of the development of this modern vehicle, and it is well illustrated with the latest types of the "Autocars," now moat used In Europe, Including omnibuses, trlcyoles and bicycles, all Rropeiled by the power of petroleum or bensine.

For one thing, the report shows that America Is icr behind Europe, not so much, perhaps, in the invention of workable devices of this kInd as in the use of them, for already they are so common In France as no longer to frighten horses en country roads, and in the towns they are used by the hotels, physicians and others find it economical to have at commanei a vehicle hich Is always ready for tnstarit use, requires no feeding and no attention when not used.

Laura Buckner, the colored woman who threw a solution of concentrated lye in the face of Sergt. John- C. Daley and Policeman Greer on the 21st of June, when the officers raided the woman's alleged "speak-easy," was placed on trial in the Police Court this afternoon, charged with keeping an unlicensed bar. The woman lives at No. 630 Delaware avenue southwest and on Sunday, the date charged, Sergeant Daley went there and made the raid.

He had no warrant for the woman's arrest, and according to his notions, he thought he needed none, for he claims he caught her In the act of violating the law, and, therefore, no warrant was necessary. During the time the officers were In the house permitting the woman to get on her hat and arrange her household affairs she mixed the lye in hot water and threw it on the officers. Their faces were frightfully burned, as printed In The Star at the time, but fortunately they had presence of mind enough to close their eyes and save their eyesight. But they had such good medical treatment that their faces are not much scarred. Lawyers Closs and Pugh, for the defense.

entered a plea of not guilty, and the court and jury listened to opening arguments on each side. In his opening Mr. Closs said he thought the testimony would show that the woman was innocent. He expected further that the proof would show that the of1cers In citizens' clothes broke in the window of the woman's house. In short, he said the woman was a victim of mob violence.

Sergeant Daley's Story. The witresses on both sides were separated and Sergt. Daley was first examined. He testified that on the Sunday charged he got that the defendant was violating the law, he went there with six officers. When the house was reached witness rapped on the door, and Mrs.

Buckner called, 4'Come'in." Witness opened the door and entered, and as he did so he saw the defendant waiting on a man. She had a bottle in her hand. Witness then described the assault committed on h'an. While he was in there she ran to the kitchen and got the red seal lye which she threw on him. "I object to this testimony about the alleged assault." said Lawyer Closs.

"It has nothing to do with the charge of selling liquor." "Yes. it Judge Miller. "He may tell everything that happened there at the time of the arrest." "He had no warrant for her, anyhow," added Mr. Closs, "and she had a right to kill him." Judge miler's Sharp Rebuke. "Don't get that Idea into your head," said the court, with some feeling.

"Some time ago in court somebody said something about the right to kill this very man, and this is the result of it." "We'll hang them as fast as they kill, and hang them as high as Haman," the judge added. "Well, he had no warrant, and had no right in the house," said -'ounsel. "We want no more education of these people about murdering officers," resumed the court. "They are bad enough anyway. The law of the land is sufficient, and when there are any killings there will be hangings." Witness produced the bottle which he said the woman had in her hand at the time of the raid.

On cross-examination witness said some of the liquor was spilled during the time of the raid. Policeman Greer jumped through the window and there were other officers in the rear. In addition to the bottle of whisky there was a bottle of gin found in the place. P'olicemen Testify. Policeman Baur was next sworn and asked if he knew anything of the sale of liquors by the defendant, and he replied that he did not.

He was in the raiding party, and saw the bottle of whisky. It was handed to him by Sergeant Daley. PolicE'man Muller testified that on the day of the raid he got a number of whisky bottles from Mrs. Buckner's house. "Did you go through the window on that trip?" witness was asked on cross-examination.

"I did not." was his answer. "What did you find in the house in the way of intoxicants?" "Four bottles of beer." Witness said he knew nothing of the sales of liquor by the defendant, but had heard of complaints abouit her. "Do you know where Henderson is?" "What Henderson?" "The man who gave Sergt. Daley the information." "I know a Henderson, but I don't know that he gave Sergt. Daley any Information." Swore They Bought Whisky.

Thomas Bowie, colored, a neighbor of the defendant's, testified that he was in Mrs. Buckrner's place on the day of the raid, and he was also in there on a previous occasion, The first time he was there Morton Chandler treated him to two drinks. "What did you get on the 21st?" "I got four drinks for myself and four for a friend." "Who was the "Sam McCoy." "What did you "Whisky." He said woman in the house waited on him and he paid her 5 cents a drink for the liquor. On cross-examination witness said he had been arrested four times, once for an assault on Policeman Mulvey. Witness did not know the name of the woman to whom he paid the money, He was in the back room when he got the drinks.

A policeman came thrrough the back window and broke out the sash. The officers who came In from the rear got in ahead of Sergt. Daley. Wallace Carter, edered, who said he vias not acquainted with the defendant, but knew here by sight, testified that he was In her place a short while before the raid was made. "How did you happen to go there?" "When I was walking out for pleasure and wanted anything I went in there and got it." "What did you want?" "Whisky." "And did you get it?" "Yes, sir," He said he paid 5 cents a drink for what he got.

William Bush, colored, was called, but he denied that he had ever bought 'any liquor from- the defendant. He had been there and sent out to a saloon for beer. Blowie's Testimony Denied. This closed the case for the District and the witnesses for the defense were sworn. Morton Chandler, colored, was first sworn, and he denied that he was ever in the defendant's pisce with the witness Bowie.

He said Bowie told him It was a good way to make $1.25. Bowie was called and he repeated his former testimony. "You are mistaken," said Chandler, "I never took you to her Butler, colored, sister of the defendant, testified to the circumstances of the raid. Witness had lived there with her sister for a long time, but lNad never seen her sell any liquor. All the people in the house dring liquor, she she bought a half pint the night before the raid.

When the police came there her sister, the defendant, had a bottle of whisky In her hand. Annie Thompson, colored, told the court and jury that she visits Mrs. Buckner three or four times a day, She knows that Mrs. Buckner drinks beer an( whisky, but she never knew her to sell any liquor. Laura Buekner's Defense.

The defendant testified that she had been in jail since the day of her arrest. She was In service for a long time, but lately she had earned her livbig taking in washing. When the raid was made she said she had a bottle of whisky and a glass in her hands The offieers, who were in citiseins' clothes, broke in her window. She claimed that cne of the offteers kieked her.

"Was that aftcr you had thrown the lye or before?" "It was after she had thrown It," said Lawyer Closs. "She had defended herself against the men who had arrested her in her own house and a warrant. And she had a right to do it." Defendant said she was not acquainted with all. the witnesses who had given evidence against her. Lawyer Closs said he would liked to have had McCoy in court, but Sergt.

Daley said he had been unable to find him. "He works at Ford's brick yard," said Sergt Daley, "but he was not at work this morning, and had not been at home last night." Mr. Pugh had a written statement of McCory's taken some days ago, but this was not admitted. Tnii closed the case, and counsel proceeded with their arguments. MYSTERIES OF THE MURDERS.

Discussing the Tragedy of the Herbert Fuller. HALIFAX, N. July crowds that have surrounded the police station here since yesterday, when the crew of the murder-freighter Herbert Fuller were taken into custody, were to be seen there again early, this morning and during the forenoon. The excitement prevalent yesterday showed no signs of lessening. The prisoners are still closely guarded and the chief inferest today seemed to be in regard to the result of the coroner's Inquest and the disposition of the victims of the murderous sailor.

It was expected that the medical examiner would present his report this morning, but it was not finished. Consequently the examination before the city stipendiary, which will doubtless follow the receIpt of the report, was not held. There seems to a growing belief others besides the mate, who is the one chiefly suspected of being the murderer, must be implicated in the affair, and from incidents that have come to light since yesterday, the possibility that a well-matured plan to seize the schooner and sell it to -the Cubans had been completed before the vessel sailed from Boston seems well founded. It has been learned that Monks, the. passenger on board the Herbert Fuller, received a direct Intimation that he had better not make his proposed trip on that vessel, but whether or not the warning came from the mate Is not positively known.

There are many, on the other hand, who think that the triple murder was merely the of a drunken attempt to assault the wife of the captain, which involved the killing of her husband, her protector, and the second mate, who must hate been a witness of the captain's murder, and then the killing of the woman herself, to cover up the crime. HELD UNDER ARREST. Prisoners at Halifax, According to Conisul Ingrahama's Report. Acting Secretary Rockhill of the State Department has received a telegram from Consul Ingraham at Halifax announcing the arrival at that port of the barkentine Herbtrt Fuller and asking for Instructions as to the disposition of the persons held under arrest. The consul gives no details of the crime committed aboard the vessel.

His telegram was referred to the Departmeat of Justice for advice as to the prgper legal course to pursue. If possible, the suspected criminals will be brought to the United States on the first vessel clearing for an American port, perhaps the Fuller herself being utilized for this purpose If her owners will provide her with new officers and crew. The effort will be made in this manner save recourse to extradition proceedings, but if the government insists course the usual forms must be followed and the tedious proceedings incident to the surrender of the suspects under extradition warrants gone through with. Meantime, Consul Ingraham has been telegraphed to collect and forward at the earliest moment all evidence procurable toucliing the crime for the use of the Department of Justice.

secretary, to take all proper action to induce President Cleveland to commute the sentence of Alexander Burrell, better known as "Punk" Burrell. Burrell is confined in the District jail, sentenced to be hanged next November, for the murder of Quincy Mackall, during a fight on the Navy Yard bridge several months ago.
