At o'clock Father Trinkhaus called at tie jail, and Berry seemed to be greatly pleased with his cominif. The priest re-cnaiued about twenty minutes with the prisoner, and told him that he would be pack to accompany him to the scaffold. It "was.

Gn the priest's departure that Berry's nerve or bravado showed the first sign of vvavtring. His breakfast wa3 brought into tee ceh about 9 o'clock, and it was a tempting repast of beefsteak, sausage and vggs. t.erry looked at the food a moment and then began to eat, but certainly not with keen relish. He stopped suddenly end. thanking the keeper, said he had finished.

This sudden stoppage may have Veen dne to the fact that a messenger jast arrived had brought a suit of new clothes. In which the prisoner was to be han-red.

CASE SUDDENLY TERMINATED Verdict Of The Jury Rendered By Consent, Sustaining: The Validity Of The Document. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

Belair, June 16. The case of Caroline H. Stanley and others against the Safe Deposit and Trust Company, of Baltimore, involving the validity of the will of the late Joseph Cox, of Baltimore City, was terminated by an agreement between the contestants this morning. The jury were requested by the plaintiffs to find their verdict for the defendant upon all the issues joined, which was so entered and finally establishes the will. By the terms of the agreement the plain-tiffs are to receive ten thousand dollars from the corpus of the' personal estate of the testator within 10 days and when the will of Mr.

Cox Is finally admitted to probate by the Orphans Court of Baltimore County. Each side is to pay Its own costs. The appraised value of the estate was about 138,000, and it was conceded that some of the stocks had appreciated since the appraisement was made. Joseph Cox died December 14, 1S96, a widower, without children. He spent many years traveling abroad, but lived for some time prior to his death at 923 St.

Paul street, in Baltimore City. By his will he bequeathed the bulk of the estate to Mrs. Charlotte Lindsay, his sister-in-law. The will was contested by Mrs. James G.

Stanley and other relatives of Cox. At the conclusion of the testimony of Dr. J. Holme Smith, which occupied the greater part of Thursday, the evidence of the Misses Mary and Sarah Stanley was taken as tending to show the relations existing between them and their mother, one of the plaintiffs, and Mr. Joseph Cox, the testator.

The evidence of these young ladies was to the effect that their relations were always most cordial and friendly and so continued up to the time of Mr. Cox's death. Dr. Smith had testified that he treated Mr. Cox from the 19th of October until the 10th of November, 1896, at which time Mr.

Cox went to Philadelphia to consult physicians there. Upon his return from Philadelphia Dr. Smith resumed his attendance and so continued until Mr. Cox's death in December. Mr.

Cox was suffering from, an affection of the bladder, which Dr. Smith regarded as serious, although he did not tell Mr. Cox In so many words that he was suffering from Bright's disease. There was also some enlargement of the prostate gland, which caused irritation in the bladder, resulting in the pains complained of by Mr. Cox.

The failure. ol the organs to secrete properly resulted in the retention in the system of materials which caused uraemic poisoning, the symptoms of which might be illusions, delusions, hallucinations or partial or full coma. James Tomlin, now a waiter at the Car-Tollton Hotel, and formerly of Barnum's Hotel, Baltimore, was called to prove the fact that Mr. William H. Cox, a brother of the testator, committed suicide at Barnum's Hotel in 1SS6.

The witness was the last man who saw Mr. William Cox alive and the first to see him after his death, which was caused by shooting himself fn the The witness knew Mr. William Cox from 1868 until he committed suicide; he was always gentlemanly, but a short time before his death became changed in his conduct, and would lock himself in his room, and could be heard talking to himself in a loud voice as though Impersonating an actor; witness had met him on the street talking to himself. John Corduroy, who was also a waiter at Barnum's Hotel, was called and testified substantially as James Tomlin did. Dr.

Dodge, of the Conrad Sanatorium at Relay Station, was called and produced the register of that institution which showed the admission on March 2, 1886, of William H. Cox, then suffering from suicidal, melancholia of indefinite frequency of attack, and that William H. Cox was discharged improved from the institution April 10, 1SS6. The purpose of the Introduction was to show an inherited tendency to melancholia In the testator, Mr. Joseph Cox.

Edith O'Brien, colored, was called and testified that she had lived with Mrs. Caroline C. Hooper, the aunt cf Mr. Joseph Cox, for nine years. Mr.

Cox frequently called at the house; he was eccentric at timos: he was very ready in conversation, but would sometimes wander in his talk. After the testimony of the witness O'Brien, the deposition of Mrs. Marie S. Briggs, taken at Narragansett Pier, N. June 7, under a commission Issued for that purpose, was offered in evidence and the direct examination of the witness was read to the jury by Mr.

Thomas R. Clendinen, of the counsel for the plaintiffs. Mrs. Briggs was formerly Marie Sibyl and was for many years the maid of Mrs. Cox and accompanied Mr.

and Mrs. Cox on their travels abroad. After Mrs. Cox's death she took charge of the house and managed the home for Mr. Cox.

She testified that Mr. Cox made a number of trips to Europe and spent considerable of his time in Paris; that during his last trip he was very much worried about his health and complained of severe pains in his back. A month or so before his death he would imagine he was in Paris at a hotel, and wanted to change his quarters as he said he was not suited. While at Narragansett Pier the August before he died he complained of pains in his back, but was not confined to his bed. Dr.

Smith was called to attend him on October 19. In two weeks all pointed instruments were removed from his room. About eight days before he died he did not know the witness but took her for someone else. It seemed that Mrs. Lindsay's visits worried him very much; she could not say whether it was hers alone, or whether generally he wanted to be alone.

He traveled abroad a good deal, but seemed to have some liking for his own country. They always avoided the noises In Baltimore when possible. Mrs. Lindsay wrote letters to Mr. Cox, which were given to Mrs.

Briggs to read. Witness did not know where those letters were now. Mrs. Briggs, the witness, knew that Mr. Cox had made a provision for her in his will.

Mr. Harry Hall came to see Mr. Cox during his illness. The feeling between them seemed to be friendly. She was told a great deal of their family affairs by Mr.

and Mrs. Cox, but there might be others more familiar with them. Dr. James Ward Scott Dead. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

St. Marts, W. June 16. It looked for a time late last night as if a riot was inevitable and the greatest excitement prevailed. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt.

The trouble was all over a negro's presence in the city. From time immemorial it has been an unwritten law that no negro could reside in the city. In fact, until recently there has been but one colored citizen in the county. Ten days ago C. E.

Edwards, of Philadelphia, opened a strictly metropolitan cafe In the new Barkwill Building, and he secured a negro chef. Since his advent here he has been harassed continually. Several times during the week unknown parties have, under cover of darkness, stoned the kitchen. Last night they repeated their practices and one of the crowd became more bold and attempted to enter the kitchen with a club. Edwards checked his onslaught by a well-directed blow with his fist.

The man fled down the alley and in a remarkably short time 200 people had assembled about the place. The presence of the mayor, who addressed the angry crowd, and police had a quieting tendency and the crowd was dispersedt but further demonstrations are feared." An injunction was served on C. H. White, agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at this point this morning, restraining and prohibiting the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, John K. Cowen and Oscar G.

Murray, the receivers of the road, from building a new bridge on the old piers of the Baltimore and bridge extending from Benwood to Bellaire, or from repairing the present bridge unless by permission of the chief engineer of the United States Army and the Secretary of War. The bill alleges that the present bridge now across the Ohio river, between Ben-wood and Bellaire, is a hindrance to navigation, in that the largest span is only 322 feet in length, whereas the navigation law requires tbe main span to be at least 500 feet In length.

The preliminary hearing of Harry M. Anderson, John and Thomas Morrison, the three young men of this city who have been in jail here since June 6, on the charge of robbing Charles Cooper, of Hampshire county, West Virginia, did not take place today, but was postponed until tomorrow morning. The prisoners were brought before Justice D. H. Bragonler but Mr.

E. Holmes Boyd, of the prosecution, read in court the statement made in today's Baltimore Sun from Richmond that Governor Tyler, of Virginia, would grant the requisition papers today. The Sun's article, strengthened by a telegram from Governor Tyler to Sheriff James A. Monroe, of Hampshire county, were submitted to che Court and a continuance asked for until tomorrow. The court granted this and tbe men were remanded to jail.

The prosecution are endeavoring to have the requisition papers arrive here before the hearing can take place. Later Mr. R. E. Byrd and Mr.

W. L. Mc-Cann, counsel for the prisoners, appeared before Judge Thomas W. Harrison, In the Circuit Court, and obtained a writ of habeas corpus returnable tomorrow. In the event of the requisition papers arriving prior to the time set for the hearing there is considerable difference of opinion as to which order would have precedence that of the Governor granting the requisition or a decision of a judge that the men are entitled to a hearing here before delivering them up to the authorities of another State.

DEATH OF CAPT. J. N. BARNEY Served With Credit In Federal And Confederate Navies. Special Dlspatdh to the Baltimore Sun.

Fredericksburg, June 16. Capt. Joseph Nicholson Barney died this evening at his home here after an illness of 30 days, aged 81 years. He was born In Baltimore and was a son of Hon. John Barney, who served in Congress in the '40s, and grandson of Commodore Joshua Barney, of the United States Navy, for whom one of the Government gunboats now being built at Bath, Maine, was named.

Captain Barney entered the Naval Academy at Annapolis, in 1832 and graduated In 1835 at the head of his class. From that time until .1861 he served afloat, visiting all parts of the world. the beginning of the Civil War, while in the Mediterranean on the steamship Susquehanna, he resigned and came South. He commanded the Confederate ship Jamestown in the battle of Hampton Roads and cut out a Federal schooner close under the guns of the Monitor, and upon his return with his prize in tow he was cheered for the brave act by the crews of the foreign vessels present. After the evacuation of Norfolk the Jamestown was sunk at Drury's Bluff.

Her guns, however, were the main factors in defeating the Monitor and Galena in the attack on Richmond, and for this Captain Barney received the thanks of the Confederate Congress. Captain Barney successfully commanded the Harriet Lane in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Florida at Brest, France. For more than twenty years he had been In active business in this city and up to 30 days ago was at his office daily. He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church. He married Miss Fannie S.

R. H. Claggett at Springfield, Judge Lloyd On Admitting Insley And Cannon To Bail. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Cambridge, June 16.

Today John Layfield was examined for the State in the Insley-Cannon habeas corpus case, but his testimony added nothing to that already brought out in the matter of the shooting of Bain Webster by the fishery force officers. At the conclusion of the testimony Mr. Pattison stated that the counsel for the defense would submit the case without argument. Mr. Tull stated that the prosecution would agree to the same course.

Judge Lloyd, in rendering his decision, said that his personal opinion or his opinion as judge as to the guilt or innocence of the parties would have nothing to do with his decision, as the question he had to decide was whether Insley and Cannon could be admitted to bail. These officers were appointed by the State, and while assigned to duty in certain waters they had as much right to make arrests in one place as another, their duties differing in this respect from those of a constable or sheriff. While there seemed to be some doubt as to the merits of the case so far as the actual shooting was concerned, there was no doubt of the fact that the Websters failed to comply with the officers' command to surrender, as all of the State's witnesses concurred In stating that fact. In pursuing the Websters and firing the shots, which either went in front of their boat or took effect in their sails, Insley evinced only a desire to prevent their escape, as he did not fire directly at Bain Webster even when taunted by the latter. The right of the officer to use his weapon when necessary cannot be questioned, else the officer would have no more right to bear weapons than have other people.

If, however, they misuse their weapons, they are amenable to the law as much as any other people. In this case and in every case It is the duty of the person arrested to submit, and. if maliciously or wrongfully arrested his recourse is a civil suit for damages. Any other method of proceedure would make every man the Judge of his own case and lead to dethronement of the law. In conclusion Judge Lloyd said that the most he could see in the case was manslaughter and that he would hold each of the men under bond and $1,000 for their sureties for the action of the Somerset authorities.

Messrs. Eugene Croche-ron, Henry W. Elliott and Edward S. Phillips went on the bond of the officers who were released from the custody of the Dorchester officials. A Barn Burned.

THE MESSAGE OF PEACE BY JULIA WARD HOWE. In 1SC2 Mrs. Julia Ward Howe stirred the nation with her famous "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Thirty-seven years later, at 80 years of age, Mrs. Howe throws the weight of her influence as strongly in favor of peace as in the former days she made it count for war. She has spoken publicly in Boston In behalf of universal peace, and now she addresses a still larger audience in a poem written for the Sunday-School Times.

Bid the din of battle cease! Folded be the wings of fire! Let your courage conquer peace Every gentle heart's desire. Let the crimson flood retreat! Blended In the arc of love, Let the flags of nations meet; Bind the raven, loose the dove. At the altar that we raise King and kaiser may bow down; Warrior-knights above their bays Wear the sacred olive crown. Blinding passicn is subdued. Men discern their common birth, God hath made of kindred blood All the peoples of the earth.

High and holy are the gifts He has lavished on the race Hope that quickens, prayer that lifts, Honor's meed and beauty's grace. As in Heaven's bright face we look, Let our kindling souls expand; Let us pledge, on Nature's book, Heart to heart, and hand to hand. For the glory that we saw In the battle-flag unfurled. Let us read Christ's better law: Fellowship for all the world Alleged Unseaworthiness. Samuel M.

Lawder Sons, fruit commission merchants, instituted suit In the United States District Court yesterday, by George Whitelock, attorney, against the schooner Maud Seward, claiming $1,500 damages to cargo from alleged unseaworthiness of the schooner. It Is alleged that the schooner was chartered by the libelants to proceed to the Bahamas and after they had loaded her with a general cargo on May 1899, she proceeded down the Patapsco and Chesapeake to the mouth of the Potomac, where she began to leak, thereby damaging the cargo. The libel alleged that the leak was caused by the ship's not being stanch and tight at the time she sailed from the port of Baltimore. A Consignment Of TIn-Plate.

At about that time the steamers of the Atlantic Transport Line went from London to Swansea to take in cargoes of tin-plate for Baltimore.

formerly a lieutenant in the United States Navy. He Is related to Gen. William T. Shermart. Robert Y.

Rhea, of Kentucky, son of Dr. Rhea, was also successful. Reexaminations will take place tomorrow for those who failed. self. It was 10 o'clock when Sheriff Kobey, accompanied by Deputies James R.

Tigh, A. B. Suit and J. II. Clark, entered the jail yard.

This was the signal for a crowd outside, numbering several hundred persons, tc make a rush for the entrance. They were prevented from entering, however, by the Sheriff, who, after admitting the tepresjfntatives of the press, closed the gate, telling those in waiting that they wav.ld be let in at a proper time. Fathers Trinkhans and Gardiner, the latter from White Marsh parish, again came to the jail, where they began their final preparation for the prisoner's death. Berry snteted both of the priests cordially when they entered his cell, and in a few moments afterward was engaged in spiritual exercises. He sat on the side of the cot.

folding a large crucifix in his hand as the priest talked with him. While thus engaged the outer gate of the jail was opened, and those holding cards of admission began to flock into the yard. The aioise made by the crowd reached the pris- oner's ears and somewhat distracted his attention. At 10.20 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Tigh. accompanied by Deputy J.

H. Clark, notified the prisoner that his time was up. While the officers were securing liis arms the prisoner's knees struck together violently, and he gave evidence of "being nearly in a stage of collapse. When the work of binding him was completed, the procession started for the gallows, Fathers Trlnkhacs and Gardiner leading the way, followed by the prisoner, who accompanied by Deputies Tigh and Clark, with Deputy H. X.

Moran bringing cp the rear. As Berry stepped out into the yard, he Taitered for an instant as his eyes rested on the crowd that surrounded the scaffold. In an instant he turned his looks toward the scaffold. In that second he seemed to take a complete survey of the Instrument of death, and then, with a fairly steady tread, ascended the steps unaided and took his position on the trap. i Deputy Clark fastened Berry's legs with 4 a stout cord.

Deputy Tigh placed the rope around his neck. After adjusting the knot properly. Berry was asked if he had any statement to make. In rather aa Indistinct tone he replied, 'Xo, sir; I have nothing Whatever tc say." The priest withdrew to the far edge of the scaffold, while the black, cap was placed over the negro's head. Deputy Sheriff Tigh descended the steps, and when about half-way down the staircase signaled Sheriff Kobey that all was ready.

In an instant there was a "dull thud." the trap swung back, and the criminal shot downward the length of the rope. For a moment after the fall his limbs twitched slightly, and his shoulders moved upward. Jr was but a moment. His feet then hung down, and there was not a visible motion of the body other than the swaying. Drs.

Reverdy Sasscer and G. French Owens examined the body after it had leen hanging about ten minutes and pro-xmced Berry dead. Both doctors stated that death was due to strangulation. The corpse was lowered into a coffin and given in charge of Thomas R. Nalley, a Washington undertaker, who placed It in a wagon, and the remains were taken to the Catholic cemetery, where they were interred by the side of Pinkney and Barber, who were also banged.

The execution was a decided success, and Sheriff Kobey and his deputies were the recipients of many congratulations on the orderly manner in which it had passed off. While the Sheriff limited the number of witnesses to the number regulated by law, he did not prevent hundreds from seeing the hanging, as every tree, stable, roof and housetop from which a view could possibly be obtained was filled with people. Mr. Clementine Clark, a brother of the murdered woman, witnessed the execution and said the negro richly deserved his fate. Mrs.

Broome, a resident of Prince George county, was the only woman who witnessed the hanging from the inclosure. She seemed thoroughly satisfied with the manner in which the execution was conducted, and so expressed herself. Before going to the scaffold Berry presented his rosary to John Martin, one cf the death watch. The murder of Miss Clark was committed near Bowie, in Prince George county, on the night of March IS. Berry at the same time made an attempt to mur- I der Mis3 Annie Clark, a sister of his vic- I tim, but finally spared her life after ex acting an oath from her not to tell who had killed her sister.

Berry was taken from Cheltenham Colored House of Reformation by the Misses Clark, where he had been sent from Frederick on the charge of being incorrigible.
