Kijlocg, Mary E. Wilson, who has known Mis. Barker for five years, and Mary E. Middleton swore that Mrs. Barker's reputation for truth and veracity in Arlington was bad.

Dr. William R. Fisher, who qualified as an insanity expert, next testified. He saw Barker in the county jail in Jersey City in February last. Barker would not submit to an examination.

The witness said, however, that he observed Barker closely and saw nothing about him to indicate that he was or had been of unsound mind. He swore that he had formed aa opinion that Barker was of sonnd mind on the day of the tragedy. A long hypothetical question hearing on Barker's ability to judge right from wrong on the morning of the tragedy and his sanity or insanity at the time was put to the witness and he responded: I think Barker was able to distinguish right from wrong at that time and was sane.

MISS HOGANS T. Found in the Street Suffering from the Effects of Laudanum. WITHOUT HOME OR MONEY. Lost Her Position as Domestic and Was Unable to Secnre Another Place She Was Committed by Judge Tighe to Give Her Time to Recover Self-Possession. Friendless and without home.

Miss Norah Hogan, a good-looking, 25-year-old girl, was found last night hy Policeman Matthew Greene ht the Fourth avenue station on Sixty-fifth street, near Third avenue, suffering frpm the effects of a dose of laudanum. She was hanging over a railing helpless. Policeman Greene summoned Surgeon Fedde of the Norwegian Hospital, who removed her to that institution. The girl said she wag a domestic, formerly in the employ of a family at No. 4b9 Fourth street.

About five days ngo she was notified that the family no longer required her services -and she left. Miss Hanna, vainly-tsied to another position. She had no friends she could seek hoard from and she traveled about the best she could. Her money was also gone, which fact depressed her. Miss Hogan said she had taken the poison in mistake for a toothache remedy.

This morning Miss Hogan was well enough to leave the hospital, from which she was taken to the Butler Street Court on a charge of attempted suicide. When Judge Tighe asked the woman her motive for swallowing the poison she repeated the same story she told Greene. Judge Tighe learned from her that she was despondent, that she had no friends and was without funds. "That is serious' predirament to be in." safd Judge Tighe, hnt yon are yonng and ought to resist despondency. Ill commit yon to the House of Good Shepherd until Monday, by which time you will probably be in good shape.

Then, when, you return here, matters will be arranged to yonr aatisfaetion." SATISFIED WITH HER PORTION. Frlneezi Hatifeldt Net la Calif oral to Coateat Huntington Will. SAN FRANCISCO.

It is believed that Huntington did not adopt her in legal form, although he always spoke of her aa bia daughter and left her $1,000,000 in hia will, besides the dowry he gave her on her marringe. The rrincesa is at present staying with her mother, Mrs. Prentie of Sacramento, and her visit led to some speculation contenting the possibilities of contest by her of the late millionairea will. It waa thought possible that he had come here to look np evidence to prove that she was legally adopted hy Huntington, but her own atatements and those of her mother go to negative thia theory. HESTER IN THE DARK.

Tha Democratic Deader of the Twentieth District Knowe Nothing Ahent a Fight. Conrad Hester, the Democratic leader of the Twentieth Assembly District, against whom it is said a movement haa been started to dethrone him from the leadership, when een by a "Citizen reporter to-day, said that he had not heard of any such movement. The first I have heard of the movement ia what I saw in The Citiaen," he added. I know nothing absolutely about a combination against me nr a fight. BRITISH REFUGEES CAMPS.

James McKeen Regrets the Political Con-ditions in the FIRST ASSEMBLY DISTRICT. He la Sorry It Hat Turned Ont aa It Haa Looks aa if the Battle Would Be the Fiercest of Any So Far Waged Between the Dady-Ral-tonites and the Jnat-Plain-Re-pnblieana. The "peaee" conference that was to he in the First Assembly District vs ill prove to be a bitter feud. It was heralded as the panacea for ail the ills of that loiality generally regarded as the breeding spot for factional fights. The peace that was hoped for has been wrecked upon the shoals of personal discord.

The constituent elements that go to make up the Republican contingent in the First Assembly District apparently cannot be made to commingle. OH and water cannot mix. When placed together one must ride on the surface of the other. So with the two factions in the First Assembly District, one representing the work-i-day Republicans, the other typical of the silk-stocking element, one or the other must rule and the other must obey. The situation simply illustrates the old, old story of the utter impossibility of reconciling class hatreds.

This all leads up to the plain statement that Colonel Michael .1. Dady cannot placate the people opposed to him except hy personal retirement from political control of the district. Several months ago Dady met all of the election district leaders in the Fiist Assembly District and told them that he was willing to enter into any reasonable agreement to prevent a factional fight. As a result of this it was decided that each election district of the First Assembly District should hold meetings at xvkich delegate should be elected to a peace" conference. The business of the latter was to be the selection of the vnrious delegates for the primary election.

It was the supposition that the meetinzs of the election districts would present all of the rivalry in the districts, and that at them the questioned uipremacy.wttulik.il definitely settled, so that when the delegates had been elected to choose the representatives at the last big general meeting that the latter would prove a genuine peace conference. Such was the theory, but the practice was difficult. From the very outset, these election district meetings have been cat and dog where sharp dealings and rancorous recriminations were the rule, and not the exception. The climax was reached Monday and Tuesday nights, when, in the Twelfth Election District of the First Ward, two meetings were held by two factions and each elected its own delegate. This action alone makes tne peace conference a misnomer, as at the inception of the conference a bitter fight will be waged to decide who is the duly accredited delegate from that district.

It is now generally conceded by all the Republicans in the district that the peace conference will be an anomaly, and that it will be waste of time to hold it and a contradiction in terms to call it a peace conference. From present indications the "pca-e conference will never he held, and the same old fight against Dady's leadership will be carried to the primaries. While the situation described above accurately portrays the conditions its coming from a gentleman who knows the inside, both factions are loth to talk for publication on the subject, as they hate to admit the utter failure of the proposed peace. James McKeen, than whom there is no more representative Republican in the First Assembty District, when interviewed by a Citizen reporter last night expressed sorrow at the failure of the peace conference, He stated that the idea as proposed was a good one if it could be carried out successfully. have pot kept track of the progress of the movement.

continued Mr. Keen, sufficiently to be able to give an intelligent expression upon it. I know that it was started with the idea (if avoiding a primary fight, but it appears from what has occurred that there will he, another primary fight. I have not taken any active part in the morement. I was asked to do so, tint I had to decline, as I bad no time to doTote that way.

I had been consulted at the beginning in regard to the peace conference, and I agreed that it would be a good thing. I am sorry that it has turned out as it has. Mr. McKeen declined to discuss the reasons which led up to the failure of the peace conference on the ground that he was not familiar enough with the situation. Willis L.

Ogden, also interviewed on the subject, declined to discuss it. He said that he had not been invited to participate in the movement for hirmony. and therefore he knew nothing about it, and was not particularly Interested. Stephen V. White, another wealthy resident of the First when asked for an expression of opinion on the subject, absolutely declined, ne said he knew nothing abont the subject.

He had been out of town for several weeks and was entirely ont of touch with the political situation in his district. Oxford Degree for Professors Briggs ad Brow. LONDON, June 20. Oxford University has conferred honorary degrees on the Rev. Charles A.

Briggs and the Rer. Francis Brown, D. both professors In Cnion Theological Seminary, New York. DENIEDJ TOTQ By Rev. Mr.

Keller, Who Was Recalled This Morning. BEFORE HE WAS SHOT Defendant Did Not Speak to the Clergyman Never Borrowed Any Money From Mrs. Barker He i Reputation for Trntkfnlness Is Bad, According to Witnesses. JERSEY CITY. N.

June scenes arc being enacted in the celebrated Barker-Keller trial in Hudson County Court to-day. Judge Blair hopes that by to-night the case will be in the hands of the jury. The lawyers for the defense were jubilant this morning. By clever maneuvering yesterday afternoon in a hypothetical question to insanity expert Evans, they got before the jury the main facts of Mrs. Barker's sensational allegation against the elergjmnn.

Judge Blair steadfastly refused to allow the story to go on the court record in direct testimony, and it was only after a desperate effort that the hypothetical question wag allowed. The courtroom was again crowded to suffocation to-day. Dr. Kellers friends, still loyal to him, gathered about him and shook his hand when he appeared. It seemed to be the ruling impression this morning that the jury would not be able to agree upon the strange array of evidence which now confronts them.

When court opened Prosecutor Erwin addressed the court in regard to the publication yesterday afternoon of Mr Barker's alleged confession. He alleged that there was an ulterior motive for the publication, and requested the court to take proper action in the matter. Mr. Van Winkle replied that Mrs. Barker and her friends had the right to publish what they -wished, as she is not the defendant in the case.

He denied knowledge of it, and said that Barker had nothing to do with it. Judge Blair said in response: The court's attention was called to the publication of this highly indecent story last evening. There can be no mistake as to the motive that prompted this publication. The court Intends trniake thorough examination of this act, and it will be done in the near future. 1 The prosecution then announced that Expert Evans would not be cross-examined, and Miss L.

R. Germond, of Arlington, was called to the stand. Her home is in Arlington, and it is with her that the Barkers reside. Witness testified that for two weeks prior to thw shooting of Mr. Iveller Barker acted strangely and was evidently not himself.

Robert Warner, of Arlington, and Frank H. Dennis, superintendent of the Commercial Cable Company, were then called to the stand and testified as to Barkers good reputation for peace and quietness. The defense then rested its case and the prosecution recalled Mr. Keller in rebuttal, Mr. Keller, on the morning of the shooting, as yon walked along Midland avenue, did you sce'Mr.

Barker aDd did you speak to him, saying: Good morning, Mr. Barker. "I did not, replied Mr, Keller in a loud voice. Did you see Mr. Barker in any other place that morning?" I 'did not.

Did Mr. Barker say to you You damned villain, yon outraged my wife? He did not "Did yon see Mr. Barker getting closer and closer to you as he shot? I did not. Did you cry out: Dont! Dont! as Barker shot you? I did not." Did you ever outrage Mrs. Barker, or attempt to do so? Objection was made by the defense and the question was ruled out Mr.

Keller, did you ever borrow $83.75 of Mr. Barker? I did not. The witness was asked if he had borrowed sums ranging from 25 cents to $30 from Mrs. Barker at various He denied in loud tones that he had ever borrowed any money from Mrs. Barker, but said that be had.

The question wna not allowed. Mrs. Barkers testimony that she had left Keller's church because of KelUr's outrage upon her was read to tha witness and he was asked if that was her reason for leaving the church. The witness almost yelled: No.

Do you know the reason?" "Yes. "What was it?" The question was not allowed and Mr. Keller was excused. This testimony was diametrically opposite to that offered yesterday hy Barker and his wife. Eliza Sands waa next called in rebuttal.

She Is a member of Kellera cbqrch and the clergyman lived at her home for eight years. She was ssked concerning Kellers morality, but this waS not allowed. Do yon know of the reputation of Mrs. Barker in the community in which she lives for truth and veracity? I do. What Is it, good or bad?" Bad, among many." "Would you believe Mrs.

The New York State riiarmaccmiral Association has inaugurated a movement having for its ohjeet the e-tablishment of a memorial of the late William Proctor, of Philadelphia.

AYhat form the memorial will' take has not been decided. Ir. A. H. Brundage, of this borough, bo was appointed with Georee (V Diekmsn -and Willis G.

Vigilaat Worh a the Part af Poliee Captaia Short nad Detective Collins Prisoner Nabhed as Ho Wna Approaehlag His Honss Had Nothing to Say.

After a continuous search for nearly three days in connection with the big tea burglary early on Monday moraing in the tea storage warehouse of Benjamin J. Hill in Metropolitan avenue, near Berry street. Csptain Short of the Bedford avenue police station and Detective Collins early this morning had the satisfaction of capturing person who, it is alleged, instigated and carried out the robbery. He is Norman Hill, the twenty-two-year-old nephew of the tea dealer. Hill had lodged at No.

207 East Twenty fifth street, Manhattan, and it was while going toward that house that he was corralled. With the arrest of Hill the police now have in custody the alleged burglars, the alleged receiver of stolen goods, snd all the property has been recove led. Captain Short breathed a sigh of relief when he landed Hill in the station house. While seeking Hill the police arrested Herbert Le Clair, and information furnished by this prisoner strengthened the belief of the police that Hill was the man they wanted. Every day since Monday a search waa kept up for Hill.

Captain Short and Detective Collins believed that Hill would eventually return and a close watch was kept on the East Twenty -fifth street house. The captain and his detective took up their position near Hill's lodgings at 6 o'clock last night. There they waited until a few minutea before midnight. Just as they were on the point of giving np the search for the night they saw a well-dressed yonng man lingering about half a block from the house. The police hid, and preseatly the yonng man, who to be Hill, harried to the house ami was arrested at he was going to enter.

Hill made no resistance and he was immediately taken to the Eastern District, where his pedigree was taken, and he was then locked np on the charge of burglary. Hill had nothing to say. Before being conveyed to the Lee Ave-noe Court to-day he was takes to police headquarters. Later he was arraigned in court before Magistrate O'Reilley, who, at the request of the police, adjourned the hearing. There hsva been other robberies in Hill's warehouse, and a particularly large one last winter, when tea valued at $500 was stolen.

No clue to tbs thief or the property was ever found, but the po.liee were always satisfied that somebody well acquainted with the premises had committed the SELLING GOODS TO ENGLAND. WASHINGTON, June State Department is receiving gratifying reports from our consuls in England of the onward mrfrch of American manufactures. In nearly all the great industrial districts of the United Kingdom, the exports to the United States of manufactured goods are dwindling, while at the same time the import of similar articles from our ports are increasing. Consul McFarland at Nottingham reports the great growth of the American canned goods trade and of business transacted hy our dealers in hardware, stoves, hosiery, typewriters, cash registers and shoes. Consul Stephens at Plymouth speaks of the growth of our boot and shoe business and trade in our ready-made clothing; Vice-Consul Renton, at Bradford, tells of the boom in our furniture business, in, lawnmowers and elevators; and Consul Doyle at Liverpool and Consul Smyth at Hull report the progress of our meat and fruit trnde.

The reports w-ill be found in full in the next volume of the Commercial Relations now in press. TRUSTS A GROWING EVIL But Senator Barrows Objects to Babcock's Remedy. WASHINGTON June Burrows, of Michigan, speaks his mind to this effect: Trusts are a growing evil, which the Republican party will correct; but the Babcock remedy to put trust manufactured goods on the free list, is a false nostrum. It will destroy the industry, he explained, withoiit.kilfing the disease. However, the virus of free trade has not yet poisoned the minds of any considerable number of Republicans, so that there is absolutely no danger of the present tariff law being disturbed by the Babcock proposition or any similar agitation.

Even if it should leave the Ways and Means Committee and pass the House, it would never ggain see daylight after it reached the Senate Finance Committee. A Strange Bundle of Motion Papers. In the suit of Gandolpbo Bruno against David Canovan and others to recover damages for personal injuries Justice Gay-nor has denied a motion to change the place of trial from Kings to New York County.
