Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 31.—An inter-
view with Belva Lockwood has been
published in which she denounces the
course that has been pursued by Victoria
Woodhull and Tennie Claflin in England
and rebukes them for immorality. She
states that Mrs. Woodhull once admitted
to her that she had lived with Col.
Blood for eight years when her own hus-
band was living. Mrs. Lockwood is of
the opinion that these two women are too
well known to conceal their true charac-
ter from theEnglish people.

substance that which has previously been
published in these columns.
C. A. Bornefeldt stated that he was in
the court-house when the shooting took
place hut did not see McFarland.
The testimony of W. H. Gale and C. M.
Guinard was the same in substance as
that of the proceeding witness.
Dr. J. M. Weston said that he heard
three or four shots in rapid succession.
Saw a number of persons about the
sheriff’s office, but only recognized Rags-
dale and Mitchell after the first shots.
Mitchell fired twice seemingly at the wit-
ness. One ball struck him in the left arm
and glanced off. He had been called a
Woodpecker, but had never joined any
of the parties. He did not see McFarland
at the time of the shooting.
Dr. J. S. Turner stated that several
shots were fired from the vicinity of the
sheriff’s office. Rethought the first two
were directed at him, and when he was
escaping through a window another shot
was fired at him. Did not see McFarland.
Judge R. T. Wheeler testified as to the
shooting and the stampede that followed.
He was not positive who had killed
Terry, nor did he see McFarland present.
The testimony of Detective Williamson,
reciting the finding of an unloaded pistol
in Terry’s hand and the part he took in
searching the prisoners, carried the trial
up to the present writing. The case will
probably last until evening.
As a precaution against a repetition of
the awful tragedy of January 21 every
person who entered the court-house and
court-room was subjected to a thorough
search. No arms were found, however.

After hearing the testimony of a num-
ber of witnesses Judge Cleveland held
McFarland to bail in the sum of $2,500.
The bond was furnished by Messrs. Syl-

A Prominent Cattleman Claims to Have
Been Assaulted and Robbed.
Speci al to Evening Tribune.
Fort Worth, Jan. 31.—A wreck on
the Santa Fe occurred this morning at
Alvarado to a freight train. The train
was fired by the overturning of a stove
in the caboose, and that and the engine
are a .total loss.
An examination is in progress this
morning in a case which promises some
sensational developments. Several nights
ago a cattleman named A. J. Masty
stopped over here and started out to see
the city, and a short time afterward was
found unconscious on the sidewalk in an
apparently dying condition. Contrary to
expeciations he recovered and accuses A.
G. Rintleman, a wealthy saloonist of the
Third ward of having robbed and as-
saulted him. He has also brought suit
against Rintleman for $20,000 damages.

It contains all the news of theJsland.
There was a goodly attendance in the
criminal court-room this morning, the at- -
traction being fhe hearing of the writ of
habeas corpus applied for by Wm. McFar- '
land who was indicted upon the charge of ‘
the murder of Kyle Terry. The defend- ’
ant was represented by Major McLemore !
of this city and Oscar D. Kirkland of >
Richmond, Texas. The writ sets *
forth that ■ McFarland is unduly
restrained of his liberty.
It will be remembered that after the
tragedy in the court-house McFarland
was arrested upon the charge of carrying
concealed weapons. The grand jury fail-
ing to find an indictment on this charge
be was released from jail and returned to
his home in Richmond. A few days sub-
sequent to this an indictment for murder
was found against McFarland, whereupon
he came to the city and delivered himself
up to the custody of the sheriff.
He was present in the court-room
this morning and listened attentively to
the proceeding. McFarland is about 23
years of age, tall and muscular. He was
dressed' in a snuff colored coat and vest
and light pants, thuspresenting a neat
and gentlemanly appearance.
Richard Tiernan, the first witness,
stated that he was acquainted with the
defendant. At the time the first shots
were fired I am. not certain that McFar-
land was in the office, but before this I
saw him there. At the time of the shoot-
ing I was writing a writ for Mr. Camp-
bell. I then ran into the hall-way and
grabbed Gibson, who had a pistol in his
hand. Did not see McFarland. Gibson
was the only man I saw in the hall. He
was standing in front of the door of
the office. Just as I caught hold of him
he fired and I caught him by
both arms from behind. Heard two
shots before I went out of the office. Last
time- I saw McFarland was before the
shooting. Did not know that an accident
had occurred. After I had caught Gib-
son he broke away from me. I caught
him again and some one said, “Drop
him, you---or I’ll drop you.” I held
on to him and then turned him over to
Detective Cahill. I then saw the dead
body af Kyle Terry.
Cross-examination: After I had placed
Gibson in jail I came back to the sheriff’s
office and found McFarland and the five
others. Before the shooting I was asked
by Sheriff Aten, of Ricnmond, to try
to prevent a meeting between Gibson and
Terry. Gibson also made the same re-
quest, and I promised to take them to a
room upstairs. I was then called away
by Mr. Campbell, and the shooting com-
menced. Gibson fired one shot m front
of the office. I did not find any pistol
on McFarland’s person. He was searched
by Officers Cahill, Perrett and myself
after Gibson had been placed in jail.
Two pistols were taken train Ragsdale,
and one was found in his grip, and two
were taken from Mitchell. Blakely
was not armed. The number of
pistols corresponded with the number
of persons who were in the office before
the shooting'and were arrested.
Questioned by the defense—There was
a shot fired toward the sheriff’s office
after I went into the hall. I saw the
flash hut could not see anyone on ac-
count of the smoke. The men gave up
their pistols willingly.
Questioned by prosecution—This shot
was fired from a point between the stair-
way and main entrance. This was after
the first two shots were fired. The win-
dow was opened when I returned to the
sheriff’s office.
’ Questioned by defense—Could not see
who told me to release Gibson. The'
voice came from behind. McFarland
was not armed when searched.
The next witness called was Mr. John
Lovejoy, who gave a detailed account of
having seen Gibson with a pistol, and
bis warning those present that some one
was going to shoot. His recital was in

Probability of a Serious Strike on the
Queen and Crescent Railroad.
Special to Evening Tribune.
Chattanooga, Jan. 31.—Among the
best informed railroad men here the
chances for a tie-up of the Queen and
Crescent railroad system by its employes
are thought to be almost a certainty. The
grievance is the recent discharge of sev-
eral conductors, members of the. new
brotherhood, whose reinstatement is de-
manded. The Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers have been asked to side
with the conductors, and from recent de-
velopments will probably do so. It has
leaked out that a secret conference was
held in Cincinnati yesterday, at which
the engineers were to determine their
course, but the result is not yet known.
Should they decide, as representative
members of the brotherhood think, the
brakemen and firemen will join, and the
trouble on the Queen and Crescent.will
be small 111 uuinputitsuii, ao mcic 1

To Dodge the Influenza.
Special to Evening Tribune.
Vienna, Jan. 31.—A curious movement
has been set on foot in Austria and Hun-
gary in the hope of preventing liability to
influenza. Societies have been formed to
abolish the custom of doffing the hat in
saluting ladies and at funerals, and to
substitute a simple touch of the brim in
military fashion. Many, governors of
provinces and mayors of cities are of the
opinion that the mortality arising from
the disease is largely due to the over-zeal-
ous politeness that insists on hats being
taken off and especially at funerals.
BURNED TO DEATH.
An EITort to Close Some of Them in
Louisville, Ky.
Special to-Evening Tribune.
Louisville, Ky., Jan. 31.—The chief
of police is determined to stop the nefar-
ious business of harboring and prostitut-
ing female children by the low negro dens
on Green and Grayson streets. The laws
are sufficient and he is going to give the
proper authorities the opportunity to en-
force them. Despite the successful raid
on these dives recently theV*are again in
full blast, with a crop of children. The
chief had directed a number of his officers
to don citizens’ clothes and keep an eye
on the dives. It is one of the practices
• of these palces to send out children of 12
or 13 years to “solicit” men to enter the
dens, and the officers had been on the
square but a few minutes last night when
they were tackled by two girls about 13
years of age.
The cops took them at once to the cen-
tral station and locked them up. They
will be tried to-day. This caused an
alarm among the other similar establish-
ments and no other arrests were made.
Wants to Wear a New Uniform.
Special to' Evening Tribune.
London, January 31.—A distinguished
Russian now living here explains the de-
sire of the Czar for war sooner or later
thus : It seems that the Czar.has forty-
four suits of uniform, all of which he has
worn, save one, that of Marshal of Rus-
sia, and he has vowed that he will never
put it on till the right to do so has been
conferred upon him by his brother mar-
shals after a victory.

the world at large by his peculiar super-

2. Mr. Hume will demonstrate the vari-
ous methods used by such renowned
spiritualistic mediums as Dr. Charles
Slade, Mrs. Hoffman, Dr. Arnold, Prof.
Taylor, Charles Cook and others, in
plain, open gaslight. A night of wonder-
ful manifestations. A table rises four to
five feet and floats in midair. Spirit
hands and faces are plainly seen and

leading scientists of England. Every
opportunity will be afforded for the
closest investigation by the public and
press of the city. A small admission
will be charged.
