8 SLAIN BECAUSE OF A DOG •SPANISH JOHN’S” VICTIM DIES AT THE CITY HOSPITAL. Ennis’ Widow Tells the Story at the Coroner’s Inquest of Her Husband’s Fatal Mer-tAng’ with the Spaniard - Struck Down with a Loaded Cane for Stepping on a Dog—Scenes at Ennis’ Home. Henry Ennis who was struck in the henil some time ago with a loaded cane ly Jolm Roderqui, alias "Spanish John,” died at the City Hospital yesterday morning, and Coroner Dixon held an inquest and examin edpthe few witnusses that could be found. Miss T. Renter, Mrs. Mary Cosgrove, and Mrs. Mary Compson, all throe testified to the same facts. They were sitting on a piazza, on McGuire and Indian streets, on the night of June 5, and heard a dog bark. They looked aronnd and saw if man raise his arm and strike something three times, and the object that was struck fell to the ground. They could not see whether the mau who did the striking had anything in his hand for it was dark. Mary Augloe, the keeper of a negro baguio where the affray occurred, testified that Ennis called to her and she ran out into her yard, Ennis asked who the man who struck him was. She inquired what man, and he described his dress and sai l t hat lie carried a loaded cane. She told him that was "Spanish John.” CAUSE OF THE QUARREL. Ennis then said to her that John had accused him of stepping on nis dog’s tail, and then struck him with the cane. The woman saw “Spanish John” and had the cane in her hand. It was a small black cane with a loaded head. She accused John of striking Ennis, and wanted him to go to the hospital where Ennis was taken and see him, but lie denied that he had anything to do with the affair, and said that ho would not go to the hospital. Mrs. Annie Ennis, the wife of the dead man. testified that Ennis came home on the night of June 5, and t hat his head was bloody. He told her that "Spanish John” struck him on account of a dog. The verdict of th** jury was that the deceased came to his death from the effects l of a blow on the head made by some heavy instrument, in the hands of Roderqui, alias Spanish John, and the jury considered it manslaughter. THE POST MORTEM. A post mortem was made by Dr. John D. Martin, who attended the injured man. He gave the Coroner a statement in which he said that when Ennis was taken to the hos pital, the day after he was struck, he was suffering from compression of the brain. The doctor trephined the skull and found a clot of blood under the dura mater. He re moved the clot and the pat ient began to im prove, and for two or three days lie was able to take nourishment, but afterward he liegan to sink and kept sinking until he died. The post mortem showed tliat an abscess, the size of a hen’s egg, hail formod as a result of the disorganized clot, and the doctor had po hesitation in saying that Ennis’ death was the result of a blow received on the head. CAUSE OF DEATH. The bodj’ was taken to the home of Mrs. Ennis, but on amount of the abscess decom position se,t in at once, and the odor was so rail that the Coroner determined to remove the body to the cemetery to await burial. He sent his assistant to the house for the body, and there he found a frightful scene. The" widow and three of her female friends were under the influence of liquor, ami the widow was vainly endeavoring to lift the head of the body from the coffin to kiss it. In her attempts to show her affixation for her dead husband she had covered her hands with his blood, but this she did not heed. Her friends stood by her, lending her their aid and comforting her with their muiudlin sympathy. The house was filled with the soiled doves of Ynmacraw, and the death was made the occasion of a wholesale spree. The Coroner’s deputy was compelled to use force to remove the body. A FRIGHTFUL SCENE. The women screamed and wanted to fight him when he said he was going to take it away, and wlieu at last he did get it into the wagon he had to drive in a gallop to get away from the crowd of women that started after him. The body was in such a condi tion that it could not lie permitted to remain in the house. It was t aken to the Cathedral cemetery and will lie buried this morning. Roderqui is in jail under a warrant issued by Justice Nnlighten, and will lw held to await the action of the grand jury. He has been known fora long time as ,a dangerous character. Soon after tho affray in which he struck Ennis he disappeared, but was finally arrested hv Police Officer Sullivan. He is generally known us ‘‘Spanish John.” BREAKING THE MARITAL KNOT. The Patterson Divorce Case in the Hands of the Jury. The divorce caw of Viola J. Patterson against ox-Poliocman James B. Patterson was heard in the Superior Court yesterday.

She admitted that she had written to Roche, but had destroyed the letter, and did not not send it. Patterson testified to numerous quarrels and also to finding Roche in the house on the night of Nov. 29. At one time the testimony was so indeli cate that J. J. Abrams, Esq., Mrs. Patter son’s attorney, asked the court Pi stop Mr. Patterson from answering until Mrs. Pat terson left the room.

Haines, of the Sa-_. vannah, Florida and Western railway, re turned yesterday from Florida. He was asked concerning the statement ''ttributed to the officers the road that unless the quarantine regulations at Tampa are re laxed the steamship company will recall its bid for the Havana mail. •‘There is no foundation for such a state ment," was his reply. “No one connected with the company has ever, to mv knowledge, said any such” thing. We do not want the authorities to take any chances on the matter of quarantine. What we did ask was that we might be informed exactly what would be done in that matter. We wanted to know what regulations would be enforced in order that we might be guided by them in making our bids to the government. If the quarantine is to cut off all travel we will have to charge more for carrying the mail than if we can make something off the passengers. At present the steamship company is not making a cent.” “Are the quarantine regulations in the interior of Florida rigidly enforced?” “They are that, and it is the most ridicu lous thing in the world. Aixmt every county in the State is quarantined against every other county, and every town against every other town. There is not a case of yellow fever in Florida, except in Key West, yet a man cannot move from one county to another without a certificate that lie has lived for fifteen days in the place he is leaving. Why, a man went to Florida from Omaha the other day and they quar antined him, and he was scared to death and wrote home that yellow fever was all over the State. Of course the certificates scare timid persons, but some old travelers who know how to get around things take the inexperienced one side and get them a certificate for 25c. Even some of the negroes are writing their own certificates. Those who understand the thing travel with certificates from every county they are going through, and when the inspector comes through they hand him out the proper one and go on all right, it is absurdly riduculous, but it fur nishes $5O-a-month positions for politicians who have nothing to do, and so it is kept up. It is well known that the fever will not penetrate into the piney districts, and if carried there will die out; it will not spread; yet these districts are under as strict a quarantine as any others.” “How is work progressing on the South Florida?” “We are grading there; that is all we can do now. It will lie some time before the road is in order. We have a bridge to build and have to build half a mile out in the bay at Tampa. It is no small piece of work to build a seaport out in the water, and it will take a good while to rip it.” Col. Haines was asked about the interview which ho will have with Mr. Plant in New York, where he is going to-day. but he said he did not know what tho result of that would be. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
