“Did ho ever kiss you?” asked the tgod

“Vos,” with a m«u« and a shrug.
' “How many tines?”
“Two times, and twotimostoo much;”
“Only twice?”
“Yes’—venr pointedly, “you want

Tho counsel denied thp imputation, but
persisted in making her describe tho
kissing. It was on tho occasion of the
mooting in tho library.

Sho admitted that McDow had his arms
around her, butthoro was no intimation
of anything further than the kiss. Tho
defendant producod a carte do visito,
which slm acknowledged giving him
and on which was written:
‘‘Mario, tho mountain girl?”
Nothing could bo got out of the wit
ness as to Me Dow's intention in trying to
take her into tho house up town on tho
day of tho murder. Her answers were
perfectly frank and apparently equally
innocent. Sho said iu answer to tho
questions :
“I don’t bclievo ho knew himself.”
m'dow didn't love her right.
When askod if sho thought McDow
loved her, sho answered: ‘‘I thought so,
hut not in tho right way; not iu tho
honest way.” When tho witness was
finally dismissed it was difficult to say
what impression sho made. It was alto
gether one of the most remarkable ex
aminations ever hold in a court room.
OTHER EVIDENCE.
Tho only other evidence takeu during
tho day was that of John Devercux and
1*. P. Oliver, who measured the foot-
S Tints in tho grave and in tho closet, and
Ir. W. Wigg, who corroborated tho
r of the finding of the body. The
trial will probablv last two or three days
longer.
Dr. IflrDow’a Story of Ibc Kllllne.
Charleston, 8. C., Juno SW.—Dr.
McDow told tho story of his killing
CapL Dawson twice to-day—one® on the
direct, ami again on tho cross-examina
tion. Ho was ou tho stand for two
hours, and was as wlifie as a sheet when
ho began to testify, but befuni his story
had half liccn told ho liccanio |«rfoctiy
calm and apjKircntly unconcerned. In
nil his recital of the details of tho trag
edy ho was led by his counsel,' Judge
McGrath, and testified to just what his
counsel wished. Thero were several
spats between the counsel for tho state
and defense as to tho leading character
of tho examination, hut tho court gen
erally sustained the defense.
m'dow'h story of the tragedy.
Dr. McDow said Unit (’apt. Dawson
came to his office, rang the bell and was
admitted by him. Dawson, ho testified,
ns domineering in his manner, and
arned him that ho imfct not i|s.-nk to
the French maid again or come on his
promises. McDow replied that ho would
speak to her whenever 1m chose,
until ho (Dawson) could show Ida au
thority for forbidding him to s|N>ak to
her. Then Dawson said to tho witness
that ho would publish him in the | a|*er.
Y/uviiAijnm bo (McDow; denounced flilu
as nn internal scoundrel and ordered him
out of his otlico.
DAWSON STRUCK AND M’DOW SHOT.
Upon this Dawson struck him on tho
head with his wulking can© and fol
lowed it with (wo blows from his
hand, when ho (McDow). behoving him
self t‘* t*» »n danger of his life, shot him.
Dawson, tho witness said, exclaimed iu
hulf articulate toms:
“Youdiavo killed me.”
Tho witucAs replied:
“Yes, you, you camo to kill mo,
but 1 have killed you.”
Dawson died immediately. McDow
said that ho wan so nppallcd by tho *f-,
foot of his shot that he lost his reason i
and would Iwvc resuscitated Dawson if 11.«.

Ho then tried to bury the liody in tho

dragged his victim's Ixsly kick
into tho olHco, wijn-d tho hhssl from his
face and limilly aft* r two or tliroolioiirs

Tho witness was not cxcih-d In giving
his graphic account of the tragedy. Al
together it was a horrible story, and told
caliuly ami almost unconcernedly.

There were 827 rotes cast. At tho

Mr less than thirty over the first liullot.
While the additions w »-re bung made,
Adams county asked to change her vote
and cost the whole number (7) for
Foraker.* The chair ruled that no

would he allowed. ThU was tho point
which tho friends of Foraker hlul set to
do their work.
CONFUSION REIGNED BUrUKME.
The delegates were all on their feet,
and tlie op|Nsiition to Foraker joined iu
the din and endeavored to stem tlie tide.

tinued amid great disorder. After it

WORKMEN WARNED.
Gen. Hostings issuod tho following nn
nounceiuent to-day: Some employing
agencies in New York, Pittsburg and
other cities are bending laborers to Johns
town. They tell them that they will be
given tr;iH.s|Mirtation und $2 pur day
wages. These promises are prac
tically a false pretense. There
arc more laborers in Johnstown now
than rail l>o employed and the rate of
wages In not as high us stated. No work
man should couie to Johnstown at this
time to sock work.”
DISCHARGING TIIE MEN.
Tlio force of men employed vnder con-
ti.itdots in tiie iiuuuuti districts of the
vicinity numbers about 1,500, having
been reduced from aliout 2,000 by the
discharge of 500 of McKuight's men,
mostly from New Xork, this morning.
In nildition to the 1,500 men under con
tractors there are probably 500 others
working in various places about
tho city on their own account.
Tlio contractors now in charge
are four in uuiuber, ami each lias a foi c<-
of alNiut 51,500 men and 112 teams. The
reason given for tho discharge of the
this morning is that they were not
needed. Now that tin- streoUcare pretty
well o|M)ii, it is claimed that u smaller
force can work more effectively. The
princi|>a! streets are pretty well cleared,
so tliat wagons can trswnw them

cluded tho work of blasting to

the river channel will bo sreodily

Four iMwliej were found to-ilay, two of
them children, aud they were not recog

1MJUC8T OVER A FLOOD VICTIM.
Coroner Evans this evening resumed
tho inquest on the body of 3!rs. Ellin
Hite, a victim of tho flood. J. L. Collin
of this place, a mechanical engineer,
was the first witness. He said hu con-
ridcred tlie houthfork dam dangerous,
as it hniked. Thorn wan, he said, no
means of drawing the water.
John Fulton, gcucral manager of the
Cambria iron works, was the next wit
ness. He said that liny had been used to
htop up tho leaks in the dam, and he be
lieved tho repaint made after the burst
ing of the datu in 1880 were not porfoct.
Ho al-«o said that the escape pipe should
liavo boon iwd. •
F. P. Collins, an engineer of tho Pitts
burg, said the discharge would not have
lieen any beneflL He considered the
dam (lerfectly safe, ami attributed its
bursting to the extraordinary ruins on
tlie morning of tlie fatal de-aster.
SAW THE DAM DURST.
John G. Parks of Pittsburg, also an
engineer, said that lie wan at l&iutli
Fork when the dam buret, and in
detail he told of tlio rapid rise
of tho water. Wlien lie ar**** on tlie
fatal morning lie found tho water
surprisingly high and tho lake was boil
ing and iNitsteroiis. He toll of how the
water laid extended buck Jnto tho woo*Is
and said lie had rowed over the adjoin
ing fences. Tho water mso from seven to
ten inches an hour. He saw the Isle
overflow and warned the people «i
ttnuthfovfc and Johnstown of tho a|e
preoching disaster. Tho inquest ad
journed until Monday uoxt, when other
engineers will be examined.
