Tho cane of Kdvrnrrt J. IUtcWTc, the actor,
who U cliarccii with boating his wife, Peter Do
Lacy'a daughter, will no to tho Jury to-day.
. Ralcllffo, In tho Oencrnl Sessions Courtroom,
before tho trial was resumed yesterday, laughed
nil jolted vrllh bis counsel, and Itwasorldont
thai he was highly plonsed vrlth the testimony
f given by his' witnesses, tho men and women who
ate tho ducklings over which Mr. and Mrs. lint
elide had quarrelled. LrnVycr Towns recalled
tho actor to tho stand and nuked him this quos-
,tlon:
" Dofore you and your wife soparated on Juno
12 did she show you any bruises on her person
and tell you how sho camotiy them I"
"Yes, sir," answered Ilatcllffc. "Two or three
days before that my wife showed me a largo
brulso on her hip. Sho said that sho had fallon
against tho Icobot and knoolced herself against
tho dlnlnft room table."
Assistant District Attorney Lloyd askcil Itnt-
I ditto about tho bruises which Mrs. Rntcllffo
I told bor doctor wcro tho result of . bcatinc her
husband gavo her at I.arcliniont. Tho witness
Bald that ho never know his wlfo had any
brulsos while they wcro living at Larchmont.
Lawyer Towns asked Itatcllffe whether his
wlfo was extravagant, and ItntcllfTo answered
that previous to tholr marriage she owed a
dressmaker's bill to a Mine. Sharp. The bill was
for 8800.
John Chambers, who in 1885 was treasurer
for tho Mary Anderson company playing In
London, was called, and began to testify to the
ffect that Itatcllffe had told him that he had a
wlfo and child living In London, but Judge New
burger ruled tho testimony out.
Police Sergeant Charles O. Buoldon was called
In rebuttal by tho prosecution to show that when
Mrs. ItatcUff o applied for a warrant for her hus
band's arrest sho hud a black oyc.
I.Irs. Itatcllffo was recalled aud questioned by
Assistant DlBtrlct Attorney Lloyd as follows;
Q. Did your husband send you Uf teon, twenty
flvo, or fitly dollars a week for your support, as
ho says ho did while ho was playing at Boston I
A. It Is false.
Q. What amounts did ho send J A. A few
Tory small amounts. I nover had a cent of his
alary. Ho only gave mo money to pny bills,
and was In tho habit of taking back thechnnge.
Mr. Towns I objoct to tho rotivalot finan
cial Issues.
Judgo Nowburgor You opened the door for
all this yourself, Mr. Towns.
Mr. Towns 1 huvo opened no doors, your
Honor, except tho doors of yonder jury room,
! where tbey locked mo in lost night. Mrs. Hot
clliro said that her husband had pawned her
diamond earrings and had then gono to Man
hattan Beach, where ho spent tho evening with
two women whom he treated to supper, She
denied her husband's statement thai she was
subject to nosebleed. Sho denied that she had
drunk beer with the janitor's dinner party at
her flat two days after tbo alleged assault. .Sho
added that she did not take oft her veil that day.
The members of the dinner party had testtllod
thut thoy saw h-r faco and that she had no
bruises on it.
"Did Mr. ltatcliifo ever threaten you with a
pistol l"-Jjkcd Mr. Lloyd.
"Ho dm.'' said Mrs. Itatcllffe. "When I was
living at 452 West Twenty-second streot. on
Feb. 12 be told mo that ho would loavo me on
my father's stoop and blow my brains out. On
' another occasion be mado me get up and sit
down by threatening mo with a revolver."
Q. It has been said that you appear here un
der your father's Influence f A. That Is false.
Q. You have no wish to roturn to your hus
band! A. No: I have stood his brutal conduct
I just as long as I Intend to.
Q. Uavo you any love or affection left for this
man ? A. No.
Q. Until when did you lovo him I A. Till ho
started to cuff and threaten mo.
Q. Did he kick you with boots or slippers I
A. Mr. RatclitTe never had any slippers.
' No," remarked Mr. Towns, "you never loved
him enough to give blin a pair of slippers, did
yout And you unto him now, don't you I"
" Yes," answered Mrs. Itatcllffe.
Q. And you want to soo him punished, don't
you t A. Yes.
Q. You would give a good deal to have him
punished 1 A. Yes.
Q. You would make any socrlflco to have him
punished t A. Yes.
Q. And you teel very bitter toward hlmt
A. Yes.
Thomas A. Churcb, a clerk In thsTbrkvillo
Police Court, testified that when Mrs. ItatcllfTo
called at the court for a warrant her face was
bruised and discolored.
I Lawyer Towns was very dramatlo in his sum
ming up. Ho compared E'eter De Lacy to
Mepblstopholes, ana snid that Do Lacy was the
real mover In tho enso against Itatcllffe. He
( added that no Binall amount of punishment
would do for Mr. Do Lacy's thirst for revenge.
"Ho must havo the full pound of fleBhl"
shouted Lawyer Towns. "Ills daughter has
been dragged here for the purpose of sending
I her husband to prison. Her Btory bos been ex
aggerated into a monstrous lie. Shakespeare
never spoko u truer word than when he Bald of
certain women: ' Pictures out of doors, belles in
your parlors, wildcats in your kitchens, devils,
being off ended.' A perfect picture, gentlemen
Mrs. Rntclltlc. Whero is womanhood, whero
its sisterhood, when to-day a woman can como
into a court of justice and say, 'No sacri
II io is too grrat to gain revenge t' Let
us look at somo of the facts In this
case. Why didn't the Assistant District
Attorney produco Miss Henderson, tbo young
woman who went to Janitor Farloy's house with
Mrs. Itatcllffo on tbo Monday night following
the quarrel f Why didn't ho produco Mrs. Ire
land, tbo woman with whom Mrs. Itatcllffe had
boarded 1 He did not want these people to como
hero and tell tho truth. Why didn't he find
them? It was his duty, and when he fails in
that duty ho is a disgraco to his office, an offlco
which bo has but a abort time to oczupy."
Assistant District Attorney Lloyd at this
juncturo interrupted Itatcllffe s counsel by re
marking in an undertone: " It socms to mo that
Mr. Towns is a disgraco to his profession."
Mr. Towns replied by referring to Mr. Lloyd
as " a Darwinian specimen."
. - '"Ono moment, Mr. Towns." shouted Judge
Newburger, "1 woi'ld suggest that you get
through with this caso without villlfytng and In
a good humored way."
Mr, Towns strokort his beard, straightened
himself up, and said: "Your Honor. Inmin good
humor, in tho best of humor; a better humorod
man never scuttled a piratical ship."
Assistant District Attornoy Lloyd will sum up
this morning, and tho caso will probably be
given to the jury somo time this afternoon.

Capt. Meeaaakei Appeat rpr tbo Revraaa
Merrlee.
WASnmcrron, Dec. 21. Capt. a F. Bboemaker,
chief of the revenue cutter service, la his
official report. Issued to-day, replies to the con
tention that the rovenuo cutters cannot legally
be employed In the suppression of filibustering.
"Tbe duties of the revenuo cutter service
officially defined under the law," he says. " con
slst In the enforcement of all laws of the Unltod
States affecting tho maritime Interest of the na
tion; tho arrest and prevention of illicit trafdo
by sea; tho navigation laws, compelling all
kinds of craft navigating the waters of tho
United States to comply with legal requirements
in regard to documents, lights, steamboat In
spection, and passenger laws."
Tho report of Capt. Shoemakor Is the first one
Issued by tho revenue cutter servlceslnce
1801. It contains a rovlow of tho growth of tbe
service since Its inception in 1700, and n num
ber of Important recommendations for tho de
velopment of tho fleet and its operations.
Tho number of commissioned officers author
ized on the actlro list is 222, composed of 144
lino and 78 onglncer officers. Tho enlisted force
numbers about 1,000 persons. Tbe number of
revenuo cutters is 37. The report has this to
say In addition to tho presentation of the
statistics of tho servlco:
"The multifarious duties imposed on the reve
nue cutter sorvlco under existing laws and the
rapidly growing scopo of its operations Impera
tively demand that aneinelcntclassot vossols
bo provided in which to do tho work. The
cruisers should be ablo sea-going vessols, swift
runners, of modern typo as to cons true tlon.cqulp
ncnt, motlvo power, and of slso toglvo amplo
spneo for machinery and dependencies. Quarters
for officers and crew, bunker capacity for fuel,
storaga room for supplies, and of such woathcrly
qualitlos as to fit them to keep tho sea upon
occasions which aro constantly arising.
These demands havo been materially em
phasized in recent years by tho steady
advance made in tho size, draught, and superior
speed of tho class of vessels employed In tho
merchant marine Tbat the servlco has not
been kept abreast of the times and thodomands
mado upon it Is made painfully manifest. Thorn
aro but two vessols (tbo cruisers Hoar and Oal
vostonjof ovor 400 tons burden, whllo tho rest
range botweon 102 nnd 330 tons, and not a sin
glo ono has motlvo power to drlvo It undor tho
most favor ablo conditions of weather nnd sea at
top speed more than ten oreleven knots an hour,
whllo the average speed of tho best of them will
not exceed eight or nine.
"I cannot too earnestly recommend that at least
flvo cruising vessels bo provldod for and three
new vessels for harbor service are indispensable.
Thera should bo provided at least ono crutsor
for tho Paclflo coast to take tho place of somo
ono of the old ond smaller vessols now on duty
In thoso waters. Tho Columbia Hiver bar Is
widely known as very dangerous, and a vessel
should be constructed especially for tbat region.
There is not now a vessel in tho sorvice adapted
to It."
TALKED CIVIL SERVICE.
Tbe Cabinet Meetlnr Dlacnssed tbo Rsptlea to
tbe nenate Besolntlon.
t
Washington, Doc. 21. Civil sorvice reform
was tho principal subject discussed at tho meet
ing of tho Cabinet to-dny. The talk was occa
sioned by tho resolution which passed the Sonato
laBtwcek requesting each momber of tbo Cabi
net to lndlcato wnether there were any appoint
ivo places in his department which should bo
included in tho classified service, and whether
ho would recommend any modifications on this
account in tho civil service regulations. Each
member of the Cabinet mado a general state
ment to tho President regarding tho character
of his answer to be made to tho Senate. 'Iho re
sult was a practical agreement that only a few
changes in tho regulations should bo recom
mended. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, of all the
members, is most favorablo to a modification of
the rules, though Secretaries Gage and Bliss
and Postmaster-General Gary Bpoke of somo
changes which tbey bclievo would onerato to
the real credit of civil service reform. Secretary
Alger was not present, but it Is said that he Is
one of tho most advanced advocates of the re
form system. Secretaries Sherman and Long
showed that they should rccommoud no mate
rial changes in tbelr departments.
Secretary Gago is expected to recommend a
change in reforenco to the status of deputy col
lectors of internal revenue, a controversy with
refcrenco to which is pending.
It was said after tho Cabinet mooting that tho
replies of tho members to the Senate' resolution
will bo ready for presentation immediately after
the reconvening of Congress, and with this an
nouncement came tho assurance tbat the replies
generally would be unfavorable to tho attacks
now being mado by Congressmen on the civil
servlco regulations.
It is said that tho President be)ioves that a
majority of tho Republicans in Congress are in
favor of the maintenance of the present Bystcm
without radical amendment. The Cabinet meet
ing to-day strengthened tbe belief, however,
that Mr. McKinley will ordor some small modi
fications in the rules.

Washington, Deo. 21. Miss Leila Herbert,
the only unmarried daughter of ex-Secrotary of
tho Nary Hilary A. Herbert, who presided over
his houso during thoClovoland Administration,
committed sulcido -this morning by jumping
from a third-story window at her residence.

since last September as n result of a fall from hor
horso in tho country near Washington, and wns
recently put In tho care of a nurso. Sho had
been sufforing from melancholia, as a result of
the accident which promised to mako her a
cripple for life. ,
This morning when the nurse was in the
lower part of tho houso Miss Uorbcrt got a
small pair of scissors and mado sovoral danger
ous cuts in both her wrists. The nurso discov
ered her condition and hurried to tho residence
of Dr. W. W. Johnston. When tho doctor ar

steps. Sho had raised the third-story window
and jumped to tho ground below.
At tho Navy Dopartment, Immediately after

oftlclal report, filed after ho had mado a thor
ough examination of the circumstances.
During tho lato Cloveland Administration
Miss Herbert was one of tho belles of official
society In Washington. Circumstances con
nected with her family as well as her personal
attractiveness contributed to this, for she was
mistress of her father's household, her mothor
having died sovoral years ago. MIbs Herbort
was an especial favorito of Mrs. Cleveland nnd
wasbcloicd by tbo wbolo Cabinet circle. She
often accompanied her father in hisoftlclal trips
on tho Dolphin. Sho christened the battleship
Massachusetts at tho launching In Cramps'
Bhlpyard.
Slnco Secretary Herbert's official life in Wash
ington Miss Herbort had been not less popular.
She was a beautiful blonde and nttractod atten
tion everywhere as much on account of n charm
ing personality as for her beauty. Until recent

cither driving or riding hor bicycle. Mr. Ucnja
mln Micou. son-in-law of tho ex-Secretory, gavo

ing stepped to the door to call some one, and be
fore sho could catch her MlssHorbert left bcr

Delia Richardson, tho spinster daughter of tho
lato Joseph Richardson, wns dcclarod by Sur
rogato Fitzgerald yesterday to bo In contempt
of court for ignoring court process, and ex
cept for tho consideration of Davles, Stone St
Auerbach, counsel for J. Jnffred Uutlef, tem
porary administrator of tho cstato of box father,
sho would havo bcon in tho custody of tho
ShorifT yesterday, that is if tho Sheriff could
havo stormed tho placo In which sho is in
trenched at 110 Kast Houston streot. Accord
ing to affidavits filed with the Surrogate Miss
Illchardson has bo arranged hor affairs that sho
Is almost secure ngatnst process.
In tha effort of Mr. Ilutlor to discover some
of tho millions of dollars' worth of socurltlos
which it Is understood her father hold, and
little of which Mr. Ilutler has been ablo to dis
cover, ho procured an order for the examina
tion of Miss Illchardson. ' Tho ordor was re
turnable on Dec. 7. Miss Illchardson was
finally sorved ono morning boforo sho was
aware that process was out, but sho did not ap
pear for examination as required by tho ordor.
It tins appeared in tho contest of llichardson's
last will (which Delia and George his two chil
dren by his first wife, brought beoauso tho will
glvos a third of his cstato to their stepmother),
that thoso two children handled securities for
htm. Mr. Iiutlcr thought that Miss Illchardson
might know what had bocomo of somo of tho
securities. As no oxcuso for her non-appearance
was forthcoming, DnWes, Stono Sc Auer
bach obtained an ordor from Surrogate Kitz
uerald requiring her to show causo why Bbo
Bhould not bo punlshod for contempt.
It was easy to got tlio ordor, but quito another
matter to servo it. For sovoral days tho houso
was watched without success. Miss Illchardson
occupies tho thrco floors of tho premlsos obovo
the Btorcs, and sho soldom goes out. Tho clerks
who wcro trying to sorvo tho ordor were told
that about 0 A. M. she usually sweeps tha side
walk and gots somo provisions for tlio day, nnd
that sho docs not loavo tho houso again. Tho
only way to draw hor attention Is to hammor on
the door, and it is said that no attention Is paid
by hor tn such knocking unless she has mado an
appointment for tha tlmo tbo knocking occurs.
Miss Illo nrdeon lives with a Miss Kmlly Km
mitt and a Miss Iletsy Illchardson, both Bald to
bo oldcrly women llko herself.
After watching tho house for several days tho
process sorvcrs wero rewarded by seeing Miss
Illchardson coma out on Monday to got somo
provisions. When tho process sorvor ap
proachod hor sho refused to tako tbo paper. Ilo
laid It on -her arm, but sho paid nonttontlon
to It, and as sho movod away the document fell
to tho streot, where ho left it. As sho did not
pick It up sho could not havo known that it
wns an order for her to show cause yesterday
why sho should not bo punlshod for contempt
of court.
When the motion came up yesterday sho did
not appear, and no ono was present In her be
half. In moving for hor commitment, counsel
Bald:
"I disliked very much to tako this step, but I
was forced to in ordor to protect my client, Mr.
Butler. As administrator he is determined to
find out what became of all of Mr. Hichardson's
millions."
Surrogate Fitzgerald adjudged Miss Richard
son in contempt, and said he would issue an at
tachment againBt her.
A ropresontatlvo of tho firm said later In tho
day that Instead of taking out the writ they
had decided to writo to Miss Richardson's coun
sel. Wheeler 11. Pcckham, and sea if he could
not bring his client to reason.
Mr. Ilutlor bus bIbo procured an order for tho
examination of tho son. Gcorgo Illchardson.
Homor W. Nichols of the firm of It. II. Blssoll (c
Co.. brokers, through whom Richardson bought
and Bold securities, was examined yesterday.
About eight years ago Hit hardson had told tho
witness that all his securities belonged to his
children, Qoorge nnd Delia, and that bis opera
tions wore in tbelr Interest. Tho witness know
that HIchardBon held securities In other nnracs
than bis own anl had some In tho namo of
Kmlly Kmmltt. Tho securities in tho name of
Miss Kmmttt the witness had turned over to tho
administrator at the last hearing and ho did not
bclievo there were any others In her name. Tho
witness had called on Miss Richardson at her
houso In Houston street. Ho was asked:
"How did you got In t With a crowbar I"
"After incessant knocking," said tbo witness.
Thu hearing was adjourned until U:U0 this
afternoon.

A Many-tlded Competition on New Tear's Day
at Harbor Hill.
The Greens Commlttoo of tho flarbor Hill
Golf Club will send out to-day notices of a now
and original method for holding a tournament.
The conditions havo bcon cleverly framed Bd
that plenty of sport Is assured no matter how
tho w cathcr may be. The plan Is to hold a toam
tournament on New Year's Day morning, open
only to the members, with a largo claret cup of
special brow as tbo prize, of which winners and
losers wll! join In drinking prosperity to the
Harbor Hill Club for 18l8. Tho teams will bo
paired fiom tho entries by thoTournumcnt Com
mittee, based on tho latest handicaps, and they
will be made as equal In playing strength as
possible. The losing team will pay fur tho claret
cup and tbo winning team will receive its entry
stakes back.
The idea is to have tbo entire club arranged
into rival tenuis, tho losing side to pay for tho
punch. If tho ground is deep with snow tho
Groona Committee will order ono putting green
cleared, and tbo mulch will be settled by a put
ting and approaching compotitlon. It it rains,
a novel golf contest will be held within tho
clubhouso. Therein much mystery about tho
form tho latter competition will take, as tho
flayers will not know Its oxact nature until
hoy appear at the house.
Both Seymour and Jotm D. Dunn are passing
tho winter at Cbicopco Falls, Mass. Should tho
latter not return to the Ardslcy Club next sum
mer, ho will make a trip abroad that will lncludo
somo weeks of golfing at North Berwick and St.
Andrew's. Dunu will probably play at the
Ocean County Hunt and Country Club on New
Year's Day.
Tho llnal matches to determlno the clnss A
and It championships of tbo Crescent A. C. were

over said so. Well, you can't bolleve all you
hear, bo it jou are going West I would llko lo
accompany you, nnd then 1 can learn exactly
how ho stand In tho matter."
hen Stuart dcclarod that such n thing
would bo unbusinesslike, as it would creato tho
Impression that he (Stuart) was forcing Fltz
Bltnniom inlonnothcr battle, Corbctt said:
.."Well. If Idon'tgo with uu I'll go alone, and
I II soo him mysell. I havo been told that ho

I will bout Cincinnati this week, and from there
I will take a Jump to the Windy City nnd pay

there will bo nu troublo botweon us. I will tell
him what 1 want, and If bohajsthat ho cannot
accommndato mo I will bo satisfied. But I am
very confident that ho won t refuse several
propositions which I will advance."
What the propositions wcro Corbett would
not divulgu. Ho as that ho does not Intend to
hound ot boro Fltrsimmons. Ho merely wants
to bavo a pleasant confab with him.
Stuart expects to hear from cither Julian or
Fltzslmmons to-day, and it tho news is encour
aging ho will go to Chicago at once. Corbett
'left lor Cincinnati last night. Ho will not return
