Hamilton, the newspaper reporter, on the charge of murdering Leonard It. Day by stabbing him In a hotsl billiard loom on November 26 last, began today. The court room was packed with a curious crowd. Upon tho opening of tho caso Judge Brooks gavo a fuw words of ndvlec to tho Jury, pointing out to them tho Importance of the case, the necessity of keeping open minds and not forming too hasty conclu sions until tho cvldcnco was all before them. County Attorney IJonrdinnn outlined tho cAsn and mado the sensational stnto ment that Hamilton, beforo bis friends and attorneys had boon able to reach him and ndvlsu silence, had mado a confession of the crlrao to a pollco officer and had claimed that It was Cone Ic self-defense. I)r. II. H. Staples, house physician at the hotel, was tho nst witness called. Ho simply testified to finding Day dead on tho floor of tho billiard room. J. Warron Little, who had attended the noat mortem, described Day's wounds In dotal). The fatal ono was a gaping wound on the left sldo Just above tho collar bone. It bad completely severed tho aub-clavlcu Ur artory and bad penetrated tho apex of tho left lung. Could I.lvr but Little While. The fatal wound bad been delivered al most vertically. It was downward and for ward. A man could Uvo but a few mo rr.ents after such a wound. Tho cut was an Inch long and a quarter of an Inch wide. Formor Morguekoopcr John Walsh pro duced Day's blood-stained clothing and It was allowed In evidence. Alf. F. (lory told how he. with Ray L. Kvans and Guy Can- field, accompanied Hamilton to tho hotel after 1 o'clock In the morning. He saw- Day and his party playing billiards. He heard Hamilton spenk disparagingly of a mutual woman acquaintance. Hot words and a clinch followed. They wero sep arated and witness did not bco the second clinch. Ho saw Day stagger and fall after they had been separated. Hnmlltou had assaulted Day and tho latter had scorned to be preparing for It. On cross-exam lnatlon tho witness said he did not know what they had gono to the hotel for. Onry took tho stund ngaln after recess Ho admlttod hearing Kvans making wild threats against Force, threatening with ruths to cut his heart out. Kvans was In a fr my. Day and Hamilton, ho said, were n nndlng up when (Icorge separated them T' saw no knlfo In tho hand of cither, or rf anyone there. Ho had apologized to rco for Bvans' behavior nnd was about to juvo when ho saw Day stagger nnd fall ilamllton was half way across tho room Iwenty-flvo feet away from Day nt thnt time. Kvans had blond on his shirt and collar and was cut In tho head. Charles K. Force, secretary of tho North west LIfo association, wus tho next wltncsB, Ho told tho story of how ho was playing billiards with a party when Hamilton nnd his companions cumo and Hnmtlton nt onco became Involved In a hot dispute In which Day asked and Hamilton admitted that he had made a foul nccusntlon against Day to a "certain person." On crosB-cxnmlnntlon Force Bald tho party ho was with had had perhaps five roundu of drinks. Interest Center on (Irorise. A fenturo of the afternoon session was tho appearance of Fred H. George on th witness stand. Interest centered around th testimony of (Icorge, who told of tho clr cumstances succeeding tho quarrel of Ham llton and Dny ami of his rart In separating thorn. His testimony tallied In the main with that of Force. Tho evidence of both men was substantially the emtio ns that given at tho coroner's Inquest. fJeorgo stated positively ho had seen no knlfo during tho evening nnd did not know how he got cut on his hand or at what time. On croos cxamlnatlon Goorgo sntd the fact thai ho was hurt had not suggested to him that omeono else might have been cut. Tbcro wero others In the room. "My attention was next attracted to them when they cnuio together n second time, and the end of tho blllnrd table separated them again." "When 1 saw Hamilton nnd Day clinched a second time." explained Mr. George, "Hamilton had his. arm around Day's neck. No. I'll recall that. I don't mean to say thnt. I moan that ns they went down In a clinch Hamilton Was on top. I did not know anyone hut myself had been hurt,"' ho explained a second time.

ChlciiK" Millionaire Spent $::r,00 to Avoid I'nyliiK 7. Charles W. Fullerton, tho Chicago mil- Uonalre who died last week, was a roan who would stop at no expense to defeat thoso who he thought wero trying to tin- poso on or cheat him. Ho spent $25,000 four years ago .In building a prlvato water works on his Highland Park estate because tho town authorities overcharged him $7 on his water bill. Tho summer home of tho Fullcrtons at Highland Park is one of tho handsomest of tho neighborhood, relates the Chicago Intor-Occan, Tho grounds contain many acres along the Sheridan drive, nnd it was the hobby of Mr. Fullerton to ralso flowers and vegetables. To carry on this extensive gardening much wnter waB necessary. Mr, Fullerton had a veritable network of pipes with vents runnlns a few Inches below the surface throughout the garden, so that tho garden was never very dry, nnd plants and vegetables grew llko magic. Water charges were paid without a murmur until Mr. Fullerton beenme convinced thnt ho had been dvortaxed $7 on a certain bill. He protested to tho town authorities and somothlng was said about shutting off his wnter If he did not pay up. That was enough for tho millionaire. Ho declared he would Indulge his tastes Independently of an unreasonable town board, and ho did, regardless of tho cost. Residents of Hlchland Park were as- I founded ono day to see preparations for tho building of nn independent water worl begun on tho Fullerton cstato on tho lako shore. A largo wator main wbb laid far out Into tho lako, and a high tower erected n lltllu distance back from the bluff. A comploto system of mains nnd smaller pipes was iam, reacning every pan oi me estate. A dynamo was Installed In the water tower to furnish power to run pumping machinery tho extra space In the structure finished off Into bll lard and club rooms nnd tho tower was given ao orna- mental nn appearance as possible. Then an engineer was Installed and the town authorities wero notified to disconnect their ... muui mo runt-nun pruin-ny. ror lour years menu privoio worss nave supplied obundant water to tho Fullerton gardens. True, tho Interest on tho money lnvpstcd In the system amounted to more each year than tho water bills had In for- mor years, to say nothing of tho salary of the englnoor. cost of fuel and other ex- penscs. hut .Mr. i-ullcrtou had carried bis point anu no was willing to puy for it. be signed before a notary nnd must bo cor Ho had deprived tho town of an lllegltl- tlfiod to tho council by tho city engineer miuu revunuu mm uau anown uio town nu- thorltlos that ho could not bo trifled with, ana tnut was worm x.ooo to mm.

A num bcr of prominent men havo associated them' selves together and havo already acquired rich tin-bearing property In tho far-famed region of the Iilack Hills, In Dakota. The Intention is to erect custom concentrating plants nnd treat tho ores of mine owners generally, reducing them so that they con tain only block tin that Is, metallic tin and oxygen In combination and In this form ship tho product east for reduction Into metallic form. America now leads the world In tho pro ductlon of nearly nil menumorals, and it Is encouraging to nolo tbe fact that tin Is now likely to bo added to the list. Tho tlmo appears most propitious for such an enterprise, nB tho world's supply is rapidly decreasing, and tbo necessities of modern civilization make an Increasing demand; this has caused an Increase of over 100 per cent In tho price of block tin In three years. Tho consumption in tbo United States has Increased from 39,000,000 pouuds In 1894 to over 71,000,000 pounds last year, w-r.lle tne price has advanced from IS cents in 1597 to an average of 28 cents in 1900. This large increase in consumption has been caused by the great growth of the tlnplato Industry. The United States now leads tho world In this industry; all tho block or me- talllc tin, nowever, Is now Imported. With tno production of metallic tin in America the tinplate Industry will reallxe a greater impetus. Ilecent discoveries and examlna- tlons show that the tin deposits of South Dakota are among tho richest known, some containing twice as mucn of tno metal as Is contained In the celebrated Cornish mines, 11 Is also of a quality superior to most, neing exceptionally tree irom impurities.

Tho Omaha com- promise bill provides that the council shall order such Improvements as grading, pav- ingl etc., only when n potltlon purporting t0 bo signed by n majority of pronerty owners is presented. This petition must and city attorney. Tho certificates of these two officials must show that the noMHm, represents a mniorltv of the taxuhin fnm 'ntnge. A copy of the petition, with tbo names nnd descriptions of the property, n.usi DO puDlWticU In the Olllclal paper Of tho city for five consecutive days. This bill further provides that no Improvements shall be finally ordered or a contract let for tho same until after tho publication of the petition, nor until twenty days after such publication. Thus twenty dayB aro given for the filing of protests. After tho expiration of tbo twenty days protests can- not be filed nnd the legality of tho special tax levied for such improvement cannot be questioned. It is understood here that leading attor- neys have asserted that the Omaha bill in connection with this matter Is absolutely Ironclad and cannot be attacked in tbe courts with any effect after the provisions have been carried out by tbo property owners and tne city. This paving and grading proposition Is a serious one with South Omaha, as nearly every paving district In the city has been attacked and probably $160,000 In special taxes havo been declared lllcesl. One member of the council said yesterdny that It will bo necessary before long to Issue general Indebtedness bonds for tho uni noso of paying tho Interest and bonds on tho districts where tho court has held that tho special tax levy was vo.d. An effort Is being made by a larce num her of South Omaha citizens to secure the passage of a bill through the legislature providing for tho reassessment of the taxes in paving and grading districts where th tax has been held Illegal. It appears that a majority would like to see this measure passed In order that the property owners who have been benefited by the grading m" m mi iw aw m South Omaha Nw .

Members of tho Coopers' union deny thnt tho scalo Is any higher here than at other places nnd further thoy assert thnt they do not get steady tlmo.

Dr. Todd, a practicing physician of Ilurnwcll, S, C died about a month and a half ngo, re spected by all who knew his gentle charac ter. I bellovo ho was Mrs. Lincoln's second brother. Her sister was married to n Mr. Mooro of Bclma, Ala., nnd Mrs. Moore's daughters, nieces of tho martyr president, presented tv flag of their own handiwork to tho Bel ma Guards on the evo of their departure for tho Bcone of war. Another of Mm. Lincoln's brothers waa aldo-dc-camp, with the rank of colonel, on tho staff of General Sam Jones, a noted confederate officer. After tho buttle of Manassus tho southern army went Into win ter quartern nt Centervllle, Vn., nnd one nf tho regular visitors nt headquarters of tho Eighth Georgia regiment was Colonel Todd. Cards und conviviality were the chief attrncUon. A small game and u fa miliar Jug wero In attendance ovcry oven lng. Todd wnB Inclined, however, lo pro faulty and cro long tho officers nf the fa mous Georgia regiment wearied of his pres ence. Ono of his pleasantries wno to sjieuk disparagingly of "Old Abe," his brother-in-law, whom he mado thn butt nf Joko und Jest.

In this they wero usslsted by tho body sorvunt of Major S., a faithful negro of the name of Tippecanoe, called "Tip" for short. The tent wns warmed by a Btove, the pipe of which went horizontally through tho can vas at tho rent. Then, by means of mi el bow, ascended vertically to a point some three feet ubove tbo rldgo pole. At the slightest sign of distress Tip would slip out unobserved nnd place nn empty burrej on top of the pipe. All draught being shut oft tho Htovo would smoko furiously, soon filling the tent to suffocation. Todd would cough and choke awhile, "oubh out" th". Infernal apparatus and, remarking, "Well, I reckon I'll go to bed," depnrt for his quarters. The moment ho was out of sight Tip would remove the barrel nnd presently tho old stove would be doing Its pN'usnntcsi agan. If Colonel Todd Is allvo ho may read hero for the first lime of the diabolical plan of tho officers of tho Eighth Ocnrglu to send him to bed.
