L.J. TOMPKINS. + CLANCY on the Stand. The twelfth juror was accepted yesterday in the case of Edward CLARK, on trial in Buffalo for murder on charge of killing Kittie HOUSEMAN, who once lived in Batavia and Le Roy. In opening the case of Assistant-District-Attorney PENNEY said that the prosecution expected to prove that CLARK killed the woman with a railroad brake key. Arthur ROCKWOOD, a civil engineer, exhibited plans of the room in which the woman was murdered and Dr. NASH, post-mortem examiner, and Dr. HALLER told about the woman's injuries. On the cross examination Frank A. ABBOTT, CLARK's attorney, endeavored to make the doctors say that the fracture in the woman' s skull might have been caused by a fall. Thomas CLANCY, who was with CLARK and the woman on the night of the murder and who discovered the body the following morning, was on the stand a long time. He said the woman lived with him for a time on two occasions and acknowledged that he had struck her, but said he never knocked her down. He had heard CLARK threaten to kill the woman and also threaten to kill him because of jealousy. He played cards and drank beer with CLARK and the woman on the night of the murder. After he retired to his room he thought he heard some one cry "Murder!" and he went to CLARK's room. The door was locked and all was quiet inside. Coroner KENNEY and Patrolman PYNE were the other witnesses called yesterday. + Spring Millinery Opening. Miss L.J. TOMPKINS's spring millinery opening is in progress today and will continue tomorrow. The store has been crowded all day with representatives of the fair sex who have feasted their eyes upon the dazzling display of colors in all the newest things in millinery. Flowers of the most beautiful shades are to be seen everywhere and a reporter learned that they are to be used more than ever before this season. The color which will be used most, perhaps, is yellow, the shades of which range from the lightest corn to burnt orange. Turquoise, too, will be used much. Dotted malines will be much in evidence for trimmings. Some of the shapes of the pattern hats are very unique, while others are revivals of old styles, such as the Shepherdess. One large double-deck case is filled with novelties imported from Paris including flowers of great beauty, braids, berets and ornaments. This display is the largest and finest that Miss TOMPKINS has ever shown and it is safe to predict that her customers will give substantial evidences of their appreciation of her enterprise. The young lady who occupies the corner show window is fair to look upon. She is attired in the latest colorings and her hair is dressed in the latest style. In preparing for the opening Miss TOMPKINS has added another room to her already large and complete establishment. It is a cosy and tastily furnished little apartment where hats may be tried on in privacy. + Low Rate Excursions to Washington.
