Decision of Judge Wylie To-day. ‘THE MOTION TO QUASH THE INDICTMENT IN THE CASE OF THE FITZGRRALDS OVERRULED—A SIMILAR DE, CISION AS TO THE DEMURRER TO THE INDICTMENT IN THE CASE OF GOULD P. AUSTIN. ‘This morning, in the Criminal Court,Judge Wyle, delivered his opinion in the case of the United States agt. N. W. and 8. C. Fitzgerald, indicted for violating the postal laws by using the mails for an unlawful purpose, in furtherance of a scheme to defraud, in which case, on Saturday last, a motion to quash the indictment was argued by Messra R. G. Ingersoll and Mr. Bush for defendants and Dis- trict Attorney Worthington for the government. ‘The court said that the motion to quash is differ- ent fram a demurrer tn some respecta. In this case it was for error apparent on thegace of the indict- ment, and in that respect it was similar to a de- murrer, It was laid down that the motion should not be sustained unless the error is aj it, ES pecially an error in case of fraud, for that was a case of fact. ‘The court must assume that the gov- ernment will prove all the fraud set out, ‘THE COURT'S REVIEW OF THE ‘CASE OP MRS. LAKE. ‘The court then referred to the case of Mrs. Char- lotte A. Lake, the widow of one Traver, who died tn New York in June, 1886, of consumption, reading the averment in the first court and the same aver- ments more fully set out. Traver, It appears from these, was not discharged from the U. S. service on account of wounds received during the war, but died subsequently. The case was simply this:-— Mra. Lake was the widow of a soldier who died of consumption, and it was claimed that the soldier himseif was ‘hot entitled toa pension. ‘There was yo provision of law which gives a soldier in perfect health a pension merely for his service. Traver Was not entitled, and his widow made no applica- Uon, and lived in widowhood till 1869, when she married Lake. This claim was for arrears of pen- ston prior to her last’ marriage, but she could not be entitled to a pension. This being the condition of her case the Fitzgeralds hunted her up and informed her that she had better make application, which was done. After this they wrote to her for money, saying “the case fs in @ fair way for settlement,” using this vague lan- guage to raise her hopes, and they assured her that they paid special attention to cages when the fees were paid. It was an utterly void claim, got- ten up for the mere pretext of getting money from the widow, as charged. This is an outline of the charges it the indictment be true this was a ‘scheme, a contrivance to procure money from the applicagts. Whether this could be sustained was not now a question. Stich being the fact the next question Is WHETHER IT 18 A VALID INDICTMENT ‘under secuion 5460, Revised Statutes U.S., which provides a penalty for any one who attempts to use ‘the matls for the purpose of perpetrating a fraud. ‘The question was whether the United States could” prevent parties from using the malls todefraud itself when it iad the power to prevent its use by one man to defraud another. It had the power to declare what should be carried in the mails. He held this to be an offense against the United States, and there was full power under the statute to punish it. He then discussed the ques- lou WHETHER THIS WAS: AN ATTEMPT TO DEFRAUD. Common law did not punish lying, but if there Were false tokens used {t was punishable. He re- ferred to the statutes of Henry VITI and George IT as to false pretenses, giving no defnttion of the term. What amounts to fuise pretenses must be determined by a jury. He referred to Young’s case in 1793, in which the precise line of what constituted false pretences was left to a jury. He read from East's Second Pleas of the Crown, commencing at page #27, remarking that. modern books do not seem to have gone fully tnto ‘this subject. He thought that the reasons were ‘suflicient for him for overruling the motion. ‘THE CASE OF GO§LD P. AUSTIN. ‘The case of Gould P. Austin, undera similar in- dictment, in which a demurrer was filed, was taken up. The court safd it was different from that of the Fiugeralds, for the widow claimant had a valid claim of some $4,000, and the representations of Austin, who had been a clerk in the office. were that the allowance of the claim would be made when he made his report. He falsely represented that he Was a clerk, and,although he asked for no particular ‘Sum but left it to the widow, it Was a scheme, a false one, and his story was caleulated to deceive the Woman, who doubtless would have sent him a fee if the scherfie had been effectuaily carried out. On the face of the indictnent he concluded that these were offenses. He had very thoroughly examined the laws on the subject, aud he woujd overrule the demurrer. IN THE CASE OF THE v8. ‘Mr. Bush, for the Fitzgeralds, noted an exception to the rullngs of the court. District Attorney Worthington asked that the defendants be arraigned on Seturday, und the court directed that he give themmotice. —’ * The Raided Americus Yacht Club. ‘TESTIMONY OF WITNESSES IN THE POLICE COURT YES TERDAY—THE DEFENDANTS DISCHARGED. ‘The case of Isaac Jones and others, charged with keeping a gambling house at 413 13th street, was called in the Police Court yesterday afternocn, as Stated In Tum STAR. This 1s the case In which Ue defendants claimed that the rooms raided were the rooms of the Ainertcus Yacht club. Mr. Coyle, for the government, stated that after examining the witnesses he was compelled to enter a nolle yros. a3 to Isaac Jones, James Turton, Kei wood Vandergrift, Frank Sampson, Nicholas Sehne der, Joseph Davis, Chas. Morgan, Jerry. P. Jewell and Joseph Sturges on Ute charge'of maintaining a gaming table. He would, however, file an infor ination charging Jones with permitting a gaming table to be set. Upon this information, sworn tO by Detective Biock, the trial proceeded. TRSTIMONY OF THE POLICE OFFICERS. Detective Block, who was with the party who ratded the premises on the 18th tnst., testified that they saw a number of gentlemen looking rather abashed and several tables. Some of the men ap- peared to be looking at a book. Mr. Jones told wit hess that he was a part owner of the property. In he safe, which was afterwards opened by a lock- j Sinith, eiyployed by the pollee, were found a num- ber of ivory chips and two packs of cards and tray, ‘They were in a confused state. One of the chi was found bgoken, having apparently been caught between the door and frame. Several unopened | packs of cards were found, and also a toll box, in | which were a number of Blue chips. It was cus- | tomary to take a chip from every pot for thts | box. ‘There Was alsoa memorandum on which was pitten J. A. M., $50, January 18; J.A.M., $25; cards, Lieut. Austin, who wasn charge of the ralding ty, gave an Account of the raid, saying that they had reson to believe that the colored man Who an- swered the door bell sixnailed to’ those up stains, for they found a knob which was connected with & Dellin the rooms. He sald he saw no evidence of gambling. ‘The next morning he saw sone chips found inthe ‘umbrella stand, and fve packs of ca STORY OF THE COLORED PORTER. ‘Wm.

In the evening, and sat around reading the papers, talking about actors, &c. TESTIMONY OF FREQUENTRRS OF THE ROOMS. Joseph Davis, Charles Morgan, Joseph Sturgis, Jerry P. Jewell, Frank Sampson, Redwood Vander- griftand Nicholas Sehnetder, who frequented the Tooms, testified that they had never seen gatabiing there. Mr. James Farden testified The object of the club was yachting; that they had | sold the yacht Americus, but were negotiating to purchase another. ‘THR CASE DISMISSED. Mr. Coyle having closed his case stated that he could not consclentiously ask a conviction. The case having been dismissed, Mr. A. B. Williams, ‘saying that he represented the owner, Mr. James, asked a8 to the custody of the safe selzed by the police. Mr. Coyle sald the safe was In the custody Of the police, and that the law required that the articles should be destroyed. Mr. Williams sald the. safe was Withheld from the ‘marshal by the ice. | Judge Snell said he would decide the mat- to-day. JUDGE SNEIL’S DECISION AS TO CUSTODY OF THE SAFE.

The trade lost in France, it says, amounted to $19,000,000 per year, and was’ increas ing $5,000,000 annually before the prohibition edict Was Issued. Appended to the report are resolutions and memorials from the several states Interested, in stock raising, asking Congress to take some ac- {ion to suppress pleuro-pneumonta; and it concludes: with a statement prepared by Dr. D. C. Salmon, ¥eterinary surgeon of the Department of Agricul ture. ‘The doctor, in his statetnent,says that there are comparatively few diseased animals in this conntry, but that the danger of the disease becom. ing wide-spread was greater thin thelr number secmied to Indicate. MARYLAND AND THE DISTRICT. “In Maryland and the District of Columbia,” he says, “there are many infected herds in which a comparauvely large number of animals annually contract the disease. By direction of the commis- sloner of agriculture a reliable Inspector was sent to Baltimore late in October to learn the condition of the stables there as rewards this disease. Nine- teen stables, containing 39% animals, were exam- ined. In twelve of these the infection was ad- mitted; one had lost more than 200 animals within three Years; others had lost. heavily for years; twelve’ sick animals were found; eighteen recent deaths were admitted; and three sick cows had just been sold or exchanged. ‘This number of sta- les comprises Dut a smali part of those in the vicinity of Bulumore, but it ts belleved that the nuinber 1s suilictent to demonstrate the presence and dangerous character of tie disease.

A dispatch tothe Cleveland Herald from New- Texintgon, Ohio, says: In Rendville, on the Ohio Central rallrdad, about. te south of this place, Peter Clifford, of Corning, a brakeman, was called to the door of his dwelling, Saturday night, and shot, dyingina few minutes. The report 1s that he lived lot to tell who fired the fatal shot. Richard ‘and son, proprietors of a Mquor shop and low resort, were arrested andtaken, betore a magistrate of Rendville for a preliminary hearing. FORCIBLY TAKEN FROM THE MAGISTRATE. ‘While the examination was in progress twelve silent, steady, masked men walked up to the rail- Toad track from Corning to Rendvitle, a distance of about two miles, went to the magistrate’s om forcibly entered’ and took charge of the accus Ten, put a rope around the neck of the young man, hoisted him, and asl:ed him to confess.” He sald he did not ki’ Cuifford, but that his father was the guilty one, ‘The eidér Hickey was then drawn up twice and jet down, Each tme the maskers com- manded him to confess; but each time he protested Misinnocence.

He had sent from TringitNt to Calrv on urgent appeal for rifles to replace the old muskets. In reply lie recelved orders to try to force his way to ‘Tokar without delay. Ho Dewan the march expecting’ deteat. “On Monday afternoon 9 portion of the advance encoun- tered a body of Osman Dignas’ troops and a fight ensued which was more of arout than a battle. Baker formed a square, which the enemy surrounded. ‘The Test of the Egyptians then fled in confusion, and the gunners deserted thelr guns. Baker Pasha was several. times surrounded by the enemy, but with his staff managed to cut his way through, ‘The enemy's force Was inferior in numbers to Baker Pasha’s. Only three sides of a square were formed, owing to the faet that two coinpantes of the Egyptian troops stood ¢till, being overcome with fright. ‘The enemy poured into this gap, when the Egyptians threw away thelr rifles und Mung them- selves upon the ground, screaming for mercy. ‘The troops On one side of'the square Killed of thelr own men by wild firing.
