Accordingly the President has tesued the following yhs governing the subject: Bach Territory shall, if included within the pro- visions of said act, annually receive arms, ord- Rance stores, quartermaster’s stores, and camp equpage eqr lent to the quota of a state having the least representation “in Congress, and the District of Columbia shall annually receive arms, ordnance stores, quartermaster’s store, and camp equip) not exceeding double the quota of a ‘State having the least representation in Congress Arms, Ordnance stores, “quartermaster’s, stores and camp equipage Shall be issued to the Territo- ries, on requisitions of ee ‘thereof, and to the District of Colum! on juisitions pore by the senior general of the District mill- la present for duty, Returns shall be made annu- ally by the senior general of the District militia in the manner as required by sections 3 and 4 of the act above referred to in the case of States and Territories.

By these regulations the District militia will re~ ceive four times the amount previously allotted to it for that purpose, which was only about $1,400. ‘The militia appropriation bill last year ‘was doubled, making it $400,000 instead of £200,000, Formerly it was customary to give the District and Territories the quota allowed the smallest State, but by virtue of the power given the Presi- dent in the second section of the bill to distribute the money to the District and Territories under such regulations as he may deem best, he has given to the District double the amount’ allowed the State having the least representation in C gress, thereby inaking the District's share four Uthes what it used to be, or obout $5,600, The District_ organizations will be enutied to draw arins, ordnance stores, quartermaster’s sores, and camp hr on requisition approved by the senlor general present on duty, ‘This action 1or the benefit of the District. mili- ‘tia was taken upon the strong recommendation of General Benet, chief of ordnance, and General Ordway Was also active in bringing about Unis sat~ isfactory result.

Special Assistant Attorney Padgett has decided that while the law of 1864 pronibits the keeping open of places of business on Sunday, the sale of an article does not constitute an offense, This opinion was elicited by a communication from District Assembly No. 68, Knights of Labor, to the District Commissioners, asking that@heir order in regard to the Sunday law be extended to prohibit the delivery of ice on Sunday. ‘Mr. Padgett says: “Should the proprietors ot ice-houses keep the same open for the sale of ice they violate law, The delivery of ice from ‘wagons Is not prohibited by the law, and I know of no way-to prevent the same. I do not think that {ce is a necessify within the meaning of the ‘At the same time the above-mentioned communt- cation was referred. to Mr. tt a letter from ‘the Journeymen Bakers’ Assem!

R. ‘Turnbull, November 25, 1882, was continued in the Criminal Court, Judge Montgomery, to-day. ‘Mrs, Mary Capells, now of New York, testified that she was the housekeeper at the St. Marc, in 1882; ‘hat her room was on the fourth foor; was in her room the night of the shooting; heard some loud talking, some 20 minutes before the shooting; went in the room after the shooting; there were 4 chairs, a bed, bureau and small table in the room.

Slade, of Colum- bia, Pa., who testified that in 1883 hé had a con Yersation with Mrs. Angney in which she said Wilmot was the cause of all her troubles. Cross- examined—Witness wrote the interview and sent it tothe Lancaster Examiner. Angney was present at the time, and witness, after asking him about the affair, was refered ‘by him to his wife. This closed the testimony on both sides. ‘MOTION TO STRIKE OUT TESTIMONY. The district attorney moved that the testimony of Mr. Doyle be stricken out. Mr. Doyle testified ‘othreats made by Wilmot in Philadelphia after shooting, and the Government claimed that Phan noe Men shown Ghat they had. been come Mine defense said chat they had not claimed that Rambo told Angney, but that Rambo told other parties, and from them it finally reached Anguey.
