Conumnus, Onto, Nov. 5.—There is a hustling among the politicians to-day, and considerable excitement prevails, Betting is more general than at any previous election in the history of the city. The mayor has issued an order that all saloons must be closed to-morrow, and gives notice that any violators will be severely dealt with. The use of horns on the streets, which has become a great nuisance, is also prohibited. The greatest interest is manifested in the con- | gressional elections throughout the state. In this district Congressman Outhwaite will have hard time in getting through with anything ‘like a respectable majority, as the |the republicans have made a most | vigorous contest against him. The | Indications point to the election of the follow- ing-named republican Representatives: First district, Benjamin Butterworth; second district, John A. Coldwell; third district, E. 8. Wil- liams; seventh district, Henry L. Morey; eighth i bert P. Kennedy; ninth district, | Wm. C.’Cooper; eleventh district, H.C. Thomy | son; twelfth district, John Pugsley; fourteenth district, C.

Smyser; twenty-first district, T. E. Burton. The sixth, now represented by M. M. Boothman, and the seventh, represented by Jacob Romeis, are in doubt. The democrats will elect Yoder in the fourth; Seney in the fifth; Outhwaite (probably) in the thirteenth, and Owens in the sixteenth—a total of four. ‘They have, however, a fighting chance in two districts not put in the doubtful list, but noth- ing at all sure. —_____ PRAYING FOR LANGSTON. Remarkable Methods Employed in the Petersburg Congressional Contest. Special Dispatch to Tux EVENING STAR. Peterssure, Va., Nov. 5.—Brady, member of the republican national committee, has just in- formed Tux Star correspondent that the organ- ization created and perfected by him on behalf of Langston isthe most complete and far- reaching that the wit of a political manager has ever devised. He claims to have reached by direct personal solicitation every colored voter in the district, and to have made him the object of special exhortation and prayer from the church to which the voter, his wife, moth- er, or some near kinsfolk belongs. Yesterday, he says, was set apart by the colored clergy as - Cs devoted to the cause of the colored can- ey g SERMONS WERE PREACHED in every colored church in the district. Deacons and other dignitaries, heads of religious socie- ties, males and females, together with every — inclined man and woman, were ex- ected yesterday to express their souls’ sincere jesire for the election of Professor Langston to a seat in Congress, To-night the Colored Young Men’s Christian Association is to meet in Langston Hall, and with prayer, supplication, &c., will watch until morning, when with re- galia and banners they will march in a body to the polls, Toward this SOLIDIFICATION OF THE COLORED VOTE, the white republicans as well as democrats, have formed a solid hostile array, and in this city, where there are several hundred white republicans, only three white men are known to favor Langston. Should circumstances con- spire to favor it, row, either at the polls here to-morrow or on the day succeeding the election, attended with bl ed, is not an improbable expectation. Brady claims that the state on a fair ballot must go for Harrison, and that Langston will have a plurality of 2,000 or 3,000 in the district. ane Se INDIANA VERY EXCITED. Both Parties Claim the State and Charge their Opponents with Fraud. ‘THE FEELING 60 HIGH THAT TROUBLE IS EXPECTED TO-MORROW—SOME ARRESTS ALREADY MADE—A WARRANT WAITING FOR COL. DUDLEY. Special Dispatch to Taz Eventna Star. Ispuxarouis, Ixp., Nov. 5.—Chairman Hus- ton, of the republican committee, announces that the revised poll and the latest data in his make him confident of a plurality of 12,000 for Harrison, with six Congressmen certain and a majority of ten in the general assembly. He is confident and insists on these figures. Col. James H. Rice, an Indiana mem- ber of the national democratjc committee, said thisa.m.: “We will carry Indiana by 7,000 — and elect Congressmen in every Dis- except the sixth and ninth and possibly the cer Gene we concede — sixth and tenth.” Mr. 8. P. of the national democratic committee, and irman Jewett, of the state committee, corroborate Mr. Bice’s statement, and the democrats and re- publicans alike insist upon estimates which give each party an assured victory. FEELING RUNS HIGH TO-DAY, and the rumors of fraud at the polls to-morrow are so many that it is thought if both parties carry out the threats freely made at the present time and during the = lew days serious difficulties may ensue. close contest has led to an intense and bitter feeling of rivalry which needs only an — to create a panic.

Thess do not iffer Biro ag It is said that MANY ARRESTS ARE TO BE MADE of men in each party for conspiracy or attempts to defraud. The democrats have already begun this plan. Warrants for fumerous arrests have been issued and several alleged bribers have been placed under bond. A prominent citizen of Greenwood, a small town in this vicinity, Dr. Z. T. Carnes, was brought to the city last night by a deputy United States marshal on the charge of offering a man $15 for his vote. War- rants are also out for the arrest of two citizens of Greenfield and Zionsville on the charge of attempting to buy votes for the republicans, ‘These were arrested to-day. A number of NEGROES FROM WASHINGTON, brought here by the democrats, the republi- cans assert, are in the city for the pur- pose of voting the democratic ticket. ey are supposed to be more _ readily able to. do this from a republican standpoint, because they are ostensibly here in the interests of the republican ticket.

Both democratic and republi- can bgnmg gates Mr. Parke are peying for the transportation home of — and Maryland voters, He estimated that by to-night fully 2,500 people will have left Wash- ington for those two states alone. If the trans- portation of voters to New York, Indiana, or other states is paid, Mr. Parke said he did not know it. Associations might furnish the money to voters to buy tickets, and, of course, the railroad officials would know nothing of it. Mr. Parke said, in answer to a question, that he thought a great many Department clerks had gone home, “Are you sending any repeaters to New York and Indiana?” asked the Stan reporter. Mr. Parke smiled. “If there are any repeat- ers going,” he said, “we don’t know it. Every man who gets reduced rates has to have a cer- tificate like this from his association.” Mr. Parke took from a stand a printed blank, as follows: Nationat Rervstican LeaGue or Disraict oF CoLumBia. To Ticket A, wania Railroad, on Washington, D. C.: This certifies that is a bona fide voter in the state of , and is entitled to reduced round-trip rate to ——— and return, under agreement, Secretary tion Committee, “We do not go behind that,” said Mr. Parke. “Tf you bring a certificate we will sell you ticket and give you with it a certificate that will enable you to buy at the other end of the line a return ticket for one-third rate. In other words, we have reduced the rate for Voters to a fare and a third.” TAKING VOTERS TO THE WEST. Mr. Geo. Bond, the Washington agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio road, said to a Star re- porter that there were twice as many voters oo from Washington than ever before. His line, he said, had carried, and were carrying, pal ie numbers to Ohio, Ihlinois, aed Indiana, and to other points west of the Ohio River. They had taken home nearly all the Wash- ingtonian delegation to Indiana, Ken- tucky, and Tennessee, on account ‘of sell- ing return tickets for one fare, while other roads were ea! a fareandathird, The voters taken to Indiana, he said, were, so far as he could judge, principally democrats, More voters had gone from the Government Print- ing Office than from any two Departments. A good many republicans, Mr. Bond said, had gone to Illinois, TO MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA, “We'll have a heavy train up the Valley of Virginia to-night,” said the passenger agent of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. “Nearly all the Western voters who are going are gone, but to-day Maryland and Virginia voters are sone “Are the expenses of voters being paid by associations or committees?” asked Taz StaR reporter, “So far as I can see,” said the passenger agent, “that has been the case only in a few instances, The travel from here is unusually heavy. I believe every man here eligible to Nites in Maryland and Virginia has or will go ome,” “Do yon think any ropeaters are going?” “Every man who Ser Tian kaos toe voter on areduced ticket,” said the agent, “has to show a certificate that he is a voter. The rates are reduced for voters,” MORE THAN HE EVER KNEW BEFORE. “More than I ever knew before,” said the official in charge of the Piedmont Air Line office when a Star reporter asked him if many voters were going home. “There area great many going home to vote. I speak especially of places near Washington, Maryland and Vir- ginia.” AMONG THE LAWYERS. Politics was the subject discussed in the City Hall lunch room to-day among the lawyers, Several bluffs were made by the various mem- bers of the bar, but none of them were accept- ed until Mr. F. H. Mackey offered to bet $10 to $20 that Cleveland would carry the four doubt- ful states—New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. The bet was promptly accepted by Mr. Chapin Brown,who was willing to cover the amount several times, Others were willing to take bets df the same kind, but Mr. Mackey declined, explaining that he had previously made a bet and he only made this one for the purpose of hedging.

Witnesses To-Day Before the Court of Inquiry. NEW CIVIL-SERVICE RULES. Military | Amendments Adopted by the President To-Day. THEY TELL HOW THR ARCH WAS KEYED Ix| The President to-day approved a number SOME PLACES WITHOUT CEMENT—HOW DRY STONE WAS THROWN ON TOP OF TRE ARCH FOR PACKING, AND HOW IN SOME CASES THERE WAS NOT EVEN DRY PACKING, ONLY A HOLE OVER THE BRIOK TUNNEL LINING, The corridor outside of the new offices of the Secretary of War held a number of yawning men this morning, waiting for the opening of the tunnel court of inquiry, before which they had been summoned as witnesses. STORY OF HENRY LAYOOCK, A BRICKLAYER. Proceedings were opened at 10:90 o'clock by the calling of Henry Laycock, who stated that he was about thirty-nine years old, and had worked as a bricklayer for twenty-three years, having learned his trade in England. He be- gan work in the tunnel in May, 1887, and con- tinued until the work closed down, in Septem- ber of that year. He first worked in the Rock Creek heading, east, for all the time except during two weeks, when he was shifted over to Howard University, He did no work in 1888, His work was on the side walls and the arch. The bricks used were good, but the mortar va- ried. BRICKS AND STONES THROWN IN WITHOUT MORTAR. The workmanship in the brick work, he said, also varied; some of itin the keying, under Dorsey, was bad, the bricks being thrown in dry in the upper rings. Witness was some- times taken off the work because he did not push fast enough. The packing on the side walls was thrown in- dry, without = ay to regularity and without any effort at laying. He had never seen any mortar used. Over the arch there was some dry packing, and some- times there was no packing at all. Witness never sawany mortar used at allin the pack- ing. The stones, of all sizes, were thrown in and stopped wherever they could. “The pack- ing over the key, if any was put in at all, was all put in dry,” remarked the witness. Some- times they would pack over one bay and some- times two. During the daytime the packing was generally. done over one bay at a time. tui worked about half of the time at nig! SPACES OVER THE ARCH WITHOUT PACKING AT ALL. At night the packing was usually done over more than one bay, The spaces left without any packing varied from 1 to 6 feet high, and often 14 feet long. On the sides, at night, a greater part of each center left without packing. One center was finished in the day and one in the night. Sometimes but one cen- ter was completed altogether. The day in- Heel wae named Boyce, but witness forgot the name of the night inspector. The inspec- tors did but little save standing around, Boyce has several times seen the spacee left, but al- ways ordered them packed up. These spaces were always left when the inspector was away. Witness never heard anyone giving orders to leave the spaces, but he heard Dorsey tell the men to let it go. meaning to go ahead with the brick work without waiting for the packing. Subcontractor Emory often saw the spaces left. Chief Inspector Kirlin came through the tunnel about once a day, and usually stood looking at the ‘workman, but witness never heard him give any orders. During the two weeks witness spent at the university heading, witness worked on the arch both in the day and night time, about equally divided. The pecking was done similar to that done at Rock Creek. He did not know who the inspector was. Sub-Contractor Emory was around the work frequently, and at night used to tel] the men not to bother about put- ting cement in the peace In the day time the stones were packed more solidly. KEYING AN ARCH WITHOUT MORTAR. Upon questioning by Col. Hodges witness said that he had seen the keying in the arch in the two upper courses laid without mortar along the entire length of a center. Inre) uying to Col. Craighill Laycock said that he applied for work himself to Sub-Contractor Emory. He received @5 per day, the ordinary wages. ‘The witness was asked by Dorsey to lay the keying without mortar, but would not do it. He did not consider the dry packing, as done, good work, No hammer was ever seen used, Witness had never seen “grout” used ert is very thin mortar, poured in). ie packers were common’ labor- ing men. Upon cross-examination by Lieutenant Townsend witness said that the side walls were built up so high before the packing was put in (about $3¢ feet) that the acker could not reach to the last layer of pack- ing. MICHAEL DORSEY ON THE STAND. After a long series of questions by Lieut, Townsend, developing nothing of im; the witness was discharged and Michael Dor- sey, a brick-layer, was ealled. He said he started work in the middle of June and worked until —— 1885; then he worked about two mon during the fall and win- ter of 1887, he thought. In 1885 he was in the Champlain avenue west heading, doing brick-work on the invert, side walls, and the arch, Sub-Contractor Em was foreman of the gang and laid bric The bricks were good and the mortar varied in quality, but when it was poor complaints were made and the mortar would be improved. The workmanship was good. The invert was two-ring work, laid on concrete. Sometimes witness observed the packing. At the time referred to the side packing was rtd stones, thrown in loosely, and over the arc! the same way. In the Creek east shaft the brick work was good. Some of THE PACKING WAS “MIGHTY BAD,” with holes 10 feet square left. The inspector's name was Woodward, who left about three days after witness came to work. Some of the stones were laid in cement and others were not. In some places about 2 feet of stones would be laid and then a couple of buckets of mortar would be dashed around. The packers were laborers, Whenever there wasachance the peaking over the keying was left to the end of e Noy cep — then leet ee be blocked yy 6 roof, givin, @ solid appearance.

Dennis Wren was the next witness sworn. He said that he is a laborer, and has been em- ployed on the aquduct tunnel, beginning work on the Howard University heading about three years ago, and worked there all the times when there was work there up to this year, After- ward he worked on both of the nue headings, and on was a packer.

He has been stumping in New York state and Penn- sylvania for Cleveland. He said to a Star re- porter this afternoon: “T think Cleveland is going to be elected, but, by the Lord Harry, we are not so far out of the woods that we can shout much!

A DAY OF DOUBT. The Campaign Closed and Nothing to do Now but to Wait for the Keturns. The politicians have all left Washington to- day. They have all gone home or to New York to take a closer view of the canvass. The few people of prophetic minds still abut the hotels and departments are not anxighs to risk their reputations by guessing on thé election so near at hand. Interested parties waver between doubt, anxiety and over-confidence. This is true of both sides. The time of high intellec- tual discussion, the period of public parade, the few last days for sensations and roorbacks, have all passed, each in turn, Now there is nothing left but the trickery and “boodling” that is supposed to occur the night before and on the morning of the election. Here at Wash- ington even talking is not profitable, and there is nothing to do but to wait as calmly as pos- sible for the returns, Rettirns, as announced elsewhere, will be received at the various club headquarters and other public resorts. THE ELECTRIC WIRE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. There is a special wire in the White House at all times, and on election night the operator will be on hand to receive the Associated Press reports and such private dispatches as maybe sent to the President from Brice and others. It is expected, of course, that the President and Col. Lamont will remain at the White House late to-morrow night. AT REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS THEY THINK THE REPUBLICANS WILL HAVE THE NEXT HOUSE. ASrar we rnd called at the headquarters of the Republican National League this after- noon and found everything in a quiescent state, Mr. McPherson, secretary of the republican congressional Committee. had gone home to vote, saying that he would be back by to-mor- row night. Major Cook, second in charge, said that all been done, and that they were jsimply clearing’ out the rubbish to-day. They have done a great deal of work during the canvass, and believe that good results will follow to-morrow. The estimate of those who have been active throughout the canvass is that the republicans will certainly have a ma- jority in the next House of Representatives, cas eee HOW INDIANA WILL GO. A Cincinnati Enquirer Correspondent Thinks the Democrats will Carry it by aSmall Vote. Ino, T. Carthy, special correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer at Indianapolis telegraphs the Washington bureau of that paper as fol- lows: “The highest poll of republicans gives them the state by 8,200. The most careful democratic estimate shows 13,238 majority for Cleveland. Democratic reports to the demo- cratic committee show that almost every work- shop owned by republicans will be closed down Tuesday. The influence exerted by that, you are ascapable of judging as myself. Demo- crats are on to it, and will endeavor. to offset. Were I to bet, it would be that the state would go democratic by a small vote.” WAS SHE MURDERED? The — a Watson by Drown- ing. FREDERICK BARBER, HER PARAMOUR, ON TRIAL ON A CHARGE OF THROWING HER FROM A BRIDGE IN GEORGETOWN, CAUSING HER DEATH, In the Criminal Court this morning, before , | Judge Montgomery, the case of Frederick Bar- ber, acolored man, indicted for the murder of Agnes Watson, a colored woman, on June 234 last, was placed on trial—Messrs. D. E. Cahill and A. W. Ferguson for the defendant, and Messrs. Lipscomb and Mullowney, assistant district attorneys, for the Government. Bar- ber is a stout-built colored man ‘about thirty | years of age, and it is alleged that having lived on terms of intimacy with the deceased in Georgetown, he left her for another woman. That on the night in question she went after him to get him to return, and that when ona bridge, in Georgetown, he seized her, and throwing her into the canal, she was drowned. The defense is that her death was an accident, she having fallen overboard. The selection of a jury was at once proceeded with, but when the list had been called the jury was incomplete and a recess was taken tol o'clock. The clerk was directed to draw the names of fifty talis- men, to report at that hour, ‘THE JURY COMPLETED. $ The following jury was secured at 2 o'clock: Henry L. Frazier, Alfred Worch, W. H.

Why They Have Confidence—Democrats and Republicans Both Give Reasons. It is evident from conversations with demo- cratic and republican partisans that the ex- pressed feeling of confidence on each side ie not assumed for purposesof bravado, The democrats argue that as Cleveland was elected four years ago with the power of the republi- can administration against him he must be stronger now with the prestige of success and nearly four years of a successful administre- tion. They also say that the states of New York, New Jersey and Indiana are really demo- cratic, and that there is every inducement for them to remain in the line now. The republicans th; the tariff fase to win for them. Mucky chiet argue willing to surrender the principle of protection e to ‘American industries, m7 that the quiet, ef- fective vote will be for their ticket. When it comes to figureseach side can calou- late votes enough, as can any individual, for there is no restriction in counting votes before they are cast. ewe TABERNACLE SOCIETY.

He had noticed in such societies that frequently the members grew tired. He was glad to know that was not true in this in- | stance, and why should it be true, he asked, | when the work was _ There was no rea- son to weary of well doing. He referred to the resence of Father Clark, who, with Father McGurk, of St. Aloysius, was present, and whom he said was a lifelong friend. He spoke of an instance in the career of Father Clark, who, by a strong appeal, succeeded im replacing the vessels of brass on the altar with vessels of gold set with diamonds. He spoke of the condescension of the Lord in leaving the splendor of heaven to come down and abide in e surroundings provided for Him in the pov- erty of human means.
