SUPREME COURT AND THE MARGMAL RESENTS IT—SARAH ALTHEA HILL THE CAUSE AND SEE ‘WITNESSES THE SHOOTING, Latmnor, Oat, Ang. 14—Upon the arrival of the southern overland train here at 7:20 o'clock this morning United States Supreme Judge Stephen J. Field and Deputy United States Marshal David Nagle walked into the depot dining room for breakfast and sat down side by side, Soon after Judge David 8. Terry sud wife (formerly Sarah Althea Hill) came in. They were proceeding to another table when Mrs. Terry, evidently recognizing Justice Field, did not sit down, but fetired to the train for some unknown purpose. Before she reached it, however, and as soon aa she had left the dining room, Judge Terry approached Justice Field and stooping over him slapped his face. At this juncture Deputy Mar- shal Nagle arose from his seat and shot Judge Terry through the heart, As he was falling the deputy marshal fired again,but missed him, the bullet going through the floor. Both shots were fired in very quick succession. TRE JUDGE NEVER UTTERED A SOUND after being shot. He had hardly fallen when Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of his body and threw herself upon him. Then ensued a scene of the wildest excitement. People rushed from the dining room and others rushed in. During this time Justice Fieldand Deputy | fri Marshal Nagle retreated to asleeping car where they were securely locked within. At times Mrs, Terry would call upon the citizens to ar- rest them. Before the train pulled out Con- stable Walker entered the sleeper and was carried away on board the train. He informed the crowd thathe knew his duty and would perform it. During the time the train was stand- ing at the depot Mrs, Terry was running wildly, alternately from the body of her husband to the sleeper, demanding admittance that she might slap Justice Ficld’s face, and at the same begging that they be detained and have their examination here. Previous to the entrance of Constable Walker into the sleeper Sheriff Purvis and deputy of Stain slaus county had already taken charge of Deputy United States Marshal Nagle. Ge THE MAHONE PEOPLE WIN. Lively Times at the Petersburg Conven- tion To-day. Special Dispatch to Tat Evextno Stan. Prrenssuna, Va., Aug. 14,.—That the politi- cal dissonsions existing in the republican party have not been healed by the conference re- cently held in Washington with the national committee is evidenced by the stormy and dis- graceful scenes witnessed at the republican pri- mary meetings held last night, which were at- tended by Mahonites and anti-Mahonites, These meetings were held for the purpose of elect- ing delegates to @ city convention to elect delegates to the republican state convention to be held in Norfolk on the 22d instant. There were disturbances at all of these meetings, with one or two exceptions, and but for the timely presence of the police there WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS RESULTS, In the fifth ward a colored man was struck on the head with a brick and quite painfully in- jured. Both factions got out delegates to the city convention, which met today at noon at the court house. The delegation of the Mahonites got possession of the court room, where the convention was held and two Officers were placed at the door with instruc- tions to allow no one to enter except the Mahonite delegation, excluding even members of the press. @ anti-Mohanite delegates ap- plied for admittance to the convention, but were refused and they became very indignant, THE CONVENTION WAS ORGANIZED by the election of Dr. D. May chairman and W. W. Evans, editor of the Virginia Lancet, secretary. Aftes the Convention had been organized a committee on credentials was ap- pointed, before whom the anti-Mahone dele- gation were invited to appear and state ae their rights to seats in the Convention. Tne invitation was accepted by a few of the contesting ——— the others reteing. to appear before the committee. Those who ay peared before the committee were refused ad- mittance to the convention. The convention elected six white and six colored delegates to the state convention. Gen. William Mahone and Gen. Stith Bolling are two of the delegates elected. The anti-Mahone delegates will pro- bably hold a convention of their own and it delegates to the state convention, romans eaapeNT A BUILDING COLLAPSES. Several Men Buried in the Ruins—Two Known to be Killed. Curcaco, Aug. 14.—A building at the corner of Clinton and Van Buren streets collapsed this morning, and several men were buried in the ruins, It is rumored that two and possibly three men were killed. It is not known how many were injured. The work of clearing out the debris has commenced, and until it is com- pleted the facts concerning the loss of life and the numbered injured caunot be learned. ‘The names of the victims so far exhumed are Joseph Hopp, Halstead and Indiana Streets, killed. Nick Sever, 148 Cornell stree! ra The structure that fell was the old n building which was gutted by fire several weeks eet one man was killed and one seriously in- jJured by the falling wall at Van Buren and Clinton streets this morning. Jos. Papp, a laborer, was on the sidewalk when the accident occurred and was instantly killed by the mass of brick, which fell about 60feet. His remains are terribly mutilated, Nicholas Stever was employed as a driver for the West Side brewing company and was driving up Van Buren street when the wall fell. The wagon was totally wrecked, one of the horses killed, and Stever badly injured, his hip being crushed and his back hurt, besides being bruised about the head and shoulders, A party of brick masons at work on the fourth floor had a narrow escape. At the same timea section of the wali fell into the street another section fell into the building where the men were at work. In some way the timbers fell with the wall, formed a bridge and saved them from what must have proven “certain death. Three masons were covered by the debris, but were gotten out and found to be not seriously hurt. The cause of the acci- dent they ss. Boer been exami now safe an: for re- building. At investigation wil be made. erga MORE ELIXIR EXPERIMENTS. A Wilmington Physician Has Twenty Patients on His List.

GREAT INTEREST IN THR GELECTION OF THE CA+ DIDATE FOR GOVERNOR—UNCRATAINTY AB TO THE PLATYORM—WHAT THE LEADERS SAY—OPEX~ hd ecRkes oF THR CONVENTION. ‘Special Dispatch Tue Evewne Stan: Brtawoxp, Va., Aug.—One of the hardest, Closest political battles, it is believed, ever waged in the state will be fought between now and the Sth of November. The determination Of the demoorats to meet & well equipped and powerful enemy is shown by the unusually large proportion of delegates appointed present, ‘The number present will not fail far short of the allottment of 1 to every 100 voters or 1,520, in November not only will be elected governor, Heutenant governor and attorney general, but one half of the membership of the Senate and the 100 members constitating the house. With tne legislators, however, this convention has nothing to do; that is, in the way of putting candidates in the field, but beh has to do setting the party machinery in motion, ry mis , framing ® platform, and ¢hoosing THE STATE CHAIRMANSHIP. Next in importance to the nomination for ¥ governor is the choice of chairman of the state | th: and executive committee, Mr. John 8. Bar- bour, having been elected to the United States Senate and having a him many C duties belonging to that position will address the convention and then ask tobe relieved. Who will be his successor bus not as yet been decided. The one most spoken of is Mr. Basil Gordon, who is nowsick and unable to attend the convention. ASPIRANTS FOR GUBERNATORIAL HONORS, Unless a very dark horse wins the prize the next democratic candidate for governor will come from among the following six names: Phillip W. McKinley, Richard F, Beirne, Chas. T. O'Ferrall, fohn T. Harris, J. Hoge Tyler, and Samtel W. Venable. Each one was seen by the correspondent of THE Sran as to what he considered his strength and prospects to be, All were found hopeful, in cheerful spirits and surrounded by hosts of lends, Each one has a list of certain supporters, and if all get the full number claimed, the number of mem- bers present will amount to nearly 3,000 instead of 1,500. Allof the candidates, with one exception, have their rooms ut tho Exchange and Ballard, in which they receive, entertain and confer with their friends. The exception is Major Hoge Tyler, who is domiciled at Ford’s hotel. At their head- quarters they receive reports from all sections of the state as delegates come in, and here it is that they advise with their friends as to what steps to take in the friendly fight, which has waxed warm indeed. The majority of the mem- bers of the statecommittee and other leading democrats from all parts of Virginia are also stopping at the Exchange, and both the lobbies and the apartments of the candidates have pre- sented a busy and bustling scene during the lnst two days, ‘A PERPIEXING QUESTION, Whatshall the platform be? is a question which is receiving much attention and varied expressions of opinion, It is a perplexing question and one that the republicans are much interested in the solution of, Itis well known that democrats differ on the tariff question and how they will arrange the differ- ence is to be seen. In all probability they will adopt the national democratic plank of 1884, or, as one of the candi- dates says, come into a broad field with numerous outlets where all can stand. Indica- tions are this morning that the tariff will be eschewed upon the ground that it is a state and not a national affair, WHAT PROMINENT LYADERS SAY. A Srar correspondent made it a purpose to ascertain the views of many of the leading lights here on the ground, and the following are the views of a number of them: Senator Barbour says: ‘We are not the national democratic party, and consequently not making a platform for the United States. All that is essential is to adopt such a platform of Principles as will best romote Virginia's interests and the wel- fare and prospects of the state. So far as the is concerned we might demand that the onerous taxes of the United States government be reduced and the internal Tevenue systea abolished. So far as the state debt is concerned, the democratic ‘ty is bound in good faith by their reso- ution. heretofore adopted in ‘all conven- tions since 1883—the Riddleberger settle- ment. Ldon’t see any necessity for men- tioning the color question in the platform. If the colored vote is massed allon the repub- lican side by their own free actions they have bs x, at the color line themselves.” Ex-Congresesman Harris said: “I think the platform vught to be on the general line of the platforms of the party in the past, and should embrace the same subjects, and while there may be differences of opinion among Demo- crate as to certain measures, it ought to be catholic and broad enough for all Democrats to stand on, and so constructed as to be offensive Gen, James ©. Hill, railroad commissioner, said: “I think as little should be in the platform as possible, and the whole thing should be generalized and the tariff eschewed.” Mr, James McGavock of Wythe said: “There should be darned little platform. i'm in favor of eek a. good man and letting him speak out for himself on the stump. We don't want any tariff business in the southwest in the platform.” PRELIMINARY PROCEEDINGS, Last night a joint meeting of the executive and state central committees was held, over which Senator Barbour presided. The following committee—one member from each congressional district—was appointed to recommend the temporary officers of the con- yention: P. A. Krise, W. A. Jones, R. R. Pren- tiss, Conway R. Sands, ‘Alexander Hamilton, Harry Wooding, Dr. 8. H. Moffett, Henry Hea- ton, A. M. Bowman, and Edward Echols, The committee retired for a few minutes and reported the following: For temporary chair- man, Judge James W. Marshall of Craig; secre- tary, Hon. Wm. Lovenstein of Richmond; ser- nt-at-arme, Thos. B. Hicks of Richmond, ‘he report was adoptedafter being so amended as to provide for two secretaries, with Mr. Scott as Mr. Lovenstein’s assistant. The Convention Assembles. ‘The convention met in Armory hall today at 12.15 o'clock to nominate candidates for the state ticket, consisting of governor, lieu- tenant governor and attorney general. United States Senator John W. Bar- bour, chairman of the state committee, ad- vanced to the front of the | re and made a twenty minutes’ speech, at the conclusion of which he introduced Hon. Jas. W. Marshall of Craig as temporary chairman. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Hoge, Chairman Marshall made a ten-minutes speech, one which he mentioned the name of Grover Cleveland, which was rap- brokerage wren His allusion to Gov. Lee, Lieut, Gov. Massie and Attorney General Tis were also received with manifestations of de- light. —— PRIZE} FIGHTER INDICTMENTS. Presentments Against Sullivan and Fitzpatrick.

The demon of unrest seems to have taken entire possession of Maurice Adler and unless there is @ speedy amelioration of the weari- some condition in which the wounded man now is he will pass the brief remmant of his days in the midst of such discomfort as fortunately eflicts but few human beings.

Dr. J, Ford Thompson and Dr, MeBlair called this morning to see the wounded man, but they did not remain long; there is noth- ing they can do for the ferer. Adler’s temperature this moi 108 8-10 degrees; hif pulse had gone vj to 124 and his respiration had increseed to But little dependence, however, can be placed on the action of his pulse as an indicator. A little excitement, a peevish spell, an ungrati- fied wish and up go the number of heart-beata, A brief slumber epell and it drops down toa fairly reasonable figure, A NEW FEATURE made its appearance last night. One of the attendants had persuaded the wounded man to take a littie champagne, but before he would drink it he asked to have the bottle shown him 80 that he might examine the label. He objects to drinking any other than the imported “fizz.” The bottle was placed right before his face, but he said he could not see it, A watch was then put quite close to his @ and the lights were turned up, but he failed utterly to see the timepiece, although he could distinctly hear its ticking. This morning his vision was once more clear but HIS MIND 18 EVIDENTLY A WRECK. Occasionally there are lucid intervals, but they are rare, and most of the time when he is awake he cries and asks for things which he does not want It is @ common occurrence for him to ask for something and when it is brought to insist that he never asked for it at all. Fre- quently he wants something but cannot think of its name, and then the attendants have to _— ind to keep on guessing until he says, “That's it,” Last night one of Adler’s friends, who has been out of the city for some time, called at the house and was permitted to see his old ac- quaintance. Adler manifested an extraordi- nary amount of interest in the happenings which marked his friend’s vacation and was quite bright for awhile, ALL HOPE DEPARTS, Neither the doctors nor any of the members of Adler’s family are hopeful as to the result of this penenee struggle. None of them believe it possible that the patient will recover. Adler himself has not said anything on that subject for some time and, so far as any one else knows, still entertains the idea that he will be victorious in the strife; that he will live to sce Ward tried for assault with intent to kill, From the first he has held that he would re- cover, and even when Assistant District Attor- ney Armes called to take his ante-mortem atate- ment on the day after the shooting he would not admit that he imagined he was in the face of death. Dr. J, W. Bayne at that time assured Adler that the wound wasa mortal one, but Adler refused to believe him and in- sisted that he could fight his way back to health and strength. Since then no one has intimated to the wounded man that the fatal ter- mination of the case was drawing near andit is hardly probable that any one will tell him now. If the truth were to be og ge on his enfeebled mind at this time the chances— almost a certainty—are that he would colla and be a corpse inside of twenty-fonr hours. The indications now are that the surgeons’ prog- nosis, that dissolution would take place while the patient is in a comatose condition, will be fulfilled in a little while. ———_— DISTRICT GOV. MENT. SEWERAGE IN ANACOSTIA. A petition bearing the names of the residents and property owners on Jefferson, Taylor and Adams streets, Anacostia, was presented to the Commissioners recently requesting that asewer be laid in Anacostia from near the corner Jeffergon and Taylor streets to the corner of Adams and Jackson streets, This sewer was estimated for last year. In his report upon the subject Captain Lusk says that the amount available for suburban sewers will make possi- ble the construction of only one-half as much of the sewer on Adams and Jackson streets as was estimated for last year. He recommends that the upper section be constructed first in order to protect the surface work recently done on Adams and Jefferson streets. RESIGNATION ACCEPTED. The Commiasioners have.accepted the resig- nation of M. J. Foley, superintendent of alley cleaning. This is the place to which ex-Lient. Arnold is shortly to be appointed. THE SEWER PIPE QUESTION, The Commissioners today submitted the question of purchasing the sewer pipe over which there has been so much controversy to the controller with the question whether they could legally buy the sewer pipe in open market. THE TAX WILL NOT BE CANCELLED. Messrs. Edwards & Band, as attorneys for Weller & Repetti, recently requested the can- cellation of an alley paving tax, for the reason that said tax was omitted from a collector's cer- tificate, on the faith of which Messrs, Weller and Repetti bought alot. While the work was done March 30, 1887, the assessment was | completed September 13, 1888, and hence di ‘not appear on the certificate, which was dated September 1, 1887. The district attorney gave opinion that the work had not reached the thage of a tax until assessed, and therefore there is no tax to be omitted. The Commis- sioners have decided to take no action in the matter. es The Potomac Regatta. The regular regatta of the Potomac athletic club took place yesterday afternoon in front of their beautiful club house, and, like all pre- vious affairs given by the club, was at tended.

RELIEVED OF HIS BADGE. A Colored Special Policeman Held for Obtaining Money by False Pretences. Hamilton Vass, who has for some time been @ trusted guardian of the public peace in Georgetown, was detained at police head: ters today while a case of ‘false pretences” was being investigated, in which he was suspected Was} to have been the culprit, Vass is a colored man who has for @ long time worn the badge of 2 special policeman, and was em- ployed to watoh the property of citizens during the night. He made quite a reputation as an officer, for not only did he look for burg- lara, but he made many arrests for disorderly conduct and similar offenses. 4 COUNTRYMAN SWINDLED, It appears that last Monday a colored man named George Simms was tried in the Police Court fora violation of one of the municipal ordinances and was fined 5. His brother, who lives in the pean, near Queenstown, came in to pay his fine, while inquiring to whom he should pay the money met a colored a who showed him a policeman’s badge and sai he would fix the matter by the payment of a $5 ‘note, _— that the man wore a badge, Simms ought it was all right and paid the money. The “special” who got the money walked into clerk's office and returned with a supposed re- lease, THE BOGUS “RELTASE.” ‘The paper was 4 blank subpena, and on the back of it was written the name of Deputy Clerk Harper. Simms went to the workhouse and there presented the release, which, to his surprise, was not honored. Simms then returned to the Police Court, where he indignantly denounced the action of the officers in sending him down there after he had paid his brother's fine and then could not get his brother out. On his description of the “special” Detectives Raff and Horne conducted the investigation as to Vass. YASS IDENTIFIED AND LOCKED UP, Samuel Simms, brother of the man who was arrested, visited police headquarters and identi- fied Vass asthe man to whom he gave the money, 9s did two other persons, It is also charged that he obtained @2 from George Simms while he was in the cell at the Police Court. Vass after being relieved of his badge was locked up on a charge of false pretenses, 4 “PERTECTER” OR A POLICEMAN, ‘When Simms met Yass in the court Monday he asked: “Is you a pertector or is you a policeman?” “I asked him that,” said Simms, “because he had his badge under his coat and I thought from that that he must be a ‘pertector.’” Vase did not appear on duty ges rday and this morning @ Was summoned to appear be- fore the trial board. When he appeared De- tective Horne collared him, He were a light coat and straw hat and the officers went to his house and obtained the dark hat and coat, which itis alleged he wore on Monkay, He will have @ hearing in the Police Court tomorrow, — > WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. ‘Vrrarxta Postwastens.—The following fourth- class postmasters have been appointed in Vir- ginia: John W.
