Last aan to The St RIOT IN COURT. The Mary Washington Libel Case at Fredericksburg Makes Trouble. Frepenicesvna, Va., Jan. 16.—The third day of the Mary Washington monument libel suit was opened this morning. The court room was densely paced. The first witness on the stand was W. F. Kirtly, one of the plaintiffs, who was rigidly examined by Geo. K. Fitzhugh, counsel for defense, who attempted to shake Mr. Kirtly's statement of yesterday, but without avail. At the conclu- sion of Mr. Fitzhugh’s examination of Mr. Kirtly the court informed Mr. Fitzhugh that he must withdraw his remarks of yes- terday, in which he denounced Kirtly as a liar. Mr. Fitzhugh did so, Mr. J. W. Colbert was the next witness, Mattere progressed smoothly until Attorney Fitzhugh attempted to throttle Attorney Dickson, counsel for plaintiff, in his examination of witness. Dickson told Fitz- hugh he was a d—d scoundrel, whereupon canes, ink stands, fists, &c..;were used promis- cuously and for a time « general riot ensued in court, which caused Judge McLaughlin to sus- Rea | eee until later in the afternoon. ‘he plaintiffs, defendants and counsel for both sides were placed under $1,000 bonds to keep the ice. Great excitement prevails and more trouble is feared betore the suit is ended. Se JOHN LOOKS WELL, He Says He Wants to Fight Jackson for $20,000, New York, Jan, 16.—John L, Sullivan said this morning he was willing to fight Peter Jackson as soon a8 he was out of his trouble with the Mississippi authorities. He would not, however, fight for the $15,000 proposed by the Californians, but would fight for $20,000. He preferred that the purse be $25,000 and that $5,000 go to the defeated man. Jvhn is anxious to meet Jackson, who will be here on the Adriatic, which is due Saturday.

Va., Jan. 16.—After a rather heated discussion in the Senate this morning that body went into joint assembly with the house of delegates to consider the guberna- torial contest matter. This was generally op- posed by the republicans, who wanted to wait until their absent members could attend. The majority reports of the gubernatorial commit- tee was presented and the minority report will be presented this afternoon, joint as- seniy adjourned till 3 o'clock this afternoon. —_—_s—___ Paulsen Fell, McCormick Won.

Torepo, On10, Jan. 16.—The developments in the forgery case now tend to show that mz Lamb, the expressman who negotiated the notes supposed to be forged, was made the dupe of Madame De Vere, a clairvoyant, who has figured here, at Cleveland and at Painesville under differ- ent aliases, She admits that she had passed under the name of Florida G.

WILL THERE BE A FAIR Or Will the Columbus Celebration As- sume Another Form? ee 2 The Senate committee on the quadro-centen- nial is waiting calmly for the documents which it deems necessary to the private dis- cussion of what ought or ought not to be done, It was supposed that a meeting would be held today, but unexpected delays interfered and there will be no meeting before Tuesday. Sentiment on the subject of the fair has had several novel fea- tures injected into it, St. Louis men are now confident that ll their hopes were founded on breezes much less substantial than the lake zephyrs which make Chicago such a draughty ba and they have settled down to beat the Illinois metropolis if that great center of population and porkers has not already been laid in the dust by the more weighty arguments put forth by representa- tives of this city. _ It is now tolerably certain that St. Louis is with New York, or divides its favor between New York and Washington. 2 From the disappointed ones a great cry is going up and itis now argued by some that the outcome will be a total abandonment of the exposition idea, This will, it is claimed, be brought about by members the House who will oppose any appropriation by the government for such @ purpose, ‘There is in this connec- tion a fairly-well formulated plan which in- cludes, if necessary, all the obstruction tactics that the Speaker will permit, ‘There is a practical unanimity of sentiment as to the propriety of a celebration, but these few members who are willing to be obstructionists say it will never go beyond a big memorial building in this city, the corner stone of which may be laid in 1292 with appropriate accompanying eloquence and federal ceremony. 7° ne THE WORLD’S FAIR DEBATE. Points trom the Discussion in the House Today. The floor and galleries of the Honse gained life when the discussion between Mr. Hatch of Missouri and Mr, Springer of Illinois as to the committee to take charge of world’s fair, began to get spirited today, Mr. McCreary took up the eudgels for the foreign affairs committee. He said he thought any committee which roported should report a bill without any recommendations, This rentark brought out considerable applause. Further. be said the foreign affairs commit- tee was ready ‘to report a bill tomorrow, if necessary, leaving the place of holding the fair blank and that it would be a slur on his committee to appoint a select committee at tois time. Other members of the committee on foreign affairs were equally indignant at the very thought of taking the prize away from their committee. The general argument seemed to be that this committee hnd been having fan with question for eo mnuomber of years and that the good work shoul goon. The several members also claimed that they knew of no agreement between the several cities that a special com- mitteos should be appointed. Mr. boone ged York — one oe his first speeches of the session, He was vigorous in his demands for a special committee, He said the different cities have agreed on aspecial committee and in all fair- ess it should be appointed. MEMBERS OF THE KEW TORK DELEGATION were unanimous in their desire for a select com- mittee, OHIO BALLOT BOX FORGERY. Testimony Before the Special House In- vestigating Committee Today. REPRESENTATIVE M'KINLEY THE FIRST WITNESS— HE TESTIFIES THAT HIS SIGNATURE WAS FORGED —GOV. FORAKER A WITNESS—OTHER TESTI- moNY. The special House committee appointed to investigate the Ohio ballot-box forgery began its work this morning with all the members present except Representative Struble, who is suffering from the grip. Chairman Mason laid before the committee a communication, signed by Senators Sherman, Stockbridge and McPherson and Representa- tives Butterworth, Breckinridge (Ky.), McKin- ley and Justin R. Whiting, reciting that as it is desirable to have a full and impartial investigation they request that Representative Grosvenor be allowed to appear before the committee to aid in exam- ining witnesses and render other assistance. This request was granted, and Representative Grosvenor said that while it was admitted that the paper which was to form the basis of the investigation was forged, all the gentlemen concerned desired to appear and Comets that fuct as wellas to any other facts that they might know bearing on the subject, REPRESENTATIVE M'KINLEY THE FIRST WITNESS. Representative McKinley was the first wit- ness to appear, The chairman presented a paper dated July 2, 1888, and asked if the wit- ness had ever seen the paper, and whether the name “Wm, MeKinley, fen signed thereto was signed by him, He said he saw a paper like it the first time just before Congress met. It was shown to him by Representative Butterworth. The name was not his signature. He knew nothing about the matter, except what he had seen in the newspapers and never heard of the ballot-box bill until it was brought to light in the last campaign, He knew nothing of the motive that impellgd the forgery. He saw a fac simile of thepaper published in the Cincinnati Commercial-Gozette, signed by J. E. Campbell alone, It was afterward pub- lished in other and locah republican papers. He had no interest, direct or indirect, in the paper and NEVER HAD ANY RELATIONS WITH MR. WOOD and did not recall that he bad ever heard of him or the ballot-box matter until he saw this publication. In his speech at the Cincinnati gnusic hall Gov. Foraker produced a copy of the ballot-box bill and that, with the newspa- per publication, was the first he heard of the subject. Gov. Foraker at that time made no reference to a contract, but subse- quently the contract and subscription was published in the — Commercial- Gazette, The signature ‘William Me- Kinley, jr.,” was not very like his own signa- ture, but it may have been burriedly traced from a fran. His first intimation that his name Was signed to the paper was received through Judge G. W. O'Neill of Lebanon, but he did not remember whether that was before or after the retraction, When the whole paper was published, after the election, by the Com- fee cea, his mame appeared attached i GOV. CAMPBELL’S COUNSEL EXAMINED, Judson Harmon, a lawyer of Cincinnati, who was Gov. Campbell's counsel, was the next wit- ness and said that he never saw the forged paper until this morning. “Some time in Octo- er last George J. Murray toid him that this paper was a forgery and bad been gotten up in his office, Witness started to get proof, spend- ing the next day in getting three affidavits by G. J. Murray, T. L. Millward and Frank Davis. (These affidavits were put in evidence.) “The next day,in company with J. N. Jordan,le CALLED ON MR, MURAT HALSTEAD of the Commercial- Guzetle and demanded tosee the paper. Mr, Halstead said that the paper was locked up in the safe deposit, but showeda photographic copy. Witness told him the paper wasa forgery. Mr. Halstead asked twenty-four hours for investigation, and a truce was de- clared—neither side to print anything, and Mr, Halstead withdrawimg a Columbiad editorial about to be published. Next day witness saw the retraction and gota note from Mr. Halstead stating that he was convinced that the paper was atorgery. The persons making the affidavits were told that they were wanted only to secure aretraction, Witness did not remember ever to have seen R. G. Wood, but was told that he would recognize him if he met him. He had tried hard to flad him without success. Will Ward was a patent draftsman, Davis was a young lad employed to” help him, The “photographic copy of the paper exhibited by Mr, Halstead had all of the signa- tures attached. Mr. Halstead had cross-exam- ined the witness to discover whether he knew of the other names, As the other names be- sides Mr. Campbell's had not been publicly mentioned, witness thought that it was the part of decency and wisdom ‘to say nothing about them in the retraction. MR. HALSTEAD BELIEVED that the paper was genuine; but acknowledged that something had happened that afternoon to cause him to investigate its authenticity. Mr. Halstead did not say where he got the aper. Witness had his suspicions; but Mr. Halstead denied their truth. Wood’ had told Murray when the latter upbraided him for misusing his office and ls young mon, that the whole matter was a mistake; that it was not intended for publication, but to force the wicked democrats to give up the Topp letter. This last was a proposition by George L. Topp to acontractor to sell gravel to the city and divide protits. Mr. Campbell was understood to be about to spring this letter upon the republicans, Witness thought Woods’ story was fishy, Representative Grosvenor asked if Topp had notafterward been found to b2 insane and had not died in the insane asylum, to which question the witness replied in the aflirmative. TOLD MR.HALSTEAD HE DIDN'L THINK IT GENUINE. Amor Smith, jr., surveyor of customs of Cine cinnati, took the standand was shown the forged paper, which he said he had first seen at republican headquarters October 6 last. It had already been published with Mr. Campbeli’s signature, Witness said when it was first shown tohim by Mr. C. L, Kurtz that he believed it was a forgery, but consented to deliver it to Mr. Hialstead, which he did, with the state- ment that he did not believe it to be genuine, pointing out peculiar ty of the ink in support of his statement, Mr. Halstead smiled and said they seemed to have used indelible ink; but he appeared to be- lieve it to be genuine, After the expose wit- ness learned that Mr. Halstead had seen the paper before. His ee) reasons for sup- posing the paper to be fraudulent were based upon its appearance, the ink, and the remarka- bie similarity of the three Campbell signatures, EX-GOV. FORAKER TOOK THE STAND and was shown “exhibit A” (the forged paper) and asked to tell all he knew about it, He said he had no personal knowledge of who executed the paper. After his nomination, June 27, L, N. Hadden, assistant city solicitor, came to see him and talked about the political situation, It seemed probable that Mr. Campbell would be nominated by the democrats, Hadden thought that Campbell would be a very strong candi- date, saying in explanation that he would have the support of some leading republicans— mentioning Major Butterworth, Hadden said his reason for supposing so was that in the financial results of Campbell's ballot-box bill Messrs, Butterworth und McKinley were both interested, He undertook to procure written evidence of his statement, Witness was busy and did not think of the mat- ter until July 8, when, not having heard from Hadden, he wrote him asking for the evidence. Hadden did not answer. September 23, after the music hall speech, wituess saw Hadden, when he MENTIONED WOOD AS A PARTY INTERESTED who could furnish the paper. Witness won- dered how he could communicate with Wood. believing it to be his duty to get possession of the paper to make use of legitimately. A tele- gram came to the governor's office, dated Cin- cinuati, August 6, asking whether he would help the sender (i. G. Wood), who was an ap ii- cant for the position of smoke inspector. That night witness started for New York, telegraph- ing Wood to meethim at Columbus on Tuesday, Anothertclezram came from Wood August 9,ask- ing his indorsement of his application, Witness returned to Columbus on the 13th and received atelegram from Wood, saying he was comin: Witness s2w Wood and talked about his ‘qualif. cations for the place of smoke inspector. Wit- ness hud a general know! e of Wood at the time, but did not know much about him per- 80) , and had never heard a word to his discredit. His business relations would have commended him to anyone. Witness said he was willing to recommend him. As he was =r to do Wood that favor, he told him he should be willing todoa tavor for him and told him he wanted that paper (exhibit A.

The Father of the Young Husband De- nies That He Favored the Match, A Star reporter called on Mr. W. W. Bar- dette this morning at his residence and found him still suffering from a severe attack of the grip. “T have nothing further to say and prefer to let the matter drop,” said Mr. Burdette when asked about the elopement of his son and Miss Morrice, However, on reading Mrs. Thurber's statement published in the newspapers, I find she makes some fepresen- tations which are not borne out by the facts. She says that I looked with favor on the match allthe time. I wish to contradict this whole statement. It is not true.” _ ‘Have your son and his wife returned to this city?” said the re} Tr. “They returned late yesterday afternoon. My son was at my house for a few minutes last night. They have rooms some where in the city, but I donot know where,” Young Mr. Burdette and his bride upon re- turning to the city went toa house on I street near 15th, where a Stak reporter was informed they had taken apartments. ——a A POSTAL PROBLEM. Mr. Ross Wants to Know if a Newspa- per Matrix is Printed Matter. Postmaster Ross has had a novel problem to ballot id the solve in the last weck ortwo. A number of matrices used in stereotyping news- paper plates have been sent to the posts office to be forwarded to out-of-town papers, There are several firms in this city which supply matter to country papers which use = “patent —_inside: or “plate” matter, The question has = arisen whether this mold or matrix from which the plates are made from which the paper is afterward printed, jubject to post- age atethe rate of one cent for each ounce as merchandise or one cent for every two ounces as being newspapers or printed matter. Pt, are molded directly from type, but whether this makes them printed matter Mr.. Ross is by no means sure, He intends to procure a piece of sucha matrix and submit it to the Post Office depart- ment for a decision as to its real nature. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. GEN. BUTLER’S PROPOSITION, Gen. Benjamin F. Butler calied upon the Comissioners this morning, as he said when he entered, ‘Pro bono publico.” He called to urge that the asphalt drive recently completed on the street just west of the Treasury be ex- tended as far as 17th street, around the semi- circle formed by the President's grounds, and that the old gates atthe 17th street entrance be removed.

They evi- dently were not aware of the existence of any law for the protection of fish in the river within the District of Columbia or they would not have violated the law so openly. ‘The officers went after the men in small boats and when they had pulled in their nets they had a good mers of catfish, yellow perch and sun fish, This morning the fishermen were taken to the Police Court.

Health Officer Townshend Says the In- fluenza is Not so Prevalent as it Was. Health Officer Townshend said this morning that from present indications the influenza was releasing its grip on Washington people. He thonght the number of cases of the disease at Present was decidedly fewer than the number last week. It is true, he said, that there have been @ few more deaths from pneumonia this Season than usual, but not near so many as in most of the other large cities, The number of cases he thought was consid- erably smaller than in any other city in pro- portion to its size, Among the deaths reported to the health office today were the following: Lawrence Mahar, pneumonia; Robert W. Shaw, catarrhal pneumonia; Brother Seymour, bron- chitis; Clara Curtis, bronchitis, THE DEATH OF MR, CHARLES TUNE, Dr. Magruder, who attended Walker Blaine, was attending at the same time Mr. Charles Tune, the South Washington grocer, who was also suffering from pneumonia. The doctor spent some time with each of the paticnts and each died at about the same time, Mr. Tune was about thirty-two years old He came here several years ago and, with his brother, went into the grocery business. His brother was married some time ago and is now on his wed- ding trip to Cuba. The deceased was also married a short time ago, He came here from lower Maryland. AT THE CITY POST OFFICE. The situation at the city post oftice, where the grip has had full sway for the last two weeks and seriously interfered with the activity of mail mat- ter, is practically unchanged today.

Of this number five are in the mailing division, six carriers and five clerks in the de- livery division, one in the money order aud four in the registry division. IN THE SEWER DEPARTMENT.

H.
