An Apparent Reason Why Judge Cox Was First Applied to. Special Dispatch to Tax Evexrne Stan Haaensrows, Jap. 31.—The bill filed in the cirenit court of this county by the trustees of the mortgage bonds of 1878, asking for the ap- pointment of a receiver for the Chesapeake and Ohio canal came up today for a hearing before Chief Judge R. H. Alvey. This applica- tion was made by the same parties to the suit in Judge Cox’s court of the District of Columbia, Messrs. Johngk. Cowen, Hugh Bond. Bradley L, Johnson and T.T. Wallace. A H. Keedy and J. C. Lane appeared in support of the application, while Attorney General Wm. Pinckney White appeared to resist the appointment of a receiver on the part of the state; John P. Poe, the canal company, and Barnard & Carter for H. G. Davis & Co. and Hambleton & Co., bond holders, The latter gentlemen all filed replies to the allegations made in the bills filed by the plaintiffs, denying the right to the it of a receiver, alleging no breach of contract, and that a failure of the canal company to meet its obligations arose from a deficiency of revenues, and that the ap- pointment of a receiver would only augment the indebtedness and result to the disadvantage of the parties interested. Lengthy and lively arguments then ensued for and against the appointment of a receiver, and wero in progress at 2:30 p.m., when this dispatch was filed. The general impression here is that from Judge Alvey's decision an appeal will lis, but that Judge Cox’s decision is final, for which reason, it is alleged in certain cities, Judge Cox was first applied to. ——_.——— MICHENER’S METHODS. Calls a Secret Night Meeting of the In- diana State Committee. Inpranapouis, Jan. 31.—The new republican state central committee met here last night to organize. The meeting was called by private letters to the members and the opponents of Chairman Michener had no notice of what was going on till the fact of the meeting was announced in the party organ yesterday morning. It has been usual for the call to be published several days in advance of the meeting, 80 as to give notice of the fact to all the politicians, but Chairman Michener adopted the secret plan on this occasion and effectually outwitted his ad- versaries, whose plans of opposition had not been matured. The committee met at 7:30 o'clock and without delay proceeded to the clection of officers, Chairman Michener and Secretary Milligan were re-elected without opposition and Horace McKay was elected treasurer. The following executive committee was chosen: 8. J. Peele and W. N. Harding, Indianapolis; E. K. Neebeker, Covington; J. K. Gowdy, Rush- ville, and J, E. Homan, Danville. $<» KICKED TO DEATH. A Rascally Kansas Sugar Manufacturer Assailed by a Mob. Wicnrta, Kay., Jan. 31,—J. B. Armstrong. cashier of the Sumner County bank at Conway Springs, thirty miles southwest of here, was attacked yesterday afternoon by a mob of one hundred men and came near being lynched. He was connected with a sugar mill at the place and the company had promised the farmers certain prices for cane and the em- ployes in the factory certain wages, The farm- ers claim that 228,000 is yet due them, while the employes claim $9,060 overdue wages. A crowd collected in front of the bank and invited Armstrong out. He complied and tried to taik the matter over. The crowd became so enraged that Armstrong was picked up and thrown into middie of the street, where everybody who could reach him gaye him a kick. It was proposed to hang him to a tree near by, but cvoler-headed men finally prevailed. Armstrong's injuries will probably prove fa First Train Through. Sackamento, Cat., Jan. 31,—A west-bound train, the first released from the blockade since the 24th instant, arrived here this morning at 1:35 o'clock. The train consisted of six cars exclusively of mail, The other seven trains which have been delayed are following at half- hour intervals. —— THE SUNDAY REST BILL, nissioner Douglass. A Latter from Com Commirsionér Douglass was to have spoken tonight at the Foundry church on the Sunday rest bill, but owing to a previous engagement sent the following letter instead: “I discovered after you left yesterday that I had a previous engagement for this evening, The Commissioners are in favor of the Sunday rest law that will comport with the laws of the states generally in that object. We do not favor a law, as has been intimated, that will punish a citizen for kissing his own wife that day, Buta reasonable law is emi- nently necessary. : Though the attorney for the District an- rounced some months since that there was no law to punish for secular Inbor on the Sab- bath to the eredit of our people we have not heard of any effort to take advantage of this legal defect. Success to our efforts.” — 6 A DANGERO! CROSSING, Capt. Rossell Approves the Plan of Mr. Curtis for a Remedy. There is no crossing on the lines of either the Baltimore and Potomac or Baltimore and Ohio railroad that is more dangerous than that known as Sheriff's crossing near Bennings station. Recently Mr. A. J. Curtis, ina letter to the Commissioners, submitted a proposition made to the Baltimore and Potorac railroad company, and accepted by them, which has for its object the discontinuance of the above- mentioned crossing and the opening of a new road, The matter was referred to Capt. Ros- sell, who reported upon the case today as fol- lows: ‘Phe inclosed application from Mr. Curtis for the construction of a roadway parallel to the Baltimore and Potomac railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and extending from the Anacostia road to the Sheriff road, the railroad companies agreeing to build a bridge over Watts’ run, provided such road is open, is believed to be a most excellent plan. “It would avoid the present dangerous cross- ing of the railroad known as the crossing of the Sheriff road. This road if laid out should not be less than 90 feet in width. The com- puting engineer estimates that to open said Fond the purchase of the Innd at $250 per acre and covering it with gravel, making a 30-foot roadway, would cost $4,985. It the land should be donated the amount would be decreased by + 50, making the cost approximately $4,300, think this work should be kept in mind and when estimates are made for the next year's appropriation bill I would earnestly recom- mend that this road be included in the esti- mates and that in the mean time property own- ers be requested to donate the lund necessary for the opening of this road.” CAPITOL TOPICS. THE ARMY RETIRED List. The House committee on military affairs have ordered a favorable report on a bill to authorize the transfer of officers over sixty years of age from the limited to the unlimited retired list of the Army. The bill proposes the trans- fer of about sixty such officers and the aie of the vacancses on the limited list thus create by the admission of disabled officers now await- ing retirement. SECRETARY NOBLE FEARS TROUBLE IN OKLAHOMA, Secretary Noble was at the Capitol today and had a conference with Senator Platt, Chairman of the Senate commit- tee on Territories in regard to the bill to establish a territorial form of governmentin pina pai The Piatti urged tor 0 upon the Senator the aecessity of i pga action by Congress upon both bills, regards the situation in Oklahoma as grave and is fearful that unless Congress provides, temporary furm of government and takes early meaaures for the adjudication of land di putes that there will be considerable and bloodshed between rival land and their friends, EF: FRAMING DISTRICT LEGISLATION. The Senate Committee and the Eccord- ership—Many Measures Considered. When the Senate on Monday next goes into executive session Senator Ingails will report the nomination of Blanche K. Bruce as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia and move that the nomination be confirmed. This much was decided today by the Senate committee on the District of Columbia at its regular weekly meeting. Dis- trictand no democrat said things sarcastic about the manner in which the President was carrying out his “home-rale” policy, All was ‘CITIZENS OUTSIDE. Outside the committee room there was @ good deal of motion. For the first time in the history of the present Congress quite a number of citizens, all a) ntly interested in local legislation, tramped up and down the neighbor- ing corridors, or sat in the ice-cold semi-circular niches scooped in the marble walls. THE OFFICE OF RECORDER OF DEEDS. The first bill taken up by the committee, of which every member was present before ad- journment, was the one relating to the office of recorder of deeds, which proposes to reduce the fees aud make the poation, a salaried one. On this the committee to hear argument, so Gen R. D, Mussey was admitted. The general's proposition was entirely new. He wanted the recorder of deeds and the register of wills to be made ae clerical positfons under the direction of the clerk of the Supreme Court of the District. The recorder and register were nothing more than clerks anyhow. Betore the committee broadens its bill so as to include the register of wills, aud before it does anything in line with Gen. Mussey’s idea, it will call upon Register Clagett to furnish it with a statement of receipts and expenditures, Mr. Henry Johnson, chief clerk of the re- corder’s office, supplied a littie information as to the office expenses cailed for by the com- mittee, and in the course of his remarks said that there wasa pressing necessity for an ap- propriation out of which to pay for copying the records of the office from the year 1708 for a hundred years in this direction. ‘The indices, too, need copying. ST, ANN’S ORPHAN ASYLUM. More money for the orphins was the request made by the sister superior of St. Ann's orphan asylum. She said there were 205 children in the keeping of the asylum and all the money Congress allowed was $6,000. ‘I'wenty or thirty of the youngsters drew their sustenance from hired founts, which cost from €2,400to $2,700 annually, Ten thousand dollars annually would be but equitable, Questions were putas to whether there was any distinction in the receiving of infants be- cause of color. The sister said they only took black children, as a rule, when they were brought there by the police ‘or by some strong friend of the institution. If colored children were habitually received there would be but few of any other kind in the house, for there were from ten to fifteen applications made daily on behalf of waifs of colored humanity, There were but three colored children in the asylum now. Finances were ata low ebb and the coal deuler had not been paid. The com- mittee will call on the Commissioners for a report. decided OTHER BILLS CONSIDERED. Senator Faulkner was authorized to report adversely upon the bill to extend the ordinances of the city to the rest of the District, and si ilar action was ordered on Senator Blackburn's “race pools” amendment thereto. In place of that bill was taken up Senator Faulkner's measure entitled ‘ta bill for the establishment of certain laws or ordinances for the District of Columbia,” and on this a favorable report was ordered, A favorable report was also ordered on the bill to prevent fraudulent transactions on the part of commission merchants and other con- ignees of goods, This bill was advocated by Senator Faulkner and was heartily supported generally. It makes it interesting for those commission merchants who appropriate pro- duce to their own use and fail to make returns therefor to the consignor. ‘The bill to incorporate the King Theological hall was amended by striking out the sections which gave the proposed incorporation a con- nection with Howard university. Standing sione the bill will be faverably reported. The number of trustees is increased to ten. The bill to incorporate the Columbia Central railway company was referred to Senator Hig- gins as a subcommittee; the bills to regulate the practice of medicine in the District were handed over to Senator McMillan; the bill changing the name of the Columbia title lasurance company, to Senators Spooner and Vance, and the bill providing for the ap- pointment of a superintendent of charities to the District Commissioners for report, HEARINGS, Mestreet, Georgetown, Kendall Green and Mr. George E. Hamilton were all heard by the committee, Georgetown and Kendall Green want the proposed railroad for which a bill has been introduced, M_ street protested by memorial and Mr. Hamilton talked against the memoriai and in favor of his brother incorpora- tors. No action was taken on the bill, The East Washington railroad bill was in- formally teken up, but before any positive con- versation eusued thereon the committee ad- journed, Too Sick to be Brought to Court. On the assignment of cases for trial in the Criminal Court today were those of Kate Fri- day and Sarah Lewess, the alleged shop-lifters, charged in three indictments with six cases of grand larceny ahd having pending an appeal ina charge of petit larceny. When the prison- ers were brought up from jail Sarah Lewess was not among them and word was received that she was very sick and unable to be moved. It was sugxested by some that the sickness was feigned, but this was dispelled by the sta meut of Dr, MeWilliams that she is a very sick woman, having a high fever, and he would not like to take the respousibility if sae was brought from jail today, ——__— A Fight at the Treasury Door. There wasa fightin front of the Treasury building today. ‘The participants were James E. Clements, commonwealth’s attorney of Alex- andria, aud Martin Flannery, the stone cutter in this city. Flannery, it appears, had a con- tract under the War department for erecting a wallarounda part of the Arlington estate and had in his employ a number of Virginians, ‘These Virginians have not, they claim, re- ceived pay that is due them from Mr. Flannery and they employed Mr. Clements to act as their attorney to collect from Mr. Flannery. Mr. Clements accosted Mr, Flannery in the Treasury building, and the latter preferring not to be spoken to on such matters there Mr. said he would see him outside. Flannery was leaving the Tre: ents spoke to him and Mr. Fle was such thata fight resuite c ved a blow over the eye which cut the flesh, There was an exciting struggle before the men were separated. They will be called to answer a charge of affcay in the PoliceCourt, An Insane Negro With a Bowie Knife. There was a colored man named Richard Jennings im the Police Court this mornifg charged with carrying a “Bowie” knife. The prisoner's feet were both missing, and from the evidence offered Judge Miller thought the prisoner was both insane and dangerous. Policeman Acton arrested him at the 6th street depot because of his repeated threats to kill somebody. ey have been gambling me through Lioyd’s express,” he said, *“‘I have been initi- ated in the municipal government of Maryland and they are working against me through the tobacconists and other business men; They took my pistol away from me in Baltimore and when I got here they took my knife from me.” “What did they do with you in Baltimore?” inquired the Pi a, “Gave me ty days,” was bis reply. “Judge,” continued the prisoner, ** ex- pert gamblersere gambling me through the Beis ogra and f song one working against the Cathol they have broken me up in my business,” “Who, the Odd Fellows or Masons?” asked gn Mr. Mr. ‘Clem- 5 the re “What do you carry this fe for?” asked ee “These boys have been annoying me,” he Ate ey “and I carried it to balance myself wil “You wanted to kill one said the judge. “That's what you your- self.’ The judge instructed the attorney to file ‘aioemaite the prisoner for soaalt and on that he was sent to jail, where he can be examined. of them,” call —-+—___ New Us& ror rae Avanm.—Orders have been issued to have the torpedo boat Alarm, now at New York, fitted out for service as ® gunners’ boat for the use of and seamen at ‘she trauning station, WILD SCENES-:IN THE HOUSE. A “Tremendous Uproar” Cansed by the Refusal to Entertain Motion to Adjourn. The Speaker refused to entertain Mr. Springer's motion to adjourn and stated that he would not recognize even ordinary parlia- ‘mentary motions if they were used wish a view to obstructing business. Mr. Springer appealed from the decision and demanded to be heard, but Mr. McKinley was recognized to move to table the appeal. Mr. Springer protested wildly, and was seconded by the entire democratic side. A tremendous ‘Uproar ensued. Mr. Perkins of Kansas taunted the demo- crates with disgraceful conduct, and a number of the democrats responded in kind. The Speaker directed the roll to be called, and the clerk proceeded to do so, Mr. Springer meanwhile denouncing the Speaker's action and continuing to shout out his remonstrance and defiance as the roll call proceeded. Before the clerk had gotten through the “B's” of the list, however, Mr. Springer sank back ex- hausted into his seat amid the jeers of the re- publicana, The call then proceeded, at least partial order prevailing, while the democrats were consult- ing earnestly in groups. THE DEMOCRATS AGAIN REFRAINED FROM VOTING, but the Speaker sat coolly glancing over the Dewocratic side, now and then checking off a member whose name was called and who re- fused to respond. The vote resulted—yeas 163, nays 0, and the Speaker's decision was sus- tained. MR. ORISP TO THE FRONT. Again the Speaker refused to recognize Mr. Springer to put a motion to adjourn and Mr. Daizell was recognized to call up the election case, Mr. Crisp endeavored to raise the question of consideration and tried to appeal from the decision of the chair, but the Speaker refused to entertain the appeal. Mr. Crisp denied the right of the chair to class his motion as a dilatory motion, and pro- tested against the Speaker's action, which, he said, was in disregard of all parliametary rule. ‘MR, DALZELL HAS THE FLOOR. Mr. Daizell then took the floor and began to present the views of the majority of the elec- tion committee on the contested election case of Smith against Jackson, PEACE REIGNS AT LAST. The democrats showed a disposition to inter- rupt Mr. Daizell, but Mr. Crisp (Ga.) promptly quelled this and demanded a hearing of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, So at last, after a three days’ contest, the re- publicans have succeeded in getting the House to consider the election case and matters have quieted down.
