Borvaro, Feb. 7.—Judge Daniels charged the jury this morning in the suit of Rev. Dr. Ball against the New York Evening Post. The Judge read the articles upon which actions were based, going over them sentence by sentence and dwelling upon their import, whether im- plied or understood. Dr. Ball, he said, had the right to investigate the character of Mr. Cleveland if he saw fit to do so, and it was for the jury to determine whatever such an investigation, visiting Begress, dc., warranted the Post im saying or insinuating that he was a gutter snipe. If Mr. Ball hed libelled Mr. Clevo- land that was no justification for the Post to libel plaintiff, supposing it bad done so. Mr. Godkin, the jury were requested to remem- ber, had certain letters before him as well as an article published in the Courier signed by sixteen citizens and it was to be considered whether he had had sufficient to warrant him in making assertions in the Post which he did. Further, whether articles were actuated by malice and whether they were intended to in- jure the plaintiff. If they were, the jury would justified in finding a verdict for the plaintiff and on that would — be & punishment and an example. Atten- tion was also called to the fact that when a mav comes out with public charges he becomes to a certain extent a public character and —— to criticism. If liberties mrpaerr the press had been transcended laintiff was entitled to damages. Bre editorial relating to the Abbott letter could hardly be considered libelous, as the most serious charge in it was acknowledged to be untrue. ‘THE VERDICT. The jury in the Ball-/ost case at 3 o'clock rendered a verdict of no cause of action. ee DULUTH’S REGATTA. A Grand International Racing Event Next August.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1890. ee eS e—_E_EE—EEEEEEEEeeeeEee————EEEEEE—EEE— eee SSS ESE Eee THE BALLOT BOX FORGERY. John R. MeLean and Other Witnesses Before the Special Committee. The House committee on the ballot box forgery resumed its investigation this morning by calling to the stand Jas. E. Neal of Cincin- nati, who was chairman of the state democratic executive committee in the campaign of 1889. He said that after Gov. Foraker's music hall speech and the publication of the forged paper he had called upon Mr. Campbell and they had resolved not to make a specific denial until they had secured absolute proof of the falsity of the paper. They called upon T. C. Camp- bell, who denied any knowledge of an original contract and advised that a reward be offered for Wood, October 10 tales Leggo a —— at Columbus from Messrs. Harmon and Jordan at Cincinnati, and ‘to see them was told how the had meade, Har- mon procured the affidavits of Murray and the Ley 3 oe ro pee to ‘3 ste ail on had giv it Mr. Hi distead, after secing the affidavits, would print a retraction they were to be re- turned to them. WHY HALSTEAD WAS NOT ARRESTED. Mr, Wilson repeated Mr. Halstead’s query as to why he (Halstead) had not been arrested in- stead of being treated so tenderly. Witness re- plied that it would have been a violation of the ‘oung men’s confidence to arrest Mr. Halstead; hen too, it was believed that a retraction coming from the original publisher of the bent be would have a effect than if some other editor. Witness went on the esearch for Wood had been prosecuted, and how it had been sbandoned when it was evident that his too late to help the case, arrest would be ‘MR. JOHN B. M'LEAN ON THE STAND. Mr. John R. McLean was next called. He said he was the owner of the Cincinnati In- quirer; never knew Wood or «poke to him in Washington; ne had any political, social or financial relations with John Sherman or the ther persons named in the forged pay never before today saw the forged paper: employed Walter Wellman and never while at Saratoga received a telegram from Wellman asking for a paper in his safe; was never inter- ested in a ballot box bill; had seen the Luce letter, but had nothing to do with it, ATTORNEY CAMPBELL TELLS HIS STORY. T. C. Campbell being called to the stand tes- tified that he was an attorney-at-law. First made Wood's acquaintance about fifteen years ago, when Wi was foreman of the Singer machine works in Cincinnati, when he was called to defend Wood from a in the ere court. The witness told of the introduc- ion of Wood's ballot box in Cincinnati, the or- ganization of the company in May, 1887, and the passage of the Now Jersey ballot box bill, The New Jersey boxes cost $15 apiece. Wood had called attention to ballot box bills intro- duced in Congress at the instance of the Boston ballot’ box company. These bills had been in- troduced by Senator Hoar—not by request—in 1886 and 1888, So he drew up a bill after the same pattern, Mr. Campbell, to whom he ap- lied to have the bill introduced, called atten- ion to the blank left where the price should be indicated, and said a maximum price should be fixed, Witness said the Boston box would cost £40, but was willing to fix upon £25 for his box. He spoke to no Senator or Congressman about the bill except ATTORNEY CAMPBELL CONTRADICTS HADDEN. Had no conversation with Hadden or any one else as described by Hadden, and never hada list of signatures of members of Congress mado by himeclf or any oneelse. Never showed such a paper to Hadden. Ifthe paper was honora- bly drawn, as Hadden had admitted, be would not have been ed to show it, and been compelled to thrust it back in his pocket after waving it in the air. After the retraction, when there was need for support of Gov. Foraker’s statement, Hadden could have cleared up the matter by coming forward and telling his story. But he did not. His story, if true, would have been of infinite value to Gov. Foraker, and his re- fusal to teil it would have been a piece of arrant treachery to the pk oir party. Gov. Foraker asked if witness doubted his statement that Hadden had told him the story of the existence of an original paper. Witness replied that the govnenor's state- ment waa sufficient for him. itness, continu- ing, told how he had furnished information to Gov. Campbell after the publication of the forgery. He told of his visit to Mrs. Wood and how she had told him that Gov. Foraker was a great and good man (an opinion in which he coincided), but had finally refused to give him any information. Witness told how he had been confronted with two letters from Wood, one dated at Washington and one at Saginaw, Mich., but both bearing the same date. He sought in Michigan for Wood in vain and gave itup, Witness then explained THE “DEAR COLONEL” LETTER, saying that Gov. Campbell, while a representa- tive, had, at his request, had the records of the 65¢, | ordnance department searched to look up the claim of a confederate soldier's widow (Mrs, Mason) and the letter had been written to him (witness) in explanation of the result. That was all there was of the celebrated “gun deal,” Wood had found that letter in witness’ pigeon holes and evolved the entire story from his vivid imagination. Wood did not lie like other people. He was given to ex- aggeration, He could not be held re- sponsible, He could not tell the truth consecutively or if he did it would be by accident. He thought Gov. Foraker knew this peculiarity, but was now willing to say that the governor's hy abner were not as good as his (witness’) for correctly estimating Wood's character. Witness remembered that in 1885 Gov. Foraker had made disparaging remarks about Hall and Wood, in connection with the sale of the Hall & Wood carriage company, to Gainsford, who was Foraker's client. THE BALLOT BOX SYNDICATE, On cross-examination witness said to Mr. Tarner that Hadden had been interested in the Ohio ballot box i, Ga pie so had Outcalt and others. Witness had never considered whether or not they would be interested in the pasange of the bill by Congress. Said he: ‘The whole of the nasty mess has been stirred up by reason of the fact that Judge Outealt (Mr. Butter- worth’s _ partner) was trustee — of the Ohio contract It was assumed by Wood that if Judge Outcalt had a contract in Ohio, Mr. Butterworth must have had one in Washmgton.” Witness was at first uncharitable enough to suppose that Gov. For- aker was behind this whole matter, but now he had come to the conelusion that @HADDEN WAS THE PRIME MOVER; that he was the one who induced Wood to do this thing. Gov. Foraker sought for some time to get the witness to say that he did not believe him to be cognizant of the forgery. The witness firet said ie believed the governor did not ask Wood to commit the crime and when finally pressed for a specific answer said: “I don't think you knew Wood committed a forgery; but I think you have been remiss in not finding it out.” Gov, Foraker replied that that had been his opinion about the witness, He had believed that he procured the paper, but now saw that he bad not, He did not want to roflect upon Mr. Hadden, however. Mr, Grosvenor said that he wished to go on record as admitting the correctness of Goy. his interview with Hadden on Jane 27, as it not been im- yeached by any testimony.

Various Matters of Interest Considered on Both Sides of the Capitol. The House committee on elections this morn- ing heard arguments in the Bowen against Buchanan contest from the ninth district of Virginia. Mr. Chapman of Virginia represented the contestantand Mr. Buchanan appeared in his own behalf. The points involved are chiefly of s technical nature, though there are a few instances of alleged intimidation. NEEDS OF THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.

The report is not so voluminous as Mr. Carlisle expected to make it.

He does not go into details, DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. A CROWDED CEMETERY. About six months Tue Stak printed the letter of Mr. G. Brown Goode and others rela- tive to the burial of bodies in the young men's Baptist home, adjoining the zoological park. It will be remembered that they bused their complaint on the fact that the grave yard was crowded, The health officer was called upon at the time for a report, and in hisletter, which was printed in Tne Star at the time, he said that he had examined the cemetery and found it advisable to recommend the discontin- uance of the interments wt once. ‘The at- torney for the District was then called upon for a report, and he advised that the Commissioners issue an order prohibit- ing further interments in that place. The trustees of the cemetery were given a hearing in board session and the Commissioners decided not to interfere in the matter, Today Health Officer Town- shend again recommenda thatthe issuance of permits for burial in the Young Men’s Baptist cemetery be discontinued. The Commissioners will take the mutter up as soon as the new board is organized and issue an order prohibiting burials after April. THE NEW ENGINEER COMMISSIONER. Maj.

Could Not Have Helped Mrs. Tracy. The discussion of the fire at Secretary Tracy's continues with unabated intest among fire de- partment officials stationed at the District building. Assistant Chief Lowe today said to a Srar reporter: “The public are of the opinion that Mrs. Tracy could have been saved had we gotten our ladders up more quickly than we did. Now this is not so, I was the first member of the fire epaemast to enter the yard of the house, and the only per- son I saw at that time was the servant on the roof, Mrs. Tracy was not to be seen, She was by that time in Mr. Rheem’s house near by, where she had been taken, So you sce it was rates impossible fcr us to have done any- ing.” THEY WANT BETTER SEWERS, A long petition from the residents and prop- erty owners in the vicinity of H street between 12th and 15th streets northeast, has been sent to the Commissioners calling attention to the fact that the sewers in that vicinity are too small to carry off the storm water, and re- questing immediate relief, as the lives of the citizens in that locality are endanged on ac- count of the unsanitary condition of things, NEW POLICEMEN.

Powell, state auditor of Vermont; Dr. Edison of Boston anda number of the mem- bers of the military and militia committees of the House of Representatives, At the suggestion of peeoerst | Proctor the review was made as informal as possible, even to the omission of the customary salute, this being done on account of the calamities that have recently befallen his colleagues in the cabinet. FORMING THE LINE. At1lo’clock promptly the line was formed, under the command of Capt. Turnbull of bat- tery E, who isthe ranking officer during the illness of Gen. Gibson. The right of the line was occupied by the battalion of dis- mounted artillerymen, marching as infantry, under the command of Capt. Lancas- ter. To their right was the band. In the cen- ter of the line was the light battery C, four long _ shining guns of steel = that looked as though they could bark spitefully when occasion required, This letachment would Saarety. have been in com- mand of Capt. Turnbull. but as his presence was required elsewhere his place was taken by Lieut. Hobbs, who rode a beautiful little horse that excited the admiration of the spectators by his intelligent movements. THE CAVALRY. ‘Then, at the left of the line, was the row of gallant fellows in yellow-caped coats, mounted on their proud animals, all bay in one troop and black in the other, ‘These came from Fort Myer, being troops B of the fourth and sixth cavalry. Col, Car- penter being absent from the city Capt. Ander- son of the sixth was placed in command of the battalion. A little aligning, a few hoarse orders, a bugle blast, and the line is formed. ‘the commander, wheeling on his horse, faces the wall of spec- tatorsg: few fvet away and picking out the Sec- retary salutes him. "The Secretary responds by lifting bis hat and then the troops are put through a few movements im arms. Atasignal the band begins to play, “Hail to the Chief,” and the Secretary, followed by the distinguished visitors in a long line, walks down to the right of ‘the line and then turning sharply makes the rounds of the line, reviewing or inspecting the troops, the band still hammering away at the same tune. THE REVIEW. During this proceeding the Secretary was ac- companied by Lieut. Chase, acting adjutant of the post, who explained matters as the line wound its slow wa: around the ficld. When the folks had returned to their places a few more orders were given and the coiumn, wheeling, began its march in turn around the plain, passing in review in. front of the Secretary, the officers saluting with their swords and the colors dipping. As soon as they had reached the starting point again the light battery unlim- bered their guns und made ready for action. The shining tubes of metal pointed viciously to the sky at angle of about 45 degrees, every man in his place, ready for any command that might come. Another cry is heard. bellowed forth by the command the artillery horses wheel around in couple of email circles, the guns are hitched once more to the wagon parts of the carriages aud the line is broken, the dismounted troops marching off the field. Then came a few minutes of maneuver- ing on the part of the battery, the horses flying over the ground in perfect time, every man holding on for dear life. Suddenly they stop, the air is full of moving red capes and the guns are unlimbered again. Scarce does the movement cease when second command is heard und the tery iv off again, wheeling in great racetul curves across the plain, now ringing the spectators forward in eagerness, now sending them scampering buck in fear, Presently the shivering cavalry has its inning, and at a note from the bugle there is a flash and a clash and every man is in his saddle and taere is a yellow streak thundering across the field, turning at the other end and then up the line in review ata full gallop. Piatoon front is changed to a fuli company front of fifty mea, and the lines are asstraiyht asa taut string. Buck and forth they go. first chargimg, then wheeling and fipally halting in line for a last salute. THE LUNCH, The review lasted about three-quarters of an hour, and when the Secretary and Gen. Win- gate led the way to Decoration hall, where a lunch was spread, every man wat as cold as a shad, There was quite a number of ladies present, who wrapped themselves up in eir seal skins and shivered patiently. The hall, bowever, was bright and warm and soon w corps of busy waiters had furnished enough coffee around as a firstcourse to warm the crowd up into good spirits, There was an utter informality in this pert of the review—no salute, no backwardness and plenty of good things. The Artillery band played while the jaw muscles of the hundred guests were busy, and the Secretary beamed his good, natured wel- come on every side. Thus the War department has extended its hand to the infantry militia of the country and the Secretery, by this public recognition of this growing power, has tacitiy agreed to sup- port it and foster i WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

In the ease of George & Brown against the Chesapeake and Ohio canal company the latter yesterday afternoon filed an answer. The auswer admits most of the averments as to the mortgages and raises no technical objection that all the facts may be fully known. It avers that the failure te pay principal and interest Under the mortgage of 1844 was due to want of businessand not to any fault on the part of the company, It admits insolvency, and says that its unfortunate condition is wholly due to a de- ficiency of revenue, and to no fault of the company. It submits that the security accepted by the bondholders has depreciated in value and that, under the terms of the mortgage, if the failure was not tothe company the Posees- sion. They say further that the holders have their remedy at law by ieaumane or execution upon Repoeryres poe. ject to prior liens, They are not entitled to the appointment of a re- ceiver for the reasons stated above. A re- ceiver is not necessary to t the canal from damage and could do nothing with its wreck. Even if a receiver could put the canal in order ite history for the last twelve years shows that the expenses of carrying on, the canal exceed ite revenues. The canal company is forced to admit that under no circumstances likely to arise can it obtain enough to compete with the a ~_ Goer hee ame in sucha way a8 running expenses. The: further allege that the stateof Maryland is A necessary party to the suitandask to be dis- missed, A LEGAL QUESTION, It is stated by some who have considered the situation that the constitution of the state of Maryland forbids any legislation affecting the canal unless it 1s ratified by the legisiature fol- lowing the one that passed the law. Even if the Maryland legislature should accept the roposition made by the Washington and Cum- rland railroad company it is said that such ection must be ratified by the next legislature before it would become BAe is yo aiper treed decision of Judge vey on the ap) ion to appoint a receiver for the Maryland portion of theroad will be ren. dered tomorrow. In case the application is ere the receivers will be appointed at ance. t is the expectation of some the receivers will begin uctlve work im preparing the canal for use as @ water way, although it is claimed by others that the canal will never be used again as a water way, Mr. Henry C, Winship, one of the receivers for the portion of the caual within the District, Was sven today bya Stan wan, Mr. Winship vaid that he had nothing to say in regard to canal matters, He added that a8 soon as there was anything to be suid he would be glad to give it to the public, A bill to provide for leasing the canal under the terms of the bid received from the Wash- ington and Cumberland railroad company will be Introduced in the Maryland legisiature. It ix said also that a bill will come in providing for a sale of the canal to the highest bidder. THEY WANT THE CANAL RESTOED. The Annapolis correspondent of Taz Stan writes: “It has been manifest through the whole ses- sion thus far that the people of the counties through which the canal runs are deperately desirous to have the canal restored as a water way. They will not be convinced that, apart from the devastations of nature, its evil 1 tunes have been due to the fact that the opera- tion of the camal has been under the malign influence of party and political manage- ment, In their strait they have been ready to welcome a receivership a means of giving the great water under the ision of wise, experienced, capable, non-partizan men, guided and con- trolied by an impartial court, ove chance at least for a fair test of ite worth, But it bas been equally clear all along that the political majority ascendant in legislature had formulated its decree for fina] that the canal should be sold, The onl question re- maining for determination is om and how shall the sale be made and the interests of Maryland and of the District of Columbia closed out.” —___ THE ALLEGED SHOP LIFTERS. Their Trialin the Criminal Court Draw- ing to a Close. Yesterday the trial of Kate Friday und Sarah Lewess, the two alleged shoplifters, for the larceny of a sealskin ulster from Stinemotz & Son and jewelry from Harris & Shafer and from Galt & Co., was continued in the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bingham. Detective Carter testiticd to receiving infor- mation of two shoplifters being in the city and to the facts of the arrest at the Howard house, corroborating his partner, Detective Raff, In addition he testified that while the prisoners were under arrest at hesdquarters he took a paper from Mra, Lewess’ pocket book which she snatched and succeeded in tearing about half of it, which she destroyed by chewing. On objection being made the testimony as to this paper was stricken out. Witness continued his testimony as to findii the stolen property, including the pins of Galt Bros. & Co. . Both women denied that they had been in Baltimore. Bb. V. Simms testified that there was no entry of the sale of the Harris & Shafer jewelry on their books, ¥. B. Shafer identified the stolen articles, PROCEEDINGS TODAY. ‘The hearing was resumed this morning. The attendance was larger than on previous days, The government announced their case closed and Mr. Carrington stated thi.t the defense had no testimony to offer. After a number of prayers had been offered by defendant Assistant District Attorney Lips- comb about 11 o'clock commenced his argu- ment to the jury and concluded at 1:30 o'clock. Mr. Campbell Currington, for the detendants, followed, commenting on the singular fact that at the time of arrest it was not know that any of the property described had been stolen; that there was no proof of the actual taking. He claimed that the proof as to the Stinemetz seal skin coat did not correspond with the averment, and made the same point as to the Harris & Shafer robbery. Mr. Smith commenced his argument at 2 o'clock with the understanding that he would poreny has macnn eee hour and a half and that Mr. Lipscomb would conclude in an hour and the jury be charged tomorrow.
