The bill recites hat, as commissioners to receive sub- scriptions, the defendants made a tem- porary organization, elected Mr, Baker treas- urer,opened books and Gleason subscribed for 2,500 shares and Clephane for 100 shares paying 10 per cent thereon, $13,000, with an un- derstanding that a time and place for the first meeting of + stockholders and perma- nent organization be appointed and that at that meeting the treasurer of the commissions should turn the funds over tothe treasurer of the company. The five days’ notice has been given and the meetin, called to be held tomorrow, but it is claime: the commission has taken important action having at a recent meeting passed and approved bills of Baker, Evaus, Cissel, Kimball and Husband for 21,600 for’ alleged services in ob- taining the charter and in the preliminaries of the incorporation, The bill charges that other claims for ser- vices of alike nature have since been approved and the treasurer has given checks therefore under the direction of the board on Riggs & Co. where complainants’ 10 per cent had been deposited and other checks outstanding will be presented unless restrained by the court. The allowancés made by the commission- ers, it is charged, are illegal. It is uileged that not any of the commissioners are stock holders and that they have no interest in the funds and no power to transfer them. They therefore pray to enjoin the pay- meat of claims of their own, &c. —<$<-——_ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

The bill names as torr Samuel E. Wheatley, G. T. Damlof, Samuel Ross, William Laird, jr., Charles M. Matthews, Maurice J. Adler, Clement W. Howard, Ma- lone Whelers and Henry E. Davis, The bill as amended does not allow horse power to be used, and designates the route as from the terminus of the Washington and Georgetown Street Railway company, at a point on M street between 22d and 33d streets in George- town, and running thence over the aqueduct bridge, thence by such route as may be aj proved by the Secretary of War to the north- west entrance of Arlington cemetery. Grooved rails are to be used, and the capital stock is placed at $300,000. BILL REGULATING THE PRACTICE OF DENTISTRY. Mr. Cooper has intrpduced a Dill in the House regulating the practice of dentistry in the District. It is the same bill introduced in the Senate a day or two ago, the provisions of which were published in Tux Stan at the time. THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK APPROPRIATION. The appropriation of $92,000 for the zoologi- cal park was passed upon by the full committee on appropriations today, They decided to rec- ommend the appropriation with an amendment providing that the District shall pay half. The committee argued thatif it had 3 not been the intention of Congress that the District should bear half the expense of this park the provision for it would not have been made in the District appropriation bill. The accounting officers of the Treasury took the same view of the matter and the commitiee adopted the amendment accordingly, MORE ROOM WANTED, Secretary Windom today sent to the House of Representatives a letter calling attention to the necessity for providing additional space for the engineering and draughting division of the office of the supervising architect. A building for the purpose can be erected, he says, for $25,000. THE TYPOS’ ELECTION.

Assistant Foreman Drake escorted them to the polling place (which was the office of the jate Washington League club.) and when they had seen their preferences drop into the sealed ballot boxes they gave way to a crowd of men, all anxious to help friends or to defeat foes. OPENING THE POLLS, The polls opened precisely at 1 o'clock and for half an hour thereafter there was a con- stant stream of votersin line. By that time busi- ness slackened up a little for the rush from the Government Printing office was over. ‘Then came some of the “downtown” printers and they came in style. Their conveyance was a new and glossy tally-ho coach drawn by four horses, the leaders being of the circus va- riety as to colors, being streaked and spotted in the latest fashion. Most of the pas- sengers were compositors on Tue Stan, and i fact the outfit was a tribute from THe Star composing room anda couple of other friends to Mr. J. TT. Clements, who is a candidate for delegate, The vehicle will be used to convey men to the polls and take them back to work, if they so desire. Very few will elect to return to labor. It is a great day for the “subs,” THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST. More hotly contested than any other portion of the campaign is that over the presidency. For this Messrs, E. M. Blake and Jobn L. Kennedy are striving. Bets of 2 to 1 were offered on Kennedy in several places, but there were no takers, It looks like a close thing, but may turn out to be just the opposite. The polls will close at 7 o'clock this evening and then the judges will commence the task of counting, Nearly twelve huudred tickets will be dropped in today and most of them will be very badly mutilated. Messrs. De Witt Chadwit Ti. K. Southland, E. A. Fi Ashford are the judges. They won't go home ‘till morning, for no one expects to get done with the count until 4 a.m. THE CANDIDATES. ‘The most thoroughly courteous members of the union today are on the following ticket: For president, E.

N THE Newspaper Extras in War Time, From the New York Evening Sun, Two men, one young and the other past middle life, stood at the entrance of the Fifth Avenue hotel on Saturday evening as the news- boys were calling the extras, “It can’t mean much to you,” said the elder turning to the young man, “this calling an extra, but in all the years since the war I never heard a boy on the street call ‘extra’ without a sno jump of the heart that is common, I ‘aney, to many another old fellow like myself. An extra meant much to us then—a great battle—a defeat, perhaps, with thousands of and sorrow in thousands of homes—or a ie latest news from the trout—something, at any rate, for which the nation stood still and waited. Alleged Violations of the Civil Service Act in This City, ‘THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONERS HAVE WAR- RANTS ISSUED FOR THE ARREST OF THE PRESI- DENT AND TREASURER OF THE OLD DOMINION REPUBLICAN LEAGUE. Assistant District Attorney Armes, after a full and searching inquiry into the operations of the Old Dominion republican league of the District of Columbia, decided to take some cases into court, and ©. A, Newton, who was presi- dent of the league, and J.J. Verser, its treasurer, were selected as the persons to prosecute, The prosecution, as stated in Tue Star, are for al- leged violations of the civil service law, and were instituted by the civilservice commission- ers. The alleged violations of the law are charged to have occurred during the last cam- paign. THEY WANT TO TEST TUE LAW. The civil service commissioners are anxioud to ascertain whether the law is constitutional or notand whether persons offending against it can be punished. President Newton of the league was owner of the Lennox house on 4! street and Verser, its treasurer, was employ. in the government printing office. The names of botb officers appeared on all the circulars of the club requesting voluntary contributions for campaign purposes, These circulars reached several offices and contributions were made, ‘The law provides against soliciting funds tor political purposes in any of the rooms occupied 48 goverument offices, 4 DISPUTED POINT, It is claimed that the sending of circulars is within the provisions of the act, while many lawyers assert the contrary and hold that the resence of the collector is necessary to estab- ish a violation of the law. ‘This is one of the questions that the civil ser- vice commissioners want settled in the courts, Sections 11 aud 12 of the law are the ones which it is alleged were violated, The penalty pre- scribed for violations of these sections is a fine of not more than $5,000 or imprisonment not more than three years, or both. The law does not mention any prison and this omission, it is claimed by some, is nother fatal defect in the act. There was no particular hurry in bringing the cases to the attention of the court, but Mr. Armes was informed yester- day that Mr. Newton was about to leave the city and take up his residence in Virginia, and to avoid the necessity and trouble of his re- turning here he decided last evening to have the warrants issued at once. THREE WARRANTS ISSUED, Accordingly the clerk of the Police Court made out three warrants today. Two were di- rected against Verser and one against Newton, The warrants against the former charged him as an office holder with soliciting and receiving contributions for polical purposes, It is alleged that he received $5 from P. P. Glass, who was also employed in the printing office, and that he solicited a contribution from Mrs, Sarah Collins, a clerk im the pension office, The warrant against Newton was issued un- der section 12 of the act and charges tim with soliciting contributions in a government office, the section being directed against any person whether an officeholder or private citizen, the name of Mrs, Collins appearing as the person from whom the contribution was solicited. Mrs. Collins, it is alleged, handed Newton $2 in compliance with the request e circular, Secretary John T. Doyle of the Civil Service commission swore to the warrants and they were placed in the hands of Detective Carter for service. ee ANOTHER RAILROAD BILL Mr. Chandler Proposes a Route for the Baltimore and Ohio. AN ENTRANCE TO THE CITY BY ONE LINE ON DEL- AWARE AVENUE—THE TWO BRANCHES TO JOIN NORTH OF ECKINGTON—THE TRACKS TO BE ELE- VATED OR DEPRESSED, Mr. Chandler today introduced a bill in the Senate to define the route of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in the District, The bill provides that after January 1, 1894, it shall be unlawful for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to run its tracks in the City of Washington except as hereafter specified. Enter the city from the north at the northern line of Boundary street at its place of intersection with Delaware avenue and proceed thence as follows: South- wardly and along Delaware avenue to the point where the said avenue intersects with H street on the north line of H street, provided that the company shall not construct on Delaware avenue to exceed four lines of tracks, The road may, at its option, construct its line along Delaware avenue by an open cut to be made by the railroad, the top of which shall be on a level with the grade to be established for the streets crossing the said avenue; or along and over a structure to be con- structed by them, which shall be constructed of such material and in such design and manner as shall be approved by the Commis- sioners, but shall not interfere with the use of the streets crossing Delaware avenue. No sewers are to be interfered with in the construction and if the open cut is raised the company shall construct bridges over all streets’ between Boundary ard H street and iron fences with a stone parapet must also be constructed with openings at each street. Guard gates and watchmen are also provided for. A JUNCTION NORTH OF ECKINGTON. The road is also required within six months of the passage of the bill to construct a line of tracks from the main line of the road, beginning at some point north of Ivy City and running in a westerly direction and to connect the same with the present tracks of the Metropol- iten branch at a point uorth of Eckington, and within three months thereof the company shall remove all tracks on the main line now running into the city, DEPOTS AND ROUND HOUSES. the present depots, round houses, &c., are to be removed and located on the follow- ing squares: E, 710, 711, E, 712, 713, 715, 717, 718, 716, 714, 743, 747 and N, 747, and if this [ered is not sufficient the company may take such property as may be necessary immediately north of and contig- uous to the point on Boundary street. ‘The land provided for in the act is to be ob- tained by the railroad by purchase, or, if neces- sary, by condemnation in the regular way. A Boy on Trial for Larceny. A youthful prisoner was today before the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bingham—a col- ored boy, Thomas H. Welch, aged twave years—on the charge of the larceny of $54.50 from George W. Childs on February 27 last, Gen. Carrington for the defendant claimed that the larceny was committed by another colored boy and the prisoner simply knew where that boy had buried the plunder and told where it was, Mrs. Childs and her husband testified to the money being missed and to Welch bringing the money back. Officer Kendall testified to the arrest of the boy, who said that Atkinson had found it and that he took him to where the box had been buried and dug it up. The jury found a verdict of guilty ana the court sentenced the boy tothe reform school during his minority. Welch still protested his innocence and that the other boy took the money.

During my stay in Chili, where J was em- ployed as the superintendent of a silver mine near Huasco, says a writer in the Philadelphia Press, [came in contact with an Indian who was found, after careful investigation, to be at least 193 years old, His name is Jaloquin Hap- pole. The miners called him Hercules. Hap- pole was born in the southern part of Patagonia and is a perfect type of the Patagonian Indian, being seven feet eight inches in height. He is of very heavy build, bis voice is remarkably sonorous, and his hair, now white, reaches far down his back and is very coarse. For about fifty years this Indian worked in the copper region, and he also worked in the silver mines for twenty-five years. He has learned to speak the Spanish language. Men that kuew hun fifty years ago say that he could make a running leap of thirty feet with great ease, and many are the tales of his strength. Old native Indians say that their grandfathers have spoken of him as being oid in their youth, Some of the oldest Spanish settlers in the region re- member him to have been gray-haired when, seventy-five years ago, he, with about sixty or seventy other Patagonians, was induced to come and work in the copper mines. Happole says he can remember a Spanish Catholic mis- sionary named Alondez traveling through Pata- gonia. It has been found that this was in the years 1743-49. The first and largest part of his life he was uncivilized, obtaining his living by the chase. ney eee = AN EXCITED MURDERER. He Boards a St. Louis Street Car and Shoots the Driver Dead. A few minutes after 4 o'clock Monday afternoon in St. Louis a startling tragedy was enacted on # Washington avenue car, James Fitzgerald was driving the car, which contained three passengers, two of whom were ladies, At Jefferson avenue Cecil M. English, an ex-car conductor, jumped on the car and, rushing to the front platform, drew a revolver and fired five bullets into Fitzgerald's body. The driver fell on the platform a corpse, but English kept on firing into the prostrate body until his re- volver was empty. The passengers screamed with fright and attempted to leave the car, but the frightened horses were galloping down hill at break-neck speed. A policeman and several citizens who wit- nessed the murder from the sidewalk pursued the car. English observed this, and taking the lines out of the dead driver's hands he lashed the horses forward. The policeman ran on until he found a newspaper carrier's rig and in this he continued the chase. The murderer had Gained a good speed and continued whipping ‘is horses forward, while at his feet lay the body of his victim. The chase continued clear to the car stables at Vandement’s avenue, where the policeman overhauled the car and arrested the fugitive. When the drivers at the stable learned what English had done they attempted to take him from the policemen and lynch him. The mur- der was due to jealousy. English and his wife had separated on account of Fitzgerald and the latter was boarding with Mrs. English. English had warned him to leave the city by Sunday or he would kill him on sight.

Washington, aminers at The curious information comes from Tren- ton, N. J., that there is now pending before the board of pardons a petition for the release from the state prison of the notorious Mrs, Robert Ray Hamilton, who is there for carv- ing up Nurse Donnelly at Atlantic City. A still more curious sequel to this famous case is the report that the failure last week of Schuyler Hamilton, who was engaged e! tensively in brick making at Croton, N. ¥., is indirectly due to the fair, frail Eva, His brother, Robert Kay Hamilton, would will- ingly have helped him when ‘the financial pinch came, but could borrow no money on is real estate owing to the legal complica- tions in which he is involved by the marriage ceremony he went through with Eva.
