Purcapetputa, April 15.—The case of Esher against the Evangelical Publishing Company was called for trial yesterday in the circuit cout of the United States for the eastern dis- trict of Pennsylvania, This case is but part of the general fight now going on between the majority of foreign party of the church headed by Bishops Esher and Bowman and the majority of American party headed by Bishop Dubs. The plaintiff is the son of Bishop Sener fand the son-in-law of Bishop Bowman, and brought this action of libel last fall by reason of several articles which appeared in the Evangelical, The court refused to con- tinue the case and it came up for trial yester- day. ‘Tho plaintiff, however, did not put in an appearance, and the court entered a non-suit, ‘This puts the cost of the case on the plaintiff.

The Court-Martial to Meet at the Brooklyn Navy Yard Next Tuesday. The judge advocate general of the nary to- day submitted a preliminary report to Secre- tary Tracy in the MeCalla case recom- mending that Commander Bowman H. McCalla be tried by court-martial on charges—to be made public tomor- row—based on the facts developed during the recent investigation by a court of inquiry into the late cruise of the U.S. corvette Enterprise. ‘The Secretary approved this recommenda- | tion and ordered the following court to meet | at the New York navy yardon Tuesday next: ear Admiral David B.

No decision has as yet been promulgated | with regard to the trial of any of the other officers of the ship, but it is thought very prob- | able that Lieut, Ingersoll may be tried by a court to be subsequently ordered. THE CHARGES NoT YET PROMULGATED, Although the charges have not been made known it is surmised that they will follow the articles for the government of the navy,which, article 8, section 2 specify _that courts shall furnish at their iseretion oflicers found guilty of cruelty toward or oppression or maltreatment of any person subject to their orders; and again, section 3, oiticers shall be punished who quarrel with, strike or assault or use provoking or reproachfal words, gestures or menaces to- ward any person inthe navy. Capt. McCalla may also possibly be tried under article 20, section 10, which provides that the commander of a ‘ship shall cause the arti- cles for the government of the navy to be read once a month to the ship's company, it having been alleged before the court of in- quiry that he failed to do this. It is possible that the incident at Bermuda on the 22d of «February may furnish =o charge of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. A letter was writ- ten to the Secretary, who referred it to the court of inquiry, by an American resi- dent in Bermuda, Gen. Hastings, complaining of Commander McCalla’s conduct on ahace on that day, Commander McCalla will be defended in his trial by Lawyer Choate of the celebrated firm of Evarts, Beaman & Choate of New York. THE TARIFF BILL HITCH. Why the Measure Was Not Reported— Proposed Compromise on Sugar. The ways and means committee did not get their bill into the House this morning, and there is some doubt about the report being made before tomorrow, though they hope to be ready late this afternoon, Mr. Carlisle finished his minority report and it was approved by his colleagues, but the majority has, at the last moment, met with propositions for changes in the way of com- promise, which cause delay. They were in session until after 1 o'clock last night, Leek to deal with ihe sugar men, the New England men who want fur hides, and the ingrain carpet men, and finally adjourned without their differences being settled. THY TROUBLESOME SUGAR CLAUSE, Later this afternoon they expect to have a meeting to consider a compromise with the sugar men. A delegation of the sugar plantera of Louisiana have come forward with the proposition to accept a bounty, as at first pro- posed, if it is insured for fifteen years, All the sugar men will probably agree to this, and itis thought that the committee will agree to make the provision that the bounty shall run for fifteen years, ‘There are two propositions on this subject. One isto keep a duty of one-half a cent per pound and give a bounty of 134 cents per pound, The other is to take all the duty off sugar and give a bounty of two cents per pound. Formerly the proposition for a bounty did not fix any definite time dur- ing which the bounty should be paid, and the sugar men feared thatthe bounty would very soon be taken from them. If the compromise is reached, as is expected, the controversy as to the sugar clause will be over, a ae THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. The House Committee Considering the Subject of City Street Extensions. The House District committee held a long special session today for the consideration of the Senate bill providing for a permanent sys- tem of highways in that part of the District of Columbia not included within the cities of Washington and Georgetown. Much time has already been spent in going over this bill and the committee is thorough. in earnest in the matter, realizing per- fectly the great need of straigh ing out the streets of the subdivisions outside of the city limits, so as to make the rouds conform as nearly as possible with the city streets, and there are several difficult points to consider. ‘The bill in the first place carries an appropriation of 21,000,000, which of itself 18 a matter of importance, ‘Then there are legal points of different kinds arising. ‘The bill was thoroughly discussed to- day in allits bearings, but no decision was reached. VIEWS OF THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS ON TWO BILLS. The committee received two communica- tions trom the District Commissioners today. The Commissioners report on the bill to extend the ordinances of the city of Washington to the rest of the District that the passage of such a bill would fail to effect the object sought, and that another bill on the subject has been prepared with the concurrence of the law officers of the District and is about to be introduced in lien of the former measure. They also report ad- versely on the bill for the relief of Esther Keyser, A STATUE OF GEN. GRANT FOR STATUARY HALL, Representative McKinley of Ohio has pre- sented in the House a resolution providing that a statue in marble, with a proper pedestal, of the late Gen. Ulysses 8. Grant, tendered by the General Eucampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, shall be received and erected in statuary hall in the United States Capitol. PETITIONS FOR A STREET RAILROAD. Superintendent of the Census Robert P.

Buck, pastor of St. Paul's Church, Rock Creck parish and chaplain of Soldiers’ Home, have petitioned the Senate to the bill au- thorizing the construction of a branch line frou 5th street and New York avenue to 1éth and G streets northwest. Senator Harris presented the memorials, THE SENATE DISTRICT COMMITTEE. he absence of Sevator Ingalls from the city will probably result in the omission of at least one of the regular meetings of the Senate Dis- trict committee.

Senator Chandler in Search of Interest- ing Information. The District Commissioners today received from Senator Chandler a letter sayin; Concerning back alleys I desire to ask whether they may lawfully be used for the fol- lowing purposes: 1. For building stone in large masses, lying for weeks and months at the side of the alley against the land of the owner, bet occupying one-third of the width of the alley, with no bnilding going on. 2. For ashes in barrels against the owner's wall. 8. For garbage in barrels against the owner's wall. 4. For ashes in barrels against the owner's next neighbor's wall. 5. For garbage in barrels sgainst the owner's next neighbor's wall. 6. F ermanent chicken coop against the next neighbor's wall in which live chickens are kept and killed as needed. . For killing chickens customarily in the body of the alleyway. 8. For keeping horses hitched for man: hours of the day in the alley against a man’s own will, 9. For keeping horse manure in a pit dug in the ground occupying a part of the alley against a man's own wall. 10. For drying and airing straw bedding from horse stalls spread across the whole sur- iace of the alley. 11, For leading horses out of a stable into the alley, walking them to and fro over the straw and making use of the samo. All of these things happening in plain sight of the back windows of various dwelling houses looking out upon the alley way. I do not say how many of these uses have been made of an alley by myself and how many by others, but they all prevail in an alley I know of and I would like to be informed con- cerning their legality and propriety and what the remedy is for preventing such uses as are illegal and improper.” Commissioner Douglass wrote the inclosed on the back of the paper and submitted it to Major Moore. ‘he inclosed letter from Sen- ator Chandler indicates that somebody is using some of our alleys for variety store purposes. Please see the Senator, get the names of the alleys and arrange to the stock of goods removed.” —>_—_ CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES, Proposed Transfer of the Fish Come mission—-Other Matters of Interest. The Senate committee on agriculture and forestry today heard Fish Commissioner Mo- Donald conclude his argument against the passage of the bill which proposes to transfer the fish commission to the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Department. When he had finished Assistant Secretary Willits of the Agricultural Department, who was present by invitation of Chairman Paddock, expressed the views of the department, which favored the proposed trans- fer. The committee is disposed to recommend the passage of the bill, but will request its reference to the committee on fisheries for ite opinion before taking final action. EXTENDING THE LIMIT OF THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW. Representative Chipman of Michigan today introduced in the House a bill, which was re- ferred to the labor committee, providing that the provisions of the eight-hour law shall apply to all laborers, workmen and mechanics em- ployed by contractors doing work for the gov- ernment, THE EXPENSES OF LAFAYETTE’S VOYAGE TO AMERICA UNPAID, When Gen. Lafayette was invited to this country in 1824 as the nation’s guest he came in the ship Cadmus, Of course, no attempt was made to collect any fare from the distinguished visitor nor was any bill presented him for what he ate and drank while he was joyously voyaging over the main. ‘The bill has been resented to Congress and amounts to 9,371.67. Years ago the captain and owners of the Cadmus departed this life, leaving their descendants but little more than the memory of & good name and this intangible and uncollectable bill. Senator Evarts introduced the bill today, and if the committee on claims makes a favorable report the heirs of the good men gone may get their money; but they will not get the in- terest which this money would have earned had it been invested anywhere else than in the National Treasury. Congress goesn't pay in- terest. PROTESTING AGAINST A POSTAL CHANGE. There were a number of gentlemen repre- senting some of the largest publishing firms of the United States before the house committee on post offices and post roads today to protest against the passage of the bill providing that all publications purporting to be issued periodicaliy and to subscribers, but which are merely books or reprints of books, issued complete or in parts, bound or unbound, old by — subscription or otherwise, shall be subject to postage at the rate prescribed by law for third-class matter. The bill has already been formally reported to the House by the committee. Those represented were Patrick Farrelly of New York city, the J. Lovell Peblishing Company, Street & Smith, Robert Bonner’s Sons, Geor Munro Publishing Company, the Iver Publishing Com- pany and the P. J. Collier Publishing Com- pany. Mr. Fanelly was the only speaker today, after which the subject was laid aside until Wednesdiy of next week. when the committee will hear further arguments from the opponents of the bill. THE NIAGARA FALL8 SHIP CANAT. Representative Payne, from the committes on railroads and canals, yesterday reported to the House the bill providing for the construc- tion of a ship canal around Niagara Falls in the state of New York by the United States govern- ment. The provisions of the biil have already been fully described. An amendment made by the committee strikes out the requirement that one of the five persons who are to locate the canal shall be chosen from the Board of Trade of Chicago. An accompanying report submitted with the bill says that from the earliest history of our government the necessity of this great work as a means of national defense bas been fully realized. As the great west and northwest have developed the commercial necessity of this great improvement has presented itself. The growing traffic must have the cheapest and best waterway to the sea, THEY WANT MORE COMPENSATION. F. B. Wheeler of New York, Alex. Campbell of Bethany, W.Va., Thos. B. Merry of Oregon, and R. L. Miller of Lynchburg were appointed asvistant commissioners to the Melbourne cen- tennial international exposition of 1888 by Sec- retary Bayard, and they allege that they were deceived as to the compensation to be made for their services, Their expenses, they say, were great—fully as great as that of the chief com- missioner, Who received more money for ex- penses than his assistants—and they have ap- pealed to Congress to give them $1,500 each out of the unexpended balance of the appropri- ation which Congress made for the purpose of having the United States represented at Mel- ea Senator Daniel presented the memo- rial TO PREVENT BANKRUPTCY, Robert J.

PAVING ALONG THE TRACKS, Answer of the District Commissioners in the Fifteenth Street Pavement Case. The District Commissioners have filed their anewer to the bill of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company for an injunc- tion to restrain the issuing of certificates for paving along the tracks on 15th street, amount- ing to $469.59. They admit that they notified the complainant to substitute asphalt blocks for granite, but say it was in good faith, and when the company refused to remove the blocks they = Commissioners) did it. They deny that their action relieves the company of responsibility—and they as- sert that the kind of material to be used is wholly witl their judgment and their de- cision is conclusive. They say it was perfectly competent for them to direct the change dur- ing the progress of the work whenever public interests demanded it, and even after the pave- ment was laid, and assert that they have the right to issue the certificates. ——__ District Cases in the Criminal Court. Yesterday afternoon in the Criminal Court the jury in the case of Frank Forster, charged | with keeping an unlicensed bar, were unable | | decided to arrest to agree and were discharged, In the case of Charles Guy for unlicensed bar | the forfeiture was sot aside in payment of costs. In the case of Spencer Coleman for same the Fecognizance was ‘orfeited. In the case of James D.Donveilly,convicted of ieee bar, a motion for a new trial was filed. This morning in the case of Edward Devlin, jr., convicted of destroying private property, a motion for a new trial was ‘dled. The trial of Frank Forrester (Forster) for keeping an unlicensed bar in October last was taken up. After some testimony had been heard Mr. Dumont said it was clear to his mind that this prosecution was instituted “to get even” and the District was being used for the purpose. He would therefore ask that the case be dismissed. The jury thereupon returned a verdict of not guilty. Joseph Silas and Peter C. Ahle, charged with keeping an unlicensed bar at 1202 D street northwest, on July 28, was called and the latter failing to answer his recognizance was for- feited, Silas stood trial, Mr, Frank P. Closs appearing for him, Oficer John F. Frazer testified that he saw two beers, a whisky anda cigar sold; that he went in with two women and another party. The jury after a short absence found a ver- dict of guiity. —————— ALEXANDRIA, Reported for Taz Evexixo STAR, Tue Question oF LiceNses,—The corpora- tion court, Judge Norton, opened its April quarterly term at the market court house yes- terday. A grand jury and petit jurors were in attendance and the preliminary arrange- ments were made for a ten days’ term. ‘The April terms of Virginia county or corporation courts are called license courts, because licenses terminate on the 30th of April and new licenses are needed on the ist of May. The law requires the commissioner of the revenue to be present at the March and April terms of the court for license purposes, and heretofore the the judge and the comm have been the only officials concer in license, but this year there is an excise board also and so the applicant for a liquor license has to pass through three cfiicial gates before he gets a license. Few applications have yet been made, but they will greatly multiply this week; and it is expected that before court adjourns most of the present licenses will have been renewed, ‘Tue Suor Factory.—This week opens with the Potomuc shoe factory basiness in the hands of @ new manage-, Mr. G.

Isaac Greenapple and his wife, Rosie Green- apple, were arrested yesterday and taken to to the first precinct station, where they were charged with arson. The husband came here from across the ocean several years ago and went into the fruit business on Louisiana avenue, Some time ago he rented a house at 71 C street sodthwest and insured his furniture in the Norwich Union Insurance Company for #1,000. One week ago there wasa fire in the house, but the flames did not do much damage because of the prompt work of the fire depart- ment. The fire occurred early in the morning. Isaac and his wife a] at the oitice of the imsurance company next morning and en- tered their claim tor the damage done, INVESTIGATED BY DETECTIVES. Mr. Simon Wolf, agent for the insurance company, sent an employe to the house and 878 was allowed for the damage, buf before it was aid over to Greenapple Detectives Raff and lock had investigated the fire and both Isaac and his wife. The officers had concluded not to make the arrests for some days, but yesterday they were compelled to bring their investiga- tion to a close because two their witnesses were about to leave the city. They were Chas- kiel Fiaumenbaum and Simon Swartz, who were living at Greenapple’s house when the fire occurred. The detectives had been shado' ing Greenapple's house and were also watching the witnesses, THE ARRESTS, The latter were about to leave the city yester- day, it is alleged, when they were taken in custody and escorted to police headquartors, Mr. Wolf was soon there and then the oificers started out to arrest Mr. and Mrs. Greenappie. While Detective Raff was watching the house Mrs. Greenapple left her home aud was shadowed by the officer. She got in a street car and the officer followed her in ‘a furniture wagon. She got off a Belt Line car at 11th and I streets and en- tered a small store not far from 13th and 1 streets, Rosie did not remain in the store long before she came out and went down the city. When she returned to the store Detective Raff decided to make the arrest, as he suspected that Greenapple was also in there. A police officer was sent for and when the place was entered the officer's suspicions were found to be correct. Both Isaac and his wife were arrested and taken to the staticn. THE TWO WITNESSES already mentioned boarded at Greenapple’s and Saturday night before the fire occurred they were removed from their room on the first floor to one on the floor above. Fiaum- enubaum says that he was awakened by the smoke Sunday morning and hearing a noise in the lower part of the house he got out of bed and opened the door to see where the smoke was coming from, Wheu he got out in the passageway, he says, he saw Greenapple room. Greenapple, he says, discovered him Jand threatened to kill hun if he gave an | alarm, ‘The boarder kept quiet and remained there until the firemen extinguished the flames, Flaumenbaum says that he imparted the secret to Swartz and the latter told Greenapple. The result was, he said, that Greenapple offered to furnish them with tickets to New York, and said he wouid also send them some money. | Both men claim that they accepted neither the tickets nor the money. When the case was called in the Police Court this afternoon Mr. Tobriner, counsel for the defendants, was not present because of other business and the case went over until to- morrow. ae eee A Wonder®ul Success.
