He Says it is a Scheme of British Landlords, Lowxpox, April 21.—In the house of commons today Mr. Parnell moved that the Irish land purchase bill be rejected by the house. Speak- ing in support of his motion he said that the measure justified the claims the nationalists made nine years ago, He welcomed Mr, Bal four as the latest recrttit to to the ranks of the land reformers. While accepting the govern- ment's recognition of the principle of the land for the peopie Mr. Parnell declared that he could not admit that the bill was a satisfactory solution of the land question. The initial question would show how far the British taxpayers would go in lending credit to their Irish landlords. The experience gained by the discussion of Mr. Gladstone’s land bill in 1886 showed that the taxpayers would not go far enough to finuliy settle the land difficulty. The present bill was meant simply to cnable one- ninth of the owners of land in Ireland, this being the larger absentee landlords, to sell out at exorbitant prices, leaving their poorer resi- dent brethren in the lurch, TIME TO PLAN HIS CHESTNUT. A Down South Story That John Wilkes Booth is Alive. Curcaco, April 21.—The Times publishes a story from Birmingham, Ala., in which Louise Worcester, at one time a confidant of J. Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln, is credited with saying that Booth is not dead. She declares that in 1867, two years after Booth’s supposed death, she received a letter without date or signature, but unmistakably in Booth’s handwriting. This letter, she says, is still in existence. As to the probabilities of the man shot by Boston Corbett being Wilkes Booth she points out that the body was closely guarded nd secretly buried without an opportunity having been given for identification by ny of those intimately acquainted hhim. She believes that the man killed was one of the conspirators and that Booth made good his escape, but that in the excited and clamorous condition of the public mind it was thought best by the authorities. if they knew of the deception, to allow it to pass unchal- lenged in order to allay the fever of excitement which the assassination bad aroused, From Wall Street Today. New York, April 21.—The stock market this morning continued the movement of Saturday und the opening was very active and strong, followed by a further advance all over the list. First prices were generally from 3, to ' higher than Saturday's final figures, and with a large and well distributed business in the active stocks prices moved up fractional amounts in the early dealings, Reading and C.. C., C. and st. Louis were most prominent, but the rise in the former was only %, percent. Sugar as usual of late was the great feature of the market, and on large transactions moved up from 6}4 to 70°%. There was some little concession toward the end of the hour, and in rare cases prices went a shade below the openings, but the strong tone remained, and at 11 o'clock the market was active at about the best prices reached, although the leading stocks were especially active this morning and the business rau up to large figures, ——-— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

OVER THE ALLEY WALL. A Pistol was Fired and James A, Du- bant Thought he Was Shot. A warrant was issued from the Police Court Saturday on the oath of James A. Dubant, charging Capt. John A. Duble with assault and battery with intent to kill. Capt. Duble lives at 319 Missouri avenue, and Dubant has a stable in the alley several doors from the rear of the captain’s premises, He has a horse and cab and also keeps a cow in his stable. Last Thursday morning, Dubant charges, the captain came to his stable, and said Dubant’s cow was kept in the stable in violation of law, Words followed, during which, Dubant says he ordered Dubie out, Duble asked him to wait for him two minutes, Dubant replied that he would but he soon closed the stable door and looked over a side wall to see where Capt. Duble was, When he looked into the alley, he says, the captain shot at him. The bullet struck tl wall and tore off a piece of the brick. Dubant said that he fell from the wall and ran to the house, thinking he was shot, Saturday morning he said Capt. Duble came after him with a shot gun. When a Star reporter called at Capt. Duble’s house today to get his version of the dittioulty, the captain’s wife said that he had gone to have a private interview with the President, The warrant in the case has been turned over to the police, but it has not yet been served, Faisal A String Around the Baby’s Neck. Frank Bufort, a clerk in the Sixth Auditor's Office, was before the Police Court this after- noon charged with threatening his wife. He lives at No. 717 4th street northwest, and was arrested last night by Policeman Burdette, who found two loaded revolvers in the house. Achild’| five months old was found with a eos of strin, tied about its neck and hands. Bufort claimed that the child had been playing with the string, but his wife said that he tied it. Judge Miller was of the opinion that the man's mind was not right and continued the case until tomorrow morning, when it will be settled. ——. Express Company Embezzlement. In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing- ham, today the case of Charles T. Bail, charged in two indictments for the embezzle- ment of $4,239.03 from the United States Ex- hee Company, in April last, was taken up. . W. A. Cook moved to quash one of the in- dictments, but the motion was overruled and the trial proceeded, —seenaneinis Kincaid at Liberty. Kincaid was brought up from jail te the court house this afternoon and at 8 o'clock re- leased on bail, s Messrs, D. A. Windsor, F. A. Richardson, Jas. R. Young, J. Paul Jones and R. J, Wynne went on bis ments to the Building Regulations. Ever since the ruling in the Cole case rela- tive to the width of projections the building inspector, acting upon the advice of the at- torney for the District, has refused to grant permits for projections outside the building line more than 14 feet in width. Recently Judge Henry Strong applied to the building inspector for a permit to erect a bay window 18 feet in width beyond the building line. Mr. Entwisle refased the permit on the advice of the attorney for the District, who thought it was obstructed by the decision in the Cole case. After a careful examination of the decision Mr. Strong says he finds that the permit he re- quests is not obstructed, The court, he holds, defined in that decision that the law requires the Commissioners to make rules governing projections without the building line and that they had aright to issue the permit in ques- tion. Mr. Entwisle, in view of this, submitted @ letter to the Commissioners, which, if ap- roved, will change the regulations as follows: in the first section, uncer the definition of a bay window, the regulations say: “A first-floor projection for a window other thana tower projection or show window.” The amendment strikes out the words “first floor.” so that a projection for a bay window need not necessarily be a first-floor projection.

The weather-crop bulletin of the Signal Of- fice says: The week ending April 19 was warm generally throughout the districts east of the Mississippi and in the northwest, while about the normal temperature prevailed on the Pacific coast.

Tennessee, the extreme northern portions of the gulf states and still farther westward to New Mexico, including the southern portions of Missouri, Kansas and Colorado. extreme southern portions of Louisiana and Texas and local excesses are reported in north- ern California, northern Illinois and northern Michigan. Well distributed showers gen- occurred over the states of the Ohio val- ley and lake region aud over the greater por- tion of the east gulf states, but no rain oc- curred in Minnesota, eastern Dakota, eastern Nebraska, western Iowa and over the ‘interior of New England and eastern New York. The weather during the week was especially favo: able for farm work throughout the northwest, In the south Atlantic states the recent rains proved very favorable for crops, although the planting of cotton was retarded by rams dnr- ing the week, In the middle Atlantic states the weather during the week was the most favorable of the season for plowing and sced- ing and great progress was made in the plant- ing of early vegetables, Reports from New England indicate that but little farm work has as yet been accomplished in the northern sec- tions, while ae and sowing are progres- sing favorably in the southern portions, The Young Men’s Christian Association.

The Court in General Term Winds Up a Celebrated Case. In the Court im General Term this morning & decision was announced in the celebrated pan-electric case, otherwise the case of J. Har- ris Rogers against ex-Attorney General Gar- land, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, Isham G. Har- ris, John D. C. Atkins and Casey Young. Judge Cox delivered the opinion of the court. The case has been in the courts since the summer of 1846 and was brought for dissolu- tion of partnership, an account, &c. In De- cember, 1886, Judge James, in the Equity Court, dismissed the bill and the plaintiff ap- pealed, In December, 1888, the Court in General Term reversed the decree, dismissing the case and remanding it to the special term, and on September 23 last on motion of Mr. Earle it was certified to the General Term by Judge Cox to be heard in the first instance. Here it was argued a few weeks ago by Messrs. Harris and Harris and Critcher and Critcher for the plaintiff and Messrs, Eppa Hunton, Jeif Chand- ler and W. E. Earle for defendants, 4 BRIEF REVIEW OF THE CASE. The complainant claimed to be the owner of number of patents, to operate which a joint stock company was formed, but after inter- views with him a new company was formed by the defendants on a bas: capital of $5,000,- 000. He charges that the defendants had not kept their agreement with him to push the project and secure a comprenensive charter, and that they had deprived him of his rights im various way hey had, he claimed, forfeited their rights and were heavily indebted to him, and he prayed for an wecount, &o. They had, he suid, agreed to push their stock, but some of the defendants, being ap- prehensive that stock operations might inter- ere with their political axpirations, delayed the issue of stock aud in other ways acted in bad faith with him, Ex-Attorney General Garland, in his an- | swer, denied that any injury had been done the complainant, but asserted that the complainant had violated his contract by selling a large . if mot the whole of his interest, tor pa $40,000 or $50,000, thereby injuring the com- | pany and bringing it and the stock into disre- pute. Mr. Gariand and the other defendauts denied in detail all the waterial alleg. made by the complainant, THE DECISION OF THE COURT. Judge Cox, in delivering the decision today, in a general manner reviewed the averments of the bill and answers, the testimon ings, The court held that the charge of viola- tion of agreement had not been sustained, the original agreement having been in effect car- ried out; that the allegation of a new and amended contract being made was not sus- tained; that complainant was not entitled toan account nor for money to be paid back, for the reason that an account had been taken and the compiainant received his dividends when paid, and if he had not been paid enough his remedy was by an action at law. Ali that he was entitled to was a reconveyance patents not conveyed to the Pan Electric 1 phone Company and Pan Electric Telegraph Company. The bill would be dismissed, each party to pay his own costs, ‘MR. ROGERS INCLINED NOT TO APPTAL. Mr. Rogers has not determined fully whether | he will prosecute the case further by appeal or not but he is inclined not to do so. Under the decision rendered today he will receive by re- conveyance fifteen of the twenty-two patents involved. ————___ LIQUOR LAW CASES, Three Cases Tried at a Special Sitting of the Police Court. The Police Court held an afternoon session Saturday for the hearing of cases of alleged Violations of the liquor law. One of the de- fendants was Mrs. Emma Ruckert, against whom was a charge of violating the retail liquor law, it being alleged that she sold liquor iu quantities less than one pint without a retail license, Mrs. Ruckert formerly had a retail license and she kept a) quiet and orderly place of business in East Washington. The officers summoned several navy yard employes. who were known to have visited the place, and their testimony was suf- ficient to convict the defendant, ton appeared as counsel in the case and asked that sentence be suspended. Mr. Dumout would not agree to such a course and the court imposed a fue of $105, Mr. shillington noted an appeal, Dennis Crowley, who keeps an “all night” eating house near Peunsyivania avenue aud 12th street, was charged with selling after hours. ‘The witnesses cailed for the District were cab drivers and they testified that thes went into Crowley's and only gotsomething toeat. They did not get anything to drink. The charge was dismissed. Frederick Freylinke was before the court on anorder to appear and perform juagment. He was convicted of keeping an uniiccnsed bar, and noted an appeal. Because ke did not pay £5 the clerk of the Criminal Court wouid not docket his case there, and he was thereby | deprived of what the law entitlcs him to. Judge Miller said he had often doubted the justice of such a rule. The law, he said, gives every man aggriev e judgment of the Police Court t by jury, ana he doubted the right of any one to ‘put such a barrier in the way of a person wanting a jury trial, The defendant was given until tomorrow to pay the fine, ae WHOSE PISTOL WAS THIS? I by th It Was in Mrs. Barnett’s Cellar—The Negro Who Shot Her Says it isn’t His. While workmen were engaged repairing house No. 815 New Jersey avenue, where Mra. Julia Barnett was recently shot by the negro James Harrison, one of them found a revolver in a pool of water in the cellar, One load had been discharged from the weapon, A bullet was found in the paper on the wall of oae of the rooms, John Kelly, who found the weapon, notified the police aud Detective Mahon yes- terday went to the jail to see Harrison, He de- nied that the weapon found was the one he had used and insisted that he lost his pistol when he jumped on the train at Germauiown. The pistol he used, he said, he got in Charlestown, W.Va., some time ago; that it was au old-fash—- ioned’ single-barrcled arm. The prisoner showed some anxiety concerning Mrs. Burnett's condition and seemed greatly relieved when told that she would recover. —— a THE “SLOPMEN’S UNION A Big Supply of Beer on Hand—Judge Miller’s Temperance Lecture. Alice Fitzhugh, a three-hundred-pound col- ored woman, lives in Burden’s court near New York avenue and Ist street, and keeps what the officers think @ disorderly house. Saturday night the house was raided and nineteen empty and eight full cases of beer were found and half adozen men were in the house drinking. When the case was heard in the Police Court this afternoon Alice told Judge Miller that the “slopmen’s union” met at the house, Judge Miller told her that she had enough beer in the house to runasaloon. “It is just such places as this,” said Judge Miller, “where these workingmen spend their money that ought to go to the support of their families and where ls are made eligible to the work jouse,” The judge said that if possible he intended to break up all such places. A sentence of four months’ imprison- ment was imposed and her counsel, Mr. Sillers, noted an appeal. The court fixed the bond at $500, —_—-_— At a Grade Crossing.
