Carcaco, July 15.—Judge Blodgett in the fed- eral court yesterday dismissed the bill of John E. Cornell against Mrs. Hetty Green. It sought to redeem from forecloeure three pieces of property which have increased in value until they are now worth in the aggregate $1,000,000. They are the former residence of Geo. W. Gage, which has a frontage of 80 feet on Michigan avenue between Harrison and Polk streets; the Gage farm of 400 acr the Tremont gardens, at 61st str and Western avenue in the town of Lake, and half a block on Greenwood avenue between 5lst and 52d streets, in the most fashionable part of Kenwood. | All this Froverty was originally owned by George W. Gage, who, in 1873, borrowed 150,000 trom Mrs.Green, giving & mortgage on the land to secure the loan, Only a small amount of interest and none of the principal was ever paid. In 1876 the mortgage was foreclosed, and Mrs, Green bought the property in, and has held it ever since. The property had in the meantime been transferred to Cornell, who brought the suit, alleging flawe in the foreclosure. —_———>_—_ DUNBAR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS, Suits to be Brought in Their Behalf Against the Mine Owners.

On Mon- day or Tuesday next the preliminary trips will be made by the vessel to test her machinery for the first time.

Garena, Itt, July 15.—John Roth, who out- did Tanner in his celebrated fast, died yester- day at the county asylum, having passed his sixtieth day of total abstinence from food of any kind or nourishment except a slight quan- tity of water, which was forced into his stom- ach mechanically every twenty-four hours. For such an absolute fast his record is no doubt the longest ever made, Recently Roth worked at Seales Mound, near this city, until attacked by progressive paralysis two months ago,which incapacitated him for work and soon imade it impossible for him to cat. Afler a week of fasting he was brought to the county asylum on the 280 of May aud there lingered for fifty- three days without food. Ratlroad Economy.

Pumapetrai, July 15.—At 10 a.m. tomor- row in the Continental Hotel, this city, a sub- committee of the permanent com- mittee of the world’s fair is to meet and advise with those Philadelphians prominent in the centennial exposition as to the most feasble means of assuming the success of the world’s fair in Chi The subcommittee consists of Mr. J. A. McKenzie of Oak Grove, Ky., the chairman of the com- mittee on permanent organization; Mr. J. H. Breslin of New York, A. T. Eming of Illinois, M. V. Harrison of Minnesota, C._Kerens of St. Louis and P. A, B. Widener of this city, with Mrs, Holaday as secretary and official stenographer. Some of the party have monty ived in the city and the others are expec! tomorrow or about the close of the week. The meetii are to go on from day to pee d until all the information bearing on the subject that can be had here is ob- tained. When asked about the rumor that they had come here for financial aid, Mr. McKenzie replied: “The rumor that we have come here to enlist Philadelphia capital in the fair is untrue. Our object in coming is purely and simply to gain information that will be of value to the commission. “We were instructed to cable for a full set of reports on the Paris exposition and to secure, if possible, the presence of the late director eneral, Whether he will come or not we jemaieet yet learned, and so, of course, the time of his arrival would be conjectural only. “We are particularly anxious to learn the details of Philadelphia's arrangements for her exposition, and this city was chosen as the place where those with whom we wish to ocon- sult can be most easily seen. “The gentleman with whom we will consult is Mr. ‘Themes Cochran, who was at the head of your finance committee, and he is looked to for « great deal of assistance, and we hope to have him with us tomorrow.” —o—— THE.

The pageant on that occasion is to cost some £12,000 and represents the “glories of the XVI century.” It has been designed by Gustave Den Duyts, the well- known painter, whose ‘Pacification of Ghent” mn excited so much attention fifteen ears ago. He is assisted by M.M. Julian Dil- lens and John Baes, and the fivo allegorical cars are tobe surrounded by one thousand persons in renaissance costumes, The whole of the Belgian royal family reassembles at Brussels on the 19th and many royal visitors are expected at the palace, —_->—_—_ Telegraphic Briefs.

The House committee on elections today heard arguments by Judge John McClure of Arkansas, Clayton’s representative, upon the Breckinridge Arkansas election .case, Judge McClure began his argument by attacking Mr. Breckinridge in reply to certain statements made by that gentleman, as exhibited in the Record. He charged that Breckinridge had sought to incite his partisans to treat him (McClure) as they had treated Clayton, but he warned them that if he was assassinated his friends would require a greater measure of atonement than was permitted by the Mosaic law, At this point Representative Crisp made jection to the continuation of th: line of argument, and was about to retire when Chairman Rowell interposed and de- sired the counsel to avoid personalities, etch lge , Judge McC! CA entered into an analysis of the testimony with the urpose of showing that the : * CLAYTON MURDER AND SUBSEQUENT TRAGEDIES, such as the killing of the detective Benjamin. were purely political offenses. He resented the effort which, he said, had been made to make the people of Arkansas responsible for the series of crimes which he sought to connect as partof a general plan carried out by poli- ticians and ballot box stuffers and stealers with a deliberate purpose to reverse the will of the people as expressed at the pee He re- ferred sarcastically to Mr. Breckinridge’s con- tention that the election officers had been vindi- cated, roading Judge Cunningham's charge to the grand jury and declaring that it was the first time he had ever heard thata legal con- viction was @ vindication of the person con- vieted, THE ALLEGED FRAUDULENT VOTES, Analyzing the testimony respecting the de- tails of the vote cast in the district, Judge Mc- Clure held that outside of Conway county and in Woodruff county aloue there was evidence ot fraud ample to reverse the declared result of the election. Probably it would be argued by Mr. Breckinridge that the colored men who voted for him were afraid to admit it, as they would be socially ostracised by their own people. As the ballots them- selves contained evidence that they were cast openly it could hardly be held @ reasonable conclusion that a man who had openly voted the democratic ticket would be afraid to say so openly. As a matter of fact Mr. reckinridge did not cull any colored men who had voted for him, but had relied on the testimony of a tow Jndages of election to the effect that they had seen nothing wrong at the election. Judge Me- Clure also attacked andridiculed the Hooper theory of the killing of Clayton, arguing that an admission in its validity would imply con- nivance by Mr. Breckenridge or his counse), MR, BRECKINRIDGE TO REPLY. Mr. Breckenridge will reply tomorrow with a brief prepared by ex-Attorney General Gar- land, NO STRIKE EXPECTED. It is Said the Trouble at the Government Printing Office Will be Settled. There will be no strike at the Government Printing Office today, nor will there be one to- morrow or any other day on the subject which has caused considerable talk lately. It has been stated that a crisis had arrived in the fight between the Pressmen's Union and the half score or more bolters from that organiza- tion, Unless the seceders return to the fold, said the rumor, the eutire force of union press- men and compositors would quit work. This statement is only half the truth. If the issue wos between these two factions and the seoeders refused to come back there would un- doubtedly be a strike, if the public printer would permit it, Now the public printer is not saying a word—refused, very politely, to give any information on the matter to a ‘Stan re- porter who called to see him this afternoon— but there is an impression abroad to the effect that before a strike becomes possible there will be just ax many vacancies in the press room as there are “‘bolters,” Members of Congress who are more or leas in- terested in trades unionism say that any attempt at a strike would result in legislation that would convert the semi-independent Govern- ment Printing Office into a departmental bu- reau, eda ns ns DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. ‘THE PAVING OF NINETRZENTH STREET.

A Question Whether the Proposed New Rule Will Limit Debate. ‘The action of the senatorial caucus last night in changing the proposed “previous question” rule so as to permit limit of debate “after a reasonable time,” instead of after three days, and finally their failure to take definite action on the general proposition, is regarded as favorable to the opponents of the federal election bill. opposed to this bill ey pope! who are po pacestdnrad an proposed change ral are eo minority and cannot successfully make a direct fight in the caucus,but i delay secured, and the gives quite a wide The opponents of the measure are making diplomat ht. Action was staved off at fret caucus by the proposition to appoint a committee to prepare the new rule. Again, at the caucus last night further delay was secured by the change in the form of the rule and by absence of a ber of Senators. The rer of a rule providing that after a “veasonable time for debate” a motion may be made to fix a time for the vote leaves room for independence of action by individual Senators, bans upon a difference as to what is “reasonable time.” What is a reasonable time for the consideration of one bill may not be a reasonable time for the dis- cussion of another more important measure. A prominent republican Senator said today that he thought six weeks would be a reason- able time for the discussion of the tariff bill. Certainly that much time might be spent in the consideration of that bill and much yet re- main to be said on the subject. The democrats would probably demand that mueb time if there were no such thing as federal ection bill.

Lacy calls Gen, Early a “drunken Thersites and hoary-headed slan- derer, now waxed insolent and wantou upon the bounty of the lottery.” Continuing, be says: “Gifted with a fine memory and average abilities, Early presents the sad spectacle of one who has cultivated only the malevolent passions until, like vipers, they constantly hiss from his lips. Who can look without ashudder of sorrow and pity, mingled with contempt and scorn, upon that aged and bowed form, clothed with cursing as with a garment, pour- ing forth upon all who differ with him’ abuse and slander, froma heart and mind full of wrath, malice and uncharitableness except when’ full of bad whisky, The exact words of Gen, Lee, es written down they were by me on the day upon which uttered, were: ‘Among the younger men im the army of Northern Virginia I think William Mahone developed the highest qualities for or- ganization and command,’ This would still we Early a chance to be the successor of Lee, ut after his rene experience even he could hardly have hoped for an independent com- mand.” In conclusion Maj. Lacy says: ‘The pres- ence at the north and in the south of that old bourbon element, which is alike unable to learn or to forget, is most unfortunate and in- jurious, The reverseof the benediction pro- hounced upon the peacemakers should surely fall upon the stirrers-up of strife; the men who rake amid the ashes of the past to brin; ether the coals now almost extinguishe: and rekindle upoa the alters of sectioual preju- dice and party aggrandizement the fires which once burut all too fiercely.

WASHINGTON, D.C., TUESDAY, JULY 15/1890, THE HEWETT ESTATE, Another Paper Filed—Mr. Sutherland Says Certain Statements Are Scandalous. Inthe case of Laura G. Robinson (nee Hewett), by her next friend, Edwin Sutherland, guardian, agt Rachel Hewett, W.F. and C. W. Hewett, EB. Hay and L. E. Burket for the appointment of trustees, charging mismanagement of the es- tate of RC. Hewett, the complainant has, by Mesers, Cole & Cole, filed exceptions to the answer, The complainant states that the an- swer of Rachel M. Hewett and E. B. Hay is in many parts impertinent. They quote from the answer a clause stating that they were about to go into court and ask for such proceedings as would be necessary for their gratification as trustees; that they had requested Mr. Cook to Prepare the bill, but he failed to do so, and charging that the guardian had gone out of his way to make a pub examination of family affairs and the status of an i i e complainant says that this is irrelevant and irresponsive to any matter in the bill. As to the clause stating that Col. Cook had received 1,000 in settlement of his cause of Hewett against Gleason, which should have been paid direct to the administrators, but has credited it on a bill of ch: he says he was instructed and agreed that the same should be paid by check to the order of W. F. Hewett, administrator, He states that the averment that W. F. Hewett, out of his own personal means, loaned money to the Washington ball club is wholly irresponsive to anything in the bill and relates exclusively to the ball matters and indi- vidual actions of W. F, Hewett, about which defendants, Rachel M. Hewott and E. B. Hay, could have had no knowledge. The statement ‘as to liabilities of the club at the date of death of the testator —843,458.54—he says is irrelevant and impertinent, as also the denial that W. F. Hewett managed the club as he saw fit and the averment that,as president of the club, he sacrificed his business, &c. Mr, Sunderiand also files exceptions to the assetting that portions of it are scan- dalous, citing the clause charging the alle; tions of the billas malicious, wrongful, uncalled for and hurtful to the standing and unsullied reputation of Mr. Hewett. Also that charging that he (Mr. Sutherland) was unknown to Mrs. Robinson when, on the advice of Mr. Cook, he was appointed guardian, and that he has made dissensions in a family in which harmony had existed, and his conduct is malicious, annoying and wrongful, — n ite face an endeavor to involve the estate in litigation. He submits that these and other extracts are highly scandalous as respects him and Mr. Cook, who is nota party tothe bill, but who was appointed by the testator to act as counsel and attorney in the settlement of the estate. M:. Sunderland also files exceptions to the answer of W. F. Hewett, charging that certain portions are scandalous. Among these por- tions of the statements is one charging that Mr. Cook in his advice had not protected the interests of the estate, but had so managed it as to enrich himself, and another charging on information and belief that this suit was begun at his (Cook's) instance, that they would be compelled to employ him.’ He says there was no averment of the bill justifying thischarge. Mr. Sunderland asks that the case be referred to the auditor as an examiner to take proof as to the scandalous matter. nt Real Estate Matters. Henrietta C. Noble has bought for $10,900 of W. J.
