Two More Culprits Arrested Today by a Bevy of Detectives. Axzany, N.Y., Sept. 8.--The mystery attend- ing the apprehension of John Reed, who was detained in Superintendent Bissell’s office all day yesterday on suspicion of being one of the Central train wreckers, was partially explained this morning by the arrest of John Kiernan, West Albany freight brakeman living at 386 24 stroct, jn Albany, and Jobn Cordi: freight conductor living at 583 Livingston avenue. Both men are married and are striking gir, 4 belonging to Local Assembly No, 10740. These men were arrested at their homes at 3 o'clock this morning, after a thorough search of the city for them by adozen detectives. among whom were City Detectives Dwyer, McCann, Connors, Sweeney and Nolan, Central Road De- tectives Jackson, Devine ‘and Humphreys, Capt. Davidsen and Robert A. Pinkerton, 1 these men were concerned in the arrests of the two men and citizens who witnessed their entrance to the station houses said it was # ludricious scene to see Cordial brought to the second precinct in charge of six men and Kiernan in charge of four men when he was brought to the fifth precinct. The detectives clung to each otheras though they were afraid to prosecute the search for the men singly, evidently thinking if the men wore arrest by the whole detail it would be better for each one individually to share in the reward offered rather than scatter and let each man take his chances in effecting an arrest and thus capture a big reward for bimeelf. A reporter last night by accident got into the room next to where Reed was confined in the Union depot and his curiosity being aroused he listened intently for half an hour to the whis- pered questioning of Reed by Chief Pinkerton and Detective Humphreys. REED'S GIVE-AWAY. From the stray words which reached his ears it is evident that at the timo he was in there Reed had about given everything away. One of the questions asked Reed by Pinkerton which was distinctly heard,was: ‘How did they get back to West Albany?’ The answer was given in a more subdued tone and was unintelligible. It seems to be ap- parent from this that the arrest of Kiernan and Cordial were the result of information given by The reporter then left the room and awaited developments outside. He had been there but a few minutes when the city detectives named above came hurriedly into the depot and were closeted with Pinkerton for half an hour, when they strolled out singly and went back to the sec- ond precinct station, as though nothing had happened. This morning we have the arrest of two men by these same detectives. Both risoners were taken to the Rensselaer county fait this morning at 9 o'clock. icion was attached to Réed from the fact that he had been very prominent in East Al- bany iu his hostility to the Pinkerton men there. He stoned them night and day, and once when caught by three of the Pinkertons severely clubbed and he made dire threata against the road. These three men at the time reported the occurrence to Chief Pinker- ton, and when the wreck occurred of course he ‘was suspected. See RECIPROCALLY INCLINED.

Hollander, who has a claim against Guatemala for being ‘try; has, through Senator Edmunis, presented ‘an additional memorial to Congress, Hollander was publishing a paper in Guatemala at the time of his expalsion, and in his statement to the State Department of the damages he had suffered placed the value of his printing estab- lishment at 964,612, Besides this he estimated the value of other property and contracts and debts of which he had been deprived by the arbitrary action of the Guatemalan govern- meft at $261,470. To this amount he added a of $100,000. In his addi- ial Hollander says he is informed by the State Department that Guatemala has consented to his temporary return in order that he may endeavor to collect what may remain out of the wreck of his property, but he is dalious about being able te accomplish any- thing suat will reduce the amount of bis claims sgainst Guatemala, The memorial was re- ferred to the Senate committee on foreign re- lations, OBEGON LAWS FOR ALASKA.

This afternoon a telephone message was re- ceived et police headquarters that a serious and perhaps fatal fight had taken place near Woodley Inn on the Tenleytown road between two laborers employed on the work of subdividing the property. Both men “were colored, Their names could not be ascertained by telephone. What caused:the fight could not be learned, but it was stated that one man severely beat the other and kicked him in the stomach. A dirt shovel was also used and the victim was knocked senseless with it, He was cared for by Mr. Brown, who has charge of the work, and that gentleman also detained the man who inflicted the probable fatal injuries, The seventh precinct patrol wagon was sent out to the scene of the fight with a stretcher to remove the injured man. An officer went with the wagon to take charge of the colored man who inflicted the injuries, and he will be locked up at the Georgetown police station. atin STABBED A FELLOW-PRISONER. A Murderous Assault Made by a Man in the Work House. There was a stabbing case in the work houso Saturday morning. William Seymour was the assaulted negro, Benjamin Duff; alias George Smith, was hisfassailant, It appears that one of Duff's friends who had violated a rule of the work house was in chains, and Seymour said: “It’s a good thing. This remark angered Duff and he said toSey- mour: “I'll fix you when we get out.” The men were marching down the steps when Duff asked one of the officers to loan him a penknife to trim a piece of leather off his shoe. The watchman, not suspecting anything wrong, handed Duff his knife. Instead of trimming a piece of leather off his shoe Duff plunged the knife into Seymour's chest near tho heart. The wounded man fell to the ground and was-picked up by Dr. H. J. Cros- son, who sewed up the wound. Today Duff was taken to the Police Court, where he was charged with assault and battery with intent to kill.

The Bill Net Recommitted—Mr. Meore Proposes a Commission to Settle the Track Question Muda Explains About South Washington, —>—_— ‘The House was called to order this morning with a very thin attendance. According to rales the day was to be given up to the com- mittee on the District of Columbia, and as usual the Atkinson bill bade fair to absorb the entire day. A quorum, however.was an exceed- ingly necessary article, and the prospect for one seemed rather dim. Before even the journal wasread Mr. Anderson madea it of no quorum. A count of the House disclosed the presence of only eighty-nine members. A call of the House was ordered, but by this means only one hundred and thirty-six members were obtained. A resolution was agreed to direct- ing the sergeant-at-arms to secure the attend- ance of absent members and the House settled down to await developments, Mr. Cummings caused considerable amusement on the democratic side by asking unani- mous consent that the Maine delegation be excused ffom attendance on ac- count of pressing business. After fifteen min- utes’ waiting a quorum was obtamed and fur- ther proceedings under the call were dispensed with and the journal read. ‘THE ATKINSON BILL CALLED UP. After the journal had been approved several little bills were passed, after which Mr. Atkin- son demanded the regular order and the much-debated- Atkinson Dill was called up. Mr. Burrows, the Spesker pro tem. explained that the pending motion was Mr. Moore's motion to recommit the bill with instructions to amend it s0 as to provide for the removal of the depot off the mall, Twenty minutes’ debute remained on both sides on the motion, the previous questior having been ordered, and Mr. Mudd took the floor for the purpose of attempting toexplain his recent remarks in regard to South Washington, in which he referred to that section as Murder Bay and Hell's Bottom and said the city would be better off if the entire section should be entirely girdled with railroad tracks. MR. MUDD'S EXPLANATION. Mr. Mudd said his remarks had been misun- derstood and misconstrued. He referred to the editorial in Taz Star in which attention was called to Mr. Mudd’s remarks, Mr. Mudd pleaded the greatest respect for the people of South Washington. He had never meant to say anything disrespectful of that section. In is use of the words ‘Murder Bay” and “Hell’s Bottom” he probably id made a mistake and he did not wish to lay any claim to any especial knowledge of the séction to which he had referred. Mr. Mudd said he had an amendment to offer in the interests of South Washington. ANXIOUS FOR FREIGHT PACILITIES, Mr. Oates took the floor and told how much he wanted the bill to pass and how southern freight had been delayed at Alexandria by the lack of freight facilities in this city. ‘MR. QUINN'S UNANSWERED QUESTION. Mr. Quinn asked if the gentleman knew of any city in the world outside of this country where railroads entered a city at grade. Mr. Moore then took the floor. He said he wished to withdraw his amendment, as he had a proposition which had been accepted by the friends of the bill and which he thought would be satisfactory to all hands. He wished to have this proposition read, which was dons, A PROPOSED COMMISSIOX. ‘The amendment reads: That the subject of the location and reloca- tion of the tracks, sidings and stations of the Baitimore and Potomac and Baltimore and Ohio Rrailroad Companies in the city of Wash- ington be referred to a competent and im- partial commission, composed of three persons, one an expert in one an engineer and one a representative of the city, to be appointed by the President, Said commission shalt thoroughly and impar- tially investigate the subject and shall file a report, with accompanying bill, at the opening of the first session of the Fifty-second Con- gress. ‘MR. ANDERSON DENOUNCES THE BILt. Mr. Anderson followed in s vigorous denun- ciation of the bill. The country could not af- ford to pass any such bill as this, It was an outrage on the city and on the country and showed the extent to which a railroad would go in its effort to grasp that which did not be- long to it. FAVORING MR. MOORE’S PROPOSITION. Mr. J. D. Taylor of Olio thought the propo- sition advanced by Mr. Moore was the most satisfactory ending of the controversy. A large body of representative citizens were on both sides of the question and a commission, he thought, would be satisfactory to every one. SLIGHTLY MODIFIED. Mr. Perkins wanted Mr. Moore's amendment modified so as to provide for the commission's reporting at any time not later than the com- mencement of the Shah Sepsoe Congress, Mr. Moore accepted the amendment. Mr. Morey went into » personal explanation of his change of base on the railroad question MR. ATKINSON TAKES THE FLOOR, Mr, Atkinson then took the floor on the original amendment providing for the removal of the station, He said the motion to recom- mit was passed under a misapprehension, which had been speedily rectified. The citi- zens of the District had _ arisen as one man against the proposition. Mr. At- kinson ae a petition which, he said, contained 18,000 good names in opposition to the moving of the station. The motion to recommit was then put and lost, THE RESOLUTION TO RECOMMIT Lost. Mr. Anderson made a point of no quorum. A count failed to show a quorum and the ayes and noes were ordered on the resolution to recommit with instructions to report a bill moving tho station. The vote was in no way a test vote on the abstract question of the merits of the bill as many members voted against the proposition on account of their opposition to the removal of the depot or in view of the understanding which it was said had been reached by which both, sides were to agree to the commission plan brought forward by Mr. Moore. On the roll call ‘the vote stood—ayes, 42; noes, 118, the Speaker counting a quorum. esr coMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE AGAIN. Mr. Atkinson then moved that the Honse re- solve itself into committee of the whole for the consideration of District bills. On the vote Mr. Anderson made the point of no quorum, Tho Speaker's count disclosed only 137 mem- bers present and the yeus and nays were ordered, ‘The vote on the motion to go into committee of the whole resulted ayes 116, noes 33—the Speaker counting a quorum, Mr. Daunell was then called to the chair, DEBATING THE BILL.

Mr. Anderson therefore offered the - ‘HE SAYS THE CHARGE THAT THE COMMISSIONER GAVE HIM AX UXDUE ADVANTAGE IX THE COM- There were four members of the special House committee investigating the charges against Commissioner Raum present at the meeting this morning. Mr. Goodnight was de- tained in Kentucky by sickness in his family. Judge Wilson said that he was ready to pro- ceed with the examination of Mr. Cooper, ‘MR. COOPER RESENTED IT. Mr. Cooper resented this statement and pro- tested against the diversion of the investiga- tion, He said he had been diligently trying to testim rise Bat in bieabeonce Mr. "Wileon "hud attacked him and tried to convey the impression that he "le did net to turn the investi@ati 1@ e in’ ge Wilson. Ho othe over to Judge m. He appealed to the committee as gentlemen of honor to say if that "Judge Wilson replied that opened as Ly i 1 to learn exactly what it was that . Cooper charged against his client, Mr. Lemon, He did not press the matter, however. MR, LEMON WAS CALLED TO THE 8TAXD and read a prepared statement, which was to the effect that as the first charge did not con- cern him he had nothing to say. As to the second charge, which referred to himself, he said that he had known Gen. Raum for twenty- five years. His financial standing was high and his endorsers were men of reputation. So when he wanted money to open up his mining property witness endorsed two of his notes, one for $2,000 and one for $10,000, which were subsequently extended. THE INDIANAPOLIS INTERVIEW. Respecting the charge that witness secured undue advantage from the completed files order, as recited in an interview published in an Indianapolis newspaper on the authority of Mr. Cooper, witness called attention to the statement that 12,000 of his cases had been ad- vanced and that he made $240,000 in fees from them ina skort time. He asked if the inter- view was authentic. Mr. Cooper replied that it was substantially correct and went on to explain how he had ar- rived at his conclusions, MR, LEMON DEFENDS TRE ORDER. Continuing his statement, Mr. Lemon said that the completed tiles order was not novel in principle, but that it had been the practice of the office for years toward the end of a fiscal year to pick out such completed cases and dis- pose of them. Thathad been dono by Com- missioner Black. It was a wise prac- tice, and if witness had been instru- mental in having it continued through the whole year he was very glad, as ho felt that the soldiers and the country had been bene- fited. He produced a table to show the num- ber of his cases allowed, showing that Commis- sioner Black had in seven months allowed 7,047 of his cases, and that Commisioner Raum had in a like time allowed 6,689. Gen. Biack had allowed the largest number of witnesses’ claims he had ever had allowed in any one month. The charge that Commissioner Raum had given any undue advantage in the completed les order was AN UNQUALIFIED FALSEHOOD. And, furthermore, it would be an abyolute impossibility for the commissioner to favor him. He could not do it if he would. He (Lemon) denied in the broadest terms that the order was asked for or intended to apply in his cases, or in any manner to favor him over other attorneys, It was a general rule against which nothing could be said except from ig- norance or malice. If but one-half or one- third of these cases in the completed files were allowed the order was amply justified by the results. In view of the fact that he had had transferred to the completed files but 5,473 cases since September 1, 1889, it would be apparent that Mr. Coo- per charged that he had_ realized $240,000 in fees from such cases was inaccurate. Witness had never asked anything from Coin- missioner Raum or any other commissioner to which he was not entitled as any attorney. Unfair as Mr. Cooper had been he invited him to come to his’ office any day and examine every case and every employe. He wanted him to come in the front door hke aman and not hunt up discharged clerks. That would obviate the necessity for making baseless charges. “NONE OF YOUL BUSINESS.” At the conolusion of the reading of the paper Mr. Cooper cross-examined the witness. He asked what witness’ fortune was, to which wit- ness promptly replied: ‘That is none of your business,” and returned the same answer to the next question as to the amount of his annual income. Mr. Cooper then returned to the attack b; asking if witness had not been charged wit forging Mr. Colfax’s name to a certificate. Witness replied that he hadnot. If the com- mittee desired to go into that he wished to be allowed to call witnesses, as it related to a transaction twenty-two years ago. ‘MR. COOPER ASKED if witness had not induced himself, or through his clerk, George B. Squires, a private secre- tary of tho last administration, to stamp pen- sion cases over night anc: put them on the ex- aminer’s desk. Witness said he had no knowledge of such practice. If his clerk, Mr. Taber, had given wine suppers to Pension Office employes he had not authorized it nor paid the bills. He knew that Mr. Taber had been discharged from the Pension Office, but didn’t now re- call the reason. Mr. Taber could answer on that point, Mr. Raum had first spoken to witness about money maticrs in January, before he became commissioner. When witness’ pro- | teappe to make an order like the completed les orde- was under discussion Deputy Com- missioner Lincoln had objected that its effect would be to turn all of the foree of the office “ep witness’ cases, but that was a wrong elief. COMPLETED FILES AFTER RECESS. After the recess Mr. Cooper resumed the cross-examination of Mr. Lemon. He asked if witness saw anything indelicate in going upon the commissioner's note considering the rela- tions he bore to the department, The witness replied that he did not or he would not have done it. ir. asked if witness did not know that President Arthur had removed Judge Hoover of Arizona becauss he had borrowed money of a litigant before his court, Witness replied that he did not. A8 TO THE INDORSEMENT OF RAUM’S NOTE.

Carrington stated that in a case in Prince George's county, Md.. he had recently examined into the law and claimed that the mother waa the | custodian and the burden of proof was on respondent. PARKER'S ANSWER AND CHARGES, The answer of Mr. Parker states the mar- riage in October, 1888, and the parentage of the child, admits that he took possession of the child and states that it is now in his custody and it is bis intention to keep possession of it if it be the pleasure of the court. He ethphati- cally denies the statement of the petitioner as to her account of the visit to Dr. Brown's office, He states that he received information Septem- ber 1 of the intimacy of his wife with various men and particularly with Brown at his rooms, 817 15th street, Hoe determined, he states, to ascertain the truth or falsity of the reports. He then reports what appears in his bill of d- vorce, that he told his wife he was going to New York and she seemed delighted. He did not go and followed his wife. He says he re- ceiveda message on the $d instant that his wife was at Dr. Brown's office and sent his brother to the place and then entered and made the discovery that his wifg was there. find- ing her and Dr. Brown under circum- stances which confirmed his suspicions. He further avers that June 6 Brown and his wife, registering as man and wife, stopped at Solari’s; that on July 4 Brown vistited her at Asbury Park. He states that he has recently learned that abouta year ago she received visits from Brown and others and on her return from Asbury Park he found a photograph of Brown in her trunk, which she claimed Brown had given her.

He further states that the child is with his sister, Mrs, James J. Shedd, where every attentionand care is given it, and says the child cannot go into better hands. He states that on the 4th instant he filed the suit for divorce and the petition should have been filed in that suit, A CHANCE TO LOOK IT ovER. Mr. Bell was about to read affidavits in sup- port of the return. Mr. Cook suggested that the afidavits need notbe read then for they had the right to traverse the return and he asked a continuance until tomorrow, Mr. Field said they had come here prepared tosupport their answer and he suggested that the petitioner could not be much taken by sur- prise. Mr. Carrington said that the statements of respondent could not be proven by affidavits, ‘The answer charges acrime and in euch case the accused should be confronted by witnesses. Judge Bradley said the mother had some rights; that the custody of a child of tender years should be with the mother and he had, when the cuso was brought to his attention, suggested an early day for the hearing. ‘Mr. Field said they had come prepared to go on with the hearing The judge then remarked that the mother's feelings should be consulted to some extent. CONTINUED TILL TOMORROW. Mr. Cook said she desired a continuance till tomorrow to meet the charges. The judge then continued the hearing to 11 o'clock tomorrow. —_—__.___— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. MR. W. C. DODGE PROPOSES ARBITRATION. As carly as 1886 Mr. W. C. Dodge wrote to the Commissioners complaining of the injury to his property, 102 and 116 8 street northeast, in con- sequence of defective sewerage, Recently he wrote another letter to the Commissioners re- questing that inasmuch as he did not care to be put at the unnecessary expense of gcing into the courts that the matter be submitted to arbitration. He said, however, that unless an amicable settlement could be had he would be under the necessity of instituting a suit against the District. The Commissioners were not certain that they had the power to refer such matters to arbitration and called upon the attorney for the District to set- tle the question. He says in his opinion, which was submitted today, that it does not appear whether the stoppage ‘and ob- struction complained of occurred in the pipe sewer in the street or in Mr. Dodge's lateral connection with it, and as these facts are ma- terial to the question as to the liability of the District he cannot give any opinion until these points are made clear to him BUILDING PERMITS were issued today as follows: John D.

A New Rule in the Police Court. In tho Police Court today Judge Miller said to Prosecuting Attorney Dumont that he in- tended adopting a new rule providing for cali- ing up the prisoners the first thing in the morning or as soon as the informa- tions were filed. He thonght that by such a rule all the prisoners who plead guilty could receive their sentence and be sent to the jal or workhouse and others would learn of the charges against them #0 that when called for trial they could not say that they are taken by surprise. It will give such persons a better opportunity to prepare for trial, r, Dumunt said he thought such a rule would be beneficial, both to the court and the prison: ers, and Judge Maller said that he would try to putat into effect tomorrow. —— Real Estate Matters, Weller & Repetti have bought for @12,221.85 of R.
