He Thinks the Chances of Passing the Elec- tion Bill Have Improved. There was a gleam of hope in Senator Hoar's eye at 11:30 this morning—in both eyes in fact. “The chances of the elections bill,” said he to an inquisitive reporter, “have materially im- proved of late. There is now a greater proba- bility of ite passage than has previously existed although I have never been hopeful as to ulti- mate success. It cannot be laid aside unless the Senate adopts a rule to that effect, “Would I consent to such actiou? No! I would oppose it with all my might.” ai eee BETTER MARRIAGE LAWS. Provisions of the Bill Introduced by Repre- sentative Grout Today. Mr. Grout introduced in the House today the much-talked-over and much-expected bill in- tended to put on a better basis the marriage laws of the District. The bill gives the form in which licenses shall be made out. To each license is to be ap- pended two certificates, which are to be signed by the minister who performed the ceremony. One certificate is to be returned to the clerk of the Supreme Court and the other handed tothe contracting __ parties. Before issuing any license “the clerk is to examine on oath the mn makin, appl n to ascertain first the full names o} th second, their place of residence; third, their ages, color, whether married or single, whether related oF not, and, if so, in what degree of relationship, their birthplace and occupation, which facts are to be set down in a printed form and signed by the applicant. ‘The clerk ix to keep an accurate record of every- thing in connection with the isaue and the receipt of certificates and_a certified copy of ti | the record of said record of license and certiti- cute under the hand of the clerk and seal of the court ix to constitute competent evidence of the marriage. ‘No license is to be issued unless the male is twenty-one years of age and the female sixteen yeurs, provided, however, if the consent of the parents or guardian be proved the license may issued. Such licenses, when produced, shall be full authority to any minister authorized to cele- brate marriages in the District. Any minister marrying persons without such license is sub- ject to a fine of from $100 to 2600. Neglect of &u minister to return within forty-eight hours the certificate to the clerk is subject to a fine of from #25 to $200. A minister of any religions denomination, whether his residence be in the District or else where, upon proof furnixhed to the clerk of the Supreme Court of his having been appointed or ordained according to the rites und cere- monies of his religious denomination shall. be authorized to solemnize marriage in the Dis trict of Columbia and shall receive fi clerk a certificate to that effect. If the clerk inue a license contrary to law he any per- is to be fined from 9100 to 3500 and son officiates in a ceremony without being — by law he is to be fined from $100 to $500. ee The G.A.R.

ELEVEN JURYMEN IN THE BOX. When the court adjourned Saturday night there were eleven men in the box unchallenged. These were Geo. E. Johnggn, Geo. W. Simms, Chas. H. Turner, Isaac H. McCathran, John M. Ruppert, Jos, 8. Worthington, Peter Carroll, Joseph _C. Witmer, Wm. Foy, Wm. ©. Peake, Henry H. Stanford. ‘ The challenges of the government had then been exhausted and the defense had one left. When the court opened this morning Chief Justice Bingham read a statement he had re- ceived from Mr. Peter Carroll, one of the eleven men in the box, stating that when examined Saturday he had unintentionally stated his age as fifty-five, when, a8 a matter of fact, he was sixty-five. MR. CARROLL'S AGE. stated in answer to the judge’s inquiries that he was sixty-five on the 2d of next month. The court said if he were not yet sixty-five he was still competent as a juror. ‘The district attorney asked Mr, Carroll in what year he was born. Mr. Carroll said he could not remembet; the words, he said, were so blotted that they could not easily be deciphered. ‘The judge asked if the record could be brought to court, and Mr. Carroll stated that there was no one at his house. ‘The district attorney referred to the Angney' case which the Court in General Term had re- manded for a new trial because it was shown that one of the jurors was over sixty-five. ‘The court xent to the library for the report of the Angney case. When the decision’was brought it was found to be to the purport that in ease of fraud per- petrated by the juror in -reproventing, hintecif as qualified when he was really disqualitied by age the verdict would be invalidat2. DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER HE WAS FIFTY-FIVE, SIXTY-FIVE OR SEVENTY-FIVE. | The judge examined Mr. Carroll further and | found that he was much in doubt about his age, whether it was fifty-five, sixty-five or sev- enty-five. He said his famil; | tion to the fact that he was sixty | went home Saturday night. Hi te | er, who had the record, had telegraphed yesterday that he was too old to serve. Mr. Carroll said he came to the city in 1844, | when James K. Polk was elected, and he was | then a young man, he thonght, sixteen or sey- enteen years of age. The fudge remarked that that would make him now sixty-two or sixty-three years old. The question was discussed by counsel at some length, the district attorney urging that the statements showed there was much doubt as to whether Mr. Carroll was qualitied or not. Senator Blackburn urged that the best evi- dence in the absence of records was the juror’s own recollection, and that was to the effect that he would be sixty-tive next month and next year. That comported well with his recol- lection of his age at the time of the ical event he recalled. He said that the, were re- luctant to let a juror go when so much time nm spent in securing a jury. Mr. Coleman and Mr. Wilson both urged that the question being raised as it was, if the court now decided from the: juror's statements that he was under sixty-five, that that was final and there would be no ground to stand on before the Court in General Term. MR. CARROLL RETAINED. Judge Bingham after reviewing the matters that had transpired said the only hazard in the case was the good faith of Mr. Carroll in his statements. Otherwise whatever action the court took now would be conclusive. In the case of Angney cited it was shown juror knew at the time he was examined that he Wa over sixty-five and a fraud was perpetrated. He thought in this case that the only course for the court wag to take the juror's own state- ments and retain the juror. The evidence seemed to be that Mr. Carroll is not yet sixty- five years of age and is therefore competent. ‘The clerk then called the twenty talesmen summoned with a view to filling the vacancy in the panel. Henry A Linger of Anacostia was excused on account of illness. Mr. E. 8. Alvord of 1710 15th street was ex- cused becanse he is eighty-two years old. Geo. M. Mattingly, 475 F street southwest, wax found to be under twenty-one years of age and was excused. John W. Thomas, 920 23d street northwest, a builder, said he could not say he had not | formed, as he knew of it, any opinion regurd- ing the case. He knew Mr. Ward slightly, but | | had had no business relations with him. ’The | | juror was accepted. This filled the box and brought the defense to their last challenge. Counsel for detense consulted in undertones together for afew minutes and then took Frank Ward, the accused, into consultation. They looked at the list of’ twelve anxiously and es fully, and now and then one of them scanned | the faces of the twelve men in the box as if to | derive from thut source the knowledge to guide them in the pruden tuse of their only remai ing challenge. One of the counsel also con- | sulted some friends of the defense sitting with ¢ bar. i THE LAST CHALLENGE. After a few minutes thus spent Mr. Wilson announced that the defense challenged Mr. Wm. €. Peake. Mr. Peake loft the stand and the court pro- ceeded to fill the vacancy. The first talesman called was ‘Thomas B. Cross. jr., 504 11th street southeast. Mr. Cross had opinions of the case, and said also he had such strong objection to verdict that would hang a man. “I would not,” he said, “be one of twelve parties to any man’s murder.” Mr. Crows was excused. : Frank H. Connolly, 2101 K street northwest, was excused because his opinion was too strong. Harry L. Birmingham, 1412 Pennsylvania avenue, was excused on account of hix opinion, which he said was so strong it would influence his verdict. “4 couldn't render a true verdict,” he mid, “unless the eleven other jurors go my way.” THE TWELPTIC MAN. Thomas Singleton Webster, Polk street: be- tween Jefferson and Valley, said he had heard more of the oase since he was summoned than oung ladies, who came in under the escort | }, ‘Mr. Carroll was called up to the stand and | that the | hi Tt was then 11:45 o'clock.

All Sorts of Queer Things Under the Hammer 4 at the Dead Letter Sale. Snch a collection of articles useful and beautiful and articles that are neither useful nor beautiful does not often accumulate as is now on exhibition and for sale at Ratcliffe, Darr & Co.’s auction rooms. It is the regular mile of the dead letter office, this means being taken to get rid of the articles that have gone astray in the mails and have found their way finally to that great mercantile and Literary graveyard. Ail sorts of things, from a soiled collar to a gold watch, from a corset steel toa box of doubtful cigars, are in this curious agglomeration. BARGAIN HUNTERS ON HAND. ‘The sale began this morning at 10 o'clock and a large crowd was present in the hope of picking up remarkable bargains. It was a typical anction crowd, made up of people with moncy and without money. On the shelves along the side of the long Toom were ranged hundreds of packages, all neatly tied up in rown paper. Seven mon were kept busy handing out the purchasesand taking in the cash. ‘Two of them with boxes fastened to the ends of long poles took care of the customers at a dis- tance from the auctioneer’s counter. The bid- ding was quite lively, considering that the peo. ple were buying their pign in » poke. ‘The prices were notlarge, ranging as a rule from 25 to 75 cents, but every article found # pur- chaser at some price. ‘A box of fifty cigars brought 70 cents. GO ACROSS THE STREET TO DIE. “Please go across the strect to smoke. We do not wish you to die on the premises.” This jocular remark of the auctioneer put the crowd in a good humor, and as a result lot 55, consist- ing of pair lndy’s hose, lady's handkerchief, child's cheap silk handkerchiefs, old veil, pin cushion, &c., brought 40 cents, i A collection of men’s woolen gloves, mittens, box microscope slides and smoking tobacco went off for a quarter. ‘Lot 70, a cheap silk handkerchief, cheap cot- ton handkerchief, mall sachet, pin cushion, cheap cotton trimming, &c., was thought to be abargainat40cents. A boxof twenty-five cigars was up. “Going at 50, going, going.” “Fi five.” piped up a shrill female y farther end of the room. “They're yours, ma'am,” said the auctioneer. “But take my advice and don’t give them to your husband or you will have to get along without his company for the rest of the winter.” No time was wasted. There were too many articles to be sold and everything went for what it wonld bring in a burt There are 4,817 miscellaneous articles in the catalogue, 1,396 books and 163 pieces of jewelry, so it will probably take some time to finish up the sale.

Provisions of the New Bill Introduced by Representative De Lano. ‘The movement in favor of a girls’ reform school for the District, where young girls can be separated from the influences of hardened criminals and taught useful oceupations, does not seem to be dead by any means. As related. in . THe Sar, an institution of this character was chartered by the last Congress, but no appropriation for the purpose was made. Last session a bill ap- propriating 275,000 for a site and buildings was reported by the committee on the Dis- trict of " Columbia. ‘There seems to |be some doubt, however, whether through the provisiéns of the act the old cor- poration has not lapsed, and to avoid all difti- culty Mr. De Lano, who all along has taken the greatest interet in the proj institution. ‘as introduced a new bill incorporating and ing for such an institution. ‘THE NEW BILL. The new bill contains many of the provisions of the old act. It provides that Bernard T. Janney, Robert Reyburn, Adoniram 8. Hunt- ington, E. Southard Parker, Owen G. Staples, Thomas P. Morgan an Alexander Graham Bell be created a body corporate, tobe known as the board of trustees of the Girls’ Reform School of the District of Columbia. ‘The corporation is authorized to establish and maintain a reform school for girls atany place within the District and for that purpose may receive by gift, grant or devise such real estate and personal’ property as may be neces~ pro sar Tf the company ceases for six months to maintain the school the property lapses to the United States. TRUSTEES AND LADY MANAGERS. The board of trustees, together with a board of lady managers, is to have the same power in relation to girls as the board of trustees of the retorm school possess in relation to boys. ‘The board of trustees and Indy managers. are to appoint teachers, &c., and fix their compen- sation subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, giving preference in such ap- pointments to females. Provisions of the net of May 3, 1876, not inconsistent with the present re made applicable to the institution, the girls” being understood where “boys” ighteen years” being instituted for “sixteen years.” For the purpose of ‘carrying into effect the provisions of the bill forty acres of the Arling- jon estate are set apart for the buildings and grounds and £30,000 is. appropriated for the purpose of building one wing of the building. = 2. a Elections of Officers. word curs in the act and St. John’s Lodge, No. 11, F.AA.M., has | elected the following officers for the ensuing Masonic year: Alexander McKenzie, W.M.

Among the members area good many sanitary engincers and others in similar pursuits. Delegates are sent by each state to represent the board of health at the convention the association, which is thus given an offi- cial character that enables it to do a large amount of effective work. The proceed- ings of the present convention will occupy four days, from the 16th to the 19th inclusive. ‘The discussion usually ranges over the entire eub- fect of sanitation and hygiene and is started Y papers on various topics.

Ur. Ames Will also point out the uccessity for a uniform system of publishing the pamphlets, reports and other documents of the sate bourds of WATER FILTRATION. ‘The muscum is at present the scene of aseries of experiments designed to reduce the question of water filtration on a large scale to an cxact basis. ‘Three or four firms of prominence have lent their aid, and it is expected that the ex- sults. They will cover a period of about a year. ——_—_—_-e.___—$_ “LOOKS NOW LIKE FIGHT.” A Telegram From Maj. Burke at Pine Ridge Indian Agency.

Burke, Buffalo Bill's right hand man, He is at Pine Ridge, and from that place he last night telegraphed the following to Mr. Allison Nailor: “Matters have drifted into a serious condi- tion. It looks now like a fight. My men acting admirably. Geologists may soon find lead in the Bad Lands. DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS. The Bill Nearly Ready to Report—A Petition for Free Kindergartens for Little Children. It was a formidable looking petition that a committee of ladies presented this morning to the subcommittee in charge of the District ap- propriation bill. The petition asked for free kin- dergartens in this city in connection with the public schools for children from four to six years of age. ‘The committee of Indies was pre- sented by Gen. Saxton and consisted of Mrs. Doolittle, Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Stephens, Mrs. George Doolittle, Mrs. Pollock and Mrs. Sherwood. Their case was presented in a most able manner and with the petition, which contained a large proportion of the prominent names in the city, a very favorable effec} was made on the committee. It is exceedingly improbable, however, that anything can be done this year for kindergartens ir: the city, however favorable the committee may be. ‘The ladies ask for an appropriation sufticient to carry on twenty free eirhes Sock ot the coleman inet i he work of the subcommittee it ny rapidly and this afternoon. they will. have the bill in shape to present to the full committee. Tomorrow im all probability will see the bill re~ ported to the House. CHRISTMAS CLUB. Providing a Bountifal Dinner for the Poor Children of East Washington. An enthusiastic meeting of the promoters of the children’s Christmss dinner for East Wash- ington was held Saturday evening at the resi- dence of Mr. A. P. Clark, 119 6th street north- cast. Mrs. Thomas W. Smith, chairman of the dinner committee, announced subcommittees on turkeys and meats, cake, ice cream, bread, &c., and proposed a bill of fare for the little ones, embracing cold turkey, buttered biscuit, cake, pickles, nuts and raisins, winding up with ice cream. The tickets of admirsion are distributed to the number of about seven hundred among the poor children of the northeast and the south- t by & committee of ladies by house to house tation, in which the aim is’ to select homes: ito which the joys of a real child's Christmas never enter. As the guests are mostly the younger children it is necessary to "send coaches to remote Ee to bring them to the hall. Col, G. W. Knox will furnish two large busses and Mr. Samuel G. Eberly, superinten- dent of the Herdie Company, will supply her- ica. ‘The teachers of the public schools of Capitol Hill enter with much zest into the work of pro- viding this annual feast to the unfortunate poor, ‘The pupils of the schools make the silk ages, dress the dolls and uct as waiters, be- sides selling badges to the amount of £200. ‘Trustee J. W. Whelpley, Superintendent Powell and the Commissioners of the District show an active interest in the Christmas club, and always honor the occasion by their presence.
