Mr. Moriarty Says He is Willing to Pay, But the Holder Wants a Bonus. Stephen F. Moriarty of New York has, by Sam'l M. Bryan for the delivery of “The stock of Fast Printing Supply Company's,” discovery and account. Complainant states that he was one of those who organized the company which was incorporated under the laws of the state of West Virginia; that the capital was fixed ai $2,500,000 in shares of $10 each, and 43,829 were issued to him, for which he agreed to pay $11,749.64 into the treasury, and he paid $3,790.60 in cash and gave notes for the balance, assigning 41,329 shares to defendant as collateral | security only. Complainant states that he sub- | sequently sent an agent to Bryan to} take up the notes and receive the! stock, but defendant refused to return the stock and demanded a bonus and he still | refuses to settle and, on information and be- | lief, says that the certificate for his shares has | been canceled and a new certificate issued to Bryan. While the stock, he states, is of no market value at present, he gives his belief that it will become ve~y valuable, and he is ready and willing to pay for it and any just in- debtedness which may be found due. He therefore prays for a decree for the transfer of the stock, a discovery of his certificate and an account as to what may be due by him. poco ttt POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION CASES. That of C. A.

John Theurer, the alleged crank who served time in jail for making threats of personal vio- lence toward Secretary Blaine and Sanitary Officer Frank and who was afterward sent to the work house for vagrancy, was released from that institution yesterday, and last night he entered the first precinct station and asked to be sent back to the work house. His plea was that he could not work and he thought he had better be locked up before he might do some harm. He was accommodated, and this morning when he appeared before the Police Court he plead guilty to a charge of vagrancy. “What's your trouble now?” asked the cou “People are meddling with my business,” he 7 judge questioned him further and he said that he had give up the business concern- ing Secretary Blaine, and the judge told him he was glad he had. : “When I came before you the first time,” “He will have to give bonds,” said the judge, | Mr. M.

Staff Appointments. ‘Tothe Editor of The Even:nz Star: ‘A recent law or ruling of the War Depart- ment provides that staff appointments shall be based upon the recommendation of a board of Officers appointed to determine the relative merits of the candidates. The wisdom of this plan cannot be questioned. It secures for the candidates an impartial review of their records and claims bya board composed of their peers, whose positipn, professional honor and personal integrity remove them from the influence of intrigue and favoritism. It also insures a decision founded on merit. It will be interesting to note the efficacy of this rule in the first case to which its provisions will apply, that of the staff appointments in the new signal corps. If the findings of the board, which will present the candidates in the order of their relative merits, are adhered to the ruling was made to some good purpose, for tho lasting benefit of the army, whose officers ill recog: that merit and faithful service have their reward. Such result would also reflect whom the ruling emanated. , If the recommendations of the board be ig- nored the ruling referred to will be a farce and an absurdity, it will be dead before it sees the light, and staff appointments will, as ofttimes heretofore, be dealt Chistmas Dinner for the Poor.

This morning at about 7:30 o'clock Millard Burch found Patrick Donoghue in a semi- unconscious conditéon lying in a branch about a half mile above the Aqueduct bridge, on the road to Falls Church, near what is known as “Dead Man's Hollow.” It was learned that Donoghue, in Cepred with.an unknown col- ored man, left Georgetown at ubout 11:30 o'clock. Both were intoxicated. It is believed that Donoghue fell off the bridge crossitig the branch, as there were no signs of foul play. When found he was more than half covered with the running water.
