After President Polk's address to the Mary- land alliance convention at Baltimore yester- day the election of officers for the ensuing year was dispatched with celerity, most of the officers of the past year being re-elected. Those for the coming year will be: President, Hugh Mitchell of Charles county; vice president, Col. F. A. Benson of Talbot county; secretary, 'T. Canticld Jenkins of Charles county; treasurer, Dr. J. H. Blandford of Prince George's county; state lec- turer, R. L. Gulick of Dorchester county: as- sistant lecturer, Prof. T. N. Conrad of Prince Ceorge’s county; doorkeeper, Samuel Garner: assistant doorkeeper, Henry Krusen of Kent county; chaplain, .E. D. Heffron of Caroline ¥: sergeant-at-arms, J. H. Downing of Wicomico county. Dr.’ M. G. Ellzey was elected u member of the executive committee in place of L. W. Holley. whose term has ex- ired, ‘the committee now consists of of ‘Tulbot county, Griffith of ‘of Washing- lent Mitchell and J. W. Kerr were elected delegates to the meeting of the Supreme Council of the National Alliance, which will take place in Indianapolis on the ‘third Tues- day of November. ‘The alternates elected were JS. Robinson and R. D. Bradley. Mr. Bi declined a re-election as state lecturer. Some discussion occurred over the selection of a place for the holding of the alliance mass meeting which it was understood several days ago would take place at Annapolis int few weeks. ‘There are to be two mass meetings of the alliance for educational purposes in the state—one on the Eustern Shore at Salisbury December and one onthe Western Shore. ntil yesterday Annapolis claimed the Western Shore mecting, but the agitation of the quer- tion yesterday revulted in transferring the meeting to Baltimore, and the date will be an- nounced in a few days. A resolution was adopted which is intended to prevent any misapprehension of the alliance platiorm on the exemption of property from taxation. It is to the effect thes “no church Property shall be exempt from taxation except such as is non-productive. It was also decided te change the plan hereto- fore adopted for the raising of funds for the Proposed alliance edchange in Baltimore, and a committee, of which J. W. Kerr of Caroline county, is chairman, was appointed to solicit voluntary subscription 2 from each mem- ber of the alliance for this purpose. Resolutions of thanks to ex-State Lecturer Bradley for his labors during the past year were adopted. Thanks were also tendered the Knights of Labor for the grant of the use of Industrial Hall. ‘The next annual convention of the Maryland alliance will be held on the second Tuesday of August, 1882. The place has not_been named, but te sentiment among the delegates is for some county town or in the country, so as to cast the influence of the convention directly into the agricultural sections. ——<eo— CLEVELAND AND BLAINE LEAD. The Presidential Preferences of the Southern Lumbermen. The Southern Lumbermen’s Association is holding a convention in St. Louis. The Re- public yesterday sent a corps of reporters to question the delegates as to their preferences for President. ‘The lumbermen are a fine body of representative citizens Of the southern states. They are nearly every one of them large employers of labor, skilled and unskilled, aud assuch naturally would have large influence in politics. There are sboutahundred delegates and seventy of them were questioned. Of these twenty-eight expressed a desire that Grover Cleveland should be the nominee of the demo- cratic party, and unhesitatingly predicted his election. Seven preferred Campbell of Obio, nearly every one with the proviso that he should be elected governor. Two were for Falmer of Ilinois, while only one man spoke for Of the republicans twenty-six preferred Blaine,two were for Harrison, one for Gresham and four declined to expressachoice. ‘The Campbeil men nearly all wanted Cleveland as a second choice, their only opposition to him being ou the siver question. Five of the Blaine tien said that if Blaine was not nominated ghey would vote for Clevelandas the best man in either party. es Colored People Uelebrate at Frederick.

One of the astonishing features of this sum- mer is the manner in which Tax Sar has kept right along in its progressive march.

By Tux Star's special corre- spondent. ———_ A GHOST DEMOLISHED. The Excitement at Seventh and E Streets Southwest Now Allayed. Some excitement hus been occasioned at 7th and E streets southwest for several nights past by what was taken by the more superstitious a8 @ ghost, and it attracted last evening a crowd of several hundred people. Mr. Gatewood lives at the northwest corner of the intersection and one of the rear chim- neys has a terra cotta top. On the southenst corner is an electric light, and a tree interven- ing the shadow of a branch was thrown against the terra cotta top in such a way that at a short distance the whole could be taken when the wind swayed the branch for a woman raising her dress. Last night the crowd became of such dimensions as to severely effect Mr. Gate- wood’s danghter, and he appealed to Lieut. Vernon, who sent officers to the place. ‘Ihe lieutenant advised painting the terra cotta a black color # as not to show the shadow. ‘This would cause some trouble, and finally Mr. Gatewood and the officers went by ladders from the top of the building and with an ax demolished the ghost, and the excitement was allayed. ——— ‘The Microscopical Society Incorporated. ‘The American Microscopical Society have filed a certificate of incorporation, naming M. E. Ewell, president; Robert Reyburn and K. J. Muna, vice presidents; W. H. Seaman, secre- tary, and C.C. Miller, treasurer, and it is signed by twenty-two members. —_. Brought Back From Chicago. Yesterday Lewis A. Williams was brought here from Chicago, where he wus arrested on a bench warrant based on an indictment found by the grand jury of the Criminal Court charg- ing him with obtaining money by false pre- tenses in giving a warraut which did not belong to him as security fora loan.

Veterans Looking Forward to the Great En- campment Next Year, Around Grand Army headquarters veterans are still talking over experiences of their trip to Detroit, incidents of their journey to and fro, of the visit to Niagara Falls and of re- unions during encampment week. They talk, too, of the encampment next year. Ata meeting of Farragut Post last evening W. H. Mince was elected commander, vice Dr. 8. A. H. McKim, resigned. A resolution was adopted providing fora committee of seven to co-operate with like committees from other posts of the department to inaugurate meas- ures looking to immediate preparations for the great encampment of 1892, to be held here. ‘The Department of the Potomac, covering in territory only the District of Columbia, is sinall compared with oer departments including whole states, but it comprises in its member- | ship many of the most active G. A. R. men in the country. The membcrship at present is about 3,300. Itis expected that the interest and enthusiasm aroused by having the encamp- ment here will result in many recruits. ‘The principal theme of discussion now is the time of holding the encampment. This will be settled by the executive committce of the na- tional council of administration when th body is cailed together by the commander. chief. The advice of the citizens’ committ will probably be taken as to the most suitable and convenient time for holding the encamp- ment. Among the veterans the general idea is that the encampment should be held late in September or in October. ‘Many of the bo} are getting old,” said a G. A. R. man toa Sran reporter, “and a march in a hot August sun 1s a litle too much for them.” It is thought th: the time will be fixed so as not to cor but many business men of Washington whose interests would require their presence here during the encampmert are active Knights Templar, who would ordinarily go with their commanieries to the conclave. Many of the department officers and other active G. A. R. men are now absent from the city. Some who went to Detroit have not returned to the city, having taken their vac: tions and extended’ their trips. | When all are home in the fall it is expected active prepara- tions for the encampment will be commenced. eee HOPKINS’ PLANS CHANGED. He May Not Contest Mrs. Searles’ Will in Massachusetts. When Timothy Hopkins arrived in San Fran- cisco on Tuesday night it was his purpose to proceed at once to Methuen, Mass., to contest the probate of his foster mother's will. But his attorney got hisear and he looked over his mail Disappointment awaited him there. Only coldness characterized the letters, both of Searles and of Butler, Stillman & Hubbard, but Hopkins did not start east. The question with Timothy Hopkins now is whether he will go fishing for a whale. with the chance of losing everything, or be satisfied with a creel of tine trout, which he stands an excellent chance of catching. If he contests the will in Massachusetts he may lose the en- tire estate, as his chances in Massachusetts are not as good as in Calfornia; but’ if he is con- tent to test its probate in California his chances of winning his suit are much better than they would be in the bay state. Besides, lus advisers believe they may reckon on the support of public opinion. ‘opkins and his counsel are wrestling with the law of the case, and from a legal point of view it will be a pretty case. kins will certainly contest the probate of the will. That beyond question, and the ouly thing to be considered is where that contest will be made. Had Hopkins proceeded directly to Massachu- vetts, a8 was bis original intention, he would been within the jurisdiction of the Massacbusetts — court. Phen that court would have had jurisdiction over the entire estate and no contest could have been made in a California court, because what- ever decision might be rendered by the Massa chusetts tribunal the California court would be Catharine Robinson; bond, $100.

The principle of estoppel, that a mat- ter once adjudged is forever settled, would bar Hopkins out of the California tribunal. ‘his explained, without the legal phrase- ology, means this: If two residents of Massa- chusetts were opposing partics in # suit, in which a transaction was alleged to be fraudu- Jent, and the court should decide that the trans- action was binding and not fraudulent, then, if both parties became subsequently residents of California, a new suit could not be begun aguin in this state in regard to that transaction. That iswhy Hopkins hesitates about leaving what he assumes to be a friendly state for one in which he is not known. When Mrs. Searles’ will is probated and a copy filedat San l'rancisco Hopkins will pragest. Then if Searles maintains that the Massachusetts cuurt decided it to be @ valid will Hopkins can retort that the Massachusetts decree does not bind him, for it hay jurisdiction over him only to the extent of affecting the property in Mas- sachusetts.

ANNIE WAS DISMISSED. Annie Stewart, an East Washington colored girl, was accused of using profane language on Massachusetts avenue. Two other women ay peared and gave evidence against Annie, and Was stated that the case was of “prejuds.

The story told by Mrs. Alice Cooper Crane of how she was forced to the marriage altar by her cousin, Walter Crane, in London, bas been told in Tux Stan, as well as the refusal of the court to annul the murriage. Mr. Crane, who is a resident of New York city, tells quite a different story and puts the affair in a wholly different light. He sayi “The assertion that I married Mies Cooper for her money is absurd. She is my cousin. Her mother is my father's sister. I was per- fectly familiar with her affairs, Besides it was not ata mercenary age that I met and loved her. “When my cousin and I first met at Pau I was ouly eighteen. When we were married I Was just turned twenty. My cousin was then twenty-eight. ‘The whole affair was a piece of youthful folly and infatuation. But the youth was all on my part, asihave reason to think was also the infatuation. “Miss Cooper, though a New York girl, had grown up in the fast society of Pau. Alwaysim society and in the gayest set, it is hardly prob- able that a woman of twenty-vight will de things such as a young girl might do. “Ihe truth is that Sine Cooper favored my suit and finally married me cause sue be- lieved that I was rich and, farther, that 1 woul”, some day fall heir to a great estate. Ther could have been, us see it all now, no other motive. “Nor is it true that Mrs, Hamilton, Miss Cooper's mother and my aunt, the union. On the contrary, she rather favored it ‘openly and still more 86 secretly. “The marriage was opposed, and vislontty, by Mr. Hamilton and by my ows parents. 1é was the result of this opposition the suas was declared off and I left Pau to travel about Europe. My cousin und I met clandestinely, however, about Europe. “Finally I wrote Mixs Cooper from Cairo that I would be im London ona certain date on ‘my way to the United States. She agreed to mect me there. “It wus tacitly understood that we should be married when we met. So when my cousin ar- rived in London we went at once and were married. It was of course with Miss Coopes's full co-operation. “I left immediately for the states. Iwas full of big plans ana the future opened as an EL Dorado. I would guin a fortune and return to claim my wite. “We never afterward met. Our letters soon grew cold and then ceased.
