Judge Miller did not say he was superstitions, but | he spat over his left shoulder and looked at the | ‘woman as little as possible. She was a witness | in the case of William Belt, 2 colored man who was tried for an alleged assault on Anna Ham- mond. The woman said that William came to her | service place yesterday and told her that he | was going to Baltimore. He went down the river to Collingwood Beach, and Anna was at | the wharf when the boat returned. She said that he was with a woman named Annie Cope- | nd. “So this is Baltimore,” she said to him. “Did you have a good ui ‘William assared ber that he had had a pleasant evening. Later in the night they met at 9th and R streets, and Anna charged that William assaulted her. William denied the charge and claimed that Anna asaaulted him. * He admitted that he and Anna had been friends, but their friendship ceased because of the objections on part of his wife. “You know, gentlemen,” he eaid, “married men don’t always go with their wives.” Anna Copeland, the woman whose eyes af- forded some amusement, then appeared and ve evidence, he wae crosi-examined at jength by Maj. Carrington, who also made a speech to the jury, and the man with so many admirers was acquitted. gee FISHING IN THE POTOMAC. Where Bass Can Be Caught—The Fish Pro- tection Bill Should Pass. Me. Jesse Middleton, who is one of the best posted men in this part of the country on the question of bass fishing, said to a Stan re- porter this morning that the passage of the act for the protection of fish in the Potomac river would do more good than any other measure proposed. The bill, which is designed to run for ten years and prohibit the use of seines and nets in the waters within the District, has passed the Senate, but at the other end of the Capitol it has been pigeon-holed, but an effort will probably be made to have it resurrected. Speaking of the question of protecting the fish, Mr. Middleton eaid that last winter a number of good bass were caught in the nets about Four-mile run, and a number of small bass have been caught there this season by anglers. He has caught fully two dozen bass there, but none of them were very large. There is good bass fishing, he ‘said, at Occo- quan Falls and at the mouth of Accotink creek, just below Mount Vernon. If the bill the House and finally be- ” said Mr. Middleton, there will sport on the upper Potomae along the line of the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.

All of the visitors express the heartiest appreciation of the local committee's arrange- ments. Not asingle case of annoyance or in- convenience has ben reported to Dr. Custis, the local chairman. All the visitore have left witha memory and affection for Washington that time itself cannot chill or fade. The lady delegates especially are delighted with the courtesies they have received throngh the me- dium of the ladies’ auxiliary committee.

The intercollegiate committee, having had several satisfactory conferences, reported that the in- creased requirements for graduation had operated advantageously to the entire number homeopathic colleges in this country. The total number of matriculants during the last year had been increased 10 per cent over previ- ous sessions. ‘THE SENATE OF SENIORS REPORT. The senate of seniors reported that they had only considered the circulars and practice upon which their opinion was asked, under the pre- amble and resolutions offered by Dr. Monroe, and that they find the same in violation of code of ethics, especially .f sections 3 and 4 of part 2. The sections referred to are quoted and the report says that the senate would construe the language quoted as forbidding any member or members of the society or of any association DR. J. P. DAKE. Dr. J. P. Dake of Nashville, Tenn., read the | report of the committee on pharmacopeia, | | which aroused considerable debate relative to | the changing of the old Latin names of certain drugs to more modern appellatives. After a| long discussion the convention resolved to use the old Latin names alphabetically, with their modern equivalent in a second column. ‘A SECTIONAL MEETING ON MATERIA MEDICA.

Naturally there is a great deal of interest re- garding the way in which the sixty-four votes of Pennsylvania will go. The delegation was instracted to vote asa unit, but some members of it hold that the unit rule has no place in Pennsylvania democratic politics and that the instractions of the state convention are not binding for the reason that the convention selected only the delegutes-at-large. Still the unit rule will, in all probability, be observed on the first ballot. and the sixty-four votes cast sdlidly for Cleveland. A New York report has it that after the first ballot the Pennsylvania voté will go to Gov. Pattison. Concerning this Representative It sylvania said this morning: ~ nia delegation will not drop Cleveland after the first ballot unless his nai withdrawn, Pennsylvania will vote for Cleveland as long as he is a candidate. If his name should be with- drawn from the list of candidates then Peun- ania will vote for Gov. Patti of course, ith the possible exception of two or three of the delegates.” ——_ +o MR. HEMPHILL'S VIEWS. Thinks Prospects Good for Democratic Suc- cons. The House filled up this morning in rather a remarkable way, and the fight on the river and harbor measure was commenced with vigor. The republican seats were better filled than they have been for many days and especially was this so of one ¢eat on the ais) eccupied once more by one Thos. B, Reed, The ex-Speaker was, however, not in a commu- nicative mood over the republican situation, and to the request of a Stax reporter for a talk to be excused. DECIDEDLY MIXED. The Chicago situation brings out all sorts of talk, which simmers down into the idea “de- cidedly mixed.” It is allowed on all sides that Cleveland will have a majori he have the requisite two-thirds, and if not will he guin or lose by further bulloting? There is evena difference of opinion on thissubjectamong the Cleveland men, some holding that the ex- President has sufficient votes to nominate on the first ballot. Others equally in tavor of Cleveland's nomination are afraid be will fall afew votes below the necessary number, but will gain enough on the second ballot to insure his ultimate nomination. Anti-Cleveland men hold that the New York statesman will fall far short of a nomination on the first vote and that fterward his votes will melt steadily. MR. HEMPHILL'S VIEWS. “From ail I can hear,” said Mr. Hemphill of South Carolina, “the situation at Chicago is rather mixed. Mr. Cleveland will certainly re- ceive a very large vote and possibly enough to nominate him at once. Not being on the ground it is impossible to judge whether his strength would be increased or decreased by further bal- lots. “Whom do I think the most available candi- date? That is a leading question. With the | present situation I can see uo reason why Cleve | the life nd would not poll as many votes in the elec- tion as any other democrat.” HARRISON NOT 80 STRONG. Mr. Hemphill is decidedly cheerful over the general situation from a democratic standpoint. No, I do not think Harrison will prove near as strong a candidate this year as four years ago.” said Mr. Hemphill. “He labors under his record and under the always to be expected op- position from disappointed office seekers. I do not sec either how he can gain the earnest support of many gentlemen who have hitherto man- republican cam} The question is whether new men can be found to do equally effective work. Men like Quay, Clarkson, Platt and others, I have no doubt. will vote for Har- | rison, but there is a vast difference in cast- ing one personal vote and getting out and working, raising money and actively and ener- getically helping along a canvass. The election of Harrison ere would mean that these old leaders would be riven to the wall and it is probable that they would prefer his defeat with the chance it would offer of retaining their own supremacy in the party.” CAMPHOR AND PENNYROYAL. ‘They Will Keep Away Mosquitoes and Make ‘One Cool. “As o0on as a warm spell comes,” remarked barber to a Stax reporter this morning, “‘al- most everybody wants a short hair cut, and as s90n as the weather turns cool, or even pleas- ant, they only want a slight trimming.” of the | | ; ? ils | i j ? rhe H.
