A Question Raised as to Whether He Can Be Banged Friday. It was generally expected that the United States Supreme Court would today decide the case of Wm. Douglass Cross, the colored wife murderer, whose execution has been fixed for Friday next. As has been stated in Taz Stan the case of Cross is before the court on appeal | from the decision of District Court in General Term, dismissing his appli- cation for writ of habeas corpus, the petitioner having asked for his discharge on the } age ot that the date origi- nally assigned hie execution having passed, the court below had not the power to re- sentence him. ‘The failure of the Supreme Court to render the decision today, in view of the fact that the petitioner is to Friday, is variously commented upon by interested in the | case.

The constantly increasing demand for room for the proper care and handling of prisoners | has been a source of some annoyance to myself | and assistants, and to none more #0 than Dr. | | McWilliams, the jail physician, who expressed | and showed’ much uncasiness because of the continued crowded condition of the jail during | the whole of the year, as well as our close | proximity to the smallpox hospital, which | ought not be permitted to be occupied und stand where it does for the purpose intended longer than it would take to destroy it by fire.

If they lived to become conval- escent they would make their escape from the hospital, hide among their friendsin the city with the hope of escaping from being returned to the jail, and in this way inoculate the whole | lcity.

Noone knows better, perhaps, than does Dr. McWilliams the danger from overcrowding of prisoners, its dangerous effect.ac.,and which has been forced upon us toagreater extent this vear than at any other time in the history of this jail, aa will be seen by a reference to the accompanying ta- bies showing the number of prisoners received | at the jail during the year, the daily average,&c. | SMALL BOYS IN JAIL. | No record is kept of their respective ages, but if qne had been it would show that the increase | is due, ina measure, toan increased number of boys committed, some of very tender age. | It is noticed that this class is on the increase, | and the physician in his report but expresses | the opinion of the other officers of the juil.

A Family Difficulty Ventilated in the Criml- nal Court. Eli Hart, an aged man who was on the wit- ness stand in the Criminal Court, Justice Cox, today, excitedly exclaimed, when asked if he knew James A. Clarke, the prisoner, “Yes, to my sorrow!" “You're a liar!” muttered Clarke, who was placed on trial for an assault and bat- tery and intent to kill Mr. Hart on February 6, 1887. Clarke had married Hart's danghtor. Mr. Hart testified that after the marriage Clarke lived at his storeon Pennsylvania avenue and he abused his daughter; that he went to the store and told Clarke that he had to leave, and | as soon as he reached the strect Clarke fired and. witness felt the stinging of the shot in the ab- domen. On cross-examination Mr. Hart denied that hjs daughter owne:! the store or that she owned the property. She was now in New York, he said. with a good place, supporting her child and had supported her husband. ‘hat business had he to shoot me!” ex- claimed the witness. “He's nothing but an- other Guiteau.” In reply to the court the witness said he bad no intention to assault Clark when he called him out.

He could not say if there was one load left or not. : THE DEFENDANT'S STORY. After the testimony the defendant took the stand and testified that be was acquainted with Mise Hart six months before the marriage and Mr. Hart knew of his attentions. Mr. Hart was married a second time a few days before that. His wife run the store and they lived together for nearly a year. He claimed that he un- derstood that he had been released on personal reeognizance and had been in court three tmes. He admitted that he fired the | tol. He had sent his wife to the| ital the day before, she being very sick and in delicate condition. Hart told him to follow him, and he supposed he wanted to fight. Hart had threatened him before. He took him to Lucas’ and when he came out Hart said if he | followed him he would stab him. He thought | that he wanted him to remain at Lucas’ while | he (Hart) went to the store and locked him out. The old man seemed chagrined that he did not remain at Lucas’, and threatened him with his stick when be fired. ‘On cross-examination witness said he got in the house through the window and he had the tol before Hart came and asked him out. y were in Lucas’ a few minutes, but did not jow what the conversation was about. He id not know the words Hart, used butghe gave witness to understand that it’ would not be well for him to follow him or be would lose his life. MWitness believed Hart had a pistol in hi hand because of his previous threats. Clarke said that his wife owned the store and he believed that Hart intended to kill him. When his wife came to him she left her furni- ture with her father and last April there was a fire and Hart drew the insurance. In rebuttal Alexander Hurd testified that | when he took Mr. Hart to the hospital he handed him a canvass bag of money. The jury found a verdict of guilty. — AN EXPEDITION AGAINST THE DOGS.

How the Policy Business is Carried on Now—Cases in Court, Pedestrians on the two bridges crossing the Potomac from this city to the Virginia shore are more numerous now than ever before and it is all bocause of the hot fight made against the policy people by the police of this city.

He was in the habit of playing policy over there, and had played some of the rows found in his room. Mr. Carrington here objected to the Virginia end of the affair and Judge Miller said that there was a neck of land across the river where these places are located and he know they could not exist if they depended upon the few residents of that part of Virginia. The judge said he knew that they were established in or- der to live on the trade of the inhabitants of this city “They.may be onthe neck over there,” re- marked Mr. Carrington, “but they are getting it in the neck over her * THE RECENT RAIDS. Continuing, Cromwell said he stopped work- ing here because it got “too hot” for him.

Lavnet, Mp., November 7, 1892. The democrats held a rousing meeting ut the Academy of Music here Saturday night, the building being filled to its utmost capacity. Many ladies occupied seats in the gallery. ‘The Laurel Military Band paraded the streets at the head of quite.an array of men and boys, but no attempt at a procession was inade,though along the whole line of march of the band there was a constant end brilliant display of fireworks, and after the band entered the academy the remainder of the fireworks were eet off in front of the building. A large number of dem- ocrats from Howard and Anne Arundel coun- ties, as well as from Bladensbuag, Branchville, Beltsville and other points in this county present, but the intention to have cratic clubs from Savage, Bladensburg ai other places had to be abandoned because it was thought best to hold separate meetings on this the last night of the campaign. Mesera. Thomas N. Clendenin, Charles H. Carter and E. L. Strause of Baltimore ad- dressed the meeting till Mr. Compton arrived and made the closing address, Mr. Compton opened the meeting at Savage, three miles from here, at 8 o'clock and after spending an hour and a half drove to Laurel and spoke for nearly an hour.g He received a hearty reception from his fellow citizens on his entrance and was heartily ap- plauded during bis address, He made an earnest speech and expressed perfect confidence in his election by a large majority. The democratic club of Scagg's Cross Roads, Howard county, held a big oyster roast Satur- day afternoon at 3 o'clock and were addressed by Ernest P. Baldwin, esq., of Laurel and State Senator John G. Rogers of Howard county. ‘The democratic club of Savage held the largest public meeting of the campaign Satur- day night and addresses were made by Repre- tentative Barnes Compton and others, he meeting was preceded bya parade headed by the Savage Cornet Band. THE REPUBLICANS. The republicans reconsidered their determi- nation to hold a torchlight procession, to be followed by a public meeting at Flester's Hall, last Saturday night, and held instead a mecting of the republican league for the transaction of regular business. Another meeting of the league will be held tonight to make final ar- rangements for the election tomorrow. SUPERVISORS APPOINTED.

Timanus, who for several years past bas been the manager of the Laurel cotton mills, has resigned his position and will take charge of a cotton mil! in Tennessee. SENATOR GORMAN CONFIDENT. Senator Gorman arrived from New York Sat- urday evening and expressed himself as con- fident of Cleveland's election. He will cast his vote at the polls at Guilford, Howard county, early tomorrow and then take the train for | New York, where he will remain at the national democratic headquarters until the result of the election is ascertained. E. P. B. rman Ae Says He Cat the Corner Stone. To the Editor of The Evening Star Ina recent article in Tux Evexixo Star it was stated that James Kelly of the first ward cut the corner stone of the Washington monu- ment. Permit me to say that James Kelly had nothing whatever to do with the stone. He did keep the marble works next to the National Theater long after the corner stone wascut and was my brother. I afterward bought him out and kept the marble works on E etreet between 13th and 14th streets northwest. I cut the stone at the age of nineteen or twenty. years while serving my time with Mr. Thomas Berry at his marble works at E street between 13th and 14th streets northwest. I also kept my brown-stone works on New York avenue and 15th street, opposite Riggs’ Bank. I would say that the hole was cut twenty-two inches square and twenty-two inches | deep for, the pu of receiving coins and documents of all kinds. 1 fished’ it 34 of Ji it was set on the $d.
