As usual that merciless individual who is popularly held responsible for the state of the weather is endeavoring to shift the responsi- bility upon somebody else, and to an anxious Stan reporter he stated this morning that this time the Saskatchewan val- ley was at the bottom of, and wholly respon- sible for, the very frigid snap of weather with which the citizens of Washington and the adja- cent cities contended last night and today. The indignant people will hardly be al to wreak their vegeance upon the Sas- | katchewan valley, for the renson that | it is not within their jurisdiction, | the romantically named and_ aj tly very | frigid locality being ia the Brith ‘northwest territory of North America. But the cold wave will soon have passed away and the matter will | be as quickly dropped, for according to the authorities at tho weather bureau | | the present cold snap reached bottom early | | this morning and is rapidly passing.away to the northeast. The weather will moderate consid- | erably between nowand tomorrow evening, | when it isexpected that a storm of snow or | rain will call out umbrellas and overshoes. | A TOUR OF THE COUNTRY. The cold wave which Washingtonians ex- perienced yesterday and today originated in | the Saskatchewan valley Sunday night. During | Monday it was delighting the residents of the Missinflppi_ and Ohio valleys and lake region, carrying tho line of zero temperature to the “Ohio river. Tne people of the At-| lantic coast made its acquaintance early Tues- day morning, and the line of freezing weather was carried to Florida, where heavy frosts were reported this morning. A great many people here will undoubtedly be surprised "when they learn that according to the records of the weathgr burean the lowest tem- perature reached hero, which | was at or 2o’clock this morning, was six degrees above zero. But that was the extent of the cold wave, although there are a number of in- dividuals in town who would be willing to make affidavit that in their neighborhood it was about twenty or more degrees below the much- feared aero point. And it may be that they aro right and that the figures of the weather bureau man were given out for the solo pur- pose of confusing the people and thus enabling the weather bureau officials to escape the righteous wrath of the suffering community.

In his address to the jury District Attorney Cole stated that it was not a question between the prosecuting witness and the defendant, as contended by counsel for the defense, but one between the United States government and the defendant. In other words, it was an effort on the part of the government to suppress the crime of which the defendant was charged, and that charge was that Schroeder, by falsely rep- resenting to Mr. Charles Newbold certain mat- ters, bad obtained through such false represen- = a certain sum of money from Mr. New- The false pretenses, explained the district attorney, consisted in this, that im January, 1891, Mr. Newbold baving purchased through Schrosder @ one-half interest in an inven- tion known as the Schneider billiard tip, was informed by Schroeder that he had just learned that one John A. Calhoun had two years before devised an invention sub- stantially the same as the Schneider one; that he could purchase Caihoun’s invention for $300, and that unless Calhoun's invention could be gotten out of the way it would render the Schneider device utterly worthless, as the Calhoun invention would be put in interfer- ence, and as it was prior one Calhoun would receive the patent. Schroeder later stated that he had acquired an assignment of Cal- houn's invention. Thereupon Mr. Newbold. because of such representation, paid Schroeder 130 with which to purchase a half interest in | Calhoun’s invention. Schroeder, on January 22, 1891, a receipt to Mr. Newbold for the money,’ reciting that it was on account of the purchase of a one-half interest in an invention of a billiard cue tip filed that Ua; by John A. Calhoun. It afterward transpired, said the district attorney, that one Thomas impersonated the alleged Calhoun, signed the name of John A. Calhoun to the application at ‘the request of Schroeder and that the applica- tion was sent to the patent office to be filed by Schneider's office boy. Calhoun's address was given in the application as Lexington, Tenn., where Schroeder told Mr. Newbold Cai- houn lived. Wishing to learn something from Calhoun Mr. Newbold wrote to the address given him by Schroeder, but the letter was returned marked “no ‘such person there.” Schroeder upon being informed of this that Cafhoun was a clerk in th sixth auditor's office, but the records of the office showed that no such person was there. Subsequently Schroeder virtually admitted that he knew that Thomas and not Caihoun had figned Calhoun's name to the appfieation, al- though he still endeavored to lead Mr. New- bold to believe that Calhoun was really in exist- ence, whereas no such person was shown on the trial to be in existence. The district attorney also reminded ‘the jury that the government had shown them that Schroeder had previous to the alleged Calaoun invention been engaged in similar fraudulent practices. ‘The trial of Schroeder, the district | attorney said, had developed an organized and systematic course of fraud on Schroeder's part in the community. Counsel for Schroeder gave notice of a mo- tion fora new trial, and the convicted man was committed to jail pending a decision on the motion. The maximum penalty for the of- fense of which Schroeder stands convicted is five years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. Schroeder's trial was one of the longest crim- inal cases tried here since the star route trial— excepting homicide cases—and unusual interest was manifested in it because of the number of people in the community who have been vie timized by similar schemes, ‘This morning Messrs. R. Christy and W. P. Williamson filed the motion for a new trial and a motion in arrest of judgment, ————— THE W. AND G. RAILROAD COMPANY. Directors Chosen at the Annual Meeting Held Today. At the annual meeting of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company held at the office of the company in Georgetown today directora were elected for the ensuing year as follows: Henry Hurt, Wm. R. Riley, Geo. T. Dunlop, Archibald H. Lowery, John G. Parke, John R, McLean and Robert Beall. The only change in the board is the election of Mr. Beull, who was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Geo. A. MeIlhenny. It was stated that ali the cable cars needed for the equipment of the 14th street line have arrived, and that the remaining cara ordered for the Navy Yard line are expected in a few days, when the road will be fully equipped. ‘Mr. Beall has for several years past been one of the most prominent of local street railroad men, his energies having up to this time been devoted principally to the welfare of the Metro- politon Company. In 1884 Mr. Beall was placed on the directorate of the Metropolitan Street Kailway company and up to within a month or so his connection with that corporation was un- broken. His practical knowledge of street railway and municipal matters naturally sug- gested his election to succeed Mr. Mellhenny. sce ne ‘To Compel Issuance of a Patent. Caleb W. Durham has, by J. Nota McGill, filed abillin equity agoinst W. E. Simonds, commissioner of patents, tocompel the issuance of a patent for drainage apparatus. He stated that he made application January 10, 1885, and after divers appeals and rehearings it was finally, on January 18 last, rejected; that ap- eal was taken to the Supreme Court of the istrict and the decision of the commissioner on June 13 was affirmed. He states that he be- lieves he is entitled to letters patent; that it was unknown prior to his invention or discovery and is of great commercial value, and he had placed it on the market and it has gone into general use, and sundry persons are making the devices and causing him great injury.

From the Chicaxo Inter-Ovean. A novel idea of military operations in the great lake region in winter is outlined by Capt. Thomas Sharp, U.S. A. After citing the com- mercial importance of the waterway between the lakes and the sea and the incalculable bene- fits of a proposed canal eystem that will let an ocean steamer loaded at Chicago discharge its freight at Liverpool he proceeds to the serious question of who shail control the great gate- way to this count the St. Lawrence river. ‘The discussion of the commercial question need not be entered upon here, ax all who have | given the matter any tnought at all know that the advantages of a direct, adequate com- munication between the great lakes and the sea mean the saving of many miliions of dollars a year. ~The vital thing: in | phh Canada could get possession of and control this | souree and its traffic the event of war with this country.

It suggest a mode of warfare that we gay be called upon to encounter, and the great thing in a nation’s defense is eternal preparedness in every direc- tion from which assault is to be feared.
