Wayne Road. | DEATH OF A SOCTAL LEADER, | | RACE TRACK BILLS VETOED. Gov. Werts Opposed to the Measures of the ‘Turf Men. J., Feb. 23.—The governor has vetoed the race track bills licensing the race tracks, which have been passed by the legisla- ture. When the bills come before the senate again | the republicans will make a hard fight against | them. GOV. WERTS’ REASONS. The House convened at 11 o'clock this morn- | ing. immediately after the roll call the gov- | ernor’s private secretary appeared with the | message vetoing the three Parker racing bills. The following 1s a copy of the message: “To the general assembly: I herewith re turn to the ‘al assembly, in which house originated, O. with my objections | thereto briefly stated. “Bill No. 299 provides that boards of chosen frecholders of any county and gov- erning bedy of any munictpal division of this state may for a term not exceeding five years license the maintenance of race tracks and the use thereof, or the running, racing or trotting of horses for any purse, stake cr plate or other things, and that it shall be unlawful to maintain or use a race | course in this state without such license, The running. trotting and pacing of horses for purses or prizes at fairs or exhibitions of any agricul- tural or other corporated society is not now un- |Jawful in this state. It bas become a leading feature and to many persons the chief attraction | [at the various state and county agricultural faire and exhibitions held yearly throughout the state. “Practically the racing of horses for prizes | oF purses may be regarded as generally permis sible, and the effect of the passage of bill No. 299 would be substantially to render unlawfal,unless & license be obtained. what is now lawful. with- out a license. Thereafter a license would be required for all places where prizes or purses might be offered to be __ contended for by the running, pacing or trotting. If therefore, the running, pacing or trotting of horses is. how permitted | be deemed objectionable, bill 299 should | be approved as tending to limit and repress | the objectionable practice. Standing alone bill land without reference to attendant legis- lation the bill to, my — view, far- nisbes no oceasion for serious " objec- | tion. Bill ) is, however, but part and | parcel of a scheme embodied in two other as- | sembly bills, namely Nos. 300 and 301, whieh I also return without executive approval and for ons appearing in the veto messages thereof. “Iam constrained to withhold my approval from bill No. 299. (Signed) Gronce W. Wents, Governor.” PROPOSED LEGALIZING OF BOOKMAKERS. To the General Assembly: “I hereby return to the General Assembly, in which House originated bill No, 300, with my objections thereto. “The object of said bill is to permit and | legalize betting and particularly that form of | Letting termed ‘bookmaking’ at horse races within the exterior enclosure of the grounds of any race course of any agricultural society or ¥ incorporated body in this atate. regard the proposed legislation as in con- flict with and prohibited by that clause of the tate constitution, which provides that ‘No lottery shall be authorized by law of this state and no ticket in any lottery not authorized by law of this | state shail be bought or sold within this | state. Furthermore, if not liable to the con- | tutional objection the proposed legislation is | not, in my opinion, in harmony with the en- lightened popular sentiment or accordant with sound public policy. “Recognizing the difficulty, if not the im- possibility, of entirely suppressing the prac- tice of betting at races and other events the advisability of repressive —_legisia- tion in reference thereto may fairly | be a subject of discussic Such | legislation might prove wise and_bene-| ficial as in dealing with the liquor traffic, but | the bill in question, while limiting betting | to the racing inclosure and to race and upon race tracks within such | inciosure to all intents and — purposes | | | jers the practice unlimited, in that no re- striction of time or otherwise is opposed. The mutter is therefore not built with « practice to be suppressed, restrained or regulated, but | rather as one to be protected and encouraged. Ido not think that a proper way to deal with the subject. “I shall not advert to the alleged demoral- | izing effects to society aud the individual | ‘attending upon and resulting from legalized or | illegal betting. These ate questions that | address themselves to the personal consideration of each legislator. “For the reasons assigned I decline to approve the bill. (signed) “Gronor T. Wents, Governor.” Under the constitutional requirement the veto message was laid over for twenty-four | hours. It will, therefore, be further acted upon | tomorrow. i} ‘There is no doubt that the house will pass the racing bills over the governor's head. _ IRISH SECURITIES FALL, ‘The Prospects of Home Rule Assigned by Some as the Cause. Loxpox, Feb. 23.—The stock of Guinness’ * Company, limited, of Dublin, has de- clined £11 a share in this market. The de cline is believed to be the result of and in sym- vathy with the general fall of Irish securities on account of home rule prospects and appre- hensions, Deptts, Feb. 23.—The financial agitation in Ireland on account of the dread among security holders of the effect of home rule is increasin, Bank of Ireland stock today shows an addit fall of £5 and Guinness Company stock of £10, while the stock of the Great Northern railway of Ireland shows a decline of £2 a share. THE POPE APPROVES THE HOME RULE BILL. Romr, Feb. 23.—The pope in conversation with Cardinal Logue tcday said that he ap- proved of Irish home rule. Justice to Irish Catholics, the pontiff said, would tend to strengthen England. The pope eulogized Mr. Gindstone, who. his holiness remarked, had his heart in the success of the scheme so dear to his good Irish. puke ae THE COLUMBIA CITY DISASTER.

New Your, Feb. 23.—Arthur Leary, who was for a generation asocial leader,and whomade an enviable reputation as a lawyer in finances | and politics is dead. He wasattacked by grip | some time ago and was unequal tothe complica- tion which followed, and expired surrounded by his relatives at his home, No. 90 5th avenue, at 9 o'clock last night. An attack of grip incapacitated Mr. Leary about Janbary 1 and after shaking it off he ws taken down with pneumonia, which so weak- ened his system that he died of exhaustion. i No announcement of the death was made Inst | night, and several friends, among them Cor- | nelius Vanderbilt and Phillip Bleecker, called | this morning to inquire about Mr. Leay’s con- dition. They were shocked to hear that he had | succumbed to the attack ef pneumonia. | For a generation Mr. Leary was leader of the | most exclusive set in New York society, but of | late years he did not seem to take such a great | interest in social affairs. He was a prominent | member of the Union and other clubs. He was always of a studious disposition and even in his young days snjoyed a reputation for scholarship. "From an early age he was as- sociated with large financial and shipping in- terests. among the latter being the Cunard Company. Mr. Leary was sixty-two years old and unmarried. FOREIGN NOTABLES COMING. Mr. Ward McAllister Tells What New York Will Do for Them. New Yorx, Feb. 23.—Mr. Ward MeAllister gives some interesting information in regard to what New York society would do in the way’ of welcoming — distin- guished visitors who might come here for the world’s fair. Mr. McAllister said he was asked to arrange a ball at the Wal- dori Hotel, in 5th avenue, tor the spring, but not seen his way clear to doso. The gen tleman who had the lease of the hotel was ver; anxious that the stamp of fashion should be put on the house by an entertainment given under the auspices of McAllister. “But I can’t do it now,” remarked Mr. Me- Allister. “You see ,the difficulty is that ladies who are in society have no bali dresses in the spring. They have worn them all during the Winter, and they never want to get new ones until the autumn. “Of coutse,” continued Mr. McAllister, “this year will be exceptional, and I may give a ball the Waldorf after all. So far as I know no | special arrangements have been made for the reception of European aristocrats who visit us this year. For some time Ihave been in cor- men who intend to come here to the fair. “There will be a great many of them—more than the public has any idea’ of. Iam not at liberty to mention names, but they will be not- able people. “Ihave advised my English friends to come in June or not later than July. Some may arrive evenearlier. New York society will visit Chicago in June #o as to be able to get to Newport in July and it will be a good thing for English and foreign aristocrats to see Newport in July and August, when it is at its best. Straggling British’ noblemen will probably come here Inter after the Goodwood races and the Cowes regatta. “Hoi polloi will crowd Chicago in September, but not the fashionables, who will prob- ably see the fair in finished condition. “Royal visitors, such as the Princess Enlalio and her husband, will certainly have special mention, although no reception arrangements as yet have been made. Representing, as the princess will, the government of Spain, grand dinners will be given in her honor, possibly @ ball and a fete champetre either at Jerome Park or Morris Park.” Mr. Diodati Thompson, who was present dur- ing the interview, remarked that Princess Eulalie was related to the Count of Paris, whom he had met abroad and was aunt to the boy King of Spain. He said further that he under- stood that the princess would go to Cuba and sail thence in a Spanish man-of-war to the United States, “Ah!” added Mr. McAllister, ‘the friends of the Count of Paris in America will see that the proper thing is done to make the princess’ stay in the United States a pleasant one, you may be quite sure of that.” CONTRACTED THE MARRYING HABIT. | Major Haygood, a Confederate Veteran, Charged With Bigamy. Artanta, Ga., Feb. 23.—Major Edward A. Haygood, a cousin of ex-Governor Haygood of South Carolina, and a confederate veteran, was taken to Charleston, S$. C., yesterday to be |} tried for bigamy. On the train were tvo of his wives. Major Haygood went to Chicago seven years ago and there married a Mra. Duncan, who was his third wife. She is said to be worth $100,000. A year ago they came here. Several months ago the major went to South Carolina on business, His visit was protracted. Ten dass ago Mrs. Haygood heard that her husband was in Jacksonville, Fla., sick. She went there and found him living with a young wife, whom he had married in Charles- | ton. She brought him home and the other wife followed and had him arrested for bigamy. He explained that he was suffering from an old war wound while in Charleston for which he had to take morphine. It was while under the influence of this drug that he committed what he calls “the indiscretion of marrying again be- fore his wife was dead.” —s DISGUST! LIFE D HIE Suicide of Pierce Stevens Hamilton, Cana- dian Poet and Journalist. Harirax, N.S., Feb. 23.—Pierce Stevens Hamilton, aged seventy, poet and journalist, one of the most elegant and forceful of Cana- dian literatteures, who died at the general hos- pital yestesday, having committed sui- cide with landanum, in early __life practiced law, but soon tired of that and devoted himself to journalism. — While registrar of deeds for Fairfax county he wrote a series of brilliant urticles attacking the liberal government of the and for that reason was removed from office. Subsequently, under a conservative government, he became the first commissioner of mines and minerals of the province. In 1874 the liberals made him chief fishery officer for Nova Scotia. While holding his po- litical positions he accomplished a great deal of newspaper and other literary work. He came to Halifax a few weeks ago and hae been v despondent. On Tuesday he announced hi determination to die and swallowed three ounces of laudanum. — DUG FROM A Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 23.—The passenger train on the Reading and Lancaster railroad which was caught in a snowdrift nine miles north of here carly yesterday morning was ex- tricated at midnightafter four engines had been sent toits assistance. It was filled with passen- gers, who had a tiresome wait. A large gang of shovelers tried to clear the track, but the snow was blown back as fast as it was taken away. —_ A. W. THURMA) ‘Ss REMEDY. National Bank Circulation to Be Based on Silver Dollars. Corvmsvs, Onto, Feb. 23.—Allen W. Thur- man hasaplin which he thinks will solve the financial problem and dispose of the currency question to the satisfaction of all. His proposi- tion is that silver dollars shall be the basis for national bank circulation. ‘The banks are to be required to deposit in the United States treas- ury 90 per centin silver dollars, upon which they are to be permitted to issue 100 per cent of notes. This would always insure special payments and give the banks a profit. on their circulation which they do not enjoy. Mr. Thurman argues that silver and gold would, with free coinage and this amendment to the national banking laws, be at a parity in twenty-four hours and the strife between the two metals cease. -p ees FOR HARVARD, Immediate Prospect of the versity Getting It. Bosrox, Feb. 28.—Regarding the statement made at the dinner of the Harvard Club of Washington in that city last night that Harvard College is to receive a bequest amount- ing to #2.000,000 and possibly to $4,000,000 Presi- dent Eliot says he knows of no such gift to the university in contemplation. Such a gift may be intended, but the tion of the univer- sity, which would naturally be notified at once, has, as yet, heard nothing of it. The statement referred to and which was made at the recent Harvard dinner was not in- tended for publication. It was to the effect that a certain wealthy graduate who had no heirs was having his will drawn up in favor of Rome, Feb. 23.—Pope Lev today received the pilgrims who have come to attend his episcopal fabiles from South America, Hangary and Harvard.

Reading Maintained Its Position as the Most Active Stock. New Yong, Feb. 23."-The stock market showed the legitimate effects of the recent dis- turbance this morning in a growing indispo- sition to trade until affairs have become more settled and the con- condition is more fully understood. Only four stocks were traded in to any ex- tent, but, as a rule, a firm temper was displayed.’ Considerable liquidation was done, bat the traders, who are now believed to hold a larger proportion of the float- ing stock than at any time for some wecks past, are working for a rally, and sup- phedanelement of strength in the market which successfully resisted the pressure to sell after the first onslaught. The switchmen's strike was a depressing influence and ite effect was seen principally in the grangers. Opening prices were in almost all cases lower than those of Tuesday afternoon, while St. Paul was down 1 at 773¢, Northern Pacific preferred Lg nt 45% and Reading 13 at 28. London houses bought a fair amount of Reading, which ielded only 3/ after the opening, and saon ral- lied to 29, and was maintained at about that price for the rest of the hour. The pressure was most severe against sugar, which, after opening unchanged at 123, steadily declined to 1204. Aside from these stocks only St. Paul and Burlington were at all let we traded in, and the latter, after a fractional luss at the opening, declined %. Western Union was a strong spot, but its advance was only fractional. ‘The general List was heavy in sympathy with the leaders, but aside from Tennessee coal, which retired from 34 to $234, the movements were fractional. At 11 o’ciock the market was only fairly active and heavy. There ws in increased Eo to sell sugar after 11 o'clock and another lack of su port, which resulted in a further material decline in ices, It retired to 11@ after open- ing at 123. The rest of the market felt the effect of this move- ment, though railroad shares, including even Reading, were quiet within narrow limits, New | England was the only marked exception to this | rule, the disbelief in the New Haven control tending to induce sales by the traders. ‘The industrials, however, were more affected and cordage rhowed a loss from the opening of New England retired to 38%, 134 per cent lower than its best figure. Lead preferred lost 2 per cent, but other changes were insignificant.

Mr. Jones, who was the first United States Senator from the state of Iowa, was in the House while that body was considering his measure and when the Speaker announced that it had been agreed to he arose and returned his hearty thanks to Mr. Hitt for his successful effort. ‘The sundry civil appropriation bill, with Senate amendments, was laid before the House and referred to the ‘committeo on appropria- ions. Mr. Bland (Mo.) gavea significant suggestion that the commities on appropriations should report it back at asearly day as possible, as he intended to have the Senate amendments nd fairly discussed in committee of the A PLEASANT INTERRUPTION. Mr. Outhwaite called up the conference re- port on the army appropriation bill. While he was explaining the measure Mr. Hillary A. Her- bert entered the hall and modestly leaned over the screen in the rear of the chamber. But he could not escape the eyes that were in search of him and the House spontaneously broke into applause and cheers, which lasted several moments and which evidently came from the heart. Mr. Outhwaite smilingly bowed to Mr. Herbert and yielded him five minutes of his time, and so Mr. Herbert was compelled to come forth from his retirement. He was deeply moved by the cordial reception given him and his voice quivered as he said: “This reception from men with whom I have asso- ciated and whom I have known so long touches my heart in amanner that I have no words to express. Ican only say that I thank you from the bottom of my heart - 5 This short speech was greeted with long an loud applause, and then Mr. Herbert held a levee in the rear of the ball. ‘The conference report was agreed to. THE ANTI-OPTION BILL KNOCKED OUT. Mr. Peel (Ark.) moved that the House go into committee of the whole for the considera tion of general appropriation bills. ‘This motion was antagonized by Mr. Hatch (Mo.), who wished the consideration of the anti-option bill. But Mr. Peel's motion prevailed—veas, 152; nays, 75—and the consideration of the Indian appropriation bill was resumed. SS DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, THE INAUGURATION STANDS, The resolution introduced in the Senate yes- terday by Mr. Hale calling on the District Com- missioners for information as to the stands to be erected along the line of route of the auguration day again came up this morning. Mr. Gorman made a state- ment to the effect that the city ex- penses of making provision for the inau- guration amounted to about $45,000, which sum was entirely raised by private subscrip- then be referred to the District committee, and {a this way a start could be obtained on this long-delayed remen' ner says that this is the most that he hopes for. ‘THE BOARD OF CHARITIES BILL. Mr. A.G. Warner, the superintendent of charities, has written to Senator McMillan asking him to find an opportunity in the re- days of the session to call up the bill to establish a board of charities, as he considers the matter of the utmost importance to the District. x A NEW CIKCUIT JUDGE. The Man Already Determined Upon an His Nomination Expected Today. Notwithstanding the statement that the op- Position to the confirmation of Judge Howell E. Jackson as an associate justice of the Su- preme Court was withdrawn on the understand- ing that President Harrison would not nomi- nate his successor on the sixth circuit, it iscertain that the President has not only de- cided to make a nomination for the vacanc but bas settled upon the man whose name be Will send to the Senate. The nomination will probably be made this afternoon. It is under- stood that the nomination will be somewhat in the nature of asurprise. The person de- cided upon is a well-known and able man, and it is thought that the nomination will meet with General approval. Itis believed that neither r. Thomas J. O'Brien of Grand Rapids, Mich., nor Alford Russell of Detroit, whose names | have been prominently urged upon the Presi- dent, will Fg chosen. The nominee, however, will be a Michigan man. Though the nomination may meet with uni- versal ap probation there can be no doubt that the confirmation will be bitterly opposed. It is Judge Hanchett. The President late this afternoon sent to the Senate the nomination of Benton Hanchett of Michigan to be circuit judge of the sixth judi- cial district to succeed Howell E. Jackson, who was made associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. lenry W. Raymond, whois the private secre- tary of the Secretary of the Navy, has been nominated to be examiner of claims in the State Department in place of Mr. Partridge. THE NEW SUDGE. Benton Hanchett is between fifty-five and sixty years old and isa resident of Saginaw, Mich. He is one of the leading lawyers of that state but has never held any judicial or public office except as presidential elector in 1876. He is a straight out republican and has been mentioned asa candidate for Senator and justice of the su- Preme bench of Michigan, but has always de- | clined to accept. He himself endorsed Mr. O'Brien for the place. His selection was duo to Attorney General Miller and the President's Personal knowledge of him. The following nominations were also made: J. E. Cochran of Nebraska to be cqnsul of the United Statertat San Salvador. RB. R. Lewellyn of Utah tobe judge of pro- bate in the county of San Pete in the territory of Uta. FATHER COLUMBIA TESTIFIESs History of His fe to the Court. When the bearing in the case of Father Co- lumbia was resumed in the Police Court this afternoon Mr. Williamson said he wanted to introduce testimony to show that some of the witnesses who had given evidence were in debt and he said he bad judgment against them. Judge Kimball ruled that the testimony was inadmiseable, and counsel noted an exception. Father Columbia was then put on the stand and the court granted him the privilege of reading a long statement that had been pre- pared, showing the family history as far back ‘as the signing of the declaration of independ- ence. The statement showed him to be a native of Mansfield, Ohio, an old democrat now of the greenback party. It also showed him to be a Rewspaper publisher in days gone by as well as his connection with various organizations, among them being the “Harlem syndicate” the “Sons and daughters of America,” the ~‘Sons of Temperance.” He produced papers to show that the name “Father Columbia” is used by authority of the New York legislature, but as the certificate was not properly made’ out the judge would not admit them in testimony. The defendant also said that the record a: peared in the printed laws of 1878-9. Defend- act said he was the owner of real estate in New Jersey which, he thought, under the hammer. would bring €250.000. but he would not surrender his claim for $1,000,000. He said he never had any desire to hold land or anything else in his own name, and so he holds the land as trustee. The court heard along historical statement from the defendant about his religious and pa- triotie views and interrupted him by asking where his 21,000,000 worth of land was located. “In Butler county, Mo.,” he answered, “I ‘own one mile square.” Defendant produced the deed dated 1869, and the court said that the deed had never been re- corded. Ni said the defendant, ‘it has never “If all the papers are like this,” remarked Mr. Pugh. “‘I object to any of them being of- fered in evidence.” — DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. PROTESTING AGAINST A MARKET. J. Cooper McGinn, representing the property owners in square 684, appeared before the Com- missioners this morning and submitted « pro- tion, A partial reimbursement was made by | test. from property owners against the the sale of seats on the stands at 50 cents each | establishment of a market in that and that their erection cost about €25,000. The | square, holding that such an institu- contractors might make about eight or ten thousand dollars. ‘The tickets had been put on sale at fixed prices, and the ticket speculation complained of was universal. A statement was made by Mr. Chandler (N.H.) to the effect that he Jearned on inquiring for seats yesterday that tickets for seats on the first row ‘cost $3; on the second row, #4.50; on the third row. $3.50; on the fourth row, #2, and on the rear row, $1.50. E Other Senators corroborated the statement of Mr. Gorman and then the resolution was adopted. OBJECTION TO EXTENDING THE TIME. Mr. Hunton called up in the Senate today the bill to incorporate the Washington, Fairfax and Alexandria Railroad Company. Mr. ‘Hunton desired to have inserted an amendment which would change the time within which the construction should be commenced to twelve months. To this proposition Mr. Hale ob- fepted. | He said that he was willing to have the ill considered as it was reported from thecom- mittee, but he must object to any amend- ment which would extend the time for the beginning and the completion of the road. ‘the Senate had had some experience with corporations which obtained charters and then sold the right asa speculation, and the only protection offered was to have’ the work done at once. ‘Mr. Gorman called attenticn to the fact that the bill allowed the road to use any power they desired and, then, on the objection of Mr. Cullom, the bill went over. THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY BRIDGE. Mr. Vest, from the Senate committee on commerce, today reported favorably a sub- stitute for the bill to allow the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric Railway Company to construct a bridge across the Potomac and operate certain street car lines in thiscity. The substitute simple b bill, the subject of the lines within the city being referred to the commaittee bridge must be submitted to and ‘approved by the Secretary of War.

When They Meet as Daughters of the Rev- olution. | | THE sEcoxp DAY'S SESSION OF THE SECOND cox- i TINENTAL CONGRESS OF THE D. a. R—WuaT WAS DONE AT THE SESSION THIS MORNING— | THE PROGRAM FOR TRE AFTERNOON sEssrtoN. | After the festivities of a reception at the Arlington, which was the experience of the | Daughters of the American Revolution last | evening. they did not come together for the | second session of their congress at the Univer- | |salist Church this morning at as early an hour as the programme announced. However, | the delegates finally reached the church and the attendance was if anything larger than it was at the opening session yesterday. There | is no doubt of the interest in the society and in the sessions of the congress which | is taken by the delegates. They not only come to the meetings, but they remain as interested spectators and when they take part in the pro- ceedings, which is quite generally done, they show an aptness for public speaking and ¥ of expression which would give them | high rank ax public speakers if they cared to | bother with that sort of thing. A LITTLE STIK IN THE MEETING. Mrs. Cabell presided today and after the minutes were read an effort was made to have |the reports of the officers taken up and considered. There was some lit-| | tle feeling manifested over this proposi- | | tion and’ after a somewhat lengthy dis- cussion it was decided to postpone the matter until Inter in the session. One reason given for the anxiety to have the reports considered | is that it is thought that the incoming officers |may not be favorably disposed on cer- | tain questions. Then Mr. Bernard R. Green | from the society of the sons was introduced. | | He showed the ladies plans of « building which | | that organization proposes to erect in this city. His explanation of the plans was listen: to and then they were referred to. the j building committee of the daughters | society which is engaged in considerating plans | for a building which they propose to erect here. | Aw one of the delegates remarked to a friend the question is will the daughters go im with the | sons on this building scheme or will the | sons be asked to join with the danghters in | erecting in this city an appropriate building. | As the daughters outnumber the sone this del: | egate thought that the latter plan was | the most reasonable one. The remainder of the session until the adjournment for lunch, which | was served by the ladies of the District chap- ters in the rooms adjoining the church, was devoted to hearing the reports of the state re- gents. | DISTRICT DAUGHTERS, The report of the regent of the District, Mrs. Beverly Kennon, was of more than usual inter- est, for the reason that it announced that the |iargest chapter in the country was located here. This is the Mary Washington Chap- ter, which has a membership of 267. The officers are as follows: Mra. E. B. Lee, regent; | Miss Virginia Miller, vice regent: Misa J. F. H. Richards, recording secretary: Miss Marguerite Dickens,’ correspondii secretary; Mra, Dr. Lamb, treasurer, and Mra. Janin, registrar. Dollie Madison Chapter was reported to have thirty-six members, with Mrs, M. H. Hollowell ae regent, Mra. Chas. 8. Johnson as registrar, ‘Miss Van’ Hook as recording secretary, Miss Maclay as corresponding secretary and Miss | Hallowell as treasurer. A third chapter, to be nown as the Martha Washington Chapter, is now being formed under the direction of Miss Lillian Pike. It is expected that the election of officers ill be held at the session this afternoon. Mra. | Stevenson, the wife of the Vice President-elect, is generally spoken of in connection with the office of president, and it is the desire to elect | Mrs. Cabell to a position equivalent to the one she now holds, which is that of the active officer of the society. AFTERNOON SESSION, The program of the session this afternoon, which began at 2 o'clock, included the follow- ing papers: Mre.

Accident to Mrs. W. J. Murtagh. A shocking accident happened at the corner | of Pennsylvania avenue and Gth street about 1:30 o'clock today. Two ponies attached to « country wagon had started to run away from the neighborhood of the Center Market and one of the animals had broken loose from the vehicle. Mrs, Murtagh, wife of W. J. Murtagh, formerly editor of the National Repubiican, was crossing the street at the time and she was unfortunate enough to | become entangled in the harness. She was walking at the time with Mrs. Pierce, wifeof Congrossman Pierce of Tennessee. She was dragged from the corner of Pennsylvania avenue nearly to the 6th street depot. When picked up her face ‘was found to be badly bruised and cut, and xhe was also injured about her body, besides being badly shaken up. Bystanders removed the injured lady to the National Hotel, where she resides, and Dr. | Lincoln was sent for to attend her. It is not thought that any ones were broken or that her injuries are of such a nature us to endanger her life. ‘The Findlay Nomination. It appears that the nomination of John V. F.

Of the once cozy little club house at the Ivy City race track nothing now remains but amass of smouldering embers and the brick founda- tion walls, a fire which started about 3:30 this morning having totally destroved the building Last evening Mr. William Sanderson, who has had charge of the club house for the past seven or eight vears, and his wife and son retired about 11:30. ‘About four bours later young Mr. Sanderson was awakened by the smell of smoke and upon getting up discovered that the house hastily aroused bis parents, but ree were compelled to leave the building in their night clothes, #0 quickly did the flames spread. not having time toe save their clothing.

Sanderson not even having time to catch her purse, which contained about @200. Mr. Sanderson puts his loss at $3,000, including farniture, clothing, silver ware and” stock, om which there is an insurance of about $1,000. Mr. Sanderson stated toa Sram reparter that he could not account for the origin of the fire, and perhaps never would know what started it | It is said that the Ivy City people will at once begin the erection of another peat and commodious house. The fire Will in no way interfere with the inauguration of the Ivy City Jockey Club's race meeting Sat- urday, althoug it will of course cause the guests of the club some inconvenience. That is, provided a sufficient number of the ex- pected horses arrive in time, for this morning not more than twenty horses ready to race were atthe grounds. Several car loads, however, have left the Guttenberg and Gloucester tracks 'y track, 1t is said, and are hourly expected. > — OPPOSED TO THE EXTENSION. Reports Made to the Commiasioners in Ref- erence to the Tax Arrears Bill. Referring to the act of Congress now before the Commissioners for action to amend the act of May 6, 1890, fixing the rate of interest to be charged on arrearages of general and special taxes now due the District of Columbia, Col- lector Davis, to whom the matter was referred, says: “The provisions of the act of Ma; 6, 1890, allowing taxes to be paid wi i= cent interest in lien of ail Penalties and costs, including arrears of ‘taxes for July, 1888, while the act festiy unjust to a large class of taxpayers are dened this privilege, it might be sidered an act of justice to allow parties to avail themselves of the privileges of a law the benefits of which they were deprived from various reasons, but I cannot see an: 4 justice in extending the benefit to them alone for vears when no such law existed. The enforcement of this act would cause inconvenience and embarrassment Ite visions being confined to property involved in law and where miners were owners at the time the arrearages of taxes were ved at 6 per centam will necessitate the tion of evidence showing these facts before so- | counts could be rendered, which might be as expensive to the taxpaver as though to pay the accrued interest and penalty under the ‘existing law. ‘The taxes in arrears for 1892 have been listed for advertivement and eale in April, 1893, and will be published in nccordance with law in March, 1893, at the expense of several thousand dollars to the District; the provisions of this act clearly affect s large amount of property, just how much it is impossible to say or know until the evidence necessary be presented, but I think the ap- Proval of the act will canse serious inconveni- ence and loss to the District.” Upon the same bill the chief of the special as- sessment division makes a report saying that if the bill included special assesaments objection | would be made to the provision being limited to tain favored elasa, nticipates that should the bill an effort will be made to stretch At mo as to cover epecial assesamenta, It is probable that the Commissioners will return the bill to the President with their dis- approval, >— Sigma Chi Officers Elected.
