New Yorx, March 27.—Judge Wallace, in the United States circuit court, this morning | handed down a decision im the case of John C. Eno, the defaulting president of the Second National Bank, who in 1884 fled to Canada to escape punishment for misappropriating the funds of the bank, but returned to this city a few months ago to face the music. ve indictments against Eno lay in the dis- trict attorney's office, and when the abscond- ing president returned he was compelled to furnish $10,000 baii to District Attorney Nicoll. | Eno’s counsel, Col. Bliss, took steps to have the caseremoved from the jurisdiction of the state courts. The case was argued before Judge Wallace in Albany several weeks ago. District Attorney Nicol, who opposed the motion, contended that Eno’s offense was committed’ against the United States banking laws as operated in the state of New York, which made him subject to Punishment under the laws of the state. ‘The argument of Col. Bliss was to the effect that the indictment charged an offense against the United States law, which mad him amen- able only in the United States circuit court. The opmion of Judge Wallace upholds the contention of Col. Biiss, the indictments against Eno in the court of general sessions are dismissed. Judge Benedict, in the United States crimi- nalcourt, has now under consideration a motion of ex-Senator Frank Hiscock to dismies the {n- dictments against Eno, returned by the graud jury in the United States court in 188i. If these indictments are dismissed Eno will then free. ‘ —_—> -— AGAINST THE FARIBAULT PLAN. Resolutions Introduced at the Conference at Front Roy: Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Front Rovat, Va, March 27.—The Balti- more conference of the M. E. Church South this morning adopted a number of committee reports. ‘The special committee appointed to consider the charges against Rev. V. W. Wheeler of Clifton Forge reported that no evidence could be obtained upon which to base a bill of charges. Rumors of intemperance had been circulated aguinst Mr. Wheeler. The matter was referred to another committee, Mr. Wheeler asking a fall investigation. Resolutions were introduced protesting against the Faribanit echool plan and were referred to 4 special committee. 1¢ statistical reports showed the following figures: For Washington district. members, 7.32 eburch edifices, 64; value. #191,- 700; ' parsona, 17; value, $3,500; value of other church property, $3,640: pres- ent indebtedness on church property, $12,284; paid on ministerial support, 815.827: conferences claimants, $1,559; Sunday “schools, 78; offi- cers and teachers, 828; scholars, 5,232; paid for foreign missions, $1,823; domestic missions, $963; church extension, $439; education, $233. The conference accepted an invitation to meet next year at Fredericksburg, Va. pa CHANGE AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT. ‘The Chief of the Consular Bureau Re- quested to Withdraw. ‘The Secretary of State has determined to make a change in the office of chief of the con- sular bureau of the State Department and has called for the resignation of the incumbent, Dr. F. O. St. Clair. This action has caused general surprise, as Dr. St. Clair bas been regarded asa fixture in the department. He has held the office for twenty-eignt years and was considered a most efiicient officer. It is impossible to learn the reasons for the change or the name of Mr. St. Clair’s successor. Mr. St. Clair was seen by a Stax reporter this afternoon, but asked to be jexeused from talking on the subject. In auswer to the direct inquiry, “Have you re- signed?” he replied, “I have not,” but inti= mated more by his manner than by bis words that his official connection with the depart- ment was practically closed.

EN. RIN “To sustain ths prosecution the theory, ned, “it would be necessary for the court to add su! stantially the following provisions to section 17 of the law of March 3, 1893: “Provided, how- ever, that the words during the preceding year when applied to the current license vear shall be so construed as to exclude the m: hs of November, December, January and February and the first two dave of Mareb. — Pro- vidad, also, that the word “license” contained in the first line shall not apply to any license for the current license vea d by the Dis- | trict Commissioners during the months and days aforesaid.” being the intent of this act to repudiate the license contracts heretofore entered into by the District Commissioners, and,” added Gen. Birney, “to keep the money paid as the conkideration for said contracts and to take for the public use, without compensation, all the Fights vested in the owners of the privileges granted in said eontracts.”” Following this counsel referred to the words “euch license” and said that Congress evidently | mesnt this to include the licenses granted under the old law, and when he applied tor a renewal of the license he would make the appli- cation for a renewal under the new “There is no such thing asa renewal of @ license,” remarked Judge Miller. “When @ ‘man makes application it is for a new license and not for a renewal of the old license.” Ex-Commussioner Douglass was prewnt when ‘Mr. Hazelton rose to make his final address. TRE CLOSING ARGUMENT. Mr. Hazelton in his closing argument said that considerable time had been spent as tolthe admissibility of testimony (the old license). ‘The defense, he xard, bad made no plea as to the sufticiency of the information. They admit- ted the sale as proved by the District nd sought indemnity under the old license. m. Birney said that the defense contended further, and when he attempted to explain his position a discussion followed of the « s to whether the old license was a contract, “I'll aamit for the sake of argumen’ Mr. Hazelton, “thatthe act of i871 is a r act, and that being the case I submit t must fall before the police act, which has for its object the good of the community, and it must therefore stand higher than an’ act for revenue only. The court remarked that the question nar- rowed down to whether the law of “Tl, being a Tevente act, made sacred & contract wich Congress could not revoke. —_—__- ASSESSMENT »K CURBING, A Question as to the Amount to Be Paid by the Property. The appropriation act for 1894 contains the following paragraph: “That when new sidewalks or curbing are hereafter required to be laid on stroets being improved one-half the total cost shall be as- sessed against abutting property in like manner and under the jaw governing in the case of compulsory permit work: rovided, that abutting property «hall not be iable to such assessinent when a sidewalk and curbing have been lad by the District author- ities in front of the same under the permit syx- tem within two years prior to such a settiowent, and all such ciarges and assessments shall be refunded or abated.” Capt. Fiebeger called the attention of the Commissioners to this matter and asked that the opinion of the attorney be obtained thereon. A request has recently been made for the abatement of : ment for new curb under paragr: An old bluestone curb was placed in fron: of this property at the request of the property owners. The property owner paid the cost of setting the curb. but paid noth: for the curb itself. Within two years the street was improved and by order of the Com- de is the total assessment for the new curv celed or shail the cost of setting it alone be canceled. —»—_—_ THE CASE OF SMALi.WOOD, What Judge Coie Says in Kecard te the © Application for Clemency.
