The Site for the Buildings — Work Must Be Commenced Within Ten Years—Chevy Chase Deed. From an interview with Miss M. E. Mann, who has given herseif without re- serve and with untiring energy to the work of getting from Congress a charter for the Protestant Fpiscopal Cathedral Foundation, and of procuring the deeds of the lands donated and purchased for the site of the cathedral, and the educational institutions to be connected with it, a Star reporter learned the following iuteresting facts relating to the cathedral project and its present status, which she regards @s eminently satisfactory in every way. Miss Mann expresses herself as greatly indebted to the late Engineer Commissioner, Capt. W. T. Rossel, for his kindly interest and valuable assistance in both of these under- takings. It was at his suggestion that it would strengthen the title to have a new survey made of the entire property, and the plat recorded, that she sought out Mr. H. B. Looker and induced him to make the surveys, which he generously did without cost to the corporation. The areas here given as determined by this survey Lave Deen accepted as correct by all the parties interested. A Valuable Roudway. Mr. H. P. Waggaman's donation con- sists of two parcels of land, block 1, Wood- ley Park, three acres, and a strip 100 feet wide, containing 1.7838 acres, to be given to the District for a roadway connecting Woodley lane and Connecticut avenue. This strip gives the additional frontege on Woodley lane which is necessary for the cathedral buildings. Of the two sections of the Clark tract, the one containing eight acres was do- Rated by Mr. Francis G. Newiands and Senator William M. Stewart ‘the Chevy Chase Land Company). It adjoins the Waggaman gift on the west, and extenis along Woodley lane to 30th street extend- ed. The other, containing 7.738 acres, ex- tends north to the Klingle road, with a frontage of 82 feet on Connecticut uverue, at the Klingle bridge. The Messrs. Stew- art and Newlands gave further evidence of their interest in the project by sclling this piece of land to the cathedral outhorities for the same price paid by them for it two years before, with ¢ per cent interest on the amount from the date of their pur- The four separate deeds hava been sign- ed, acknowledged, and passed to the com- mittee appointed to receive them, and have temporary charge of the cathedral property. The Chevy Chase Deed. The following extracts from the Chevy Chase eight-acre deed will give the citt. zens of Washington a clearer idea of th location of the cathedral site, and the con- ditions attached to the deeds of the donat- ed lands: “The said plece or parcel of land contain- ing exactly eight acres, as per survey of Henry B.

Sucked Into the Outlet Pipe Public Bath. From the Westminster Gazette. Emil August Goth, aged eleven, the third son of Mr. Goth, a traveler, residing at 13 Cannon Street road, St. George’s-in-the- East, came to a terrible end on Monday evening. Owing to the hot weather the peo- ple in the neighborhood flocked in great numbers to the Jubilee public baths in Betts | street, a their Here te Indinpatatle evidence of Sect, and the officials were taxed to thei ou: utmost to meet the demands.

The greatest sympathy is fe! for the family HYATTSVILLE. The Hyattsville section of the chorus of the centennial anniversary of laying the corner stone of the Capitol held rehearsals, under the directorship of Prof. J. A .Roeder, at the Presbyterian Church last Monday and Thursday nights. The choruses, “The Heavens Are Telling,” “Te Deum,” “Amer. ica,” “Home, Sweet Home,” and “The “Coronation,” were practiced. At the lat- ter rehearsal twenty-six singers were pres- ent. This section is making excelleat pro- gress, and expects to add several more voices to its number at its next rehearsal, which will be held on Monday night. Miss Nannie Fowler, the secretary of this sec- tion, deserves ‘considerable credit for her earnest effarts in its behalf. The singers who compose the chorus of this place are as follows: Misses Bertha Rathbone and L. Riley, altos; Misses Bessie and Nannie Fowler, Edith Rathbone, Edith Gallant, Mary Frazier, M. Bennett, Lilly Acker, C. Duffy, T. Giusta, Lelia Aman, Mrs. N. A. Dunning and Mrs. Aman, sopranos; Messrs. Preston, McMillan and Wm. Hickey, :en- ors, and Messrs. J. F. Hickey, G. Burns, Riley, Wm.

The board of town commissioners met last evening at the residence of Dr. Chas. A. Wells. The sanitary condition ‘of the town was looked into and other local busi- ness was transacted.

The Brookland Citizens’ Association held its regular monthly meeting last night in the new town hall, President Lynch in the chair and Mr. John Massie secretary. There was quite a large attendance, notwith- standing the inclement weather, and per- fect harmony prevailed. President Lynch appointed the following chairmen of standing committees: Member- ship, F. R. McCormick; railroads, tele- phones and telegraph, Dr. Frank T. Howe; streets, Thos. G. Carmick; lights, B. T. Sparhawk; sanitation, Dr. J. H. ‘Brooks, and public schools, W: B. Burrows. ‘There was quite an interesting discussion over the delay in the Eckington Railroad Company in ‘extending its tracks to the University station, as had been promised, and the prospect’ of being compelled to walk the distance from the University gate was not at all pleasing to the residents of Brookland. A motion was adopted that the railroad committee interview the officers of the road and endeavor to obtain some defl- nite information on the subject. A commit- tee of three, consisting of the president, Dr. Frank T. Howe and Mr. W. B. Burrows, was appointed to revise the constitution of the association, and on motion of Rev. R. R. West until’ such revision be completed the chairmen of the different standing com- mittees and the officers of the association are to constitute the executive committee and act accordingly. a ANACOSTIA, Further developments in the post office matter are awaited with interest.

RISLEY. A Gentleman Well-Known in This City. Mr. Hansen A. Risley, who died at West Newton, Mass., on the 23d ultimo, was very well known in this city, where he lived for several years. He was born in Fredonia, N. ¥., June 16, 183, making him a Uttle over eighty years old at the time of his death. The founder of the family, Richard Risley, settled in Massachusetts in 1638, and ever since that time his descendants have been among the foremost citizens of the eastern states. Mr. Risley was educated at the academy in Hamilton, N. ¥., and after his gradua- tion began the study of law in the office of @ relative in Buffalo, on his admission to the bar practicing that profession at Dunkirk, N.Y. He first occupied a po- sition in public life by his appointment as clerk of the general assembly of New York, which office he held for one term. He be- came the close friend of Gov. Wm. H. Seward, the intimacy continuing without @ break until the death of the governor many years thereafter. Mr. Risley’s life at this time was especially eventful and interesting, enjoying as he did the friend- ship of many of the leading public men of the day, including Daniel Webster, Gen. cy, Thurlow Weed and Horace Greeley. On the occasion of the completion of the Lake Erle and Western railroad to Dun- kirk, of which he was counsel at that time, Mr. ‘Risley entertained Daniel Webster and other distinguished men at his home in that place. * Mr. Risley continued in the practice of his profession at Dunkirk until June, 1883, when he was called to this city by being appointed by Secretary Chase one of the supervising special agents of the Treasury Department, in connection with the cotton Durchases. ‘He afterward became assistant solicitor of the treasury under President Johnson. His public life in Washington ended in 187%, when he went to Colorado in the interest of Gen. Wm. J. Palmer, and engaged in various enterprises there. In 1876 he was for a year the editor of the Gazette, published at Colorado Springs. In 187 he was appointed solicitor of. the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, and in June, 1879, when that road was in difm- culty with the Santa Fe, he was made re celver of the company. He continued connection with that corporation as n= eral solicitor of the land department after the railroad began to make numerous ex- tensions. He resigned this position in 188 and afterward lived quietly at Colorado Springs, retaining his connection with vari- ous corporations having offices there. He was twice married in early life in New York and in his later years in Colo- rado. He leaves a widow, and two daugh- ters by his first wife, Miss Olive Risley Seward, who is so well known in this city, and Mrs. Alfred Rodman of Dedham, Mass., @ frequent visitor in Washington during the winter season. Mr. Risley was always @ central figure of interest at his daugh- ter’s house; a man of affairs, sound judg- ment, brilliant in conversation, and a per- fect type of the old school gentleman in manners, which can come only from a disposition that thinks no Ill of others. His loss will be sincerely and keenly felt by the many friends who will mourn his death. ————_ AT THE RIVER FRONT. Arrived. Schooner Edward Daiger, Petersburg, 50,000 feet of lumber, H. L. Biscoe.

Officer Perry of the harbor force was left behind to look out for the yellow fever suspect Booth. At present the lookout is stationed off River View, where the river is narrow and a long range of vision may be had. The men seem rather wearied with thelr watch, but show no signs of weakenin: The removal of Capt. Davis from the command of the Norfolk. and Washington propeller Washington without a stated cause will probably cause trouble. Capt. Davis is a member of the Washington Har- bor of Masters and Pilots, and that organi- zation will look into ‘the case. Capt. Geoghegan, who assumed command of the Washington, is a member of the Balti- more Harbor of Masters and Pilots. An officer of the Washington harbor told a re- porter for The Star this morning that no steamship company would be permitted to remove @ master without assigning a Treason, and Capt. Geoghegan violated the constitution of the order in accepting such a ncy. The matter will be settled dur- ing the week. It may develop some inter- esting facts.

An Indianapolis special says: Indianapolis is taking on a profusion of color in prepa- ration for the visit of the old soldiers next week, when the national encampment be- gins. All the local decorators, and several from the east, have been retained to em- bellish the buildings with flags and bunting in shapely forms. The decoration thus far shown exceeds anything ever seen in the city before. Tomlinson Hall, which holds 4,000 people, and which is the place where the sessions and receptions will be held, is gorgeously decorated within and without. ‘The repre- sentatives will sit under an immense cano- py made by streamers cf red and white radiating from the center of the celling to the walls on every side. From the ipex hangs a cluster of flags of ali nations on this side of the Atlantic, and four other such clusters dispel the vacuity of the high ceiling. The walls are hung with banners, army corps badges, shields, and the em- broidered seals of the states. The front of the galleries and balcony Is covered with maroon plush, relieved alternately ty tro- phies of mediaeval ages symbolizing war, and by wreaths symboliaing peace. The stage has a semi-canopy made of streamers of the national colors with the starry ends coming to a point at the apex. Robert Park Church, where the rational meeting of the Woman's Itelief Corps will be held, is also handsomely decorated. Launching the Kearsarge. Thousands of citizens witnessed Thurs- day night the ceremony uf launching a ship. It is the mimic ship Kearsarge, built in the State House yard in imitation of the famous victor in the naval battle with the Alabama in the waters of Cherbourg. A young woman, after the imaginary plunge into the bosom of the waters, broke a bot- tle of wine athwart the vessel's bow, and said “I christen thee ‘the Kearsarge. The ship was then thrown open to the Public, who paid for wimission. It was put in commission yesterday morning, and at 10 o'clock the naval veterans had their annual parade and review by National Commander Osborn of Ruston. The com- mander of the ship is Capt. John B. Wirt of Indianapolis. Rear Admiral Osborn and staff, consist- ing of Commodore F. 8. Allen, Hartford, Conn.; Capt. Cyrus Gears, Baltimore; Com- modore C. H. Leaman, Dayton; Lieut. Commander L. D. Woodrutt, Rockford, Ill. Senior Lieut. Z. P. Bragg, Duluth, Mic! Lieut. Joseph H. Ciuse, Phihulelphis; Fleet Surgeon T. Trezo Sheetzer, Haltimore; Fleet Master E. F. Dustia, baltimore; Fleet Engineer Samuel Byckerstaff, Cin- cinnat!, were met at the station with all the ceremony required by the United States regulations, and were driven to the ship, where a salute of thirteen guns signalized their presence. After mounting the ship and receiving a cordial greeting the arrivals went below and held a short reception, being presented to Executive Director Fortune and others of the citizens’ committee. The rexr admi- ral expressed his pleasure at the trimness of the ship, and at the preparations that had been made for the comfort and pleas- ure of the tars. Grizzled Jack Norris, a sailor from the United States steamer RichmonJ, will hoist the pennant to the mast today. Daisy Little,Cincinnati's famous “Daugh- ter of the Regiment,” hes arrived in the 4 at the same time that Jack Norris the pennant she will naul the ad- miral’s flag after. By the ume the flags of the admiral and the navy are flying it 1s expected that there will be at least 2,000 delegates in attendance. Gen. Harrison Arrives. Ex-President Benjamin HMurrison arrived home yesterday, and will put his house in readiness to entertain Gen. Noble and Gen. Rusk of his cabinet during the encamp- ment. His post and the George H. Thomas Post is very anxious for bim to march with them, and it is probable that he will do so if his health permits. Gen, Lew Wallace also arrived yesterday from a trip to New York. He said that he would march with his post, McPherson Post of Crawfordsville. It is common report among the delegates that the affairs of the National Naval As- sociation are not what they should be. Rear Admiral Osborn has deposed the late treasurer, Alexander G. Fortler of Buffalo, and appointed E, F. Dustin treasurer in his stead. No official report has been made by Fortier. The matter of the association finances is one of the most important things that will come before the convention on Monday. It 1s learned that the report of the com- mittee on pensions, which is to be sub- mitted to the national encampment, takes the ground that a pension once granted has the force and nature of 4 judgment against the government, and vanuot be suspended without due notice and prima facie evidence of fraud.

It Will Be Stamped Out by State and Federal Authorities, The following statement, signed by Health Inspector Benjamin of Jersey City. was given out yesterday afternoon at san- itary headquarters: “The case of Martin Crowe, who died at the City Hospital, Jer- sey City, after examination by Dr. Doty, chief inspector of contagious diseases, has been determined to be of Asiatic cholera. The case of Mrs. Rhoda Black is still under investigation. This diagnosis has been confirmed by Dr. F. J. Kingoun, surgeon United States Marine Hospital Service. Crowe, who was a man without any per- manent home, had been working in Jersey City and died on August 30. He had been in the hospital only two days when he died. The case excited suspicion and the New York experts were called. The result was that Dr. Briggs, chief inspector of pathology, found the spirillum of cholera in the matertal furnished by Dr. Doty. Surgeon Gen. Wyman and Dr. P. H. Bail- hache of the service and Cléef Surgeon Joseph J. Kingston of quarantine have been at Jersey City for two days collecting data and statistics in connection with the cholera cases. Health Officer Jenkins of New York city was there last night in consultation with the loca! health authorities. A conference was held to devise means for stamping out the cholera at Jersey City. It was attended by Acting Mayor Simpson and Corporation Counsel William D. Edwards on behalf of the city, Surgeon Gen. Wyman and Drs. Kingoun and Bail- hache of the federal government, Dr. Jen- kins of the state of New York, Drs. Con- verse and Varick of the county health board, Dr. A. C. Hunt and President Henry of the city health board. Mayor Simpson said the city had a cholera fund of $3,000 left from last year, and was ready to ex- pend it. It was aiso ready to co-operate with the federal government. Surgeon Gen. Wyman said the govern- ment would do all it could to stop the dis- ease and would furnish money. It was necessary to quarantine the city. Gen. ‘Wyman will have charge of the city and Dr. Jenkins of the water front. Dr. Bond of New York will be put in charge of the city’s sanitary work and a squad of special officers will be placed at his disposal. All suspects will be sent to the emergency hos- pital. President Feeny said the case of ‘William Norton, who was the first victim, had been traced to some fruit imported from New York and which he had taken home. The sanitary work will begin at once. ——__+e+_____ England's Cholera-Infected Town, Grimsby, England, where Asiatic cholera is epidemic, is a seaport town of Lincoln- shire, lying on the right bank of the Hum- ber, twenty miles southeast of Hull. The town is famous as the largest fishing port in the United Kingdom, and for years has sent out large fleets of fishing smacks after cod, herring and whelk. The dock area covers a space of over 350 acres. About 3,500 vessels, with an average burden of 675,000 tons, enter every year, and the num- ber and burden of those leaving are about the same. Of its population of 51,876 by far the larger proportion are seafaring people. In addition to the numbers who find em- ployment in the fishing fleets, many ship as sailors from other English and con- tinental ports, and it is from one of these latter, probably Antwerp, that the pest that is working such havoc in the town was brought. coe — American Bar Association Election, “The closing session of the American Bar Association was held at Milwaukee yester- @ay morning. Nominations of the general council of officers were elected as follows: President, Thomas M. Cooley, Michigan; secretary, Otis Hinkley, Baltimore, Md., and treasurer, Francis Rawle, Philadelphia, re-elected. The list of vice presidents in- cludes one representative from nearly‘ every state in the union. HOME RULE CARRIED. The Bill Passed by the House of Com- mons by 34 Majority. ‘The Irish home rule bill passed the house of commons at midnight last night by a Note, Of Sil ayes to 267 nays, a majority of 34. The time having arrived for the third Teading of the bill the speaker formally put the motion and ordered a division of the house. Mr. Gladstone was the first to record his vote and Mr. Morley was the last. Each was accorded an ovation, as was also Mr. Balfour. When the figures were announced the Irish members sprang to their feet and cheered wildly, waving hats, handkerchiefs, and the like, while the opposition members raised counter cheers and shouts of “Re- sign, resign!” On the liberal side of the house Wil- liam Saunders, member for the Wolworth division of Newington, voted against the government, Mr. Wallace abstained from voting, and William Rathbone, member for the Arfon’ division of Carnavonshire, was absent. On the unionist side Sir Ed- ward Watkin and Baron Henry de Worms were absent. Closing the Debate. Justin McCarthy, the anti-Parnellite leader, was the first speaker in the closing debate on the bill. He said that, although the bill did not kave the pedantic charac- ter of finality which its opponents con- tended any home rule measure must have, it contained finality in principle. When Ireland should get her national parliament it would include finality in the true sense of the term. Irishmen so accepted the measure as a final adjustment of their lead- ing grievance against Great Britain. Joseph Chamberlain, leader of the lib- eral unionists, while disclaiming all inten- tion of questioning Mr. McCarthy's sin- cerity, said that he could not forget how another leader of the Irish, after accept- ing a bill as a complete settlement of the demands of freland, recanted and declared it was accepted only as a temporary in- stallment. = is bill ever be continued Mr. Chamberlain, “you will have the Irish coming to parliament demanding more and more and putting pressure on minis- try after ministry, until at last some min- ister will be found weak enough or base enough to buy the Irish vote by granting final separation. (Hear, hear!) The mis- chief that the government has done by in- troducing this policy is irreparable. It has made enormously more difficult the gov- ernment of Ireland; it has postponed in- definitely the hope of the completion of a better settlement. “The bill is now about to go to another place. We probably shall never see it again. (Cheers.) But whether we see it or not, I am convinced that the British people ‘will give the policy embodied in it @ deathblow at the first opportunity of- fered them. This bill will vanish, but the weakness of the Mberal party, its lack of independence, and its treatment of vital interests of the country, as mere incidents of the New Castle program, will not be forgotten nor forgiven by the British de- mocracy.”” Prolonged unionist cheers followed this peroration. Mr. Balfour, conservative leader, said that the house had not discussed 'three- fourths of the home rule bill, either in committee or in the report stage. The bill Was an absolute reversal of the constitu- tion. It involved a change of every funda- mental principle of the constitution. What was the prospect of gain to Ireland? The Irish members of parliament had indulged in destructive criticism of the landlords and the Irish government, but had never yet produced a practical’ proposal likely to be of permanent value and to relieve the troubles of the country they aspired to rule. ‘The present bill was a mockery of legislation. Every one voting for it knew something of its worthlessness, and that to pass it was like trying to put life into a dead carcass. John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland, held that the’ opposition to the bill under discussion had been conducted in bad faith. If obstruction was patriotism, he said, closure was patriotism. In regard to the argument that there was no finality about the biil, he had never claimed a finality for any’ solution of any deep-rooted politi- cal question. There was no such thing. In the Lords. Immediately after the sitting of the house of lords was resumed, and five minutes later the home rule bill passed its first reading. Pre Dh LSI TO AVOID HIGH TAXES. George Gould Will Mov. York to Ulster Co The report that George J. Gould was going to become a resident of Ulster county in order to evade taxation in New York was no surprise to the department of taxes and assessments of that city. Jay Gould never owned up to more than $500,000 worth of personal property. The tax commissioners never could find more, but when Gould died and the inventory of his estate showed that he was possessed of many millions of taxable property the com- missioners had their inning. ‘They were guided in their action to a great extent by the levying of the collateral inheritance tax, which was based on a val- uation of $70,000,000. George Gould contested the assessment of $10,000,000 on the estate, and the matter is now before the courts. If he claims Ulster county as a_perma- nent residence while occupying his 5th ave- nue palace he must either take with him to Ulster county ail of the stocks, bonds, mort- gages and other securities now assessed in New York, or he must show that they are all assessed in Ulster county, because in the assessment law the location of taxable property is the main point to be considered. So {t was said at the tax department. By claiming a residence in Ulster county Mr. Gould’s taxes will be greatly reduced, as the assessments in the rural districts are lower than in the city. ‘The case in part is similar to that of the David Dows estate. The heirs of Dows claimed residence in Westchester county, and the courts sustained them. ciate aae<- UCR CHIEF JUSTICE OF SAMOA. Harry‘C. Ide of St. Joh ‘Tendered the Pos! Harry C. Ide of St. Johnsbury, Vt, has been tendered the position of chief justice of Samoa, This office is one filled by con- sent of three treaty powers—Germany, England and America—and carries with it great responsibility, and demands much legal ability on the part of the incumbent. Mr. Ide’s appointment came by the recom- mendation of Germany during President Harrison’s administration, and was re- cently taken up again by the present ad- ministration. The appointee was at one time United States land commissioner at Samoa, and his acquaintance with the people and ci toms there, together with his recognized ability as a lawyer, would serve him to excellent advantage in the important po- sition offered him. 5, Vty John Boyd Thacher threw a little light yesterday at Chicago on the charges of bribery and solicitation of bribes by judges of awards. He said he had in his posses- sion documentary evidence which tended to implicate H. B. Hardt, who styles himself a pleader. In a circular sent out osten- sibly by the man the statement is made that he has experience in connection with obtaining awards at previous expositions. His specialty is pleading before juries in any department for awards for certain ex- hibitors. A copy of this circular is in Chairman Thacher’s possession. He also says he has proof in the form of a letter that money has been placed in certain Chicago banks by exhibitors for their agents to be paid to Hardt if they receive an award. This evi- dence has been gathered by secret service detectives, and will be placed before the national commission for its use when it is complete. ee ———+e-__*__ A warrant for embezzlement was issu Tuesday against Charles G.

How Highland Won y for Him at St. Louis. From the St Louis Star Sayings “Speaking about rain coming. just sin time to make a race very easy for some mud larks,” remarked a horeman at Haw. thorne, as he stepped out of reach of a horse's hoofs in the paddock, “reminds me of a day in St. Louis. We liked Highland, and all went to the track \o play the fas: mare. Our spirits were at the lowest notch, however, when we viewed the track. It Was as dry as a bone and covered with about an inch of dust. The mare could never win in that going. With a firm re- Mance, however, in the man who asked us us to come out and play the mare, we waited, money in hand, to play Highland. A hot, parching wind blew over the track, and at intervals the little apriakling wagon toyed with the dust in a vain effoxt to get the best of the sun’s rays. “Why didn’t you get a hose out and male &@ mortar box out of the track?” suggested Jockey who was an auditor. “A spiritualist in our party said we would have rain. But I had despaired of rain. ‘The betting began and the pencilers were busy taking in money upon clmost every entry in the race except Highlaad. ‘Come on, boys, Bolivar Buckner is a cinch at 6 to 5," cried one man upon the Mock. “Come, come. here. Highland 10 to 1, Justice 50 to 1, Tippecanoe 1 to.1.’ I did not like the way things were going and more than once 1 stuffed my $100 bills into my pocket book and started to leave. But again the spir- itualist encountered me. “Put your money up,’ said he. “This is our race sure. The distance is a mile and a half, ond when the rain comes down there will be rothing in it but aiighland. She loves rain showers and mud.” luctantly I wagered my $200 against $2,000 and went out into the pad- dock, scanning the sky for signs of rain. ‘True, there were a few drowsy, ominous clouds, but I could see no promise of a deluge. The bell rang. Horrors! Only ten minutes before the horses would be at the post. I would have sold my ¥2,00 ticket for $100. I looked Highland ““"She has an outside chance, mister,’ said the jockey. ‘Guess, the’, a muddy bit of goin’ would bring her in.” The bugle sounded. Misery! I would have sold my ticket for car fare home. The gay colors flashed by me on their way to the post, end almost in a daze I followed the rail birds to the inclosure. ‘Line up, you boys, and get off before that rain comes,’ cried the starter. His words were music to me. Rain. Did he say rain? For an answer a big drop splashed into my face. Another followed, striking my shirt front, and then the buck- ets of the skies seemed to be overturned. ‘They are off,’ cried a boy, but I was scrambling for shelter. ‘At ‘the quarter Buckner first by three lengths, Justice sec- ond by four lengths, Tippecanoe third. Same at the haif. Highland last.’ But I had confidence in the rain and the mud mare. “Look at Highland go up,’ was the cry, and then it was all over. I cashed in %,000 and another friend carried a $1,100 roll. Of course my spiritualistie friend took all the credit, but I knew all the time it would rain.” Col. Hughes Convicted. A New York Times special from Topeka says: The verdict of the court martixl wLich tried Col. Hughes is now in the hands of Gov.Lewelling and it is “guilty as charged.” Punishment was fixed at thirty days in jail and $200 fine. Gov. Lewelling is-in southern Kansas, and will not make public the find- ings until next week. The belief that Hughes will be ordered to jail has greatly excited the republicans over the state and they declare there is not a bastile in Kansas strong enough to hold him. ‘Towerman Knott Held to Blame on@ Committed to Jail. ‘The inquest on the Long Island railroad collision at Berlin on Saturday night jast was concluded yesterday.
