TIE-UP THREATENED. Strike on the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern. IN CONFERENCE WITH THE LEADERS. Employes on Other Roads in Sympathy. LATE TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. SWITCHMEN ON A STRIKE. ‘Tying Up the Chesapeake and Ohio Southwestern Yards at Memphis. MEMPHIS, ‘Tenn., Oct. 2—All of the switchmen in the Chesapeake and Ohio Southwestern yards are out today and only one yard engine is being worked. It is in charge of the trainmaster. The coal heav- | ers, wipers and section men in the shops are also out. The switchmen on the Louisville, New Orleans and ‘Texas and Illinois Central have refused to handle Chesapeake and Ohio Southwestern cars and they too have gone out. ‘The switchmen in the Memphis and Chat- tanooga yards, it is understood, will strike today and it is stated by the strikers that they will be joined by the switchmen in service of all the roads centering here be- fore night. This statement is hardly true as to the Louisville and Nashville, as none of them attended the meeting last night. The Ches- apeake and Ohio Southwestern yards are being guarded by policemen and deputy sheriffs. There is no disorder, ‘The switchmen of the Ilinols Central and the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley held a conference with officials at 11 o'clock, but refused to handle Chesapeake, Ohio’ and Southwestern cars, and the strike is still on, » Fort Scott and Guilt switchmen will probably go out tonight. ‘A tie-up now will serjously interfere with the movement of cotton, which is beginning to move in larse quantities. The local federation of railway employes last night adopted a resolution ordering a boycott on all the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern freight and cars. A boycotted Chesapeake, Ohio and South- Western cer was last night turned into the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham yards, and the yard crew refused to handle it. No discharges were made, but they are expected today, as under the interstate law it seems imperative upon the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham people to handle freight offered by the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern. When these discharges are made no doubt there will be a strike on the Kansas City line. ‘The trouple on the Iinois Central and Yazoo and Mississipp! Valley roads has not yet extended beyond Memphis, but as soon ‘as the organizations of the trainmen have time to act it will probably take in the en- tire system, as the men are determined to resist the ‘efforts at reduction of wages, and there seems to have previously been & general understanding among the employes of all the roads.

LONDON, Oct. 2—The Brazilian legation In this clty today furnished to the United Press the following information received in dispatches from the government at Rio Janeiro, bearing date October 1: “rhe insurgent squadron under command of Admiral Mello is still in the bay of Rio Janeiro, with its fighting elements weaken- ed. Many of the members of the crews of the rebel warships are deserting daily. Dur- ing the recent engagements between the land forces and the fleet the shore artillery damaged some of the rebel vessels. Two steamers that attempted to land insurgents at Santos and on the tsland of Santa Cath- arina were repulsed. The land forces are united and loyal to the government. Public opinion is wholly opposed to the insur- gents.” A dispatch received by the Exchange Telegraph Company says that Admiral Mello, who commaads the insurgent Brazil- ian fleet, yesterday reopened fire upon the forts defending the bay of Rio Janeiro. ‘The dispatch adds that the bombardment continued without cessation throughout the day. Provisions in Rio Janeiro are selling at famine prices. Panic among the inhabl- tants again prevails. > HAMBURG’S SANITARY It is Declared to Re Perfect Cholera Only Sporadic, QURANTINE, Oct. 2—In an interview this morning Dr. Nash, who arrived yester- on the steamer Augusta Victoria from Hamburg, states that the sanitary condi- tion of the city of Hamburg is absolutely perfect. He considers the present cases in that clty as sporadic, ang Indicative of no complications. The city ts clean, he says, and with the filtered water supply and good sewerage system no further spread of the disease is possible. The authorities of the city are using all possible precautions to prevent the spread of the disease. — PREPARING CONDITION. the TO RACE. Valkyrie Goex in Docks and Vigilant Takes a Sp NEW YORK, Oct. 2—England’s famous yacht Valkyrie was hauled out today at Hawkins’ docks, in in, to clean her copper bottom, and the Vigilant, hav- ing gone through’ the same process with her Tobin bronze, will take a spin down the bay. ‘The three trial spins which the English yacht has taken to test her new sails nave not added anything to her record for speed, but all experts who witnessed the perform ances agree that she is a very smart boat. In reaching and running before the wind Valkyrie appears to be as quick as any boat ever seen in these waters, but if she can point as well as Vigilant, she has not shown it in her trial. It should be remembered that in “hold- ing on" in a sail in the eye of the wind, Vigilant has with her centerboard 26 feet under water, while Valkyrie has only 16 feet draught. In her working to windward Valkyrie fails off or “sags” to leeward more even than Colonia. ‘Another essential point is the time con- sumed in going about from one tack to an- other, or “coming in stays,” as it is other- wise expressed. A reporter held the watch on Valkyrie several times while she was performing this feat on Friday, and twelve seconds is the best she could do. Vigilant has been known to come about in six seconds, and certainly can beat twelve all hollow at any time. One of the vital questions as yet undecia- ed will be settied by the official measure- ments. This se-vice will be performed on Wednesday by John Hyslop, the offleial measurer of the New York Yacht Club. Valkyrie will be likely to come out of this test with a time allowance of something like a minute. In a close race this, even thirty seconds, may prove fatal to Amer- tean hopes. Visilant was floated early this morning at City Island and was taken in tow for her tria} sai} down the bay. The American boat will carry a larger crew than the Valkyrie. Visilant will probably have fifty men, while Valkyrie will be content with thirty-six. Americans think there ts no ballast Uke live ballast in a yacht race. Range of the Thermometer.

D. ©, MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1893—TEN PAGES, IN WALL STREET. Dullness Marks the State of the Market. ‘Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Oct. 2—Today’s market opened from 1-4 to 3-4 per cent below last week's closing and except for the special- ties was dull and featureless. London was lower also and had some selling orders on this side. ‘The market again shows signs of uneasi- ness, attributable to the still unproved statements concerning silver legislation. Last week’s rumors of early action in this matter have not been revived and the sources without any incentive to stimulate trading or mark up prices. ‘The short interest in the market has been so far reduced as to preclude the possibility of any considerable rise from covering, a8 might have been the case a week ago. Buying orders are scarce, and will be more so, unless investors have the assur- ance that some effort will be made to re- move the recognized cause of the recent depreciation within a reasonable time. ‘The Senate controls the situation and the next movement in prices will come from the conelusion of the long debate on repeal or from a continuation of it and may be up or down, according to which of the above courses is pursued. The new issue of stock by the Louisville and Nashville has been ascribed to a va- riety of the company’s needs and has led to considerable selling both at home and abroad. The annual meeting of the stock- holders will be held on Wednesday, when a report of the company’s condition ‘will be made.

Their Legal Rights Excplained—School ‘Trustees Take the Onth—House-to- House Inspection Other News. All married women in Washington will be interested in the bill sent to Congress today by the Commissioners. It is a sub- | stitute for ouse bill 2873, in relation-to the | Separate estate of married women in the District of Columbia. When the House bill ‘Was sent to the Commissioners it was re- ferred to the attorney for the District, with the request that he report upon the same. Attorney Thomas carefully considered the bill, and in a letter to the Commissioners explained that as the bill would require material amendment he thought it best to | Prepare a substitute embodying some of the features of the bill and the principal fea- | tures of the Maryland code on the subject. | If any change is to be made in the law of the District affecting the rights of married women, Mr. Thomas says, it should be by the substitution of a new and better law | Father than an attempt to patch up a very unsatisfactory old one. The substitute which he has prepared is one, he says, that will meet the approbation generally of the | bench und the var of this District, and road's | therefore one which the Commissioners | earnings for the month of August show a |™#y safely recommend to Congress for | enactment. The bill provides that the property, real | and personal, belonging to any married woman in the District of Columbia at the | time of her marriage, and all property which she may acquire or receive after her marriage, by purchase, gift, grant, devise, | Dequest, descent or in a course of distribu: | tion, shall be protected from the debts of her husband, and not in any way be liable for the payment thereof; provided that no | acquisition of property passing to the wife from the husband after coverture shall be | valid if the same has been made or grant- led to her in prejudice of his subsisting | creditors. fhe property acquired or owned, accord- ing to the provisions of the preceding sec- jtion, by a married woman, she shall hold for her separate use, with power of devis- ing the same as fully as if she were a femme sole; or she may convey the same by a joint deed with her husband; or where the hustand is a lunatic or insane, and has been so found by inquisition, and said find- ing remains unreversed and in force, she may convey the same as fully as if she were a femme sole, by her separate deed, whether the same be absolute or by way of mort- gage; provided, that if she die intestate and jeaving children, her husband shall have a life estate in her property, real and personal, but if she die intestate leaving no children, her husband shall have a life estate in her property, and ber personal property shall vest in him absolutely; any married womun may be sued jointly with her husband in any of the courts of the District of Colum- bia, or before any justice of the peace there- in, ‘on any note, bill of exchange, single bill, bond, contract or agreement which she may execute jointly with her husband, and may employ counsel and defend such’ action or suit separately or jointly with her husband; and judgment recorded in such cases shall be liens on the property of defendants, and may be collected by execution or attach- ment in the same manner as if the defend- ant were not husband and wife; provided, that in all cases where a married woman bas made such a contract or agreement as a femme sole, under section seven of this act, she may be proceeded against as there- in provided. it shell not be necessary for a married wom to have a trustee to secure to her the sole and separate use of her property, but if she desires it, she may make a trustee by deed, her husband joining in the deed, or she may apply to a court of equity and have a trustee appointed; in which ap- pointment the uses and trust for which the trustee holds the property shall be declared. A married woman having no trustee may in her own name sue in a court of law or equity in all cases for the recovery or se- curity or protection of her property, as full as if she were a femme sole. A widow shall be entitled to dower in lands held by equitable title in the hus- band—but such right of dower shall not operate to the prejudice of any claim for the purchase money of such lands or other lien on the same. A tenant by courtesy shall be entitled for life to lands held by equitable ttle, but not to the prejudice of any claim for the pur- chase money of such lands, or other lien on the same. Any married woman who, by her skill, industry or personal labor, shall earn any money, or other property, real, personal or mixed, shall hold the same, and the fruits, increase and profits thereof, to her sole and separate use, with power as femme sole to invest, reinvest, devise, bequeath, sell and dispose of the ‘same; provided, that such money or property all be liable for the payment of any claim or debt incurred by such married woman in and about the bust- ness, occupation or enterprise in which said money or other property shall be earned or invested; and for any such debt said married woman may be sued before any jus- tice of the peace or court of said District (whichever shall have jurisdiction as de- termined by the amount of said debt), as if shewere a femme sole; and any such prop- erty may be taken in execution to satisfy any judgment rendered on such cause of action; provided that the husband of such married woman shall have the right to ap- pear and defend any such suit in her name: and no judgment shall be entered in any such suit against such married woman without . unless by the joint consent in writing of herself and Musband. and prot vided further, that any married woman may sue in any court of law or equity in said District, upon any cause of action in her own name, and without the necessity of a prechein amt, as if she were a femme fe. Any married woman, by herself and in her name, or in the name of any third per- son, with his assent, as her trustee, may in- sure or cause to be insured for her sole use the life of her husband for any definite periad, or for the term of his natural life: and any husband may cause his own life to be insured for the sole use of his wife, and may also assign any policy of insur- ae upon aS life to his wife, for her sole use. and in case of the wife surviving the husband, the sum or net amount of such Insurance becoming due and payable by the terms of the insurance shall be payable to her for her own use, free from the claims of the representatives of her husband or any of his creditors. Any married woman may convey her real or personal property if her husband joins in the conveyance, whether the con- veyance be either absolute or by way of mortgage, and she may execute or acknowl- edge any deed, mortgage or bill of sale or other instrument in the same manner as other grantors or bargainors, without any private examination or other ceremony; and she may, at whatever age she may be, Telinguish her dower tn any real estate y joint deed of herself and husban: her separate deed. —* From and after the passage of this act, in all deeds made to married women of real estate or chattels real, it shall be competent for the grantee or lessee to bind herself and her assigns by any covenant running with or relating to said real estate or chat- tels real, the same as If she were a femme sole. No husband shall be liable in any manner for any debts of his wife contracted, or for any claims or demands against her arising prior to marriage, but she and her property shall remain liable therefor in the same manner as if the marriage had not taken place. Proceedings at law or in equity, accord- ing to the nature of such debts, claims or demands, may be taken against such mar- ried woman, notwithstanding her cover- ture therein, joining her husband therein as a defendant, but no judgment or decree shall pass against the husband or his es- tate, but such judgment or decree shall be passed against the wife only, and it shall operate only upon her estate held by her prior or subsequent to said marriage. That this act shall affect pending suits, All laws and parts of laws inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed. Am Unsafe Street. W. W. Farrar writes to the Commissioners today that the street generally known as 15th street extended 1s unsafe for driving purposes, Accidents to vehicles attempting to pass up or down this street are of frequent occurrence and the occupants of overturned carriages often narrowly escape serious injury. Mr. Farrar suggests that some notice giving warning of the danger attending the use of this street for driving purposes be placed at proper points, so that persons attempting to drive upon this street will do so with a full knowledge of the risk they are running. Single Tax Idea. This morning a committee composed of Messrs. Charles Newburgh, Augustus Kuh- ner and D. J. Biller, representing the Single Tax Club of Washington, laid before the Commissioners a reply to Assessor Trim- ble’s adverse report upon Representative Johnson's single tax bill Old Time Methods of treatin Colds an Coughs were based on the idea of sup- —! pression. We that “feeding a cold” is good doctrine. Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver oil with hypo phosphites, a rich fat-food, cures the most stubborn cough when ordi medi- cines have failed.

The Prospects for His Release Said te Be Not Bright, It is more than probable that John Shea, the South Washington citizen who is now | ®erving a six months’ sentence in the work- house in consequence of a second conviction junder the act of March 3, 18%, of selling | Hquor without a license, will serve out that | Sentence and also be required to serve an additional one of six months unless he con- cludes to pay the fine of $5), which fine formed a part of the sentence. And all this Mr. Shea will in all probability be required to do, notwithstanding his endeavor to secure a release through the medium of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The hearing of Shea’s petition had been heard for two days by Judge Cole, when the judge was called to Maine, Friday morning, by the illness of his father, whose death was an- nounced in Saturday's Star. When the hearing was adjourned Thursday afternoon, Mr. Wm. A. Cook had argued the matter for Shea and Messrs. §. T. Thomas and A. B. Duvall had replied on behalf of the District. It is understood that previous to leav- ing the city Friday Judge Cole notified counsel that he had, after hearing both sides up to that time, concluded to deny the petition, and that he would then, un- less Shea's counsel desired further argu- ment, enter a former denial of the petition for the issuance of the writ of habeas cor- pus. Shea's counsel, @t is sald, asked for the privilege of replying to the arguments of the counsel for the District, and Judge Cole therefore granted their request. Judee Cole is expected to return to the city early this week, when the hearing will be petition, notwithstanding timated Opinion to the contrary, © "SI! Manin SUMMER RECESS ovER. The Courts Will Resume Regular Work Tomorrow Morning. What is known as the summer recess of the District Supreme Court ends today, and tomorrow the court in all of its branches begins the October term. ‘There will be two branches of the cireuit or low side of the court, Judge Bradley pre- siding over Circuit Court No. 1, and Jndge Cox over Circuit Court No. 2. The docket on the law side ef the court will be divided between the two circuit courts, Judge Bradley hearing the even-numbered cases and Judge Cox the odd-numbered ones. Judge Bradiey will also hear cases on the appeal docket of the court. ‘The calendar for the term contains %1 cases,the Pollard- Breckinridge case being number %4. The number of the Pollard-Breckinridge case being an even number, would bring it be- fore Judge Bradley, should it be reached at this term of the court. But as the case Is virtually at the foot of the calendar, 955 cases having precedence over it, its trial at the Octaber term is decidedly improbable, if not really impossible. Indeed, it is not expected to be reached much earlier than two years from now, which in all probabil- ity will bring it before some other judge than Judge Bradley. The appeal docket contains seventy-five cases, coming before the court on appeal from ‘judgments ren- dered by justices of the peace. These cases Will, as usual, be given precedence by Judge Bradley, and tomorrow's assignment will comprise the first ten cases. The cases in the criminal branch of the court will be divided between Judge Me- Comas, who will hold Criminal Court No. 1, and’ Judge Cole, who will preside over Criminal Court No. 2. The criminal cases will be so divided, of course, that Judge Cole will not hear any case with which, as district attorney, he was connected. Such an arrangement would permit him to preside over the trial of Messrs. Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and Sasse should the indict- ments be sustained, but {t is probable that as Judge McComas heard the demurrer filed in the case he will preside at the trial, although it is understood that no such ar- rangement has yet been made. ‘The equity cases will probably be divided between Chief Justice Bingham and Judce Hagner, and one of these judges, proba- bly Judge Hagner, will preside over the Probate Court. ‘The principal business in the Circuit and Criminal Courts tomorrow will be the or- ganization of the juries necessary. In the absence of Judge Cole Judge McComas will not only organize the grand jury and the the jury for Criminal Court No. 1, but also the jury drawn for Criminal Court’ No, 2. CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY. Formal Opening Exercises of the New Year—Archbishop Satolli’s Fotare Residence. ‘The formal opening exercises of the new year at the Catholic University were held today. The students and professors assem- bled this morning in the chapel, where mass was celebrated. They then retired to the hall, where the rector, Bishop Keane, delivered an address upon the work of the new year. It is expected by the end of the month that Archbishop Satolli, who has been making his home at the university since he has been in this country, will remove to the residence of the late Justice Brad- ley, at the northwest corner of 24 and I streets. It {s the intention to purchase this property as soon as the fund which is being raised for this purpose among the Catholics throughout the country is lange enough. After a careful examination of @ large number of pieces of property, both in jand out of the city, the conclusion has deen reached that this residence is the most desirable. In the first place the price, which is $35,000, makes it the cheapest prop- erty, all things considered, that has been offered. ‘The house is spacious, having a frontace | of forty-eight feet and a depth of some one | hundred and fifty feet, but as the lot runs back some one hundred and sixty-five feet |to K street there ts a large back yard. ‘This house is one of a row that is some- what famous in the history of the city. The row was built by Senators Rice, Breckin- ridge and Douglass before the war and was occupied as their homes. The corner houre after being the home of “the little giant” | was also the residence of Mayor Wall and in later years it has been the home the late Justice Bradley. After his death the property was sold at auction and was bought by Mr. Thomas Kirby, who lives tn ‘The Rev. Benjamin Jowett died in London yesterday, He’ will be buried at" Oxford.
