Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—There was nothing in today’s market to attract buyers, and nothing to indicate a desire to sell at the Present low estimate of stock values, A dull, lifeless market without either purpose or character was all that the five hours’ trading produced. London was irregular and did nothing on this side. ‘Traders are still inclined to believe in an early solution of the money question, and are quietly adjusting their accounts so as to be in sympathy with the times. The course of prices is a fair indication of how Seneral the repeal theory has become, and stocks hold well for no other reason, Un- conditional repeal is what 1s expected, and is the only thing that will give immediate stimulus to speculation, but action of any kind is more to be desired than a continu- ation of the present state of anxiety and ————————————————— _SUBURBAN PROPERTY.

Rumors to the effect that the receiver's report of the National Cordage Company would be unfavorable and that a proposi- tion for scaling down the bonds would be submitted led to a sudden curtailment of z 34 per cent from the selling price of that Lackawanna was the most conspicuous figure in the day’s trading and had the field to Itself. Opening at 147, it sold down 1-2 per cent and then advanced uninterrupted- ly to 157, a gain of 10 points from the open- ing. - The sudden change in speculative senti- ment in favor of higher prices and a short interest, estimated at 30,000 shares, are plausible and sufficiently good reasons for the sharp advance. The short interest in this property is said to have been for the account of two or three prominent opera- rs. The strength in Lackawanna, while at- tracting attention from the rest of the list. Served to hold prices steady at slight ad- vances in most cases, The loan committee of the clearing house retired $793,000 certificates today and called $870,000 for Monday. Routine business on the clearing house was: Exchanges, $79,- 133,825; balances, $5,546,969, and the sub-treas- urer’s debit balance, $1,344,267. Indications from all sources point to another favorable bank statement tomorrow. Sterling attracted but little attention, posted rates being practically unchanged at 484 and 486. The Northern Pacific's report of earnings for last month show a decrease of $811,319. These figures include the operating of the Wisconsin Central to September 26, at which time the road was permitted to retire from the control of the Northern Pacific company by the authority of the court. Missouri, Kansas and Texas for the fourth week last month reports an increase in earnings of $10,857. The industrials were strong, but not es- Pecially active. In the regular list Jersey Central scored a gain of? 1-2 per cent to lil, Delaware and Hudson advanced 13-4 to 1221-4 and Missouri Pacific gained 1 per cent to 2. In the last hour prices shaded off some and a cessation of buying in Lackawanna dropped the price of that stock back to 1511-2, from which price it again started upward for a total of 2 per cent to 1641-2. ‘The closing was dull, with prices but frac- mg od removed from the best figures of the day.

Miss Burson of Alexandria, Who is Suing Banker Gage, Charged, With ational Details—The Plaintiff's Home—World’s Fair Episod: The news of the legal fight that ts on between Miss Annie L. Burson of Alexan- ria and Mr. James P. Gage, the prominent Chicago banker, has attracted more than @ little attention in this city, where the young lady is quite well known. Up to last December she was a clerk in the cen- sus office, but lost her position when there was a large reduction in the size of the office force. The first charge against Gage, who is the president of the Clinton National Bank of Clinton, Iowa, was of a criminal character and charged assault and abduction. On this charge he was held under $1,200 ball on an indictment by the grand jury. The first case has been supplemented since the re- turn of the family to this city by a civil action asking for $100,000 damages for al- leged breach of promise. The latter ac- tion was begun on Tuesday by Miss Bur- son's Chicago lawyers. Miss Burson and her parents recently returned to Alexandria and are now at their old home in that city. Mr. Burson is of an old Virginia family, and for a number of years past they have lived in a large old mansion in a particu- larly quiet section of the town. They are not very well known in Alexandria and have apparently cared to make few friends. Since their trouble in Chicago, Miss Burson has been quite unwell and has avoided pub- lclty as far as possible. Prior to the trip to the fair she had been ill and since her return she has kept pretty close to her home. ‘This morning a Star reporter went down to Alexandria to see Miss Burson and ob- tain from her, if possible, her side of this oft-told story.’ The Burson house is one of the largest of the very old mansions of the town and from an architectural standpoint 1s very interesting. It is a double house, with a big square hall and a conservatory leading off from the wide, old-fashioned drawing room. An old fron’ knocker hangs upon the door and altogether the place is an interesting relic of the times before the war, when such houses were the scenes of royal hospitality. Miss Burson herself is quite young and a very attractive person. She declined, how- ever, to say anything directly bearing upon the case. This, Mrs. Burson said, was at the advice of her attorneys, and any points about the case could be obtained from her Washington lawyer, Mr. L. Guthrie, who ‘was also a personal friend of the family and to whom all inquirers were referred. Mrs. Burson was asked what sort of an appear- ing man 1s this Mr. Gage, who is now the defendant in a suit for breach of promise. “He seemed to us a most agreeable and attractive young man,” she said. “He was wealthy and had traveled widely and we thought at first that he was in every way @ most desirable acquaintance. We were greatly deceived in this and he is just the sort of person who could impose on any one he wished. We had not known him very long when this trouble occurred that has brought upon us all such unpleasant notoriety. It is the first time we have ever become prominent atd it is naturally very disagreeable to us all. The statement that Mr. Gage was introduced to us by Mr. Bennett, who is now one of our law- yers in Chicago, is a mistake. He was introduced by a ‘son of the owner of the hotel where we were stopping in Chicago. vhat are ycur plans for the future?” hat will depend ‘entirely on the course the case takes and the date of its coming up for trial. I do not know when that will be. In the meantime we shall remain here as this is our home. We were in the west on a visit to Mr. Burson’s mother and stopped in Chicago on our way home.” “Have you sufficient evidence to make out a case of breach of promise?” “I really do not know about that. You see the suit for damages was instituted af- ter we left Chicago and I do not know what plan they expect to pursue.” According to the version of the affair given by Mr. Guthrie, Gage had been with the Bursons almost every day for ten days after they were introduced, before the night when they went to the theater together and when he made an unsuccessful attempt to lead the girl astray, as she alleges. After the performance they stopped at a hotel for supper and here it was that Gage is accused of drugging the glass from which Miss Burson was to drink. According to the story the dose was too strong, and she fell asleep at the table. She was taken in charge by the proprietor of the hotel, and put to bed by the house- keeper, while Gage became frightened and left the house. The next morning he re- turned, and said that he had sent word to Mrs. Burson that her daughter was ill, but this was not so. a LUKE BLACKBURN. She Says Col. Breckinridge Told Her He Was to Marry Miss Pollard. A special dispatch from Louisville, Ky., to the New York World contains an inter- view with Mrs. Luke P, Blackburn in regard to the introduction to her of Miss Pollard by Representative Breckinridge. In it Mrs. Blackburn says: “Col. Breckinridge called on me in Wash- ington accompanied by Miss Pollard. I had met Miss Pollard before casually, as she associated with many of the first people in Washington, but I had but slight acquain- tance with her. Col. Breckinridge spoke confidentially. Said he: “I have brought this lady with me, Mrs. Blackburn, to request that you will take en interest in her and give her your counte- nance and protection. She is to be my wite as soon as it may be proper for me to marry her. She is a young lady highly gifted and accomplished both in Mterature and music; not pretty, but refined and cultivated. I wish you to be her friend and to show her special consideration for the reason I have given you.” ‘he colonel called again and said to me: ‘You seemed surprised when I told you I was engaged to marry Miss Pollard so soon after the death of my wife.’ “Yes, I was surprised,’ I sald, ‘and I think, colonel, that you make a very poor return for the unswerving and tender devo- tion which your dead wife always showed to, you.’ “That ts true,’ he replied, ‘but let me tell you what I have told no human being. I discovered that Miss Pollard had an affec- tion for me, and as a gentleman I felt honor-bound ‘to accept and return it.” “Then, Colonel,’ said I, ‘you have a high and peculiar sense of honor. I am a wo- man, and perhaps view the matter from a more sentimental standpoint than men do. But I thought it strange you should become engaged within a few months after you had buried your wife.’ “He protested that he had become engag- ed only under the circumstances stated and would be married as soon as he could do so without outraging the feelings of his daughters. He called several times after- wards, and I finally told him that 1 was very sorry he had thought proper to con- fide in me and that I wished he had select- ed some other confidante. He apologized, however, and begged me to take Miss Poll- ard with me to a summer resort in Virginia where I expected to go. “Miss Pollard did not accompany us, but joined us later, and I treated her with civil- ity and even kindness. She was very at- tractive. She read books and we conversed about them. She not only talked well on literary subjects, but she was very prolific of new Ideas, “Did you at any time discover any impro- priety in her conduct and break off rela- tions with her before the publication of the scandal?” was asked. “Not the slightest impropriety did I ever discover in her actions or her words. The publication astounded me. I had no dream of anything wrong.” “Have you seen Col. Breckinridge since the publication?” “T have not seen or heard from either of them. But Col. Breckinridge cannot truth- fully deny the statement I have madé, nor do I believe he will deny it. My bellef is that he intended to marry Miss Pollard when he told me so. I talked with my si ter, Mrs. Zane, on the subject and Miss Poilard talked with her. All of us regarded the engagement as a fixed fact and ex- pected the marriage to take place. For- tunately I did not take Miss Pollard to the houses of my friends in Washington.” It is understood that Col. Breckinridge will not deny any statement of Mrs. Black- burn even on the witness stand, but will take the ground that she is mistaken and that she confused the expressions of Miss Pollard with his own. “He cannot do that,” sald Mrs. Black- burn while talking further on the subject. “Tt was his language, not hers. He told me the same thing on several different occa- sions, and I learn that he avowed his gagement in the presence of other per- THE BOTTLE SMASHER. Rev. John James’ Mental Condition to Be Examined. His Wife and Two Friends Call at the Police Court—Wish Him to Re- turn to Virginia. Rev. John T. James, the Methodist min- ister and “whisky destroyer” from Virginia, who caused so much damage to the saloon and liquor store of Charles Kraemer on 7th street yesterday, as published in yes- terday’s Star, was sent down to the work- house in the prison van, and when he reached the corridor where the keeper has his desk he stood in line and waited his turn. When his commitment was reached and his name called he responded as did the other prisoners and was willing to go through the regular prison routine, but when the keeper discovered on the commit- ment “examine mentally” he told the par- son to step aside. When the drunks and disorderiies and vagrants had been marched to the wash room the distinguished prisoner was cared for. He was not required to put on the prison uniform, but was given a comfort- able cell on the second floor in the south- west corner of the building, the cell lately occupied by Joseph Gantz, the crank who caused a scare at the White House only a few days ago. ae aS jupper was served ant parso1 left to go to sleep as soon as he desired after nightfall for there was nothing else for him to do as there are no gaslights in the cell to furnish light to enable him to rea or papers. ‘This morning a Star reporter visited the Prisoner in his cell and had a pleasant con- versation with him. It was learned that he had refused break- fast this morning, but not because of his alleged insanity. He explained to the re- porter who called that he always fasted on Fridays according to the ancient custom. “I only eat a light supper on Fridays, he said, “and in addition to its being a spiritual benefit, it benefits me physically. ‘When asked how he felt after being in confinement over night, he answered, “I was so happy all night that I could hardly sleep, and I feel as well this morning as I ever did in my life. “I have been a strong temperance man for seventeen years,” he said. “There are lots of other good things in this world, but that seems to be laid on mind. If a few thousand good people of this country would rise up and follow in what I am doing this whisky traiMc would be wiped off the face of the earth. ‘My happiness is the result of a sense of having obeyed God. I hate to smash what other people call property, but I had to do it, in obedience to God's command. If I can get an opportunity to do so I can prove that this hell stuff is not property. It ma¥ be said that the glass is property, but even that is only a face and shelter of the in- iquity.”” The prisoner, as printed in yesterday's Star, said he had lived in Snickersville, Lou- doun county, Va. During the war he served as first lieutenant in Pickett’s Alvision. Two days before the battle of Gettysburg,he said, he received an attack of sunstroke and was sent to the hospital. “That,” he said, “was an act of Provi- dence.” He that his brother, Rev. C.F.James, D.D., is president of the Baptist Female College at Danville. To Re Examined. Mrs. James, wife of the incarcerated tem- Perance worker, and two local ministers called upon Judge Kimball at the Police Court this morning to inquire what course to pursue in the matter. Mrs. James was anxious to secure the release of her hus- band. Her conversation showed that she fully realizes her husband's condition, and she said she was desirous of returning with him to their former home in Loudoun coun- ty, Va. Sanitary Officer Frank was sent for, but he could do nothing in the case this morn- ing, and if the prisoner is found to be of unsound mind, he will do what he can to- ward having him returned to Virginia. Dr. Reisinger, resident physician at the Washington Asylum, and Dr. Bovee, the visiting physician, arranged this morning to make an examination of the prisoner at 2 o'clock this afternoon. If the physicians determine that he is of unsound mind the charge will be dismissed. If, on the contrary, their report should be that he ts sane, he will be brought into court and sentenced. a THE COMING CUP RACES. They Will Be Sailed Tomorrow, Mon- day and Tuesday. NEW YORK, Oct. 6—A meeting of the Tegatta committee of the New York Yacht Club was held last night, when it was de- cided to sail the next cup race on Satur day over yesterday's course. ‘The other races were postponed one Gay later. The race originally arranged for Saturday will come off Monday, and Mon- day's race as originally arranged will be sailed on Tuesday next. EE HIS MIND AFFECTED. Physicians Report That on Temper- ance Rev. James is Mentally Wrong. Rev. John James, the temperance enthu- siast who yesterday smashed the window and collection of bottles at Kraemer's sa- loon on 7th street, was examined at the workhouse this afternoon as to his mental condition. The examination was made by the resident and visiting physicians of the institution, who reported to the court that on the subject of temperance the prisoner was of unsound mind. Se DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. ‘Mt. Pleasant Sewers. A delegation representing the residents and property owners of Mt. Pleasant had a hearing before the Commissioners this a: ternoon relative to the urgent need of sew- erage facilities on Howard avenue and Cen- ter street in that subdivision. The dele- gation was composed of Messrs. James Somerville, E. W. Woodruff, H. H. Twom- bley, Thos. N. Exley, F. E. Waring, and G. B. Chittenden. Mr.” Somerville explained that he understood that in the schedule for 1895 there was a provision for the laying of @ sewer in Howard avenue. That was a long time ahead, and the residents did rot think they could wait that long. The sur- face drainage was a menace to health, and the wells were being ruined. He hoped the Commissioners would give the matter their immediate attention. Mr. E. W. Woodruff followed. Mt. Pleas- ant, he said, was one of the oldest sub- divisions in the city, and such improve- ments as the delegation asked should long ago have beer. made. The absence of sew- ers was the cause of considerable of the ickness in that locality. He had heard en estimate of the amount required to lay sewers on Howard avenue, Center, Oak and Meridian streets. It was in the nelghbor- hood of $8,000, and he thought such a small expenditure, which would do so much good, should not be questioned. Ope! = Alleys. Senate bill 971 having for its object the widening and extension of alleys in the Dis- trict of Columbia, was recently sent to the Commissioners for thelr views. Attorncy Thomas examined the bill, and today re- ported to the Commissioners that the bill should be changed into a bill to amend the act of Congress approved July 22, 1892, pro- viding for the opening of alleys in the Dis- trict of Columbia. Mr. Thomas accordingly submitted a substitute for the bil Commissioners sent the same t ‘ongret for introduction. The bill is as follows: “That the act of Congress, approved July 22, 1892, entitled “An act to provide for the opening of alleys in the District of Colum- bia,’ be, and the same is hereby amended, 80 as to authorize the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, under the terms and conditions of said act in regard to the open- ing, extending, widening or straightening of alleys, to open minor streets in said Dis- trict of a width not less than forty feet nor more than sixty feet, to run straight through a square from one principal street to another, whenever in the judgment of said Commissioners the public interests re- quire it.” ‘The New Reform School Building. George R. Herbert has been awarded the contract for furnishing the heating appa- ratus for the new family building at the Reform School at a cost of $1,600. Mr. J. E.

The baby this morning was still in a precarious condition, but the full extent of his injuries has, as yet, not been ascertained. There is a diversity of opinion about the rate at which car No. 9 was going at the time of the accident. Some say that the car was but creeping along while others that it was going ata dangerous rate.

Black, Congressman from Illipois, and Col. Hughes East of South Dakota had a narrow escape from instant death this morning. They were in a closed coupe driving down F street near 10th when the horse, a very spirited animal, be- came frightened, shied off and the driver, also becoming alarmed, jumped from the box. The two gentlemen were left at the mercy of the horse, unable to reach the reins, which had become mixed up with the horse’s legs. This had the effect of more thoroughly frightening the now wild ani- mal, which came down the crowded street at a dangerous rate of speed. It was this very speed, however, that saved the lives of the occupants of the coupe. The horse ran in a pocket of carriages, cutting off the wheels of several and by the very force of the contact broke himself loose from the shafts and, clearing in a leap a vehicle ahead of him, continued down the street, leaving the coupe at a standstill, The two men who had faced death for a few sec- onds emerged from the coupe completely unnerved. They are both cripples and their escape from serious injury or instant death was almost miraculous. a WHOLESALE STEALING. Johm Wise, the Bicycle Thief, Has an y Fature.
