In Circuit Court, Division 2, today before Justice Cox the disaster occasioned No- vember 23, 1891, by the falling of the wall of Metzerott Hall, on 12th street near F, was recalled when the case of Ida White, one of the victims, against F. B. Metzerott, Henrietta Metzerott, W. S. Plager, A. J. Goode, F. R. Fava and M. A. Noeff for $25,- 000 damages (the owners, contractors and architects) was calied. For Miss White Messrs. Worthington and Heald, Garnett and Tobriner appear and for the defendants Messrs. H. E. Davis, Job Barnard, Birney, French and Okie appear. The plaintiff, the daughter of Mr. White, who was killed at the time, testified that she was in her father’s shop and was caught in the debris; that in consequence of her injuries she was confined to her room from that time to the February following, and recetved internal Injuries as well as injuries to her hips, ren- dering it exceedingly difficult for her to walk, and she is able to walk only about one square at a time. Much of the testimony today was as to the character of the work and to the wall being run up the full height of the 50 ft. story before the front wall was run up and was braced with pine timber and to the allegation that the workmen were directed to run up the wall by the Metzerotts. ES HAD NO ACCOUNT. An Aged Gentleman Gives Washing- tom References Without Authority. Last Friday “Gen. E. C. Williams,” a well-dressed old man, was arrested at Al- bany, N. Y., charged with swindling the Bank of the Republic of New York city out of $650. During the early part of the present month the old man, seemingly be- tween sixty-five or seventy years of age, and of a refined and prepossessing appear- ance, called at the Bank of the Republic, introducing himself as Gen. E. C. Williams of this city to Cashier Keyser, stating that he proposed to make New York his home and that he wished to open an account with the bank, presenting a draft for $13,750 drawn by him on the Bank of Wash- ington of this city. He explained, when asked for references, that he was a compar- ative stranger In New York, but gave the names of a number of prominent men here with whom, he stated, he was intimately acquainted. | His explanation sufficed, the account was opened anc drew $650. Then he disappeared the’ on York bank meantime being informed that jogo Figen gos ge ple issued the rai io suc E. C. Williams. Gite eae The New York authorities sent out an alarm throughout the country, but the first heard of the man was word from Albuny that he had been arrested there. He was found at the Hotel Kemon, where he had registered two weeks ago with his wife as Dr. Williams. He was carried to New York, where he will be given a hearing. —_—___ Range of the Thermometer.

DANNEMORA, N. Y., Oct 23.—At 11:50 o’clock this morning Martin Foy was elec- trocuted for the murder of Henrietta Wil- son, his mistress, in Saratoga. Foy slept well Jast night in Clinton prison and ate rather heartily after his early rising. As his execution was set definitely for today, ‘Warden Thayer read the death warrant to him on Saturday, The condemned man, who was twenty-six years of age last month, was visited this morning by his brother, who is two years older, and his father. They remained with him for an hour, All three broke down at the meeting and all wept. The father, however, soon recovered himself and before leaving suc- ceeded in composing his son to approach the death chair with nerve. ee NO ONE BADLY HURT. Sleeping Car Ditched on the B. and 0., but No Deaths Resulted. PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 23—The Baltimore and Ohio vestibule train which left Chicago at 5 o'clock last evening ran into un open switch at Callery junction, on the Pitts- burg and Western division of the Balti- more and Ohio railway, twenty-five miles west of Pittsburg at 7:30 o'clock this morn- ing. The engine and four sleeping cars were derailed. One of the sleeping cars went over an embankment. Although many of the passengers jumped from the doors and windows of the train not one was seriously injured. A wreck crew was sent out from Allegheny to re- Place the train on the track. The train will arrive in Pittsburg about noon. —.___ NAVAL ENGAGEMENT EXPECTED. The Republica Reaches Montevideo d May Fight the Tiradentes. NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—The Herald's Mon- tevedeo correspondent cables: Admiral Mel- lo has ordered the Republica to sail from Santos to Montevedeo and she arrived yes- terday. The cruiser and all on board were quarantined and will be kept there for two days. It is believed here that her object is to attack the Tiradentes as soon as the latter leaves the dock. When news of the profession of allegi- ance to Peixoto of the officers and crew of the Tiradentes reached Mello he ordered the Republica to Montevedeo to prevent the Tiradentes reaching Rio. The machinery, which had been removed from the Tira- dentes so as to render her useless in case the insurgents captured her while in dock here, has been replaced and she is ready to sail. ee FREEZING IN THE NORTHWEST. iter in the Dakotas nd Monta: ST.

Joseph Choate’s Emphatic but Re- specttal Way of Securing Attention, Judge Ven Brunt of New York has a habit which sorely distresses members of the bar who appear before him, particularly young men, of talking to his associates on the bench while the lawyers are delivering their speeches. At times this becomes ex- asperating, but, according to the Tribune, the lawyers have not as a rule the temerity to complain, for they recognize the power of the court, and Judge Van Brunt, with all his estimable qualities, has a manner caus- ing him to be held in dread by most prac- titioners, who naturally seek to maintain as pleasant relations as possible with the court. Mr. Choate was about to make the closing speech in a highly important case recently. Forty minutes had been allotted him for the purpose. He had scarcely utter- ed a dozen words when Judge Van Brunt wheeled around in his chair and began a discussion with Judge Andrews. Mr. Choate ceased speaking immediately, folded his arms and gazed steadily at the judges, his handsome face a trifle paler than usual. A hush fell upon the courtroom. Judge Van Brunt, noticing the stillness, turned around and looked inquiringly at the silent adyo- cate. “Your honor,” said Mr. Choate, “I have just forty minutes in which to make my final argument. I shall not only need every second of that time to do it justice, but I shall also need your undivided attention.” “And you shall have it,” promptly re- sponded the judge, at the same time ac- knowledging the justice of the rebuke by a faint flush on his cheeks. It was an exhibi- tion of genuine courage, but one that was more fully appreciated by members of the profession than by the laymen who wit- nessed it. —————+ e+. TALKING WITH MONKEYS, An Old Frenchman Knew How to En- age the Animals in Conversation, In 1857 Jules Richard had occasion to visit a sick friend in a hospital, where he made the acquaintance of an old official of the institution from the south of France, who was exceeding fond of animals, his love of them being equaled only by his hatred of priests, writes Prof. E. Evans in the Popu- lar Science Monthly. He claimed also to be perfectly familiar with the languages of cats and dogs and to speak the language of apes even better than the apes themselves. Jules Richard received this statement with an incredulous smile, whereupon the old man, whose pride was evidently touched by such skepticism, invited him to come the next morning to the zoological garden. “I met him at the appointed time and place,” says Mr. Richard, “and we went together to the monkey's cage, where he leaned to the outer railing and began to utter a succession of guttural sounds, which alphabetical signs are scarcely ade- quate to represent—‘Kirruuu, kirrikiu, kiri- Kiu'—repeated with slight variations and differences of accentuation. In a few min- utes the whole company of monkeys, a dozen in number, assembled and sat in rows before him with their hands crossed in their laps or resting on their knees, laughing,gesticulating and answering.” The conversation continued for a full quarter of an hour, to the intense delight of the monkeys, who took a lively part in it. As their interlocutor was about to go away they all became Intensely excited, climb- ing up the balustrade and uttering cries of lamentation; when he finally departed and disappeared more and more from their view, they ran up to the top of the cage, and clinging to the frieze made motions as if they were bidding him good bye. +02 The Grenadiers got their name from their original weapon—the hand grenade. .

One of the first things acquired by a new Benator is the habit of doing things de- Iberately. The next acquisition is the man- ‘nér of calling a page. To the properly con- stituted’ senatorial mind this is a solemn Proceéding. Two, perhaps three, sound, though subdued, handclaps suffice. This is the extreme of senatorial ex- uberance. But the habit grows. An in- stance of how fixed the average Senator becomes to the handclap as a means of at- tracting attention was furnished the other night by Mr. Proctor, who, of all men in public life, takes a leisurely view of things. It was the second night of the famous con- tinuous session, and the Vermont Senator was on his way home, tired and sleepy, in a lth street cable car. As it spun along up Mth street the Senator's head sank lower and lower, and at last he slept. Visions of the Senate chamber were pass- ing through his brain, when the conductor murmured something about “R’iland ave- nue” that barely reached the Senator's ears, Half unconsciously he roused him- self at the familiar syllables, and then, slowly and calmly, ‘The noise of the car served to drown the faint sound, and so the car rolled on to P street before the Senator realized that his feeble effort had been unavailing. So he clapped his hands again, a bit more en- thusiastically than before, only to hear the car rumble ahead without a sign of slack- ing. At length the fact dawned on the sleepy Senator that he was being carried away from home at a rapid rate, and that the usual senatorial method of calling a Page could not stop that car. Then he arose and used that wonderfully deep voice of his, that made him so popular among the singing societies of Rutland many years ago. When the car had stopped and the conductor had apologized for his lack of understanding the senatorial handclap Mr. Proctor found himself standing at the cor- ner of R street, a quarter of a mile from home. It is needless to add that he does hot try to stop cars in that way now. o KNIGHTS IN BLACK. The Organization Holds Its Annual Contention in This City. The visiting delegates to the twentieth an- nual convention of the German Order of Schwarze Ritter (Knights in Black), who arrived here on Saturday evening, were pleasantly entertained until midnight at the convention headquarters, Arion Hall, on Sth street, with a “commers.” With the jovial Teuton that word signifies informat social intercourse, enlivened by music, song, off-hand speeches, long tables garnished with a generous lunch, and not too infre- quent libations carefully sandwiched in before, during and after intermissions. ‘The chairman of the local entertainment committee, Mr. Chas, Gerner, acted as toast- master, and many amusing addresses were made, The sessions of the convention are held with closed doors, and were inaugurated yesterday with preliminaries incidental to such meetings. The reports of the supreme officers showed the order in a very flourish- ing condition, the membership having in- creased nearly 15 per cent in the past year. Supreme Knight Julius Persanowski of Brooklyn presided. Eight members received the highest degrees conferred by the order. ‘The following newly elected supreme officers ‘were installed with great ceremony by Past Supreme Knight Julius Juenemann: E, E. R., Henry Sack of Philadelphia; E. O. R., A. Wiltstedt of Baltimore; E. 0. R., Henry Beckstedt of Washington; 58. R., Louis Mueller of Baltimore; E. 8. W., Julius Althaus of Brooklyn; BE. B. V., Geo. W. Horsky of Washington; EB. T. W., Mich. Koenig of Phiadelphia; secretary to the auditing committee, E. C. Linden of Wash- ington. At night the visitors were royally enter- tained at Mr. Linden's residence, where a full orchestra of twenty instruments un- der his direction, discoursed sweet music while the guests sat around the well-sup- plied tables. Today’s morning session was occupied with the discussion of improvemerits in the features of the life insurance system re- cently added to the objects of the order. During the afternoon session Baltimore ‘was selected as the place for holding the next annua! convention. The complimentary resolutions passed at the close of the convention embodied ac- knowledgments to the loca! organization, the press of this city and the committees in charge of the arrangements for the en- tertainment and amusement of the visitors. Tonight a grand ball will be given in honor of the visitors at National Rifles’ Hall, to which many invitations have been issued. The Arton Singing Society will at- tend in a body, and be escorted there from its hall by the ‘ocal organizations of the knights, headed by a full band. ee THE MEXICAN NDITS. Gen. Wheaton Gives the Particulars of the Operations Against Them. In his annual report, which the War De- partment made public today, Brigadier Gen. Frank Wheaton, commanding the troops in the department of Texas, states that his operations against violations of the neu- trality laws resulted in the conviction of seventy-one Mexican residents of the Unt- ted States at the May term of the court at San Antonio. Nearly all of these were so- called Garza revolutionists. The noted ban- dit’s raid of last December is treated at length by Gen. Wheaton, and he gives some interesting details that are not generally known, “About this time (early in the present year),” he says, “the bandit leaders, realiz- ing the vigorous and determined character of the efforts being made by the troops and marshals, made overtures through third parties ‘looking to the surrender of their followers by betraying them into the hands of the troops, and arranged with Joseph and Washington Shely (whe were employed by Gen, Wheaton), with my approval, to bring as many of their men together as pos- sible at a point agreed upon with the avow- ed purpose of again crossing the river and making a raid. “The experiment failed, owing to quarrels among the bandits themselves. It is said that their leader, Francisco Benavides, had several men put to death for not obeying his orders. “The leaders did not keep their agree- ment.” Benavides and another leader, Prudencio Gonzales, were captured January 21 and the next day Lieut. Dickman captured Ce- cilio Eschevarria after a sharp fight. This man Was considered a most desperate han- dit. Maximo Martinez, another bandit leader, surrendered to’ Sheriff Haynes, Lieut. G. Lowe, eighteenth infantry, with Sheriff Shely, had a sharp fight wi a band.of outlaws and succeeded in killing Eusabio Martinez, alias Margas de Agni: the most desperate of all the bandits. Gen. Wheaton gives a short sketch of Benavides.. He is ignorant and does not speak English. His brutal cruelty was shown in a raid he made on San Yenacto, Tex. Concerning the massacre Gen. Wheaton says: ‘“I regret that under our laws more severe punishment cannot be given the leaders of such an unlawful raid and brutal massacre.” Honorable mention for bravery and de- votion to duty during these troubles is ac- corded Capt. G. F. Chase, cavalry; First Lieut. P, W. West, cavalry; First’ Lieut. . T. Dickman, ‘Second Lieuts. Kirby Walker, J. T. Conrad, G. T. Langhorne and Sergt. F. D. Krarup, third cavalry; Second Lieut.

Democrats Divided Over the Silver Question—Federal Affairs a Source of Discord—The Third Party. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., Oct. 21.—There is no abatement in the warmth of the political talk here, or of what may be termed the divisions among democrats—divisions which promise much danger to that party in the state next year. The three chief causes of trouble are the slowness of the Senate to act on the silver bill; the action of Senator Vance in antagonizing Simmons and Elias, the President's nominees for revenue col- lectors in the two North Carolina districts, and the slowness in making removals of republican office holders and of rewarding democratic workers, The division of sentiment regarding the non-action of the Senate on the silver bill is certainly great, and feeling runs high. Bank people in the cities and towns ex- press themselves as angry at the failure to repeal, and say some very plain things about Senator Vance’s behavior in the mat- ter, as flying in the face of the true busi- ness interests of the country. On the other hand, it is alleged by people who travel much in the rural districts that nine-tenths of the white voters side with Vance in his views, and speak harshly of those who op- pose them. A bank man said today that Vance had gone back on the men who had in past years given him the real support he needed. All this difference, of opinion makes cap- ital for the smaller fry of politicians and for all the populists. The latter are doing all they can to deepen the feeling and widen any breach between democrats. Ail this militates against democratic success rext year. Perhaps no man can be found now who will say that the democrats will not have to do all over again their work of the last campaign, and that, in fact, their task of winning success will not be even harder than it was then, In the last campaign republicans and pop- ubsts, hug they united, could have beaten the wemocrats. An exuminauon of the vote Shows tuis clearly. They did not ten co- alesce. Next year they Wil on slate issues. Phe populists will on imese “al the republicans. The word has already been passed along the iine that republicans ought to show their appreciation of populist work and workers, aud that one way of manifesting this is to take populist news- papers. The circulation of the latter or- gans among republicans is already so large that people not in the secret would not be- lieve the figures. The populist papers are filled with abuse of democrats, and with de- nunciations of President Cleveland and his policy. Of course there are some republi- cans who cannot be made to co-operate with the populists, but relatively the num- ber is small. There is no effort to get pop- ulists and republicans together on national issues. There they cannot agree, but the republicans, who know that they cannov carry the state, frankly say that they would much prefer to see the populists win- ners, their motto being “anything to beat the democrats.” There is never-ending comment on the action of Senator Vance in attempting to defeat the confirmation of Simmons and Elias as collectors. Some time ago a leading newspaper called on the democratic press for comment on this matter. Some of the papers d> not hesitate to speak of Senator Vance as a “traitor to his party.” A paper published in the Piedmont section, in the historic Alamance region, says editorially: “We have not had an opportunity to talk with any of the editors, but, judging from the way they refer to Senator Vance, many | are afraid of him. The press is certainly the exponent of public opinion, and there was never a more opportune time to speak and write than now. We al! have the greatest respect for our Senator, but when he becomes an obstructionist and seeks to wreck the party now in power for the grat- ification of a personal grudge he ceases to become a statesman and leader, and de- serves all the criticism he gets from those who are honest in the same. It's a pretty mess when Zebulon B. Vance, the great North Carolina democrat, gets to work in connection with the baby republican, Thomas Settle, and Marion Butler, the third party apostle, to defeat the confirma- tion of worthy and trusted democrats ap- pointed by a democratic President.” Some democrats say that it really seems that the excess of strength has been a costly gain to the party; that there Is great lack of harmony, and also of confidence in the President. 'Some democratic papers actually abuse the latter as if he were a republican. The organ of the Baptists in the state attacks Mr. Cleveland editorial declares that his nomination was a mistake, and that in future no President should be elected to serve a second term. The Bap- tists are the strongest denomination in the state. Business has improved somewhat, but not to the degree expected. It is openly said that the Senate's delay is the cause of trouble. One result of this is that the sen- timent is growing that the Senators should be elected by the people. The alliance men are spreading their doc- trines, in a much more methodical way tl heretofore. They have divided the state into eight districts and to each have assigned a lecturer, to present their polit- ieal views. Their organs are filled with letters which show that the unrest is even greater than it was even a year ago. It happens that the alliance organs are in all cases populist organs also, just as the alli- ance officials are ardent populists. The two in fact may be termed one and inseparable. As to the last reason for discontent, the slowness in ousting republicans and putting in democrats, there is much talk. Only the district attorney and his assistant in this district are democrats. None of the re- publican postmasters in the largest places are removed to give place to democrats. It 1s said that the republican postmaster here, who is particularly odious in a polit- ical sense, because he has for years been chief supervisor of elections, will in all like- Mhood hold the office until March 7 next. This slowness in making removals is un- questionably injuring the democratic party, end as to the cabinet no member of it is so odious or so much berated as ter General Bissell. It is alleged, and with much force, that there will in all probability be more changes in the personnel of the congressional dele- gation next election than in years. Mr. J. Abner Harrell of this state appears to feel quite confident that he will be ap- pointed public printer of the United States. He has, he declares, the indorsement of over half the Senators and of sixty-seven Representatives, and also thousands of sig- natures to petitions for his appointment. Henry G. Connor has resigned as judge of the superior court for the third district and Gov. Carr appoints as his successor Jacob Battle, Congressman B. H. Bunn’s law partner. —_—_—_ Irish Pat and Crib to Fight. Washington “sports” are enthused over the prospect of a rare and desperate dog fight. Dog fanciers say it promises to be the greatest fight since that in which Irish Pat killed the Dummy dog two and one-half years ago. Irish Pat, the hero of that battle, is to be one of the contest- ants in the coming bout. His opponent will be Crib. Crib is the older dog, but is known to be dead game. He has been literally “‘chawed up,” so a Star reporter was informed, in a dozen pits and has never quit loser. He has an enviable record as a fighter. His son Jack dog in the scratch-and-turn fight with the Philadelphia black and tan Jim dog scratched thirty-two times with two broken legs. Crib will never turn tail nor attempt to fly the pit. Irish Pat has never been knocked, but he has never had the bloody ordeals to test himself as his rival. His greatest victory was over the Dummy. Some people who saw the fight, though, think Pat won by a fluke and that the Dummy was not proper- ly conditioned. The coming fight is to be \scratch and turn, thirty-seven pounds, | give or take a pound and $100 a side, winner to take all and loser to take nothing. Thanksgiving day will probably be selected as the time and Virginia will be chosen as the place. —_—_. He Was Lucky.

Many Cases Reported to the Police and Some Convictions. a Hats a Overcoats in Danger From Sneak Thieves—A Bicycle Stolen Sentenced Today. As the winter weather approaches ae, tivity among those of the light fingered sentry increases, but the police are also active, and many offenders are being brought to justice. At this season of the year when overcoats are in demand the hallway thief never fails to appear, and |this season is no exception to the general rule. The hall sneak has already made himself felt at a number of houses, and he even fails to leave a ticket for the miss- ing garment. The result ts that a number of new coats will have to be purchased, and the clothiers will benefit by the thief's depredation. Saturday night at the house of Dr. Cham- berlain on New Jersey avenue the front door was left unlocked and a sneak thief walked off with an overcoat. Conrad Krebs of No. 401 G street was similarly treated. He left his coat on the hall rack and the door left unlocked. Harry Francis lives at 221 34 street north- west, but a few nights ago he called upon the occupant of 2i4 Ith street. When he came out he was minus his gold watch and cMMAni ‘Thursday David ‘Thompson of 1108 | 22d street was relieved of his watch while | riding in a cable car. Saturday night while Mrs. Jane Coleman was at the K street market a tall colored man snatched her pocketbook and ran of with it. The pocketbook contained about $6 in cash and a gold ring. Among the persons arrested was a young man named Poindexter Hamilton. He is just twenty-one years old and it was charg+ ed that he appropriated a pair of trousers belonging to a colored man named Barnett, ‘There was no proof against him and he was discharged. Bicycle Recovered. Mr. W. X. Stevens purchased an Eagle safety bicycle recently, and Saturday morn- irg, while shopping on F street, he left his wheel on the street. When he came out of one of the stores he was surprised to find that his wheel had disappeared. The police were notified of the theft, as were some of the whee! dealers, and a few hours after the wheel was taken Mr. W. J. Espey of the firm of W. T. Robertson & Co. eae “ey the machine and the young man w! it was taken in custody. Detective Weedon took him to the police station, where he gave his name as John Brahler, He had attempted to sell the wheel before he was ixeeat today his counsel waived an ex- amination and the case was sent to the SGeoree Rodgers ts a bartender and several menths ago he presided over Julius Juene- mann's bar. ‘The latter gave bim full jcharge of the funds, and when George | thought he wanted to go to the world’s fair he made his employer foot the bills. Wi the bartender’s disappearance went $50, after a trip west Rodgers returned to timore. There he was located by Detective Wheeler, who brought him here yesterday. He admitted his guilt to the officers and signified his willingness to make good the shortage. Then he said that he sent the money to his mother in Germany. ‘The prisoner was held in $00 security te await the action of the grand jury. Some Sentences. Some days ago Peter Burke was robbed of $57 and a relative was held for the grand jury on a charge of grand larceny, James Simms, a colored man, said to have re- cetved $30 of the money, was arrested Bat- urday, and yesterday Precinct Detective Barnes recovered $21 of the money where the negro had put it for safe keeping. In a house in Prather’s alley he found % of the money, while in the archway beneath the bed of the old canal across the river he found $16 of the stolen money. “I'm guilty of receiving $30 from Felix Taylor,” was the prisoner's plea. He denied that he knew the money was olen. *twhat do you do for a living?” asked the ake carpets,” he responded. “What do you know of this man?” the court asked the officer. “I think he writes policy.” “I never wrote policy in my life,” added the prisoner. A sentence of two months was imposed.
