2 [HE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTO LATE NEWS BY WIRE. | . i | Point Made by Democratic Lawyers in New Jersey. | ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE ELECTION Becomes Necessary Through Judge | Depue’s Decision. CAN’T PERSUADE WERTS. TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 10.—The effect of | Judge Depue’s decision yesterday in the | gerrymander case is being variously con- | atrued and many democratic lawyers are | maintaining that it necessitates the holding of another election for members of the legis- lature. If the law under which the election held last Tuesday is unconstitutional they claim the results of that election are nullified and they point to the state constitution and the law as well for the authority that the gover- nor has to order a new election. According to their presentation of the matter, the assembly seats are vacant by Feason of the decision. The Constitution, article four, section four, says: “The House shall direct writs of election for supplying vacancies occasioned by death, resignation, or otherwise, but if vacancies occur dur- ing the recess of the legislature, the writs ™may be issued by the governor under such Fegulations as may be prescribed by law. The law is that when any vacancy shall happen in the representation of any coun- ty im the senate or general assembly if such vacancies happen during the recess of the legislature or after the annual election and not less than fifteen days before the com- mencement of the legislative year it shall be the duty of the governor forthwith to (issue @ writ of election to fill the said va- tancy, unless he shall be of the opinion that the services of a person in the office then vacant will not be required during the legis- lative year or the residue thereof. } Gov. Werts has been communicated with i on the subject, but his views regarding the matter have not been made public yet. It is very doubtful if the politicians will be able to persuade him to take this radical step even though technicalities and the constitution and law make it permissible. In the decision in question it is ex- Pressly ruled that the elections hereafter Shall be conducted by the county instead of by the district system. —_— > — JOHN C. ENO ARRESTED. He is Brought to Book for Alleged Crime: 1ss4. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—United States Dis- trict Attorney Mitchell procured a warrant from Commissioner Shields on Saturday last for John C.

Nov. 10—Argu- | ment was begun in the Iron Hall litigation today. Attorney Harris, the legal talent on which the plaintiffs largely depend, began speaking shortly after 9 a.m., his argu- ment being preceded by a brief and amus- ing cross-examination of ex-Supreme Ac- countant Walker as to the “gvat-riding” work of the order.

Consul General Baise Thinks No In- sult to Americans Was Meant. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—Gen. Jacobo Baise, consul general of Honduras to the United States, said this morning that he had just received a telegram from his gov- ernment in which no mention whatever was made of the alleged firing on the United States steamer Costa Rica,and for that rea- son he believes that there is nothing in the report. “If anything of the scrt had occurred,” said he, “it would have been spoken of. I believe that all there was to it was that @ salute was fired in honor of the American minister, Mr. Baker, who was on board. This is a customary honor paid to all ofti- cers of his standing when they enter or leave our ports. I was talking with Mr. Pacheco, ex-mirister from the United States to Honduras, this morning, and he concurred in my opinion, “it is true that Bonila, the refugee, who was actively engaged in revolution against the government, was a passenger on the Cesta Rica, and the captain of the vessel refused to give him up to the authorities when they made the demand. Still, I do not think the firing was anything more | than a salute to Minister Baker.” Seales nie Branswick Yellow Fever.

Matthews Found a Ma His Room al Trouble Followed. William Matthews, a colored man, who does laboring work, rents a room in a house on N street northwest near fist street, and his room mate is a female. For three years they have lived together as man and wife and last Sunday the woman was instru- mental in haying him arrested. ff to the | police station he was taken and tiere she thought he would remain over nignt. When he did not return at an early hour the woman received a call from a man named Ed. Landon, who did not want to see her remain in the house alone 2nd so he thought he would play the part of « yvod Samari- tan. But Matthews fooled both his female companion and the man who ld called in his absence. A friend jut up collateral for him and at 2 o’clock in the morning he waiked home. A knock on the Geor sur- prised the couple and when Matthews went in his own room there was a# light. There was a loaded pistol in the room and v.hen the men clinched the weapon was discharg- ed. Landon’s finger was injured by the bul- let and he then left the nouse. Policeman King arrested him !n ,vieorgetown at an early hour this mornin, When the case was heard in the Police Court this morning it was impossible for the court ‘to tell who was responsible for the trouble and the court released Landon on nis own recog- nizance, ge About Chrysanthemum Shows. William Clark of the firm of Clark Bros., florists, has returned from a visit to New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, where he visited the chrysanthemum shows. He wag sreatly disappointed at the New York show, while the efforts of the Philadel- phians came up to his expectations. In that city, Mr. Clark says, there are many private green houses where the gardeners have plenty of time to devote to their chrysanthemums, and for that reason the show was much more attractive than it would otherwise have been. The plants, he says, were unusually fine and healthy and the blossoms were as fine as he had ever seen. In Baltimore the show was not so good. The show in this city next week, he says, will be a fine one and while it will not be large as those in the other cities he thinks it will compare favorably with them. Almost every local florist will be represented and a larger attendance than last year is expected. —___ Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to the following: W. E. Holson and Emma J. Marmaduke of West- moreland county, Va.; John W. Marskall and Della E. Smit! S.

Awarded a Five-Pointed Star for Bravery During the War. Seeretary Lamont has directed the issue of a bronze medal of honor to Gen. Henry V. Boynton, the well-known jounralist, for honorable and courageous services at Chick- amauga and Chattanooga. This honor is granted much more sparingly nowadays than formerly, and the five-pointed star is greatly coveted. Gen. Boynton commanded the thirty-fifth Ohio volunteers during these engagements and later at Missionary Ridge, where he was twice wounded. In consequence of his wounds he resigned, and soon afterward received a mission as brevet brigadier general. e medal has come to Gen. Doynton unsolicited and is therefore more valuable. Gen. Absalom Baird, retired, applied to the War Depart- ment for the award to be made. He witnes- ed Gen. Boynton’s achievements at Chicka- mauga and Missionary Ridge, and he wrote a letter to the Secretary giving a graphic account of the events of those engagements in_ which Gen, Boynton figured. Clinton A. Cilley, late captain and in- spector, second brigade, third division, four- teenth army corps, and subsequently as- sistant adjutant general of volunteers, in a communication accompanying the applica- tion of Gen. Baird, also wrote to the same effect. eS eee THIEVES ARB PLENTIFUL. While Some Are Sentenced Others Are at Work. Today’s police records show the arrest of five thieves, and the reports of four more thefts for investigation by the police. Judge Kimball heard the cases of theft and disposed of the offenders according to the particular facts in the case. John Toles, a young colored man, was accused of having robbed his cousin, Edward Toles, of a quantity of wearing apparel. A plea of guilty was entered in the case and John was committed to jail in default of $600 security, to await the action of the grand jury. Two colored boys, Frank Brooks and Rodey Rice, were accused of having taken a bolt of cloth from in front of the store of H. H. Hough on 7th street. Thirty days in jail was the sentence. A lighted lamp was taken from an exca- vation the other night by Wm. Gill. Judge Kimball said that, while the lamp was not of much value, he would take in consideration the nature of the theft. In consideration of the dangerous condition in which Gill left the excavation the court gave him sixty days. David Bailey, accused of the theft of a cheap silver watch, was fined % or fifteen ys. While these prisoners were under arrest others were making business for the police. Philip Partello of uss Q street was th heaviest loser. He had his bicycle stolen at the Zoo. yesterday. An overcoat and umbrella were taken by @ sneak thief from the hail at the residence of Mr. J. D. Newton, No. 811 K street north- west, last evening. Nellie Larue of 18th street complains of the theft of two bed spreads from the clothes line, and Isabella Rieks of 9th street reports the theft of some old carpet. ‘The police of the second precinct have a handsome dress suit, almost new, that is held for identification. The suit is valued at $70, and Sam Jackson, a colored boy, was trying to dispose of it for $3 last night. He is held on suspicion. —_.—__ AMERICAN POWDER, Of the Smokeless Variety, Wanted by u Army. All work on the old Springfield rifies at the army arsenals has been stopped, and every effort is being made to complete as rapidly as possible the new small caliber magazine rifle to replace the old pattern in the army. It is now expected that tne plant will be in shape to turn out the new arm within a month or two. Meanwhile the ordnance bureau has turned its atten- tion to the procurement of powder for the new rifle. This mi be of the smokeless variety, and it is desired if possible to se- cure its manufacture in this country. To that end the bureau has invited proposals for supplying 10,000 pounds of the powder, with the stipulation that preference will po given to powders of American manufac- ure. LICENSES GRANTED.

NOVEMBER 10. 18983—TWELVE PAGES. FINANCE AND TRADE. | Dullness Again Settles Downon Wall Street, BEARS AGAIN HAVE THEIR INNING. Rumors of a Rival Cause Selling of Chicago Gas. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. Special Dispatch to The Evening Stat. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—Duliness has again settled down upon speculation, and prices are made to conform to the caprices of professional operators. Opening figures were 1-4 to 1 1-2 per cent below last night’s closing, and were but lit- tle bengfited by subsequent transactions. London was dull and lower and sold a few stocks on this side, principally St. Paul and Atchison. Encouraged by yesterday’s success the bear party were particularly aggressive in their attack on the weak spots, and met with little resistance from the other side. The dullness, however, retarded their prog- ress somewhat because of the small addi- tion to the floating supply of stock for bor- rowing purposes. The bulls are extremely weak-kneed and retreat without any at- tempt at defense. Under this condition of things the present restricted dealings will continue until the selling movement reacts upon itself and precipitates a covering movement. Rumors of a rival in the manufacture of gas for the city of Chicago has encouraged liberal selling of the present company's certificates, but the price was well sus- tained in the neighborhood of 60 1-2 on a considerable volume of business. Atchison’s affairs are the subject of much unfavorable comment and rumors of a re- ceivership are in circulation, The attack on the stock that was predicted before the opening did not materialize and the price remained almost stationary around 18 1-2. New York and New England was weak on the report that the New York, New Haven and Hartford Company would pre- vent them gaining a terminal in this city. The price of the stock quickly dropped off 21-4 per cent as the result of a general selling movement prompted by this intelli- genee.
