Said one lady yesterday:—“It is a pleasure to shop here, because you have no old stock to annoy one with”......Said another:—“I have been all over town, and you certainly have the best garments and ask the most reasonable prices." Reasonable prices are now made unreasonable—unreasonably low. The “Holiday Opening” ts so near that fancy goods demand room from other depart- mgnts, thus the following reduced prices, in order to clear a big corner in the Wrap Department: 9S for the $4 Blue and Black Cheviot Jackets, in all sizes. $4.98 for the $6 Navy and Black Diagonal Jackets, in all sizes. $5.08 for the $7.50 Cheviot Jackets, with umbrella skirt and Worth col $6.98 for the $9 Tailor-made Beaver Jacket, in English tan, navy and biaek. . $0.98 for the $12.50 Tight-fitting English Beaver Jackets, 36 inches long, seal trimming. » for the $15 Tight-fitting Jackets, handsomely braided, electric for the $15 Imitation Sealgsin Jackets, finished exactly as are the much more expensive garments.

BLOUNT UNRELIABLE, jony of a Democratic Newspaper ‘The San Francisco Examiner, the leading democratic paper of the Pacific coast, says of Blount’s report: “We do not believe Mr. Blount to be quite a safe foundation on which to rest so heavy a policy as that which the adminis- tration seems to be building on him. From all accounts he has no judicial qualifica- tions. His report itself shows a little too much anxiety to make out’a case. It rep- resents him as continually trying to extract damaging admissions from the friends of the provisional government, in the manner of a lawyer attempting to trip up a hostile wit- ness, In this laudable effort he seems to have proved too much. He has shown to his own satisfaction that the revolution was started without any apparent justifica- tion by a dozen conspirators, trembling for their own safety, and who had to be con- tinually prodded into action by the Amer- ican minister. Mr. Stevens is pictured as recognizing the new government before it had any existence, and forcing it on the terrified people at the muzzles of the Bos- ton’s Gatling guns. That is not the way in which the situation appeared to persons who were on the spot at the time, which Mr. Blount was not. The Examiner cor- respondent in Honolulu, watching the revo- lution from hour to hour, and describing what he saw as he saw it, told of the pop- ular turmoil that followed the queen's at- tempt to establish a lottery and overthrow the constitution. A mass meeting of white citizens was called, and of this the cor- respondent said: ““The white meeting was attended by about 1,200 reputable people and strong language was used in denouncing the action of the queen. A resolution authorizing the committee to take action and provide means for obtaining a stable government was adopted on a standing vote.’ “The representatives of foreign govern- ments other than our own opposed the land- ing of Ame-cican troops. If therefore the | creation of the provisional government had depended upon that intervention alone one would naturally think that they would have been slow to recognize the new order of things. But the Examiner's contemporary account of the proceedings said: “The foreign representatives acknowl- edged the provisional government almost | immediately, with the exception of Stevens, who held back until he learned that Mar- shal Wilson declined to surrender until he was officially notified of his acknowledg- ment.’ “Why should the foreign ministers have been so prempt to recognize the work of a few conspirators, unsupported by public sentiment? And does not the guilt of the revolution, if there was any guilt about it, rest upon them as well as upon us?” ———_+e+_____ SENTENCED TO DEATH. Thomas Crumpton to Be Hanged on the 27th of April. This afternoon in the Criminal Court the sentence of death was imposed on Thomas Crumpton for the murder of David Shank- lin on June 11 last in South Washington, the day being fixed for Friday, April 27, 1894, between the hours of 8 and 12 o'clock. Shanklin was convicted on the 15th instant. It appeared that after the parties had had a fight on Sunday morning he armed himself with a pistol, subsequently came back to the house on Delaware avenue and shot Shanklin. His counsel, Messrs, French & French, made a motion for a new trial, which was argued today, and the court overruled it and imposed the _ sentence. Crumpton, when asked if he had anything to say, with the greatest composure re- marked: “I am not guilty of murder; all I did was in self-defense.” The sentence was then nounced, and when the court added the words, “May God have mercy upon your soul,” the audience was more than usually ulet. “Exceptions having been taken the case will go to the Court of Appeals. > Count De Haussenville denies the story published yesterday morning in the London Times to the effect that the betrothal of Princess Helene of Orleans, daughter of the solemnly an- Count of Paris, and the Czarewitch may be expected at any tim | Will require more than will be obtained to AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. The Washington and Arlington Road Will Probably Be.Sold. m of Time Wanted — Sales of Real Estate—Boats Arriving and «—Other News. Depart “What will be done with the Washington and Arlington railroad now that the courts have given you the powers of a receiver over both that part lying in Virginia and its electrical plant and property in George- town?” asked The Star last night of Mr. Archibald Greenlees. “It will in all probability be sold at an early date,” was the reply, “several com- panies or representatives of companies be- ing at present engaged in trying to enter into preliminary negotiations for its pur- chase.” When asked !f the promoters of the pro- posed new Falls Church road were not Prominent among the ones who wanted the Washington and Arlington franchise Mr. Greenlees made no definite answer. It is understood, though, from outside parties that the Falls Church people have been ex- ceedingly anxious to get hold of the almost abandoned road. They have $51,000 already subscribed to the fund necessary to buy or buiid. No figure has been placed on the Washington and Arlington railroad, but all offers will be considered. The receiver thinks it highly improbable that the original subscribers to the stock of the company will ever realize anything, as the bondholders who have a prior claim satisfy it. if the District end of the road, which is to go through Georgetown and to the Penn- sylvania depot by way of Virginia avenue, is not constructed by next spring the char- ter will be forfeited. This, of course, will detract from the selling price of the road if the time is not extended. A bill asking for the extension was read before Con- gress last year and referred to the Commis- sioners. If it passes the value of the fran- chise, of course, becomes greater and the chances for its early sale correspondingly 80. The Washington and Arlington has never paid and probably never will until it is extended into the District of Columbia. All those who put money into it have lost. Property Sold. Three pieces of Georgetown property changed hands yesterday, the sales aggre- gating $10,000. Fred. W. Pratt and John Joy Edson transferred to C. C.

Seventeen hundred tons of coal brought! down from Cumberland by way of the) Chesapeake and Ohio canal were carried north yesterday by the schooner Edward | R. Hunt.

It was found necessary to bring out the ice break- er in order to free a caught canal boat. ———— ADMIRAL STANTON’S RECALL, 2, It Created Surprise at Rio, a Sailor on the Charleston Says. ‘The steamer Maskelyne, which reached New York yesterday, left Rio Janeiro on | | the 5th of November, and brought as one of her passengers James Letford, a sailor | of the United States steamer Charleston, which was anchored in the harbor when | Admiral Stanton dipped his flag to Mello! and received the Brazilian revolutionist aboard his ship. The Charleston, he said, was in the har- bor of Rio when’ Admiral Stanton commit- | ted the breach of national etiquette for which he has been recalled. According to | the man-of-war’s man, there was no other boat in the river which flew a Brazilian flag that did not belong to or was under the command of Mello. No comment was created there, he says, as other foreign war- | ships had done the same thing, and Admiral | Stanton’s recall occasioned the greatest surprise in the Brazilian city, and to the commanders and men on other vessels sta- tioned there. Capt. Barclay of the Indian Prince, who arrived at New York from Rio Sunday, was asked about the Stanton affair. He said he was in Rio harbor when Admiral Stanton arrived. According to his story, the American admiral ran up the Brazilian | flag to the peak, and receiving no responses cither from the shore or the insurgent cruis- er, he ran up the French flag and saluted the French admiral, the salute being re- turned. By that time the government forts and a government guard boat acknowledged the American admiral’s arrival, and the Newark belched back the compliment. Capt. Barclay did not think Admiral Stanton had saluted Mello. It was true, he thought,that Mello visited the admiral, as he had visited the warships of the other nations. In fact, a dinner was given on the French flagship at which Mello and the chief commanders of all the foreign vessels were present. Bought a Ho: A few days ago Wm.H.Forrest purchased a horse for $3, and this morning he was | charged before Judge Kimball with cruelty in working the horse. Forrest sought to excuse himself on the ground that he knew very little about horses, and did not know that the horse was unfit to work. “A reasonable man, Mr. Forrest,” said the to work. You, however, apparently do not know a good horse from an unfit one; but the horse will cost you two dollars more, as you will have to pay a fine of that amount. Hereafter leave $3 horses alone. They are not profitable investments in this commu- nity.” > Mr. Orrewing, formerly an English mem- court, “should know that a $$ horse fs unfit | aT i} REVOLT AGAINST TAM! Statement Issued by the New York State Democracy. Leaders of the anti-Tammany movement in New York, which has been in process of crystallization for the last three weeks, have issued a statement addressed to the New York democrats. The name of the new organization is the New York State Democracy. The chairman is ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles 8S. Fairchild. The general committee is a thousand strong and includes the best known democrats in New York, including Messrs. Coudert, Hewitt, Ely, Straus, Grace, Salomon, Iselin, Gilder and Jeroldman. The text of the address is as follows: NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 1893. TO ALL DEMOCRATS: Recent events have demonstrated that those who now assume to lead the demo- cratic party in New York and to direct the actions of its state and local conventions have repeatedly and persistently endeavored to misrepresent the real sentiments of the party. In 1892 they very nearly led the party to disaster in the national election. In 18¥3 they have actually brought it to defeat in this state. In 1892, by fraudulent caucuses and dis- honest political methods, they undertook to mislead the democratic national convention as to the real choice of the democrats of this state. This attempt happily failed. The very means adopted to stifle the voice of the peo- ple resulted in affording time to present an organized protest against the attempted misrepresentation, and the national conven- tion, the great court of appeals of the party, was quick to disregard and overrule what had been thus falsely and frauduiently de- clared to be the voice of this great demo- cratic state. Only by means of a great popular uprising against the domination of these unfaithful party leaders was disaster averted and the country saved from a perpetuation of re- publican mistakes and misrule. In 1893 control of the state convention was again secured by unfair and illegal use of the party machinery, and a ticket was pre- | sented to the people containing as its most | prominent candidate one already discredited | with the people, and for whose nomination no better reason was offered than that it Was necessary in order to “vindicate” cer- tain party leaders. No time was given for | organized opposition within the party to this most improper selection, and the party was forced before the people with the candi- | dates selected at the unrepresentative state convention. Under such circumstances our defeat should surprise no one. But it is not alone by their despotic use of self-chosen and self-perpetuating party com- mittees to control caucuses and conventions, in defiance and contempt of the wishes of the majority, that these unfaithful leaders have brought scandal upon the party. They have prostituted the name of democ- racy to the vilest ends. Municipalities have been looted and have | been denied the right of self-government. | Offices have been bestowed upon unworthy | persons as rewards for disreputable political services and as tributes to personal friend- ship. The laws of the state have been violated, | the mandates of its courts defied and com- | mon decency outraged. All these crimes | have been committed in the name of democ- racy by men whose sole claim to power and consideration is that they proclaim the: selves to be democrats. Whatever the democratic party does and is in New York has a great influence upon its fortunes in all parts of the country, for | everything done here is viewed as through @ magnifying glass and is seen and known of all men. Had democracy in New York | always been true to itself and true to its | ideals, we should have attained supremacy in the general government long since and | many states still controlled by republicans | would have declared for democratic princi- ples and intrusted the control of their af- fairs to democrats. For this reason democrats in New York state, and especially democrats in New York city, owe a high duty to their party in the whole country to see to it that those in control of the party organization in this state and city deserve the confidence re- posed in them and that the practices of the party here are wise, honest and respectful of law, of the rights of all citizens and of all democrats, and such as to bring honor everywhere upon the name of democracy. If we democrats in New York neglect this duty we shall not be able to avoid the blame if our country shali not continue to enjoy the inestimable blessings flowing from dem- ocratic principles and policies, both in the nation and in the state. The state of New York is safely democrat- ic, but no party can hope to succeed if the practices of its leaders contrast unfavorably with its declared principles. As democrats we believe that the best interests of our state and nation require the application to our governmental affairs of true democratic principles, administered and enforced by worthy and capable democratic instrument- alities. To insure this result the democratic party in this great democratic state must again be so led as to deserve and win the respect and confidence of the people. We can hope neither to deserve nor win their respect and confidence if we permit to remain uncorrected the which have led to our defeat. It is clear that the democratic party in this state must be radically reorganized and purged of the elements that have under- mined its vitality and threatened its exist- ence and rescued from the dictation of those who have used the party organization for purely personal ends and control once more lodged directly in the people themselves. Upward of a thousand democrats in this city have consented to act upon a general committee to perfect a truly representative { democratic organization. It is proposed at | an early day to call a meeting of this com- mittee, at which time proper measures will be taken to secure thorough and permanent organization in this county, a permanent | headquarters and co-operation of right feel- ing democrats in other parts of the state. All democrats sympathizing with our pur- poses and objects as above set forth are in- vited to send their names and addresses to William F. Hull, secretary protem, post office box 1,421, New York city. Yours very respectfully, CHARLES 8S. FAIRCHILD, Chairman. ——— see A TUTOR ATTEMPTS SUICIDE. One of Harvard's Instructors is Over- come by Hard Work. Harmon W. Haley, who has been a tutor | of Latin at Harvard College the past three years, cut his throat yesterday in his room, 7 Little Block, Harvard Square. He was removed to the Cambridge Hospital, He was a graduate of Amherst College of the class of "SS, and held the degree of Ph. D. from Harvard, conferred in 1891. He is! the son of a Congregational minister now living at Truro, and overwork is said to be | the cause of his present trouble. Three | years ago he returned from Heidelberg, Where he had been perfecting himself in the study of Latin and German, and ever | since he has been a hard student. President Eliot expressed much sorrow on hearing the news, and spoke of Mr. Haley in the highest terms, saying, among | other things, that he was a man of much learning, studious and steady, but physical- ly rather weak. His parents arrived in| Boston during the afternoon and went to the hospital, where they were informed that there was the slightest chance of re- covery. Mr. Haley had just completed a voluminous work on “Charlemagne” at the time of his deed. The manuscript was found on his desk and consisted of 200 pages. He is twenty-eight years old. ———_+e-+____ A POETE: LOCKED UP. The Queer Manin That is Said to Pos- sess Mrs. Dudley of Wisconsin. Mrs. M. V. Dudley, the Wisconsin poetess and authoress, is combating for her liberty in the Wisconsin courts. About a yeur ago, upon the application of her husband, Rev. J. L. Dudley, she was committed to the Milwaukee county insane asylum. A few months later through the efforts of her at- tomneys she obtained her release upon the plea that she was to receive private treat- ment. Mrs. Dudley's alleged mania is said to have included a claim that she had in- fluence over the late James G. Blaine. In Judge Sawyer's court Monday, at Mil- waukee, Attorney Barlow of Philadeiphia said that Mrs. Dudley was in Philadelphia, and that her physicians fo>bade her making the trip at this season of the year. Affi- davits were furnished in support of this statement. Besides, Mr. Barlow said, that Attorney Miller, representing Mr. Dudley, had threatened to put Mrs. Dudley in an asylum if she ever came to Milwaukee. Rev. Mr. Dudley joined in the application to have Mrs. Dudley released, but Judge Sawyer decided that it was necessary for her to appear in court and be examined by physicians and ordered that the trial pro- ceed The greater pa>t of the day was occupied | people, in reading depositions of eastern ber of parliament and one of the largest Ayers in the world, te 36° | sults equal “Almost as Palatableas Milk” This is a fact with regard to Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil.

A Young Lady Has a Narrow Escape From a Brute. Screams of “murder” and “police” in the vicinity of Ist and I streets northwest about 9:30 o'clock Monday night attracted the at- tention of Joseph Hill and J. E. Connelly, who responded and went in pursuit of a negro who had attempted a felonious as- sault on Miss Adeline Quale, who lives in the Deaconess Home, corner of North Cap- itol and Pierce streets. The night was dark and rainy, and Miss Quale, in company with Miss Peterson, a friend, was on her way home from a religious meeting at the Metropolitan Church. They walked north on ist street, turning into I street, going east. There is a gas lamp on the corner, and the light from it brightene4 the side- walk enough to show the pedestrians the puddles of water. Soon after they had turned the corner and started for North Capitol street in the direction of St. Aloy- sius Church Miss Quale heard the footsteps of @ man coming from behind, and before she had time to get out of the way the arms of a negro were around her. The man tripped, and she went to the sidewalk in the water. Miss Quale fell on her facé, and when she raised to look at her assailant she saw him fumbling with her skirts. ‘Then it was that she screamed for assist- ance, and the negro dealt her a stunning blow on her face with his fist. She then got up and the negro started toward her again,but the screams of the women fright- ened him off, and the two men mentioned appeared and went in pursuit of the negro. Jim Sears, a negro resident of McCul- lough street, was the man pursued, and im his flight he threw away his high hat and box coat. He was finally captured in Defrees court, hiding under a cart, and Policemen Mc- Namee and Lynch placed him under arrest. In Judge Milier’s court this morning Miss Quale appeared and told her story of Mon- day night's affair. 3 She said she was not certain of the man's identity, although he looks very much like the man who assaulted her. There were several other witnesses in court to tell of the alleged assault, and the witness Hil] described the pursuit and capture of the prisoner. Judge Miller held Sears for the action of the grand jury, and in default of 3,00 bail he was committed to jail. --- HE TOOK MORPHINE. Capt. Hoffman Quarrels With His Wife and Attempts Suicide. Capt.
