Some months ago he was arrested and sent down, and today he was tried on three cases. Being a plumber, Harry has been in the habit of taking plumbers’ supplies, whether new or second-hand, and he did not mind taking fixtures from houses. He was convicted in three cases today, and then he told judge Miller that he in- tended to leave the city. “But not until you have served thirty days in each of these cases,” said Judge Miller, ‘‘and the next time you are caught at this business I will direct that a charge of second offense be filed, which will send you to the penitentiary.” ns Leroy Harriy Indicted. At Chicago today the grand jury return- ed indictments against Leroy Harris tor passing Noronton Heights money orders on postmasters at Aurora, Ottawa and La- Salle, Il. +e +______ Army Promotions.

The Ute Removal. The Senate committee on Indian affairs today authorized a favorable report upon the bill for the removal of the Southern Ute Indians from Colorado to Utah, in accord- ance with an agreement made with the In- dians. The committee recommends several amendments, one of which provides that ary Indian who may elect to do so can re- main upon the land at present occupied by them, taking land under the Dawes sever- alty act. The committee strikes out the provision of the bill granting the p: of the sales of lands of the present reserva- téon to the Indians. Three-Quarters of a Jury to Bring a Verdict. Mr. Bryan (Neb.) has introduced in the House a bill to amend the Revised Statutes so as to permit, in civil cases the verdict | of three-fourths of the jurors constitut- ing the jury to stand as the verdict of the jury, and such a verdict to have the same force and effect as a unanimous ‘eben ls have favored this change,” said Mr. Bry- an, “for several years, and my attention was called to it anew by a suggestion made by Judge Brewer at the Chicago Union League Club banquet last Thursday. In civil cases there is no reason why the liti- gants should be compelled to fight until one can secure a unanimous verdict. Disa- greements are usually caused by one or two members of the jury and a three- fourths verdict would settle most cases, making a great saving of costs. A majority of a court render a decision even in crimi- nal cases. Why can we not trust three- fourths of a jury in a civil case?” Wants Information. Representative Bingham (Pa.) has intro- duced a resolution in the*House calling for information from the Postmaster General as to the authority under which the work of printing postage stamps was given to the bureau of engraving and printing after bids had been called for and had been re- ceived for performing the work. Confirmations. The Senate in executive session confirmed the following nominations: Walter H. Bunn, to be appraiser of mer- chandise in the district of New York; Emil Rese, to be assistant appraiser of mer- chandise in the district of New York; Geo. S. Weed, to be collector of customs for the district of Champlain, New York; William J. Bulger, to be collector of customs for the district of Oswego, N. Y. To Investigate the Nicaragua Canal Company. A resolution calling for a complete con- gressiona) investigation of the affairs of the Nicaragyan canal, and looking to gov- ernment control, has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Repre- sentative Geary of California, It provides for a special committee of five, to be ap- pointed by the Speaker, to investigate and report as to the conditions, financial and otherwise, of the maritime canal company has \ | corporation chartered by Congress, as to what sums of money have been received by the company, and how they have been ex- pended. The committee, if appointed, 1s to have power to summon persons and papers, and to sit {n New York or Washington dur- ing the sessions of Congress. To Revise Patent Laws. A systematic revising of the laws govern- ing patents and trade-marks kas been un- dertaken by the House committee on pat- ents, under the stimulus of the convention of those interested in trade-marks, held during the world’s fair, and the recent con- vention of the American Association of In- ventors in Washington. Two bills have been introduced in the House—one formulating a revision of the patent laws, presented by Representative Hall of Minnesota at the re- quest of the last named body, and a bill by Representative Robbins of Alabama, cover- ing desired changes in the laws for the reg- istry of trade-marks. An _ international commission to regulate the registry of the business trade-marks is to be held in Brus- sels the coming summer. Mr. Francis Forbes of New York, a member of the United States Trade-mark Association, who took part in the Chicago convention, ad- dressed the committee this morning. He urged that the United States should amend its laws before the meeting in Brussels. Waiting to Secure Tickets to the Stoddard Lectures. Tickets—tickets for good seats and tick- ets for bad ones, tickets for the gallery, tickets for the balcony, tickets for the floor, tickets of any sort, just so they were tickets for the magnetic Stoddard, were the pot of gold which made the Academy of Music the Mecca of an eager crowd through the long hours of last night and most of this morning. Stoddard is a great man to draw a crowd and the rush for seats is never mcre interesting in this city than it is to hear him. At about 9 o’clock last night a policeman pushed a man who said he had been laying round there since yes- terday into the door and made him the head of the line, which then began to form and continued to grow all night. At about 32 o'clock there were perhaps fifty people in line, mostly colored, but every man representing thirty seats, the largest num- ber that could be taken by one person. Probubly not any of them were there to get seats for themselves, and very few of them had any money anyhow. Some were hired to go there by persons who had received orders to buy seats and would take their places in the morning; some were there on private speculation, while others were there merely to wait it out and sel} their places to any one who want- ed to buy in the morning. Most of them had partners, who would take their places for awhile, during which their fellow workers would “get something” around the corner. It was a pretty jolly crowd for a while, singing snatches of comic songs and guy- ing one another. The police were there to keep order and see that all was done fair and above deck. “How much will you sell out for?” A storm of answers arose. “Fifteen dol- lars, sah," “right down this way for a soft place to'stand," “lemme buy your tickets, mistah.”” Then some one cut the price to $2. You could probably have got a pretty good place for $1. Two darkies were discussing Stoddard. They seemed to be a little groggy on the details of his life, and not quite up to date on his lecture, although very original in their views. “Stoddahd, who doan know who Stoddahad is?” said a loud-votced fellow as he blew the fumes of a two for five into the face of his questioner. ‘Why, he hes been moh’ places in half a day than you has since you was bohn. He has been to New York, Boston and other furin countries, he has.” “Go on, nigah, doan I know that,” re- plied his companion grandly. “I knows moh than you does about him, you black- skinned colored niggah, you.” At about 8:30 this morning a section of the people at the front were let in. The place of the man at the head of the line was taken by a woman, who marched in as proudly as a general at the head of his troops. Sad to relate, many who had gone into the line to sell their places got stuck, and owing to the glut in the market twenty or more persons who had stood there all night found no purchasers for their places. They had no money either, and so were ruthlessly “run out” by the police, to turn homeward much sadder, much wiser and with a profusion of lan- guage never heard inside a Sunday school. Some who bought tickets to Stoddard will hear him, some who speculated will come | out even, some perhaps will be out of pocket, but others will pull in enough dust to be joyful on for some days and nights to come. —_—_——_— Board of Trade Growing.

Houk’s District. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 28, 1894. ‘The two parties are preparing for a royal battle in the third congressional district, where a successor to Congressman George | W. Houk, deceased, is to be elected this spring. Gov. McKinley has not yet called | the special election, but will doubtiess fol- low the recommendation of the republican congressional committee that the election be held on the first day of May. It was generally supposed that the election would be fixed on the date of the regular muni- cipal elections—the first Monday in April— and thus save the considerable expense of @ district election. ‘The republicans announce that Governor McKinley, ex-Speaker Reed, Congressman J. C, Burrows of Michigan and ex-Gov. Foraker have agreed to take the stump there in the campaign, and the democrats state that on their side there will be peeches by ex<iov. Campbei4z, Bourke Cockran, Senator Brice and probably also by Congressman Wilson, the author of the The ae ipaign will it be 1 one— The cam will no! a long not more than # month in length, and probably shorter. The republicans have called their nom- inating convention at Hamilton on March 31, The democratic congressional commit- tee has decided to call their nominating convention at Miamisburg, Montgomery county, a point near the geographical cen- ter of the district, The time will not be fixed until Gov. McKinley has issued his cali for the election. ‘The third Ohio district is an historic one, both from the distinguished men it has sent to Congress and because of the cele- brated contests that have been held in it. Among the abler men that have repre- sented the district are Tom Corwin, Gen. R. C. Schenck, John A. McMahon and the Campbells, Lewis D. and James E. It is now composed of Butler, Preble and Mont- gomery counties, Butler is normally about 8,000 democratic, while Preble is about 600 and Montgomery about 1,300 republican. The district should, therefore, give a dem- ocratic majority of at least 1,000; but Gov. McKinley carried it last fall by more than half that number of votes, It contains the National Military Home at Dayton, with its CHARLES SALYARDS HANGED. He Did Not “Cheat the Gallows,” as He Declared He Would. CARLISLE, Pa., March 1.—Charles Sal- yards, the murderer, was hanged this morn- ing. The drop fell at 10:38. The day was bright and an immense crowd gathered in and about the jail yard to see Salyards executed. The condemned man slept well all night, but was very ill from the effects of the poison which he swallowed yesterday with suicidal intent. This morning he vomited frequently, and could not arise from his cot, the attend- ants being compelied to dress him while he was lying down. At 10:30 o'clock the sheriff enterel the cell with four deputies, the intention being to carry Salyards to the scaffold if he was too ill to walk. The man was calm and re- signed. He refused to be carried, insisting that he was able to walk. With a deputy holding each arm the wretched man was dragged to the scaffold. As he stepped on the trap he closed his eyes and said in a weak voice: “I want to say to Martin's relatives who are here that I am inno- cent.” After a short prayer the black cap was placed over Salyards’ head, the noose ad- justed, and the drop fell. Just before the trap was sprung the man uttered the single word “Innocent.” The fortitude displayed by Salyards de- spite the fact that he was suffering severe- ly made the scene very pitiful. Several men in the crowd fainted. The crime for which Salyards today paid the death penalty was the murder of Po- liceman George E. Martin on Saturday night, April 8, 1893. Policeman Martin started out upon his beat early in the evening and shortly after- | ward he was seen to follow a man into a dark lane. There was a shot, a man ran away and Martin was picked up dead. From a description given by persons who witnessed the murder suspicion at once fastened upon Salyards, a noted Harrisburg thief, who had been seen in Carlisle that A reward of $1,000 was offered for the capture of the murderer. Salyards was traced to Hagerstown, Md., where, on the following Monday morning, he sought to conceal his identity by having his beard cut off. From Hagerstown he was traced to Winchester, Va., and there arrested. His trial was begun before Judge Sadler on May 15 and lasted eight days. He was ably defended by W. J. Shearer and H. 8S. Stuart. District Attorney Barnitz and ex- Judge Herman, however, presented a com- plete chain of circumstantial evidence and the jury reached a verdict of “murder in the first degree” in three hours. A motion for a new trial was overruled and sustained by the supreme court. The pardon board refused to commute sentence. He was sentenced to be hanged on January 23, but Gov. Pattison granted a reprieve until March 1 to give an opportunity for a rehearing. ‘The case was again heard, but the pardon several thousand old veteran voters, but this vote is found to be unchangeable; ard even under the republican tidal wave of last fall the heme vote showed a net gain for McKinley of only 80 votes. Sorg’s Nomination About Certain. The democrats of Butler county will doubtless be given the right to select the candidate, and it now looks as though the republicans of the district would invest their brethren in that county with a like prerogative. At their convention at Hamil- ton on Saturday last, to select delegates to the congressional convention, the Butler county democrats presented the name of Paul J. Sorg of Middletown as congres- sional nominee. While there is some talk of nominating Editor Frank Huffman of the Dayton Times, it is confined mostly to Montgomery county, and his name is rot Nkely to be presented to the convention. It is almost certain that Sorg will be nomi- nated,unless he declines to accept the nom- ination in advance, and that he is not Iixely to do. He is a very large manufacturer of tobacco, and is known in Ohio as “Sorg, the tobacco king.” He has an enormous plant at Middletown, where he has 2,400 persons on his pay-roll. Mr. Sorg is a mil- Monaire several times over, and yet is an ardent advocate of the income tax. This fact, and that he is a large manufacturer, will, it is believed by the democrats, add great strength to the ticket if Mr. Sorg is nominated. Ex-Congresaman Morey. The probability is that either ex-Con- gressman H, L. Morey, a cousin, by the way, of ex-Gov. Campbell, or ex-Fourth Assistant Postmaster General E. G. Rath- bone, both of Hamilton, will be the republi- can nominee. There is considerable jeal- ousy between these two gentlemen, and if the contest narrows down between them it is likely to be bitter. Morey is trimming his sails now for gubernatorial sailing, and intends to succeed Gov. McKinley if he can. Soon after Congressman Houk’s death, when Morey’s name was mentioned as his possible successor, he came out in an inter- view stating that he could not be a candi- date. But the mention of the name of Rathbone as a candidate seems to have led him to change his mind, and he is a sure enough candidate now. He evidently does not propose to permit a rival states- man to rise above him upon his own heath, if he can help it. The district is full of young republicans who would like the nomination, however, most of whom have managed to have them selves referred to in public print, and should there be a close fight between Morey and Rathbone some of them might walk away with the honor. Among these are R. M. Nevin, O. B. Brown, W. E. Crume and L. B. Gunckel, old republican fighters of Dayton, and Maj. F. K. Bowles and W. H. Young, young republicans of the same city; C. C. Donley of Middletown, who was Congressman Houk’s opponent in 1802; ex- Representative Elam Fisher of Preble county, John Rising and Representative W. W. Aker of Eaton. It is ex-Gov. Campbell's district, and he will take great pride in leading it back, if possible, into the democratic ranks. cece ar wae eter THE BALTIMORE BOULEVARD.

ALLENTOWN, Pa., March 1.—While sev- en quarrymen were at work this morning in the slate quarry of Owen T. Williams & | Sons, at Williamstown, Lehigh county, the | top caved in, burying Jos. Reamly, Samuel Kreitz, Griffith O. Pritchard, Wm. R. Jones | and three Hungarians. Jones was dug out alive, but he is fatally hurt. The rescuing party can speak with Reamly, but the oth- ers are probably killed. A large gang of qQuarrymen is pushing the work of rescue. Later—The scene of the accident is in Washington township, one mile west of Slatington and twenty miles north of Al- lentown, in the heart of the Lehigh slate region. The quarry was comparatively new. ‘The men were working in a tunnel, the roof of which seemed firm and strong. Without warning, soon after the men went to work this morning, the roof caved in near the opening, completely filling the mouth of the tunnel. Jones was nearest the opening and in less danger than the other men. When the rescuers began work he was brought out first, but was horribly cut and Squeezed and he may not recover. Remaley was next reached. He was all but dead. While the rescuers were dig- ging toward him he conversed with them. He could not see his other buried com- panions and could not tell their fate, Kreitz was the third man reached. He was dead, crushed and mangled horribly. The work of rescue is still fa progress. There is no hope that the four men yet in the tunnel are alive. —— Tried to Wreck an Exprers.

Terrific Natural Gas Explosion at Tif- fin, Ohio. TOLEDO, March 1.—A special to the Blade from Tiffin, Ohio, says: “At 3:12 this morning an explosion entirely wrecked Hubach’s brewery, with a shock which was felt for miles. Natural gas escaped from a high-pressure main into the beer cellars, and when the night watchman, Anthony Meyer, entered with a lighted torch the ex- plosion occurred. The brewery was razed to the ground. The Wagner residence, near by, was badly damaged and the occupants thrown from their beds. Heavy plate glass windows were splintered by the shock two blocks distant. “Though nothing remained but the founda- tions of the brewery, Meyer crawled from under the debris uninjured, except a cut on the head and slight burns on his face. The loss is between four and five thousand dol- lars.” —_—~—__—_. COMMENDED BY THE “SPORTS.” Stanton Abbott, the Engl Fighter, Creates a Favorable Impression. CHICAGO, March 1.—It is the general verdict on the meeting last night between Stanton Abbott, the light-weight champion of England, and Harry Gilmore of Chicago that at last England has sent over a fighter who was worthy to meet any one in his class. Gilmore stayed five rounds, but he did little real fighting at any time, and the call of time twice saved him from being knocked. out before the final blow was struck. Abbott was surrounded by his friends and showered with congratulations. His friends wanted to carry him from the stage, but he insisted on remaining until Gilmore had sufficiently recovered to know what was going on and to shake hands with ——_—_ COAST CITES UNGUARDED. .

There is not a city on the Atlantic coast that could not be placed under tribute. “The new guns and mortars that have been ordered will go only a little way in protecting over 4,000 miles of the richest coast in the world, especially with our fortifications tn the state they are. “The army is only a skeleton organiza- tion, but what there is of it is in excellent condition.” In regard to the report that he is to be transferrred from Chicago to Governor's Island, Gen. Miles says: “I understand that Maj. Gen. O. O. Howard is to go on leave in June, preparatory to retiring, and as I will then be the second ranking gen- eral officer on duty I presume that, in ac- cordance with the previous customs of the army, will be ordered to Governor's Island.” —____. NEED NOT SHOW THEIR BOOKs. An Importa Decision | Aguinst Brokers. CHICAGO, March 1.—In the board of trade suit Lamson Bros. against Boyden & Company, to recover ”W”), Which the plaintiffs claim to have paid to defendants during a “corner” in the market, manipu- lated, it is claimed, by the defendants,Judge Blanke last evening made an important ruling in the case, being the first suit of this nature ever tried in Illinois. The case arose from fluctuation in the price of corn in September, 1889. During the last few days of that month No. 2 corn for November delivery fluctuated vio- lently, ranging from 33 to 69 cents a bushel, Lamson Brothers, who, it is claimed, were “short” on this “future,” being caught in the squeeze for the amount claimed. The plaintiff sought to compel Boyden & Company to produce their books, showing all the corn purchased by them for delivery |in November, or which they held in ware- houses. They contended that the defend ants were under obligations to surrender their books to the inspection of the court for the purpose of enabling Lamson Brothers to recover back money they had paid in settlement of “short” contracts for | the delivery of corn in November. On the part of Boyden & Company, it was contended that the purchase of corn by Lamson Brothers at fifty-eight bushel was a voluntary purchase in the market without protest or complaint, and legal obligations to surrender their books of accounts for that month for the pur- pose of furnishing evidence to enable Lam- son Brothers to recover a penalty or for- m “running a corner. Judge Blanke held with the defendants, under constitutional grounds, that every citizen is to be secured from unreasonable search or seizure of his property where the object of such search might disclose ev dence which would submit the citizen to a penalty. cents a! any minor child as his or her own chil4,.and make such minor child an heir at law. Sent for an Opinion. Some time ago when the grades along Pennsylvania avenue were changed the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com- pany was directed to pave the space re- moved in accordance with law. The com- pany repudiated the bill, claiming the work Was not necessary. Accortingly the Com- missioners ordered certificates of indebted- ness against the company, and the railroad company asked that the proceedings be | stayed. Capt. Powell is not willing to take any steps in the matter looking to a con- tinuation, and the papers have been sent to the attorney for opinion. Trees Objected to. President H. A. Griswold of the Anacostia and Potomac River railroad has called the attention of the Commissioners to low-hang- ing limbs of trees on M street southeast near 34, and also near New Jersey avenue. He states that during the last ten days three smokestacks have been torn from the roofs of the cars by these Iimbs. A Sugees' to Fornge Contracts, In passing upon ~he suzzestion of John B. Daish, that considerapie could be saved by awarding contracts for forage in the ag- gregate instead by items, Property Clerk Beckett reports: “In advertising for forage and all supplies tor the District govern- ment, the Commissioners reserve the right to award by item or by the aggregate, whichever way will be for the interest of the District. It may be that lower prices wight be obtained if bidders were assure! before- hand that awards were to be made in the areregate, but it would prevent persons from bidding who wished to bid for one or two items only. It would save a grent amount of work 'n this office if awards for forage were made in the aggregate to one contractor.

Apropos of the special dispatch to The | Star of February 19, calling attention to the | damage wrought by electricity to water and | gas pipes, President Mclean of the Wash- ington Gas Light Company today forward- ed to the Commissioners the following let- ter, together with the clipping above refer- red to: June 17, 1893, this company, by {ts man- ager, Mr. Leetch, called to your attention @ | matter of serious importance to this com- | pany and to every citizen of this city, bear. ing upon the injurious effect of electricity on gas and water mains. Since then our fears have increased by actual experience, illustrated by an explo- sion of gas on Ith st-eet above New York avenue, blowing out the manhole of the electric conduit, and, traceable to the direct effect of electricity,in the destruction of one of the company’s service pipes. This con- stant danger is greatly increased from the fact that in nearly every instance these manhole covers ate air tight, thus prevent- | ing the escape of gas which may accumu- j late therein. An explosion ts the inevitable | result. It is in no manner the purpose of the Washington Gas Light Company to in anywise seek to interfere with the conduct or control of the electric wire conduits, but | Solely to guard the interests of the gas light company, and to that end to hereby protest against the use of ai>-tight covers to the manholes of the electric conduits. The company’s apprehension as to accu- mulating and future dangers is increased by the facts shown by the publication in Thy Evening Star newspaper of this city, on the 19th instant, giving statement of the dan- gers now threatening Philadelphia and other cities in the Union from this same cause. I herewith send you a copy of the article for your consideration.
