Trouble in the Firm Res at Law. Wm. S. Gill today filed a bil in equity | agairst Alexander J. and Theresa M. Gill |and Florence H. McCartney, trustee, for |a Hssolution of the partnership of Gill & Son, candy merchants; the appointment of |a receiver, an accounting, the restraining of the defendants from interfering with the sina Suit | assets of the firm and the setting aside of a sale of certain effects of the firm, made on the 13th of last month. The complainant alleges that February 7, 1801, he formed a partnership with his father, the first. named defendant, articles being signed August 17, 1802. The business was conducted harmoriously, he states, un- tl October last, when the conduct of one of the empleyes of the firm occasioned dis- ’ disputes continued, the com- arges, uniil the first of last when he notified his father that the partrership must terminate. The debts of ine firm, the complainant alleges, amount to about $5,000, and he says that his father is absolutely solvent. Mr. .Gill also charges that, under a ceed of trust given to secure the second named defendant, his mother, the sum of $800, his father procured the sale of certain assets of the firm. Mrs. Gill became the purchaser, there being no other bidders. The bid was $950, but the complainant states that the goods sold were actually worth at least $1,400, He claims that his mother is incapable in law of con- ducting the business, und insists that the sale was part of a collusion oa the part of his father to acquire the assets of the firm at pricts far below their real value, and to apply the same to his own use. Judge Bradiey directed that the defend- jants show cause un or before the 7th in- stant why the prayers of the bill should not be granted, ANOTH —_ R CRANK, He Turns Up at the White House ‘Today. The" immunity from cranks which the White House officials have enjoyed for a few weeks was rudely broken this morning by the appearance at the main doorway of an undersized man, dressed in working clothes and carrying a bag of bricklayer’s tools over his shoulder. He was Thomas Cadogan of Massachusetts, and gave his adcress as the Lynn House, on Pennsylva- nia avenue. In an excited’ manner he told Officers Ellis and Hollinberger “I want to see the President.” “What for?" queried the policeman qui- etly. “They want to put me under ground. See? And I want to tell the President about it, and(you/ must not stop me,” re- Plied Cadogan, nervously. A telephone call brought a patrol wagon in short order, and the man was carried to the third precinct station. Some crank pa- pers were found if his pockets, making it appear that Cadogan wanted to secure the ident’s ion to “line” the Capi- tol building. He is a stone mason. He has called before at the White House, but w: tractable and’ wag persuaded to go away. In a note he left for the President he com- plained that the watchmen kept him from { discussing matters of importance with Mr. | Cleveland. —_ —>-— SLIGHTLY HURT.

STATE OF MARYLAND'S INREREST ses: Ginane-eaghaden Lene. DrawnOut Law Suits. SENATOR PROCTOR’S PLAN When the Senate adjourned yesterday afternocn it left a very interesting local matter hanging fire in a peculiar way. The sundry civil bill was still under discussion, and Senator Manderson had offered an amendment appropriating $100,000 for ac- quiring title to the water power of the Great Falls and such contiguous land as may be needed, for the purpose of giving additional water supply and electric light- ing to the District. In supporting this proposition Mr. Manderson quoted from the report of the District committee on the sub- ject of the extension of the water supply, and alluded to his resolution, which result- ed in the presentation of an elaborate re- port from the Secretary of War upon the water supply of the Potomac, and the cost of sy using it as to supply the city with light. He quoted from the report of the board of officers making the inquiry under the orders of the Secretary of War, Col. Siliot, Capt. Knight and Col. Reber, who showed that in Chicago the average cost per electric lamp per annum ts $¥6.64, in St. Louis, $111.12; in Wheeling, $62 per lamp for 400 lamps; in Baltimore, $127.75, and in the District, $182.50. They give $52.33 as the cost of an are light by the use of the falls. When Mr. Manderson made this gratifying showing from the report of the engineers, Mr. Gorman threw a wet blanket over nis hopes by asking if the amendment come from any committee, and by making a point of order against it on the ground that it was an original proposition. He reserved the point, however, In order to discuss the question, arguing that should the United States try to acquire these rights it would be involved in a long litigation with the state of Maryland. He said that in 1754 or “S5 Gen. Washington obtained for his navigation company the exclusive right on the river, front here to Cumberland and from thence to the Ohio river, from the state of Maryland, which owns the river from low water mark on the Virginia side. He also obtained from the government and the state of Virginia the right to the use of all the water in the river, except suffi- cient for the purposes of the few manu- facturing ents that had righ‘ prior to this grant. The grant was trans- ferred to the C. and O. Canal Company, the canal being constructed by the state of Maryland, the government, and the cities of Washington, Alexandria and Georgetown. At the Great Falls, on the Virginia side, there was a right that had been acq by the company that now holds it to use the water that flowed over the dam of the canal company. Maryland’s Rights. “When the government began the con- struction of the water works,” said Mr. Gorman, “so perfectly clear was the right of the state and the navigation company that Congress, nét having up to that time assumed the right to go into a state and condemn lands and other property, made an appeal to the state of Maryland and the canal company, and the state granted to the government the right to put {ts dam across the river on such conditions as the navigation company would impose. The conditiors were that the dam was to be only So many feet in height, and that the government should take from it only so much water as it wanted for the use of this city. That was formally accepted. When, ten years ago, it became necessary to in- crease the water supply here Congress mzde an appropriation to raise the dam, but it was only done on condition that the chief engineer of the army and the en- sineer of the state of Maryland should de- termine how high the dam should be ratsed, and the government paid whatever amount was necessary for the purposes of raising the embankment. Therefore, with all these complications, I say that measure of this sort ought not to be proposed until it is carefully guarded and the rights of th: state of Maryland and of the company, well as of the private company which owns the Virginia shore, are looked into. Gen. Butler, representing the company on the other side of the river, came here with a great claim against the government, on ac- count of the construction of the present dam, and it was a tong time before that matter was adjusted. An appropriation bill, I submit, is not the proper place for Mr. Proctor’s Examination. Senator Proctor went into the subject quite thoroughly, and argued that the ad- ditional land should be acquired to provide for # water supply for the future. “It is economy and wisdom that this power should be acquired entirely,” he said, “by the government. Divided ownership will always be a source of embarrassment, trouble and cost. It can be acquired now, we believe, very much cheaper than in the future. Two companies were chartered, ane by Maryland and the other by Virginia, at the last sessions of their legislatures, with a view to go on and improve this water power for private purposes. Of course, if they make their ‘mprovements tt will add greatly to the cost to the government. Hills have been and are now before Con- gress looking to the chartering of compa- nies for bringing electric power here from the Great Falls. So upon a very careful consideration of the whole matter, and a report from the engineers, a very full and exhaustive one, we believe it to be a mat- ter of economy for the government to ac- quire the full interest, and it seems to me a matter of fairness to all intcrests and of prudence for the government that we should at this time make some declaration of our purposes, if nothing further. “I made an examination of this situation while in the War Department. Under the provisions of the old law I visited the falis with the Attorney General and Gen. Butler and I have gone very carefully over the re- ports of the engineers. I do not believe that at the ordinary low stage—I will not say the extreme low stage—there is any great surplus of water and power, more than will be needed to make an ample si.p- ply for the city for aqueduct purposes, and not the power to generate electric light for public buildings and grounds and_ street lighting, aside from the questi of lght- ing private houses, as we only propose to take it for public purposes. “I know that the parties in Interest, the owners of the power, think that there is greater quantity, but I cannot agree with them, guided by my own observation and by the reports of the engineers. They re- port at a low stage of water some six thous- and and odd horse power, and with an ordi- nary stage something over eight thousand. It certainly would not be any more than ‘enough to generate electricity for lighting the town and furnish the water for uque- duct purposes. I think myself that it would be well to have some measure incorporated which would look to a careful survey and preparation of plans and indicate some- what the purpose of Congress in the mat- ter.” Mr. Hoar asked whether, in connection with the future water supply, the District committee has any in view con- cerning the partially completed reservoir near the Soldiers’ Home. Mr. Proctor briefly answersd that the committee has not considered that matter. Mr. Chandler entered the discussion and argued that the amendment jas not wise, or was the sum named sufficient, by a large margin, to quench the title of the Great Falls Manu- facturing Company. In answer to Mr. Manderson Mr. Chandler admitted that al- though this company has held a charter for fifty years it has not utilized the power for a single establishment. But he added | that this was owing to controversies that have incumbered the title of the company to the water rights. There was quite a de- bate between Senators Chandler and Man- | derson over the value of the rights of the Great Falls Company, and then Mr. Gorman renewed his point of order and the then oc- cupant of the chair, Mr. Faulkner, an- nounced that, in his opinion, the point was well taken and that the amendment was not In order. The Senate then adjourned. + e+ David M. Ore, an architect who designed and erected many large business blocks in | Der.ver, committed suicide last night im Denver, Col., by shooting.

The marine hospital bureau has received @ report upon the cholera situation in Europe from Special Oticer Irwin, stationed at Berlin, which is considered by the bureau to be highly important. Surgeon Irwin's re- port is for the week ending July 1%, and he writes: “The disease has progressed materially since my last report, especially in St. Pe- tersburg, where it has assumed alarming proportions. It continues at Cronstadt, and is even reported to be present in Finland, where it was never before seen. In Galicia there were many more cases than last week, and new cases have appeared tn Ger- many and the Netherlands. In Belgtum cholera stil continues, especially in towns along the Meus, which river is undoubtedly infected. On the whole, the outlook is rath- er alarming, far more so, indeed, than at this time last year. “Simultaneously with the news of the ap- pearance of cholera in Germany, a has come to hand which warrants the be- lef that the outbreak of cholera in St. Pe- tersburg is more serious than the official announcements indicate. The disease has taken hold of all tHe districts of the city, with the single exception of that known as the admiralty quarter, and it has ulso spread to the suburbs. July 13 a telegram states that in the city of St. Petersburg and vicinity several hundred cases of cholera occur daily. There have been tifty cases in the military camp at Krasno Zeloe. From the Sth to the 14th of July there were in the city 875 cases.and 294 deaths.” A Further Inercase. Under date of July 15 Surgeon Irwin re- ports: = = ‘Cholera in this city shows a further in- crease. The total number of cases reported yesterday was 218, ‘the deaths numbering sixty-nine. The prefect has ordered all wine shops in the city to be closed on Sundays and fete days during the prevalence of the epHiemic. Not cnly the authorities and the public generally, but even members of the medical faculty are beginning to be serious- ly alarmed at the rapid spread of the dis- ease. The St. Petersburg board of health has caused public notices to be posted up in the streets giving directions as to the best measures to be taken to ward off the dis- ililized es temporary hospitals here ana fn utilized as re in thesauri. "The correspater of the Lom, don Times writes under date of July 15 that the cholera in St. is assuming alarming much more in- Proportions, being tense and fatal than during the outbreaks of the two previous years. Altogether, it is thought that the epidemic must have been reintroduced from Poland into the cap- ital. The first cases seem to have appeared in Cronstadt. . At first there was consider- able apathy, but now the authorities have been roused to energetic efforts. Tomorrow the sanitary commission will begin to sit continuously to meet ev emergency. Carbolic acid has been distributed through- out the city. The hospitals are ail full, and one of the prisons has been prepared for re- ceiving patients. In spite of all that is be- ing done, the press severely takes to task the municipal authorities for the horrible water, foul odors and other defects of the town. “Today I recetyed the following dispatch from Mr. Andrew D. White, the minister of the United States at St. Petersburg: “ "ST PETERSBURG, 18th July. est 296 cases, fifty-two deaths, still sick; ‘serious. epidemic (Bigt.ed) “WHITE. “There have been tn all, in is city, since the 1st of July, more than cases. Preventive Placards. “At Hangoe, Finland, 2 cases and 1 death; on July 10, in Seranitz, district of Wesen- berg, government of Estland, 11 cases and 3 deaths; city of Warsaw, 29th June to Sth July, 34 cases and 22 deaths; government of Kielce, 20th June to 4th July, 90 cases and 36 deaths; Radom, 24th June to 3d July, 33 cases and 19 deaths; Plock, 28th June to 4th July, 5 cases and 14 deaths. The following are for .later dates, but are not official: Cronstadt, 8th to 13th July, 57 cases and 15 deaths; city of Warsaw, Ist to 7th July, 16 cases and 3 deaths; government of Warsaw, same dates, 33 cases and 21 deaths; Kielce, 119 cases and — deaths; Estland, 7 cases and 3 deaths (these last being refugees from Cronstadt); Kovno, 24th June to 7th July, 1s7 cases and 46 deaths; Plock, 24th to 30th June, 66 cases and 36 deaths; in Olonez, 4th to 9th July, 3 cases and 2 deaths. “The following is from the Vossische Seitung, July 17: “The precautions taken in St. Petersburg to ward off the spread of the epidemic are very slight, and consist prin- cipaily in the posting CE eed warning people not to drink unboiled water, to re- frain from the use of liquor and to call a physician ‘as ‘soon as symptoms of iHness are felt. This appears to be of little use, inasmuch ag the people are not provided with boiled water, nor are the addresses of physicians given. Vessels filled with boiled water and apparatus for distilling water are kept if certatn focalities, but they are few and far between. Even the policemen do not seem to know where the city physi- clans are to be found. The lack of wisdom of the municipal Buthorities begins to re- mind one of Hamburg. The sanitary cond!- tion of the capital, according to all auther- ities, is much wy than it was two ago. Large and small canals within the city limits are stagnant in places, and, of Adjoining the Kamenoi course, infected. prospect the conditions present an astound- ing espect. Where the Karpowka canal re- ceives the waste pipe ‘®m the Hospital of Peter and Paul, where are the cholera bar- racks, ft is stagnant ard emits the foulest odors. Fifteen yards away another waste pipe hangs over the canal by the windows of the patients. In the principal streets cesspools exist, and are cleaned by the old w ‘with buckets—and the excreta carried away in open barrels, the contents being frequently spilled — the route. It seems as if some evil genius hovered over the city and prompted the authorities to allow an- other dreadful epidemic, like that of Ham- burg, to occur, and the people themselves, by their habits, invite it, for never before have so many drunken men been seen here.’ Im Other Places, “The Russian government has come to an understanding with the Persian government for the establishment df a sanitary inspec- tion of caravans arriving in Persia from eastern Asia, in order that the plague may be kept out of Persia, whence it might easily extend to the trans-Caspian province. “In Germany, in the territory of the Vis- tula, there have been during the week twenty-four cases and eight deaths, prin- cipally among raftsmen. Austro-Hungary had reported in Galicia from the 34 to the 9th of July thirty-two cases and nine deaths, and since April 7 199 cases and 102 deaths. The district of Zaleszczyki has been a center of in the Dresden convention, and all passengers coming from Galicia are sub- jected te sanitary supervision upon enter- ing other parts of Austria. From Belgium it ts learned that within ten days there had been forty cases and ten deaths near Liege, the center of infection, and fifty deaths have occumred along the river Meuse since June 1. Two cases have been reported in Holiand, said to have arisen from drinking the water of the Meuse, thyee cases oc- curred on the steamer Von Dobeln, quaran- tined at Fegan, Sweden, and although no reliabie information regarding cholera in France can be obtained, attention is called to the exceptionally high death rate in Paris.” e+ Trades U ad, A debate was held last evening at the Western Presbyterian Church, HM street be- tween 19th and 20th streets northwest, be- fore the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, to decide whether or not trades unions are a benolit to the country. A large audience was in attendance. Mr. Julius Holzberg ected as chairman of the meeting and Messrs, L. C. Denham, E. C. Brandenburg and W. T. Armstrong served as judges. For the affirmative Messrs. Hugh Dougherty und FE. C. Gore spake at some length, they being answered by Messrs. James B. Lackey and H. L. Clements. The decision was in faver of the affirmative. | THE WORLD OF SOCIETY.
