BIG POPULISTIC VOTE Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. . COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 2, 1894, The republicans have now nominated can- didates for Congress in all but two of the districts in this state, and the democrats in all but eight. The republicans will no doubt fill the vacancies, but the democrats will probably allow several districts, where the majorities are heavily against them, to de- fault. The present system of districts is the result of a republican gerrymander, which was intended to send sixteen republicans and five democrats to Congtess. Like all serrymanders, it makes the party pluralities in all the districts very large. The political landslide that operated against the repub- licans two years ago, however, gave the democrats a majority of one in the congres- sional delegation, in spite of the gerry- mander. The probability is that this year the delegation elected will stand about as the authors of the gerrymander intended it should. Possibly some of the districts left ‘sure democratic” by the gerrymander may be carried by the republicans, if the popu- list and labor movement in this state de- velops much strength. The following are the congressional candi- dates in this state, so far as they have been nominated up to this time: Dist. _ Democrats. Republicans. 1. No nomination. Charles P. Taft. 2. No nomination. Jacob H. Bromwell. 3. Paul J. Sorg. No nomination. 4 = =6F.C. Layton. W. D. Davies. 5. John J. Snook. F. B. Dewitt. 6 J. L. Stephens. Geo. W. Hulick. 7. No nomination. Geo. W. Wilson. 8 No nomination. Luther M. Strong. 9 ByronF.Ritchie. James H.Southland. 10. No nomination. Lucien J. Fenton. 11. No nomination. C H. Grosvenor. 12. Joseph H.Outh- D. K. Watson. waite, 13. BostonG.Young. No nomination. 14. No nomination. W. 8S. Kerr. 15. Chas. Richard- H.C. Van Voorhis. son. . 16. A. Barnes. Lorenzo Danford. 17. J.A.D.Richards, A. S. McClure. 18. Edw. S. Raff. John W. Taylor. 19. Henry Apthorp. S. W. Northway. 20. No nomination. C. R. Beach. 21. Tom L. John- T. R. Burton. son. In the twentieth district the democrats indorsed the populist candidate, S. L. Hai rington, but this offended the populists, and he was obliged to withdraw from both ‘tick- ets. Neither the populists nor the demo- crats have yet filled the vacancy thus made. ‘The republicans nominated A. H. Kling, the president of the state board of agri- culture, for Congress in the thirteenth dis- trict, but hg declined. The congressional committee is empowered to fill the vacancy, but has rot done so yet. Though the demo- cratic plurality in the district ts large enough to szem to be safe, the democrats had trouble in getting a good candidate who would accept the nomination. The honor was first conferred upon Capt. W. L. Haynes of Fren ont, who has represented the district in Congress one term, but he declined. Boston G. Young, who has been made the candidate, was nominated in a second conventicn. Young has been a mem- ber of the legislature, and, in 1888, was candidate for secretary of state on the democratic ticket, being defeated at the polls by Daniel J. Ryan. The democrats hope to elect Layton in the fourth district, Srook in the fifth, Outhwaite in the twelfth, Young in theghirteenth and Richards in the seventeenth. They think there is a charce for Tom Johnson to se- cure re-election in the twenty-first district. ‘This seems highly improbable, however, for the perty is full of dissensions there, and the party organ—the Plaindealer—is openly fighting Johrson. The friends of Senator Brice are not likely to overlook this oppor- tunity to express their disapproval of his attack upon the Senator in the state con- vention. Johnson's election would be a sig- nal personal victory. The democratic plurality in Congressman Layton’s district would seem to be large enough to insure his return to Congress— about 5,00, but his republican opponent, W. D. Davies, is making a vigorous and skillful fight. He asserts his confidence in his ability to overcome the majority against bim, and certainly gives evidence of earn- estness. If Layton is really in danger of defeat it is not certain that the next dele- gation in Congress from Ohio will contain any democratic members. In this district Mr. Outhwaite is making the only real fight for election to Congress that he has ever been called upon to make. The normal democratic plurality in the district is about 3,000, but upon the vote for governor last fall the republicans carried it. Mr. Outhwaite is making a vigorous campaign of it, and it will be a matter of pride with him to see that he is not beaten. He is quite wealthy, and it is believed that he will put a great deal of money into the campaign. His competitor, D. K. Watson, ex-attorne Lanes of the state, is a man of fair ability and a skillful politician, and while he has not the means to put into the campaign that his opponent has, he will no doubt be able to draw much more in the way of campaign funds from the national committee than Nr. Outhwaite will. Much will depend in this contest upon the source from which the populists will draw the larger part of their increased vote. They will have this year between 100,000 and 200,000 votes in Ohlo. An agent working for the republican committee, polling the city, reports that he found in one ward here, the eighth, 150 voters who admitted to him that they were going to vote the populist-labor ticket this year for the first time. The eighth ward is an average ward in all respect8, and if the gain is the same in all tne city the new party will gain nearly 4,000 votes in this city alone. Bellamy Storer’s Defeat. The turning-down of Congressman Bellamy Storer in the convention to nomi- nate his successor at Cincinnati last week by George B. Cox and the Foraker repub- licans was a great surprise. It had re- cently been arnounced that Storer had the favor of Cox and other leaders in Cincin- nati as candidate for the United Statee Senate to succeed Senator Brice. The work of the republican conventions in the first and second districts indicates that a truce has been patched up between the Foraker and Sherman factions. Of course, the For- aker men controlled the conventions. But the nominee in the first district, Editor Charles P. Taft of the Times-Star, is one of the most uncompromising Sherman re- publicans in the state. He is, moreover, a personal enemy of ex-Governor Foraker. Jacob H. Bromwell, who was nominated to succeed Storer, is a prominent Foraker re- publican. It seems to indicate that both wings of the republican party in Hamilton county are to flop together this year, and if there was any doubt before that the re- publicans would carry the first and second districts it is now removed. Storer had not been in Cincinnati since the adjournment of Congress, and it is believed that he did not dream of thus being placed upon the shelf.

The Dean of the Alleged Hahnemann Homeopathic University Wields the Pen. To Editor of Start I notice an article in Saturday issue of your paper over the signature of “Pauline Fry” Relating to the recently chartered “Hahnemann Homeopathic University” regularly chartered under the Laws of the District of Columbia, “however without The Consent of the Homeopathic Medical Society” a Grave error on the part of the commissioners in not consulting the above society” the author refers to The unopened building on K st. with no sign of Life inside or out except the sign for rent at $40.50 pr month, There is no reason why the Building should at this date present any other appearance than it does, as there is plenty of Time to prepare the building, in fact there Is no preparation more than having it cleaned and placing the furniture in the rooms, which would require but 3 or 4 days at the most, next, she says that She has made arrangements For a diploma, which contradicts its self, when we all consider, and know that one member of a faculty has no right to make any such Promises and even if disposed to do so his or her colleagues would not ratify such action but if the statement needs more condemnation than the public has already given it, then I can say that no such an arrangement was made, as far as the Ho- meopathic Society Is concerned, I am sorry for their own Welfare that they have seen fit, to dabble In the ‘fairs of the university at all, but as they seem to be of an interfering disposition I presume the university will have to excuse them on the ground that they did not know any better or did the best they could, but Personally I shall not be disposed to excuse Them for the personal attack on myself and Wife. I never was a student of the Coliege From which They Claim my degree in medicine was Granted, but I have a degree in medi- cine From an institution excelled by none and Equaled by few in this or any other Country, an institution recognized end hon- ored Everywhere, My Diploma hangs upon the walls of my office and any one is at liberty and Welcome to see it, office hours 8 to 10 A M 2 to 4 P, M, 6 to 8 P M, that part of the Interview relating to the abuse of the National Homeopathic College never took place, no abuse was at any time di- rected to eny individual or Institution none required, no college was ever in all of its appointments perfect at the first—opening of its doors, as the Very brilliant young Lady assured me that she was a graduate of St. Mary’s Convent she was not refused the Privilege to matriculate believing she would not misrepresent, she asked the Question If graduates of other reputable Colleges were not allowed to Graduate in one year.

(medical colleges) in the measurement of the sign with the name of the university your cor- rispondent had another stroke of her vivid imagination when, she concluded to’ cover nearly the Intire front of the building with it, The name selected was “Hahnemann” while we use the name it is not an in- fringement upon any other institution in existance, and we have a perfect right to use It, and intend that neither the name of the Father of Homeopathy nor the Cause shall suffer by the Washington institution, But it shall and will keep pace with its il- lustrous predecessors in Philadelphia, San Francisco, and we hope that it will not Have to bring up very far in the rear of the “Southern Homeopathic of Baltimore” notwithstanding a very small minority of the medical Society here are associated with it so I am told by one of its own members, I will not mention the members name for They don't talk much outside,— the examination of the applicant and the special—arrangements with me to the Ef- fect that she would surely pass, is like one of the early Paragraphs in this reply in as much as It needs no further denial or contradiction, If she will show the matricu- lation card any on can see that is just such a card as any College would issue To an applicant for entrance in a School, if the author of Saturday’s article Would only tell how hard she worked and conived to get into the university On Just such an arrangement as she outlined it might be interesting Reading for some people, and when she failed utterly in getting the kind of a matriculation Card she sought and was told Positively that she could not Graduate without disecting, because the “special arrangement matriculation is not issued by the University, Neither will students be graduated Who have not dis- ected, “Pauline Fry” thinks One season for any one else but herself is a very short time to dessect, but to use her own words “she doesent want any of that Bloody des- secting, No Medical College requires the student to dessect More than one session, some students especially those who expect to pay special attention to Surgery or anat- omy, I from choice, Expicted to make sur- gery my special work Dessected two years, and saw a great deal of blood during that time, and have seen a great deal since my graduation in my Dessections of live sub- jects in legitimate surgical operations, the matriculation card By no means confers the degree of medicine as “Pauline Fry, seems to think it simply admits To the building, after gaining an entrance into The building by paying the required fee or Tuition for the year then, and only then are you admitted to the primary or other classes to which the student belongs, so the Square pasteboard Is not a Diploma and as “Panline Fry” will Find out if she attempts to cure those two children of hers or some body else and Her patient is compelled to dismiss her and imploy the under taker or most likely The coroner, lastly It does not I believe require That seven Physicians shall apply for a Charter for a Medical institution but Others may do so but the faculty must, of course, be physicians legit- imate practitioners and capable of teaching and the Star with its thousands of readers need not fear that the “Hahnemann Ho- meopathic University” will be found want- ing elther In numbers or talent.

Oct Ist "94. — MR. DUNLOP DENOUNCED. Federation of Labor Calls Him an Anarchist. The Federation of Labor, at an important meeting held last evening, approved a set of resolutions adopted by Bricklayers’ Union, No. 1. The resolutions state that President Dunlop of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company has evidenced by his arbitrary action in forcing cars through the parade on Labor day his utter disre- gard for law and order, thereby demon- strating that, in the truest sense, he is entitled to the appellation of anarchist and revolutionist, and that the union views with aiarm the effort of Dunlop to subordinate the princip',- of law and order to the in- terest of c.“,vrate power as being danger- ous to the welfare of the citizens of the community. The resolutions commend the action of Commissioner Powell in stopping the cars; the action of Mr. A. A. Lipscomb, in assisting Prosecutor Pugh of the Police Court; Judge Kimball's impartial decision, and the action of Maj. Moore and Lieut. Kelly of the metropolitan police. —— WILL FIGHT NEXT SUMMER.

INSPECTOR OF STRERES BEGGS’ REPORT Putting Up New: Télegraph and Telephone Poles ard Wires. DISTRICT SUITS TRIED ‘The annual report of the general inspector of streets, E. M. Beggs, was submitted to the Commissioners today. The report is a voluminous document, and treats in detail of the subject intrusted to his care. This officer has under his supervision street and steam railroad, the maintenance and oper- ation, the repair and protection of crossings at street and railroad intersections as a pro- vision for the safety and convenience of travel. He has also the supervision of tele- graph, telephone and electric light conduits, also of the gas mains, involving the selection of routes as well as the designations of points for the erection of poles. He also in- vestigates claims and damage suits against the District. In his report submitted today upon these subjects he says: “Under these different heads much good werk has been accomplished during the course of the year. “Notably under the head of railroads may be mentioned having occupied the atten- tion of this office ‘the extensions of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railroad as provided for in public act No. 99, approved Suly 5, 1892." “This work was gotten thoroughly under way about the middle of the year, and the clese of the year found it rapidly pushing toward completion, with the result that, in point of track construction and equipment, the completed portion is one of the most substantial roads that has ever been built in the District. The report speaks in praise of the heavy rail put down on tne extension, and then has the following to say on the question of grade crossings: Grade Crossings. “The progressive policy of the Commis- stoners regarding the protection of the steam railroad tracks has had a wholesome effect, and although there is no immediate Prospect of getting rid of the threatening dangers of the grade crossing, yet there is the encouraging hope that the authorities of both the great railroad systems have awakened to the necessity of protecting these tracks, as Is commensurate with the dangers attending their existence. “Improvements have been made through- out the lines of both roads as far as the District line in the way of additional pro- tective appliances, and with the erection of two or more additional alarm signals, which the safety of travel seems to suggest at points beyond the city limits, and the fenc- ing of the unfenced portion of the tracks within the city, it is believed the dangers incident to the thus far'enforced tolerance of steam surface tracks will have been re- duced to a minimum, ae “The crossings of the a Be and Poto- mac rcad ure kept up to a High standard of maintenance, and all°within the city are equipped with safety ‘gates, manned pro- portionably as the requirements of safety and travel seem to déft-and, The crossings of the Baltimore and'Ohio'toad are corre- spondingly well equipped, ‘but their stan- dard of maintenance 1 not $0 high, nor has there been the same!‘effort at compliance on the part of this ccmpany with the or- ders of the Commissiéters ‘relating to this feature of their crossings.” Overhead Lines and’ Cond “In addition to those, owned and operated by the general and District governments in the District, the following private corpora- tions own and operate overhead lines and conduits, or both: The Western Union Tel- egraph Company, Raptd Transit Telegraph Company, Postal ‘elegraph Company, Chesapeake and Pot¢mac Telephone Com. pany, Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Corpary, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Compeny, United States ‘Electric Lighting Compary. These companies each have their own separate pole lines and conduits, the most extensive overhead stems being owned by the Western Union Telegraph Company, the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, the’ Postal Telegraph Company and the United States Electric Lighting Company, while the underground systems, aside from those of the general and District governments, are owned by the United States Electric Lighting Com- pany, the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele- phone Company, the Western Union Tele- graph Company and the Postal Telegraph Company, those of the United States Elec- tric Lighting Company and the Chesapeake and Potomyc Telephone Company being the most extensive. There was practically no conduit con- struction by any of these compaiies dur- ing the past year. They were engaged mostly in renewing their overhead lines, replacing old with new and stronger poles, and substituting copper for iron wires, where use had rendered dispensing with the latter necessary, The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company and the Western Union Tele- graph Company in compliance with orders of the Commissioners, have “marked” their poles with their respective rames, and as the designation of poles in this way great- ly facilitates the work of inspection, it is hoped that it will be insisted upon in re- gard to the other companies. The United States Electric Lighting Com- pany have not complied with the orders of the Commissioners, directing the removal of the line of poles from 15th street north- west between F and I streets, nor of the overhead wires acrcss 7th sireet norihwest between G street and Florida avenue. The overhead lines, upon the whole, may be said to be in a fair state of maintenance with the exception of the Rapid Transit, which {s practically an abandoned line, and should be removed from the streets en- tirely, The standard of maintenance kept up by the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company is exceptionally good, their pole and wire equipment is of the best, and their work is expedited in the most satis- factory manner. E “The supervision of this bronch of work in considezation of existing law, and the policy of the department affecting it, re- quires the exercise of both watchful care and thoughtful study, involving much detail of execution. The plans of operations, as shaped by these considerations, has been to guard against any possible violations of law, and when the erection of poles has been found necessary to:so locate them as to interfere the least with public or private interests, and at the came time secure the objects of such necessity, or if there are @ number of poles belonging to a single company or to different companies, the aim being to secure the free and unobstructed ‘use of as much of street, road or alley as possible, the least number of poles are made to carry the greatest number of wires, and if it can be satisfactorily arranged, the lines are made to combine, all of which is suggestive of the feasibility of the single- pole system of overhead ire service. “When, however, the proposed poles were on the line of conduits, aud it was found they could be dispensed with, it has been the practice to encoutage the utilization of the conduits. i “Advances have been made during the year, the outcome of recommendations from this office, tending to the improvement of the distribution service from conduits. The companies are now extending their branch conduits well into the intérior of squares, which is deemed especialiy advantageous,in that it will admit of accommodating the smaller squares by the erection of a single pole, or of two poles at most. “Recent legislation authorizing the erec- tion of tel»phone poles in alleys ought to simplify matters respecting the overhead system of the telephone company, and ultimately result in the removal of many of their poles from the public streets, though it {s but just to state that the poles of this company would already have been removed from certain streets that are pro- vided with conduits had they not been oc- cupled by District wires.” —— White Ribboners.

Soldiers From Fort Myer Leave for Other Posts—Lively Scenes at the Depot This Morning. If the western train robbers ever try to held up a train that pulled out of the Bal- timore and Ohio station this morning head- ed toward the setting sun they are likely to be the worst fooled lot of bandits the @un ever shone upon. Thet train was leaded from stock to muzzle with soldiers, armed and carrying ball cartridges. It was taking away two troops of Uncle Sam's cavalry, K of the ninth and H of the eighth, who have occupied the charming querters at Fort Myer for three years, and in that time have made so many friends that their departure today was the cause of an immense amount of real regret. The scene about the station this morning reminded one very forcibly of old war-time deys, fur there was all the bustle and hurry of a band of soldiers starting out on a campaign, but there was none of the con- fusion that marks a party of civilians when they go off together, It is no small under- taking, however, to handle such an outfit, and the officers had their hands full getting everything and everybody on board the cars and to seo that nothing was left be- hind that ought to go, and incidentally,that nothing went that ought to stay. It took @ special train of twelve cars to carry all the men, horses and » and two big engines were put at the head to pull them along. The train consisted of five sleepers, six cars and a horse car. The work of getting away was made comparatively easy by the fact that all the I was sent over last night and carefully stowed away in the cars allotted to it. Bright and early this morning the men were up at Fort Myer doing the thousand and one little things that must necessarily be done at the last moment. Hand-bags were packed, carbines were given one last rub down, haversacks were loaded and ‘fit- ri Nal al pang ea to make the ‘ore quickly—cigars, tobacco, and ‘other materiais that are dear to the ‘s heart, som w is to be feared, ‘were carried in bottlce” a many of the men, troop (the colored troop), line on their way to the train. But by 7 o'clock all was ready, and the line of march was taken up toward the city and across the bridge, and as they be- gan to draw out of sight of the post which had been their pleasant home for three years past many an eye was turned back to have one last look at the wooded hill which shut out the view of the barracks and parade ground. In Georgetown a num- ber of cable trains were called into requisi- tion to transport the band to the station. As they passed down the avenue they at- tracted a great deal of attention, and many a good-bye was called out to them from the early morning pedestrians. When they reached the corner of llth street and Penn- sylvania avenue the men gave a rousing cheer for The Evening Star and waved a farewell with their caps. At the Statioi The train was all made up and ready for them when they reached the station and Uttle time was lost in getting on board. But {t was then that the real fun began, for there were crowds of people awaiting them on the platform to see them off. When the train finally pulled out the band, had there been one on board, would have played “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” for there are tears and sorrow in the heart of many a colored belle in Washington today. As most of the female sex who were on the platform to bid the soldiers a long and lov- ing farewell were colored, it would seem as though K troop must have cut a wider Swath in local society than did their white comrades in arms. The good-byes and hand- shakes and kisses were long drawn out, for there was considerable delay in getting the special train off, and it was nearly 10 o’clock when Washington saw the last of these two troops of cavalrymen. H troop carried away fifty-eight men and three officers and K troop sixty-one men and two officers. The privates and non- commissioned officers and their families were provided with tourists’ sleepers, where they were made as comfortable as they could desire. At the rear end of the train was attached a Puilman sleeper for the accommodation of the officers and their wives. In this were Capt. Hughes, Capt. Fountain, Lieut. Steele, Lieut. Benton and Lieut. Perry. Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Steele were also of the party. Of the two troops H is bound for Fort Meade and K for Fort Robinson. One car was necessary to transport the horses which are the private property of the of- ficers. The other horses belonging to the troops were left behind, and will be utilized by the men of the sixth cavalry, who have been detailed to Fort Myer. In one of the cars rode Pluck, a great, big, ugly-looking bulldog, who is the pet and pride of the men in K, and who look upon him as their mascot and friend. Sorry to Go. In conversation with a Star reporter this morning the officers expressed a great deal of regret at leaving Washington, which is always the Mecca of a soldier’s heart. They have enjoyed their stay at Fort Myer to the fullest extent, and carry away with them only the pleasantest memories of their hospitable treatment here. Still they teke the change very philo- sophically, for a soldier is accustomed to being moved about at the will of the powers that be, and after a certain length of time they seem to get restless them- selves, and are ready enough when the change comes. The departure of these two troops this morning still leaves two troops at the fort, F of the seventh, Capt. Bell, Lieut. Bald- win and Lieut. Sewall, and A of the first, Capt. Bomus and Lieut. Landis. Troop F will leave on Friday at 11:15 for Fort Sam Houston, at San Antonio, Tex., by way of New Orleans, and troop A at the same time for Fort Staunton, N. Mex. Sixth Coming In. Last evening about 7 o'clock a special train brought in five carloads of troopers, the first detachment of the sixth cavalry, who were comingon to take the places of the men sent west. There were 136men in ail, making two troops, A and H. They brought with them thirty-one private horses and a great deal of baggage. These two troops were among those which were hurried on to Chicago last July at the time of the big strike and have been there ever since. Troop H is commanded by Col. D. 8, Gordon, First Lieut. E. F. Willcox and Surgeon B. Munday. Troop A is com- manded by Capt. H. M. Kendall, Lieut. A. P. Blockson and Lieut. A. Gray, acting quartermaster. The train bringing the troops consisted cf five tourist sleepers for the men, two palace cars with the officers and _ their families, and the baggage and freight cars with the troop property. The men were served with coffee at the depot, and were afterward loaded on street cars and taken over to Georgetown, whence they marched to Fort Myer. The remainder of the sixth cavalry, from Chicago, will come on to take the vacant quarters at the fort as soon as the other troops move out. ——aae Real Estate Transfers, Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: Walter A.

What Rev. Dr. ppen Says of the Next Unitarian Conference. Rev. Rush R. Shippen, pastor of the Uni- tarian Churck in this city, has just re- turned from a European trip and the Uni- tarian conference at Sar:toga. Mr. Ship- pen thinks the next conference should be held in Washington. He has an eye to the practical side of the question, and says that while there are ample facilities for holding the conference in Saratoga, the press facilities do not seem to be as good. He thinks that it is a great mistake to hold such meetings where there are not plenty of newspaper men and important papers, as well as what he calls a “com- munity” interested in what is going on. Of course, the Unitarians were overshad- owed to some extent by the New York democratic convention, which was one of dramatic scenes and national importance. Mr. Shippen says thet as the conference does not mect again for two years there will be plenty of time to arrange for the gathering. He refers to the very full re- ports made of the Presbyterian synod held in this city, and thinks that any gathering here is sure to get much better treatment by the press than elsewhere. Besides the full reports of the local press, he says, there are so many newspaper men here, representing all the great dailies, that, while the Associated Press sends every- tning of general interest, the correspon- dents supplement the reports by anything of interest to their own sections, and espe- cjally as to the prominent part taken by en from the cities they represent. Mr. Shippen intends to leave nothing undone to bring the next conference here. _——_— SANITARY MEASURES. Bills for Remo of Snow, Ice and Weeds. With a desire to keep the city in a thor- ovgh sanitary condition and also for the purpose of compelling the owners of va- cont lots to keep the same clear of weeds, &c., the attorney for the District has pre- pared for the Commissioners a bill to be submitted to Congress remedying these mat- re ers. He also transmits a draft of a bill to provide for the removal of snow and ice from the sidewalks and other purposes. THE COURTS.

In the Court of Appeals, on the motion of District Attorney Birney, the case of the United States against Charles Hopkins was advanced to be heard on the 15th instant. Last December Hopkins, a young colored man, struck Adam Gordon, also colored, on the head with a brick in a South Washing- ton ssloon. Gordon was not thought to be seriously hurt, and his assailant was sen- tenced in the Police Court to thirty days in jail a few Jays after on a charge of as- saulting Gordon. While Hopkins was serv- ing his sentence Gordon became ill from the effects of the assault, dying on the 3d of last January from a fractured nyt a al was 1 st Hop- before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 2 on the 18th of last April. A new trial was denied him cn the 12th of the following month, and cn the Sth of July Judge Cole sentenced him to be hanged on the 234 of November, 1894, between the hours of 10 am. ard 1 p.m. An appeal was noted to the Court of Appeals, and that is the mat- ter which will be heard on the 25th instant. —— Faculty Meeting of the Wimodaughsisa The Wimodaughsis has opened with its usual classes, with a faculty of twelve teachers.
