Tracy, cn behalf of Mr. Morton, raised the points that domestic and personal servants were exempted by the act: that Howard was both a personal and a domes- tie servant, and consequently his landing was not in violation of the statute. Judge Lacombe admits all these conten- tions. He says that Howard's duties con- stituted him a personal and a domestic ser- vant. But this does not constitute a reason for the granting of a permanent writ. ‘The language of the act clearly relegates to the Secretary of the Treasury the sole power to decide whether an immigrant ts here in violation of the law.

Geary Johrron of the jury sitting in the case of Frank Aldrich, charg- ed with forsing the name of Judge Cole on several promissory rotes, was well enough to be in court this merring, and Judge Mc- Comas directed the trial to preceed. The court room was again crowded, and again was the defendant cheerful ard confident of a favorable termination of the case. He was acedmpanied by his wife and father-in- law, and also by several ladies, friends of bis wife. After stating that he would abandon the counts in the indictment respecting the notes purchased by Wm. E. Matthews, be- cause of the latter's death, District Attorney Birney annourced that his assistant, Mr. Tracy L. Jeffords, who, by the way, was a brother officer of the defendant in the Dis- trict National Guard, would make the open- ing address to the jury on behalf cf the government. The defendant, explained Mr. Jeffords, was charged with forging the name of Judge C, C. Cole on several promissory notes made by the defendant, some sixteen in all. The case, thought Mr. Jeffords, was a very plain one, and one about which there could be little, if any, real doubt. The Same Ie. Handing the notes to the jury for their inspection, Mr. Jeffords called attention to what he med was a clearly established fact, viz: That the body of the notes, ad- mitted to have been written by the deféend- ant, were written in the same ink as the rame of Judge Cole. In their opening, said Mr. JeYords, counsel for the defense had aid that the proceeds from the notes in on had been used by the defendant in ing the interests of the Hanson Elec- ny, yet the defendant had ex- ly suid that the notes were given for but one purpose—to take up and reduce older notes. Mr. Jeffords’ address was rather brief, and at its conclusion District Attorney Birney asked the court to instruct the jury that the defendant's hasty departure from the city just before the alleged forged notes became due, and his long-continued efforts to avoid detection and arrest, were facts, if they were found to be tru . i oe ie, presumptive For the Defense. Judge McComas, after modifying the in- | Struction, granted it, the defense noting an exception, when Mr. Philip Walker ad- dressed the jury on behalf of the defendant. Referring to the corroboration of Judge Cole's testimony respecting his handwrit- ing, Mr. Walker called attention to what he claimed was a discrepancy between the testimony of Judge Cole and Mr. Given, contending that indorsements admitted by the judge had been pronounced bad by Mr. Given. Mr. Walker also called attention t> the fac t Mr. Lewis J. Davis had sworn that he could see no difference between two nowes acknowledged by Judge Cole and a third one which Judge Cole declared was a forgery. The fact of the matter was, stated Mr. Walker, that Judge Cole had been shown to be so unacquainted with his own signature as to make his testimony so ul as to warrant the jury in giving lant the benefit of that doubt, to wl the law declares him entitled. The defendant had not fled from justice, said Mr. Walker, but had gone away on a legiti- mate business enterprise. But times wer2 notoriously bad, stated Mr. Walker, and to save Judge Cole the defendant made an as- signment of all he possessed in Judge Cole’s favor, and sent it to Judge Cole's brother. The defendant, explained Mr. Walker, did all he could to save his friend, and, if he were able, he would today pay every cent of the notes irdorred by Judge Cole. Mr. Truitt Argues. Mr. Sam’l D, Truitt followed Mr. Walker on behaif of the defendant, claiming that the defendant had not stolen away from the city under cover of darkness, but had left it on an honest purpose, and with the knowledge of his associates in the Hanson Electric Company. Mr. Truitt had not concluded his address when, at 12:20, Judge McComas directed a recess until 1 o'clock. Closing Address. District Attorney Birney at 2 o'clock this afternoon began his closing argument for the government in the Aldrich trial. The case is expected to go to the jury today. —>_— THE SIBLEY HOSPITAL, Its Formal Dedicatory Exercises This Afternoo! ‘The dedication exercises this afternoon of the Sibley Memorial Hospital, which adjoins the Deaconess Home, at the corner of North Capitol and Pierce streets, were attended by a large number of those in- terested in this commendable enterprise. ‘The address of presentation was delivered by Mr. B. H. Warner, on behalf of the alonor of the building, Mr. William J. Sib- ley. Mr. Warner said: “Mr. Sibley had his attention first drawn to this work by a committee of ladies who waited upon him to obtain a contribution. He responded favorably to them, as nas been his custom, and the satisfaction they exhibited at his response induced him to at once increase the amount’ of his subscrip- tion from $100 to $2,000, and to reflect upon the project so carefully that he resolved to undertake the construction of the building n expense. ‘ » here today to dedicate this buili- at his ow “We tian thoughttuluess ard generosity of the giver, and as a memcrial to his loving wife.

Those sec- tions provide for the establishment of “‘an observatory circle as a provision for guard- ing the delicate astronomical instruments at the United States naval observatory against smoke or currents of heated air in their neighborhood and undue vibrations from traffic upon the extension of public thor- oughfares in the vicinity.” The Land and Its Price. The board has made an elaborate report of their pi . They heard the property owners in regard to the value of the respective plats of ground and carefully inspected the topographical contour of the several plats. After a personal examination of the premises the appraisers determined end fixed the price at which the public land shall be sold and the parcels of private property shall be purchased as follows: “Public land for sale—Plat to north and east of Massachusetts avenue, 14,449 acres, $141,454.57; plat to south and west of Massa- chusetts avenue, 1.218 acres, $18,569.63; total, 15.767 acres, at $160,024.20, The board recommends that plat north and east, 14,449 acres, be subdivided for sale, as far as practicable, in areas, more or .ess, as follows: Grounds bordering Massachusetts avenue, in lots 100. feet front by 200 feet deep, amounting to seven acres, more or less, and that the remainder of the plat be divided into lots containing one-half acre each, amounting to seven and two-tenths acres, more or less; the front divisions to be sold for an average price of not less than 30 cents per square foot, and the remaining lots for not less than an, average of 15 cents per square foot. A Map of the Circle. The board incloses a careful map of the observatory circle, described in the joint resolution, showing the location, quantity and character of each parcel of the prop- erty, described in section 5 of the joint res- olution, to be taken to complete the circle, with the names of the respective owners inscribed thereon; and the appraisers have dctermined that the following is just com- pensation to acquire by purchase legal title to the several plats of ground, not now be- longing to the United States, that are sit- uated within the said circle: Plat east, rmanstone, 1,732 acres, owned by Alfred W. Fleming, estimated value, $15,089.18; plat west, owned by Robert Weaver, 8.645 acres, estimated value, $37,657.62; plat west, owned by Theodore rnes, 0.389 acre, esti- mated value, $1,050.07; plat west, owned by Philip Young, 0.714 acre, estimated value, $4,665.28; plat west, owned by John A. Bar- ber, 0.425 acre, estimated value, $2,221.56; plat north and wes, Dumbarton, 7.895 acres, owned by Joh, W. Thompson, estimated value, $85,976.55, Taking a total of 19.8 acres, at an estimated value of $149,660.26. The difference in favor of the government in selling 15.767 acres for $160,024.20 and buying 19.8 acres for $149,660.26 is $10,363.94. An Outlet Avenue Proposed. The board closed its report as follows: “As a result of establishing the Observatory Circle, the attention of the honorable Sec- retary of the Navy is invited to section 1 of the joint resolution, ‘That no street, ave- nue or public thoroughfare in the neigh- borhood of ihe. buildings erected upon the United States naval observatory grounds shall extend within the area of the observa- tory circle therein described.” As the law now stands all streets extended would terminate at the circumference of this cir- cle, unless an outlet is secured by an ave- nue, say ninety feet wide, opened immedi- ately without and contiguous to the area of the observatory grounds. The property owners or representatives of the said own- ers south of the observatory from the observatory lane to Massachusetts avenue, and on the north of the observatory from the Industrial Home School to Massachu- setts avenue, are in favor of such an ave- nue being opened.” Held for Pablic Uses. The several tracts and parcels of private land embraced within the proposed circle, already enumerated, have been held as con- demned for public uses, in accordance with the terms of the joint resolution. The cir- cle, as required by the terms of the resolu- tion, has a radius of 1,000 feet with the clock room of the observatory as a center. Although there is nothing in the report to that effect, it is understood that the mem- bers of the board, as well as most of the persons directly interested, favor the estab- lishment cf a 58) way or wide drive around the circle, in a direction opposite to that whict. will be taken in extending Massachusetts avenue. ——_—- + e+ ___—_ ADDITIONAL ESTIMATES Secretary Hi port made to Ross, Mr. V.

Spirited Selling Causes a Drop in Manhattan. FLUCTUATION IN THE INDUSTRIALS Prices Not Affected by Prospective Gold Shipments. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS ee Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 19.—Speculation was resumed this morning under condi- tions identical with those of yesterday and Was equally void of feature. London prices were about on a parity with our closing and attracted no business on this side. In the early trading prices were generally im- preved, but sold off after the noon hour on realizing and an extension of the short interest. Manhattan was neglected througe out the morning hours, but opened at the beginning of the last half of the session at am advance of 1-8 per cent over closing prices. A revival of rumors concerning @ecreascd earnings, and the mysterious adverse de- velopments of which so much has been heard of late, resulted in a spirited selling movement, and an attenéant Joss of 3 1-8 per cent in the price of the stock. Purchases fer both accounts at the decline parfialiy restored the loss, but the ease with which the stock yields to the attacks of the bears has developed an unusual degree of caution among traders for long account. the Grangers were uniformly steady at Sains averaging less than 1-2 per cent, and the balance of the railway list was too dull to record any significant gains, Sugar opened strong at an advance of 1-2 per cent, but sold down 11-2 per cent on later trading by the room element. Chicago Gas was marked up under skill- ful manipulation to 761-2, and later under similar methods was depressed 11-2 per cent in order to catch stop orders. General Electric was strong and weak by turns on a good volume of business, The sentiment of the street is inclined to be bearish on this property, as it is said the profits from an apparently good business are not satisfactory and that a dangerous rivalry is likely to begin with the new year. The engagement of half a million gold for shioment tomorrow had no significant bearing on the course of prices, as the con- tract was made earlier in the week, when rates were higher, and ts not, therefore, a reflection of actual conditions at the pres- ent time. The offerings of cotton bills were again abundant this morning, but were ab- sorbed with the usual promptness. Indi- cations do not favor any further shipments during the week, as bankers are still dis- posed to make concessions to prevent the necessity of such action. The weekly report of the associated banks will show a balance, resulting from sub- treasury operations, of $1,750,000 in favor of the banks. The treasury has been a heavy debtor at the clearing house during the week, as the result of pension disburse- ments. The gold shipped last Tuesday will be reflected in a reduction of cash holdings, as will also the transfer, by the treasur; of over $800,000 to the country.
