Control Rests With the Republicans by 2 Small Majority. “JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., November 9.— Of the 34 state senators, 18 will be dem- ocrats and 1% republicans, this est:mate conceding the defeat of the twenty-fourth diztriet, democrat, which is yet uncertain. The house will stand, J2mocrats, @2: re- publleans, 76; populists, 2 In the second district the elected republican senator has been found to be disqualified. His demo- eratie opponent refuses to take the seat, though the law allows him to, and a new election will be held. Congressman Champ Clark, at noon to- day, claims his election by 1,333, on what appears to be official returns. W. S. Hath- way, chairman of the republican congres- sional committee, is positive W. M. Treloar is elected by a little over 100. CULBERSON ELECT! Democrats Carry Texas—Several Close Districts. GALVESTON, Te: November 9.—From the returns received here it is safe to state that the state democratic ticket Is safely elected by 40,000 plurality. Culberson, ean- didate for governor, running about 1 per cent behind his ticket, because of his free silver views, which many democrats re- buked. The congressional delegation will not ve solidly democratic. N6on, republican, in the twelfth district, is elected by 1,0 plura In the sixth, Kearby (populist) is so close to Abbott (democrat) that the official re- turns will be necessary to determine the result. The same condition exists tn the thir- teenth, where Gilliland (populist) has the lead of three democrats on a split ticket, and in the seventh, where Barber (poputist) is slightly ahead of Pendleton (democrat) as far as counted. The cumbersome ballot law in the cities and tardiness in the rural precincts makes the official count in doubtful districts im- possible to get at before tomorrow. DOUBT IN NORTH CAROLINA. Two Congressional Districts Where the Resalts Are Uncertain. Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Sta: RALEIGH, N. C., November 9.—John G. Shaw, democratic nominee for Congress, third district, telegraphs today that he is certainly elected. The populists here claim that Cyrus ‘Thompson, their nominee, has beaten Shaw. Both second and third dis- tricts are really yet in doubt. It is certain only that Lockhart, democrat in sixth, is elected. The majorities against the demo- crats in the first, fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth and ninth range from 200 in the ninth to 3,000 in the fourth. Six Republicans From Kentucky. R. H. Carrothers, chairman of the Ken- tucky state republican committee, telegraphs Chairman Babcock that six republicans have been elected to Congress from that state without counting Denny in the Ashland dis- trict. —__~—_—— DEPORTATION MEANS DEATH.

ASAPH’S, Va., November 9.—The fine weather of today attracted one of the largest crowds of the meeting to the St. Asaph track, although the card was none of the best and the track far from good.

A Tax Question Decided Today by Judge Cole. Judge Cole this morning granted the peti- tion of Thomas J. D. Fuller for a writ of mandamus commanding the District Com- missioners and the District collector of taxes to advertise for sale at public sale certain real estate to enforce the payment of three tax lien certificates held by the petitioner, dated September 25,1873. As stated in The Star at the time, Mr. Fuller filed his petition several weeks ago, stating that he had become the owner of the certificates, and that the District au- thorities had refused to enforce their pay- ment. In their answer and during the ar- guments in the case the Commissioners contended that the period during which the certificates could be enforced had ex- pired, and that they row had no authority to enforce the payment. In granting Mr Fuller's petition, Judge Cole states in his order that it appearing that no cause had been shown why the writ should not issue as prayed, the re- sporder ts are commanded, forthwith to ad- vertise for sale for ten days, under the pro- visions of the sixth section of the act of the gislgtiye assembly of — June 25, 1873, to enforce and provide for the col- lection of all taxes that may be in arrear on or after July 1, 1873, and authorizing the governor to anticipate the revenues from the same, and to sell at public auction for cash to the highest bidder to enforce the three tax lien certificates issued under said act. The costs of the suit are also taxed against the respondents. ‘The certificates are for $248.61, $97.07 and $142.29, respectively, and were issued in the name of Edward Walker and A. F. Kimmell for taxes on lots 16, 17 and 18, sqvare 491. — BOARD OF TRADE. Preparations Complete for the Mect- ing on Monday. The preparations for the annual meeting of the board of trade, which will be held in the Builders’ Exchange, on 13th street, next Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock, are now about completed. Many questions of great importance and interest to citizens are to be considered at this meeting, which will doubtless attract a large attendance upon the part of the members of the board, now numbering about 450. Among the principal matters to receive | attention will be the election of ten directors to serve for the ensuing three years, the de- livering of the annual address and presenta- tion of the reports of the several officers and standing committees, showing the work which has been accoraplished during the past year, as well as the present condition of the vartous subjects within their spheres and the outlook for the future. Certain pro- posed changes in the by-laws, of which no- tice was given at the last meeting of the board, will also be acted upon. The board of directors, at agneeting held recently, unanimously adopted a resolution to the effect “that the proposed extension of the operation of the law known as the civil service law to the offices of the government of the District of Columbia meets with our hearty approval, believing that such action is in the Interests of better and more bus- iness-like administration.” This resolution, together with a recommendation that the board of trade approve the petition to Con- gress of the firemen, asking an increase in their salaries at a uniform rate of 25 per cent, one-half thereof to be devoted to the firemen’s pension fund, will also come be- fore the board for consideration at this meeting. nr ABOUT HIS DEATH. Third Trial of an Interesting Insur- ance Case. ‘The jury in the case of Eva L. Casey against the National Union, which for the third time has been on trial the last three or four days, returned, in Equity Court No. 2, a verlict for the defendant. Mrs. Cesey’s husband was insured in the National Union, a benefit asosciation on the assessment plan, for $5,000. He died in 1886, and an autopsy showed the presence of arsenic in his stomach. The association, therefore, refused to pay the policy, on the ground that the deceased had committed suicide, and that the rules and regulations of the association prohibited the payment of policies where the person insured died by bis own hand. Mrs. Casey secured a verdict in her favor in the two previots trials, but new trials resulted in both instances. The plaintiff submitted evidence tending to show that her husband suffered frcm heart dis- ease, and that the poison was taken to re- Meve pain, and not with a suicidal intent. On the other hand, the defendant offered evidence in support of its claim that the de- ceased committed suicide. Chief Justice Bingham told the jury that they should, to entitle the defendant to a verdict, find that the dead man took the arsenic with the pur- pose of ending his life. It is understood that a motion for a new trial will be made. A PERPETUAL INJUNCTION The Homeopathic Medical College Now in Court. The Secicty of Loeal Homeopathic Physicians Seeks Legal Interventio: In the suit in equity filed October 14, 18%, by the Washington Homeopathic Medical Society, asking for an injunction again the National Homeopathic Medical College, the plaintiff, late this afternoon, filed an amend- ed and supplemental bill. After reciting the faet of the filing of the original bill the plaintiff states that the de- fendants were served with process, and, al- though they made emphatic declarations through the public press of their desire to be heard, and to vindicate themselves, they not only have never answered the bill, but have sought to delay their answer by rais- ing a technical objection to the form of the summons, insisting that the District of Co- lumbia corporation is entitled te sixty days within which to answer, and the defendants have never made the slightest efforts to bring the cause to a hearing. In defiance of the outraged sentiment of all the reputable physicians of the District of Columbia, the bill goes on to say, the defendants, or one of them, has during the past year pretended to conduct a home- opathic medical college in which they pro- fessed to give instruction in the science of medicine. ‘The plaintiff claims that the defendants have made no addition to their equipment nor any improvement in the personnel and standing of their so-called faculty; that they succeeded by unscrupulous advertisement in deluding into attendance some persons honestly desirous of obtaining a medical education; that In at least one case it has granted a diploma to a person who has actually studied medicine for not exceeding seven months in the alleged _ col- lege; that in another case It has grant- ed diploma to a person who was forced out of a recognized and respect- able medical school because of absolute in- ability to pass any examination, and that the defendants, for the purpose of attract- ing students, have continued to advertise, as members of the faculty, the names of physicians who had previously positively refused to be identified with the college or to allow their names to be used in con- nection with it. The court is asked that the defendants, pending the suit, and perpetually may be enjoined from conducting said alleged col- lege. —_~—— THE POLICE FORCE. ite in Court To- In Marion court last night the police raided the house of a colored woman named Louisa Jenkins, and arrested six men and women found there, and charged them in Judge Kimball's court this morning with being vagrants. Policeman Brown was the only witness in the;case, but he knew roth- ing about them except that they were guests of Louisa Jenkins last night, and the court could do nothing but discharge them. During the trial of the case a woman told of the firing of a pistol in the house on one occasion, and Lawyer Hewlett, who repre- sented the prisoners, volunteered the state- ment that a policeman had probably fired the shot, for such things were often done by policemen. Judge Kimball said he did not like to hear such remarks about the police, and added he did not believe the shot was fired by a police officer, for the witness said that the man who fired the shot ran. “Quite likely,” added wyer Hewlett. “After firing the shot he remembered some- thing about his instructions and fled. Since the Lexow committee investigation in New York I'm surprised at nothing.” Judge Kimball here took occasion to say a good word for the Washington policemen. He admitted that there were probably a few men who shouki not be on the force, but a large majority of them, he said, are good, upright eltizens. Lawyer Hewlett said he would admit that there were many good men on the foree, but he also knew of many men who should not wear the uniform and who are on the force. In the case of Louisa Jenkins, charged with keeping a disorderly house, a jury trial was demanded. > DALEY CASE CONTINUED. Hefore e Police Trial Board Today. At the hearing of the case of Sergt. Daley on charges preferred by Lieut. Gess- ford, before the trial board yesterday, a | number of witnesses in addition to those | mentioned in The Star were examined. | Sergt. Daley produced a lottery ticket dur- ing the examination of one of the witnesses and questioned him concerning the sale of it. The witness declined to answer the question, but said it was not sold at 1wu2 ith street, the house mentioned in the news- paper article. Several witnesses were called to disprove the statement that lottery tick- ets were sold at the house mentioned. Frank Wissner, @ newspaper reporter, was called and questioned concerning an al- leged conversaticn he had with Sergt, Daley, put he declined to answer on the ground that the telling of such things was not protessional conduct. 7 When the board met this morning Sergt. Daley went on the stand and made a denial ot the charge. He denied that he gave the information which appeared in the News to Reporter Dill. Charles Heller was called as a witness | and he told of an alleged conversation be- | tween Lieut. Gessford and the reporter, and aiso told certain things, which he said the reporter told him about Daley. | i5x-Policeman Cotton was also a witness, | and it is said that he gave important evi- dence in behalf of the accused sergeant. Policemen Klinger and Bruce were called to give evidence concerning Daley's conver- sation with Reporter Johnson of the Post. Night Inspector Pearson and others were also exammed. The result of the hearing will not be made known for some days, a 1T COST THREE LIVES. ming Fifty Pounds of Dynamite.

In the case of Grace Abbe Rathbone against Frances Rebecca Hamilton, the Court of Appeals this afternoon rendered its decision. The judgment of the lower Tourt is reversed, and the cause remanded. The opinion was written by Chief Justice Alvey. —_——> The Safe Broken. Last night the wholesale store of E. C. Whitford & Co., at the Center market, was entered and an fron safe in the place was robbed of $4. The burglar broke the com- bination lock with an iron bar, and was frighte1.ed off by Special Officer Miles be- tere ke could make a good haul. > Leave to Sell Asked. Rosalie A. Dawson, guardian of the minor heirs of the late George Francis Dawson, today filed a bill in equity against Margue- Fite Rosalie Dawson and others for leave to sell or incumber the real estate of the wards. TWO ELECTION STORIES. A Bet That Rests on Mr. Morton’s Choice of His Inaugural Coachman. There will probably be a surfeit of election stories, but here is one that is too good to be missed. The day that Secretary Carlisle decided to release Morton’s coachman, John Shriver was everi'in the treasury building “talking with Van Senden, Carlisle’s private secretary. They mixed their econversation up with politics, and finally Johnny said: “I'll bet you five that Howard will drive Morton up to the state house to be inaugur- ated as successor.to Flower. Van Senden covered the bet, and two crisp $5 bills were put in the hands of R. J. Wynne. After retiring from the Secretary's room Wynne said: “Johnny, what did you make a bet of that kind for? He has got two chances at you. If Howard 1s sent -back you lose, or if Hill is elected you lose.” “Oh, that is all right,” responded Shriver, “I only bet him to find out what Carlisle had decided to do. They have decided to deport him or Van would not have made the bet. I'll go right over and send it.” Shriver was about to rush for the tele- graph office with his exclusive news, when Wynne suggested that it would be just as well to ask Immigration Commissioner Stump about it, and there they found that he was preparing a telegram to be signed by Secretary Carlisle, ordering the release of Howard. It seems that Van Senden had not been taken into the confidence of the Secretary upon a recent decision, and it was in the cards to deport Howard when he had last been informed. Now it remains to be seen whether Howard will really per- form this duty, upon which Shriver has risked his money, when Gov. Morton rides up to be inaugurated. It is claimed that influence will be brought to bear which will enable the versatile Shriver to win his novel wager. Wynne says he will hold the stakes until after the governor is inaugurated. Willett’'s Prompt Action. There is another story, which brings in Washington's new postmaster, that must be told. The day before election Bob Wynne was at the headquarters of the republican congressional committee, and Chairman Babcock was pralsing an article Wynne had written, which he claimed would do the party much good. “I must buy you a hat for that,” said the enthusiastic chairman. “It deserves it, and I shall win enough from bed democratic rivals on the coming elec- jon. “Well,” said Robert, “if you say so we'll go down to Jim Willett’s and get a hat, un- less you have some objection to patronizing a democrat, and especially one who bas just been appointed to office.’ “Get it where you please,” replied Bab- cock, ‘and wear it for republican success.”” Mr. Wynne had informed the chairman that he was about to take the train for Philadelphia, where he was going to vote. He went down and got the hat and went away. Upon his return to Washington the next day after election he met Babcock, and, after mutual congratulations, the chairman said: “Say, your democratic hat man must have thought that the republi- cans were going to be swept out of exist- ence, and that I was going to decamp im- mediately. You had not got any further than Baltimore before Willett sent a bill up here for that hat.” Laan eee VACCINATION ORDERED. Health Officer Weodward Finds a Law Issues an Order. The Commissioners held a long consulta- tion with Health Officer Woodward yester- day afternoon, at the District building. The present situation of the smallpox in the city was generally ‘discussed, and at the conclu- sion of the méeting the following order was approved, upon the recommendation of Dr. Woodward: a Whereas smallpox now exists in this Dis- trict, 1 therefore: direct that parents and guardians shall ct use their children and wards to be successfully vaccinated or to be revaccinated, except in such cases as have been successfully vaccinated within five years from the wate of this order, or as have been protected from infection by a previous attack of smallpox or variloid. ‘The iate board»of health, in accordance with an act entttled “An act for the pre- vention of disease in the District of Co- | lumbia,” passed by the legislative assembly of the District, and approved by the gov- ernor, June 4),, 4572, made the following regulations, among others, in regard to smallpox, and on this yesterdays order is based: “Parents and guardians shall cause their children and wards to be vaccinated before they attain the age of two years and re- vaccinated whenever the board of health shall, after five years from the last vac- cination, require it.” ‘The beard of health hereby orders and re- quires the vaccination of all the inhabitants in the District,of Columbia, and, whenever, in their opinion, the public health demands it, the revaccination of all persons who do not furnish satisfactory evidence that they have been successfully vaccinated within five years. “All school trustees, school teachers or others having authority are forbidden to receive irito or allow to attend any school, public or private, within the District of Celumbia any pupil not vaccinated, as re- quired by the ‘rules and regulatior here- tofcre made and promulgated by this board.” ‘The foregoing regulations were legalized by joint resolution of Congress, approved April 24, 1800, and again by an act of Con- gress, approved August 7, 184, which act provides “that the power and duties im- posed cpon the lace board of health in and by said ordinances are hereby conferred upon the health officer of the District.” The drafting of this order was the result of a compiaint filed with the Commissioners a few days ago by Mr. H. G. Potter, be- cause his daughter, Miss Pearl Potter, was sent home by a teacher in the Central High School. Another Section. The Commisstoners this afternoon, upon the recommendation of Health Officer Woodward, passed the following amend- ment to the regulaticns to prevent the spread of smallpox: Section 13. That the aforesaid regulations shall apply to all cases of smallpox, vario- loid or suspicious cases of disease not dis- tinguishable from the aforesaid diseases, provided that the flag or warning placard shall be displayed only upon such premises as are known to be infected with smallpox or varioloid. No More Smallpox. ‘There was not even a case of suspicion of smallpox reported to the health office to- day, and the doctors at the quarantine sta- tion had a day’s rest, atter a busy day yes- terday. Although a number of cases of suspicion were reported yesterday, not a single case of smallpox or varioloid was found. The patients in the hospital were reported doing well this afternoon, but just when any of them will be discharged as cured is not known, sia eee teago Grain and Provision Markets Reported by Silsby & Co., Bankers and Brokers, ‘CHIC. mber 9, 1804.

NEW YORK, November %.—After an ir- regular and rather commonplace opening today’s stock market developel an unusu- ally strong urdertone, carrying prices up for substantial gains over yesterday’s fig- ures. Lonion was a moderat2 purchaser at the advance and gave unmistakable signs of @ willingaess to follow any weil-directed movement in the directicn of higher prices. ‘The covering ef shorts and the abundance of stop orders were important factors in the day's improvemen*. As the movement progressed the room element was assisted in its efforts to advance prices by a moder- ate demand from investors. The change in sentiment is due entirely to the satis- factory results of the fall elections and the discounting of ultimate benefits. The re- cuperation of lost values must be slow, however, and the present movement should force a reaction from the present level be- fere the period of sustained improvement sets in. The best opinions are against short sales, purchases on concessions for a quick turn being deemed the wiser policy until the present enthusiasm subsides and actual ccnditions are again permitted to dictate thefcourse of speculation. e sentiment on sugar underwent a com- plete revolution over night, yesterday's bears coming into today’s market with a liberal supply of bull arguments and some geod buying orders. The advance in the price of refined sugar and the resumption of business by several of the refiners fur- nished the motive for the changed position. Some excellent authorities on the aifairs of this company incline to the belief that the advance is the result of manipulation in order to establish a higher level for selling purposes in anticipation of free sugar agita- tion In the Senate. It is believed that friends of the admin- istration will urge the immediate considera- tion of the popgun measure now on the Senate calendar. Chicago Gas sold up 1 per cent and Na- tional Lead 11-4 on buying for both ac- counts. . In the railway list Jersey Central was again the feature, selling up 31-4 per cent on a good volume of business. The balance of the coalers were strong at moderate gains, there being no important changes in the outlook for their product. Northwest was active at a 21-8 per cent advance, and the balance of the Granger group was strong at advances varying from 3-4 to 1 1-4 per cent. ‘The weekly report of the operations at the subtreasury reflects a loss of nearly $1,000,- 000 to the banks. The receipts of currency from intertor points have been liberal dur- ing the week, and will probably offset the above loss. ° ‘The decreased rate of interest on out-of- town balances has had no effect on the in- flow of currency from eastern and New England points. The engagement of 500,000 francs for shipment tomorrow was an- nounced during the day, but did not in- fluence the course of prices. Realizing sales in the last hour marked prices off frac- tionally from the best, but the closing was steady and confident, notwithstanding. —— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
