A Laborer Falls From a Ladder and Breaks His Arm—Many Other Notes. Arrangements have been made for the Peckham-Ryan boxing match, to take place at the Eureka Athletic Club on Thanks- giving night. Peckham is now training hard for the go. Mr. Brennan, the propri- etor of the New York House, will give Peckham and his friends a supper after the fight. Arrangements have been made by a number of Alexandrta sports to go to the fight in omnibuses from this city. While at work on St. Mary’s Church yes- terday, Cornelius Scott (colored), one of the hodcarriers, fell from a ladder to the ground and broke his arm. Dr. Jones ren- dered the necessary surgical attention. Jared Hayden and Miss Flora Martin were chosen as delegates to the meeting of the Baptist Young People’s Union in Rich- mond, and left for that city yesterday. T. V. Rischetl, who recently leased the old Jamieson & Collins ‘foundry for planing mill purposes, has returned from the north, where he went to purchase the necessary machinery. He says he hopes to have his mill in operation on January 1. Miss Bessy Corse has returned from a visit to Loudoun and Fauquier counties. The cost of running the public schools in this city during the last fiscal year, es shown by the report of the city auditor, re- cently published, was $19,898.89. There are forty teachers, two principals-and one vice principal, twenty-one white and nineteen colored teachers. The salaries of the teach- ers amounted to $14,830. The schools of this city are in excellent condition and are full to the notch. While one of the Chesapeake and Olio passenger trains was passing through Hen- ry street yesterday afternoon, the smoke- stack of the engine caught in the trolley wire of the electric road, which is now be- ing constructed on King street between Columbus and Payne, which was sagging, and jerked it loose at the corner of Colum- bus ‘street, three squares off. .The train was delayed about five minutes while one of the hands unloosed the wire from the engine. While going from this city tv Wasking- ton yesterday morning in a heavy fog the steamer Mattano ran into the svhooner William Olliver, which was lying just off of Smoct's wharf, and carried away part of the rigging. The steamer was soime- what damaged. : Miss Clara. Hancock is visiting friends in Falls Church. The reguier meeting of the Indepenient Order cf Rechabites will be held in their rooms tonight.

Pedestrianism, and, in fact, any other form of locomotion, at the pure food ex- position last evening proved extremely difficult owing to the large attendance. Instead of decreasing with time, interest in the show is steadily on the increase, and the booths and other features apparently are more attractive than they were a week ago. "This evening has been set apart for enter- taining the District of Columbia National Guard. All militiamen in uniform will be admitted free of charge. The orphans of the city are to visit the show this after- noon, while tomorrow afternoon will be children’s day. The award of the prizes in the breadmaking contest is to be announc- ed tomorrow evening. ‘Mr. Long, representing the Harrisonburg Flour Co., announces that tomorrow even- ing he will distribute samples of flour in packages each containing a sufficient quan- tity with which to make two loaves of bread. Persons leaving their names and ad- dresses with Mr. Long are to be rewarded with a sample package. The Quaker Oats firm distributes a handsome and costly souvenir of the world's fair, which is eag- erly sought by all Visitors. None-Such mince meat ts being dispensed in neat box- eS, a8 are vast numbers of mince pies, this form of distribution being very appropriate considering the approach of Thanksgiving day. The features at the flower booth last evening were violets and roses of all varie- ties, particularly an American beauty, which occasioned much admiration. Miss Sears has added a number of features which ke her display even more attractive than heretofore. The lecture by Miss Helen Louise John- son this afternoon is entitled “A Fish Sup- per.” The recipes to be followed are given below. Crab Salad (Copyrighted). Boil the crabs for half an hour in salted water, to which has been added a little vinegar; when done, take out the crabs and drain them. Let them cool, remove the shells and pick out all the meat: cut the meat into pieces and cover with French dressing. Cut up an equal quantity of crisp, tender celery, mix with the meat and let stand for an hour before serving. Mix with mayonnaise dressing and serve on lettuce leaves garnished with the crab claws, parsley and hard boiled eggs. Clams a ln Newburg (Copyrighted). -Open twenty-five fresh soft clams. Put Into a saucepan with one tablespoonful of butter, stir until heated; add one table- spoonful of flour and cook until it thick- Beat the yolks of two eggs light, add one cup of cream, beat well and pour over the clams; stir until thoroughly cuoked and heated, but do not boil. Take them from the fire, add two tablespoonsful of Madeira and serve at once. ried Oysters (Copyrighted). Select the best large oysters and thor- oughly drain by pouring cold water over them. Carefully remove all shell that may be adhering to the oysters and lay them on a soft cloth to dry. Cover first with bread crumbs, allowing them to dry before re- covering, then dip in egg and roll in bread crumbs again, When ready, fry in deep smoking-hot olive oil and lard in equal quantities. Reast Oyster Carefully wash the shells; put them round-side down on a baking pan and place in the hot oven; when done—that is, &s soon as the shells have opened—take from the oven, remove the upper shell, season with salt and pepper and a little butter and serve while very hot. “New Dishes for the Chafing Dish” is the subj t of tomorrow's lecture. peasesaat a ESS is dispatch says that M.

CHARGED WITH SCANDALOUS CONDUCT He Pleads Not Guilty to All the Counts. PROCEEDINGS TODAY —_—_>—____ Commander Smith and his counsel, Gen. Brady, were prompt enough in their at- tendance upon the naval court-martial that is to try him for certain alleged finan- cial shortcomings today. But at 10 o'clock, the hour set for convening, one of the members of the court, Capt. Wilde, was not present, so there was a short delay. In a few minutes the president of the court decided that it woujd not be neces- sary to wait any longer, and the judge ad- vocate had started to read the proceedings of yesterday when Capt. Wilde appeared, and announced that he had mistaken the hour. It was then announced that there had been additional charges filed against Commander Smith, and that they had been served on him this morning. The accused said that he was ready for trial court was cleared in order that charges might be considered. The court soon found the additional spec- ifications correct and opened the doors a in. Lieut.Lauchheimer then read the charges. The first was “scandalous conduct,” which comprised a transaction between Com- mander Smith and one E. H. Conard of Virginia, in May, 1803, wherein the officer had assigned $98.43 of his pay to Conard to cover an indebtedness, to be paid by the Paymaster at the Washington yard in July, 1808. But before it was due he had drawn the full amount of his pay, without notify- ing Conard. Complaint having been made to the Navy Department, he had been call- ed upon by the Secretary for an explana. tion, which was delayed, until in October @ peremptory order was sent to him at Union, N. ¥., calling for his version of the transaction. This had not come, and hence the second charge, “disobedience of or- ders.” The new charge was also “disobe- dience of orders,” based upon Commander mith’s failure to report for trial prompt; as ordered, yor Quention of Jurisdiction. When the charges were read the accused was called upon to plead and through his counsel moved to strike out the first speci- fication, on the ground that it was outside of the jurixdiction of the court. Gen. Brady argued that the matter lay wholly outside the authority of a naval court. He urged that tho assignment of pay was not a mat- ter that fell within the cognizance of the department, and was not legal. He there- tore moved that the court should ignore thé entire first charge. He called upon the judge advocate for the law covering the case. Lieut. Lauchheimer read over this plea and then stated that the charges and speci- fications were covered by section 1624 of the Kevised Statutes, constituting the ar- ticles for the regulation of the navy. He quoted espectaliy the eighth article, which gives authority to the Secretary to try by court-martial any officer charged with certain offenses tending to the de- struction of good morals and discipline, in- cluding “fraud, theft, or any other scan- dalous conduct.” He argued that the court had ample jurisdiction and that the as- signment of pay was illegal only because the pay had been drawn by the assignor before it fell due to the assignee, and that this act gave the Secretary power to try the case. In answer, Gen. Brady said he could see in this argument no regulation or law au- thorizing assignment of pay. This, he said, vitiated the entire transaction. He read from the statutes a clause which declares that any sale or assignment of a claim against the United States is null and void. There had grown up a custom of pay assignments, but it is not based upon any law. He further asserted that there was no willful fraud alleged by the speci- fications. The judge advocate argued at some length in reply. As to the question of “will- fulness” he urged that this was a matter to be settled by the court after hearing all the evidence. The Second Count. Ther2 was ro further talk by counsel on this point, and again the court was clear- ed for consultation. Qn the reopening of the doors Commodore Wallace announced that the court refused to strike out the first charge, as requested by the accused Gen. Brady then entered a plea of not guilty to the first charge, and renewed his attack upon the indictment by moving to strike out the second charge, on the ground that it was indefinite and uncertain. He alleged that the order of the Secretary of October 20, calling upon the accused for an explanation, was not set out verbatim. Lieut. Lauchheimer met this with the statement that the only necessary part of sthis order had been quoted in the speciti- ‘cations. The court promptly overruled this plea as well, and then Commander Smith was finally arraigned and pleaded not gullty to all the charges and specifications. Witnessen Called. Capt. John A. Howell, a member of the court, was the first witness for the prosecu- tion. He is the present commandant of the Washington navy yard, and testified that Commander Smith reported to him un- der the orders of the Secretary yesterday morning, whereupon he had placed him under arrest and directed him to report to the president of the court. The de- fense asked no questions. The department's letter of October 23, ordering Commander Smith to explain at once, was placed in evidence, as were other documents. The court then took a recess in order to give Paymaster Rand, the first witness, a chance to pay off the men at the yard. After the recess, at 1 o'clock, Paymaster Rand and the file clerk of the Navy De- partment were examined to prove the for- mil part of the charges. Mr. Conard will take the stand tomor- row. — 'Y FOR FARMERS, BOU State Grangers to Vote Upon the Lu- bin Resolutions. At yesterday's session of the National Grange, at Springfield, Ill, the overtures from the National Federation of Labor, praying for amalgamation of the five farm- ers’ organizations, were rejected. The committee on dormant granges re- ported that there were good prospects for the revival of granges in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. A proposition to es- tablish a National Grange organ was de- feated. The masters of the New England granges will decide in which of the states the National Grange will meet next year. They will meet not later than March 1, 1895, and fix the place and dage. Resolu- tions favoring a national commission to arbitrate between labor and capita) were adopted. The grange adjourned at midnight, af- ter two days’ wrangle over the Lubin res- olutions, which asked the government to pay a percentage of the transportation of agricultural staples from America to foreign ports. The grange finally voted down the Lubin resoiutions and amend- ments, and it was resolved that the reso- lutions be submitted to state granges and through them to subordinate granges for their consideration. A legislative committee was elected as follows: J. H. Brigham, Ohio; Leonard Rhone, Pennsylvania, and John Trumble, Washington, D. C. They will present to Congress the legislation asked for by the National Grange. A resolution was adopted asking the gov- ernment to take charge of the construc- tion and ownership of the Nicaragua canal. 000. A collision W :dnesday night in Chicago's suburbs petween a car of the Cicero and Proviso electric street railway and a lum- ber wagon resulted in the instant death of one man and the serious injury of another. The dead man was Harry Bostron and the injured man is Michael McGary. MR. REED’S SPEECH fre aD Interest Felt Here on His Outline of the Republican Polfoy. There May Be Some Opposition, but It 1s Believed His Influence Can. ie The speech of ex-Speaker Reed before the Home Market Club, in which he laid down what he regarded ag the best policy for the républicans to purgue in the Fifty- fourth Congress, in view, of the peculiar circumstances which will, surround them, was read here with great, interest. There has been a general understanding that Mr, Reed would take the position which he here declares, and the best politicians of both parties in Washington comment upon his wisdom and discretion. It is probable that there will be some disposition mani- fested among the republicans in Congress to resist this policy in favor of one less passive, though there be no promise of the accomplishment of anything by activity. - Mr.. Reed’s Great Power. Reed’s power and influence are regarded, however, as great enough to enforce the following of his advice. If Mr. McKinley were to be in the House during the Fifty- fourth Congress, he would doubtless have @ considerable following in favor of the immediate inauguration of the fight for the restoration of radical protective tariff. His absence, however, will leave those who would oppose Reed without a leader. ‘There will be in the House the friends of Mr. Harrison and of Mr. McKinley, who will not be disposed to yield too readily complete mastery to Mr. Reed, and, be- sides this, it is anticipated that a consid- erable ni r of those men whose elec- tion as ublicans to Congress was a surprise, and who were therefore nomi- nated without any idea that they might have a voice as to the policy of the party, may be difficult for any one to manage. Cannot Overcome His Influence. At the same time, all the men in Con- gress who are of sufficient strength end ability to aspire to any sort of leadership recognize the prestige which Mr. Reed has and his wisdom and skill as a political manager. Even the jealousies which may surround him as an pan ped for the pres- idential nomination will hardly be strong enough to overcome his influence. It is not believed by any one that there will be any opposition to his election as Speaker, and that in that position he will lay down the policy of the House. Relief from tarfft agitation at a time when nothing could be accomplished by it, and a period. of peace and quiet for the benefit of the business interests of the country, is antici- PAWhatever financial legislation may be pressed by the republicans will probably have the support of the democratic Presi- dent and of the so-called sound money democrats in Congress. TWO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. Cable and Steam Cars Equal in Crushing Limbs. Last evening about 8 o’cléck there was a serious accident on the Washington and Georgetown cable rcad at the ,north side of Washington Circle, in which) a woman named Emma Sanford, whd"ls better known as Emma English, was stflick By grip car 211, on which, it 1s ssid, there yas no fen- der, and her left leg was #0 badly crushed that amputation was found necessary when she was taken to the Emergencf¥ Hospital. The place where the acdtdent occurred, the police say, is the darkest place on the line of the cable read, aifd tHe curve is such a sharp one that it, was impossible for the gripman to stop the train in time to avcid the accident. A Iprge ¢rowd soon gathered, and the womah was removed from beneath the car and taken to the hospital. z Gripman Charles Ricketts and Conduetor Andrew Bentley, who were mM charge of the cable train, were arrested, and released ‘on_ 3500 bond. * The police think the gripinan ‘was not to blame, for the woman, they say, Rad been drinking. She wa3 only released from the workkouse about three days ago, so Po- licemen O'Brien said this morning. ‘rhe charge against the accused ra{lroad men could not be Feard in the Police Court today, because the woman could not ap- pear. Dr. Kerr amputated the woman's leg, and he was assisted by Drs. Church, Has- brook, Parker, Bell und Smith, There was also a serious accident on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at the Massa- chusetts avenue crossing. The victim of this accident was Mr. William E. Walker of Richmond. He tried to get on a mov- ing train, and fell when he lost his footing, the wheels passing over his right leg. A pedestrian, who was near the scene of the ac:ldent, stopped the flow of blood as well as he could, and when the ambulance ar- rived the injured man was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where his leg was amputated. ee SPAIN'S NEW TARIFF. American Trade With Cuba Will Be Affected by It. Minister Muruaga of Spain says that one of the most important features of the new Spanish tariff will be its dealings with United States trade with Cuba, which trade was seriously affected by that feature of the new American tariff law abolishing reciprocity treaties, including the one with Spain. The cortes met on the 12th of this month, with the tariff question a leading issue. It inaugurates legislation through commit- tees, similar to the system of the Amer- ian Corgress. The tariff bill, therefore, will be constructed by a committee and af- terward debated by the cortes. The com- mittee stage is expected to occupy until next month, and Senor Maruaga says it may be February before the measure passes its final passages. He has received no intimation as yet as to the form of the oill as affecting the United States. In other quarters the belief is expressed that the American Congress, which will be in session through January and February, while the Spanish cortes is meeting, may take action to restore the trade relations with Cuba. This, it is said, could be ac- complished by admitting Cuban suger at a lower rate than the present 40 per cent ad valorem, in return for which the Span- ish tariff act undoubtedly would grant the United States a Cuban market for flout, breadstuffs, &c. ———_+e-+—_. A HOT FIGHT EXPECTED. More Elevated Ratiways to Be Built in Chicago. The incorporation at Springfield, IIL, yves- terday of two elevated raisways-marks the beginning of a hot fight between the ele- vated road system of Chicago. Both of the newly incorporated roads '/are down-town loops—the Chicago Central elevated rail- road, capitalized at $3,000,000, and the Union elevated railroad, with $5,000,000 vap- ital. The proposed line of the Union com- pany gives the Lake Street a line through the business center, connecting with the Illinois Central suburban trains to the south. The other road tacorporated—the Chicago Central elevated—is thought to be intended for a down-town loop for the Alley L running south, and the Metropoli- tan L running west, parallel with Yerkes’ Lake Street line. A merry war is expected between the two big coneerns,- the Con- solidated Metropolitan and-Alley roads on one side and Lake Street, L aai INinois Central on the other. anes Murder or Suic! About two months ago Clinton A. Wood- bury, a resident of Deering, Me., and gen- eral manager of the Portland, Me., Dry Plate Company, died. The autopsy by local physicians did not determine the cause of death satisfactory to the insur- ance companies, in which he held heavy policies, and the stomach and kidneys of the dead man were sent to Prof. Robinson of Bowdoin College for analysis. The pro- fessor reported yesterday that enough prus- sic acid had been found in the stom have caused death. There is evider special importance to support a theory of qurder or of suicide, and, taken tog: the case ts one of deep mystery in every detail. The dead man was insured, so it is claimed, for $100,000, A NEW INDICTMENT Will Be Drawn in the Now Famous Howgate Oase. DOUBTFUL OF THE OLD PAPERS Mr. Birney Says There Are Plenty of Witnesses Alive. NOT OUTLAWED ‘The intimation given in The Star several weeks ago that District Attorney Birney was not altogether satisfied with the in- dictments standing against Capt. H. W. Howgate and would seek to secure stronger gnes will probably be verified in a short time. From the time Capt. Howgate was rearrested in New York, last September, Mr. Birney wished it understood that he was not responsible for the indictments found thirteen years ago. The indictments, explained Mr. Birney, were prepared by Mr. Wm, A. Cook, who had been specially en- gaged by the Department of Justice, at the request of Col. Geo. B. Corkhill, who was then district attorney. - As told in The Star at the time, Mr. A. 8. Worthington, counsel for Capt. Howgate, a few weeks ago filed demurrers against all of the indictments standing against his client. Arguments on these demurrers will be made before Judge McComas, in Criminal Court No. 1, tomor- row morning, and if the demurrers should be sustained that would be an end of the indictments, and would, of course, result in the immediate release of the prisoner. Hence it was to provide against such a miscarriage of justice that Mr. Birney pro- posed to secure new -indictments against the defendant. Contrary to the general belief, there ts, Mr. Birney stated to a Star reporter this morning, no lack of living witnesses to send before the grand jury in the effort to secure the reindictment of Capt. Howgate. It is true, explained the district attorney, that a number of the witnesses named in the existing indictments have died since the prisoner escaped twelve years ago; but there are, said Mr. Birney, enough living and cbtainable ones on which to found new indictments. While he would not ad- mit, Mr. Birney would not deny having already summoned such witnesses for ex- amination by the grand jury. He admitted, however, that it was a course which he had practically concluded to take, and that, too, irrespective of whether the existing indictments should or should not be de- clared valid by Judge McComas. Referring to the published statement that the statute of limitation prevented a rein- dictment of Capt. Howgate, Mr. Birney re- marked that it was a mistake. The statute, he said, provided that no in- dictment shall be found three years after the alleged offense shall have been com- mitted. But, he explained, another section of the statute plainly provided that such limitation should not apply in the case of a fugitive from justice. There could be, said Mr. Birney, no denial of the fact that Capt. Howgate escaped from custody more than twelve years ago, and successfully eluded capture until last September. He therefore was confident that the prisoner could now be successfully reindicted, and that the subsequent indictments would he sustained. a ARCHBISHOP CHAPELLE ILL. Suffering From a Dangerous Attack of Pneumonia Contracted Here. A Santa Fe dispatch says: Archbishop P. L. Chapelle is dangerously ill of pneu- monia, contracted by exposure on his re- cent trip to Washington, where he a’ tended the national conference of Cath- olic bishups. Catholic circles in Washington and the entire diocese of Maryland are much ex- ereised over the illness of Archbishop Chap- elle, the announcement of which was tele- graphed from Santa Fe yesterday. The popular ecclesiastic is suffering from a dan- gerous attack of pneumonia growing out of a cold he caught while attending the meet- ing of bishops at the Catholic University two weeks ago. Archbishop Chapelle w: for many years the pastor of St. Matthew’ Church in this city, and while here was elevated to a bishopric and made coadjutor to the archbishop of New Mexico, whom he succeeded about a year ago. He was wide- ly beloved in Washington, and in the coun- cils of the church was recognized as an authority upon the doctrines of Catholicism whose advice was sought in all questions pertaining to them. He was born in France, but received his classical and theo- logical education in Baltimore, where he was ordained in 1863. In 1865 he was placed in charge of the church in Rockville, Md., whence he was transferred in 1870 to the pastorate of St. Joseph’s Church in Baltimore, where he remianed until he took charge of St. Matthew's parish in 1882. ‘At all the Catholic churches in this dio- cese yesterday prayers were said for his recovery, in compliance with the request made by Cardinal Gibbons Wednesday at the meeting of the Catholic clerj Which celebrated the patronal feast of St. Mary’s Theological Seminary in Baltimore. a “Butch” McCarver on the Stand. The only testimony of any great degree of interest developed in the trial of the alleged lynchers at Memphis yesterday was that of “Butch” McCarver, the “infidel” witness, against himself. “Butch” testified that he was a crapshooter, and that he had never hesitated to shoot craps with a negro, if he thought there was any inoney in it. He was examined at length on his sporting proclivities, and when he left the stand the audience was pretty well satis- fied that for total depravity the equal of the son of the sheriff, A. J, McCarver, is hard tg find. ——---s0e To Investigate Canndian Action. A special from Sandusky, Ohio, dated yesterday, says: The United States gun- boat Feesendem Capt. Hodson, was sight- ed off this port this afternoon, and is now anchored in the harbor. She is here to investigate the alleged unlawful moles- tation of American fishermen by the Cana- dian ram Petrel. Several days ago the ) Petrel, claiming that the Americans were fishing in Canadian waters, drove them away and seized their nets. Capt. Hodson of the Fessenden, in an interview, stated that a full investigation would be made. With Collector of Customs Herbert, he proceeded to get the affidavits of fisher- men whose nets were taken. see Unrest at Apia, Samoa, Advices from Apia, Samoa, date of No- vember 7, state that while there have been no recent active outbreaks, a state of political unrest continues, without any prospect of termination. The native reb- els are so far from subdued that many close observers believe that King Malie- toa’s government is doomed. The belief is becoming more general, too, that the in- fluential Germans are secretly aiding the rebel party with a view of placing it in power, thus rendering German annexation or a German protectorate easy of accom- plishment. The German warship Buzzard and the English cruiser Curacoa are stfil at Apia. ————-+02-— Verdict for $10,000 Given. In the case of Michael G. Cannon, who sued the Brooklyn City Railroad. Com- pany for $20,000 damages for the loss of the services of his wife Annie, the jury yesterday returned a verdict awarding the plaintiff $10,C00. In a previous suit for damages for personal injuries Mrs, Can- ron secured a verdict of $12,500 damages. -—— +04 A Woman Saed for Breach of Promise The unique spectacle of a man suing a woman for breach of promise of marriage has created a sensation at Centerville, Mich, Arthur Musselman of Mendon claims that Mrs. Solomon Dill encouraged his attentions ard finally proposed mar- riage to him, but now declares there was no engagement between them.
