Gon- zalez of New York, ancillary executors of Ignacio Ma Zangroniz, deceased, formerly of Havana, Cuba, have filed a bill In equity against Benjamin F. Leighton, administra- tor of the estate of Zangroniz. The paper sets forth that a certain Baron Kessel and a certain Sebastian de Lassa or Lasa were claimants before the court of commtssion- ers of Alabama claims, and that after their death, beth of whom died during the pendency of the claims and both died intes- tate, the court of Alabama claims rendered a judgment in favor of Kessel and Lasa for $1,19 principal and interest, a@ total of $6,504.29. There not, ho ever, enough left out of the appropriation to pay this and other judgments, and there was a pro rata made, so that the judg- ment was reduced to $2,201.31, which the court ordered to be paid. The bill claims that the last mentioned sum was paid to Mr. Leighton on January 27, 1887, and, less certain dis ments, 1s still in his hands. ‘The bill further asks that Mr. Leighton be direeted to appear and answer such inter- seacitorien a ay be put to him, end to y all the portion of the sum of $2,291.31, Jor which he remains justly chargeable to the complainants.

Mr. Worthington Not Well Enough to Continue Today—Both Sides Are Confident. Sickness of ore of those engaged in the trial of Capt. Henry W. Howgate again caused a postponement of the trial today. This time it was the illness of one of the counsel, Mr. A. S. Worthington, who, with Mr. Jere M. Wilson, represents the defen- dant. A letter from Mr. Worthington’s physician stated that his client was con- fined to his bed by a bad cold. The doc- tor informed Judge McComas that Mr. Worthington’s illness was not serious, and that he would be able to resume his du- ties on Monday. The defendant's counsel, it was explained by his clerk, was suffer- ing from the grip. After consulting with Mr. “Wilson and District Attorney Birney, Judge McComas explained the cause of Mr. Worthington’s absence to the jury, stating that he very much regretted being compelled to again delay the trial. But, sald the court, Mr. Wilson had assured him that he was un- prepared to proceed in Mr. Worthington’s absence on so short a notice, and the t would, therefore, be adjourned until Mon. day morning, when it was more than probable that Mr. Worthington would be well enough to attend. Judge McComas thereupon discharged the jury until that time, cautioning the jurors particularly not to talk about the case among them- selves or with others, and directing them to permit no one to talk about the case in their presence. Judge McComas subsequently informed counsel that the trial must proceed Monday morning, whether Mr. Worthington is then able to attend ccurt or not. Both Sides Confident. It is an open secret that counsel for the defendant are very confident of a conclu- sion of the trial favorable to their client, notwithstanding the equally confident con- trary belief of the prosecution. The con- tention of the defense, it is believed from their examination of Auditor Van Every of the Western Union Telegraph Company yesterday, and of other witnesses for the government, is that the check fer ‘$11,S00, mentioned in the two indictments en which the defendant is now being tried, was given ir payment of previously disputed claims of the telegraph company. In support of such 2 belief itis pointed out that the de- ferse have not once dented that the check Was given aad paid, the defendant, how- ever, maintairing that he did »ot receive the money, and intimating that the check was regularly forwarded to the Washing- ton manager of the company for transmus- gion to the company’ treasurer at New York. Whether the gompany did or not receive the check, the defense claim, is an immaterial question, it being incumbent upon the gevernment, they assert, to af- tirmatively shew beyond any and all doubt that the defendant received the money for his own use, and that he forged the name of Treasurer Nochester of the tele- graph company to the missing voucher. Expects to Prove. Such things the defense confidently say the prosecution cannot show, while District Attorney Birney, just as confidently, says he can and will show. One of the surpris- ing things in the trial, it is said, is the fact that the defense oftered no objection to the introduction in evidence of the phoio- graphic reproduction of the missing vouch- er. In explanation, it is said that the defense wisned to have it shown to the jury that the missing voucher was regu- larly approved by the then chief signal officer, the late Gen. Myer; their contention being that if the voucher was forged, it was forged by some one other than the de- fendant. Another contention of the defendant will be, it is already evident, that he never was in point of law a fugitive from justice, and, it is said, quite a number of witnesses will be called by the defense for the pur- pose of showing, if possible, that the de- fendant’s whereabouts was fully known to the authorities during the years between Fis escape, April, S82, and his apprehen- sion Jast September, and that no eflort was ever made to arrest him until last fall. FIGHTING EACH INCH. Howgnte’s Counsel Argued Over Tele- graph Payments Yesterday. In the Howgate trial yesterday afternoon, after The Star’s account closed, the dis- trict attorney recalled Auditor Van Every of the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany, when Mr. Worthington proceeded to cross-examine him. To the best of his knowledge and belief, the witness said, the company never re- ceived the sum of $100,000 directly from the signal service office. Mr. Orton was presi- dent of the company from 1868 to 1578, and Nervin Greene from 1878 to 18¥3. Mr. Or- ton and the late electrician of the com- pany, Geo. B. Prescott, the witness said, had visited the signal service otlice, but he said that he did not know of them recciv- ing a voucher for £100,000, Mr. Worthingten asked the witness if he ‘knew that Gen. Myer and Capt. hiowgate on one hand, and President Orton and Mr. Prescott on the other, had met at the New York office of the telegraph company for the purpose of settling disputes as to rates and amounts due the company. Mr. Birney objected, on the ground that it was an immaterial matter. An Argument. Mr. Wi'scn explained that the matter was rot one of disputes in the matter of rates. But the defendant expected to show, inti- mated Mr. Wilson, that during the contro- versy certain claims of the company were withheld, creating an accumulating bal- ance which the company claimed was jyst- ly due it. Lf the defendant could show that the jury would have the right to assume that the $11,00 voucher in question was in payment of such a balance. To show the disputes in question, Mr. Wilson ar- gued, was proper. Judge McComas, however, held that the matter was too remote, the defense noting an exception. Mr. Van Every then recalled that there was paid the company at one time a single voucher of $100,000. “Then, Mr. Van Every,” remarked Mr. Worthington, “if your memory was so de- fective a few moments ago as to prevent your recollection of such a large payment, is It not probable that so small an amount as $11,800 would escape you “Yes, sir,” replied the witness, “it is probable.” : Regular War. The witness, having stated that the sig- nal service office had cut the claims of the telegraph company several hundred dollars a month, he replied, in answer to an in- quiry of Mr. Worthington, that he could not say that Mr. Orton or Treasurer Ro- chester did not know of it. But he was, he sai confident that Mr. Whitney, the Washington agent of the company, did not know of the cuts. Then, for the purpose of showing that there was a regular war between the com- pany and the signal service office over rates, and that the company threatened to cease doing business with the office, Mr. Worthington renewed his inquiries as tc disputes between the company and the office, and adjustments of the differences during 1878, 1579 and 1880. Mr. Birney withdrew his objection when the witness said that he knew of no con- troversy, and believed that there was none. Checks for the company were sent, said the witness, by the signal service office to Mr. Whitney, the Washington manager of the company, who transmitted them to the treasurer of the company at New York Letters to Mr. Whitney from the signal service office and from him to the com- pany during the fall cf 1879 had been de- stroyed by a fire. At the conclusion of Mr. Van Every's testimony, Treasurer Rochester of the -om- pany was sworn, when an adjournment was taken until this morning. —<—<——_— Box Matchless Cream. Butter, $1.60. D.Wm.

AMUSEMENTS. Mrs. Potter and Mr. Bellew.—The coming of two artists, such as Mrs. Potter and Mr. Kyrle Bellew, is an event sufficiently im- portant to attract the attention of the thea- ter-going public. Their engagement begins next Monday night. They will be supported by an exceedingly strong company. Mrs. Potter has long been recognized in the eastern world as a great artist. Her first triumph was made in Sidney, and since then she has played In Melbourne, in India, South Africa and all of the British posses- sions in the orient. Mr. Bellew is a ro- mantic actor of recognized ability and has played in every country in the civilized world. The repertoire for the week will be “Charlotte Corday,” their latest success, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights, and at the Wednesday matinee “Francilion,” a comedy, by Alex- andre Dumas fils, at the Saturday matinee, and Zola’s great play, “Therese,” on Satur- day night. ‘The Stoddard Lectures.—The incompara- ble Stoddard, after returning from foreign lands and appearing in Brooklyn, Philadel- phia, Chicago and Boston, will now return to this city, to give the lectures which have won him fame and fortune elsewhere. The new series will consist of five, which will be given at the Academy of Music in duplicate courses: Course A onthe evenings of February 11, 15, 19, 21, and course B on the evenings of February 12, 14, 18, 20, 22. The charms of life in European cities, the grand scenery of the Alps, and of the land of the midnight sun, and the thrilling real- ism of the world’s greatest dramatic spec- tacle will furnish the attractions of the series, which will be fully illustrated. The fact that there are to be but two courses this year will remind the public that it will be necessary to promptly attend the sale which opened this morning. Already a large number of course tickets have been secured. “The Prodigal Father.’ ‘The Prodigal Father,” by Glen McDonough, which will come to Butler's Bijou Theater next week, is brimful of amusing situations and bright dialogues. The company is a strong one and includes such favorites as William Jerome, the famous parodist; Ned Monroe, Chas. J. Stine, Frederick V. Bowers, Harry Cottrell, Thos. Sedgwick, Miss Nellie Sen- nett, Marjorie Fair, Jeanne Graves, Laura Thorne and little Elsie Lower. Uncut Leaves.—There will be readings from original unpublished writings by David Christie Murray of London, Mr. Gil- bert Parker of Canada, John Fox, jr., of Kentucky, auther of “A Cumberland V detta,” and E.

Green, Gan- n, Quandt, Herold, Palmer, Rudden, Schwartz, Burns, Trainer, Berberich, and, Delan, Nelan, Bennett, Howard, and R- Shea. Albaugh’s Grand Opera House.—Otis Skinner appeared at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House last night in “The King's Jester.” The play is one of substantial merits, in a literary sense, and possessing the picturesque qualities which appeal to thé eye as well as to the intelligence. Mr. Skinner justified the esteem in which he is held by many, in the leading role. The p.ay has an abundance of dramatic force, and the company acquitted itself in a creditable manner. “The King’s Jester’ is unquestionably a valuable feature of Mr. Skinner's repertoire, t only because of its intrinsic merits, but because of the favorable conditions under which it pre- sents his talents as an actor. - Y. M. C, A—Heraut M. Keretchjian of Constantinople, and secretary-at-large of the Phil-Armenic Society of the United States, will speak tonight in the parlors of the M. C.

Deulers Must Not Use Stamped and Registered Bottles. Judge Miller made a ruling yesterday which will interest all persons in this city who are engaged in bottling beer, mineral waters and other liquids. Mrs. Sarah Rosenzweig and John H. Schleuter were de- fendants in the cases, and it gvas charged that they used bottles belonging to Charles Jacobson, proprietor of the Arlington Bot- tling Company, corner of 27th und K streets. The bottles in question were reg- ularly advertised in The Star for two weeks, the advertisement giving a full d scription of the bottles, and, following thi they were regularly registered in the Su- preme Court of the District. Mr. Jacobson is an extensive dealer in stamped bottles, and all are registered. But hundreds of them never reach the es- tablishment where they belong, and the less was so great that Private Detective Charles E. Flinders was called in to make an investigation. He soon located many of the missing bottles, and these cases were brought in to test the law, they being the first cases of the kind tried in the Police Court for a number of years. There is a bottling exchange in this city now, and the defendants, it is said, not members of the organization. For that reason their bottles are not handled by the other dealers, and the other dealers will not allow them to use their bottles. Judge Miller heard the evidence of the private detective concerning the facts, ard Mr. Jacobsen explained how he had wought the bottles and registered them, producing in evidence a copy of The Star containing the advertisement. Defendant Schleuter said that it had been the custom of ihe dealers to handle what- ever bottles came their way, and Mrs. Rosenzweig claimed that she bought tke bottles from another dealer when she went in business. Judge Miller said that under the law all dealers are prohibited from filling 1eg- istered bottles belonging to another, ard when they do so they are liable to a fine. As this case was brought merely to test the law sentence was suspended and the defendants gave their personal bonds. Hereafter in these cases the court will enforce the penalty. groooeeneenersonereseoonnes z Nervous and Weak.

First Smoker. The first smoker of the Georgetown Cath- olic Union came off last night end wes @ great success. The rooms of the organ- ization were filled throughout the entire evening. The program that had been ar- ranged by the committee went off without a hitch. The entertainment was the first of a series to be given during the cold months in order to keep the interest in the club sustained and in the front rank of progresstve organizations. Pipes and sandwiches, with home beverages, served in a tasty manner,were enjoyed throughout the program. Messrs. Joseph C. Murray and Weedman rendered a duct that took well; Mr. R. C. Balinger gave a tenor solo, and sclos were given by Messrs. Robt. Inglehart, Mart. S. Wright, Chas. Goodchild, Elmer Jasper, J.C. Murray, Burris Waters, Wm. Sullivan and Fahey.

The sermon, on “Jesus of Nazareth Passeth By,” was an effort that had its effect upon the big assemblage. Tonight the sermon will be on “Man's Seven Masters,”’ viz., seif, business, soci- ety, the world, flesh, the devil and Christ. This is an original sermon, and will no deubt tell upon all. On Sunday at 3 p.m. there will be a spe- cial sermon to the converts of the series. On Sunday night the grzat revival will close. ptem. The box party held by Independent Lodge, No. 14, I. O.

The report comes from «Hancock, on the Chesapeake and Ohio -canal, that some malicious person filled the pipe of a ped- dler day before yesterday with a mixture of tobacco and powder, and that, when a match was applied there was an explosion that macerated the man’s cheek and seri- ously impaired his sight.

ROOME’S RESIGNATION. It Has Been Accepted With Regret by the Commissioners. The Commissioners last evening accepted the resignation of Mr. William Oscar Roome, chief of the special assessment di- vision of the District of Columbia, which he has voluntarily tendered in order to enable him to accept the position as cashier of the Ohio National Bank of this city. The Commissioners addressed a letter to Mr. Roome, in which they say: + “The Commissioners feel that any words of commendation would be superfluous in view of the almost lifelong service you have faithfully and acceptably rendered in your responsible, exacting office, but assure you of their appreciation of the assistance your intelligent aid has been to ihem in disposing of many perplexing problems counected with the branch of the District government of which you had charge. They feel a kindly interest in your future labors, which will no doubt be performed with the same fidelity and ability which distinguished your management of the of- fice you have resigned.” Mr. Roome leaves the service of the Dis trict today to accept a more lucrative pot tion in private life. His successor will prebably be appointed when Commissioner Truesdell returns to the city, on Manday. Mr. Gordon W.
