Cleared on Two Indictments, but Eight More Hanging Over Him In the Jury Room. In view of the repeated declarations of Foreman Cissel of the Howgate jury that an agreement was an utter impossibility, the announcement at noon yesterday, through The Stars bulletin, that Capt. Howgate had just been found not guilty, was a matter of universal surprise. When the jury breakfasted in their room at the city hall at 9 o'clock yesterday morning an agreement appeared as far from possible as ever. But in about an hour and a half from that time the dead- lock was broken and an agreement had been reached. At noon, after being out seventy-one hours and fifteen minutes, the jury wearily filed into the court room, and, in reply to the inquiries of Clerk Downs, Foreman Cissel stated that while the jury found that Capt. Howgate had been a fugitive from justice, tiey found him not guilty on the two indictments at tssue. ‘the announcement was received with some slight applause, which the bailiff promptly checked, and then, after the jury had been polled, Judge McComas dismissed them by remarking sharply and shortly: ‘“Gentle- men of the jury, you are discharged.” For @ moment or two the jury stood perfectly sull, apparently undecided just what to do or say. Then they slowly filed out, went upstairs to their room, packed up their satchels and bundles and hurried home. Meanwhile, the defendant had been warmly congratulated by his daughter, counsel and a few friends, when he was returned to the cage below thg court room, having been remanded to jai!’ by Judge McComas to wer the several indictments still stand- against him. Getting Coansel. When, about 11:20 yesterday morning, Judge MeComas ascended the bench and directed Crier Crouse to communicate with the jury, no one had any idea that the reply of Foreman Cissel would be any other than that sent down the day before. ‘The defendant and his counsel, Messrs. A. S. Worthfmgton, James C. Heald and Jere M. Wilson vere present, and Miss Ida Hewgate, the defendant's daughter, sat beside him, bright and cheerful, and whi: pering encouraging words into her father’s A Star reporter and one or two more aper men were also present, and in ‘ourt room some twenty or more other were seated. The prosecution, r, WaS not represented, District At- torney Birney and his assistant, Mr. Lewin, having gone to church, believing that no agreement would be reached. In a mo- ment or two Crier Crouse returned and stated to Judge McComas that the jury had at length agreed. An effort was then made to secure the attendance of Mr. Bir- ney er Mr. Lewin. They could not be foun er, and then Mr. Tracey L. » one of the district attorney's as- was telephoned for. He sent that he would come to the court house as quickly as possible, but it was five minutes of noon before he reached Meantime, court, counsel and defendant had impatiently awaited his coming. The suspense told severely upon the defendant, but, under the encouraging words of his faithful and confident daughter and coun- vel, he bore the strain remarkably well. Upon Mr. Jeffords’ arrival Judge MeComas ted that the jury be brought down. ney came into the court reom just as the bells proclaimed the noon hour, and their appearance fully told of their long con- finement. In reply to Clerk Downs’ in- quiry, Foreman 1 smilingly replied that they had agreed upen a verdict. As to the s under the statute of limitations, by ed they had found for the United States, ning that the jury that Capt. ate had fled from How; , and had, therefore, been a fugitive ncerted the deferidant and his counsel, and the general ation was that Foreman Cissel would t state that the jury had found the de- dant guilty. But, when the clerk had in- how they found on the indictment 'g the embezzlement of the sum o 311.8) on the 6th day of September, 1s ied that ws had found a defendant not guilty, anc the for next stated that’ they found th defendant not guilty of forging _ the name of Treasurer Rochester of the West- ern Enion Telegraph Company to a voucher dated October 15, 1579, covering the alleged embezzled sum, a h of relief escaped Howgat ughter and coun- ‘land @ slight ripple of applause broke ferth from the few spectate ‘The applause was instantly checked by the bailifts, and then, at the request of Mr. Jeitords, the jury w polled. ch meim- ler of it replied that his verdict was that announced by the foreman. The verdict recerded, Judge McComas turned toward the jury, and discharged them, with no comment. The Difference. At first the members of the jury absolute- ly refused to make any statement when asked as to the cause of their long delay in reaching an agreement, explaining that they had agreed to have nothing to say. It gradually leaked out, however, that from the first ballet up to their last, they had differed as to whether Capt.

The building at the corner of 17th and F streets which was Gen. Grant’s headquar- ters a number of years ago, and which is now the headquarters of the Red Cross Society and the home of Miss Clara Bar- ton, came near being destroyed by ‘fire about 10:30 o'clock last night. It is said that a servant in the house threw a lighted match near a can of gasoline or kerosene and caused an explosion. This was in the kitchen, ard so rapidly did the flames spread that the servant was unable to get them under control. Sergeant Keefe was not far away when the cry of “fire” was raised, and soon after he had turned in the alarm several engines responded. When the firemen reached the house the flames had spread to the dining rocm, but no trouble was anticipated, as the firemen were certain that they would extinguish the flames before they spread any further. Miss Barton and the other occupants of the house, most of whom had retired, lost no time in gathering together their valua- bles and leaving the burning house. Some of the-occupants of the house became ex cited and threw articles from the w dows in their efforts to save them. In less than thirty minutes the firemen had the flames extinguished, and the occupants of the house were able to retire. The damage, it is-estimated, amounted to less than $1(W). The building is owned by a daughter of Gen. Caldwell. For several years it was an annex of the War Department. ——— AFFAIRS GEORGETOWN. Some Local Netes From Across Rock Creek.

The Italian Opera Season.—The season of Italian opera that closed at the Grand Opera House Saturday: night with Mas- senet’s “Manon” was in seme respects the most enjoyable ever held here. There never was such a performance given in this city as that of Verdi's “‘Otelio”:on Friday night, and those who listened to. the great vocal work and witnessed the splendid acting of Tamagno, Maurel and Eames, were glad that the company had come here. That performance will linger dn the memory alongside of Patti’s “Traviata,” Sembrick’s “Lucia” and Nilsson’s‘ “Margueritte.”” In many respects it will take precedence of these performances, for in them the recol- lection is of individual excellence, while in “Otello” there were three notable fig- ures, and besides, there was a complete- ness as to minor characters, chorus and or- chestra that rounded out the whole into a perfect form. “Lohengrin,” too, was an excellent performance, as was that of “Manen,” but as to “Faust,” given on Sat- urday afternoon, there was loud and just complaint. This opera, one of the most popular in the entire repertoire of the company, was announced with a star cust, including Melba and the two de Reszkes. People rushed for seats, and the result was that the opera house held the largest audi- ence that ever assembled wititin its walls. Every seat on every floor was occupied, and admission tickets were sold until fur- ther disposition of them was stopped by the police. ‘This large assemblage witnessed Gounad’s beautiful work, with only one of the artists announced in the cast. Mme. Melba was there, but neither of the de Reszkes put in an appearance. The place of Edward de Reszke was ably filled by M. Plancon, and so his absence was not so much to be re- gretted, but Sig. Russitano, who was sub- stituted for Jean de Reszke, was clearly outclassed in the part of Faust. The an- ncyance, disappointment and disgust of the people, some of whom felt that they had been buncoed, found vent in expressions that were anything but complimentary to the management of the company. The ex- planation given as to the cause of the ab- sence of the de Keszkes was accepted by a few, but the majority felt that they had heen deceived. The performance of the opera was not what was expected, not t the audience had a yight to expect.

The Deceased Was a Well-Known Writer on Financial Questions. Funeral services over the remains of the late Samuel Dana Horton, who died at Garfield Hospital on Saturday of Bright's disease, were held this afternoon at St. John’s Church. The interment will be at Pomeroy, Ohio. Twelve days ago Mr. Hor- ton came to this city at the request of leading members of the administration for consultation upon the financial situation, and was stricken by the disease from which he had long suffered. Mr. Horton was a native of Ohio, was born jn 1844 and was a son of Valentine D, Horton, formerly a member of Congress from Ohio. He graduated from Harvard in 186!, resided for a time in Pomeroy, Ohio, and has of late years lived most of the time abroad, in England and the con- tinent, where he, perhaps, was better known than in America. He had written much for the magazines upon financial questions. His best known books were “The Silver Pound,” published in London in 1889, and “Silver in Europe,” published in 1892. Mr. Horton was a delegate to the first monetary conference and was made secretary of that body, and unofficially attended the | conference, where his advice was of great value to the delegates from the United States. The term “bimet- allism’ was distasteful to him and he ad- yee international parity of gold and silver. Friends say that overwork was the real cause of his death. He leaves a wife, who is at Bath, England, and a son, at school in Switzerland. ——_—_— The Golden Cross.

Jackson City drinking saloons did a flour- ishing business Saturday night, when a large crowd gathered at this lawless set- tlement to witness the burning of twu frame buildings on the east side of the track. These buildings were constructed and used for gambling purposes. In one a game of policy was conducted, while in the other the more wealthy gamble:s used to play keno and poker. But busi- ness of this kind has been dull for some time, especially when the races are not being held, and the buildings were tem- porarily vacant. As it happened, there was a-northwest- wind towing at the time and this prevented the'fire from spreading acress the track and destroying the entire village. Besides these two buildings a stable owned by John Wills was also de- stroyed. Just how the fire originated is not known, but it is thought that tramps had probably caused the trouble in an effort to Keep themselves warm. When the fire was discovered a telephone message was sent here for assistance, but Chief Parris did not respond, and so the only thing done by the crowd across the river w to prevent the flames from spreading ‘0 other buildings.
