RAINY IN THE NEW JERSEY TOWN ee Inclement Weather Does Not De- strov Enthusiasm. ——— PROGRESS OF PLAYING a PRINCETON, November 2.—A coll east- erly hail storm turning into rain broke er Princeton this morning soon after to dampen the ardor of the crim- endl the orange and black in their first foot hall match for six years. Quite a little betting was engaged in about the corridors of the hotels and stu- dent clubs, with odds in favor of Harvard, but what Cambridge money was present was held at not greater than 3 to 2 or 2 to 1. Harvard did not seem as confident of the gume as a few days before, and the wet grounds still further dampened their ardor in this respect as the long run around the end, which it was hoped would yesult in greater gains into Princeton's ter- ry, did not look prom'sirg. re Princeten team were reported diticn, with the exception of Riggs, the right guard, and Sueter, the quarter back. The former was still ahout on crutches, and Sveter had evidently not recovyer*d from his late injuries. The ercwd began to file into the field wbout 1 o'clock, with flags, banners and Jellow chrysanthemums, red pinks, badges and all of the showy paraphernalia that seems ind!spensable to a foot ball game. The speculators thronged the entrance to the grounds and seemed fully as anxious to buy as to sell tickets. It did not take long to get the cheering started, Princeton's “tiger” leading, but the five hundred Har- vard men made up in enthusiasm what they lecked in their numbers, and their “Rah, ruh, ran made a good showing against the ponderous Princeton che2ring. Shortly after 2 o'clock a w.lder cheering at ‘the south end of the grounds announced coming of the teams, and both sides vi with each other in the welcome of their fa- vorites. Captain Lea headed the tigers, while Brewer entered the field ahead of the red- legged young men from Cambridge. The men immediately began falling on the dozen balls that were thrown about the field, while the geal k'ckers stretched their legs by trial ks between the posts. however, soon called the nd the substitutes stripped the swea‘ers from their more fortunate com- ranions and retired to the side lines, while the teams lined up as follows: Harvard.

Pook, re- tired, of this city, was under arrest In New York about two hours yesterday afterncon on a charge made by a physician, and cor- roborated by her brother-in-law, that she was suffering from an hallucination. When arraigned on the charge in the Yorkville court she denounced her brother-in-law, and was discharged by the magistrate. It is said that Miss Pook was infatuated with a-young man named Henry Brandon, who was a clerk in the record ard pension office at the tire of the collapse of the old Ferd Theater building. He was well known in musical circles as the possessor of a goad tenor voice, and the two were often seen together. = Two months ago Brandon quitted Wash- irgton, and Miss Pook left home about the same time. They both went to New York. Her absence occasioned <larm at her home, and her brother-in-law learned last week that Brardon and his sister-in-law were bearding at East 16th street. Brandon, it was learned; was singing in a church chcir. Miss Pook was arrested yesterday after- noon on a warrant issued by Magistrate Brenn alleging that she was insane and un- able to properly take care of her property. She was arraigi ed under the name of Har- riet E. Parke. Her brother-in-law, George P. Frothingham, an architect of this city, was the complainant. In the affidavit it wes alleged that “Miss Pcok was under the hallucination that she bad keer. sent to save a certain young man frcm suicide by keeping him off the street and supporting him.’ The young man was Brandon. When the woman was questioned by Maz- istrate Cornell she said: “It is no sin to help a human being. It is no shame to live in the same house to- gether. Myself and friend occupy separate rccms. I love him and he intends to marry Vat evidence have you that this omen is insane?” asked Magistrate Cor- nell. “None, your koncr,” replied Dr. Bogart, who eppeured as complainart. “Where is her brother, whose name ap- beet on this warrant?” esked the magis- rete. “I dcn’t know,” replied Bogart. “Then I will discharge this woman,” said the magistrate. “She is perfectly sane, and there is not the slightest evidence produced to back up this warrant.” Brandon is given a bad character by Con- structor Pook and nis family, who claim that he has been and is now using undue it fluence over Miss Pook. it is said that Brandon's father refuses to previde for him as long as he continues his intimacy with Miss Pook. He is about twenty-five yezrs old, of medium height and build, and, besides showing the effects of dissipation, was poorly dressed. He was @}-parently in financial stress. it is generally agreed that the young weman is sane on all subjects except that or Brandon. ——.__ CHARGED WITH BIGAMY. Arraignment of the Young Woman Who Married Two Men. Among the prisoners brought up from jail today for arraignment before Judge Cox, in Criminal Court No. 2, was Maud Lilly, a handsomely attired and quite attractive young girl. The charge against her is that of bigamy, it being alleged in the indict- ment that she married here, on the 18th of last month, one Geo. W. Crosby, jr., being at the time the undivorced wife of John V. Goodman, to whom she was married at Camden, N. J., on the 2d ef last August. ‘The young woman was called upon to plead to the indictraent, but she declined to do so in the absence of her counsel, who {is out of the city. Judge Cox thereupon directed that a plea of not guilty be entered, and she was remanded to jail to await trial, being unable to give bail for her appear- ance. ‘The young woman, as heretofore stated in The Star, coes not deny having engaged in the two marriages, but claims that she was forced by her mother to marry Goodman, and that when she married Crosby, the man she preferred, she did not know that ane was doing wrong or was violating the —— BUCKET SHOP CASE. Hearing on the New Warrant Wil Take Place Next Friday. The so-callei “bucket shop” cese, in- volving a charge of setting up and main- teining a gaming device against Koppel Kurnitzxi, as printed in The Star at the time of the arrest, was called for trial in the Police Court tcday. This is the case in which the atrest was made at the in- stance of District Attorney Birney for the purpose of getting a decision from the courts upon the question cf “bucket shops.” Complaints had been made that large sums of money had been lost in some of the shops, and it was belleved by some of the losers that the quotations put up in seme of the shops had been doctored. When the case was called a large number of witnesses, including several government clerks, were called, but counsel moved that the warrant be quashed, for the reason that it did rot set out the nature of the clleged gambling device. Judge Miller listened to arguments, and reserved his decision. A rew warrant will be filed, and the case heard next Friday. = CANAL PROPERTY TRANSFERRED. Nearly 200,000 Feet of Real Estate Deeded to the Gas Company. Mr. Ckarlcs F. T. Beale, as trustee in the case of George S.

PROTESTSINNOCENCE Durrant Discussed Yesterday's Scene in Court, TALKS ABOUT HIS TESTIMONY His Strange Stary of the Lamont ~ Murder. COUNSEL WOULDN’T USE IT SAN FRANCISCO,: November 2.—Theo- dore Durrant, convicted of murder, is the same seif-posseased, quiet, iron-nerved man that has been tried for his life. He still maintains his innocence, and after being taken back to jail from the court room, said to a reporter: “They say that my dear little mother screamed when the ver- dict was announced. It's all like a dream to me. The first thing I remembered was that her arms were around my neck. Everything else was cruel, so sudden, so harsh. I fel: safe in her arms. I could stand any Injustice, any wrong, but for my mother and sister.” “What d'd you want to do or say just after the verdict was rendered?” “I wanted to get up and shout my in- nocence. Before God, I am innocent of that crime. I wanted to get up and call God to smite me where I stood if my heart and conscience were not as pure as, those who were howling with joy that I had been branded a murderer. I told every- thing honestly and fearlessly when I was on the stand. I even told things that ap- peared against me. Do you suppose if I were guilty that 1 would volunteer the state- ment about the stranger who approached me? I told it because it was true and I told everything that I could recollect. “When I was first arrested I gave my statement, and all I have said since has been materfally the same. I world have got up yesterday, but my mother, several friends and the chief jatlor closed in around me and held me down. Even so, I do not now know why I did not scream my protest above it all.” Attorneys Dickinson and Deuprey, who defended Durrant, insist that their client is an innocent man. They will ask next Friday fer a new trial, which will probably be denied by Judge Murphy. Then the case will be appealed to the supreme court on the ground that the judge erred in a num- ber of bis rulings during the trial. Attor- ney Deuprey, when speaking of the trial and verdict, sais “It was a newspaper fight, and the newspapers won.” Durrant’s Strange Story. Miss Carrie Cunningham, the reporter who testified in the Durrant trial that Dur- rant had told her 1 > saw Blanche Lamont murdered in the, belfry of Emanuel Church, and who said that Durrant showea her an envelope containing a statement to be opened after he was convicted, has made public her side of the story. She says that when she visited Dyrrant at the jail he told her a remaykable tale with the idea that she was to..pe.a@, witness for the de- fense. He said that.he had been sworn to secrecy by the murderers, but felt that if Miss Cunpinghant fi gave an inkling of what the story Was he would be released from his oath. Miss Cunningham agreed to this, and Durrgat ,told her the following story: 5 While T was ‘fixt Emanuel Church tie the sound to the hélfry’ and ascertained that Blanche Lamont Wa: urdered on the sec- ond landing. I encoijitered the murderers, promised never to_revéal what I had dfscov- «red and rushed down'stairs to George King. T had an appointment, with King and feared that he might go Sedtching for me. I was much dist ed éver what I had seen, and I felt nauseated, put T did ot send King tor bromo seltzer 'Hécause I wanted the edlicine. I sent MHtny/out of the ¢hurch, in give the guilty men a chance to the sunburners of ‘da noise. I followed s Cunningham ‘says Durrant told ‘her that the murderers exereised an unaccount- able influence over him, and swore to spirit his mother away ff he told what he had seen. He said that he had given the statement to his attorneys, but that they had decided not to. use it. He said that the story related to Miss Cunningham was practically the same as that contained in the statement, with the exception that the names of the murderers and a few details were omitted. geen ees SHOT HIs FATHER.

That upward movement which character- izes the Pennsylvania Ratlroad Company in all its policies, continually making it more and more a necessary factor to the conven- ience of the public, is noticeable in its latest departure here In Washington, by which the offices of Mr. Colin Studds, the southeastern passenger agent of the road, and his clerks have been removed from the depot on sth street to the northeast corner of G and 15th streets northwest. At this point, situated as it is on the main thoroughfare which connects uptown:with downtown, and con- venient of access to every section of the city, a handsome set of apartments have been fit- ted and supplied with every imaginable ap- pliance for the quick transaction of busi- ness. The front room, which is large and commodious, is flevoted to the selling of tickets by courteous and competent clerks to every point reached by the Pennsylvania line, and baggagé may also be checked here and sleeping car and Pullman accommoda- tions obtained by prospective travelers. In the rear of this apartment is a handsomely furnished room, occupied by the clerks, and in front of this, and facing G street, is the private office of Mr. Studds. Richly car- peted, wails hung with pictures, and fur- nished with simple but elegant taste, the apartment is well adapted to the uses of its genial and popular occupant. The ceilings of all the apartments are of embossed steel in panels, painted in soft tints, that add greatly to the artistic effect of the whole. SS Miss Gibson Gets a Verdict.

Only the Popull Are Making a Vigorous Campaign. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. LARNED, Kan., October 31, 1895. The political sky in Kansas looks bliz- zardy. Election day is at hand and “‘the oldest man in America couldn’t tell how the cat will swing” till the votes in the various counties are counted and strung on the string. There is no state election: this year, but there is one judge of the su- preme court to be voted for to fill a va- eancy, Judge Albert H. Horton, chief jus- tice for nearly twenty years, resigned from the bench several months ago, and Gover- nor Morrill filled the vacancy by appoint- ing Judge David Martin of Atchison. Judge Martin appears as an “indepen- Gent,” but he is in reality a stanch re- publican. The opponent of Judge Martin ts Charles Holliday of Topeka, a democrat. The Campaign. Each county in the state votes for county clerk, register of deeds, sheriff, treasurer, surveyor and coroner. In a few counties, where the republicans outnumber the oth- ers two to one, only a republican ticket has been put up. In half a dozen counties the democrats have indorsed the republi- can ticket, and a pop ticket is also in the field. In one county ‘the republicans and pops have fused. In one county the re- publicans have indorsed the democratic nominees. In mest of the counties the pops have a full ticket in the field, and they are ‘making a vigorous campaign. Their state’ central committee has had all the speakers that could be raked together in the field, and is fighting as though this was not an off year. The democrats and repub- licans are making a “still hunt” of it. Ex- cepting in a very few of the counties, they have not a speaker in the field, and in two- thirds of the counties of the state, not a democratic or republican speech has been made this fall. The pop party has lost adherents steadily all through the state. The Star correspon- dent attended the conventions and rallies of "9, again in "4, and has been at many of the conventions and rallies this year. In 83 outdoor meetings were the rule, he- cause no hall could hold the audiences. In "4 the halls seated all comfortably, even when Governor Lewelling was going about explaining his action in aiding the populist legislature do its work, and was accompan- ied by the speaker of that house. This year the populist speakers talk to empty benches. Ex-Congressman Davis spoke on the silver question in this city three weeks ago, and he didn’t draw as well as the Pickanniny Band that played against him on the street. The Senatorship. Senatorial candidates are occupying the attention of all classes of voters. Senator Ingalls is an avowed candidate for the place of Senator Peffer. He says that he could have won last winter “hands down,” instead of Lucian Baker, if he had but said the word, but that his ambition was to go back in the place that he once filled, and that he intends to go. It is the general opinion in the state that if he had come back among the people and made the effort four years ago that he is making now, he would have saved the ticket and his own head then. If the choice of a Senator could be made by a direct vote, there is no doubt that Senator Ingalls would win, for he is solid with the common people, but the politicians of the state no longer love him. They think he has not always played fair. His chief opponent among re- publicans is J. R. Burton, who came within ohe vote of getting it when Baker was elect- ed. Strange to say, silver, while the chief opic on the side, is not much discussed in pub- lic. Both of the old parties dread it, and prefer to make no particular record tili they find out what probable action will be taken by the national committees. Just now Kansas feels very giddy over the showing she makes in the census reports when sized up beside the antique state of Massachusetts. Kansas has a school for every 182 persons, a Sunday school for every 420, only one criminal for every 2,000, and an inerease of wealth during the decade of 40 per cent per capita.

Many b and girls have seen the fa- mous acior Joe Jefferson in his great play, “Rip Van Winkl that delightful story of the Catskill fairies, and in it that weird scene where he partakes of the spirits that the elves give him, making him sleep for twenty years. Well, there is a good story told of Jefferson in that particular scen> Once, being near some good tishing grounds, he spent the day drawing in the gamy trout, and was thoroughly tired when the curtain rolled up for the evening per- fermance. Things ncvel smoothly enough until he is supposed to fall asleep. Now, that sleep in fiction lasts twenty years, but on the stage about two minutes. This time, however, the two minutes were lengthened out into ten, much to the amusement of the eudience and provocation of the stage manager. Jefferson had really fallen asleep, and his snores, it is said, were quite audible beyond the footlights. Several remarks were fired at him by the audience, and finaliy the stage manager had to go beneath the stage and open a trap near where Jefferson was lying to try and wake him up. He called and called, but it was no use, and in desperation he succeeded in jabbing a pin into him, which made Jefferson jump up with a sharp cry, and quickly realize where he wa: ——+e+—____. LOGIC OF THE LITTLE ONEs. Knock-Down Arguments Used by Bright Young Philosophers. Congressman Cooper of Florida numbers among his most precious possessions a little son named Jim. He is a sturdy youngster, and paddles arcund all day on a bicycle, re- gardless of fails ind contusions. Jim, withal, is a great philosopher and giftea with rere Irgical powers. One day last winter he found a horseshoe in the street, and took it home just as he had picked it up. “Why, Jim,” said his mother, “what are you bringing that dirty old thing in here for?” “Oh, that's good luck,” replied the five- year-old hopeful, depositing his treasure. The next Suiday was rainy and sleeting, and Mrs. Cooper went to 8 o'clock mass. Just as she reached the Bancroft she met Jim and his sisters on their way to Sunduy school and the mass that followed. She concluded the weather was too bad for Jim to go out, even on a pious mission, so she tcck him back in the house. While they were going upstairs ‘the young man re- marked: “Mommer, didn’t I tell you that horseshoe was good iuck? Here's today, and I haven't got to go to-Sunday school or cnurch either!” A few weeks ago Jim was out playing, and growing warm, took off his reefer and laid it down somewhere. Boy-like, he for- got all about it, and when he went home without it, and was sent to look for it, couldn’t find it anywhere. A lady friend of the family heard of his misfortune, and ympathized with him, asking him at last where he had Icst it. replied Jim, with unfeigned as- tonishment at_the question, “if I knew where I lost it I could go and find it.” — Promotions and Appointments. Two important vacancies in the State De- partment have been filled by the appoint- ment of Walter M. Faison of North Carolina to be solicitor of the department, vice Mr. Dabney, resigned, and the appointment of Frank A. Branagan of Ohio to be chief of the bureau of accounts, vice Mr, Francis Kieckhoefer, resigned. Mr. Faison is at present chief of the con- sular bureau of the State Department, and is said to be well equipped for the office to which he has been transferred. Mr. Brana- gan is appointment and discharging clerk at the department of justice, an office he has held for several years. The President has also appointed William C. Herbert a passed assistant engineer in the navy, and James A. Minstrop to be post- master at Washington, Mo., vice James I. Jones, resigned. —_—__+ 2+ _- The Star and the Election.

Vario: Matters of Interest to Resi- dents Beyond Rock Creek. The strongly built vault tomb in the old Presbyterian graveyard of James and Martha Kincaid, people who in life were rich and prominent, has heen torn to pieces for the press bricks that were in it, and the same taken bolily-away. The 7 by 3 foot marble covering of the tomb was thrown into an excavation, no doubt pending another visit. Only three of the many vault tombs the place once had remain, and these are-being taken away piecemeal. The final revival service of the series held last night at the West Street Presbyterian Church _ was ane.of the most interesting of the series. Rev. Dr. Luccock, pastor of the Metropolitan . Presbyterian Church, chose as his text the fourteenth verse of the sixth chapter of St. Paul's epistle to the Gallatians. An enjoyable fancy masquerade ball was given on Halloween at Seminary Hall by the Misses Dale, assisted by the pupils of their dancing school. Bernard Dyer is a red-haired boy twelve years old, who when only nine years of age was the leader of an organized gang of juvenile crooks, known as the ‘Forty Thieves,” and was arrested at that time, but on account of his youth and the plead- ings of his mother, Judge Miller let him es- cape a prison sentence. The court's leni- ency had no effect whatever on him, for recently he renewed his old habits, and Precinct Detective Frank Burrows suc- ceeded in getting evidence against him in cases enough to send him to the peniten- tlary and local prisons for a quarter of a century, and recovered some of the siolen articles. When the boy appeared in court this morning his mother was xot present to plead his cause. Judge Miller heard the case and question- ed the boy. The youngster was told that he was liv: in a manner that would even- tually land him in state's prison, and in order to save him and make a man of him he would send him to the reform school during minority. ———— EMERY TO RESIGN. He Will Leave the Associated Chari- ties Free to Choose a Secretary. The dissension within the board of direc- tors of the Associated Charities has cul- minated in a situation which prompts Mr. L. S. Emery, the secretary, to decide to ten- der his resignation at the next meeting, on the 5th of November. “Immediately after submitting my annual report,” said Mr. Emery to a Star reporter today, “I shall tender my resignation as secretary of the Associated Charities. My object in doing this will be to clear the ground and leave the association entirely free to select another man if they desire to do so. I have decided to do this because I fear there is a feeling generally that I want to retain this position, which is entirely con- trary to the faci. It was in 1st that I first became interested in work for the poor. For twenty-nine years, every year and every month, without interruption, I have con- tinued in that work. For fourteen years I have been secretary of the Arsociated Char- ities. I assisted in the organization of the Associated Charities, and I have endeavored conscientiously and thorcughly to perform the duties of my place as a business man should, and as my annual.report will show convincingly, I think, that I have done. I certainly have not been engaged in the work Lecause of any advantage or salary coming to me. For the first five years there was ab- solutely no compensation. After that the pay of this place has varied from $40 to $60 @ month—last year I believe it was $825. Now, this certainly does not pay me for all the work there is involved in TI cannot afford for this amount te give almost my entire time to the duties of this position, and I never should have done so but for the further compensation in the motive which I had in helping the poor. I have always been interested in this work end I shall con- Unue to be interested in it, and I shall con- tinue to work with the Associated Charities, but I do not want any one to think that I am clinging to this position for what there is in it, and I shall accordingly tender my resignation.” It is understood that the action which Mr. Emery contemplates is the result of the severe criticism of his administration of the affairs of the office during the last meeting of the board, when Dr. Peck brought the matter to a well-defined issue. —_—___ ROBBED THE TILL. Three Youag Men Use “Kmock-Out- Drops” in Committing Crime. Henry Btoss, a German who keeps a sa- loon at No. 908 Ist street northeast, was enterta‘ned by three young men yesterday afternoon, as he suppose at their expense. but when they had departed, he discovered that h's entertainment had been costly te himself. One of the men was able tc speak German, and for this reason he soon got on friendly terms with the saloon keep. er and his wite. During the time they were in the saloon the proprietor went out and got shaved, and when he returned they not only congratulated him. upon his appear- ance, but treated him to beer, in which it is thought they put “knock-out” drops This was after they had tried the same trick on the wife. Mr. Bloss became ill, and was stretched on a sofa in a room in rear of the bar. and while he was being looked after by his wife, who was also sick, the men rifled the money drawer and got about $150 in cash and his receipt for his license deposit ot $40 with the excise board. ‘The police were called in, but the strangers had escaped, and it is thought had gone of to Baltimore. Mr. Bloss was ill for a few hours, but under the care of a physician ne has recovere1. —___ THE LATE H. M. PEARSON'S WILL. men Ordered to Be Sent to the Cir- cuit Court for Jury Trial. In the matter of the contest over the estate of the late Henry M. Pearson, the following issues were ordered by Judge Hagner today to be sent to the Circuit Court, to there be tried by a jury: Was the will of July 12, 1895, duly executed and attested? Was the testator capable at that time of executing a valld deed or contract? Was the will executed under the undue in- fluence of suggestions, importunities or per- suasions of any person or persons when the mind of the testator was in such a dis- eased or enfeebled state as to be unable to resist the same? And was the execution of the will procured by the fraud or misrep- resentation of any person or persons, act- ing either. of their own volition or under the. direction of others? The contest over the cstate was inaug- urated by Miss Annie Pearson, a sister of the deceased, who charged that the will was procured through the undue influence of Miss Sarah 12.

Moderate Selling of the Interna- tional Issues, TODAY'S SESSION WITHOUT FEATURE The Export Mcvement to Domi- nate Speculation. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Eventing Star. NEW YORK, Noveniber 2—Disappoint- ment at J.ondon’s failur2 to respond to last night’s predictions of an impreved demand resulted in moderate selling of the inter- national, issues this morning, but otherwise the Cay’s short session was void of signifi- cant features. The electicn holiday on ‘Tuesday will, in all probability, be precede? by a disinterested market, in which values will be apprised almost exclusively by ‘the professional eement. The export movement, particularly of cot- ton, will be the dominant factor in specu- lation for the immediate future, as the threatening attitude of the foreign exchange market must be overcome as a condition precedent to improvement in stock values. If cotton goes out freely exchange rates will naturally recede from the exporting point and railroad earnings will be forced into notice as legitimate incentives to im- provemert. The several more important systems have made encouraging showings for the month of September, and reliable estimates of October reports indicate a more positive demonstration of prosperity. St. Paul will probably show an increase in gross for the latter period somewhere in the neighbor- hood of $900,000, and Burlington is expected to eclipsed this showing. Early next week the stockholders of the Distillers’ Company will be given the priv- ilege of subscribing to the stock of a new distributing company. The rivalry in the tobacco trade and liti- gation relative to the reorganization of the Chicago Gas companies will furnish in- centives to special movements in each of these prcperties. The new T-unk Line agreement now be- ing adopted by the lines in that associa- tion is said to be exerting a favorable influ- ence abroad, which, coupled with a decreas- ing tendency to sell our securities, should bring London into the local situation as a desirable bull ally. The features of specu- lation are optimistic, the opposite view heving no currency outside of the profes- sional room element. The bank statement reflects a decrease in both Icans and deposits, a cordition not in- icative of business prorperity up to the fearon’s standpoint. On the other hand, the gain of over a million in specie is en- covraging at this time of apprehension for the federal gold reserve. —— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest wad the closing prices of the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New Ycrk stock exchange.
