WAR TO THE KNIFE The Fight Against Violators of the Oleomargarine Law is Begun. CIVIL SUIS PRECEDE CRIMINAL CASES Special Internal Revenue Agents Are Collecting Evidence. IMPOSITION MUST CEASE The war upon the persons in the District of Columbia who are alleged to be engaged in the practice of selling oleomargarine, butterine and other imitations of butter, contrary to the requirements of the laws re- lating to the sale of such manufactures, begarsin earnest today. The Evening Star, in its issue of Saturday, November 2, stated that there was a widespread and general violation of these important statutes in the District of Columbia, and that measures were to be taken, both in the civil and cri inal departments of the local courts, which would undoubtedly result In eradicating the evil here and prove such a salutary lesson that offenders in the future would be few and far between. The law governing the sale of oleomargarine and other imitations of butter provides that each tub or package containing such manufacture shall be plain- ly marked with the character of its contents, and that each portion sold, no matter huw small it mey be, must be plainly stamped with the same information. Some time ago several dealers were arrested and arraigned in the Police Court for failing to meet the requirements of this law. They were held for the grand jury and Indictments followed. The cases were never brought to trial, however, because District Attorney Birney, at the direction, it is said, of the ‘Treasury Department authori- ties, went before Justice Cole and notle prossed the cases. It was generally under- stood that this action on the part of the treasury officials was brought about by th fact that the accused parties paid the gov- ernment the full ‘money penalty provided by the law in order to eScape the impris- orment feature, which a public trial would have probably added to their sentence. Effect of The Star’s Position. The publication of these facts in The Star of November 2, and the editorial which followed in the issue of November, 5, brought the Treasury Department people was a newspaper in Washington which pro- posed to expose and push to punishment those persons who were violating the laws of the United States and imposing upon the purchasing public and at the saine time swindling such purchasers extensively by selling them cheap imitaticns of butter un- der the guise of the genuine article and re- celving the price usually paid for the lat- ter. The commissioner of internal revenue, Mr. Miller, and his deputy, Mr. Wilson, as well as Chief Colquitt of the division of revenue agents, had not been acauainted with the general and widespread existence of the evi! in this city and District until the ap- pearance of the article in The Star, and they Immediately proceeded to take’ vigorous steps to bring those who were engaged in the imposition to justice and punishment. There 1s no further need for continued silence on the part of The Star now, for the internal revenue officials have been engaged for sev- eral days past in securing samples of what is sold for butter at nearly every market, grocery and provision store in the city of Washington, and the hundreds of samples thus procured are now undergoing analysis. ‘The local internal revenue authorities re- ceived orders several days ago from the main office of this district in Baltimore in- structing them to use every effort to secure samples of the butter or what was repre sented to be butter sold everywhere in Washington. Bowen, the Terror, is Here. Chief Colquitt at the same time ordered Special Agent Pennell, who has been engag- ed in prosecuting offenders against the oleo- margarine laws in Onlo, and Special Agent Bowen from Covington, Ky., to this city to take charge of and direct the work. Special Agent Bowen !s known among the dealers and manufacturers of oleomargarine, but- terine and other imitations of butter as their most otdurate official enemy, and they have a wholesome dread of him.He has been pres- ent in Washington since Monday afternoon, Special Agent Pennell having preceded him by a couple of days, and the result of his investigations here as well as those of the others who are engaged In the campaign against imposition and fraud will be shown in a few days, when criminal prosecutions will be brought against the very large num- ber of those who have sold oleomargarine in violation of the laws governing such sales. It is the intention of the government officials to push all cases thus brought with vigorous energy, and each separate case will be fortified by the testimony of the person who purchased the alleged but- ter from the persons charged with selling it and the analysis of the sample so pro- cured sworn to by expert chemists, who | @re now engaged upon the analysis. Civil Suits Brought Today. This afternoon the first broadside into the ranks of the alleged violators of the cleomargarine law was fired on the civil side of the courts, when four suits were instituted by Mr. Clarence A. Brandenburg for James F. Oyster against Frederick W. Emrich; for Charles C. Barber against Frederick W. Emrich; for James F. Oyster against Peter C. Garden, and for Samuel T. Murray against Peter C. Garden. The complaints in the cases brought by Mr. Oyster recite that the defendants, Emrich and Garden, the former of whom conducts various places of business in the city of Washington under the name of the Emrich Beef Company, and the latter of whom | proprietor of Various places of busine did, on the Sth of October, 1895, and on divers other days and times’ between that date and the date of the commencement of the sult, at the places of business conduct- ed by them “wrongfully, knowingly, in- juriously, decettfully and fraudulently, and against the wiil and withcut the Hcense or corsent of the said plaintiff, vend and sell to divers persons for their own lucre and gain large quantities of a certain manu- factured substance or compound contain- ing a large proportion of volatile acid, krown as butyric acid, which sald manu- factured substance or compound was at said time and still is generally known to the public and called olcomargarine, which the said defendaats then and there false fraudulently, deceftfully and wrongfull represented to be part of the butter product of ercameries controlled, vended and sold by the plaintiff, and known to the public as fancy, Elgin creamery butter.” Other Serious Declarations. The declarations proceed to recite that by reason of these sales on the part of the defendants the plaintiff has been hindered and prevented from selling and vending and disposing of large quantities of the butter product of the creamerfes controlled by him which he would otherwise have sold. He also claims that the oleomar- garine was falsely, fraudulently and de- celtfully representel to be Oyster’s fancy Elgin creamery butter, and that such fraudulent representation has caused in- jury to the plaintiff in the sum of $5,000. Mr. Oyster sues Mr. Emrich and Mr. Gar- den, therefore, for $5,000 each and costs. Mr. Chas. C. Barber, in his complaint against Frederick W. Emrich, charges that on the Sth of October, 1895, he bought at one of the places of the defendant one pound of butter, which was represented to be what is known to the public as Oysier's fancy Elgin creamery butter, for which the plaintif€ paid the sum of 30 cents, when in fact the said article at the time of such representation and sale was not Oys butter, but was oleomargarine, of whi fact the defendant well knew at the time of the sale. Tne plaluelff declares that de- fendant Emrich falsely and fraudulently deceived him in the sale of the article, and prays $0,000 damages and costs, Samuel T. Murray, in his sult against Peter C. Garden, recites the same charges as those contained In the suit of Mr. Barber against Frederick W. Emrich, and also claims $5,000 and costs.

IN TEN MONTHS And Now Miss Lilly Has Been Sentenced to Jail for Bigamy. Than a Year She Can Choose Her Husband—She Plead Guilty. The rather sensational case of Maud M. Lilly, indicted for bigamy, came up unex- pectedly this morning before Judge Cox, in Criminal Ccurt No. 2, was quickly disposed of, the second sentence under the Edmunds law in the District imposed, and a new and important law ruling made. Miss Lilly, or perhaps she should be call- ed Mrs. Crosby or Mrs. Goodman, is the at- tractive young woman whose unseemly conduct in September incited widespread interest and comment. Miss Lilly went to Camden, N. J., August 2 last, and married John V. Goodman, and lived with hm as his wife for nearly two months. During this period the bride kept up a correspond- ence with George W. Crosby, jr., of this city, who had been her lover for some time, but did not inform him of her marriage with Goodman. Crosby went to Camden September 18 last, at Miss Lilly’s request, proceeded to her apartments and together they sought a minister and were wedded. Immediately after the ceremony Crosby brought the young woman to this city, where they started ee and were as happy as the day Is long. ‘Gooaman, on discovering that his wife had fled, traced her to this city, and then found that-she was living with Crosby. Both hus- bands were naturally startled at the dis- closure, and the arrest of Miss Lilly follow- ed. She made no denial of the charge, her only explanation being that she ried Goodman beczuse it was the wish of her mother. She loved Crosby, however, and therefore became his wife when the oppor- tunity presented itself. One of the most re- markable features of the case was the ap- parently sincere statement of Miss Lilly that she did not know she was doing wrong in marrying Crosby. Miss Lilly was indicted for bigamy and pleaded not guilty several weeks ago. When the Criminal Court was opered this morning she was taken into the crowded room from the cage below and seated beside three al- leged highwaymen. After smiling sweetly at her attorney, Mr. T. C. Tayior, Miss Lilly, who was the only woman in court, cast her eyes downward and sat with bowed head during the remainder of the proceedings. She was stylishly attired and seemed to realize keenly her position. ‘Attorney Taylor, addressing the court, an- nounced that Miss Lilly desired to withdraw the plea of not guilty and enter one of guilty, this action to be taken with the un- derstanding that a jail sentence would be imposed. Assistant District Attorney Jef- fords added that at the direction of District Attorney Birney he would recomthend the course outlined by Mr. Taylor. A discussion followed regarding the law covering the case, and it was brought out that the punishment for bigamy is imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than two years. However, the Ed- By nds iaw which went Into effect subse- nt to the law providing for bigamy, stipulates that the punishment shall be imprisonment for not more than five years, but does not mention the place of confinc- ment. Therefore, it Is within the discre- tion of the court whether the person con- victed be confined one minute or five years, in jail or in the penitentiary. Attorrey Taylor suggested that Miss Lilly, wnom he cha ized as a simple- minded young girl, had already been con- fined two months. ‘Judge Cox then imposed a senterce of ten months in the District jail, und the fair prisoner rather cheerily descended to the cag It is stated that Miss Lilly has been em- pleyed at the jail by the matron, and has rroved to be a able assistant. She !s to continue the duties mentioned, and ber in:prisonment therefore is not likely to be eepecially irksome. As st ted, the sentence is the second un- der the Edmunds law, and perhaps the in- itial case in the District where a person ad- mittedly guilty of bigamy has not received a term in the penitentiary. ee Meeting of Veterans. At a largely attended meeting cf the Second Corps Association of Veterans last evening at Willard’s an interesting paper was read by Dr. Joshua R. Hayes and Mr. Joseph P. Brady delivered an address in which he set forth the supreme importance of fostering the spirit of loyalty to the gov- ernment. Col. De Witt C. Sprague also en- tertained the gathering by reciting several original poems. A number of new mem- bers were elected and a committee, con- sisting of Dr. J. R. Hayes, Col.W. L. Bram- hall and C. &. Troutman, was appointed to consider a proposition to erect a monu- ment to Ge .

The chief of engineers has received the report of Maj. Davis of operations for the improvement of the Potomac river during the month of October. The construction of the sea wall in the tidal reservoir was con- tmued end good progress was made, the weather and tides being unusually favor- able. There was completed 775 linear feet of wall, making a total to date of 4,175 linear feet. The wall is nearly completed on the southeast shore ef the reservoir. The action of the waves from the north- west winds of winter is mast severe along this shore, and the tompletion of this sec- tion of the wall, Maj. Davis says, will afford full protection to the reclaimed area which it borders. The construction of the wall on the southwest shore is now in progress, and will continue during the re- mainder of the month. Maj. Davis says that there are no funds available for the repair of the Aqueduct bridge under the approved project, and that the work remains suspeaded pending further appropriation by Congress. The Eastern Branch Bridge. The work of'surveying for a bridge across the Eastern branch of the Potomac at or below South Capitol street was continued during the past month. The driving of test piles was completed early in October, and borings were commenced to determine the exact character of the underlying strata. Bleven borings were made, ranging from twenty-seven to ninety-four feet in depth. It is expected to complete the borings during the present month, to complete the prepara- tion of maps and profiles, and to prepare es- timates of cost of the proposed bridge. The Wrecked Lady of the Lake. Maj. Davis says that the removal of the wreck of the Lady of the Lake in the Washington channel was commenced Octo- ber 22, by Johnston & Townsend of Somers Point, N. J. Their method of work is to break up the iron hull into sections which can be handled by means of small charges of dynamite placed in position by a diver and afterward explc2ed by means of a bat- tery. This part of the work is still in pro- gress. When the hull is broken up the pieces will be raised with a derrick and de- posited on section 3 of the Potomac flats. o—____ A WITNESS WANTED. Police Looking for a Very Indefinite Individual. Inspector Hollinberger’s detectives have been looking for a man said to be named Kraus, a plumber by trade, who is wanted es a witness in Alexandria at the Inquest being held there over the remains of the Davis woman who was burned to death. The officers have been looking for the man because of a request received from the Alexandria authorites. The man wanted is said to be about thirty years old, and the Alexandria authcrities said that he was a plumber employed on 7th street opposite the market. Th: is no plumbing estab- lishment at the place mentioned, and the police are satisfied that the police in Alex- andria have not the man’s right name. There is only one registered plumber here named Kraus, Mr. John Kraus of 1020 18th street, and he is not the man who was in Alexandria at the time the woman was burned to death. —~.___ WILL BE A LIVELY CONTEST. Vacancy in th -Maryland Senate Caused by Desth. A speciai from Westminster, Md., an- nounces the sudden déath last night of Sen- ator-elect Pinckney J, Bennett of Carroll county. At the late election Mr. Bennett was re-elected for a third term as a demo- crat. Governor Browf will be called upon to order a special election for Carroll county, and upon the result of that election depends the political complexion of the next senate of Maryland. With Mr. Bennett's vote that body stood 14 democrats and 12 republi- cans. Should the republicans elect a suc- cessor to Mr. Bennett, the senate would be a tie, with Senator Bruce of Baltimore act- ing in harmony with the republicans upon all reform measures and uniting with them in confirming the republican governor's nominations. Should the demccrats win, the situation will remain the same as prior to Mr. Ben- nett’s death. The regular democrats had ex- pected, because of their control of the senate, to prevent many changes proposed in the registration, election and other laws of the state as well as to offset many of the republican governor’s nominations. The special election in Carroll will, therefore, be a very lively affair. The county gave Lowndes, republican, a majority for gov- ernor of 126; Mr. Bennett’s majority was Lut ———_+0+______ In consequence of lack of interest on the part of Baltimore business men the pro- pesed celebration of Maryland day at the Atlanta exposition on November 21 has been abandoned. Holmes, the convicted murderer of B. F. Pitezel, applied yesterday in Philadelphia for a new trial A CROWD EXPECTED Convention Hall to Be Filled To- morrow Night. THE INAUGURATION OF DR. WHITMAN Detailed Program of the Exercises Announced Today. FACULTY AND STUDENTS From present indications one of the larg- est audiences ever assembled in this city will be present in Convention Hall tomor- row evening to witness the inauguration of Rev. B, L, Whitman, D.D., as president of Columbian University. From the time of the opening of business hours yesterday and during the day some 3,600 tickets for reserved seats were given out at the uni- versity building to applicants that called for them. All the seats in the hall will not be reserved, but the number is so limited that it would be advisable for those not having reserved seats to go early in order that they may obtain seats. In addition to the general public, there will be present invited guests, the faculties of the various schools and some 1,400 stu- dents of the university. As has been stated in The Star, arrangements have been made by Prof. Lodge so that the great crowd can be handled with dispatch and without con- fusion. The students are to assemble on L street, the north side of the hall, where the entrance to the hall below the Convention Hall is located. This latter will be the general rendezvous for the students. They are expected to meet at 7:30, and all the faculties are to meet at the same piace. From this point the various schools, headed by the respective faculties, and urder the direction of their marshals, will march into the hall. In addition to the marshals of the schocls mentioned in yes- terday’s Star the following have been selected: Law School, F. H. Moore, C. B. Calvert, S. E. Burroughs, R. H. Riddle- berger, L. M. Jordan, H. Kk. Howenstein, R. F. Able; Medical School, H. T, A. Lemon, E. L. Le Merle, Bin c. Gotta, W. N. Fisher; Dental School, Tracey, W. S. Gustin, The secretary and treasurer of the university, Robert H. Martin, will be the chief marshal of the occasion. Invitations have been sent to all the members of facul- ties and their assistants. It is possible, Mr. Lodge thinks, some of these invitations have miscarried, but he trusts that all the members of the faculties and their assist- ants will meet with their schools and go to the platform. A committee comp 2sed of Postmaster General Wilson, Justice Harlan, Judge Walter S. Cox and J. L. M. Curry has call- ed on the President and invited him to be present. It is expected that he will be able to respond in person to this invitation.

The Surgeons Holding Their Final Sessions for Interchanging Ideas, The closing sessions of the eighth annual meeting of the Southern Surgical and Gyn- ecological Association were held at the Shorsham today, and many papers of an In- tricately professional character were read, showing how various diseases of the stom- ach where surgery is necessary might best be treated, and citing cases in which the operations described were followed by satis- factory results. The afternoon session yesterday was de- voted to the conclusion of the interesting discussion of Dr. J. D. S. Davis’ paper on appendicitis and a sketch of the life of the famous Dr. J. Marion Sims of New York by his son-in-law, Dr. John A. Wyeth. He de- scribed the discovery by Dr. Sims of the use of silver in sewing up fistula and similar openings, and followed his remarkably suc- cessful career in an interesting manner. Tributes to Dr. Sims were also paid by Drs.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Z In your issue of the 12th appeared a let- ter In deferse of Mr. H. A. Griswold from the pen of the venerable and highly re- spected C. B. Smith of this place, the ap- peerance of which has surprised and pained many of the latter's numerous friends, and in reply to which I beg space in which to say that evidently Mr. Smith was not aware of a statement made re- cently by Mr. Griswold in his own house to a number of gentlemen whom he had in- vited to meet him there and discuss the then situation of the reasons why his stockholders had never had any returns from the money they invested to equip An- acostia with a railroad. Perhaps, had he been aware of this state- ment and its nature, he would have had but littie to write about Mr. Griswold’s stockholders, and certainly much less to print about Anacostia property holders. Can and will Mr. Smith explain why the stock of this road is valueless, and $371,000 worth of its bonds, !ssued upon a non- ing $100,000 road, are worth full face val- ue, with accrued interest to date, and none for sale upon these terms?

As usual there will be many features of interest, but in addi- tion there will be printed some special arti- cles, written in an attractive style, on topics of current importance.

Hawthorne and Sarah Orne Jewett. The latter contributes a short story, having special reference to the Thanksgiving season. eeoepee SD THE COMING CARNIVAL. Gratifying Progress Reported by the Various Committees. The arrangements for the coming carnival of the Columbia Athletic Club are being rap- idly completed, and the meeting of the ex- ecutive committee was an enthusiastic one. It was decided to devote Friday night to the entertainment of the military and to have the boat clubs present Thursday. Mr. Sam Ireland, who has charge of the living pic- tures of the carnival, reported progress that showed this feature would be among the most attractive presented. The committee decided to set aside a booth to be devoted to the sale of a book entitled “Words of Lincoln,” the proceeds from which will be donated to the improve- ment and care of the house on 10th street where President Lincoln expired. Not the least interesting action of the evening was the decision of the committee to open carnival headquarters today at the office of Emmons & Simpson, No. 1216 F street, where all information regarding the event will be given and tickets may obtained. There has been a pala Se of season tickets, and much entery shown by those disposing of them, lady selling the largest number will pecive a handsome toilet set, while the gentleman will get a fine bicycle. The board of governors will hold an im- portant meeting tonight, and the ladies who will assist at the carnival will me2t at the club house tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. ——_—_ Seience Atones for Nature's Faults. During the last few years the medical profession have realized the great benefits to be derived from the use of Hthia water for rheumatism, kidney, blood and stomach troubles, and have been more or less baf- fled on account of the fact that they have been unable to obtain a uniform quantity of this valuable salt in the water of any of the natural springs. Science, however, has rectified nature's irregularity. The Hy- geia Ice and Water Co. of New Haven, Conn., in their aerated lithia water, have taken, in the first place, an absolutely pure distilled water and added to this Just the right amount of the salts of lithia and bi- carbonate of soda that physicians believe will produce the most beneficial results. In addition to this they have every fa- cellity in their ice plant of introducing more natural carbonic acid gas into a given amount of water by a special cold process than has ever before been accomplished. The result ts a perfect water, which doc- tors everywhere lookupon with the great- est favor. ——— Hotel Arrivals. Raleigh—Francis M. Palmer, Chicago; A. W. Wolf, Pittsburg: Harold G.
