Justice Lane’s court near Jackson City assembled this morning to try the oft-ad- jeurned cases of the alleged violators of the gambling and liquor laws of Alexan- dria county. Justice Pelham was on hand to lend his legal co-operation to Justice Lane, while Attorney Johnson and As- sistant Attorney Marbury represented the power and dignity of the commonwealth of Virginia in a prosecuting capacity. At- torneye Mushback and Brent represented the defenders in the cases. Mr. Marbury demanded that the names of the defendants be called and that in their absence their bonds be forfeited. Mr. Brent insisted that their presence was not necessary, and he moved to quash the warrants. Mr. Marbury said it was his understand- ing that Mr. Brent had agreed to have the defendants present today for trial with- out further delay, pending the issuance of new and correct warrants. A disagree- ment arose between him and Mr. Brent upon this point. Mr. Marbury insisted upon a ruling by the court on his motion to forfeit bonds. Mr. Brent and Mr. Mushback contended that in a misdemeanor case it ‘was not nec- essary for the defendants to be present in person. Mr. Marbury held that while he could try the defendants in their absence, their non-appearance, nevertheless, served to forfelt the bonds they gave for their at- tendance upon court. The court ruled that the bonds were thereupon forfeited. The counsel for the defendants noted an appeal. Mr. Marbury then asked to have the wit- nesses called. Those who answered were John Carroll, Andrew Munn and John James. Mr. Marbury moved to fine for contempt of court Lee Candler and Benj. Edelin, witnesses summoned and failing to answer. A rule was issued against them to show cause why they should not be fined for conten pt. At this point Mr. Marbury asked that a continuance of the cases be made until next Tuesday. The request was granted and the adjournment taken. After the court adjourned Mr. Marbury was asked by a Star reporter why it was necessary to postpone the cases. “For this reason,” he replied. “It will be remembered that the original warrants were defective and It was necessary to Is- sue new ones. This was done; but it has not been possible to serve the new and correct warrants. “The defendants were under bond to eppear here today. It was my purpose to serve the new warrants upon them in court and proceed to trial. But, as you see, th> defendants were not present, and there was nothing to be done but move to forfeit their bond8 and adjourn the court until the new warrants can be served. They will be served at once.” ——__ Classification of Employes. So far as the work of classification of the employes of the War Department has pro- gressed under the recent order looking to the extension of the civil service rules, it appears that the total number of persons in the employ of the department in every capacity, and in the country at large, as well as in Washington, is 14,800. Of these, 6,417 are now classified, 5,765 are excluded from classification under rule 3, section 8, of the civil service rules; 1,101 persons are excluded from classification because they are engaged in manual labor, and 1,572 per- sons have not yet been classified, mainly because of doubt as to their status. But two persons in the civil establishment are exempt from classification by reason of the fact that they are subject to confirmation by the Senate, and they are the Secretary and the assistant secretary of war. Of the 5,765 persons excluded from classi- fication under rule 3, 5,745 are in the engi- neer’s department, 19 in the signal service and 1 in the Chickamauga Park commis- sion. Of the 1,101 below the classified lists, 516 are in the quartermaster’s department, 482 in the engineer’s department, and the remainder in the War Department itself. Of the 1,572 not yet classified, 78 are in the quartermaster’s department, 1,440 in the ordnance department and 54 in the engi- neer’s department. —\-e-—______ For Divorce. Bettie Reed today petitioned for divorce from Joseph A. Reed, to whom she was married here October 20, 1881. She charges that they lived together until May 9, 1891, when, she charges, her husband deserted and abandoned her. Mr. John P. Shepperd is her attorney. ———— School Incorporated.

FIRST COME 10 BE FIRST SERVED No Tickets of Admission and No Reserved Seats. —_--- OFFICERS OF THE MEETING ———— ee Candidate William Jennings Bryan will arrive in this city from Richmond, Va., next Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock. He will be met at the Pennsylvania depot by a committee representing the united democracy of the District of Columbia, and will be escorted to the Capitol Base Ball Park, at the corner of North Capitol and G streets, where he will deliver an address in support of the principles he is advocat- ing-In the pending campaign. These facts were settled at a meeting of the joint com- mittee on organization held at Myers’ Hotel last night, with Mr. John A. Clarke in the chair and Mr. Thomas F. Cook as secre- tary. The acceptance by Col. James G. Berret of the invitation to preside over the meeting, which was published in yester- day’s Star, was read, and vice presidents were announced as follows: Lawrence Gardner, Jesse B. Wilson, John W.

W. Anderson, and R. N. Harper. The members of the press committee are John Boyle, Clusky Cromwell, H. L. Mer- rick, Robert J. Wynne, O’Brien Moore and M. F. Tighe. Several Resolutions Passed. A resolution extending the thanks of the committee to Senator Faulkner for his successful effort to secure the east front of the Capitol for the proposed meeting and to Vice Presideat Stevenson and Speak- er Reed for their consent to tne use of that building. was passed. A resolution was also adopted that no tickets of ad- mission be issued to Capitol Park, and that the only seats reserved in the in- closure will be those on the platform for the officers of the meeting and the speak- ers. It was decided that there would be no general parade or procession, but that there could be no objection +o organiza- tions marching In bodies to the place of the meeting. All bands, however, will cease playing as soon as the park is reached, as the committee on arrangements has pro- vided for this part of the program. Col. William Dickson will provide badges for the vice presidents and the members of the committee. The big Bryan and Sewall banner of the democratic central committee will be swung across the avenue from in front of the Metropolitan Hotel tomorrow after- noon at 4 o'clock, and a meeting of that body will precede the ceremonies attend- ant upon this function. No Seats for the Public. The committee has also decided that no mounted. men will be allowed in the in- closure, and thts will probably prevent clubs in Maryland and Virginia from carrying out their intention of coming to the meeting on horseback. If the grand stand and bleachers were available for the crowds to use during the meeting, there might be room in the grounds for the ac- commodation of mounted organizations, as well as those on foot, but there will be no admission to the stands in the park, because they are very old and the timbers are too rotten to bear any great weight. Consequently the grand stand and bleach- ers will be closed to all, and policemen and guards will prevent the crowds from oc- cupying them. The general public will, therefore, be compelled to stand during the meeting, the only seats being those on the speakers’ platform, which will be re- served for the speakers, the officers of the meeting, and the members of the press. The location of this platform is occasion- ing considerable thought on the part of the committee. It is pointed out that if it is erected in the center df the grounds, as many favor, it will be almost an impos- sibility to get Mr. Bryan through the crowd to the speaking place when he ar- rives, or away from it when he is ready to make his departure. Owing to t! con- sideration, it may be decided to er the platform at one end or one side of the park, and provide an entrance to it from the street, so that the crowds cannot in- terfere with Mr. Bryan’s entrance or exit.

SHE IS NOT INSANE Police Surgeons Examine Miss Florence Jordan Today. She Has Broken Down for the First Time—Charges of Larceny Withdrawn, Florence Jordan, the pretty ard way- ward young girl who was arrested yester- day by Detective Sutton on the charge of stealiag a bicycle from ath street dealer, is still incarcerated atthe first precinct station house, under charge of the matron, Mrs. Pennyfill. Her explanation of her failure to return the bicycle to its owner s accepted as true by the police, and it was decided that no ‘charge of grand larceny, such as her offense if’ Intentional would have constituted, eculd pe properly maintained against her. She» was held, however, in order that a medical examina- tion might be made as to her mental condi- tion, and in case this was proven to be good that measures might ba :taken to place her beyond the temptation with which she h heretofore been surrounded! and to which she had unfortunately yielded. “The matron lent all her good 2nd motherly offices to the purpose of touching the young girl and making her realize the serious position she was in, but for a long time Florence pre- served her careless and debonnair manner and s2emed proof against all softening in- fluences. This morning Miss Brooke, who has de- vcted herself to the work of reformation, came again to see the poor creature, and was left alone with her by the matron. She talked with her earnestly and prayed for her fervently, and at iast Florence broke down and wept. She declared that, she was deeply sorry for the disgrace she kad brought upon her poor mother and sister, and seemed really repenant for her past misdeeds. She begged Miss Brooke to send a message to her mother to come. and see her and talk with her, and Miss Brooke immediately left the station on this errand of mercy. Drs. Hickling and Nevitt, the police surgeons, visited the station this morning and saw the young girl with a view, to, determining whether she Was mentally sound or not. Not Insane. The police surgeons who had examined the girl made a report this afternoon to the sanitary officer, in which they stated that after talking with the prisoner they could find no signs of such insanity as would justify sending her to the insane asylum, ——+__ Death of Mrs. W. W. Carry. The many friends and acquaintances of Mr. W. W. Curry will be shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. Curry, which occurred yesterday morning at 2 o'clock at their country home, Oak Crest, Md. Death was due to heart failure. Mrs. Curry had been a sufferer from rheumatism and had been unable to walk for twenty years, but the remarkable fortitude with which she en- dured her affliction, her cheerfulness and thoughtfulness of others endeared her to all those who had the pleasure of her ac- quaintance. Mrs. Curry was a daughter of the late Euion Singer, an old resident of Cincinnati, and was married to Mr. Curry in 1851, making Indiana their home until their removal to this city in 1881, where they have resided ever since. She leaves besides her husband five daughters. The funeral services will be held in the Church of Our Father Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and interment will be made at Rock Creek cemetery. Mr. Curry, who is away in South Dakota, has been tele- graphed for, and will arrive as soon as possible. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

WANTED (Situations), THE SENATORS WON An Eaay Victory in the Police Court This Morning. Mr. Earl Wagner Makes a Home Run—Other Cascs Before the Judge. The Police Court this morning presented every appearance of a base ball inclosure, covered, to be sure. A lively game, too, was played, and the Washington Base Ball Club figured in the contest. In accordance with its custom of late, the national leag- uers easily won out, all the players who advanced to the plate making safe drives, ™much.to the consternation of the opposing team, which consisted of three colored youths. The trophy was not the Temple cup, but several sweaters and other prop- erty of Mr. J. Earl Wagner, the owner of the club. The Washington club was the first to ap- pear on the scene. The players filed into the room, headed by J. Earl Wagner, and Proceeded to the players’ bench, inside the railing. The team consisted of “Old Re- lable” Jim McGuire, the catcher; “Baron” Al. Selbach, the left fielder; “Silver” King, the pitcher; Billy Lush, the outfielder; Har- vey Smith, the popular third baseman, and Several others. Manager Schmelz was not in attendance, however, but the scene was made realistic by the presence of Special Officer O'Day, who is stationed at National Park to preserve order in the even: hi trouble should arise. Sone The opposing team consisted of four 2ol- ored youths, Henry Alexander, Robert Johnson, Edward Ross and Mason Carey, but théy did not enter the field through the front door, as did the Washing:on Players. The grand stand was entirely otcupied, while standing room only was ;the order in the bleachers or space in rear of the wire netting. The Dress box was also in working shape. There was no preliminary practice. Clerk Lum Har- ber acted as official scorer and Mr. Ralph Given of the district attorney's office was on the coach line for the Washingtons. When Umpire Kimball called “play” Mr. .Wagner advanced to the center of the dia mond and proceeded to twirl the ball, hig “peurves being to the effect that ‘Tues: Wednesday and Thursday of last week the dressing room at National Park was en- tered and certain property taken. Attor- ney John M. Langston was the captain- manager of the opposing team, and he went first to bat, making a safe hit by driving from Mr. Wagner the admission that of personal knowledge he knew nothing of the housebreaking. After several policemen had engaged in conversation with the umpire, it was “Sil- ver” King’s turn at the bat. “Step up here, 16 to 1,” shouted coacher Kendig, and the spectators smiled. King identified a sweater and pair of shoes as his property. According to the score card, Catcher McGuire was the next hitter. “Move up there lively to the plate, Old Reliable,” shouted Kendig, and again the spectators laughed aloud. McGuire made a holiday home run by claiming the re- mainder of the property end declaring that it was stolen from the dressing room. At this point Captain Given claimed the game on the ground that a case had been made out. Captain Langston made a vig- orous kick, but Umpire Kimball ruled in favor of the Washington club by holding the prisoners for the grand jury in default of $500 bonds. She Didn’t Know. “Indeed, your honor, I don’t know how it happened,” seid Margerite Conners, an elderly woman with every appearance of respectability, to Judge Kimball. “Indeed, I don’t, sir.” The charge against the woman was dis- orderly conduct last evening in a saloon on C street. “You don’t look like the class that we vsually have here,” remarked the court. “Indeed, gtr,” explained the prisoner, weeping as though her heart would break, “I bave never been arrested before in my life and I never drank before last night. I have lived here for fifty years with my people on New Hampshire avenue, and I Was never arrested before in my life. Please, sir, let me go?” “Take her personal bonds.” William Lancaster, a colored man with but one eye, was arraigned on a charge of indecent exposure cn Water street. “I was drunk, yer ‘onner, and didn’t know what I was doin’.” “That does not excuse you.” “I knows it doesn’t, sah, but please take my pushnal bonds, sah.” “Ten dollars or thirty days.” Robert Wilson, an old white man, who looked as though he may have seen better days, was arrested last evening on {9th street for begging. Wilson explained to the court that he is fifty-seven years of age, and has lived here all his life. He is without money or friends, he said, and is suffering from disease. He asked the court for a sentence to the work house, and was accommodated with an order for thirty days. John Osborn and Henry Osborn, two young white men, were taken in custody yesterday afternoon near the Capitol for alleged disorderly conduct, profanity, in- cluding the casting of slurring remarks about certain ladies who were passing. The testimony was to the effect that the young men had made use of the expression “damn,” but nothing further. That word is not considered as included in the cate- gory of profanity, so the case was dis- missed. Se Se No Jury Cases. Owing to the pressure of business In the Police Court, and the fact that but one judge is on duty, the jury was excused until a week from tomorrow, and no jury cases will be tried until that time. ~ BRYAN IN MISSOURI Great Enthusiasm That His Appear- ance in the State Excited. EACH PARTY HAS ITS TROUBLES Republicans Keeping their Dissen- sions in the Background. THE PROBABLE OUTCOME Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ST. LOUIS, September 15.—Missourl re- publicans have been dreaming for ten years of the time when they would carry Mis- souri. A few months ago, before the money issue became so acute, they thought their opportunity was at hand. The reaction from democratic policies and democratic Mministration was pronounced. The state was wild on McKinley and protection. The major’s nomination satisficd the party. It is a curious circumstance that while there is a pronounced departure in the demo- cratic party which was not anticipated months ago, the republican leaders are now wondering whether they are worse off than if they had been forced to confront a unit- ed democratic party on a straddling plat- form. The cause of this uncertainty is the popu- list vote, which is a constant quantity in the neighborhood of 40,000. If the Chicago platform had been against free silver, or had straddled, this vote would have gone up to 75,000. The Missouri populists are middle-of-the-road people. They have been at bitter strife with the democratic leaders. While enthusiastic over Bryan and the Chicago platform, they pointedly refused to surrender their identity as a political organization. The republicans were hope- ful that because of this refusal the free sil- ver democrats and the populists might be kept apart in national affairs. That hope hes been disappointed. After much mancu- vering and coaxing, a junction of the forces has been effected. Saturday the pcpulist state committee agreed to a propo- sition from the democratic state commit- tee, under which the electoral ticket will ccnsist of thirteen democrats and four Pepulists. A provjso is that in case Wat- son recelves moré votes than Sewall, Mis- scuri’s seventeen union electors, if elected, shall cast their votes for Watson for Vice President. This may mean nothing prac- tical, but it is a blow at the pride of the free silver democrats. T! take it meekly. The State Vote Analyzed. With the fusion elecicral deal arranged the republicans are compelled now to base their expectations on the sound money democrats rather than on the populists. In 1sv2 the vote of the state was as follow: Cleveland, 208,398; Harrison, 226; 18; Wea’ er, 41,213. Since then the republican vote has grown perceptibly, but there is no means of measuring the growth exac:ly. ‘The democratic vote fell off 40,000 between 1592 and 1894, yet, as the split in the pa. has occurred since then, this vote also il fies ang is. The populist strength alone can be gauged. In 1894 their can-lidate tor Supreme judge received a thousand more Yotes than had been cast for Weaver for President. Since that time they have shown no evidences of weakening. The sound money vote in Missouri is estimated by some of its friends as high as 60,000, though this seems a liberal estimate. Whateve thelr strength may be, the scund moacy democrats do not all intend to support Palmer and Buckner. Many of them will vote directly for McKinley. When they or- ganized they simply pledged thems: to do all in their power to defeat Bryan, re- serving the right to suppcrt a third ticket or not, as seemed best to them, When the republican platform was adopt- ed some of the Missouri leaders, who had been thinking of nothing but the tariff. quaked. They had mostly been for silver in a way, and they. were afraid that the gold plank would put them on.the defen- sive. The party, however, educated itself ahead of the leaders. The platform was accepted in {ts entirety. While individual defections are heard of in localitie: is no general slump toward free sil indication of the average sentiment of the party is found in the Kansas City district. Col. Van Horn, who was seeking renomi- nation, did not conceal that he was not in harmony with the national platform on the finaz.cial issue. He was easily beaten. Manipulation of party managers could not have done it If the masses of the party had been with him. ‘The free silver democrats themselves have little to say of republican converts, which is another sign that no pronounced defection exisis. Each Party Has Its Troubles. All the parties in Missouri, even the pop- ulists, have internal troubles of their own. It is not likely that the comocrats and pop- uilists will be able to effect a fusion on the state ticket or that the sound money dem cratic candidate for governor will with- Graw. The republicans named Robert E. Lewis, who lives in the interior of the state, and is in many respects a strong man. However, the dissensions which existed previous to his nomination have not been entirely healed. “Lon” Stephens, the dem- ocratic rominee, it is admitted, will run be- bind his ticket. His nomination was a forced one and evokes little enthusiasm. J. McD. Trimble, the sound money candi- Gate, is a lawyer at Kansas City, and is a forceful campaigner, but not much of a speaker. Judge Jones, the populist nom- inee, has been the candidate of his party for other offices. He is a writer of some reputation oa economic subjects, but is not popular with the popu'ists, who want to make traffic arrangements with other polit- ical parties. The republicans are fairly successful in keeping their dissensions under cover. “Old Man” Filly is working for McKinley and Hobart just as though he had not been turned down. R. C. Kerens is exerting himself, because any falling off in repub- lcan strength would destroy the prestige he gained through his McKinley connec- tions. The free silver democrats are more outspoken. Mr. Bland’s followers do not seem to be in a forgiving mood. Little is heard of Senator Vest in the campaign, vhile Senator Cockrell is in disfavor merely in a lesser degree. The rank and file of Mis- souri democrats were in earnest in wanting Bland nominated at Chicago, and they are not tolerant of the men who were charged with lukewarmness. Mr. Bland will be elected to Congress, and will be strong in the future politics of the state. Gov. W. J. Stone understands that fact. The gov- ernor managed to keep all right at Chicago and he is taking an active part in the cam- paign. It is probable that these internal troubles among republicans and free silver demo- POPPOOOS A Food Tonic, Liebig¢ ‘Com pany’s Extract of: Beef Refreshment and PPPOOP EG LOO OHS POPDOOOOOP delicate nourishment. 21 RAR MEAD AL OE pH APE CALO SEL AE PA tee DADO LPO OD OOS FINANCIAL.

The question then recurs whether the sound money democrats will be able to throw Missouri to McKinley, If the state were to be judged by St. Loui alone this might be possible. There is nd mistaking the vitality of the movement here. Secretary Francis has his followers well in line. Grif Prather is almost the only gold standard democrat who went to Chicago that is supporting the ticket. There is no chance that the movement will weaken between now and election day. The St. Louis sound money activity 1s echoed at Kansas City and other cities. Carl Schurz and sound money democrats of national reputation will be in the state during the campaign, and their influence will be felt. The Probable Outlook. Giving these facts due weight, it is nevertheless the opinion of The Star cor- respondent that Bryan will have little trou- ble in carrying Missouri. The 40,000 popu- list votes are a concrete political quantity which may reasonably be taken to offset the intangible sound money defection, Moreover, the under strata of the demo- cratic party in Missouri, the masses, are fiercely loyal to Bryan and free silver. The phenomenal meetings which greeted Mr. Bryan in St. Louis show this conclusively. His journey across the state also showed it. The writer was with the candidate when he traveled from St. Louis to Kansas City, soon after his nomination. A passable measure of enthusiasm was then shown. This time, from Kansas City to St. Louis, the enthusiasm was much greater, the crowds were larger and there were every- where the farmers, who had to travel miles to reach the station. Curiosity is not suffictent to account for their interes The simple truth ts that the back coun are for more is of the ment in. the ies than of n day the } ed.
