TROOPS MAY COME Indian Students From the Carlisle School to Be in Line. OTHER ORGANIZATIONS Chairman Bell and Secretary Brackett went to the pension office this morning, where they met Gen. Miles, chairman of the reception committee, and Mr. Edward McCauley, chairman of the floor and prom- committee, and had a conference the arrangements of the inaugural enade over ball Pennsylvania Troops May Yet Come. The recent announcement that none of the troops composing the Pennsylvania Na- tional Guard would perticipate in the inau- gural parade may eventually prove to be erroneous. as there is a strong movement in progress among the friends of the or- ganization to secure its substantial repre- sentation I on March 4. It is confi- dently believed in quarters usually well informed that at least two regiments of the keystone state militia will be found in line when President McKinley reviews the pro- cession, and there are believed to be strong lities that this number may be in- one or two other commands. Vice President Hobart's Party. Vice President-elect Hobart will reach Washington March 2, at 4 p.m., accom- panied by a party of twenty-five persons, including Gov. Griggs and his staff, and the wives of several of the members of the latter. The visitors will come by the Baltimore and Ohio road, and will be met at the depot by a committee composed of members of the inav selected by Chairman Bell and escorted to the Arlington Hotel. The James L. Goodall Republican Club of Philadelphia will have in the inaugural parade sixty men, dressed in black cheviot evercoats, high hats and carrying canes. ‘They will be under command of Frank R. Burton, assisted by Samuel Johnson, and will secure a pand in this city. The men Will be quartered at 1519 M street and 1013 18th street northvest Carlisle Students Coming. The very gratifying announcement of the coming of the Indian students from the ‘arlisie School was received by Civic Chair- Warner this morning from Capt. R. Hi. Pratt of the 10th Cavalry, superintend- ent of the school. Capt. Pratt states that the battalion will leave Carlisle at 3 a.m. March 4, reaching here at 7 a.m. The boys will leave at 7 in the evening of inaugura- tion day. The battalion will be equipped somewhat in the way it was at the parade of the opening ceremontes of the world's fair at Chicago, a graphic description of which was recently published in the inaugural column of The Star. They will carry the nd products of industry, and fed into four companies and each platoon composed of ith a right and left file closer for each mai platoon They will carry the school the national flag, and be headed by the school band of 5 pieces.

Officers of the Next House. The employes in the House end of the Capitol are beginning to gossip a great deal about the election of officers of the next House. So far the gossip is to the effect that the present officers will be re-elected. They are Clerk McDowell, Doorkeeper Glenn and Sergeant-at-arms Russvil. Should the present officers be re-elected, as ts the opinion now, there will, it is said, be few changes on the pay rolls of the next Honse. eg The Texas at Galveston. ‘The much maligned battle ship Texas has arrived at Galveston, Texas, where she was recently ordered by the Navy Depart- ment In crder to receive the stiver service donated to the ship by the citizens of the lone star state.

More Testimony Introduced in the Will Trial. Evidence as to Mrs. Van Riswick’s Attention to Business—The Witnesses Today. The introduction of testimony in sup- port of the validity of the will of the late Mary Van Riswick, contested by her daughter, Mrs. Martina Carr, was contin- ued before Judge McCon.as in Circuit Court No. 2 today by counsel for Mr. Wilton J. Lambert, Mrs. Van Riswick’s grandson, who is defending the instrument. Before proceeding with the trial today, Judge Mc- Comas called the attention of respective counsel to the fact that visiting militia will be quartered in the city hall the 3d and 4th of next month, and he suggested that as this is but the seventeenth day of the trial, the court should sit hereafter on Fri- days. Counsel for Mr. Lambert stated that previous engagements would prevent their attendance next Friday, but Judge Mc- Comas said that thereafter the court would sit Fridays. 3 When The Star's report of the case closed yesterday, Mrs. Katie Joyce, a friend of the Van Riswick family, was on the stand. She testified that Mrs. Van Riswick in- formed her in October, 1894, that she had disposed of her estate, giving Van View to Wilton, a house to each of her two grand- davghters, house 1413 K street to Mr: Carr for life. and the income from the resi- due of the estate equaliy between Mrs. T. A. Lambert and Mrs. Carr. Mrs. Van Ris- wick also told her that she had given her relatives nothing, because she found she did not have enough to go all around. She also stated that Mr. and Mrs. Van Riswick always spoke of Wilton as thelr principal male Feir, not wishing the estate to leave the family. Mrs. Borden Called. ‘The first witness called today was Mrs. Eugenia R. Borden, a cousin of Mr. Tali- madge A. Lambert. She said she was well acquainted with the Van Riswick famiiy, and said that Mr. Van Riswick and his wife highly esteemed Mr. T. A. Lampert, and had great confidence in him, the for- mer once remarking that he would give half he had to possess Mr. Lambert's m During the last year cr two of Mrs. V Riswick’s life the witness noticed no fail- vre of her memory or any great change in her health, she appearing well and rational. Mrs. Lambert since her marriage has been in poor health. Mrs. Van Riswick, she said, was a wcman of strong will and fixed ptrpose. Mrs. Van Ri once remarked that Wilton should have Van View. as regarded him as her rightful heir. Business Capabilities. Julius I. Atchison, a local plumber, said he had known Mrs. Van Riswick for abi five years, and did much work for her, doirg the last work for her, repairs at Van View, in July, 18%. She always ap- peared to know just what she wanted and how it should be done. Mr. Wilton Lam- bert had nothing to do with the work in any way. Plumber John Mitchell gave similar tes- timony, remarking that in his opinion she was always well capable of transacting business matters. Alexander Brown, one of Mrs. Van Ris- wick’s tenants, testified that from 1891 to June or July, 180, he paid the rent to her, and subsequently, at her request, to Wilton Lambert. The witness said Mrs. Van Ris- wick once told him that ske did not wish to tax her mind with repairs; that she was getting old, and that she desired to have her property as it was. In his opin- ion Mrs. Van Riswick was a woman not easily moved. Nellie Quinlan, the next witness, stated that she lived at Mrs. T. A. Lamberi’s as a chambermaid and waitress from March, 18M, to last October. Mrs. Lambert was in ill health and had great difficulty in ascending the stairs. The relations be- tween Mrs. Van Riswick and Mrs. Lam- bert and her son were very devoted and affectionate. Mrs. Lambert would always ask her mother to drive with her. This was particularly true while they were at Oakland. Md. Mrs. Van Riswick was al- ways very solicitous respecting Mrs. Lam- bert’s health and comfort, a feeling fully reciprocated by Mrs. Lambert. The wit- ness said she often heard Wilton Lam- bert talking with his grandmother, but never heard them talking about business matters. They generally were engaged in relating Jokes. The witness said to Mr. Perry that she had often seen Mrs. Van Riswick write. “On what?” inquired Mr. Perry. “On paper, sure,” replied the witness. James Jarboe, a colored bricklayer, said that he did the work on Mrs. Van Ris- wick’s Missouri avenue house, occupied by’ Brown, but said that Brown paid him, and that Wilton Lambert had nothing to do’ with it. Pcliceman James B. Cochran stated that befere going on the force he was a painter, and in the spring of 1805 did work for Mrs.’ Van Riswick: that she superintended it, and that she was a woman apparently not easily influenced. In payment for the work he received the check of Wilton J. Lam- bert, having been referred by Mrs. Van Riswick to him. — HERNDON.

Important Decision Rendered by the Court of Appealn—Defining Pewer of Justices, An opinion of great importance and in- terest both to the public and to the legal profession was rendered today by the Court of Appeals, the court déciding that a jury trial before a justice of the peace is a com- mor law trial by jury, such as is guaran- teed by the Constitution; that justices of the peace have the right to instruct a jury as to the law and evidence, and may set aside the verdict, and that from the judg- ment of a justice of the peace in a jury trial there 1s no appeal. The cases in which the decision were rendered were those of the Brightwood Railway Company, appellant, against Jus- tice of the Peace Lewis I. O'Neal, and Charles Hof, appellant, against the Capital Traction Company. The cases were argued and submitted in the Court of Appeals early last November, and the court's de- cision has been awaited with great interest. Mr. Chief Justice Alvey dissented from the majority of the court, Mr. Justices Morris and Shepard, the former writing the majority opinion. It is understood that the matter will at once be carried to the United States Supreme Court. The cases involved the question of the extent of the jurisdiction of justices of the peace in the District, and of the right of arpeal from their judgments. In both cases it was claimed that there is no such thing as a common lew jury trial before justices of the peace here, and the District Supreme Court was asked to have the cases tried be- fore the circuit branch of that tribunal, where such a jury trial is permitted, and where the presiding justice is permitted to instruct the jury as to the law and evi- dence, and where the verdict can be set aside. In the Brightwood ratlway case the lower court keld that there is no appeal from the judgment of a justice of the peace render- ed in a jury trial. In the Hof case the claim was made in the lower court that a jury trial before a justice of the peace is not such a jury trial as is guaranteed by the Censtitution, and that contention the lower court sustained. The Court of Ap- peals, in disposing of the two cases, af- firms the judgment of the lower court in the Brightwood railway case, and reverses the lower court in the Hof case. The majority opinion of the court is one of the longest ever filed in the court, and reviews at great length the laws applying. It is pointed out that Congress is not pro- hibited by the Constitution from providing a common law jury before justices of the peace in cases where the amount in con- troversy so warrants, and it is held that such has been the law here for nearly venty years. It is also pointed out that at common law there 1s no absolute right of appeal. So the court holds “the so- called right of appeal is not an absolute or inalienable right of parties, but that it may be given, regulated or taken away by act of Congress without violation of any in- herent right.” To hold otherwise, says the court, would not only affect the title to numerous lots of ground here, which have been transferred upon writs of execution, but would likewise paralyze the adminis- tration of justice here in all cases inyolv- ing more than $20 and not more than $100, for then there would be no tribunal here competent by law to take cognizance of such causes. In conclusion, the court says that if the continued exercise of the practice which has prevailed here for seventy years has become a source of hardship by reason of the enlarged jurisdiction of justices of the pei and inexpedient for them to deal with causes committed to them without the appellate supervision of the courts of ccmmon law, it is for Congress, and not for the courts, to apply the remedy. “But,” further says the court, “the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia may greatly mitigate the evil, if evil there is, in the practice,” by virtue of authority conferred xpon said court by the acts of 1867 and —EEE BRIGHTWOUD. ay evening Emery Chapel wa J, the occasion being a one-night cot vention, condneted by the Sunday School Union ot the Distriet of Columbia.

The Supreme Council of the National Farmers’ Alliance ahd -Industrial Union spent this morning in; the consideration of the question what to do with the National Alliance aid degree, the insurance branch of the order. bs The aid degree has herctofore operated under the charter of the National Alliance, although having separate officers to some extent. The aid degree has grown to such an extent that there 1s a demand that it be allowed a charter, of its own and do business as a separate organization. The ald degree is now im session at Dallas, Texas, having gone to itself for the first time since it was organized under the al- lance. The Supreme Council this morning adopt- ed a resolution leaving to a vote of the aid degree whether it will continue to operate under the charter of the rational organiza- ticn. It is probable that so soon as this action becomes known the aid de- gree will vote to secure a charter of its own and to work under that charter. It is stated by the delegates to the meeting here that the aid degree originally had headquarters established here in Washing- ton and that branch headquarters were al- lowed to be established at Topeka, Kan. The rapid growth in the membership of the order in the west soon carried the head- quarters to Topeka, where they have re- mained. It is the desire of some of the officers of the degree that others besides members of the alliance be allowed to join the degree. By operating under a charter of its own the degree can do this. Changing the Constitution, Th» Supreme Courcil adopted another im- portant change in the constitution today. It charged the section which prevented the president from serving but one term, The president can now be re-elected indefinitely. This means that Mann Page of Virginia will be re-elected president when the elec- tion of officers is held tonight. The various committees appointed yes- terday are at work and will finish their reports tonight. It is authoritatively stated that there will be no changes in the ‘‘de- mands” of the order. These demands, as is well known, have for their chief aim the free coinage of silver and gold at the ratio 6f 16 to 1. President Page sald to- day that the order has other demands as to legislation, but it would be well satisfied to secure this one. He asserts that “‘the scarcity of money is crushing the life out of the farmers of the country.” President Page says that the member- ship of the order has suffered in states where the order itself has entered into pelitical fights. . ‘The order is now looking forward, it is’ suid, to beneficlal results from the estab- Ushment of co-operative degrees. These degrees allow farmers in a neighborhood to band together to dispose of their products in bulk. ‘They also arrange for co-opera- tive work in many ways. ——— RIVERDALE. ‘There were 178 marriage licenses tssued by the clerk of the circuit ccurt in Prince George's county, Me., during 1896, ‘The Juvenile Literary Society of Riverdale was orgunized Thursday last, and eld its first mect- ing the evening of February 11, Miss Lottie Mangum, presideat; Master Warren Wagner, vice president; Master Harry Witson, secretary.
