Mr. Prall Fined and His Ball Terrier is in Danger—The ee ea hi [% Bal ig SS BEY ZN aii DS Evidence. Ht AW lth Judge Kimball this afternoon In the Po- lice Court disposed of the cases resulting from an encounter Sunday afternoon, May 2, in front of the Hotel Arno, between a Great Dane dog, owned by Mr. Gustav A. Erni of 1329 12th street, and a mongrel bull terrier, the property of Mr. William E. Prall, jr. After a decidedly interesting hearing Mr. Prall was adjudged guilty of cruelly shooting the Great Dane and also of discharging a firearm in the street. A fine of $10 was imzosed in the cruelty case and $5 in the firearm case. Mr. Erni first took the stand and related the story of the shooting substantially as told in The Star at the time of the service of the warrant on Mr. Prall, last week. He visited the residence of his aunt, adjoin- ing the Hotel Arno, Sunday, May 2. His Great Dane dog, “Olaf,” was attacked by & mongrel bull terrier, owned by Mr. Prall, who is a first cousin of Mr. Erni. A small White dog, belonging to the aunt of Mr. Erni, barked at the heels of the bull ter- rier, and thinking that it would be killed should he separate the big dogs, Mr. Erni Picked up the little fellow and placed him within the house. As he was returning to separate his animal and the bull the for- mer received a bullet in the neck. It was badly injured, and is now in a precarious condition as a result of the shooting. The witness had reason to believe that Mr. Pratl pepe from @ balcony just outside Sam has fallen during preceding twelve hours.

The temperature is higher in the lower Take region and the east gulf states and cooler in the upper Mississippi valley. Showers have occurred in New England, the Take regions, the Atlantic and gulf states, the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri Mr. Malcolm G. Bruce witnessed the oc- currence. He saw the Great Dane attacked by the bull terrier, and observed Mr. Erni carry off the little white dog. “Just as he was returning toward the fighting dogs,” said Mr. Bruce, “I heard the discharge of @ firearm and noticed that the Great Dane was struck. At the same time a commotion was plain on the balcony outside Mr, Prall’s rooms. Some potted plants were stirred, and I saw a man receding into thé rooms. I cannot swear that it was Mr. Prall. I am satisfied, however, that the shot was tired from the balcony.” . “That is the case of the government,” an- nounced Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, when oo _ : valleys. ae ll—t p.m., 72; 8-p'm., 69; midnight, ir.

Frank Shawley, a foreman in the employ of Mr. Prall, caused much amusement by his endeavors to ‘evade the interrogatories of the prosecuting attorney. After the encounter with the Great Dane, the wit- ness said, he took the bull terrier, that was. injured, to-Mr. Prall's room. “Was Mr. Prall there?” asked Mr. Pugh. “Yes, sir.”” gi “Is his room adjacent to the balcony?” “Yes, sir.” “What did Mr. Prall say to you?” “He said he was going to New York,” answered Mr. Shawley.

Mr. Tourgee was not an origiaal McKin- Jey man.

Non-committal 47 Total membership of Senate.. Majority against schedule and trust. -6 I have made a most careful canvass of the United States Senate on the amended sugar schedule. The result shows a clear Majority against the schedule as it stands at present, and, if not materially amended to lessen the protection to the trust, the adoption of a general anti-trust amend- ment. Of the elghty-eight senators comprising the present membership of the Senate sixty-two were seen personally and their oa defined as given in interviews be- How Senators Stand. These are the senators who will vote against the sugar schedule, as reported by the Senate finaggs committee: ‘Allen, Mantle, Bate, Martin, eye Mills, jutler, Morgan, Caffery, Nelson, ‘Cannon, Pasco, Carter, Perkins, ‘Chilton, Pettigrew, Clay, Pettus, ‘Cockrell, Rawlins, vis, Roach, Faulkner, Smith, Harris of K: Tillman: larris of Kansas, man, ‘Harris of Tenn., Turner, Jones of Arkansas, Turpie, Lindsay, Walthall, Lodge, Warren, ‘McBride, White, McEnery, Wilson. There are forty-one senators in this list. and there are 6ix other senators who could not be seen, but who, I learn by conversa- tion with their colleagues, can confidently de counted the sugar schedule. They ere Messrs. Daniel, Earle, George, Kenney, Teller ard Vest. These are the senators in favor of the finence committee schedule: ‘Aldrich, Platt of Comn., Allison, Quay, ‘Morrill, Sewell. These are the senators who are non-com- mittal on the sugar schedule: Baker, rman, ‘Burrows, Hansbrough, Chandler, Hawley, Cullom, Hoar, e, urphy, Elkins, Pritchard, Fairbanks, Shoup, raker, Spooner, Gallinger, Wellington. Two. of the senators classed ag in favor of the schedule—Messrs. Allison of lowa ard Aldrich of Rhode Island—were not seen, both. being absent from the city. Serator Morrill of Vermont was non-com- ™mital when I saw him this evening, but he gan safely be classed as in favor of the schedule. It will be seen that if all those who were nen-committal and all not classified should vote in favor of the sugar schedule in its present form it is still doomed to defeat. | There is no doubt that the majority against the schedule will be much larger than that given .above.

It (Will Reccive a Judicial Construc- tiom im the Keim Case. The civil service law, particularly the sections of the Revised Statutes which provide for the promotion and retention in office of ex-Union soldiers, will soon be judicially construed by the Court of Claims. The case of Morris Keim is set for trial in tiie Court of Claims tomorrow morning at Ti o'clock, and is regarded by a number of others ready to bring cases as a test case. Early last year Keim filed a petition in the Court of Claims, alleging that in July, 1894, he had been unjustly and summarily dismissed from the Interior Department, where he was a clerk in the pension bureau, and that the dismissal was on ac- count of his: political faith, and that he ‘was a thoroughly competent clerk at the time. Keim asked the court to give him the amount of his salary for the period he had been out of the service. The govern- ment, by the Attorney General, filed a demurrer to the petition, and the court temporarily overruled the demurrer and ordered testimony to be taken and the case briefed on tRe facts and merits. The case fs now ready for trial, and will be argued both upon the law and the facts, the Tegal question involved being whether or not the Court of'Claims, or any other court, for that matter, can take jurisdic- tion of a case involving the exercise ef ex- ment, in dismissing a clerk from the serv- ice. This involves the consideration of the similar and dependent propositions as to whether the court is to become a quasi executive board of review to look into the official actions of heads of departments and substitute the judgment of the court for that of the executive in the manage- ment of the department, the dismissal of clerks, etc. It is claimed by the petitioner, however, that his case is stronger than if he relied only upon the civil service law, and he relies in a large measure upon section 1754, Revised Statutes, and section 3 of the act supplemental thereto. These sections pro- vide that persons honorably discharged from the military or naval service by rea- son of disability resulting from wounds or sickness incurred in the line of duty. shall be preferred for appointments to civil offices. And that in making redu and promotions preference shall be given these ex-Unton soldiers. The petitioner alleges that by his THE BELT RAILWAY.
