Special Correspondence of ‘The Evening Star. GLENCARLYN, Va., September 48, 1897. The little town of Rosslyn was thrown into a state of great excitement about noon yesterday over the arr hael Law- ler, a saloonkeeper of that place, on a of selling whisky on Sunday. A for the arrest of Lawler was issued early yesterday morning by Justice Sellers of Aiexandria county, upon infor- mation furnished by William Van Horn, a carpenter, residing in Georgetown, but when the hour for the trial was reached, it is alleged, ull witnesses who were relied upon by the cution were spirited beyond the tion of the Rosslyn court, and, sccording to the statement of Justice Sellers, made late last night, it was impossible to secure any evidence which would warrant the detention of the pris- oner. When Officer Gaines, who served the warrant upon Lawler, arrived at the court reom with his prisoner he found every inch of available space occupied by interested spectators, many of whom, it is stated, were friends of the defendant. A few minutes after noon ‘Justice Sellers cenvened the court, and another so-called trial of the alleged “whisky ring’ began. Walter Walker, colored, a resident of the ccunty, who, it was stated, had furnished information to: the offic’ regarding the alieged violation of law, was called to the stand on behaif of the commonwealth and questioned as to his knowledge of the mat- ter. On the stand, however, Walker stout- ly denied any knowledge of the case, as did several other minor witnesses summoned to testify for the prosecution. It was broadly hinted that Lawler had been fore- warned of the approicning prosecuticn. Justice Sellers dismissed the case, stating that he regretted the failure of his efforts to secure a conviction in the matter. In coiversation with a Star reporter this morning a well known member of the metropolitan police force, stationed in Georgetown, said: “It seems to me a remarkable fact that Justice Sellers was unable to obtain his principal witness in the case, Van Horn. That man was in Resslyn within two hours after the trial, and he appeared much dis appointed at not being summoned to t ify at the trial.” ‘The reporter was unable to verify the atement that Van Horn was in Rosslyn t evening. ————r Alarm of Fire. An alarm was sounded from box 231 at “9 o'clock this afternoon for a blaze in a house on P street between 6th and 7th The fiames were easily extin- |, and the damage was slight. —— is Body Found. ‘The dead body of Isador Eopulicci, the insane marine who escaped from St. Eliza- beth's asylum Tuesday last, as stated in The Star, was found floating in the river rear Gieshboro Point just before 8 o'clock this afternoon. All trace of Eopulleci was lest after he had scaled the wall surround- ing the asylum. When taken from the river the body was found to be that of the missing patient. It was at once taken to the asylum, where al! doubt as to the iden- tity was pelled. Eopulicci, not being mentally responsible, undoubtedly fell into the river and was drowned. a Dr. Koch Makes a Correction. Dr. John A. Koch writes The Star from Watsontown, Pa., under date of the 17th instant, to correct a statement published the previous day to the effect that Dr, Ford was acting superintendent of Garfield Me- moria! Hospital during the month of Au- gust last. Dr. Koch produces a series of resolutions adopted by the board of di- rectors of the institution in support of the declaration that he, and not Dr. Ford, was the acting superintendent at that time, and that he was, in addition, the pharmacist for the institution, and also assistant resi- dent physician. —_——-——- Killed a Horse. While responding to an alarm of fire in the northwest section of the city today, ergine No. 12, in making a turn at 32th street and Rhode Island avenue, ran into a tree box, upsetting the engine. One of the herses attached to the engine was killed and the pole was brokea. An investigation is to be made of the accident by the chief of police. ts. — Wai a Separation. Katle Emerich today filed a bill in equity, in the Supreme Court of the District, pray- ing for a divorce from her husband, Clay- ton M. Emerich.

LONDON, September 18.—The Prince and Princess of Wales have announced their in- tention of paying several visits to London. in order to encourage the winter seasou, the tradesmen of the metropolis having succeeded in conveying respectful hints to hia royal highness that otherwise the season was certain of failure, which would be fol- ‘Iowed by a corsequent depression in trade, owing to-the social reaction which set in After the celebration of the queen’s dia- mond jubilee. “In spite of official frowns and attempts to suppress the chatter, it has leaked out that the detachment of foot guards quar- tered at the Tower of London swear the sentries on night duty have seen the ghost of Anne Boleyn, the unfortunate wife of the much-married King Henry VII, whe he caused to be beheaded on May 1%, 1536. The ghost of Queen Anne Boleyn is only supposed to appear on the eve of the death of a member of the royal family, and, therefore, the matter has been made the occasion for considerable gossip. Will Fight All Comers. The Marquis de Louville, it is announced, has gone to Paris with the object of chal- lenging all the detractors of Prince Henry of Orleans, so long as the prince is unable to wield a sword in his own defense. The King of Siam has returned to Tap- low court from France and will :emain there until October 1. The relations between the Duke and Duchess of Aosta, the former being ihe oldest nephew of the King of Italy, and the latter being Princess Helena of Or- leans, daughter of the late Count of Paris, are once more reported to be strained, and it is further stated that their separation only a question of a short time. Although they were only married about two years ago, in June, 1895, in June, 1898, the Fixaro announced that the marriage nad tuned out to be very unhappy for »oth par and that a judicial separation w. prevented by the intervention of of Aumale.

The idea is that, in place of such distinctive names as Canada, Aus- tralia, ete., ete., the designation of “Brit- ish Empire’ should be a ied to all the countri under British ruie. Under this plan Great Britain proper should be know: as “British Empire Centrai,"” Canada would be known as “British Empire Northwe: ete, The appalling number of cycling acci- dents is leading to demands for legislation to abate the public danger. There were ten deaths and a score of dangerous injuri: among bicycle riders during the first ba of the present week. Royal residence in Ireland now appears to be within reach since the queen seems to support the proposition. In a long letter to the Duchess of York, congratulating her upon the success of her recent tour, wiih her husband, in Ireland, Her Majesty asks if she would like to spend part of each year in Ireland. On the other hand, Mr. Michael Davitt declares the Irish do not want royalty in Ireland and ‘he asserts that the Duke and Duchess of York mistook Irish hospitality for loyalty. Mr. Wm. Waldorf Astor is about to ereci a huge Neapolitan marble fountain at Cliv den, his magnificent estate on the Thames formerly owned by the Duke of Westmin- ster. Already a score of blocks, each weighing twelve tons, have arrived there. Whistler's Works Cornered. It 1s unéerstood that a syndicate has “cornered” all of Whistler's future wo’ ‘in this country, securing exclusive con- trol, and that a gallery, exclusively Whisi- lerian, will skortly be cpened. About the middie of October an exhib!- tion will be opened at the Imperial Insti- tute of all the jubilee gifts and addresses presented to the queen during the cele- bration of her jubilee. Half of the pro- ceeds will go to the Prince and Princess ot Wales hospital fund, the contributions to that charity having fallen far short of ex- pectation, reaching only a total of £1 ($925,000). : The report of the asylums committee of the London county council shows there h: been an alarmirg increase in lunacy during the last nine years, especially in London While the population of London 14. the inhabitants of England, London’ portion of insane persons’ is 1 Cloye Shaw, an expert on the subject, says “There is no doubt that, as regards the future of lunacy, we are doing all in our power not to stamp it out, but to increase it” Which is largely due to the want of asylum accommodation, the technically cured being Gischarged before they are really cured, and thus adding further chances for trans- mitting lunacy. see SoS COINING SILVER DOLLARS. Estimated That About One Million Will Be Turned Ont This Month. Under orders from the Treasury D2part- ment the coinage of standard silver dollars has been resumed at all the mints. This coinage was suspended during the summer 4n order to enable the government to in- crease its stock of subsidiary and minor coins. The demand for such coins was large and promised to increase tor the fall trade, and the mint authorities directed all their energies to securing a supply sufficient to meet the demand. This has been accom- vlished and the coinage of silver doilars has been resumed. The coinage oz subsidiary coinage will be continued on a reduced scale. Director Preston said that there was no further significance in the action of the department. It is estimated that the coin- age of silver doilars this month will amount ‘toa million dollars. -—— 2+ Seattle as an Outfitting Potnt.

NERAL MARKET AE Ee REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, September 18.—Realizing sales, the natural incidents of an advanc ing market, were conspicuous features of today’s stock operations. London bought some stocks cover of the strength thus others in which profits had pr and under ted sold viously ac cumulated. The process was entirely fa miliar and made no impression on the strong speculative undertone. Lecally the volume of commission bu: was good and the most influential interes:~ in the street were identified wich the way ing of the grangers—Chesupoake Ohio nd Reading—the leaders of day’ movement. The Gould issues were disappointing, decline in Manhattan of nearly 3 pe: unsettling the entire group. The earnings of Missouri Pacific and Westetn Union prevented signiticant sell- ing, and once the advance becomes mor uniform these likely to ap pear to greater The coal roads have improved their mar ket concition during the week, and will at tract special attention from now on. The strike sitnation is a deterrent in- fluence in this particular instance, but con fidence in a satisfactory adjustment of ex isting dithcnities is almost general. From a spectacular standpoint the mov« ment ir. Consolidated Gas was the one fea ture of the day. In a period covering pei haps one-half hour the shares of this cor poration declined 101-2 per cent and rv covered & per cent. The decline was unjustified, hasty r probably to take profits, being responsiblr for the movement. The exact position of the shares in the reorganization, while rot officially stated, is certain to warrant the prevailing normal level. In view of the series of adverse influences which have been made to serve stock market purposes the net results of the week must be con strued most favorably to the main cit tion. The yellow fever scare, the mining difti- culties and delayed legal announcements at Washington have all served to embarrass the market for temporary perio instance, however, has a single decline been accomplished. The mé ability to resist bad news must be ted in consequence of the showing. the coming week there will be a derd record made fer Rock at least 4 per cent being re on as certain. With 4 per cent stocks selling at premiums in many instan- ces, it is but natural to assume that the predictions of par for the one in ques tion will be realized. Exchange rates and the enormous export movement of bread- stuffs make gold imports a probability dur- ing the coming week.
