= ale to be occupied by two families, Timmons ‘was even more nervous than before. He told me he was sure that his wife would run and hide when she knew he was there, and that her relatives would say that she was not there. “When we crove up to the house one of Timmons’ litte boys, who was in the yard, ran in the house and closed the door. ‘This door ted to the portion wf the dwel- ling occupied by John, the son of William Hinton and his wife, and Mrs. Timmons and her two children. The other part was eccupied by old William Hinton and his daughter. We got out of the cart and tied the horse to an pple tree in the other yard. Old Mr. Hinton came out and sat down in a chair outside of the door of his quarters. Timmors walked up to him, knelt dc by him, put his arms around him and began to ery. Meeting Old William Hinton. “For God's sake,’ he szid to Hinton, “tell me where my wife and children are.’ “To this Mr. Hinton replied, saying: ‘She is not in here. “Then I asked Mr.Timmons to walk away, as I wanted to have a private conversa- tion with Mr. Hinten. Timmons walked @round the house, locking up to the win- dows, saying to Hir as he did so: ‘1 know she is here. 1 saw my child when we drove up.” “The old man and myseif walked down toward the barn talking over the trouble between Timmons and his wife, and in a few minutes returned to the front of the house, where Timmons joined us. Hinton said to Timmons: “Timmons, I have nothing to do with it. She is your wife. If she was here I wouldn't drive her away, and neither will I try to persuade her to re- turn to you.” Mrs. Timmons Sees Mr. Key: “At this Ume a woman came to the door of the other part of the hou: and I in- quired of her if Mrs. Timmons was there. She told me that she was and asked me to step In. I went mm and asked to see Mrs. Timmons. The latter came down siaii and told me her husband had treated her £0 badly, and she would not return to live with him. After I entered the house, by the way, the woman who had asked me in iecked the door and pulled the window shades down. I tried to prevail upon Mrs. Timmons to change her mind and consent to return to her husband, telling her of his undoubted repentan nd deseribing his sorrow at the separation. “At first she would not en to argn- ment. Tim » to the front window d called through to see her telling hira ated her so badly that sh: e him ever again. I asked llow her husband to come in ik with her at least, e in, iy Timmons declined, ad tr Timmons Allowed to Enter. “The woman who had admitted me sai he would net be permitted to hurt her, ard at last Mrs. Timmons consented to see her huband, and he entered the room. He sat on one side of it and his wife on the other, with Mrs. Jokn Hinton, daugh- ter-in-law of old John Hinton, and myself between them. Timmons asked to see his children, and his wife called to them come down stai Jest boy refused to come, and began crying, but the younger one came and sat on his father’s knees and kissed him. Timmons then pleaded with his wife to return to him, but she was obdirate and steadily declined to agree to do so She said, however, that he could take the older boy and she would keep the younger one. He declared that h> diart want the children, but wanted her. Meantime, while the husband aad 4 Mr. Hinton came in ard took a seat near the door. He did not join in the conversation by a3 much as a werd, but merely sat and listened. Pleading for Her Retar “After Timmons had pleaded and argued with his wife for three-quarters of an hour, éuring which time there was no sign of anger or recrimination on his part, but only repentant and earnest protests of being a good man in the future, he got up and went over and put his arm arouad ber, crying bitterly, and begged her to return to him. “She suill declined, however, to consent to do so. I looked at the time, and it was 3 o'clock, and I told Timmons we would have to leave, as we must get home before dark. He begged me to stay a little while longer. Twenty minut er I again told ‘Timmons that we must go, and started out to get the hors arm around his wife to kiss him good- aying he was going to leave, but she refused. The Murder Occurs. “I went out of the door and had probably gotten fifteen yards from the house when I heard the quick reports of a pistol. The shooting was extremely rapid. I think there were three shots fired inside the kouse. Then Mrs. John Hinton ran out door and started toward a corntield She was followed closely by ‘fim- mons, yho held pistol up pointed to- ward her and within two feet of her back. He fired she reached the ¢ ran scream the cornfield Timm r. At this shot she threw up her hands and staggered, but did not fail. She turned to the left’ and Timmons ran te the right and ran in my direction. He still beld the pistol in his hand. He ran toward the woods, a last I saw of him was when h at the edge of the woods for a mome fingered Lis pistol. He then the woods. The Scene in the House. “I ran into the house. Old Mr. Hinton | was lying on the floor dead in a pool of } blood, and Mrs. Timmons had been carried | up stairs. I immediatel, led Mr PB. Thomas, a neighbor of Hinton, and told him of what had occurred, and together we went to Ednor post office and notified a doctor and the authorities at Rockville. I then returned to Linden, and on my way b: otified Deputy Sherif Jones of the shooting. No one who had seen or talked with Timmons yesterday could e by any possible means conceived that he had any such desperate intentions. { bad no idea that Timmons was armed.” Excitement of the Neighbors. Immediately upon the news of the tragedy being learned, and it was rapidly dissemi- nated throigh the county by telephone from Ednor, a large crowd gathered, many of them beirg armed and much talk of lynching being indulged The examina- tion of the victims showed that Mr. Hin- ton had been shot twice through the heart, dying instantly, ard that Mrs. Timmons had received a ball in her right ear. Mrs, Hinton was shot under the shoulder blade. Dr. J. R. Batson and Charles M. Wings were quickly at the scene. It was discov- ered that the shooting had been done at such close quarters that the ear of Mrs. Timmons and the beard of Mr. Hinton had been burned by the powder. The ball that entered Mrs. Timmons’ ear had taken a downward course and could not be located. State's Attorney Alexander Kilgore, Deputy Sheriffs Payton and Suilivan and Justice of Alfred Fairall were early on the scene, aad a jury compored of Dr. Francis Thomas, foreman; 5: 1 P. Thomas, John Thomas, Sherman Tucker, James J. Johnson, William E. Johnson, John R. Coar® Samuei S. Barnes, Charle: Jackson, Edward R. Idings and F. B. Lizier was summoned and held an inquest over the body of John Hinton, and found that the latter nad “met his death from bullet Wounds fired from a revoiver in the hands of William Timmons, and that the murder was deliberate, with malice and fore- thought." Mrs. Timmons’ Dying Statement. The character of Mrs. Timmons’ wounds were such that she was unable to speak, her vocal powers having been paralyzed from the effect of the bullet. But in an ante-mortem statement which she wrote, in which she stated she believed she was going to die, Mrs. Timmons stated that she had been abused so by her husband that she was conipelled to leave home and re- turn to her father’s house, where she was shot yesterday. She said that just pre- vious to the shooting her husband had asked her father 10 persuade her to re- turn to live with him; that her father had replied that he had not asked her to leave Timmons and would not ask her to return to him. Mrs. Timmons further stated that her husband was sitting close to her side, and then almost immediately drew his or tel and shot her, and that he had said o} a of last week that he intended to e Steps to Apprehend the Murderer. ‘The Montgomery county authorities took | face. immediate steps to apprehend Timmons, and his descripticn wi telegraphed to Washington and Bajtimore, stating that he was about thirty years old, 5 feet 8 Inches tall, weizhed about 160 pounds, and had jong dark sandy mustache and dark-brown hair. He was neatly dressed in dark clothes, and was probably without a hat, as he left the latter at the Hinton house when he fled after committing the atro- cious deed. : Mrs. Timmons is about twenty-eight years old and was regarded as a quiet womar and entirely devoted to her chil- dren and domestic affairs. When Timmons was endeavoring to secure legal assistance to have his wife return to him he was asked if his wife had given him any cause for treating her so badly, and if jeaiousy had anythirg to do with it, and he replied in the negative with much erphasis, pay- ing a tribute to ker character. Hot on His Trati. No Ume was lost in finding the direction in which Timmons had gone. He had started, so it was ascertained, in the di- rection of Washington, but had made a detour through the woods and gone toward Baltimore. He was tracked in the direc- tion of Ejlicott City, and it was learned that somewhere in his Hight he had secured a cap. It was learned about noon today that Timmons had riden into Ellicott City this morning with a county constable, who was driving to that town and whom the fugitive asked for a lift. Of course the constable did not know the character of his companion At noon word was received that Timmons had been tracked within eight miles of Baltimore, and that officers from Ellicott City were in close pursuit of him. Descriptions of Timmons have been sent to all parts of Baltimore county, and the Baltimore city police and detectives have been instructed to look out for them. All the depots there are being watched, and every assurance is felt that Timmons will be captured before night. Seen Near Laurel. R. H. Watkirs, a driver, employed by R. H. Milistead of Laurel, Md., reported last night that he had seen Timmons near Scaggs’ Cross Roads while he was driving from the latter place to Laurel. A man stepped from the road into the bushes, and when Watk! came nearer he saw it was Timmons. nking the latter meant harm him, kins took caution to run and ass him. Watkins went directly to Laurel and notified Bailiff B. F. Robey, wio went in search of the man. Police Activity in Washington. ‘The news of the tragedy and a descrip- tion of Timmons was received from State's Atterncy Kilgore of Rockvilie by Inspector Mattingly about 6 o'clock last night. The imspecter, recognizing the seriousness of the crime, had all the police precincts noti- fied and the lieutenants of the seventh, eighth and ninth precincts gave special i structions to their mounted men to be on the lookout for Timmons on the roads entering the city. The fact that Timmons formerly lived in Virginia caused the au- thorities to think thei he would probably make bis way across the country to the river and return tc the section where he once resided. A telegram received late last night, however, stated that the man had been ‘seen in Laurel about 9 o'clock. It was reported from Ednor today that Mrs. Timmons was in a very precarious condition, but that there were slight signs of improvement. Mrs. John Hinton, it was said, would be brought to Garfield Hos- pital for treatment this afternoon. EMPIRE OF COREA. No Official News of the King’s Change of Title. No official confirmation of the report that the King of Corea has proclaimed himself emperor of that country has been received at the Corean legation here or at the Srate Department. Although there is no reason at either place to doubt the accuracy of the report, no explanation is vouchsafed for such action. If the king has adopted the title of emperor it is probably because of an apparent preference for that title, which is the one adopted by the countries with which it is most directly identified, such as China, Japan and Russia. It is not believed that the alleged change of title will entail amy. substantial change in the government of the country nor that it will involve any change in the form of addressing the reigning .monarch by the Department of State, which has uniformly adopted the native form of address, to wit: our highness, Ta-Cho-Sen.” Whether this is merely equivalent to “king” and not exalted enough for “emperor” is not known at the Siate Department, but at eny rate it will continue in use until the > pate is better informed on the sub- ject. The reigning monarch of Corea, whose name is Li Heui, succecded his predecessor, Ch "Yelenyong, in 1864. He is the thirtieth king in n since the founding of the present dynasty In of the so-called kings wer who never ascended the throne.

Special Dispatch to The Evenlug Star. CLEVELAND, Ohio, October 8.—Senator Hanna announ today that he would not accept Gen. A. J. Warner's challenge to de- bate. “I shall pay no attention to the so-called challenge,” said the senator. “I will not talk about it. I will simply ignore it. My time is taken up from now until the cam- He paign closes, and I have no time for any Joint debates. Of course, my time is at the command of the state republican commit- tee, but I know positively that there will be no debate between General Warner and inyself.” ——___ DI NUNZIO’S PLEA, Insists That He is Innocent of the Crime Charged. Bernadino di Nunzio, the Italian music teacher, who was recently indicted for criminally assaulting Dora Ax, the little daughter of his landlord, the 11th of last month, was arraigned before Chief Jus- luce Bingham in Criminal Court No. 1 this afternoon, the indictment being interpreted to him by Policeman Lombardy. Di Nun- zo entered a plea of not guilty, and will be tried probably next Monday. SS Colombia Match Monopoly. The State Department fs informed that Colombia has prohibited the importation, after today, of matches of ail sorts and boxes containing them. And all ‘such im- portations in the future will be confiscated. The match industry in Colombia is in the hands of a monopoly. All efforts to secure a modification of this prohibition in the in- terests of United States matches have proved unavailing, notwithstanding its in- justice is admitted. ————-_ eo -__ Former Washingtonian Dead.

LATE NEWS: BY Miss Cisneros Was Liberated by Two Young Men. THEY HIRED A ROOM NEAR PRISON The Escape Was Evidently Planned Very Carefully, ROPE AND REVOLVER FOUND eee HAVANA, October 8.—The -escape- of Senorita Evangelina €assio, otherwise Cas- sio y Cisneros (exélusively reported in a cablegram to the Associated Press last night) has caused quite a sensation in Havana. The investigation made by the authorities has developed a number of additional facts in the case. It is now asserted that the young woman escaped between 11 o'clock and midnight of Wednesday over the roof of a neighboring house, and through it to the street below, O'Farrell lane, and not into the street, where the police found a hand ladder. Officers Find a Bridge. On the roof of the adjoining house the authorities found three planks, each about three feet long and eighteen inches wide, joined together by strong hinges, so as to serve as a bridge, enabling a person to Fass from the roof of the prison to the roof of the house referred to. The authorities also found on the roof a Smith & Wesson revolver of large caliber, heaving its six chambers loaded, and a new knotted rope, which had evidently been uscd as a life line or guiding rope to en- able the escaping prisoner to cross the plank bridge which had been extended by her accomplice from the house near the Casa de Recojidas to the roof of that prison. The revolver, the knotted rope and the portable bridge, as well as other discov- eries made by thé police, show that the escape of Senorita Cassio was long and carefully planred. She must have been in constant communication with those who enabled her to escape from the Cassa de Ricojidas, where she was imprisoned with eleven other women. Details Are Romantic. Some of the details ef the young woman’s escape are quite romantic. It appears that a real estate agent named Mariano Fernan- dez, who was in charge of the house No. 1 O’Farrefl lane, deciares that he recently rented that building to two well-dressed young men. The latter seemed to be highly respectanie, hired the house for two months and paid the rent in advance. The building was poorly furnished, the principal room in it containing an old table, a washstand, a wardrobe, an antique side- board, six old chairs, six plates and two cats. But the young men seemed to be perfectly satisfied with their surroundings, and no notice was taken of them by the neighbors or by anybody else, in spite of the fact that the house was situated close to the prison in which a young Cuban girl, whose story caused such a sensation in the United States, was confined. When the rooms at No. 1 O'Farrell lane were searched the police, in addition to the articles already described, found a bag of lime, a can of paint and a large brush, which might be used for the appili- cation of either lime or paint. Fled in a Bed Sheet. Inside the window through which Senorita Cassio escaped the police discovered a bed sheet, and, as this apartment was her sleeping room, the authorities are inclined to believe that the sheet was used by the escaping prisoner to envelop herself with the object of deceiving her room mates. If she was unlucky enough to awaken them into the Lelief that she was moving about in her night clothes. The querter of the prison which was o2- cupied by Senorita Cassio is known as the new hall, for the reason that it was con- structed only seven months ago. It was set apart for the use of political prisoners, and was quite comfortable, compared with other Spanish prisons. STATE’S CASE MADE OUT. Closing of Rebuttal Evidence in the Luetgert Trial. CHICAGO, October 8.—The closing day of the rebuttal evidence of the prosecution in the famous Luetgert trial opened this morning with a continuation of the im- peachment evidence begun yesterday. Prof. Dorsey of the Field Columbian Museum was called to dispute the evidence of Dr. H. W. Allport, the principal expert for the defense. The youthful-appearing professor was loaded to the muzzle with information upon sesamoids, metacarpals, femurs, temporals and other bones which combine to form the human and animal physical structures. He had some hot shot for Dr. Allport and the other scientific gentlemen whose testimony if accepted in full practically branded him .as a stupid novice. As a preliminary to Dr. Dorsey's on- slaught, policemen were called today to im- sh certain witnesses for the defense who had identified a picture of Mrs. Lu gert as that of a woman seen in Kenosha, Wis., on May 3, 4 and 5. Detective Edward Wallbaum testified that Matt Scholey of Kenosha had told him some weeks ago that the picture did not look like the wo- man Scheley saw at Kenosha. According to the wituess, Scholey said he had nof noted the appearance, of the strange wo- man he saw in Kenosha May 4 to be able to identify her, much less a photograph. Detectives De Oelle and Dean gave im- peaching evidence with reference to other Kenosha witnesses who had sald the wo- man they saw was, to the best of their knowledge and belief, Mrs. Luetgert. Pref. Mark Delafontaine was called upon to impeach the evidence of Prof. Long of the Northwestern University with refer- ence to bones. He expressed views upon the subject in scientific terms directly at variance with the ideas of Prof. Long. eS MEINER CONFESSES. “DAD” One of the Men Arrested for Assault on Mrs. Gleason. CINCINNATI, Ohio, October 8.—A spe- cial to the Times-Star from Maysville, Ky., says that the ten prisoners received there from Newport last night for the brutal assault upon Mrs. Gleason had a night ot, excitement. “Dad” Meiner early in the night made a confession to Sheriff Plum- mer, and‘ the other prisoners ‘heard of it, and tried” to organize to punish him. They uttered angry threats and curses, and kept Meiner in a state of fear all night. Meiner’s statement has not been made public, except that he says there are inno- cent men in this party of ten, and he has given to the sheriff the names of others who are guilty. He says he does not pro- p6se to suffer alone. ; WRT WOMAN CHOKED TO DEATH. Ghastly Find of an Aged Hermit Near Pottstown, Pa. POTTSTOWN, Pa., October §8.—Gustave Harkness, an aged hermit, who lives in an old hut on the Schuylkill river, a short distance above this place, last night found the body of an unknown woman lying in the bushes. The woman had evidently been murdered. Her clothing was torn and disarranged, and from appearances she had been choked, as her tongue was protruding from her mouth. The bushes indicated a flerce struggle. The woman was five feet three inches it height, weighed 125 pounds and was about twenty years of age. Sh: wore a black dress, white skirt; black si button shoes. It is the woman was choked to death and then laid in the buzhes. —__ Cavalry to Go to Hagerstown.

NEW YORK, October &-—Silver scored a rise of one penny to twenty-seven pence in London today, and two cents to fifty-eight cents in New York. Bullion dealers are unable to assign any other cause for the rise than scarcity of supplies. The Indian demand of late has been quite heavy.

The company will have a capital of $10,000,000. A member of one of the firms interested said today that his firm had been forced to this action by the depression in busi- ness, caused by the sharp competition, which has resulted in several beer wars. “Out in Chicago,” he said, “the price has been cut down to $1.50 a barrel. In our section we have had a good market for our production, and a short time ago we were receiving $8 a barrel, but at pres- ent the price has been cut to $6 per barrel.” —_+ DE WAS FREDERICK CLAGUE.

Bridgeman Appointed Min- ister to Bolivia, PRESIDENT WILL GO HOME 10. VOTE Collector for the Port of Buffalo Selected. PLEA FOR MISSOURIANS The President today appointed George H. Bridgeman of New Jersey minister to Bo- livia; Ambrose E. Nowlin, collector of in- ternal revenue for the sixth district of Indiana; David W. Henry, collector of in- ternal revenue for the seventh district of Indiana. Dr. Bridgeman is a leading physician ot Elizabeth, N. J. He has been a life-long republican in politics, but has never betore held public office. He is represented to be a man of scientific attainments, and among his most earr.est supporters in his appli- cation for the Bolivian mission were a numbez of New York physicians. The en- tire New Jersey republican delegation were also his indorsers. ‘The Presidcnt has decided to go to Can- ton in November to cast his vote for re- publican nominees for state officers and members of the legislature. The President beJieves that a man should never neglect his suffrage, and holds that he is a better citizen who always casts his ballot. It is rot decided when the trip will be made. The President has a number of invitations from the vicinity of Canton to make visits, and he may go a few days before the elec- tion and remain a few days efterward. It will not be necessary for the President to go to Canton to register, as was the case with ex-President Cleveland when the lat- ter wanted to vote in New York. The Pres- ident can register by affidavit, the Ohio law providing for such cases. ‘The President, it is said, has no idea that his vote will be needed to pull the repub- lican ticket and Senator Hanna through, but he believes in the exercise of suffrage. Years ago he gave this advice on all oc- cesions, and he will now practice what he preached, The Buffalo Collectorship. Representative Alexander of New York, after a conference with the President, was told that his choicé for collector of the port of Buffalo would be appointed. Henry W.. Brendel is the man who is to receive the appointment. Gen. William Warner, for years one of the most prominent republicans of Mis- souri, had a talk with the President this morning, Missouri politics being the sub- ject. Gen. Warner was particular in urg- ing that the colored republicens of Mis- souri be recognized by the President. He said that there are 40,000 colored republi- cans in the state. Senator McLaurin of South Carolina was another caller of prominence. He has recovered from the illness which prostrated him during the recent campaign. General H. V. Boynton, accompanied by ex-Senator Willard W: er of Alabama, saw the President, as did Representative Hopkins of Illinois. After a Pension. “I wants ter see de President,” said an old,colored man to the policeman at the door of the White House today. He gave his name as Nat Tyler, “born up in Spott sylvania, but bin in dis town since it wus started.” “I wants my penshun,” said the old man. He was told to go to the pension office. “No, sar, I dun bin dar. Dey won't do nuffin. De Presdent knows who I is. Hain’t I dua talk ter him w’en he iive up yander?” pointing in the direction which the Presi- dent lived when in Congres “Did you know the President wher he was in the war?” “Who say anyt'Ing "bout knowing him in war? I know he fit in dem battles. I druv de amur:ation wagon in de Six Corpse, but Mr. Kinley know me, he do, and he'll gib me dat pension. “I jes’ tells yt T wus in so many battles dat I didn’t count 'em.

W’en de war wus over I druv dem six mules back ter Washington and guy dem to de gov’- ment down in South Washington. Dey dtdn’t guv me a ting, and I wants my pen- shun. ort Cabinet Meeting. The meeting of tke cabinet today was comparatively short and the business trans- acted of no great public interest. Prepara- tion of annual reports is engaging the cabinet officials, and there was more dis- | cussion of these affairs than anything else. Once more foreign affairs have taken a | back seat. The manufactured war scares do not even bring a word of comment from cabinet members. Mrs. Foster Against Mes. Lease, Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, president of the Women's Republican Association, has de- cided to actively enter into the New York city campaign. She was at the White House today, accompanied by Mrs. A. M.

Under Indictment Charged With a Heinous Offense. Isadore L. Barriere, the Frenchman who was indicted several days ago for commit- ting adultery with Mary Grady, his sister- in-law, and also for carnal knowledge of her, it being alleged that the girl is under sixteen years of age, was placed on trial before Judge Bradley in Criminal Court No. 2 today on the first charge. The testimony, or the greater part of it, was unfit for publication, the girl charg- ing that she is now in a delicate condi- tion as a result of her relations with the prisoner, relations, she explained, enforced by him, while Barriere stoutly and wholly denied the girl's charge: WEYLER’S RECALL ASSURED.

Phillips’ Membership—The Relations Between Messrs. Dun. lop, Glover and Himself, The announcement of the complexion of the building committee of the Capital Traction Company, noted in another col- umn, created a tremendous sensation in local financial circles. It has been well Known for a long time past that the most bitter relations existed between President Dunlop and Vice President Glover of the Capital Traction Company and Mr. Samuel F. Phillips, who has now been made a member of the building committee. Mr. Duniop and Mr. Glover have never in the recent past lost an opportunity to express their contempt of Mr. Phillips and the methods he has pursued in iocal railroad affairs, while Mr. Phillips has sought op- portunities to express opinions equaliy as Strong and in the same direction about Mr. Dunlop and Mr. Glover. Previous to the last annual election of the Capital Traction Company Mr. Phillips, who owns a thousand shares of the Cap tal Traction stock; Mr. A. B, Grunwell und other heavy hoiders of the Traction Company stock, who had openly expressed their dissatisfaction at the manner in which the affairs of the company were he- ing conducted, endeavored to secure the control of a sufficient amount of stock to elect a rew set of officers and directors. Efforts were made to secure the ¢)-opera- tion of large holders of the stock in New York city and elsewnere, but the men rep- resenting the administration of the com- bevy frustrated this attempt by giving the New York holders a voice in the manage- ment by electing a representative on the board or directors in the person of Mr. Manice. Assuaged His Disappointment. Mr. Phillips, it is declared with much freedom on the street today among those who are intimately familiar with tne af- fairs of local street railway companies, upon finding that his attempt to overtura the existing management of the traction company was futile, turned his attention to bringing about a change in the admin- istration of the Metropolitan Railway Company, of which he had been president, and, together with Mr. John C. Wilson and other stockholders in the Metropoli- tan Railroad Company, proceeded to secure the removal ef Mr. Georg: H. Harries, who had succeeded Mr. Phillips as president of the Metropolitan by reason of jat- ter’s activity in his behalf, which spired solely by the fact that Mr lips had learned of the abilities of Mr. Harries, with whom he did not even have a personal acquaintance previous to the latter's succession to the presidency of the ‘Metropolitan, This movement of Mr. Phillips was more successful than the one he had engineered in the Cepital Traction Company. Mr. Robert D. Weaver was elected to succeed Mr. Harries, and it was generally under- stood among the stockhoiders of that com- pany that Mr. Weaver merely figured as president, and that Mr. Phillips in his po- sition of advisory counsel was actually the moving spirit in the direction of the road. With all these facis so well known in finan- cial circles, the announcement of the se- lection of Mr. Phillips as a member of the building committee of the traction com- pany like a thunderbolt. Metropolitan Company Astoundea. To the owners and administrators of the affairs of the Metropolitan Railway Com- pany it was the cause of absolute amaze- ment. It was freely said by them that Mr. Phillips; in accepting such a position, was displaying bed faith. It was declared that he had been selected by the Metropolitan Company a@t a very large salary to under- take the construction of the underground system on the Metropolitan lines, and that his advice had been followed in the removal of the man who had done much to popular- ize the road with the general public and the Iccal and national authorities, and that now Mr. Phillips was wiliing to go to a ri- val company and give it the experience which he had gained solely in the employ of the Metropolitan Compan: It was also declared, witn much anima- tion on the street today, that the sclection of Mr. Phillips for the position on the building committee might probably lead to the withdrawal of Mr. Dunlop from the presidency of the road, as it aot re- garded as possible by those familiar with the open and notorious enmity existing be- tween the men that they sould work in harmony under-any -onditions, and these sume persons, knowing the antipathy felt by Vice President er of the Capital Traction Company Mr. Phillips, re- gard it as highly possible that the latter's selection on the committce been brought about largely by the influences that he, Phillips, failed 20 command pre- viously at the last annual cle Permit Applied For. There was an important conference this :afternoon between the committee repre- senting the Capital Traction Company and :the Commissioners upon the subject of a permit for the underground electrical con- struction along the lines of the Capital Traction road. President Dunlop, with Messrs. Henry Hurt and Samuel L. Phil- lips, made a formal request for a permit to do the work. They explained that con- tracts had been entered into with the Gen- eral Electric Company, and all they wer waiting for was a permit before beginn: the underground constraction. Vice President Griffin of the latter com- pany, at one time assistant engincer com- missioner of the District, was present, and said there would be no delay on the part of his company as to the electrical equip- ment. Commissioners Wight and Biack both stated there would be no trouble about the permit, and added that it would be prepared and issued at once. = While no member of the committee could give any definite idea as to when the rvad would be equipped, they all stated that not a moment would be lost, and that be- fore many weeks elapse electric cars will bé running on Pennsylvania avenue and 14th street. we Baltimore Markets.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS eee Special Dispatch to The Evenirg Star. NEW YORK, October 8.—Dullness and an undertone of strength were the chief char- acteristics of today’s stock market.
