NOTICE OF MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL Jury Divided and Return Under- stood to Be Compromise. THE RESULT A SUPRISE After deliberating nearly twenty hours, the jury in the case of Dan Williams, the ex-policeman who was charged with the embezzlement of $4,976.04 of fines collected by him in the Police Court for the District, returned a verdict in Criminal Court No. 2 this morning declaring Williams to be guilty on the third count of the indict- ment and not guilty on the other six counts. The jury also recommended the convicted man to the mercy of the court because of his ill-health, Mr. R. Newton Donaldson of counsel for Williams gave notice of a motion for a new trial and in arrest of judgment. Dis- trict Attorney Davis stated to Judge Brad- ley tWat, in view of the notice given by Mr. Donaldson, he would not ask that sentence be imposed today, and at the district at- torney’s request Williams was remanded to jail to await sentence. Matter of Great Surprise. Not only wes the verdict a matter of great surprise to those who closely followed the trial, but the jury's long deliberation was aiso as surprising, the general impression of those who had watched the case being that a verdict would be reached in less than an hour, and that if there should be any doubt of the guilt of the accused man it would be on the very count in the in- dictment on which a verdict of guilty was returned, the third. The indictment charged that from May 1 to 15, 1896, Williams em- beazied $926.08 of the fines collected by him for the District; from May 16 to May 31, $835.38; from June 1 to June 15, $153.07; from June 16 to June 30, $773.22; from July 1 to July 15, $853.77; from July 16 to July 21, $820.10, and August 1 to August 15, $0: It was the embezzlement of $153.07, be- tweep June 1 and June 15, 1896, of which the jury declared Williams to be guilty, and as to that count, the defendant's coun- sel claim that he was entitled to an ac- quittal, because, as they contended before the jury, it was shown that while but $464.76 of fines were imposed between June 1 and June 15, Williams deposited August 22 $20.36 to cover both collaterals and fines during that period. How the Jury Voted. It is understood that the first vote taken by the jury disclosed that nine of them be- lieved the defendant to be guilty as in- dicted, that is, guilty on all the seven counts, and three believed him not guilty. On the next ballot it is said the vote stood seven to five for a general verdict of guilty, ard that then those who believed in Wil- liams’ innocence gradually prevailed. Of course, the verdict is regarded as a com- promise one, but it was none the less sur- ising, particularly to Williams’ counsel, Tracey L. Jeffords and R. Newton son, who express the belief that a new trial will be granted their client. Wil- liams received the verdict calmly. The penalty for the offense is a fine of net more than $5,000, or imprisonment for not more than five years, or both. It was said today that an additional indictment against Williams will be returned, wit- nesses having, It is claimed, been summon- ed before the grand jury recently. a $1.60 to ‘Baltimore and Return $1.00 via Pennsylvania railroad.

[DAN WILLIAMS’ CASE [HEARING THE RETURNS | | | but | 2 Immense Throng Waited About tho Star Building. Pennsylvania Avenue Was Not Wide Enough—The Overflow Massed in 11th Street—Extra Edition. ee Pennsylvania avenue was not wide enough to accommodate the immense crowd that gathered in front of The Even- ing Star office last night to see the election returns thrown out by stereopticons on the big white screens, so the overflow massed itself on 11th street and received all the latest news by means of megaphones, which conveyed the intelligence to the ut- termost limits of the assemblage. It was the same kind of a crowd that always turns out on occasions of the sort, and a flash Photograph of it would have doubtless de- veloped the same forms and faces that made up the great throngs which congre- gated in the same place the day of the Fitzsimmons-Corbett fight, with the addi- .tion of rumerous feminine figures, whose Ppossessors were no less animated and in- terested than their escorts over the re- turns. Ohio and Maryland. The early dispatches indicated that Van Wyck was elected mayor of Greater New York, and interest was then transfetred to the results in Ohio and Maryland. Espe- cially keen was the curiosity regarding the oriole state, and while the election of Mal- ster as mayor of Baltimore was practically conceded, the crowds were anxious to know what had become of Gorman. Had he secured a majority of the next legisla- ture and assured-his own return to the Senate or had he failed to get a requisite number of legislators to have a majority on joint ballot?, The returns from Maryland were meager, and the same was the cuse with Ohio, so when midnight came and the crowds dis- persed there was nothing definite from either state for them to go to bed with save that Van Wyck and Tammany had triumphed in Greater New York, Malster been elected in Baltimore and that an actual count would in all probability be necessary to determine the complexion of the legislatures in Maryland and Ohio. There was little or no interest shown in the results in Kentucky, lowa and Nebras- ka save by individuals, the public mind be- ing taken up almost exclusively by the big fights. Democrats Delighted. The billiard room of the Metropolitan Hotel was occupied by a gathering of dem- ocrats, who listened with much satisfaction and enthusiasm to the early returns read cut by President James L. Norris of the Jackson Democratic Association, but the uncertainty about Maryland and Ohio dulled animation after a while, and anxiety was plainly evident on every face, while the crowd fervently prayed for Hanna's defeat and Gorman’s victory. There was a small gathering at the rooms of the republican congressional committee in the Postal Telegraph building,where Sec- retary Fred Schrader was in charge. The assemblage dispersed early, confident that Ohio was safely republican and that Mary- land was in the same category. Secretary Perkins had invited a few friends to the national republican commit- tee headquerters in the Glover building. During the evening there was the same Jack of definite information regarding Mary- land and Ohio that characterized the night elsewhere. . Enterprise of The Evening Star. The completeness of The Evening Star’s extra edition issued during the early part of the evening was remarked upon on ail sides and universal compliment was ex- tended to the enterprise behind it. In ad- Giton to the telegraphic news of the elec- tions in every state, showing the probabil- ities of the results, which later dispatches have verified, it contained the exclusive an- nouncement of the lamentable death of Judge Thomas Miller of the Police Court and a description of the scenes and incj- dents of the evening surroundng the recep- tion of the election returns. ; In Official Circles. In official circles the interest was intense, and many inquiries were made as to the results, particularly in Ohio and Maryland. In the absence of the President, his secre- tary and several members of his cabinet there was no gathering at the White House where the returns usually are received, Of the members of the cabinet, Secre- tary Sherman, Secretary Bliss and Post- master General Gary went to their respec- tive homes to vote, Secretary Alger is on a visit to Michigan, while Secretaries Long, Wilson and Gage and Attorney General Mc- Kenna are in the city. They spent the evening either at home or with friends, where they became acquainted with the results of the election. — ENSPECTING GRADE CROSSINGS. Tour of Commissioners Wight and Black and Results. Commissioners Wight and Black returned this morning from their inspection of the Pennsylvania railroad between this city and New York. They accompanied several of the railroad officials, it will be recalled, last Monday for the purpose of acquainting themselves.with the methods in vogue in other cities with regard to grade crossings and overhead and depressed railroad con- struction. They were much pleased with the trip, and obtained valuable information which will serve them well when the Penn- sylvania company changes its system in Washington. The first stop was made at Philadelphia, where the party inspected the approaches and the method of crossing streets. Engineer Brown of the railroad joined the party here and explained the details of construction. He said, among other things, that Philadelphia had passed an ordinance recertly which prohibited grade crossings in the future, and that where streets and avenues were projected the railroad would be compelled to cross the same either by an elevated structure or a depressed plan. At Trenton several engineering difficulties, somewhat similar to conditions to be found in South Washington, were examined, and the method used by the railroad in over- coming them approved. Newark, Elizabeth and New York were also visited. The Com- missioners feel assured of the hearty co- operation of the railroad in overcoming the situation in South Washington, which has been so long maintained to the detri- ment of the best interests of the city. ee The Superb Service of the Pennsylvania railroad is its greatest adver- tisement. To Philadelphia and return next Sunday for $2.00.—Advt. —— DEATH RATE BELOW NORMAL. Statistics Furnished by the District Health Department. The death rate of the city continues. be- low the normal. The mortality in the Dis- trict of Columbia during the last week was Si, as compared with 107 in the correspond- ing week of last year. Of the decedents, 49 were white and 38 colored. The death rate, accordingly, for each thousand inhabitants was 16.3 for the white, and for the colored 22.4. There were eleven deaths from consump- tion, eight from diseases of the circulatory organs, elght from acute jung affections, five of which ‘vere from pneumonia, and nine from diseases of the nervous system, four being from meningitis. Of the zymotic class there were three fatal cases of ty- phoid fever, two of diphtheria and one from whooping cough. During tke week eleven new cases of diphtheria were reported, and five cases were returned as having recovered, thus leaving for‘y-five cares under treatment, as against thirty-nine at the last report. At the close of last week there were thirty-four cases of scarlet fever under treatment.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 3, 1897. The election in this city yesterday, as anticipated: in The Star, passed off quietly and withoat any disturbance to mar the day. While the vote was not large, still it was a fairly good one in view of the fact that the democrats feit the day was theirs, anyhow, and appeared to take but little in- terest in the election beyond going quickly to the polls and casting their votes. At no time during the day was there a crowd at any of the precincts, and one would hardly have known it was election day. The only_ripple of interest was caused yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock, when it was discovered that the republican vote in one or two precincts was larger than that of their opponents. Democratic lead- ers were notified, and in a few minutes vehicles of all kinds were pressed into ser- vice and for a while democrats rolied up to the poils in large. numbers. .The total vote of the city was about 1,760. The following is a statement showing how the vote was cast for the democratic and republican candidates. There were about 300 scattering votes cast for candidates on the ticket who were “not in it,” so to speak. Crowd at Star Bureau. The polls had hardly closed before the people began to assemble in front of the bureau, where it was announced that: full and complete returns of the election in the city and throughout the country would be promptly displayed on mammoth bulletin boards, arranged for the occasion. Within a few minutes after the voting ceased the official count for the city was announced by the megaphone operator and then post- ed, and it was more than an hour before these returns were announced at any other newspaper office, and even then they were secured from The Star’s official count. In the meantime the bulletins from out of town began to come in. They were promptly read through the megaphone and posted on the bulletin boards for those ar- riving later to read at their leisure. In this feature The Star also lead, being the first paper to give the Alexandria people the news. During the evening the leading politicians and city officials made the bureau their headquarters. ‘The reading of the bulletins by mega- phone seemed to eatch the crowd, as the figures announ@ed could be heard by those who could not get near the bulletin boards. Then, too, it was*a novelty, as. a _mega- phone had nevér before been used for such purpose in this*eity. ‘The bureau is-indebted to Mr. Will Wood, engineer of thé Columbia Fire Company, for the loan of the megaphene, and to the Postal Cable Telegraph Company for the prompt ard efficient manner in which the ews was furriished by The Star's special wire direct to the stenes of the great fight.

The matter was re- ferred to a special committee, which was directed to call on the brewers relative to the matter. The secretary was directed to communi- cate with the brewers and ask them when it would be convenient to have the com- mittee call. Delegates from the Hod Carriers’ Union were admitted and obligated. The local Federation of Labor at its meeting last evening decided to permit the use of its hall for the holding of meetings intended to secure suffrage in the District of Columbia. Reference was made to the death of Hen- ry George, and the event was much de- plored by each speaker. The secretary was directed to communi- cate with the managers of the two brew- eries recently started here, and ask that they sign a contract not to discriminate in favor of any particular labor body.

Columbk: Heights Association Di- vides om Motion to Indorse. After discussing at great length a resolu- tion indorsirg the verdict of the jury of appraisers in street extension case 419, Den- ison and Leighton’s subdivision of Mt. Pleasant and Pleasant Plains, the Columbia Heights Citizens’ Association, at its regular monthly meeting last evening, referred the matter to a special committee, with instruc- tions to report at the next meeting. The motion was introduced by Mr. Tan- dict, it was the object to place the associa- tion on record as opposing any plan of strect extension which does not divide the cest thereof equally between the District end the United States, and which proposes an assessment of benefits on contiguous territory. Mr. O’Ferrall and others opposed the adoption of the motion on the ground, as they contended, that it would be in bad taste to .ndorse the jury for doing their sworn duty. Those opposed to the resolu- tion explained that they are heartily in favor of the remaining part of it, and after @ motion to amend it by striking out the Proposition to indorse the verdict had been lost by a tie vote of 12 to 12, the motion to refer the matter to a special committee, offered by Mr. Campbell, was adopted by a vote of 12 to 10. The stringing of telephone wires on Princeton street was called to the attention of. the association by President Baliinger, who explained that in obedience to a reso- lution of the association he had endeavored to obtain from the District Commissioners their authority for granting a permit for the erection of the poles, but he regretted to inform the association that, while the Commissioners have not refused to give the dgsired information, it has not yet been re- ceived by him. Mr. Ballinger stated, upon the authority of Captain Burr, assistant engineer commissioner, that the permit was granted under the provisions of an a priation bill allowing the temporary erec- tion of poles and wires in alleyways, but he believed the poles on Princeton street were erected unlawfuliy, and he hoped some member living on that street would permit the use‘of his name in an effort to obtain the removal of the poles and wires by the institution of a suit. Mr. Arthur S. Browne stated that he would be willing to permit the use of his name, and President Ballin- ger promised that the suit would be at once commenced. A motion offered by Mr. Jefferys, instruct- ing a special committee to wait upon the officials of the Metropolitan railroad and ascertain their intentions respecting the ex- tension of their road in the vicinity, was adopted, as was one offered by Mr. Camp- bell, instructing the secretary to request the District authorities to lay board waiks on the streets which lead to the village school. Mr. Lansburgh, from the school commit- tee, reported that the committee had waited upon Commissioner Ross and requested ad- ditional accommodations for the school children of the vicinity, and had been in- formed by Mr. Ross that there is a fund for the renting of additional rooms, and the committee was instructed to secure some suitable building, if possible. The following were elected to member- ship: Thos. B. Sanders, Frank C. Skinner, J. R. Conwell and Mr. Young. a The trustee’s sale of the three-story brick dwelling No. 2213 F street will take place tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock.

Falling Of in Applications for Liquor Licenses, The new liquor license year has fairly opened, and the excise board is preparing to solve the problem presented by 341 ap- Plications for retail licenses and 136 whole- sale licenses. There has been a slight falling off in the number of applications filed. Last year 579 for bar room licenses received action at the hands of the board. Of this number 547 were granted. This year only 541 applications have been filed, a falling off of 38. In the wholesale list there is a falling off of 20. Last year 156 applications were filed, of which 7 re- ceived favorable action. This year 136 is the total number presented. All of the applications have been distrib- uted according to police precincts, and for the next month the policemen will be engaged in verifying the signatures of the owners and residents in the neighbor- hood of the saloon, Board Your Fine Horses At Downey's model stables, 1622-28 L st.— Advertisement. —————___ Death of Col.

He emigrated from Ohio to Virginia In the 40's and enjoyed the friendship of many distinguished men. He was the first man to recommend Gen. Phil Sheridan for appointment to West Point, and the latter frequently invited Colonel Filler to his home while residing here as general of the army. Colonel Filler Was personally acquainted with General Grant, as well as Generals Mosby, Mahone and “Stonewall” Jackson. — Fat is absolutely necessary as an article of diet.
