subject which dominated and almost excluded all
others was the question whether Hayes or Iildcn

Groups of excited politicians were much less

tired Of discussions and claims, and were impatient

AN INTERVAL IN THE POoL-sELLN

AN INTERVAL IN THE POOL-SELLING.
At John Norris>ey's pool-roOms last evening
an announcement was made about o'clock that no
more pools would be sold the elections and that the
pooboves were closed Previous TO that time pools had
been selling from so 10 $50 on Hayes to 800 on Tlden.
The bulletins announced that bets majoritie in New
York state ana Indiana would be- paid on application.
Tie pretended FOR closing the poObOxes was that
Mor.ssey was satisfied that TIden was elected,
and he was not willing 70 rec i've money when there
was no risk 10 be encountered. After interval Of
about two hours however, the p)obOxes again de-
cacd open and the sale OF pools resumed briskly,
Morr!sscy stating that the delay in making the returns
from Louisiana would render the election Of Tilden
doubtful for week Tien continued 10 sell in
the pools for 500 against $50 aud $40 on Hayes.
There has been suspicion among Republicans
who have made wagcrs that Hayes would be elected,
that John Morrsscy might take charge Of Republican
fraud in Florida or Louisiana as sufficient excuse for
declaring ali bets on Morrsscy. IN conversation with
TsBrNr reporter, said he had told nobody that bets

The objection to the ordinary article Is its siou

always have In their employ persons abundantly
competent to write an advertisement ia any de-

WHO Is LIABLEI
Liability of the District fer the Condition Of |
the Streets Under the Old Corporation.

Liability Of the District fer the Condition Of
the Streets Under the Old Corporation.
The case Of Francis y. Dant against the Dis
trict OF Columbia was yesterday heard before the
Supreme Court Of tine Uli:ed States on writ of
error to the Supreme Court of the District, involv
ing the question Of liability of the District for the
condition Of the streets and highways under the
old corporation Of Washington. The plaintiff
was hurriedly going to the apothecarys for medi-
cine on dark, rainy night in November, ISL,
through an ally intersccting Delaware avenue,
and fell down the enbanknent formed by the
lower grade of the west side Of the avenue, and
which was the work Of the authorities under the
charter of the city of Washington. Being 10.
jured, he brought his action for damages, and the
court held that the District was not liable for the
condition of the public streets under the old cor
poratioD, and that the Board of Public Works.
and not the District, was responsible IN any case.
A verdict was directed for the District and It was
now eoltsnGed that the establishment Of mu-
bicIpal government by Congress carried with it
the municipal power to widen and improve
streets, and hence responsibility for the condition
o. the streets, and that tho Board OF Public
Works was merely Ministerial boty . carry
out the ordinances OF the municipal authority,
and was without any responsibility whatsTe-.
