THE DEMOCRATS INACTIVE.
With Coy in Jail They Are at Loss How to
Arrange for the Coming Campaign.

The Democrats have done very little respect
ing the township election With Gov in jail
they are deprived Of his activity and methods in
bringing candidates early in the field. In moth
ing has his hold upon party management been
so significantly demonstrated in the alb
sence of all hope the part Of his fol-
lowers in accomplishing anything this
spring. There 10 no organization, no
work. and. as affairs look now. the coming
township convention will be matter of form
merely to nominate men who are willing to ac-
cept certain defeat for the sake of saving the
party machinery from ruin. There is faint
hope that the little boss will be saved from the
penitsntiary in time to give his attention to the
wants of the gang, without the active labors of
which the Democracy cannot count on even a
possibility of success. So complete 10 the
confusion in the committee and among
those who would like to take charge OF the cam
paiRn that no one knows exactly where to begin.
Persons who, under other circumstances, would
gladly sacrifice themselves for the minor Offices

at all times the desires of their followers are

disclose any purpose: II the 60. party has any All

been announced It is said that two Democratic
justices of the peace will be provided for by
order from the County Commissioners. A few
weeks since the commissioners ordered that
only three were to be elected, but the law gives
them power to create additional justices when
ever they see fit With tho three Republicans
elected the Commissioners will doubt come
to the aid of their party by creating two more
justices, one of whom. it is understood, will be
Luke w alpole and the other John M. johnson.
But the effect of Coy's forced retirement from
the political field is observable in the inactivity
of his following relative to the county election
this fall. Candidates for sheriff only are will

election. but he is to be opposed by Alderman

THE BARRIERS SUNDAY CUSTOMERS.
Shops Being Closed No Opportunity Was Civ
en- Them to Get Shaved Yesterday.

The BARRIERS enjoyed q whole days rest yester-
day for the first time on Sunday for good many
years The journeymen appeared to be much
pleased with the new order of things, but the
bosses, with few exceptions, shook their heads
and condemned movement which they say will
affect their business seriously. In pursuance
OF a resolution adopted by the bosses at q meet
ing held at the Grand Hotel last Friday, mono of
them opened their shops, and the police and
watchers from the Sunday Closing Association
who were out looking for violators of the law
had nothing to do. At nearly all the
shops many of the Sunday morning
customers, who did not know of the
closing movement, were onI hand TO get
shaved, and there was considerable grumbling
when they found the shops all locked Nearly
all the bosses, anticipating there would be many
customers who would not understand what was
the cause for closing, hung OUT signs throwing
some light on the change in old custom.
Some simply put up card Bearing the notice,
mot open to-day" but others took occasion TO
humorous character On the door of an East
Washington shop was a card which read, mot
open to-day; gone fishing" and on the door OF
Delaware-street shop Was a notice that the

that This shop is for rent on Sunday mornings

The bosses decided to close yesterday because
they had not fully determined on what they will
do. A meeting has been called for Wednesday
evening when legal advice will be taken, and II
it will warrant the movement the shops will be
opened next Sunday so as 20 test the matter IN
the courts. The bosses think the courts VIII
hold that their work is necessity. and therefore
permissible the SABBATH. During the terms
of Mayors Grubbs and Gavin efforts were made
to close the shops, but both OF these officials
held that shaving was a necessity The cases
were never carried to the higher courts, and the
Supreme Court has never. it is said, fully found
on this question. There is not mnch money
IN keeping open on Sunday forenoon" said a
barber yesterday morning, ''but we do it for the
accommodation of our customers. Nearly all
the laboriug men have been in the habit of get
ting shaved on Sunday morning. It is about
the only time they have. They quit work
at o'clock Saturday evening, and
many OF them can not reach home
before 6 o'clock. After supper they are COM
PEELED to spend hour two laying in pro-
visions for Sunday. and IL they have to 60 to

good many of the BARRIERS believe that the
closing movement was put foot by the saloon
men. who. having to obey the liquor law. desire
to make trouble for other branches of business.
The saloon keepers, however, deny that they
have done anything of the kind.

Waiting for the Decision.

Judge Harlans ruling in the conspiracy case
is not expected until tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock. When court adjourned Saturday night
he notified the attorneys that il he could meet
them to-day he would inform them. ard as they
heard nothing from him yesterday it is sup
posed he will not be ready for them this after
noor. Coy and Bernhamer spent very quiet
day in jail yesterday. They received but few
callers. Both are detected, Bernnamer being
especially They express themselves
highly pleased with the effort made in their
behalf by their attorneys, and profess to
believe that Judge Harlan will give them their
liberty. Their demeanor. however, indicates
that they have little hope, and that they have
about made up their minds that there is moth
ing left for them but to go to the penitentiary.
Coy seems to be resigned TO his fate, but Bern
hamer is worrying much over his business af-
fairs, which are said to be greatly complicated.
One of the attorneys for the defendants said
last night that the outlook for a decision favor
able to the prisoners was not encouraging.

A Day of Midwin.er Effect.

The disagreeable weather yesterday morning
became more as the day advanced Occas-
ionally the sun would break through the dark
clouds and make outdoor life comparatively
pleasant for few minutes, but all day long the
cod wind from the northwest had midwinter
effect. The sudden change caught many fami-
lies with empty coal scuttles, and several coat
dealers at the urgent request of their patrons
sent out their delivery carts The only persons
aside from the coal-dealors who welcomed the
falling mercury were the ice dealers. who hope
the cold will remain long enough to make good
ice. The crop harvested so far they say is very
light, and they would be willing to paw some
thing for weeks steady cold weather

Attractions ut tn. rheater..

One Of the notable theatrical engagements OF
the season is that of tho Held by the Enemy"
company, which begins at the Grand tonight
and runs throughout the week. with matinees
on Wednesday and Saturday. The play is con-
coded to be the best purely American drama yet
written, and to those who are unacq tainted
with its originality and remarkable interest
performance of IL will be little less than reve-
lation. 1t made the most pronounced bit of any
new play seen here last season, and the inter-
est felt in its coming presentation 10 indicated
by the already large advance sale of seats. The
changes that have been made in it, especially in
tho third act eaid TO make it stronger
than before. The production here will be by the
same company, and with the same scenery and
effects, as we're employed in the recent long run
at tho Star Theater, New York. The papers of
other cities agree that it is much better pre-
scented this season than before.
The attraction at the Museum all this week
will be the sensational comedy-drama, new to
this city. .The Boy Tramp as presented by the
auihoress, Nine. Neuville, her son, Aueustin
Neuvile, and their company. The play has
been a success in their hands elsewhere. The
engagement will begin with matinee this after

Married Women Come to Blows Over
Handsome Bachelor Pastor.

FROM TOE 81, raul ftOnSef-f TeSS.
WEST CLIFF, Col, May IA church
scandal, which has been brewing for some
time, eliminated yesterday in a most sensa-
tional manner. The parties involved are
the pastor, Rev. H. j. Ulsn, young, hand
some, and single, and two married women,
members of his church, named Mrs Kow-
kowsky and Mrs. J. B. Jackson.
For some time it has been common gossip
here that Mrs. Kowkowsky had taken
great fancy to the young divine, and was
very marked in her preference for his So
ciety. The Rev. Mr.. Ulsh, however, it now
transpires, did not reciprocate her affection,
and reminded her of her duty 10 her huS-
band and to the church. Frequent rebuffs,
however, only seemed to increase the
woman's infatuation, and she was SO per
sstent in her overtures that the Rev Mr..
Ulsh even went so far as to lay the ma tier
before the elders of the church and sug-
gested his resignation OF the pastorate. No
one suspected that the prosecuted
preachers morals were not all
that they should be, and public
sympathy was entirely with him. This
congregation being too small to employ
him for all his time, he occupied the pulpit
in the neighboring town of Red Springs
every other Sunday. One of the most
prominent and Jealous members of this
congreg CATION was a Mrs. X. b. Jackson
between whom and the minister there soon
sprang up friendship much stronger than
was justified by their church relation of
brother and sister He was very frequent
ly called to Red Springs, and Mrs. jackson
as often had occasion to come to West Cliff.
This condition of affairs soon reached
Mrs Kowkowsky's ears, and she determined
upon an investigation. Yesterday after
noon Mrs jackson visited West Cliff and
Immediately repaired to the Rev. Mr.. Ulsh's
study. Learning of this Mrs. Kowkowsky,
secreting a whip in the folds of her dress,
also visited the study, and finding Mrs.
jackson there, struck her several times over
the head and shoulders People in the
house came to the rescue, and Mrs. Kow-
kowsky was carried away raving. 1t is
feared she will become insane.
