SUPREME COURT BUSINESS.
The Jugigo Case Advanced-Also the
b. and o. Theatrical Rates Case

The Jugigo Case Advanced-Also the
b. and .. Theatrical Rates Case.
The Supreme Court OF the United States
today granted the motion to advance the case
OF Shibuga Jusigo, who is under sentence Of
death by means of electricity in New York state.
and assigned the case for argument on the third
Monday in November, after the cases already
set down for hearing on that day.
The court also advanced the case Of the in
terstate commerce commission against the Bal
tinore and Ohio Railroad Company, but stated
that the date of hearing would not be fixed IN
til there was full bench. The commission de-
cided that the railroad could not give special
rates to theatrical companies and when the
road refused to discontinue the practice
brought action in Circuit Court to compel it to
respect the commissions decisions. The court
held that special rates to theatrical companies
was not discriminating and decided against the
commission. The case comes there on an ap-
peal by the commission.
The vacancy in the assignment Of justices to
circuit court duties caused by the death Of
Justice Miller, was filed by the assignment Of
Justice Brewer to Justice Miller's old circuit.
The court advanced the case of Manchester
against the state of Massachusetts,, involving
the question whether Massachusetts, or the
United States has jurisdiction over BuZzard's
bay, and assigned the case for hearing the
third Monday in November.

A GREAT "DEAL'' IN PROSPECT.
The Vanderbilts Looking About for q
Line to the Pacific

Line to the Pacific.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-The Tribune this morning
says: J. Pierpont Morgan's present trip to the
west has more significance than is generally
supposed.
The opinion is that Mr.. Morgan's visit means
the speedy contamination of another Wander
biit deal more startling in its nature than the
much-talked-of Union Pacific Northwestern
deal. The fact is generally known that Drexel
Morgan X Co. hold a controlling interest in the
Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Belt line and the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad.
Their intention is to bring these roads into
the Vanderbilt fold. The opinion is expressed
that this will be done as soon as Mr. Morgan
has returned to New York. Those who
are on tho inside pretend to know
that before many days have passed
traffic agreement similar to that existing be-
tween the Union Pacific and Northwestern will
be made between the Northwestern and Mil
waukee and St. Paul, and it is even predicted
by some that consolidation Of the two systems
will be made
The consummation of the deal outlined in the
foregoing will give the Vanderbilts the absolute
control OF gigantic railway system from New
York to Ogden, Utah, and all they would need
Will be the control OF the Central Pacific branch
OF the Southern Pacific to give them indcpend-
ent lines through from the Atlantic to the Pa
cltc coast with terminals both at San Fran
cisco, Cal. and Portland, Ore, the Oregon
Short line of the Union Pacific already fur
nlshlng an outlet to the latter point

ISlRCHALL'S ONLY HOPE.
A Demand for a Reprieve Both In
Canada and England.

SabaUa ana England.
A correspondent writing to the London, Ont,
Adcert ser says:
I'm February last Frederick Benwell was
murdered. In November next Reginald Brchall
will be murdered, the difference between the
two being that the one was illegal and the
other legal. Tho writer shares the opinion of
thousands that the jury founded their verdict
upon their preconceived notions. rather than
upon the evidence adduced by the crown. The
press would have US believe that the verdict
was righteous. But there are thousands who
do not coincide with that view. To very many
the action Of the jury was a forcible
reminder of the judge who upon one
occasion said he would consider the evidence
for week and then give verdict in
favor of the plaintiff. We do not approve of
Birchalls deception ill enticing Benweu to Can
ada. But with prejudice strong, and more
and more intensified by the tone of the press no
twelve men of unbiased minds could scarcely
be found in Oxford county. The trial of Birch
all partook of the nature OF bloodhound
chase Detective Murray being the loudest
barker 1t looks devilish and cruel to send
man to the Gallows upon such fiimsy and cues
tionable testimony. and we shall hope that
through some agency, human or divine, Birch
all may escape the rope. And shame upon the
intelligence of our fair dominion that it should
longer perpetuate that relic of barbarism-the
gallows."
The minister of justice is daily in receipt Of
letters from England praying that, if a COM
mutation is not granted, at least the carrying
out OF the execution may be delayed until sew
eral important points in the evidence secured
since the trial and conviction may be more
carefully inquired into.

The Washington and Western Maryland
Company's Charter Purchased.

SOmpany's Cnarter purchased.
An important step has been taken toward en-
larsing the railroad facilities of this city, A
company of well-known citizens of the District
has just completed the purchase of the
charter of the Washington and West
ern Maryland Railroad Company. The
road was authorized by the joint action Of
Congress and of the state of Maryland to con-
struct steam railrord from q point north Of
the Aqueduct bridge between the bed of the
canal and the Potomac river to tho District
line and thence north and west to
Williamsport The road has never
been constructed and the District por-
ton of the charter expires in March, 1892.
The gentlemen who have acquired the rights
to the charter of this road intend to build the
District part of the road at least within the
time specified by The charter, They
have not yet completed the de-
tails of their plan, but they have
proceeded with the organization of the COM
pany by the election OF the following board of
directors: Edward j. Stellwagen, J. Maury
Dove, Thomas Downing, A. b. Cropley, John
Leach, Fl. G. Gilbert aud J. J. Darlington.
Three members of the present board were
incorporators OF the original company, namely,
Messrs. Cropley Gilbert and Bowling.
/. One of the directors of the new company
told a STAR reporter today that it was the in
tentlOn 10 Dullu tnls ROAD as soon as Dractl-
cable. They believed that necessity existed
for a road in that locality, and for
this reason they had gone into the
enterprise. In regard to the rumor that the
Baltimore and Ohio Company had purchased
this charter. the director said that the Balti-
more and Ohio had no interest i'll it, but il
they wanted TO use the new road they had an
equal chance with other companies who were
anxious TO enter the District from this drec-
ton 10 make contracts for running over the
road

ON THE MEXICAN BORDER.
Report Of Brig. Gen. Stanlsy-Lawless-
ness and Murders-Sick Soldiers.

Report of Brig. Gen. Stanlsy-Lawless-
ness and Murders-Sick Soldiers.
Brig. Gen. Stanley in his report to the War
Department of the operation Of tho army under
his command In the Department Of Texas has
no marked events to record His soldiers have
greatly suffered from fever, which was almost
| epidemic, but fortunately not death occurred
among his troops The fever seemed to have
been occasioned to great extent
by the drouth, which dried up the
| streams aud water holes. In this connection
Gen. Stanley says that exchanges Of troops into
the Department Of Texas should be made in
the fall season, SO that they can become accli-
mated by summer. As rule, he says, the re-
lations with our Mexican neighbors have been
friendly and the Mexicans appear to
be anxious that no violations Of inter-
national law should occur, but at times
attractions Of it are made by revolutionists
crossing the frontier and using the left bank of
the Rio Grande as IL coign OF vantage to swoop
down on the Mexican authorities. This &C.
Cured in June last. when Capt. Sleevers cap
tured. on information furnished by the United
States consul ut Laredo, Gen. Sandoval and o
number of revolutionists. At the time OF their
capture they were
HIDING IN THE HIGH GRASS
along the banks of the Rio Grande and were all
nearly Naked as they were on the point Of
swimming the river. The prisoners are still in
Jail awaiting trial. Attention is directed to the
fact that much lawlessness and many shocking
murders have occurred in the territory south
Of the Southern Pacific railroad In most
cases the murderers are Mexcans who, after
committing their crime, escape to Mexico.
While it is q delicate question to determine
whether the matter of prosecuting this lawlcss-
ness and crime is a subject for the state police
or the United States military to handle, Gen.
Stanley says that he has made arrangements to
establish
PATROL OF THE RIO aRANDE RIVER
in the hope of preventing such crimes in the
future. He recommends that company post
be established at De Rio, which is, in his
opinion, the proper place for a military post
and to abandon Fort Clark. Contrary to
popular belief on the subject government mules
In Texas grow old and die. and Gen. Stanley
urges that younger and more efficient animals
be supplied to replace those now in the service
and to fill the ranks that have become depleted
by death.
He notes as peculiar effect of the climate
on the soldier that now with excellent quarters,
fever prevails to a great extent among the
soldiers, while twenty years ago. when they
lived in tents, q sick soldier in Texas was q
rarity.

SUED FOR ISLANDER.
Mrs. Jordan Wants $50, 900 Damages
From Her Divorced SPOUSE


From Her Divorced Spouse
Mrs. Catharine q. Jordan Of Brooklyn, NY,
has brought an action in the Kings
county supreme court against her divorced
husband, Jos. v. jordan, for the recovery
Of $4,000 damages for alleged SANDER. Mr..
Jordan is the manager of the Hotel Hamilton,
at Fifth avenue and AID street, New York, and
of summer hotels at Richfeld Springs, Saratoga
and Schooley's Mountain. He married Catha-
rine Conway in Brooklyn in 1873, and the pair
have two children.
Suits for an absolute divorce on grounds of
unfaithfulness and for alimony were brought by
the wife in November, 1887, and testimony was
taken before Referee Vanamee of Middletown.
N. Y. The allegation was that the husband
had been intimate with Mrs. Katy Day, pretty
@oung woman whom he had installed as house
keeper in the Guymard House, at Guymard
Station, ON the Eric railroad.
Referee Vanamee reported in favor of grant,
ing the divorce. Justice Brown SO decreed,
authorizing the plaintiff to marry again, but
forbidding that privilege to the husband dur
ing the plaintiffs lifetime. Alimony was al
lowed the plaintiff, and her dover rights were
left unimpaired
In the suit for alleged ISLANDERS now begun
Mrs. Jordan charges that her late husband has
frequently, in the presence OF witnesses, ac-
cused her of immoral conduct, and asserted
that he had obtained divorce from her for
such cause, together with other false and de-
fsmatory statements
