CITY AND DISTRICT.
BOGUS COMMISSION MERCHANTS.
Attorney Hazelton Frames . Law to Pre-
vent the Swindling Of Farmers

Complaints are still coming in to the police
from farmers all over the country concerning
bogus commission merchants in this city who
it is claimed, get large consignments Of goods
by sending out circulars Offering prices in ex-
cess Of market values. Detective Block, who
has investigated number of such complaints,
was unable to do anything for the relief of the
country people because there was no law here
under which the men sending the circulars
could be prosecuted. He found that law was
passed in Maryland two years ago covering
such transactions. copy of the enactment
was obtained and turned over to Attorney
Hazleton, who, with the consent of the Com
missioners, has framed an ordinance, which will
be presented to Congress for its approval. Fol-
lowing is
THE PROPOSED LAW:
THAT il any factor commission merchant
or consignee, or any person selling'goods on
commission, or the agent, clerk or servant OF
such person, who shall convert to
his own use any provisions, fruits.
flour, meat. butter, cheese or any
property or the proceeds Of the same shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. and upon
information and conviction in the Police Court
of the District of Columbia shall be fined not
more than 81 900 or be imprisoned not more
than six months, or both. in the discretion OF
the court, and the failure to pay over the
avails or proceeds received by any factor,
commission merchant, consignee or persons
selling goods or produce on commission, less
his proper charges. within five days after re-
celvlng the money or its equivalent from the
purchaser or purchasers of said goods or pro.
duce and demand made therefor by the person
entitled to receive the same. or his or her duly
authorized agent, shall be prima facie evidence
In any court of law in said District to establish
the conversion OF said goods and produce"

ELECTRIFIED STEAM.
Some Very Curious Experiments That
Indicate Important Results

From the Manufacturer.
At the last meeting of the physical society of
London the members were much Interested in
some very beautiful experiments Of Mr.. Shell
ford Bidwell FRS. In one OF these expert
ments powerful electric light cast shadow
OF a steam jet upon a screen, but the shadow
was barely visible, nor did the jet appear very
brilliant under the illumination.
A needle point was then held near the jet
and electrified by being connected with a
Wimshurst machine. Instantly the shadow
became conspicuous and of dark brown
color, while the jet itself became far more
luminous and occasionally colored. The effect
OF the electrifcation is apparently instanta-
neOus. 1t is probable that the explanation may
be closely connected with Lord Raleighs we'll
known experiment Of electrifying jet Of water,
which then ceases to scatter and fall in small
drops, but instead draws itself together and
falls in large faltering drops. As Lord Raleigh's
experiments explain the large drops associated
with a thunder storm, 30 MIR. Bidwelis seem
to throw some light upon the cause of the
extraordinary blackness of tho thunder clouds
and of the lurid light so often seen II the sky
before q storm

-FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND.
That Many Veterans Said to Ask the
Passage Of the Service Pension Bill.

Gov. Hovey of Indiana was on the floor Of
the House yesterday talking with the republi-
can members about the proposed service PEN
sion bill.
Speaking with a STAR reporter he said that
he had not yet fully sounded the sentiment Of
the majority of the House-that was what he
was then engaged in-but he was certain Of
one thing, that if they did not pass the bill
they could hope for no political success in the
future. THE party" he said, lis fully pledged
to the measure and they cannot afford to 20
back on their word. / have petitions signed
by nearly 100000 veterans asking for its pas
sage. If the bill is not passed 1 do not think il
will be possible for us to win the next election.
If passed it will cost the government no more
than one hundred and ten or one hundred and
twenty million dollars per year"
Speaking of the administration he said that
the distribution of patronage was a source OF
weakness, arousing discomfort, and that Just
now the President was suffering from this in
Indiana.

law, VIM Bayliss across the hand and arm, as
published in The STAR at the time, was tried
In the Police Court yesterday afternoon. The

claimed was made by Bayliss before he (Quig-
ley) used the knife. The wound on Quigley's
head was made with kettle. Bayliss' wife
claimed that during the fight her husband
stabbed her. ''That is the facts of the case, SO
help me God" said the young woman. II
love my husband and love my father, but
them is the facts in the case" Quigley, who
has been employed as assistant rigger at the
Capitol for fifteen years, was fined $40 or 20
days. Judge Miller said that Quigley was

MAGINNIs Is NOW McGINTY.
Changes That Have Taken Place Since
Montana Became a state.

The two democratic candidates for Montana
senatorial honors are in the city-Messrs Clark
and Maginnis. The former is not extensively
acquainted here, but nearly every pollution and
newspaper man knows Martin Maginnis He
represented the territory a delegate in
Congress and has always been prominent
as democratic partisan Just now he 10
suffering considerably from the inconsiderate
conduct of a large number OF acquaintance
who persist in calling him McGInty. He has
protested loudly and at considerable length
against this perversion of his family cog
nomen, but in vain, and the jocular
noyance continues, increases and multi
plies. Mr.. Maginnis has suffered SIM
liar torment in times past. Everybody
who was at the St. Louis convention which gave
Ny. Cleveland his denomination can recall the
occasion when the intermountain orator
climbed on a chair and yelled MIR. Chirman"
until White of California, the temporary chair
man, was compelled to recognize him, and
everybody will remember the roar of Laughter
which went up when White yelled out
Who are you? State your name and name
your state"
The response, "Maginns of Montana" with
the accent on the ''tana," touched the funny
bone of the convention and they repeated it in
chorus again and again. When the nomina-
ton had been made and there was demand for
eulogies upon the candidate the convention re-
membered the fun of the previous day and it
shouted vociferously for "Maglnnis of Mon
tana." And now il Is McGinty.

republican association. Senator Sherman was
down on the program for a speech of welcome,
but he was detained at home by illness and
was not able to preside. When Mr.. J. NJ. Nc
Grew, president of the association called the
meeting to order he requested Sixth Auditor
Coulter to preside. In accepting the invita-
ton MIR. Coulter said it was an honor and a
pleasure at any time to meet with Ohio people.
Although they were all republicans they had
not come to talk politics, he said. As a repub-
lican state Ohio is Just little the worse for
wear, but Mr. Coulter advised them all to keep
their eyes on '92, for then he knew they would
be on top once more.
The next speaker was Judge Carter, and he
spoke also of the greatness Of Ohio and showed
how desirable it was that all the people from
that state who live in this city should come to-
gether often and know each other better.
Other speeches were made by Col Brigham,
Judge Barton, Hon. ]. B. Taylor and Hon. J.
Hale Sypher.

THE EXPOSITION BILL.
Provisions OF the Measure as Completed
by the House Subcommittee.

The worlds fair subcommittee completed
their general bill late yesterday afternoon.
The bill is such as to crowd Washington out, ~
il is evident that any bill which would apply to
the other cities wouldn't ct the conditions at
the national capital To cure this il is pro-
posed to offer in the House a substitute for the
financial clause TO make IL fit the conditions
here. This. however. appears to place the
capital city at a great disadvantage on
account of the parliamentary situation. To SUBJ
stitute the Washington financial clause for the
one in the BILL before the site question is SET
tied. Washington will have TO posses more
strength than all the other cities put together
for as the clause stands il applies 20 all the
others, and TO strike Il out would be TO defeat
all OF them at one stroke. As long as the ques-
ton OF site Is unsettled New York, 81 Louis
