The misic lovers of Washington are to enjoy
once moro the exquisite measures of Strauss
waltzes played by the Imperial Viennese Orches-
ira under Herr Eduard Strauss direction. The
former concerts of this famous organization
left deep, lasting and, altogether delightful
impression. The only regret that can attend
them Is that this will be the only time Herr
Strauss and his orchestra will be heard in this
city prior to their departure for Vienna. The
programs announced for this second series of
concerts are the same in general character as
those which captured the audiences before-full
of brilliant exhilarating Strauss compositions,
Interspersed with contrasting selections from
Wagner. Gounod, MeDdelssohn. Beethoven and
others with not dull number among them.
The Sunday-night concert will be given at
Albaugh's and that Of Monday at Lincoln Music
Hall. The tickets are at Metzerotts, lilo T

A FAMILY FEUD.
1t Leads to an Assault and q Trial in
the Police Court.

1t Leads to an Assault and q Trial in
the Police Court.
There was an exciting trial in the Police
Court this afternoon in consequence of a feud
between Nathan W. Fitzgerald and
Jesse W. Fienner. Mr.. Campbell Car
rington appeared for Flenner and
had to quiet him several times. Fitzgerald and
Flenner are cousins and were once in the PEN
sion business together. They dissolved part
nershlp and that, in connection with family af-
fairs, has made trouble between Thorn.
THE TESTIMONY.
1t was testified in the Police Court today that
yesterday afternoon they met near 7th and D
streets, and that in addition to threatening to
kill Fitzgerald, Flenner pounded him over the
head with cane, making several cuts. The
wounds were OF such a character that they
necessitated the services of a physician.
1t leaked out in court that FleLner accused
Fitzgerald of having said something rejecting
ON his (Flenners) mother. and thatIt appeared
was the cause of the trouble. The charges
against Flenner were assault and threats.
He was still nervous and excited when he
started to tell his side Of the case, in which he
ADMITTED HIS GUILT.
Not only did he say that he was guilty Of tho
assault. but he said he had made
the threats to kill Fitzgerald and
he intended to do it. Judge Miller
spoke in manner calculated to end the
trouble, but MIR. Flenner was apparently not
moved by his remarks. After imposing a fine
of go, Judge Miller said he would require Mr..
Flenner to give $500 real estate security to
keep the peace or be committed for six months.

Sheriff and Prisoner Drnnlr.

Passengers who came to the city over the
Short Line the other day we're witnesses to .
rather unusual proceeding. says the Louisville
Courier Joarnal The sheriff OF Magofin
county had in his charge prisoner sentenced
to ten years in the penitentiary for murder.
The prisoner was . youthful looking noun
taineer and was securely handcuffed. The
sheriff, big, Swapping, rough man, carried u
Winchester, big revolver and jug Of whisky
Ohicer and prisoner drank OF it deeply aud
before the train reached Lexington the guard
and his prisoner were helplessly drunk, and il
he had been sober enough the convict could
have easily escaped. The sheriff was brandish-
ing his frearm srather promiscuously, when one
of the passengers disarmed him and lot him
sleep with his handcuffed prisoner ON the floor
Of the coach. At Frankfort the passengers
turned the two men over to the Frankfort
police, who took the convict to the peniten-
tiary.

A GLORIOUS VICTORY.
What Civil Service Commissioner
Thompson Says.

STAR reporter this morning called in to see
Gov. Thompson, the democratic member OF the
civil service commission, to see if he know any
thing about the election. The governor looked
up IN dazed sort Of . way, and remarked that
he was doing his best to recover from it, why
don't let the other side do tho recovering2''
said he. well, il you must know, it is because
i was "a much overpowered as any
republican could possibly have been. I
thought all along that there would be a demo-
cratic majority in the next House of dozen
or so. but here see by the New York papers
that they claim $50. dozen would have suite
me. but more than a hundred. What did it?
Why, what could have caused such a revolu-
ton but the tariff issue. Yes, sir; In my
opinion the Mckinley bill was what
gave us the glorious victory. or course,
there may have been local causes at work in
a few places, but they were AZ nothing COM
pared to the tariff. One man in Washington is
quoted as saying yesterday that the civil service
was potent factor in the election. That's
nonsense. Civil service was no more OF an
element in tie campaign than you were. I
have just sent letter to Mr.. Cleveland con-
graduating him on the result of the election
and telling him that in my opinion the tariff
was what did the work"

Sunday Beer.

James Gallagher keeps cigar store corner
of Whitney avenue and 7th street. He used
to keep a licensed saloon, but now he has no
license to sell liquo-. A week ago last Sunday
a soldier named Thomas Gibson came out of
the side door with a bucket Of beer. Sergt
Slattery saw him and procured warrant
charging Gallagher with violating an ordi-
nance OF the Levy Court which
prohibits the selling Of merchandise
on Sunday. The case was called
in the Police Court today and Gibson testified
that he paid Mrs. Gallagher cents for the
beer. Two witnesses were called who swore
that they were in Mrs. Gailagher's place and
were about to eat dinner with her when Glib
son came in. Sergt. Slattery testified that it
was lilo o'clock when he saw
Gibson come out Mr.. Gallagher,
who was not home at the time
said he had the keys in his pocket and that
Mrs. Gallagher could not get into where the
beer was kept. He said there might have been
bottle of beer in the house that was left over
Saturday night Gibson was recalled and said
that later ip the day he was given a bucket of
beer. After tho case had been discussed by
Mr.. C. Maurice Smith for the defendant and
Mr.. Dumont for the District it was continued
until tomorrow and a summons was sent out
for another witness.

1T WAS THE TARIFF:
That Is the Opinion OF Hon. George B.
LOring.


DR.. George B. Loring Of Massachusetts,, ex-
commissioner of agriculture, was in the city to-
day. He was asked by STAR reporter what he
thought of the result OF the election in Massa-
chusetts.
Astounding! Astounding!" he replied. 81
see by looking over the returns that many of
the people in the small places did not vote at
all aud others seemed to take notion that
they had been on our side long enough and
simply rolled over. 1t is astounding
DO you attribute it to the tariff p was
asked
Yes, the tariff had much to do with it. With
out considering it or giving it test they be-
lIeved what Was said about the bill by the
democrats and voted accordingly. For myself
think that bill will not increase prices It
will eventually reduce prices, and, as l hon
estly believe, will extend and broaden our
market"
Did the election bill have anything to do
with the result in Massachusetts," The STAR
reporter asked.
No. l think not. l think it was the tariff
only" he replied.

AN IMPORTANT SUIT,

Mrs. Jane C. Hitz Claims the Owner

Jane c. Hitz, by Col. Enoch Totten, today
filed bill in equity against John Story jerks
ct al asking decree declaring her to be the
owner Of lot s, square 4O5, 9th and G streets

others in January, 1872, organized
the German American Bank, which
became the German American National Bakk
which became insolvent October 80, 1873, and
afterward learned that q deed had been re.
corded conveying the property in 1877 to Sarah
L. Crane for $4,000, purporting to be signed
by her and her husband. She AYERS that this
deed was fraudulent and without consideration
and If she did sign it it was by means
of fraudulent concealment and imposition
of her husband and other officers of the band
to relieve it OF the burden of certain fraudu.
lent notes; that Sarah l.. Crane was the gister-
in-law OF c. Z. Prentss, the cashier, and was
in no wise interested in the property and her
name was used merely to render the fraud more
easy and convenient
AS A FURTHER STEP TO THE SCHEME,
she says, that the said Crane undertook at the
same time to convey the property to r. W.
Tyler in trust to secure the payment of note
for $4,000, payable to the order of John Hitz
three years after date, and Endorsed to
W. P. jerks. She states that Sarah
L. Crane received no part OF the
money but it was paid to Prentiss, who applied
it to the payment of two notes, one of w. r.
Chipley and one Of Z. z. Halstead, which notes.
she AYERS, were fraudulent, and were procured
by Hitz and Prentiss to cover up and conceal
THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE BANK.
She states that she had no suspicion of the
deed to Crane until the affairs Of the bank went
into the hands Of B. U. Keyser, the receiver
who soon after sought to restrain jerks and
property. She then refers to the various suits
and the appeal to the Supreme Court Of the
United States and states that not
withstanding she filed supercedeas bono
Kcyser delivered the property to Tyler ant
subsequently sold it to Seth Caldwell, ir., Of
Philadelphia, who she charges is tho agent o.
jerks for $4,000,
WHICH SHE SAYS WAS GROSSLY INADEQUATE,
and she submits that the sale was void and
made in the face of an appeal and should be
set aside. She asks tina. she be decreet
to be the owner. that the deed O.
Tyler and Caldwell be Cancelled and
she be allowed to redeem the property
that Tyler be held to be chargeabie as receiver
and compelled to account, aud that a restrain

THE RAPID GROWTH of the business interests
of the city finds good illustration in the print
ing establishment conducted by Byron =.
Adams. He has recently purchased the prop
erty 5l2 18th street. three doors south Of the
establishment of w. b. Moses 4 Sons and has
reconstructed the building and transformed it
into model printing Office. Ten years ago
MIR. Adams began business in q single room in
the lie Droit building. The room not a
large one, but there was ample space for the
material which Mr.. Adams limited capital en-
abled him to purchase. He was, however. in
dustrious and energetic, and he had the print
er's sense, which in other pursuits is called
good taste. These qualities brought to him
success. lie soon found it necessary to take
another room, and then finally he leased
the entire building No. GA 9Th
street. which he occupied until a
few weeks ago. OF late years Mr.. Adams has
had to contend with the difficulty Of carrying
| on his business in quarters which were made
quate and this difficulty he found was not
| remedisd by enlarging the building. although
| it was done several times. Finally, he solved
| the problem by purchasing the property on
| nth street. In making the changes in the new
building required by the needs Of his business
Mr.. Adams left the side walls so that they could
| bear the weight. Of third story when adGi-
tional room might be needed. He is now at
| home permanently and his investment of over
S25,OOO in place to carry on his business he
| believes will be justified by the increased
patronage which central locality and improved
facilities will bring to him. For the present
the two stories with their ample width and depth
| afford splendid quarters for the business. The
/ four Hoe cycliner presses and the Job presses
are on the first floor, while on the second door
| is the composing room with its ceiling thirteen
/ feet high. Broad windows In the front and
rear and skylights in the roof furnish abund-
ance Of light, which printers appreciate when
at work On each side OF the main entrance,
which is in the center of the 'front.' are spacious
| show windows. where specimens of the print
ers' art can DO displayed. There 10 . coy
office, which is petitioned of from the press
| room, where customers can confer with Mr.
Adams in regard to their work. The entire
| building is heated by steam and the motive
power for the presses is furnished by electric
lily. In addition to the usual Job work. Mr..
Adams has provided facilities SO that he can
make the book department. more OF a specially
than 1t has been in the past. In fitting up this
printing Office Mr. Adams has awaited himself
OF the modern improvements which have been
| found useful IN the business, and he can there
fore. have the satisfaction Of knowing that his
Office is in the full sense Of the word model
office.
