Agent Keys Complaint.

Agent Key of the Human society complains
that the society is not getting all the fines i'm
posed in cases of cruelty to animals, which he
claims it is entitled to. 1t appears that man
was arrested on charge of reckless driv-
ing. The shaft of the vehicle he was driving
penetrated the borse's body. causing its DEATH
Two fines of $50 were imposed in the Police
Court-one for cruelty to animals and
the other for fast driving. The cruelty
to animals case was first docketed, so that
when the prisoner had served nearly sixty
days, almost the entire time provided as
the alternative in that case, the second fine
to the first case on the docket and the $40 fine
paid was credited to the charge of reckless
driving and paid into the District treasury.
Thus the complaint of Agent Key rests on the
docketing of the case, which the court alone
can control

services could be dispensed with. Mr.. Silber-
man went at once to the school that Miss Her.

SENATOR GORMAN DID IT.
He Smashed the jackson Slate and Cast
the Die for Wilson.

Especial dispatch to the Philadelphia Times
says that Senator German brought about the
denomination of Senator Wilson Fearful Of
his own future German reluctantly broke the
Jackson combine and extended his influence
for the reelection of his old colleague. Gov.
Jackson was still hopeful but was summoned
to Baltimore in the afternoon to confer with
representatives Of German. The governor, il
is said. did not want to withdraw and it re-
CURED considerable argument to induce him
to make the sacrifice. He was told, however,
that German was determined that the deal
must be declared off and all must fall into line
for Wilson and crafty the popular demand for
his reelection. The same blow that blasted
the governors senatorial hopes crushed the
gubernatorial aspirations of Col Victor L.
Baughman. The governor returned to An
napolis about midnight and informed Gen.
Joe Seth and the others. vino had been con-
Quoting his canvass, that he had decided to
withdraw for the good of the party. The
politicians. who had been hoping to reap~Some
benefit from the deal, were at first inclined to
rebel. but in the morning all were ready to
obey the latest order from German.
The caucus was called for an early hour yes
terday morning and many of the members who
were late in rising hurried to the hall, expect
ing lively contest. They we're surprised to
learn of the governors withdrawal. State
Senator John Walter Smith of Worcester
county nominated Judge Wilson, stating that
he was the choice of the whole democracy of
the state. Delegate p. d. Laird of Montgomery,
Senator Jno. s. Writ of Cecil and Delegate Car
ter of Baltimore city made speeches seconding
the nomination. AS there were no other candi-
dates Senator Smith was authorized 10 cast the
vote of the caucus for Wilson. The legislature
in joint convention next Tuesday will re-elect
him Senator.
After the caucus one of Senator Wilson's
friends said that tremendous pressure had
been brought to bear upon German when it
was learned that he favored the Jackson and
Baughman combine. Senator Germans strong
est friends informed him that if he expected
reelection two years hence he must help Will
son now or cause break in the party, as they
were determined that he should not be thrown
overheard.

China's Theater Horror.

The following particulars of the theater
collapse in Hauling, China, reported by tele-
graph from Shanghai, December g. were re-
ceiyed by the steamer which arrived il San
Francisco yesterday. The accident occurred
on October Is. The temple where the per-
Torrance was being held stands on high ter
race in the middle of the town. A hill was
once there, but it had all been cut away except
portion on which the temple stands During
the performance the entire wall gave way
either from being defective or from the great
pressure above, and the whole gathering Of
men, women and children WAS hurled to the
street below. Groans and shrieks rent the air.
The people who had first fallen, some OF whom
had escaped with only bruises, were killed out
right a moment later by their comrades falling
upon them. Many died of suffocation. At the
time the immense blocks of stone and concrete
from the broken wall fell with deadly force
heads were burst open, bodies crushed, arms
and legs broken and in a number of cases al
most severed from the body. A total Of 200
dead bodies had been taken from the ruins and
it is thought that the list of dead might number
$50.

but it was said that ex-Mayor Hewitt declared
that either he or Mr.. Stokes must resign from
the committee.
Mr.. Stokes accordingly rendered his resigna-
ton, to take effect when the committee had re-
turned from Washington. This week Mr.
Stokes had circulated type-written letters in
which he stated that on Saturday in Washing
ton memorial drafted by ex- May or Hewitt. and
one by himself would be presented to the
