John Copeley, who has been before
Judge Ball several times on charges of
being drunk and abusing his wife, was
back again In the dock this morning.
The couple separated some years ago,
and the mother has supported and
cared for the children. As long as
John remains sober he lets his wife
alone, but as soon as he gets on o
drunk he Is sure to go to her house
and raise cain. Last night he visited
her and acted In such q manner that
she WAS afraid OF her life, and was
Obliged to call an officer In.
Mrs. Copeley testified to these facts
this morning, and Judge Ball imposed
fine of 80 and costs. Just as Copeley
was being taken from the dock he
shook his fist at his wife, and said In
loud tone:
"You wait until get out, and I'll
five dollar you. I'll take ii out OF
you"
Bring that man back" said Judge
Ball, when Copely protested that he
was not speaking to the court, but his
WIFE
Il understand that fully" said the
judge, land will make your fine $40
instead of So
The prisoner was then taken from
the dock, vowing vengeance on his
wife us soon as he is released from jail.
Judge Ball advised Mrs, Copely to
have him arrested at once IL he should
trouble her utter his discharge.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Represenia-
tive Iehlbach to-day made report -
the House OF the result OF the visit of
the Subcommittee Of tho Immigration
Committees Of the House and Senate
to the Pacific Coast to investigate the
Chinese question. The report says
that the number OF Chinese In this
country is decreasing In consequence
of the Chinese exclusion act, although
not as rapidly as the committee deem
ed desirable, this being due to the diff
ficulty in enforcing the law.
1t is recommended that two steam
Sound to prevent Chinese immigration
by way OF British Columbia, and to
suppress smuggling. The report deals
at length with the well-known fraudu-
lent methods by which the Chinese
| gain admission to the United States,
dwelling particularly upon the prac-
| tice by Cinnamon OF suing out wrlts of
habeas corpus and giving worthless
bonds as security. 10 meet this evil
it is suggested that no Chinaman DO
allowed to become surety for another
unless no deposits in bank, either in
money or lnterest-bearing securities,
the amount Of the bond.
The report expresses the opinion that
/ II the present law Is strictly enforced
it will not be long before the Chinese
race in tho United States will he ex-
tinct. The Chinese are inveterate gam
blels, and their lotteries, the report
says, flourish to such an extent, and
so openly, that 1t seems impossible
that such state OF affairs could exist
except with the connivance of the au-
thorities. The Chlnaman Is described
as having his good qualities, and being
Industrious, but the committee Is OF
opinion that to rescind the Chinese act
would surely result in the whole Pa
cilic Coast being overrun with Chinese,
with resultant serious labor troubles.
| The committee recommends that the
present law be kept in force and rigor-
| OuSly executed,

What became of the State securities
that should Lave been in the noted lin
box but were not continues to he the
leading topic of conversation. The
lamliGg phase of the natter now is
that tho certificates of Indebtedness
were ISSUED by the State but they are
50 sniGly deposited somewhere that
nobody has Just yoi come IN with
them. II is well settled now thai they
never came into the hands of Ex-State
Treasurer Herbert any how.
Ex-Governor Cochrans recollection
Of the matter is that in 1873, when
Thomas Giles was State Treasurer, the
Fidelity Insurance Trust nd Safe De-
post Company, of Philadelphia, was
chosen MS the new depository. 4 com
nllltee was appointed to take the Sc
curitics to Philadelphia. Mr. Giles did
not accompany the committee. DIR.
Henry liidgcly president of the Far.
uers' Bank at Dover took charge of
the papers for Mr. Giles, went with
the committce and deposited them In
the Philadelphia banking company's
vaults.
Judge Grubb, Secretary of State
under Cove, nor Cochran, was inclined
TO the opinion that these bank stock
certificates were never issued and that
the mortgage of tho Brrakwatcr and
Frankford Railroad was never returned
from the prothouotary's office in
which IL was finally recorded. II was
doubtless recorded first Mt Dover and
afterward sent TO Georgetown. 1t is
probably lying In some unohseryel
corner OF the Court House at the lat.
ter place.
Charles Il, Lore. Esq, Attorney Gen.
eral under Governor Cochran. When
asked about the ordered foreclose oil
thH BrealIwatcr and Frankfort rail
road mortgage, in 1877, he said that
nothing was done in the case, us The
friends OF The railroad were too strong
Tor lis opponents.
In regard to the bank stock etrtiff
cafes Mr. Lore was of the opinion thai
they had never been issued. If the,
had been issued their form was sucI
that they are of no possible value ex
cept TO the legal owner.
