careful today they would defeat Mr.. Cleveland.
The Cleveland men throughout the country"

An Indictment Expected From the Grand
jury Tomorrow.

An Indictment Expected From the Grand
jury Tomorrow.
The grand jury will return a batch Of in
dictments to the Criminal Court tomorrow, and
among them it is expected will be one charging
Clayton Howard, colored, with the murder of
Edward c. Atwell, the railroad brakeman who
was killed at Trinidad last week. Eight
or ten witnesses we're examined by the grand
jury today, among them being the men and
women who have been under arrest on suspicion
of knowing something about the homicide.
The description given by the railroad men
agrees with that of Howard, the man charged
with the murder. Howard is a large
sized man, and being q horse trainer
he travels from place to place, stopping
about stables where race horses are kept
He Is well known in racing circles, and in Phila-
delphia where he has spent much Of his time,
he is regarded as a shrewd politician.
In that city he has many friends and some Of
them, it is thought, will assist him in keeping
away from the officers, although Capt. Linden,
chief Of police of that city, is aiding the
police Of this city in their efforts to effect the
mans arrest
The witnesses heard before the grand jury to-
day were chiefly colored people, some Of whom
were present when tine shooting was done.

pus, which writ was last Saturday certified by
Judge Montgomery to the Court in General
Term to be heard in the first instance, was
called up in the General Term this morn
ing by Mr.. c. Maurice Smith Of
counsel for Cross. The question at once
arose as to whether, under the rules of the
court, the writ Of habeas corpus could be so
certified; the peculiar question at issue being
as to whether or not petition for n writ Of
habeas corpus was motion in the meaning Of
the rule.
District Attorney Cole stated that counsel for
the government we're Of the opinion that the
action OF Judge Montgomery in certifying the
petition to the Court in General Term was a
proceeding authorized by law, and the govern
ment was prepared to at once discuss what
seemed to be the one material question.
whether or not the petitioner was entitled to an
issuance OF the writ.
Counsel for Cross objected to an immediate
hearing of the motion and asked for time to
prepare a brief in the matter The court, how
ever. after deciding that the petition was prop
erly before it, decided to hear the motion to-
morrow morning at 10 O'Clock.

Mai. snifFen's Claim Allowed.

The claim Of Maj Culver C. Snifen, Fay
master in the army, for indemnity for the loss
of government funds, stolen from him, was to-
day decided by the Court Of Claims in Maj

On Saturday night at IL o'clock a special
train will leave the Baltimore and Ohio depot
for Minneapolis. The cars composing this train
will be sacred to the followers Of W. Calvin
Chase. About $50 persons are expected to be
on board. Fifty Of these will be members Of
the Harrison and Morton League Of this city,
fifty more will belong to the Southern Republic
can Club Of Baltimore, twenty will wear the uni
form Of the Capital City Band and the remainder
will include Mr.. Chase and number of bis init
mate friends and associates. Mr.. Simon Wolf,
who is Mr.. Chase's colleague and fellow dele
gate, left for Minneapolis this morning. The
Alternates are H. W. Coffin and Arthur s. A.
Smith. These will 60 with the crowd.
MR.. cHAsE's CLAIM.
1--WE claim" said Mr.. Chase to a STAB re-
gates, and our claim is borne out by practice
and by the constitution Of the republican CEN
trail committee Of the District. We propose to
take our seats in the convention, and we will
stay in them. too, until we are put out or the
convention adjourns. All we ask is q fair
show.
coLoRED PEOPLE WILL SUPPORT HARRISON.
81 have no candidate" insisted Mr.. Chase
upon being pressed for an expression Of his
preferences. II have no entanglements. I will
soy, though, that Harrison has endeared him
self to the hearts Of the colored people Of this
country and will receive. their unanimous sup
port. He won us by his ringing advocacy Of
the federal elections bill and by his courageous
utterances whenever our right were being dis
cussed. Then he has given us more official
recognition than any other occupant
of the Executive Mansion; under his
administration the colorsd man has received a
fair share Of material interest in the machinery
of government At an times has he been con-
the people we are going to show our gratitude.
THE FEELING FOR SHERMAN.
"Of course understand that there may be a
movement in behalf of Sherman. II there is,
and it should seem TO be the spirit Of the con-
vention, the colored delegates will sympathize
with it. supported Sherman in 1888 and under
certain circumstances would do SO again. He
has repeatedly proved his devotion to our in
tercsts and we will undoubtedly reciprocate
whsn an opportunity presents itself.
"Mger is good man. We could support
him conscientiously. He has thsRonidence Of
the colored people and they woul6 readily vote
to US as Harrison has been.
WILL SPLIT ON BLAINE.
"Blaine? He cannot get one-half Of the col
ored vote. OF course you understand that am
for the nominee, whoever it may be, but don't
mind stating it to be my firm conviction that
the colored vote will split if Blaine is chosen.
He is held responsible for republican defeat in
the last congressional elections. He opposed
the Mckinley bill and Tom Reed, and
his comments we're used with telling effect by
the democratic orators We have not forgotten
that Blaine threw all his weight against what
was called the force bill in two memorable

THE CASE OF GLANCE.
The Coroner Decides to Hold an Inquest and
the Widow Summoned.

Inc coroner Dec1OeS to HOI0 an Inquest and
the Widow Summoned.
The body Of Ignatius Glance, who was re-
ported to have committed suicide Saturday
morning after having shot his wife, was in the
dead wagon this afternoon and the vehicle was
about to start for potter's field, when Coroner
Patterson stopped the vehicle and ordered the
driver to return the body to the morgue.
Since the death Of Glance it has been claimed
by his friends that he did not do the sh ooting,
and it was also stated that there was q wound
on the wrist Of the dead man, showing, as they
claimed, that he could not have injured himself
in that place.
The coroner decided to hold an inquest at
o'clock this afternoon and sent word for the
wife to be present at the hearing.
The hospital authorities, however, reported
that erysipelas had set in the wound and that
on account Of the change for the worse she
could not leave the hospital.

THE FIGHT GROWING WARMER.
Some Promise Now of q Stormy Time u
Minneapolis.

The anti-Harrison folks are getting m ore and
more bitter in their opposition to the Presi-
dents denomination and they are especially
caustic in their comment upon the course Of
cabinet officers and other members Of the ad-
ministration, who, in interviews, ques-
ton the honesty and sincerity Of men who
oppose Mr.. Harrisons candidacy. These ex-
changes of compliments between the Harrison
and anti-Harrison men are making
the conservatives more anxious and it
is beginning to look as if things
might be reversed and that instead Of Chicago
being the place Of the noisy and discordant
convention, it may be at Minneapolis where
the hottest contest will be held.
The Blaine people claim to have this much
assurance from Mr.. Blaine. that he will write no
more letters and that he will pay no attention
to what is said about his possible candidacy.
The Harrison folks are working in dead ear
nest They insist that they have nc doubt that
Mr., Harrison will be nominated by acclama-
ton.
