THE HOUSE RESTAURANT ROW.
Ono Phase of It Settled in the Police
Court Today.

The fight in the Capitol on Monday after
noon during the centennial celebration was
discussed in the Police Court today. Only
what took place in and near the House
restaurant was told In the case today.
William and Martin Flannery. who were
arrested at the time. will have Jury trial
next week, when the whole affair will be
discussed The case today involved two
charges Of assault against Mr.. Thomas
Murray. proprietor of the House restau-
rant.
The hearing today lasted but a short
while, for Judge Miller was satisfied that
Mr.. Murray only did what any other per-
son would have done under the circum-
stances. The young men said they had
taken two or three drinks. and they were
In the ladies' dining room when Mr.. Muir
them. had cigar In his hand, but they
said they were not smoking. Mr.. Murray
told them that smoking in the room was
not allowed. He invited them to take a
drink, and they went to the bar and had IT..
They wanted to reciprocate but he would
not drink with them and left. Then they
were refused drinks and In order to find
Mr.. Murray they picked up articles Of glass
ware and started out. This had the desired
effect, but when Mr.. Murray came and saw
what they were doing he failed to enjoy
the joke and struck them. One Of the
young men attempted to use a vinegar
cruet on him and he ran; There were
words about the arrest, but there was no
evidence that anything improper was said.
Mr.. Murray. the court thought, was pro-
tecting his property and as he used no un-
necessary violence the charges against Eim
were dismissed.

BRECKIN RIDGE-POLLARD
The Congressman Must File His Plea by
Monday.
What Sort OF n Plea He VIII Proba hi,
Make-If the Case is Tried His
Probable Course.

Those who are expecting that the plea of
Congressman VIM. c. P. Breckinridge, in
answer to the allegations of Miss Madeline
V. Pollard In her suit against him for
breach OF promise win divulge the grounds
OF his defense or add In any degree to the
particulars Of the alleged Illicit relations of
the young woman and the eloquent Con-
gresham, will be doomed to disappoint-
msnt, for 1t was stated to a Star reporter
upon unQuestionable authority that the
plea will be Of an exceedingly brief and
formal character. The plea will be, 1t was
stated. that which is known to the legal
profession as the plea Of general issue. In
other words the plea will merely deny that
the alleged promise or promises Of marriage
were ever made by Representative Breck-
inridge. That is. he will simply deny that
any contract to marry the plaintiff was
ever made or agreed to by him.
Must File His Plea by Monday.
As explained in yesterdays Star, Mr.
Breckinridge must file his plea not later
than Monday next. the 18th instant. When
that Is done, counsel for Miss Pollard will
serve notice Of joinder of issue upon the
defendants counsel, and then the case
the District Supreme Court on what II
known as the law side Of the court There
the case will sleep with hundreds Of others
for probably two years at least before II
is reached in the distribution Of cases on
the calendar between the two circuit
branches Of the court.
The trial will. of course, be before a Jury
unless both SIDES should agree to submit
the case to q hearing by the presiding judge
alone. a course most unlikely to be pur-
sued. Although $4,000 Is the amount claim
ed by Miss Pol krd in compensation for the
injuries alleged, to have been received by
her through tHe asserted wrongful acts
and omissions II the Kentucky Congress
man, 1t would ee within the special prov.
ince of the jury to award that sum- or any
smaller one doTyn to 1 cent, provided OF
course, the jury should find her to be en-
titled to q verdict In her favor. Damages
to the amount IF even 1 cent would. per-
haps, not only BE- taken as a vindication OF
the plaintiff, bus such a verdict would also
place the costs iof the suit, both sides in.
cluded. upon the defendant Congressman.
Judging from the intimation Of Mr.
Breckinridge's counsel made at the hearing
of arguments on the defendants demurrer
yesterday before Judge Cox. the defense al
the trial Of the case will undoubtedly use
every endeavor TO cut out OF the trial any
and all matters alleged to have occurred
during the period previous to Mr.. Breckin-
ridge becoming widower. OF course, the
case could be settled out Of court previous
to or subsequent to a trial. but 1t is hardly
probable that either side will 80 agree. and
in due time q battle royal may reasonably
be expected.

THE VALKYRIE HERE.
Lord Dunraven's Yacht Arrives at
New York.
TWENTY.NINE DAYS FOR THE TRIP
Sighted From Sandy Hook Earl,
This Morning.
n o MISHAP HAS OCCURRED

SANDY HOOK, N. J., Sept. 22.-At early
dawn this morning the lookout at Sandy
Hook marine observatory saw way down to
the southeast a sloop In tow. Watching for
her to come nearer he made her out to be a
yacht Expecting the Valkyrie, he made up
his miLd 1t must be her. but wanted to be
sure and waited till she was near the Scot
Land hghtship, when she set her ensign TO
the peak. At her masthead she carried the
| signal Of the Royal British Yacht Club.
She had mainsail. forestaysail, jib and gan
topsails set. The tug Charm. q well-known
boat around the harbor. had her in tow and
seemed to glide along with her as IL nothing
was dragging astern.
The American ensign was run up on the
large fagmast at the observatory and when
| she passed the point at 607 a m. salutes
were exchanged. Operator Thomas Robinson
manning the halyards at the observatory.
The crew aboard the valkyrie were engaged
in washing deck and a general cleaning Up.
and IT appeared from a distance as IL they
looked worn out and were glad to be in
harbor.
Anchor Dropped.
NEW YORK Sept 22-Lord Dunraven's
English cutter. valkyrie. that is to eontes,
with the vigiiant for the possession Of the
Americas cup. is in this port. Long and
anxiously awaited. and fearful that some
mishap had befallen her, the valkyrie's safe
arrival has brought joy to the hearts OF
yachtsmen.
She was sighted on Sandy Hook lightship
this morning at $40 O'Clock. Two hours and
fifteen minutes later she passed Quarantine
and headed for Bay Ridge. where she
dropped anchor. When the Valkyrie was
passing Sandy Hook she signaled that all
was well and that nothing serious had &C.
CURED on board during her voyage.
1t took the Valkyrie a month, all but one
day. to cross the Atlantic. She cleared
Southampton at half past five o'clock on
August q. At the same hour on September
q she was seen from the nghtship.
Now that she has arrived safe and sound
and that everybody is easy at mind, the
details Of the race can be arranged Lord
Dunraven will probably arrive here on the
Campsnia tomorrow. He will be a little
over one day behind his yacht.
When he arrives the cup committee will
notify Capt. Cranfield OF the date OF the
races. October 9Th will probably be finally
agreed upon as the date Of the first race.
Preparations will begin tomorrow on the
Valkyrie. Her spars and racing canvas
which were brought here by the steamer
bSflui dilN arc uOW al lne w nlle cthf
line pier. win be taken over to Bay Ridge
where q sail loft has been secured near the
shore. Then the dressing OF the cutter FOR
the race will be commenced.
Twenty-four good sailor men brought the
English yacht into port What they did no,
know about her before they left the other
side they certainly learned while crossing
the Atlantic. There are no green hands
among them now, and II any crew can be
got to handle a boat in frst-class style, the
Valkyrie has that crew.

First among them is Capt Willie" Gran
field. who distinguished himself as a skipper
on the old valkyrie and EEsperance Next
to him is William Harvey, the navigator
who brought the yacht Jessica to America
in 1891. The other members Of the crew
are all Englishmen from the east coast and
know nearly everything that is worth know
ing about the sea- OF course. it will take
more than twenty-four men to sail the
yacht in the cup contests.
Ten more sailors win arrive with Lord
Dunraven tomorrow. The reason that they
did not cross on the yacht was because she
would be too crowded for such q long jour
ney.
Capt Cranfeld reports that light winds
prevailed the first eight days OF the voyage.
but afterwapd there was a continuation of
gales, with very heavy head seas. The storm
blew away the yachts storm jib and burst
the trysail. but otherwise there was no
damage.
Capt. Cranfeld confirms Capt. Grinith's

The English Cutter.
The valkyrie. like the vig1lant. is more of
a racer than a pleasure boat She il built
essentially for speed. Her quarters are
cTemped, and the crew haven't surplus OF
room. But in no other manner are the two
boats alike. The Valkyrie Is English from
England. while the Figilant is a genuine

AINswORTH TO PLEAD.
1t II Expected That Some Action
the Case VIII he Taken Today.

AhC SWSc W III DC AOuAys
Today the time expires in which Messrs.
Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and Sasse, twice
indicted for manslaughter in connection
Nrith the Ford's Theater disaster of the
9Th Of last June were given the privilege
Of Withdrawing their formal plea of not
guilty and filing any other plea or motion
they might deem proper. This privilege
was given in connection with their first IN
dictment.
Since then a second Indictment was found
necessary by the district attorney, because
of failure to properly designate Col. Aims
worth by his true name in the first one, and
late this afternoon, should Judge McComas
reach the city in time. the four accused per-
sons will be called upon to plead to the sec
ond Indictment, returned against them on
Tuesday last; which Indictment, with the
single exception in reference to Col. Aims
worth's name, Is Identical with the first
one
Up to 8 o'clock this afternoon no motion
or other plea had been filed In answer to
the first Indictment. although 1t Is not i'm
probable that the expected plea or motion
may be fled at the second arraignment of
the accused later this afternoon. Mr.. r.
Ross Perry, counsel for Ainswo-th, stated
to Star reporter this afternoon that he
and Mr.. H F.. Davis, counsel for the four
indicted persons, had not then fully decid-
ed just what course would be taken by
them in the matter.
