A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Louis Barlow Crushed Beneath ar
Elevator

Elevator.
Louis Barlow, an engineer In the en-
ploy of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, was crushed beneath one Of the ele-
vatOrs in the new building on the south
east corner of Sansome and California
streets, yesterday morning. When extri-
Gated from his precarious position he was
found to be In an conscious condition,
while blood was flowing in great pro-
fusion from a number of wounds about
the body and head.
When removed to the Receiving Hos
pital Dr.. Somers, who attended the un-
fortunate man, found that the base of the
skull had been fractured and that the flesh
on the right arm had been crushed to the
homo from the shoulder to the elbow, max
ing frightful wound.
The unfortunate man had also received
several cOntusiOns about the back, and
although no broken bones were discovered
it was feared that internal injuries would
add TO his suffering. The deep scalp
brain. was likely TO prove fatal, although
there was con Dsidered to be some slight
hope of his recovery.
Shortly after the elevators commenced
running yesterday morning Barlow dis
covered that the piston valve in one Of
vuCtu WOthCu pOUfiys 10 Cdm0 up Uc-
meath the cage, which rested at the first
story and began operating on the machin-
cry below the floor, when suddenly the
ton and. half Of iron gave way and fell a
distance of about eight feet, imprisoning
him beneath it.
1t was found impossible to move the lift,
and Engineer Cope of the Daniel Meyer
bui lding was sent for and managed. after
tedious job. to pry it up sufficiently TO
remove the victims prostrate form.
No cause can be given for the accident
except that Barlow neglected to shut off
t he water motor before taking out the con-
trolling valve which allowed the force to
escape, and consequently caused its re-
lease.
Barlow. man % years Of age, resided
with his wife al 231 Shotwell street.
AT late hour last night Barlow was
resung easily az the Receiving Hospital
and there was said to be chance of his re-
cOVery.

opened proceedings by plotting to victory
a strong second fav0rite for the first race
In Middleton. who was very heavily backed
at 10 1 and 10 g. He then landed a
winner in Cocheco at the nice comfortable
odds Of somewhere about skies and eights.

under the wire first by three lengths in
the third race. beating the redoubtable
Nomad and Gascon with the greatest ease,
was another second choice at the by no
means short price of 10 and IL to s.

The victory of Don Fulano over so good

JUDGE AND COUNSEL BECKER.
Justice Voorhis Charged with Not
Knowing His Business
A Lively Controversy Arises from
an Assault Case.

Justice Voorhis, sitting in Essex Mar
ket Court, and Lawyer John Fennel, of
the Stewart Building, had a lively con-
troversy in court to-day over the con-
duct of the case Of Kertscher vs. Smith,
which grew out of an assault said to
have been committed with a club on
Election night.
Complainant Kertscher failed to iden-
tify Smith as his assallant this morning,
and Justive Voorhis declared the matter
had been squared outside the court.
Policeman Donnelly, of the Union Mar
him that he committed the assault, and
when Justive Voorhis asked the de-
PENDANT II that was true Lawyer Fennel
instructed Smith not to answer.
Judge Voorhis then charged he law
yer with attempting to screen the de-
PENDANT, and added that he could Under
stand how and why 1t was done.
The lawyer retorted that Judge Voor-
his did not know his business, as no
self. Judge Voorhis replied, accusing
Lawyer Fennell of attempting to evade
the law, and the counsellor answered
that he woul allow nc a Judge OF
otherwise, to insult him
He reiterated that Judge Voorhis did
not know his business. and that he
(FennelD had lost all respect for him,
wrong, the Court did not commit him for
contempt, and Judge Noorhis said 1t was
because he respected Fennel too much.
There was another interchange of
personalities. and Judge Voorhis eYentu
ally dismissed the case.

Contractors on Justice Haggerty',
Court Heard From.
Cholera Mixture In the Bill for
Stationery.

The Commission appointed by the Legis-
lature to audit and legalize the bills for
repairs on Justice Haggerty's court re-
convened this morning to continue the
work begun yesterday.
The Commission approved the report Of
the experts, reducing the cost Of the work
from $27 900 to $4,000, as told In yester-
days Evening World"
Contractor Muller, who furnished the
furniture In the court, appeared before
the Commission. and eXcitedly protested
against the report of the experts, educ
ing his bill of $S.097.9l to $9l7. %. He
claimed that he was not allowed a profit.
He had his books to show that In
some cases the experts had only allowed
him the amount he had paid for the
goods furnished, and John T. Moran,
whose bill was reduced $685. wanted his
money with interest for a year
One interesting feature OF the meet
Ing of the Commission was the dis
covery that some of the items charged
In bills for stationery were bottles OF
cholera mixture. camphor balls, quinine
and other medicines, which the experts
believed should have been furnished by
a druggist.
The Commission also discovered that
the city had been charged S647 for fur
niture In Justice Watson's court when a
fair price, according to the report of the
experts. would have been 1888.

DEMUR TO THE INDICTMENTS.
Three Alleged Election Law Vio-
lators Plead Legal Errors.
Another Big Batch Arraigned-
Lally's Bail Reduced.

There vas a large crowd in the Cour
Of Oyer and Terminer to-day when the
balance of the men indicted for alleged
election frauds were a%rraigned before
Justice Barrett for pleading.
Up to the present time eight Of the
men have been unable to secure
bondsmen. Among them is ex-Bridge
Policeman Michael Lally.
The defendants in court to-day were
Fargal j. Gallagher. two indictments;
Dennis j. Buckley, six indictments; Jo-
seph T. Anderson, two indictments:

his bail from $500 to $1,000. Assistant
District-Attorney Mcintyre opposed the

81, 900 would be a low amount. After de-
liberating for a few moments Justice
Barrett granted the application of
Lally''s counsel. He will probably Sc
cure bail to-day.
Gallagher, Buckley and Anderson en-
tered a MUIR to the indictments on
the ground that there was more than
one crime charged against them and that
there are two separate offenses alleged
in the indictments.
Patrick Callahan, a keeper in the
Tombs, and who registered from there,
pleaded not guilty. All the other de,
PENDANTS entered a similar plea.
Justice Barrett went over the demur-
rers filed by Gallagher, Buckley and An
derson. He then said that 1t was true
that there was more than one offense
charged in the indictments, and would
hear argument on wednesday morning
next. He seemed inclined to dismiss the
indictments.
District-Attorney Nicoll said it was pos
sible that Mr.. Lindsay had made a mis-
take, but he was WORKOUT with the duties
recently imposed upon him. Mr.. Lindsay
Ia now taking a short vacation, and will
return next Wednesday to argue against
the sustaining Of the demurrers.
The men who were unable to furnish
bail were taken back to the Tombs. They
were handcuffed In pairs. Lally, how
ever, was not shackled, and walked be-
side the Deputy-Sherif.

SENATE HAWAIIAN INQUIRY.
Is 1t to Bear on the Desirability of
Annexation?
Dy Associated Press.)

~ iNh''l
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The air Of
mystery assumed by the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations in its Ha-
waiian investigation has caused the i'm
preston to get abroad that the Morgan
resolution, under which the inquiry Is
held, Is merely a cloak for a much
more important inquiry as to the al
legged ~irregularity OF our diplomatic re-
lations with those islands.
There Is reason for believing that,
while presumably the present quest Is for
Information bearing upon the conduct of
Stevens and Blount. there will be an
effort at the same time to obtain my in
formation which will. in the first place,
prove the capability Of the sland for
self-government, n In the second, the
d~esirability of annexing these islands.
Senator Morgan, who IL Chairman OF
the Committee, has been scrupulously
careful about expressing opinions, upon
the Hawaiian question, manifesting, q
disposition to do or say nothing which
would appear extra judicial, but he Ia
known to be at heart a firm believer In
the wisdom Of attaching the islands to
this country. :
The fact that he has very recently in
troduced a bill in the Senate providing
a form of Government for any acquired
territory, lends FEASIBILITY to the sup
position that he Is looking forward to
possibilities far beyond anything In
cluded In the resolution under which
the Committee Is authorized to conduct
Its present hearing.
