Richardson Has the Certificate of Election
aud Belknap VIII Contest.
Special Dispatch to The Evening star.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. 6.-The decision
OF the state supreme court upon the congress
sional situation in this district is inter-
esting. but will not have much bear
ing upon the result. The election Of George
+. Richardson, the populist democratic
candidate, were conceded by q plurality OF
eight before the official returns were canvassed.
The official canvass gave Capt. Chas. E. Bel
KNAPP, the republican candidate for reelection,
plurality Of eleven. Richardson de-
manded a recount in Kent and Ionia
counties. The Kent canvassing board was
republican and Ionia democratic. The Kent
board completed its labors first and when
Ionia finished plurality Of seventeen was re-
turned for Richardson in the district. The state
canvassing board accepted these figures
ton to Mr.. Richardson and the
certificate was promptly forwarded to Washing
ton to be recorded. Belknsp appealed to the
supreme court and the court finds that the
recount in Ionia was unfair and unjust, and
orders that the Ionia county board reassemble
and make returns on the face Of the original
returns before recounting.
The court also ordered the state canvassing
board to recall the certificate issued to Richard
son and to give credentials Of election to Belk-
nap instead.
dentials from this district-those presented by
Richardson, the first to be put on ale, and Belk-
nap's-and can act on whichever certificate it
pleases. The effect, however, will be that
Belknap will be the contestant for the seat in
stead Of Richardson.

SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY PROMISED

Revelations to Be Made by Member Of ths
Whisky Trust.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-The Ne,cs Record pub.
fishes a story to the effect that among the wit
nesses that to be called to testify before the
congressional committee investigating the
whisky trust is an old-time member Of the
whisky pool" and subsequently the trust
now living in this city.
His information is likely to be sensational, Of
he has been for months gathering letters, tele-
grams and documents concerning methods
adopted by the trust
Inside facts are detailed of frauds against the
government since 1865 in which a great many
prominent politicians Ct the present time figure,
who have been from time to time connected
with the internal revenue department.
One OF the startling features Of the evidence,
II is said. will be the account Of the attempted
destruction at the Schufeldt distillery in the
early morning OF December 10, 1888.
II was the intention Of those planning the
destruction Of the distillery to have two bombs
thrown through glass skylight on the one
tanned 1,400 barrels of the spirits
Of wine. The dynamite had
been prepared. one with a long fuse and the
other with short one. OF the two men who
had sueaked along in the early dawn to wreck
the Schufeldt buildings one was a high official
u
employee, who had been hired to throw the
bomb.
At the last moment the enormity Of the
crime caused him to lose his nerve and his
chief was obliged to hurl the deadly missiles.
He. too, lost his nerve and threw the
dynamite with the shorter fuse. This
exploded before the second could be
thrown. One man bore away contract author
izing him to be paid $50, 900 for his part of the
transaction. This was not paid. however. and
it Is said the man will now turn against the
trust.
The developments, however, will not stop at
the disclosure Of the attempts on the Schu-
feldt's distileries The illicit manufacture
and sale OF whisky through tbs collision of
revenue officers. inspectors. gaugers and gov
eminent storekeepers will be exposed.
This portion Of the evidence will, it Is
claimed by the Record. take in nearly all the
large centers, including this city, New York,
Boston. Philadelphia, Peoria, Bloomington,
Cincinnati, St Louis, Springfield and Indianap-

city was preceded by reports in the papers to
the effect that the distinguished virginian

denies with emphasis. Il had a very pleasant
and quite lengthy call upon Mr.. Cleveland"

silver was not mentioned. I do not
recall that even the word silver was mentioned
during our conversation. Neither the Presi-

its repeal" This was all that Mr. Overall

COL. SIMS DIVORCE SUIT.
Seeking to Annul His Marriage With Cor
Tanner.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The suit Of Col.
VIM. E. Sim. proprietor Of the Park Theater
Brooklyn, against Cora Tanner Sim. was called
for trial this morning by Judge Clement in the
special term of the city court
The suit is brought by Col. Sim to annul his
marriage with Cora Tanner on the ground that
when he married her she had another husband
living. from whom she had not obtained a
divorce.
Lawyer John L. Pill appeared for Col. Sim
and Robert IL. Griffin on hand to look after
the defendants interests in the suit.
Mr.. Griffin asked that the suit be postponed
for two weeks. saying that issue in the case had
only been made on December 20 and he did
not have time to collect his testimony and get
ready for the suit.
This was opposed by Mr.. Hill, who said that
the plaintiff had brought the first husband as a
witness from the other end OF the state and
that they believed he should not be obliged to
come such distance again and on that &C.
count he urged that the case should go on.
After further discussion Judge Clement said
that he would adjourn the case until clock
this afternoon. when the lawyers could decide
on some arrangement.

HORSES ON LEXINGTON BRANCHES.

The Amendment Agreed on by Congress
Said to BE Only Temporary Measure.
The signature Of the President is all that is
now necessary to allow the lexington and
Soldiers Home Railroad Company to operate
horse cars on the proposed extension.
The Senate late Saturday afternoon agreed
to the House amendments to that bill
which will allow the road two more years
within which to complete their extension and
allow them the privilege Of using horse power
over all of their lines. This matter was dis
cussed before the Senate District committee
and 1t was decided that the road should be
given this relief. 1t was urged on behalf Of the
railroad company that their toragc-battery
system, used on G street, had proved a fail
ure, not only was the expense great that
the company would soon be unable to
continue it, but the weight Of the cars
was rapidly destroying their road beds and
the adjoining pavements. The committee felt
that unless the road was given some temporary
relief until another motive power could be
determined upon by it the company might
be forced to suspend. II is understood
by the committee, though not so stated in the
provisions of the bill that the privilege is only
q temporary one and will be revoked SO soon
as the District committee can determine
upon what system Of motive power shall be
used. The privilege granted, though it
extends TO all the lines Will anect only the Cap
itol Hill extension, as the railroad company has
informed the committee that they will operate
the trolley where SO allowed, and the COM
pany already has the privilege, it claims, to
operate horse power on the 5th and G street
lines. Senator Mcmillan, chairman Of the
committee, said today: 1--WE decided to allow
this company the right to operate horse
cars on their extension in order that they
may be able to construct their extension and
give the people on Capitol Hill a railroad
line. 1t is a temporary grant We can reject
it when some other system of motive power is
decided upon. We became convinced that the
storage battery system operated on G street
was a failure, and that the expense to the road
was great that they would be unable to
build the extensions granted them"
Senator Harris, who made the motion to
concur in the House amendment. practically
Endorsed the statement made by Senator
Mcmillan. and stated further that it had come
to the point where some relief was imperative.
Mr.. Gallinger, another member of the COM
mittee. said practically the same thing. 1t was
thoroughly understood that the privilege was
temporary one. and would only hold SO long as
they deemed 1t necessary for the road to adopt
some other motive power.
Mr.. Richardson Of Tennessee, who proposed
the amendment authorizing the lexington and
Soldiers Home Railroad Company To use
horses on its line, said today that horse mower
is to be used only on the Capitol extension of
the line. He would be willing, however. to let
the company use horses ON its G. street line
until the storage battery ouestion in sottIad

AN EXTRA SESSION.
The Action Of the Senate Today Believed
to Make One Certain

The action of the Senate in refusing to take
up the silver question seems to settle the ques-
ton Of action in that body on the proposed
repeal of the silver purchase law. 1t is
believed also to make practically certain the
calling OF extra session of Congress
In the spring for the purpose Of stopping the
purchase of silver. 1t is too early to determine
what effect the vote in the Senate will have on
the course followed by the anti-silver men in
for repeal will be pressed as earnestly as if
there were some chance for action in the
Senate.
An extra session. it was said today, would
probably be called soon after the Inauguration
OF Mr.. Cleveland. and there is very little doubt
felt that there will be little, If any, distribu-
ton of patronage under the new administra-
ton until this silver question is disposed Of.
