New Trial Awarded
Judge Robinson filed

Judge Robinso filed the opinion in the
case of Bowie VS.. Bowie from this county
The case was argued before the full bench
A new trial was awar ded, the lower courts
decision having been reversed. The question
says Judge Robi nson, is a narrow one, and
depends entirely upon the construction Of the
evidence act, codifed as sections l and o,
b code, article So. The suit was brought to
recover an indebtedness alleged to be owing
ito VIM. j. Bowie in his lifetime, and the sole
question is whether the plaintiff administra
trix is competent witness to prove promise
by William B. Bowie to her that he would
pay the money claimed to be due. The court
holds that to permit Rosa B. Bowie, admins
tIatrix d. b. n. of William l. Bowie, to testify
in her own behalf in regard to a promise made
to her by VIM. d. Bowie in his lifetime
would be not only against the spirit, bnt the
plain language of the ac'.

Seeking Appointments.

| The Washington correspondent of the
| Baltimore Sun under Gate of March IA, 1893
| writes.
| Mr.. f. NJ. Cox, OF Charles county, was here
| Wednesday on still hunt for influence to
| secure the internal revenue col!ectorship. MIR.
Cox held the office as acting collector for tive
| mouths prior to the appointment of Collector
Hill. His term, he thinks, was too short to
prelude his appointment on the ground OF be-
ing an x-office-holder.
Mr.. William L. Hill, of Prince Georges
comfy, was also here looking for Senator Cor
man and Representative Compton. Mr.. Hills
name has been mentioned in connection with
the internal revenue office. He said that he
is not and never has peen "a candidate for this
position. He is seeking appointment as an at
torney in the Department of Justice and thinks
he has fair chance of securing what he de-
sires.
Dr.. VIM. Il. Gale, of S)meIset county, is
an applicant for chief of Que of the divisions
in the Treasury Departments. DR.. Gale has
secured some strong Endorsements.
who now come to Washington want either
small postotfices or positions as messengers
and watchmen in the various dep lrtments.
Representative Compton says he is already
loaded down with such Applicant ons and each
day brings i'll new batch. Nothing will be
done about the postoffices until Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster Maxwell, who has the appoi mt
ing power, arrives here and assumes the du-
ties of his Office. Mr. Maxwell is expected on
Thursday. In regard to the other appoint
ments Mr.. Con pton says he will have hard
work to satisfy his constituents" He has
made the rounds Of nearly al. the departments
in their interest, and to his astonishm4nt he
finds that III my dem ,crlts for whom he aud
ago are still holding on. H. cannot ask for
the removal of a democrat, he says, and there
fore many of the present applicants will be
disappointed.
The Baltimore Sun of yesterday said:
1t seems more than probable that the inter
nal revenue relationship at Baltimore, over
which so many democrat in the fifth Mary
land district have been fighting, may not be
given to Maryland at all. 1t is said here to-
day that Delaware, which is included in this
revenue district, is making desperate efforts to
secure this appointment. Senator Gray and
ex-Secretary of State Blyard have enlisted in
the cause of their State, and will, it is said,
make claim on the President to give this
place to some good democrat from Delaware.
The arguments used by them in asking this
favor are weIghty. They say that Maryland
has big custom house at Baltimore and will
secure the appointment Of collector, naval
officer and surveyor, with multitude o f mi
nor places IN each of these departments. More
over, as Maryland comprises the greatest part
of the interna. revenue district, many of the
minor places at the disposal of the revenue
collector must necessarily be given to that
state. Therefore it IS only fair, they say, that
Delaware shall have the relationship.

GOOD BALL PLAYING

Brown University Men.
BOSTON LEAGUERS WIN 6 TO l.
How the New College Players Showed up
Brown Fielded Well hut Was Gen
orally Weak at tho Bat-Much En-
thusiasm Manifested.

judging from the crowd that witnessed
the opening game on Lincoln field yester-
day this is to be a great year for baseball
In Providence. Drawn out by the pleas
ant weather the baseball enthusiasts TO
the number of 500 crowded the bleachers
and were kept busy watching the bril-
liant plays and lively work of both mines.
The work of the leagues was good
considering that they played together
for the first time. and with Murphy and
Long making one or two phenomenal
plays each inning the leaders went wild.
The Boston men had to keep moving all
the time, and had not Carroll made a
circus catch in the seventh the score
would have been tied.
The chief interest of the collegians was
centered in the work of the new men,
Bustard, McMurray and Greene. Greene
caught for six innings and pitched one
inning. He handled himself with the
ease Of a professional aud played a steady
game.
McMurray was hit with ease and was
in too fast company. but showed that he
could put the ball over at critical times.
He will make good man with traininI.
Bustard signalized his first time at the
bat by cracking one over against the
church with tue Eases full. Three men
scored and Bustard was a hero. The
work of Gillon at the bat was fair. He
found the ball but failed to hit safely.
Sexton and Tenny went in for the last
two innings and If anything Sexton
showed more speed than usual ALI the
Brown men seemed to have their eye on
the bali, and had it not been for the
sharp fielding of the visitors would have
had "A considerably larger number of hits
to their credit. The team play OF the
home nine was grand AID altogether it
may be said that the confidence in the
ability OF Captain Sections men has been
greatly strengthened by the result OF
yesterdays game.

Hon. E. ]. Phelps Surprises and Pains
the BritiSherS.
BOMB TOSSED into THE LIONS DEN
Mr.. Phelps Tells the English Statesmen
That Their Course Was Unjust and
Humiliating to This Country, and In
dicates What He Would Do.

PARIS, April 6.-The court of arbitra-
tlon regarding the Bebring sea dispute
resumed it's session yesterday. The Hon.
4. j. Phelps counsel for the United
States, continued bis argument. He con-
tended that he British supplementary
report was inadmissible. The admission
of new evidence at this stage, Mr. Phelps
said, was gr IS injustice to the United
States, because it deprived the United
States of any chance to adduce rebutting
testimony.
Sir charles Russell, In replying to Mr..
Phelps in behalf Of Great Britain, paid
tribute to the late James G. Blaine,
whose ability, he said, was recognized in
both hemispheres.
After luncheon Mr.'Phelps continued
his argument for the rejection of tho
supplementary report or the Bshring sea
commission.
the United States" said Mr.. Phelp-,
"w hen Grea Britain presented the coul =
ter case at the last minute / would then
and there have refused to proceed vii h
the arbitra ion. Great Brit tin's conduit
was not only unjust, but deeply humili.
ating for the United States"
Sir Richard Webster interposed the re-
DldTh Jldb
in her counter case the production at a
future date OF the Behring Sea commits
sion's report.
Mr.. Phelps, in continuing, said that he
had not beea aware OF this. The whole
report, he said, was Enthusiastically, for
although preliminary Investigations had
been made conjointly by the British
and the American commissioners, the
reports had been drawn separately and
the British report, therefore, bad been
neither answered nor commented upon
by the United States.
Sir Charles Russell, in his reply, said
that he had noC expected such discus
sion OF the legal character of the evil
dencs as that Introduced by Mr.. Phelp.,
lie felt quite unprepared for this extra
Obituary heat on the part of the opposing
counsel.
He was extremely surprised that Great
Britain should be charged with injus-
tice in her conduct of the proceedings
preliminary to the meeting OF the court,
There was no intention on the part OF
Great Britain to use the report of the
Benring Sea commission as bearing
upon the question of right before the
court.
