Jesse A. Walker Gets Another Trial.

The old man, Jesse A. Walker, who killed
B. f. Goolsby at Basic City, three years ago,
and who has been twice tried and convicted
will again be tried. In the first trial the jury
fixed his term in the penitentiary at years,
and in the second trial at six years. Judge
Mclaughlin remanded the case to the County
court for new trial for the reason that "there
is error in the record in excluding evidence of
uncommunicated threats
And upon such trial, if there is testimony
from the accused or any other person raising
a doubt as to who was the assailant in the

FINANCIAL.
The following are extracts from the Finan-
cia review of Henry Clews of December 1st:-
wall Street still remains comparatively
stagnant. Even the great success of the Treas
ury loan has failed to raise ripple of excite
ment and has produced no visible effect upon
prices. There have been times and conditions
when such an exhilarating event would have
inspired a speculative BOOM but operators
have been comparatively insensible to this
negotiation, in spite of its assuring sugges-
tons.
The success of the loan has an important
effect as evidencing revival of confidence
among investors. 1t shows that the owners
of the mass of capital so long kept idle are
becoming satisfied that the depression in the
value of sound securities has reached bottom.
When the Government has $50 millions offer
ed at per cent it is a fair presumption that
there is large amount of money waiting to
enter investments of other kinds at 4 to 5 per
cent. The holders of this capital have now a
plain standard of what they may get, and SO
far the way is cleared to the negotiation of
corporate securities.
For the reasons here expressed, we look for
some important ultimate advantages from
the success of the fifty millions loan. At the
moment, however, there is too much IN the
influences affecting finance that is still in a
stage of suspense, to admit of any really ac-
tive movement on the market for securities.
These uncertainties, however, are not sugges-
tive of aggravation of any existing unhealthy
conditions. They are Connected with meas
ures and policies expressly contemplated for
better regulation of monetary and financial
affairs; and therefore, though they may hold
investment and speculation in check in some
measure, they afford no motive for realizing
and no reason for expecting lower prices for
securities"

r e AD.
nov l4-tf e

If you have made an invention you want a
patent. And you want good one. There are
various kinds of patents. Some of them are
not worth keeping around the house. They
don't protect. 1t is as unsafe to trust to them
as to a lightning rod without ground con-
necton. That is the kind an inventor is like
ly to get when he draws up his own specifca-
lions, or trusts the work to an irresponsible
attorney. 1t is not the kind dealt in by the
Press Claims Company.
DO you want to know what the Rress Claims
Company is? 1t is syndicate of hundreds of
the leading papers of the United States, or
ganized to protect those of the subscribers
who have dealings with Government against
the impoSitions of Inscriptions claim agents.
The SPECTATOR is a member.
This able Company employs the best legal
talent in every branch of its work. 1t makes
speciality of all matters relating to patents
conducting interferences, prosecuting rejected

rendering opinions as to scope and validity of
patents, securing patents abroad, prosecuting
and defending infringement suits, etc. 1t

THE ELEVATED THIRD TRACK.

Judge Ingraham's decision in the Ele-
| waited Railroad case was handed down
yesterday. and II seems to decide both
ways. The Judge holds that the Rail-
road Commission OF 1875 still lives. al
though 1t has been IN a sort of pro-
longod trance FOR many years. and still
has authority to grant the Elevated
hallway Company the privilege Of CON
structing and operating the "swItChingS
and sidings'' already built between Sew
cntecnth and Twcnty-siXth streets. ON
Ninth avenue. and intended for use as
a third track. The city Is therefore de-
MED an Injunction to restrain the Rail
way Company from using the additional
tracks.
But the Judge adds that the methods
Of the Manhattan corporation in stealing
the streets as illustrated by its eleventh
hour resurrection of the Old tommls-
sion and the procurement OF Its approval
after the work had been done. proves
that there il danger OF It's appropriation
OF the whole OF Ninth avenue for a
third track without legal authority"
Hence. the injunction is granted 80 far
as to restrain the railroad corporation
from making any track extensions except
such as rave been approved by the Rip
Van Wrinkle Commission Of 1876.
There Is a great deal Of performance
for the gallery In this, The decision. in
reality. Is wholly In favor Of the Man
haitian corporation, which cares nothing
for d%enunciation 40 long as it gets the
shekels.
II the Commission of nearly twenty
wears aro still has power, as il has
shown 1t has disposition, to let the cor
poration Ia whatever privileges 1t
asks. 1t can easily give II the authority
to construct It's third track on the en-
tire Ninth avenue route without saying

will be no necessity for Mr.. Gould and

BLISS CHECKS MlLHOLLAND.
There May Be Two Sets of Dele
gates 10 the Stntc Convention.

John f. Milholland, having secured the
Endorsement of ex-senator Plat for his
anti-machine organization Of Republi-
cans expects his scheme to go through
with a hip hurrah at his Cooper Union
County Convention Friday night. Mr..
Milholland now claims to have the only
real Republican County organization,
and boasts that his delegates will be
recognized by the State Convention.
But Cornelius y. Bliss's Committee of
Thirty on Reorganization of the Republi-
can machine appears to be a stumbling
block In the way of Milholland's ambi-
ton, md one that cannot be overcome
without revolutionizing established party
principles.
Mr., BLISS Committee was appointed
by the regular County Committee, and Is
acting under authority OF that Commit
tee, MIR. Bliss refuses to be superseded
by the fiery young Milholland, and will
go right ahead with organization on the
election district plan.
The probabilities are that there will be
two County Committees and two sets of
delegates elected to the next State Con-
v%ention. Republicans think 1t hardly
possible that Plat will carry his spite
against the Union League Club so far as
to order his State Committee to seat the
so-called anti-machine delegates.
