DEBS' SENTENCE.

Legality of II TO Be Tested in the United
States Supreme Court.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Judge Woods to-day
decided that the jail sentence for Debs and
his six associates in the Santa Fe case should
begin January s. On motion of Attorney
Gregory for the defense in the Santa Fe gov
ernment cases, on which the sentences were
cumulative, they were separated and SEN
tence of the latter was deferred until the
Santa Fe sentence shall have been served.
An appeal will be taken in the government
case and the sentence was deferred soJanuary
s to allow an appeal to De perfected.
The defense asked that the sentences be
made cumulative instead Of concurrent.
There were two cases in which tbs men were
guilty of contempt-the government case aud
the Santa Fe. Judge Woods entered the
order. which, if carried, would give Mr..
Debs one year in jail instead OF SIN months,
and the others six months instead OF three.
This point was purely technical for the Iur-
pose of testing the legality of both sentences
in the United States Supreme Court.
"Of course We have to take our chances for
a longer Imprisonment" said Debs in an in
terview, but we feel that we are justified in
taking the risk. The decision OF the point
involved, if in our favor, will be a great vic
tory for organized labor. On the other hand.

been Issued.
On one OF these he was being transferred
from the city hospital 10 The county Jail.

some sharp practice was being played The
contest over the writs aDd other complica-

ganiield is resting in Jail. and his attorneys
are resorting TO every possible means TO OBJ
struct the Virginia authorities.
After fighting all day on various legal
points the case of Charles Mo-Ganfield was
postponed until January TO- TO allow the
prisoners attorneys time to introduce depo-
sitions in their efforts 10 prove an alibi on The
night of the Aquia train robbery. The at

tested most vigorously against the right OF
the court here to 20 into such an examin-
alton, but Judge Evans granted the coninu-

TOOK HIS SENTENCE mEEKLY.
Sccly VIII spend Eight Years in the
Kings County Penitentiary.


Kings County Pcnitentiary.
NEW YORK, Dec 24.-Samuel C. Seely, who
on Monday last pleaded guilty to the charge
of abstraeting funds and altering the books
OF the National Shoe and Leather Bank, was
to-day sentenced to eight years imprison-
ment in Kings County Penitentiary by Judge
Benedict in the United States circuit court.
The total amount of the defalcation was
1854 900. but the specific charges against
Seely involved only 50, ,0S0.
When Judge Benedict entered the court all
the chairs were filled with spectators, among
who N were President Crane, Vice President
Pease, and Director Beach, of the Shoe and
Leather Bank.
A couple of Italians were first called for
sentence. They had pleaded guilty to election
frauds and were sentenced to three years
each.
When Seely's name was called he arose
slowly from his seat and walked up to the
bar with his uncle on one side and Lawyer
Angel on the other.
Lawyer Angel made an earnest plea for
cemency, and said that although the crime
charged was very serious one, he thought
the ends OF Justice would be served by the in
Fiction of the minimum penalty of five years.
When the lawyer had finished there was
not sound in the court room, and Judge
Benedict looked at the prisoner for fully a
minute before he spoke.
In few brief sentences he said that he ad-
mired Seely for pleading guilty, but the large
amount involved and the position which
Seey held in the bank made it necessary for
him to infict a severe sentence in the hope
it would deter others from following in his
footstep.
The sentence of the court is.'' said Judge
Benedict, that you be imprisoned in Kings
county penitentiary for the term Of eight
years"
Seely meekly bowed his head to the judge
and left the court room with the deputies.
Seely by good behaviour can earn a commu-
tation of thirty-two months. which will re-
duce his term of Imprisonment to five years
and four months

METROPOLITAN MEN GRURBLB

Did Not Receive Their Stipends Yester-
day and No New Schedule Yet.
A new timetable, for one day only. went
into effect yesterday on the Metropolitan
Street Railway. To-day the men Will resume
work on the old schedule, which will con-
tinue in effect until about New Years Day,
when the proposed twelre-hour schedule will
come into use. The delay in running tine line
on the new timetable. which has already been
prepared, is due. it is sad TO the failure OF
the company to receive from the New York
manufacturers five new ears. which are to be
used on the Connecticut avenue branch, and
will allow of the proper alternating of the
East Capitol street and Capitol cars. The
new vehicles are expected to he here and in
service by the commencement of 1895.
There was considerable grumbling among
the Metropolitan railway employees last
night, owing to the failure of the company to
pay them their weeks salaries. Tuesday is
the regular pay day on the road, but the men
were hopeful that as pay day this week came
on Christmas they would receive their
amounts yesterday. as the situation stands
now, the men will not be paid of until to-
morrow and will consequently find themselves
embarrassed for Christmas money.

THERE ARE NO ASSETS.
Columbia Building and Loan Association
Rather in Bad Way.

The Columbia Building. Loan and Invest
ment Association has no assets for claims
outside those OF preferred creditors, and it is
suspected that the Fidelity Building and
Loan Associate n is not I---l better An
other receiver to act with Mr.. Norton for the
Fidelity is talked Of The Columbias con-
dition is revealed by a preliminary statement
| made by tine receivers yesterday in seekin.,
instructions from Judge Cox.
Receiver Poole. who is attorney for a num-
Der OF the Columbian certificate holders,
came in early and began a long statement OF
the concerns condition. He had obtained it
| from AlonZo Tweedale. secretary OF the assO-
| citation. As he was proceeding Mr.. William
son came into court and asked what was be-
| ing done. When told, he said he had not
heard anything of this statement and had not
| signed it. Mr.. Poole seems disposed to run
away from Mr.. Williamson In the inveStiga-
| ton.
The report, which beth receivers have
signed say the assets consist principally OF
small loans repayabls in instailments running
| over period OF years. and more than half OF
these loans arc secured only by the stock of
the associa ion. The expense of collection
would very nearly equal the amount collecti-
ble. The net assets, they believe. Will not pay
the preferred claims. They ask whether they
| shall collect installmen;s due on unpledged
| stock and what to say to certificate holders
! who ask whether failure TO pay will cause for
| feiture OF their stock.
Judge Cox answered that they should not
col ect instailments on unpedged stock, and
as to forfeiture OF stock because Of lapses he
said certifica'e holders might be told they
need not pay installments in order to keep
| their standing in the association. With the
rec syers before him, stating in effect that
/ the certificates are absolutely worthless as
/ IA L thia last rulinCr yv4
| for his official gravity, and 1t went 70 pieces
/ in broad smile.
/ 1t was stated that the cash on hand was
not sufficient TO pay Office rent, Sl50a month.
and salaries OF an expert and assistants, and
d request to be permitted to sell tine office fur
niture to defray current expenses and TO move
into less costly rooms was granted. 1t is
! said the amount of cash on hand found by
the receivers was S33.
| Mr.. PoOles statement prepared by Mr.
Tweedale shows the Columbia Association
has collected $3.50. 1868, and used for running
expenses S161. eco or about 20 per cent. while
only 900. .703 has gone 10 the loan fund. The
Fidelity Association has collected SCI. 195 and
used s29, 995 for current expenses, leaving
I $37, 500 for loans After some remarks upon
the condition indicated by these figures Mr..
Poole said there appeared to be good reason
why another receiver should be appointed. and
the question was asked whether Judge
Hughes might lot be induced 70 name some
one to act in conjunction with Alr. Norton,
as Mr. Williamson has been attorney for
the Fidelity Association. Judge Cox sug-
gested that the whole matter might be re-
ferred TO the auditor for an accounting but
no action YVES agreed upon.

CONVICTED OF PERJURY

William A. Clark the Saloon Keeper
Found Guilty-Mercy Recommended.
William A. Clark, who formerly kept sa-
loon on Pennsylvania avenue, near Twelfth
street, was yesterday convicted of perjury.
The jury was out for over five hours, and in
rendering the verdict made recommends
tion to mercy.
Clark testified in his own behalf when
charged with Illegal liquor selling, and the
testimony proving him guilty of false swear
ing was strong and convincing. He has,
however, been a man of some Importance in
liquor circles. and a strong effort was made
10 clear him. 1t is probable that the case viii
be carried further if any plea can be found
upon which to rest a stay Of sentence.

BERLIN, Dec. 24.-Before leaving Yarzin,
Prince Bismarck paid a farewell visit to the
chapel in which the princess is resting. The
scene which followed made deep impression
upon all who witnessed it.
For long time after leaving the chapel,
the prince sat beneath fir tree, leaning upon
his stick and his eyes turned towards the
grave of the princess. 1t was with great diff
Guilty that his physician prevailed upon him
to leave Yarzin and give up his daily visit to

CHARLESTON, S. c.. Dec: 24.-Sergt. Brown,
penitentiary guard, shot Philip Dick, no.
torious negro convict, at Ashley Junction to-
day. Dick had escaped from the penitentiary,
had been recaptured in Bufort, and was
being taken back, when at the junction he
broke from the guard, who fired and brought
him down. A turbulent crowd gathered and
Brown was forced to make his escape without
capturing the negro or learning whether he
had killed the man. The section about Ash
ley Junction is overrun with laHless negroes,
and trouble is feared.

In addition to giving q Christmas present
of an extra days pay to every employe of the

dent Dunlop showed his appreciation of a
good deed yesterday afternoon. Tho streets
were crowded with people as Pennsylvania
avenue cable train No. 226 passed Seventh
street. A wee tot was on the track, and only
by the promptest action on the part of the
gripman, who quickly applied both track and
wheel brakes, did the child escape serious,
perhaps fatal injury, the car stopping not a
foot from the little one. President Dunlop,
who was present, stepped forward and gave
the gripman a crisp S5 bill for his promptness
and efficiency.

line is operated, yesterday fled a demurrer to
his wife's petition for divorce. His attorneys
are J. Coleman and E. B. Hay. They pro-
pose 10 make an argument upon the point
that Mrs. Wheeless does not assert that her
husbands infldelity with Mrs. Hay, wife of
DR.. Hay, of the Weather Bureau, was without
the consent and condonation OF the wronged
wife.
II is notable that an amendment to the bill
for divorce covering this very point was filed
