Miss Goddard assert that she is not
engaged to Mr.. Isclin.

judge Miller's Ruling.

Judge Miller made a ruling in liquor
case today which will greatly affect the
business Of some of the saloons, where
theater-goers get late suppers. as well as
other saloons where dining rooms are con-
Quoted. The case In question was a charge
of falling to keep his place closed between
midnight and am. Otto Touissant. who
keeps a saloon and dining room at 7th
and N streets, was defendant. The evil
dence In the case was that on the night in
question several persons were in the de-
fendan's dining room while liquors are also
furnished. The witnesses testified that
their orders for oysters and drinks were
all given before midnight. but 1t was some
minutes after II o'clock when they fin
ished and left the place.
This. Judge Miller says. Is a violation of
law. The law says the place must be
closed between the hours mentioned, and
the Judge told Mr.. Touissant that he must
so arrange his business in order that his
patrons will get out Of the place before
midnight.
The defendant was held guilty, and a fine
Of $50 was imposed.
Counsel gave notice Of a motion for a
new trial.

-HOWGATE INDICTMENTS
Grand Jury Engaged In Grinding Out
New Ones
An Early Trial to BE Asked for by
Mr.. Birney-Will BE
Fought.

It was stated in the Office Of the District
Attorney today that the expected new In
dictments against Capt. Henry w. How
gate would not be loturned before some
day next week. The grand jury was in ses-
sion today. and 1t was stated that that
ebody was hearing a number of witnesses in
the matter of the new indictments The
names of the witnesses were not made pub
lie by the officials in the district attorneys
office, but 1t was elsewhere given out that
among them were L. H. Rogers and w. H.
Moses. 1t was stated that Mr.. Rogers is a
Jeweler in Maiden Lane, N. Y, and that he
was summoned to testify as to certain
sums Of money advanced by him to Capt.
Howgate n 1888 and 1883. 1t was also
said that several Of Mr.. Rogers employees
had been summoned before the grand jury.
At the present time there are nine in
dictments standing against Capt. How
gate, all alleging embezzlement. Seven of
them were returned thirteen years ago,
the others being returned this week. To
replace the four indictments charging for
gerry, which were thrown out of court
few days ago by Judge McComas new in
dictments will, Mr.. Birney expects, be re-
turned next week. 1t Is also stated that
five new indictments, alleging emDe:zie-
ment, will be returned; in which event Mr..
Birney will have eleven new indictments
to proceed upon.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Birney to ask
in day or two. or as soon as all of the
new indictments shall have been return
ed, for an early assignment of the cases
for trial 1t Is understood, however, that
counsel for Capt. Howgate will first en-
deavor. to have the Court of Appeals pass
upon the ruling Of Judge McComas in over
ruling the demurrers to the seven old en-
beZzlement indictments 1t Is also under
stood that the new indictments will be
stoutly contested by Capt Howgate.
Hence, a trial is not expected this month.

A DEATH-DEALIN SHOCK.
What Happens After n Fatal Charge
of Electricity.

From the Philadelphia Record
According to Professor ]. Kratter Of
Graz, who has for some time been per-
forming experiments on the effect of cleo
trical shocks on animal life, death is most
usually caused by sudden cessation of res
piration and consequent suffocation. Dur
ing the suffocation the heart continues in
action. If the asphyxia lasts more than a
certain time, about two minutes, the heart
stops, this being a secondary phenomenon.
Generally speaking, the animals used, cats,
dogs, rabbits and mice, were not easily
killed by 1,G00-2000 volts alternating.
The danger appears to lie in the nervous
system, and to increase with the amount
of brain development. Frequently death
occurs by momentary stoppage of the
movement of the heart, but slow cessa-
ton of the hearts action. such as has
been observed in cases of human DEATH.
was never observed, In no case was any
ana tomcal alteration observable TO which
death might be attributed, but there are
sometimes LESSONS, breaking of blood ves-
sells, and the diagnosis is rendered certain
by the peculiar burning at the position of
contact, and by the escape of blood from
the capillaries, which indicates the path
taken by the current.

DUNRAVEN'S CHALLENGE

NEW YORK, December Judge Ran
dolph B. MARITIME was the first witness
called to- give testimony for the defense Of
District Attorney Fellows, ON trial for neg
lect Of duty. The judge said 1t was the
custom Of the district attorneys office to
try prison before bail cases; that there
had been little delay Of business in his
court through the district attorneys failure
to exercise diligence. and he did not think
it possible for the district attorneys office
to bring to trial pending prison and bail
cases during the year now ending
Recorder Smythe was the next witness
called by the defense.
He was asked whether he had had any
need during this year to repeat his COM
plant of 1893 that the work of the district
attorney was Inefficient.
Il have had no such need. I think there
has been decided improvement in the
efficiency OF the district attorneys office
during this year."

This afternoon Judge Cox allowed Thos.
]. Marshall and Beverly Butler. residents
of Virginia, to intervene In the suit of
Wheeler ct al. against the Fidelity Build
ing. Loan and Investment Association.
They state in their petition that they are
shareholders in the association, although
their certificates purport to be in the CO.
lumbia Association. But they say that
the two associations are so mixed together
that they are unable to understand just
where they stand.
Their representations, as set forth In the
petition, are not materially different from
these of other parties complaining. and they
therefore pray that the Columbia or Ffdel-
ity Loan, Building and Investment Asso-
citation may be enjoined from further op-
erations in the District, and that receiver
may be appointed.
A Judgment of s27 in favor of ]. w. RAM
say has been received against the asso-
citation by Mr.. j. H. Ralston, and 1t Is un-
derstood that a number of cases will be
filed by other shareholders.
While the attention of District Attorney
Birney has been called to the association,
1T is understood that he will take no action
in the matter. for the present at least. The
officers of the association state that they
are confident of their ability to convince
the courts that their association Is le-

that 81. 10000 of gold was withdrawn from

About half Of that amount was taken to

and the prediction Is freely made that the
