NEW YORK, May 10.-Rumors of large

The Ainsworth Case.

1t is understood that the demurrer filed by
Col Fred c. Ainsworth to the indictment
recently returr4d against him in con 1ection
with the Ford's Theater disaster Of the eth
Of June last will be argued tomorrow. The
arguments will probably be made before
Judge McComas. in Criminal Court No. L.
The demurrer to the previous indictments in
the case were also made before Judge Nc
Comas, but his decision sustaining them was
reversed by the Court Of Appsals Should
Judge McComas dismiss the demurrer to the
present Indictment, and District Attorney
Birney Is confident that 1t will be dismissed,
the Court OF Appeals will hardly hear an
appeal IN the matter, until after there has
been q trial by jury Of the case, and q con-
viction: provided, Of course, there should be
conviction. For the court, in its opinion
Quashing the previous indictments, intimate
60 that II would not again hear an appeal
from an interlocutory matter in q criminal
case. Hence, in the event Of Judge Nc
Comas deciding the present indictment to
be good. an early trial Of the case will, It IN
understood. surely follow.

Some of the Changes in the Personnel
of the Office.


NE Benedict. the public printer. is a popu-
lar man. and is much sought after by public
men and others. His line of daily callers
rivals the procession that finds 'ts way to
the White House at the beginning of an ad-
ministratIon, although. of course. there is a
difference in the length and in the num-
bers. The rush, however. is by no means
unprecedented. and no doubt the public prin-
ter recalls days in his former administra-
ton when il was more difficult for bin to
get a chance to transact the business of the
office than at present. He manages to do
considerable business, and at the same time
receive those who call on him. Today he
was practically all through with the recep-
ton little after noon, and about o'clock
he went out to luncheon.
He is gradually making changes in the
personnel OF the force. Some Of the latest
changes are as follows: He has appointed
William S. Edmunds CT Indiana foreman Of
the second division of the document room, to
succeed John l.. Kennedy of In Hama, re-
signed. Mr.. Edmunds is not stranger. as
he has been employed in the office for some
years. The foreman of the third division of
the document room is now William E
Shields of Ohio. who succeeds Albert Cottle
Of Massachusetts,. resigned. Mr.. Shields is
we'll known here in printin circles. and is
now serving his second term as IT ,sident of
the Columbia Typographical Union.
Charles NJ. WEIGH of HyattSville, Md, has
been appointed chief of the folding room in
place OF Mr.. Penicks, resigned. 1t is
stated that Harold Benedict of New York,
nephew Of the public printer, is to be made
foreman OF the specification room. W. X.
Ramsey, who held that position. has Ie-
signed.
Mr.. Ulrich Of Chicago, who was a candi-
date for appointment as public printer, has
been made foreman OF the press room in
place of Mr.. Auer. resigned. This change
was foreshadowed in The Star. Mr.. Ulrich
assumed his new duties yesterday.
There are rumors in regard to ether
changes, but no authoritative statement has
been made.

A COOLHEADED DRIvER.
He Averts Danger From n Layely R...
away Team.

The runaway team attached to q heavy
brick wagon created much excitement on
the avenue this afternoon between 2 and 8
o'clock. and only the GOODNESS and nerve
Of the muscular negro who was driving the
frightened animals prevented the destruc-
ton OF several light vehicles, and probs ole
damage to life and limb OF their occupants
The team was returning to the brick yard
empty, when the horses. two Of which were
at the pole. and one In the lead, suddenly
started at q dead run down Pennsylvania
avenue. The driver rose TO his feet in the
wagon. and for a few moments played the
part or black Ben Hur for the edifcation
OF the excited throngs along the avenue.
de guided the maddened animals In and
out among the approaching vehicles. whose
drivers were startled into helplessness by
the destruction that seemed 10 be bearing
down upon them.
As the horses few past 18th street the
driver saw an opportunity for stopping
them. At one place along the avenue front
Of the new city post Office site a telegraph
pole stands within three and one-half or
four feet OF the fence that incloses the
square. The negro tugged at the reins and
guided the leader OF his team between the
post and the fence. That settled the rum
away. The horses were all thrown down
but no injury was inflicted upon them ana
In few minutes the team and its uncon-
cerned driver went quietly of toward South
Washington.

In Camp Today.
The commOnweaI camp which Carl
Browne has distinguished by the perma-
nent name Of Camp Tyranny. presented a
much improved appearance this morning
The entire Enclosure had been swept and
carts and wagons were removing the last
vestige Of the piles Of garbage that had ac-
cumulated during the many months of the
squares use as a dumping ground. Neither
CoAey or Browne were present I'D to 1
o clock, and no one at the place knew any,
thing about the notice served by the Dis
trict authorities notifying the occupants of
the lnclosure to move out within forty-eight
hours Browne had ordered a continuance

pa-ture OF commonwealers from the camp

OF the noses of the commonweala-s within
the Enclosure would not have developed the
presence of more than no of Coxay's de-
iuded disciples, and conversation with sew
eraI OF these showed that discoatent was
sun on the Increase and additional deser-
tons would occur
one man named Cohen said a number of
rs friends were going to leave, as they
knew the jig was up. and they did not
care 10 De parties to Brownies present plan,
whlch was to refuse to accede to the order
OF the Commissioners to vacate the prem
iSes and TO thus compel the arrest of every
man In the camp. Cohen said that none Of
the real workmen. who had been led into
joining the movement, would submit to
such a scheme. they did not relish being
tIcarcerated as criminals. They had gone
far enough in their support of Coxey and
PrCwne. but had reached the limit of their
endurance He also said that many of the
n en-, however. would rather be arrested
than not. fer the recent recruits to the
army were THE worst set Of buns he ever
saw.
Shortly before noon the dirty straw upon
which the men have slept for several
nights past was piled up in the center of
the camp and burned. and fresh supply
sent for 1t had become vermin ridden, and
this condition has caused many permanent
assertions from camp. while many of the
men who remain in camp during the day
seek sleeping places outside at night on
this account.

No Omcial Advices.

No official news has been received here Of
the election Of Gen. Caceres as president Of
Peru. but no doubt is entertained that such
has been the outcome of the elections Be
fore the sudden death Of the late President
Bermudez, Caceres had announced his can
didacy for the presidency.
When the second vice president, Borgono
succeeded to the presidential office, having
practically deposed Solar, the first vice pres
ident. it was the common belief that this
was only a step toward the realization of
Caceres' desire.
Recent advices to the State Department
however. Indicate the existence Of a formid-
able opposition party, finding it's leaders in
the house of representatives. that may yet
cause serious trouble. and therefore the L.
8. s. Charleston sailed this morning from
Montevideo for Callao, Peru, to be on hand
