WANTS A NEW TRIAL
Mr. Breokinridge's Counsel File Motion
in Court Today.
Grounds ON Which the Application A
Based-The Next Step Will Be to
Argue the Motion.

Counsel for Col Breckinridge this after
noon filed their motion for a new trial in
the suit of Madeline v. Pollard against
the Kentucky Congressman, In which she
Saturday last recovered q judgment OF
$4,000. The motion is a very formal one.
and sets out nine grounds upon which the
motion is based. The reasons for asking a
new trial are as follows:
Grounds Of the Application.
1. Because the verdict is contrary to the
evidence.
2 Because the evidence is insufficient in
law to sustain said verdict.
g. Because the verdict is against the
weight of evidence.
4. Because the damages awarded by the
jury were excessive.
- For errors Of law, founded on the ex-
cepSfeas. reserved during the trial, and noted
on the minutes of the justice who tried the
cause.
G. For errors Of law in granting the writ
ten instructions prayed by the plaintiff s
counsel and in refusing instructions prayed
by counsel for the defendant.
T. For errors of law contained in the
charge of the court to the jury.
8. For errors of the court in commenting
on the evidence Of witnesses, and on the
witnesses whose testimony was offered on
the trial.
after on the hearing of this motion.
The motion is signed by Butterworth &
Dowell, John T. Shelby, VIM. A. McKenney,
Phil. b. Thompson, counsel for defendant.
The Next Step is Argument.
Now that the motion has been fled the
next step will be for Judge Bradley to set a
day for argument upon it. That he will
probably do after a consultation with coun-
sci on both sides as to what time will be
most convenient to them and the court.
II is not believed that the motion will
be argued this week, however and IL may
not be heard before the latter part of next
week. Rarely does judge override his
own decision; hence, there is little probable
ity of the defendants motion being granted
by Judge Bradley. Therefore, the case
will likely reach the Court of Appeals and.
perhaps, may be carried to the United
States Supreme Court, the amount of the
judgment being sufficient to carry 1t there.
Mr.. Carlisle of counsel for Miss Pollard
stated to Star reporter today that the
plaintiff would defend her judgment to the
very last.

THROWN HEADLONG
A Serious Accident Today to Lieut.
Commander Mansilla.
WHILE ENJOYING 4 HORSEBACK RIDE
Thrown From His Horse, Receiv.
ing Probably Fatal Injuries.
AT THE SOLDIERS HOME

A serious accident that may result in
death, occurred at 10:45 o'clock this morning
about 200 yards south of the hospital in
the Soldiers Home grounds. Lieut.. Com
mander Garcia Mansilla, naval attache Of
the Argentine legation, who is now actie g
as secretary, was erjoying a horseback
ride with the son of Minister Estaniffia&
s. Zeballof Suddenly the horse of the Sec
rotary ran away and soon carried it's rider
down hill and out Of sight Of his COM
panion. When that young man reached
the foot of the hill Lieut.. Commander
Mar silla was found lying unconscious on
the ground. The horse was nowhere to
be seen.
The young man called for assistance end
two inmates of the home soon appeared.
the injured man removed to the hospital.
He was placed on the operating table, under
the care of Lieut.. Col. W. II. Forwood Of
the United States army. head surgeon at
the home. The legation in this city was
Immediately notified of the accident, and
Dire Kerr of the Emergency Hospital and DR..
Eide of the army sent for; Dr. Penrose, the
clinical assistant at the home, assisted.
When they arrived, an examination of the
secretary's injuries was made.
Fracture of the Skull.
He was found to be suffering with a
severe fracture Of the top of the skull,
probably having landed on his head when
thrown from his horse. An operation was
performed to relieve the pressure on the
brain. When Star reporter arrived this
afternoon Secretary Mansilla was still TN
conscious. He was surrounded by Minister
Zeballos. Minister Guzman of Nicaragua,
the minister's son, the physicians and a
number of legation attaches. The physi-
clan stated to the reporter that the injury
is very bad one. and the result is doubtful
although not necessarily fatal.
DR.. Forward, who directed the opera ton,
stated that he had seen worse cases re-
cover, but the chances in this instance are
against 1t. Secretary Mansilla for several
years. was in the French navy. He is a
large, handsome man about thirty years of
age. Doctors Kerr and Edte at 2;30 o'clock,
left for the city, stating that they would re-
turn at o'clock
still Unconscious.
Everything is being done at the hospital
for the comfort Of the sufferer, who at 3
O'Clock had not regained consciousness OF
course the injured man cannot be removed
at present and therefore will remain at
the Soldiers Home Hospital
A Star reporter called at the lega ton,
1893 Massachusetts avenue, this afternoon,
but the entire household had gone to the
Soldiers Home.

A Case in Point Which Illustrates the
Need of Amendments.

Need of Amendment.
A peculiar case under the new liquor law
has just come to light and is in itself a
strong argument In favor of an amendment
to the law. Some time ago Privates Han
ley and OBrien noticed two women coming
out of the bar room of Theodore Rupert,
912 New Hampshire avenue northwest. Up
on investigation of the basket which they
carried seven bottles of beer were found
A warrant was asked for, but the prosecut-
ing attorney refused II on the ground that
they could not swear to the affidavit, nor
could they compel the women to do so.
The papers in the case came before the ex-
else board and upon motion of Commission
er Truesdell Ii was referred to the attorney
for the District for report as TO whether
there was any way to convict in this case
Attorney Thomas says in his report that
''the law as il stands requires the affidavit
of two reputable citizens al to its viola ton
which means that these reputable citizens
must have personal knowledge OF the facts
they depose to. Before the attorney for the
District or his assistants can proceed in
liqnor prosecutions il is necessary as a
condition precedent that the affidavit of
two reputable citizens that the law has been
violated be first filed. In the case under
consideration the officers had no personal
knowledge that Rupert had violated the
law, il he did violate 1T. nor had the officers
any power to compel the two women whom
they saw coming out or Rupperts place to
make the affidavit.
THE Inconvenience of being required to
get two reputable citizens to put the law
in motion Is the subject of an amendment
to the liquor law which, you know, is now
before Congress. This case is a very strong
one in favor of the amendment and Illus
trates the embarrassment and difficulty in
executing the law with the provision that
it shall only be put in motion upon the
affidavit of two reputable citizens In
other matters of more Importance. 1t seems
to Inc. than selling liquor on Sunday, or
without a license, criminal informations
are based upon the affidavit Of one citizen
and there seems to be no good reason why
two should be required in a liquor prose
cution."

In importance in Washington The Star
comes first and is probably not only the
most conspicuous and prosperous daily in
Washington, but is without doubt the best
appreciated and best patronized evening
newspaper in the United States In point
of circulation ii is not reached by any
other evening paper that is sold for more
circulation of The Star is confined almost
exclusively TO Washington. 1t is claimed
for 1t. and probably truthfully claimed,
that no other newspaper In the country
goes into so large a percentage of all the
houses within a radius Of twenty miles
from the office Of publication.
The Star has enjoyed unprecedented
prosperity for twenty-five years. and is
one of the very few papers that has failed
to advance its advertising rates in proper
ton to its growth in circulation, influence
and popularity with the community In
which IL is issued.
Considering its character influence and
circulation, it's advertising rates are ex-
ceedingly low, being matched IN this re-
spect by no more than two or three news
papers issued in other sections The class
of advertising 1t carries is of the best.
The value OF this paper to an advertiser
all things considered, and taken in con-
ncction with the comparative cost of ad-
vertising in it. places IT not lower down
than third in a list of all the best daily
papers published In the United States and
In making out such list a well-informed
advertiser will have great difficulty in de-
Gliding upon even 50 small a number as
two to place in advance OF The Star. He
may even fail TO fix upon one.

FIREMEN KEPT BUSY,
Flames Break Out I'm Four Places I'm
New York City

IN the Eastern Hotel. at the foot of White
hall street The blaze originated on the
ground floor. The hotel is five stories high
and last night held twelve regular boarders
and thirty transIents. The eighteen serv-
ants were asleep on the top floor For
awhile there was a panic among the guests
and they rushed into the street in all man.
ner of dress. The fire escapes were spacious
and afforded an easy means of exit. A
nephew OF the proprietor came down with
silk hat and a bath robe. One woman when
she reached the street made a commotion
by saying that her husband was still in the
building. n fireman went through the
house and found the man asleep in bed. He
was still asleep when he was carried out.

agony on the floor and tried to beat the
flames from his clothing. The hands and
faces OF both men were badly burned. The
Soden family on the second floor had much
difficulty in escaping. One child had been
sick in bed for six months and boarder
carried it down stairs.
The man was so much exhausted when he
reached the street that he had to be taken
TO a drug store for treatment. A Mrs. Gard
Ter. who weighs 800 pounds. failed disas-
trously in trying to escape by the roof. A
fireman managed to lead her down to the
street. The damage was about $4,000.
Some tramps set fire to a lot of straw in
the cellar OF the tenement ~ Park street

full Of small children. and every policeman
and fireman who went into IL came out with
one or two under his arms. But little dam
age was done.
The fourth fire was smaller than any of
the others, and occurred at o'clock in a
grocery store on Sd avenue Little damage
was done.

JEALOUSY AND MORPHINE.
His Life Wns Saved and the Young
Woman Wept for JOY.

A young man by the name of Harry
Moore. who says he is clerk in the Agri-
cultural Department, attempted suicide yes
terday afternoon near the corner of 9th
and l. streets. He had left his home on
9Th street for a walk, and after he had
gone a few squares he took bottle Of
morphine from his pocket and swallowed
the contents.
In few minutes he fell to the ground
and some people who had been watching
him at once summoned the Emergency
Hospital ambulance. As soon q he had
reached the hospital the physicians recog-
nized 1t as case Of morphine poisoning
and resorted to the permanganate of potas-
SUM treatment, the recently discovered
antidote for morphine
1t worked like charm and by 10 o'clock
he was entirely out of danger. 1t appeared
from what could be learned of him that he
was very much in love with a young lady
OF this city, and that something she had
done excited his jealousy. The young lady
called at the hospital several times In the
course OF the evening and seemed to be as
much in love with him as he was with her
When she learned that he was out of
danger she broke down and wept for joy.
