SECOND OFFENSE CASES.
Two Liquor Law VioIatOrs in Court
Yesterday.

The jury in Judge Miller's court yester-
day afternoon disposed of two liquor cases
the penalty In which, as provided by the
law, Is absolute Imprisonment in addition
TO hne. AS the defendants are entitled to
nile motion for a new trial, the court will
not impose sentence until later in the week
In one case the defendant was Jacob Eller
who kept what is known in police circles as
speak easy" at the entrance to O street
alley. This was his second offense. Some
months ago he was tried and convicted,
but because of the nature of the case and
the representations made to the court SEN
tence IN the case was suspended and Judge
Miller was naturally surprised when the
case was brought IN court yesterday 10
know that his former leniency had done the
man no good. Witnesses told OF the scent
drinks they had bought at Eller's place,
and Mr.. Pugh's speech for the District re-
suited in convection in a few minutes.
Mrs. Teresa Arnold, an elderly German wo-
man, was defendant In the other case Of
second violation. She keeps the Wine
House" at 81 ightwood and during recent
years the citizens have complained of in
toxlcated persons coming from there, csDe-
ciany on sundays. She sells nothing but
wine, and, until d short while ago, ii was
supposed that the law would not reach Ter
case, as she grows the grapes and makes
the wine on the place. When attempt
was made TO prosecute her some months
not an intoXicant, and a member of the
police force, called a witness, gave proof
to such effect He had been there and in
Obliged in the wine, and he expressed the
belief that the wine would make one sick,
but not intoxicated.
This was probably because the policeman
had not been in the habit of indulging in
so mild beverage for others who drank
IL were made Intoxicated. The next time
the case was prosecuted chemical anaiy-
sis proved that il was intoxicating, and
Mrs. Arnold was warned against it's sale
to be drunk on the premises. But she did
not heed this advice and continued the sale
until she again reached court, and the jury
found her guilty.
In disposing Of the cases of second offense
the court generally considers the age and
surroundings of the defendant, sending the
old and feeble to Jail, while the younger
ones sent to the work house. Several
Of the Jail prisoners have been released
under the poor convicts' act after a months
service, and it is likely that liquor Offend
ers will hereafter be sentenced to the work
house. IL the court thinks a sentence of
more than a month should be imposed.

FOR LOCAL SUFFRAGE.
The District Association Still Further
Discusses the Subject.

A meeting of the District suffragists was
held last night at Hayden Hall, corner
Pennsylvania avenue and IL streets
northwest. The two Congressman who
were billed for addresses did not appear,
and the audience was fain to be content
with local oratorical talent.
DR.. Reyburn made the first address. He
charged that the great debt which has
been saddled upon the city is the result
of the unrepresentative form of govern
ment and held that the common people of
the District do not have any voice in the
administration of their affairs. He said
the best citizens" of a town are not al
ways those who are the richest, but that
the best citizens, under this definition,
meaning the richest, are the rulers of
Washington. He said the Commissioners,
granting them to be honorable men, and
he thinks they usually are honorable men,
are so bound up with family, social and
business influences, that clique Is form
ed, which prevents the common people
from being represented or having their
voices heard in local matters.
Mr.. j. NJ. Smith said he wants suffrage
in this city, so that when he goes to the
Commissioners office he can be treated
with the same consideration shown the
wealthy man of the west end. He wants
the taxes spent in this city, too and not
in improving country localities, where
there are no houses.
MT. NuSldN AuSSHSteiil all iHpdS"
stoned appeal to the people to liberate
themselves from the shackles which have
been fastened upon them by Congress and
demanded that the women of the District
should have equal share in the right Of
suffrage He said the spirit Of the times
showed that no project can succeed unless
woman is concerned in it, and that their
participation helps and strengthens a
movement in every way.
Master Workman Simmons of the X. of
L., who had just returned from the con-
vention at New Orleans, said the con-
vention had unanimously adopted the pc
tition of District Assembly, No. GO, asking
the delegates to urge their Congressman
to vote for suffrage in the District. He
said there are already nearly 5000 sigma
lures to the suffrage petition and urged
the people to continue their efforts.
After short speeches from Mr.. Geo. o.
Cook, Mr.. Charles Wells and Mr.. NJ. NJ.
Holland the meeting adjourned.

LATE SPORTING NEWS
YACHTsMEN GETTING TOGETHER.
Smoothing Out the Troubles Over the
Americas Cup Race.

A representative of the Associated Press
saw Lord Dunraven last night, and show
ed him an interview with Commodore
Jas. f. Smith, chairman of the Americas
cup committee of the New York. Yacht
Club. Lord Dunraven said: Commodore
Smith Is perfectly correct in what he says
about the New York Yacht, Club being
willing to advance the dates, and in view
of his statement 1 regard that difficulty as
quite settled. 1t could never have been a
real difficulty, as If 1 can build and fit out
our yacht for trials here, then reft her for
the Atlantic passage, and again refit her
for the cup races, surely the New York
yacht people would not find difficulty in
merely building and fitting out a defending
yacht in time to race before October. This
question of time alone has troubled me.
have the greatest objections to racing after
the end of September.
Now that that trouble is over, the only
stumbling block seems to be the question
of the receipt for the cup. This matter
never entered my mind when / decided to
challenge, and Mr.. Grant, secretary of the
Royal Yacht Squadron. wrote the challenge
in the same form as that sent In 1892, and
POSTED it, without a suspicion that 1t would
not be accepted. If the New York Yacht
Club insists that this question of the re-
ceipt shall be settled before the challenge
is accepted at least month will transpire
before meeting of the Royal Yacht Squad
ron can be held, and time will thus be dali
lied away. Anyhow, the matter quite con-
Germs the two clubs, ard rot me. i have
sent Commodore Smiths remarks in re-
gard to this matter to the Royal Yacht
Squadron, which will deal with them. L
am only anxious that the New York Yacht
Club accept the challenge, in order to en-
able me to commence the building of the
new yacht, and that it let the receipt mat
ter stand over for settlement between the
two clubs"
Lord Dunraven concluded by saying:
you can tell the people on the other side
that all L want to be allowed is to race. If
| win L do not care whether they give me
the cup or not"
LONDON. December 12.-The Post this
morning publishes a leader on the inter
York Yacht Club, in which 1T says that
should the club uphold the position taken
by Commodore Smith, and cause the race
to be abandoned the holders of the cup
will have only themselves to blame. Amer
leans must see that English yachtsmen
have nothing to do with the deed of gift.
Nobody knows that better than Commo-
dore Smith. The deed has been condemned
by every yachting club in Great Britain.
Lord Dunraven himself declared that no
challenge could ever be made under it's
terms.
The Americas cup committee possess the
yachtsmen that October Is the worst month
for racing. This was proved in 1894.
Americans must have plenty of time to
build yachts. In the interest Of interna-
tional sport it is hoped that a way will be
found out of the deadlock.

Michael Good Enough.

When Michse ell Hill has visited several
saloons and parted with as many nickels
or dimes he probably imagines he is the
defeated candidate for the New York gov
ernorship, fer he invariably gives his name
as David b. Hill. But Judge KimbaH did
not appreciate the joke when Mike ap-
peared in court this morning.
What is your name?" the court asked
him.
mike HILL" he responded, but when
I'm drinking the boys call me David b.
Michael was good enough for Judge KIM
ball and had David B." put on the fnfor-
nation as alias.
Then he fined Mike S. but he was 81
short and wanted credit for that amount.
which was refused, and he went back into
the dock.

Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has decided, through
Justice Harlan, that the Postmaster
General has no power to bind the gov
eminent by long leases on property to
be occupied for post Office purposes. This
decision was made to apply to the suit of
Mrs. Sophia Chase, as her husbands ex-
ecCtrix, against the United States to re-
cover the annual rental of a building In
the city Of Lafayette, Ind, which had been
erected by her husband and leased to the
government through the Postmaster Gen
eral, in 1870. for term of twenty years at
81, 800 per year for post Office purposes.
Toward the close of the term of the lease
the postmaster vacated the building.
The court affirmed the judgment of the
Texas court of criminal appeals requiring
George A. Pearce to go from Texas to
Alabama to answer to an indictment for
grand larceny.

EAST ST. LOUIS RACING.
1t May Cease During January md
February.

ST. LOUIS. December 1.-THE closing of
the across-the-river tracks during the
months of January and February in order
to comply with the rules of the American
turf congress is a possibility. The matter
will be definitely determined at a meeting
10 be held early next week.
1t is understood that the arrangements
of both the East St. Louis and Madison
tracks are not only willing, but anxious to
comply with this rule of the congress in re-
gard to winter racing, the only thing him
dering them from at once deciding upon
that course being some OF the existing con-
ditions. Primarily, both tracks fear that
If they close a number of mushroom inSti-
buttons will spring into existence. The
creation of several such tracks as these
would injure the standing of the other
tracks and invite legislation which would
work a damage to all the tracks in Illinois.
BARRING this difficulty, the East st. Louis
management Is willing to close down. The
rent question is what bothers the Madison
people.
