Unexpected Ending of n Case In the
Police Court.

Ending of q Case In the
Police Court.
William Warfield, young colored man,
called at Eng Fons's laundry this morn
ing at $50 o'clock. He says he went in
there to take his weeks wash, but the
Chinaman thinks he was in there for an
other purpose. There was an exciting time
in the celestiaps place when the latter
caught Warf1eld and attempted to hold
BIN for the police. When Officer John
son arrived and found the men clinched he
arrested Warfield on a charge Of assault
The question raised in the case in court
was whether or not Warfield had left q
bundle Of clothes in the laundry. He said
he did, and the Chinaman said he did not.
In order to determine this question the
Use went over until tomorrow. The China
man was then charged with having assault

deavored to make 1t appear that the boy

BALTIMoRE,s PRIMARIES.

Both LOvDdes and MUIStef Men Are
Claiming Victory.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, August 1.-THE re-
publican primaries will be held between 4
and O'Clock in Baltimore this afternoon.
The greatest excitement prevails, owing to
the intense rivalry of the opposing factions
of the party. The republican headquarters
at the Carrollton have been crowded all
day. and numbers of county politicians will
be on hand to watch the afternoons fight.
Both the Lowndes and Master men claim
the victory in today's elections and bitter
rivalry exists between the opposing fac
tions, and each side was openly assert
ing this morning that the other faction con-
templated fraud at the elections this az
ternoon.
An extra force of police will be on hand;
and should seriou5 difficulty arise 1t will
not have been unanticipated. The silk
stocking" element of the party and many
of the prominent politicians are supporters
of Lowndes, while Masters strength lies
in the working classes and the negro
voters. The popular belief Is that the
votes of the city will be divided and that
the Master men will have majority, but
the fact that Lowndes has the window and
the election officers in sixteen Of the TWEEN
ty-one wards makes such an outcome very
doubtful.
The result at Cambridge Is very uncer-
tain, as numbers of the county delegates
will go to the convention unpledged and
unlnstructed, and their course will deter
mine the outcome.

ALL ABOUT ANIMAL EXTRACTS.
The Columbia Chemical Company I
Severe ON DIR. Hammond.

The Columbia Chemical Company IL
Severe ON DIR. Hammond.
The difficulties existing between the Co
IL mbia Chemical Company of this city and
DR.. William A. Hs mmond, involving the
n anIfacture of certain animal extracts,
and which have been aired in court from
time to time during the past few months.
were continued today before Judge Cole.
The hearing, which occupied the entire
session of the court, was on a cross bill re-
Gently filed by DIR. Hammond. on which
rule was issued directing the Columbia
company to show cause why a temporary
restraining order against DR.. Hammond,
made June %, should not be dismissed.
The answer of the Columbia company to
the cross bill was also filed today. Among
other things, it sets forth that DR.. Ham
mond used nitro-glycerine N the use of the
animal extracts. After the doctor denied
such use, says the answer, the company
employed the official chemist Of the mer-
camille exchange of New York city to an
alyze the extracts, and he reported The
finding of nitro-glycerine, as charged.
The company admits that certain ma
terial used in the manufacture of the ex-
tracts was brought from Chicago, but
claims that it was ordered from there at
the direction of DR.. Hammond, and that it
was not frozen.
The Columbia company declares that it
Is absolutely untrue and false that it Is
injuring the reputation of the animal ex-
tracts. but on the contrary ayers that by
the means employed by it to obtain the ex-
tracts free from the Introduction Of nitro
giycerine the reputation of the extracts has
been greatly increased, and persons are
now using the same who refused to use
them heretofore, principally on account of
their belief owing to the reputation of
Hammond as regards unreliability and
falsehood in his statements, that nitro
glycerine was not used in the preparation
of the extracts
1t is further declared by the Columbia
company that no meduline has been sold
for muscClne b. it, except a small num-
Der of bottles sold under the direction of
Manfredi Lanzi, a son-in-law of DR.. Ham
mond when Lanzi was connected with the
company.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. August designation, ut
ter and complete, was the only texture to
the New York stock market today. The
London arbitrage houses had no orders ON
either side of the market. though they re-
ported slight inquiry for Atchson securi-
ties slightly under prevailing prices, and a
desire to sell Erie could 1t be done without
depressing the price. AS the fluctuations in
both these specialties were inflnitesimal
there was no business whatever done for
foreign account. Left to itself. the local
market displayed mastery inactivity. and
was absolutely devoid of feature. except
that 1t betrayed an undertone of strength
that surprises the minor operators, who
seem to control the market.
At this hour e p.m) nearly all stocks are
higher than they were in the last trading
Saturday. Western Union and Missouri Pa
ciic touched the highest prices of the year.
but no reason was assigned. except that
they had been neglected and were due"
If it could be called such, Reading was

five figures. The "early settlement of the
anthracite coal troubles' was the story
circulated that caused the comparative
activity and strength in it.

The last hours trading was marked by
general shading off all around. The con-
firmation Of Messrs. Crossman's gold ship
ment created rather bearish feeling and
some selling and prices at the close are
uniformly lower. and predictions of still
lower prices are freely circulated, though
the small transactions 100000 shares) show
that no important interest is active one
way or the other.
