PHILADELPHIA SENSATION.
Before Councils Committed
discriminating Leading Men.

The special committee of Philadelphia
councils appointed to investigate the
charges of bribery in connection with the
passage of the mutual automatic tele-
phone ordinance last July met yesterday
afternoon and examined a number of wit
resses.
james J. Breen, who made the charges,
testified that Secretary Stackhouse of the
telephone company had told him that Sem
ator Charles A. Porter and David Martin
had received stock valued at $4,000 each
for the passage of the ordinance, and that
the aggregate value of the stock given out
to get the bill through was $3.50,
This was the most startling bit of testi-
mony adduced at the hearing, and 1t Gre
ated a profound sensation. 1t was also
shown that while other telephone COM
panies were obliged to wait more than a
ordinance had been legtslated through in
a month.
Another interesting feature of yester-
days hearing was the effort of Mr.. Etting
counsel for the Municipal League, and him
self a councilman, to secure the presence
of the administrator of a deceased coun-
Gilman, in whose estate a certificate of
stock of the company was said to have
been found. The administrator who is a
that he would not appear unless subpoe-
naed. and Mr.. Etting asked that this be
done. a lively discussion ensued and the
motion defeated, seven councilmen
voting against it and five in its favor, the
former stating that his presence would be
satisfactory at the next meeting. The
hearing will be resumed today.

upon his southern birth, the length of his
ancestry and of his social success. For

Francisco in the fall of 1852. Western life
did not satisfy him. and after practcing
law while with Hall McAllister, his
brother, he came east and married Miss

position. Then he settled at Newport, and

phrase. the 400" referring to New York

rose at o'clock, breakfasted at 9:45 and
then went riding or walking at II, looking
after business affairs from II 80 to 1, took
lunch at 80 sharp and dined at Z.
His favorite amuSements were whist,

opera or public amusements of any de-
scription, although he sometimes attended
the opera. He was five feet nine and one
half inches tall.

Young Men Charged With Robbing
the ArmOry.
During the past few weeks series Of
thefts have been committed in the Ward
building, on Sd street northwest between
d and E streets. where are the headquar-
tiers of light battery A and the ambulance
coIps of the District of Columbia National
Guard. Lockers in the building have been
broken, and twice the quartermaster's
room was entered. Several overcoats a
pair of boots and six pistols disappeared.
The thefts were reported to the police and
Dete Carter and Gallaher were as
signed to make the investigation. In this
work they were assisted by Lieut.. Griffith,
Sergt Biondi and Lieut.. King. Three of
the pistols We're recovered in secondhand
stores, where they had been disposed of,
and a rubber coat was also recovered.
Three nights ago 10y named Frank Eek
loft was found in the building and arrested.
He had slept in the building several nights,
he said, although he does not belong to
any OF the companies. Several of his ac-
qua;EtanceS are members, and he soon told
the officers Of what had been going on.
The theftS had all been committed in the
daytime, and the officers learned that a
number Of the young men had been spend
ing their time in the sitting room playing
cards, reading and smoking. The investi-
cation resulted in the arrest of three young
men, Chauncey DaInming, William Ryan
and Eugene Tegethoff, on a charge Of the
larceny of 4 rubber coat and pair of boots
They were not identified by the dealers as
being the parties who sold the pistols.
The young men under arrest protest their
innocence, and say they will be exonerated
when their cases are heard.
Jury trials have been demanded, and the
cases will be tried next week.

WINTER RACING TO GO ON.
The Scene VIII BE Shifted to the
Arlington Track Near Baltimore.

That the encouragement and promotion
of the breeding of the thoroughbred horse
may not be suspended for more than few
days. 1t is given out that George H. Enge-
man will, on February 6, inaugurate So
called racing at the Arlington half-mile
track, near Baltimore. Maj. Wheeler will
be presiding judge, Steve Stilwell secretary
and William French starter. The meeting
will continue twenty days, and five races
will be given each day unless the Mary
land authorities conclude before that to
stop it, The racers will mostly come from
the Alexander Island track.
Racing at the Alexander Island track
ceased yesterday after a continuous meet
ing of more than eight months, to be re-
sumed next month, when, 1t is said, racing
will be continued indefinitely. The crowd
yesterday was one of the largest for some
time, and, contrary to general eXpecta-
tions, but two outsiders won, the other
events going to favorites and a second
choice. In the first race, as the horses
were going to the post, the judges noticed
that Strngfellow had been given the in
lection, and all betting up to that poLt
was declared off, and the trainer, OShan-
non, and Dorsey, the jockey, were ruled eff.
Owner King was shown to have no con-
nc elton With the affair The race was then
run, and the old cripple, Civil Service,
easily won, at to ). In the next race
Walcott was so well satisfied with the
odds, 3 to 1, that he concluded to win. The
next events were taken by Quilla and
Sy de, long shots, at 20 and 10 to 1, re-
spectively, the last race going to BoDolink,
the to 1 favorite.

Fish Coming In.

Business about the oyster wharf has
picked up considerably during the past few
days, because Of the arrival of SO many
pungies and sloops from the lower Poto-
mac. There Is still plenty of floating ice
in the lower river, but the dredgers are ct
work ard the shipments are on the in
crease. Yesterday nine boats, bringing
about 5000 bushels of the bivalves, arrived
at the river front. The oysters are in good
condition, considering the weather, and are
selling at from 40 cents to 81 bushel.
At the adjoining wharf, where fish are
landed and sold, business is at a standstill
Potomac fish are scarce, the result Of cold
water and so much ice in the river, and the
few shipments that are being made come
by the river steamers. A few herring have
arrived, but no shad. These fish, however,
arc coming from North Carolina by rail,
and are plentiful in the market. Shad are
selling at 30 cents and 81 each. A few
rock-fish and white perch have been caught
in the vicinity Of Potomac creek in gill
nets,

poets for This Year.

cover one hundred players Of the Nation
al League have stepped up to the captains
office and signed contracts for the season
of 1885," said President N. E. Young yes
terday to the Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Press. when questioned
as to the outlook for base ball this year
There are only two clubs out of the
twelve in the league which have been back
ward about signing players thus far-Bal-
timore and Cleveland. There is no particu-
lar significance attached to this fact SO far
as Baltimore Is concerned, because the
champions are in the league to stay. Man.
ager Hanlon was here few days ago and
expressed no anxiety about his men,.
Regarding the Washingtons he said: so
far as Capt. JCyces Senators are concern
ed, the best men, with the exception OF
Pitcher Mercer, have been signed and Or
dered to report for duty at Washington for
the limbering-up southern tour. A very
encouraging feature for the coming season
is the large number of young and prom
ising players already signed by the minor
clubs. There will be nearly twice the num-
Der of organizations doing business under
the national agreement this year than there
were last and the outlook was never more
encouraging for the national pastime.
Many of the other outdoor sports, such as
horse racing and boxing, have suffered
from public opinion. but base ball stands
out as prominently as ever and instead of
the interest in the game diminishing 1t Is
becoming more and more popular as the
wears roll around
