THE CASE DISMISSED.
Tailor PneginE's Suit for Damag
Against Mrs. Blackburn.

Against Mrs. Blackburn.
After an absence of but ten minutes
the jury in the case of John Pfieging
against Mrs. Julia c. Blackburn, widow of
ex-Gov. Blackburn of Kentucky, returned
a verdict today in her favor.
AS stated in yesterdays Star, the plaint-
fff, dressmaker, sued Mrs. Blackburn for
s., 900 damages because of an alleged ma
licious prosecution. In the spring of 1898
he made three dresses, one each for Mrs.
Blackburn, Mrs. Zane and Miss Madeline
Pollard Mrs. Blackburn promptly paid
for hers, but Mr.. Pfeging, to secure the
payment from Mrs. Zane and Miss Pol
lard, subsequently secured possession of
Mrs. Blackburn's garment, under the pre-
tense of altering it, holding it until, upon
the advice of her then counsel, now Mr..
Justice Morris of the Court of Appeals,
she had him arrested on charge of false
pretences. The charge was subsequently
dismissed as the result of a consultation
in the room of Judge Miller at the Police
Court, Mrs. Zane. at the suggestion of
Serator Blackburn Of Kentucky, giving a
check in payment for her dress and that
of Miss Pollard, the latter stating that
she then had no funds.
Among the witnesses for the defendant
today were Senator Blackburn and Mr..
Justice Morris.

Lord Rosebery's Associates Hastily
Summoned for Conference.
RUMORED DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT
Comment on the Governments
Narrow Escape.
A MAJORITY OF ONLY EIGHT

LONDON, February 19.-There is much
gossip in political circles today owing to
the fact that Lord Rosebery, the prime
minister, upon his arrival at the official
residence this forenoon, hastily summoned
a meeting of the cabinet. The measures
taken to summon the ministers were rath-
er extraordinary. Messengers were dis
patched in cabs to the offices or residences
of the different ministers, and ali came to
the meeting, which lasted fully an hour.
The precarious condition of the party, as
shown by the recent narrow majoriies on
various questions in the house of commons,
and the fact that Lord Rosebery had q
long conference at Buckingham Palace yes
terday afternoon with the queen soon after
her arrival from the Isle of Wight, and
held a long conference with the whips Of
the liberal party today, ali serve to in
crease rumors that dissolution Of parlia-
ment is imminent.
For several minutes last evening, when
the vote was being taken in the house Of
commons on Sir William Harcourt's mo-
ton to close the debate the address in
reply to the queens speech, it was conf
IDENTIFY believed by the members of the op-
position that it would be found that the
government was defeated when the vote
was announced
In the crowded lobbies of the house it
was impossible to ascertain how the voting
was going, but when the division was near
ly over whisper was circulated that the
government was defeated. The loudness of
the cheers with which the liberals greeted
the announcement of the figures showed
the extent of their anxiety, which was ep.
parently well justified, as the vote was 279
to 211, giving them but eight majority.
