EIGHT APPLES IHE CAUSE,
Ex-Army Officer Punches the Gro
ceryman's Eace and Was Fined.

An eN-Army officer, a green grocer
and eight green apples took up just an
hour of Judge Mllcr's time in the police
court yesterday afternoon.
Capt. Frank c. Jones used to be an orna-
ment to Uncle Sans service. He is now
in the Pension Office. His green grocer,
r. E. Miles, has a little shop at Third
and A streets northeast, and between the
two there has bred a fcud for several
months past over an extra charge for
ham or snme other equally important
matter
Two Sundays ago Capt. Jones decided
that he would have pork and apple sauce
for dinner and sent his small colored girl
to the grocery store to get ten cents worth
of each. He did not think that he got his
moneys worth in apples, and, carry
ing his market basket back to the grocery
store, called the proprietor a liar and
a highwaymau and ended up by punching
the grocerymans nose which, the gallant
captain incidentally testified, felt soft and
yielding when h e hit it,
Yesterday Groccryman Miles had his
assailant tried for battery, and after an
hour of argument and testimony, in which,
as Judge Miller remarked, the court was
informed of everything disconnected with
the case. from the number of apples In a
barrel to the price of watermelons last
August, the jury found a verdict OF guilty
against the puenaciaus captain, and the
court imposed fine of $40 for assault.

Railway Company, held by the board 10
have violated the regulations with respect
to the replacing and repair Of a number Of
trolley poles on Kenyon street.
Complaint was made TO the Commits
sioners of the condition of some of the poles
on that line, and notice was sent to the
company, in which the officials Were
informed that if it became necessary to
substitute new ones for any reported as
unsafe, permit would be granted for
the placing of iron poles instead of wood.
This was sufficient notice of the III
tention Of the beard to permit no more

deemed sufficient in cases, and, il is uE-
derstood. proceeded without a permit
TO substitute other wooden poles for those
which they found il necessary to remove

BROTHER SAYS HE'S INSANE
Jury Begins an ILquiry Into Calvin
Winners Mental Condition.
Defendant Is wealthy and Couasel
Claim Fiat HIS Property
Causes the Charge.

= An Interesting lunacy case occupied the
attention OF jury of commission yester-
day at the City Hall.
Calvin Witmer, of 1918 Pennsylvania
avenue, is the subject under inquiry. He
has been a resident of Washington for the
last twenty years, and is reputed TO bc
worth $780, 900.
The petitioner against Mr.. Witmer is his
brother, Milton Wilmer, of Hagerstown,
Md. The latter has been ON visit 10
his brother in this city for the past month,
during which time he declares he has be
come OF the opinion that his brother is
insane.
1t is another case Of alleged scheming
and intriguing. The defendant was repre-
sented by Col. Edward Hay, and Judge
Jere Wilson represented the petitioner. 1t
is alleged that since an illness last spring
Mr. Wilmer has been unable TO properly
look after his business, and it is liable 10
become lost and depreciatc in value. He
is largely interested in several real estate
transactions, and owns real estate valued
at about $50 900.
Tuesday Mr.. Milton Wilmer filed pc
tition charging his brother with being Of
unsoupd mind. A writ of inquiry was or
dered issued and was beard yesterday by
the Jury OF lunacy. Yesterday the brother
filed another petition, asking the court to
restrain the Metropolitan Bank from pay
ing any money out on his brothers order
because it might be used improperly.
The Jury listened to evidence until
O'Clock last evening, and then adjourned
until next Monday, when the case will
again come up for hearing. The facts
leading up to the present inquiry, as
told by counsel for Mr.. Calvin Wilmer. are
that he was i'll last May with nervous
lprostration.. He then made over to his
wife two pieces of property, with total
value Of $4,000 in trust that he might
enjoy the profits during his lifetime, and
at his death it was to go to her. He also
gave a deed OF Il certain piece of property
| valued at 4,5O0 to Mrs. Rose II. Wilmer,
his daughter-in-law, whose husband died
quite recently.
1t was alleged that the Hagerstown
| brother expected, because of the death OF
the son, to ultimately come in possession
| of the property OF the Washington man,
and Is now seeking to have his brother ad-
| Judged insane so as to prevent any further
copyeyancing of his property. 1t would
then possibly go to the heirs OF Milton
Wilmer.
Both men are we'll advanced in years.
| The testimony yesterday included state
ments from Doctors Southron, Pardon and
Darling to the effect that Mr.. Wilmer was
not insane. George j. johnson testified
| to many business transactions which he
characterized as absolutely correct, and
r. L. Wheeler, who has known Mr.. Wilmer
| for twenty-three years, gave similar testi-
| mony.

ELECTION By THE HOUSE.

Because there arc likely to be more
than the usual number OF candidates for
President Of the United States at the
coming November election. public atten-
ton has already been called to the fact
that in certain contingencies the election
Of President may be made by the House
Of Representatives. But, although this
is an interesting fact. the contingency is
rot likely TO happen.
The Federal Constitution provides as
follows:
''The electors shall meet I'm their respect
i've States and vote by ballot for Presi-
dent and Vice-President one Of whom at
least shall not be an inhabtant OF the
same State with themselves
So that no one State can elect both
Of these high officers. The Constitution
proceeds:
"They shall name In their ballot
the person voted for as President. and
I'm distinct ballots the person voted for
as Nice-President, and they shall make
distinct lists OF all persons voted for as
President and of all persons voted for
as Vice-President, and the number of
votes for each. which they shall sign and
certify. and transmit sealed, to the seat
Of government Of the United States, di-
rected TO the President of the Senate.
The President Of the Senate shall, IN the
presence Of the Senate and House OF Rep
resentatives, open all the certificates, and
the votes shall then be counted"
In 1877 the country was almost convulscd
by the excitement growing out ,of the
disputed presidential election Of 1876. One
of the questions I'm dispute was as to
whether the President of the Senate Lad
the right TO count the vote for President
Senator Conkling agreed with the Demos
Gratis that he had no such right. Mr.
Conkling said that the Constitution went
with the President of the Senate till it
got TO the words, "the votes shall then
be counted" wnen 1t turned It's back upon
him. Read above, and see how striking
was Mr.. Conkling's illustration.
We quote again:
1.-The person having the greatest number
of votes for President shall be the Presi-
dent, If such number be a majority Of the
whole number Of electors appointed; and
If no person have such majority, then
from the persons having the highest num-
bers, not exceeding three, on the list of
those voted for as President of the House
Of Representatives, shall choose imre-
diately by ballot the President. But in
choosing the President the vote shall be
taken by States. the representative for
each State having one vote. 4 quorum
for this purpose shall consist of a mem
Der or members from two thirds of the
States, and a majority Of all the States
shall be necessary to a choice. And II
the House Of Representatives shall not
ghnnga the President NtfhppgWpp tho riUbt
of choice shall deyolve upon them before
the 9Th day Of March next following, thcn
the Vice-President shall act as President,
as in the case of death or other constitu-
tional disability of the President"
1t viii be seen that the Federal Con-
stitution makes ample provision for Sc
curing a President. And the persons who
are counting already upon the election
of the President by the House Of Repre-
sentatives will be disappointed.
