So long a period has elapsed since the work
of transforming the old Castle Garden Building,
which IS one of the landmarks Of NewYOrk, into
an aquarium that the project OF endowing our
city with an institution Of this kind has almost
been forgotten by the public. 1t would appear,
however from an article upon the subject which
we publish today that the aquarium is at length
approaching completion, and that there is every
reason 10 hope that by Christmas time it Will
have become of the most popular features
of entertainment and instruction in New-YOrk.
Sensitive even in the days OF our greatest pros
perity, popular confidence in the banks and
financial institutions is exceptionally so at the
present moment, when the vagaries and wild
rawlings Of Mr.. Bryan and Of his Democratic
friends have done much to unsettle the public
mind. Had il not been for this abnormal con-
dlton Of affairs. which will terminate with the
election Of Major Mckinley few weeks hence,
the doors of the National Bank Of Troy. which
were shut yesterday, might still be open For
the run which resulted in their close seems to
have been brought about solely by the fact that
a prominent citizen fell dead at the door, dense
crowd Immediately gathering about the entrance.
Jnasmuch as it is announced that the deposi-
tors will be paid in full. and the stockholders
receive al least 80 cents Oh the dollar, there
seems TO have been no valid cause whatsoever
for the run that did the mischief. save unrea-
sOning panic.
Truant schools constituting a logical and in
dspensable link in our system Of compulsory
education 1t is satisfactory TO learn from an artl-
Gle published elsewhere in our columns today
that the Board Of Education has at length with
drawn It's opposition to the organization OF estaD-
Ishments Of this character and has applied for
an appropriation for the purpose. Until now the
Board has been in the habit Of securing the
magisterial commitment Of truants to criminal
institutions such as, for instance. the Juvenile
Asylum. This is not only contrary to common

CHARGED WITH BURGLARY.
Two RObbcries of Considerable Mug
nitude Eerreted Out.

nitude Ferreted Out.
By diligent effort the police maintained
secrecy regarding a burglary early yester-
day morning at the residence of Mrs. In
diana Vedder, widow of Paymaster Mich
olas Vedder U. s. A, I'LL Massachu-
sets avenue, and only made known the
fact of the occurrence last night, after
three men had been placed under arrest
charged with the offense.
The occupants of the house at the time
of the burglary were Mrs. Vedder and a
servant girl. Nothing was known of the
visit of the maIauders until the servant
arose in the morning. On descending the
stairs, things were found to be in a very
disordered state Mrs. Vedder was inform
examination disclosed that number of
books and a quantity of silver ware had
been stolen.
Mrs. Vedder sent for her son-in-law, Mr..
Robert I. Fleming, who learned that en-
trance had been effected by cutting the Stats
of the blinds of a rear window.
Policemen Hooper ard Tompkins late last
night arrested colored man as he was
attempting to force an entrance into the
re sidence Of Mr.. Emery Smith, 91S Massa-
chusetts avenue northwest. The prisoner
proved to be Edward Nailor, who has a
criminal record, and who was released from
the work house but few days ago. He is
thought to be the Vedder burglar.
Frederick Brown and John H. Johnson,
cclored, were also arrested and held on sus-
p:cion of having been concerned in the
crime.
Nalor was sent to the Albany penitentiary
| in 1892 for houSebreaking, and served a
term of two years. AT the time Of his ar
rest last night he was wanted for larceny.

THE CASE OF MAJ. ARMIES
Government - love for the Execution of
the Mandate
VIII Not Ask for HIS Arrest By the
Marshal-The Case May BE
Allowed to Drop.

Mr.. ]. N. Morrison of the Judge advocate
generals Office, counsel for Col. Henry W.
Closson. commandant at the Washington
barracks. has notified the counsel for Maj.
Geo. A. Armes that next Wednesday he will
make motion before Judge Bradley Of the
District Supreme Court for the execution
of the mandate of the Court of Appeals In
the case of Maj. Armes. In his motion he
will recite briefly the decision OF the Court
OF Appeals reversing the decision OF Judge
Bradley granting the application for writ
of habeas corpus for the discharge OF Maj.
Armes from the custody of Col Closson.
The decision of the Court Of Appeals was
accompanied with directions to Judge Brad
leys court to vacate the order discharging
Maj Armes. Ito issue its warrant to the
marshal of the District for the re-arrest of
the said George A. Armes, to discharge the
writ of habeas corpus and to remand the
said George A. Armes to the custody Of ap-
pellant Henry W. Closson."
What He VIII Waive.
In submitting this mandate of the court
to Judge Bradley, Mr.. Morrison will an
nounce his purpose Of waving all that por-
ton of the directions contained in the same
to the effect that the lower court issue Its
warrant to the marshal of the District for
the arrest of Major Armes. In other
words. he will not ask that there be any
actual return by the court or its officers
OF the body of Major Armes to the actual
custody of Col Closson. He merely prays
judgment of the court in compliance with
the rest of the mandate of the higher
court, viz, judgment reversing the final
Judgment Of Judge Bradley's court, vacat-
ing the order of that court dischargine
Armes, d!scharging the writ of habeas
corpus in that case, and that Col. Clossor
have the custody of Armes.
The explanation of this action Of the gov
ernment.s attorney in this case is that the
military authorities are not Inclined to pro-
teed further against Major Armes unless
his future course of conduct shall render
such step necessary. the officers of the
law department of the army regard the
action Of the Court of Appeals a COM
plete vindication of the course Of action
taken by the military authorities in the
premises. That decision sustained their
contention that an officer on the retired list
is subject to military discipline for all In
fractions Of the articles of war and the
regulations Of the army Just the same as
an officer on the active list Secretary La
mont is said to take very little interest In
the case Of Major Armes and will probably
allow it to drop altogether unless it as
sumes new and more serious aspect than
at present.

LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Deadlock in the Kentucky Lsgisla-
ture Continues.
NO ELECTION this SESSION LIKELY
Positive Stand Taken by Both
Sides.
A COMPROMISE IMPOSSIBLE

FRANKFORT. KY, January 25.-The
Kentucky legislature is still deadlocked,
and though four ballots have been taken
no election has been possible. 1t now ap-
pears that there will be no election this
session.
The leaders of w. Godfrey Hunter say
that no other republican can win, and the
friends of Senator ]. C. s. Blackburn swear
that he is the only democrat whose name
will be considered.
The two populists in the general assem-
bly, are split, one voting with the repub-
hcans and one with the democrats Other
wise the two houses are a tie on joint
ballot.
Governor Bradley has set at rest the ru-
nors as to his position in the senatorial
race Last night he held two hours con-
ference with w. G.. Hunter and today an
nounces that he is for Hunter and says he
thinks Hunter will win. 1t has been said
he was fighting Hunter.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Have the Power.

The Commissioners have learned from
their attorney, Mr.. S. T. Thomas, that
they have the right to make separate regu-
lationS governing the running of different
street car lines.
President Phillips of the Metropolitan
railroad has long commended that the Com
missioners had the right under the power
granted them to make police regulations
to make regulations covering a specific
case. In other words. that they had the
authority to make separate regulations for
the several street car lines using different
motive power. His contention was based
upon an endeavor to have the regula tons
so amended as to permit of electric cars
running at greater rates of speed than
those which governed the general subject
of speed for street cars.
1t would be an easy matter to make a
regulation for electric cars and one for
cable cars. The Commissioners at the time
did not think they had the power and did
not consider 1t wise to treat one road diff
ierentiy from another. President Phillips,
by way OF argument referred to the DELAYS
experienced along the line of an electric
road, and said when such delays occurred.
IL the Commissioners would permit it, the
speed could be increased until the cars
were brought up to their regular schedule
time. Upon his earnest suggestion. the
matter was referred to the attorney for the
District and ne has reported as stated
ABOVE, That the COMMISSIONS have the
necessary power to make a separate regu-
latlon governing the running of electric
cars.

CHARGE DISMISSED.
Judge Miller's Action Regarding DIR.
Czarra's Case.

Hearing of the charges of perjury against
Dr. Sigmund A. Cara, brought by Miss
Mary Jane Casey, was continued this af-
ternoon before Judge Miller in the Police
Court. The alleged perjury, as heretofore
published in The Star, was committed in a
suit to recover sum of money paid by
Miss Casey to DIR. Cara for professional
services. and tried before Justice of the
Peace L. c. Strider.
Attorney c. Maurice Smith, who appears
for DR.. Czarra, called Mr.. William F. Mey-
ers, who produced the contract signed by
Miss Casey. and explained that it had been
placed in evidence at the hearing before
the justice. Witness, as an attorney, had
advised the defendant that he was not re-
spoasible for money paid to his wife.
Dr. Cara was also called. He spoke very
indistinct English but made himself un-
derstood. He had TO connection with the
iying-in hospital that Miss Casey entered,
he said, as his wife conducts the establish
ment without his assistance.
"These he spitals are common to all large
cities, are they not?" asked Attorney
Smith. ''Tney are places where young wo-
men who have been ind!screet go for treat
ment?"
Not only those who have been indiscreet,
but the most respectable married women
as ELL answered the doctor.
DR.. Cara denied that he received any
money at any time from Miss Casey.
Jennie Kronheimer, a young woman who
is employed at the lying-n asylum as a
nurse, de ;crlbed the condition of things
there. and also related the facts Of the
visit of Miss Casey to the hospital No
money was paid by the latter to the doc
tor, So far as she knew.
A cOlored man named Hall gave similar
testimony and then Miss Casey was called
