Mrs. Dunlap's Troubles.

When Louisa Dunlap was married in
Warrenton, Va, three months ago, was
delighted at the idea of coming to Wash
ington to live.
In anticipation of a pleasant honeymoon
she left her Virginia home to come where
she would be a comfort TO her husband. and
where she would make new circle OF
friends.
SO told Judge Miller today. During their
honeymoon she said her husband had
closed his teeth on her fingers, and had
not only inflicted other physical injuries,
but had also hurt her feelings. Last Sun
day night she got arrested at the Rev.
Lees Fifth Baptist Church, where she
went after her husband.
She had a pistol minus the cylinder and
bullets, and the charge against her was
concealed weapons. After hearing her
statement the court released her on her
personal bonds.

The Cox Divorce Case.

Messrs Hamilton and Colbert. attorneys
for Frank H. Cox, who was sued for d.
vorce several days ago by Florence Cox.
have filed a motion in the case asking the
court to expunge from the record certain
Allegations contained in Mrs. Cox's petit
ton. Mrs. Cox charged her husband with
committing adultery with one Carrie Her
bert and others. But the husband. while
not admitting the charges, says that his
wife's petition shows that she returned to
him the 1st of last June. when she express
ly condoned any and all Of the alleged
acts of infidelity. and her petition. he
states, does not allege any subsequent vio-
Iation of his marital obligations. There
fore, he says that her allegations of his in
fidelity are scandalous and impertinent,
and should be expunged from the record. .
This motion and that of Mrs. Cox for all
mony and counsel fees will probably be
heard tomorrow.

NEW YORK. October 15.-The securities
sold yesterday in anticipation of an ad-
vance in the Bank of Englands rate of dis
count were repurchased this morning on
the publication of the decision to continue
the prevailing rate. The strength of the
market during the opening hour was large
ly due to buying of this description. The
foreign market was about on a parity with
our closing level. but no significant new
buying was reported for that account.
Arbitrage houses sold Union Pacific, but
all offerings were absorbed by the interests
heretofore active in this property. The cou-
pons on the gold bonds OF the company, on
which default was made last June. were
today bought in London at prevailing rates

Politics are responsible for the narrow

any reasonable doubt as to the forthcom-

A per cent advance In the price OF

thousands, while there Is a noticeable
change in the ranks of the German voters
during the past two weeks. and the prob
abilities are that Mr.. Bryan will receive
a very large proportion OF that vote. The
republican managers are trying to divert
attention from Illinois. Indiana. Ohio and
Michigan, where their case is hopeless, to
states like. Nebraska and Kansas. which
they row claim are In doubt and turning
to Mckinley. "a. Reports received at ma
tionaI democratic headquarters show that
these claims are entirely without founda-
ton, and are only manufactured for the
purpose Of attracting the attention OF the
free silver leaders to these states. As
matter of fact the democrats and free sill
yer polls show that both Kansas and Ne
braska will give Bryan majorities of not
less than $1,000 in the latter and 10000 in
the former.
Chairman Jones and the national demo-
cratic managers feel greatly encouraged
over the outlook. and confidently assert
that Bryan will be elected by an over
Mhelrnins majority of the electoral vote in
November
Reports from the Akron congressional
district in Ohio are all one sided. The COM
mitIee chairman at Akron writes:
The republicans have quit talking about
carrying Ohio by 100000. Over a month
ago I concluded that Bryan would carry
this state, and conditions have improved
every day since that time. We cannot be
beaten in this state by republican wind,
bulldoZing and Doodle, and they have no
other stock in trade. A man by the name
Of Alexander spoke here a few days ago
and told the people that English warships
would level down our seaboard towns If we
Adopt free coinage Such arguments have
weight with towards only. We have no
towards in this state, and If the republic
cans expect to aid their cause they must
produce arguments which will appeal to
patriots They have exhausted their re-
sources in this attempt to stem the silver
tide IN this state, district and county, and
yet We continue to gain votes at the rate
or one every minute. sixty every hour
LILO every day The state Is ours today
by safe plurality. In the next twenty
five days we will have gained $4,000 more
promise you that will do it,
Similar reports come from the tenth dis

Vass there writes from Wellston, Ohio:
L never saw such turnOuts of people at
GaiIa school house with only rural sec
ton to draw from. 1 had 30 men at my
meeting Saturday night-two-thirds of the
voters of the township were there. Last

1t will double il this year I think Gallia
county will give Bryan two votes where 1t
gave Campbell one. 1 have been making

honestly We will get more votes In the

Bryan is going to carry Ohio. No doubt Of

ration Parade Next
March.

This afternoon at the Central, Eastern
and Western schools the regimental and
company officers were appointed for the
ensuing year. The Eastern School was
greatly disappointed in not having the lieu
tenant colonel. 1t was thought that The
major Of the I'd Battalion would be ap-
pointed from the Western on account Of the
return of Capt. Berry, who was only in
the third year last term, and that the East
ern School would be given the lieutenant
colonel to make up for the loss of the ma
jor. but Capt. Berry did not enlist, thus
making no change in the appointment of
the regimental officers.
The business officers were appointed last
week. and after today the life Of the High
School Regiment of '&6-97 begins. The
cadets well be given better chance to dis
play themselves this year. it is down on
the program for them to parade on The 4th
of March, which fact has been the cause of
great many boys enlisting. as that OPP
portunity comes only once in four years.

A Striking Argument.

This afternoon, in the K street market.
there was a gold and silver combat. I'm
which Frank Augusterfey and Howard b.
Tubbs figured. 1t appears that an article
in a New York paper favoring Mckinley
was read. and it seemed to displease Angus
terfer who is a pork butcher. Tubbs. who
is a fruit dealer was blamed for causing
Augusterfer to let his temper get the better
of him. .-.4r
When Tubbs appeared in the Police Court
this afternoon to tell how the silver max
won in the first round he said he Stin
felt the effects of Augusterfer's blow on
his face. This caused him to get war
rant for alleged assault, and he thinks
the gold cause will win in the last round.
