Involving street-Cnr Trnnsfers.

In the Criminal Court yesterday num-
Der of minor appeal cases were disposed of,
the most important being a case of assault
and battery against H. f. Huesters, con-
ductor in the employ of the street car
company. Albertus Swain, a furniture
dealer was complainant Huesters was
fined in the justice court and the street car
company appealed the case. Mr.. Swain
related that on the night of March 8, last
he was a passenger on a Brightwood car
but desired to transfer to a North Penn
sylVania-street line. He secured a transfer
and says he was told by the conductor to
alight at New York street and Massachu-
sets avenue, instead of coming down to
the junction of the lines at Market and
pennsylvania streets. According to Mr..
Swain statement he did so and caught his
car at Pennsylvania and New York streets
lie rendered his transfer slip, but the con-
ductor refused it, insisting that as the pas
ssenger had not got on the car at the
worthless. Swain declined TO pay the fare
ana the car was stopped. The conductor,
it was shown, laid hands on the passenger
but did not put him off. A young man on
the car who was anxious to get home paid
the required nickel for Swain, who stood
on principle and refused to pay it himself
The case presents fine legal proposition
which Acting Judge Groninger took under
adViSement.
Judge Groninger was somewhat disguised
with the action of a jury which remained
out over Wednesday night in a minor as
sault and battery case and yesterday even
ing this court took occasion to say some
plain words to another jury on this ques-
ton. The jury, which had under consider
alton an appeal case against man for as
sault and battery, went out at o'clock
Wednesday evening and remained in Sc
clusion until 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
The jury assessed a fine of 81 and costs,
but the expense incurred in reaching the
verdict cost the county seventy-two dollars
The court in his remarks to the jury last
night said he could not understand why it
should require nights elaboration in this
kind of a case. He hoped the jury before
him would act more promptly and save the
county an enormous expense

New York. May G.-Hcnry o. Have
meyer. the millionaire sugar king, and
John E. Searles. the venerable Secretary
of the sugar trust, have received a no.
tice from Washington, which practically
is a polite invitation to come and abide
for bit behind the bars III the common
Jail of the District of Columbia. They
received the notice to-day from 1'rOsecut-
ing Attorney Davis, of the District of
Columbia. informing them that they will
have to put in an appearance on May II
and be tried for contempt of the United
States Senate.
These two distinguished millionaires do
not seem to be a bit ruftled over the pros
pect of a sojourn behind the bars. and
all arrangements have been made for
dwelling in luxurious comfort if the
welders of the law determine that they
must go to Jail. They intend to have
their cells furnished in most modern
style. and have arranged to get the cells
upholstered. elegant furniture chosen,
and Geographic connection with the out
side world made Their meals are to
come from the best hotel. But, notwith-
standing this luxury, it will be thirty
days in JAIL all the same. if their cases
are decided as was that of the contuma-
cious witness, Chapman, and Prosecuting
Attorney Davis is confident that such
will be the outcome of the trial.
LIKE THE CHAPMAN CASE.
The case of Havemeyer and Searles is
a parallel one with that of Broken Ell
verton r. Chapman. who was taken be-
fore the United States Senate investi-
eating committee and Intellectually Ques-
toned as to the contributions made to
the Presidential Golfers OF 1892. Have
meyer and Searles refused to answer the
questions put by the committee on the
ground that. although the selection of
President. NicePresident, and United
States Senators and Congressman de-
pended on the results Of that election, it
was, nevertheless. local affair and none
of the business of the United States SEN
ate.
For this refusal Mr.. Havemeyer, Mr..
Searles, Broker Chapman. and Cores
pendent Edwards and Shriver were
charged with contempt of the Senate
Chapman's case was taken as the test
case, and he was sentenced to thirty
days in Jail for refusing to answer GER
tain questions. The case was appealed,
but the United States Supreme court af
frmed the decision of the lower court,
and Chapman went to JAIL
So it is thought that the notice to Have
meyer and Searles is but polite invita-
ton for them to go to Washington and
n hide nv the same result

{ Wilmington Messenger.)

{ Wilmington Messenger.)
The Messenger was the first Democratic
paper to propose to give Governor Rus
sell chance to prove himself worthy
of confidence and Endorsement of the
people. We thought thai he might strive
to lift himself above his surroundings,
overcome his old habit Of bitter and
blind partisanship and hatred of Demo
Gratis, and assert his manhood, his ability,
his State pride in behalf of his native
Carolina. But he could not meet the
demand. The antagonism the narrow
ness, the selfshness, the turbulence, the
unwisdom were inwrought, Unborn, in
nate, ingrained, part Of his being, and
the politician cold not rise to stateman-
ship, and the office-seeker could not fol-
get the possibilities Of more pie even
when eating to satisfy at the home pre-
pared by the people for men chosen as
chief executives. The governor has al
together proved about the deadest of
failures, and that too with abundant
ability, which he has perverted to his
own injury and with loss to the State.
We refer to him now simply to remark
upon the Republican effort to put upon
him all the blame for Democratic vic
tories in municipal elections. Doubtless
Russell deserves censure and must bear
his part Of the blame for reversas in his
party, but the infamous, devilish igno-
rant, corrupt legislature recently adj
journed is to be held responsible for
large share of wrong doing, and if Of
Tended and aroused the decent, hon
est men in all parties. That body was
so stupid, so incapable, so inexperienced,
so reckless, so intensely partisan that
it worked "a diel of eviP' and made re-
cord for itself so that it can never purge
itself Of contempt or with all the waters
of the deep sea ever cleanse it's hands
from pollution. The Republicans and
their Pop contingent sinned against the
people, and the first mutterings of the
! coming storm have been heard. The
people in all their majesty will rise and
rid the land of such ignoramuses and
rancorous and hungry pie-hunters.
''This even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients Of their pois,
oned chalice.
To plague the inventors"
Their betrayal of the people in SO
laundering and gross a way, and their
infatuation, and deafness and blindness
to the public Indignation will add t.
the certainty and completeness Of "the
deep-damnation of their taking off" So
Russell is not the only sinner against
North Carolina, and the guilty Republi.
cans cannot shift the responsibility and
betrayal from their own shoulders tc
} his.
For party to have played such havoc
in two months with their own interests
the welfare Of the State, and theil
chances Of future success is indeed most
marvellous. If they had not "eaten Of
the insane root" they must have faller
under, to use phrase in SCOTS "Old
Mortality" "some Jockey, paukery Of
SAtan'e."
