TOM WATSON RESURRECTED,
The House Elections Committee Digs
Up His Contest.

It is the purpose OF House Elections Com
mittee No. / TO make haste slowly, as
member expressed it yesterday, in their
consideration OF the contest brought by
Mr.. Thomas E. Watson, the late PopUlist
candidate for the Vice Presidency, against
the seat now held by Mr.. Black, from the
Tenth Georgia district. For one hour and
a half yesterday the committee discussed
the various features ofthe case.
This discussion, which was purely in
formal, and which grew out of the evidence
submitted by the representatives Of both
gentlemen a few weeks ago, developed two
important circumstances; first, that in
the city OF Augusta the election was tainted
to more orless degree by fraud, and. sec
ondly, that MI Black was not only not
party to these frauds, but that so far as his
influence extended, IL was exerted in the
interest OF a fair election.
The frankness with which Mr. Blacks at
torneys agreed that negroes had been
bribed to vote for the Democratic candi-
date formed the basis of much discC ssion,
although it was generally agreed that no
little of the evidence is incomplete and i'm
material, and some ofthe Republican men,
bers went so far as to insert that il was in
jected into the case largely by the contest
ant for the purpose OF befogging the COM
mittee. The principal consideration is
the extent of the frauds in Richmond coun-
ty and their effect upon the election.

LEFT THE CITY IN A HURRY
Two Migrants Eagerly Grasped
at a Chance for Liberty.
In AGGRAVATED ASSAULT
The Court Declared That Aged Mr..
Nicholson Had No Right to Attack
Joseph Darneille With a Board.
Some Interesting Phases OF Crimi-
nal Life Shown in Police Court.

Jerome T. Daley, Frank Adams, Henry
Hall, William Anderson, Neal Mcclure
and william Webb were before Judge
Kimban this morning ON the old, fungus
ornamented charge OF Vagrancy. Adams
and Han testified that they were employed
on sundry steamships as coal-passers. The
men put up pair of onestlooking coun-
tenances, and told a straightforward story
tn at VOL belief.
William Webb said that he was not yet
free from the honest perspiration caused
by his latest piece of work. The court
looked steadily at the incumbent Ofthe dock
and said:
"How many times have you been in the
worIhouse this winter"
mo times,' and william bent low his
snowy head in approval OF his reply.
'william," said his honor, ''you have
been there once or twice, have you not?'
well, ! might a-been."
"Step back
"You other two,' indicating Adams and
Hall. IF will let you go on your per
sonal bonds viii you leave town at once?'
The two men declared with enthusiastic
speech that they would stampede for Balti-
more with all the ardor OF herd of buf-
faloes in quest of a salt lick; nor would
they pause in their flight until the Monu-
mental City encompassed them around
about.
The personal bonds Of Adams and Hall
were taken. Webb was sent down for ninety
days and the others were given thirty days.
Joseph Darneille a well dressed young
man, with his hands encased in a pair OF
brown kid gloves, was arraigned in Judge
Miller's police court this morning, charged
with assa ulting William Nicholson, a clerk
in an oyster house on Thirty second street,
Georgetown. Damelle is an electrician,
employed by the Potomac Electric Lighting
Company, andlast evening lie wentin the
oyster house over which Nicholson presides
TO warm himself at the stove.
Nicholson testified that Darneille used
profane language, and was ordered out OF
the place, but declined 10 go. Nicholson,
who is about fifty-five years OF age, then
picked up a piece OF board six feet in
length, to enforce his command, when, tie
alleged, Darneine leaped at him, Knocked
linn down and kicked him.
In his own defense the electrician denied
that he struck or kicked the old man.

THE GARBAGE CREMATORY
1t New DispOses of Fifty Tons of the
City'S Waste in a Day.
The Contractor Says That the Pres
ent Capacity of the Plant Can
Be Doubled.

The Smith crematory, on square 63, is
consuming the District garbage at the
rate OF fifty tons per day. The shells are
not all quite completed, a few OF the Ie-
tails being unfinished, but the plant is in
operation, with reasonable prospect OF
being able TO meet all requirements.
The order OF the Commissioners requiring
the dumpage of the city refuse from streets,
school premises and other localities, to be
deposited on Upper Water street, fronting
the crcmatory premises, was sufficient to
bring that thoroughfare up to the proper
grade inside OF two days, and then the
contractor commenced deliveries OF garb-
age on the ground
It is possible, Mr. Warffeld stated
today, to double the present capacity of
the plant, which would increase the con-
sumption TO 200 tons in twenty-iour hours.
This, he says, is about 20 tons in excess
OF the heaviest recorded collection for
any one day, and indicates that the Smith
plant, if enlarged, is capable OF taking
care of the entire collection of waste, at
least for several years.
The contractor uses gas as fuel 1t is his
belief that, generated in his own plant from
coal, the method is much more economical
than to employ any other kind of fuel.
There is much less ash as a product, and
what there is cannot be used rs a fertilizer.
1t is dumped as worthless. 1t is Mr.. War
fields intention TO have the Brown FUR
mace removed from bis pound on South
Capitol street, unless the owners come 20
some agreement for its restoration ID The
service. He prefers to have two Cremato-
ries, for the saving it would cause in the
length of haul; but he says he has made
what he regards as two fair propositions,
neither of which has been accepted, and as
he has bond from the Brown Company, IN
which the managers are obliged TO remove
it in certain contingency, the contractor
feels justified in making the demand for it's
fulfillment

Her Hu usba nd Intends to Sue Her for
Divorce, But She Declares She
VIII Win the Case

Mr.. John A Marconnier, an engineer en-
ployed at Judd & Detweiler's, Yesterday
evening published a notice to the effect
that he would no longer pay bills con-
traeted by his wife, Mrs Susie B. Maroon
Dier. The couple reside in Georgetown at
No 1913 Thirty-second street. They have
lived in that neighborhood for about eigh-
teen years, which is the extent Of their
married life.
The wife was seen by Times reporter
this morning. She is a handsome woman
of middle age, and smiled as though little
concerned about the trouble. She says it
is the result of quarrel she has had among
some neighbOrs. She advised one woman
not to 20 to certain drinking cafe The
woman asked who said she was there. Mrs
Marconnier told her, and thus Sfle women
OF the neighborhOOd were set by the ears,
and have threatened to separate these two
who have a coy, pleasant home, but no
children. She said the misunderstanding ap-
pears to have been effectuaI in poisoning
the husbands mind, but instead OF leaving
the home he is trying to make the wife
leave, and says she can take nothing with
her. Her credit is good in the neighbor-
hood, and she has held the fort for some
two weeks, buying the necessary food for
the table and preparing it for him and her
self. He has thus far eaten what she pre-
pared.
Mr. Marconnier came into the house asthe
reporter was there. He is big, athletic
fellow He looked black, and would say
nothing, stating that he wanted his name
left out of the paper, and no scandal.
But you were willing to publish me IN
the paper, when you had no earthly reason
for it, exclaimed his wife. Marconnier
retired to the kitchen.
Mrs Marconnier saysher husband is going
10 sue her for divorce, but that she has
three charges against him, and he has n0th-
ing whatever against her. So she viii en-
deavor to make him pay alimony. She
also says she is a good nurse, and can .cw,
and is not afraid to try to make her living
She also states that most of the things in
the home belong TO her.

The PLAN OF EXTENSION
Citizens Interested in Sixteenth
Street Given a Hearing.
Modification of the Agreement to
Dedicate GrOund-The supreme
Court Decision.

A delegation OF citizens interested in
the extension OF Sixteenth street con-
ferred with the Commissioners today upon
the details OF a plan which they propose
to adopt in order to secure for the project
the favorable consideration of Congress.
It was largely informal, and resulted
finally in referring the plan back to the
citizens, with the privilege of adopting
one OF several propositions discussed.
The property owners agreed more than
@ year ago to dedicate the ground re-
quired for the extensi ON, from Piney
Branch to the District line, upon the
condition that the Fifty-fourth Congress
should make immediate provision for the
Improvement and that the owners should
be exempted from assessments for sup
posed benefits.
This offer has been modified considerably,
the owners agreeing to dedicate, upon con-
ditior that Congress shall grade and macad-
amize the street within year. They VIII
either prepare deeds for the transfer OF the
land, TO be recorded when the appropriation
shall be made, or furnish plat, making the
same conveyance. They believe this con-
cession, being very different from the condi-
ton that prevails as TO other streets, will
influence Congress to act at once, and the
Commissioners agreed to make an estimate
for the appropriation as soon as assured of
the dedication.
1t was agreed that IL the Supreme Court
OF the United States shall declare the nigh
way extension act to be unconstitutional,
the extension may be accomplished by
special act.
Among those present at the hearing were;
Messrs. Thomas Blagden W. V Cox, 3. p.
Davis, B. F. II Holman, II. d. Walbridge, j.
D. Henderson, Jr., j B. slemon, F. II.
