Rival Claims of Friends of McComa,
and Shaw.

and Shaw.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
BALTIMORE. Md. January "A large
number OF members of the general assem-
bly, are In town today. and speculation over
the senatorial election and the choice of
speaker of the house Is rife. The majority
OF the legislators believe that Judge Louis
f. McComas will be elected to succeed Sem
ator German, and that Mr. Ashley
NJ Gould of Montgomery will be chosen
speaker.
The Shaw advocates are unwilling to
grant that McComas is in the lead, or that
their candidates chances are waning They
are prepared to make strong fight at An
napolis in his behalf and intimate that
they Will have following when the ballot
ing begins that will surprise their oppo-
nentS.
The only danger, apparently, the Nc
Comas boom Is likely to undergo is the
opening of Shaws barrel" and the pos
sibility of that event occurring is occa-
sIonin6 a good deal of remark.
There is some talk today OF the action of
the republican state senators in electing
Senator Randall of Anne Arundel as their
presiding officer being recOnsidered, and
Senator Westcott of Kent being chosen in
mis- place.
1t Is understood that three of those who
voted for Mr.. Randall Senators Dick of
Allegany. Ravenscroft Of Garrett and Will
kinson of St. Mary's. regret having done so,
and will move tomorrow evening that
Few election be held. Their change of feel
ing is alleged 10 be due to their dissatisfac-
ton with the committee assignments which

LARGEST IN ITS HISTORY.
Business Done at the Patent Office
Last Year.

Last Year.
The business done by the patent office
last Friday was the largest in the history
OF the department. There were received In
fees alone that day. 1886. 1t was the last
day of 1897, and the last one in which in
ventors who had patents in foreign coun-
tries could take advantage of the old law,
which protected their patents for the full
term of seventeen years in this country.
Under the new law foreign patent, unless
application for United States patent is
made within three months Of its issuance,
becomes unpatentable in this country. and
many of the applications received were for
patents which had been issued in foreign
countries some time ago. To accommodate
all and give the inventors the benefit of
every minute, Assistant Commissioner
Greeley received cases at his home until
the new year was born.
The record for the year exceeds all pre-
vious ones in the history of the patent
Office. Upward of $1,000 applications for
patent were received, which is some 4, 200 in
excess of the largest previous year. In
fact. the business this year has increased
to such an extent that it has been found
necessary to create a new division, which
will have charge of the classes devoted to
advertising, requirements, baggage, games,
toys. &c. These subclaSses were taken
from divisions 81 and 81, and have been
placed in charge of First Assistant Exam
liner Kinnan, who recently was connected
with division &c
There are other divisions that will have
to be subdivided in the near future, but
this can only be accomplished by reason
able appropriations by Congress to meet the
exigences OF the case.

ENTITLED TO DAMAGES.
Supreme Court Reverses Decision I'm
Margaret HetxePs Case.


Justice Harlan delivered an opinion today
in the Supreme Court of the United States
in the case of Margaret Hetzel agt. the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company.
This action WAS brought by the plaintiff
in error to recover damages alleged to
have been sustained by her in consequence
of the unlawful obstruction of ID street In
this city
The jury having been instructed that the
pialntin could not recover anything more
than nominal damages. verdict was re-
turned LOT one cent, and for that amount
judgment was entered in her favor but
without costs. That judgment was affirm
ed IN the Court of Appeals of the District.
Inc declaration alleged that the plaintiff
was seized IN fee of a certain lot of land
on the corner of D and North CAPITOL
streets. in the city of Washington being
lot l, square $50. and that the defendant.
on April "a, 1873, and thereafter al divers
other times, had wrongfuIly. uni. gf1IIv
and fnjuriously obstructed that street by
placing thereon freight cars in large num-
bers and suffering the same to remain I'M
reasonably long: by loading and unloading
freight In the street; by using the street
for the general purposes of freight ward.
ETC., thus diminishing the value of the land
In question. In his opinion Justice Harlan
says:
1T results from what has been said that
the trial court erred in instructing the Jury
that The plaintiff could recover nothing
more than nominal damages. In our opin-
lon she was entitled to recover such dam
ages as were equivalent to tine injury done
to her by the defendants inexcusable and
persistent occupation and use of a public
street. In violation of law and in disr-gard
of her rights as an owner Of adjacent
property
Concluding. he says: I'VE are of opinion
that the Court OF Appeals erred in afiir,r-
ing the judgment of the Supreme Cot of
the District. The Judgment Is reversed
and the cause is remanded with instruc-
lions for a new trial In the Supreme Court
OF the District and for further proceedings
