Notwithstanding the large crowd pres.

and his two footmen attended to the ar
rival and departure Of the guests. Lip

harged With Secret Assault

Sam Livingstone, colored, was arraign-
ed IN Justice Bunting's court yesterday
charged with secretly assaulting A. Fl.
Lamb, colored. The defendant, through
his counsel, Herbert McClamry, Esq,
waived an examination and was commit
ted to Jail in default of 800 bond to
await trial at the present term of the
criminal court. The story of the alleg-
ed assault is as follows:
Last Friday night watch services were
held at st. Stephens church (colored),
and Lamb was in attendance. After the
new year was ushered in Lamb left the
church in company with two female
companions. When the trio reached the
corner of Thirteenth and Market streets
they separated, one of the women going
down Thirteenth street and Lamb ana
the other woman, who was Livingstone's S
wife, and who had requested Lamb, on
account OF the time being night, to es-
cort her home, continued walking up
Market street, until the woman'S house
was reached. Lamb then bade his COM
panion good night and started off, but
about that time Livingstone came out of
the house and fired pistol three times,
fortunately without result, at Lamb, and
then beat him badly with stick.
The accused, Livingstone, renounces
the truthfulness of the latter part of the
story, and states that Banks fired at him
with a pistol.

Jewelry Firms Swindled

Salem Mass, January 5.-Two of the
large jewelry firms of this city who ad-
vertise largely in magazines and do a
very extensive mail and express order
business throughout the country, report
ed today that they were the victims of a
clever swindle at Christmas time. AT
that time one of the firm received an or
der for $50 worth of goods from a per-
son in Willow Grove. Pa, who enclosed
a United States Express money order in
payment for the same. The other firm
at the same time received an order for
SlO0 worth of goods from the same per-
sons. who paid for them in a similar
manner. These orders were accepted
without question. but the United States
Express Company now makes affidavit
that the orders were forgeries upon
blanks stolen from the company. 1t is
thought probable that other concerns
doing a similar mail and express busi-
ness throughout the United States have
also been victimiZed

Preparations Completed for Durrant's TX.
eCutiOn

San Francisco, Cal, January 5.-Al-
though the attorneys for w. H. T. Dur
rant the condemned murderer of
Blanche Lamont were considerably dis
concerted by the denial of their appica-
ton for a writ of llabeas corpus and per-
mission to appeal therefrom to the
United States circuit court this morning.
They have yet two more moves by means
of which they hope to prevent the eXecu-
ton of their client on Friday. These are
to appeal to the governor for a reprieve
and to apply to the supreme court of the
United States for an appeal from the
circuit court decision denying the petit
tion for writ of habeas corpus. Attor-
ney G. l.. Boardman, who left here on
Saturday last, is expected to reach
Washington tonight and will probably
morning. While little reliance is being
placed upon the governor, strong pres
sure is being brought to bear upon him
on behalf of the condemned murderer
and no stone is being left unturned in the
effort to gain executive clemency.
Meantime Warden Hale has completed
all his arrangements for the carrying out
of the sentence, and SO little faith have
DurrantS parents in the efforts to save
their son that they have requested Rev.

was decided objection on the part of the
cemetery officials in this city to permit
ting Durrants body to be inferred on
account of the publicity which his case
has been given.

REF UBLICANS AT OUTS
The Breach In the Lower House oil the

lfcans Unable tc Organize That Body.

Annapolis, Md, January 5.-The split
in the ranks of the republican mem
bers OF the house of delegates, which
developed ait last nights caucus, con-
tinued today with the result that the
house was compelled to adjourn until
tomorrow without having organized
and there seems t, be no Immediate
prospect of a settlement of the diff
Guilty.
Without the aid of seven of the Sc
ceders, the republican majority can
not elect a speaker, and with four of
them the democrats would have the
number necessary under the cOnstitu-
tion to effect an organization. The
recalcbtrtant republicans have can
didate for the speakership in the per-
son of Mr.. Schaefer, a member of the
Baltimore city delegation. United
States Senator Wellington and Gov
ernor Lowndes have both declared for
Judge McComtas for United States SEN
a.tor while Major Alexander Shaw,
General Thomas F. Shyrock and Con-
gressman Sydney Mudd, are making
an active canvass in order to see how
the land lies.
The democrats today voted for the
caucus nominee of their party, Lloyd
Wilkinson, while the republican ma
jority voted for Ashley M. Gould, who
was put UP by last nights republican
caucus. The ballOtfng resulted in
Gould getting thirty-eig'ht votes,
Schaefer eleven and Wilkinson forty
two, but as forty-six are necessary to
an election, an adjournment was ta-
ken until tomorrow. The senate or
ganized by 'electing ]. Writ Randall
president and filling the other Off
ces with the nominees of the SEN
atorial caucus.
Balloting for a Successor to United
States Senator GQrman will begin
