pah Chapter, No. 8, Order of the Eastern

the Shenandoah river, with rough bridge
across it, and several small crafts. To the

HARBORMASTER' ESTIMATES,
Asked for in Report
Submitted Today.

Mr.. J. r. Sutton, the District harbormas-
ted for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1899:
his report for the year ended June 80, 1S9S,
together with his estimates for the coming
fiscal year. The amount appropriated for
the service for the year past, $2609, was
expended, together with $2+S from the
emergency fund and SO from the contin-
gent fund.
The following are the estimates submit
ted for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880:
Engineer $3.50: watchman, 1860; deck hand,
$3.50; repairs to boat and for fuel and other
miscellaneous expenses. $1,000; repairs to
harbor office wharf, 800; night crew, in
Guiding one engineer at $50 per annum,
one deck hand at $3G0 one watchman at
$3.50, and fuel and miscellaneous expenses
Of the night crew. 500, in all, $1,000; new
Dor boat Nigilant, together with an ice
plow and accommodations for the crew,
5000; making grand total of S12, 400.
The harbormaSter explains, in view of
the increa sed estimates, that the wharf is
in a very bad condition, the piles and
flooring are decaying very fast and are in
need OF repairs. The work at right has so
increased, he says, by the enforcement of
the game and fish laws that he is COM
PEELED to ask for the night crew, for which
he estimated. The machinery transferred
from the old harbor boat to the new one
is too light, he states, and too old to prop
erly prorel it; therefore he asks for the
new engine, boiler and other necessary ma
chnery His men, Mr.. Sutton says, have
performed their duties faithfully and effi-
ciently and the cooperation of the officials
of the police department has materially as
sisted on many occasions.

teen pieces of jewelry, valued in all at

she had pawned most of it. She claimed
that she had permitted herself to commit
CRIME IN order to secure money to dress

as there were single articles on which she
obtai, ed enough money to dress the child
for years.
The husband of the woman is a very re-
spectacle man, who occupies a responsible

SUSTA1NS THE DEMURRER,
Action of Court in Suit for Alleged
Malicious Prosecution.

The suit of Cassius NJ Carr against DR..
Williams Donnally, and Drs Noble, Finley,
Hills, Appler and Donnally, constituting the
board of dental examiners, and the District
of Columbia, for $40 900 for malicious pros
ecution, came up before Judge Cox yester-
day, on demurrer filed on behalf of the de-
PENDANTS Donnally and the dental exam
ration of the plaintiff. Attorney Conrad
H. Syme appeared for the defendants and
Attorney Tracy l.. JeffordS for M. Carr.
After hearing the arguments of counsel the
court sustained the demurrer of the de-
PENDANTS as to every count of the declara-
ton, sustaining the views of the counsel
for the defendants that the parties to the
suit as defendants Were improperly joined,
and that the damages alleged were too re-
mote. The court also gave the plaintiff
leave to amend his declaration as advised
The declaration contained three suits in
one, as noted in The Star at the time of
filing, and involved some unique questions
of law, one of which was that Mr. Carr
claimed in his declaration the right to re-
cover damages for injuries sustained by
corporation, the Artistic Anchor Denture
Company, of which he was president, by
reason of his alleged malicious prosecution
by the defendants for practicng dentistry
IN the District without a license. In add-
ton to the contention that the suit was i'm
properly brought by reason of the mis-
jofnder of parties and counts, the attorney
urged that the damages alleged We're too
remote, and that no stockholder could re-
a corporation. This view was sustained by
the court

No Nomination Made So Far Against
RepresentatiNe Hay.

Representative Hay.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
HARRlSONBURG,V Va, September 10, 1898.
Campaign orators are out of job this
fall, SO far as the seventh district is con-
cerned, although it is expected that some
of the more enthusiastic democrats will be
heard when court meets. Col. James Hay,
the present representative in Congress from
this district, will probably not have any
opposition, as the republicans failed to
make nomination at the Luray conven-
ton.
In this district the democratic nomina-
ton is equivalent to an election. During
recent years combinations of all kinds have
been made against the regular democra tic
nominee, but each time the election re-
suited In the usual big majority. There
seem to be more fights within the parties
in this district than there are between the
two opposing forces. This year the repub-
licans were hopelesSly divided and two
sets of delegates were sent to Luray, but
neither set desired to put a man in the
field There is plenty of material in the
district, but not many aspirants for the
empty honor.
Speaking of the political situation the
other day, prominent democrat said
everything is so quiet in the district this
fall that but few persons seem to realize
that the election is SO near at hand. Ger
tainly no enthusiasm is shown. This is
probably for the reason that there is no
contest being made, and there is no rea-
son for public oratory.
Col. Hay is a man who is much liked
throughout the district, and even if he had
an opponent many republicans it is stated,
would vote for him. The democrats were
SO well pleased with the record made by
Col. Hay in the last Congress that no one
in the district, it is thought, could possibly
nave defeated him for denomination.

Clark was wounded in a most peculiar
way. which illustrates the capabilities of a
Mauser bullet. Told in his own words
lis experience was as follows:
our regiment the 2ith, at the battle OF
III Carey was ordered to support the list
New York Volunteers, who were ordered
forward to the firing lire. The list did not
move as expected. and said they were
waiting for orders from their general. The
24th was then ordered to pass over them
and go on the firing line. We passed over
the list New York through narrow place
NOT wider than room, and took position,
keeping close to the ground. The battle
had not ragged long before / was struck in
the right eye by a Spanish sharpshooter
bullet and rendered Immediately uncon-
sciCus. When / regained consciousness l
found myself wrapped up, head. heels and
piles of dead and dying. l released one
arm and beckoned to a Red Cross nurse to
bring me some water. The nurse came to
me in great astonishment and said
Not dead yet? Why, you were thought
to be dead
II was taken to the hospital, where l
was kindly cared for by the Red Cross
nurses. The bullet entered the outer cor
rer of my right eye, destroying the sight,
passed out and across the right temple be
tween the skull bone and flesh down in
front of the right ear and completely out
at neck, but Immediately re-entered at the
shoulder and passed through the upper por
ton of my right lung and went out at the
back just below my right shoulder blade.

York, and they were going to perform
some kind of operation on me. | believed
it to be their intention TO kill me, so they
might study the wound made by Mauser
bullet, from what l overheard. l requested
removal to my home in the District here,

eye and some paralysis from injury TO

they would have been destroyed. The Span

Clarks wounds show that he has de-
scribed his injury well. He will doubtless
be discharged from the army for disabili-
ties, and pensioned and otherwise cared
for by the government.
