Railway Stocks Stronger on a Favor
able Crop Report.
MONEY RATES BACK TO 4 Per Cent
Broader Range of the Market
Than for Some Time.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. April 1.-THE government
crop report showing the condition of wheat
to be only per cent lower than last year
had a very favorable influence on prices.
The extreme weather of the past winter,
the lateness of the season and such other
adverse crop conditions as have come to
light from time to time had led to rather
discouraging predictions as to the real ex-
tent of the damage.
The showing made is not unfavorable
from the railroad standpoint, since the pros
poets for east-bound traffic good and
the year is exceptional. inasmuch as the
cars will not return empty. With manu-
factured merchandise so conspicuous in
every train load of miscellaneous freight
the western railroads are not so thoroughly
dependent on what the farmer has to ship.
Shipments to the farmer are as profitable
as those from him, and when both transac-
tons are probable the railroads have little
occasion for anxiety. Not being wholly de-
pendent upon wheat the failure to make as
good showing as last year was not al
loved to impair confidence in the future of
prices.
Money rates worked back TO per cent
and less comment on the evils of industrial
domination was heard. Leading interests
in the iron and steel properties resumed
purchases on considerable scale and ex-
pressed the belief that the worst of the
scare had passed for time. Commission
houses frowned upon new business in such
securities except where the percentage of
margin was double that of the last fort
night.
With wide margins and liberal sprink-
ling of standard shares coupled with indi-
vidual responsibility the banks are willing
to make new loans on industrial issues the
preferred stocks in particular.
1t has become apparent that the market
is not Immediately likely to become so one
sided in the matter of the stocks selected
as heretofore. Instead of the industrial
list monopoiiZng attention activity in the
low-priced railway issues already shows
signs of revival.
Missouri Pacific gained per cent today
under a good demand and the several pre-
ferred stocks of the other Pacific roads
showed new buying power. The entire rail-
way list was in better demand st. Paurs
splendid earnings encouraging new COM
mitments in all parts of the list. The de-
mand for the Granger shares was divided
between the two accounts but the buying
was very good at times.
The Flower stocks Were marked up under
a mixed demand, special attention being
paid to Peoples Gas and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit. The announcement that the former
property is earning a comfortable surplus
in excess of its per cent dividend rate
and its immunity from hostile legislation
brought in some very good buying
There is some difference of opinion as to
markets endurance Just at this juncture,
but there is almost a unanimous belief in
purchases made on traders concessions.

THE RIGHT OF APPEAL
Opinion Handed Down by q. s. Supreme
Court in Local Controversies.
Capital Traction Railway Against
Charles Hof-Case Taken I'D From
Justice Of the Peace.

In the United States Supreme Court an
opinion was handed down today in the case
of the Capital Traction Company agt. Chas.
Hof, involving the right of appeal from
verdicts rendered in jury trials In the courts
of justices of the peace. In this matter
Judge Cox of the Supreme Court of the
District held that the case, which was a
money demand involving 500, could not be
appealed tc his court because in the jus
tees court in which ii had been tried there
had been jury.
The Court of Appeals of the District of
Columbia reversed this opinion, and the
opinion of the Supreme Court of today has
the effect of affirming this opinion and de-
claring that an appeal is justified
The opinion was handed down by Justice
Gray, who, summing up his conclusions.
said:
Congress in the exercise of its general
and exclusive power OF legislation over the
District of Columbia. may provide for the
trial of civil courses of moderate amount
by a justice of the peace. or in his presence
by jury of twelve of any less number,
allowing TO either party, where the value
in controversy exceeds $50, the right TO ap-
peal from the judgment OF the Justice OF
the peace to court of record and to have
a trial by jury in that court.
That Congress in every where the
value in controversy exceeds 81 has au-
Judgment of the justice of the peace, al
though entered upon the verdict of a jury,
to the Supreme Court of the District OF
Columbia, and to have a trial by jury in
that court; that the trial by jury OF
twelve, as permitted by Congress to he had
before a Justice of the peace is not and
the trial by jury in the Appellate Court is.
a trial by jury within the meaning OF the
common law and OF the seventh amend
ment to the Constitution; that, therefore.
the trial of facts by jury before the JUS
tice of the peace does not prevent those
facts from being re-eXamined by jury in
the appellate court,
That the right of trial by jury ia the APP
pellabe Court is not unduly obstructed by
the provisions enlargfng the civil jurisdic-
tion Of justices of the peace to 5000, and re-
quiring every appellant to give security 10
pay and satisfy the Judgment Of the Appel
late Court: that the legislation of Congress
upon the subject is I'm adj respects consist
ent with the Constitution of the United
States"
Similar cases of the Metropolitan Com
pany and the Brightwood Company were
decided in the same manner.

JUDGE EWARTS APPOINTMENT.
No Legal Objection, His Friends Say,
to His Choice.

Considerable interest attaches at this
time to the possible reappointment of Judge
EWart of North Carolina as United States
judge. 1t will be remembered thar Judge
Ewart was appointed by the President
February /, 1898, but the Senate failed to
confirm the nomination at that session, and
Congress adjourned without action being
secured on his case in the Senate
After the adjournment in July, 1898, the
President reappointed him for the recess.
When Congress reasselnbed his confrma-
ton hung fire in the Senate, and the termi-
nation of the Congress March found his
case still pigeon-holed. 1t was then said
that the President would again reappoint
him.
Recently a report was published that the
President was debarred by law from again
appointing him, and it was said that sec
tion 1769, Revised tatutes, expressly pro-
hibited such action. 1t was claimed that
Judge Ewart was very much concerned
over the feature of the case presented by
the discovery of this statute.
Judge Ewart's friends say that he is not
at all concerned about 1t, however, and
that. as a matter of fact, no such statute
exists. They say that the section referred
to was part of the tenure of office act
which was repealed in 1887. There is no
legal obstacle to his reappontment, they
say, and they believe that the President in
tends to again appoint him, and, after the
recess, to once more send his name to the
Senate for confirmation.

TOSHOW CONSPIRACY
Purpose of the Defense in Ex-senator
Quay's Trial.

He Tells Of the Papers Taken From
Bank Vaults.
IGNORANT OF THEIR MISUSE

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-THE trial of
of conspiracy began in earnest today. when
commonwealth to tell what each knew
about the case.
Five minutes before court opened the ex-
senator and his son. Richard, came in, un-
accompanied. Mr.. Quay was smiling and
his features bore hopeful expression as he
responded to the greetings of few politi-
cal and personal friends in the court ROOM
once seated, his face resumed the calm re-
pose So characteristic of the man. He sat
quietly through the entire session, and as
far as outward expression of countenance
indicated he was the most unconcerned
person in the room. Nearly half an hour
was spent in the arrangement of papers
and in consultations among counsel before
the business of the day began.
Thomas w. Barlow, the receiver of the
bank, who was on the stand at adjourn
ment yesterday and identified the books
and papers found in the bank upon assum-
ing his duties, was cross-examined by Mr..
Shapley of counsel for Mr.. Quay.
Outline of the Defense.
Mr.. Shapley had not proceeded far with
the cross-examnation before his line OF
questions apparently indicated his purpose
to prove that the whole fabric of the
charges against Mr.. Quay were the result
of conspiracy. After bringing out the fact
that Mr.. Barlow was assistant to former
District Attorney Graham during the time
he acted as receiver and was busy with
other duties, the witness was told to tell

DISAPPOINTED CROWD:
The berry Case Removed From Upper
Marlboro.

Marlboro.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
MARLBORO, Md, April IL. 1899
There was disappointed crowd OF eiti-
zens from all parts Of The county in court
this afternoon. They had come here ex-
pecting to hear the case of John Berry, col
ored for the murder of Miss Mary Amanda
Clarke at Bowie only a short time ago.
Charles A. Stanley of Laurel and c. c.
Magruder of Marlboro were assigned by
the court to defend the murderer.
A change of venue was asked because the
defendant declared he could not get fair
trial in this county. In support of this mo-
ton counsel said they had told their client
that he could get as fair trial here as he
could elsewhere, bue he declined TO allow
his case to be heard
The court made an order of removal, the
place of trial to be determined later. Coun-
sci asked that he be tried in Baltimore. The
prisoner was brought from the Baltimore
Jail this morning and was driven here from
Washington by Deputy Sheriff Tighe.
He was badly frightened, and when he
the crowds of people in town he feared
that his time had come Long before the
case was called in court it was whispered
about the court room that a movement was
on foot looking to the lynching of the col
ored boy. States Attorney Bells did not
want to lose his prisoner in this way, and
he consented to his removal from Jail te-
fore his case was called for trial in order
to avoid the possibility of mob violence, the
prisoner was spirited away from the prison
in a wagon, and it is reported was taken
back to Washington over one of the back
roads, to be returned to, Baltimore. Miss
Annie Clarke, who survived her injuries,
would not have been in court today had the
case been heard. She has not yet left her
house, although she has almost recovered.
Mrs. Drown, for thu murder of whose niece
at Seat Pleasant James Smith was exe-
cuted here two years ago, was a party to
a civil suit here today.
Had Berry been tried she would have
