VIRGINIA SENATORSHIP.
Senatorial Developments Are Elk
pected in a Short Time

Richmond, Va, Oct. 25.-There Is a
row ahead in the democratic ranks In
Virginia that will surpass all previous
attempts in that direction, growing
! out of the fight for the senatorship.
The friends of Senator Martin. who
is practically the head of the demo-
cratic organization in Virginia, now
call upon Governor Tyler to declare
whether he will come out in advance
and bind himself to abide by the choice
for senator of the democratic legisla-
tive caucus Should this demand be
pressed upon the governor it viii pre-
cipitate events which seem to be rapid
ly approaching a elimination. AS it
is the governor has time and again
declared that he is in no wise respon-
sible for the appearance of such an
unusual number of independent demo-
cratic candidates for the two houses
of the general assembly, nor is he to
be held accountable, the governor as
serts, for the peculiar condition into
which the party has drifted, which
made such a condition possible. The
1t is certain that within the next fort
night a highly sensational feature will
be injected into it by the friends of
Tyler.
How far this will determine the final
result will remain to be seen. Cover
nor Tyler claims that he will certain
ly have about fifty of the 40 members
of the two branches of the assembly.
If this estimate be correct and there
are anything like thirty Independents
and republicans these, with elements
combined, will be masters of the stu
alton outside of a caucus. The ques-
ton now is upon the course the gov
ernor may pursue. Nearly all of the
democratic independents who appeared
today We're strong supporters of the
executive The whole thing turns upon
what his attitude now win be toward
them.

BORROWED THE CITY'S FUNDS
Suit Against a Pittsburg Republican
Boss to Recover $11S,0 G0.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 25.-Newspaper
charges that State Senator William.
Finn had borrowed over $11S,000 of
city funds resulted in three suits be-
Ing entered in the common pleas courts
The action was taken by Solicitor
Clarence Burleigh after an examina-
ton of Cancelled checks showing that
the money had been paid to Mr.. Finn
OF Booth & Finn. The checks We're
drawn by W. c. Moreland, then city
attorney, in favor of w. H. House, as
sistant city attorney, and by House
made payable to William Finn. or
Booth & Finn. The checks were is
sued at various times between 1885
and 1894.
Finn says all the money was paid
back with interest, but he has not
produced his Cancelled checks or any
data bearing on the payments. In an
audit of the city attorneys books
shortage of over 100000 was found.
Moreland and House were both sent to
the penitentiary for embezzlement. II
was not known that Finn was mixed
up in the case until two weeks ago,
when fac SMILES of the checks were
published.
He thinks friends of NJ. S. Quay were
responsible for the publication. He
admits getting the money. but the de-
tense will be that he did not know he
was borrowing public funds. The city
auditors failed to discover anything to
show that the money was returned.
Finn is the chairman of the repub-
Hcan city committee. and at Harris
burg last winter. was the leader of

forever stunted If a Gordon OF
blocks" We're established around the
town there would be an end of Greater
Phoenix. The councilmen frightened
by one block would flee in dismay, only
to be turned back by another Hav-
ing been chased about the ring ever
encountering the dreadful blocks they
would at last give up the effort to
break out, and hide in the center of
the ring where they could see no
blocks to get scared at. If the OPP
position to extension in the other ad-
| ditions had had the foresight to play
upon the fears of the council by tempo
rarily establishing blocks in the To-
calities proposed to be annexed all the
petitions would have been withdrawn
from the court and Phoenix would
have been smaller but unspotted from
the world.
The Murphy addition agitation has
served to call attention to its impor-
lance. Many persons thought that it
was a scattered settlement which could
bring into town nothing of wealth or
population worth having. The BOOKS
of the county treasurer's office show
that it has a taxable wealth of $685.
600, or five per cent as much as the
present total valuation of Phoenix
1t contains one of the three schools of
Phoenix district and is more com
pactly settled than any addition that
has even been annexed to the city It
Is nearer. Weather and more populous
than either the Churchill or Dennis
addition.
There is technical objection to Its
admission on the ground that its petit
tion is not in form and particularly
that it does not set forth the facts
I'D &c
Phoenix and that the subscribers do
rot represent more than half the tax
able property. AS a matter of fact,
twO-th1rds of the wealth of the addi
ton IS represented and more than half
the population. The block has not
been canvassed at all and the Opposi-
ton there is known to be not solid. At
least one property owner has said that
he would sign the petition if it were
presented to him. There is really no
opposition to admission of which the
council can take cogn1zance- Against
the petition there has not come a re-
1nonstrance from the block or any
where else. II the, counctlmen have
heard any, it has been conveyed to
them privately.
The promoters of the annexation say |
they would remedy the technical de-
fects of the petition complained of by |
the council if they We're assured of
honest action upon it. but the collec- |
ton of signatures involves a great |
deal of time and labor, which no man |
cares to throw away to no purpose.
If another petition is prepared 1t
will be done for presentation IN dis
trict court IN an effort to break down
by force the barrier which the council
could remove by word.

TALE OF TWO COURTS
A Pending Demurrer in a
Counterfeit Case.
Close of The Arguments in The
Water SuifS-whY e. DaggS
HeSitafed TO Enroll Himself
Among the Members Of the Bar.

The United States grand jury yester-
day submitted it's final report and was
discharged. An Indictment was re-
turned against Jose Hereras for selling
liquor to an Indian, and he and Pablo
Mascon, who had been indicted for the
same offense the day before, were ar
rafgned. Juan Sais and Cyrus Bear
hand, who had been held to the grand
jury on the same charge, We're re-
leased. In the case OF Jose Rios, for
passing counterfeit money, Attorney
c. NJ. Frazier demurred to the indict-
ment on the ground, first, that more
than one crime, '-uttering and pass
ing" We're charged in the same indict-
ment, and, second, that the indictment
contained a record of the circumstance
that the defendant had served a term
for grand larceny. 1t was claimed that
he was thereby robbed of a privilege
guaranteed to him by the constitution
to go before a jury of his peers with a
presumption of his innocence.
Replying to the first ground, United
States Attorney Morrison called atten-
ton to the definition of the crime with
which Rios was charged; that utter
ing and passing" constituted it. With
respect to the second ground, the
United States attorney quoted from
various decisions showing that the
presentation of a defendants record
had been held to be no violation of his
constitutional privileges, but that in
many states it is provided for in the
statutes which contemplate an addi-
tional punishment for a defendant to
whom crime has become a habit. This
seemed to dispose of the demurrer, but
the discussion uncovered a point which
may be an important one. The court
asked Mr.. Morrison if the federal
statutes provided an additional pun
ishment in cases of cOunterfeiting. The
district attorney replied that he had
not considered that question; that it
was outside the pleadings. The court
construed the question to have been
lraised and took the matter under ad-
Nisement.

The Name of a Proposed Municipal
Incorporation.

The city council at the hour of going
to press has given no intimation that
it intends to remove the barrier which
separates the city of Phoenix from the
Murphy addition. No city council Of
this city was ever before roasted 50
generally on account of it's attitude on
a public question, and no man who has
gone to a member of the council on the
subject of admitting the Murphy addi
ton has so far, been able to get any
other reason for his opposition than
the presence of the block. 1t has been
pointed out that the block ought not
to be allowed to stand as an obstacle
to the city's growth The councilmen
have shown by giving way to
their fears and scruples how the
