THE DEWEY STANDS.
Subject For Discussion at Yesterdays
Mazet Session.

New York, October 6.-Perhaps the
most interesting subject up for discussion
at today's session of the Mazet legislative
investigating committse-was the Dewey
parade stands. The frat witness was
DR.. Charles II. Roberts, chief sanitary
superints ndent of the board of health.
DR.. Roberts submitted certain documents
showing tnat the Dewey stands were not
constructed IN sanitary fashion. Steph-
en- Il. Berry. owner of one OF the Dewey
parade stands, testified that his "partner
settled matters by giving one inspector
IS and another inspector s25."
The next question brought mp before
the committee was the East river bridge
matter. Attorney Moss hoped to prove
that the city would be obliged to buy out
private franchises for bridge sites before
the public bridges could be constructed to
the borough Of Brooklyn. but this was
denied by Bridge Commissioner Shea.
Mr.. Peter u. Meyer, a dock commi ssion-
sr and partner in the real estate business
with Richard Croker. created something
of scene by demanding of the commit
tee an immediate hearing claiming that
1t was necessary for him to attend meet
ing of the dock board. This was denied
him and an exchange of word followed,
MIR. Meyer finally leaving the room.
Park Commissioner Brewer was before
the committee and an attempt Was made
TO ind ace him to explain troubles recent
ly occurring in his department. He
pleaded that he was of Revolutionary
stocks and therefore would not rob the
city. ]. Sergeant Cram, president OF the
dock department, when closely questioned
regarding certain asphalt pavements put
down by the Uvalde Asphalt company,
took refuge. behind the statement: eff
I don't obey the law, there's the grand
jury"
The days proceedings wound up with
an attempt to examine Peter Il. Meyer,
who had again been called into the room
and placed on the. stand. Mr. Meyer broke
cut with passipnsts objection to being
examined by Mr.. Moss. He even OBJ jscted
to "haying any other reputable man ex-
amined by him. He said there was mat
ter of long standing between them-a
personal matter.
Mr.. Moss said that he had been warned
that the next time he put q member of
Tammany Hall ON the stand, his reputa-
ton would be ripped up. He asserted
that he was willing to have his name
blasted tomorrow If only today he could
put one of them on the stand. This was
his reply to the threat and the warning.
The examination then proceeded, the
question Of why Mr.. Meyer voted for the
Uvalds paving contracts being first taken
up Mr.. Meyer was still on the stand
when the committss adjourned for ihs
day.

The BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

New York, October OR. g. Dun g.
Co. 8 weekly review of trade will say to-
morrow: The final statement of failures
during the third quarter of 1899 differs
from last weeks estimate and while with
banking failures included, as they are In
all other reports, the 2,010 failures showed
defaulted liabilities of $50, S39, 319. 1t ap.
pears that those of commercial character
were but 2, COL, with liabilities of Sl7, $40,
672. The grand demonstration in honor
of Admiral Dewey eifsotualIy stopped
business of most kinds for two days at
the chief city of the country, and yet the
remaining transactions for the week
would have excited wonder a year ago.
After advancing about two cents wheat
declined sharply, uncertainty in the
Transyaal being used by spectators Of
excuse for the 1uotuation. The closing
price 10 unchanged. with Atlantic exports
Of 3,562,062 bushels of -four included
against ASA, 5s3 last year, and Pacific
exports of 597, 05s bushels against 7O2. AL
last year. When 1t Is noted that corr
exports were also Q, 992, 232 bushels for tbs
week against ass, 002 last year, the price
rising one cent, it seems not strange that
wheat continues firm, and western re
ceipts have been for the week only 6,644,
llS bushels against 10 $50, 359 last year.

Go to Prison for Life.
A New Trial Will Be
Asked For.
Argument of Attorney General
Haines.

HouIton, October 6-Alexis Cakes, so
years of age. was today convicted Of muir
der In this first degree for the killing. of
his SON Oliver on August slst last The
state of Maine having capital punish
ment. the penalty for this crime is life
Imprisonment. Today was the fifth day
Of the trial which has attracted much
attention because of the particularly re-
voting nature of the crime and the age
Of the murderer.
The government and defense having
counsel for the defense having entered
their plea yesterday. 1t remained for At.
torney General Haynes to make the final
summing up. His argument began by
reminding the jury CT their duty and the
responsibility resting upon them. In part
he said:
81 never yet conducted a case of this
nature, but, so far as my personal feeiinge
are concerned, j would rather ask that
the case be mol pressed. But the public
demands that he who takes the life Of
another must be placed where he can do
no further harm. Now we have an adj
mitted killing. Oliver Cakes when he
received the fatal shot was standing in
his own door yard. He was shot by
Alexis Cakes, his father, You must keep
this fact In mind.
eff you permit such person rs Alexis
Cakes 60 go free, the population Of your
towns and plantations will soon become
largely depopulated. 1 have the satisfac-
tion of feeling that In my 20 years prHc-
tice never, knowingly, assisted In tina
conviction Of an innocent man. II you be-
iieve the testimony introduced by the
defense and are satisfied that Alexis
Cakes was justified in the shooting of his
sou, say SO; but, If, on the other hand.
you are satisfied that this old man de-
liberately. shot his son without just provi-
cation as l believe he did, don't let the
| fact OF his old age influence your verdict.
II you return a verdict Of guilty he-will
have good care by the state. He cannot
live many years and will be placed
where he can do no further injury"
Mr.. Haines' plea was Of half an hour s
duration. After recess. Judge Savage
charged the jury, occupying an hour and
twenty minutes The jury then retired
for elaboration and at $50 brought in a
verdict of guilty of murder In the first
degree. Attorneys for the defense will
ask for a new trial and sentence il with
