will take will be one OF those arranged
by Cook 4 Sons, famous for the PERSON.

u Has Jurisdiction In Trnspnss and Nui-
sauce CAses--tssneral jury Through Work.
In decision given Tuesday after
noon. the Superior Court ruled that
cases of tiespass and nuisance within
the city limits are for the Municipal
Court and not for the magistrates. The
question came before the court on o
writ Of certiorari from Magistrate
Daley's court. Ida Greenwood hnd
been sentenced to pay fine of 50 and
costs, amounting in all to So. 81, on a
charge of trespassing upon the premises
of Lenora Lone, and acting disorderly,.
In the certiorari proceedings, Frank
Speakman represented the Greenwood
woman and Peter l.. Cooper, Jr., the
State.
Argument was heard on motion for
new trial in the case of David
Boulder vs.. JOSEPH s. Petit, in which
n, verdict for the defendant had been
given. A. u. Cooper and Walter ii.
Hayes, held that the verdict was
against the law and the evidence.
Peter l.. Cooper, Jr., opposed the APP
plication. Decision was reserved.
A verdict for the defendant below,
with costs, was given in Superior
Court yesterday morning in the case OF
Clara E. Ostergren, defendant below

THE PORTO RICO TARIFF BILL.
An Amendment offered by Representative
Payne Adopted without Division.

An Amendment Offered by Representative
Payne Adopted without Division.
Associated Press Dispatch by special Wire.
Washington, Feb. SS.-The last day
of the struggle over the Porto Rico
Tariff hill in the House opened today
with almost every member in his seat.
The final vote is to be taken at
O'Clock. Mr. Underwood of Alabama,
the Democratic whip, said the result
would To very close and turn upon the
vote of two or three men on the Demo-
cratic side. Mr.. Tawney, the Repub-
lican whip, said the bill would have
five votes TO spare. He said the main
danger lay in the motion to reoommit.
When the clerk began reading the
bill for amendment, Mr.. Payne offered
a substitute that all merchandise COM
ing here from Porto Rico and vice versa
shall pay duty of Is per cent Of the
duties which are levied upon like arti-
Giles imported from foreign countries.
In addition, on all articles Of merchan-
disc of Porto Rican manufacture COM
ing into this country, and withdrawn
for consumption or sale, a tax equal to
the internal revenue tax imposed here
upon like articles of domestic manu-
| facture. On articles of merchandise OF
United States manufacture coming
into Porto Rico, In addition to the
duty above provided, the payment OF q
tax equal in rate and amount to the
internal tax imposed in Porto Rico
upou like articles Of Porto Rican manu-
facture.
Mr.. Berry, Kentucky, said the
amendment proposed petty larceny, and
Mr.. DeArmond, Missouri, criticised the
words looming into the United States"
as an intention to evade the Consti-
tuition.
Mr.. Grow, Pennsylvania, and Mr..
Graft, Illinois, spoke briefly in support
of the bill.
Mr.. Payne explained that the sub
stitute did two things. 1t reduced the
duty from 25 to 10 per cent, and it
also removed some confusion regarding
double taxation. Mr.. Payne said he
still adhered to the opinion that 20 per
cent would be better than Is, because
1T would raise more revenue, but l5
per cent was better than nothing. In
answer to question as to how much
the bill as amended would raise, Mr..
Payne said the estimate for the Original
bill was S1,700,000. If that estimate
we're correct, the amended bill woulc
raise about 81, $50, 900 Fer annum. Mr..
Payne took occasion to reprove some o.
his critics, who had complained thai
be had given no explanation Of biz
. change Of front. His speech and hi:
report, he said, gave full explanation
He had believed In free trade Will
Porto Rico at one time, but suesequen
information had convinced him tina
! the duty proposed by the pending bill
should be imposed.
} Mr.. Otey, Va, followed Mr.. Gros
i venor with a speech which convulset
j the House and galleries. He nimickei
, the uannerism Of some of the Republi
can leaders, concluding with a pared.
upon the speech delivered by Mr.
8 Cannon, Illinois, yesterday.

BARK QUEYlLLEY ASHORE.
She Grounded a Mile Below Marcus Hooi
During the Storm.

She Grounded Mile Below Marcus Hook.
During the Storm.
The French bark Quevilley, Capt.
Loisel, bound from Dieppe, France,
for Marcus Hook, where she was to
receive cargo Of oil, grounded a mile
below Marcus Hook Sunday morning.
Ordinarily, no sailing vessel of any
size would attempt to como up the
Delaware without assistance. CAPT.
Loisel, however, determined to try.
The run was an uneyentful one. Before
midnight on Saturday, the bark had
arrived within one mile of her desti-
nation, the Standard Oil Go. IS works
at Marcus Hook. In the meantime,
the storm WAS raging In all its fury.
In the Delaware River, Capt Loisel
found that he had reckoned without
his host. The night was extremely
dark, and binding clouds Of needle-
like snow obscured the shore from the
sight of the mariners. An attempt was
made to anchor the vessel, but she was
driven around In circles. The Quevilley
struck hard and fast, with her stern
towards the beach. Her rredicament
was undiscovered until yesterday after.
noon, when the tug Churohman arrived
on the scene. ..

Residence OF j. 8. wiokes Burned.

Chestertown, Md, Feb. 81. The
pretty home Of Samuel j. Wickes, at
Rock Hall, was totally destroyed by
fire this morning, together with most
of its contents. Mrs. Wickes is spend
ing the winter In Baltimore. Mr.
Wickes, who is successful merchant
Of the village, left his home for his
store this morning, leaving all the fires
in supposed condition to insure the
safety OF the property. Later the build
ing was discovered to be on Dire, the
flames having made such headway as to
preclude all possibility of doing more
than saving some IF the personal prop
erty and surrounding buildings. Some
of the household goods were gotten out.
Mr.. Wiokes had one of the most tictur-
esque and beautiful homes in the
county. The property was insured in
the Kent Mutual of Chestertown for
81, 800. Since the big fire of last fall
the citizens of Rock Hall have strongly
advocated an organized fire department,
but as yet no definite move has been
taken.
