For two years there have been Re-
publicans who have been declaring
that VIM r. Eustis was weak
candidate, and lost the governorship
because of his weakness. But they
are now beginning to admit that Mr..
Eustis was not such weak candidate
after ALL but that it was Lind
popularity among a certain class of
Republican voters. Had it been a
presidential year, with the attendant
canvass, he would doubtless have
pulled through because of the larger
vote that would have been polled.

theme high aims in the pursuit of the law

and his effort was to cause those who
heard him to feel the great possibilities of
their chosen profession.

AN ADVERSE OPINION.

Attorney Duvall Passes Upon Appli-
cation From Ordway Estate.
The attorney for the District has sub
opinion upon the application of Mr. N. G.
Ordway, executor of the estate Of George
l.. Ordway, for a settlement relative to the
auction sale of building and materials con-
nected with the Washington Market Com
pany.
The claim. states the attorney, is that the
District is liable to account to the owners
Of the building removed from the Washing
ton Market -Company's premises on Penn
sylvania avenue to the grounds of the
wholesale market 1t being alleged, he adds,
that such removal and location were made
with the consent Of the then superintendent
made by which the District should have
cne-half Of the rental and those who had
placed the building there should receive
through the collector Of ground rents the
ether half of the rental for its use, etc
Il am of the opinion" says the attorney,
that neither the superintendent of build
tngs, whoever may be intended by this
legal authority to make any such arrange
nent as that mentioned. and the District
of Columbia, therefore, was not and is not
bound thereby, nor is 1t liable to account
for any rentals. = ~
ut further appears that the alleged own
ers Of the building desire to remove it to a
private lot. The presumption Is that a
other becomes the property of the land
owners, and unless the owners of the
building expressly reserved the right to re-
move 1t, they have no such right"

and the larceny of certain rigging there
from, which was alleged to have occurred
last Saturday night in the Potomac near
Fort Foote, was called before Mayor Simpson
in the police court this morning Attorney
Samuel G. Brent appeared for the defend
ants. A colored man named H. Thomp
son, the owner Of the craft, was the COM
plainant. His evidence did not even
motely connect the accused with the burn
ing of his vessel. and the testimony of other
witnesses established an alibi for the pris-
oners. Some rigging which Thompson de-
clared belonged to his vessel. and which the
officers recovered yesterday. put in
evidence, but this was considered valueless
and Mayor Simpson dismissed Windsor and
Gator, stating that there was no case
against them Thompson stated his inten-
