WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 11.-specfal.
The House Committee on Elections, No.
5, to-day heard arguments in the contest
cd election case Of Wise against Young.
of the Second Congressional District OF
Virginia The COMMITTEES comprises nine
members, seven Of whom Were present.
Jonn S. Wise. formerly of Virginia, ap-
speared as counsel for Wise, the contes-
rant, and Judge D. Tucker Brooke, OF
Norfolk, represented Young, the contes-
tee.
s Capt. Wise, in his opening argument,
said the present contest differs from the
former one, between the same parties,
only in that the former election the frauds
practlced in behalf OF the contestee en-
braced the exclusion, by dilatory meth
DDS, OF about two thousand voters. In
5hhe election now contested, everybody
was allowed to vote, and the vote cast
was counted as the contestee's election
officers saw fit The votes Of dead men
and fictitious persons We're even added to
the lists to- make q return for the confess
s tee. Capt Wise then proceeded, by each
precinct in the district, to point out the
fraud, which he claimed had been the
means OF preventing his client from OBJ
tanning his seat in Congress. to which
he had been elected by majority OF Two
thousand nine hundred and ffty-one
votes. Concluding. he said:
0 All this Committee can do IS TO award
the contestant the seat OF which he has
been robbed. To order a. new election
would be folly This and the last : e..'rl-
test demonstrat e that conscience Will not
prevent his being robbed at every oppor-
tunity, and shame will not restrain the
claim to his seat, in defiance Of repeated

WindstOrms

Oskaloosa has been suffering from
severe windstorms since 2 o'clock
last night, when the remnants of the
great wind that caused the awful
disaster at Galveston, Texas, passed
over the state. During the forenoon
the windstOrm that has been sweep
ing down from the northwest struck
this part of the state and things have
been very blustery and decidedly
dusty since. There has been con-
siderable damage to shade trees,
chimneys and roofs over the city.
A tree was blown down near the Nor
ris property at the corner of First
street and Fourth avenue. 1t crashed
against the side of the house and
damaged it and the roof consider
ably. A large tree was blown down
at the Durfee property, occupied by
Q. H. Sandvos g. family, but no great
damage was done.

MAY BE INNOCENT.
Robert Davenport in Prison for
Another's Crime.

Mart 0'Day was arrested at What
Cheer Monday on a warrant issued
from the court of Justice Ross to
answer to the alleged shooting of
Marion Thompson on December IS,
last, near the crossing of the Iowa
Central with First avenue.
1t will be remembered that Marion
Thompson was held up at the corner
of the old Louis Frank shop and shot
in two places by the rufians. Arrests
followed and Robert Davenport and
Walt Hartgraves we're arrested for the
crime, went to the district court, and
there Davenport was found guilty by
the jury and sent to the penitentiary
for a term of five years. He endeav-
ored to show an alibi as his defense,
but the nature of the defense had
little weight with the jury and the
defendant was sent to prison pro-
testing his innocence of the crime
charged.
There have been a number of per-
sons al work on the case since on
account of the efforts of Davenport's
wife, who Is certain of his innocence.
There has been additional evidence
developed through her work and the
county attorney has consented to the
prosecution of the case on it's merits.
An effort was made several months
ago to have a warrant issued by
Justice Ross but he would not con-
slider the caseEon the evidence then
on hand. The case has been develop
ing, however, and the arrest of Mart
o'Day athWhat Cheer, is the result
of the warrant issued.
1t is claimed that there r six or
eight new witnesses in the Ease and
the new evidences goes something to
this effect: 1 to-day came to this city
from Ottumwa and went to a certain
house in the city. He made the re-
mark several times, and within the
hearing ofsthe witnesses that he was
strappedHand had to make a raise
that night, and that he was going to
do it some wayIorlanother. He went
out a little. before the time of the
shooting and Immediately afterwards
some one was heard running down
the walk from the direction of the
shooting. 3 He burst into the house
