MOTHERS WISHES ovERRULED.
Daughter Allowed to Remain With
Those who Refriended Her.

BALTIMORE, Aug L1Judge Harlan, in
the Court of Common Pleas today. de
cided that a phhaaihropic woman who
had taken care of q. child for four years
had better right to that child than its
own mother. "a ~,
The point was brought out in a habeas
corpus case, which has some unusual
features. Four wears ago the Fresh Air
Society sent Carrie Osterkamp, child
of twelve years,s-te the, nome of Mr.. and
Mrs Gathering Baker, at Colesville, Mont
go:nery County, fora stay, of a few days.
The child liked it SO well that she wanted
to stay longer, and Mrs. Baker was so
well pleased with Carrie that she was
willing to keep her. Mrs. Osterkamp
made no objection and Carrie has re-
manned there ever since. the Bakers feed
ing, clothing, and taking care Of her.
In the meantime, Carrie reached an age
at which she could be of use to her
mother, and the latter tried to get her
to come home again. but Carrie liked the
country better and refused to leave her
Montgomery County home. Mrs. Baker
sided with the child. so Mrs. Osterkamp
sued out a writ of habeas corpus to re-
cover her daughter. The testimony today
indicated pretty conclusively that the
girl is better off in the country than she
would be in the house at 1i47 West Pratt
Street, which her mother occupies in
common with five or Six other families.
Carries pleasing appearance and polite
manners also spoke well of the treat
ment she received at the Baker house
hold, and so she was allowed to have
her own wish and go back there.

THE TAX ON STOCK SALES.
Director of the New, York ConsoH-
dated Enchanyp Makes n Test.

u
NEW YORK, Aug. .-f.-tieorge c. Thorn
as. director of the Consolidated Stock
and Petroleum ExohaIs aIsee. viii be ar
rested at noon tombrrow by Col. f. c.
Thompson, United States internal revenue
agent. at the latteBs office, $50 Nassau
Street. He will be charged with violating
the section of the war revenue that i'm
poses a stamp on the sale of stock at
the rate of cents nerSioO of face value
Mr.. Thomas has offered himself up
for the benefit of his fellow-members of
the Consolidated Exchange, to make
test of this section of the law, on the
ground that the tax is unconstitutional,
in order to supply the basis for prose-
cution. He has been neglecting ever since
May % to stamp his memoranda of sales
of stocks. The law provides that viola
tors of the section in question shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof shall pay fine
of not less than $500 nor more than $1,000.
or be imprisoned not more than six
months, or both, at the discretion of the
court
1t is quite possible that Mr.. Thomas has
made 1000 sales of stocks since May q
which if considered as separate offences,
would apparently make him liable to
fines aggregating s1,O3O, 900, or imprison-
ment for 500 years, or both. Mr.. Thomas
said he would be on hand at noon tomor-
row to be arrested and the colonel will
take him over to the office of United
States Commissioner Shields in the Post
office Building, where he will be ar
raigned.

CONVICTED OF BRIBE-TAKING.
Bissert. the New York Ward Man,
Found Guilty.

NEW YORK, Aug 1.-George Bissert.
ward man of the Fifth Street police sta
tion, on trial before Recorder Gon in
General Sessions. was declared guilty this
evening of accepting bribe of $3.50 on
September 20, 1900. from the keeper of
disorderly house In his precinct. At the
request of Bisserts counsel, the recorder
RESERVED sentence until next Wednesday,
remanding the prisoner meanwhile. The
penalty is not more than ten years i'm
prisonment or $500 fine, or both The
jury was cut two hours.
a crowd of persons, officially and un-
officially connected with the police de-
partment heard the verdict They had
packed the courtroom all day. Captain
Diamond, of the Fifth Street station;
Alderman Fleck, who was recently ac-
quilted of running a disordery house,
and Bi sserts s father, who was formerly
a ward man, and is now said to be well
off, were three of the most interested
spectators in the courtroom. A murmur
of dismay swept over the audience when
the verdict was announced.
Mr.. Cnger moved to have the verdict
set aside as being contrary to the evil
dence and contrary to -ksw. 1t was urf-
derstood that conviction was on the sec
ond ballot. the first being seven for ac-
quittal and five forconviction. One juror
said that Bissert's own testimony had
done most to convict him.

DELAYED THE ExCURsIoNIsTs.
Accidents to Two Engines Cause
Late Arrivals Home.

AS the result of two of the large
girles on the Chesapeake Beach Railroad
breaking down last night several hundred
excursionists' to the bay did not reach.
their respective homes until late hourf
this morning
The train which met with the mishap
was the 10 o clock express, which leaves
the Beach at 10 o'clock, and, barring ac-
cident, should reach the point where the
passengers are transferred to the electric
cars, about a mile from the junction, at
IL o'clock. Promptly on time, it pulled
out from the Beach .1ast night but had
not gone farther than Owens station, Md,
which is only a few miles from the re-
sort. when the engineer discovered that
his engine had dropped it's CRATE. The
only thing fer him to do then was to put
out his fires and make repairs, which he
did.
In the meantime an extra engine which
the officials of the road keep on hand in
case of accident short distance above
Ow=ns was brought down and coupled on
to the train. Then the broken engine
was side tracked
The second engine started off at a rapid
gait. and the passengers were delighted
AT the bright prospects of reaching home.
when suddenly the train stopped and the
passengers We're Informed that the engine
had blown out its cylinder. Despite the
aeci1ent. which was uuavoida bic one
the passengers in the coaches maintained
their good hunor, and but few unpleas-
ant remarks were heard.
The conductor of the belated train then
sent word to the railroad company's
roundhouse, which is located few miles
the otter side OF the Junction. and after
a wait a fresh engine hove into sight,
to the joy Of the excursonists. During
the period the disabled train lay at Owens
eleven of the Columbia, Railway cars were
backed IN at the transfer point. waiting
for the arrival of the express. The cleo
trio cars were sent to the transfer sta
tion at II O'Clock and waited from that
time uD until o'clock this morning be
fore they secured their passengers
The first intimation the officials of the
street railway received of the break
down was shortly after u O'Clock. when
they received Il telephone message from
the Beach officials asking that the cleo
trio cars be kept at the transfer station
until the express arrived
Many Of the passengers We're especially
pleased at the determined effort made by
the Beach railroad employees to land the
bcIated excursionists in the city as soon
as possible.

ENDORSED THE PAINTERS.
Mount Vernon Assembly Upheld by
knights of Labor.

At a regular meeting of District Assem-
bly, No. 66. knights of Labor, last night
resolutions We're adopted endorsing Mount
Vernon Assembly of Painters as the only
organized body of resident painters in the
District of Columbia, and commencing
its members to the business public.
The resolutions were prompted by a
recent statement that the Central Labor
Union had declared the Brotherhood of
Painters and Decorators, affiliated with
that body to be the foremost organiza-
tion of the craft in Washington. A walk
out of painters and decorators resulted
at the new Wizards Hotel on Monday,
when members OF both organizations were
engaged in work there.

SCHLEY'S REQUEST DENIED.
The Objectionable Language in the
Precept TO Remain.
His Letter Asking for Modification
Together with One Outlining
the Position OF the Navy Depart
ment to BE Laid Before the Court.

The Navy Department has declined to
modify or amend the fifth paragraph of
the precept prepared for the guidance OF
the Court of Enquiry, as requested by
Admiral Schiey IT is held that tie Ian
guage as originally adopted must stand
making a it does the direct charge that
Schley, disobeyed the orders or the &c
partment.
The matter was settled yesterday morn
ing by the Acting Secretary, Mr.. Hackett,

in. New Hampshire and found the Schiey
letter awaiting his action. Not only have
the authors of the precept refused to
make any change in the wording of the
document, but in Mr.. Hackett's reply to
Admiral Schley the statement is boldly
made that the question of his disobedl-
ence of the orders of the department is
regarded as an accomplished fact; that
he did not comply with the instructions
of the department is set down as fact
without qualification.
The correspondence in the case was
made public yesterday The letter of Ad-
miral Schley requesting change in the
paragraph is as follows:
