A Bold Theft.

Mr.. Theodore Corner. oiGr eenberry
Point, Third district, while standing
htched to telegraph pole on Main street,
near Bells tailoring store, was uncere-
moniously driven off by some unknown
person about noon today. Mr.. Corner
was making some purchases at the time
in store near by and when he brought
his packages to put them in the
dayton, he found his team gone. He
Immediately made inquiry in the neigh
borhood, out no one could give him any
clue as to the party. MIR. Corner then
reported the matter to the Chief of Police
who reported it to the detective depart
ment OF Baltimore and Washington. Mr.
Corner was very much disconnected over
the affair, and said il was the first time
he ever had anything OF the kind happen

FIRST DAYS SESSION.

The Court of Inquiry appointed by
Secretary Long TO investigate the con-
duct OF Admiral w. 5. Schley met at the
Washington Navy Yard Yesterday.
Admiral Schey challenged the eligi.
biliiy OF Admiral II. l.. Howison to
serve as a member OF the court. alleging
that he was biased and had expressed
opinions on the merits OF the case.
Admiral Howison submitted written
statementin Ia reply to the challenge, alleg-
ing that he had no interest in the case
except the good OF the service. Three
witne sses were introduced to prove that
he had made statements uniavorable TO
Admiral Sohley.,
Admiral George Dewey. president OF
the court, and Admiral Benham, his as
sis,ant on the court, sustained Admiral
Schley's challenge, and Admiral Howl.
son was relieved from further attendance
on the court. II is reported That Rear
Admiral Joseph n. Miller has been Sc
lected as the third member OF the court
in place OF Admiral Howison.
Attorney-General Isidor Rayner, OF
MARYLAND, one OF Admiral Schley's coun-
sci, made the argument on Admiral Howl
SON S eligibility. and it is largely due to
the lucidity and the forcetulness Of his
statements that the court found Admiral
Howison not qualified to serve. Counsel
Tor Admiral Schley conducted their case
with notable ability, and the bearing OF
Admiral Schley himself in making the
challenge and throughout the session OF
the court was such as 10 win the admlra-
ton OF all present.
In making the challege Admiral Schley' S
manner was courteous and consldeTate,
and, while his voice was clear and a
tone OF firmness rang IN every sentence,
there was nothing combatative in his
bearing and nothing TO excite antagonism,
A conservative and dignihed tone charac'
terized the manner OF his counsel. The
leading part before the court was taker
by Mr.. Isidor Rayner, who displayed
| tact and ability in dealing with the mos
delicate situation that is likely to develop
during the inquiry.
Mr.. Rayner's examination Of witnesses
and his arguments were of a character tC

intense earnestness, he showed consider

ton of that year, which did away with
the single Judge system and was still on

The country was thrown into intense

that the Presidents condition was critical
and that sudden change had taken
place for the worse. and that the Presi-
dent was fast sinking.
The news caused the greatest alarm,
and the telegraph and telephone offices
were besieged by anxious inquirers. -
Extras appeared on the street, giving
the most alarming and exaggerated ac-
counts of the Presidents condition, and
it was only a matter of few hours. 1t
was thought, before the President would
pass away.
Later information, however, was re-
ceived, greatly modifying these exagger-
ated reports. which stated that while
there was an uniavorable change in the
Presidents condition during the night,
it was not alarming or considered critical.
