COurtmartial Proceedings Were Re
 sumed Again To-Day.
 Annapolis. Md. Jan 2.-The court martial proceedings against Midship- man Stephen Decatur, jr, Portsmouth. l. \. H.. charged with the hazing Of Midshipman Isaac \. McCrary of Tex as. and Gaylord Church of PeDnsyl- vania. both fourth class men. were continued today. Decatur going on the stand in his own defense.
 Decatur denied absolutely all rhe statements of McCrary and Church which incriminated him. The court is thus left to decide between the tes- timony under oath of the upper and lower cIassmen Other witnesses were introduced to bear out the defense's theory that the prosecuting witnesses were mistaken as 10 who had hazed them.
 Decatur's case is attracting great attention and a desperate effort is be ing made to save him. He is great grandson of the famous naval hero Of the same name and stands number six in studies in the class which will grad nate next month. He has some very powerful friends who are willing 10 help him in every way. Admiral Dew ey is relative. but little help can be expected from this source if Decaru,r is convicted.

 Doing Business.

Things are moving along in the same old way at the City hall building to- day. just the same as if nothing un- usual had taken place there since rhe opening of the new year.

Mayor Thoms was at his post to-day prepared to carry out to the best of his ability his plans 10 give the city frst-class administration for the next two years. Collector Reeves is down 10 business in his new office, with his sister as clerk Mrs Jarvis is out Of town. but she is expected to re turn and resume her old position as clerk in the collectors office. Clerk Bass is holding down the desk in the office Of the department of charities, but he doesn't know how much longer he will be there. and one wouldn't think by the way he acts that he was worrying over his fate IL was said today. not officially though. that James F. Morris will succeed Mr At wood as superintendent Of the town poor. and that if John Crary wants to he will be given an opportunity to do the cierking instead of Mir Bass.
 It was rumored about town today that some of the republicans have be- come conscience stricken over how they used John F. Hackett last night, and il is said that they may reconsider their action al the next meeting and accede to the wish of City Clerk Sand
