ed in Question in u. S. Court.

RICHMOND, Va. February 14.-Argu-
ment in the case of John E. Brickhurst agt.
c. 7. Brooks and William Jessop, Norfolk
county election officials, was begun in the
United States circuit court yesterday after
noon.
Brickhurst, disfranchised negro is suing
the officials for 5000 and in his suit at
tacks the validity of the constitution of
Virginia. The new constitution went into
effect July 10. 1902 and since that time
it has been assailed many times by persons
who, claiming citizenship in the United
States. avow their right to vote
At the outset Brickhurst was represented
by two negro lawyers, Carter & Hayes,
but afterward Capt. John s. Wise was en-
gagged as associate counsel and will be
present during the hearing of the case.
Attorney General Anderson and Frank w.
Christian, attorneys for the state, have filed
demurrer, challenging the suficiency of
the declaration and have entered a plea
which sets forth at length all the facts
connected with the passage of the disfran-
chisement law.

Remarkable Voyage Of Schooner.

The four-masted schooner Edwin R.
Hunt, which was reported lost fully two
months ago, has arrived in Hampton roads,
weather beaten and SCARED, after a six
months battle with the. ocean. The Hunt
sailed from Cape Breton for Chester, Pa,
with a cargo of lumber. Bad luck accom-
panied the schooner on the outset of the
voyage, as she had to put into Halifax,
Nova Scotia, for repairs soon after start
ing on her trip. She sailed again, and then
disappeared as utterly as if she had never
existed for about four months, during which
time she was given up as lost. She finally
reached Porto Rico, storms having driven
her many miles off her course and long
continued Gains preventing her from reach
ing port. She took on fresh provisions and
water at Porto Rico and arrived at Hamp-
ton roads in safety Next week it is hoped
she will reach Chester the end of her voy-
age. The schooner is well known at this
port, where she brought cargOes OF ice for
several seasons in succession.

MUST BE RENoMINATED.
Names of Canal Commission Not Be-
fore the Senate.

That the President had not sent TO the
Senate this session the nominations of the
isthmian canal commissioners escaped the
notice Of the Senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals until the other day. The COM
missioners failed of confirmation last ses-
sion and they were given recess appoint
ments. These appointments expired on the
first Gay of the present session of Congress
and could only be renewed by the President
again sending them to the Senate This
he did not do, and the commissioners have
been serving without authority of law 1t
IS likely that the President will send the
nominations to the Senate, dating them on
the first day Of the session.

Schooner Huddell Reported Safe.

The Washington owned schooner Jennie
Huddell is not lost, as she is reported to
have sailed from Delaware Breakwater
Monday on her way to New York. The
schooner sailed from Norfolk for New York
with cargo of lumber more than a month
ago. About three weeks ago she was re-
ported at the breakwater, and also to have
sailed. From that time all trace of her
was lost. Her owners in this city had heard
nothing from Capt. Jones. the master of
the vessel, and the firm in New York to
whom the lumber on the schooner was as
signed had heard nothing from her. Days
passed and every one interested IN her had
given her up for lost when the announce
,ment was made that the schooner had
sailed from the breakwater Saturday on
hersway to New York. This iss all the in
formation her owners have about the
schooner.

CAUGHT BY A DEPUTY SHERIFF

NEW YORK, February Thames Mich
olas Gallatin, the son of line of distin-
guished men, the principal in a divorce, and
the bridegroom on February 4. at Provi-
dence, r. l., of Ida, the daughter of the
late CAP Adams, the policy king, was
placed under arrest by deputy sheriff
on Saturday as he was about to sail for
Europe on his honeymoon with his young
bride.
The fact became public last night, when
the story of the arrest of the young man
as he was leaving the Majestic Hotel at
o'clock in the afternoon, after having
missed his steamer, was told.
The arrest was made on an order issued
late Friday afternoon by Justice Green
baum of the supreme court, upon applica-
ton by Isidor Cohen and John Burman,
lawyers for Ethel Kelley, chorus girl
in the Little Cherub' company, who as
serted that they believed that he was
about to leave the country and would
avoid a writ in the chorus girls suit to
recover $4,000 from him for breach Of

Has a Bushel of Love Letters.

''She has bushel of love letters. Many
of these have been placed in evidence. Why,
he wrote her only the day before his mar
riage to Ida Adams, and there was moth
ing in the letter to give the poor girl the
slightest intimation Of the blow that was
about to fall on her. OF course, she loved
him. She loves him yet.
"She believes that he is under a spell
that he was under the spell of this woman
when he married her with SO little time for
preparation. Gallatin had taken my daugh-
ter about for months previous to his mar
riage to this woman, introducing her as
Mrs. Gallatin among his friends, and it has
been a sad blow to the poor girl, to be
treated thus before her friends

Gallatin Hid From Them.

Miss Kelley and Deputy Sheriff Terry
went to the Hotel Majestic, where the
bridal couple came with their many trunks
after the brilliant ceremony at Providence.
Inquiry at the office of the hotel verified
their belief that Gallatin and his bride
were there. The under sheriff and the
chorus girl went to the bridal suite on the
seventh floor, but when they summoned
young Gallatin there was no response.
Believing that he had been warned of
their approach from the Office by tele-
phone, the chorus girl and the deputy
sheriff went to the street One took up
stand at the main entrance and the other
at the side entrance to await the coming
of the bridegroom. They fingered until
100 am. Then Miss Kelley had to take
train for Boston, where her company
was to open on Monday. The deputy
sheriff, armed with a photograph of Gala
tin and body attachment issued by Justice
Greenbaum, kept on watch and, as the
young bridegroom emerged, with firm
belief that the coast was clear, promptly
grabbed him.

Bride Signs Galatians Bond.

The story of the arrest is told by Mrs.
c. W. Kelley, mother of the chorus girl.
She said that young Gallatin was taken to
the Office of Sheriff Hayes, which ordinarily
closes at 3:45 o'clock in the afternoon.
Usually prisoner arriving after that time
is sent to the Ludlow street jail to await q
bondsman in the morning. In this case
young Gallatin was permitted to sit In the
office, while his young bride made arrange
ments with surety company for bond
of 5000. She herself signed the bond
freeing her husband, and they left together
shortly after 6 o'clock.
He is bound to answer the suit brought
by the chorus girl within twenty days, and
meantime his honeymoon tour waits. Gal
latin himself could not be found last night.
Neither could employees of the sheriff's
office be found to verify the remarkable
story of his arrest and explain the secrecy
which accompanied it.
The chorus girls suit for breach of prom
Use filed in the Supreme Court the day
following the sudden marriage Of Gallatin
to the young heiress to large part of the
estate of ZAP Adams.
He had been my daughters sweetheart
for many years." said Mrs. Kelley last
night. Mrs. Kelley is mother-in-law of
Dan McAvoy, the comedian, the latter
having married Georgia Kelley of Broad
way fame.

Times comments with much Justice:
The time has come when the people

tired of riding in Ill ventilated cars,

being bumped along on flat wheels on
local trains and of paying more for the
service than the through passenger.
