On last Monday Mr.

Graham announced to the court that he did not deem it wise to submit further testimony, in view of the fact that Smith was to be tried the following day, and that there was a possibility that the interests of justice might be bettered by a postponement of the investigation until after the trial of Smith. Judge -Audenried, however, continued Smith's trial until the next term of court, which begins on Monday next, and the general impression has been that the investigation would not be taken up until Smith's trial had taken place. No definite time has been fixed for the trial, and under the circumstances, it is thought, the District Attorney believes that it would not be proper to delay the investigation anv longer. It was rumored late yesterday afternoon that warrants had been issued for the arrest" of certain persons implicated in the bribery, but no knowledge as to the truth of this could be ascertained at the District Attorney's office. Assistant District Attorney Finletter, who is associated with Mr.

Graham in the investigation, said he had not heard of any warrants being issued, and. if they had been it was not likely the news would be given out untd the parties were in custody or before the court. THE LICENSE COURT Liquor Dealers Continue to File Their Affidavits No announcement has yet been made as to when the License Court will make public the result of its deliberations on the applications and remonstrances heard at its recent sessions. -Judges Biddle and Arnold went into consultation on Wednesday and after a laborious day succeeded in considering all the cases in the first sixteen wards. Yesterday they diligently proceeded with the work and when they stopped for the day all cases up to and including the Twenty-sixth ward had been fully considered.

The Judges will continue daily with their consideration until the entire list of applications, remonstrances and affidavits are disposed of. As a result of the decision handed down by the court on Tuesday last numerous retail dealers have filed affidavits to the effect that they never had or do not now hold any stock or interest whatever in any place other than the one which they applied for, and particularly not in any brewing company. Other affidavits have also been filed setting out that the applicants did own such interests, but had ais-posed of the same since the order of the court. YOUNG AMERICANS CHEERED Unfurling of the National Flag in Wharton Square Without any ostentatious display, and greeted only by the cheers of Young Americas. Old Glory was unfurled to the breeze yesterday afternoon at Wharton and Wharton streets.

Flying from the top of a great pole the flag can now be 6een squares away. Because several hundred shrubs and ilowor-ing plants had been recently placed in the square it wns decided not to hold any special exercises, for fear that the crowds might trample down the tender shoots. The fact that the flag was to be raised quickly became known to the children of the neighborhood, however, and when the gardener, who hauled it up, was ready he had to make his way through several hundred youngsters. The colors were quickiy run to the top of the staff, and with a sharp pull of the halyards the Stars and Stripes floated -to the breeze, to the accompaniment, of the cheers of the little ones pmpt let- or hster- Judge Townsend, in the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, has sustained the Welsbach Light Company's Patent and granted an injunction.

This event in itself marked an epoch in the history of local Presbyterianism and naturally the big building was crowded with the most representative of the laity and clergy throughout the afternoon and evening. The handsome interior was made even more resplendent by the effect of hundreds of electric lights and in many rooms the walls were relieved with great KianVa nf dotted nlants. The opening exercises, which commenc ed exactly at clocK, were at once dignified and simple. Judge R. N.

Willson, as president of the Board of Publication, presided and made a few introductory re-itwrL-a T-pcrnrdine the new building. Then followed a reading from the Scriptures by Rev. Dr. W. Greene, the vice-president of the board, and a prayer offered bv Rev.

Dr. Craven, secretary of the board. Alter a nymn rraniuin i. SihennarH chairman of the Business Com- mittpp; maHe an address and was followed by Rev. Dr.

Charles Wood, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church. The exercises were brought to a close by the singing of a hvmn and the pronouncing of the benediction by Rev. Dr. William M. Rice? recording clerk of the Board of Pub- i ra 1 1 rm Beginning last night the roof of the building will be illuminated with 400 elec tric lights ana win ue a un-iug nui-w Billy Penn.

In fact, the day was marked by a greater degree of non-activity than any since the two crashes came.

Receiver Barlow, of the bank, -was kept busy with his duties as Assistant District Attorney; in aiding in the prosecution of the boy murderer Henderson. Assignees XJlay and. Kemble, of the Guarantors', Tpent a good portion of the djay. at the offices of that institution, but both sent ont the phrase "nothing in response to the newspapers men's requests for information. Richard F.

Loper spent the morning at the law offices of his counsel, Senator Grady, but declined to be interviewed. Later in the day the two went to the Guarantors' orhce, where they held a consultation with President Cooper, the assignee, and Secretary H. V. Knorr. Following this Assignee Clay said: "We are striving as quickly as possible to prepare a statement of the assets of the company, and when it is completed Mr.

Loper has assured us that he will do all in his power to locate and realize upon the assets, and give every possible assistance in determining the value of the same. The long corridor leading to the offices of tbe People's Bank was practically deserted all day. The Real Estate Trust Company is now the centre of most that is going on in connection with the bank, the latter's assets all being there. It was stated yesterday thtft the liquidation of claims against the People's would probably begin early next week or immediately following the appointment of a permanent receiver, who will doubtless be Mr. Barlow.

The probability of more criminal prosecutions in connection with the failure of the two financial institutions was admitted yesterday, but an emphatic denial was made to statements that the warrants for the arrests had already been issued. The condition of President McManes was considerably improved yesterday, although he ia, under instructions from his physicians, remaining quietly at home, seeing no visitors. Richard F. Loper was visible during the afternoon and in response to a request for -telephone connection with his house "Central" replied that the wire had been temporarily ordered taken out. PUBLIC BEQUESTS Baptist Institutions Remembered.

Wills Probated and Letters Granted The will of the late Elizabeth E. Abbot was admitted to probate yesterday, disposing of an estate valued at $50,000. The sum of $500 is bequeathed to each of the. American Baptist Union, the Baptist Home Mission Society, the Baptist Publication Society, the Baptist Home and the American Baptist Historical Society. The late Samuel L.

Gabel, whose will was also probated, left an estate valued at $35,000, and after the death of his sister $0000 is to go to the Bethany Orphans' Home, of omelsdorf. $1000 to the Zion Evangelical Church, at New Berhnville, and 1000 to the liaptist Orphanage, of this city. The other wills probated, together with the value of the estates, were as follows: Elias J. Molineaux, Philip Lewin, Michael A. Quinn, $6700; Mary S.

Snow, $5300; J. H. F. Merkel, $3600. Letters of administration were granted in these estates: Thomas Halton, Matthew Rogers, Hettie Thompson, $S500; John J.

Molony, $4500, and Richard F. Currie, $3000. These inventories of personal estates were filed: Joseph Curtis, Robert C. Matlack, Horace P. James Grace, $1907.14, and W.

F. Gantner, $1857.23. HE WAS EXONERATED Evidence Showed Tnat Wisner Had Not Caused the Woman's Death Edward Wisner, who lives in the rear of 925 Reed street, walked out of the Coroner's office yesterday a much relieved man, for he had been exonerated of having caused the death of Ida M. Alcorn, aged 29, who had lived at his house. The woman's death was due to natural causes, but the man who signed himself as "Charles Goodhlud, a neighbor," sent a letter to the Coroner stating that he believed the woman had been murdered.

Detective Woodrow was detailed to make an investigation and his discoveries showed that there was no truth in the charges made in the letter.

In one corner of the room a chorus led by Councilman McCurdy kept the air full of harmony, such choruses as these floating out on the air from time to time: Hail, hail, the gang's all What the 1 do we care! What the 1 do we care! At one stage of the proceedings Dr. Morton added to the hilarity by purchasing several quarts of beans and having them hurled down from both galleries.

At this juncture things were so lively that President Hartman threatened to send for a squad of reserves. ORDINANCES PASSED. Amid confusion the Twenty-eighth ward school bill, in which Mr. Rose scored such a brilliant victory in the upper chamber, was defeated by indefinite postponement. The Time and Weather service ordinance also passed under the same conditions.

Before the rioting reached its height the chamber had a brief debate over the ordinance to reduce pawnbrokers' monthly charges from 5 to 2 per cent, per month. Messrs. Smith and Mercer favored tbe ordinance, and Messrs. Abrahams, Crea-dick and McAllister made pleas in behalf of the "'poor money lenders." The pawnbrokers won, the bill being indefinitely postponed by a vote of 75 to 30. The chamber right after this either had a spasm of yirtue or else had a deep laid scheme that failed to work.

The week before the Highway bill was beaten on final passage. The bill contained a provision for paving a street in which Mr. Stevenson was interested and when it was defeated it was taken as a rebuke to Mr. Stevenson for having exposed the Water bill bribers. On motion of Mr.

Warren, seconded by Mr. Van Osten, this vote was Dr. Morton then tried to get the chamber to go into committee of the whole so Mr. Stevenson's street could be stricken out. This scheme failed and the bill was finally passed.

Afterwards it was approved by Select Council. Among the other more important ordinances passed were to condemn a lot of ground for school purposes, in Tacony, Thirty-fifth ward, and condemn buildings 429-431 Race street, Sixth section, for school purposes. COMFORT FOR THE AGED Opening of the New Home for Old Men in West Philadelphia The new building of the Old Man's Home, at Thirty-ninth and Baring streets, was opened yesterday with exercises by the Board of Managers, of which Mrs. George H. McFadden is president.

She is said to be donor of the structure. After an inspection of the structure addresses were made by Bishop O. W. Whitaker, Rev. Dr.

W. II. McCaughey, Rev. Dr. J.

G. Walker. Judge William N. Ashman, Rev. Dr.

Rice and Rev. Dr. Henry. The new building is of plain brick, four stories high and constructed more with the idea of comfort than architectural beauty. On the ground floor there is a reception and matrons' room, with large dining room, on the second story there are seventeen bed rooms, the third floor contains nineteen sleeping apartments, while on the fourth floor are the work rooms.

The basement is fitted up for kitchens, laundry and steam heating apartments. The total cost is $50,000. New Home for a Free Library The removal of the Germantown Free Library froui Vernon Hall to the Wlster House Is expected to be made within a few weeks. Carpenters are now putting in the shelving, aud as soon as this is completed the books will be arranged and the building thrown open to the public.

tution of a "minority report for that of a majority." ROSE'S BIG VICTORY. The session had scarcely, gotten under way when President Miles announced for final consideration the proposed ordinances relative to the purchase of ground for school purposes in the Twenty-eighth ward. In addition to the regular report of the Committee on to which was attached an ordinance providing for the purchase of a lot at Thirty-first street and Lehigh avenue for thtre was a minority report, and an ordinance providing for the purchase of a lot at Thirty-first and Huntingdon streets. From the spirit that had been displayed when the same subject was before the Property Committee of the Board of Education, it was anticipated that a protracted debate would be precipitated if the subject were allowed to come up, and the initiative was taken by Selectman Patton, who moved to recommit the first ordinance to the committee. Mr.

Harris moved to lay the whole matter on the table. Some parliamentary discussion followed as to what would be the effect of the motion if passed, and President Miles decided that it would carry both the majority and minority ordinances with it. At this Mr. Rose gained the floor and made a most impassioned appeal against any such dilatory tactics being resorted to. The matter had already been thoroughly discussed, he explained, and everybody was familiar with it.

It was time, he ar gued, that Councils should make some decision between the two propositions. The property recommended by the minority ordinance contains 12.9G0 more square feet than the other and is even more desirably located for a school building. The Board of Education has recommended it and the people of the ward favor it. He also displayed surveys and photographs of both sites, to show by comparison the advantages of the one over the other. CLOSING HOURS.

A vote was taken immediately after he had finished, and the amendment was lost, whereupon Mr. Lamond, chairman of the School Committee, arose to champion the motion for recommitment. A numbe- of speeches followed. Mr. Fourier declared that 90 per cent, of the citizen would favor the Thirty-first and Huntmedon streets site, and that every d.iy of delay means but so much longer of the advantages of education to the 1G0O children who are now on half time and -the 4O0 children for whom there is no room at all.

Mr. Huey looked upon the matter as cne of clean business, simply a quest'on of buving 50 per cent, more area, just a desirable as the other, at the same price. Mr. McCoach and Mr. Harris ararudn favor of recommitment, after which the motion was lost by a vote of 9 to 17.

Mr. Harris then moved to substitute the minority report and ordinance for that of the majority, which was agreed to. after which the former was finally passed by a vote of SO to 0. Considerable discussion followed the calling up of an ordinance prov'din for tVe extension of Star Garden Park, at Sixth and streets, and authorizing the City Solicitor to notify property owners that the property will be icouired for public use. The ordinance, which -was passed, will involve a probable expenditure of 50.000, which is justified is a liumaTio and philanthropic work.
