The Baltimore Sun from Baltimore, Maryland • 4

THE SUN. BALTIMORE. FRIDAY. FEB. 4.

ISM. nOXETAIlY AND COMMERCIAL. The market for Government bond a was more steady yesterday, and the long-date issues recovered a portion oi the late decline. On tha local Board 4 per cents sold at 112 'A, and at the anal call in Mew York an advance of was recorded. The closing quotations for 4 per cents were for registered and regular coupon, and H2jail2; for small coupon bonds.

The movements la general business have been more or less restricted by the severe weather in the past few days, and in all departments of trade the opening of the Spring season is delayed. There Is no serious obstruction to transportation ou either inland or seagoing lines, but the anticipation of delay, and perhaps danger, prevents the free execntlon of orders. The export trade is moderate, owing partly to the reason given above and partly to the want of a liberal ottering of freight room. The supply of money in the loaa market continues abundant, and rates on good collateral are 4a5 per cent. Discounts- are quoted at with a very limited offering of commercial paper.

Tha Baltimore stock market was dull yesterday, with a dragging feeling throughout almost the, entire list. Virginias were heavy, and Consols sold down about 2 per cent, closing 77a77J against 78'a7J on Wednesday. The 10-40 were atlected In a minor degree, and alter sales at S17 and 51 closed 51fa 51 against 61 Tax coupons aro very steady, and other issues were dull and nominal. City bonds are neglected at tho moment, partly owing to the difficulty in obtaining any supply. Railroad shares were more quiet than for some days past.

Baltimore and Ohio common are steady at l'Jl bid and lii asked. Northern Central sold at for an odd lot. and closed ottered at 48H against on Wednesday. Western Maryland was less strong, aud closed nominal at lSalSV. ilarleni Stage stock was quoted til hid and 75 asked.

Tbe transactions in bonds were moderate, and the record of prices very bleady both lor Investments and Bpecula-ti ves. spike teams and dome tandem. Some of the sleighs are imported from St. Petersburg or made on Russian models here, Including harness, bell-bows, horsetail plumes, streaming like a pasha's standard, These gay equipments, the great wealth of costly furs from Siberia and Alaska, the speed and mettle of the horses, the number ot the equipages, the rosy beauty of the ladies, the rare winter aspect of the park surroundings, tho breadth and length of the drives, all combined to present a vivid panorama, the seeing of which was well worth a few hours' exiosure to the chance of snow-bitten ears. The brilliancy and dash of some ot the Russian sleighs fully realized one's ideal of the Christmas carousal on the Nevskol prospect.

With these elegant accessories, is it surprising that Gotham should be on runners, and enjoying escape from down-town obstructions on the clear road in the exhilarating sport of a sleighing carnival? N. E. F. Allejrod Fraudulent Lite Insurance l'olieies. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.l Westminster, Feb.

3, 1881. The hearing of Alonzo It. Koontz and John F. Starner, charged with procuring fraudulently a policy on the life of Saml. Young, took place yesterday before Justice Gr.

W. Crapster, in this city. D. N. Henning appeared for the State, Hon.

Charles B. Roberts for Koontz, and Hon. John E. Smith for Starner. After investigation Starner was discharged, and Koontz held to bail for the grand jury on the charge of forgery.

Samuel Young Is a respectable ciiizen of Myer's district, and is nearly Si years of ago. He did not know Koontz at all, and never saw him imtil he (Koontz) had been put under arrest. Ho ewore that he never authorized Koontz or any one else to take out a jiolley on his life. The policy was taken out in the Southern Pennsylvania Mutual Relief Association of Hanover, York county. and as the company requires tho signature of the insured to be signed to the application for a policy, tho name of Young must have been forged.

It appeared from the testimony that Koontz took out a policy on Young for 15,000, and sold two interests in it, and had offered the last for sale to a merchant not far from this city, but afterwards told the merchant that tho policy was bogus. After Inquiring into the facts pertaining to the case in point the counsel on both sides sought to investigate the insurance business as conducted in this county, and it was ascertained that a vory large number of people were speculating in policies; iu fact life insurance policies were taken out ou people from 65 to 85 years of age and then around as merchandise, often as many as four, five and six buying an interest in one policy.

Cowen (radical! gave notice of a mot ion deprecating the use of Mr. Gladstone's resolution to curtail tho liberties of Ireland. Sir Vernon Harcourt, home secretary, replying to Mr. Parnoll, said that Mr. Davltt was arrested because his action was considered Incompatible with his ticket-of-Ieave.

Mr. Parnell asked what conditions Mr. Davltt hid violated. There was no answer to this question. The Irish members shouted "Shame!" and other members cheered tremendously.

The remarks of the premier were greeted with loud cheers. Mr. A. M. Sullivan announced that he withdrew his motion relative to the Speaker, as he refused to be a party to a farce.

Bernard Carter and J. Bonaparte, solicitors, restraining City Collector Webb from selling a vacant lot of ground on McKlm street, advertised to bo sold on Monday next, for an unpaid assessment for benefits for opening McKlm street, from Eager to Uoff man streets. The lot in question belongs to the "Little Sisters of the Poor," whose property, bounding on McKlm, John and Valley streets, was assessed $2,012 for benefits for opening McKlm street, as stated. The ordinance under which the assessment was made was passed October 16, 1876, and the proceedings of the commissioners were completed May 5, 1877. Previous to the passage of tho ordinance there was an application by petition to the city council to condemn and open McKim street from Eager to Hoffman also notice of such applicar-tlon given by advertisement in two dally papers once a week for nine weeks.

There had also been notice given of an application to open McKlm street to John street, published twice a week for the same period in two newspapers by the city comptroller, hy authority of a Joint resolution of the city council-. The ground upon which the injunction was asked for was that such publication once or twice a week for nine weeks was not a sufficient compliance with the requirement that "at least sixty days' notice" should bo given, and also that the notice was defective in not referring to Poppleton's map. An answer was filed in behalf ot the city by City Solicitor Hall, insisting that the notice of application given was not only in accordance with established usage, but In all respects a sufficient compllace with the statute. In view of the partial adjudication of the questions presented In a recent case before Judge Garey adversely to the position taken by the city, it was agreed by counsel that a pro forma Injunction should bo granted, as asked for, without argument. An appeal was immediately taken on behalf of tho city by the city solicitor, and the record will be transmitted to the Court of Appeals with the least possible delay, iu order to have an authoritative decision as Boon as practicable of a question which lias occasioned a good deal of embarrassment not only to city officials, councllmen and others, but to all persons interested in the opening of streets and the development of suburban property.

The city solicitor, while not accepting Judge Garey 's recent construction of the statute as settling the law unless affirmed by tho Court of Appeals, has declined to take the responsibility of advising in favor of the validity of proceedings conducted contrary to tho views of the judge of tho City Court, before whom such proceedings first came for review upon appeal from the street commissioners. The result la a temporary suspension of street openings.

Swan, a member of the House from Miuot, is charged with swindling the public through the mails. He has been soliciting business by circulars for the Eastern Falls Jewelry Manufacturing Company, Bicker, Rake and the Poland Manufacturing Company. He advertised a corn-sheller for $4 50, which Is simply a piece of stovepipe iron, three Inches long, and also a mowing machine and knife sharpener for $5, which is a piece of wood shaped like a file, dipped in shellac and sand, and costing two cents. Tho Jewelry swindle was equally bold. Swan represented himself to be the solo representative of all the companies, and managed to get all the letters addressed to them.

He left Augusta on Saturday last, since which time United States officers and a detective havo been on his track, but ho has not yet been captured.

3, 1881. IU Progress and Utes in Ji'cw York Broadway Street-Lighting Industrial Fetailislments and Business Houses, dtc. The visit of a committee of tho Baltimore city council to New lork to Investigate the use of the electric light affords an opportunity to present some interesting statements in regard to tho development of this Important invention In the United States. New York is the headquarters of two general companies, and Edison, whose experiments In this connection are so widely known, lives at Menlo Park, New Jersey, twenty-four miles from New York city. For a month past Broadway has been lighted from Fourteenth street to Thirty-fourth street, the distance of 20 bl.jcks.

Within this area there are 23 street-lights, on highly elevated iron lamp posts, and 17 private lights, all served by one machine. There are also several private lights from machines having the power to furnish electricity for 4 and 13 lights. W7here a gas Jet is placed In contrast with the clear arctic light of electricity it fades into Insignificance. Tho bounds of Thirteenth and Thirty-fourth street, on Broadway, take In Union and Madison Squares, which are brilliantly illuminated. Two electric lamps to a block shed effulgent light all around.

The change Is so great that tho business houses will not be willing to permit the removal of the lamps. For like purposes of demonstration Mr. Edison's company has illumiuated Menlo Park, where the results achieved may be seen from the car windows by every night passenger on the through trains between the South and the North. The Brush Company, which has lighted Broadway, is satisfied, and the managers say they have no more experiments to make. They say also that they are now putting up ten machines, capable of furnishing 40 lights to a circuit, like the one now used for Broadway.

The rivalry between several companies is as great as that between rival telephones, and, like the telephone, it would seem that electricity for illumination will soon spread a web of wires to embrace all the large industrial establishments of tho cities and towns. I have seen li6ts of users of electric light of two companies, and they embrace already several hundred of the largest industrial concerns of tho country. Among these are rolling mills, iron and steel works, machine shops, wire mills, woolen, cotton, linen and silk factories, located in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, Vermont, many large stores la various cities, hotels, summer resorts, colleges, churches, parks, docks, steamers, mines, smelting works, paper mills, match factories, printworks and various other manufacturing establishments too numerous to mention. It has been shown by Edison that he can make a lamp which will burn as well under water as In the air. For the recovery of sunken vessels and engineering operations in rivers, harbors, bays, electricity may be thus employed to light the path of science and show the way for uutold development in the future.

In industrial establishment, production may goon at nightaswell asday, for the llgutof electricity being as clear as the light of the sun, all the shades of color may be distinguished by its aid, as well as by day light. Electricians feel no apprehension as 10 ability to satisfy a vast multitude of consumers on the subject ot cost but of that hereafter. For steamboats, where there is ready power to apply to electric genoratuifr machinery, adoption of the light is rapid the same may be said of various large industrial establishments. It has been already employed in the tunnel under the Hudson river. In all underground works It is a great boon, and for building at night the economy is great, especially in cities like New York, where time is money and working night and day will bring quicker returns In rent.

New York companies have supplied works in Canada, steamers ot the Russian navy and the British royal navy. Local companies have been established or are in process of formation in Albany, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Boston, New Haven, Hartford, Philadelphia, and negotiations are on foot to start a local company in Baltimore city. It Is understood from Baltimore that Mr. Robt. Garrett has in contemplation very soon to illuminate the extensive depot buildings at Camden Station, aud perhaps also other depots of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

Next to the extensive field of industrial establishments, there is nonegreatpr than railroads for employing the resources of electricity. As to the cost of electric lighting, a machine giving one light of 1,500 candles, and requiring one and a half horses' power, may he had for $375; machines giving three lights of 2,000 candles each and requiring 3 horses" power cost $675; machines giving sixteen lights of 2,000 candles each and requiring 14 horses' power cost $2,000, and those of forty lights and 35 horses' power $3,600. Lamps costs from $30 to $90, and carbon points $6 25 a hundred. To consumers served from a central station the Brush Light Company propose to charge a dollar a light a night to individual user-t. Some Industrial establishments, having their own machines, use as many as 150 separate lights.

To equip some other establishments 500 lights would be required, and it is questionable it the cost of 50 horses power, necessary to do this amount ot work, would not be greater than the cost of using gas. There is no question of the superiority of electric light over gas where volume is needed, but gas will continue to be used as the cheaper where great illuminating power is not necessary, Just as coal oil holds its place compared with gas, or the telegraph its place for intercommunication against the more direct telephone. There are specific uses for electric lights, especially la streets, public buildings, market houses and the various establishments indicated above, but gas is liKely to remain in dwellings and many establishments. In some piaces the two may be employed together, and in other cases the electric light will be only an additional luxury. Efforts to Intro luce Itevery-where it can be used are being actively pushed, and we may soou expect the electric light to become widespread.

Capital Is abundant for any possibly remunerative industry, and money will soon test the material issue. Winter Carnival In cw York. Correspondence of tho Baltimore Suu.l New Yoek, Feb. 3, 1S81. Obstructions to lousiness Free Hcin to I'lumire IHwfcr Scenes in Central Park, Sltlgh'wg, dec.

Two aspects of New York at this season strike the stranger one, the discomforts from snow-choked streets which attend the transaotion of out-of-door business; the other, the brilliant gayety of the sleighing carnival and the height to which this exhilarating winter sport may be carried. To these could be added, also, a long list of fascinating amusements indoors, covering the programmes of over a dozen theatres, two or three art exhibitions, and many other bright and attractive things with which good people generally prepare themselves for the rigors ot the season penitential fishbones and abstinence. In the lower part ot the city ice-bound docks, biting blasts and snow-piled streets paralyze trade, though the volume of business is still very largo in spite of the Impediments which clog it. Fourteenth street, one of the broadest cross-town thoroughfares, has barricades ten feet high, ihe accumulated sweepings of tho winter from car tracks and sidewalks. The street is so blocked that the ash carts making their rounds were compelled to drive among pedestrians on the footway to collect garbage.

Street cars and omnibuses run with double teams. Long lines of vehicles pursue their way in silence over the beaten-down snow in the streets; the horses, iusteaU of ringing hoofs on chilling stones, move along as silently as joIleerneii in gum shoes, and the nolselesriness Of ail slrees traffic on Broadway is strangely in contrast with the roarol trale at Christmas. The brown-stone region, up among tho Fifties, Is a region Indeed of stlfiy frozen elegance, and beyond the Sixties the isolated mansions and Isolated urban villas of the rich look cold and ehiilins In the face of bleak, country wiuter weather, strangely in contrast Willi the cosy situation of the huddled habitations of the poor in southern exposures lower dowa town. In the midst of the driving snowstorm and biting northwest winds of Tuesday I went to Central Park to exchange the compliments of the season with tQe polar bears, who were having a picnic pretty much all to themselves, for the weather was so severe that nearly all the more shivery beasts were shut up. The polar bear aud cubs were out in open cages, and seemed to greatly enjoy the line weather.

The big bear had a chunk ot tat meat lor dinner and a cake of Ice for dessert, and a snowdrift for a downy couch. He seemed to be the only happy fellow In the menagerie. Even the buffaloes, who 6tood ready In their warm winter rotes as It awaiting an invitation to take a sleigh-ride, looked disconsolate, as their chances for an airing and a drink at the pump decreased as the aiteruoon wore on aud hundreds of people in robes not half so new or gooU as theirs flew by on the road heedless of their claims. The eagles, those "children of the sun, to whom 'tis given to guard the bannerol the free," were perched iu solemn dress parade, and dumb perhaps in reflection ou tne gravity of the charge lm-Ijosed upon them by the brilliant lines of Drake. A solitary duck broke the thin Ice on her puddle to enjoy the luxury of tho customary bath.

The tropical birds were warmly housed and mute as mice. The squawking paroquets were benumbed into silence for once in their lives; and iu the open air the only active members of the feathered trlbo were the pugnacious little English sparrows, who mails forays on the camp of their wealthy enomles aud pilfered corn unmolested under the very beak of the austere bird of liberty. They were merry enough, and drank in glee on the margin ot the puddle after the klud Mrs. Duck had broken the ice; their chief difficulty was wrestling with the corn upon which they were dining uninvited. A desolate branching antlers and moistened eyes, looked over his fence, seemingly in deen meditation on the mockery of signs forbidding the plucking of twigs and flowers, or treading on the grass, or giving directions, with a fist pointing the way -to th carousal." A few fallow deer were huddled together in a paddock adjoining.

These were all the show animals to be seen; even the omnipotent and ubiquitous policeman was shut up in the deiftvrtment labeled 'Central Park Police Station," and the monkeys rested from their labors. The only activities were the ceaseless and silent snow and the sleighs and their tinkling bells. Snow lay on the ground a foot deep in level places, and the hollows were almost filled by the drift, yet the footwalk3 were clean. On the drives there were endless streams of merry sleighing parties, whirling faster than the flying flakes which thickened the air as they fell. One or two four-ln-haud teams of spirited animals flashed by, drawing large sleighs, filled with eight or ten persons.

The New York equipage Is generally stylish. New Yorkers live near to Jerome Park, and are much ou the road, and like horseflesh. It seems to be in good taste to discard showy livery, and private coachmen mostly wear very dark blue; if we are In mourning, he has an air as solemn as a fashionable undertaker; If seen in the neigh-, borhood ot a clerical institution, he would be mistaken in his sober suit of rigid cut, forma; silk hat, black cloth-covered buttons, and Immaculate plead Illy, for a seminarian. I have mentioned the four-in-hand teams. ike swells hays ouu-jJers; v9 drive FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS-THIRD SESSION.

Be ported lor tb.e Baltimore Sun.l Washington, Feb. 3, 1SS1. SENATE. On motion Mr. Morgan, the concurrent 'resolution Introduced by him on Juno 15, 180, declaring that the President of the Senate is mot Invested by the constitution ol the United, states with the right to count the votes ot electors lor President and Vice-President of the United States, so as to determine what votes nhall be received and counted orwhatvotea shall be rejected, was taken up.

Mr. Thurman favored action on the resolution without debate, In view of the discussions heretofore had on the subject. Mr. Edmunds said that in order to test the sense ol the Senate as to whether, at this time, -with so much business pending on the calendar, It would go Into the discussion ot the question presented, he would move to lay the resolution on the table, and upon that motion he asked for the yeas and nays. A vote being here taken, the motion was rejected by a party vote yeas 22, nays 32.

Mr. Blair then moved to refer the resolution cf Mr. Morgan to the committeon the judiciary. Mr. Conkllng said as to the first feature of the resolution, namely, the right to count, he (Mr.

Conkllng) held thai the President of the Senate was bound by his oath to preserve the eertift-cates inviolate, to bring them into the presence ot the two houses and to open them. At that paint the constitution turned its back upon falm and spoke to him no longer. After arguing that that officer was merely the agent or organ of the authority from which lie derived his lunctlons. Mr. Conkllng proceeded to make clear the quasi judicial authority of the two houses to determine as to the identity and the ither characteristics of the electoral votes.

Mr. Edmunds moved an amendment so as to make the resolution read that "in me opinion of the Senate neither the Senate nor the Senate and House of Representatives, nor the President ot the Senate, is invested by the constitution with the right to tuako the count." The amendment was voted down yeas IS, nays 28, a party vote. Mr. Davis (111.) did not Mr. "Whyte, remarking that it was always embarrassing to him to differ with his party Irienus upon a question of a political or quasi political character, proceeded to refer to his record on the subject as showing that he had Invariably held to the opinion that the duty of Ihe President of the Senate was a ministerial one, and that their was a casus oinis.fis In the constitution with respect to the exercise of any judicial power In the case of two returns from a State.

He urged the duty of Congress to promptly supply me omission, and added that in voting against the resolution he would be consistent In position. then referred to and eommouted uiwn the action of the first Congress in the appointment of John Langdon as the presiding otncer for the purpose of counting the vote and its subsequent action as toeing in support ot his own views. Mr. Conkling, in reply to Mr. Whyte, took Issue wltn that Senator on the point that the count was a ministerial function, appertaining solely to the Prestdeut of tne Senate.

Mr. Blaine said he thought the resolution would meet the views of both sides of the question If It would declare who should count reject the vote. Nobody In the Senate was asserting the exercise of the right which the resolution proposed to deny. Mr. Ingalis's amendment was rejected without a division.

Mr. Morgan and Mr. Thurman replied to Mr. Elaine, the former stating that the Senate had today by a vote declined to go into the question of who had the right to count or reject the vote, and the latterreinarklng that the Senate, at the last sesslifn, had aosumod a position upon it In the Morgan rule. At 5 o'clock a vote was taken upon agreeing to the resolution, when the result showed 30 yeas to ono in the negative! Mr.

Whyte, the republicans, (except Mr. Conkllng, who voted lor the resolution,) abstaining from voting. By direction of the chair the roll was again called, pursuant to the rule, to ascertain the presence of a quorum, when forty Senators responded. Mr. Thurman asked that the names of Senators not present be taken down.

Mr. Blaine. Under what rule? That Is a request I never before heard made In the Senate. Mr. Thurman said the rules required Senators present to vote or ask to be excused, when they must state the reasons for their excuse.

At this point the indications for a protracted session were very apparent, as the minority a disposition to continue the obstructive policy inaugurated early in the day. Mr. Morgan suggested to the republican side that they relievo the democrats present from their pairs with absentees, and upon receiving no response to his suggestion moved to adjourn. Agreed to. At 5.1u the Senate adjourned.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The river and harbor bill was reported by Mr. Reagan, chairman of the commerce committee, to be printed and recommitted. It was immediately sent to the printer, and will be revised by the committee at their meeting tomorrow. The bill appropriates about $11,000,000.

The items are withheld from the press until tomorrow. Mr.Wolla, from committee on appropriations, reported back, with Senate amendments, the Indian appropriation bill, recommending' concurrence in some and non-concurrence inothers of such amendments. Among the amendments non-concurred iu is that striking out the clause abolishing the Indian commission. The report was agreed to. The House then resumed the consideration of the apportionment bill.

Mr. Cox offered an amendment fixing the number of Representatives at 307. Mr. Sherwln, a member of the census committee, took the fliior and favored the bill fixing the number of Representatives at 319. Mr.

Crowley opposed an increase of the number of Representatives In Congress. This House was the eighth largest assembly in the world. From its numbers this body was noisy, disorderly, and sometimes turbulent. Mr. Horr.

It conies so nearly to that already "that it cloes not make much difference. Mr. replying to a remark of Mr. Horr, said that It the gentleman supposed that the white voters of the Soutn meant to deprive the negroes of the right to vote he should possess his soul in patience. The South accepted In its full development the theory propounded by the gentleman from New York, (Mr.

Cox,) that the constitution of the United Slates based representation Gpon population, and past experience had given it confidence in the result of universal suffrage. There was no occasion for the gentleman to suppose that the negroes of the South, whether they be voters or Representatives, would fall below the level of the white voter or the white Representative, as he had often been found la the States of the North and upon this floor. Mr. Horr. Do yon think that the negroes ot the South have been permitted for the last six years to have a free and untrammeled ballot? Mr.

McLane. I have no idea that the negroes of the South have had as free and untrammeled a suffrage as they will have in the future. But while I answer his question thus Irankly, he will not withhold his attention while I point out why the negroes of the South have not had that suffrage. Objection was made to Mr. McLane's proceeding, out subsequently heobtained the lloor and Baid that at the close of the war and for twelve ears thereafter the South had been held In subjection by the voting in the Southern States had been under the protection, almost under the directlouyof the army.

The white jsaid black people had been held BJ relations of antagonism. During that period there had toeen vote in the South, and that tint? only ceased upon the Inauguration of R. B. Hayes. Since that time the black men of the had voted as they pleased.

Derisive laughter on the republican slle.l He said It lor the credit of Louisiana that the black men that State had sent good Representatives to this floor, and be said to the) gentleman from Michigan, (Mr. Horr,) without disrespect, that lie (Mr. Horr) might be compared in this House with the Representatives sent here by the negro Tote not in any sense to their disparagement. Mr. Horr.

Why la it that the vote for Hancock fell off and was much leas thau that cast lour years ago? Mr. McLane. The gentleman knows that at an election where there is no contest Mr. Horr. Why no contest? Mr.

McLane desired to reply, as did also Mr. Eobertson, of Louisiana, but objection was made and a good deal of confusion ensued, in the midst of which Mr. Robertson was heard to exclaim, "You don't want the truth, au.l you know it." Mr. Ryon confined himself chiefly to the discussion of an amendment which proposed to offer to put an end to what he termed the Iniquitous gerrymandering which had been practiced in several States, Instancing particularly the evils which had flowed from It in his iitd Ihi matter then went over. The House then, at 4.5-1, adjourned.

Tlie Railroad Question In the Oela-uare legislature. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.l DoVliB. Feb. 2, ISHl. The railroad question has reached a point ot Importance and interest to the Delaware that makes it the principal topic of discussion here, and has brought a considerable number of persons to the capital of the State.

The larger number seem to be In tho interest of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad and agaln-t the proposed amendment to the Delaware Western charter, which is sought to be availed of bv the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for a new through line from Baltimore to Philadelphia. Mr. J. w. Davis, assistant to the vlee-presl-rtents ot the Baltimore and Ohio road, reached here tonight, and was Invited by a majority of tli branches of the Legislature to make a statement In reference to tho subject.

Mr. JJavts said there was no desire to conceal the Intentions ot the company in regard to this uiatter, and that, notwithstanding the reports to the contrary, he was authorized to assure the members ot the Legislature that If the amendment shall be passed the Baltimore and t)hlo Company was prepared to go at once into the construction of the new line; that the cash money waa already subscribed, and a corps of engineers prepared to hcate the route. He also stated that the company was compelled to establish an independent line; that the Philadelphia, ilmlngton and Baltimore road seemed to be held by the throat by some mysterious power, and in its turn seemed disposed to throttle the Baltimore and Ohio. Ha further showed the advantages that would be gained ly Baltimore aud Delaware: that It would afford an additional outlet at Wilmington to the peach-growers, of the peninsula to the Korthern and Western markets. In fact, Mr.

Davis so plainly stated the whole case that one legislator who had always expressed his antipathy to the Western Delaware Railroad amendment complimented him upon the convincing and busjnesaliko manner in whtch he proved the "right to be right" and the "wrong to be wrong." It appears to be now only a question of time when the bin will pass, and although the narrow and petty arguments of adverse lobby uta fcave been blown to tho winds, it la plainly to seen that a powerful and active opposition ecgaged attempt, to defeat fe fctfl.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.l ANNAPOLIS, Feb.

3, 1881. Judge Miller delivered the opinion of the Court of Appeals today In the case of Joseph Ounther vs. Tho Mayor and City Council Baltimore. This suit was brought by the appellees against the appellant to recover certain taxes for the years 1873, 1874, 1875 and 1876. The taxes in question were levied in pursuance of the general revenue laws of Maryland upon the defendant's interest in certain vessels.

It was agreed that the defendant was a citizen of Maryland, and was part owner of three vessels, which were regularly registered as vessels ot the United States, under the act of Congress, iu the olHce of tho collector of customs, at Baltimore. Under the powers conferred by the charter the city council of Baltimore Imposed an annual tax upon the owners of the vessels for municipal purposes, which was resisted by the defendant on the ground that while he was a resident of Baltimore his vessels were employed continuously and exclusively in foreign commerce, aud were, therefore, not subject to State assessments. Ttie court below found a verdict tor tho city. The Court of Appeals affirms the judgment of the court below. It says: "An owner of a vessel living in Baltimore may employ his vessel in trading to Liverpool or to New Orleans, yet In either case it is his personal property, and as such Is properly subject to taxation and assessment.

A new post of the Grand Army of the Republic was established here last night. LOCAL MATTERS. Cold Weaklier and Ice. The Indications are that the cold spell of the past few days will begin gradually to move off from about noon today, and that it will get warmer very gradually. The mercury has risen in the West and Southwest, which indicates that it will rise here.

A thaw is predicted In a few days, followed by another cold spell. The coldest time yesterday was at six in the morning, when the thermometer was six. It rose gradually to twenty-one in the afternoon aud fell again during the night. The snow on the 6treets and the Ice on the sidewalks show no signs of melting yet under such temperatures. The new Ice which formed on the river is all crushed up under the constant moving of vessels, and below the Lazaretto, where it had formed about 3 inches, tugs and steamers make easy headway.

The northwest wind yesterday cleared a channel to Thomas's Point. Some tugs bound down yesterday with tows of oyster vessels got stuck in the ice near Sandy Poiut, and were in considerable difficulty until the iceboat F. C. Latrobe assisted them clear. The Maryland, while going down Wednesday night, grounded above tho Knoll, but got oft" and proceeded.

Tke ice was piled up around her for some height. The Maryland wont down to the assistance of the bark M. E. Cann, ashore on Sharp's Island bar, below Poplar Island. The bark, which is drawing 20 feet of water, lies In 15 feet water, having b6en carried up by the ice.

In order to get her off before she is much damaged the city iceboat F. C. Latrobe also went down last night to assist in pulling her oft the bar. The city tug Baltimore, Capt. Collins, reached Baltimore at 9.13 last night from West river.

Capt. Collins reports that he started down Wednesday morning, relieving several tugs and vessels at Sandy Point, and went into Annapolis at night ahead of the tugs and tows. Lett Annapolis early yesterday morning and went to West river. Got to the schooner James Green, of Camden, N. aud tho sioop Reindeer, of Crlsfleld, both In the Ice there.

After three hours butting at Ice thirteen inches thick the Baltimore opened a track for a mile and a quarter and released the vessels. The Reindeer left for her destination. The ice seems to be over all the rivers North. In the Delaware it is so bad' that the injured ship Maryland could not be takou to the dry-dock at Philadelphia for repairs, and all vessels leaving there are forced to put back oa account of the ice in the Delaware. At the Breakwater vessels are drifting about in the ice merciless.

The Ice in New York bay, according to telegrams from Sandy Hook, is the worst for twenty years. A large fleot ot steamers got stuck In the ice below New York on Wednesday. The thermometer at 3 P. M. yesterday was 13 at Albany, Buffalo 2.

VTorkingmen's Institute. Mr. J.

Whitelock and G. M. A. Schumacher It twenty-flve weekly papers regularly, In the German, Polish and Bohemian languages. Two large, cheerful and well-lighted rooms have been prepared for class instruction in mathematics, drawing and music, aud it is thought the elnssos will be organized in a week or two.

The report refers to the Interest taken In the Institute by Prof. H. Sanders and Rev. Wilbur F. Watklns, the former having conducted a concert aad tUe latter having delivered a lecture.

Unsuitable Bail Refused. HolUnsrs-worth Why to applied to Judge Plukney yesterday to accept John J. Kernan as surety to the amount of $700 for George Bell, in Jail on a charge of forgery. He proposed to ollej other surety for $800 of the bail, $1 being ftie amount fixed by tho court since Bell's acquittal on one of the indictments against him. State's Attorney Kerr objected to Kernan as incompetent to bo surety on a ball bond In that court, because he had been implicated in getting a man to porsonate one Adam Parr in a case in that court, for which he was sentenced to jail for three months and to pay a fine of $200.

Mr. Whyte argued that if Kernan was the owner of the requisite amount of property he must be accepted. Judge Pinkney finding by reference to the docket that Kernan was convicted as stated, October, 1879, decided that he was incompetent to be ball for Bell. Mr. JounS.

Bullock, the clerk of court, had previously refused to accept the same surety. Federal Hill Park. In the annual report of tho park commission extended reference is made to Federal Hill Park, for the improvement of which the city council, at its last session, appropriated 15,000. Unforesoen difficulties as to the width of Johnson street has enforced the suspension of work on a sustaining wall on that street for the present, and the means whicli would have been appropriated in that direction have been used in erading the hlU and widening the wall on Hughes street An additional appropriation ot $12,500, it is stated, may suffice to complete the grading of the hill, soiling it, aud making the stairways and balustrades that are included in the" original design. The observatory will bo removed from its present location to a more convenient one.

A plan has been prepared for an observatory with a tower for a telescope. Playing Police. -Two young men, Edward R. Snow and Charles Grauer, were tried before a jury iu the Criminal Court yesterday for assault on Florence Osborne and Katie Lftug, young women. The State, represented by Wm.

F. Campbell, contended that the girls wore walking near Tow nsend and Fulton streets with two young men, when the accused frightened the escorts off, pretending to be county policemen. A city policeman came upon them as Snow was walking a little distance off, and Grauer was near the girls, but they denied assaulting them. A verdict of not guilty was entered as to Snow in one case, and the ury were instructed to bring in a sealed verdict as to tho other charges. Pinafore at the Academy.

Pinafore, as presented last night at the Academy of Music, by the Ideal Opera Company, was entirely different from tho ordinary representations of that opera. The chief characters were taken by artists who have gained a reputation In concert and oratorio, and who are recognized as true exponents of tho lyric art. The result was an ensemble of the most symmetrical character, aud although thecomle element waa to a certain extent absent, this deficiency, it it may be styled so, was amply compensated for by tho complete manner la which the music was rendered. A. Stormy Voyage.

Captain Amlot, of the British steamship Rossmore, which arrived yesterday from carthagena with iron ore, reports that he had a succession of heavy gales since leaving Gibralter. Tho steampipes leading to the winches were swept away. One boat was stove and washed overboard, and both sides of the upper bridge we-e carried away. Wednesday night chief officer Brunker had tooth hands badly frostbitten while aloft. Upon the arrival of the vepsel he was sent to Mary- Ifuju University HospUuJ.

upon, and resulted in his suspension by a vote of 405 to 7, tho home-rulers not voting. Mr. Parnell declining to withdraw, he was forcibly removed from the House by the sergeaut-at-arms and five other officers, the homo-rulers waving their hats as he passed out. Mr. Flnnegan, liberal aud nationalist, then persisted in speaking, and was named by the speaker.

All tho home-rulers then decided to cause themselves to be sust)onded successively. The force used In Mr. Dillon's case meroly consisted in the sergeant-at arms taking his arm. 8 o' Clock P.M. The motion for the suspension of Mr.

Flnnagan was carried by a vote of 405 to 2, the home-rulers again refusing to vote, and the Speaker had their names, numbering 27, taken down. A division was then taken on a motion to suspend all the home-rulers refusing to vote. Their conduct was in accordance with a resolution at a meeting held this P. M. to adopt the course recommended by Mr.

A. M. Sullivan, that the Irish members should remain in their seats, instead ot going into the lobbies on division. The motion to suspend the 27 home-rulers was carried by a vote of 410 to 6, whereupon they individually declined to leave the House, only yielding to superior force. They were removed singly by the sergeant-at-arms.

After the vote suspending the home-rulers, Mr. Gladstone rose to move his resolution to preventobstruction, when Mr. O'Donnell moved that Mr. Gladstone be not heard. Mr.

O'Donnell was Immediately named, and Mr. Gladstone moved his suspension, which motion was carried by a vote ot 311 to 1. Mr. O'Donnell, declining to withdraw, was removed with two other home-rulers who refused to leavj the House when tbe division was taken. After further discussion Mr.

Gladstone's resolution was agreed to with some amendment. Mr. Gladstone then moved that the bill for the protection of life and property la Ireland was urgent. The motion was carried and the House adjourned. A MANIFESTO FROM THE HOME-RULERS The home-rulers expelled from the House held a meeting at which fiey decided to issue a manifesto to the Irish people denouncing the conduct of the House, but advising the people to keep within the lines of constitutional action.

In expectation that the home-rulers might carry resistance to an extreme, today 180 policemen were stationed iu the vicinity of the House of Commons. The expelled home-rulers will take their seats In the House of Commons as usual tomorrow. THE IRISH NATIONAL CONVENTION. The executive of the Irish laud league today issued instructions relative to the election of delegates to a national convention. The delegates are to be elected Immediately, and will be notified hy telegraph to attend in Dublin immediately the coercion bill is passed in the House of Commons.

The Excitement in Ireland Over Arrest. DUBLIN, Feb. 3. The news of the arrest of Michael Davltt spread through the provinces with amazing rapidity. Many indignation meetings have already been held.

A letter from Mr. Dillon's solicitor is published, stating that the authorities at the castlo have refused to iuform him why Mr. Davitt was arrested. Michael Davltt was arrested for not reporting himself to the police immediately after his arrival. Messrs.

Egan, Brennan aud Dillon, of the land league, went to the castle and sought to have an interview with him, but the police informed them that he was not there. The detectives on arresting Mr. Davitt drove to Kingston, where the prisoner was placed on board the mail steamer Fold. Messrs. Egan, Brennan and others went to Kingston to see him before the steamer sailed, but the police refused them admittance, and would adow no one to see the prisoner except a doctor, who advised him to go to the hospital fjs soon as he arrived In prison, as he was liable to have an attack of the lungs.

Messrs. Egan aud Brennan subsequently succeeded in obtaining an Interview with Mr. Davitt, who was in good spirits. He expects to go before a magistrate in Bow street tomorrow, (Friday,) and then be conveyed to the convict prison at Dartmoor. Davitt, it will bo remembered, while the British government was punishing Allen, Lar-kln and O'Brien, was engaged in the work of arming tho people, and while thus employed waa arrested in London and sentenced to 15 years Imprisonment, but was afterward pardoned on a "ticket-of-leave," and it is this "ticket-ot leave" that is now forfeited.

He was an earnest worker with Parnell in the Interests of the land league. ABDUCTION OF A PEINCE. The Dusseldorfer Anzeiger announces that yesterday Prince William, son of the hereditary Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern, who was recently chosen heir to the Roumanian throne, was forcibly abducted by three men and taken across the Rhine, but that he subsequently escaped and returned home. His abductors are supposed to be nihilists. It is thought that they iucended to carry oft Prince William's younger brother, Prince Ferdinand.

It is the latter Prince who was recently chosen heir to the throne of Roumania, aud not William, as was previously reported. A dispatch from Dus-seldorf positively denies the story of CABLE NOTES. The exports of merchandise from the consular district of Lyons, France, to the United States during the month of January, amounted in value to 5,283,635 francs, being an increase of nearly francs over the value of the exports in December, 1880. The rebellion in Transkei, South Africa, has been crushed, and the 2,000 troops employed there have been sent to Basutoland. At Tyldesley, Lancashire, 1,000 colliers have resolved to return to work, but 12,000 at Pen-dleburg, Lancashire, have resolved tc strike for an advance of wages.

The rejection by Italy and Germany of whole cargoes of trlchinosed bacon ha3 glutted the French market, and the evil effects of eating it are manifested in the barracks and in private families. Police precautions have been issued against its use. An English steamer, bound from Bilbao to Mlddlesboro', has foundered at sea, and 13 per sons were drowned. Lone Island Sound Kearly Frozen Over. New York, Fob, 3.

Long Island Sound was nearly frozen over today, and the sound steamers, as a rule, were greatly delayed. Only those steamers provided with the most powerful engines could make a passago. The agent of the Fall River Hue said that the steamer Newport, on account of her powerful engines, had been able to get through on her last trip out. About 20 steam vessels were thus enabled to pass up tho sound, following in her wake. All sound steamers were delayed 7 or 8 hours.

The steam ers of the Fall River, Providence, Stonington, Hartford and New Haven Lines did not arrive here until between 3 and 4 o'clock this afternoon. Tho captains ot these vessels reported that they had not seen the sound so solidly frozen in years. It was thought that the Fall River Lino would not send out a steamer tonight. The principal point where the steam ers met with delay was near Fort Schuyler. No trains have run on Long Island railroad for two days.

An express train is in a drift 12 feet deep at Woodbury Station. The bay at Keyport, N. is one mass of ice, and twenty or more vessels are frozen in. At Delaware Breakwater as far as the eye can reach the harbor ami bay are covered with ice, com pletely locKiug in ine snipping lying there. Looses by Fire.
