6 MUST FACE A JURY. Alleged Fire Bugs Remanded by Cory to the Grand Jury. Defendants' Counsel Fail to Break Down Damaging Testimony. Both Prisoners Will Have to Languish in the County- Jail, As It Is Improbable That Dis trict Judges Will Allow Bail. f* Marks and Moritz Michaels, the He brews arrested for arson, were yester day held to await the actiou of the grand jury without bail. The preliminary examination was called again before Judge Cory in the municipal court at 2 o'clock. Lawyers Williams and Erwin appeared for the defendants, while County Attorney O'Brien conducted the prosecution. The court room was well tilled when the first witness was questioned, and a great deal of interest is manifested in the case, particularly by the representatives of the insurance companies. T. T. Fauntleroy was recalled and cross-examined by Mr. Williams. He is attorney for -the insurance company in terested. He related the conversation had with the two defendants in the city lock-up, when they were questioned by the county attorney. He said that this occurred in the presence of Detectives Horan and Daly and Lieut. Schweitzer. Witness was present when Moritz was arrested, and he described the occur rence, and when questioned by Mr. O'Brien began to draw a word picture of the condition of the interior of the cottage, but this was ruled out by the court. At the lock-up Moritz said he was in a very bad fix, and witness replied: "Yes, it seems that way. You are a mem ber of organized lire bugs going about burn ing property to get the insurance money. You ought to bare known that you would Lave been detected sooner or later." Witness, when asked what induce ments were held out for a confession, replied: "I did not tell him I was there in his in terest, but plainly said I was there to charge him with setting fire to the house, and told him he ought to have known that he would have been caught in it" Witness testified that he did not direct the arrest. The facts, however, had all been laid before hint by the in surance company, and he advised that the evidence in his opinion ought to sus tain the charge of arson. Witness waa consulted two or three times during the day*. Everything had been practically arranged then — everything but the burning of the building by the two Michaels. Attorney Williams attempted to show that the witness was the person in authority, but an objection was sus tained on the ground that it was not cross-examination. J. Q. Hafts, secretary of the St. Paul German Insurance company, was called by the state. lie testified to the fact that the defendants had an insurance policy for $.">;ju in the Hekla company, on tho property that was attempted to be burned. The proof of loss was. in liis hands, but no attempt to prove it had ever been made. , Detective Horan related the arrest of Mont/. Michaels on the coruerof Waters and Edwards streets as he was coming out and locking the house that had been set on fire. He was cross-examined rela tive to the confession made by the de fendant in the lockup. • Moritz denied that he knew what punk was, although he hau said lhat Finklestein had told him nil about it. Marks had said that he heard that Moritz had burned his uncle's house. Mr. Erwin— Were tbcv told that it would be better for them to tell the whole story? "Marks was told by Mr. O'Brien" that he couldn't do or offer anything, but if he was connected with the burning of the house, it would be better for him to make a clean breast of it." HS9B Detective Daly testified that he ar rested Marks Michaels on the Wabasha Btreet bridge, He was in company with another man, supposed to be one of Mason's private detectives. Marks had a bundle ot clothing, and when searched at the lockup he had $52.05. Witness could not recall the conversation at the lockup further than Moritz admitted to burning his uncle's house. H. 11. Floyd testified that he knew the defendants and that they resided at 55 West Third stieet, where witness palled upon them. There he saw a leather bed such as are used in the old country for covering. This is the bed supposed to have been burned Nov. 1 last, on which the in lurance was placed with other house lold goods. The state rested and Attorney Will lams moved to dismiss the case against the defendant Marks Michaels on the ground that no case had been made out, Mid that It had not been shown that there was a probable cause to believe that he had been connected with the Dffense. The court refused the motion and held both defendants to the grand jury. Mr. Erivln— What is the bail? "Mr. O'Brien— lt is not bailable. Judee Cory— The district court will have to fix tha».

AXD BRIDGE MEN Meet and Generally Compare J o:es on the Latest Inventions. A regular meeting of the Northwest ern Track and Bridge association was held in the union depot yesterday. The members who were present are engaged in caring for the track and bridge de partments of the various North western: railroad.-.

An interesting discussion of Mr. Raf fertys paper cv the "Proper Founda tion for a Right Angle Crossing," read at the last meeting, took place. The members were almost unanimously in favor ot ties for lhat purpose, instead of a framework of timber, which was used almost exclusively a few years ago. Mr. Mclver read a paper on the ••Best Form of Construction for a Cross ing of Two Pile Bridges." This paper provoked a lively discussion, which showed that there was great diversity of opinion on the subject. Nearly every bridge man sketched on the blackboard a different plan, and, in order to obtain more information, the subject was con tinued to the next meeting. Mr. Buell read a paper on "Frogs," in which he referred briefly to the prog ress that has been made in the manu facture of this indispensable adjunct to the track, lie also spoke of the many kinds now in the market, and . in clos ing his paper stated that die believed the improved spring-rail frog to be the coming one. Several of the members agreed with in, but a few thought other forms of construction to be fully as good. The discussion of this, subject was continued until 5:30, when adjourn ment was taken to the Windsor hotel, where an hour was passed at supper, which was served iv the club room. The members spent* the early evening in social intercourse, and. as many of them left the city on the night trains, broke up to meet again on March 11, when the discussions will be continued. At that meeting officer** will be elected for 1802, and it is thought there will be the largest attendance of any meeting the association has held. A COSTLY BLAZE. Tho Millinery Establishment of Schnltz & Co. Gutted. Considerable damage was done by fire last evening in the wholesale millinery establishment of F. J. Schultz & Co., 81 and S3 East Third street. At a quarter past six o'clock fire was discovered in the second floor ot the building, and an alarm of fire prompt ly turned in from box 23. The flames had a good hold on the sec ond floor, and Chief Jackson concen trated his men on that point, with the result that the fire was confined to the locality where it broke out. The in flammable nature of the stock caused a hot fire for about twenty minutes, but alter that time it was un der control and soon extinguished. Stock taking was being carried on by the employes of the firm, and at (5 o'clock the clerks left the building to go to sup per. All the gas jets were left lighted, and it is believed that a jet of gas was blown onto some light material on one of the shelves, thus causing the fire. F. J. Schultz. one of the firm, estimated that the damage from fire and water would amount io $12,000 to £15,000, fully covered by insurance. HOTEL Ail HIV ALS. At the Windsor— A. c. Dennis, Milwaukee; C.

Neither Dr. Seward Webb nor any other man who knows clubs need be humiliated by a blackball. There are men, of course, who are blackballed be cause of their bad characters, but many a good fellow is kept out of a social organization simply because one or two of the board of governors are possessed of an irrational prejudice against him. On its face the refusal of a club to admit one to its membership, which is usually the refusal of a few. is not at all to bis prejudice. it is not a reflection on his character, on his social posi tion or on his general good-fellowship. It simply indicates that some members of the club do not like the candidate, that he is not congenial to them, and, though they have no right to base their club actiou entirely on personal feeling, that they fear that his presence in the clubhouse may be disturbing to the rest of the members. He may, indeed, be rejected because the wart on his nose is of a size or shape not approved of In that particular club. :,:■">, As a rule there Is nothing more elastic or more arbitrary than club law, and nothing so innocuous as a club black ball. •" Commendable.

No Conclusion Reached as to Any of the Committees of the House. The Republican Caucus Com mittee of the Senate in a Quandary. Senator Call's Proposed Pur chase of Cuba—Are Free Passes Illegal ? Washington, D, C, Dec. 11.—Speak er Crisp will probably leave Washing ton for a few days and go to some quiet place, wit ere he can secure a little rest, which he greatly needs after the wear and tear of his canvass and his incess ant labors since his election, and where he can also work undisturbed on the ar rangement of the committees, lie will not leave the city until all the members of the bouse nave had an opportunity to express their views to him. lie spent the day at his room at the capitol, and received a number of members. Sena tors Hiscock and Chandler, ex-Speaker Heed and others paid their respects. The speaker desires through the press to return his cordial thanks to the many persons who have sent him thier con gratulations, which are so numerous that it is not possible for him to make an individual response to each. No conclusion had been reached this afternoon with respect to any of the committees or the policy to be "pursued as regards their composition. It is probable that when the house convenes tomorrow the committees on accounts and on mileage will be announced. The work of these committees relates merely to members' salaries and traveling ex penses, and they are usually appointed very soon after the organization "of the house, in order that the accounts of members may be audltee. It was sug gested this iifcernoon that Mr. Rusk, of Maryland, might perhaps be made chair man of one of these committees. The rales committee, so far as can be learned, is entirely an unknown quantity, whose composition is not likely to be deter mined upon before next week. PURCHASE OF CUBA. Call's Resolution lor an Independ ent Republic. Washington, Dec. 11. — The joint resolution introduced yesterday by Senator Call, authorizing the president to open negotiations with Spain, is identical with the one introduced by him last session, and provides that the president be requested to open negotia tions with the government of Spain for tne purpose of inducing that govern ment to consent to the establishment on the island of Cuba of a free and inde pendent republic, such consent to be given upon the payment by Cuba to the government of Spain of such a sum of money as may be equivalent both to the value of the public property belonging to Spain on the island and to the re linquishment of her sovereign rights, and also the securing by treaty of such commercial advantages as may be stipu lated. ARE FREE PASSES LEGAL? Attorney General Miller Will Try to Find Out. Washington, Dec. Attorney Gen eral Miller has determined to test the right of railways to issue free passes. The question to be decided is whether the issue of such passes is a violation of the interstate commerce law. He wiii shortly bring suit against one of the New England railroads known to have issued passes,- probably the Boston & Maine road. The suit will be in stituted in New Hampshire, and a special attorney will be ap pointed to conduct the case. Tha gov ernment is eager to obtain a judicial construction of the act upon this point, and the Issue hangs upon the question of whether or not there is a prohibition agaiust passes included in the clause providing that no rates shall be given either more or less than the fixed sched ule of the road. In many cases roads issue passes and contend that there is no legal restriction upon such action, and it will be one of these roads against which the suit will be brought, so that the question will tint be one of fact but of law, thus simplifying the proceed ings. DELICATE QUESTIONS. Senators All Want the Nicest Committee Assignments. Washington*, Dec. 11.— Neither the senate nor the house was in session to day. There were few signs of activity visible in the senate 'wing. The senate Republican caucus committee met at a comparatively early hour and took up the thread of their deliberation at the point where it was dropped yesterday. Nearly all the Republican senators have been heard from individually upon the ject of their assignment to committees, but, as was inevitable from the first, the caucus committee has discovered that in many cases it is not practicable to accede to individual wishes.inasmuch as several senators look forward to as signment to places on committees where there are few or no vacancies. This condition of affairs calls for much tact and management on the part of the cau cus committee to avoid an appearance of unjust discrimination, so that the progress made up to the present time is not very marked, and it was said this afternoon by one of the committee that a report may not be made to the senate uutil next Tuesday. ; NAVAL STAGNATION. A Bill Proposed to Better the Service. Washington*, Dec. 11.— is expect ed that a bill prepared and indorsed by Secretary Tracy in his annual report to increase the efficiency and personnel of the line officers of the navy will soon be introduced in both the senate and house, embodying the recommendations in the report of the so-called stagnation board of which Capt. Phythian was president. The bill will include the suggestions made in the report to prevent stagna tion in promotion, which has existed in the navy for many years, and which promises fo be continued unless some preventive measure is taken by con gress, modified to meet the views of the secretary of the navy. The bill also in cludes the recommendation of the board regarding the selection of officers for their promotion to the grade of com mander and captain and of retirement of officers after serving a certain num ber of years in one grade with the rank and pay of the next higher grade. Smokeless Powder a Success. Washington*, Dec. 11.— The new navy smokeless powder has been tried in a four-inch rapid firing ** gun for the first time at the Indian Head proving grounds with highly satisfactory re sults. The trial fully demonstrated that the powder is as much a success for guns of large caliber as it was before shown to be for three and tlx-pouuders. Want to Go to Africa. Washington, Dec. 11.— The post master general lias received a letter from Craw fori, Mies., signed by W. M WHY Royal Baking Powder is Best. " The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for I have so found it in many tests made both for that company the United States Government. * I will go still further and state that because of the facilities that company have for obtaining perfectly pure cream of tartar, and for other reasons dependent upon the proper proportions of the same, and the method of its preparation, "the Royal Baking Powder is undoubt edly the Purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the public. Brooks, president, and H. P.Lawrence, | secretary, saying: "The colored people i want to emigrate to Africa. We want ] to know whether we could get any aid i from this government or not. We are holding meetings every mouth. We would be glad to hear from yon soon. Ten thousand of us want to emigrate." The letter has been referred to the superintendent of immigration.
