'fi'lie Xcw Time Standard to Itccome Kf fee I i ve T?? in u rr? \v? what will. re hove in washington. To-mnrrow the public at large not dependent for their supply of tim up m tho "time ball" at the ob- 'rv dory will b-'glr; to regulate their affairs upon the new time standard, giving Washington the time of the 75th in ridifin,. which Is 8 minutes and li seconds faster than the real time of Washington, as registered by the dally transit of the sun over our meridian. Towns that liavfc never laid claim to a meridian will have no embarrassment In effecting a change of time, but In this city, us the meridian is recognized as a government Institution, according to t lie recent rulings, the actual Washington meridian time will continue to be the official time. the rall.roads. "It won't disturb us a particle," said Snperlnten lent, Sharpe, or tlie Baltimore and Potomac road, to a Star reporter tills m <i ning; "as a matter of fact tf will not disturb any railroad. The time is easily enough arranged." "Then the new time will go into effect 'on time' to-morrow," said the reporter. "Yes, promptly at twelve o'clock," said Mr. Sharpe. "I should think that It would cause confusion at first," said the reporter. "It will cause contusion maybe for the public," said Mr. Sharpe, -but as a'matter of fact-It will nrike very little difference on our road. We have always run by Philadelphia time, and this new standard mikes a difference ol only one minute and i hive seconds. Heretofore when we adverl Isod a train to leave at 11 o'clock it le t really at 11.07, aceoidiinr to Washington time." Th" ch inge on i lie liait hnore Ohio road will go Into effei t at. a o'clock to-morrow morning, at which time the new schedule rect ntly adopted will become operative. It Is thought that by in tklng the change hi. 2 o'clock Sunday morning, an hour wiem there are few trains running, there will be little confusion. the banks. A bank official, talking to a >tak reporter to-day, said that there had been no agreement as to the time to be employed in banking business. As a matter of fact, it would make nttv difference, as a margin was always allowed to cover any discrepancy in clocks. the jewei.ers of the city, who are the dispensers of time for the majority of people, will, asa rule, keep both times, so that their patrons can take t heir choice. Arrangements have been made so that the observatory will send both times to the jewelers. Messrs. Gait, ProtiKT.t Co. will, on to-morrow, at noon, set the la rye clock in front of their building to the time of the 7.V h meridian. Their regulator Inside, which Is connected by wire with the U.S. observatory, w ill, as heretofore, show the time of the meridian of Washington. Mr. M. W. Gait said to a Star reporter that he thought that the new time would necessarily prevail iii tho general course of business, as the railroads and the post office would be regulated by that time. As tne new time is faster than the old, no one will be late, if they regulate their movements bv it. Mr. Karr, the jeweler, stated to a Star reporter that whatever time the observatory furnished would be supplied by the jewelers who had electric connection with the observatoiy. He is having a dial with two rows of figures made for the large clock in his window so that It will give botn times. Some of the jewelers of the city are in favor of holding a meeting to arrange for the adoption of one time or the other throughout the city. The majority have decided to keep both times. Samuel Lewis' Sons are the only ones who have positively declared in favor of the new time exclusively. the city bet.i-s. There was some doubt at fire alarm headquarters this morning as to what time the bells would announce to the public hereafter. As usual, on Sundays, the bells will not ring at noon to-morrow, but will ring at 6 p.m., which will be the first time the bells will tell the time after the new standard goes into effect An official of the observatory visited the office this afternoon and stated that the old Washington time would be rung on the bells. This Is In accordance with the instructions of the Secretary of the Navy. The matter, it is stated, was made the subject of Cabinet consideration yesterday. Circulars sent out from the observatory today explained the system of time signals, and said that Washington time would be sent from the observatory. The difference between Washington time and the 75th meridian time is stated in the circular. The Protean Inquiry* EXAMINATION OP LIEUT. COLWKLL, U. 8. N. Lieut. Colwell, of the navy, was examined before the Proteus court of inquiry yesterday afternoon, after Thb. Stab's report closed. He said that the boats taken by Lieut. Garllngton were not as well fitted as they should haveneen, and he thought that the Yantlc would not have been able to go directly to Littleton's Island. The court held a short executive session this morning and then adjourned until Monday, without examining witnesses. THE KILBOl KVTKOnrsOX SI IT. The $<>0,000 Verdict Set Aside. jriWE cox's decision?a kfvtfw of tt1k case? the verdict excessive?a. new trial awardkd. Tills morning. In the circuit Court room, .ludge Cox decided t he mot ton to set asldetlie verdict in the case of 1!allot Klibourn against. ex-Sei geant-utArms Thompson. The suit ? n for |?r>0,0iin damages for tli*7* arrest and Imprl-omnent of KlH?oiirn (by order of the nouseof Ueprvsfnt ?tives\ and the Jury returned a verdict for plaintiff for fr,o,iny? damages. Defend int moved to sot aside tlie verdl-1, and this moilon was argued on Saturday and Monday last. Judge cox said that this wan ono of the msec in which a jury was apt to be carried away by impulse, and It was one in which the court should stand guard, as It were, over the Jury. lie had Us 'ened attentively to the arguments. Some criticism had been made of the charge of the court to the Jury. It was difficult to Keep the sins of the House of Representatives outcf the case, and the argument, very naturally was as to the conduct of the House. Tlie wrong complained of was that the arrest was without authority. How the fact that the House of Representatives ordered thrt arrest Increased tlie offense lie could not see, but he could see why that fact should go towards mitigating the grievances. He read sertiou 989 R. s. as to collectors of revenue?as to the amounts recovered from them being payable by the IUlted states. Congress intend* d that in a case of probable cause that the government would pay the judgment <410, 12 ltlatchford). Tills fact should not l>e considered by the Jury: the defendant should bo treated precisely as a private citizen. He had seen no error In hl< Instructions us to considering the defendant the sole party at Interest. Tlie items of injury were noted, loss of business being the lirst. and iii lids there was only the testimony of complainant. He could not sec how this could properly enter into the computation of damages, for this was a grievance of the House, wlileh was done before defendant came upon the scene. Next, lie eonsidered the question of damage to health of plaintiff, and said the verdict seems to j have been based on Injury to t lie feelings of tlie plaintiff. Here comes the difficulty of drawing t lie line lx'tween compensatory damages and vindictive damages. He noted several English cascs.1u wlil< li verdicts for ?800 and upwards were obtained, and said they wore for exemplary damages. 'I lien the distinction between compensatory and exemplary damages was Imperfectly outlined. Several American cases were noted as showing tlie intent of the party committing tlie grievance. Whenever the injury complained of has been inflicted maliciously or wantonly and with circumstances of contumely or Indignity, tlie jury aie not limited to the as-ertalnmw^ or a simple compensation for the wrong comtiMlted against t lie ag grieved party. Rut the m di -e spoken of Is n >t merely the doing of an unlawful act. 'I lie intent of the part j' committing the wrong should be considered, find evidence as to such be given They could not in Hi is case, without going beyond the law, give a verdict for exemplary damages. He would a -tune that, they gave tlie verdict as for compensatory damages, anu he would di-eu-s the case as if that was done. In arriving at the measure of damage* he had to consider it in comparison with; other cases. He noted several eases in which ver-i diets for ?400 and upwards were set a-id '. These j w< re criminal cases# but were pertinent, for they were on charges of crime and not for contempt. Tin ti there was a numiwr of cases ot arrests by military authority, and he noted the cases of Johnson agt. Hamilton, in tlie war of 1812, and Mct'al' a;:t. McDowell, In ilie late war. 11'again referred to the case of Beekwith agt. Bean, in whli h tlie plaintiff was imprisoned in the state prison for six months, In which plaintiff obtained a verdict for $15,000, the highest | which had been brought to his attention. The arrest of th plaintiff was a sort of friendly Invitation, and the plaintiff was not treated anything like as b id as was Beckwltli. In the light of all precedent he had come to the conclusion that the verdict was exeessive. and he felt it his duty to set it a-ide and award a new trial. He had been in hopes when the trial was commenced that such a verdict would be found as would stand. Had they found for iio.oco to *20,000 or more he would have allowed it to stand, although he would regard it as excessive. Mr. Totten sai l that they would like an early trial, and asked that some day be named. Judge Cox suggested that .fudge MacArthur was holding t his term, and he should be consulted. Mr. 'lotten said that Mr. Thompson was now sick, and it was Imperative that they should have an early trial. what mr. eii.focrn pays. "To use the language of tlie prize-ring." observed Mr. Klibourn to a Star reporter as he was leaving the court room, ''we aregcttlngour third wind, and will coine up from our corner smiling." "Are you discouraged?-' asked tlie reporter. "No," said Mr. Klibourn. "We will fight on and go ahead flight away. Mr. Thompson, however.may die, and then we will have no other recourse. I hope Mr. Thompson will have a long and happy life." "You cannot sue the warden or Uie Jail or any other person."' "No." said Mr. Klibourn, "we have no case against anyone but Mr. Thompson, as I understand it. Tills trial by jury seems to be another fiction of the law. I always supposed that juries were Judge- yf t he fact, and that trial by jury was part ol our Judicial system." what his col'nsfl say. "Your client is not discouraged," remarked a Stak reporter to Mr. Enoch Totten, one of Mr. Kiibourn's counsel. "I am not discouraged, either," said Mr. Totten. "I want a new trial." , "iv> you think you will get a bigger verdict?" asked the reporter. "I think," said Mr. Totten, "that we will get mor<? than fl50,0ii0 next time." TI!L NPEAKEKSniP CAA'VASS. i But Few >"e*v Arrivals* tue candidates' headquarters. i I Since yesterday less than a dozen members of j : Congress, all told, have arrived In the cltv. Hence,! It is plain to be seen that there is not activity as , yet In the Speakership contest. Mr. Springer, of , Illinois, came In this morning and quartered himself at the National. A Star reporter made several ineffectual attempts to see him. The Illinois candidate was traced to his j room, but could not be interviewed. He . was dressing, so the word came forth, and would not be visible until "this evening." Mr. Springer's 1 candidacy is not regarded by the public generally, including tlie members of Congress now here, as ' anything very serious, but he may have grounds ; for his race that others are not aware af. Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, one of tiie strongest men of tlie 1 delegation, is ojienly claimed for Carlisle. It Is said : lie pledged himself to Carlisle before Springer en- < tered the race. .Mr. Springer may have some | chance as a dark horse, out at present even that < prospect is very remote. 1 the fight not yet begun. Mr. Randall did not arrive to-day. He Is not expeeted now until Monday, when his headquarters , at the Ebbitt will be opened. He will personally i direct his own canvass. Randall has secured the i same parlors at the Ebbitt that Speaker Keifer oc- ! cupled In Ills canvass. Mr. Carlisle's parlors at the , Metropolitan will also be opened Monday morning. 1 The fact is that the canvass Is scarcely regarded as i seriously begun here yet. By the middle of next ' week the most trusty workers of the several candl- ( dates will all be here, and then things will begin to ' < stir. t general lk fevre's fight. A Star reporter saw Gen. Le Fevre to-day and asked for his views on the Speakership. "Oh," said < he, "I've got one fight on hand, and that is suffl- i clent Just now. I am here in the Interest of my old i friend and companion Leedom for sergeant-at-arms. $ He ftill have the votes of three-fourths of the Ohio h democratic delegation and of nine-tenths of the 1 caucus. As to the Speakership 1 have nothing to say yet." The Stevens School Building'* i CONFLICTING STATEMENTS AS TO ITS SAFETT. t rublished statements In relation to the condition ' of the Stevens school building, on 22d street, are [ thought by the District authorities to be somewhat i exaggerated. The inspector of buildings is wait- < lng to get the report of the last meeting of the * school board, when he will make an official report e as to the condition of that budding, covering all 0 that has been said by Mr. Brooks. He states that ? after Mr. Brooks' letter was received by him Mr. 1( Brooks called upon him In his office and stated that n he wanted the front steps strengthened, as they j were weak from rot, but he did not want them re- i newed, as they wanted to get a new school build- J tog on that site, and by having them rebuilt It j might operate against procuring a new school ? building. Mr. Entwlsle states that he knows per- t fectly well the condition of the house, and, aside r from the front steps, the condition is very little ? changed from what It was five years ago.
