Frailt'M.'ilcVaireti, the Iron contractor
on the addition to the Government Trint
lns Office, who was charged with vlo-lliifiig-tm;
ehiht-lrour law, wa discharged
in the police court by Judge Miller yester
day, the courL-taking the ground Unit
then- exited a-proluble emergency in
the eolhiie ot that "denlli-trap," .is he
called" the o"ld building.
. A.li-c tULNtuiiiiU'-".- teiiort In The Even
Ins Times jesn.is.ay wus brought to a
iluietl'i-iullowliulri'ilinoiiv wahnrii-PHl
Mr. Mllfurd Biiolin and Mr. Ooorge O.
Cook, IwUi brk.klaM.-ri ami builders, testi
fied that they had examined the wall that
-was claimed to bein danger, and thought
it was just as safe as the east wall; that
'the building "was. as fare to day us ll was
five jears pgo,. They liad been engaged
about two "hours in examining Che building.
."Would it, be. iis,ble to work two
gangs of men on that building?"
tvrimnlv." said Mr. Cook. "They could
ivnrt three shifts of men. if Uicy wai.teil
to. They ore doing the same thing St J
the new opera nouse now. inej uiu ii, ,
on tlie Moses buildlnj, ana nave none u
often."
Mr. W. L. Grigg and Mr. C. C. Colbert,
emplojes of the Government Printing Of
flee and working on the top floor of the
present building, testified for the prose
cution that they had not noticed any addi
tional vibration ill the building oluee the
beginning ot tlio underpinning. Thete
gcutlcmeu work near the weit wall on the
top floor, and would have been likely to
notice If there had beta any addiljonal
vibration In Ihe floors.
STOUY Or Till DEFENSE,
fhe defense eafieil Mr. Joiin A. King, a
-contractor and builder, who testified tliat
he had tried on one occasion to get men
to work elx hours In two shifts, but was
enable to do It, and from his experience
at the Govcrliiiferit Frliiiing Off lie he did
not think It possible to work more men
Jn the t.nace they had.
f- -Mr. McVnugn was then recalled, and
said he had not tried to get men to worn
In two shifts, but he did not think he
rould lime adiance'd the work any more
by working men sis hours in two gangs
instead r eight hours In one gang.
This was all the evidence, and in sum
ming up the case Mr. Gies, the counsel for
the defence, said that it was not shown
by the prro-ecutlon that Mr. McVaugh was
ne of the four i lathes of people who can
be guilty of an offentc under this nit. The
jily pfiQns who could be charged under
the working of the law were, first, an
officer of the United States; secondly, an
officer of the Blstrict of Columbia; thirdly,
a contractor, and, lastly, a subcontractor.
Mr. McVaugh had not been jihown to bo
either ot these, but, on the contrary, there
was plenty of tcsUmony to show that he
was In the employ of the Flioenix Iron
Company.
TLAIMEU AN EMERGnNCT.
Counsel then called attention to the
emergency clause. The testimony shows
that the walls of this building are in a
pircaxious condition; that during the un
derpinning the iHiilding was in iosltlvo
danger, and that Lieut. Bewell testified
tbat lie would not like to lie held resjiouel
ble for the building if the walls were not
cloMd in before freezing weather.
"I'll leave tho question of emergency
now to your honor. Your honor can Judge
it for yourself. It there is any man In the
District or Columbia or in the United
States who is able to Judge whether the
wall in Question was in danger or
not. It certainly must be the engineer in
charge."
Mr. Mullowney, for the prosecution, said
that It seemed to him that there was only
one point in the whole case, and Hi. was
whether there waa an emergency or not.
As "far as the sub-contractor was con
cerned, the prosecuting attorney claimed
that it was in evidence that McVaugh had
ilone "nrork in other cities In which the
Phoenix Iron Company had nothing what
ever to do. The Phoenix Company was a
firm furnishing structural Iron, and they
certainly would enter Into some kind ot
contract with any roan they furnished ma
terial to.
Mr. Mullowney IaH great stress on the
agreement .which was Mgned by all the
men, and which The Times printed ver
batim. The agreement specifically said
that the men were cmpl-jes, of Mr. Frank
McVaugh, and that he was the emplojer.
Tills ltdr disproved Ihe idea that AlcVuugh
tras anynUier than a stibcoutrator.
"Now in regard to Ihls emergency. Lieut.
Scwell says when they began to underpin
the wail they moved the printers twenty
feet away from It."
"If Mr. Sewell had any Idea," continued
Mr. Mullowney. "of tbat wall being In
danger of falling down those men would
not have been moved twenty feet away;
they would have been taken out of the
building altogether."
JUDGE MILLER'S DECISION.
Judge Miller, in 6uroming up the case,
analyzed the statute under consideration,
and said it waa made by Congress, especially
for the good ot the working class ot people,
and he thought It a wise and beneficent
law, and one that ought to be Etrictly en
forced. "The main question is," said his honor,
"whether this man Is a contractor or not
and I Hi Ink from the testimony ho is not so
made out.
"The only queetion remains now as to
whether there was an emergency, and I
have my views on that question. The only
real meaning ot this law is, where there is
some real or apparent catastrophe, and that
brings it down to a Aery narrow paint, and
so narrow, that there wouldn't be one case
in a thousand where a man would not be
liable witliln the limits ot this law, If he
worked Ills men over eight hours."
"Now the question is, whcUier this case
comes under that head. If I were trying
the riioenix. Iron Company, whojeern to
be the full cause of all the delay, they should
have tho full penalty" of tiie law. But I
have nptblns to da with that. It is a
quesUon of wliat conditions the foreman of
tbat gang of worlmen was presented with
on the day in queetion.
"The englneerlu charge, a lieutenant of
the army, who had been put there, com
petent to Judge, eays there was a great
emergency, qndjspeaking frankly, I think
the grand Jury should have investigated
Uhs death-trap long ago. And I Uiink he
is right. It ts impossible for me, in the
face of the possibility or these -walls fall
ing in upon these 2,700 poor people penned
up In Uits trap, to say that this statute
should stand good above all this jjrobable
catastrophe, and I don't intend to tio this
Uians,Jiartda. .
"But I want to say that you must not
violate this law. The case ts dismissed."

When Jim Corbett was In Ireland he
played many games of handball with
the experts in the different cities he
visited, and he always managed to win,
surprising the natives by his remarkably
swift work.
He and hu brother Joe have played this
game since boyhood. They were built
educated at St. Mary's College. Santa
Clara, California, nnd there the boys are
said to be the best handball pUers in tho
world, as the brothers encourage tbo game
among the j oaths.
Coruett's remarkable quickness on ills
feet Is almost attributable to his work at
this game. He plajs it continually, and
claims that It cxerftses eiery muscle in
the body. Corbelt is going to have the
nerve to tackle Thil Casey, the champion
handball player ot the world, and the
funny part is he thinks he is going to win.
Champion Jim has also dm eloped into
quite a baseball player, and In this game
ho displays his fine muscular power and
quickness. In bis game next Tuesday
with the Departmental League players
the fans will Have a good opportunity to
judge hi condlUon, which is said to be
excellent.

The Treasury gold reserve ha been re
duced to $92,7p5,0G7, at which rigures it
stood when thi? 1 rreasury closed ibs doors
yesterday. Thise rigures were reached by
a withdrawal t New York ror exporuof
$1,500.00. I
Since the preseut export gold movement
begun on July. 13 last there hate been
withdrawn from the United States Treas
ure ;32,'4SU,bOO in gold, ull ot which,
with the exceptlou ot less tban a million
dollars, has been sent to Europe.
The total gold exported exceeds these
figUr-s. as some gold, especially the gold
bullion exiwrled, was rurult-heii by the
banks of New Yorrk. Durlrg the same
period gold wajj furnished by tue syndicate
ami bv the New Tvrk mil tonal b inks and
others to the amount or 515,32.1,000.

attained its niaxUium height this year,
standing at $107,512,362.
From that time the gold reserve has
gradual!) declined, until to-d.i)'s figures
were reached. Treasury official decline
to discuss the prsojivcts of further gold
shipments, as the situation is ery much
mixed 1 be present movement apitears to

not mucti more than a tinge or speculative

No uneasiness and no anticipations of
any emergency arising sufficient to make
necessary another bond issue are enter

While no official information can be ob
tained on the subject, the heller Is enter
tained that the national banks of New
York may come further to the relief of
Uie Treasury next week and strengthen
Uie gold reserve by $10,000,000 orso.
Guvormuent officials are incournged to
believe Uiat wiUiin a month the number ot

as a result ot Uie export of American
