An Issue Hnlised by District Attorney Jhxxln While KchiHtinc: He- leuse of Priboners. In au opinion handed down yesterday Judge Cole quashed the contention ro eently made by District Attorney Davis Hint the District supreme court had no power to appoint United States conmiLs bioners, and time uch United States commissioner!- now In office hud no right, to exeicis'i the law applying to the release of pauper convicts. The question was re cently raised by Mi. Davis when he re ceived a notice from United States Com missioner Mills that an inmate of the Jail had applied ic him for release under tl'o poor convict act. Mi. Davis raised the issue tiiu.t legally Mr. Mills was not n United States coiiiinisMoner, and that ho had no power to execute the law involved. In Ids decision Judge Cole decided that the- siipreme court of the District was a United States court iu every sense of the word, and that it was, therefore, withiu Its jurisdiction tc appoint United States commlssioncis. Such commissioners had been appointed by tlie court for the last three-quarters or a century and during that time they had discharged their duties iu a. manner identical "with that of commission ers In the several States. There was no construction to be placed on the law on the subject, he held, which would Indicate tliut the court was not a United States court, with rull power to appoint commis sioners. The contention over the poor convicts' act arose from the cum: of a man who had been sentenced in the police court to pay a fine of $15 or serve sixty days iu jail for an offense. In the absence or the payment, of fine the prisoner was taken to J ill- At Hie end or thirty days, accord ing to law, lie notified the court that he was entitled to release In pursuance with the provisions of the poor convict act The di-triut attorney held thut the prisoner wits not being held solely on accouiit of a nonpayment of fine. J-idge Cole hehl to the contrary, and decided that tne United States commissioners of the District weie vested with the power to ex ecute the provisionsof the poor convict law. giiakts tji n-unzio ;new tiual. Judge Bradley in Making Coiimmnt Censures Warden Leonard. Judge Bradley yusterday granted a new trial to Eernadme di Nunzio, the Jtallan musician recently convicted of assault with attempt to commit criminal assault on Dora Ax, the little eight-year-old girl living on Brlghtwood avenue. The prin ripal reason a-slgned by Judge Bradley for granting a rehearing of the case was the fact that DI Nunzio cannot speak English; that moi-t of the testimony in the case was in that language, and thatthc interpretei employed iu the trial was not fully competent to perform his duties. Besides, lie thought, that the testimony submitted by the girl was incredible Jn many particulars and Would bear further consideration and rehearing. "When Judge Bradley acceded to the re quest for a new trial, made by Di Nunzio's attorneys, he took occasion to direct at tention to what lie said looked to tilui like a dereliction of duty on the part of Warden Leonard, of the District jail. It will bo recalled that while Di Nunzlo was con fined therc.awaltlng trial, he was examined by a physician who testified in the trial on behalf or the Go eminent, Judg. Bradley said, in effect, yesterday, that the warden of the Jail neglected his duty in allowing such an examination to be made, and that itappearedto him to be as near misconduct ing the arfalrs or the jail as could possibly be accomplished. THH OKDEAL OF WILLIAMS. Evidence Siibiniried in Ills Trial for Embezzlement., The case of Ban Williams, charged with embezzlement, again occupied the atten tion of Judge Bradley in criminal court No. 2 yesterday. M. W. Quintan, who has succeeded Williams as fine clerk at the police court, Avar, the first witness called. He submitted some testimony as to the re ception and disbursement of the money which passed through his hands. T. L. Wollard, a stenographer, testified as to the confession which Williams made when taken before Chief Clerk Richard Sylvester and Major Moore, at police 1'e id quarters. Williams, he said, admitted the alleged embezzlement and offered to do anything in his power to make good the shortage. Williams told Mr. Sylvester, the wituess testified, that he had spent the money on race horses. Clerk Nicholas Harper, of the police court, was recalled to the stand in the afternoon and submitted some testimony pertaining tc the fines collected at life Contesting u "Will. Louis Beyer, Ji., and Helen B. Johnson yesterday filed an auswer to the caveat of Lewis Bayer, sr., and Elizabeth IC.

Statement of the Chicago, Burlington and Quiney Huh tin Unexpected Effect. New Tori.-, Oct. 20. The logical" tend ency of the speculation la to contract, iu view of the serious questions which will come up for settlement within the coming week. ITsnce 'tie tiansucaious on tin stock market today weie chiefly made up of those in-aud out ventures of the loom traders, and even with that class the political situation rather displaced the stock market in point of attention. It seemed to be generally consldeied that the political situation has been much simpli fied by reason of the sudden death of one of the candidates, and to some extent the event iu question was accounted u ruAot ablom.ul-et influence. O titer fuetorswhlch could be placed on the same side of the account were the continued but not main tained strength of the wheat maiket, a further announcement by the Attorney General that the Union Faciflu .-ale -would not be postponed and the excelleut .Sep tember blutement of earnings made bj the Burlington and Quiney Company. The price chunges In such a maiket could not be considered as of much significance, 'ihe market changed its superficial tone several times dining the day, according to the varying diafts of the reports as to the readjustment of the local political bltuatlonbut actual liquidation aud in vestment were equally missing. In ordinary circumstances it I'llgjit be assumed that such astatementas wasmad" by the Burlington would have found pro ii'rtmewMl stock market reflection, but the stock actually declined upon its publlca Hon. The figures show that 1.1 per cent was earned on thestocklu September, and it is expected that the October report win be approximately as good. The company increased its gros earnings for the mouth about -10 per cent, and its net returns in Tensed nearly 50 per cent. The market opened at general advances from yester day's closing price, but lost the improve ment in the forenoon dealings". A suc-se quent reeuveiy In Burlington and the other gi anger stocks extended through the gen eral market, though the trading continued on a small scale In the later advances In prices Chicago Gas, Missouri Pacific and Northern Pa cific were conspicuous. Consolidated Gas, which was moderately active, reflected pressure throughout the day. New Voi It Stoulc lurkot. Corrected daily by i B.ilibbs A Co , Bankers and Brokers'.1 Meit?ber or the X. Y.

Webtcru Union Tel to 8S4 b.yj 6Bi The market was dull and devoid of features yesterday. The principal event In the political situation in New York, tne death of Mr George, was productie of many opinions as to the ultimate outcome, but seemed to udd to tlie dispo.-ilion on Wall street to do nothing until after elec tion. There was nothing else in the move ment of the list or iu the railroad news that requires auy lengthy notice. London did but little in New York, but prices for American stocks improved In the London market to a slight extent. The exchunge market was s-imewhat firmer at 4 e-1 1-i aud 1-" for demand bills on London. If anything of a general nature ma be said of the market it is that ft shows no ten dency whatever to recover, in the lute aitenioon yesterday the market continued dull, irregular r.nd heavy, and entirely profesMonal, though fflra few minutes before the close there was some 'disposi tion shown by traders to cover their ihort contracts. Earn'ugs yesterday were fairly good. Northern Pacific, for the third .veek. of October showed an increase of SoO.OOO; Burlington hail a net increase or 019,000. and a gross of over a 'million for Septem ber. Reading, for September, showed a not mran'e or $153,000; Coal and Iron, lor September, & net decrease of $1 It ,000. One of the directors of Burlington says, according to Dow, Jones & Co.: " ''The October statement will not make quite a3 good a showing relatively :ii that made for Rpptembei .''but'iieveithf-less, the company Is doing a large business. Gioss earning? aie increasing about $30,000 per day. October of last?year waa a large month. lie thinks - it- quite likely that the compenj will stfbtv 8 per cent on the stock for the year, as'has been calculated. This only calls for an average net increase of $230,000 purmoutht and the company shows a" incroasefor the first three months of the year su far Ofulmost $1,100,000, for the remalnlngnliftf'months the company only has t" earn the-net inciease of about $178,000 per month to show the 8 per cent earned. The n&nagement has de cided not to issue a renprt for the twelve months ending June ' 30 last, and vthe next annual report" to'be Issued will be for the twelve months ending Juno 30 next. "" '"' It is unquestionable that Burlington's earnings were slightly disappointing. The stock was strong in the morning, but after the figutes appeared it bold off. It seems probable that Union Pacific will advance. There seems no reason why it should not do so. It looks like one of the gotil purchat-cs in the market at pres ent pri"es. The Pennsylvania directors will not complete the dividend rate, according to the latest information Tlie earnings of tlie Metropolitan Trac tion show hwivy 'increases, although a portion of the line is not working. Friends of Pacific Mail continue to feel badly over the monthly statement made by the company on "Wednesday. It Is even 5M that the 1 per cent dividend re cciiO? established may not be continued. Bell 5b Co. are among the buyerfi of Chi cago Gas. R. G. Dun A Co .'s review of trade will so,y todaj: "The testing of retail trade is In progress but results are rema'rkablyretarded by long continued mild weather aud also by the weather in Southern districts. Even from that quarter some largo orders lately re ceived show better distribution than ex pected. In spite of unseasonably warm weather, which greatly hinders retail deal ingsin whitergoods atallpolntscast of the plains, the laige number of supplementary orders with urgent pressure for quick de llvcrj make it clear that the sales in many branches have exceeded the expectations of dealers, eo that replenishment of stocku Is not yet finished. Meanwhile wholesale trade andoiders to manufacturers have been lower than when the rush was greatest, but haic nevertheless been large for this stage, even in a yiar of general prosperity, for Ihe payments through the principal clearing houses have ror the week been 3 9 per cent larger than In the same week or 18D2, and ror the month G.l per cent. Money markets remain Tree from embar rassment. Commercial touns have much im reused, and ten large banks n-purr oO per cent or their loans for the Week in that form, the important feature being Southern .iilll paper ror cotton buying. The fall-of cotton to 0 cents for spot and 5.88 Tor January, irakmg the price the lowest since Maicli 14,1805, and not hair a cent above the lowest ror nearly half a century, is partly due to embarrassments caused by the fever, but also indicates the prevailing belief that the quantity to come forward is large. Wool markets have become quiet. Trices are said to be well maintained, though 2 to 3 wcnts below former asking prices. The market forgoods is not active. The boot and shoe industry is in a similar position. The buying of iron and steel products, though smaller than of late, continues to keep works well engaged ahead, and induces others to resume operations. Both buyers and manufacturers find ic prudent to limit engagements ahead, and this period of adJuNtmem will make the industry sarer for some time to come. Failures Tor the week have been 219 in the United States, against 270 last year,, and 25 in Canada against 40 last year. Bradstreets will say: Gene'al trade retains most of the feo tures of a, week ago, with a continued check to tlie movement of ftaple merchandise. Me-rcautile Collections are slower, filhng in orders are smaller and more infreiiuent. and business in staple lines for the latter half of O'jtobcr, aside from tliat in w ool and metals, ha- been somewhat disappointing The Northwest continues to make re latively more favorable rejiortsas to trade, allhougli at Milwaukee and Minneapolis mild weather lias cheeked distribution. Neany all Southern cities, except a few In '1 exas, Kansas and Georgia, continue o feel the influence of yellow fever quaran tine, the extremely low price of cotton and delayed collections.
