The supervising architect of the Treasury is pre- paring plans for silver vaults, one of which it 1s proposed to place in the basement of the ‘Treasury deparcment in this city and the other at the New Orleans mint. The erection of these vaults has been authorized by an act of Congress, which ap- Propriated $100,000 for this purpose. The present accumulation of the silver dollars isin excess of the storage capacity provided in the several mints and sub-treasuries throughout the country. The vault erected here will be a very large one and, with the additional accommodation at New Or- leans, it is thouzht that the storage question abont the stiver dollar will be settled for the pres- ent, at least.

CHAR- LOTTE 8MITH—VIEWS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE. ‘The Commissioners have informed Mrs, Char- lotte Smith, of the Woman’s Industrial League, that her proposition to have aroom in the Pdlice Court hou<e set aside for detention of persons ar- rested has been considered and found impractica- bie. The station houses now in use, the Commis- sioners say, serve the purpose very well. This agtion is based upon a report by Major Dye, which says: ‘0 bave a room in the Court house where policemen are to tvke persons arrested on ‘sus- plcton or petty charges’ to. be interviewed by a. select party before incarceration is quite as im- practicable in a large city as it would be to run the police department with only one station— that at headquarters—tor the body of arrests are for the character of offenses described. As to having a ‘room of detention’ in the Police Court hous? for prisoners #walting trial, the judge of the court can speak more advisedly and properly about It than the chief of police. Perhaps improve- Tents could be made in that respect. Now as to having better accomodations at the — sta- tion houses for the prisoners, Seme of the station houses, the rented ones especially, have in few resp-cts what fs desired. ‘The accom modations in Use new ones are better, separate provision beng made for witnesses and the better class of offenders. Were It desirable to classify offenses agoinst the law more minutely than 18 now done, and that separat provision be made at the stations for each class, 1t 3 1mpracticable at our present stations, Seldom Coes an officer make a mistake in an arrest, An oficer of twenty odd years’ service on the force tells me that in all that time he remembers but two in- stances where sick men were arrested a3 drunk- ards, and one of these was pronounced drunk by A phy: When an arreste.t party is brought toa station, If there be any doubt about the case, he 1s examned by ‘he Heutenant or sergeant; 50 that but few instances can be pointed ‘out where a false arrest has besn made, And it is now the practice at the stations to accept collateral for appearance where it can preperly be done. If a Mentenant. of a precinct is_hot capable of performing the duty, which is properly his, of determining whether an arrest be proper, if he be not ‘infallible’ as the corre- Spondent alleges, let a Meutenant’s pay be so In- creased and such ‘other inducements be held out as to attract infallible men into the place.

Beall, an employe of the government printing cffice, was arrested yesterday on a charge of violating the penston laws, and held by United States Commissioner Bundy under $1,500 bail. The charge against Beall is that he defrauded Mrs, Catherine Breamer out of $758 in the pros-cution of a pension claim of $1,458. It is all that the prisoner and his brother, Richard J. Bent!, prior to August 6th, 1880, learned that Mra. Breamer, who lived next door ‘to them, on New Jersey avenue, had a sor who was lost in the federal army. They induced her to apply for a pension, and she was awarded $1,458 In arrears. Just before the claim Was allowed it Is charged that A. B.

Lawrence Lewis Conrad, a gentiemin widely knowr. in legal and social circles in Baltimore, Was shot and Instantly killed by his wife yester- day morning, about half-past 1 o'clock, while peacefully sleeping in bed at her side, as stated in Yesterday's Stax. The affair occurred at Mont- morenc!, the Worthington famfly manston, which isin Worthington valley, about two miles (rom Glyndon, on the Western'Maryland raiiroad, and 16 miles from Baltimore. Mrs. Conrad has for years suffered excessively from neuralgia of the stomach, which has produced nervousness and in- somnia. ' Yesterday she was almost frantic with pain. Mr. Worthington brought Mr. Conrad’s mail to him from Baltimore last evening. and when he got home Mrs Conrad was almost frantic with pain. While Mr. Conrad was resding his letters Mr. Worthington held his sister in hisarms She fre- quently Called her husband to come to her, and sald she could not bear to haye him leave her. When tea was announcel, Mrs, Conrad sali she ‘Was so nervous that she could not sit down, and she watked up and down the room. She took a little cream, and then held her bowed face in her hands, saying it made her pain even more intense. Mr. Conrad asked her several times how she felt. “Oh, my love,” she answered, “my nerves are setting me wild.” Soon after that Mr. Conrad gave her an Inhala- ton of oxygen, which had been recommended by Philadelphis doctors, Atabout 10 o'clock he gath= ered up the things he used for her comfort during the night, and storted up stairs, carrying alight, His brother-in-law followed, carrying Mra. Conrad in his arms. He then left the room, and Mrs. Worthington and Mr. Conrad nrepared the tnvalld for bed. Between 10 and 11 o’clock Mr. Worthinz- ton went to the door of the sick chamber and got a lamp to set in the hall door. Mr. Conrad gave it to him, and this was the last ‘time he ever saw his brother-in-law alive. THE MYSTERIOUS SHOT, + It {snot known, and perhaps never will be, ex- actiy how the shocking affair occurred. Mrs. Con- rad does nct appear to know herself. Her expla- nation 1s that she was trying to commit suleide, A more loving couple e>uld scarcely be foun}, They had been married for fourteen years, and Were most assiiuous in their attentions to each otuer. Mr. Conrad liad a lucrative civil practice at the Baltimor bar, but had giyen it up six months ago, so as to be able to take care of his Invalid wife. During the evening, in speaking of her sufferings, she Said that the pain traveled about and was avonizing. “No two men in the world,” sild she, “could suffer what I have and will suffer without committing suicide.” Hor husband came to her,and the usual dose of oxygen Ws administered through a tube. Ske appeared comparatively cheerful after the gas had been ad- mninistered, and sald she thought she would go to ed At 12 o'clock everyboty on the place was sound asleep apparently. It wis shortly after 1:30 o'clock when Mrs. Worthington was awakened by 8 shii-k at Ler door and her daughter cried out to her to come quickly as she had hurt Mr. Conrad. “My God, Iam airai@ I have burt him dadly,” she sald. Mrs. Worthington called to her son Tolley and went to Mr. Conrad’s chamber at once, They found him lying on his right side with his right hand under the pillow-and his lett tying against his side, The position was natural, an iC was only too plain that he had passed from sleep intodeath with hardly atremor. His face was turned slightly upward as if he was about to turn toward the side of the bed on which his wife lay. Blood streamed from a sinall hole above his left ear and reddened the pillow and sheets. As Tolley Worthington felt his pulse the wife asked in an agonized whisper: “Is he much hurt?) My Goa, oh tell me, Is he?” “He is not dead,” was fhe realy. A second after this the pulse ceased wo julter, ‘THE INQUEST AND VERDICT. An inquest was held,and the jury rendered a verdict that the death was caused by a pistol shot ‘wound inflicted by the wife, and that it was from accidental causes. The verdict gives general sit ‘sfaction, especially as the wife 1a beilvved to be dying. TWO DISTINGUISHED FAMILIES. Mr. Conrad comes trom illustrious ancestors. His father was Ctras, M.-Conrad, a Virgintan, and @ native of Winchester, He went to Loulslana Years before the war, and was soon well known in inat state, He was sent to Congress, and was ap. pointed Secretary of State under President Fill- more.

Binzs, the actor, by his wife, referred to in yesterday’s Star, 1s brought in Philadelphia, that an attachment might issue upon the household furniture of his sister, Mra, Cassandra V. Jounston, at whose house their Philadelphia reception was given. The bride claims that part of the money was used to furnish the house now occupled by the sister, but Urs. Jounston denies this charge. Mrs. Jo‘iston also says: “The bride was jealous fiom the first of every one whom Mr. Bangs Vked. found fault with her husband’a little do t insisted that he should send kim away. ‘Tho quarrels culminated in Mr. Bangs leaving the house, going to Philadelphia, and then to the Sturtevant house, New York,'when he wrot- the wife that she could see jim there. but he wou'd not go to her. He finaly co: s:nied to mec lawyer at their home in Brookiya, tut po: refused to oecupy the same room With he In regard to the disputed $7,000, Mrs. Johnston was asked if Mr. Bangs had received that amount before'the marriage, und she said: si “Yes, he did. He lost that amount while at- tempting to ‘star,’ and was in debt. She b of him to take It and settle with his erditors, Dut he refused for some time. She told him that they were engaged, and she woull rather he would not owe anybody when they were married, «nd at length he took it. He paid off everybody, but It did not require that muc’, as I know one person to whom he owed $8,000 who handed Lim back $1,000. He might have spent some of that on wu: but he gave us nearly-everything before he ha ever met the woman. Frank has led such an up- right life, and no scandal has been atta ed to his, priv.te character, but he 1s determined she shall not have the divorce she Wants, and is resting quietly, not caring what she does.
