HE MAKES HIS ESCAPE, BUT RETURNS TO LEARN THE RESULT OF HIS SHOT AND I8 ARRESTED— THE SCENE OF THE MURDER—@ESULT OF THE INQUEST. Robert Logan, colored, thirty-nine years old, who has been employed as a laborer in the | Government Printing Office, was committed to | jail by a coroner’s jury yesterday on a charge of murdering his wife, Logan lived at No. 409 Franklin street northwest, where the homi- cide occurred about 1 o'clock yesterday morn- ing. The prisoner and his brother, Albert Lo- gan, had been out together, and they returned home shortly before 1 o'clock. Special Officer Coburn was standing on the corner of 5th and P streets, when he met two colored men, who came running from the _ direction of Tfanklin street. One was in advance running rapidly, and the one in the rear, — rently in pursuit, was crying murder. e special officer started after the fugitive but failed to overtake him. He learned from the other man, Roig tae to be Albert Logen, that a woman been shot. Police Officers Kendig, Law and Rentch, who were at Ninth and P streets, responded to the special officer's call for assistance, and with him and Albert Logan, went to the house where the shooting occurred. The officers ascended a narrow flight of steps leading to the front of the two- story frame building and went upstairs, FINDING THE BODY. At the head of the steps they found a small pool of blood. Entering the room the officers found, lying across the bed, which was bespat- tered with blood, the body of Susie sy The bare feet hung over the edge of the bed and touched the floor, which was bese oy with blood. The body was partially disrobed. There was a pistol wound in her head from which the blood had oozed. This wound, it was thought, had caused instant death. The officers placed Albert Logan, the dead woman's brother-in-law, under arrest. He was escorted to the second precinct station by Officers Ken- dig and Rentch, and Officer Law remained at the house in charge of the body. Betore leav- ing the house the officers found on a washstand in one corner of the room a large Colt’s army revolver. THE MURDERER RETURNS. Officers Kendig and Rentch had been gone from the house but afew minutes when two colored men entered. One of them informed Officer Law that he was the dead woman's brother, The man with him, he said, was his friend, and he had come to see whether the woman was dead? ‘‘Where is her husband?” asked the officer. “This is her husband,” an- swered the dead woman’s brother, turning to hiscompanion. The man was in fact Robert Logan. When he discovered that his wife was dead he lost control of himself. He was taken to the police station,and charged with the murder. When placed behind the bars he cried like a child. He continued weeping and sobbing until daybreak, and he was completely broken down when taken to the sixth precinct station where the inquest was held. His brother-in-law, who gave him to the officer, stated that soon after the shooting, Robert came to his house and told what had occurred. THE INQUEST. The only witnesses who were able to tell the story of the shooting at the inquest were the prisoner's mother and brother and Benjamin Lancaster, his brother-in-law, to whose house he went after doing the shooting. His mother was first called. She testified that when her two sons, Robert and Albert, returned home Sunday morning they were under the influence of liquor and were quarreling because Albert refused to lend Robert some money. Robert went by mip first and Albert followed him. Presently a shot was fired and Albert retreated. Asecond shot was fired and both men came down. Robert said: “I think I have killed Susie.” He then left the house and was fol- lowed by his brother. Albert corroborated his mother’s testimony, except that he denied that his brother fired at him. When his brother fired the shot he told him to put the weapon away, as he could not be frightened with it. Lancaster testified@that Robert came to his house and told what he had done, and Officer Law testified to the arrest. There was no evi- dence to show exactly under what circum- stances the fatal shot was fired, nor was there anything to show that he had ever had any trouble with his wife. Robert was sent to jail, where he will be held to await the action of the grand jury. — A Sequel to the Witherbee Scandal. A LIBEL SUIT FoR $25,000 pamaces. A dispatch from Chicago states that a libe suit, in which the damages are laid at 225,000, was begun in that city Saturday by Mrs. Mary M. Butterfield against the Chicago Times, J. J. West, Clinton A. Snowden, and W. E. Wither- bee. The complainant is the mother of Mrs. Nettie Witherbee, formerly Nettie Dunlap, of Elgin, whose relations with Judge T. J. Mackey, of this city, were the occasion of many newspa- per articles last winter. The alleged libelous article isan interview published early in Jan- uary, purporting to be with the defendant, W. E. Witherbee, the brother of Mrs. Witherbee's husband, — Ridding the City of Glandered Horses. RESULTS OF A WEEK'S INSPECTIONS—DISEASED ANIMALS KILLED AND THE BODIES SENT OUT OF THE CITY. Dr. Kilborne, United States veterinary sur- geon for the District of Columbia, and Agent Key, of the Humane Society, are continuing the work of inspecting public and private stables in the District in search of glandered horses. A week or more ago they visited the herdic stables and killed two horses so diseased and quarantined three. A week ago last Sunday one of the quarantined animals died. The bo secre became alarmed and killed the other two before Agent Key and Dr. Kilborne returned. A further examination was made, and another horse was quarantined. They then visited the wharf, where another glandered horse was killed. The officials named also in- spected John White's stable in the alley be- tween F and G and 22d and 23d streets, and found two glandered horses, which they killed. ‘Ths dead Seca ware ant shipped down the river. The following day the stables of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad were in- spected, and the horses found to be in good condition. The work of inspection will be con- tinued until every stable in the District has been visited. Agent Key, speaking of the work, said that they encountered but one difficulty. Animals suffering from the glanders were, he thought. in some instances spirited away, sold, or sent into the country, where they will be likely to spread the diseas Mr. Dawson on the Sackville Matter. To the Editor of Tae EveNiNo Stan. | In your issue of November 1, upon informa- tion from another, it is stated that “Mr. Daw- son, who prepares the republican campaign textbooks, alee an Englishman, approves the course of the President, as he thinks Minister West ought to be dismissed.” In order to avoid future misconception of my views on this Sackville matter, permit me to say that while I have not hesitated to publicly denounce Lord Sackville’s extraordinary and inexcusable conduct, and to declare that, in my opinion, his own government should and would recall him, so an American citizen of foreign birth, whose sole allegiance is due to the land of his adoption—have Ino hesitancy in reaching the conclusion that the course of the President —— the episode has been any- thing but dignified, statesmanlike or patriotic.

Aftermath of the Races—Men Who Won Heavily. The meeting which closed at Ivy City Satar- day ‘was perhaps the most successful the club has ever held. While the first three days were miserable, owing to the rain, the racing during that time was good—even if the attendance was not good. The race in which Capt. Sam Brown's Reporter beat Badge three-quarters of a mile in 1:16, in mud fetlock deep, was as good a race as has been run this year over any track, and Badge no doubt owes his defeat in his next race to the hard race run with Re- porter. Mr. Cassatt was the largest winner during the meeting, with Byron McClelland second. Each won five races. J. H. McCor- ‘mick won all three steeplechases and a selling race with Pas! The W. B. Jennings, Green Morris, and W, G. Daly'won. threo reset poe gg Jenning, Walter Gratz, D. A. Honig, and . Maxwell two each, while W. P. Burch, Gov. Bowie, J. ther, and G. H.

Pittsburg Phil quit the meeting about $7,000 winner, Byron McClel- land added nearly $15,000 to his bank account, The Ghost worked his system to the tune of $9,000, while nearly all the small betters lost money. As stated in Taz Star Saturday, the club made about $10,000, and a prominent member said that it was the last time the club would ever turn over to the Fair Association all its earnings. The club will now either lease Ivy City or build a race-track of its own. regard to the combination spoken of in the morning paper tween horsemen to divide the purses if an extra meeting was given, Mr. F. M. Draney, of the executive committee of the Jockey Club, said to a Stax reporter to- day: “The committee never had the most re- mote idea of extending the meeting beyond the eight days er announced. “The extra meeting given last fall was not a success from a racing standpoint, and the committee had no desire to repeat a mistake that was made then. Another thing this is election week and it would have been impossible on that account to have extended the meeting. To say that the horsemen would have entered such a combination as is ken of is a gross injustice to them, Of all the owners here it is yery doubtful if there were two who would have done such a thing, and you know it takes two or more to make such a combination. No; you may say in Tue Star we don't believe there was a combination, and we never had an idea of extending our meet Seema Potomac Fossils. WHAT THE SCIENTISTS HAVE DISCOVERED IN THIS VICINITY. F. H. Knowlton, of the National Mu- seum, read a paper before the Biological Society Saturday night on the fossil woods and lignites of the Potomac formation. He said that specimens of silicified wood and lignite found in this formation indicate that centuries ago immense trees, belonging to the same species as those in California, grew upon the land which now forms this city. The Po- tomac formation has a thickness of 400 feet, di- vided into two members. The upper consists of clay and the lower member of sandstone. Nearly all of the fossils are found in the sandstone section. The largest trunk of silicified wood was found at the new reservoir in this city by Messrs. McGee & Ward. It was 20 feet below the surface and was from 30 to 40 feet long. It had a diameter of 2 feet. — Stopping the U. S. Mails. To the Editor of Tux Evenino STAR. L, W. J. has struck it exactly right unwit- tingly. His suggestion to excuse the fire de- partment from Sunday service is on the same plane, though not so bad, as closing the car- riers’ window Sunday morning. With equal propriety might the police force be excused, and with the same lack of good sense. It is a question of the protection of property and of important interests in each case. To a per- son whose mail is confined to one or two un- important letters per week the closing of the post-office is commendable. On the contrary, to one who has important matters in hand, de- manding watchfulness at all hours of every day, it is not only objectionable, but quite liable to be disastrous. It is the folly of ignorance and an utter want of appreciation of the aims and possibilities for usefulness of the carrier system to suggest a box for one desiring his mail with celerity, A better suggestion would be a Sunday morn- ing delivery, as on other holidays. fr the religious or other duties of » letter- carrier imeriare with his service to the Rabi, his place should be filled by one better adapted to the service required at his hands. What is good as to the carrier ig also applicable to the postmaster, The sentiment of that part of the community which opposes the running of trains and the dissemination of the news on Sunday should be tolerated only so far as it does not interfere with vested rights, v.

AMERICAN WOMEN SHOWING THEIR INCREASING INTEREST IN THE MECHANICAL ARTS, ETC. ‘The Commissioner of Patents, Mr. Benton J. Hall, has had prepared a list of women inventors or women to whom patents have been granted. This list has been printed and makes a folio pamphlet of forty-four pages. It gives not only the names of the patentees, but also the title of the patent and date of issue. The first patent issued was to Mary Kres, May 6, 1809, for straw weaving with silk or thread. Six years later Mary Brush obtained a patent for a corset, and then four years elapsed before another inventive woman appeared. This was Sophia Usher, whose patent was for ca®bonated liquid cream of tartar. Then again in 1822 Julia Planton secured a patent for a foot-stool. During the four following years a patent was issued each year to a woman, and = that sarin ane resent bere ea of en es, increase feminine ‘inventivenens has shown ‘marked a For instance, from the Ist of lanuary, 1888, to the 26th of June last, no less than sixty-six patents were issued to women, while during the year 1887 one hundred ani seventy-nine patents were so issued. ‘This latter number is the largest ever issued. While the names of THE ARTICLES PATENTED! show that they were generally in the line of fentinine wearing apparel and household labor- saving devices, yet many were of a character that shows the multiplied interests of women. As an instance, one woman patented a sub- marine telescope and lamp. Others were granted as follows: Improvement in reapii and mowing machines, improved war vessel, furnace for smelting ores, apparatus for punch- ing corrugated metals, method of construction for screw propellers, low-water indicators, ma- terial for packing journals and bearings, con- veyers of smoke and cinders for locomotives, burglar alarms for windows, &c.

Catherine Cox et al., just submitted in the Court in General Term, in- volved several interesting questions of real es- tate law. The proceeding begun in the Equity Court was an attempt by the trustees in a par- tition proceeding to enforce compliance by the purchaser, Owen Shughrue, with the terms of sale. The peas reasons assigned by the purchaser for relief from his purchase are— 1, That error exists in the record because de- cree for sale was granted without proof being adduced of certain allegations contained in the bill of complaint. 2. That inasmuch as the title offered to be conveyed by the trustees is simply one by adverse possession, it is not such as a ater! will be compelled by an equity court take. 3. That such a proceeding as the present will not bar the elaims of creditors upon the realty, they not being made parties hereto, although the administrator is in court, The trustees claim that the decedent, Wm, Cox, had acquired under the proof as to adverse ssion an indisputable title to the property In question.

By careful observation I have learned to tell exactly what portion of the paper each of my customers reads. “In that four-story house over there,” point- ing to an elegant residence on the other side of the square, “lives Mr. —-, whom you, of Sener, wack ee or tiy elo ene atl weg mi money, w! care: vestment creased in ‘amount so that now’ he is very rich.

He doesn’t give Tum Stan credit, how- ever, but presents these views as his own, reached after careful consideration and mature reflection. He usually stays half an hour, and — slowly toddles across the street to his ome. ' “Don't the old fellow get to be considerable of a bore?” asked the reporter. JUST THE OPPOSITE. “Oh, yes; but I have to stand it. I don't know as he bores me any more than the rest of his family. There's hisdaughter, really a very retty yor girl, who you will remember was Rdebutante last winter. She reads only. the society news in the paper and the items about weddings and elopements. She wouldn't know if the Treasury had been robbed of a million of doliars, but she can tell you of every engage- ment or marriage in the city about which any- thing has been printed. She reads the fashion news, too, of course, and makes the life of the sad-eyed little seamstress in the house a good deal of a burden.” “Does the young lady come over here and air her reading?” “Not in the evening, but she usually drops in in the morning and buys some chewing gum, and then I have a little chat with her. Her brother is the sporting member of the family. He comes in ‘and tells me about all the scraj ping matches, the base-ball es, tenni urnaments, boating news and horse races, That’s the class of news he reads. I know he playea the races at Ivy City, and he was pretty ‘d hit atfirst, but I think he made up his losses. He a d on all the election bets and the odds that have been given at dif- ferent times during the campaign. I don't think he has got any money up himself, but he has wagered a good many hats, boxes of cigars, and things of that kind. “There,” said the druggist, as Taz S#An man started to go, “I have given you a sample fam- ily and have told you the class of news that each member re: I think I could do the same with every family for whom I put = scriptions. You said to me one day, some e ago, that a newspaper had to cater to the tastes of every kind of person, and that started me in my observations. I used to wonder what some items were printed for, but I've come to the conclusion that there is never a single item of news, no, nor a single advertisement that isn’t read by some one.” —-_—_. Almost Another Crap Murder. JOSEPH EDWARDS CUT IN THE SIDE BY HIS BROTHER. The old mill-race, on the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, where the crap players gather almost every Sunday, was the scene yesterday afternoon of a free fight, in which Joseph Edwards was cut in the side and seriously injured by his brother, Jim, and Wm. Edwards, another brother, was struck with a brick. Joseph was attended by Dr. Carroll, and was afterwards removed to Freedman’s Hospital. <a OES, Exxcrion Retvrns in full will be displayed by stereopticon from cor. 434 and Penn. ave. n.w, to-morrow night. Risere Norses ears, sometimes a roaring, buzzing sound, or like the report of a pistol, are caused by ca- tarrh, that exceedingly disagreeable and very common disease. Loss of smell or hearing also results from ca- tarrh. Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier, is peculiarly successful remedy for catarrh, which it cures by eradicating from the blood the impurity which causes and promotes this disease. Try HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA, “TI used Hood's Sarsaparilla for catarrh, and received great relief and benefit from it. The catarrh was very disagreeable, especially in the winter, causing constant discharge from my nose, ringing noises in my ears, and pains in the back of my head. The effort to clear my head in the morning by hawking and spitting was pain- ful. Hood's Sarsaparilla gave me relief immediately, while in time I was entirely cured. I am never with- out the medicine in my house as I think it is worth its weight in gold.” Mrs. G. B. GIBB, 1029 8th st. n. w., Washington, D.C. CURES CATARRH. “T feel it my duty to say that I saw Hood's Sarsaps- rilla advertised and took two bottles. Iam completely cured of irregularities and constipation of my bowels, catarrh, and bronchial affections, I can recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla to strangers and friends.” H. H. DURGAN, Atlantic City, N.
