THE TRAGEDY WHICH STARTLED THE INMATES OF ‘THE FREEDMAN'S HOSPITAL THIS MORNING—A PATIENT NEARLY DEAD WITH CONSUMPTION ‘MURDERS BIS SLEEPING BROTHER, A NURSE. Freedman’s hospital was the scene of a start- ling murder about §:30 o'clock this morning. The tragedy occurred in a small room near the front door of ward No.1. The victim was Isaac Carey, a nurse in the hospital, and the mur- derer was his brother, Taylor Carey, who was ®@ patient in the hospital. Isaac was about twenty-eight years old and had been employed as @ nurse in the hospital for about six years. He first went there as a patient and made him- self so useful about the sick rooms that he was placed on the rollsas an employe. For several years he was night nurse in ward No. 5, but was recently promoted to day nurse in ward No.1. His brother Taylor is about thirty-five years old, and has a wife and two children. Nearly a year ago he left his family, and three months ago was admitted to the hospital asa Batters He is nearly dead — consumption. juffering from that disease he was given a cot in ward 2 where most of the patients are consumptives. Ward 2 is on the second floor, over ward 1, where Isaac was nurse. Last night Isaac left the hospital and came to the city where he visited some friends. It was late when he returned to the hospital and re- tired to his room, a small apartment near the front door. GETTING UP EARLY TO DO HIS BLOODY WORK. About 5 o’clock this morning Taylor arose and partially dressed himself. It was an un- usual hour for him to get up, but the other p: tients who saw thought nothing of it, as pa- tients sometimes get up early when they are feeling bad and cannot sleep. After puttin on his trousers, coat and vest, he walke slowly down stairs, for he was too weak to walk fast. Then he made his way to his broth- er’sroom, where the latter was sleeping soundly. The door was not locked and he en- tered. Louis Coakley, the might nurse, saw ee go in and followed him to see who he was. that he was the nurse’s brother, Coak- ing ed; ‘‘what are you doing here so early?” le anewered, “I want to see my brother.” Coakly paid no further attention to him, but left the room and went to the other end of the building to fill the = Taylor then closed the room door ALONE ety HIS BROTHER. The latter was lying on his backasleep, Oppo- site his cot was an empty cot on which he had preteen} thrown his clothes. His shoes and were beside the bed on the floor. A pe ball ull dog” aa belonging to the sleeping man was lying on his clothing on the vacant rey as losed the door and hear- ing the noise made by pouring the coal in the stove, Taylor picked up the revolver and fired a shot, sending 4 BULLET THROUGH HIS BROTHER'S BRAIN, The report of the weapon was heard by some of the patients, but most of them thought that something had fallen, as the closed door —— the lond report from being heard hroughout the building. After killing his brother Taylor left the room and walked to the front door, where he stood for a moment, and, thinking he had not completed his deadly work, he returned and fired a second shot, sending this bullet like the other through his brothes’ 's head. The second report satisfied —— that the noise was made by a weapon, and Henry Tolliver, the day nurse, and Louis Coakley, the night nurse, went’ with David Flood, a patient, to the room where the shoot- ing had been done. Passing through the cloud of smoke Tolliver discovered blood dripping from the bed, ‘He's dead,” exclaimed ee ver. COOLNESS OF THE MURDERER. Flood follewed Taylor upstairs to his room. The murderer sat beside his bed and finished his toilet, arranging his collar and cuffs, Then he picked up a paper, which he read until the arrival of Dr. Shadd ‘and George W. Henson, the night watchman, “T want you,” " said the watchma: “All right,” answered Taylor, ‘I am ready.”’ Dr. Shadd examined the dead manand found that the bullets had entered his brain, causing imstant death, One bullet had entered his right temple, while the other entered his fore- head just above the right eye. Isaac never moved after the first shot was fired. Henson peas took the prisoner and wea from the ital and vent to the eighth precinct ae where a charge of murder was placed against the prisoner, and he was locked up, SAW TAYLOB ENTER HIS BROTHER’S ROOM. David Flood, the patient, said that he saw Taylor when he came down stairs and entered his brother's room. He heard the report of the weapon, but thought it was Isaac shooting arat or snapping acap. Then he saw Taylor come outof the room and walk tothe door. He seemed bewildered, and after looking about for a couple of minutes he returned to the room, as if to say, “If he isn’t dead I'll finish him.” He again entered the room and fired the second shot. Flood said that Taylor did not speak about the shooting before he left the hospital. THE MURDEREN'S STATEMENT. When a reporter called at the station this morning the murderer was sitting in his cell saying in a low tone. “Oh, God! Oh, God!” He is a good-looking colored man, and was dressed in a neat suit of black broadcloth. He was very weak, and could scarely speak above a whisper. When asked why he killed his brother he answered: “We had some trouble.” Taylor said that his brother raised some objection to his marrying the woman of his choice, and after his marriage, he said, Isaac always made it unpleasant for him. Last April, he said, he left his wife and children and eld his furniture to his brother Isaac. The lattter could not make the promised payments and he had to take the furniture back. Three months ago, he said, he entered the hospital as a patient, He is a Good Samaritan, and is a member of Progress lodge. Some days ago, he said, » member of the sick committee gave Isaac $1.25 for him. Isaac, he said, came to him and said he had spent the money, and to make it all right he euler: aay sap the loan of it. He declined the loan because, he said, Isaac had treated him badly. They had some words about the money and Isaac abused him, This morning, he said, he went to the latter's room and seeing the weapon on the bed, he picked it up and ended the trouble by shooting his brother while he was aslvep. THE INQUEST TO BE HELD TO-MORROW. The police notified Coroner Patterson of the killing and the body was removed to the morgue, where Dr. Hartigan made a post mortem ex- amination. The inquest will probably be held to-morrow. ALEXANDRIA.

Dr. Webb, former pas- tor of the church, preached a commemorative discourse. Dxownep.—A colored man named Branders Jackson, who has a family here, and who has a dwelling in Smith’s row, on Queen, near Fay- ette street, was drowned last evening, about 5 Pheer from the steamer J. W. Thompson by the breaking of a rail as the boat was entering this harbor. Jackson had for some time been a ie ie i KEATING’S FATAL ‘FALL. It was Purely Accidental and Not Sui- cidal. STATEMENT OF DR. GIBBS, WHO SAW THE UNFORTU- NATE MAN LOSE HIS BALANCE—DECEASED NOT A DRUNKARD—A DANGEROUS STAIRWAY-;GOVEBN- ‘MENT CLERKS WILL ASK TO HAVE IT REMODELED. The question has been raised whether Mi- chael Keating, the War department messenger who met his death yesterday morning by fall- ing over the stairway railing, was the victim of an accident or deliberately committed suicide, and a Stak reporter consequently made an inves- tigation of the case this morning, with a view of determining this question. In the first place, he learned from the clerks who knew Keating well and saw him and conversed with him in the morning that the unfortunate man was not, as_has been said, in an advanced state of intoxication, Some of them even say that he was — eying ‘but it is probable that he had bee a very little that morning. He had been ‘veroraing his duties up to the time of starting to id the stair- way, and was on his way to Soler an Official message for one of the clerks when he fell. DR. GIBBS DESCRIBES THE FALL. There was but one person who saw him as he went over the railing, Dr. Gibbs, a clerk in Mr. Salter’s division, whose desk is in front of a window that looks out =. the stairway. He informed the reporter this morning that Keating was going slowly along the corridor, with his band on the railing to steady himself, and when he got to the first step, which is xen narrow by the rail, he seemed to lose his bal ance, his feet went from under him, and he toppled over the rail without uttering a sound. A LAST CLUTCH AT THE RAIL. There was absolutely nothing in the motion to indicate a desire on Keating’s part to fall; in fact he seemed toclutch at the rail, but could not reach it. At this point the railing sinks from a height of about 334 feet to 30 inches, a difference sufficient to throw the center of gravity of a man’s body from below the rail to some distance above it, and even to an absolutely sober man there is a considerable amount of danger. The least slip on the steps, which are very narrow on the turn, would tend to throw a person off his balance yah Keating, said Dr. Gibbs, was, perhaps, a little unsteady, but he was not drunk, He has been a total abstainer from liquor for eight or ten years, and it was only in the past two or three days that he has drank a drop. SURGEON GREENLEAF’S OPINION. Surgeon Greenleaf, who made a cursory ex- amination of the body as it lay on the tiles, said this morning that there were no external marks of any injury whatever. In his opinion Keating’s body must have been somewhat foubied as he fell. striking the floor on the hips, which drove the spinal column into the brain and dislocated his neck. It would seem reasonable to suppose that a man ji ing from such a height with an idea of autte would fall ‘in a heap”; that is, some portion of his body would be badly crushed. He would be almost sure to strike the floor on his feet or with his legs doubled un- der him, while if he fell with his body slowly circling, he might strike in any way. The fact that he fell on his back seems to prove that he fell accidentally. The evidence of the eye-witness, Dr. Gibbs, proves conclusively at Keating was the victim of an accident. UNEASINESS ABOUT THE RAILING. Since his death the stairway railings have become the objects of much nervous exami- nation, and now that they have been actually roven dangerous there is some talk among feo sacks or petitioning for their reconstruc- tion at the turning point. If the level portion were carried out a foot before the curve be- gins the danger woul be be greatly lessened. Keating is said by those who had acquaint- ance with him to have been a diligent, quiet and polite man, and always considerate of the feelings and comfort of those around him. The terrible griefs that have befallen him during the past six months make the ease particularly touc Six months ago his son was drowned and. tha news of the. sdgident re. sulted in the death of his daughter. These two shocks caused a weakening of his wife’s health and mind, and it is probable that this last sad accident by which Keating lost his life will se- riously affect her.

Lusk, speaking to a Stan reporter to- day of the work in the water department, said that the winter weather had caused a suspen- sion of the work of laying smaller mains, but all the large mains provided for under the cur- rent appropriation had been laid. There will be considerable work to do in the apring laying the smaller mains. The completion of the large | are 24-inch main, on 14th street northwest, and its continuation into South Washington to Bstreet south, and hence along 8B street to 10th street, where it connects with the old main, has improved the service in South Washington. The water has been turned on. and Capt. Lusk thinks the ser- vice is more satisfactory, as there have been no complaints. The new 14th-street main connects with the 36-inch main on K street north. The area in South Sy feeci laos whose supply is thus reinforced was formerly supplied from the east- ward by the main on B street south, that con- nected with the mains on 44, street and Penn- sylvania avenue. This main ended at 10th street. Capt. Lusk said to a Star reporter to- day that he thought the new main had secured all the benefits hoped for. While it improves the service in South Washington he thinks it does so without ex- pense to any other section. No more water is taken from the K-street main, but the supply is delivered directly through a large main in- stead of through a network of small mains, There is a great saving in this, and so the head or pressure is much greater now in the south section. Before much of the head was lost by friction, A NEW QUESTION, After a long fight to secure a reversal of the action of the Commissioners refusing to grant alicense to Camille Solari, on F street, anew step has been taken in the case, Mr. Solari’s license was rejected on the ground that he had violated the Sunday liquor law. Nowa new ap- plication, with the usual accompanying papers, jas been filed for the same place in the name of Mr, Solari’s father, Camille Solari, sr. Mr. Solari, jr., it is stated, has sold out on account of ill-health, In a former case, where a license was refused under similar circumstances, a new ap Josser was made by a man who claimed to have purchased the place and a license was granted to him. The Commissioners had the. case of Mr. Solari before them to-day, but took no action. Mr. Wheatley told a Srar reporter that as only Mr. Webb and himself were present, Maj. Raymond being absent from the city, they had taken no action. They prefer to have the case consid- ered by the fullboard. Meanwhile, the mailed hand of the law will keep Mr. Solari’s bar-room closed, THE SEVENTH STREETQROAD. Mr. Forsyth, the District surveyor, has re- ceived instructions to make a survey of the 7th street road, so as to settle the lines of the road. The road was originally laid out with a width of 90 feet all the way from the Boundary to the District line, It was improved, however, only to a width of 66 fect, and owners on either side moved their fences out, and in some cases it is claimed built their houses on ground that had been dedicated to the pal uublic use. This en- croachment, it is stated, is not all on one side but has taken place on both sides of the road.
