THE PRISONER ESCAPES—A COLORED MAN WHO BOARDS A TRAIN AT BRANDY STATION IS AR- RESTED ON HIS ARRIVAL IN THIS CITY ON SUSPICION. A telegram was received at police headquar- ters last night asking for the arrest of Willie Musco, a Colored man, wanted at Charlottes- ville, Va., for the murder of Policeman Seal in i Musco had been seen about that place for a week or two, and it is alleged that last evening he stole three umbrellas, and then went to another store aud siole some collars and cuffs. Policeman Seal was called, and as he was about to put the nippers on Musco the prisoner drew a pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the loft breast of the officer, causing his death in about fifteen minutes, PURSUIT OF THE MURDERER, The murderer started down the street with the pistol in his hand, and when pursued by another officer turned and fired at him. 1! officer emptied his revolver firing at the fug’ tive, who continued his flight and got ay The affair caused much excitement at Char- | lottesville. It was at first supposed that the murderer had gone to Lynchburg. A party at once started for that place well armed and the country was thoroughly searched. With the party was a piece of rope. This party returned this morning, being unsuccessful, ARRESTED ON ALRIVAL OF THE TRAIN HERE, The train, arriving here at 11:13 o'clock this morning, bore a colored man who bonrded the train at Brandy (about 35 miles from Charlottes- ville), anda telegram was sent by the train mento Officer Acton, in this city, and he, on the arrival of the train here (in company with Special Officer Augustus Lane) took the col- ored man in charge and carried him to head- uarters. He gave the name of Henry Mitchell, and protested that he had been in Culpeper county on a visit, and that he was on his return to his work at Terra Cotta. The description given of the murderer ia the cir- eular, containing a notification of a reward of $100, is as follows: “Willie Musco, abou| 7 color; height, 5 feet 10 inches; weight, rbout 145 pounds; square shoulders, large mouth, flat nose, poms py sear on forehead; hair short.

A Poor Chance for the Passage of Im- portant Pending Measures. WHY THE COMMITTEE ON RULES DECTINES TO HOLD A MEETING TO ARRANGE THE ORDER OF BUSINESS—THE INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT BILL LIKELY TO FALL. The friends of the international copyright bill are making a great effort to secure consid- eration for the measure by the House this ses- sion, but their chances of success seem slim. There is considerable opposition to the bill, but scarcely enough to defeat it under or nary circumstances, They believe that if they could get a day fixed for its consideration they could pass it. But they have almost despaired of this, The trouble is with the committee on rules. That committee still declines to hold a meeting, The chairmen of various committees having important bills on the calendar, to which there is no objection, have been doing all they could to induce the speaker to call a meeting of the committee to arrange the order of business for the Honse. There is an urgent necessity for such arrangement. In fact it will be impossible to dispose of any of these meas- ures unless some order of business is agreed upon, The members have, however, about en up the hope of getting a_ meeting of the committee. Mr. Cartisle and Mr. Mills are still raid of the pension bills, and doubt their bility to control the House, if they once let it loose from the present tie up. Besides the | pension bills there are some that take money from the Treasury, and others objectionable for other reasons, thet they are afraid of. This kept them from meeting during all the latter part of last session, After the election it was thought they would meet, bnt the manner in which the proposition has been received indi- cates that there will he no order of business arranged for this session. ‘This will practically cut of all but privileged measures, VIGOROUS OLD MEN. Interesting Meeting of the Oldest In- habitants’ Association. ' THEY GREET EACH OTHER HEARTILY AND HOPE FOR MANY HAPPY RETURNS — PLEASANT SPEECHES MADE—THE AGE OF MEMBERSHIP AND GOLDEN WEDDINGS—MEMBERS PRESENT. Before going tothe White House to make their annual call upon the President the mem- bers of the Association of the Oldest Inhabi- tants of the District held a meeting in their rooms in the Corcoran building. There wasa good attendance, and all the members seemed to be in « specially happy mood. They ex- changed the greetings of the season and wished each many returns of the day. In fact the old gentlemen were in such a social mood that it was difficult for the president, John Marbury, to obtain attention to his modest raps indicating that the meeting should come to order, Even after the business meeting had begun its orderly procedure was often inter- rupted by the greetings which marked the en- trance of some member into the room. How- ever, no one objected to these breeches of the rules of order, and the meeting went om very happily. President Marbury spoke a few words of greeting and express¢d the hope that the bright, beautiful day might be an omen of what the whole year would , apicg Szeto era, THESE GOOD WISHES FOR THE PRESIDENT were received with applause by the members, The report of the treasurer, Robert Ball, was found to be correct by the saditing committee, and then J, A. Wineberger stated that the case ordered to be bailt in the room for the better protection of the maps presented to the 7 lete cistion by Mrs. Stone had been omy “I got some paint,” added Mr. “and painted the case myself, and other work for which no charge is made.” One of the members jokingly said something about “scabs” and “scab work,” and the pres- ident in the same manner warned Mr. Wine- berger that he might get into trouble by making such admissions. He, however, thought his economy and zeal in the interests ot the association should be commended. “Tam well aware,” added Mr, Wineberger, continuing the joke, “that we have labor or- ganizations to contend with.” After here re had subsided Mr. John W. Shiles stated that H. Amidonand James E: ’” members of the association, were quite sic! He had visited them and they wished to be re~ membered to their fellow members. James A. ——— and Andrew Swartz were elected mem- ers, THE AGE FOR MEMBERSHIP AND GOLDEN WEDDINGS, Mr. Shiles, in speaking of a canvass recently made by him for new members, said that one man had said to him that he was not old enough to become a member. “I was then,” continued Mr. Shiles, with perceptibie sarcasm, “attend- Caught on Returning to This Cow ~ From His Retreat in Mexico. — Carcaco, Jan. 1.—A dispatch from Laredo, Texas, says: F.
