A WOMAN BADLY BEATEN. She is so Severely Injured that She May Die. ASERIOUS AFFEAY IN ‘‘PIPETOWN”—WOMEN THE PRINCIPAL COMBATANTS — A FATAL RESULT FEARED—WAS A BASE-BALL BAT USED TO IN- FLICT- THE INJURIES? An affray that will probably terminate in a homicide occurred yesterday morning in the section of the city called “Pipetown,” between the Pennsylvania railroad tunnel and the new bridge across the Eastern branch at the foot of Pennsylvania avenue. The parties concerned in the row, as alleged, are Frank Campbell, an Italian, Anna Buddington and Annie Episcope. The latter was so seriously injured that it is feared she will die. The fight was the result ofa neighborhood quarrel, there being several factions in “Pipetown.” ‘THE BEGINNING OF THE TROUBLE dates back several months, The women had not been on speaking terms for a long time. On Washington's birthday Annie Episcope was before the Police Court ona charge of pro- fanity, and the case was dismissed. Anna Bud- dington appeared in the case as one of the witnesses for the prosecution. ‘This in- creased the bad feeling then existing, and an outbreak has been expected almost every day since. Yesterday war was formally de- clared, and Annie Episcope, as already stated, is confined}tofher bed from the effects of the in- juries she sustained. and will probably not re cover. Peter Bizcombo, who claims to be Annie Episcope’s husband, w Justice Tait, mm East Washington. and swore out a warrant charging “Frank Campbelland Anan | Buddington with committing an assault and battery on the wife of Peter Bizcombo.” The defendants live at No. 1362 L street. Anna Buaddington is a widow and has two children, Frank Campbell boards in her house. The other parties live at No. 1858 on the same street. ARREST OF ANNA BUDDINGTON AND FRANK CAMP- BELL. ‘The warrant was served yesterday afternoon by Policemen Wright and Thompson, and the defendants were locked up in default of bail. Application for bail was made, but Judge Miller refused to accept it on account of the danger- ous condition of the injured woman, She was attended by Dr, J. V. Carroher, who furnished the following certificate: “Annie Episcope is so severely injured that I fear she die.” Information received by the police is to the effect that the injuries were inflicted by Anna Buddington with a base-ball bat. ‘The prisoners were taken to the Police Court this morning, and the case was continued to await the result of the victim's injuries, MRS, BUDDINGTON’S STATEMENT. Mrs. Buddington, when seen by a Star re- porter, denied that she used a base-ball bat as a weapon. Since Washington's birthday, when she appeared as a witness in the Police Court against the injur@ woman, she says the iatter has done everything in her power to make trouble for her (Mrs. Buddington); that yes- terday morning as she (Buddington) was pass- ing 14th and L streets on her way home she met Annie; that she (Buddington) had her arm fall of provisions; that Annie Episcope walked up to her and slapped her in the face, at the same time calling her a “—— old —.” that Mr. Moran, who witnessed the affair, called at them, “Let 'er go, Gallagher;” that she (Bud- dington) went home and waited at her door until Annie came along; that she asked her for an explanation and Annie struck her with an umbrella; that then the fight began and she (Buddington) struck Annie Episcope several times with her fist. While they were engaged in the fight, Bizcombo came out with an axe, Frank Campbell came out of the house and attempted to pull her (Buddington) into the house. Annie Episcope said: ‘Never mind, Frank, I don't want to hurt you, I want tokill this old —.” Bizcombo, she said, struck at her (Buddington) with the axe. He did not strike her, but the axe struck the door and left its mark. Concerning the allegation that she used a base-ball bat, Annie said that her chil- dren were playing with a bat when the police- men called at her house, and that’s why they claimed that she used the bat. She thought nore Bizcombo inflicted the injuries on Annie's ——__ Real Estate Matters. John Fletcher Hurst has bought of A. W.

What East Washington Wants. To the Editor of ‘THE EVENING STAR: In presenting the claims of East Washington for a Commissioner yesterday, no name was mentioned in our interview with the President but that of 8, C. Clarke, in accordance with the instructions of our association. It is provable that your reporter received the impression to the contrary from the remarks of some mem- ber of our delegation, but if xo, it was simply the expression of his individual opinion. We did say to the President, however. that if he could find a better man in East Washington, appoint him, What we want is a representa~ tive on the board, and the best man that can be found. W. C.

Havens Richards, president of George- town university, has just returned from Eliza- beth, New Jersey, where he went to present to John Gilmary Shea the diploma of doctor of laws and the gold medal awarded to him at the late celebration of the centenary. Shea is at present confined to his bed with a broken knee-cap, the consequence of a fall received while returning from a meeting of the Histori- cal association in New York. This eminent writer is regarded as the most profound his- torical scholar yet produced by the Catholic church in America, His chief eminence is pear based upon his researches into the istory of the Catholic church in America, and it was for the volume on the life and times of Archbishop Carroll that the medal was awarded him by Georgetown university at the celebration of its centenary, as the work con- tains the early history of the college, which was founded by the venerated archbishop, ‘The medal was struck in gold, and was of the same size as the medals commemorating the ar which were presented to President Cleveland and Cardiual Gibbons, The obverse of the medal contains a bust in profile of Dr. Shea, with the full name running pavallel with the rim. On the reverse, inclosed within half- wreaths of laurel and of oak is the inscription: “Georgetown university on her hundredth an- niversary to the historian of the Catholic church in America for his work, the Life and ‘Times of Archbishop Carroll.” The coin isa fine specimen of medallurgy. fensdiatly recoghize in the, modal a strtug ly a striking fidelity of likeness to the original.

Without attempting to controvert the absurd conclusion of the writer that “the civilized person who has the ill-lnck to live 2.000 years ence is likely to be deaf and dumb,” a con- clusion which does not follow even from his false premises and which was probably not in- tended to be taken in earnest, since (to quote his own words) he ‘came off the scientific perch” to make it, I beg leave to point out some of the errors which are recorded as sober facts. He says: “It has been recently shown that during the last thirty years, while the popula tion of the United States has simply doubled, the number of deaf and dumb people in this country has been multiplied by five.” There are no statistics of the population of the country nor of the number of the deaf | that the burglarclimbed the posts of the porch, since the census of 1880. According to that census the total population of the country was 50,155,783, and the number of deaf mutes 33,878, According to the census of 1850 the total popu- lation was 23,191,876 and the number of deaf mutes 9.794, It will be seen from these figures that during the thirty years the population of the United States more than doubled and that the number of deaf and dumb people was not multiplied by five. The following table shows the relative figures at each census since 1850: Ss | 3 | = Proportion of deaf,onein— THE INCREASE IN THE PROPORTION OF THE DEAF, as shown by the above table, was all gained within the last of the three decades, 1870-1880. It may have been due in some degree to the marriage of the deaf with the deaf, but it may also be explained (1) by a great epidemic of cerebro-spinal meningitis, which prevailed in that and the preceding’ decade, producing numerous cases of deafness, and (2) by the greater pains taken to secure accuracy in the census of 1880 a8 compared with all previous censuses, “Rene Bache” continues: “This really ap- palling increase has no other cause than the intermarriage of persons born thus defective, the offspring of such unions being almost in- variably similarly afilicted. * * * If, on the other hand, they take partners who are normally equipped ‘as regards the primary senses, the resulting offspring are more than apt to be born deaf and dumb,” OFFSPRING OF DEAF PARENTS. The increase, as has been shown above, is much less “appalling” than “Rene Bache” as- serts, and, such as it is, has other causes than the one he assigns, As to the statements that “the offspring of such unions are almost inva- riably similarly afflicted” and that, when the deaf marry hearing persons, “the resulting off- ring are more than apt to be born deaf and dumb,” the fact is that deaf parents rarely have deaf children. Of the 1,886 deaf persons edu- cated at the Illinois institution, the largest school for the deaf in the world, 272 have mar- ried deaf persons after leaving school and 21 have married hearing persons. I do not know the total number of children these marriages have produced, but Dr. P. G. Gillett, the super- intendent of the institution, says they have been as fruitful of offspring as the average of marriages in gociety at large, some of them re- sulting in large families of children, Only 16 ot them have deaf children, Of the 500 pupils o THE MINNESOTA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF over thirty have married and have children, but none of these are deaf, Iam personally acquainted with at least twenty-eight married deaf persons now residing in the city of Wash- ington, of whom twenty-two are married to deaf and six to hearing persons (seventeen couples in all) and not one of them has a deaf child. So tar as Iam aware there are no deaf parents of deaf chilgren in the city. Similar statistics might be cited from many sources, On the other hand deaf parents sometimes have several deaf children. and when a large num- ber of marriages of the deaf are collated, as those of the former pupils of the Illinois insti- tution above mentioned, they showa far greater proportion of deaf offspring than is to be found in the community at large. Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, who is investigating this subject with energy and ability, has a list of 528 deaf children born in this country previous to 1880, of whom one or both parents were deaf. He regards the marriages of the deaf with anxiety, believing that, if continued under certain con- ditions from generation to generation, they may ultimately result in ‘the formation of a deaf variety of the human race;” but he is ready to admit that thus far inthe history of the world the deaf children of deaf — have been far less numerous than their hearing children, THE DEAP-MUTE PROBLEM is not yet solved, but it is receiving earnest at- tention from thoughtfal men, and we may hope its solution is not impossible. It seems to be unquestionable that in some families there ex- ists an hereditary tendency to deafness. When members of a family in which this tendency exists (whether they themselves are deaf or not) marry other members of the same family, or when members of two different families in which the tendency exists (whether themselves deaf or not) marry one another, the tendency is doubtless transmitted to their offspring with increased intensity. Hence, probably, on the one hand, the numerous cases of deaf children of related hearin, heads of our schools for the deaf and attributed to consanguineous marriage; hence, also, on the other hand, the striking cases’ of deaf children of deaf parents, sometimes run- ning through several ' successive gen- investigated = by Dr. Bell. and suggesting to his ingesious_mind the pos- sibility of “the formation of a deaf variety of the human race.” Under certain conditions, it is clear, deafness is transmitted; under others it is not; but just what the respective condi- tions are has not yet been fully determined. It is hoped that the researches Dr. Bell and others are now making. which involve the examination of afar wider rauge of facts than have yet been obtainable, will greatly increase our knowledge of important subject, and that as a result the conditions under which deafness is transmitted will be so well understood that in many cases the deaf may be advised to fol- low the choice of their own hearts in marriage without any fear whatever of evil consequences, while in other cases, where they ought not to marry persons similarly «fflicted, or possibly not to marry at all, they may be warned more effectually than hitherto of the danger incurred.

TYLER. A thief succeeded last evening in stealing | about $11,000 worth of jewelry from Mra. A.C. | Tyler, the wife of Lieutenant Tyler. a retired naval officer,at 1707 I street. When Mrs. Tyler went down stairs to dinner about 7 o'clock she | left her jewelry case on the window-sill of the | rear room. There is a porch back of the house, the roof of which is just below the second- story window. The adjoining house on the east stands back from the street, and access therefrom to the Tyler house is quite easy. The | east end of the Tyler house porch, mentioned above, is covered with vines, which would make concealment of a thief climbing the bal- cony quite easy, There are three theories as to the robbery.* One is that the thief first en- tered unobserved the a joining house, and then gained a ‘ition on the roof of the porch | mentioned, went thence through the back | window of the Tyler house. Another theory is | and the third and iast is that he may have | entered the Tyler house unobserved and locked | himself in the room, sscured the casket and | escaped over the balcony roof. At any rate, | while the family and some guests were at din- | ner one of the domestics who had becn engaged | with some of the young ladies in the upper rooms had occasion to go into Mra. Tyler's | parents collected by the | room, which she had left open but a few ‘min- | utes before, and found the door closed. She at first supposed that some of the children had | locked her out, and going to two other deere | found both closed, This aroused her suspicions that something was wrong, and she at once notified the family. The door was forced and the casket was found all right, but the con- tents—a diamond star, several tinger-rings, scarf-pins anda small gold-plated tray—had | disappeared, The police were duly notified, and a description given of the stolen gems. WHAT LIEUT, TYLER SAYS. . Tyler's scarf was unkemptly tied | ot because it is the habit of that gentleman to wear bis neckgear thus, but because his stock of scarf-pins was entirely de- pleted and there was nothing wherewith to | fasten the scarf neatly under hiscollar. Lieut. | | Tyler thinks the thief climbed up the posts of | the back porch and jumped on hearing the noise made by the servant when she tried the door, as deep footprints were found in the soft soil below, which, when measured according to the Garborian process, were found to be those of a man wearing « number seven boot. sean DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

Reported for THE EVENING STAR, Suit Betweex Wasurxetontans.—The cir- cuit court, Judge Keith, did not resume its session joiey. until afternoon. The | suit of Richard L. Rochford, P. R. Dwyer and | others vs. Thomas B. Entwisle and others has been decided. The parties are residents of Washington. The plaintiffs are heirs of Ferd Rochford, and the defendants. including Build- ing Inspector Entwisle. are the heirs and de- visees of Mrs. P. Rochford, nee Entwisle. Mr. Rochford at his death left the Spring Park farm. near Alexandria to his wife for lite, and also made her his administrator. Among the assets were notes, etc. On her death suit for $3,100 was brought against the heirs, who took her estate for her alleged negligence in not enfore- ing payment of notes, and a verdict of 6500 was rendered yesterday. On the probate side of the court the will of the late Orlando Wood, who died in Washington, was admitted to pro- | bate. Miss M. E. Hill, Miss Hattie Hill and Miss V. Nash were his legatees, and Miss M. E. Hill qualified as executrix. The estate of C. P. Mayo was committed to the city sergeant for administration. Tur Canat Case.—At the United States court here yesterday afternoon Jadge Hughes an- nounced his decision in the case of the claim of the corporation of Alexandria in the assets of the Alexandria Canal company in order to satisfy debts due the city of Alexandria. This was the end in that cause of a long litigation of the United States against the city of Alexan- | dria on account of the canal, Gen. H. H. Wells, one of the former lessees of the canal, repre- senting the government, and Messrs. 8. G. Brent and F, L. Smith representing the city of Alexandria. Suit was instituted, after the | canal was destroyed by the cutting off of the aqueduct, to dissolve the canal compa its debts and apportion its assets. The ¢: Alexandria was compelled to make good a por- tion of the canal stock which it agreed, in | | 1886, to deliver to the United States, but failed j todo. The city, however, filed its c! $80.000 advanced to the canal, with interest, making the whole claim about £160,000. The United States claimed that this debt was out of date, but i t wes found that 600 was not barred by time. Then the United States urged that the debt had been paid, or was offset by discount on the bonds which the city had given in exchange for canal stock fifty years ago, but Judge Hughes heldthese objections invalid, and decreed that the canal company owes the cit 00 with interest. This will cover all that remains of the amount paid in on the sale | of the Alexandria canal bed and locks some time ago. The United States has, however, en- tered an appeal, and the case will go to the Su- | preme Court. | Nores.—The Southern M.

If asked in what does the physical training of the American soldier consist, the writer should be compelled to answer that, other than a modicum of drill, there is none, To laymen this declaration may be astounding, but it is not the less true.

As for educational exercises, none are prescribed, Swimming, which is both recreative and ed:cational, and should be compulsory, is seldom practiced, even when the opportunity offers. The newly joined recruit is put through the “setting-up” and squad drill for a week or two, by which time he gets his Springfield rifle, and. owing to the scarcity of men, often goes on guard before h to salute properly. This scarcity is principally due to the small com- panies and seattered condition of our little army, and, in part, to the large number of men employed on extra and daily duty. The latter practice is the bane of the service. The soldier's former occupation is entered upon his descriptive list at the time of enlistment, and, if a carpenter, blacksmith, tinner, brickmason, plumber, painter, or team ster, the post quartermaster has him detailed on extra or daily duty in that capacity before he has learned to depress his toes, If a farmer or baker, he becomes the victim of the post treasurer and passes his enlistment in the post garden or bakery.
