The Story of the Georgetown Assault and Robbery as Told in the Police Court. The story of the bold assault and robbery which occurred about $ o'clock Monday night On 29th street, between Water and Canal streets, in Georgetown, was told in the Police Court Yesterday. William Taylor, an old man, and a Young man named John French. who reside at No, 2727 K street, were on their way to 29th and Bridge streets to purchase some feed. They were met by two negroes, one of whom asked the old man, “How much money is you got” “None belonging to you,” responded the old man. “What is you got?” the negro then asked of the other man. “Nothing but a silver watch,” responded French. The negro then grabbed the watch anda tussle followed. The boy screamed and one of alt him a severe blow on the head lub, inflicting a severe wound. Pistol shots were fired by one of the negroes. The old man’s hand wes struck by one of the bullets, and he cried: “Ob. Lord. I am shot!” Their wounds were dressed in a neighboring house and the police were notitied of what had oc- earred. William Hunter. a colored citizen, who was attracted to the scene. arrested Wil- liam Humbles and Charles Tibbs as the high- waymen and turned them over to the police. They proved to be the guilty parties according to the statements of the injured persons. The prisoners were charged before Judge Miller with highway robbery, and Humbles was also charged with the assault on French. Judge Miller heard the testimony of witnesses for the rosecution showing the facts as above stated. he court also heard testimony for the defense in the case of assault. CONFLICTING TESTIMONY OF THE ACCUSED MEN. Humble stestitied that he had been in “Boston” during the evening drinking with some com- panions. After leaving that section of the city they went down toward the canal, They went in an eating house and got two five-cent lunches. When they left the eating house they met a boy playin “orging.” Witness asked the boy how mue would take for the Musical instrument. and he answered “fifteen cen Defendant said: “I'll give five cents if you put it in y onhe said ther were standing on a corner when some white men came along and said: “There are the black — of — now.” One of th men invited them down in the dark. They went with them, and one of the white men threw a brick at witness, Another of the white men had two pistols, and a third man had one revolver. Defendant denied that he fired the shots or that he had a revolver. Tibbs was called. but his statement differed from that of his companion in crime. THE JUDGE'S SHARP COMMENTS. Judge Miller said that this was an outrageous assault and he wished he had the sentencing of tthe prisoners. In the assault case he was go- ing to impose the maximum penalty, and only wished he couid send him away from the Dis- trict for life. Humbles was given eleven mouths and twenty-nine days for the assault, and both prisoners were held in 22,000 bail for the action of the grand jury for the robbery. est acon Rockville Gossip. WHAT IS GOING ON IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY—A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS—PERSONAL NOTES. Correspondence of Tux EVENING Stan: Rocxvitte, March 27, 1889. Owing to the enforced absence of the State's attorney and several other members of the bar engaged in the trial of Edgar M. Watkins for the killing of Edward Trail some months ago, now in progress at Ellicott city, the circuit court for this county adjourned over from yesterday evening until Monday next, when the criminal docket will be taken up. The cases of James E. Welch and Winfield S. Steer for man- slaughter in wrecking a train on the Metropoli- tan Branch railroad in October last have been assigned for trial on Tuesday next. The grand jary is still in session, Waters Glovd, aged about seventeen years, son of Mr. Samuel Gloyd, of Gaithersburg yesterd: ening fell from the top of a porch of the new residence of Mr. A. J. Almoney, at the west end of the town, and was so badly injured about the bedy that he had to be re- moved to his home. Mr. W. W. Welsh, a prominent merchant of this place, is lying quite iil at his home here. Mrs. Ann Willinms, a highly-respected and well-known old resident of*Poolesville district, Was stricken with paralysis some days ago and died on Friday. She was buried at the Bealls- ville cemetery on Saturday evening. Deceased was the mother of Mr. Arthur Williams, of Washington. Mrs. C. B. Hall, of Poolesville, left that place a few days ago for an extended visit to relatives and friends in New York. A painful accident happened to John Prater, colored. near Poolesvilie on Monday. In at tempting to mount a colt the animal reared up, the pommel of the saddle striking Prater under bin and fracturing his jaw-bone on both Medical sid was summoned and the « reduced, but he is still unable to eat anything. . Mr. John Bready, of Olney district, one of the most successful farmers of the county, has been called upon by the democrats of Rock- ville's district to become a candidate for county Commissiouer at the next election. Mrs. Leathana M. Rabbitt has been granted by the orphan’s court letters of administration on the estate of Isaac O, Rabbitt, deceased. S.A. M. — More Trarxs to New Yorx.—The Baltimore and Ohio railroad company has again increased the facilities for travel to and from Washington by establishing a complete service of fast ex- Press trains between this city and New York | and by additions to its Philadelphia schedule. All the trains are equipped with Pullman's parlor and sleeping cars, and the high reputa- tion for punctuality achieved by the Baltimore and Ohio trains to Philadelphia will be fully maintained in its New York service. e ————___ Quvees Victonta Meets Qvezy Curistrxa.— Queen Victoria visited San Sebastian, in Spain, Yesterday, and there met Queen Regent Chris- tuna, of Spain. Prince and Princess Henry, of Battenberz. accompanied Queen Victoria.” Sir Francis Ford, the British ambassador at Madrid, and representatives of Queen Regent Christina, met the royal visitor at Irun, on the frontier. where a train was waiting to convey her majesty to San Sebastian. Upon thearrivai of the train at Madrid the queen was greeted with salvos of artillery and volleys from the troops that lined the route tothe royal castle. The queen re- gent was waiting at the station, together with humerous officials and deputations. ‘The queen, upon alighting from the train, kissed Christina on both cheeks. The royal party then drove to the castle, where luncheon was served. About 4 o'clock the two queens went to the town hall, where Queen Victoria received the mayor of the town. and afterward witnessed a series of basque dances and games inthe square. From the town hall the party drove to the railway Station, where Victoria and Christina exchange: affectionate adieu: ———— eee —-___ Axotaer Attemrt on tHe Czar's Lire.—The ew Vienna Tagbiatt publishes a story of a nar- row escape the czar and czarina had while traveling from St. Petersburg to Oatchina. It is said that an obstruction was found on the line over which the imperial train was to pass, and that several persons have been arrested for connection with the alleged plot against the ezar's life. The story is not confirmed by ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. Dr. Shufeldt’s Suggestions Concerning their Uses and Management. Dr. R. W. Shufeldt in an article in the Popu- iar Science Monthly for April on “Zoological Gardens; their Uses and Management.” says: “Rarely has it been in the history of the world that acity which has become famous as a scien- tific and literary center has not, sooner or later, inaugurated, developed, and maintained its collection of living wild animals, its zoo- logical gardens. Indeed, in modern times, as of old, in large civilized communities, it has come tobe where such establishments are in existence, and kept up to a high state of per- fection and growth, that they are the very badge denoting the presence of marked intellectual activity along the lines we have indicated, With respect to the instances of this in history, they are too well known to the general reader to require enumeration here, while we are all familiar with the names of those cities of our own day wherein such insti- tutions are now flourishing. In modern times, again, the enormous impulse which the bio- logical sciences have received, the far keener appreciation on the part of the reading public in such matters, and the pressing necessity for such material as zoological gardens can alone supply the morphologist artist and animal his- torian are, we must believe, the principal forces that eventually give birth to these col- lections. “History goes to show,” the writer says, “that the superb zoological gardens now maintained im London were dest opened in 1828; since which time, down to 1837, 24,572,405 visitors were en- tered upon the register-books of the manage- ment.

Russian detectives have been sent to Switzer- land to negotiate for the extradition of the Ni- hilists who have taken refuge there. Count Hoyos, the trusted friend of the late Crown Prince Rudolph, is said to have fought a duel with and shot Count Baltazzi, the un: of the late Baroness Vetsera, whose death associated with that of the crown prince. The duel is said to have been fought at a village in the south of France. In a duel with swords yesterday between the Paris journalists Foucher and Lissagory, the former was seriously wounded, Hon. Guy Downay, an English member of parliament and an officer in the household of the duke of Connaught, was killed by a buffalo on Tuesday while hunting on Masa Island, southern Africa, The empress of Austria is ill. Many persons were killed in a collision on the recently opened railway between Takee and Tientsin. China. As the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, whose death was reported yesterday, died without male issue, the title becomes extinct. The duke accompanied the Prince of Wales on the American trip in 1860. He was a member of the celebrated Grenville family. His grand- father is supposed to have been the original Marquis of Carabas in Disraeli’s ‘Vivian to convince any friend of education of the ben- efits that humanity has derived hence, and of the refining influences which have through this center alone been brought into play.” THE FORM OF THE GROUNDS, Dr. Shufeldt continuing says: “When a city distinguished as being a scientific center, or mayhap the national capital—and this itself may be sucha city—determines upon establish- ing a zoological garden within its precincts, a great deal depends upon the site which is chosen for the purpose. If possible, the form of the grounds should be a regular figure, an oblong being one of the best, with a long side toward the direction whence come the prevailing winds, as this assists in securing | not likely to fill up entirely with houses as the good ventilation; and the area should include at least two hundred to two hundred and fifty acres. The site should be withm some con- venient distance of the city museums and libra- ries; surely not separated from these by more than three miles at the most. Another matter of great importance is the character of the country, which should be as diversified as pos- sible; and the inclosure should contain a few sizable ponds, or a good. strong stream of water, in which event the former can be easily constructed artificially. Old trees in groups; some low, level marsh-land; and some hills and rocky portions, are all points of extreme natural advantage. Those latter features, if marked, usually insure, too, another benefit, for then hilly or broken country is likely to be found immediately beyond the limits of the garden, which, though’ conducive to the building of handsome suburban residences, is city increases in size; and thus excellent ven- js There are se eral highly important elements which should be paramount in the administration of the affairs of such an institution in order to insure its highest success and most healthy growth and usefulness. Chief among these is the mat- ter of choice of the persons selected to consti- tute the staff of such a zoological garden as we have in mind. Next are the methods of con- fining and exhibiting the collection of animals of e place. the regulations controlling its sanitation aud keeping; and provision of those steps which lead to the public and spccial workers deriving the greatest amount of benefit from it, in a purely educational point of view, incorporating here the subservience of science in her diverse ends and means, THE LONDON z00. “In the spring of this year (1888) the zoologi- cal society of London, in addition to its regular staff of officers, employed the following per- sons: One superintendent. one assistant super- intendent, one head keeper, six keepers (first class), ten keepers (second class), eight keepers (third class), three money-takers, one store- keeper, one cook, one oftice-clerk, one prosec- tor’s assistant. one head gardener, nineteen helpers in the menagerie, ten garden laborers, seven artisans, two painters. six laborers, one butcher, two dremen. two night watchmen and one keoper—making a whole force of hty-five people, the duties of whom are sniticientiy suggested by their designa- tions, It is hardly necessary to say that the gentlemen composing the staff of officers should be selected not only for their executive ability in the departments they severally fill, but likewise for their distinction in some of zoological science, and more especially vertebrate zoology. Of that part of the staff which has just been enumerated above, especial regard should be paid to the selection of the poy rs, who should be men fond of animals and their care, gentle and patient, and otherwise particularly fitted for their employ- ment. ANIMALS BECOMING EXTINCT. “In a country like the United States,” the article says, “where a number of its finest mam- mals and some birds are rapidly becoming ex- tinct, it devolves as a solemn duty upon the management of a zoological garden to secure a goodly representation of these for permanent preservation. Among the mammals which now need such action none is better known than the buffalo, though the Rocky Mountain goat (Mazama), the beaver, and several species of deer stand in the same case; indeed. I pre- sume the day will come to this country when all of our larger mammals will cease to exist in a state of nature, and we shall have to depend upon our gardens and parks for examples of them. Of the birds, our Carolina parrot and roseate spoonbill are conspicuous examples, and it can be only afew years at most when both species will be extinct in this country. * . . * . . “One mai building always constitutes an in- separable part of a model zoological garden, and it is devoted to the offices and study-rooms of the staff, to the lecture-room, to the reading- room and library, to the photographie gallery, to the laboratories and store-rooms, and. final! to a few spare rooms for special purposes. The lecture-room should be properls fitted up. and made to accommodate large audience. Here, | at certain seasons, a course of free lectures should be delivered on some branch of zoology | or zootomy, either by some resident member | of the staff, or by specialists, Nowell appointed | zoological building in connection with agarden | would be complete without its reading room and library. In the latter should be found, in time, all the standard works that have appeared | upon the various branches of natural science, and more particularly upon vertebrate zoology | and morphology. including, of course, such | subjects as classification and geographical dis- | tribution of animals, and the reports of other zoological gardens and societies.” THE DUTY OF THE NATION, “With respect to a nation as a whole that has arrived at a certain height of civilization, and | jean boast of a well-filled treasury,” Dr, Shufeldt concludes, “it almost, if not quite, | becomes her bounden duty to her people, and | to the common good, to endow such an institu- | tion at her national capital, in connection with | | other scientific departments. of which she is | | the supporter in chief. And itshould be tho | | pride of every intelligent citizen of such a nation to see toit, as faras he is individually | able, that the capital of his country is not back- | ward in such matters, especially when he comes | to look about him and gees that the most dis- tinguished and influential nations of the earth are characterized by possessing just such in- stitutions at theseat of their national govern- ments, ee A Kindergarten Series.

A MRS, ZACHOGNER, OF DETROIT, SAID TO HAVE KILLED FOUR PEOPLE. A Pittsburg dispatch of March 27, says: De- troit telegrams intimate very strongly that Mrs, Annie Zachogner, of 201 Kentucky street, that y, had poisoned three husbands, also the mother and sister of her fourth and present husband, The latter is a former resident of Allegheny City, where his family still resides. About three weeks ago his mother and sister Emma went to Detroit on a visit, where they were suddenly taken sick. The mother recov- ered but Emma died and arsenic was found in her stomach. This latter discovery was not made until Monday of this week, the contents of the stomach having been given toa Detroit physician for examination, In the meantime Mrs, Zachogner, her husband and his mother came here with Emma's body and the burial took place. This was two wecks ago and two days later Mr. and Mrs. Zachogner, Jr., went to Turtle Creek, Pa., remaining until yesterday, although the Detroit authorities had been given to understand that they would return to that city as soon as the funeral was over. Yesterday they were found in Allegheny by a reporter and denied all criminality, announcing their intention of returning to Detroit on the $ p. m. train last night. A telegram from Detroit this afternoon said they had not yet arrived and that their arrest had been ordered by the coroner, Mra, Zachogner, sr., is at her home in Allegheny. She is heart-broken over the af- fair, which ‘promises to develop into a sensa- tional case, From the New York Graphic. “The late Thomas M.Nichol.”better known as “Hard Money” Nichol, never liked to be called the private secretary of President Garfield, be- cause his official functions were not those of a secretary. Mr. Brown, who recently married Miss Mollie Garfield, was the secretary. One y Nichol was having an animated discussion at the Fifth Avenue hotel with ex-Gov. Charlie Foster, of Ohio, During the talk the éx-gove nor said he was Garfield’s private secretary. Mr. Nichol stopped the conversation abruptly and, loooking Mr. Foster in the face, eaid, seri: ously: “Now, look here, Charlie, I 'n Gariield’s private secretary and I thought you knew it.” “Well, what were you, then, Tom?” “Sir, I was the Assistant President.” se —— Our Relations with Canada. THE “MODUS VIVENDA” AND THE REHRING SEA PROCLAMATION, In the Dominion house of commons Tuesday night Sir John MacDonald, in answer toa ques- tion of Mr. Jones, of Halifax, regarding the continuance of the modus vivenda, said: “We have been in communication with Newfound- land for some time upon the subject with a view to joint action, On Friday or Saturday last we received a communication from the govern ment of Newfoundland that they would act with us and would allow the modus vivenda to go into operation for the coming season. In reply to a question of Mr, Mitchell as to whether any correspondence had been had in regard to the Behring sea proclamation of American government. the prime minister «; “There has been no correspondence.

SOCIAL REFORM FROM THE KITCHEN SUGGESTED BY A NOTED STATISTICIAN. Edward Atkinson in the April Forum, It is a well ascertained fact that, with respect to about 90 per cent. of the community, the price paid for food comes to one-half the in- come or more, After this food is bought how much of it is wasted in bad cooking? How much human force is wasted in consequence of bad cooking? How much does dyspepsia or in- digestion, caused by bad cooking, impair the working capacity of the people of the United Btates and diminish their product? Can five cents’ worth per day be saved? Is not that a very insufficient measure of the dif- ference between a poor, wasteful cook anda good. economical one? If five cents a day can be saved on food and fuel, while at the same time that which is bought and cooked may be converted into more nutritious and appetizin, food, the difference in each community of 6,00 people would be $109,500 a year, or about nine rcent of the total product of the typical community, which we have assumed to be $1,200,000 'a year in gross. When the attention of the labor reformer is brought down from grand schemes for altering the whole constitution of society by act of Con- gress or of the state legislature, to the simple question of how each person, each family, or each community may better itself under exist- ing conditions, great progress will have been made in solving all the problems which are now pending. ———+e. The Dead English Statesman. JOUN BRIGHT'S FUNERAL TO BE AS UNPRETEN- TIOUS AS POSSIBLE. The funeral of John Bright will take place at Rochdale, Lancashire, on Saturday. There will be little ceremony and the body will be interred in the Quaker burying ground. Political dep- utations will follow the funeral. Only personal friends will be admitted to the services at the house. It was the wish of the deceased that the funeral should be as simple as possible. A cast of the face of the dead statesman was taken yesterday. Nothing but praise for the noble and useful life of the great quaker, and profound regret at his death was heard in England yesterday. Tories and liberals alike united in these expres- sions, the latter overlooking Bright's unionist sentiments in their admiration of the sterling ualities of the man, At political meetin; oughout England last evening sympathe references were made to Mr. Bright.

They also establish, beyond contro ‘Versy, the fact that THE Stam is the best local ad- vertising medium, not only in the United States, Dut tn the whole world!
