Mrs. Febiger, the wife of Rear-Admiral Febiger, who was injured by a runaway acci- dent Sunday, died this morning about 5 o'clock. From the moment of the accident she has re- mained in a state of unconsciousness, and she passed from that state to death without being aroused for an instant. The only sign of life since Sunday was her low breathing, aud her death was absolutely painless, All the mem- bers of the family, except the daughter, who is ill, were at her bedside when she passed away. There was never any hope of her re- covery. The accident that caused her death occurred Sunday afternoon. She was driving with her son, Mr. Johnson, in an open carriage, when the carringe-pole broke. the horses, affrighted, ran down F strect and the coachman jumped from the box. Mr. Johnson in some way got to the horses’ heads and made a brave effort to save nis mother, but he was thrown to the ground and in a moment the car- riage was smashed to pieces. Mrs, Febiger was taken from the ruins in an unconscious condi- tion, with her skull and arms fractured. Since then the inevitable end has been expected mo- mentarily, Her death is a severe shock to many friends, The funeral will take place at 3:30 to-morrow afternoon at the residence of Admiral Febiger, 1721 II street, Rev. Father Chapelle officiating. 1 nterment will be at Mt. Olivet aud will be private. The remains will be borne by a detail of sailors from the navy-yard, ‘The pall-bearers will be Admirals Rogers, Franklin, Quackenbush and Ammen, General Schofield, Col. J. G.

Lacey, of Michigan, Mr. Lacey served in the Forty-seventh and Forty-eightb Congresses. A Pension Decision Overruled. Assistant Secretary Bussey to-day rendered an important pension decision, overruling his predecessor's decision in the case of W. H. Brokenshaw. In this case the claimant was m- jured by three unknown soldiers jumping on him while he was climbing into his bunk. As- sistant Secretery Hawkins held that Broken- shaw was not injured while in the line of duty, and declined to graut a pension on that ground, Assistant Secretary Bussey holds that Broken- shaw was in his proper place, ready to perform such duty as he might be called upon to do, and Was guiltless of any act contributory to the as- sault; that the mjury aleged as the ground of pension happened to him without any fault or neglect one ‘8 part, and that he is entitled to a pension, Pension Frauds. ‘The commissioner of pensions has been ad- vised that Eleanor Stone, formerly King, of Westfield, Wis., who was indicted on January 28, 1889, for making a false claim for pension, as the widow of John E. King, has plead guil and was fined $1,000, Thomas Allen, who was formerly indicted in United States court for district of West Vir- ginia, fo defrauding Thos, Allen, a pensioner, #350, was arrested to-day at Clarksburg, . Va., and held for trial under bond of $1,000, Johu Cheesman, of Ypsilanti, Mich., was ete 3th instant, in the United States district court at Grand Rapids, Mich for forgery in his pension claim. He was sent- enced to nine months’ imprisonment in the “Detroit house of correction.” Larceny of a Child’s Bank. This morning in the Criminal Court, Judge Bradley, the trial of Alice Stewart, colored, for the larceny of achild’s bank,containing 337.50, from Thaddeus A. Jones on January 23 last,was resumed —Assistant District Attorney Coyle for the governmentand J. McD. Carrington for the defendant. It is alleged that the accused had an opportunity to take the bank, and the money was found at the house of Alice Johnson, with Chloe Heard, to whom accused had given it, For the defense, Ada Cross, a small colored girl now in jail on three convictions and sen- tenced to six months in each for petit larceny, testified that she went to the back gate with Fanny Butcher, who came out with the bank, and down the alley, broke it open, and gave witness $4. The defendant testified that Fanny Butcher gave her a bundle and told her to keep it for her. She acknowledged that the officer came to the house looking for money, but she did not tell him, for it was not his toney, and she was keeping it for Fanny. She was at Mrs. Joues’ when Fanny was there, and let her in the gate, in rebuttal, Fanny Butcher was called end denied all knowledge of the bank. On cross- examination she admitted having been at Mrs. Jones’, but when she found that Mrs, Jones was not dt home left. John Battenfield, who was at work on the day of the loss, testified that the small colored girl was not in the house. The case was argued at some length, Mr. Carrington on the theory that the accused told the truth and that the Butcher girl was the thief, and Mr. Coyle that the accused ¢ook the money. CONVICTED AND SENTENCED, ‘The jury found a verdict of guilty on one in- dictment. The court saidthat from the experience on Saturday last the rule of bringing up a lot of risoners on Saturdays for sentence would be fete: honored in the breach than in the ob- servance; he had concluded, as far as possible, to impose sentences on the date of conviction, In view of the fact that this was, as far as known, her first offense, and from the further fact that she was a mother, he imposed a sen- tence of one year in the Albany penitentiary, Trouble About a Ditch. About two weeks since, in the Cireuit Court, division No. 2, Justice Montgomery, the case of J.B. Hertford against the District for damages to defendant by entering upon his land at Mt. Pleasant and digging a ditch was tried, but the result was a disagreement of the jury. It was claimed that the ditching was necessary to drain water from the land opposite Dr. Breed’s. A few days ago Mr. Hertford, acting on advice of counsel, filled up the ditch, and since then the District or Dr, Breed, with a foree of men working trom midnight to dawn, have reopened the ditch. —_— Contract AwanpEp.—The Secretary of the Treasury has awarded the contract for altera- tions to the public Mager in Wilmi m, N.

We have no wish to desert the em- pire, but the empire must not desert us.” ee THE DAY’S TOPICS IN LONDON. The Liberal Victory at Rochester—Cor- ruption in the British Indian Serviee. Special Cable Dispatch to 1 NDON, April 17,—The defeat of the tories at Rochester yesterday adds another instance to Kennington and Chelsea, where the notori- ous m eds of former members caused the victory of the rival party, The Hughes, Hal- lett and Dilke scandals are well known, At Kennington the late tory member had misap- plied trust moneys, He and Hallett accept the inevitable and retire into private life. Dilke is trying to re-enter it and already sits on local boards. He is now spoken of asa candidate at the next election for some safe liberal seat, Among others, Carmarthenshire is mentioned, although the Welsh dissenters are numerous there. The character of the British service in India receives a heavy blow by the secretary's de- cision to-day dismissing Crawford, the commis- sioner of the central division of the Bombay presidency. It acquits him of actually receiv- ing bribes, but convicts him of heavy borrow- ings from the natives, which rendered him open to suspicion and temptation. ‘The decision is the more significant because Crawford has many influential friends, and Lord Ready, gov- ernor of Bombay, who insisted on the inquiry, has been fiercely assailed by the Anglo-Indian are, general cretary’s de- termination to purge the civil service. i is_yesterd livered the state- ment of the claim of th glish libel action against the Times, in which Parnell asks one hundred thousand pounds damages for the publication of the forged letters. in the Irish action already down for hearing he claims fifty thousand pounds, One hundred thousand pounds is said to be one year’s profit of the Times in its palmy days, MADE MUSIC BUT WE EVENING STAR NO MONEY.

Fur- investigation develops “the pro- that the rumor grew out of the opinion = ed among fruit men yesterday to the effect that the Alsatia, of the Anchor line, re- ported as leaving the Rock of Gibraltar on April 1, was more than likely to have fallen in with the Danmark or her boats. The Alsatia carries fruit from Mediterranean ports. and if by any good fortune she picked up the passen- gers and crew of the abandoned steamer, she is large enough to give them accommodation. | She is due at this port at any moment, and her arrival is anxiously awaited, THE DENMARK BRINGS NO NEWS, The steamship Denmark, which arrived this morning from London, was boarded at quar- antine by a United Press reporter, who was informed by the purser of the steamship that they had seen or heard nothing of the passen- gers of the abandoned steamer Damark.

He will start to Detroit to talk to Presidept Sterns to-day. Captain Anson, who has developed into a howling swell, said: “I have not signed any of the men who were with me, but I do not anti ipate trouble with them. I sce that some au- thorities are rating Chicago very low in the league, but I will back the Chicago club for a place against any of them. I have already wagered a $100 suit of clothes each with Mana- er Mutrie, of New York, and Billings, of the ton directory, that we will beat those clubs out this season, and Iam willing to make a similar wager with any man inthis city that we will beat the Pittsburgs. Philadelphia wants our outfielder, Ryan, but they must make us different proposition to have us consider it. One thing surprises me, and that is the anxiety of the Pittsburg club tosecure Rowe and White, of last season's Detroit club. I would sooner have Kuebne and Smith, of your team, than either of them. I would very much like to have the former at Chicago if the Pitteb club is tired of him.” se eer From Wall Street To-Day. New York, April 17, 11 a, m.—The stock shares.
