Artie Shirley’s Grief at the Death of His Fiance Drives Him to Suicide. One of the most determined and thoroughly successful attempts at suicide ever heard of in this city culminated yesterday morning at about 3 o’cloe Artie Shirley, well known in South Washington, walked down to the north- ern end of the Long bridge, and when the early south-bound freight train rushed down on to the bridge Shirley deliberately threw himself in front of it and had his life crushed out in- Stantly. The engineer saw Shirley just as he got on the track, and the death blow followed but a second later. The train was stopped and the mangled remains of the suicide were placed in charge of the police and by them forwarded to the morgue. A SAD ROMANCE, This tragic ending of a young man’s exist- ence, for Shirley was but twenty-four years of age, completes a rather romantic affair, A month ago and there was not a happier being living in all the land than Artie Shirley, unless it was Bertie Hurley f the prettiest, Plans had been e, and the pre- Then Bertie 1 by disease and, This sad event changed Shirley's disposition; he was morose nis grief was uncontrollable.

NOTHING TO LIVE FOR. To a friend who was with him on the Fourth of July Shirley said there was nothing left to him to live for; his heart was in a grave in Oak Hill cemetery. Coroner Patterson viewed the remains and @ecided that an inquest was unnecessary. Shirley's sister, who resides m this city, has taken charge of the remains, which will be buried this evening at Alexandria, A Congress of Colored Biptists.

The Senators appropriately ended _ their dis- astrous trip abroad on Saturday by going all to pieces in the game with Chicago and losing by the score of 14 to 6. Healy and Mack and Dwyer and Farrell were the batteries, Healy aided the general demoralization by giving seven bases on balls that were factors in many of the runs, The Senators Mit the ball hard and often, but they more than balanced this by their miserable fielding, which was of the most decidedly orange tint, Wise made three errors out of eight chances, Carney, Mack and Wilmot two each and Hoy, Irwin, Daily and Healy one. Mack led in batting, witha double and a single. Chicago made 9 hits and 5 errors and Washington 10 hits and 13 errors, ~ Indianapolis pulverized the Phillies, 21 to 2. Buffinton and Clements and Boyle and Buckley were the batteries, The Hoosiers made 23 hits and 1 error and Philadelphia 8 hits and 8 errors, Glasscock made 2 doubles and 3 singles. Cleveland did Boston up in the last game, 9 to6. The points were ‘ited by O’Brien and Zimmer and Madden and Kelly. The Infants made 65 runs in the seventh inning and won the game thereby. Cleveland made 7 hits and 3 errors and Boston 10 hits and 3 errors, New York took a game fram Pittsburg, 7 to 1. and Morris and Fields were Keefe and Ewin: the batteries. The Giants made 10 hits and 2 errors and the Smokies 2 hits and 7 errors. ASSOCIATION GAMES, At Louisville—Baltimore, 6; Louisville, 5. At St. Louis—St. Louis, 8; Columbus, 1.

The services at the New York Avenue Pregby- terian church yesterday morning were anex- pectedly interrupted. Rev. Dr. Carpenter of Brooklyn, N. ¥., ceupied the pulpit in the ab- sence of the pastor, Rev. Dr. Bartlett. Shortly after he had announced his text and begun the sermon the congregation were alarmed to see him grow suddenly pale, his eyes close, and then sink to the floor. Dr. J.O. Adams and Prof. Paul, the precentor, who sat near the pulpit, hastened to the side of the prostrated clergyman and found that he had fainted. He seon recovered consciousness and desired to continue the services, but Dr. Adams advised agninst if The congregation were then dis- missed. “The incident created a flutter of ex- citement and several ladies were greatly af- fected. Dr. Carpenter is a man of advanced age and was weakened bya recent attack of jastritis. He is a brother-in-law of Mrs. Van Wyck, the wife of jex-Senator Van Wyck, who was present at the! church yesterday and was naturally much alarmed. —————___. Farewell Reception to Fred. Douglass. A farewell reception to Hon. Frederick Douglass was tendered yesterday afternoon at the Ebenezer M.E. church by the Ebenezer literary association. In response to an ad- dress by Mr. Edward Atkinson, the president, Mr. Douglass expressed his thanks for this evi- dence of appreciation on the part of his friends, and said that ‘he hoped in his new position as minister to Hayti to be able to do his duty. Addresses were also made by Rev. C. B. Tappan of Tennessee, Mr. John Brooks and Prof. N. 8. Montgomery. The musical portion of the pro- ram, which was well rendered, was under the irection of J. E. Draper. — In Memory of Mrs. Hayes. The meeting in memory of Mrs, Lucy Webb Hayes held last evening at the Foundry M. E. church under the auspices of the Woman's Christian temperance union was large attended. The president of the union, Mrs. LaFetra, pre- sided, and addresses were made by Mrs. Anna C. McDowell, Mrs. Anna Bovee, Col. Wm. H. Créok, Gen. S. 8. Burdett, Mrs. Clara L. Roach, Rev Dr. Lanahan, and Kev. Dr. Elliot. Mra.

Pole Rodgers of the third precinct had before the Police Court this morning a young man named James Smith, whom he charged with vagrancy. He was arrested for begging on New Hampshire avenue. The young man was perfectly sober when arrested. He said that hecame here from Toronto looking for work. Being unable to find employment and aaving no money he said he tried to sell his coat to get something to eat, Judge Miller gave him achance to get work, Transfers of Real Estate. home “Dahlen,” where the bridal festivities in honor of her son are in progress. It is situated directly on the dividing line between Frederick and Washington counties, although the honse is entirely in the latter county. The old National turnpike runs directly past the front door. The house during the war was known as the South Mountain tavern, and was atypical conatry inn in every respect, When the place was pur- chased by Mrs. Dahlgren it was in a badly shattered condition. On the south side of the house stood two aged locust trees that were completely riddled with bullets, dozens of which were sticking in the bark. These trees Mrs. Dahlgren had inclosed in order to pre- serve them, bullets and all, as memen- toes of the bloody battle fought there. During a severe wind storm not long ago one of these trees was blown down, but a vigorous offepring has shot up from its roots and is already several feet high. Mrs. Dahigren in altering and improving the old inn has pre- served, as far as possible, the quaintness of its original architecture. She has left undistarbed the old-fashioned stairs and railings and has filled the rooms with very odd furniture. The dining room has been converted to the Elian- bethean style and is quaint and pretty. It has a hardwood ceiling, frescoed walls and old tables and chairs. Mr. Dahlgren bought up the mountain land surrounding the old house. piece ata time, until she has finally acquire: the entire mountain bet 7 The lawn has a beautiful and even slope, all the outbuildings and fences are low, 80 as not to obstruct the view from the house, every door and window in which looks out upon some mar- vyelous valley stretching away in the distance toward Hagerstown or Frederick. GATH'S SUMMER HOME, Five miles from “Dahlen,” and also on a spur of the South mountain, is ““Gapland,” the summer home of George Alfred Townsend. When Mr. Townsend visited Mrs. Dahlgren at “Dahlen” he was so impressed with the beauty of the country that he purchased a site for a dwelling in a gorge looking off toward the blue hills of West Virginia, The famous Middle- town valley, formed by the Catoctin and South Mountain ranges, is open to the view from both “Dahlen” and “Gapland.” At this season of the year the shocks of wheat in the fields seen from the mountain top with the slant sun resting its beams upon them look like lumps of burnished gold, while in- tervening pathways of green oats and clusters of new-mown hay have a cool and refreshing effect. Mrs. Dahlgren cares for nothing about her house so muchas the scenery, and when entertaing guests who are her own old personal friends, rarely thinks of providing entertain- ment for them. They find enough in strolling over the old place and hiding away in their memory glimpses of the magnificent scenery. e old house, too, is full of attraction. in the first place, the fact that it was frequently the stopping-place of Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson, Senators and Congressmen and me of note in the public service, gives it a historic interest that nothing can eclipse. It has stood |. there in the gorge for more than a hundred years, In the rear parlor Mrs. Dahigren has a small shelf filled with books written by herself and the admfral dur- ing their united life. These books she always keeps together and separate from the others in the library. The lat room is quaint and cosy. Over its door is suspended the blue flag of Admiral Dahlgren’s flagship. Itis rent by acannon ball near one end. This room was the bar room of the old inn. In the furnishing of the entire house a tendency to an antiquity that would contrast with the antiquity of the building itself is noticeable, and from the cup- board, filled with the rarest of ware to the tall clock, canopied bedstead, and odd-looking bureau, there is something at almost every turn one makes to excite the fancy and arouse the curiosity. It is a beautiful place, and the fortu- nate guests of the generous-hearted hostess are looking forward with keen delight to their week of merry-making. FM. —_.—___ WINNIPEG’S CRO SUSPECT. Martin Burke’s Lawyer Making a Hard Fight Against Accumulating Evidence. At Winnipeg, Man., the case of Martin Burke was resumed Saturday afternoon, when the depositions of the four Chicago doctors who were present at the autopsy on the body of Dr. Cronin were put in by the prosecution. Their testimony was that the wounds on Cronin’s head were sufficient to cause death. The de- position of Mertes, the milkman, was also put in. He deposed that he drove up to the Carl- son cottage on the night of the murder; that one man alighted und entered the cottage, and that twenty minutes later he hearda loud noise proceeding from the cottage. Howell, counsel for the prosecution, asked that the case be further remanded till Monday, when he would either offer more testimony or close the case. He differed from the Chicago officers as to the evidence putin. They believed it ample, while he desired to supplement it. Campbell, counsel for the prisoner, intimated that the prosecution was seeking delays until some one in Chicago would squeal, and that an effort would be made to implicate the prisoner, He demanded that the case go on or the pris- oner be released. The judge, after giving the prosecution warning to have their evidence ready on Monday, decided to remand the pris- oner until to-day, BEGOS REFUSED RELEASE, In Chicago Judge Tuley refused Saturday to issue a writ of habeas corpus for John F. Beggs, lawyer and senior warden of Camp 20, Clan-na-Gael, which, as alleged, condemned Dr. Cronin to death. The court based his re- fusal to issue the writ on the und that the petition prayed for Beggs’ absolute release from jail, and did not ask for the alternative relief of admission to bail, and also because the state’s attorney had not had notification to which he was entitled. “I have had a telegram from Baker this morning,” said Judge Longenecker, ‘and he tells me everything is proceeding satisfactorily. The depositions we sent should have reached Winnipeg at noon yesterday, but they were de- layed. ‘They were registered, though, and will reach there to-day noon, Burke was remanded until their arrival.” “What action do you expect Burke's attorney will take if the judge decides as you expect he will in the extradition case?” “Baker tells me that he thinks he will apply at once for a writ of habeas corpus.” “Have yon found out yet who is paying the expense of Burke's legal fight?” Qo, Lhave not.” ————+ee. The National Greenback Convention. A call has been issued by Mr. George 0.

Sa DEPARTURE OF NIPSIC AND ALERT. The Nipsic, the only American vessel saved from the storm, has gone to Honolulu for re- pairs under the convoy of the Alert. Two ships left here for Auckland May 9, but in six days they returned, and Capt. Mullan of the WNipsic, and Capt. Green of the Alert re- ported that after going 250 miles they had emed it inadvisable to. proceed see The Nipsic’s rudder broke and 5) came der was re such slow eSB there seemed to be no probability of their reaching Auckland before the last week in May, at which season severe weather might be expected off the New Zealand coast. Capt. Mullan desired to ceed, if possible, but he laid the matter before the line officersof his own ship. None of the Nipsic’s officers desired to return, and they ex- pressed willingness to accept the risk of en- countering weather, Capt. Mullan, how- ever, believed it would be impossible to lower boats from the Nipsic in case it became nec- essary to do so, and there seemed to be somo a danger that if the vessel met with ren iy weather she would lose her rudder entire) and then be swept into the trough of the sca and rolled over, Capt. Mullan accordingly Gave orders for the ship's return to Apia, CAPTAIN MULLAN RELIEVED. Admiral Kimberly expressed considerable displeasure at the return of the Nipsic and the Alert after having gone 250 miles, and re- Lethe Capt. Mullan for his tion. Capt., ullan asked to be relieved of his command. The admiral at once detached him, and or- dered Lieut.-Commander H. W. Lyon of the Trenton to take command of the Nipsic. He also issued orders for the ships to go to Pago- rise and take on coal and proceed to Auck- jan The Ni; and the Alert sailed for Pago- Pago within a few hours after their return here. The orders were afterward changed,and Honolulu was made the destination of the ships instead of Auckland. The vessels sailed from Pago-Pago for Honolulu Juhe 1. The regular mail schooner, which runs. to Tutuila every month to connect with the Oceanic steamers to and from San Francisco, failed to meet the north-bound steamer Zealandia,which = May 25, and consequently no mail left ere for America and Europe. Last month Capt. Mullan had gone to Tutuila on the schooner to take the steamer for San Fran- cisco, but he was left at Leone, a small settle- ment on the island, for a month to wait for the next steamer to pass. Chief Engineer G. W. Hall of the Nipsic, who was ill with dysentery, was detached from his vessel by the medical board. He was also left at Leone to wait for the June steamer, but died on the 16th inst. His home was Syracuse, N. Y. NOTES.

Herald, July 6. “I have talked about prohibition in every county in South Dakota, and the amendment to the constitution, when it is submitted to the people at the polls on the first day of October, at the time our state constitution is ratified, will be larger than it was the last time it re- ceived majority approval. Prohibition is growing in South Dakota, and its friends are going down into their pockets to meet the work of theenemy.” Immediately after the constitutional conven- tion adjourned this afternoon a prohibition meeting was held in the hall. It was called at the request of forty-two of the seventy-five constitutional delegates, and there were pres- ent representative prohibitionists from every of South Dakota. During the progress of ie meeting, which was presided over by Dele- gate Clough of Watertown. and while reports upon the progress of the campaign were being received, an intelligent advocate gave utter- ance to the paragraph quoted at the beginnin, of this dispatch, ie Sentiment was applauded to the echo. ‘is isthe element that is going to contribute ly feature to the mpoen a which opens a8 soon as the republican candidates are named at the convention at Huron on August 23. Here, as elsewhere, the probibition roy oe #4 is run by republicans, but, unlike those in the states, they don’t propose to antagonize the regular republican nominees by placing candi- dates in the field. They know that if they suc- ceed in securing constitutional prohibition it will be through republican votes, as the repub- lican Mar ose in South Dakota is probably 25,000. On the contrary, they are courting republican favor, THE PROHIBITION PLAN. They will not ask to have a prohibition clause inserted in the constitution here, but will sub- mit it as an amendment when the constitution is voted upon on the Ist day of next October. At the same time woman suffrage and minority representation amendments will be voted upon, but the prohibitioniets are making no combina- tions or trades. They are standing firm and alone and are confident they will win. The constitutional convention has about fifty-four republican and twenty-one democratic dele- gates, and there are nearly fifty who will vote for prohibition and work in its interest so long a8 it 1s a separate proposition and stands upon its own merits. This question will make things exceedingly interesting on election day in Oc- tober, and tha prospects are that it will suc- ceed. When it was announced during the geen of the meeting that Governor Mel- lette, who is the republican nominee for gov- ernor, was wearing a prohibition pin, a scream a approval anda roar of applause went up igh, The constitutional convention during its ses- sion of an hour and a half this afternoon com- pleted all of its work for organizing, except the appointment of its standing committee.

The proposition to send a commission to Bis- marck to settle the seventh standard parallel dispute, involving the boundary line between North and South Dakota, was referred to the committee on boundary jine. ‘The rules for the con¥ention were reported and adopted. There will be twenty-one stand- ing committees, From the deliberation pre- vailing in every action itis believed that the session will continue between two and three weeks. Governor A. C. Mellette, R. J. Petti- grew, Judge G. Moody and A. J. Edgerton, the four men who will be given the governorship, the United States senstorships end probably the federal judgship in South Dakota, are all here. There is no formidable opposition to any of them so far. A Short Session at Helena. At Helena, M. T., the session ofthe constitn- tional convention Saturday was short. After the election of a chief clerk, five assistants and | half a dozen pages, the committee on rules re- ported. The avernge committee will consist of seven members. The judiciary, legislature and executive committees, however, were in- creased to eleven. A committee on labor was added to the list. The report of the committee was adopted, and the convention adjourned to Monday. ' Slow Work at, Bismarck. At Bismarck, N. D., Saturday's sensation in the convention was furnished by M. N. John- son of Dakota, the defeated Farmers’ Alliance candidate for the presidency. Immediately after the convention had been called to order Johnson arose and read the following editorial in Marshall McClure’s paper, the Devil's Lake Capital: “The candidaey of M. N. Johnson of Nelson county for chairman of the constitu- tional convention does not meet with the sym- pathy of the people of this vicinity. Mr. John- son is considered a little cranky on many subjects and is not fitted for the position, He has a brother in Fargo who is said to be a red- hot anarchist, which is sufficient for a presump- tion that crank eccentricities are a part of the family.” : The convention refused to take any notice of the matter. Most of the day was consumed in the discussion of the report of the committee on rules, The convention finally adopted that portion naming the officers to be elected by the convention, and postponed the consideration of the remainder until Monday. Washington. At the Washington territoria! convention Saturday the committee on rules reporteda list of standing committees and an adjourn- ment was taken until Tuesday afternoon to give the president time to make up the com- mittees.
