No decision has yet been reached as to the location of the new base ball park for the season of 1890, except that the Eckington and the South Capitol and Bstreets squares have been eliminated from the list. Plans are being pre- pared for the construction of a grand stand for the new grounds. It will be one-story high, and will contain seats for about 5,000 people, with bleacheries on either side. The stand will be nearly semi-circular, extending from a line 90 feet back from third base to a correspondin| osition behind first. Underneath there will e accommodations for players, including dressing rooms, a gymnasium, and a large room for practice in bad weather. It will cost about $6,000, and will be built by Mr. Jas. M.

Ata meeting Saturday night of the executive committee in charge of the arrangements for There is a mysterious prisoner in cell No.7 of the first precinct station, and he is held until something can be learned of him. How he came here or where from the officers are unable to learn. Policeman Robert Smith was passing a pile of building material near 9th and E streets, when the stranger's queer actions attracted his attention. “What are you doing there?” asked the policeman. “I'm on guard here,” he replied. “Gen. Miles put me here and I intend to remain here.” FROM THE NORTH POLE IN FOUR HOURS. The officer persuaded the man to go with him to the station, and there he gave his name as Miles Hughes. “Where are you from?” he was asked. “The North Pole,” was his reply. “I came | here from the North Pole via Fort Keogh and the mountains, I made the trip in four hours.” The unfortunate man told how Edison had | infringed on his patents, and that fact seemed | to trouble Lim more thar his incarceration, | He. however, found comfort in the fact that | the Court of Claims would settle the dispute with several million dollars that Congress ap- | jor that purp s he bas | “air ships,” “motor cars” and “parachutes,” and that Secretary Blaine has granted him THE RIGHT OF WAY through the United States.

No definite action was taken Saturday night, though the members of the committee expressed themselves in favor of giving the Kentucky knights every facility for exhibiting the skill of their proteges. Most of the replies received from commanderies to in- quirics as to whether there should be a com- petitive drill have been in the negative. It is thought that instead of a competitive drill there will be several exhibition driils. Helena commandery No. 3 of Burlington, N.

When the train got on the bridge crossing the Patuxent river he put his head out of the bag- gage car door to look down at the water below. Suddenly he fell from the car and rolled off the bridge into the water. The train was stopped and his body was recovered. He had probably been killed omy On his head was a ter- rible wound whicn had been made by an iron bar that projected from the bridge. “The body of the unfortunate man was taken to Odenton and a message sent to his father, Lieut. Gess- ford of the police force in this city. The body arrived here later in the afternoon and was taken to Lee’s undertaking establishment, where it was prepared for burial. The deceased was thirty-two years old and leaves a wife and two children.

On the 22d of April last, in accordance with an act of the legislature of New York, the com- missioners of the sinking fund of New York city advertised for plans for a criminal court building to cover the block between Center and Elm, Franklin and White streets in that city.

Sad Death of W. E. McKee—The Terrible Sight Which Shocked His Father. Walter E. McKee, a young man who for some time past has been employed in the bureau of engraving and printing, fell from the third story of heuse No. 513 H street northwest early yesterday morning and was aj in- stantly killed by the fall. Mr. McKee re- turned home about 11 o'clock Saturday night and went at once to his room. That was the last time he was seen alive. The deceased had been in the habit of sitting in the window and smoking before retiring and that habit, it is thought, is what caused his death, Shortly after McKee entered the room he conversed with his father who occupied the adjoining room, Men of East Washington. its doors for business ina few days.

On Thursday the fifty per cent of the capital stock will be & Very easy matter when it was once started. ORIGIN OF THE ENTERPRISE. For a number of years the need of a bank in the eastern portion of the city has been recog- nized by the business men and other residents, A few weeks ago several gentlemen came to- gether and resolved to organize a bank. As soon as their intention became known they re- ceived such encouraging assurances of co- operation and support that whatever lingering doubts may have existed in regard to the prac- ticability of a bank on Capitol Hill were soon dispelled. A committee on or, tion was formed, consisting of John E, Herrell, J. W. Whelpley, Henry C. McCauley, John G. Slater, Geo, ‘les, Allen C, k and 8. H. Walker ese gentlemen were all well known in the business community and their interests were largely on Capitol Hill. Mr. Whelpley is the assistant treasurer of the United States and his extended knowledge of financial matters was utilized by the committee in organizing the bank. As soon as subscrip- tion Books for the stock were opened the SUBSCRIPTIONS CAME POURING IX. ° It was decided to make the capital stock $200,000, and it was found that subscriptions for twice that amount had been received. The ‘atifying feature of the subscriptions was the fact it the greater part came from the business men and residents of capitol hill. In assigning the stock preference of course was given to residents in that section of the city, and in consequence the stock of the new bank is almost enti locality. THE NOISE HEARD BY MISS COATES. Just what time the accident occurred is not known, but Miss Emma Coates, who occupied the room directly under that occupied by McKee, heard a noise in his room about 2 o’clock in the morning. Following the noise she heard a crash in the yard and a glass of flowers she had left on her window sill fell to the und. Miss Coates then thought that bi plars were about and she awakened others in the house, but as the silence that succeeded the crash remained unbroken, Miss Coates and the people she had aroused again retired. THE FATHER’S SEARCH FOR HIS SON. ‘When Mr. McKee’s father arose in the morn- ing and missed his son from his room he went to the bath room expecting to find him there. To his surprise the bath room was also vacant, His son's bg 4 or a portion of it was in his room and the father became uneasy. Search was made through the house and at last Mr. McKee looked out of the window when his eye meta terrible sight. it was the dead body of his son in a pool of blood in the areaway. The shock almost prostrated the aged father. As- sistance was summoned and the body was carried into the house. It was evident from its appearance that death had occurred several hours before the finding of the body. THE FUNERAL. The police were notified of the accident, and later in the day the body was removed to the morgue, where it was viewed by Coroner Pat- terson. The coroner decided that an inquest was unnecessary and gave a certificate of acci- dental death. ‘The body was then prepared for burial and was turned over to the father of the deceased. Young McKee was twenty-seven years old. His father is Mr. Robert McKee, an examiner in the patent office. The funeral took place this morning from Wright’s undertakin; establishment, The interment was at Roc Creek cemetery. ee SIXTY-FOUR MILES AN HOUR. How the Representatives of the Corcoran Gallery Went to the Parts Sale. Messrs. Fred. B. McGuire and C. C. Glover, who attended the Secretan sale in Paris as rep- resentatives of the trustees of the Corcoran gallery of art, arrived in New York Saturday evening from Europe on the Etruria. Mr. Glover went to Newport to join his family and Mr. McGuire made a brief stay in New York. As representatives of the Corcoran gallery, as has been stated in the news dispatches, they made a bid of 511,000 francs for the Angelus of Millet, which has finally been awarded to Mr. Sutton of New York on his bid of 553,000 francs, Messrs, McGuire and Glover, however, secured a number of rare works for the gallery, which are expected to arrive in September. Their advent in Paris on the morning of the sale and the means they took of getting there was the talk of the town for a day or two, and the story of the rapid re of the Americans as it grew in the telling became exaggerated. Messrs. McGuire and Glover sailed tor Eng- land on the Etruria, because she was one of the fastest Atlantic steamers and ought to have landed them at Queenstown in time for them to get to Paris by the regular trains before the great sale began. As the steamship stokers were on a strike and the ship's boilers were ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, Directors have been selected as follows, al- though it is the intention to have fifteen directors instead of fourteen as at present: John E. Herrell, Jas. W. Whelpley, Henry C, McCauley, John G. Slater, Geo. F. ‘Pyles, Allen C, Clark, 8. H. Walker, Thos. W. Smith, Walter Marlow, H. A. Griswold, Chas. G. Dulin, Dr. mae Hazen, B. B.

The directors have leased the building at the northeast corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 3d street, known as the Washington hall build- ing, and the lower floor will be occupied b: the new bank. The entrance to the bank be on the corner, and the necessary counters are now being put im. A room for the directors is on the avenue front and connected with the banking room.

While the present quarters are only tem- Porary, yet the location is regarded as central and is in the midst of the business community of Capitol Hill, ELECTION OF PRESIDENT AND CASHIER, The directors have elected Mr. John E. Her- rell president. Mr. Herrell is well known, not only in that section of the city, but all over the District as a man of sterling character and business capacity. His large property inter- ests are mainly in East Washington and the selection has fallen upon a representative Cap- itol Hill man, Mr. William B. Baldwin, the cashier, is not unknown in banking circles in this city, He entered the National Bank of the Republic as a runner when a boy and his faithful services, his intelligence and aptness was recognized te pra ease: belt soon afterward by promotion to the position of ~ assistant teller. When the Columbia national bank was started Mr. Baldwin was given the Position of teller, which position he has filled with credit to himself and satisfaction to the bank.

The directors will elect a vice president an probably next week the new bank willbe in regular train and boat trom Queenstown to Holyhead, and there discovered that it was im- possible by the regular trains to reach London in time to catch the Dover train and Calais boat.

When they reached Chester they found a train with five coaches waiting for them and paid #400 for it, They needed only one coach, but the other four were put on to keep this’ one coach from flying the track. Every preparation was made for a fastran. “I never expected to reach London alive” said Mr. McGpire. My hair stood on end all the way. I never trav- eled so fast in my life.” The run of 189 miles to London was made in tbree hours. The train stopped on the way three times to change loco- motives, and was delayed two minutes at one point because the draw of a bridge was up. The actual average speed made was 64 miles an hour. The two travelers reached London in time to catch the Paris train. They arrived in Paris at 7 o'clock the next morning. The sale began at 10 o'clock, and they were ready for it. In Paris the story became exaggerated into a statement that they had come uil the way in specially chartered fast steamers and trains, and the feat was put down as another instance of the way Amtricans do things. Coroner Patterson summoned a jury at the second preeinct station yesterday morning to investigate the circumstances of the death of Samuel Huntress, who was killed in Blagden’s alley, in rear of his home, Friday afternoon. The witnesses of the affair testified to the kill- ing as published in Saturday's Star, Huntress, the coal oil dealer, and James Combs, who was in his employ, were both intoxicated, the wit- nesses said, when they entered the alley. It was almost impossible for the witnesses to tell who was driving the wagon in which they were seated, The men were pulling at each other and Combs fell from the seat into the wagon just a moment before the vehicle upset. ‘The deputy coroner, Dr. Schaeffer, was of the opin- ion that Huntress’ death resulted from the et- fects of the fall from the wagon. The jury failed to find any testimony showing that Combs was in any manner ies promi for the accident and he was discharged from custody.

She states that he stayed away from her night after night; thut he has an ungovernable temper and re- sorted to all manner of means to aggravate her, and that he has treated her with cruelty, She denies his charge of an attempt to poison him and says that he has done everything in his power to drive ber from home, and that she has received an order to vacate her room at the Metropolitan club building, which she thinks is due to his misrepresentations, She states fur- ther, that, although he is in receipt of a com- fortabde income,he neglected to provide a home for her or her child, and for weeks at a time she has had nothing but cold bread to eat and sometimes not even that, and that she was forced to borrow money of her neighbors to obtain sufficient provisions to keep ly and soul together. —-—__ A Temporary Restraining Order.

The “lift” is not displayed ostentationsly in the great German houses. It is behind iron doors, to be detected only by inspection, and is moved by clanking chains, The deliberati of the proceeding is its most distinguishing characteristic. You stand in thi the hotel, where a reconnoi the laboring “lift,” and silently await develop- ments, Everybody else has the greatest plenty of time. Presently from the unknown interior iron doors fly open, and a soldierly-looking servant with brass buttons on his cap, preoceu- pied with his responsibilities, steps forth with anair of majesty. The doors clang as they swing and the lifi is there, rather primitive but elaborate in construction. Perhaps there may be five passengers ready to get aboard. When four have taken positions the master of the elevator waves the fifth backward with the ful air of authority, and if the rejected one isan American urgent to go up at once, he is told peremptorily that there are places “only for four.” The iron doors are banged, the engines heave and the massive machiae moves. Safety is consulted! Here is a masterly mechanism that might swing a pair of ele- ae of the size of Jumbo, but an attempt to ift at once more than four persons would be regarded as an affront to the empire, The thing’s impossible! The French have the same elevating methods. There is usually an iron gate as well as an iron door to the ascenseur in France, and in some of the first-class establish- ments they will risk taking up as many as five passengers at a time. The chains that are rigged for the security of this multitude of irre- sponsible beings are of links of wrought iron 2 inches im diameter. There is nothing like taking care of the people and stretching forth the handof paternal government. One ponders what would be the effect of starting somewhere in Europe such “lifts” as they have in New York, say in the Tri)..ne building, where they yank a passenger through ten stories, a dis- tance of 150 feet, in six seconds, provided they are not delayed’ by jerking additional passen- gers on and off at the several floors! The French would never endure the thought of as- cending “the Eiffel” in less than a minute, and Ihave a shade of sympathy with them in that, oe Maj. George Hopkins, chairman of the Mich- = republican state central committee, says at Gen. Russell A, Alger can be elected com- mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re- public by acclamation if he will accept. At Mount Gretna, Pa., the joint encampment of United States regulars and state troops opened Saturday, to continue one week. The Massachusetts riflemen arrived in New York Saturday from their victorious tour abroad. Young William Ralph Lee, son of Mrs. Ste- phen W. Rawson, was released from jail in Chi- cago Saturday, having completed the eighteen months’ imprisonment to which he was sen. tenced for shooting his step-father, the banker, to avenge his mother's wrongs. At Piper City, Iil., Mrs. N. Preman and her twelve-year-old daughter were killed by light ning: iday. A seven months’ babe in the mother’s arms was not injured.
