Mr. Josiah Miliard, as president of the North- east Washington's citizens’ association, has ad- dgessed a communication to the District Com- missioners on the subject of the selection of Washington as the site of the world’s fair of 1892. He sets forth at length the various argu- ments made in favor of the national capital and brings forward two new ones. The first is that the cosmopolitan character of the inhabitants and frequenters of this city would insure a wide spread of the influence of such an expo- sition; the second is that Washington is both the most attractive of cities and the most favor- able to show the advantage of the political and economic life of America, THE WATER CUT OFF. The necessary street improvements in the neighborhood of the Adams public school on R street between 17th and 18th streets made it necessary to cut off all water connections with the above school.

Sullivan!” shouted | Tommy Shea, armed with a big revolver, in He had been van Shea went to the city hospital with his | throat cut from ear to ear by one of Sullivan's companions and will probably die. Recently Liney Tracy, a Brooklyn boxer, who w: sec- ond for Sullivan in the fight with Kilrain and who was booked for the champion’s latest spar- ring tour, was talking with Shea. The latter had just been released from state’s prison, hav- ing served three years for highway robbery. Sullivan saw them and, calling Tracy on one | side, said: “Keep away from that man, he’s a crook.” Tracy very foolishly went and told Shea what Sullivan had said and Shea swore he would kill the champion as soon as he got an opportunity. About 2 o'clock Saturday after- noon Shea entered Sugarman’s pawn shop and I-dog revolver fred and his mother rushed to his room only | for $2.50.

The foot ball team from Johns Hopkins uni- versity tried conclusions with the team from Kendall Green Saturday afternoon. The wet and slippery ground rendered the running and tackling a little ragged. The Hopkins rush line showed itself slightly stronger than the Kendalls although they were not able to force the ball over the line.

Sutherland, the swindler caught by the Phila- delphia police, seems to be willing to let the detectives think he is Tascott. He argues with them that he is not the murderer of Snell and | tantalizes the poor detectives, who think they see the $50,000 reward dangling right before their eyes. A bogus signature found in Suth- erland’s trunk is believed by the simple-minded | detectives to look very much like a bogus sig- nature given the Chicago police by Tascott’s mistress, There is really little similarity. The officers evidently spend most of their time in | conversation with their captive, as the Phila- delphia papers are filled with colloquys be- tween the detectives and Sutherland hike the following: Chief Wood rather startled him by saying. “We suspect you to be Wm. B, Tuscott of Chicago, the murderer of Amos J. Snell. Now, | if you are ‘Tascott we will find it out.” Sutherland’s defiant air sisspresre imme- diately and he began rubbing his hands nervy- ously, while his eyes were fastened on the floor. After a moment's silence he said: “You will find I am not Tascott. “There will be a Chicago officer here in afew days to identify you,” said the chief. “Oh, I've changed so much in the last two years,” he replied, ‘‘that no one could identify you may as well tell us, for e. Chief Wood then read the description of Tas- cott to the man and- pointed out to him how closely he tallied with it. “That description,” said Sutherland, tremu- lously, ‘says Tascott hus a scar on his elbow. ane scar on my arm is several inches from the elbow.” “It is near enough, however, to be designated as the elbow,” i ve eplied Chief Wood. LYNCHING IN WEST VIRGINIA. Two of the McCoy Gang Tuken from Jail and Hanged. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun says that about midnight Friday night a mob sur- rounded the Lincoln county jail. at Hamlin, W. Va., forced an entrance after a short resist- ance by the authorities, took two of the pris- oners—Green McCoy and Milton Haley—and hung them toa tree a short distance from the jail building. Haley and McCoy are natives of Kentucky and are allied to the McCoy faction of outlaws whose murderous feud with the Hat- fields is generally familiar to the public. Mc- Coy was engaged in a shooting scrape with Paris Brumfield of Lincoln county about a year ago, and about a month ago he, in eompany with Haley, ambushed and attempted to mur- der Al. Brumfield and his wife. is shooting occurred on a Sunday night and both the vic- time were badly wounded, Mrs, Brumfield be- ing shot in the breast and her husband in the leg. For a time it was thought the woman would die, but she finally recovered. McCoy and Haley escaped to Kentucky, but not until there had been two more attempts at assassina- tion in the county, in one of which a man named Adkins, a friend of the Brumfields, was wounded. The two would. murderers were arrested at Ben post office, Martin county, Ky., and were confined in jail there. Friday they were locked up in the Lincoln county (W. Va.) jail, and in the absence of definite information itis supposed they were lynched by some of the Haitield sympathizers. _ see At Camden, Me., there was launched Satur- day from the yard of H. M.
