Supposed to be Jim Duncan, a Wash- ington Criminal, It was stated in yesterday's Stan that police and jail officials here were unanimous in the opinion that the Harry Poindexter arrested and released in Cincinnati was none other than J. B. Buck alias J, B, Brown alias Bright, who is under sentence for the larceny of Mrs. Pot- ter’s diamonds and whose successful scheme to get out of jail here was related in yesterday's Stan. Several circumstances besides the description sent here from Cincinnati serve to strengthen the belief. The style of work Poin- dexter was about to engage in was similar to that he did at the Arlington here, his story of being respectably connected is similar and the name he took there is that of one of the per- sons living in the house where a fellow prisoner was, ‘The “Reddy” Foster who was mixed upin the Cincinnati scheme is thought to be “Jim” Dun- can, a well-known character of this city. who has an unenviable reputation in police circles, He had been about here for several years, and some time since he married a gems © girl and brought her to this city and placed her in house of ill-fame, who is said now tobe in Cincinnati, Last summer he was arrested here a8 a suspicious character and was sentenced to the work house, but, taking an appeal, he re- mained his time in jail, ie was wanted for the larceny of overcoats, and with Jim Foster left and went to Baltimore, where Foster (who is from Pittsburg) was arrested and is now in prison in Raltimore, While in jail Duncan had # cell very near that of Buck, and they became somewhat intimate. It is thought that Duncan was the man who drove Buck and Sewall around the city after they had escaped from the District jail and, perhaps, assisted in getting them out of jail. It would not be surprising for him to take the family name of his former pal and prefix his own of “Keddy.” Buck is wanted by the warden of the jail, from whose custody ho es- caped, Newman is wanted by his gureties and those who innocently assisted in getting him out of jail, and Duncan is wanted by the de- tectives, ae, F STREET PROPERTY SOLD.

To the Editor of Tue Eventxe Sran: In your very interesting little history of the patent office published in Tue Star of last Sat- urday your correspondent makes a small mis- take in his statement of facts, In speaking of Dr. Thornton, who was the first presiding genius of that bureau, he says that “many a day when the doctor had nothing to do he used to get out his fishing tackle and take a turn with the black bass and perch of the upper Poto- mac.” The smile comes in here when it is re- membered that in those early days there were no black bass in the Potomac nor any of its tributaries. In the year 1853, just after the extension of the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to the Ohio river, Col. James Forsythe and Col. Wm. Shriver, two veteran lovers of Walton's “gentle art,” then residing in Wheeling, Va., took from the waters of Fishing creek, near Parkersburg, some twenty fine specimens of black bass to Wheeling by steamer. At Wheel- ing they were placed in the water tank or ten- der of a locomotive and therein were conveyed over the mountains to Harper's Ferry, where they were dumped into the Potomac as fresh, hearty and lively as they were the hour they were taken from their native stream. And from them have descended all the thousands of bars which have since been taken from the Potomac and tributary waters, Let all lovers of that gamiest of fish give all due credit and thanks to those old-time sportsmen, Messrs, Forsythe and Shriver, whose memories are still green and uufaded, though they have long been laid away in silent rest. Mc. Policeman Crippen’s Widow. The police state that Mrs, Crippen, widow of the late Policeman Crippen, is worthy of any charity that may be bestowed upon her. She was married to Crippen May 6, 1885, by the Rey. Dr. Domer. Their marriage was not kept secret, but Mrs, Crippen was still known as Mrs.’ Florence Denig,” because like other wives similurly situated she wanted to retain her position under the government, They lived happily together, it is said, and Mrs, Crippen attended her husband through several spells of sickness, The police deny that any trouble existed between husband and wife. ‘Lhe following subscriptions for the benefit of the widow have been received at Tux STAR office: A lady, 60c.; L., $1. pect ne Pde OE Fined for Assaylting an Officer.

On one of the benches in the waiting room of the Potomac ferry company’s wharf yoster- day morning, sat a young woman, described as being about twenty years old and with » dark complexion. She wore a red dress and a small red bonnet to match. She also wore a dark coat, The matron who went on duty at 10 o'clock noticed the girl's actions and heard that she had stated to another woman that she was going to jump overboard. Upon hearing this the matron walked across the room and took a seat beside the young woman and questioned her concerning the statement she had made. “I have no father, no mother, no sister, no brother. They are all dead and I have noth- ing to live for,” were the despairing words that fell from the young woman's lips. “But I wouldn't kill myself for all that,” said the kind-hearted matron. The young woman then volunteered the information that instead of jumping overboard she INTENDED TO HANG HERSELF. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. THE B. AND ©. RIGHT OF WaT Taz.

WEY WATER IS SCARCE AT THE NAYY YARD. Some time ago Tux Evextxa Stam referred to the letter of Commandant R. W.

In his letéer, it will be remembered, he said that he thoaght the District authorities might devise some method that would give them a moderate snp- ply of water. and that the manufacturing in- terests ought to receive more attention than they generally do from the District govern- ment, He said that to remove e the pumps of the old tug Rescue had to be em- loved to give the dwellingsa temporary supply. he matter was referred to Capt, Lusk and’ by him referred to Supt. Hayden for report, who, The matron informed Policeman King what the girl had said, and that officer questioned | her. She told him that she was able to take care of herself and he concluded not to arrest her. She left the wharf and walked up 7th street, turning at Water street and going in the direction of the oyster wharf. Who the girl is is not known, but it is thought that she resides in Alexandria and is employed in this city, She appeared at the wharf later im the day and purchased a ticket for Alexandria and went down on the steamer City of Washington at | 5:30 o'clock. The matron says that the young | woman had considerable money in her pocket | book when she [ peeps the ticket, Those | who saw her and heard her statement aro of | the opinion that she was simply trying to create a sensation. ——- GRIEF OR JEALOUSY. Attempted Suicide of Miss Myra A. Murdock by Taking Laudanum. There was some excitement in the vicinity of } the court house last evening caused by a report that Miss Myra A. Murdock, a type writer, whose office and rooms are at 462 Louisiana avenue, | had attempted to commit suicide by taking laudanum. Mrs. Hannah Carter, the janitress of the building, which is occupied by mem- | bers of the bar as offices, about 6:30 o'clock last evening went into Miss Murdock's room.on the lower floor, and there found the young woman lying almost unconscious and an empty lauda- num phial at her side, Mra. Carter, fearful that the girl would die, ran to Mrs. Young's to get some warm water to prepare an emetic, When she returned a number of persons fol- lowed her, among them a policeman. The officer at once sent for Dr. Gill at the Emer. gency hospital, who responded quickly, aud soon had the satisfaction of seeing that’ the paticnt was out of danger, Miss Murdock is said to be from Baltimore county, Md., and had been engaged as a trpe | writer at No. 462 for about two months and had | veen quite successful in her business, It i said that she loat her mother by death a few | weeks since and that a favorite sister has been lying at the point of death, and it is thought that her sorrow caused the rash act, which some | persons, however, attribute to jealousy. A let- | ter in her pocket addressed to her father bade him an affectionate good-by, but did not al- lude to the cause of her trouble, and she did not tell it to any one on her recovery, This morning she was resting easy and is thought to ' be out of danger. | MISS MURDOCK SAYS THERE 18 NO MAN IN THE CASE. | Miss Murdock was found by a Stam reporter at noon today lying ona lounge. She looked quite bright, but complained of being weak. | She said that the papers had it all wrong; that there was no man in the case; that her business was enough for her to bother with, “My | parents do not live in Baltimore and there was no such;letter found as is stated.” “How came you to take laudanum, then?” asked the reporter, “I simply took too much. It was the first that took and it was accidental. It was my business that led me to it.

Food for Reflection in the Future of These Ever-Increasing Automata. From the Kendal County (England) News, So far as the automatic machines are yet in Use among us they have done comparatively little to diminish human employment. The sweetmeats mechanically dispensed at railway stations have been probably consumed by way of extras, and not in substitution for like goods which would have been purchased at # confec- tioner's, The same may be said of cigarettes and splashes of scent, If confectioners and to- bacconists and perfamers have lost, the loss has been so widely distributed as to be inappreciable. With regard to matches the case is perhaps dif- ferent, Match boys and match girls must find their revenues substantially diminished, and must anticipate that their ‘craft is in danger.” The automatic “try-your-weight” machines have driven the old-tashioned apparatus, with boy attendants, completely out of the market, and have aunihilated a small bat not undeserv- jug branch of industry, Butif it be true that American extensions of the automatic principle are to be introduced into this country a much |more serious inroad upon industries, both small and great, is in store for us. We are to have our penny newspapers as we now obtain our penny chocolates, and the news; boy will become as extinct as the dodo. Shirts ani razors are to become purchasable in the same way, to the probable diminution in the number of shop assistants, and even luncheons of con- siderable proportions and variety are to be erally procurable upon the automatic method, to the great prejudice of waiters and bar maids, ‘The air is full of talk just now about labor and capital, and in all seriousness there is mat- | ter for reflection in the future of these un- gainly automata, which bid fair to swell the dividends of company capitalists, while they take the bread outof the mouths of some of the humblest of our honest workers, By the way, it isacurious fact that more than sixty years ago the priuciple upon which the auto- lied to ngland these square boxes survive in many an old-fash- ioned inn, By dropping a balf-penny into the slot the box, by means of a spring similar to those now employed for other purposes, flew open and for the half-penny the operator was entitled to take a pipe of tobacco. In those good old-fashioned times people were supposed. to be honest enough to take no more than a single pipe and to close the box before pening | iton tothe nextcustomer, The late king o! Siam wasa purchaser of a dozen of them, which ) are reported to have greatly diverted his | majesty, who presented them to some of the | magnates of his court. ed ST. ELMO’S FIRE ON BEN NEVIS. The Brilliant Displays of the Phenome enon Seen at a Scotch Observatory, From Public Opinion. In a paper on “St. Elmo’s Fire on Bem Nevis,” by Angus Rankin, in the Journal of the Scottish Meteorological Society, it is stated that St. Elmo's fire, as seen occasionally at the Ben Nevis observatory, takes the form of jets of light on the topsof all objects that stand any height above the general level of the roof of the observatory, such as the chimneys, ane- mometers, lightning rods, &c. In a very fine display the tops of the objects are quite ablaze with the phenomenon, which then glows and hisses in brilliant tongues of white and blue, from four to six, or even more, inches in length. Nor is the phenomenon confined to these objects alone in the finer displays; but if the observer stands on the roof his hair, hat, pencil, &c., glow with it as well, and when he raises « stick above his head the stick has also a long flame at the top, Further, however, than having a slight ting- ling in his head and hands he suffers no incou- venience. The hissing is a very marked characteristic ot ho peoemnen, belar always ard during splayg, though in feebler displays, when the Tighe ey tty be seen, it cannot be distinguished from the his- sing of the wind and the snow drift. On one occasion the sound was @ very highly pitched note. In the finer and even in ordinary dis- lays St, Elmo's fire is an object of great Cooney, and the stormy character of the weather—namely, squally winds with heavy showers of snow and hail, and with clouds of snowdrift flying all around—heightens rather than diminishes the effect, although at the same time it detracts from the convenience of observing with advantage, Jackson Ready for Sullivan. Talking to the London correspondent of the New York Herald Parson Davies says that Jack- son is open to a challenge from any one in the world. Sullivan had drawn the color tino around him, and could wrap himself in it if he saw fit, but if he wanted to fight with Jackson he could be accommodsted. Negotiations be- tween Jackson and Slavin had been in progress, but had come to naught. Jackson had been made a handsome offer for nine nights in Lon- don and another for two weeks in Paris from December 1. It will be decided today whether or not these offers will be accepted. If the Paris offer is taken Jackson will at its conclu- sion start on a tour through and Ireland, after which he United States, Richard K. Fox goes into ecstacies over Jackson. He saw the Jackson-Smith fight and became so excited that his roar of “Good boy, Jackson!” could be heard above the din of the too crowded rooms of the Pelican club.
