THE NeW J “¥ MYSTERY. Miss Pare«!! Practically a Prisoner in the Kniffen House. cRS. Tnentox, N.J., Jan. 4.—The police are as much at fault as ever with regard to the per- petrator of the Kniffen homicide. Miss Purcell was informed by a United Press reporter that there were rumors in circulation that she knew more about the crime than any one else aud she at once became hysterical. A boy nained Louis Kelly was ina stable in the rear of the Kniffen residence watching a sick horse on the night of the murder and asserts he was awake all night and heard no outcry nor saw any per- son about. The stable is forty fect from Kmif- fen’s house. ‘Miss Purcell is practically a prisoner in the apartments of Dr. Kniffen. She has not been told that she is @ prisoner and has not formally placed under arrest, but the constant presence of the officers mean the same thing? Albert Patterson, the draggist whose store 8 under Kniffen’s dental parlors, is about tie only man who thinks the crime the work of thieves.

There is nothing ex- traordinary in this, for Mr. Woodruff hae been spending about three days a week here ever since President Harrison was inaugurated. Mr. Woodruff knows the power of patronage when properly distributed and applied, and he is satisfied that no one in Kings county has a bet- ter distributing scheme than he, nor can any other of the many leaders of the ‘‘free and in- dependent” make more effective appiication of the spoils, Last night 181 members of the Kings county republican committec held a caucus and came to the conclusion that Mr, Woodruff the man who ought to be chairman of th orgunization when the election is held next week. There are about 500 members of this committee and 181 is not a majority by a buck- etful, but the primary result of the caucus was to send Mr. Woodruff here as rapidly as possi- ble to claim all the patronage in bis official capacity as chairman which is going to be (if the other candidates don't object), One ,of the main points of interest to gentiémen seeking patronage is the office of Assistant Secretary oj the ‘Treasury Batcheller, and thither did Mr. Woodruff wend his way. Some humorist who was evidently aware of the situation wrote ‘Brooklyn wants it” on # slip of paper and. attached it to the large terrestial globe in the Secretary's room. ‘The Secretary saw it and beplingy suggested that the inscription be erased and in its stead the truthful statement be placed: “This would satisfy Woodraff.” Yet Mr. Woodruff keeps on asking for more with am easy grace that sur- — even the historic artlessuess of Oliver it, PES AEE Se Two Divorce Cases.

A spade and an iron hook were brought into the Police Court today and solemnly laid on one of the tables, An expectant hush pervaded the building, and the Beall grave robbery case was before the court, The de- fendant, W. W. Beall was present, supported by his lawyers, W. A. Cook and Edward Suther- land. Prosecuting Attorney Armes stood alone for the prosecution, THE OPENING SENSATION, The very beginning of the trial was a sensa- tion, Mr. Armes arose and said: ‘There iss man in the court, your honor (pointing out » young man with with white hair), who has some connection wit the defendant who is now talking with one of the government witnesses, Yesterday this same man took another witness across to Col. Cook's office, where he was closeted with the defendant for some considerable time, His name, as I find from this card, is R J. Ewig, and I desire to have the government witness now talking with him step inside the Ta Col. Cook sprang to his feet and remarked that he did not want the prosecating attorney or any one else to cast any reflections on any- thing which occurred in his office. Juage Miller interrupted the discussion, say- ie fae: all such matter must come up after the tt A MISSING WITNESS, Mr. Armes said one of his most important witnesses, one John Graham, a guard at the jail had mysteriously left the jurisdiction of the court, Coi, Cook asked if the prosecuting attorney was rnak ata postponement, “Tam willing to try the case up to the Gra- ham point,” seid Mr. Armes, Col. Cook did not agree to this plan. THE TWO INFORMATIONS AGAINST DR. BEALL were then read, one charging bim with dese- rating the grave of Mrs. Check, and the other with doing s similar injury to the resting place of Mary E. Hawkins, At 2 o’clock Prosecuting Attorney Armes. asked for an adjournment until 2:30 wken he would proceed. ‘This was allowed after con- siderable demur on Col. Cook's part. THE WHITE HAIRED YOUNG MAN. R. J. Ewig the young man who was practi- cally charged with tampering with the gov- ernment witnesses in the Beall case was very cautious in his conversation when a Srar_ reporter taied to in- terview him. The trial was going on aud an individual with a policeman’s uniform and a white beard, who is connected with the court, tried to interfere with all his little might, but, nevertheless, the interview dragged on. Ewig is a young man about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He refused to say where he lived or what his occupation was, but said he had nothing to do with tie government witnesses; that they were friends of his and at the times he had beeneeen with them he was simply taking of personal maiters. After considerable reluctance the young man ad-! mitted that he was a witness the defense, but as to what he was going to testify to the youth was as mute as the grave. “It will come out in time,” was his re- mark, and the gentleman with the beard and aniform becoming especially demonstrative the reporter withdrew. for ——— Card Receptions at the White House.

Chief Clerk Maynard of the inspector's office is gown with the the epidemic, while the chief clerk of the first aesistant’s office, Mr. Fowler, is hardly able to remain at the oflice. The Postmaster General has so far escaped all touch of the epidemic and will go this afternoon as usual to Philadel- phia to spend Sunday, Among the clerks in the pees the complaiut has created a great havoc and there are more vacant desks just now than during election time. IT PENETRATES THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. In the Interior department may be found many victims of the epidemic. A large num- ber are, however, confined to their homes and the sick list has reached unusual proportions. It seems, however, that colds are more preva- lent thun the mystcrious disease called the grip. Mr. Horton Pope, the private secretary of Secretary Noble, admits that he has a bad cold and as it is the only admission of any kind that that axtute person has been known to make his friends are couvinced that his cold is of a se- rious character. TUE CITY'S POSTAL SERVICE STILL CRIPPLED, At the city post office the grip still has a tirm hold. Today seventeen of the clerks and niue- teen of the carriers are absent on that account. ‘Lhe work of the oitice is greatly interfered with and everything is in a very confused condition, It has been found impossible to deliver mail on anything like +cheduie time and it may be that one or more of the carrters’ routes will not be served at all today, POLICEMEN ON THE SICK LIST, The fotal number of policemen on the sick list at present is thirty-nino; detailed, forty- eight; granted leave, four; absent without leave, one. The number of sick and absent | members of the force being so great the police department is in rather a crippled condition, In-pector Swindells, Lieutenants Anriss and Verner are ali sick.

A Nortn Canourxa Gounp.—When William Henry Harrison was making a successful run for the presidency the popular beverage adopted by his followers to meet a campaign fling of the democrats was cider, and wherever @ campaign log cabin was erected and # coon- skin exposed to the public gaze there also could be found the barrel or barrels of cider. Now toa man on foot the liquor was easy of access and the pedestrians could ladle up all they wanted, but the horsemen were at a disadvantage. To effect this the horsemen armed themselves with ait stemmed and capacious at the ulbous end, With this they could reach to the bottom of the barrel if necessary without getting out of the saddle. This morning one of the President's North Carolina admirers sent him one of these gourds of the vintage of 1840, and it now decorates the mantel in Secretary Halford’s room, Tue U.S. training ship Portsmouth sailed from New York this morning with the naval apprentices on board for a three months’ cruise in the West Indies, SERIOUS STABBING CASE. A Wound in the Abdomen Which May Prove Fatal—Two Men Arrested. Yesterday in the Police Court Jadge Miller continued the case of Charles Martin and Arthur Brown to await the result of the wounds of George Wood alias “Tobe” Williams, re- ceived on Tuesday night last, The trouble was at Steve Wall's saloon, corner of 11th and Q streets northwest, where the fight began in which Officer Crippen and two colored men recently lost their lives, Brown and Williams were tusseling, and it is stated that Martin, without any provocation, drew a knife and stabbed Williams in the abdomen. Tho wounded man was taken to his home, 232 43¢ street southwest, and attended by Dr. Reilly, who is of the opinion that the wound will prove fatal, of which Williams is fully aware. The kffair was kept comparatively quiet until Dr. Reilly, finding that there was no hope, re- poner the fact to the police. Lieut. Hettuer irected Officer Moreland to work the case, and he arrested Martin at his father's house, 1427 N street, and Brown, who is ci plice, at 1205 R street. Yesterday taken tothe bedside of Williams, who fully identified him, saying he did not intend to have him arrested, but na ke was dying the law must take its course’ Recent Robberies. Malinda Miner of 315 East Capitol street re- ports that her clothes line was robbed on the night of the 2d instant.—H. B. Kirkwood of 1423 G street states that $200 was stolen from the safe in his bar room yesterday.——Henry Lambert, 329 D street southwest, reports that ‘ance to the citizens of Washington than the proposed extension of the principal thorougb- fares of the District across the Eastern Branch to the District line. For some time pest En- gineer Howell, acting under orders from the engineer department, has been busy making lines for Pennsylvania avenue, and today sub- mitted his final views on the subject with maps and profiles of different possible routes, THREE ROUTES SUGGESTED. ‘The question of location for final construc- tion of the avenue extended, Mr. Howell says, | seems to be narrowed down to: First, astraight | line from the river road parallel to the me € avenue east of the capitol; second, « line with | several bends, better ted to the topogre- phy Se She settion; ont ird, a line with one | nd between the river road and the District line which could be graded at a lighter cost than the straight line first mentioned 1! Popular sentiment ecems to be IX PAVOR OF THE STRAIGHT LIXE, which would be more in keeping with the | present plan and besuty of the city of Washing- ton, looking to its probable extension over the whole District. This will in all probability be the line decided upon, This straight ex- tension of the avenue would intersect the Bowen road about a balf a mile northeast of its intersection with the Suitland road. A branch avenue ie contemplated to run from the main avenue to the District line | crossing the intersection of the Bowen aud | Suit roads, which, if constructed, would | materially relieve the traffic now passing over the crowded bridge at Anacostia. The second and third plans, if adopted. it is thought could be built to the Bowen road with the present appropriation of $25,000, while the first plan would cost about €10,000 more. Capt. Rossel forward the matter to Maj. Raymond with his recommendation in a few days, after which Maj. Raymond will give the matter bis consideration and forward it to the board with his report for their final action. —s= INMATES OF SULDIERS’ HOME. | Is It a Violation of the Law to Sell Liquor tu Them? case of James Gallagher, charged with selling liquor tosoldiers (inmates of the Soldiers’ Home) j was resumed, Mr. Dumont prosecuting and Mr. C. Maurice Smith for the defendant, There were no disputed facts, the question being | whether an inmato of the home is a soldier under the provisions and meaning of the law. Mr, Smith claimed that the law apphed to the | soldiers in active service; that a discharged soldier was a mere civilian and that the inmates | of the “home” were not affected by the law. The court said a man may be soldier and yet not be in active service, Mr. Smith said it would be establishing a precedent which would have a terrible effect on the community for the court to decide tiis case against bisciient, as meu might go around and ruin any one’s business, | ON THE GAME FOOTING 48 BOLDIERS IN ACTIVE | SERVICE. Mr. Dumont for the prosecution said he agreed with Mr. Smith that a man to be really a soldier must be in active service, but that by the rules and laws governing the Soldiers’ Home it is distinctly stated that inmates of the Soldiers’ Home shall be on the seme footing as | men actually in active service and shall be governed by the rules of war, The laws of the District must be carried out, said Mr. Dumont, aud here was # breach of the luw and the offender must be punished. “When a man enters the home he subjects himself to the army regulations and us asolder im every sense.” JUDGE MILLER SAID that where a police regulation came in contact with an ordinance of Congress the ordiuance of course stood. The whole question was whether an inmate of the home was a soldier. Once before he had decided that an inmate of the home was a soldier, The question at that time was not argued to the length that it had been now, and besides the manner in which the soldiers Were trapped into the saloon by a policeman in disguise must be considered. “I will reserve my decision for a time,” were the words of the judge, which for the time ciosed the case. _ Arrival of Justice Brewer.

Sailor this morning stated to a Srar re- porter that about two weeks ago Mr. Stearns came to him and told him he determined upon going to California, as he had desired to do many years, but had never had the money before. Mr. Stearns did not tender his resignatio: when he left a few days ago, but he was so ani ious to go to California that Mr. wad does not ex im every effort to detain him.
