Madame Sihida, who was a very beautiful woman, had resented insults offered her by the director of the prison, In consequence of her so doing she was stripped and flogged in the préfence of all the men in the prison, Fearing @ renewal of ber humiliation and suffering she committed suicide by taking poison.

THE DETAILS WILL BE MADE KNOWN MARCE 1— ‘TALKS WITH CLERGTMEN INTERESTED IN THR PROJECT—MILLIONG WANTED FOB THE PaosEct. The action of Bishop Hurst in securing an option on a fine near the Tenleytown road with the view of making it the site ofa national university ander Methodist manage- ment seems to have met hearty approval among Methodists, not only in this city but elsewhere, and the enterprise is promised strong support, =~ SENATOR STANFORD'S INTEREST. “Yes, I am interested in the establishment here of national Methodist university,” said Senator Stanford to s Stax reporter this after- noon. “Interested, so far, to the extent that I think it would be ao eee thing. No, I have not subscribed and cannot say what I may do in the matter. Bishop Hurst called on mo this morning, but I was just on the point of starting to the Capitol, so the bishop wil! call again tomorrow and will give me more definite ideas than I now have on the subject. The ground bas, Iunderstand, beensecured, The plan asi have heard it stated is a good one and it should be encouraged.” WHAT REV. MR. RICHARDSON BAYS. Rev. Mr. C. Herbert Richardson of McKen- dree church said to a StaR reporter this morn- ing: “Now that the scheme of founding a great Methodist university bas become public I sup- pose it is as well to. discuss the matter openly. As yet the plans are by no means matured, as the —— has only been discussed for a couple of monthe, but I can say that an option has been taken on a platof ground known as the Davis tract and the sale must be consum- mated by the latof March, That it will be rigs is - for rupert s better recor ill not college, rly speaking. It wi bo “a. university "in the” brondest sense of the term, to a certain extent along the lines laid down by Johns Hopkins, No yee have yet been made for raising funds for its endowment, but Bishop Hurst has been very active lately in the matter, and has, I under- stand, already raised a large sum of money in this city. ‘hen the question will be urged before the various conferences and other us- semblies of the church this spring and they will no doubt lend their enthusiastic aid. Our conference meets at Cumberland on the 5th of March, and by early fall I am sure the raising of funds will be well advanced. Iam an ardent advocate of the movement. for I know it will havea firet rate effect on ourchurch. We have no university now south of Syracuse and Boston. From its nos this city it will call upon all the south for support and will receive it, too. No better place could possibly have been chosen for the location of to Sapa university than the city of Washing: ton, and I am_ of the opinion th it will have the effect of inducing other nominations to found seats of learnin; this city, in This institution of ours, while it will be under distinctly Methodist auspices, will be broad in every sense. To show the spirit under which it is pogisning its exist- ence, I may say that some of the largest con- tributions that have yet been received have been from Presbyterians and Episcopalians.” 4 TALK WITH DR. COREY, Rev. Dr. George H. Corey of the Metropoli- tan church, speaking to a Stan reporter of the university project, said: ‘It has been by many a long-felt want. Ihave advocated its estab- lishment for Sweaty yeara, The city of Wash- ington is the social, politi and intellectual center of the republic, d the Methodist church should have a university here. Somuch for its desirability. The plans, that is as far as they have been proposed, have not as yet been made public, nor will ta be until the 1st of March. We hav wever, secured a site—a most beau- tiful one above West Washington, about ninety Coat reh abe! a Rn adapted — the ge pose, beii ut as piont as there is in Tho Distrint. For thie'we pay $100,000, and when the papers are finished and recorded the church throughout the land will be canvassed. We do not propose a simple college, but a uni- versity fully equipped in all its branches and with post graduate courses as complete as can be made in all ite departments. For this we should have several million dollars and the in- dications are, from some of the heavy subscrip- tions that we have been promised anda mem- ip of two and a balf millions, that we will be successful,” BEY. DR. DASHIELL'S VIEWS. Rev. John H. Dashiell, D.D., pastor of the Fifteenth Street M.E. church, said: “I think it has always been felt among Methodists the country over that a great university should be established in this city under their auspices, This plan is simply the culmination of that idea, I think it is Yoo early to discuss the question at any length, but the plans are not at all matured as yet and I really know of nothin, more to say than been said al- ready in Tue Star. The whole matter is in the hands of Bishop Hurst and he is work- ing enthusiastically to interes: the Methodists everywhere in his scheme, and he is sure to meet with great success,” WHAT REV. MR. CHAPMAN SAYS. Rev. Wm. H. Chapman of Union chapel said: “Tf there is any one place where the Methodist church should establish a great university that pee is in this city, the capital of the nation. I rmly believe that the project having in view such an institution is bound to be a suc- cess. When the ple here have the matter fairly brought before them there is no doubt they will give it their sympathy and practical Page ae The location that has been selected is, in the inion of those who have visited it and examined the grounds, a very suit- able place. With Bisho) Hurst at its head, one of the finest scholars and = ablest men in the Methodist church, I have no doubt the scheme will be a success. While the church has many colleges it has but one or two universities, and needs just such an institution as this promises to be.” DR. NAYLOR’S APPROVAL, “You may write me down as heartily in favor of the project,” said Rev. Henry R. Naylor of Hamline church, “Such an _ institution has glong been contemplated and the time ils now dp for carrying the plan into effect. Methodism could not do a more appro- riute or far-sighted thing than to establish just such # univerity in this city, and I have no doubt of its complete success, It will need Leon eres millions in fact, to endow it properly.» jut this will be forthcoming in good time. Bishop Hurst, who is at the head of the movement, is just the man to carry it through, and he will do it, too,” ee NOMINATIONS TODAY. The New Land Officers—Army Promo- tions.

Why the Railroad is Favored by Mer- chants—Men who Think Mules Should be Superseded by Locomotives—The Coal Men and the Canal, —— In the Maryland house of delegates yester- day Dr. Shaw asked leave for the committee of ways and means to introduce a bill entitled an act to authorize the Chesapeake and Ohio canal company to lease its canal and sil its works to the Washington and Cumberland railroad company, and to lease and release all the liens of this state upon the canal and all its, property in favor of the lessee. The amended charter of the Washington and Cumberland railroad company, it is said, will provide that this company shall coustruct one or more tracks from Cumberland to Washing- ton; may connect with other railroads; shall maintain and operate such portions of the canal as are not used for railroad purposes, and may borrow money not to exceed $8,000,000, The proposal to build a railroad in place of the Chesapeake aud Ohio canal continues to be ® matter of earnest discussion among the busi- ness men of Washington. Below will be found the views on this topic expressed by citizens interviewed by Sian reporters. As shown in the interviews published yesterday views of citizens differ, but the railroad project is gen- erally received with favor. ¥. L, BIDDONS. “Past experience in the canal’s affairs,” said Mr. F. L, Siddons, “would seem to indicate that no hope of a successful future for it can be entertained. The railroad echeme seems to me to be the only practical course that can be pursued, Canals are constructed and main- tained now only when railroads are impracti- cable. Isee nothing inthe way to the rail- road idea, and in it is to be found every advan- tage in the way of rapid transportation and the better handling of the freight that modern in- veution has given to the world.” ROBERT H. JOHNSON, Robert H. Johnson, fruit and produce dealer, said: “The canal is of no earthly use except for the shipment of coal, lime, stone, &c., but the construction of a railroad would open up that country for not only such shipments but also for the shipment of poultry, fruits, vege- tables and commodities requiring rapid trans- portation. ‘That part of Maryland yields some of the tinest produce, fruits and vege- tables that come to this market, and the only thing needed to get them here sound and fresh is @ railroad.” J. G. WATERS. J. G. Waters of the firm of J.G. & J. M. Waters said that either way the question is de- cided there will be a litigation. “I should like,” he said, *‘to see a railroad by all means, If the Maryland legislature passes the bill there will be a hitch at once, and the point will arise which is the superior, the court or the legisla- ture. However, whatever may be done it wil be several years before the road !s completed, and of thatIam sure, Leun’t for the life of me see why the coal men should prefer a canal, when there are so many good reasons why they should prefer a railroad.” H. A. WILLARD, Mr. H. A. Willard, president ef the Columbia fire insurance company, said: “I am in favor of a new railroad voming to Washington by all means. The canal is too far behind the age; it is too slow. People want better, surer, faster means of bringing their produce to a market and a ruilroad is exactly what they need.” JOHN CORSON. “Oh, give us a railroad by all means,” ex- claimed Mr. John Corson, of the banking firm of Corson & McCartney. ‘The canal is far too slow for our needs, and should be replaced by a road along the bed. I don't suppose that the state of Maryland is at all desirous of our hav- ing the road come here, for it would hurt the interests of Baltimore seriously, I should be in favor, if a road were buiit, of retaining this lower level of the canal for the purpose of feeding the big mills over in Georgetown, for it is now in good conditlon and is a great bene- fit. But the coming of the road would boom this place wonderfully, Ibelieve in hoisting bee flag high whenever a railroad comes to wp.” W. 1, LOWDERMILAt. Mr. W. H. Lowdermilk of tho Anglim book store firm spent fourteen years as an editor at Cumberland, Md., and made a special study of the canal-railroad problem, which is there of permanent interest. In a conversation with a Stan reporter this morning he said that in his estimation a canal would be better for the interests of the city if it could be made to pay, but on that point he had serious doubts, A railroad, he added, that might be built in the bed of ‘the canal would Mcessurily be a “one-legged affair,” unless a great deal of money were put into it, but it would stand more show of succeeding than a canal which would have strong competition to fight at the start. Senator Davis, he thought, intends to go just far enough with his road scheme to in- luce the people of both Washington and Balti- more to show their hands; that is, to give him an inkling of what they would do if he pushed the road to either place, The law allows the construction of the road as far us Williamsport this year, and this, thought Mr, Lowdermilk, is all that would be done. P. ¥. HOUGH. P. V. Hough, wholesale and retail butter merchant: “I'he railroad scheme is a grand one and I hope it will not be long before it is car- ried out. The construction of such a road would open up that part of Maryland and also the Virginia and West Virginia borders. There is lots of butter made along the proposed route and large quantities are already shipped here, With the construction of the road there would not only be more butter made but the ship- ments here would be larger, Large shipments of butter are now received from Berlin and Harper's Ferry, and equally large shipments would be made from other points on the road.” 8. L, HOOVER. “J have often thought what a good thing it would be if such a road was built in place of the canal,” said 8. Lemon Hoover, butcher in the Center market. “‘The road would no doubt increase the shipments of cattle to this city. ‘There are cattle raised in Upper Maryland that would be sent here if such 4 road was estab- lished, Cattle cannot be shipped on the canal and if the farmers desire to send their cattle here they have to drive them all the way. I think the road could not help benefiting Poth Maryland and Washington.” CHARLES RIDGELY. ‘Mr. Charles Ridgely, drummer for J, L. Bar- bour & Son, said: “The advantages of a road such as is proposed are not fully understood by many because they don’t understand exactly bow slow canal traveling is. If the railroad scheme is carried out it will be of great benefit to all concerned.” W. T, DAVIS, ‘ “Tf the plan is carried out,” said Mr. W. T. Davis of the firm of Jno. A. Davis & Son, com- mission merchants, “it will open up a new country, There are many spple orchards through that country, but the fruit cannot now be shipped here because of the long haul over the roads toarailroad. The construction of the road d cannot help proving a great benefit Bok to the people reap and along the line of the road.” JOUN T. MITCHELL, Mr. John T. Mitchell declared that he be- lieved that, outside of the coal men, the entire community preferred a railroad, GEO, G, BOTELER. Mr. Geo, G, Boteler of Cropley, Boteler & Crampton, dealers in agricultural implements, said that he has always been in favor of the railroad idea since the t of 1889, and freshe' firmly believes that the interests of the District would be best served by the building of the Proposed road, 4. B. JACKSON, Mr. A. B. Jackson, director of the Farmers D. C.. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, A DARING ROBBERY. Noon Raid on a Pennsyivania Avenue Store Under the Shadow of the Capitol. A daring robbery was committed about noon today at the hard ware store of P. A. Connell, 473 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, just within the shadow of the CapitoL Mr. Connell was in the store at the time. It was during the hour when most persons are at lunch and business is dull, Two men, evidently strangers in the city, entered and wanted to look at # pair of nippers, saying they were electricians and wanted to purchase nippers wires. They looked at the nippers and gave as anexcuse for not purchasing them that they were rot long en oug “We want a couple of long-handled spades for digging poet eben, ant one of the custo- ‘THE THIEY's OPORTCNITY. Then Mr. Connell escorted them to the rear of the store, where the spades are kept, The front side door had been left open in the morn- ing, as was the door leading from the hallway to the store, This door opened just in the rear of the front show window, which had also been raised to let in the dry air, While Mr. Connell was waiting on his custom- ers @ third man entered through the side door, slipped into the store and filled his over- coat ‘ets with eight good revolvers, such es Colt’s, Remington's, &c. He bad succeeded in almost emptying the show window when Mr. Connell happened to look toward the front door. He looked just in time to see the wees of a man disappear through the door into THE PURSUIT AND CAPTURE. Mr. Connell ieft his two customers and has- tened to the front door, arriving there in time to seo the man walking leisurely along the ave- nue toward 43¢ street. The proprietor started after him, whév the latter turned, and seeing sore, will Leader 4 & country which the canal cannot do and be of great benefit to Washi: and inthe end to the state of Maryland. I am heartily in favor of the railroad project.” . F. BROOKS, “Why, wo want a railroad, of course,” re- marked Mr. E. F. Brooks of 15th street. “Canals are altogether too old-fashioned; but if the railroad is started it ought to start from this end first. What we want is some kind of freight facilities, and we can't get as good by any other means than a railroad. Of course if we can't get the road we will be satisfied with the canal, as ‘half a loaf is better than none,’ you kno’ H. M. SWEENEY. Mr. H. M. Sweeney, president of Farmers and Mechanics bank, said that he could pro- bably be converted into a railroad man, but as it was he was better acquainted with the work. ings and interests of the canal than of a rail- roud. “Yet,” he added, “I would be quite willing, I think, to see a railroad.” @, 3. JOHNSON. Mr. G. J. Johnson said: “I have not given the subject much attention, but the railroad seems to me to be much more desirable thane canal.” THE B. AND 0. AND THE CANAL, “Itcan be readily seen why the Baltimore and Ohio people are desirous of having the canal restored as a water way,” said a promi- nent Georgetown miller to a Stam reporter. | Connell Le started off ona run down 4; street “The canal as it has been managed for the past | sCatch thief!

The bankrupt condition of this water way placed the Baltimore and Ohio where they want the canal restored. It will cost at least one-third more to restore it now than it would have cost if the work had been done directly after the freshet last June. To raise this money bonds would be issued as re- aod bonds and given priority over all osber mds, the same as in the case of the 1878 bonds, of which the Baltimore and Ohio com- ny hold €260,000 of the $500,000 issue, The timore and Ohio would be the only pur- chasers of the new bonds and would obtain them at probably 25 cents on the dollar. They hold about #1,260,000 of the preferred bonds at 8 cost of about $460,000.
