In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing- ham, today the case of Joseph Shorter, indicted for murder, was called. Gen. E. C. Carrington for the defendant said that on conference with the parents of the boy he had advised that the plea of not guilty be withdrawn and a plea of guilty. of manslaughter accepted. The boy agreed todo whatever they advised and the gerernment was willing to uccept such plea. - Lipscomb said he was slow in accepting such action in parricide cases. In this case a number of boys were skylarking last 4th of July near 10th and W streets, and defend- ant ran home, got a fork aad stabbed Edward Smith, the wound causing his death. He did not believe that they could under the evidence claim a verdict of murder. He, therefore, was willing to accept the plea.

At the afternoon sessiin of the Woman's national liberal union yesterday Mr. Wm. F. Aldrich, secretary of the union, made an ad- dress on “Public defenders.” He advocated the employment of a class of public officers, to be called public defenders, whose duty it shall be to guard the interests of the accused in our courts, Mrs. Clara Foltz, the California lawyer, indorsed Mr. Aldrich's proposition and gave her own experiences in witnessing in- Justice done to accused people in her state. She then turned to the subject of woman suffrage and said that she thought the leaders of the movement had been leading it on to certain defeat. She boldly claimed before an audience of woman suffragists that the whole movement was a failnre; that the woman's rights party had done littie and the temperance unions even less. Her remarks caused decided surprise and consternation. She said in answer toaquestion from the audience that women did not have the ballot because they did not want it. Other —— were made by Mr. Richard Hinton, Maj. Blood, Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, Mrs. Dr. Hale, Mra. Collier, Mra, Mrs. Charlotte Smith. THE EVENING SESSION. The evening session began with a discussion of the place for holding the next meeting. No conclusion was reached in the matter, but Chicago seemed to be the favorite of the con- vention. Mrs. Eliza Orchard Conner m: an address on “Woman and the church.” e described the heartlessness of formal religion and said that in her opinion professing Christians were the wickedest of all people. She made a fierce attack on the church and her tirade seemed to give the greatest satisfaction to her audience. Mrs. Josephine Cables Aldrich gave a talk on | the subject of “Harmonious work,” in which | she disenssed the condition of women, the church and a number of various other things. She was followed by Miss Valtairin de Cleyre, the poet of the convention, who indulged in a deep and scholarly dissertation on ‘Lhe posi tion of woman in the present crisis.” Her re- marks were a decided revolt, not only against the union of church and state but against the actuating authority that lies back of both of them as well, Miss Susan H. Wixon then, by request, reread her poem of the morning, entitled “When Womanhood Awakes.” Mrs. Gage delivered the closing address of the evening on the “Scientific basis of immor- ality,” and at its conclusion the convention was declared adjourned. —— THE LAST OF JONES, He Was Maimed by a Railroad Train and Killed by a Dirt Cart. Gage and A fatal accident occurred at the work house yesterday. Wm. H. Jones alias “Peg Leg” Jones was the victim and his remains are now in the dead house. “Peg Leg” Jones was a colored mau about fifty years old, who, for a number of years past, has made his home on the farm. Several years agohe met with an accident while crossing the Baltimore and Po- tomae railroad track in front of a train. He was unable to get across the track before the train reached him and his leg was cut off. After he recovered he secured Mr. Carrington as his counsel to enter suit against the railroad company and a verdict of 22,000 dam- ages was returned. ‘The railroad com- pany appesled the case and Mr. Carrington secured a compromise from the railroad company for more than half the amount of the verdict. Knowing that the rail- road had a better case than Jones Mr. Carring- ton urged him to accept the compromise offered, but his friends, ignorant of the law, persuad: him that his counsel wanted to make the differ- ence. He thereupon refused to accept the terms of the compromise and wanted the case settled in court. A few weeks later the case was settled and poor Jones was left out in the cold. From that time Jones seemed to lose his mind and has lived at the expense of the Dis- trict most of the time since. When arraigned in court Joues’ plea was always: “T'se always guilty of everything you say.” Yesterday afternoon Jones was at work on the farm and when a load of dirst was dumped the cart or dirt landed on Jones and damaged his wooden leg. It also fractured his sku!l and caused his death, His body is held for friends to claim it and unless that is done the inter- ment will be made in potter's field. paakishaeeas!

To the Editor of Tae EvENtNo Stan: It wou!d seem on the surface that the case of Deil Wild. the soldier who was first insulted and then condemned by Lieut. Steele, has been developed at a most opportune time, as it may turn a little light on some of the causes for such wholesale desertious in our army. If the public will watch the result of the court-martial appointed to try Lieut, Steele it will be still further enligitened by the strained quality of mercy which is visited upon an officer aud the kind meted out to a private soldier. It is a well-known fact that soldiers who have refused to do a scullion’s work in officers’ kitchens and declined to black the shoes of the autocrat’s family have been condemned to sleep | upon the bare tloor of the guard-house and | have only bread and water for a month. Is | this a republieen form of government in its broadest sense? In monarchial England a powder monkey can rise to be “a ruter of the een’s navee” and a private soldier may win the baton of a ficld marshal, The late war broke down some of the barriers to advance- ment inthe army, But our gallant “‘biue- jackets” are barred out from the quarter-deck, no matter what deeds of daring they may do.

How It is Proposed to Commemorate Columbus’ Discovery in This City. The executive committee of the Washington board of promotion held a meeting last even- ing and adopted resolutions, which recited: “That while we heartily favor a world’s fair in the city of Chicago, which has been chosen by the representatives of the American people for that purpose, we respectfully recommend the incorporation of the following provisions in the bill to carry that decision into effect: “See. 1. That an international celebration be held at the national capital in 1892 in commem- oration of the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Co- lumbus, and that the President of the United States appoint a governmental commussion of ten members, in equal numbers from each of the two principal political parties, to formulate perintend the execution of a plan for celebration, “Sec. 2. That plan shall include: The en- largement of the national museum into a Three- Americas’ museum, to remain as a memorial building in commemoration of that great his- torical event, and as a repository of the an- tiquities and history of the western hemis- phere; a memorial bridge across the Potomac to commemorate the formation and_perpetua- tion of the Union; a statue of Christopher Columbus, to be unveiled with appropriate ceremonies on the 12th of October, 1892. “Sec. 3.

Col. A. D. Anderson, the secretary of the national board of promotion, in speaking this morning toa Star reporter of the action of the executive committee of the board last evening asking Congress to provide for a suitable com- memoration of the discovery of America in this ¥, said that it meant that the board intended “to co-operate heartily in making the fair at Chicago a success worthy of the nation; that after fonr years of earnest advocac movement for this city we are the I: who would throw cold water upon the city that has won in this memorable contest. We are for the fair wherever held and for the Colum- bus celebration at the national capital, The resolutions adopted by this board last night clearly and fully state our position.” Col.

To the Editor of Tue EvENING Star: It may not be generally known that the present year is the first centennial anniversary of the “establishment of the permanent seat (of the government of the United States) on the banks of the Potomac,” The act of Con- gress providing for this establishment was passed ou the 16th day of July, 1790. A planot the city of Washington, projected agreeable to the direction of the President of the United States, was prepared by Peter Charles L’Ea- fant and acopy of this plan is now on exhibi- tion in the lecture hall of the national maseum, In this plan provision was made tor the assignment to each religious body of a parcel of land upon which places of worship might be erected. Another plot of ground was set aside for the construction of a national eburch building, which should be used on all national occasions for thanksgiving services, funeral orations and ovher purposes, It was to be assigned to no particular sect, but equaily open to all religious denominations, Fifteen squares of ground were to be assigned to the several states in the Union. In the center of each square might be placed obelisks, statues, columns and otier ornaments for the purpose of perpetuating “not only the memory of such individuals whose counsels or military achiev- ments were conspicuous in giving liberty and independence to this couutry, but also to those whose usefulness hath rendered them worthy of general imitation.” * * * The act already referred to may be found on page 130 of vol. 1 of the United Statutes at Large (Firat Congress, second session, chap. xviil). it comprises six sections and is entitled “An act for establishing the temporary and perma- nent seat of the government of the United States,” Section 1 provides that the perma- neut seat of government shall occupy a dis- trict of territory not exceeding ten miles Square, to be located as hereafter directed on the river Potomac at some place between the mouths of the Eascern Branch and Connogo- cheque, Section 2 authorizes the President of the United States to appoint three commission- ers to survey and detine the limita of the dis- trict and further orders that the district so de- fined shall become the permanent seat of the government of the United * Section 3 ee eg ee RE ORS ee enacts that the Commissioners shall have power to purchase or acceptiand within the said dis- tric. for the use of the United States, sub- ject to the approval ot the — Presi- dent of the Phitea States: and the Commissioners are ordered tw provide suitable buildings for the accommodation of Congress and of the President and for the pub- lic offices of the government of the United States prior to the first Monday in December, 1800, Section 4 authorizes the Presideut of the United States to accept grants of money to defray the expense of purchases and of erect- ng buildings, Section 5 enacts that until the irst Monday in December, i800, the seat of | government shall be in Plilade!phia, and see- ton 6 provides that on the first Monday in De- cember, 1800, the seat of goverument shall be transferred to the district aforesaid, These facts may be interesting to some readers of The Stak. Perhaps the event may also be con- sidered of suiticient importance to warrant setting apart the 16th of July in this year as a special day, commemorative of the passage of e act, BLG. GEORGETOWN.

Jimmy Keenan Knocks Out Johnnie Monahan Near Annapolis. About dark last night Jimmy Keenan and Johnnie Monahan, the Baltimore light weights, met on the banks of the Severn, near Annapo- lis, after having been prevented by the marines from fighting onthe government farm, and, surrounded by a score of spectators, fought to a finish in three rounds for 2150. Monahan’s weight was 135 pounds and his height 5 feet 8 inches. Keenan weighed 132 pounds and is 5 feet 6 inches tall. Keenan was the favorite, with no bets taken against him, Both men wore three-ounce gloves and sparred cantionsly in the first round, which ended in three minutes, with no advantage to either. ‘The second round was more viciously fought. Both men clinched and banged each other at short quarters, Monahan was knocked down, The last ronnd was desperately fought, and claims of foul were made by Monahan’s back but were not allowed. Monahan was ag: knocked down and at the end of the round he said le had enough, The purse was awarded to Keenan, Monahan was not badly hurt, Steps have been taken for the arrest of the principals, —— Hawes?

It is alleged that he drove the vehicle in which the bodies of Mrs. Hawes and her daughter Irene were conveyed to thelake. Roebuck left town when Hawes was arrested, but returned Monday.
