CHANGES IN TES PROPOSED ROUTE OF TEE ROCK CARRYING OF WEAPONS —%O RAILROAD ON THE AQUEDUCT BRIDGE. ‘The regular weekly mocting of the Senate District pommittee was held today, those pres- ent being Senators Ingalls (chairman), Farwell, MoMillan, Harris, Veeco, Faulkner and Bar- boug, The committee up the bill to amend the act incorporating the Georgetown Barge, Dock, Elevator and Railroad Company, but laid it on the teble to await s report which will be made thereon by the District Commissioners, Then they referred the bill to incorporate the Subur- ban Railway Company to the Commissioners, ‘TRE BOCK CREEK RAll.war. The bill to change the route of the Rock Creek Railway Company was considered and the route was still further changed very con- siderably, -so that it now stands as follows: Commencing at the intersection of Connecticut and Florida avenues: thence easterly along Florida avenne, formerly known as Boundary atreet, to 18th street; thence northerly along 18th street to Columbia road; thence westerly, crossing Columbia road and extending through the Cliffbourne tract to Rock greek on such Jine as shal be approved by the Commusioners of the District; ‘once crossing Rock creek on a substan elovated iron bridge to be erected by the company at ite own expense < jis is to be a thoroughfare 1 to the public, not less than fifty feet ide including sidewalks); thenee esterly through Woodley Park to « point near Woodley toad in Connecticut avenue ex- tended on such line as shall be approved by the Commissioners; nce northerly along Connecticut avenue extended to the north line of the District; also commencing at, the itersection of 18th and U streets northwest and along U street to 14th street west. The = is authorized to increase its capital stock to $600,000. THE “DEADLY WEAPONS" BILL. Cohsideration waa given Senator Faulkner's bill to punish the carrying or selling of deadly or dangerous weapons within the Dis- trict. The bill characterizes as deadly or dangerous such weapons as daggers, air-guns, peels. bowie-knives, dirk-knives or dirks, iack-jacks, razors, razor blades, sword canes, slung sbots, brass or other metal knuckles. The. bill was amended so that it shall be legal forany one to keepor carry bout his place of business, dwelling house or premises any such weapons, and persons may carry any such weapons from place ot pur- chase, from his dwelling house or place of bus- iness to a repair shop aud back again when tho Weapon needa repairing. A favorable report was then authorized. THE EMERGENCY HOSPITAL. The District Commissioners having recom- mended favorable sction on the bill providing for the erectionofs building for the Central Dispensary and Emergency Hospital, the com- mittee authorized its report and reference to the committee on appropriations, THE CABLE RAILWAY COMPANY. Adverse action was ordered on the bill to in- corporate the Cable Railway Company, and it was afterward indefinitely postponed by the Senate. The bill contemplated running from 15th street and New York avenue to the District line and Connecticut avenue extended, NO RAILROAD ON THE BRIDGE. The committee disposed in a general way of all attempts to run steam or horse or any- other description of railroads across the Aqueduct bridge by deciding with unanimous force that it would never give ite consent to any such use of tho stricture. WATER MAIN ASSESSMENTS, Senator Sherman this afternoon,introduced a bill providing that hereafter all assessments levied for water mains in the District, outside the limits of Washington and Georgetown, shall be at the rate of $1 per lineal front foot, PRESERVATION OF THE PEACE, Senator Faulkner today introduced a bill “for the preservation of the public peace and the protection of property within the District Columbia,” The bill is the remainder of the measure which Senator Faulkner introduced eurly iv the session: *“f'o amend the laws and ordinances The first five sections of the have been made intoa separate measure.

Robert 8. Laws Accused of Fail- ing to Report a Marriage. There was 9 warrant issued from the Police Court this afternoon which was placed in the hands of Detective Raff for service, The name of the Rev. Robert 8. Laws appeared on the legal document as defendant while Frances Murgin’s name appeared as complainant. The Kev. Laws has been pastor of the Virginia Avenue Baptist Church for’ several years and Frances is one of its members. The cause of the issuance of the warrant has slready caused trouble in the eburch. . % ‘THE CHARGE. Frances states that on the 4th day of April, two years ago, the minister married her to Thomas Quivas and gave them a regular cer- tificate of marriage, and that she and Quivas lived together as husband and wife until, for some reason unknown to her, he became tired of her and left her, and that her entreaties were of no avail, for the only reply she received was that they were not mar- ried and be did not have to live with her unle: he so desired. Frances thought they had been legally mar- ried, although she never seen their names in the marriage license notices in the daily papers, COULD FIXD HO RECORD, After the case was discussed in the church Frances set out to take legal steps in the mat- ter. She failed to find their names recorded in the City Hall and so she made complaint to oe yo Swindells yesterday afternoon. law requires ministers to report all mar- riages to the registrar of the health office within forty-eight hours after the time of perform- ing ceremony.

Mr. Noyes spoke for the Board of Trade, He read the report of the Board of Trade on this subject, giving the objections to the bill pro- id railroad making ageections For a eubetimate for the bill He . that if the Pennsylvania railroad was to have all ite a acts condoned by Congress and be the additional facilities desired a condition made should be that concessions should be | pores to the people of the District in the way of protection to life and property. TO ABOLISH SURFACE TRACKS. The road should be required, Mr. Noyes said, by the same act which granted the further concessions they wanted, to sink their tracks and relieve the city of the dangerous grade crossings, If the nfs of the rallroed, which neaae them to come od rs for legislation, were gran’ with- out_ these ‘conditions, the _ people of Washington could not hope for any conces- sions from this corporation, He said that the Board of Trade had examined the bill presented for the railroad and that they had pre substitute proposition, which was not uprea- sonabie in op erg ular, He said that the importance of thiv - mrittatd harmless proposition made by the ennsylvania railroad might be better appre- cone by reference to the past history of the roa WHAT THE ROAD HAS DONE. On account of the want of progressiveness by the Baltimore and Ohio the Pennsylvania road was gladly welcomed when it entered the city and great privileges had been given it. Privileges not given it it had since taken. It had occupied the streets with its sidings, taken possession of public reservations, unloaded its freight on the streets and endangered the lives of citizens with its grade crossings and almost completely cut off one section of the Fy Senator Mor- rill, who weighs his words dnd whose words are weighty, remarked in a speech on the sub- ject in the Senate that this road was the read- jest land grabber and freebooter of the age. He read from Mr. Morrill's speech a statement of illegal acta of the road in taking possession of streets and reservations. CONDONING ILLEGAL SEIZURES, One section of this bill, Mr. Noyes ssid, pro- posed to condone illegal seizures of land and illegal sidings, The company seized the streets and converted them to its own use, eee | them and cutting off South Washington an the river front, Occasionally fire engines were stopped in going to a fire by the engines and freight cara blocking the way, and now and then people were crushed to death at these Gs crossings. The road _ now cai to ‘ongress for concessions, but did not offer in turn to do anything to protect the lives and property of the citizens. If any new grants were to be made to the Pennsylvania railroad, its illegal acts were to be condoned, a pro- vision for the protection of the citizens should go hand in hand with it. & PRETEXT. The road, he said, made one excuse for blockading the public streets with the freight— the most flimsy of all flimey excuses; an ex- case which amounted simply to a plea that because they had been checked in an attempt to do one illegal act they were helpiess. They purchased a small tract of land, to reach which it was necessary to cross 14th street. Injunctions prevented them from constructing this track, in viola- tion of law, and they sat back and said that if they could not lay tracks illegally to reuch this property with thew freight they would continue to block the streets. MIGHT HAVE GONE ANYWHERE. If they could tegally have laid their tracks to reach this property, Mr, Noyes said, they might purchase a square of ground in the west end or alon; side of the Capitol, or where they please and run their tracks through the city along any streets to reach the square, Many of their illegal acts have not been interfered with, for what is every one’s business is no one’s business; but with this principle involved suit had been brought to prevent the laying of tracks across 14th street and the Supreme Court of the United States had decided in favor of the people, pronouncing the claims of the railroad most extraordinary. Mr. Noyes proceeded to go over the career of the road as a law breaker, and said that it now wanted its lawlessness condoned and re- warded without recompense to the public, WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT, ‘What the people of the District had been ap- pealing to Congress for was the removal of surface tracks and the relief of publio parks from the occupancy of the railroad. A special subcommittee, composed of Senators Morrill, Ingalls, Hawley, Vance and Chace, made an investigation of this subject all but Chace and bad recommended practical relief, but the | whole committee had failed to adopt the re- port of the majority of the special com- mittee, After that the railroad had under- taken a flank movement like the present, separating the measures for relief of the people from the concessions tothe road and pressing the latter. The demands of the people, Mr. Noyes said, ere not unreasonable, They want the removal of the ‘‘no thoroughfare” blockades; they want the street crossings to be over tunnels or bridges and where grade —— are necessary they le want gates. Thesame demands are made in other cities and are readily acceded to. He read from President Roberts of the Pennsylvania railroad announc- ing bare pinto in Lfelscareal ge ia—which the peo- le of Washington wanted applied here—favor- ing the doing away with all grade crossings, IX OTHER CITIES, Mr. Noyes said that large sums of money were being expended in carrying out this lib- eral and propor policy in Philadelphia, Har- risburg, &c., and what the Washing- ton people wanted was that the same policy might extend to Washington. Appreci- ating the enterprise and greatness of this cor- = he said he was surprised—amazed at {tw action with regard to Washington. He said the proposition of the Baltimore and Ohio even contrasted widely in liberality with that made by the Pennsylvania road, The Baltimore and Ohio wanted similar concessions and to get them proposed certain concessions in turn to the people. TWO PROPOSITIONS COMPARED. The Senate committee, he said, was now con- sidering the pri jon of the Baltimore and Ohio. It proposed to relieve the eastern sec- tion of the city from fts tracks, and to come in by one street, and to construct bridges at the crossings. ‘This, even, was in great contrast with the Proposition of the Pennsylvania, To get a place for its freight depots, &c., the Baltimore aud Ohio is willing to go to great expense to relieve the people. The Pennsylvania makes no es for the relief of the people, but concessions without recompense, Mr. Noyes said Gat toe were renee seven crossi feshing- ton and that ing the fourteen years fifty-seven eg oe on these crossings, Aside their Q¢ec! pote} Settee aioe ne ae they whnted’o paralil the tracks ef tbe Foam os : ' of the Bouth ‘to have the t to the vacant space in ‘ity of Ist and B streets sonthwest, ebout a square south of Botanical garden.

THE KILLING OF HATTIE CROSS, More Testimony in the Trial of Her Husband for Murder. In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing- ham, the trial of Wm, Douglass Cross, indicted for the murder of his wife, Hattie Cross, in October last, was continued after our report closed yesterday—Assistant District Attorney Lipscomb for the government and Messrs, C, Maurice Smith and Joseph Shillington for the prisoner, The mother of the deceased testified on re- direct examination that her daughter was not in the habit of going out nights; when witness told the prisoner that he was aliar and killed her daughter he replied: "Deed I didn’t do it; she killed herself.” He was excited about it, Ruth Turner, sister of the deceased, aged eleven years, testified that Cross came home Just after dark, about 7:30 o'clock, She cor- %|roborated her mother as to Cross going 0 Swilfeala stairs and her sister going upstairs. to her sister, “If you follow me I'll kill you." Dr. Harrison Crook testified to attending the deceased; that the wound was the cause of death. He examined her carefully for powder marks and found none, nor was her hair burned, The wound was in front of the right ear and ina direction a little below the left ear, but was deflected to the back of the brain. Dr.Ed. M. Schaeffer, deputy coroner, testified to making the autopsy. He corroborated Dr. Crook and also produced the bullet, Witness said he tried the bullet and found it fit the pistol—a 22-caliber ‘‘Defender.” Bnd Nash testified that he picked up the P George Mair testified that on his way home he met a colored couple on the east side of 7th atreet, but could not say who they were. Mr. See said he expected to prove that his wife were quarreling and that threats were bei used, The defense objected because it was not shown that these parties were the deceased and prisoner. Pending decision thereon the court adjourned, TRE TESTIMONY TODAY, The trial was resumed this morning. Officer Benj. T, Henry testified that it was between 7:30 and 7:45 o'clock when he received a tele- phone from police headquarters that some one was shot; went into the patrol wagon at 7th and C streets and as soon us he jumped off the wagon a young man asked if he wanted the pistol and gave it to him; took the woman to the house and some one said: “Go and arrest Will Cross;” witness went to,the corner of &th and E streets and saw two men, one of whom (the defendant) started to walk away as he approuched. Witness called vo him to stop, when he ran toward F street and th ross the street. Witness called ou ru shoot.” Cross then stoppe: asked: “What have I done?” Witness sai ‘ou have shot your wife.” Cross was then groaning and kept it up till he got to the station. After the ex- citement had subsided witness conversed with Cross, who said he went from his home down 8th to D, D to 7th, and toward C street, The woman, when witness found her, was ly- ing near the inner side of the pave- ment on C street, thirty-five or forty feet from 7th street. She was then unconscious, When witness accosted Cross and told him that he had shot his wife, he said, ‘‘No, I didn’t, she shot herself w about the time witness reached the spot astorm came up with a heavy southwest wind,and he did not know if the lights were burning. Witness identified the pistol. Frank Richardson was recalled and testified that he saw no couple passing along 7th street, The lamps were lighted; saw the defendant, but did not see him weeping. Albert Fenwick testified that he was sitting on the steps of Lown’s coffee mill with others when he heard the shot, Did not see a man and woman pass. Frederick M. O'Connell gave similar testimony.

The offer was then renewed to prove the threats heard by Witness Maier asa couple passed him, After some discussion the chief justice reviewed the testimony lending up to this point and overruled the objection to the offer, the defendant noting an exception. ‘The witness, Maier, was recalled and testi- fled that he met s colored man and woman go- ing north; heard the man say: “If you bother me, Pll shoot you aud I'll be d——d if I don't shoot you tonight!” DYING DECLARATION OF HATTIE CRoss. Mrs. Turner, the mother of the deceased, was recalled and was asked if she had a con- versation the morning after the shooting, the object being to give the dying declaration of the decease: Objection was made but was overruled and the witness testified that she urged her daughter to take her medicine, saying she did not want her to die and leave her brothers and sisters with her alone, She replied, ‘You will have plenty left, There's Rufe and Curry, but she took the medicine.” q “Did “ state who shot her?” asked Mr. ipscomb. bjection was made that it should be shown that she was aware of her impending death. Mr. Lipscomb was about to urge bis views when Mr. Smith asked if Mr. Armes had not after this time attempted to get her dying state- ment, Mr. Lipscomb replied that he had, Mr. Smith—Is it not known that Dr. Crook had stated that the woman had never been able mentally of making such statement? ir. Lapscomo—If he has so stated he isa very important witness for you. At this point « recess was taken, After recess Mr. Lipscomb stated that he de- sired the testimony of Dr. Crook as to the con- dition of the woman. Mr, Smith asked Mr. Lipscomb if he believed that after the fatal shot was fired the deceased — mentally capable of making a dying decla- ration, Mr. Lipscomb replied that it was for the court to rale on the testimony and proceeded to read authorities on his offer of proof of the dying declaration. The court overruled the offer. Robert Fenwick was recalled and testified that when he heard the shout he ran over, saw defendant holding a woman in his arms and he asked witness to hold her, ing: “My God, she Witness declining to take held of her he laid her down and ran off in the direction of 8th street. ‘This closed the case for the government, FOR THE DEFENCE, ‘Mr. Smith, for the defendant, said it was ex- pected to show that the parties had lived hap- pily together for two months; that Cross said that he was going tothe Theater ne (Kernan's); thst abe objected.

The storm was then situated on the eastern boundaries of Utah and Colorado. Very high winds accompanied it and every indication pointed to « rousing storm. Word was passed along the line in the bureau, andin = short time the predictions space Was filled with weather experts—Gen. reely, Capt, Allen, the March observer; Capt. Dunwoody, Lieut. Thompeon, the April dictor, and several other officers well Tore’ in the artof forecasting the weather. They put their heads together and concluded that there was DAYGER ARRAD for the regions lying on the eastern side of the storm, which they saw would follow an easterly path until it struck the Alleghanies, when it would move to the northeast. A route was laid out for it om the map, which has been almost —. verified. Warnings were sent to the signal stations in Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and some other states in that region at about 9 o'clock yesterday morning to the effect that there was a severe storm coming, which would probably be ac- companied by violent local disturbances. Thus fully twelve hours before the storm reached Louisville AN UNHEEDED WARNING had been sent out to the ill-fated people. The storm came upon them, it seems, like @ bolt of lightning, but had they attended to the danger it might not have been so much dis- the hypoth by the weather bureau, with the exception of a few miles in the position occupied by it this morning, in the vicinity of the Great Lakes. The extremely high velocities of wind that have marked the ‘eiolence of the storm have abated somewhat, but it is still blowing hard enough, as st, Alien said this morning, to scoop several of the lakes entirely dry. 37s ONLY EFFECT HERE. The storm will pass to the north of us and will bring no effect bere other than a warm dampness for a few hours, followed tomorrow by clear, cold weather, The wind will con- tinue to increase in velocity dur- ing the day, creeping around to the northwest. At Chicago this morning it was blowing fifty- six miles an hour, having gone down from sixty last night. This same rate was noted at Cairo and other places in Llinois, THE STORM SEASON. ‘The storm is not particularly abnormal, Capt. Allen explained, as this is a period when these violent disturbances are liable to occur, It is exceptionally severe, being accompanie: as = nob the case, by | cyclonic storms on ail sides of its center. The main storm covered a rather large area of sev- eral hundred miles, but the path swept by the tornado at Louisville was very narrow. WHAT GEN. GREELY Sars, Gen. Greely said: “Iam generally averse to making cyclonic predictions, It is too much like crying ‘wolf’ and weakens the import of a careful forecast while unnecessarily alarming the people, but yesterday morning it became apparent that a storm of unusual severity was coming and we felt justified in sending out the special warnings, which, as you see, were amply verified. I am anxious to hear the character of the buildings that were destroyed in Louisville. That will form an interesting addition to the information we now have of the nature of these cyclonic stories, The storm has retarded the lowering of the Mississippi floods, as we gave warning it would, and the present outlook is that there will be no reiief from the inunda- tions for at least a week or ten days to come. Beyond that we cannot say anything.” HIGH WINDS. The storm will cause the prevalence of ex- tremely high winds on the Atlantic coast today and tonight, sufficiently severe to render travel on Chesapeake bay uncomfortable and possi- bly dangerous, THE NATIONAL LAW MAKERS.

THE CHINESE CENSUS BILL.

TWO MORE ELFCTION CONTESTS, The House committee on elections passed upon two more election contests today. In the case of Waddell against Wise, third Virginia district, the committee by a party vote decided ‘to recommend the seat- ing of the republican contestant, Waddell. The democratic members of the committee took the ground that neither party was entitled to the seat and will recommend that another election be held, In the second case—McDuffie agt.

He Urges His Bill to Provide A New Way of Appointing Postmasters. Representative Lodge of Magsachusette to- day made argument betore the House commit ‘tee on post offices in favor of his bill to cause the appointment of fourth class postwasters by the Postmaster General upon reports made by the inspectors of the department. He began by stating that the Post Office Department itself was «8 great business institution which should be conducted upon busivess principles, The 57,904 fourth-class postmasters made up, be said, the largest class of public servants, and their funo- tions are purely business functions, requi the qualifications of honesty, character and fair business” capa- city. It has been impossible for the Post- master General to select these numerous and widely-scattered ageuts, so that, by an unwrit- ten but almost inviolate law, they bave been selected by the Congressmen of the party in power for political reasons; business cousiderations being a seo- ondary qualification, Mr. Lodge admitied that the work of fourth-class postmasters had been on the whole well done, but maintained that it might be amproved by a better method of selection, ‘The real evil was, be said, the practice which compelled Congressmen to discharge duties winch they were never intended to perform, The Kansas Republican Association et its regular monthly meeting lastevenmg was ad- dressed by Kepresentative Peters, = sermon It Will be Cold Tonight.
