Dr. Milburn, the chaplain of the House, was one of the callers today, but was unable to see Mr. Randall, as at this time he was uncon- scious from the opiates which had been ad- ministered. é Mr. Randall has not for two weeks been without fever. He takes his nourishment well. Late thi noon there was no change wor- thy of note in his condition, Ms Aas Bee WHAT KILLED HIM? Was it Heart Disease or a Piece of Beef in His Throat?—A Curious Pension Case. Ten years ago man while eating dinner at a hotel in Erie, Pa., suddenly fell over dead. The coroner's jury found that the cause of death was strangulation from a piece of roast beef. His widow, Mrs. Charles L. Pierce, made an application for a pension, alleg- ing that the amputation of his leg, caused by a gun shot wound received in the late war, produced neuralgia,resulting in heart disease and his death. The Commissioner of Pensions ruled that the cause of death as shown by the action of the coroner's jury, had no connection with any disability due to his mili- tary service and rejected the claim. Since then, however, ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE HAS BEEN PRESENTED, including a statement signed by all the mem- bers of the coroner's jury that they believed that they erred m their verdict and that the death was due to pre-existing conditions of heart disease, Affidavits were submitted by physicians to the same effect, but all this aid not cause the Commissioner of Pensions to change his mind, Assistant Secretary Bussey, however, finds that the weight of the evidence is largely in favor of the theory of heart disease as the cause of death, and that this condition of his heart was due to the loss of the leg. He there- fore directs a pension to issue and the widow, who is a resident of Erie, Pa., will receive #17 per month, dating back to January 11, 1880, and each of the five minor children will re- ceive $2 per month from the same date.

Let us sum up the conclusions of this paper 1. The desire of food has passed the stage of gluttony and become in Europe and America only a subordinate branch of general luxury. 2. Sexual love has undergone a glorifying transformation from a universal brute instinct to ay commonly) an exalting ideal passion, 8. Indolence has given way to almost feverish activity. 4. Hatred has diminished in fre- quency and intensity, and revenge has become obsolete. Anger is perhaps more often self controlled, 5. Sympathy with suffering hag vastly increased and largely displaced hetero- wathy and aversion. 6. Wholesale indignation ee waned disastrously and remorse has disap- peared. 7. Avarice bas almost died out and given place to acquisitiveness and covetous- ness, often united with prodigality, aud giv- ing rise to a gigantic extension of the vice of gambling. 8, The desire of fame has degen- erated into the love of notoriety. 9. The love of natural beauty, especially of the wilder sort, has been born, and has become a large factor in modern enjoyment, 10. Humor is more common, more refined and more prized. 11. Men and women have become almost nomadic in their habits, so perpetual their removals and journeys, 12. The minds of men have be- come infinitely more subtle, their emotions more varied, more complex, more rarefied in every way; thereby new dangers of duplicity are in- curred, and at the same time the capacity for high emotional and intellectual pleasures is enlarged, _ OOo Counterfeiters Arrested, The chief of the secret service is informed of the arrest by that service at Denver, Col., of George Ammons and William Dorrell for pass- ing counterfeit $10 national bank notes of Richmond, Ind., and were held for the United States grand jury.

He gave the following formula, which can be tried by any one: Take the last two figures of the year, add a quarter of this, disregarding the fraction; add the date of the month and to this add the fig- ure in the following list, one figure standing for each month, 3-6-6-2-4-0-2-5-1. 1, Divide the sum by seven and the remainder will give the number of the day in the week, aud when there is no remainder the day will be Saturday. Asan example, take today, March 19, 1890. Take 90, add 22, add 19, add 6. This gives 187, which divided by 7 leaves # remainder of 4, which is the number of the day, or Wednesday, George W.

In the House today, after the report in the first edition closed, Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) offered an amendment to the naval appropriation bill permitting the Secretary of the Navy to have one of the new vessels built at the League Island navy yard. Ruled out on a point of order. Mr. McAdoo of New Jersey denied that the naval question was as between cruisers and battle ships, but between high and low free vessels, and he favored the low free- board type. The gentleman from Kansas had left him no choice as to type, but obliged him to vote for or against any navy. The better shi of the bill were coast defense ships. He would not give one cent for a 10,000-ton ship which could not enter our harbors, 1812 axp 1890, The gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Oates) had declared that we would make @ province of the nation that destroyed New York i and in answer to the sug- ition that the British had de stroyed this capitol, and yet England was not a Province, had said that we were not the people we were in 1812. Why the gentleman did net know that we were @ greater naval power in 1812 than we are at present. It only took five months to build a war vessel in 1812, It. takes five years now. We could not avenge ourselves. He was with the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Peters) so far as his objec- tion concerned a great standing army. But if he believed that any considerable body of our people, north, south or west, objected to the protection of our coast, he counted with- out his host. Mr. Cannon (IIL) said that he did not know much about the navy, but he wished to make @ few remarks about the bill. Mr. Rogers (Ark.)—Tnen they ough+ to be good ones, [Laughter.] WHAT MR, CANNON ENOWS. Mr. Cannon, continuing, said that, neverthe- less, he began to suspect that he knew as much asthe experts on the floor. He had watched naval progress and feared that those ships pro- posed to be built would become obsolete before completion. He believed in a small, compact and powerful navy, including the best type of vessels. But the Navy department had reported that the Maine and eon now building, would never be duplicated. TOMORROW'S REVIEW. The President as Reviewing Officer—A Parade on the Avenue. At the review of the regular troops and the District National Guard,to be held in the White Lot at 8:30 o'clock tomorrow, for the especial benefit of the delegates to the Pan-American Conference there will be little room for the = public in the White Lot, Nearly all the space will be kept clear for the movements of the troops and of the reviewing party. ‘An arrangement was made today, however, for aparade after the review, by which the public will have full opportunity to see the troops, At the close of the review, which, it is bee! piper will end about 5 o'clock, the troops will move out of the White Lot by way of 17th street to Pennsylvania avenue and hence march by way of Pennsylvania avenue and 15th street to 41g street, where the troops will be dis- missed. TO BE REVIEWED BY THE PRESIDENT. President Harrison will be the reviewing officer, and he will be supported by the mem- bers of his cabinet and the delegates to the international conference. This will be the first time since the war that a Presi- dent of the United States has officially re- viewed troops. On a great many oc- casions Presidents have reviewed street parades but since Abraham Lincoln watched the war- worn veterans tramp past him for three days no President has acted officially as commander- in-chief at a formal military ceremony. GEN. ORDWAY'S ORDERS. Gen. Ordway’s order to the National Guard calls for assembling on the north side of Penn- sylvania avenue, the right resting at 17th street (not 7th street) at 3:30 o'clock.

The Southeastern Tariff Association of Insur- ance Men opened its second day’s session at 10 o’clock this morning. The committees on gen- eral business and on the president's address and reports of officers made reports which, after some discussion, were adopted, and about 1 o'clock # recess was taken. The association has accepted = an_invi- tation from the Washington board of under- writers, extended them through Hon. Simon Wolf, to visit Scheutzen Park at 5 o'clock this afternoon and most of the representatives in the city will go. Another session will be held after returning from the park and a final ad- journment will be reached tonight or tomorrow. ge UNIQUE TIMBER-CUTTING. Some Persons Propose a Wire Heated by Electricity. From the Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette, David J. Evans, lumber dealer, of this city, speaking with reference to the rumor that a syndicate of Pittsburg capitalists had pur- chased the pine lumber on five thousand acres near Johustown and that the trees were to be felled by electricity, said: “I was not aware that there was such a large quantity of pine in one tract in that vicinit: He considered the whole scheme, if any existed, a visionary one and doubted very much that any Ssuch§ syndi- cate was.in existence. With regard to the fell- ing of trees by electricity Mr. Evans said: “I have for some time regarded such a plan as feasible and also thought that the same sys- tem could be adopted in sawing the timber into boards. My idea was to charge a wire with the electric current until it reached a white heat and while in that state this wire could take the place of the circular saw and be made to pass through the saw log. It could also be used to saw boards into aug required sizes, If an invention of this kind proved a success and was put in operation in our saw mills it would result in great saving of mater- ial, would reduce the cost of operation and would do with the annoyance and ac- cumulation of sawdust.” . P. Dunn of Boston, the Pittsburg elec- trician of the Thompson-Houston Company, when asked subsequently to give an opinion on the feasibi of the system suggested by Mr. Evans, sai “The felling of trees wd this means can be successfully accomp! A communication on this subject recently appeared in one of the electric journals. So that portion of the sub- ject is not Foler haened new. The other sugges- tion made by Mr. Evans bears the ear-marks of originality. If put into practice it would prove a mechanical success and would prove quite an innovation in the lumber business, It would save time and money. But the scheme has one drawback, which might, however, be overcome, The wood would be charred by its contact with the hot wire, and consequently the be disfigured to some extent. This might be overcome, however, and then the plan log- would work excellently.

Inspector Block Thinks It Would be Well to Revise the Existing Law. The Commissioners have received through Maj. Moore a statement written by Officer Block, who performs the duties of inspector of pawn shops, respecting the operation of the Present law regulating pawn shops and the pro- visions of the bill now pending in the House, drawn and introduced at the suggestion cf the police de- partment, Mr. Block writes: “When the law of the Fiftieth Congress went into effect, reducing the rate of interest permitted to be charged from five to two per centum per month, all the pawn brokers, with » single ex- ception, went out of the business, I have care- fully examined the books and records of the broker who continued in business and whom I bave known for many years as 8 reliable and law-abiding citizen, and it appears from his books that since the passege of the law he has not been able to pay nis expenses out of his business and has an- Bounced his intention of retiring from it when his license expires, nor do [ think he would wait until then were it not that it is believed that the bill now under consideration will become the law. There is notacity in the United States where the interest on pawns lowas the law passed last Congress makes it for this District, and I think the rates adopted in the state of New York are the most equitaple, be- ing 30 per cent on loans under $100 and 18 per cent over that sum per annum. _ “It was said last session, when the bill reduc- ing the percentage was under consideration, that the pawn business at 2 per cent per month would be profitable; that capital would come in and do business under the law; but experience has proven otherwise, and I know of instances of persons com- ing to this city for the purpose of doing a i, broker business, but after in- vestigaton have concluded not to do so, solely because under the present law it cannot be eapeg é carried on. It would seem, there- fore, to have resolved itself into the question whether Congress will amend the law or do away with pawn brokers altogether.” Mr. Block states that in the past the pawn brokers have materially aided the police de- partment in the pursuit of crimin: nd the recovery of property. may not be generally known,” he says, at most pawnbrokers’ loans ure under €10. Nine-tenths of the loans are under €30 and very many of themare under $5. I do not think that they would average $10. In making such a loan, under the present law, the broker gets but 20 cents to remunerate him for the loan, lia- bility of loss if it turns out to have been stolen, and for the storage and damage to the artic throngh fire or other causes. In addition to this it costs them considerable to comply with the police regulation: District Cases In the Criminal Court yesterday afternoon the case of Jas. D. Donnelly for keeping an un- licensed bar in February, 1887, was ended by a verdict of not gnilty. The next case was against the same party for keeping bis bar open on Sunday and he was acquitted. In the case in which he was convicted a motion for a new trial was filed. In the case of Isaac Schinberg, unlicensed junk dealer, the recognizance was forfeited, is morning, in the case of Charles Gray, charged with carrying concealed weapons, the recognizance was forteited, and it was overruled. Testimony was given as to defendant breaking apen a door on October 18 last; that he had been living at the house three or four months, but had moved out two veeks before, leaving a few things in the room, which his mother sent to him. Mra. Marian Esselman testified that the rent expired Octo- ber 15 and on the 18th she took away the things—a table and other articles—and de- fendant subsequently burst in the door. ‘The defense made the point that the charge was “without the consent of the owner” and this had not been proved. The court ruled that it was sufficient to show that the persbn in rightful possession had not given consen:, The defendant testified that he had lived in the house and paid his rent in advance; that he left because Mra, E. borrowed his wife's wed- ding dress, which she had pawned, and he got it; that she borrowed a number of other arti- cles, He then moved to 96 Myrtle street. but did not give up possession; that she moved the things out, and when he found this he went to the house and at his father’s advice, after ring- ing the bell three times, broke in the door, which he found had been nailed up.’ He bad paid his rent to the 15th, besides the $3 in redeeming the wedding dtess, He had not received any notice from her to vacate, Mrs. White testified that defendant rang the bell two or three times and his father told him to break in the door. Edward Devlin, sr., testified that he went with his son to the house, and after the door had been tried and the bell rung three times he told his son to burst it in, aud he did so; that they went upstairs and found the locks broken, After argument the chief justice charged the jury if they found that defendant had not ten- dered rent after October 15, had given no- tice of his intention to vacate, and did not occupy the premises after the 15th the defendant would not be justified in breaking in the door, The jury found a verdict of guilty and notice of motion for new trial was given. ——->_— The Prosperous Star.

Tue New Barpor.— King street was originally crossed by three streams—one at Pitt street, another at Henry street and the third beyond town limits at the slaughter houses. As carly as 1766 the Pitt street run was filled at King street by an embankment. About 1816, popu- lation havirg reached Henry street, the stream there was covered over and led across the town bys tunnel or culvert.
