Lat Tans The Si The Blythe Will Case. San Francisco, April 12.—Evidence was closed in the celebrated Blythe will case yester- day. The contest was begun for a $4,000,000 estate on the 15th of July, and yesterday was the one hundred and seventy-eighth day of ual trial. The strongest case has been made by Florence Blythe, a fifteen-year-old girl, whose mother was seduced by old Blythe on one of his visits to Engiand. He acknowiedged the girl as his daughter and corresponded with her, but did not adopt her according to the California law. The other chief claimant is Alice E, Dickinson, who claims to have been married to Blythe by verbal contract, but who only proved that she was his mistress, One of the best cases has been made by what are known as the Gypsy Blythes of Kentucky, who trace their descent from Betty Bavage, who married Blythe's father. As counsel for each of the claimants will be given a chanee for ar- gument they will consume fully # month or more. lie Lively Times iu the Pit. Cuicaco, April 12.—The provision pit on the Board of Trade which has been almost deserted for several weeks, owing to the dullness in hog products, has Been filled since the opening of the board this morning with a frantic crowd of yellin dealers. As soon as the board opene it became rumored that there was a corner In pork in contemplation and a wild scramble of “shorts” to cover followed, while, on the other hand, the men supposed to represent the syn- dicate engaged in running the corner took all that was offered.

Having Nearly Recovered From His Wounds He is Sent to Jail. Greatly to the surprise of the police authori- ties they were today informed that George Carter alias “Black Tom,” the colored burg- lar, who was shot on Sunday night, March 23, by the Chinaman, Lee Quong, at No. 313 Pennsylvania avenue, bad,so far re- covered as to admit of his removal from the Freedman’s Hospital. The sixth precinct patrol wagon was-sent for him and he spent last night in that station, and this morning he was brought to police headquarters, where his description was taken, and he was photographed for the rogue's gallery. He was then taken to the Police Court, where he plead guilty and was committed to jail in de- fault of $1,000 bail to await the action of the grand jury. The two balls which entered Carter's back are still in his body and he appears to be very weak. He says that the effect of the shooting has been to leave him with a shortness of breath. it will be remembered that the Chinaman was awakened by ing some one in his laundry; that he fired at the intruder, and that Carter was wounded. It was subsequently stated that Carter had robbed several other Chinese laundries the night he was shot, WAITING FOR THE END, Mr. Randall Near Death—His His Bedside, Mr, Randall's condition up to 2 o'clock today can be summed up tersely in the words of the attending physician, Dr. Mallon: “Mr. Randall may die as we are talking, and he may live during the day.” Constantly growing weaker, yet still able to rally and retaining a remarkable hold on life, Mr. Randall's long fight for life still continues, Last night was a fearfully trying one for the anxious attendants at the bedside. Between 2 and 3 o'clock the patient seemed to be sinking rapidly and death was expected at any moment, About daybreak, however, a wonderful rally came and the immediate danger was warded off. Since then the condition of the patient has been prac- tically unchanged, although every hour shows the dying man to be in a ker condition. He is still ly conscious take nourishment. Ever; all hope of Mr. Randall's living = ‘ort time, and members —— Heer ot ‘eseutatives are expecting the ings of Bis death every tement. The callers have been numerous at Mr. Ran- dail’s house today, although no one has been admitted to the sick room. Secretary Blaine bas been a daily caller, and this morning the Vice President was among the anxious friends who sought for in- formation at the little house on Capitol Hill, Mrs, Randall and her daughters are almost worn out by the constant vigil, but with unwavering courage they still retain their posts at the bedside, without hope, but con- stant in their efforts to smooth the last hours of a beloved life, President Harrison calls every evening or sends to inquire after the sick man and keeps ‘the sick room well supplied with choice flowers from the White House conservatory. 3:15 p.m.—There was no change in Mr. Ran- dall’s condition at this hour, prison tae THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, The Commissioners Against the George- town Railway Company’s Project. The House District committee today received from the Commissioners their report on the Froposed extension of the charter of the Georgetown Barge. Dock, Elevator and Railway Company. The bill, as printed in Tue Star, allows the company to extend their line from the present terminus, along the river front and connecting with the Pennsylvania system at the Long bridge. The Commissioners do not seem to take to the idea, as they say: “As the road will be a steam railway,and as its line takes possession of certain streets and passes through what is pro- posed for a public reservation or park, they aro of opinion that the bill should not pass.” NEXT MONDAY DISTRICT DAY IN THE HOUSE. Next Monday will see the debate on the Rock Creek or Columbus Park bill resumed in the House, as the District will have possession of the day and the Columbus Park is the unfin- ished business. At the last session the bill was taken up by section for amendment, but only two sections were reached when dilatory amendments prevailed. Thero is very little question in the minds of the friends of the measure but that the bill will pass, ROOM FOR THE WAGON ROAD. Senator Gorman this morning came to the defense of the wagon roads that radiate from this city, The bill under consideration was the one which authorizes the Brightwood Railroad Company to build a branch line to Takoma Park. Mr. Gorman said he wanted the bill amended s0 as to provide that the company shall not crowd the tarmers off the narrow road that runs from 7th street road to Takoma. He thought some such amendment was necessary, because, he said, the Tenleytown Railroad Company had monopo- lized the Tenleytown road by permission of the District Commissioners, He was not satisfied to leave this matter to the judgment of those officials. The bill went over for a few minutes while Senator Gorman drafted an amendment, which wiil give the farmer at least 30 feet of clenr roadway alongside the proposed exten- sion. ‘The amendment was agreed to by Senator Harris, who was in charge of the bill, and the bill was passed. LAW BOOKS FOR HOWARD UNIVERSITY., Senator Evarts, from the committee on the library, today reported the resolution granting to the law department of Howard University duplicate copies of all law books in the govern- ment libraries, and providing that copies of all new law books purchased by the government for public use be also sent to the Howard University. The resolution was adopted. THE SILVER QUESTION. Secretary Windom Before the House Republican Caucus Committee. The republican caucus committeee having under consideration the questions of legisla- tion on the silver question had another meet- ing today, The whole subject was thoroughly discussed with a view of arriving at some com- mon ground upon which all can stand. It is not expected that a vote will be taken onany proposition today, but that another meeting will be held before the meeting of the republican caucus Monday night. Secretary Windom was before the committee today by invitation. SECRETARY WINDOM’S POSITION. Secretary Windom remained with the com- mittee about two hours and engaged in the dis- cussion. He was not disposed toinsist upon the terms of his original bill,but expressed himself as willing to accept the terms of the measure reported by the House committee. The ses- sion of the committee lasted until 2 o’clock and then an adjournment was taken until Monday morning. No vote was taken on any propo- sition and no conclusion has been reached, The entire time was consumed in discussion, POSITION OF THE SILVER MEN. The delay in arriving at an agreement appears to be caused by the insistence of the extreme silver men upon absolute free coinage, The conservative element favors the House committee bill, and there is a leaven of restrictive feeling at work, A section of the House bill which is par- ticularly attacked by the silver men, is that making the Treasury notes issued in payment for bullion redeemable in bullion. ‘They agreed this morning that the effect of this section would be to pile up bullion in the Treasury and to give some war- rant for the demand of a radical farmer's element for great government ware hauses in which their agricultural products may be stored and government notes issued thereon, They want the Treasury notes redeemed in lawful money, which may be pro- cured by coining the bullion purchased, THE CABLE CARS STARTED. The First Trip Made at Noon Today. At noon today the 7th street cable Vine started four sections of three cars = each, and they have been running all the afternoon with entire satisfac- tion, At present they can run no faster than the horse cars still on the line, but will eventually make the round trip from the boundary to the wharf in fifty minutes, WHOLESALE IMPROVEMENTS. The Comprehensive Bill Introduced by Senator Stewart Today. Wholesale improvements are provided for by the bill which Senator Stewart introduced to- day. The bill insists, in the first place, on the extension of the 17th street covered sewer to the Potomac; a drainage basin is to be constructed at the western end of the sewer; & stone wall or dyke is to be built from the high lands near the Naval Observa- tory along the western edge of the Potomac flats to the eastern side of the Arsenal grounds —not less than 8 feet wide at the top and 12 feet higher than the highest known flood line. The fourth section provides for a single span steel arched bridge over the Potomac from Fort Myer to the naval ob- servatory, the bridge to have double rail- way, wagon and pedestrian thoroughfares. ‘The fifth section provides for a railway tunnel from the eastern end of the bridge out New York avenue to North Capitol street, passing the State, War end Navy buildings, and the White House a little to the southward, There pate pcl egg jons at North Capitol Street and at 7th, Sth, 15th and 17th streets.

Family at | A Fatal Stabbing Affray on the Eastern | Elegant Dinner in Honor of Mr. and Mrs. Morton—Pleasant Receptions. A HOMICIDE IN SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON Last} The Postmaster General and Mrs, Wanamaker NIGHT—ILL-FRELING OVER A YOUNG WOMAN SAID TO BE THE CAUSE—THE MAN WHO DID THE STABBING SAYS HE DID XOT MEAN TO KILL. The new Pennsylvania avenue bridge, cross- ing the Eastern branch, was the scene of a tragedy lastevening. Murray Casseen, a young man who lived in a small frame shanty near 14th and L streets southeast, was the victim. Casseen died from the effects of knife wounds inflicted by Charles Thompson, an eighteen- year-old boy, who is in the custody ofthe police. : The fatal meeting was the result of ill-feeling about a girl named Ada Young, whose home is at 9th and I streets southeast. Charlie Lynch ‘and Ada Young are cousins and Casseen and Lynch had been companions for some time past. They were together last night when Thompson and a party of friends came along near 14th and K streets southeast. Ada Young was with Thompson, and Julia Thompson, the young man’s sister, was with a young man named Charles Bradshaw. THE ENCOUNTER. As to how the meeting came about state- ments differ. Friends of Casseen and Lynch claim that the two girls came after them, while the men—Thompson and Bradshaw—waited on K street for them. However the meeting oc- curred there were eight persons on the bridge at the time. It was about 8:30 o'clock when the wounds were inflicted. Although they proved fatal een was uble to walk a mile to a doctor's office to have them dressed, There were two serious wounds in his back and a slight one in his left leg, from which there was a free flow of blood. There was quite a large pool of blood on the bridge this morning. 3 a and his companions continued across the bridge after the encounter, not ex- pecting to again hear of the trouble, and Ada Young remained with Julia Thompson all Ae ‘adshaw borrowed the knife from Thomp- son and brought it home with him to the city last night. Itis an ordinary :penknife with a sharp blade not more than two inches in length, HE WALKED A LONG WAY. Tho injured man walked to the office of Dr. Parker, corner of 8th and:E streets southeast, where the wounds were dressed. He was then assisted to his home by his companions and Mr. John Clark, who resides in the doctor's house, He was very weak from loss of blood when he reached home and he fell to the floor in a faint. He was placed in bed and made as comfortable as possible and he soon recovered from his fainting ie and rested easier until about midnight, when a change for the worse Was noticeable and the doctor was sent for, who arrived at the house shortly before 2 o'clock and had not been there more than five min- utes when Casseen breathed his last. THE VICTIM OF THE HOMICIDE, Casseen was 19 years old and was a painter by trade. He came here from Alexandria county, Va., where his father now is, His mother was at his bedside from the time he reached home until he died, and she was completely overcome with gricf at his death. The young man was her chief res 4 pee ‘the police of the fifth precinct heard of the affair, but it was some time before they could learn detinitely who did the stabbing, THOMPSON ARRESTED. While Sergeant Mulhall and Officers Jones and Auguste were investigating the case this morning Sergeant McCathran and Policeman Kirby of Anacostia arrested Thompson at his home in the county. Officer Jones was on his way to the house at the time and the other officers turned the prisoner over to him. He was taken to the fifth precinct station in East Washington and locked up. WHAT THE PRISONER SAID, Thompson thought that 95 collateral would secure his release, When locked up he seemed to regard the affair asa joke more thana se- rious case involving human life. Although he gave his age as eighteen years he seems two or three years younger. He did not believe that Casseen was dead. “Why, how can he be dead?” he asked; “you couldn't kill anybody with that little knife, aud, anyhow, I didn’t try to kill or hurt him ca 2 “What was the cause of the trouble?” the boy was asked. “Oh, nothing; but they were jealous because I was with Ada Young.” He said that Thomas Bradshaw was with his (Thompson's) sister Julia and he (the prisoner) was with Ada Young. They were going over the bridge to his house, and were near 14th and K streets when they mct Charles Lynch and Murray Casseen, ‘Lhe latter called to them and wanted to fight, but Thompson says he declined to enter into a fight and with his three companions he con- tinued along toward the Bridge. Lynch and Casseen, he said, followed them, and Casseen made use of some vile epithet concerning Ada Young. When they reached the bridge he said that there were three more persons with Lynch and Casseen and one of their number threwastone. He asked who threw the stone, but received no response, and feeling satisfied that they were going to’ be assaulted he told Ada thut he did not know what they might do and he drew the knife from his pocket, HE USED THE KNIFE. Presently, Thompson said, Lynch, Casseen and the others overtook them and Casseen asked him: “Did you say I was not a gentleman?” ‘Thompson says he responded: “You are not a gentleman if you want to fight where ladies are.” Casseen, he said, applied an insulting epithet to him, whereupon he seized Casseen. ‘Then it was that he used the kuife, but he did not intend to hurt him badly. After the trouble was over, he said, he went home and remained there until the officers arrested him this morn- ing. WITH CASSEEN, The police in looking up the case today learned that Joseph Posey, a boy, and a young man named James Burch were with Casseen and Lynch. It was stated ia “Pipetown,” where Casseen lived, this morning that the trouble dates back several wecks and was the result of his and Lynch's having treated Ada Young rather coolly recently. AN INQUEST TOMORROW. Coroner Patterson viewed the body and will probably had an inquest tomorrow, ——-—_—_ Death of Major Hungerford. Major Philip C. Hungerford died last eyen- ing after a lingering illness of pneumonia.
