Bert, May 5.-—-The india rubber manu- facturers of Berlin have advanced prices 20 per cent owing to the enhanced cost of the raw material. The jute makers have formed a com- bination to advance prices. The glass makers’ combination has broken up and the trade is stagnant, partly because of imports from America, The price of bottles, however, has been raised 10 per cent through a coalition of twenty-four manufacturers, A Detective Poisoned. Frxpray, Onto, May 5.—There is a good deal of excitement here over the sudden and mys- terious death of Detective Henry Strickler, who, at the January term of court, succeeded in having indictments found against eight prominent citizens as the principals in the celebrated Oman robbery, which occurred on February 2, 1889. Strickler has been repeat- edly warned to leave the state, but refused to do so. On Saturday morning he was taken suddenly ill and yesterday morning he died in _ agony, with eyery evidence of his having en poisoned. A detective named Lowe, who was first employed on the Oman robbery case, died some time ago very much in the same manner as Strickler, and it is now believed that both men were poisoned. eta aE “Old Hoss’ Paradc.

J. Gray, J. H. McGowan, George O. Glavis, N. W. Burchell and A. J. Curtis. There were no objectors present. Mr. McGowan was the firet to speak. He read the bill and then went into the details, pointing out the needs of such road and its prospective advantages. Mr. A. J. Curtis presented a long petition from the residents and property owners along the line of the road across the branch paying for its construction. The Commissioners, after hear- ing the arguments, promised to bear them in mind before reporting upon the bill, — She Wants a Divorce. Johanna H. Gies, nee Etta H. Seaman, by D W. Glassie, has filed « bill against Edwerd L, Gies for a divorce and an injunction to prevent the disposition of certain property which she claims. She states that po sag name of Etta H.

She charges that two days after the marriage he commenced a course of ill treatment THE LATE SENATOR BECK. Arrangements for the Funeral Ceremo- nies Tomorrow, MEETING OF THE KENTUCKY CONGRESSIONAL DEL- EGATION—APPROPRIATE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED —THE REMAINS TO BE TAKEN TO THE CAPITOL TOMORROW MORNING. In the darkened front parlor of the house of Representative W. C. P. Breckinridge, on East Capitol etreet, lie the remains of the late Sena- tor Beck, The massive frame rests in ® mag- nificent casket and the curly gray head is sup- ported by a silken-covered pillow. On the coffin lies a St. Andrew's cross of orchids and hawthorn, and the land of the Senator's birth— the spot he loved so well—is additionally re- membered by the spray of Scotch heather which adorns a lapel of his coat. Arrangements had been made to have the body removed to the Capitol today, but Mrs. Goodloe will not willingly allow them to be car- ried out. The daughter does not like the idea of her father’s lying all night in the great lonely building. Naturally the committee of arrangements will coincide with the views of Mrs. Goodloe, and the remains will be undisturbed until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. At that time the undertaker will transport the body from its present home to the marble room, and two hours later it will be taken into the Senate chamber. THE ORDER OF CEREMONIES is as follows: The doors of the Senate wing of the Capitol will be open at 11 o'clock to those having tickets of admission. The diplomatic gallery will be reserved for the families of the diplomatic corps (tickets thereto will be de- livered to the Secretary of State for distribu- tion). The families of the President and Vice Prosident will occupy their reserved seats in the east _ gallery, The ladies’ gallery and the east reserved gal. lery will be occupied by the wives of Senators, members of the House of Representatives and of the Chief Justice and associate jus- tices of the Supreme Court. The reporters’ gallery will be reserved exclusively for the re- Porters of the press, and admission thereto will e upon the usual tickets to that gallery. The remaining seats in the galleries will be open, without discrimination, to ail who have general tickets for gallery seats, The Senate being in session the doors of the Senate chamber will be opened at 12:30 o'clock to those who are entitled to admission. The President and cabinet officers will meet in the President's room. The Supreme Court will meet in the Supreme Court room. ‘The diplomatic corps will meet in the marble room. The Vice President's room will be re- served for the tamily and relatives of the de- ceased. The committee of arrangements and the pall bearers will meet in the office of the secretary of the Senate. Seats will be reserved by the sergeant-at-arms for those entitled thereto upon the floor, ia accordance with the above. Atlo'clock promptly, upon the announce- ment of the presiding ‘officer, the clergy will conduct the funeral ceremonies. THE FUNERAL CORTEGE, As soon as the ceremonies are closed the sergeant-at-arms will form and conduct the funeral procesbion in the following order from the Senate chamber to the Baltimore and Po- tomac depot: ‘The clergy; committee of arrangement: composed of Senators Blackburn, Kenn Vance, Harris, Dawes, Manderson and Evarte; the houorary pall bearers, Senators Morrill, Sherman, Allison, Hale, McPher- son, Pugh, Vest and Gibson; the hearse, family and relatives, the Senate, the House of Representatives, officers of the Senate and House of Representatives, invited guests, Capitol policemen will be the active pall bearers, ‘The following have been detailed: Officers Mast, Thomas, Burchfield, Banks, Skeen, Gilbert, Williama and Bumpus. They will be commanded by Capt. Allabach. A SPECIAL CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO TRAIN will be in waiting at the Baltimore and Poto- mac depot. It will consist of a combination baggage and smoking car, in which the re- mains will be placed, and three Pullman cars for the family and committee. The funeral car will be ‘heavily draped im __ black and when the train reaches the Kentucky state line at Huntington, W.Va., the engine will al be covered with somber wrappings.

They are ex Representative Trimble, ex-Representative Phil 4. Thompson, O, O, Stealey, Richard C, Wintersmith, L. Q. Washington and Wm R. Smith. The chair which Senator Beck used to oc- cupy in the conference room is draped with crape today and there is crape on the door- knob also, THE KENTUCKY DELEGATION. ‘The Kentucky delegation in Congress met at 11:30 o'clock this morning to take action re- specting the death of Senator Beck. Repre- sentative Carlisle presided and resolutions drawn and offered by Representative Stone were adopted. ‘The resolutions express sorrow for the death of their friend, colleague and leader, “a wise and safe counselor in the discharge of our public duties;” set forth that Kentucky has lost her greatest statesman and ablest advocate of the principles of government that would promote her prosperity, “tender to his daughter and son our sincere sympathy in this sad affliction, and that as a further mark of respect the Kentucky delegation in Congress will attend his funeral in Lexington, Ky., in a body.” THE HONORARY PALL BEARERS.

Wales, and stated that the primary cause of death was syncope and the secondary cause fatty degeneration of the heart, —_——— ASSESSING WATER RENTS, Col. Robert Wants This Duty Trans- ferred From the Engineer Department. The following letter from Col. Robert to the Commissioners explains itself: “I have the honor to forward herewith a bill to provide for transferring the assessment of water rents and water main taxes from the engineer office to the assessor of the District with the recommended that it be sent to the District committees of the Senate and House with the request that it be passed. It provides that the transfer shall take place at the close of the fis- cal year, as I find it would be impracticable to have it occur earlier. Very soon after my assumption of the duties of Engineer Commissioner 1 became satisfied this transfer should be made as soon a practi- cable. I find that September 17, 1888, a bill was introduced in the House of Representa- tives providing among other things for this transfer, but it failed to pass. It seems to me that a bill containing only this feature and unanimously approved by the Commissioners could be readily passed.” ‘The bill proposed by Col. Robert provides “that from after the 3d day of June, 1890, rents for water and all taxes for water mains in the District of Columbia shall be collected by the collector of taxes of the District, on bills prepared and charges de- termined by the assessor of the District, and by him furnished tothe persons liable therefor. Col. Robert speaking with a Sra reporter of the above said; “The engineer department has such a load to carry already that I feel it my duty to do away with everything that does not | properly belong to them.” I do not think the | assessment feature of the water department belongs to the snpineoe branch of the District government and therefore have recommended its trans fer.” Indicted by the Grand Jury. The grand jury today returned indictments in the Criminal Court against the following: George Brown, larceny from the person; Geo.

The House district committee today received two reports of the Commissioners in regard to railroads in the District. One is the adverse = on the Washington and Western railroad bill, referred to in Tue Star, in which the Commissioners say they do not think any rail- road should be allowed to skirt or otherwise occupy the reclaimed land on the river front. In regard to the Potomac River Railroad Company they think the bill should be altered in several respects, This is a steam rail- road, it will be remembered. d the bill lays down the following route: Beginning a! t on the west line of the District of Colum- ia about 1,200 feet north of the Potomac r and about 2,100 feet west of the Chain Bridge over said Potomac river in the District of Columbia; then eastwardly — parallel with the said Potomac river by the most eligi- ble route, as shall be determined by said com- pany, to a point on Rock creek near the cross- ing of M street, within the city of Georgetown in the District of Columbia, The Commissioners think an addition should be made to the paragraph defining the route, which shall provide that the line shall cross M street at or near 36th street and run thence on a live south of M street and north of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal toa point at or near Potomac street; thence cross- ing the canal and continuing south of the same until 29th street is crossed, with the right to use the line of South street between Sist and 32d streets. All the construction of the road, the Commis- sioners think, should be subject to the approval of the Commissioners and not as provides “un- der the direction of the Commissioners.” ‘The Commissioners also suggest a paragraph compelling the work to be commenced in one year and completed in three years, THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL.

MARY ANN ADDRESSES THE SENATE. Shortly after the Senate adjourned to- day and while a number of Senators were still on the floor Mary Ann Doughert of Cleveland-veto fame proceeded in a maudlin manner to address the assemblage below from the gallery. Only a few incoherent remarks reached the senutorial ears and she soon tired of speechmaking. One or two indistinct references were made to “Cleveland,” but there was uo response. Mary Ann was smewhat intoxicated, to put it mildly. ———— THE CIVIL S$ HEARING. RVICE Close of the Arguments Saturday—Mr. Lyman and the Campbell Case. As stated in Tue Stan Saturday, Mr. Lyman | of the civil service commission spoke for half an hour after Mr. Ewart concluded his address before the committee on civil service, summing up the testimony taken in the civil service in- vestigation. Mr. Lyman, speaking of the pro- motion of Mr. Campbell, presented statistics showing that he was doing an enormous amount of work at the time the promotion was made and had prior to that earned the pro- motion by efficient work. To have retuned to promote him, he said, would have been an un- pardonalile injustice and in violation of the very principles of civil service reform. As to the abstracting of the examination papers he declared with great emphasis that edid not recognize the handwrting of Mr. Campbell when the papers were first called to his attention, and that when he knew who must be effected by the investigation he made no effort to shield his relation, but, on the contrary, urged that the investigation be thor- ough und that the punishment be given to fit the fault discovered, without fear or favor. He had felt that if examination papers were being given out for the benetit of candidates the integrity to the law was as- sailed; he thought it a serious matter and never thought of screening Mr. Campbell. ‘The investigation was made by Mr. Oberly, he believed, in this spirit and it was discovered b; him that the papers given out we not such as would ever be used again, Mr. Ewart bad argued that the testimony in- dicated that the papers in question had been taken prior to the December examination. The contrary was true. The burden of evi- dence showed that the copies must have been made after this examination, A fact had recently come to his knowledge which fixed it beyond question that it was i February that the papers were brought to Mr. Oberly, and he declared that the testimony showed that they could not have got into Mr. Flynn’s hands rey pommel that. The arguments before the commission were closed by Commissioner Thompson, who made aforcible speech reviewing the testimony and going over much the same ground as that cov- ered by Mr. Roosevelt's eddress, They Are Home Again. The train bearing the party of Washington newspaper correspondents who visited Au- gusta, Ga, as guests of that city, returned to Washington early this morning. On the homeward trip a meeting was held, Maj. M. P. Handy of the Philadelphia North Amerwan being elected chairman and Mr. P. V. DeGraw of the United Press, secretary.

The bank was opened at No, th street. Johnson claimed that he deposited €300 with Colegrove to sure against loss. aud Addison deposited « much smaller a t. They and « young brought here and the case argued. The court follows the precedent established in the Spice anarchist case. As the court adjourns for the term May 19 the decision denying or grants the writ of error will be announced almost im- mediately after the argument. The chief justice, in denying the application | for writ of habeas corpus, said that he did so inasmuch as a writ had been granted by Judge Wallace, Justice Blatchford then said that as Mr. Sher man had applied to him in chambers, as the rt, for a he would suggest tha: Mr. Sherman sb. make such as was done ia anarchist case. the court said it would hear the applica’ its next and final session for the term, ou May 19, Should the application be | denied, as was done in ‘the anarchist case. it ends the matter; but should it be granted it simply defers for about a year final disposition of the matter, the case having to come up again in # more extended form, ——— BELVA AND VICTORIA.

Reports Made by Both the Majority and the Minority of the Election Committee. Representative McComas reported to the House Saturday from the committee on elec- | tion of President, Vice President and Repre- | sentatives in Congress °his bill to pre- vent gerrymandering. After stating that state legislatures have made members ef Congress grossly unequal representatives of the people, Mr. McComas’ report said: “The effort to restrain the zeal of political faction by requiring that Representatives shall be elected by districts composed of contiguous territory has not restrained the state from stifling the voiee of the minority party in each state by in- genious gerrymandering. The majority of the committee believe in the light of recent his- tory that Congress should exert its constitu- tional power to restrain these abuses in redis- tricting the states, to secure firsta staple and equal representation of the people in Congr and then to prevent intimidation or bribery at | the elections for Representatives in Congress. The majority of the committee believe that Congress has power to apportion Representa tives and to divide each state of the whole United States into congressional districts, but do not think it expedient Congress should now district the states.” Under his bill the states shall still prescribe th time, place and manner of electing Represen tives, but the districts to be formed by the states shall be, as to territory, contiguous, ad- Joining and as far as practicable compact, and as to population as nearly equal as practicable. Next it provides that the districts shail be | stable for a decade, as the framers of the stitution intended. The report says that all the | states should be brought back to the same basis by undoing these gerrymanders com- mitted just ninety days before the new cen- sus is consistent and fair to all parties. Provision is made for duplicate returns to be made by local canvassing boards to the clerk of the House to be used ing election es where state executives or certifying boards have sought to defraud the will of the people by certifying wrongly or re- fusing to certify rightly a Representative elected THE MINORITY REPORT, Representative Tucker submitted a report of | the minority, whicn stated that the bill sunply | proposes to transfer a system complained of as an evil from the states to the national theater, where its highest development may be wit nessed and its ripest fruits reaped. It proposes to prohibit gerrymandering by the states, but invites its adoption by Congress. It denies to the state the right to change the districts for members of Congress, except once in ten years, and reserves that right exclusively to Congress, to be exercised at ita pleasure or upon the de mand of party exigency.
