An Unexpected Discovery Made on Ex- amining a Dead Man’s Trunk. Yesterday afternoon the attention of two Stax reporters was attracted to four gentlemen entering a carriage on D street between the Police Court and poliee headquarters, ‘Two of these bore a weighty bundle — be- tween them and the others had in their hands packages of paper and account books. This scene, coupled with some talk during the past few days that one of the party had found a large lot of money, caused some inquiry. It was learned that it was desired to keep the matter quiet until a full inventory was taken and the money de- Fosited. This has been done. It was stated today that the bundle contained the assets of the estate of the late Bushrod As! who died athis home uexr Tenleytown April 18 atthe advanced “age of cigh e years, having lived there many years and who was stpposed to have been in only mode- rate circumstances, Shortly after his death, he having brothers and sisters to whom the estate should go, a petition for letters of ad- ministration fited in the case that he had left but # few hundred dollars, Messrs, Randall, Hagner and F, H. key, acting for the relatives made an investigation, having first given bond as administrators of the estate in the sum of $20,000, They then took an in- ventory of the effects.

Fourthcoming Reports on the Pacific Railroad Funding Bill—Other Matters. The House committee on Pacific railroads has finally decided to report favorably to the House the Pacific railroad funding bill, which it has had under consideration for several months, The bill reported will be a substitute for the Vandever bill; but this substitute is really the bill reported by the Senate committee amended in some respects, The vote on reporting the bill was 7 to 4. and one member refrained from casting his vote on the ground that he was uot fally informed upon the subject. The report will be made by Mr. Miles of Connecticut, and the chairman, Mr. Daizell, will present the views of the minority, Both reports are to be submitted to the com- mittee at the next meeting before presentation to the House. ‘The bili referred to covers the Union Pacitic and Central Pacific railroads, the former being allowed fifty years for the fund- ing. with interest at 3 per cent, and the latter seventy-five years, with interest at 2 per cent.

What the Alliance Says in Behalf ofthe Grain Treasury Plan. = A BEARING BEFORE THE WAYS AND MEANS COM- ‘MITTEE TODAY—MR. LIVINGSTONE CLAIMS THAT MANY EVILS MAY BE DONE AWAY WITH BY THIS PLAN. Congressmen from agricultural states and friends of the Farmers’ Alliance crowded the ways and means committee room at the Capi- tol today to hear Mr. Livingstone, the national lecturer of the alliance, expound his views on the Bickler bill for the establishment of sub- treasaries for the deposit of grain, oats, corn, tobacco and cotton. Mr. Livingstone said there need be no mis- apprehension concerning the objects of the alliance, It was not seeking to displace the ruling political parties, The subtreasury bill had nothing to do with the tariff. The farmers asked that the subtreasury bill be passed. Fifty-eight homes of farmers had been sold in Counecticut in one day this week. Relief was demanded and the farmers knew how to get it. Farmers, he said. had to secure loans at ex- cessive rates of interest. There was no justifi- cation for that under God's broad heaven. FARMER AND MANUFACTURER, Mr. Flower asked if the manufacturer did not hive to pay the same interest. Mr, Liv- ing iore replied that he did not; there was a direrenee between watered stuck concerns andthe farmer's real estate, yet the latter was |, - made the worst scenrity in the country. He quoted Presideut Lincoln's prediction that corporatious would be enthroned, that the property of the country would be concentrated and that the republic itself would be over- thrown, ife thanked God that the last pre- diction had not come true. If Congress refused toindorse the subtreasury plan, he said, it should remove the restrictions hedging in the nat onal banking system, A CHANCE TO ESCAPE THE SPECULATOR. The subtreasury plan gave the farmer a chance to escape the speculator by allowing watching closely and with the eyes of an expert the performance of what some one called “the second greatest show ou earth,” CAPT. M’CALLA’S SENTENCE. It is Said He Will be Suspended for Three Years. The Secretary of the Navy will this afternoon sign and thereby approve the find- ings of the court-martial which recently tried Capt. Bowman H. Me(alla for cruel treatment of the crew of the U.S.S. En- terprise while on her recent cruise. There is no doubt that the court neither acquitted Capt. McCalla nor sentenced him to dismissal. The sentence lies somewhere between these limits, and it is generally thought to be three years’ suspension from rani, duty and pay and a retention of his present number in the naval register, There is a feelihg that Secretary Tracy }s not at all pleased with the niency shown by the court in its sentence, as he feels the navy to have been in a measure disgraced by the actions of the commander of the Enterprise, and it is expected that his order of approval may contain a reprimand to the court as well as to the unfortunate officer, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market. ‘The following wre the opening and closing the New York Stock Market, us reported bj [wire to Corson and Macartney, 1419 F atre prices of ¥ special TOL Osa & W., pref. 805, 80 whe Northwest.

M. Palen er and G. Se Stubbs were death in a granite quarry near Monrovia, Cal., yesterday afternoon, him to deposit his crops in the subtreasuries at any time and spared him selling at stated sea- sons. If the subtreasury bili was passed there would not be a bucket shop left in the United states, There need be no fear that the bill would cause the farmers to form a trust. It was against the farmer's nature—he had to rush his crop to ma up an eighth of a cent every farmer would be seen hitching up bis team the next morning. He would be afraid that one-eighth of a cent would getaway from him. Then the farmers would have but a year's privilege, while the banks had twenty years. NoT A PERFECT MEASURE. This plan was not held out asa perfect meas- ure, All legislation was the result of compro- mise, The gentleman from New York (Mr. Flower) had predicted that the children would be putto work in the ware houses and the women in the fields. The inference was that the men under a paternal government would be too lazy to work. Mr, Flower— Look at Germany today. Mr. Livingstone denied that such a result would follow, Could there be a government more paternal than ours—paternal to the banks he meant. He did not favor a paternal gov- ernment, “If the highways were opened to enterprise and energy the farmer would be satisfied. WAITING LONG ENOUGH. But the farmer had stood around waiting long enough. He had to have relief; it was a ground hog case. Sixteen millions would build allof the ware houses the alliance wanted, What good were river and harbor improve- ments to the debt-ridden, oppressed farmer? Never more than a third of the cotton crop would be warehoused. Wheu the certificates issued on the crop came in they would meet the needs of the wheat crop, and then the to- bacco crop, and so ou, There would not be ex- cessive changes in the volume of the currency. PROTECTED AND UNPROTECTED STAPLES. Mr. Flower asked why the ware houses were tobe nsed only for oats, wheat, corn, tobacco and cotton, Why not putin the pot wool and rice and cheese and pork, &c.? Mr. Livingstone replied that these other staples were protected by a high tariff—75 per cent for wool alon: Mr. Flower read table to show that staple crops had fluctuated more than 50 per cent within thirty years and asked if that did not demonstrate the instability of the proposed currency. “May Heaven have mercy upon this country when a thouxand millions of currency was suddenly called in, as it might be under such a fluctuation, Mr. Livingstone replied that the fluctuations had been caused by the fact that the farmers had been compelled to scilerops at adverse times—sometising the Dill proposed to remedy. ° po SOMETHING FOR THE FARMER, In conclusion he said that if the committee thought that the landed basis was the best, if they could not accept the crop basis, let them put it in, Do something to relieve the farmer. Report the bill to the House in some shape so that it could be acted upon. Don’t make it a question of tariff or of polities, but let the bill stand on its merits, EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND AND THE ALLIANCE. The Farmers’ Alliance circular, which was indorsed by ex-President Cleveland, was not the circular which set forth the ware house subtreasury scheme, which contemplates the issue of currency on farm products, The cir- cular sent to him contained nothing on that subjec It said: “Profoundly impressed that we. the Farmers’ Alliance, united by the strou faithtal ties of financial and home should set forth our declarations intentions, we therefore resolve to strive to secure the establishmeat of right aud justice to ourselves and our posterity; to labor for tie education of agri- cultural classes in the science ot the economy of government in strictly non-partisan spirit; to indorse the motto, ‘In things es- sentil, unity; in all things. charity; tosecure the purity of th and to induce all voters to y exercise it for the | enictinent and execution of laws which will express the most advanced public sentin: upon all questions involving th Jaborers and fa hy, to constant Jove among our appress persons local, see ional prejudices, all un- Gealthful and 1 selfish ambitious; to} assuage the sufferings of brother and | sister; to buey the dead, care ti » widows and edueate the crphans; to exercise charity toward offenders; words and purposes in their most favorable light. grant- ng bonesty of purpose and good intentions to others and to protect the principles of alliance unto death.” ae IN THE LINE OF DUTY. A Soldier Injured in a Railroad Acci- dent on His Way Home. Assistant Secretary Bussey has decided in the case of Quincy J. Drake, a second lieu- tenant in an Illinois regiment, that he is enti- tled to a pension. Tho disability upon which the claim for pension was founded was incurred by the ciaimant being in a railroad uccident while on his way to bis home in Rochester,N.Y., on a leave of absence. He had been granted a leave of thirty days, but had been ordered back to his post of duty upon the expiration of twenty days. Atthe time of the accident he was on his way home again to spend the re- maining ten days of leave which remained to him. Tke Pension Office rejected the claim on the ground that the officer was on leave of absence anc therefore not in the line of duty. A cmitting this principle to be correct and that the government cannot be held re- sponsible for disability received during a leave of absence, yet, Gen. Bussey argues, that in this case the officer happened to bein the place where he received the injury in consequence of an official order and that therefore he was in the line of duty and entitled ton pension. He had been called back to his regiment and in cousequence of that recail he was, at the time of the accident, returning to enjoy the remain- der of his leave. ——_—_.____ Topays Boxp Orrentnes aggregated $260.- 850, as follows: Registered 4s,2100,000, $140,200, $2,000, $4,350 at 122; registered 4148, $3,300 at 103}4; coupon 4}¢s, $11,000, at 10329.

TESTIMONY BEFORE THE JURY IN REFERENCE TO THE KILLING OF THE ROY JOHN KIRWIN, RUN OVER BY A WAGON, AND THE COLORED MAN JESSE JOUNSON, CRUSHED—IME VERDICT. Coroner Patterson held two inquests at the sixth precinct station this morning. The first evidence taken was in the case of Johnnie Kir- win, the litde boy who was injured on G street near the old base ball park Tuesday evening, as published in yesterday's Star. Michael Hassett, John Pryor. John Lynch and John Slurphy were cailed as witnesses, Lynch did notsce the wagon pass over the boy, but saw him get up and run across the street and fall down, Witness called to the driver to stop, but he only looked back and shook his head. Michael Hassett testified that he picked up the injured] lad, who fainted in his arms, Some one asked the driver if he ran over the boy and he an- swered “no.” The driver did not stop. but drove ahead at a pretty good gait. John Pryor was the only wituess who claimed to have wit nessed the accident. He saw the boy on the wagon and when he went to get off the vehicle the wheel passed over him. The horse attached to the wagon was going along at a slow trot. John Lomax, a colored man, who was ar- rested on suspicion of being the driver of the wagon, made « statement admitting that he was the driver. He claimed that he did not know that the boy was on his wagon. When some one called to him he looked around and saw the boy running across the street, He did | not think that the wagon had passed over him. | HOW JESSE JOHNSON WAS KILLED. The jury then heard the evidence of Jacob Johnson, brother of Jesse Johnson, who was killed by the caving in of a sewer bank in East Washington, According to Jacob's testimony they were both employed by J. R. Quinter, | His brother Jesse was in the diteb. “We had dug down about eight fect,” he said. “and I got out of the trench to get a drink of water, When I returned I began’ throwing the earth back. I noticed that the bank was about to cave in and caHted to Jesse, but it was too late. Be tried to get out,but the falling earih caught im,” | When questioned by the coroner he said that his brother lived abou: fiftcen minutes after being taken from under the earth, but he could not speak, Witness said he considered the trench a dangerous place to work in, as it was in made ground and he thought it should have been braced. He said he had worked in just | as dangerous places betore. At noon the jury took a recess for one hour. THE CAUSES OF BOTH DEATAS. After recess the jury heard the evidence of Deputy Coroner Schaeffer, who made the autopsy in each case, He found that the wheel of the wagon had passed over the boy and cut the intestines, while the colored man was smothered to death. THE VERDICTS, | In the former case the jury found a verdict of accidental death and exonerated the driver, who was discharged. In the case of Johnson a similar _ver- dict was reached, the jury being of the opinion that no one was more to biame than him METHODIST DEACONESSES. “Opening Day” of the “Home” on F | Street in This City, INTERESTING DEDICATION SERVICES THIS AFTER- NOON—GOOD WORK OF WASHINGTON METHO- DISTS—TWO CLASSES OF DEACONESSES—LIST OF THE MANAGERS OF THE HOME. “Home for Deaconesses of the Methodist Episcopal Church” is inscribed in gilt letters on a black metal background and the combina- tion is firmly nailed up alongside the front door of No, 13: at ast.

How the Rock Creek Railroad Bill was Passed by the House Today. The District took part in the tariff question this morning to a certain extent, being made something of a foot ball in a little game of de- lay. The matter came about through the at- tempt to pass the Kock Creek railroad bill, The bill, it will be remembered, was discussed in the committee of the whole in the House at the last District day, and after being amended was ordered to be favorably re- ported to the House, The bill with the House amendments was passed by the Senate on Monday, and it was thought would be an easy matter to get it through the House this morning. The Senate bill was read and Mr. Atkinson moved that it be substituted for the House bill and passed. All looked lovely for a few moments, but the dem- ocrats saw their opportanity and the Rock Creek railroad was immediately fotced into na- tional politics as a means of obstruction to the progress of the tariff debate, Mr. Rogers (Ark.) made a point of order against the consideration of the bill, which was overruled by the Speaker. In his remarks Mr. Rogers said he did not understand the bill, The Speaker suggested that the bill had just been read. Mr. Rogers said that during the delivery of the prayer this morning certain gentlemen had made so much noise that had they been in Arkansas they would have been arrested for disturbing a religious mecting. This noise had not diminished after the prayer and he had been unable to understand the reading of the bill, Mr, Atl on remarked that the noise during prayer had come as much from the democratic as the republican side, Mr. Atkinson further said that the bill had been twice printed in the Record. Mr. Rogers then took the opportunity to make an attack on the Record, remarking that since the Spanish inquisition no such cruelty has ever been practiced as tiat of compelling members to read the Record, Mr. Breckinridge moved that the bill be re- ferred to the District committee. Mr. Cannon spoke of the necessity for the immediate con- sideration and passage of the bill. If not passed this morning it would be delayed for DISTRICT LE weeks, The bili had been — favor- ably reported from the committee of the whole. Mr. Atkinson moved the After considerable delay previous question. r. Rogers demanded th sud noes, Which The Honse divided on almost strictly party lines, the republicans voting aye, the democratsno. The previous question was or- dered, ayes 136, noes 74, Mr. Breck:nridge’s mo- tion to refer to the District committee was then defeated by another party vote—ayes 8, noes 142, The bill was then read a third time and passed, and the Rock Creek railroad having flashed across the tariff skies dropped back to its nsuai level, but as a passed measure, waiting the President's signature. INFORMATION WANTED AS TO LADOKERS EM- PLOYED BY THE DISTRICT. Aresolution mtroduced by Mr. agreed to in the Sens ling on the Commiss.ouers to inform the ite if labor- ers employed by the District government on public works be required to work more than eight hours for a day's work, and if so, to what extent aud under what law. Also if laborers on such work in the county receive less pay Blair was n those, in the city, and if 80, why ‘such diseriminations ‘are made and by what legal authority. it as done.and how man; employes, as nearly as can be convenieutiy st ed, are paid by the District nmbia, their classification and the rates of payment and uumber of hours of their daily work. A STRINGENT BILL TO REGULATE TRE LIQUOR TRAFFS Mr, Ingalls today in the Senate, by request, introduced a bill regulating the sale of distilled and fermented liquors in the District of Coium- bia. ‘ihe bill places the license wholesale 000 for retail, The bill fol. lows the line of the bili draft by Commissioners and already printed in THe ran, It is provided, in addition to the fine of 600° for engaging in business without a license, that for the secoud offense, in addition to a like fine, the party shall be imprisoned for not less than six months nor more than one and the stock of liquors be seized and destroyed by the chief of police. For violation of any provision the fine is to be not lees than nor more than 3500, For a second offense the vivlator of the law shall be fined again, imprisoned for not more than one year, tis license revoked and all liquor found on his premises shall be seized and destroyed by the chief of potice.

During the consideration of the calendar in the yesterday afternoon a good deal of amusement was createa by Senator Ingalls frequently expressed objection to the consid- eration of biits when it happened that the author and promoter of the measure was ab- sent. Eighteen bills were thus temporarily shelved by the Senator from Kansas, among them being the bill to encourage co-operation and to provide for the formation of associn- tions in the District tor the purpose of con- ducting avy lawful business and dividing the profits among the members, BILL FOR RELIEF OF MAJOR GOODLOE. ‘The Senate bill for the relief of Major G.

The New Rule Which WI Curtail De= bate on the Tariff Bi The bringing in of a new rule by the House commuttee on rules providing for the reading of the tariff bill through before amendments jshall be inorder and that the bill shall be voted on at noon Wednesday is another new departure by the committee and is !a clever jflank movement to cut off | the suspected pian of the democrats jto prolong the discussion of the j Dill indefinitely under the five-minute rule, Without this rule the chances are that the vote would bave been taken on the bill before it had been gone ever. By reading the bill first no one will be able to say thet the bill in its en- tirety was not considered by the House and there will be no opportunity to poiut out just at what section of the bill the further offering of amendments was cut off. They will con- sider ax many amendments as there is time between now and Wednesday noon, ther may be offered to any clause in the bill If they want to get their amendments in the democrats will have to consume as little time as possible on each one, ‘Ihe republicans who do not believe in the McKinley bil, except Mr. Butterworth, are far jess outspoken than they were early in the pro- ceedings and some of them whose opposition is most earnest say the pect they will have to vote for the bill after making an attempt te amend it. DISINFECTING THE BLACK HOLE, An Experiment Made with a New Prep= aration at the Police Court. The prisoners in the Police Court cells had & novel experience this afternoon. The cells, which have been in an extremely bad condi- tion, were disintected.
