Lindsay got mad and abused Kilts, The distiller's fourteen-year-old son thought his father in danger and threw a rock at Lindsay, who attempted to shoot Kilts, but his party took his pistols from him. They left, and when @ mile away Lindsiy asked for the Pistols, saying he would do no harm, He got he pistols and wheeled his horse and rode back to Kilts’ house. The latter saw him com- ing and locked the door, but Lindsay broke it down and shot Kilts twice, killing him instantly. He then attémpted to shoot the boy, but missed him and hit a little girl, but did not seriously wound her. It is reported that Lind- say's party arrested him and gave him over to the sheriff of the county. Lindeay is a desper- ate character, having murdered a prominent citizen of Campbell county five years ago and escaped because of lack of evidence, claiming self-defense, and there were no witnesses. The place of the recent killing is 25 miles from the telegraph station. —_— YOUNG FATHER SHERMAN, A Query About Him That Startled His Friends.

A Senate Subcommittee Said to Favor, With Modifications, the Atkinson Bill. For some time past Senator McMillan, Sena- tor Higgins and Senator Vance, as » subcom- mittee of the Senate Distriet committee, have been engaged in hearing what the Pennsylvania railroad and the people of the District had to say avout the bill which comfirms the company's title to several reservations and streets through which it now meanders without let or hindrance. This subcommitteo has held several meetings, The report, which is now complete, may be handed in at the meeting of the whole committee on Friday next, but the probabilities are that it will be delayed for a week or more. It is understood that the report is heartily in favor of confirming the title of the railroad company to everything it now has in the way of tracks from the Navy Yard tunnel to 6th street and Virgi avenue. The shops, Stations and other structures now existing are to be legalized. No are to be made in the present of grade crossings on this part of the roa: the reason that the subcommittee is of opinion that any attempt to depress or elevate the tracks would end only in failire. SIDINGS AND SIDE TRACKS. When that matter had been disposed of the subcommittee took up the important question of sidings and side tracks and it was agreed.to recommend that the District Com- missioners be empowered whenever they consider it a public benefit to grant the Balti- more and Potomac Railroad Company permis- sion to lay, maintain and use side tracks and sidings from the main line or lines of said railroad into any real estate abuttin, on the streets or avenues on which such line or such company is or may be situated, which may be used or occupied for manufacturing, commercigl or other busi- ess purposes, by parties desiring the use of such facilities, The subcommittee also agreed to the condemnation section of the McPherson (or Atkinson) bill, SIXTH STREET AND MARYLAND AVENUE. There was one thing, however, that was too much for the subcommittee. It could come toa definite conclusion as to what ought to be done with the tracks from 6th street and Virginia avenue to the depot and to the Long Bridge. There was a strong sentiment in the committee favorable to having some change made, but the sentiment is said to have given way before the statement of the railroad people that when the bill under con- sideration becomes law they will enter into some sortof an agreement which may result inimprovement. The Pennsylvania railroad authorities refused to assent to a proposition which would do the whole job in one bill. ‘They want their title made good first and then from the legal attitude to which they hope to be elevated, they may, if they feel so inclined, out of pity, slightly amend the objectionable conditions. ‘THE DEPOT SITE. It is asserted that the company has de- cided to keop its depot just where it is, and there seems to be no very marked desire in the subccmmittee to combat this corporate conclusion. Broadly, the company says it is willing to depress the tracks from the stations to the Long Bridge, so that the tops of the cars would be about level with the street, Then it would wall the tracks in and put across them all the necessary bridges. In the mall it would sod the ground from its present level up to the inclines, which would terminate at the top of the inclosing walls. ‘This, however, is ® matter upon which there will’ be @ good deal of discussion and there is not a member of the subcommittec that believes anything can possibly be done during the pres- ent session. The committees and the railroad representa- tives will gather together once more and pre- Pare to think about it—some day, THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

Disagreement onthe General Pension Bill—Notes From Committee Rooms, After a talk yesterday between Senator Davis and Representative Morrill, chairmen of the two committees on pensions, it was believed that anjagreement would be finally and formally reached today by the conferees on the genoral Pension bill But when the Housevconferees came up this morning with the instructions of the republican caucus of last night to main- tain the principle of service pensions it was manifest that an agreement could not be se- cured under those conditions, and a vote to re- port disagreement to the respective houses was adopted, The service pension feature was the only one of any importance upon which the conferees could not agree. BEER AND TEA. The ways and means committee today au- thorized favorable reports upon the Van Schaick bills permitting brewers to lay 8 pize or conduit from a brewery vat to another uilding for the purpose of bottling beer and allowing drawback on exported beer equal to the internal revenue tax paid. A favorable report was also directed on the McAdoo bill, amendatory of the act to er the importation of spurious tea so as to forbid the importation of tea adulterated with spu- tious leaf or exhausted leaves or what is known as “tea dust.” BAD BOYS IN TROUBLE, They Plan a Robbery and Attempt to Chloroform the Parents of One. Mr. W. 8. Deardoff of the Post Office De- partment has an cleven-year-old son named Edward, who has been anything but a good boy in the past and today found him in the Police Court dock charged with being a sus- Picious person. Frank Beuter, eighteen years old, and Robert Beuter, fourteen years, were also eo charged. There was no evidenco against the oldest boy, but he was ar- rested on a statement made by the younger boys that he assisted them in their wrong doing. The two younger boys have been going together for some time, despite the efforts of Mr. Deardoff to keep them separated. They recently planned ty rob Mr. Deardoff, it is al- Jeged, and iast night they attempted to carry out their plan. The boys had secured a bottle of chloroform, which Robert Beuter kept in his possession. It was arranged that when Mr. and Mrs, Deardoff retired their boy was to let his partner, Robert Beuter, in through the pantry window and then they were to chloroform and rob the father and mother of the Deardoff boy. CARRYING OUT THE PLAN. It was after 11 o'clock when the Benter boy reached Mr. Deardoff's house, No. 1639 Marion street. Mr. Deardoff's son was on the alert, and when he opened the pantry window Beuter entered, He was to use the chloroform, which he attempted to do by saturating a handker- chief with it. Mrs, Deardoff was awakened by the odor of the finid and she whispered “burglars” to her husband, whereupon Mr. Deardoff arose and lighted the gas. He found Beuter beneath the bed. In the room was a bottle of chloroform and the saturated handkerchief. Before any alarm was given young Deardoff entered the room and appeared surprised to find his pa- rents awake, with Beuter in custody. THE BOYS ARRESTED. Policeman Trainor of the second precinct was called in and before midnight he had the boys behind the station house bars. They im- plicated the older Beuter boy, and it was on ee statements alone that the officer arrested im, JUDGE MILLEN'S COMMENTS. In disposing of the case Jadge Miller said he noticed that the larceny cases had been on the decrease for some time, but every now and then “respectable” burglars are brought to court. The judge spoke of the remarkable scheme pases and executed by boys, Al- though the lads are young their ability ~s mn such schemes he said is good evidence of their responsibility. “Where did the chloroform come from?” in- quired the judge. ‘From Melson’s drug store,” replied the officer. “We don’t want any more of this chloroform business,” continued the judge. “This is a crime that needs heroic treatment and the two boys—Robert Beuter and Edward Deardotf— can go to the Reform School during minority.” Judge Miller said he would not discharge Frank Beuter, but would continue the case to give the officer time to continue the investiga- tion. ‘And,” concluded the judge, “if any erson has sold these boys chloroform I wan: jim brought in to explain why he sold it to them.” a Real Estate Matters, J.

Strange struck her, knocking her off the curb, breaking her right hip and knocking out several of ber teeth. She was taken to her home and attended by Dr. Winters, who found that her injuries were of a very serious nature. Mr. Strange was arrested and gave bonds to answer. This morning in the Police Court the de- fondant was charged with careless driving. It was shown that the young mé ter the acci- dent, instead of ‘driving off, stopped and picked uy e child and then went for the doc- tor, J Miller gave him the benefit of his kind attention to the child and imposed a fine of only $10. —_———._ GRAIN AND FOOD INSPECTION. The District Commissioners Reconsider Their Action on the Bill. The District Commissioners, at the request of the Grain Exchange, recently recommended ‘the passage of a law establishing a compulsory inspection of all grain, hay, straw or feed com- ing to the city by rail or boat. Since that action considerable opposition to the measure has de- Feloped, and the Commissioners yesterday ad- dressed to the House and Senate District com- mittees the following letter: In response to reference to them of Senate bill 3483, creating the office of inspector of hay, straw, grain and fced in and for the District of Columbia, the Commissioners have to reply that this bill was presented to them by a com- mittee of the Grain Exchange of this city, with the statement that it was approved by that body of business men, The Commissioners made inquiry of meu be- Heved to be intelligent in business of like character, and found a general concurrence of opinion in its favor, and orally recommended its enactment to the committee on the District of Columbia, Later, however, a determined and aggressive opposition from most of the larger dealers in the articles enumerated in the bill has developed and cogent reasons given why such a law is not required for the rotection of the consumer, and why it would re ra themed to the dealer. The opponents of the bill produce evidence that in several of the states such laws have been found trouble- some and insuflicient for any good, and have been repealed. While the opposition has not convinced the Commissioners that the proposed law is not de- sirable and expedient, the tact that a compul- sory inspection of hay, straw, grain and feed has Leen tried elsewhere, ‘and in many in- stances abandoned, induces them to suggest that the bill lie over this session of Congress for further information. ‘There does not seem to be any opposition to a system of voluntary inspection of the above- named articles, A law with tuis feature only would, perhaps, be sutlicient, if it gave the absolute right to either the seller of buyer to demand an inspection and imposed a sufficient penalty upon any one who should decline to submit to it, ‘The Commissioners are not now ey grees to submit such a bill, If the committee conclude to report this sion a bill providing for the inspection of grain, hay and straw the Commissioners think the compulsory feature should be retained. The case, however, is not one of such exigency as requires immediate legislation. ‘hey take the liberty to forward herewith,by request, certain papers relating to the bill’ in question. THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHER CITIES, On hearing of the proposed law Mr. P. H. Hill, the produce broker, wrote to the leading commercial bodies of the country to learn the custom with them and their opinion of such a law. He has already received replies from the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce, Chi- cago Board of ‘Trade, Baltimore Corn and Flour Exchange, Memphis Grain Association, New York Produce Exchange, Denver Cham- ber of Commerce and Board of Trade, St. Louis Merchants’ Exchange, Boston Chamber of Commerce, New Orleans Board of Trade, Louisville Board of Trade, Atlanta Board of Trade, Charleston, $.C., Merchants’ Exchange, Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, Toledo Produce Exchange, Norfolk, Va., Chamber of Commerce, Richmond Grain and Cotton Ex- change and other bodies. It was learned that in some parts of the south such a law had been tried and abandoned, while nowhere was it in use now and never had been in the west. The only compulsory inspection there is th: of grain that is dumped together in vast ele- vators and must be inspected to maintain raped that are recognized in the markets of e world. ‘The secretary of the Chicago Board of Trade expressed the belief that such a law would be very detrimental to the business interests of the District and curtail the volume of receipts. The secretary of the Toledo Exchange said there is no such law in that city or state, and that the ex:hanye would oppose its enact- menthere, ‘Lhe secretary of the Indianapolis Board of Trade said no such law exists there or anywhere else within the extended circle of his commercial acquaintance. IN FAVOR OF AN INSPECTOR, Mr, James L, Barbour said this morning to a Stan reporter in regard to the proposed law that the dealers seemed to be about evenly di- vided on it. It does not provide for the in- spection of prosece coming to the city in farm wagons, but only such as comes in car lots or boat loads. Disputes, he said, frequently arise between local dealers’ aud outside shippers as to the grade of grain or other produce, and as there is no official inspector much inconveni- ence is occasioned. Nome shippers complain, he said, that when prices go up their consign: ments are kept, but when it goes down they are rejected. He favored an inspector whose decision would be final in such 8. The in- spection would cost about 25 or 30 cents a car, he said, and might cost him $300 or $400 a year, buthe thought it the easiest way to ad- just all differences, aud would result in giving the Washington grades a standing with those of commercial cities of the west. ‘There is a dif- ference of opinion among dealers, he said, and an honest difference, but as for himself he would be glad to have an inspector whose au- thority would be recognized as official and final by both buyer and seller.

Superintendent Porter Begins the En- forcement of @ Vigorous Policy. PROSECUTIONS ORDERED AT ONCE IX THE casts REPORTED—ONLY THREE REFUSALS IX NEW YORK REPORTED TODAT—CASES LAID BEFORE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS. Mr. Porter, the superintendent of the census, went to the Department of Justice today for the purpose of asking that immediate steps be taken toward the enforcement of several provisions of the census law, The violations were reported today to Mr. Porter and he at once took steps to have the iaw enforced. 80 far there have been twenty-five cases reported of persone refusing to answer the questions put to them by enumerators, The Broprictor of a saloon at 285 East 45th street, New York city, Bernard Smith, not only refused to answer the questions but assaulted the enumerator, In the other cases reported no assault was mentioned. Mr. Porter expects to prosecute these cases with great vigor. ENUMERATORS IN DANGER OF PROSECUTION. There is another feature of the law which Mr. Porter finds is being violated. Some of the enumerators, after taking the oath and be- — the work, have declined to serve, Jnless some sufficient reason is offered, and they are relieved officially, the enumerators can be punished with fine and imprisonment. In all the cases of this char- acter thus far reported Mr. Porter will en- deavor to have prosecutions begun, Mr. Porter receives a great many inquiries #8 to whether enumerators can give out the information which they obtain, In some sec- tions of the country, especially in the large cities, circulars have been sent to the enumer- ators by newspapers asking that the daily re- ports which each enumerator is required to make to the supervisor of the district and to the superintendent of the census be furnished to them, DIRECTING PROSECUTIONS, Superintendent Porter today received a tele- gram from the census enumerator for the third Georgia district today asking, “What must | supervisor do when bead of family absolutely refuses to give information concerning himself or family on any line inquiry; furthermore, forbids enumerator entering his premises?” To this Mr. Porter replied directing the supervisor to lay all the facta in the case be- fore the United States district attorney at At- lanta and commence proceedings against said head of family under the census act, Superintendent Porter also received tele- grams today from John Burnsted of Jersey City, supervisor of that census district, asking what he should do where enumerators had re- fused to perform their duties. fo this Mr, Porter sent a reply directing that unless satisfactory reasons are given for the non-performance of duties the facts be laid be- fore the district attorney for prosecution. In the case of the assault on an enumerator in New York and refusals to answer questions Superintendent Porter today sent @ letter directing a prosecution. ONLY THREE CASES TODAY. At2 o'clock this afternoon Superintendent Porter a received telegram from James H. Wardle, chief clerk of census office, now in New York watching the enumeration, in which he says: “Only three refusals up to 12 o'clock today to answer census schedules.” Superintendent Porter at once telegraphed Supervisor Murray to lay the cases of refusal before United States District Attorney Mitchell and commence proceedings at once in the dis- trict court. THE UNITED STATES BEHIND HIM, Superintendent Porter said to a Stax reporter that the census office has the United States Con- it in this matter and that examples must be made at once. There is, he said, no ditference of opinion among constitutional lawyers as to the authority for compelling people to answer any of the questions except those of diseases. The constitution says a census shall be taken ever; ten years, but it oT impossitle to take a census withont taking the names where auswers to such questions are refused snmmary examples wil! be made of the parties, ENUMERATORS MUST NOT GIVE OUT INFORMA TION. Today Superintenden: Porter sent to cach enumerator the following circular: “The thirteenth section of the census act of March 1, 1889, makes it a misdemeanor, pun- ishable by a fine of $500. for any supervisor or enumerator to communicate to any per- son net authorized to receive the same | any information gained by him in the performance of his duties. It is not, therefore, within the discretion of the super- visors or enumerators to make public or give out eae rt of the information obtained by them. ‘This applies with equal force to loca! authorities, newspapers and individuals. In no case will the superintendent grant permis- | sion te divulge any euch information. “No tabulations:whatever of the returns must be made by the supervisors and no rougit esti- | mates given out. The schedules should be sent | to Washington immediately after examination has been made by the supervisor to discover omissions and errors.” THE TARIFF BILL The Senate Subcommittee Give a Hear- ing to Fur Dealers Today. Senators Allison, Aldrich, Hiscock and Jones of the subcommittee of republicans of the Senate finance committee today continued the consideration of the tarifi bill, The items ia | the wood schedule were examined and passed, | and then the sugar schedule was laid over for the present, it being deemed best to await the retur: of Senators Morrill and Sherman before taking up a subject of such importance. Two New York fur dealers, representing, they said, 100 houses engaged in the prepara: tion of furs and manufacture of fur goods, were given a hearing of a few minutes by the subcommittee this morning. They asked an increase of the duty on dressed furs and manu- factured articles over that provided in the House bill, The fur makers said that until recently the home market had not been invaded by the foreign manufacturer and the old rate of duty was sufficient. although the resident manu- facturers paid their workmen $20 to $25 week, while the foreign manufacturers paid but $8 and $10 for the same class of lal But now the cheaper foreiga product is fiuding its way into the United States and the manu- facturers have plead for a higher rate of duty to protect themselves and employes. ‘The members of the finance committee who heard the plea are inelined to believe, it is said, that the rates proposed in the Honse bili, 20 per cent ad valorem, on dressed furs and 30 per cent on manufactured articles are suffi- ciently high, Contesting a Will. The Circuit Court, Judge Montgomery, is en- gaged in the triai of the issues as to the validity of the will of the late Elizabeth Brent. Messrs. Gordon & Gordon appear for the propounders of the wili and F, T, Browning for the caveators. The deceased was eighty years of age when she died, January 19 last, and shortly before had made a will, naming 0. C. Black as executor, Certain provisions were found in the will differ- ent from those in the will dated May 3, 1886, M. Saunders was made executor. The coverters that undue influence, &c., led to the execution of the will of 1889, The verdict of the jury set aside the will, The Catholic University Lectures. ‘The public lecture at the Catholic University tomorrow afternoon will be on the subject of the antiquity of the human race and will be BILLS OF DISTRICT INTEREST The Conference on the Post Office Bill— Other Matters.
