Brock, a member of the eighth Towa cavalry, in searching through old records of the county, discovered among the proceedings of the board of supervisors in 1863 that on December Tof that year it passed a resolution grant- ing to every man who should enlist after that date £150. In the January following the board passed another resolution granting a bounty to all who had enlisted before or should enlist after that date, due in #50 annual pay- ments, with 6 per cent interest on the ea amounts. Brock accordingly filed a claim Saturday for 2125, as he had received #25 when he enlisted, and the accrued com- pound interest for over twenty-seven years, amounting to over $600. He further dis- covered that it would take over $60,000 to pay the claims to which soldiers enlisting from this county are entitled. The only ‘ich can prevent the collection of these claims is the statute of limitations, which, it is said, does not apply to debts of the govern- ment to its defenders. Exciting developments are expected. —___ THEY WANT SOME ONE PUNISHED. The Filibusters Must Pay for Their De- signs on Lower California.

Col, Robert Thinks They Ran Too Rapidly in Crowded Sections. At a special meeting of the board of District Commissioners this afternoon Col. Robert brought up the question of the speed of the cable cars, He called attention to the fact that where the cars passed the market or between Louisiana avenue and B street the rate of speed was much too great in view of the large amount of travel at that point, He suggested that the speed be reduced from 8 miles an hour to 4 miles an hour. Later in the afternoon President Hurt of the W. & G. R. R. dropped in at the District building. and when told by a Star re- porter of the action of Col. Robert said: “If the speed between the points you name is reduced the speed along the whole line would have to be reduced. The present rate of he continued, 8 great deal less than the state street line, in Chicago, which handles yearly about sixty millions of people. and less than on any cable line I know of. I trust the Commissioners will see the pro- priety in allowing the public the only advant- age derived from cable roads, namely, rapid transit.” ——_—.—_—_ NEWSPAPER THIEVES, Clever Scheme Used by a Post Employe and His Pat, William Bates, a young man who for several months has been employed at the office of the Post, was-before the Police Court today, charged with stealing 223 of yesterday's paper from his employer. Another young man named Walter Fowler was charged with re- ceiving the stolen papers, ‘Their counsel said that they were willing to enter pleas of guilty to the charges if the court would suspend sentence. Mr. Wilkins said Bates had been a trusted employe for many months. His scheme was to put a bundle of 200 papers or more in the mail bags and the papers would be taken out of the bags atter they were taken from the office. ‘The defendant, he said, admitted that such had been his practice for three months, While he 4s not anxious to have the young men prose- cuted to the extent of the law, he thought it was a matter that should not be permitted to go unnoticed, Pieas of guilty were entered and Judge Miller gave the boys a severe lecture on their future conductand fined them $10 each, ee es Real Estate Matters.

The Danger of Firing Promiscously Around the Soldiers’ Home Grounds. “Something really ought to be done to Prevent the miscellaneous firing of deadly weapons at the Soldiers’ Home,” said a well-known resident of this city in con- versation with a Sram reporter this afternoon, referring to the shodting Sunday night that resulted in the death of the colored man Powell. “There wasa case of a watch- man who is drawing a pension from the gov- ernment for blindness being entrusted with a heavy revolver shooting 45-caliber ball and Permitted to fire at any stray dog in the grounds, or—as he himself expressed it—‘to fire promiscuous like.’ “There are any number of living out by Soldiers’ Home who ange at cut through the grounds on their way into the city or home again in the evening. It is nota Pleasant thing to think that the same may oceur at any time to any of them if men who cannot see across x room are permitted to shoot whenever they hear a dog bark. It now turns out that a member of the Police force in that neighborhood reported some time ago in favor of arming the watch- men with shotguns instead of heavy revolvers, as if that general firing was permitted, there was real danger of some one around there being killed, Well, some one has been killed and the question now arises, who will be the next one or will something be done to prevent such a horrible and needless accident from e ver occurring again.” Tae Prestpent’s Retvrx.—The President and family returned to Washington on the U.S.8.

His Wife’s Brother Nearly Kills Him in Montreal, Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, in broad daylight, on St. Catharine street, Montreal. j pedestrians suddenly saw a flash and a puff of smoke and heard a pistol shot and a woman's scream, A cab was brought to a standstill and a woman alighted. In it were still two men, one with a smoking revolver in his hand, the other unconscious and his blood soaking into the rugs of the carriage, The wounded man was Eugene H. Cowles. His assailant was E. C. Hale, bis wife’s brother. After a few words Hale ordered the cabman to drive to the general hospital, Mrs. Cowles, who had alighted, re-entered the carriage, which started for the hospital, a distance of half a mile. A bystander had telephoned for an ambulance, and it met the party, put its services were not reqnired, On arriving at the hospital, Dr, Kirkpatrick, medical super- intendent, had the wounded man examined. At last accounts there was some hope of his recovery. Cowles is a son of the late Edwin Cowles, the editor of the Cleveland Leader, He was en- gaged in business in Cleveland, and about ten Years ago was married to Mise Alice M. Hale daughter of a wealthy Cleveland banker, The marriage was a most happy one and the union was blessed with a little girl. For some years Cowles led an exemplary married life and everything went well until he fell in with a woman named Clara Lienenschien, who, it is said, gained complete controlover him. Cowles’ business used to take him a great deal to Lock- port. N. Y., and his visits beeame more and more protracted. Then he took several trips to Europe and it was subsequently discovered that he was accompanied by the woman Clara and that they lived us man and wife at a num- ber of the leading hotels in Europe. While on one of these trips Cowles was taken dangerously ill, and, believing himself about to sent for his wife, admitted his fault and forgiven. But no sooner had he recovered, he resumed his old course of living and went tothe United States with the woman, This continued until last Novem- ber, when, through the efforts of friends, another reconeiliation was effected between husband and wife, who took up their residence in Buffalo. Not iong ago Mrs. Cowles discovered that her husband was still unfaithful, He made frequent visits to New York, and it was discoy- ered by detectives that he was again friendly with the woman Clara in that city. Mra Cowles then decided to write to Cowles’ fathe truck at his son's con- duct and at once wrote to Mrs. Cowles advising her to leave him and inviting her to stay with So great was the blow that Mr. Cowles’ death soon followed, But few imagined the real cause of the celebrated editor's demis After his death it was found that he had ex cuted a will by which he provided that one- tifth of his valuable estates should be divided into two parts, one of which he left to his wife and her little girl, Florence, anu the other part to his son, Eugene. for use duriag his lifetime, | but it was expressly provided that it would go to the wife and the child on death, Young Cowles was enraged at the terms of the will and dideverytiung in bis powcr to break it, Mrs, Cowles in the meantime went child to live with her mother. Last y Cowles wrote to his wife stating that he was going to leave the country and asked for a farewell interview with his daughter, which was granted, young girl saw her father at old Mrs. Cowles’ house aud agreed to return in the «afternoon, which she in company with her | mother's sister. Cowles invited them to go to the depot with him and the upshot was that he boarded the train with his daughter. He took the train to Connaught and proceeded by way of Buffalo to St. Catharine's, and Mrs. Cowles in the meantime engaged detectives, who gave chase and came up with Cowles at St. Catharine's. Cowles told the detectives that he intended to keep his child and that he would never give it up to the mother. Word was sent to Cleve- land, and Mrs. Cowles, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Bolton, her brother, E. C. Hale, and Judge J. E. Ingalls, at once started for Canada, At Buffalo they learned that Cowles had left for Toronto, where he put up at the Queen’ Hotel with his daughter. The pursuing party at once proceeded to Toronto and put up at the Rossin House. They at once prepared to sub- mit the case to the courts, Cowles placed his case in the hands of Dalton }*eCarthy, Q.C.. but before the case could be brought befor: the snore courts he left hurriedly for Mon. tre the husband's S00 ——-—_— A Lee-Grant Monument.

THE CROSS-TOWN ROAD. UNDER THE DOME, The Bill Reported to the House Re- | The Senate Finance Committee and Its tains S Street in the Route. ‘The House District committee bas approved the Cross-town railroad bill, aud contrary to all expectations 8 street has been retained as the cross street to be taken, The bill as reported provides for a street railroad propelied by cable, electric or Pneumatic power over the following route: Beginning at 35th and U streets, West Washing- ton, thence along U street to 29th street. thence along 29th street to Q street, thence along Q street, crossing Rock Creek on a bridge to be built by the said railway company, the same to be maintained as a pub- lie hfare, with good and sufficient car- riage way and foot way, and constructed under the direction and subject tv the approval of the Commissioners of tue District of Columbia, continuing thence in an easterly diroc— tion Boundary street to NS street; thence easterly along S street to Boundary street; thence along Boundary strect to North Capitol street; thence along North Cap- itol street to Massachusetts avenue: the: along Massachusetts avenue to F street north; thence aloug F street to 3d street west; thence along 3d street to Boundary street; thence along Boundary to its intersection with the westerly limit of 8 street, MR. HEARD'S REPORT. Mr. Heard made the report from the com- mittee, in which he says: Work on the Tariff BULL ‘The cotton schedule of the tariff bill formed the basis of action by the republican members of the Senate finance committee this morning. Atlo‘clock it was announced that consideration thereof had been completed and that the changes decided fipon were few and unim- | portant. It was further stated that some mem- bers of the majority of the committee were hopeful of concluding their work on the bill | by tomorrow night, { MORE MONEY FOR THE ADOUSTA POSTMASTER. i The Senate committee on post offices and | post roads today reported favorabiy the bill to | imerease the salary of the postmaster at Augusta, Me., from $3.000 to #3,500a year. | The situation at Augusta is pecnliar. While do- ing an immense business, — compara- tively—the mail shipments’ averaging fifty tons a day—the receipts of the post otice donot indicate the fact. Several publishing houses located there receive in remittances stamps to the amount of more than £250,000 annually, so that they are compelled to pur- | chase stamps for but a sinall fraction of their | shipments. In view of this fact the Postmas- ter ‘General recommended an increase of $500 in the salary of the postmaster and the Senate committee indorsed the recommenda- tion. TRUST COMPANIES AS ADMINISTRATORS. Strenuously opposed to trust companies as Earlier in the session a bill to incorporate a | executors or administrators was the committee Cross-town railway was introdaced and sent | of the Washington Bar Association which to the Commissioners of the District of Colum- bia for report. The bill was much the same as this one, except that it provided for a line across the city on Q street instead of S street, the line of route provided in this bill. The Commissioners returned that bill, sug- gesting certain amendments and favoring its passage when soamended. Theso amendments were incorporated in the bill and it was intro- duced when so amended, and amended farther by substituting S street for Q street and sent to the Commissioners for further report. They returued it, saying they saw no reason to change their former favorable report to the comuittee, but that there appeared to be a very general protest of 8 street citizens against it, Since that time some of these protests have been withdrawn, and some of the citizens who would be served by this line of road h ti- tioned for it. In view of the fact that there are protests against all propositions to build | new lines of street railroads or extend old ones and in view of the further fact that there are not now sufficient cross-town railroad facilities the committee are of the opinion that the bill should pass. AN INFLATION OF CURRENCY. Just What the New Silver Bill, as it Passed the House, Will Do. The silver bill which passed the House Sat- urday will cause an inflation of the silver cur- rency—or, rather, of its representative, silver certificates—to two and a quarter times its present value. The law, as it now stands, com- pels the coinage of $2,000,000 silver dollars per month and permits the coinage of $4,000,000. ‘The minimum amount has not been exceeded since the law went into force. No provision is made for the purchase of bullion except to be coined, The bill, as passed by the House, provides that $4,500,000 worth of silver bullion must be purchased every month, against which certifi- cates shall be issued redeemable in coin, the certificates to have full legal tender qualities— each certificate being as good as a gold dollar, This puts 2,500,000 more money in circula- tion each month than now is issued. The cer tificates, being redeemable in coin, will com- pel the coinage of aconsiderable amount of the bullion purchased, but there is no compul- sion to coin all, and provision is made in the bili for redemption in bullion, upon demand of the holder, at the discretion of the Secretary. This extended recognition by the government of silver as a money metal is expected to en- hance its market value, and a provision is made that when that value shall be #1 for 3714 grains there shall be free coinage of silver. as there now is of gold.
