Citizens’ Association— A Committee on Assessments. The shortage of revenues of the District Srowing out of the inequality of assessments was tho subject that occupied most of the time at the regular monthly meeting of the East Washington Citizen Association last night, After the auditing committee had reported that the total collection for the bridge celebra- tion amounted to $2,417.50 and that after all bills had been paid there still remained in the treasury of the association the sum of $394.94, Mr. George Francis Dawson, the president of the association, called for a report of the street committee. INEQUALITIES OF ASSESSMENT. Mr. M. L Weller, as the chairman of this committee, spent some time discussing at Jength the deficit in the revenues of the Dis- trict and the inequality of assessment, and gave several instauces, illustrating his re- marks. He said among other things that the land held for speculative purposes inside of the city, as well as the county, was vastly un- derestimated in the assessors’ returns and the same might be said of improved property used for business purposes in the northwest. He urged that great benefit would follow the tablishment of a permanent board of assess- ment. He claimed that an equalization of as- sessments would increase the revenues of the District by a sum of at least $1,000,000 without increasing the rate of taxation or increasing the valuation of the residence portion of the community, which, he asserted, was assessed from 60 to 70 per cent of its value, whereas land held for speculative purposes was vastly underrated in value. One of the illustrations he gave was apiece of property he had pur- chased over three years ago for 75 cents per foot and which was assessed last year for 12 cents per foot. Another conspicuous corner for which @1 would be refused, ho said, was assessed for only 4 cents per foot. County property selling for €3,000 per acro was, be said, a »@ wt $150 per acre. Secretary Sperry moved that a committee of seven, to be known as the committee on ass ment and valuation, be appointed to examine the subject thoroughly and report at the next meeting of the association. This committee was not named last night, the president promis- ing to appoint it during the recess, IMPROVEMENT OF GOVERNMENT RESERVATIONS. Mr. Weller spoke of the squares in the east- ern section of the city at the intersection of streets aud avenues, which properly belonged to the United States, aud which had never been improved, while in the northwestern section of the city similar squares were in a high state of improvement. He referred particularly to the circle at the entrance of the new bridge, which he stated was a disgrace to the United States, This reservation, he said, did not belong to the Commissioners and they had no jurisdiction whatever over it. He recommended that a committee be appointed to wait upon Col. Ernst, the commissioner of public buildings and grounds, and call bis attention to the ex isting state of affairs, He was sure, he said, that the colonel, who was always fair to every section, would look with favor on their request and improve these reservations. A committee will be appointed to call upon the colonel at an early day. i HURDLE RACE ACCIDENT. The Closing Races at Benning’s Yes- terday—Entries for Today.

To the Editor of Tae Evexrxe Sar: You seem to think that the Maryland regis- tration law is very unjust because it prevents men who hold oftice under the United States government from going home to vote; also that it will prevent parties from investing in the suburban towns in Maryland. Ican’t see wherein it is any more unjust to deny tho right of franchise to citizens of the states who come here and have the benefit ot office without paying taxes here than it is to deny 1t to citizens of the District who don't hold office and do pay taxes. Can you? N y itshould affect the sub- urban towns. Citizens who reside there will be on the same footing as citizens of the Dis- trict. Senator Ingalls says if we don't like it we can go elsewhere, and of course the Ma land office holders here have the same privi- lege. Besides, if the law results in the defeat of Mudd it will not be an unmixed evil so far as the District is concerned, though I presume his opponent, if elected, will do no more to relieve us from grade crossings than Mudd did; but, if so, he will not insult our citizens, as did Mudd. In that case we will at least have the satisfac- | tion of being sacrificed by a gentleman who won't “add iusult to injury,” as the other did. A Cirizen or D.C. — Judge Alvey’s Decision. To the Editor of Tue Evenrxo Sta: I, a8 a legal resident of the District, believe the decision rendered by Judge Alvey at Hagerstown to be just, and think it ought to be enforced in every instance. It is an outrage on the people of this city—I mean those who belong here—that these people are accorded a privilege that secures to them laries, an easy life and comforts, denied the sidents of the District, ‘They leave their states, bringing their fami- lies with them, they make their homes here, many of them own their homes here, their children attend our schools, the ters and aunts,and cousins all are in office, in seventy- out of every one hundred their every interest is right here in this city. The majority do not care the value of # brass farthing for the states from which they hail; with few exceptions they do not intend again residing there, and this flinsy pretense, behind x | Which they have shielded themselves for years, of being voters in and residents of such and such a state ought to be abolished. I contend that a mau doing business and having bis howe in New York has as much right to @ vote in Philadelphia, not being a citizen of Pennsylvania, as any of those who do business and have their homes here. You say in Ihursday’s Stax, "It cannot be that Senator Gormen’s might to vote in Maryland turns upon the question whether be has moved his family to his Washington house or left them in a Maryland home. Aud what is true of the Senator is true of the humbiest office holder residing at the capital. ‘This, in my opinion, isa very singular view to take on this question. Senator Gorman is vent here by the state of Maryland to work for and attend to the interests of that state. He is looked upon, spoken of and thought of as representing that state and would not be af. fected by Judge Alvey's decision. It is the is dividual who “pulls up stakes” and leaves the state for his own personal benefit, the in- dividual who isof no use to the state, who makes bis home and spends bis money out of et claims it as his home, because, by so doing, he is enabied to retain his soft position in some government department that pays him three ines as much as he would be worth im so) rivate establishment, Itis this class tha i ision is aimed at and he is right “every time.” WAT.

The suit brought by Mr. Hecksher against Messrs. Crosby and Burns, solicitors, to recover the sum of £2,000 came up for hearing in Lon- don yesterday. The plaiutiff, who is an Amer- ican, went to England with a power of attor- ney to sell two Cincinnati breweries, If the company was formed within sixty days the solicitors were to pay him the sum of £2,000. which had been deposited with them by the financial agents of the concern, The company was not formed within the appointed sixty days and therefore the solicitors refused to hand over the money.

The funeral of Mrs. Sinclair, daughter of the LONDON’S GROWTH. It is Quite as Remarkable as That of American Cities. From the Century. We are too frequently disposed to think of the rapid growth of our American cities as merely incidental to the settlement of a new country and to regard the European cities as old and stationary, It is true that their nucle! are ancient, but so far asthe greater part of their built-up area is concerned they are almost or quite as new as the American cities, They, like our own population centers, have grown unprecedentedly in recent decades as the result of modern transportation and industrial sys- tems. Thus London today is five times as large as it was at the opening of the present century. From 900,000 at that time the population of London grew to 1,500,000 in 1830, and by 1855 it d increased to 2,500,000. Since 1855 it has more than doubled. The present sovereign bas witnessed a gain of 200 per cent or more since she began to reign. There are three or four dweliing houses now for every one that was visible at the date of her coronation. In the past 40 years from 2,000 to 2,500 miles of uew streets have been formed in London. Who, studying the growth of foreign cities,can doubt the continued growth of our own? London isnot an exception. Ail the other great towns of England have grown up as if by magic within this century. The same statement appiies to those of the continent, Paris is five times as large as it was in the year 1800; Berlin has grown much more rapidly than Paris; Vienna has expanded mar- velously since 1840. An examination of the causes which have built up these European centers easily justifies the judgment that none of our 20 leading American cities has begun to Approach ite maximum size, SUICIDES IN PARIS. The Regular Autumn Epidemic Has Set In. From Public Opinion, For some time past as many as twelve to eighteen suicides have been registered daily at the prefecture of police. On Sunday the total was eleven. In tho Rue Berthe a woman suffer- ing from a nervous affection put an end to her existence by swallowing tincture of iodine. A diamond merckant named Cohen in the Ruo Maubeuge blew out his brains for reasons which have not been ascertained. An old man of siaty, in the Rue St. Martin, committed suicide in a similar fashion. In the Kue des Bouletsa man hanged himself, leaving behind him a paper on which was written: “No work, no bread. I have not eaten anything for two days. Enough of this. En route for the tur- nip field.” Starvation also induced a widow in the Rue de Pualikao to suifoc te herself and daughter, aged thirtcen, with charcoal fumes. ‘Two young women drowned themselves in the Seine, and an individual in the Rue des Py- renees poisoned himself with laudanum. The annual statistics show that an epidemic of sui- cides takes placo regularly at the commence- ment of spring and autumn. Last April the morgue was occasionally filled to overflowing with the bodies of suicides. Drowning in the Seine is most generally selected in spring; in autumn preference is given to asphyxiation by means of charcoal fumes. es A STARTLING ASSERTION. A New York Police Captain Said to Have Received $70,000 by Blackmail. Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby delivered an ad- dress before the Baptist ministers’ conference in the Tabernacle on 2d avenue in New York yesterday on ‘‘Ministers’ Relations to Muni- cipal Reform.” He said that people who have not brushed up against our officers think that the matter has been exaggerated. but he could say that the worst said against them is not bad enough. The doctor said that he could take a day in telling of the gross immorality and cor- ruption that exists in the city through Tam- many misrule. “I know,” said he, “of # police captain, for a commissioner told me, who received $70,000 last year in blackmail from the saloon keepers in his precinct. I can prove this if it is doubted. These moneys, so infamously gained, go to support the oligarchy that runs this city. Tecan tell you that even the judges are open to bribes.” ee eee GREAT ENGINEERING, The Immense Lines of Railway in Sibe- ria and China Under Way. From the Imperial Review. ‘The great work on hand is the Siberia rail- way, which will link St. Petersburg with Viadi- vostock. The IUustrire Zeitung, Leipsic, gives a map of the entire surveyedroute. The length will be double that of the line from New York to San Francisco. The journey will take a fort- night. Gen. Annenkoff is the moving genius, He laid the strategic railways toward Germany and Austria and afterward laid the Transcas- pian railway. ‘The railway through Siberia has been surveyed in forty sections and ail is ready, This gives the impulse to railways in China, But much greater works are authorized. First a railway from Pekin, in the northeast, to Hankow, in the center of China, on the Yang- tae-Kiang river, 600 miles from the mouth, The railway, Pekin to Hankow, will be near 800 miles. ‘A railway of almost equal length is au- thorized from Pekin to Chinksung ali along the north, The Chineso government will itself construct the railways, It repudiates two rival schemes: First, by the Rothschilds and Krupp to advance £30,000,000; second, by Jay Gould & Co, to establish a Shanghai-American bank in connection with railway making. A railway right across the South American continent will shortly be finished. ————+e-—__ Stri ge Case of Somnambulism. A very strange case of somnambulism oc- curred at Dunbar, Fayette county, Pa., Tues- day night. Mrs, Montgomery, 4 widow living on 2d avenue, was awakened by a knock at the door and inquired what was wanted. Receiv- ing no reply, and as the knocking continued she became frightened, thinking, perhaps, that it wasa visit from robbers, She ran upstairs, got a revolver. fired threo shots out of the win- dow and called loudly for Mr. Smith, a neigh- bor, that robbers were breaking in her ie Mr. Smith, hearing the shots and the lady call- ing. ran to the rescue.

Y., is intensely worked up over the act of Sarah McMullen in throwing Delia Brown and Nellie Connors from a sixty-five-foot r way bridge last Friday night. There is no abatement in the excitement there over the terrible tragedy. The people are gathered in groups talking over the horrible details, and business is almost entirely suspended. Little Delia, whoso escape from an instant death is looked upon as miraculous, is suffering in- tensely from her injuries, The chances of her recovery are favorable unless unlooked for changes set in, but the physician fears her brain is injured and he does not yet know the extent of her internal injuries, which are serious, Little Nellie Connors was buried yesterday morning. St. Thomas’ Catholic Church was crowded, The remains of the poor little vic- tim rested ina plain white cofiin with an ap- propriate inscription on the lid. ‘The inter- ment was in the Catholic cemetery, Mrs. Con- nors is distracted with grief. She fainted be- fore leaving the house to go to the church yes- terday morning. The coroner's inquest, adjourned from Satur- day, was continued yesterday morning. Simon Brown, father of Delia, testified to rescuing Sarah McMullen, the murderess, from the mill- dam. When he pulled her out she wanted to plunge in again. she denied to him that she knew anything about the children. He recalled the finding of the two children under the rail- road bridge, from which they had been thrown, He repeated the story Delia told him about the terrible struggle between Sarah and the chil- dren. He said that Delia stuck to her first story and had reiterated repeatedly what she said at his house as soon as she was able to | talk, He always considered Sarah McMullen as rational and knew her always as being kind and gentle, An hour's recess was then taken. When the inquest was resumed John Meahl testified about the finding of the children. Delia was moan- iug and was covered with blood. She said that Sarah had thrown them over the bridge. Other witnesses also testified as to the finding of the children and to Deiia’s statement. Constable Burns went to Baffalo to bring Sarah McMullen. to await the verdict. ee Caused by a Telegrapher’s Mistake. The New York and Pacific express train from tho south on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad, while running at the rate of forty miles an hour, was switched off the main track yesterday afternoon near Syracuse, N.Y., and collided with a coal train standing onasiding. The locomotives and a number of cars were wrecked. The fireman and engineer of each engine were caught in the wreck and ground to death. Their names were James Doyle of Scranton, Pa, ; Myrtie Fernand, his fire- man; Michael J. Burke of Syracuse, and Jere- miah Lee, his fireman, W. H. Copenali of Oswego, Geo. Derby of Cortland and Josiah Kimball of Oswego were all injured, thongh not fatally. Michael Tierney was also badly hurt. Mrs. Julia Corcoran of Buffalo had her spine hurt and two ribs broken, The other passengers were not hurt, The accident was caused by a mistake of M. J. Clark, the railroad telegraph operator. Robert Garrett’s Sudden Miness. A special to the New York Press from Balti- more says: While Robert Garrett, the ex-pret dent of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, was at the Maryland Club yesterday afternoon call- ing on an old acquaintanco he was suddenly taken with a fainting spell, due to heart dis- ease, and sank to the ground unconscious, He en to his residence near-by, where re- storatives were applied, which brought him back to consciousness. His friends are very much alarmed at his condition. + Nearly Sawed in Two, but Will Live. On Thursday last William Minick, employed at Head’s saw mill, ten miles from Corning, N. Y., was at work in the pit underneath the rapidly revulving saw. In rising he was caught by the saw. The saw cut through his flesh to the ribs, from the right shoulder across to the left, and cut off the left arm at the shoulder. Dr. H.C. May was called, and he was surprised to find that there had been no flow of blood from the terrible wound, and the patient was apparently suffering but little. Examination revealed the fact that the flesh on the edges of the wound was cauterized and the exposed ends of the blood vessels seared so that they were closed. The only ex- planation the pbysicians can make of tho strange condition is that tne circular saw was highly heated, it having just passed throngh a log, and its heat seared tho wound 60 that no flow of blood followed. But for that Minick would have died from loss of blood before the doctor could have reached him. As itis, there seems tobe no doubt of his recovery. Not a Blow for Seven Rounds. The fight between the Black Pearl of Minne- apolis and Kelleher of Boston for a purse of $1,000 occurred last night at the Twin City Athletic Club rooms in Minneapolis and was awarded to the Pearl in the twentieth round, There was very little fighting done. In the first seven rounds not a blow was struck, In | the eighteenth there was a rush made by the | Pearl and in the breakaway Kelleher claimed he had been fouled and seriously injured in a sensitivo part of the body. While bending over he was hit in the stomach, Both fouls were disallowed, In the twentieth the Pearl chased Kelleher around the ring, and hitting him a light blow, Kelleher went down. He was car- ried to his room and physicians called, who certified to tho truth of his condition, coe New Method of Heating Cars. The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com- pany are just finishing, at their shops at Read- ing the fitting up of nine of its finest locomo- tives with steam apparatus for heating passen- ger cars.

Itis the @ and in- tention of the company to comply with the ular demand to abolish the car stove, and = this, as in every other particular, cater to the comfort and secure the safety of the tray- eling public. Another Shot at Stanley. Andrew Jameson, the brother of Lieut. Jameson, who died of starvation while with Stanley's rear guard, makes a strong point against the latter in a letter printed in London esterday. He says: “Mr, Stanley is now deal- ing with dead men, who cannot answer him exept by journals, letters and other mem- oranda left behind them. Were either Major Barttelot or my brother still alive Mr. 81 would long ere this have been forced to his statements under oath in a court of justice, when they would have taken a precise form and been, once for all, declared true or false. Now hoe cannot be placed under oath, but is free to make to against which there is Seen Leese a bar of public opinion.” Jay Gould and his son Georgé arrived in New York on Sunday from their trip over the memeongoiesort apaaaia The party has been away about two and has come back of encouraging views as to the future of part of the country, ; E | for 40 cents a pennyweight.
