Lewis Barber, a colored laborer who has been employed by Contractor Frank L. Hanvey for the past ten years, left his home in Goat alley this morning and went to work on the Coch- ran Hotel building,in course of erection, corner of 14th and K streets northwest, and an hour later his family received the sad intelligence that he was dead. His death was the result of an accident at the building where he was at work, ani, judging from the statements made by the men about the building, the accident was the result of Barber's own carelessness. The breaking of the elevator guy ropes was what caused the ac- cident and Barber's jumping upon the ele- vator caused the break. The building is seven stories high and the elevator runs from the bottom to the top of the THE TWELFTH STREET SHOOTING. An Examination Waived and Le Cointe Held tn $1,500 Rail for the Grand Jury. This morning in Judge Miller’s court when the 12th street shooting case was called for trial tif spectators crowded to the front to hear every word that was said and get @ look at those who figured in the case. George Le Cointe, the prisoner, was brought pp from jail, where he has lived since the shoot- ing. Prison fare agreed with him, for he looked well and hearty and presented s much better appearance than he did soon after his arrest. When Mr. Mullowney, for the prosecution, called Judge Miller’s attention to the case the defendant's counsel, Mr. Campbell Carrington, was not in court. Bailiff Hooe was sent for been summoned in the case, including Mrs. Le Cointe, the wife, and Grace Eaton. were in one of the ante- structure. Itis used for hauling brick and mortar. When the elevator is read todescend signal the engineer. If there is nothing but building material on the elevator one pull of the bell is the signal, but if there is « passenger on it the bell is pulled several times in that the engineer may let it down slowly. ‘This time only one signal was given and after the elevator had started Barber jumped three or four feet to the elevator. . ‘HE FELL NINETY FEET. The weight of Barber's body tilted the ele- vator and one end of it struck against » piece of scantling. Barber did not have hold of the cross piece, and there being no protection around the elevator he fell from it and was precipitated a distance of more than ninety feet to the basement of the structure. Barber fell on his head and received only a slight external bruise, but his skull was crashed. Wuen picked up he was unconscious, although his heart was still beating. He was examined by @ physician and was soon afterward re- moved to the Emergency Hospital in the first precinct patrol wagon, but when the hospital. was reached Karber was dead. His body was then removed to the morgue and the coroner notified. ee FINAL ACTION TAKEN, Police Lieut. Boteler Dismissed the Force by a Unanimous Vote. The Commissioners late yesterday afternoon in board session decided to dismiss Lieut. Bote- ler from the police force. This action was due toa result of the recent trial of the lieutenant by the trial board on a charg of intoxication while on duty. As printed in Taz Star some days ago, the Commissioners virtually decided to dismiss Lieut. Boteler about two weeks ago, and were only holding back for the arrival of Commissioner Doyglass to learn his views on the advisability of allowing the lieutenant to and silk, at popular prices. . = Toruam’s, 1231 Pa. ave. n.w.

To the Editor of The Evening Star. So much talk about bicycles is apt to become monotonous, but nevertheless it is due the wheelmen of the city, who observe the laws on that subject, that justice be given them. All the complaints come from non-riders, but it must not be thought that they commit no of- fenses. Ihave seen people before crossing a street look well out for teams, but pay no atten- tion to bicycles, which are entitled to the same Fights as other vehicles. I have seen them stand in the street and dare you to ride into them. I bave seen them wolk down in the mid- dle of the street when they could have had teu feet of sidewalk, and should s bicycle, which ean only run i the roadway, come near them, they pour out a tale of woe in the newspapers. A few days ago a complaint was published in ‘Tux Stax of bieycles scaring horses and not giving them room on the roads. Why, there is uot one driver in ten who will turn out six inches for a wheelman. My life has been sey- dangered by “road hogs,” whose ost cases know more than they do. No rider will run into a person intentionally, for he always gets the worst of it. _——— | these positions as well as for the promotions resign. At the board meeting yesterday after- noon it was unanimously decided to dismiss the lieutenant and an order to that effect was accordingly issued. Lieut. Boteler is one of the oldest members of the police torce, and at the time of his trial Wasan applicant for retirement. His successor will be chosen from among the sergeants, of whom the following are prominent candidates: Sergts. MeCathran, Boyle, Brosnan, Mulhall and Byrnes, with the chances largely in favor of the first named. ———_———_—_ THE POLICE FORCE, Changes That Will Be Made Under the Last Appropriation Aet. ‘Two weeks from now the new appropriation bill goes into effect, and under its provisions there will be some changes made in the police force. The bill provides for a net increase of ten men, five of each class. The ten appoint- ments will be made in the first or $75 class, and there will be five promotions from the first to the second class. These promotions will be made according to merit so far as possible. Another provision in the bill gives the force an increase of eight mounted men, and for there will be many candidates, who must neces- sarily be from the ranks. ‘The change that will attract the most atten- ion is that in the detcetive corps, where an jon of four men is provided for. ‘There are now eight men on the list as detectives, and the act provides for twelve. For these positions there are already many spplicants, including citizens of Washington who have no army or navy record, but unless the decision of the court holding such appoint- ments to be valid is definitely determined upon by the Ist of Jnly the appointment of citizens will probably not take place. This is a question that is just now interesting the District Commissioners and the police officials, and if the controller decides not to take an’ ay @ appointment of citizens is Iikely to be made. PP If, however, that official should take the case to the higher courts, as ix the present im- ression, the matter of appointing citizens will further delayed. In connection with the changes in the de- tective office it is stated that Detective Wheeler is to be retired on $50 per month and his re- tirement will make room for another officer who would like to be a detective and it would also make a vacancy on the force. gushes ee ‘Triduum in Honor of St. Aloysius. ‘The triduum for young men, the second por- tion of the novena in celebration of the tercen- tenary of the death of St. Aloysius, was begun yesterday at St. AloysiusChurch.

Judge Miller Disposes of Them and Lectures Those Under Charge. In Judge Miller's branch of the Police Court today some attention was given to liquor cases involving alleged violations of the liquor law within the one-mile limit of Soldiers’ Home. In one case Mrs. Mary Schweitzer was the defendant, and the charge against her was keeping an unlicensed bar. Her place is cor- ner of 7th and R streets, where her husband conducted business for many years. He died a few months ago and the widow has still con- tinued to conduct the business, Lawyer Cabill was her counsel and Mr. Du- mont was the prosecuting officet. The latter wanted to do only what was just in the matter, and with his consent and at lis suggestion the court accepted a plea of guilty and suspended sentence. In doing so the judge told her that she would have to quit the business within the mile limit; that there was no power on earth that could grant her a license, and if she did get a license from any source it would not be worth the paper it was written upon. Lawyer Oscar Nauck appeared as counsel in the next case. William G. Brown was the defendant. He was charged with doing busi- ness on Brightwood avenue just north of the city limits. Mr. Lrown stated that he had closed his nd given up the business. Under these ns the court adopted the seme course the other case. “I suppose we will now have a breastwork of saloons just outside the limit,” remarked Judge Miller. "‘*This is a wise law,” he added, for the benefit of those charged, “‘and it will be rigid]; enforced. Its enactment was the couuty’s gain and the city’s loss. “Are you ready for trial?” asked the court of Lawver Shillington, who appeared in Patrick case. “Iam always ready,” was the counsel's re- mee. “Pitheehy’s place is also in. the mile limit, the witnesses called could not tell that Sheehy even had ice water in his place, and the charge was dismissed. oie COURTS.

Fisher and Vernon Baily, members of the Death valley expedition, are about to return to the valley from Keller. Dr. Merriam sends them back to watch the migration of certain birds ‘that live in that torrid region during the sum- mer. As the weather is now intensely hot, the trip will be very difficult. E. D. Nelson and Frederick Fountain of the same expedition have just returned from a two months’ trip tothe Grapevine mountains. They report having seen a strange trail through the Saline valley of a man on horseback. ‘They saw the same trail in the Mesquite valley. From the strange wanderings of the horseman it was evident that he was either insane from thirst or trying to elude the naturalists. The rail would su emerge from a growth brush on an Indian trail, reverse it wfew hune dred yards and then leave it again. The lone wanderer came on the trail from one spring to nother, on which he traveled within a few hundred feet of one of the springs. A small hole was found in one place whére he had en- dearored to get water by digging witha pointed Every effort to find the maker of the tracks failed.“ Gen. Greely has come to the relief of the MoClery signal service hermit in Death valley, and has intructed Mr. McKerson, the local , to vendaman to McClery's Assistance. gq NOW MES. KIPPEL HAS THE CHILD. A Wife Outwits a Husband With Whom the Courts Had Sided. ‘The Kippel habeas corpus case in Baltimore for the possession of a child hus taken a new turn. After having the custody of the child awarded to him Tuesday, the father carried off the child while the mother was crying in court. That night Mr. Kippel was induced to hold a conference at his father-in-law’s house, where it was finally agreed that Mr. Kippel should have the child for a trip of ten days to Brook- lyn. On his return, husband, wife and child were to go to Georgia. Mrs. Kippel then took the child u; ‘irs to dress bor for the trip. After eserves wagstchoed time Mr. Kippel came to the conclusion that something was wrong. He found that mother and child had ~ se him the slip. Detectives | 7; have been employed to look them up. It is be- lieved that the mother has either returned to Georgia to throw herself on the mercy of the Fulton county court or that she is in hiding in some small town awaiting advice from her Georgie lawyer. ema with all modern yTove teanier leaven boa!

From the New York World. Loxpox, June 18.—Mr. Parnell, when inter- Togated today by a correspondent as to the rumors of his approaching marriage, betrayed some annoyance at the circulation of such re- Ports, and assured his visitor that they were utterly untrue. He did not wish to discuss the matter any further than to say that so far as the statement that he was tomarry Mrs. O'Shea soon was concerned, it was without an atom of foundation. To the intimation that this left the question as to his reported intentions still open Mr. Parnell made no reply, but diplo- maticaily and courteously changed the subject of conversation to one less personal. He stated in the course of the interview that he was confi- dent of success in the coming election in County Galway to fill the vacancy caused by the death of The O'Gorman Mahon, and that the general outlook for Ireland was improving in every respect. sot, The Clover Club in Chicago.
