In fact, it may be said thathe has not yet taken up the matter officially. There arg no applicants for the position, in the ordinary sense of the term, for it bas always been regarded as one of the first principles of judicial ethics that = the-~— aspirants for this, the highest honor that can come to a law- yer in this country, shall not be sought in per- fon. Of course there have been several names suggested to the President through the friends of the aspirants, and more are sure to be re- ceived. In due time there will be aconference between the President and the Attorney General on the subject and then nomination will soon follow. ‘The story that has gained circulation that there were appli- cations on file before Judge Dradley was buried is pronounced absurd and untrue at the White House. ———-—+2+____ MKS, SCHNEIDER'S FUNERAL, The Last Victim of Her Husband's Pistol Laid Away to Rest, Another actin the Schneider tragedy tran- spirtd this afternoon,when the remains of Mrs. Amie Hamlink Schneider, the second victim of the Q street shooting, were laid away at rest at Oak Hill cemetery. The funeral was heid at 2 o'clock at the resi- dence of Col. Hamlink, 1733 Q street. It was intended that the servi should be as nearly private as possible, for the family had expressed a wish that only the and near friends should be admitted. This was a difficult rule to enforce and the young gentlemen who stood at the door had a very hard time indeed. Outside the house were gathered hundreds of people, nuxious to seo all that could be seen, and scores of women, many of them utter strangers, but impelled by morbid curiosity, sought ‘admivsion. Some of them became quite indignant when this was politely refused, ‘The body of the young woman lay in a hand- some black casket in the front drwing room. It was nearly buried beneath the wealth of floral remembrances that had been sent in by friends. She was dressed in a simple gown of white tulle end on the breast Was fastened a smail bunch of violets. Loose flowers were also scattered freely around be- neath the heavy glass plate. The face looked thin and drawn aud there were evidences of the intense suffering that she had undergone before | death came to her relief. The three main rooms on the first floor were filled with the friends and relatives who had wown aul loved the young woman in life and were desirous of paying the last tributes in death ‘The beautiful burial service of the Episcopal church was read by Rev. Dr. Stanger, 2nd Miss Gray, who wes formerly Mrs. Schneiler's Sunday school teacher, sang the hymns ‘Jesus, Lover ofgMy Soul” and ‘carer, My God, to Thee.” ‘The pallbearers were all near neighbors of the Hamlink family and were among the many to show their eympathy with the doubly be- reaved family. ‘They were Mr. F. B. Conger, Capt. Overton, Mr.G@ W. Roby, Mr. McGee, Mr. R. Foster and Mr. Laaier Dunn. The in- terment was made at Ouk Hill beside young Frank Hamlink, who was buried last Wedues- aay. es A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS, Mrs, Russell Says Her Husband is Unfit to Care for Her Child. Mrs. D. W. Russell, whose husband yesterday abducted their little girl from the steps of the residence of Mr. Gibson, the father of Mrs. Russell, an account of which will be found else- where in Tux Stax, this morning took counsel of Messrs. Kalston and Siddons, and the first move was made in the preparation of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus for the child, which was presented to Judge Montgomery today, The petition states that she was mar- ried May 9, 1888, and she has two children, one of three years and one of twelve months; that prior to February 8 her husband treated her with cruelty. Tho petition alleges also that he is a man of dissolute habits, and that as he failed to support her and the children she went to her mother's. She charges that yesterday the husband by force took the child Edna from her mother's and that he 1s not a fit_person to have control of achild of such tender years. She asserts that her father and mother are willing to take care of her and the children. She therefore prays a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was ordered to issue by Justice Montgomery returnable forthwith. pence oad Afmy Orders, ‘The boards of officers convened at the places hereinafter specified for the examination of officers to determine their fitness for promo- tion are dissolved, viz: War Depart ment, Washington, D.

This com- pany asked to cross this bridge when they ap- plied for a charter, and failing in this they ac- cepted a charter via or near the Three Sisters. ‘They have Lad plenty of time to build n bridge, but have not turned a stone. They have, how- ever, commenced to lay a track connecting directly with the Aqueduct bridge and not at all in the direction of the Three Sisters. Ido not believe that they intend to build at the Three Sisters. Ithink that they hope by some heok or crook to continue to use the Aqueduct bridge after October 15 for their electric cars. If Congress sees reason for the temporary use of the bridge let it require this company to furmsh a bond to build the aforesaid bridge at the Three Sisters and vacate the Aqueduct bridge on October 15, 1892. As to the con- venience of the G. A.
