AND THE REDUCTIONS DENOUNCED IN STRONG TERMS—THE NEED OF 4 NEW NAVE YARD BRIDOE—LEGISLATION DEEMED NECESSARY FOR THE EASTERN sxCTION. There was indignation stamped in the face of every member of the East Washington Citizens’ Association, which met last night in regular monthly session. It was evident before the meeting was called to order that the District “ppropriation bill would be the principal topic | discussed, and it was informally talked over at least an hour before President Babson rapped for order. The usual routine having been completed re- ports from committees were called for. THE NAVY YARD BRIDGE. House bill 5443 and Senate bill 2125, author- izing the construction of a bridge overthe Ana- | costia river at or near the site of the present Navy Yard bridge. was reported upon by the | Committee ou streets, avenves and alleys. It recommended its approval. The present Navy Yard bridge, the report says, was built in 1573, and at that time was amply large for the travel over it. Since then the population of the District has more than quadrupled and the bridge now is utterly in- adequate for the purposes intended. In high tioods the water flows over the top of the | bridge, impeding, if not stopping entirely a: large portion of the travel, while the propos bridge will be raised from four to twelve feet ‘tures, frames and wall papera B.

The committee to draft proposed legislation submitted {ts report upon the resolution intro- duced February 18 relating to the removal of the marine barracks so as te provide for the removal of the uaval monument to square 927. The following amendment to the bill was pre- sented and adopted: “That the naval monument now standing upon the circle at the western entrance of the Capitol grounds from Penneylvania avenue shail be removed and placed on the said square or park, and for thie purpose @2,000 or so much thereof'as may be necessary is hereby appro- priated from any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropriated.” The report was re- referred to the committee, with instructions to press the matter before the Commissioners and Congress. ; ‘This committee also submitted a report upon the resolution to devise a prover course of «ction upon the establishment of @ naval school shlp. All that was necessary, the report stated, wed | Was to ask of the Commissioners to request of Congress an addition to the District appropria- tion Lill of a clause merely extending the act of June 20, 1874, relating to marine schools to the port of Wasiington and pustpouing the ques- tion of appropriation until the school ship shall have been called for and the Commis- sioners could make au estimate. ‘The report was concurred in ang tho committee on schools directed to communicate its uction to the Commissioners. There is no proposed improvement for the Dis- trict which is more urgently needed than a new Navy Yard bridge. report was also submitted as to the necessary toward the removal of the stone wall on the north side of tween North Capitol street and Del nue northeast. The report sets forth that the committee hud called upon Capt. Rossel! and laid the matter before him. A memorandum was left with the secretary to bring before the board at its earliest convenience. In consider. ing the first of these reports Mr. George H. Gray of Anacostia spoke of the interest th citizens’ committee of Anacostia felt in bridge project. He was glad to learn that East Washington Citizens’ Association had taken hold of the matter. Eoth reports were adopted. Mr. A. G. Bliss called up for consideration business of the Inst meeting ive to the lighting of East Capitol street by elec After an informal discussion it was referred,upon motion of Mr. Hubbell, back to the committee with instructions to confer with the committee on legislation with a view of pressing the needs of an_extension of the ‘ht service along East Capitol street THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. M. I. Weller, from the committee on as- sessment and apportionment of appropriations, said he bad been dumfounded in reading in the public press the report of the fathers on the bill on the Districtappropriation bill. They might be Letter called stepfathers, and very hard ones at that. Surely they had not the interest of the District at heart. Last year when Congress cut the Commissioners’ esti- mates they hada good excuse. The District could only furnish a certain sam and Congress of course could only appropriate a similar amount. The Commussioners, when they wer appealed to, consoled the people with the re- mark that next year when the board assessors made the new assessment would have a larger amount of revenue. was the result. The revenues had i and from present ap nees a sur- as about to be created. Hie took up the Congressional Kecord of yesterday and severely scored Representative Compton for his marke, charging the Commissioners with e excuse, but coming. represented almost a portion of the District d should know its needs be did not know what to think. Mr. Compton had alway posed asa friend of the District and recent bauquet put himself on record as being in favor of liberal appropriations by Congress to the District. Returning to his remarks, charging extravagance, Mr. Weller said they were ridiculous and he detied the gentleman to show asingle item in the estimates presented to the Secretary of the Treasury whica was not fully jusufied by the needs of the District, COULD NOT BE EXTRAVAGANT. Then again it was impossible for the Com- missioners to be extravagant in the expendi- tures for the reason that their line of conduct was specifically marked out by Congress and could not be otherwise expended. Mr. Weller said further that there is not a department in the District building whick is sufticiently sup- ied with the necessary fores to properly con- Mice the attics of tie District, and: maersover, the salaries paid the clerks they have are of the most penurious. ‘Taking up the appropriation bill he discussed the several items at length and pointed out the Great injustice that would be done to the peo- le of the District if the preseut appropriation [ek tecemeaine. He retcsred Gyectlly ts the appropriation for street improvements, which was ridicujously small. East Washin; tou suffered, but the poor people were the ones who felt this class legislation keenest. They were the ones who would suffer in more ways than oue. The rich people Lad their streets all improved; the poor citizens who owned their little homes would have to wait for sew- ers, sidewalks, streets, water and light. But the most important feature was that relating to the workingman. Statistics showed that fully 90 percent of all mouey expended upon street improvements went to pay iaborers. Congress in cutting down these estimates struck a blow at the workingman, and he wondered what ex- cuse they would offer when they went back to their constituents for stabbing the working- mab—the ones who elected them. A POINT MADE. After discussing the bill Mr. Weller created quite a stir by declaring that the position as- sumed by Congress in claiming that the Dis- trict should pay more than the amount appro- priated by Congress was an illegal one. He would show that later on. Such legislation that they proposed was class legislation. ‘They bad no right tocreate a wurplua. He read from the organization act of June 11, 1878, wherein it was provided that Congress ‘should appro- Priate 50 per cent of the approved estinaate tue remainder to be collected by taxation. ‘Th section referred to reads: * * Congress ‘Appropriate the amount of 60 per centum thereof, and the remaining 50 per centuin of such approved estimates shall be levied and assessed upon taxable property. * * ©" If Congress appropriated =1,000,000 the Commissioners had no right to tax the citi- zens of the District more than half that amount. He hoped the association would instruct his committee to lay the facts before the Senate committee. On a vote the association unanimously adopted the resolntion, and the chair directed Mr. Weller accordingly. GUADING THE MARKET SPACE. The chairman of the committee on public parks and spaces submitted @ report upon the resolution directing it to inquire into the expe- diency of grading and improving the public space around the Eastern Market and engine house No. 8, and the erection thereon of sheds for the protection of the stands of persons com- from the country report says that the committee finds that the market house grounds are ungraded, poorly kept and unsightly, and that in some the earth washes from the banks entirely covers the sidewalks; and rotwithst the fact that the citizeushave great interests in the matter of easy aud proper facilities to purchase | freshly gathered farm and garden produce, no | proper provisions have ever been made for [farmers or truck ners to exhibit their | produce for sale in the market building uor on the grounds connected therewith.

On @ vote the association decided not to adopt the suggestion. : ‘Lhe meeting then adjourned. USING GARBAGE FOK FERTILIZING. The Result of an Investigation by Health Office Inspectors. Mr. Benjamin F. Peters and Sanitary Inspec- tor Welch, to whom were referred complaints about the alleged failure of the garbage con- tractor to remove the garbage outside the Dis- trict limits, as published in Tuesday's Star, made the investigation ordered by Health Offi- cer Hammett and yesterday they made th report to the health officer. The report is as follows: “In compliance with your instructions an in- spection of the low grounds on the east side of the Potomac from Giesboro’ Point toShepherd’s Landing, within the District of Columbia, with a view to ascertain if nuisance is created by use of garbage asa fertilizer by the farmers and market gardeners of that section, has been made. “The complaints of John Scrivener. who Givep his address as Anacostia. D. C.. and D. . Hurley, agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, stationed at Shepherd's Landing, relative to odorsarising from fart deposited in the vieiuity of Giesboro’ by contractors, have been investigated and the following facts elicited: “he country bordering on the Potomac from the Eastern branch to Shepherd's Landing, opposite Alexandria, within the District of Columbia, for some’ distance back from the shore consists of low grounds very sparsely Populated and used principally by the owners and tenants for market garden purposes only, from which the cities of Washington and Georgetown are ina large measure supplied Pith ‘vegetables, They ‘represent that ferti- izers must be had for this purpose and, in con- pection with stable manure, they use garbage to propagate and grow our vegetables. A small quantity of this gurbage is furnished by the contractor to the farmers and truckers. Take one case, for mstance. During the past month two scow loads were delivered to Mr. Victor Beyer, who owns and operates a market garden of thirty-five acres acrows the railroad from the cottage occupied by the agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Hailroad Company, who bas but re- cently been appointed, or rather transferred, to thi. place and whe is the principal _com- plainant. Inquiry failed to show the where- abouts of the other complainant, Mr. Joba Serivener. “The following named gentlemen, resi- dents of the surrounding country, were inter- viewed. They state that they have resided for Years in this locality, a majority of them using the garbage as afertilizer witnout causing sick- ness in their familes, viz: Messrs. H. 5. Nal- ley, J. H. Roland, Mames Beyer, Victor Beyer, John F. Sundy, John 8. Ring, George B. Penn, W. Simmons, H. B. Sweeney, W. E. Hayes, 8. H. Wright ‘and A. T. Grimes, as weil as the manager of the summer resort at Giesboro’. “Their statements, made individually, and emphatically given’ in presence of witnesses, show that no deleterious effect to their health orto thatof the members of their families is experienced by the use of this material on their lands as a fertilizer. Some odor is gen- erated during transit from the scows to the jand of the gardeners, to which no objection is made by the parties interested ingraising the vegetables and who are the permanent in- habitants of this segtion. “These persons also unite in saying that it is only during the winter season that they utilize the garbage to enrich their ground. “During this inspection, which took several hours’ time of the officers, nothing was ob- served which could be termed under the health ordinances as nuisances injurions to health. “In connection with this report it would be proper to say that ithas been the practice of the health department to grant permission to the contractor to deliver a limited quantity of garbage to the people along the Potomac be- tween the points heretofore meationed. * “Fi inte of the persons men- number whose names were not ascertained we do not think that the garbage used in the manner described, if promptly removed from the scows, scattered over the land, piowed and harrowed into the soil, would be more injurious to the health of those who choose this ity as their = place then the ordinary manure, poudrette an other fertilizers requited to keep the land in proper condition for agricultural Purposes."

Whisky and jealousy were the canse which led to the commission of a double tragedy yea- terday afternoon. The chief actor was White, the former keeper of questionable re- sorts where rum was dispensed to the lowest classes, and the pulling of the trigger of a pis- tol, with the barrel of the weapon pointed to- ward his own bead, was bis last act on earth. Three shots were fired by the man who was crazed with liquor. One bullet made a hole through his wife's lang, while the last hgliet entered his own brain and caused almost in- stant death. The dead man was known associates as “Reddy” White and but few know him by any other name. REDDY WHITE'S CAREER. 2 He was about forty years old and most of his acquaintances were persons best known in sporting circles, particularly those character- " who engage in sparring y. For several years he was bartender at Rooney's saloon, and while employed there he was arrested on —— Cocag é for which he served time in Upon his return to this city he secured pos! tions in various saloons and then he opened a place for himself on Pennsylvania avenue near the Capitol, where confidence men and bunco- steerers spent most of their time. On account of the bad character of the people who fre- quented this place he was forced to sell out und leave and he subsequently opened a ue between 12th ai ‘this place was no better th first and, acting upon the recommendations of the police, the Commissioners refused him a license and he was finally forced out of the whisky business. THE SCENE OF THE SHOOTING. From there he went to live at No. 463N street, where he had titted up the front room to open business shortly, and it was at thie house that the double tragedy was enacted Yesterday. Five years ago White married Miss Mary Siben, They lad no children, but bad adopted a boy who is about six years old. Be- fore the affair huppened White, his wife and adopted son anda friend named Thomas Mc- Neal were sitting in » room on the second floor. About o'clock the boy asked for a nickel with which to buy some peanuts, boy went out and spent that amount of money which was given him by McNeal, and before he returned White suggested that McNeal go down stairs and bring up some more liquid refreshments. ‘this McNeal did, and when he ascended the steps he saw hisfriend White bold- ing.a revolver im his hand. He bad evidently meant to kill McNeal, as weil as the members of is own family, but as they were sae: gobd friends he said he would not kill him. ;‘Fiem he }- requested McNeal to go down staira, and, got some glasses, which request he was comulgis with when tho report of a pistol startled him. Mra. White screamed, ana following her outcry came another report. MRS. WHITE sHOT. McNeal, who was in the frout room on the lower floor, hurried toward the stairway, when he met Mrs, White, who ran through tne yard to the house of # colored woman named Belle Jobnson. “I'm shot!” she exclaimed. The colored woman left Mrs. White on s sofa and hurried to the office of Dr. William T. Gill and from ther went to the police station. Sergeant McTaggart and several policemen |. hurried to the White residence and inquired for the would-be murderer, but as no one liad ween him leave the premises the officers coticluded that he was still upstairs. The honse wae stir- rounded and Sergeant McTaggart, with: piwt . = started to ascend the steps in.searc! of White. OT AND A FALL. Before he had reached the upper landing he heard @ pistol shot in the room above him and then there was e heavy fall. Not a sound fol- lowed the heavy fall, not even groan, for the bullet from the weapon had struck a vital spot, ag already stated, aud had sent the miscrable man into another world. When Sergeant McTaggart entered the room he found White's body stretched upon the tloor and beneath his head wae the thirty-two- caliber pistol that had done the deadly work. An examination of the body revealed » bul- Jet hole just above the left ear. @ bullet had cleared the skullon the opposite side of ‘his bead and was found on the tloor, THE WOUSDED womax. In the meanwhile Drs. Gill and English hud reached the wounded woman and ascertained that the bullet had pierced her lung. She told the doctors that jerlousy prompted her hue- band’s rash act. ‘On account of her condition the doctors advised her not to excite berself any more than she could help by talking, and after drossing the wound, they had her went to Providence Hospital. While the wound is a serious and dangerous one the doctors do net consider it necessarily fatal and they think she muy recover, After the excitement had subsided the police learned that “‘lieddy” had been ona drunk for some days and he was on the verge of thede- lirium tremens.
