Belief of a St. Louis Physician Who For- merly Attended the Family. Sr. Louis, Mo., April 1.—The Mitchell-Ward murder case at Memphis has led to the issuing of a subpoena to a St. Louis physi cian, Dr. L. F. Comstock, formerly ph: cian to the Mitchell family.

The Venerable Jurist Found Dead im His Bed This Morning. TRE CALM END THAT CAME TO THE OOTOGE= NARIAN—FOUND APPARENTLY IN A PEACEFUL SLEEP—HI8 RECENT ILLNESS—A SKETCH OF ‘HIS CAREER. Chas. D, Drake, the venerable ex-chief jus- tice of the Court of Claims, was found dead in his bed this morning at his residence, 1416 20th street. His death was entirely unexpected. Last night he attended prayer meeting at the Western Presbyterian Church and took part as usual. Returning home he spent an hour or two with his family and retired, seemingly in good health. Dr. Joseph Tabor, who has been Judge Drake's attending physician for the past twenty Years, stated that the justice was attacked with a slight nso of grip three weeks ago, but that his condition was not at any time serious enough to occasion alarm. Last evening Jus- tice Drake walked to the West Prosbyterian Church to attend the services there. He seemed at the time to be better than at any time since the attack of grip. ‘This morning when he was called he did not respd&d, and when his room door was opened it was found that he was dead. In the summer of 1890 Judge Drake was a member of the commission to the Puyallup Indians, Washington, and had since been busily engaged on the work of preparing his report to the Interior Department. FOUND PEACEFULLY SLEEPING IN DEATH. It is doubtful whether the judge himself had any premonition of coming death. He ate heartily at dinner and seemed to be in happier spirits than usual. He walked both ways to and fromhis church. dat the usual hour. This morning clock his aged wile, who occupied the djoiuing room, entered his bed chamber and found him lying as if in peaceful slumber. His face wore @ calm expression and it was only when an attempt was made to arouse him |that the fa truth was forced upon his wife that her — husband, with whom he had spent a married life of nearly fifty years was no more. Medical aid was at ‘once summoncd, but he was past medical aid. The hysician was of the opinion _ that e had been dead about two hours. He there- fore must have died about 5 o'clock. The shock to his wife and to hisdaughter, Mrs. Wes- cott, and to the other members of the household was all the greater because it was entirely un- looked tor. Althoough Judge Drake was withina few weeks of reaching the advanced age of eighty- one, yet he had unusual vigor of both mind and body. He was a great walker and every day when the weather permitted he went out on little excursions through the city. Since Is re- tirement from the Court of Claims in 1885 Judge Drake bas lived here mingling in society tive part im the work of the chureh, of which he was an elder. Funeral services will be held from his late residence, 1416 20th street, tomorrow, at 2 o'clock. " In accordance with a wish expressed in his will, Judge Drake's remains will be cre- mated and the reninins taken to St. Louis for interment. It has not been determined what action the court of claims wiil take upon the death of its former chiet justice. SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. Charles Daniel Drake, lawyer, was born in Oin- cinnati April 11, 1811, and was the son of Dr. Daniel Drake. He received & common school education aud spent a short time at St.Joseph’s College, Ky., and at o military academy at Middletown, Conn. From 1827 to 1830 he was ‘a midshipman in the United States navy and in 1833 was admitted to the bar in Cincinnati, and in 1834 he removed to St. Louis. In 1847 he re- turned to Cincinnati, but in 1850 he again went to St. Louis to practice his profession. In 1859 he was elected a member of the Missouri house of representatives and was conspicuous for his opposition to the secession movement. iin 1863 he was elected to the Missouri stato convention; was a presidential elector in 1864; in 1865 he was a member and vice president of the convention that formed the present con- stitution of Missouri, and in January, 1867, ho was elected a Senator from Misscuri’ for ‘the term ending in 1873, serving on the committees on naval atlairs, Pacific railroad, contingent ex- penses and ordnance. In 1871 he was appointed chief justice of the Court of Claims, from which position he retired afew years ago. Since re- hiding in Washington Chief Justice Drake had been especially active in the affairs of tho Presbyterian church. He wasa leading mem- ber the Western Presbyterian Church. As member of the Washington city presbytery jund as a delegate to the general assembly of the Presbyterian church he had exercised much infiuence in church affairs. He took an i | active part in the recent debates om revision. ‘Judge Drake was a man of strong convic- tions and never hesitated to speak his mind with such force and directness that he was not liable to misun- derstood. As debater he has. won many a hard-fought battle and he was recog- nized as @ power of no ontlinety magnitude. Judge Drake leaves a wife who is over eighty years of azo and one seaghier, Mrs Wescott, who we the sympathy of a circle of friends in tleir affliction. ——_—-—___—_. VIOLATING THE POSTAL Laws.

NO SILVER TALK TODAY Senator Morgan Lets His Resolutions Go Over Until Monda; NOQUORUN IN THE HOUSE The Point Prevents Action On ® Several Measures. THE CENSUS OFFICF INQUIRY. it is to Be Made by the Regular Mouse Committee, THE SENATE, If the multiplicity of petitions presented tn the Sonate were an index of popular feeling on Public questions, the closing of the world’s fair on Sunday and the prohibition of the sale of intoxicants there on all days would seem to take precedence over turiff and silver matters and over all the subjects of legislation which state grangers and labor organizations take under their special cognizance. _Mr. Sherman, in presenting one of these pe- titions tovay: enlled attention to the fact that it was an old-fashioned, bona fide peti- tion, written and pal pad renpected citi- zens of an Chio town, intimating that it was, therefore, more worthy of attention. THE SILVER RESOLUTIONS GO OVER. The resolutions on the silver question that were offered yesterday by Mr. Morgan having been laid before the Senate by the Vice Presi- dent, Mr. Morgan said that he did not wish ig have them taken up for action today and woul = that they should over till Monday. hey accordingly were wed to remain on the table. z THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL. After the transaction of the regular morning | the d business the Indian appropriation bill was taken up, and Senators had the opportunity of offering amendments to it, In a discussion that sprung up involving the allotment of lands in severalty to Indians Mr. Dawes, chairman of the committee on Indian affairs, expressed some views rather antagonis- Mia to tans policy. Mr. Dolph (who had offered the amendment that led to the discussion) expressed his sur- prise at hearing such doctrines from the author of the Dawes bill (a bill on the subject of the allotment of lands to Indians in severalty). If those views were correct Mr. Dolph suggested that Congress had better repeal the Dawes bill and say tbat the government would take care of the Indians as tribes, not as individual land owners. THE HOUSE. ‘The attendance of members in the'House was again meager today, and this fact was empha- sized by Mr. Bailey of Texas, who, without an tagonizing any special measure, made the point that no quorum was present, and several bills that were called up had tobe withdrawn in order to clear the track for the regular business of the House. Mr. Norton (Mo.) was the first gentleman fortunate enough to secure the passage of his favorite measure. It was a bill authorizing th erection of a bridge across the Missouri river ai 8t. Charles, Mo. TO INVESTIGATE THE CENSUS BUREAU. ‘Mr. Catchings (Aiss.), from the committee on rules, reported back the resolution for the ap- pointment of a special committee of seven mem- bers to investigate the chargesmade against the census bureau. Mr. Wilcox (Conn.) said there was no neces- sity tor the creation of a cial committee. ‘The standing committee on the eleventh cen: was abundantly able to conduct the inq) He offered an amendment putting the investi- gation in the charge of that committee. Mr. Enloe thougnt that a special committee could conduct the investigation more satisfac- torily. It was very difficult to secure a quorum of @ large committee of fifteen or thirteen members. Afr. Catchings (Miss.) demanded the previous question, whereupon Mr. Miller (Wis.)arsumed the role of filibusterer, He moved an adjournment, and this being defeated by a vote of 126 to 2, Mr. Kilgore (Tex.), good naturedly voting with Mr. Miller, moved’ for a recess un- til5 o'clock. On this he made the point of no quorum. dir. Catchings called attention to the rule which provided that pending s report from the committee on rules but one motion to adjourn shall be entertained. THE RULES DENOUNCED. Mr. Miller denounced the rules, declaring that the business of the House would be con- ducted better without any rules. The House had spent the time of this session doing nothing. or worse than nothing, allon account of these rules. ‘Mr. Wilcox’s amendment was agreed toand as amended the resolution was adopted. Mr. Enloe (Tenn.) moved that the House go into committee of the whole on the private calendar. TO CLOSE THE TARIFF DEBATE TOMORROW. ‘The motion was antagonized by the members who were desirous of proceeding with the tariff debate. Mr. McMillin (in response to a query from Mr. Burrows) said that it was his inten- tion to ask the House to close the general tariff debate tomorrow at 2 9'clock. Mr. Enloe’s motion was rejected. And then the Suird party essayod the part of' obstructors.

Mr. Cox (Tenn.) spoke in favor of the bill and in general denunciation of the protective system. The majn aisle of the House has become of recent days the favorite place from which gen- tlemen address themselves to the House. and taking this position Mr. McRae (Ark.) in- veighed against what he contended were the abuses resulting from a protective tariff. ALMOST SUFFOCATED. Three Men Nearly Lose Their Lives by Es- caping Gas, Three men came near losing their lives at the Capitol this afternoon by suffocation. Edward Fitzgibbons and Clarence Mills were sent into a vault under the west- ern staircase to repair s gas leak. ‘They uncapped the gas main and then tried to put on another cap, but the gas poured out so suddonly that Fitzgibbons, the man who was handling the cap, was overcome and drop) it. His companion was almost overcome, but made a break for the mouth of the vault, He fell once, but getting a breath of fresh air at the bottom of the floor made another at- tempt, and finally escaped from the vault. His feeble calls for help were answered. Henry W. Taylor, assistant ongincer in the House engine ‘room, —_respo1 and imme- diately dropped into the vault to rescue Fitzgibbons.

Every seat was taken long before the pro- ceedings were begun this morning 1m the trial of Howard J. Schneider for the killing of his wife and more than two-thirds of those present were compelled to stand. The district attorney stated that the government would surely close its case in rebuttal today. It is thought the defense will occupy not less than two days in sur-rebuttal. If such should prove to be the case the arguments before the jury would be begun about Tuesday next. The arguments will occupy at least two or three days, sending the case to the jury Thursday or Friday of next REUBEN ORAY. Reuben Gray, a young colored man, was the first witness called this morning and testified that he knew the defendant and saw him in on Schneider's stable on the 24th of January The district attorney asked the witness if be had not seen the defendant with a pistol there, and if he had not heard the defendant say that every one was down on him and that defendant's mother had threatened to have him (defendant) arrested. The witness was allowed to on! auswerjas to thedefendant having ® pistol. The witness replied that defendant did have a pistol there. The witness stated that the defendant asked him to take the pistol and go with him to Col. Hamlink’s house, assuring witness that if he (witness) should get into trouble he (defend- ant) had mone: him out of it. accompany him. Cross-examined by Judge Wilson, the witness stated that he had worked for the defendant and that the defendant bad accused him of stealing his feed. Witness denied taking the feed and stated that he worked for the defend- trouble about the feed, it to take a better place. Witness had worked for Col. Hamlink after- rd. He had told several ple of having seon the defendant with the pletol and of what fendant had asked him to do. He had mmoned to appear before the district attorney and bad made a statement to him which had been written down. MARY BARRIS, Mary Harris, a young colored woman ving at 1426 Massachusetts avenue, testified that at the time of the shooting she was going down Q strect from 18th on the way home. She said she was about six or eight feet from the parties to the shooting. She eaw the man fall. If yousaw another man do anything just then’ stato what it was, said the district at- torney. We object, quickly said Judge Wilson. The district attorney then made a memoran- dum of what he expected the witness to an- swer, handed it to Judge Wilson and then to the court. Judge Wilson, after reading it—If that isn't tostimony-in-chief I don't know what it is. The court, after reading it and after « moment's reflection, said he would allow the witness to answer, Judge Wilson excepting be- cause the testimony was testimony-ip-ohief and because it was rebuttal of nothing éffered by the defense.

The answer of the witness, which had been anticipated to a certain extent, created the greatest oxcitement among the crowded court Toom, every one leaning forward to catch the answer of the witness. It required the efforts of all the court officers to compel quiet after the witness had answered. Judge Wilson then put the witness through the most rigid cross-examination yet con- ducted by him in the trial. The witness said she first tolé Dr. Crissey’s daughter of what she had seen the next day. She said she was walking right behind the two ladies and the gentleman. She walked out in the street to get past them, when a man came across the street and looked into witness’ face.

Foster, living at 1338 P street, said she knew the defendant and in 1889 bad done some work for him. The cooper gene: | asked the witness if the defendant had not drawn a pistol on her aud threatened to shoot her, but eourt thought that the time was too remote and the witness was excused. The district attorney then stated that he had several other witnesses whose testi- mony was in the same line, but in view of the court's — would not them. Leroy B.

Judge Wilson moved to strike out the testi- timony of the witness on the ground that itwes Properly testimony in chief, but the motion was promptly overruled. 308. W. MATTIXGLY. Jos. W.

What have you been doing asa detective in ‘this case? Anything the district attorney requested me to do. The witness said he had looked for Malone before he came on the stand, but bad not in- quired for Foster at the Capitol until today. EFFECT OF A BULLET OX CLOTR. Dr. Schaeffer, the deputy coroner, was re- called, and said that he had made severai bun- dred examinations of the fiber of cloth for the government and importers, and many exam nations during the last three years of holes made in clothing by pistol bullets. What is the effect of a bullet upén cloth? ‘The hole is generally visible to the eye, and almost invariably the bullet takes out a wad of the cloth and drives the piece before it. ball leaves an irregular hale aud oh! edges of the cloth aze always fiayed. He had exainined the clothes worn by the defendant the night of the shooting, but been unable to find any in- dications of bullet holes in them. Without concluding Dr. Schaeffer's examina- tion a recess was taken at 12:30 until 1:15. After recess the overcoat, undercoat and vest worn by the defendant the night of the shooting were handed to Dr. Schaeffer, who said that he had examined the clothing very id you find idence of @ pistol bullet Did you fin evidence of « pi having pamed through them! i Judge Wilson—We object. ‘The court—On what ds, judge?

For the first time during the present session the Senate district commityee has diviced upon party lines. Heretofore the differences ef opinion were purely personal in their na- ture, but today @ subject came up for discussion which called for « decided division, The committee was holding ite regular weekly meeting, and there were pres ent Senators McMillan (chairman). Higgins, Gallinger, Hansbrough, Perkins, Harris, Vance, Barbour and Gibson. More important, loealiy, than any other measure discussed, was Senator McMillan’s Dill making an approprintion for the expenses of the Grand Army encampment, which is to be beld in this city in September next. This measure cailed for an appropriation of $100,000. As soon as it was called up the vpporition developed with extraordinary rapidity. Seuator Martie at once took the position that such « proposition Was unconstitutional in every sense, and in was enpported by Senators Vance, Bar- bour and Gibson. It had becn believed that Senators Barbour and Gibson would have favored the ball, but they went with Senator Hargis from the start. ‘The republicans finally agreed that $75,000 would be suft favor of the ducing the nmouni it was provided that no part Of the 275,000 should be available until the sum of $60,000 should have been ruised by Popular subscription; the money so subscribed Must be expended before tue appropriawop is touched.

That bill which proposes to regulate the licensing of steain engincers in the District is to be returned to the committee for farther discussion. Since it was reported the comumit.ve has received petitiontroni numerous inflaen tial firms protesting against we pasage of the measure. In the debate which took piace this morning reference Was made to the siatement iu the memorial as to the general competency of firemen left in churge during the absence of engiuects. Senator McMillan called atient- tion to an incident of which he bad some knowledge. An engineer out m Michigan bad left his engine in charge of a “perfectly competent” firemau. Six people, includiag the perfectly competent fireman, were killed, and the other damage amounted to 50,000. Ay ADVERSE REroRT. Adverse report was ordered on the bill to in- corporate the Cuurch Orphanage Association of St. Jobn’s parish. This was done because the people who thought they wanted the vill have discovered that they do not. ‘There have been some differences of opinion among the pro- posed incorporators. and for that reason the Gordian knot was cut. FAVORABLE REPORTS. Favorable reports were ordered on the bill to authorize the Glen Echo Railroad Company to cross the Washington aqueduct; the bill to authorize the Commissioners to make regulations for the control of bridges within the District; the bills to provide for the rebuilding of bridges across Kock creck at P street and K street; the House act amending the act incorporating the National Union In- surance Company, and the House act to amend the charter of the Kook Creek Railway Com- ny.
