The | cause of death was pronounced to be heart d ease. Mr. Klingle was in the best of health and spirits apparently during the day. His wife, who had been with him, had just left to make | ® short call when the attack came.

Mr. Klingle was a native | of Philadelphia, and his parents dying when he Was quite young? he was adopted by his uncie, Mr. Joshua Pierce. The latier was one of the early residents of the city and was a large prop- erty owner. He owned a large tract of land along Rock ercek. Pierce's mill, one of the landmarks in that locality, was named for him. ‘This property wasinherited by Mr. Klingle, and a large sec-ion has recently been made a part of Rock Creek Park. Klingle road, bridge and ford will no doubt be retained as the names of ‘these localities in this park.

Yet There Were Quite s Number of Prison-| All the Companies Agree Upon a Scale of | Its Corner Stone Laid Yesterday—Large ers in the Police Court Today. Yesterday was a quiet Fourth of July so far as this city was concerned and there was but little work for the police. There was compara- tively no drunkenness, so the police say. There was also an absence of fire engines on the street during the day and there was not a homicide, serious assault or fatal accident. The absence of a number of fires, as stated, | yesterday fs claimed to be largely due to the action of the po- fice in not compelling , tae small boys to seek shelter in woodsheds and houses to discharge their firecrackers and other explo- sives. Some few policemer, however, did in- tertere with persons who were celebrating, but in most cases it was where the large cannon was used. It is stated that toy cannons were sold ata nickel apiece and that some of them ex- ploded and caused trouble. Boys were out for the purpose of making as much noise as they possibly could, as their patriotism was measured only by the amount of noise they made. t permit In some sections the police did not much latitude and the noisy ones were held to a strict accountability, which resulted in the arrest of a large number. There was no diffi- culty in making cases, and this morning there were seventy-seven persons in the three cells of | the Police Court. Most of them were char; with such offenses as loud and boisterous talk- ing and disorderly conduct, the result of being patriotic or indulging in a little picnic lemon- ade witha stick in it. As the Police Court | business is always lively the day after a national holiday, the court's business was increased by i police in arresting all the “vags” they could find. ‘WAS TAPPED ON THE HZAD. When the court convened this morning there were nineteen prisoners in the first. procession, colored man wearing a “‘bloody shirt,” led the procession. He looked aa though he was still suffering pain from the effects of a clabbing given him by the police. “I tapped him on the head,” waa Policeman Flather’s remark toa Star reporter about the man, “and then the officer in the wagon hit him.” ‘The charge against the man whose head was £0 badly cut was disorderly conduct and_pro- fanity.

Py For one year at least, dating from the lst} The ceremonies instant, the people of the District will enjoy the advantage of an ice trust, the ice companies doing business here having entered into an agreement under which the price of ice has been advanced 100 per cent to the consumer. Every company here is a party to this agree- ment, and as the individual dealers, those who sell from their own wagons, are entirely de- pendent upon the big companies for their sup- Ply of ice, these small dealers are, of course, governed by the prices of those from whom they purchase and must, therefore, also raise the price. So, during the year ending July 1, 1893, the of the District will either pay twice as much for their ice as they have pela during the last year and a half, or they will do without it. WHAT THE COMPANIES SAY. The ice companies state that during this and last season they have made nothing, and that the advance made by them was an act of abso- Inte necessity. They state, also, that the ad- vance merely raises the price of ice to what it was a year and a half ago. They do not deny that last winter's crop was a full one, nor do they deny that the demand for ice has de- creased. It is contended by them that 33 per cent of the ice gathered in the north is lost foes, together’ with tho sect of truseportation My with tl cost ion. and the handling and delivery of it here, ren- ders it impossible to adhere to the former Prices. It is for these reasons, they say, and not because of any desire to unduly oppress the purchaser, that the advance hrs been made, The cut in prices, the older companies con- tend, was made by those companies manufac- turing their own ice, and the present advance or resumption of the old prices was due toa suggestion of these manufacturing companies, who now realize that it is impossible to make the business pay under the low prices. Notwithstanding these contentions, it is a fact that the business of the manufacturing com- panies has incrensed to such an extent under the cut prices that they are today compelled to purchase natural ice to supply the demands of their patrons. The companies state that there has been comparatively little objection offered tothe advance by their patrons, very much Jess than was anticipated, in fact, and that the t will be strictly adhered by every company to it. NO ICE ON SUNDAY. Another agreement between the local ice com- panies, which also dates from the 1st instant, is one which will prevent the delivery hereafter of ice on Sundays. The companies state that thie agreement was entered into at the requas of their employes, who claim that it is a hard- ship to compel them to work on the Sabbath, thereby robbing them of the one day of rest to which they claim they are justly entitled. Such ademand was made by the employes of the different companies at the beginning of the season, and a bill looking to its enforcement has been favorably reported in Congress. No advantage whatever accrues to the companies in this matter, they claim, and the agreement | was simply made for the benefit of a class of employes who are among the hardest worked men in the District. THE NEW RATES, The rates under the new agreement are as follows: At wharves and depots—25 cents to 40 cents per 100 pounds, according to quantity. To retail trade, stores, restaurants, &c., deliv- ered from wagons—35 cents per 100 pounda Family trade—50 pounds or more at one de- livery at the rate of 50 centa per 100 pounds. 25 to 50 pounds at one delivery at the rate of 60 cents per 100 pounds. 15 pounds for 10 cents. 7 pounds for 5 cents. cee WILL OPPOSE SINGLE TAX. Citizens of Hyattsville Will Protest Against the Recent Order of the Commissioners. ‘There appear to be some residents of Hyatts- ville who do not believe in the single tax, or, at any rate, are not willing that their town, ata time when it is rapidly growing and_needs im- provements, should be made the field of experi- | ment in taxation. The following is being cir- | culated among citizens of the town for signa- ures: + ‘We, the undersigned citizens of Hyattsville, do hereby suggest that a public meeting of the | citizens be held in the Hyattsville Athletic Club rooms on Wednesday, the 6th instant, at 8:30 p. m.,for the purpose of expressing our disap- roval of the recent order of a majority of the Twn commissioners in exerapting all improve- | ments from taxation and to take such steps as may be necessary to prevent the enforcement of such an order. A full meeting is requested.” A resident who is not in favor of the single fax and who is engaged in promoting themove- ment against it said to a Star reporter: “The adoption of the single tax system on last Thurw- | | day evening by the commissioners of Hyatts- | ville was a surprise to the minority of said | board and the citizens of Hyattsville.

Gerrrsscne, July 4, 1892. Fourth of July has been celebrated here with more than ordinary fervor because of the presence of a large representation of the Grand Army men of vania, who are camping here. One slope of Cemetery Hill—the slope which the Louisiana Tigers vainly assaulted on the 2d of July, 1863, and where that famous confederate organiza- tion was almost completely annihilated by the brave boys in blue who then held the hill—is covered with tents.

The encampment is not so well attended as that held here two yearsago. The reason geu- erally given is that the Grand Army men throughout the state are looking forward to at- tending the national encampment in Washing- ton in September, and asa rule they feel un- able to afford the fime and money that would be required to attend both the state and na- tional encampments, they are holding off to come to Washington, All the Grand Army men here look forward to an immense gather- ing in Washington.

This year the assessment valuation of the $369,709, just $99, land and all improvements, consisting of 172) houses at an average value of $575. Then with a leap an increase of taxes of 25 cents per $100 is made, to show that a less sum at a greater rate per cent will produce a revenue in excess of last year. Now, what is the condition of Hyattsville? ‘The road committee from early last fall up to the present time have been re- quested to do certain work for the health and convenience of all persons in the town. They have had no means of doing work necessary to comply with the reqnest, but have given their ‘ward te do the bask they could when they should receive the money from taxes. The sidewalk on the pike is in a dangerous and unsightly con- dition, the water pipes incufficient to carry off the drainage, thestreet on which two of the churches are situated is and has been from early last fall and during the winter almost im- passable. The great growth of our town de- mands that we have more and better streets, pavements and waterways. ‘Lhe legislature taw this and in ite wisdom allowed an increase of 25 cents per @100 in the levy to meet these ex- which would, upon an assessment of fina at a reasonable amount, together with the pr ments, give us for internal and neces- sary improvements about 2,000, not one cent more than is really necessary. ‘The action of the commissioners in putting the tax higher on land and exempting all improvements is inop- portune, to eay the least. ei Transfers of Real Estate.

My plan would be as follows, viz: ‘Take such | paris of squares 576, 578, 635. 636, 687, 688, 639, 640, 693. 691, 689, 690, 692, 694, just south of the Capitol grounds, as are neceseary to forma | circle the center of which is, vay, about 100 feet in diameter. Around ircle have a i 106 feet wide, with a twenty-foot y, and the outside of this give each railroad company table space to build ite depots, both for freight and passengers. The freight depot rhould be in the rear and not on this circle, and access to it ld be by a different street from that leading to the passenger depot. In this way the general public could be accommodated and each railroad company could be independent of the others. That the railroad companies might get into the city and to this central depot sta- tion I would suggest that the Baltimore and | Ohio begin at a point on the main line,-say at the Boundary or where it crosses square 857, and lower its tracks by tunneling under squares 857 to 872 and then pasting west by tunnel under C street south until the tracks reach these central depots. The Baltimore and Potomac could begin at a point near where their present line crosses Virginia avenue neat the Eastern branch, and tunnel under that avenue and Gar- field Park until it reached there central depots. For the other or Virginia branches of the Penn- Sylvania railrond and all other railroads that ‘propore to enter the city from across the Poto- mac I wonld suggest tunneling under the Poto- mac, beginning at a point near where the Lo bridge commences ‘on the Virginia sido and passing under the river and Washington chan- nel to P street southwest, near the power house, and thence to Delaware avenue and under Delaware avenue to the central station. These tunnels should be built of sufficient capacity to accommodate the different companies who want to use them. ‘They could either be built by the railroad companies them- selves or by the general government or an in- dependent corporation, controlled by certain regulations which would protect the city and the different railroad com; that wish to use them. Iam notan but I think I have common sense enough to solve any engi- neering problems that might come up in earry- ing out this plan and will cheerfully give any aid I can, if called on. GR pea RE The Effort in Barber's Behalf. In the case of Frederick Barber, the colored man convicted of the murder of Agnes Watson in June, 1888, by drowning her in the canal in 208; | Georgetown on June 24, the motion for a new trial was argued by Messrs. Cahill and Ferguson a | for the defense and Mr. Clagett for the govern- ini the use of explosives. The national flag also floated from many of the residences. ‘There were many visitors from the city, and perhaps the chief point of interest. was the tower that is erected on the side of old Fort Banker Hill. The tower was well Alled yeeter: day and at night the le of the Heights ai Brookland crowded ite different platforms to witness the display of fireworks that had been procured by popular subscription. ‘The view from. this tower was beautiful, as streaks of fire lined the sky in all directions, from the pyrotechnic displays in the city, at the Reform School and Takoma could be seen and these outside displays served to interest the crowd while waiting for the local 'thow to be- in. ‘This consisted of rockets, bombs, mines, Greek fire and other pyrotechnic devices and made a very good d the only criticism being that there was too long a wait between the pieces, The patience of many was ex- hausted and they left before the program was concluded. However, considering that this was the first experience of the kind the affair de- se ves praise. Many residents, both’ of University te and of Brookland, had private ya of works, some of them quite extensive. 8.W.H. logical The American Philological Association will hold its twenty-fourth annual meeting at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, begin- ning next Tuesday.
