OH, WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN THE MORNING. Bogan was strongly of the opinion that the champion would win, while Frank Scbneider,on the other hand, pinned his hopes to Corbett. As thearguments had no effect upon the convictions of either, it was finally decided that in the grent Mr. Sullivan threw up the sponge Mr. Bogan should convey Mr. Schneider in a wheel- barrow around the square on which the In- terior Department building is situated.

The familiar ery, “The crab man is going away now,” thi has been heard about the city for several years will no more be heard from the lips of John Bolden, for he’s gone to his long home.. Bolden was a colored man about forty-five years old, and for a number of years he has peddled soft and deviled crabs and fried chicken about the city, disposing of his stock principally about barber shops and restaurants in addition to serving private families. Well known as he was he was well liked and wae always looked upon aso good-natured, harm- less man at'whom his customers always poked fun. About the saloons he was a general target for tricksters,and he wes never known to re- fuse a drink. He was treated so often that his normal condition was an advanced state of in- ebricty, and thatit was thought this morning had something to do with his death, although he | never fully recovered from the shock that followed a blow in the month. FOUND LYING ON 1HE CONCRETE. About 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon the at- tention of the police was called to a mau lyi inthe street at the corner of Pennsylvani: avenue and 12th street. Wher. the officers went there they found Bolden lying on the concrete. Blood was gushing from his mouth, and know- ing his habits the officers naturally suspected that he was suffering from hemorrhage, and they tock him to the Emergency Hospital. ‘There he was attended by Drs. Woodward and Heinecke. He wax unconscious and nothing could be gotten irom him until late in the night, when he told one of the attendants that a man bad struck him. That was about all that he said before he died. In the meanwhile a citizen had called at tho hospital and stated that Bolden hud been struck byawhite man. Precinct Detective Weedon was sent out to investigate the case, und he had considerable difficulty in obtaining any information whatever of the affair. STURCK BY A HACKMAN. Firally he learned from a boy who witnessed the affair that one of the hackmen on the stand struck the colored man, The boy told the officer that he heard the men quarreling, and from what he heard they were evidently engaged in a war of words about Bolden’s brother. He heard the white man say, “What in the —— are you coming around here for to raise a fuss?” and to this Bolden replied, “Well, he's my brother.” ‘Bolden left the hack stand and walked over toward the southwest corner of 12th and D streets. The white man followed him and, when he turned, dealt him a biow in the mouth with his fist, knocking him down. In making the investigation the officer learned that there were several vehicles on the stand when the affuir happened and the drivers were standing near their vehicles at the time. When it was reen that the man was so badly off they got on their vehicles and drove off. AFTER FRANK FITZSIMONS, The officer received reliable information to the effect that the man who dealt the fatal blow was Frank Fitzsimmons, son of the Inte Police- man Thomas Fitzsimmons. Soon after learn- ing this the officer went to the house of Fitz- simmons in Jackson Hall alley, where he was informed that Frank had not been home since | yesterday, but from other persons in the alley he learned that only a short time before that — had ridden outf the alley on horee- ack. It was supposed by the officers that he went in the direction of Bladensburg, where he was well acquainted, and that from there he might posts go to Philadelphia, where he once lived. Word was sent to Deputy Sheriff Dar- nall at Bladensburg, giving him « description of the man wanted and requesting his arrest. — COLORED ODD FELLOWS. | i A Great Meeting to Be Held in This City Next Month, The sixth biennial movable of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America, col- ored, will be held in this city on the 4th of next month.

Political Chat About the State of the Cam- | paign. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ‘New Yor, Sept. 7, 1892. If things go on in New Yorkat the present rate it would be practicable to hold s cabinet meet- inghere. With the President within a few day, Secretary Foster waiting for his family to land, Secretary Tracy bobbing in and out of re- publican headquarters and Secretary Elkins making frequent quiet visits here, it would not be difficult to get a pretty full meeting of cabi- net officers almost any day. Secretary Tracy wasatthe republican headquarters today and had a long consultation with Chairman Carter and others there. Secretary Foster has felt considerable inter- est in political matters since he has been here, | but bis official duties have kept his attention pretty closely confined, and bis anxiety on ac- count of his family has added to the reasons for his absence from headquarters Ex-Congressman “Billy” Mason of Ilinois has made quite a record for himself in the cam- paign work that he has been doing here. He Was making speeches every night in his inter- esting vein and never failed to draw a crowd or hold ihe attention of his hearers. As a cam- paigner Mason isa great success. He was in constant demand, and will not have aday of est probably between this and the election. He hnd intended remaining here for some time, because of the demand for his services, but be was unexpectedly hustled off to Connecticut to take the place of Gov. McKinley, who had been billed for a speech in that state.’ The governor was suddenly called home on some important business, and as it was necessary tofill his place Mason was hunted up and huetled out on an carly trainin time to reach New Haven by 1 o'clock in the afternoon and fill McKinley's ap- pointment for him. NoT A CAMPAIGN OF FLAGS. Col. A. M. Jones of Illinois, who is just here from Washington, reports one peculiarity in the condition throughout the country, which has been referred to in regard to New York city, and that is the absence of campaign demonstra- tions in the way of flags and banners. “I bave not eeen since I left Milwaukee,” said he, “any- thing in the shape of a banner’ or a streamer for cither of . It is not a cam- of flags. a campaign of thought. I we seen nething like it in my thirty years of campaign experience. It reminds me of the campaign of 1864. Men are thinking, not talk- ing.” A MICHIGAN DEMOCHAT'S VIEW. Congressman Whiting of Michigan, who is a candidate for re-election. ia here. Mr. Whiting is a merchant and comes to New York two or three times a year to make his purchases, He says the business men of the country, at least those outside of the grent cities,are not satisfied with the tariff. “During the past few days,” said he, “I have met a good many retail merchants from various western states who are, like myself, here buy- ing their full and winter stocks.” ww do you find them talking, Mr. 6 They fee] that they are working ata great dicadventage. They see that they are obliged to buy goods made high in price by the tariff and sell them for products made low-priced by the same law. Only the very closest application to business enables them to make any profit out of this kind of a business transaction,” Then you don't agree with the claim that goods are lower than’ they were before the pas- tage of the McKinley Inw?” “No. The jobbers here like to make the buyers believe that, but ose ott of style and n the lower-priced qualities have been unfavorably affected by the high rate of duty established by the Me- inley la : The mercantile community then will not be tia very friendly to the present tariff, will it? “Not the retail merchants, at least. Cer- in my section of the country they will not, and the cause of protection will have to _ against them in the campaign this fall.” “You look for democratic success in Michi- gan then, do you? “Yes, I be we shall cast more demo- cratic votes in Michigan this time than ever before. The democrats are very active. Tariff reform clubs are being organized in towns where democratic effort has never been made before.” Are the democrats here tontributing to suc- cess in that state? ‘No; we are fighting our own battles. It isa matter of self-interest to us. Instead of the ery of America for Americans our ery is Mich- | igan for Michiganders, We prefer to buy goods made anywhere in the world without any more restrictions than the requiremente of an eco- nomically administered government require. We would rather have Englishmen make the | goods in England at a low price than to have | them come over here and buy up our manu- facturing plants and charge us a high price for | their productions, | ADVICES FROM MAINE. | Advices from Maine are very satisfactory to | the republicans, Mr. James E. Burke,organizer | of the college league of clubs, who has returned | yfrom a visit there, reports that the republican majority is expected to be about 12,000 in the | staie. The Australian ballot, he says, is likely tokeep a good many people away from the polls, as many voters seem todoubt their ability | to comprehend its workings. It is believed that | this will have a greater effect on the democratic | side than on the republican, He reports a re- | markable boom in the manufacturing interesta ; of that state and the construction of a nuraber | of new woolen mills,while other manufacturing interests are running on full time, and there aro general signs of prosperity. This fact, the re- publicans believe, is likely to strengthen their chances. DEMOCRATIC NEWS FROM THE WEST. On the other hand the democrats have cheer- tng news from the west. Don Dickinson has returned from the breezes of the lake city. He does not agree with the New York Sun that the western campaign is a rain-bow chase. “On the contrary,” said he, talking of the matter, “I think our chances of success in sev- | eral of the western states are very good. Mr. Cable, Mr. Wall and myself entered into a ver minute and searching examination, in which | we took nothing for granted, cross-exumined | our informants’ and tested’ by comparison ith oral statements the information conveyed | correspondence. Our object was not to ob- | tain a rosy view of the western political field, but to get down to the bed-rock facts on which | to base our calculations and efforts. Among the distinguished democrats of Illinois, for ex- ample, who consulted with us were Commia- sioner Wm. H. Morrison, Judge Goudy and Mr. Hessing, and from Wisconsin, Minnesota Michigan, lowa and the Dakotas we had the observation and experience of those most ¢ pert and trustworthy. And the result?’ ‘The result of the careful inquiry is in every way gratifying. ‘There has already been a very entisfactory preliminary poll taken of Minne- rota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan, and what | isa better sige than anything else is that the | work essential to bringing out the full vote has | been undertaken promptly and that measures to that end have been systema ated ‘ore the opening of the xpeaking campaign. “Do you still think the establishment of western headquarters was wise?” “Yes; the establishment of the Chicago head- quarters has in itself given the it er ergy and put new enctgy into the fights in the ps, particu- ttee of western division, This is, perha larly true of Llinois, ‘The ‘state Alinow shows great life and vigor, and is work- Fer Belo renewed e1 because of the dispo- sition of the national committee to uphold their hands.

There was a cor- responding fall in democratic stock from that moment and an air of depression bas hung over headquarters all day on accor.* of this event. —— PREPARING FOR THE CROOKS. Difficulty That is Found Under the Law— Suggestions as to Prompt Trials. During the past few years the business of the Police Court has increased to such an extent that the authorities found it absolutely neces sapy to enlarge the quarters and” increase the force of clerks. The court rooms in the old building corner of 6th and D streets were found too small to accommodate the prisoners and witnesses, and for that reason as well as to make the quarters more desirable Congress, at its last session, made an appropriation of $14,000 to add another story to the building and make other much needed improvements, The work is now in progress and it is expected that the building will be ready for occupancy about the ist of December. Until that time the rooms of the sixth pre- cinct station are to be utilized for the purposes of the court rooms. The inconvenience caused to the officers of the precinct, as well as the piace being too small for court purposes, will found to seriously interfere with the proper administration of justice daring the eycam ment, when the arrests will probably greatly increase on account of the large number of crooks and hangers-on who always follow such celebrations, During the four days this week the number of prisoners who appeared in conrt aggrega’ 2af in addition to perhaps Malt’ that aueaber who wero on collateral. those locked up as well as those on the collat- eral list were charged with minor offenses against the ordinances of the District, most of them growing out of liquor drinking, while a number of arrests resulted from such offenses as dropping dirt on the street, keeping a bark- ing dog or a crowing rooster, or a violation of some health ordinance. It has been suggested that during the en- campment a large room, morecentrally located, be rented for the use of the District elde of the court, where persons arrested can be taken and tried without overcrowding the police stations over night. The police arrangements for the encampment week have not vet been completed, and some trouble is expected on account of the peculiar wording of the bill making the appropriation for the employment of detectives from other cities, That bill, as heretofore published, pro- vides that the chief of police may employ de- tectives to assist in the work, but such otlicers must be borne on the rolls of the police depart ments of the cities of Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. Maj. Moore will probably experience some difficulty in getting enough good men from those cities. A large number of “crooks” usually come from the west, and as no detec- tives irom that section can be employed it is likely they will fare better than the eastern “crooks.” The objectionable clanse in the bill will operate in favor of the and the police think it was inserted to prevent the employment of Pinkerton men. The police also expect some difficulty about | the Sunday liquor question on the Sunday pre- ceding the encampment as there was during inauguration Sunday four years ago, when there were so many strangers in the city. At that time several saloons were forced open and the proprietors dispensed liquor asa matter of self-protection. Many of the saloonkeepers were fined at that time, but owing to the cir. cumstances under which the sales were made most‘if not all of the fines were remitted. ‘This question of Sunday opening has been called to the attention of the Commissioners, but the matter has not yet been finally settled. astinai-hashe THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR. Educational Institutions in and About Wash- ington. Washington is especially fortunate in having either within the city limits or within easy distance some of the best edusational institu- tions in the land—colleges, preparatory schools, professional schools and private schools of all kinds. Soon the new scholastic year will begin. ‘Those who have to choose a school for their children will find in the adverti ing columns of Tue Stan what is practically a directory of well-managed establishments that are highly commended by their patrons, The Berlitz School of Languages has extended city by city until it now has branckes in the principal American and European cities, In this city the school has its headquarters at 723 14th street and N.
