Stewart were before Judge Miller this morning charged with, grand larceny. It was alleged that they took #41 be- longing to Charles M. Pugh of 617 New Jersey avenue northwest. The defendants are brick- layers and they stopped at Mr. Pugh’s house. During his absence, it is charged, they took the money. They were held in $500 each for the grand jury. a Mite Boxes for the Poor. To the Féitor of The Evening Star: In reading of the demands made upon the Associated Charities in today’s paper I beg to suggest a plan which met with success in Phila- delphia after the Johnstown flood. Boxes were placed on street corners and persons in passing had an opportunity to drop in small amounts which they would have considered too insig- nificant to present through other channels, yet the aggregate amount did much to relieve the suffering. Will you allow me to name the foilowing cor- ners upon which plainly marked boxes conid be placed: 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue, Ith and F streets, 15th and G streets, 12th street and Pennsylvania avenue, Connecticut avenue and K streets? prompt action.

BUT ANOTHER ONE AT THE WEATHER BUREAU SAID TEY SELOW—THE COLDEST IN THIS CITT POR TWELVE YRARS—-ANOTHER SNOW STORM PREDICTED FOR TOMORROW. At daybreak this morning the thermometer at the weather bureau in this city registered 5 degrees below-zero. This is the lowest tem- perature Washington has experienced in twelve years, On January 1, 1881, the mercury fell as low as 14 degrees below the zero mark. snap here this morning. At 5 o'clock the mer- cury was 7 degrees above zero, when it com- menced to fall, and within a little more than an low temper ature occurred at a time when there was no wind, otherwise, with the amount of moisture present in the air and a brisk wind blowing. the cold would have been most intense. Five degrees was the registry of the corrected thermometer at the weather bureau. Another instrument there marked 10 below, but it was said that this instrument was off. MORE GOW TOMORROW. It will warm up gradually during today, the weather bureau man fays, but the mercury ill probably continue to remain below the freezing point, however. Tonight will not be juite as cold as last night waa. It is probable that there will be a snow fall tomorrow, imme- diately after which it will grow decidedly colder. A storm is coming out of the north- west and in folowing the aame route by which the last heavy snow and cold wave came. The storm, which was in Montana vesterday, is cen- tral today over northwest Arkansas and ha turned northeast, following the Ohio valley in its rapid progress toward the St. Lawrence.

The snow is from five inches deep in New York and New England to twenty inches in Michigan and ten or more on the plains.

Throughout the central portion of the co try the temperature is far below the normal and intensely cold weather prevails. Freezing and even to the southern extremity of Florida.

Richard Morgan, on the Conduit road, below ‘abin John bridge, as made by the Metropoli- tan Southern’s condemnation jury, has proven from the decision. It is said that before con- An Attempt at Suicide. Yesterday afternoon Anthony Bertholiard, an | Italian of forty-five years, who had been em- ployed in the Agricultural grounds, was dis- covered in his room at the boarding house of | Smith, 520 7th street, with a severe cut on | his throat and saturated with blood. The | servant girl at once informed Mrs. Smith and the Dre. Hammett (father and son) responded and directed that he besent to Providence Hospital, which was done. This, however, was no easy matter, for the officers in moving him found him to be frantic and that he was evi- dently insane, threatening to put an end to his existence. It is supposed that loss of employ- ment has driven him to desperation, It 1s thought that he will recover. pile Death of Maj. James K. Magie. ‘Maj. James K. Magie, a well-known public speaker and former newspaper man of Illinois, residing at 229 H street northeast in this city, died yesterday at the residence of his son in Brooklyn, N. Y., of heart disease. Maj. Magic was for many years prominent in public affairs in the west and was for along time editor of the Canton (IIL) Register. He had held va- rious positions of responsibility in state affairs and had a wide acquainance with public men. ‘He was well known asa republican orator east and west. In 1888 he was engaged in the cam- in eastern New York and in 1892 delivered nearly 100 speeches in New Jersey. A fow weeks ago he delivered a lecture {n thie city upon Abraham Lincoln and the memorable contest for the Senate between Douglass and Lincoln in 1858, in which he bore an important part. ‘ — , The Piers of the Aqueduct Bridge. To the Editor of the Evening Star: ‘Tax Stan of the 9th instant has an interview with Mr. C. B. Hunt, engineer in charge of Dis- trict bridges,in which that gentleman is reported 4 saying: “The safety of the Aqueduct bridge under existing circumstances seems beyond reasonable question.” ‘This may be true, but, if so, what has Mr. Hunt to say in explanation of 3 made by the diver,who examined the piers of said bridge, which report was indorsed as correct by Mr. Hunt, Capt. Symonds and the District Commis- sioners, and transmitted to the President and Congress in the annual report of the District Commissioners for 1889, which is in direct con- flict with the late statement of Capt. Hunt, as quoted above, as will be seen by the following, nto oes Page 250 of said report, to “Pier No. 6, north side—Masonry in condition, except at northwest nose, where there is a large cavity, where the masonry has ; E i pared tT loa in pak aoe demnation proceedings were commenced the company’s representative offered Mr. Morgan $2,500 for his property, but it was deemed of greater value by the owner, The Jury then in- spected the ground and after due considera- tion decided thet 1.500 was a just price to pas, and it is from this Mr. Morgan appeais.

In most cases, though, the amount awarded hae been unsatisfactory to owners. FEARS OF DAMAGE BY ICE. While the merchants anticipate with grim pleasure the destruction of the Long bridge by the ice that will soon go plunging down the river they are much afraid that the sudden thaw predicted will cause serious damage to the banks of the Chesapeake and Obio canal arid to the trestle work recently erected by the Balti- more and Obio railroad along the north bank of the Potomac from the Aqueduct bridge toa point about one mile westward. THE GEORGETOWN AND TENLETTOWN noAD. Cars are now running regularly on the Georgetown and Tenleytown line, the bursted pipes at the power house having been repaired and the tracks cleared of «now. Mr. J. Hite Miller, the president of the roud, ‘explained to reporter that owing to the pipe which ¥u; the boiler having frozen and burst the company were tnable to send their sweeper out night before last, when it began to snow. When things were finally gotten in order the snow was of such depth that it backed all over that part of the pri car's machinery known as the rear #tat, wetting itso that a short circuit was produced, making the paseage over the tracks slow and tedious. ‘TRACKS ON M STREET. ‘The proposition of the Arlington Railroad Company for permission to extend their tracks across the Aqueduct and down to 324 street meets with considerable opposition among merchants and others on M street, who claim that any more tracks on M street would so se- riously interfere with business that M street would cease to become a business thoroughfare, as the continued shifting of the cars near the present market house would be destructive to ‘NOTES.

I believe he is not now a re- | sponsible being and unquestionably insane.” ® WARDEN BURKE'S LETTER TO SCHNEIDER. 1 ‘The letter ot Warden Burke is the same date, | and he says: “Various things connected with this subject have been noticed by me from time | to time, and reports have been made to me by employes at the jail which I) believe to be true, and ‘among them | are his persistent refusal to eat the food pre- pared at the jail, under the apprehension that | some one is endeavoring to poison him; his re- | fusai to permit hix hair to be cut and to be| shaved becanse of the fear that his throat will be cut; he constantly asserts that something | is being thrown over him or poured over bim for the purpose of injuring him, asserting that it is some kind of acid: he asserts that persons | come into his cell in the might to injure him | and thereby he is prevented from having sleep; | that his sleep at night is broken and irregalar; he at all times is reticent and moody | and apparently does not__ recognize persons who ere well known to him; his look | and manner is that of mental vacuity; he rarely interrogated and [then bis answers are not responsive, *|but he speaks of matters that have no existence in fact, such as I have above stated; and while it is difficult to state bis man- ner and actions and conversations in detail the foregoing are illustrations of what I have ob- served and what has been reported to me. “He appears to have become very much ema- ciated. For months, as reported to me, he has | eaten barely sufficient to keep him alive. His | aimless ways, his vacant stare and his indiffer- erence toall that is passing sbout him, to- gether with such facts as I have above indi- cated, have strongly impressed me, and he | seems to me to be in a condition of mental ap- | athy.”” Mr. Mattingly, after reading the papers, said | that he understood that the government would make no objection and suggested a post] ment for sixty days to make this ingulry. THE PRISONER TO BE BROUGHT INTO COURT. District Attorney Cole said thet he had been apprised that some euch application would be | | made and there being statute providing for | such inquiry. He, however, suggested that as | the prisoner was not present the order #hould | not now be made. Justice McComas then directed that theprie- oner be brought up on Monday morning, when the order will be made. Justice McComas took the matter under advisement. Motions for a new trial and an arrest of judgment were then argued and overruled, and thirty days were given to prepare a bill of ex- | ceptions, the sentence being postponed. _— A BRUTAL ASSAULT, | How an Old Pensioner Was Beaten by a Tough.
