Downman Found Dead in His Room. , SHOT THROUGH THE HEART. Indications That He Fired the Pistol—He ‘Had Been Using Liquor and Morphine— ‘Was to Have Been Married Today—The Lady in the Case Declines to Talk. EO REE Frank G. Downman wasto have been mar- ried today if all reports are true, but before the hour of noon he the trigger of » revolver and his life came toa sudden and sad end. . ‘The deed was great shock to his many friends, but some of them who were seen by & Stax reporter did not even express surprise when they were told of what had occurred. The tragedy was enacted ina room in thé Dumbarton Hotel, on Pennsylvania avenue near ‘7th street, and the unfortunate msn had been dead ome time before his body was discovered. Downman was» handsome man of muscular Duild and had many friends in this city as well ss at his home in Warrent ‘Unele Sam during Mr. Cleveland's administra- ton, but was too much of a democrat to hold on when there was a political change. Following his release from office he started out to see something of the country, and only a short while ago he returned to his Warrenton home and then came here. Exactly when he arrived is not known, but he was the first guest to register at the hotel ‘Thursday morning. He was assigned to room 10, on fourth floor, facing Pennsylvania avenue, where he had exceedingly comfortable quarters. SENT FOR MORPHINE FILLS. He made a confidant of Jim Carter, the col- ored.porter, whom he told that he bad not had any sleep for four nights, There were traces of mental agony sbout the young man, and he had used morphine and liquor to drown his sorrows and give him an opportunity to sleep. Jim was sent to a neigh! cone store for morphine pills and was given ree one-fourth grain pis, Dut these did not last long and he went for another installment. The druggist refused to let him have any more, as he thought he had already had enongh for one man. Persons about the hotel noticed that he ay peared nervous and excited, and at times he showed signs of being under the influence of liquor. A FEMALE IN THE CASE. Yesterday morning it was evident that there was a female figuring in the case, for he com- menced writing notes and sending them out. His first note was addressed to Miss Cora Hunter, No. 1025 Vermont avenue northwest, and this was intrusted to Jim, the faithful porter, for delivery. Jim left the hotel with the note and delivered it to the lady mentioned, returning with an answer. What the answer was nobody except the writer and the unfortunate man probably knows, but it evidently was not of the most loving character, for after receiving 1 Downman appeared low spirited and was will- ing to take the second dose of morphine. But as he had not been able to get it he bad tomake out with something else. A CALLER AND A STORMY INTERVIEW. During the afternoon he received a cajlerand there wasa stormy interview between the two men. Persons abont the hotel say he was the brother-in-law of the lady in the case and he insisted that the marriage should take place today. ‘According to the gossip about the hotel such terms were satisfactory to Downman and it was settled that a minister should be called in and perform the ceremony some time this after- noon. PASSED A SLERPLESS NIGHT. So far as could be ascertained the man who had been under such a mental strain spent most of the night in his room. In the rear end of the room were bis bed and ind, while near the front window wi ening. iting and walking the floor help to away the night for the man who nearly lost his reason, and when this morning came he was no better off than he was the night before. * ANOTHER NOTE TO Miss HUNTER. ‘He sent for the porter some time in the neigh- borhood of 10 o'clock and again gave hima note to deliver to Miss Hunter. “Be sure and get an answer,” were his last words to the porter, and Jim hastened to the house on Vermont avenue with the note. He saw Miss Hunter and handed her the note. Then he took a seat and waited until she had sealed an answer in an envelope and ad- dressed it “Mr. F. C. Downman.” Jim then returned to the hotel and without stopping to remove his coat he went directly up- stairs to room No. 10. A KNOCK, BUT NO REPLY. He knocked on the door, but there was no response, and then he ventured in. From tho door he saw the form of the man on the floor, but could see no evidence of a tragedy having been enacted. He called, “Mr. Downman,” but there was no response. By this time the porter realized that the trouble had been more than the Vir- ginian could stand and that he had killed himself. Walking further into the room he saw pow- der marks on,the shirt of the deceased as well as fm his wrist, but there was no pistol in sight. e burn on the shirt was on the left side, directly over the heart, and it was plain to Jim's mind that a bullet had entered the man’s body and caused death. Without touching anything in the room he went down stairs to the oftice and notified Mr. George Jenison, manager of the hotel, and that gentleman went at once to the room, LYING DEAD UPON THE FLOOR. There he found the condition of affairs as stated. The dead body of the man was lying on the floor, the body being on its side with one arm half under it. He was in his shirt sleeves and his suspenders were not even over his shoulders. On the little table were several sheets of writing paper anda knife, while on the floor near the table and partly under the dead man’s head was the lead pencil which he bad used in us his farewell letter to the one he had “ The bed had not been made up and his two coats were thrown carelessly across a chair. His only baggage was a satchel and this was on the bureau nearly closed. A SEARCH FOR THE PISTOL. ‘There was no pistol to be seen anywhere about the room, and from the fact that the bullet had undoubtedly gone through the man’s heart, it was believed impossible for him toha made away with it after firing the fatal shot. This situation gave the affair the appearance of murder. The door was unfastened. The man bad been shot and instantly killed, and there was no weapon to be found. He could not have thrown it out of the win- dow and it was not in his pocket. Search made and after some little time the revolver was found in the yalise on the bureau. ide fatal shot and had dropped the pistol in the walled’ whece a pair of eohed ous and a necktie partly covered the wea The police were soon notified and they took charge of the room and the few effects of the dead man and sent word to the coroner. ‘There were some papers and the valise and it is thought that the letter received from Miss Hunter WHAT ONE WHO KNEW DOWNMAN says, Acitizen of Warrenton who was well ac- Allie quainted with the deceased was informed of an envelope in X.

The Authorities Looking for Some Way to Prevent Delays at Fires. ‘The fire department was delayed some time in getting a stream of water to throw on the burning building at the corner of 9th and D atreets northwest. This was occasioned by the condition of the fire plugs, which were more or less frozen and which had to be thawed out before the water would flow. Capt. Rossell was interested in this matter and determined to get a full report from Chief Parris of the fire depart ment. Chief Parris today reports that engine No. 1..which went into service from the fire plug at the corner of 9th and E streets, was delayed two or three minutes by reason of the frozen plug; that engine No. 2, using the plug at 9th and D_ streets, was delayed = half minute in getting water; that there was no delay from engine companies No. Sand 4, but that engine company No. 5, which used the water from the plug on D between 9th and 10th streets, was delayed four minutes be- fore they could get the plug thawed out; engine company No. 6, which used the fire plug on 9th between D and E, was delayed one minute, while engine company No. 7, which used the plug at 7th and E, experienced no de- lay. There wasa delay, however, of two min- utes reported from engine company No. 8, which used the plug on D between 6th and 7th. It is understood that Capt. Rossell will have the matter of frozen plugs carefully inquired into, with the object of providing means to revent the of water therein. A num- yr of suggestions have been offered, such as packing the boxes incasing the plug with different materials. Chief Parris, in conversation with a STaR reporter today, said that the freezing of the fire plugs was a mattor that called for the earnest consideration of the © Commis- sioners. The success of quickly tinguishing = fire depen large! upon the prompt supply of water, an even a minute's delay sometimes was most dam- aging to the interests involved. He hoped the Commissioners would devise some means for remedying this most important defect. Never since his connection with the fire department had there been such a universal freezing. aes TO DEDICATE A NEW CHURCH.

Speaking of the work of the Associated Char- ities today to « Stax reporter, Secretary Emery stated that the District wasdividedintocighteen subdivisions,each one of which was in cl of an agent of the association. Each divis- own funds when possi- avenue and weat of 15th ‘street, that one north of the avenue and west of 1éth street, and the Georgetown division, there were’ paid ‘or | 2gente of the association. These three agents bad immediate supervision of ve divisions, sub; reapecti z however, to the direction of the association. ’ Where any divis- fon reported that {8 was without funds it was, qi le, at ones supy from the gen- gral treasury, tho ‘ceutal often: over which Secretary Emery presides, meeting the wants of the remaining fifteen subdivisions. Mr. Emery explained that in in- stances of suffering each case was closely in- vestigated before relief was given, such & course being necessary in order to prevent the association from being im upon. he said, when the At the present time, distross was unprecedented such close investi- gation became practically impomible, for the Teason that every moment's delay increased the suffering to that extent. Fle bad no doubt that 1 sasociation was being imposed upon v. often by unworthy applicants, yet” he felt that under the present circumstances It was far better to be imposed upon in such cases now end then than to cause additional distress by delaying the relief in order to person- ally in te each individual case. Where an applicant brought watisfactory evidence of real distress in the shape of letters or cards from trustworthy persons, relief was afforded inevery instance, whether it was in a time of ry or extraordinary '. At the present time, when the enffering was widespread and general and when immediate relief was absolutely necessary, the plan he followed at the central office’ was to have person entered the office, and such other infor- | apes as would be useful inenabling him or a nts to arrive at « reasonable understand- ing of the circumetances of the that was done the appli rected to take his or hor the office door, where the person waited until Mr. Emery could call the person in and through a few questions leary the sufferer's real condition and wants, He explained that he asked each applicant's name, residence, esent condition, support, number in the fam- By, nod any other question which in his opinion would give him an insight as to tho party's real condition and need. If from his examination ho was left in doubt as to the worthi ness of the applicant he sent the person home and directed that the case be personally investigated by an agent of the as- sociation. Whore he had no doubt in the mat- ter, he at once gave the applicaut an order for whatever was needed, and called in the porson next on the list made out and handed to him by his clerks. No discrimination, he said, was ever shown by him or hia clerks in tho matter, every applicant being waited upon in the order in which the party applied. WORKING FOR THEIR GRUB. The Central Union Mission has opened a department of industry in the basement of the new building on Louisiana avenue. The place has been supplied with @ quantity of wood and the proper appliances for sawing it into fire- we ‘Able-bodied men applying for relief are enabled to obtain the same by rendering an quivalent in labor in sawing and splitting wood. In consequenco the mission bas for sale all kinds of firewood in any quantity at regular city prices, AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS. An appeal bas been issued from the third sub- division of Associated Charities for help. The appeal says: ‘The unusual demands for relief made upon this subdivision compel the directors, after an organization of ten years, to make this their first public appeal to the residents of this divle- ion for aid, As each division is required to care for its own poor it is urgently requested that the charitable within its precincts willcontribute to its support.
