THE HUNTON LICENSE BILL INCORPORATED 48 PART OF THE MEASURE THAT PASSED—THE GAS AND ELECTRIC LIGHT QUFSTION — THE LOCATION OF THE CONTAGIOUS HOSPITAL. Late yesterday afternoon the Senate resumed the consideration of the District appropriation bit, and when they bad ajourned the had been passed. The bill went through rg Senate in practically the same form in which it was reported to that body. The only change of importance was the striking from the bill the Senate amendment fixing the site for the new municipal building and making a beginning of that project by giving the Commissioners the right to accept offers for plans for the building. A number of verbal amendments were made and agreed to and the clause relating to the new municipal building was taken up. Mr. Vest obtained the floor to oppose the Propo tion, Ho thought that the matter should been referred to the committee on public buiid- ings and grounds, but aside from that he was ‘opposed to tho location proposed. “I think,” he said, “‘thet the erection of this building tor the District of Columbia upon the park in front | of the market on Pen: i would r cted for such a and that no piace cauld be se! building so wanifestiy iaappro; “Ye. President, as was said yesterday by the Senftor from Maryland, the class of people who will visit this building in the immediate vicinity of Center Marke: will be disugreeable to the ladies of the city of Washington, who neces- sarily must go to thet market from day to day. It seems to me that the fact that this property belongs to the government should be an inferior consideration when we reflect that Pennsylvania avenue, the most beautiful street in the United States, if not in the world, should have this tk as it is now, and it should nat be ocenpied y an edifice, no matter how perfect may be its architecture. ‘bis proposition comes to me without any previous consideration. I mast confess that in every aspect of it it dges not commend itse!f to my approval. THE CITY POST OFFICE SITE, “Iwas on the subcommittee which located the eity post office, and we condemned an en- tire biock on Pennsylvania aveitue for ihe pur- poses of @ city post office. It was expected then, and stated in the debate when opposi- tion ‘was made to that proposition in t that a portion of the building to be co upon the ground which we condem ost office could be used for the pur; istriet of Columbia. Asa matter of course, all that building cannot be taken up by the city post ofiice. It is contemplated that a portion of the business of the General Post Oftice De- partment will be transferred to that building; but even if that shonld be done there will still Ve fa large portion of it which can be used for will again become a giant.

Pennsylvania University students are in high | glee over the result of the Yale mass meeting, | voting to do away with the team limitation rale | Action as passed at the recent meeting of the Inter- collegiate Foot Ball Astocietion in New York. P ost Pepper signified his interest ia the | ir and bis pleasure at the prospect of a con- iouation of that unifying university spirit which he has been working for so ardently for | ‘o many years by telegraphing felfcitations to | the foot ball committee, Capt. Mackey says the subject has been thrown open by this action to the eco! deiibera- tion which it deserves at the hands of both students and faculty. That the time between and the May meeting will be sufficient for | and careful ciscussion of the question by the colleges, and as Yale's position is no r tenable there will be no difficulty in | ng the orig:nel amendment. H However much ‘ne question of barring the avenues of professionalisia may be agitated, it | is not likely that any of the universities will con- sent to have their «trength impaired. Interest, financial and other tise, willbe want- ing in such case, for no team will be supported when a part of her students are ck Leased. As a result of negotiations which, as stated in ‘Tux Stax, were began more than a year ago, a New York racing syndicate have leased the Ivy City race track for aterm of three years and propose to have a epring running meeting carly next month. The negotiations were cou- ducted, it is understood, by Congressman Tim Dwyers and Richard Croker, the Tammany chieftain, are behind the movement. The terms of the lease are that the syndicate shall bear all the expenses of putting the track in condition and improving the buildings. They will pay 25,000 rent for the first year, $6,000 the second, $7,000 the third. It is aid, however, that before the third year has expired the syndicate will have purchased the track or have secured @ majority of the stock. ‘The syndicate leasing the ity track, it is un- derstood, are now negotiating forthe Pimlico track at Baltimore and have completed ail ar- rangemente for the establiehment of a track on Long Island. The A. A. U. Award: The trouble over the prizes for individual ex- cellence offered by the A.

Unless the committee on appropriations can present some overwhelming reason for tak- ing the ground in front of the market place that it should not be done. In addition to that, any Senator who happens to know the fact that it is not of the shape and dimensions for sucha building as contempiated by this have some information in regard to obtaining other ground, but as the park now is no smit- aole building for the purposes to which this is proposed to be dedicated ean be put upcn that e “Bat, Mr. President, over and above all, Itdo protest against putting this proposed building there upon Penns: avenue, climinating that park—and I use the word advisedly—de- facing this magnificent boulevard by any such | structure. If we are to put public buildings upon that avenue, it should be done the greatest care. I vhould be glad to see such edifiess as the government needs hereafter luced upon that side of Pennsylvania avenue, Dut twonld nover destroy one of these parks, T have persivtentiy and consistently as a mem- ber of the committee on public buildings and grounds fought every proposition to do away with asingle park in the city of Washington. “*{ believe that every Senator will agree with me that the most charming feature of this city Is it possible that the governmen of the United Stetee, this immense government, is reduced to the necessity of destroying one of these parks upon this magnificent boulevard in order to put up a District building? MR. M'MILLAN THINKS THE SITE UNSUITABLE. Mr. McMillan, chairman of the District com- mittee, said that he was much surprised that the Commissioners had selected this site for the building. ‘There was not, however, any doubt that such a building should be built. “We are now paying some £36,000 a year rent. nd we can well afford to erect » handsome structure, costing, way, 2500.00, and to con- demn enough land’on Pennsylvania avenue, the same as we did for the city post office, so as to iake a handsome square, and erect « building that will be of proper design and be a credit to the District. ‘this piece of ground proposed to be taken is only seventy-five feet deep. It is a long, narrow strip in an angle. I think it will be very unsuitabie for such a building and I shall cerfainly oppose taking it.” Mr, Morgan thought the corner of 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue was the most danger- ous spot in the city for women and children on account of the crossing of the two cable lines, and the erection there of the city buildin would draw an increased crowd, and he consid- ered it an extremely reckless thing to do. CHOSEN PY THE COMMISSIONERS. Mr. Allison explained that the amen .t was placed in the bill at the request of the Commissioners, but before doing so they had made what investigation they could regarding the site. It would be 150 feet from 7th street and the seme from Jth street. It would close up what in his opinion was a very shabby appear- ance at that portion of the avenue. “We find the situation today just as we have found it for & good many years; and when we are seeking | to make an appropriation for » municipal building we always find an objection herg and there to the location. The District of Colum- bia has been for ten or twelve years without municipal building. Iknow if this beginning is not made and this space is not used for this purpose, while it may be in the dreams of Senators a wise thing to acquire the lot on Penn- sylvania avenne for this purpose, that dream will not be realized in the near future.” The amendment was rejected. THE CONTAGIOUS HOSPITAL. Mr. Stewart called attention to the fact that the selection of the site for the contagious bos- pital had been left to the Commissioners and stated that several citizens had spoken to him, as they feared that a location might be made in the northern or western portion of the city. ‘They thohght that if the hospital was located in that portion of the city the result might be dangerous to the health of the city, as the prevailing winds were from that quarter. Mr. Allison thought that the matter was eafe in the hands of the Commissioners and that they had in view the selection of some ggrern- ment land near the insane asylum. THE UUNTON LICENSE BILL. Mr. McMillan offered as an amendment to the bill what is known as the Hunton license bill. Mr. Hunton made a concise and effective statement of its provisions and the necessity | for such legislation. After @ brief discussion the amendment was agreed to. ‘The language of this amendment is the same as that of the so-called Hunton license bill, which provides fenslties for enforcing the existing license W Mir. Call offered an amendment to allow the Commissioners to contract with charitable in- stitutions for the care of paupers, but on the suggestion of Mf. Allison the amendment was withdrawn, YOR CHEAPER LIGHT. ‘Mr. Call also offered an smendment allowing the Commissioners to make contracts for the lighting of the city with any company that would furnish the same quality of gas or electricity atareduction of 20 per cent from the price w paid. He submitted the amendment, he said, there is a great public evil to which the people of this city are subject. The enormous ¢ imposed for electric lights t are wholly unjustifiable and are ‘the first time since the bad weather and be ouly feat ing and anxious to swell his record, and so he arrested the young man.

Mr. Galiinger offered # similar amendmext, except that it referred to companies already es- tablished. He said that at the Virginia end of the Chain bridge was a company’ of ample fa- cilities, whith would furnish the electric light- ing of Washington for $834 per cent less than the present price. Senators Allison and Cockrell explained that the present contract does not expire until 1894. Mr. Allison specially objected to tacking on such amendments at this lute stage of an ap- propriation bill. 1e amendment was disagreed to, THE CHILDREN'S GUARDIANS. Senator Vest said that during the closing hours of the last session ® Dill had been passed creating a board of children’s guardians of no respousibuiity in anybody, who were empawered to go to the various institutions and farm out any child they saw fit. ‘The bill passed through the inattention of the Senate, and but for in- attention could never have become a law. It was an unpleasant commentary upon legisia- tion, but i: was a fact, was ashamed for himself, and did not believe that he could have been in the Senate when the bil! passed. He expected to have the pleasure of intro- Cucing a bill for its repeal at the next session. ‘There being uo further amendments the bill was reported to the Senate and assed. ‘The Senate then adjourned.

He was then knocked down bya blow from the con- siuble’s club, securely bound and taken to the place of trial. He was fined $2 and costs for trespassing on his father-in-law’s property, and for threatening the life of Mr. Eugene A. Fowler he was held for the action of the grand jury under $250 bonds. The necessary bail was farnished by bis mother and he was re- leased. A warrant has been issued for Spencer Chase, colored, on the charge of robbing Mr. James W. Walker of Biadensburg of $3 and a hat last Saturday night. The colored people of Bladensburg will bold a meeting in that village next Monday night for the purpose of making arrangements for participating in the emancipation parade. Mr. W. P. Magruder has purchased for $1,000 the Shafer meadow in Bladensburg, which can- sisted of cighteen acres, Mrs, Nellie Oilandorf died at her late resi- dence near Riverdale last Monday and was buried yesterday in the Congressional cem- etery. Achild of Mr. and Mrs, White, who reside near Landover, died last Monday of “‘icedinhea” after an illness of several hours. The physi- cians say that this disease resembles the Asiatic cholera, Mr. N.C. Darnall of Bladensburg is quite sick at his home in that village. A large meeting of the Democratic Club of the “Neck” was held at that place last Tuesday evening, and several prominent democratsfrom Bladensburg were present. D: 8. Hull was given a pleasant sur- ir at bis home in this village last Tuesday night, ‘The Oak Leaf Pleasure Club gave an intor- esting and well-attended entertainment in their club rooms on Johnson and Pike avenues last ‘Tuesday night. The home of Mr. Page, situated about half a mile from Belteville, caught fire a few evenings ago and burned to the ground.

The committee further re- ported that Commissioners Ross and Rossel to be favorable to ‘the bill, but that Commissioner Douglass was strongly opposed to any bridge at that point except the much talked of Memorial bridgo to be constructed by the United States government. Ase part of its report the committee read the decision of Engineer Davis of the United States War De- partment in last night's Star, advising that the Dill be not passed. The comrgittee stated that the adverse decision of the War Depart- ment seemed to be based upon one fact, that the | government did not waut the bridge of a pri- | vate corporation there, because it would inter-J fere with the building of the Memorial bridge. ‘The meeting wax a large one. Speeches favoring the bridge were made by Messrs. Hatch, Hainey, Hayes, Lyons, M. C. Sunson, Dr. C. B. Munson, Messrs. Corbett, Veitch, Wibirt, Palmer, Clements end others.” A com- mittee of 101 citizens was authorized to bring | the matter prominently before the Virginia | Senators and Representatives in Congress and ask them to press the bill to its passage at this session if possible. The chairman will announce the committee in a few days. A discussion then followed upon the question of forming a per- manent county organization for the improve- | ment of the county generaily, an: committee, consisting of Dr. C. B.

A Man Severely Beaten at the Car June- tlon, In Judge Kimball's court this morning a young colored man answering the name of Chas, H. Carter was arraigned on the charge of assaulting Mr, Erastus L. Hawks, who has an ofiice in the Loan and Trust Company's build- ing. Lawyer Ricks appeared for tho prisoner and said he would demand a jary trial. “What bond will your honor require?” asked counsel. “I will ask the court to ix the bond at $500,” said Mr. Muilowney. Mr, Ricks thought that amount excessive in a case of simple assault, “Is it an ordinary assault?” the court in- ‘ed. Mullowney’s re- is wife had just gotten off a car at Pennsvivania avenue and 7th street when he was aseauited by severat colored men, Carter is the only one under arrest now. | While the aseault wasan unprovoked one [can't say that there was any attempt at robbery: - Judge Kimbail finally fixed the bond at $400 and the case went over. ‘The assault occurred about 1 o'clock yester- day morning at the sireet car junction, corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street. Mr. Hawks and his wife were on their way home ai the time and when they got off the cars there were several colored men near the junction. | For no cause whatever they assaulted Mr. Hawks and severely beat bim about his face, bruising him considerably. Mra. Hawks was not troubled, but she was so badly frightened thut she is now confined to her bed. Shae Poor Gas and Big Bills. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I reside in one of the smaller houses in the northwestern portion of this city, and desire to call the particular attention of Senators and Representatives to the poor quality of gas that has been furnished the government and the citizens of Washington since the early part of last December by the Washington Gas Light Company. Ard i also desire to call the atten- tion of the law makers to the enormous profits that are realized by that corporation from the poor gaa which Congress has given it the ex- elusive right of furnishing to the unfortunate citizens of this disfranchised city—a corpora- tion that it ke: persistently refueed to control, regulate or interfere with. During the last six or seven weeks each one | of the gus burners in my house has furnished a light of not more than 50 per cent of one candle power.

An eight-year-old girl ran into the ealoon on Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn, ehortly after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and remarked that her mother had been shot. The bartender recognized the child as a member of the family of Jacob Plimmer, a bookmaker, who occupied one of the floors abore the snloon. The police were notified and an investigation was begun. Mra. Plhmmer was found dead in a bed room on the second floor with a bullet wound in her head. Her husband was also shot through the abdomen, and although conscious | was believed to be dying and was immediately taken to the Methodist Hospital, After his ar- rival at the hospital Plimmer was able to tell something about the tragedy, but his story was not at all coherent. He said he quarreled with his wife Just as he.came ‘home to dinner. The dispute ‘became very bitter and his wife shot him with a thirty-two ealiber revolver. Then she turned the weapon on hereelf. killing her- self almost instantl Harry Howard, the dead woman's brother, also a bookmaker, says that Plimmer hed been neglecting his wife and three children for some fime and that it is more than probable that the fatal qrarrel was about home. matters.
