While, as has been stated, the bill as it is passed is unsatistac- tory in several details, | yet the importance of the principle involved has been for years recognized by Congress and the citizens generally. The pian of the city, and especially its most characteristic feature,the broad streets, was regarded as the height of absurdity up toa few years azo, Now its advantages are appre- ciated ard Congress by this new Inw has set the seal of its legislative approval upon the fit ness of thi plau for municipal purposes and has decreed that it shou!d be made coextensive | with that of the District of Columbia. Four or five years ago Congress by law put a stup to the deviations from the plan of the city which mark the older subdivisions and directed that no subdivisions — should = bes made unless in accordance with that plan, This law has been enforced by the Commissioners, with some minor exceptions, when inierested prop- erty owners have induced the local rulers to exercive the discretion which the law of 1883 and the new law gives allowed certain de- vintions, But as was stated above there are only a few subdivisions made subsequent to the | law of 1888 which are no. in harmony with the urban yp: » donvt property owners will endeavor to convince the Commissioners that a k-like arrangement of curving streets and ing siretches of ground are much more ities Favor ER-volver Work by Troop A and Light Battery A—How the Second Regi- | ment Wiil Receive Its Crosses and Buttons After a while there will probably bea great rush of sharpshooting talent to thegifle gallery.

All Paris Astounded by the Suddenness of | the Event. M. Ferry’s death, announced in last evening's Stan, was caused by heart disease. The affec- tion of the heart, from which M. Ferry suffered, was dne to the effects of a bullet striking a rib near the base of the heart at the time he was attacked by Aubert in 1887, He was seized with spasms eariy in the morning, and despite every effort made by the physicians who were , hastily summoned the convulsions continue] to grow in violence until at 6 o'clock in the eveu- ng he expired in a terribly severe spasm. | Mme.

LODGE’S VACANT SEAT. - THE NATIONAL GUARD SstersiSivect west SE REAL ESTATE GOSSIP. | nowy som nomenon = mat cm Correspondence of The F venine Star. Bostox, March 16, 1893. Senator Lodge's vacant congressional seat is the cynosure of all eyes in Massachusetts. The special election has been ordered for April 25 and nominations under the law must be made on or before April €. Within the next six weeks two campaigns must be fought—one for the nomination and one for the election. From present appearances both will be sharply con- tested. There are two democratic and three re- publican candidates in the field. The republi- cans are W. E. Barrett, speaker of the house; Mayor Elihu B. Hayes of Lynn and ex-Senator Arthur B. Champlin of Chelsea. ‘The demo- crats are Dr. William Everett of Quincy and W. N. Osgood of Maiden ‘On ‘the democratic side there is, however, little doubt as to who the candidate will be. Dr. Everett has run several times in the district against Mr. Lodge and has sufficient hold on the district organization to secure the nomina- tion. There is a little opposition to him on the ground that he does not reside in the district. enanimity the democracy of the seventh district has con sented to be led to defeat year after year br this learned ex-territorial aspirant One would think that the local pride of such a splendid constituency would demand representation by some of the bright young democrats who reside there. It was some such considerations as these that emboldened Mr. Osgood of Maiden to come forward, He is not unknown to his party. He bas run twice on the democratic icket for kecretary of state, and is very popa- lar. But the edict has gone forth, and a democratic xiate committeeman expresses it, | “Osgood will not make ang trouble.” A battle royal is promixed for the republican nomination, Speaker Barrett and Mayor Haves are both past masters in the arts of political campaigning. Ex-Senator Champlin is only formidable as a compromise candidate. Speaker Barrett has the advantage of an early start. He has long bad his eye on Con- gress, He has wished to return as Congress- man or i—to the scenes of his rep nisin Wash- ington. The new seventh disirict was not carved out to suit Mr. Lodge or his friends. Speaker Barrett was the chies engineer in that fent of surveying, and he took c boundaries shoud be as f sible to the political fortunes of the gentleman from Melrowe. Perhaps nothing proves the streng of the than the ' fact that ina district so constructed the only member of the icgisiaiure who did not favor Mr. Lodge for Seuator was the representative from Melrose. Mr. Harrett stood alone im his opposition to the Nauant statesman, and even he came into the foid at tMe eleventa hour. ‘Once in the speaker's chair Mr. Barrett be- gan to court the favor of the seventh district delegation in tue house, who had been elected for the express purpose of checking his sena- | torial aspirations. They were given good aces on the standing committees, appointed on special commit d the more prominent were cailed to the chair when the speaker could not himself wield the gavel. The result is that Mr. Barrett has outspoken supporters in the city of Lynn itself. Among them are | Representatives Lewis H. Bartlett, chair- of the Lynn city committee; A.

IN THE HOTEL CORRIDORS, “The hanging of Schneider,” sad Capt. A. W. Barrett of Los Angeles to Tux Stam repre- [sentative at the Ebbitt, “recalls to me the lynching of seven men at one time that I wjt- nessed near Fort Mason in Texas about twenty years ago. “I was then engaged in the railroad basiness. There had been fora long time disputes and fends among the cattle men of Texas and the feeling between the different factions tan ve high. Stock stealing and murder were of frequent occurrence. In those days the country was very sparsely settled and lawless. There was a German who was engaged in buy- ing cattle, He was suspected, whether justly or not I cannot say, of running off stock and rounding them up with bis own cattle. He was arrested, together with six of his cowboys, and brought to the jail at Fort Mason. “Some of his enemies decided to hang the whole lot They repaired to the jail, broke in (which was not a very difficult matter), and mounting the unfortunate men upon horses made for a big tree abouts mile anda half from the jail.

DR. EVERETT. With Dr. Everett in the field it will be a pic- turesque campaign, whoever the republicans nommate, Dr. Everett is one of the unique characters in New England polities. He enjoys the distinction of being the son of the late Ed- ward Everett and is fifty-three vears old. He isa graduate of Harvard College, of Trinity College, Cambridge, England, and of the Dane Law School. He was admitted to the bar in 1866, but never practiced law. _ In 1870 he was appointed tutor in Latin at Harvard College and assistant professor in 1873, a position he held until 1877. The next year be was male master of Adams Academy in Quincy, a posi he now holds. Dr. Everett has also bad experi- ence as a minister. In 1872 he was licensed to preach by the Boston Association of Ministers and occupied Unitarian pulpits in various parts of the country. ‘This very week he had a chance to accept the pastorate of tho Unitarian Church at Quincy, but would only take it for six months, while the church wanted a per- manent pastor or none. ‘The report that he would accept the cail and retire from politics created quite a flurry among the faithful. It is now believed to. be decided that Dr. Everett will not accept an ecclesiastical berth until he has had one more chance at a congressional seat. Dr. Everett affects none of the arts that are popularly supposed to be indispensable to a tical earcer. He basa code of social ett quette which is entirely original, but he has no d to protect it by a patent. It is in no dan- ger of imitation or infringement. His strength fies in his platform addresses. and bere be con- siders himself as invulnerabie as Achilles.
