Offers Made for = Controlling Interest in the Metropolitan and Columbia Roads. ‘The negotiations for street railroad property are still on. and the syndicate which a few weeks ago bought the Belt and the Eckington roads have not as yet abandoned their original purpose to include the Metropolitan 2nd the Columbia roads in the deal. It is understood that the sticking point in the transaction is quite a wide difference of opinion as to the value of these two properties. The most re- cent move is said to have been made on Satur- day, when it is understood that an offer of $140 per share for a controlling interest in the Metropolitan and $115 per share for a similar voice in the management of the Columbia was made and wes not accepted. As the stock of | both roadsis quoted at much lower figures on the local stock exchange it is evident that the present owners have « pretty good notion of the value of the properties. It is of course not known what the outcome of the present nego- | tiations will be, but there seems to be a pretty | well-defined opinion in some quarters that the end is near at hand. It is understood that some ofthe smailer owners of Metr litan stock are anxious to accept the offer that bas been made, whiie on the other band the large owners | are holding out with the expectation of getting a better price. ‘The selling price of the latter ciass among the Metropolitan stockholders is said to be $175 per share, while it is under- stood that the Columbia steck can be had for $140 per share. It is generally agreed that the latter road is not wanted unless the former road can also be obtained. ‘The Driver Exonerated. Deputy Coroner Schaeffer held an inquest at the sixth precinct station yesterday morning to determine the responsibility for the death of Garnett Murray, the boy who was killed by one of Knox's express wagons in the Baltimore and Potomac freight yard Saturday morning, as published in Saturday's Stax. The testimony | showed the facts as printed Saturday, that the affair was purely accidental. aud a verdict ex- | onerating the driver was returned by the jury. —_ Death of Mrs. Sarah Lloyd.

Ex-Policeman Loome Charged With Selling Liquor Without « License. Charles Loome was member of the metro- | politan police force some months ago, but owing to unfortunate c: he severed | his connection with the fotee and opened = | dairy lutch room at No. 510 10th street north- west. For a long time he confined his business to milk and pastry and then he furnished more | “talent” of the club, which, with a number of | ®olid food. His customers were not satisfied with solids, so it is alleged by the police, and they wanted liquids With whieh to make their eating more enjoyable. Something stronger than water was wanted, and Loome being of an accommodating disposition got in the nec- eseary stock of intoxicants and had a colored boy to look after that part of the business. This business, however, was conducted in a back room, according to the informa- tion of lice, Satur- day afternoon about 5 o'clock when Sergt. Moore and Officers Garraway and Kil- martin went there they found a good supply of liquors, which they took to. the station as evi- dence, and the proprietor being unable to give bail was locked up. This morning he was taken to the Police Court, where his counsel, Mr. Fulton, demanded a jury trial. : ‘Judge Kimball fixed the bond at $1,000 and the ease was continned. ‘The officers will probably file another charge inst the defendant charging a violation of same law on another day. psec A Noah and the Ark. To the Eaitor of The Evenune Star: T little thought when I made my jocose refer- ence to Noah and the ark by way of illustra- tion that I was going to arouse so much biblical and scientific eriticiem. “Of course the “forty days” should have been as to the dura- tion of the rain rather than the time he was out in the ark, although the seventeenth verse of “ienesis, seventh chapter, says: “And the flood forty days upon the earth,” which would naturaliy convey the idea that that was the length of the voyage, for if he found the t=1p as disagreeable ax ours was he certainly woul want to get ashore as soon as possible. especially when we remember the freight he had on board. But I call the attention of J. H. B. to the fact that “the very definite Mosaic account,” upon which he bases his statement of one year and ten days, also contains some other equally “defini statements. Among other things it says that “all the high hills that were under the whole heaven were covered; that fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail and the mountains were covered.” And again, Gen. viii:5. it says that on the first day of the tenth month “were the tops of the mountains seen.” * According to the tables given in the edition of the Bible published by Holman, Philadel- phia, 1883, the sacred cnbit is nineteen and five- tenth inches and the common cubit is eighteen inches. ‘The Egyptians, Romans and Hebrews had still a different cubit. Taking the sacred cubit as the mensure it appears, according to the “very definite” stateme 20, it DECIDING THE LIQUOR CASE. Judge Miller Disposes of It This’ After- neon. Judge Miller began in the Police Court iste this afternoon the delivery of his decision in the Bush liquor case. In disposing of the case the judge com- mended counsel on both sides for their clear Presentation of the facts in the caso as wall as law. ‘The court first referred to the act of 1871, in which among other business licensed was the liquor traffic. That act defined wholesale and re- tail dealers and prescribéd the hcense fee to be granted under the act of 1871. The court referred to the decision of the of the Commissioners were defined, ‘ord sald he had defined the basis for the issuance of the license to Bush. Following this the court referred 1 the de- cision in the Nau case, in which the chief justice in his decision incidentally remarked that ‘this was an act for revenue. penalty in that case was for not paying the revenue. The decision was not that the act was entirely a Tevenue act on account of the penalty clause. The courts of the country from the United | The States Supreme Court down bad held that the business was within the pale of police controls The license, it seemed, could undoubtedly be rey by the legislative power. That was clearly indicated in the body of the license: and the licensee knew that when the license was taken out. Licenses were taken out with the knowledge that they could be revoked when directed by legislative power. No officer could make a contract of this kind which could not be afterward re- voked. The liquor licenses issued here were like those issued elsewhere in the states. The judge was still delivering his decision when Tux Star's report closed, but it is evi- dent that it is against the liquor dealers. csmarttir wii A GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENT. A Colored Man Badly Injured by Being Run Over by an Engine. There was a serious accident on the grade crossing at Ist street and Virginia avenue south- west about 10 o'clock this morning. ‘The vie- tim was a colored.man named Armstead Nick- ings, who lived at No. 41 E street southwest. There was a train of cars on the north track and the gates were down. Nickings became impatient because the crossing was blockaded too long and being ina hurry he passed under the gg and went between the cars. Jumping to the south side of the train he landed in front of engine No. 184, which was in motion, and before the engineer, John David- the water rose twenty-three and hundredths feet. Now, as we know that Mount Everest of the Himalaya range is over 29,000 feet high, a very little figuring will show that the water, instead of covering the top of that mountain, would have reached only one-twelve hundred and fourteenth part of the distance toward its top, and if we measure the accuracy of J. B. H.'s statement that Noah was outs year and ten days by the same ratio it will be seen that Noah was out only seven hours, twenty-four min- utes and forty-eight seconds. If we accept the still more definite statement of Lieut. Totten, a less time than that above stated. In either case I think I may more than ever claim that our trip beat Noah’s. ‘As between the two I think I should take the statement of J. H.B.,for if the newspaper statements are correct, according to Totten, this world is to come to'end in a few months, just asT heard Miller predict and saw him Prove it by figures in 1843, just as scores of others before him had set’ and proven other dates as the time when it was to occur, and hence I must be excused for not accepting him as authority on these subjects, So, too, it must be apparent to all, I think, that it will hardly do to insist literally upon the biblical statements about Noah and the ark any more than on the equally definite statement by the same writer that “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them” in «ix days, or on the statement that the earth was fiat, formerly insisted upon by the church, and for doubting wich men were punished in former times. On these questions it seems to me that the “higher criticism” of the present day is much more ressonable and far more in accord with science and fact. w March 25, 1893. a Dainty Novelties for the Ladies. Spring is here, at least that was the conclusion reached by the crowds which attended the Eas- ter and spring opening today at the Palais Royal. Such dainty shadex and such stylish creations of the new modes were exhibited, wi il the freshness which can only be found when tock is newly opened. The stylish colors of lavender and purple in a great variety of shades are found in stockings, ribbons and gloves, 0 that from the stock the ladies can select every- thing to match. The Jine of capes, which are all the style, is so full that it is not necessary to have more than one of the same color and de- sign. The capes are in satin, velvet and lace. ‘There is a great assortment of waists displayed, Mr. W. Wright: Paulina, Miss A.

See ‘The Filtration of Water. One of the papers read at the meeting of the Biological Society Saturday evening in the hall of the Cosmos Club was an interesting dis- cussion of the bacteriology of Potomac water by Dr. Theobald Smith of the Agricultural De- partment. The paper had special reference to the filtration of water for the purpose of remov- ing disease germs and the speaker said that large percentage of the bacilli could be removed from water by ordinary filtration. The sand filter was pronounced the most effective for re- moving germs and vegetable matter, but in water like that of the Potomac, which carried largeamount of fine sediment in suspension. these filters were likely to become clogged in a short time. Settling basins were also discussed and the lecturer stated that in reservoirs where the water was allowed to stand fora considerable length of time the germs of disease died out, No especial aystem of filtering was recom- mended, but the question of methods to be pur- sued was one which was worthy of the most patient study and scientific investigation. goatee te Marriage Licenses.
