The num- ber of persons residing therein were 6,798 divided into 1,360 families, The houses in- spected contained 8,946 rooms. Five hundred nnd twenty nuisances were found and 786 un- lawful garbage receptacles. Ninety-five prem- ises were sewered and 449 were without sewers. Dr. Hammett says in connection with th report: “In addition to the above, which in- cludes only the square-to-rquare inspections, T have to siate that of the number of nuisances reported. 22 were referred to older and more experienced officers of the department for | farther inspection, action and report, 285 nuisances previously reporved were returned as abated. In four cases a letter styled the Police Court letter has been sent to the delinquents, advising them that action will be taken against them in the Police Court unless the nuisance is immediately abated. ‘The District attorney bas been notified in two cases where warrants are required against Parties committing nuisances. Incidental to this service during the past week the inspect- ors have, under instructions, examined into and reported upon the style of plumbing work in each house inspected, and there were found 587 places without the modern plumb- ing. Where the old style plumbing, however, is in fair condition it must be permitted to re- main as there is no law ot ordinance by which achange to modern styles can be compelled, Dut in all cases where nuisances exist by reason of defective plumbing, lack of ventilation, foul end offensive odors arising, action ix at once taken by notification of the owners oF agents abate the nuisance, a reasonable tige for that purpose being allowed. The course being | followed in this cinss of nuisances is the same as in ali others as already referred to.

The premises of the | poorer clases | of our people, should also receive attention by furnishing them with lime to whitewash their houses, outbuilding: and fences, removing their ashes and debris and disinfecting their yards. If the means are afforded aud it isso desired I will be glad to suggest a plan for the thorough disin- fection of such places. In conelusion I would say that it has never been the custom of this office to send reports of nuisances and abatements found at private houses to the Commissioners unless by special order or request. Whenever found they have been dealt with under the regulations governing the department. Notwithstanding this rule I is- ued epecific orders when the house to house inspection was inaugurated that weekly con- solidated reports should be sent to the Com- | missioners, which has been done.” tors desea mam INSTRUCTIONS ‘OR DISINFECTION, j iis The San!

According to a Berlin dispatch to the New York Sun the Koelnische Zeitung is advocating the annexation of Samoa by Germany. This, it says, would solve all the difficulties which are thickening around the tripartite administra- tion. One power should be supreme on the islands, and should be ready to protect set- tlers, foster trade and keep the natives in order. This view is a fair reflection of official opinion. In the Beriin foreign office there is no doubt that the convention of 1889 is a failure.

THE MYSTERY OF TURNER FREEMAN—DEATH AT FIRST SUPPOSED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM INJURIES INFLICTED BAST CHRISTMAS THE DEPUTY CORONER SAYS THE INJURIES WERE OF RECENT DATE. Somewhere in the state of Ohio there isa well-to-do colored woman whose son's body is now lying in the morgue in this city. The mother is unaware of the death of ber so: ‘although she knows that he bas been living | here for the past ten years. Six months ago ‘she wrote him a motherly letter beg- ‘ging him to return home and comfort! | her in her old days, as his father had died and |ehe was alone. He bad determined, it is said, | to return to bis mother when he met with the | Violence to which his death is attributed. After a long period of sufering the poor man | finally died in poverty when he might just as well have been enjoying the luxuries of a com- fortable home in the west. The mau's name was Turner Freeman and bis occupation wre that of 2 bootblack. He was about thirty-three vears of age and those who knew bim regarded bim as a quiet, honest and inoffensive colored man. For about ten years he has lived in Pleasant alley south- west between G and H streets, and recently he has been siecping in an unoccupied house in that alley. Most of his time was spent in the Vicinity of Pennsylvania avenue and 6th street ‘and in addition to blacking boots he did odd jobs about the Elkton Hotel and other places in the neighborhood. HIS Last TLLNEAS, Ho was taken sick last Thureday morning at Lynn's saloon and was sent in a cab to Pleasant Subsequently be was taken to the fourth pre- cinct station for treatment. When he reached there he was unconscious, but he soon rallied and said to Officer Henry m sick and I want to go out to get some medicine.” Thinking Le wat over the spasm the officer permitted him to leave the station, and later in Pleasant alley. During the evening it was discovered that he was 6: to remove him to the hospi He was placed in the ambulance and the Ariver starte: reached there discovered that life was extinct, so the body was taken to the morgue. Ic was thought that frieuds would call for the body, but up to yesterday no one had cailed, then Dr. Schaeffer, the deputy corone: proceeded to make an autopsy. EVIDENCE OF VIOLENCE. Soon after the insertion of the surgeon's was due to violence. ‘There was evidence that a blow had been inflicted on the left breast in the region of the man's heart. Then the seal was lifted and more than one fracture of the skull was visible. At this poiat the autopsy was stopped and the doctor con- cluded to finish the iask today. In the meantime the janitor of the morgue attempted to ascertain something of the facts concerning the man’s death, A Szan reporter went over in South Wash- ington this morning and there met several sons who had known the deceased. There it was learned that hehad spent most of the last ten years in the vicinity of Pleasant alley, where he was re: by white and colored persons alike and no one bad a bad word for him. ‘The only objection to him was that he would drink liquor and that habit had grown on him to such an extent that he had not been very industrious for some time. BADLY BEATEN CHRISTMAS NIOHT. He had always enjoyed perfect health until he met with a misfortune Christmas night He left the vicinity of Pleasant alley and went down near the old James Creek canal with some companions and the next morni hus almost lifeless body was found an far from the waters ot that old death trap. Freeman was unconscious at that time and even after taken to being the hospital he remained in that condition for several days, Finally he recovered so far that |he was able to leave the ital, and then again he returned to Pleasant alley. a ursreRr. Who beat him and what the cause of the trouble was he would never teil. Those who were acquainted with him supposed that he was beaten by his companions, and for that reason he would not tell their names. He never did tell the names and will carry the secret to the grave. After his discharge from the hospital he had spasms and ffom time ta time he has been taken with them. Persons with whom he had his skull was probably fractured on Christmas night and that his lability to spasms or fits was one of its results, MIS INJCRIES NOW SAID TO HAVE BEEN RECENT This afternoon Deputy Coroner Schaeffer, assisted by Dr. W. C. Woodward, finished the autopsy, making a minute examination of the extended fractures of the ekull as well as of the injury to the brain, At 2:30 o'clock an inquest was held. Before the inquest was held Dr. Schaeffer said to a Stam reporter that the injury was un- doubtedly inflicted within twenty-four hours of the time of the man’s dentt. He thought that the deceased had probably been struck with a stone or kicked in the chest, and then the fall resulted in the extended fracture of the skull. DR. WOODWARD'S TESTIMONY. Dr. Woodward was the only witness exam- ined before the coroner's jury, the police not having made any investigation whatever of the affair so far as could be ascertained. Death, he said, was probably due to d sion of the brain, caused by clot of biood between the skull and the brain, Witness said the clot was due to a blow of some kind and the wound on the chest was evidently inflicted by some smooth instrument. He said there was no outward evidence of in- jury, but that such an injury could have been inflicted when the man was wearing his cloth- ing. without making a scar. Witness said that neither of the injuries gould have been inflicted three months ago. ‘They were of more recent date, and he thought they were inflicted within twenty-four hours of the time of death. Witness thought that either injury might have been re- ceived in fall. but that both of them could hardly have been received in that way as the in- juries were on opposite sides of the body. THE VERDICT. The jury returned a verdict that the de- ceased came to his death from cerebral bemor- rhage and fracture of the skull, the result of an injury inflicted by some person or persons to the jury unknown. —— THE REPAIK OF GAS LAMPS. ‘The Clause Under Which the Gas Company fs Considered Liable. Some time ago the Commissioners issued an order directing the Washington Gas Light Company to restore without extra compenca- tion the street designations on all lanterns on which street lamps are maintained. The gas light company demurs to the order in a letter to the Commissioners today and says that while it is most desirous of complying with all the requirements of its contract, there is no provision whatever in the contract re- quiting the replacing of broken street designa- tions.

The interstate commerce commirsion today, in an opinion by Commissioner MeDill, #n- nounced its decision of the case of Charles H. Brownell aceinst the Columbus ané Cincinnati Midland Eailroad Company in favo: of the de- fendant. The points decided are briefly as follows: Unreasonable or unjust classification of @ commodity is not shown by evidence of lower classification for articles widely dissimilar in the elements of risk, weight, bulk, value or general character. The proper method of comparison is the classification accorded by the carriers to annlogous articies. When an article moves in suficient voluma and the demands of commerce will be better served it is reasonable to give @ lower classification for car loads than that which is applied to less than car-loal quanti- ties, but the difference im such classi- fication should not beso wide as to be destruc tive to competition between largo and #mall dealers. ‘The justice of the claim for a lower rating on car load lots ean only be determined upon the facts an each case. ‘When mplaint of a carlond shipper un- just discrimination is alleged to result from equal rates on cariond and less than carload | quantities of the same ec + the burd, of proof is upon the comp!
