A QUARREL AMONG WORKINGMEN WITH A TRAGIC | ENDING—THE RESULT OF THROWING PEBBLES —A DEATH THIS MORNING AT THE HOSPITAL— AN INVESTIGATION TODAY. William Johnson, the colored man killed at Benning yesterday, as published in yesterday's Stan, was a member of a gang of laborers with @ work train. The men were ballasting the | tracks near Deanwood station at the time the | fatal accident happened. ‘The gang of men dis- cussed Johnson’s sad end for awhile, but there was one man in the party who did not be- heve in carrying the sorrowful burden all day. He was Elijah Barton, and he broke the gloom when he threw several pebbles at another mem- ber of the gang named Thomas Brown. Brown was ina position which rendered it impossible to see the man who was making » target of him,and finally he asked: “What is throwing at me The epithet angered Barton, who was standing in a box car at the time, and he left the car. Going over to Brown he asked the latter if he meant what he had said, and being told that he did Barton took his pick from the handle and usedthe handle on Brown's bead. One blow was all that was necessary to lay low his victim. and | after he had inflicted the blow he was the first | end one of the most earnest workers in an ef- fort to restore the victim to conciousness. In this attempt the men failed, and finally Police- man Kenny was summoned and took charge of both the injured man and Barton. When the city was reached the injured man was taken to the bospitul and the prisoner locked up at the fifth precinct station. The injury to Brown's head was such that recovery was impossibie and this morning he died. The deceased was about thirty-five years old and ieaves a wife and four children.“ Barton is not yet thirty years old. Both men lived in Anne ‘Arundel county, Md.

At So’clock this afternoon the inquest was begun at the sixth precinct station, where the witnesses, railroad men and members of the gang of laborers related their version of the affait a AFTER THE DAIRY FARMERS. Dr. Hammett Wan Law That Will Re- quire Them to Register. Health Officer Hammett has made another move in the direction of procuring better milk for the people of this city. The prosecutions for the sale of watered, skimmed or adulterated milk have all been against the local dealers, and Dr. Hammett is satisfied that many of ‘them dispose of the milk as they recsive it, and are not therefore guilty of tampering with the milk. The doctor thinks, therefore, the pro- ducers should be proceeded against instead of the local dealer. In order to get some hold on the producers Dr. Hammett thinks there ought to be a law compelling them to register, if such law could be made and enforced. Ina letter to the Commissioners Dr. Ham- mett transmits the report of Prof. Hird, the chemist who had charge of the prosecutions, DB. HAMMETT'S LETTER. In the letter Dr. Hammett says: “I have the honor to transmit herewith the ro- port of milk analyses made by Prof. Hird, chemist of this department, and to state in con- nection therewith that the Police Court has de- cided that this department has no ordinance under which dealers in skimmed or dirty milk, or milk that may be contaminated, can be prosecuted. I would, therefore, suggest that an order be issued by the Commissioners re- quiring that all dealers in dairy products who sell one or more gallons of milk duily shall be licensed as such dealers, and shall so be reg- istered in a book kept by the health officer, and that such dealers shall also furnish the names, locations and addresses of the producers who mye furnish the milk; also that the followin; lations be adopted and promulgated viz: ated, reduced or changed in any respect by the addition of water or other substances, or by the removal of cream, shall be brought into, held, kept or offered for sale at any place in the Dis- trict of Columbia; nor shall any dealer or other rson keep, have or offer for sale in the said rict of Columbia any such milk. “With are; in force many cases that are now thrown out upon technicalities could be successfully prosecuted and the public would be protected. PROF. BIRD'S REPORT. Prof. Hird’s report, accompanying the health officer's letter, is as follows: “] submitherewith a reportof the milk analy- ses for the month ending May 81. 1898: Number of analyses of samplescollected.... 157 Namber of analyees of samples from private Partial analyses. Total milk analyses . “Of the 157 first mentioned 54, or over 34 per cent, were below the 3 percent of fat and 12 Cent solids and bore direct evidence of hay- 1g been either skimmed or watered. ‘f8'5 per cent ranged from 8 to 8.5 per cent of butter fat. 22.9 per cont ranged from 8.5 to 4 per cent of butter fat. “13.8 per cent ranged from 4 to 434 per cent of butter fat. ae “5.7 per cont ranged from 4.5 up. “No artificial coloring matter has been found during the month in any of the samples. “I desire to again call attention to the large amount of foreign matter, stable manure, sand, dust, &c., which is almost invariably found as- sociated with the milk. Undoubtedly the producers in the country are responsible for this state of affairs, but as this office has no means of knowing the names or addresses of those producers, I would recom- mend that all dairymen be required to reginter their own names and addresses and that of their shippers at thi Such registry would also greatly facilitate the work of this office in the line of collecting samples and would reduce the same to a system. “I am of the opinion that such contamina- tion as taat spoken of might readily be the means of communicating disease, and that every effort should be made to elimi same from the milk supply of this city.” The Commissioners will probably act upon the suggestions of the health office at an early day, and the matter will probably be referred to Attorney Thomas for an opinion as to the legality of the proposed regulation. —— WON BY MISS DEAN. ‘The First Davis Prize at Columbian College Carried Off by a Girl Graduate.

Commencement Exercises of the McDonald- Ellis School at the Universalist Church. ‘Tis but a step from charming girlhood into beautiful womanhood, from the school room to the social world or the struggle for existence, but in the exercises which form the bridge there is beneath the veneering of enjoyment a deeper feeling of regret that the happy, Joyous days when the firmest friendships are begun and everything is sunshine are forover over... Ten sweet young Indies walked across that bridge of sighs last night at the Universalist Church bearing with them as one of the evi- dences of years of study adipioma from the McDonald-Ellis School, but each of them seemed fairly contented when that “sheepskin” was firmly in their hands, Scarce!y room enough in the church could be found to accom- modate the crowd of friends of the school and graduates who wished to be present, and even the gallery was more than filled. ‘The decorations, which were arranged by the undergraduates, were tasteful and profuse. Over the white covered platform, which was trimmed with flowers, was the motto of the class, “Plus Lucis,” and “"93” worked in foli- age. Each of the graduates had some part in the program, and the flowers which were pre- sented to exch were more than one could carry. The young Indies placed the flowers at their feet so that the effect was as though they were surrounded with a hedge of beautiful roses, sweet peas and carnations, ‘The exercises were varied in their character. A piano solo by Miss Agnes Peters preceded an essay by Mise Nannio ‘Krebs on the signif- cance of the class mtto, “Plus Lucis.” Misses Maude Bremond aud Mary Waite rendered ih splendid execution Moszkowski’s Spanish nce. Miss Ruth Miles received a hearty welcome after ber recitation of “Urashima,” as did Miss Anna Fry upon the conclusion of a well-written essay on “The First American Book.” A meritorious piece of verse was a class prophecy written by Miss Jennie Hunt. 1s forecasted the life of ench of the graduates in @ bright, happy vein that was particularly pleasing. | Misses Meta Munson and Catherine Graig played @ piano duet before Mise Nellie Thorn recited “The Organ Builder.” An original story with not a little literary merit was Miss Daisy Muilett’s portion of the exer- cises, The story was well constructed and very prettily written. Her efforts were much appreciated. “‘A Fable for Critics” was the topic of an excellent essay by Miss Evelyn Smith. Miss Miles was heartily encored for her rendition of the “Angels’ Serenade” and responded with De Koven's iow and Futuro.” “Lady Ger: "6 Court- ship” afforded Miss Florence Platt an oppor- tunity to prove herself capable of reciting a difficult pises with good effect. A piano solo by Heloise Ingersoll was a prelude to an essay on “Leaders” by Miss Hazel Henderson. ‘There was evidence of a clear, strong mind in the composition, with the ity to put thoughts into pleasing language. The essay was much above the average. ‘To Mixs Meta Boynton wa: allotted the honor of valedictorian. In its 6i plicity her farewell to teachers, schoolmates and classmates was indeed a farewell given from the heart. She spoke in a clear voice and intone that carried with it.the sincerity of her remarks. The valedictory was couched in pretty language and was delivered in excellent taste.

Judge Miller Has Two Interesting Cases Before Him This Morning. Judge Miller in the Police Court heard a sad story of drunkenness and brutality this morn- ing. The prisoner, Richard Callen, is a clerk in the War Department and lives on Carro!l street sdutheast near the corner of 2d street. He was in an extremely nervous condition, and ‘anlike most victims of rum he was ready to admit his fault and make promises of reform. Mrs. Cullen appeared as the prosecuting wit- ness, and told the court how a happy home had been wrecked. “All thee winter,” she said, “I have been afraid of him.” “Is bea good man when he is sober?" the court asked. “Yer, sir,” was her reply, “but he is seldom sober.” The wife then told of the trouble she had with her husband last night, but she made no complaint, thinking she could keep him quiet over night, He assaulted her, but she was able to defend herself, and finally she got him to a. "This morning shortly after 6 o'clock be got up and renewed the trouble. Then he as- g| saulted her, and her cries attracted Policeman Anderson, who arrested him. ‘The prisoner in his own defense said that his wife had struck him, but the latter said that she only defended herself. “If your honor will let_me go,” he said, “I will go to White Plains, N. ¥., where I have two sons, and take the Keeley gold cure.” “But,” raid the Judge, “if Tet you go you will get drunk as soon ax Fou get out.” m. your honor,” sid Cullen, “I will go New York this afternoon.” Judge Miller said he wanted to do what was best for the family. The wife, he said, was en- titled to protection, and he was going to give her the protection. "If there is any show to re- form the husband the judge said he certainly would not stand in the way. “Tam going to take the gold cure,” said Mr. Cullen, “T have got to do it. 1 can’t stand: this thing much longer.” ‘The judge took his personal bonds and he left the court with the intention of going to New York. A LIVELY FAMILY Row. ‘Thomas Babbington’s domestic troubles were also ventilated. The defendant, who was the most interested person in the case, is the pro- prietor of a licensed saloon at the corner of 1 and H streets northeast. Day before yesterday was not their first unpleasantness, nor was it the first time the husband and wife have sepa- rated. Over the bar room is the residence of al Babbington family, while the dining room and kitchen are on the first floor. All the witnesses ‘agreed as to the origin of the latest combat. Mra, Babbington called upon her husband for some cash, as she needed it ir the house, but the husband thought that his better half should remain in her part of the house and he would stay in the bar. ‘Tho door between the honse and the saloon was closed, but the wife held the ke: the husband could not keep it closed. During the progress of tho difficulty Mrs. Babbington hurled # plate at her husband's head. “she picked up the plateand threw it at me,” he said, ‘and at the same time she called me a “T didn’t call him anything of the kind,” in- terrupted the wife. But it was the wife's black eye that was under discussion, and the statements as to how it was inflicted differed. “My husband struck me,” said Kate, “She struck herself when she fell against the sideboard,” was Thomas’ explanation, When the defendant had made his ‘statement Mr. Mullowney took a hand in the cross-exami- nation. He asked: “How many times have you struck your wife?” “T never struck her i1 my Ife.” “Why, didn’t she have to leave you?” “No, I left her.” “five or six times?” on ‘sceount of her violent temper, I sup ven, ot." Then Mrs, Babbington bad something to say of the separations. ‘Sho said she had to do the leaving and not her husband. When she left she returned to her father’s home. and he told the court Babbington ali her life and she was a hard-working, industrious woman. He thought whe did not havea violent temper Lawyer Shillington argued the case for the defendant and Judge Miler disposed of it. The judge thought that the throwing of the plate was the beginning of the trouble, but he als thought that the husband went too far. For the assault a fine of $25 was imposed and he was also required to give a boud in the sum of $100 to keep the peace. ed The Female Pedestrians.

That the Presbyteri United States of America.in a case of a trial for horesy,cannot be excluded as an appellant from its own superior courts, on the plea of the pre- vious acquittal of the accused by the Presby- tery appealed from, because (a) this would operate asa bar to the exercise of its constitu- tional functions as the supreme judicatory of | the church, and (b) the ordination vow of every minister in said charch makes i it tory upon him to submit to the prov the Book of Discipline—that this is part of his contract with said church in entering its min- istry. 3. That in a case involving the doctrines of the standards of the church an appeal may lie directly from a Presbytery to the Gencral As- sembly and that it is within the discretionary power of the Assembly to entertain the appeal or refer it to the syaod. 4. That the Assembly, having decided to en- tertain the appeal, took equitable jurisdiction of the entire case, including all interlocutory complaints made to the Synod of New York. so that the rights of both parties were fully se- cured before this court, representing the wholo cburch. In sustaining the appeal: 1. The Assembly reversed the judgment of the Presbytery of New York acquitting the ac- cused. 2. It entered judgment that the appelice had | viointed his ordination vow, by teaching in hie “inaugural address” asa professor ina theo- logical seminary for the training of young men for the ministry of said chureh, doctrines con- trary to and subversive of its standards; and in the statement accompanying said judgment it seis out the errors of doctrine, which it de- clares to be the facts found, on which the de- fendant is adjadged guilt; 8.

A Pottawattainie ‘ells of the Promise ‘Offered by a New Society. “A new hope nas dawned for the Indian rac said John Wadsworth to a Star teporter tod: ‘Mr. Wadsworth is an Indian himself, a descend- ant of the famous Pottawattamie tribe that used to occupy thesite of Chicago. Mr. Wads- worth has just returned from New York city. “While in New York,” added Mr. Wadsworth, “I met a number of people who have organized & new movement, which promises more for the Indians than any other movement begun in their behalf in the history of the nation. It is based on the declaration that the land question iw at the root of the Indian problem and that if the lands are divided on the proper basis the Indian question will sottle itself. The move- ment is called the Indian Land Adjustment League. Here is what its platform declares, and I don't know an Indian who will not sup- port it: 1. The treatment of the Indians has long been @ national disgrace. The opening of Indinn lands to the whites is fast becoming another national disgrace. “Oklahoma” is as- sociated with the most ruthless timed of brutality, cupidity and greed. 2. The best system of distributing land among the whites and the Indians is one that would place all land seekers on a common basis of equality. 8. Allotment does not satisfy the Indians’ ideas of justice. They need some avstem that will equalize the differences in desirableness between the various pieces of land. 4. The opening of Intlian lands to settlement by the present method of scrambling givesevery advantage to the brutal and the unscrupulous. 5. There can be no solution of the Indian problem until a just division of lands is se- cured. 6. A system based upon the lense principle would insure a uiet, orderly selection of lands lingraceful eeizures of today. im to secure the adoption of wsuring the equal rights of in the lands, will remove the most powerful lement of discord between the two races. AN OPEN LETTER, “This platform an d lengueare the outgrowth of an open letter to President Cleveland by William E. Hicks of New Yorkin the Illustrated American of May 18. In this Mr. Hicks de- clared that, the present Iand openings are ‘worked’ by'an immense ring of land specu- Intors and that the real home seeker bas no chance as against the speculator. The open letter has caused much comment among the Indians in the west, as I learn by letiers from home. Sofar as I bave heard our peo le heartily indorse the position taken by Hicks. “The league is against allotment in severalty, and that is why it promises #0 much for boih Indians and whites. There have been delega- tions from the Indian nations in Washington since March 4, protesting against allotment. Allotment 18 against the Indian's idea of jus- tice, and to civilize him the whites must not run'counter to his ideas of justice. An Indian can see only injustice in paralleling out land, He can understand the division of property produced by human labor, but land is to him | the gift of the Great Spirit to mankind and cannot be divided without impniring the equal righis ofall init, Any system which would ineare the possession and use of portions of land by indi- vidual Indians without destroying the rights of ail in the lands would secure the Indians’ sup- port. In other words, they carry out toa logi- cal conclusion the whites’ principle of eminent domain by the state. “Allotment in severalty has been accepted as the best means of dividing lands among the Indians, simply because hitherto the opponents of it have been able to offer no substitute for it. ‘The Adjustment League offers this substitute in the application of the rental principle to the . 566; $4,000.
