William Johnson, the colored man killed at Benning yesterday, as publjshed in yeaterday’s Sram, 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, end 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 target of him,and finally he asked: “What—— * The epithet angered Barton, who waa standing e epithet ange! who was si in a box car at the and he left the car.

In this attempt the men failed, and finally Police man Kenny was summoned and of both the injured man and Barton. When the city was reached the injured man was taken to the hospital and the prisoner locked up at the fifth precinet station., The injury to Brown's head was such that recovery was impoasibie and this morning be died.

Dr. Hammett Waots » Law That Will Re- quire Them to Register. Health Officer Hammett has made another move in the direction of. peocuring 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 dealers. In order to get some hold on the producers Dr. Hammett thinks there ought to be a law compelling them to register, if such slaw could be made and enforced. Inaletter to the Commissioners Dr. Ham- mett transmits the report of Prof. Hird, the chemist who had charge of the prosecutions. ‘DE. SAMMETT’s LETTER In the letter Dr. Hammett says: - “I have the honor to transmit herewith the re- 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 daily shall be licensed as such dealers, and shall also be reg- istered in a book kept by the health officer, and the names, locations and addresses of the producers who furnish the milk; also that the following regu- Istions be adopted and promulgated by the joners, “No milk which has been watered, adulter- ated, reduced or changed in any respect by the addition of water or other sul removal of cream, shall be kept or offered for sale at any place in the Dis- trict of Columbia; nor shall any dealer or other keep, have or offer for sale in the said District of ‘Columbia any such milk. “With such a regulation in force many cases thatare now thrown out upon technicalities could be successfully prosecuted and the public would be protected.’ PROF. HIRD'S REPORT. Prof. Hird's report, sccompanying the healtp officer's letter, is as follows: “I submit herewith a reportof the milk analy- ses for the month ending May 31, 1893:\ ‘Number of analyses of samplescollected Number of analyees of samplestrom private “Of the 157 first mentioned 54, or over 34 per cent, were below the 3 per cent of fat and 12 per cent solids and bore direct evidence of hav- ing been either skimmed or watered. “98.5 per cent ranged from 8 to 8.5 per cent of butter fat. “22.9 per cont ranged from 3.5 to 4 per cent of butter fat. 113.8 per cont ranged from 4 to 43¢ per cent of butter fat. = a No artificial coloring matter hes 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, send, 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 register their own uames and addresses and that of their shippers at this office. 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 sm of the opinion that such contamina- tion as that spoken of might readily be the means of communica! disease, and that every effort should be made to eliminate the 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 ss to the legality of the proposed regulation.

Thirty years ago Mr. Isase Davis, a philan- thropio citizen of Massachusetts, donated a fund to the Columbian College of this city for the purchase of gold medals for annual competi- tion in composition and eloquence by the grad- uating class of the university. This year's com- petition took place last night in the college chapel, and was witnessed by a large aadience, which included many ladies.

"Tis but step from charming girlhood into benutiful womanhood, from the school room t the sucial world or the struggle for existence, but in the exercises which form the bridge there is beneath the veneering of enjoyment @ deeper feeling of regret that the bappy, Joyous days when the firmest friendships are begun and everything is sunshine are forever over. Ten sweet young ladies 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 adiploma from the McDonald-Ellis School, but each of them seemed fairly contented when that ‘“‘sheepskin” was firmly in their hands. Scarcely room enough in the church could be found to accom- modate the crowd of friends of thé school and gradimtes who wished to be present, and even the gallery was more than filled. - The decorations, which were arranged by the | tindergradustes, were tasteful and * profuse. Over the white covered platform, which was trimmed with flowers, was the motto of the class, “Plus Lucia,” 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 ladies placed the flowers at their feet so that the effect was as though they vere rounded 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 Miss Nannie Krebs on the signifi- cance of the class motto, “Plus Lucia.” Misses Maude Bremond and Mary Waite rendered ith splendid execution Moszkowski's Spanish dance. Miss Ruth Miles received a hearty welcome after her recitation of “Urashima,” a8 did Miss Anna Fry upon the conclusion of well-written essay on “The First American Book.” A meritorious piece of verse was a class prophecy written by Miss Jennio Hunt. It forecasted the life of each of the graduates in bright, happy vein that was particularly lensing. Misses Meta Munson and Catherine ig played a piano duet before Miss Nellio Thorn recited “The n Builder.” An original story with not little literary merit was Miss Daisy Mullett’s portion of the exer- cises, The story was well constructed and very preitily 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 “Ange Serenade” and responded with De Koven’ “Past and Future.” “Lady Geraline’s Court- ship” afforded Miss Florence Platt an oppor- tunity to prove herseif capable of reciting a difficult piece 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, stroug mind in the composition, with the ability to put thoughts into pleasing language. ‘The essay was much above the average. To Miss Meta Boynton w: allotted the honor of valedictorian. in its sim- plicity her fareweli to teachers, schoolmates and classmates was indeed a farewell givon from the heart. She «poke ina tone that carried with it the sincority of her remarks. The valedictory was couched in pretty language and was delivered in excellent taste. Dr. Aspinwall preceded the presentation of the digtoaes to the following graduates with a few appropriate words: Meta Bornton, Hazel Henderson, Nannie Loa Krebs, Daisy C. Mul- lett, Evelyn Elise Smith, Anna'C, Frv, Jennie B. Hunt. Ruth G. Miles,’ Florence C.

Jnadge Miller Has Two Interesting Cases Before Him This Morning. Judge Miller in the Police Court beard a sad story of drunkenness and brutality this morn- ing. The prisoner, Richard Cullen, is a clerk in the War Department and lives on Carroll 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 apperred as the prosecuting wit ‘ness, and told the court how a happy home had been wrecked. “All the winter,” she said, “I have been afraid of hin.” “Is he a good mam when he is sober?” the court asked. “Ten, si, was her reply, “but he is seldom ida The wife thon 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 toa defend herself, and finally she got him to This morning shortly after 6 o'clock he got up and renewed the trouble. Then he as- saulted her, aud ber cries attracted Policeman Anderson, who arrested him. ‘The prisoner in his own defense said that bis wife had struck him, but the latter said that she only defended herself. “If your honor will Jet me go,” he said, “I will go to White Plains, N. ¥., where I have two sons, and take the Keeley gold cure." “But,” said the Judge, “if Llet you go you will get drunk as soon as you get out."” “No, your honor,” said Cullen, “I will go to New York this afternoon.”” E 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 gi her the protection. "If there is any show to re- form the husband the judge said be certainly would not stand in the way. “T am going to take the gold cure,” said Mr. Cullen, “I have got to doit’ 1 can’t stand this thing much longer.” ‘The judge took his personal bonds and he left the court with the inteation of going to New York. + A LIVELY FAMILY Row. ‘Thomas Babbington’s domestic troubles were also ventilated. The defendant, who was the most interested pergon in the case, is the pro- prietor of a licensed saloon at the corner of Ist 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 the Babbington family, while the dining room and kitchen are on the first door. All the witnesses agreed as to the origin of the Intest combat. Mrs. Babbington called upon her husband for some cash, as she needed it in the house, but the husband thonght that his better half should remain in ber part of the house and be would stay in the bar. ‘The door between the house and the saloon was closed, but the wife held the key and th husband could not keep it closed. During the rogress of the difficulty Mrs. Babbington iced plate ak hac huatand's he “She picked up the plate and thr: i id at the same time she called me a “I didn’t call bim 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 infheted differed. “My. husband struck me,” sald Kate. “She etruck 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?” “I never struck her ia my life.” “Why, didn’t she have to leave you?” lett her." ive or six times?” “Yes, sir.”” “On account of her violent temper, I sup pose?” “Yes, sir.” ‘Then Mrs. Babbington had something to say of the separations. She said she hadso do tl Jeaving and not ber husband. When she left returned to her father's home. Lieut. Kelley was called and he told the court that he hadknown Mrs. Babbington all her life and she was a hard-working, industrious j woman. temper. Lawyer Shillington argued the case for the defendant and Judge Mller disposed of it. The judge thought that the throwing of the plate was the beginning of the trouble, but he alzc thought that the husband went too far. For the assault a fine of @25 was imposed and he was also required to give a bond in the sum of $100 to keep the peace. oe The Female Pedestrians.

That the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America,in » case of a trial for heresy,cannot be excluded as an appellant from ita own superior courte, 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 it obliga- tory upon him to submit to the provisions of the Book of Discipline—that this is part of his contract with aid church in entering ite min- istry. 8. That in acase involving the doctrines of the standards of the charch an appeal may lie directly from a Presbytery to the General A»- sembly and that it is within the discretionary power of the Assembly to entertain the appeal or refer it to the synod. 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 whole clbureb ning th ; In sustaining the appeal: 1. The Amembly rererned the Judgment ‘of the Presbytery of New York scquitting the ac- cused. 2 Itentered judgment that the appelice had violated his ordination vow, by teaching in his “inaugural address” asa professor in a theo- logical seminary for the training of young men for the ministry of said church, doctrines oon- trary to and subversive of its standards; and in the statement accompanying said judgment it sets out the errors of doctrine, which it de- clares to be the facts found, on which the de- fendant is adjudged guilty. 8. The defendant, persisting in his determi- nation to tench thess errors, as stated in the finding of the court, the Assembly bad no alter- native but to suspend him from tho exercise of 3s official functions as @ minister in the Pres- ‘eyterian Chick, # That while 4 is the constitutional right of Presbyteries to formulate and settle the stand- ards of the church, it is the constitutional pre- rogative of the General Assembiy, as the highest appellate court. to construe those standards and to judicially declare their meaning and ap- plication ina case properly brought before it on appeal. : ‘Such, in brief, was the decision (by a vote of | 383 to 116) of the General Assembly, and 1t de- clares, »6 we believe, the judgment of four fifths of the entire membership of the Presby- terian c=urch—that the teachings of Dr. Briggs nd the course pursued by him are subversive of the constitution of bis church and in disre- gard of the decree of its highest court.

A Pottawattammie Brave Tells of the Promise Offered by a New Society. “A new hope bas dawned for the Indian rece,” said Jobn Wadsworth to a Sram reporter today. ‘Mr. Wadsworth isan Indian himself, a descend- ant of the famous Pottawattamfe 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, “T met a number of people who bave organized & new movement, which promises more for the Indians than any other movement begun in their behalf in the history of the uation. It is based on the declaration that the Iand question ig at the, root of the Indian problem and that if the lands are divided on the proper basis the Indian question will scttle itself. The move- ment is called the Indian Land Adjustment League. Here is what ite 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 Indian lands to the whites is fast becoming another national disgrace. “Oklahoma” is as- soolated with the most ruthless display of dratality, 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 = common basis of equality. 8. Allotment docs not satisfy the Indians’ ideas of justice. They need some system that will equalize the differences in desirableness between the various pieces of land. 4. Tho opening of Indian 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 lease principle would insure a quiet, orderly selection of lands in place of the raceful seizures of today. Therefore, we aim to secure the adoption of a system which, in assuring the equal rights of all in the lands, will remove the most powerful t of discord betweon the two races.
