TOOK ALL THE CREDIT Two Fair Commissioners Angry at the Directory. THE CREDIT FOR SONDAY CLOSING. Secretary Baer of the Christian En- deavorers Congratulates. HEROES’ DAY TOMORROW. Worrr’s Farr Grovxps, Curcaao, July 15.— Commissioners Tousley, Hundley, Martin and Goff, who appeared before the board of directors yesterday to speak for Sunday closing and the adherence of the directory to the old rule, came to the administra tion building this morning with no kind feel- ing toward the directors. They intimated that the commission would today exercise its pre- rogative of passing some resolution and doing some talk which the directors would not relish. Messrs, Tousley and Hundley, who have ent opposed to the directors doing as tl pleased about a Sunday fair, feel | Particularly aggrieved at the way the directors treated them yesterday. They ac- euse the corporation of seeking to obtain al! the credit for closing the fair on Sundays and disposing of the commissioners’ protest as if it came from a body or individuals having no na- tional representation or authority or control over the question. ‘There is a gulf between the directory and commission which will never be bridged, and yesterday's proceedings add to the conviction inthe minds of many people that the public usefulness and effectiveness of the commission is confined to the appoinement of award judges and the operation of that department of the exposition. THE LAST DAY OF SUNDAY OPENING. Tomorrow is “‘heroes’ day,” when all the re- ceipts at the gates goto the fire relief fund, and the indications are that the last Sunday fair will expire in s blaze of glory and charity. Many of the Midway Plaisance concessionaires have contributed all ora partof a day's re- ceipts to the fund, which will Sapien reach $180,000 before the last dime is dropped into box.

Inpravavotis, Ixp., July 15.—The same sun that has been shining 0 assiduously on the Baptist delegates for two days rose at the ap- pointed time this morning, and another swelter- ing session was assured. The early morning Prayer meeting was, as usual, well attended. At 9:30 the morning session opened with a somewhat diminished number of delegates pree- ent. Some have left the city and others were en- gaged in committee work. ‘The religious exercises, ognducted by Rev. J. 8. James, D.D., of Hartford, Conn., were fol- lowed by the report of the commitice on mis- cellaneous business. ‘The open parliament topic, “The Conquest Meeting,” was led by Kev. Frank S. Dobbins of Philadelphia. Rev. R. R. McKay of Bramp- ton, Ont, delivered an interesting address on “Pidelity to Our Denominational Litera- ture.” Then came the mass workers’ conference. Ten-minute rej were given by the chairman of the yy afternoon con- ference. Ten minutes were also given after each report to interrogate the chairman con- cerning the work covered by his report. At the opening of the afternoon session « great praise service was conducted by W. H. Merritt of Detroit, and was followed by the sym- i ic. “Our Lesser Federa- ir Ne “The Suburban Union." Normal G.

Arrival of Another French Gunboat at the Meinam River. Baxexox, July 15.—The French gunboat Forfait arrived at the bar at the mouth of the Meinam river today. This is the fourth French warship to arrive—the Lutin, Comete and In- constante being already here. When the Forfait arrived she saluted the British cruiser Pallas, which is lying off the bar, and her salute was returned by the Brit- ish warship. A better feeling now prevails in the city. The French Capt. Toreaux bas arrived within two days’ journey of Battambang, a village on the Gulf of Siam, to the southeast of Bangkok. He is in command of a party that is conveying the rebellious Annamites who were recently captured by the French at Khong on the Mei Khong river.

Sa SILVER GOES DOWN. ‘The Government’s Purchase Has an Un- favorable Effect on the Certificates. New Youx, July 15.—Silver was weaker at the stock exchange, certificates declining to 73 on sales of 30,000 ounces. Commercial bar «ii- ver advanced to 724 and Mexican dollars to 59:4.

FATALLY HOT WEATHER IN THE WEST. Fall of a Passenger Train Over a Precipice. DR. MEYER WILL NOT RESIST. os Carcago, July 15.—A Herald special from Pueblo, Col, says: The more conservative element of the people of Colorado realize that the silvor convention held at Denver during the first of the current week accomplished nothing toward the purpose for which it was assembled, Since the convention has failed in accom- plishing what was desired a proposition is on foot to call another convention, which shall aim at the pockets rather than the sympathies of those whom it ia hoped to convert to the ideas of the west. ‘The proposed convention is to be composed of business men, and the direct object which is sought is a combination among merchants, with the intention of diverting the trade of Col- orado and adjoining states from the whole sale trade of the east to that of the south. It is argued that New Orleans is much nearer to the Rocky mountain states than is either New York, Boston or Philadelphia, ‘That is a seaport centrally located, from which can bo furnished every article ‘needed by the west upon terms equally advantageous with those at prosent obtained. It is believed that by diverting this volume of trade from the accustomed channels the yes of the astern opponents of silver will be opened and their assistance may be enlisted. Devit's Lake, N. D., July 15.—Senator Hansbrough delivered rather a strange address before the Chautauqua assembly yesterday. He explained the difference between free silver, single gold standard and limited coinage. He advocated bi-metallic currency, the coinage of either metal to be limited in Proportion to production, the ratio to be Tegulated from time to time as the relative rate of production demands, Congress to be judge of time and rate, Tue benator favored the exclusion of foreign bullion, or at least would have its importation regulated by « high rate of duty. He advocated the issue of silver certificates redeomable in silver, and the exten- sion of legal tender power to $1,000, but not unlimited legal tender power. ‘Ban Francisco, July 15.—A meeting of the rominent silver men of tho state was held here jast night and resolutions adopted favoring the restoration of silver to the position it occupied ‘88 money metal previous to the demonetiza- tion of 1878.

Those {| present at the conference refuse to say what ‘The State of the Market. ‘The following is from the advanced sheets of the Financial Review, published today by Henry Clews & Company: During the week affairs in Wall street hare continued to struggle on against the adverse monetary conditions, and with some yielding ‘in the prices of securities. The trouble of Wal! street houses with ro- spect to the money market is declining. The rate of interest, though still high, is not so costly as to raise a serious obstacle to buying. Not only are the prices of stocks very exce tionally low, but the condition of the railr 1s at present unusually prosperous, making the inducement to investors one of rare advantage. The general condition of financial affairs is improving, though the progress is slow. ‘There has been a distinct abatement of the lato ap- prehension, and recovery is regarded as less a question of fact than of time. The closing symptoms of the market are hopeful. The improving tendencies noted above now show a fuller development, and both among the banks and on the stock ‘exchanze the feeling is mach more confident than at the opening of week. Three movements now af- ford distinct promise of important early relief —the retura of currency from the country, tho retirement of clearing house certificates ‘and the importation of gold. This, with other im- rovements in the prospect, is making the “bears” cautious and encouraging the buying of stocks, We anticipate an improving market from this time forward. Baltimore Markets.

No Further Olews to the Perpetrator Dis- covered Today. The Dead Man Buried at Arlington—Some People Who Saw the Supposed Murderer—Rewards Offered. ” The Rosslyn murder is the sensation of the hour. It was # murder most foul, For heart- Jess fiendishness it will stand out boldly in the annals of crime. Each new fact as it comes to light intensifies the horror. Adecrepit veteran, trudging along @ road, was enticed into # lonely thicket and butch- ered. Around Rosslyn and Falls Church the affair is the text for every conversation. Stories of crime are rife. Expressions of sympathy for the victim and of hatred for the wretch hang on everybody's lips. Groups of people stand around the county stores, smitheys and cross-roads and discuss the situation. Men talk savagely, women shudder and children hug closer to their apron strings. Revenge, bloodhounds and lynehing are spoken of. Great excitement prevails. The theory of accidental death has been ventured, but not entertained. THE INquE! The inquest over the remains was held yes- terday, as reported in Tue Stan, by Coroner Birch of Virginia, and the verdict was “that James H. Swift was murdered by unknown parties.” The testimony elicited at the inquest was at times pitiful. ‘The story of the ghastly discovery as told by Witnesses is that two Indies, Migs Massey and Miss Beach, were driving along the road which ads from the Washington end of the Aqueduct bride to Falls Church. While passing a dreary and deathlike ravine known as Dead Man's Gulch they heard a series of groans. In great fright they applied the whip to their horse and. hastened on to the house of ex-Policeman David M. Phelps, for- merly of the Metropolitan force. They told 1m of what they had heard and that they felt sure something serious was the matter. PUELTS’ GHASTLY FIND. Phelps went to the spot indicated by the ladies, pushed aside the matted mass of Vir- ginia creepers and briars which cur- tained the entrance to the gulch and saw the form lying in the und brush. The prostrate man had an tranquil repose, that he was simp! loath to disturb bim. were satisfied and Phelps, not being entirely satisfied that he summed up the nse accurately, returned to where the body lay. He knelt down beside it, He reached for the pulse, The old man was dead. There was a deal of froth around the mouth, the lips were blue, the teeth clenched and the eyes set, Phelps rolled the body over and then it was apparent that ho was the victim of foul play. The back of the head was crushed as if by & heavy club, and there was a hideous scar below and bebind the right eur. ‘The alarm was at once sounded and the country roundabout was scoured for the murderer or for clew. POSSIBLE CLUES. A few paces from the body was founds Prince Albert coat of heavy, black goods. In the pockots were found a whetstone, it the ex-officer thinking ‘sleeping off a jag” was frightened girls drove on. — Later such as is used in sharpening sickles, and | & peculiar piece of wire, use of which puzzled the onlookers. Some one volunteered the information that it was a harp rest, that is a support for a mouth organ when the musician uses that instrument without the use of his hand. This directed suspicion to a negro who had been seen around Hosalyn for several days, and who had been playing the mouth organ and the harp simultaneously. Nothing 1s known about the negro in question, the colored folks all saying that he was a new coon in town, Hardly complete enough de- scription of the man is to be bad to make bis apprehension reasonably certain, SAW THE MURDERER, Mrs. George Wander, who is summering in the neighborhood, saw a negro with the mur- dered man the morning on which the tragedy must have occurred. She passed them. They were walking side by side and appeared to be friendly. ‘The old man walked with a cane and hada halt in his gait. The negro was «trong built, burly and carried an ugly looking club. Officer Burrows, precinct detective of No. 7, talked with @ colored man on the Virginia side of the river today who says thathe saw the dead man and a negro seated on a tailen log on the roadside not far from the scene of the kiil- ing. He could recognize him should he see him again, ‘Acolored man named Peter Long was arrested by Constable Cornell on suepicion of complicity in the murder, but bas been released on prov- ing an altbi. It was brought out in the testimony that de- ceased was « soldier in a Connecticat regiment during the late war and was in Washington to secure a pention. Milo B. Stevens & Co, are said to bave been his attorneys. He was on his war, when killed, to see Dr. Hopkins, who lives at Falls Church, and who had, it is’ said, promised him work. Messrs. Alexander Bernard, Andrew Lipscomb, J. F, Killian and Joseph O'Leary bave offered a reward of $130 for the apprehension of the culprit. It is believed, aleo, that the Grand Army “Association will offer an additional reward. ‘The remains were buried at Arlington today. The funeral was conducted by the Grand Army Association. The victim of the crime was in- terred in a plain pine cofin and with G. A BR honors, A BLOODY SPOT. The place where the old man was killed hes been the scene of other horrora; Away back in the memory of the oldest inhabitant he can when the of a sui: limb of tree within a few feet of where Swift's body was found. About two years ego a Wasb- | tH ingtonian committed suici near the same spot by blowing out his brains. Not very long | 82! ago the naked body of a man was found on the river bank close to where the present crime was unearthed. That body was never identided. His clothes had either becn stolen or washed. away. Every body can tella reporter some blood-curdling happenings which are said to have taken place near the scene of the latest and most cruel murder. ee ey Commander Lyon's Fault. Secretary Herbert this afternoon approved it| the findings of the court of inquiry which in- vestigated the collision between tho United States steamship Monongahela and the Norwe- gian bark Speranya in the harbor of Funchal, Madcira, in January last. ‘The court found that the commander of the Monongahela, Commander T.

The building operations in Washington for last year were larger than any previous year. | Assessor Trimble presented to the Commission- | ere this afternoon a report, showing the num- |ber of new buildings erected since June | 30, 1892, The report is _imter- esting and important and shows that during that period 3,856 new dwellings wore crected at | |anet assessed valuation of $7,622,200. Last | Year 2,260 new buildings were erected with an assessed valuation of a little over $4,000,000. OFFICERS REINSTATED. The Commissioners today reinstated Private C. H. King and ex-Sergt. G. A. Duvall in the police department. Sergt. Duvall, it will be remembered, was one of those offi- cers dismissed ‘upon the recommendation of Col. Roberts when he was Engineer Commissioner. He was charged with having @ knowledge of the existence of a notorious house on 11th street and his failure to report the same. Sergt. Duvall must commence at the foot of the ladder again in his new duty asa Private of the first class, "NO MORE LICENSES, The Engineer Commissioner bas directed the | permit clerk of the water department not to issue any ‘its on and after August 1 to plumbers who have not appiied for a license in compliance with paragraph 7 of the plumbing regulations, REPAIRS FOR POLICE #TATIONS. Upon the recommendation of Building In- spector Entwisle the Commissioners today approved an expenditure of 91,722 for repairs to police stations, eo Both Captains Acquitted of Biame. The inspectors who recently investigated the matter of the threatened collision between the steamers Norfolk and Pocahontas at the wharf at Old Point on the evening of the Fourth ot July have forwarded their decision to Super- vising Inspector Otis. The report is quite lengthy, bui in substance is as follows: “In accordance with your letter of the Sth instant we have duly investigated the ense | and find that both the captains of the steamers Pocahontas and Norfolk, on the occasion alluded to, xhowed’ —them- selves neither incompetent, unskilifal nor en- dangered life willfully by violating the section referred to by you, bence we relieve them from censure, implied or direct.” tanta sienna The Case of Commander Johnson. ‘The case of Commander Johnson is once more before the Navy Department and the re- suit is awaited with interest in naval circles. ‘This officer has been twice examined for pro- motion and each time the board reported unanimously in favor of his promotion. Not- withstanding this the President disapproved the report in the first instance and Commander | Johnson was ordered to be re-examined. This | second examination has just been concluded, and, like its predecessor,was altogether in favor of the officer. It is not believed that this report Will also be rejected by the Preadent, as such action would only recult in another exemiua- tion. Commander Johnson cannot be retired or dismissed except for cause. A number of pro- | motions are prevented by the delay in action in this case. The case of Pay Inspector Stevenson | is almost identical with that of Johnson, except | that it is worse, as the President bas three | times refused to approve the report of the boards which recommended him for promotion. Unless he is retired at his own request on ac- count of physical disabilities he will have to undergo a fourth examination for promotion, with no certainty of getting it even if he passes. The objections 0 these two ofSsere are based altogether on moral grounds, which, however, are not of character to justify their trial by court-martial War Department Changes.
