ABOUT GEORGETOWN Still Making an Effort to Find Swift's Murderer. TRAFFIGON THE CANALIS GOOD, —— Police Court Cases of Offenders Living in Georgetown. MANY MINOR MATTERS. Georgetown on Saturday night is a Mecca for the colored people of Rosslyn, Falls Church and all the villages about town. And two well-known attorneys, who have summer residences in the Old Dominion, thinking they could probably get a clew that would lead to the capture of the Swift murderer, spent two or three hours last Saturday night walking among them and engaging in conversation on the subject whenever an opportunity offered. Nothing definite, however, about the murderer was learned. Real Estate Matters. Georgetown’s real estate transactions yesterday amounted to $6,307.50. T. O. Ebaugh sold to W. X.

The property holders of Harlem, the well built up tract lying between the Conduit, New Cut and Foxhall roads and the dis- tributing reservoir, are hesitating about turther improving the place by the erection of buildings, owing to the fact that the Mines for the extension of Georgetown greets. which must inevitably through, ve never been run, and they do not care to run the risk of putting their homes at the middle of what will soon become public thoroughfares. Traffic on the Canal. There have been no more arguments of late among canal men on the subject of “the mule versus electricity” for the Bon that the former has lost his cham- lons, and by the time the Erie experiments. ve proved successful the animal will be looked upon for canal purposes as an an- tediiuvian: . i Boats to arrive at Georgetown yesterday by way of the canal were as follows: For leredith, Winship and Company—No. 102, 104 tons; J. K. Cowen, 193 tons; Lafayette, 15 tons; No. 118, 113 tons; No. 129, 113 tons. For J.P. ‘Agnew and Company—E. W. Ridley, 101 tons, and H. Chaney, 105 tons.

Garfield Active, a young colored man, whose friends reside on “Herring Hill,” has been wanted by the police for a long time on a charge of being disorderly and figuring in a Coe game. Several times he was sighted by the police, but {t was not until yesterday that, one of the officers managed to get him. He was near Rock creek playing crap when the officer saw him from a street car and arrested him be- fore he could get away. Three charges Were made against him this morning, and he was fined $15 or forty-five days on the farm. He went di disorderly conduct. iy crowd on the street @ few nights ago and Benton passed them on the way to meet his sister. That was all he did. 's0 the proof showed, and Judge Taylor dismissed the charge.

He was given three days in which to get the liquor out of him and start life anew. Notes. Dr.Thomas J.

A FARMER’ He Murders His Family and Attempts His Own Life. William Nonemacher, a farmer living nine miles southeast of Antigo, Wis., murdered his wife and three children about 10 o'clock Saturday night, and then made an unsuc cessful attempt to take his own life. The deed was not discovered until Sunday after- noon at 6 o'clock, and the news reached Antigo yesterday morning. At the inquest Nonemacher made a full confession. He said the crops were poor and he was afraid of starving: that his wife's parents were in Quebec, where they had come all the way from Germany and wanted money, and he had none to send. He had intended to kill his family Friday night, but changed his plan to Saturday night. After the family was asleep he went out and got an ax and returned to do the deed. He said he killed his wife first by three swinging blows on the left le. He then went into the next room and killed Joseph, six years old, and Willie, four years old. He struck both boys on the head twice. Returning to the room where his wife lay, he picked up his year-old baby, held her in one arm and struck her on the top of the head. He then went to the barn, climbed up to the roof and jumped twenty feet to the floor, sustaining injuries to the spine and paralyzing his lower limbs. St afternoon two of Fred Nonemacher’s little children went over and saw the clothes on the bed all bloody and ran home and told their father, who summoned the coroner, and they searched for his brother. The coroner's jury returned a verdict that the wife and children came to their death by an ax in the hands of William None- macher, in accordance with his confession. ‘A visit to the scene of the muniers dis- closed the horrible sight. The mother lay on her left side with a gaping wound in the temple. The baby was in the cradl> beside the bed in a sleeping posture. The boys Mere in the bed in the next roem t= « pool of blood. The father, as he lay on the floor of the kitchen paralyzed, but conscious, without the least sign of sorrow or regret, talked as calmly about the murders as he would about killing a pig. -—- +06 -—___ 18 DISHEARTENED.

She left here on July 15 and arrived at Battle Harbor, the chief settlement of Labrador, on the 18th. The passage was Very rough and the ship experienced some damage. Heavy seas swept her decks, and the eight donkeys which he carried on the forepart were ex- posed to the full fury of the elethents. From the exposure they suffered they were per- ishing when they got there, and Peary was compelled, though time was most valuable, to remain two days and land them 80 they might recuperate, and they improved some- what. He tried to purchase there, but could not succeed. He then sailed for Turnavick, and there made another effort to get the necessary number of dogs, but the people demanded such exorbitant prices that he could or would not purchase. After exhausti all effort he was forced to go on to Hopedale, which he reached on July 22, and here he was again unsuccess- ful. The prices demanded for the dogs were too great, and he would have to visit other northern parts to get them. Here the mail steamer met Lieut’ Peary, and the donkeys Were in such bed condition that he was con- templating ing them. Peary was seriously disheartened at this th luck, “He was sure he would have se- cured the dogs before then'and been able fo sail for Greenland. The serious trouble, he said, was that the season was growing late, and every day's delay rendered his chance of getting there less. ‘On the last trip the Kite got to McCor- ay on August 2 but now he did not t'to leave Labrador before the end of 3 he would be obliged to get dogs to his expedition succeed, and it would then take him three weeks at least to go to his destination. ‘Then the landing of his stores would oc- cupy much time, and the Falcon would, per- haps, be caught by the ice forming tn the early winter and be compelled to remain there till next spring. On the other hand, an early winter might probably ‘have ‘the ‘effect of rend it Impossible for him to reach Bowdoin bay at ail, in which event he would be forced to return. He was going to Okkek when the steamer left, 20s ae WAITING FOR THE OPENING. Cherokee Strip Will Soom Be Ready tor Settlement. Information has been received that the Cherokee Strip will be opened about Sep- tember 1. In consequence of this news the towns and villages along the border have begun to assume the appearance of camps, filled with anxious people. ‘The entire strip has been thoroughly ex- amined, and those who have been for months along the border of the western half are quietly leaving and selecting loca- tions along the border further east, where the land is tillable. They have found that the alkali and gypsum lands of the western half present obstacles that cannot be over- come, while further east there 1s good land and plenty of water. ‘There are over 1,000,000 acres of the Chey- enne and Arapahoe land yet subject to pre- emption, but it is considered worthless and is rejected. In every camp along the northern and southern borders are men de- nouncing “sooners,” meaning those who have spied out the land, and yet there is not one of those who is not ly conversant with almost every section of the ooThere ts: the Ut lety regarding th ere is the utmost anxiety e location of the county seats.

From the Kansas City Times. “The accounts of the duel fought on Gus Macey’s stock farm at Versailles, Xy., be- tween Swift Hunter and Will Davis reminds me of an experience I once had with a member of the former's family,” said a gen- tleman who recently hailed from the blue grass region. “The Hunters are clear straw, game as pebbles, and the nerve is not monopolized by the men, either. “Back some ten or twelve years ago there was a Miss Daisy Hunter, a sister of Swift’s—she is married now and ives in New York. She was a little bit of a thing, golden-haired and delicate. There was cer- tainly nothing masculine about her: in fact, just the sort of a girl you would ex- pect to scream or faint in the face of dan- ger. Well, one evening I called for her to take a horseback ride. She owned as pretty @ saddle horse as you ever saw, but he high-spirited and nervous.

I did not notice that my companion’s horse was then growing frightened, but she did, and turning her head while we were racing side by side she coolly said: Mr. Blank, please Go not speak so loudly to your horse; you'll scare mine.” “I never felt quite so cheap in all my life, but I said nothing and sawed away in shame-faced silence. Suddenly a new dan- ger confronted us. Just ahead was a toll gate.

I called to the young lady to out of the way, but she seemed utterly lidered.

I turned in the saddle and saw her lying white and motion- less. Looking forward again I was horrified to see Miss Hunter’s horse bolt through an open gate and dash up into a thickly wood- pasture. I reckon desperation gave me strength then, for I pulled up the horse I had been using my best endeavors on with: in fifty yards. Turning him about I gal- loped back to where the young lady lay on the pike. She was not much hurt, and I then started off to find Miss Huntr. A short distance within the pasturel saw her leaning against her horse, one arm pround his neck, laughingly reproaching him for running away with her. She was the cool- est little woman I ever saw. And she comes by it naturally.” THE ROW IN THE ComMoONS. Regrets Expressed by Participants in the Recent 5! iv. In the house of commons yesterday Prime Minister Gladstone, replying to a question asked by Mr. John Lloyd Whar- ton, which question was prompted by the hand-to-hand conflict that occurred in the house last Thursday night, sald that doubt- less it would be for the general convent- ence of the house and in the interests of good order if an arrangement should be arrived at by means of which the support- ers of the government and the members of the opposition might sit on opposite sides of the house. Mr. William Hunter then asked if Mr. Gladstone had taken into consideration the injury done the honor and dignity of the house and if the assaults committed by members on Thursday evening were to be allowed to pass without punishment being inflicted upon the offenders. Mr. Gladstone replied that he would prob- ably answer these questions today. ir. Henry Jabouchere referred to a statement made in the Pall Mall Gazette by Mr. William Fisher with reference to his assault upon Mr. John William Logan. He suggested that Mr. Logan be permit- ted to reply to Mr. Fisher's statement. Speaker said he thought it would conduce to a peaceful solution of the mat- ter if both Mr. Fisher and Mr. Logan ad- dressed the house. Mr, Fisher, amid cries of “Logan,” “Lo- gan,” arose and ex deep regret for the part he had ‘taken in the aftray. He thought, he said, that Mr. Logan intended to assault him or Mr. Carson, and it was for this reason that he mixed in the trouble. He was ly dis at hay- ing created disorder in the house. ‘Mr. Logan then emphatically denied that he had intended to assault any one, and said he deeply regretted that he had’ been concerned in the affair. Mr. Gladstone said that the explana- tioms were satisfactory to him, and he hoped the matter would be allowed to drop. "The Right Hon. A. J. Balfour and Mr. Justin McCarthy also expressed themselves as satisfied. Mr. McCarthy, however, pro- tested against the idea that the row was due to the Irish members. os Wheat at 533-4, Wheat on the board of trade in Chicago yesterday was, for a few moments, practi- cally unsalable.
