France’s 1 trious Soldier Answers the Last Roll. PARIS, Oct. 17.—Marshal McMahon is dead. Marie Edme Patrick Marice de McMahon, Due de Magenta and a marshal of France, was born at Sully, on the river Loire, July 13, 1808. His ancestors were Irish. ‘They re- moved to France in 1691 and united thet fortunes by marriage with the French no- bility. At the age of seventeen Patrick Maurice | McMahon entered the military school of St. Cyr. He was sent to the Algerian wars in 189), qttained the rank of captain in 18%, {and, after holding the post of aid-de-camp and taking part in the assault of Constan- tine, was nominated major of the foot chas- seurs in 1540, Heutenant colonel of the for- ign legation in 1843, colonel in 1845 and gen- eral of brigade in 1M8. He was selected by the emperor in 1835 to succeed General Can- robert in command of a division in the Crimea, For brilliant service in the assault on Sebastopol he was given the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor. Gen. McMahon received the baton of a marshal for conspicuous work in the Ital- fan campaign of 159. In 1864 he was made governor general of Algeria. He will be best remembered, however, by his_ services in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71. He was placed m command of the first army corps, with headquarters at Strasburg, at the beginning of the conflict. He had under him 50,0 men when the crown prince of Prussia attacked the French army at Woerth. His line was turned by the Prussians and he was compelled to fall back.

ROME, Oct. 17.—A political meeting was held at the Circo Reale Theater in this city last night which resulted in a free fight and the destruction of the building. Sig- nor Barailai, a radical member of the cham- ber of deputies, was addressing the meet- ing. His remarks did not please the anarchists, many of whom were present, and he was frequently interrupted. He attempted to reply to the anarchists and a wozdy war resulted. Signor Barzilai and his friends attempted to out-talk their opponents. Finally a blow was struck and in a mo- ment a free fight was on. Chairs and pleces of wood were used as weapons and several of the combatants were quite se- verely wounded. Some of the more quietly disposed persons in the crowd made for the doors, and they were followed by the shouting and fighting mob until the street was reached. Here the fighting subsided somewhat, but the noisy squabbling was continued. Early this morning the theater was dis- covered to be on fire and it was rapidly consumed, the firemen at no time being able to check the flames. There Is no ques- tion as to the incendiary origin of the fire and it is generally attributed to the an- archists. The loss entailed amounts to ‘960,000, TE eters ROR REIGNED THERE.

Along the river the fog had been | the most dense experienced in many yars and it was impossible to see signal lights at any distance, while the semaphores could not be distinguished at all. An engine with several freight cars had been working in the Wellsville yard and was crossing the main tracks when the limited crashed into It. It is presumed that the signals were all right, but that the crew of the limited could not see them on ac- count of the density of the atmosphere.

Vietims of the Recent Wreck of the Dean Richmond. DUNKIRK, N.¥., Oct. 17—There are thirteen dead bodies of the Dean Rich- 4mond’s crew at the morgue here, of which ten have been identified, Almost all the bodies are badly battered and bruised. Some were found on the beach high and dry, others were found pounding among the rocks. The theory is advanced that all the people of the Rich- mond died of exhaustion. They all had life preservers on, and in almost every case the lungs are free from water, showing they were not drowned. The man C. L. Clark, who claims to be the only survivor of the Richmond, has dis- appeared, and his story, which was printed in the afternoon paper here yesterday, is believed to be a fake. It is supposed that the Richmond sunk about eight miles off Van Buren Point. Judging from the wreckage only her upper works have drifted ashore with the light merchandise from her decks, and {t is be- lteved the hull lies intact at the bottom of the lake. aa CHARGED WITH INSANITY.

BRAZIL, Ind., Oct. 17—The sheriff yes- terday discovered a plot concocted by the prisoners in the county jail to hang one of their number. About a month ago an at- tempt was made at jail delivery and every- thing had been skillfully planned. Among the prisoners were three charged with mur- |der and two with train wrecking. William Houston, charged with larceny and one of the promoters of the escape, weakened and told the sheriff of what was being done. ‘The other prisoners determined to hang Houston. They had arranged a strong rope of strips of bed clothing and were going to commit the deed last night. Houston had been sentenced to the penitentiary and had | been removed from the jail during yester- day, thus preventing the deed. a MAY PLAY HERE.

London's business has fallen off, and has for the moment lost its influence on speculation in the home mar ket. Advantage was taken of the strength atthe opening to increase the short inter- est, and considerable selling for that ac- count was indulged in during the morning. Washington advices are filled with gener- alities and well worn platitudes that fur- nish no clue to the probable time or char- acter of the Senate's action on the silver bill, Trading in a narrow and_ professional market, such as this is, with the dominant force shrouded in mystery, is speculative in the highest sense. ‘The market, how jever, looks oversold, and a rally must f low any attempt at covering. Stocks are daily becoming more and more scarce, and the premiums advance in direct ratio to the decrease in supply. Northern Pgcific preferred loaned at a premium of 1-128; Burlington, 1-4; Erle and Sugar, flat; St. Paul, 1 per cent, and other stocks 2 and 3. It is evident from these figures that a break tu prices must soon come or precipi- tate a bear panic, within the limits of two or three points. ‘The market for foreign exchange con- tinues dull, with no special demand for bills. Sterling rates were posted at 183 1-20 435 1. a yesterday. Money 1s plenty at 2 and 21-2 on call and 6 per cent for time loans. ‘The clearing house statement today re- ports exchanges, $103, ; balances, $6,412,337, and the subtreasury’s debit bal- j ance, $1,101,410. ‘The loan committee canceled $780,000 ad- ditional certificates, and called $750,000 for tomorrow, reducing outstanding total to 325,000." Organized manipulation in Sugar | and Distillers keeps those specialties in the front rank of speculation, and at a well sustained advance. Distillers responds easi- ly to the efforts of its friends, and advanced in the first hour to 34, a gain of 1 per cent, reacted to opening figures,and again moved up for a gain of 3-4 of a point. Outside of the specialties the bears seem to have much the better of the situation. Burlington declined 1 5-8 per cent to 77 6-8. “Big Four” was weak at a reduction of 21-2 per cent to o) 1-2. Hocking Valley lost 1 ‘per cent to 19 1-2. Missouri Pacific declined |1 18 to 20 78. Reading was weakened by | bear attack and surrendered 1 3-8 per cent } to 16. Rock Island was also a bear mark and lost 1 3-4 per cent to 59 3-4. In the industrial list General Electric re- acted on small sales to 43 1-4, a loss of 1 per cent. Chicago Gas lost 1 1-4 per cent to 58 1-4, and Cordage sold down to 24 1-2 @ point and a half below the opening. Business during the afternoon fell off in volume and the market looked heavy, with- out any news of sufficient importance to give it character or stimulate activity. A selling movement started in the last hour by brokers for a prominent bear oper- ator resulted In a shading off in prices throughout the list. No reason was assigned | for the attack, but the movement was en- couraged by the easy ytelding of prices. ‘The closing was dull et the decline, with the | weight of argument for the present in favor of the shorts.

A MATTER OF LOYALTY. The Question Not to Enter Into the Oase of Bounty Land. Bill Passed by the House Which Pro- voked Quite a Little Discussion Before Modification. Mr. Kem (Neb.), rising to a question of privilege, denied the truth of a statement Published in the Omsha Bee reflecting upon Messrs. Bryan, McKeighan and him- self for not attending to their duty to their state, and stating that it was left to a re- Publican (Meiklejohn) to attend to the in- terests of Nebraska. In the course of his denial he said that the action of Mr. Meiklejohn in the premises was not that of & high-principled gentleman. In the consideration morning hour Mr. Culberson, (Tex.), from the committee on Judiciary, called up the bill amending the re- vised statutes so as to dispense with proof of loyalty during the late war of the re- bellion as a prerequisite to being restored or admitted to the pension rol) of any per- son who otherwise would be entitled thereto under existing laws, and also providing that Proof of loyalty shall not be necessary in is entitied thereto is Mr. Burrows’ Protest. Mr. Burrows (fich.) entered his protest against the measure. He knew that his protest would do no good, as he was in a minority. But this was a most inopportune time to restore to the pension rolis men who were disloyal to the government with one hand, when, with the other hand, the Present administration was striking from the rolls thousands of men who had de- fended the government in its hour of need. Mr. Oates (Ala.) said that the number of men who would be restored to the rolls under this bill would be insignificant. He stood here battered after having served in twenty-seven battles for the confederacy, but today he loved the Union, and should the United States get into war now he ventured to say that he would shed as much blood for his country as would the gentleman from Michigan, (Democratic applause.) ‘Mr. Oates, who was in charge of the bill, modified it so that it should not apply to pension claimants, but only to bounty land claimants. ‘The bill was then passed. ‘To Control National Banks. The House then resumed the considera- tion of the Cox bill for the better control of national banks. Mr. Lockwood (N. ¥.) opposed the bill. It was powerless for good and its passage at this time would work an absolute in- Jury to the national banks and to the peo- ple of the country.

Sale of the Late Seuator Stanford's Washington Stock. ‘The blooded horses belonging to the late Senator Stanford were sold at public auc- tion this morning at 11 o’clock at the Stan- ford private stables on L street between 1th and 19th strects. The block was crowd- {ed with carriages, and the sale was at- tended by more than 500 people, probably the largest attendance at any sale of the sort ever held in this city. Among those 4:4 | present were many people from this city ;,| Prominent in social and official life, as well a8 a number from Baltimore and Philadel- phia. For once an auction sale seemed to partake more of the character of a social function, Seven horses were sold, five of which Serator Stanford had brought from Palo Alto, Considering the fact that a number of the horses were by no means young the prices were very gcod. Mrs. J. B. Hen- derson bought two, Jim Benton, @ big bay gelding, a fast roadster, for $80, and Will Crocker, ‘another bay’ gelding, suitable for brougham, for §90. M. A. Dugai cured Frank, a good all-round horse, at 910. Dictator, by Dictator, he by Hamble- tonian 10, was sold for $120. Kimball, a dark bay roadster, by Whipples’ Hamble- tonlan, Mr. Stanford's favorite horse, was |sold to Mr. John T, Devine of the Shore- ham for $390. George and Major, a pair of black coach horses, 17 hands, 1 and. 1-2 inches high, were sold to a prominent F street merchant for $25. The sale was con- ductea by Mr. C. G, Sloan, the auctionear, who also disposed of a considerable amount of harness and horse furniture. The en- tire sale amounted to about $2,000, The average price for the horses that were raised by Mr. Stanford on the Palo Alto stock farm, California, and brought to this city by bim for his own private use, was just a Iittle short of $250. This was a better price really than was anticipated, for some of the same stock was recently ie Lexington, Ky., for an average of $165. ———_——_ BIDS FOR GUNBOATS, Opened Today for Three Proposed New Naval Vessels, Bids were opened at the Navy Depart- ment this afternoon for the construction of three light draft gunboats, numbered 7, 8 and 9, the cost of each of which Is limited to $400,000, exclusive of armor and prem- fums.

A Dishonest Servant Robs Her Em- ployer of Jewelry. Last night Mr. and Mrs. Robert Greer left their home and went out to visit friends,and when they returned home about 11 o'clock they discovered that something out of the usual line had taken place. The front door was not locked, although they had locked it before leaving. Mr. Greer, who is manager of the Washington News Company, lives at 18% 15th street. Going 1n the house after finding the door unlocked he soon discovered that the house had been robbed. A pair of diamond earrings, valued at $300, a gold watch and chain, a silver watch and chain, a souvenir silver tray and numerous smail articles of jewelry, as well as a pocketbook containing $11 were among the articles stolen. Compiaint was made to the officers. Mr. and Mrs. Greer suspected the colored ser- vant, Lethia Beckwith, a trusted domestic, eighteen years old, but she stoutly denied that she was in ‘any manner connected with the robbery. She had been out during the evening and like Mr. and Mrs. Greer, she was surprised at what had taken place during her absence. But Mr. Greer was Satisfied that she had either stolen the ar- ticles or had left the door open for the ief. Policemen Greer and Terry of the eighth precinct investigated the case and before daybreak they had arrested the colored servant and Martin Bland, her companion, who had visited her and had recovered every piece of the property. It was learned that he was in front of the house about the time the robbery was committed and the young woman said that he hed per- suaded her to take the stolen property. She | had hid it in the coal bin in Mr. Greer’s Wood sed and there the officers found it. Today the couple appeared in Judge Mil- ler’s court on a charge of grand larceny. The stolen property was exhibited and the court heard the.proof. Both prisoners were held for the action of the grand jury. They chy committed to jail in default of $1,000 —_——_ THE AGED COLORED HOME. ‘The Bill Reported Adversely by the House Military Committee. ‘The House committee on military affairs today reported adversely the bill intro- duced by Mr. Meyer to provide for the erection of a home for aged coiored people in the District. This bill proposed to util- ize the money now lying in the treasury arising from unclaimed bounties and other benefits due the estate of deceased colored | soldiers of the late war for the erection of & colored people's home. The committee reported adversely for the reason that to pass such # bill would require the fixing of & limited time in which claims for such moneys to be filed, and wouid cut off the legal right of claimants who might arise hereafter. ‘The bill was introduced at the instance of a number of well-known colored people of the city who are interested in philan- thropic measures for the colored race, and has been warmly pressed upon the atten- tion of the committee.

A Rebate om State Bank Insues. Representative English of New Jersey to- day addressed the House committee on banking and currency in support of a bill he has introduced providing for a rebate of % per cent on the issue of state banks. He did not believe in wholly removing the tax on the issue of these banks, but he would make It the same as the tax on natio banks. He would hold a rod over national hanks 90 an to prevent them crom contract- ig the currency. The rebate proposed in his bill on the issue of state banks he thought would accomplish this.

Judge Miller has recently taken occasion to denounce the use of pistols in the pub- le streets unless the circumstances abso- lutely require the last resort, but today Special Officer Benjamin Jones, colored, vsed his weapon and painfully wounded the man whom he was trying to arrest. William Davis, a colored man, living at No. 1650 Reeves court, was the man whom the special officer had arrested. It is charg- ed that Davis and his wife had engaged in a fight and that Jones went to the house to protect the wife and arrest the husband. He succeeded in placing Davis under ar- rest, but the latter turned upon the officer, resisting the best he could. During this time the officer used his pis- tol, the bullet entering the leg of the pris- oner. Then instead of being taken to the station Davis was sent to the hospital.

Remarkable Work in Higher Mathe- matics—How She Has Aided Learn- , ed Men—An Interesting Sketch. Written for The Evening Star. Mrs. Arthur Davis, well known in this city as Miss Lizzie Brown, where she was Teared and educated,has entered Johns Hop- kins University as a member of the post Sraduate class. She will do the work and take the prescribed course to win the de- gree of doctor of philosophy, but as she is & woman will not recelve the customary $600, and may never receive the degree. Pro- fessor Simon Newcomb of the Nautical Almanac office, who has always taken a deep interest in her progress, secured per- mission for her to enter this class. It will be remembered that he occupies the chair of astronomy in Johns Hopkins, besides having charge of the Nautical Almanac. Mrs. Davis has three small children, one } | Keep her small famliy near ber. Her bus- j band, Arthur Powell Davis, a nephew of Maj.’ Powell of the geologieal survey, has charge of important work for the survey pear Los Angeles, Cal., which will keep him in the field, except at rare intervals, for the next two or three years, during | which time his wife proposes to pursue her | studies in the university. Mr. Davis sym- rer pow! heartily with his wife’s ambition, And promises to co-operate with her in every way in his power until she finishes the course requisite for winning the coveted degree. Mrs. Davis came to Washington when a mere girl. She was educated bere, and lived here two yeurs after her marriage, when she accompanied Mr. Davis to Los Angeles. A Virginian by Birth, She was born at Front Royal, Va., March 17, 1863. Her father was Maj. Victor M. Brown, C. 8. A, a member of the staff of the late Gen. Corse of Alexandria. Her mother was the daughter of the late State Senator Edward Jacobs, who represented rren, 1 think ure a number of terms. | ment clerkship, | educate her two fatheriess children, the | eldest of whom, Elizabeth Preston | ts the subject of this sketch. ee At the age of seven Elizabeth Brown jm- pressed her first teacher with her wonderful | Sptitude for mathematics. This genticman, Mr. Marshall, an A. M. of the University of Virginia, aud a grandson of the great Chief | Justice, told Mrs. Brown that her Uittie | Was @ prodigy, and that she ought to be given better advantages than the mountain town of Front Royal then afforded. This determined Mrs. Brown to come to Wash- ington. At the age of fifteen Elizabeth Brown g2aduated from the High School and had to wait until she was seventeen, the prescribed age limit, before she was permitted to enter the Normal School. In one year after her m the Normal School and became at the age of eighteen a public school Sacher. During her school fe her remarkable mathematical abili had astonished her teachers. af Im the Corcoran School. e A broader field, however, was soon to be opened to the ambitious, deserving and talented girl. The philanthropist, W. W. See had about this time endowea the entific School of Columbian Unive-sit and caused its doors to ba thrown Open to women. Miss Brown utilized her first | salary by helping her mother and paying | her own tuition in this school. Here her professors became much intezested in her mathematical proficiency. Prof. Gore was so impressed by her exactness and quick- ness with figures that he employed her to read the proof sheets of his geodesy during her vacation. She did this work so accepta- bly that he acknowledged his indebtedness to her in a preface to the book. This brought her to the notice of Prof. Simon Newcomb -of the Nautical Almanac office. He had just completed his calculus, and after one interview with Miss Brown he em- ployed her to read his proof sheets and verify his problems. Prof. Newcomb gen- erously acknowledged Miss Brown's services in his preface, and paid her a high compli- ment. He was determined to use his power- ful influence in the young girl's behalf and relieve her, if possible, of the onerous and poorly paid duties of a public school teacher. Just then a Mr. Bancroft of Mass- achusetts, who had filled a place in the Nautical Almanac office worth $1,20) a year, died. Prot. Newcomb advised Miss Brown to pass the competitive examination he had ordered to be held to find a person com- petent to fill the place. She promptly filed her papers. So did several men, all college staduates. On the day set for the examina- tion Miss Brown, the only woman appli- cant, and these men entered the examina- tion room. In three hours every man had given up, and retired from the room, utterly routed by the difficult problems in higher mathematics and astronomy which con- fronted them. In five hours Miss Brown problem. The,board of examiners were so enthuslastic over her success they forgot thelr own reputations for exactness and gave her 100-100 being the mark to denote “pertect.” They went on record es saying she was more than perfect. and she was once appointed. The chief cle*k of the Nat Department, taking it for granted she was a man, addressed het as “Sir” in her official appointment, and ex-Secretary Whitney signed it in that shape. Her mother k it, and showed it to me a few days ago. Tasks Accomplished. Prof. Newcomb was delighted at his young nal | protege’s success, and thinking she Aeserv- | ed it added to her income by givim<e her the contract for calculating the ep’ emeris | of the sun, which calculation she has al- ready made as far ahead as 18%. While she was in the Nautical Almanac office she in- vented and copyrighted a Washington- Greenwich table, which is now used in the departments, as it greatly facilitates the work. She also discovered and corrected an error tn one of the tables of La Place, which had caused inaccuracies since that great man’s day. In the meantime she kept up with her class the Columbian University and graduated with the class honors in 1886. ‘Thirty days after she graduated she mar- ried a classmate, Arthur Powell Davis, Esq. ber of Coneress from Kansas. Mrs. Davis resigned the $1.200 place in the Nautical Almarac office when she married, but retained the contract to lculate the ephemeris of the sun, which she still holds. She also calculates the orbits of new comets discovered by Prof. Newcomb of this city, and of those discovered by Prof. Barnard of the Lick observatory. A recent issue of the Astronomical Journal gives her credit for calculating the orbit of the latest comet discovered by the learned head of the Lick Observatory. I hear Prof. Barnard, as well jas Prof. Newcomb, is strongly impressed by her unusual mathematical ability. ‘The outcome of her Johns Hopkins ex- periment will be watched with interest by her friends in this city. c.
