Treasurer Morgan Submits His Annual Report in Regard to It United States Treasurer Morgan has sub- mitted his annual report to the Secretary of the Treasury in regard to the sinking fund and funded debt of the District of Colum- bia. The amount uninvested of the sinking fund for the old funded debt is $290,310; the amount available for sinking funds from the reppropriation for interest and sinking fund \ for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1893. is $276,045. Bonds retired on account of sink- |ing fund aggregate $255,750. They cost $64,- 938.6, leaving a balance of $12,371 unin- vested, which includes $9570 held for the payment of corporation of Washington reg- istered 5 and 6 per cent bonds due July 1, }1891, and July 1, 1892, not yet presenied for | payment. ‘The Funded Debt. ‘The funded debt ts stated at $18,575,400, as against $22,106,650, July 1, 1878, a net reduc- tion of $3,581,250. ‘There is a balance of $272,- |239 due the United States on account of water supply. ‘The estimates of the amounts required by the treasurer for the service of the sinking fund oifice for the fiscal year ending June 0, 18%, are as follo’ For interest and sinking fund on the funded indebtedness, exclusive of the water bonds, $1,23,7; for current expenses of the sinking fund office, $3.00; for interest and sinking fund on one- the water supply of Washmgton, D. $4,997; for interest and sinking fund on one- aif the cost of the 48-inch main and con- nections and Mth street main and connec- tions, $20,008. An Important Recommendation. An increase of $600 is asked in the appro- priation for pay of clerks in the sinking fund office. It is recommended that Congress be asked to make the sinking fund office a regular division of the treasurer's office and in- corporate the estimates in the appropriation bill for the service of the department, plac- ing the employes upon the rolls upon the same footing. as far as practicable, with the regular employes. The foregoing recommendation, the treas- urer says, is based upon the fact that the sinking fund office in point of law, legiti- | mately and properly an office of the United States and a branch of the treasurer’s bu- |reau, for which he is as much responsible | under his bond as for any other division of his office. ‘The retained guaranty fund under con- tracts amounts to $317,808. ‘The firemen’s relief fund is in a prosper- ous condition, and shows a steady increase. The sum paid for the benefit of policemen in 1886 was $2534, and each succeeding year shows increasing demands upon the fund, until in 1893 the sum of $19,120 was required, an increase of over 66 per cent in eight years. The total cash receipts were $115,006.36; the total payments were $114,388.24; the cash in hand is $668.12: add cash value of $9,000 District of Columbia 3. per cent bonds un- sold. at 106.873, 39,818.75: making the total assets June 30, 1893, $10,236.87. — THE SENATE AND CLOSURE. Mr. Reed Thinks the Vice President Has Power to Force a Vote. Mr. Reed, the ex-speaker, in an interview published today, is quoted as saying that the forcing of a vote or applying a closure in the Senate all rested with the Vice Presi- dent. “He is,” said Mr. Reed, “chairman of the body. He is elected to manage the body. {t doesn’t make any difference about his not coming from’ the body. He is the man to compel a vote, to bring about a vote, and to do what is easy to be done at this juncture. The Speaker of the House Sets his power partly by the appointment of the committees, but I think more largely by his ability to recognize. whom ke pleases. “When IT was Speaker the democrats said they didn’t want any rules. They wanted to go along as they pleased. ‘All right,’ I said: ‘I don’t want any rules either. Let's go right along without them.’ So we went along and I recognized whom I pleased, and did the business I wanted to do. Then the democrats who didn’t like that sort of thing as much as they thought they would, began to clamor for rules. Well, I was very glad to have some rules, because I knew that by the end of the session I would make a great many enemies and have a good deal of dif- fieulty And after that we had the rules, and I was able to shift my responsibility upon the rules.” ij concluding this informal talk Mr. Reed ald quite characteristically: “Oh, the sum and substance of it all is, if the Vice President has a majority behind him he can do what he pieases,”" —__—_+» __ CHARGES AGAINST A CLERK. He is Accused of Receiving Money From Liquor Men, but Denies It. For several days past the Commissior ‘heave been conducting a secret investiga- tion into the official conduct of Liquor License Clerk A. M. Lambeth. It was verbally reperted to the Commissioners several days ago that Mr. Lambeth had been receiving money from certain lquor | dealers in consideration for the certification lof their appilcations for liquor licenses. Mr. Lambeth’s duties are to examine all applications for liquor licenses filed with the excise board, with a view of determin- | ing whether or not the signatures of the property holders are valid. | Yesterday and today the Commissioners j heard several witnesses. Mr. Lambeth, in conversation with a reporter of The Star today, disclatmed any knowledge of the in- vestigation and said, when the charges were made known to him, that he was. perfec:ly Innocent and did not fear the consequences. | Mr. Lambeth was appointed at the instance of Senator Harris | his present position, however, for a few months.

The Plight of » Wealthy Irishman Who Came to Washingto: A wealthy Irish land owner bearing the distinction of police magistrate slept at the Harrison street police station in Chicago Jast night. Since his arrival in America he has been duped right and left, and he finds himseif in Chicago penniless, without a place to eat or sleep. The individual in question is Capt. William Edward Head of Tipperary, county Tipperary, Ireland. Capt. Head arrived in Boston September 21. He carried letters of introduction to the British ambassador in Washington, and he Was soon in.this city. He registered at a | hotel, and it was here that he met his first introduction to American confidence men. Before he knew where he was his pocket book containing £5 was stolen. His watch and chain were also plucked from him, and he was penniless, ‘The detectives were put on the track of | the thieves, and Capt. Head was delayed | here for three weeks, the host of the hotel providing him with food and shelter. In the meantime the cases had been taken to the ambassador, who greatly sympa- thized with his visitor, and gave him %0 and purchased a through ticket to Tacoma, Vash. After. receiviag his credentials from the British ambassador ge started on his 2,500-mile trip. His money soon dwindled away, and yesterday morning he landed in Chicago penniless. His ticket, however, was good. At the 12th street depot he met some of the hangers-on, and showing them his ticket inquired where to start from to complete his journey, Attached to his ticket was a return slip from Tacoma to Washington, D.C. He Was offered $4 for this, being told that he would not want it so long as he was not coming back via Chicago. e accepted the $4 and tore off the return slip. He then went to present his ticket to the Wisconsin Central, over which road he would travel, but seeing the returning half detached the ticket was refused, and $8 was demanded before he proceeded any further. The Irishman did not know which way to turn. As a last resort he went to the Har- rison street station and told his tale of woe. He sald that he had had $2,500 for- warded on to Tacoma. All js valuables: and guns were there, and all he had with him was a trunk at'the 12th street depot. The $4 he received for the return slip he spent for a room, and he wanted some as- sistance from the police. He said that if he could get 40 cents to telegraph to Wash- ington he could get some money. “rhe poor” wealthy man looked an object of pity as he related his story. Capt. Hartnett gave him the money to telegraph the Brit- ish ambassador, and also provided him ith a xood meal and a bed. Capt. Head stated that he haf any amount of property in Tipperary, and a year ago he was elect- ed police magistrate. ‘To prove his story he had a dozen bag- age checks and receipts, and showed his credentials to Capt. Hartnett. He will be kept at the armory until financial assist- ance reaches him from this city. He is described as being about thirty-three years age, having a A decidedly handsome man.

There Are No Patent Rights on Garb- age Complaints. Ex-Chief Clerk Bayly of the health of- fice, who is at present the general man- ager of the National Sanitary Company, has made a complaint to the health office, and his complaint was investigated yester- |day. Under date of Monday he complained to Chief Clerk Tracy that dead animals had been piled on the wharf adjoining the company’s property for two or three days. This, he charged, accounted for the odor complained of in ‘that section, He thought the dead animals mentioned caused. the edor about which there had been com. piaint, and he did not want the Sanitary Company to shoulder the blame for every- thing in that section: Mr. Bayly’s note was referred to Patrick Mann, the owner of the adjoining prop- erty, and who is a rival of the Sanitary Company in the rendering of dead animals. This did not suit the ex-chief clerk, and yesterday he called on Mr. Tracy and made known his objections to the manner in which the note had been treated. Mr. Tracy then had his compiaint regularly re- corded and referred. Inspector Beaumont made the investigation, and this morning he made his report. According to his report he found that there was no wharf on Mr. Mann's prop- erty where dead animals could have been piled, as the storm of Friday night had not only carried away-the wharf, but had dam- aged other property. The inspector says that a small tempo- rary wharf had been constructed, and that one dead horse was being unloaded thereon. After reciting the condition of the prop- erty of the Sanitary Company’s rival estab- shment, and of the losses sustained, In- spector Beaumont concludes: “It would ill become the office to stain its records by the approval of the complain: > TO REDUCE EXPENSE: The Alexandria and Georgetown Cas- tom Houses to Be Consolidated.

Lord Salisbury Says That It Means Another Const to Watch. LONDON, Oct. 18—In a speech’ at Orms- kirk, near Liverpool, yesterday Lord Salis- bury declared that in the event of home rule in the government of Ireland the navy would have to watch another coast, which, if England became embroiled with a foreign Power, would likelfer prove hostile than not. Napoleon, he added, used to say if he se- cured Antwerp it would be a pistol pre- sented at the mouth of the Thames. The Britishers did not want pistols presen-ed at the mouths of the Clyde, Mersey and Avon. ‘This was one of the dangers toward which the present misguided rulers of the country were rushing impetuousiy. Apart from this two-fifths of the populace of Ireland would have to be preserved from the ra- pacity of the other three-fifths, and the Ulsterites would have to be’ protected against the results of subjection to their bitterly hostile fellow countrymen. >——— KNIVES AND DIRKS FREELY USED. A Bloody Fight Between Poles and Italians at a Dance. CHICAGO, Oct. 18—One dead man, two dying and ten others variously cut and carved lay in the station house at Whit- ing, Ind., this morning. All this bloody spectacle is the afterpiece of a Polish dance which was held last night. ‘The Poles bad taken possession of the town hall for the purpose of holding their merry- making. To the dance came as unbidden guests a gang of Italians. A battle between the nations broke out. Knives and dirks were the weapons used. The floor ran with blood. John Poshanski, one unfortunate Pole, was literally scalped alive. He will die from the wounds about ‘the head and knife thrusts in other parts of the body. Another Pole had his jugular severed by one sweep of an Italian's blade. ‘The noise of the fray roused the citizens and attracted the few officers of the town. ‘The riot could not be quelled, and not until thirteen were disabled and’ twenty more | received slighter wounds did the war abate. Many of those who were in the fight were arrested. ‘There were 125 alto- gether in the battle. 22 so TWO REPORTED DEAD. ‘reck on the Canadian Pacific Caus- by Coll PORT ARTHUR, Ont. 18.—A se- | rlous wreck happened on the Canadian Pa- | elfic near Grand River, when a special train of fourteen cars came into collision with a west-bound freight.

Dedicated Last Night With Enjoyable and Appropriate Exercises. ‘The opening of the new town hall at Lang: don, D. C., iast evening was made the oc- casion of an unusually pleasant musical, literary and dramatic entertainment, after which the quality of the spacious floor was tested by the young pecple until the hour of midnight. The hall was well filled with interested spectators, when at 8 o'clock Mr. A. M. DEWEY, the secretary of the Langdon Hall Association, rung up the cur- tain and introduced Mr. E. P, Sherman, president of the association, who briefly addressed the audience on the objects to which the hall was to be dedicated. Sec- | retary Dewey followed in a ten-minute speech, in which attention was called to the necessities which led the projectors to undertake the erection and maintenance of a place for recreation and amusement in that quarter of the District. Most of the one thousand residents of that neighbor- hood, he said, were laboring people, and as too much work and no piay made Jack a dull boy, it was desirable that there should | be some place for recreation and rest from toil, where the people could come together after the duties of the day in the office or factory were over. Honest labor was a noble thing and honest enjoyment was as much to be desired. A mun who served humanity well could serve his God the bet- ter for having done so. Mr. Dewey was master of ceremonies and the following program was excellentl: rendered: Recitation, “Phandig Cahor Mr. H. K. W. Patterson of Washington: humorous ‘songs, “Discovery of America’ and “The Prodigal Son,” Mr. Howard W. Youngs and Masters Lloyd and Joseph Youngs, with Mrs. Mary A. Youngs as ac- companist; recitations, “The School Board Oficers' Story” and “Laska,” Miss Belle Long of Washington; violin solo, Master Lloyd Youngs; recitation, “'Ostier Joe,” Mr. Harry Allison; vocal solo, Mrs. W. A. Flint of Washington; recitation, *“The Gob- ble-uns Will Catch You,” little Miss Ethel | Baker; grand chorus, “America,” quartet | and audience. The Federal City Comedy Company then took possession of the stage for the presentation of the one-act drama, “One Touch of Nature,” with the following people in the cast: Messrs, William H. | Baker, Harry Allison, H. D. Anderson, H. W. Weber, Master Anderson, Miss Julla Armstrong and Miss Lizzie’ Magie. The ay was well rendered, Miss Magle and Mr. Baker being especially well received by the audience, The hall dedicated is in the building re- cently erected by the Langdon Hall Asso- ciation, a joint stock company, organized for the purpose one year ago. The build- ing 1s of brick, three stories high, and is at present occupied on the ground floor by the village post office and grocery store and by the district school board with a public school. ‘The main hall is on the second floor, will seat about 500 people and has a well appointed stage, with several sets of scenery, an oil-painted drop curtain, dressing rooms, &c.

Do you reallze what this disfiguration means to vensitive souls? It means tsolation, seclusion, It ip a bar to social and business success, ‘Do you wonder that despair seizes upon the suf- ferers when Doctors fail, Standard remedies fail, And nostrums prove worse than useless? Skin diseases are most obstinate to cure or even relieve. Tt is an easy matter to claim to cure them, but quite another thing to do so. CUTICURA REMEDIES Have earned th, right to be called Skin Specifics, Because for years they have met with most re- markable success. ‘There are cases that they cannot cure, but they are few indeed. It 1s no long-drawn-out, expensive experiment. 2%e. invested in a cake of CUTICURA SOAP Will prove more couvincing than a page of ad- vertisement.
