The legislative day of Tuesday last, which was carried over by a recess till Wednes- day, and again, by another recess, till to- day, o'clock this morning. There were then, however, scarcely a dozen members in the chamber, and when the roll was called only twenty-two members Gust the half of a quorum) answered. It was not until 10:30 that the forty-third Senator put in an ap- Sarance and completed thenumber necessary to transact business. The last man to an- swer was Mr. Cameron (Pa.). The Vice Pres- ident began to lay before the Senate cer- tain House bills received, but was inter- rupted by Mr. Stewart (Nev.), who made the point of order that no business was in order until the journal of Monday last was approved. The ruling of the Vice Presi- dent, however, was that it was in order to have the bilis read and referred to com- mittees. That was done—the New York bridge bill being one of those presented and referred. Receipts and Expenditures. A report of the finance committee was Presented and read. It contained a com- munication from the Treasury Department jim response to a resolution calling for the |Feceipts and expenditures of the govern- | ment for the first three months of the cur- | rent fscal year. The communication shows the deficit for those three months from the estimated receipts to be over $21,000,000, or at the rate of over $87,000,000 for the year. It shows the actual expenditures to have been over $98,000,000, or an average of about $33,000,000 a month. The expenditures for the year at the same rate would amount to about $34,000,000, or about $21,000,000 more than the estimated expenses, “and would expenditures posed ‘actual receipts of a little over 39h. Gno,000, A fefinite forecast for the whole | possible, but that, should the present conditions ‘cont tinue, ‘the deficit at the end of the year, was ordered printed, °™™ THE Feport Mr. Stewart Again. ‘The discussion of the last two days was then taken up again, and Mr. Stewart (Nev.) addressed the Senate. Mr. Stewart finished his speech within two hours and left the chamber. He had little to say about the rules, except to declare, at the close of his speech, that the attempt to wet ie ice President to | and make himself Infamous wes sotrtieres and that the Vice President would not thus lay his hands on the Constitution and laws of his country, but would administer the Fules and Protect the minority. le was followed by Mr. Dubois (Idaho), who declared that there could be no ore unfortunate occasion for the exercise of speech, that he would not withdraw from the position he had taken against the repeal bill, even if the penalty. of expulsion were visited upon him, as suggested at one of the night sessions by Mr. White of Loulsi- ana, whose language on that occasion was, ‘he said, more fit for a barroom than for the Senate. White's absence) said eh, zit 08 Me t he had not understood Mr. White's re- mark, and was asked by Mr. Dubois whether he subscribed to that doctrine. He stated what he understood Mr. White to have eaid—to the effect that for a Senator to sit silent and refuse to vote was @ viola~ tion of the rules and was disorderly con- arhfter,a speech by Mr. Call (ia change in the rules, notice was given by Mr. Quay (Pa.) of an amendment to tke repeal bill, making it go into effect on Jan- uary 1, 186. Mr. Butler (8. C.) then took the floor, and inveighed against the propo- sitions of Senators Hill and Mills. He re- marked that the party in power was bent on mischief. He is still speaking in an im- passioned style. He declared that if the propositions of Senators Hill and Mills were adopted there Would be bedlam in the Senate, if not an- archy. against THE HOUSE. ‘Mr. Outhwaite (Ohio) from the committee on rules, reported a resclution making the bankruptcy bill a continuing special order for next Monday—the bill to be considered in the House or in committee of the whole as the rules of the House may determine. ‘There was some objection made to the lat- ter part of the resolution, and Mr. Outh- waite modified It so as to provide that the bill should be considered in committee of the whole. ‘The resolution, as modified, was agreed to.

The House committee on public lands yes- terday considered the resolution calling for an investigation of the circumstances sur- rounding the opening of the Cherokee strip. A letter from A. P. Swineford, special in- | Spector in charge of the opening of the strip, called attention to the fact that it was unjust to hold the Interior Deparment responsible for the actions of the deputy marshais, as they were under the Depart- ment of Justice. Swineford asserts that much of the trouble was due to Delegate | Flynn and his associates, who advised the | + people to ignore the orders given by the In- terior Department, and he charges them now with seeking to evade the Tresponsi- bility for the results of their acts by blam- ing it upon the department. Mr. Swineford Says a conspiracy exists of “kicking” dem- ocrats and hold-over republican officials, | chief of whom are District Attorney Speed j and the postmaster at Oklahoma, to bring {the administration Into disrenute ‘In cone nection with the Cherokee opening, and he urgently requests that these officials be re- meved. a SPECIAL NOTICES.

Delivering Eulogies on the Life was continued in the Senate at 10 How Senator Palmer Managed to Oreate Much Amusement. An Incident That Relieved the Strain of the Warring Factions in the Senate. ‘The gravity of the situation in the Senate ‘was broken this afternoon by a most amus- ing incident. At about 1 o'clock Senator Palmer took the floor to ask for the exten- sion of the renowned senatorial courtesy to Serator Teller, “I was. considerably puzzled,” he said, “during the speech of the Senator from Ne- vada as to the exact nature of the question before the Senate. After considerable in- quiry, however, I have ascertained that the question is the motion of the Senator from Colorado (Mr. Teller) to amend the journal of Monday's proceedings by inserting his own name in the last roll call. Now this is @ very simple request. It is purely a per- sonal plea. It seems to me there should be no hesitation about granting it. Yet there has been a debate of many hours over this question of personal privilege, over this almost tearful request of the Senator from Colorado, to permit him to be enrolled in the journal. ‘rhis is very discourteous. it is unusual, unnatural and cruel. It 1s not treating the Senator from Colorado with proper consideration. Now, therefore, I ask’ unanimous consent that this rather very simple request be complied with. It seems to me that there should be no objection to such 2 petition so politely preferred.” Several Objections. A roar of laughter greeted the conclusion of Senator Palmer's remarks, in the midst of which Senator Dubois sang out “I ob- ject,” then Senator Call noted his objection and Senator Faulkner secured the floor to make a third one. Senator Palmer held up his hands in mock horror. His face wore an amused smile of perplexity. “I am amazed,” he said, “at this callous indifference on the part of the Senate. I made the motion in the hope of preserving the traditions of the courtesy of the Senate, but in the face of this tremenduous oppo- sition I am forced to despair.” A Child’s Crying. During a murmur of amusement that rippled over the floor and galleries there came the sound of the voice of a small child. It rose and rose and swelled and swelled until it had developed into a verit- able yell. In the space next to the diplo- matic gallery reserved for ladies could be seen a frantic mother endeavoring to calm the youngster. She had him down on one of the seats and seemed to be trying to smother him with a shawl, but his lungs had the call on the situation. The door- keeper of the gallery rushed wildly down the aisle and yanked the child out by the arms with his mother hold of one foot. The yelling continued louder than ever. The Senatorial smiles grew into a giggle and then into a guffaw. The watchman, less tender than he might have been, had nearly succeeded in imitating Solomon in his famous act of the division of the popu- lation by the time that the door was reach- ed and the curtain had dropped upon this Uttle comedy. Senator Palmer's Happy Hit. ‘Though shaking with laughter Senator Palmer struggled to his feet and his voice rang through the noise. Waving his arm in the direction of the gallery, he seid: “Mr. President, even the children echo my despair,” and for fay two minutes the chairman's gavel could not be hi ‘This incident relieved the strain upon the Senate considerably, and put the warring factions into a better humor for a speech from Senator Call, who took the floor in defense of filibustering. ON THE INSTALMENT PLAN. How the History of Tuesday’s Legislative Day is Being Made. The history of the legislative day of Tues- day, of the calendar week beginning Octo- ber 16, 1893, is in a fair way to become painfully like one of Mr. Howell's realistic novels, It is being done on the installment plan, taken in homeopathic doses, as it were. There is an extreme danger that the legitimate calendar that ts in vogue by au- thority of an astute Roman, long since in disintegration, will soon become 0 thoroughly tangled that it will require the brains of a conference committee to straighten it out.- There is already a chron- ological chasm established between the Sen- ate and the House, and the spectacle is be- ing presented of bills being received by the Senate from the lower House on Tuesday INTENDED VIST- | DAY) evening | that were passed by the members on Thurs- day. So, too, there is the paradox of tet- ters being read in the Senate before they were written—according to the legislative schedule. Yet this ts one of the traditional ill winds that waft good fortune, for the deadlock creates three veritable sinecures. Three Verituble Sinecures. As the prayer delivered on the real Tues- day rorning is still exercising all the re- ligious influence required by the Senate, being still in force, the services of Chap- lain Milburn are not in demand. Next is the journal clerk, who is resting on his notes, so to speak, save for his infrequent roll call. Yet Mr. Spencer, the present keeper of the Senate's diary, amply de- serves a brief respite from his puzzling labors. Indeed, he is the cne who will eventually have to struggle with the vexed problem of ‘the clock on the minutes.” The third individual who is luxuriating in ease owing to the intermingling of the time is the gentleman whose arduous duty It is to raise and lower the flag over the roof of the Senate. This beautiful emblem of perpetuity must fleat from the prayer until the adjournment of each legislative day. It has thus been floating since 11 o'clock on Tuesday morning. For all temporary purposes it is nailed to the mast. —_—__+e— YELLOW FEVER. The News From the Infected District More Unfavorable. The news from the yellow fever district is more unfavorable. The marine hospital bureau has received a telegram from Sur- geon Murray at Brunswick stating that there were forty new cases there yesterday, seven of them being white people. There were two deaths in Brunswick yesterday from the fever, one white person and one colored person. There were two new cases at the south end of St. Simons Island and thrge new cases in Jessup, with two deaths. —————_$_+e._—_ No District Day Next Week. Next Monday is District day under the rules of the House, but it will not be claimed by Chairman Heard, he having vacated his claim in favor of the bank- ruptcy bill, which will be taken up on Mon- day by a special order. There are no Dis- trict bills on the calendar and there would be nothing to occupy the attention of the House if District day should be claimed. —o—-— zs Intertor Department Exhibit. The report of F.

Tablets Presented by the Different States. A BEAUTIFUL SHAFT. TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 19.—The Trenton battle monument was dedicated today. The pomp and splendor of the affair were im- pressive. Governors of many states partici- pated, and impressive military display was one of its features. The city was never more lavishly decorated in honor of any occasion, and never did any people manifest their patriotism more enthusiastically. Al- most every dwelling in the city was dec- orated with flags and bunting, and the pub- Me and business buildings were all hand- somely decorated with the national colors. Bvery work shop and factory was closed, and the entire population turned out to witness the exercises and festivities, and thoussnds of strangers swelled the great throng of sightseers. Among those present was Miss Rossell, the great granddaughter of Chief Justice ‘Trent, the founder of Trenton, and after whom it was named. It was formerly writ- ten “Trentstown.” ‘The Occasion Commemorated. ‘The monument commemorates the histor- {eal encounter of Gen. Washington with the British and Hessians in the streets of Tren- ton on December 26, 1776. At that time Trenton was a straggling village. Today it 1s a lively, growing city of 75,000 inhabit- ants, with here and there still standing buildings which were erected in King George's time. From the top of the monu- ment grounds made sacred by the blood of the early: patriots is visible on every side. The place where Washington with his ragged and half-famished army crossed the Delaware on that cold Christmas night be- fore the battle is only two miles distant. ‘Through a glass the battle fields of Princeton and Monmouth may be seen. The monument stands in Monument Park, at the junction of Warren and Green streets and Brunswick, Princeton and Pennington avenues, the exact spot where Capt. Alex. Hamilton of New York opened his battery of the New York state company of artillery on the Hessian foe. A Great Gathering. Around about the monument 30,000 people were gathered to witness the exercises. The military rested arms in Warren street, the thoroughfare down which the Hessians were swept and from whose soll mementos im the shape of shot and shell are still occa- sionally dug up. The failure of President Cleveland and other distinguished men to arrive from Washington was deeply regretted, since it Was their intention to be present if possible. However, the dignity and interest of the occasion were scarcely lessened, for other- wise there were no disappointments, and every feature of the program was carried ou! The national and state dignitaries that were present included Governors Flower of New York, Pattison of Pennsylvania, Fuller of Vermont, Reynolds of Delaware, Russell o setts, Werts of New Jersey, ecticut, and Brown of Mary- ex-Governors Abbett and Green, and on the grand stand among them was the Venerable Dr. K. H. Doty of Jamesburg, whose cousin, Van Wart, was one of the captors of Andre; near him were Col. John Sschuyler and William D. H. Washington of New York. ‘The latter is a grandson of Capt. William Augustine Washington, in was wounded within a hundred yards of the monument. The civic societies largely represented were the Society of Cincinnati, Sons of the Revolution, the New Jersey Society of Col- onial Dames of America, Princeton Battle Monument Association, Daughters of the American Revolution and the Monmouth Battle Monument Association. ‘The Battle Monument. ‘The shaft, Roman Doric in style, Is of white granite. It towers 135 feet in the alr and is surmounted by a bronze statue of ‘Washington, thirteen feet high, and is the gift of New York state. ‘Washington is represented as standing, glass in hand, surveying the fleeing Hes- sians, and with right arm extended, pointing down the street—now Warren street—in the direction ge wished Capt. Hamilton's bat- tery to open on the foe. The figure is in the full uniform of a continental. general officer, an exact representation of the form worn by Washington during the revo- lutionary war. The statue was designed by William R. O'Donovan of New York, and was cast at the National Art Foundry of New York, while the whole plan of the monument was conceived by John H. Dun- can of New York. Artistically, the column seems to be faultless in design and it is confidently thought that it will be account- ed through all time as one of the most per- fect monumental shafts. of victory in the world. Its summit will be accessible by means of an electric elevator, thus affording to every visitor a fine view of the quaint, old town in which the famous battle took place. Thirteen electric lights from the top of the monument will shed their radiance upon the darkness every night, as by day the thir- teen stars carved upon the capitol will de- note the original states of the union. ‘There are four tablets on the base of the pedestal supporting the column. In thelr historical order they are as follows: ‘The relief on the west side of the base represents “The Continental Army Cross- ing the Delaware River.” The design de- parts widely from the crossing as depicted by Leutze in his celebrated picture so faulty in his delineation of the direction of the paswage of the boats; in the kind of boats used in the representation of the ice and the flag carried by the American army. In its design the Durham boats which Gen. Washington directed to be collected from the upper waters of the Delaware during his march through the Jerseys appear prominent as having been used for convey- ing the army from the Pennsylvania to the New Jersey shore. Rafts also appear as they were used in transporting the horses, In the immediate foreground Capt. Wil- lam Washington and the lieutenant of his company, James Monroe, afterward Presi- dent of the United States. Both of these officers were wounded in the battle at Tren- ton. With them, evidently alarmed at some noise on the New Jersey shore, is Col. Fid- ward Hand and the Pennsylvania regiment of sharpshooters commanded by that gal- lant officer. ‘The current is swift and the passage dan- gerous on account of the early winter ice which drifted roughly against the boats, requiring great skill in paddling them. The little boat in the foreground contains Gen. ‘Washington and Col. Knox. The artillery- men and the Jersey farmer are towing them on the river. In the distance y be seen the shore of New Jersey as it appears today. This tablet is presented to the as- sociation by the commonwealth of Penn- sylvanta. ‘On the south side is the relief showing the opening of the fight. The battery of Capt. Hamilton is presented as about to fire the first shot at the enemy in King street. The mounted figure of this brave soldier,who af. terward became the gifted statesman, is conspicuous in the foreground. This tab- let is presented by the state of New York. ‘The relief on the east side of the monu- ment depicts “The Surrender of the Hes. sians,” which took place on the outskirts of the village. The regiments of Rall and Von Lossberg are shown, in the act of sur- rendering to the American army.

Mr. Hill and those other Senators who do not propose to have the traditions of the Senate stand in the way of legislation are hard at work today on a plan of Mr. Hill's to force a vote on a change of rules. The administration sanction is said to be given to Mr. Hill's plan, and he and all those who agree with him admit of no doubt that they will succeed. The caucus of the repub- licans held last night was for the purpose of trying to get enough republicans to join with democrats under the leadership of Hill to force a vote on the change of rules and thus to secure the adoption of closure. ‘The caucus was in the form of a dinner at the residence of Senator McMillan and seventeen republicans were present. Mr. Frye was champion of the proposition for clcsure, and the matter was discussed at length, but the action required was not secured for the reason that there were not evough present, and those there were not ail in favor of the plan. Today Mr. Hill is trying to get signatures of democrats to a paper pledging them to give their votes and support in every way to an attempt to cut off dilatory moves and to secure the prompt adoption of closure. A similar paper is being circulated among the republicans. Hil! wants twenty demo- crats and twenty-three republicans, and appears to be perfectly confident that he will get them. How they propose to use the votes, if secured, is not disclosed. Some, who think, that the Vice President will mot go outside of the traditional rules of the Senate, say it could only be on an appeal from his decision that anything could be hoped for by Hill. The move has caused a great deal of talk in the Senate and some excitement. It is not believed to be possible for ‘the signa- tures of a majority to be secured in support of the project, but the attempt is regarded as bold and threatening to the stability of the musty traditions of the Senate. At the same time talk of compromise is renewed and it 1s said that this time some- thing 1s sure to come out of it. ‘The confer- ence of representatives of the several fac- tions who are trying to get together on a compromise has been in progress off and on all during the day. The plan now discussed 1s @ modification of those heretofore consid- ered, and the projectors declare that its adoption will in all probability be secured before this week closes. Mr. Hill’s Plan. While Mr. Hill's plan to change the rules by springing -into the saddle and riding straight through the traditions of the Sen- ate with enough Senators behind him io Prevent repulse is not expected to succeed directly, it is apparently having an. in- fluence over the actions of Senators, and & compromise is apt to be hastened by this danger menacing. Hil) is full of fight and ready to take all the risk there is in it if he can get the men to follow him. It is probable that even if a compromise is adopted he will still persist in his ob- fect tg sweep away the rules and tradi- tions Which permit a minority to hold the Senate in check. After the silver fight is over, if the settlement now under way is secured, the question of rules may be the subject of a sharp fight. CAPITOL TOPICS, ‘Wants Information.

The Sec- retary of War is directed to ascertain the men borne on their muster roll between July, 1868, and April, 1885, that their claims for services may be adjusted by Congress. ‘The Printing Bill. Representative Pickler of South Dakota is known as one of the luckiest men in Cen- gress in getting bills through the House and in getting favors in the departments. Yes- terday he performed the feat of increasing the appropriation for the publication of the government Horse book to 75,000 copies, and that in the face of the warning from Chair- man Sayers of the appropriation commit- tee that such lavish expenditures will a® to the embarrassment of the depleted treas- ury. Mr. Richardson succeeded in preserving that portion of the printing bill which pro- hibits Congressmen from printing on franked envelopes, at government expense, the titles of the speeches inclosed. Investigate the Navy. Mr. Meyer from the committee on naval affairs today submitted to the House a favorable report on the resolution providing for a joint committee of three Senators and three members of the House to investigate and report upon the subject of the person- nel of the navy. The report is a lengthy review of the present condition of the per- sonnel and touches freely upon the neces- sity for new laws. ——__-e-—______ UNDERGROUND WIRES. Cincinnati's Electrician Calls Trolley Wires an Abomi Mr. John Cabot, who is city electrician of Cincinnati, has recently made a tour of the eastern cities for the purpose of inspecting the electrical systems in use. His report 1s full of good points. There is no mincing of meaning or searching after smooth words, The double trolley system of sup- plying motive power to electric cars he Plainly calls “a monstrosity.” The single trolley system is bad, he says, but the dou- ble trolley is ten times worse. The in fact, deals extensively with the doing away of overhead wires. He calls attention to the fact that New York has ordered the wires down and that in Buffalo there are eighteen or twenty miles of underground trolley wires. The companies there have but little trouble in operating them, the cause of the same belng defective insul tion or the acts of malicious persons. In Washington, he says, a line operated by underground trolieys was in successful ope- ration. In his opinion there should be no trouble in placing trolleys under the sur- face of the street. In this reference he took occasion to criticise the sloveniy manner of erecting the overhead wires that pre- vails in Cincinnati. The electric lighting system on 5th ave- nue in New York he denominated as ideal. Two twelve-hundred candle-power lamps) are hung on posts distant 135 feet from each other, and the result is that the light is firm and flawless. The posts themselves are ornamental, and not unsightly sticks, In all places he found hoods on the lamps. Rifling the Mails. Chief of Post Office Inspectors Wheeler has been notified by wire of the arrest at | Chattanooga, Tenn., of A. Farrington, on the charge of rifling the mails. The accused ‘was held in the sum of $1.00) bond to await the action of the grand jury. Inspector Whiteside made the arrest. ——___+ o- _____ Gov.

A Wild Stampede of Children at} wounds ot me the Garnet Building. LITTLE ONES HAVE A Several Severely Injured in the One Available Doorway. ONE OF THE EXITS CLOSED. A few minutes before 10 o'clock this morn- ing there was a panic in the Garnett School buflding, 10th and U streets north- west, and a number of pupils were injured in trying to escape from the building. There are 600 colored pupil accommodated in the building. The panic was caused by a boy, Windsor Robinson, who was in a school room on the third floor, falling in a fit. The noise frightened pupils in an adjoining room, and started a cry of fire. Nearly all of the rooms in the building were emptied at once. There was but one exit, that in front, as the rear one had been closed on account of building operations. A Terrible Jam. ‘There was a terrible jam in the front en- try and a score or more of children were crushed, but none fatally injured. Am Appalling Scene. The scene in the building when the panic rose was appalling. Many of the teachers were unnerved. All of the injury to the children was done, as stated, in the front entry. There is a pair of doors there that swing either way and let children in and out of the building. There is just under the door an oblong entry way about fifteen feet by six. This is below the level of the main floor of thé building. Seven stone steps rise to this floor. These steps are about ten feet wide and are on one side, the space on the other side being occupied by a stairway going down to the cellar. There was ap- parently no great jam until the children in their wild flight reached this seven-step stairway descending to the entry. There was @ crush there and some of them went down upon -the stone floor. Others fell or flung themselves upon them and in an in- stant there was a struggling mass of chil- dren, indiscriminately piled up in the box- like chamber. Those underneath who were conscious were screaming with terror and pleading for help. The janitor and others who came went to the rescue at once, and in a few minuates had got the injured out of the heap. Many were bruised and bleed- ing and the floor was stained with blood. ‘The Start of the Panic. ‘The school is filled with children of all ages from six to eighteen. On the third floor is Miss Dietz’s fifth grade. It was in her rccm that the incident which led to the panic occurred. A geography recitation was in progress. The school building was quiet, only the hum of study and recitation break- ing upon the ear. In the room just below Miss Dietz Miss Davis’ school was going through the physical or calisthenic exer- cises. Windsor Robinson, one of Miss Dietz’s pupils, was standing in the aisle by his desk reciting. He is a large boy, seventeen years old, and weighs about 160 pounds. Suddenly Robinson fell back- ward in the aisle. He was attacked with a fit. He fell straight back in the aisle and his heavy body ‘made a thud and noise which startled the- whole building. The pupils in the room naturally sprang to their feet uttering, exclamations of alarm and horror. The doors of the rooms all through the building were open and the children in the room across the hall from Miss Dietz’s room caught the alarm and made a rush for the door. They uttered cries of “fire” and “murder,” and this seems to have sent a thrill of fright through the whole building. Miss Dietz’s pupils, ‘knowing the cause of the trouble, ept their room. In the other parts of the building the children had heard only the jarring fall and screams of terror. The thought that the building had fallen in Seems to have flashed into the minds of all. They were frightened beyond control and rushed out of thelr rooms and began the mad flight to the trap-like entrance. The Excitemen the immediate neighborhood. The panic spread, and there was great excitement. and relatives of the tangied. The quiet was restored. The Exits. ing, and Mr. Montgomery, the superin- tendent of the division, both attributed the serious results of the panic to. negligence ‘on the part of the authorities in charge of the work of erecting the school building just in the rear of the Garnet building. Lumber and brick have been piled up so the building. This has been practically closed, so a Star reporter was told, since and the boys went out of the front way. Now they all go out of the one way, the only way open. Mr. Cromwell and’ Mr. Montgomery were both of the opinion that if this north entrance had been open no one would have been injured. The stairs appear to have been of ample size to ac- commodate even such a rush as that which they witnessed this morning. The Police. Before the excitement was over the police from the eighth precinct station, just across as the officers from the beats about the vicinity of the school, were on hand to lend their assistance, and they did good work in getting the injured ones to their homes and to the hospital. The officers and it took butya few minutes to get the injured ones to places where they could get the necessary treatment. Gessford’s drug store, corner of 9th and U streets, was used by the police as a tem- porary hospital, and there several of the bruised and injured ones received medical treatment. The officers who looked after the victins of the unfortunate affair reported the list of injured as follows: Robert Smith, 2023 Vermont avenue; Alice Braxton, 212 lith street; Marion Green. 1430 Pierce place; Mamie Herbert, 62 T street; Robert Harris, 2225 12th street: Anais West.'O street northwest between 6th ond Tth streets; Hattie Washington, 1432 W Early, 2142 10th sti Robin May Di Windsor Robinson, the boy whose se- rious affliction caused the trouble, was in a critical condition this gfternoon, and it is feared he will die. He was taken to his mother’s home, No. 2136 9th street extended, where he was attended by Dr. Gaines. He hed several spasms soon after he reached home. rt. |_ Mrs. Robinson told a Star reporter that her boy, who is fourteen years old, was subject ‘to spasms when he was several years younger, but he had not had one for several years.
