Brown and Mary Smith, whose hearts up to that date had beaten only for each other, became tired of playing only one part in the great drama of life, and started in to do a fight- ing scene. It went off beautifully for some time. First Mary, the heroine, was a tem- porary victor, and then William became the better. Both were becoming exhausted, when the changed Romeo decided to put an end to the disturbance by putting an end to Mary, and raising an open knife over her throat was about to plunge it in, when an officer dashed up and put the would-be conqueror under arrest. The scene of the fight was laid in “Bos- ton” between 33d and 34th streets. Four boys, ranging from 12 to 15 years | of age, and whose habits for some days Past have indicated that they have no available homes, were arrested yesterday | on complaint of having acted suspiciously in the vicinity of the college. When search- ed at the station great quantities of poet- | Teal effusions on the basest subjects were | | turned ott of their pockets. Literature of | | the ood Dick and Calamity Jane | style was also found in abundance. | 3t was learned that the boys are Balti- more runaways. Short Paragraphs. Emigrant birds, partridges and robins, find no rest in this section, as the hoys and men are continually making war on them with shotguns. The college woods, | where there used to be countless birds, | has been entirely depopulated. Lovers of | the little feathered fellows are deploring the slaughter. Male Tenleytown will convene tonight to once again talk over the condition of their place, hear the report of the committee ap- pointed at the last meeting to lay their complaints before the highest authorities | of the District and take additional steps to | better their condition. Rev. Hoge Hunter, a minister who though | eighty years of age is still remarkably elo quent, preached at Grace Church yesterday. | At Christ Church the Rev. Mr. Baldwin | of Jacksonville, Fla., yesterday sermonized at both morning and evening services. The Georgetown cyclists are never idle. Yesterday four of them, Cook, Hunt, Ward and Kolster, made a century run to Balti- more. The trip, which consumed but nine hours, was without accident or incident. dent. Samuel Duvall on_ Saturday sold to Matilda F. Knott for $1,800 part of a tract on the Tenleytown road near its junction with the Loughborough. There was an interesting party given on Friday last by Master Walter Coon at 1311 ‘Wt¥eee: “Among those present were: Miss ‘an,.Miss Biggs, Miss Evans, Miss Birch, M Germantown, Md., M Thompson, Mr. Kelly and Mr. Cook. Mr. Huntresse’s performance on the piano was an entertaining feature of the even- ing. Dancing was enjoyed. The receipts at the Georgetown custom house last week exceeded $8,000. It was one of the largest weeks the port of Georgetown has had for a long time. Funeral of J. Walter Paxton. The funeral of J. Walter Paxton, son of the late John S. Paxton, took place yester- day afternoon from his late residence at Port Deposit, Md., and was largely at- tended by his relatives and friends of this city. —___ MADE OF PORTLAND CEMENT. A “Petrified Wo: Investigated by the Geological Survey. When the owner of the “petrified woman” arrived in this city last week, after a truly triumphant campaign through the country, he sent an invitation to Maj. Powell to test its genuineness,offering to assist the investi- gation in every way. At the same time he exhibited on his walls fifty yards of testimonials from thousands of prominent people attesting the genuineness of the “pet- rifaction,” including the names of a thou- sand physicians and the entire faculty of several colleges in Ohio, Illinois and Vir- ginia. In acceptance of his invitation, some fif- teen or twenty members of the geological suryey and ethnological bureau assembled yesterday at the rooms where the stone woman, weighing 350 pounds, was laid out like an undraped corpse in_ death. The owner gave every facility. The petrified woman was turned over on her face on the floor, and a stone auger was applied to her left leg, just above the knee. An ample core was taken out, and the material was declared by the scientists present to be Portland cement. The geologists and chem- ists were satisfied that the exhibit was clearly a manufacture. The mold was prob- ably made from a living woman. In this connection it may be added that somebody in California seems to have the petrifaction “habit” in a most dangerous form, for another “petrifaction” is on show in the south, and the last St. Louls papers contain the announcement of another simi- lar find in Missouri—a nude man, six feet three inches high. The striking peculiarity of this Washington case, next to the accu- racy and delicacy of the cast itself, is the large number of physicians and distinguish- ed men who have been fooled by it. 2 Ris we TO WINTER AT THE zoo. A Collection of Interesting Animals Soon to Arrive at the Park. ‘The announcement in Saturday's Star that some of the animals to be deposited in the zoo by Manager McCaddon of the Fore- paugh’s shows for the winter would pri v- ably arrive here Saturday caused very many persons to visit the zoo yesterday, despite the threatening weather. None of the expected animals had arrived, however, for after consultation with Manager Mc- Caddon it was thought best to make one shipment of the animals, and hence none will arrive here until after accommodations have been provided for all of them at the zoo. It is expected that the work necessary to complete these accommodations will ke concluded by the first of the month, when the animals will be brougat over here from Philadelphia in a special train ani in their |regular cages and s, Che dens wid cages will then be naule1 out to the +00 and the animals then transferred to the cages provided for them in the animal house on the hill. The animals which will be wintered here are one hippopotamus, a rhinoceros, thirty- five monkeys, six kangaroos, three camels two dromedaries, four lions, three hyenas one tiger, a wart-hog, two Rocky mountain sheep, a pelican and a cassowary. The hippopotamus is the largest in this 2ountry, and an immense cage containing a greai tank is being built for him in the antmal house. The camels and dromedaries will be the only animals of the collection which will not be placed in the animal house. A comfortable house and large yard will be provided for them near the elephant house The zoo has recently received from the Yellowstone Park, where they were captur- ed, four elk, two beavers, one Virginia dee>, a black bear, a half-grown grizzly bear, a badger and a porcupine. FREDERICK CITY. An interesting item of hotel news is a change in the proprietorship of the City Hotel, this city, to take effect this week. Charles D. Doll, who has been proprietor of the hotel since it was bought several years ago by Charles H. Utermehie of Washington, has disposed of his entire in- terest to a party of Washington hotel men, with whom Mr. Utermehle is interested. They will take charge in a few days, and Mr. Doll, who is one of the oldest hotel men in the state, will retire. The City Hotel is a structure of historic interest. The origi- nal hotel, to which several additions have since been built, was here in the days when Washington passed this way in the stage coaches that traversed the National turn- pike. At the o'd hotel he was once enter- tained at tea, and the china that adorned the table was borrowed for the occasion from Barbara Freitchie, then a young ma- tron, who lived to figure conspicuously in the civil war. One of the biggest bridge enterprises ever undertaken along the upper Potomac has just been completed in the building of a splendid iron bridge across the river at Brunswick, this county, giving the people of Lovettsville and that section of Loudoun county, Va., direct access to the Maryland shore and to the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road at Brunswick for shipping and trav- eling facilities. The new bridge was built by the Brunswick and Lovettsvi'le Bridge Company of Frederick county, an incor- porated stock concern, of which Mr. Joseph D. Baker of Frederick is president, and is a handsome and substantial structure. The officers, directors and stockholders of the bridge company left here today on a special train over the Baltimore and Ohio at 2 o'clock to formally inspect the bridge, and on Saturday next there will be a big de- monstration at Brunswick in honor of the formal opening of the bridge. At the formal opening on Saturday Col. Buchanan Scniey of ‘tagerstown will ue- liver an address. There will be a parade of Adusomic anu utner secret oruers, anu puviic school children, headed by the atartins- bury Band, ana at nigut a display of nre- Words. At is expected that the new riage wilt greatly unprove the trade interests ut the county by opening up a rich secuon of Varginia to direct communicauon. ‘knere is Hkely to be a second application of the waipping post law in this city in a short time, another wife beater, David Robinson, colored, having been arrested Saturday, charged by his wife with bru- tally assaulting her. After committing the deed he reaiized the penalty that had re- cently been inflicted py the court on an- other wife beater, who yot thirty-nine lashes, and he plead with his wife not to appear against him, but she persisted in doing so, and Justice Eckstein has held him for the grand jury. Mr. Outerbridge Horsey, the wel'-known distiller of this county, with his wife and daughter .and their guest, Miss Rutledge, was out driving near Knoxville a few days ago, when the horse ran away, all the oc- cupants of the carriage being thrown out and badly hurt. Miss Horsey were bruised and cut, and Miss Rutledge received a severe injury to her hip, for which she has gone to Balti- more to receive treatment. Mr. Horsey and his family will spend the winter in Wash- ington, as usual. The Frederick county ballot case, which involved the disposition of a petition upon the part of the republican nominees for county commissioners to have their names Placed on the official ballot for the coming election, has resulted in a decision by the court of appeals, Judge Bryan rendering the opinion, adverse to the petitioners. The court holds that the amendment to the con- stitution extending the terms of county com- missioners was legally adopted at the elec- tion in 1891 and that, therefore, the act of the legislature of 1892 fixing the terms at six years instead of two was constitutional. The effect of the decision of the court of appeals has been rather peculiar. The re- ; Publicans, who anticipated it, are not dis- appointed, and the democrats, who expected it, are by no means elated. In fact, with the democrats a great many of them hold the opinion that the decision will damage the interests of the ticket at the coming election and perhaps lose the party many votes. The democratic candidate for sheriff is al- leged to have remarked that at least three hundred voters were pledged to him on the strength of the court deciding in favor of republican nominees, and these votes he fears he will now lose. Not only republi- cans, but a great many conservative dem- ocrats, look upon the amendment and the manner of its passage as an attempt to re- tain thepresent democratic county office hold- ers in power six years instead of two,and this statement is an unbiased view of the case. The decision of the court in the Frederick county matter has had the effect of causing contestants in Washington, Carroll and oth- er counties, where a similar amendment was adopted, to abandon their case and abide by the decision as expressed in the opinion of Judge Bryan. The annual county statement for the fiscal year has just been made by the commission- ers and shows aggregate receipts and rev- enues of $156,473.56, the total expenditures being $155,792.73, which leaves a balance of $680.83. The taxable basis of the county is about $23,000,000 and the county tax rate 62 cents on the $100. The bonded debt is $324,- 300, including $100,000 worth of bonds issued for building bridges and replacing property destroyed by the flood of 188. New county roads cost the county during the year $1,439.07, and to the public school commis- sioners was appropriated $35,000. The jail and almshouse received $11,600, jurors and talesmen cost $5,000 and state witnesses $1,500. Indications that point to the existence of a profitable vein of coal have been found on the farm of Daniel J. Young, near Yellow Springs, this county. A party of workmen, engaged in deepening a well, suddenly came across a vein of rich black shale, with which were intermingled large portions of bitu- minous coal. A further examination of the spot was made, with the result that opera- tions for the mine of the vein are contem- plated at an early day. The Rev. Dr. G. C. H. Hasskarl, pastor of St. James’ Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, has been honored by election to membership in the London Society of Arts, Letters and Science. Mrs. Charles F. Dixon died at her home here Saturday, aged forty-seven years. She was a daughter of the late John Wilcox- on of Frederick and leaves a husband and seven children. She was well known and highly respected in the community. —_—_. MODERN BARRY SYNDONS. How Rich People Were Swindled at Cards in Germany. The charges against the men connected with the German gambling scandal men- tioned in Saturday's Star are gambling, cheating at cards, usury and fraudulent payment by means of worthless lottery tickets. More than one hundred army offi- cers, ranking from lieutenant to major gen- eral, have been summoned from the prin- cipal garrisons throughout the empire to testify. The case was first called last July, but the difficulty of assembling the wit- nesses necessitated an adjournment. Even- tually the president of the court appealed to Gen. von Kaltenberg, war minister, through the minister of justice,.to com- mand the officers whose testimony was re- quired to attend the trial. This was done. Although the nature of the evidence has been kept secret as far as possible, it is known that the prisoners operated in all the German watering places, notably Hom- burg, Nordoney, Berlin, Hanover and Wies- baden. Among their most conspicuous vic- tims were Lieut. Freiherr von Schierstedt, Capt. Freiherr von Wuelfens, nephew of Gen. von Wuelfens, and Lieut. Freiherr von Mildel. Even women were induced to try their luck and were swindled. Von Zedlitz and Von Meyerinck were the decoys in the game. On the strength of their titles they made the acquaintance of wealthy landowners, bankers and manufacturers, and brought them into the clutches of the rest of the swindlers. The game was always managed so that the stranger was plucked of his last coins. The trial of the case will last probably a week. a Believers im Single Tax. Last evening Mr. Wm. McCabe of Call- fornia and editor of the National Union Printer addressed a gathering of Washing- ton printers and their friends at Typo- graphical Temple upon the subject of the condition of the trade throughout the coun- try. He believed the present condition to be very bad, indeed, and looked for no im- provement in the condition of printers or, in fact, in that of any other wage earners until some radical change took place in social conditions. The greatest hope lay in the adoption of the single tax, and a large part of his talk was devoted to an explana- tion of the workings of Henry George's system. a) tzer Acts asa bracer.

Who Wil Occupy the Tyler Rgst- sonal Notes, Mr. Seth Barton French of New York,who has leased the Tyler residence on I street, wi'l bring a bride here with him. His en- gagement to Miss May Fearn, daughter of Mr. Walker Fearn, formerly United States minister to Greece, and now chief of the foreign department of the world’s fair, has Just been announced. Mr. French has been a widower for several years. He has two married daughters, Mrs. Chas. Steele and Mrs. Cochran. Mr. French is prominent in New York club circles. The marriage is set for December, and after their wedding trip the couple will come on here to take possession of this elegant winter home. Mr. Percy Fearn, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Walker Fearn, has just announced his engagement to Miss Eva Onderdonk of Chicago, so that matrimonial events will play a large part in the Fearn famity circle this winter. Miss Isabella Murphy of San Francisco will shortly be married in London to Senor Don Luis Dominguez, son of the former Argentine minister to this country. The sister of the bride-elect was marricd a week or two ago to a brother of Don Luis, and is now in Madrid, where her husband is attached to the Argentine legation as first secretary. As each of these young ladies enjoys the income of 3,000,000 good American dollars, and are immensely clever and accomplished, and having lived abroad the most of their lives in London, where an elder sister is married into the English nobility, the good fdrtune attend- ing the suits of the two Dominguez broth- ers, who are widely known also in this city, can be well estimated. Dr, and Mrs.. Wm. May will be in New York for the marriage there on Wednesday of the latter's sister, Miss Edith Draper, to Mr. L. Vaughn Clark, in Grace Church Chantry. Dr. May will give the bride away. Miss Edith Draper is well known here by her frequent visits to her sister. Not more than fifty friends will be invited to the re- ception that will follow at the residence of Mrs. Draper. The couple will take the steamer the same afternoon und sail for Europe, where they will spend their honey- moon. Mrs. John Bidwell of Chico, Cal., is now on a visit to her sister, Mrs. T. H. Alex- ander, 1207 N street. Gen. Bidwell, who is in Chicago, will join his wife about the 3d proximo. % Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Waite will give a large reception at their home in Columbus, Ohio, tonight, to celebrate the twenty- fitth anniversary of their wedding, Mr. Waite is the son of the late chief justice, and is well known in this city, and many of the invitations for this event ‘came here. There will be special trains to convey the guests from different points in Ohio, and the occasion will be a memorable one in many ways. The engagement is announced of Miss Mott Smith, daughter of the ex-minister of the Hawaiian Islands, to Robert M. Lovett, instructor of English at the Chicago Uni- versity. Miss Lula Smith of 89 E street is in Chi- cago. Mrs. A. M. McConnell and daughter left yesterday for the world’s fair.

Neely, vice president; Mary Leese, recording secretary; Robert Neely, treasurer, and Wm. Leese, corresponding secretary. . Miss Emma Mohler has returned from a long stay in Chicago. ees WRECKED NEAR FORT WAYNE. Six Persons Injured in a Collision in the Fog.

EAT QUAKER OATS ELECTION METHODS IN NEW YORK. How Voters Inspectors Are Ter- rorised—Illegal Registration. The New Herald, which is exposing reg- istration and election frauds in New York, saya. . The way leaders usually colonize illegal voters was to bring into certain districts pp of-Adle, vicious tramps and distribute them \thropgh various lodging houses. The leaders paid for the rooms, and also “made it right’ with the “seedlings” who thus were planted. This year, it seems, even these audacious, disgraceful methods have beeg surpassed. At present the trouble is not taken to “plant” scores of such groups in lodging houses; instead, the leaders mere- ly collect them, march them to the polls to be. registered, and there they swear that they have resided from thirty days to ten years in houses where they have never been for a single night. Of course this plan does away with much expense {n the way of room rent, and very few men are required to fill the registration books, compared with the numbers deemed necessary in years past. That section of the city wherein this oll- garchy has reached its fullest development Mes in the third assembly district, which overlaps the Bowery for many blocks on either side, and which includes the toughest portions of such streets as Elizabeth, Mott, Mulberry, Chrystie, Forsyth, Eldridge, fiv- ington, Delancey, Broome, Spring, &c.; a region wherein are dives of every description, from “queer” saloons amd ordinary gam- ‘bling rooms, down to rows of cheap houses whage shutters are never unbarred, whose doors are always standing open a few inches. An enormous population live in those Streets, of every nationality. The great, grim tenements, rearing their ungainly roofs far up toward the sky, are honeycombed with rooms which swarm with humanity. Theréin men, women and chidren are close- ly packed by night. By day they overflow, the men going to work, or to lounge about saloon doors; the boys and girls to play and fight in the narrow, dirty streets; the little children, scarcely able to toddle alone, learn- ing from them oaths and expressions of sickening vulgarity. Ah, it is pitiful! In that region entire blocks of tenements are peopled by the most ignorant Italians, Slavs and Russians. In fine weather slat- ternly women, nearly every one having a babe at her breast, gather in groups on the pavement to chat with each other or with hucksters, whose handcarts, standing by the gutter, bear fruits and vegetables more or less decayed, and fish already rotting. Com- paratively few of these people speak Eng- lish. There the common language has been German, but if one desires to get along with ease he must also understand one of the many Italian dialects. Over this third assembly district, unde- niably the worst in the city, Timothy D. Sullivan holds sway absolute, autocratic, complete. He is the mainspring of an or- ganization, politically and commercially, the perfect discipline of which has never been surpassed, probably, in any assembly dis- trict at any time. He can make or mar the political fortunes of any man or group of men living therein. He can raise to pros- | perity or ruin any man carrying on business whose customers are residents of his princi- Ppality. So great is this man’s power and So greatly is it feared that his subjects, re- publicang and Tammanyites alike, are afraid to own. their very souls. Not merely are private citizens so intimidated, but sworn officers of the law—inspectors of elections. For example, a few days ago Charles H. Murray, republican leader of this third as- sembly district, was called upon by a repub- lean’ inspector who told him that the two democratic inspectors on his board had al- lowed one man to register under a false name, notwithstanding that he had known him by bis real name for years and that he el d him. Naturally Mr. Murray was interested, and more so when the republican inspector added that another man who had been allowed to register was a criminal. Mr. Murray did not tell me of this experi- ence. The news came through another source, but when questioned he admitted that the inspector had told him this. With- out letting him know the matter was pre- arranged I managed to bring the inspector and witness together down town the follow- ing evening. And then the inspector ab- solutely refused to repeat his words. He became terror stricken. “Why, if such a statement should come from me,” he exclaimed, “I would be ruined! Some of ‘Dry Dollar's’ men would put up a job and get me arrested, They would hound me out of business, out of home, out of this part of the city. ‘But the question is,” I remarked,"‘wheth- er you will make affidavit to that which you stated to Mr. Murray.” No!” the inspector said, his face growing pale, his fingers working nervously. “I was mistaken about it.” Just then Mr. Murray came into the room, and he backed up the inspector's words th “Should his name be used he would be harassed out of the district.” One great reason why “Dry Dollar” Sul- livan holds undisputed sway over the politi- cal rights and personal property of those in the third assembly district is because the republicans are frightened into absolute in- i action, with the exception of a few bold, unawed workingmen. As a rule the G. 0. P. om the east side are thoroughly cowed. fromt.the humblest inspector up to their Jeader,. Charles H. Murray, the republican candidate for district attorney. Mr. Murray phas ‘been offered affidavits from his own Neutenants charging illegal registration, falsification of books and perjury. He ab- solutely refuses to attempt any legal action ;that would prevent further crime on the last two days of registration, saying the attempt would be futile. Still another of many instances of tyranny is the experience in the nineteenth election district, where one of “Dry Dollar's in- spectors is alleged to have seized and falsi- fied the registration books, refused to allow the republican inspector to look at any naturalization papers, and drank himself ,into a state of intoxication while on duty. ————___—_ see = Work on Public Buildings. ‘Treasury officials assert that the work on various public buildings, now in course of | construction, is going on without interrup- tion and that there {s no desire or intention of interfering with the progress of the work in any way.

To do this success- fully you need to put on healthy. ‘flesh, rouse the liver to vigorous action, so it will throw off these germs, and purify the blood so that there will be no “ weak spot,” nor soil for germ-growth, We claim for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, that it does all this in a way pecu- liar to itself. It is the devel tol poet erations “f medical thought—it has stood the test of a quarter of a century of cures. ‘That is why the makers can guarantee it. In every trouble caused by torpid liver or impure ‘blood, if the “ Discovery” fails to benefit or cure, your money is refunded.

In contipuing the $%5 rate for discases of the Rose and throat we feel that an explanation is due the public, for when we announced that the rate would cease Oct. 20 it was fully our intention so to do, but owing to the numerous requests for [an extension that poured tn upon us the last few days from people still out of the city, those leav- jing the city for a while and others, who, owing to the financial stringency, were unprepared to take treatment now, we have decided to grant one | more extension, and in doing 80 to give all ample | opportunity to take advantage of the low rate therefore. WE HAVE EXTENDED THE $5 RATE TO NOV. 1 INCLUSIVE, WHEN IT WILL PosI- TIVELY CEASE, unless more patients ehould de- sire treatment than can receive thorough atten- | tion, im which event it will close souner. CONSULTATION IN it EULENBURG CAUSES TROUBLE. A Ministerial Crisis Impending in Germany. The differences between Count von Ca- privi, the Germany imperial chancellor, and , Count Botho zu Eulenburg, the Prussian | premier, have reached a stage so acute that @ ministerial crisis impends. | Bulenburg precipitated the trouble. He told the emperor that he would resign if | Caprivi’s concessions to Russia in the cus- | toms negotiations we-e approved. But be- | hind this excuse is a deep intrigue in which Dr. Bosse, Dr. Miquel and Herr von Hay- | den, all Prussian ministers, have played | leading parts. | Caprivi has not interfered in the Prussian | election campaign, yet the Agrarians accuse | him of aiding eandidates who favor a tariff | reform policy, and these charges have pro- duced a great stir among the Prussian offi- | cials. Unless the emperor can restore harmony before the reichstag assembles that body | will be paralyzed. The feud has passed the | boundaries of Prussia already, and is con- ae political issues in other parts of the empire. | Women ARE Qui’ to abpreeiate a qood thine veer | housekeeper has longed or Some NEN shoxtening, citer and more healthful ” than has heretofore been Xnown .
