CHICAGO, Oct. 31.—With the grand total of 21,147,212 paid admissions the world’s fair Was officially closed last night. Though these figures represent the paid admissions during the time allotted by Congress in which the exposition should be kept opén, yet it is calculated that at least 1,000,000 tickets will be purchased before the beauti- ful white city is dismantled and leveled to the ground. When the fair closed Sunday night the total paid admissions up to that time were 21,269,039. When the receipts were counted last night the total was 21,147,212. The total number of admissions on passes Was 2,062,188, making a grand total of 23, 529,400. After the debt of the world’s fair has been paid there will remain at least $1,000,000 and perhaps more to be distributed among the stockholders. Mr. Seebeger ey this pleasant announcement yester- ye Since its organization to yesterday morn- ing the exposition has paid out $30,558,849.01, or three times the amount the managers expected to spend when they commenced building the fair. The gate receipts during the exposition period proper were little over $10,000,000. To yesterday, $3,300,000 had been collected from concessionaires by Mr. Black- mar’s department and nearly $700,000 were paid before he took hold. The returns from concessionaires was one of the big surprises of the fair. Nobody was reckless. enough to predict that that sum would be realized. The Paris exposition got but $800,000 from that source, while the centennial managers, being better traders than the Frenchmen, got $1,200,000. Gates Open Today. But the gates of the world’s fair are not closed. They were officially closed last night at 11:30 o'clock, but they were open again this morning, and there will be the usual band music during the day ahd the illumination and playing of the fountains tonight. This afternoon the executive committee of the board of directors will meet at Jack- son Park to determine how much longer and under what conditions the fair may be continued open. Their action will depend largely upon the state of the weather when the meeting is called, and the crowd in at- tendance about the grounds. If both are favorable, the exposition will doubtless be prolonged for a shom period. of the directors favor such a course. There was an informal conference among some’ of the leading directors yesterday In President Higinbotham’s office, when it was decided to call the meeting for today. There were present Director General Davis, Pres- ident Higinbotham, F, W. Peck, W.. A. Waller, Andrew McNally, I. N. Camp, Adolph Nathan, J. W. Chalmers and A, H, Reveil. . Col. Davis did not favor trying to prolong any features as an exposition. He told the members piainly that if they intended to make a fair as such after today he would decline to act as director general. When he left the meeting those remaining were still convinced that visitors should be en- couraged to come as long as the weather remains favorable. Last night some of the officials arranged to continue the lighting of the Grand Basin as long as may be desired and it was given out that it was the intention to keep things going in Jackson Park until the latter part of the week, when there could be a final night show. The final closing exercises of the board of lady managers will be held at 2 p.m. today in the assembly rooin of the woman's building. On that occasion Mrs. Potter Pal- mer, president of the board, will deliver her farewell address and a full length por- trait of her, painted by Zorn, the Swedish artist, will be unveiled. The Midway concessionaires are all at sea regarding their plans for the future. They almost all want to stay and do busi- ness, if the weather will permit and the people continue to come. Some of them have been asked if they cared to retain the ex- position cash register until the 15th of No- vember. This would indicate that the ex- position people are prepared to continue the Midway sho: some time longer. ———- SHOT DOW HIS CAPTAIN. Lieut. Maney der Arrest at Fort for Murde: NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—A special from Fort Sheridan, Ill., says: Capt. Alfred Hed- burg of company I, fifteenth infantry, sta- tioned here, was shot and killed at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Lieut. Maney, quartermaster of the same regiment. The tragedy occurred near the cavalry stables and was witnessed by a number of the cavalrymen, but only one man, Sergeant Copeland, heard the conversation that pre- ceded it, and he has been ordered to keep absolute silence until the official investiga- tion. There was a hot dispute, which was ended by the lieutenant drawing a heavy Colt’s revolver and shooting the captain in the groin. The wounded man was taken to a hospi- tal,; where he died an hour afterward. Lieut. Maney gave himself up immediate- ly, and was placed under arrest. : Capt. Hedburg was a very unpopular-of ficer. He had but few friends. A story is current at the post that Capt. Hedbarg threatened some time ago to kill Maney. It is aileged that recently the captain came home unexpectedly and: discovered the lieutenant in a very compromising position. Capt. Hedburg is alleged to have told broth- er officers that he would kill Lieut. Maney on_ sight. i Capt. Hedburg was fifty-five years old,and a native of Sweden. He served as recruit- ing officer during the closing years of the war. Lieut. James A. Maney is thirty-six years old. He graduated from West Point in the class of 1877. He has a fighting record, and is counted as an excellent sol- dier. ‘The officer of the day, Cornish, held an examination at once. Lieut. Maney said: “The shooting was a result of the trouble I had with Capt. Hedburg a month ago over the kalsomining of hig basement,when he threatened to shoot me. I expected Capt. Hedburg to shoot me if I did not get him irst, and consequently, in self-defense, I had to protect myself.” Mrs. Hedburg fainted at the sight of the bedy of her husband. She is now under the care of the surgeon. ae, A CANADIAN STATESMAN DEAD. Sir John Abbott, Ex-Premier, Expires After a Surgical Operation. MONTREAL, Oct. 31.—Sir John Abbott, ex-Premier of Canada, died at 9 o'clock last evening. His end was peaceful. Sir John’s death followed a surgical opera- tion for the removal of a cancer of the bowels, which was performed several days ago. He never rallied and died surrounded by all the members of his family. ‘Sir John’s funeral will take place on ‘Thursday afternoon and his remains will be interred in Mount Royal cemetery. John Joseph Caldwell Abbott was the son of a clergyman who settled in St. Andrew's, county of Argenteuil, Quebec, in the early years of the century. He was born in 4821, being the eidest son. He studied law, was called to the bar in due time and before long took a leading place in his profession in Montreal. He soon became known as an able counsellor ard one of the best authorities on criminal law in the province. He was the legal adviser of nearly all the leadihg ‘€nterprises organized inthe me- tropolis of Quebec. Mr, Abbott entered public life as a mem- ber for Argenteuil in the old Canadian as- sembly in 1359. in 162 he held office as solicitor general in the Sandiield-MacDonald-Sicotte admin- istration. He did not, however, take that talents would have been supposed. In 1864 he introduced and fought through 1867, upon confederation, Mr. Abbott was returned to the house of commons. Then followed the Pacific scandal and the de- again elected to the house, serving through was elected to the ‘senate and was made premier upon the death of Sir John Mc- Donald, two years ago. After serving a short time he retired, because of ill health, | and has since lived at Montreal Important Alterations Believed to Be Necessary in the Cruisers Detroit, Montgomery and Marblehead. Much concern is displayed at the Navy Department over well authenticated reports that important alterations are necessary to insure safe sea-going qualities to the cruisers Detroit, Montgomery and Marble- head. A blunder was made in the design of each of these vessels, but by whom com- mitted is not revealed. The fact that the Detroit has made the passage from New York to Bahia without any reported trouble does not lessen, it is said, the gravity of the mistake. The Detroit, Montgomery and Marble- head, three sister cruisers of 2,000 tons dis- placement each, were designed, it is an- nounced, to have metacentric heights of four feet. Of the three ships the Detroit is the only one so far commissioned, but an examination of the actual metacentric height possessed by the Detroit reveals it, it is declared, to be only fourteen inches. The Montgomery and the Marblehead were built on the same lines as was the Detroit. There is, consequently, no reason to believe that either the Montgomery or the Marblehead will be more stable when ready for sea than is the Detroit. It is further pointed out that in the de- signs for the Detroit she was to possess a draught, when down to the mean load water line, of two feet more aft than forward. The mean load water line was assumed at the draught each of the ships of the De- troit class would require when coaled and provided with stores and ammunition suffi- cient for a cruise, With her bunkers filled and the ship ready for sea, the Detroit draws two feet more forward, it is announced, than she does aft. From the fact, as reported, that the vessel was designed to draw two feet more aft than forward, it is evident that the department miscalculated the draught of this fine ship by just four feet. The trouble is that the armament is too heavy for the ships and can only be reme- died by reducing the size of the guns. Several of the best sea-going ships of the navy, including the Newark and San Fran: cisco, were designed by the construction bureau. The English hull designed vessels, the Baltimore, Charleston and Philadelphia, are not deemed nearly so good craft in point of reagoing qualities as are the out- and-out American craft. The fact, however, remains, it ts declared, that an error has been made in the design: of the Detroit and those of her two sisters, and that, too, to a degree which means that the efficiency of these vessels as fighting craft must be lessened in order to make them safe seagoing ships. As if it was not enough that the new navy should suffer by the bad calculations made on the 2,000-ton cruisers, the news now comes that the big armored cruiser New York has been made to suffer by bad calculations. The New York, it is stated, was designed to draw considerably more water aft than forward. As a matter of fact, it is announced, the big ship is so much down oy the stern as to prevent the Bring of the stern above water torpedo uw It {s now proposed, in the case of the De- troit, Montgomery, and Marblehead, to strip these fine cruisers of their and stern six-inch breech-loading rifles and also to reduce the. number of spars carried. It Is proposed, in addition, to shorten the fu: nels, and to arrange, further aft than at present, lockers for the storage of the heavy chain cables, ANOTHER CRANK WITH A PISTOL. Supt. Mathi the Postal Telegraph Co., New York, Shot. An excited workman rushed from the new building of the Postal Telegraph Com- pany at Broadway and Murray street, New York, at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and called out that a murderous crank was at large on the ground floor of the building who had already shot one man and threat- ened murder by the wholesale. Several police officers immediately rushed to the spot. Inside the building lay Supt. Frederick L. Mathias, who had charge of the construction for Architect Harvey and Gooch. He was bleeding profusely from a bullet wound in the abdomen. The police were told that. Mathias’ as- sailant was concealed behind a pile of bricks In the rear of the building. An of- ficer advanced toward the man’s hiding place and ordered him to come out. A pis- tol shot rang out and a bullet grazed the check of the policeman. The officer mounted another pile of bricks and opened @ fusillade in the direction of the man's hiding place, which the latter steadily re- turned. Finally the crank gave an unearthly scream, jumped from his hiding place, and fired three shots in quick succession at the policeman, all of which missed their mark. Officers Giblin and Cornell rushed upon him, seized his pistol, and bore the man to the ground. Even after being disarmed the man fought desperately and the policemen had to use their clubs to overcome him. The hundreds of workmen employed in the building, as well as pedestrians from Broadway, rushed in and a cry was raised of “Lynch him.” Somebody picked up a brick and struck the fellow over the head. The policemen were obliged to turn their attention to saving the man from the fury of the crowd. A. hurry eall was sent in and in a few minutes an ambulance arrived from Cham- bers street hospital. Both victim and pris- oner were conveyed to the hospital. It was found that Mathias had been shot in the abdomen and was in great danger of dying. The prisoner said his name was Francis Bradley, a laborer, without a home. It was found that some of the officer’s shots had been effective, for Bradley was wounded twice in the right forearm. * Bradley was first seen lounging around the building in the early morning. He is an unprepossessing individual, dirty and unkempt. When the superintendent came around he told the fellow to get out. A few hours later he came hark ten out saying a word, walked toward the COMED Va tue weet, we pile of bricks. A ‘workman saw this strange proceeding, and called the atten- tion of Mathias to the fact. The superin- tendent took a lighted lantern in his hand and went toward the opening and flung the rays of the lamp upon the man where he lay concealed and told him to come out. The answer was a shot. Mathias cried “I am shot,” and staggered toward the center of the building, where he fell. After being arrested Bradley made an incoherent statement about people being after him. He said he was a Grand Army man, which cannot be true, if the age he gave—thirty-one—be correct. He also said: “I had to shoot him; he was trying to shoot me. I lost my citizenship papers and was being hunted by a mob.” None of the workmen about the building know Bradley. He had never worked there nor been seen around until Sunday. The police believe he is undoubtedly in- sane and imagined he was being pursued. Others said that he acted like a drunken man or one that was badly affected by de- Irium tremens. His injuries are not very severe. see Aer Navigation. To the Edttor of The Evening Star: In your issue of the 28th instant I notice a communication from Mr. Frank Hamil- ton on the subject of aerial navigation. Mr. Hamilton suggests that “some sort of association or other intelligent co-oper- ation should be formed among those inter- ested in aerial navigation.

OUCEUCEUTEUETECUEETCEETEETT ETT -] It Was an Outrageous One, but It Co Be Taken Out of the Landlord. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean, Two southern planters, one from Alabama and the other from Louisiana, met one day in New Orleans after the war. One, the colonel, had been in the confederate army, but the other, the judge, from some physi- cal disability, had remained at home, end had managed to save a small portion of his fortune from the wreck, enough to live on comfortably in his declining years, but the colonel had lost everything; in fact, was | in straitened: circumstances. The judge greeted his friend warmly, end insisted on the colonel’s dining with him, which in- vitation the latter gladly accepted. Accordingly, after partaking of a few drinks by way of appetizers at the bar in the St. Charles Hotel, they adjourned to a fashionable restaurant. After a prelimi- nary mint julep or so the judge called for the bill of fare, and the waiter quickly complied with his juest, placing befcre that gentleman a mehu with a wine list attached, not printed, but written out nm a very fine hand. The judge and his friend selected certain dishes, and gave a liberal order for wine with every course. The re- past over, the judge and the colonel still tarried, discussing old times before the war, and disposing of bottle after bottle. At last, becoming a little contused in their ideas, they concluded to get a carriage and take a ride along the shell road io the old Spanish fort. The judge, before rising, call- ed to the waiter for the bill. The latter, seeing no preparation for departure,thought he meant the bill of fare, which was ac- cordingly brought. The judge solemnly ad- justed his glasses and commenced to add hee both sides, making a total of over The colonel, who, during this operation, had been nodding off to sleep, was awaken- ed by a loud exclamation from the judge, and on inquiring the reason the latter shouted out in a loud voice: “Extortion, sir! They have charged us $100 for this little sitting. It is outrageous, and I will not submit to it.” The colonel, rising and laying one hand on his breast, said in a ive manner: “There is no doubt, judge, that it is a swindle of the deepest dye. But for all that do not dispute the ac- count. Remember, you are a southern gen- tleman, judge. Pay, the bill, but shoot the landlord.” Of course, when the judge pro- ceeded to settle, everything was satisfac- torily explained, and the judge, colonel, landlord and waiter all “smiled.” ———-+e-_____ At a meeting of the Carroll Institute cyclers, the following officers were elected: President, George Thomas Cox; captain, James F.

There were present about seventy- five gentlemen from all over the world whose names are more or less identified with aerial navigation. At the conference all discussion of flying machines and air- ships was barred out. Only the results of general observations and experiments per- tinent to the subject were admitted. Prof. S. P. Langley of Washington sent an ii teresting paper (which was read by Mr. Curtis, also of Washington) on his obse vations of air currents.
