Witnesses were before the grand jury to- promptly, safely and thoroughly as AYER'S CHERRY | 24¥ !m the case of Dr. Edward Leon, the physician charged with having performed | | an operation on Miss stelle Beach a little | more than a week ago, which resulted in the premature birth and subsequent death of her child. As published in The Star at| the time, the young woman, who is only eighteen years old, lives with her father and brother on 6th street near the river, and in order to prevent what would cause publicity | to her misstep in life she went, so it is! alleged, to the office of Dr. Leon on € street | and there an operation was performed. At) the inquest held the day following the sad in the young woman's career Dr. Leon was held criminally responsible for | the death of the child, and since that time he has been in jail awaiting the action of the grand jury. Since the holding of the inquest the police | have been on the lookout about the house of the young woman, fearing she might he | spirited away when she had sufficiently re-| vered from the result of the alleged crim- | inal operation. | it was hinted that her name might per- | haps figure in the verdict. But her name | Was not included in the findings. Nor Is it believed to be likely that her name will | figure in the indictment. The police have | been keeping watch over her to insure her | attendance at the doctor's trial should tae | grand jury return an indictment. Manslaughter or Murder. | There is some speculation as to how the | grand jury will view the affair and opin- ions differ as to whether they will indict for manslaughter or murder. It was stated | today that in event of an indictment be- | ing returned against the doctor it will charge murder, as under such a charge the | government will be able to get in more | testimony than in an action for man-| slaughter, Should the case come to trial the defense | will attempt to prove an alibi. it is the intention of the district attorney to have the case heard at an eariy day | should the indictment be returned as is expected. —— MR. KENT ON PSYCHIC MATTERS. The Pastor of the People’s Church Corrects Statements Attributed to Him Rev. Alex. Kent, pastor of the People’s, Church, has written to The Star in refer- ence to statements attributed to him in an article in The Star of the 28th ult., contri- buted by a writer not regularly attached to ‘The Star, in reference to physic matters. | “You will permit me, 1 hope, to say, writes Mr. Kent, “that while I had a very pleasant conversation some six or more weeks ago covering some of the points in the article referred to with a gentleman who represented himself as a journallst from Boston, I was in the main a listene The gentleman was altogether too gener- ous in crediting me, as he has done, with good portion of it, indeed, formed no part of our conversation at the time, but the interviewer showed great familiarity with the theme, and, I doubt not, in writing up the subject drew largely on unused mater- jal, But, to be a little more specific, let me say that my chief contribution to the interview was the story touching the young lady whose hand involuntarily wrote letters of great literary excellence purport- ing to come from her departed sister. ‘The family is one of high repute and moves in the best circles. It was a mistake, how ever, to say that I witnessed the writing. I saw the handwriting, but I did not see} the hand doing the writing. All that jol- 1 tonehing the work of the Society for Psychical Research does me too much honor, ‘The writer drew that entirely from his own ‘sublimneal consciousness.’ ‘This perhaps is pardonable, but when he repre- sents me as saying that ‘the society bas made a great many exposures of mediums’ he makes a statement for which he had not a shadow of foundation, and’ does the .¥ ciety and myself great wrong. This is dent enough from the first specification adduced, viz., Madame Blavatsky. This lady passed from earth long before the so- ciety came into being. I am made to say further that ‘investigation of the psychical phenomenon of mediumship (slate writing, furniture moving, and so forth) has been destructive of the claims of all the medi- ums examined,’ a statement utterly with- out warrant from me, and directly opposed to my own conviction. I am also made to cite Mr. Davey as ‘one of our most active investigators,” who ‘himself produced fraudulent slate writing of the highest or- der,’ which all the sitters, except one in }: confidence, regarded as genuine. I have to confess my entire ignorance of Mr. Davey's existence prior to the reading of this ur- ticle. The writer had a right to assume that the president of the Psychic Society was familiar with a matter of such mo- ment to the psychic world, but he went en- tirely too far when he quoted me as 1 dorsing Mr. Davey’s conclusions. And now, a word as to my real position on psychic phenomena. I quite agree with Mr. Thom- son Jay Hudson of this city that many of the most wonderful phenomena attribut- ed to spirits who have left the body are genuine phenomena; that is, they are not fraudulently produced. Mr. Hudson at- tributes them to spirits (subjective minds— see his Law of Psychic Phenomena) still in the body. My conviction is that this ex- pianation does not cover all the known facts. I incline rather to that which spirit- ualists offer as the more satisfactory. But I frankly confess that I do not know, and | am trying as honestly as I know how to find out.” —— CASES NOT PIGEONHOLER, As the Policy Backers Fondly Hoped— There Will Be a Henring on Thursday The Jackson City policy shops as well as the shops at Rosslyn are in full blast, and many poor person are dropping their hard- earned nickels and dimes every day. On the bridges crossing the river are to he seen daily men, women and children said to be! engaged in this business. The police have | made many raids on them, and since the wholesale raid at Jackson City, several months ago, the policy firms have not oper- ated so openly in this city. Many persons have been arrested here from time to time, but every one of them denied any connec- tion with the firms, and for that reason the backers could not be reached. The business has been running along smoothly since the raid mentioned was made, and tHe backers thought the charges against them had been “pigeonholed.” ‘They were resting easy until yesterday, when District Attorney | Birney made known his intention to resur- rect the cases and have a day for trial se- lected. Day after tomorrow is the day set for the hearing of the cases in Judge Mc- Comas’ court, and it is likely that the policy men will endeavor to obtain a con- tinuance. | The parties to be tried are George Gardner | and Charles Beveridge of the firm of Gard- ner & Beveridge, and Mayone Nelson, | Ezekiel Cade and Frank Foster. There are also a numebr of cases pending against writers, many of whom have quit the business. ' These men will not be brought to trial, but those who are suspect- ed of being still in the business will be brought into court, and their cases tried. aaa Real Estate Matters. E. C.

Citizens Describe the Needs of Ten- leytown—Traffic on the Canal— Other Matters of Intere: Among the passengers on one of the canal boats that pulled up at the Aqueduct bridge yesterday were two women who had gotten on at Harper's Ferry, saying they had walked to that place from Winchester. They gave their names as Mary Davis and Lizzie Gentry, and stated to the captain that they were on their way to Rosslyn, Va., where they desired to visit a friend, Ir. Johnson. Before starting across the bridge they stopped in its vicinity on the | Georgetown side to make some purchases. | They soon noticed that they were being closely watched by two young, stoutly built negro men. The frequent stops the women | made, owing to the sickly condition of one | probably first attracted the attention of the | men. Just about nightfall the start from Georgetown was made, and, to the great | uneasiness of the visiting women, they saw | they were being followed closely. All went comparatively well until the dark Virginia | end of the bridge was reached. Then one | of the negroes walked up, caught one of | the women by the arm, and said he had | money for her. She indignantly pushed | him away, and threatened to make an out- cry if he did not immediately get away. ‘This was a signal for both negroes to act, and seizing each a woman, they dragged them to a place near the terminus of the bridge and attempted an assault. The wo- men in the meantime kept up an outcry. | Soon they were rewarded by hearing some | noise of coming ones, and leaping into the | underbrush, made their escape. They were followed by men carrying clubs and pistols, but not overtaken. The women were con- siderably frightened and somewhat roughly used by the men, all of which tended to prostrate them. The police of Georgetown | Were notified of the affair, and the patrol | Wagon was sent for the women. At the, station they told their story. Then they were given a ride on the patrol to their | destination near Rosslyn. The Cattle Market. At the Arlington stock yards yesterday 100 cattle were up and sold as follows: Best, 4c. to 4 1-4c.; good, 3 5-8e. to 3 7-8c.; medium, Be. to 3 1- and common, 2c. to 2 3-4c. In addition to these $9 sheep and lambs were sold. The choice ones went for from 4 1-4e. to 4 3-4c.; the good from 4c. to 4 1-8c., and | the common, from 3c. to 3 3-4. per pound. Fifteen cows and calves went off from $20 to $45. The market for cattle was good, for sheep and lambs dull. The Needs of Tenleytown. 1 There were various meetings in Tenley- town last night and that of the citizens in the public hall somewhat suffered in at- tendance. But little new business was, in consequence, taken up. The reports of the | committees appointed at the last meeting to attend to getting better illuminating fa- cilities, sidewalks, &c., were read. The insufficient police protection the place has Was discussed. It was stated that Lieut. Swindells of the seventh precinct had been approached on the subject, but had said that it would be necessary for Congress to legislate before Tenleytown could be pro- vided with additional police officers. Bur- glaries are of common occurrence in Ten- leytown now. If not regularly appointed officers, Tenleytown, it was said, must have | night watchmen. Her citizens’ need pro- tection, Should a fire break out in the place, total destruction of the immediately affected building would, it was claimed, without | the slightest doubt, low. Possibly and | even probably a good wind would wipe out | the best part of the town. Within her lim- | its is not even a goodly supply of pumps and water buckets, much less an available engine. A hand engine at least is an ur- | gent necessity there. Arrivals and Departures. Laden boats entered town yesterday as follows: No. 115, Capt. Dick; Maryland, | Capt. Collier; No. 118, Capt.

Chauncey Giles, the leader of the New | Jerusalem Society in this country, died at his residence,in west Philadelphia,yesterday. ‘The reputation of Dr. Giles as a writer on | religious topics is world wide, his discourses having been translated into nearly all lan- | | Buages. He was born at Charlemont, Mass., in 1813. Early in life he was a teacher. In / | 1853 he became a clergyman of the Church of the New Jerusalem. For ten years he | preached in Cincinnati, then for fifteen years in New York, after which he became | pastor of the first’ New Jerusalem Society | of Philadelphia.

A Steamship Refused to Surren Passenger to Honduras, NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—The Herald prints the following dispatch from La Libertad, Honduras: Honduras fired upon the American flag this (Monday) morning. By the alleged or- ders of President Vasquez, and by the ex- press command of the commissioner of the port of Amapala, seyen cannon shots were fired after the Pacific mail steamship Costa Rica, flying the stars and stripes, as she steamed away, because she refused to cur- render one of her passengers to the Hon- duras government. United States Minister Baker was on the Costa Rica at the time. The passenger about whom the trouble arose is Policarpo Bonilla, who recently led the revolution in Honduras, but was defeat- ed by Gen. Vasquez. He then fled to Nica- | fagua, and with 300 hundred of his adher- ents Joined the army of President Sacasa, who was engaged in an attempt to quell a Bonilla had decided to leave Nicaragua in order to relieve the govern- ment from all responsibility of harboring him. He, therefore, sailed from Corinto for Guatemala on November 4 on the Costa Rica. American Minister Baker and more than 100 other persons were his fellow passen- | gers. They arrived Sunday morning at Amapala, port of entry of Honduras, on the Pacific coast, and at 2 o'clock in the after- noon Commander of the Port Cillila de- manded that Capt. Dow should surrender Bonilla. When this request was refused a threat Ss made to sink the ship, and it was as- serted that President Vasquez had given Strict orders to that effect. An official protest against the refusal to surrender Bonilla was presented to the captain at 6 o'clock, and clearance papers were issued to the ship after nightfall, When it’ was too dark to leave the harbor with safety. A government officer came on board at 3:30 o'clock yesterday morning and stated that new orders had been received from the president, insisting on the delivery of Bo- nilla or the bombardment of the ship. Capt. Dow replied that the commander of the port would receive his answer in half an hour, but before that time had expired he steamed away. Seven shots were fired after the Casta Rica, although she flew the American flag. None of the shots struck her, however, but it is feared the steamship City of Panama, of the same line, which was lying in the port, may have been injured, because the firing continued for some time after the Costa Rica was out of range. The congress of Honduras has conferred upon President Vasquez full power to make war upon Nicaragua whenever a revolution or an invasion of revolutionists from that republic occurs, —_—>___ THE CORBETT-JACKSON FIGHT. Likely to Come Off Before the Na- tional Sporting Club of Londo “Whether Corbett or Mitchell ever meet or not,” said Manager Brady at Asbury Park yesterday, “Jackson and Corbett will surely come together in the ring next June. We (Corbett and Brady) expect to sail for England about the Ist of April. ‘The N; tional Sporting Club of London has in- | formed me that it will give as large a purse as any other club, and I expect the contest wil] be decided there. Corbett will put in the time between his match with Mitchell and our departure for England on the Troad.”* D HIS NAME, Suicide of a Young Frenchman ia a Chicago Hotel. J. C. Grunberg, thought to be the erring son of some prominent Parisian family, was found dead in bed just before noon yester- day at the Southern Hotel, Chicago. The direct cause of the death was a large quan- uty of morphine which he had taken, though whether accidental or with sulcida! intent is not entirely clear, z Grunberg registered at the hotel Sunday noon as J. C. Roiner of St. Louls. He com- plained of being ill and requested that a room be assigned him immediately, His re- quest being complied with, he was not seen again until found dead yesterday, On the stand were several letters, One of them was addressed to the chief of Police, was signed “Johnny Grunberg” and read as follow “Dear Sir: Please telegraph at once to my residence, one 1 inclose you in the let- ter. The other is Mr. L. Taynenbaum, 6 ssau Street. They will tell You what to my people every year. I cannot write ee 1 feel 1 am dying, as 1 took mor- phine.”” The reference to an inclosure was an ad- dress thought to be that of a brother. 1t was “Adolph Grunberg, diamond merchant, 8 Maiden Lane, New York.” ‘The address was also inclosed in an en- velope, over which was scribbled: “To the chief of police: Call at once the British consul, as 1 was born in Calcutta and should be protected by the English flag. He knows me and I know him.” = Another scrawl was addressed to York papers and police.’ In disconnected and repeated phrases it implored the police to keep the family name out of the papers and called down the blessings of God on whoever would obey the request. The burden of the rest of the writing was that he had been a sore disgrace to his family and did not wish his acts to become known under the family name.

Since the adjournment of Congress the employes of the government printing office have been looking for the usual wholesale reduction of force, and yesterday for a few moments many of the employes thought the reduction was about to be made without the official sanction of the public printer. Workmen were engaged in making repairs to the “death trap,” as the building is call- jed, when the falling of a heavy timber caused an earthquake-sort of feeling about the buiiding. Persons who heard the noise thought of the Ford’s Theater disaster, and some waited patiently to take what they imagined would follow the noise, while jothers became impatient and excited and | wanted to rush out through the nearest opening, not stopping to see whether the opening was a window or door. Fortunately a panic was averted, and there was no injury sustained by any one | in the building. Concerning the anticipated reduction in the force Public Printer Pal- | mer told a Star reporter that there would be no wholesale discharge. Owing to the | adjournment of Congress, he said, it would | become necessary to make a reduction in the Record force, but, he said, the furloughs were to be so arranged that none of the | | force would be out more than # week or | ten days. All the speeches, he stated, had | not been received from the Capitol, and he | supposed there would be about two more | issues of the Record. —_>— HEBREW 101 An Interesting Program fo: son With Varied Features.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Allow me to fully indorse the valuable suggestion of “E. M. S.” in yesterday's |Star on the departmental half holiday. | Yes, God bless the men that proposed the amendment giving the clerical force in the departments an afternoon each week—that 1s, four hours out of each one hundred and | fifty-four—to transact outside business in | regard to their homes and domestic mat- |ters. The majority of them have all the |cares of housekeeping besides being bread | winners for a whole family, themselves | being often the only capable or responsible | member of it, obliged to see to all the items | home life are generally attended to is a | mystery, but can be set down at a shrew | guess as being scrambled through, by ner- _Vous strain or petty deceit. Rents are paid, |agents called on, tradesmen hunted up, | banks visited, doctors consulted by a tre- mendous exercise of ingenuity, if nothing worse. Clerks, male and female, are con- fined to their desks during the universal business hours. They can transact nothing | of the most ordinary kind before 9 or after 4. To give them the Saturday afternoon, | | when every other place is closed, nuliines |entirely the use of those hours. The only | place they could visit would be the Con- gressional —.orary, which is now a dead (letter to all the clerical community. And, ten to one, that would be closed, too, if the | Saturday nau nouday was voted. The only |remedy is to do as they do abroad—alter- |nate the holidays. For instance, museums | | there are open Sundays, but closed Mon- days for cleaning purposes, on the principle hat it deprives no one. Those that could go Mondays can go any other day, and only "one class has the Sunday free. Schools also | have from noon on Thursday. ..us every | branch of the community can enjoy meeting |the other “at their old stands.” Business | and trade having adopted Saturday, give | the clerical branch some other afternoon. Like a drop of oil on a machine, things | Would run so much smoother in ‘the de- | |partmental wheel. Punctuality would be | greater; for having time once a week, no one would try to smuggle an errand in be- | fore office hours, and get late. The chiefs | Would no longer be pestered with requests for petty ieaves of an hour or so here and | there. -cre might be less “sickness” re- | ported, for in a desperate moment a day’ |freedom has sometimes been taken thus. |The “slouch hat” business would cease. | Do you know what that is? Say a clerk | has a note in vank, perhaps a Men on his little home; it must be paid between 10 and 3. He hates to ask again for an hour's | leave, for yesterday the water Pipes burst, and he had to ask for time to hunt upa canada so he has a soft felt hat that | Tolls up into his coat pocket. He goes to the | elevator, rings, asks for the lower floor. He is bareheaded, ostensibly hunting up some other room for office purposes. When | once out of the car he whips out his felt | hat, shakes It, gives it a .Fedcra cut and \claps it on; and there he is, ready to go jout boldly, for the watchmen, of course, take it for granted that he is “on leave. He hustles round town at a nervous double-quick pace, finds or misses peopl | returns breathless to the elevator, touches | the button, and as the car descends, presto, jhe rolls the Fedora back into his inside pocket. If during his absence some one has asked for him, why. of coursé, he is some- | Where in the building, working hard for | Uncle Sam, for lo! is not his Derby hat on | his desk or on the peg behind? Yes, four hours a week would be a boon, but let ft he a practical one. Bv the fact of Saturday afternoon being the half holiday of banks, business and trade, his holiday would he- {come a dead letter. He does not need the time to go to sleep at home or to twirl his thumbs sitting in the parks. He wants jto attend to hie own business, like any other human being. Many clerks would be willing to work one evening from 6 to 10 for the privilece of the use of the same amonnt of time on some week dav Anring business hours. HC.S.

Some days ago the Commissioners direct- ed Harbormaster Sutton to make an tn- Spection of Buzzard’s Point, with a view of locating the garbage factory at that point, if found less objectionable. Mr. Sut- ton submitted his report this afternoon. “nd says that Buzzard’s Point ts but five r six blocks from the present factory and in the immediate vicinity of the Washing- ton barracks. He does not consider a change to this point advisable. He says, further, that he has made a careful inspec- tion along the river front and fails to find any place where this factory can be locat- ed less objectionable than its present site, The Grade of Sheridan Avenue. A delegation of property owners, con- sisting of Messrs. L. M. Saunders, Bushrod Robinson and James L. Barbour, had a hearing before the Commissioners this morning relative to the grading of Sher- man avenue. Capt. Powell explained that the engineer department was aware of the necessity of fixing the grade of Sherman avenue and there was an item of $10,000 in the pending aypropriation bill to do this | work. The delegation expressed itself as thoroughly satisfied with the outlook. A Disputed Gas B Who owes the Gas Company $1.%6? The District repudiates the bill, and thus far, the Gas Company has been unable to lo- rate the respensible parties. The bill is for gas burned at the old police head- quarters during the month of October. When the bill was preset.ted to the District for payment it was not allowed. The District had not used the premises known as the old police headquariers. during the time | for which the bill was presented, and so stated. The Gas Company comes back today with the statement that it presented the bill to the owners of the premises, and they re- fuse to pay them on the ground that the Commissioners gave them no notice of nav- ing vacated the premises, and did not au- thorize them to have the gas cut off. The 3 Company further stated that it had received no notice of the District vacating the building nor any order to discontinue the gas and therefore thinks thet the Dis- trict is properly chargeable with the bill. Improvements Needed. The following recommendations were made by the health officer today: “To pave alley in square between G and Mth and 12th streets southeast. That | Sewer facilities be provided for houses tn | Scott avenue. He does think the paving of alley in square 555 necessary for public health. All of these improvements he states are for the public good.” Mr. Collins’ Halloween Compl Several days ago The Star referred to the ccmplaint made ta the Commissioners by Mr. Fred W. Collins of 134 T street north- ‘west to the effect that a crowd of boys while celebrating All Halloween had dis- figured his house and broken his carriage stoop to the extent of $100, and asking what he should do to reimburse himself for the damage sustained, as it seemed to him he was entitled to reimbursement. as he had suffered through a lack of police pro- tection. The letter was referred to the chief of Police, and he in turn sent it to Lieut. Gessford for report. The Heutenant says that efter a careful investigation tt ap- pears that the damage amounts to not more than $, and was caused by the son of the complainant throwing a stone into a crowd of boys, who were celebrating the night in the vicinity of the house, This action on the part of young Collins so enraged the boys, the lieutenant says, that they re- taliated and threw stones, which did cause some damage. Orders Made Today. The Commissioners today ordered: That a fire hydrant be erected at the cor- ner of 29th and N streets northwest. That a sewer in the east side of 4 1-2 street southwest between I and K be added to the schedule of sewers to be built under the appropriation for replacing sewers in 1894. That a sewer in the east alley of square 592 between K and L streets be added to the provisional schedule of sewers to be built, under the appropriation for main and pipes sewers, 18%. That Sherman avenue from Spring road to 7th street be closed to traffic during the construction of a main sewer on said ave- nue. Resolutions of thanks passed at a recent meeting of the East Washington Citizens’ Association were submitted to the Commis- sioners today for the improvements made to the James Creek canal. The excise board has been requested to remove the name of Victor Anderson from the application of John Hayes, 101 Pennsyk vania avenue northwest, for a retail liquor license at that place. Dvring the month of September the re- ceigts of the Eastern market from rent of | stalls was $289.50. The Commissioners this afternoon sus- pended the license of Frederick Tilp, regis- tered plumber, until the expense incident to uncovering the work in the rear of premises 2228 llth street northwest has beep paid. ——< THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES. A Year in Which Mach Work of Re- jef Was Accomplished. The annual meeting of the Associated | Charities will take place tonight at the general headquarters, at §11 G street north- west. Since the last meeting of the board of managers, December 16, 1892, the society has experienced one of the most successful years in its history. Last winter was a hard winter and 6,250 calls were made at the central office for help, the larger portion of which were from colored people. The first part of the win- ter was mild, but in the latter part of De- cember the weather became very cold, many people were thrown out of work and dependent on charity for their support. It was then that the demands increased and ran up at the central office as high as five hundred in one day. Many of the subdivisions which had been established were entirely overwhelmed and unable to meet the demands made upon them. The secretary, Mr. Emery, then sent out visitors over the city, each to make a can- vass of a certain district and ascertain how many of the applicants for charit; were worthy and many cases were foun where assistance was Unnecessary, healthy washerwomen having dropped their work in the hope of living on alms. Such per- sons were advised in strong terms to go vethe ‘work was begun in the fall without any funds whatsoever, but so well did the newspapers represent the situation, and so generously did the people respond that the association was able to help the most of the needy throughout the city. And just (in the nick of time The Evening Star : as Club came to the rescue and Lengerel great relief to the children of destitute families in a very practical way. ‘The secretary of the association says that never before in the history of charitable work in the District has so much been done for the immediate relief of the poor, and during his twenty-seven years’ experi- ence there has never been a greater demand for it than during last winter. Protestants, Catholics and Hebrews alike contributed in money and supplies, and four times as much was received and expended last year ever before in the twelve previous: years of the association's existence. The te finished without a debt, and plans for the new campaign will be discussed tonight, when all the reports will be made in full, and the officers wilh be elected for the coming year.
