12 THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 1894—-TWELVE PAGES. THE YEAR AT HOME. > (Continued from Ninth Page.) change of policy in the management of the office. The new superintendent did not approve the plans of Mr. Warner for establishing a board of charities and mak- ing the superintendent secretary of the | board. In May the board of children’s | guardians ‘provided for by Congress was ; organized and began its work. A portion of the money which had previousiy been granted each year to institutions in the citv having the care of children was placed by Congress at the disposal of the board of children’s guardians, to be expended at their discretion in providing for children coming under their care. This arrangement had been advocated by the late superin- tendent of charities, but the new superin- it has protested against it, and asks that the child-caring institutions be granted in full the same amount as formerly ap- propriate. to“them, and that a separate and independent appropriation be made for the use of the children’s guardians, based on the expenditures it has made dur- ! ing the three monthe of its existence. The ; Lutheran Home for the Aged.on the Queen's | Chapel road, was erected during the year. | Several individual acts of philanthropy | were recorded during the year, ene of the most notable being the furnishing of a/ ward in the Hospital for Incurables by Mr. S. W. Woodward for the special benefit of cancerous patients. ‘The demands on the general charity of the, community by reason of the stress of hard times, many who have always been able to sustain themseives having been | reduced to poverty by lack of employment, | have been very great, and have met a gen- erous se. The Commissioners, in or- der to relieve the prevailing distress, so far as possible,have urged Congress to make | an appropriation immediately available for grading and improvement of suburban; streets and roads, believing that this money | expended at the present time would greatly reduce the number of those in need by furnishing employment. No action has been taken yet by Congress. As the holidays approached the reports of distress among the poor of the city so stirred the people | of Washington that several movements | were started to raise funds for relief. ‘Tne Evening Star Santa Claus Club, composed mainly of school children, repeated itp) good work of last year, and raised, chieft; by dime contributions, a fund of over 32,000, to be applied to relief work., This | money has been expended in relief work during the holiday week. A public meet- ing was called by the Commissioners early in December, and the result was the fer- mation of a central relief committee, which is now engaged in raising funds and of systematizing the work of relief. A large contribution to the cause of charity was made as the result of 2 concert given inj} the Convention Hall December 2) by the | Marine Band for the benefit of the poor. Nearly $4,000 was netted, and this fund has been turned over to the Commissioners | to be expended by the police in helping tne poor. Steam Ratlronds. Little change has been effected during the year in the condition in which the steam railway question in Washington ts involved. ‘The grade crossings still exist, and the mea- sures proposed in Congress providing for the substitution of some better system ‘have not made much progress. The so-called McMil- lan bill, which provided for the passage of the Pennsylvania railroad track through South Washington at a grade depressed be- | jow that of the streets, was under public discussion and made the subject of a number! of official reports. The War Department engineers insisted that a new structure in place of che old Long bridge was necessary. No action has been taken on the bili in Con- gress. A bill is pending providing for the entrance of the Baltimore and Ohio tracks into the city by means of an elevated via- duct extending from a point near Ecking- ton, where it is proposed to have the two branches of the road meet, to the present railway station at New Jersey avenue and C street. Several fatal accidents during the year, due to the existence of grade cross- ings and insufficient precautions taken at/ such cressings, have served to excite public feeling and to keep up the clamor for some improvement and some regard for the lives of citizens. ‘The work on what is known as the South- ern Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio road, which will enter the District | above Georgetown, has been suspended temporarily under the general policy of railroads during a season of hard times not | to expend their resources on new construc- s. ‘The Ford's Theater Disaster. A disaster that startled the nation and caused the greatest excitement and grief im this city occurred June 9% Two floors of the old Ford’s Theater building on 10th street, crowded at the time with the clerks of the records and pension division of the War Department, fell without warning. ‘Twenty-three persons were killed and nearly @ hundred injured, some of them almost completely disabled. The coroner’s inquest following the disaster, was attended by a number of exciting scenes. The inquest was commenced by Deputy Coroner Schaeffer, but before it was completed it was declared to be illegal, because the law recognized no such officer as the deputy coroner. While the proceedings under Deputy Coroner Schaeffer were in progress, a demonstration was made in the room where the inquest was held against Col. F. C. Ainsworth, the chief of the records and pension division, who was popularly held responsible for the terrible disaster. Many of the clerks and some of the relatives of those who had been killed in the building were present in the room and at one point in the proceedings a cry having been raised “hang him,’ the feeling of the spectators was raised to the highest pitch, and it was only through the | exertion of the cool-headed ones Present | that violence was prevented. The inquest | resulted in holding Coi. Ainsworth, the chief } of the division, Mr. Dant, the contractor for the work which was then going on beneath the building, Mr. Covert and Mr. Sasse, who Were in charge of the buiiding and the work in progress, responsible for the deaths. In- vestigation showed that a cellar was being excavated underneath the building for the accommodation of a_new electric lighting and heating plant. The excavation under- mined a brick pier which supported the! floors above. An indictment was reported against the} persons named above June 19, cha-ging | them with manslaughter, and to this indict- | ment al! plead not guilty July 28. A de- murrer to the indictment was overruled by | the Criminal Court.but taken at once to the! Court of Appeals, where early in December | it was sustained, it being held that the/ charges were not set forth with sufficient | clearness. The district attorney has an- nonnced his purpose of securing a new in-| dictment. The helpless condition in which | many families were left by the disaste- ap-| pealed strongly to the charitable impulse of | the citizens of Wgshington. A relief com-! mittee was formed at once, and in a short time a sum amounting to about $30,000 was | raised, and thus provision was made for the | burial of the dead and for caring for thos who were rendered for the time destitute. The Rock Creek Park. The legal controversies over the Rock /| Creek Park were settled in January by a decision of the United States Supreme) Court, affirming in every particular the de- cision of the Supreme Court of the District ! and removing all the obstacles that had! been placed in the way of finally complet-| ing the purchase of the park. In May the! Rock Creek Park commission obtained the approval of the President to expending the balance of the appropriation in their hands, and were enabled to secure land which will make the pa-k extend to the District line. The affairs of the commission are now be-! ing settled up, and soon the park will be turned over to the permanent park com- mission. The Liquor Question. The agitation of the liquor license question | was in full progress at the opening of the year. The discove-y that the old liquor law | ‘was practically inoperative had impressed wfficials and citizens with the necessity for quickly providing for some effective statute | to regulate the sale of liquor i the District. | Many hearings were held by the District. Commissioners and also by the committee | in Congress, and several bills were intro- duced in Congress. A new law was enacted | and finally approved in March. An anti-sa- loon league, an organization composed of | many of the most active temperance wo-k- ers in the city, was organized in June, and has since devoted itself to the work of pre- venting the increase of the number of loons in the District, by opposing applica-| tions made for licenses. An interesting legal question was raised soon after the new liquor law went into effect as to whether saloon keepers whp had obtained licenses | under the old law could continue their busi-! fess under the old licenses until the ex-| Piration of the license year. A test case, | known as the Bush case, was taken into| court. and the decision was in favor of the lquo-> dealers, the court holding that the | old licenses would have to be respected un-| til their term expired. ‘The Convention City. Washington has maintained its reputation @uring the ycar as the chief place for hold-! | Mr. B. H. Warner was elec | the board upon the retirement from that of- ing the conventions and meetings of great national bodies. One of the most important gatherings of the year was the general as- sembly of the Presbyterian church, which met here in May. Many other church con- ferences have been held here. Among the conventions and annual meetings of the year have been the following: The National American Woman's Suffrage Association; convention of the promoters of the Great Lake Canal; annual meet- ing of board of Indian com- onal League for Good Roads; the National Board of Trade; the American Association of Inventors and Manufacturers; Daughters of the American Revolution; The Mexican veterans; the Bi- metallic League; the Woman's Foreign Mis- sion Society of the Presbyterian Church; the southern fire underwriters’ convention, the Unitarian conference, the Universalist general convention and National Associa- tion of Methodist Episcopal Local Preach- ers, The Inauguration. One of the duties the citizens of Wash- ington were called upon to perform early in the year was that of arranging and carry- ing out plans for the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland as President of the United States. More than ordinary success attended the ef- forts of the citizens, directed by a gcneral ecmmittee, of which Col. James G. Berret was chairman and an energetic executive committee, headed by Mr. James L. Norris. Citizens contributed iiberaliy to the guaran- tee fund, and the finances were weil man- aged. Unfortunately, inauguration day was one of the most disagreeable of the year, and the severity of the weather detracted considerably from the inaugural display. As usual, a grand ball was given at night in the court of the pension building. The Board of Trade. The board of trade has held several meet-. ings during the year, and its committee have been active in urging before Congress @ number of measures regarded as benefic- ial to the District. One of the measures most strenuously urged was the bill to ad- mit to the District the proposed extension of the Norfork and Western railroad, which was opposed by the representatives of the Pennsylvania railroad. In February the board of trade entertained at its annua) banquet a company of distinguished men. ‘ted president of lice of Mr. Myron M. Parker, who resigned it whea he accepted the oftice of District Commissioner, ‘The National Guard. The history of the National Guard during the year has been one of interest and ad- vance. Several new organizations were mus- ‘tered in during the year, and the spirit of the guard has been of the same progres- | Sive character that has marked former years. During the summer several of the or- ganizations, at their own expense, went into camps of instruction at different points, fo appropriation being available for a gen- eral encampment. A rifle team, selected from the guard, took part in the interstate contest at Sea Girt in August, and carried off the chief honors of the contest, bring- ing home the Hilton trophy, the interstate trophy, and other prizes. The Emmett Guard won a handsome trophy at the prize drill at Newark, N. J., on the Fourth of July. Inspections have been kept up during the year, and the condition of the National Guard at the close of the year is gratify- | ing. An incident of the year was a rict drill on Thanksgiving day, in which the first and second regiments took part, and which demonstrated the efficiency of the National Guard for emergency purpeses. The River. Early in the year navigation on the Poto- mac was closed for several weeks by the freezing of the river. Much apprehension was felt because of the danger of damage from a flood. Toward the end of January the Commissioners arranged for tugs to break up the ice and to remove the danger | that threatened the city. An ice fleet from Baltimore entered the Potomac and plough- ed a channel through the ice to the city. | Soon the harbor was clear, and whatever | danger existed was averted. ‘The freezing of the river was more extensive than has been known before for forty years. People cross- ed on the ice from Washington to Alexan- dria. There was little worthy of record in the history of the Potomac river during the year. Several steamers were engaged con- sStantiy in the summer excursion business; the regular lines of river steamers were well patronized. The fishing season was not so successful as usual. A collision between the steamers Wakefield and Randall, which for- tunately resulted in little damage, was the subject of investigation by the steamboat inspectors in July, and the pilots, who were held to be at fault, were punisned by sus- pension. Many Good Dinners. Washington, as usual, has had its share of festive occasions. It has long been famous as a place for good dinners. A long list might be given of banquets held by dif- ferent organizations and to celebrate dif- ferent events. Besides these, many semi- public dinners were given in honor of in- dividuals. Among the notable banqucts of the year have been those of the Washington society of Psi Upsilon, the dinner given by the Society of American Authors to Mr. Will Carleton, the banquet of the Jackson Democratic Association, those of the Loyal Legion, the Bowdoin Alumni, the Columbian Alumni, the master plumbers, the Press Club, the Gridiron Club, ihe Single Tax Club, the Washington Florists’ ¢ » the Alumni of the University of Pennsy!vania, the Alumni of Washington and Jefferson College and the Washington board of trade. | In May many of the prominent business men and bankers of Washington assembled at a dinner given in honor of Controller Eckles by the Washington Loan and Trust Company. Distinguished Visitors. Among the guests of Washington during the year have been several of especial dis-| tinction. The Princess Kaiulani of Hawaii and Prince David visited Washington in March. In May the Spanish Infanta Kulalie and her party were the guests of the United States in this elty for several ds honor. His royal highness, the Kajah Raja- gan, was here in July. The Grand Duke Alexander of Russia also sojourned in this city a few days in May, and a brilliant re- ception was given in his honor by Senator Brice. Dr. Carl Peters, the famous German lorer of Africa, spent some Washington, as did many other distin- guished foreigners who came to America to visit the werld’s fair. Celebrations, All of the anniversaries usually celebrated in this District have been appropriately ob- served. The national holidays witne: much patriotic enthusiasm as in a: mer years. Emancipation d; brated by the colored citizens of t trict with a parade and a public meeting in Lincoin Park. The citizens of the Distric and Congress united on the 17th of Septem. ber in an appropriate ceiebration of the sed a: ny for- | centennial of the laying of the corner stone of the United States Capitol. There was a parade, in which the military of Washing- m, the patriotic societies and 2 number or siting organizations took part, and which went over the route followed by the proces- sion in which President W ashington march- ed a hundred 5 before. A stand was erected at the east front of the Capitol and from this stand a large gathering listened to addresses by President ( land, Vice President Stevenson, Speaker Crisp, Justice Brown of the Supreme Court and District Commissioner Myron M. Parker, oration by William Wirt He: The Marine Band and a members, organized for the part in the musical exercis: Newspa» . Few changes have occurred during the year among the newspapers of the city. It has witnessed the birth of a new morning paper, a daily issue of the old Sunday Her- ald, and it has seen the Post settled in its handsome new bullding. It has seen The Star continue to grow in influence and cir- culation, the steady progress which has marked all its history having been main- tained through 18% y of Virginia. orus of 1,000 purpose, took res. During the past year the fire department has had 582 calls, of which fifty-four were false alarms, thus leaving the number of | fires which have taken place in the District since january 1, 1898, up to December 31, 1898, at The largest number of fires in any one month occurred in February. when sixty-four were reported. The amount of damage done by fire dur- ing the past year is estimated at $220,474, while the month in which the most prop- erty was de: oyed was February, when it is estimated that $ went up in smoke. The number of destructive fires during the year has been small, as in the majority of | cases the fire has been quickly brought un- der control, and no great amount of dam- age sustained. Amon the biggest fires ys, and aj number of entertainments were given in her | | bis-| A. L. |F. \ and an| © | | | | | | D. | Wm. B. were those at Guy & Curran’s stores and Miller’s paint establishment on 9th street, the garbage factory at the foot of South Capitol street and the conflagration at Ta- koma Park last Friday morning. Real Estate Market. There was considerable activity in the real estate market at the opening of the year. Building was going on, and there was quite a demand for property. The lat- ter was stimulated to some extent by the development of railroad enterprises and the Projection of new ones. The change in the administration, as is apt to be the case, tended to make the market for investment quiet. The revision of the assessment of property, which was in progress during the first half of the year, was a help to the tax- payers, although by many it was thought that the valuations were still too high. As the influence of the financial depression ex- tended throughout the country the money market here began to tighten, and opera- tions in real estate came practically to a standstill. Although the recovery has been slow, and there has been during the clos- ing months of the year really no market for real estate, yet prices remained firm and values were not pulled down by forced sales and other influences which prevail in a time of continued dullness. In fact, there has been no liquidation in the real estate mar- ket here. Building. $2,697,764 represents the total amount of money spent in private building in the District during the past year, against $8,- "7,170 in 1892. Of this sum $1,218,501 was expended in the northwest portion of the city; $767,600 in the northeast; $412,913 in the southeast, and $298,750 in the south- weet. This is the story which the building books at the office of the District building inspector tell. The total number of per- mits issued was 550, of which 283 were is- sued for buildings in the northwest, 121 for buildings in the northeast, 74 for build- ings in the southeast and 72 for buildings in the southwest. The permit issued during the year in- volving the greatest amount of money was that issued to the Corcoran Art Gallery in October for their new building, the cost of which was estimated at $400,000. This building is in the northwest. In the north- east the permit involving the most money was drawn out only last week by Mr. J. C, Jones for the erection of eleven brick houses on the corner of Maryland avenue and A street at a cost of $44,000. The largest permit in amount of money issued for the southeast section of the city was entered in the name of Father J. B. Mathews, for the erection of the new Cath- olic Church on the corner of 13th and C streets, while the biggest thing in South- west Washington was the permit for the erection of the row of houses by Mr. W. P. Vandegrift at a cost of $25,000. The effect of the financial stringency was in nothing more marked in Washington than in the cessation of building operations. It is be- lieved, however, that the coming season will witness a revi of: building activity. Sports and Athletics, Perhaps more than usual interest was manifested In athletics and sports during the year—base ball, rowing, foot ball, bicy- cling and horse racing each receiving con- siderable time and attention from their respective devotees and admirers. The Washington base ball club, inaugurating the season with the customary rosy-hued predictions of success, gradually but surely secured the position which fate for many years has awarded the local team in the race and again clinched ‘its hold on the ttle of “tailenders.” The local jockey club held both a spring and fall meeting, the first barely paying expenses and the second proving a great financial success. A win- ter race meeting was inaugurated at the Ivy City track in February, lasting but a few days, closing before the authorities took action to prevent tt. While there was not so great an activity noticed in boating as that of past years a successful rowing, regatta under the auspices of the local clubs was held during the summer. The interest taken in foot ball developed an unusually large number of teams through- out the District, the last game of the sea- son being played on Christmas day. The Columbia Athietic Club team won the Dis- trict championship, defzating the George- town University team in the deciding game on Thanksgiving day. New athletic clubs were organized during the year, placing the city well abreast of the times in such matters. Winter Racing. ‘The invasion of the city by the race track managers who had been expelled from New Jersey by laws enacted there in response to public sentiment caused considerable alarm to those who take an interest in the morals of the city. The prospect of win- ter racing here was not an agreeable one and The Star early called attention to the danger which threatened the community by the influx of the irresponsible charac- ters who gather around such institution: The police were quick to act on the sug- gestion. again early in December. The district at- torney and other officials took such -steps as they could to prevent’ the success of the plans of the race managers. It was held that the Commissioners could not refuse 8 | license to the managers to run races, but they, however, withheld a license to sell liquor on the grounds. Several of the book- makers engaged at the track were arrested, charged with violating the gambling laws of the District, and the races were imme- diately suspended. Indictments have been reported against these bookmakers and against Engeman, the lessee of the track, under the general gambling laws of the District. These measures, it is hoped, have put an end to the danger that threatened the capital of having winter racing num- bered among its permanent institutions. Sel Waiting. The eyes of the District democracy have been turned wistfully toward the White House during nearly the whole year, but the President has not taken up for settle ment the matter of appointments to the several good offices in the District at his disposal. So the public officers appointed by President the public. Washington Inventors. The total number of patents issued to Washington inventors during ‘the year was 204. On the basis of the census of 1890 this is one patented invention to each 1,129 of the population. doined the Great Majority. Death removed a number of prominent residents and citizens during the year. January «-Secretary of State James @. Blaine, after a long illness, died. Justice Lucius Q. C.

Winter racing was inaugurated | Harrison continue to serve | Olivia Bean Van | Mrs. | WHILE CRAZED BY GRIP Prof. Shortlidge Shoots His Wife try Road Nenr Media, Pa. Swithin C. Shortlidge, principal of Short- lidge’s Academy for Young Men at Media, Pa., while insane from grip, yesterday morning shot and killed his wife instantly while walking with her in a country road rear the school. He has been arrested and is now raving in a cell of the county jail. On November 15 last Prof. Shortlidge married, his second wife being Miss Marie Dixon Jones, a young and pretty instruc- tor at Wilson College at Chambersburg, Pa. Miss Jones was well known in society at Media, her brother being the rector of Christ Protestant Episcopal Church, and her mother is Dr. Mary Dixon Jones, a well-known practicing physician of Brook- lyn, N. Y. Although Prof. Shortlidge is fifty-five and his wife was twenty-seven, their married life gave every promise of being happy and congenial. Prof. Short- lidge had been ill for some time prior to his marriage, but until the 14th of the present month, when he was attacked with grip, his illness was not serious. Since he has had the grip, however, Prof. Shortlidge had given many indications of being mentally affected, and his family had watched him closely. Saturday night he got out of bed and insisted upon taking a walk, and sooner than let him go alone his wife accompanied him. It is supposed that the same notion suddenly possessed him yesterday morning about 9:30, and that his wife again went with him. That the walk was hurriedly decided upon was shown by the fact that both Prof. Short- lidge and Mrs. Shortlidge had their night clothes on under their other garments. What words or incident led up to the terrible tragedy is not known. Several ple met the professor and Mrs. Short- sauntering down a road near the school and spoke to them, but the sound | of the revolver shots on the clear air was the first intimation that any person near by had of the unfortunate man’s crime. Attracted by the shots, several men ran toward the spot in the dirty, snow-tinged mud of the road, where lay the bodies of rrof. Shortlidge and his wife. The former was stretched across the body of his wife, moaning: “Marie! Marie! Speak to me; speak to me! What have I done? What have I done? A dark red stream of blood was flowing from beneath Mrs. Shortlidge’s head and forming a horrible pool in the muddy road Close beside the pair was a revolver. The men raised the professor from the body of his wife, and then they found that she was dead, the whole back of her head being crushed in by the bullets that had entered it. A large crowd had collected by this time, and among the persons attracted to the spot was Mrs. Shortlidge’s mother. When told what had happened she nearly fainted and alternately bemoaned her daughter's fate and assailed her murderer. With the superstition that generally pre- vails that a body must not be touched un- til viewed by the coroner, Mrs. Shortlidge’s body was allowed to lie in the wet, muddy road where it had fallen, while some one hunted up Coroner Quinly. Coroner Quinly appeared in about half an hour and direct- ed that the body be removed, and the rav- ing maniac who had done the awful work was taken in a passing wagon to the coun- ty jail. Since his confinement there Prof. Shortlidge has had lucid intervals, but he then realizes that he had shot his wife, although he does not know she is dead, und the thought unbalances his mind and he begins to rave ROUGH WEATHER AT SEA. The Experience of Thorne W Over on the Rhyn The Red Star line steamer Rhynland, | which arrived at New York early yesterday | morning, four days overdue, brought a sto- ry of storm and havoc at sea such as the big liners rarely experience. Came de bright, but the wind blew a gale from the southwest by west and the seas made the big iron steamer tremble and pitch. At midnight she was about longitude 17 w. and latitude 52 n. On the bridge were Capt. | Mills, Chief Officer Dobson and Third Offi- cer Kroger. Second Officer Kenny was in charge of the first watch, which at the time was engaged in putting the heavy storm docrs over the companionway en- trance. The second watch had been called and was on the point of relieving the first when a cry came from the bridge: “Look out for a wave." There was a thundering noise, a crashing of timbers and the steamer shook from stem to stern, staggecing under thousands of tons of water. A wave not less than thirty- five feet high met her, head on, and swept the entire length of her decks,reaching way up over the bridge. When it had passed the decks were nearly deserted. .Of the twenty- seven men of the two watches hardly one was in sight. ‘The officers on the bridge, at least thirty feet above the water, had seen the coming avalanche of water and catching hold of the rail were able to resist the force of the crest. Though passing beyond them it de- moiished a net railing on top of the com- panionway roof. The seamen and petty officers cn the promenade deck were less fortunate. They we-e swept along ss feath- rs and were dropped on various parts of the deck aft. Quartermaster Theodore Verzy had been Swept over the chocks of the port boats and but for the rigging would have gone over- board. He was found below on the main deck with a severe wound in the neck. A heavy storm door was carried aft and the companionway to the main saloon flooded. The steel raft on the port side forward was gone and the tron stanchions suppo-ting it were twisted off and washed aft. No. 2 lifeboat on the port side was carried away and the iron guard rail of the promenade deck was whipped up from its holdings fo> a distance of 180 feet and swept overboard. The officers and the few men who were able to pick themselves up started in search of the other men. They found the men in various portions of the vessel, some of them unconscious. The ship's surgeon was serious injury. The carpenter, O. Castelyn, ; had his left thigh fractured. He had been picked up by the wave as the quartermas- ter had been, and was sw against the forward pcrt shrouds, to hich he had clung. Seraphim Corsewyn, a boy of six- teen, had his left leg broken in two places, have a fractured thigh. The others were badly shaken up and bruised. =" vs eee CAUSED BY A DRUNKEN FATHER. Family of Four Perished in an Omaha Cottage Fire, j) A fire in a cottage owned by John Cum- | mings, at 515 South 11th street, Omaha, | Neb., at about yest y morning, re- sultel in four fatalities, The quickly extinguished by the department, | and four bodies were discovered huddled to- gether in the corner of the bed room. They wife, one child three years old and Mrs. Margaret Fox, mother of Mrs. Cummings. The story of the fire, as related by Tom- mie Fox, grandchild of Margaret Fox, is a in the bed room adjoining the sitting room, in which the family were seated at the time. The child was with the father. Tom- mie Fox said the mother, who was reading | book, rose from beside the stove and went in the room. Cummings overturned ' the lamp, which was standing on the center | table, and the house immetiately took tire.

Accoriing to the story of the boy, he en- deavored to open the door and release those in the burning room, but in vain. When the fire burst into the room in which he was, he was driven into the street. Cummings was a heavy drinker, and had been suffering from excessive drinking for some time. It is supposed that he had an attack of delirium tremens and was in an insane state when he committed the awful deed. The damage done to the house was slight, the fire scarcely getting beyond the room where the tragedy occurred. The bed and other furniture were consumed. All day crowds thronged the morgue, eager to satisfy their morbid curiosity by a view of the remains, The crush became so great that the officers finally denied ad- mission to all.

No | CRISIS IN GERMANY. Divisions in the Ministry and Hostile Coalition in the Reichstag. A United Press copyrighted special from Berlin says: The government's first encounter with the conservative-clerical coalition will take Place on the issue of the extraordinary marine credits. It is an entirely new feature of the conservative policy that the party is willing to make an open and gen- eral fight against emperor and ministry. The newspaper organs of the government, notably the Norddeutsche Aligeneine Zei- tung (North German Gazette) either deny that discord ever existed between Chan- cellor Caprivi and Finance Minister Mi- quel, or contend that if such discord existed it has been peared ~ 4 , ‘ya = pact, according to whic! iquel sul | mitted and Caprivi has triumphed along the whole line. With this compact as a_premise the offi- cial theory is that the cflancellor has as- sured the passage of the military and naval extra credits and of the Russian com- mercial treaty, in other words, all that he wants from the reichstag. The defect in this theory is that there is in it no recognition of the strength of the con- servative opposition. What adds to the complexity of the sit- uation is the dubious attitude of Miquel. His assent to the tactics of the emperor and Caprivi was wrung from him and whatever his official may say there is still a dormant feud in the ministry, the chancellor with War Minister Bronsart von Schellendorff facing Miquel and Count Bothozu Eulenburg, both of whom will rejoice to see the reichstag give a vote ad- | Verse to the chancellor’s projects. The differences between the ministers re- main, despite the emperor’s intervention, and the crisis is becoming publicly acute. The first check received by Caprivi's policy in the reichstag will be the signal for a general election. The chancellor has al- ready the emperor's orders to dissolve the reichstag in case of adverse action on the army and navy credits or the Russian commercial treaty. — MILLS RESUMING. Brighter Prospects for Many Work- ingmen in Philadelphia. A number of the mill owners in Philadel- phia made a pleasant New Year gift to their operatives by the announcement of a resumption of work today and Tuesday. Among those who have issued this notice are: Kensington—Samuel White, ingrain carpets and Smyrna rugs, 150 hands, full time; Dornan Bros., carpet weavers, 300 hands, full time; C. H. Maslin & Sons, full time, 10 per cent reduction in wages; James Gay & Sons,! ingrain carpets, full time, 10 per cent reduction in wages; Judge Broth- ers, full time, 300 hands, 10 per cent reduc- tion in wages. Manayunk—Randolph & Jinks, 60 hands, full time, no reduction; ; Stafford & Co., one-half the weaving de- j partment; Laville, Schofield & Co., full time; J. & J. Dobson, several departments, 10 per cent reduction on all employes aver- aging $8 per week and under and 15 per cent on all over $8 per week. Some of the stoppages were on account of strikes, now settled. The Sligo iron mill on the South Side at Pittsburg, will resume operations, double turn, on Tuesday. Eight hundred men will be employed. Oliver & Roberts’ wire and rod mill at Pittsburg will start up on Wednesday, run- ning double turn, for the first time since the summer shut down. The lth street mill of the Oliver Iron and Steel Company at Pittsburg will re- sume on Tuesday double turn. ‘The mills of Dilworth, Porter & Co. and . M. Byers & Co. at Pittsburg, which j have been in partial operation, will also resume in full on Tuesday. A conservative estimate of the number of men that will be | employed in these mills places the nuraber 000, | “With the beginning of the new year oper- ations will partially be resumed in several of the jarge knitting mills at Amsterdam, “.Y. From six to eight hundred hands will be set to work. The outlook for im- | provement in business in Amsterdam is growing brighter. King, Hart & Co., shoe manufacturers, of Tarrytown, N. Y., will reopen their fac- tory on January 15. This will give employ- ment to about 400 hands and will mark the return of prosperity to the village, as all the other factories are now in active operation. | “Carrie furnace No. 2 at Keating station, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which has been idle almost a year, will be put in last, giving employment to 200 workmen.
