Bond, a resident of Woodley | Park, met with a series of misfortunes when he drove to the city Saturday night to make some purchases at stores and get his marketing for Sunday. When he reach- ed the city he drove to the K street mar- ket, and then he discovered that he had not brought his market basket with him. Going in the market, he purchased a new basket, and then filled it with the delicacies \ of the season. Leaving the market, he got in his buggy and started to the house of his friend, Mr. J. M. Jackson, D street northwest, whip had beeu stolen. His horse needed | No urging, and so he did not take the trou- ble to purchase a new whip. In a few min- utes he reached the house of Mr. Jackson, some thief to walk off with his basket of marketing. The next time he drove off he went to a 7th street shoe store, Mr. Jackson going with him. There he purchased shoes for his boys, and then he made another visit to the market, where he purchased another supply of catables for Sunday. It was then nearly 11 o'clock, and before go- to Johnson's Hotel and get a lunch. When the hotel was reached the horse was secure- the police patrol box, and it was supposed that no thief would trouble the outfit there hotel his horse and buggy had disappeared. The Property Recovered. Complaint was made to the Police and offering a reward for the return of «the stolen outfit. At the same time Mr. Bond made a newspaper advertisement of his loss and Mr. Jackson went out to make some inquiries concerning the missing team. Information was received from ex- Sheriff Scaggs of Prince George's county in the vicinity of Chariton Heights, and this information led to th recovery of the horse and buggy as well as the provisions, “though considerable damage had been lone to both the vehicle and the provisions. The disabled vehicle had been left on the the horse had also been left, but the ani- mal broke away from a tree to which it had been tied and was found Sunday morn- ing eating crow foot on the place of Mr. Biddle. Mr. Jackson went out in the county yes- terday and got the stolen property. One wheel of the buggy was broken, butter was | smeared over the floor of the vehicle, where it had been under the feet of its occupants, and there was also evidence of the occu- juor. The horse had been driven almost to death over the rough and muddy road. probably live in the county, drove off home with the horse. Mr. Jackson thinks that the man who did the driving w: colored because he had kept one foot out of the vehicle and disfigured the side bars. An effort is being made to ascertain the whereabouts of the men who the e. ——_—_ Rather a Tough Experience. Today Justice Cox, in Equity Court 1, made a decree of divorce in the case of Janet Lowe against James Walter Lowe. The bill, filed by Mr. T. A. Lambert, states that they were married at Rockville, Md., October 17, 1888, she being the widow of James H. Ritchie, with two children, and having been engaged as a dressmaker at 510 10th street northwest, and she charged him with drinking to excess, ill-treatment, interfering with her roomers till she had to remove. After stating that she again re- sumed the business of dressmaking and he broke her up, she states that, on January 1, 1891, she secured the position of matron of the Washington Asylum and procured him @ position as watchman, but he assaulted her then and on July 1, 1891, deserted her. —— Grand Jury Indictments. The grand jury today returned indict- Ments to Justice McComas against the fol- lowing: William Bryant, George Raymond, George Shields and Edward Butcher, larceny; Wm. Belt, alias Jones, petit larceny, second of- fense; John Biddle, housebreaking; Stephen Falien,do.; Richard Lightfoot, larceny; Wm. H. Merrick, false pretenses; Henry Miles, do.; Malone Wheless, embezzlement; Jere- miah Williams and Leonard Lee, larceny from the person, and Harry West, false pretenses. The case of Alexander Brown for high- way robbery was ignored. ed Republican Gains in New York. Returns from a number of counties in New York state in which town meetings were held yesterday show great republican gains. Where the party had a majority on the board of supervisors it has been in- creased and in many cases the republicans now have a majority where they were be- fore in the minority. A light vote was polled in many counties, owing to the snow-drifted roads. ———_-+ e+ Johnston’s grocery prices.

GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS PARIS, Feb. 14.—The police announce that It seems to be definitely established that the bomb throwe-’s name is Emile Henry, and that he was born at Barcelona, Spain, on September 26, 1872, of French parents. The police now add that they have been aware of his presence in Paris since January 18, and that he had lived in London for a few weeks previous to coming to this city. The prefect of police here has been in- formed that Breton was seen last week in company with a man whose description tal- lies with that of a supposed accomplice. A knife found upon the anarchist, when | he was arrested, was noticed to be slightly discolored at the point, and was handed to M. Girard of the municipal laboratory, on the supposition that the point of this weapon was poisoned. M. Girard will ex- amine the knife and make a report upon it later. A telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles Says that an anazchist who Is believed to be identical] with Breton came to that city from Algeria in 1892, and that for some time afterward he worked as a waiter in a cafe at that port. The Petit Journal publishes a dispatch rom Algiers today saying that copies of an anarchist manifesto were found scattered in the streets of that city yesterday morn- ing. The manifesto is dated London and is headed: “Carnot, the Murderez.” ‘The dispatch. adds the manifesto contain- ed threats to assassinate the president of the French republic, and was signed by a group of ana-chists. In consequence of the anarchist demon- strations at lvry cemetery, where the re- mains of Vaillant, the recent}y executed anarchist, are buried, the prefect of police has stationed a dozen police officers per- manently at the cemetery mentioned in order to prevent any further demonstra- tions. ‘The radical organs today, discussing the contemplated action of the government for the protection of citizens against anarchist ovirages, express the fear that thé cham- ber of deputies will be induced to vote laws which are opposed to the Mberty of the people. OPPOSED TO THE PEERS. Resolution Adopted by the National Liberal Federation. PORTSMOUTH, Eng.,Feb.14—The National Liberal Federation continued its meetings today, with a large attendance, which in- cluded a number of members of parliament. At this morning’s meeting the delegates Presented a resolution advocating reform in legislation and includ'ng the one-man- one-vote proposition, the holding o/ all elec- tions on the same day, the payment of members cf parliament and the abolition of all rating qualifications. Mr. Robson, Q. C., moved a resolution to the effect that the habitual disregard of the national wil). manifested by the louse of lords was an intolerabie abuse, and as- suring the ministry of the enthusiastic sup- port of the liberals for whatever measures were adopted to secure the commons’ para- mount authorit Mr. Morton, . In support of the reso- lution, a t use there was in the house of comm while the house of lords was allowed to exist. © The speaker then described the house of lords as a fraudulent company conducting business on the principle of Jabez Balfour, said that the peers used their volitical >0- sition for their own pecuniary interest sind expressed the opinion that it was the duty of the people to end this fraudulent pro- ceeding. “What the people wanted,” continued Mr. Morton, “was first a quarrel ith and then the destruction of their great enemy The resolution was finally adopted unani- mously, as other resolutions embodying the New Castle program. THE “BLUFF” Comment of the Londen Times on the ent’'s Concessions. LONDON, Feb. 11.—The Times says: In card-table parlance, the government has been bluffing on a bad hand, and the risks of that operation are known to be consid- erable. The house of lords, it says, will fHAT FAILED. | adhere to the position that it has taken up, | leaving Mr. Gladstone to sacrifice the em- ployers’ liability bill if he chooses. It is not easy for him to take any other cours: The Chronicle, in a leading article, says: ill take in sail before the storm which threatens them arrives. What the Peers Say. A reporter of the Associated Press has had an interview with the Earl of Dudley, the mover of the “contracting out” amend- ment to the employers’ liability bill in the house of lords. The Earl of Dudley sald that he did not think the house of lords was likely to recede from its position, after yesterday evening's vote. Other conservative peers were interview- ed, and declared their intention to oppose Mr. Peyton Cobb's compromise amend- ment, to the effect that any existing agree- ment between workmen and their employ- ers should be excluded from the operation of the bill for three years. ‘The conservative peers interviewed also asserted that they intended ‘to oppose Mr. Cobb's amendment, even if the government chose to drop the bill on that account. The lberal lords declare that the small- ness of yesterday’s majority is entirely due to the chance absence of a number of nationalists and several English members of parliament who were addressing meet- ings called to protest against the action of the house of lords. In conclusion, the liberals interviewed de- clared that Mr. Cobb’s amendment was the utmost limit of the government concession, and if the bill is sacrificed, the responsi- bility will rest with the house of lords. The Barbarian Style of Warfare. LONDON, Feb. 14.—The Chronicle this morning prints an interview, which w: obtained by a representative of the Pre- toria Press with Capt. Lloyd Francis, who was engaged in the Matabele campaign. It is stated that Capt. Francis admitted that wounded Matabeles, many of them naked and helpless, were shot by the forces of the British South Africa Company, their orders being to take no prisoners, but to shoot every native they came across, Breton a Comrade of Vaillant. LONDON, Feb. 14.—The Chronicle’s cor- respondent at Paris recalls the fact that a young man of the name of Breton was standing near Vaillant in the gallery of the chamber of deputies when Vaillant threw his bomb. Breton was arrested at the time, but was liberated after a brief questioning. The Floods in Europe. LONDON, Feb. 14.—A dispatch to the Standard from Berlin says: A non-com- raissioned officer and three other persons have been drowned in the River Pregel. VIENNA, Feb. 14.—Heavy floods exist in the Szamos valley. A number of villages are inundated. Count De Lesscps Retires. LONDON, Feb. 14.—A dispatch to the Times from Paris says: At a meeting of the directors of the Suez canal yesterday the members of the De Lesseps family re- quested that the board accept the resigna- tion of Count Ferdinand De Lesseps. The directors decided to comply with the wishes of the family, and then passed resolutions that Count Ferdinand tn future should have the title of honorary chairman and that the shareholders at their next meeting be asked to provide for the family. M. Gui- chard was elected president of the board. Civil War Expected in Servia. LONDON, Feb. 14.—A dispatch to the Telegraph from Belgrade, Servia, stays a royal decree has been issued summoning the reserves to assemble on February 21 for a three weeks’ drill. The radicals be- [lieve that a coup d'etat is be'ng prepares for March 6, the anniversary of the pro- clamation of the king. kKx-King Milan’ influence with the army is invaluable to the government, which is aware that the crisis will cuiminate in a civil war. algerian Alli- Possible Roumania: ance.

Defective Sanitary Conditions Pointed Out by a Board of Experts. The board of sanitary inspectors, com- Posed of Messrs. Hird, Shepherd and Weich, detailed to make am examination of the ‘District building with a view of determin- ing its sanitary condition today made its report, which is as follows: 1, This investigation included an exam- ination into the general sanitary condition, such as location, ventilation, capacity of Quarters in relation to the number of em- Ployes, toilet arrangements, etc. 2 An inspection of the plumbing. 3. An inspec- tion of the sewer located under the bulld- ing and the outlets ieading from the same. As a result of our investigation we would first cail particular attention to the location of the building. This structure was con- verted from a brick warehouse into its present condition. It is built upon made ground, the deposits of the city’s refuse | having been dumped at this point for years. As there is no system of ventilation be- tween the ground floor and the surface, it is @ fact that this soll, coming in contact with the steam pipes, which ramify under the building, cannot but rarefy the air to that extent as to afford an opportunity for the dissemination of obnoxious gases from the soil through the rooms of the building. We find also that there is no attempt at ventila- tion in the building, aside from the windows, which are in many cases inadequate, par- ticularly in the closets. We are also of the opinion that the toilet arrangements are entirely too smail and antiquated for a pub- Mc building where there is so large a force as is here employed. It was noticeable that the odors of the closets worked outward into the halls, rather than upward through the small windows intended for their exit. Ventilation Defective. When these facts are taken into consider- ation, togethef with the large number of daily visitors to the District building, it is evident that the method of ventilation, as it now exists, is seriously deficient. The plumbing was also found to be defective, there being strong evidence of a direct con- nection between the sewer and the build- ing of such a character as to allow the en- trance of gases into the bullding. In regard to the sewer, we found the arch of the same to be in excellent condi- tion, no cracks or breaks being visible. There were, however, four eight and two twelve-inch dry sewerage pipes directly under the building, which are evidently of no use, and should therefore be closed, as it is very possible that they furnish a means of escape for the gases into the building. Will Go to Congre: The report of the inspectors from the health office concerning the sanitary con- dition of the District building has set the Commissioners to work. Upon the receipt of the report Commissioner Ross had a talk with the Engineer Commissioner, and it was decided to go before the House com- mittee on public buildings and grounds and urge the importance of an eppropria- tion for a new municipal buildlag. The Commissioners had a report prepared show- ing the number of clerks in the building by rooms, and will exhibit this to show the crowded condition of the building. es Mr. Quincy's Fee From Argentine. The friends of Mr. Josiah Quincy, the ex- assistant secretary of state, say that an injustice has been done that gentleman by the implication that he had received a large fee for the beneflt of influence upon the President in the decision of the boundary dispute between Brazil and the Argentine Republic. The services rendered by Mr. Quincy to the Argentine minister in this case, it is stated, were of a proper and legitimate character. Mr. Quincy has been in the employ of the Argentine legation in connection h the boundary case for sev- eral months, assisting the minister in the preparation of his argument and looking up authorities for him. He also took charge of the minister's manuscript, eorrected the English and read the proof for him, bit his services terminated with the presentation of the case to the President last Saturday. —+°- A Pecoliar Case. The case of Lieut. Frank W. Nichols of the navy is a peculiar one. He recently applied to be placed on the retired list on account of physical disability, but the board that examined him reported that he was not a proper subject fer retirement. He has now been ordered before another hoard for examination for promotion. The re- sult is awaited with interest, for the rea- son that if he ts found unfit for cither pro- motion or retirement there will be a block in promotions in the line below tim until bis condition becomes such as to justify either his disposition one way or the uther. cen oe ees Letter Carriers’ Claims.

Page 5.—Advt. the suits | TO BE HANGED MARCH | Sentence of Death on White and Robin- son. Manassas Criminals Taken Back to Alexandria—Gov. 0’Ferrall’s Course Now Generally Commended. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. MANASSAS, Va., Feb. 13, 1894. Unless they are granted a new trial or are respited, Jim Robinson and Ben White, the two young negroes condemned to death here for criminally assaulting Mrs. Heftiun and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Miliott, at the home of the women, about two miles from here, on the 13th of last month, will pay | the awful penalty for their crime in the jail yard of the town on Friday, the 3Uth of |mext month. No one here appears to be- ‘lieve for a moment that the appellate court will order a new trial in the case of either of the doomed men, nor does any one really believe that the governor will respite them. So it is confidently thought that the crim- inals will suffer death on the day named by Judge Lipscomb this afternoon. The conviction of White this morning and the decree of the jury that he should, like | Robinson, his fellow in the assault, suffer death, gave the greatest satisfaction to the people of the town and to the many stran- | gers who had attended the trials from the adjacent county. The action cf Governor ;O’Ferrall in sending the troops to the trial, which at first had been considered by the People of the town as a refiection upon their law-abiding reputation, was forgotten in the conviction of the two prisoners, and it was generally admitted that as a precau- tionary measure it was a wise move on the part of the authorities, although there Seemed to have been little necessity for the presence of the soldiers, so far as the peo- ple of the immediate neighborhood were concerned. Yet there was the greatest sat- isfaction expressed that the troops had been present, and that the wretched criminals had, through their presence, received every protection due them ard had been given every opportunity by the court and prose- cution to fully and fairly defend themselves. Sentencing the Men to Death. As stated in The Star, the court took a recess immediately after the convictton of White until 3 o'clock. Upon the reconven- ing of court after recess an hour or two were spent in preparing of the bills of ex- ceptions in the case of each of the con- demned men, and then Judge Lipscomb proceeded to pass the awful sentence of the law upon the men. First Robinson was told by the clerk of | the court to stand up, and, when asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced upon him merely stated that he had not known just when he was to be tried. He said nothing more, und then Judge Lipscomb told him that he had been convicted, after a fair and impartial trial, of the heinous crime of rape, and that the jury in their discretion had decided that he should suffer death. The court, explained Judge Lipscomb, had, therefore, nothing to do but to set the day for his execution. “The judgment of the court is,” said the judge, “that you shall be taken to the jail of this county and there safely confined until Friday, the 30th day of March, 1894, when, between the hours of 7 and 11 a.m., the sheriff of the county shall cause you t hanged by the neck until you be dead.” The usual invocation, nd may God have mercy upon your soul,” was for gome reason or other omitted by Judge Lipscomb, and after he had directed that the prisoner taken at once back to the jail he im- posed the same sentence upon White. The latter stated that he had nothing to say in reply to the clerk’s formal inquiry, and each man heard the sentence with seeming in- ~*~ . t was at first thought that Ju comb would retain the men in the sau hove until the day of their execution, but after the adjournment of the court he concluded that it would be better to send the prisoners back to the Alexandria jail under the es. cort of Capt. Mushback and his men, and thus escorted the men left for Alexandria on the train ieaving here at 7:40. A large | but orderly crowd saw them off, and the | trip to Alexandria was made without the slightest trouble, although large crowds met | the train at Alexandria es Daina and at the stations oe An Appent! to the Indians, ST.

State of Trade in Mexico. MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Feb. 14.—In the review of trade conditions in Mexico, El Economista Mexicano says that the insta- bility of the stock market has well nigh paralyzed the regular speculative move- ment in agricultural products. The move- ment of crops is very slow, but keeps en- tirely up with the demand. The sales of coffee and other products being made to United States buyers generaliy rule high in price on account of the present exchange, although the general cost of living has gone up in proportion with exchange. The sellers are in very good spirits by figures realized. Coffee sells for $31 to $34 per 100 pounds. Cotton, $19.50 a quintal,” and sugar from $1.75 to $2.12 per arroba at the custom house. ss The union molders of Cleveland, Ohjo, have voted almost unanimously not to ac- cept the ten per cent reduction ordered by the founders.

There is one way in which the men who were entombed in the Gaylord slope at Plymouth, Pa., yesterday may have escaped instant destruction, but only to meet death in a slower form by imprisonment and starvation in old workings. Opening from the gangway where they were at the time of the cave-in are a number of cross head- ings leading to an old gangway, which runs along the boundary line of the Del- aware and Hudson Canal Company's property, and this gangway is supported by a solid wall of coal on the Del- aware and Hudson side. If the men had a few moments’ warning, which ts quite pos- ings waiting for help. This help is coming sound always given out before a cave oo- curs, they are possibly now in these work- sible, because of the premonitory cracking to them as fast as work can be pushed. The distance to this gangway from the foot of the shaft is about 900 feet through closed which m be ed and” retimbered” before they cat be traversed. Gangs of men as large as can be accommodated in the tunneis have been working with feverish haste, being relieved at frequent intervals. Even then it is a question if this gangway will not be found to have been closed by the cave-in, as well as the main passage. In this case the only hope for the im- prisoned men is that they had warning enough to retreat in another direction toward old workings which open a mile away on the mountain side, where the vein crops out an old airway. Men nave already entered this airway and are searching about the abandoned chambers for the men, but with little hope of suc- cess. Inside Superintendent Picton, whose son was in charge of the imprisoned party, said he.would not give up hope of finding the men until their dead bodies were brought out. Half past seven o'clock last night re- ports were sent up from the rescuing gangs that the squeeze showed signs of contin- uing and that chunks of rock from the roof were falling around them in all direc- tions. The mules were taken from the in- side as rapidly as possible, and careful watch is being kept of the air courses. The fans to supply air to the workers inside are being run to their fullest capacity to furnish air and ‘s keep the open spaces clear of deadly mine gas, which the im- mense fall has liberated in fearful quan- titles. All the men are working with wire gauge safety lamps as a precaution against explo- sions, and this is a hindrance in their opera- tions, as these lamps give almost no work- ing light. In the little office of the are a number of the most prominent officials of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre,, ith, Par- rish, Delaware and Hudson and Ki! Coal Companies in consultation over the best means for rescue, should all plans now being attempted fail of success. The Dela- ware and Hudson Coal Company has volun- teered to cut through from their No. 1 mine, a few hundred feet distant on the east, and the Parrish Coal Company also, stands ready to cut through the pillars from their workings on the westerly side. It is probable that the workings of the FINANCIAL. “Procrastination Is The Thief f Time.” eats sf HY Willis and Estates. usa P erncer se PAYS POUR PER CENT INTEREST ON SAVINGS ACCOUNTS.

There Are a Great Many People in Washington Who have never beard of us. That is not our fault, as we have been doing business right in | their midst for the past twelve years, and ad- vertised our association in nearly all the news- Papers of the city during that time. In order to inform those who do not know us, and also for the information of those who do, we will tell them that during the year ending last November we received the largest amount of original cash Payments of any Building Association in the Dis- trict. “Our receipts are anywhere from $60,000 to $100,000 monthly. Our present assets are §1,114,- 704.01, and our Mabilities, $1,002,320—leaving us & surplus or interest fund of $112,378.01. Our receipts of interest from advances are over $7,000 per month, and we are constantly paying out to our members from $4,000 to $5,000 monthly, thus paying dividends all the time. If a member's interest rounts to $10 or ever, we pay it to him monthly; if less than $10, we pay it every three months, thus allowing them to compound their interest 12 times in a year, and the others every quarter. For special payments we pay 6 per cent per annum; for shares withdrawn before maturity, 5 per cent per annum, and at maturity (100 months or over), our shares are redeemed at 12 per cent per anntm. Although we are entitled to notices fer withdrawal of money, except tn times of financial stringency, we always pay on demand. Some associations promise larger rates of profits and by that means have unfortunately succeeded in inducing some to place their money with them, but the invariable rule is that they do not get any interest whatever, and have to stand a heavy shave or discount tn order to get back their prin- cipal. This kind of business is a little different to our mode of doing it, for we always pay both principal and interest in full, the interest in some cases amounting to thousands of dollars, at the rate of 12 per cent per annum. We venture to assert that the Perpetual Bull4- ing Association has more gool features and meth- ods of doing business, and done at less expense, than any other in the United States. Nowhere can you go and find the samme advantages that are enjoyed by the members of the Perpetual. Office at 506 11th street. Open day and evening. C. €, DUNCANSON, President.
