The Commissioners will give a hearing on Saturday, at 10 o'clock a.m., on the various bills introduced in Congress, and the bill prepared by the board of trade, for the es- tablishment of a permanent board of as- sessors for the District of Columbia. The bill prepared by the board of trade provides for an immediate revision and equalization of real estate values in the District of Columbia, also an assessment in the year 1896, and every third year there- after. The Commissioners are to appoint three persons, who are to be bona fide resi- dents of the District of Columbia for at least ten years, and conversant with real estate values therein, as a permanent board of assistant assessors, who shall hold office for three years, or until their successors are appointed. Their salaries are to be $2,500 a year. This board will immediately proceed to hear and consider such com- plaints as may be made regarding the as- sessment returns by the board of three members appointed by the President of the United States under the act of August 5, 1892. They will revise and equalize said as- sessment and make thetr return to the as- sessor of the District of Coiumbia or be- fore the first Monday of August, 1804. The other bills to be considered the hearing will be House of Represeniatives bill 4926, ““To regulate assessments of real estate in the District of Columbia.” Sen- ate bill 11%, “Relating to assessments in the District of Columbia,” and Senate bill 1660, “To establish a permanent board of assessors in the District of Columbia.” —>—___ Henry Smallwood is spending a month in jail for stealing a piece of canvas from the District. THE ROME EXPLOSION NE®LY 4 LYNCHINGTHE METHODISTS One of the Wounded Men Dies From His Injuries. } PREMIER ROSEBERY'S COMING ADDRESS | et ee Mr. Gladstone Progressing Toward | Recovery. aa See | THE REDMOND MANIFESTO) ee ROME, March 9.—One of the men taken | to the hospital after being found wounded | on the Piazza di Monte Citorio, after the explosion yesterday evening of the bomb | in the front of the chamber of deputies, died this morning. The rolice no longer doubt that the bomb was hidden 'n a high hat and was intended / to be exploded in the chamber of deputies, and the conspirators might have succeeded in attaining thelr object had it not been | that the chamber adjourned earlier than | usua! owing to the fact that Premier Crispi was suffering from a cold and was there- | fore unable to answer the many questions, | notice of which had been given to the government. The authorities express the belief that the bomb carrier, seeing the last of the! deputies leaving the chamber, judged that | it would be useless to attempt to enter that | building, and so exploded the deadly missile on the Piazga di Monte Citorio. The police also claim that there is no doubt that the explosion was the work of anarchists, who had been roused to action by the fact that the deputies yesterday devoted considerable time to discussing the question of prosecuting the chief of the | great socialist labor society, Deputy Felice Giuffrida of Catania, who is sald to have | aad a great deal to do with the recent agi- tation In Sicily. Two other sufferers from the explosion now in the hospital are much worse today. One of the patients had his leg amputated this morning. LORD ROSEBERY’S POLICY. It Will Be Announced in an Address on March 17. LONDON, March 9.—Lord Rosebery, the new premier, will on March 17 make an address at Edinburgh to delegates from the | liberal associations of all parts of Scotland. | Upon this occasion Lord Rosebery is ex- pected to make an important pronounce- ment of the policy which the new ministry intends to adopt. Mr. Gladstone Recovering. The health of Mr. Gladstone has greatly improved and he is now pronounced to be | on the high road to complete recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone have received auto- graph letters from the queen, both the missives being couched in language show- ing high appreciation of the services ren- dered to the country by Mr. Gladstone. The letter addressed by the queen to Mrs. Glad- stone is full of interesting reminiscences. The Redmond Manifesto. The Globe this afternoon, discussing the address which Mr. John Redmond, M. P., leader of the Parnellite party, has issued to the Irish people, says: “Redmond and the faithful few who refused to desert their leader know perfectly well that the recent events mean that home rule will be | dropped and that the unholy compact be- | tween the McCarthyites aud Mr. Gladstone will not advance their cause, while the only result has been that of causing Mr. Glad- stone to leave the Irish party in the lurch. If, personally, it has been satisfactory to them it has done nothing for the dollar- providers and unless something is done, | McCarthy, Sexton, Dillon and Company will find their occupation gone.” | The Chronicle says: “Our columns have seldom contained anything more foolish than the Redmond manifesto. If the Irish| representatives generally take this line home Tule will not come before the squaring of the circle.” NOT YOUNG WEBSTER. The Corpse Found in the Seine at Suresnes, PARIS, March 9.—There is no truth in the sensational story printed in the Journal de Paris of today suggesting that the decom- posed body of a young man who was found caught in the weir at Suresnes,on the Seine, was that of Edward Webster, the American school boy who has been missing since the holidays. Edward Webster, whose mother, Mrs. Theodore N. Conkling, lived at No. 64 West Joth street, New York, left the St. Lazare railros station, Paris, last New Year eve for Colombes, six miles from Paris, and has not been seen since. Young Webster was the only son of the late Jonn P. Webster, who was known on the New York produce exchange as “Jack” Webster, and who upon his death, five years ago, left an estate of about $400,000, which the missing lad would have inherited on at- taining his majority. Young Webster was! only seventeen years of age, but, as he was six feet two inches tall and weighed 180, pounds, he looked several years older. The missing school boy was famous as a young athlete, played on the foot ball team at Phillips Academy and spent two years preparing for the United States Naval Acad- emy at Annapolis. Cardinal Thomas Dead. PARIS, March 9.—Cardinal Leon Benoit Charles Thomas, Archbishop of Rouen, died this morning. The deceased prelate was born May 29, 1826, and _ was nominated Bishop of La Ro- chelle-et-Saintes by a decree dated January 12, 1867, was promoted Archbishop of Rouen by the decree of November 10, 1863, and was preconized on March 24 of the following year. Archbishop Thomas was elevated to the cardinalate in 1893 and had been a knight of the Legion of Honor since August | 14, 1869. Ministerial Crisis at the Hague. THE HAGUE, March 9.—The Netherlands ministry is expected to resign, as the cham- ber has adopted an amendment to the prin- eee clause of the government reform bill. In consequence of the adoption of this amendment Premier Dr. G. Van Tienhoven has withdrawn the bill and is conferring with the ministers. —_——— PROFITABLE COURTESY. A Clergyman Who Has Fallen Heir to Thousands. PHILADELPHIA, March 9.—Rev. Wm. R. MeNelill, now pastor of the Baptist Church at Emporium, Pa., has fallen heir to a $10,000 farm and his daughter to $25,- 000 worth of property under unusual cir- cumstances. While in Jersey City last fill he noticed an oid lady standing in the street | apparently in trouble. She had dropped her | spectacles in the mud and several packages | in her arms prevented her picking them up. Boys stood on the sidewalk making sport of her, and she was greatly exercised. Mr. MeNeill_ picked up the spectacles, wiped them off and presented them to her. She | asked for his name and address. The lady | died recently and bequeathed to Mr. Mc- Neill a farm near Bridgeton, N. J., and to | his daughter several houses in Bridgecon. — Kelles of the Indian. MONTICELLO, Ill, March Gian mounds on of Monticello, were dug into by men, who were getting out sand for the new public | school building recently, and many Indian | skeletons and implements were discovered. The bones were in a good state of preser- vation. The Pawnee and the Kichasoo tribes formerly camped near this city and these mounds, it is thought, were their burial places. ele aan The Cowboy Bridegroom Released. | CHICAGO, March 9.—Andy Gormley, the | | “Wild West” cowboy, who eloped with Ger- | | trude Rosen and was married in Milwaukee ‘last Tuesday, has been allowed to ;o free | | by Justice Robbins. He was charged with | abduction. The prosecution said the girl's | father and the cowboy had become recon- | ciled and desired a dismissal, which v granted. The father-in-law and the cowboy walked out arm in arm. 9—The In-|}¥ Camp Creek, just north | | Nove | an White and Robinson Might Have Been Unguarded, The Militia Did Not Leave Man When 1 the Prisoners, Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. MANASSAS, March 9, 1894. That threatened lynching of Ben White and Jim Robinson, convicted of having criminally assaulted Mrs. Elliott and Mrs. Hefflin, came within an ace of being a real- ity last evening. Had it not been for a | disabled locomotive the souls of the two men would surely have spent the night and the hereafter in another world. When the court resumed its session in the afternoon it became known that no de- fense whatever would be attempted, but counsel agreed that each side should make 4 ten-minute address to the jury. It was further agreed that no interruptions should occur during the talks. Thereupon Mr. Campbell, the senior coun- sel for White, arose and stated that no reasonable person could expect an acquit- tal, and he admitted that the crime per- petrated was a very dark one. White, he claimed, was led astray by Robinson, and, being but twenty years of age, the jury should return a verdict that would allow the court to sentence him to twenty years in the penitentiary, instead of death. Mr. Campbell gave it as his opinion that such a result would receive the indorsement of the citizens of the county, “Whatev: you do, | it not be from savage jo: said Mr. mpbell, in conclu- sion. “When your life is drawing to a close it will bring you happiness to remem- ber that once you showed mercy to a poor misguided boy. “I wish I had an electric battery attach- ed to my tongue, in order to properly ex- press my feelings in regard to this case,” said Commonwealth's Attorney Jeffries, in opening for the prosecution. ‘This is the first time rape has been committed in this county, and it ought to be put down for- ever with a firm hand. Mercy has no place in the matter.” At this point Mr. Campbell, in direct violation of the agreement, addressed the court and objected to the last statement made by Mr. Jeffries, and thereupon began one of the most exciting vocal sparring bouts that occurred during the trial. ‘The Court's Sharp Reminder, When it had progressed for several min- utes Judge Lipscomb said: “When you gentlemen get through endeavoring to teach each other law I will ask the com- monwealth’s attorney to proceed.’ This had a temporary soothing effect. “In the words of Patrick Henry,” con- tinued Mr. Jeffries, “I say give this pris- oner liberty or give him death. The sanc- tty of your own homes depends upon your verdict.”” “Time's up,"” interrupted Mr. Green, when the speaker had consumed but seven of the ten minutes allotted to him. Again pande- monium broke loose. Every person in the crowded room who owned a_ timepiece brought it forth. Every variety of the article, from the modest Waterbury to the finest chronometer, was placed in evidence. “We've three minutes left,” was shouted by what sounded like fully half the spec- tators present. “You've talked a minute over time,” came back from the other side. “As usual, we will do whatever you say,” remarked the commonwealth’s attorney. “I'm through.” After Mr. Campbell had asked the court to instruct the jury that the prisoner's previous good character should be taken into consideration the jury, at 3:07 o'clock, retired. No one in the audience left his seat, for a verdict was expected forthwith. The twelve men consumed seventeen min- utes in writing their unanimous opinion, and then filed back to their seats in the box. “Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?” asked the clerk. At this question White, for the first time, looked up and scanned the faces of the jurors, and Judge Lipscomb cautioned the crowd to make no demonstration at the answer. “We have,” came the reply. “We find the prisoner Ben White guilty as indicted, and his sentence shall be death.” A slight tremor passed over the prisoner, but he instantly resumed his morbid ap- pearance. After the usual motions White was removed to the jail, the guard with- drawn, and the Alexandria Light Infantry marched to the hotel. Judge Lipscomb, thinking that the death sentence had re- moved all danger from mob violence de- cided to confine both White and Robinson in the Manassas jail, and therefore Capt. Mushbach was granted permission to re- turn with his men to Alexandria as soon as he desired. White was to have been sentenced this morning. The town assumed its usual quiet aspect, and a special train to transport the militia was ordered to leave Manassas at 6 o'clock. At that hour the soldiers were aboard the cars awaiting the arrival of engine No. 802 from Charlottesville. But No. 802 hada broken driving rod, and, therefore, was ten minutes late. Preparing for a Lynching. In the meantime, however, affairs were not as serene as they appeared on the sur- face. Preparations for a lynching on a magnificent scale had been carried for- ward with dispatch all the afternoon. The Star reporter was permitted to see the pre- pared rope, and he also saw the five lead- ers of the affair in conversation, The ar- rangement was that immediately upon the departure of the militia the mob should rendezvous and proceed to the jail and there go forward with the ceremony. But, it is said, a few minutes after 6 o'clock Judge Lipscomb received a tele- gram from the sheriff of Fauquier county informing him that forty-five armed men were on their way to Manassas. He was also told of the local preparations. Thereupon the judge hurried to Capt. Mushbach and held a short conversation with that officer. A moment later First Lieut. Munroe and a platoon of the Light Infantry, with fixed bayonets and loaded rifles, moved at double time toward the jail, The judge arrived there in advance. White and Robinson were taken to the court house, and without delay the former was sentenced to be hanged on Friday, April 20, 1894, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 m. It was almost dark, and no spectators were present. The condemned man displayed not the slightest emotion as sentence was pronounced. Another significant fact was that dur- ing the afternoon Sheriff Leachman went driving into the country, and up to this time had not returned, so it became neces- sary to commission First Sergt. Marbury a deputy sheriff to take charge of the pris- oners. Departure for Alexand: Then the little party moved back to the station and left for Alexandria on the 7 o'clock train, the special having arrived and departed in the meantime. A large crowd was on hand to witness the depar- ture. White remarked to Sergt. Marbury that if he was not taken to Alexandria there would not be a piece of him as large as a 5-cent piece left in the morning. Later it Was learned that a party of hegroes was also organizing for the purpose ot releasing the condemned men. Since the jail was completed in December last three such deliveries have been made, in exch case the parties being colored. Had the blacks and whites met there is no doubt but that a bloody fight would have resulted. Without incident the trip to Alexandria was made, the prisoners taken safely to the jail and.the soldiers marched to their armory amid cheers from the crowds on the sidewalks. It is dly probable that any further action will be taken in the case. Six points were reserved by the defense and numerous exceptions filed to the rulings of the court. An application to the circuit court for a as may be made, but it is general- ed that the same would be refused. t resort would be an appeal to the reme court of the state. It 1s rumored that Attorney Campbell will immediately withdraw from the case. ‘o further action will be taken in Robin- scn’s case, and it is probable that he will be respited from March 30 until April 20, in order that the execution may be a double one. The prisoners will, it is expected, meet their doom on the scaffold erected at | Warrenton for the execution of Heflin and Dyer, who murdered the Kries family on ber 11, 18v1, These men were lynch- ed the night preceding the date for their hanging. ee The humane officers of Muncie, Ind., have unced that all boys and girls under twelve years of age must cease labor in the factories and mills, as the statute directs.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., March 8, 1894. The newspaper charges of election frauds throughout the state have had the effect of giving to the state a new ballot system, It is similar in many respects to the Aus- tralian system of balloting, which is to be used in conjunction with the present law known as the Anderson-McCormick law. It was one of the last bills passed by the assembly and strange to say was champion- ed by the “machine” men. It was known as the Walton bill and originated in the senate. Two weeks ago a very few mem- bers of the house were in favor of it, but several of the newspapers in the state, led by the Richmond Times, demanded some alterations in the present system of voting. While the bill is intended to appease the reformers, which they accept as the best under the circumstances, it is claimed by many that cheating and frauds in election is made easier and safer under the new law. The bill provides that the electoral board of each county or city shall appoint for each voting precinct one special constable, who shall be a conservator of the peace and shall be specially charged with en- forcing the provisions of the act, having all powers of a constable. At the request of any elector in the voting ths who may be physically or educationally unable to vote this special constable, who can read and write, may render him assistance by reading the name and offices in the ballot and point out to him names that he wishes to strike out, or otherwise aid him in pre- paring his ballot. In case the elector be blind the constable shail prepare his ballot in accordance with instructions of the elector. Before entering upon the duties of his office the special constable shall take an oath to faithfully perform the duties thereof, and for corrupt violation of the same he shall be deemed guilty of a_ misdemeanor and be fined not less than $500 and be imprisoned not less than one nor more than twelve months in jail. The bill provides with great care and pre- caution against the making public of the official ballot. No one outside of the printer and the electorai board (all of whom is upon oath) to see the official ballot. They shall be distributed on the morning of the election and shall be in charge of the! judges of election and no ticket allowed outside of the voting booths. The whole matter now rests with the con- stable, who, of course, under the dominant party will be a democrat, and it is optional with him whether or not he will prepare the ballot for the illiterate, for the law says he may prepare the ballot and does not Say that he shall do so. Now when a negro comes to vote early, nearly all of whom ure illiterate, and asks the constable to prepare his ballot he can, if he so desires, refuse to do so, and no one else being allowed by law to prepare the ballot, the negro will be debarred from voting. The great precau- tions taken to keep the ballot a secret will | preclude the possibility of the republican leaders prompting the negroes as to which name to erase from the ballot prior to the election. Thus it is claimed that the new | law will make cheating in elections much | easier than it has been in the past. i | FOR RENT (Offices) INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. Page 10 Page 9 n 32 ATTORNEYS. ..
