There was a scene out of the ordinary in the board room of the Commissiorers’ office this afternoon just prior to the meeting of the excise board. It was all over the possession of a IMquor Ucense for which a transfer was pending. It appears that some time ago John ! Kain and wife, who kept a bar room at 215 Virginia avenue southwest, entered into a bill of sale for the pren s. John A.

As is customary, the papers were handed to the attorney, whereupon the latter snatched the license, and refused to } surrender it when requested to do so by the| license clerk. A lively colloquy ensued be- tween the attorneys. The Commissioners were not in the board room at the time. Commisstoner Ross asked what authority the lawyer had for remo’ ing the paper, but the lawyer had disap- peared, and Mr. Maurice Smith explained the merits of the case. The Commissioners promised to give the matter careful attention. ——__ DELUGED BY A CLOUDBURST. Water Rushed Three Feet Through a Michigan Town. DETROIT, Mic!

MURDER OF A TWELVE-YEAR OLD GIRL Identity Discovered by Wrapping of the Body. ARE PUZZLED NEW YORK, March 20.—Headless and | without legs or arms the shrivaled trunk of a little child’s body has peen found in a coal bin in the cellar of one of the most dilapidated rookeries in that unsavory lo- cality known as “Hell’s Kitchen, street between 10th and 1th avenues. Wrapped around {t were several articles of | clothing, such as a girl in her teens wears, | and this led to the identification of the body as that of twelve-year-old Susie Martin, daughter of John Martin, who lives at 656 11th avenue. That a murder, more horrible and revolt- ing tn its details than any which has con- fronted the police of this city for many a day, has been committed there can be no doubt. Not only a fearful mystery, but a wanton butchery, bloodcurdling in its mode | of execution, now awaits the solution of the officials, What may have preceded the jeath of this | child may only be imagined. It may never be known positively, but every circum- stance only points to the conelusiun that the murder and the mutilation of the Jittle body was intended to hide forever an- other crime no less revolting. “Jack the Ripper,” in the wildest deeds prompted by his powerful imagination, never descended to the slaughter of babes. But here, right in the heart of this big city, has a deed been done which transcends in brutality anything ever attributed to the slayer of Whitechapel. It was in a street of New York that the crime was un- earthed {f not committed, a street of tumble-down barns, of alleyways which lead no one knows whither, of low groggeries and of crime-hardened, drunken men and women, whose hatred for a police- man {s such that one never dares to ven- ture there without a blue-coated compan- ion. Of the little victim no one who will tell knows anything since the day she washed her pretty face and went out on the street to play. But that she was kidnaped is cer- tain; that she may have been kept alive in one of the neighboring rookeries, ogo | tortures worse than death, is probable, an that she was killed only a short time before what remained of her body was found is believed by all who viewed it. Mrs. Jane Farrell, the housekeeper of the building in which the body was found, gives a graphic account of how the body was dis- covered. “I was down in the cellar with Miss Mu: hearn and Miss Fleming,” she said, “watch- ing them get the old wood out of the way. They were clearing a lot of stuff out of the wood closet before putting in their own kindling wood. They had come to the last piece, when something rolled out—a kind of a bundle, wrapped up in rags. One of them, I don’t remember which, began to unroll the rags. “My God,’ said the other, ‘suppose it yuld be a child.’ I shook like a leaf. Don’t say anything so horrible,’ I said. I backed up against the wall. They un- rolled the bundle a little more, and then we all saw there was part of a body in It. Then Mr. Fleming came in, and told them not to do any more until the police came. I sent my little girl out for a policeman. “Whoever put that body there,” she added, “knew the house and knew the neighbor- hood. Although I am the housekeeper, I don't know half the people who go in and out of the place. We live here in the rear of the second floor and I have no chance to | see much. I know that tramps have slept in the hallway, for my husband has driven them out. One morning we found an old stocking and some rags in the hallway on the ground floor. They belonged to tramps, I think. That was four or five months ago. “Tramps or any one else could easily get down into the cellar. Very few of the ten- ants In the house used the cellar to keep | wood in, because it was so damp that the wood turned moldy.” Detectives who were put to work on the case have as yet found nothing to throw any ght on the mysterious crime. ——_—_ REMARKABLE CAREER. A Death of a Sometime English Bar- maid Leaving MILL NEW YORK, March 20.—The body of Kate Terry was laid in the grave yester- day. She died last Friday, ending a career remarkable in many ways. She was an English barmaid in her youth, yet died worth many millions. When she first appeared in this country, it was as the wife of Jim Variey, an Eng- lsh burglar, better known as “Reddy, the Blacksmith. They opened a saloon in Houston street near Broadway, and it soon became a resort for the Tammany heelers of the district. It was when Tweed was all powerful. Varley was noted as a and was a ready man with a pistol; but he managed to keep out of jail until Tweed’s downfall. man and was sentenced to twenty years. His wife immediately se- cured a divorce, sold out the saloon and went abroad. In Paris she met Juant Terry, a young Cuban planter. She was still pretty and | fascinating. Terry married her, and they went to Cuba to live on his father’s plan-| tation. The elder Terry learned who she was and repudiated the pair. The younger Tery died about ten years ago, leaving his fortune, estimated at $v,- 000,000, In trust for his two children. There was a long suit over the will, Mrs. Terry being successful. She went traveling through Europe again, and, it was report- ed, was about to be married to a Spanish grandee, when he learned of her record and broke the engagement. For the last few years she lived quietly in this city, looking | after the education of her children. _> THOMPSON'S ELECTION. “DUKE” Inv ligating the Methods of the Rep resentative From Gloucester. PHILADELPHIA, March 20.—The legi investi- gating the election of William J. Thompson of Camden county, continued its investiga- tion In the Camden court house today. Not more than fifty persons were present. Chas. C. Marple of 920 Market street and Representative Thompson had a very war: debate, in which all kinds of uncompliment- ary language was used. Mr. Marple noticed some peculiar procead- ings at the polls. He saw a colored, man attempt to vote, but the election officers told him he was registered f: two places; they finally, however, accepting his ballot. Mr. Marple had seen Mr. Thompson among the voters, whispering. “Well, there was nothing extraordin: about that, was there?” asked Mr. Thom ’s counsel, nowing the character of the man, my going son | attention was drawn particularly toward | him,” replied the witness. “He does not owe you anything, 4 What's wrong with his character? counsel. “Yes, he owes me, emphat — Thompson had purch: and had never settled for them. i Mr. Thompson became excited, and said} he had never demurred paying the bill when | it was honest.

Ever since the United States government took possession of the Arlington estate and established a military post upon it contigu- ous to the cemetery the forces accommo- dated there have suffered from an insuffi- cient supply of water. When the place was known as Fort Whipple and devoted to the purposes of a training school for the raw recruits of the signal corps, a hue and cry went up about the charicter of the drink- ing fluid the boys were obliged to drink. This remonstrance, however, was attrib- | uted to the general discontent of the re- | eruits, many of whom enlisted in the signal corps under the impression that it would serve as an easy entrance to an officer's quarters after awhile, and too late discov- ered that their military standing and the duties they had to perform were not what they were cracked up to be, as the signifi- cant saying goes. Co nt Years Ago. When the signal corps was divided sev- eral years ago and the weather bureau made distinct from the military branch of the institution many of its members still had the taste of Fort Whipple water in their mouths which had become fixed there many years previously,and it was but natural for them to wander what a battal- ‘ton of cavalry would do for water when the announcement was made that Fort Myer, as Fort Whipple is now named,would be occupied as a cavalry barracks. Ever since the cavalry have been sta- tioned at Fort Myer, therefore, there has been an altogether inadequate water supply, and last summer there was down- right suffering among the men and horses on account of it. The men were compelled to take their animals to water at a stream some distance away, as well as to carry water for their own consumption from this city. Many measures were considered by which sufficient supply of water could be secured for the fort, and the boring of artesian wells was at one time contem- plated, although in a vague sort of manner. To Connect With the District Supply. It appears from a perusal of the army appropriation bill that the War Department authorities now propose to meet the neces- sity by securing a regular contribution from :the water supply of tho District of Columbia. On page 17 of H. R. 6878 there cccurs a provision for “the supply of the post of Fort Myer, Va., with water from the main of the Washington aqueduct.” |,,This plan is not favorably considered by the District oficials, for the local supply is }not what it should be, and to lessen it would not be desirable. Woald Lessen the District Supply. A Star reporter called the attention of Capt. Powell to the item in the army ap- propriation bill providing for the laying of a water main to supply Fort Myer with water from the Washington aqueduct, and asked what effect this would have on the city’s supply. “It would have this effect,” replied the captain. “Every gallon drawn off for Fort Myer would be that much less for Wash- ington, and we need every drop we can get and thousands of gallons more. I think the District would suffer by such an ar- rangement.” The opinion is also expressed that the diversion of the District's water sypply into Virginia, no matter what the necess! ties of Fort Myer may be, would establish a very bad precedent. es FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The folowing are the opening, the highest and the lowest and the closing prices of the New York stock market today, as reported by Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exchange.

Eastern Bankers Want the Bland Bill Vetoed. A NEW YORK COMMITTEE COMING It Will Be Here Tomorrow Morn- ing. ACTION IN OTHER CITIES NEW YORK, March 20.—A_ meeting | of bankers has been called for tomorrow to | protest against the signing of the seignior- | age bill. Bankers claim that when they) subscribed for the bonds it was stated that | there would be no inflation legislation. A meeting of the subscribers to the new United States 5 per cent loan will be held tcmorrow at the Union Trust Company for the purpose of preparing a memorial to the President against his signing the seignior- age bill. The call for the meeting is signed by George G. Williams, president of the ‘hemical National Bank; John A. Stewart, ; president of the United States Trust Com- pany, and Eaward King, president of the Union Trust Company. At the special meeting of the chamber of} commerce held today to protest against | the Bland seigniorage bill, now in the hands of the President, it was decided to send a committee of fifteen to Washington to per- sonally protest against the President affix- ing his signature to the bill. They will carry with them an address prepared by the ex- ecutive committee ‘and adopted by the chamber. Charles Stewart Smith called the chamber to order at 12:30 today. There was a full attendance of members. Henry Heintz, chairman of the executive committee, read the address that is to be presented to the Presijent. Braytcn lves said the President must be urged to veto the bill. If he did not do so it would be a violation of a stipulation made between the administration and the bankers of New York. Mr. Ives also said that if the bill became law it would cause aa tmmediate withdrawal of gold from the treasury. Cornelius N. Bliss snoved the adoption of the report which was carried. The committee appointed to go to Washing- ton are A. E. Orr, Brayton Ives, Henry W. Cannon, Morris K. Jessup, George Wilson, Louts Windmuller, Edward O. Leach, Hugh N.

TRENTON, N. J., March 20.—Speaker Holt held the most amiable regard for each other for some time. This culminated at the Ho- tel Windsor today, when Mr. McEwan en- tered the dining room, and, going to the table where the speaker sat, exclaimed: “You are a contemptible sneak and Har.” Then McEwan turned on his heels and/ made for the door. The speaker flushed angrily, but restrained himself and made no | reply. The immediate trouble was over the water bill introduced by Mr. McEwan last night. He says he asked the speaker to refer the bill to the judiciary committee and Holt promised to do it. Instead of doing so, he referred it to the committee on municipal corporations, where McEwan thinks it is likely to be smothered. Mr. McEwan say3 nearly every republican member of the house has some grievance against the speaker, —_>— THE WORST IN YEARS. No Sign of Abatement of the Storm in Texas. ST.

THE SUGAR SCHEDULE Senator Jones Explains the Action of the Committes. Senator Jones of Arkansas this afternoon gave the following explanation of the com- mittee’s reasons for making the changes in the sugar schedule: “The bill is changed in making the increase at the rate of 2-100 of a cent for each degree apply to all sugar testing from 9) to #8 degrees, instead of from 90 to 96 degrees. The reason for this is that,on account of the improved methods of sugar-making by vacuum pans, a great | deal of sugar now imported for the purpose of being refined is above ™ degrees, and is in fact a raw sugar, to which it would be inequitable to apply the tax on refined sugar. The reason for putting the color test in the schedule is tbat there are con- siderable quantities of sugar which are im- proved in color, made, in fact,ximost white, which really contain a iow perceatage of saccharine matter,which might be imported and enter into consumption as refined sugar, easily deceiving the ;ublic by reason of their high color. To Encourage High Grades. “The introduction and sale of such sugar would be a fraud on consumers,and as it has the appearance of being a refined sugar the proposition is that the tax paid on this | class shall be the same as the tax paid | on sugars which is really refined. It is true that the quantity of such sugar would be rereree eee teeeee 5 Per Cent Bonds. ‘This company ts authorized by act of ‘Congress to issue Debenture Bonds upon first trusts or mortgages in the District of Columbia.

I very much doubt, whether they need any protection at all, but as many Senators claiming to be familiar with this matter assert that to give them no pro- tection would close up the refineries and compel them to leave this country, 1 think it wise to leave the margin as we have put It. ‘This is really a great reduction from their present protection. They now get one-half of one cent on all sugar and six-tenths of a cent on sugar coming from countries pay- ing bounties, and the proposed schedule will be a reduction of more than three-fourths | of the protection they now have; if this is| found to be too large Congress can easily rearrange it. As to the Reciprocity Treaties. Asked as to the reasons of the committee | for inserting an explicit provision for the, abrogation of the reciprocity agreements | made under the McKinley law and for strik- ing out the original amendment for the ab- rogation of the Hawaiian treaty, Mr. Jones said: “The provision for the abrogation of the commercial agreements under the McKinley law is entirely unnecessary, as the repeal of section 3 of that act certainly carries with it everything that rested upon ft, and these agreements had no vitality except! under that section. The relations between | this country an@ the Sandwich Islands are, however, on quite a different footing, as they rest upon a treaty regularly negoti- ated and ratified by the Senate. We did not propose to take up the question of the abro- gation of this treaty under this bill, hence it was left out.” ——————+o+ BISHOP VINCENT ILL. | He is Unable to Preside Over the Wil- mington Conference, WILMINGTO:!
