The Commissioners Urge Their Views on the House Committee. ‘The Commissioners were before the House committee on appropriations this afternoon and urged, among other things, an appro- | priation of $16,000 for a daily garbage ser-| | vice for the following reasons: “Dr. C. M. Hammett, health officer, rec- ommends a daily garbage service. He says: ‘Numerous letters and petitions, and my personal observations, and many appeais | made to my department during the last summer, induce me to believe that a daily | removal of garbage is generally and great- ly desired by the Washington public, and I recommend and advise that an effort be made to obtain an appropriation to give this city a daily garbage service from May 1 to, October 31, in the interest of sanitation and | the city’s welfare.” | “The ward physicians, the health officer's | corps of assistants, about twenty in num- ber, who are thoroughly familiar with the sanitary needs of the city, addressed letters to the health officer, urging him, in the in terest of sanitation and the city’s welfare, | to recommend a daily garbage service dur- | ing the warm weather. “One hundred physicians, many of then among the most prominent in the profes- sion, have urged» the Commissioners to! exert themselves to procure an appropria- | tion sufficient to give the city a daily gar- | | bage service in the interest of the public | health. | “Over one thousand residents and taxpay- ers living in every part of the city, and representing every trade, profession and business occupation, have petitioned Commissioners of the District and health officer to do all in their power to cure a daily garbage service in this city during warm weather in the interest of | comfort and cleanliness. H special committee appointed by the East Washington Citizens’ Association to wait upon the committee of Congress to urge an | appropriation for a daily garbage service report ‘that a daily garbage service in this city from May to October inclusive is ab- | | solutely necessary in the interest of public heaith, comfort and cleanliness.” “There are in this city over 4,000 houses with no back yards, and under a system of | tri-weekly collection the garbage must re- | main in their houses from Friday to Mon- ‘aay, or from Saturday to Tuesday, three ! days, creating intolerable nuisances detri- mental to heaith. “In nearly every city of the Union of jover 100,000 inhabitants there is a daily | garbage service.

The Long Career of the Deceased in ‘This City—His Character and His Works. St. Patrick's parish is in mourning. The members of that large and influential parish were deeply shocked at the intelli- gence of the sudden death yesterday after- noon at his residence, 10th and G streets, of their beloved pastor, Rev. Jacob Ambrose Walter. The ties of affection and of duty that bind pastor and people have continued in this instance through so many years that they are of an especially sacred and precious character. For nearly forty years Father Walter had ministered to the spir- itual needs of the parish and has visited the sick and comforted the afflicted. He has passed in and out of the homes of the people and has endeared himself by many acts of kindness. His death came with all the force of an unexpected blow, for al- though Father Walter has not been enjoy- ing his usual health for some months past, yet it was not generally known that he was In any respect in a critical condition. The cause of his death was paralysis of the heart, and as in all similar cases, the call was a sudden one, and before even those most intimately associated with him knew of the approaching fate he had been touch- ed by the cold hand of the grim destroyer = an a ahort time after the first he onitions he sani eacefully and quiet! into his final sleep. : z Yesterday he had_as his’ guest Bishop Chapelle of Santa Fe, who was formerly the priest in charge of the parish of St. Matthew's. They dined together, and Father Walter was, as he usually was in social hours—in a jovial, happy mood—and drew largely upon his fund of anecdotes and stories. After dinner he received some visitors and heard some confessions. Later in the afternoon the housekeeper entered his office to deliver a package that had just been banded in at the door, when she found Father Walter sitting in a chair, with his head thrown back and his eyes closed. As- sistance was at once summoned. Father McGee, who happened to be in the house at | the time, came to the side of his superior, and a sister from the asylum across the | street, who was there, came in the office. The Last Rites. The dying man attempted to speak, but | it was in vain. Father McGee administered the last rites of the church. Father Walter was evidently conscious of his surround- ings and condition, but was unable to fraree his thoughts in words. In a few moments all was over. The dying priest gave a gentle sigh and the heart ceased its action, and Father Walter had closed his eyes forever on the scenes of this work The remains were dressed in the robes of his office and laid in state in the parlor, where they were viewed by bers of the members of the who flocked to the house as soon as they heard the sad _ intelligence. All through today there was a constant stream of visitors of all conditions. The funeral services will be held in St. Patrick's Church Monday morning at 10 o'clock, when solemn high requiem mass will be celebrated. Bishop Keane will deliver the parish, | Sermon, and it is expected that the cardinal will be. present, The interment will be at Mt. Olivet cemetery. '" Sketch of His Life. Father Walter was one of the best known of the Catholic clergymen in this city. He came here in the year 1860, and as the head | of one of the largest Catholic parishes in the city he occupied a prominent position. In addition his energy and business meth- | ods, as well as his fearless, outspoken dis- position, made him known beyond the con- fines of his parish. At the time of his death he was sixty-seven years old, having been born in Baltimore in 1 His an- cestors were Americans for several genera- tions back, those on his father’s side hav- | ing fought in the revelution, and his mother being a descendant of the Aca- dians. He was educated for the priesthood at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, and was ordained by Archbishop Kendrick. Dr. Walter's first mission was in Harford and Baltimore counties, Md. His first charge was at Hickory, Harford county, and while there he built St. Mary's He also bui John’s Church at Long Green, Baltimore county, where he was sent later on, and a priest's residence. In the year 1860, thirty-four years ag he was appointed pastor of Patric] Church, to succecd Father O'Toole. — St. Patric is one of the permanent rector- | ships provided for by the :hird plenary council in 188%. It is the only one tn the District. When he took charge parish it was poor and feeble. and gling much, as the city was in whi was located. The churen building was then fronting on F street, west of Masonic Tem- ple, and the pastoral residence at the cor- ner of 10th and F streets. Nearly the en- tire square was then, as it is now, the prop- erty of the church. Under Father Walter's wise and prudent management tie affairs of the parish pros- pered, although there were periods of hard- ship. He built the structure on G street between 9th and 10th streets, now known as Carroll Hall, and then subseq erected the present church edifice. Walter's principle was to pay as you and as a result the parish is fre His Good Works. In addition to looking after parish mat- ather Walter's energy extended into a wider field. In 1864 he established the Church of the Immacvlate Conception and was the first pastor. He brought the Lit- tle Sisters of the Poor into the city and also the Christian Brothers. He was in- gtrumental in the establishment of the parishes of the Holy Name and Anaenst He devoted a great deal of time and tention to the St. Joseph's and St. Vincent's Orphan Asylums. He was president of these institutions, and the treasurer. The foundation of an industrial school for boy. was near to his heart, and he labored ea: estly to bring It about. It was one of the last matters that was in his mind. He was kinily and charitable in his dispost- tion, and gave freely of his means to re- Meve the destitute, The Surratt Episode. As the pastor of Mrs. Surratt, who was arrested for complicity in the murder of President Lincoln, he interested himself in her case and used every effort to save her life. He believed in her innocence, and a few years ago he published in Catholic magazine his account of Mr: Surratt’s connection with the conspira He attended her on the scaffold, and w in that period of excited public feeling he was warned of danger to himself on count of his outspoken interest in th ; he replied: “I fear nelther man nor th devil. I fear God alone, and I will defe the character of the least person in parish with my life.” During his long pastorate at St. Pat- had as sist- ants some of the most prominent men in the archdiocese, among them Bishop Keane of the university, Father Morgan, Father Kervick, Chancellor C.F, Thomas and Rev.

The rest of the people in that part of the house were elderly and went to bed early, so that there was no difficulty or danger in doing what she did. Mr. Breck- inridge would usually tell her whether he was going out of an evening and tell her what time to come. It was generally after 10 o'clock. He would slam the front door when he came in as a signal to her that he was home. The house was not a large one | and it was possible to hear a door or a win- dow shut all over the house. She would usually stay an hour or more with him and then go back to her own room. After fur- ther questions of minor importance the wit- ness was excused. Mrs. Leidy Brought Back. The defense then placed on the stand Mrs. Leidy, formerly the matron of the asylum, |in which Miss Pollard’s baby was placed. |She said that she saw Mary MecKeazie on | the stand this morning. She said this was /not the woman who brought the child named Dietz Downing to the asylum on February 3, 1880, That woman gave the | the name of Thomas. | On cross-examination the witness said she could not remember the woman’s name independent of the register in which it was entered. She thought she would recognize the woman Thomas if she should see her again. To the best of her knowledge the woman who brought the child to the hos- pital was not the one on the stand this morning. “Do you wish,” asked Mr. Wilson, “to have the jury understand that to be your replied the witness. “That's all,” remarked Mr. Wilson. Mr. Breckinridge Makes More Denials Mr. Breckinridge was placed upon the stand again, and he denied that he bought the satin and ribbon with which the little work basket was decorated, as testified by Miss Pollard. Mr. Shelby attempted to get a further denial from the defendant as to the alleged relations at Miss Hoyt’s in 1887, but the judge ruled that all this had been gone into before and at sufficient length. In answer to another question he said that to his knowledge the plaintiff was never in his room at Miss Hoyt’s in the spring of ISS7. Mr. Breckinridge also de- nied that Miss Lowell ever wrote a letter for him to the plaintiff returning manu- script, which had been submitted to him for criticism, and which he complimented. The Case Closed. “This closes the case for the defense,” announced Mr. Shelby, and Mr. Wilson re- quested an adjournment in order that the lawyers might have a chance to draw up their prayers for instructions to the jury, which they will submit to the judge for his approval tomorrow morning at o'clock. Consequently at 2:50 o'clock the court adjourned. SURI Se heuer FOR COXEY’S COMMISSARY. A Loaf of Bread All the Way From Arkansas. The first donation of supplies for the sustenance of Coxey’s commonweal when it reaches Washington was received this morning by the United States Express | Company, and it came all the way from Arkans It was a loaf of bread, such as Arkansas bakers manufacture for people who don’t bake the staff of life for them- selves, and it would have needed long soak- ing to make it chewable when it reached the termination of its journey. ‘Tied to it with a string was a tag marked “From Arkansas. “For Commissary General Coxey’s Army, Washington, D.

Almost a Riot This Morning—Chasing a Man Under a Barn— Trials Today. Two cases involving the use of deadly Weapons were in Judge Miller's court today and it was not the fault of those who used the weapons that the cases were not in- vestigated by the coroner. In one case the bullet made a flesh wound, while in the other case the piece of lead did not take effect. Eight shabbily dressed negroes appeared in the first case called to the at- tention of the court, four of them being charged. They were Ambrose Harris, Thos. King, John Harris and Walter Brice, and there were charges of assault and con- cealed weapons against them. Tuesday night the affair happened near 2ist street and Virginia avenue. It was about 8 o'clock when the quartet of pris- oners passed Henry Chapman and three companions. Chapman ventured the ques- ti “Are you going down to see Sadie?” ‘Yes, and what of it?” retorted Walter Brice. “Oh, she’s in the workhouse,” said Chap- man, who seemed glad of the opportunity to make the statement. *'Tain’t none of your business whether she’s there or not,” added Brice. Chapman said he meant no harm by what he said, and endeavored to make the boys understand that he was not prejudiced against Sadie Johnson, but this sort of an apology aid not answer. A fight had to take place, and, although a pistol was used, no one was injured. Walter Brice was the particular one to get the weapon, and he handed it to John Harris, who fired one shot. Brice claimed that the pistol belonged to his grandmother, but he admitted that he had carried it on two occasions. Judge Miller, in disposing of the case, said he thought Harris should have been charged with attempted murder. It's a shame,” the court sald, “to send these fellows to jail and feed them when they ought to be somewhere breaking stone.” John Harris was given eleven months and twenty-nine days in jail for the shooting, and Brice was given eighteen months for the assault and concealed weapons. The other prisoners were given thirty days each, Another Shooting. In the case in which a flesh wound was inflicted a white man shot a negro. The affair happened on the works near Florida and Connecticut avenues about 7:30 o'clock this morning. Don Peters, an assistant foreman on the works, shot John Fleet, a colored cart driver, and the appearance of Policeman Skinner prevented what would probably have resulted in a riot. It appears that soon after the men start- ed to work cutting down the bank Don | Peters appeared among the colored men, |who jeered at him. This did not please Peters, and what he said to the negroes caused an ill feeling, which was followed by the throwing of a stone. The stone struck Peters on the head, and, thinking Fleet had thrown it, he drew his pistol and commenced firing. Two shots were fired, nd one bullet made a flesh wound in the |arm of the negro. Then the negroes turn- jed upon Peters, and he had to run for his life. He sought protection from the excited ‘art drivers beneath a barn, and he was there out of their way when Policeman Skinner appeared upon the scene and pre- vented further bloodshed. Peters was ar- rested und locked up on a charge of at- tempted murder. The case was continued until Tuesday. See ASSIGNMENTS. SUNDAY Members of the M. P. Conference to Occupy Local Pulpits. Rev.

The democrats of Atlanta, Ga., where C. Hi. J. Taylor, President Cleveland's nominee for recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, once lived, urge his rejection by the Senate. The Evening Commercial, ed- ited by B. M. Blackburn, says: “The members of the democratic party all over the United States are disgusted with the disposition on the part of the adminis- tration to ve s of the best places un- der the government to negroes, whose loyal- ty is measured by the extent of the revenue. The President has singled Taylor out for promotion at the expense of life-long demo- ats, many of whom have more ability. This is a course that deserves positive con- demnation and absolute repudiation, The Commercial does not like that kind of de- mocracy. We hope the Senate will lose no time in_ the rejection of Taylor's appoint- ment. Don't pigeonhole it, but come out like Angle xon democrats and defeat his | confirmation, and that of every other negro who m: be selected for this re. ° the President to send democrat, or let th: remain in office.
