atte sensational scenes in the Pifty-first Congress. It was in reply to one of iis | stinging speeches that Mr. Bynum, demc- erat, of Indiana, used language which the House decided was unparliamentary. Gen. Cuteheon of Michigan immediately after the remark sprang to his feet and demanaed that the language of the Indiana man be faken down. The House was in an uproar, end it took all the force which the Speaker, “Mir. Reed, could command to keep order. © All day there was a wrangle, and finally fendea by the House voting a censure upon Dir. Bynum. The entire democratic side Towded down into the aisle when the peaker pronounced ti censure. Bayne fterward made a speech, in which he cut ain into the Indiana member, but it was understood that both afterward disavowed any personal hostility to each other, as re- _ were current that both were inclined o carry the matter further than the pro- ings in the House. Some close personal friends of Mr. Bayne y that he always entertained a fear that @ would die of consumption. Members of his family had ben stricken by that disease, and lt is supposed that to avoid its long wuffering he shot himself. Representative Burrows, who served with | chim on the ways and means committee, | ‘pays that Mr. Bayne did particularly val-| able service in the preparation of the Mc- ‘Kinley bill, and was also a close student of “Biscal subjects. \ Representative Payne of New York re- that the knowledge of Mr. Bayne upon manufactures of Pennsylvania and the and chemical schedule was particu- rly serviceable to the committee. ‘The House Shocked. ‘fhe tragic death of ex-Representative Hayne was a terrible shock to his former | associztes in Congre: He was one of the @most popular men in Congress during the @everal terms he served. He was a warm- rted, generous man of very gentle and amiable manner. Though a keen politician and a gcod debater and an earnest partisan, he was almost as popular on the other side of the House as he was among members of his own party. He served in the House Twom ‘78 until the close of the Fifty-first fess, and could have remained in the use to this time had he so desired. in the performance of his duties in Con- gress be was always a capable and consci- entious worker. During the Fifty-first Con- gress he was on the ways and means com. Mittee and aided in the construction of the McKinley tariff bill. Before that time his committee work was chiefly relating to rivers and harbors. Mr. Reed, in speaking of him today, said: “I am much shocked at the news of Mr. Bayne’s death. He was one of the truest and most upright men I ever knew. He was @ most useful member and his state owed him much. No man had stronger friends or deserved them more.” Congressman Oates of Alabama was one of Col. Bbayne’s warmest friends in Con- gress. Col. Oates lost his arm at Freder- fcksburg while facing Col. Bayne's regi- ment. and this fact seemed to cement the friendship between them when they found themselves in Congress together. Col. Oates was very much affected today by th news of Col. Bayne’s death, and seemed to take {t very much to heart. Congressman Hatch of Missouri, al- though a political opponent of Mr. Bayne, has always been a warm friend, and said today that his relations with Mr. Bayne, Both socially und officially, had been of the Pleasantest nature. Mr. Bayne was a man of kindly disposition, he said, and possessed Many qualities of heart and mind. He was & man who would make friends everywhere and his untimely death comes as a sad_ blow. A BIG COAL SLIDE. Four hundred tons of coal broke from its! frail supports at the yard of Charles Wer- ner on G street between North Capitol and! 1st street, east, shortly before 12 o'clock to-| day, and came very near killing several children who were playing in the vicinity. Luckily, however, no one was hurt, a though it is wonderful how the children es caped. The coal was banked up nearly thirty feet high, adjoining house No. 62 G! street, and was inclosed by a small layer of | cord wood stretched across the pile. A wa-| gon occupies a position in front of the Yara, and here children were wont to play} during the day } This morning, however, they fofsook the| wagon for some reason or other, and were | playing around it when the crash came. One hittle girl heard the rumbling. and warned her companions, who ran with all their might to the street, barely escapin: the coal slide, which completely demolish the wagon and covered the sidewalk. It was thought at first that several children were buried under the heap, and women ran crying to and.frg until their missing ones, who were now thoroughly frightened, appeared. Mrs. J. M. Holforan, who Ives at No. 64 G street northeast, heard the coal when it broke from its ‘supports. She said it sounded like a clap of thunder. For some time she, as well as the neighbors in the vicinity, had been fearful lest this monster pile of coal should fall. It has been piled as high as the houses and was only protected in front by a layer ef pine cordwood. So anxious had she be- come that day before yesterday she noti- fied Officers Gordon and Brady that the place was dangerous. She afterward called on Mr. Werner, the proprietor of the place, and laid the matter before him, but recelv- €@ no satisfaction. Mrs. Etta Hughes was passing the yard at the time the coal fell, and barely escaped. The people in the neighborhood say that Place has teen in a dangerous condition for some time and they have repeatedly protest- ed against it, but to no avail. There ts absolutely no law in the District of Columbia bearing on this subject, but the | Commissioners will take the matter up at the next meeting of the board and prob- ably pass a regulation. This afternoon Building Inspector Entwisle was sent to make a full report. —__ HOLY CROSS ACADEMY. Janitor Commencement Last Evening— Display of Art Work.

An Interesting Case Decided by the Court of Appeals. | Among the decisions rendered by the Court of Appeals yesterday afternoon was ttat of Williamanna Loring, appellant, vs. Hannah M. Bartlett, appellee. The decision was one long and anxiously awaited by the bar, and it is one of unusual interest and importance to the whole people of the Dis-_ trict, especially so to owners of and dealers — in real estate here. October 5, 1891, Hannah M. Bartlett made, @ mortgage or deed of trust of certain real | estate here to Brown and Edmonson, trus- | tees, to secure a loan obtained from the| American Security and Trust Company, | The deed was in the usual form, and au-| thorized the trustees, in default of the promissory notes or interest thereon, to sell | the property, after ten days’ notice, at pub- | Me auction, The deed aiso contained the! customary clause granting to the mort-| gagor the possession and enjoyment of the} property until default. Default was made by the mortgagor, Han- nah M. Bartlett, and thereupon the trustees | sold the property to Williamanna Loring. A | notice of thirty days was then given by her, | as purchaser, requiring possession of the! property to be surrendered to her at the expiration of that period. That notice was not heeded or complied with, and applica- | tion to the justice of the peace was made by the purchaser under the trustees’ sale for the summary ejectment of the mortgagor, Hannah M. Bartlett. ‘That the justice of the peacewas proceed- ing to do, when he was required by a writ of certiorari to return his proceedings into the special term of the court below. A mo-| tion to quash the writ was there made, | which motion was overruied. !

Legislatiog Has Been Limited on Ac- eount of the Teriff Bill and a Depleted Treasury. ‘The limited number of bills introduced and jaws enacted by the present Congress is almost without precedent. Up to today but elghty-tive public measures have been enacted into law and the private laws are Umited to the unprecedented number of | eighteen. he whole mumber of bills in-/} troduced in the House up to date is 7,433, Which ts far below the average. Of these | 1086 have been reported, which is also far | below the usual number at this date. The| falling off of bills, reports, &e., has oeen so great that it has been one of the main causes for recent wholesale reduction of force in the government printing office. It is sald that the former pubiic printer, Mr. Palmer, established his force with the ex- pectation that the amount of work to be dene by this Congress would keep pace | with that of former Congresses, and that this im part accounts for the large sur plus of help Public Printer Benedict found | when he recently assumed charge ‘The large falung off in gener..: legistatton is attributed to the centering of interest’ in the tari, and to the depleted condition of the trea Senators and members have to press bills for public buildings and other appropriations in view of the stringency at the treasury, and they have refrained from introducing or urging private measures. At present there are 425 private bills on the House calendar awaiting a hearing, which is in marked contrast with the eighteen private meas- ures which have become laws. Owing to delays and objections of various kinds only two private penston bills have got through the House and become laws. As a rule, the | private pension acts are so numerous that | the total of private bills is very large: The House calendar up to date is cle&r of all appropriation bills, except the sde- ficiency and the Indian, ‘the latter being ‘about to pass; There are, however, J30 im- portant general bills awaiting a ‘hearing, and 85 bills of a general character not carrying an appropriation. Of the. more important measures languishing on the House calendar are those to adinit New Mexico and Oklahoma to statehood, to send @ congressional commission to examine the Nicaragua canal route, to finally adfudt- cate swamp land grants, to permit pensions to non-residents, to establish consular t!- spection of Immigrants, to investigate the ef- fect of machinery on labor,to investigate the wages of women and children, to construct | canals from Lake Superior to the Missis- sipp! river, and from Lake Erie to the Ohio river, to prohibit dealings in options, to promote the efficiency of the naval militia, to establish a uniform bankruptey 8! and to aid the southern cotton exposition. Quite a number of these bills will get a_ hearing, but the number to be interrupted | by adjournment will be exceptionally large. DISTRICT GOVERNM rT Renting Carpets. Health Officer Hammett's recommenda- tion to the Commissioners that the shaking of carpets within 300 feet of buildings be prohibited is now assured to become a po- lice regulation. The heaith officer, in his letter to the Commissioners bearing on his | recommendation, stated that he was of the opinion that contagious and other diseases | may be disseminated by the shaking and | beating of carpets. 7 The Commissioners referred the matter to the attorney for the District for his, consid~| eration and advice. ‘That official taday. sent! the Commissioners the draft of a yegula- tion, which, he says, shouid be placed some- where in article § of the police regulations. | “In that event,” he states, “I would ave it read thus: ‘No person shall shake, beat or | otherwise cleanse any carpet upon any street, avenue, park, lot or square within the District of Columbia within 300 feet of | any dwelling house or public building.’ ” Pavorably Reported, House bill 4701 to incorporate the Su- preme Lodge of Knights of Pythias has been favorably reported on by the attorney for the district. ‘This bill passed the House of Representatives May 24 last and was referred by the Commissioners to the ‘at- torney for consideration, < The Pump Stay ‘The pump on Caroline street will stay, and, as this is the decree of the Commis. sioners, there is happiness in the souls: of the residents of «hat thoroughfare. 1d- vard Chapman recently asked the Com- missioners to remove the pump, stating that it had become a nuisance. ‘There was indignation immediately when the resi denis heard of this request, George -W: Davis championed the cause of the resi- dent and his arguments were so per- svasive that the oflictals notified Mr. Chap- man that the water im the well had been found uncontaminated and for the pres- ent it would not be closed. —_— MANUAL TRAINING EXHIBITION. The Work Done by the Public School, Pupils. : ‘With the closing of the public schools the annual exhibition of the work accomplished during the past year in manual training is now in order. The instructors in that par- ticular branch of free education state that by far more interest has been taken in the work by the pupils since the opening of the school year in September than ever before in the history of the public schools of Washington since the manual training fea-| ture was introduced. The High School | course in manual training {s especially adapted for those boys who intend to take up scientific or engineering work in higher | Institutions. Many of the Hixh. School | graduates have already won high ranic in their advanced work in these lines, and! they attribute a good share of theig success to the course in shop practice in. this As an example of the interest displayed in the work, it is worthy of mention that many students of the Central High School so arranged their studies that six hours | per week, instead of two, might be spent in| the shops. ; _ parents of the pupils, as a general! rule, possess a very crude idea of the worl: | being done, and the main reason’ for hold- ing the exhibition is to provide such ‘per- | Sch ail opportunity to make an inspection | of the results accomplished by their sons./ Monday next, from 9 a.m. to > p.miis-will be! sitors’ day at the Manual Training School, { 6 O street northwest. The shops, in them: selves, will prove of interest to those who have never Visited them. The most interesting product of the year is a three-he ne, the work of boys of the th year classes of the Central High School. “The engine has been connected with the shop boiler | and will be seen in operation on Monday. | Another interesting product, though not quite completed. owing to lack of time, 1g a six-light dynamo. An exa tion and inspection of the work of the classes in draughting, wood-turning, paitern-making, forging and machine work,2s well as spec!- mens of joinery and cabinet making, which comprises the bench work of the seventh and eighth grades, may be made. The permanent exhibition of manual training work ja the hall of the Franklin | School building Is being put in shape, and | new work added to show the development that has been made during the year.

The charge against the men has been changed from assault to rape, owing to later statements made by the girl. The girl is still very much shaken up physically, her nerves being tested to their utmost. It is claimed by the officers who made the arrést that the violent assaults were not made on the spur of the moment, but that | the crowd followed the girl and her com- panion, Dickerson, for some time, with the assault in view, only waiting until {t would | grow darker or a more secluded spot be} reached, With the Assault —_—-.

Had Taken a Drug Given Her by a} Woman—The Grief-Stricken Hus- | band and Mother. Last night a young married woman, | twenty-four years of age, by the name of | Mrs. Belle F. Shipior, died at Garfield Hos- | pital under circumstances that were mys-| terious, to say the least. She was taken to! the hospital yesterday afternoon from the | 1011 M street, where she boarded with her husband, and at % o'clock an oper- ation was performed upon her by Dr. Fry, with the assistance of several of the lead- ing physicians in town. It was realized that this was the only hope of saving her life, but this proved of no avail, for she sank steadily and died at midnight without divulging to anyone the circumstances which led to her death. Mr, A. A, Birney, the district attorney, was summoned to take her anti-mortem statement, but he arrived at the hospital too late, as she was then unconscious. She passed away without a word, and her secret died with her. It is thought by the physicians in the case that the young woran was suffering from the results of an abortion committed upon her, but this is aln.ost impossible of proof. The first reputable physician who took up the case was Dr. Little, whom she visited last Monday, sayirg that she was suffering from malaria, attended with severe pains about the body. Her real condition was not then evident. Her case became more seri- ous on Tuesday, ond she afterward admit- ted to the physician that a drug had been administered to her, such as is usually used in bringing about an abortion. She told Dr. Little that this drug was given to her by a lady, but she refused stoutly to give away the name of the person from whom she had learned of its qualities. Whether | this unknown woman gave it to her or, whether she took it herself will never be known. Curiously enough, the medical ex- amination has not even revealed whether or not the young woman was pregnant at the time of taking the drug. The Bereaved Husband. The unfortunate girl, for she was hardly more than that In years and in appearance, | had only been married about seven weeks, ; the wedding ceremony being performed in | this city on April 24, by Rev. Dr. Sunder- | land. She came here from Newark, N. J., but her husband, W. O. Shiplor, is a Texan, | of good appearance, and well known to the congressional delegation from Texas. He was formerly gonnected with the post office at El Paso, alid was in this city with the expectation of securing a government clerkship. Since their marriage they had occupied a suite of apartments in the big M street boarding house, where Mrs. Ship- lor made a most favorable impression. She was a very slight and delicate girl, weigh- ing only ninety-five pounds, and had been in wretched health for some time past. It was hoped that a change of climate, how- ever, would benefit her. No suspicions of any sort are entertained that she was misled before marriage, and the only sup- position is that fearing the results of child- birth and being young and inexperienced she sought the advice of some older woman. It was entirely without the knowledge of her husband, who fold a Star reporter thiz morning that his wife could not even have known the name or nature of the drug which she is alleged to have taken. Mr. Shiplor was greatly overcome by the sad termination of his brief honeymoon. | as was aiso the young wife's mother, Mrs. | Luneschloss, who reached this city a little before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The latter insisted that her daughter had sut- fered from jaundice and enlargement of the liver, from which Mr. Luneschloss had also | died. Both of them denied that there could be any truth in the story that the young women was In any way responsible for what resulted in her death. This morning the husband and mother were occupied in packing the belongings which the young girl had left behind, preparatory to taking the body back to w Jersey. It is in- tended to have the interment at Rahway. As they put back the dainty articles that go to make up a bride's trousseau they were utterly unnerved by their sad task. Coroner Woodward viewed the remains at Garfield Hospital this morning and de- cided that an inquest was necessary under | the circumstances, although it ts not thought that anytiing more Is likely to be discovered. Detective Weedon was put up- on the case this morning. Dr. Woodward told Mr. Shiplor this morning that be would swear a coroner's jury, 80 that they migtt view the remains without delcy, os the family are anxious to take the body home this evening. | The inquest will be held this afternoon |}! at 4 o'clock at the eighth precinct station. | Both the mother and husband of the dead girl deny vehemently that there was any- thing suspicious or irregular in her death, and they were shocked beyond measure at | the story that she had died from the after- | a story which they characterized as a base fabrica- tion. a ROCKVILLES POST A FORFEIT. Eager to Play the Alexandria Nine— The Recent Game. Mr. James Kelchner, the captain of the Reckville Base Ball Club, writes to The) Star, taking exceptions to the account ap-)| pearing in the Alexandria correspondence of the recent game of ball between the/ Alexandria and Rockville teams. Accord-/ ing to Mr. Kelchner, the contested point in the game was a decision made by one of the umptres, Mr. Veirs, at the home plate. Mr. Keichner says that Mr. Veirs was the umpire for all such decisions, and that Mr. Wentzel made the decisions in outfield. He also states that at the time the dispute arose the score stood 11 to 8 in favor of the Maryland team, and that on the re- fusal of the Alexandria team to continue to play the game was ewarded by Mr. Veirs to the Rockville club, In reply to the challenge from the Alex- andria management to play the game again on some neutral point, Mr, Kelchner says that his team will play the Alexandria club at the National Park, Washington, on Saturday, June 30, for a purse of $150. The Rockville club has posted $20 at The Star office as a forfeit for this game. This amount, according to the agreement, is to be kept posted until Saturday, June 2%, at % | bi 12 o'clock. iti eimai The Fencibles’ Benefit. | All arrangements are completed for the testimonial benefit to the National Fencibles | to be given at the Academy of Music on Monday night next, The members of the command have been diligently engaged in isposing of the tickets, and it is believed that the attendance will fully test the ca- pacity of that popular place of amusement. ‘rhe program, it is claimed, is one of the best, if not the very best, that was ever of- fered to the public on such an occasion. | We Shot in the Leg. | William Berry, a colored bootblack who has a chair on New Jersey avenue opposite the Baltimore and Ohio depot, and who en- joys the reputation among policemen of being a “scrapper,” met his match last, night, and now he ts suffering from the ef-/ fects of a pistul shot wound of the leg. He) was under the influence of liquor last night and about 10 o’ciock he went over tu the saloon kept by William H. Lee, a big col-/| ored man, on C street, and created a dis- turbance. Scme time ago Berry went wo the same saloon and was given orders not to | return there on account of his conduct, and it was only a few days ago that he aguin went there. When he entered the place last night, he walked through the bar and en- tered’ the dining room, where several fe- males were seated. His language was not at all proper, and the proprietor reasoned | with him to get him to behave himself. But his conduct got worse, instead of better, and his language toward the proprietor and his family was of an exceedingly indecent na- ture. Then it was that the proprietor en- deavored to make him leave the place. Berry had no idea of leaving, and instead throat and was choking him,when the latter took a pistol and put a bullet in his leg to get rid of him. The wounded man was sent to the Emergency Hospital by the police. This morning the saloon keeper surrendered to Detective Lacy and gave bond for his appearance in court. ————— Designs of Government Buildings.

FINANCE AND TRADE! seein Speculation Oonfined to Sugar and Chicago Gas. INTEREST IN THESE TWO LESS ACTI Increase in Loans Shown by the Bank Statement. en GENERAL MARKET REPORTS selena Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, June 16.—The speculative situation developed no new features today, the stock markct remaining extremely dul! and very narrow, fully two-thirds of the day's business being in Sugar and Chicago Gas, and the interest even in these was less active than usual. Sugar opened at 97 3-4, advanced to ¥8 1-8, and then went back to 97 1-5, at about which figure it held during most of the short session, advancing sud- |denly after the appearance of the bank statement to 95 1-4, where it closed. Chicago Gas received good support from the opening from the pool that has been at work in it for a long time, and after hesi- tating, in sympathy with Sugar for @ short lime, it was taken in hand, and advanced sharply to 78 5-S, receding fractionally, and closing strong at 78. In the railroad list nothing can be said. Trading in the different shares is practi. cally at a standstill. To better illustrate the condition of things here, the following taik with one of the oldest and most conserva- live brokers on the floor will tell the tale. In answer to a query as to his opinion on the market he said: ‘Our market here is the narrowest 1 have ever had anything to do with. Business is entirely contined to Sugar and C certiticates. From the way stocks closed 1 should say that they would be somewhat higher carly in the week, but i do not feel at all bujish on the situation. 1 am sorry the market does not warrant my giving | Something more pronounced to go by.” The bank statement was received differently and 18 as follows: Keserve, de- crease, $541,615; loans, increase, $320,100. specie, decrease, $545,400; legals, decrease, $4.00; deposits, decrease, $396,500, circu- lation, decrease, $80,500. An analysis of the above statement shows ual degree. The banks have lost only $640.00) in cash, “hich is surprising, considering that » large part of the gold shipped last week end the bulk of that exported this week are factors In the statement. Withdrawals on that account have been offset by receipts of cash from the interior. The increase ia icans, while small, is gratifying. There is nothing to be said about close of the stock market. in- the The strength of Sugar, Chicago Gas and the other indus- triais less active will probably carry the list highe- next week. These stocks are s9 strongly held that no material or perma nent setback in them is probable Just now. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
