In reply to the request of the county com- missioners for troops to drive the “indus- trials" at Rosslyn back into the District line, Sheriff R. A. Veitch yesterday re- ceived the following communication: “I am in receipt of the resolution adopted by the board of supervisors of Alexandria county requesting me to remove the com- monweclers now encamped at Rosslyn, set- ting forth that they are without means and are a menace to al! the people of the county, and that the county authorities are unable to cope with them. I shall be glad to know to what extent these people have become a menace to the people cf the community. What steps have taken in the matter and to have any suggestion from you that you may see proper. Reply at once. Very respectfully, C. H. O'FER- RALL, Governor.” The sheriff replied to the effect that no action had been taken further than the communication to him, owing to the fact that the law authorizes the authorities to deal with the men as vagrants, but as the number -of men at Rosslyn is so large no jail accommodations could be found for as many as one-third of them, consequently it would be impractica- ble to pursue that course. Further con- sultations of the county and state authori- ties will be held with a view to disposing of the perplexing question.

ASSASSINS FOILED|FOR THE FIREMEN San Domingo’s President Threat- ened by a Conspiracy. PERSONS OVERCOME BY MINE DAMP A. R. U. in California Declare the Strike Off. THE SMOKELESS COAL SAN DOMINGO’S PRESIDENT. Death of the Man Who Attempted His Life, NEW YORK, July 27.—The steamer Sagi- naw, which arrived today from San Do- mingo, brings details of a recent attempt to assassinate President Hereaux. It ap- pears that some twelve or more persons were implicated in the plot. Their plans were, however, made known to the presi- dent, who took prompt measures and ar- rested the conspirators. Bobadella, the jeader, who three times previously attempt- ed the president's life, was shot on July 15. One was imprisoned, and the remainder allowed to go free. Bobadella had previous- ly been granted several favors at the hands of Hereaux, who got him a position in a mercantile house at San Domingo City. >. NKNOWN HEIR Appears and Makes a Claim to an Entate, BELOIT, Wis., July 27.—A romantic story has come to light. A short time ago David T. Miller and his wife, Mary A. Miller, died within two months of each other. They left no children, but had accumulated an estate. Mr. Miller died intestate; thus, under the law, leaving all the estate to his wife. Prior to her death Mrs. Miller had been appointed administratrix- of the estate. Mrs. Miller died intestate, her next kin to whom the es- tate would descend, as it was understood, being Mrs. Frances lL. Campbell of Canton, Ohio, and Miss Henn Bement of Denver, Colo. No other claimant appearing upon the scene the court was petitioned by the prop- er parties for the administration of the two estates, and, after due notice, Mr. J. B. Dew, having filed bonds in accordance with the requirements of the court, was appoint- ed administrator of the estate. ‘The above are the facts—the romance came later. Two gentiemen called at the office of Mr. Dow, were introduced as rela- lives—one of them Mr. E. M. Whitford, an attorney of Hastings, and the other Mr. Frank W. Finch, alias Holmes, nephew of Mary A. Milter, He said he left Beloit some thirty-eight years ago. His father, Mordecai Holmes, was a brother of Mrs. Miller, whose maiden name was Anna Holmes. His father died in i856 at Hastirgs, Minn., and his mother was married again to Dr. J. E. Finch. Being a boy at the time, young Holmes came to be considered a Finch and, srowing to manhood, adopted that name, and had no special reason for assuming his own name until, some two weeks since, he earned that his aunt in Beloit, Mrs. } A. Miller, had died intestate and idles, He claims half the estate, worth $40,000. —o——_- AN SMOKE! a88 COAL, Result of a Test of a West Virginia Product. CHICAGO, July 27.—City Engineer Art- ingsall has submitted his official report. of the test made at the North Side pumping station of the West Virginia coal which is said to be smokeless. ‘The test was made for twelve hours, and during that time 13,- 000 pounds of the coal was consumed, leay- ing 4.47 per cent of ashes. The evaporating qualities of the coal are reported to be great. The report says that the coal is practically smokeless. Commissioner Jones says that the coal will probably be bought for use by the city, the bid for it ts $3.85, as against $5.18, the lowest bid for anthra- cite. The difference, if the new coal is ac- cepted, will result in a saving of $4,000 to $5,000 a year, not to mention the saving due from perfect combustion and absence of smoke losses. ——— LABOR MOVEMENTS. A Strike Declared Off of Interest. WEST OAKLAND, Cal. July 27.—The local branch of the A. R. U. voted last night to declare the strike off. A resolution to that effect was passed after a heated debate, the vote standing 187 for and 146 against. ‘the meeting last- ed until midnight and was very stormy in character. Both sides battled with energy and determination. As a result some ill feeling was aroused, After the division an exciting scene en- sued. Cheer after cheer broke forth from the opposing elements. Chairs anid benches = upset and general confusion pre- valled. Other licms Strikers Sentenced. Judge Riner, in the A. P. U. strike cases at Cheyenne, Wyo., yesterday, sentenced Thomas King of Rock Springs to twenty days’ imprisonment for threatening to hang an engineer and fireman unless they quit work; Nick Bucher of Green River to im- prisonment for thirty days for assaulting a fireman; C. R. Miller and William Embrey of Cheyenne to imprisonment for one day and a fine of $15 each, respectively, for at- tempting to induce an employe to stop work, A. R. U. Strike. At a2 meeting of Local Lodge, No. 16, A. R. U., in Denver yesterday, 850 members present, it was decided to declare the strike off. This step was taken because it was thought more strikers could regain their positions than if the matter should be post- poned to a later day. ——— OVERCOME BY MINE DAMP. A Ball Followed Into an Abandoned Shaft With Fatal Results. STREATOR, Il, July 27.—While come boys were playing ball in the southern part of the city their ball suddenly disappeared in a sink hole over an abandoned coal mine. One of the boys named Goldschmid went after it. As he did not return, the other boys went to the sink hole and could see him lying at the bottom. They called a young man named John Munn, aged nineteen years, and he jumped into the hole to assist Goldschmid. He, too, feil to the ground, and then it was discovered that the boys in the sink hole hed been overcome by black damp from the abandoned mine. Michael Irgang and Henry Oster, who were near by, were summoned and they also jumped into the hole. A general alarm was given by sending in a fire alarm, and by using lad- ders the crowd which had assembled suc- ceeded in bringing all except Goldschmid to the top. Munn was dead, and Oster was so badly overcome that it is feared he cannot recover. He was taken to the hospital. The search for the body of young Goldschmid continues, and it is thought his body may have fallen into the mine. —_——-- A FRENCH DUEL, A Deputy Wounded in the Cheek by a Newspaper Publisher. PARIS, July 27.—A duel with swords was fought this morning between M. Paul Des- chanel, a member of the chamber of depu- ties, and the publisher of La Justice. M. Deschanel was wounded in the cheek. The duel was on account of an article published in La Justice, which M. Deschanel claimed was an insulting reply to a speech made by him in the chamber of deputies during the discussion of the government's anti-an- archist bill. cemeencealpienae Large Hail Stones, LOCK HAVEN, Pa., July 27.—The heav- jest hail storm of years passed over thi: section last evening. The hall descended steadily for fifteen minutes, many of th~ il stones being as large as hickory nuts.

Heywood Tenders the Services of the Mariiie Baha. e A Concert to Be Given for the Benefit of the Families of the Dead Heroes, i —— The response to the appeal of The Star for aid in behalf of the families of the dead firemen has been very generous, as the list of contributions already. published will in- dicate. That organized bodies as well as indi- viduals are interested in this matter is proved by the following letter, which was this morning received from Col. Charles Heywood, commanding the U. S. marine corps, addressed to the editor of The Even- ing Star: < “The band of the U. S. marine corps has informed me, through its leader, that. it desires to volunteer its services for the benefit of the families of the firemen who Jost their lives in Wednesday's fire. “This prompt and generous offer on the part of these men meets with my hearty approval, and should the condition of the fumilies of these brave members of the fire ment of the District of Columbia, met sueh an untimely death in the ormance of duty, render it necessary to an entertainment for their benefi the honor to place at your dispos: services of the band for that purpose. Subsequently Prof. Fanciulli, the leader of the Marine Band, called at The Star office and told of the offer that the band had made of their services to Col. Hey- wood, and of an order that had been read at the rehearsal this morning from that officer commending: their prompt generos- ity, and saying that the matter had been referred to the editor of The Evening Star. Prof. Fanciulli spoke of the heartiness with which the members of the band ex- pressed their willingness to do what lay in their power to swell the fund already start- ed, and said that his force would be ready at any time that might be fixed for a con- cert. Mr. W. W. Rapley has generously tender- ed the use of the Academy of Music, and it is probable that the concert will take place on next Wednesday night. Manager Allen’s Offer. The summer season at Albaugh's will close with this week in order to enable Manager Allen to make some desired im- provements in the theater before the regu- lar season. In times of need there are no people more charitably disposed than those connected with the theatrical profession, and again they have stepped to the fore. This time it comes in the form of a big benefit’ tomorrow evening at Albaugh’s, when one-half of the gross receipts of the performance will be turned over to the fund for the relief of the families of the firemen. lost their lives in the big fire Wednes- er Alien’s letter to Chief Parris follows: to tender to the families of the de- firemen who lost their lives at the aif of the gross receipts of the performance of the midsummer show, to take place Saturday evening, July 2s, 184. 1 should be pleased to have you del- egate some one to take charge of the mat- ter on behalf of thé’benéiiciaries. To this Chief Parsis sent the following reply: cow in’ reply to your aver of this date, in which you kindly sete ghat_you will give one-half the gross receipts of the midsum- mer show ormifice "Saturday evening, July 28, for the benbkfitbf the families of ey. Whp lost their lives in the recent fire, I beg,to accept your offer on behalf of these to bé befletited, and appoint Mr. Henry Ash to tepresent them. ‘Manager Alien says that the death of two of the firemen gfiecged him quite deep- ly, for Mastin and O'Donoghue were the two men who worked heroically at the time of the fire in the latindry next to the opera house, and by their ‘efforts saved the new lobby, which was then in course of con- struction, frum being destroyed. > GOT PEAR CIDER. However, iy Like Beer. “Wine House” Keeper Frederick Rose, whose plac2 is in the county om the Glen- wood road, only a short distance this side ef the Scldiers’ Home and the Catholic Uni- versity, was a defendant in the Police Court this morning, the charge against him being that of keeping an unlicensed bar. The suc- cessful prosecution against Mrs. Arnold, who sells nothing but wine made of grapes grown op her place, gave notice to the keepers of these places, as well as to the police that they would not longer dispense the red wine without violating the law. Policeman Matthews, on whose beat Rose resides, made an investigation of the case and summoned just twelve witnesses, who Tad been in the ‘place. Samuel Davis was among the number, and he was the first one called by Mr. Pugh. He had been at the defendant’s place and had indulged in at least one bottle of what was labeled “Pear Cider.” The witness was perfectly willing to believe that it was pear cider that he drank, and the court questioned him closely about the liquid. He aid he was a beer drinker and knew the taste of beer, but concerning this particular article he was not willing to swear, and Judge Miller ordered bim off the stand, say- ing he would not accept his testimony one way or the other. Then a young man named MeKerricher Was cailed. He had been in the “Wine House” and had called for “Pear Cider.” According to his testimony he got it, and he also said he liked it. While he did not want to say it was beer, he really thought it was. It had every appearance of beer. Other witn S were called, and some of them were frank enough to say they got beer, although “Pear Cider” was on the rottle. One man said he got two drinks of whisky, and also got a bottle of “fire-wa- ter” to carry away with him. Lawyer Tobriner, who represented the de- fense, called no witnesses, and the court held his client guilty. Judge Miller wanted to know if Rose had ever been convicted before, and counsel said he had not, although there had been several charges against him. The court thereupon imposed a fine of $400 and costs, >—- DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Medical Bill. The Commissioners have recommended the early enactment of H. R. bill 7661, “To regulate the practice of medicine and sur- gery and to license physicians in the Dis- trict of Columbia, and for other purposes.” The bill was prepared by the Medical So- ciety of the District after consultation with the Commissioners, and was reviewed by the attorney for the District. The general necessity for the leg#latlon proposed in the bill is aT Fo in the A Small Coimyfnsation. Referring to the claim of Mr. Charles S.

CHARACTER Re. eee Equally Solemn Rites Over O’Don- oghue and Mastin. EULOGIZED SINCERE MOURNING The funeral of the late Michael Reuben Fenton, the heroic young fireman who lost his life in the disastrous conflagration at Knox's warehouse, took place this morning. Brief services were conducted by the Rev. Father Michael A. McFeely at the late resi- dence of the deceased, 252 131-2 street southwest, after which the remains were conveyed to St. Dominic's Church, .where solemn requiem mass was celebrated by Father MeFeely, assisted by Rev. Father Hugh F. Lilly as deacon and Rey. Father John A, Hinch, subdeacon. The friends of the dead man began to gather in the edifice some time before the funeral party arrived, and the main body of the church was pretty fully occupied, the larger proportion of those present being ladies. A Sad Scene. When the casket was borne down the main aisle by six stalwart comrades of the deceased the sobs of the heart-broken sis- ters who followed the coffin mingled with the dirge the organ was mournfully mur- muring, making the scene sad beyond ex- pression. When the mourners and congre- gation were seated and the celebration of the mass begun it was ‘mpossible for the dead man’s sisters to restrain their emo- tion. They were constantly on the verge of being prostrated, but kind friends warded this condition off by the steady application of restoratives. The coffin of mahogany, richly and heavily trimmed with silver, re- posed in the center aisle. It was almost completely hid from view by exquisite floral remembrances, while many large pieces rested against the communion ‘ail and the pews. Striking among these was a large horse shoe, composed of white roses and purple immortelles, the latter of whic formed the words “H. S. Union, Ni This had been sent by the members of Horseshoers’ Union, No. 17, of which the dead fireman was a valued member. Dur- ing the mass the Gregorian requiem was sung by the choir and chorus, Miss Barbara Fisher presiding at the organ. ‘Fhe solos rendered were “Aye Maria,” by Miss Mollie Wright; ‘Jesus Be His Rest Eternal,” by Miss Blanche Wood, and “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” by Miss O'Connor. At’ the close of the mass the litany was chanted, and at its conclusion Father MeFeely came for- ward to the communion rail and delivered a sermon that will long be remembered for its striking impressiveness by those who listened to it. Father MeFeely’s Remarks. With a tender gesture toward the casket, he began, with touching inflection. “Well done, thou geod and faithful servant.” Such were the words, he said, that Jesus Christ had addressed to one who had done his duty in the past, and such were the words that the Savior would utter in the future to all who conducted themselves in this life in such a maner as to rve them. The occasion that had brought the congregation together was one of genuine se . "Every nian and every woman in Washington felt a pang of sorrow in their hearts forth herMic firemen whose remains were about io be returned to their original dust. The brave young man whose body lay in the coffin before him had imperiled his life to save the property of others, and he believed that such men were braver than those who went forth to fac2 the cannon’s mouth. After graphically depicting the dan- gers with which the life of the fireman 1s fraught, Fathe~ McFeely grew more impas- sioned. The men of the fire department,he de- clared, are unappreciated for their heroism by the public, and are not remunerated just- ly for the toil they perform or the perils they brave. Drores, idlers and laggards, he said, were salaried, oftentimes, far beyond their just deserts, but the men who hold their lives in their hands for the benefit of others were treated unfairly financially. Young Fenton's High Character. The priest then proceeded to eulogize the character of young Fenton. Seldom, from any pulpit, has such words of praise and appreciation fallen from a preacher's lips upon a similar occasion. The glowing sen: tences were evidently inspired not only by the gladness of the churchman over the knowledge, of a good life well spent, but rang with the fervor of friendship, as he de- scribed the estimable qualities of the de- ceased. It was nearly an apotheosis of the young man’s character. “He was a true young man,” said the priest, “but you knew him. I don’t need to tell you of his buoyant spirits; his winsome ways, his anxiety to ever have those around him happy and enjoying themselves, and in whose heart there flowed naught but the milk of human kindne: “He was a dutiful s loved mother, who nd the idol of a be- eceded him into the grave, and with wh. 4 his soul is now unit- ed in the kingdom happiness and love. It was well that he was so, and I wish that all young men of today would take his life as a pattern for their own. He wasn't a young man who loved to loiter on the street corners, to gamble or to drink to ex- cess. He loved his home, he loved his sis- ters, he doted on them, and in doing so he showed himself every inch a neble man. No man is worthy of the name of man who doesn’t love and honor his mother. No man is worthy of the name of man who doesn't love and henor and protect his sisters. In his religion he was as happy as he was in his home. He never held his head down in shame for the faith he professed, nor blushed to bend his Knees in penance, while he poured out his contrition to his God.” Father McFeely continued his eulogy for some moments, and the emotion of his au- ditors was intense. His peroration was de- livered with thrilling feeling. “For the dead man in that coffin,” he exclaimed, “the mother church has nothing but praise. Today she sings his requiem. Today e calls upon her God to shield that just soul. Borne to the Grave. At the conclusion of the sermon the coffin was again taken up by the pallbearers, who were William H. Webb and William H. Melchoir of engine company No. 7, George A. Maguire and Charles B. Proctor of en- ne company No. 4, and Foreman Charles Boss and Clark Farr of engine company No. 1, of which the dead man was a member. If the scenes at the commencement of the services were sad they were pathetically so when the funeral procession moved out of the edifice. The dead man’s sisters, in spite of the ministering attention of their devot- ed friends, tottered after the casket, sob- bing and mourning until their desolation seemed to extend itself to all who were there, and strong men, as well as their weaker companions, sobbed aloud. The funeral cortege proceeded to Mount Olivet cemetery, where the interment took place. Undertaker Lee had the arrangements in charge. Dennis O'Donoghue'’s Funeral. ‘The funeral of another of the heroes who lost their lives in the Knox fire took place this morning from the late home of the deceased on the Tenleytown road above Georgetown. There were many friends of brave Dennis O'Donoghue present to pay their last tribute of love and esteem to one who had been so dear to them. After short services for the dead were held at the resi- dence, the body was taken to St. Ann's Catholic Church, at Tenleytown, where the Rev. Fi er John M. Barry celebrated requiem mass and delivered a feeling ser- mon, in which he extolled the good qualities of the young man's character. At the con- clusion of the ceremony the remains were taken to Holy Rood cemetery, where the were interred. The pallbearers were As- sistant Chief Lewis P. Lowe, William Alters of engine company No. 1, Foreman John Welch and John Martin of engine company No. 9 and Daniel O'Connor, George F. Burga and W. T. Mahorney of engine com- pany No. 5.

The order is an amendment of an ¢xisting order, and its significant feateres are found in the designation of the interstate commerce act and the acts in aid of the Pacific railroads, in addition to the statute prohibiting vb- struction of the mails, as acts warranUng army officers in using troops.
