Mr. William Flinn died this morning at his residence, 120 C street northwest, in the seventy-sixth year of his age, having been born in Westmoreland county, Pa. in 1818. For many years he was prominent in the political and social circles of the middie Atlantic states. After completing his education he entered the newspaper business and at the age of twenty-five was editor of the Pittsburg Aurora. Subse- quently he came to Washington and enter- ed the departmental service, where he re- mained for some years. He was the warm personal friend of James Buchanan, who appointed him his private secretary when he was elected to the presidency. After- wards he was the agent of the United States navy in this city, and more recently held a position in the State Department He had a wide acquaintance among the men who have been prominent in the United States during the last fifty years, and enjoyed intimate relations of friendship with the late James G. Blaine. Mr. Flinn married a sister of the wife of John C. Reves, the publisher of the Congressional Globe. His widow with one daughter sur- vives him, and he also leaves a sister, Mrs. Harriet McCurdy, ——___ Sent Down for Stealing Milk. There is something attractive about the quality of the milk or the manner in which it is pul in glass jars by Dairyman J. W. Gregg, for the police have recently arrested @ number of colored boys for stealing jars of the fluld from the front doors of resi- dences. Gus Johnson was the last one caught. He went to a house at 17th and I streets about 5:30 o'clock this morning and walked away with a jar of the milk. Police- man Maddox roon ‘learned of what Gus had done, and when he started in pursuit of him the negro ran off. He was not gaining much on the fleeing negro, but a little pewsboy, who happened to be in the neigh- dorhcod at the time, put out his foot and landed Gus on the ground. Then the officer got him and locked him up. In Judge Mills’ court this morning Gus had no defense to make, and the judge gave him sixty days in jail. Gus had been suspected of being implicated in a similar theft some time ago. Another negro named William Johnson was tried on a similar offense committed some days ago, and he was given thirty days. ew His Terkey Diet. The last official commenication received by Dr. Hammett when he was health ofii- cer was a postal card. The card was writ- ten by T. H. Bropke, who was, at one time, @ temporary inspector in the health service, and he evidently wanted another chance to get some of Uncle Sam's cash. The postal reads: “Dear Doctor—My next Thanksgiving tur- key died a natural death at -ny residence, No. 317 A street northeast, at 4 o'clock this Pp. Please send end remove the body.

Last Feb- ruary, according to her story, her husband deserted her and left her to care for the child. She is in service, getting $6 a month ard her board, and she says she is unable to support the child. Today the case was called in the Police Court on a petition to turn over the child to the board of children’s guardians. Judge Mills heard the evidence of the woman and also a statement of an agent of the board of guardians, and said he thought the case did not come within the provisions of the law. The woman, he thought, should support her child, and dis- missed the petition, ~ ——___ Fined for Kicking. a Woman. A respectably dressed young prisoner named Harry S.

Station Keeper Conway of the seventh precinct witnessed a jump from the Aque- duet bridge to the river below yesterday afternoon that came near ending fatally. He had been to the commonweal camp and was returning toward Georgetown when @ passing woman cried, “Oh, Gon’t let him icmp, he'll kill himself.” Looking ahead, @ man was seen balancing himself on the bridge rail, immediately over the third pier from the Virginia end. The next instant the fellow threw himself far out. His de- Scent was unlike any of the jumpers who had preceded him. Instead of going down comparatively dicularly, he spun over the water with great force, and went out of sight. Mr, Conway rushed down the side of the hill at the Virginia end. There a small boat was found secured. With as- sistance it was gotten out, manned, and sent to the jumper, who by this time was seen feebly struggling to-keep himself above the water. The boat reached him just a5 the last effort was being made to preserve life. With some help the swimmer was en- abled to catch hold of the boat. He was partly on his back at the time, and too weak to turn over. He clung to the boat, though, and was pulled to the shore with the water évery moment splashing over his face.
