Denham died yesterday at his room in Mrs. Harding's boarding house, 219 2d street northwest, from the effects of a dose of morphine taken with suicidal intent. Deceased was only twenty-one years old, and had been a driver on the Belt line railroad. He came here from his home near Falls Church about a year ago, and soon after he got employment on the road he took unto himself a better half. When about six weeks ago he lost his place on the road he found himself unable to support his wife, and she left him, return- ing to her trade, dressmaking. They had lived at 221 2d street, but being unable to pay the rent, Denham surrendered the key and went to live in Mrs. Hardirg’s board- ing house. He became despondent, and be- ing unable to get work he concluded that life was-not worth living, and made up his mind to end his days on earth. There were two cthers who occupied the room in which he slept, and fearing they might detect him before death relieved him, he went Thurs- day evening and rented a room in a lodg- ing house two doors from Mrs. Harding's, evidently expecting to die there, but his sister called to see him before he took the fatal dose, and when he had finished talk- ing to her, he went to his own room and swallowed the morphine, after writing sev- eral notes. Yesterday morning he was un- conscious, and Dr. Tarkington, who was called, was unable to save his life. One of the notes was addressed to his wife, and its contents are known only to her. In another note he requests that when his wife dies her body be buried beside him. The body was taken to Lee’s undertaking establishment, and may be sent to Falls Church for interment. ——._—_ 3 - IN MEMORY OF ANTON FISCHER. Services Attended by a Large Con- course at Concordia Church. Memorial services were held last evening at Concordia Church, corner of 20th and G streets northwest, as a tribute to the late Anton Fischer, who was lost on the ill-fated Elbe. The attendance was large, and there was a heart-felt expression of sympathy with the grief-stricken widow and family, who were wholly unable to hold back their tears. The church was decorated tastefully with palms, ferns, reses and violets in great profusion. Baron A. Von Saurma-Jeltsch, the German am- bassador, was present, as were many prominent German-American residents of Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. ‘The Washington Lodge of Elks and the Armenian Lodge of Masons attended the services in a body. Rev. Dr. Cole of Epiphany Church offered prayer and Rev. W. E. Parson deliver2d the funeral address. Mr. Parson paid a high tribute to the personal worth and social gcod nature of the deceased, con- trasting the sad character of the present occasion to the happy time, four years ago, when Mr. Parson was present at Mr. Fischer's wedding. Dr. Cole followed Mr. Parson with an earnest and thought- ful address, in which he spoke of Mr. Fischer’s high character and many friends in the community where he was so well known. Rev. Mr. Drewitz of Concordia Church spoke in German, briefly paying an eloquent tribute to the deceased. The musical program embraced selections by Mrs. Cronau, Mrs. Naumann and Mr. Tur- pin. —_—.__. A Small Riot. Yesterday afternoon a telephone mes- sage was received at police headquarters asking that a squad of officers be sent to 2d and N streets, where there was a riot {n progress. “Several colored men’s heads have been cut,” said the person who telephoned the message, “and unless the fight is stopped gomebody will be killed.” A few minutes later the patrol wagon, with a number of officers, reached the mcene, and a boy named Charles Clements, whose head was cut, was found by the po- lice. The officers learned that a party of colored men and boys had been engaged in @ game of crap, and tke fight was occa- Bioned by a quarrel about the game. Warrants wil! be issued for a number of the participants, who will have to appear in the Police Court and stand trial. ——— A Limited Edition.

THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1895—TWENTY PAGES. RIGHTS OF THE ROAD Atterney Thomas Gives sa Gpinion on Railroad Obstructions, Effcrts to Have an “Underhead” Foot- way at the 6th Street Crossing— : No Existing Power. = The attorney for the District today ren- dered an important opinion to the Com- sioners with reference to the report of General Inspector Beggs on various cross- ings of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in this city, which was referred to him for opinion as to what steps under existing law can be taken to secure “an underhead footwalk” at the 6th street crossing in the northeast section of the city, where the tracks of this railroad are on an embank- ment, and whether if existing law and reg- ulations do not provide for the case, what regulations can be enforced concerning it. The matter was carefully examined, says the attorney, in view of its public import- ance as affecting life and limb. The police power, according to Attorney Thomas, in the District of Columbia is re- posed in Congress, except so far as it has been delegated by that body to the Com- missioners. Authority to regulate the movement of vehicles on the public streets and avenues of the city for the preservation of order and for the protection of life and limb would not, according to the attorney, au- thcrize the Commissioners to compel the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company to provide an underhead footwalk at its 6th street crossing, where the tracks are on an embankment. The words “movement of vehicles,” he says, is sufficiently comprehensive to in- clude the movement ef engines and cars on steam railroads, but they do not refer to railroad crossings. It is the duty of steam railrcad companies to use every reasonable precaution to prevent injury to travelers on the highway. He states if in the opera- tion of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad un- usual peril is presented to travelers at the 6th street crossing, the company should meet all such peril by corresponding pre- cautions; but this does not mean that the railroad company is to take every possible Precaution, as the law requires persons who cross railroad tracks to exercise or- dinary care to prevent injury. The Acts of Congress. By an act of Congress approved March 2, 1831, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- pany was authorized to extend a lateral branch of its road into the District to a point in this city east of 7th street west and north of North Capitol street, as the company should find ,best calculated to promote the objects of the road, provided, that whenever the company in the construc- tion of a railroad into or within the Dis- trict, as authorized by this act, should find it neces.ary to cross or intersect any established road, street or other way, it should be the duty of the company to so construct the railroad across any establish- ed road, street or other way as not to im- pede the passage or transportation of per- sons or property along its line, and that the level of the road within the city should conform to the present graduation of the streets. This legislation also authorized the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to cross 6th street northeast at its then grade, and placed it under legal duty to construct its road across that and other ‘Streets in a reasonable manner, with reference to the double use of the crossing for its own pur- pose and for public purpose. The company, says the attorney, is liable to individuals who use the highway. for injuries caused by defects aid obstructions created by it which could have been avoided by reason- able precaution, and if its crossings are constructed and maintained so as to “im- pede the passage or transportation of per- sons or property along the same,” then the company may be indicted for maintaining a public nuisance. While the statute provides for wagon- ways over the railroad where it crosses the land of a private individual, it imposes no duty vpon the company to maintain bridges over its crossings, or footways un- der.them, in the city. The records, accord- ing to the attorney, in the surveyor's of- fice, do not show whether the corporation of Washington in 1831 gave the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company tho grades of the streets crossed by its tracks or not. Matter of Grades. In 1859 the city government approved and adopted what.s known as Coyle grades, and it is not known whether these’ grades were prepared as early as 1831. The attorney assumes that before the railroad was built grades were given the company, and that it was built on grade at 6th 2nd I streets northeast. In 1870, by joint reso- lution of the city councils, the matter was called to the attention of Congress. The resolution stated that “The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company obstructs many of the streets in the vicinity of the Capitol by its depot and cars. The company refuses to conform the bed of their road to the established grades of the streets traversed and crossed by it, to the great inconveni- ence of the public and dumage to the public and private property.” It is also unknown whether the “established grades” referred to in this resolution were grades established prior to 1831 were the Coyle grades adopt- ed by the corporation of Washington in 1859, or were grades fixed by the corpora- tien between 1859 and 1870. The attorney concludes that while a foot- walk under the embankment on 6th street northeast would be safer and better for pedestrians than the present grade cross- ing, he is of the opinion that in the present state of the law the- Commissioners are without power to compel the construction of such a crossirg. Before the Commis- siorers can do this, he says, it will be necessary for Corgress either to require such a crossing or to confer power upon the Commissiorers to make such reasonable police regulations in respect to railroad crossings as may be necessary to prevent injury to the public or to private persons. ——.__ AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House.—The story of the “District Attorney,” which will be seen at the Grand Opera House next week, deals with John Stratton, a young lawyer, who has been raised by his political friends to the position of district attorney. He is in- dependent, energetic, honest. These char- acteristics do not please Matthew Brainard, his father-in-law, for he is one of the old school of politicians, who believes in feath- ering his nest. The district attorney’s wife informs him of a case which has wrongful- ly put a young “fellow behind prison bars for years and made a young woman miser- able for life. Helen Knight and Frank Pierson were lovers before the latter had been sent to Sing Sing, through a conspir- acy on the part of the “ring.” He had been @ messenger in the mayor's office, and was arrested on the charge of forging city war- rants. The real culprits, men high in office, offered him $50,000 if he only will plead guilty. In the office of the district attorney we are brought face to face with the false- ly imprisoned man, pale and haggard with long confinement, ‘and nervously awaiting the result of his investigation. One of Brainard’s accomplices having confessed, there is nothing left for the district- attor- ney to do but insi#t that his father-in-law make restitution of his ill-gotten gains, and the district attorney resigns his office to defend his father-in-law. The cast includes William Courtleigh, Frank Mordaunt, Geo. Fawcett, Odell Williams, Charles S. Abbe, Edward J. Morgan, Lawrence Eddinger, W. B. Smith, Harry E. Chase, Alfred Blackley, J. E. Coyne, T. E. Richmond, Annie Irish, Lizzie Hudson Collier, Adele Ritchie and Emma Stevens. New National Theater.—Mr. and Mrs. Kendall, the English players, will have an engagement at the New National Theater next week. From Monday until Thursday night, inclusive, they will give “Lady Clancarty,” on Friday night a new play, “A Leader of Men,” Saturday matinee, “The Second Mrs. Tanqueray,” and S: urday night, Sidney Grundy’s comedy, “A White Lie.” Academy of Music.—The attraction at the Academy of Music next week will be Neil Burgess’ “County Fair,” with Marie Bates in the leading role. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The attrac- tion at the Lyceum next week will be the Russell Brothers’ Comedians. This organi- zation Is headed by the Russell Brothers,and others whose names appear on the program areWhiting andShepard,the original comedy duo; Bonnie Thornton, the Mittle mascot; Will H. Fox, the famous piano electro- cutor, in his satirical creation of ‘Pade Ww ;” Hastings and Marion, in_ their {celebrated race scene, “The Road to Ruin;” O’Brien and Havel, the refined sketch artists, ard Willis Clark, the original Ethi- opian comedian. The performance will con- clude with the Russell Brothers’ farcical comedy, entitled “Clarice.” There will be matinees ‘Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. An Evening in Ireland—The 117th anni- versary of Robert Emmet, the patriot of Irish liberty, will be fittingly celebrated by the Irish-American Union tomorrow even- ing t Butler’s Bijou Theater. An unusu- ally interesting program has been prepar- ed, to open with an oration by Representa- tive James G. Maguire of California on “Ireland and Its Heroes,” to be followed with a concert by well-known singers of sacred music and Irish melodies, and the heroic drama, “Robert Emmet,” by the Geraldine Dramatle Club. The scenes of that period will be graphically enacted by the following well-known amateurs, under the direction of Mr. T. M. Hardy: Robert Emmet, M. F. Halloran; Darby O’Gaff, William H. Conly; O'Leary, J. S. Moral Dewdall, J. A. Stack; Kernan and O’Coi nor, T. J. Keady; Sergt. Topfall, Edwin Baker; Corpl. Thomas and Lord Norbury, George B. Miles; Sarah Curran, Mrs. M FP. Halloran; Judy O’Dougherty, Miss Katie E. Halloran; together with the soldiers, peasants, jury, etc., assisted by the Em- met Guard, under Capt. Walsh. The per- fcrmance will close with an exhibition drill by the Emmet Guard, the crack mili- tary company of Washington. “Ireland at Home and Abroad.”’—Tomor- row ac 8 p.m., at the Academy of Music, under the auspices of St. Vincent de Paul Society, Representative John T. Dunn of New Jersey will lecture for the benefit of the poor. on the subject of “Ireland at Home and Abroad.” The subject and the Purpose both appeal to the charitable in- stincts of all. Mr. Dunn is ex-speaker of the. house of delegates, and was for a time acting governor of the state of New Jer- sey, as well as a member of the present House of Representatives. Butler’s Bijou Theater.-The attraction for the Bijou Theater next week is the original Dan McCarthy in his latest and best effort, “Tne Pride of Mayo.” Mr. McCarthy is the author of “Cruiskeen Lawn,” “Dear trish Boy,” “True Irish Hearts,” “McCarthy’s Cat,” “The Blarrey Boy” and the “Rambler From Clare,” and all of them have been favorites with the theatrical public. But his latest work, “The Pride of Mayo,” is sup2rior to all others and will be much more popular. Mr. McCarthy has written a role for him- self which gives hitn scope to show his abilities as a singer and dancer, and will introduce many new and original songs. Miss Lou Ripley, the “colleen,” is the pos- sessor of all the requisites. Her voice is charming, her stage presence pretty and her work of high merit. Mrs. Winslow’s Readings.—Mrs. Erving Winslow of Boston, so favorably known in Washington, will give next week a series of readings in aid of Emergency Hosrital. Mrs. Winslow's rendering of authors, old and new, is always admirable, and the charity is one most important to the Dis- trict. The readings are at the Washington Club, at 3 o’clock, on the .fternoons of March 4, 6, 8 and 11. Tickets can be pur- chased of Mrs. Kerr, 1711 H street; Mrs. Hawkes, I7th street; Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, 1826 Massachusetts avenue; Mrs. Church, 1414 15th street, and at ‘Thompson's drug store. Mr. Fox’s Readings.—John Fox, jr., the young southern writer of mountaineer stories, reads from his own works for the first time in Washington, at Builders’ Ex- change Hall, next Friday evening. Read- ers of the Century are doubtless familiar with Mr. Fox's writings; his “A Cumber- land Vendetta,” published in that period- ical last summer, creating quite a ripple in the literary pond. It is said that much the pleasantest way of acquiring a knowl- edge of literature is to have it read to one by the men and women who have written it, particularly if it happen to contain a flavor of dialect. George Cable has pre- sented ‘Madame Delphine” and “Dr. Sev- jer,” and Thomas Nelson Page ‘“Marse Chase” and “Meh Lady” in a light in which they never appeared when the stories were read as stories. What was missed in them has probably also been missed in John Fox’s mountaineer stories, with their queer dialect, and his friends and admirers will surely take advantage of this opportunity to hear him read them, so that they may see and appreciate ali that there is in them. The seats are on sale at Metzerott’s music store. ——.__ Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: Victor Anderson to Abraham L. Saltz- stein, part lot 3, sq. $10.

Hodgkin, “Glass Expert," 913 7TH ST. mh2-12d DIVIDING THE DIOCESE. ~ Bajtimore Episcopalians Not Showing z Much Enthusiasm. It is now, said to be.a matter of some doubt whether the preMminary conditions: for the division. of thé: Episcopal diocese of Maryland can be} fulfilled before the meeting of the Maryland convention in this city next May. These conditions, imposed by Bishop Paret, are: that before he will consent to @ division ef the. didcese the Baltimore bishopric ahd the proposed new Washington diocese itil each raise $50,000 as an endowment fund):in order to prevent further assessment upon the parishes. Washington has already raised over $41,- 000, and is m a faim way to get the full amount. Baltimore, “however, has hardly gathered $25,000, it is understood, and in- terest in the undertaking is said to be upon the wane, rather than on the increase. If Baltimore cannot get the full amount be- fore the meeting of the convention in May it is not likely that the plan fora division of the diocese can be carried out. The apathy of the Baltimoreans in the undertaking is supposed to be due to sev- eral causes. It is thought Baltimore may be rather indifferent about the matter, having a resident bishop already. The in- terjection into the situation of the propo- sition to resolve Washington into an Epis- copal archbishopric is also thought to have caused the Baltimoreens to lose some of their enthusizsm for the division of the diocese, leading them to delay further ac- tion in this direction while the new move seems to be pending. The Washington clergy are not being in- fluenced by the movement in favor of the establishment of the archbishopric, leaving that matter to work itself out as a sepa- rate and distinct proposition, to aban- don the effort for the division of the diocese. “which. is. their first wish. ‘The question of the proposed see and crea- tion of a primus is one for the considera- tion of the general convention next Octo- ber, and will be settled by the voice of all the bishops. It would require two or three years to carry it out, and in the meantime the local clergy want the diocese divided. It is learned that when Bishop Paret was in the city a short time ago he intimated that next year when he visits Washington for the purpose of administering the rite of confirmation he will not be able to visit each parish separately, as heretofore, con- firming the candidates in their own church, but it will be necessary to collect the can- didates in a central place and confirm them all at the same time. ——_.
