10 —_—SS—_*====== ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING |< ‘Verdict of the Coroner's Jury on the Kill- ing of Reuben Foster. Whe Testimony on Which the Verdict Was Based—Stories of Eye Witnesses, ‘Yesterday afternoon at the inquest held at the sixth precinct over the body of Reuben Foster, or Forrester, who was shot and instantly killed by Policeman Green in Anacostia Monday afternoon, Mrs. Susie Mfiler, colored, was giving evi- dence when The Star’s report closed. Con- tinuing her testimony, the witness said the first she saw of Foster was when he fell, and the officer was not very far from him when he fell. Foster was running in the direction of the branch when the cMi- cer shot him. Witness said she was cry- ing just after the shot was fired, and there was great excitement about Douglass’ Hall. Witness said she did not know anything of Foster’s character, but she knew he had been arrested. “Did you know that he shot crap?” “T have heard of it, but have never seen it.” Sarah E. S. Wills, colored, testified that when Reuben Foster was a small boy che knew him well, but she had not known much of him lately. She was at home when the trouble happened. When rhe heard the report of the pistol she looked out and saw Reuben fall. When she went out to where he was lying on the ground she remarked, “He's shot.” The officer was there, and he said, shot him.” The Reason Why. ‘Witness asked why he shot him, and he replied, “He ran away from me.” Witness remarked, “Oh, think of his soul, hurled into eternity without a mo- ment’s warning!” Mrs. Wills said she had often read in the paper of Foster’s being arrested. A colored contractor named Francis Ede- lin was called, and he said he was well acquainted with the deceased, but wanted the jury to understand that he did not keep company with him, saying he did not belong to his class. “What was his reputation?” “Well, he was a pretty bad boy,” answer- ed witness; “the same as most of his class.’ “What do you mean by his class?” After some hesitation witness answered: “He didn’t care much about anything.” Witness did not see the officer when he fired the shct, but he saw Foster when he fell. Witness was the first one to reach the dead man, and he heard the officer say: “I shot him.’ Witness was asked if Mrs. Wills did not reach the dead man just after him, and he said he really could not say. “I had to get over a wire fence,” he said, “and I don’t know just how she got there.” “But she got there just the same,” ven- tured a juror. “She got there.” Dido’t Intend To. William H. West, colored, 1119 C street southeast, testified that he was on Nichols avenue when the shot was fired. He heard the report of the pistol and saw the dead man after he had been shot. Witness agked the officer how he came to shoot him, and he said he had the man under ar- rest and he got away. Witness asked him why he killed him, and he answered: “I ane intend to kill him; I only shot at Charles W. Pyles testified that he did not witness the shooting, but he saw the colored man before he died. Witness knew Foster when he (witness) lived in Aracostia, and he knew him to be a dingerous man. “Tell the jury what you know of the offi- cer,” said the coroner. “I know him to be @ very fine man, who always attends to his duty.” Witness then explained that Foster had atsaulted him on at least two. occasions and had threatened witness on more than one occasion. ‘Witness had heard Foster make threats against other persons several times. “He was a young man who talked a good deal,” said witness, “and he didn’t care what he said.” ‘Witness said that Foster spent much of his time in prison, and when out witness had to keep his eye on him. Saw It All. ®. J. Henderson, driver on the Anacostia street railroad, testified that he was seated in his car eating dinner Monday hfternoon when he saw the officer have the man un- der arrest. He saw the officer pursue the escaping man, and, while running across the field, he drew his pistol and fired. He was running when he fired the shot. Wit- ness thought Fester was about forty yards from the officer when the shot was fired. Witness was positive the officer did not draw his pistol while on the porch, as was Stated by the colored witnesses. Police Testimony. Policeman J. T. Amos, colored, of the second precinct, who has charge of the chain gang, was next sworn. He testified that Foster had been in his gang several times and witness said he was one of the worst men he had ever had in the gang. He needed watching all the time, and on two occasions he had to wear chains for twenty days. Last summer, while in the gang, Foster said he intended +to kill Po- liceman Marr the next time the latter ar- rested him, and witness told the ofticer about what he said. Witness said that Fos- ter was treacherous and witness always regarded him as dangerous. “Last summer while I had him,” said witness, “I told him that he would either die with his: boots on or would die on the gallows.” James Beach, colored, who lives in the country, testified that he was well ac- quainted with the deceased. He said that Foster cut his throat one evening and also threatened to kill him. “Do you know why he wanted to kill you?” “Yes, sir.” “why?” “Because I was a country boy and was passing through the bottom to make,a short cut home.” “Had he ever done that before?” STAGE sir; I had never been through there fore.” “Have you been through there since?” “No, sir.” Had Kept Away. Henson Hall gave similar testimony and amused the jury by the manner in which he told of how he had kept away from Anacostia since the night Foster cut his brother-in-law Beach's throat. “I was afraid to go back there,” he con- cluded, “after that night, when Foster threatened to kill me." Edward Johnson, another one of Fos- ter’s numerous victims, appeared and told the jury that Foster broke his finger, and had threatened his life. On one occasion Foster drew a revolver on him and he had seen him draw a pistol or razor on others. Witness said that all the boys in the neighborhood were afraid of Foster. “liow long have you known Foster?’ “All my life,” answered witness. growed up together.” “And you think his ‘We reputation was bad?” “Oh, yes, sir.” John A. Day, testified that he was pres- ent in Mr. Pyles’ store on one occasion when Foster drew a beer bottle on the Brocer. Joseph Conkling, a watchman at the Washington Asylum, told of Foster’s con- duct while in the chain gang, and said he heard him threaten to injure Officers Marr and Branson if he ever got a chance at them. Lieut. McCathran testified to the effici- ency of Officer Green, whom, he said, he had always regarded as an excellent officer. Sergt. Kirby gave similar testimony and said he considered Mr. Green a first-class officer in every sense of the word. Policeman Marr testified that he had known Reuben Foster for about ten years. He was a rough and disorderly character, shot crap and played cards for his living and was generally regarded as a dangerous man. “The respectable colored people of that section,” said the officer, “looked upon him as a vile, mean creature. Witness had been told of the threats made by Foster and he was always careful when he was about. At this juncture the coroner asked Green it he desired to make a statement, e¢x- plaining that he could do so or not, as he pleased. The coroner told him that what- THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1895—-TWELVE: PAGES. . ever he might say, not under oath, might be used against him hereafter. “Acting under advice of my counsel,” maith officer, “I will not make a state: men Mr. Smith said he desired to say for the officer that he had no intention of shooting or injuring Foster, and: certainly no one deplores the action more than the officer himself. The Verdict. The jury returned a verdict as follows: “From the evidence we find that the said Reuben Foster came to his death on Mon- day, March 4, at about 1:33 p.m., from a pistol shot wound from a pistol in the hands of Policeman Adwin Green; and we further find that from the evidence the shooting was accidental, the evidence show- ing no desire to inflict injury.” — MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. English Cities That Control Gas and Water Works, &c. BR. P. Porter's London Letter. English cities the size of St. Louis, Bos- ton, Baltimore, Buffalo, Cleveland and San Frarcisco have municipalized their mar- ‘kets, gas, water, tramways, electric light and art galleries, and in so doing—in addi- tion to reducing the cost to the community —have secured a municipal fund without an increase in rates. ~ Birmingham in seventeen years made a Profit on its gas of $3,570,000; the markets of Manchester hand over $75,000 annually to the city treasury, while the markets of Liverpool make a profit of $82,500; the surplus of nearly $35,000 on the trams of Liverpool goes toward the relief of the paving rate; Glasgow in 1803 made a profit of $220,000 on water, $150,000 on gas and $15,000 on markets, while Bradford made a Profit on its electric light of over $10,000. Here we have a little tabulated state- ment of the profits in 1893 on these munici- pal undertakings: Gas.

In reference to this table, it is to be re- membered that in all cases profits are reck- oned only after provision has been made for the payment of interest on loans and repayment of the principal.

I think these little tables comprise a glimpse into English municipal work only to be cbtained by a long and weary search of municipal reperts. They are fresh and up to date, the book containing these and many kindred facts now being in course of publication. Mr. Dolman has performed a useful task in giving us full particulars abcut these cities, and one that will be ap- preciated, not only by students of munici- pal institutions, but by the public, because the facts touched on do not present a dry account of budgets, but a bright descrip- tion of what is being done to make life more agreeable to the dwellers in cities. I have, of course, changed the English peunds into dollars. oo —_____ DOUGLASS’ FIRST SPEECH. The Impression Made on a Journalist Who Heard It. Mr. Charles T. Congdon, in his “Rem- iniscences of a Journalist,” gives an inter- esting description of the early oratorical efforts of the late Frederick Douglass. Mr. Congdon was a native of New Bedford, Mass., to which place Douglass fied from the Auld family in Baltimore, and was prominent in the anti-slavery agitation both in Massachusetts and New York. He was editor of the old Boston Atlas, and for a long period was on the New York Tri- bune staff under Horace Greeley. Mr. Congdon says of Douglass: “It was my good fortune to listen to the earliest rhetorical efforts of a man who has since won wide fame as a public speaker; and I question whether any Of his later speeches have surpassed in natural vigor and 4 certain indescribable grace those which Frederick Douglass made while he was still a day laborer on the piers or was engaged in the still humbler occupation of whitewashing in New Bed- fcrd, Mass. He became the most notable of all the fugitive slaves who sought that well-known asylum of the oppressed. We had hundreds of these self-emancipated people in the town; and a thrifty and well- behaved class they were; but none of them won the celebrity of Mr. Douglass. If he could read and write at all when he came to us it was very little of either; but he worked hard to make up for his lack of early culture, and he soon won the confi- dence and respect, not only of his neigh- bors, but of the anti-slavery men and wo- men throughout the state. “It was with some difficulty that he was persuaded to addyess a meeting called to consider the case of the fugitive, George Latimer, which was then exciting the whole commonwealth; but he had not spoken five minutes before I saw that he Was an uncommon man. As he went on, warming with his topic, he not only ex- hibited no hesitation, but poured forth choice and unique words with a skill and copiousness which left hardly anything to be desired; and when he described the poor runaway, clinging to the base of Bunker Hill monument, shrieking in vain for suc- cor to the God of liberty upon the free soil of Massachusetts, he evoked from the au- dience a response which was a perfect storm of applause. His was pure, natural oratory, requiring no allowances, and as free from turgidity and bad taste as if he had been trained in the severe school of Webster, or had.studied to good purpose the classical orations of Edward Everett. I could almost fancy that I heard some well-booted Grecian arguing of the leaguer of Troy.” SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA, Rev. James McLaren, pastor of the Meth- odist Church, left Anacostia this morning for Baltimore, where he will be in attend- ance at the Baltimore conference, and re- turn home some time next week. There was an adjourned meeting last night cf the official board of the Methodist Church, at which were present Rev. James McLaren, H. A. Linger, J. H. Dony, Rob- ert Jordan, C. F. Walson apd Mr. Smith and Mr. Etzler. After the accounts for the year had been read and business of minor importence transacted,-an auditing com- mittee was appointed and the meeting a journed. The financial report showed that the past year has been the most prosper- ous in the history of the church for many years, and the new church year opens in a very auspicious manner. Work on the new building at Harrison and Pierce streets being erected by Mr. Frank Haines has commenced. Master Clagett Hayden, who has been very ill at his home on Fillmore street, is reported to be somewhat improved. —————— TAKOMA PARK. The turkey dinner served in Takoma Hall cafe last night by the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Presbyterian Church proved grati- fying in quality, quantity and financial re- ceipts.

GOLDEN RULE LODGE —— Meets in Strong (Array to Honor_ a Piencer. ‘The members of Gblden Rule Lodge, N 21, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a sembled in strong affray“last evening to do honor to William Gibson, past grand, and treasurer of the I from the date of its organization, tourtien years ago, to the present time. The occasion marked the fiftieth anniversary of the initiation into the order of Mr. Gibson. Very seldom do so:imany of the members attend meetings as“were present last even- ing in Odd Feliows’'Hall. Past Grand J. H. Crew, after stating the object of the gath- ering, in an appropriate speech presented to Mr. Gibson an ‘honorary veteran jewel. It is made entirely of gold, and is a hand- Scme device. Such, jewels are presented only to members of the order who have served for fifty consecutive years. In his response Mr. Gibson reviewed his career as an Odd Fellow, and related many inter- esting reminiscenses, Mr. James H. Callis, a member of Frank- lin Lodge, No. 2, of Baltimore, the one with which Mr. Gibson was first connected, gave a short history of the latter’s con- nection with that .iodge, and. then Past Grand Joseph Burroughs told of Mr. Gib- son’s Career as a member of Golden Rule Ledge, Mr. Burroughs declaring that “the history of Mr. Gibson is the history of Golden Rule Lodge, as he has always’ been in the thick of the work. Remarks were also made by Past Grand Levi Nagle and Noble Grand P. H. Leary. At this point the lodge was closed, and the members formed in line and marched to Reuter’s Hotel, where an elaborate re- past was served. When the good things had been discussed the speaking was re- sumed, with Past Grand Thomas Somer- ville as presiding officer. Mr. Somerville teld of how the order was started by nine men, and added that now it numbers over 700,000. He paid high tribute to Mr.Gibson, and then proposed a toast to that brother, which was drunk’$tanding.

Roose of Warren Lodge, Baltimore; H. T. Wheeler, Past Grand F. J. Foster, J. O. O. Neil, Past Grand E. P. Rhoderick, Past Grand William A. Taylor and Past Grand 8. R. Whitney made short addresses, in which they dwelt on the high character and attributes of Mr. Gibson, who, it was the untversal opinion of those present, is as high respected and loved, both as an Odd Fellow and a man, as any person liv- ing. The evening was brought to a close by singing “Auld Lang Syne.”’ Those in attendance were: Grand Master T. J. Mead, Past Grands Thos. Somerville, J. H. Challis, W. S. Roose, Jos. Burroughs, W. A.

I cannot speak as in- telligently concerning these laws as I would wish, inasmuch as the congress which is now in session may modify them in many particulars. Congress met on the Ist in- stant, and will not adjourn for two months. If it makes the changes anticipated, I shall be fully advised, and they will at once be given to the American public. I can only say in a general. way that all persons de- siring to locate in Guatemala, who have been previously authorized by the govern- ment’s agents, are furnished transportation at half rates on the Pacific mail line of steamers from San Francisco and Panama. It is purposed also to establish a new line of steamers between New York and Puerto Barrios, on our Atlantic coast. This line will be subsidized by the Guatemalan gov- ernment. I hope it will be in operation within sixty or ninety days. The trips will be made_ semi-monthly, and probably oftener. On these steamers passengers will be carried at less than one-half the regular fare. The establishment of this line is the result of our increasing trade with the United States and in pursuance of our new immigration laws, which I have every reason to believe, and which you will see from what I have already stated, will be most liberal, “The free list of our tariff contains not only many of the necessaries of life, but agricultural implements and other ma- chinery required in the raising of farm products.”* ——_———_—_+-0+______ IOWA MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS: of the Contests for City Offices. The municipal election at Iowa City, Towa, on Monday was quiet. Four of the five wards elect republican aldermen. The republican candidate for city solicitor was elected.

The Lyons republicans elected their can- didates for mayor, city attorney, assessor and two aldermen. The democrats get the treasurer and two aldermen. The Burlington democrats elected three out of five aldermen. The mayor holds over. Geo. A. Lincoln, republican, was elected mayor of Cedar Rapids. The republicans elect seven of the ¢ight aldermen. The city election at Ottumwa was hotly contested. La <Force, republican, for mayor is undoubtedly elected, as is also the balance of ar republican ticket, except police judge. The entire republican ticket at Sioux City was elected. (Only aldermen were elected. The Sioux City school board has decided to allow-we™men to vote at the school elections eae As women, according to tows je ‘WS, are not allowed to vote except in qlestions of taxation, this may possibly invalidate the election. The board arrived at iteecision af.cr hearing the opinion of pyomigent local lawyers. The citizens’ tigke}: seems to ‘:ave car- ried the day at Qukajosa. —_—+69e-____ Cadet ‘Apwointments.
