Detective Quin- lan investigated the case and learned that Ansell, who was born in England, had been employed here in the government printing office and several private offices. He board- ed at the house of Mrs. Austin, on F street northeast, and last December he left here to visit Bermuda before returning to Eng- land. So far as could be ascertained the dead man has no relatives here. He was a member of Columbia Typographical Union, and-Secretary Padgett of that organization has been notified of his death. Although Ansell had been in this country about, twenty years he was never natural- ized. He was found sick on the streets in Stratford and was taken to the, West Ham Hospital, where he died just one month ago. The coroner's jury found that heart disease was the cause of death. The body was viewed by a large number of person: among them a Mrs. Roberts from Holbor who viaimed the body as that of her hu band, Lax Robe: who, she said, came to this country fifteen years ago. When he died Ansell had more than $300 in his pockets. : ee Trustees Elected. The District Title Insurance Company have clected trustees, as follows: A. T. Britton, John B. Larner, Geo. W.

REPORTS WERE TRUE Stories of Outrages in Armenia Fally Substantiated. 5 WHAT THE COMMISSION LEARNED Need of Reform Suggested to the Sultan. POWERS TO SUPERVISE CONSTANTINOPLE, May 14.—The com- mission which has been investigating the atrocities in Armenia has returned to Moosh. They traversed the devastated villages and arrived at Jellygoozan (also written Ghellyguozan), where ten houses were found to have been burned. The people were sheltered in miserable huts and ample proof was found of the truth of the stories told regarding the. massacre of Armenians, and. the fact that their bodies were thrown in large numbers into a pit, where the Turks endeavored to con- ceal their crime by pouring barrels of petroleum upon the bodies and setting fire to the oil. The flames, however, failed to consume the mass and a stream was dammed and diverted from its course in order to wash away the half burned bodies. But even this failed to obliterate the ter- rible evidence against the Turks, and the local authorities were compelled to remove the remains piecemeal. The villagers had removed the bulk of the bodies and in- terred them in consecrated ground before the arrival of the commission at Jelly- goozan. ‘The delegates of the powers left Moosh on April 5, The Turkish delegates at first declined to accompany them, aad then changed their minds. They proceeded to the ruined villages and traversed Shenik and Gernat, which were found jn ruins standing in the midst of devastated field: They passed other villages where many houses. e burned. At Jellygoozan the commission caused two pits, instead of one, as originally re- ported, to be opened, and found in them the remains of skulls and bones, with hair and clothing still adhering to them. Still another pit was searched. It situated In a ravine near Jellygoozan, and inside it was found a decapitated trun ayd other remains. But few bodies, how- ever, were found. The villagers told the delegates that the had removed the bodies from this pit, ar it was evident beyond a do-bt that ail three pits had contained bodies. The exhalations from the pits were so frightful that the delegates experienced great trouble in prevailing upon laborers to finish their horrible task. As a result of the investigation and the reports of the delegates of the powers, the powers have submitted notes to the Tur! ish government impressing upon the porte the nec ty of promptly inaugurating a scheme for Armenian reforms, which should include the appointment of Chris- tian officials in Armenia, the powers to have the right to veto the appointment of the governors. The notes of the delegates of the powers do not base their suggestions on the S: soun outrages, but on the general unsatis- factory condition of Armenia. ADMIRAL MEADE'S U TTERANCE: Ex-Senator Sabin Thinks About Right. NEW YORK, May 14.—Ex-Senator Dwight M. Sabin of Minnesota left early this morning for Boston. Mr. Sabin is practi- cally out of politics, but nevertheless he takes a keen interest in the affairs of the day. Speaking of the case of Admiral Meade, who so bluntly gave his reasons for retiring from the navy, Mr. Sabin said: “There was a ring of patriotism and an air of independence m Admiral Meade uttevances that found an echo in every loyal man’s mind. It may be that it was lack of discipline. but he had grave cause, and I think Meade was about right. I sec that President Cleveland and Secretary Herbert talk of court-martialing Admiral Meade. I do not think that they dare take the step. Let them go ahead, and they will see how mucli this country honors a brave man. Let Admiral Meade stand by his words and the policy there outlined. There will be another administration in a short time, and we want a man with sentiments like that at the head of the Navy Depart- ment. He may be Secretary of the Navy yet.’ He Was ————— ALL FOR FRE SILVER. Over 500 Delezgntes to the IDinois Convention Elected. SPRINGFIEI®, Ill, May 14.—The demo- cratic state executive committee will meet here this evening to make arrangements for the convention in June. Up to the pre: ent time thirty counties have held conven- tions and 521 delegates selected—a iittle less than half. Chairman Hinrichsen says all the delegates selected so far are for free silver. In counties were committees have refused to act arrangements will be made, according to ten of the members of the committee, “to give the democracy an opportunity of expressing themselves and of sending delegates. — SCHULZE’S DEFALCATION. Amount to Nearly Half a Million. TACOMA, Wash., May 14.—Facts have come to light which indicate that-the late Paul Schulze’s defaleations amount to nearly half a million dollars, making his total embezzlement the largest known on the Pacific coast. The new defalcations are those in the accounts of the Northern Land and Development Company of South Bend, Wash., and the Olympic Land and Investment Company, which owns the town site of Ocosta, the terminus of the Grays harbor branch of the Northern Pacific r: road. South Bend is the terminus of the branch to Willapa harbor. — Ringing the Bell. Messrs. Latimer & Morgan, auctioneers, were in the Police Court today, charged with violating the police regulations in having a bell sounded for the purpose of advertising a sale. Under the police regu- lations it was charged that the ringing of the bell was a neediess noise. Lawyer Fulton claimed, however, that the Com- missioners had not the right to make such a regulation, as the law under which the licenses are granted requires the ringing of the bell in order to make the announce- ment to the public that the sale is to take place. A failure to ring the bell, he ar- gued, might invalidate the sale. During the course of his argument counsel said that the Commissioners recognized the necessity for ringing the bell when the tax sales are held. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh argued the case cn behalf of the District and the judge reserved his decision. Likely to Castoria Fe ‘or Infants and Children. CASTORIA DESTROYS WORMS.

Several members of the committee appoint- ed to look after some of these places decided that they would visit Jackson City and the Alexander Island raée tracks yesterday, but it happened thatthe. only attraction across the Li was the race meeting at St. Asaph, and so the members of the committee decided to go there. A reguest was made of’Maj. Moore to have a detective ‘sent over the river with the commitice, and Detéctive Carter was detailed for the purpose. The members of the committee were acconipanied by sev- eral of the clergymen of the city. Those who made the journey and inspection were Alexander Matkay Smith, Rev. W. Parsons, Key. Hugh Johtiston, Dr. A. P. rdon, H. Magruder, B. H. Warne and Health Officer Woodward. They were very much disappointed when they learned that a (rip to Jackson City y terday was uselesS, for they did not ex- pect to see much at St. Asaph, other than a big crowd, wholesale gambling and liquor drinking, besides the racing. 5 The party went over on the 1:55 train, the usual crowd of race freauenters being in evidence. The members of the party were recognized before they had been on m1 Jaw and the train five minutes, and probably consequence were cordially met at the gate by the assistant secretary of the track, who tendered the party ail the club privi- leges. Accompanied by one of the club de- tectives the clergymen and board of trade members made a careful tour of investigz tion of the various sights and scenes be- longing to race track. They saw the races run, saw the betting on home and foreign tracks, indulged in by men and women, saw what drinking was going on and returned to the city with a pretty clever idea of {he loeal coioring of a race track. .- Wouight’s Board of Trade Mecting. This evening is the time fixed for con- sideration by the members_of the board of trade and the citizens who will meet with them of the state of affairs at Jackson City, and the effect on the welfare of the ij trict. The board will meet at 5 o'clock sharp at Builders’ change, ,and, after listening to addresses on the subject by men fully posted, opportunity will be given for general discussion. The mieeting | is open to all interested in the solution of the qu environs under the sway of law and cr- der. It is thought that the public atte: tion has been so aroused against the ex isting evils that a large number will turn out at the meeting this evening. —_ WOULD NOT REFORM. Additional Sentence for Sperking Out in Court. Edward Jack has made a success as a member of the police force, but as a tem- perarce advocate and missionary he prov- ed an utter failure. Joseph Powell was the object of the policeman’s missionary work, and when he concluded that his work would avail rothing he placed Joe under arrest and took him before Judge Kimball this morning. This the officer thought was the enly way to keep him sober for a few . As an habitual drunkard Powell led Judge Kimbali’s procession this morning, and when arraigned he “Joe is a good fellow,” said the officer, “put he will drink whisky. He works at odd jobs, but when he gets paid off the maney goes for whisky. I have talked to Joe a number of times, but he does not improve re “What have you to say for yourself? asked Judge Kimball, who recognized the prisoner. fs “Well, judge,’ answered the prisoner, “I work hard and drink the same as other people i u “But you drink more than other people, the judge said. - “He's drurk all the time,” the officer added. “How many times has he been drunk during the past thirty days?” asked the court. . “He hasn't been out thitty day the officer. s “How much time did I give you when were here before?” the judge asked. “Fifteen days,” answered Powell. ze you may have fifteen days more.’ “T've got it in for you,” sald the prisoner to the officer as he stepped back. “Make the sentence thirty days,” said the judge. said —_—— Visited the Jail. Inspector Hollinberger accompanied sev- eral of the visiting chiefs of police to the jail yesterday and showed them through the prison. The visitors were very much pleased with the building, which thought was probably the best building of its kind in this ccuntry. While there the visitors looked at some of the prisoners, amcng them the alleged safe blowers. “Eddy” Desmond, one of the men, who is a stranger, was not identified by the visit- ors, but his picture will be distributed in hopes of his being identified, as his ‘denti- fication, it is thought, will assist the offi- cers in’ their efforts to capture Dempsey, who is still at large. : bridge @uring the day | sticn of bringing Jackson City and its | they | WORK ORDERED.

ENGINEER WAS BLOWN OVERBOARD Rush of the Passengers for Life Preservers. ALL OVER IN A MINUTE DETROIT, Mich., May 14.—A terrible ac- cident occurred at jast evening on the new river steamer Unique, in Lake St. Clair, which caused the death of two men and possibly a third. At 4 o'clock the Unique left Detroit; bound for Port Huron, after a down trip which was the quickest ever made between Detroit and Port Huron by boat. When about nine miles from Belle Isle a crash was heard by the passengers to proceed from the boiler room, which was followed by clouds of steam and soot, driven through the hatches with terrific force. At the same instant_the explosion oc- curred the deck hands saw George Robin- son, engineer of the boat, of this city, who was sitting on the port rail, thrown over- board. Life preservers were thrown at once to him, but as the boat was going at full speed at the time they did not come within his reach. A boat was at once low- ered, and a thorough search was made for him, but he had disappeared, and was given up for dead. As soon as the condition of affairs below would warrant it the officers of the boat went below, and found a crack about an inch and a half long in one of the boiler flues. This caused the explosion. On the floor of the boiler room was An- thony Case, a coal passer, who was seen to have been killed outright. Near him was John Plant, a fireman, who was taken from the fire hold frightfully burned. There were about forty passengers gn the boat, and a rush was made for the life pre- servers as soon as the accident occurred. But it ended so quickly that all on board became assured that nothing serious had happened to the boat itself, and order was quickly restored. The officers of the boat ea to.allow any one to visit the fire old. The Unique lay on Lake St. Clair from the time of the accident until 2 o'clock this morning, when the wrecking tug Wales, which had been sent for by the steamer Baldwin, took her ir tow, and reached the dock at Detroit at 3 o'clock this morning. —_— JURY SERVICE. Judge Cote Lectures Some Business Men on the Subject. “I ought to fine you gentlemen at least $10 said Judge Cole to Esau L. Johnson and Gerome Desio this morning, when he inquired why they had not answered yes- terday morning a summons as jurymen in the Criminal Court. “But I will let you off with the costs of the attachment for con- tempt.” Both jurors stated that while they did not appear at the time stated in the sum- mons, 10 a.m. yesterday, they were in court later in the day, sickness preventing Mr. Johnson, and important business prevent- ing Mr. Desio from appearing at the time. “That is no excuse for either of you, replied Judge Cole, sharply, “you should have been in court at the time mentioned in the summons, or, if that was impossible, you should have sent word to the court. You are both in contempt of court, and you will remain in custody of the marshal until you pay the costs of the attachment. I wish it distinctly understood that the orders of this court cannot be disobeyed. If they are, those offending will be punished.” “But, your honor,” exclaimed Mr. Deslo, “Not another word,” interrupted the court, “unless you want me to fine you.” Both jurors then promptly paid the costs, amounting to about $3.60 each, and were discharged until next Monday morning. Thos. E. Buckley, another summoned juror who failed to respond, sent word by his nephew that he was ill. “This note, remarked Judge Cole, “is so badly writ- ten that I cannot read all of it, and what I am able to read is not satisfactory. Tell your uncle that he must send me tomorrow morning a written affidavit of his physician stating that he is too ill to appear.” —_—~—. —__ BIDS OPENED. Offers for a Site for New Truck Com- pany.
