According to Minister Andrade of Vene- zuela, who has just returned to this city from Deer Park, the status of the British- Venezuelan question remains unchanged. Re- cent adyices received at the Venezuelan le- gation give the text of the official resolution by which Venezuela confirms to an Ameri- can company a vast tract of land south of the Orinoco and near the scene of the Brit- ish contention. The resolution sets forth that this grant was originally made to the Manoa company of the United States, but was subsequently transferred to the Turn- bull company, in which English interests predominated. But in view of the fact that the Turnbull company has not proceeded with the development of the concession, the resolution recites that the Turnbull grant is canceled and all rights of the original Manoa company are revived and renewed. This gives the new American syndicate the same terms under which the Manoa com- pany operated. o- Examination of Cadcts. A board of officers to consist of Maj. Philip F. Harvey, surgeon; Maj. George H. Torney, surgeon, and Capt. Charles F.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Oould Mrs. West Have Been Saved Yester- day? The Arrival of the Patrol Wagon Caused a Difference of Opin- jon—Other Notes. There was much talk here yesterday to the ‘effect that if the police had obeyed premptly a telephone request to bring a physician in “the patrol when it was sent for there was but little doubt that Mrs. Martha West, who jumped over- beard near the Aqueduct bridge, could have been revived. As it was, there was no one to properly treat her when brought to shore, and after a few gasps she expired. The police say this about the matte The first informatiop they had at the sa- tion of the drowning was received through the call box. It was to the effect that a woman had been drowned and the patrol was wanted. Just as the patrol passed out of the yard there came a call through the *pkone to send a physician with the wagon, as the woman was not yet dead. ‘The patrol was beyond hailing distance, however, by this time and no physicians were near. Detective Frank Burrows, who got there with the wagon, says that even if a physi- cian had been brought along with tne pa- trol he would have been too late to render assistance, for the woman’s mouth was then frothy and in a condition that long years of experience with victims of the river had told him was beyond the phys! cian’s power. Though there was a gasp or two, he says this was no evidence that there was a possibility of resuscitation. The river had done its work thoroughly, and no human power was strong enough to undo it after the woman had been brought on shore. The coroner yesterday viewed the re- mains ai the seventh precinct morgue and gave a certificate of death from drowning, in accordance with the testimony of wit- nesses. A ghastly incident of the day in connec- tion with the drowning was the visit of a Photographe> to the morgue. He first re- quested the lieutenant to allow him to take a picture of the co:pse, but was referred to the husband of the deceased, believing that a refusal would resi West, how- ever, said he “didn’t care,” and with as- sistance the corpse was strapped to a plain board, set upright and photographed. It was a shccking, ghastly sight, the bare surroundings contributing to it. The sev- enth precinct morgue was never finished, and is, in fact, nothing but a cellar. . Lawn Party. At the home of Capt. French, over in Langley, a very successful lawn party was held yesterday for the benefit of the Lang- ley Episcopal Church, Miss Fanny Mack- all had charge of the affair. The George- town Mandolin and Guitar Club members were present and contributed much to the enjoyment of,the occasion through their masterly execution. A Presentation. The Linthicum Students have added at a formal meeting Mr. John C. Lewis to their membership list. Mr. Lewis is a graduate of the elocution department of the institute and has demonstrated his ability to hold his own with the students. His work has been commended highly. After the busi- ness meeting on Wednesday the students, as an evidence of their appreciation of the valuable services of Mr. Robert Lowe, who for two years has managed the organiza- tion, presented him with a very handsome and complete make-up box. Mr. Lowe leavés for Toronto, Canada, Tuesday next to join the forces of Sol Smith Russell, -the eminent comedian. In this company will be three other Washington favorites, Al- fred Hudson, Chas, Mackay and Mrs. Fan- nie Addison Pitt of the late National Thea- ter Stock Company. Mr. Russell will strike Washingtcn on February 10. The principal plays of his repertoire will be “The Rivals,” “‘Heir-at-Law” and “Every Day Man,’ with a n2w play shortly after Christmas. Faith Tent. Faith Tent, No. 31, I. O. Rechabites, held a lawn party last evening at 26th street and Pennsylvania avenue. On the grounds was presented an interesting program. There was fancy dancing by Miss Blanche Riley and musical selections by Messrs. Edw. Henshaw, B. T. Sullivan and W. S. Riley cf the South Washington Orchestra. The whole affair was a big success. The sales were large and the enjoyment con- tinuous. The decorations were a very noticeable feature of the occasion.

To the Elicor of The Evening Star: The property holders and residents’ on ‘ew York avenue have been looking for- ward with hope to a decision from Judge Cole which would have the effect of com- pelling the Eckington company to give some more satisfactory transit than the in- termittent, uncertain and inconvenient present trolley system. It is, ‘therefore, with some amazemént that we find him, after deciding the trolley .to be illegal, vir- tually suggesting suspending the sentence Lecause the poles are only to “be removed as early as that can reasonably be done without inconvenience to private property or persons.” Surely his honor must have meant this in a Pickwickian sense. What inconvenience could it be to have the un- sightly gibbets removed from the front of our residences or to have a decent reg- ular horse-car service in place of the pres- ent intermittent service, with its long intervals between cars and its frequent changes from trolley to horse cars. There is one point which our Commissioners and the lawyers in the case do not seem to appreciate, that the opposition so freely expressed by the residents along the line is not only to the unsightly dnd dangerous trolley, but to the unserviceable manage- ment of the road as a means of travel. As a property holder on New York avenue, I know that my property has been depre- ciated by the insufficient service of this same Eckington line. Last week, having occasion to go from the treasury to the short distance of New York avenue and ist street northwest, it required forty-five minutes to make the round trip. Our slow- est horse-car lines wouJd make it in half the time. I had to whit on New York avenue northwest ten minutes for an Eck- ington car, and at one time, in the whole distance between 7th street west and 4th street east (over a mile), there was but a sirgle car visible. Yet ‘this is the road which Judge Cole, in his decision, sug- gests that its illegal trolley may have to be continued for a time lest its abandon- ment should “be an inconvenience to pri- vate property or persons.”” There is gne point, however, which the public fully’comprehend, even if the Com- missioners and courts fail to appreciate. All the trolley people ask for is just what they have so far been permitted to have— delay. If they can only bridge over their illegal trolley until Congress conyenes they may bring influence to bear to fasten this unsightly nuisance on this city. The fight with the Eckington line is the contest with the whole trolley system. Let this road maintain its hold and the entering wedge is attained. But there is another point the public do not understand—why other roads, like the Metropolitan, are compelled, at the expense of millions of dollars, to put their ten miles of track underground, while this Eckington line, with only about two miles within the city limits) to alter, still ille- gally, as Judge Cole himself has decided, holds the fort with {ts trolley standard waving undaunted in the air. If this is not favoritism, what is it, and a still more important question, why is it? J.C. a The Star Gut of Town.

WORK ON THE INCOME TAX CASE Discussing the Matter of a Suc- cessor. SKETCH OF HIS CAREER Howell Edmunds Jackson, associate jus- tice of the Supreme Court of the United States, died at his residence, at West Meade, six miles west of Nashville, Tenn., yesterday afternoon, in the sixty-fourth year of his age, of consumption. Judge Jackson had been in failing health for the past four years, but it has orly been in the past eight or ten months that the progress of the disease began to cause his family and friends uneasiness. Last year he went on a lengthy trip to the far west in search of health. Later he went to Thomasviile, Ga., where it was hoped the mild and yet bracing climate would restore his one-time vigorous con- stitution. The trip did him little good, and after a time he was brought home. At his old home Judge Jackson seemed to improve slightly until he came to Wasiington to sit in the second hearing of the income tax cases. He stood that trying trip only fair- ly well, and after his return home appeared to lose strength rapidly. : Nevertheless Judge Jackson never sook to his bed until last Wednesday week. Since that time his famiiy and friends vealized that the end was near, and his death yesterday was not unexpecied, as dispatches to yesterday's Star indicaced. His Last Trip to Washington. The last time Judge Jackson was in Washington was on the occasion of the re- hearing in the income tax cases last May. He had been absent from the city and from the bench since the preceding full, when, soon after convening of the October term of the court, he had been compelled to go south on account of his rapidly de- elining health. During nis absence there had been contradictory reports as to his physieal condition, but the prevailing opin- ion among his colleagues on the bench ves that he would never again be .ble to re- sume his seat. Mr. Jackson had the reputation in this city, and especially about the Supreme Court, of being very sensitive concerning any discussion of his health in the public press, and he referred to the subject very sparingly in his own conversation. The other members of the court were therefore poorly advised @s to his condition. This state of affairs is said to have been the reason for the equivocal character of the announcement of the decision to grant a rehearing in the income tax cases, which of necessity depended upon Judge Jackson's presence. He was in Washington on the occasion of the rehearing for several days and gave his attention assiduously to the income tax cases. He sat through the argument which continued for three days, took part in the consultation of the court, and, when the day arrived for the announcement of the decision, not only listened patiently to the opinions of most of the other members of the court, but delivered a vigorous opinion of his own in support of the validity of the law. This occurred on the 20th of May, and was his last public appearance. He return- ed to his home in Tennessee late in May. When Judge Jackson was here on ‘his cc- easion it was evident to all who came in contact with him that life was slowly but surely ebbing away, and that the cffort he made in performing his duties in- that emergency was made at the expense of his vitality. How He W Estecmed. As Senator and justice of the Supreme Court, Mr. Jackson had resided in Wash- ington about elght years. His associates here were confined largely to his colleagues en the bench and in the Senate chamber. By them he was universally esteemed as a man of high moral worth and rich intellec- tual attainments, as was evinced in ncthing so much as in his appointment to the Su- preme bench by President Harrison and his confirmation by a republican Senate, not- withstanding he was a democrat. Judge Jackson's Career. Justice Jackson was born in Paris, Tenn. April 8, 1832, so that he was in his sixty- third year at the time of his death. Justice Jackson was a classical scholar, graduating from the West Tennessee College in 1848. He studied law two years at the University of Virginia, and in Jackson, under his Kinsmen, Judges A, W. O. Totten and Mil- ton Brown; graduated from the Lebanon Law School in 1856, in which year he lo- cated in Jackson and engaged in the prac- Uce of his profession; moved to Memphis in 185 where he continued the practice of law; served on the supreme bench by ap- pointment on two occasions, and was once a prominent candidate for supreme judge before the nominating convention; relocated in Jackson in 1876; was elected to the state house of representatives in 1880 cn the siate credit platform; was elected to the United States Senate as a democrat in 1881, and served till April 12, 1886; was appointed United States circuit judge by President Cleveland, and nominated for associate jus- tice by President Harrison; was confirmed by the Senate February 18, 1893, and enter- = upon the duties of the office March 4, Matter of Successor. When Justice Jackson was so seriously ill this spring that he was not expected to re- cover the name of his successor was con- siderably speculated in. The idea was sug- gested by some that the President would again name Messrs. Peckham or Hornblow- er of New York,-while the selection of a man from the west fell to Don Dickinson. Postmaster General Wilson was strongly spoken of as among the possibili » while the majority of opinion was that Secretary Carlisle could have’ the place if he wanted it. Mr. Carlisle would be eligibie, as he would be appointed from the same district that the death of Justice Jackson has made vacant. President Cleveland last night received news of the death of Justice Jackson. On learning of the fact he sa: “The country will keenly feel the loss of so prominent and able a man.” Se Changes of Station.

Other Loeal Notes of General an@ Special Interest From Down the River, The case of the city against the Pennsyl- vania railroad yardmaster in this city, for making flying switches in the corporation limits, came up before Justice Thompson. Col. F. L. Smith for the railroad made a motion to quash the warrant on the ground that Justice Thompson had no authority in the matter, and that there was no law pro- hibiting such switching. Justice Thompson overruled the motion, after Mstening to a long talk from Col. Smith, who is the Penn- sylvania road's legal representative in this city. The case was then continued for two weeks. The policemen here say they know their duty, and they propose to haul the railread men up for every infraction of the law. Mayor's Court.

Stealing on Washington Heights. . To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will you allow me, through the columns of your excellent paper, to address a few earnest words to Brother Brooks in behalf of Washington Heights and vicinity? It was hoped by the residents of Washington Heights that the opportunity afforded by the careless use of the pistol by Miss Flagler, though inexpressibly sad in its re- sults, might be improved by parents, pas- tors and all others interested in good morals as a wholesome lesson to a class of very undesirable visitors to this region. This lesson is undoubtedly robbed of its force by the remarks of Rey. Brooks at the funeral ceremonies of young Green, so far his words have the power to rob it. The er expression of sympathy with his be- reaved parents and the boy’s companions did not certainly require the minimizing of crime. The facts are, as witnessed by the boys themselves before the coroner's jury, that they went to Gen. Flagler's for the purpose of getting the pears. There is tot a resident on Washington Heights that does not know that it is next to impossible to have even a sample of his fruit ripen upon the tree. Some time since I had a young pear tree, the quality of whose fruit I was anxious to test when fully ripe, and watch- ed it very closely until one fatal Sunday af- ternoon I discovered some eight or ten boys after the pears. As soon as discovered they lost no time in getting beyond my reach. I followed them some cistance, if possible, to ascertain who they were. This was a fatal mistake, for upon returning-to the house some four or five iarger boys has- tened from the yard, and with them all my pears. They did not leave me even a sam- ple. This experience is repeated from year to year, and this is what cur Brother Brooks calls an indiscretion, and even inti- mates it is parallel to the act of our Savior in plucking the ears of corn on the Sabbath day. I remember of reading, when a boy, the confession of a convict, in which he statel his career of crime began when he stole a pin from his companion. As he looked back over his years of crime, with his moral senses quickened by ine near prospect of punishment, he could clearly see that that act was stealing. Brother Brooks might call it an indiscretion. The sad facts Is attested by our police courts that we are having educated in our midst a class of young criminals who will surely furnish subjects for our penitentiaries, and even the gallows itself. Their moral senses are at the lowest ebb, and contamination and evil influence infest their whole moral being, as the germs of smallpox the clothing of its victims. To overcome this evil influ- ence all true men and all good citizens need to raise high the standard of moral action, and preach as well as practice tMose vir- tues that Insure the stability of any people, I had hoped that some more ready pen would notice these comments of Rev. Brooks, but none appearing, I have ven- tured a feeble statement in the interest of a much needed and wholesome lesson. Fruit H. M.
