FACTS ABOUT HIS MANIA —_—. ‘The question which will hénceforth inter- est all the parties to the Holt will contro- versy In the greatest degree Is, where did the late J. R. Mandeville get hold of the mutilated copy of the will of 1873. When young Mr. Orlan Clyde Cullen burst like a meteor across the firmament of mystery which overhung the posthumous affairs of the famous late judge advocate general he cast one gleam of light before he spluttered and went out. This illuminated the hither- t> vague and indefinite belief that the will of 1873, naming Miss Throckmorton and Miss Hynes as beneficiaries and Luke Dev- lin as executor, had been recovered from attempted destruction, ard had by some means found its way into the possession of an autograph collector. As much of young Mr. Cullen's story as relates to Mr. Mandeville having had the document in his keeping is believed by per- scns who knew Mr. Mandeville's habits to be true. It is easy to see how a young man of romantic fancy, who had already essay- ed literary flights by his contributions to an amateur writers’ column, could have come aercss the disfigured will among the ef- fects of the late Mr. Mandeville, which had come into the possession of the young rian’s family by reason of an unpaid board bill or other unimportant means, and had been inspired by the discovery to weave a filmy work of fancy that would plunge a curious community into wild excitement, and place him for the time being upon a pinnacle only a few inches lower than the dizzy height occupied by the late and lamented Sherlock Holmes. Some of Mr. Cullen’s Inconsistencies. In constructing his chapters, however, young Mr. Cullen, falling into the ways that amateur Hterati sometimes follow, neglected to study the history of the time and times he had chosen to tell about. For instance, he forgot that at the perioi in which he professed to be on terms of close intimacy with Judge Holt the latter was a very old man, while he was a very little boy. The fact that Mr. Cullen even at this time is making the amateur department, hereinvefore menticned, scintillate with his burning thoughts illustrates very forcibly the fact that he could hardly have enjoy2a that close personal friendship with Judge Holt which his story would seem to indi- cate. But that the burned and disfigured document which ts now in controversy be- fore the District courts was in the posses- sion of the late J. R. Mandeville and was found among his effects after his demise 1s regarded by those who have considered the matter as not only reasonable, but highly probable. The fact is that Mandeville was the most obdurate, zealous and uncompro- mising collector of autographs that it is possible to conceive. When he first came to Washington his short, stout and heavy figure was a familiar and for a long time welcome one at many well-known private houses and public establishments. He pur- sued each new fad that came along with peculiar pertinacity, and as his methods and mannerisms began to get him disliked by those who had at first weicomed and then tolerated him, he gave more and more time to the pursuit of his own fancies. Mandeville an Autograph Hunter. It was as an autograph collector, how- ever, that Mandeville displayed both his good and his bad traits to the top of his ability. For a number of years and up to 1876 the late Alexander Gardner was one of the leading photographers of Washington. His establishment was on Pennsylvania avenue between 9th and 10th streets, above the once famous book store of Philip & Solomons. Mr. Gardner gained fame and substance from the remarkable pictures he made of the battlefieids at Bull Run and other places, as well as from the regular business of photography which he pursued. Among Mr. Gardner's regular customers was the late J. R. Mandeville. Mr. Mande- ville was constantly at the gallery of Mr. Gardner, where he had an immense amount of work done in connection with his auto- graph mania. This consisted of photo- graphs of documents, reproductions of pa- pers and other things, nearly ail of which were so treated that the sheet upon which they were transferred from the negative would have a margin left at the lower end, according to Mr. Mandeville’s instructions, so that room would be left for the writing in of names and signatures. So far did Mandeville go in his desire to secure signa- tures of illustrious people that he lost the friendship of Mr. Gardner by forging the name of a member of the latter's famliy to a letter requesting the autograph of a Prominent man. It happened that the gentleman addressed was an intimate friend of Mr. Gardner and a frequent visitor at his residence. He knew the member of Mr. Gardner’s family whose name had been at- tached to the communication he received and he took the letter to Mr. Gardner. The latter charged Mandeville with the au- thorship of the forgery, and upon the lat- ter’s attempting to explain it away ordered him out of the photograph gallery. Mr. Lawrence Gardner's Recollections remember Mandeville very well,” said Mr. Lawrence Gardner, the son of the late Alexander Gardner, to a Star reporter to- day. “I was present when my father or- dered him out of his establishment for forging the name of one very dear to him to a letter to a well-known public man re- questing his autograph. Mandeville was absolutely wrapped up in his mania after autographs. The happening I allude to oc- curred, I believe, in 1874. I knew Mande- ville well, and he was continually having photographic work done at my father's gal- lery in connection with his craze.” Now, where did Mandeville get that dis- figured will? He was known to be a searcher of every junk shop in town and @ purchaser of unique documents as long as his money held out. Here is an, inter- esting opportunity for the heirs-at-law of gunee Holt to follow a very clearly defined lead. ———— Applies for Divorce. According to a petition for divorce from Lewis F. Frazier, filed for her today by At+ terney Fountain Peyton, Alice C. Frazier states that they were married here April 10, 18%, her maiden name being Chase. For the first year or so, she declares, her -hus- band behaved fairly well, but after that he began to associate with another young woman, whose company he seemed to pre- fer, and finally, so the complainant charges, her husband willfully and maliciously de- serted and abandoned her. Mrs. Frazier prays also that she may be allowed to re- sume her maiden name. Death of Mrs. Geo. C. Lafferty. Mrs. Lafferty, wife of Geo. C. Lafferty, official stenographer to committees, House of Representatives, died at Crozet, Va., Saturday night of appendicitis, after a short illness. Mr. and Mrs. Lafferty were married in April, 1893, and have one son, aged about eighteen months. — i H. L. McQUEEN, G. & J.

Cronkhite, eurgeon, hav- ing been found by an army retiring board incapacitated for active service on account of disability incident to the service, has been placed on the retired list, PROF. SHUTE’S RETIREMENT. He Leaves the Colombian Faculty After Thirty-Six Yenrs vf Service. The pupils of Columbiah University have learned with regret of jthe .retirement of Rev. Dr. Samuel Shute, professcr of Eng- lish literature and Anglo-Saxon. At the last meeting of the factlty of the uni- versity Prof. Shute handged,in his resigna- tion, as he desired to wetine from active work. His resignation was ‘tiecepted with reluctance. Pref. Shute hag left the city for his home, The Oaks, in Yirginia. Prof. Shute for thirty-alx years has been connected with the university as professor of English literature and* Anglo-Saxon. He was born in Philadelphi, Pg, January 24, 1823. He was graduated’at the University of Pennsylvania with th degree of A.B. in 1844, and ‘received front’ the: same Institu- tion the degree of A.M.\in 1817. He studied theology #t the Seminary of the Reformed Church ti Philadelphia, and was pastor of the Baptist Chur: » from 185% to. to 1859, ‘ During that year he was appointed pro- fessor of Greek and Latin in the Columbian. College, and in 1861 the chair of rhetoric was added. He held these chairs till 1864, vhen he was appointed professor of the English language and literature and of Anglo-Saxon, which chair he has held until his resfgnation at the beginning of the Present academic session. At the creation of the Corcoran Scientific and Graduate Schools of the Columbian University, Dr. Shute was appointed to the professorship of English and Anglo-Saxon in these schcols. On the occasion of his-assembling with the faculty of the college fer the last time Dr. Greene spoke of Dr. Shute’s life and services to the university, and expressed the deep regret that was felt by his co!- leagues at being compelled to sever the happy relations which had so long existed between them. ———— COMMITTEES CHOSEN.

A City Post Office Victim Asks for $20,000. Rolard Morgan, a workman engaged in the erection of the new city post office building, was severely injured on the 3d of last August, while at work there. Today, through Attorneys Alphonso Hart and C. Abbut White, he entered suit against Win- field S. Thorp and Charles F. Bond, con- structing the iron work in the building. The plaintiff states that on the day in question he was in the employ of the de- fendants, and that while at work on the sixth floor of the building their foreman ordered and directed him to climb to the top of a derrick to remove a block and fall. To do so, he says, hay was compelled to climb a two-story column and then walk along on an iron girder. In carrying out the order of the foreman it became neces- sary, he says, for him to take hold of and rest his weight against the derrick. But, he charges, as soon as he attempted to do so, the derrick swung or tipped over to one side and he was hurled,downward. A nar- row plank saved him from falling through the various floors to certain death. As it was, he suffered a broken hip and was 60 badly bruised and otherwise injured as to render him, he claims,.a cripple for life. He charges that the accident was due to the failure of the defendants to lash or fasten the feet of the derrick, or otherwise secure it, and, because of their alleged care- lessness and negligence, as well as because of their failure to provide temporary floors and scaffolding, he claims damages in the sum of $20,000. ———— The Knights of Jerusalem. The Ancient Order of Knights of Jeru- salem are celebrating here today the ninth anniversary of their organization. The day with them was observed with a big parade, in which nearly all of the members of the order participated. The line of march was formed on 12th and D streets south- east, and the knights moved to the avenue and 12th street southeast, through the en- tire length of the avenue. This evening there will be an entertainment at the Knights of Jerusalem Hall, in South Wash- ington, and there will be speech-making and other kinds of entertainments. DIFFERENT FATES Guilty and Innocent in the Police Court. BEFORE THE JUDGE TODAY A Lone White Woman Led the Procession. SHE WAS GUILTY In the cell set apart for females at the Police Court this morning there were eight colored women and one white woman, all of whom had been arrested on trivial charges, such as drunkenness or disorderly conduct. Some of them had been under the influence of liquor so many times in a month that “habitual drunkard” was the charge preferred against them. Although behind the bars, the women were apparent- ly happy, and seemed just as well con- tented as those who were in court on the other side of the rail. Two of the colored women were enjoying a smoke when the caterer and Policeman Flynn appeared with hot coffee, rolls and sausage, and when the food and liquid re- freshments had disappeared the females arranged their toilet, preparatory to facing Judge Kimball. ‘The colored women were particularly an- xious to look their best, and, in the absence of a mirror, they took turns in arranging each other’s hair. While this was going on the women laid aside their pipes, but before going into court they made one more effort to purify the atmosphere with smoke from the second-hand tobacco, and then, when all were ready, the door was opened and the order to march given. Johanna Quill, the only white woman in the party, was in the lead, and behind her walked the colored females and about two dozen men and a few boys. Johannn’s Case. Saturday afternoon Johanna was in South Washington not far from the James Creek canal, but she preferred poisonous whisky to the death trap, and when she was well under the influence of the “poison” she called at a bar room and wanted one more drink. She was refused, and the proprietor tried to eject her, but she fell to the floor and screamed and kicked to such an extent that Officer Roberts had a hard time to handle re “I'm guilty," was her surprising plea when arraigned, and a fine of $5 was im- posed. Lula Taylor, a colored girl who has t.g- ured in many a court trial, came to the front, and for the first time in her life she plead guilty. “The court fines you five dollars,” said the clerk, and Lula could not keep quiet unt@ she got back. Bailiff Kendig called “Steady!” to the girl, and.she managed to get back before it became necessary to impose a fine for contempt. George Thomas and Joseph Clagett were in court for disorderly conduct. They plead guilty, and the usual fine was imposed. Sterner Sex. “I'm guilty,” was the plea of a colored man arraigned for having used profanity on De Sales street, “but,” added the man, “I would like to speak. I live up there, and Saturday I was under the influence of ‘iquor and got arrested. If your honor will take my personal bonds this time I'll do better hereafter, and if you say so, I'll pay the fine next Monday.” “Can't give you time,” said the judge. You should have thought of this before you got drunk.” ae fine of $5 was imposed, and the man went own. Arthur Carr, a colored man, was in the Procession because he had used profane lan- guage in a house loud enough to be heard on the street. “I'm guilty of cursing in the house,” was his plea. Arthur had an idea that he had a right to say what he desired in his own house. He has, so the court says, but when his bad lan- guage may be heard in the street he is liable to arrest. “Five dollars,”” said the court. Reuben Morton and Louisa Morton, a col- ored couple from Reed's alley, came next, and they, too, were charged with having been profane in their house. “I heard bad language while passing the house,” the officer said. “Did they use the name of the Deity?” “Yes, sir," answered the officer, “and the man was worse than the woman. “Judge, your honor,” said the man, “I hope you will trust me for a week, and then T'll settle up.” “Why should the court trust you?” "ve been summoned as a witness in a murder case in the Criminal Court,” he an- swered, ‘and I just want to ‘tend court.” A fine of $ was imposed and the court took the man’s request under consideration. “This boy,” said Policeman Topscott, “was In a crap game.” Julius Latney was the colored prisoner, and he is only about nine years old. “Did you see him in the game?” the court asked. “Yes, your honor,” said the officer, “and when I appeared he was dropping the bones.” “I was in the alley,” said the boy, “ I wasn’t in the game.’ “What were you doing, then?” “I stopped where the white boys were playing,” he answered, “and one of them was going to buy my knife.” “And you were not in the game?” “No, sir.” “Ten dollar: Other Case Svele Trammell, a colored girl, was in the line because she had been disorderly on M street, and she admitted her guilt. She went down because she did not have five dollars. John Gray, a colored man who was on N street Saturday night, kicked a cat, and on complaint of Dr. Gibson he got arrested. “J don't remember that I touched the was the man’s defense. “Was the kick accidental or malicious?” the witness was asked. “I think it was malicious,” was his re- sponse. “Ten dollar Joseph Vces, a colored man who was in- vited to take a glass of beer on the public streets a few nights ago, was in court on a charge of disorderly. Policeman May complained that the man was in a disorderly crowd near 11th and Q street3, but the man’s statement con- vinced the court that he was not responsi- ble for the discrder, ard he was released. Elijah Brown had Lawyer Bacon to de- fend him. He had been arrested for dump- Ing dirt near M street, where he had no right to depcsit it. “He won't do it again,” sald Lawyer Ba- con. “This young man is from the coun- try, and he assures me that he will not re- peat the offense.” “Where are you from?” the court asked Elijah. “Brightwood,” he answered. “Did you ever drive a cart before?” “Yes, sir; but not out cn the dump.” His personal bonds were taken.

John Jackson, a colored man from Mont- gomery county, a friend of the Georgetown woman, was called to tell of his Saturday night's experience. He had lost several dollars, but so far as these women were concerned he knew nothing except that Lizzie had assisted im. The women were released. William Johnson, an old colored man,was in the procession because he had kept a ygpeak-easy” at his home in Pleasant al- ley. He plead guilty and was fined $300 or ninety days on the farm. An old colored woman, called as a wit- ness against Johnson, seemed to be under the influence of liquor, and she sympa- thized with Johnson in so loud a tone that the court had to call her to order. “That's the effect of ‘speak-easy’ whis- ky,” remarked Mr. Pugh. “It lasts a long time, and that’s why they like it so well.” Edward Colston, a colored man, cenied that he was a suspicious person. He was seen on 14th street about 2 a.m. yesterday, and Policeman Hutton said he saw him entering doorways and apparently trying doors. “I was drurk,” said the prisoner, “and I suppose I was looking for bar rooms to get more whisky.” - Several policemen were in court who knew the prisoner. They knew he was fond of liquor, but nothing worse was stated against him. His personal bonds were taken. —— DEATH OF JOHN SANFORD. The Inquest Prebably Wi Tomorrow. As stated In The Star Saturday, Coroner Hammett decided to further investigate the death of John Sanford, who died recently under suspicious circumstances, upon re- ceiving the report of the chemist who made an analysis of the contents of the stomach of the deceased. As published, arsenic was found, but it was also shown that the poison formed a large proportion of the make-up of the fluid used in embalming the body. Coroner Hammett stated this ‘afternoon that he intends to wait until the arrival in this city from New York of Mrs. Rose Sanford, wh» claims to be the first wife of the dead man, before holding an inquest. Mrs. Sanford had not reached the city at a late hour this afternoon, but is expected this evening or tomorrow morning, so that the inquiry io determine the cause of death will, in all probability, occur some time to- morrow. The inquest will undoubtedly oc- cupy considerable time, and be of interest, as medical testimony, in addition to that of the sisters of Sanford and of his first and second wives, is to be presented. —___ To Keep the Pence.
