The deaths reported at the health department were 118, as against 142 by the last report, and the annual death rate fell from 26.7 to 22.2. The deaths from typhoid fever num- bered ten, showing an Increase of two for the week, while those from brain disorders declined from eleven to four, and those from kidney ailmenis from eleven to five. The mortality from lung diseases was about at the average for the several weeks back, with a rising tendency as the cold weather advances.

HELD TO AWAIT AN AUTOPSY David Stewart Arrested Because of Sus- picions of Foul Play. Vague Rumors That He Had Some- thing to Do With William Brown’s Sudden Death. David Stewart, a colored man, who has lived his allotted three score years and ten and is willing to live another score, was placed behind the bars at the second police station about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon cn a charge of suspicion. While the station blotter did not give the offense of which he was suspected, the police held him because of statements that had been made concern- ing the death of William Brown, and the alleged part he took in the affair. William Brown was about fifty-five years old and was engaged in the purchase and sale of rags. He occupied rcoms in a house in Naylor's alley, and for about a week Stewart worked for him and roomed with him. Brown was a pensioner, and it is claimed that he spent most of his pension money for whisky. About the saloons where pensioners spend their money Brown was a familiar figure, for he was always ready to treat until his last nickel was gone, after which he would return to the rag business. Some days ago, it is said, his conduct was such that his wife had to leave the house end seek shelter elsewhere, and then he got Stewart to room with him. But Saturday morning he concluded to get rid of his guest and he ejected him ard threw his trunk Into the alley. Stewart, who is a hard-working and hon- oratle old man, went elsewhere looking for a resting place and he soon found one. Brown Found Dead. Monday about noon Brown was observed to enter his room and nothing more was seen of him urtil about 5 o’clock, when a friend called and fcund his dead body on the floor. One hand was on his stomach and the other on his chest. “Poor man,” muttered one of the colored residents of the alley when she saw the body. “I guess he must have had -the cramps.” The case was reported to the police in the. regular way, but there was no sus- picion of foul play. Brown had died with- cut medical attendance, and before he could be buried it was necessary to have a death certificate. This could be given only by the coroner, which would probably have been done yesterday had not a report been circulated that foul play was sus- pected. This report was niade by some of the Grand Army friends of the dec2asel, so the authorities say, and the police were told by witnesses that Stewart had said to Brown when the latter put him out of the house: “You old —- —, you won't live twenty-four hours. Stewart Taken Into Custody. As soon as the police heard. t! Precinct Detective Barnes was sent out, and, as al- ready stated, Stewart was put behind the bars. Cororer Hammett was called upon and told of what had been done, and he con- cluded to hold an autopsy today. Lieut. Teeple said to a Star reporter that he thought there was nothing in the rep of foul play, although, as a_precautionar: measure, he had to have Stewart locked up. So far as he had been able to learn, Stewart is an industrious old man, and had never harmed anybody. Detective Barnes had not obtained any evidence tending to show that foul play had played any part in Brown’s death, but if there had been any foul play, he said it was in the nature of poison, for there were no evidences of violence about the body. Stewart's Statement. When seen in his cell by a Star reporter Stewart denied knowing anything about the Geath of his late friend. “He was always drinking common whisky,” said Stewart, “and was very dis- agreeable, but as for my knowing what killed him—well, I don’t know nothing.” He said that Brown had thrown his wife out of the reuse some time before his (Stewart's) going there. Brown, he said, had always bcasted that he had conside ble money, but if he did have it, he (Stew art) knew nothing about it. He did not be- lieve he could have had very much, for he was a kard drinker and was always treat- ing the boys. Stewart also denied having made the remark attributed to him. About Naylor's alley, where Brown died, there were all sorts of rumors afloat yes- terday and today, but there was nothing definite in any of them. People in the alley seemed to be under the impression that Brown had a ‘ge sum of money in his house, the amount being placed all the way from $35 to $2,000. Some of the residents declare that when the body was found there were evidences of robbery. It was stated by sone of them that the boxes and drawers in the room had been ransacked, but the police had been unable this after- necn to find any proof that there had been a robbery committed. Stewart Released. Deputy Coroner Glazebrook made the au- topsy and found that death resulted from natural causes. This information was con- veyed to the police and Stewart was re- leased. —_——__ Tomorrow’s Alexander Islund Entries Firsf race, four and a half furlongs, maidens—Argyle III, 1:5; Solemon, 110; La Petite, Tyro, 95; Topochico, Irish H., 95; Milton IT, 95; Miss Lewis, 95; Hands Off, 95; Salir, 95; Rall Goundy, 95.

The Miscellancous IntcHigence of the Day Beyond Rock Creek. A Baltimore man named Thomas Wat- kins was arrested here last night, on the charge of having stolen $95 and a revolver from a restaurant keeper in whose employ he had Leen for eight years. He left Balti- more two weeks ago. The detectives there discovered that he had gone to Washington or Georgetown, and with the assistance of Detectives Boardman and Gallaher and Officer Trussell located him here. Watkins is twenty-three years of age, and has heretofore been in no trouble. He did rot deny the truth of the charge against him. When arrested the prisoner had $8 in his pcckets, which he said he had gotten by pawning his watch. As the detectives ap- proached the depot with their man last right on the way to Baltimore, Watkins re- inarked: “I suppose this means the peniten- tary for me.” Protracted Mectings. The initial service of the protracted meet- ings at the West Street Presbyterian Church last night was well attended. Rev.

Mr. Meno Lulley, an old and well-known resident of this city, died at 5:59 o'clock this morning as the result of a deplorable accident several! hours earlier. Mr. Lulley, who is nearly eigity-nine years of age, was in bed at the residence of his son, An- thony Lulley, S08 New Jerscy avenue, when the bed clothing caught fire from an ember from a lighted pipe. Although able to crawl frem the bed Mr. Lulley was almost prestrated. The smoke aroused other per- sons in the house, who quickly res:ued Mr. Lulley from his perilous situation, and then extinguished the blaze. Although everything possible was done to better his condition death eusued from the eifects of smoke and shook about the time men- tioned. Mr. Lulley was an active participant in the rebellion in Hungary, serving as an aid-de-camp en the statf of Gen. Kossuth.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Your editorial of the 29th instant, entitlea “Inadequate Penalties for Burglary,” should bear fruit in legislation. All householders are dceply interested in this subject. You have certainly earned the gratitude of ail nervous women, who look under their beds every night for Mr. Burglar. In the District of Columbia the maximum penalty for burglary or housebreaking is ten years. Ten years should really be the minimum term; but under no circumstances should such an offense be made capital. ‘The idea of inflicting the death penalty for ny Violation of mere property rights would le abhorrent to most people, and juries would rot convict. ‘or felonious breaking house at night the punishment might well be made imprisonment fer Hfe, if the burg- lar is found to be armed with a deadly weapon. Your argument on tl point i vranswerable; but the death penalty would Le too severe. If an unarmed burglar should commit a second olfense the penalty should be the same as in the case cf the armed house- breaker. THOMAS W. GILMER. Lived Together Only a Month. At Newport.

Waters of Little Rock, Ark., eariy last April filed a petition here praying that the Secretary of the Treasury be re- quired, by mandamus, to pass upon certain accounts of his as United States district at- torney for the eastern district of Arkansas. Today Judge Bradley granted the petition, directing that a peremptory writ of man- damus issue, ordering Secretary Carlisie to examine and consider, in his official ca- pacity, the said accounts, and to determine what is just and reasonable in payment of the services rendered by the petitioner. Mr. Waters stated in his petition that he was appointed district attorney in April, 1x89, and in 1891 investigated three diifer- ent cases brought to his notice by the dis- trict collector of internal revenue, no trials being had in any of the cases. For such services he presented a bill of $665, and the bill was approved by the judge and attor- ney of the United States for the said dis- trict. February last he requested the Sec- retary of the Treasury to decide what jount would be just and reasonable for the services, but the Secretary, while not denying the performance of the services, refused to decide, as requested, on the ground that he was without jurisdiction, and also held that no judge-could give a certificate upon cases not brought before him by indictment or information. Judge Prad!ey directed that the Secretary should show cause on the 13th of last April why the petition should not be granted, but the making of the return was subse- quently waived, and the matter was later argued before and submitted to Judge Brad- ley, his decision being rendered today. Costs were granted against the Secretary. Se THE COURTS. Equity Court No. 1—Chief Justice Bingham. Koenler agt. Talburg: John Ridout ap- pointed guardian ad Mtem. Fleicher agt.
