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 }ive 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 rooms 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 be 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- orable 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 until about 5 o'clock, when a friend called and fcund his dead body on the floor. One nand 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. 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- out medical attendance, and beiore he could be buried it was necessary to have a death certificate. This could he 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 made by some of the Grand Army, friends of the deceasel, so the authorities say, and the police were told b 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 this Precinct Detective Barnes was sent out, and, as al- ready stated, Stewart was put behind the bars. Coroner 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 report of foul play, although, as a precautionary 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 eath 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 cf the reuse some time before his (Stewart's) going there. Brown, he said, had always bcasted that he had considera- 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 large 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 some of them that the boxes and Grawers in the room had been ransacked, but the police had been unable this afte! necn to find any proof that there had been a robbery committed. Stewart Released. Deputy Coroner Glazebrcok 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 First race, four and a half furlons maiderns—Argyle III, 5; Solomon, 110; Petite, 95; Tyro, 95; Topochico, 95; H., 95; Milton II, 95; Miss Lewi: La. frish 95; Hands Second race, six and a quarter furlong, selling—Imp.

Sees The Venerable Meno Lulley’s Death |The Report Revived That He ts to Due to an Accident. Mr. Meno Lulley, an old and well-known resident of this city, died at 5:30 o'clock this morning as the result of a deplorable accident several hours earlier. Mr. Lulley, who is nearly eighty-nine years of age, was in bed at the residence of his son, An- thony Lulley, 808 New Jersey 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 prostrated. 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 ensued from the effects of smoke and shock about the time men- tioned. Mr. Lulley was an active participant in the rebellion in Hungary, serving as an aid-de-camp on the staff of Gen. Kossuth. With the general and his staff he came to this country in 1850 as an exile, and took up a residence in Washington the follow- ing year.

According to the reports submitted the second subdivision, Associated Charities, opened a room at No. 2015 H street north- west, December 1, 1894, and closed it April 1, 1895. Mrs. M. H. Chapman was“placed in charge to receive and distribute food, &e., to the needy. There were 1 applications for ald, and 368 families received supplies of fuel and food.

Two hundred and ninety-t-vo visits of investigation were made, and cne adult and three children were sent to hospital, and employment was obtained for three applicants. —— Pythian Pleasures. An entertainment was given at the hall of Lodye No. 24, Knights of Pythias, last evening, by Capital Lodge Pleasure Club. which proved to be very successful! and en- tertaining. Capital Lodge is composed en- tirely of members of Lodge 24, and being cr anized for social purposs, it takes this way of carrying 2ut its purpose. ‘Those who took part in the evening's entertain- ment were Albert. Gorman, Master Archie Thomas, Mr. Bryan, Miss Pearl Mays. Master Harry Meiners, Miss Lottie Nell Ra Mr. Keh, McCabe brothers, Misa Miumie Barron, Miss E tt, Miss Matchett. Master Gol'tsmith, Mis3 Blanche Riley. Masters Burk and Downing, Miss Hum- phries, Master Chrissie Sproesser, and the Montrose Mandolin Club, — “Uncle John and the Rubies.” ‘A capital story, by Anthony Hope, will be published complete in Saturday's Star. It is entirely different In style from the popular Zenda stories, but is none the less entertaining. Give $800,000 for'a Cathedral Here. The repert to the effect that Mr. George Vanderbilt’ would endow an Episcopal uni- versity in this city has been revived in New York, with the additional statement that Mr. Vanderbilt proposes ‘to contribute $300,- 00 for this purpose. The attention of Rev. Randolph H. Mc- Kim, rector of the Church of the Epihany, ard a member of the board of directors for the new Episcopal cathedral, was called to this rumor today, but he knew nothing of its truth. Mr. Henry E. Pellew, also a member of the board of directors of the new Episcopal cathedral, had his attention called to the report and took some pains to, investigate it. He has just returned to this city, having heard of the alleged endow- ment while at Lenox. At that time Mr. Vanderbilt was making a trip in the west and could not be communicated with, but the brother-in-law of the latter, Mr. Sloan, when questioned concerning the report, Knew nothing of its foundation. The re- ported endowment of an Episcopal universt- ty here is not credited. If it were a fact, the board of directors of the new Episcopal cathedral would be likely to know of it, as it is through this body that any action to- ward establishing such an institution would be taken. But there are many branches of the new cathedral that it is thought will take form eventually, and a university is one of tkem. Prominent Episcopalians here are greatly interested in securing a substantial fund for the establishment of a great insti- ion of learning, which shall rank along- le those already begun by the Catholi and Methodists. is u 2 ————— PEPPERED WITH COW BONES. itrange Adventure of Two Brooklyn Boys on a Cow Catcher. Leander Miller, fifteen years old, ard Raymond Miller, his brother, who is two years younger, are being cared for at the first police station until they can be sent to their home. According to their story they live at No. 379 Marion street, Brook- iyn, N. ¥Y.

These cases were reported to the police either last evening or th’s morning, and the detectives are now looking for the thieves The overcoats taken from the stores, it is thought. were probably stoien by thieves from some other city, who came here on a ying visit, and then left with their plun- ler. AFFAIRS IN, GEORGETOWN Arrest of a Baltimore Man Oharged With Grand Larcen: The Miscellaneous Intelligence 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 not deny the truth of the charge against him. When arrested the prisoner had $8 in his peckets, 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- marked: “I suppose this means the peniten- tiary for me.” Protracted Meetings. ‘The initial service of the protracted meet- ings at the West Street Presbyterian Church last night was well attended. Rev. Dr. Luccock of the Metropolitan Church de- livered a discourse of power, his theme be- ing “The Influence of Christian Example in Daily Life to Win Others Into the Fold of Christ.” The singing, conducted by Mrs. Hunter, the precentor of the church,was ex- cellent. Mrs. Bennett presided at the organ and Miss Graham at the plano, the two in- struments playing in unison. Tonight the Rev.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Your editorial of the 29th instant, entitled “Inadequate Penalties for Burglary,” should bear fruit in legislation. All householders are deeply interested in this subject. You have certainly earned the gratitude of all 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 penaliy for any violation of mere property rights would be abhorrent to most people, and juries would not convict. For felonious breaking into a dwelling ‘house at night the punishment might well be made imprisonment for life, if the burg- lar is found to be armed with a deadly weapon. Your argument on this point is unanswerable; but the death penalty would be too severe. If an unarmed burglar should commit a second offense the penalty should be the same as in the case of the armed house- breaker. THOMAS W. GILMER. — Lived Together Only a Month. At Newport. Ky., July 26, 1892, Thos. P. Bodkin, a justice of the peace, made D. W. Peoples and Lizzie Loretta Rhrines, both of Ohio, man and wife. Today, through At- orney W. Small, Mrs. Peoples prayed the court here to grant her a divorce, with per- mission to resume her maiden name. The petitioner, a stenographer and type- writer, claims that while they lived together for a month, they never cokabited, and she charges that her husband suddenly left her June 10, 1893. Incendiarism. Last evening about 8:20 o’cleck an at- tempt was made to burn the framework about the wocd yard of J. Maury Dove, corner of 2ist end I streets. The fire was discovered by a citizen, who extinguished the flames without turning in an alarm. ‘The police of the third precinct are investi- gating the case, and it is now believed that the fire at Payne’s wood yard the night be- fore was the work of an incendiary.

Charles C. Waters of Little Rock, Ark., early 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 Carlisle 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 Ap il, 1889, and in 1891 investigated three differ- 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 umount would be just and reasonable for the services, but the Secretary, while not denying the performance of the services, srefused 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 Bradley 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 Jiige Bra ley, his decision being rendered toda: Costs were granted against the Secretary.
