Am Antopsy Ordered to Settle Rumors That the Deceased Com- mitted Suicide. Mr. Seaton Munroe died suddenly last night at the Hotel A-no, on 16th street. He entered the buffet of the hotel shortly before 11 o'clock and conversed for some time with Mr. Philip Roche, the proprieter. He was bright and cheerful, and went out apparently on his way home. He stopped, however, in the Wash room, and it was here that he was stricken, for his dead body was found in this apartment by Mr. Roche at midnight. Dr. Acker was imme- diately called in, and in the meantime ef- forts were made to resuscitate Mr. Mun- ree, but he was beyond all aid, and when the doctor arrived he pronounced him dead. ‘The body was iaken in charge by the au- thorities, and Mr. Munroe’s friends and reiatives were notified, whereupon the re- mains were removed to Gawler’s under- taking establishment, where they were vicwed today by Coroner Hammett. Dr. Hammett said there was no doubt that Mr. Munrce’s death had been caused by a stroke of apoplexy, but that in order to set at rest the suggestions that had been given publication to the effect that the dead man had committed suicide he would have an avtopsy performed, and for this purpose he nodfied Dr. Glazebrook, who will make the examination this afternoon. The funeral arrangements were taken in charge by Col. Malcolm Seaton, an uncle of the deceased, who was very much af- fected by the death of his nephew. The funeral will take place from All Souls’ Church next Monday afternoon, and the pallbearers will be selected from the mem- bers of the Metropolitan Club, of which Mr. Munroe had been a member since 1871, and his numerous friends outside of that crganization. Mr. Munroe was atout sixty years of age, and from the time he entered his teens was cre of the best-known people in Washing- ton, a leader in fashionable society and a welcomed guest to all gatherings. He was the son of Columbus Munroe, a leading citizen of the District, and his mother was 3csephine Seaton, the daughter of W. W. Seatcn, who, with Joseph Gales, published the famous National Intelligencer. Young Munroe was finely educated, and after ccmpleting his classical ecurses was graé tated from the Harvard law school, and, while regarded as a lawyer of superior at- tainments, he did not practice his profes- sion fer any length of time. He was a man of extreme genial disposition and elegant manners, and was a general favorite in club and social circles here for a third of ® century. During the past few days he had been particularly bright and cheerful over the appearance in the North American Review of an article written by him, en- titled “Recollections of Lincoln's Assassina- tion.” He spent Thursday evening visiting emorg his friends, including Mr. John A. Baker, and was in the best of spirits. His numerous friends are very indignant over the reports that Mr. Munroe had committed suicide, and especially was this the case among the members of the Metropolitan Club. Mr. Munroe had never married. His mother survives him, and resides in Mary- land. He was connected by close ties of re- latior ship with nearly all the leading fam- ilies of the District, including the Hagners, the Hills, the Randalls, the Ramsays and ethers of high standing and distinction. : —_-——. A Public Ballding Commini To the Editor of The Evening Star: In view of the experience of the gov- errment with the roof of the patent office, it certainly is astounding that the super- vising architect's office should have made a@ contract for putting an inflamable roof on the new post office, and still more as- tounding that Congress does not interfere and stop it. The patent office was. designed to be fire proof, and was practically, if not actually, s0, unGl there was put on it a pine roof covered with sheet copper. All know what the result was, a most destructive fire, de- stroying a large amount of material, the serious interruption of the business and the expenditure of several hundred thou- send dollars to repair the building. As The Star has well shown, there is even more danger with such a roof on the taller post cthce building, and I cannot understand why it was permitted, or why it is not stopped even now. I: is all very well to have a commission of architects to pass upon the designs for public buildings, but it seems to me that a much greater need is that of a commis- sion whose duty it shall be to see that the buildings are not only made safe, but also provided with better sanitary, arrange- ments in the way of ventilation and mat- ters of that sort. In these respects not one of the public buildings is anywhere near as well provided as our modern school buildings here and throughout the coun- try generally. Inasmuch as the supervising architect's position is a political one, the official be- ing changed with every change of ad- ministration, there ought to be a perma- nent commission composed of competent men, who should have absolute control of these and similar matters in all public buildings hereafter erected. If the proposed architectural commission can have added to it some first-class, com- petent builders, and one or more up-to-date sanitary engineers, that might answer the Purpose; but sure it is that some such commission is very much needed, and that it, in the end, would save the government many times its cost. For years past I have wondered that such a commission was not created. As it is now, there is no system or order about the business. Each supervising architect or his assistants get up designs and plans as he chooses or fancies, almost universally inferior to those of buildings erected by firms or corporations, or even private in- dividuals, makes contracts with a dozen different parties for different parts of the work, each one delaying the work of the other, thus making the erection of a public building consume ‘double the time that is required by private parties, and costing much more. Then, too, there ts little or no attention paid to the sanitary requirements, and absolutely none to the safety of life and limb of the workmen. With such an ex- ample ss is furnished by this post office building right here under the eyes of Con- gress, it certainly is strange that that body has net, long ere this, provided for some such commission as is here suggested.

Rawlings, 1505 Pa. ave.— Advertisement, ion Needed A MINISTER'S HEAD BROKEN. He Objected to Supporting His Step- daughter's Sweetheart. Rev. London Shears, colored, who is about forty-five years old, in addition to preach- ing the gospel in mission work in alleys, carries a hod for a livelihood. He lives at No. 212 G street southwest, and several months ago he took unto himself a wife. A widow wes the object of his affection, and the fact that she had a grown daughter- did not interfere with the minister's pros- pective happiness. After a courtship which lasted a reasonable length of time, the minister led the widow to the altar, and they were made one. : William Slaughter, it appeared, was in love with the daughter, and her mother did not object to his paying her such close attention. Neither did her stepfather, the minister, but he did object to supporting them. He reasoned that he was a hard- working man who supported his wife, and Slaughter, if he wanted a better half, should also go to work. It was because of his objection to his wife spending his earnings on them that there was trouble in the family yesterday. When the police were called they were in- formed that Slaughter had struck Shears on the head with a stone or brick and had injured his skull. He was in a serious condition, and the police took him to the Emergency Hosp!- tal, where Dr. Peralto performed a suc- cessful operation and relieved the pressure on the brain. Slaughter nad disappeared from the house when the police arrived, and has not yet been arrested. ——- A LECTURE ON CUBA. The Stur’s Correspondent to Talk Be- fore the Geographic Society. Especially appropriate at this time will be the illustrated lecture by Mr. William F. Mannix before the National Geographic Society Friday afternoon at 4:15 o'clock, in Metzerott Hall. Mr. Mannix {s well-known as The Star’s special Cuban correspondent, whose articles were the first published to describe the situation on the island in its true light. Mr. Mannix, probably, is in a better position to lecture on the condition of affairs in Cuba than any other American in this country today and he has chosen for his subject next Friday, “Cuba as Seen by a War Correspondent.” The National Geu- graphic Society has been very active in ar- ranging the lecture, and in order that others than members of the organization may have an opportunity to hear Mr. Mannix, a lim- ited number of tickets hav> been placed on sale at Metzerott’s. ——— HAS BEEN FOUND. : Fatted Calf Killed for Young Fannie Thornton. Fannie Thornton has been restored to her parents, after an absence of two months, and last night the fatted calf was killed. Fannie 1s only thirteen years old. Sunday morning, just two months ago, she disap- peared from heme before breakfast. Two days before she left the home of her par- ents, No, 926 V street, Fannie drank some carbolic acid, and this caused her parents to believe, after she disappeared, that she was dead. Her father, Mr. Presley Thorn- ton, who works in the bureau of engraving and printing, has spent considerable money in his efforts to find his child. He had made several trips to Virginia, and had also gone to Pennsylvania in search of her, and never but once did he have any reason to believe he would find the missing one. Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock Spe- cial Policeman Brockenborough, coiored, found Fannie near 10th and S streets. His son first saw her, and she spoke to him. Then she started to run, but the boy fol- lowed her until he met his father. Fannie went in a house near 9th and Florida avenue in her effort to escape. The special officer qouowed her, and then she went home with m. Her parents were more than delighted at her return, and Fannie said she had in- tended to return next week. She said that she went to Baltimore and lived at the house ef Mrs. Mattie Lane, No. 1353 Carey street. Her statement was that she returned from Baltimore yesterday, but it is believed that she has been here several days, and has stopped at a house on JDefrees_ street. Physicians who examined the girl think that her mind is affected. : ———— South Carolinians Meet. There was an exceedingly pleasant gath- ering of South Cerolinians last night at the monthly meeting of the South Carolina Scciety, held in the post-graduate hall of the Georgetown Law School. The Rev. Dr. Charies A. Stakely made an intensely interesting address, in which he urged the preservation of the social and Hterary history of the state. He was fol- lowed by Prof. C. Meriwether, who read a scholarly essay on “The Early Colonial History of South Carolina.” There has been talk of an effort being made to turn the society into a club. The members who were in favor of this looked up the history of many other state clubs organized here, and found that the main- tenance of such an institutien on the scale desired, would be a difficult thing. A number of new members were elected. The next meeting of the club will be the first Friday night in May, unless called to- gether eariier. . ———— To the International Bibliographical Conference. Prof. Simon Newcomb and Dr. Jonn S. Billings have been designated by the Sec. retary of State to represent the United States at the international bibliographical conference, to be held in London at the call of the Royal Society. Prof. Newcomb will sail on the 15th of April for London. ——— Has Been Returned. Charles L.

Dear Sir: Through!The Star, from which we obtain all our infomation, I learn that you have invented asidevice to curtain the legs’ of women on bigycles. This suggests to me a far greater>need in your line, for @ woman's feet andsankles are so like a man's that there is:as much reason for screening one as the dther. There is, really, in their freedom and exposure no sugges- tion of sex or indi¢ation of wantonness. The trim gaiters seem to me much more modest than the long:skirt, carrying, in its trailing folds, much which, though valuable on a farm, is undestrabie in a parlor; or the lifted skirt, the altitude of which cannot be accurately gauged by the wearer. But in the exposure of the bust, a dis- tinctive feminine feature, there is an im- modest suggestion of sex, which amounts to willfull wantonnegs, not to say premedi- tated solicitation. Will you not be kind enough to direct your inventive genius toward a curtain and fix- tures for our fashionable lad‘es in soclety— something which will shield the person from the throat to a little below the waist line, and which can be thrown about them by another, and locked with a spring, past their own power to unfasten? If you will do this, you will deserve the thanks of modest men as well as women— men who would never be any more disturb- ed by the free limbs of wheel women than by those of the peasant girls on the conti- nent, who are considered so innocently picturesque, RUTH G.

The case involving the erection of the pole and the stringirg of the wires at Penn- sylvania avenue and 15th street, about which there was so much trouble, was end- ed in the Police Court today by the de- fendants, Philip Bashford and Daniel Scan- lon, giving their personal bonds. ——— The Carroll Pictures, Geoffrey Jefferson and Willlam Thomp- scn, colored, for which warrants were is- sued yesterday, charging them with steal- ing the pictures frm the Carroll mansion, |. were arrested yesterday afternoon by De- tectives Horne and Weedon.

Jefferson fave bond in the sum of $500 for his eppearance, ard Thompson was lockea up. Lawyer Ricks appeared as counsel for Thompson when the case was called in the Police Court today, and he agreed to a Postponement until ‘Tuesday, in order that more of the stolen pictures might be re- covered. Lawyer McKenney and Mr. Brown, who ts executer for the estate, are more anxious to get back the pictures than they are to prosecute the alleged offenders. ——__ Seeking a Divorce. Webster Miller, through Attorney Camp- bell Carrington, today filed a petition for divorce from Gussfe Miller, to whom he was married here in December, f8s3. He states that they lived together until May 15, 1891, when, he charges, she willfully de- serted and abandoned him. Mrs. Miller 1s also charged with committing various acts of adultery. Two children, a boy of thir- teen and a girl of twelve years, both in the custody of their father, were born to them. ‘The Guests Alarmed. An alarm of fire about 1 o’clock this morning caused a big scare among the guests at the Arlington Hotel.
