The death of Dr. William W. Waring from injuries inflicted by Mordecai Plum- mer was investigated by a coroner's jury yesterday at Upper Marlboro’, Md. The jury consisted of Dr. R. 8. Hill, foreman; James Sears, Hamilton Hall, James Mitch- ell, George Dove, James Christmas, R. V. Pumphrey, J. Beale, J. E. Coffin, E. F. Wells, W. J. Ward and Richard Hereford. Dr. L. A. Griffith, whc was called to the dying man, described the wound. He said the deceased remarked to him, as he first krelt by his side, “This was a prearranged and concocted thing.” Capt. Joseph Ridgeway, who was behind the bar when the difficulty arose, said that Dr. Waring came to the liquor store about noon. He ordered a sherry cobbler at Mr. Plummer's suggestion, and spent the after- noon with others and Mr. Plummer dr:nk- ing. Not one harsh word was spoken by the men, and the afternoon passed very pleasantly. About 5 o'clock Mr. Plummer left his store to go to his dinner, leaving Dr. Waring and the bark2eper. In the in- terval others came in, and the doctor con- tirued to treat, but began to get into a frenzy about something. When Mr. Plum- mer returned, the doctor immediately made @ break for him, and, cursing him, followed Plummer behind the bar. It was then the doctor picked up a large glass, and, throw- ing it, struck Plummer over ‘the left eye, which staggered him, and also threw the witness to his knees. When Ridgeway got up, he said, the men had clinched, and both fell side by side. Ridgeway ran to sepa- rate them, when he found the doctor's throat was cut. He says the cutting was done while the men were on their feet. A knife was produced, which was used be- hind the bar for cutting lemons, but Ridge- Way denied that it was the knife with which the cutting was done. . Deputy Sheriff Waring, brother of the deceased, said that when he reached the dying man’s side his brother took him by the hand and said: “They got me in here, and 4t was a preconcerted plan for Plummer and them to cut my throat.” When asked If the men were ever at vari- ance, he said that Mr. Plummer had re- fused to pay his brother a medical bill, Which the doctor had charged when treat. ing Mr. Plummer’s wife recently, on the ground that it was a trumped-up bill, and that the lady was never so sick as rep- resented. Thomas Nicholson, who was first at the scene of the cutting, said; he heard the doctor say that ‘They shot me, cut my throat, and I am dying.” Eugene Jones, John Taylor and Thomas Tidings testified to hearing the men quar- reling. The jury then retired for a few moments and adjourned to meet today at 5 p.m. They intend to send for State’s Attorney Bellis, who resides in Hyattsville, to he Present at their session. They visited the barroom and surveyed the position of the counter and the place where the men lay on the floor. Plummer was Informed yésterday of the death of Dr. Waring.. He was much af- fected, and regretted the fatal meting. He admitted that he used his penknife to pro- tect himself when he found himself covered with blood. Yesterday morning h’s right eye was black from a blow of the fist, and a deep cut made by the glass Is over the left temple. The men were distant cousins, and thelr families are frequent visitors. Mr. Plummer was for many years gauger in the internal revenue department in Bal- timore, and during Cleveland's first term he returned to the county and opened a wholesale liquor establishment on Main street. He has been married twice. His first wife was a daughter of Governor Pratt of Maryland, by whom he had two children, and the second wife was a Miss Pendleton, a Virginia lady, and she is the mother of a boy and a girl.

The jury in the Atlantic City railway dis- aster yesterday rendered three separate verdicts, after five hours’ deliberation. The first 1s signed by the entire six, and is as follows: “We, the jury impaneled to in- vestigate the cause of death of P. H. Gold- smith, and others, find that the said per- sons whose bodies we have viewed came to their deaths by a collision of express train No. 23, on the Atlantic City railroad, and excursion train No. 70, on the West Jer- sey and Seashore railroad, at a point known as the Meadow tower, near Atlantic City, on the 30th day of July, 1896, at or about 6:48 p.m. (Signed) Charles Evans, Lewis Evans, Thomas J. Dickerson, J. H. Champion, Levi C. Albertson, Charles E. Adams.” The second verdict follows: ‘We, the un- dersigned jurors, also find that Engineer Edward Farr cf the Atlantic City railroad falled to have his engine under proper con- trol on approaching said crossing, and that ‘Towerman George F. Hauser in giving the excursion train of the West Jersey the right of way cver a fast express used bad Judgment. We are also of the opinion that Engineer John Greiner of said excursion train erred in not exercising greater care in crossing ahead of geaid fast express. (Signed) Chas. Evans, foreman; Thomas J. Dickerson, Chas. E. A 8." The third verdict reat “the undersign- ed jurors are of the opipion that the cause of the collision was the failure of Edward Farr, engineer of train:2%, to give heed in time to the semaphore signals set against him, and thus failed to have his train un- der proper control on approaching the sig- nal and crossing under:the rules. The un- dersigned jurors further declare that the ‘ttowerman, George F. Hauger, may have used poor judgment in:his estimate of the distance away of thevAtlantic City rall- road train No. 23 wherhe gave the white boards to the West Jetsey,,and Seashore excursion train No. 7 (Signed) Lewis Evans, Luvi C. Albertson, J. B. Cham- pion.’ = Hauser rot being held:criminally respon- sible, will be discharged by: the coroner. Under the New Jersey faw, the jurors will recelve a total of $1 each for their services. They have donated the $6 to the free bed fund of the City Hospital. Michigan Bank Failure. The Ingham County Savings Bank at Lansing, Mich., did not open its doors for business yesterday morning. The ~ as- sets of the bank are $285,000, mostly in notes and mortgages, and the deposits are $144,000. Cashier “May stated ‘that he had not the slightest doubt. of the ability of | the bank to pay its depositors in full. The closirg of the instRution was decided upon at a meeting of the directors Thurs- day night, and was caused by the continued withdrawal of deposits and inability to make quick collections. Gold to Canada. A withdrawal. of $100,000. of gold was made from the subtreasury yesterday for Canadian account, bringing the known shipments to Caneda this week to $650,- 000.

A Georgetown the Unlawful Attentions of Two Men to One Wom: Columbus Fearson, a white man sixty- four years of age, shot and perhaps fataily wounded John L. Ford, a ninetcen-year-old white boy, about 8 o'clock last evening, in Cissel’s alley, between 32d, Potomac, Water and Grace streets. The affair grew out of the young man paying attention to a wo- man with whom Fearson was living. Two shots were fired, only one taking effect, striking the right side of the abdomen, passing through the bladder and lodging in the intestines, not far from the skin. Fear- son did not attempt to escape after com- mitting the crime, and a few minutes after- ward was placed under arrest by Police- man Seymour. Fearson, who is perhaps better known as uum, has a wife and three children living, residing on 2ist street near L street, but he has not lived at home for several years. For the past two months he has been liv- ing in Cissel’s alley with Mrs. Lillie M Cooper, the wife of an engineer on the U. 8S. S. Maine, a woman well known in that locality. Ford and Mrs. Cooper have been quite in- timate, it is alleged, and the frequent calls of the young man at the house were object ed to by Fearson. On more than one occa- sion he had warned the young man to cease paying visits, but the warnings were unheeded. Only last Saturday the two had an altercation, in which, it is claimed by Fearson, Ford struck him with; a stone. Sunday another warning was given, and by way of emphasis Fearson drew a pistol and threatened to shoot the boy if he show- ed up again.- The young man stated that he would visit the house as often as he pleased, and he was carrying out this in- tention when shot. The Fatal Visit. The visit which culminated yesterday in the shooting began as early as 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Ford called at the house, and is said to have remained with the wo- man until after 6 o'clock. He went home, and returned shortly before 8 o'clock. Hav- ing some hesitation about entering the place, fearing that Fearson was around, he Stood on the outside of the house and whistled for the woman. - Instead of seeing her, he saw her irate paramour, who raised a windew, and drawing a revolver, fired two shots in rapid succession. Ford tm- mediately sank to the ground, but pacilally recovering his strength, managed to drag himself to the front of the house, wnere he fell on the sidewalk unconscious. He was picked up a few minutes later by the police and was hurriedly driven to the Emer- gency Hospital. The sounds of the shots at- tracted quite a crowd to the scene, and many people present solemnly remarked that something had occurred which they had expected to see long before. Mrs. Cooper, the woman over whom the shooting was causej, {s about thirty years of age, and has an attractive face. She left her husband about a year ago, having been living with Fearson nearly half cf that time. She met Ford about three months ago. After the shooting she disap- peared, and has not since been seen. The Injured Man. John Ferd, the injured man, is a black- smith by trade, and lives at 1036 Jefferson street. He bears a good reputation. He lived at the home of his sister, who was aware of his association with the Cooper woman, and repeatedly urged and begged him to cease visiting her, but to no avail. At the hospital he did not express any ‘fear when told that his wound was very dan- &crous, and would perhaps ;esult fatally. Lum Fearson 1s a well-known man and kas lived in Georgetown all his life. At present he is employed as a rigger, but in years past had a rather shady occupation. During the robbery of the paymaster’s boat on the canal in 1873 he was one of the main witnesses who sent the principals to the penitentiary for a long time. They threatened to. kill him when their term ex- Pired, but nothing was ever done. He was also connected, so it is claimed, with the stealing cf the books and other papers of the old board of public works, before the present form of government in the District, and placing them under the door of Mr. Columbus Alexander, a well-known resident of this section of the city. He was employ- ed by the people behind the scheme. Fear- son*had a reputation in other ways, but of late has kept himself straight. Fearson Committed to Jail. Today Columbus Fearson was taken to the Poilce Court on a charge of attempted murder. Because of the condition of young Ford the case was continued and the de- fendant was committed to jail to await the result of his injuries, without bond. _ oO THE HOLD-UP A FIASCO. Paying Teller Shot the. Man Who At- tempted Robbery. An ineffectual attempt was made to hold up the paying teller of the Southern Savings and Trust Bank at Jacksonville, Fla., yesterday to secure $5,000. As ihe result, Walter L. Chamberlain received a bullet wound in his abdomen, the bullet passing entirely through the body and coming out at his hip. Chamberlain en- tered the bank shortly after noon and asked to see the cashier, A. F. Perry. Archie Hubbard, paying teller, informed the stranger that Perry was out. The man said he desired to see him par- ticularly, and complained of being sick. Hubbard told him he could wait, and invit- ed him to a seat inside the railing. Hub- bard returned to his desk, but noticed that the man was eyeing him rather closely. He therefore made an excuse to go to the teller’s apartment, where he secured some checks and also a revolver, which he put beside him on the desk. The stranger then walked up to Hubbard and threw a note on the desk, reading as follows: “Mr. Perry: The bearer of this, Mr. Den- ny, is in our employ. Among others he has been assigned on commission. We are in need of money. We know your aspirations and future prospects. Do not hesitate, but give him $5,000 at once. If you refuse or give any alarm, either by noise or sign, he will dash the contents of the glass he holds in his hand in your face. If you know any- thing about muriatic acid you will know the consequences. Do what we demand and it will be returned to you in two weeks and you will be unharmed. Refuse and you are ruined for life. Act quick. “(Signed) THE CUBANS.” The man took a bottle out of his ket and began pouring the contents into a glass. Hubbard, who is a young man, saw that he had a desperate case before him, and wishing to gain time said that he did not have the money. The man turned slightly as if to throw the vitriol and Hubbard wrabbed for his revolver. Chamberlain crouched behind the desk, and when Hub- bard made a step forward grabbed at the pistol and attempted to turn it toward ‘ubbard. The latter succeeded in turning it the other way, however, and pulled the trigger. Help then arrived and Chamberlain was forced to a seat in a chair and held. He had returned the glass with the vitriol in it to his pocket, where it overturned, run- ning through his coat to the floor. The coat was burned and eaten by the acid. Chamberlain wore a false mustache and had an accomplice who stayed at the outer door, but who pulled off his false whiskers and ran when the shot was fired. He was not apprehended. The chances for Chamberlain's recov: are very slight. He is evidently deranged. Three months ago he was in the fish busi- ness at Jacksonville, the firm being Cham- berlain & Cole. He has been financially embarrassed and this may have preyed upon his mind. Chamberlain at ‘ons the Fesided at Louisville.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Youthfal Sneak Thieves Who Have Been Robbing Houses. High Speed on the New Electric Car Line—Overcome by Heat— Items of Interest. Alfred Cole, aged rffhe, and Enoch Binns, aged eleven, colored, were arrested yester- day by Policeman Conlon on a charge of petit larceny, and this morning were each sent to jail for thirty days by Judge Mills in the Police Court in default of a fine of $5. The two boys, with another companion, have been doing considerable sneak thiev- ing In this part of the town, selecting small stores for their operations. They came to Georgetown Thursday, and visited the store of Mrs. Mary Chamberlain at 324 and C streets, and after the proprietress had gone upstairs stole $1.25 from the money drawer. Encouraged by their suc- cess, they visited the place again yesterday, but Mrs. Chamberlain kept a lookout, and caught the boys with their hands full of nickels. She grabbed one, but he wiggled away. Cole wis caught, and later in the day Binns was arresied in_his home in Phillips court, Washington. The trio work- ed several stores in “Boston” in a similar manner. A Street Car Collision. ‘What came near being a serious accident was narrowly averted yesterday afternoon shortly after 5 o'clock. The wagon of a huckster, with Arthur Coleman, a young man, in charge, and a boy on the seat, came down 34th street at that time, and turned in O street. Car 218 of the Metro- Politan railroad, with trail car 2, was coming down the street at a rapid rate, and before it could be checked dashed into the wagon. The horse was thrown down and one shoe wrenched from his hoof. The boy in the wagon was thrown out on the granite blocks, while Coleman was wedged in such a position as to stun him. No one was badly huri, though the wagon was dain- aged by the collision and the horse’s knee was skinned. By the residents of the neighborhood there is considerable com- plaint of the speed of the cars at this point, and the accident yesterday was said to be due to the failure of the motorman to ring his bell. Fanerals. The funeral of Mrs. Ellen Carter Boges, who died Wednesday afternoon at her residence, 3032 Dumbarton avenue, as pub- lished in The Star at the time, was held at noon today from her late residence.

Payne was held yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock from his late residence, 3013 Dumbarton avenue, and was largely attended. The services at the house were conducted un- der the auspices of Potomac Commandery, No. 3, and at the grave by Potomac Lodge, No. 5. i Death of Mrs. Hunter. Mrs. Jane Hunter, widow of Wil- Mam Hunter, died last night at the resi- dence of her daughter, Mrs. Edward P. Rhodes of 1426 35th street. The deceased was cighty-one years of age. For four years she had been an invalid, and dur- ing the last nine months had been closely corfined to her room. Her illness dates from a severe fall, which produced partial paralysis of the brain. Mrs. Hunter leaves four children, Robert,. James, Alice and Mary. The funeral will take place on Monday, from the residence of Mrs. Rhodes. Overcome by Heat. John Venable, a colored laborer of 2404 Dumbarton avenue, was overcome by the heat yesterday. He was found lying at the corner of 34th and M streets at 10 o'clock in the evening. The ambulance of the Emergency Hospital was called and the man carried to that place for treat- ment. After being restored to conscious- ness the man stated that he fell at the corner about & o'clock, and had lain in the one place until found. No one saw him, and it was only by accident that he was found, the negro having selected a se- cluded spot. A Prodigal Son. Another runaway boy has returned to the parental roof again full of repentance and begging forgiveness. This time the run- away is Fred Branzell, a fifteen-year-old white boy, whose parents lve at 1419 36th street. About ten days ago the boy disap- peared from home, and though a search was made no trace of him could be found. From the story of the boy he went to Richmcnd, and vainly endeavored to get work. Finding all efforts fruitless, and being fcotsure and tired, he wandered back to his home again. Notes.

The Imperial Chancellor of Germ: Resigns and Leaves Berit The Neuesten Nachrichten of Berlin an- nounces that Prince Hohenlohe, the Ger- man imperial chancellor, has resigned, and that he has left Berlin for Kassel. It is added that further changes are pending in the ministry of finance. Clodwig Carl Victor von Hohenlohe- Schillingsfurst, Prince of Ratibor and Cowey, was born at Rotenbourg, Bavaria, March 31, 1819. He is precisely six months older than Prince Bismarck, although Bis- marck was deposed by Emperor William several years ago on the ground tha: he was too old to attend to the duties devolv- ing upon the office of chancellor. Hohen- lohe ‘was educated at Heidelberg, Berg and Gottingen. He filled a few minor govern- ment offices until 1867, in which year he became minister of foreign affairs and pres- ident of the council. At first Prince Hohenlohe assumed the attitude of the Bavarian patriot and de- voted all hfs energy to stem the tide of Prussia’s power and to preserve the auton- omy of the smaller states. He led the forces which opposed the consolidation of these states under one head and openly op- Posed the policy of Bismarck. At the close of the Franco-Prussian war, however, he reversed his attitude and became an ardent advocate of the incorporation of Bavaria into and the establishment of the German empire. In 1874 he was sent to Paris as the -3er- man ambassader. In 1885 he was appoint- ed governor of Alsace-Lorraine. In this position he elicited the detestation of all his subjects, owing to the institution of se- vere laws and his strict demands for the observance of these measures. In 1843 Hohenlohe was married to the Princess Marie de Sayu-Wittgenstein, by whom he has five children—three daughters and two sons. He is a ayy le 4 ly and possessed an na aaron intellect, which characteris- cts Case Og He Dermott ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS One Man Died From the Effects of the Heat Yesterday.

Shortly before 4 o'clock Mr. Har- vey Mills, who had charge of the gang of men, noticed that Campbell was suffering @ great deal with the heat, and told him to go and rest himseif in the shade, but this Campbell refused to do. Shortly afterward Mr. Milis saw Campbell stagger, and run- ning to him, caught him in his arms as he was about to fall. He was placed upon @ train, which happened to be due, and brought to his home in this city and medi- cal attention given him, but he only lived about a half an hour, he having never re- gained consciousness, Business Men's League.

Hundreds of Men and Boys Frequent the Beach Nightly The attention of the District Commission- ers has been called to the practice of hun- dreds of men and boys going in bathing at the bathing beach after dark without re- gard to the little formality implied in a bathing sult. Today a Star reporter asked Superintendent Stevens to what extent the Fractice had gone. He said: had reason to suspect the beach was used in this way, and last night I stayed there for about an hour, and I think that more than a hundred men and boys stripped along shore and went in naked. There fs an old rule of the Commisstoners forbidding this, but it has never been made law by entry In the police regulations, so an arrest would not result In any penalty. Yes, I am aware that it Is a generally accepted law that bathers may enter the Potomac with- in the District naked after dark, but that would not necessarily include the beach, because that much of the Potomac has been placed under the control of the Commis- sioners for bathing purposes by especial act of Congress, and they are authorized to make such rules for its government as they think are for the public welfare. There were 744 entries on our book of bathers at the beach yesterday, and I have no doubt that during the night the number was run up to 1,000, “I don’t like to interfere with so much genuine enjoyment, but I fear that these night carousals without a lifegu will re- sult In drownings. Possibly darkness with its mystery may engender sufficient cau- tion to counteract its dangers, but I would advise all who possibly can do so to come between 10 air. and 7 p.m., while they may have the watchful care of the beach at- tendant > Miss Terry’s Condition Critical. Miss Gertrude Terry, the daughter of Mr. O. C. Terry, a clerk in the pension of- fice, and who resides at No, 1243 North Capitol street, was brought up from Colo- rial Beach lest night In a serlous condi- tion. It appears that Miss Terry, who ts only fifteen years of age, accompanied the family of Mr. William H. Richards to Colonial Beach Thursday last. Shortly after their arrival at the Beach Mr. and Mrs. Richards, their daughter Ruth and Miss Terry went in bathing. Both the young ladics Were timid and therefore would not venture out very deep in the water, but remained near the shore. A large number of bathers were in the water at the time, and a man, who was a stranger to Gertrude and Ruth, dived down along the bottcm and caught Gertrude by the foot and pulled her under the water. As soon as the young lady reached the surface she gave a scream and then fainted and sank; but in a few seconds she was rescued in an unconscious condition and carried to the Walcott House. pr. C. A. Weaver of Washington attended her and after an hour's hard work finally restored her to consciousness, but her nerves were entirely unstrung, and the doctor pronounced her in a critical condition and sald that it would be impossible to remove her to her home in Washington. Mr. Richards came up on the boat that evening, leaving his wife at the Beach to attend the young girl, and in- formed Mr. Terry of the sad accident to hs daughter, and he proceeded to the Beach yesterday and brought his daughter home where she was attended by Dr. J. D. Brac field, who found that her condition was ex- tremely critical. The man who pulled Miss ‘Terry under the water saw what he had done and dur- ing the excitement which followed made his escape, and every effort made to find his identity failed. —— THE COURTS.
