GRILLON, apl-mi5m-3p A Death Trap. “One mcre life has been taken by the District death trap,” said a South Wash- ington citizen to a Star reporter this morn- irg. “I mean the James creck canal,” he added. “If a private corporation owned the canal the law would have stepped in leng ago and forced the necessary protec- tion about the place. Congress has been asked to do something on more than one occasion, and while this matter is under consideration people are losing their lives. “This place is not only a death trap in this way,” he added, “but it is a death trap in that it is a disease breeder. The mud in the canal is several feet deep, and at low tide it is exposed to the sun. I remember on one occasion that an old sol- dier walked overboard and might have been saved had it not been for the deep mud, for when found he was in a standing posi. tion in more than three feet of the mud. GOV. O'’FERRALL’S VIEWS He Thinks That: Republican “Suocees Has Saved the Country. ‘Dees Not Recognise Mr. Bryan as a Democrat—Lawlessness in Alexandria County. A Star reporter interviewed Governor O‘Ferrall in Richmond Saturday on the re- sult of the recent presidential election. The governor said he had received many letters indorsing his attitude for sound money dur- inig the campaign, and when asked for an expression of his views, said: “I don't want to speak too quickly, for, as you are aware, there are a large number of people in this state waiting to pick to Pieces and harshly criticise my every word, in fact, I had rather not talk at all. How- ever, you can say that I think that republi- can success has saved the country from disaster and ruin. “Then you think that Mr. Bryan’s election would have swamped the country?” “I most assuredly do. Mrs. Lease, Bryan, Altgeld, Tillman & Co. would ruin anything with the Chicago platform back of them. I want nothing to do with that crowd.’ “Do you think the democratic party will remain split? “I certainty do, if it continues to have populist and anarchistic leaders. I am a democrat, have always been and shall al- ways be in principle, but I want none of the Mrs. Lease-Altgeld-Tillman-Bryan com- bination tn mine. I do not recognize Bryan as a democrat. He went to Chicago and fanned into blaze the free silver craze, which took along with it a great many hon- est men as though it had been an epi- demic.” Free Silver a Craze. “Do you think the agitation of ‘free sil- ver’ was a craze?” “Yes; it was nothing more or less than a mania. Had the word ‘free’ been taken from in front of it, not neariy so many would hav been caught by it. Many of the ignorant and illiterate thought they were going to have free money and a plenty of it. I am sorry that the good people of the south cut loose from those who had sent the most capital into her midst for the de- velopment of her industries and tied her- self to the little ‘silver burros’ of the west. When aid any of those western silver states ever send a dollar into the south that would aid in the development of its industries. On the contrary, has not nearly every dollar come from the north? But they cut loose from the north, spit in the teeth of New York, Massachusetts, Con- necticut and other states, which have spent money in developing her infant industries. ’ “Do you consider yourself a bolter, go ernor?” “Certainly not; that is absurd. There was nothing democratic in the Chicago platform but the tariff. They took up populistic planks, denounced President Cleveland for stopping the riots at Chicago and wanted to reform the Supreme Court to meet their ends. I should not have felt bound by any primary to support such rot. I have stood by the demécratic party for thirty-four years and worked hard for its succe: I had to cut loose from it when I refused to vote for Horace Greely, a repub- lican, and this time I could not vote for Bryan, a populist. Effect of the Election in Virginia. “What will be the result of the election in Virginia?” “I believe that confidence will be restored and prosperity return. It may be shaken, however, by Bryan’s agitation. The whole business, which really is originated by the silver trust, will never make the same fight as it did this time. The people know a thing or two. It has been a veritable cam- paign of education "fhe governor smiled when shown Bryan's address to the people in regard to the con- tinuance of the “free silver fight until 1900” —and thought it hardly consistent with his ™any speeches, in which Bryan called on democrats to abide by the ruling of the ma- jority at the Chicago convention, yet was not willing to consider his overwhelming defeat at the hands of the people of the United States, whose handsome majority decifed that they wanted no free and un- limited coinage of silver. Governor O’Ferrall called the attention of The Star reporter to the fact that Bryan had been engaged by the populists to stump the state of Virginia when he (O’Ferrall) was running for governor, but for some reason it failed to materialize. After Senator Daniel's Seat. It is said that Governor O’Ferrall is an aspirant for senatorial honors, being de- sirous of succeeding John W. Daniel. Sena- tor Daniel's successor will be chosen in 1897, and it is certain that he will be a can- ‘date for re-election. Governor O’Ferrall’s friends will push his candidacy to the utmost, and will leave no stone unturned to aceomplish that end. The next state senate will be a Daniel one, but the house of delegates Is as yet unde- termined. Consul General Lee is also among those who are said to aspire to Senator Daniel's seat, and many of his friends are so sore over his defeat by Senator Martin that they would make extra effort to elect him should he be a candidate. Lawlessness in lexundria County. While taiking to the governor, the rep- resentative of The Star referred to the con- tinuance of gambling, etc., in Alexandria county, which The Star has made such an effort to break up. The governor said that he had employed Mr. Leonard Marbury, commonwealth’s attorney of Alexandria city, to look after those matters, and, con- sequently, did not care to say much on the subject. ‘“‘You know, I can’t play detec- tive and county constable myself, and have to rely on the county officials. The whole matter is in Mr. Marbury’s hands.” Governor O'Ferrall said he received daily letters from citizens of Alexandria county, complaining of the lawlessness—some anopyinous and some signed. Of those signed the writers begged that the govern- or would not mention their names in con- nection with the matter, as they feared bodily injury. ——_—__-e-—_______ Fire at Linden. The dwelling at Linden, Md., owned by Mr. Thos. W. Riley, and occupied by Mrs. Josephine Glascott ‘and family, took fire Saturday at 11 o’clock and burned to the ground. The house was built by Mr. Riley some eighteen or twenty years ago, and was occupied as the family homestead for many years, and was recently rented by Mrs. Glascott. With the assistance of the neighbors the occupant of the house saved her plano and a large portion of her-furni- ture on the first floor. The house and fur- niture were both insured. Mrs. Glascott is now lying very ill at the residence of Mr. Charles Montgomery, as a result of the excitement. The residents of Linden and vicinity are very much chagrined at the destruction of the marsion at Locust Grove, as it has been the scene of a number of social gath- erings by both families who have occupied it. -—>—__.

A Democratic Caucus to Be Held This Afternoon—Balloting to Be- gin Tomorrow. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ATLANTA, Ga., November 7, 1896. The fight for United States Senator is raging. There are five candidates, with Gov. Atkinson single handed against the field, which embraces Capt. E. P. Howell, Hal T. Lewis, Steve Clay and James W. Robertson. A democratic caucus has been called for Monday afternoon in the hall of the house of representatives and a Ge- cision must be reached before adjourn- ment, or the populists and republicans will take a hand in the settlement of the con- test when the balloting begins on Tuesday morning Goy. Atkinson would win hands down were it not for the fact that his election to the Serate would precipitate another state campaign and the democrats of Geor- gia do not want to go through another right now. Really the democrats fear that the populists and republicans would combine on Tom Watson for governor and elect him. There is great c‘saffection in the state among the democrats and thousands of them would stay away from the polls just to punish the politicians for inflicting another campaign at this juncture. Sec- retary Hoke Smith is helping the governor through his peper, the Journal. On the other hand, the Constitution is for the field and especially for its editor-in-chief, Capt. Howell. Hal Lewis, the man who attained fame through his one-minute speech nomi- nating Wm. J. Bryan for the presidency at the Chicago convention, is keeping his campaign out of the papers as much as possible, and thereby is not antagonizing the others so much. There has been too much newspaper interfering for the 500d of some of the candidates, and for good politics. The sound money democrats are still hoping that there will be a deadlock and that Fleming du Bignon, Hoke Smith or Henry G. Turner will have a_ show. There does not seem to be much show of any one of them, however, as the silverites are determined to send one of their own ilk to the Senate. The populists and re- publicans would vote for the governor in a minute if they could get a chance. To Concentrate the Field’s Strength. An effort is being made to concentrate the field’s strength on Gen. Clement A. Evans, who was defeated for governor ty Atkinson two years ago. Gen. Evans is more of a sound money man than of a silverite, and that will hurt his chances. More than that, both Atkin- son and the opposition are trying to play the general for a sucker. He is on to the game of both and is sitting steady in the boat. Chairman Steve Clay of the democratic party has very little strength. He always goes to the bottom when he gets mixed up in a fight for himself. The others ure willing to use him and jolly him with fair promises, but when the time comes to ask for reward, he gets lei.. He looks like a sore man today. Goy. Atkinson is using all the - ppoint- ments in his power, county judgeships, trusteeships and everything of that kind to make votes. It is said that he made two votes by arranging a trade through which one member of the house gets a friend appointed assistant doorkeeper for half the session and another member gets the job for a constituent during the last half of the term. Half a dozen votes have been made of places for pages. There is practically no opposition to Charles R. Crisp, for h!s father’s unexpired term in Congress. Every county but one in the third district has indorsed him. Col. R. E. Lester, the member of Con- gress from the first district, is still in a very serious condition. It is not prob- able that he will be able to be present at the opening of the session. — Cut His Wife. Amos Warren, colored, is wanted by the police on a charge of having made an at- tempt to end his wife's life, The Warrens have lived in Brookland for some time, but last week they quarrc.ed because of jeal- ousy on the husband’s part. Saturday night when they came to the city on an electric car they engaged in a quarrel, and Annie was heard to say that she would not live with Amos again. When the transfer sta- tion at 2d and Florida avenue was reached the quarrel was renewed, and persons standing about the station noticed him to have his wife in his arms. They did not realize what had been done, however, until he released his hold on her, and they saw blood dripping from the woman's head. ‘Then it was seen that he had inflicted sev- eral cuts about the head, face and neck. It is alleged that a razor was used. War- ren was permitted to walk quietly away after he had done the cutting, no effort having been made by those at the transfer station to arrest him. Policemen Evans and Pearson were soon upon the scene, and after the woman had received medical ald they had her sent to Breedman's Hos- pital. FIRST PASTOR RECEIVED Rev. George 8. Duncan‘at the New Eckington Church. The Presbytery of! Washington Join in the Formal Ceremonies of Installation, Rey. George S. Duncan, Ph. D., was yes- terday installed as pastor of the Ecking- ton Presbyterian Church, corner of North Capitol and Q streets. The congregation has only recently completed its new church edifice, and Mr. Duncan was called as the first pastor. He acceg*ed the call, and the Rev. Dr. George S. Duncan. formalities of receiving him Into the Wash- ington city presbytery were gone through with at a meeting of presbytery Saturday afternoon. At that meeting a committee was appointed to conduct the installation yesterday, consisting of Drs. Bittinger, Sunderland, Alexander, Luccock, Ramsdell, Ennis and Little, and Messrs. McFarlan, Moore, Lyman, Carrington, Luckett and Ballantyne. ‘The exercises were conducted in the af- ternoon, Dr. B. F. Bittinger presiding, and the committee of presbytery occupying seats on the platform. After the singing cf the doxology and the invocation prayer, Dr. Sunderland read an appropriate Scripture selection, followed by prayer by Dr. W. C. Alexander, in which the petition was of- fered that the installation of the first pas- tor might mark the beginning of great things for the church. Dr. George N. Luccock preached the in- stallation sermon, his text being from John, xv., 4, “Abide in me and I in you.” Upon its conclusion, and after a solo by Miss Alice Kimball, Dr. Bittinger pro- pounded the questions required to be asked new pastors on such occasions. These ard the questions to the congregation were sat- isfactorily answered, Dr. Bittinger then an- nouncing the pastor duly installed. Dr. C. P. Ramsdell delivered the charge to the pastor, and Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis the charge to the people. Closing prayer was offered by Dr. George O. Little, and the benediction pronounced by the new pastor. After the service Mr. Duncan was heartily greeted by the members of his new congregation and his assoclates in the ministry. : An additional interest was given the ex- ercises from the fact that yesterday was the sixth anniversary of the Eckington Sunday school. Mr. Duncan received his college training at Williams College and Princeton University,' receiving degrees at both institutions. His theological course was taken at Princeton Theological Sem- inary, whefe he graduated in 1888 with the highest honors. In 1890 and ’91 he studied at Oxford and Berlin, specializing in the Semitic languages, and taking his doctor’s degree. He is a member of the American Oriental Society and ‘of the American So- ciety of Biblical Litézature and Exegesis, He contributes to prominent American and foreign biblical journals. Since 1891 he has been pastor in Harrisburg, and is promi- nent in Christian Endeavor work. ———— Dog Catchers at Work. The poundmaster’s men spend so much time disinfecting and destroying clothing from houses where there were contagious disease patients that the work of ridding the city of dogs is neglected. Last week the poundmaster’s men captured only twenty-four dogs, two horses and one cow. Most of the dogs were slaughtered, while the horses and cow were redeemed. A few sales were made during the week, there having been $13.25 collected. —_—_—-. -—.

A number of physicians have tendered their services free of charge to the Fior- ence Crittenton Hope and Help Mi: among them Drs. H. L. E. Johnson, M Moffatt, Francis A. St. Clair, Ada R. Thomas, Richard Kingsman, D. Perey Hickling and Nancy Rickards. L. S. Sprague, fifty-five years old, a clerk at the Hotel Vendome, was taken to the Emergency Hespital at an early hour Sunday morning, suffering from the effects of an overdose of morphine. At the hospital it was said last night that he was out of danger and would be discharged today. It is not believed that the morphine was taken with suicidal intent. During the forty-eight hours ending at 8 o'clock this morning the police made nine- ty-nine arrests. Twenty-five of the victims were held over night to get sober and most of those held for court were charged with violations of the municipal ordinances. ‘Very few serious offenses were charged. Saturday night about 8 o’clock the burn- ing of some brush near Howard avenue and 17th street made such a bright light that an engine company was called out. There was no damage done. Several times during the past two weeks the iiremen have responded to similar calls. William McReynolds, colored, arrested at Beltsville and sentenced to the Marlboro’ jail for assault, made his escape from the constable at the railroad station three days ago. At the time of his escape the prisoner wore handcuffs, but yesterday when arrested in Georgetown he was with- out the iron bracelets. Constable Harri- son came here last night and got him. An infant child of Frank West of 2629 I street was taken suddenly ill yesterday and died before a physician could be sum- moned. Coroner Hammett will investigate and give the necessary death certificate. About 8 o'clock last night No. 4 engine company was called out for fire in house 425 34 street southwest.
