Grand Jury Considering Case Francis J. Kieckhoefer, It was stated at the city hall today that one or more indictments will shortly be re- turned by the grand jury against Francis J. Kieckhoefer, charging him, it is claimed, with the misappropriation or embezzlement of government funds. Mr. Kieckhoefer was for some time dis- bursing agent of the Department of State, and the 24th of last May he was arrested upon a charge of embezzlement of govern- ment funds while acting in such official capacity. Four days later he was arraigned in the Police Court on three different charges, the amounts involved amounting to a considerable sum. There he was held for the action of the grand jury, bail being fixed at $10,000 in each case. Later,in the day he was taken before Judge Cole in the Criminal Court, where the amount of bail was reduced ‘o $5,000 in each case. Those amounts he was able to give, and, Col. O. G. Staples qualifying as his surety, the ac- cused man was released from custody, to await the action of the grand jury. District Attorney Birney presented the charges to the grand jury about a month ago, it is understocd, and it is said that In due time that body decided to indict. The indictment or indictmenis are, it is rumor- ed, now being prepared by the district at- torney, and the papers will, it 1s believed, be presented to the court some time be- tween now and January 4, on which day ihe term of the present grand jury will ex- pire. of ——— HIS WIFE’S LETTER.

Talks Among the Citizens ef the City Going Back Inte the District. Evening Star Bureau, No. 121%N. Washington st., Alexandria, Va., December: 19, 1896. The Star was misinformed ‘ti {ts state- ment yestcrday that there.age but few cases of destitution in the ¢jty. On the contrary, there is a very deplorable condi- tion, and the police report that more appli- cations for relief are received day by day row than has been the case for, years past, and it is with great dirficulty that the cases can be relieved. Yesterday many cases were reported to the police, ahd relief was afforded to as large an extent as possible. Whenever a deserving man, wants as- sistance he is put to work with City En- gineer Dunn, and at the conclusion of’ the day 1s given a check on Overseer of the Poor Shock, which ehables, iin, to. get the amount in supplies. . Alexandria and the District. On nearly, every Street corner, where little crowds were standing last night and today, could be heard discussions'of the McMillan resolution relative” to ‘tHe ‘giving back of Alexandria City and, county into the Dis- trict “ten miles square,” and the opinions on the subject were varied. The benefit to the ‘city ‘was discussed in: all its phases. ‘The suggestion that this end of the District, if Alexandria should be taken back, would be used as the navy yard, where any ves- sel in the United States navy could harbor, met with approval, but back of the whole discussion could be seen that sentiment that rules the heart cf men—“better be a Viz- ginlan as we are than go into the District and lose our political suffrage.” It is a noted fact that most of the opponents who’ are outspoken in the matter are politicians holding office or having “aspirations.” Both of the Alexandria papers:aré out in edi- torials opposing the matter. > A Very High Tide. Last night the tide on the river front rose to a much higher point than usual, and it looked for a while as if mutch damage would be the result. The waves were lick- ing the doorstep of Jacob Bull's saloon, on the strand, and only about-an inch from the floor of his saloon. On the wharf at Reed’s dock were a large number of barrels of sugar belonging to A. D. Brockett, which were damaged to a small éxtent. Every available wagon was used to haul them to a place of safety. No other damage of a serious nature was done. . Miss Lillie Boyd. Dead. Miss Lillie Boyd, youngest daughter of Mr. John Boyd, died at the residence of her father, on Queen street, yesterduy after- noon. She was an active and popular mem- ber of Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church. Miss Boyd was in her twenty-fifth year. Her father, who had been nursing her, left at her death to’attend the funeral of his sister in Philadelphia today. sini Sods DEATH OF R, G.

In The Star's mail this morning was an appar- ently innocent letter which bore the post, mark of Weston, W. Va. When the letter was-opened an imposing visiting card dropped out. It was a beau- tiful specimen of the printer's art, done in dark blue ink on a fair white field. The inscripticn was this: W. POWHATAN CRUMP, Weston, W. Va., Candidate for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. The letter which inclosed the precious piece of cardboard read as follows: WESTON, W. Va., December 17, 1896. To the Editor of The Evening Star, Wash- ington, D. C.: The republican executive committee of Lewis county unanimously recommend W. Powhatan Crump of Weston for recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Mr. Crump was the only colored delegate from this State to the St. Louis convention. He is a graduate of Stover College at “Harper's Ferry, and also of the Spencerian Business College of Providence. He has successfully taught the colored schools of our city for two years.

Powhatan Crump, will have the support of all the District politicians who believe that District offices should be given to politicians wh residents of the District. seeds ————. __ THE THEATER HAT. How One Man Made the Best of a Baad Situation. “I don’t urderstand all of this wailing over the theater hat,” said the philosopher. “The men who do the howling must be sadly lacking in imagination, fancy, poetic appreciativeness, artistic sense. I sat be- hind @ theater hat last night at the comic Opera.’ I only go to an opera to listen to the music. I don’t care to see the People cavorting around the stage. Even if I had wanted to see them lest night I couldn't have done it, on account of the hat. But 1 enjoyed the evening prodigiously. As you know, I have traveled a good deal. Well, that hat, which was a good two feet across from tip to tip, and about as high, was reminiscent and suggestive of nearly all of the remote countries in the world in which I have at various times wandered, “It was'in large measure an epitome of my travels, and, with the gentle undercur- rent of the music, which I could hear but could not see played or sung, the hat brought back to me the roamings of my ‘salad days with delightful effect. The vel- vet on the left side of the hat, for instance, was clasped by a large, vari-hued mother- of-pearl buckle, which forced me to hark back to the mother-of-pearl conk collect- crs, bare-legged and sturdy, whom I used to watch at their collecting work when I was in Nagasaki, Japan, a quarter of a century ago. “The frame of the hat was fenced in by @ tall rim of black ostrich plumes. They made me think of the enormous ostrich ranch which a friend of mine in Tasmania tcok me over when I made my Australian trip a couple of decades ago. On the right side of the hat, underneath the rim, which Was turned up, there was a white bird, which reminded me more of a peculiar sort of snowbird, commonly seen in the ‘Tyrol, than any stuffed crnithological specimen I havo ever seen. It made me think of a yodeling fraulein who—but that doesn't Particularly matter. I was a boy then, Cee = “There were some bright red blossoms at the back of the hat that I have never seen duplicated in nature except in the thick, miasmatic tules of the Orinoco river. They recalled to my mind the strange, Dore-like fancies that oppressed me in my delirious moments when I got. the chagres ascending the Orinoco. The hat was fast- ened to the hair of the girl who wore it by a pin the hilt of which was an exact dupli- cate, somewhat in miniature, of -the dag- ger which seaman of the Russian navy earries at the end of his “and this ‘brought back to me the recollection of a Russian, sq which I saw once as- Minigter_Denby at Pekin has cabled the State Depart ment that the Chinese govern- ‘tment: has’ accepted the amended ini i regulations to prevent coilisions at INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.
