Glaze- brook represented the coroner's office, and was prepared to speak on the question of embalming bodies before certificates of death had been furnished by physicians. Dr. George Macdonald represented the Ec- | lectic Medical Society, and appeared to op- pose an amendment of the pharmacy bill, which, he claims, discriminates against members of his society. Mr. Joe Barnard, attorney, and E. S. Hutchinson appeared to oppose the same amendments in behaif of Mrs. Hutchinson's pharmacy. Dr. G. W. N. Custis appeared in behalf of the Homeopathic Medical Society of the Dis- trict.

A large delegation of colored men from South Washington called upon the Com- missioners this morning to present a peti- tion opposing the removal of the Anthony Bowen school. Commissioner Ross informed the delega- tion that the Commissioners had no thought of changing the school. The school board had reported against the change, and the Commissioners would cer- tainly take no action unless recommended by the school board. He said the improve- ments to the school were going on, and no change would be made. It would require an act of Congress, anyhow, to make any change. Suburban Railroad. The bill to reincorporate the Suburban Railroad Company has been adversely re- ported by the Commissioners. This road was chartered in 1892, but failed to exist as provided after a lapse of six months, and the charter was accordingly nullified. The projectors now want to build the road, it is said, but the Commissioners are opposed. They think the interests of the public can better be subserved by extending existing city lines. Ordered by the Commissioners, The Commissioners today ordered: That 460 feet of 16-fcot sewer and 1 man- hole be built in Hartford street between 11th and 12th streets northeast. That 310 fect of 10-foot sewer and 1 man- hole be built in 12th street northeast be- tween Hartford and Lansing streets. _ That 315 feet of 21-foot sewer and 1 man- hole be constructed in Hartford street northeast between 10th and 1ith streets. That 70 feet of 10-foot sewer and 1 man- hole be built in east side of 12th. street southeast between D and E streets, under the permit system; also that 39 feet of 10- foot sewer be built as an extension of said sewer to drain lot 14, square 1018. That 1,000 feet of 12-foot water main be laid in Florida avenue, from the north side cf Porter place and Florida avenue to New York and Florida avenués northeast. An Appointment.

No public receptions have been arranged, and the ex-queen will prob- y make any arrangements about Sei ineerpaule places until the weather permits. — FLAGMEN AT CROSSI) ‘Ss Provided for by the District Commis- sioners Today. ‘The Commissioners this afternoon amend- ed the Police Regulations by providing that rapid-transit railroad companies should employ flagmen at all points where thelr respective roads intersect. ‘This is the culmination of an agitation that has been going on for some months. The Commissioners first called the matter to the attention of the railroad companies where the Metropolitan crosses the tracks of the Capital Traction Company at 7th and B streets northwest. The president of the Capital Traction Company favored the plan, and said his company was ready to comply with such a regulation. “The order, hewever, was resisted by the then pr dent of the Metropolitan company, and after several hearings. the subject was dropped, and nothing came of it. When the new president of the Metropolitan road came into office the subject was revived. He had a conference with the president of the Traction company, and the result of the interview was the establishment of a code of signals for the government cf the trains. This action was reported to the Commissioners, and they seemed well satisfied with’ the arrangement, and it was thought nothing more would be neard of flagmen. Chairman Babcock, however, destroyed all calculations in this respect. He had seen several narrow escapes at these crossings, and in a letter to the Com- missioners called attention to the urgency of providing flagmen at these crossings, in the interest of the public safety. Then again the subject was discussed, and the Commissioners determined to insist upon flagmen. The police regulations did not cover the case, and it was thought best to ask Congress ‘for legislation on the sub- ject. But the attorney for the District ad- vised against this, and recommended that the police regulations be amended to cover the case. This was accordingly done today, the amendment being to seciion 28 of article 10 by the addition of the follow- ing: ‘And from and after the direction of the Ccmmissioners to any street railroad com- pany to station a flagman at such -rossing it shall be unlawful for any motorman cr gripman ‘Yo run or operate any motor or grip car over such crossing in the absence of a flagman. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall on convic- tion thereof be punished by a fine of not less than five dollars nor more than twen- ty-five dollars. According to law this regulation must be published for thirty days, which would bring the operation of the new order March —_.___ A Missing Husband. At the reauest of Mrs. Robert Wedding of 6 3d street, Inspector Hollinberger to- day addressed a communication to the sherift of Charles county, Maryland, asking that a search be made for her husband, who left his home about two weeks ngo. Mr. Wedding intended to visit a brother at McConkie, Md., but nothing has been heard from Lim. A rumor has reached Mrs. Wed- ding that her husband was found frozen to death in Prince George's county, and she is in a greatly distressed frame of miad. ges Charges of Assault. The assaulting of Policeman R. L. Witt at 29th and K streets led to another arrest Saturday, and one more warrant is expect- ed today. Riggs Mason, a well-known young white man, was arrested as par- tictpating in the assault, but his arrest is partly due to a misunderstanding. In as- sisting the officer to arrest the party, ‘t is claimed that he held the policeman’s arm, preventing him from properly defending nimself and allowing him to receive sev- eral blows in the face. Mr. Rudolph UII- mer, a well-known resident of this city and a*prominent member of Morris Post, G. A. R., who was present, witnessed the incident of Mason, and helping the officer struck Mason across the head with a walking stick for interfering with a Police- man. Mason swore out a warrant chargin, Mr. Ullmer with assault. = Capture of the Competitor. The resolution passed by the Senate Sat- urday relative to the capture of the Com- petitor by a Spanish warship was intro- duced by Senator Morgan June 3, 1896, and called upon the President for: information regarding the capture. Since that time the President has transmitted to Congress cor- respondence: relative to the Competitor and the prisoners. ee os . ‘The President hag approveda number of of the widow of Gen. |} kins and E..

Judge Kimball in the Police Court today imposed a fine of $250 or three months in FAMOUS WILL CASE The Van Riswick Trial Dragging Its Slow. Course. Witnesses and Their Testimony Given | Today—The Memorandum and Ac- count Books Submitted. When the third week of the Van Riswick will case closed Thursday afternoon, the di- rect examination of Mrs. Martina Carr, whe is contesting the will, that of her mother, the late Mary Van Riswick, had just been concluded, and an adjournment was order- ed by Judge McComas before her cross- examination was commenced. The cross- examination of Mrs. Carr was commenced this morning, the first day of the fourth week cf the trial, by Mr. Jere M. Wilson of counsel for Mr. Wilton J. Lambert, Mrs. Van Riswick’s grandson, who is charged by his aunt with having procured the mak- ing of the will by exercising undue influ- ence upon his grandmother. This influence, Mrs. Carr's counsel, Messrs. R. Ross Perry and A. 8. Worthington, claim, was partici- pated in by Mr. Lambert’s mother, Mrs. Talimadge A. Lambert, and by her hus- band. The will was made in: February, 1895, about a year before Mrs. Van Ri: wick’s death, Mr. Wilton Lambert and Mrs. Carr being named as executors. A piece of county property, Van View, said to be worth about $25,000, was given to hin three pieces of city property to his two si ters, Maud and Mildred, and premises 1415 K street were left to Mrs. Carr for life. The residue of the estate was left to Mr. Wil- ton Lambert, in trust for Mrs. Carr and his mother, with remainder to the:r issue. Offers Overruled. Before Mr. Wilson commenced the cross- examination of Mrs. Carr Mr. Perry caliéd Cashier Caldwell Harvey of the Norfolk National Bank, who testified that before Mr. Carr left Norfolk to reside here with Mrs. Van Riswick he was a member of the cotton brokerage firm of Parker & Carr. Mr. Perry then offered to show by the wit. ness that the financial standing of the firm was good, and that Mr. Carr did not fail in business. Mr. Lambert's counsel objected, on the ground that the evidence was rebuttal in nature, and that it could not, therefore, be admitted at this time. Mr. Perry made a similar offer through the testimony of Cashier Benj. W. Lee of the Citizens’ Na- tional Bank of Norfolk. But both offers were overruled by the court. Mrs. Carr then resumed the witness stand, but before her cross-examination was commenced Mr. Perry asked her as to the disposal by her of the Great Falls Ice Company stock received by her from her father. She said she sold it in 1887 private- ly, but that her mother knew of ft, telling her that Mr. T. A. Lambert, president of the company, believed that she had sold it to injure him, a charge she denied. Mr: Carr also denied that she sold the st because of a statement made by Mr. Carr's father that artificial {ce would in time sup- plant natural ice. Her mother, stated Mrs. Carr, often said the Lamberts wished her mother to make a will. From her fsther, she said, sh2 received about $60,00) in stocks and real estate, and about $25,000 from the estate of her sister, Mary Jane Van Riswick. Her property had increased irstead of decreasing. Her husband, said Mrs. Carr, owns three houses near 24th and L streets, they being built by Mr. Carr and herself, he putting in them about $15.00). He got nothing from ber mother, Mrs. Carr was sure. Another Witness. Mrs. Carr stated that both Wilton Lam bert and his father attended to her moti er’s business for years, and she identified statements made by Wilton of rents collect- ed, in which it appeared he charged his grandmother a commission of 5 per cent. After stating that her mother was a wo- man easily influenced, possessing a very changeable mind, Mr. Perry announced the close of Mrs. Carr's direct examination. Her counsel then called Mrs, Helen P. Laird, who testified that she had been well acquainted with the Van Riswick family, and thought that Mary Jane Van Riswick was depended upon to a very great extent by her father and mother. During the last years of her life Mrs. Van Ris- wick’s memory and mind seemed to have deteriorated. Mrs. Van Riswick seemed particularly fond of Mrs. Carr, who seem- ed to have taken Mary Jane's place in her mother’s affections, and as a helomate. When Mrs. Carr was away Mrs. Van Ri: wick was impatient for her return, on telling the witness that Mrs. Carr was a very good daughter. Mother and daughier were very devoted to each other. Mrs. Carr said the tiree houses rent for abcut $95 a month. Two houses were aiso built by them on M street between 19th and 20th, and also one in Norfolk. He has dispcsed of none of them. None of the money she contributed to the erection of the houses came from her mother, and she reported that he never reccived a cent from her mother. ‘The houses are in Mr. Carr's name. At the request of Mr. Worthington, Mrs. Carr identified many of the memorandum hooks kept by her mother, and he read numerovs extracts from them to the jury to show the peculiar system adopted by Mrs. Van Riswick in spelling and the many peculiar entries she made. These memcrénda disclosed the fact that Mrs. Van Riswick would never have been a suc- cess at a “spelling bee,” and also showed that she recorded about everything, from experditures of money to receipts for boil- ing cattage and mixing whitewash. Mr. Perry stated that the entries were placed in evidence to show the state of Mrs. aVn Riswick’s mind, and also the marked dif- ference between her orthography in the memorandum books aud her letters to Mr. J. J. Darlirgton instructing him as to the manner of will she wished him to draw up for her. Mrs. Carr then detailed the circumstances attending her mother’s last illness, stating that the Tuesday preceding her mother’s death she received her friends at her mo- ther’s request. She engaged a trained nurse and did everything for her mother, never leaving her alone. The presence of Mrs. Lambert even then excited her mo- ther. She first learned that her mother had, made a will through Mrs. Lambert, who told her husband of it the day her mo- ther was buried. Mrs. Carr then identified a letter written by Mr. Wilton Lambert to her husband and one written by him to her. These letters informed them of the making of the will, of its contents, and that it had been deposited in the vault of the Union Savings Bank, his mother being in ignorance of its contents. ——— A Green House Robber; For some time past Mr. Fred. H. Kramer, who has large green houses in Anacostia, has been missing hundreds of his finest blooms, until he finally came to the conclu- sion that an organized raid was being made on his stock. For a month he has been keeping a close watch on the place, end marked a number of his flowers with a peculiar sign, so that he would be able to identify them if he saw them again. As a result of the investigation warrants were served yesterday on C. M. Schickler, who keeps a flower store on Capitol Hill, and George W. Stamp, one of Mr. Kramer’s employes. A number of roses which Kra- mer claimed belonged to him were found in Schickler’s place. The latter insisted that he had bought them in good faith from man who, he said, lived in Alexandri The description he gave of the man tallied the charge of receiving stolen property. {SS Discrimination Charged. i A number of the prominent dyers ani cleaners of the city met the Commiasigners this morning in the board room at the Dis- | trict buflding to discuss certain alleged dis- crimjnations in enforcing the water meter’ law.

Owing to the vacancy in the office of United States attorney in and for the Dis- trict of Columbia there was no session of the United States branch of the Police Court today. Mr. Mullowney was on duty at his office, however, and prepared infor- mations and directed that warrants issue, but attached his signatures to no papers. All cases brought into court were con- tinued indefinitely, collateral being fixed at the lowest possible consistent figure. Six- teen defendants were held and ten were re- lecsed on collaterak This practice is to be fellowed until the vacancy is filled. It is possible, though, for the court to meet and hold preliminary hearings in cases that embrace grand jury offenses, the presence of a prosecuting attorncy not be- ing necessary. The same is true of warrant cases, whic may also be disposed of by the court in the ebsence of a prosecuting attorney. é Cees eeeneweennae LOCALS ———>_—__ Electric Light Hearing Concluded.
