Mrs. Jane R. Trunnell died yesterday morning at 6 o'clock at her residence, 348 P street. The deceased had been sick for some years, suffering with consump- ticn, and her death has been expected for several weeks. She was the widow of John H. Trunnell, and was seventy-two years of age. She was one of the old resi- dents of Georgetown and was well known, and had for many years lived in the house in which her demise occurred. She was a prominent member of Trinity Catholic Church, was at one time president of the Sunday school and also a prominent mem- ber of the Ladies’ Ald Society. In the death of Mrs. Trunnel the societies of Trinity Church lose one of their most un- tiring assistants, always foremost in rais- ing money for the sick and needy and ever ready to assist in organizing fairs for the benefit of the church. Her family was among the first to contribute substantial cesh aid to rebuild Trinity Church, con- struct the stone and iron fence around the place and to renovate the edifice after it had bee occupied by the soldiers during the late war. When failing health pre- vented her from active participation in those duties she gave her assistance to at her house. The family came from England in 1634 and held valuable grants of land from the king. The descendants of the family are very numerous and extend to the middle and western states. The de- ceased is survived by only one daughter— Mrs. Minnie Spates. Her funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, with a solemn mass of requiem at Trinity Church. The interment will be at Holy Rood cemetery. 2 Surprise Party. A very pleasant surprise party was given Mrs. William Drummond of 1224 28th street Friday evening by a jolly party of ladies and gentlemen, all of whom spent a most enjoyable evening. Games were played un- til quite a late hour, the only interruption being the serving of refreshments. Among those present were Misses Emma Johnson, Brown, Culver, Schaffer, Longnecker, Waters, Katie Jovnson, Mrs. Signor, Mrs. Fletcher, Mrs. Milstead, Messrs Mitchell, Ed Brown, Benjamin Brown, Milstead, Waters, Herman Meyers, Connolly and Drummond.

There is confined in a cell at the ninth precinct police station today a man who claims, with both persistency and em- phasis, that he-is the long-wanted mur- derer of Wesley Hall. It will be remem- bered that Hall, a hunchback shoemaker, was brutally killed in his shop, a one-story frame structure, located on 9th street just above Florida avenue, April 6 last. When the body was found there was every evi~ dence that a fierce struggle had taken Place, the cripple evidently making a he- role fight for his life. In looking for the murderer the police have been completely baffled. Several persons were arrested on suspicion immediately following the crime, but all succeeded in establishing their in- nocence. Policeman Payne of the ninth precinct was patrolling his beat on Tennessee ave- nue northeast about 8 o'clock Saturday evening last, when he was accosted by a colored man about forty years of age, who asked to be directed to a lodging house. The actions of the man were not alto- gether proper, so he was placed under ar- est on suspicion. At the station the pris- oner gave the name of Charles Parker, and of his own volition he made an al- leged confessicn, declaring himself to be the murderer of Wesley Hall. Parker is very talkative, and described the struggle with Hall with minute detail. Policeman Sam Brown investigated the case, and in his opinion there is some truth in the statement of the prisoner. Some of the officials seem to think that Parker is an insane man telling the truth. He is evi- dently of a low, vicious character, and in all probability fully capable of committing such a crime as the one described. Inspector Hollinberger and Detective Lacy, who have examined the man, take an opposite view. Both the Inspector and Detective Lacy agree in the opinion that Parker is of weak mind, an@ having heard the murder discussed at great length among the colored population of the city has come to believe that he 1s the mur- derer. Parker states that he struck Hall with a club, and carried the club away, while in reality the club that ended the life of the shoemaker was found in the shop. Again, Parker does not give a cor- rect account of time, it relates to the murder, and it is said that he varies in several other directions. Lieut. Heffner and the policemen of the ninth precinct find it difficult to doubt Parker's story, as it !s so complete in every. respect. The matter will be careful- ly investigated and thoroughly sifted. Parker this afternoon was taken to police headquarters, where he was closely ques- tioned by the detectives. Later he was driven to the eighth precinct station, the precinct in which the murder occurred, and examined by the officers there. ‘This is a Good Year for “Macs.” Instance those $10 mackintoshes we now sell for $5 at the Goodyear Rubber Co., 807 Pa. ave.—Advt. ——— ‘The Best Lumber, $1.00 Per 100 Feet.

Since all Washington realizes its needs in this direction and no one will grant a site for such building nor permit {t to be placed in any portion of the District, I hope that the Senate District committee will im- mediately accede to the proposition offered by Sister Beatrice of Providence Hospital and make available for them half the ap- propriation of $30,000. Unfortunate citi- zens and children of our city will not then be compelled to tramp through our streets half dead with contagious diseases seek- ing shelter and care, as has been the case heretofore, bringing disgrace and cdium upon the national capital. Providence Hospital has successfully cared for thou- sands of our citizens in the past. I hope she may be given greater opportunitie: in the direction she has so generously voi- unteered. » WASHINGTON TOPHAM. pete When yon order flowers of Gude you can rely on getting the finest specimens grown at most reasonable prices. 1224 F st.—Adyt. seat de Blinds, $1 a pair. 6th and N.

Troop A of Cleveland, the crack cavalry organization that ts to act as escort to Mr. McKiniey on inauguration day, has re- cently purchased eighty fine black hors. all of a size and as nearly alike as possi- ble. They will undoubtedly make a mag- nificent display in the big parade. Ar- rangements have recently been made whereby all these coal-black chargers are to be shod with the Gibbs patented rubber- cushioned” horseshoe, so that should the asphalt be wet and slippery on March 4 it will have no fears for them. J. B. Kendall, 618 Pennsylvania avenue, is the local agent for these shocs, and has them on exhibi- tion. The Gibbs shoe, which has been highly recommended by humane societies and veterinary surgecns, is made of steel and vulcanized rubber, and {s said to be the hest device made for keeping the con- cussion off the hoof, leg and shoulder of the horse and for guarding against slip- ping. It adds to the life of the animal by ting lameness in sore horses and ying sound ones. This shoe cover: no more surface on the floor than the or ary steel shoe, leaving the hoof as near its natural state as when shod with the ordina’ oe. For use on stone or asphalt streets it Is said to be invaluable by those who have given ft a trial, and it wears quite as long as the ordinary shoe under the same conditions. . Shoa There was a larg ing ly attended mass meet- at Assembly's Presbyterian Church ning, held under the auspices of thc Anti-Saloon League. Mr. John F. Vinal, chalrman of the league's committee on s meetings, presided, and Rev. George . Little, pastor of the church, delivered a brief address of weleome. Addresses on the t of temperance and the best means rappling with the liquor evil were made H. N. Coudon, chaplain of the House, and Representative Willis of Dela- ware. In the course of his talk Mr. Willis said that the money spent in the saloons in this country in one year would pay off the national debt. He denounced the saloon as immoral. the enemy of law, peace and the community, and the producer of pov and crim He thought the Anti-Saloon League plan and platform the best yet presented, and felt sure of cyentual suc- <= The John Wedderburn'& Co.'s Prizes. The regular monthly meetigg of the board of award appointed to select a winner of the prizes offered by Messrs. John Wedder- burn & Co., patent attorneys of this city, for the plest and most practical patent submitted to them during the month of Jannuary occurred Thursday evening at the handsome offices of the company, 615 F street. A large number of patents and de of more or less merit were submit- ted, and the choice narrowed down to a half dozen. Mr. Wedderburn’s corps of ex- pert draftsmen, who had explained the pat- ents, were then retired, and the board went into executive session, and awarded the first prize of $150 to Mr. William ‘faylor of Kearney, N.

Apparates for Eckington Road is in the City. Mr. W. Kesley Schoepf, recetver for the Eckington Railroad Company, was at the Commissioners’ office this morning to report the arrival of the air compressor which is to run the compressed air car during this week. Mr. Schoepf expresses the belief that the Hoadley-Knight motor, which he will use on the road, will solve the prob- lem of rapid transit for the company, and will be followed in a short time by an entire equipment of compressed air cars for the road. He also reported the comple- tion of the Washington and Maryland rail- road and said a car would be run over the tracks tomorrow. The motive power for these cars will be supplied from the Eck- ington plant. It was because of this util- ization of the power that Mr. Schoepf noti- fied the Potomac company that he could pot supply the current for lighting Eck- ington after the 2d of March. The appli- cation for a permit to connect the exis! ing conduits on 9th street with the pole line in Eckington,and the subsequent with- drawal of the application have heretofore been set forth in The Star. In discussing the lighting of Eckington Mr. Schoepf said he regretted very much the condition which necessitated ing off the current. He was going to strain a point, however, and give the household a Sergeant Miller’s Funeral. The funeral of Carles Miller, quarter- raaster sefgeant and one of the oldest mera- bers of the marine corps, who died Satur- day, of penumonia, in the seventy-ffth year of his age, took place this afternoon from his late residence, 1236 E street southeas: and was largely attendel.
