His Head Was Crushed and He Died Within an Hoar After the Accident. John Scanlan, sixty years old, met his death early this morning by falling from the roof of a house owned by him to the pavement. Mr. Scanlan was a well-known and highly respected citizen, and a large property holder, his home being at 2429 I street. At 8 o'clock this morning, just af- ter finishing breakfast, he went to the house 2500 I street, owned by him, for the purpos* of cleaning out the drain pipes along the eaves of the roof, which had be- come clogged with dirt and rubbish. To reach the pipes Mr. Scanlan raised a lad- der from the roof of the back building of the house, ascended it and commenced to work. The ladder suddenly slipped and Mr. Scanlan was hurled with great force to the Pavement, three stories below. Persons who were near by at the time of the ap- palling occurrence hastily removed the in- jered man to the residence of his son, Mr. Dennis Scanlan, 2502 I street, and. called medical aid. An examination showed that the head of the unfortunate man was bad- ly crushed and he died three-quarters of an_hour after the fall. ‘The announcement of the accident will be a severe shock to Mr. Scanlan’s many friends. He came to this country from Ireland about thirty years ago and ior a long time was engaged in the contracting business. He leaves a wife, a son and two daughters. The coroner was notified and will issue a certificate of accidental death. ee HE IS THEIR CHOICE. Col. Parker Indorsed for Marshal of the District of Columbia. The McKinley and Hobart Interstate Campaign Club, at its last meeting, passed the following resolutions unanimously: “Whereas, The republican party, assem- bled in convention at St. Louis, Mo., June 18, 1896, having adopted the following as a part of its platform, f.e.: ‘From the hour of achieving their own independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympthy the struggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European domination, we watch with deep and abiding interest the heroic battle of the Cuban patriots against cruelty and oppression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their contest for liberty. The government of Spain having lost con- trol of Cuba, and being unable to protect the property or lives of resident American citizens, or to comply with its treaty obli- gations, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use its influence and good offices to restore peace and give independence to the island.” “Therefore, be it resolved by the McKin- ley and Hobart Interstate Campaign Club, that we heartily indorse the above declara- tion, and trust that the incoming adminis- tration will see to it that American citizens resident In Cuba shall be protected in rights and property, and that our war ships shall be ordered to Cuba for this purpose. “The republican party having also de- clared for home rule and a conscientious eivil service, “Therefor be it further resolved, that we favor C€ Myron M. Parker of Wash- ington, D. C., member of the national re- publican committee, a life-long republican, a man of integrity and ability, for marshal of the District of Columbia. “He has done as much for republicanism in the District of Columbia as any other resident of the District, and was particu- larly active in the recent campaign in the raising of money to meet the legitimate expenses of the great struggle for sound money and the supremacy of the laws. He is entitled by education, experience, busi- ness ability, party standing and party work to this favor “The McKinley and Hobart Interstate Campaign Club heartily commend him to the favor of President McKinley.” — LIQUOR LICENSES.

Aeronaut Leo Stevens is one of today’s arrivals and has given an outline of the performance which he says he intends to give tomorrow evening in connection with the fireworks display. He stated that he would make an ascension from the Monu- ment grounds about 8 o'clock in the evening with his partner, whose public name is “Don Carlos.” The balloon will be bril- liantly illuminated and will carry up in mid-air with it. so the aeronaut stated, a large American flag in fireworks suspended about sixty feet below the car. When at a great height, he said, the flag is to be cut loose and exploded and will float high up in the heavens, being visible for half an hour.

Important Work Transacted at the Headquarters of Gen. Porter. The headquarters of the grand marshal are located on the second floor of the Glover building, and correspond to those of the executive cummittee on the fourth floor. Like all Gaui these quarters are divided into three parts. The inner sanctum i8 eecupied by General Horace Porter, grand marshal, and his adjutant general, Col. Corbin, U. 8S. A. This is the executive room, where plans and ideas relative to the parade are discussed and talked over and all Guesticns are finally determined. The second room is used for the adminis- trative department. These functions are performed by Chief of Stafft.A. Noel Blake- man and Chief of Aids Capi, John A. Jobr.ston, U. S. A. Here all matters per- taining to the parade are pnt,in tungible shape, and all the various workings of the immense undertaking are, arranged in their proper order, with every detail care- fully considered and provided, for. The outer room is devoted,.fo the gen- eral reception of visitors, with Capt. W. E. Horton, General Porter's ynilitary sec- retary, In charge, and Miss,Strong, the official stenographer to the grand marshal. Here all persons are received. and; general questions and information attended to. In the commencement of the: werk the corps of assistants at the grand fnarshal’s headquarters were all hale ‘a! hearty, with an occasional space for thoughts about every-day life, but as the time ap- Proached for the consummation’ of the great ceremonteg this condition ‘was some- what impaired by the large, number of ‘callers on business and otherwise, It was then deemed expedient to thraw intrench- ments In the outer room, consisting of two large desks, placed across the center, with a narrow passage way at one end, farthest from the door going into the ad- ministrative department, through which fortunate visitors are allowed to pass, af- ter giving a satisfactory account of their pedigree and intentions. . Outside the breast works, in the outer room, stands the veteran messenger, Thos. €. Carter, who knows everybody. —_—. Clem Lewin’ Death.

Force of Men at Work Repairing the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal—S: dry Other Matters, The crowds of the inauguration are find- ing their way to Georgetown, and a num- ber of visitors have secured stopping places in this section of the city. The in- crease in population, however, is barely visible, as the visitors appear to spend most of their time in Washington seeing the sights. Quite a number of new arrivals came into town this morning, and more are expected this afternoon and tomorrow morning. The inaugural decorations of this section are limited. The flags flying from all of the public schools, the station houses and the engine house make a pretty showing. The main market of the Emrich Beef Com- pany of 32d street is perhaps one of the best decorated places in the city. The large front is artistically covered with flags and bunting, making a pretty display, while for the night effect three large arc lights suspended in midair show off the decorations with as good effect as during the day. he eating house of Mr. C. A. Wolf of 3004 M street is also prettily deco- rated, the flags and multi-colored bunting catching the eye of all passers-by. There are a number of other houses and busi- ness places with less elaborate decora- tions. Repairing the Canal. The work of repairing the Chesapeake and Ohio canal has commenced in earnest, and with the large force of men now at work at various points along the water- way the canal is expected to be in shape for navigation by the fore part of next month. The damage inflicted to the water- way by the rise fn the river was not as great as was anticipated. The locks, dams, waste weirs and other valuable property escaped harm, and the most serious in- jury was the washing away of the banks, there being a number of such breaks along the upper line. General Manager G. L. Nicholson estimates that it will take twen- ty-five days to make the necessary re- pairs, which will delay the commencement of traffic perhaps two weeks or more. The cost of the improvements will amount to somewhere between $25,000 and $50,000. Observing Ash Wednesday. The beginning of Lent was duly observed today at Trinity Catholic Church, and spe- cial services were held this forenoon. Ashes were blessed after the first mass and dis- tributed among the congregatio! Service: will be held this afternoon at 7:30 o'clock in the church, at which a sermon will be delivered.

At a metting of the stockholders of the First Co-operative Buildmg Association last evening loans were made and bonds in various series redeemed. It was announced to the stockholders that the board of di- rectors, in compliance with the custom of the association, had ordered the complete cancellation of all of the bonds of the s enth series at present outstanding. A divi- dend of nine and a half per cent has been Ceclared on this seventh series stock. The cancellation of this liability places the as- sociation on a firmer footing than ever be- fore. Notes.

Mr. Nelson Smith, a former Georgetown boy, is on a visit to his father, Mr. Emmet Smith of 3007 P street. ———— SUPPOSED ATTEMPT John Carroll, an Erring Young Man, Gashes His Throat. John Carroll, a young man who was arraigned in Judge Miller's court today by Detective Weedon, charged with the larceny of an overcoat from Robt. F, Ousley, was found ibis morning by Bailiff Darr of the United States court with an ugly gash in the left side of his throat. The wound extended for about an inch, and was evidently the rk of some dull instrument plied with suicidal attempt. Exactly when the attempt could not be learned, but ene of the prisone: in the cell occupied by the young man at tMe Police Court found upon the floor a small one-blade pocket knife covered with blood, and the supposition isethat the knife was concealed somewhere about th and escaped the viz e of the peli who searched Carroll. ‘fhe blade w: ly more than a half inch long, and extreme- ly dull, so that the gasn on the man's throat must have required a powerful blow. It failed, however, in its purpose, and giving up the task Carroll threw the knife away. When brought from the cell this morning to the court room dock, Carroll affected great agony and remained with his head buried in his arms on the railing of his temporary prison. Bailiff Darr, how- ever, noticed the blood on his neck, and questioned the man, who appeared to be dazed and ccild give no intelligent an- swers. As the wound was not serious, the case continued, and nothing was known in the court room of the gash in Carroll's neck, or of his attempt to end an unhappy life of crime. Judge Miller heard the evi- dence against the young man, and he was sentenced to sixty days in jail. Carroll left the court room with bowed head and took his seat again in the cell until re- moved to the jail. ‘When asked by a Star reporter whether or not he had attempted suicide, Carroll stared vacantly into space and responded: “If I did, I don’t remember anything about ite? Carroll is about twenty-five years old, and known to the police for previous crooked- ness. He is well connected in the city, but has been denied the privileges of his home on account of his general rascality. He was arrested yesterday by Detective Weedon on suspicion of having stolen an overcoat from Mr. Ousley, from one of the rooms in Masonic Hall, and was afterward identified. He pleaded guilty to the charge this morning, and offered no statement in his own behalf. The wound in the neck will be dressed by the jail physician, and the young man will be watched closely. —— Divorces Granted. Judge Cox today granted Lulu O. Griffith a divorce from Henry C. Griffith, with per- mission to resume her maiden name of Selby. The parties were married here De- cember 13, 1887, and Mrs. Griffith left her husband in 1805, charging him with drunk- enness and cruelty. The judge today also granted Florence Hormess a divorce from Louis Hormess, giving Mrs. Hormess the right to resumé her maiden name of Hill. The papers in the case were withheld from publication. = The Northeast Templic Opened. One of the long-felt wants of Northeast ‘Washington has at last been supplied. Last night there was formally opened the new hall building at the corner of 12th and H streets northeast, which is to be known as the Northeast Temple. A large audience was present, and the exercises consisted of an illustrated stereopticon lecture by Rev. A. Rogers on his favorite theme, “Ben Hur,” and an. address by Dr. Bab- bitt. After the formal exercises the guests were invited to inspect the new building, a privilege of which they gladly availed them- selves. The new hall is designed for lodge purposes and as a convenient place in that section of the city for giving entertain- ments and lectures. It has a large lecture hall, is well lighted and fitted with the modern conveniences. ‘The ground story is to be used for business purposes. : AT SUICIDE mun FINANCIAL. Union Savings Bank 18-100 T.

President Harries of the Metropolitan Street Railroad Company has perfected the arrangements to control the cars on his line during the inaugural parade tomorrow. The entire line will be divided up into sec- tions, and this will greatly facilitate the handling of the crowds. The lines on F street and 9th street will run clear until 11 o'clock. ‘The last car going east and west will reach the Baltimore and Ohio depot about 11 o'clock. The F street line will be divided into sections, as follows, and cers will be run on these sections during the pa- rade: Baltimore and Ohio depot to the city hall, the city hall to 9th and F, 9th and F to 14th and New York avenue, 14th and New York avenue to h and K, 17th and K to Dupont Circle. North of Dupont Cir- cle to Connecticut avenue and Dupont Cir- cle to Georgetown—cars on these sections will be run back and forth on the same thack, and especial precautions will be taken to avoid any accident. The Metro- politan company will post lookouts to warn the crowds that may be along the line. The 9th street line will also be divided into ‘tions, as follows: North of Pennsylvania avenue—D street to 9th and New York ave- nue; 9th and New York avenue to Q stree! Q street to north end. South of Pennsylya nia avenue—Louisiana avenue to 41-2 and Missouri avenue; 41-2 and Missouri avenue rginia avenue; Virginia avenue to L. street. Two trains will be run continuous- ly around the loop, and no trains will be run south of L street. The loop trains will care for the river steamer business. President Harries says that transfers will be issued from one section to the other go- ing in the same direction, and this is the best arrangement that can be made under the circumstances and it will greatly facili- tate the handling of the crowds. The regu- lar schedule will be resumed as soon as the procession has disbanded. Trains will be rtn all night until 3 a.m. during the balance of the week. President Dunlop of the Capital Traction Company was in anything but an enviable fiame of mind when discussing the street ear service over his line for inauguration day with a Star reporter this morning, and the only fact that could be gotten out of him for publication in connection with the matter was that his company would obey the orders of the inaugural committee as to the hours of stopping their trains before the parade and starting them again after the parade disbands. President Dunlop did say that he had submitted a proposition to the inaugural committee in regard to run- ning trains on the avenue and 14th street lines tomorrow that would have suited the public, but that the arrangement now in vogue would greatly inconvenience those wko were down town and wanted to return to their homes in the north and west sec- tions of the city covered by his lines. Trains will be run by the Capital Trac- tion Company as late at night as necessary to accommodate the crowds. Yesterday the road hauled thirty thou- sand passengers more than on any third day before an inauguration in its history. =e Hotel Arrivals. Raleigh—H. S. Adams, Cincinnati, Ohio; J. C. Brackin, W. H.
