Joseph Hadger, an employe of the George E. Lemon Pension Agency, who resides with his parents at 1212 East Capitol street, attempted suicide about 6 o'clock yester- day afternoon by shooting himself through the head. He was removed at once to the Emer- gency Hospital in the ambulance and is ly- irg at present in an extremely critical con- dition, with little hope of recovery. The bulict, which is of 38 caliber, is lodged among the delicate tissues inclosing the brain, and it is feared by the physicians that any effort to dislodge it will result fa- tally for the patient. The friends of the young man are at a loss to account for his rash act, as he never seemed in better health ond humor than during the past week. The family, how- ever, attribute the deed to an attack of temporary insanity due to an accident which occurred to the young man years ego, when a brother accidentally shot him in the head. The youth was found lying in the bath room, where a= had gone after exchanging a few pleasantries with his mother «nd sis- ters, Misses Pauline end Mary Hadger. No message was found i explanation of the act, which, with the coolly deliberate meth- od employed by the young man, adds weight to the theory of mental unbalance. > Metropolitan Branch Trains During Inauguration WUl arrive at and depart from B. and R.R., New York avenue station, March 4 and 5.—Advt. a A Libel Case Discontinued.

The things seen and the things heard on Pennsylvania avenue after dark last night were enough to show the visitors that Washington is at least a wide-awake city. The avenue was thronged with people until long after midnight, and even then was a very numerous fag end of a crowd left. Some were wending their way homeward, others trying to navigate a jolly jag of Mc- Kinley joy to some safe harbor, and still others, who for want of proper lodging and the lack of the wherewithal to provide St, spent the night on the street, ready to be moving with the crowds this morning. ‘The fakirs on the avenue were very much in evidence until a late hour, trying to dis-- pose of their wares, but the sales were not as rapid as they would have liked. From 7 o'clock until after 11 there was such a jam on the avenue that passage was almost impossible, and many had to take to the pavement. It was a jolly, lively crowd, with a large proportion of merry and handsome giris and women. Every- body seemed im the best possible humor, both with himseif and with his neighbors. Of course, such ‘a crowd could not be got together without many amusing incidents. One particularly jolly fellow stopped a fakir with a yellow kid costume, bough? the “rig” and made merry for his friends until he was taken away and “put to sleep.” The hot sausage man was out in his glory, ard on many street corners the vendors of this pork production were doing a thriving business. “Here you are. Coney Island hot sausage! Git ‘em hot! Sausage sandwich, ‘fi’ cents! Git ‘em while they're hot! Purchasers were plentiful. The man with the silver plating attracted a large crowd at the Franklin monument and sold many bottles of the fluid. The sale of hot waf- fles fresh from the pan was another thriv ing busines: The fakirs who re selling adges, medals and other souvenirs of the guration did not seem to be doin n fact, out of the v: s wandering up and down the avenue but very few were seen wearing souvenirs of any Kind, and the boards on which thes were displayed by the fakirs loo! as if they had rot been touched. This is said to be to the fact that the class of people who attending the inauguration are hard-working people who, while willing to spend money for comforts, are not throwing any of it away on trifies of th kind. One of the prettiest souvenirs snown is a large gilt key with a bow of ribbon tied to it, with photographs of the President ard Vice President, and inscribed the “Key to Prosperity.” A novel design is “Hogan's Alley Yellow Kid” in miniature. McKinley canes were to he seen in abundance. The pocket _kinetoscope was shown by nearly every fakir, and in persuasive tones vigo! ous efforts Were made to effect a sale, without avail. The hotel corridors Wwe pretty well crowded until a late hour, ar every available inch of space was utilized to accommodate the incoming guests. All along Pennsylvania avenue the ri viewing stands were filled with peop! watching the moving throng, and the tickét selle front of the stands were busily engaged in disposing of the tickets to view today’s parade. reh lights on top of several of the ho- tels attracted considerable attention and Was a novel feature.

The Ebbitt House and the Executive Mansion were particularly well protected. ‘The Capitol and grounds were also welt guarded, and the pension office will fairly swarm with detectives, in faultless evening attire, during the progress of the great bail this evening.

Merriman, a: tant foreman of No. 6 engine company of the local fire de- partment, met his death suddenly shortly after 11 o'clock last night at 9th street and Florida avenue northeast. Mr. Merriman resided at 94 th street northeast, and it was necessary for him, on his way home, to cross the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at the poing mentioned.

West Washington Participates in In- auguration Festiwities. The whole of Georgetown turned out to- day to witness the inaugural ceremonies, the bright, bracing weather bringing out a much larger crowd than would ordinarily witness the display. At an early hour this morning the streets presented a holiday appearance. Crowds were beginning to move toward Washington, and the car lines were packed, the Capital Traction and the Met- ropolitan cars being filled with people. The exodus continued until after noon. and by 2 o'clock this afternoon the population of this section of the city had decreased fully three-quarters. Not only did the exodus embrace Geerge- town, but it took in all of the surrounding country. The residents of Tenleytown fill- ed the cars to Georgetown, while the Great Falls line brought down many more from that section of the District. Some people chartered wagons, and in a party went down to the city, to stop at some side street and witness the parade from the elevated position, chairs being placed in the wagon for the convenience of the occu- pants. The police force for Georgetown was the smallest known for some years. At 9 o'clock this forenoon all of the available regulars and specials were sent down to Washington, leaving only three regular policemen and three specials for duty on the streets, while the mounted force of the county embraced only two men, including Policeman Eli Riley, who was acting ser- geant. For the first time for several years the dress batons were used. The meteorological summary for the month of February from observations iaken at Brace’s drug store, corner of 30th and M streets, by Prof. M. F. Burrows, shows that the mean temperature of the month was 4 degrees. The maximum temperature was G4 degrees, occurring on the 17th, while the minimum temperature was 11 degrees, occurring on the Ist. The month- ly range of the thermometer was 5% de- grees. Total rainfall in inches, incleding melted snow end hail, was 5.88 inches. The average daily rainfall was 21-100 of au inch. The rainfall for the month was the heaviest since April, 1895. The total snow- fall for the month was inches. There were fifteen days upon which one one-hun- dredth of an inch of rain fell. Frost oc- curred on eleven days, and there were six days on which hail appeared. There were eight clear days, six fair ones and fourteen cioudy days during the month.
