THOUGHT iT WAS FOULTZ Arrest of Engen Mercer Gave Rise to Falpe Bymor. Sessa The Prisoner Wanted on the Charge of Perjury—Am Old Veteran's Mar- ringe Recalled. is —_+— E The arrest this morning of Eugene Mer- cer, a young colored man, who is charged with obtaining & mibrriage license last month for John H. Strong and Mary E. Robinson by making a false affidavit, gave rise to a rumor that Dorsey Foultz, the colored murderer, had been captured. Policeman West Hutchins came across Mercer in the public park back of the 6th street station about noon today, and the moment the negro saw the officer ap- proaching he started off through the mall. The policeman gave chase, and he and a crcwd followed the man, most of the pur- suers being under the impression that he was Foultz. The attention of Private Watchman Lucien F. Davis was attracted, and he joined in the chase, capturing the supposed Foultz near the Washington monument. He was carried to the fourth precinct, where he was recognized as Eugene Mercer, for whom Detective Mat- tingly of District Attorney Davis’ office has been hunting for a week or more, in connection with the Strong-Robinson mar- riage license. The License Case. It will be recalled that, as reported in ‘The Star at the time, an old pensioner, ap- parently about sixty years of age, called at the city hall about noon of the 24th of last month, tn company with a woman of about forty or forty-five years, the latter being attired in gorgeous bridal finery. The old man, who was greatly intoxi- cated, gave his name as John H. Strong, the expectant bride stating her name to be Mary E. Robinson. A license was re- fused the couple because the man could not satisfy the clerk, Maj. L. P. Williams, that he was a naturalized citizen. He was told that until he could so satisfy the clerk he could not obtain the license unless ne obtained from the diplomatic representa- tive of his native country a certificate showing that there existed, under the laws of his own land, no legal objection to tne marriage. Woman indignant. The woman, whose husband was killed a few weeks previously in a runaway acci- dent, became very indignant when the license was refused, and left the building declaring that they would get it in spite of the law or anything else. Three or four hours later in the day a young colored man, who gave his name to Major Wil- liams as Eugene Mercer, applied for a marriage license for John H. Strong and Mary E. Robinson. He informed Maj. Williams that the par- ties for whom he desired the license wer colored peopte, giving their ages as thirt two and twenty-five, respectively, stating that nelther had ever been married, nd that both were citizens of the Unt 5 His suspicion being aroused, Maj. iliams closely questioned Mercer, but he stoutly adhered to is statements, and when informed that before he could obtain the license he woyld have to make oath as to the truth of thy stafements, he expressed himself willing and ready to do so. He then made the ohth required by law, and the Hcense wns issued to him. The Martlagdé Performed. ‘The following @ay “the Rev. Joseph T. Kelly made a re¥urn'to the clerk of the court, certifying that ie had on the previ- ous day married'the ‘parties. Mr. Kelly stated them to Ke white people, and his description of tHem ‘tallied exactly with that of the parties who had in the first instance applied for tHe Mcense. Mr. John R. Young, the clerk of the District Supreme Court, reported the matter to District At- torney Davis. x That official afd the case before the grand jury, and tn the district attorney’ office this afternoon It was stated that a indictment wilf-be réturned dgainst Mi Monday charging him with making a false affidavit, a penitentiary offense. A REFORMERS PROTEST. Against Decrensing Clannified Service. epresentative McIntire has introduced in the House a memorial of the Civil Service Reform Asgociation of Maryland as an earn- est protest against the passage of certain proposed amenaments to the deficiency ap- propriation bill, which, if adopted, the as- sociation claims, would greatly restrict the beneficial working of the civil service act of Junuary 16, 1883, by excepting from classification under it many officers and employes of the government who are now within the rules heretofore promulgated by the President to carry said act into effect. The memorial says: “The proposed amendments referred to are: 1, Excepting from classification labor- ers and workmen of every class; introduced by Senator Gallinger. 2. Excepting from clessification subordinates of the internal revenue service; introduced by Senator Spooner. 3. Excepting from classification the governinent printing office; introduced by Senator Pritchard. 4. Excepting trom ‘fication internal revenue ¢fficers and classes of positions in the Indian ntroduced by Senator Quay. “The avowed purpose of each and all ot these amendments is to withdraw from the classified service persons who have been included with it by the President in the exercise of the power conferred on him by the civil service law, and, therefore, the adoption of any one or more of them would partially repeal by means of a rider to a deficiency appropriation bill a law now more than sixteen years upon the statute books and which has received the unquali- fied “‘indorscment of every President in of- fice since it was passed. “Public opinion has so clearly and em- phatically condemned the many attempte heretofore made to repeal cr cripple this law that none of these has as yet secured the approval of both houses of Congress. Usually these attempts have been indirect and made by amendments proposed to the necessary appropriation bills, so as to deny the President a fair opportunity to exercise his constitutional right of veto re- gard:ng taem. “The assuctation, your memorialist, re- spectfully submits that any legislation regulating the discharge of his duties by the President should be so framed as to accord him a- full and fair opportunity of expressing his approval cr disapproval thereof, in accordance with the spirit and evident purpose of the Constitution, and without having his action embarrassed by the fact that if unfavorable to the measure it may delay the provision of means for the conduct of the gavernment.” The memorial ig signed by J. Wirt Ran- dall, president; Wm.Reynolds, chairman executive committee; Edwin G. Holtfer, secretary. Memorial the ee Largest Incstase in This City.

His Divorced Wife Was Miss Fannie Work of New York. LONDON, July 16.—In today’s proceed- ings at the bankruptcy court the failure was announced of the Hon. James Boothby Burke-Roche, nationalist member of par- Nament for East Kerry, who married Miss Fannie, daughter of Frank Work of New York. Details as to the bankruptcy have not yet been published. Mr. Burke-Roche, who was born in 185 is the second son of the first Baron Fer- mvy,and heir to the present peer,who has no children. Mrs. Burke-Roche secured a De!a- Ware divorce some vears ago on the ground of her husband's alleged flagrant offenses, but he subsequently got a decree from the British courts establishing the principle that marriage to a British citizen makes a foreign wife subject alone to British laws. Under this decree the American divorce was declared invalid in British law, so that Mr. Burke-Roche can control the movements of his children whenever they are found within British jurisdiction. Prior to his candidacy in East Kerry he was not suspected of nationalist leanings, and he is the only heir to the peerage in the Irish home rule party. His brother, the Hon. Ulick Burke-Roche, married a daughter of Mr. George J. Goschen, the first lord of the admiralty in the present cabinet. aS TO DEVELOP NEW FIELDS. Company Formed at Seattle to Oper- ate in Southern Alaska. SEATTLE, Wash., July 16.—The Alaska Development Company has been organized here to develop the coal and oil fields re- cently discovered in southeastern Alaska by R. C. Johnston of Los Gatos, Cal.

Hamilton of this city, the experts, who made a thorough examin- atior of the property, show that the dis- covery is really the most wonderful find the world has even known. The oll fields are located within a few hundred feet of the tidewater, 250 miles west of Juneau.

Thirty thousand feet of pipe has already been ordered from Pittsburg and as soon as received here a steamer will be chartered to carry it and the tank materials to the discovery. A prominent oil man has given a guaran- tee of all the capital necessary to build a refinery at this point as soon as necessary to handle the product. The oil is vro- nounced of the best quality ever seen, and the quantity is unlimited — EMANUBL SUICIDE OF RICH. Wealthy Hebrew Merchant of Atlanta Cats His Throat.

Mr. George L. Haley, who is said to have hed considerable trouble lately with his pertner, Mr. John P. Murphy, in the bicy- cle business at No. 603 E street northwest, has, through his attorney, Mr. Wilton J. Lambert, secured possession of the bicycles taken from the establishment Wednesday evening by Mr. Murphy. A settlement has been reached between their respective at- terneys, by which Mr. Murphy conveyed yesterday by deed all his interest in the business to Mr. Haley. A dispute arose between the partners scme days ago, it is said, and Murphy, acting under the advice of his attorney, Wednesdzy right entered the store and took out séverai new wheels. When his Partner discovered this he first applied to District Attorney Davis for aid, but was informed that his redress lay in a civil action, whereupon he placed the matter in the hands of Attorney W. J. Lambert, who set to work to obtain the bicycies, aud at once notified Mr. Murphy of his intention to file a bill for an accounting and a re- ceiver, but before the bill was tiled Mr. Murphy executed the above mentioned conveyance. Se Ladics Given Extra Hours. If there is suitable weather, tomorrow evening will mark another step in the pro- gress of the bathing beach. Ladies’ morn- ings have become so popular that Mr. Ste- vens has yielded to the solicitations of many, and set apart Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for the ladies, esday 10, ‘and while they are so popular that the new floating pools are crowded with learners, yet the early hour is inconvenient to many. Mr. Stevens hopes that the men and boys who cannot persuade their wives and sisters or some other fellow’s sisters to come with them as a passport. will yield a little for the sake of this advance, so that all days may be available for both ladies and gentlemen. 3 L+PREPARED.

President Cleveland Did Not the Fine. The statement was made in the Senate during the armor plate debate this week that President Cleveland remitted the heavy penalties imposed ypon the Carnegie Company for furnishing defective armor to the government. Ex-Secretary Herbert knows as much about the armor fraud business as any one else in the country. He declared today that there was not word of truth in the assertion that the penalties had been remitted. He explained that after three months of patient and thorough tn- vestigation of the armor frauds he deter- mined te inflict a fine of about $220,009 on the firm for fraudulent practices, and that he so informed the President. An appeal was, however, taken te the White House by the armor people and eventually the fine was cut down to $144,000 and paid up, and receipts for it are held by the com- pany. Mr. Herbert said he agreed with the present naval administration that the arm- or firms will never consent to furnish armor for less than $400 a ton, and he has little expectation that the large contract can be awarded until Congress increasce the limit to that urged by him and late: by Secretary Long. Remit
