THE MAN DISAPPEARS One week ago last Saturday little Dora Ax, eight years old, daughter of a hard working lialian laborer named John Ax, ving at No. 2051 7th street, a short dis- e above Florida avenue, wes criminally assauited, !t is charged, and Banedine Di Nunzio is now wanted by the police. Al- though the assault cccurred nearly two weeks ago, it was not until last night that the police of the eighth precinct learned of it. Lieut. Kenny at once notified headquar- ters, and detailed two officers to work on the case. Lieut. Swindells. received the message at headquarters, and sent out a general alarm to all the precincts, notify- irg the officers to arrest the man charged with the offense. This morning Inspector Mattingly called the attention of the de- tectives to the case, and impressed upon them the importance of. capturing the al- leged perpetrator of the brutal crime. While all the detectives were put at work or the case, Detective Helan was specially Getailed to make the investigation. Policeman Howard of the eighth pre- circt happened to overhear a conversation between two Italians iast night, and he understood enough of it te know that a serious offense had been charged against ene of their countrymen. This caused him to make an inquiry, and in a_few minutes he learned the whole story. With him was Policeman Kimmell, and togethe: they went to the house. John Ax, who works for the Cranford Paving Compaay, and is the father of the child, is classed as an industrious and honest man. sis home is in one of several srrall houses in the frame row on 7th street extended near Pomeroy street, and in this humble heme he provides for his fami as well as his means will allow. He has several children, and they speak English 2s well as Italian. In the house Di Nunzio and his better half have rooms, the wife being a niece of Mrs. Ax. Di Nunzio is a maker and re- pairer of mandolins, and usually had 2s muck work as he could do. while et night he frequently. played the stringed instru- mentat balls and parties. The Child's Story. According to the statements of the Ax family and the little child, Di Nunzio was alone in his room on the Saturday men- tioned, and Dora was the only member of her family who was in the house. It was abcut 10 o'clock in the morning, Dora says, when the musician called to her: “Dora, bring me a glass of water.” The little child, who is unusually bright for her age, tripped upstairs with the water, not thinking for a moment that there was iil treatment in store for her. “Who's down stairs?’ Dora says he asked her, and when she told him there was nobody, he proceeded to assault her. Dora says she resisted as well as she could, and wanted to scream, but was afraid to make an outcry, for Di Nunzio told her if she made any noise he would kill her. Her sufferings were described as frightful. When she was released Di Nunzio warn- ed her of the consequences should she say anything about what had happened. She said nothing to her mother. She went to school as usual and continued to go all the week, and managed to get her lessons. Dora was sick Saturday morning, and her mother investigated, being greatly shocked at the disclosures. Denies the Accusation. - Dora told her story of the alleged assault for the first time. Mrs. Ax was greatly en- raged when she heard the child's state- ment, and proceeded to Di Nunzio’s room and there accused him of having com- mitted the crime. He denied the charge made against him by Dora, but the mother believed her child, and a lively war of words followed. Mrs. Ax left to her hus- band the duty of avenging the wrong. Although the musician had been thus ac- cused, and there had been a stormy time in the house, he remained about the prem- ises until night, and when the child's father efitered the house he walked away. “And it's a good thing for him that he left when‘he did,” the girl's brother re- marked to a Star reporter this morning, “for if he had remained there would have been trouble.” As soon as the chiid’s father got in the house he heard the story of the assault. Instead of raising a hue and cry, however. he went in a quiet way and searched for the man whom, it is charged, had so frightfully mistreated his child. He went through the Italian settlement in the “camp,” and then visited places down the city where Italians are found, but nothing was seen of the missing man. The Search Kept Up. This investigation was continued all day Sunday, but witheut results, and Monday the father of the victim went to the Police Court to get a warrant. He could not speak plain enough to make himself un- derstood, and, as there was no interpreter in the neighborhood, he did not succeed in getting the coveted warrant. Frem the court he went to call on John Marinelli, the saloon keeper, and explained to him what kad happened. He_also exp!ainea that he had been unable to get a warrant, and Marine!li wrote the names of the par- ties on a slip of paper for him, and also gave him a note explaining the affair. In- stead of returning to the court he called on Justice E. M. Hewlett, and obtained from him a warrant for the apprehension of the aceused. Was Without Experience. Ax had not had any police or court ex- perience, and when the justice gave him the warrart he kept it in his pocket in- stead of handing it over to the police, and started out to play detective. His idea was that when he came across Di Nunzio he could call a policeman and have him arrested, but he played ir. no better luck than have the pursuers of Dorsey Foultz, and the delay in calling tne case to the attention of the police gave the fugitive ample time to get away. Had it not been that the policeman’ overheard the conver- sation mentioned the police would probably not know of the case now. ‘This delay in the case may be the means of causing a change in the system of giv- ing out warrants.

The delay also shows the necessity for an interpreter at the Police Court. There are several members of the force who speak three or four languages, it is stated, and it may be that one of them will be detailed for duty at the court. The police are making strenucus efforts today to effect the capture of Di Nunzio. Policemen Kimmell and Howard, who worked all night on the case were out bright and early this morning, as was Precinct Detective Amiss. Then Detective Helan took a hand in the investigation. Baltimore Police Notified. It was stated that Di Nunzio had gone to Baltimore, and thinking he may make an effort to leave the country on one of the steamships from the monumental city, the Baltimore authorities were furnished a description of the man by telegraph, and requested to visit the steamship offices and arrest him if possible. The fugitive is about thirty years old, and about six feet tall. His complexion is very dark, and he has a heavy mustache. It is stated that he worked in a piano factory in Boston, and afterward lived in New York. About two years ago he came here, and about four months azo went to live in the house where, it is alleged, the assault was committed. ee AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.

Bail was fixed at $500." Minnie Wood, colored, of 325 G street southwest, was the complaining witness. She had placed some insurance with the company referred to, and Martin, as agent for the company, is said to have collected from her 75 cents each month.

The resolutian:is accompanied by a formal letter, “and*the resohition itself is in the name 6f the‘clearing house essociation. A majority of the membership was represented and unanimously adopted the resolution, which is as follows: “That this meetitig entircly disapproves of the Bank of England agreeing to ex- ercise the option, permitted by the act of 1884, of holding one-fiftn or any other pro- portion whatever of silver as 2 reserve against the circulation of the Bank of England notes. “That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Bank of England, the prime minis- ter, the first lord of treasury and the chancellor of the excheque: Try to Influence Other Bodies. An organized movement has begun to induce other commercial bodies to protest against the announcement of the governor of the Bank of England.

The resolutions pledged the support of those attending the meeting to Chairman Lamb. and expressed regret at not having candidates for the state offices at the fall elections. President McKinley and his ad- ministration were heartily indorsed, and the civil service law was equally as hearti- ly denounced. A resolution was offered by Mr. A. A. Warfield, indorsing Gen. James A. Walker for governor, Pat McCaul for lieutenant governor and W. 8. Lentz for attorney gen- eral. The meeting was orderly throughout, and adjourned as soon as the business for which it was called was transacted. Death of James Coleman. James Coleman, one of Alexandria’s best known citizens, died suddenly at his home on North Fairfax street last night, after an illness of about an hour. Mr. Coleman was standing on the steps of the old City Hotel shortly after 7 o'clock, when he was seen to sud- denly quiver and fall to the ground un- conscious. Assistance was rendered at once, and he was taken hastily to his home and Dr. Purvis was summoned. It was found that he had been stricken with ap- poplexy, from which, as stated, he never recovered. James Coleman was about sixty-five years old, and has resided in this city all his life. He kept a restaurant during the war and was known by southern soldiers as the man who always looked after the comfort of the confederates returning to Alexandria. It mattered not to Jim Cole- man whether they had money or not, they were, it is said, all treated equally well. He was for several years a member of the police force, and resigned to accept the position of superintendent of streets, to succeed the late Mr. Clifford. He made his home with his grandchildren. Emancipation Celebration. The celebration of Emancipation day at the Third Baptist Church, cclored, last night, was a great success. The meeting was called to order by Magnus L. Robin- son in an appropriate speech. Chairman Robinson said: “The negro has proved his patrictism to the country in the war of the revoluticn, 1812 and the late rebellion.” He spoke of the unselfishness and devotion of the negro, of his loyalty to the cause of hvmanity. “The negro race,” said he, “like all other races, has and is still pro- ducing fiendish criminals, but shall the whole negro population te held up to the world as an immoral and irresponsible people because some devil in colored skin commits a horrible outrage? The negro be- lieves in a sure and swift punishment to those who violate the laws of the land of whatever nature, but that punishment shoul& be done under the vigilance of the law.” Lawyer Langston’s Address. Attorrey John M. Langston, the orator of the evening, was introduced by Chair- man Robinson as “the scholar, diplomat, the golden-tongued. orator, the devoted leader of his people.” Mr. Langston spoke for over an hour, holding his audience during the greater part of the time. He said, in part: “All honor to the noble names and mem- ories. We are free, and there is not a slave breathing tonight the invigorating air of cur great, grand and enduring republic.

CURING TEXAS FEVER Experiments That Have Been Made by the Agricultural Department. Cause’ of the Discase Discovered— Ticks Found Only in Certain Regions. The Agricultural Department is hopeful that the cause and prevention of the Texas cattle fever has been discovered, and it was to continue certain successful tests that Dr. Novgaard went to Texas yester- day. It has been found that the disease germs are inoculated in the blood of the cattle by a tick of a certain kind, which is found only in an area of the United States where the quarantine regulations exist. ‘The tick grows ix the woods and swamps, and buries itself deep into the skin of the cattle, and inoculation follows, the disease germs being transmitted from the tick into the animal. The tick, a number of speci- mens of which are at the bureau of animal industry laboratories, resembles a black- eyed pea. It drops off the steer at a cer- tain time and lays its eggs on the ground. The eggs are transmitted to the animais by this Means, so that infection is transmitted not by the animals themselves so much as by their presence, so that cattle which had been in infected districts carry the ticks with them. The area of infected country, with some recent modifications, is as follows: All that lying south, or below, a line be- ginning at the northwest corner of the state of California; thence, east, south and southeasterly along the boundary line of said state of California to the southeastern correr of said state; thence southerly along the western boundary line of Arizona to the southwest corner of Arizona; thence along the southern boundary lines of Ari- zona and New Meaico to the southeastern ccrner of New Mexico; thence northerly along the eastern boundary of New Mexico to the southern line of the state of Colo- rado; thence along the southern boundary lines of Colorado and Kansas to the south- eastern corner of Kansas; thence southerly along the western boundary line of Mis- souri to the southwestern corner of Mis- sovri; thence easterly along the southern mine Peer LLL eee! d Company. eutenant-Governor, iON OF CANADA.
