BARLY START FOR FREDERICK Fine Weather for Twice-Postponed Event. RIDERS AND OFFICIALS After several postponements, the one- hundred-mtle match race to Frederick, Md., and return between teams represent- ing the Century Cycle Club and the Arling- ton Wheelmen was started this morning at 7 o'clock at Brightwood. The weather was all that could be desired for a successful race, though the wind which came up later in the day was a slight drawback to the riders. The race was the outcome of the recent. local century run. The Century Cycle Club, the Arlington Wheelmen and the Capital Bi. Club each had teams of twelve entered for a prize offered to the club team returning with the greatest number of sur- vivors. Every rider entered by the differ- ent clubs finished, and made the result a tie. According to the agreement, the was to be run off the following Sunday. The Capital Bi. Club did not care to take part in the run-off, and the team of the Century Club was crippled by the absence of one man. Under the terms of the cen- tury, no new men could be substituted, and the Century boys withdrew, leaving the Arlingtons the only club to compete for the trophy, which was awarded them after riding over the course. Then the Century Club issued a chal- lenge to the Arlingtons for a match cen- tury race between teams of twelve The challenge was immediately accepted, and the Arlingtens deposited a check for 365 toward the cost of prizes for the win- be s. Later the Century Club deposited an ual sum, and a date was fixed for the match. Bad roads twice prevented the con- test, but today all conditions were favor- able. The Teams. As originally contemplated, the team from each club was to consist of twelve men, but according to the last agreement the number was reduced to eleven men. The two teams are as follows: Arlington Wheelmen—Frank C. Botts, captain; E. J. Murphy, lieutenant; Robert H. Stone, Henry Walker, John Walker, W. H. Dikeman, Guy E. Mitchell, J. E. Whitson, Louis R. Smith, Charles J. Butler, J. Walter Thompson and P. E. Brengle. Substitutes_E. B. Terry, S. E. Warner and Myron Baker. Century Cycle Club—Edward S. Byrnes, éaptain; W. C. O'Connor, heutenant; Dei nis P. O'Connor, Lee Counselman, J. Hanger, jr., George W. Wright, Fred. Vcikman, Robert Williams, J. A. Galeski, Thomas J. Reed, W. A. Bolden and Louis F. Anderson. Substitutes—Rich- ard B. Posey, Louis F. Abell and James McAnaly. Race Officials. The officials of the race, as agreed upon by both captains, were as follows: Referee, Elmer E. Simpson; judges, John Woerner, jr., J. D. Lasley and W. K. Lar- rimore; scorers, William Gettinger, J. F. Brcadbent and Rudolph Jese; timers, Frank J. Wissrer, Robert Small, H. M. Poilock; clerk of the course, Fred. Moore; starte>, Charles H. Coons; checkers, E. H. Monrce, A. Hollander, Howard Fiske, James 0. Tine, Harry Gore, A. L. Griffith, A. Eckloft and C.-V. Sparrow. The checkers represented two men from each club, and they were stationed at in- tervals between this city and Frederick, the other end of the journey. Most of the riders started out with the determination to re- main in the saddle the entire period. Very few of the riders expected to stop at Fred- erick long enough to get a full meal. In- stead a sandwich or so with a cup of coffee was contemplated as making the noonday meal. There was very little variation in the make-up of the teams at the start. The men went off at a rattling good clip, the temperature at the time being ccol enough to make them pedal fast to keep warm. — A DISASTER AT SEA. Two Ships Collide While Under Full Sait. WILMINGTON, N. C.. November 20— The schooner Charles H. Sprague, Capt. Harper, from Georgetown to New York, with a cargo of lumber, is in the harbor at Southport with her port rigging torn away as a result of a collision at sea about 12:15 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Whea nine miles from Frying Pan lightship, the mas- ter of the Sprague saw a bark bearing down upon him with yards squared. ‘Ihe bark was the Norwegian Vara, Capt. Terjesen, which cleared from Wilmington for Man- chester, England, last Monday. Each vessel apparently thought the other would change her course, but neither id so, and they came together under full sail. The Vara suffered most, having a great hole knocked in the bluff of her bow. All of the crew jumped aboard the schooner except the captain and cabin Doy, were taken off soon afterward. The schooner anchored near by and the bark last sighted at dark Wednesday night. She sank during the night. The captains of both vessels are here to- day and hi » filed their protests, Capt.

Assistant Secretary Davis Reverses ‘a Pension Office Decision. Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the Department of the Interior, teday rendered many important pension decisions, among them being a decision in the claim of Chas. A. Fry and Sareh E. Fry, minor children of John Fry of Company E, 20th Kentucky Ir fantry. This claim was rejected by the pension department under the last administration, on the ground that the evidence failed to show that the mother of the claimants was the lawful wife of the soldier. The facts in the case are that soon after the war closed the soldier and Mary Green, both residents: of Kentucky, went to Illi- nois, where they remained for some time, a period of about four years, after which they returned to Kentucky, and livéd there uatil the death of the woman, in 187: “In Illinois they lived together,” says the sistant secretary, “as man and wife, and aied that they were married, and were regarded as married persons in the com- munity where they lived. After their re- turn to Kentucky they continued to live together, and hold themselves out to the public as husband and wife, alleging that they had been married in Illinois, and this relation was maintained until the death of the wife. “It is impossible to obtain any direct proof of the marriage, both of the parties being dead, and no person being found who knows when or where the marriage occurred, or, in fact, that ‘there was a marriage.” Mr. Davis reverses the action of the pen- sion department, and among other things says that: “These parties lived together as man and wife continuously for ten years or more; during all that time their reputation was that of married people; they declared that they were married; they conducted them- selves in all respects like married pople; they were treated and received as hi band and wife among their friends and bors, and it appears that at the time began to live together there was no ediment to a lawful marriage on the part of either of them. I think any court would, in such a case, presume marriage in the absence of facts tending to create a counter presurption. “It is quite possible that the parties were united in marriage by a formal ceremony. ‘The failure to find any record of such cere- mony is by no means conclusive evidence that they were not. The records of the ecunty wherein they lived in Ilinois were destroyed by fire. But aside from this I think there can be no question as to the sutliciency of the evidence to establish a ecmmon law marriage in Illinois. After cereful consideration I am of the opinion that it must be presumed that the soldier and the mother of the claimants were law- fully married. The decision of February 20, 1897, is therefore rescinded and the re- jection of the claim set aside.” Cee AND REMOVAL. REDUCTION Questioned Whether They Can Be Re- garded in the Snme Light. If the case of F. A. Crandall, lately re- duced from the position of superintendent of documents to librarian of the document room of the government printing office, is brought before the civil service commis- sion it is doubtful whether the commis- ston will consider that it has any jurisdic- tion in the matter. The commission has not yet construed the reduction of a gov- ernment employe, without being given an opportunity to see and answer charges against him, as a violation of the Presi- nt’s amendment to rule II. The commis- sion has interpreted this amendment to the rule as referring to dismissals from the gervice, although in one or two of the departments it has been applied to reduc- tions. This is the case in the Treasury Depart- ment, and under this interpretation of the rule Auditor Castle furnished each of the clerks he anticipated reducing with written charges and called upon them to show cause why they should not be reduced. The civil service commission, however, will probably continue to interpret the President's order as applying to removals from the service only until the President himself gives instructions that he intended it to apply to reductions in rating, if he did so intend. : In this event the only way in which the case of Mr. Crandall could reach the Presi- dent would be through his friends, who, it is thought likely, will lay the matter before him personally. ‘The case is especially in- teresting, as it may be the means of some further order from the President learly defining his amendment to rule II. ———————_--____ > Prof. Jordan and Secretary Clarke of the seal commission have teft Washington on their return to their homes, having com- pleted ‘their work. . a a BOUGHT 3BY) :A. RAILROAD Strip of Land Sixty-Six Foot Wide and About, Tway Miles Long. The Chesapeake Bay Railroad Com- pany Parchases, she Right of Way Throygh the District. The right of way formerly owned by the Maryland Southern Railway Company has been purchase“ by the Chesapeake Bay Railroad Company. ‘As has been stated re- cently in The Star, this company is now engaged in the construction of a railroad from a point on the Chesapeake bay about twenty-five miles south of Bay Ridge, to the District line near Burrville, and thence it is proposed to go by direct line to Deane- Wood, a station on the Pennsylvania rail- road near Benning. It will be recalled that a charter was ob- tained from Congress some thirteen years ago by a company knowh as the Southern Maryland Raliroad, for the purpose of building a railroad from Deanewood to the District line, the right to continue the road through Maryland to the Chesapeake bay having been secured from the Maryland lezistature. This roag was graded and the ties were laid, but it was never fully completed, and was never operated as a railroad. ‘The land thus acquired by the railroad is a strip some sixty-six feet wide, extending from Deanewood to the District line, which had been sold by the District for taxes and purchased by individuals. It is the title to this land which the Chesapeake Bay Rall- read Company has secured by purchase frem the holders of the tax titles. Hicctricity vs. Stenm. Workmen are now engaged in building the roadbed of the portion of the line in Maryland, and active operations are going on along the line of the proposed road lying within the District. It has not yet heen decided by the promoters of this en- terprise whether the road when constructe:! will be operated by steam or electricity. It is stated to have been the original intention of those who- are building this road, and who, as already announced in The Star, raainly western capitalists, to operate the entire road by steam, but since they have begun the building of the road the dealer in electrical supplies have made proposi tions to them in. regard to equipping the entire road with the overhead troliey. It is claimed by the electrical people tnat aS good a rate of speed can be secured from the overhead trolley as from steam and as this is an important point with th promoters of this enterprise, they are g: ing the matter some consideration. Columbia Railroad Extension. As already stated in The Star, a direct connection with the clty is proposed to be secured by means of an overhead trolley road, which is to be built along the Ben- ning road from the terminus of the Colum- bia railroad at 15th and H streets north- east to Deanewood, which wouid be the northern terminus of the proposed Chesa- peake bay railroad. The managers of the Columbia railroad intend to ask,Corgress at the coming ses- sion for authority to build this Benning road line, and; if authority is given, those who are interésted'in the Chesapeake bay railroad enterjrise believe that passenger: éan he ‘conveyed “from the heart of the city to Chesa¥éake bay within one hour. i le. a TESTING THE QUA LITIES.

They were killed by Swift & Co. of Chicago, who will ship &ev- eral carcasses of the different breeds to Europe to discover which brings the high- er price. > << THE SOLDIERS’ HOME. Intemperance the Cause of the Only Disorders. General Miles, as presdent of the board of commissioners of the Soldiers’ Home, near this city, has made a report to the Secretary of War of the recent operations of that institution. According to this re- port, September.30 last, there were 1,141 beneficiaries on the rolls (an increase of 43 over last year), and 724 of the bene- ficiaries were present at the home on the date named. The total income of the home during the past year was $221,658, of which $134,256 resulted from deductions of 12% cents per month from soldiers’ pay, court-martial fines, forfeitures of desert- ers, etc, and $81,449 was interest from the permanent fund. The income also in- cluded $5,953 realized from the effects of deceased inmates and miscellaneous scurces. The expenditures were $163, rent expenses and $31,101 for permanent improvements, making a total expenditure of $194,846. The increase in the permanent fund is stated at §26,812, and the balance in the United States Treasury September 30 last was §2 ‘The amount expended for permanent im- provements was principally for completing the new amusement hall, purchase of ma- terial and hire of labor in wiring for electre light plant about to be installed, contract having been awarded for the necessary electrical machinery for the pur- pose. Of the 724 resident inmates, 566 are re- ceiving pensions from $6 to $30 per month, with one receiving $50 and one $72, and 06 had war service. ‘The amusement hall was completed in January last, and a variety of excellent en- tertainments have been given. ‘The governor reported that almost the only disorders that have occurred at the home were the result of intemperance, an evil, he says, that cannot be cured and can be ameliorated only by wise disciplinary measures. 2.0; x 3 Special attention, has been given by the board to thé food supplies, which, the re- port says, ‘Nave “been brought fip to a higher standard: oq An excelignt: library is provided with gaily and 4 ekly,,Dapers and magazines, and the buildings ‘have been kept in good repair, and Yhe nds and driveways are in excellent wonditon. —4e : = O'NEILE'S NOVEL DEFENSE.

Shortly after he arrived yesteday Minis- ter Romero called on him, and today he re- ceived many visitors, largely from among the friends cf Governor Shepherd, with whom he has long held very close relations in Mexico. This morning Governor Ahumada, ac- companied by the secretary of the Mexican legation, made a tour of the city, and to a Star reporter who cailed on him this af- ternoon he expressed great admiration for the beauties of the city, as well as for the country et large. He visited the Capitol, new library build- ing and State Department building, and was greatly pleased with the architecture of these structure:. It is expected he wiil call on President McKinley Monday, after which he will leave for Chicago, thence going to California and shortly thereafter returning to Chihuahua. Gcvernor Ahumada is an old friend of Gevernor Shepherd. He said he had left him and his family in good health. The governor's mining properties, he said, are in a state of active development. He said Governor Shepherd was highly regarded in Mexico, the mining work he is carrying on being exceedingly successful. Speaking of the province of which he is governor he said there are about 2,000 Americans resident there, chiefly engaged in mining, merchandising and stock rais- ing. Conditions there were generally pros- perous. a Visitor in ar PECULIAR MISHAP, A Lady Sips Through an Opening in the Pavement. A peculiar accident occurred this morning in front of the building No. 705 15th street, fitted up to be used as the ticket office of the Southern Railway Company. A man working there raised the iron door of the coal hole near the curb of the sidewalk to dump some rubbish in it. A number of people were passing at the time, and just as he raised the door a couple of ladies reached the place, and, not noticing the danger, one of them slipped into the open- ing. The pile of rubbish #h the vault prevented her from falling more than four or five feet, but she received a painful cut on the ‘upper lip and was badly shaken up. She was taken into Thompson's drug sidre and a carriage being called she soon left for her home. She declined to give her uame to the police officer who was near when the accident occurred, and said she did not care to have any arrest made. The man opening the door in the pave- ment declared that he had raised it only sufficiently to allow him to dump the rub- bish, the accident occurring just as he —_.__—_. : Judge Was Accommodating.

Evidence Strongly Points to Him the Murderer of Edmonia Jack- son—The Verdict. Coroner Carr started upon an investiga- tion at 2 o'clock today of the circumstances attending the death of Edmonia Jackson, who was murdered in an alley tenement Monday night. Edward Smith, the alleged paramour of the woman, is accused of hav- ing taken her life while in a fit of jealous rage. The evidence adduced was in substance as follows: A New Discovery. Superintendent Schoenberger of the morgue made a more careful examination of the body of the woman when he got ready to prepare it for the autopsy today, and discovered that a knife as well as a hatchet had been used by the murderer. in addition to the wound in her throat, two ugly cuts across the back of her neck were found. Imbedded in one of her hands the blade of a shoemaker’s knife was discovered. The finding of the knife in her hand indi- cated to the police that there had probably been a struggle, during which the woman had attempted to get the knife away from her murderer. Dr. Ruffin made the au- topsy, and it was his opinion that the wound in the throat was inflicted with the knife, while the two cuts in the back of the neck had been made with the hatchet. Coroner Carr held an inquest this after- neon, and Dr. Ruftin told the jury of the condition of the body. The wounds in the back of the neck were the fatal ones. Ti only thing he found to indicate a strugg! was a cut in the woman's hand and t ing of the broken blade of the shi knife. Other Evidence. Mrs. Ruth H. Taylor, 125 Madison alley, Was next examined. She heard Edmonia kson talking Monday evening. Martha Williams told her that Smith (the prisoner) had been cursing Edmonia because the lat- ter went to the jail to see her husband. Edmonia dented to him that she had b down to the jail. She heard that monia went to § ‘The next day witn made inquiries about her. Witness also told of the fire in the kitchen the next day.

A young man locked in Edmonia’s room and saw nothing. Then he looked through the transom into the man’s room and said he could only see a pile of bedding and pil- lows. Several persons in the alley she said Eg- h’s room that night. missed Edmonia and had detected an unpleasant odor in the room. “Several months ago,” said wit- “I heard Smith threaten Edmonia’s "> the coroner asked. ‘He said if she ever lived with Jackson again he would cut her throat.” When did they have their last quarrel?” Monday afternoon. Do you know what Smith was sent to jail for?” “Yes, sir.” “For what?” ““trying to cut Mr. Jackson's throat when they had trouble about Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. Taylor sad that Smith had been drinking ever since his release from jail. She said Smith’s reputation was bad in the alley. People, she said, were afraid of him because she threatened to use a knife. Martha Williams, who lives in the house in which the crime was committed, told of the meeting between Edmonia and Smith when the former returned from jail. They went in the room together and Smith locked the door. Then they began to quarrel, and witness has not seen her since, She told of the inquiries she made con- cerning the missing woman and said she believed he had slept in the room in which the body was found until Thursday. ‘Then, he said, he moved to the kitchen, The general belief of those. who listened to the evidence, and who are familiar with the history of Smith's relations with the Jackson woman, is that the verdict will be to hold the accused man for the action of the grand jury. Smith's Record. Detective Hartigan learned that Smith was born in Charies county, Md., and kad come here’ from near Piscataway, in Prince George county, in 1864. Since then he has resided here with the exception of two terms, aggregating four years, whici he Spent in the Albany penitentiary. The first time he was sent to the penitentiary it was for robbing a man, and his second trip there was for stabbing a former compan- jon. He has served a number of terms in the jail and workhouse. During his younger days he was always in trouble, and his father spent hundreds of dollars, iz is said, in an effort to make a gcod man of him. Because of his wayward habits, his father neglected to provide for him in his will, and a lawsuit about the property caused strained relations between his brother, Charles H. Smith, and himsei{. —_ TRAILS COVERED WITH sxow. Narrow Exeape of Travelers on Sum- mit of Skaguay. SKAGUAY, Alaska, November 12, via.

NEW YORK, November 20.—The transac- Uons on the stock exchange today were de- void of any particular interest and were characterized by a very dull, featureless market, With no attention paid to any par- Ucular stock.

The rest o! list was almost neglected, and the result of the transactions for the day is a fractional de- cline. The week just ené stagnation in the have shown marked strength and particu- larly among the grangers and coalers we have witnessed some good buying. The buying of these stocks is due principally their particular bright future as regards extra dividends. The most active stock during the has been Sugar, which has attrac of the attention, as it was certainly the key to the rest of the Itst. The strength of this stock was due to the usual clique buy- ing. Aside from the activity of Sugar and the flurries in gas stocks, the market during the week has been without features. Earn- ings continue good; and the news from Washington is more favorable, but the near future for stocks is a continuation of the present traders’ market, with oceasi al flurries, until the assembling of Con- gress. The bank statement shows that the banks have gained over three million dollar ef which four-fifths is legal tenders. Th loans show an increase of nearly five mil lien dollars, which is largely due to the firancing of the Union Pacific purchase. The arrangements for operating this pu chase are so complete that there is hardly a possibility that the money market will be disturbed by it.
