Affair Which Occurred Yesterday Afternoon—The Deceased a Nephew of Justice Hagner. By the aceidentai discharge of a shot gun afternoon, the life of Mr. nephew and ward Judge A. B. Hagner, and one of the best known members of the local bar, was sud- terminated. For the amusement of his son, Robert, fourteen years of age, Mr. Hagner had taken apart the weapon and Replacing the cart- ridges in the breech he moved in the direc- tion of a closet just as his son left the room. A moment liter a loud report sound - Mrs. Hagner, who was in an adjoining room at the time, hastened to her husband aad found him practically lifeless, lying on the floor with one side of his head almost carly yesterday m put it together. 5 the morning Mr. Hagner had been returning to his hom Sales street, about 12:30 o'clock. his son greatly depressed because of the loss of « favorite hunting dog, which had died a few days previously. talking about hunting trips, and in order to restore the boy's spirits Mr. stated, brought forth the shot gun. As the assembled Robert remarked that he supposed, because of the d the dog, they would have to give up their trips, but the father reassured him by say- ing that another dog would be procured and the outings would be continued. Those were his last words. His Relatives Sammoned. . Hagner realized what had happened she sent for Dr. Franc’ Hagner, a nephew of the deceased, lives, near the De Saics street home.

In Equity Court No. 1 the death of Mr. was announced by Mr. Worthington, who spoke very briefly, say- ing that more extended remarks woukl be made at some future time. that he had arranged to deliver an opinicn this morning in a case in which Mr. Hag- counsel, Judge Cox ad- After saying ner appeared journed his court. Mr. Walter D. Davidge, in Circuit Court No. i, called the attention of Judge Cole to the death of Mr. Hagner. that the deceased was so well known it was not necessary at this time to do more than to formally mention the deplorable incident and suggest that the court, in view thereof, adjourn. Juage Cole spoke of the high esteem and affection in which Mr. Hagner was held, not only by the members of the bar, but by the community at large. warmly approved the motion to adjourn and such action was thereupon taken. The high character of Mr. Hagner as an Individual, his ability as a lawyer and the fact that he was a foster son of one of the respected judges of the court were mention- ed by Mr. Henry E. Davis in notifying Judge McComas, in Circuit Court No. 2, of the death of Mr. Hagner. Mr. Davidge thought it eminently fitting that the court adjourn without delay, not only for the reason that Mr. Hagner was counsel in the e set for hearing today, but because of the high character of the deceased, because he was an officer of the bar association and because he was so closely related to one of the judges of the court. In Criminal Court No. 1 Mr. J. J. Dar- lington spoke of the great loss the tar ha: sustained by the death of Mr. Hagner. H. alzo referred to the close relationship ex- the deceased and Judge Hagner, and added that it was not neces- sary to say anything further than to move the court to adjourn forthwith. lef Justice Bingham concurred in the views of Mr. Darlington, and directed that the business of the court be discontinued for the day. The chief justice remarked that the news of the death of Ms. Hagner had proved very great shock to him. In Criming} Court No, 2 Mr. Samuel Mad- dcx spoke feelingly of the death of Mr. Hagner. Judge Bradley took occasion to state that he had known the deceased for years, and entertained a personal affection for him.

The Book of Judges, which 1s the first of the series issued, will be foNowed by twen- ty or more volumes, in due course, upon which a number of the first scholars of the world have been laboring for many years. The Polychrome Bible will seek to show in the verious books of the Old Testament the documents which, it Is asserted, go to make up each. This will be done by means of a vuriety of colors printed upon the page, over which the text is printed. ‘Thus, in the Book of Judges, the carrying out of this scheme requires, besides the part which has no colered background, the use of dark blue, light blue, dark purple, light purple, green and yellow coverings.

The matter of improving King street be- tween Fairfax and Royal streets, which has been hanging fire for one reason or an- other for several months past, will probably come up for settlement. The resobution appropriating the amount of direct tax refund to the improvement of Washington street will probably cause a great deal of discussion. Of to the Penitentiary. George Carroll, colored, was today taken to the United States penitentiary at Colum- bus, Ohio, by Deputy. Marshals Glover and Garnett, to serve a term of six years for housebreaking. Carroll broke into and robbed the residence of Maj. W. B. Hughes at Fort Myer in 18)4. He was arrested and sentenced by Judge Hughes in the United { court.

Officer Duvall went on to say that last evening about one hour after sunset Pipes was not only riding through streets in the northern part of the city at a speed of twenty-three miles, but had no light on his wheel.

With ech succeeding week evidence ac- cumulates to greater and greater extent showirg that the fair to be held in April at Convention Hall, for the benefit of the building fund of the preposed new Masonic Temple, will be notable among such events. The characteristic energy with which Ma- sons address themselves to everything that affects their order and the fraternal ef- fort they alweys exert in behalf of such objects are shown in the present instance in an emphatic degree. All the lodges, chapters and commanderies are enthusias- tically trying to outdo each other in the intention of making the fair a success, and ail the members of these perticular branches are engaged in a pleasant person- al rivalry to accomplish more than his brothers. All this will naturally result in an affair of unusual brilliancy and attractive- ness. At the meeting of the board of control held Saturday night at headquarters. No. 1425 New York avenue, many unique fea- tures were proposed and discussed. The committee on entertainment, through its chairman, E. B. Hay, presented many suggestions, all of which, doubtiess, will be adopted. The plans of this committee include the rendition of an criginal ode by 300 voices, accompanied by a band of twenty-five pieces, on th opering night, and a series of tableaux of allegcrical, artistic and his- toric character at intervals during the progress of the fair. It was also proposed to have drills by young ladies costumed as waitresses, typewriters and dairy maids and children’s dances and Mother Goose melodies by lttle ones. W. Larue Thomas, right eminent commander of Knight Tem- plars, the head of the order in this coun- try. sent a letter announcing his purpose to visit the fair one evening in his official capacity, accompanied by a large number ef distinguished knights. This assures an oceaston of great brilliancy and dignity. Additional applications for space for booths were received from Eureka and Columbia Royal Arch Chapters, Orient Commandery, and Hope and St. John Lodges. Harmony Lodge, through a committee, applied for space in which to reproduce an old English village, the intention being for the lodge members and their ladies to in- habit it, costumed in the dress of the sev- enteenth century. Columbia Commandery, Knights Templar, applied for the candy privilege, but the monopoly of any one article will hardly be permitted by the board of control. Chair- man Frank H. Thomas of the committee on outside contributions reported the com- pletion of the circular to be sent out to all the Masonic bodies and prominent } Ss of the country, the first copies of which will be sent to sections remote from Wash- ington, such as the Pacific slope, Maine and Texas. The board of control will also issue a prospectus signed by an honorary com- mittee headed by Vice President Hobart and including many distinguished names in national official life. The Masonic Daily News will be the name of the daily paper to be issued during the fair by the press committee. Committees Completed. The following committees had their mem- bership completed. The officers were as follows: Committee on decorations—J. H. Small, jr., chairman; William A. Smith, vice chair- man; 8S. M. Ryder, Committee on tickets and badges—How- ard Perry, chairman; A. B.
