Peter Rinker of Silver Brook said one of the strikers had told him that if any Eng- lish people went back to work they would be killed. Rudolph Heinzman 1 he saw several families driven out of their houses at Silver Brook by the strikers. The men fled to the bush. Witness was caught and compelled to march with the strikers. Robert Airoy testified that he saw a num- ber of McAdoo strikers start for Harwood to stop the breaker there. They were arm- ed with clubs and iron pipes. William Long, superintendent of the Sil- ver Brook colliery, testified as follows: “On September 3, one week before the shooting, I heard the strikers were coming Gver to our collizry, and knowing they had injured some men in some washeries near- by, 1 told our men to go home as fast as they could. The strikers rushed into our breaker, and with their clubs broke about 300 window panes. They then stopped the engines and blew the whist! They also broke the windows of the blacksmith shop.

They also chased a lot of our men into the woods, the men running there to escape them. Charles Meikrantz of Silver Brook testi- fied that he wase captured by the strikers and compelled to march with them. He es- caped, and being recaptured was beaten with a club. Henry Gustin of Beaver Brook warned off the strikers with a piste) when they tried to make him march with them. Richard John, engineer at the Beaver Brook colliery, was ordered to stop his >n- gine under threats of being hurt. He fear- ed if he resisted a lot of men in the mine would be killed. Giovanni Turpini, an Italian fruit ped- dler, said his wagon was stopped by a big crowd of McAdoo strikers, who tcok al! his fruit. They were all armed with clubs. Foreman Hays Testifies. William J. Hays, the outside for2man at the Lehigh Valley colliery, No. 1, at York- town, said that the McAdoo and Honey- brook strikers raided his colliery on Sep- tember 2. He first heard they were at Audenried ard went down there to see what they were doing. They were armed and riotous. While he was there they started for Beaver Brook, and knowing they would attack his place next he turnad back. He fixed the whistles so they could not be blown. When the strikers reached the breaker they forcad out the men. Hays protested, whereupon the strikers threat- ened him with clubs. “I was never in a more embarrassing po- siticn in my life,” sail Hays. “In the midst of it all word came that my wife had patpitation cf the heart, being frightened tor my safety.” He said that all of the 156 tenants of the company were in a state of terror some time previous to the men being driven out and afterward. District Attorney Martin, in cross-exam- ination, tried to get the witness to tell the names of each of the 156 tenants and to say in what condition of terror each one was, but the court would not allow it. “We will not take time for that,” said the judge. Levi Bellit of Yorktown said: “One of the Italian strikers threatened to run a knife into me if I did not join them. I marched a little way with them and then escaped.” “I saw some of the strikers throw stones at Superinter.dent Hays,” said Paul Dinlof- fer, one of the Yorktown employes. ———— OVERHEAD WIRES. Commissioners Amend Pending BUI for Their Removal. The District Commissioners today, in a communication to Senator McMillan, chair- man of the Senate District committee, transmitted a report on Senate bill 3603, for the removal of overhead electric lighting wires in the District, which is intended as a substitute for Senate bill 2745, recom- mending that the bill be modified in several Tespects. In section 1, line 16, after the word “con- nections,” the Commissioners recommend that the words “from alley conduits” be inserted, for reasons stated. It is also recommended by the Commis- stoners that section 3 be so amended as to restrict the issuance of permits for house connections, ete., to the United States Elec- tric Lighting Company and to the Potomac Electric Power Company. To section 7 of the bill, after the last word in that section, the Commissioners suggest that the following be added: ‘But nothing contained in this act shall be con- strued as applying to the conduits or over- head wires maintained by any railroad op- erated by electric power under an act of Congress.” In explanation of the amendments gested by them the Commissioners sa: “The provision in the first section rela- tive to alley poles and overhead wires for block distribution might: be construed as authorizing the erection of such poles and wires for block distribution of electric light- ing power from separate plants installed in different squares in the city. The in- tention was not to authorize such distri- bution except from conduits laid m the streets and avenues under authority of Congress, and the proposed amendment will limit the use of alley overhead house con- nections to electric lighting companies now doing business in the city. “In section 3 it seems desirable to specify parties to whom permits for house connec- tions may be issued. The names of the two electric lighting companies have, there- fore, been inserted by the proposed amend- ment of this section. “The general requirement that all over- head electric lighting and power wires shall be removed may be construed as applying to trolley roads, unless such roads are spe- cifically exempted from the provisions of this act. As this act is rot intended to ap- ply to the conduits and overhead wires maintained by railroads operated by elec- tric power under authority of an amendment exempting them from the pro- visions of the act has been added at the end of the seventh section.” ——— SPECIAL NOTICES. Life Insurance Fer,th, Klondite tn Dr. Thomas B, Bailey Found ina Dying Condition This Morning, AN OVERDOSE OF COCAINE Coroner Gives a Certificate of Accidental Death. FRIENDS GREATLY SHOCKED Sse Dr. Thomas B. Bailey, passed assistant surgeon, U. S. N., died suddenly in his recom at the Albany, corner of 17th and H streets northwest, about noon today. A dose of cocaine, self-injected, caused th2 doctor's death, and Coroner Carr, who made an investigation of the case this af- ternoon, decided that an overdose had be2n taken accidentally. Dr. Bailey was thirty- four years of age, and had recently return- ed from Asia, where he w2nt on the Ma- chias in the naval service. He was a Washingtonian, his father being the late W. H. Bailey and his mother, Mrs. Eileen Bailey, who lives at 138 B str2et northeast. .Mr. Lorenzo Bailey, a member of the local bar, is a brother of the deczased. This morning about 8 o'clock one of the colored boys in the apartment house awakened the doctor, and about two hours later a cham- bermaid went to clean his room. Finding the door locked on the inside, something wrong was suspected, and an entrance to the room was effected. When the colored boy succeeded in getting in the room he found the doctor, partly dressed, seated in the chair at his desk. He was unconscious. The door was opened and physicians were sent for. Dr. Russell was first to respond and later Dr. Rixey of the navy was called. It was evident to the doctors that the sick man was too far/gone, but they did their best for him. A strong heart stimulant was administered, but their efforts were rewarded only in keeping the dying man alive about two hours, for, as already stated, he died about noon. The dead man was well known in army and navy circles, in which he was always popu- lar, and he leaves many friends to mourn his loss. It is said that a letter was left by the de- ceased, saying he was dying from heart disease. Shock to Relatives. The ag2d mother of Dr. Bailey did not learn of his sudden death until after 2 o'clock this afternoon. She was greatly shocked at the sad occurrence. Mrs. Celon- na, a sister of Dr. Bailey, told a Star re- porter that her brother had rec:ntly re- ceived two severe falis from a bicycle, in each of which he was injured about the head. Beside this, he was much worried on account of tha serious illness of her lit- tle daughter, and night before last rode to their home, 138 B street northeast, from the Albany, at such a rate of speed as to cause him to be dripping with perspiraticn when he rzached Mrs. Colonna’s house. Mrs. Colonna thought that the bicycle ac- cidents and the case of night before last might have had something to do with his death. There was no reason whatever, sh2 said, that he should commit suicide; that he had everything to live for. Friends Grieved. The news of the suicide of Dr. Bailey produced a great shock among his friends. He had but a few weeks ago returned from a three years’ cruise around the world, which ended at Philadelphia, and was promptly assigned to duty at the Washing- ton navy yard, where it was expected he would remain for the ensuing three years. Dr. Bailey was, it was stated, devoted to his profession, without a care, companion- able and learned, with, in short, everything at his command to make life desirable. In his boyhood he was a page in the Sen- ate. His medical education was received in Washington, and after his graduation the President gave him an appointment in the medical department of the navy, where he continued until his tragic death. The associates of Past Assistant Sur- gecn Thomas B, Bailey at the Navy De- partment were very much shocked and surprised to hear of his death this morn- irg. He was a bright and intelligent offi- cer, and was not known to be suffering {rem any physical ailment or domestic or fnancial trouble. He was born- at Ben- netsburg, Pa., December 20, 1864, end ap- pcinted assistant surgeon in the navy May 23, 1889. He reached his present grade of Fast assistant surgeon June 30, 1892. His record was active and creditable. Soon after entering the navy he served for some time on the receiving ship Dale at the Washington nevy yard, and was afterward successively attached to the receiving ship St. Louis, at Philadelphia; the cruiser Phil- edelphia, on the Pacific station; the train- ing ship Minnesota, at New York; the Na- vai Home, Philadeljhia; the gunboat Ma- chias, on the North Atlantic station, and the training ships Richmond and Constel- lation, at Newport. About three years ago he was assigned to duty on the gunboat Machias, which had been ordered to the Asiatic station, and he came home from that station last Decem- ber on the gunboat Yorktown. When the Yorktown was put out of commission at San Francisco, December 8, 1897, he was assigned to duty at the navy yard, Wash- ington, D. C. He reported there December 22 last, and served continuously on that duty up to the time of his death. He was unmarried. His mother lives at 138 B street northeast, and his brother, Lorenzo O. Bailey, has an office at 330 4% street. ‘Two sisters also survive him. His death swells the list of vacancies in the naval medical corps to nineteen. As a Cause. The doctor had suffered from rheuma- tism, and it is said he thought he had heart trouble. When suffering pain he resoried to the use of cocaine. His arm showed that he had probably used the drug a num- ber of times. Soon after the doctor’s death his brother end sister called. They will take charge of the body.

Tyler Finds Several Objectionable Features in It. Even the Proponent of the Measure Acknowledges Its Uncon- stitutiqpality. = a Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va.,; February 24.—Gov. ‘Tyler sent to th> senate today his veto of the bill to incorporate, the town of Rosslyn. In his message he says: ,"‘There are ob- jections to this bill both of a constitutional and prudential nature, and I feel quite sure, with proper time for consideration, this bill would not have passed either branch of the general assembly. As to the moral or prudential Teasops I need have but little to say. It will ever b2 my duty to exercise to the fullest evéry power at my command to suppress lawlessness of every kind. : 5 “Whether or not'ft {# the’ purpose of this measure to credté'and ehield from outside interference a ‘Monte Carlo’ at this point, or whether the parties designated as officers under this charter are reputable or disrep- utable characters is not a question I feel called upon to discuss or decide. Suffice it to say I should not givemy approval to a measure where the siightést charge of un- fitness is made, ‘especially, when we should give to this section men in.every way above suspicion to execute the laws at such an im- portant point.” me The governor then quotes from the con- stitution to show that the time fixed for holding the elections in the town is without authority, and the “proposition to legis- late officers in this town into office for a period of nearly four years, which involves the ignoring of our regular election, seems to be unnecessary, if not unconstitutional.” In conclusion, the governor says the pro- pesed charter involves a dangerous power and 1s “fraught with possibilities of evil.” Last night the governor received the fol- lowing l2tter from Col. L. C. Barley, the delegate from Alexundria city and county, who got the bill in quéstion through the house: To His Exceliency, J. Hoge Tyler, Governor of Virgini My Dear Sir: I desire to state that at your request, I have examined carefully the constitutional objections raised against the Rosslyn charter, and have reached the conclusion that the objection raised per- taining to the election of officers in the month of November instead of May is a valid one, and therefore respectfully re- quest you to veto the bill. Respectfully yours, (Signed) . L. C. BARLEY. The governor received, among other pa- pers protesting against this bill, a petition signed by four-fifths of the property ow: ers at Rosslyn and thirty-eight out of sixty white voters at Old Rosslyn. —— MADAM BONAPARTE’S BELL. Secretary Porter Reports That Its Ringing Creates Nuisance. Complaint was recently made to the Dis- trict Commissioners by Mr. John Addison Porter, secretary to the President, that a certain gong bell, as rung by Madam Bona- parte of 1627 K street, is a nuisance. The Commissioners were informed that the bell is a large one and connects the house of Madam Bonaparte with her stable; that it is rung at least three times a day to call the servants to the house, and that its ringing is much to the disturbance of the neighborhood. The complaint was re- ferred to Lieutenant Boyle of the police force, who reported that “Madam Bona- parte says she will -continue to use the gong as. she has for the Jast twelve years.” Lieutenant Boyle was evjdently impress- ed with the belief that Madam Bonaparte means just what she Says, Yor he suggests that as, in his opinion, the police regula- tions. in regard to bejle, ate., only apply to the streets, aven jeys and other public places, the remeédy 17 the case is in the Equity Court. The complaint next Came btfore Commis- sioner Wight, and He! resommended that it be referred to the @ttorgey for the Dis- trict. In doing so Mr,Wight said he would be glad to have the opinion of the law offi- cer of the District as to what steps should be taken in the case*by Mr. Porter. The recommendaton of Mr. Wight will be adopted, and the attorney for the District will. undoubtedly endeavor to so solve the problem as to rendertéver¥ one happy. Polegate ts Michael Mahsnex® Will.

The President today sent the follow- ing nominations to the Senate: William T. Fee of Ohio, consul at Cien- fuegos, Cuba; Christian L.

President McKinley has requested the Fost Office Department to sift to the bot- tom the tragedy at Lake City, S. C., where the @olored postmaster, F. B. Baker, and his baby were shot dead, other members of his family wounded and the post office building burned, with the bodies of Baker and his child. The President has asked that the inquiry be pushed by the best talent in the detective department of the Post Office Department, and that a reward be offered for the apprehension of the murderers. Today a large delegation of South Caro- na republican politicians called on the President to lay the case before him. The President told them that he had already acted, but would be glad of any assistance which would help to bring the perpetrators to justice. Several of the members of the Gelegation made complaint that the Post Office Department had not acted sooner. They say that Baker was shot last De- cember and his post office burned. Some- thing ought te have been done at that time. The delegation consisted of Capt. I. B. Johnson, State Chairman R. R. Tolbert. Col. R. M. Wallace, Dr. W. D. Crum, ex: Marshal G. I. Cunningham, ex-Represen- tatlves Smalis and Murray, E. H. Deas, J. W. Wheeler, S. E. Smith, B. Doscher, J. W. Reardon, T. J. Gorghan. B. K. Bruce, register of the treasury, also called on the President to discuss the same matter. Baker was well known to many members of the delegation, who pronounced him an inoffensive, capable colored man. Un- der the Harrison administration he was postmaster at Effingham, 8. C., but was not then molested. ‘The reward to be of- fered by the government is supplemented by a reward of $5) offered by the gov- ernor of South Carolina. Invited to the West. Senator Perkins of California called upon the President today with Hugh Craig, pres- ident of the chamber of commerce of San Francisco and president of the Trans-Mis- sissippi Congress. Mr. Craig came here to extend an invitation to the President to at- tend the next meeting of the congress, to be held at Wichita, Kan., in September. The President expressed pleasure at the invita- tion and said that if he could make it con- venient to be present he would do so. He again announced his intention of going west this summer if circumstances permit. W. J. Bryan was the former president of the Trans-Mississippi Congress. He was succeeded by Mr. Craig, who holds directly opposite political views to the Nebraskan. The congress meets annually to discuss affairs pertaining to the west and to take steps to advance the interests of that sec- tion of the country. “At our coming meeting,” said Mr. Craig to a Star reporter, “‘we will discuss a va- riety of subjects, among them the irriga- tion of the arid plains, the development of mining industries, the deepening of the channels of the Mississippi and the harbors of the Pacific coast, the protection of the farmers against the encroachment of the railroads, the development of trade and commerce with the countries across the Pa- cific, the laying of a cable to Hawaii and the annexation of Hawaii, if Congress has not acted by that time. The west is for annexation.” Mr. Craig is on his way to London. Representative Barham and State Senator Gleaves, recently appointed surveyor gen- eral of California, were California callers at the White House. Be Virginia Callers, Col. Brady, cx-Represeutative Bowden and Collector Agnew of Virginia saw the Pres- ident toddy. They are confident that Judge Edmund Waddill, jr., of Richmond will be ncminated by ;the President to succeed Judge Robert W. Hughes, who will shortly retire from the-federal bench. It is said to Judge Waddill who te personally kasien to and respected by the President. The 3. A bill in equity, asking the appointment of a receiver and an ucccunting, was. Washington, D. C.

CLEVELAND PARK. fel7-att READY TO MARCH. Military Company of Fifty Placed at Secretary Alger’s Disposal. The patriotic spirit cf the citizens of Washington residing in the vicinity of 22d street and Pennsylvania averue northwest was clearly demonstrated last night at a special meeting held in the spacious hall in the Lucas building. The meeting was called to order precisely at 8 o'clock by Major Samuel H. Howell, who, in an ad- Gress, set forth the purpose of the meeting, stating that, from ell accounts, war was inevitable, and that it was the intention of the citizens of the northwest to organize a company of volunteers to be ready to go to the front. The design of the meeting seemed to meet with popular appreval, ard, at the sugges- tion of Major Howell, a company was formed, officers elected and a resolution adopted, notifying the Secretary of War that a company of sixty men and officers would be at his disposal at an hour's notice. Most of the members of the newly formed company have had corsiderable National Guard experience, and consider themselves cempetent to engage in hostilities without previous drilling. ¥ The officers elected are as follows: Sam’l H. Howell, captain; Augustus Willige, first lieutenant; J. L. Stewart, second lieuten- ant; Chas. Miller, first sergeant; John G. Challice, second sergeant; Bishop W. Smith, third sergeant; Stephen Kage, fourth sergeant; Charles Ruth, fifth sergeant; cor- porals, A. C. Morgan, William Francis, Chas. Bouvet, Eugene Lucas, jr., Thomas O'Day and John Lawton. ‘The muster of men includes many promi- nent citizens of the northwest, among whom are J. L. Thompson, Brook Lee, Wash.
