DOYLESTOWN, Pa., March 1.—Inform: tun reached here today that Miss Annie 1. Edwards, who resided at Jamison, this county, a short distance from Doylestown, was found murdered in her bed room last night. The woman's head was beaten al- mest \o a jelly, and the room which she had occupied bore evidence of @ terrible struggle. here is no clue to the murderer, neithor is * any evidence as to the time when the murder actually occurred. The last time the woman was seen alive was on Friday night, and as she lived aicne in the house the perpetrators of the terrible crime have had ample time te es- ce pe. yg ‘chair and a water pitcher had been used to beat the woman's brains out, and both were found covered with blood and matted hair. ‘The motive for the crime was doubtless robbery. The county commissioners have offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the murderers. The community is terribly wrought up over the killing of the woman, as this is the second murder in this county within a week. The county commissioners have increased from $500 to $500 the reward offered for the arrest of Adam Weaver, who, on Wednes- cay it, shot and killed Deputy Constable Erwin Mondeaux, while the latter was attempting to place Weaver under arrest. ped SEs Ey Fire at Rochester, N. Y. ROCHESTER, N. Y., March 1.—Early to day the plants of the Conk Hauger and the Carrier Cutlery Company, the two largest industries at Montour Wg Schuyler county, were destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at $40,000. Nearly one hundred hands are thrown out of work. Besides the loss on the buildings and con- tents the companies had on hand orders aggregating ‘$15,000. — ee Lieut.

Brown Crematory for Emergencies, ” but Refuse to“Be’Senut Away in Seowa. —s Upon the recommendation of Commis- sioner Wight, who has charge of the mat- ter, the District Commi:sfoners today modi- fied the contract existing between them and James G. Warfield for the collection, removal and cremation of all garbage, re- fuse, animal and vegetable matter, etc., in the manner indicated in The Star several days ago. ‘The present contract has about two years to run, and it ts so modified, with the con- sent of Mr. Warfield, of course, that in the matter of-the disposal of garbage, refuse, animal and vegetable matter, Contractor Warfield shall maintain the Brown crema- tory, now located at the foot of South Cap- itol street, for such use as may be required of him. But it {s further provided that when ft is possible to do so all garbage and refuse matter collected shaJl be transported down the Potomac river in scows, which shall be eatisfactory to the health officer of the District, to be disposed of at a point or points below the District, in such manner as Mr. Warfield may de- cide upon. But is provided fur- ther that wharves in the District used by the contractor shall be put in such condition and so maintained by him as to meet the entire approval of the health offi- cer, and that when the river is not naviga- ble on account of ice the garbage and re- fuse matter shall be disposed of at the Brown crematory. In all other respects the existing contract is to remain In full force. Mr. Wight’s Views. In speaking to a Star reporter on the sub- ject this afternoon, Commissioner Wight said he believed the arrangement made to- day will meet the approval of the citizens of the District, and that it is the best one which could be made under the existing circumstances. Contractor Warfield wished to extend the contract for three years, but the Commissioners thought that would be unwise, not desiring to place the District ina position which would prevent it from taking advantage at the expiration of the existing contract of any advancement or improvement which might meantime occur in the matter of garbage collection and dis- posal. The question has been deliberately and careful!y considered, explained Mr. Wight, and the step taken today seems to the Com- missioners to be the very best solution of a very troublesome question. Care will be taken to see that the contractor fully lives up to the amended contract, and also to prevent elther the people of the District or those down the river from being annoyed by the disposal system today determined upon. The wharves here will be cemented and provided with the best available sewage facilities, and the scows which will carry the garbage out of the District will he air- tight and rigged with sliding tops, which will prevent the escape of either the refuse or of the disagreeable odors. The contract as amended is entirely satisfactory to both the contractor and the Commissioners, and Mr. Wight expressed himself as being con- fident that it will be.fully observed by the contractor. ———— MRS.

Tae decision of Judge Rodgers at Fort Smith, Ark., yesterday, holding the United States federal meat inspection law to be unconstitutional, apparently causes no con- cern to the officials of the Agricultural De- partment, under whose administration the law is executed. They regard the decision as one largely technical in character, which will not affect the practical operation of the law when applied to the inspection of meats intended for interstate traffic or export to foreign countries. Their chief regret in the matter appears to bé in the failure to con- viet Boyer of the Dold Packing Company, who was charged with attempting to bribe one of the meat inspectors. It was the first case that had been brought under the penal clause of the statute, and the officials had hoped it would result in a conviction. Secretary Wilson w: t-gbout to leave the department for the t meeting when a reporter called his at! rari lon to the decision. He said: “We have known for some time what the decision in the case would be, but did not feel at liberty to speak of it before it was rendered.

MARLBOROUGH HOUSE, 8. we George F. Green Designated to Succeed the Late John J, Beall. The Appointment Causes Promotions im the Department—Civil Service Rules Governed. The vacancy in the office of water reg- istrar caused by the recent death of John J. Beall “was today filled by the appoint- ment of George F. Green to the position. Mr. Green has been a clerk in the District water department since September, 1886, and his promotion to be water registrar was intimated in The Star several days ago. The appointment of Mr. Green was followed by the following promotions in the office of water registrar: H. L. Karpeles, clerk; at $1,000 per annum, appointed clerk at $1,400, vice Green, appointed clerk at $1,800 per annum and water registrar; Wm. F. Sullivan, inspector, at $900 per annum, appointed clerk at $1,400 per annum, vice Karpeles; F. T. Johnson, inspector on the temporary rolls at $3 per diem, appointed inspector at $800 per annum, vice Suilli- van. The appointment of Mr. Green and the consequent promotions in the office were made upon the recommendation of Capt. Burr, assistant to the Engineer Commis: sioner, and were indorsed by Commissione? Black, who has charge of the water de- partment. They are in accordance with the desire of the Commissioners to observe au Yar as possible the principles of civil serv- ice rules, although it is understood that no little pressure was exerted on them in behalf of parties outside the water de- partment. Sketch of Appointee. Mr. Green, the new water registrar, was born in Georgetown some fifty-odd years ego, and has always resided in the District. He comes of a well-known family, and his sgtandfather, Uriah Forrest, who lost a leg in the revolutionary war at the battle of Germzntown, was subsequently appointed clerk of the old Circuit Court of the Dis- trict, remaining so until his death, after having been appointed a brigadier general by the Maryland legislature. Mr. Green was appointed to a position in the District water department in September, 1886, and tas for many years acted as water registrar in the absence of the incumbent of that office. He is said to be thoroughly familiar with the requirements and duties of the position, and his appointment caused uni- versal satisfaction at the District building, particularly among his associates in the water department. —.—_—_ CENTRAL AMERICAN TROUBLES. Guatemala Might Ally Herself With Costa Rica, In the event of a war between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, it is said that the alliance known as the Greater Republic would give to Nicaragua the armed strength of Sal- vador and Honduras. The Nicaraguan army is estimated at about 8,000 men. Sal- vador has not more than 3,000 soldiers, but Honduras has the best drilled and equipped force in Central America, numbering 50,000 men. Against these the Costa Rican army of about 5,000 seems insignificant. But in the present calculations it is thought that Guatemala would cast her influence with Costa Rica. Guatemala has an army ot about 60,000. In this event the forces would be abottt evenly matched, with Nica- ragua, Honduras and Salvador arrayed against Guatemala and Costa Rica. The basis for the view that Guatemala may be drawn into the controversy is the fact that the new president of Guatemala, Senor Estrada Cabrera, was a special envoy to Costa Rica when the latter country was in a former conflict with other Centra} American states. At that time Guatemala was looked upon as the ready ally of Costa Rica, and it is thought that Cabrera would again incline to the same alliance, ee SEEDS FOR ARID REGIONS. Valuable Results of Prof. Tour of the East. Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural De- partment, in pursuance of his determina- tion, as far as practical, to utilize the agri- cultural seed appropriation in securing “new, rare and valuable” seeds, dispatched Prof. Niels E. Hansen, professor of horti- culture at Brookings, S. D., to eastern Eu- rope and Asia to secure new seeds and plants and to ascertain what the people at the original cradle of mankind had been doing to adapt plants to their conditions. Prof. Hansen 1s now preparing his report for publication, after a trip involving many thousand miles of travel in eastern Russia, ‘Trans-Caucasia, Russian Turkestan, west- ern China and Siberia. The !mmense dis- tances traveled, the change of climates and food, and especially the overland journey in Asia, which was a very rough and ad- venturesome one, severely tested the en- durance of the young and active man sent on this mission. The trip was a successful one. Many promising varieties were obtained. About three car loads of seed will be uistributed to state experiment stations and others. These seeds, it is expected, will be chiefly of value in the arid regions, the purpose of Prof. Hansen's trip being to obtain such as were distinguished for resistance to drouth and heat. ii en's o RE-ENLISTED. CANNOT BE A Deserter From the Army Who Has Been Pardoned. Attorney General Griggs has rendered an opinion to the Secretary of War in the case of Daniel T. Thompson, late military pris- oner, which has a general application to all military deserters who apply for re-enlist- ment, and is regarded as of great impor- tance to the army. ‘Thompson was a private in Company A, 7th.Infantry. He was tried and convicted by court-martial of desertion and sentenced to be dishonorably discharged from the service of the United States and to be con- fined at hard labor for one year. After Thompson had served nearly the entire period of his imprisonment he was granted a full pardon by the President of the United States. Subsequently he applied in the regular way for re-enlistment, and the question arose as to the effect of the Presi- dent’s pardon on his record. Some military authorities contended that the pardon com- pletely obliterated the offense of which he had beer convicted, while a great many others held to the contrary view. The question was considered of the greatest im- portance in the enforcement of discipline in the army, and it was finally referred to the Attorney General for an opinion. The opinion of the Attorney General has aust been received at the War Department. It fg an elaborate presentation of the law in the Bee and holds, in substance, that a soldier convicted of desertion is forever barred frome re-entering the military serv- ice of the government. His conclusions are as follows: “I have pursued this line of reasoning in order to draw a distinction between a erime or offense to which the executive. cy honest and-faithful service on the part of a soldier during his term, and, while Congress has no power, by legislation, to abridge the effect of the President's sal = yet Con- —- Bacon, Cabbage, Turnips, C. ‘BUFFALO LITHIA WATER Nerve Tonic, Anti-Dyspeptic and Restorative A Sufferer Who Had Lived for Years on Tea and Crackers, Etc., Eats Bacon, Cabbage and Turnips.
