MILLER MAKES CONFESSION Admits Charge of Robbery and Held for Grand-Jury. Charles Miller was today held by Judge Kimball in $1,000 bond for the action of the grand jury to answer the charge of robbing Mr. Simon P. Loose of Hagerstown, Md., of a gold watch, a diamond ring and other erticles, with $40 in money, valued in all at $280, about ten days ago. During the investigation of the case it was alleged that Joseph Smith, who had volunteered as a witness against Miller, had received a part of the proceeds, and Smith was promptly arrested and placed in the dock. He also was held in $1,000. Miller then handed to Prosecutor Mul- lowny a written confession, stating among other things that he took’ the jewelry to Baltimore and pawned it, also that h> gave a part of the money to Smith and another portion to a party who has not yet been ar- rested. He further alleged that the job of robbing Mr. Loose was planned by Walter De Atl>y, who appeared on the stand as a government witness. Mr. Loose said that so far as the night of the robbery was concerned his mind was a blank. He knew that he came to Washing- ton that day, but had no recollection of what occurred until he became sober th> next Gay, when he found that his property as above mentioned was missing.

MAN’ AT HOSPITAL Mr. Sherman Arrested and Locked Up!at Rolice Station. HIS VERSION OF THE AFFAIR ae Charles H. Howland Sherman, a me- chenical engineer, said to be a cousin of Mrs. Hetty Green, was arrested this motn- ing and locked up at the ninth police sta- tion on a charge of assault and battery ‘with ‘tntent to kill. Last night he shot a colored man named Charles Johnson, wno is also known as Geary. The shooting tock Place last night about 9:30 o’cloca, on the premises of Mr. Sherman, near Woodridge, not far from the northeast corner of the District. With a load of buckshot in him the colored man managed to make his way to the premises of Mr. Sherwood, where he remained in an outhouse over night. ‘This morning he was given his breakfast by the Sherwoods, and later he was brought to che renee and taken to the Emergency Hos- pital. ‘The colored man had been employed at Mr. Sherman's for several we2ks, and last night there was some trouble because some silverware belonging to Mrs. Frazi2r, who also lives in the house, had heea missed. It is claimed by Mr. Shecman that the shooting was accidental. Tae shot entered the man’s left arm, leg and abdomen, and while his injuries are serious, it 13 thougut he will recover. Policeman Knupfer, who is on duty in the county, was at his home, in Langdon, last night and heard the reports of Mr. Sher- man’s gun, but as it was not unusual to hear such reports, he attached no import- ance to the affair. This morning he went out to make an investigation, as did Po- liceman Brown, with the result stated. The house rests on a knoll some distance from the main road, but facing the electric road which runs from Eckington to the District line. Mrs. Frazier has been en- gaged in literary work most of her life, while Mr. Sherman has recently been writ- ing for New York papers. Mrs. Frasier Alarmed. Mr. Sherman came in the city yesterday morning to transact some business, and during his absence Mrs. Frazier became somewhat alarmed at the conduct of the colored man. He seemed to follow her about from place to place, and finally she left orders for him to do certain work and went to call on a neighbor. She remained at the neighbor's house longer than usual, hoping Mr. Sherman would be at home when she returned. Reaching home she found that Johnson had not been very industrious during her absence, and she spoke to him avout his failure to have the little work she had mapped out for him finished. Supper was served, the coloréd man assisting in ar- ranging the table; and Mrs. Frazier then noticed that two silver spoons and a butter knife had disappeared. The spoons were solid silver, and Mrs. Frazier prized them highly. They ‘had belonged to her mother, and were at least seventy-five years old. Negro Was Impudent. Speaking to @ Star reporter, Mrs. Frazier said that the Spoois had disappeared dur- ing her absence and when.she returned she asked Johnson abeut them. “I want toknow If you think I stole your spoons,” ‘said ‘Johnson, and Mrs. Fra- zer said she did not. “I think,” she added, “that you threw them out in the dish water.” Johnson theh went about the house ap- parently makifg aicareful search for the missing articles. Séveral times the colored man was told that he would be given one more chance, and fe sald if let alone until this morning he would find them. After a search of about two hours Johnson, who was stamling in the yard near the rear dcor, said to Mrs. Frazier: “Tell Mr. Sherman to come out here.” “He don't want to come out there,” she told him. Finally Mrs. Frazier advised Mr. Sherman to arrest Johnson and turn him over to Policeman Brown at Langdon. Arming himself with his gun, loaded with buckshot, Mr. Sherman went out, intend- ing, it 1s understood, to go behind ‘his pris- oner to the officer’s house. Johnson, how- ever, was not a willing prisoner, and in- stead of going to Langdon he turned and made an effort to knock the gun from his employer's hands. “None of that,” cried Mr. Sherman, who leveled his gun at the negro. “Don’t shoot,” Mrs. Frazier called. “I'm only going to fire in the grount,” was his response. Fires Two Shots. By this time the colored man was run- ning in the direction of the railroad tracks. Two shots were fired, and then Mr. Sher- man returned to the house, not having the slightest idea, he declares, that he nad shot the colored man. Thinking Johnson might return and make an attempt to do some damage, Mr. Sherman remained awake most of the night. Speaking to a Star reporter, Mr. Sher- man said he had no intention of shooting Jobnson. The first shot fired, he said, was an accident, and the charge went in the grcund. He then fired the second shot, as he suppcsed, too high in the air to hit the man, who was running away. He was much concerned over his arrest and in- carceration in the police station, as it was the first time he had had such an experi- ence. Attorneys Carrington and Wallace are looking after his interests. Today Mrs. Frazier found the missing articles, two spoons and a butter knife, where they had been placed, evidently with care, under the dining room table, on the floor. Both Mrs. Frazier and Mr. Sherman say they have been annoyed very much by thieves during recent months. On one oc- casion the then house was visited and Tob- bed of-about fifty chickens. At another time, Mr. Skerman says, he was “held up” by acsrmens aut at still another time he was fired upon by two B” SY in the not far from the house. eo wcoes This.afternoon the physicians at the hos- pital said that Johnson will Probably re- cover. zi ———__. NEW RULES OF PRACTICE. of Adjuadicating Pension Claims Changed.

Ey cost you HE IS NOW A COLONEL Commissioner Black Kept Busy Receiving Congratulations, Regret Felt From District—Tributes From at Possible Removal His Associates, Captain William M. Black, the Engineer Commissioner of the District, was kept busy today receiving the congratulations of the employes of the District and of citi- zens upon his promotion to be a chief en- gineer, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, the President having so nominated him yes- terday afternoon. The promotion means, of course, that Captain Black will soon cease to be the Engineer Commissioner of the District, but just where he will be ordered not known. Nor is it known who his successor as Commissioner will be. Captain Black was appointed Engineer Commissioner of the District March 1, 1897, and the next day relieved Major Charles F. Powell as such. He had until recently as his assistants Capt. Edward Burr and Capt. Lansing H. Beach, but several days ago Captain Burr’ws ordered to relieve Capt. David Du B. Gaillard, in_ charge of the Washington aqueduct. Now, Captain Beach will, until a successor to Captain Black is appointed, be the only engineer officer on duty at the District building. It is believed by some that Captain Beach will be ordered to either assume the duties of Engineer Commissioner tet rarily, or will be appointed as Captain Black’s successor. Speaking of the matter to a Star reporter today, Captain Black explained that while he is very naturally delighted with his pro- motion, and with the prospect of going to the front, he having long since applied for duty there, he will sever his connection with the District government with great regret, his duties as Engineer Commissioner baving been most pleasant to him. Just where he will be ordered, Captain Black stated, he has no idea, but he presumed, of course, that he will be directed to report elsewhere as soon as he can arrange mat- ters at the District building. Captain Black also sald he has not the slightest idea as to who his successor will be. He paid both Captain Burr and Captain Beach the sot a of saying that they are officers of ty, and either would per- form the dui of Engineer Commissioner, should either be detailed as such, to the en- tire satisfaction of everyone, he believes. Captain Black explained, however, that he knows absolutely nothing as to whether the President will direct the appointment of a new Engineer Commissioner, or will direct that Captain Beach shall perform the duties of that office. In the expectation that he will be relieved in a few days, Captain Black is busily en- gaged in arranging to leave the District building, and it is understood that he will meantime consider only routine matters. Speaking of the retirement of Capt. Black as Engineer Con:missioner, Commis- sioner Wight said he regards Capt. Black’s departure as a great loss to the District. He stated that Capt. Black has demon- strated his abilities as an engineer officer and has done the District very great serv- ie2—for instance, in removing the difficul- ties which for so long stood in the way of an agreement between the District and the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohfo railroads in the matter of grade cross- ings. Capt. Black, said Mr. Wight, has also done very valuable work in the mat- ter of highways, and has at all times shown not only a deep interest in matters con- nected with his own departments, but also with those of the other departments of the District government. While the railroad and highway features are perhaps the most prominent of Capt. Black’s work, Mr. Wight said, he has instituted reforms in the building inspector's office no less important to the community and no less far reaching. It is generally conceded, thought Mr. Wight, by those who have in- vestigated the matter, that no better mu- nicipal buildings have ever been erected here than those built during Capt. Black's connection with the District government, for not only has the style of the architec- ture been much improved by the securing, through Capt. Black’s suggestion, of plans made by local architects, but the charac- ter of the work on the buildings has also been greatly improved. “Personally,” said Mr. Wight, “my offl- cial relations with Capt. Black have al- ways beea of the most pleasant character. I have found him very helpful in the Gis- charge of my duties, and while we have dif- fered, not always being able to agree on every project, yet our disagreements have always been honest and never unpleasant. I feel that his departure will be a great loss to the District, end I trust that when the war is over he will be returned to us to resume his duties as Engineer Commis- sioner.” Commissicner Ross said that Capt. Black has proven himself to be a most effiecient ofticer, and he has no doubt that in the duties he is about to assume he Will meet with great success. “We certainly wish the captain,” said Mr. Ross, “all success. He has our very warmest wishes.” ROE SELES Croker’s Horse Wins a Race.
