The police have recetyed notification of the escape of a desperate negro from the officers of the law at Fort Foote, Prince George's county, Md., after attempting to shoot Constable John Webster at that place, about seven miles south of Anacos- tia. As the fugitive is believed to be in hiding in this city a general notice to be on the lookout for him was sent to the various stations.

The announcement of the death of Mr. William R. Tappan, which occurred last night at the residence of his father, Mr. M. A. Tappan, No. 1307 Q street, will cause dcep sorrow among the very large number of friends who liked him so cordially. Mr. Tappan was in his twenty-seventh year and enjoyed a wide popularity because of his bright disposition and genial qualities. He was a man of powerful physique and active in athletics, but from exposure three or four years ago he contracted consump- tion. He went to Arizona in the latter part of 1896, to get the advantage of its climate, and at first improved. His malady was too deep-rooted, however, and a few days ago he wes brought home. le was sitting up conversing with his father yes- terday evening when he suddenly gave a ore and sank back In his chair and ex- fred.

He stated that after leaving the hotel his soldier acquaintance returned and got his haversack. Policeman Mellen made an arrest on suspicion, but the soldier whom he arrested was not the one sus- pected. HOKSE RUNS AWAY, Occupants of Ventele Injured and Plate Glass Broken. ‘There was ah extiting runaway accident last night between 7 and 8 o‘clock near the corner of Connecticut avenue and L street northwest, in which Jamse H. Morrow, the well-known horseman, who lives at Bright- wood, and Mrs. Kane, who lives on 14th street near the scene of the accident, were injured.

Two little children, Harris and Ellen Brown, on their way from Jersey City to Richmond, failed to get on the Richmond train at the depot in this city last night and had to remain here until an early hour this morning. The children had spent sey- eral weeks in Jersey City and were put on a train in charge of the conductor, to re- turn home. The failure of the train from the north to make a close connection with the Richmond train used a delay. Mr. Harris, father of the children, telegraphed nm the little ones failed to reach the appointed time.

Wright learned this morning that the price of a drink is the same in Georgetown as it is €: of Rock creek. Branch is a printer by trade, but his appe- tite for strong drink greatly interferés with his work. Yesterday, he said, he was on a “little bender,” and last night he went over in Virginia, where there is not much trouble experienced in getting Sunday Grinks. Early this morning he returned from the other side of the river with only two cents in his pocket. “Say, colonel,” he said to the bar- tender in an M street saloon, “let me have a drink fer these,” exhibiting his two cents. He was promptly told that no reduction was made for cash, and when he got out cn the street he invited a number of col- ored men to treat him. Each man declined his invitation, and finally he asked a news- boy for three cents. Policeman Cornwell arrested Branch and charged him with vagrancy.

Byron Sendsithe’Names of the Injured in Ports Rico. Porto Ricans Throwing Up Their Hats for the UnitedsStates — Will Make Good Citizens. First Lieutenant J. C. Byron of the Sth United States Cavalry, in a letter to The Evening Star, dated August 13, and writ- ten from the hospital at Mayguez, Porto Rico, says: “I send you the names of the wounded in the hospital here who were hit in the fight at Hermaguerro, outside of Mayguez, Au- gust 10. We are all doing well and no one is liable to die or loge any limbs. “In the same hospital are the Spanish wounded, and next to me is a first Heuten- ant of the Spanish army. He is a very bright, entertaining young fellow, and we have become good friends. The hospital is run by the Red Cross Society, which is so well organized in Porto Rico that in every town is a hosvital where soldiers wounded or sick of either side may find asylum. “The people throughout the island are throwing up their hats for the United States, and outside of the Spanish army of occupation there are no enemies here. The country is very fertile and will produce anything. It is welt-watered and grows all Kinds of tropical fruits. It is cooler here than in Washington, and we feel no incon- venience at all from the climate. The Porto Ricans are a good people and will prove good citizens of the United States.

William Yancey's Fatal Leap From Second-Story Window. William Yan colored, about thirty years old, jumped from the second-story window of his home, at No. 2125 G street northwest, about 2 o'clock yesterday morn- ing and fractured his skull. He also re- ceived other severe injuries, from the et- fects of which he died yesterday afternoon at the Emergency Hospital. Yancey was employed as a helper about the market and was always regarded as an industrious and hard-working man. He would get under the influence of liquor oc- casionally, however, and Saturday night was one of the occasions. About 2 o'ciock in the morning his wife found him seated on the window sill, and she advised him to go to bed. Instead of taking her advice he jumped out of the window and received the injuries stated. The police patrol wagon was summoned and the dying man was taken to the Emer- gency Hospital. Acting Coroner Glaze- brook investigated the case and gave a certificate of death by violence. —— Burglar Frightened Away. Some time last night between 9 and 12 o'clock the cutlery store of D. N. Walford, at No. 909 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, was visited by a burglar, but he was frightened off before he could secure an: thing. Mr. Walford has been robbed sev- eral times, and on each occasion the burg- lars made a good haul. Since the last big robbery was committed he has made an effort to protect himself by the arrange- ment of burglar alarms. Last night an entrance was effected by climbing to the roof of the rear building and cutting a pane of glass from the skylight. When the burglar reached the store, however, the alarm was sounded and he Made a hasty retreat. ——-_->__ Jail for Sixty Days.

Fowler of Anacostia, erzated no end of excitement on Harrisen street in that town Saturday. The herd to which the animal belonged was turned into the inclosure of Liveryman B. F. Jay, on Harrison street, for a time. Preparations were made Saturday to lead the stzer to the slaughter, but the brute became un- ménageable. After considerable maneuver- ing on the part of half a dozen or mor» men, four heavy ropes were finally attach- ed to the savage brute, one being secured to the nose ring, one tied about th> horns, another being fastensd to one of the front legs, while the fourth was attached to a surcingle around the body. ight men managed the ropes, and mor2 were to be procured to help, when the steer suddenly started to run, leaving the yard on the jump, with angry bellows and horns plough- ing up the ground. His appearance on the strest caused a rush for cover by pedes- trians. He dashed up the south side of the street close to the sidewalk, the eight strong men tugging at the ropes without effect. The animai attempt2d to run inside the station house, but the door was closed upon him in the nick of time, and he turn- ed his attention to the blacksmith shop next door. He dashed inside and the men of th forge suddenly recalled that they bad business elsewhere. The steer sealed his fate, however, v.hen he entered the shop, for ther2 was a large telegraph pole near by, and around this the ropes attach2d to the beast were wound and he was thus held fest. He then turned upon his captors, all the while filling the air with his enraged bellowing. At this jencture the ring in the beast’s nose was jerked out by his struggles, and bui three rep2s were left to hold him fast. He was thrown to the ground finally, seme cue placing a rope about one of his hind feet. Afterward, about forty men and boys as- sisted In getting him back into the in- closure. ———— FOR THROWL THE BONES. Four Young Men Arraigned and Pan- ished for Crap Shooting. A Sunday game of crap beneath a tree in the Monument grounds resulted in the arrest of four young colored men, John Williams, Charles Harmon, Frank Barnes and Frederick Thorapson. Three of them were participating in the game, while the fourth was on watch for the police. Po- licemen Simpson and Schuyler of the first precinct bicycle squad appeared so sudden- ly that the gamblers were unable to get away “I wasn't in the game,” one of the pris- oners said, when called upon in court this morning He caused some merriment by answering, “I work for a chicken huckster,”’ t Prosecuting Attorney Richardson question- ed him. “I wor't ask him from where he gets the chickens,” added the prosecuting attorney. ge, your honor,” said another de- fendant, “I wasn’t in the game, ‘cause I don’t know these other fellows.” “Why don’t you know them?” “Because I belong over in Jackson City, and work in ibe brick yards.” A third member of the quartet declared that he was the only innocent one in the party. A similar declaration was made by the last one called upon for an explana- tion."” The court held the defendants guilty, and assessed a penalty of $10 or thirty days on the farm in each ca. > A small deposit will secure Carpets and Furniture for later delivery at Hoeke’s Clearing Sale prices.—Advt. SS Excise Board’s Action Discussed. To the Editor of The ing Star: In a letter to you, published in Tuesday's Star, a certain gentleman undertakes to de- fend the excise board. I admit that the gen- tlemen of the excise board must be honor- able men, or els? our Commissioners would not have them there. The gentlemen of the Anti-Saloon League are equally as honor- able, and would rot knowingly mak2 untrue statements regarding our excise board. At the regular time for issuing liquor licenses for the present year a certain sa- leon keeper's license was withheld by the excise board until protests against him could be investigated. A majority of the nts in his vicinity had protested. The of trustees of the public schools had entered its protest, as the salcon is within two hundred feet of a school building. On the day of the investigation some of the residents and property owners went with me before the excis2 board, and tuere we verbally emphasized our protest. We told them that the saloon in question was one of the most infamous in the city, is on the opposite cornzr from a school hou and is one of those places to which not only men, but women, parade continuously from the near-by alleys with their pitchers and bucke That saloon is still open. Why the license was granted I do not know. I as under the impression that a protest from the majority of residents on the square could close up a saloon, but this did not work in the case referred to. I could not keep this fact in mind and allow the league to be branded as being guilty of making an unjust attack upon our 2xcise board. In the name of justice I ask you to pub- lish the above.

Sadie Herzog, wife of a soldier, was out with some male friends Saturday night, and there was so mvch noise made on I street southwest by them that Sadie was arrest2d by Policeman Lake for being drunk and disorderly. “I wasn’t drank,” said the little woman in court this morning. : “What was the trouble?” Judge Taylor asked her. “I was only sid®” was her regponse.

Mt LAST GAMES UNTIL SEPTEMBER 8. ‘ Gunners Frightened From the Marshes Story in Saturday's Star. Alexandria Police Searching for a Fugitive — Improvements to Ana- costia Engine House — Notes. During the latter part of last week the guns of pot hunters cracked many times between daylight and the hour of 9 o'clock, as they knocked down Birds in the marshes of the Eastern branch, around Twining City and Anacostia. Under pretense of shooting black birds these hunters were, it 1s believed, knocking over many reed birds and ortolan. All this was changed this morning. Not a shot was heard across the water, The gunners were doubtless fright- ened off by what appeared in The Star of Saturday on this subject. One of the members of the Alexandria police force was in Anacostia Saturday af- ternoon, endeavoring to locate Charles, alias Buck, Shafer of Alexandria, who is wanted there for holding up a policeman at the point of a shotgun and then escap- ing in a rowboat. It was surmised that he hac come to this vicinity, where he has a relative named Jacobs, living near the Eastern branch shore, southwest of Ana- costia, The idea was found to be correct, but as Jacobs is serving a term Iy the Dis- trict jail for keeping a disorderly house, Shafer did not tarry. It is learned that he left this section and took to his boat again. Improvements Under Way. Mr. O. S. Pumphrey is having some im- provements made on the property he owns at the northeast corner of Monroe and Jef- ferson streets. The old double house build- ing, facing on Mcnroe street, et this corner is to be removed to the rear and given a fronting on Jefferson strest. In place of this structuie there will be erected two neat two-story frame dwellings, with modern improvements. Work has been begu! Improvements that will add muca to the general appearance of the home of fire en- gine company No. 15 heve been started. The drainage tem of the basement was recently perfected. The outside work now going on consists of waliing about the rear yard and making ready for the concrete which will be used there. A couple of neat iron fences are to be erected where needed, It is planned, also, to cut a doorway through the hose tower on the east side of the building. This will be a great conven- ienc2, it is said. Result of a Runaway. John Keldenback, a resident of Twining City, 1s under the care of a physician as the result of his horse becoming frightened at the freight cars and running away. Keldenback’s buggy was overturned, he was thrown out, his left shoulder dislocated and his head severely cut. Personal Mention, Mr. Lucius Cross is spending tion at Piney Point.
