Over Two Thousand Colered People Being Fed by Charity —Result of Yellow Fever Epidemic. Judson Lyons, the register of the treas- ury, has received a letter from James Hill, the colored republican national committee- man of Missixsippi, and collector of inter- nal revenue for that state, telling briefly of the sufferings from the yellow fever, and appealing for aid for the colored peo- ple. Hill remains in Jackson, and is presi- dent of the local relief association. His letter is as follow “JACKSON, Miss., October P, 1898. “As you are aware, we have had yellow fever for the last month here in Jackson, and as a result of it nearly all of the bus ness houses have closed, and scarcely any work is being done. Nearly all the white people have left the city and a very few colored. We have at least four or five thousand cxlored people now in the city, and 2.50) or 3.000 of them have to be fed by: i charity. The city is strictly quarantined, and will allow no one to come in or go out, xcept those going out of the state. In ad- ition, we have a cordon thrown around about 1.500 colored people within the city limits. What litle work is going on in the city’they are not able to get to it on ac- count of the cordon mentioned above. I was clected president of the relief associa- | tion, and our association have been feeding, with the aid of Bishop Galloway, Col. Power and Col. Stewart of the Howard Association, the people for the last two or three weeks. We guve’out the last ration sterday. ‘There are a number of onic brothers inside the cordon, with their families, in a suffering condition, and are being fed by our relief committee. is condition of affairs will continue tn‘il we are blessed with a frost.

He would be glad to receive erous subscriptions from whites 2nd blacks. SSS ee = POWELL QUICKLY CAUGHT. Suspected Murderer Enjoys but a Brief Breath of Freedom. James Powell, colored, the aileged mur- derer of Patrick Lee, also colored, who, as stated in yesterday’s Star, escaped from the sixth precinct station yesterday after- noon, was recaptured last night about 10: s o'clock by Officer Ward of the fifth pr cinet near the home of one of Powell's relatives in Southeast Washington. The capture was the outcome of prompt action upon the part of Major Sylvester, superintendent of police, who immediately cer Powe ‘scape Was reported at head- ordered the officers of the eighth, th, fifth and th precincts to keep a sharp Isokout for Powell and to arrest him at all hazards. Information was received by Major Syl- vester that the fugitive, if he got the op- portunity to do so, would probably visit his aunt, Mrs. Grace Clark, No. 311 South Car. olina avenue, who, it is said, had promised to assist him in leaving the city. Mrs. Clark's ho’ was accordingly closely watched by Officer Ward, and at 10:40 o'clock Ward was rewarded by seeing Pow- ell come up the street. The escaped suspect had secured other clothing from that which he wore at the inquest. and this made the id-ntification > difficult, but Ward became convinced the right man was before him, and ok him into custody. Powell at first de- nied all knowledge of the crime, but in a litle while admitted his nam> was Powell. then taken to the fifth precinct station and locked up This morning the prisoner was taken to police headq s, where he was meas- ured according to th2 Bertillon system by Detective Gorman and subsequently photo- E r the rogue ler After being locked up at the fifth p station Powell was asked how he -d to escap? from the cell in the tation. In reply he said he just put vut his hand and pushed on the lock and it came off. After this happened h2 felt as though he wanted some fresh air, and after going back to the rear yart of th: yard of the station, where he found no avenue of escape, he returned to the main building, from which he went into the treet and was arg: until recaptured. «As to the route taken by him after getting out of the police station Powell would say nothing. It is understood, however, that after get- his ting out of the station Powell made way to the home of his uncle, James St art, on K street southeast, near Ut mere and Potomac railroad tunne ufter remaining there a short time went to the house of his aunt, Mrs. Clark. The lat- ter agreed to help him get out of the city and promised to raise him some money. Powell then left, intending to return later. ‘The detectives, however, learned these facts so quickly that it was impossible for Mrs. Clerk to put her plans in execution before Powell was again in the hands of the au- thorities, An examination of the lock of the cell cccupied by Powell before his escape de- veloped that it was very to open. De- spit this fact, it is the best form of a lock the police authorities have yet been able to secure. There is, however, at No. 1 station en arrangement, devised by Maj. Sylvester, which consists of a grating so placed that it is impossible for any person to reach the lock from the inside of the cell. It is in- tended ntually equip all the stations ape, and so fal sessed he is convirced there is rable. FOR RE! Special Appropriation to Be for by Commissioners. The District Commissioners will probably make a request to Congress in the near future for an appropriation of $1,000 for the work of cleaning, brightening and r-- storing th» portraits of former mayors, governors and judges of the District that have hung for years in the corridors and offices at the District building and in the court rooms at-the City Hall. These val- sable old pictures hav> become faded by t:me and exposure, and the Commissioners heve determined that steps shail be taken at once looking to their preservation. With this object in view, a request was recently made of Mr. S. H. Kauffmann, president of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, to recommend some competent persons to examine the oil portraits —belong- ing to the District and suggest the proper treatment for their restoration and pres*rvation. A reply has been re- ceived from Mr. Kauffmann, in which re states that the paintings in’ the Corcoran gallery are cleaned (when necessary) and cared fer generally by Dr. Barbarin, the curator, and so far as can be judged, as time passes, with entire success. “Mr. Kauffmann also suggests that Dr. Barbaria be ask-d to examine the canvases in ques- tion, as he woyld be able to give the Commissioners the address of some on upon whom reliance could be placed in the matter of putting the portraits in proper conditien.

In view of the fact that the re- pert had not reached Washington at the date of the publication, an inquiry was set on foot by the department to ascertain first whether the publications were accurate, ard, second, who was responsible for the discourtesy involved in the publication of an official report before it had reacaed the Navy Department. Commander Wainwright, the head of the beard, arrived in Washington yesterday mcrning, ani very promptly disclaimed any knowledge of the publication. He said that he had left instructions that the report was to be transmitted by the recorder, Licut. Capehart. to the commander of the North Atlantic station, Commodore Philip. The Report Denounced. ‘The commodore, in answer to an inquiry by the department, returned the following dispatch: BROOKLYN, N.Y., October 12, 1898. vy Department, Washington. “I saw repert of Wainwright board first time tonight.

Announcement to ‘Tradesman's Bank Directors. A committee of the direétors of the Tradesman's National Bank of New York, ing of William H.Weolverton, Ju- lius Kauffmann and David H. Bates, called Charles G. Dawes, ‘controller of the curreney, today in connection with the mat- iers of the Tradesman’s National Bank. rhe national bank examiner in charge of the bank has reported to the eontroller that the net amount due the depositors October 4, 1898, was $2,400,000, and he estimates that the short-time bills receivable of the con cons’ upon bank which will be patd’'at faturity, to- ether ith the nh_assets of the bank, amount to $2,200,610, leaving a balance of assets amounting to something over $1,- 600,000 with which to provide for the dif- ference of $208,300, ‘The examiner, having carefully gone over the assets, states that he believes a sum largely in excess of the apparent deficit can be realized from these assets. Under the circumstances the controller an- nounced to the committee that he would give them further time in which to make an effort to put the bank In a condition for voluntary liquidation. He stated that be- fore he consents to the voluntary liquida- tion of the bank it must be placed in such condition as to meet all its obligations upon demand. To that end some of the larger depositors of the bank have an- nounced their willingness to accept certifi- cates of deposit, payable at a later date, in order that this result may be reached. Jt was also made a condition by the con- treller that he should select from the di- rectors of the bank those members who should compose the liquidating committee, as he did not desire those officers of the institution through whose arbitrary action the wool exchange loans were taken to be connected with the liquidation. He an- nounced that he would give the commit- tee a reasonable time to bring their efforts to a conclusion, and that he would then send a representative from his office, who, with the New York examiner, would again praise the assets to enable him to give s final decision with the most complete information. NEW CASES OF DIPHTHERIA, Reports of the Disease Received day at Health Office. Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon seven new cases of diphtheria were reported at the health office. Eight new cases of scarlet fever were also reported up to the same hovr. Three of the latter cases were re- ported from ene house and two from an- other. This shows, the health officiais de- clare, that the contagion centers are not so widespread as might be imagined from the number of cases reported. Yesterday thirieen new cases of diph- theria were reported, as against five re- coverics and two deaths, leavirg a total of 126 cases in the city at that time in ninety-one houses. It is said that under the present regulations regarding con- tegious diseases no radical steps can be taken for stamping out diphtheria, and tre extent of its prevalence will be a matter of luck more than anything e!se. — AVENUE OUT OF REPAIR. To- Statement Made in Respect of Suburban Thoréughfare. The District Commissiontis Have received a letter from Mr. Stilson Hutéhins, stating that some years ago the Palisades of the Potomac Company expended ‘about $4,000 in the grading of Milwaukee ‘avenue from the Conduit road to the’ junction of the Little Falls road and Loughboro’ road. The opening of this avenue, th# writer declares, made a direct route from Tenleytown and Wesley Heights over the Loughboro’ road to the Conduit road, whicl’ waS very much required for the convenierite df the travel- ing public between and about ‘these locali- ties, and was used to quite a large extent. Within the last year or so the avenue, for want of repairs from time to time, has been so badly washed out thdt it'is now im- passable and cannot be “used! for travel. He concludes that, as taxes have been col- lected on the adjacent property at the in- eveased rate of 1% per cent; it is the duty of the District to put the avenue in good repair and to keep it so for the use of the general public, as well as for the benefit of the lots abutting thereon. Mr. atutchins requests that this expenditure be made by special appropriation for the page al use. The letter was referred to the computing engineer, Mr. Hunt, who reports to the Commissioners as follows: ‘The estimated .cost of improving Mil- waukee avenue from the Conduit road to the intersection of the Little Falls road in the subdivision of the Palisades of the Potomac, by laying cobble gutters and grading and graveling the roadway, is $4,500. I cannot appreciate why this street should be considered for this class of im- provement in the present physical condi- tion of other suburban thoroughfares whose improvement cannot be undertaken on ac- count of lack of funds.” Mr. Hutchins w:ll be advised of the con- tents of this report. | Deadly DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA Unpromising Outlook Even if Republican Majority Be Overcome. Divided on Silver and Territorisi Expansion—Position of the Populist The democrats have a very unpromising outlook to contemplate even if they should succeed in overcoming the republican ma- jcrity in the lower house of Congress. Even their possibility of success is viewed with no little apprehension, as it will evi- cently mean trouble for them. They are at variance with their allies in certain parts of the country and have differences among themselves which threaten to be- come irreconcilable whenever they get into a position where they are compelled to as- sume responsibilities. In the south the feel- ing between the democrats and popuiists is very bitter and the democrats are trying to drive the populists to the wall whenever they cannot absorb them into the demo- cratic party. Representative Bartlett of Georgia, in whose state the populists have been disastrously defeated by the demo- crats in the election of governor, says that the populist party in the south is going to pieces. His explanation of this is that the reason for the existence of (he populist party in the south was that the people there were dissatisfied with the domination under Cleveland of eastern ideas in the democratic party, and that-with the adop- tion of the Chicago platform of 1895 and the divorce of the gold element in the party, the southern populists began to re- turn to their old allegiance, the cemocracy. He says that as long as the democratic party adheres to the principles represente1 by Bryan the populist party will amount to very little in the south, but that it will become a factor again if the democrat show any signs of going back on the Chi- cogo platform. Position of the Populists. The populists, who insist upon maintain- ing their own organization, resent this en- croachment upon their preserve by the democrats, and there is no probability that any populists elected from the south will co-operate with the democrats in the next house. If there are enough of them, they will compel the populists elected from the west to act with them as an independent party, opposing the democrats as well as republicans, or else make a break in the populist party on sectional lines. The west ern populists, whatever their number may be in the next House, and silver republi- cans will insist as a condition of their sup- port and co-operation with the democrats that the free silver issue be kept squarely to the front, and that no compromise be made with the eastern democracy. With the prospect of there being an eastern democracy of some importance in the next House, this will present a very embarra ing situation in the democratic is evident that if the republicans lose the ext House it will be by a very few seats, and it is likely to take all the votes of democrats, populists d silver republicans to make a majority. This is a compound ficult to mix. The elected from which it will be very di democrats who happen Maryland, New Y: nia, New Jersey and Mas: will certain. operate in this combination to keep silver to the front, and the radical ver men will make no compromise with this castern contingent. . The cxisteace of several factions and a lack of harmoniou action will b ult. ‘The democr may try this situation by obscuring the silver iss nd making a new issue on questi & out of the war. On these y find themselves as hopelessiy divided. orly Will they alierate their silver by ebscuring th will fail of agre on new issues. Divided Not allies Iver question, but they ment among theras! Territorial ansion On the question of territorial expansion all the factions of the silver comiination are divided. Within the little coterie of silver republicans are found the most eara- est advocates on one hand and the most etermined opponents to it on the other. Within the democratic party the same con- dition It is believed that when these fa sare confronted with the necessity oing something she whole combiration will go to pieces. With the faint prospect of having conirol of the next House, they are already fighting bit- terly over the speakership. EF a majer y of their own party the democrats ing their at- ferences so as to elect a Speaker, and if there should be a composite major ot all that stands opposed to the republican party, it will be almcst impossible for the democrats to elect the Speake + e+. —____ WIFE PLEADS FOR DIVORCE. Story of Domestic Unhappiness Re- lated by Mrs. Carrie Van Antwerp. Proceedings for divorce were this after- noon instituted by Carrie Noah Van Ant- werp against J. Stanton Van Antwerp. ‘The case is of interest cwing to the prominenze of the parties to the suit, Mr. Van Antwerp being a well-known journalist of this ¢1 while his wife is a daughter of the tate Judge J. J. Noah. At the time of the mar- riage of the couple, July 2, 1892, Mrs. Van Antwerp was a widow, her name being Jameson. In addition to a divores she asks authority from the court te resume that rame. In her bill of complaint, filed through Attorney Clarence A. Brandenburg, Mrs. Van Antwerp seis forth that soon after the marriage her husband began a system ot Felly persecutions of her, which nnaily destroye her happiness and peace of mind, Last May, she says, he became unusually Violent, cursing her, accusing her of inti- detity, threatening her with physical vio- lence and ordering ber to leave their home. She left at the end of one weck. Mrs. Van Antwerp states her husband importun- ed her to return to him, admitting his charges against her were wholly without foundation and his conduct without justi- fication, and faithfully to mean himself properly thereafter.

In Engiand for centuries the canon prohibited remar- riege of a party te a divorce during the lifetime of the other party. At the conve- cation of Canterbury the sentiment was ‘n favor of permitting remarriage to the inuo- cent party to a divorce obtained on the ground of adultery.
