Hannah Vessel, a colored domestic who was employed at the house of Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnson, No. 1739 I street northwest, was found dead in her room in her em- ployer's house about 6:40 o'clock this morn- ing. Her death resulted from inhaling I- luminating gas. There was a small gas stove in the room, and the key to the pipe attached to it was open. The odor of the gas attracted the attention of the occu- pants of the house to the room, and the woman's condition was discovered. Physicians were summoned, and they pronounced her dead, and Coroner Carr was notified. He concluded that the wo- man’s death was the result of an accident and gave a certificate accordingly. The deceased was forty-five years old and lived at No. 1142 6th street northeast. — Retracts and Gets Six Months. Andrew Gonzales, colored, who was ar- rested several days ago on a charge of having stolen a bootblack outfit from Jas. Lucas, was arraigned in Judge Kimball's court this morning for sentence. When he was on the witness stand yesterday and made a denial the judge told him his story was an improbable one, and he was given an opportunity to retract. He refused to do so at the time, but this morning he ad- mitted he had told an untruth. Judge Kimball told lim he ought to be held on a charge of perjury. Such a charge was not entered, however, and the defend- ant was given six months 'on the charge of theft. SPECIAL NOTICES. GOODS STORED IN THE NAME OF I H. SyY- ex, G. H.

The advertised trustee's sale of the Cap- ital railway took place at public auction yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock in front of the power house of the road in Anacostia, and it was announced the tracks, roadbed, rolling stock, franchises, plant, etc., were to be disposed of. Mr. James Lackey, con- nected with the Washington Traction and Electric Company, was stated to be the purchaser at $41,000. There was a number of legal gentlemen ir, the gathering, but there was no bidder with the exception of Mr. Lackey. The sale was made, it was stated, at the request of the bondholders holding a majority of all the bonds issued and out- standing and secured by the terms of a deed of trust, default in the payment of the semi-annual interest thereon having been made. The Washington Traction Company, ac- cording to the general understanding, has had under its control for some months the Capital railway line, so no change in the manner of operating the Capital railway is expected. The line was chartered five years ago to operate between the navy yard and Congress Heights, but a small part of the road in the southeast is not now In use. ——__. Fence Should Be Retained. Mr. J. M. Burrell, secretary of the Alle- gheny Company, 813 11th street, has been informed by the District Commissioners relative to the fence about that portion of the ground adjacent to James Creek canal at present occupied by the company, that they consider it necessary that the fence shall be retained. The company, it is stated, finds it impossible tomaintainafence because of vandals in the vicinity, but the Commissioners state that unless the com- pany complies with the terms of the lease by the 15th Instant, requiring the mainte- mance of the fence, they will take steps to enforce compliance. —_>—__. lana eee puerinee pa grea has re- elect .

We have found out the difference between “Spyin Cop” and a Spion Kop, because the latter is Dutch, and means “a Spy's head." When you talk about a Kopje it means tle head"; so when you have a fi who is kind of and you cannot tell him that he has ‘‘a great head,” tell him that he has a “‘Kopje.” Kruger means “‘tayernskeeper,”” so the British will probably “put up” with him when they get to Pretoria. If you hear About the Transvaal you will know that it comes from two words— Trans, across; Vaal, referring to the river, Meaning across the River Vaal; but Vaal means “It 1e well," and that was what the Boers said when they first trekked across the river, mean- ing, “It is well; we will go no farther." We will net go any farther in our Dutch lesson, as we have already got farther than the British will get for some time to come, and call your atten- tion to the Bull movement tn Stocks, Corn and Cotton.

BURNED TO DEATH SHOCKING FATE OF YOUNG MASON MARSTELLER, A CRIPPLE. Suffered Excruciating Agony for Hours Before He Passed Away —The Sad Details. Mason Marsteller, the twenty-four-year- old son of Dr. E. H. Marsteller, died at 6:30 o'clock Jast night at the residence of his cousin, Mrs. M. A. Marsteller, No. 309 G street northwest, from the effects of burns accidentally received about 11 o'clock yes- terday morning. He suffered excruciating agony, but did not lose consciousness until a few minutes before his death. The unfortunate young man was a cripple and boarded with his cousin. Last week he was visited by his parents, who reside in Phiiadelphia, Dr. Marsteller being on duty there on the receiving ship Richmond as surgeon. The latter departed Saturday, and Mrs. Marsteller left her son yesterday morning to rejoin her husband. Bade His Mother Good-Bye. ‘Young Marsteller stood at the front door to see his mother leave and bid her good- bye, and then went upstairs. His cousin, who was the only other person in the house, went to the basement. While there she heard screams, but thought they came from some one in the alley in the rear of the premises. In a short time, however, she realized that the cries came from the upper portion of her own home, and rush- ing upstairs, she was horrified to find the young man struggling on the floor of the hall just outside the bathroom, on the sec- ond floor, with his clothing in flames. She managed to subdue them and then ran for assistance. The sufferer was carried to his room, and Dr. G. P. Bailey was summoned, and he in turn called in Dr. W. P. Carr. The injuries were necessarily fatal, and terminated, as stated, at the hour named. Mr. Marsteller told his cousin that he had struck a match, and a piece of it had, he supposed, lighted on his clothing. He was in his shirt sleeves, and before he was aware of his danger his garments were in flames. Dr. and Mrs. Marsteller, who were sum- moned from Philadelphia, reached the bed- side of their boy after he had become un- conscious and a few minutes before he died. —— ee INDICTMENTS RETURNED. Grand Jury Makes Report to Court and is Discharged. Indictments have been reported by the grand jury as follows: Olof Pallesen, murder of Julia Henges- bach. Olof Pallesen, murder of Josephine Pal- lesen. Liston D. Bass, violation of postal laws; !Willlam Newman, second offense petit lar- ceny; Edward J.

Sheed, embez- zlement and larceny while an employe of the Army and Navy Club, and Jay G. Hol- land, alleged libeling of Senator Taliaferro. The grand jury has ignored a charge of attempted arson against Andrew Ferguson. After submitting the foregoing report the grand jury for the January term was finally discharged, with the thanks of the court. —— VISITS SON'S GRAVE. Mr. Pettit Could Learn Nothing Con- cerning Murder of His Boy. George W. Pettit, whose son, Darrell M. Pettit, was recently murdered in South Carolina, has returned home from a visit to the place where his son last resided. ‘The unfortunate young man was employed by a grading company, and some time during the winter, it is said, he was killed by a colored man. The crime was com- mitted between Cheraw and Chesterfield, and the body was buried by the workmen. Mr. Pettit found his son's grave, but got no satisfaction about the manner in which he met hfs death. The murderer was not captured. It is Mr. Pettit's in- tention to bring the body of his son here for burial. —->——_. ADDITIONAL REASONS. Committee of Citizens Files Argument Concerning Columbia Road. M E. B, Townsend, Louis P. Shoe- maker, James W. Somerville, C. B. Tanner, David Cranmer, Bernard P. Mimmack, Walter H. Weed and A. M. McLachlen to- day presented to the District Commission- ers, through Captain Beach, the Engineer Commissioner, additional reasons why, in their opinion, the width of Columbia road between 16th and 18th streets should be es- tablished at not less than 100 feet. At the outset they submitted that public Interests and policy demand the proposed widening and would be subserved thereby Being of this proposed width west of street, they believe it ought not to he re- duced to a lesser width east of that str contending that to reduce it would militate against the property between 16th and 18th streets, and impose upon this section of the road the character and status of # second or a@ third-rate street between the two. It is pointed out that section 1 of the original plan of highway extension pro- vided for a width of 100 feet, and so emph sized the views of the Commissioners and the wishes of the people to this effect. By reason of the thoroughfare's commanding position, it is-further contended, ft is and must continue to be the great artery of travel from southwest to northeast, both for businéss and pleasure, from George- town and the section of the city lying west of 16th street. It is believed that no other thoroughfare can be substituted for Co- lumbia road or made to parallel it or afford anything like adequate means of communt- cation between the sections referred to. Another contention made on behalf of the proposition for widening Columbia road 2s proposed Is that it is the main one between the residential portion of the city and the Soldiers’ Home, the national park along Rock creek, Washington Heights, Colum- bia Heights, Mount Pleasant and the ad- jacent suburbs. The imperative need of Ingleside, Mount Pleasant and Dennison and Leighton’s subdivisions for modern transit renders it necessary, it is claimed, that Co- lumbia road shall be utilized for the pur- pose, and it is contended that this is an additional reason why its width should be not less than 100 feet. a: ——— Union Veterans’ Union.
