Abraham Fadeley, aged fifty years, and employed in the United States internal rev- enue bureau, died at the Emergency Hosp!- 1 at 11 o'clock today from the effects of if-inflicted wounds in the throat, made with a razor, shortly before 5 o'clock this morning. ted The desperate act was commit- the rear second-story room of No. 7 H street northwest, which Fadeley oc- cupied. He was discovered by C. P. Ken- drick, another roomer in the- house, who gave the alarm. Dr. Sothoron was sum- moned and aitended Fadeley until Officers Boland and Murphy of the third precinet procured the patrol wagon and removed him to the hospital.

Sufferer From Nervousness. Notwithstanding he was large and appar- cotly healthy, weighing 220 pounds, he bad been under treatment a long time for ner- vousness. He had been compelled to remain away from his work several weeks on this account, and there was great sympathy for him among those who knew of his condi- tion. One of the employes of the same bureau who talked with Fadeley Tuesday night said he complained of inability to sieep. A physician had several times given him morphine by injection, but Fadeley was unable to sleep even after this. He was depressed and in icw spirits as to his health, but made no threats of an intention te commit suicide. He did not like to be aione in his boarding house and sought company, evidently fearing he would be unable to control himself. It is stated at the treasury that nothing : to cause Fadeley to commit i alth and nervous con- a number of years and his children were living and doing w men age wel When Fadeley signed the pay roll the 15th of April his chief noticed that his writing differed from what it was at other times and gave evidence of extreme nervousness upon his part. —_—_>—__ OUR NEW MEMBERS. ixhed Additions to the al Aendemy of Sciences.

Seen a net For the Christ Child Society. ‘The recital at the Columbia Theater yes- terday afternoon for the benefit of the Christ Child Society was well attended and the audience gave every evidence of satis- faction. The first part of the program was made up of solos and trios by the Misses Kieckhoefer, who proved themselves ac- complished musicians on the piano, violon- cello and violin. Then there was a recita- tion of scenes from Ibsen's drama, “Peer Gynt,” by Miss Marte Collins, accompanied lections from the “Peer Gynt" suite irieg, performed by the Misses Kieck- hoefer. Miss Collins displayed fine dra- matic ability in her work and was warmly applauded after each scene. The recital was given under the auspices of the fol- lowing patronesses: Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston, Mrs. McComas, Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Edward Douglas White, Mrs. McKenna, Mrs. Andrew C.

An elderly colored man, who gave his name as Christopher Columbus and said he was from Huntsville, Ala., was found dead in bed at the McKinley House, on Missouriavenue, yesterday afternoon. Death resulted from inhaling {lluminating gas. The unfortunate man reached here late Tuesday from Huntsville, and about 12 o'clock retired, at which time, it is thought, he blew out the gas instead of turning it off. About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon the odor of gas was detected, and when the room door was forced open it was found that Columbus was dead. Coroner Carr concluded that his death was accidental and gave a certificate ac- cordingly. The body was taken to the morgue, where it will be held until the dead man’s friends are heard from. —$<——— ae Admiral Schley at Para.

After the ceremony a reception followed, and later the couple left for a short trip: On their return they will begin house- keeping at Rockville, where Mr. Lillard is engaged in business. One of the most interesting events of this Easter tide at Falls Church, Va., was the marriage of Miss Edith Octavia, only daughter of Mr. G. A. L. Merrifield, and the Rev. Arsene B. Schmavonian Tuesday evening, April 17, at the First Congrega- uional Church of Falls Church, Va., of which church the groom is pastor, ‘The bride, gowned in white organdie, with veil fastened with orange blossoms, entered the church with her father, and was met at the altar by the groom and ‘his best man, Dr. Avedissyan of Boston. The brides- maids, Miss Julia Patterson of Washing- ton and Miss Margaret Nourse of Falls Church, were attired in white organdie over pink and carried pink carnations. Miss Nellie McCardle of Hagerstown, Md., attended the bride as maid of honor, and wore white organdie and carried white car- nations. The ushers were Messrs. Carl Kinsley, William R. Eastman, E. F. Rore- beck and Charles Parker, all of Falls Church. Miss Loulse Witherow of Wash- ington presided at the organ, rendering the wedding march from “Lohengrin” as the bridal party entered the church. The cere- mony was performed by the Rey. Stephen M. Newman, D.D., pastor of the First Con- gregational Church of Washington, assisted by the Rev. B. W. Pond, also of Washing- ton. The church was profusely decorated with palms, ferns and flowers, under the artistic supervision of Captain A. P. East- man. Immediately following the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride's father, which was largely attended by relatives and friends. Among the out- of-town guests were Mrs. Eugene Clapp, Mrs. Wallingford, Mr. and Mrs. G. Irving Gilereas and Dr. Avedissyan of Boston.

Capt. G. W. Van Deusen, 7th Artillery, has been ordered to this city for duty at the headquarters of the on a HIS RESIDENCE. Judge Scott Says He in a Citizen of the District. In local consideration of the appoint- ments to be made by the President of District Commissioners there has been much talk in the last day or so of the eligibility of Judge Charles Ff. Scott, even if he should be selected by the President. It is claimed that one of the candidates for the office has circulated the charge that Judge Scott {s a resident of Maryland, and in support of the assertion points to the city directory, which gives Judge Scott's residence as Kensington. The Star has re- ceived many inquirtes as to Judge Scott's residence, one writer saying, “If I am not mistaken, Judge Scott registered and voted at Wheaton, Md.” Inquiry of the election officials of Mont- gomery county brings out the fact that Judge Scott has never registered or voted in that county. 5 Today a Star reporter asked Judge Scott as to his residence in Maryland, and this is what the judge had to say: “I have just been advised that some per- son or persons have recently reported that I am a citizen of Maryland, and therefore ineligible to the office of Commissioner of the District of Columbia, under section 19, chapter 19, of the compiled statutes in force in this District, which reads as follows: ‘The two persons (Commissioners) appoint- ed from civil life shall at the time of their appointment be citizens of the United States and shall have been actual residents of the District of Columbia for three years next before their appointment, and have during vet period claimed residence nowhere else," “I am glad to say that I can fulfill every requirement of the above named section, having been an actual resident of this Dis- trict many more than three years, holding three commissions to District offices, and have not claimed'in any manner or at any time or exercised citizenship in the state of Maryland. Upon the“advice of her physi- cian my wife secured @ cottage at Kensing- ton, Md., some time since, where we stay during the hot months of summer. “I have no knowledge of how my address was put as Kensington in the city direc- tory.” fi ——_-—— PLANS OF THE PYTHIANS. Trip to Baltimore o i A special committee from Justus H. Rath- bone Lodge, Knights of Pythias, held a meeting at Congressional Hotel yesterday afternoon, shortly after 4 o'clock. The chancellor commander, Will W. Duffield, was present and presidéd. The other mem- bers attending were the master of finance, D. N. Hoover; and Messrs. J. M. Griffin, E. F. Campbell, J. M. Williams, Lynn A. Troutman, and the vice grand chancellor, E. E. Glascock. ~ The committee had under consideration the contemplated visit of the local Knights of Pythias to Stueben Lodge, No. 87, of Baltimore, next Friday night. The committee decided to send a delega- tion over to Baltimore early Friday morn- ing, with all of the properties and robes.

The attention of Senator Allison, chair- man of the Senate committee on appro- priations, was today invited by the Dis- trict Commissioners to the fact that if the clause relating to the District public schools in the pending District appropriation act, as it passed the Senate, should become law, there would be taken away from’ the Commissioners all power to modify the annual estimates for school purposes, a3 submitted by the board of trustees pro- posed by the clause. It would, the Com- missioners state, add to the fixed charges, consisting now of the appropriation for the sinking fund, estimated for by the treas- urer of the United States, and the appro- priation for the militia, which the Com- missioners are required by law to submit to Congress, as estimated for by the com- manding general, the large amount re- quired for the public school system. It seems to the Commissioners that the power to revise such estimates should be in their control, as otherwise the trustees to be appointed under the provisions of the act as it passed the Senate might estimate for euch a proportion of the District reve- nues as to seriously cripple and embar- rass the administration of District affairs. ‘The Commissioners, therefore, suggested to Senator Allison that on page 32, line 2, of the bill as it passed the Senate, the words “estimates for and” be inserted be- fore the word “expenditures,” and that lines 1 to 6, both inclusive, on page 33 of the bill be omitted, said lines recommended to be omitted being as follows: ‘“The board shall annually transmit to the Commis- sioners of the District of Columbia an es- timate in detail of the amount of money required for the public schools for the en- suing year, and said Commissioners shall include the same in their annual estimate of appropriations for the District of Colum- t seems apparent,” state the Commis- sioners, ‘to the present board of Commis- sioners that any other board hereafter ap- Pointed would give due weight to the rec- ommendations of any board of trustees concerning that most important feature of the District government known as the pub- lic school system, and that with all of the many demands upon the public revenues, which are growing year by year, it should not be made impossible for the Commis- stoners and Congress to propert¥ recognize other features of municipal work and ex- —— which may require their atten- tion.” ——__ Repairs to the Boston. The board of survey in the case of the United States ship Boston has reported to the Navy Department that the ship ean be repaired at a cost of $17 or one-half of the original estimate, Teen the work has been ordered done at the Mare Isl: yard. —— + A Cavalryman Murdered.
