The House committee on pensions has re- ported favorably a bill providing that the widow of a soldier, who remarries and thereby loses her right to a pension, may, if she again becomes a widow, be restored to the pension rolls. The report of the committee, drawn by Mr. Miers of Indiana, says: “The bill proposes that the Secretary of the Interior, in the event of a remarried widow, if she were the wife of a Union soldier during the rebellion, shall again be- come a widow, she shall be restored to the pension rights she had as the widow of said soldier at the time of her remarriage, and directs the Secretary of the Interior to place her name on the pension roll at the = rate she was receiving at the time of he AND PARK. said remarriage. aE aul res of the oS opinion this would be an act of justice. t's he- ain elegance of ap- Head and Olive See Olives.

A War Article by Rudyard Kipling and a New Serial Story. The Saturday Star this week will be an unusually interesting and readable paper, for it will contain, among other features, two articles of more than ordinary value, a war article by Rudyard Kipling and the first installment of a new serial story. Rudyard Kipling, who spent some time in South Africa, sends a most graphic and picturesque account of what he saw while traveling on “Number 3,” a hospital train, on its trip 000 miles north from Cape Town after sick and wounded British soldiers. This 1s the first of three articles from the pen of the famous writer that will appear in the columns of The Star. The others will be published next Monday and Tues- day. The new serial story which will be printed in ten installments in The Star is entitled, “The Path Beyond the Levee,” and is by F. A. Cummings. It recounts the thrilling adventures of two daring and ingenious young men in alding the escape of fugitive slaves, and the romantic motive which led them into such a perilous undert&king. Mr. Cummings himself had a most adventurous career in all quarters of the globe, and this, his first and only story, for he died last December, will be read with the closest interest by thousands. Others features of note in The Saturday Star are as follows: TALK WITH GEN. OTIS (illustrated).

Probable Construction of Electric Line to Fairfax C. H. A suburban rallrcad project is being worked out which, it is expected, when all the plans are realized, will result in the building of an electric road from the Vir- ginia end of the Aqueduct bridge through Virginia toward the north, following the banks of the Potomac, although at some distance from the shore line, to the Great Falls. At Lewinsville it is proposed to Luild a line that will extend to Fairfax Court House, passing through Vienna and other towns on the Southern railroad. It is thought by the projectors of the en- terprise, if authority can be obtained to run the cars across the bridge, that the terminus of their line will be the union sta- tion of the Capital Traction road. From the fact that moving spirits in this enter- prise were interested in the Metropolitan and Columbia railroads, and that after the sale of those properties they invested in the stock of the Capital Traction Company, the conclusion is reached in some quarters that the new road is intended to be a new suburban feeder for the Traction road. At present the right of way is being secured for a portion of the way from the bridge to Great Falls, that to Fairfax Court House having already been obtained. The surveys have been made, and it may be the work of building the road will begin during tne present year, MICHAEL HURNEY RELEASED. par Rockville Authorities Fail to Make Case Against Him. } Michael J. Hurney,, the Georgetown bar- tender who was arrested Wednesday night on a charge of being reSfonsible for the death of Albert Aloysius Johnson, the man assaulted at Cabin John bridge Sunday night, was released from custody this morning. As published in, The Star yester- day, there was no evidence given at the inquest to connect Hurney: with the killing of Johnson. The arrest was made on @ magistrate’s warrant, sworn out in Reck- ville by Sheriff Williams, charging murder. The Montgomery county authorities prom- ised to bring a requisition here for Hurney. It was expected the requisition would be received yesterday, and when it failed to come the local police anticipated its arrival today. This morning State's Attorney Tal- bott at Rockville called up police head- quarters and had a talk with Inspector Boardman. He told the inspector that the county authorities had not obtained suf- ficient evidence upon which to ask for a requisition. In conclusion, he said Hurney was not wanteil, and suggested that the prisoner be released, and this action was taken. Before going home Hurney called at po- Mee headquarters with several oth and saw Inspector Boardman. His friends are indignant over the action of the Maryland authorities and the local police in arresting him. It is stated that when the warrant was sworn out for Hurney all that the authorities had heard was what purported to be conversations that had occurred in a bar room. The arrest, it is claimed, was iNegal, and should not have been made on a magistrate’s warrant issued in another jurisdiction. Inspector Boardman has not yet aban- doned the investigation of the case, al- though the crime was committed in Mary- Jand. Today Detectives Peck and Hern- don were sent to Cabin John bridge to con- tinue the inquiry. The man who keeps the peanut stand near the bridge there stated at the inquest that his son witnessed the fatal assault and could identify the assail- ant. The boy will be interviewed. Others who were at the bridge Sunday have been seen by the officer, but none of them was able to give any information that was par- ticularly valuable. The funeral of the victim took place this morning from St. Aloysius’ Church. The interment was at Mount Olivet cemetery. > —_>—_ THE COURTS, Equity Court No. 2.—Justice Hagner. Sypher agt.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Section $48 of the proposed District code (House bill No. 9835) provides severe pen- alties for malicious injury to “movable property.” This section would have cov- ered the notorious dress-cutting case so successfully investigated by The Star. Section S47 refers to injuries to trees and other products of land; also to severing “any other thing attached” to the land. The code does not seem to provide any for malicious injury to fence and other fixtures on real estate, un- less the offender “seyers from the land” the “thing attached.’ J i¢ The necessary cortection could be easily made by striking out the word “movable in section 848, so as to punish malicious in- jury to all property, whether movable or not . It Js true that an ‘act of July 29, 1892, provides light penalties for certain minor in- juries to fences, walis, &c. It is also true that under section 1636 of the code said uct of July 29, 1892, would probably be held not to be repealed by the adoption of the code. But it seems best to makeithe law plainer, and also more comprehensiye, by a simple amendment to the code, it-being impossible to say in advance how the different statutes on the same subject, would, be construed by the courts, ‘ : I say this with all due,respect to the courts. I do not agree with the High School student who said In the recent ex- amination that “the "juditial is the disobey- ers of the law.” But’if every one could tell how the laws would be construed there would be little use for lawyers.

Big Gathering Here in May — Avenue Illumination, Fireworks and Parades—Other Features. ‘Washington will be decked in gala attire when the sessions of the Imperial Council of the Order of the Mystic Shrine are being held here May 22 and 23. - The Shriners in the District, who number over 800, and In- clude scor2s of the representative business and professional men in the city, are ar- ranging to appropriately decorate their own premises, and are influencing their friends and neighbors to do the same, so it is pret- ty well assur2d that this feature of the great gathering will be notable. Proposals have been invited from three of the largest pyrotechnic firms in the country for a grand illumination of Penn- sylvania avenue from the Peac? monument to 17th street the night of Tuesday, May 22, when the parade of the nobles from all over this country and Canada, attired in evening dress and wearing their f>zzes, will march over a route including the avenue and other leading thoroughfares. Set pieces and aerial fireworks will be also displayed at tha west front of the Capitol building, the south front of the treasury and at 17th street and Pennsylvania avenue. There will be another parade Tuesday. This will be in the morning, and will be novel and picturesque.

A specimen of this reached Potentate F. H. Thomas cf Almas Temple, who is chairman of the ex- ecutive committee, today from Mecca Temple of Springfield, Mass. Two pages of a unique pamphlet, decorated with an illuminated picture of an Arab astride of a lebster, are devoted to praises of Washing- ton and the attractions offered during the May festival. The newspapers in Shrine cities are also giving the subject much space, and altogether the city is getting advertisement that cannot fail to send a great concourse to Washington that will be of substantial value in adding to the cir- culation in local coffers. ——— Hotel Arrivals.
