z he Charges Against o. O. Howard

The Wood Howard Freedmen's Bureau
| investigation has been hedged with such
secrecy by Howard's friends that neither
persons outside uor those immediately
concerned can get anything beyond the
| mere drippings of the evidence. s. NJ
Arnell, OF Tennessee, who is at the head
! of the committee charged with the inves-
t1gatlon, has an idea that his friend How
| ards reputation can be best benefited by
keeping everything quiet. as if the people,
who are as much interested in the matter
| as either Howard or Arnell, would never
see the testimony. The witnesses examined
thus far. according to their own state
ments, have given testimony which is any
thing but favorable to Howard. It is not,
OF course. denied that he was Commis-
sloner Of the Freedmen's Bureau that he
had the charge and disbursement of its
funds, and that he has, in that capacity,
disposed of millions upon millions of the
public money. The prosecution contend
that they have already proved that How
ard purchased the ground where the
Howard University now stands and erected
the building out of the funds appropriated
by Congress for the kroedmen's Bureau.
They think that they have shown that he
WIS largely interested in the manu-
facture Of the patent brick ont of which
the Howard University is constructed !;
that the money for these brick was paid
out OF the Bureau funds and into the
pockets of General Howard and his asso-
ciates. It is also in evidence that he asked
and received an acre of the ground pur-
chased for tho Howard University by the
Bureau funds, for himself. and that he
has erected private residence upon it,
all at The expense of the Bureau. The
trustees of the University have testified
that the institution is a private corpora
ton, in no sense connected with the Gov
ernment; that the Government has no con-
troll of it, and does not receive any rev.
enue or benefit from it. At the same time
it is held that the money for its erection
was paid out of the government funds,
and that the salaries of its professors and
teachers are now paid out of the Bureau
fund. Builders and architects have testi-
fed to the fact that the material known as
the patent brick, out of which the build
ing was constructed, is worthless for build
ing purposes, and that it would not answer
for private dwellings, much less for large
public building. Some fifteen witnesses
have been summoned for next week on the
part of the prosecution. There is no pros
pect that the investigation will soon end.
Mr.. Wood, who made the charges, is de-
termined to sift the matter to the bottom
and will not be put off with any attempt at
white washing. The main poin. so far
elected is with regard to the Howard Uni
versity and the manner of it's construction.
It is said, however, that the prosecution
has evidence of more damaging charac-
ter, which they will bring up in due time.

"A s make Story,

A correspondent of the Fredericksburg

county, on the 21st, says:
''While at Captain John 3. Beasley's
fishing shore on the Potomac river, few
days since, heard one Of the most remark
able snake STOKES that / ever knew to
come to pass in these modern times One
of Capt BIS hands had been complaining
for some weeks past, saying he felt things
crawling about inside of him, and on the
full Of last moon, he was SO annoyed that
he could neither rest day nor night Dur
ing the day on last Friday, he was taken
with fit of coughing, which almost caused
strangulation, when to the surprise of
several bystanders, snake about eighteen
inches long came out of his mouth and ran
across the floor of the shanty, when one Of
the men killed it, and he has 1t now in a

may seem, Captain 3. and several of his

The man himself says he has been an

snake and several black bugs and also a

nothing but bread and coffee. When he
eats meat he says he can feel something
crawl in his stomach, and in short time
he is as hungry as though he had eaten

Protest OF Bishops Against the PapaI TnfaI-
fIbflisv

ROME, April 1.-THE following highly
important document has been adopted by
many of the bishops in attendance at the
Gcumenical Council, and presented to the
Pope, on the subject of infallibility. The
paper is headed by the name of the Most
Reverend Archbishop Purcell, of Cincin-
nati-a fact which gives its PRONUNCIATION,
If possible. additional Importance
MosT HOLY FATHER PROSTATE
at the feet of your Holiness, we most earn
estly supplicate that the question on the
definition of the infallibility of the Sover-
eign Pontiff as dogma of faith NAV not
be proposed to the Vatican Council
Among other reasons of this supplication
we beg to addnce only three, which appear
to be sufficient
First Because tie discussion of this
question will evidently show want of
union. and especially unanimity among
the Bishops.
Second Because On account of the cir
cumstances III which we are placed in
countries where herlSiea not only exist
with impunity but are dominant, this de-
-iinition, instead Of attracting, would alien
ate those whom we seek by all Christian
meaps to lead to the folds of Christ.
Third Because We anticipate endless
QuGSilODS VIII tEIS0 WHICH may interfere
with ard prevent the work of our min
istry, and cause the fruits Of this Council
to be lost to thuse who are not members of
the Holy Catholic Church. Having laid
bare our hearts and sincere intentions, we
implore Almighty God to avert all evil
from the Church, and that he may illum-
inc and direct yon with His holy spirit

Death Under Singular Ctrcumstnnces-A
Young Man In His CeEOusaIs Dies In an
Area-A Female Companion Sleeps cn
Ills Body.

Coroner Rollins was yesterday called to
the Eighth preoinot station hougo 90 in
vestigate somewhat singular case Of death.
Shortly after four o'clock yesterday N morn
ing officer Mckinley, of tho Eighth pre-
cinct, in going his rounds, discovered two
persons lying at the bottom of e. fight of
steps OF premises 118 Blocker street. An
examination, which the officer made at
once, showed that woman was lying
across the body Of dead man, and that
she was fast asleep. With much difficulty
she was aroused and taken to the Prince
street police station, and there said her
name was Mary Lee. Of No. 174 Wooster
street. The body of the man was carried
to the station house, where it was subse-
quently identified as that of Robert Glib
bons Phillips, an adopted son of iona B.
Phillips, deceased, formerly Assistant Dis
trict Attorney under John McKeon. The
testimony showed that the deceased had
been drinking to excess On Sunday, and at
two o'clock in the morning he left 2O5
Wooster street, telling female compan-
that he should take car and ride up to
Central Park. After leaving the house,
however, deceased met Mary Lee in
porter house, and taking drink or two
they started off together. In staggering
along Bleeker street they stepped into the
unprotected area and fell to the bottom
of the fight of stairs, Phillips falling with
SO much force as to burst PANEL from
the Easement door with his head. Doubt
less the injuries reduced him to insensi-
bility, from which he did not recover
The woman fell across his body, and be-
ing so deeply intoxicated failed to COM
prehend what had happened and sank in
| to sound sleep over the corpse of her
more unfortunate companion. When
brought to realizing sense of her condi-
ton by official interference Mary was al.
most horror stricken, promising to sign
the pledge and never more indulge in the
use of strong drink. DIR. John Beach ex-
amined the body of Mr.. Phillips. and his
opinion death resulted from concussion oi
the brain, caused by the fall, and such was
the verdict of the jury. The jury also
censured the owner of premises No. III
Blocker street for not placing a railing
/ around the steps Of said building for the
| protection of human life.
Deceased was thirty-five years of agt
and a native Of this city. He lived at 15'
West Thirty first street, but spent yer.
little of his time there. Friends tool
charge of the remains for interment.
