CROPSEYS CHILDREN
Restored 10 Him A AfteraLoug

Major Brock received postal card from
Joe Cropsey to-day informing him that Joe
had recovered is long-lost daughters and
would arrive in Washington with them in
day or two. Joe Cropsey, it will be re-
membered, is a rag dealer who came to this
city nearly year ago and went into busi-
ness with gypsie partner. In August last
Cropsey started to leave the city, en- route
for Baltimore, in a large, one.horse country
wagon, in which Cropsey, his two daugh-
tcrs, aged four and six years, his partner
and his partners blind wife were riding.
On Seventh street Mr.. Cropsey got out
and went into store to purchase some
food for the children, and when he returned
the wagon was out Of sight. Mr.. Cropsey
was unable to overtake the wagon, and re-
ported his loss to the police.
During five months Mr.. Cropsey wandered
on foot through Virginia, West Virginia and
Maryland without finding his children
Two weeks ago it was learned that the
girls were staying in the suburbs of Mar
tinsburg, and yesterday the children were
recovered by their parent.

THE LIBEL SUIT
Against the Editors Of the .sSunday
Item.S


The trial Of Samuel s. Lacy and John L.
Bruce, editors of the Washington Sunday
Item, a newspaper conducted by and in the
interest of colored people, were placed on
trial in the Criminal Court this morning,
charged with publishing libel ON Drs. L.
2. Rowland and Samuel T. Mason, dentists,
on the 10th of June last.
The article is to the effect that on Ger
tain date VIM. Joyce had sued these dentists
for damages in fracturing his jaw-bone, and
that he had mot been up very long from a
six months confinement to his bed, result
ing from malpractice of the above-named
incompetent pretenders. few days ago
they came out in the following deceptive
card: THE statement of the colored man
William Joyce that we fractured his Jaw is
entirely untrue, and the envious dentists
who advise a suit, so that the name of the
thing will injure us, and who en-
courage said Joyce to blackmail us
in the name of compromise will
find in the end that they will injure them
selves more than u.s. Did we not know of
the many victims Of these so-called den-
fists, and two cases especially, who have
their jaw-bones so mangled that restoration
is forever impossible we would not ven-
ture to caution the public against such un-
skillful pretcnders. Intelligent people also
would not seek to rid themselves of such
murderers are to blame, and not the perpe-
traitors of the crimes. Their practice has
been principally among poor class of peo-
pie, who, when unskillfully treated, were
too poor to bring suit against these villains,
or the matter was compromised for few
dollars. We hope Mr.. Joyce will be finan-
cially able and courageous enough to pros
ecute these community wranglers to the
fullest extent of the law"
The trial is likely to consume the entire
day. Assistant District Attorney Taggart
appears for the Government and Mr.. Charles
Pelham for the defendants.

THE KEEFE SISTERS,
We're Their Deaths Caused by rot.
SOM


Tho gravcst doubts have been raised as
to whether the two young ladies, Miss Kate
keefe and Mrs. Johanna Lovejoy, whose
singular deaths have caused such excite
n6ent, were or were not poisoned. IL will
be remembered that the Coroners Jury on
Saturday decided that some irritant or veg
etablc poison had been administered, but
there was no testimony from which this
decision was made, except that Of DR.. Har-
tigan, that no active or mineral poison was
found in the stomachs, but that the intes-
tines, liver and kidneys were innamed, and
the brain congestod in n manner that
might lead TO the conclusion that irritant
poison had been administered.
Up to the present time, Prof Fristoe,
who has been carefully analyZing the
stomachs and medicine, has not
found any poison or anything to
indicate its presence. The suppo-
sition now is that death occurred from
spotted fever or cercbro-spinal meningitis,
the effects of either Of which would have
been similar to those observed. IL Is re-
ported that Prof. Fristoe and Doctors
Patterson, Hartigan and Merriam are all of
the opinion that probably poison was not
administered as supposed.

women without enemies or persons to be

The Feeling i'm the Community.
The case attracted great attention In Lin

strong feeling that those parties had COM
mitted n grave offense TO the great injury of

yesterday the feeling was universal that the
prosecution was without foundation.
Concerning the
Howl About Star.rOute "Frausls,'
the Republican says: 'Star.routes are simply
such mail routes as are familiar to every
reader who has travelled of the lines of rail
ways. So noisy has been the clamor OF certain
needless or reckless journals about the Star
route frauds that the public has been led to
believe that there Is n great deal of wicked
ness about these mail routes. Nothing Is more
lnccrrect Stdr-rOuteS ure simply tne routes
other than railroads and rivers. When the era
OF reform, so-called, was commenced by Post
master-General James, q few Of the detectives
In the employ of the Post-office Department
thought 1t was their opportunity 'to pay off
old scores against such mail contractors as
they had grndges against. The recent trial
Mt Lincoln is claimed to be an outcome of
this"
The foregoing are the fair, unbiased ac-
counts Of the trial and the causes which led to
It OF two representative newspapers. The cost
OF these futile, abortive 'prosecutions" is an
enormous burden on the people to no other
end than the enrichment of certain greedy on
cials.

that Mr.. Star took charge OF the ofIice, and up
10 the time OF his removal. Mr.. Star asserts
that he has kept a correct record, and stands
by the report made TO the Department. Mr.
Furay, however, desired a different statement,
and by threats and lntimidations compelled
Star 10 give u statement as dictated by him (Fu-
y),assuring Star that nothing but settlement
with the stage company would be demanded,
and that tho stage company had intimated 10
settle ON those terms. Mr.. Star having reported
as law and Instructions required, as per sched-

The Free Importation of Rico

FREE Oh
Mr. John F. Tslmage, of Messrs. Dan Tai
IMAGES Sons, who, with their various South
ern connections (among them a branch
house in Savannah), are prominent in
the rice business, in an interview recently
stated with reference to the practical effect
Of the Hawaiian treaty upon the rice inter
ests of the United States that they had been
opposed to the treaty from the first, and
had used every endeavor to prevent fits
passage At the time 1t was under con-
sideration they had predicted that the free
entry Of rice would greatly interfere with
the American product, as it would cause an
abnormal development of the rice growing
interest in the Sandwich Islands. As the
effect of the treaty was problematical and
the State Department strongly urged that
more than reciprocal benefits would accrue
to the United States, Congress adopted It.
Results have proven the opposition was well
grounded, for the culture has been rapidly
extended, and to-day It is offered at com
petitive prices in the city Of New York. It
might be remarked in passing that the rail-
road and other transportation companies
contribute their quota to put the
same on a competitive basis by giving
better rates on Eastward bound freights
rather than on Westward. The Messrs. Tai
mage say they are most emphatically in
favor OF the abrogation of the treaty. II is
inconsistent with the diplomatic policy of
the United States, giving, as it does, to the
Hawaiian Islands advantages which are
withheld from other nations which we pro-
fess to most highly favor. By indirection,
it is putting the East India product III com
petition with our own domestic growth, for
The Sandwich Islander now ships his pro-
duct and supplies his own want with the
Indian. Lastly, it has opened the door to
fraud, and offers a temptation to the SNUG
gler to import the Indian into the Islands
and then export the same under the guise
OF its being a Hawaiian product. 1t may be
difficult to prove, but there is circumstau-
tisl evidence strongly indicative that such
has been done in no small way during the
past year.
