the conductor in an insinuating tone as he
handed a shabbily dressed lady into an avenue
car yesterday afternoon. Every seat was oc-
cupied and there were only three ladies in the
car. Those three seats were the only ones
that remained occupied two seconds latter,
and the poorly costumed lady, whose pale face
flushed at the conductors rather cxtraordi.

bow OF thanks to the young man to whom II
belonged. A REPUBLICAN reporter witness
this incident and took the conductor to task for
what seemed an unnecessary slur on the
galiantry of the other male passengers

by this time another female passenger, a
handsomely dressed young lady, entered and

THE JoNEs-BURRILL MURDER.


The inquest over the body OF Walter Jones,
the negro stabbed by Robert II. Burrill, was
resumed at noon yesterday. Rachel A. p Cross,
colored, testified that she saw the men playing
on sweat-cloth from 11:30 to u o'clock Sun
day forenoon, when Burrill called Jones vile
name. Both men went into the road and
picked up stones, and then they went toward
each other, one dropping his missiles and the
other drawing knife, which he held behind
him. They went up Third street, stopping in
front of Moore's place. where they commenced
to fight with their fists. Burrll let 20 of Jones
and ran, Jones also running but was
knocked out of Minor Taylor's house, where
he tried to take refuge. Jones then picked
/ up two stones and threw them at Bdrrill,
striking him in the back, but fell to
the ground afterward. Witness helped to
pick him up, and he died in her arms She
identified the prisoner, who was brought in
for that purpose.
Andrew Jackson was also present, and re-
lated the cause Of the trouble. Jones had bet
and lost on the game, and struck Burrill who
had demanded another quarter running for a
door afterward, from which he was put out,
and then Burrill cut him.
William Simms said that when Jones kicked
Burrill that latter paid him so cents.
The jury returned verdict that Jones's
death was caused by a punctured wound OF
the pulmonary artery, inflicted with a knife
in the hands of Henry alias Cutter Burrill.
The prisoner admitted to the officers having
cut Jones, who, he said, was pursuing and
striking him. He was photographed and sent
to Jail.

CLARK MILLs'S ESTATE.
Its Distribution Gives Rise to an Unpleasant
Domestic Scandal.

Domestic Scandal.
In the equity cause OF Clark Mills, jr., and
others against Susan E. Mills, Eva S. Mills
Howell, and others, heirs OF Clark Mills, de-
ceased praying the sale of meadow Bank
Spa Springs" and division of the proceeds
between those entitled to them, the answer of
Mrs, Susan 4. Mills and Eva L, Mills Howell
was filed yesterday by their solicitors. Messrs.
W. Penn Clark and +. A. Lambert
They state that Clark Mills, by codicile to
his will, dated Jan. 6, 1888, provided after the
payment TO his sons, Theodore A. Fisk John
5. and Clark Mills, jr., the $4,000 allowed
to them by the government, and for which the
farm Is mortgaged, the executor was TO pay
them each SIS, which was to be in the place of
ALI requests given by any previous wills and
codiciles. After these requests were paid the
residue of the estate, was to be divided equally
between the testators wife, Susan E. Mills, and
her adopted daughter, Eya S. Mills Howell.
The respondents admit that the estate is sub
ject to the trust for $4,000 and certain lega-
cies. They deny the allegation that Susan +.
Mills is not the widow Of Clark Mills that she
never was his lawful wife, and that at the
time Of her marriage with the deceased she had
"a lawful husband living, and that he is still
'living. They deny that the deceased was ever
aware that Mrs. Mills had husband living
at the date of her marriage with him, and that
afterit came to his knowledge he separated
from her and did not live with her for years,
nor at all until a short time before his death.
when he became ldemented from soitening. of
the brain, or that after he became incurable,
Mrs. Mills obtained control over him and in
duced him to reside in the same house with
her tor few months Immediately preceding
his death. They also deny that Clark
Mills ever separated from his wife. They
state that Mrs. Mills was lawfully mar
ried TO Mr. Mills in baltimore, Nd,
Jan. u, 1861, by Rev. Mr., Fuller; that Mr..
Fuller is now deceased, and that by the laws
of the state of Maryland no register of mar
riages was required to be kept. They aver
that neither them ever received any consid-
Grafton from the complainants or any other
person for executing the agreements admitting
Theophilus Fisk Mills to an equal share in the
estate and waving proofo of the second codicil,
but will do so on the representation that the
agreement recognized the right of Mrs. Mills
10 dover in the estate, and this was fully I'M
dcrstood by all parties They charge that the
complainants by entering into the agreement
and conscnting to the admission of the will
and codicils are barred from denying Mrs.
Mills's right to dover. The respondents claim
that after the $4,000 charge is paid, the bal
rnce of the estate should be subject TO the
dover Of Mrs. Mills and then be divided
equally between Eva s. Mills-HOwell and the
four sons ofthe deceased.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Another Company Proposes to Attempt Light
ing the City Streets.

Ing the City Streets.
At q recent meeting of directors of the
United States Electric Light company COM
mittee, consisting of Samuel Norment, S. w.
Tullock, William Dickson. A. NJ. Renshaw,
James L. Barbour, Robert Boyd, and NJ. G..
Emery, was appointed to visit Philadelphia
and make an inspection of the electrical e1-
position in progress there. Experts will nc.
company the party, and several tests will be
made Of the systems for street lighting, with a
view OF adapting one of them to the streets of
this city. The committee will 60 about the
latter part OF this week and will remain for
few days. On their return they will make
proposition to the commissioners to light the
streets at terms which they say the commits
sioners cannot reject.
A letter received here from an electric ex-
pert in New York states "that In no other city
in the world are the streets allowed to be lighted
by refectors," and the writer is inclined to
think that the local branch of the Brush-Swan
company are conducting some private tests
while he is sure the parent company are OPP
posed to the system. The Brush-Swan COM
pany will in a few days begin the erection of
their yard" poles at Seventh and Ninth streets
