ed to investigate the burning andt4rn
all the facts they could. On the 20th

meetings we're held, but up to that
time the committee had no report to
make rs they had not completed their
work of investigation.
During the progress of the invcsli'
CATION a certain party learned that he
was under suspicion. lie gathered a
crowd aud began a movement to break
up the investigation. He first attack.
cd one of the witnesses, who had been
before the committee, aud tried to
learn something of the matter; then
on two occasions while the invcstiga-
ton was going on, he and his immedl-
ate friends publicly assailcd the COM
mi'tcc and charged that a scheme was
being worked to fix the gbilt upon
hinf Not being satisfied Gith that he
threatened to carry his entire force OF
about fifteen or twenty into the COM
mittcc room in a body and hear the
proceedings. This action led the COM
mittec to dcsist from any further at
tempt to investigate the matter as they
could do nothing in SO public u manner.
The matter was turned over TO the
Grand jury.
We wish now once to say that as a
committee, we acted under the ap-
pointmcnt of our fellow citizens, and
we acted insrihe interest of law and
Justice and the good OF society. The
charge made in public on two occa-

Was this Young Woman Tired of Life
or Seeking Notoriety?

On one of the benches in the waiting room
of the Potomac ferry companv's wharf yester-
day morning. sat a young woman, described
as being about twenty years old and with a
dark complexion. She wore a red dress and u
small red bonnet 10 match. She also wore q
dark coat The matron who went on duty at
10 o'clock noticed the girls actions and heard
that she had stated to another woman that she
was going to jump overheard. Upon hearing
this the matron walked across the room and took
a seat beside the young woman and questioned
her concerning the statement she had made. Il
have no father, no mother, no sister. no
brother. They are all dead and have moth
ing to live for" were the despairing words that
fell from the young woman's lips.
But wouldn't kill myself for all that" said
the klnd-hearted matron. The young woman
then volunteered the information that instead
OF jumping overheard she
INTENDED TO HANG HERSELF.
Tho matron informed Policeman King what
the girl had said, and that officer questioned
her. She told him that she was able TO take
care Of herself and he concluded not to arrest
her. She left the wharf and walked I'D 7th
street, turning at Water street and going in the
direction of the oyster wharf Who the girl is
Is not known, but it is thought that she resides
IN Alexandria and is employed in this city,
She appeared at the wharf later IN the day and
purchased ticket for Alexandria and went
down on the steamer City of Washington at
$3.50 O'Clock. The matron saws that the Young
woman had considerable money in her pocket
book when she purchased the ticket Those
who saw her and heard her statement are of
the opinion that she was simply trying to
create q sensation.

WHO IS "REDDY,, FOSTER?
Supposed to be Jim Duncan, a Wash

1t was stated in yesterdays STAR that police
and Jail officials here were unanimous in the
opinion that the Harry Poindexter arrested

j. B. Buck alias ]. B. Brown alias Bright, who
Is under sentence for the larceny of Mrs. Pot
ters diamonds and whose successful scheme to
get out of Jail here was related in yesterdays
STAR. Several circumstances besides the
description sent here from Cincinnati serve to
strengthen the belief. The style of work Poin-
dexter was about to engage in was similar to
that he did at the Arlington here, his story of
being respectfully connected is similar and the
name he took there is that Of one of the per-
sons living in the house where fellow prisoner

had been about here for several years. and
some time since he married Pittsburg girl
and brought her to this city and placed her in
house of ill-fame, who is said now to be in
CINCINNATI. Last summer he was arrested here
as suspicious character and was sentenced to
the work house, but, taking an appeal, he re-
manned his time in Jail. He was wanted for
the larceny Of overcoats, and with Jim Foster
left and went to Baltimore where Foster (who
Is from Plttsburg) was arrested and is now in
prison in Baltimore. While in Jail Duncan had
cell very near that of Buck, and they
became somewhat intimate. 1t Is thought
that Duncan was the man who
drove Buck and Sewall around the CITY
after they had escaped from the District jail
and, perhaps. assisted in getting them out of

ST. ELMO's FIRE ON BEN NEVIS.
The Brilliant Displays of the Phenom.
enon Seen at Scotch Observatory.
From Public Opinion.

FROM fuDLc OplDlOn
In a paper on ''St Elmo's Fire on Ben
Nevis, by Angus Rankin in the Journal Of he
Scottish Meteorological Society, it is stated that
ST. Elmo's fire, as seen occasionally at the Ben
Nevis observatory, takes the form of Jets Of
light on the tops Of all objects that stand any
height above the general level of the roof of
the observatory, such as the chimneys, ane-
mometers, lightning rods, &c. In a very fine
display the tops of the objects are quite ablaze
with the phenomenon, which then glows and
misses in brilliant tongues of white and
blue, from four to six, or even more,
inches in length. Nor is the phenomenon
confined to these objects alone in the
finer displays; but if the observer stands
it as well, and when he raises a stick above his
head the stick has also a long flame at the top
Further, however, than having a slight ting
ling in his head and hands he suffers no incon-
venience. The kissing is very marked
characteristic of the phenomenon, being always
heard during ordinary displays, though in the
feebler displays, when the light can barely be
seen, it cannot be distinguished from the his
sing of the wind and the snow drift On one
occasion the sound was a very highly pitched
note. In the finer and even in ordinary dis
plays St. Elmo's fire is an object of great
beauty, and the stormy character of the
weather-namely, squally winds with heavy
showers of snow and hail, and with clouds of
snowdrift flying all around-heightens rather
than diminshes the effect, although at the
same time it detracts from the convenience Of
observing with advantage.

Where the Potomac Black Bass Came
From.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
In your very interesting little history of the
patent Office published in THE STAR of last Sat-
urday your correspondent makes q small mis-
take in his statement Of facts. In speaking OF
DR.. Thornton. who was the first presiding
genius of that bureau, he says that "many day
when the doctor had nothing to do he used to
get out his fishing tackle and take turn with
the black bass and perch of the upper Poto-
mac" The smile comes in here when it is re-
membered that in those early days there were
no black bass in the Potomac nor any of its
tributaries.
In the year 1853, just after the extension of
the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to
the Ohio river, Col James Forsythe and Col.
VIM. Shriver, two veteran lovers Of Walton's
gentle art" then residing in Wheeling, Va,
took from the waters of Fishing creek, near
Petersburg, some twenty fine specimens of
black bass to Wheeling by steamer. At Wheel
ing they were placed in the water tank or ten
der OF a locomotive and therein were conveyed
over the mountains to Harper's Ferry, where
they were dumped into the Potomac as fresh,
hearty and lively they were the hour they
were taken from their native stream. And
from them have descended all the thousands
of bass which have since been taken from the
Potomac and tributary waters. Let all lovers
of that gamiest of fish give all due credit and
thanks to those old-time sportsmen, Messrs
FOrsythe and Shriver, whose memories are
still green and unfaded. though they have long
been laid away in silent rest. Nc
