Neglected Pumps.

To the Editor OF THE EvENISG STAR:
In the interest of the public, particularly of
the poor toiling classes, beg leave to call the
attention of the District Commissioners to a
class of our public officials who, think, are
drawing pay from our District government for
services not rendered. Those whose duty it is
or should be, to look after and see that the
pumps of the city are kept in proper repair
appear TO give no attention in that direction
instead of attending to the pumps for the bene-
mt and comfort OF the people, there seems to
be systematic neglect, and the pumps fall
into dlsuse with WORKOUT suckers, broken
handles, or handles removed and ladies
wrenched off. Particularly is this the case in
the neighborhood of liquor saloons Then the
next tricky attention" Is to remove the pump
and fill up the well.
The pump on the corner of 1st and streets
northwest has been out of repair and no water
from 1t for four or five months with worn-out
sucker. This pump has always been noted for
excellent water.
The pump ON the corner of 5th and streets
northwest has been out of repair about seven
months, the handle having been removed. This
pump has also been noted for excellent water
About the LIST of November last a pump of
excellent water, on ID street, between LIST and
I'd streets northwest was removed. The prop
erty holders of the neighborhood, headed by
Mr.. Thos. Geary, got up petition to the Dis
moval. That pump was considered one of the
best in the city for its superior water, and vet
the petition was disregarded and the well filed
up.
1t is well known that the Potomac water is
often in a muddy, sandy, and dirty condition,
and in the summer months it is warm and nau-
seOus and not very desirable for drinking ex-
cept when used with ice. There are many poor
families who cannot well afford to buy ice at
the rate of or 10 cents day for that luxury;
neither are they well able to bear the burden
of an annual tax for the privilege" OF using
Potomac water, and should not be debarred OF
the blessings intended for our use by Almighty
God
The opinion has been repeatedly expressed
to me by several gentlemen that the muddy
condition OF the Potomac water tends to kidney
disorder and the terrible disease known as
gravel" Indeed, / think so from my own ex-
perience. Respectfully,
July IS, 1889 JOSEPH ROGERS.

Case of Attempted Poisoning.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX. Feb. 6.-Last night
r. F Edmondson, a .car-driver on the
East Wynnle street line was badly poi
soned by eating piece Of an oyster pie
and taking drink of whisky given him
by George Thompson alias Boots -
Thompson is another driver on the line
Edmondson after taking swallow of the
whisky and eating few bites of the pie,
detected something wrong and asked
Thompson what he had put into the pie
and whisky, that it tasted very peculiar.
Thompson, who was on the ear with
him, said it was all right, that he
ate part of the pie at the stables and
drank some of the whisky, and he no
ticed nothing wrong. Edmondson re-
fused to partak6 Of any more pie and
whisky upon this assurance from Thomp-
SON. He shortly after became deathly
sick and had to be taken to the stables.
Here ho yomited freely and getting
worse was taken TO DR.. Lee s Office with
portion OF the pie he had not eaten
DR.. Lee prescribed for him and gave it
as his opinion upon examination
Of the pie and the symptoms manifested
by EdmondSon that he had been poisoned
Edmondson this morning was removed to
the hospital and is now convalescing
Thompson was led TO belisFe that Ed
mondson was dead, and expressing sor-
row, made q clean breast of il as he said,
TO ease his conscience. He said he had
the pie baked purposely last evening,
and after getting il went to Preston IS
drug store and purchased some rough on
rats. After eating part of the
pie he raised the cover of
the portion left and sprinkled
thu poison through and over it.. He then
dosed the whisky with it After having
done this he boarded Edmondson g ear
TO induce him to eat the pie and drink
the whisky. His reason for doing this
was that Edmondson had ordered HIM to
keep away from his house and cease
bothering his wife and that
he did this 70 get even with
him. After his confession he was
told Edmondsen was alive and ont Of dan
ger, whereupon Thompson expressed his
qualification. Thompson arrived here
from Liverpool about seven months
ago, is a dwarf in size, and
has a yillainous countenanee He is
in custody oD charge of assault with
intent TO murder. and has been identified
by the clerk as the man who purchased

Democratic Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Demo-
cratic senators held caucus this morn
ing attended by about fifteen members.
They talked for an hour or so but came
to no conclusion it is reported as to the
policy to be pursued upon legislation or
nominations. One senator said they had
nothing to propose to the Republicans
upon either subject.
The time of the caucus was entirely
consumed in apeeches by individual sem
ators, urging that preference be
given bills in which they are interested i.
Nearly every senator present had some
measure which he thought should have
precedence in arranging the order of
business for the remainder of the ses-
sion. In view of this wide diver
sity of opinion and of the fact
that the time of the senate for some days
to come will be taken up with appropria-
ton bills the caucus adjourned without
any conclusion being reached Senator
Harris, chairman of the caucus, said the
question of uniform nominations was not
considered at all.
The Democratic senators held another
caucus this afternoon and spent two
hours in discussion. Chairman Harris
said at its close it was simply a continual
ton of the morning proceedings with no
practical result reached.

SUNDAY REST.
A General Movement Toward that

Laws of Mexico.
am 30 AIore vacancies.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 1t is no use for
President Cleveland TO make any more
nominations to fill vacancies in public
Offices. The senate has determined not
to confirm any of his appointments.
This small action of the senate
is entirely unnecessary, as they
will not have the power after March to
upset all the Federal officers who do not
hold their position for life. A caucus of
Democratic senator's was held this morn
ing to consider the subject, but only a
few senators were present and no ac-
ton was taken 1t was Mr.. Cleveland )
intention to make Assistant Secretary
Thompson a civil service commissioner,
but he was informed that the senate civil
service committee would not report the
nomination
Senator Coke introduced to-day nu-
merously signed petition from the citizens
of Corsicana, Tex, praying for the pass
age Of
THE SUNDAY REST BILL
and asking that Interstate commerce on
railroads be suspended on that day
There seems to be a very general move
Eent all over the country in favor of
making Sunday a complete day OF rest,
the originator and active promoter of the
idea in the senate being Senator
Blair of New Hampshire, who is COM
pletely overloaded with petitions and
letters on the subject. The matter will
not, however, receive any consideration
at this session for lack of time.
1t is generally conceded by every one
now that
NO TARIFF BILL
viii be passed. The ways and means
committee will report q bill including
the repeal of the tobacco tax and the
administrative features of the senate bill
and such provisions as are common to the
house and senate bill There is some
doubts as to whatthe appropriations COM
mittee will do with the Cowles bill. II it
be reported simply as an internal
revenue bill it will probably pass, but if
it contains tariff revision it will fail.
The disposition on the part of the Repub-
lican side of the house is not to accept
any compromise tariff measure but rather
to have the whole subject remain for dis
position as a legacy tothe Fifty-frst con-
gTeSs,
Pay directors John s. Cunningham and
Mr. James Ashbnry reached the City of
Mexico January %. They complain
that their lunch basket with an elegant
lunch was
SEIZED BY THE CUSTOMS OFFICIALS
of Laredo, the pretext for the seizure be-
ing that the spoons and forks in the bas-
ket were solid silver, but in reality they
were plated metal. These gentlemen say
that if travel from the northern republic
is expected in Mexico more liberal Gus
toms laws will have to be framed. The
seizure of their lunch basket was
severe loss to them as there was no buffet
car on a journey of $50 miles.
