In the Equity Court today Judge Cox granted

GoDg-Ringing Street Cars.

To the Editor Of THE EvEsISG STAR
desire to make protest against the gong
ringing on the 18th street cable cars 1t seems
to me entirely unnecessary, and it is. as every
one must acknowledge, exceedingly unpleas-
ant. 1t makes the street noisy and Disagree
able. Before the cable cars were used il was
not found necessary TO ring bell at every
street crossing or when the cars started-why
should Il be necessary now to strike a very
loud gong? The cable cars can be stopped as
readily as the horse cars, and there is no more
danger In their use than in the latter The Com
missioners prohibited the Use of bells on the
car horses, but now, strange as it seems, they
allow this really dreadful use Of gongs. AZ
there is every prospect of an extension Of the
cable and electric systems Of street transporta-
ton there will soon be hundreds of gongs
ringing all over the city on many streets unless
their Use is now prohibited. Heaven forbid
that we should ever come to be city Of gong
ringing, OF annoying street cries, of din and
tumuit. VIII the Commissioners give W
peace. ANA

GENTLEMEN-In Withdrawing my full page
advertisement for time wish to thank you
for the prominent pages you have given me,
as we'll as for the attractive appearance of each
for fully appreciate the fact that successful
advertisement must have its subject matter
presentes to the reading public in the most
pleasing form, and this can only be accom-
plished by the hearty cooperation Of the news
paper. The vast numbers Of our citizens that
have read your paper during the past two
weeks have seen my advertisement ma
jority Of them have accepted my invitation and
visited Riverdale Park.
The phenomenal success have had in dis
posing of lots in this subdivision I attribute to
three causes-frst the wide circulation of The

park; second, the magnificent property itself,
appealing to the sound Judgment Of all think
ing people; third. the low price and very easy
terms L am Offering
expect to continue the daily excursions,
with complimentary tickets, music, lunch. &C.,
but am convinced that the people of Wash
ington have become SO thoroughly acquainted
with this fact through the extensive circulation
OF The STAR that further advertisement at the
present time would prove useless.
Riverdale Park is known to thousands and
everybody knows that am the exclusive agent
for the sale of lots.

THE ALL-NlGHT CARS.
An Owl Service on the Avenue Line to
Begin Next Week.

1--WE will commence running all-night avenue
cars on the night Of the I'd OF june" said
President Hurt Of the Washington and George
town Railroad Company TO STAR reporter this
morning. 1--WE are going to find out the ex-
tent of the demand that Is said to exist for half
hour cars. Some people have been insisting
for quite awhile that such a service is necces-
sary. The company did not think so or the
cars would have been doing duty long before
this. Now We shall have q practical demon
stration. Personally do not think the bust
ness done will justify the service, but we are
going to give it trial.
The LIST of June falls on Sunday, so we will
not commence until Monday night From and
after that date the silence on the avenue will be
broken by the rumble OF owl trains going eac b
way every half hour.
''All a man needs TO secure a ride from one
end of the route to the other" said Mr.. Hurt,
lis nickel or a ticket. No discrimination
will be made on account of race. sex. previous
or present condition. Lazarus and Dives can
sit side by side, and if one Of them happens to
be slightly intoxicated the situation is an una
voidable incident.
There will be no all-night cars on It'll street
or 14th street until there is a demand for them
So far no one has asked for any such accommo-
dations, and OF course the company will not
pay men and buy horses in the interests OF sem
timent. Whenever half-hour cars become
necessary the supply will be as large as the de-
mand"

tence of Lewis Williams.

The President this morning saved the neck
Of Lewis Williams, who, il no executive inter
ference had taken place. would have been
hanged next Thursday at the District Jail for
the crime of murder. The sentence was COM
muted to imprisonment for life. The Presi-
dents Enforcement upon the application for
pardon in this case is az follows:
'In view Of the fact that the petitioner was
only seventeen years of age when the crime
was committed, and of the probability that the
heat and passion of collision which had taken
place between the parties q few moments be-
fore had not subsidized. and of the recommends
ton Of the attorney general the sentence in
this case is committed to imprisonment for life
at hard labor in the New York penitentiary at
Albany, N. Y. BENZ. HARRISON"

WAS 1T A MURDER?
An Overheard Conversation That May
Explain VIM. Kearney's Disappearance.


little mere than . year ago an old LADY
named Kearney, wife Of Vim. kearney, died
after long illness and left personal property
worth about a thousand dollars The old
woman also left tso or three grown daughters
kearney was their step-father.
After the death OF Mrs. kearney her effects
were claimed by both the husband and the
children, Judge Miller appearing IS the old
mans legal adviser. The dispute over the
property was amicAbly adjusted, and the prop
eriy would have been divided in June Q year
ago had not the old man suddenly disappeared
shortly before the time named he bought .
wagon of Mr.. 7. u. Heisken In this CITY and
went to work hauling brick AZ the brickyards
not FAR from the Virginia end of the Long
Bridge.
Hs DISAPPEARED IN JUNR
About the first week in June he disappeared,
but did not take has horse and wagon Whether
he sold them or not is not known by the on
GERS, who are now investigator rumor that
he was murdered
The Last time he WAS seen in the CITY vss
when he was at Mr.. Heiskell's store.
BODY POUND.
Toward the latter part Of the month that
Kearney disappeared the decomposed body of
a man was found in the river. AT the time Il
WAS impossible to distinguish the color.
although 1t wac then supposed to be the body
OF a colofed man
Nothing more was ever thought Of the disap-
pearsnce of kearney or the finding of the body
until a couple of days ago. when James Burns
called on Policeman Pearson. Burns. 10 ap-
pears, married one of kearney's step-daughters
and ID at work at the brick yards where
hearney used 20 work. Burns lives on 18th
street. not far from the jail, and on account Of
the long distance from his house 90 the brick
yards he only goes home once a week.
BURNS STORY.
According TO his story he was in place not
last week when two men got into . dispute.
During the trouble one OF the men, be said,
made a remark about the killing Of Kearney.
The other one, according 10 Burns story, re-
torted: III dad kill him you carried his body
TO the river"
III the old man was really murdered 10 WAS
done IN Virginia, aud the authorities of Alex
andrla county will have TO make the inyestiga-
tion. IL the sheriff Of the county makes such
an investigation the police here viii lend what
assistance they can.
AN INVESTIGATION MADE.
Magistrate Gloss Of Alexandra county has
been told Of the affair and he will probably see
that the matter is investigated. IL the step
children can prove the death of Kearney the
estate can be divided. otherwise the estate can
not be divided for seven years, unless kearney
appears 10 sign the papers.
Should Burns suspicion prove correct and ID
turns out that kearney was murdered the case
Will no doubt be an interesting one. The off,
GERS, however, are at a loss 60 lind a motive for
such a murder unless II was committed In q
drunken brawl, as hearney was hot known 20
carry much money with him.

TOO LATE TO CHANGE,
The House Census Committee Says the
Questions Must Stand as Printed.

The House committee on the census has
made one Intellectual attempt to hold 3 meet
ing to consider the McAdoo resolution which
seeks to cause the exclusion of GER
tain questions from the lists of
the census enumerators. Less than
quorum answered the call for q meeting and
those members who were present decided even
if it were desirable to modify the questions
there is not now sufficient time remaining
before the enumeration to make
any changes The printing and distribution
Of the present set Of questions consume nearly
three months, and it was not regarded as FEAST
BILE to notify by telegraph the great body of
census enumerators of the exclusion Of certain
questions.

GERMAN CATHOLIC CONVENTION.
Wisconsin to be Battle Ground on the
School Question.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 26.-The first con-
vention Of the German Catholic societies OF
Wisconsin opened in Deusscher Mennerverein
Hall this morning. Nearly 5000 members of
societies, 100 delegates and 5000 excursionists
reported at headquarters.
At the close Of prayer by Rev. Father Pssel,
President Kaiser introduced Mayor Peck, who
made the welcome address. H. ]. Spannhorst
of St Louis, president Of the National Organi-
cation Of Catholic Societies, responded. The
roll of delegates was then called and the con-
vention adjourned until O'Clock tomorrow
m orning.
Mr.. Spannhorst in his address said the con-
vension had no political purpose, using that
word in its general sense, but Of course there
were matters dear to the members of the So
cieties that were political.
1t is expected that the convention will adopt
resolutions in opposition to the Bennett COM
pulsory school Law, which is just now shaking
political foundations in the badger state.
