PRIVATE DETECTIVES.

Many Of the visitors to Lake GeryaiS
of a set Of men wearing stars who were
in charge of the grounds, and could not
understand why these special police
drove every one from the lake. The
cause of the action can be explained.
Friends of those whose bodies were
missing employed a private detective
agency to search for the remains. The
friends had offered reward of $500 for
the recovery OF the missing bodies.
The private agency sent out thirty men,
previously provided with stars. Wheth-
er the stars carried the proper authority
is question INTO which the public did
not inquire. The reward was worth
working for, and the spirit in which the
thirty hired men worked was to find the
bodies themselves by preventing any
other persons from searching. Not
withstanding the vigilance of the spec
ialS the bodies were recovered by two
Frenchmen, brothers named Jeremy.

Private detectives are looked upon
with considerable suspicion by the
REGULARS" and the discriminating pub
lie. Not all private detectives are bad,
but great discredit has been brought
upon that class by those of the fraternity
whose methods are questionable, to put
it mildly. Too frequently the private
detective resorts to ''macing'' people
eXtorting money from criminals and
better people who are given to little
larks which it would not do for society
to know about. Jealous wives and nus
bands seeking separation can easily
find from this class of detectives the
food to fan the flame of jealousy or the
grounds for an action for divorce. The
Irregular detective and the better class
OF private agencies will not touch cases
of such character.

the landlord opened his eyes with WE'LL

Englishman was naturally enraged, but
he had no proof and no witness, and in
his extremity he sought the advice OF a
native lawyer. The wise man of the

1 note paragraph in yourissue of to-
day complaining of the conduct of an
East Seventh street cable car conductor
in emitting to pay attention TO the desire
of passengers to aiight from the car till
it had gone one block beyond the de-
sired point. When it is considered
what multifarious duties are imposed
Oh the eonduntors, and what a number
of passengers the cars carry between 5
and Z o'clock in the evening, it is only
surprising that there is SO little cause
for complaint. The travellers on the
line would, | am sure, one and all in
dorse the statement that the conductors
are an able, courteous and industrious
body of men, and perform their duties
with credit to themselves and to the sat-
isfaction of the travelling public.

hold of Secretary Tracy this morning,
whereby three persons lost their
lives and three others are badly ill.,
jured. The house is three stories
and "A basement, brick, situated on
J street between Connecticut avenue
and Seventeenth street. Persons
passing the house at : o'clock this
morning saw smoke issuing from the
front windows and at once raised an
alarm of fire. The fire and police de-
partments responded promptly, the
premises were almost concealed by
dense smoke. 1t was soon discovered
that the house was all ablaze
inside, and the main stairway
was burnt, thus cutting off communi-
cation with the sleeping apartments
on the second and third floors. Sew
eral streams of water were played on
the flames and every effort was made
to check the fire and rescue the in
mates. A scene of the widest confu-
sion ensued when it was known that
all the members of the family were in
the house. The firemen behaved like
heroes and went through the fire and
smoke in searching for them. Mrs.
Wilmerding, the secretary's daughter,
and Miss Wilmerding forced their
way through the binding smoke and
jumped from the secOnd-story window
front. Ladders were raised for them,
but in their excitement they failed
to see them. Mrs. Wilmerding
broke her left wrist and was severely
bruised. Her daughter was badly
injured about the lower limbs, but
broke no bones. They both suffered
severely from the shock. They were
taken TO the residence of Dr. Baxter
near by and restorativeS were APP
piled. While this scene was being
enacted in the front of the house, the
fremen were removing other MEM
bers of the family from the rear.
Chief Engineer Parish found Mrs.
Tracy lying on her bed, overcome by
the smoke. He carried her to will
dow and with the assistance of others,
carried her almost liteless body down |
the ladder and to the house of Mrs. |
Rneimon on Eighteenth street, she |
was then entirely unconscious and al |
though every effort known to medical |
science was used, it was impossible to |
save her life. She died within q few |
minutes after her rescue. She was |
not burned, but died of suffocaton. |
at the same time two more
bodies were taken from the burning
building. One was that of the secre-
tary's daughter, Miss Mary, a young
lady of IA years, and the other was
one of the servants; both bodies were
burned to a crisp, and were unrecog-
nizable by their features. The charred
were taken to the under
takers. Secretary Tracy himself had
a most wOndrous escape, and is now
lying in a somewhat precarious con-
1ition.
Carriages and messengers are stop
ping at the doors momentarily; with
Mrs. Tracy and Miss Tracy and Mrs.
Copipgton, Secretary Blaine's daugh-
Ter, all lying dead, Secretary Tracy
i'll, and his health perma-
aently impaired, government circles
joday are enshrouded in sadness and
gloom. President Harrison, as soon
rs he heard of the calamity, sent as

owed himself to inquire what assist
Ince he could render.
