WAITING FOR THE END.
Mr.. Randall Near Death-His Family at
His Bedside.

Mr.. Randalrs condition up to O'Clock today
can be summed up tersely in the words of the
attending physician, DR.. Mailon: s'Mr. Randall
may die as We are talking and he may live
during the day."
Constantly growing weaker, yet still able to
rally and retaining remarkable hold on life,
Mr.. Randalls long fight for life still continues
Last night was fearfully trying one for the
anxious attendants at the bedside
Between 2 and 8 o'clock the patient
seemed to be sinking rapidly and
death was expected at any moment. About
daybreak, however, a wonderful rally came and
tne immediate danger was warded off. Since
tnen the condition of the patient has been prac-
tically unchanged, although every hour shows
the dying man to be in o weaker condition.
he 10 still partly conscious and continues to
take nourishment. Every one has given up
all hope Of Mr.. Randalrs living even for q
short time, and members of the House of
Representatives are expecting the sad tidings
OF his death every moment.
The callers have been numerous at Mr.. RAN
dail's house today, although no one has been
admitted to the sick room. Secretary Blaine
has been daily caller, and
this morning the Vice President was
among the anxious friends who sought for in
formation at the little house on Capitol Hill.
Mrs, Randall and her daughters are almost
worn out by the constant vigil, but with
unwavering courage they still retain their
posts at the bedside, without hope, but con-
slant in their efforts to smooth the last hours
OF beloved life.
President Harrison calls every evening or
sends to inquire after the sick man and keeps
the sick room well supplied with choice flowers
from the White House conservatory.
3:15 p.m.-There was no change in Mr. Ran
dalls condition at this hour

Wounds He is Sent to Jail.

ties they were today informed that George

by the Chinaman. Lee Quong, at No.
Sl3 Pennsylvania avenue, bad 80 far re-
covered as to admit of his
removal from the Freedman's Hospital. The
sixth precinct patrol wagon was sent for him
and he spent last night in that station, and this
morning he was brought to police headquarters,
where his description taken, and he was
photographed for the rogue's gallery. He was
then taken to the Police Court. where he
plead guilty and was committed to Jail in de-
fault of 81 600 bail to await the action of the
grand jury.
The two balls which entered Carriers back
are still in his body and he appears to be very
weak. He says that the effect of the shooting
has been to leave him with shortness OF
breath.
II will be remembered that the Chinamau
was awakened by hearing some one in his
laundry: that he fired at the intruder and
that Carter was wounded. 1t was subsequently
stated that Carter had robbed several Other

THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.
The Commissioners Against tho George.
town Railway Company's Project.

The House District committee today received
| from the Commissioners their report on the
proposed extension Of the charter of the
Georgetown Barge. Dock, Elevator and Railway
Company. The bill, as printed in The STAR,
allows the company to extend their line from
the present terminus, along the river front and
| connecting with the Pennsylvania system q,
the Long bridge.
The Commissioners do not seem to take to
the idea, as they say: "As the road will be a
steam railway and as its line takes possession OF
certain streets and passes through what is pro-
posed for public reservation or park, they are
Of opinion that the bill should not pass
NEXT MONDAY DISTRICT DAY IN THE HOUSE.
Next Monday will see the debate on the Rock
Creek or Columbus Park bill resumed in the
House, as the District will have possession of
the day and the Columbus Park is the unfin-
ished business At the last session the bill was
taken up by section for amendment, but only
two sections were reached when dilatory
amendments prevailed. There is very little
question in the minds of the friends of the
measure but that the bill will pass.
ROOM FOR THE WAGON ROAD.
Senator German this morning came to the
defense of the wagon roads that radiate from
this city. The bill under consideration was
the one which authorizes the Brightwood
Railroad Company to build branch
line to Takoma Park. Mr.. German said
he wanted the bill amended SO as to
provide that the company shall not crowd the
farmers of the narrow road that runs from 7th
street road TO Takoma. He thought some such
amendment was necessary, because, he said,
the Tenieytown Railroad Company had monopo-
lized the Tenleytown road by permission OF the
District Commissioners. He not satisfied
to leave this matter to the judgment of those
officials. The bill went over for few minutes
while Senator German drafted an amendment,
which will give the farmer at least 30 feet of
clear roadway alongside the proposed extern
sion.
TIE amendment was agreed to by Senator
Harris, who was in charge Of the bill, and the
bill was passed.
LAW BOOKS FOR HOWARD UNIVERSITY,
Senator Evarts, from the committee on the
library, today reported the resolution granting
to the law department of Howard University
duplicate copies of all law books in the govern
ment Libraries, ana providing that copies Of all
new law books purchased by the government
for public use be also sent to the Howard
University. The resolution was adopted.

The Blythe Will Case.

SAN Francisco, April 12.-Evidence was
closed in the celebrated Blythe will case yester-
day. The contest was begun for q $4,000, 900
estate on the 18th of July, and Yesterday was
the one hundred and seventy eighth day of
actual trial The strongest case has been made
by Florence Blythe, fifteen-year-old girl,
whose mother was seduced by old Blythe on
one of his visits to England. He acknowledged
the girl as his daughter and corresponded with
her, but did not adopt her according to the
California law. The other chief claimant is
Alice f. Dickinson, who claims to have been
married to Blythe by verbal contract, but who
only proved that she was his mistress. One Of
the best cases has been made by what are
known as the Gypsy Blythes Of Kentucky, who
trace their descent from Betty Savage, who
married Blythe's father. As counsel for each
OF the claimants will be given a chance for ar
gument they will consume fully month or
more.
