Mr.. Howe's opinion OF his partner was
that he was rather eccentric indi7id-

confirmed upon his receipt Of the cable

stating that Emile Bregy, better known
as''French Emile" had been arrested
and fined for disorderly conduct the
Etght before. The report went on to
state that the poor crazy woman had fol-
1qwed Mr.. limerick, q prominent New
York merchant claiming that he was
her husband who had left her years ago.
The young man who read the para
kfaph was none other than Eugene
Bregy, the son Of the poor woman. He

where he had saved few hundred dol

A wELL-KNOwN MERCHANT DEAD
Mr.. f. B. Barnum Dies Suddenly Of
Heart Disease.

Mr.. Ezra B. Barnum. the head of the cloth
ing house Of E. b. Barnum Il Co., died sud
denly of heart disease yesterday afternoon at
his residence in LIE Droit Park. Mr., Barnum
has been sick for the past month. He suffered
from sharp pains in the region of the heart.
which was probably due to the affection that
resulted in his death. He was, however.
thought to be on the road to recovery and
on Sunday walked out for short time in front
of his house. Yesterday he went out for
drive which was extended as far as his store
on Pennsylvania avenue. Upon his return
home he went to his room and sat talking and
laughing with little girl who had come with her
mother to make call Mrs. Barpum was in the
room with the visitor, and also one of the daugh-
ters Suddenly Mr. Barnum groaned and fell
back in his chair dead. The startled family
could not realize that death had come. Medi-
cal assistance was at once summoned, but the
physicians upon their arrival could only in
form the family that he was beyond human
help.
Mr.. Barnum was we'll known in business circles
in this city. He was born in New York state
nfty-four years ago, and has been q resident of
THIS city Tor the past twenty-five years. He
was engaged in the clothing business on F
street Tor number of years. and about six
years ago he opened the store 931 Pennsylvania
avenue, where he conducted a successful bust
ness. He has been closely identified with the
work of the Young Mems Christian association
in this city, and at the time of his death he was
a member Of the board OF directors. He was
an elder in the Gurley Memorial church and
interested in the work of the associated chari-
ties and in that of other religious and charita-
BILE organizations.
At a meeting of the Y.M.C.A. last night ap-
propriate resolutions were adopted relative to
the death of Mr.. Barnum, who for nineteen
years has been member of the board Of di-
rectors.

A "Rush', at the High SCHOOL.

Friday at noon was the time selected for the
annual burial of the geometry at the high
school Heretofore all such buriais have re-
ceived the sympathy of the whole school, but
not SO this time for the class of 80 had to con-
tend against an overwhelming force of 81 and
'92 boys. Although the '90s were outnumbered
they were thoroughly organized and deter
mined, and besides carrying out their purpose
they succeeded after long struggle i'll drub-
bling their opponents.
The original idea of burying the book upon
the campus had to be rejected on account of
the frozen ground and the torch was applied
in its stead. The remnants of the burned book
were divided among the boys of 80 and some
pieces found their way into the hands of the
juniors, who proudly pinned them to their
coats.

The Building Lien Law Infamy.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
j quite agree with the demand of Zone of
Many" in yesterdays STAR for the repeal of the
infamous building lien law, which makes one
line OF business men privileged class without
regard to the rights of the rest of the COM
munity, and seriously retards the growth of the
city. Iagree with that writer also in the view
that there must be immediate and organized
action to secure this result, and / beg
to suggest that this is a matter that might
very properly be taken hold of and pushed by
the Board Of Trade. The purpose of that body,
as / understand it, is 10 advance the prosperity
OF the city. One of the surest ways to do this
is to secure the repeal of that odious and out
rageous law; and if the Board of Trade would
work half as vigorously to have it taken from
the statnte book as those who are specially
benefited by its provisions at the expense of
every other interest In the city do to keep it
there, feel sure it would be wiped out without
delay. Pho Bono PUBLIco.

The Crime Which Followed a Snrec.

VIM. Harrison, a young man indicted for
HOUSEKEEPING, plead guilty in the Criminal
Court this morning. Mr.. Albert Sellers, for
the prisoner, stated that the defendant had
been on a protracted spree and had spent quite
amount of money in the saloon into,which
he broke and took bottle of whisky and a
bundle of cigarettes. Assistant District Attor-
ney Lipscomb stated that the circumstances
had been correctly given and that it would be
agreeable to the office to suspend sentence.
The chief justice said that he had some doubts
as to the exercise of the right which properly
belongs to the pardoning power. 1t seemed to
him that the district attorney might enter a
noile prosequi.
The case went over till Saturday
