THE SUNDERLAND MYSTERY.
No Further Light Thrown Upon the Blo<
Found at the Pastors House.

No Further Light Thrown Upon the Blood
Found at the Pastors House.
The mystery surrounding the finding Of the
blood in the house of DR.. Byron Sunderland
early yesterday morning, as published in yes
terday's STAR, has not yet been cleared away
although Detective Carter investigated every
possible clue. Where the blood came from will
probably never be known, except to the person
or persons who lost it or we're responsible for
its splitting. 1t is evident that the person or
persons who figured in the mysterious affair
belonged outside the Sunderland household,
for the footprints of blood led more than a
square away from the house. Mrs. Sunderland
was the first to hear the noise and it was then
about o'clock in the morning. 1t sounded to
her like the falling of a persons body to the
floor and she awakened the doctor in time for
him to hear the second noise, which was of a
similar sound. The colored servants Annie
and Maggie, were called. but they made no re-
Spouse. The doctor naturally thought that
burglars were in the house and, knowing he
could not stand a struggle with such desperate
persons, he remained in his room.
AS stated in yesterdays STAR the discovery
was not made until the servant, Maggie, went
down stairs to let the milkman in.
THE GIRL FRIGHTENED AT THE SIGHT.
The sight OF the blood frightened he- so
badly that she screamed and ran back upstairs
and aroused the doctor and Mrs. Sunderland,
who dressed and came down stairs with her
Both servants said that they retired about 10
o'clock, but two young colored men who we're
seen by Detective Carter say that Annie went
with them to ''parior social in South WASH
ington and did not return until about O'Clock.
Even then that was two hours before the
noise was heard in the house. The young men
are both respectable and they said that they
did not stop at the house after returning from
the '.parlor social"
The first pool of blood was on the landing
at the top Of the steps leading from the base
ment TO the main floor. Blood stains were
along the steps, and on the basement floor at
the foot of the steps was another pool of fresh
blood, while near the front door was still
another pool.
Near this was a small piece Of tallow candle,
and from the grease on the floor it was evident
that the candle had burned some time.
As stated yesterday there was no evidence of
an entrance having been effected by burglars.
and hey ond pair of shoes belonging to one of
the servants nothing was missing and it is pos
sible that the shoes had been mislaid.

THE RAILROAD CROSSINGS.
Something to BE Done to Prevent the
Slaughter of Human Life.

Slaughter Of Human Life.
1t looks very much as though something will
shortly be done to protect the dangerous cross
ings in the District. Commissioner Douglass
has given this subject considerable study of
late, and on more than one occasion has en-
deayored to bring the matter before the board,
but something always interfered Today he
drafted the following order, which was sub
mitted to the board this afternoon and passed:
THAT a statement and map be prepared by
the engineer department of all steam railroad
crossings at or near grade in the District where
the said railroad crossings are not but should
be protected by gates or otherwise"
Speaking of the above to a STAB reporter
Commissioner Douglass said:
Its about time something was done to pre-
vent this wholesale slaughter Of human life
due to Unguarded railroad crossings. am sure
the railroad companies will not object if We
compel thom to provide safety gates at UNI
guarded crossings, for they don't relish killing
people any more than we do having them
Killed. The outcome of this order will be that
the Commissioners viii order the railroad COM
panies to provide safety gates for all un-
guarded crossings"

DIR. Purvis Says the Location Would BE \
Nuisance 70 the Freet,man's Hospital.
The Commissioners today received a letter
from Secretary Noble. in which he inclosed
copy of a letter from the surgeon-in-chief of the
Freedman's Hospital Objecting to the location
of the base ball grounds adjoining the hospital
grounds. The letter from DIR. Purvis says that
he cannot conceive of greater nuisance than
base bail park and that the games attract the
noisiest and some of the worst elements Of the
community. As two Of the main buildings adj
join these grounds the annoyance to the pa
tients would be intolerable, and he thought the
Secretary OF the Interior should call the atten-
ton of the Commissioners to it so they could
refuse to Issue n permit for the erection of
seats, de-; il not possible through Of the at
torneys of the departments an injunction through
the court might be obtained. The Secretary
SAYS in his letter Of transmission that he shall
be pleased if the Commissioners can aid the
government in protecting the quiet of the insti-
tuition.

CASHIER DONALD TESTIFIES.
He Denies Owenbey's Statements and Tells
His Relations With Him.

His Relations With Him.
Mr.. J. NJ. Donald, cashier of the Hanover
National Bank. who testified heretofore before
the silver pool investigating committee that he
had no knowledge with regard to congressional
silver speculations, again appeared before the
committee today for the purpose of replying
to statements made by the witness Owenbey
that he Donald) was his chief informant in
the matters of which he (Owenbey) testified.
He testified that he had voluntarily left New
Orleans for Washington as soon as he read
Owenbey's testimony in the newspapers.
HE DENIED owENBEYs sTATEMENTs.
He denied absolutely Owenbeys statements of
an arrangement with witness by which Owen
hey was to receive a share of the profits in
silver speculation in consideration of informa-
ton to be furnished. Owenbey had asked wit
ness to carry silver for him on margin and wit
ness had absolutely refused TO do so He also
denied all the statements Of Owenbey to the
effect that witness had stated to Owenbey that
Congressman we're interested in silver specula-
ton, and further declared that he had never
had silver transaction in his life.
HIS INTEREST IN TIKI SILVER BILL
Witness had not the slightest interest in the
silver BILL except as to the SIS 900 900 national
bank redemption clause and the making of
silver certificates legal tender SO that il could
form part OF the banks reserve. He testified
that one day Owenbey was in his Office and saw
q Senate envelope. Owenbey eyed it and re-
marked: 81 know the handwriting. Tits that OF
the secretary Of so-and-so."
Witness did not say whose writing il was but
did say to Owenbey that If he dared ask the
Senator he would tell witness all about the sill
yer bill. Witness explained his statement to
Owenbey by Saying that he had previously
asked the Senator several questions and did mot
feel like taking up his time with further in
quiries. This was in June
THE PAYMENTS TO owRNBEY.
Mr.. Donald testified that ESQ Of the amount
the Hanover Bank through witness had paid
Owenbey was for information regarding the
silver bill; 500 more was by direction Of .
North Carolina bank correspondent, for whom
Owenbey had done some service and through
whom witness met Owenbey, and there were
some smaller amounts paid ~ loans and
expenses. The principal thing Owenbey sent
witness was a printed copy mot written one)
of the original silver bill. Owenbey never
claimed any share in any silver profits from
witness, and there was no difficulty between
them when they came 10 settle up.
To Mr.. Dingley the witness stated that the
letter from q Senator Of which he had testified
did not relate to speculation, but was a re-
spouse to a request for information as 10 the
progress of the silver bill.
His testimony was . general and specific de-
niai of all the substantial points Of Owenbey's
testimony.
Adjourned until tomorrow.
