Have Multiplied.
There was fishing galore between the Treas
ury and the White House. The water in the
fountain there was drawn off this morning and
man with large dip net went forth and
scooped up the fine specimens Of red carp or
goid nsh that have made the foun-
tain very interesting this summer. II
was found that the fish had multiplied
very largely. About fifty large iash were nut
into the fountain in the spring and Il was esti-
mated that fully three hundred were taken ont
tooay. Most OF them, OF course, were small. II
u thought that some of the larger specimens
were stolen from the fountain.
The large fish will be placed in the fountain

SQUIRE BEASLEY's DEATH.
An Autopsy Show 1t to Have Been From
Apoplexy and not Poison.

An Autopsy Show 1t to Have Been From
Apoplexy and not Poison.
Squire Beasley, young colored man, who
expected to marry Adeline Hawkins in few
weeks, died last evening under circumstances
which required an official investigation.
He had not yet celebrated his twenty
first birth day. For some time he had boarded
at the house of his prospective mother-in-
law, Mrs Hawkins, at No. 800 Delaware
avenue northeast, and she considered
him as one Of her own children.
He was employed in a stone yard and
yesterday morning he got up as usual and went
to work, although be did not feel very well and
did not eat any breakfast before going
When he returned home about o clock he
complained OF having a sick headache, and
his intended bride bound his head in vinegar
and brown paper. He then went to his room.
but in a few minutes Adeline heard him groan
as though in pain. and when she reached his
room she found him in intense agony and
frothing at the mouth.
DR.. Hopper was sent for but when he reached
the house Beasley was dead. From the man
ner In which he died the doctor expressed the
belief that he had been poisoned.
The police were notified of the death of
Beasley, and Officer Curtis in making the in
vestigation was informed that there was a girl
other than Addie Hawkins who loved the young
man, but he secured no proof to show that
poison had been administered BY any one
The dead body was removed to the morgue
In the ninth precinct patrol wagon, and this
morning the deputy coroner made an autopsy
The result of the examination showed that
death was caused from apoplexy.

The Heal Danger Of the Cigarette.

From the Medical Record
1t is not the cigarette smoked in the ordinary
fashion that does harm; it is in the inhalation
OF smoke. This introduces quickly and de-
ightfully narcotic poison into the system
and awakens in the habitue a sensation AS de-
hghtful as that produced by opium. The Sc
robustness Of the cigarette to inhalation lies
not alone IN the fact that il involves
a steady absorption CT poison, but in
the utter hopelessness of the habit and
the entire inability of the indulger 10 give
IT up. Once cigarette inhaler, always one.
In this respect il resembles with painful SINH
larity the opium habit, TO which il has many
points Of resemblance. One may stop tie use
OF the pipe or cigar or the Use Of tea or beer or
whisky, but the morphine and tobacco-inhala-
ton habits, If well established, are practically
incurable.
Tobacco smoke contains aqueous vapor, car
bon SCOT, nicotine, traces of certain organic
acids and OF such hydrocarbons as creosote
and of products of the sniline series, such a.
pyroline. Ii is the nicotine, however, which
probably does the harm.

PAVING BETWEEN THE TRACKS.
Capt Rossen Recommends That Railroa
Companies May Use yitrifed Brick.

Capt Rossen Recommends That Railroad
Companies May Use yitrified Brick.
The computing engineer of the District, Mr..
George H. Bailey, in a letter to Capt. Rossell
recently regarding the improvement of New
York avenue between North Capitol street and
Florida avenue invited attention to what ap-
pears to be serious defect in the asphalt
pavements as applied to the space occupied by
street railroads. He states that he has OBJ
served that in nearly every case where such q
pavement has been used between tracks and
between rails it rapidly disintegrates and soon
needs repairs. He thinks that the substitution
OF vitrifed brick or smooth block pavement
might remedy all the evils, and is of the opinion
that vitrlfied brick pavement laid on hydraulic
cement base will be found durable and no more
expensive than frst-class asphalt pavement.
Capt Rossen has recommended that the rail-
road company be permitted to lay this pave
ment If they desire, at lite own risk.

To Stimulate Gold Imports.

The director of the mint, with the approval
OF the Secretary OF the Treasury, today issued
special instructions to the superintendent OF
the United States assay Office in New York city
that in cases of deposits of foreign gold coin or
foreign gold bars at the United States assay Of
flee at New York such approximation of the
value of the bullion delivered as in the dis
erection of tho superintendent may be regarded
safe and proper, not to exceed 30 per cent OF
the value, will be paid pending melt and assay
OF course the government cannot legally
make payments for the value of gold shipped to
this country until it is actually received at the
counter in New York. The only thing it can
legally do is to expedite the payment. thus
saving interest to the importer, which the di-
rector has sought to accomplish by the above
regulation.
