A special cable dispatch to TIE srAR from
Rome says: The visit Of Archbishop walsh 10

THE WASHINGTON PRODUCE MARKET
The Egg Market Takes big Tumble and
Then q Twist Upward.

A casual stroller through the big Center Mar
ket this morning would not have observed any
thing unusual, as prices ruled pretty much the
same on nearly all Commodities as prevailed
during the previous part of the week. 1t is
doubtful. though, II ever the egg market fiuc-
tuated so widely or wildly as ii has the past few
days, and there are some tolerably ill-humored
dealers in the city and others who have cause
to rejoice and at the same time feel like
Trailing themselves for not doing better.
The Washington prices for eggs are largely
controlled by New York demands and quota
tions. Last Tuesday eggs brought rs cents u
dozen In New York at Wholesale, and that. to-
gether with the stiff tendency of the market Of
the Few days preceding, had the effect of draw
ing large nearby supply to Washington.
The quotations of Wednesday afternoon showed
DROP OF EIGHT CENTS DOZEN
and then veritable 'huck-fever" shook up
the Washington dealers and scramble began
or Thursday to unload. The ruling figure got
down to 16 cents and some let their holdings go
at 10 cents and laughed in their sleeves at the
march they had stolen on their neighbors
While in this uncertain and almost demoralized
condition a telegram came from Brooklyn
dealer asking what he could get Sob lot for
In this city. After a hasty consultation 10
cents was the price telegraphed back, with a
Wow VI iiitrely IeeillS IOr u QlSpOsltlOn OF
the stock on hand at lower figure. To the
surprise of all
HE CLEANED UP THE MARKET
at the price quoted and left Washington in
almost an eggless condition, as far as the whole
sale supply was concerned. Friday morning
the market, under q light receipt. started off
az Is and closed yesterday evening at u cents.
Early this morning the market was in a very
feyerish condition, but holding firmly at clos
ing prices of yesterday 1t was in such a con-
ditlon, however, that slight demand would
run it way up. Later they went up to %. then
% and finally % at wholesale on q scarce sup
ply. and may close tonight at higher figures
still.
POULTRY AND BUTTER
are running along about the same. the former
being controlled somewhat by the observance
OF the Lenten season. The receipts of fancy
creamery butter are sufficient for all require
m,ents, but the most inquiries are for medium
grades at moderate cost.
Oranges are advancing as the season pro-
crosses and apples are about as high as they
can well be to find any sale at all. A few straw
berries are to be seen, but are so inharmonious
with the weather that many turn UP their noses
at them. They found such q cool reception
upon their advent a week or so ago that huck-
sters vainly attempted to push them of around
the streets.
Everything, however, for the past few days
has paled before the egg furry.

AN ATTRACTIVE NEW HOME.
The Handsome Building to Be Occupied by
the West End National Bank.

the West End National Bank.
On Monday the West End Bank will take pos
session of its handsome new building, 14l5 G
street. This will boa gratifying as well as a SUBJ
ssahtiai celebration Of the fact that this insti-
tuition has just passed the first anniversary
mile stone in its existence. Since its organiza-
ton In January, 1850. the bank has been located
ut the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 18th
street, but the growing business demanded
more central place. and accordingly the site or
Il street was selected and a handsome building
has been erected. The granite front is an archi-
tectural addition to that locality of great
merit. The design, which was executed by the
architect, Appleton P. Clark, ir., is simple but
effective. The rock-face surface Of the rugged
granite gives the character Of stability and
permanence to the building, which is in har-
mony with that of the institution whose home
1t Is. The front is finished with plain parapet
Of stone and below is the cornice, with a frieze
OF dressed stone relieved by dental course
and crown molding. There is bit of carving
here and there. but it relieves the plainness and
does not weaken the effect. Above the great
window in the first story appears the name of
the bank in bold block letters.

tected by handsome iron grill, is the bank

THE ROHAN CASE.
An Interesting Amir which Has Been Full
of Surprises.

An Interesting Anhir which Has Been Full
of Surprises.
Another chapter has been added to the Ro-
han case IN New York, which ID considered one
Of the most interesting in criminal annals.
Charles de AFFORD Rohan is accused of having
burglarized the residence Of Joseph Cohen,
wealthy merchant of New York city, at No. I76
East 18th street, on April Is, 1885. Property
valued at $50 was carried of. Rohan and
young woman named Maud Wilton occupied
room near the Cohen residence and Rohan was
suspected Of the crime, with the woman as an
accessory. Rohan fed and the burglar was not
arrested until last November at the expiration
of a term in the Ohio penitentiary in Colu M
bus. His Identification was brought about in
the summer Of 1886 through q visit of one Of
the penitentiary keepers to relatives Of the
woman, of whom Rohan rented the room in
New York city. He was brought to New York
and tried in Japuary last, the Jury failing to
agree. He is still in Jail awaiting second trial
Some time ago an affidavit was received In
New York in which one Shaw a convict in the
Columbus penitentiary. claimed to be the
burglar. Not much confidence was put in this.
but 1t was thought best to investigate the story.
photograph OF him was obtained and sent to
Frank koehne in New York, at whose house
Rohan was staying when the burglary was COM
mitted. Mrs. Mary Koehne has written to
Columbus saying: THE man on photo is an
entire stranger to me. and how he dares to
state that he, and not Rohan, occupied the room
exhibits more check than one would give him
credit for. He may not be experienced in his
business, but he certainly is in lying. In fact,
l never doubted that Roman is the man. Still
might have been mistaken, but feel perfectly
satisfied now that have not the honor Of an
acquaintance with Mr.. Shaw"
kohan has been pretty well identified, but
even Mrs. koehne Acknowledges there may be
a mistake. The one-time Maud Wilson has
since reformed and married and is now the re-
spected mother of q family. She concealed her
identity in court where she had to appear by
wearing veil, and her present name and resi-
dence has never been published. 1t is claimed
that Shaw's confession is part Of plot to free
kohan, and that he, Shaw, was serving term
in the Missouri state prison when the Cohen
burglary was committed.

A MICROBE OF THE GRIP.
DR.. Gentry of Chicago Claims to Have
Captured "Star Dust"

DR.. Gentry of Chicago Claims to Have
Captured "star Dust"
DR.. VIM. D. Gentry of Chicago claims to be
the possessor Of a microbe Of the grip, the first
ever captured or even heard of. The little
wriggler is imprisoned on the glass slides of
DR.. Gentrys big: microscope, and was yester-
day carefully inspected by many persons.
Ever since the grip made its appearance year
ago the doctor has been searching for the
microbes, if any existed. He found that
thirty-four years ago; and again sixteen years
ago, the grip was epidemic among human
beings, and seventeen years ago it attacked
horses, causing the stil-remembered ''epi-
zootic." Owing to the recurrence Of the
disease DR.. Gentry was inclined to believe that
the earth at such intervals passed through a
astronomers call s.star dust
Four days ago it occurred to him that he
might trap some Of the dust or microbes, or
whatever it was. Carefully polishing blank
slide, he took it out doors and passed 1t through
the air. Placing the slide under his micro
scope, which magpitied LILO times, he counted
seven heretofore unidentified microbes in the
field OF the instrument. The creatures were
very lively, and seemed to flow or swim upward
toward the glass. Before the doctor could Sc
cure the microbes they had disappeared.
Inc next Gay, WIN tne rev 1T. 6lSgS OF the
Rogers Park Methodist Church, DR.. Gentry
tried again and found more. Again they es-
capped, but by using micro-glasses he secured
the next lot and had them mounted for the mi
croscope. His next step was to procure some
mucus from a patient afflicted with the grip,
and the same sort of microbes were found in
the mucus that had been caught in the air
identical in every respect.
The grip microbes, as described by DR.. Gen
try, are generally Of O round form, varying oc-
casionally in outline, but always distinctly
marked by series of seven lines surrounding
them. Radiating from these lines are other
lines which, in the magnifed image. resemble
fine Irregular hairs. DIR. Gentry's entire time
has been occupied in exhibiting the microbes
to brother physicians, and in beginning tech
nical account of the discovery for the benefit
of the profession.
