FOUR ARRESTS MADE.
Detectives theoretically Following Up the
Richards Murder Case.

Detectives theoretically Following On the
Richards Murder Case.
The detectives have made two arrests in con-
nection with the Cecil county, Md, tragedy.
The prisoners are George Bran and his SON.
George A. Bran. The former is fifty years of
age, the latter about twenty-four. The
son was taken into custody Monday night and
removed to Elkton, Nd, on q special train
The father was secured yesterday morning.
They lived at Pilottown, about q mile from the
Richards residence. Young Bran about q
month agowas arrested on a warrant sworn out
by Edward Riley, who charged Bran with rob
bling him Of considerable money.
The shoes Of Bran and his father have been
found to fit the footprints seen in the fields
near the Richards house and 82-caliber, six
shooting revolver found on the young man after
his arrest contains three exploded shells which
correspond in size with the bullet found in the
passageway. The young man denies his guilt,
but cannot account for his whereabouts on the
night the murder was committed.
People at his boarding house on Pierce street
and others, ne says, saw him in Baltimore that
night. There 10 no question that he went to
Rowiandville Monday afternoon ON the train
leaving Baltimore at o'clock. The opinion
appears to be strong near the scene Of the
tragedy that the prisoner was concerned in
Harvey Mackey searched the Bran dwelling
thoroughly, but faaled to discover anything
TO connect either father or SON with the MUIR
der or burglary. The pistol and footprints
were not regarded last night - conclusive Of
guilt.
State Attorney Evans last night received the
following message from Con1ey q Steel, de-
tsctives, York, Pa:
1--WE have two men that answer description
OF burglars. One had Light overcoat last night
and won't tell what he has done with IL One
d about twenty, the other twenty-Avs."

THE DISTRICT CENTENNIAL,
The Corner Stone Was Laid just a Ceutury
Ago Today.

Ago Today.
One hundred years ago today DIR. Elisha Cul-
len Dick, with all due ceremony aud solemnity
declared, well and truly laid' the corner
stone which marked the southeastern boundary
OF the District of Columbia. The story of this
occurrence-the birthday Of the District-has
been told in The STAR with all the details,
great and small, but it is due the occasion TO
make brief reference to the important event
which took place precisely a century ago.
IT WAS GREAT DAY.
On the morning of April Is, 1871, the Hon.
Daniel Carroll and the Hon. David Stuart, CON-
missioners appointed for the purpose, arrived
in the then wide-awake town Of Alexandria to
superintend the fixing" of the corner stone.
Alexandria realized that ID was a great day and
business was unanimously set aside. The mayor
and members OF the common council, together
with numerous Freemasons, formally called
upon the commissioners at John wise's
tavern at 8 o'clock in the afternoon. The call
was lengthy one, for as soon as the company
arrived dinner was served. At the conclusion
OF the feast large number of glasses were
filled with wine and an equally large number
OF gentlemen inverted them in response to the
sentiment, May the stone which we are about
to place IN the ground remain an immovable
monument Of the wisdom and unanimity of
North America
THE CORNERSTONE LAID.
The ''town sergeant" then organized pro-
cession, which proceeded to Jones Point, at
the mouth of Great Hunting creek, where Dr.
Dick, who was worshipful master of Alex
andris Washington Lodge, tapped the
stone with the instruments therefor
made and provided and the law was
fulfilled. A fiorid address was delivered by the
Rev. James Muir, ID. D., chaplain Of the lodge
and when its lofty eloquence was concluded the
company, or SO much of it as was invited. re-
turned to Wise's tavern for liquid invigoration,
in which Commissioner Thomas johnson of
Maryland had no part, because he failed to put
In an appearance. The two other commission
ers were there, though, and they remained
until the last toast was disposed of.
DIR. Dicks toast was received with great ap-
probation and its terms have been preserved:
May jealousy. that green-eyed monster, be
buried deep under the work which we have
this day completed, never to rise again within
the federal district"

To leave the letters and photograph in the trunk would be to in sure their discovery and confscation on the following morning, and that might create very embarrassing situation for me, as well as for the authors of the letters and their friends. Two two young men finally concluded to make an attempt to get the trunk open without removing the cords or breaking the seals, and as the let ters and photograph were near the bot even if the trunk were unlocked, they de- cided to take out part of the bottom and afterward to replace it. By working all the rest of the night they succeeded in getting out one of the bottom boards, ob- tained the dangerous letters and the pho tograph, put the board back without dis turbing any of the seals, and when the police came in the morning stood by with unruffied serenity and saw the trunks searched.

 Sir William Jenner lately sent to the Lancet an article on "The Appearance Observed in Bodies Burnt to Death," on which the editor remarks: Our readers will notice that one of the main features in the conclusions arrived at is the refutation of the popular idea that "burnt to death" is in most cases an extremely painful process. On the other hand, it will be observed that, although in the majority of instances life is destroyed by suffocation, there are some in which the post-mortem signs prove that ere life is extinguished the fiery element exerts it's intrinsic physi- cal action upon the unhappy victims. It must not be conceded, however, that where the bodies show signs of burning during life there has necessarily been a commensurate degree of suffering, for in all probability, while the skin still retains it's vital reaction to fire (as proved by the resulting hyperemia and vesicstion), in sensibility, partial or complete, has su- pervened on exposure to the sufocating fumes.
 The city of Birmingham, England, is planning new system of water supply which involves an outlay of some $25 ,000, 900, and nearly 80 miles of conduits, tun- nels and pipes to bring the water to the city. The present consumption of the city, which is some days as high as 22,- 00O,000 gallons, is rapidly exhausting the capacity of the water shed from which it is now drawn, and the municipal authori- ties have selected as site of the new res ervoirs valley in Wales in which two rivers join. The valley is high, 800 feet above the city, is surrounded by region practically uninhabitable, thus making the future pollution of the water improbable, and the supply is regarded as inexhaust- able. The engineering difficulties are great, and include first the erection of dams which vii! make the first reservoir something over three miles long; then come nine miles of tunnel, principally through rock, 35 miles of conduit over and under the surface, and 35 miles of pipe. The plan contemplstes. five reservoirs in all, all connected and all independent and scattered over an area of some 70 square | miles.
