He Answers the Last Call BraveIy After
Much Suffering.
Just as the hour of midnight had tolled on
Friday night Thomas r. Newman, member of
Truck A of the District Columbia Fire Depart
ment, who was injured in the collision between
the truck and cable car % on the night of De-
cember 10, 1890, at the corner of Seventh and ID
streets, was called from this earth to answer
the call in the world beyond. Ever since the
accident he has been great sufferer, but with
it all he stood it as heroically as he had on
many occasions while in the discharge of his
duties. His death came easy and as the sound
Tor the last alarm came he responded never to
be called on earth again. Mr.. Newman entered
the service July l, 1885, and has been on CON
tinuous service ever since. He has acted on sew
eral occasions as foreman and discharged his
duties as only those of the members do.
He was always ready and willing
to help, and the familiar name
of Doc, as he was called, will never be heard
agaiu Throughout his delirium on last Thurs
day evening he was continually calling out 1875.
This was the number of the box pulled for the
fire at Mertz's drug store on the evening that
he met his accident. Assistant Chief William
I. Belt, of the Second Battalion, had been a
daily attendant at his bedside, and when he
met his old chief he always greeted him with a
smile, yet even during his deirium the chief
was always recognized when others he could
not call.
A detachment of twenty-three men has been
detailed to attend the funeral, under the direc-
tion OF Chief Belt. Mr.. Newman leaves wife
and three children to mourn his loss. The fu-
neral will take place to-day from his late resi-
dence, . ID street southeast, at O'clock.

Avoid Presidential Veto.

Anti-Pool-sellihg Bill Passed-Effort to
Avoid Presidential Veto.
The "bill to prevent book-making and pool
selling in the District of Columbia" which
passed the Senate yesterday, is in these words:
That it shall be unlawful for any person or as
soclatlon OF persons in the cities of Washington
and Georgetown, in the District of Columbia or
WITHIN SAID District within one mile of the
boundaries OF said cities, to bet, gamble or make
books or pools on the result of any trottng race
or running race of horses. boat race or race of
any kind, or on any election or any contest of
any kind or game of baseball
Sec. 2. That any person or association of per-
sons violating the provisions of this act shall be
fined not exceeding $500 or less than S25, or be
imprisoned not more than ninety days, or both,
at the discretion OF the court.
AS the bill did not take in the race course. a
question was made by Mr.. Hoar as to its not
doing SO. Mr.. Ingalls, explained that the bill
was an attempt on the part of the committee to
adjust the topography of the District to the
conscience of the Executive, IA similar bill hay
ing been vetoed last SESSION. 1t was a serious
effort on the part of the committee to avoid the
difficulty by exclusion, so that if the Executive
chose to veto the bill he would have to exercise
process OF deduetiVe reasoning. Pool-selling
on race courses was not very mortal offense,
and never had been visited with any special Sc
verify by the laws of any community
To suggestion that the bill was intended to
apply particularly to pool-selling and gambling
as practiced by negroes in the northwestern part
OF the city, Mr. Edmunds remarked that the
only racesthat it did not apply to was the horse
race.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Hoar, to ex-
tend the provisions of the bill to the whole Dis
tilct, was disagreed to-yeas, g; nays, 39-and
the bill was passed.
