PURLOININa FROM THE GOVERNMENT

Laborer in the Pension Omco Arrested
and His Trunk Searched.
Detective Raft and Special Agent Brooks Of
the pension Office served a search warrant on
Erastus D. Adams, laborer in the pension
Office today, and arrested him and recovered
a number of articles alleged to have been pur-
Joined from the Office.
Mr.. Adams room. at No. 218 ~ street north
west, was searched, and in his trunk were found
two United States flags, quantity of writing
paper, several inkstands, sponge holders, boxes
Of rubber bands an6 more than a dozen boxes
of paper fasteners The property recovered
was taken to police headquarters and Adams
was subsequently arrested and also taken there
MIR. Volney E. Waffle, former employe Of
the pension bureau, was also requested to go
to police headquarters. The officers found
home in Minnesota In his trunk was an old
flag that had done duty on the pension build
ing, and with it he had certificate showing
that it had been given to him by Mr.. King, the
superintendent of the building.
The Old nag was not very valuable except as
a relic, and Mr.. Waffle was going to take it to
Minnesota to present it to the G. A. R. post re-
Gently organized
Mr.. Waffle was summoned as a witness and
Adams was held as defendant. His statement
was that he had picked up most Of the articles
from time to time until they had accumulated
which accounted for his having 30 many Of
them. What he did not pick up, he says, were
given to him from time to time and he put
them in his trunk.
Superintendent King says that he never gave
any flags away, although no says he has loaned
them to persons at various times.
Adams was locked up at the sixth precinct
station for hearing In the Police Court to-
morrow.

The Association Continues It's Session To-
dsy-Prof Riley's Interesting Paper.
The sessions Of the Association Of Economic
Entomologists were continued this morning.
The time was occupied with the reading and
discussion Of the papers, q list Of which was
printed in yesterdays STAR. Two sessions
were held and it was expected that final sd-
journment would be reached this afternoon.
An interesting paper was presented at the ses-
sion this afternoon by Prof. C. V. Riley on
Government Work We the Patent Office"
Prof Riley pointed out the injustice
that was being done to those engaged
in research under government auspices
by the system adopted by the patent Office.
No provision, he said, was made for the exam
ination OF the printed record Of the researches
made by the government, and individuals
availing themselves of these researches got out
patents based on the principles therein ex-
represented before the patent Office and there
was no one to conduct interference proceedings
or to take other appropriate action. In his own
department Prof. Riley said that there had
been q number of instances of patents issued to
individuals which did not rightfully belong to
them. He favored such change in the pres
emit method Of business in the patent Office as
would recognize the work done by government
officials and prevent individuals from using
what does not belong to them.
The following new members have been elected:
Messrs. Stinson of California Niswander of
Wyoming, Tuomey Of Arizona. Weed Of Missis-
sippi, Cordley and Chittenden of Washington,
Do, and Ouif Of New South Wales.

HE FIRED HIS POST OFFICE.
Arrest Of James Collier Of Fosterville, Va,
for Arson

Arrest Of James Collier Of Fosterville, Va,
for Arson
On June "a last the post Office at Fosterville,
Va, near Fredericksburg, was destroyed by
fra. The post Office was located in a country
store run by the assistant postmaster, James G.
Collier, and his brother. The small stock Of
merchandi.o was well insured and claim was
made at once fo- the loss sustained, which was
duly adjusted by the insurance company. The
postmaster, Robert A. Hughes, left Fosterville
in March, 1880, year and half ago, and has
been resident Of Fredericksburg ever since.
He left the post Office in the meantime in charge
Of his assistants.
The report Of the burning Of the post Office
and store was made to J. D. King. post office
inspector, in charge Of the Washington di-
vision, in which report it was claimed that all
the stamps and post Office supplies were de-
stroyed.
Inspector Sprosser was detailed to investi-
gate the matter, and the result is that today he
arrested James G. Collier, charged with setting
fire to the post Office building, and he is now
in Jail at fredericksburg: 1t was discovered
by Inspector sprosser tina. one of the Golfers
and Mr.. L. S. Pitts slept in room over the
post office while James G.. Collier slept in q
house about 200 yards opposite the store.
On Monday, June %, the Collier that slept
over the post Office went away on q visit, but
with his brother. the assistant postmaster. and
Jim" insisted also that Pitts sleep with him.
He did SO on June % and the night of the fire.
June %, Jim Collier treated Pitts quite literally
from a whisky bottle on the night of the 23d,
something new for him to do.
During the night Pitts reached over in bed
and discovered that Jim was not there. but he
was too sleepy to get up and look for him
Early in the morning Of the oath Jim" Collier
awoke Pitts and told him to look out the win
dow; that the store had been destroyed by fire
during the night and that everything in it was
burned up. Pitts first exclamation was that
his new suit Of clothes persisted in the flames,
but was comforted by Collier, who informed
him that he had brought the new suit over to
the house, together with other things from the
room above the post office, and thus saved them
from the fire.
The evidence against James G. Collier, the
assistant postmaster, is very strong, and the
penalty under the Virginia state laws for arson
is decidedly severe. Other arrests are likely to
follow.

THE PROPOSED FLOWER MARKET.

Consuls Have Been Instructed TO Furnish
the Commissioners Information
The Commissioners have received . letter
from Mr.. William F. Wharton, acting secretary
OF state. telling them that the consuls ct Lon
don, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Vienna and The
Hague have been instructed to furnish them
with plans and descriptions Of any public
flower markets that there may be in their re-
spective cities.
The proposition to establish flower market
In this city has been under consideration for
some time past and while - yet no definite
steps have been taken in the matter the prop.
osition has met with 60 much favor that it be-
gins to look a. though the flower market might
soon have an actual existence. A couple
OF months ago the matter was formally
brought to the attention Of the Commits
sioners in . petition from the florists
OF the District and there was something at once
=; ss as in tine
from the Commissioners 1t was at their request
that the representatives. Of this country in the
foreign capitals were instructed to forward any
information they might be able to get. In this
way 1t was hoped that many hints and valuable
suggestions could be got before going ahead
with the scheme.
WHAT WAS DONE N NEW YORK.
In New York the authorities this summer ar
ranged for An open-air flower market on Union
Square, where at certain hours in the early
morning the florists might stand their wagons
and display their flowers for sale. The plan
met with such instant favor that many people
have been wondering why IL was never intro
duced before, and already 1t is intended to
carry out the scheme on . much more ambi-
tious SCALE
In this city something more than an open-air
markets. wanted, and the plans now under con-
nderation provide, in q general way, for an at
Eactive bnilding, to be devoted entirely to
Moral booths. 1t 10 to be - near as possible to
the present Center market, possibly IN the adj
joining reservation It will be necessary either
to get an appropriation from Congress for the
purpose or else, as Commissioner Douglass
suggested today, to have the Commissioners
authorized to grant the florists Of the city per-
mission to erect such building for their own
use, under the supervision Of the District gov
eminent. So far, Of course, the whole matter
Is being held open for suggestion and discus
sion and all the movements have simply been
OF tentative character.
