lIAYMARKET SQUARE.
MIR. BAKER TAKES ISSUE WITH THE
ATTORNEY OF THE DISTRICT.

He Writes sharp Letter to the Commits.
siOnrrs-status Of the Square as Be-
tween the General aud District Gov
ernments and Market Company at
Issue.
Mr.. John a. Baker has written to the
Commissioners calling attention to errors
in the recent decision rendered by the
Attorney for The District in respect to the
relation of the District to the Wholesale
Market square.
lie says that the Attorney mistakes the
law when he asserts that the District
Government has the right to hold and use
it under "such rules and regulations as
the Market Company may prescribe and
that such regulations have been made or
prescribed and are probably on record in
the Office of the Commissioners
Mr.. Barker says that the right to hold
and use the square is conferred on the
City of Washington by section 10 of the
act approved March 20, 1870, which pro-
vides that the city government of Wash
ington shall have the right to hold and
use, under such rule and regulation as the
said corporation may prescribe, the open
space at the intersection of Ohio and
Louisiana avenue with Ienth ana twelfth
streets as q market for the purchase and
| sale OF certain articles.

| Baker "believes that Congress would

| and subject 1t to rules and regulations

easy to get decisions implying that the

Mr.. Baker quotes numerous authorities
in support of his statements, and in con
| Cluding says:

Mr.. John $. Goldsborough Takes His
Own Life.
About o'clock this morning John s.
Goldsborough, young man about 30
years of age, shot himself through the
head and an hour afterward was dead.
The ball, which was from 32.calibre
pistol, entered the head Just above the
left ear and plowed its way through the
suicides brain.
As he lay on his bed this morning in
his cosy chamber at the residence of his
face was blackened with powder and
from the hole made by the bullet the
blood ooZed out.
He lived with his married brother in a
pretty little house on New Hampshire
avenue, and for the past few days he has
been very melancholy and out of sorts.
No one for an instant thought, however,
that he would ever lay violent hands on

lowers of the famous Sioux chief, Spotted
Tail, who was treacherOusly killed about
ten years ago at Rosebud, S. Oak. He
made so favorable an impression that he
was by common consent of the Indians
selected as chief to succeed Spotted Tail
under the name OF lowering Eagle.
The Indians had the greatest respect for
their gentle white chief and instructor, and
he on his part, though he resigned the active
chleitaincy, was unreserved in the express
sion of his conviction that were the Indians
honestly and fairly treated and not left to
the mercy of unscrupulous land spectators
and agents the Indian problem could be set
tied permanently and peaceaby.
Father Craft was a native of New York
City, and was convert to the Catholic
faith. as was also his father, who was a re-
spected and eminent physician in that city
His zeal for the great and holy work Of civ

tested Itself from the early days of his
priesthood, and the affection with which he
was regarded by the rugged children of the
savage forest showed how admirably lie
was adapted for the sacred mission to which
he had been called. On the recent break

scene OF trouble, but. according TO the dis
patches, onlyto become martyr to his desire
for peace.

is fringed with hair of relatives. The eagle
feathers on the shoulders signify the name
of the chief, "Hovering Eagle" which
is also intended by the eagle lowering
above the nest and holding the council
pipe. Above the eagle is the Iudian
cross and circle of eternity; below is the
Dakota shield bearing the sun and cross
The missionary crucifix hangs on the breast.
Below the cassock are the frnged leggins
and moccasins embroidered with the Indian
art. The pipe is the chiefs pipe, called the
pipe of peace, or council pipe.
The cross aud other Christian symbols
were known to the Dakotas for more than
700 years, and were probably introduced by
either st. Brendan of Ireland or Bishop
Eric of Greenland.
