HIS HEAD CRUSHED In.
wstchman Hambright Murdered for
His Money.


SPRINGFIELD, ONO, Feb. 23.-A post
mortem examination was made yesterday
afternoon of the remains of William H..
Bambright, the watchman murdered late
Saturday night at the shops of the a. G..
Evans Manufacturing Company. The
top OF his skull was caved in, the fracture
extending from ear to ear and clear around
to the back of the neck.
Hambright was discovered in the fuel
room of the cupola, lying. in. a pool of
blood. An examination OF the dead mans
pockets showed that his weeks wages,
S11.25, were gone.
The murderer, apparently, stood on q
p lie Of coke behind the door, intending, it
Is believed, to knock him senseless. The
coke slid as he got ready, causing Ham,
bright to turn around, when the murderer
struck him with piece of scantling four
and half feet long.

ON DISTRICT SANITATION.
Complaint of the Neglect of the Healt
OfiCer.


Chairman Grout of the House District
Committee to-day received complaint
from Mr.. A. Hoyt complaining of the
lack of sanitary precautions in this city.
Mr.. Hoyt says that the law relating to
contagious diseases is good one, but that
the physicians of the city, on account of
the unreliable character and neglect of
duty on the part Of the Health Officer, do
not cooperate with him. At this time
says Mr.. Hoyt, this matter is more than
politics to Washington. 1t is a matter of
sickness, suffering, expense and, perhaps,
death to many.
The general sanitary condition of the
city is described as deplorable. Chairman
Grout is importuned to secure for Wash
ington a better administration of the
Health Department.
A number of letters in character SINH
lar to that of Mr.. Hoyt have been re-
ceived by General Grout. They came
from every section of the city.

THE DISTRICT FAILED TO GET ITS

Deprive the District Of Legislation
Not Probable IL VIII Get Another
Opportunity at This session--Regu-
lar Proceedings In Senate and House.
In the language of Tom Coakley, the
Tammany brave, the House of Represen-
tatives this morning gave "the marble
heart to this town. This was regular
District day--the last District day indeed
Of the session.
When the House met at IL o'clock Mr..
Cannon, the chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee. moved to go into COM
mittee of the whole for the consideration
of the General Deficiency bill. A vote
was taken and Cannon carried his point,
and the District thereby lost its last chance
to set through this session any of its
only prospect of anything further in the
interest OF the District being now legis-
lated for lies in the possible action that
the friends of the District may induce
conference committees to insist upon.
This, with Of course, diversions to be
expected, as they are always imminent at
the building on Capitol Hill, Is to be o
Houses. Some other matters will come
between these bills now and then, but IL
will remain that the consideration of bills
making provision for the expenses of the
Government for the next fiscal year will
involve about all that will furnish legisla-
tion.
There have been reports to the contrary.
II was put forth last night that the House
Democrats intended to iilibuster over the
journal so that the accomplishment of
the necessary business would not be con-
summated. II was also reported that the
Republican managers would, under Mr..
Reed, step in with drastic programme
proclaiming all Democratic tactics as of a
filibuste:ing character to be not in order
and thus ride along without reference to
those tactics.
II was not long after the House met be-
fore these rumors were dispelled as is the
haze before bright sun. To-day was
what is known as District Day." that is
calendar date set aside for the consider
alton of business relating TO the District of
Columbia. If the Democrats had been in
the filibustering mood they could have
used the District day to that end. But
they didnot. They allowed the General
Deficiency bill to be taken up without try
ing to use District day as cushion. There
will be attempts in either House to tack
upon the several appropriation bills legis-
lation for which there is no chance of sue
cess upon its own merits.
The Senate will for instance, tack upon
the General Deficiency bill provision foI
payment of the French spoliation claims
An effort in favor of the payment of the
direct tax will also be attempted through
the same Intermediary vehicle. Other
things of the same kind are on the taps
But the chances of these coming out whole
from the conference committee ordeals
are like the dress of the girl who wanted
to show how generously nature had en-
dOwod her physically. That is, thes,

KINDNESS 10 ANIMALS.
An Era of Progress Which Benefits TIN
Brute Creation.

An Era of Progress Which Benefits tho
Brute Creation.
One of the best signs of the time is
the greater regard the mass of men
have for the domestic animals that
serve them. 1t shows progression in
civilization nothing else could. When
the millennium comes, to which the
world has always been looking, it will
doubtless be much more comprehen-
sive blessing than most can now mag
inc. In the nature of things the COM
the brute creation must share so far as
their capacity allows in the benefits it
confers. Certainly the era which
brings universal peace and good will
among men can not be without a most
beneficial effect on the brute creatures
which have for ages been mans COM
panions and servants. Who that has
witnessed the cruelty of barbarian man
to animals can wonder at the express
sion of the Apostle that the ''whole Gre
alton groaneth until now, being bur-
dened," because of human wrong
doing.
In the better day coming the domes-
tic animals will be none the less COM
panions to man than they are now. In
their way they seem to be preparing
for the companionship which must be
theirs unless they fall altogether out of
line with human progress. Between
them and man there is vast differ
ence, a vast and probably an impassa-
BILE gulf fixed. Yet the love and affec-
ton that may exist between domestic
animals and their owners, or rather
their keepers, often at least seems
to bridge this gulf; who shall
say that it does not at least render some
sort of communication possible. Horse
men who really love their horses often
credit them with almost human intelli-
gence. And as cows receive more loving
care their appreciation of it increases,
until, as their owners say, they seem
almost like one Of the family whom
they serve.
1t win be long before outrageous
cruelty TO domestic animals will be en-
tirely suppressed. But it is fortunately
for them, as fortunate also for human
progress and development that these
cruelties to speechless brutes are ut
last placed under the ban Of human
laws, designed not less for the protec-
ton of animals than for the benefit of
the men whom they restrain from acts
Of unnecessary cruelty. The dominion
Of the brute creation Is, we believe.
