MRS. sCHNEIDER's FUNERAL.
The Last Victim of Her Husbands Pisto
Laid Away to Rest.

The Last Victim of Her Husbands Pistol
Laid Away to Rest.
Another act in the Schneider tragedy tran
spired this afternoon when the remains of Mrs.
Annie Hamlink Schneider. the second victim OF
the Q street shooting, were laid away at rest a,
Oak Hill cemetery.
The funeral was held at 2 o'clock at the resi-
dence of Col. Hamlink, 1888 Q street. 1t wal
intended that the services should be as nearly
private as possible, for the family had
expressed a wish that only the relatives
and near friends should be admitted. This
difficult rule to enforce and the
young gentlemen who stood at the door had a
very hard time indeed. Outside the house
were gathered hundreds of people, anxious to
SEQ all that could be seen. and scores of women
many OF them utter strangers, but impellod by
morbid curiosity, sought admission. Some OF
them became quito indignant when this was
politely refused.
The body of the young woman lay in hand
some black casket in the front drawing room.
1t was nearly buried beneath the wealth Of
floral renembrances that had been sent in by
friends. She WAS dressed in simple
gown of white tulle and on the breast
was fastened d small bunch of violets. Loose
flowers were also scattered freely around be.
meath the heavy glass plate The face looked
thin and drawn and there were evidences OF the
intense suffering that she had undergone before
death came to her relief.
The three main rooms on the first floor were
filled with the friends and relatives who had
known and loved the young woman in life
and were desrous of paying the last tributes
in death The beautiful burial service
Of the Episcopal church was read by Rev.
DR.. Starger, and Miss Gray, who Yves formerly
Mrs. Schneiders Sunday school teacher, sang
the hymns Jesus. Lover ofSMy Soul and
Nearer, My God, to Thee"
The pallbearers were all near neighbors OF
the Hamlink family and we're among the many
to show their sympathy with the doubly be-
reaved family. They were Mr.. F. b. Conger,
Capt; Oyerton, Mr.; G W. Roby, Mr.. McGec,

Frank Hamlink, who was buried last Wednes

A WRIT OF HAEEAS CORPUS.
Mrs. Russell Says Her Husband IL Unfit to
Care for Her Child.

Mrs. Russell Says Her Husband IL Unfit to
Care for Her Child.
Mrs. d. W. Russell, whose husband yesterday
abducted their little girl from the steps of the
residence of Mr.. Gibson, the father of Mrs.
Russell, an account of which will be found else
where in The STAR, this morning took counsel
Of Messrs. Ralston and Siddons, and the first
move was made in the preparation Of petition
for writ of habeas corpus for the child,
which was presented to Judge Montgomery
today. The petition states that she was mar
ried May g. 1888, and she has two children, one
Of three years and one of twelve months; that
prior to February her husband treated her
with cruelty.
The petition alleges also that he is a man of
dissolute habits. and that as he failed
to support her and the children she
went to her mothers. She charges
that yesterday the husband by force
took the child Edna from her mother
and that he ID not fit person to have control
of a child of such tender years. She asserts
that her father and mother are willing to take
care Of her and the children. She therefore
prays a writ Of habeas corpus.
The writ was ordered to issue by Justice
Montgomery returnable forthwith.

A Plea in Behalf OF the Aqueduet Bridge.

A Plea in Behalf OF the Aqueduet Bridge.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
wish to call the attention of the proper au-
thorities to what believe will be improper
use OF public property-namely, the temporary
use of the Aqueduct bridge by the Washington
and Arlington Railroad Company. This COM
pany asked to cross this bridge when they ap-
piled TOR q charter. and failing in this they ac-
cepted charter via or near the Three Sisters
They have lad plenty of time to build n bridge
but have not turned a stone. They have, how
ever, commenced to lay track connecting
directly with the Aqueduct bridge and not at
all in the direction of the Three Sisters l do
not believe that they intend to build at the
Three Sisters. think that they hope by some
hook or crook to continue to use the Aqueduct
bridge after October Is for their electric cars
II Congress sees reason for the temporary
use Of the bridge let it require this company to
furnish a bond to build the aforesaid bridge at
the Three Sisters and vacate the Aqueduct
bridge on October Is, 1892. As to the con-
venience OF the G. A. T. during their contem-
plated visit the argument il against it. This
single-track road with only few cars would
only be in the way on such o day as the on
campment would set aside to visit Arlington.
Then. to appreciate the trip to Arlington, it
must be made over the military road. This
gives u beautiful view and o most favorable
impression Of Washington. How can the G.
A. r take this magnificent drive if the road il
to be obstructed aud the horses frightened by
these electric cars? III this.use Of the bridge is
permitted some one will be killed during the
encampmcnt The ratings of the bridge are
so frail that o frightened horse could plunge
directly into the river with whatever might be
attached to him. Then there 10 . question a.
to the strength Of the bridge to sustain the
extra weight II, however. the bridge 10 to be
thus used the bond to vacate and to build at
the Three Sisters should be given BY all means.

There Are Many Aspirants. but No AppiIca-

The President y paying but little personal
sttentioa ct present 70 the question Of filing
the vacancy On The Supreme bench caused by
the death Of Justice Bradley. In fact. IL may
be said that he has not yet taken up the matter
officially.
There are no applicants for the position, in
the ordinary sense Of the term, for
it has always been regarded as one
Of the first principles OF judicial
ethics that the aspirants for
this. the highest honor that can come to q law
yer in this country, shall not be sought in per-
son.
OF course there have been several names
suggested to the President through the friends
Of the aspirants, and more are sure TO be re-
ceived. In due time there will
be conference between the President and
the Attorney General on the subject and then
nomination will soon follow. The story that
bas gained circulation that there were appli-
cations on file before Judge Bradley was
buried is pronounced absurd and untrue at the
White House.
