than forty years of age at the time of
which ! am writing, and nothing about
him indicated old age.
Otto Zweifel-that was his real name
was the musical critic and general
utility man of the Chronicle. He was
a German by birth and had come to
this country when sixteen years of age.
He was proud Of his mastery lsnowl-
edge of the English language, and this
was, in fact, the only subject of a pri-
vate nature he could ever be induced
to discuss.
Zweifers personal appearance was
not calculated to attract attention. He
was tall and angular, his bushy black
hair and whiskers were tinged with
gray. and years of editorial work had
given him slight stoop. He was not
beauty, neither was he repulsive.
His eyes were bright and reflected
even through pair of he avy glasses
love for all mankind, and especially
Tor his fellowmartyrs on the staff Of
the Morning Chronicle.
Although he was every body's friend
he was intimate with none Of his asso-
ciates; and when he invited me one
evening to call upon him at his lodg-
tested by every Chronicle man, from
the managing editor down to the Office
boy.
Nothing about Zweifel reminded me
OF his nationality, except perhaps, the
careless way in which he dressed his
hair and his place of residence, which
was located in the German quarter of
the city. He occupied large front
room in the house of a Suabian widow,
whose seven hopeful sons and daughters
kept the entire neighborhood in an up
roar. The noise, however, did not
seem to disturb the lodger, who was
too much of philosopher to lose his
temper over trifles.
"a noise which carries its explana-
ton with it." he said to me when I
asked whether life was not made q
burden by the incessant and outlandish
hubbub created by tho impish young
Teutons, ''does not disturb me. But
please do not mention it to our mutual
fricnds-su supernatural sounds whose
origin must forever remain mystery.
upset my nervous system and drive me
to the verge of despair
That the clear-headed Zwcifel might
be believer in occult demonstra-
tons had never entered my head, and
great was my establishment when he
continued:
My life has been one rich in strange
experiences Soon after I came to
this country beheld in vision the face
and figure of a woman who, the dream
told me, was to be my wife.
II paid but little attention to the
vision until it had reappeared three
times. Each time the apparition an
nounced its arrival by three distinct
knocks against the head of my bed.
"Silly dreams, were they not? And
yet my friend, some day 1 expect to
meet the woman of my dreams face to
face

fected by the recollection of his spirit

A Strange Jealousy-A Case Something

Night before last In house No. 1921 Marion

which led Alice Mitchell 10 kill her COMPANION in
Memphis several months ago, only the parties In
this case are colored men instead Of white
women. Alexander Fillmore q young colored

John Clark, who is a waiter in q dining room.
They furnished their room together and

more's jealousy caused trouble. He became in
sanely Jealous Of his companion, and when the
latter did not return home after his days work
was over Fillmore would complain that he was
out with other men,
On one occasion he said: IL think John ought
to spend bis evenings with me-"
Johns mother was told this and she told him
that John was out attending a dinner party.
NO, he amt" said Fillmore; ''he's out with
some other men, and don't think il is right"
Then he made threats 10 kill John when he
came in, and sure enough he proceeded to pu;
his threat into execution with glass. He struck
Clark in the forehead and inflicted a painful
wound.
Filmores arrest followed and Judge Miller
heard the case this morning. The court was
made acquainted with the facts in the case. and
a witness stated that Clark was a Woodworking
young man of good character, and that he was
in constant fear of Fillmore.
Judge Miller sentenced Fillmore to give $500
real estate security or go TO Jail for six months,
and imposed fine of $50 or sixty days for the
assault

The Directors Decide to Begin the Work OF
Construction at Once.
At an adjourned meeting Of the directors OF
the ID. c. Suburban Railway Company, held
yesterday in the Washington Loan and Trust
building, Col. Gilbert Meyer presiding, with
Harry Barton secretary, it was reported that
Slo0, 900 in bonds had been placed at par.
After an interchange Of opinion it was de-
termined TO construct the road at once and the
superintendent and vice president Judge
Davis, was SO directed.
Mr.. ID. J. Howell, the engineer, was in
structed to prepare specifications for bids for
the Brookiand and Langdon branches, and il
possible have these branches completed by De-
cember i. The Brookand branch runs through
University Heights. Brookland, crosses Brent
wood road. skirts Iairview and Ivy City. where
the Langdon branch connects, and thence runs
through Trinidad to the city. The
Langdon branch commences at that place and
passes through Montello and Ivy City. This
was determined on inasmuch as the commits
sioners desire that the outside road shall first
be in operation. 1t was also determined that
the president, Col. Meyer; the engineer. Mr..
Howell, and the secretary, Mr. Barton, should
proceed to Cleveland, where a convention of
city railroad men IL in session, to examine the
various systems of motive power, with q view of
reporting the best for the road.

Washington People May Acquire the Local
Ball Club.
There is movement on foot to get Dan
Richardson, the popular ball player. away from
Washington. New York il after him. and it 10
binted that the local management is not SO firm
regarding bis retention it Was last spring.
Some of the New York papers have represented
Richardson anxious 10 return to his old club.
Richardson's inclinations are exactly the oppo-
site.
II like Washington" he says, "snd I want to
play here. Iwould much rather stay here than
go to New York"
Richardson does not think that the owners Of
the club have treated him fairly in retain
ing the $1,000 advance money out Of this
seasons salary instead o. letting $500 60 over
TO next season. Richardson thinks that his
faithful work is worth different treatment
Ii may be that the Washington club will be Ia
different hands next season OF course IL Rich
ardson is sold TO another club that will block
the deal. But the Wagners are dissatisfied
with their experiment here and are willing TO
sell, and some Washington lovers Of the game
knowing what good ball town this is with a
club of fair rank are thinking of venturing.
The attendance in Washington for the season
ending July Is was $500. exceeding
that Of Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland
and New York and within q small number Of
equaling Boston and Louisville. Cincinnati
drew lSs, S66, Pittsburg lis, 046. Philadelp hia

therefore, that with fairly good team (the
