The Ordinance Against Using Fire
arms to Be Enforced.
A citizen from the neighborhood of
the hill reservoir OF the Citizens Water
company came to police headquarters
yesterday, and complained that some
men with rifles had been making the
vicinity out there unsafe by indiscrim-
mate firing. He reported that on Mon
day his son, boy of about IL years,
while playing in the yard at home. had
been shot through the hand with spent
rifle bullet, the source of which could
not be determined.
As consequence of this complaint as
well as a number of others of similar
nature, Captain Roberts has decided to
make special police detail at once for
the purpose Of abating this dangerous
practice. Any one caught shooting
within the city limits, no matter with
what kind of weapon, will be made
made an example of under the existing
laws, and the detail referred to has the
strictest orders for vigilance

EMILE DE LAvELEYE.
The Deceased Political Economist and
His Career.

The Deceased Political Economist and
His Career.
Mr.. H. D. Barrows yesterday left the
following interesting statement at the
HERALD Office:
IN. Emile de Laveleye, whose death
was announced day or two ago, was
one of the most eminent political econo-
mists of Europe. He was born in 1922,
and consequently was at his death in
his seventieth year. In 1854 he was ap-
pointed to the chair of political economy
in the University of Liege, Belgium.
He was liberal, an ardent bimetallist,
and voluminous writer on many sub
jects. The universal respect in which
he was held is we'll expressed iii the
words of Gen. Francis A. Walker, presi-
dent of the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology, in letter not long ago to
the writer of this note, wherein he
speaks of M. de Laveleye as that most
learned and candid economist, whom 1
know we'll and greatly ADMIRE etc.
m. de Laveleye was one of thecon1-
petitors for the Cernuschi prize in 1890.
I cent him, through the resident consul
here, Mr.. Charles Raskin, copy Of my
essay contributed at the same contest.
In acknowledging my pamphlet M. de
Laveleye did me the great honor to use
the following language addressed to the
consul: you will say to Mr.. III. d.
Barrows that entirely approve his
views Il approuve enforcement ses vues)
and have to thank you for having sent
me his work. He also promised to send
me, through the consul, copy of his
essay.
81 cannot deny that appreciate very
highly the approval of my views ON BIZ
metallism of go eminent and SO candid
an economist' as the late M. de Laveleye.

THE SAN PEDRO SUICIDE.
The Mystery of Oman's Death Unex-
planned.

iHS mystery oA Omdn Oedlh One4-
planned.
Coroner Weldon returned yesterday
from San Pedro where he has been ever
since the sensational Oman tragedy oc-
Cured. The suicide of this supposedly
happy young bridegroom was as thor
oughly investigated as circumstances
would permit, but the coroner declares
that he did not succeed in unraveling a
single thread of the mysterious case.
DIR. Weldon at the same time declares
his conviction, that the jury was
hampered in it's efforts by the un-
willingness OF certain witness, who, he
is sure, knows more about the case than
he would tell. The verdict of the coro-
ner's jury was simply that Alfred Roland
Oman had come to his death January
2, 1892, by a pistol shot inflicted by
himself with suicidal intent.

THE BODIES NOT FOUND.
RumOrS That Mills and Wilkin-
son NYere Not Drowned.

sun w III wv ApACh hNNs
There is now a grave suspicion, and very
many rumors to encourage it, that Mills
and Wilkinson, the men alleged to have
been murdered near Lorraine Station,
in Henrico county, by Philip Norman
Nicholas. were not drowned at all, but
that they were killed and their bodies
hidden away IN some isolated spot, or
probably in more than one spot. A
great many believe the bost-sinbing
story only a ruse to delude the officers.
The people residing in the community
where the tragedy or accident took
place are greatly agitated over the fact
that neither body has yet been re-
covered, though the authorities have
been engaged in dragging the river Tor
the past three days.
NO TRACES OF TIE BODIES.
No traces whatever Of the missing
men have as yet been obtained, and this
is considered quite singular, in that
there is very little current III the stream
ut the point in question.
Neither the Commemorative Attorney
nor Mr.. ID. Q. Richardson, counsel for
the accused, had obtained any new facts
in the case up to late hour yesterday
afternoon.
A negro boy claims that he heard that
the bodies were hid in a huge pile OF
debris washed up in bend OF the river.
Search was made at this point, and
traces of struggle were visible, and q
bag was found there, but no evidences
of the bodies could be discovered.
EVIDENTLY KNOWS POLK MILLER.
Nicholas claims that he used to work
upon the farm OF Mr.. E. A. Saunders, Of
this city, and that he knows Colonel w.
Miles Cary, Mr.. Polk Miller, and other
gentlemen here. A DISPATCH man who
called to see MIR. Miller yesterday after
noon about his acquaintance with the
accused was told by the druggist and
sportsman that be remembered man
named Norman Nicholas who Lived
ND in the country where be
used to hunt. The description given by
Mr.. Miller OF this man corresponds with
the Nicholas charged with the murder.
Mr.. Miller stated that the man be re-
ferred ~ was frequently employed by
himself, Colonel Cary. and others to 60
cunning with them and hold their
horses, take care Of game, &c. MIR.
Miller said he intended TO call upon the
accused at the jail and ascertain il il
was the Nicholas he used to hunt with.
