a hand laid upon his face. and looking
up saw a tall, pale lady dressed in gray.
He sprang up at once. but she vanished
before his ewes. and the shock caused by
the apparition was so great that he had
to resign his post. He became so nerv-

in "A city like Boston large cars bull.

ANACOSTIA,

Mr.. Dennis Reagan. one Of the pioneers of
this side of the river. died at his home on Mon
roe street Friday night.
The funeral of Mr.. Herman Ohm, who died
Tuesday, took place at O'Clock yesterday after
noon.
Mr.. Henry johnson Of 149 Monroe street
writes to The STAR follows respecting the
suggested location Of the contagious disease
hospital in the vicinity Of Anacostia: Patients
would have to be carried over a wooden bridge
in ambulance at gait not faster than walk.
The bridge is only twenty feet wide and over a
mile long, which would compel every pedes-
trian to traverse that distance within two feet
Of the pest wagon, to say nothing of the street
cars, long trains Of country wagons, carriages.
&C., following in slow march the death
spreader. There is located in Anacostia an in
stitution the inmates Of which by reason of
their being bereft Of reason are objects of our
hearts best sympathy. l refer to the hospital
for the insane. ask in the name of Christian
humanity that the unfortunate children of God
therein be allowed to enjoy unstintingly all
that is left to them in this world-the pure air
Of heaven untainted by infectious atmospheric
surroundings. l also plead for the inmates of
the German Orphan Asylum, located in the
environs. Keep the danger Of pestilential dis
eases from the only home they have-let them
and visiting friends be free from contamina-
ton, and let them breathe the pure and unde-
fled air Of heaven. The importance Of sewer
age, water, light. &C., to hospital are too well
known to be eucidated, none OF which to the
extent needed are at this time attainable in

Fight Over an Indian Territory Appoint
ment.


Fight Over an Indian Territory Appoint
ment.
subcommittee Of the Senate committee on
the judiciary was engaged for a time this morn
ing looking into the charges that have
been made by W. F. Weeks, chairman
Of the Indian territory democratic
committee, against ). J. McAlester,
nominated to be United States marshal for that
territory. 1t is claimed that McAlester. by
reason of his having married q Chickasaw
woman, is no longer Q citizen OF the
United States, but Of the territory,
and therefore ineligible to appointment;
also, that he has opposed the democratic
organization in the territory and aided
and abetted the Indians in their recent upris-
ing, supplied them with arms and promised
them money, and that he is q man Of great
wealth and power among the Indians, and by
reason Of his influence, alleged to be improperly
used, is not the proper man to be peace Of
fcer.
These charges are not met by counter state
ments on the part Of McAlester and his friends
who appeared before the committee, who say
that they were only fled because it
was last resort to effect if posi-
bic his defeat. and that the men max
ing them had been candidates for the place to
which he was appointed. No sworn statements
were submitted to the committee, but among
Ales'er were himself. Col. Duvall OF
Fort Smith. Maj. Salmon OF Missouri.
Mr.. Nelson, an attorney, and Gen. Porter of
the Indian territory and others. Senator
Lindsay, chairman of the subcommittee,
postponed the matter until Monday. when
he will refer it to the full committee
for decision as to whether the subject should
be inquired into. In the meantime Mr. Weeks
has taken his papers and seeks an audience with
the President for the purpose of bringing his
charges before him and urging the withdrawal
of the nomination.

New Ocean Lines,

The Department of State has been informed
Of the establishment of two new transatlantic
lines having New York for their terminus on
this side. The first is freight line reported
by Walter Z. Gardner, consul at Rotterdam.
1t is called the North American Transport Line.
comprising seven steamers sailing every other
Wednesday. Mr.. Gardner says the increase
OF business between Rotterdam and
New York. shown by the records
of his Office, is almost phenomenal In 1891 the
clearapces from Rotterdam for New York were
81; in 1892, 224. The steamers running between
those ports. says Mr.. Gardner, have heretofore
been crowded .oftentimes beyond their capacity,
so that the establishment OF the new line was q
necessity.
The other is passenger and freight line to
be called the Scandia line, the terminal ports
being New York and Stettln, on the Baltic. 1t
is operated by the Hamburg American Packet
Company and gives direct communication
between this country and several ports
heretofore of main lines of trave..
One Of these is Gothenberg. Chas. II. Shep-
hard. United States consul there, reports that
the Gothia on her initial departure thence for
the United States carried 255 Swedes en- route
to New York. The new line is composed Of six
vessels, and the sailings will be fortnightly.

The Railroad Company Blameless.

The Railroad Company Blameless.
Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at
the sixth police precinct over the body of
Armistead Nickings, the colored man whose
legs were cut off Monday last by an engine on
the Baltimore and Potomac railroad at LIST
street and Virginia avenue southwest. The
testimony Of several bystanders and railroad
people was heard, and the jury after few mo-
ments' elaboration rendered verdict to the
effect that the man came to his death through
his own carelessness and held the railroad
blameless in the matter. 1t appeared from the
evidence that the unfortunate man in passing
down LIST street found train Of empty passen-
ger cars standing at the crossing. and being in
. hurry to get past Armistead, despite the gate
mans warning, passed under the lowered gates,
jumped upon one Of the cars and then jumped
on the opposite track. almost directly in front
Of passing engine. The engine was running
slowly, and only the first wheel passed over the
man.
