THE GARBAGE SERVICE.
a Memorial tn Congress Urging That Co..
Iections Re Made Daily.

Messrs. William Birney and Thomas y. Cen
rad n . special committee o, the East Wash
inston Citizens Association have formulated a
memorial 20 Congress asking for daily
garbage service for this city during the SKINNER
1nshs at lezst. The memorial resulted from
- adverse report of the Commissioners on tho
bill Of Senator Hunton to provide .or what The
association wants The amendment was, how
eve, reported favorsbly by the Sena.e COM
mittee Of the District The memorial II the
main consists Of ''siz ursen. re1-Cns for The
daily service" These reasons are precisely
those which accompanied Mr.. Hunton's amend
ssnt when {: was introduced and they were
To-iased ia TIE STAB - the time
he memorial further states that 1.-The Com
riis-ioners have reported adversely on Senator
HIn.on's bill providing for an appropriation
fo- daily garbage service and have recon-
msrded an approximation sor he destruction

this appropriltiOr would Be more satisfactory

will be more satisfactory 20 the company that

Who has asked 10: appropriation for he
destruction Of garbage? ANY one besides those
interested in the company who will sc; the ap-
preparation? Whether the garbage is destroyed
81 BuZzards Point or is transported down the
rivsr il q matter OF little concern to the WASH
ington pablo. but in the interest OF sanitation
and the city's welfare they wish a daily garbage

at would be well to have the garbage Of this
city DESTROYED at the water front, in order %
do away with the nuissuees erected at the
whzrves and the unsightly scOvs used IN trans

Of minor consideration and should not stand in

Shot Himself in the Head.

NEW ORLEANS, La, April l5.-Hs
shot himself through the brain in
a lawyers office, while waiting to
be confronted with the evidence of
his crime. Such was the end. of
Peter Birba, late secretary of the
Southern Cordial Manufacturing
company, of 70 Decatur street, of
this city. Birba enjoyed the full
confidence of his employers
until a short time ago, when
it was discovered that he had been
Systematically rObbing the COM
pany for years past and that he
had also forged and caShed checks
on their bank. Birba was dis
missed and the case was put in the
hands of Brown and ChOate, law
yerS. When accused of the for
geries Birba denied his guilt and
claimed that the crime had been
committed by his brother Jim,
who resides in Cincinnati. Brown
and Choate investigated the mat
ter and secured to themselves con-
Vincing proofs that Birba himself
had forged the checks. He was
notified to call at their office, and
did 50 about ten O'clock this morn
ing, accompanied by an uncle and
cousin. Mr.. ChOate was not in at
the time, and they took seats in an
outer room to await his arrival.
suddenly, without any warning,
Birba drew a revolver, placed it to
his left temple, pulled the trigger,
and fell to the floor a dead man,
before either Of his relatives could
interfere. Birba was well known
young man, and his sudden and
violent death has caused pro-
found sensation. His shortage, it
is said, will be between twenty
three and twenty-fOur thousand
dollars. 1t has not yet developed
what use he made of the money he
pmbeZZlpd.

The Eclipse of the Sun.

NEW YORK, April 15.-A total
eclipse of the sun-always a phe-
nOmenOn of cOmmanding-will
occur tomorrow morning under cir
cumstances which make its Obser-
walton peculiarly promising to
science. 1t is not only one of the
longest of the century from which
we are likely to get any additions
to our knowledge of solar physics.
The longest duration of tOtality OF
this eclipse is 4 minutes 46 seconds
and as the path of the moons shad-
dow lies to a great extent on land,
there is a considerable choice of
possible stations with long dura-
lions of totality. Two expeditions
have been sent from England,
one to Africa, the other to
Brazil, the expenses being defray-
ed by the Royal Society. The
United States has sent an eXpedi-
ton to Chilli, of which Prof. Schae-
berle of the Lick Observatory has
charge, are two or three American
parties at Pasa Cura. A Brazilian
party will also observe. The
Bureau dies Longitudes, Paris, has
sent a complete expedition to JOal,
in Africa. a paramount feature
in this eclipse is that it will pro-
badly afford the best facilities for
solving the eclipse of 1889 on the
the West African and Guinea coasts
the observations were marred by
cloudy weather.

A Runaway.

At noon today horse belonging to
Redmond Bros. of Commerce stree, was
hitched to a cedar post in the rear OF the
firms premises. BY some means it got
scared. tore up the cedar post and ran
out of the yard. Then the horse went by
CorcOran street to Market street where
it struck the store Of l.. Huth y Son, and
inset some things exhibited in front
the store. After this it glanced over TO
tbe A. B. Frank & Co.'S warehouse and
was there stopped. The harness was bad
" broken and the vehicle somewhat dam
aged. but beyond this no harm was done,
as fortunately that narrow street was
unusually clear at the time of the runa-
way.

gratitude for the beautiful phaetOn pre-
