CAPT. BRIAN sPHINx-LIKE.

He Is Saying Nothing, but Attending to
Business.
Capt. Henry T. Brian, foreman of the Pub
lie Printing ONCE, refuses TO talk of the
charges made against him recently by the
Interstate Democratic Association. When a
TINES reporter called upon him he was suave
as Chesterfield and uncommunicative as Gen.
Grant.
To question regarding the charges, he re-
piled: you will have to excuse me-
They are largely made up from an old re-
port" suggested the reporters, and Mr.. Brian
nodded his head with murmured assent.
And you are saying nothing but attending
to business?" and the reply was the same
identically.
Nevertheless there is evidence that Capt
Brian will within a few months be replaced
by man against whom no considerable num-
Der of Democrats will make opposition. No
one is being actively pressed so far by the In-
terstate Association to succeed him. They
claim that they will be satisfied with any good
Democeat. They prefer to Capt: Brian, how.
ever, any man whose records clear of charges
of maladministration and who used his office
to aid the Republican campaign.

HE HAS BRIGHT GREEN EYES.
Mrs Cecilia Bush's Life Made Dreary by
the Monster of IeaInusv

the Monster of Jealousy
The fact that Mrs. Cecilia Bush has good
looking husband was one of the causes which
eonspired to make her prisoner in the pO-
lice court yesterday afternoon. She was
charged with having assaulted Ella Dabney,
a slxteen-year-Old girl, on last Sunday even
ing, while the latter was on her way home
from church with Mrs. Bush's husband and a
hash1ly dressed young woman named Susie
Ferris. The Dab1ey girl took the witness
stand and told Judge Kimball that Mrs. Bush
came up behind her and said:
You must stop running with my husband
or I'll make YOU
Then. according to the witness, Mrs. Bush
beat her about the head with a club and
threatened to kill her. Ella denied, with an
indignant curl of her lip, that she was run
ming with" Mr.. Bush, but acknowledged that
he called to see her frequently at her home.
II be comes to my house, judge she said,
Il cannot help that"
Mrs. Bush took the stand and testified thaA

with her husband. and when she called 70 Mr..
Bush and requested him TO go home with her,
Ibis lawfully welded wife" Ella Dabney
came back to Mrs. Bush and called her
names besides saying to the husband: "Don't
you go with that woman 1t was then. Mrs
Bush acknowledged, that she struck the girl
with stick she had picked up.
Judge himball evidently sympathized with
the abused wife. for he took her personal
Londs and advised the eomplainants to leave
her husband severely alone in the future.

Gen. J. A. Dumont, supervising inspector
general Of steam vessels. in his annual report
to the Secretary of the Treasury, calls atten-
ton to the exceptional fact that while fires Of

CAUSE OF coNNoRs' DEATH.
Coroner's Jury Say 1t Was Due to an In.
ferior Belt Buckle.

AOTOnGTS jury say Ii W as Due TO an In
ferior Belt Buckle.
An inquest was held at o'clock yesterday
afternoon at the Sixth precinct station-house
over the remains of Thomas Connors, the
telegraph lineman, who fell sixty feet to his
death Wednesday afternoon, from pole in
the alley between F and G and Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets northwest.
Coroner Hammett presided, and after hear
ing the evidence the jury rendered verdict
of accidental death The verdict, however.
stated that the fatal fall was due TO defects in
the strap buckle. which gave way and pre-
cipitated Connors to the ground. The tele-
graph company was advised to hereafter use
two buckles on their waist belts instead of
one. and that the buckles be made of steel or
wrought iron in the future, instead of cast
iron, to prevent recurrence of such acci-
dents. The funeral of the unfortunate man
will take place from the home of his aged
mother, Fenton place northeast, tomorrow
afternoon
