COMMITTED SUICIDE.
w. Il. Clarke Moorhead Killed Him.
self at Los Angeles.

W. z. Clarke Moorhead. who was we'll
known here, killed himself on Wednesday
night in a hotel In Los Angeles Cal, by
shooting himself through the head. He
had been In the city about q week. and
had Teen drinking very heavily. Accounts
from Los Angeles indicate that Mr.. Moor
head took his life during delirium caused
by drink. A friend OF Moorhead's named
B. w. Mckenzie inq .ired for him ut the
hotel yesterday morning, AID on being told
that he had not ret risen. went up to The
room and discovered the body.
Mr.. Mo Kenzie stated that AIR. MoorLead
had been in the habit Of spending his win
tiers at Coronado Beach. Cal. AMI his sum
mers fl Halifax. He had always spoken
OF Washington as his home. He arrived on
the coast few weeks ago, ard notified
Mckenzie, at San Diego. of his arrival.
Later. a message reached McKenzi. from
Noorhead asking him to go at once to Los
Angeles, and II was In response to this
summons that Mckenzie FASTENED to the
latter city. only to find his friend dead.
Col Moorhead had been a member Of the
Metropolitan Club since December 1882.
He made the club house his headquarters
when on his visits to the city, but did not
seem to have much acquaintance outside
of the members of that organization.
He has not been here for over a year. In
the club itself he seemed to have few tnti-
mates and there are not many of the MEN,
bers who today can tell much about him.
Some years ago he and his sister. Mrs. II.
III. Dodge of Georgetown, were left an in
heritance of 100000 each, which was plac-
ed in trust for them Col. Moorhead lived
the interest of this money, which al
lowed him considerable luxury. He was
fond Of travel and has visited nearly every
section of the world. He was unmarried.
In his manner he was quiet and rather re-
firing. At certain intervals his appetite for
drink would become too strong and he
would then withdraw from all association.
The flag on the club house was placed
at half-mast today.
The members of the club who knew
Moorhead say that they cannot imagine a
cause for his suicide unless he might have
killed himself during one OF his indulgences
in drink. He had reputation for the
strictest financial integrity and for paying
every obligation promptly.
Mr.. Mckenzie wired the secretary Of the
club yesterday Of the death of Mr.. Moor
head. and Mrs. Dodge was informed
through him of her brothers death. She
was very greatly shocked.

The D street rife gallery of the District
National Guard was broken into some time
between yesterday afternoon and this
morning. Entrance was by the door-the
false key used having been found. A
smashed slat shows how the loading room
was invaded, while a broken desk and a
crippled cash drawer testify to violence In
search of something worth stealing. The
amount Of money in the drawer was small
so the thief had to content himself with
several hundred rounds Of Springfield am
munition and a macintosh. Several boxes
of ammunition and bullets were broken
open.

SOME FAC ENDS
OF APPROPRIATIONS CONSIDERED BY Tai
FINANCE COMMITTEE
OF Council, at Last Evenings Ssssion-An 0rii-
nance to be Presented To-Night-SsIls-
inert With the Collector Friday.

The Council Committee on Finance
met at the office Of the City Clerk last
evening for the purpose of making a
settlement with City Collector Shafer.
That gentleman was not present, how
ever, and the Committee took up some
miscellaneous matters, one of them be-
ing the blocking out Of an ordinance
taking up aud relocating some
fag ends OF appropriations for
work in various parts OF the
city. The first item was a balance OF
$50. 25 OF the appropriation for an i'm
provement at Morrow and Tenth streets.
Mr.. Richards said the original apDro-
priation was for sewer and paving. The
sewer was put In, but no paving had
been done, aud he wanted the job fin
ished, instead Of letting the money go
10 Charles street, as had been proposed.
In the Eighth ward there was bal
ance of S21S from work done on Thirty
third street, and on Jacob from Thirty
third to Thirty-sixth street. Mr.. Wheat
said that was all right so far as II went
but there was little sum OF $500 re-
ceived from the Street Railway Com
pany, which he wanted, too. The
original money was ten cent levy cash,
and $500 of it was spent in doing work
for the Street Railway Company, aud
when the Company repaid this cost II
was plunked into the general fund.
He didn't propose TO have his apDropri-
tons held out on him in that manner.
The fact is the $500 was turned into the
general fund by the City Clerk, aud can
be reappropriated.
On the Island there was balance OF
S3O2. 40 left over from the Delaware
street sewer and some other work. Mr..
Maxwell asked to have this applied TO
crossings on York and Kentucky
streets, Delaware aud South York, Fink
and South Front, Maryland and North
Penn, aud on South Huron, South
Broadway and North YORK streets.
These suggestions along with the Sec
ond, Eighth and other ward items, when
Strengthened out, will be incorporated
In an ordinance TO be presented 10 Coun-
Gil this evening.
The Committee will meet again Fri
day, TO settle with the Collector.

The Practice of Their stealing Rides On
the Elm Grove Road to BE Broken Up.
Within the past week or ten DAYS
there have been several narrow escapes
from serious accidents on the line OF the
Elm Grove, on Sixteenth street, as a re-
suit of the practice Of jun ping on and
off moving trains INDUCED In by num-
Der of boys, principally pupils OF the
Fourth ward school. These boys run
and jump on the steps OF the
cars 10 steal short rides, and on
the approach OF the conductors jump
off again, both acts being at the
imminent risk OF life or limb, and so
fearful are the conductors Of causing a
fatality that they are afraid TO move
about in the cars or go from one to an
other lest some boy, thinking the con-
ductor is after him, jump from the
train aud be killed or crippled. Only a
few days ago boy jumped from car,
aud being afraid TO let go he was
dragged a hundred feet and badly
bruised and scratched up. fortunately
he was at the rear end OF the train.
Had he been at the front end OF car
be would surely have been run over.
Another boy jumped from a train
directly In front Of a wagon, the wheels
passing across his legs. More by good
luck than anything else, he escaped
having his legs broken.
The Company is determined to stop
this practice, being unwilling TO longer
run the risk OF being blamed for acci-
dents OF this character, and from and
after to-day all boys jumping on cars 10
this manner will be Arrested for viola
ton Of the city ordinance and locked ~
at the City Hall.
