Democratic Free silver Manifesto.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Tho Democrat
ic silver manifesto which has been the
chief topic Of talk on that side Of the house
for a few days, was made public. While
It has been generally circulated for the
consideration of members, there was no
attempt TO secure signatures until q late
hour
Representative members from 5 states
signed the declaration at the instance Of
Mr. Bryan, but the canvass is SO far very
incOuplete, and the list Of signers viii
not be made public until it is complete.
The paper in part is as follows

ROWLAND HALL BURNED
The Industrial School Building at Manassas
Destroyed
An Institution Intended to Benefit the
COlOred PeOple-Its History
and Its Objects.

Howland Hall, the main structure con-
nected with the Industrial school for col
ored youth located one mile from Manas-
sas Va, was totally destroyed by fire yes
terday, according to a telegram received
in this city from the principal. The build
ing was new, having been dedicated on
September last, on which occasion Fred
erick Douglass was the principal speaker.
At the time of the fire sixty pupils and five
teachers were accommodated in the build
ing. The principal, DR.. E. p. Clemens, with
his family, resided in a separate structure.
The loss as near as can be estimated
amounts to $500, the building being val
ued at 1,5OO and the furnishings and tools
at $1,000.
The promoters of the school began the
work in April, 1891, which resulted in

Manassas is at present in New York, en-
deavoring to secure funds to pay running
expenses. The teachers have as yet re-
ceved no salary.
Already the school is said to have made
remarkable progress, and 1t has the en-
thusiastic support of the residents of
Manassas and vicinity. The pupils are
from Washington. Alexandria and Manas-
sas. They are required to pay IS per month
for board and instruction, the latter in
cludfng a common school education and
special industrial training.
1t is hoped by the officers that accom-
modations may be secured for the pupils
and teachers until the building can be
again put up. Funds are greatly needed
tor that object and determined effort
is to be begun at once to obtain subscrip-
tions. No information In regard to .he fire
other than the bare facts of it's occurrence
has as yet been received in this city.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
AS long suffering taxpaying citizen,
want to add my entreaty to that of Col
Elliot in last nights Star, for Congress to
restore to the District bill the appropria-
ticn for raising the dam, and thereby in
creasing the supply of water.
Even now the water will not rise to the
water closet tank on the second floor of
my house! How are people to live, and
what are we 10 do, in that condition? 1

the reasons given for striking out that
item. Every one of the pretended reasons
reed of an examination, danger of burst
ing the conduit, &c.-was so fully an
swered by Col. Elliot that they need not
be discussed.
The whole reason for the delay is the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company's in
terests. the laying of a foundation for a
big claim, and nothing else.
In heavens name, have not we water
takers and taxpayers in the District been
swinded and outraged enough already in
the matter of the water supply?
Give us the appropriation and let the
work go on, ana settle whatever claims
the canal company has or may have here
after. That can wait-the water supply
cannot. A TAXPAYER

Due TO Poor Plumbing, Says Judge

Today's session of Judge Kimbalrs court
was prolonged by the hearing of cases of
wasting Potomac water and failing to re-
move snow from the sidewalk Inspector
Fitzhugh had several water cases. In one
case he complained against a man for hav-
irg allowed his water to run when the
pipes had been frozen and the occupant Of
the house had just completed the task cf
thawing out the pipe The valve, of course,
was left open, and the occupant of the
house was heating the pipe in the house
when the inspector appeared. This ex-
cuSe did not suit the inspector, but it did
suit the court, and the citizen who had
been put to the trouble of appearing in
court was not fined. There were other
charged and in which the court suspended
sentence.
Judge Kimball, speaking on this question,
said that the cases presented two ques-
tiCnS. Residents of Capitol Hill cannot get
water Oh the upper floors of their houses
because in other sections the water is al
loved to run to prevent freezing, and on
the other hand, if these people do not let
the water run there is a freeze and then
houses are flooded.
The judge said he thought 1T about time
that plumbers were doing work in a man.

RENDERED HOMELESS,
Result of n Fire on the Outskirts
Last Night.


Three colored families were rendered
homeless and destitute by fire last night.
1t was about 10 o'clock when fire was dis
covered in the house of George Williams,
No. 1906 Columbia road, and it was only
few minutes before the house of Benjamin
Dixon and Benjamin Winston were DOOM
ed. Williams, whose wife is employed in
the city, had left his house and gone to
escort her home. He knew she would he
cold when she reached home and so he
made hot fire in the stove and departed.
The high wind caused the fire to burn
quickly and when the stove became over
heated 1t set fire to the house. A colored
man passing discovered the flames and
he lost no time in calling for assistance.
Soon the police and firemen reached the
scene. There was some difficulty eXpe-
rienced by the firemen in their efforts to
get water, and all this time the fire, which
was being assisted along by the high wind,
was fast eating its way through the thin
walls to the adjoining houses. The work
of laying the three houses a mass of
charred wood and ashes was done in few
minutes. So quickly did the flames spread
that some of the occupants of one of the
houses had to leave their beds and go out

Jams and Dixon owned their houses. All
the household effects in the three little
dwellings were consumed and none of them

partment out on long run to No. .l3 18th

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
The Storm the Cause of q General
Shaking Up.

The storm yesterday was the direct
cause of an accident on the main line of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad which
occasioned considerable delay to incoming
trains, but did not cause any loss of life.
The mishap to the train occurred at
Branchville, about twelve miles from
Washington. About o'clock a train from
Baitlmore was blocked in a snow drift, and
Tor some reason it was not possible to get
news IN time up the road to warn the next
train coming down the line. The result
was that Royal Blue line train crashed
into the rear end of the standing train and
destroyed a couple of express cars, and
gave the passengers generally very
severe shaking up. The Blue Line train
was running at greatly reduced speed,
Whlcn was a most fortunate thing, under
the circumstances for. as it was, the pas
senserS and train crews got off without
any serious injuries. One passenger had
MS hand hurt, and a brakeman received
some slight bruises
AS result of the collision there was a
lengthy blockade at the little station,
which grew in size until at the end of a
lew hours eight trains were drawn up
sengers on board of them were at hard
straits to keep reasonably comfortable
Some OF the ladies on board the trains
were cared for at neighboring houses but
the majority of the passengers had to stick
1T out on the chilly and cherries cars

"Cuiu nave peen no accident, but even
with an accident there would have been
no delay to other trains, they could
have been shunted around on the sidings
past the wreck. AS it was, however, it
was impossible to get by, and there was
nothing to do but go to work and dig ont
the wrecked trains.
shortly after the news of the wreck
reached the Baltimore and Ohio station at
this city wrecking train left for the
scene of the accident in charge of SUIT.
Alvey, who has been very overworSed
omcia! during the last three days AS re-
suit OF the effort of the wreckers, the first
train TO get away reached this city about
midnight, and the others were not very
much behind it. Outside of the loss to the
railroad company the damage does not
amount to a great deal.
