w. +. Mallory Shot Down in the Street
by r.. H. Harris, jr.
Mr.. W. F. Mallory. Familiarity known
among his friends rs Buck" was shot and
| instantly killed on Bollingbrook street.
Petersburg, Va. last night by r. H. Har-
ris jr. After being shot Mallory walked a
short distance and fell dead on the side
walk. Immediately after the shooting Har-
r'is walked to the police station and sur
rendered himself to the officers, and also
gave up his pistol. He declined, however,
origin of the shooting.
The only witness to the sad affair found
up to a late hour was Mr.. Robert Davis,
who positively but politely declined to say
anything until the inquest is held. 1t is
said that there were some unpleasant
words between the two men before the
fatal shot was fired. 1t is also said that
there was more than one report of pistol
heard. Shortly after the shooting DR.. H. G.
Leigh, the coroner, and DR.. R. D. McIll-
Waine were notified. and visited the scene
of the shooting and made an examination
of the body. 1t was found that Mallory
had been shot once in the left breast. His
face and hands were very bloody, but the
blood came from his lungs. Coroner Leigh
will hold an inquest. when all the facts OBJ
tainable bearing upon the tragedy will be
brought out.
Both men are natives of Petersburg. NAL
lory was about forty-thrse years of age,
son of the late ". F. Mallory, and brother
of John A. Mallory, secretary of the board
of health. A widow survives him. Harris
is twentysix years OF age, son of Mrs. r.
H. Harris, who keeps boarding house on
Bcllingbrook street. He is married and has
several children. Both men widely
known. being prominent in sporting circles.
At the request of the widow, Mallory's
body was carried to his late home on Boil
lingbrook street, close to where the tragedy
occurred. At midnight Harris was COM
mitted to jail. The unfortunate affair oc-
casioned considerable excitement and in an

The London Times publishes letter from
Prof. Goodwin Smith, dated from Toronto
on October 10. and referring to Lord Sack
ville's pamphlet incident. The letter says:
1.-The Irish vote is the bane of all Anglo
Saxon communities In the intercourse of
thirty years 1 have not met an American
who has not felt ashamed of this SUBJ
serviercy."
The professor then dilates upon the sub
serviency" shown by the English liberals
to the Irish and adds:
Whatever the American politicians are
they are not the American people. Their
nervous fear Of appropriately sometimes
leads them astray. Had President Cleve-
land mustered courage enough to treat the
Murchison letter with the spirit of a high
minded gentleman he would have gained
m ore votes than he lost"

Liquor Cases.

Three liquor cases were heard in the Po-
lice Court yesterday afternoon, but not a
single conviction was obtained. Henry
Knock was the defendant in one case, and
he was represented by Lawyer John A.
Clarke. The defendant lives near Bright
wood. and the police alleged that he kept
a "speakeasy." Counsel in the case ex-
amined the witnesses, and when Mr.. Pugh
closed his case Mr.. Clarke moved dis
missal without going into the defense.
Judge Miller granted his motion, and in
structed the jury to return verdict of
not guilty.
John L. Burkhart was tried on charge
of keeping his bar open after hours. At
torney A. A. Lipscornb argued his case and
secured an acQuittal.
In the case of August Agselberger, charg-
with selling liquor on Sunday to girl, a
sale in the case was denied, but it was ad-
mitted that boarder in the house had
given the girl small quantity of liquor
for her mother. who was sick.
The jury disagreed and was discharged.

ANACOSTIk RAILROAD,
Committee From the Union to Call ON
the President.

There is much anxiety today in Anacostia
| in regard to the status of matters between
the Anacostia Railway Company and its
employees, and 1t is expected that the crisis
will be reached tomorrow morning. The
Whole situation was fully explained in The
Star of last evening, and there has been no
developments since that time.
About a month ago, as was fully stated
in The Star at the time, President Griswold
held conference with few of the leading
citizens and showed them from the books of
the company that the latter is not able to
pay $3.50 to its employees and keep the pres
ent force at work. and he offered to either
continue to pay that sum and take off a
part of the cars or keep all of the latter
running and reduce the pay to S1.25 and
keep all the men at work.
Following this were some informal con-
ferences between President Griswold and
officers of the Protective Street Railway
Urion, during which the latter stated that
the union could not consent to reduction
of wages, at the same time conceding Mr..
Griswold's right to reduce the number of
cars operated by the company.
At this point some of the citizens, who
were most active in support of the railway
men during the strike of last summer came
to the front and urged the men to accept
the reduced pay and let all the cars be run,
adopted had not the Street Railway Union
refused to allow them to do so.
A reduction in the number of cars now
ruI ming between Washington and Anacos-
tia will not meet with the approval of the
people who now patroniZe them. Mr.. Girls
void has, however, the pledge in writing of
100 of the best known people of the place,
including nearly every business man, stat
ing that they will cooperate with him in
carrying into effect any plan in reference
to the pay Of the employees of the company
that he might desire after October l. and
there seems to be no disposition on their
part to recede from the stand they then
took.
Meeting Today.
The members of the Protective Street
Railway Union held largely attended
meeting this morning at their headquarters
on Sth street, nearly every member not on
duty being present. The subject of the
Anacostia railroad trouble was very fully
discussed for several hours, and when an
adjournment took place at 1890 noon 1t
was with the understanding that the ex-
ecutive board, or such other persons whom
President Lawrence might select to accom-
pany him, would at once seek an interview
with President Griswold and ascertain
what are the best terms the company will
give their men, at the same time inform
ing him of the Intentions of the union.
The Railway Union will again convene
during this afternoon in order. it is under
stood, to hear the result of the visit of the
representatives of the union to Mr.. Girls

A MILLION FOR GOOD ROADS.
Recommendation to BE Made to the
Next Mnssachusetts LeEislature.

Recommendation to Be Made to the
Next Massachusetts Legislature.
Boston Letter to New York Post.
The last legislature appropriated 100000
for the construction of highways on the
new state system. The republican and
democratic state conventions this month
both declared in their platforms In favor of
good roads. The highway commission will
recommend to the next legislature, so they
tell me. that there be appropriated $1,000
600 in one sum for the continuation of the
work.
It is wonderful how this highway i'm
provement has jumped into popularity all
over the state. Doubtless the general use
of bicycles has had much to do with the
appreciation of smooth and hard surfaces
on which to wheel, and. if the workings of
wires under the surface could be traced
very likely it would be found that the
planks which appeared in the two state
platforms originated in the brains of wheel
men. But there Is no question that the
people are awaking to the advantage OF
good roads. and that the large expenditure
already incurred IS warmly approved by
the people.
the state commission have been received
from 30 Of the towns of the state or just
about two-thirds of the whole. Construc-
ton is actually going on in seventy differ
ent localities. About 100 miles have been
petitioned for already, and localities which
have been hostile. apparently from fear of
the county commissioners that their pres-
tige was to be interfered with, have come
around to favor the commission.
1t Is expected that out of the 10 700 miles
of road in the state, outside of the cities,
about 1000 will ultimately be taken under
the care Of the state, for 1t is a part Of the
system that after these roads have been
built. the state Is ever afterward responsible
for their maintenance. That is, about 10
per cent of all the roads will lie parts of
the state system. This is the proportion in
France, says Prof. N. s. Shaler. a member
of the commission, where $4,000 of the $780,
600 of national and departmental roads are
under the care of the national government.
The same proportion is observed in Austria,

Terrible Crime of an Alaskan In
dian Prompted by n Medicine Man.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
That murder will OUT Is well illustrated
in the case of the Rake Indian named Ahf
Chat. who is now a prisoner at Sitka, and
whose case will be tried by Judge Truitt at
that officials last term of court before re-
tirement
Ahf Chat was apprehended six weeks ago
by Deputy Marshal Harry Wallace of
Wrangle for Implication in the murder of
two traders on Kake Island about three
n onths ago. The Indian was well known
to the authorities through his ability to
stow away more whisky than any other
member of the tribe, and also on account of
his fighting proclivities when drunk On
account of past deeds of lawlessness off,
GERS had long been looking for him, but had
orly recently become aware of graver
crimes the Indian had committed other
than those with which he had already been
charged.
Almost year ago young Kake girl was
cruelty murdered. after being starved and
beaten until death came as relief.1t was
several months afterward before it became
known, and then it was an fmpossibility to
locate the wretches who were responsible
for the infamous crime. short time ago

seeing a new prisoner arrive, and with
whom he was apparently at enmity, told
the guards the tale Of horror
About ten months ago Ahf Chat had been

up a stack of twenty blankets the Shaman

cause of it. declaring her to be a witch.
The Kakes have no religious belief what

kan tribes. They believe an enemy can by
means of spells and charms work out evils,
shape destnies and finally destroy those
they wish to, which belief is taught and en-
couraged by the medicine men of the tribe.
If any one is sick he, upon Precipitation, at
orce de clares some person to be the cause,
and that person must either confess himself
a witch and promise to cease working in

NOsEGAYs OF THE PAST.
The Taste for Old-Fashioned Gardens
Has Been Revived.


From the Chicago News.
Most things move in cycles, and con-
tcmporaneously with the temperance of
our grandmothers' sleeves and petticoats
the taste for old-fashioned gardens is re-
vived. There is fresh call for the per-
eEnials and ANIMALS which enlivened the
borders of long ago, and those who are
fortunate enough to still possess these old
time gardens show with pride the long
treasured plants which have bloomed for so
many years. We are apt TO think that we
know a good deal more about flowers than
our progenitors, but the fact is there was
perhaps. more variety than there is today
in many of their collections. Much time is
given now to the development of perfect
specimens and to the cultivation of new
varieties, both in greenhouse and garden
but If we were to look over some of the
venerable catalogues we should find that if
We planted all that our grandsires did we
should have our hands and gardens full
without anything new. garden guide
printed in 1906 gives list of 400 hardy per-
eEnials. with 120 ANIMALS.
