MURDERED--FOR WHAT?
Aged Farmer Trevitt Had His Throat Gu,
but No Money Was Taken.

ASSu faTner iTeNltt haQ Ills throat Cut,
but No Money Was Taken.
Fort Scott, Kan, March 16.-Louis L..
Trevitt, the aged ranehman;~ whose iden-
tification last July by a twenty eight
year-old son whom he had never seen was
published as remarkable romance, was
to-day found murdered in his house on the
ranch. He was lying on the floor of one
Of the rooms with his throat cut from car
to ear
On his person was found 500 in gold
and currency, which leads to the belief
that he was not killed for what little
money he had on his person. A deep
design is suspected and there is much ex-
citement over the affair.
Treyitt left his wife in Bates county,
Mo-, many years ago, and came to this
city where he married another woman
without having secured a divorce. He
left an unborn son in Bates county, now
Noah s. Trevitt, twenty eight years old,
living near Fulton, Kan.
The first Mrs. Trevitt married James
Boiling fifteen years ago, and is also living
in Fulton county. The father was tdenti-
fled by the son by broken finger of which
his mother had told him.
He had been living alone on his large
farm, and was evidently sitting Before
his fire smoking when he was killed. He
was eighty-four years old.

A Ring Cut Ont of a sinsie niamond

A ring SO cut was exhibited at the Ant
werp exhibition, where it was the admira-
ton of the diamond cutters and merchants,
being the first successful attempt to cut
ring out of a single stone.s There are
great many difficulties in this method Of
cutting diamonds as the stones have GER
tain cleavage and particular. veins, all Of
which have to be carefully studied in order
to prevent the splitting of the stone just as
success seems within reach After several
unsuccessful attempts and three years
labor. the feat was accomplished by the
patience and skill of NJ Antoine, one of the
best known lapidaries of Antwerp. The
ring is about six -eighths of an inch in diam

The District Basket ban League series
closed last night with a game between
the Washington Light Infantry and CO.
lumbia Athletic Club teams in the gym
nasium of the latter, before the largest
audience of the season.
The Infantry boys won by the score
of to O.. Both teams played snappy,
free passing game, and full of brilliant
plays and excellent blocking, and en-
urely free from Rough playing.
Considering the fact that neither team
has had any practice during the past
week, both old strong work and il was any
body's game until the whistle blew for
the call of time at the last inning. 1t was
one of the best games of the SERIES
For the Infantry McCabe, Beavans and
j. Shafflrt did goOdeSll-around work,
and for the Columbia Athletic Club
Magee, Beall and McQuade played their
usual quick, strong game.
AT the close of the game the president

championship to the Columbia Athletic
Club, which had won five games and lost
one. The Infantry has second place,
having won four and lost three, and the
Washington Athletic Club last, with one
game won and six lost.
The trophy which was to have been
presented last night did not arrive in
time, and it has been decided to present

A Handsome New Building on Ca pitol Hi,

"A HanuSOinc new tapItOl HIN
Messrs. William Hahn & Co.. the enter
prising shoe dealers, have just completed
one of the most attractive structures on
Capitol Hill. The store VIII be occupied
by the firm on Monday, and will be, with
out exception, one of the handsomest shoe
by 100 feet, four stories, with copper and
brick front, surmounted by handsome
Spanish tiled tower. The windows from
store to attic are all of French plate. The
storeroom is the full length of the building,
fifteen feet in height, and has a handsome
metallic ceiling.
The shelving and offices are all of polished
oak, interspeTsed here and there with large
mirrors, and is lighted by both gas and cleo
tricity. The upper portion of the house
is divided off into flats two OF each of seven
rooms, kitchen, and tiled bathroom, and
the upper story is a four-room flat. These
flats have all the latest appliances and are
specially designed for combination dwell
ings and offices. The whole building is
heated by hot water, the floors are all
double and noiSeleSs, and every room bright
and we'll ventilated.
b. Patrick is the architect; August Goatz,
the carpenter; Pat Bresnahan, the brick
layer: Fred Tip, the plumber. JouTenal &
Smith, the stonemen; w. d. Campbell fur
lished lumber and mill work; e. N. Gray &

With the completion of this building tie
Messrs. William Hahn & Co. will carry on
all three establishments in buildings of
their own. They attribute their 81 c.
cess largely to liberal advertising, but we
think good shoe values sold at right
prices have much to do with their we'll
deserved prosperity.

HE TRIED TO KILL HIS WIFE
W. I. Dean Was Drunk and Fired Pistol
Point Blank at Her

A pistol shot, followed by cries of
murder! murder!" drew together an ex-
cited crowd on Seventh street northwest,
just above R street, early last evening
The cries proceeded from No. 1851 Seventh
street, the home of William T. Dean.
While the crowd was still speculating
as TO the cause OF the outcries, Policeman
w. j. Barbee arrived and soon learned that
Dean, who is a laborer, had gone home
earlier in the evening very drunk After
abusing his wife and striking her several
times, he secured a revolver, and pointing
1t at her, fired.
Dean was too much under the influence
of liquor to take accurate aim, and the
bullet went wide OF its mark To this
fact Mrs. Dean probably owes her life.
Policeman Barbee arrested Dean and
he was taken to police station No g. where
the charge Of carrying concealed weapons
was preferred against him. The prisoner
has bad. reputation among the police
men, and is said to be a general tough
character, policy writer, and gambler.

Hard luck has already hit the Senators.
Up to Friday night four games had been
postponed If the old adage of bad be-
ginning augurs a good ending is to be
verified, what a glorious close the Wash
ingtons VIII have. kilograms from Dixie's
land have told the story that inclement
weather prevails in Charleston and Savan-
nah. and as a consequence the games with
the Brooklyn team were not played.
Manager schmelz is not disconsolate;
neither are the players discouraged, but
the rain has deprived them of a neat little
sum. However, they are holding up under
the circumstances with Characteristic dig
nifty. All are trying hard TO get into con-
dition, and, while prevented from doing
practical work, they are exercising in
ether ways
Joyce has not yet reported, and this
fact has given talk to a deal with Cleve-
land whereby the Spiders viii get the

Just how the local cranks in washing
ton viii take TO a trade OF this kind is hand
TO conjecture. The friends of Joyce v i'll
not want 10 see MN 80 away Out mere IS
no question as to the betterneut of last
years captain of the Senators. He is
dissatisfied with the management I'm this
city, and he would certainly be an at
Traction as a member Of the Cleveland team
en- It's visits TO the country's capital.
McGaTr would really be an Improvement
on third because OF his fielding He is
also a good base-runner, and not weak
hitter by any means. His presence on the
team would also create a more pleasant
feeling, in that be is man OF easy dis
position and agreeable under all ciIcum-
stances. While Joyce is perhaps a stronger
batter than McGarr, the chances are that
the latters other qualifications viii equal
up things
