statement credited to Secretary Morton
that the carcasses were turned over to
men working for the health department,
he said that while this company had con-
tract with the District for the removal of
dead animals. a permit had also been issued
to Patrick Manp giving the latter author
ity to remove dead animals. Under this
authority, Mr.. Bayly said, Mr.. Mann had
the right to cart undresSed animals through
the city.
The reporter then went to the business
place of Mr.. Mann on It'll street. Mr.. Mann
was not in, but one of his sons said that
he had no knowledge that these animals
were removed from the experiment station
by his father.
Ment Inspection Not Protective.
A correspondent of The Star, referring to
the statement published yesterday, writes !:
Several queries are suggested by this
statement as eminently pertinent: l. What
sanitary collection company" received the
diseased carcasses in question?
=. Is there any such company in this Dis
trict. or are there any parties Who may be
so classed aside from the garbage collect
ing company?
3. Why was rot the health officer of the
District applied to by the department OFF,
cial who condemned these cattle rather
than the company named?
4. Were any steps taken looking to the
prosecution of the party or parties who put
this diseased meat upon the market here,
and If not, why not?
Another instance cited by the official re-
ferred to in The Stars article as indicat-
ing the Inability of the departme to pre-
vent the sale of diseased meat after its
condemnation is that of the sale, in the
Chicago markets, of the meat of a steer
which had been condemned by depart
ment inspector.
II, as is reported to have been the fact
in this case, the condemned steers carcass
could be taken from the tank by an en-
ploye. under orders. and sold as beef in
the Chicago market, what was there to
prevent its shipment to and sale in this
city? i
In his own interest. and that of other
consumers of Chicago meats, the writer
would respectfully suggest 20 Secretary
Morton the ACCESSIBILITY of his asking Con-
gress for such additional legislation as,
from his lcttor to the mayor Of Chicago,
quoted in your article. appears to be in
dispensable to prevent both local and in
terstate marketing in this country of con-
denSed meats Apparently, from the Sec
retarys letter. immunity is now secured
only to foreign markets by the inspection
laws. &c
A DeHial From DcsfOn.
DR.. Salmon. chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, today received a telegram
from Inspector Daniel d. Lee. in charge
Of the meat inspection at Boston. Mass,
denying that in the meat inspection work
at that place the inspection stamps are
Cancelled and pasted upon the sides and
ends of boxes before the boxes are put to-
2ether, and that stamps are left lying
about the room where the stamping Is
dore. Or. Salmon said that such practices
regulations, ard that the answer of DIR.
Lee convinced him that the charges of
carelessness in the work at this particular
point are wholly without foundation.

Fannie HIS House Was Rafded Inst
Night.
Fannie Hill. colored woman, who keeps
low dive on IL IL street, was before
Judge Miller for keeping bawdy house.
Her counsel, Lawyer Darlington, entered
plea Of guilty and asked the court to i'm
pose fine III the case.
Policeman Fathers raided the house last
evening and found several young boys
there. He knew that the boys were in
there and that was why he made the raid.
Counsel explained that his client was not
at home when the raid was made, and
said she was down the river.
That is no excuse" said the court; ''she
must not expect that she can go down the
river and leave her doors open for the re-
ception of youths
Commenting on the case the Judge said
that movement had been started to keep
boys out of the Division" and it is a
very commendable thing. For years, the
judge said, boys have been permitted to go
there without being interrupted or trou-
bed, and he is glad that such move has
at last been made.
Fannie was given two months in Jail.

VIRGINIA's RESPONSIBILITY.
Judge Chichester on the Lawlessnes
in Alexandria County.

III SouhtSs
Correspondence of The Evening Star.
FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, Va, May 81.
A reporter for The Star called on Judge
D. NJ Chichester of the Alexandria county
court, at Fairfax Court House, yesterday
to learn his views on the general state Of
lawlessness existing in Alexandria county
at this time.
In his conversation the judge said: This
whole middle is brought about by Gov.
OsFerrall having signed the two bills legal
;zing the race tracks and putting the liquor
traffic in the hands of an excise board.
Why" he said, Il would not grant Ii
cense in the county, and there was not one
licensed saloon within its borders. 1t is a
well known fact that in the rear of every
saloon there is a gambling den, and for
this reason I refused to grant the licenses
asked for. I am bitterly opposed to the
number of saloons now in the county, but
what can we do about it?''
what is your opinion of the coming
elections in the county," was asked by the
reporter. We'll" said the judge "I am
nightly afraid Dick Johnson and his fol-
lowers will get in again, and if he does I
think we might as well give up all hope.
But if any reputable citizen will bring
charges of neglect of duty against any of
the officers of the county and sustain them
I would then have the matter in my own
hands and could impeach him."
The reporter told him Of the proposition of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-05-21

Judge j. K. NJ. Norton of the corporation
court of Alexandria city to prosecute such
cases as were reported with evidence, and
it pleased him nightly. why" he said
eff Judge Norton will do that it will GER
tainly accomplish great deal of good and
1 hope it is true. What We want is for
good men like him to take hold of the mat
ter and We will be able to rid the county
of all its pest holes.'
The judge was of the opinion that when
an Indictment left the grand jury that was
the end of 1t. Let the big game be
brought in,' he said, "those fellows that
wear silk hats, dress fiashily, wear d;a-
monds and play for large stakes. If we can
get them then the little fellows, penny crap
shooters, &C., will be scared off, but it
don't look like 1 am to have the pleasure
of trying any of them"
Messrs. R. Walton Moore and Joseph E.
Willard, who is now member of the Vir-
ginia legislature, who talked with The Star
reporter on the subject are both of the
opinion that the entire matter has gotten
beyond county control, and believe that
legislative action is the only salvation.

FINANCE AND TRADE
Apprehension of an Extra Session of
Congress Passes Away.
ANOTHER BOND ISSUE MORE LIKELY

Stocks.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May 21.-The apprehension
noticed at the close of business yesterday.
growing out of the possibilities of an extra
session Of Congress, gave way to a more
reasonable Interpretation of the significance

come tax cases. and prices improved in
consequence. The federal treasury, while
relying upon the defeated measure to in
crease Its revenues, is in no danger of ex-
haustlng Its resources before Congress is
again convened in regular session. A bond
issue, undesirable as it may be, is generally
regarded as the more probable of the two
hnes OF conduct open to the government
In the event of urgent financial need. Talk
OF the latter will be heard from time to
time throughout the summer, but it is
more than probable that the only founda-
ton for it will be discovered to be desire

London did very little in our market this
morning, the trading at that center being
held in check pending tomorrow's settle
ments. Should these settlements proceed
without difficulty, it is likely that a re-
sumption of foreign buying will be noted
among the more prominent features at the
close of the week.
Traders who were conspicuous sellers of
the Granger shares late yesterday after
mum were equally aCuNe IN the recovery OF
such shares this morning, with the result
usually incident to the process of covering
snort sales. All the stocks in the group
We're advanced full point on good vol
ume OF business. Northern Pacific prefer
red was sold rather freely by those in
possession of the last information relative
10 the company's future plans. The bonds,
however, find willing purchasers in antici-
patton of some favorable developments of
an important character.
tennessee Coal and Iron continues strong
en- further buying Of round lots by inter-
ests not far removed from the manage
ment. The volume Of business accorded
this stock indicates a steadily improving
business condition, as well as pending
financial negotia tons of q decidedly advan-
tageous nature.
Chicago Gas sold up per cent in direct
opposition to prevailing sentiment, and
rumors of extensive stock liquidation on
the part of the new interests in the prop
erty. The seeming impossibility of secur-
ing unbiased legislation in either city or
state has discouraged the present holders
of the largest interests in the property and

holdings.
Sugar was taken in hand by it's friends
and marked up to 119 on liberal purchases.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 21.-Mr Allen W.

WAS II SUICIDE:
Body of Is. Il. Richards Found in ST.
Mnry's CGunty.


Mai Moore received letter this morn
ing from L. 2. Combs a resident of St.
Mary's county, Nd, giving information
concerning the finding of the body Of a
man in the river. 1t is supposed to lie
that of Col. b. B. Richards of this city. ac-
cording to the statement in the letter. This
appears to be the conclusion of Mr. Combs
and others after they had searched the
mans pockets and found letters and pawn
tickets on him. Mr.. Combs, whose letter
was dated at Potomac Beach, says tbs
body was well dressed and had been in
the river about six days.
The body was taken from the river and
buried in the sand. while the magistrate,
who is the county coroner, holds the let
tiers and pawn ticket.
The body and effects may be had by adj
dressing him at Valley Lee, ST. Mary's
county Valley Lee is only a few miles
below Leonardtown, where the river steam
ers stop.
Inspector Hollinberger detailed Detective
Quinlan to make an investigation. The
name 3. B. Richards does not appear in
any Washington directory during the past
fifteen years, nor could anybody be found
today who knew such q man.
There is no doubt that the dead man
has been in Washington, as the pawntick-
cts found on him bear the advertisement Of
Fl. K. Fulton, the local pawnbroker. Five
such tickets were found on MIN. 1t is
thought he committed suicide.
At the city POST office the name of B. b.
Richards is not known.

If a paperSreceives credit for
having q hrger circulation
than it really enjoys, a reason
exists for withholding from
the advertiser the actual cir

ing customers with ".about"

ton that il is proud of and
each Saturday prints a detailed
