AN ATTACHMENT ISSUED.
Slapped a Teachers Face and For
feited Collateral.

Slapped Teachers Face and For
feited Collateral.
Yesterday afternoon there was a lively
scene in the Van Buren school, in Ana
costa. when the principal of the building,
Mr.. Selden M. Ely. and A. e. Thorn,
resident of Twining City. came together.
Mr.. Thorn was there to avenge an al
legged wrong committed on his young
brother Clarence by the principal. and as
they could not come to terms on a peace
able basis. Mr.. Thorn, it is alleged. slapped
the school teachers face and left the build
ing. The affair caused considerable excite
ment among the children in the school,
ard Policeman Robey responded to a call
for policeman He met Mr.. Thorn on
the st t, and the latter told him that he
had slapped the teachers face and went
with him to the police station, where he
left $40 collateral for his appearance.
1t appears that Clarence Thorn, who at
tends the sixth grade, had figured in a
fight in the school yard. and when he en-
tered the building afterward he claims
that the principal called him to account
and tore his clothes.
Clarence went directly home and reported
the affair, and his report called out his
older brother, who took the law in his own
hands. When the case was called In the
Police Court this morning Mr.. Thorn failed
to appear, and his collateral was forfeited.
This amount was deemed insufficient by
the prosecuting officer. and an attach
ment was issued to bring him into court.
The case may be heard tomorrow.

During IL Fire Annie Pitt Took Many
Valuab1es.
e PHILADELPHIA, March 2O-Annie Pitt
colored, who robbed Mrs. Brooks of this
city of $500 in money and valuabIes, cloth
ing. jewelry. &C.. Ind who was arrested in
Harrisburg last night after a long chase
attempted to commit suicide this morning
in her cell in the city hall. After she had
finished her breakfast she said to the de-
tective: What would you do If you were
in my placer"
The detective told her the best thing to
do was to make full confession.
Mrs. Pitt, seizing the knife with which
she had been eating her breakfast, said:
Il will end it all now." and commenced
saving on her throat with the dull blade
The detective overpowered her before she
could injure herself seriously.
She was given a hearing at the court.
She exouerated from all blame Mr.. and
Mrs. Douglas, who were arrested on Satur-
day for receiving stolen goods, saying
that they had no knowledge of where she
secured the money she had given them.
She testified that her husband left her at
Bel Air, Md, and said he was going to
Boston. Since then she had not heard from
him. Mrs. Pitt said her husband had about
800 when he left her. and this was all the
money she had left out of the $500. with
the exception of 800, which Is deposited
in Harrisburg bank. The prisoner was
held for further hearing.
Mrs. Pitt had been a servant in the
Brooks family for thirteen years, and had
sole charge of the house. When the rob-
berry and fire occurred, in November last,
Mrs. Brooks had not the slightest idea
that her trusted servant was the guilty
party. but when. on January 1, Mrs. Pitt
decided to leave for Florida, Mrs. Brooks
became suspicious. She did not place the
case in the hands of detectives until few
days ago, since which time they have fol-
lowed Mrs. Pitt to Havre de Grace, Nd,
Rock Run, Bel Air. Md, York, Pa, and
finally to Harrisburg. where she was caught
last night The money was spent for ex-
pensive clothing and trtnkets and given to
people who "bled'' her.

COULDN'T BEAR DISEASE.
Wilmington, Del. Man Preferred
the III He Knew Not OF.

the III He hnew Not Of.
WILMINGTON, Del, March 2O.-Harry
Kienle, who lived with himself and family
at No. 1916 West I'd street. committed
suicide this morning by shooting himself
with shotgun. The charge from the gun
bored a big hole in the mans body, and
death followed almost instantly. The sui
eide was undoubtedly premeditated, as all
the Indications point to the fact that
Kienle set about in cool. deliberate
way to take his own life. He had been in
Ill health for several years and had suffer-
ed much agony from a complication Of
diseases. About o'clock this morning he
arose from bed and went down to the sit
ting room.
The sound of gunshot soon after caused
lis wife to spring from her sleep In terror.
Ehe hastened down stairs to the sitting
rccm. A lamp was dimly burning, and by
the light of it she recognized the form of
her husband lying on his back on the floor.
The gun was found to contain one empty
shell. and the suppositon Is that Kienle
held the gun with the muzzle touching his
body and pulled the trigger with his toe.
Before taking his life Kierle wrote sew
eral letters to his family anu friends.
To John Hammer he addressed a note,
saying: Il thank you for the gun you loan
cd me some time ago 1t came in good
place this morning"
Kienle was we'll to do and had retired
from business two years ago.

KILLED IN THE STREET
A Small Boy Run Over by a Delivery
Wagon.
Tragedy ON Thirteenth Street This
AftcrnOOn-Statemen Of
Bystanders.

At half-past this afternoon one Of NJ.
w. Beveridge's delivery wagons ran over
a little boy named Louis Bachsmid on 18th
street, oppo site the Builders Exchange,
and killed him. The accident was seen by
number of bystanders, who give uniform
ly the same account of it.
The driver, a colored boy, was not urg-
ing his horse, which was at the time going
at a very moderate pace. The wagon was
loaded with barrels. and the vehicle was a
little to the left Of the center of the street
and going northward up the slight hill at
that point
In Front of the Team.
The little boy was crossing the street,
and got just about eight feet from the
curb on the west side Of the street, when
the driver seemed to become aware of the
boys presence. and picked up the reins
Whether he pulled the wrong rein or did
not have control of the horse Is not clear,
but the animal jumped to the left. directly
toward the boy. knocked him down. and in
an instant the nigh fore wheel of the
wagon had passed over him.
There was a groan from the bystanders,
and dozen men rushed to pick up the
form of the boy. In a moment from the
upholstery store at 724 18th street came the
father of the boy, Paul Bachsmid, who had
been looking out of an upstairs window
just before and saw his boy playing safely
on the sidewalk. Louis was carried into
his home. where his agonized mother ten
derly laid him on her bed and asked him
where he was hurt, while several messen-
gers ran for doctors. The little fellow
had his hand on his breast and said 1t
hurt there, and in a few moments gasped
and died.
He was remarkably bright and beauti-
full lad, about eight years old, and business
men In the neighborhood regarded him as
pet. Several Of the bystander5 declared
it was sheer carelessness on the part Of the
driver that caused the accident.
AT Mr.. Beveridge's store no one could tell
which of their drivers 1t was. The man
drove or uptown after the boy was picked
up. and seemed to think no serious harm
had ,aaan dona

CHARGED With LARCENY
Alleged Swindling Of q Number Of Gro
oerymen
One Youthful Offender Pleads Guilty
to Thefts Of Goods-AInkes
an Appeal.

Arthur Simmons, colored son of the col
ored messenger who has done service at
the White House for many years, was ar
rested yesterday by Precinct Detective Nc
Glue OF the third precinct. and locked up
on a charge Of larceny. Last night his
father gave bail in the sum of $500 for him.
and he was released. The arrest of Sim
mons, who is about thirty years old, was
the result Of complaints made by grocery
men concerning the manner in which they
had parted with their goods to a colored
man. This man, it is charged is Arthur
Simmons, jr.. the defendant in the case.
1t is alleged that he would go to a store
and purchase groceries amounting to only
IL or -, and would tender in payment a
$5O bill. This. of course, the merchants
could not change. and the man would or
der the goods sent to some house where he
said he was employed. In each case the
man would meet the wagon driver at the
door or gate and take the goods.
There were three charges of this kind
against Simmons In the Police Court this
Buhler. Walter White and Anson T. Ward.
Lawyer Darlington appeared as his coun-
sci. and demanded jury trials.
The cases may be heard later In the
week.
Youthful Culprit.
George Lewis. a fourteen-year-old boy
who has been employed in the furniture
store of Craig & Harding, was given a
trial on three charges of larceny, it being
alleged that he stole blankets and drapery
from his employers.
The youthful defendant admitted his
guilt. He had taken the stolen articles
home, and told his mother that they were
remnants, and his mother never suspected
for an instant that he had come by them
wrongfully.
When Precinct Detective Helan was call
ed to investigate the case he soon arrested
the boy, and recovered the goods.
Have you ever been arrested before?"
the court asked.
mo. SIR" answered the boy. 'This is
my first time, and it will be my last"
Judge Miller then explained to the boy
that he was under conviction. and told him
that if he again does a dishonest act he
is penitentiary offense.
Then I'll never be charged with that,
said the boy. This is my last
What made you do this?"
II don't know
There were three charges against him,
and he was fined so or twenty days in
each case.
Two Jars of Milk.

boys, were given a hearing on charge Of
having stolen two jars Of milk from the
front door of Charles CRAFTS house. They
were fined 81 each.

arraigned on a charge Of the larceny of a
set of harness from stable, and he plead
guilty. AS he had been convicted of theft
on another occasion. the court held him
for the grand jury. and he was committed

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, March 2O.-Opening prices
were fractionally higher this morning.
but subsequently became irregular under
the reactionary tactics of the professional
element. In the main this latter movement
was confined with fractional limits varying
from IA to 3-4 per cent.
The larger commission houses report q
good demand for low-priced stocks 0f
merit. and are advising purchases OF such
on all concessions from the present level.
The general tone of the street is daily
growing more hopeful. and the opinion
prevails that an advancing market, subject
to the natural periods Of reactions. win
shortly force pessimism, as a dominating
influence, out of the market The prospects
for a higher money market continue en-
couraging, and have already had a bene-
fetal effect on the market for foreign ex-
change.
The rates quoted in the latter market
this morning reflect distinctly easier
tone, fractional concessions from yester-
day being noted. There has been no i'm
portant addition to the supply of bills. but
bankers anticipate liberal offerings in the
near future, due to purchases Of our Sc
curities for foreign account.
The bond syndicate is directly respon-
money, and for the direct purpose Of en-
abling it to keep gold from going abroad
in accordance with its contract with the
government. Merchants have assisted the
movement by an extension Of credit, due
to the encouraging outlook for improved
trade conditions, which necessitates lib
eral additions to stocks depleted during
the depression following the panic.
These and similar influences previously
referred to have discouraged traders from
any extension of the short interest. Some
idea of the short interest originally In the
market may be had when 1t is stated that
the In terest on that side Of the market in
some of the stocks most onsoicuous in the
recent advance varies now from 1000 to
$4,000 shares New Jersey Central was
sold down by traders on the belief that the
advance had already proceeded as far as
the most favorable outcome OF tomorrows
meeting would warrant.
Reading having everything to gain by
any change for the better in the anthracite
situation, was marked up on a fair volume
of business. Northwest sold down 1-2 per
cent, but was well supported at the decline
by the recently formed bull pool. The in
creased traffic in iron ore during the COM
ing month is relied upon to bring the COM
pany earnings up to point justifying an
advance.
Distillers was strong at a per cent adj
vance. due to q good demand from the
friends of the property, who recognize ttS
earning capacity under conscientious
management.

The Alleged Present to Queen LII.

The Honolulu Advertiser, which has just
arrived here, clears up a mystery which
has long puzzled officials here, as to an
entry in ex-Queen Liliuokalani's diary,
stating that on the day specified President
Clevelands present had been received by
her. 1t was at once denied here that the
President had even sent u present to the
ex-queen. The Advertiser now explains
that Mrs. Dominis received copy of the
report of the board of public works Of Chi
cago for the year 1898. Some one had
taken the trouble to cover it handsomely in
cloth, and had also secured the personal
cards of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Gresham.
The cards, the paper says, were placed in
side the volume, with a suitable statement
of regard on forwarding it. The ex-Queen
old not doubt the genuineness of the pres
ept, it seems, nor suspect that some prac-
teal joker had been at work, and according
ly made the entry in her diary. The Homo
lulu paper states that the report contained
plenty of useful Information that could be
used to advantage by a progressive mon
archy."

WASHINGTON. Aug 27.-Librarian Spot
ford, in view Of various conflicting state
ments regarding the sum of 81, 400 paid
by him into the treasury last week, was
asked what the amount really represented.
He replied that it was approximately the
amount due the treasury on balance of
copyright and salary accounts, as he
found it.
Unfavorablc and wholly wrong construc-
ton, he said, had been placed upon it as
representing "a large deficit, whereas it was
actually balance between two accounts, Il
salary account due the librarian for several
months disbursements, and an account
due the government for several months
copyright fees. These accounts had re-
maincd unsettled, although constant pay
ments had been made by him.
He cmphatically denied any allegation
that the recent payment was made To
make good any wrongful withholding OF
moneys due to the government. On the
contrary the whole matter involved bal
ancing OF delayed accounts, which his ac
cumulated labors. constantly growing
| had too long postponed.
