TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT.

The West End League Stfll Protests
Against Using the Miner School.
Another meeting OF the West End Lsague
WIGS held last evening for the purpose of
considering the matter Of the Miner build
ing and the proposition to occupy 1t as q
public school for colored pupils who are to
be transferred from the Stevens building.
There was a general expression Of dissat-
isfaction at the action Of the Commission
ers in refusing to heed the protests Of the
league against the occupation Of the build
ing. and some very causttc remarks were
made about the board Of three who rule
the destinies of the District. It was de-
cided to Keep up the fight against the Miner
building, for, as was stated last evening,
the opposition is not against its being used
by colored children, but against its being
used as a school at all
A motion by Mr.. Smith for the appoint
ment Of a committee to look into the rights
of property owners near the Miner building
was carried. Col. Christy at once appointed
the following: Messrs. Boyd Smith. George
E. Emmons. Maj. B. P. Mimack, T. F. Sny-
der and Henry A. Willard.
A molten by Mr.. Bramhall for a COM
mittee to prepare a plan for permanent or
ganization was carried. and the committee
named as follows: Messrs. W. L. Bramhall,
John Tweedale, James E. Padgett, z. L.
Mcclellan and c. Thompson.

Police Looking for u Man Who Shot
at Mrs. Sarah klink.
The police authorities Of the second pre-
cinct are looking for young negro man
known to his associates by the name of
'tShafe," who on last Monday night shot
at Mrs. Sarah Klink, a white woman, who
keeps a small grocery store In the alley
between LIST and North Capitol streets and
L and Pierce streets northwest The shoot
ing was not reported to the. officers until
last night when the policeman on duty
heard CT 1t. The negro is known to them
ard they hope to capture him soon.
The trouble occurred about IL o'clock
Monday evening, when Mrs. Klink, with
several of her children. were sitting in front
Of her little place Of business enjoying the
fresh air. The negro. "Shafe,'' who is
spoken of as an habitual drunkard and
loafer, was walking up the alley called
from the liquor he had been inb.bing during
the day and that night, and staggering
up to where Mrs. Klink and the children
were sitting. he looked around and with
a vicious remark seized the chair in which
the youngest of the children was sitting.
at the same time attempting to throw its
occupant to the ground. The child grasped
the chair and screamed. the mother of
the child jumped from her seat and order
ed the man to leave the chair alone and go
away from her place. The negro told her
h. wanted to sit down ana proposed to
have the chair. Then he walked to the
other side Of the alley. and drawing a pis-
toll, fired one shot in the direction of the
group. The fellow was not more than fif-
teen or twenty feet away from the people
he was shooting at, but the ball did not hit
any one.
When the shot was fired the whole neigh
borhcod was aroused, and in moment the
alley was filled with men and women. most
ly color ed people. All was excitement. and
while the crowd was endeavoring to find out
what the matter was the offender ran up
the alley and made his escape. The family
at when he had shot were too thoroughly
frightened to talk and Immediately went
indoors and locked up their house. They
do not speak English very inteligibly. so
that the officers to whom they reported the
matter had quite difficult task getting at
the details of the affair.
The man who fired the shot is described
as a good-sized fellow, about twenty years
old, but no one seems to know his name.
as "Shafe" is the only designation he ever
Gains in that vicinity.

Husband and Wife Found Dead on the
Kitchen Floor of Their Home-In n Room
Was Revolver With Three Chambers
Empty.
New York, Sept. 25.-Robert Fair, an
insurance agent, forty years old, was
found dead shortly before noon to-day
in his apartments on the second floor
of No. 507 Third avenue with a pistol
shot wound i'm his left breast.
His wife, Maggie, aged thirty-five
years, was also found dead, having
been shot through the left temple.
The revolver was found in the parlor
with three chambers empty.
The police of the East Thirty-fifth
street station reported it as a case OF
supposed murder and suicide.
The couple had been drinking for
some time, it is said.
The bodies were found lying in the
kitchen by Policeman John F. Clarker
DIR. A. M. Stewart who lives in the
apartments under those of Fair told
this story:
"The Fairs have lived here for five
years. He was a perfect gentleman
and the couple We're very affectionate
Last winter Fair had the grip and
since then he had been very ugly. II
was the same way when, he had the grip
two years ago. He was an agent of the
New YORK Life Insurance company, and
1 think he insured the lives of children
"Fair kept at work, but four months
ago he began to drink and his wife fol
lowed his example. Fair told me re-
Gently that he had lost his agency
which had been paying him $50 week
Last Saturday Mrs. Fair went out and
| did not return until last night. While
