CRUSHED BY AN ELEVATOR.
Martin Murphy Suddenly Met His
Death In the War Department.

Martin Murphy Suddenly Met HIS
Death In the War Department..
Martin Murphy colored, an elevator con-
ductor in the State, War and Navy De-
partment building, was instantly killed
" lille OH duty yesterday afternoon about 4
o'clock. TIE clerks were leaving the de-
partme mt about the time of the accident
ar d became excited when they learned of
its serious nature. Murphy had charge of
one of the elevators on the 18th street side
of the building. 1t is run by hydraulic
pressure, and is worked by a lever instead
of the usual cable. Murphy had lowered
the elevator to the basement and stepped
out of 1t for moment. He had thrown
the lever back. but it evidently did not
catch, for almost instantly the handle of
the lever worked back end the elevator
began to ascend slowly. 1t had risen about
two feet from the floor when Murphy no
ticed it. He thought he had time to re-
gain the car and stop its upward progress.
He jumped for the car and landed with
the upper half of his body on the floor,
with the pit Of his stomach resting on the
edge. Before he could haul himself in the
car reached the ceiling of the basement
ard crushed his life out before assistance
of any kind could he rendered. The OPP
Grafton was so sudden and complete that
the victim died without being able even to
utter a groan. The accident was discov-
cred almt st INN edately after it's occur
reroe and steps were taken to revive the
victim, but 1T was too late. The coroner
was notified and after short examination
decided that an inquest was unnecessary.
He gave a certificate of accidental death.
Murphy was married and lived with his
family at 426 L street, where the remains
were carried. He was about forty years
of age and lad been employed at the de-
partment for several years.

PLACES FOR PUSH CARTS.
Another Order of the Comm issiOners
Creates Dissatisfaction.

Another Order of the Comm fssiOners
Creates Dissatisfaction.
The Commissioners have found a new use
for the sidewalk on Pennsylvania avenue
and 7tn street, in front of the Center mar
ket, and their action seems to have dis
pleased all concerned. They have desig-
mated this pavement as the place for the
use of push cart vendors, and the push
carts are permitted to stand directly rpon
the foot pavement next TO the iron fence
nclosing the parking. Merchants in the
market who pay big rents think the action
of the Commissioners is an Injustice to
them, because the push cart vendors pay
nothing for the occupation Of the pave
ment, and their business Is In direct COM
petition with that of so many fruit deal
ers inside the market only few feet from
where some OF the carts stand. Even the
push cart men do not like the idea of hay
stand along the line of the curb, but this
the police will not permit IN the vicinity
of Pennsylvania avenue and TIN street,
now that the order of the Commissioners
mas gone into effect.
When Lieutenant Amiss received the Or
der he had an Interpreter call on the for
eigners and explain to them what would
be required Of them under the new order
of things.
The Commissioners probably passed the
regulation because under the act Of Con-
gress giving them power to make regula-
lions is this provision:
ITO locate the places where licensed ven
ders on streets and public places shall
staStl, and change them as often as the pub
lie interests lequire, and TO make all the
necessary regulations governing their con-
duct upon the streets in relation to bust
ness"
Although this is part Of the law, the
authority of the Commissioners to desig-
nate the sidewalk for business purposes
is questioned by lawyers who profess to
be acquainted with the laws on this sub
ject.
Under the law of 1856 it is claimed the
occupation of the sidewalk is prohibited.
and in the decision of Judge Cox it Is said
the question involved in this particular
case was covered. and it was stated this
morning by member Of the legal profess
sion that If a citizen would swear out a
warrant for some of these push cart mer-
chants the court could not do other than
decide the case in manner which would
render void the action of the Commission
erS.

Contractors and Local Politics.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In the article headed white Men Want
ed" which appeared in The Evening Star
of yesterday, relating TO suffrage In the
District, and local republican politics, the
names of three persons are mentioned, and
it is said that they "have determined to
name the white delegate that will go from
this city Ito the national republican con-
vention) and in the event that two white
delegates are sent, they will see that both
of them are friendly to themselves. These
men are contractors, and they give en-
ployment to thousands of men, and, it is
claimed. will instruct their employees to
only vote for such men as delegates to the
District convention as are favorable to
their candidates to the national conven-
tton.'
That is good, let the ball roil let US have
free suffrage in the District so that these
contractors may, by the simple process of
instructing their employees how and for
whom to VOTE control the legislation for
the community, keep in official position
only such men as are favorable to them,
and grow fat at the expense Of the people.
Those will be joyous times-for the con-
tractors.
Again it is said: These men have their
choice to whom the national conven-
ton should select as the republican stand
ard bearer in the reTt campaign, and al
though they differ in their choice, this will
not enter into their agreement upon a
white delegate favorable to them.
One is favorable to the candidacy of Sen
ator Allison another is interesting him
self in the Reed cause. and the third is
fgf ting for Mckinley; yet the first two
have agreed upon the other "as their man
to so as delegate to the convention"
What noble patriots! They are willing to
sacrifice their respective idols to secure
harmony in the combine. They believe in
principles (and intcrests). not men.
With such mer. SO deeply interested in
the cause of suffrage, and promising, in
advance. to lead the voters by instruct
ing" them, I do not see why any one should
be opposed to suffrage. Do you? C. b.

NORTHEAST WASHINGTON
Some Views of the President of the Citizens
Association.
An Attempt to BE Made to Formulate
Plan for Improving
the Streets.

"a casual glance at the street improve
ment map. which accompanies the last an
nual report of the Commissioners, will SUI
| flee to convince any one of the necessity for
taking measures for the improvement of
the streets Of Northeast Washington" said
Evan H. Tucker, president Of the Northeast
Washington Citizens Association, to a Star
reporter today.
An Important Subject.
'The Northeast Washington Citizens AS
ISOLATION is fully justified" continued Mr..
Tucker, in undertaking the stupendous
work. which will be the subject for consid-
GRAFTON at a meeting on Monday evening,
when that map will be displayed by the
stereopticon. Sixty-fve per cent of all
the streets in Northeast Washington have
never been graded, and are in state of
nature.
When our people discuss this question
they invariably make comparisons of this
section with other sections Of the city, COM
plain that we have not gotten our share of
the improvements and criticise the authori-
ties for what they call unjust discrimina-
ton. Our object is not to complain about
what has or what has not been done in the
past, but to take the matter as we fini it,
and endeavor to formulate comprehensive
and practical plan for the improvement of
all the streets in Northeast Washington in
a reasonable time"
Menser Appropriations.
Are not the streets of Northeast Wash
ington being rapidly improved?" Mr..
Tucker was asked.
only 30 per cent of the streets in North
east Washington are improved, and, when
you consider the meager appropriations
which are made by Congress from year to
year for street Improvement, how many
people now living do you think will see all
of the streets improved? The appropria-
ton for street improvements in Northeast
Washington last year was sci 800, while The
amount for this year is $S:}, 40, notwith-
standing the fact that large surplus of
District revenues is turned into the United
States treasury every year. These figures
represent about the amount which is gen
orally allotted to this section for street inn
provements."
What would you suggest as a remedy
for this condition."
Mr.. Tucker replied that he would outline
his plan at the meeting to be held Monday
evening, and, continuing, said:
Need Another Shepherd.
Where you see graded streets and beau
tiful shade trees there are to be seen solid
blocks of dwellings, and where streets are
unimproved, and where there are no shade
trees, there are no improvements in the
form of houses. Gov. Shepherd found a
way to make extensive improvements and
there is no doubt that he did more toward
the development of the city than any other
man. l have no doubt that had his far
sightedness been turned toward the north
east that section would now be solidly
built up. We need another Shepherd to
provide this means. We will consider this
matter at our meeting on Monday. even

ON THE TRAINS.
Railroad Men Have Trouble With
Disordcrly People.

Railroad Men Have Trouble With
Disordcrly People.
Chief Grannon of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad Company has been doing some
good work recently In the direction of pro-
tecting passengers from the disorderiy con-
duct of roughs, as well as from alleged pick
pockets, and this week several colorei men
from Baltimore ard this city succeeded in
getting into the county prison. THURSDAY
there was an Emancipation celebration at
Frederick, and feeling reasonably certain
there would B., trouble, Chief Giannon sent
out several of his men to watch the trains
going to that place Several additional men
were put on :uty. and the result is that
seven colore1 men are in custody. On the
excursion train that went from this city
there WIS some disorder, and Fred. Stang,
the brakeman. h ID an exciting experience
with Frank Rhodes, on the top of the NOV
ing train. Several young men Lhd climbed
to the sop Of the cars. intending to get
down after the conductor had passed
through, AMI hereby feat he raiir',at COM
pany, but the traitmen were Ill their guard,
and the brakeman, VINO went tc the top OF
which may have resulted n leath from fall
ing from the moving TAIN. Rhodes Grew a
razor on the brakeman, bu. did not use 1t.
Between Kensingtc1 and Rockville this
made. Besides Rhodes there were Richard
May George Powell and Andrew Smith,
and when Rockville was reached detectives
Norris and peterborough had them in
custody and took them before Squire Nor
gan. Detective John Lloyd was present at
the trial, with counsel for the road, and
upon conclusion of the hearing Justice Nor
gan gave them two months each in the
house Of correction, an institution entirely
different from the Washington workhouse,
and Rhodes will have to answer the addi-
tional charge of carrying a razor.
On the road between Baltimore and
Frederick. the chief amusement seems to
have been picking pockets While the train
was at a standstill at Shutdown one Of the
railroad men saw a pocketbook fall to the
ground from the closet, and knowing the
reason for 1t, he rushed into the car and
then there was trouble. The vigilance of
the officers resulted in the arrest Of Frank
Pratt, George Smith and William Gibson.
The last named was given a preliminary
hearing in Frederick, and was held for the
grand jury. Pratt and Smith will be given
a hearing at Westminster, as their alleged
offense is charged to have been committed
in Carroll county.
When the four Washingtonians were tried
in Rockville they were represented by
counsel and made vigorous defense. They
were all well dressed, but when Squire Nor
gan said 1.-TWO months" one of them cried
like a child, and now they are probably at
work on the farm.
