A Fall Of About Ten Degrees in the
Sensible Heat.
A PICTURE OF TIE hot WAVE
Washington on the Edge Of the
Very Warmest Section.
MORE RELIEF TOMORROW

All things will probably be forgiven the
weather bureau now that the thermometers
have dropped fully ten degrees from the
records of yesterday. This Is really better
than IL the temperatures had fallen twenty
or thirty degrees, as they did in some parts
of the west Sudden changes Of that sort
are dangerous and often disastrous. The
gentle slide down from the crest of the hot
wave so CONSIDERABLY doled out to Wash
ington is therefore more to be welcomed
than a sudden fall along an almost perpen-
dicuiar plane.
It looks as though the hot wave has come
to practical end in this part of the coun-
try. even though it is not cold enough here
today to warrant the use of overcoats and
mufflers. Blu; 1t has been, in the common
vernacular, a "corker" while 1t lasted 1t

TAKEN TO THE COURTS.
T. F. Quinn Sues the Washington Lon
and Trust Company.

T. F. Quinn Sues the Washing ton Loan
and Trust Company.
Thomas F. Quinn, August 16, 1885, ac-
cording to a suit at law filed today by At
torneys Tracy L. Jeffords and Theo. w.
Birney against the Washington Loan and
Trust Company on behalf Of Sherman s.
Kelsey, executed four promissory notes,
each for the sum Of s337.5O, and payable
five years after date. Each note was made
payable to the order of John B. Larner
at Barnegat Park, N. ]. They were in
dorsed by Mr.. Larner and subsequently by
Edward S. Farrow. August 8. 1894, the
plaintiff states he was the owner of the
four notes. and shortly before they became
due, he alleges, he delivered them to the
defendant company for presentment and
collection. But, he asserts, the company
omitted to present them or any of them,
and failed to give notice of their non-pay-
ment to the indorsers, or any of them
nor did the company cause or procure the
notes or any Of them to be protested.
Because of the company's alleged ne
glect, Mr.. Kelsey claims that he lost the
right to maintain action against the
maker and indorser5 of the notes for the
amount payable upon them, as well as
the right and security afforded by the In
dorsements of Mr.. Larner and Mr.. Far
row. Therefore, he claims damages against
the company in the sum of 5000.

Cuban Insurgents Within Seventy
five Miles of Havana
EIGHTY-FIVE PERSONS UNDER ARREST
Wreck Of the Spanish Cruiser
Followed.
RECENT FIGHTING IN CUBA

CHICAGO. September PA special to
the Tribune from Havana, September 10.
says: Armed parties of revolutionists are
already in the province of Matanzas and
actually within seventy-f1ve miles of the
city-of Havana. OF greater Importance is
the reported advance into the province of
Matanzas. If, as 1t Is said they have guam
titles of arms and munitions there con-
cealed. and If they are really advancing in
force, the crisis is not far off.
Yesterday morning at 2 o'clock. while the
steamer Santa Barbara with the battalion
of Tetuan-1,OOO men-was waiting outside
the harbor, the governmental chief of police
suddenly called in his inspect tors and chief
officers, and at 2:30 o'clock these. with re-
Inducements from the municipal police,
went off rapidly in many directions.
Eighty-fve persons were arrested by them
within a few hours and are now confined in
cells in the Mora castle.
Rumors were soon flying around that a
great conspiracy has been discovered and
that the initial step was to have been an
attack with dynamite on the Santa Barbara
or on the battalion.
1t is said documents duplicating impor-
tant personages have been found. 1t is
also said that a large quantity of concealed
arms and munitions have been seized. The
sequel to the arrests came at midnight
when there was frightful accident in the
harbor. This accident was nothing more
or less than the sinking of the Spanish
cruiser Barcaeztegui in which forty-one
lives were lost.
This terrible affair, coming close on the
heels of the arrests, has caused profound
alarm. While official reports leave little
doubt the collision was accidental, never
thele IS it Is a strange coincidence at least
The question is asked how the Mortera
should have been attempting to enter the
port after 1t was closed, and there are
those, who say it was better to send a
Spanish cruiser and admiral to the
bottom than even troop ship.

STRUCK by A TROLLEY CAR,
Two Men Seriously and One of Them
Perhaps Fatally Injured.

A serious and perhaps fatal accident oc-
CURED on the Chevy Chase electric railway
this afternoon. Two men, their names be-
ing Lewis D. Means and Owens, were driv-
ing along the road between PIerce's Mill
and Grant road. when they were struck by
an electric car and hurled distance Of
twenty feet. Means was terribly manged
about the head and was in frightful con-
dition when taken to the Garfield Hospital
The physicians there say that the mans
skull was fractured and that he sustained
other internal injuries, from which his
death Is likely to follow at any moment
Owens was badly shaken up and received
a number of cuts; but 1t Is not believed that
his injuries are fatal. Both men belong at
University Heights, and were coming to
town. AT the crossing of the roads, it is
said by eye witnesses to the accident the
motorman took every precaution to avoid
the collision, but the drivers were careless
and were responsible for the disaster.

Has :n owner the right to erect upon his

teen feet. in the rear Of his property, 4O3

in letter to Mr.. Winkoop to remove the
wall This he refused to do, and since that
time, with mis- lawyer, has had several

stated that Mr.. Winkoop. rather than re-
move his W ALL would build conservatory

A HORRIBLE MURDER
Capt Relvelle Drained by Colored Deck
Hand.
Shocking Tragedy on the Lower PO-
tOmac-The Victim Well known
Here.

Capt. Geoghegan Of the steamer Sue
trip late last evening. reported to the police
a sensational case Of murder which was
discovered by the crew of the steamer yes
terday afternoon. According to the report,
the Sue was approaching Matthias Point
when a schooner loaded with lumber and
apparently in distress was sighted. A small
boat was sent to the sailing vessel, the
oarsmen discovering the body of a man
advanced in years. An examination dis
closed that the skull was crushed.
Beside the body were two colored boys
weeping violently. In answer to questions
the lads stated that about 0 o'clock in the
morning. while the deceased. who was cap
tain of the vessel, was at work on deck, a
colored deck hand approached from the
rear and dealt him crushing blow with
handspikc. The captain died almost i'm
medately. and his assailant, after loading
a yawl with everything of value he could
carry off, escaped to the Maryland shore.
The Victims Identity Established.
The Sue made an attempt to tow the
schooner to this city, but as 1t began to
sink Capt. Geoghegan ran the craft into
shallow water at Riverside, near Matthias
Point and 1otifed some parties living
there, who took the body off and with It
the two boys. The schooner was the John
A. H. Dixon of Annapolis.

man was Benjamin F. Relveie of zoos
Fairmont avenue, Baltimore, Md, and that
he leaves wife and family. friend of
the family, accompanied by Undertaken

city today as soon as the news of the affair
reached the wife.

this city. where he had many friends, and
it is also thought that he has relatives re-
siding here. This afternoon it was stated
that the two hands on the boat are full
grown men. and not boys. as was first re-
ported. 1t was also stated that they lad
been placed under arrest by the Charles
county authorities to await the result of the
coroner's investigation.
