POSSIBLE MURDER
Patrick McGoldrick Assaulted Last Night
by Unknown Men.
Mysterious Anair-The Victims Skull
Fractured-May not Live
An Old Man.

An assault and robbery that may prove
to be a murder was committed early last
evening on O street northwest between
Goth and 2lst streets, and the victim, Pat
rick McGoldrick, is under treatment at the
Emergency Hospital. Being committed, as
it was, between q and Z o'clock In the even
ing, the affair caused considerable excite
ment and uneasiness in the neighborhood.
McGoldrick, who is about sixty-five years
old. is employed as coachman for Mr.. Geo.
Frazier, No. 20O1 r street northwest and
has been in his employ fifteen years. Prior
to this employment he worked for Mr..
FraZier's father-in-law for about the same
length of time.
Yesterday McGoldrick was at his work
as usual, and in the evening about &
o'clock he returned to the stable. After
seeing that the horses were properly cared
for and put away for the night, he left
the stable and started toward ms nome.
He had been from the stable only few
minutes when he was assaulted and rob-
bed.
Three colored men, two black and
assault and then robbed him. He was rob-
bed of his pocketbook, which contained
$3.50, a bunch of keys and knife.
With just what instrument he was as
Saulted is not known. The injured man
thinks he was struck on the head with a
blackjack, but persons interested in the
case think he was probably struck with
brick, piece of brick was found in the
snow not far from the pool Of blood where
the wounded man lay after he was so
badly treated.
After receiving this treatment at the
hands of the unknown men, McGoldrick
remained in the snow some minutes before
he was able to get up and Stagger to a
house near the scene Of the daring crime,
and then he was assisted to the house of
his employer.
Mr.. Frazier called a carriage and had the
wounded man taken to the Emergency
Hospital. There it was seen that his skull
was fractured in one place, and there was
another wound on the head. This wound
is on the side opposite the fracture. max
ing 1t evident that the man was assaulted
and not that he slipped down, as Sergt.
Keefe Of the third precinct thinks. The
sergeant investigated the case and re-
ported that he thought the man had prob
ably slipped on the tee and injured his
head when he fell.
AT the hospital the physicians did all in
their power to save the mans life, and
his condition this morning is favorable,
although he may not recover.
Mr.. Frazier called at police headquarters
this morning and reported the Affair to In
spector Hollinberger. He told the in
spector of the facts as he had gathered
them. and vouched for the good character
Of the victim
Inspector Hollinberger detailed Detective
weldon on the case and he will work
with the precinct officers and endeavor to
bring the guilty parties to justice.

NOT THE OWNER.
An Interesting Legal Question Affect
ing a Liquor License.

ing a Liquor License
Mr. g. T. Thomas, attorney for the Dis
trict, today rendered an important opinion
to the Commissioners upon the question as
to who is the proper party to sign the ap-
plication Of William II. Rose, jr., for bar
room license at Harrison street. Ana
costa, D. c., the beneficiaries named in the
will of Mary Rose Martin. or the trustee
appointed by the Supreme Court Of the Dis
trict on October 4, 1881.
The point on which the excise board de-
sired to be advised was whether Mr.. Girls
void, who on the death of Mr.. Arthur
Christine was substituted as trustee, under
the will Of Mary Rose Martin, deceased, is
the owner of the real property left by Mrs.
Martin, in the meaning of the excise law,
or whether the beneficiaries under the trust
of her will are such owners. Mr. Thomas
says:
1.-The object and purpose of Congress
in requiring applicants for bar room IL
censes to get the written consent of
property owners and residents within a
specified limit of the location of the saloon
was manifestly to afford those persons
whose interests might suffer by the pres
ence Of the saloon protection if they de-
sired it," He continues: whether Mr..
Griswold, as trustee under the will of Mrs.
Martin, is to be consulted as to the loca-
ton Of the proposed saloon depends upon
the question whether he has any property
two lots devised by Mrs. Martin, if they
should be injured by the location of the
saloon, he would not suffer by any depre-
citation in the value Of the property, if any
should occur, since the persons for whom
he is trustee have consented to the loca-
ton. If, on the other hand, the location Of
the saloon should greatly appreciate the
property he would not get the advantage of
that; it would go to the beneficiaries Of
Mrs Martins will
aside from these considerations, the de-
wise was to Arthur Christie to manage the
property. He was the personal friend of
the testatrix. He was the person in whom
she reposed confidence. He was the per-
son to whom she was willing to entrust the
management of her estate 1t does not fol-
low that Mrs. Martin had that confidence
in Mr. Griswold. who is a mere subs tituted
trustee, selected by the court"
On the whole he is of opinion that Mr.
Griswold is not the owner Of the property
devised by Mrs. Martin, within the intent
and meaning of the excise law, but that
the beneficiaries named in her will are such
owners.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
An attempt was made by the defense in
the Howgate trial to screen Howgate by
duplicating his chief Words in a letter of
a man indicted for forgery and elnbezzle-
ment We're used TO cast libelous imputa-
tions upon the integrity of his chief, man
OF unquestioned honor. Under such cir
cumstances how is it possible that they
should be regarded otherwise than as an
attempt to make it appear that he was
countenanced by his chief? That letter
from such a source should be allowed to
reflect upon the character of a man such
as his late chief is Infamous.

"Tbese feasts, so far as | have
been able to Judge, are entirely de.

disposition Of certain particular pigs
to get fat. Thus there can be no
feast without them, but when they
are ripe for it, as it were, it is wholly
immaterial what day is selected to
celebrate. once excused two bows

occurred one year previous. When
they returned to school it was un-
necessary for them to say, as how
ever they did, what was so evident
in every chubby wrinkle Of satisfac
ton, viz, that they had had "a good
time" do not know that il had
occurred to them to be sufficiently
grateful that their father had so
conveniently died the year before;
probably their analysis did not go
so far"

THE KUcHENG INVESTIGATION,
Foreign Representatives WIN Doubtless
bs Permitted to Participate.


WASHINGTON, Aug 2l.--The state de-
pattment has been informed that there
was some disposition on the part of tho
Chinese officials not to allow the Ameri-
can and British officials to be present at
the investigation of the Kucheng riots.
1t is stated at the department that the
usual hitch has occurred, in which the
Chinese officials have refused to allow any
interference with their form of procedure.
In every case where there has been an in
vestigation Of the kind proposed the same
objections have been made, the Chinese
feeling that they will lose prestige with
their people If they allow foreigners TO
participate in their courts. These obiec-
tions have always ended in the submis-
sion of the Chinese after some delay.
1t can be stated authoritatively that the
Instructions to Minister DENLY cover all
questions now in controversy, and that
the investigation will be conducted in
such manner as to allow the American
representative to secure complete and full
information as to the cause of the riots
and the persons participating in them,
whether high or low. The assurance is
also given that this will be done in such a
manner as to leave nothing for complaint
/ by the American people on the score of
failure to obtain the facts relating to the
disturbances.
! 1t is not at all probable that Minister
DENLY has been directed to make any
such demand as that to be made by the
British minister at Peking, as it is known
here that such demand would not be
necessary. 1t is understood that the
Chinese minister has informed his govern
ment that the best interests of China will
be served by according to the American
and British officers the most thorough fa-
cilitios for obtaining all information de
sired
1t is not believed at the state depart
ment that the refusal of the Chinese au
thorities will do more than to delay the
investigation for q time.

THE DENVER DISASTER.
Thirteen Bodies Recovered-The Romance
of Peter Gumry's Life.

Thirteen Bodies Recovered-The Romance
of Peter Gumrys Life.
DENVER, Aug. 21.-Thirteen bodies have
so far been taken out of the ruins of the
Gumry hotel, and it is evident that the
death roll, when complete, will contain
twenty -four or twenty-five names, posi-
bly, more The dead already taken out
and identified were:
Frederick Houbold, manager Of Opera
House, Lisbon, Ia; Robert G. Greiner,
manager of Gumry hotel; Mrs. Robert G..
Greiner; James Murphy, contractor, Den
YER; George Burt, Rock Island railroad
conductor; K. f. McCloskey, mine owner,
Cripple Creek Mrs G r. Wolfe and
child, Lincoln, Neb.; William Richards
elevator pilot; B. 1. Lorah, Central City,
Colo; Ferdinand French, treasurer ii
Gilpin county, Colo; Myron f. Hawlev,
Union Pacific railroad clerk. b. w. Ed
wards, Denver butcher.
The statement that Mrs. r. G. Greiner,
one of the victims of the disaster, was Il
daughter of Peter Gumry, proves incor-
rect Mr. Gumry was never married, and
leaves no known relatives. All he knew
about himself was that he was of French
| birth, and that his parents were drowned
at sea. OF all the crew and passengers of
/ the British brig Peter Gumry. when she
foundered off the banks of Newfoundland
over fifty years ago, he alone was saved.
/ His rescucrs gave him the name of the
wrecked vessel. He leaves property value
at $1O0, COO
Fire Chief Roberts says he saw Elmer
Losher, also known as Pierce, the young
engineer whose carclessncss caused the
explosion, walking rapidly away from the
scene of the disaster about ten minutes
after the fire department arrived Detec
tivcs are searching for him.

THE primary election in Philadelphia last
evening resulted about as was expected by
conservative calculators. Senator Quay re-
ceived eighteen votes, with a probability of
four more The loudest Combine shouters
conceded him but or 10. The Junior
Senator's fight is now won, and no amount
of force fraud or bribery can change the re-
suit One of the surprises Of the contest was
the defeat of Mayor Warwick in his own
division and ward, which was not counted
upon by the Senator's friends. The result
will place Lehigh, the only county yet to
elect delegates in the Quay column. This
much is now assured Senator Quay will be
chairman of the state committee and Gov
ernor Hastings president of the state conven-
tion and the HERALD feels quite ;happy,
thank you.
