NO TRACE YET OF EBERT.
All Efforts TO Find The. Missing Alex
Hndfian Futile 30 Far


j. W. Ebert, the missing Alexandriau
! mas not been located by the authorities
here. though every man on the police force
has been duly rotified To lcGk out for him
and has been furnished with a description.
Ebert is The man whO, as stated in The
Times OF Yesterday, left his homc at Alex
andria 10 visit an uncle al No. 1903 West
Lanvaie street, Baltimore. but who has
no, since been heard from by ms relatives
al Alexandria or by his Uncle nj Ea.timore.
His son, wiiO was among those wEo have
called AT headquarters here, had 10 theory
as 10 why his father should absent him
SELF from his home and Iannly. Iht re have
been suggestions OF foul play. Tut This is
mere conjecture. The city hospitals were
called On last night but without result.
He leTt his home ON Nonoay ana came to
Washington on an Alexandra local. but all
trace OF him ENDS here. The crew OF the
train recall having seen him get off at the
ennsylvania station, but tie scarchers
do not know whether he re manned here, con-
tinued on TO Baltimore, or Travelled else
where.
He never reached his destination and
the Baltimore police are unable tu throw
light on the case, though they lave tried to
find Ebert in that city. He is well ao-
quainted in Washington but his friends here
know nothing concerning his whereabouts.
Yesterday word was received at Alex
andria that n strange man answering the
general description oi Ebert had been taken
suddenly i'll in " asiIiLgtOn and had died.
Mr.. Otto Yeski, the son-in la W Of the miss
ing man. went to Washington and saw the
body in the mOrgue, which was that of
George Reagan. Mr.. Yeski has now gone
10 Baltimore and will continue his search
among the hospitals there, hoping TO lind
him In one of them.
Eberts family think that he was taken
Ill while in Baltimore and carried 10 one
of the hospitals there for treatment. They
refuse 10 give up hope that he is still alive,
and will not do so until Mr.. Yeskicompletes
his search in Baltimore.
The missing man is about five feet five
inches In height, slenderly built, and has
black hair and eyes. He talks with very
decided German accent, and is very quiet
and retiring in his disposition.
The disappearance of Mr.. Ebert has
aroused much interest in Alexandria and
his family has the sympathy OF every one.
Mrs. Ebert was in Washington yesterday
evening, hunting for ner husband.

HIDDEN In The HEAVY FOG
Great White Clouds Envelopsd the
City Early This Morning.
Cars and Vehicles Had TO Proceed
Very CautiOusly-Clerks Made
Iate-River Boats Impeded.

A regular London fog enyelopcd the
downtown part uf the city this morning,
and for an hour so dense was the great white
film that II was impossible for anyone
10 see but a few yards ahead. Even at that
dist ance moving objects lad ghostly,
uncertain appearance, and the buildings
along PcDnsylv:nia avenue looked like
wicrd pictures of goblin castles, trans
planted from fairy land TO Washington.
Tie fog displaced the atmosphere, bore
down limbs OF trees with lis weight, and
settled in every nook and creyice from
the ground up. Gable car gripmen kept
up a continuous changing Of their gonss,
and drivers OF carts and wagons sent their
shouts OF warning ahead OF them. The
bicycle bell, usually so noisy, was com
pletely lost in the medley OF suunCs.
Many department clerks were late at
their desks this morning, and ,Ecy justly
blame the fog. One lady clerk stood on an
avenue corner trying 10 persuade a car to
stop. She waved her hands, umbrella and
everything else she had. and shouted at
the top OF her voice, but with changing bells
the cars went on. The gripmen and con-
ductors couldn't see two feet from the cars,
and unless some one waved lighted Ian
tern they never stopped.
II was getting close to nine Oclock when
one luckieSs clerk rushed frantically out
TO get q car. He knew The usclessnesS OF
trying to stop it, sO lie made Il grab through
tHe log Caught tEc Vi tue rear
dash. When lie swung around 10 put his
foot on. something ii wasn't there, and the
fog wasn't quite heavy enough To hold him
up.
The conductor heard him fall, and for
once the car was stopped. The clerk was
picked up, scTaped OIL and after shaking
himself together deciued that he was not
hurt, and got aboard.
Down on the river the fog was even denser
than 1T was uptown. Alter essaying to
make Il couple of trips, the frrryboats were
compelled, to hold up until the mist cleared.
and all river traffic was suspended. The
big Norfolk boats got in before the fog
became SO dense, otherwise they would
probably be down the river yet.
For several miles around the city. in low
parts of the country, the fog prevailed,
and number of trains were late because
of it. Owing to the danger of running
through the country in such dense fog,
they were compelled To slow up and feel
their way along.
About $3.50 O'Clock, however, the sun,
which had been making feeble efforts to
shine ailmorning managed tu break through
the rift Of clouds that pent up its rays, and
its effects were instantaneous.
In very few minutes the fog was dis
persed, and the city resumed its natural
appearance. albeit a triflc damp and mirky.
Fortunately there were NO accidents of n
serious nature.

UNDER REEDS BANNER
Republican Domination Has Been
Restored in the House.
HIS VERY LARGE FOLLOWING
The Democrats Can Muster But One

Populists and SILVER Men-Tables
Showing the Geographical Dlstri-
button of the Parties.

An examination of the geogra plical dis
, tribution of parties shows some interesting
features, a study of whichDlay he of service
to party leaders in the immediate future.
When the Fifty-second Congress as
senbled in December, 1891, the House of
Representatives was made up Of 235 Demo-
Gratis, Sc Rei,ublicans, and s Populists.
In the preceding Congress, the fifty-first
the Republicans controlled the House by Il
small majorUy.
The overthrow of the Republicans, fol-
lowing the pa ssage of the tariff act of 1890,
was t'surprismg In view of the CONNER
cial and Industrial depression that then pre-
vailed. but the extent and completeness of
| the Republican defeat was rcga rded a. phe-
nomenal and startled the leading politicians
of both, the great parties.
In the Congressional elections of 1892
the Republicans recovered many of the sea is
lost i'll 1880, their numerical strength in
the House rising 10 100.
The elections OF last year restored Rcpub-
lican domination in the House. and when the
Firtyzfpurtn Congress assemblies on Mon-
day, December =, the conditions of parties,
as they existed when, the tifty-second Con-
.ress assembled four years ago, will be re-

of the House he mad 4 democratic follow

powerless at the head OF a column that had
dwlndled 10 So followers.

Ocean,, and fourth, those States south or
