Deceased visited his daughter,
Mrs. Henry Limburger, on Milan
street, last night and returned
home about IL o'clock. He
seemed to be in good spirits before
retiring. His wife was the first to
learn Of the sad occurrence. On
opening the door, which leads
to the rear yard, this morn
ing, at about seven o'clock,
she was Mortified to behold the
body OF her husband dangling to
rope, cold in death. The neighbors
soon learned of the occurrence and
Immediately ran to Mrs. Olsen to
console her. She was led into the
house, while Coroner Jones was
notified. The latter soon arrived,
viewed the body and issued a GER
tificate Of death, giving suicide by
hanging as the cause. The body
was taken into the house, where it
was prepared by Undertaken Nc
Cormick.
Deceased hanged himself with a
clothes line. When found his
toes were slightly touching
the ground. His thumb was
wedged in between the rope
around his neck, as il he was
either trying to loosen or tighten

eide in San Augustine, Florida,
several years ago by cutting him.

two months. He ate very little
the past four weeks.

SUGAR BOUNTY CLAIMS,

Secretary Carlisle Talks to Ex-Rep.
rcsentative Wilkinson on the Subfe ect.
Secretary Carlisle has returned to the
city, aad this morning had an Interview
with ex-Representative Wilkinson of Louis
iara, now collector of customs at New Or
leans. in regard to the pending sugar
bounty controversy. Mr.. Wilkinson appeal
ed to the Secretary on behalf of the plant
ers on much the same lines as had been
covered by Senators Caffery and Blanchard
at their interviews with the Secretary. Mr..
Carlisle, however, saw no way In which he
could render the bounty claimants any as
sistance except possibly by expediting the
hearing and decision of the court of claims
This he was willing to do. The controller,
he said, had jurisdiction of the matter, and
had announced in his decision that he
either must decide adversely to the claim
arts or send the case to the court of claims.
He had chosen the latter alternative, and
he (the Secretary had no power to overrule
him. He was perfectly willing to hear Sem
ator ManderSon or any of the other inter-
ested parties on the question Of the right of
the controller to send the case to the court
of claims, but further than that he could
not take any action.
1t seems to be the opinion of the treasury
officials that the case will remain as at
present, without gol to the court until
Congress meets in December.

OWNERSHIP OF THE FLATS
A Decision in a Celebrated Case to Be
Given Next Monday.
The Claims of the Kfdyvel1 and Mar
shall Heirs-The Court Makes
an Announcement.

The announcement was made in the Court
in General Term this morning that the
court would next Monday render its de-
cisier in what is known as the Potomac
flats case.
This is the case in which the United
States seeks to quiet the titles of some
forty odd claimants to lands on the river
front between Easby's Point and the arse
nal grounds and in the flats opposite the
city. By special act of Congress the case
was made a proceeding in equity to quiet
titles, and the case was assigned by the
act to the Court in General Term, in which
court 1t was heard last spring. AS told in
The Star at the time the case was argued
at great length, the hearing continuing sew
eral weeks. Since then the case has been
under consideration by the court (Chief
Justice Bingham and Justices Hagner and
McComas), and it is understood that the
opinion of the court will be written by
Judge Hagner. The principal claimants
ere the Kidwell heirs and the Marshall
heirs. The former claim many acres in the
Potomac flats under a grant made in 1860
to the late DR.. Kidwell, and the Marshall
heirs claim the entire river bed and the
accretions thereon under alleged colonial
grants. The other claiman asserted title
to lots and riparian rights along the river
front
1t is the general impression about the
city hall that the court will decide almost
wholly in favor Of the government.

DISMISSING MAIL CARRIERS.
Result of the Surveillance System 4.
the Service.

Result of the Surveillance System in
the Service.
Yesterday was day of reckoning in all
too many post offices throughout the land.
The much-talked-of spy system, which the
recent letter carriers convention at Phila-
delphia at first denounced. and after Post
master General Wilson'S speech in expIana-
tion of it approved, has gathered it's first
crop. Two hundred and thirty-five carriers
have been visited with dismissal or reduc-
tion as penalty for various petty offenses
which affected their efficiency for public
service.
The largest number of penalties was Wis
tied upon the Philadelphia carriers. Prob
ably that Office was most thoroughly shad-
owed by the department. --Twenty-one men
were dismissed outright, seventy-nine were
reduced to the substitute roll and six were
assigned Ilaces. .,...., .---
No dismissals were made in Washington.
In the slang of post offices all over the
country they say. Washington! Oh, Wash
ington is perfect" And it is doubtless true
that The carrier system here is as nearly
what it ought to be as in any place in the
land. Twenty-one carriers were reported
for delinquencies here. Most of the trouble
was because of lettering. The penalty for
the Washington carriers was uniformly ten
days suspension. This, after the hearing
in each case, was reduced to an average of
two days. The affair was a gentle warn
ing.

SAYS THEY CANNOT PAY.
Wade HamptoD's Report on the Pacific
Railroads.

Wade HamptOD's Report ON the Pacific
Railroads..
In his annual report. submitted today,
Wade Hampton, United States railroad
commissioner. says the Pacific railroads
simply cannot pay what they owe the gov
ernmert. Their earnings fell off last year
at the average rate, he says, of million a
month. The hard times have hurt them
even worse than they hurt other railroad ds
in the thickly settled portions of the west.
''The results of the past two years. says
the commissioner, have shown that dur
ing a period of financial and industrial de-
preston it would be impossible for the
Union Pacific Company to meet the annual
fixed charges, in addition to other neces-
sary and inevitable expenses of such an
amount as would be required to discharge
the debt to the United States in fifty years
at per cent, as proposed in the Reilly BILL
or even per cent. which the representa-
t1VeS Of the company were understood to
be willing to accept. Some regard should
be had for such conditions as have existed
and which are likely to arise again."
The commissioner says that a cast iron
rule as to payments cannot be observed
and thinks there should be a flexible ad-
justment of annual payments to corre-
spend with diminished earnings Such
a law-the Thurman act-is now in force
and, with several amendments he recon-
mends. he thinks that this act will be
found to justify the expectations Of its
trainers.

A MINING FRANCHISE,

The mines in question ere the richest (by
Corean reporO in the country, and are in
the gold mine district of Uhnsan, which be-
longs to tie royal family. The district is
very mountainous, and is from fifteen to
twenty English miles broad and long stu
ated in Peng Yang province. The agree
ment of Mr.. Morse associates him with his
majesty's department of the royal house
hold for tie prosecution of this mining
work.
The minister says that Mr.. Morse well
deserves the mark of confidence thus re-
ceived. He has long been associated with
Corea in a business way, much to his cred
it, and for some years he has acted as
Corean commercial agent in New York city.
He is president of the American Trading
Company of New York, with houses in
London, San Francisco, Yokohama, Kobe
and Shanghai. with branches in Chemulpo,
Corea, and other places.
