MIR. BURROWS BODY FOUND
FIFTY FEET FROM WHERE HE
 VENT DOWN.

Captain Burton's Honorable Military Ca-
 reer-One of the First to Volunteer-He
 was Drowned in Trying to Save the
 Others.
 The body of John Fl. Burton of Ham, den, who was drowned presumably in trying to save the lives of William KiIloy and George II. Gates at Lake Saltonstall, was found yesterday morn ing about o'clock by George E. Ives at a point about fifty feet from the spot where the men disappeared through the ice and about twenty feet from where the other bodies were found It is presumed that Burton saw the men go down and rushing to their re- lief he also went through the rotten ice Burton was sixty-two years of age. The body was taken to the un- dertaking rooms of H. w, Crawford & Co. on Grand avenue.
 It was at first though that MT. Bur ton was fishing on that fateful day, but there is a spring near his farm in East Haven, about one-quarter of a mile from the lake, and it was MT. Burtons custom to go there every day for water. He was going for water on the day Killoy and Gates were fishing and hearing the cries for help he ran towards the lake and seeing the men in the water, attempted to save them, and on account of the weak con- dition of the ice, he broke through in his efforts to save the others and was drowned along with them. He was a member of Admiral Foote post, G. A. R. He enlisted in April, 1861, being one of the first volunteers in Company F, Fourth regiment, Connecticut in- fantry, and was afterwards in the First heavy artillery. He enlisted as cor poral and came home a captain, having obtained this commission through bray cry and merit.

New Hampshire'ss Plague of WoodchucSs
 From the Boston Heraldl

While the Vermont farmers are scold- ing their legislature in regard to pro- tected deer and presenting bills for the destruction of crops to the tune of about $4OO, ,OOO, New Hampshire has been agi- tated by the woodchuck question. It is estimated that the state had 4S2,9 960 woodchucks, and that each one can destroy 300 pounds of clover per season. Deducting 10000 from the above figures, the 470, remaining must destroy each season 117500 tons of hay, which at $6 a ton gives $705, 900 lost to New Hamp- shire farmers by woodchucks. The farmers and their boys have consented to run down the woodchucks for the as- tonishing bounty of ten cents each, and last years kill amounted to about 10,- 0O0. Notwithstanding all this, the act ual number of woodchucks in New Hampshire is reported as great as ever.

A TrOtting Unicycle.

A Hartford man has invented a one
wheel sulky for trotting horses. 1t is GER
tainly original enough to receive attention
The seat of the sulky will be directly over
the back &C the housekeeping the same
relative position over the horse that the
ordinary riding saddle does. This would
necessarily bring the sulky wheels on the
sides of the horse; in case the animal was
a sixteen-hander, the occupant of the sulky
seat would be about as prominent as
pilot on steamer The harness would be
also of a different pattern than is now in
use. The swaying motion of the horse is
to be regulated by a steel brace from the
shaft tips. The traces will be set on an
angle from the wheels to the seat that
will aid the propulsion of the sulky. The
horse actually trots within the sulky in
this new idea, while the driver sits astride
and is braced just as in the ordinary rae
ing vehicle. only directly over the horse
instead Of behind him.

GUARDED BY ARMED MEN.
Preliminaries to the Trial at StafYOr
Court House.

Preliminaries to the Trial at Stafford
Court House.
Morgan, alias Morganfield, the Aqua
Creek train robber, was brought into court
at Stafford Court House, Va, yesterday,
on his cot by Perry c. Crutchfield, the ex-
messenger he robbed. The counsel filed
two pleas in abatement, one because the
grand jury that indicted him was not prop
erly constituted one of its members being
a postmaster, and under the Virginia law
not competent to serve as juror. The
other because the Indictment did not
charge the same offense for which Morgan
vas extradited. and that a man could not
be tried for an ofrense other than that for
" I1ich he was extradited. The common
wealth moved to reject both pleas, and af-
ter argument the court rejected them.
Defense excepted and then moved to
quash the indictment, alleging that it was
obtained by reason of duplicity and mis-
jonder of the courts. This motion was
argued by Col. Shay for three-quarters of
an hour, at which time he suspended, and
the court took q recess for dinner. Morgan
was not moved from the court room during
the recess, but his dinner was brought in
to him.
Messrs. Shay, Thomas and McBeth, the
latter of whom Is counsel for Searcey, all
qualified to practice in the court, and were
duly admitted to the Virginia bar.
After recess the counsel for the defense
resumed argument on the motion to quash
the indictment w. s. Thomas, who is as
sisting the prosecution, replied. and then
the commonwealth attorney, Mr.. White
stated to the court that he never hesitated
to own up to mistake, and he thought
that the last count in the indictment charg-
ing conspiracy to rob should be quashed.
The court then quashed the last count
and overruled the motion to quash the
ether counts to which the counsel for de-
Tense excepted. The defense then entered
a general and special demurrer to the in
dictment thereof. Without any argument
this motion was submitted to the judge
who reserved his decision. and adjourned
court until this morning at 0 o'clock. Last
night heavily armed guard occupied the
cell with each of the men, and guards
patroled the outside of the Jail, while Ian
terms hung all around it and lighted up the
whole premises.

THE BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL.
AYERS PILLS cure Headache.

The RuiIdfur 1t Occupies Reported In
an Extremely Bad Condition.
The Commissioners have transmitted to
the chairman of the subc ommttee on Dis
trict appropriations of the House reports
relative to the sanitary conditions and de-
fects of the Business High School building.
Principal Davis, in his report, states that
the defect in the sanitary condition arises
in part from the improper and 1nsufnclent
heating of the building, but chiefly from
the overcrowding consequent upon the oc-
cupation Of the building by too great q
number of pupils The stairs are of wood
and are not suitable for the passage Of
sections of pupils from room to room, says
Mr. Davis, and he adds that the building
contains three stories, and as 1t Is neces-
sary for teachers and pupils to pass from
room to room for purposes of recitation,
several of the lady teachers have COM
planned that walking up and down stairs
has had an injurious physical effect upon
them, and have been absent from sickness
resulting from this cause.
The basement space, 1t is stated in the
report, Is entirely inadequate, and the
ventilation in the. basement is bad, as the
heating is by stoves and the dust from the
school furnaces Is injurious to the lungs of
the pupils. This is especially true in cold
weather, when a large amount of coal
must be snoveled. The building was not in
tended to contain pupils in the basement,
but at the present time about eighty pupils
are seated there.
Principal Davis goes on to say that the
separation of the sexes for toilet purposes
Is not as complete as 1t should be, tenn
porary partition having been erected to
divide the basement between the sexes.
While the building might contain with
a fair degree Of comfort $50 pupils, accord
ing to Mr.. Davis. 1t Is not proper build
ing from sanitary point Of view for the
$50 pupils who are seated in 1t, and it IS
both impossible and undesirable to crowd
more pupils In 1t next year. 1t Is claimed
that 500 pupils Is the smallest number who
will apply for admission to the Business
High School next fall.
Expert Testimony.
A report in regard to the building has
also been submitted by ]. G. Hird, chem
ical and sanitary Inspector of the health
department, and c. H. WEIGH, sanitary
Inspector Of the health department. The
general sanitary arrangements they say,
were found in a very poor and unhealthy
cordition. With defective plumbing and
inadequate ventilation, and the school
rooms depending entirely upon windows
for their supply of pure air, the circula-
ton of the same within the building is
maintained from one room to another, be-
ing intermingled with the foul air from
the basement and the gases from the sewer,
rendering the same, in the opinion of In
spectors WEIGH and Hird, very dangerous
to health.

Roads Ruined by the Trolley.

FROM the BaIt1mOre Amerfcan.
Mr.. A. ]. Cassatt, the millionaire, who
has done more for good roads than any
dozen men in Pennsylvania, has sent forth
warning against the spoliation Of i'm
proved roads by trolley companies He
holds that, If they follow the highway, they
must widen 1t at their own expense, pro-
viding a clear track without encroaching
upon the common driveway. Many of the
best roads have been almost ruined by the
trolley lines, but that is all the more rea-
son why the roads that are left should be
jealousy guarded.

Witness Stand.
Mrs. Adry Hayward testified in the Cling
trial yesterday at Minneapolis. Preceding

teller of the City Bank. and Louis Ireland
were sworn. Wells testified to having paid
Harry Hayward between $1,000 and $1,000

that did not come from Miss Cling.
Miss Ireland was questioned by the de-
Tense as to Harry's calling at the fat on
days preceding and on the day of the MUIR
der. Mrs. Adry Hayward was then put

Mrs. L. L. Hayward, mother of defend
ant, testified that Harry came to her room

The War Department and Capt. How
gate.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In Justice to Capt. Howgate, although
stranger. l feel must lift up my voice in
the matter relative to his being regarded
as a fugitive from Justice" 1t is useless
to say that the War Department was not
coeuizant of his whereabouts-that is false.
It did know, perfectly well, where Capt.
Howgate was. When he was resident OF
West Virginia, the department was duly
informed to that effect The department
simnly did not care to know, the reply
that was received proved. AS delicately as
words could express, the writer was ac-
cused of prevaricating. The whole story
was published not long since in the New
York World and Philadelphia Press.

SOME INFORMATION.
Likely to BE Posted Up in the Police
Court.

The Police Court is not bureau of in
formation, although there are many per-
sons who have an idea that such is the
case Business transacted there is only
such business as pertains to violations CT
the numerous laws and ordinances in force
in the District. Seldom a day passes that
marriage licenses, dog tags or some other
business of this kind is not mentioned.
Several days before an execution at tne
Jail two men appeared in the clerks office
and one of them put down dollar, saying,
Il want a ticket
"Tcket?' quered the clerk.
Eyes, a ticket" the man said; "a ticket
Ticket for what?'' the clerk asked.
"Why, for the hanging, of course"
Once an old man wanted a warrant for
himself. He had dog and the canine was
dangerous, so he thought. What he want
ed was to get rid of the dog, but he did
not want to do SO unless by order of the
court.
a colored man who wanted a permit to kill
a man.
When asked for an explanation, he said
there was another man paying attention
to his wife and he wanted to get rid CT
him.
But you can't get any such permit here"
he was told
Il can't?" asked the surprised and dis
appointed husband. II can't get permit
to kill the man for breaking up my fam
ily?"
mo, sir"
Then what kind of protection does a
man get for the dollar he pays for Ii
cense?"
The clerk assured him that he was not
an authority on such matters, and the
disappointed man went home.
In order to save the time of making so
many explanations it is likely that the fol-
lowing notice will soon grace the walls
in the corridor:
Witness fees are paid between 10 and
II o'clock on any day except Monday.
Dog tags are issued at the District
building.
Marriage licenses are issued by the
clerk of the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia.
PASSES to attend executions are issued
by the warden of the Jail.
THE business of this court is wholly
criminal, and we cannot collect bad debts,
issue writs Of replevin or attend to any
business of civil character nor give ad-
vice in reference thereto.
Tickets for free soup can be obtained
from the police department. This court has
nothing to do with it.
