What Shall BE Done With the Divi-
sion.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
l have wish to be drawn into con-
troversy over the social evir' question;
but The Stars "blue-pencir' editor, in
emasculating my article of "Wednesday
last, concerning the DIVISION forces me
to demand further and fair hearing.
My article, as sent to The Star, simply
protested against using a moral sentiment
to break up the Division at the expense of
respectable localities, when as a matter of
fact tue real reason for the onslaught is to
improve the value of property in the vicin-
ity CT the Division.
Mr. John Johnson's article. which aimed
to comment upon, said nothing at all about
helping comforting, rescuing, loving or
saving the women whose fame damns the
Division; but, as l remember it, 1t assailed
the evil" because it existed in such a
prominent location.
During my residence in this city 1 have
had brought to my notice several in
stances where these poor unfortunate
women" have worked their way into re-
srectable localities, yes, and into respecta-
bic houses, but not for the purpose of re-
forming.
1 recall one instance where one of these
poor abused creatures so slyly played her
game that her landlords daughters, good,
pure girls, just budding into womanhood,
We're pressed into service as her compan-
ions in jaunts about the city.
Imagine the horror of their parents when
rome other than one of the most notorious
dive keepers this city has ever seen! I'm
agine, if you can, the feelings of those
girls, when the news was made known to
them, probably by some who had
enough decency left in him to protect his
neighbours honle as well as his own.
I am no defender of the institution which
makes the Division what 1t Is. Neither am
1 prepared to go into the business of help
ing, comforting or loving the poor crea-
lures who have been forced to life of
shame through the perfidy and infamy of
men who protected their own homes, while
they assailed their neighbors'. 1 prefer to
leave that species of moral sublimity- to
those who fancy it; do not; but l do as
sert the right to protest against process
of reformation conducted by real estate
syndicate which will work injury to re-
spectacle people. even though in doing SO
1 excite sentimental Mysteries in the bo-
sc ms of those who think that the women
who infest the Division are there more
from necessity than from choice.

The cruiser Marblehead arrived at Cron-
stadt, Russia, today. The monitors Cats
kill and Lehig'h, which have been anchored
in the James river near Richmond for
many years, have arrived at Norfolk, where
they are to be prepared for transfer to
the League Island navy yard. The gun
boat Petrol sailed from Shanghai yesterday
for Nagasaki. The New York and the Co
lumbia left Kiel yesterday on the way to

nounced last evening that until he receiv-
ed written opinion from the attorney
general of the state he would not execute
Buchanan.
The warden sent messenger to Albany
with copies of the paper served OH him by
DIR. Buchanan's counsel which the counsel
claimed operated as a stay. The warden
requested that written instructions b..
gwen him from the attorney general :,
office. Attorney General Hancock was alb
sent from Albany. and Deputy Attorney
Hasbrouck declined to write any opinion
On learning of this action Wadren Sage
telegraphed to Attorney General Hancock
at syracuse informing him that he would
not execute DIR. Buchanan until ne had re-
celVed an opinion of the effect of the legal
papers served upon him by counsel for DR..
Buchanan.
Last night Warden Sage received a reply
from Attorney General Hancock saying:
L dc not think the last proceedings operate
as stay and have no further advice to
give"
No Appeal Filed Here.
Up to the hour of DR.. Buchanans electro
oution today no appeal had been filed in the
United States Supreme Court. The officials
of the court had expected it in view Of the
presence in the city of Arthur W. Butts.
attorney for the condemned man. But Mr..
BUTTS did not present himself at the court
aiiiS the morning, nor dld he consult any
of the justices individually, SO far as could
be learned
The court officials are of the opinion tina t
the electrocution settles all legal compiled
tons. and that there can be no further ac-
ton In the form of collecting damages from
the state of New York, as has been sug-
gested.
MI Butts was not at the hotel when the
bulletin OF Buchanan's death came, and it
was believed he had left the city.
Mr.. Butts called upon Justice Harlan of
the supreme Court yesterday and left the
city last night, saying that there was not
one chance in million to save the life of
his client.

He Charges Cruelty.

Arthur E. Wells has filed his answer to
the petition Of his wife for divorce. deny
ing all of her allegations of cruelty, and
has also filed a cross-bill asking for an alb
solute divorce and the custody of his chill
dren. Mr.. Wells charges his wife with re-
peated and deadly assaults upon him, and
says that he was afraid to eat or sleep in
his house owing to her threats to kill him.
He charges that on January 3, 1891, she
threw a fork at his face, which struck his
arm in his effort to protect his face, and
that on March 10 she threw at his head
the top Of a wooden chair. which barely
missed Draining him. On another occasion,
he says. she threw a shaving cup. which
cut a cash two inches In length in his side.

kill him, and drove him from home.

A Rainproof Awning Wanted.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
If an observer may venture an observa-
ton, 1 would ask why the authorities in
charge of Marshall Hall do not provide a
waterproof awning for the dancing pavilion
On their pleasure grounds.
Recently an excursion party was caught
by q severe thunder shower during the
afternoon, and the only amusement for
those on the pavilion was to dance, and
yet the rain was blown completely through
from the river side, drenching the dancing
floor and even those who sought shelter on
the opposite side Of the pavilion. Sure
enough, force of sweeps was put to work
to clean off the floor and sprinkle corn
meal but the damage was then done, and
dancing with any comfort was over for
the evening.
Now, it certainly would be more rational
to protect both the pavilion and the dane
ing floor against such accidents by suit
able awning, at least on the river side,
than to hire sweeps to make vain attempts
at drying sloppy floor. What do those in
authority think of It?
