LONDON BARRIERS SLOW
Congressman Miner says 1t Took Him A.
Minutes to Get Shaved.


Minutes to Get Shaved.
LONDON, July 6.-Congressman Harry
Miner of New York, who is here on the
atrical business, says that he is almost
tempted to wish he had been elected to
parliament instead of congress, in order
that he might bring about some legisla-
ton that would teach London BARRIERS a
lesson as to the value of time.
MIR. Miner adds that he has been a
great sufferer on account of the way in
which London BARRIERS measure time.
The other day the New York congress
man got into a BARRIERS chair here and
the barber promptly gave his face coat
of lather. Then the man disappeared
into another room.
For half an hour. Mr.. Miner says, he
sat there, and in the meantime the soap
had thoroughly dried upon his face.
When the barber returned, Mr.. Miner
demanded to know what he meant The
barber said he had to ''dress a lady's
hair" 1t took 81r. Miner exactly three
quarters of an hour to secure shave.

FLAGMAN FOUND DEAD.
A Kansas City Man Badly Gashed in q Wa.
Indicating Murder.

1ndIcatIng Auruer.
KANSAS CRY, July 6.-The body OF
Terrence McKeever, the day fagman at
Second and Holmes streets, on the Air
line, was found lying in the mud under
the IL" road trestle a short distance north
of the Riverview station yesterday.
McKeever was sixty-two years old, and
his death is involved in considerable mys-
terry. There was deep cash across the
point of the nose and another on the
chin, but neither of these wounds are con-
sidered sufficient to prove fatal.
McKeever had worked for the Air line
as fagman for two years, and during that
time had never been away from home
over night. The members of his family
say he was not addicted to the excessive
use of intoxicants. The evidence strong
ly indicates murder.

CHOIR SINGER DECAMPs.
q. S. Renshaw of Atchison Departs Leav-

ATcHIsoN, July Gu. s. Renshaw. the
sweet singer, has gone wrong. His
sympathetic tenor will no longer be
heard in the Presbyterian church choir,
and church concerts will have to do with
out his assistance hereafter.
Last Wednesday he packed up his eff
behind several little accounts which he
forgot to pay. He owed $38 to d. E.
Miller for board at the Byram hotel.
Miller learned that Renshaw's effects
were on the Missouri Pacific train bound
for Kansas City. The effects were at
tached at Leavenworth and brought back
to Atchison.
Renshaw also owed a man named
Tyree a little bill, something like $500.
Renshaw has been running a bucket
shop in the Atchison national bank build

A peculiar case of hydrophobie hap
yened this week at the farm of John
Ogee, near Silver Lake Bert Green has
been keeping his English mastiff at the
farm of Mr. Ogee, and one night the dog
got away and was missing several days.
When he returned he was put in a box
stall in the barn for safe keeping. Next
morning he was dead and the stall
strewn with foam and in great disorder
It did not occur to Mr.. Ogee that he had
been mad, and he put one of his best
horses in the stall soon afterward. The
horse is supposed to have chewed some
of the wood of the stall saturated with
the froth from the lips of the mad dog,
for the horse went mad and had to be
killed last Wednesday night. Before
dying, however, he bit another horse,
and this one is now being watched with
great anxiety.

FISH ARE GETTING SCARCE.
End of the Season is Now Approach
ing.

End of the Season is Now Approach
ing.
Potomac fresh-water fish are getting
scarce and are bringing better prices than
during the past month. There are no large
white perch being caught, and the catch of
shad and herring is getting smaller each
day as the end of the season for these fish
approaches. The season closes June !, but
under the law the dealers have ten days
in which to dispose of the stock on hand.
This results in their being caught and
brought here up to the last day of grace,
and there are always some shad to be had
as late as the 25th of the month. Salt
water fish are a little more plentiful, and
all the fish arriving here new are in first
class condition. Shad never were finer.
White fish are scarce, crabs and clans
are plentiful and large shipments are re-
ceived here every morning. Soft crabs are
being receiver from Crisfield, Md, and are
selling at 10 cents dozen. Frogs, like
fish, are scarce, and were bringing 81
dozen today.
Birds arc scarce on the fish stands at
this season, the principal thing in this line
being squads. Those raised in this vicinity
retail at 25 cents each, while the Philadel-
phia squads sell at 35 cents.
AS soon as the shad and herring season
is ended the summer seines will be put in
the river for the catching Of rock fish and
perch For some time these seines will
haul out some shad. but they will be used
by the men at the fishing shore or sold to
the country people, as the law forbids their
being brought here after June 10, as al
ready stated.
Yesterday at Gelden's stand in the
market there was a large quill fish on ex-
hibition. This queer specimen of fish was
brought here On a boat from Kingston, Ja-
maica, and is said by the market people to
be the only one in the city.

several days ago by the Commissioners
from Mrs. NJ. L. Catlin superintendent of

ence to Isaiah lvi:4-7 and lviii:12-14. The
letter was received May IL. and Mrs. Cat

TO- it Is made unlawful for any person to
labor on the Lords day-commonly called

the honor to say that the company, by act
of Congress approved August 2, 1892, is re-
quired to complete and equip It's 9th street
line with new motive power by the I'd of
August next under the penalty of forfeit
ing its charter. If, therefore. 1t Is neces-
sary for the contractor In order to complete
the road by that time 10 prosecute the con-
struction on Sunday. then the work Is one
of necessity and Is not prohibited by the

Gov. O'FerraII Agrees to Join Forces
Trade i'm the War Against EVIL.

Mr.. B. H. Warner. De. A. P. Pardon and
Judge I. G. kimball spent a pleasant and
profitable two hours at the governor 9
mansion In Richmond yesterday afternoon
In company with Gov. O'Ferrall of Vir-
ginia. The gentlemen, went south as a
representative committee of the Washing
ton board of trade for the purpose of con-
ferring with the governor over ways and
means by which the gambling and general
lawlessness which now flourishes unre-
strained in certain sections of Alexandria
county may be stopped and punishment
assured for those who persist in disre-
garding the Virginia statutes. Mr.. John
B. Wight, secretary of the board of trade,
was one of the party and was present at
the conference.
When the committee was met by the
governor 1t was given a hearty and cordial
reception, and it's members very quickly
perceived that Mr.. O'Ferrall was as deeply
interested in the subject as they were
lined the objects which the board of trade
desired to accomplish, and then followed
general discussion of the conditions eX-
isting across the river.
The governor showed that he was per-
fectly familiar with affairs In that vicinity,
ard promised to do everything in his power
to eliminate the evils existing there. He
said that If the board of trade would Sc
cure evidence of unlawful acts on the part
of any one in Alexandria county he would
if necessary. send the attorney general to
Alexandria and have a special jury i'm
paneled to try the cases. He also assured
the committee that he would have any enc
who attempted to make foreign books at
the race track prosecuted, and would prose-
cute vigorously any other infractions of
law ct these places. The visitors returned
well pleased with the result of their jour
Dey, and will prepare at once a report to

LOWEST FOR NINE YEARS.
The Death Rate Went SIN Lower
Last Week.

The death rate In this city during last
week was the lowest which has occurred
for nine years. The number of deaths re-
ported at the health department was 70,
as against 91 in the previous week The
rate upon the whole population was 144i,
and for the whites 1t fell to the remarkably
low figure of 9.63 per thousand Inhabitants
There was an almost total absence of
deaths from any OF the contagious dis
eases, and no death from typhoid fever was
reported. The most prominent feature of
the weeks hygienic history was the num-
Der of fatal attacks on the brain, reaching
the unusual number Of ten for the week.
1nfantile mortality stands at the normal
and as yet the annual visitation of sum-
mer dtarrhoeas has not made appear
ance, probably retarded by the late, cold
spring.
One effect of the recent enforcement of
the so-called "Edmunds law In this Dis
trict against people cohabitiug together as
man and wife without legal marriage is to
be seen In the enormous return of 262 mar
riages to the health officer during the week:
The usual number would be about 80.
