Fnmiliar Figure Gone.

john Riley. an elderly man, who was a
familiar figure about the fish and oyster
Wharves, died in the Aims House Hospital
Yesterday, after an illness of about a week.
Complaint was made to the police at that
time that the old man had not been seen
out OF the cellar Of a house on 18th street,
where he lived, for several days, and when
the police went there they found him ill.
He was sick, and was also suffering for
want of proper food. Several times before
ne mad been sent to the hospital, but this
Tune he was much worse off than he had
peen On any former occasion. Even then
ne imagined he could get along better in
ms d1ngy room than he could in hospital
The police. however, would not listen to
the old mans talk about remaining there
and SO he was taken in the police ambu-
lance to the hospital. He was ninety-fiye
years old, and was known as corn doc
tor He had war record, having served
for several years he has been endeavorng
to get claim through Congress Sanitary
Officer Frank, who has the case in charge,
thinks that Riley is an Illinois man, and
Is anxious to hear from his relatives
The old man was regarded by his friends
as q crank. He imagined he had saved a
number of gunboats on the high seas, and
this was the founda ton for his claim. Most
or his life had been spent about sand boats
and Wrecking boats, and he always was
We'll pleased with any one who called him
captain" 1t is said that he had lived in
st. Louis for a long time, and one of his
intimate friends said he thought he had
not been in the service during the war.

Death of Harrison s. Tinker.

Mr.. Harrison S. Tinker, prominent resi-
dent OF East Washington, died at his resi-
dence. 40l Sth street southeast, Monday
night, after brief illness. He was the
proprietor of a shoe store at Sth and D
streets southeast and as a merchant en-
joyed the highest confidence and respect.
Before going into business Mr.. Tinker was
for years librarian Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, in which position he made many
friends among the members. He possessed
executive ability of a high order, and dur
ing his earlier years took an active part i'll
the politics of Philadelphia, his native city,
where he was one of the three who issued
the first call for volunteers at the outbreak
of the war. He was a loyal and active
member of the G. A. R., having joined Far
ragut Post a north after its institution.
During his twelve years of membership he
contributed much by his interest and en-
ergy to the success of that organza ton.
He steadily declined any official honors at
its disposal, but at the last department en-
campment he was elected a representative
to the national encampment at st. Paul. A
bookbinder by trade. and many years ago
employed at the government printing office,
he has continuously kept membership in
the union Of that craft. He leaves q widow
but no children. The funeral will be from
his late residence tomorrow afternoon at 3
o'clock.

CHURCHES EMBARRASSED.
Effect of the Burning of a Publica tiOI
Plant.

The operations Of the Baptist denomina-
ton in some Of its fields of work in this
section have been seriously interfered with
by the great fire which destroyed the plant
of the American Baptist Publication Soci-
ETY. about two months ago in Philadelphia,
but in Virginia the effect has been ca
lamity, and great fear has been expressed
within the last few days by members of
the Sunday school and Bible board of the
Baptist General Association that they will
have to cease work for some months at
least.
The trouble came in this way: Almost all
of the Bibles and books handled by the col
porteurs of the board are purchased from
the American Baptist Publication Society.
This great publishing house has easily ex-
tended generous credit to the Sunday
school and Bible board.
The hahit Of the Virginia Baptist church
es Is to give largely during the winter and
spring to the general boards, and during
the summer and fall to the state boards.
In the summer and fall, therefore, the Sun
day school and Bible board has received as
a rule enough money 20 pay its accoun is
and close it's year, October 81, practically
out of debt.
During the winter and spring the board
has used it's credit freely. and carried con-
siderable Indebtedness. This year. in the
midst of this period Of Indebtedness, the
American Baptist publication Society lost
by fire its magnificent plant. Immediately
the need of money pressed upon every debt
or to the society. Every account was cali
ed. The Virginia board appealed to the
churches for means to settle with the So
ciety. but the result was not as liberal as
was hoped for, and although every dollar
that could be secured was RENTED to the
society, the latter has notified the Sunday
school and Bible board that more thar
one-half the account must be paid today or
no more credit will be given.
The board is undecided whether to borrow
money and ray its debt, it being anxious
to assist the society all it can in it's pres
ent dilemma or practically suspend active
work until June, when it Is expected collec-
lions will again begin to come in, but will
come to no decision in the matter until
it hears whether the check which the
ger eral secretary has sent to the society
will be sufficient to meat the demands for
the present.

ored men, Godfrey Jefferson and William
Thompson. charged with stealing the old

are also known Cotton Harding and
Kitty Gray, were arrested in Baltimore

robbed. Frank Callahan, who was found

the charge, and none of the Bischoff prop
erty was found on them. They were lock-

VOTING METHODS IN VIRGINIA.
Committeeman Scott Saws II Is Hard
tn Secure Eair Election

Committeeman Scott SAYS II Is Hard
to Secure Fair Election.
New York, oct. 2s.-Col. swords. the
sergeant alarms oil the Republican ma
tional committee, today bet $4,000 to
81 200 that Mckinley would be ;he next
Z re- sidcnJ of the United States. The
colonel says betting is very slow i'll this
election and that he cannot lind any Bryan
money.
Executive Committeeman n. Il. Scott
returned to his desk ut Republican head
quarters after an absence OF Ii few days
in Virginia.
We have the votes il Virginia. said he,
Ito carry the State beyond doubt, and the
only trouble III the old Dominion Is their
methods oi preventing the honest expression
OF the voters ut the polls
To illustrate-in Jackson ward, in the
city OF Richmond. the number OF voters
is $500 ard there are only four polling
places in the ward. The purpose of this
is obvious. They challenge every cclored
man who comes up to vote.
The law provides that each voter
shall have only two minutes and Il half
10 prepare his ballot. They consume two
and a ALI minutes in challenging the col
ored man and the result is he loses his
vote.
when the polls close there are hundreds
of voters who have not had n chance To
vote. So you can see what difficulties we
have to overcome in carrying an honest
election in Virginia we have takcn every
precaution in every county and every
precinct in the State and if We do not
get a fair count there will be Some rat
Ting of dry bones after election.
