Verdict
The United States Electric Light Com
pany Declared Guilty of
Gross Neglect.

An inquest was held by Acting Coroner
Glazebrook this me rning at the third pre-
cinct station house. K street near 10Th
northwest, into the death of Edward Hand
Ter, the eight-year-old boy who was killed
yesterday morning by coming into contact
with an electric light wire in the Rock

detailed in The Evening Star Of yesterday.
A jury was impaneled, consisting of Felix

B. Holtzclaw, Nelson H. DuvaH and James
A. Magee.
Among the witnesses examined were W.
N. Fuller, Joseph Fiaherty, Thomas Fttz-

hanging on the ground and buried In the
grass, and that the boy came In contact
with this Evidence was also given to show
that the same pole had been replanted ana
that it was still dangerous. The electric

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
Inquest Held Over the Body of John
FrizZe1.

FrizzcI.
The inquest over the body of John Fritz
gel, who was killed yesterday morning at
the car sheds of the Great Falls electric
railway near Pewter Mill branch, Md.
was held at noon today at the scene Of
the accident There was considerable
doubt as to the holding of the inquest.
1t was first thought that the District au-
thorities would hold the inquiry. but the
Nc ntgomery county officials decided that
the accident occurred in Maryland the
inquest should be held there.
telephone message was sent to Deputy
Coroner GlsZebrook last evening from Cab
in John bridge requesting that the body be
turned over to the Maryland people for the
purposes of holding the inquest. The re-
quest was granted, and the jury of Mary
land residents was summoned by Deputy
Sheriff and Constable William r. Embrey
The inquest was conducted by Justice of
the Peace Robert G. Davidson The jury
consisted of Messrs. James H. Loughbor-
oUgh, Albert bowling, Richard Pyles, Al
bert Allen, John Harper, John Crown, Dan
iel Kennedy, James Riley, Oliver Boswell
George Sullivan, Noble G.. Bowling and
John Lynch. twelve men, and all white.
The first witness called was William H.
Johnston. the mctorman of the car IS,
which ran in the switch and caused the
death He described the accident as al
ready detailed in The Star.
j. A. Ryan. the conductor ON car %, gave
similar testimony.
Mr.. J. J. Camp, the superintendent of the
road. was called to speak Of the duties of
the deceased.
J. H. HameH. a colored man, was another
witness. He was q passenger on car %.
Other testimony was heard, and, after de-
liberating for some time the jury came to
the conclusion that the deceased met with
an accidental death. and holding no one re-
sponsible for the same.

TWO PARDONS.

One of Them Is VIM. n. Robinson OF

Another mail from the President at Gray
Gables reached the White House today.
He granted pardon to John Ansbro. con-
victed in New York of Illegal dumping in
New York harbor and sentenced December
20, 1894, to six months Imprisonment in
Ludlow street jail. He surrendered to the
authorities April 10. 1896. In his indorse-
ment the President says: This prisoner has
been imprisoned more than two and a half
months under his sentence. He was con-
victed under statute comparatively new,
he being the first person sentenced by virtue
of it's provisions. His offense did not in
volve any moral turpitude. and the punish
ment he has already suffered and the sus-
tainment of the statute by the courts in
his case, In my opinion, subserved the ends
of justice. The pardon of this convict Is
recommended by the judge who sentenced
him and the district attorney who prose-
cuted him.
The President has also granted a pardon
to William R., alias Goliath Robinson, con-
sault with intent to kill. and sentenced
January 30, 1892, to eight years imprison-
ment in the Albany penitentiary. This
convict" says the President, has been I'M
prisoned about four years and half. i am
impressed with the belief that in view of
all the circumstances surrounding the COM
mission of his offense. the ends of justice
have been answered by the Imprisonment he
has already suffered. In addition to this
the warden and physician of the prison
where he is confined represent that the con-
vct's health is very bad and that his sick
ness is such to make the duration of his
life probably short at best and very uncer
tain"

A MorHER-oF-pEARL HOUSE.
Built by q Chinese Fisherman Many
Years Ago.

Built by n Chinese Fisherman Many
Years Ago.
From the San Francisco Gail
Odd Inhabitants are to be found all over
California Sometimes there is good rea-
son for them being odd. but often tt is the
result Of some crank idea On the beach
near Cypress Point, in Monterey county,
there Is one that cannot come under the
first head and hardly under the last.
The residence belonged to Chinese fish
erman. and is part natural and part the
work of his own hands. The natural por-
ton of the house Is small cave in one Of
the many rocks that stick up all over the
beach. The other part Is sort Of wooden
shed which has been built in front of this
opening. The lumber used is of the rough
est kind. but the esthetic Chinaman over
came this objection by covering the whole
outside with abalone shells, the hollow SIDE
being turned out
The Chinaman evidently did that MANY
years ago, when the shells were plentiful
and had scarcely any market value. Every
shell used has been destroyed, as one or
more nails have been driven through them
according to their size. Some of the shells
are magnificent in color and enormous In
size. There Is one at least fifteen inches in
diameter, and q duplicate in good condition
could not be bought In San Francisco for
any price Most Of the larger shells, If
they were not punctured with nail holes.
would readily sell for from s. to IS apiece
But that size cannot be had in the market
now, ana would be difficult to find on the
rocks on any part Of the coast.
The general effect Of the house when tha
sun strikes 1t at the proper angle, Is dag
zling. The polished, pearIy surfaces spar
kle with astounding brifliancy and flash
with all the colors Of the rainbow. 1t is q
pleasing and surprising sight. and the only
pity Is that SO many beautiful shells were
destroyed to produce it.

THE LAST CAPTURED SLAYER.

Her Captain Snid to Have Been Hang
ed on BedloV's Island.
From the Cleveland Leader
The only captain of a slave vessel who
suffered the death penalty in America was
captured by crew of which one of the
members is now citizen of Cleveland the
engineer of the Peoples Gaslight and Coke
Company.
The slave ship was the Erie, and 1t was
the last American SLAYER captured" said
Mr.. Matthews in talking about the histori-
cal event. She was taken off the mouth Of
the Congo in the spring of 1851 by the Unit
ed States sloop-of-war Mohican- / was cap
tain of the foretop and OF the starbcard
watch. The capture was accidental. The
vessels dealing in slaves would slip out in
the intervals between the patrol beats of
the men-ofwar. and they knew pretty well
our habits. But this time the Mohican was
delayed two days in waiting for mail, and
going from the island of Fernandizo we
sighted a vessel making from the mouth of
the Congo We were flying a French flag
and the stranger fioaied an American flag.
we signaled her to heave to, but this re-
quest not being regarded. q shot was fired.
Then she hove to without offering resist
ance, and party being sent aboard found
every one dressed alike. 1t was thus some
captain. She was manned by fifteen men
and had on board $40 slaves and three slave
agents The slaves were landed and the
slave agents and five Spaniards, who did
not wish to claim American citizenship,
were sent away in trade boat. Eight of
the slaver's crew were shipped on the Mo
hican and the officers and two Of the crew
were brought TO America The slave ship
was taken to Liberia
The captain of the SLAYER was Nathaniel
Gordon. and year after his capture he was
swung on Bellows Island, where the Statue
OF Liberty now stands. The first mate was
Sentenced to ten years Imprisonment the
second mate received five years sentence
ana the TWO rien were each given a year.
The severe dealing with the officers was
due 10 the intense feeling on the slavery
question, as the war had just broken out
The second mate and the two men voI,1n-
teeFef 70 enter the army and were allowed
10 go Tree. Our lieutenant, Huntington
won't into the confederate navy after bring
ing Gordon back.
ABOUT three months before the expert
enee with the Erie a SLAYER ESCAPED MS by
beihS disguised as a whaler. The simula-
ucn was very perfect, and on the decks We
could see even the boiling watts. The cap
tam showed papers which disarmed s,Is-
plcion, and when the 'whaier put up for he
night at the mouth of the Congo our captain
informed him that next morning he would
come around on visit
In the morning he was gone having
taken 1900 slaves aboard. We sighted a
vessel IN the distance, which we pursued
ara found to be an English man-of-war
also trying to catch the .whaler'"

The Melancholy Cuckoo.


The American cukoo belongs to the wood
pecker tribe. and is only summer visitor.
coming about the first of June and leaving
early in the fall for Florida. Unlike the
English cuckoo, ours builds it's own nest
and raises its young. to whom IL is a most
devoted parent. We have two species in
this country. the yellow bill and the black
bill, the latter being best known In Penn
syivania-
Both are smaller than the old worlds
species and differ from IL in color being
greenish olive above and BLUSH white be-
heath, while the European bird is black
winged. The American cuckoo has a tail
longer than its body, which gives il a
hawk-hke appearance and the plumage is
soft and silky, like that OF the owl, which
enables 1t to fly without making any noise
SO that we often hear its call without being
able to see the bird.
Burroughs says: This call OF the cuckoo
has solitary hermit-like sound as IL the
bird was alone in the world and called on
the fdtes to witness his desoIation." He
has never heard the call answered, nor has
. he ever seen two birds together. The call
is heard most in cloudy weather and before
rain, from which the birds gets the name
of rain crow.
