for what was alleged to be his first serious
offense-that Of murder-wss arrested In
this city about the Goth OF September,
1865, by detective James A. McDevist.
The crime committed by young Glare,
who was then but twenty-one years old,
was one Of the most heartless, cold blooded
affairs known in criminal history. Clare,
being something of a photographer, be-
came acquainted with Henry b. Grove,
also q photographer, who kept a studio
In Baltimore at that time, and being rather
successful In his business, always had about
him quite sum of money, In addition to
his gold watch and chain and other arti-
cies OF more or less value. This Clare
learned and he determined to secure the
money and valuables.
on Sunday, September II, 1865. Clare
visited the photograph gallery OF Grove,
ost"nsibly to have his picture taken. but
in realityit was for the purpose Of murder
Ing Grove and rObbing him Of his yalua bles.
This act was accomplished successfully
and the murderer made good his escape.
Clare sat for his picture during the time

SHADOwED BY THE EARTH.

Last Nights Lunar Eclipse a Strik-
ing Celestial Show.
The eclipse last night. nr more ac-
curately this morning. was magnificent
show. The atmosphere was clear, and
there wasn't even a ghost of cloud
all around from the horizon to the zenith.
At 1890 O'clock the moon had reached
a point nearly midway between east and
west, at which time its light was strong
enough TO extinguisiI all the stars except
Mars. Vega. Affair, and a few others of
the first magnitude.
The shadow OF the ca rth touched the
eastern edge OF the Moon just about that
time, and by degrees all OF the stars came
out, only the little twinkIcrs being still
hidden at a. H.. when the limit of the
eclipse. seven-tenths of the moons sur
face, was reached. At 2 n. NJ. a very
small part of the silver disk was visible.
from which time till a. H.. when the
shadow disappeared. the moon went through
the reverse Of the phases made by the
course or the shadow from east to west
The value OF the eclipse nowadays to
astronomers is that it enables them to
notice the occultation OF stars which hap ppen
to be in the pathway of the moon. which
observations are valuable in ttc calcula-
tion of longitude and latitude During total
echpseS it is expected that If tie moon
has an attendant like satellite it will be
discovered. There was not enough obscura-
ton last night to reveal the little moon. If
IL exists at all This eclipse was the last
for the present year.

Much talk is eotng the rounds in regard
TO the selection of new president of tn"
Metropolitan Street Railway Company
II is nearly two months before President
Phillips resignation goes into effect. but
there is always large amount OF discus
sion leading up to the settlement Of So
important a question.
A number OF suggestions have been made
as to what will be done. One Is that un-
less Mr.. Phillips has before him much
more profitable employment he will try
TO secure his own reelection. Another
report is to the effect that Mr.. Robert d.
Weaver will lie chosen. Other stories are
that the position is likely to be Offered to
District Commissioner George Truesdeil.
Mr.. Weaver, who controls a ma iorit Y
OF stock in the road, was seen yesterday y
by Times reporter. He said: Yes.
notice that I have been mentioned for
president. I dou't want the place and
cannot take it. My time is fully occu-
Lied by other business 1t ia certain as
anything can be in the future that I shall
not become president OF the road.
Further than that I can hardly say
anything We have been looking over
he matter and have not found any one
set who is satisfactory to me. l don't
know at all who will I've selected I shall
meet Mr. Phillips and tie other directors
and We will talk over the subject thor
ougbly before anything is done. There is
40 hurry and VIC are disposed to act care
fully Nothing has yet been determined,
not even the time for us to meet and
consider the meeting"
Col A. A. Wilson, one Of the directors,

WANT HEADQUARTERS HERE
League of Republican Clubs WI.
Be Invited.
Local Lenders say There Is a Good
Prospect of Securing the
Prize.

There is u good prospect that the head
quarters of the national Republican, clubs
Will be established permanently III Wash
ington. AT least there has been good
deal of quiet counsel taken and work doEe
by prominent local Republicans looking TO
that end.
The Republican clubs OF this city have
been much Interested IN this design and
especially III this campaign year when every
political organization III the United States
las made his home i'll this city.
1: was learned last night that the Re-
publican clubs had selected Mr.. II. II. Warner
and Judge Chaney as delegates Ia the meet
ing of Republican, clubs at Milwaukee 10
work up this proposition in the interest of
District Republicans.
Judge Chauey is the president OF the
Mckinley aud Hobart Interstate Associa
tion. Mr.. Warner is a member Of that as
sotiation, and it is understood that DR.. Il
L. Pardon, the president OF the Union
Republican Clubs, and its members are
working i'll harniony with the Mckinley
Hobart Club on this aud all other matters
for the campaign.
Col Odeii, who was the first president
of the Mckinley aud Hobart Club. but who
has resigned that position and Is working
now in the ranks, said last night that the
sentiment OF all The Republicans was that
the headquarters of the national clubs
should be here 1t would he an invalua bi..
aid TO the Republican Congressional COM
mittee, which has headquarters here,
which would have at hand the most de-
sirable class of information from the in-
dividual clubs all over the United States.
The chances, he said, were good.
Judge CLANCY and Mr. warner are both
regarded a men of influence. and they are
expected to put the facts in such shape rs
shall induce the direction Of The national
clubs to make Washington the center OF
action.
1t is probable that something will be
heard from Milwaukee as to the success
of these gentlemen before they return
here next week. There are other cities
which want the place. but from the stand
point of expediency and the fact Of this
city being now practically the headquarters
OF all other parties. Washington stands
the best show OF being selected.
