DETECTIVE WAS DANGEROUS
woman Thought He Acted Suspi-
ciously Around Marquette's Statue.

Pere Marquette still watches the crowds
as they go passing by in statuary Hall.
The police and detectives still watch the
statue and no harm has come to il vet.
The strangest thing that has occurred
for several days is the branding OF The de-
teCtive as a dangerous man. The office
of the sergeant t-at-arms is laughing at him
now.
Since the trouble began over the statue
an officer in citizens clothes has been by
it most of the time. He mikes with the
crowds, and if any inrlammatory remarks
are made hustles the person making them
out of the crowd. He has found that the
opposition consists more of talk than any
thing else.
Monday afternoon, though, Tie detective
noticed Il woman acting queeriy around the
station. So strange were her actions that
he concluded that she would bear watching,
and watch her he did. The Officers actions
also struck the woman as peculiar and she
evidently determined to watch him.
She did keep her eye on him and TO such
good effect that she concluded he was
a dangerous man. But she thought she
would not act hastily in the matter. She
would sleep over 1t and the next day if she
found this suspicious looking fellow around
she would report him to the police. So she
slept over it.
Yesterday twithstanding the terrible
weather she was at Statuary Hall bright
and early. The first person she saw was the
suspicious looking man and the first per-
son he saw was the woman. That settled
it and she left the han. A few minutes alter
she returned with an officer in uniform and
in most excited manner said:
"There he is, ] know he is a dangerous
man. I've been watching him for several
days.
The uniformed officer explained and the
woman was satisfied.

is IT A TRIFLE?
That Common Trouble, Acid Dys-
pepsia or Sour Stomach.
Now Recognized as n Cause of Serious
Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is form of indlges-
tion resulting from fermentation OF the rood.
The stomach being too weak TO promptly
digest it, the food remains until fermenta-
ton begins, filling the stomach with gas, ana
bitter, sour, burning taste III the mouth is
often present. This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occurrence
is given but little attention. Because dys-
pepSia is not Immediately fatal, manNspeO-
pie do nothing for the trouble.
1t is now well known among able physi-
clans that he whole constitution Is gradual
" undermined and weakened, that the
nerves and vital organs are seriously ar
fected by any form OF dyspepsia. This is
plain, as every organ, every nerve IN the
body is nourish,d by the blood and the
blood is rcplcnishGd from the food digeSted.
If the food is PROPERLY digestcd the
blood is pure, the nerves steady. but If
supplied from sour, ferInenting. decaying
mass, the blood is vitattd. poisoned, aud
the result is shown in sleeplesSness, lack
OF energy, poor appetite. nervousness.
Every triflc is maGmiied and the dESpcptc
sees nothing but II, DARK side OfeverythInG
Within recent period remedy has been
discovered prepared SOl1lyt TO cure dyspepsia
and stomach troubles. 1t is known as stu

coming rapidly used nd prescribedas radl
II is not claimed 10 cure anything except
dyspepsia and stomach weakness in its var

Reed and O'Leary, have recently stated that
they considered Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
an unfailing specific for disorders OF the
digestive organs, and The remarkable cures
made in eases OF long standing dyspepsia
proves that this remedy has extraordinary
merit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
druggists everywhere at 80 cents per pack

cal Company, Marshall. Mich, and while it

RIcycIes TaIk.

Are you thinking of purchasing a bicycle?
You have been confused by the representa-
tions made concerning Il great number OF
bicycles of different designs. Let us help
you out a little Take your stand at any
prominent corner (prcferably'one OF the APP
proaches to the Conduit road on Il bright
Sunday morning in the spring, and watch
for the Columbia name-piate as they pass
by. You will notice that great majority
of them are Columbias. Why is this?
The real reason for this great preponder-
ance of Columbias is the real excellence of
the machine. 1t is demonstrated by its
thousands of riders, and not by the talk
of the salesman, for there is no eSta bliSh-
ment in the city of Washington where SO
little talking is done to sell Il bicycle as in
ours. The machine speaks for itself. In
purchasing a Columbia you have behind
ii the Pope Manufacturing Co., with its inn
mense plant, the largest in the world, and its
long experience, equaled by no other manu-
facturer in the country, and its combina-
tion of brains and talent are far and away

II is negligence for railroad TO fail 10

This is the decision of a jury in Judge

that time the train struck the coupe.
When the jury came iii Foreman Clarence

SUIT AGAINST MIR. CAKE.
Rebecca e. Milburn Makes Claim
Apainst Normandie's Proprietor.


The Hotel Normandie, according to a
suit brought yesterday, was started out
OF the savings of the proprietor head cook
when he was at the Chew House and the
Hotel Richmond.
The st yle Of the case is Rebecca L. Mil
burn, administrators OF Mary f. Milburn,
against Horace NJ. Cake. Miss Milburn is
the daughter of the late Nary Milburn, who
was Mr. Cakes head cook from 1888 until
May 15, 1895. Her pay was $50 month
and she had pension of $S month, which
in March, 1856, was increased TO $12
q month. tl
Mrs Miburn, it is asserted, was woman
OF simple habits and saved considerable
part OF her income. In 1888 she gave Mr..
Cake 5000 she had received as accrued
pension and at various times thereafter
turned over TO him her savings to invest
for her. This was done in amounts from
$40 to $14O a year toi Miss Milburns s
kno wledge, amounting i'll all 10 81 ,090.
Mr. Cake, it is alleged. never gave any
accounting for the money thus received
during Mrs Milburn's life. When Miss
Milburn came TO administer upon her
mothers estate MI Cake admitted the
facts, but said he had only received 81 ,090
With allowance for interest on one side
and payments on the other he reckoned
that he was owing her 81, Ill.
Miss Miburn thinks Mr.. Cake has for
gotten to count any money her mother let
him have except her income from the
pension, and she is sure that he ought
to allow 6 per cent interest instead of o
as he does in his accounts. She is in
| formed that she has the privilege, aftel
an accounting is rendered showing the
| business of the hotel, to elect whether she
will take a share In the profits of the
business or repayment of the money
| with interest
| She asks for a full accounting and equita
| BILE settlement of her claim.

AGAINST THE COMMISSIONERS.
Mrs. Louise MOhler Has Practically
Won Her 200 Case.


TheCommiSsionersw were practically beaten
at the close OF the day yesterday in their
contest for S1.727.32 claimed by Mrs Louise
Mohler as belonging to the estate OF her
husband, the late William H. Mohler, the
contractor.
In 1883 Mr.. Mohler did work on sewers
here, amounting IN all TO about SO, 900.
His contract was TO keep up the repairs for
five years and 10 secure This $l.742.32
was retained by the Commissioners.
his work was accepted and payment
made with the exception noted. When
the five years had expired Mrs. Moler
asked for the payment OF the amount re-
served except S14 which had been spent
for repairs. This was refused on the
ground that the construction by Mr.. Mohler
had been found defective.
She brought suit June 80, 1894, TO re-
cover the money. Mr. Samuel Maddox
was her attorney.
The case came to trial before Judge
Cole yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Maddox
had Mr.. Henry Z. Davis associated with
him IN the prosecution. Attorney for the
District Thomas and his assistant Mr. A .
b. nuvall appeared for the Commissioners.
When the taking OF testimony was closed
Judge Cole said he saw no ground npon
which the Jury could render Il verdict for
the Commissioners in such case as this
unless they could show that there had been
fraud or Il gross error on the part of both
the contractor and the District inspector.
II was agreed that the work had been
uOilt ullutr liS eye Oh IL DlStTlCl Inspector
and had been accepted and paid for. The
amount claimed had been retained as a
guarantee for repairs. He saw no possible
case except the two named. under which the
jury could refuse Mrs. Mohler verdict
Furthermore as TO the evidence OF fraud
or gross error IL was agreed by the Com
missioners' attorneys that the most they
could show was that the concrete in the
work done was not regularly laid and on
an average would be four inches in thick
ness instead OF six. as called for in the
contract. To make the work comply ex
aclly with the contract would require
the whole amount retained. In his view
this was not enough TO warrant verdict
for the District.
II was agreed that an appeal would be
taken and the case went over TO give the
defense an opportunity to amend its plead
ings

RIOTS AT ST. KITS.
Consul Moore Makes II Complete Re
port On the Disturbance.


The State Department has received
from Mr.. Leopold Moore, United States
consular agent at St Christopher or st.
Kits, one of the British West India islands
of the Leeward group, about 46 miles
west-north-west of Antigua, more in
telligible and complete account of the
recent disturbances there than has hitherto
been published.
He says that about six weeks ago the
lahorerS of the estates struck for higher
wages, their pay having been reduced last
year on account of the low price of sugar
and The shortnesS of the crop. The strikers
SCI fire 10 the canes on the estates whose
proprietors refused TO accede TO their
demands.
Fortunately, H NJ. s. Cordelia had just
arrived in the harbor on tour of inspection,
and a force of marines and blue jackets
was landed. After skirmsh, in which
three of the black rioters were killed
and several wounded partial order was
restored.
The value of goods taken or destroyed
by the mob is estimated at $1,000. Sew
eral attempts were made to fire the town,
but the marines extinguished the flames
Mr. Moore adds:
The governor was tclegra phed for and
arrived the following day from Antigua,
and il was decided that the warship should
remain for the present, for the blacks are
still going around making threats to
burn the town ana murder the white people
at the first opportunity The island is
now under martial law, and no one is
allowed out after sunset"
