aged thirty-two years. The woman Is under
police surveillance. THE affair occurred
yesterday afternoon. but the police Gid not
hear OF it until tonight.
The story, as told by eye WITNESSES, Is as
follows:
Hakesley called at the residence OF Saloon
keeper William i. Lusk. 1858 East Eager
street. yesterday afternoon. While seated
in IA room Conve-sin- with Mrs. Lusk and
her mother-in-iaw, Mrs. Hakesiey appeared.
She rushed into the apartment excIuiniing
Now I've caught you with other women"
and made a Iunge at her husband with an
umbrella.
The ferrule entered the mans eye ard
probably pierced the brain. with 4 shrek
Hakesley fell to the floor and expired in a
few minutes.
The body of Hakesley was carted to the
McDonough street house last night and
would probably have been buried without
further ado but for the inability of the
family to secure n burial permit.
One OF the physicians applied to for a
death certificate notified Marshal Frye
that the case savored OF foul play. and an
investigation was made. A post-moT,em
and inquest will be held tomorrow.
Mrs. Hakesley admits that the umbrella
ferrule probably caused her husbands
death. hat asserts that he advanced as il
to strike her. She raised the umbrella to
defend herself and he ran against 1t.

DEAD AND GONE.

Burke spoke in monotone, and the splendid
orations that are cited as models of Eng
1ish composition were listened to by few
auditors. SO DUH was his delivery that
he was called the Dinner Bellof the House."
because when he arose to speak the greater
partof fthemembers at once went out.
Johann Irinyi died a few years ago in
Hungary at the age of seyenty-Dine. He
was one OF the five OF six persons who
claimed to be the inventors of matches In
their present form. He brought out his III
ventlon in Vienna in 1886 and a factory
was started to work it. For the last few
years he has acted as government inspector
Of match factories in Hungary. He died
Q poor man.
The Sheik Ben Aissa, who died Mt Medeah,
near Algiers, recently, was 115 years old.
The other remarkable thing about him was
that he possessed sacred seal, the holding
OF which endowed himself and his whole
tribe with the magic property OF handling
poisonous snakes with impunity.

coRcoRAN GALLERY OPENING.
First of the Public Friday Evenings
Drew u Big Crowd.

When Archie Flynn and ''Roast'' Hen
messy climbed the broad staircase and stood
in the main room OF the Corcoran gallery
last night it was their introduction TO art.
Archie and Roast are two little Eek
ercise'' boys who were among the few inno-
cents connected with the race tracks in
Virginia, and they drifted with the well
dressed crowd which flowed into the gallery.
Last night was the opening of the free
night exhibitions of the season, and while
the attendance was not as large as on the
Initial free night exhibition last year. Still
the crowd was a big one. Not even the
most enthusiastic lover of painting and
sculpture in the throng was more highly
pleased than the two race track walls.
Their comments as they viewed the pictures
were unique.
They looked long into the pale face Of
Charlotte Corday. peeping from behind the
bars on the famous canvas of Charles Lewis
Muller.
"Say, Archie, 1 wonder what she wuz
pinuhed fer?" asked Roast"
II don't know" said Archie, but it's
tough she couldn't git ball.
The free exhibits will continue on Friday
evenings during the remainder OF the
season.

GONE BACK ON REEDS RULES
Attitude of the Republicans Caused
No Little Surprise.
sharp Debate on the Report Charac-
terized the Short Session
Of tho House,

The fact that the Republicans propose to
modify their mstlsei of ascertainiiig a
quorum, although the Supreme Court sus
| tanned Speaker Reeds coarse In the kiIty-
first Congress. has occasioned considerable
surprise, especially among the Democrats.
That the Republicans ahould imperil their
advantage. even by returning to the rules
of The Forty seventh Congress, Is in Itself
remarkable. The only explanation given
is that IL Is caused by u desire TO pursue
The most liberal policy consistent with the
expeditions transaction of business, and at
the same lime coneiiiate certain faction
within their own ranks. s.
Although this point has not been settled
1t il certain the proposition Of the Forty
seventh Congress to ascertain u quorum
will be adopted.
In arguing upon this point yesterday Mr..
Bailey discussed the difference between "a
quorum and 1.-THE qHorum," and as to the
effect or the distinction upon legislation.
He maintained that u bill must receive the
affirmative votes of a majority Of quorum
OF tho House.
Speaker Reed took a brief part in the
discussion, an,agouizing the view taken
by MIR. Bailey OF the dccisinn OF the ST.
preme Court of the United States upon the
rule Of the Fifty-first Congress regulating
the question.
Ir MI Eailey's Position were correct, the
Speaker said, he must hold that no bill
could pass the House receiving less than
SD affirmative votes.
ThcTule vr The For, ,y-seventhC Congress was
proposed by J. Randolph Tucker, and wa
met then as now by the legal objection
that il would authorize the passage of a
bin by the yDies Gf less than n majority
OF quorum.
The discussion OF the amendments pro-
posed to be made 10 the rules OF the House
by the Committee on Rules, upon which
the House entered yesterday, Tor a time
apparently threatened to extend over n
weeks session. Bat IL was only diver
Sion The debate VIII probably be con-
Guided today.
A motion by AIR. Dearmord to instruct
tie sergeaa;-at-arms in the rules to with
hold pay of members absent for any other
cause than Illness, was voted down.
Pending further discussion on the means
OF nseeriaiDing quorum the House, at
4o5, adjourned until today.
