HIS NAME UNKNOWN.

:.
The Body Identified as That Of a
FOrmee Inmate OF the Work House.
An unknown man died at the Emergency
Hospital last evening and now lies in the
dead room. not having been fully identified
up to o'clock this afternoon. Policeman
Walsh OF the sixth precinct, about 7:30
o'clock last evening, found the man lying
on the pavement at the corner of I'd and c
streets northwest. He appeared to be in an
advanced state Of intoxication, and after
attempting to bring him to his senses the
policeman called the patrci =agon and the
man was removed to tie station.
There he gradually grew worse, and con-
GLIDING that his condition was serious, the
unknown was driven to the Emergency
Hospital, where he died within twenty
minutes after arrival. A search OF the
body disclosed nothing beyond several
nor the slightest clue that might lead to
Identification.
The man is about TWENTY-FIVE years old,
Of medium height. and build. with a light
mustache. His outer clothing consists of
dark gray coat. trousers with overalls.
and brown SLOUGH hat. The hands and
face were begrimed with railroad soot
and the presence Of grease on the clothes
gave rise to the supposition that the man
was either q railroad ep1ploye or had been
riding for some time on q train.
At o'clock this afternoon q man named
James Dugan, who stated that he was re-
leased from the workhouse two days ago,
called at the hospital and identified the
body as that Of man who was also in the
workhouse recently, but Dugan did not
know his name.
Dugan met the man yesterday on the
street. talked with him and saw at glance
that he had been drinking heavily An eff
fort will be made to learn the name Of the
deceased from the records at the work
house.
An autopsy will be made this afternoon,
and the coroner will then determine
whether or not an inquest is necessary.

The Ford's Theater Disa.ter.


Tho headQus rters Of the commission on
the Ford's Theater disaster will today be
removed to the room Of the Senate COM
mittee on private land claims, which room
has been assigned to Ser ator Harris, late
chairman of the Senate committee on the
District Of Columbia, Mr. Harris being
chairman Of the commission. The room
Of the committee on private land claims
is located in the northeast corner of the
Capitol on the gallery floor.
To Pay Truck DIS Force.
Mr.. Babcock has introduced a Joint reso-
luton to pay the force Of Truck Company
from January 1 to June 30. 1896, the
same not being provided in the current
appropriation bill. The appropriation will
be for one foreman at the rate of $1,000
per annum. ore tillerman at the rate of
$40 per annum, one hostler at the rate Of
$40 per annum and rine privates at the
rate of $500 per annum each.
The Proposed Belt Line Extension.
Mr.. George T. Dunlop, president of the
Capital Traction Company, visited the Cap
itol today. He was asked by a Star re-
porter whether the extensions asked for by
the Belt Railway Company in its bill in
troduced in the Senate by Mr.. Mcmillan
on December 81 would conflict with any
interest of his company. Mr.. Dunlop re-
piled that he did not see that they did, with
the exception, perhaps, of the extension
which it is proposed in the bill to have
run up 18th street north of v street to
Park avenue. The Capitol Traction Com
pany's line now runs up 18th street, and
that interest might be conflicted with. He
did not see, however, how tho road could
be continued up 18th street in view of the
great amount of grading that would be re-

Question Being Canvassed Among
Philadelphia Street Railway Men.
PHILADELPHIA, January IA renewal
of the strike which paralyzed street rail-
way traffic in this city for the week pre-
ceding Christmas seemed imminent until
o'clock this morning, and 1t Is possible
that the men may yet 60 out.
At the hour mentioned a meeting Of the
employees and their leaders voted to poll the
conductors and motormen OF the various
branches today to determine the sentiment
Of the men on a new proposition submit
ted by General Manager Bsetem Of the
Union Traction Company last night, in
which he agreed to give the old men prefer
ence over the new men brought from other
cities to take the places of strikers. He
also agreed to reconsider the cases OF men
discharged previously to the strike because
of their membership in the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway Employees.
The men, since their return to work, have
insisted strongly on their demand for 81
pay for a day of ten hours. Mr.. Beetem
at first peremptorily declined to consider
this demand, but it Is understood that he
has since stated that the board of direc-
tors Is considering the question of re-
ducti1n Of hours. At present the men work
twelve to thirteen hours, and some of them
make less than 81 day.
Today committees are busy on each di-
vision canvassing among the men and the
result of this vote will be announced at a
meeting called for o'clock this afternoon,
when they will definitely decide whether
another strike shall be inaugurated to en-
force their demaI Is.
A majority Of the men are very agrees
sive. but a strong minority oppose another
strike, and In the event Of a crisis it is be-
heved many will refuse to desert their
cars.
1t was stated this afternoon that should
the street car men decide to strike Presi-
dent Mahon of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton and other labor leaders will Withdraw
their services and take no further part in
the dispute in this city. Since the recent

Senator Bruce Doesn't Want Zeal tn

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
BALTIMORE, Md, January 2-Senator
william CabeIl Bruce the new president of
the Maryland senate, in q converse tion
with The Star correspondent on the legis-
latlon to be introduced during the present
session of the general assembly, said: 81
shall endeavor to push all reform leeisla-
tion through the senate as rapidly as pos
slbie, for my experience has taught me
that the zeal for reform. so manifest at the
opening OF the session, grows cold long be-
lore the time for final adjournment. I
snail insist that the senate act quickly and
decisively on all reform measures. in order
uhat they may be sent over to the house
es soon as possible. Then if any DELAY oc
ours, TIE responsibility will rest with the
delegates and not with the senator's"
Ex-Gov. Jackson is displaying an inclina
ton to identify himself with the reform
movement, and declares that the demo-
Gratis must cooperate with their republican
allies to further all commendable reform
measures.
Now that the speakership question has
been decided the United States senatorshin
hght Is attracting the bulk of popular at
tention. The eastern shore members and
other opponents Of Congressman Yelling
ten are delighted at the election of Sydney
b. Mudd as Speaker, for in his success
they believe they see the overthrow of
Wellington's chances Of succeeding Senator
Gibson. The eastern shore men are par
tlcularly jubflant over the result of the
election of Mr.. Mudd, as they regard it as
meaning that the present eastern shore
law will be sustained.
Mr.. Wellington's friends laugh at the en-
thusiasm of those opposed to him, and
state that the result of the speakership
fight will have absolutely no effect on the
struggle Tor the senatorship. They say
that number of his adherents voted for
Mudd, and that the latter has no desire to
cast his influence against the Allegany
man.
Col. Mulliken, Mr.. Charles T. Westcott
and MIR. Phillips L. Goldsborough three
prominent eastern shore senatorial aspir-
ants, are in town and are airing their sew
eral rooms for the benefit of the local poll
ticians.
Mr.. Wellington can count on more votes
than any one of his rivals, but it is doubt
full If he has enough votes to nominate
him. The western Maryland members are
all for him, and so are many of those from
this city.

MAYOR PINGREE's FIGHT,
Trying to Force Transfers on Eigl
fOr-a-Quarter Tickcta.

Trying to Force Transfers ON Eight
fOr-a-Qunrter Tickets.
DETROIT, Mich, January 2.-Mayor Pin.
gree today showed his hand In a new plan
to require the Citizens Street Railway
Company to grant universal transfers up
on e.ght-for-a-quarter tickets. The mayor
had petitioned the circuit court a week age
to compel the company to resume sale OF
the six-for-a-quarter tickets, with transfer
privileges, which the company voluntarily
sold last summer, but which were discon-
tinued because the city government had re-
fused to grant extensions of franchises and
other favors to the company.
Today this petition was amended so as
to require the Citizens company to furnish
transfers with the eight-for-a-quarter tick.
cts, which latter are being sold by the COM
pany temporarily as test Of a new ordi-
nance. The mayor hopes through the
courts to force the company into granting
what would be uncertain of accomplish
ment by means Of an ordinance TO the same
effect.
