CITY GARBAGE PROBLEM
Contractor Warfield's Plans for
New Crematory Submitted.
A PLANT DOWN THE RIVER
Refuse TO Be Conveyed in Covered
Tanks ON Scows and Disposed
of at a Point Isolated From Resi-
dences commissioners Consider
ing the Propositions.

The Commissioners yesterday received
a letter from Garbage Contractor War
field which will probably result In the
solution OF the perplexing garbage ques-
tion. 1t is addressed to Commissioner
Wight and reads as follows:
'In compliance with your request to
submit TO you in writing a proposal for
the modification OF the present method
OF disposing Of the garbage in the District
OF Columbia. the Commissioners holding
that the present method by cremation Is
unsatisfa aetory, would respectfully state
that in nay opinion the material collected
can be transmitted down the river beyond
the limits OF the District and successfully
disposed of at a point Isolated from resi-
deices and al such a point as TO be beyond
the reach OF complaint from river travel.
"A suitable location for the erection OF
a plant can be secured on the Maryland
side of the Potomac, consisting of large
farm, which would offer the necessary
facilities for the sanitary disposal OF the
material, in the event OF an accident to
the plant, which is an important factor
always TO be considered in the selection
OF a location for a reliable and neveT-fail-
ing means of disposal
II deem it absolutely necessary 70 pro-
vide a temporary means of disposal, to
meet emergencies such as may arise from
the destruction OF the plant by fire, the
breaking OF machinery, or the like, and
with this object in view, IL is my purpose
to have a large tract of land where the
material may be handled successfully and
without creating nuisance, in the event
OF any such accident. / propose to re-
move all garbage and dead animals from
my wharf at the foot OF South Capitol
street
The garbage will be dumped in covered
steel or iron tanks. placed in scows and
dead animals removed daily in covered
scows. The scows containing garbage
will be moved promptly when loaded
II promise to keep the Brown crematory
on my property at the foot OF South Cap
itol street, in condition for active work
should ice or accident prevent transporta-
ton OF material down the river.
in order 10 prevent the congregation OF
garbage carts at the foot OF South Capitol
street, viii expect you to have said
street and the street running parallel 10 iJ
on the W est side, south OF NJ street. put
In thorough repair, also the cross streets run.
ming east and west.
II viii also expect reasonable time
I'm which to get the necessary plant in
readiness.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSHUA WAKEFIELD"
The communication was placed In the
hands of Health officer Woodward with
instructions to draw up a new coHtTact
with Mr. Warfield to conform to his
and then return the whole
TO the Commissioners for their considera-
ton.

THE MURDER AT MOUNDSvILLE.
A Young Negro Thief Tortured and
Killed the Mason Children.

Killed the Mason Children.
Wheeling, w Va, July 23.-The murder
OF the tv 20 Mason children at Moundsyille
on Tuesiiay has been cleared up by the
confession or Edward Jones, a colored Toy
OF fifteen. He was trapped into misstate
rnent before the coroner's jury, and finally
made full confession
Some W weeks ago Jones stole a halter from
Charles Aliens stable, and Stanley Mason,
the ten year old victim of Tuesdays muir
der. knowing Of 1t told Allen, and Jones had
to give up the halter On Tuesday Jones
went to the Mason horne to take ms re-
yenge. In spirit of pure malice he took
heavy switches and beat Stanley and his
four year-old trOJber, after removing their
clothes, till the blood ran from their bodies
Then he took sharp poCkctknife and stab
ted their bodies till he was tired, and had
made at least one hundred cuts.
To finish his bloody work Jones cut the
boys throats and mashed their skulls
with a briar hoe. Jones told his awful
story with cool bravado, and there is no
doubt OF his mental responsibility
The coroner's jury very wisely sat be-
hind closed doors. and hurried Jones into
the state pententiary, located at Mounds
vile, to avoid the possibility OF lynch
ing, which would surely have taken place
tonight had he been incarcerated In a less
secure place.

TWO YOUNG PERSONS DROWNED.
Their Boats Bottom Dropped Out
just After Leaving shore.

LambertviIle, N. j.. July 23.-Lzzie Car
roi, aged fifteen years, Of Center Bridge,
Pa, and John Leavy, aged eighteen years,
of New Hope, Pa, were drowned at Center
Bridge, four miles above here, yesterday
afternoon. while attempting to cross from
Hendricks Island In the Delaware River,
10 the Pennsylvania shore.
The young lady lived with her parents on
the island, and Leavy had gone over to
bring her across They had just left the
shore when the bottom fell out of the boat
and they were thrown into the water.
The body OF the young man was found
shortly after the accident, but up to the
present time the body of the girl has not
been recovered. A freshet In the river,
owing to the recent heavy rains, renders
the work OF recovery somewhat difficult,
and it is doubtful If the body can be found
this side of tdewater.
