1U sDAY EVENING. AUG 3. 1877.
DIED IN THE AIN HOUSE.


Mis- Marie L. Reynolds died Sunday
at the Washington Almshouse, either
a vic i'm of self destruction or from
inadvertently par,aking OF an over
dose of whisky and laudanum.
There is a strong suspicion, however,
that her death was intentional, Tor a
letter that she recently wrote Indicated
that she then contemplated suicide.
When a young and preposeessine
woman Mrs. Reynolds became the vile
of Pay master Edward NJ. Hart. U. ,
\. After his death, several years ago,
She married man named Reynolds,
who is believed to be living III Wash
ineton at present. Alter they had
lived together some tins domestic
troubles brought about separation,
and Mrs. Reynolds endeavored to sup
mort herself. she had poor success ID
this effort and was forced 10 make nei
home for long time at the Woual' :
Christian Home, aud then at the WASH
iugton Asylum Hospital, aud finally,
June IS, was admitted TO the alms-
house
On July 80 she was permitted 10
leave the building and when she re
turned at night she was under the IN
fuence of liquor and laudanum. she
had an empty S ounce bottle that LAD
contained whisky and smaller Vial
that had been full OF laudaDum III her
possession. She became very Ill aud
on Sunday died.
About two weeks ago Mrs. Reynolds
called at the State, War and Navy
building aud applied for work SIT
told the officials TIA. her first husband
was Pavmaster Hart and she was re-
felred to Secretary Long. When he
heard her story he said he would NY
and help her and referred her to the
superintendent, who also promised 10
help her.
Mrs. Reynolds went away aud an in
vestigation was made by the Navy De-
partment 10 ascertain if her story was
deserving aid. Major Moore, chief OF
police, was requested to look up the
womans history, and he reported that
she bad been no doubt the widow oi
Paymaster Hart. 1t was also reported
bv w. II. Stoutenburgh that she was
probably addicted to stimu'anis
A few days before her death she
wrote to an official at the State, War
and Navy building as follows:

THE INTERVIEW A FALsEHoOD.
Patrick Mcdonald So Characterizes "A
Sentinel Article. .s

Yesterday the Sentinel had under 'scare"
headlines a weird interview with one Pat
rick Mcdonald, accusing Mr.. Harding of
being practically a partner with Mcdonald
in making investments for poor people on
the Chicago Board of Trade and being in
terested with him in a projected gas COM
pany. This was too much and Mcdonald
had the following to say to the afternoon
Taggart organ:
THE Sentinel representative came up
here yesterday afternoon and said ne want
ed to invest some money. answered: On,
no, Mr.. Brown, m on to you newspaper
men He then told me frankly that he was
after Mr.. Harding and not me, and that
he would do me no harm. answered that
/ would not agree to that either, and that
I had nothing to say to do MIR. Harding
harm. / deny absolutely having said those
things attributed to me in the interview.
l did give him circular, which l give to
everyone. He was in here with me not
more than three or four minutes and he
spent his time in trying to get me to say
something which / refused to say.
NOW, here's a beautiful thing to quote
me as saying: I am doing as legitimate
as k9fey W Wn0 rs fbaf be-
bright speech to come from any one but a
fool. l deny that either he or mentioned
Kinsey's name. L deny that he asked me
If | was doing a business similar to that
of Sam Kellar & Co. or E. S. Dean Com
pany 1 deny that either he or l mentioned
their names at all i ueny lndL L Sdl1,- MI
Harding understands all about it, for l
have. explained things TO him Mr.. Hard
ing does not understand all about 1t, I'M
less his partner Mr.. Hovey, tells him.
MIR. Harding has been up here lots OF
times, but not on business connected with
the gas company. He explained, when 1
first spoke to him about being the attorney
for the company, that he could not very
well attend to it, as he was to be can
didate for mayor. He said that Mr.. Hovey
could act, however. Harding looks after
my other legal business, sees whether the
papers connected with my loans, ETC., are
in proper legal form.
"It is true that Mr.. Hovey signs the firm
name, but l guess they can't help that.
/ denv that l told him that / had lent
$3.50 yesterday. ] lent many times that
amount You saw how much LNuth there
was i'm the Sentinels alleged intofriew with
Harding the other day. This interview
with me is of the same kind. That man
came up here, talked three or four min
utes, then went back and manufactured
this stuff I am here running a legitimate
business. Some of those things printed this
morning are libelous and my friends are
advising me to proceed against the news

AUTUMN DIVORCE RUSH
ONE CASE RECALLS A SOMEWHAT
NOTED GREE LOVE" AFFAIR.
Had Entered Into a Common
Law Marriage.

Another suit for divorce growing out of
the escapade year ago Of Marion Hender-
shot and Mrs. Augusta House, both of
whom claimed they were believers in the
doctrine of free love-" was filed in the
Superior Court yesterday. During the early
part of the summer Elitha House got a d.
vorce from his wife, Augusta. The plain
tiff in the present suit is Marion Hender-
shot, who seeks a legal separation from
Annie NJ Henderson,. The Memberships
were married in 1869. Henderson,, as
grounds for separation, alleges that his
wife has been cross and sour with him and
has opposed him in many ways.
Mollie McInery asks for a divorce from
Michael McInery and the restoration of her
maiden name, Mollie Yates, She says she
was married to the defendant in 1886. She
charges that he knocked her down, kicked
her and accused her of immortality, which
charge, she AYERS, was unwarranted. The
defendant is employed by the Consumers
Gas Company. Alimony in the sum of $500
is demanded.
Carrie r. Storaci, in a suit for divorce,
complains of Robert Storaci, to whom she
was married in, 1898. She says Storaci de-
serted her in December, 1886 While he
lived with her he practced cruelty upon
her. She says he struck her and threat
ened her life and ofttimes remained out at
night. She's AYERS she was frequently COM
PEELED to so to her noighbors and beg fuel
to keep from freezing
In complaint for divorce Lulu Burrus
sets up the fact that she was married to
James Burrus in Christian county, Ken
lucky, in 1887, and they separated in 1892.
She charges that he compelled her to work
in the fields from morning till night, doing
hard manual labor She. also makes the
charge that he made her live with his
mother who tainted and haraSSed her.
Emma b. Higgins brings suit for divorce
against George b. Higgins who is an in
mate of the Central Insane Hospital Mrs.
Higgins says she was married to her hus-
band in 1889. She charges that while they
lived together he was ill natured and
abusive in his conduct toward her. He was
jealous of her and slandered her good name
without cause accusing her OF immoral
acts, it is claimed. She says he threatened
to kill her and kept her and her child in
almost constant terror. She declares he
brought his present condition upon himself.

VALIDITY OFF PARK LAW.
Some Interesting Rumors as to What
the Administration Knew.

Some Interesting RumOrs as to What
the Administration Knew.
There is a rumor to the effect that it was
known TO the city administration long be-
fore the 900 of park money was Dor
roWed that the park law was invalid and
would not stand if passed upon by the
Supreme Court, or al any rate that there
were very serious doubts of it. This is de-
MED by the administration. Well-known
LAWYERS say that if it was not known to the
administration it ought to have been
known, considering the great array of legal
talent that was employed about the time
the bonds were sold. A question was raised
as to the Councils right to limit $4,000 of
the borrowed money to employing labor.
Controller Johnson deemed this point of
such Importance as to write to a prominent
legal firm in the East that passes on all
sorts of bond issues, and whose opinion is
regarded as sufficient by stock brokers the
country over The firm held that the Coun-
Gil had probably exceeded its authority, but
that any defect In this particular would
be remedied if the Park Board would ratify
the Councils action BY resolution. This was
done. The firm was evidently not asked for
an opinion TO the validity of the law
itself, an important thing 10 consider when
q debt of 500 900 was being created. How
ever, James b. Curtis, city attorney and
Korbly & Smith. employed as special coun-
sci by the Park Board. were supposed TO
see that everything proceeded regularly.
one story is that 1t vas known to the
administration months before the appro-
priation was made by the Council that the
law was probably invalid, but the admin
istration kept il secret. hoping the fact
would not be discovered and that the board
could go along the plan IL had already
outlined without any one ever knowing
that the law was unconstitutional. lt
seems strange, attorneys say, that
with all the legal advice the Park
board had the glaring defects In the law
should not be discovered by some one con-
nected with the administration. II Is said
that If no one had examined the law itself
there was palpable neglect somewhere. As
soon as people began complaining about the
assessments that were about 10 be levied
upon them and consulted lawyers, it was
but a short time until many things were
found in the act. the cOnsututiOnality of
which might be at least questioned. Sew
eral prominent lawyers say that II the adj
ministratiOn did not know OF the defects
in the law il ought 20 have known OF them.
or ought TO have inquired whether Il We're
possible for any questions 10 be raised be-
fore going ahead and creating debt OF
S250000 one man said the first casual read
ing of the act convinced him that IL would
not stand the test of the supreme Court
decision.
The theory that the administration knew
the consttutiouality of the park law might
be at least in doubt and concealed that fact
is not consistent with the course that was
pursued. II was not until after many COM
plants from property holders arose against
about carrying on the park scheme As
