Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HYATTSVIL1E, ma, July 20. 1893.
Several representatives of the Columbia
and Maryland Railway Company were here
yesterday seeking to adjust some difficult
ties touching the right Of way between
Hyattsville and Branchville. Work will be
resumed on the road at once. The road
is now being operated from Washington
to point near Rives station. From this
terminus to Hyattsville. distance of
about two miles, the roadbed is built, and
beyond Hyattsville for a considerable dis
lance the tracks are laid.
The clay-pigeon shoot held here yester-
day afternoon. under the auspices of the
Hyattsville Gun Club. was largely attend
ed. Owing to the informal nature Of the
match, no official score was kept. The
shooting, however, gave promise Of some
crack shots.
The slot weighing machine upon the sta
ton platform was robbed last night by
unknown parties, and considerable small
change secured by the thieves. The ma
chine was carried about $50 yards from
the station to the front porch of an old
warehouse and there broken open. There
is no clue to the thieves.

LELAND STANFORD ESTATE.
An Order Settling Final Account
of the Executrix.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2S-Judge
Coffey made an order to-day settling
the final account of Jane Lathrop Stan
ford as executrix of the estate of her
deceased husband, Leland Stanford.
An accompanying order directs distri-
button of the residue Of the estate. The
sum of $260,000 is to be retained, how
ever, pending a decision by the Su-
preme Court as to the legality Of the
collateral inheritance tax. Should the
tax be sustained, the amount withheld
from distribution will go into the public
treasury.
Mrs Jane L. Stanford testified that
she had paid in full the So, 115 900 in
legacies provided for in the will of her
late husband, Senator Leland Stanford,
with the exception of $4,000 which is
in dispute, and this she has deposited
with the Union Trust Company, sub
ject to the order of the Supreme Court,
so she asked for final distribution of
the estate.
Of the $23OOO0 mentioned by Mrs.
Stanford, $4,000 is claimed by the
city of San Francisco and the State of
California for collateral inheritance tax.
The tax was paid under protest, and
Oh appeal 70 lHe oupI6LlS COuIt l1dl
tribunal declared the tax illegal, but a
rehearing has been granted, and the
matter is to be argued again next
month.
Mrs. Stanford informed the court
that she had examined all the vouch-
ers of the estate, and found them cor
rect. The estate is reported to be in
good condition, and in every way ready
for distribution; that there is on hand
$322, 327 in cash.

IN CARE OF A BLUECOAT.
How a Lone Woman Found
Friend in a Policeman.

1t is a favorite retort to suggest to
one who is boring you with his woes
that he go and tell a policeman The
police are as a rule unknown quanti-
ties. Some denounce them as brutal
and discourteous, and others make them
out to be gentle and obliging This is
PROBABLY because in policemen, as in
every other class of men, there are
varying types. Without trying to ex-
plain this problem, the following little
incident is told to cite just one case of
what policeman did when a woman
went to him with her troubles.
1t was the opening night at the Irving
Place Theater last week. In the audi
ence were a man and his wife. This
man is particularly busy man, and
much of his work is done at night In
this instance he had taken his wife to
the theater because she was anxious to
see the piece, although he was unable
to stay through the performance He
arranged with her that he would leave
her there at $50 and return for her at
IL o'clock, naturally supposing that
would be the closing time. Then he
went away. The woman's dismay may
be imagined when at 1920 the play
came to an end, the audience passed
out, the ushers closed and locked the
doors and she found herself in the
street.
It is not pleasant for woman to find
herself at Fourteenth street and Irving
Place, near Tammany Hall and across
from the Dewey Theater, at 10 o'clock
at night and alone. This woman didn't
know what it was best to do, but hav-
ing plenty Of courage and remembering
some instructions she had once re-
ceived, she looked around for police
man. She saw big, burly bluecoat
across the street leaning against the
billboard in front OF the Academy of
Music. She marched over, walked up
to him and explained her case. Her lip
was quivering as she finished, for 1t
was trying position. The big police
man Strengthened himself up and said
cheerily: Bless your heart, little wo-
man, don't you feel bad about that.
Why, Lord love you, lots of women find
themselves in scrapes like that. Now,
I'll tell you just what to do You come
inside the Academy and see Sporting
Life and I'll stand outside here and
watch for your husband and tell him
where you are
The woman demurred; said he might
miss her husband; she would wait with
the policeman; but the policeman said
stoutly:
Now, if you are in my hands you
obey orders. You just go inside and
will watch out here Your husband
won't get away. I will spot him the
minute he comes up" With this he
marched her up to the door, waved his
hand to the doortender and said gravely
Friend of mine" This "open sesame"
was all that was needed, and she passed
into the warm theater and took a seat
in the last row. In a few minutes the
policeman came in, and he was highly
indignant over the seat she had Sc
cured. He called up an usher and gave
him fits, and told him to take his
friend" down in front. The woman
protested, and was finally allowed to
retain her seat

SPANS MOURNING LAMP.
a Lugubrious Reminder OF the Re-
suit of the War;

AS means of paying off the wal
debt, which is claimed to be 1000
100000 pesetas ($400O00,00O), the
Spanish Government has issued a
stamp of mourning, which is to be used
on all the inland mail of Spain and her
colonies. The stamp, which is of the
denomination of 5-cent pesetas q
cent?, is printed in somber black, and
must be affixed to all mail matter in
addition to the regular postage stamp.
It is of ordinary size, with the in
scriptions "Impto. de Guerra and
"1S9S-99' at the top and bottom, re-
spectively. The figure %" and cent
appear in the center in a vertical oval,
with scrollwork at the Sides The Gov
ernment has occasionally issued stamps
of this character, the use of which was
voluntary, but not so with this one.
Every piece Of mail matter for inland
delivery must bear a mourning stamp,
otherwise it doesn't go. 1t is a greater
tax for the Spanish people than it
would be for Americans. for in Spain
they have been taxed year in and year
out, and the continual drain is having
it's inevitable result The mourning
stamp has presumably been issued as
sympathetic appeal to the people for
the many lives lost in the late con-
fiict
The mourning stamp is not the only
label issued by Spain since that coun-
try met the United States in battle A
short time ago four distinct stamps
were issued by the Madrid Government
in it's endeavor to meet the running
expenses Of the war. Two black
stamps of the denomination of five
cent de pesetas made their appearance
recently, but did not accomplish the
desired results. They were simply OBJ
ligatory taxes, and naturally were
looked upon with anything but favor
by the populace. Two other voluntary
tax stamps, pink and blue in color the
latter having been issued by the city
of Madrid, were authorized at the same
time as the two above, making five
distinct stamps in the last few months,
all of which show to what extent the
Government has been forced to raise
money. Nor have any of these efforts
been crowned with success. 1t is stated
as an actual fact that they have re-
suited in utter failures, the number of
letters posted at the Madrid Office hav-
ing fallen off fully one-third since the
recent taxes were levied.
Raising money by stamp taxes is a
different matter in Spain from what it
is in the United States. Indeed, were
Spain to enjoy the revenue that is
being derived in this country from the
war revenue bill, it would not take q
great while to square her account with
the world. But Spain lacks the people,
tho wet commercial antarnrfCpS and
the business interests generally, where

BISHOP IN TRAMP'S RAGS.
How Rt. Rev. DR.. Coleman of Della
ware Spent His Vacation.

Travelling incognito go miles in the
mountains of West Virginia, sleeping
in barns and a schoolhouse, mending
clocks and umbrellas for farmers, and
arousing the pity of the country folks
was the way the Right Rev. Leighton
Coleman, Episcopal Bishop of the do
cese of Delaware, spent his annual va
cation. The Bishop returned about mid
night, coming by train from Harper's
Ferry, w. Va He greatly enjoyed his
outing, and after a few hours sleep
resumed his duties in Wilmington to-
day officiating at the cornerstone laying
of the Girls Industrial School Of Della
ware.
The Bishop left Wilmington for his
outing two weeks ago, going to Mar
tinsburg, w Va. Then his tramp into
the mountains began. He crossed the
Blue Mountains several times, attended
court at Grafton, w. Va, and at Tun-
nelsville, w. Va, was at political
meeting being addressed by a candi-
date for Congress. The stranger was
invited to make a speech, but the
Bishop never takes part in politics.
Bishop Coleman on his tramp wore a
slouch hat, heavy shoes, long mackin-
tosh and carried a staff. He travelled
in all sorts of weather over all kinds
of roads. Frequently as he was trudg-
ing along the road some kindhearted
farmer would stop his team and call
to the pedestrian to Jump aboard re-
marking, you are too old to walk. !"
And the farmer would be amazed when
his invitation was declined. Others
would stare at him and he could over
hear remarks; TITS q pity that he has
to walk I wish l could help him"
The Bishop is an adept at clock re-
pairing Most of his nights were spent
at farmhouses where the Bishop US
ually paid for nights lodging. But
sometimes the farmers would refuse to
take pay. Then the Bishop would spy
a clock that was not running, and he
would quickly repair it, to the delight
Of his hosts. Others would have broken
umbrellas, which the Bishop would
mend, and he did all sort of tinkering
jobs about the farms. Some dark
nights, however, the Bishop was not so
lucky in getting good bed in farm
er's house in which to sleep.
At one PLACE where he knocked for
admission he was Informed that the
house was full and he could not sleep
even on the floor. SO the Bishop jour-
neyed until he came to a dilapidated
looking barn. Into this he crept and of
new hay he made bed on which he
slept during the night, the crickets
singing him into the land of dreams.
Another night the Bishop had bad
luck, and he did not know where to
sleep. He however, fortunately, came
upon q schoolhouse on a lonely road.
The janitor had left the back window
open, and in through the window the
Bishop climbed. He slept for the night
on the hard wooden floor. At one place
where he stopped the family consisted
of a. father, mother and six grown chill
dren, none of whom could read or write.
The parents said they were too poor
to pay for the clothes of their children.

day was twenty-six miles, but the av-
erage was about twenty miles.-Phila-

in the case came along, and was sur
prised to see that the theater was

and, not seeing her. was at loss what
to do, when a big policeman accosted
him and said humorously, Lost any
thing?"
The man explained that he was look
ing for his wife. The policeman said
cheerfully, well, I've got her" The
man wanted to know what for, but the
policeman only laughed and took him
across the street to the Academy of
Music. Here he called his friend" out,
and the case was explained. The po-
liceman seemed to enjoy the joke as
much as any one, and when he was
heartily thanked he said brusquely:

Quart TS Sfer General Of Volunteers Hill
Questioned on the Subject.
One of the Meat Companies Fur
nishing Beef to BE Given a
Hearing-Probab1e That Com
missary General Eagan, and
Generals Miles and Shafter
Will BE Recalled.

WASHINGTON Dec. 2S.-Wiiham
w. Hill, Assistant Secretary of the
War Investigating Commission, and
who served in Company L, District of
Columbia Volunteers as Quartermaster
General, was the only witness before
the commission to-day.
Colonel DENLY, who presided, ques-
toned the witness regarding the moot
ed question of the canned beef fur
niShed the volunteers. Mr.. Hill dis
countenanced the complaints made by
the men. He said they came from
those who would complain against any
thing. He said the health of the COM
pany was excellent at Tampa, and he
credited it largely to the free use of
lemonade. The canned beef first fur
nished the men, he said, was lean, dry
and hard, lacking nutrition, though
later it was considerably improved. He
believed the canned beef, which he ex-
planned was canned just after being
boiled, was perfectly fit to eat, +"
though once in while he would re-
ceive a can that was spoiled and
smelled badly.
The witness stated that there was no
way of protecting the beef from the
direct rays of the sun. He said they
had to get it into the pots as soon as
possible to keep it from spelling before
it got hot.
rs it your opinion" witness was
asked, that beef so protected would
keep seventy-two hours?"
In it's raw state?"
Yes, mean just as it comes from
the ship"
NO sir" was the reply. ST don't
believe it possible"
This referred to a portion of General
Miles testimony denouncing the beef.
Summing up, witness said he had no
complaints of any sort to make, and
the worst feature of the food was the
moistness of the packers.
1t is probable that no witness will
appear tomorrow
The War Investigating Commission
has notified the Swift Beef Company
of Chicago, which had large contracts
for furnishing beef to the army during
the war, that it will be glad to give a
hearing to any representative they
may send on January 4th next. This
grows out of the testimony of General
Miles regarding the refrigerated and
canned beef furnished his expedition,
and the telegraphic protest his state
ments called out from the company.
1t is very probable that the commits
sion will recall Commissary General
Eagan and General Shafter, and pos
sibly General Miles.
