WORKMEN UNEARTH
an historic Spring
Excavation for the Ntw Police
Headquarters Flooded.
Pumps Employed to Reduce the Un-
expected Flow.
supply for the Building In
Course of Erection.

In preparing the ground for the new
Police Headquarters building. the work.
men unearthed an old spring yesterday at
ternoon. The water gushed forth pro-
fusely and 1t was not long before the ex-
oavation around it became a pond. A pow
erfui pump was secured and thfee mea
placed on the brakes. They have besn
working ever since the spring was struck.
but they do not seem to make much head
way. The water flows in as fast al it is
pumped out.
The water is clear and cold and appar-
emily pure. The hole which was made
around it as a catch basin is about ten
feet deep and twenty feet wide. This Is
filled with water and the work OF the men
at the pumps prevents 1t flowing over the
sides of the excavation SO that the force
which Is erecting the iron work of the
first floor Of the building can continue
without interruption.
The spring is one of the most historic
in Washington and is one Of a large num-
ber which are located in and about the
downtown district.
This particular spring at one time sup
piled all Of the business houses o its vi
cinity and most OF the residences with wa
ter. Up to short time ago the N;sional
and st. James Hotels, the Howard House.
and others were using the water. II fell
into di5use. however, and was filled up. 1t
is probable that the water will be used as
a supply for the new building

STREET EXTENSION.
The Com missioners Reply to state
ments by Albert Behrend.

The Com missiOners Reply to state
ments by Albert Behrend.
During the early part OF last May. Al
the District Commissioners when action
would be taken with regard to the exten-
sion OF Eleventh Street northwest. He was
informed that no such action had been
taken but was told that proceedings would
soon be begun for the condemnation Of
ther that the verdict of the jury of con-
demnation would hardly be rendered for
three or four months. No maps had been
prepared and Mr.. Behrend was requested
to forward to the District Engineer De-
partment the number and situation of the
lots owned by him in order that he might
be informed in just what manner his prop
erty would be affected by the improvement.
Several days ago, a second communica-
ton was received from Mr.. Behrend In
which he stated, in addition to furnishing
the numbers of his lots. that some radical
steps ought to be taken for paving Roam
oke and Yale Streets. IS that part of the
city had been neglected for years. On
recommendation OF Engineer Commission
er Beach the Commissioners have replied
to the latter communication, informing
Mr.. Behrend that his assertions relative to
neglect Of Roanoke and Yale Streets is in
correct. "as these streets have been grad
ed and macadamized and many other
works Of Improvement done upon them"
Commissioner Beach denies that the Sec
tion of the city referred to has been neg
lected for years to the advantage OF other
sections.

VENGEANCE OF An
AGGRIEVED SISTER
Why Cornelia Street Faces Her
Brother to the GallOWS.
SAYS He Murdered the Man She
Was to Marry.
On Alexander TESTERS Trail for
Twenty-eight Nears-Smilcd When
the LAW Gripped Him.

Wichita, Kan, June 24.-Mrs. Cornelia
Street is a most unnatural sister, and has
a heart filled with revenge. She has sue
ceeded in having her brother, aged so. put
into Jail here for a murder he committed
nearly thirty years ago. Had she not re-
ported his whereabouts and identity to the
police. Alexander Jester. alias W. II. Hills.
would have died a free and respected man.
As il is he was snatched from death :
bed ard landed in Jail for murder. all on
account of his sister.
Mrs. Street has at last had her revenge.
Now she comes to the Jail door and looks
In at her decrepit brother in his shame.
To an interviewer she said:
1t is my highest ambition to see my
brother brought to his just dues He muir
dered his companion in cold blood and then
robbed his dead body. My brother has al
ways been a villain. Once | was engaged
to a man whom loved dearly. That was
thirty years ago. This man and l were to
have been married within week, but my
brother here learned of the match. He set
about to ruin my life, and did. He killed
that man and forced me to marry friend
of his. For this / resolved to get re-
venge and now l have it at last. Now
will do all in my power TO get him sent to
the gallows."
Sheriff Simmons and his deputies say
Mrs. Street is making no idle talk. They
have given out letter which she wrote
them Saturday last, revealing her broth
er's whereabouts. In this missive Mrs.
Street recites her brothers crime, and tells
them where and how TO find the murderer.
When the officers came TO arrest him the
woman laughed loud and heartily at his
downfall.
Early in 1871, Alexander Jester and Gil
bert w. Gates were travelling overland in
Missouri. That night they camped near
Warrensburg. Jester murdered Gates,
robbed the body. burned it and fed. At
Valley Centre. Kan, he was arrested ten
days later and taken back TO Warrensburg,
tried. convicted, and sentenced 10 be
hanged. While waiting transfer to prison
he escaped. Ii developed later that Gates
was engaged to testers young sister Cor
nelia. He objected to the wedding and
coaxed the young man out and killed him.
The officers spent thousands of dollars
In search, but in vain. Jester had cover
ed his tracks well. Sheriff Simmons and
posse were surprised when they read
Mrs. Streets letter last week. They knew
of Jester well, and sent a man to Shaw
nee at once. There Jester lived in a fine
house. surrounded by wealth. He was the
same man, and when arrested only said:
I've been suspecting this. It's the work
OF that devil sister of mine
The devil sister only smiled and said:
Guess that's right. Just done it so you
would not forget"
The arrest has created a profound sensa-
ton. Jester was respected by ALL and
his sister was unknown She went TO
Shawnee under an assumed name and did
her work.

THE Ross1E PARK WATER TAX.
mmissiOners Refuse Mr.. Browns
Reassessment Proposition.

commissioner Refuse Mr. BrOwn'a
Reassessment Proposition.
The District Commissioners have con-
sidered the proposition Of Chaplin Brown
wherein he offered on behalf Of the owners
of Rossie Park to make no objection to a
water main reassessment against the
ment act of July s, 1898. il the Commits
sioners would agree to quash the present
water main assessment against the park.
Mr.. Brown stated that the owners of the
park did not desire to avoid ultimate pay
ment of the tax upon the property. but that
they did desire to receive the benefit of
that provision of the reassessment law of
1898 which postpones payment until Poto-
mac water is actually introduced and used
upon the premises. He added that he had
instituted a proceeding in certiorari for
the cancellation of the assessment. and be-
lieved the court would sustain the writ.
Investigation by the District Engineer
Department developed the fact that the
water main was laid in the year 1895, and
that il does not come within the decision
rendered in the famous Burgdorf case. and
also that an exactly similar case, that OF
Parsons against the District, was decided
by the Supreme Court of the United States
in favor of the District. The Parsons
property adioined Rossie Park. While Mr.
Brown thinks that the case before the
courts will be decided in his favor the
Commissioners are of the opinion that the
opposite will be the result, and. even if the
case is not decided against Mr.. Brown the
District maintains that the property could
be reasseSsei without any agreement such
as is offered by him. He has accordingly
been informed that the Commissioners do
not feel that they would be justified In
quashing the assessment.
