UNABLE TO PAY TAXES.
Condition of Heirs of Late Member of
Fire Department..


Mr.. Alexander H. Bell recently invited
the attention of the Distric: Commissioners
to the unfortunate condition in which the
children of the late Joseph Daniels, MEM
Der of the District fire department, find
themselves. Their father was killed in 1882
while in the line of duty. Shortly after
ward, through the efforts of the department.
a fund was raised for the support of the in
FAINT children of their dead comrade the
fund being invested in the name of Samuel
Bacon, trustee for the children, in lot
IL, square 776. The children took possession
of the property, and several of them still
reside therein. This property was all they
had for their maintenance. They found
life quite struggle, and, although they did
the best they could with their limited
means, they have been unable for some
years to pay the taxes on the property
On behalf of the children of the dead fire.
man, Mr.. Bell asked the Commissioners to
remit the taxes now due on the property
amounting to nearly $3.50, hoping they would
be able to be as generous to the children of
a deceased servant was the public in
1882. The property is assessed for only SS51
and Mr.. Bell doubts if the real value is
much above the assessment
The Commissioners, however, while de-
sirous of assisting the children of the dead
fireman, find they have no authority in law
to remit the taxes, and they regret, there
fore, that they are unable to grant Mr..
Bells request.

THE HACK STANDS.
Hotel Men Submit Proposition to
Comm iss toner's.

Hotel Men Submit n Proposition to
Comm issiOners.
AS was indicated in yesterdays STAR GER
tain of the local hotel men today notified
the District Commissioners that they pro-
pose to solve the question of hack and cab
stands in front of their houses by placing
in front of their respective hotels private
carriages of their own. The Commission
ers recently notified the hotel men, as has
been heretofore explained, that the stands
maintained in front of the hotels would be
abolished, on the ground that unless such
stands were made public ones, open to all
public vehicles, they would amount to the
occupation of public space for private pur-
poses. The hotelkeepers thereupon inquir-
ed whether in the event of placing their
own vehicles on the stands in front of their
respective houses, such thing would be
in violation of law. They We're advised to
submit such a proposition to the Commits
sioners, who promised to lay it before their
attorney, intimating that should they be
advised by him that such a course would
be lawful no objection would be raised in
the matter by the Commissioners. Today
Messrs. Brney and Woodland, attorneys for
the proprietors of the Arlington, Shoreham,
Ebbitt, Riggs, National and Wizards Ho-
tells, advised the Commissioners as follows:
THE hotel proprietors propose, with the
consent and approval of the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia, to keep and
maintain in front of their respective hotels
such number of their own private carriages
and other vehicles may be necessary for
the accommodation of themselves and their
guests, In like manner as other business
houses of the city permitted to the
public streets for business purposes. We
are advised that such use of the streets
and avenues of this city would be lawful.
We take it that no license or special permit
will be necessary to such action upon
parts. However, we desire an expression
Of approval from your board"
1t is understood that the Commissioners
will lay the question before their attorney
for his opinion before acting in the matter.

Imported Negro Miners Fired On
by Strike Sympathizsrs.
NON-UNIOn men REPLY VIGOROUSLY
Six Men Ba1y Wounded; Three
Will Probably Die.
TROOPS MAY BE CALLED OUT

EVANSVILLE, Ind, June 21.-Ths coal
miners strike assumed a serious aspect
this morning. Operators of the Sunny Side
mine had imported thirty negro miners
from Kentucky and were delivering them
at the mine when unknown parties conceal
ed in bushes near the mines opened fire on
the negroes. 1t was very dark, and stam-
Iede followed.
Some of the non-union men responded
with rsvolvers, and many shots were fired.
Six men We're badly wounded. James
Moore, a stockholder in the mine was shot
in the back and is likely to die. Henry
Smith and John Phillips, both colored,
were probably fatally shot. Ed Geiger a
merchant; Charles Smith. coiored, and John
Hcrsweather, coIored, were each badly
wounded.
Shots From Ambush.
The companys plant is located in the
northwestern edge of the city, about a
mile frem the salt wells, and is reached by
a road branching from the right of West
Maryland street. While the vehicle with
the negroes and guards was passing a va
cant lot just before making a turn in the
road to go to the mines, parties on sides
of the road fired in the dark upon the men
in the wagonette. The driver, whipping up
bis horses hurried to the mna. A few min
utes later Patroiman Ruston reached the
scene, and was ilred upon from the bushes.
The shot struck against the back part of
his helmet and he was not injured. Three
other officers reached the place soon after
ward, but they were not tired upon.
Physicians were summoned Immediately
and the wounded men given attention.
James Moore WIGS taken to St. Mary's Hos
pital ana physicians entertain some hopes
for his recovery. Charles Smith, one of
the wounded Eegroes, is considered in a
critical condition. John Phinpps was bet
ter this morning, with hopes for his re-
covery.
imported Men in Hiding.
The Sunny SIDE mine remained closed to-
day, and the imported men We're kept in
hiding. The proprietors refuse to discuss
the affair al all and to divulge any plans.
Fred Dilcher, the national committeeman
of the L. NJ W. A, and State Secretary
Kennedy deny all knowledge of the shoot
ing The authorities seriously consider ap-
pealing to Gov. Mount for troops.

rested yesterday by Detectives Herndon
and Lacy on charge of grand larceny. 1t
is alleged that she stole two diamond rings
worth $500 from Mrs Lydia F. LAWN of No.
A B street southws est, at whose house she
lived.
The defendant told the detectives that she
gave the rings to a colored man in Balti-
more. and the officers went to that city and
saw the man. He denied that he had seen
the rings until he came here and heard
Mary Kennedy's admission Then he adj
United that she gave them to him, and went
back to Baltimore with Detectlvs Herndon

THE HAGUE CONFERENCE.
of Agreement ON an Ar
bitratiOn Project.

Private advices received here from a high
authority are to the effect that the confer
ence at The Hague probably will be re-
deemed nominally from failure through an
agreement on an arbitration project that
will satisfy the apparently general demand
on that point, but which at the same time,
by carefully framed safeguards, will SO mar
row the field of matters that may or must
go before the arbitration tribunal as to
make it little more than arbitration in
name. The attitude of Germany is said to
be only little in advance of that of some
of the other powers after all, in opposition
to the plans submitted, and the disaffection
is more general than appears on the sur
face.
AS fer the other projects that were es-
protection of individual property from seiz-
ure at sea, they have all been irredeemably
lost, according to this report.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Origin of a Famous Phrase and An
Obnoxious Habit.

Going out to see a. man" was the in
vention of Artemus Ward. One night
in the winter of 1865, when the humor-
list was about half through his lecture,
he paralyzed his audience with the
announcement that they would have to
take recess of fifteen minutes so as
to enable him to go across the street
to see a. man" H. r. Tracey, the
editor of the Washington Republican,
was in the audience, and seeing an OPP
portunity to improve upon the joke,
the platform:
Dear Artemus-If you will place
yourself under my guidance I'll take you
to see a man without crossinS the
street."
Artemus accepted the invitation, con-
tinues the Louisville Courier Journal
and while the great audience impatient
ly. but With much amusement, awaited
the temperance of the humorist, the
latter was making the acquaintance of
Aman, a well known restaurant keeper
at that time on Ninth street, and
luXuriating at a well-laden refreshment
board. OF course everybody caught
on to" the phrase, and men became
fond of getting up between acts and
going out to see Aman." The
restaurateur's business from that time
forward doomed. Men who would
ordinarily sit quietly through an enter
tainment and behave themselves al
lowed themselves to, be influenced by
the contagion,

Only Nordica's Husband.
New York Letter.


Nordica's husband, ZoItan Doeme-
graceful, well dressed, wearing lilies of
the valley at the lapel of his coat-was
waiting Wednesday for a challenge to
fight duel. But instead of a challenge
he received a letter written in Hun
garian by Hugo Hunfalvy. Liberallv
translated it was as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Felix Friend: When
you were poor boy in Buda Pesth
you We're glad to accept the hospitality
OF my table in the university, were you
not?
You had not taken a Praenomen
Then. You had not an aristocratfc
hungarian family name. L do not re-
proach You for having adopted Hun
garian names. I would not reproach
you even for being vain of having
hungarian names. 1t is my vanity.
But have an impression that you are
VAIN because you are Nordica's hus-
oand. She is great soprano, but that
confers no merit upon you. She makes
you rich, but that cannot give you the
privilege to be disdainful of me. If
am mistaken l shall be happy to be
disabused."
Zoltan Doeme shrugged his shoulders
held the letter in his hands for an in,
slant, hesitated about tearing it, and
walked up the stairs. He was evidently
disappointed. He was asked what he
would answer. He replied:
"Oh, that is not subject in which
the public has the slightest interest. 1t
is personal and insignificant
In his office at so Broadway, Hugo
Hunfaivy said: L had dined with
Count Paszthory- Bel1erina. the painter.
at the Waldorf-Astoria 1 had said
1t is strange I never meet Nordica's
husband mere. He and I were friends
Bah! said the count, teasinglv:
you do not know him. At least, he does
not know you. There he goes
We followed Nordica's husband into
the billiard room. I went up to him to
snubbed me.
l never thought of challenging him
How can 1 challenge him? He isn't a
parsonage, he isn't an individual. He
is only Nordicas husband"
