ROMANCE IN a LAWSUIT.
of n Rich Man Suing for
Her Dead Fathers Fortune.

Chicago, May lin the superior court
yesterday Mrs. Annie Morcharrasch, wife
of an Anaconda laborer. began plea for
the estate OF the late Henry ". Martin,
valued at 100000. Martin died of apo
plexy May s. 1898. without leaving a will.
The bill says that Martin in 1872 secret
ly married Annie Conrad. a servant in
the Clifton House. A daughter was born.
In less than year her mother died.
Under Mrs B. L. Rees' care the girl,
known as Florence Conrad, grew to wo-
manhood. Henry Martin supplying the
funds for her education and maintenance
Her father visited her every week until
the later years OF his life, and was appa-
rently fond of her. But he continued to
preserve the secret of her parentage so
far as he was able.
Martins father knew the secret. When
the impecunious lover, Felix Morchar-
rasch, appeared, the old mans heart soft
ened.
Don't marry that comman laborer." he
said, according to the story, and l Will
recognize you as my grandchild and the
heiress to my sons estate"
But the girl was true to her penniless
lover and refused the offer. They were
married.

IN Horror OF ROBERT E. LEE.
Enthusiastic Meeting of the Nonu.
ment Association.

At meeting of the Robert E. Lee Mon
ument Association, held last night at the
Shoreham, the greatest enthusiasm was
aroused. Mrs. Florence Vance, President
of the society, presided, with Miss Nina
Stephenson as Secretary. Addresses were
made by Daniel X. Trimmer and Joyce p
Robinson. the donors of the ground on
which the monument is to be built. Judge
John G. Goode paid glowing tribute to
the memory of General Lee, whom, he
said, stood second to none as a military
genius, and who had no superior as a gen.
tleman. Judge Goode told an interesting
story of the career of Lee, from his en-
trance in the Military Academy at West
Point, through the Mexican war to his ac-
ceptance of the command of the Confed-
crate armies. When Robert E. Lee laid
down his arms at Appomatox, he said.
he made no mental reservation in the
oath he took to support the Government,
but was honest and straightforward. His
crowning work was his acceptance of the
Presidency of the Washington and Lee
University.
Other addresses were made by Major J.
Mcdowell Darlington and George II. Cor
ham, and project of the citizens of Fort
Myer Heights was mentioned by W. S.
Mexican, who is doing active work for the
monument. The membership list is grow
ing, and the success of the undertaking is
assured

est sort were freely circulated and as
eagerly believed by the public and officials
who had not at the time become acquaint-
ed with the fuller details. Some enter
prising individual stated that the be-
sieged negro was none other than Dorsey
Foultz, who has successfully eluded the
clutches of the police for more than two
years. Another imaginative person said
that the negro in the old ice-house was as

as many of them were as readily believed.
The sidewalk in front of the District
Building, the corner opposite the Police
Court and the broad plaza in front of the
City Hall Building were centres OF interest,
and people congregated in small groups,
discussing meagre details. The news of
the apprehension of Taylor caused con-
siderable elation and a sigh of relief went
up from every little crowd
Sergeant Pnssnu.
Sergeant Fritz Passau was one of the
most popular men in the Police Depart
ment, and was every inch a gentleman. He
saw good service in the Eighth and Sew
enth precincts and particularly in the way
blages of negroes in some of the George
town camps, as the settlements are called.
Sergeant Passau was born in Germany July
13, 1857. In 1888 he came to Washington.
He was appointed member of the police
force on July 13 of that year. He was
promoted to be a sergeant Of the second
class September /, 1892. He was made
acting sergeant August IT, 1898, and on
September 16 of the same year he became
full sergeant.
All his associates speak of him in the
highest terms, both an an officer and as a
man. and deep regret is felt at his loss.
Much sorrow was felt everywhere on ac-
cornt of the murder of the popular SER
geant, but mostly in Georgetown, where
he was best known, and particularly in the
vicinity of the saddened home at 1711
Thirty third Street. where the bereaved
widow and two little children mourned
the loss of the husband and father.
Major Sylvester feels the loss of the
sergeant almost as much as any and be-
fore leaving his office in the afternoon rec
commended that the widow and children be
granted a pension of $50 per month. To
this the Commissioners agreed.

Tie doubt OF his identity. The discoverers
became satisfied that the murderer was
WITHIN reach and telephoned the informa-
uon to the police. Then they scattered in
all directions looking for aid to capture
the man. leaving no one to watch the
sleeper In the mean time the man awoke
ana found himself confronted by several
coiored persons. who told him that the po-
lice were after him and that he had better
depart. He lost no time in doing so, and
when Sergeant Slattery and the mounted
policemen of the Eighth precinct arrived
the man had fed. The police investigated
the matter and were greatly disappointed
that some one had not remained watching
until help arrived. 1t is understood that
the man assumed such a threatening atti-
tude that his discoverers became fright
ened and fed.
The information that Brown had been
cornered occasioned considerable excite
ment at headquarters. The most expedi-
tious plan of capture was at once put into
effect, and as the point where the mur-
derer had been located was in No. pre-
cinct the police there were at once COM
municated with and given instructions to
proceed Immediately to the barn indl-
Gated. Sergeant Slattery and squad OF
mounted men were at once detailed to e.

Harvard Brown.

Cambridge, Oct. 22,-Brown gave
Harvard hard rub yesterday after
noon and the best the Crimson eleven
could do was to make touchdown in
each half, The Providence lads
played like wild men through the game
and tried their prettiest to score
against and even beat the Crimson.
The features of the. game were the
running Of Richardson, Of Brown, and
the unexpected condition of the Har-
ward line. The latter held every as
sault sent it, and at the end of the
game found themselves so much mas
ters of the situation that the close
formations used by Brown We're prac-
tically useless.
Donald and Lawrence. the Harvard
tackles, were opposed by Hapgood and
Sheehan, the Brown stars, and every
body is wondering what experts have
called Harvard weak and Brown
strong in those positions. Certainly
the Brown pair were outclassed al
every point and at the end of the game
they were badly used up, while the
Harvard pair We're fresh as daisies.

,,,rode,nbia Oct. 22.-The University
OF Pennsylvania foot ball team 80.
another defeat to Its RECORD ol tne
A., hoino beaten G to 0 by Lafayette on
FRANKLIN field yesterday. Lafayette ls
>,erv stronr and this year has the best
of the many elevens that have repre-
sented tho Easton college. This, how
ever. is no excuse for the team OF Dig
university like Pennsylvania to fall be-
fore IL. The Quakers today seemed to
no absolutely ignorant of the rudimentS
of foot ball.
Poor Judgment was used in giving
signals. and when n play was made the
men either did not know or were un-
willing to get in the proper place. Con-
seuuently, the runner was felled with
out material gain. That is the whole
story of today's game. Lafayette on
the other hand knew the positions bet
ter. and had team play down to very
fair degree OF perfection.
The game was won in the very first
fifteen seconds of play. Hare Kicked
off to Lafayette's 15-yard line, where
Bray caught the ball and ran 95 yards
straight down the centre of the field
for a touchdown. 1t was grand eff
fort, and the like of which has been
seldom, II ever seen. 1t is an effort that
the Lafayette men will admit they
could not do once in a hundred times,
for every man on the entire team got
into the interference quickly and at the
right place. and bowled over one after
another the Quaker team. When Bray
crossed the goal line he had Brown
and Chalmers still with him. He kicked
the goal. Lafayette never again even
menaced the Pennsylvania goal line.
Most of the play in the first half was
between Lafayettes 20 yard line and
midfield
In the second half the play was even
more in Lafayette's territory, and once
on a series of line plunges the ball was
worked to within eight yards of the
Lafayette goal, but Hare foolishly fail
ing to vary his play, Lafayette knew
just where to look for the runner and
got the ball on four downs. Once again
in this half Pennsylvania was close up
and apparently within easy scoring
distance, but for the same reason as
before could not get the ball across the
line and reverted to a quarterback kicl
which merely resulted for a touch-in
goal for the Eastonians. Summary:

compact interferenence force back
Cornelrs heavier line, while in end
runs they outplayed Cornell at every
attempt. Cornell's greatest fault was
in the looseness Of her interference
with the result that the back were

line.
Cornells only touchdown was made
on a tumble by James. after which
Folger caught the ball and sprinted
twenty-five yards across the line. Lc-

WAS FAIR AND ONStANh'
This closes what many OF the COM
peting architects have declared in their
correspondence with the trustees to
have been the fairest and squarest
open competition they had ever entered.
The fact that many of the best known
firms in Chicago, New York, Philadel-
phia and other cities were competitors
speaks well for the attractiveness. IL
Is to be regretted that so few of the
Scranton architects entered the COM
petition. The trustees were anxious that
a home man should get the prize. and
1t was thought that their better knowl-
edge of local conditions would have
given them an advantage. 1t was
distinct disappointment to those pres
ent when the result of Prof. Hamlin's 8
award showed no Scranton names.
Mr.. Davis, the successful architect,
will come to Scranton to consult with
the trustees as to certain minor changes
in the details Of his plan, after which
as soon as possible, Illustrations OF the
plan will be made public, and the work
of getting out complete drawings and
specifications will proceed as rapidly
as possible.
The written report of the examiner
