A TRUST UNDER THE DOME.
The Guides at the Capitol to Pool
Their Earnings.

a new trust has been formed in the
Capitol. The creation of this trust, how
ever. differs from the average one formed
in that historic building. in that it was
formed not in the two legislative halls
but directly under the dome. 1t is a trust
of Capitol guides. The twelve wise men
who heretofore have waged such keen COM
petition in securing the patronage Of the
ever-present sightseer are now working
in peace and harmony under the direction
of a chief selected by vote from their
number. The daily fees are pooled and
then divided equally.
The new plan, which has been in vogue
only short time. is declared to be very
satisfactory. the wonder being that it never
has been tried before.
The charge made by these pilots of the
nations legislative labyrinths is twenty
five cents an hour for each individual in
a party. and since the formation of the
trust there is no cheaper rate. The whole
number of guides allowed are members of
the trust and prosperity seems inevitable.
Colonel Kennedy is the Chauncey NJ. Depew
Of the pool He is not only fine guide
but as well a great after-dinner speaker,
in fact an orator when the occasion re-
quires II was Colonel Kennedy who
conceived the idea of the trust, and he
now sits at the head of the advisory board
af all secret sessions.

District Attorney, ii remains only for me
to say that after having gone personally
over the entire matter it was the honorable
Attorney General himself who advised me
to bring the complaint before him in some
form SO il could receive his official sane
tion. and it has been greatly TO my sur
prise the turn affairs took subsequently,.
As it now stands, the Attorney General
has by no means eXonerated' Mr.. Davis,
as the public prints insist upon, but has in
part sustained him and in part ignored
his offence. The Attorney General sus-
tains Mr.. Davis in Withholding from me
the relief that has been granted to others;
he sustains Mr.. Davis in that a witness
may voluntarily testify before such legal
tribunal as a commission, giving testi-
mony material to the issue, and commit
perjury, and then not be amenable to the
law for the crime simply because his ap-
pearance was not through the compulsiOn
of a subpoena. Finally, the Attorney Gen
eral ignores the fact that Mr.. Davis pub
lished threat to libel me in order to ac-
complish his ends. and that he has har-
bored personal malice against me for pc
riod of several years, and gratities il in an
illegal manner Mr.. Davis threat appeared
in one of the daily newspapers of this city,
so the charge could easily have been sus-
tained.
There are those who may still insist
upon doing me and my family a lasting in
justice, but l weigh my words well when l
say that even all the Audubonian senti-
ment that has been aroused in this case;
all the combined efforts to smother the
truth and dstort the facts; and all the
other means employed, will never be able,
in their entirety. to blot out in history the
great central. infamous. ana totally un-
called for felony that was committed in
the case now under consideration.

RIVER MEN PREDICT
A GREAT FLOOD
Ten Inches of Ice and Snow OH
the Potomac.
Navigation Stopped by the Severe
Weather.
Indications That Warm Wave VIII
Cause an unprecedented and
Destructive Gorge.

Washington is in grave danger OF Sc
rious inundation the like of which has not
been experienced in this city for years.
These who remember the food of 1889 and
what loss of property resulted from the
overflow of the Potomac will be able TO
appreciate the feelings of the people whose
places of business are in the threatened
districts.
The Potomac River is covered with a
coating of ice and snow about 10 inches
thick. and this extends all the way from
the upper river to its mouth in the Chesa-
peake Bay. Only the largest and most
powerful steamers on the river have been
able to make their way through the oh
structions and proceed on their regular
trips, and several of the boats with head
quarters in this city are ice bound in ports
on the lower Potomac.
The steamer Wakefield is tied up at
Lower Cedar Point, and the Harry Randall
will remain at Chapel Point, which is as
far as she was able TO get on her mail
route.
The Norfolk steamers are running but
with great difficulty, consuming twice as
much time in getting over the trip as is
usually the case The sharp prows of these
boats cut through the ice like Il plow thus
enabling the vessels TO continue on their
way when others are compelled to quit
The river men say that when the ice be-
gins to melt there will be such gorge as
has never before obstructed the Potomac
and the city will suffer from an unprece-
dented flood. They say that the indications
are that the ice will break in the course
OF week at the latest, and it will force
the water back into the sewers and through
these great arteries into the streets and
the cellars of the houses. Congress was
asked last week TO appropriate s., ,OOO to
be used in clearing the river of ice, and
thus avoid the expected gorge. Unless this
work is done Immediately 1t will be too
late and much pressure is being brought
to bear TO have the bill passed Immediately
Another inconvenience caused by the
freezing of the river is the cutting off OF
the supply of oysters and fish. These deli
cacies are all brought up the river on the
vessels on which they were originally
caught, and as these cannot reach the city
until the ice breaks Washington will in
all probability, have to face an oyster
famine. There are number OF grades of
oysters that come to the city by other
means, but the vast quantity consumed in
the restaurants and b. the general public
comes from the lower Maryland shores, and
is brought to this city in small dredges.
This supply has been cut off and the
quantity in storage at various points is
rapidly being depleted

Murder to Begin TOdny.

Edward Smith colored, Will today be put
on trial again for the murder of Edmonia
Jackson. 1t will be the third time Smith
has been tried for this crime. The first

District, and from there TO the Supreme
Court OF the United States, upon the de-
cision Of which Smith was granted a new

charged, and the case set for rehearing

ton, who is charged with the murder OF
Mrs. Annie Nicholson, in Nmory Square,
during the latter part of last June. Be
sides Horton, there are six others charged
