THE CLOCK NOW SILENT.
Peace Reigns in the Vicinity of the
Simmer School

The striking clock in the tower OF the
Sumner schoolbuilding at the corner OF
Seventeenth and NJ Streets, has been the
cause of petition and contemplation to
the District Commissioners by the resi-
dents in that vicinity. The bell, which
struck four times an hour throughout the
twenty four, was disturber of the peace
of many, and joy forever for others, and
the arguments of those who are aggrieyed
have been answered by those who are
pleased, and vice versa, until the Commis-
sioners either had to open new bureau
for the reception of complaints, or stop
the clock.
Just as the controversy seemed about
to break into open warfare and disrupt
the neighborhOOd, peace was restored
through the judicial wisdom Of Commits
sioner Ross. He saw an opportunity for a
compromise, and after he had consulted
a clock maker. he was thoroughly con-
yinced that he had solved another problem
in local administration. He had the strik-
ing apparatus deached from the time
keeping mechanism, the noise was stopped
and those who were too poor to buy clocks
as some had claimed, are still supplied with
the time Peace is restored, and Commits
sioner Ross has gained popularity.

SAVED FROM PAUPER's GRAVE
Charles Seigert's Body Inferred in
CONVERSATIONAL Cemetery.

The body of Charles Seigert. the employe
of Wallace Bros. circus, who, died at the
Emergency Hospital on Tuesday morning
as the result of wounds inflicted by a tiger
in the animal tent Monday night, was
given decent burial at Congressional Gem
etery yesterday afternoon at O'Clock.
through the charity of Robert Cook. a we'll
known local insurance man Mr. Coos
called at Undertaken Lees establishment
early yesterday morning and gave orders to
have the body removed from the morgue
and prepared for burial He declined TO
give his name to the undertaken, and stated
that he did not wish to be known in the
matter in any way whatever. Mr.. Cook
then secured a grave site in Congressional
Cemetery, and at 4 o'clock in the after
neon the funeral took place Mr.. Cook ac-
companied the remains to the cemetery.
The police have been trying ever since
tie death of Seigert 10 find out, if possible,
where his relatives are located. They teIe-
graphed 10 Toledo, and Bryan. Ohio TO
Tolleston. Ind, and to the Wallace Shows
at Chester. Pa. but from neither OF these
sources could the slightest information be
CLEANED B. c. Wallace replied to the teIe-
gram sent TO the show people to the effect
that he did not know where the mans rela-
tiyes lived. He had been picked up by the
show at Bryan, Ohio, and further than that
his name was Seigert the circus people
knew nothing whatever OF him or his ante
cedents. Seigert had no papers which would
lead to the discovery Of the whereabouts
of his relatives. II is the impression among
the police that Seigert is not the name or
the dead man. 1t is their belief that he
ran away from home to join the show, and
that he assumed the name.

FREIGHT Is BARRED.
A Legal Opinion Affecting "A Street
Hallway Line.

According to an opinion rendered to the
District Commissioners late yesterday
afternoon by the Assistant Attorney for
the District. Clarence A. Brandenburg. the
Georgetown and Tenleytown Railway Com
pany, which has been absorbed by the
local traction syndicate. cannot haulfreight
over its lines. This ruling is an important
one, inasmuch aS the attorney infers that
most of the other roads OF the city are
deprived of the same privilege there being
exceptions only in cases where Congress
expressly conferred authority to haul
freight
The opinion is a result of request
which the Commissioners recently made for
information as to the right of the company
in question to haul merchandise. one of
the company's freight cars having caused
a collision on the line of the railway on
Saturday. August &c Mr.. Brandenburg
in his opinion, reviews at length the terms
IF the charter of the road and comments
on its several clauses. In the absence in
the act Incorporating the company of any
specific authority TO haul freight. Mr.
Brandenburg holds that the road can cnly
carry passengers.

REINGoLD TAKEN HOME.
He Leaves the Georgetown Hospital
After Many Weeks.


After Many Weeks.
Abraham Reingold. the young Hebrew
who attempted suicide by shooting himself
in the head with 4 revolver in Dead Mans
Hollow, Roslyn, several weeks ago, and
who has been an inmate Of Georgetown
University Hospital ever since. left the in
stituticn yesterday in charge OF his brother.
The injured man was far from well. and
though his condition was much better than
it was three weeks ago, the hospital physi-
clans have little hope that the man win
ever fully recover. They say that Rein
gold still has the bullet in his brain. and
though it is possible that it may be located
later, the probability of such thing is
net great. as two attempts have already
been made in that direction without sue
cess Though Reingold has almost entire
ly recovered the use of his vocal chords
he Is still suffering with paralysis of his
right foot and leg.
The Reingolds. after leaving the hos
pital. went TO the Pennsylvania Railroad
station. where they boarded a train for
New York. where their home is located
1t is probable that the unfortunate youth
will be received as patient at Bellevue
Hospital, as it is understood that it was for
that purpose he was removed to New York.

Yesterday Mr.. Mckinley dispensed with

good wishes and pretty gift that will be

so interesting a social lion though New

a foreign correspondent with a fine eye

another. 1t is made of an exquisite quality
of bla TX silk gauze, elaborately embroid
cred in gold. Both the decol!ete bodice and
long trained skirt glisten with threads of
shining real gold, which are wrought into
a pattern of Florentine iris. The embroid-
cry wild, rs as it nears the lower part of
the skirt until at the hem the skirt is
simmer of gold. With this truly wonder
ful frock Miss Grant, or rather the Prin-
cess Cantacuzene, will wear i gorgeous
Russian gold necklace with pendants of
hand-cut workmanship. In her dark hair
a butterfly of Russian handwrought gold
will futter. This butterfly is like a Zeal
butterfly-as near like it as human artifice
can fashion it. 1t is so delicately con-
trived and so exquisitely put together that
a whisper of air will set its wings shiver-
ing like real butterfly in its flight. 1t
is a marvellous piece of jewelry. Then
