The indications are that the citizens of
Anaeostia will not enjoy the benefit of a
free delivery service this year. The re-
port of the inspector who was detailed last
week to investigate the subject was receiy-
ed this morning by Mr.. Machen, superfn-
tendent of the free delivery service.
The inspector reports that the demand
for free delivery is by no means general.
He says that II the appropriation for this
hscal year for the establishment of free
delivery Is sufficient for all purposes. then
the Anacostia postoffice could very well be
abolished and the office made branch OF
the Washington Office, thus giving the
citizens of Anaeostia free delivery: but II
other cities that are entitled to free de-
livery are to suffer, then no harm will be
zone by letting Anacostia wait for another
year. The inspector also reported that to
abolish. or, rather, to consolidate. the Ana
costa Office with the Washington Office
would work. a hardship on the citizens who
live betwean Anacostia and New Hope and
Congress Heights Those citizens, the in
spector pointed out. would be forced to
come all the way to Washington for their
mail.
Another point made by the inspector was
this: The houses in Anacostia, II free de-
livery is to be established, must be prop
erly numbered. under the supervision of
the District Commissioners.
1t depends entirely upon the Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General whether or not
the Anacostia postoffice is to be abolished
and made station of the Washington Of

OIL ON COUNTRY ROADS.

be sprinkIed on the country roads here
abouts for the purpose of shedding water
and in the hope that a cheap substitute
for paving may be found Major NJ. Meigs.
United States civil engineer at Keokuk.
Iowa, stands sponsor for the idea, and the
Standard Oil Company has been asked for
sufficient oil to make the experiment
IL is claimed for the crude oil applica-
ton that road so treated sheds water like
ducks back Major Meigs admits the
impracticability of the oil on paved streets.
He admits that it is Objectionable on ae-
count of the odor, and the damage il will
do TO the rubber tires of bicycles and We
hicles
The method of applying the oil is ex-
planned by Major Meigs as follows... To get
the best effects from the use 6f the Oil
the roadbed should be carefully graded
and crowned, to make the water flow of
rapidly There is no machine so good for
this as the ordinary road grader. In my
opinion, it would be we'll to run a har-
row over the roadbed. so as to cause the
oil to penetrate more deeply and quickly
Follow the harrow with some form OF
sprinkler that will distribute the oil in a
thin stream all over the road. The oil
will not soak in at once. and ought to be
followed by a roller to consolidate the
surface and drive the oil into the ground
three to six ton roller would be best in
ordinary cases

TELEGRAPHED HER CONSENT.
Wealthy Atlanta Girl Weds in a
Pretty Long Island Chapel.

Pretty Long Island Chapel.
Atlanta, Ga, July 3.-Surprise has been
caused in this city by the announcement
of the marriage last Friday in Southamp-
ton, L. l., of Miss Elizabeth Leontine CHS
city.
The bride is said to be the wealthiest
young woman in Georgia She is popular
and prominent in Atlanta society She is
the only heir of Willis Chisholm. one of
the earliest settler of Atlanta, who was
immensely wealthy. his holdings consist
ing of centrally located Atlanta property,
from which the young woman has received
a large income for fiften years, since her
fathers death.
Mr.. Andrews is native of Monroe, n.
c., and is twenty-eight years old, and was
admitted TO the bar five years ago. He is
protege of former Secretary Hoke Smith,
and was at one time clerk in Mr.. Smith S
office.
Miss Chisholm left Atlanta one month
ago for Southampton to visit Mrs. g. v.
Goodwin, formerly her guardian. Up to
that time she had not promised her hand
to Mr.. Andrews, although he had been
suitor for two years. After two weeks
correspondence she telegraphed Mr. An
idrews that she would become his bride
He went to Southampton few days ago.
where the details of the wedding were
planned. Rev. DR.. Henry Mcdonald, who
performed the ceremony, is pastor of the
Second Baptist Church of Atlanta, of
which Mrs. Andrews is member. It is
said that a pretty chapel in Southampton
played no small part in influencing the
young woman to the marriage. The story
is that she greatly admired the chapel and
decided that it would be an ideal place for
wedding.

A DELIVERY BOYS ADVANCE.
Young MIR. BOstwick's Quick Stride
to purtnershiD,

New York, July 3.-Albert c. Bostwick IS
only twenty-five years old, but notwith-
standing that he has set an example to
young men in the matter of climbing the
business ladder. Six months ago he was
a delivery boy for the stock brokerage
firm of Walter c. Stokes & Co., at 66
Broadway, and on August ! he will be q
special partner of his present employers.
The partnership will cost young Mr.. Bost-
wick in the neighborhood of 800. 900.
OF course, Mr.. Bostwick had advantages.
One of these, and by no means the least,
is that his father, John A. Bostwick, is
millionaire several times over. Albert c..
Bostwick married Miss Marie L. Stokes, a
daughter OF Henry b. Stokes, president OF
the Manhattan Life Insurance Company.
IN June 1898. He had never known busi
ness cares and did not take them up until
last December, when he obtained the po-
sition of delivery boy. He is member Of
the Meadow Brook hunt and the Meadow
Brook Club. 1t was his 600 four-in
hand, Lady Ursula, Lady Flavia, Lord
CHUNKY. and Lord Chester. that was
awarded the blue ribbon at the Horse
Show in November, 1898. In addition to
his splendid horses. Mr.. Bostwick owns
an automobile. the first, or one of the
first, used in this city.
The evening times., 1899-07-03

Vienna, July 3.-What is regarded as
the most remarkable case in criminal his
tory has occurred in Zesbeley, in Southern
Hungary. sSs
Twelve women and two men are on
trial before the district colonial court CT
Temesvar all charged with having muir
dered their respective husbands, wives
and sweethearts with arsenic, the main
instigator of all the crimes being George
Korin, a Zesbely druggist.
The most sensational feature of this
wholesale murder trial Is the attempt OF
the prosecution to convict DR.. Johann
Mayer, the village physician. of being the
principal accomplice of the druggist. The
evidence has already shown that Dr.
Mayer issued in number OF cases certi-
ficates of death by natural causes" while
died of poisoning.
It is believed here that despite the fact
that 120 witnesses have been summoned,
the trial will be ended in a day or two.
and that, with the customary swiftness of
justice in that part of Huugary, all tie
accused persons will be put TO death be-
fore the end of the week.
George Korin, the alleged inciter of all
these crimes is a unique character. His
village apothecary shop was the meeting
place of all the social gossipers of the dis
trict. korin knew the family secrets OF
all and peasant women principally were
his dupes. He understood how to tempt
the young peasant wife, who cared little
for and always quarreled with her penu-
rious husband, to see that he had his life
- hi k,,
the most summary and unsuspecting man
ner.
Where Korin knew that a peasant wo-
man was sustaining clandeStine relations
with lover he gradually obtained her
confidence, and for a consideration taught
her how to use arsenic with which to de-
stroy her husband.
The village cemetery of Zesbeley would
have become more densely populated were
il not for anonymous communications sent
from time 10 time during the past year to
the authorities at Temesyar by some one
who evidently had grudge against Korin,
the druggist At first no heed was paid TO
the information, but when some months ago
it was learned that Frau Lisa Triku, q
yeritable female Biuebeard, had buried her
fourth husband, whom she had married but
short time ago, an investigation was
made with the result that sixteen bodies
were exhumed and sent TO the office OF the
state chemist at Budapest.
The bodies were indicated in one of the
anonymous letters. All were found 10 con-
tain arsenic Of sufficient quantity TO kill
two men.
Two OF the murderesses have committed
suicide in prison. They are jeanette Gasa
aged twenty, and Icenia DiminetZku, a
beautiful young woman. Each left tull
confession. duplicating George Korin.
Korin is not only accused of having in
stigated fourteen murders, but OF having
poisoned his wife also, in order TO secure
the insurance on her life and property.
DIR. Johann Mayer is also accused of hay-
ing killed one sweetheart in order 20 Sc
cure another.

MINERS BECOME cANNIBALs.
Details of SunerinEs in the AtHn
District of Aiaska.

Portland, Greg, July S-The recent sto-
" Of cannabalism which came from the
AtIin district of Alaska is confirmed, and
horrible details are added by a letter re-
ceived Saturday by Capt. Hans Venson,
from Mojonino, in the Kotzebue Sound
country.
The writer was Olof Jorgenson. who.
with two other Swedish sailors, Peter Mar
tin and August Alsen, and twenty others,
went to the Kot1ebue country in Septem-
ber from Seattle. All were well supplied
with furs and had years outfit, but it is
scarcely probable that more than one OF
these men is now alive.
The letter to Venson enclosed one to
Jorgenson's mother, in Stockholm,
which Martin is some way succeeded in
mailing at St Michael, where he is now
at the point of death, unable to give an
account of what he and his fellows suffer-
ed.
Jorgenson's letter to his mother must
have been written several days before he
pened his note to Venson, as 1t is more
lucid. II was written in Swedish and was
translated here today. 1t is a rather long
letter, saying at the outset:
when YOU receive this, my dear moth
er, / shall no longer be on earth. All but
three out of our party are dead in coun-
try that indeed must be the material hell.
/ will not go into the details of the suf-
ferings myself and mates have undergone"
After explaining how ne and part of his
party separated from the rest and began
prospecting on their own hook with dogs
and sledges he told how they got lost in
December. The greater part of their pro-
visions were stolen by wild beasts, and by
January they had nothing left but a few
sides of bacon.
Hunger soon stalked among u.s." con-
tinued Jorgenson, tand you have not even
a faint idea what that means among a
gang of hopeless men, desperate in the ex-
treme. A dozen of my party died in thir-
ty days, and We then began to draw lots
for human efish. There are only four Of
us alive but all too weak to travel ex-
cepting Martin, who will try to mail this
letter and obtain relief. Sut l suppose
the letter will be too LAKE"
AS melancholy Incident the writer says
that, only few days before, he discovered
a lot of nuggets reepfng out of the frozen
ground in his tsut, but he turned from the
gold in disgust

New York, July 3.-Shopkeepers in Har-
lem have asked the police of the East
126th Street station to help them find a
clever woman swindler who appeared
among them, obtained about $500, and
vanished. She used the name of Mrs. Ma
ll9th Street She is about fifty years old,
and dresses in gowns of rich texture.
Among her victims is Abraham Ander-
son, who has a confectioner's store at
1855 Fifth Avenue. In his absence Satur-
day morning she walked into the store
and introduced herself to Mrs. Anderson.
She said that her daughter was going TO
be married that evening, and she wanted
10 arrange for the Andersons to supply the
ice cream and Confections. Frequently, she
said. she had bought cream there, and was
delighted with il. In fact she considered
it the finest that she had eaten in long
time. Mrs Anderson felt highly gratified
and thanked her patron profusely.
We will have about two hundred per-
sons at the reception" the woman contin-
ued. 1t will be a very large wedding and
We expect some distinguished men there,
including Governor Roosevelt and his staf.
I'll pay you for the ices-no, haven

She looked through her pocketbook. ap-
parently in search of money. Pulling out
a piece OF paper, she smiled pleasantly, and
said:

Mrs. Anderson said she did not have
enough cash in the drawer.
Well give me $25 on account nd you
can send the rest over with the CT am this
evening"" said the woman, and Mrs. An
derson gave her the money requested The
check was made out on a blank of the
Brooklyn City National Bank, and was
made payable to Mrs. Mary Watson. 1t
was for $50 and was signed by Charles w.
Jackson Subsequent enquiry at the bank
elected the information that no such per-
son as Charles W. jackson had an account
there.
When Anderson reached home he went
to the house in West 119th Street, and
found that il was empty. ITO let bills
adorned the front windows and stoop. No
one had lived in the house for several
months.
Soon after Anderson went away wagon
laden with camp chairs and three ice
cream wagons stopped in front of the
house. The drivers started to unload their
supplies for the wedding" when they were
told that the house was empty. During the
remainder of the evening all sorts OF We
hicles filled with goods drew up in front
of No. 26 A crowd of angry storekeepers
who had accepted the woman's checks as
sembled on the stoop and recited their
grievances. There were more than doz-
en- present, and their stories concerning
the circumstances attending the woman's
visit 10 their places of business were the
same in ali cases.

RUINED IN THE KLoNDIKE.
4 New Jersey Mans Return With
Health and Fortune Gone.

Flemington, y. j., July 3.-K!t Kuhl,
who sold out a large furniture and house
furnishing business in this place in 1897
TO embark in a Klondike expedition TO
search for gold, has just returned. Kuhl
brings back a large experience, for which
he has exchanged every dollar that he
was worth.
He left this place with more than $4,000,
and his return was at the expense of the
railroads over which he travelled, and was
made principally in freight cars. occupy
ing about three months from Seattle 10
New York.
His version of the gold found in the
Northwest does not agree with the re-
ports sent out from Seattle and other
points
His first effort to get into the interior
was over the fourth glacier at the head OF
Disenchantment Bay, where, with large
party, he attempted to get into the dis
trict where they expected to find the head
waters of the Tananna River.
This proved an impossibility, and he.
with two companions, Guy Bissby and
Thomas O'Neill, of st. Paul, Mimi, re-
rive at Seattle than newspaper of that
city wrote them up as having returned
with fortunes, the combined amount of
which was S110.OO0 in gold nuggets.
Bissby wrote letter denouncing the
heartless story, which would lead hun
dreds to make the same mistake they had
made, and the newspaper refused 10 pub
lish il.
Kuhl then went into British Columbia,
fifty miles north of Greenwood, which had
been written up in the West as great
gold field In that country he found the
British laws prevented Americans from
placer digging, and license fee had to be
taken out yearly for quartz mining, which
simply prohibited any individual mining
operations.
Kuhl is broken in health as well as
purse, having been through a severe at
tack of mountain fever.

Fatal Results of a Lightning Stroke
at Cheat Haven, Pa.

Uniontown, Pa, July 3.-Lightning
struck and set fire to the house of Logan
Main, at Cheat Haven, Saturday night, and
when the family was aroused the stairway
was burned away, penning its members in
the second story.
Frank Main, ten-year- old lad, prepared
to jump out the front window, but was de-
TERED by the wild screams of his little
cousin, Lena Kilihack. With difficulty
Frank found her in the smoke and flames.
when / tell you, jump and 1 will catch

window, landing safely.
Lena was on fire when he looked up at
the window, and Frank screamed: Jump
quickly" bracing himself to receive the
load. Half unconscious. Lena dropped
from the window and into. his arms
crushing him to the ground and dazing
him.
His clothing was fired, but he quickly ex-
tinguished the flames in his own and Lena S
