MORRELL SUICIDE INQUIRY.
FURTHER FACTS REGARDING
THE DECEASED.
The Coroner's Jury Hears Evidence
Concerning the Car Con-
ductor's Suicide.

Coroner McMullen last night held an
an inquest over the remains of William
E. Morrell, the P-street car conductor
who committed suicide by shooting
himself on Sunday afternoon
The verdict of the jury was that he
came to his death by a self-infiicted
gunshot wound. There were but three
witnesses, and the Record Union 81
account of the tragedy, as printed yes
terday, was shown to have been cor
rect.
F. H. jenkins of 1921 ] street was
the first and most important witness.
After telling the story of the fatal shot,
MI. jenkins said: ''Morrell did no:
greet my aunt and me warmly when
he found us at his house. He gave
his wife savage look and did not
speak to her at ALL Soon after this
he passed to his bedroom and killed
himself.
Mrs. Morrell told me that she called
him to dinner, but he would not come.
He said: III never eat another meal
in this houset He also said: Well,
you've succeeded in getting me dis
charged at lastn He seemed very
much put out, she said, and was not
himself all the forenoon
Witness said Mrs Morreu recounted
the story of her husbands discharge,
as he had told it. The Superintendent
had said: Did you see this mornings
paper, the 'News?'"
Yes" replied Morrell.
'Well, I'm instructed to ask you to
resign. You can never outlive these
things, and the car men and citizens
are very bitter. If let you resign
can give you a good letter, otherwise
l cannot do anything"
Jenkins swore he formerly roomed at
the Morrell house, and often heard the
husband curse and abuse his wife.
Their quarrels were about money mat
ters. He was stingy and overbearing,
though gambler and fond of other
vices, but not drinking man.
James Mccarthy corroborated Jen-
kins as to the finding the body.
A. r. Harvey, the closest neighbor of
Morrell, swore as follows: six weeks
ago 1 heard screams; heard Morrell
cursing his wife, and the child cried
out, Don't hit mammal 1 jumped out
of bed to interfere. but did not. T
iedi u NiS MoITeI say, I Ou re pref
ty man, to beat your wife, but< he
called her everything he could think
of. A week later he was beating her
at o'clock one morning, and two
weeks ago he knocked her down. I
had made up my mind to have him
arrested if I heard any more of the
trouble. I know the woman drove him
to his work mornings and cooked his
meals for him at all hours
That ended the evidence and the YER
diet was brought in soon after, as
stated
The funeral will be from Miller &
McMullen's funeral parlors at 2:30 to-

Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an

Anticipating the Sex.

The shape Of the egg varies
with the age of the hen, for in
stance, eggs laid by pullets of
the first year will be longer and
more pointed in shape than those
laid by the same bird when two
years old, though at the COM
mencement of her second years
laying the eggs will still be long
er than those laid subsequently.
1t will therefore be seen that it
is quite as possible to foretell the
future sex of a chicken from a
certain egg as it is to foretell the
sex OF the progency of any ami
NAL before it is born, II is one
of those mysteries of nature that
is beyond mans comprehension,
and those who assume the self
i'm posed officer of diviner in
such matters have in the end to
accept things as they come, for
there has never yet been the
man able to count his chickens
before they were hatched, nei-
ther anyone that could anticipate
as a surety of the future sex
of chicken from the formation
of the egg, Twice out of thrice
luck may favor the would-be
prognosticator, but the third
time all his estimates may be
wrong Keeper.

Geese.

The Embden, Toulouse, Afri-
can and the Brown and White
China, are the principal domestic
breeds of geese. The En- bden or
Bremen geese are from Germa-
my, and are of pure white color,
have blue eyes, and yellow bill
and legs. The ganders will
weigh from sixteen to twenty
pounds, and geese from twelve
to eighteen pounds. They are
the best sitters and mothers but
do not lay as many eggs in sea-
sou as some of the other breeds.
They are perhaps more salable
than any other breed on account
of their pure white feathers.
Cushman says: "For the most
sala bic goslings mate En- mbden
ganders with African geese. For
goslings that will be largest,
heaviest and most attractive look
ing, as we'll as a good number
raised for Christmas market,
mate Embden ganders with Tou-
louise geese.
Geese are neglected, but if
properly cared for will give a
good return in feathers and
broilers on the farm. A boiled
dinner" once a week consisting
of turnips, carrots, cabbage, po-
tatoes or any ofNthe roots will
stimulate the egg production.
The Toulouse goose is the
largest of any breed and prefer
red by many. They are very
quiet and dot require much wa
ter. They will lay about thirty
eggs each during the season.
They are gray in color and are
named after the part of France
from which they came. They
are not so easily managed while
sitting as the En- bden.
The African, or Hong-Kong
geese and the White and Brown
China from Asia. The Knob in
the White and Brown is larger
than the African. Gosliugs are
easily raised and require but lit
tie feed outside of grass. Corn
meal slightly moistened with
sand or charcoal added occasion
ally is all they need. Cooked
food may be given consisting of
vegetables, cut clover, etc. Cos
lings will not stand crowding
like ducks.

How to Keep Food.

Different kinds of food should be
kept separate from each other.
Keep potatoes and all root ve9e-
tables in box or bin in Il dry celler.
Cranberries may be kept for
months in crooks or jars, and COW
cred with water.
Sugar, rice, hominy, farina, oat-
meal, and the like, are best kept in
bags or boxes in cool, dry closet.
Milk should be as far as possible
separated from other food, and kept
clean and cool. A basket kept on a
swinging shelf is the proper
receptacle for eggs.
Dried fruits are best kept in bags
and hung upon dry wall, but they
can also be we'll presers=ti,.it pro-
perly dried, in boxes.
Apples and oranges keep longest
by being wrapped separately in tis-
sue paper and spread out SO as moi
to touch each other, in a cool, dry
plrce.
Cold cooked vegetables and the
like must be covered if not kept in
wire cupboards,
