ALEXANDRIA, Va. February 6. 1899
Mayor Simpsons court room was crowded
this morning. a case of unusual interest be-
ing the attraction. 1t was that of James
Griffin jr., charged with attempting to take
his mothers life last Saturday afternoon,
an account of which appeared in The Star
The list of witnesses was read and when
Mrs. Griffins name was called her son
George stated that his mother was sick and
unable to appear.
Officer Hall, who made the arrest, testi-
fed that he was some distance off when the
shooting occurred, and upon arriving on the
scene he found young Griffin in the arms
Of his brother George and another man.
The accused man accompanied the officer
peacefully to the station house.
Mr.. George thler testified TO having seized
Griftin's hand just his pistol was dis
charged. Considerable additional evidence
was gwen and Griffin was asked if he
wished to make statement and replied
in effect, that he had no intention of shoot
ing his mother. and that liquor was re-
sponsihle for his actions.
Mayor Simpson, in reviewing the case
said il was serious one, and that it was
greatly aggravated by the relationship of
the parties-between the prisoner and his
intended victim. He took into consideration
the fact that Mrs. Griffin, the chief COM
pIainant, did not appear, and imposed a
fine of $50 with ninety days on the gang as
alternative.
Additional Cases Of Smallpox.
The house-to-house inspection for new
cases of smallpox is being pushed with
vigor. and several additional cases have
been reported since The Stars report closed

of Joseph Petit, at No. 115 South Payne

morning North Pitt street, the patient
being colored.
The usual precautionary mea sures have
been taken at these premises.
Crap shooters Fined.
Several colored youths were arraigned
before Mayor Simpson this morning on a
charge of shooting crap. The charges were
sustained in the case of Elmer Keyer,
Charles Gaskins and Jacob Brooks who
had been apprehended by Officer Knight

FARMERS TRUSTS.

In his testimony recently before the
Industrial Commission, Mr.. G. X.
Holmes, statistician of the Department
of Agriculture, had much to say in de-
fense of what he called farmers
trusts, and asked that the interests of
such combines be borne in mind when
the Commission comes to make its rec
concentrations to Congress. A trust is
not necessarily, Mr.. Holmes contended
an association of rich men only, but
may include farmers, dairymen and
fruit growers, as we'll as labor organ
lied in trades unions. AS matter of
fact, he said, farmers have organized a
number of trusts, which they conduc-
ted with success. AS example he cites
the NIX Producers Uuion of Boston
and the fruit growers of California
The reason for the trust movement
among farmers he finds to be the same
as among manufacturers, namely, de-
sire to restrict competition among
themselves and maintain or advance
prices. There are many such trusts, of
more or less informal nature, at all
times in every community. By com
binatiOn the farmers find it possible to
command better prices and obtain
lower freight rates. Accordingly Mr..
Holmes holds that any legislation de-
signed to destroy or regulate trusts
have to be very skilfully drawn if it is
not to apply to farmers organizations.

would seem to me, therefore, entirely
rational that the present warefare in
the Philippines should be over by the
end of the next dry season, which be-
gins in November. With the strength
ening of General Otis force as now
by the Government and with the plan
ned vigorous prosecution of the cam
paign during the rainy season, the in
surgents will be so demOralized when
the dry season arrives, that few sweep
ing, decisive movements of flying col
umns into the interior should effect
lively destroy all vestiges of the revolt.
While it is difficult to campaign in the
Philippines at any time, it is possible
in the dry season for troops to go any
where and everywhere and be followed
by the commissariat There is Jungle
and there are swamps to meet, but they
are not impossible after the rains are
over. If such brilliant campaigns can
be waged as are now going Oh with the
rains prevailing, there is no reason
why, when they are over, the war
should not be quickly ended. From

Largely 0yerestimated.

The real estate holdings of Capt.
Andrew Woodall of Kent county is
surely very largely overestimated by
the Transcript, when the acreage held
by him is placed at about 80, 900 acres.
For number of years previous to the
death of Gen. VIM. McKenney and at
the time of his death it was claimed
that he owned the largest acreage of
agricultural land in the State. This
claim was never disputed. At the time
of his death he owned fifty-six farms
and considerable woodland, which to-
gether with his farms would aggregate
10000 acres. Gen. McKenney owned
a little in excess of one-eleventh of the
agricultural land of the county. If
Capt. Woodall owned 80, 900 acres, he
would own, says the CentreUiUe Rec
ord, many acres in excess of one-half
the agricultural land of Kent county.

ACCIDENT INQUIRY.
Theory That Boys Interfered With the
Signals.

The Wilmington and Chester Trac-
tion Company is still investigating the
cause of the trolley accident on the
lines on July 4, but no decision has
yet been reached and the company is
not ready to talk of what it has found
out
There is a theory now that the sig
nal of the block system may have been
interfered with by boys or by some
one who was examining it, and not know
ing the Importance of the signal, turn
ed the lights out. There were num-
Der of boys along the line on the
Fourth and it would have been no
trouble for any of them to have turned
the switch that controls the lights.
The company has not given out such a
statement as this as the cause, but this
is one of the lines which will be fol-
lowed in the investigation.
A short time ago some one made a
deliberate attempt to derail a car at
the swith near the block signals con-
trolling the block in which the acci-
dent occurred. The switch was thrown
over SO that a car running on it would
be derailed.

THE LIMITATION OF THE FILIPINOS.
Cot Off From Supplies it Would Seem
That the Present Warfare is
Near the End.

The head and front of the revolt is.
of course, the TagalOOs, who are sup
ported by the natives of the country
between Manila and Dagupan and also
to the south who are nOminallv of
other tribes, but practically and physi-
cally the same as the TagaloOs. The
insurgent army is made upof class of
men who are n rted from the lives
they have led to hill or mountain work.
They are chiefly recruited from Ma
Mia and the principal towns to the
north and south. Most of them have
been brought up to comparative lazy
lives and to have all they wanted to
eat. The population, moreover, which
is most affected by this war is not the
hill element, but that which makes up
the great farming and trading por-
tion.
These considerations are very i'm
portant in view of the effect of the pres
ent rainy season on the combatants.
From the conditions now existing, it
would seem that the Filipino army and
people are going to suffer far more than
even the Americans. Many of their
chief sources of supply are in our
hands; their important markets are
cut off from them or likewise in our
hands; we have captured many of their
stores and accumulated supplies; and
now we are in position to watch the
coast SO as to prevent them from get
ting further arms and ammunition. 1t

HONORABLE GUILD OF BEGGARS.
How the Kind Public Helps Them to Lux
uriOus Living.

All the world knows the stories of
wealthy beggars beggars for whom
begging is trade, and not a resource.
There was the famous one in Paris,
who owned a row of houses and had
money in all the banks. Mr.. Sher-
lock Holmes exposed one, and his
friend the doctor wrote an entertain
ing account of the affair. 1t is no sur
prise, therefore, that a prosperous beg
ging house be discovered in this city,
even by detectives whom Mr.. Sher-
lock Holmes would probably estimate
as no better than the best of Scotland
yard.
1t was discovered through number
of beggars who had been arrested Civ
ing the same address. The head of
the concern ought to have thought of
that danger and provided against it.
There were five of them who said that
they lived there. Two were brought
in together, and they had only two
legs. That is to say, each of them had
one leg. The concern has been called
a syndicate, but that appears to be
mistake, arising from the tendency of
of careless persons to call everything
In which two or more persons are con-
cerned syndicate or trust. 1t APP
pears really to be run on padrone
system.
There is only one capitalist. He en-
ploys the wOrkmen, or artists, so to
speak. What they get by begging they
share with him on a certain percentage
basis. He assigns them to their sta
tions in their streets, gives them lodg-
ing, takes care of them when they are
sick and gets them free when they are
arrested-if he can.
The padrOne insists that its business
shall be carried on in the most digni-
fed, legitimate and artistic manner.
He prefers that his men shall be Grip
pies, but he will not allow them to dis
play wounds OF deformities, and they
must always be clean. In fact, he
makes it a pleasure for the public to
support him, and that it is a pleasure
is shown by the success of one of his
employees. This man has only one leg,
but he has an artificial one which he
puts on for his hour of recreation. He
has been seen going to the opera, walk
ing so well that his lack of leg could
hardly be detected. walking" means
only walking from his carriage to the
door of the Metropolitan Opera House.
for he would not think of going there
on foot or of taking a cable car. There
Is no need of taking chances of being
made worse cripple than is needful
for the business. He also brought a
handsomely dressed young women to
the opera with him. And 1t must be a
profitable business, when an emplove
not an emplOyer-can make as much
money with one leg as he can with two.
