HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY.
Result of the Inquest Into the Death
of Alice Vaughn.

Result of the Inquest Into the Death
of Alice Vaughn.
The inquest into the death of Alice
Vaughn, colored. who died at Freedman's
Hospital February rs from the effects Of
an alleged criminal operation, opened at
the Sixth precinct police station this morn
ing at IL o'clock.
The woman died from peritonitis, which
is alleged TO have been brought about by
Illicit midwifery on the part of Mrs. Char
lotte Scott, colored. DR.. Glazebrook was
the first witness called. He said that when
the body was exhumed he was astonished
TO find that an autopsy had already been
performed, and that the organs which were
to be examined had been removed.
DR.. Puryis, of the Freedman's Hospital
staff, was then called. He stated that he
directed the performance of the autopsy at
Freedman's Hospital just after the death
OF the woman. They found evidences OF
peritonitis, but could not say whether or
not it was superinduced by criminal abor-
tion. Several other physicians from the
hospital were called, and they gave testi-
mony similar to that of DR.. Purvis.
Policemen Henry, Mcdonald and Fugitt
of the Eighth Precinct, testified as to the
arrest of the prisoner and several wit
nesses were called who gave testimony as
to the character of the accused. She Is
said to have been midwife and has prac-
ticed extensively among the eolored peo-
pie. living in the vicinity of her home Few
of the Witnesses knew the deceased and
none of them could say anything concern
ing an alleged abortion.
The character given the woman by. the
witnesses, however, influenced the jury
sufficiently for it TO decide TO allow the
grand jury to Investigate the case and
verdict was rendered accordingly
Mrs. Scott will be held in Jail to await
the action of the grand jury.

PosToFFIcE PLASTER FALLS.
Ceiling of the Second Story Affected
by the Elements.

by the Elements.
Plastering from the ceiling on the sec
ond story of the new City Postoffice is be-
ginning to break up and fall to the floor.
The entire upper surface under the por-
tieo over the main entrance of the building
is in danger of being ruined. The roof of
the portico is in still worse condition, and
is responsible for the falling of the plas-
ter.
1t was constructed under the supervision
OF Superintendent Stewart who was after
ward deposed from the superintendency of
the building, and whose administration of
its construction will soon be the subject of
an investigation by the Treasury Depart
ment.
Ike roof is made of cement which is
subject to the changes in temperature. The
extreme cold weather during the past win
ter has caused the composition to con-
tract and large cracks are beginning to
make their appearance in the roof The
rain which does not run from the top
OF the portico finds its way through the
cracks to the ceiling below where ii is
absorbed into the plaster. The wet lime
and sand soon loosens its hold on the lath
and, having no support, falls TO the floor.
So far as can be learned no provision has
been made to repair the roof and it is
only a matter of time before the whole
ceiling will come down with a crash.
Superintendent Bartelle, who was placed
in charge of the construction of the build
ing after Stewart was deposed, says that
the cracks in the cement are the natural
result of the effect of the elements on it,
and that there seems to be no way OF
remedying il. 1T is as good as the av-
erage roof" said the superintendent this
time. That portion of the building ha:
been completed for a number OF years, an.
there is nothing strange or alarming in the
falling of the plaster"

TRUCKHoUSE SITE.
Lot for the New Columbia Heights
Building Selected.


Commissioner Wight this afternoon an
nounced that site had been selected for
the proposed Fire Department truckhouse
to be erected in Columbia Heights at
cost of $4,000
The lot is known as lot Il, in block 81
on the south side of Whitney Avenue be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets
Columbia Heights. AS exclusively stated
in The Times this morning, it was prac-
tically agreed upon yesterday, and in fact.
several days ago that the new truckhouse
would be on the south side of Whitney
Avenue, near Thirteenth Street
The lot has frontage of fifty fee. and
a depth of 1875 feet, and the price pa d to
the bidders, Brice & Lipscornb, was So $50
or about $500 less than the amount of their
bid.
The Commissioners and Chief Paris,
head of the Fire Department. are unani-
nous in believing that the site is an ad-
mirable one for the purpose intended.
The ground is level and the advantage of
having an engine house building on
ground that is on the grade and which
does not require filling was secured with
the purchase of the lot.
No decision has been reached as far as
the Georgetown engine house is concerned
but the Commissioners will not be long in
reaching decision in the matter There
were many persons in the list of those who
offered to sell sites to the District Each
was required to accompany his proposal
with a certificate or certified checks as a
guarantee that the bidder would complete
the sale of the ground upon the acceptance
of the bid.
The Commissioners still retain these
checks and in order that those who sub
| mitted bids and whose bids were not ac-
cepted may not be deprived of the use OF
their money a decision will probably be
| reached in the matter of the Georgetown
Truck Company site late this afternoon.
Commissioner Wight will go to New
York Monday and confer with Mr.. Carne-
gle in regard to the proposed Public Lii
| brary to be erected in Mount Vernon
| Square. While there, he will study some
| new fire engine-houses and particularly
| some combination engine-houses many oi
| which are being erected in other cities
| Mr.. Wight may also stop in Philadelphia
long enough to observe some late exam.
