whose farm was to be part of the
future capital. Washington, who was
then president. took great interest in
laying out the city and remoninrated
with Mr.. Burns about his attitude.
Whereupon the old Scotchman grufiy
responded: Il suppose, Mr.. Washing
ton, you think people here are going
TO take every grist from you as pure
grain, but what would you have been
= you had not married the Widow
Custis?"
Were Washington's love affairs end
ed when he married? There are those
who say not. Mr.. Ford in consider
ing this question says that "stories of
his immortality are banded about in
clubs, a well-known clergyman has
youched for their truth, and a United
states senator has given further cur
rency to them by claiming special
knowledge on the subject" Undoubt-
eddy there were scandalous stories
ahoat about him, but so far as clos.
Investigation shows he cannot be call
ed an immoral man. He certainly
was very impressionable to the
charms of women, even to the poini
of making his wife jealous at times
but there is no we'll authenticated in
stance of infidelity on his part.
Before his marriage perhaps it was
different, and the people down in
Posey county, Indiana, have a tradi.
ton and generally believe that he was
the father of General Thomas Posey
who was the first territorial governor
of Indiana. AS General Posey was
born in 1850 on the Potomac when
Washington was a surveyor and IS
years of age the story is not alto
gether improbable. Washington was
well acquainted with the. Posey family
and as his correspondence shows was
instrumental in procuring promotion
for young Posey, who served in the
revolutionary army.

BAD MANAGEMENT IN LUZON.
A London Artist Complains Bitterly Of
Conditions There.

London, Aug. 1.-The special artist OF
the Daily Graphic of this city, now in
the Philippine islands, has been in
dulging in a vigorous growl at the
treatment which he says he has been
subjected to by authorities who are so
deficient in common sense, to say moth
ing of courtesy, as to forbid an artist
the assistance which he might provide
for himself by engaging servants to
carry the food the military authorities
decline to supply even now on pay
ment'
He adds: "If this campaign were
conducted by the British, there would
be officers commanding the base and
lines of communication, roads would be
repaired streams would be bridged or
ferries established and supply trains
would be moved along, establishing de-
pots.
Il have accompanied five British ex-
petitions where these characteristics
prevailed, but this is the first campaign
/ have seen in which the transportation
service was Systematically neglected.
Even the Chinese established depots in
1894. But here you cannot be taken by
cart from Manila to San Tomas by
road without having to swim streams.
But for bit of single railway line the
troops would be starved on this line of
operations. AS it is they are fed from
hand to mouth" -.--r.

WINDOW GLASS TRUST.
Tho Combination Perfected With Capt.
talization of $37, 100000.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 1.-The con-
summation of the window glass COM
bination is practically assured. 1t has
been decided to take up the options
on five plants in the West that expire
to-day, and the money will be paid
over before tomorrow. The bulk of
the options on the remaining plants
do not expire until Sept. l, although
some expire before that date. All
doubt as to the success of the project
will now probably be brushed out of
the minds of the glass manufacturers
and the disturbing rumors of trouble
in the combine will be checked. A
charter was granted yesterday to the
American Window Glass company, and
under this the combination will be
perfected. The company is capitalized
at $37 900, 900.

After recess Frederick Clark Withers,
of the firm of Withprs & Dickson, said
his firm drew the plans for the Tombs
prison under the direction of former
Commissioner Wright Early in 1898
Commissioner Lantry informed his firm
that Morgan & Slattery were to amend
its plans. Commissioner Lantry, the
witness said, told him he wished to have
architects in sympathy with the ad-
ministration. II was minated that
the witness firm would better retire
from the work, and finally they were
dismissed. The plans of witness firm

Horgan & Slattery used more material
than the original Specifications called
for in art decoration. Such art on pris-
on cells was bad, Mr.. Withers said be-
cause 1t gave a place for Vermin to
lodge.
Mr.. Moss read the original estimate
for the Tombs building as prepared by
Withers & Dickson and compared 1t
item for item with the estimate in the
contract as finally awarded to Horgan
& Slattery. The additional cost to the
city under the Morgan & Slattery con-
tract Is $320,917
Mr.. Morgan was recalled and Mr..
Moss asked a great many technical
questions which the witness refused to
answer Mr.. Horgan said the firm of
Morgan & Slattery was a corporation.
Mr.. Horgan and Mr., Slattery owned
most of the stock. No dividends had
been declared and no part of the in

Business nj the Ola stand.
New York, Aug. AFTER a vacation
of about six weeks the Mazet assembly
committee convened to-day to continue
the work of investigating the different
departments Of the New York city gov
eminent
stDeputy Sheriff Mulvaney was the
first witness. Mr.. Moss. counsel for the
committee, wanted to know if the
sheriff had taken any action to stop
gambling in the absence of such pre-
Ventive steps by the police. The dep
uty sheriff said he was aware that a
statute provided for such action, but
believed it applied to such counties as
were imperfectly policed.
Our object" explained Mr.. Moss, 'in
bringing you here, was to call your at
tention to the section of the law which
makes it incumbent on sheriffs to sup
press crime. Betting on horse races is
now practiced in this city to an ex-
traordinary extent, and 1t is our in
tention to bring this fact to the atten-
ton of all public officers"
Mr. Moss then called President Mich
ael o. Murphy Of the health department
and questioned him concerning work
done by Horgan and Slattery, city
architects.
Slattery had erected the Willard hos
pital There had been no public com
petition for this work.
Arthur J. Horgan of Horgan & Stat
terry was called. He said he designed
the new city prison; that the steel cells
cost $4,000 and that his firm got five
per cent. for their work. He had never
talked with John F. Carroll about the
work, nor had he paid Carroll any
money. He had made most of the
drawings for the steel cells himself
| None had been made by a Western de-
signer.
Vincent J. Slattery, Morgan's partner
confirmed Horgan's statement that the
firm had never paid any money to Mr.
Carroll. Slattery said that the lead
ing architects and architectural rape r.
had upheld his firms criticism of tho
work of John H. Thomas, who drew the
plans for the new hall of records.
Was that criticism PROFESSIONAL"
1T was, and the city saved a million
dollars by it,"
Mr.. Slattery said his firms report or
Mr. Thomas plan was drawn up by
Mr.. Horgan. The witness objected t.
many of the questions and spoke in 8
| loud and angry tone when Mr.. Moss
! insinuated that he had been out of the
! city lately to avoid a subpoena. Mr.
MaZet called him to order.
What kind of marble, in your opin

ever. that even in case of an outbreak
in the little settlement at Phoebus, the
community there can be so guarded as
to prevent any further spread. The
soldier who is supposed to be Iespon-
sible for the importation of the fever
from Cuba has not yet been appre-
hended, although several inmates of
the nome have been recognized and de
tanned at various points. Ii is said BY
the marine hospital authorities that
there is but little danger of the further
spread of the disease by the soldier in
question. He had not developed the
fever himself when he left the home.
Objections have already been raised
to the determination reached by the
government to send the garrison at
Fort Monroe to Battery Point. De-.
Surgeon General Wyman has called he
attention of the war department to ths
fact that it is not far enough north
to take garrison which possibly may
have yellow fever infection. 1t would
be dangerous. he says, TO the troops
and to the people in that vicinity. At
the war department it is said the Who'll =
matter has been turned over to General
Merritt. Surgeon General Wyman has
refused to allow the troops to be sent
by rail through Washington from FErt
Monroe, and they will be taken across
the bay to Cape Charles and thence by
rail to Battery Point. None of the
transportation companies operating in
Chesapeake bay and Hampton Road
would take the troops by water to Bat
terry Point.

PROBABLY A FATAL WOUND.
Dave Conneu, Who Was Hiring Miner
for the Occur d'Alenes, Shot at
Cripple Creek


Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Cripple Creek, Colo, Aug. 1.-Dave
Connell was shot and received a prob
ably fatal wound while at the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek depot shortly
after IL o'clock tonight. His assail-
ant is not known. Connell has been
in camp for the last five days securing
miners to go to the Occur d'Alene
country. This afternoon he was
warned to leave town by committee.
He made complaint to the sheriff and
to the town marshal, who assured him
that he would be safe in remaining
here. Tonight, with a party of seven
recruits, he went to the Florence &
| Cripple Creek depot, but missed the
regular train. Soon after his arrival
the men were surrounded and rocks
were thrown at them.
They resented this assault and it is
| said pulled their guns. At this action
some one in the crowd pulled a gun
and fired, the ball taking effect in Con-
| nells side. Another shot was fired,
which took off the top of the left
thumb of one of Connell's friends.
| This mans name could not be learned
| but he lives at Anaconda Colo. Two
of the friends of Council dragged him
along the railway track toward Ana
conda and bystanders assert that he
| was unable to walk and begged his
| friends to allow him to lie down. The
sheriff and police officers are now look
| ing for the wounded man.
| Dave Council is well-known in the
district and served as deputy sheriff
at Goldfeld a few years ago. He had
secured a number of miners in this
city, Anaconda and Victor to accom-
pany him to the Occur d'Alene country,
and intended to leave on the regular
train tonight, but missed it on account
of the change of time. This evening
one of his recruits, Jack Hoffman, was
arrested here for carrying concealed
weapons, but was released on $50 cash
bond given by Council. The shooting
has caused a great deal of excitement
all over the camp.
Council has been advertising in the
newspapers for men, Offering $3.50 per
day, the transportation to come out OF
the second months wages. Frank
Stevenson of Anaconda, who was with
Connell at the time of the assault, said
I'VE missed the train and started tc
come up town when the men jumped
on us, each armed with a gun. The
leader said: Here are the scabs.' Each
of them pulled their guns and began
beating US on the heads. I was knock
ed unconscious. l heard only one shot
Among those who We're with Connel
were o. C. Stout, Jack Hoffman anG
Fred Walker"
Connell arrived here last Saturday
and to an intimate friend said he hat
sent 800 miners from Joplin, Mo, to the
Occur d'Alenes and intended to send al
many more from the Cripple Creek dis
, trict to take the places of union miners
, there. Connel was employed on thu
Star mine at Victor at the time of tn
big labor strike in 1894 and was to-
, foreman on Bunker Hill and Sullivan
when the mill and shaft house wer
| blown I'D some months ago.
