The local health authorities now have to
battle with, eight genuine cases of small
pox. The new cases were discovered yes
terday. One is that of Hugh Haney. who
is convalescent after four weeks suffer-
ing with the infection. The second new
victim Is James Curtin of 623 Maryland
Avenue southeast. Curtin is an engineer
on the Southern Railroad. His companion,
the fireman on the engine. resides in Alex
andria, and the engineer himself passed
through that place almost daily He also
draws his pay in Alexandria. No doubt
exists in the mind of the health authorities
that the disease was contracted in that
place. Curtin was removed to the small
poN hospital and the house in which he
/ lived has been quarantined and disin-
fected.
The case of Haney. the first person re-
ported yesterday as having the disease is
! peculiar one. He is convaescent but
has been suffering about four weeks with
out the character of the disease being
known. HaDey lived at the Hill home, 2IO6
Eleventh Street northwest. where three
new cases were found yesterday The dis
covery that Haney had the disease serves
to show that Esau Hill. his wife and baby
caught smallpox from him
Speaking of the mildness of most of the
! cases. Dr. Woodward said yesterday:
The ug,icst feature nj The prevalence OF the
disease at present is the fact that the cases
mostly mild Ii the types were more severe

quarters that the hospital will soon be

wINsToN'S TRIAL BEGUN.
Testimony Introduced to Substanti-
ntc the Charge of Murder.


Charles Winston was put on trial yes
terday. for the second time. in the Dis
trict Courts on the charge of murder.
The crime of which he is accused is the
killing of his wife. Emma Winston.
The story of the deed as told by the wit
nesses for the Government, is that on the
morning of December 10. 1897, Winston
and his wife, Emma, were alone in their
room. at 521 Third Street southeast. His
wife, who worked out nights returned
home and had finished breakfast about II
o'clock when they went UP stairs together.
They had not been in their room long
when Elizabeth Johnson, Winston's wife's
sister. hear Il sound as if some one had
fallen to the floor. Following this came
the reports of four pistol shots. She went
out on the street and notified Policeman
Nicholson. He Immediately went into
Winston's room and found the place very
dark, the shutters closed. the window
shades down and the curtains drawn. The
place was filled with smoke. He struck
a match and saw Emma Winston lying
dead across the foot of the bed. Winston
was kneeling by her side, gasping for
breath, as though choking.
The investigation proved that the woman
had three bullet holes in her head and that
of wound in his right eye.
The woman was sent to the morgue and
Winston to the hospital.
At his former trial Winston testified that
his wife was jealous because OF his atten-
tions to other women and committed sui
eide, but before doing SO attempted to kill
him. 1t is in this way he accounts for the
wound which has caused him to lose the
sight of his right eye He further states

ened by the sound of pistol shot. He
was in a dazed condition. he claims. and
knows nothing Of what took place in the
room after he was awakened. When he re-
gained his senses he says he was in the
hospital.
While the trial of Winston practically
began yesterday, the empaneling Of the
jury commenced on Saturday. The draw

THE RIGHT TO STRING WIRES.
Attorney Thomas Renders m Opin
ion for District officials.


ion for District officials.
S. T. Thomas. attorney for the District,
rendered an opinion yesterday in which he
holds that the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company is not authorized by
existing legislation to incumber its poles
with more wires than may be necessary
for the accommodation of subscribers at
the time of the application to string wires.
The opinion is the outcome of a request
made by the telephone company several
days ago for permission to run an aerial
cable along its pole line in square No. 529.
The Electrical Engineer OF the District, to
whom the matter was referred, recon-
mended that a permit be granted as he
thought the request came within the law
allowing the stringing OF wires from one
square 10 another for the purpose of max
ing house connections. Captain Beach rec
commended that the matter be referred to
the attorney for the District for an opin-
ion He regarded it as question whether
a cable containing many more wires than
might be necessary at the time OF applica-
tlon could be permitted under existing
laws.
Attorney Thomas. in his opinion. states
that one of the objects of the legislation
preventing the stringing of more wires
than are necessary at the time OF applica
tion is to prevent the unnecessary dupiica-
tion Of wires and poles. and to confine the
erection OF poles and overhead wires, as
far as possible to alleys

REJECTED LOVER
TAKES HIS LIFE
Suicide of II. E. Petersen
at Salinas.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALINAS, April 24.-Another of those
sad cases wherein young man des-
perately in love with a pretty maiden
of tickle disposition ends life rather
than be subjected to the taunts of the
gossiping public for having been Tilted
eliminated in this city this evening,
when H. E. Petersen shot himself in
the head with revolver and died soon
afterWard.
For a long time it has been known
that Petersen, who was % years old,
has been attentive to Miss Bertha Mar
tin, a jacksonville young lady promi-
nent in society circles Of that city, and
they have long been regarded as be-
trCthed This love affair commenced
several years ago and up to only a few
months ago Petersen lived in the town
which was the home of his affianced.
He was employed by the Spreckels
Company, had a fine position, had ac
cumulated quite little wealth and
was very devoted to Miss Martin.
Several months age, so the story
goes, Petersen having been removed to
the office of the company near this city,
Miss Martin found another man who
suited her fancy, and as result Peter
sen did not receive letters as frequently

and a companion drove over to Watson

the drive to this city Petersen limited
there had been quarrel.

pr'etor of the Spreckels Hotel heard the
report of d revolver in the room of
Petersen. He entered and found the

"AUFLUSS DER WINEFLAUNE"
SAY GERMAN OFFICIALS

BERLIN, April 24.-In official circles the
Coghlan incident is regarded as an ''auf-
luss der winehaune" expression of wine
humor).
A representative of the Foreign Office
said to the correspondent here of the AS
ISOLATED Press:
THE American Government has prompt
ly and efficiently done all we could rea-
sonably ask. This alone, even If 1t were
not for other indications, shows us that
the American Government is not in any
way identified with the utterances of a
solitary officer"
The Tageblatt, in an inspired article, re-
calls the fact that the incident is a year
old referring to the message which Ad-
miral Dewey is said to have sent to Ad-
miral Won Diederichs), and adds IF we
must admit Admiral Dewey first harbored
suspicious of the German squadron, these
suspicious were subsequently removed and
their relations became most cordial, Ad-
miraI Dewey even decorating. his ships
with flags on the Empress birthday
which international etiquette did not COM
pei him to do"
The Lokal AnZeiger, in a somewhat vio-
lent denunciation of Captain Coghlan,
says: He comes of Irish-American line
age. which VIGOROUSLY produces the
roughs. both high and low, of the Amer
lean classes"
The Boersen Courier thinks 1t strange
the Americans recommence to seek
quarrel with Germany instead of first con-
quering the Filipnos, who promise to give
them enough work for some time to come

DEMAND RECOGNITION
OF A MINERS UNION

WARNER, Idaho, April 24.-Another
labor strike was started here last night
when the Wardner Miners Union de-
manded that the Bunker Hill and Sulli-
van Company, employing $50 men, ad-
vance wages to 50 so all around and rec
ognize the union. The company is pay
ing 50 and 81 so and has not recognized the
union since the great strike Of 1892. The
managers replied that they would never
recognize the union; that rather than do
so they would shut down the mine for
twenty years; but they are willing to adj
vance wages to s. so for miners and 50
for car men and shovelers
The union, which has been working its
men into the mine for long time. claims
that 200, men came out on it's call last
night. The company claims that it has
lost only 100
A similar demand was made on the EN-
pire State Idaho Company, formerly the
Last Chance. Charles Sweeney, one of the
owners, arrived to-day from Spokane and
ordered the mill and the mine closed. He
will discuss matters with the union to-
morrow. There have been no disorders,
but many apprehend there will be.

CAPTAIN DREYFUS WILL
NEVER BE LIBERATED

LONDON, April 25-David Christie
Murray publishes this morning the state
ment that he has learned from trust
worthy sources in Paris that the superior

vanninelli, General Duchesne and Gen
eral Jemont, its vice president, none Of
whom, except perhaps General Zurlinden.
has heretofore been implicated in the
Dreyfus affair, has decided that, under
no circumstances whatever, shall Dreyfus
be liberated
He understands also, from the same
ceeding between the Intelligence Bureau
and the judges of the Court of Cessation
to secure a rejection of the request for
revision and that the judges who favor
revision are being subjected to terrible in
timidation. More than this, he learns
that everything has been arranged for a
sham trial of Colonel Picquart, who is to
be degraded and sentenced to imprison-
ment for ten years.
PARIS, April 24.-The Figaro continues
it's publication of the testimony offered
before the Court of Cessation in the Drey-
fus revision inquiry. Captain Cuignet,
who described the discovery of the forgery
of Lieutenant Colonel Henry, told the
court that in his opinion Henry was only
an accomplice of Colonel Patty du
Clam, the principal author of the for
gerry, inasmuch as Henry was never be-
fore accused of wrong-doing, while
According to Captain Cuiget, Patty
du Clam had the dossier at the prefecture
