once, and that was in Decem'

II have done it." remarked Mrs.. Mary
had taken q carbolic acid solution. and an
hour later she was q corpse. She was the
wife Of Edward Hickerson. a young man
who went to Cuba as District volunteer.
Their marriage was one of the romances Of
the Standardization war. The wife, who
was Miss Mary Pierce, was living at the
nome OF her parents at Fredericksburg,
Va, when the members of the 4th Immune
Regiment were encamped near that his
torfc town. She was then about twenty-one
years old, while the young man was a year
younger. 1t so happened that they became
acquainted, and after his departure from
Virginia letters passed between them.
Upon the receipt Of his discharge at Camp
Meade, after returning from Cuba, Kicker
son journeyed to Fredericksburg. While
there he was taken SICK and when he re-
covered Miss Pierce made the trip to his
home with him. Later she returned to
Fredericksburg, and when she came back
again the nuptial knot was tied.
Because of the hardships endured in Cuba
the young mans health was not good. and
some time ago he was operated upon by
surgeons; Carbofic acid dressing was
ordered for the wound, and 1T was part of
this solution that the young woman drank.
Hfckerson was in the room at the time, and
he made an effort to save his wife by
knocking the bottle from her hand. but he
was too late. Policemen Tompkins and
hewitt called the ambulance and had Mrs.
Hickerson taken from her home at 40
New York avenue to the Homeopathic Hos
pital. 1t was few minutes before o'clock
when she took the poison, and at 6 o'clock
she passed away.
Coroner hewitt gave the necessary death

the hospital to the New York avenue house

The Man With the Hose,
iitor ~ The Evening Star.

To The Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your Issue Of the 18th a letter appeared
In your columns. entitled The Man With
the Hose" signed Anti-Soak. This party
CharacterZes a huse-handler as an idiot
and dangerous to pedestrians. If Anti-Soak
IS a taxpayer Of the District of Columbia
he uses poor judgment when he claims
the sprinkling Of streets is waste of wa
ter. The privilege OF using this water Is
very expensive and limited TO all citizens
OF this city. ] certainly cannot conceive
the idea OF Antt-Soak that any person would
deliberately turn the hose upon pedeS-
TRAN or be sprinkling the street with his
back TO the nozzle and his eyes uplifted TO
the third story OF his neighbours house.
The sprinkling OF the concrete streets OF
this city unquestionably prevents the ris-
ing Of offensive odors from our streets and
sewer basins and cools the atmosphere.
Anti-S0ak should move 10 the country or
have a consultation with the Commission
ers and make known to them the wilful
waste Of Potomac water in this city.

Five Months in Jail.

Daniel Diggs, who was arrested yester-
day on the charge of having a pistol con-
cealed on his person. was today convicted
in the Police Court and Judge Taylor fined
him $50 with the alternative of ninety days
in Jail. He was also fined $40 for assault
ing Detective Williams and as he did not
pay that sum will have to serve sixty days
additional.
The detective told the court that he
noticed a pistol sticking out of Diggs
pocket and put the prisoner under arrest.
Diggs quickly drew the weapon from his
pocket and snapped it in Williams face.
The pistol was fortunately not discharged
and Diggs at once cowed down and was
locked up without further difficulty.
