the grave and the offerings made by
their surviving relatives. The COM

A. NEW MoRGUE NEEDED.
The Views of Com missioner Ross and
the Health officer.

Among the many needs of the city of
Washington there is none more pressing
thar that for a suitable and commodious
morgue. in which to place the bodies OF
the dead which require keeping for time
for purposes of Identification or for au-
topsles by the Coroner.
The need of such an institution was
emphasized the other day when DR.. Glaze
brook was called upon to perform an au-
topsy upon the body of Miss Sallie Clay
Vile, the woman found dead in her rooms
in Street. The woman had been dead
some time when found, and after the re-
moval of the body to the rooli that does
service for morgue it YVES in an ad-
vanced stage OF decomposition. This room
is back of the Sixth precinct station
house and opens into the court in which
the back door of the stationhouse does.
In a letter to Commissioner Ross the
Superintendent of Police SAYS that at the
time of the autopsy upon The body the
doors coming from the room were such as
to practically drive the men from the
stationhouse until it was over. This fact,
the superintendent says, serves as very
strong argument for the construction of
a building specially adapted for the pur-
pose and removed from any stationhouse.
Major Sylvester regards it as entirely out
Of place for a morgue to be under the
windows of the sleeping rooms of a sta
tionhouse or that the dead house should
be constantly before the eyes and minds
of the men on duty as policemen. He
thirts it serves as an annoyance and
source of Generalization of men SO en-
ployed.
In speaking of the matter yesterday.
Commissioner Ross stated that the Com
missioners had been impressed for sew
eral years with the need of a suitable
place in which to place the dead in cases
OF emergency, and that they had repeat
eddy asked Congress for an appropriation
for the purpose of the purchase of lot
and the construction of a bGilding apart
from other public buildings. He stated
that another attempt would be made with
Congress at the next session in the hope
of better success.
Dr. Woodward. the Health officer, stated
that the present morgue is virtually part

Attorney Mullowny bond was fixed by

petitioned for bond in the sum of $500,
but Mr.. Mullowny demurred, saying that
it was expected that other cases against

for Divorce.

Ada Marshal F6wle, through her at
torney, Charles S. Wilson. yesterday filed
suit against her. husband. George Addi-
son Fowle. for divorce on the ground Of
cruelty. habitual drunkenness. and non
support. The parties, it is stated. were
married in Pennsylvania, August 9, 1888,
and soon after came to this city to live.
In December following her marriage to
the defendant, Mrs. Fowle alleges she
was compelled to leave him because OF
his cruelty to her She however returned
to live with him again in April. 1899.
Mrs. Fowle also declares that her hus-
band assaulted her with stick, and
knocked her down in the street and also
threatened to kill her with razor. A
few days ago while she was leaving the
Census office, Mrs Fowle alleges that her
husband met her and compelled her TO ac-
company him and forced her to cash two
checks signed by him, which she de-
clared were not honored by the bank on
which they were drawn.
The complainant asks to be allowed to
resume her maiden name.

Miss Mary A. Coleman and other prop
erty holders and residents in Thirty-sixth
Street northwest recently petitioned the
Commissioners that the railroad company
be enjoined from parking cars in that
street. The grounds for the request, as
set forth in the petition, are that the
privilege has been denied them in other
parts of the city, and that the parking
complained of blockades the street ard is
otherwise nuisance 10 the petitioners.
They say that an appeal to the company
is useless, as II has been tried and proved
TO be so.
Inspector L. P. Bradshaw, Of the En-
gineer Department, made an investigation
of the causes of the complaint and states
to the Commissioners that he brought the
matter to the attention of the superin-
tendent OF the railroad company and that
he obtained from him an admission that on
several occasions there was n congestion
of cars at this point, owing TO unavoid-
able accidents 10 the ears. Once. a.
Tbirty-second and Streets, said the
superintendent. there was an accident due
to a misplaced switch tearing OFF cars
pillow, and at another time in the same
locality because OF conductor rail drop
ping from position in the conduit, which
also caused a tie-up at that end of the
line. The superintendent, however, told
Mr.. Bradshaw that 1t is no part OF the
company's scheme Of operation to park
cars at this point or in any manner to
depart from the schedule In vogue. which
at the present time is a two-minute head
way and two minutes lay over except at
times when traffic is light IN the middle
of the day. when there is four minute
lay over.
Capt. II. C. Newcomer in transmitting
the report of the inspector to the Engi-
neer Commissioner. recommended that the
railroad company DE informed of the COM
plant and the Police Department be given
instructions TO prevent a recurrence OF
the practice complained OF.
This recommendation Captain Beach, the
Engineer Commissioner, has approved and
sent TO HIS associates.
