ORDERS FOR THE POLICE.
Action at Fires and in the Cases of
Certain Blind People.

In a general order issued yesterday
morning to the police lieutenants of the
various precincts. Major Sylvester called
attention 10 certain paragraphs in the PO-
lice Manual regarding the action of police
men in case OF fires The order was as fol-
lows:
Referring to paragraph 115 of the
Metropolitan Police Manual. the lieuten-
ant will direct. in case of alarm of fire
from within the limits of his precinct. to
use all available necessary force.
IF, upon arrival at such location, the
officer in command deems additional men
necessary, he will give notice of require
ments to any officer Of the Fire Depart
ment who may be in attendance, who I'M
der instructions from the honorable Com
missioners. will notify Police Headquar
ters by telephone OF the need for such ad-
ditional force as requested. which will be
called for by Headquarters, in the order
named in paragraph 115.
For example-Fire in First precinct,
notify First precinct to send all ayatla-
BILE force and Fourth precinct TO send two
Tor more if necessary. reserves to fire at
Eighth and G Streets northwest or mo-
tfy First precinct 10 send all available
force and F0urtn ana SlAIn pTeclHcIS ~
send reserves las many as may be needed.
to fire at Eighth and G Streets northwest.
I'm case of general alarm precincts will
respond as heretofore. The idea is to avoid
sending full forces on unnecessary runs.
that reserves in contiguous precincts who
are taking rest may not be called out un-
less their services are required.
The police have been directed to advise
all blind persons found in any way OBJ
structing the public thoroughfare to make
application for admission and employment
at the Asylum for the Blind. at 9l5 r
Street northwest Those persons who do
not comply will be required to quit yiolat-
ing the law.

did so he fell to his knees at her feet.
She noticed that-he was bleeding at the
breast The circumstances as related,
Mrs. Bradley stated. were all that occur
red in connection with the killing OF her
husband.
The defendants story Of the circum-
stances which led to the killing of Brad
ley was very different from that of the
deceased's wife. In fact. he contradicted
her in every material particular. Accord
ing TO his version of the affair he saw
Bradley and his wife leave a house on
Third Street where they had attended a
party. Bradley and his wife, LandOn said,
were quarreling and were cursing each
other. They did not go far together when
Bradley left his wife in the street.
Landcn approached Mrs. Bradley and
asked her il he might walk with her She
did not object and they started of to-
getber They had not proceeded far when
Mrs. Bradley said. DO you hear my hus-
band whis;ling?" and the next moment
Bradley appeared upon the scene. When
Mrs. Bradley saw her husband coming,
L2ndon testified that she said to him:
My husband has 2 stick and a razoc,
and upon being asked by Landon what he
intended to do with them, she said, He S
going to cut you
when Bradley reached Landon he i'm
nediately took hold of him by the collar
and began to beat him with the STICK
which he carried in his hand, at the same
time holding his other hand behind his
back. Believing that it was the intention
of Bradley to kill him Landon drew knife
from his pocket and stabbed him. AS he
did so Bradley let go his hold on him and
walked on after his wife.
When Bradley left. Landon said. he did
not know that he had killed him. The
witnesses on either side. TO a great eX-
tent. oorToborated the statements of the
defendant and Mrs. Bradley. Evidence
was also offered as to Landon's good repu-
tatiOn for peace.

THE cREMAToRY IN OPERATION
No One Hereafter Permitted to Damp
Papers i'm Vacant Lots.

The Street Cleaning Department has in
stalled a crematOry for the reception and
destruction OF all combustible articles OF
waste. such as paper, rags. etc. The
building is located at The foot of South
Capitol Street, place commonly known
as "Buzzard's Point" F. Z. EddingtOn is
the foreman in charge, but he is being
instructed in his new duties by Lewis
Tanener Of Baltimore. who has had long
experience in the matter OF conducting
crematory in Baltimore. Two negroes are
employed 10 dump the rubbish into the
huge furnaces and the work is quickly
and thoroughly accomplished. Hereafter
all persons found dumping any articles OF
cOmbustible character on vacant lots or
in any other place other than the Gre
matory will be subject to severe penalty.
Warner Stutler. Superintendent OF
Street Cleaning. stated this morning that
the establishment Of the crematoTy meant
much for the city, for hundreds Of resi-
dents are annually annoyed by the sight
of ugly rubbish heaps probably but a few
feet from their doors on some vacant lot
He also said that the CrematoTy to all
appearances would work in a very salts
factory manner. and that many dangers
TO health and property of the District are
wiped out by the adoption of the new, sys-
TEN Of dsposiug Of the City's rubbish. No
permit will be necessary for anyone de
string to dump waste to enter the Crema-

Tamarask mine. has a poor opinion of
American justice. Becoming suspicious Of
his wife, he quit work al midnight and re-
turning hcme found one Samuel Merz. a
countryman there. The aggrieved hus-

Merz Immediately swore out warrant

Advices from Pittsburg state that many
of the large railroads are complaining Sc
verely of the poor quality of steel rails
which have been furnished during the past
year or more. Pennsylvania engineers have
complained for a long time, but the demand
for rails has been so large that the manu-
facturers paid no attention to the COM
plants. The difficulty seems to have been
that the manufacturers, in their haste 10
fill orders, for which their customers were
continually calling, did not allow time
enough for the proper treatment of the
metal. SO that the steel is soft.
There is likely to be a merry time in pas
senger circles before the month closes If
the purpose of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western and the Wabash to establish a
fast passenger service between New York
and Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas City,
which will be the fastest service in the
country between the Missouri river and
New York, is carried out. The establish
ment OF fast service does not necessarily
throw down the gauntlet to other lines,
but the fact that it is determined to make
no extra charge, but apply differential
rates, is where the shoe is going to pinch.

Pay of Railway Agents.

Estimates made by old railroad men place
the number of agents affected by the anti
commission agreement at nearly $4,000. AL
most every one of these ticket agents has
suffered reduction in income of from 80
to so per cent. In order to restore to them
sufficient portion of the lost income to
enable them to live comfortably, some of
the Western railroads are considering a
plan of allowing percentages on the
amount of business DONE Another question
that has been receiving much attention
from the railroad traffic managers is the
retention of the travelling freight and pas
senger agents. At one time there was
quite a widespread sentiment in favor of
letting all of these agents go with the abo-
lition of ticket commissions The dominant
feeling now is said to be in favor OF the
retention of the travelling agents. The
Western roads particularly averse to
parting with their travelling agents. 1t is
estimated that 5000 travelling freight and
passenger agents are employed by the
railroads in this country The salaries of
these men will average about 800 a month
each. and their expenses are about as
much more.

limited States Investor.

United States Investor
The remarkable new line OF policy which
has been recently adopted by the hereto
fore ultra-conservative Pennsylvania Rail-
road, policy of expansion. has resulted in
an unusual amount Of interest being taken
in its securities. The joining of hands with
the Vanderbilts in purchasing an interest
in the Chesapeake & Ohio, the Baltimore
& Ohio and Long Island railroads, its buy
ing of control Of the Norfolk & Western
and Western New York G. Pennsylvania
are features of the eastern railroad situa-
ton which are of vast importance. The
latest report Of the intentions of this great
property is to the effect that the company
are about to issue $l00,000,0o0 collateral
trust mortgage covering the Western New
York e. Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania &
Northwestern, Allegheny Valley. Long Is
land Railroad and Lehigh Valley roads.
and that the latter property had been in
cluded through consent on the part of j.
p. Morgan & Co., who control the Packer
estate interest, and the close alliance which
now appears TO exist between Pennsylvania
and the Vanderbilts. 1t is even stated just
what price the minority interests in Lehigh
Valley are to be offered in the sale or ex-
change of their securities, and 1t is stated
that the deal will be carried out upon the
return from Europe of Mr.. Morgan.
The old story of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road securing a controlling interest in the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy has again
been revived. The officials of the former
company, however, state that as yet moth
ing has been done towards securing any of
the Western roads For years 1T has been
the policy of the Pennsylvania not to have
any financial interest in any of the lines
west of the Mississippi river. Under the
present administration a broader policy has
been established, and 1t Is thought that in
time the Pennsylvania will have consider
able to say in relation to the management
of the 90" Whether the Pennsylvania
will secure controlling interest in this
company or contract some traffic alliance,
is not definitely known. For the present,
however, nothing is TO be done in the mat
ter, and the two roads will continue TO be
operated in harmony with each other, as
has been the case for q number of years.

Tomorrow will be ladies' day.
On an average, the attendance is better in
Indianapolis than in any previous year.
1t may not be generally known, but Kelly
is the fastest runner on the Indianapolis
team. excepting Hartsel-
Manager Watkins placed Ace Stewart on
the pay roll yesterday, and he will be in
readiness to be used when called on
Sanders or Dammann will do the stick
work for Indianapolis this afternoon, while
Gear will likely pitch for Kansas City.
Powers's three hits yesterday all went
between short and third. and they were so
swift that neither fielder could get near
them.
Kelly's left thumb which was injured dur
ing practice Saturday. is very sore, and
Powers may continue to play first for a
day or two.
Seybold watches the third-baseman close
ly when at the bat. and when he catches
him back of the line drops bunt toward
third and generally beats 1T out.
Umpire Sheridan did not have much OPP
portunity to give Indianapolis the worst of
1t yesterday, except on balls and strikes,
as the team batted in most Of the scores.
The Indianapolis team plays at home UNI
til after May 30. when the first Western
"trip will be made. Following Kansas City
will come Milwaukee, Minneapolis and De-
troit.
Heydon had little too much strength in
his throwing arm yesterday and made wild
throws to second. This is something un-
usual for him, and he will likely not repeat
1t again this season.
Batting rallies are becoming frequent oc-
currences with the Indianapolis team. The
one in the third inning yesterday made the
game more interesting and the one in the
fifth inning placed the Indians In the lead.
Hartsels batting yesterday was surely
very pleasing. Owing to his ability to cover
the circuit in such short time he made a
home-run hit out of a drive that would
only have been good for three bases for an
ordinary runner.
For several games Indianapolis has start
ed off with handicap to overcome by the
opposing team making bunch of runs in
the first inning, but the Indians have been
equal to the emergency. They surely are
fighters, and not one of them has quitting
streak.
Schaefers errors at second yesterday
should not brand him as poor fielder, for
he is considered good man, but he was
not accustomed TO the remarkably fast
diamond at Washington Park and could not
handle the warm ones that come from the
Hoosiers bats.
Indianapolis is now i'm first place, and the
Indians will likely improve their lead be-
fore making the Western "trip. IL the
pitchers were in good condition il would be
hard to see where Indianapolis would ever
lose a game with the team batting and
fielding as II is now doing.
