The sudden death last week at the Wash
ington Asylum Hospital of young French
man, whose name was entered on the
records as Z. Louis AlexandrieuX, has
caused much speculation as to the young
mans identity and a request on the part
| of the medical authorities of the hospital
to have the records changed so as to make
the name read Eugene Louis Alexandra
Parpaix, which seems to have been his
| proper name. Alexandra, or Parpaix, was
reticent as TO his former history and cir
cumstances. but developments seem to in
dictate that he was a scion of noble house
of France, and concealed his identity from
| is one of the physicians of the hospital,
| said 10 representative for The Times:
The young man, when he applied for
| admission to the hospital, was afflicted
with erysipelas Of the face. He gave his
name as E. Louis AlexandrieuX, which
was entered, as stated, in order TO make
record. Meningitis developed and he died
the day after his admission. He did not
leave any message while on his sick bed,
and it appeared as II he tried to evade all
questions which were put to him regard
ing his place of nativity, parents, or
relatives. He could not help being aware
of the seriousness of his condition. There
was found in his possession small PEN
knife, a pair of eyeglasses, and a cheap
watch, but absolutely nothing which
might have led to the establishment of his
identity. The articles found on his per-
m p-ar In ppU
from the Central Union Mission. Some
time afterward this same gentlemen from
the mission, whose name ] do MOI know,
called on me and demanded that i should
change the name OF the dead man as it
was entered upon the records OF the hos
pital 10 Eugene Louis Alexandra Parpaix,
The mission man stated he had proof that
this was his right name. He, however,
failed TO produce the proof. replied that
/ had no authority to change the records
without being ordered TO do so by the
proper authorities"
"A few days ago" Dr. Hickling said. "a
young lady who said she was from Phila
delphia and the sister OF the dead man,
called on me and repeated the request 10
have the record changed. She had let
ter from the Charge d'Anaires of the
French Embassy. making the same demand.
She appeared so earnest and serioIs about
IL that she became very much deJectei and
disappointed when ! informed her of my
inability 10 comply with her request The
young lady, DR.. Hickling continued. ZAP
peared TO be highly cultured aud refined
person and was very anxious TO avoid
newspaper publicity. told her TO submit
her request in writing so that ! could re;er
il TO the attorney Of The Distric, for de-
cision.''
The deceased is said 10 be the eldest ron
of well-known family belonging TO the
old aTistocracy in France, and having been
guilty of youthful folly, which was looked
upon with disfavor by his family, was pre-
vailed upon by council Of the house To-
leave the country. The unfortunate young
man has Travelled ever since, and has
visited all parts OF the world, carrying his
secret with him and taking it to his grave.
The estate to which he was said to be an
heir is reported to be worth $4,000.

cepted the report of a committee consist
ing OF Judge c. c. Cole, John Joy Edison,

food. They expended about $1,000 for sup
plies, which were distributed among the
needy poor. No money was expended by
the association for anything other than
supplies. No salaries or other expenses
were incurred. and every case of actual
Necessity which came to it's attention was
BELIEVED, and the association believes that
very few. IL any. cases escaped its notice.
The organization obtained employment
for more than 400 men last year, made
more than 10000 visits to the needy, and
induced those who had never saved any
thing before TO save an aggregate OF over
81 400 during the last summer, to meet
any emergency that might arise this
winter.
The Citizens Relief Association makes
annual reports OF moneys received and
distributed to the District Commissioners.

THE SMELL MURDER CASE.
a Further Postponement to He Re
sisted by the Government.

II was rumored at the City Hall yester-
day that for some reason not explained
Benjamin H. Smell, charged with the muir
der OF Lizzie Weisenberger. would not be
put on trial on Thursday. AT the District
Attorneys Office. 1t was. horever. emphat-
ically stated that the Government is ready
TO proceed, and that there is no reason
why the case should be again postponed
even for day. In fact, the case of Frank
Turner and others, charged with criminal
assault, which was TO have been commenced
tomorrow, was postponed, because it was
feared that 1t would run over into Thurs
day, This is cited as an indication that
the District Attorney is leaving the way
clear for the commencement of the trial of
Smell on Thursday.
II will be recalled that when Justice Cla-
baugh denied the motion of SHELLS counsel
for postponement until next Monday, he
set the case peremptorily for trial on
Thursday, saying that he very reluctantly
granted 4 continuance because OF the al
legged illness of the father of the defendant
at his home in Georgia.
