of Many People.

Eva Thomas, a colored woman about
twenty years of age. jumped into the
river al the foot OF Thirty second Street,
Georgetown. last night shortly after s
O'Clock and was drowned The police are
at a loss to assign a cause for the act.
The remains were recovered by Harbor-
master Sutton, Captain Robinson, and
members of the police harbor boat crew,

late hour. The body now lies at the
morgue.
Those about the landing of the Potomac
Boat Club. in Georgetown, saw the woman,
accompanied by two children, 20 to the
waters edge. No particular attention was
paid to her. She entered a large scow
tied to the wharf adjacent to the boat
club landing, in plain view of score of
people and proceeded to make preparations
for death.
Several women, to whom Mrs. Thomas
is said TO have declared her intention to
end her life, hurried to the wharf, having
learned Of the earnestness of the threat.
Catching sight of one OF her would-be
rescuers, she quickly climbed to a railing
of the scow, gave a loud goodbye TO all,
and plunged into the river. Word was
sent to the police, and an officer was soon
on the scene. He sent for the crew of
the harbor boat and after dragging for
an hour, the tJJT was recovered in deep
water. a shor. distance down stream.

MOB LAW FOR A WOMAN.
Two Killed and Five Wounded in n
Riot at Gilman, Ill.

GILMAN. H., Aug 27.-As a result Of
an attempt to arrest Mrs. Charlotte
Wright, charged with the murder of Bessie
Falter, two persons are dead and five are
wounded.
The dead are: Michael Ryan. an Illinois
Central section man, shot through abdo-
men; John Myers, shot through the heart.
The wounded are: George Willoughby.
agent Standard Oil Company; Lawrence
Ryan, Mrs. Charlotte Wright, Peter Hauer,
and Dennis Carr. It is thought that the
TREE first named will die.
Mrs. Wright has lived in a small frame
building on the outskirts Of the village
and has borne an unenviable reputation for
years The warrant for her arrest was
placed in the hands OF Constable John
Milstead. who. accompanied by five or six
men, broke into the house. As they enter
ed two reports came from a shotgun. Ryan
received a wound in the abdomen from
which he died half an hour later.
The crowd had increased by this time.
and the mob was convinced that Ryan had
been killed by John Myers. who lived with
Mrs Wright They demanded that the
house be burned and within fifteen min
utes the house was in flames. When the
dwelling was finally ablaze a half-clad
woman was seen to rush out into the
SnruDDery. Inc men ureu into the SnruD-
berry q random and the fire was returned.
Il was then that Willoughby was shot.
Hauer also was picked up In the alley
back of the house. seriously wounded. The
courage OF the crowd abated after this.
but guards were posted around the shrub
berry.
At O'Clock Myers, revolver in hand. was
seen coming from the thicket. He ran
down the street until his flight was ar
rested by barbed wire fence. When the
crowd overlook him he drew his revolver
again and fired into the thick of the crowd.
Several in the crowd had rifles and a bull
let from one of these killed Myers the
next instant.
Meanwhile the thieket had been search
ed. In the centre lying beside shotgun
was found Mrs. Wright with a wound in
her head which it is believed will prove
mortal. The wounded woman was taken
to the village hall. The mob was so in
tent on securing her that guard was
pIaced about the building. While this
prevented a direct attack it did not deter
the crowd from firing bullets through the
doors and windows and into the wooden
walls.
Fearing that the building might be
burned. the authorities spirited the wound
ed woman away to the Illinois Central
tracks where an approaching passenger
train was tagged and the prisoner taken
to Paxton and then to the county jail at
Watseka. Mrs. Wright cannot recover.

HOT WAVES FORCE SPENT.
Cooling Freezes Promised by the
Weather Bureau.

There seems to be at hand a respite
from the torrfd weather that took new
hold On Washington last week. After
period of several days when thermometers
registered maximums that caused Wash
ingtonians to groan the showers predicted
for Monday by the Weather Bureau came
at the eleventh hour. and the result was
considerable drop in temperature.
Hope that the present change will be a
permanent one is bolstered up by pre-
diction issued last night. Moderate
weather Tuesday and Wednesday is the
part of the text which will be most pleas
ing.
Yesterday -as not quite as warm as
Sunday. but nevertheless the mercury in
the official instrument at the Weather Bu-
reau managed to find landing place on
the "a degree mark about 1 O'Clock in the
afternoon. Thermometers in other places
with reckless disregard of peoples feelings
registered anywhere between 9S and 10i
during the heated hours OF the day.
The humiGity of the atmosphere was
not so great as on days not long gone by
when the temperature was marked by
Sn4diSi injuries. anu as consequence tne
heat was not so oppressive.
Showers similar to those that visited
Washington last night were prevalent yes
terday in many parts OF the country. In
most places they preceded slight drops in
temperature.
The winds that will visit the Capital City
for day or so will come from the north
west quarter that nearly always pro-
duces cooling breezes. From the forecast
issued by the bureau last night it seems
safe to believe that cool weather will last
Tor few days at least. The public has
been betrayed into false hopes SO often re-
Gently that they may not take the opto-
mistie view of the situation enjoyed by
the Weather Bureau officials, who assert
that 1t is never very warm till the mer-
cuiy runs to 98 or 100.

scHARN MURDER MYSTERY.
The New York Police stiu Far From
n Clew.

NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-The detectives
who have been making strenuous efforts
to find the person who murdered Kathryn
Scharn at her home. at GA Second Avenue,
a week ago last Saturday night, are be-
ginning to realize that unless something
unexpected turns up the case is likely to
so down among ne long list of the city's
unsolyed murder mysteries. The body of
the girl was discovered at / O'Clock Sun
day morning a week ago, and from that
time on the efforts Of the police TO find the
murderer. or at least to throw some light
upon the mystery surrounding the death
of the murdered girl. have been unceasing
So far however their efforts appear TO
haev been futile. although there is pro-
bability that the police may have discov-
cred something having an important bear
ing on the case which they do not as yet
care to divulge.
Inspector Harley was at the East Thir-
ty-ffth Street station early this morning,
and seemed not whit discouraged in his
efforts to get to the bottom of the case
He said that he could report progress, bu:
that there were no developments to an
nounce as yet. The inspector is still work
ing along the lines of young Scharn's abili,
and this morning he said that it was COM
pletely shattered. Most of the energies OF
lne pOIlCe are now DenI on the suspicion
against young Scharn, but they are not
neglecting the other ends of the case.
The only arrests in the case were made
soon after the discovery of the girls body
Lincoln Eisenprice was arrested because
he had known the girl intimately for sew
eral years. but he offered an alib that was
impregnable. Eisenpriee was released in
S1.J0O bail He is, to all intents and pur-
poses, held as a witness. Young Scharn
however. did not fare as well as Eisenprice
Arrested first by the police upon mere y
precautionary grounds. he told so many
lies that suspicion OF having caused the
girls death was Immediately directed
against him. The police believed, and still
believe, that II Scharn is not the murderer
he knows more about the facts connected
with his sisters death than he cares to
tell.
Detectives who examined young Scharn
say that he could weave together a more
plausible mass Of fabrications than any
person they have talked to In a good while
The principal efforts of Inspector Harley
and his men have been directed toward
the breaking up of Scharn's alibi. In this
they have spcceeded very we'll, but there
are several points in his alibl which. hay-
ing been authenticated by his friends,
have proved stumbling blocks to the police
