Some weeks ago Dudley T Hassan
addressed the Commissioners, claim
ing that J. c. Scott had been injured
By falling on the ice on the sidewalk on
the south side Of G Street, between Eighth
and Ninth Streets northwest. He also
asked what action the Commissioners
would take in the premises.
The matter has been under considera-
ton for some time. and L P Bradshaw,
clerk of the Engineer Department. has
reported to the Commissioners that in
vestigatiOn has established the truth Of
the allegations as set forth in the letter
of Mr.. Hassan- Mr. Bradshaw SAYS. how

Commissioner MacfarIand today laid the
matter Of accepting the invitation of the
Director General of the Pan-Americau
Exposition to name date for District Of
! Columbia Day before his associates, and
the subject was discussed thoroughly
Mr.. Macfarland called the attention Of the
BOARD to the suggestions he had received
with reference to the date to be chosen,
several Of which were thought to be ap-
propriate. Most of them, however, were
regarded as too early, and it was sug-
gested that laler date than any Of those
named would probably suit the majority
of Washinstonians better.
1t was, therefore, suggested that some
day in September should be chosen for
! District Day, because the exposition
would then be at its best. and greater
number Of people could then visit Buffalo
for the reason that it is in the vacation
period These facts having come under
consideration, it was proposed that Tues
day, September 3, the day after Labor
Day, would be good date.
The plan Of having a date significant in
the history Of the District is not regarded
by the Commissioners as essential. as
these dates can be more appropriately Gel
ebrated here than in Buffalo The other
considerations seem to outweigh the his
toric date. and it IS understood that the
Commissioners viii cndeavor to have Sep
TENDER 8 agreed on as District of Cp7um-
bia Day by the exposition authorities If
this date should already have been chosen
another will have to be recommended.
The laws passed during the second ses-
sion OF the Fifty-sixth Congress. affecting
the District of Columbia. have been pub
Iished in book form, and are now ready
for distribution at the District Building
a departure has been made with reference
to these books this year They viii be
sold to those who want them at 81 each,
this being a nominal price to cover the
cost Of printing and binding The book
contains 36S pages and was compiled by
William F Myers, of the executive office
OF the Commissioners.

Train Wrecks Street Car.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 26.-
Fourteen persons were more or less
injured i'm a collision between a
Greenfield interurban car and a train
on the Belt railroad Sunday morning.
The conductor motioned the motor
man to come ahead at the Belt cross
ing. The freight engine with a
dozen cars were approaching, and as
the electric car reached the center of
the track the freight cars struck it
and threw it to the side of the track.
The electric car was new and of heavy
construction. 1t withStood the i'm
pact and was not crushed, otherwise
the death list would have been heavy.
The motorman and conductor were
thrown to the ground and badly
bruised. They were taken to their
homes. There were twelve passengers
on the car, nearly all from Greenfield,
coming to this city to take the Gin
cinnati excursion.

of South Bend to victory after the
city had for years been in the power
Of the republicans. His own ambi-
tion to become mayor was not real
lied, however, though he was repeat
edly elected chief of the fire depart
ment, this choice being often ratified
by republican councils.
He came to South Bend from the
East in the early '70s, with apparent
ly large means and reputation as a
woman-hater, a man of pronounced
character, capable of making bitter
enemies and attracting steadfaSt
friends. He engagdin the manufacture
erai times, supposedly by incendiaries.
He was great student of Masonic
lore, and accompanied Robert Morris
of Kentucky, founder of the order of
the Eastern Star, when that writer
was sent to the holy land for historic
al research by the Masonic bodies of
this country twenty or more ago.
The Masonic lodges raised $40, ZOO to
defray the expenses of that expedi-
ton.
Brusie had another distinction, that
of being seaman on the rebel ship
Alabama when it was sunk by the
Kearsarge in the harbor at Cherbourg,
France, having been urged to enlist
under pressure in England. His story
of that fight was most interesting.

JOSSEY ESCAPES TRIAL

TUCSON, A. t., August 28-B.
F. Jossey, United States Chinese
Inspector, was killed accidental
ly, at his home yesterday The
coroner's jury returned a verdict
of death by the accidental dis
charge of a gun. Jossey heard
a disturbance among his poultry,
took shot gun, and. attired in
his nightdress, went to investi-
gate. While he was mounting a
stepladder his gun was evidently
prematurely discharged.
The fact that he was accused
of completely in the United States
smuggling at Nogaies, Arizona,
aroused suspicious of suicide,
but these were absolutely dlspell-
ed by the evidence brought out
at the inquest.
Jossey came from Americas,
Ca, and was appointed to his
position under President Cleve-
land. He leaves widow and a
daughter eighteen years old.
His death releases him from
an embarrassing situation.

Inventor of Traction Engine.

LAPoRTE, Aug. PIT. G. Rey.
nolds, the wellknown jeweler and
school trustee at Westville, died sud-
denly of congestion of Lungs. He
was about Is years old and was one OF
the pioneers of LaPorte county. His
wife died several years ago, but he is
survived by two children, Emerson
Reynolds and Mrs. c. S. Herrold OF
Westville. The funeral services were
held Sunday afternoon at Westville.
An unusual fact in connection with
Mr.. Reynold S death is thathe had his
casket prepared many years ago and
kept it ready for the time when he
should require it for his last Journey.
Mr.. Reynolds invented the first
traction engine used in America, be-
sides considerable watch machinery.

Three Run Down by Limited

COLUMBIA CITY, Ind, Aug. 26.-On
Saturday night as Elmer Shirley,
Charles Fryover and Jesse Worden,
aged respectively twenty-nine, twenty
three and eighteen, were returning
from Columbia City to their homes
near CoesSe, about II O'Clock, they
were run down by the Pennsylvania
limited at crossing in the east part
of town. Shirley was instantly killed
and Worden was so seriously injured
that he died about three hours later.
Fryover escaped with some painful
bruises. The buggy in which they
were riding was completely demolish-
ed while the horse they were driving
was only slightly injured.

1t is high time for the -duncie
school of politics to be permanently
suspended nd the duty of closing it
devolves upon the republicans of the
state. Sufficient facts have come to
light to show that it is based solely
upon the commercialization of politi-
cal influence, that it teaches the pro-
fitable exploitation of the political
pull, and it has no honest right 70
exist. Starting with the lowest
township and city offices in Delaware
county, its roots have reached the
White House and its visible branches
have extended even to the islands be-
yond seas. The party ought not and
cannot sustain the burden of infamy
that has been placed upon it by its
Muncie leaders and their coadjutors
elsewhere.

Soda Fountain ExpIodes.

GARRET, Ind, Aug. 27-An acct
dent which cost one, and possibly two,
lives and damaged the drug store of
George OFT to some extent. occurred
at Ashley, Ind, eleven miles north
of this city, about O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. While charging the soda
fountain the drug clerk, Fred Nicoli.
made some error in mixing the gas,
and an explosion resulted. Pieces OF
the fountain were blown i'm all direct
ions, and one heavy portion struck
Nicoli on the head, killing him in
stantly. Another piece struck OFT,
the proprietor, rendering him I'M
conscious and possibly injuring him
fatally. Nicoli's head was crushed
and both arms were broken. Otis
recovery is doubtful, as. he sustained
internal injuries and was burned by
the gas. 10

RAILROAD CROSSINGS AGAIN.

There are indications that the peo-
pie VINO ask additional outlets across
the Pennsylvania railway are becom-
ing impatient over the long and un-
explained delays in the negotiations
with the company. There is some
talk Of employing an attorney to
give the matter attention in behalf of
the taxpayers and property owners
whose children are compelled to take
roundabout way to reach the schools
or else to resort TO the dangerous
expedient of crossing the tracks where
the streets ought to be but are not, and
whose property is made inaccessible
and inconvenient by the absolute bar
of long stretches of railroad uncrossed
by open streets
1t is a very grave injustice to the
public that this growing city is cut in
two in the middle by an impossible
Chinese wall having but two openings
i'm the distance of mile, and those
close together, and it should be
remedied. Miner street and Third
street ought to be thrown open to
traffic for teams as we'll as footmen,
and there is no legal obstacle in the
way. The only question is whether
the railway company or the city coun-
Gil is the stronger.
A more favorable opportunity than
the present will not occur again soon,
for now the company is doing con-
struction work through the city and
can with little expense to itself do its
part toward opening the streets, but
when its present work is completed it
viii be much more disinclined to dis
tnrb its roadway than it is now.
There is nc time to fritter away in
correspondence; the company will
write letters until doomsday if per-
mitted to do so; but the thing to do
is TO make the necessary orf.er and
then enforce it.
There are three reasons why the
Pennsylvania company opposes the
just demands of the people. First,
there will be slight expense involved:
second, there will be an increased
liability to accident; third, there will
be greater inconvenience to the COM
pany in handling its trains. These
are all selfish reasons and the sufficient
answer to all is that the interests of
the company must yield to the good
of the entire public. Besides, what
other city permits any railroad to oc-
cupy half-mile stretches in the very
heart of the town to the utter exclu-
sion and continual inconvenience of a
large part of the residents?
Plymouth has been very kind to its
railroads and has no other disposition
toward them now, but it will insist
upon its reasonable rights and resist
imposition.

church, commotion was caused by
the Rev. Father Moench, who STEP
ped to the entrance OF the cathedral
and stopped the funeral procession,
because the remains were accompanied
by delegation from the local lodge
of the independent Order of Foresters
of America.
He refused the Foresters admittance
to the church, and ordered them from
the church grounds. They complied
with his request, and then the rest of
the funeral party were allowed to
enter the church, where the services
were held. Many members of the
order are Catholics, and bitter feel
ing has been stirred up.
