ACCUSED OF HARNESS THEFTs.
Four Men Held by the Police Pend
ing Investigation.

Four men are now under arrest because
OF recent robberies of hurness, much of
which property has been recovered by de-
tectives. They are Charles f. HILL har-
nessmaker, at Tenth Street and Louisiana
Avenue northwest, charged with receiy-
ing stolen goods; George Jackson. Thomas
Brown. and Frank Dorsey, all colored,
who are held on several charges of petty
larceny each. Brown and Dorsey were ar
rested yesterday morning, while Hill and
Jackson were arrested last night.
II was through the alleged confession
of Brown that Hill and Jackson were ar
rested, and much Of the missing harness
recovered The search for additional prep
erty will be continued this morning, when
It IS said, the detectives will visit Hills
store for second time. Brown and Dor
sey fell into the hands OF the police while
mounted on an ash wagon, and an exami-
nation showed a set OF harness stolen from
the stable of Levi Woodbury.. proprietor
of the St. James Hotel, buried beneath
other goods In the wagon. Both negroes
were locked up, and the other arrests fol-
lowed in short order
After all the prisoners were in custody
several sets of harness. said to have been
stolen, were found among the stock at
Hills store, and alterations, it is said,
were apparent in a portion of the goods.
The harness was taken to headquarters
where two sets are said TO have been
identified by owners last night The re-
mainder Is held for Identification. More
than twenty complaints of loss of harness
by theft have been received in the past
month, and efforts by the detectives are
directed toward fastening as many spe-
cific charges on the negro prisoners as
possible. Hill says he bought the har-
ness without knowing it was stolen. He
has been in business here about five
years.

CLAIMs TO BE JOHN HOWARD.
The Identity of Alleged Safe blower
I'm Doubt

There is yet doubt as 10 the identity of
the man at the Emergency Hospital who
accompanied Charles FOulke. safebiower,
when he received fatal injuries near the
Virginia Midland Railroad crossing, in
Alexandria County. several days ago The
patient now says his name is John Howard
and his home is 20 - Fremont Street,
Boston, Mass. His condition Is serious
and little can yet be learned from him.
The Identification of the body in the
morgue, now said TO be that OF FoLlke,
was made Tuesday night by young man
named Shook, and others. and the de
tectiyes do not think there is any doubt
as to the reliability of the iDforma Ion.
The remains will be held at the morgue
for several days. so that any possible
facts not now known may come TO light.
Unless claimed by friends IL will then be
buried In potters' field.

Gently requested the Commissioners to
send to the committee Information as to
the streets and avenues which are to be
extended, and for the extension of which
condemnation proceedings have been en-
tered, which will be affe .ted by the pend
ing decision of the Supr, ME Court in the

In reply the Commissioners have sent a
table showing the names of the streets af-
fected. the date OF award, damages award
ed, and benefits assessed. in the several
cases which remain yet unconfrmed by
the court. They also inform Mr.. Moore
that on Columbia Road. east of Thirteenth

Commissioner Beach. In charge OF the
Engineer Department, has had under con-
sideration for some time the Strengthening
of the lines OF the tract purchased for the
Municipal Hospital site so as to make
them conform with the streets. The site
rs purchased last year from the Rupert
estate had the boundaries of the original
farm, which in some cases ran diagonally
across the lines laid down in The street
extension plan.
For instance, on the south side OF the
tract the boundary runs for some distance
nearly parallel with Richmond Street, and
finally crosses that street near its inter
section with Fourteenth Street. This
leaves a narrow strip of ground between
the south line OF the hospital site and
Richmond Street, of about 10000 square
feet.
A few days ago a representative Of the
owner Of this narrow strip offered to sell
IL 10 the District at the rate of % cents
o square foot, and at the same time to
dedicate to the District enough additional
land to form the street. This would bring
the actual price of all the land to about
s cents a square foot. Commissioner
Beach thought this a very advantag eous
the same.
Yesterday he offered a motion to tho
board that the offer to sell the strip of
land described made by the agent of the
Heitmnller estate be accepted, payment to
be made from the balance of the appro
priation for the purchase Of the Municipal
Hospital site.
1t will be recalled in this connection
that Congress at its last session made an
appropriation Of 500 0000 TO purchase the
ground on which TO locate a Municipal
Hospital. After the examination of many
tracts OF land offered in various parts OF
Che District the Commissioners finally
bought a part OF the Rupert estate for
&63 600, leaving a considerable balance
sitter all expenses of the purchase were
paid
Three new cases Of smallpox were re-
ported to the Health Department. two
from the southeast section and one from
the northwest section of the city. After
investigation it was found that Henry
Cant. a colored man residing at PA Sea-
Ton alley, had developed the disease, and
he was removed TO the smallpox hos
pital, the premises being placed under
quarantine.
The other cases were those of two
colored young women, Hattie Gorbin and
Annie Thomas. living at 1907 Kings
Court southeast. The square in which
this court is is bounded by Fourteenth.
Fifteenth, aud c Streets. Both the
young women were taken to the smallpox
hospital yesterday afternoon. and the
house in which they wera III was placed
under quarantine.
The inspectors were unable to trace
the contaci0n in any OF these cases, but
st is thought that they must have come
in contact with some OF the other col
ored people who have had tine disease
during the past month.

Mr.. w. o. Smith ia anxious for the

support the removal of the, affairs Of
the Settlement from the Board OF

imbued with these virtues which is
the need OF the time to win the
confidence of the residents. A man
who is guided by conscisnce rather
than expediency, man who is con-

sire of popularity and a man who
will walk 10 the path Of duty and
not of self-interest to be superinten-

Ed. The INDEPENDENTS: -
Dear Sr:-There are soma strange
reports circulating around, about
the peculiar business methods of
some OF the business men OF Homo

1t is reported that there ia one
man in particular-a real estate
agent, who will neither settle up
the business that has been intrusted
TO his care, or refund the money
that he holds in trust for his client,
or even render him statement of
account.
Is this the way business is generally
conducted in Honolulu IL 80, it
does not redounsd to the credit OF
the business men OF that town, or is
it likely to bring boom in the real
estate OF Honolulu. l remain,
