WASHINGTON BOY KILLED.
Stabbed Through the Heart in Alter
cation in PHILADELPHIA.

letter was received this morning by
Captain Boardman from Coroner Thomas
Dugan of Philadelphia. making inquiries of
the whereabouts of the relatives of a col
ored boy about eighteen years of age, who
was known to the Philadelphia police as
Kid Gibson, alias Washington, who was
murdered in that city Monday evening last.
The letter is as follows:
viii you kindly try ard locate a colored
family by the name of Gibson, supposed to
reside on Sd street between X and l. streets
northwest in your city. The reason why 1
make this request is that today an inquest
was held by me on the body of a colored boy
between seventeen and eighteen years of
age, known as Kid Gibson. alias Wash
ington. the latter name being given to him,
1t is said, because he came from Washing
ton.
In an alteration with colored boy
named Augustus Williams Monday evening,
September s. Gibson was stabbed through
the heart and died two hours later at the
Pennsylvania Hospital. No one seemed to
know his Christian name, and in order to
keep our records straight l make the above
request of you, and if any relatives are
found kindly state to them the facts as
given in this letter. We are anxious to get
his correct name and age, that they may
be entered on our docket"

WHERE CATS ARE WELCOME.
Stray Felines Prey Upon Rats and
Mice at the Capitol.

The Capitol building has recently been in
vaded by many stray cats. and according
to Mr.. George A. Rahm, secretary of the
Capitol police board. they are not unwel-
come invaders. Speaking of the matter to-
day, Mr.. Rahm said there are plenty OF
mice and rats in the Capitol and as con-
sequence the cats are encouraged by the
policemen and employees to enter the build
ing and make war on the pests. They are
petted by the guardians of the building and
employees generally Many of the cats gain
entrance to the building through the graf
lngs of the east front portico.
The Sub-basement of the Capitol contains
many rooms, corridors, hooks and corners
Vast quantities of coal and wood are stored
in the vaults under the pavements, Whlle
many thousands of books, pamphlets, odds
and ends of furniture, etc, are packed
away in the subterranean apartments. Ihe
opportunities of such shelter give the mice
and rats a fine chance to thrive aud to
increase and multiply. Capitol officials say
the lower floors of the building would soon
be overrun by the destructive little animals
were it not for the vagrant fellnes Which
come and go at will. The visits of the
cats are therefore welcomed.
There is one old 'mouser' which mas
been a regular nocturnal visitor to the
Capitol for more than five years. 1t is
gaunt gray cat and the policemen on night
duty have named it Dewey" owing to its
ability to make quick and sure work of the
foraging rats and mice
