BOYS CONFLICTING STORIES.
Declares His Father is Blind and Then
Contradicts Himself.

The board of children's guardians and
the police have on their hands a difficult
problem to solve in the person of a fifteen
year-old boy, who says that his name is
William Nutter, and that his home is at
Harrisonburg, Va.
The boy was arrested by Detective Harri-
son at the Pennsylvania depot Monday
afternoon While begging from passengers
in the waiting room by means of cards,
on which We're printed a statement to the
effect that the boys father was blind. He
has been at the house of detention since his
arrest Monday, in the hope that something
definite could be learned about him and his
parents. but as yet the police have been
unsuccessful in their efforts.
He has told number of conflicting state
ments, none of which fit together. Mr..
Zedd Copp, the probation officer of the
board of children's guardians, has spent
considerable time with the youth in an en-
deavor to get a true story from him, but
has met with no success.
Nutter explains that he had been visiting
an aunt at Cumberland and that he came
here Monday en- route to Gordonsville. Va,
where he was to meet his father who is
blind.
His father, he said. is forty-eight years
of age and has been blind for thirty-two
years. Since making that statement the
boy said that his father was an engineer
on the railroad fOr a number of years be-
fore he lost his sight. which would make
him about sixteen years old at the time
he was thus employed.
The boy will be arraigned in the Juvenile
Court tomorrow, and will probably be
placed in the temporary care of the board
of children'S guardians until something is
heard from his friends. A dispatch sent
by Captain Boardman to the police of Har-
risonburg Va, on the day of the boys ar
rest making inquiries about his father has
not yet been answered.

ROCKVILLE AND VICINITY.
General and Personal News From
Montgomery County's Capital.
ial CORRESPONDENCE Of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd. July 8, 1903.
1t was made known here today that Mrs.
Emma v. Carr. proprietress of the Cor
coran Hotel, and Mr.. Lawrence Flack were
quietly married in Alexandria July l. The
announcement caused great surprise.
Mr. Clinton Moore has been appointed
principal of the public school at Kensing
ton. Miss Marian Davis has been ap-
pointed principal of the school at Falkland.
At a meeting of the town council OF
Rockville, held last evening the tax rate
was definitely fixed at so cents on the 500,
being an increase Of % cents over the rate
of last year. The increase was found nee
essary in order to comply with the law in
regard to the sinking fund and the pay
ment of the interest on the towns bonded
Indebtedness, which law has not been fully
respected in the past. the additional tax
alton will increase the annual revenue of
the town by approximately 81. 100.
The board decided to make improvements
at the pumping station. new triplex
power pump will be purchased at once and
this will be used at tank yet to be erected.
The present pumping apparatus will pump
the water from the wells into the tank
Mr.. Leslie Maurice DAVIS and Miss Mabel
Alcinda Wildman, young ,|ashingtonians
were quietly married here this afternoon
by Rev. s. r. White of the Baptist Church
The groom gave his age as twenty-five and
that of the bride as eighteen.
Mrs. L. L. Nicholson and daughter, Miss
Blanche, have returned to Rockville from
a sojourn at Atlantic City
1t is regarded as possible that Rockville
may, after all, have its much-talked-of
wrapper factory. 1t was thought that the
movement had failed, but at a meeting of
the Rockville Business Mems Association
last evening action was taken which, it is
believed, insures the early establishment of
the enterprise. Such an establishment
would give employment to large number
of persons and would prove of great benefit
to the community generally
The Rockville base ball team journeyed
to Washington yesterday afternoon to play
game arranged with the Bureau Athletic
Club of that city. Upon reaching the
grounds of the latter the Rockville team
was informed that the game would have to
be called on, but no reason was assigned
The expense guarantee was, however made
good by the Washington team
Mrs. Wallace Welsh left yesterday to
visit her sons, Barnard and Robert Welsh
who are in the west She was accompa,
MED by her daughter. Miss Mary Welsh.
They expect to be absent about two
months.

SHOT WIFE IN DREAM
FRANK MANOLEY OF BALTIMORE
UNDER ARREST.
Tells Remarkable Story to the Coroner
Concerning the Killing Of
His Wife.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md. July Drank Man
Obey. twenty-six years Of age, shot and in
stantly killed his wife, Josephine Manoley,
the same age, at their home, 762 West
Hamburg street, early this morning. After
being arrested Manoley told the police that
both he and his wife were asleep In the
front second-story room when the shooting
occurred
The people who occupy the other part OF
the house did not hear the shooting, but
Mr.. Campbell, who lives next door heard
one shot. He told his wife and she told
him to make an investigation. He then
went to his yard and called several times
to Manoley. Finally the latter went into
his yard partly dressed and told his neigh
Dor that he had shot his wife while asleep.
Manoley then went out of the back way
and walked some distance down Hamburg
street until he met Patrolman Scheib to
whom he told the same story. The patrol
man returned to the house with ManOley
and found the woman lying dead on the
bed. Several other officers arrived by this
time, and Patrolman Scheib took Manoley
to the Western police station, where he was
locked up and charged with killing his wife.
The woman was shot in the forehead,
and the wound looks as though the four
bullets are imbedded in it at nearly the
same spot.
This afternoon the coroner made the fol-
lowing statement: Il had an awful dream.
1t was terrible. I saw men in my room.
One leaned over me. He had knife in
his hand. 1 saw it glitter. The scene was
vivid, sprang up in bed. My revolver was
under the pillow. Then l fired one, two,
three don't know how many times. Then
I woke. The noise did it. I turned, God.
The sight.
MY wife was lying close to me. She
was bleeding from wounds on her face.
Then 1 knew The terrible, awful truth
came to me. 1 had shot her in my dream.
Oh! oh! How terrible it all is"
Sobbing, moaning, and with tears flowing
down his face, the prisoner has given him
self up entirely to a passion Of grief that has
unnamed him. In the palms of his hands
are the marks where his finger nails have
been driven into the flesh in the intensity
of his grief
The Manoleys have two children, girl
three years old and baby boy five months
old. Neither of the children was awakened
by the shots. They were taken care Of by
neighbors. According to neighbors, both
Mr.. and Mrs. Manoley have excellent repu-
tations. He was always sober, and was
never known to drink. No cross or loud
words were ever heard to pass between
the two. Manoley and his wife came to
Baltimore from near Richmond, Va, about
two years ago. Manoley's father is a
Portuguese and his mother a Virginian,
and they live near Richmond.

OPINIONS RENDERED.
Mr.. Sinclair Takes Issue With DR..
Kicking.

Mr. A. Leftwich Sinclair, assistant cor
poration counsel, today submitted to the
Commissioners an opinion on the subject
of the communication of the Secretary OF
the Interior calling attention to the REFUSAL
of DR.. D. Percy Hickling, visiting physician
to the Washington Asylum Hospital, TO NIL
out certificates required by the superlntend-
ent of the Government Hospital for the In
sane, ST. Elizabeth, in certain cases. Sec
rotary Hitchcock requested that the Com
missioners give directions to have such GER
tificates properly filled out in each case
where, on the request of the Commission
ers, persons are accommodated at the gov
eminent hospital
At the suggestion of the board of char
tiles the matter was referred to the cor
poration counsel. Mr.. Sinclair says:
Il am of the opinion that the position
taken by Dr. Hickling is untenable, and
that no law can be found which will JUS
tfy the doctor in refusing to fill out the
certificates required by the superintendent
of the Government Hospital for the Insane,
as far as practicable, in cases where, upon
his recommendation, persons are trans
ferred from the Washington Asylum Hos
pital to the Government Hospital for the
Insane"
Mr.. Sinclair has also forwarded to the
Commissioners a legal opinion based upon
a communication from Health Officer
Woodward calling attention to the keeping
of unlicensed dogs by Mr.. SantuS Auth and
Nicholas Auth, and to the refusal of the
former to deliver the unlicensed dogs to the
poundma ster. He holds that the poundmas-
ter is without authority to seize the dogs,
unless they ARE found running at large
without the prescribed dog tag and that
both men may be prosecuted if they fail to
procure tax tags for each of the animals.
Corporation Counsel A B. Duvall has re-
turned to the Commissioners communi-
cation from Health officer Woodward re-
OueSting the prOmugat on of regulation
to be known as section ga of the regula-
tons for the government of diaries and
dairy farms. The regulation drafted by
Dr. Woodward, says Mr.. Duvall, appears
to be in good form, and if adopted would
be in his opinion effective in the accom-
plishment of the object desired.

MRS. JAS. G. BLAINE VERY ILL.
Her Condition Due to Old Age and a
General Breakdown.

special to the New York World from
Augusta, Me-. yesterday. says: The widow
of James B. Blaine is in critical condi-
tion and it is said this evening by near
relative that the end is hourly expected.
Mrs Blaine, who is nearly seventy-five
years old, has been in failing health for
three years. There is no actual disease,
and the physicians attribute her condition
to old age and general breakdown. At
her request nothing was given out to the
papers concerning her illness, and not UNI
til her children were suddenly called home
was it generally known here that she was
so i'll.
Her children-Mrs. Beale Mrs. Damrosch
and James G. Blaine-are at her bedside.
Mrs Blaine is very low, and while she
is resting comfortably tonight, the physi-
clans give us no hope for her recovery" 1t
was said at the house tonight.
