DEEP, DARK MYSTERY.
Switch Of Human Fair Discovered on
the Treasury Steps.

Treasury Department officials found a
deep mystery on the steps of the basement
entrance to the building at the northeast
corner OF the department yesterday morn
ing. The mystery fingers. and as the
watchmen have no police or detective pow
ers. or authority beyond their own building,
nothing has been done to bring the facts to
light. About daylight yesterday morning
the watchmen at the basement entrance
opposite the Riggs House opened the big.
massive doors and walked out into the fresh
air few minutes.
His feet struck something soft Looking
down he found switch of fine brown hair.
In several places on the steps were blood
spots.
When Captain Cobaugh, the captain of
the watch, reported for duty yesterday the
package of hair was turned over to him
and he now holds It. =
He investigated the blood Spots and the
conclusion in his mind was absolute that
woman had fallen down the steps the
night before, or had been knocked on the
head by some person while she was stand
ing on the steps.
Capt. Cobaugf's Investigations could not
go beyond his own building. The treasury
guards adj reported that there had been no
woman in the treasury building the night
before and that certainly NO woman went
out the doors at that point. All people
going in and out of the treasury after A
O'Clock In the afternoon must go out the
main door, where the captain or lieutenant
Of the watch Is stationed. So the hair
came from the head Of some woman who
had fallen or been knocked down the steps,
Captain Cobaugh called up the police de-
partment OF the city and gave them infor-
nation OF the find. Nothing had been re-
ported to them connecting the mysterious
switch with any tragedy of the night before
Nothing has yet been reported. Captain
Cobaugh still holds the switch.

SECRETARY SHAW IN NEW YORK
Believed That He is Investigating the

NEW YORK, March 11.-Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw arrived here today
from Washington. He visited the SUBJ
treasury shortly before the opening hour
and conferred briefly with Acting Assistant
Treasurer Dantz and Cashier Marlor The
secretary. 1t Is believed, has come here to
look into general financial conditions
The Secretary also conferred with Col
lector of Customs Stranahan. Concerning
his visit. Secretary Shaw said:
am not here especially to discuss
money questions with the bankers Thaye
no opinion to express regarding the situa-
ton The primary cause of my visit was
to discuss certain details of customs pro-
cedure with Collector Stranahan There Is
no question of bond interest anticipation
before me. In fact. know of no need for

Ing my stay, which will probably be quite
brief"
The Secretary intends to leave New York
tonight for the south on a pleasure trip
and return to Washington IN a week.
Secretary Shaw has gone to New York on
what Is described at the Treasury Depart
ment as personal business. but it Is pretty
well understood that the object Of his trip
Is to personally look into the money situa-
tton there. He has received numerous
probable dangers in the financial situation
While IT. Is well known that he will ex-
tend relief IL he deems 1t necessary he
has not so far concluded that the situa-
tios tustiies federal aid. A personal in
yestigation in New York may determine
him that some action Is necessary. in which
case he is likely to do something ON
the contrary, IL he ascertains that specu-
iation Is at the bottom Of the money strin-
Sehcy ne VIII not take any action.

En- CRITICAL CONDITION.
Joseph Brown Seriously Injured BY
Train in Anacostia Freight Yard.


Joseph Brown Seriously Injured by
Train in Anacostia Freight Yard.
A young man named Joseph Brown was
picked up blythe patrol wagon in the Ana
costa freight yard last night about 1880
O'Clock, he having been struck and severely
injured by a. train He was found in what
Is known as the north yard, and 1t Is be-
heved that a Baltimore and Ohio train
struck him. The ninth precinct police were
informed OF the accident by a stranger.
Brown was placed in the wagon and hur-
ried to tha Casualty Hospital, where the
physicians found his condition was extreme
ly critical. - His left foot was so badly
crushed that afnputation was rendered nee
essary. The mans lower jaw was frac-
tured and he had received numerous cuts
and bruises about his head and body. and
he was suffering from conclusion OF the
brain. He was IN an fnsensfble condition
when picked UP and was but partly con-
scious at intervals during the night.
It was not until after midnight that his
identity was known, and Mrs. Sullivan. his
sister, called at the hospital to see him.
She lives at % Patterson street. A brother
also called at the hospital before morning.
The police could not ascertain how the &C
cident happened. It Is believed that Brown
was either walking on the track or fell
from q freight train. There are no pas
senger trains on that branch Of the B. and
D. railroad.
The young man returned home q few
days ago after an absence from the city OF
about two years, and was stopping at the
home OF his sister on Patterson street. This
morning at the hospital it was stated that
his condition was still critical.

his autograph. He: said he wanted 1t in
