and was about to start, when large
wagon belonging to the government ex-
perimental station at Bethesda, Nd, crash
ed into it, smashing the window glass and
scattering the fragments about the car. Mr..
Fisher was sitting in the seat beside the
window which was broken, and a large
quantity of powdered glass lodged in his
eyes, rendering him for the time sightless.
Several passengers went to his assistance,
and with all possible speed he was brought
to Georgetown and taken to the home of
his brother, at 32d and n streets. DR.. Lew
is Mackall was summoned, and after sew
eraf hours of the most delicate work sue
ceeded in extracting the fragments of glass

NEW HOSPITAL BUILDING.
Episcopal Institution Preparing t
Erect Building to Cost $40 600.


The sixth annual report Of the Episcopal
Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital has just
been issued. During the past year 14,215
visits were made to the hospital by $3.50
patients. OF these 1893 were admitted for
hospital care or operations. There were 721
operations performed. an increase Of 246
over the previous year.
1t is pointed out that the most important
consideration at present is the need Of a
new hospital building. Mrs. John G. Parke
has sent a check for $4,000 as a contribu-
ton toward the building fund
During the year the building committee
recommended and the board of governors
accepted plans for the new hospital A
reasonably careful estimate of the cost of
the building to be erected on these plans,
in accordance with modern ideas In hos
pital construction, places the probable cost
Of the building, without furnishings, in ex-
cess Of $4,000. The sum of S13, 595. 40 Is on
deposit to the credit of the building fund.
1t Is considered reasonable to expect that
two-thirds of the cost Of the hospital can
said, should be on hand in cash and rep
resents, approximately, $50 600. Under
these circumstances, it is stated that &C
tive steps toward the construction of the
hospital are not warranted until 1900
shall have been added to the present cash
balance to the credit of the building fund.
The Importance of building at carly
date is urged from the standpoint of the
physicians and also from the standpoint
Of the business management Of the hos
pital,

COMMITS SUICIDE.
Clarence L. Alexander Takes Fatal
Dose Of Carbolic Acid.

Clarence L. Alexander committed suicide
in Baltimore yesterday afternoon by taking
carbolic acid. Before swallowing the fatal
dose ne wrote letter to his mother. who
lives in this city, telling her that domestic
troubles were too heavy to bear, and that
he would be dead by the time she received
the letter. He also requested that she visit
Baltimore and see that his body was given
a decent burial. in letter to a Baltimore
friend he suggested that his body be turned
over to the War Department for burial, In
case his friends would not inter it, as he
was Spanish war veteran.
Alexander told his wife Tuesday night
that he intended to take his life, but as he
had made a similar threat before she paid
no attention to what he said. He was on
Baltimore street when ne swallowed the
poison, and thirty minutes later he died in
the Franklin Square Hospital He had been
employed as a collector for a physician.

who is guilty has confessed"
"You seem to know a great deal
about this case," stammered Ellison.
''Much more, perhaps, than you
would care that I should know. The
person who calls himself your
brother is also involved"
'My brother-absurd!"
''Not so ludicrous as you imagine.
I shall deal with him later"
''You seem to have arranged
things to suit yourself" sneeringly.
81 am astonished at your impudence,
considering that you are a prescribed
man."
''That may be true," receiving the
statement coolly, ''but have little
business to transact on my cwn &C
count. Now young Barnett is free,
or soon will be, will you agree that
he is to marry your-well, the young
lady who is called Grace Ellison?"
Job watched the other as he paced
up and down the room. He finally
came to a standstill near where the
little man was seated.
'Why are you SO much interested?"
"That matters not; what I want is
your agreement in writing They
love each other, and so should be
allowed to marry. While they might
be able to dispense with your bless
ing, as the ostensible father, your
consent would not be out of place."
Ellison looked at his companion
doubtfully, as if wondering what he
could do in case of refusal.
"You know I never had anything
but a friendly feeling for the young
man." he said savagely.
''Such being the case, all you have
to do is to write line giving your
consent. Here is a piece Of paper,
and here is the pen," and, picking the
articles up from the desk before him,
he held them out.
"Why shouldn't I agree?" was the
thought that was running through
Ellison's mind. 81 can have this fell
low arrested before he has a chance
to leave the house-and he looks
dangerous So he picked up the pen
and wrote as directed.
Job looked the slip over, suggested
some changes, and then, as if sat
isfied, placed it away in his coat
pocket.
