Repeats It's Demand for Funds.

In acknowledging the following contr,ku.
tons received through it's treasurer, Mr..
John Joy Edison, the Associated Charities
repeats that the recent mild weather has
not decreased its work perceptibly. Sick
ness, widowhood, lack of employment> mis-
fortune and other causes Of distress were
not removed by a few days of pleasant
temperature. The need of fuel continues
large, because needy families are Obliged
to have one fire for cooking and washing.
and this single fire is all that many have
in the coolest weather.
Subscriptions received during the first
fourteen days of February, 1903, were
M.77S.G3 less than the amount subscribed
during the same period in 1902 Unless the
deficiency can be made up and the neces-
sary additional amounts secured during the
next few weeks the usefulness of the Asso-
ciated Charities will be seriously impaired.
Small subscriptions are appreciated as
much as large ones.

Frank p Davey was arrested by the no.
lice about ten days ago because of peculiar
actions on his part. He imagined himself
to be a famous detective, it is said and
seemed to be laboring under the belief that
he had enemies who were about to Assault
him. One of the local detectives received a
letter from Davey telling him Of alleged
crooks who were in the city, and making
an offer to assist in landing them behind
the bars. When the detective accomnan:ed
Davey to the latters room he found that
Davey kept Ratchet under his pillow, and
he was placed under arrest shortly after
ward.
1t is stated that Davey was in Atlanta
Ga, about week prior to his arrest where
he created considerable excitement by str. X
ing man over the head with big stick
and subsequently shouting murder" ''i e.
and police from a housetop. This conduct
led to his arrest, and while in custody in
Atlanta, 1t is stated, he penned the follow
ing letter to Judge Nash Broyles of that
city:
Judge Broyles:

FRANK P. DAVEY.'

geons, who reported that he was Insane
and fit subject for treatment at the in
sane asylum. The doctors found that he
was suspicious of nearly everybody and
everything, and that he was liable to be
come violent. -

KING WINTER RULES
Washington in for a Very
Severe Cold Snap.
MERCURY DESCENDING
LIKELY TO 90 TO FIVE DEGREES
ABOVE ZERO.
Effects Of the Freeze on Poor of the
District - Suffering Pre-
dicted.
1ERCURY DESCENDING

Washington is now in it for cold snap
the coolest thus far this season, if the OFF,
cial prognosticators are to be relied upon.
And from the developments Of yesterday
and today the citizens Of the national cap
ital feel inclined to regard the statements
of the officials at the weather bureau with
confidence. Continued cold has prevailed
all day. Last night at 8 O'Clock the Their
mometer registered 81 degrees. At o'clock
this morning the indicator pointed to IS
degrees, and at ! o'clock this afternoon the
n ercury had dropped degrees lower. AT
the weather bureau it is stated the atmos-
phere will gradually grow colder, and that
by morning the mercury will probably
reach degrees above zero.rt
The cold spell will continue for about two
days, so the forecasters state, and no more
snow. is expected during the present storm
period. 1t is likely that the Potomac will
freeze up during the next two days, but it
is not expected that the river will overflow
its banks, was the case last season.
The only thing likely to bring about an
overflow in the near future, according to
the weather bureau officials, would be two
intervals, but it is stated there are no in
dications of any such doWnpours at this
time. G. no

Ices in the defense of Winchester Va, and
major in 1865, for good conduct and gallant
services during the war. While in the field
in Virginia in 1868 his battery was captured
and he, being wounded. was made prisoner
and taken to Richmond
In February 1864. he effected his escape
and reached the federal lines at Williams
burg. He was with his regiment in Penn
sylvania during the labor strikes in 1877.
and in October. 1880, he went abroad on
the training ship Saratoga acquiring pro-
fessional information. During the labor
troubles in Chicago in 1894 he had com
mand of the artillery battalion ordered to
that city. He became colonel of the LIST Ar
tillery by regular promotion in October.
1889, and served as brigadier general of
volunteers during the Spanish American
war
On the reorganization of the artillery arm
in March. 1901 he was made chief of ar
tillery and rendered excellent service in
improving the efficiency of that branch of
the service. Notwithstanding his increased
command and responsibilities, he was con-
tinued in the rank of colonel, until the pas
sage of the act creating the general staff
of the army, which provided among other
things that the chief of artillery should
serve es a member of that body and have
the rank, pay and allowances of brigadier
general
The efficiency record shows him to be an
able and jealous artillery officer.

The Oregon Boarded by Heavy Seas

The famous battleship Oregon had an ex-
perience in the China seas recently which
probably will do much toward confirming
the Judgment Of the naval construction
board in favor Of higher freeboard in the
battleship type. The great ship was board
ed simultaneously at the bow. the stern and
the waist by gigantic waves. These burst
through the ports and ammunition HOSTS,
flooded the dynamo room and burnt out the
dynamos, thus putting out all of the lights
At the same time the vessel rolled alarm
ingly., swinging thirty-five degrees and CIV
ing rise to the fear that she would turn
turtle. Fortunately no serious damage was
done.

ing rain and the cold wave then added its
forces to the southern elements, producing
fall of sleet. Late in the evening the
downfall changed to snow, and the ground
was covered with cold whiteness this morn
ing. Traffic on the street car lines was in
terfered with to a considerable extent last
night and some of the suburban residents
were delayed in reaching their desks in the
offices this morning on account of the snow
and sleet The cars have been running
regularly today, however.
A number of sleighs have been noticed
along the various streets of the city today,
and it is likely that before night many resi-
dents of Washington will take advantage
of the opportunity afforded for a sleigh
ride.
Effects on the Poor.
The poor of the city have perhaps felt the
effects of the wintry weather more keenly
than other residents in more fortunate cir
cumstances. The agents Of the Associated
Charities have been giving particular atten-
ton today to relieving the pressing needs
of the poor who report a scarcity Of fuel.
No cases of serious suffering account of
the cold have as yet come to public notice.
Secretary Weller of the Associated Chart
ties states that the public is likely to ex-
aggerate the distress caused by the cold.
The greatest amount of suffering he says,
occurs in the open winter, when sickness
prevails from various causes. The agents
have been able to supply fuel where needed,
weather are anticipated.
The coored man with the battered
clothes boiler, who usually wanders about
the streets looking for opportunities to put
away the load of coal in front of some
householders residence, was seen in an en-
tirely different occupation this morning. In
all parts of the city these men were OBJ
served armed with shovel and prepared
to clear away the snow. from the pave
merts at a stipulated price. The small boy
was not in evidence as a snow shoveler to-
day. The snow had been cemented to the
badly frozen to permit the younger genera
ton to clear it away effectively.
Clearing the Sidewalks.
There was to be noted one popularity in
the clearing of the pavements throughout
the city. On the north and west sides of
streets, where the suns rays first struck,
the work of removing the snow was accom-
plished bright and early in the greater
number of instances, while on the south
and east sides 1t was some hours later be-
fore it was cleared away.
In the business section nearly all the
pavements were free from snow by
o'clock, while in the residence section there
was great tardineSs, many premises not
having the snow removed at all.
The sidewalks were quite slippery early
this morning, and as result there were
many gymnastic exhibitions performed by
the residents of the city they started on
their way to their respective offices. Very
few serious effects from falls were report
ed, however. Special Policeman BENJAMIN
F. Hopper slipped on the ice about mid
night last night while on his rounds at 10Th
and c streets northeast. AS a result of a
very hard fall his right leg was broken,
and he was removed to the Emergency
Hospital in an ambulance.

Car Beyond Control.

A single passenger car that was making
flying shift caused a little alarm in the
Pennsylvania railroad station about noon
today. The car was cut loose from an en-
CINE near the outer end of the shed, and
when railroad employees saw 1t coming at
an apparently alarming rate of speed one
of them shouted for waiting passengers to
"look out" There was brakeman on the
car, but either the brakes refused to work
or there was ice enough on the tracks to
make the car slide, and the vehicle struck
the bumper with considerable force The
resistance was SO great that the bumper
did not yield to the pressure and the car,
was slightly damaged. The car did not
leave the tracks.
