Armenians tnat ROopan Dyeian was
murdered yesterday morning at his
home, 221 Erie Street.
Dyeian was found dead in bed. and the
coroner's jury returned a verdict of ac-
cidental asphyxiation. Sunday morning
and Monday night the family Of Victor
Nelson, which occupies the apartment
above, was awakened by a man making
a noise on the stairs. n each case the
man said he had made a mistake, and
left the doorway. Sunday morning the
man was found in the hallway at about
1890 O'Clock, and on Monday night he
again appeared at II o'clock. Who the
man was no one knew. This eircuHn-
stance leads some of the Armenians 90
believe that he was an assassin, who
turned on the gas which caused the
death of the young leader.
Suicide Idea Secuted.
"I feel certain that he did not commit
suicide or meet with accidental death,
said G. Sigician last night in the store
of Hagopian. II would not care 70 cause
alarm about the matter by sayhig that
his antagonists murdered him, hut HIS
death is suspicious He was a leader
Of the younger set in the old country,
and an intelligent fellow who was
forced to flee TO save his life about two
months ago. They threatened him, an6
he came to America"
Others expressed like opinions, and il
is believed the police win be asked to
make a more thorough investigation
Feud Among Armenians.
Until 1885 the Huntchagists worked in
harmony AT that time a faction led
by Altar was expelled from the society
because the older men believed Altar
was acting as a spy for the Sultan.
Since that time they have been fight
ing, and within the last month several
members Of the younger section Of the
party have been assassinated. 1t Is re-
ported that the society had headquar-
ters IN Boston and sent agents through
the country 10 murder their antagonists.

NOW IS THE TIME.

Take SCOTS Emulsion Of
Cod Liver Oil now. Not
next week or next month, but
now. You need It to put fat
on your bones and strength
in your body to stand the
cold and trying weather of
the next few months.
Nine-tenths of the popula-
ton would be benefited by
taking SCOTS Emulsion regu-
larly three times a day for a
month or more every fall to
fortify and strengthen the
system against the cold and
constant changes that occur
through the winter. The
benefit is particularly marked
with young, delicate children.
No FOOD that they can take
begins to compare with
SCOTS Emulsion.
Pure cod liver oil is scarce
but if you get SCOTS Emul-
sion you'll be sure to get only
the purest and oest oil.

suit Clingenpeel lies at the point Of death
with his head nearly severed from his body
and two bullet wounds in his back. while
Arthur is dead, with his side shot away
and his head nearly blown off.
Clingenpeel was Arthur's bond, and,
being responsible for alleged Irregularities

Of his land. Arthur, 1t is said, went to
Clingenpeers house yesterday and. meeting
the latters wife, fired three shots at her.
She ran screaming from the house and
Clingenpeel, hearing the noise, rushed to
her rescue, but, seeing Arthur with a pis-
toll. endeavored to retreat Two balls fired
by Arthur struck him in the back. Arthur
then caught up with Clingenpeel, and, as
the old man begged for mercy, slashed his
forearm from elbow to hand, nearly sever
ing his thumb. Arthur then dragged Cling
money and as Clingenpeel, exhausted fell
to the floor Arthur stuck a knife behind
Clingenpeers head and through his neck.
At. this point Clifton Franklin son-in-law

peePs calls, ran with q shotgun and shot
Arthur in the side. A few moments after

Leftwich, reached the place, and as Ar

ORDINANCE PASSED.
Town Council Grants Franchise to
Laurel Traction Company.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAUREL, Nd, April "a, 1903.
An ordinance granting permission to the
Laurel Traction Company, a corporation
chartered under the laws of Maryland, to
lay tracks on certain streets avenues, roads
and highways in the town Of Laurel for the
construction and operation of an electric
street passenger railway system, and grant,
ing permission to use electric motors, was
passed at special meeting of the town
council held last evening at the town hall
here. Mayor G. B. Timanus and Council
men Robert L. Frye, H. H. w. Thies. JAS
A. Brown George w. Waters, jr., and GIL
bert A. Haslup, president of the council
together with the committee appointed at
a meeting of the board of trade Of Laurel,
and representative citizens Of the town,
were present, as were MeSSrS Arthur B.
Eaton, attorney for the traction company
and Mr.. Edward T. Benton, jr.. one of the
promoters.
The committee of the board of trade sub
mitted to the town council an ordinance
embodying the suggestions and corrections
made at the meeting of the board held
Tuesday evening last. This instrument
was then read by the clerk and afterward
considered section by section. Practically
all of the sections of the ordinance were
agreed to by the representatives of the pro-
posed road as well as by the town council
w hen, however, the section was reached
that contained the amount of bond to be
filed for the faithful performance of the
ordinance a hitch occurred. AS prepared
by the board of trade committee, bond was
fixed in the sum of SO, 900. This figure was
named, it was stated, because considerably
more than one-half of the proposed road
would pass over the two. principal thor
oughfares of the town, which had cost the
municipality over $4,000 to improve. After
considerable discussion the amount was cut
down
Gil this sum was liked as the amount Of
bond.
Mr.. Eaton thereupon stated that he was
authorized by the company he represents
to give security only to the amount Of
5000. AS the bond was fixed at $4,000
by vote of the council Mr.. Eaton stated
that 1t was unnecessary to go any further
with the ordinance, as he could not accept
1t under those conditions. A recOnsidera-
ton of the bond was then voted, and upon
ballot the amount was fixed at 5000. The
ordinance was afterward passed as whole
By provision Of the ordinance work Is to
be begun within six months and be COM
pleted within two years from the date Of
the granting Of the privilege. 1t Is also
provided that the cars are to be run at
half-hour intervals, and the fare for a SIM
gle round trip or for any intermediate
point on the route be fixed at cents. The
rate of speed Of the cars was set at ten
miles an hour.
A section of the ordinance provides that
the instrument shall not be effective until
the plans and specifications shall have been
passed upon by an expert or experts and
concurred in by the council -

the 18th New York Heavy Artillery and the
I'd Light Battery Of Connecticut, between

depend upon conditions in the Caribbean at
the time. 1t is the intention that certain
vessels of the training ship squadron under
Rear Admiral Wise shall be joined to the
other squadrons to act as scouts or picket
ships. From the total force portion will
be detailed to represent an attacking force
approaching our coast, the remainder to
constitute the defense fleet, whose duty it
Will be to discover and destroy the attack
ing vessels.
