A NORFOLK MYSTERY.
Man Who Used Double Names Was
Probably Murdered

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Norfolk last night says: -Four white
women and two men. whose names the po-
lice refuse to divulge, were arrested this
afternoon in connection with the death Of
C. r. Hunter alias j. T. Allen, who, as
stated in today's Sun. died last night as the
result Of blow on the head.
Though every effort has been made to
definitely establish the mans identity, the
police have up to this time been unsuccess-
full. Hunter said before his death that he
was native of Boston. Mass. Papers were
found showing that Hunter, or Allen, had
canvassed the eastern shore of Virginia So

Magazines, representing himself as agent

Savings Bank Hearing in Progress,

In connection with the case of the
American Savings Bank. hearing is in
progress before Justice Hagner in
Equity Court No. l, on the demurrer to the
bill filed by the receivers OF the bank to
compel the Union Surety and Guaranty
Company Of Philadelphia to surrender as
sets amounting to $4,000, alleged to have
been turned over to the surety companv
by the president of the American Savings
Bank the day after the bank suspended
payment.
The claim of the receivers Is that the
bank was hopelesAly insolvent and as the
vice president of the surety company was
the president OF the bank, the surety COM
pany was Of necessity in law aware of the
Insolvency of the bank and the payment re-
ferred to was, therefore, an unlawful pref
erence.
The surety company maintains that the
mere fact that one of its officers was an
officer of the bank Did not in law make II
aware Of the insolvency of the bank.

The Union Station Bill

Mr.. w. j. Frizzen. chairman of the rail-
port.
Your committee on steam railroads re-
specially report that December Is last the
House of Representatives passed the SEN
ate Dill for the erection of a union station
and the elimination of grade crossings with
several amendments, and the bill is now
being considered by a conference commit
tee
THE bill provides for the erection of q
grand monumental station fronting on Mas
sachusetts avenue to be approache from
the south through q tunnel under LIST
street east, according to plans on file in
the office of the Engineer Commissioner
1hese plans as far your committee can
learn, nave been under considera ton by
the railroad officials and the Engineer Com
missioner, the contention by the railroad
officials being that the grade of the tun-
mel should be on a level that would carry
the tracks over IL street at such an eleya-
ton as to require a reduction in the pres
ent street grade of about six feet at the
intersection of I'd street east The con-
tentloH by the Engineer Commissioner IA

MATTER OF DAMAGES

There was a small attendance at last
nights meeting of the Northeast Washing
ton Citizens Association held at Northeast
Temple. Because of the slim attendance the
call of committees was dispensed with and
President Tucker discussed the railroad BILL
The measure he said, has passed both
Houses of Congress, and there are still
some minor details which should be looked
after before the conference committee re-
ports. AS the bill now stands. he said, pro-
vision is made that people whose property
IS damaged by the change of grade are to
recover damages by entering suit for the
amounts. The association, he stated, rec
ommends that such damages be estimated
by commission. He said there will be be-
tween two hundred and three hundred of
such claims, and many of them will have to
be prosecuted by poor people who own their
homes. Such proceeding, he said, will
prove great hardship to many persons.
1t will also mean work for a jury for each
claim and an attorney to defend the suit on
behalf of the District. Nobody questions
the justice of the proposition advanced by
the association. he said, providing for the
appointment of commission, and it is the
hope of the members of the association that
the conference committee will make the
change.
Another recommendation of the associa-
ton provides for the curving of F sire IT.

one of the most important streets in the

Joy in Doing Our Duty.
BY REV. F. B. MEYER.

There is, without question, a
great amount of Joy in looking back
on duty when it is done. But at
first sight there may not be SO
much JOY in the doing,
When my duty is done ! lie on
the grass. if it be summer; or take
up some lighter literature as sink
into my easy chair by the hire, II u
be winter. But whilst doing ones
duty, there is the sense of RESPONSE
bility and strain. Can we show
that there is Joy in doing so prosaic
thing as duty?
Here, like all the sermon makers,
we must divide duty under three
divisions. The duty of our daily
calling, the duty of self-sacrifice,
the duty of helping God.
1t is good to have brains to do
your work.

He went at once to certain point

FARM NEWS, Springfield, 0.

1t is one of the leading monthly
agricultural papers in the United
States. 1t has reached the enormous
circulation of 100, 900 comics per month.
There are only two monthly agricul-
tural papers in the United States with
a larger circulation. Farm News was
established over 20 years ago and is
we'll and favorably known throughout
Jhe entire country, North and South,
as is demonstrated by the fact that
although published in Ohio, in which
state it has over 5000 subscribers, it
likewise has, for instance, from 5000
to ZOO subscribers in each of the fol-
lowing states: Missouri, Texas, Ten
nesssee and Kentucky, and just about
the same number respectively in New
York, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa,
and it has some subscribers in every
state and territory in the Union. The
paper is well edited as is attested by
the fact that it is widely quoted from
by contemporary farm papers and news
journals, and by the more important
fact that thousands of its subscribers
have continued as such year after year
for a long period Of time.
Subscription price, 80 cents per year.
