apartment Of Mrs Marmion, widow of DR..
Robert A. Marmion, at the Portner, sew
eral days ago, as stated in The Star at the
time, was recovered by Detectives Pratt
and Hewlett last night. 1t was found in
the possession of the siXteen-year- son

a pawnshop with the ring and the detec-
tives escorted him to police headquarters
to have him explain his possession of the
jewel, the identity of the boy not being
known.
Mrs. Marmion was summoned to head
quarters to look at the diamond and she
promptly identified 1t as her property. She
was then anxious to see the boy who had
been found with the ring in his possession
and she collapsed when her own son enter
ed the room. When she had partly re-
covered from her nervous shock she re-
quested that she be left alone with her
boy and daughter, the latter having ac-
companied her to police headquarters. At
ter a brief conversation Mrs. Marmion an
ncunced that the boy had merely taken the
ring to the dealer to have 1t valued.
Inspector BOardman and Lieut.. Peck were
perfectly satisfied with the explanation
made and Mrs. Marmion left the office with
her son and daughter. Mrs. Marmion is
the widow of DR.. Robert A. Marmion, for
mer surgeon general in the army. He died
suddenly few weeks ago.

AGED RESIDENT DEAD.
Mrs. Ellen Fealy Succumbs to Stroke
of Paralysis,

Mrs. Ellen Fealy, widow Of Thomas
Fealy, died early this morning at the resi-
dence Of her son-in-law, Mr.. Bernard j.
Waters, following a stroke of paralysis
which occurred few days ago. The de-
ceased did not regain consciousness after
the fatal seizure, and death resulted as
stated.
Mrs. Fealy was in her eighty-seventh
year. She was born in County Limerick,
Ireland, where she was married, and whore
her three eldest children were born. She
came with her husband and children to
this country in 1850, and shortly afterward
settled in this city. Her husband met his
death, with many others, in the explosion
at the arsenal December 10, 1865, which
occurred while some men were sorting am
munition brought back from the battle
the couple was then at Rhode Island ave-
nue. and 18th street, facing south on the
park, now known as Iowa Circle, which
property the deceased afterward sold.
Mrs. Fealy was regarded as woman OF
great strength of character and wonderful
piety, and was devoted to her family. All
her children survive her. They are: Mr.:
Dennis Fealy and Mrs. Nora Waters OF
this city; Brother Timothy Fealy. 8. j.,
attached to the Immaculate Conception
Church in Boston; Mr.. Thomas Feaiy and
Mr.. Patrick Fealy of this city; Sister Eu-
genia, assistant to the mother superior OF
the Sisters of Charity, and stationed at
Emmitsburg Md, the mother house OF
her order; Sister Mary Gabriel of the same
order, who has been for many years In
charge of the Home for Destitute Chill
dren in Boston, and Mrs. Mary Columbus
and Mrs katherine Lane of this city.
The long and unassuming life OF the de-
ceased was full of good deeds, and, while
her strength permitted, no exertion was
too great if a work of charity called her
or a service at church was being held.
While preparing to follow her lifelong
practice Of attending early mass last Sat-
urday morning her fatal illness began.
The ARRANGEMENTS for the funeral were
not completed today, but grandson OF
the deceased, Rev. Ignatius Fealy, assist
ant pastor of St. Josephs Church, on Cap.

ACTION BY COMMISSIONERS
Decision to Close Fifty-Five Shallow
Wells at Once.

Wells at Once.
The Commissioners have decided that fifty
five of the sixty-three shallow public wells
must be closed at once in order that there
may be no possibility Of the alleged pol
luted water causing disease. They agree
to allow to remain open three wells, located
at 18th street and Florida avenue, North
Capitol and Randolph street and Quincy
street between 18th and 18th streets north
east, which the investigation of the United
States public health and marine hospital
service showed to contain water with no
evidence of contamination, and five other
wells located in various parts of the city
where Potomac water cannot be furnished.
Capt. William Kelly, assistant to the En-
gineer Commissioner, reported that wells
on Massachusetts avenue near Wiscon-
sin avenue Hamilton road southeast, Stan
ton avenue and Morris road southeast and
10th and Joliet streets southeast are
In sections not supplied with Potomac
water.
In his recommendation, in which Commits
sioners West and Morrow concur, Commits
sioner Mcfarland says: I'm accordance
with the agreement Of the Commissioners
move that the Commissioners adhere to
their order closing the shallow public wells,
with the exception of the three pronounced
good by the United States public health
and marine hospital service at 18th street
and Florida avenue. North Capitol and
Randolph streets and Quincy between 18th
and 18th streets northeast, and the five
enumerated by the Engineer Commissioner
as too far from water mains to enable the
substitution of hydrants. 1 move that these
eight wells be kept under strict supervision
and be closed If they become so dangerous
that it is necessary to do SO. The special
reason for recommending that the five wells
removed from water mains be kept open
is that the water is needed in case of fire
as well as for all the other needs Of the
immediate neighborhoods, which have no
water supply.
Il also recommend that the Commission
ers take up in connection with the prep
aratiOn of the estimates the question of
substituting deep driven wells for shallow
public wells in such cases as they may
think it necessary to do So
