SHAKE UPIN NEW YORK.

Police Commissioner Baker OF New
York resigned yesterday afternoon
after three brisk talks with Mayor
Gaynor. In Bakers place the mayor
put James G. Cropsey, a personal
friend and a Brooklyn lawyer, little
known to the politicians.
Frederick II. Bugher, first deputy
commissioner, handed in his resigna-
ton an hour or two before Commits
sioner Baker let 60. To succeed him
the rlayor named Clement j. Driscoll,
who, as commissioners OF weights and
measures. had been forcing tricky
shopkeepers to honest courses.
Charles w. Kirby, the second dep
uty. did not observe the formality OF
penning a resignation, but the mayor,
aware of Kirby's attitude, dispensed
with the paper and appointed as his
successor William j. Flynn, who has
been chief Of the Secret Service IN that
city for eleven years.
Immediately after the new executives
Of the department had convinced the
clerks and door tenders at police head
quarters that they were not practical
iokers, and that theNBaker admins
tration was actually over, they sal. down

Raylew A. C. of Washington on the
north Alfred street ground. Although
the Cardinals have been little late IN
getting started they will give their sup
porters good games during the remain
ing part OF the season as they Will play
only the best teams this vicinity can
afford and expect to win the champion
ship of this city and vicinity.
On Wednesday afternoon they will
journey to the Episcopal High School
where they will line up against their
only rivals, and as the Alexandria boys
won last season the school boys will
work their best to win, and those who
accompany the Cardinals will witness a
good game. i,
A regulation field has been marked
off and pipe goal posts erected; tits de-
cidedly the best football grounds Alex
andria has ever had. The locals we're
very much disappointed in not being
able to secure game for last Saturday,
but from now on the schedule is about
complete, and includes games with
Episcopal High School, Seamen Gun
ners, Fort Washington, Fort Hunt,
Fort Myer, Eastern College, Richmond
Blues and several other games pend
ing. The boys have been practicine
hard for couple Of weeks and expect

THE RRcEET MERGER.

The Fairfax Herald of this week mas
the following concerning the recent
aTbe directors OF the W., A. q Mt
Vernon. the W., A. & Falls Church,
and the Neutrality-suspicious. Eiec cn,V
railroads held meetings on tne IzIn
inst. the result of which was the mer-
cor Of the three roads. The wash
ington-Virginia road is new organlza,
t;on without one foot OF track, and
with probably not enough paid up cap
;tal to buy a two-cent postage stamp.
OF course, as stated, one OF the hrst
movements OF the new company Is said
~ he the issuance OF about $500, 900 OF
new capital stock.
THE water in this transaction
will be sufficient to relieve the heaviest
drought that eyer prevailed in this sec
ton, and will also serve TO swell the
fixed charges in the way OF dividends
on bogus investments. The absorption
of the Mt. Vernon and Falls Church
roads by the Washington Virginia road
is another case of the Dutch have
taken Holland'-the Mashington-Vir-
ginia road being the same as others IN
all except the name.
''The Richmond Virginian says that
this movement has no connection with
the plan of the Gould lines to build an
electric road from Richmond to Wash
ington. We adhere to the belief that
it is scheme to thwart that very OBJ
ect. to the great deteriment OF this
whole section of country.
''The cloven-foot will soon be revealed.
It will be surprising, indeed, if this
new combination does not speedily
pass around the hat for generous
contributions from the public in the
way OF free rights Of way and other
gifts, SO as to be in condition to WELD
a very hefty club in beating the Gould
line into terms. AS the object is not
one to command the approval OF peo-
pie who really have the interests OF the
country at heart, they should hesitate
before signing any contract giving away
their land for such an unworthy pur-
pose 1t would be well, before signing
anv contract, to await developments. "

mems Association OF Maryland, Vir-
einia and the District of Columbia, ana
lists OF names were presented showing
the men whom the dairymen and pro-
ducers claim are trying TO starve the
countrvman and the milkmaid.
Half a dozen government scientists IN
the boardroom at the hearing were
polnted out by Trundle, who claimed
that the alleged trust had EMBODIED these
gentlemen in its grasp so that their
minds are prejudiced toward the past
curling methods, which the dalrymen
claim are all right in the LABORATORY
but which will never be commercially
possible.
The attorney general today referred
the matter to Trust-Buster Kenyon,
who this afternoon said We Will

dealers to give the evidence they say
they possess and the case will be slited

A CONDUCTOR MURDERED.

NJ. NJ. Spence, yard conductor for
the Virginia Railway in Roanoke, was
murdered by an unidentified man at
noon yesterday in the western edge OF
town, and, although bloodhounds were
on the scene two hours after the kill
ing, they failed to take the Sc mt, and,
so far, there is no clue to the identity
of the conductors slayer. Spence was
seen l.Y fellow-workmen 10 minutes
before his dead body was discovered in
a pool Of blood with the iugular vein
severed and the face and hands cut into
ribbons.
One man says he saw Spence and
another man, whom he did not know,
walking together on the railroad yards,
earlier in the day, and that they were
quarrelng. There was evidence OF q
terrible struggle. Spence was married
two months ago to Miss Alice Hines,
who was stenographer to the city engi-

The Crippen Case.

London, Oct 21.-Afio, he had
undergone severe cross examination
at the hand, Of King's G. unset Il. ID.
Muir, Dr. II. II. Crippcn left the wit
ness stand today with apparent conf
dence that he had convinced the jury
Of his innocence,
Despite the circumstantial evidence
adduced against him by the crown, it
is unquestionably true that Crippen
made a favorable impression. Specta-
tors who have attended every session OF
the court declare their belief that it will
be impossible to convict the American
doctor-dentist on the charge OF
numbering Belle EImore, his wife.
Crippen concluded his story yesterday
and resumed the stand at today
session for cross-examination by the
kings counsel. He was perfectly cool
and self-possessed when he walked to
the stand and displayed no emotion as
Muir griled him regarding his story OF
his wife's flight.
Crippen adhered to every point in
the sensational story he told yesterday
and showed ready wit in foiling Muir s
attempts to trap him. Muir tried TO
force from Crippen an admission that
no one but himself could have buried
the remains OF human being in the
cellar OF his Hilldrop Crescent home.
1t has not been denied that pieces OF
human flesh were found, and the
crown has endeavored to show that
these we're from the body OF Mrs. Grip
pen. and that no one but Crippen could
have placed them where they were
found by Inspector Dew.
Crippen's apparent frankness made
hit with the spectators aud apparent
ly with the jurors.
MY wife and | were often away
from home on visits to other parts oil
England, and on the continent. he
said, land it would have been possible
for some one else to have placed the
flesh where it was found. | must adj
admit, though" he said. that this
seems very improbable. l have not
the slightest idea how came the flesh
there, and / have no theory that might
account for its presence. The thing Ii
as great mystery TO me as it is TO the
police"
The defense as soon as DR.. Crippen
left the stand, began examining various
medical experts, each OF whom swore
without qualification, that the alleged
scar found on the piece OF flesh in thu
Crippen home was not scar. 1t wa
by this testimony that the defense
hoped to break down the crowns sol'
hope Of identifying the body as that o
Mrs. Crippen.
1t has been testified that Mrs. Grip
pen, as result Of surgical operation
bore large scar on her body. Physl
clans for the crown have sworn that
on a piece Of the flesh disintered in tn
cellar Of the Crippen home a simila
scar was found. The defense's physi
clans swore that under no condition
could gland form on a scar, yet sucl
a growth had formed on the alleges
scar.

UNLETTERRD STREETS.

Strangers who visit Alexandria still
call attention to the fact that the
streets of this city have nothing in the
way OF signs on houses or lamp posts
to show the names of thoroughfares.

time ago, but the wheels of Legislation
seem 10 turn slowly in the matter.
