Tbo death of Sirs. J. J. Darlington Is

Many Unwelcome A lsltors,
"Look out for that bird!"
"Iliz-z, hip!" and a largo black object
that had been circling unsteadily in tho
night air fell with a resounding ker-blp
on tho sidewalk. Tho first exclamation
was uttered by ono of a party of ladles
who wero passing under tho bright
electric lights in front of tho National
Thcatro last night. Tho object that
caused tho exclamation was not a bird,
hut an immense grcenish-hiown Insect,
with spreading wings, whicli had been
dashing wildly against tho brilliant
lights. It had becomo disabled by Its
repeated efforts to encounter tho globe
bound flame, and In falling to tho side
walk mndo a loud buzzing noise.
Similar Incidents havo been of fre
quent occuncnco during tho past fow
nights, and several ladies havo almost
fainted as tlio result. A Oiutio ro
poller examined tho bug, and found it
to bo nearly or quite as largo as a hum
mine bird, with a largo, bcctlo-llko
head and greenish wings. Scattered on
tho neighboilng sldowalk and roadway
wcio scoics of its fellows, either crawl

Tho samo condition existed under many
of tho other electilo lights, and It was
learned that for several nights past the
city, especially along Pennsylvania
avenue, which is lighted by clcctiiclty,
has been invaded by theso huso insects,
As ynt but fow of tlio small fry such
as tho mayflies havo appeared, but
tho night air Is full of big, bird llko
fellows that buzz, and bumble about In
a very discomforting manner.

A rilENOII DETECTIVE. noanrirUL.
The Staten Inland Sulcldo Is Mot lie
lloveil to be Eyraud.
New Yoiik, April 25. A special
cablo telegram from Paris In to-day's
Herald says: There was, as may bo
imagined, a tremendous commotion at
tho Prefecture of Pollco when they read
the cablo concerning tho supposed sul
cldo of Eyraud. Tho Times corre
spondent called thero to-day and asked
wuat was uiougnt at it.
"Send for Mr. Houlier," said an
ofilcial, and presently, in olicdfcnco to
this order, a sharp-eyed, sharp.noscd
agent was shown in, who tuined out to
bo no other than one of tho detoctives
who traveled vainly all over America in
search of tho nssassin of Gouffe.
"There is the man," remarked his
supeiior oflicer, "who Is tully au
courant with tho case. Ask him what
ho thinks of tho story."
"Strango, very strangel" exclaimed
Houlier, finally shaking his head.
"First, if this body which they havo
found is really Eyraud's, why havo we
not received some direct notification of
the fact? Inspector Byrnes would
surely have cabled us, but we havo uot
had a word. Secondly, how does it
happen that there is tho slightest doubt
in tho minds of tho Now York authori
ties as to whether tho dead man Is Ey
raud or not? Tho dispatch says: 'But
lack of papers on tho corpse prevents
its absolute Identification.' Now, that
Is absuul. There nro certainly twenty
persons in New York City capahlo of
identifying tho murderer with absolute
ceitainty. Why havo they not done so?
Tho testimony of Mine. Martin alone,
of 28 Wnveily Place, would bo quite
sufficient to settlo the whole question.
Then, finally, why is nothing said of
tho many characteristic marks which
aie known to exist on Eyraud's body?
"Oh, no, I don't believe tho report.
You will find some farceur has been at
woik again and fabricated tho whole
story. I havo several reasons for doubt
ing that tho sulcido's body is that of
Eyraud. To begin with, thoro is no
reason to suppose that Eyraud remained
in tho vicinity of New York. On tho
contrary, wo havo every reason to be
lieve him to bo in quite another part of
Ameiica.
"Ho was never embarrassed for want
of money, which ho obtained cither by
trickery or from certain private sources.
Furthermoic, Eyraud is not tho sort of
man to take his own life. Ho would
lack tho couiage, and besides that if he
intended to commit sulcldo ho would
have done it sooner."

iDEAK EVANGELINE."
A Vagrant Colored Girl Left ltlcli hy

A coloicd maiden of 10 years of ago,
who applied for transportation to Balti
more at Police Headquarters yesterday
nf tcrno on, still hovered around thero
to-day. Sho gavo tho name of Evango
lino Brothers, and said that sho had
just como from Cincinnati. Lieu
tenant Swindles questioned her
very carefully and gathered Information
to tho effect that sho had beon loft a
fortuuo by a deceased unclo, but that
her guardian by the namo of
Smith had pui chased her a railroad
.ticket costing $10, and had personally
'absorbed tho balanco of the estate.
Evangeline's anxiety to got to Balti
more was to sco another unclo
whom sho said was on his
death-bed and from whom
fho expected to inhorit another fortune.
Sho was very clever, and earnod tho
sobriquet of "Mysteilous Evangcllno"
before sho got thiough. No ono asked

LAST DAY OF THE STAGE
SUCCESSFUL INAUGURATION
ANOTHER ELECTRIC ROAD.
or
Tho floorcotown nnd Tonnnllytown
Hallway Cnrs ltunnlnc Ileciilarly
Tho System hy Which tho Car nro
l'ropollod Explained,
For years two patient, reconciled
looking hoiscs havo, at melho Ileal
Intervals, struggled up or trotted don
tho steep hills that lie between Brldgo
sticet, Georgetown, nnd that pcacoful,
prosperous llttlo suburb known as
Tcnnallytown, Tcnallytown or Tenloy
town, according to your spelling humor.
These horses, driven by n weather
beaten old man, seemingly ns regardless
of tho flight of tlmo as his animals, havo
drawn what was known to tho residents
along tho route as tho "stago," but to
tho horseless and carrlagclcss inhab
itants as tho "sardine box."
It was a quaint old structuro, nnd
when tho rain heat In through its tat
tered covering on tho faces of tho pas
sengers or tho wind played havoc with
pretty girls' bangs all reference hy tho
old pcoplo to tho good old times was
effectually silenced. It has been said
that tho driver was patient, hut
ho was also obliging, and many a
tlmo has ho brought tho paregoric
from town which cured tho colic of
Tennallcytown babies and brought joy
to fond mothers' hearts. It mattered
not, cither, If passengers growled bo
causo tho stago spent a few minutes
beforo tho drue storo wlillo tho pro
scription was being mado up. So
obliging, Indeed, was tho old gentleman
that whenever some good woman with
eight or ten children came running after
tho stago sho would not bo refused ad
mittance, oven though tho vehlclo then
contained more than threo limes its le
gitimate complement of passengers.
But all this is changed now, and, ns
far as the greater portion of tho
Tcnnallytown road Ii concerned, tho
stago has been relegated to that limbo
of obsolete things mado necessary by tho
march of civilization, and it must bo
ndmittcd that tho residents aro unsrato-
ful enough to be overjoyed. Ycfitorday
tho stage mado its last through trip,
and to-day tho bright-looking and luxu
rious cars of the Georgetown and Tcn
nallytown Electric Railway aro flying
over tho road on schedulo time.
A tour of inspection was mado yes
terday afternoon, when, by invitation
of the hoard of directors, and accompa
nied by tlioso gentlemen and the offi
cers of tbo company, a largo
number of invited guests uudo the
trip over tho road as far as com
pleted, which Is just opposite
tlio beautifully-situated St. Alban's
Church. Returning to tho power
house tho paily examined tho immenso
building nnd machinciy, and highly
complimented -Messrs. G. W. Pierce
nnd W. S. Duckett, tho electricians in
charge of tho system, and who put in
Iho plant. These gentlemen courte
ously explained tho system, which is
substantially as follows: Tho cur
lent starts from a positive brush
of the generator nnd passes out to tho
overhead wires, over tho track, and
down through the trolley arm on tho
car to the motors under the
car body, and thencu to the raihi,
through tho car wheels, and
back to the stalion thiough a
ground wiro to tlio negative brush
of thogcnciator. Each car lakes ex
actly tho amount of current necessary
to develop the required power and no
more. Each rail is connected with tho
ground by a copper wire riveted to tho
rails. The speed of the car is regulated on
the front platform by moving a lover,
which operates a"ihcostat" under tho
car nnd gives any amount of power the
"motorman" may seo fit to use. The
cars are each supplied with two fif teon
hoisc power motors, one on each axle,
with direct gearing. Motois and
track arc entirely independent of tho
car bodies and can bo iltted to any car
body. Tho car has n main motor
switch on each end, easily reached hy
the motorman or conductor, and is used
Io shut oil tho current from tho motor,
should it be necessary to do so. There
Is also a reversing switch on each end,
so that tho car may bo run in cither di
rection or reversed suddenly in caso of
an emergency, or when life is In
danger by a person being on tho tiack
or otherwise. Thcso levois occupy but
little spaco nndaic similar to ordinary
brake handles.
Each car Is lighted by five electric in
candescent lamps which can bo turned
on at any tlmo by tho conductor. Tho
current at the station Is generated by a
dynamo driven by a steam cngiuc, and
there may ho ono or nny number of
djnamos "according to llio amount of
hoi so power leqiiircd on tho lino, de
pending ou grades, curves, or loads car
ried. ,
Tho generators for railway work are
usually of eighty horso power each and
any number of them may bo thrown
into action at tho station switch-hoard,
and me entirely under tho control of
tho electrician nt tho station. This
generator develops only tho
amount of power needed to op
erate the cars on tho line, aud
owing to its perfect regulation, absorbs
a corresponding amount of power from
tho steam engine.
Tho quantity of coal burned is pro
portional to tho work dono in moving
tho cats, and tho cost is said
to bo much cheaper than operating
roads by cablo or horses. Tho
regulation of tho dynamo is absolutely
automatic, and requires no nttcntion
from Iho man in charge. Tho gene
rator develops nn clcctro-mollvo foice
of 500 volts, which Is kept constant by
Iho lcgulationof the djnauio, and is
not dangerous to life.
Thero nro instruments on the switch
boaid at tbo station showing oxactly tlio
nmount of electric cm rent being used.
Thero nro also safety devices, includ
ing lightning arresters for each ma
chluo. Each car also has a lightulng
nirestcr which leads off tho
electilcity to tho ground should
tho ovcihcad who bo stiuek hy light
ning at any time. This system is that
of tho Thomson-Houston Electric Com
pany, nnd was regarded by many ex
put electricians present as ono of tho
most perfect In tho country.
After tho tour of tho power-houso
had been mado nn elaborate champagno
luncheon was seivcd In tho left wlug of
tho building, and every effort was
mado by General Drum, prosldont of
tho company, and tho ofilccis to uiako
their guests comfortable.
When tho inner man had bocn satis
fled tho cars wcro re-entered, nnd wero
soon back in Gcomelowu. Tho trcntlo-
men directly Interested In tho road hopo
to havo it completed to Tunuallytown
by tho first day of July. Sinco Its very
commencement thero havo been several
long delays and back-sets on account
of waiting for matcilal, Tho road
would havo been completed boforo now
had it not been for this. Tho routo Is
a very pretty one, and already a syndi
cate has been formed which will lay
tbo Tunlaw Heights property olT Into
lots and &l reels. Water-works and
electric Hi-lit systems will bo put In,
and Ills proposed to mako It n placo of
lcsldcnco for thoso who wish to seek
tho country.
Phenomenal has been the advanco In
properly along tho routo during tho past
year. In somo instances it has boon
sold for five times tho nmount pild
eighteen months ago. President Drum
has a farm near Tcnnallytown for
which ho paid $.187. Sinco then he
1 ns icfused many times that
t mount Mr. Washington Nallor
bos a tract of 400 acres boyond
Tcnnallytown. Lnst year ho offered to
fell it for $10,000. Yesterday ho re
fusal $100,000. Ho says ho Intends to
have tho under-brush cleared out and
let It bo used for picnic purposes. "I
don't need tho money," ho said, "and
it would do mo good to sea tho children
and young pcoplo enjoy themselves."
A road is being constructed from
Cabin John Brldgo to Rockvillo, which
will Intersect with tho Georgetown and
Tcnnallytown road at tho terminus,
thus giving a direct lino to this famous
resort. Tlio road will got their power
from tbo Georgetown nnd Tcnnally
town Railway power-house, and It has
about been decided to uso tho Thomson-Houston
electric system.

MURDEH0N A HIGHWAY
STARTLING RUMORS AS TO A MAN'S
DISAPPEARANCE.
Was .n. Ithlilell" Killed In Mount
Olivet Cemetery? Ho Took a ltoom
nt it Hotel and Then Disappeared.
Mysterious Circumstances.
Thero is a mystery surrounding tho
reported murder on tho Bladensburg
load which will havo to bo cleared up,
and what motive certain pcoplo havo In
Mipprcsslng tho circumstances ought to
be explained. Yesterday morning n
mnn who gave his namo nt tho
Iiowaid Houso as Oscar G. Rlddell,
hut did not register, paid for o break
fast, and enquired ns to tho cheapest
wuy lo get to Mount Olivet Cemetery.
Ho Elated to a Mr. Chapln (hat his
wlfo was buried thero, and Hint ho had
not visited her gravo for nlno j'ears.
About 10:30 o'clock Rlddell was seen
to get into n cab in front of tho National
Hotel, and tho supposition is that he
started lu tho direction of tho cemetery.
Ho has not been seen sinco, nnd tolo
crams havo been sent to his home In
Cordova, Sid., whero It is thought ho
camo from. Frank Frcdrlcks, an old
school companion, who Uvea nt 1820
Seventeenth street, is very anxious to
know what became of Rlddell, and
this morning ho visited nil the
public resorts on the Bladensburg
road trying to gather somo Infor
mation that would enlighten him.
Ho has been nblo only to gather ono
point nnd that is that ho visited tho
cemetery. A bouquet, purchased
from Clark Brothers, was found on the
grave; also a scrap of paper on which
wcro tbo words in lead pencil, "I did."
About 12 o'clock a telephone was
sent by Mr. Mcllcnry, tho janitor of
Mount Olivet Cemetery, to tho Eighth
Precinct, stating that a man had either
been seriously cut, or ho had rnadu au
effort to commit sulcldo. Tho man was
found in tho gutter near tho cemetery,
with somo very ugly gashes lu his faco
nnd neck, and tlio report has gained
credence that his name is Stuarnc, and
that ho was a farmer living at Belts
villc. Tho most suspicious part of tho
whole thing is that two men, whoso
names have not yet been obtalnod
came to tho front very suddenly and
offered to seo that tho man was prop
erly cared for. At this opportuno mo
ment a wagon which had evidently been
used for "delivery purposes, for tho
numo had been painted out, and tho two
letters E. S. were still to be seen on tlio
canvass, camo up, and it was proposed
by the mm that the unconscious body
be placed in tho convcj'ance.
No Eooner was tho proposition made
than the supposed farmer was picked
up n ml the statement made that they
were going to take him home. The
fntmcr who was token homo cannot be
found, and there sceins to ho an iucll
ration to the opinion that Rlddoll is
the mnn who was so very mj'steriously
spirited nway.
'1 ms does not, However, soivo Mr.
Riddcll's connection with tho Mount
Olivet Ccmeterj, and it is hard to draw
the conclusion without he attempted
sulcldo or was assaulted in tho
cemetery by unknown parties.
It is very evident, however, that a very
stiong effort is being mado to hush up
Iho whole affair, but Mr. Trcdrlcks
toys that there will bo an exposo In a
few days that will astonish people.
ANOTHEIt CANADIAN OUTKAGE.
Eleven Hundred Harrcls of Herrlui:
Throwu Into tho Sen,
New Yoiik, April 25. A special to
the Herald from St. Pierre, Miquclon,
says: Captain White of the schooner
Rapid Transit of Gloucester entcied
Fortune Bay last month under logls
tcr, with salt, to procure a cargo of
herring, having previously taken a
cargo of frozen herring to Boston
under bond. After his arrival ho was
hoauled by Customs Officer .Mulllngs,
who, on examining his papers and find
ing them correct, entered and cleared
Iho schooner coastwise, and domanded
tho duty on tho sail, which White paid.
He then authorized Captain Whlto to
load , White's former bond being redatcd
by Collector Clinton for that purpose.
Subsequently, when White's vessel
was ncaily loaded with herring, law
fully purchased, tho revenue steamer
Fiona arrived with iudgo and court.
Captain Whlto was summoned to ap
pear, and given thirty minutes to do
cidc whether to go to jail at Harbor
Billon for threo months nnd havo his
cargo confiscated or retain eichty barrels
of herring, tho quantity allowed fishing
vfsscle, and pay a llcenso fee. Captain
White icplied that ho would do neither;
hut being compelled to decldo accepted
ibe latter option, whereupon Captain
McGrath of the Fiona sent his crow and
Mirew overboard from the Rapid Transit
Iho cargo of 1,100 bauds of herring,
Captain Whlto stating to lilm nt tho
time, "Y. ou do this on your own re
HinnlMHtv "
Cnplaln'Whlto then paid $80 to the
court, instead of going to piison. In
Unsa excitement exists among tho
American captains nowhere on account
of Ibe nrbltrary ruling of tho court and
Iho destructiou of pi ivato property, in
volving serious loss and damago to tho
owners. Captain Whlto returns homo
with his empty vessel and thero will
seek redress for what he considers a
llngrant wrong and an act of Injustice
in lact, anotner fortune nay outrage.

A OUAItlTAItLE 1'ItAUD.
Huscally Proceeding of Certain Lone
Star Stalo CItlrens.
Nr.w Yokk, April 25. A special Io
the Herald from Paris, Texas, gives de
tails of n stupendous fraud which hns
been practiced in Stevens County, Kan
fas, upon tho charitable people of the
West. On account of short crops last
year many farmers were left In need of
the nccetsaiics of life. A relief com
mittco was formed and an appeal for
aid sent out. To this n generous re
sponse was received In tho shape of
provisions, clothing, etc. Tho 200 dls
ticssed families weio soon placed be
yond want.
Then, according to the Herald snecial,
a number of rascals managed to get pos
session of further suppllcs'as they camo
in, nnd actually oiganlzcd a stock com
pany to dispose of them nnd pocket tlio
proceeds. Theso men havo filled their
smokehouses, ciibs and cellars with
meat, coin, oats, whcit nnd potatoes,
given them by chaiitnblo strangers,
besides realiziug considerable money
on ni ticks which they sold. It is

WHAT THE GOSSIPS OF LONDON
ARE SAYING.
1'nrnell and Gosclion Tho Enellsh
flnvcrnment Disturbed Over tbrt
A Trlcitn Outlook Germany Trylnff
to (let n Foothold.
Londok, April 25. Tho Daily News
says Mr. Pnrncll will not accopt tho pro
posal of Mr, Goschcn because, oven If
tho clauses suggested should bo added
to tho hill, (hero would be no money
left to enable Ibcm to becomo operative.
It Is evident from tho tono of tho
English press generally that tho English
nro very much disturbed over tho now
aspect of nffairs in Africa. They dally
givo token of their perturbation, aud,
though somo of tbo government organs
profess lo minimize tbo African busi
ness and ridicule tho Idea that such a
mild-mannered man as Emln will bo ablo
to supplant English endeavors, yet It Is
plain Hint genuine surprise and alarm
has seized them. Accustomed to llttlo
opposition In colonial aggrandizement,
and that from interior powers, easily
silenced, England cannot reconcile her
self to tho new order of things. It has
come upon her like n shock that nny
plnns lor tlio quiet appropriation of
new territory, though the desired ac
quisition included half a continent,
should receive n sudden and decided
check.
Notwithstanding tho fact that sho hat
long recognized in Germany a colonial
opponent nnd n rival in tlio 'civilizing"
process which calmly takes over the
management of wholo countries on the
pica that civilization demands lt, nml
in splto of tho fact that English writers
havo frequently predicted "just such a
condition of nffnirs as tho present,
England cannot bring herself to bcllovo
that a power llko Germany is about to
enter upon a struggle with her for
supremacy in Africa.
Now the German writers have torn
nway Iho viil of philanthropy which
concealed tho real designs of tho Eng
lish Emin Relief Commission and
shown that tho committee's plans for
relieving Emln included his enrolment
ns n British agent. Tho rage of tho
English press at Emln's ingratitude
knows no bounds. At first this rago
expressed tttelf In plain language,
in which Emln was roundly
denounced, but moro recently they have
sought to conceal this feeling in affect
ing to dcsplso Emiu's ability. It Is
ciiiious that tho ill-feeling between the
two countries should crop out at thi3
time, while their respective presses are
busy cementing the renewed friendship
lectntly established between the young
Kaiser and his grondmother's govern
ment. The latest schemo uracil Is n concrcss
of nil the powers Interested in Africa,
which shall agiee upon a partition of
that continent. Tho proposal is put
foilh by English papeis as the best and
ouly possible amicable arrangement,
nnd neither England nor Germany wilt
bo HKcly to remain idlo while such a
piopositlon is being discussed. Hut
iho i-crnmblo for Afiica having fairly
begun tho strict observance of lespect
ho spheres of inlluence will probably
be disregarded.
