Tfoore Appointed to Succeed ' ITajor Walker. ? Fp to 12 o'clock to-day i-onjectures as to who r would be the new major and superintendent oC police were still in order. A little after that hour i the District Commissioners got together to have a final conference on the subject, and as a result made an order "That William O. Moore is appointed to the omce of major and superintendent of the Metropolitan police force of the District of Columbia, vice Samuel H. Walker, resigned, to take effect from tills date." A copy of this order a* was sent at once to CoL Moore, with instructions to him to report to the commissioners to-morrow *n" morning and assume the duties of his new offi' e. i?" Col. Wm. G. Moore, the newly appointed major .i* and superintend* nt,. Is one of the best known cltlzensof Washington. He is a native of this city and about f>2 years old. His face and . ' form are well known through his prominence 1 for many years in the military organizations of ,t he District. He is tall, and has a erect and spare "i military figure, and wears a heavy gray moustache , * and goatee. He learned the printer's trade ' when a boy in the office of the old National Jntrllif/encr, subsequently he was sent as a reporter of the National Jn~ ." trWfjencf-r to the House of Representatives 1 Just prior to the war he was employed V' uruler Gen. Meigs, who was then in charge i&i or Public works here. At the outbreak ol Vp the war he enlisted with the old National Kifles in the federal service, and Upon the close of the term of enlistment was ordered to duty in the War department. He was afterwards nJT made assistant adjutant general with the rank of els major, and after Mr. Johnson became President was detailed to the White House as one P? of the President's secretaries. He was aplts pointed then to a place in the pay corps of the army, and did duty in this capacity out west ,ss until 1870, when he resigned and entered ?>- business here with ex-Gov. Shepherd. Y About eleven years ago he dissolved ls partnership with ex-Governor Shepherd, and entered the service of the National Metropolitan bank. He has been In the employ ol that lnstltntlon ever since. <*3 Col. Moore, upon the reorganization of the Washington Light Infantry corps, in 1870, was elected .e(J captain of company A, and when a battalion was ,lf organized he was chosen as lieutenant colonel, a position he still holds. ,'y Col. Moore had just received notice of his ap, of point ment by telephone when a Star reporter saw him at. the bank this afternoon. "I cannot say __ now," lie said, "whether 1 11 accept or not. I'll " see the commissioners In the morning."' ?r Col. Moore was asked to take the place when j.; Major Walker was appointed, but declined. He will accept now, it Is said, having been urged by Ills friends to do so. cl| The office pays a salary of $2,600, and has an allowance of $240 a year for a house. The salary will hardly compensate Col. Moore for giving up his present employment, but it is said the Commissioners will endeavor to have the amount lnird creased. to- * * Capitol Topics.

Walker, when the officer arrived, stepped up to the lieutenant and said: "I suppose you know me; I am Major Walker's brother. I'll go with you quietly." The lieutenant took Walker to the station-house and locked him up. The wounded man was taken into the drug store on the corner and remained then- until the patrol wagon arrived and conveyed him to the Emergency hospital. what walker says. Walker stated to a Star reporter that he had for a long time been annoyed by Insulting letters reflecting upon the character of his wire. Some of these letters were anonymous, others bore the signature of the wounded man. He had also been threatened with violence, and finally had Miller bound over to keep the peace. He says that he had no Intention of killing Miller, but had avoided meeting him for fear ot a personal encounter. He did not enter Evans' dining rooms because he supposed that Miller was there and did not wish to meet him. Turning around where he stood he saw Miller coming towards him on F street.

While lying on a cot in the hospital the injured man said that Walker had blackmailed him and put him in a position where he was obliged to tell what he knew. "I faced the music well.'' he said.

He said he would have killed W alker if he had a chance. the wocnd3. Dr. Dudley Morgan, who assisted the wounded man to the dispensary, told a star reporter that one shot, which went through the abdomen, probably penetrated the liver, and may have also touched tne lower lobe or one of the lungs. As Miller spit some blood, It Is probable that the latter conjecture Is correct. Tne chances are that the wounded man will die. Friends of the injured man called to seen him, and at his request, telegraphed to his wife, who la living at No. 1'219 Floyd street, Louisville. the parties to thh tragedt. Miller, who is about 35 years old, and a patent attorney and stenographer, is quite well known among the claim agents of the city, having been at various times in the employ of Mr. Alexander, N. H.

Walker Is about 40 years old, is a brother of ex-Major and Chief of Polce Walker Miller, while in the drug store, said: "He sent his wife after me, as he has after many others." When Walker was separated from Miller and the revolver seized, he exclaimed to the bystanders: "I am right. He has ruined my family." the stort of eye-witnesses. James Morrison, an old colored man, stated to a Star reporter that he was standing two doors away from No. 912 F street when the first shot was fired. Looking around he saw Miller throw up his arms and spin around on his feet "like a top." He soon recovered himself and advanced upon Walker, endeavoring with his heavy stick to knock the pistol out of his hand. While he continued to advance Walker kept backing off and firing at the same time. The last shot took fatal effect, and Miller fell to the ground with a ball in his ai>domen, just in front of the Misfit Clothing store, at No. 914. Walker then sprung upon the prostrate form of Miller ana beat him over the head with his revolver, until a large, red-wldskered man ran out from the sidewalk, seized hi* arm and knocked the pistol Into the snow on the street. When he was seized from behind. Walker exclaimed in agitated accents: "I am right! He has ruined my family!" The wounded man was then carried to Williams" drug store, where Dr. Riley came and attended to him. This story Is corroborated by the companion of Morrison, who also witnessed 1 he affair, and in part by N. H. cragln, the patent attorney. story of another eye-witness. Another eye-witness to the affair says: "I was across the street In the office of Mr. W. G. Henderson, the patent attorney, standing In the window, which Is almost directly across the street. and hearing the pistol shots looked and saw Miller turn and rush at Walker with his cane upraised, Walker In the meantime shooting at close range.

"A large man rushed from a store and grasped Walker by the arm. Miller at this moment reeled and fell Into the gutter. The crowd then gathered and Miller was carried Into the drug store. "I heard Walker say: 'I shot him. He ruined my wife, and there's a statement In my overcoat pocket that will tell all about it.'" WiLIIS wasted A warrant for miller's arrest. Walker applied to the clerk of the Police Court this morning for a warrant for Miller on a charge of libel, which consisted of certain language alleged to have been used in a letter from Miller directed to his (Walker'st wife. After talking the subject over walker said he would wait awhile and see his counsel. During the conversation Walker said that he was afraid of Miller, who had been arrested some time ago for pointing a pistol at a man and was lined by Judge SnelL The records of the court show that John C. Miller was before the court several months ago and was fined $20 for carrying a pistol. This afternoon Walker was in the lieutenant's room of the first precinct station, where, with two of his brothers, James and Samuel u? he had an interview with his counsel, Messrs. II. E.

Threatening to Abolisfe Passes. pennsylvania legislators disturbed?w1dl THE rule become general? A Philadelphia special to the New York World says: The members of the Pennsylvania legislature, which will meet in three weeks, who expect free transportation to Harrlsbuig from all over the state throughout the session, are worried by the possibility that Attorney General cassldy will apply for an Injunction forbidding the Pennsylvania and Reading railroads from issuing free passes. The injunction Is to be asked for on the grouud that the state constitution forbids the granting of free passes. The anxiety of the Pennsylvania legislators, however, will be shared by their brethren In New York state, as well as In New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Ohio, where It Is aunoun ed that all the trunk lines, with the Baltimore and Ohio, are seriously considering the abolition of the free-pass system, to take effect on January I. President. Roberts, of the Pennsylvania railroad, is said to be convinced that the assistance furnished by those favored with free passes does not compensate ror the loss in receipts and the perpetual charges or corruption. It. is understood that the matter was debated at the last trunk-line meeting In New York and favorably received, and an edict of a sweeping character is looked Tor by many. The agitation among the. thousands who enjoy these gratuities of railroads Is on the increase and decided action by Mr. cassldy is dally expected. The constitutional committee, who fathered the agitation, are pressing In their demands for speedy prosecution. Sinflr Sing Ha* N* Terrors For Them.

We have leisure to look back on the past and forward to the future. We have come to a crisis. It is time to meet it If we are to keep up the character of our colleges In tlie view of parents and the community generally, and to make them places of hL;h education, where cultivated tastes and refined manners an* acquired. I think the colleges on the em seaboard should come to an understanding with each other. It is their duty at present not to cast reflections on each other, but to unite to correct the abuses which have sprung up lu connection with these public games on holidays, where we are In danger of having all the evils of our horse races, with their Jockeying, their betting and drinking. I venture to suggest tliat the colleges Interested meet by representatives and agree on some simple restrictions which will admit of our receiving ail t he benejit s which may be had from manly exercises, of which we highly approve, without their incidental evils. I propose that Harvard, as the oldest of our number, be Invited to take the lead." In Favor off Representative Scott* THE MONMOUTH PARK COMMITTEE DECIDE THAT HE IK NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS TRAINER.

The cowboys tend the herds of the Mouth Florida caUle kings, and the Indians claim that they have been driving oft and killing their cattle and hotrs. Demands for redress were met by the cowboys with threats of a resort to bulleta. Three weeks ago the exasperation of the Indiana reached a climax, and several shots were exchanged, but 11 with ratal eflect is not known. War dances have beeii danced in t he everglade* i during the past two neeks, and the bucks are said to have donned their paint and feat hers.

F. carr and Samuel chute, who were surveying on Nlcolet avenue, near the Washburn home, were attacked yesterday afternoon by a large eagle. The bird dropped down like a bullet, and, Knocking Curtis' cap from his head, assaulted him with great fury. The man caught up a crowbar, tnd for a few minutes deferded himself In an unequal combat, calling lustily for his companion. ProL Carr coming up, tue savage bird turned upon him, caught him by the leg, threw him down, tore his uousers, aud, sinking h.s talons in the neahy part of his leg, inflicted a serious wound. The bird then mounted to the collar of tbetinfortunate man and seemed rtet ni.lned to bear him aw ay bodily, l>ut just at tlds <riMs other men r?ame up, and by their united eflorts ihe bird of liberty w is finally conquered and s?-curely pinioned.
