EEAL ESTATE SHARKS
Endeavoring to Mar the Beauty of
the Kational Capital.
GROYER'S LITTLE SPECULATION
Has Turned the Tide of Progress In the
Direction of Red Top.
AST XUMBER OP STEEET EA1LR0ADS
rejected by Those Who Are EnaearoriEr to Eitend
the City's Limits.
It is charged that the real estate men will
ruin the streets of "Washington unless they
are stopped. Every street is coTered by
several applications for street railroad
charters. The craze for suburban property
is the cause of the present situation.
tSFEClil. TELXGKAM TO THK DISPATCH. I
"Washington. April 4. "Washington
city is fast petting into the possession of a
combination of real estate speculators whose
operations bid fair to ruin forever what lit
tle claim the city has to beautiful, well
paTed and well-kept streets. Since the
raid forgetting control of property in the
suburbs of the West End began about the
time that Grover Cleveland bought Red
Top, the speculators have been insatiate in
their demands. They have now cot prop
erty up so high that city prices prevail out
into the country for three or four miles, and
where a few years ago there were vast farms
there are now numerous thriving towns on
paper.
Large sums of money have been expended
in the purchase of this suburban property,
and further large sums stand ready to be
employed in improving. All the operations
extend in a northwest direction toward
Cleveland Heights, and if all the lots that
have been platted were sold and houses built
on them Washington would indeed be a
great city.
THE AMBITIOUS SPECULATORS.
There are no residences on these suburban
town sites, however, and so the speculators
are endeavoring to put them there. Congress
a few days ago passed a bill for the estab
lishment of a zoological park, which is to
be located in the neighborhood of these syn
dicate purchases, on the laud lying ou either
side of Rock creek, in the direct neighbor
hood of "Woodley Lane road.
In order to get people out into this ro
mantically beautiful but entirely rural sec
tion of the future Washington, a grand plan
of street railroad construction has been
mapped out. Congress has been absolutely
flooded with bills asking for charters for the
construction of street railroads, and they are
being urged in committee by as bold a set
of speculators as ever fastened their claws
upon the people of the District of Columbia.
If one-half of the bills should become laws
Washington would be fairly cridironed with
street railroads.
The city now has all the transportation
facilities of this kind that will be needed for
the next 10 or 20 years, and the lines that
are proposed are intended to run from no
where to some one ot the cities on paper out
in the country.
A FAVORITE TERMINUS.
Almot every bill proposing a new street
railroad line lays down a route which ends
somewhere in the neighborhood of Cleve
land Heights. Washington proper, that is,
the part of the city where the people live
and where the business is done, has more
transportation (acuities now than any city in
the United Slates in proportion to the popu
lation. In order to reach the property of
the real estate men it is proposed to run
railroads haphazard over all the new north
western part of the city where there are no
business streets at all; Out where hundreds
and thousands of beautiful homes have re
cently been built.
The projectors of these speculative lines
seem to have given no consideration what
ever to the claims ot private property
owners, but are actually attempting to force
bills through Congress granting the right
of way over streets in opposition to the
earnest protest of every resident and pro
erty owner from one end to the other. It
has recently been said of Washington by
people who have traveled extensively in
this country and abroad that it is the best
governed city in the United States. This
is perhaps true. The government of the
city is .j the hands of three commissioners,
one a Republican, one a Democrat and one
an engineer officer of the army, supposed to
be without political prejudice.
Congress pays half the taxes and other ex
penses of running the District, and takes the
advice of the three Commissioners as to what
shall be done in the way of local improve
ments. These three men are vested with
great power. They are not responsible at
oil to the citizens of the District, but re
ceive their authority direct irom the Presi
dent and Congress.
A STORM OP TROTESTS.
There have been times when the actions
of the Commissioners have been so tyranni
cal and arbitrary as to raise storms of pro
tests irom the citizens, but it is lair to sav
that the present Commissioners seem dis
posed to regard the citizens as havinc; some
rights which even the real estate speculators
are bound to respsct. All of the bills
granting charters for additional street rail
ways are re'erred to the Commissioners for
opinions as to their desirability or necessity.
Just now the Commissioners are nearly
swamped with applications of this kind,
and the greatest pressure is being brought
upon them to report favorably on the vari
ous schemeR 'or ruining the proverbial beau
til ul and well-paved streets of the capital.
Washington is probably the only city in
the United States where street car lines are
constructed without any regard as to
whether the residents along the proposed
lines want the roads or whether they do
not.
An instance of this kind was under con
sideration by the Commissioners to-day. A
number of capitalists and speculators are
asking Congress for a charter for a street
railroad to run across the entire city from
east to west and back again, ruining in
its course a number of the finest
resideuce streets in the city. It was de
veloped at the hearing that not one person
in the entire city except the dozen or so in
corporators of the road, not one of whom
lives on the line of the proposed route was
asking for the increased transportation
facilities. On the other hand, a large num
ber of citizens who are actual residents of
and property owners on the proposed new
route, were present, and protested against
the encroachments upon their property, and
they filed with the Commissioners the pro
test ot hundreds of other citizens living on
the lines of the proposed route.
PURELY FOR SPECULATION.
The desired charter is wanted purely for
speculative purpose, and yet the incorpor
ators questioned the right of citizens to pro
test against despoiling them of their rights.
The Commissioners seemed rather impressed
with the unanimity with which the property
owners resented the attempt of the specula
tors to gridiron their section of the city with
street railroads, but did not say what recom
mendation they would make jto Congress.
They are men who themselves live and own
property in Washington, and it is probable
they will take the honorable and sensible
view of the matter and protect the rights of
their fellow citizens.
Senator Edmunds has started a crusade on
these real estate speculators, and has warned
Congress to keep ont of their clutches.
When be was absent from the Senate cham
ber a few days ago a bill was passed allow,
ing a road that uses overhead electric wires
to extend its lines along one of the residence
streets, notwithstanding the fact that there
are now parallel lines of street railroads but
a'blockaway on either side. When Mr.
Edmunds learned what had been done, he
secured a reconsideration of the Tote, and
intends to explain to Congress just what
sort of a combination ol speculators it is
that has its grasp on the people ol Washing
ton. Mr. Edmunds has in mind the ap
pointment ot a commission to take into con
sideration the subject of the numerous pro
posed street railroad lines with the object, if
possible, of saving Washington from being
ruined altogether by numerous railroads
constructed without any regard to the neces
sity, business requirements or the property
rights of citizens.
SENATORIAL OBJECTORS.
Senators Hale, Sherman, Vest and dozens
of others have united with Mr. Edmunds,
and have determined to call a halt in the
matter of granting additional street railroad
charters. A moment's glance at the bills
now on file in the two Houses will show
that the proposed oew roads are not born of
necessity, but are intended to be used for
the purpose of an inducement to the people
to buy suburban property. Every syndi
cate of speculators in the city is engaged in
picking out a route bv which they can best
reach the region of the new Columbus me
morial park without paying any attention
to whether there are any demands from any
body for their proposed roads. Washington
is a beautifnl city, but if Congressmen con
tinue to give up its streets and avenues to
horse railroad companies without regard to
the requirements or rights of the people,
householder!:, pedestrians and the owners ot
carriages will be obliged to move out into
the country.
x.ven those street railroads aireaay in ex
istence are seeking extensions to enable
them Jo reach the promised land. They run
bobtail cars, poor, broken down horses, and
underpay their employes. They use old
fashioned rails and switches that require the
conductors to leave their cars and personally
shift the track. There is only one electric
road in the city, and no cable cars yet run
ning. The three Commissioners who advise
Congress upon the matter of railroad exten
sions were appointed because they had lived
many years in Washington, and know the
desires and needs of the people. It was in
tended, when they were appointed, that they
would have the good of the city at heart,
and in response to the long neglected cry of
the citizens of Washington for home rule.
The residents and taxpayers now look to
these men to save them from the clutches of
the real estate sharks.
THE TWO SOUTHS.
One Has Not Forgotten the War, While the
Other Is Hustllnc Clianncey De
pew'g Opinion of Southern
Convict Camp.
Washington-, April 4. Mr. Chauncey
M. Depew arrived here this evening in ex
cellent health. In an interview he ex
pressed himself as delighted with the hos
pitality ot the Southern people. "Did you
see much of the new South?" was asked.
Some of the New South and a good deal of
the Old South. It is there still. The old stock
looks on the colored man as a sort "fa destitute
of moral sense and responsibility, nno
like a Frankenstein becomes, for
that reason, dangerous in proportion to
his liberty and opportunities. Thev sincerely
think that their property will be wiped out or
confiscated, their homo? broken up and society
destroyed it the colored man's votes are
counted, and they look upon Northern Repub
licans as a species of Anarchists who
will cheerfully co-operate in their destruction.
Nine-tenths of the Democrats in the South
seera to be imbued with such ideas.
The new South has a different spirit, it be
lieves in mines and mills, and corner lots. It
believes in attracting enterprises and capital;
hut the old 6outh is a long way down the mil
lennium of a political regeneration. The rem
edy isn't plain, but it certainly does not lie in
Ee"deral legislation.
One thine hich, more than any other, has
debauched public sentiment in the South, is
the convict labor system which holds in certain
States. Unless Kennan's stories of Siberian
horrors are absolutely true, there can be no
scenes in a civilized country so terrible as in
the Southern convict camps. These poor
wretches are leased to men who have no interest
in their welfaro or reformation. No one sees
whether they are properly fed, clothed, housed,
treated or cared for." Sometimes the contracts
call for a certain number of convicts and the
State furnishes them. If thev can't fill the
quota otherwise the most trivial offenses are
made excuse for long terms of imprisonment.
I have no doubt that many innocent men are
serving sentences in Southern convict camps
that a quota might be filled.
BALFOUR'S BILL RIDICULED.
Lord
Randolph Churchill Says It Wonld
Lead to Annrchr In Erin.
London, April 5. Lord Randolph
Churchill in a letter ridicules the proposi
tion that the land purchase bill is a tran
quilizing and pacifying measure. On the
contrary.'! he says, it is certain
to lead to jealousy and repudia
tion of rent among tenants whose landlords
re'use to sell, to say nothing of the repudia
tion indicated in his first letter, involving
the Government in a hopeless double task
of enforcing the law iu the cates of no rent
ers, and the recovery of money from pur
chasers. Coming to the question of guarantee, Lord
Randolph enters into the financial question
in detail. He estimates that five years
of continuous repudiation would exhaust the
cash guarantee and compel recourse
to the continsrent guarantees, which would
mean the throwing of Ireland into a con
dition of anarchy worse than was ever con
templated by the strongest opponents of
home rule.
AN EXPLOSION AND COLLAPSE.
A Number of Men Klllrd and Injured In a
Tnnnel.
Santa Baebaea, Cal., April 4. A
dispatch says a terrible accident occurred at
Adams Canon, near Santa Paula, this
morning, where the Hardison & Stewart
Oil Company is boring a tunnel for oil. An
explosion ot gas occurred in the tnnnel and
a sheet of flame shot out, blowing away the
building 100 feet from the mouth of the
tunnel. Two men were terribly burned;
one of them has since died. The names of
the workmen are unknown.
A force of men were put to work to clear
the tunnel, and this afternoon at 3:45 an
other explosion took place, collapsing the
whole tunnel and burying in the rnins five
men, who are certainly dead. So far as
known their names are Britton, Hardison,
Taylor and Young. Hardison is a brother
of the head of the company. Intense ex
citement prevails in Santa Paula. Three
or four hundred people are at the tunnel.
THE WORST BREAK YET.
Catfish Point Levee Give Way and Several
Lives Are Last..
rsrKCIAt. TELKOKAM TO TOI DISPATCH.
Memphis, April 4. Still another break
reported to-day. The large levee at Catfish
Point, Miss. This is an important embank
ment, and as the country back of it has
already rapidly filled up from the older
brents, this will complete the flooding of
the Yazoo and Mississippi deltas, and make
the flood of 1890 more disastrous than any
yet known in the Mississippi Valley.
The break in the levees is 1,300 feet wide
already, and the most disastrous that
has yet occurred. Three lives were lost,
a man and two children, houses and
crops swept away, furniture destroyed and
some of the finest plantations in the valley
submerged. Captain Tollinger, of the
United States Signal Service, is there, and
with the steamer Graham, is doing all that
can be done to aid the distressed people.
NORTHERN MEN IN GEORGIA
Organize a Soclelr to Do Great Work for
the Sonib.
Atlanta, April 4. A hundred Northern-born
citizens met at the Chamber of
Commerce to-day and took preliminary
steps for the organization of a Northern
Society. The objects of the club as set
forth in the resolutions adopted are to have
headquarters where the members cau meet
and invite friends.
A committee was appointed to draw up a
constitution and by-laws, and the meeting
adjourned for one week. Great enthusiasm
was shown by all the Northern men, and
they confidently expect to do a great wore
for the South.
MURDERED ONE WIFE,
And Has at Least Two More Still in
the Land of the Living.
AN EX-SALVATION ARMY TROOPER
Who Was'Wedded Yery Frequently, if Not
Entirely Happily.
ANXIOUS ABOUT ELECTRICAL DEATH.
The Assassin Wants to Know Whether His Execu
tion Will be ralnlul.
Horace A. Smiler, who killed his wife in
New York on Thursday, was an ex-Salva-tlon
Army man. It appears he had much
matrimonial trouble, and two of his wives
are still living.
ItrKCIAI. TKLEGItAM TO THE DISrATCIt.l
New Yoke, April 4. HoraceA. Smiler,
a dissolute printer and ex-salvation army
trooper, who shot and killed his wife.
Maggie, at 284 Seventh avenue, late last
night, was arrested by Detectives
Madden and Maloney, of the West
Twentieth street station, early this morning.
AVhen he was caught he had his revolver,
reloaded, in his pocket and he was evidently
making for the home of another woman
whom he had married and abandoned before
marrying the woman he killed.
Smiler is 33 years old. He worked in the
mailing room of the Catholic News and was
an expert mailer. About three years ago
he was a big shouter in the barracks of
the Salvation Army on West Thirtieth
street. Those that know him say that he
was always a crack brain.
MARRIED EARLY AND OFTEN.
He married when he was 17 years ojd, bnt
left his wife soon alter the marriage. That
wife is now living somewhere in Harley. In
1884 Smiler married Elizabeth Bates. A year
ago he left her to live alone at 144 West
Twenty-sixth street, and married Maggie
Draney, a widow, who came to this city from
Poughkeepsie. She was the daughter of a
respectable citizen of Poughkeepsie, John
Burns by name, now deceased. She was
once a teacher in one of the public schools
here. By her husband, Draney, she had
two children. After Draney's death she
became dissolute and went to" New York to
live. Her father-in-law put the children in
a Catholic asylum in New Jersey, where
they are now. Maggie's mother and brother
live in this city.
Smiler and his last wife went to live to
gether at 11 Prince street. They had fre
quent quarrels, and after a quarrel Mrs.
Smiler used to go and stay with her friend,
Mrs. Wilson, at 284 Seventh avenue.
MURDER IN niS HEART.
On Thursday night Smiler went tothe
rooms of his brother, on West Twenty-sixth
street, and demanded to know where his
wife was. He was drunk, and flourished a
revolver. He hnally turned up at .sirs.
Wilson's rooms, and upon his wife re
fusing to go home and live with him, pat
four bullets in her body. She died almost
instantly. Smiler ran out ot the hoube and
walked down Seventh avenue.
The shooting occurred at 10:40 o'clock,
and within an hoar afterward Police Cap
tain Grant had a dozen men out hunting
Smiler. He had officers watching for
Smiler at the Catholic News office, at
Smiler's home on Prince street, at the
homes of Smiler's brother and Smiler's sec
ond wife at 155 and 441 West Twenty-sixth
street
The detectives named above arrested
Smiler in front of the second wife's house.
Smiler came down West Twenty-sixthstreet
drunk. He clutched the revolver in his
pocket and st'uggled a moment when the
officers nabbed him. The police say that
they are sure that Smiler meant to kill his
second wife. Afcthe statiou house Smiler
first denied that he knew anything about
the shooting, but when told that his wife
was dead said:
READY TO BE HANGED.
"Well, then I'll hang. Bury me in the
same grave with her."
Justice White committed Smiler at the
Jefferson Market Court. Smiler's only plea
was that he was drunk. Later ou Captain
Grant took the prisoner over to the
police headquarters. There Inspector
Byrnes had Smiler's photo taken. Smiler
told the detective that his wife
was a worthless woman who was drunk
about half the time. He had tried to make
her good, but had failed. Of the shooting
he remembered only firing his revolver sev
eral times and then sneaking off to get out
of the way. All the rest that he did was a
blank in his mind.
"Does electricity hurt?" he suddenly
asked. He rambled on, saying he didn't care
whether electricity hurt or not; that he
should not appeal his case when he was
convicted, and that he felt glad that he had
finally made his wife good. He is in the
Tombs.
EXTENSIVE FflAUJS.
An Indiana LegUlntor Furnished Bogus
Divorces for Women Who Wanted
Pensions The Court Clerks
Were In Collusion.
rFPICTAI. TILEORAM TO TOB DIS.PATCH.1
Indianapolis, April 4. The most sen
sational and extensive frauds ever perpe
trated upon the Pension Department in this
State came to light this evening with the
arrest of ex-ltepresentative Lee Wilson,
of Shelby connty, on an indictment
returned by the Federal grand jury.
The evidence showed that Wilson has
secured a total of 21 annulments of marriage
in the Shelby Circuit Court.and in each case
had received a fee of from 550 to S110. The
women who were thus freed from
matrimonial bonds were the widows
of soldiers who had remarried
and the incentive was restoration to
the pension rolls. But one of the cases
passed through the courts in a legal manner,
aud all the other decrees were secured by
fraud, and the entries made through collu
sion with the deputy clerks.
A number of Shelby county lawyers were
before the grand jury and testified that
Judge Hord was in the habit of letting at
torneys write their own decrees, and that he
frequently signed the record without read
ing it. Wilson's plan was to file suits in
the court, have the notice regu
larly printed, in the newspapers
and then write out a decree, and have it en
tered upon the docket. Thus the marriage
of his client was annulled without any evi
dence being heard in the case. It also de
veloped before the jury that the docket of
the court had been stolen, and that all of
the original papers in the several cases had
been abstracted from the clerk's office.
There was evidence tending to show that
certain deputies in the clerk's office were in
collusion with Wilson, and an indictment
for conspiracy will be returned. The arrest
of Wilson to-day was ordered for the pur
pose of holding him till the work of
the grand jury is completed, as it was
believed that tie would leave the State.
He cave bond and arrived here this even
ing, and is now iu consultation with his at
torneys. Wilson represented Shelby county
in the last Legislature, and is now a candi
date for renomination.
A Talnable Herd of Cow.
Denver, April 4. H. N. McKinley, of
the firm of Ayer, McKinley & Co., of Phil
adelphia, to-'day purchased the Kichtoff herd
of 100 head of St. Lambert Jerseys for $40,
000 cash. The herd will be shipped to Penn
sylvania. Pnrnell-O'Shea Salt Settled.

SCENES ON THE STKEETS.
The Latenen of the Rumors Cnusea the
Greatest Anxiety.
On the streets in the vicinity of the
Court House, on Diamond, Fifth avenne,
Smithfield and other neighboring places, a
constant procession of saloon keepers al
ternated between the barred sates of the
Court House and the bars of their co-laborers
in the vicinity. At every corner little
crowds would congregate at times, and the
scraps of conversation caught were inter
esting, if vacue. Thev ran about as follows:
"Bet you $10 to 2 Bing don't get there."
"That's too bad Tom Delaneygot knocked
out." "Sixteen licenses in the First ward;
that accounts !or the recent election 5cht
results." "How did you come out?" "Oh,
I got there." This expression was fre
quent, and invariably followed by an invi
tation to take something, and it was always
taken.
Then there were funereal groups lament
ing the lack of taste in the court in not
picking them out as a fit custodian for a
So00 chromo in their art gallery. Tbe dis
tant "whoops" of the victorious applicants
fell upon unresponsive ears in these gather
ings, but they with equal promptitude re
sorted to the nearest 'place where the bane
and antidote, apparently, could be procured.
WITH A SUNBDKST OP JOT.
A Successful Applicant Indulges In Ex
travagant Demonstrations.
An anxious-looking brace of men came
into The Dispatch local room while the
list of successful applicants was being ar
ranged. "Bead me the ward names,"
said one of them. A reporter ran off the
list aud struck a certain Teutonic patrony
mic. The effect was extraordinary. He
cleared the room in one bound, seized his
friend by both hands and nearly wrung
them off, and cracked a smile that would
have made a confirmed misanthrope explode
with glee.
Tbe successful applicant melted away in a
sur burst of joy, and songht the much-re
viled but congenial atmosphere ot a speak
easy.
TURKEY MUST PAY UP.
Russia Notlflrs tbe Porte Th.it Arrears of

Constantinople, April i. Russia has
notified Turkey that the sums paid on ac
count of the arrears of the war iudemnlty
and the securities given for the payment
thereof are not sufficient, and that, there
fore, if the new loan which Turkey proposes
to raise is subscribed for she will demand
priority for the payment of her claims be
fore the money is devoted to other purposes.

This suit on which a writ will probably
be issued to-morrow grows out of the prohi
bition amendment campaign last summer in
which Mr. Croweli, one ot the detendants in
the snit, has lately figured conspicuously in
an alleged confidential communication to
the agents of the Prohibition organ, the)
Voice.
SHOET OF CASH.
It appears that in the organized effort to
defeat prohibition the Liquor Dealers
League and tbe State Brewers' Association
were united. Just before election the funds
ran out and the joint committee of
tbe two liquor organizations which was
appointed to arrange for such a con
tingency called on Moore & Sinnott and
stated that there was $38,000 lacking to prop
erly carry on the campaign. Of this f 20,
000 was owing to the newspapers for ad
vertising, $13,000 to window bookmen en--gaged
to work at the polls, and $5,000 re
tained to Lewis C. Cassidy on account of
the 520,000 promised him for his work in ' j
the campaign. jt
Moore & Sinnott advanced the $38,000 on
the understanaing that the Brewers' Asso
ciation was to pay back 60 per cent of the
loan,and the liquor 40 per cent in two
weeks. The liquor dealers paid back their
40 per cent according to contract, but tha
Brewers' Association, instigated, it is said,
by Harry P. Croweli, have refused to re
turn to Moore & Sinnott one cent of their
share of the loan advanced to protect their
business.
CHOPPhD HIS OLD BOSS.
A Sontbslde HacUlne AOalr That May
Prove Quite Serloos.
Shortly after last midnight John J. Nix
dor was arrested by Officers Haggerly and
Coleman at the Panhandle Hotel, on Carson
street, near the Smithfield street bridge, and
sent to the Twenty-eighth ward station. Tha
charge against him was felonious cutting.
Kixdor was employed at the Panhandle
Hotel by John Kaiser, the owner of tha
house. About three weeks since Nixdor
was discharged. Last night he returned to
the hotel, about 12 o'clock, and engaged in
a controversy with Kaiser. The latter or
dered him from the house, whereupon Nix
dor picked up a hatchet and struck Kaiser
a very hard blow over the head, inflicting a
severe cut.
Kaiser ell to the floor and Nixdor fled.
A physician was immediately summoned
and stated that though the wound suffered
by Kaiser was of a dangerous nature, it was
not necessarily fatal. Kaiser was placed in
a bed at the hotel, and the police were noti
fied of the case. Nixdor was shortly after
ward arrested, and did not appear to ba
under tbe influence of liquor. He is an un
married man, 33 years of age. Kaiser is a
married man, 50 years of age. '
