(Special Correspondence of Tue EvExtxe STAR.] Jackson Grove, A.A.Co., Mp., August 5. Yesterday was quite a warm day in camp, and the grounds were somewhat dusty again. There ‘Was quite a fair attendance at the various meet- ings, and ail seemed enjoyable. The experience meeting at 10 o'clock was led by Rev. J.W. Gray, of East Washington, and it was one of consiger- able interest. At 11 o'clock Rey. A. W. Mather, of Howard circuit, condueted the services, and after reading Thess. xii. as the lesson preached from Acts viil., 39: “And He Went on His Way Rejoicing.” He related the circumstances of the ques- tioned by Philip, accepting the salvation offered in the scripture, &c., describing his anxiety as He urged his hearers to turn tb the Sa CHILDREN’S MEETING. Tn the afternoon quite alarge audience assem- bled in the tabernacle, the occasion being a hildren’s meeting,” opening with the hymn, arching to Zion,” followed by prayer by Rey. Mr. Colbourn. Addresses were delivered by Rey. Dr. J. T. Ward, Rey. Mr. Kinzer and A. E. Murray, interspersed with other hymns. The addresses were short, but very interesting. As the meeting was a children’s meeting, some of the grown peopleseemed tothink that babiesshould be the subject of conversation, and on the out- skirts of the tabernacle it was difficult for one to hear the addresses, A SNAKE STORY. During the morning a bi: snake was dis- covered near Hume & Weaver's store, within a few yards of the tents, and it was quickly killed. It measured five feet six inches in length. While asmall crowd gathered about the defunct ser- pent an old resident of the county approached, and learning how it had been killed exclaimed, “T sleep in a room every night where there ai two snakes, and they have been there for years. Ihave killed hundreds of them, and one day I I killed 112, but 't use a stick or stone.” A bystander asked, ‘* Did you shoot ‘em ?” to which the O. R. replied indignantly, “No, I snapped their heads o1 just caught them by the tail and used them just like I would crack a whip, and pped their heads off.” The crowd looked in- eredulous, but as the 0. R. seemed in dead earnest no one cared to question him. THE EVENING SERVICE was commenced by a service of song, followed by preaching by Rey. J. L. Kilgore, whose text was Romans xX! part 11th verse: “It is high time to wake out of sleep.” Describing a man in sin as being asleep on the post of duty— sleep which oftentimes had no waking—he e: horted his hearers to repent of their sins. Rev. Dr. Ward and Mr. G followed in exhortation, and two Laptiatoa) ‘enting themselves at the mourners’ bench, they weré converted during the p r meeting which followed. This was an enjoyable meeting, especially to the older people, for the Moody and Sankey songs and other modern hymns were discarded, and those of half a century ago substituted.

The formal opening of the new Potomac Boat Club house, foot of Congress street,Georgetown, last evening, was attended with festivities, on land and water, of a character worthy of so in- teresting an event. The interior of the boat house was very gaily and tasti'y decorated. The friends of the club assembled in large num- bers, and the members of the club distingnished themselves as much by their hospitality as by their prowess on the water. The evening’s en- tertainment opened with a single scull race, in which W.0. Bailey,R.W.Morganand T.L. Cropley contested. The Judges for the race were Messpa. Chas. Wheatley and B. Lewis Blackford; referee, J. D. Doyle; starter, F. L.Miller, and timekeeper, P. T. Dodge. The course was a mile over a point nearly opposite the boat house down stream and return. Bailey, who rowed in Hanlan’s shell— the Lord Dufferin—took the water first. Crop- ley, who was suffering with an abscess, rowed with difficulty and fell behind. Bailey main- tained his Tead to the turning stake, which he made in 6 minutes 20 seconds. Here he was closely pressed by Morgan. The race home be- tween the two men was a continual hard strug- gle, but Bailey crossed the line half a length | ahead, having made the two miles in 14 minutes 13 seconds. The next race was between the MARRIED AND SINGLE CREWS In six-oared gigs. The crews were made up as follows: Single—Hollister, 1; Johnston, 2; Bailey, 3; A. Cropley, 4; McKenney, 5; Wheeler, 6; Whittington, coxswain. Married—T. Crop- ley, 1; Barbarin, 2; Pearson, 3; S. Wheatley, 4; Simms, 5; C. Cropley, 6; Bayard, coxswain. The course was from the boat-house to the Aqueduct bridge and return. F. A. Miller acted as referee. Judges, B. L. Blackford and J.C. Williams, of the L’Hirondelle Club, Baltimore. The married men took the lead at the start, but surrendered it at the bridge. The single men won by a length and a balf. After the races, the shades of night having fallen, the boat-house was brilliantly illuminated, and the formal exercises on shore ‘gan. Commissioner Dent made the speech of ntation in neat terms, to which Mr. P. T. the president of the club, responded happily. The Apollo Glee Club rendered several selections with fine effect. The Dodge medal, held by Mr. Morgan, was then presented to the winner of the single scull race, Mr. Bailey, and the Nassau cup was given into the custody of the six bachelor oarsmen, as their medal of vie- tory. Theremainder of the evening was given up to dancing and the enjoyment of a collation spread upon long tables on the lower floor. WHO WERE THERE.

To the Editor of The Star: Don't you really think yourself that this goody-goody sort of talk, like that of “Citizen” in last night’s Star, about carrying weapons, is getting rather monotonous? I don’t know who “Citizen” is; but if I am allowed to judge of him by his opinions, as “‘a tree is known by its fruits,” I should say that he is one of those “citizens” who believe in ‘doing evil that good may come,” and who would persecute all who dif- fer with them in opinion, asin the “good days of old.” “Might a mere worm suggest” to Citi- zen, as it was more forcibly suggested the other day to the foolish mayor of Philadelphia, that citizens have some rights that even all-potent mayors are obliged to respect, and that these rights are guaranteed to them by an ancient document, little read by mayors and constables, yelept the Constitution of the United States of America. How would “Citizen's” plan of searching the persons of his fellow-citizens go with that little clause in the Constitution, which says “the right of the people to besecure in their persons and property from unlawful search and seizure shall not be infringed?” I don’t know that I quote the exact words, as I quote from memory, but I know I have the exact legal sense. What does “Citizen” or the stupid mayor of Philadelphia think the man would do who was approached as he peaceably proceeded down the street and ignominiously seized and searched by @ policeman, who might choose to think he had a deadly weapon upon his person? Don’t you think that policeman and the mayor who authorized him would find a y. ugly suit for “unlawful search” upon their hands? I do. The fact is, the tendency of a great many per- sons’ minds is toward despotism. So we have the ancient sumptuary and the modern prohibi- ry liquor laws, all of which are violative of Us — as they aeuae ihe ene of the Mile e law against ing weapons de- eyes for ite constitutionality ‘up he word ‘‘concealed,” but there is no law in mn the use of which implies evil intent; this or in any other en- lightened country to prevent me or any other citizen from buck on a revolver and carrying it or from carrying openly agun, sword or knife. For what says that old and musty docu- ment to which I referred before? “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,” or words to that effect. In common with other law-abiding citizens, I strongly repro- bate the pernicious habit of carrying concealed weapons; but I would not remedy that evil by unlawful measures. Congress or the state legis- latures can surely enact a constitutional law which will very much diminish this crying evil; no law can ever entirely prevent crime. B. ° peg Steet The Rights and Wrongs of Georgetown. To the Editor of The Star: The city of Georgetown has been overshad- owed by the “Federal” city. The Long bridge nuisance was saddled upon its commerce in five years after the federal city was founded, and this in the face of vigorous protests ‘from Georgetown. Fifty years ago one-half of Georgetown’s river front was cat off from nayi- gation by the Alexandria canal and aqueduct. Georgetown protested, and insisted that natural navigation by river to Alexandria was cheaper than by canal, as the result has proved. Soon after the war, or some fifteen years ago—when the aqueduct had been virtually abandoned by reason of loss of trade—a wooden bridge was constructed over it by private lessees, who have been charging excessive tolls, and this greatly to the injury of Georgetown. And now to “cap the climax,” itis suggested that another free testes Cat Somes cae gree ee lostan Island, Ps a mile, nt- ing another impediment to nay ition, besides cutting off poor Georgetown m_ the back country of Virginia, as it is already from Mary- land by the only toll-turnpike in the District.

Major Brock yesterday afternoon sent Andrew Heahl back to Baltimore, he having no means to pay his way. Major Brock also sent a written statement of the strange doings of the Baltimore men who played the role of policemen, with some proofs of the treatment of Heahl while in this city, to Marshal Grey, of Baltimore, who will take the steps necessary for the punishment of the men. Yesterday Detective Galt andone of the guards ofthe Maryland penitentiary were in this city looking for the negro convict, Henry Johnson, who escaped from that penitentiary yesterday morning, as stated in a special to THe STAR. They did not find him. Johnson was serving out aterm forrobbery, and had so far won the con- fidence of the officers as to be granted extra Irivileges and took advantage by flight.

The following are recent sales of real estate without buildings, the first two being lots in the town and the latter on its edge, and running into Alexandria county :—Lot, 20 by 109 feet, on the north side ot Queen street, be- tween Royal and Pitt streets, at $150, or about 1314 cts. per foot. This lot is within two hundred yards of the market square. Lot on tne north side of Duke street, between Fayette and Payne streets, 23 by 100 feet, for $107. A whole square of ground bounded by Patrick and Alfred, Mad- ison and Montgomery streets, with an extension beyond the town limits into the county, making in all about 100,000 feet, for 800, or less than one cent per foot. Tue Star's CANAL INTERVIEW.—The publica- tton in Tue Srar of the interview with Governor Wells, in relation to the Alexandria canal, has attracted much attention. No fears whatever are expressed by gentlemen connected with the city government of any likelihood of a sale of the canal, or of the diversion of the Aqueduct jiers from the purposes for which they were built. The authorities here are perfectly willing tomake a grant of the Aqueduct for a free bridge if the permanence of the canal over the piers is guaranteed. Or if a sum sufficient be appropriated by Congress to extend the Alexan- ara canal to the falls, so as to render the Aque- duct unessential to the canal, the canal com- y would probably agree to transfer its rights the government of the United States,and give up the Aqueduct absolutely. Tue BrecxuaM Cur.—Mayor Beckham, whose rize cup has for some time been on exhibition hh a King street store window with the tie scores of the Washington Light Infantry and the National Rifles attached, says he offered the cup an an encouragement tomilitary marksmanship. A fair trial showed a tie. Whatever technical rules might have been cited to show that atie was not a tie, no such rules were communi- ch & A rea- sonable period intervened and the tied match is now to be shot overagainon the 24th inst. This is ‘the whole matter. Mayor Beckham at that the statement that he has-verbally invited Capt. Thomason and the Veteran Union corps, or any- one else, to participate,‘is a mistake. There are no special invitations.’ : The match is open to the Alexandria Light Infantry and all similar or- ganizations. = EO ate eee one ores to- lay a Washingtonian, named Jo! ‘ashington, was fined £20 for disorderly conduct near the Loudoun depot. Srgeer Worx.—Superintendent Coleman’s force has now thoroughly cleaned three-fifths of the streets, and he is pushing the work.

Those in quest of a cheerful, home-like, sum- mer resort will realize their expectations in a visit to this island. In boating, oystering, crabbing, bathing and such delightful occupa- tions, one merrily “spends ‘the. days and finds exhilarating enjoyment in thus doing sweet nothing. And, by the by, the bathing here is considered by those whose judgment has w eight among the finest the Potomac river yields. A broad strand separates the shore from the surf, and affords one fond of walking a fine field on ‘which to display his powers of pedestrianism, while a spa spring, at a pleasant distance from the cottages, in which we rusticate, affords hygeian benefits to its patrons. A report has been circulated that the island is “eaten alive” (1 quote Dame Gossip) by mosquitos. 3 mine isa little body, for which those self-same insects of proboscis and buzz have a peculiar weakness, and I positively assert that these cousins by blood fave, as yet, to dine off me here. I admit that a few are heard in the grass at evening helping the mocking birds sing out vespers, but the best of watering resorts, one knows from experienee. lack not these sanguin- ary disturbers of the flesh. Freedom from mos- quitos is a prerogative of Heaven only. The boats, bathing suits, and likewiseall fruits, etc., on the place are at the disposal of the boarders, and are so courteously tendered withal, that half one’s enjoyment of them arises from th cordial heartiness of the invitation to help one’s self. Among the guests of this season Mr. and Mrs. Leitch, Mr. and Mrs. Long, Mr. and Mrs. Hirst, Mrs. Parkinson, Mrs. McFarland, Miss Summet Dr. Bacon and Messrs. Me- Aleer, Kear ker and Flood are numbered. Hoping many will come to revel in the “lazy luxury” of this fine old place, I remain, with pleasant greetings to the folks at home, Isa BELLA. “ale: ee PHILADELPHIA TRYING TO Save Her Exmmpe | TIon BuILpING.—The Bi-Centennial Association | of Philadelphia has passed a resolution request- ing the board of directors of the Exh ion Com- pany to withdraw the permanent ¢: jon build- ing in Fairmount Park from sale, and take nec- essary steps to retain it for the use of the people next year. It was also resolved to take steps toward the purchase of the build with the object of presenting it, immediately after the lose of the bration in 1882, to the park com- ion, in trust, for the use of the ple of vania as a place of shelter and re nd for the holding of public meeting: exhibitions. ~———_____-¢-_____ EScare OF THREE Prison Newark, N.J., broke ja .

'$ OF THE CATHOLIC TOTAL ABSTI- , Unron.—The second 4: ession of the National Catholic Total Abstinence Union in Boston y y Was preceded by a solemn high mass at the Church of the Immaculate Concep- tion. Resolutions were adopted acknowledging ith gratitude the zealous efforts of our priests, who, during the past, have fostered the good cause;” setting forth that “it is to the interest of every ci f th to help on the good work; we view with just pleasure the rapid pre f the cause among the ladies of th nd;” call on the Catholic press i n and out of season the otal abstinence.” A resolution of sym- | pathy with the Irish people in the struggle for land reform, and that fhe land league has no | more efficient supporter of its principles than the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America, was adopted. The ninth resolution condemning pool-playing for diin\s, and urging the societies to work for its suppression was also adopted. Mormons IN GroxrG1a.—A Mormon confer- ence isto be held in Georgia. This announce- ment confirms the reports of numerous conyer- sions to Mormonism in the mountain districts of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennes- see, where exhorters from Salt Lake have been zealously at work for several years. These men preach polygamy, but advise the conyerts not to practice it until they migrate to Utah. It is said, however, that among Georgia Mormons a plurality of wives is not uncommon. eS ee A New Coan Company.—A telegram from Wilkesbarre, Pa., says that the Alden Coal Com- pany, composed of Lehigh capitalists, have been awarded a charter to operate under the above name. They have purchased many acres of val- uable coal lands near Wanamic, and will at once begin operations, About the time their exten- sive works are completed and in operation the North and West Branch railroad will be in run- ning order, over which road they will ship their coal to market. ——_____--__ Huntixe Down THE WILLIAMS Brorirers.—A special telegram from Palmyra, Wis., says it is settled beyond all doubt that the Williams brothers have been in that town and in adjoin- ing bluffs and woods several days. Detectives and officers are after them, tracing them to Eagle, from whiche point they are yet to be hunted. Yesterday the blufls and woods for miles round were thoroughly patroled, and it is thought they must soun be heard from in some other locality. Chas. Hart, of | The Bell Telephone, Andrew Albright, a well-to-do manufacturer of Newark, and Charles Holzhauer, a druggist, have been cited to appear in the United States district court at Trenton, to answer in a suit brought against them by the Bell Telephone Company. About eight months ago Mr. Albright purchased two Bell telephone instruments, which he caused to be placed—one at his fac- tory, and the other at his house. He connected them with wire and used them for private busi- ness. One day last week a lawyer from New York demanded that he should at once desist from the use of the instruments and surrender them. Mr. Albright declined to do either. He said he did not recognize Mr. Bell as the origin- ator of the instrument, but that the principle was put in use in 1861 by a resident of Pennsyl- —_ named Reis. e also claims that he zit and paid for the instraments, and has a Mr. Holzhauer to use his own property. takes the same stand. “Romero” Hot.
