The pupils of this school made an excellent record last year, and its efficiency has been, therefore, generally com- mended. The Georgetown institute for boys, situated at No. 2727, corner of and Montgomery streets, opens its twenty-third year on the first Monday in September, which speaks volumes for its past record. Rey. P. H. Sweet is the principal, and may be consulted as to details, terms, ete. This institute has turned out some of the best edu- eated young men in the country. The Misses Pollock and Noerr, principals of the Froébel Institute and Kindergarten, at 1127 13th street northwest, open their school on Sep- tember Ist—a week from next Thursday. This is the genuine kindergarten, and from that up- ward every advantage is afforded fora thorough education. Daily oral instruction in German is given free, while there is a normal class for ladies. The teachers are among the best that New England affords, and the Misses Pollock’s and Noerr’s direction is so well known in this city as to need little or no mention. The school has always been an excellent one. The Osborne Seminary, a French and English day and boarding school for young ladies and little girls, will re-open at 943 M street north- west, on Sey ber 5th. The instruction here has always been most thorough, and the classes range from the kindergarten to Harvard Cgllege examinations. The best of teaehers havealways been employed. The German and English school for Girls of Miss C. pengier, the principal, opens at No. 929 I street northwest, on Monday, the 5th of Sep- tember. Information will be furnished by the principal on next Monday and thereafter. The school promises to be a fall one. The fourteenth annual session of the boys’ English and classical high school, J. W. Hunt principal, will begin on September 14, in the north session room of the 4!¢-street Presbyte- tian church.

JUDGE WYLIE CONTINUES THE RESTRAINING ORDER. To-day Judge Wylie heard the case of W. F. Weber against the Washington Musical Associa- tioh—Mr. J. N. Oliver for plaintiff and Mr. E. B. Hay for defendant. The bill was filed a week ago to restrain defendant from interfering with plaintiff in his business as a musician, they hay- ing expelled him as a member of the association and issued notices to members not to accept em- loyment from defendant. Last week Judge Wylie made a temporary restraining order, and set to-day for the return. This morning the an- swers of E. S. Kimball, president, and other offi- cers were presented. That of the secretary, R. F. Cardella, is the most important, and it ralses the question of jurisdiction of the court, as the | association has no existence in law. It sets forth that plaintiff was one of the original members, and says that he repeatedly violated the rules by playing with parties who are not members of the association. They admit that Weber was expelled, and state that it was entirely the will- fulact of the plaintiff. It is denied that they have interfered with plaintiff. After reading the answer Judge Wylie made a_ decree continuing the restraining order in full force, and declaring the proceedings expell ing plaintiff yoid. es Viviseetion by a Veterinary Sargeon. JUDGE BUNDY’S VIEW OF THE CASE. An old golored man named Isaac Williams was charged in the Police Court to-day with inflict- ing unnecessary cruelty on a horse. Mr. John H. King, of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty | to Animals, testified that he arrested this man in South Washington yesterday afternoon with a horse in his possession that had a large tumor on his leg and a larze cut hear the tumor, and the horse was apparently bieeuing to death. It was shown that the operation was made on the horse in the street, and that he presented a very unsightly appearance. The old man testified that he is a veterinary surgeon, and made the incision for the benefit of the horse. Mr. Pad- gett, the prosecuting attorney for the District, said to the court that he thought the man was acting in” good faith, and did not intend to cruelly treat the horse, and if he made a bad Job of it he thought he was no more liable for it than a physician who treats a patient wrong- fally. The court said that this was exactly his view of the case, and he wouild dismiss the de- fendant. A Growl at the B. & 0. R. R.

The way travel by this train is considerable and con- stant, and yet it is very seldom the case that a dozen or more passengers are not compelled to stand up for at least half the distance between Baltimore and Washington. This morning the train consisted of only two passenger coaches and a parlor car, and before the train. reached Laurel every seat but two was taken in both the regular coaches. Iclaim that the com is bound to provide me a seaf, and upon this assumption upon a recent trip, I not finding a seat in the regular coach took a seat in the r car, when I was informed by an official with a gorgeous blonde mustache and a most persuasive smile, that I must pay extra for that seat; and the polite reply that I could not find a seat elsewhere had no ‘upon the urbane P. c.C.

A QUIET DAY AMONG THE WORSHIPPERS—A CAMP PARTY ON A LARK—THE BALL AT SUMMIT POINT. ‘Special Correspondence of THE EvEXING Stak. Washineton Grove Camp, Montcomery Co., Mp., August 22, 4881. Mondays are quiet days in camp life. Gen: erally a iarge portion of the morning is given tow house cleaning, and this morning was no excep- tion to the rule. A servant girl was arrested to- day for stealing a white dress belonging to Mrs. Knott, who occupies one of the co’ on First avenue. She was perfectly cool about the matter, and even went so faras to make the starch to do it up with 6n Mrs. Knott's stove, after having had the dress washed and altered to fit her. She was released, as Mrs. Knott did not desire to prosecute her, but will be sent off the grounds to-morrow. Several things have been reported as stolen, and if it continues a vigilance committee will have to be appointed to keep a lookout for these pilferers. ON A LARK. Some seven couples of the gone folk of the camp took a trip to Gaithersburg on a lark this morning and woke up that village. They stopped at the blacksmith shop and made the old place ring with their jests and merriment. Some of them borrowed a team that was standing at the door and drove the ladies around; others hitched themselves to a buggy and ran around the place dragging some of the ladies in it. THE RELIGIOUS EXERCISES of the day consisted of the 8:30 a.m. meeting, led by Rey. Mr. Halpenny. At 10:30 the Rev. W. F. Ward, of Foundry church, preached from Matt. i “For the son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins.” The ministers pronounce it to be the most masterly sermon preached on the grounds, and the main regret seems to be that more were not here to hear it. At2 Ve the childrens’ meeting was held, and the little folks were addressed by H. A. Linger, of Uniontown. At 3:30 a young people’s meeting was held in the large meeting tent and was well attended by the young people. This is peculiarly their meeting, and they conduct. the exercises. The young convert " will relate his experience among his own mates, without timidity. At the close of the meeting four rose for prayers, thus showing that a good influence is prevailing. The evening service was conducted by the Rev. J. W. Smith, of Grace church. The exercises were varied, closing with an exhortation invit- ing sinners to come forward. Nine responded to the invitation, and six of them left, rejoicing that they had found forgiveness. ARRIVALS. Among the arrivals were Rev. Dr. J. C. Mc- Cauley, president of Dickinson College, Pa.; Rey. Geo. Leech, of 4th street; Rev. H. A. Gross, of Georgetown; Rey. J. H. Smith, of Baltimore; Rey. J. H. Ryland and wife, of Uniontown; Miss A. J. Spaulding; W. B. Matthews, who is ‘stop- ping with Mr. Chas. Nye; Miss Wood, Miss May- onia Linthicum, and John Berry, of Georgetown; Capt. John Collins and two daughters, of Wash- ington; Lloyd Dorsey, of Anne Arundel county; John Hall and family, of Prince George’s county; and John and Thomas Benson, of Montgomery county. THE BALL AT SUMMIT POINT. G This evening the proprietor of Summit Poin‘ Hotel at Gaithersburg, gave a ball which was voted a grand affair. ‘The proprietor, Mr. Juan Boyle, late of Washington, having spared noth- ing to make it one of the pleasantest evenings ever enjoyed by those present. Quite a number went from the hotel at the aus The grounds all around were lit up with Chinese lanterns, while the hotel was thrown open for the enjoy- ment of the guests. The dining-room was grace- fy decorated, while the tables literally groaned under the weight of good things. The evening was spent in dancing, the music being furnished by Weber. of Washington. Among those pres- ent from Washington were Mrs. and Miss Bessie Chubb, Mrs. Campbell Carrington, Miss Bonney, Mrs. Newell, Miss Fanny Layton, Miss Jennie Moore, Mrs. Traves, Miss Jennie Lawn, Miss Minnie Warren, Miss Katie and Lot- tie Monroe, Miss Foley, of Baltimore; Messrs. Radcliff, Hough, I. Williams aud R. Williams, and B. Green, of the Montgomery Advocate, and @ host of others. The German was led by Miss Bessie Chubb and Mr. Deringer gees SE Se ead Extension of the City Limits. To the Editor of Tux Evenrye Star: With the contemplated extension of the city to the District line must come a provision for parks if beauty, comfort and health are to be consid- ered as necessary to the future wellare of the people who will occupy this area, as did the Father of his Country and the eminent engineer who formed the original plan. North of Iowa Circle a distance of nearly a mile there are no parks for this already densely populated district. As Congress has’ recently taken the initial step with a view to the exten- sion by an appropriation for a topographical sur- vey it would seem eminently proper that the subject of providing a liberal number of parks for the future growth of the capital shouldreceive the jug and careful consideration that its great importance demands. To overcome the obstruc- tion which the beautiful chain of hills bounding the present limits to the north and northwest seem at first view to present to the further pro- gress in that direction, no leveling process will be necessary. To deface nature’s monument 0 glory to the nation’s capital by cutting away these hills to the proper grade for such a plan would out vandalize the chief of vandals. Let the hills remain. They offer no obstruction; but on the contrary afford an opportunity of making Washington one of the most attractive cities in the world. Let the southern slope of these hills, facing the city, be parked from Rock Creek to 7th street or beyond. Through this belt of parking winding roadways of easy grade may be made to connect the upper with the lower city. On the summit, following the line of the parks, a grand avenue should be placed, from which, for all time to come, the magnificent panorama of our capital, mon- ument, public buildings, and the ‘pictn- resque surroundings of’ city ‘and harbor will be presented. Beside the permanent pres- ervation of this unparalleled view, the supposed obstruction to the growth of the city is over- come, and the beautiful hills remain, affording the necessary amount of parking for a popula- tion at least one mile in extent to the north and south. A long, grand avenue, a delightful drive and promenade will be provided for, where thousands will eagerly seek the opportunity offered to catch the breeze and inspiration which a full view of the capital city of the great re- public and its environment gives. Visiting sov- ereigns of republics and foreign subjects of princes will bestow the full meed of praise on such a happy provision for the general welfare. Wa-hington has no public drive within its limits worthy of note. Boundary street, at the foot of the hills, shut off from every breath of air of the prevailing winds of summer; with no view of the city or harbor, and dittle attraction, archi- tectural or otherwise, along its route, ought no longer to lay chief claim as “the drive” of the most promising capital city of the world. ‘The reasons for the proposed plan are not all wsthetical. There are ‘ical and economical ones to advance. It will becheaper to purchase at nt prices the southern slope of these hills, park them and lay out the proposed ex- tension of the streets from Grand avenue north- west on the present level than it will to cut through them and pay the personal damages that will be claimed, to sa; nothing of the un- sightly Soageperiga: for Ki Teast fifty y come of the most edge of ni onl; be suéceeded by the most ay of art 2 ‘an endless sea of red brick with rear +presenta- tion of the north side of square after square stacked up in unartistic sameness, like the canned stuff at the grocery, while from eve! back window will float, in full view of the Gapt- aa andthe city below, not the Star Spangled ner, but ten thousand flags : viduality, tebe cnghee Representatives of the nation—citizens of Washington, which of these pictures will stu hang upon the walls of the nation’s capital as a memorial to future generations of your good taste and economy?

How Lieut, “Smith Was Killed, A FIRE IW PHILADELPHIA, BUTCIIERING IN TEXAS AND ARKANSAS. ——— Big Fire in Philadelphia. FRUIT WAREHOUSES, ETC., BURNED—BUILDINGS CRUSHED: BY FALLING WALLS. PHILADELPHIA, At it 23.—Warner & Merritt’s fruit warehouse, Nos. 50, 52 and 54, North Dela- ware avenue, was destroyed by fire this morn- ing. The fire is believed to have originated from an explosion of gas, which took place shortly before six this morning, and almost im- mediately belpehies, flames rushed through the building and out of the doors and windows. The fire made rapid progress, the contents of the building being of an inflammable character, and about seven o'clock the walls fell in every direc- tion. The building was six stories high, built of ornamental brick and sandstone, and extending 50 feet on Delaware avenue and 180 feet through to Water street. It was finished for the firm by. the executors of the estate of Johns Hopkins, of Baltimore, the owners of the ground, and was valued at $100,000. The stock was of a mis- cellaneous character, consisting of West Indies’ fruit, principally 100,000 cocoanuts and £30,000 worth of bananas, most of which was received only a day or two since. The entire stock was valued at $75,000 and the refrigerators and other apparatus and machinery for the manufacture of dessicated cocoanut was valued at $50,000 more. Theboiler wasin the basement and the engine on the fifth floor of the rear building, where the walls fell. Great excitement was caused, but as far as learned nobody was hurt. -The employé of the firm were about beginning work, but all are thought to have made their escape. The south wall, in its fall, crushed the building No. 48 North Delaware avenue, the first floor of which is occupied by Charles E. Hives, dealer in vanilla beans, and the upper floors by James E. Kitchen, rag dealer. The other walls demolished the following properties:—The Forest House, a hotel on the southwest corner of Dela- cigar store of Henry Rosenbaum, adjoining, on the west; the two-story eating-house of Charley Wiley; a building occupied as a branch of Lan- dreth’s seed store. and the flour and grain com- mission store of L.

Peterson, southeast cor- No. 45 North Water street, the first floor of which was occupied by John Moore & Co., leaf tobacco dealers, and the upper floors by Bettle & Bro., wool merchants, and No. 46 North Del- aware avenue, occupied by Hamel & Stubbs, Tope and twine dealers, were damaged by water. getinenalic alii Sharp Indian Fight in Lake Valley. LIEUT. SMITH AND FIVE MEN KILLED AND ELEVEN WOUNDED—THE SAVAGES ROUTED AFTER SEVERE LOSSES. DENVER, CoL., August 23.—Santa Fe specials give the following account of a fight in Lake Valley a few days :—Lieut. Smith and his force of twenty men had been on the trail sey- eral days, and by forced marches overtook the Indians near McEvers’ ranch, in the Lake Valley district. The Indians were strong in numbers, and Smith attacked them, expecting reinforce- ments from troops, who were following some distance behind. His men were being rapidly shot down, when ata critical moment George Daly, with his force of twenty miners, arrived and joined in the fight, and the Indians were routed with great loss. They, however, carried off their dead and wounded, so that the exact loss could not be ascertained. The whites lost George Daly, Lieut. Smith, and four men killed and eleven wounded. The killed and wounded, except Daly, are supposed to be ex-soldiers. Smith was one of the best officers in the 9th cay- alry; had been en; in several Indian cam- igns, and was several times during the war revetted for bravery. Lieut. Dimmick, with his company of cavalry, and Lieut. Taylor, with twenty Indian scouts, who were but a few hours behind Nana’s main band, arrived during the eyening, and, without stopping, continued the pursuit. They have probably overtaken the In- dians before this, as the latter would be consid- erably delayed by carrying or burying their dead. The hostiles are near the Mexican line, evidently making for Chihuahua, and are well armed and mounted. A company of cavairy has been ordered to guard Hillsboro” and Lake Val- ley settlements, and if possible cut off or hold pee band until Taylor and Dimmick overtake them. —— A Double Marder in Arkansas, GAMBLING LOSSES LEAD TO THE TRAGEDY. Lirtre Rock, ARx., August 23.—The partieu- lars of a double murder in Seott county, 18 miles from Waldron, reached here yesterday. Two men, Falsom and Hobbs, had been gambling several days with John Stewart, the proprietor ofthe country store, a successful gambler who had won steadily fromthe men named above until about one handred dollars had changed Finally they arose from the table, and one sald: “I’m bre .”. They took several drinks to brace up with, mounted their horses and rode off. The night after they rode back, woke Stewart up and asked for whiskey. He went into the store, drew the liquor and placed it onthe counter. One of the desperadoes, as Stewart turned toward him, fired a bullet into his body. The murderers then ran around behind the counter, dragged him out into the street and shot him six times. Billy Messingale, who lives near Waldreu, and who was ona yisit.to Ste art’s family, hecrd the row, and ran out to see what was the matter. He saw Stewart on the ground and went back to the residence, told his wife the circumstances. While he was talking one of the men stepped up to the door and said with an oath: “Do you want to take it up?” Without waiting for a reply he shot Messingale in the back of the head, the ball passing through and coming out at the upper lip. Stewart was known to be a desperate man. There were several indictments against him. —— Lawlessness in Texas. BLOODY WORK IN ORANGE. St. Lovis, August 23.—The Republican's special from Houston, Texas, received last night, gives particulars of the bloody tragedies, which have occurred at Orange during the week past, and which have been previously mentioned. They have caused intense excitement along the line of the Texas & New Orleans railroad, and fears are entertained that something worse is to follow. The citizens of Orange have risen en masse and are determined to end the reign of lawlessness that has prevailed for the past month. The present condition of affairs grew out of a difficulty which occurred three weeks ago between 0. L. Delano, a noted desperado, and 8 detective named Wood, in which Delano was _ seriously shot. Wood escaped, and Charles Delano, a brother of 0. L., accused the sheriff, Geo. Mich- ael, of ai in the a and swore he would get even with him. ith this view he con- cocted a plan to assassinate Michael, and was aided by Dug Harris and two negroes, Sam and Bob Saxon. The plan failed, but they succeeded. in very seriously wounding the sheriff by lead- ing him into an ambush. The citizens became greatly incensed at these proceedings, and 150 of them Ce ped captured four of the negroes and shot them. Bob Saxon was also captured, and after extorting a confession from him, in which he reviewed the plot to kill the sheriff and gave much other information, he was toatree. Auother negro was arrested and hanged, and Chas. Delano was captured and pares in jail. A hundred armed men scoured he neighboring swamps for others of the gang. —>__ Texas Topics, SERIOUS SHOOTING Gatveston, TEX., the follo LOST IN A FLOOD IN THE RIO a A special to the News, from Eagle Pass, Texas, says: The Rio Grande has been unusually high for some time, and kas been ‘unnavigable by small boats.

Only the other night a gentleman passing through 10th street, at the corner of H street, in the north- western of the city, was sprung at bya large black dog and compelled to seek the other side of the street to reach his home safely, nar- Trowly escaping the bite of the dog. This is a beautiful situation to be placed in, and it is muttered to us to-day that unless owners of these animals or some other authority exercise more caution than is given in the matter, there are likely to be some dogs shot upon the pave- ments of our streets, and perhaps the owners or some innocent passers-by will receive the shots intended for the dogs. eee The Courts, Porice Covrt—Judge Bundy pro tem. To-day, Albert Johnson, loud and boisterous; @5or 15 days. Also, charged with defacing pri- vate property, by breaking the front door of a house in the * Division;” $10 or 30 days.

I procured a cork belt, made of eight double pieces, four by six inches and half an inch thick,covered with cloth stitch between each two. A couple of strips of cloth, like suspenders, hung it over the boy's should- ers, and it was strapped around the body. This was found buoyant enough for an adult. After the first day's t I cut off two sections. It being still strong cnough to float thelad, he soon went boldly into deep water, moving freely about, and in a short time learned to make the motions with arms and feet, according to my di- rections. I then cut off another section, and as this did not impair his confidence in the life- preserver, was about to reduce it still further when he threw it aside, ju 1ped into water four- teen feet deep and swam ashore. Nothing re- mained but practice to make a swimmer of him. I consider this about the easiest method of learn- ing. A dread ofdeep water must,in most cases, be overcome, and the n motions ac- quired, and I have never heard of any other way by which these ends can be attained with less trouble on the part of both teacher and pupil. The convenience of a belt over any other form of preseryer is apparent when one finds it de- sirable to reduce the size, as it can be done if ne , Without the knowledge of the learner, and the possible loss of confidence on his part.

A peculiarity of the lynching of Charles Stew- art, a Mississippi wife murderer, was that his father-in-law prayed for him and’ helped to ad- just the noose. ren RPETS! CARPETS!! CARPETS!!!

Frank Burch, a | Alexandria Affairs, Reported for Tux Eveixe Stan. Otp Tax Ciatma.—The difficulty of ascer- taining the extent of the state iien ror arrears of taxes interferes somewhat with the disposal of real estate here. These taxes are claimed in Many cases for six or eight years, and as there is no record here of tax in arrears before Trea- sure Harlan came into office, application has to be made to Richmond, where rere is often long delay, and sometimes it is impossible to get an account of the lien without a trip to the state capital. In a recent case in Alexandria county a purchaser visited Richmond, obtained a statement of tax-arrears on land which he was about to purchase, and paid the taxes, several hundred Sollars, as shown by the state auditor's books. Sometime after his retarn he received a notice that the commonwealth claimed his land. having bid it in ata tax sale some ten years Ben Austin, clerk of Alexandria county, has pre- pared a plan whereby all liens on land will be prove a great convenience. ease of Henry Herbner, fined under the corpora- | tion ordinance for keeping open bar on Sunday, will be heard before Judge Chilton at the cor poration court room to-morrow.
