Red Shirted B’hoys of O14 to Receive Their Baltimore Breth- ren, An adjourned meeting of the survivors of the old Volunteer fire companies of the District, held last evening at Cosmopolitan hall, Was attended by fitty or sixty of the fire boys of the olden time. Many of these had not met their comrades before for a quarter of a century and had been so changed by baid heads and gray hairs as to be almost be- Yond {dentification. Some relics of the daysof old, models in paper of the Wecacoe engine of Phila- delphia and of the Northern Liberty hose carriage of the same eity were displayed on the president’s table. Mr. J. J. Peabody, of the old Columbia, with Mr. L. H. Fisher, of the Franklin, a8 J. Gary, of the Franklin, addressed the expressing pleasure at_ meeting so many of the boys of old, as noble a set of men, he said, as ever lived, Wile he remembered how his com- pany had “Whaled” some of the others, he was glad that time had and they could meet how in hearty friendship. He congratulated them that so many were living, and hoped that the dis- play on the 22d would be'a creditable one. The roll was called, and the Columbia, U1 Franklin, Perseverance, Northern Liberty an Vigilant éngine companies, the Western and Po- tomac hose companies and the Metropolitan and American hook and ladder companies answered. ‘Mr. L. Newmyer, of the Northern Liberty, was elected to act _as marshal on the 22d inst.. when the veterans will give a reception to the Baltimore Veteran Firemen’s association. A committee of two from each company with Mr. Peabody as chairman, to make all the arrangements for the 22d and to pre- pare a plan of organization, was appointed as follows: From the Columbia, Joseph Acton and Conrad Krafft; Union, John W. Sinclair and Joseph Parris: Anacostia, W. "N. Nicholso1 Franklin, Col, W. J. Gary and L. He Fisher; West ern Hose, Richard Brown; Perseverance, Henry C. ‘Thorn and W. A.

Scott; Potomac Hose, Col, Wm. ‘w and B. F. Harper. Mr. Sipe moved that a committee be appointed to walt on the Secretary of the Navy and solfelt the loan ofa hand engine, as they Wanted to pull a rope once more, Mr. George Strobel suggested that they had no uniform and it would not look well_for "men with stove pipe hats and slouch hats with parti-colored sults to drag an engine. It was too late to get uniforms now, but after the permanent organiza tion Was formed and they had procured uniforms they might ask for an engine. ‘The motion was laid on the table, ‘The meeting adjourned to Friday night and the committee on the parade Held a short session. Messrs. L. Newmyer, s. W. Kaulert and W. A. Smith were appointed "a commitiee to get up & heat design for a badge. ‘Thirty-three new ‘inembers signed the secre- tary’s book during the meetin eed AMUSEMENTS, Mr. Witsos BARRETT aT THE NaTIONAL.—When Mr, Wilson Barrett as the proud patrician Clay dian strode hautily upon the beautitul and ani- | mated scene of the slave mnart at Byzantium last night a ripple of applause went through the larg audience as a token of welcome to the young Ens- lish actor Who then made his first appearance on the stage of the national capital. This sign of kindly feeling toward the new candidate for favor Was but an earnest of what was to follow, as the unfolding action of Mr. Henry Herman's’ poetic tragedy afforded Mr. Barrett opportunity to exer- cise the powers with which he has been so gener- ously endowed and to reveal his knowledge of the resources of the art to which he has devoted him- self with such good results. Mr. Barrett from the outset inspired the contidence that here was a man who Would easily dominate every scene in which he participated. Athletic yet grace- ful of build, firm of si quick’ ‘and decisive in inovement, nervously rapid of utterance, and still someliow preserving a repose- Tul air of calm self-possession aud high invelli- gence, clouded by the arrogant pride of vast Wealth and power, Mr. Barrew’s Claudian was & figure that at once drew the attention with ex- ceptional force. ‘Tis result was achieved by methods so stinple, natural and dizect—by the In- telligent play of virile powers which ask little aid Of the mere trickery of the that at first it ‘Was not easy to discover the sources of the actor's, strength. And if there were any who felt some shade of “disappointment with Mr. Barrett’s work, in Unis extreme naturalness of method will doubt less be found the cause. Perhaps the character of the tragedy in which he appeared last night, too, did not give Mr. Barrett the best opportu uicies or play upon the more purely human emo- tions, and for evoking that cumulative interest which would grow out of a story developing stead- ily from the first scene to a final catastrophe or denouement, ‘The theme of “Ciaudian” 1s grand and poetic, but this very grandeur of 8s erhaps, precludes that concentrated interest Which moves the heart to the ‘Mr. Barrett did not stir his audience deep! ly.

The brilliant and pic- turesque appearance of the ladles was in keeping with the decorations of the hall. A circle of col- ored lights ran around the stage arch and the col- ored globes throughout the hail lent their varying hues to the flood of ight which filled the hall. ‘The booths on each side of the hall were very tastefully decorated in bright fresh colors, which harmonized nicely with each other.

West, who was recently | convicted of housebreaking and assault upon Mrs. | Mary L Page with intent to rape, filed a formal motion for a new trial The reasons urged for granting the motion are, first, error in consolidat- | Ing two indictments; second, because the punish- | ments of the two offenses tried together are di- verse; third, because from the nature of the action, nor two or more acts and transactions con- nected together; fourth, because the court re- fused to require the United States to elect upon which of the two indictments it would proceed to trial; fifth, because the court refused to quash the last indictment, and because the court had allowed Jurors who had'formed opinions to sit; sixth, be- cause while the chief witness of the government was engaged in testifying one of the jurors asked her: “Are you a Catholic, and do you observe and Perform your religious duties as such?” to which ‘she answered in ‘the affirmative, and thereupon ‘the juryman propounded no other question, but er testimony than he otherwise would have done; seventh, because Assistant Attorney Lipscomb, in ‘the argument, sustained such questions; eighth, becatise the’ assistant District attorney ‘appealed to the two colored men who were on the jury by name, and invoked class and Tace prejudice; ninth, because, although the court and counsel interfered, the effect of this appeal re- mained; tenth, because the District attorney sald Uttle reliance could be placed on expert testimony in cases of this kind: eleventh, because the Dis- trict attorney said that if the defendant escaped, ‘mone of the wives, mothers or children of thé community would be safe;” thirteenth, because the court ruled that insanity must be established by a preponderance of proof; fifteenth, because Dr. Garnett said that if mere ‘headaches were to be recelved as excuses for rape, our wives and daughters were not safe; sixteenth, because on several occastons one of the jurors, J: L. Webster, ‘was asleep, and seventeenth, because on other oc casions Brown was asleep and had tobe awakened from sleep to hear importantevidence; eighteenth, Decause of newly-discovered evidence.’ ‘Ihe attida- its of three colored men, Douglas, Lyons and Bur- gess, deposing that the ‘colored ‘jurors, Webster and Brown, Were asleep during a part of te tral, are appended. ‘The motion will be heard in a few days by Judge Macarthur.

Ihave no means of knowing the salary Kelly will receive from Boston, however, as, all that I will be officially informed of is the $2,000 mit, Iding parted with Kelly very reluct- antly, but he realized that the feeling of dissatis- faction existing between himself and Kelly would not permit of Kelly’s doing as well for the Chi- cagos as he would for others. He agreed to the transfer for the benefit of his own club and for ‘ase ball generally.” DENNY AND GLASSOOOK. “It 1s wrong to assume, however,” continued President Young, “that Kelly’s transfer means that Denny will go to New York and Glasscock to Chicago, as has been published. The transfer of Kelly was a private arrangement between the management of two strong clubs, and the approval of the league committee Was not necessary. But itis different with the other two men. ‘Tits com- mittee of three was appointed for the very pur. pose of preventing the indiscriminate sale of layers belonging toa club on the verge of dis- dment orto a club Which would be so disas- trously weakened by such a sale as to necessitate disbandment, “Nothing detinite will be known about THE ST. LOUIS, KANSAS CITY AND THE INDIANAPOLIS + MUDDLE Until after the March meeting. It 1s probable, however, that the committee representing the league will buy out one, and, unlessa bodily trans fer of a club should be made to Indianapolis, two clubs, in case both St. Lows and Kansas City should go out, and see to the proper distribution of the players in their hands In that case the probability 1s that the longest pole will knock the persimmons. Tir such an event Washington ought to have astick long enough to knock something. You can rest assured, however, that there 1s no foundation for the storles of tlie sale of the St. | Louts franchise to Kansas City, or of the indi- vidual sale of Glasscock or Denny, pending the settlement of the composition of thé league, ten tomers Eastern Branch Roads and Bridges. EDGE HILL, BENNING'S. To the Editor of Tax EVENING Stan: It looks very much asif a few land speculators are trying all their ingenuity and intend tocontrol, | 1 that be possible, Congresstonal legislation and the District Commissioners in the matter of roads, bridges and extension of streets within the Jis- trict, ‘The construction of a new bridge over the eastern branch of the Potomac, I takett, is intend- ed by Congress to accommodate the public and not a few private individuals. rhe extension of Pennsylvania avenue to the eastern District line, and a union, 1t seems to me, of that avenue and’ Massachusetts avenue by & broad. street at a point near the prison and the western end of the location of the old 1814 bridge, and thence direct east in the most _feasibie line to the east District Ine on the old Marlboro, road, Would accomodate hundreds of people, and ¢spect- ally country people, Marylanders and gardeners, hucksters, &c., of all classes, where the “Suit. & Co.” road would perhaps accommodate a round dozen or two. It ts also perfectly feasible and clear that a road avenue or boulevard could, from the eastern end of this proposed bridge, up ravines, be constructed due east to the District and Maryland line at less than one half, if not one quarter, the expense of any other road location to that elevation, Such a Toad as that would be almost invaluable to a very large traveling public, who are not seeking so much to udvance the value Of their real estate as to get to the city markets, and enlarge and increase their own and the city’s business and prosperity as well as growth. Such a location of would be vir- tually an extension of Pennsylvania avenue ina direct line, and so make 1t one of the finest drives and boulevards in or around the city, ‘The con- nection With Massachusetts avenue, as before sug- gested, would, by its extension to Tenleytown West, inake around drive that could not be sur- passed. “Surely Congress does not Intend to build a bridge over the eastern branch for the exclusive s¢ and benefit of any set of land operators, Now, why not make the eastern branch bridge a memorial bridge—the old Aqueduct bridge a ine- morlal bridge to Grant—the eastern branch bridge an—the regulars and the volunteers? No propriate monuments could be made to etWO grandest representatives of the heroic men that fought under each. By the way, Why do not the District Commission- ers improve the Benning’s road? Why have they not commenced to cut down the “Miller Hill,” as Congress at its last session authorized them t0 do, and fill up some of the inud-sinks between the boundary and“ Benning’s bridge? That road is a disgrace to any government. ‘Indeed, itis to-day by far the worst road leading into the city and in inost respects as Important ‘a road as either the ‘Myattsville or 7th street roads, Yours, BEANS, —.__ ‘The Francs Tireurs. From All the Year Round, Between Laon and Rheims I passed through Chalons and Epernay, at which plgce I saw, for the first time, the Francs Tireurs, or free-shooters, a corps to which I must devote a few lines by way of description. ‘The corps was, in the most _com- prehensible possible meaning of the word, irregu- lar. The men who composed it were not only irregular tn every thing they did, but appeared to glory in their irregularity. ‘They seemed to have Very few oilicers, tnd the few they haa were sel- dom, if ever, to be seen on duty with the men. The latter had evidently souls above obedience, for they did very much what they liked, and in the manner they liked. ‘They evi: dently hated the regular army, and the latter Teturned the compliinent with interest. When at Epernay I witnessed a skirmish between a bat- talion of regular infantry and a small party of German Uhlans, who were evidently feeling their Way, and trying to find out what was the strength of te French troops there. ‘The officer command- ing the French outpost behaved with great judg ment, Urying by Feiring his men to draw oi the Uhlans, ‘and find out tieir mumbers, He had al- most succeeded in enticing the enemy to advance, and had managed to hide the strength of his _de- tachment, When all at once a body of Francs Ti. reurs came up, and without wailing, or even ask- ing for orders, they began at once to blaze aWay at the Germans, Causing the latter to retreat, The officer ‘commanding was very angry, and seut orders to the irregulars that they Were to cease firing forthwith; but they took no notice of what was sald, many of them declar- ing ina loud volce that the regulars Were playing the game of the enemy, and did not want any of the latter to be defeatéd or killed. When an at- tempt was made to ilnd out who was in command of the Francs Tireurs no such person could be | found, and on an order being given that the com- manding officer Would cause “an official inquiry to be made into the conduct of the irregulars ue whole corps, not less than 500 strong, vanished and dispersed, so that they could nd more be 1s ‘THe Lonps TALK Azo?

The New York World says: Mr. Stevens is under the me- dium height, but stoutly built. He has a dark complexion, gray eyes, a brown mustache, and a pleasant but resolute face. He left San Francisco on his wheel early in April, 1884, and wheeled across this continent to. Boston, where he arrived in October of the same year. In April, 188, he sailed from this city for England, and wheeled trom Liverpool to New Haven, near Dover. Thence he crossed the English channel to Calais and wheeled through France, south Germany, Austria, Hungary, Servia. Bulgaria, Roumelia and Euro. pean Turkey, to Constantinople. From Constanti- nople his route was through Asta Minor and Persia to Teheran. He arrived ut Teheran in December, 1885, and remained there until March, 1886, when he started on a Journey through Afghanistan to India. The British authorities were desirous of preventing his ride through Afghanistan, not from litical reasons, as has been generally Supposed, t because the “Afghans are very fanatical, espe- ctally against christians, and it was feared that he wouid be murdered. He took his departure very quietly trom Teheran, however, and crossed the Afghan frontier about three hundred miles away from the usual route to Herat. Within 300 miles of the Indian frontier he was arrested and carried back to Herat, whence he returned to the Caspian sea and took ‘a steamer for Constantinople. ‘The Russian authorities, regarding him as a probable Spy, had prevented him trom riding through Tur- estan. ¥rom Constantinople Mr. Stevens went to Egypt, and crossing that country by rail embarked on he Red Sea, landed in India, wheeled up to the nearest possible point on the Indian frontier to the place Where he had been stopped in Afghanistan, and thence down to Calcutta. Proceeding trom Cal- cutta to Canton by steamer he started to wheel acryss China towards Japan, but after travell 500'miles his progress Was summarily intetru ata town called Kingan-foo, on the Kan-Kiang, where a mob of 2,000 Celestials, armed with clubs and stones, assailed lum and two soldiers who had been with him as a guard, He escaped a violent death by rusiing into ‘the Yamen, or oficlal inclosure of the town, to whieh his guards directed him. He was struck about the body and badly bruised by a number of the missiles, but a heavy Indian helmet which ne wore protected his head aud neck. He was spirited out of the Yamen | inthe night time by the authorities and placed upon a boat, by witich he descended. the Kan- Klang to its Junctfon with the great river of China, the Yang-tse-King, where he took a steamer t6 From Shanghai he crossed to Naga- Pan, and Wheeled across the island to where he embarked for San Fran- cisco. He arrived in San Francisco on January 7 | last, having made the ctreuit of the world’ in about two years and nine months, ‘Mr, Stevens related these particulars of his jour- ney to. World reporter last night, and told some other interesting things besides,” He was cordi- ally recelved by Wheelmen throughout Europe as far as East Bulgaria, and was an object of atten- tion to both press ant populace. Wheelimen fre- quently joined him aloug the way and kept him company, for considerable distances. AU Buda Pesth the bicycle club there received him cordl- ally and sent a representative with him on his de- parture who accompanied him for nine miles. At elgrade, the capital of Servia, he found another wheelmen’s club, which also welcomed him and sent a member to journey with him to the frontier of Bulgaria, After leaving Servia he saw no more Wwheelinen Until he reached India. His appearance in Turkey was a cause of great wonderment to the People, who flocked to the roadside to see him, At Angora, in Asia Minor, he dined by invitation with the governor, who alsd issued a proclamation call- ing gn the people to come out and witness his departure. ‘The town contains about 20,000 tn- habitants, and over five thousand assembled in response ‘to the governor's proclamation, He found the ‘Turks very hospitable and generally well disposed, One day, however, two” Koords, the nomads of Asta Minor, attempted to rob him on the road, Dui tue production of ais revolver put them toilght. Before leaving Constantinoplehe took the precaution to have a number of gold Turkisk coins covered with cloth and sewed on bis clothing as butions to provide against the robbery of ls toney wallet. Th China he found the people very ill disported. ‘They gave him wrong direc- | Uons and regarded hin with evideat suspicion, Tn idition to their general dtsilke of foreigners they e particularly excited at that Ue over the | French operations in Tonquin and suspected him, | he believes, of being a French spy.

EVERY PLACE CLOSED EXCEPT THE THEATERS AND THE RESTAURANTS, Last Sunday, for the first Ume in the history of | New Orleans, every place of business, stores and liquor saloons in the city, everything except the | theaters and restaurants, were closed, under the provisions of the Sunday law. Some of the defects of the law have now become patent. Under the | law restaurants ure allowed to remain open and to sell wine. ‘The concert siloons and stinilar slums all took out restaurant licenses on Savur- day, and lunches were sold there at_ the ordinary. price of a drink, the lunch consisting of a slice of Bread) a plece of tain and a small bottle of wine. Several of the club houses established barber shops and ran thelr bar rooms on_ a big scale, Mayor Guillotte gave notice yesterday that he ‘ould close up these club bars during the week. ‘The best way to get rid of an obnoxious law, he declared, was by a strict enforcement of its pro- visions. “The safoon men bave resolved to apply to the civil district court for an injunction to close the gas and electric light companies and the Slaughter houses on Sunday. ‘Through some error the Sunday law falled to except. these companies from its operation, and they will therefore have to close. ‘The law was evidently hastily framed, and its inequalities are becoming only more patent, Wine can be sold on Sunday, but not beers cigars, bur not tobacco, and the sale of oysters, trult other perishable food 1s prohibite = vee ‘Two Cuickexs Diep, Bot Nor Scnorrevp.—Mr. Schonield, a bookkeeper at Winnipeg, was seen in his office’at work on his books late dn last Satur- day night. ‘The next day he was not to be found, but the fact that there was blood on the office floor, that his high stool was. broken to pleces and Uhat'a hole had been cut in the river ice near by led to the belief that he had been turdered, ‘The suin of $100 had been taken from the safe.

CLEANSED, PURIFIED AND BEAUTIFIED BY THE GUTICURA REMEDIES, It affords me pleasure to give you this report of the cure of ous little grandchild by your Curicuna Reme- pres. When six months old his left hand began to swell and had every appearance of a large boil. We poulticed it, but all tono purpose, About five months after it became a running sore. Soon other sores formed. He then had two of them on each hand, and ashis blood became more and more impure it took less time for them to break out. A sore came on the chin, beneath the under lip, which was very offensive. His head was one solid seab, discharging a great deal. ‘Twis was his condition at twenty-two months old, when I undertook the care of him, his mother having died when he was a little more than a year old, of con- sumption (scrofuls of course), He could walk a little, butcould not get up if he fell down, and could not move when in bed, having no use of his hands. Iim- mediately commenced with the Curicuna REMEDIES using the Curicuna and Curicura Soar freely, and when he had taken one bottle of the Currcurd REsor- ‘VENT, his head was completely cured, and he was im- proved inevery way. We were very much encour- ‘aged, attd continued the use of the Remedies for # year andahalf. One sore after another healed, a bony mat- ter forming in esch one of these five deep ones just be fore healing. which would finally grow loose and wer taken out; then they would heal rapidly. One of these ugly bone formations I preserved. After taking a dozen and a half bottles he was completely cured, and is now, at the age of six years, a strong and healthy child. The scars on his hands must always remain; his hands are strong, though we once feared he would neverbe able to use them. All that physicians did for him did him no good. All who saw the child before using the Cuz- rouna Remepigsand see the child now consider it a wonderful cure. If the above facts are of any use to you, you areat liberty to use them, MRS, E. 8.
