Zo the Editor of Te Evextne Star: Your article in Friday's Star entitled “Why ox Threatened Burke” does me great in- Justice and tends to do me irreparable harm snd injury, inasmuch as it gives but a partial and one-sided statement of the testimony. I therefore, as a matter of justice and in the interest of right. ask you to make a correction. Cox testified in his own behalf to save himself, and testified to matter not within his own knowl- edge, but to what he said he heard from others who were not called to testify. While I em- phatically denied that any of the occurrences to which he testified, ever took place I tes- tified that I not only had not done anything to attract the attention of the wife of said Cox, but that I would not speak to her when she spoke to me. I have a charming wife and family and the vicious report has given them Great distress and misery. Tomas J. Burke. EEA... For the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Sufferers.

Yesterday was children’s day at the temper- ance tent on the hill, and when, at 3:30 p.m. Grand Templar Mahoney called Mr. T. Stahl to preside every available seat was oc- cupied and many stood on the ontside. There were large delegations present from the tem- perance society of 300 members of the Fourth street church. from the Sunday school temper- ance society of Dr. Chester's church, from the Union band of hope of Waugh chapel and | North Carolina avenue church, and from the | flourishing Undine and Washington juvenile temples, with their superintendents. Chaplain Kramer led the otional exercises, Dr. Hens- ley the song service, Miss Libbie Moffitt play- ing the organ. Mrs. Moflitt read a Scriptural selection. The deciamations. recitations, solos and choruses by the children were very credit- ably rendered. Addresses were made by the chairman. by Grand Superintendent Russell and Mr. Cook, and when the children went home many carried a pretty temperance cer- tificate, designed and provided by Grand Tem- plar Mahoney. The closing meeting of the series on the hill last evening was largely attended. Dr. Hens- ley led in the singing, Mrs. E'lis accompany- ing on the organ and Eber Rozenbaum on the | families who cannot well afford to buy ice at southeast. This investment, however, did not prove profitable, as the houses at that time were too far out. No further improvements or. Worth. | Were attempted and the operations of the syn- 35e. | dicate came to a stand-still. They were obliged to borrow money on their land and, until a few years ago, this was as difficult as selling the 4. Practically there was no market for the property. They BOUGHT AT CHEAP RATES, thefaverage price not being more than 5 cent per square foot. There were, however, no streets, no improvements of any kind, and no way of reaching the vicinity quickly and cheaply. As the years went on the various members of the farce sold out their inter- ests to Stephen Flanagan of Philadelphia, the present owner. He has transferred the entire property, except the row of houses, comprising about a million anda half square feet, to the syndicate as above mentioned. The price paid was about 30 cents per square foot, and consid- ering the large amount of land involved it is one of the most extensive real estate deals ever made in city property here. THE NEW OWNERS will not be able to assume control of this prop- erty at once, because there is a loan on the property which has some time to run and which the holder, a Philadelphia man, refuses to re- lease. As soon as possible it is the intention of the purchasers to begin the erection of houses. The property comprises the squares lying to the southeast and north of Lincoin park. The squares are follows: 988, 989, 990, 1013, 1014, 1015, 1035, 1036, 1037, 1088, also lots in other squares, Mr. Horace S. Cummings has repre- sented the estate in this transaction. Gira AOS DOWNED BY THE INFANTS. The Senators’ Run of Luck Broken on Saturday. The Senators broke their record on Satur- day, and instead of making the game the sixth successive victory they were obliged to suc- cumb to Cleveland's more potent luck, and the game went to the Infants by the score of 5 to 4. The game was sufficiently exciting to bring forth all the power of the 1,800 throats present, and in the ninth inning, when the home team made a gailant spurt and failed to tie the score only by a scratch, the interest rose to fever heat. The batteries for the day were O'Day and Daly and Beatin andgutcliffe. ‘To O'Day’s wildness may very properly be at- tributed the defeat of the Statesmen, for he gave five bases on bails—two of which were fatal—and pitched one ball so wildly that a} run resulted. The only errors of the home team, a fumble by Mack and a muff by Hoy, were each made at the worst time, and Cleve- land took great advantage from them. The local scores were made by good hitting, and in the ninth a streak of batting brought in two runs and almost another, The third, however, was made a fraction of a second too late to count. Washington made 9 hits and 2 errors, and Cleveland 7 hits and 4 errors. OTHER SATURDAY GAMES. Chicago took advantage of Boston's loose fielding and won from the Bean-eaters by the seore of 2 to 0. Gumbert and Farrell, and Clarkson and Ganzel were the batteries. Bos- ton made 9 hits and 5 errors and Chicago 5 hits and no errors. Philadelphia took two games from Pittsburg. The first score was 4 to 3, ten innings. The batteries were Buifinton and Clements, and Staley and Miller. Pittsburg made 8 hits and Serrors and Philadelphia 10 hits and 3 errors, The second game was another Waterloo, 16 to 1, Philadelphia having the contest all to her- self. Galvin and Miller and Sanders’ and Schriver were the batteries. ‘The Phillies made 21 hits and 1 error. and the Burgers 4 hits and 4 errors, New York played perfect ball and scalped the Indians 8 to 3. The points were occupied by Rusie and Myers and Welch and Ewing. The Giants made 8 hits and 6 errors and the Hoosiers 8 hits and 6 errors.

To the Editor of Tux EVENING Stan: In the interest of the public, particularly of the poor toiling classes, I beg leave to call the attention of the District Commissioners to a class of our public officials who, I think, are drawing pay from our Dsitrict government for services not rendered. Those whose duty it is, or should be, to look after and see that the pumps of the city are kept in proper repair appear to give no attention in that direction. Instead of attending to the pum 18 for the bene- fit and comfort of the people, there seems to be asystematic neglect, and’ the pumps fall into disuse with worn-out suckers, broken handies, or handles removed and ladles wrenched off. Particularly is this the case in the neighborhood of liquor saloons. Then the next tricky “attention” is to remove the pump and fill up the well. ‘The pump on the corner of Ist and I streets northwest bas been out of repair and no water from it for four or five months with worn-out sucker, ‘This pump has always been noted for excellent water. ‘The pump on the corner of 5th and I streets northwest has been out of repair about seven months, the handle having been removed. This pump has also been noted for excellent water, About the Ist of November last a pump of excellent water, on D street, between ist and 2d streets northwest, was removed. The prop- erty holders of the neighborhood, headed by Mr. Thos, Geary, got up a petition to the Dis- Comunissioners praying against the re- moval. ‘That pump was considered one of the best in the city for its superior water, and yet the petition was disregarded and the well filled up. It is well known that the Potomac water is often in a muddy, sandy, and dirty condition, and in the summer months it is warm and nau- seous and not very desirable for drinking ex- cept when used with ice. There are many poor the rate of 5 or 10 cents a day for that luxury; neither are they weil able to bear the burden of anannual tax for the “privilege” of using | Potomac water, and should not be debarred of the blessings intended for our use by Almighty God. : The opinion has been repeatedly expressed tome by several gentlemen that the muddy condition of the Potomac water tends to kidney disorder and the terrible disease known as “gravel.” Indeed, I think so from my own ex- perience.

Curious Relics Found in the Graves of | He Disapproved the Washington Asylum Aborigines in West Virginia. ‘To the Editor of Tax Evexixe Star: About ten days ago I again visited the Indian graves near Romney, W. Va. It seems that ashes played an important part’ in the burial ceremony, as I found from half a peck to five bushels of ashes in each grave. The method of burial, so far as I can judge from careful ex- amination, was as follows: They dug or scooped outa hole from1to 5 feet deep by 2 feet wide and 3 feet long in the hard, stiff clay, which underlies a covering of 2 feet of soft, sandy loam. These holes were filled with ashes and cinders, among which were parts of the skull and horns of deer and bones of other animals, though they showed no signs of being burned or charred. "On top of these ashes the body was placed and then covered with the sandy loam. At the bottom of one of these graves we found a pot made of clay, about 22 inches in diameter by 9 inches deep. the sides of which were of elaborate ornamentation, the principal being a carved face about every 6 inches around the top. In the pot was the upper shell of a turtle, jaw bone of a squirrel and several clam shells—evidences of food placed in the grave for use in the journey to “the happy hunting grounds.” teen The pottery consisted of three kinds—yeilow, brown and ‘bleak, The first was for common use, with but little ornamentation; the second was ornamented to some extent, but the last was the Royal Worcester of Indian art produc- tion, and was, without doubt, placed in the graves of those only who were greatly distin- guished, Among the articles found was a knife made of coppér roughly beaten out. The blade was five inches long wd one and a-quarter inches broad, and its dull, sandstone-sharpened edge must have required strong muscular exertion ‘on the part of the operator to remove the scalp of his dead enemy.

Problems Which are Attracting Atten- tion in Montgomery County, Md. Correspondence of Tux EVENING Star. Rockvinxe, July 21, 1889. Considerable indignation is openly expressed by the people of our county living along the Chesapeake and Ohio canal at the refusal of the canal directors to accept the proposition of Messrs, Cushwa and Darby of Williamsport to repair the line of this important waterway from Williamsport to the connecting link between that place and Darkey’s lock, the line between that point and Cumberland having been placed in the bands of Merton & Co, of Cumberland, They look upon the matterin thislight: If the canal company have the right to guarantee the payment of money for theGeorgetown leveland the payment of the same for the distance be- tween Cumberland and Darkey’s lock, why cannot they guarantee the same security to parties who will invest their ony, in airs at any point along the line. While it is true that Cushwa dDarby ask for the power of appointing botlheit ‘lock ten- ders and regular force of hands in making re* pairs, they are willing to give bonds for the strict performance of their contract. and they guarantee a full showing of receipts to the com- pany. The people of this county liying in proximity to the canal want that waterwa; opened, and they are not particularly sensitiv as to a strict construction of the law that is supposed to govern the canal company, know- ing that for years the franchises of the same have been used for the political advancement of those in the “ring,” without regard to the interests of the state or the people. The action of the canal company at the Carrollton hotel conference seems to seal the fate of that waterway, and many people in this sec- tion openly avow that the non-concurrence in the plan to repair the canal from Cumber- land to Williamsport based upon the idea that the present management does not wish the people to know that the cost will be far below the estimated figures, and aleo that in employing private help the contractors might deprive the managers of an important number of votes that could be controlled this fall. Under the present management the affairs of the canal look decidedly “‘blue,” and. as men- tioned in this correspondence the week after the flood, nothing of importance will be done until after the meeting of the legislature in January next. Upon the opinion of the attor- ney general new repair bonds have been issued to-day. They will not command 10 cents on the dollar. ‘The canal is a wreck, and Gorman, will eventually pick the floatage efit of the West Virginia railroad Davis & for the be: company. But two weeks more remain of the campay for nomination on the democratic ticket of this county and the political pot is fiercely boiling, Regular business for the time being is sus- pended, and at every public place in the little towns and at every crossroads and farmhouse may be seen groups of active aspirants and their friends anxious to secure votes, The most important contest in this connection, so far as state ics are concerned, is that be- tween Dr. Edward Wootton and Howard Griffith for the state senate, and the position is eagerly fought for on account of the winner having a vote for United States Senator. It is generally understood that Mr. Griffith is the favorite of the present managers of the party in the state, and that his name was first id ‘by @ prominent manager of this county ab @ conference held at the Arlin, ton, in Washington, some months ago, which meeting were present the leaders of the party in the state.

The prisoner lived with his wife and child in rooms at No. 803 D street northwest. He recently found fault with his wife about her daughter, and Saturday morning he took the girl to an institution in Baltimore. Upon his return his wife complained of his actions and said she wanted to see a iceman to in- * Magid about his right to take the child away. ir, Smith, to accommodate his wife, called at the police station for an officer, He was in- formed that policemen did not interfere with domestic troubles of that kind and he returned to hishome. At that time Smith appeared to be under the influence of liquor. it night their trouble was renewed, and Smith and his wife were picked pp at the bottom of the ste; Policeman Barney arrested Smith, His wife was found to have boen seriously injured. Her collar bone was broken and she was otherwise badly bruised. She was taken to the Emer- gency hospital, where her injuries were dressed. Her ‘husband was locked up.

Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minister, who, accompanied by Mr. Edwardes, secretary of legation, sailed for Europe Saturday, said to @ reporter before he left: “I shall remain abroad, I think, until October 2, when my wife and four daughters will accompany me to Washington.” Sir Julian added that he was delighted with Washington and the life which he had led here. The city he considered ideal and surpassing in beauty many of the capitals of the continent. He was particularly struck with the great intelligence of the masses, and attrib- uted it to the excellence of the public schools, The lower classes especially he believed to be much more intelligent than their colleagues over the sea. He had always found them polite and ready to answer any question which a stranger asked them, Sir Julian declared that he had not suffered from the Washington heat to any great degree and that his general health had been excellent. He had gained somewhat in flesh during his short stay here, We expects an interesting season during the coming winter and feels that Lady Pauncefote and his daughters, only one of whom has made her debut in society, will be equally pleased with the national capital and its people. —_$_o—____ Eugene Loughran, who for thirty years has had charge of the billiard room at the Girard house, Philadelphia, died Saturday.

Senator McCarty arose to speak. “I agree with the amendment” (forbidding dancing in the celebration at the completion of the state capitol), said he. “Since this has been agitated letters have come to me from strangers, asking that the senate of Georgia commit itself not to the ball. Ithascome from Christrian people. It is the strength of the churches that is exerted in this land to prevent dancing. Every church in the land stands up against it. The issue was tried in a church in Atlanta years ago, and great confusion resulted from it. Iam not prepared to say that a great many elegant poople do not dance, but when you go down to the solid church people of Georgia they don’t approve of it, Why should we turn the capitol over to these frivolities? I have a letter from a Christian woman at Albany, a stranger to me, but I know from her letter that she is a Christian woman, and she protests against this use of the capitol. What minister in the state of Georgia would vote against that amendment? They are en- deavoring to pull the churches up to what they conceive to be correct Christian sentiment, and here we are invited by resolution to turn the capitol over to that which every pulpit, when- ever occasion offers, is speaking against, and sincerely against.” Then Mr. Johnson, the gallant young Sena- tor from Columbus, took a hand: “Is not the capitol large enough to let those who wish to dance stay at this end, and those who do not wish to dance stay in that end?” “I do not believe it is right to turn the capi- tol of over to have a ball.
