The executive committee of the triennial conclave met Satuarday night and awarded to | Fletcher & Langstaff of this city the contract | for the publication of the official program. | Arrangements were reported by the commit- tee on excursions which showed that there would be excursions to various points on the river on four dayé while the conclave is here, beginning on Tuesday, and on two of the days two trips will be made each day. Secretary Harrison Dinginan of the local committee has heard directly from 213 com- manderies which will be present. They will _ 15,750 sir knights, and there will be not | less than 2,000 other sir knights in line, as more | than that number have already notified the sec- , retury that they will be here.

Saturday ht and yesterday at least twenty Chinamen called to see Hop, but nope of them could get him to talk. Sam Sing, who is Hop Wah’s brother, called at the station and said that he had re- ceived a letter from another brother,who wants | to send Hop to China. As soon as he H guarantee That Hop will be sent to police will gladly release him. Dr. McKim ex- amined the patient and decided that was in- sane.

In one case the officer testitied that the party had been drunk six or seven times in as many months. The court said that to shut a man up asa vagrant for being drunk several times in six months would be out of reason and would crowd so gen In the case of Kate Dab- ney the officer said he had seen her drunk every day except two for two weeks. She was sent down. mecca A Proposed Revival of Cricket. ‘To the Editor of Ta ENING STAR: Why not let us revive the game of cricket in Washington? No doubt we could find some old THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C. MOLLIE BOSWELL’S DEATH. A Jury Decides that Her Leap From ® Window Did Not Cause It. Saturday afternoon Coroner Patterson held an inquest at the first precinct station to de- termine when, where and in what manner Mollie Boswell was killed. The body of the woman wasin the undertaking establishment of Mr. J. W. Lee, where Dr. E. M. Schaeffer, the deputy coroner, performed the autopsy. THE FIGHT AND THE LEAP. The first witness called was a young man named Henry Crocker, who lives in house No. 1011 E street, where the woman received her fatal injuries. He testified that on the night of the affair he was awakened by hearing a noise in John Norris’room. He heard a wo- man say: “I'll jump out the window.” Then he heard a man say: “Jump.” Whenhe raised his window he saw the woman half out of Nor- ris’ window. Presently she let go and dropped down into the alley upon the cobble stones. Witness said that there were two persons in the room. He heard loud talking. Somet fell against his door and he thought it was the woman. “Do you know of their evér ha quar- reled before?” asked a juror. ie “I do not,” replied witness. “Did any one call for help?” “Not that I heard.” BE BEARD THE RUMPUS. John Walters was asleep in his room, directly beneath the one from which the woman jumped. He testified that he was awakened by loud noises in the room. He went upstairs and rapped on the door several times. “What did you do that for?” he was asked. “Because I wanted to know,” he replied, “what was going on in the room.” Norris opened the door and witness inquired, “What's the matter?” “That woman jumped out of the window,” was Norris’ reply. “I looked out the window,” said witness, “and, sure enough, she was lying on her back in the alley, screaming.” “Policeman Ceinar was next called. He went to the house on E street on the night of the affair. He said that when he arrived at the house the woman was being taken away. He saw the witness He Crocker, who told him of the fight between Norris and the woman. “I saw right away,” said a juror, “that Crocker did not want to tell all about it.” *” DEATH CAUSED BY ALCOHOLISM. Dr. Schaeffer testified to the diseased condi- tion in which he found the body. He was unable to trace the cause of death to any in- jury. Her leg was fractured,but it had nothing to do with the death. Heart disease, superin- duced by aicoholism,was the cause he assigned. Policeman Barney testified that he assisted in taking the woman to the hospital. There was @ large lump on the woman's head, which she said was done by John Norris. She said that he wouldn’t let her out the room and she jumped from the window. Policeman Oriani gave similar testimony, and said Mollie told him that John beat her in the lumber yard before they went to the house. The witness Crocker was recalled and he ex- plained what he said to Officer Ceinar on the ight of the affair. ir. Gill of the emergency hospital. who at- tended the injured woman, and to whom she made a statement, was not called as a witness, nor was Mamie Carroll, who also knew of her past life and the statements she had made of the affair. ’ ASSISTED BY AN ORGAN GRINDER. When the room was cleared it was evident that all the jurors were not of the same opin- ion, They argued the case fully half an hour, and did not reach a conclusion until an Italian organ ‘grinder came along. fe was hired to play several tunes in front of the jury room, and it was not until he played “White Wings Never Grow Weary” that the jury rendered the following verdict: “Mary Boswell came to her death from chronic alcoholism and heart disease. From the evi- dence we are of the opinion that death’was hastened by jumping from the window, but that the act was voluntary ana that the maa Norris was not responsible.” John Norris is in jail, as there isa charge of assault pendin against him in the Pouice Court. That charge will no doubt be nolie prossed. ee ti eee SHE WAS AN ARABIAN PEDDLER. The Old Woman Killed on the Rail- road identified at Last. The body of the old woman who was killed at the intersection of Boundary and 9th streets northeast by a Baltimore and Ohio railroad train last Friday has been identified as that of Annie M. Joseph, an Arabian peddler. As heretofore stated in Taz Star, $143 was found tied in a piece of calico around the dead wom- an’s body. ‘the 3100 note has been claimed by Samuel George, also an Arabian peddler. George says that he had been in the habit of aving his money in his room,but on one occa- sion when he went out of the city he was robbed. After that he got a $100 bill for some small notes and gave Mrs. Joseph the bill to keep for him. Hesayshe can produce a number of witnesses to gt that the money belongs to him. He will have to produce his proof in court. The old woman has no relatives in this coun- try, but it is said she has a son in Arabia. When she came to this country she went to Philadel- phia and there lived on South 7th street. In this city she has been living at the house of Mrs. Dyer, No. 15 C street northeast. In her room hada large chest filled with pins, needles, notions and novelties—her stock in trade. together with a valise of clothing, constituted her effects. Friday she packed her basket and in the afternoon she left her home to travel through the country, to be gone sev- eral days, but at Boundary she stepped on the wrong railroad track and was Coroner Patterson heard the the eye witnesses to the tragedy, including the railroad employes, and also the statements of the police re who investigated the case. The coroner deemed an inquest unnecessary and gave a certificate of accidental death. wr wanton irshaan Temperance Tent Meetings.

It might be well to rechristen some of our umpires, A Philadelphia reper is authority for the statement that the Washington team in its re- cent visit to Indianapolis did the best batting of any club that had been there this season, and giving as a reason the fact that the Sena- tors were onto the signs of the pitchers. If this be true it is important, for if a team can solve one set of signs itcan do the same with another. What with amended rules and strict umpiring pitching is becoming more and more a business of bluff and tricks, and the wint battery is today the one that has the most solvable signs.

The Washington Light Infantry corps and the Corcoran cadets left on Saturday night for their encampment at Atlantic City They were accompanied by a large number of their friends and gloried in the escort of thousands of pretty girls. Pennsylvania avenue was crowded with people who would like to have gone, but who couldn't make it convenient just now, so they solaced themselves by cheering the soidier boys. A few enthusiasts ignited a number of colored fires as the departing ones marched down to the Baltimore Potomac depot. The special train on which the excur- sionists left pulled out of the depot at 9:45 amid the farewell salutations of an immense crowd, Departare of the G. A. R. Delegates. The Baltimore and Ohio depot shortly before 10 o’clock on Saturday night was filled with men in uniform and men with badges and gold- corded slouch hats. They were veterans all— some of them members of the Grand Army of the a while others were more at- tractively clad in the showy uniform of the Grand — escort—the Old Guard, Twenty- one of the Grand Army men were del to the G.A.R. encampment at Milwaukee. The: were headed by Department Commander W. 8. Odell. The special train of tour day coaches and four sleepers was boarded as soon as the commands reached the depot, and a few min- has visited the island in six weeks was blowing energetic promises of bad weather across the sky; a driving mist filled the air, prophetic of a steady frown from Jupiter Pluvius, and every- one thought that there would be the same rainy reception which greeted the men under the shakos in 1888, But this did not deter the people, both the military and civilians, from turning out hugely to make the boys feel at home, And it was a rousing The infantry ane may well feel proud of it. As early as 6:30 Mayor Hoffman, accom} by nearly all the members of and the other leading citizens of this favored spot, were at the dey awaiting the l train with its special burden. The scheduled for its arrival was 7 o'clock, and, notwithstanding the delay at the Was n end of the line, it was only ten minutes To say that the members of the Infantry and the Corcoran Cadets were surprised when they filed out of the cars would be tigate ology. Drawn up on the platform, which had been excellently policed by order of the mayor, were three soldier organizations—the Morris Guards and the Meher Rifles, both of Atlantic Oity, commanded respectively by Capt. Smith Capt. Sam Perry, and Company F of the first regiment, national state of Penn- sylvania, commanded by Capt. Geo, Eiler, jr. THE LINE OF MARCH was immediately taken up Atlantic avenue to Méine avenue, thence to Pacific avenue and down the latter thoroughfare to the United States hotel, upon the lawn of which the com- modious tents had been erected for the visiting soldiery’s accommodation. Drawn up upon the lawn the Infantry and the Cadets listened to avery well-timed speech of welcome from Mayor Hoffmann, to which Major Command- ing Dalton made a pleasant and appropriate reply. ‘the escorting soldiery marched out with colors flying and bands playing: ‘The stars and stripes and the blue and white burgee of the corps were run up to the head of the flagstaff by Sergeants Brandt and Brooke, the National Guard band of Baltimore. which companied the Infantry, played the “Star Spangled Banner,” and the “Washington Light Infantry corps camp at Atlantic City for 1839” was duly opened, GETTING THINGS IN READINESS. Assoon as ranks were broken and arms and accouterments were properly disposed of the men went to work preparing their tents and embellishing their interiors, The boys were very much charmed and a good deal bothered, to tell the truth, by the hundreds of visitors who thronged the camp. When a soldier is settling himself for a week's stay ina tent he does not want to be disturbed by visitors, especially when he is arranging his fetiches, but the gallantry that characterizes the Dis- trict’s doughty warriors prevented them from showing their troubled feelings. They smiled and bowed; worked and perspired; afswered innumerable foolish and unreasonable ques- tions and told everybody everything they wanted to know, and before rp Gomes got read: for dinner and had finished becoming uni- formed interrogation points the camp was in splendid order and comfort reigned supreme, THE “BIG SIX” MESS. The messes had been arranged and at that of the famous “Big Six,” which occupies three tents, was a constant stream of visitors. In fact the hospitable reception tent of this mess was the maguetic wigwam which attracted all visitors. The “Big Six” is numerically stronger than its title would indicate. It is composed ot Capt. John G, Cowie, Lieuts. Ar- noid and Keough, Sergts. Sim Johnson and Ham Cruger, Sergt. Maj. Brandt, Privates Ed. Moore, A. G. White, G, ‘I, Thomas and Corp, Donelly, Among the many callers at this point of hospitable vantage were M. A. Tappan and wife, James Fullerton, Dr. B. B, Jounston, Dr. Sam King, Howard Keyworth, Frank M. Lewis, De Vin Finckel of the Post, OTHER POPULAR MESSES, There were also many callers at the mess of the “Four Aces,” which hard-to-beat aggrega- tion consists of Sergt. Jesse Grant, Corp. Pete Schneider and Privates J. C. Speer and Charles Josetti. The boys occupy a most tastefully ar- ranged tent, which seems more like a ego with its Turkish rugs-covered floor and its lace curtains, than the abode of warriers, “The “Keystone” is another dandy mess, and the tent it occupies vies with that of the others in splendor. There are only three men in it—Serg*. Carll, Corp. Scott and Private Gal- loway—but they make up in elegance what they lack in numbers and avoirdupois, Sergts. Snreve and Plugge and Privates De- maine and Knight compose the ‘Bachelors’ Mess” and are splendidly fixed up.
