Walk j VIOLATIONS OF THE LIQUOR LAW What a Liquor Dealer Has to Say on the Subject. ‘To the Editor of Tux Evextna Stam: Tam a law-abiding citizen of the District of Columbia and engaged in a legitimate business. ‘The frequent tioiasion of the liquor law has set me to thinking as to whether or not there is any way of effectually putting a stop to such violations. It is a question that has interested me much since engaging in the liquor business in this city and it should interest all citizens of the District who desire that law and order should prevail and the Sabbath day kept holy and regarded as a day of rest. In along our public thoroughfares on a Sabbath day it does not require a very keen eye for one to observe that there are many engaged in the business who have very little respect for the law. Those licensed to carry on the business know full well that they are hibited from keeping their places open or selling on Sunday, yet it is wel) known that there are many who repeatedly violate the law. Such flagrant vio- lations of the law governing the liquor traffic have a tendency to cause people to look with suspicion upon those who respect and obey the Jaw. It naturally brings them all in bad repute, The business is a legitimate one and should be conducted with due respect for the law, which is not so complicated but what all ean interpret and understand it. Ihave been en- gaged‘ the liquor business both here and elsewhcre for a long time and have always en- deayored to obey the law. Many, for the love of the almighty dollar, violate with impunity and if convicted they escape with a light fine, only to immediately resume business and continue the offense, being, however, a little more cautious. It is not diffi- cult for one who is known to gain access to such places on Sunday, for it is impossible for en officer to have his eye upon every saloon whilst “going his rounds.” NOT SEVERE ENOUGH. Idesire to say that, in my opinion, the law is not severe enough. -Upon conviction for such a violation a fine of not less than $200 nor more than $500 should be imposed for the first offense and for the second offense a fine of not less than $500 and the license of the offender revoked, and the party so convicted should be rohibited from again engaging in the business for at least one year. This, I believe, would put a stop to the illegal traffic and the business would be considered more honorable and respectable by the better class of people. ‘Let all who respect law and good order unite in their efforts to suppress “Sunday selling” by bringing the offenders to justice, and let the courts impose the soverest penalty for each and every offense and thus compel them to re- spect and obey the law, Let all who are engaged in the business and respect law join with all good citizens and aid the officers in their efforts to bring the guilty one to justice. If the law is not stringent enough let efforts be made to have such others enacted as will command respeet and force obedience. A DraLer. ————— ROWING IN THE RAIN. The Annual Regatta of the Columbia Athletic Club—interesting Races. Those who braved the rain storm yesterday afternoon to see the annual regatta of the Co- Inmbia athletic club were few in number, but enthusiastic. The races could not have been postponed on account of the desire of the mem- bers of the crews to leave town. The crews were subjected to some changes in boats and positions. THE JUNIOR CREWS. At about the starting time the junior crews in eights drew up in line and awaited the sig- nal to start. The course was from a point op- posite the boat house, around the piers of the new bridge, thence back to the starting point, The winning crew which was composed of F. D. Lewis, senior. stroke; E. Johnson, 7: C. Ballantyne, 6; W. H. Lewis, 5; John Irwin, 4; R. D. Simms, 3; F. Staylor, 2; W. Teel, bow; Andy Smith, coxswain, were fortunate enough to possess a new boat which, in the opinion of some persons, was of great advantage to them. The start was a good one, and it was any one’s race to the bridge, but here the turn made by the new boat was exceptionally good, and by it the race was won, for from the bridge down to the finish the new Yoat had the best of it. The unfortunates were: Shoemaker, 8; Stoutenburg, 7; Chay Simms, 6; Stewart, 5: O. Connell, KR. Be jeorge Brock. 2, Moulton, bow; Capt. G son, coxswain, and were beaten about a length and a hal: wn EIGUTS, The event in which the greater portion of the interest was centered was the race between the senior eight and the junior eight. By the original program an intermediate race should have been rowed between the gigs, but owing to the failure of one of the gigs to appear the race was given to the crew comprising Harban, 4; Woodward, 3; Zeigler, 2; Elder, 1; Andy Smith, coxswain, who rowed over the course. But little time was consumed by the eights in getting in position and being sent off with the seniors slightly in the lead. Before many strokes had been taken the two crews were on about even terms and both struggling for ail they were worth. There was searcely any percept- ible advantage in the lead by either crew at the bridge in going or returning, and from the one with the seniors slightly in the lead. They won by half a length or less, The crews were as follows: Seniors—Lee Harban, stroke; J, M. Kenyon, % Joseph Kondroup, ¢; Sloan, 8; Keer, 4H. Beail, 3; B. Moore, 2; Elder, bow; Andy Smith, coxswain. Janiors—Shoemaker, stroke; Stoutenburg, 7; Staylor, 6; Stewart, 5; O'Connell, 4; Chap. Simms, 3; R. D. Simms, 2; ©. Ballantyne, 1; Capt. Gibson, coxswain. a POLITICS IN MARYLAND. The Fall Campaign in Washington County—The Coming Fair, etc. Correspondence of Tur Evenrxe Stan. Hacenstown, Sept. 12. Politics for the fall campaign is now assuming shape in this county. The republicans, who found themselves handicapped from the fact of no one being legally authorized to call the central committee “together —its officers having received governmeut appointment away from home—have at last found their way out of the difficulty by the members of the com- mittee mutually agreeing to meet and reor- ganize. This they have done by selecting Charles G. Briggs of Sharpsburg as presiding officer and A.C. Stute of Hagerstown, secre- tary. The committee has called for the holding of pri ies in the various districts on Satur- day, September 28, to select delegates to o county convention, which will in turn choose resentatives to the state convention which — in Hagerstown on Tuesday, Octo- The democrats have called primaries for Sat- urday, September 21, to a county convention to A county officers, but have not desig- nated the time of holding this convention, leaving that to the discretion of the chairman of the central committee; For several years past both parties have been playing ‘hide-and- # CLOSE RACE BETWEEN THE SENIOR AXD SUXIOR | bridge down again the race was a pretty even | FROM ATLANTIC CITY. ‘What a Washingtonian Says About the Great Storm There. Mra, G. 8. Cromwell of Q street, who has had 8 cottage at Atlantic City during the summer, and her daughter, Mrs. Lewis, reached Wash- ington last night after a perilous all-day trip yesterday. The train upon which they left At- antic City ran many miles over tracks, the coaches.frequently careening from one side to the other, occasioned by washouts of the road bed. The waves of the ocean driven by fierce winds were to be seen far up into the meadows and sweeping over the tracks of the railroads, ‘A GRAND BUT TERRIFIC SIGHT. Mrs. Cromwell, as did s large number of others, had to vacate her cottage and take refuge in the large hotels and houses, and even they boomer aggre Pasags ae = ness of the gale. Stan upon veran and in the windows of the Sunset house, where Mrs. Cromwell and other Washi were, the guests were in fall view of the beach and could see the hovoc the winds and waters were spreading along the board walk and about the pavilions and t houses. The board walk, 80 well known and patronized by Washi: ntans, was literally picked up and dashed sre splinters upon the ground in the city and against the houses. The great strongly-con- structed pavilions one by one would be lifted up, parted asunder and engulfed in raging foamy waves, Tle last to succumb was the newly-built iron pier and wilion, which seemed but lattice-work when it finally yielded to the force of the storm. Those who had the nerve to stand and look upon the scene picture it as grand and terrible beyond description. A CITY OF RUINS. The queen of summer resorts a week ago iti today almost a wilderness of ruins, The entire shore from the inlet to the once beautiful beach of Chelsea is a scene of devastation. ‘There is scarcely a vestige of a house left on Baltic avenue. Many cottages ure in a totter- ing condition, Numbers of the streets are filled with water, others withslime. Parties in reaching the depot yesterday had to pick their ways along through water and debris and then risk a dangerous ride along an inundated and dangerous track. Provisions were getting short and the reopening of communication yesterday was just in time to save trouble and suffering. Many of the people were frantic from fright and doubtless much bodily and mental derangement will result from the terri- ble experience of the storm, ae IN THE POLICE COURT TODAY. Petty Criminals Tried and Sentenced— A Boy, Witness. When Judge Mills took his seat in the Police temple of justice this morning there was the usual crowd of visitors who, in bad weather, come in out of the rain. There was just one score of prisoners in the dock and many of them were the “‘old familiar faces.” A COMPETENT WITNESS. George Lewis, a small boy, was interrogated a8 to his qualifications as a witness, “How old are you?” asked Mr. Shillington. “Twelve years,” he replied, “Can you read and write?” “No, sir.” “Do you go to school ?” “J just started last year.” “Do you know what it is to take an oath?” “Yes, sir.” “What will become of you if you takean oath and tell a lie?” “Why, you go to the devil then, of course.” He was accepted as a competent witness, HIS NAME IS DENNIS. “Spicer Dennis” was the first victim called, He paused a moment in the doorway and then walked to the rail, “Are you guilty or not guilty?” asked Clerk Clagett. “Of what?” “Disorderly conduct.” “Yes, indeed; guilty all the way through; I was drunk,” “Two weeks” was the sentence. OTHER CASES. Mary Nuttrell and Ellen Graves responded when Bailiff Kendig shouted, ‘‘Next prisoners!” Mary’s honest reply that she had “taken o drop” caused the court to give her the benefit of telling the truth. She was given sixty days, but her companion was given thirty days more. “Guilty,” answered Pat Harris, colored, wheu charged with using profane language. “Five dollars or one month,” said the judge. Robert Olive was fined $5 or one month for dis- orderly conduct. Ninety days on the farm was Edward O*Rourke’s sentence for vagrancy, Fred. Hawkins plead guilty to a charge of be- ing disorderly in an al i and was fined $5 or two veeks on the farm. Eli Beckett, a colored citizen from Georgetown, was charged with fast driving, and Judge Mills fined him $10 or 30 days on the farm. ‘IAL CONCLAVE. The Work of Preparation—Visiting Knights Templar, Etc. The Knights Templar headquarters in the Atlantic building is the center of a good deal of business just now. As the time of the meeting of the great conclave draws near the work of preparation increases, Secretary Dingman, who is the presiding genius at head- quarters, is well equipped for the numerous demands made upon bis time and patience. He is ready to answer all questions and gives the desired information with the exactness of an eheyclopedia. The visiting delegations from commanderies throughout the country still make their appearance almost daily at headquarters. Their arrangements for accom- modations in this city have already been made by letter through the local committees, but there are numerous details which can be best determined by personal visits. It is seldom that the visitors find it n to remain here longer than a few hours. The work of the local committees has been done so thoroughly that the visitors find but little to do. VISITORS TO HEADQUARTERS, Today Lewis H. Raymond, the commander of Manhattan commandery, No. 81, of New York city, made a call on Secretary Dingman. Stephen G, Condit, the master of Greenwood commandery, No, 58, and Henry Vogt, the geueralissimo of St. Elmo commandery, No. 57, of Brooklyn, were also in the city and visited headquarters. Chairman Parker, who has been suffering with a bad cold, wént to Philadelphia a few days ago and returned last evening.

To the Editor of Taz Evenre Star: In your issue of the 9th there appears a com- munication, under the signature of “Linden.” In that statement the writer endeavors to throw the blame on the Montgomery county authori- ties for not holding an inquest earlier upon the poor man who was killed on the railroad. The facts are these: ae eee around Linden knew of the death of man, and some viewed his remains as early as 7 o'clock a.m. on the morning of the 8th instant, But no word reached the coroner until about 10:40 a.m., and that through a young man of that vicinity, but not connected With the Balti- more and Ohio railroad in any capacity. Immediately I proceeded direct to the three miles distant, taking from my neighbor- “hood some of the jury. en I found it was necessary to have the assistance of the sheriff, and, after viewing the remains, sent for him a distance of four miles or more (Gerri J eight miles in the trip). He responded without lay, and within en minutes after his arrival inden had the jury summoned and taking testimony, With other effects were found Grand Army badge No. B, 5346, 1881-1886, which may throw some ten on his identity, which your cor- respondent has failed to note. The time con- sumed from first hearing of this accident by the Montgomery county authorities until his remains were given into the hands of the sheriff for burial was about four hours, instead as stated by your correspondent, I positively assert that the portions of his scattered remains were not gathered as stated by your correspondent, for they were shown to me (by pergons living in sight of the — there. {regret exceedingly tnat thoveliving i ere.

It will be re- membered that recently Capt. Symons recom- mended that the necessary legal steps be taken to establish the title to the ground and that the Satay bay pone be directed not to issue permits to build on the land in question. The matter was referred to the attorney for the District, who reports thut the proposed pro- ceedings of ejectment would be brought in the name of the United States. Mr. Taggart, the assistant United States attorney, has promised to aid in the matter as soon as possible. AS TO CHANGING THE NAMES OF STREETS. The Commissioners in passing upon the re- quest of Margaret Toner et al. for the chang- ing of the name Boundary street between Masea- chusetts avenue and 8 street to Hamilton say that they doubt their authority to the name of Boundary street without the action of Congress. The question of confusion in the nomber of the eee hee been referred to 1 pect 0! ildit for report as to whether the numbering on the street cannot be made more satisfactory. CLAIMS DAMAGES FROM THE DISTRICT. Some days ago Mayor W. F. Tucker wrote to the Commissioners claiming for the drowning of his horse, which was fright- ened by dogs and ran away and owing to the bad condition of the roads was drowned, Capt. Symons was called upon for a report and he says it is manifestly out of the —— for the District to be responsible for mages for runaway horses. The matter has been referred to Attorney Riddle.

It has heretofore been stated in Tux Star that the duties of street sweeping would shortly be transferred to the police department from the health office. Yesterday afternoon the Commissioners issued the final orders in rela~ tion thereto as follows: “Ordered: That the health officer is hereby relieved from the duty of supervising and in- specting, the sprinkling, sweeping and cleaning of streets, avenues and alleys, He will turn over all books, documents and papers in his charge pertaining to that work to the major and superintendent of police and take his re- ceipt therefor.
