SCENE AT THE DEPOT LAST NIGHT—TRE SOLDIER BOYS ESCORTED BY THEIR COMRADES IN ARMS RECEPTION AT THE DRILL HALL—RONORS IN PROSPECT FOR THE COMMAND. No military organization returning to its home in thiscity ever received a more en- thusiastic weleome than did the National | Fencibles when they came back last night from the Kansas City encampment and competitive drill. All along the route from the Bultimore and Ohio station to the second regiment armory there was enthusiasm, pyrotechnic ebullition and smoke. There was a big crowd out, a crowd that lined Pennsylvania avenue and F street Pretty thoroughiy. and the individual who was | hot satistied with the parade must be hard to please. The escorting companies were as neatas the proverbial “new pin” and they received their share of attention, but the plaudits were showered most heavily. and nat- uraliy, upon a travel-stained company, the members of which carried their guns in brown cases and wore feather-clad models of roosters in their fatigue caps, Every man was hot and tired, but they stepped as briskiy as the best | company in the escort and did some excellent | Marching and wheeling. There an abun- dance of fireworks judiciously distributed along the line. THE ARRIVAL AT THE DEPOT. It was a Jittle later than 8:30 when the vic- | torious guardsmen arrived at the Baltimore and Ohio depot. They had enjoyed a brief rest at Cumberland. aud then they treated the inhabitants of that pleasant Maryland town to an exhibition drill, the like of which was never | betore witnessed in that burgh. When that was over they were as tifed as though they had not rested at all. For a few minutes they waited | in the depot and then their faces brightened | through the cowl dust as Major Fred. | Brackett of the second battalior followed by the stay-at-home members of the Fencibles, | tramped down the steps, around the crowd that oceupied the center of the room, and past the prize winners, during which series of oper- ations there was more yelling and congratala- tion to the square inch than anybody present ever heard before. Immediately in rear of the stay-at-homes marched the victors, and as they took up their position on b street south of New Jersey avenue the escorting companies drawn up in iine presented arma, THE PARADE. The parade was a brilliant success, Col. W. G. Moore was in command, clad in the well- known uniform of the Washington Light In- fantry Corps. With him was his staff and then there followed four companies of white-coated sbako-wearing and perspiring soldiers. Sixteen | companies of the National Guard were in line, while the National Rifles—a crimson contrast tothe blae coats all around them—showed their friendly feeling for Capt. Domer and his men by turning out im force with Capt. Jas, F. Oyster in command, Music was furnished’ by pal Guard and Third Artilery bands aud the National Guard Drum Corps, ‘The ri e followed was that outiined in yes- and it wax covered by 9:30 @elock. ‘y striking was the scene us the second battalion marched past the line which | drawn up ata present between Jth and 10th eta. Several colored tires were ignited and the various uniforms never looked so pretty as then. It was a grand spectacular effect, IN THE DRILL HALL, In the second regiment drill hall there was a big crowd, composed principally of relatives and friends of the Fencibies, and when the dirty, happy prize winners came in they sent Up & shout that was gratifyingly noisy. Bou- quets were showered on Capi. Domer and Cor- poral s fair haads pinned on each ow pretty flower. Col, Moore Was to b Ve made One of his neat littie speeches and was present for that purpose, but he was hoarse and weary.so he was permitted todepart without having done any more than congratu- late. the boys individually by saying that he Was proud of them and would joia their com- pauy if they would have him. GREETED BY FAIR ONES, In Maj. Brackett’s headquarters a collation Was spread, and to this the hungry and thirsty ones did ample justice. A number of young ladies, among them the Misses Brackett. Mrs. €. B. Kheem, Mrs, Mosher and others, did their best to lelp those who were too diftident to help themselves, Corporal Sessford got a warm Welcome. As soon as he got inside the door his mother reached up, put both arms around bis neck and gave hun a good, old-iashioned, motherly hug. Mrs, Sessford was proud of her prize winner. RECEPTIONS TO BE GIVES. Mrs. Senator Davis will give the Fencibles a reception at her residence on Massachusetts avenue on Tuesday evening ang a similar honor will be done the boys on Friday evening at Mrs. Clarence B. Rheem's home on § street, Capt. ¢ Domer D. Domer is a son of Rev. Dr. S. stor of St. Paul's English Lutheran ot this city. He was born in Silino Grove, Pa. in 1867, and is consequently twenty- three vears of age. He was only seven years of age when the’ family came to Washington. He is, therefore.a Wash- ington young man, hay- ing grown from boy- hood to young man- me ood here.

He displayed a taste for military affairs in boy- hood and soon developed a talent in that di- Feetion. He organized the Nationa! Rifles Ca- dets and became their captain when only six- teen years of age. Afterward he resigned as captain of the cadets and became a member of the National Kifles. Subsequently he organ- ized the National Fencibles and was chosen their captain. He has distinguished himself ‘95 a most efficient and successful officer. His maguiticently drilled company is sufficient proof of his efficiency and military skill. He ‘was, perhaps, the youngest captain in the re- cent competition drills in Kansas City. Capt. Domer is a young man of fine presence, popu- Jar and highly esteemed among the officers of the District National Guard. Corporal Charl . Sessford, who won the medal in the individual competition, was born im this city and has lived here all through his twenty-one years of existence. He is a strongiy built and sol- dierly gentleman, ver much of a favorite wit! his comrades and by no 4 Means unpopular with the soldier-loving sex. He was educated in the public schools and com- menced his more serious career in the business office of Tux Evexixa corr L SESSFORD. Stax. For two years he was employed as a clerk at station C, branch post office: then he studied pension claims with Mosher Bros. and now ig employed in the title insurance business, He was a member of the National Rifles Cadets and was one of the five organizers of the Fen- eibles, ‘THE CONTESTS.

Of ali the things the Fencibles have to be thankful for they are most thankful to be home again. but next to that they are grateful to Capt. Ford of the Chicago Zouaves and his command. The Chicagoans did everything in their power to make things pleasant for the Washingtonians, : > f It is not improbable that the Fencibles will go to Atlanta in October. There will be a big driil there at that time and Capt. Domer has already been invited to take a team thither, —_——___— WILL SULLIVAN BOX. A Special Meeting of the Columbia Club to Decide the Questio: There will be a meeting of the Columbia Athletic Club this evening at 8 o’clock in the gymnasium to consider the question of the proposed sparring exhibition by Sullivan and Lannon next week. The action of the board of governors in arranging for the exhibition stirred up considerable opposition among the club members and this method of a special meeting to obtain the desire of the club was determined upon. Many of the mem- bers are indignant at the opposition to the board of governors and claim that they will be supported by a handsome majority of lovers of athletics and skillful boxing. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, who is recognized as one of the leading lovers of athletic sports, is op- posed to the ‘proposed exhibition, and gives is reasons in a letter to a friend, in which he “I most sincerely hope that the club will take the action contemplated with respect 8a} not to Mr. Sullivan, It seems to me that it will work real and permanent injury to the club, and therefore to the canse of amateur athletics to do #0, Noman can be more thoroughly convinced than Iam of the immense benefit conferred | not only upon individuals but upon our whole people by the cultivation of manly sports. I believe that as a nation we owe a very great deal to the taste for healthy athletic amuse- ments, which has borne such good fruit during the past few years. But if we allow our athletic clubs to be perverted from their proper purposes it seems to me that we entirely destroy their usefuiness. We age healthy sports and tastes aniong the people | at large. We have to fight against the preju- dices of some very good citizens anyhow, and we immeasurably sirenghten this prejudice, and, indeed, to a large extent justify its ex- istence, when we give the weight of our en- couragement and assistance to those who in the name of sport do all they can to render manly exercise and rivalry bratal and degrad- ing. The most dangerous foe of the amateur | athletic is the professional whose illegal or semi-illegal practices tend to throw the whole | practice of athletics into disrepute. A CONDEMNED MURDERER’S COAT A Man Charged With Stealing it Sent to Jail for Sixty Days. A handsome black coat and yest belonging to Witham Douglass Cross, the wife murderer under sentence of death, was used in evidence in the Police Court today. William Turner, | brother-in-law of the condemned man, was charged with having stolen them, The clothes were taken from his mother’s house, where | Cross lived before he killed his wife, ‘The prisoner's mother was the only witness against him, andit was stated that he had threatened to “fix” her. What did you mean by saying you intended to ‘fix’ your mother?” inquired the judge. “Ididn’t make auy such threat,” was his reply. ‘I said I would see that Wm. Douglass Cross does not hang by the neck. I know some- thing about the case and am going to tell it.” “If you know anything,” said the court, “it is your duty to tell it,” But you had better never raise your finger to your mother while I am holding court.” A sentence of sixty davs was imposed. Gisele rani NEXT TO A TENNIS COURT. Two Racquet Wielders Charged With | Disturbing the Peace of a Family. Two young men, Harry Seaton and Georg Mitchell, were in the Police Court this morn- ing, charged with disturbing the peace and quiet of the Beller family, who reside at No. 235 Ist street northeast. members of a tennis club and their court ad- joins Mr. Beller’s property. To prevent the tennis balls from going into Mr. Beller's yarda large wire sereen has been put up, but ocea- sionally one of the balls goes over the fence. This seems to annoy the members of the Beller family, while the tennis players claim that water from the Beller property anuoys | them. Recently some of the players discussed the existing troubles. and, it is alleged, that some one spoke harslily of Mr. Beller because he would not throw one of the balls back over the feuce, Mr, Beller, however, did not hear what was said because of deafuess., Judge Miller discussed the rights of both! parties and dismissed the cai —— Hav'x’r You Hap Tre to write a se of paragraphs in i for Tue Srar’s prizes of £100, The Columbia Cycle Club, Ata recent meeting of the Columbia Cycle Club the following oilicers were chosen for the ensuing year: President.

Young Lady Students of Columbian University Entertain Their Friends. Of the students at Columbian University dur- ing the college year just closing thirteen were young women, and being so few among so many they naturally were held together by the closest ties of friendship and fellow feeling. As a result of this they banded themselves into the “Original Thirteen,” a literary aud social organization that has been the source of an immense deal of pleasure to them all. Last night they gave a literary entertainment in the college chapel before a large audience of their friends and fellow students, The Young women ali saton the platform clad in white, in Grecian style, with the draperies hanging in graceful fold.

Saylor, a middleaged man, was brought here ‘ast night from Baltimore by the sheriff and lodge‘ in jail, charged with having forged the name of Frank Margerum, living near Bustonsville, this county, to a note for #90. This mormng he had a preliminary hear- ing before Justice Morgan, and in default of $800 bail was recommitted for the action of the grand jury. It appeared from the evidence that in 1888 Saylor called at the farm of Marge- ram and left a patent bay fork and carrier and afterward induced the latter to take the agency for the same, An agreement was drawn up and signed by Margerum and Saylor, but the former denies having signed any note. The note was sold to Mr. Arthur Williams, who in- stituted suit for its payment, which was re- sisted by Margerum on the ground that the signature was forged, Saylor is pretty well known in this county, where for several months he was engaged in selling ““hulless oats.” clover seed. &c., and notes for these articles were se- cured from a large number of farmers.

The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, made from the most wholesome materials, and produces finer flavored, sweeter, lighter, more palatable, wholesome and delicious bread, biscuit, cake, pastry, etc., than any other. baking powder or leavening agent. oe Being of greater strength than any other baking powder, it is also the most economical in use. - ‘These great qualities warrant you, if you are not using the Royal Baking Powder, in making a trial of it. ‘ a5. 8 SWIFT'S SPECIFIC is nearer infallible than any medicine made—yet it contains no mercury, no potash nor poison or mineral of any sort It cures by elimi- nating the poison from the blood.
