Two Firemen Injured by a Fall From| Architect Windrim’s Son Weds the| The Conferees Agree on a Measure Pro- the Balcony of a Burning House. The stable in the rear of Dr. John R. Fran- cis’ residence, No. 2112 Pennsylvania avenue, was discovered to be on fire about 9 o'clock last night. Inashort time the rear of the house took fire, but through the efforts of the fire- men the flames were extinguished. Dr. Francis and his family were absent in the country and it is supposed that the origin of the fire was incendiarism. During the fire Charles Harper and Wm. Mahoney of No. 5 Engine Company were lightening the hose on balcony, over two stories from the ground, when the partially burned railing gave way and both fell to the ground. They were sent to Providence Hospi- tal, where Mr. Harper was found to be badly bruised and to have some indications of inter- nal injury, and Mahoney to be badly bruised about the chest. ¥ rday afternoon a fire took place at 1210 Pennsylvania avenue, occupied by Salvator Zarelli and owned by W. P. Young, caused by a heated stovepipe setting fire to a partition. ‘The damage was about $50.

To the Faitor of Tar Evexine Stan: A writer under the head of ‘Real Estate Gos- sip.” in your issue of July 5, makes the state- ment that Washington brick wiil not absorb any moisture, but that stone will. He, how- ever, admits the fact that bricks are not used for foundations in any other large city. Al! the crushed stone used on the streets of Wash- ington, and muci: of the stone use for founda- tions, superstructures and such buildings as the Georgetown University, &c., is quarried at the blue-stone quarries on the Potomac river and floated down to the water front of the city. It is blue gneiss of very superior quality, re- markably firm, and it 1s not possible for the least moisture to penetrate it. It is a well- known fact that a building brick that will not absorb moisture has never been made, at least in this country, and it 1s extremely doubtful that it ever can be made. There are a great many damp ments in Washington, owing to the use of brick for foundations, Washing- ton has an inexhaustible supply of the very best quality of stone at a low price. In thisre- Spect it has a decided advantage over most of our large cities. This stone is used to build our streets, one of the most attractive features of the city. and it is surprising that this beau- tiful stone is not use more for foundations and superstructures. 8 a Serious Runaway Accident. About § o'clock last evening a carriage con- taining Hon. A. Leo Knott, his wife, Miss Ker- nan, his sister-in-law, and Rev. Father Clarke of St. Aloysius Church upset on 7th street be- tween Nand O streets northwest, and the party (with the driver, Archie MeDonald,) were all thrown out. Drs. Park Young and Rozier were near at handand attended to their injuries. Father Clarke was hurt about the hip; Mrs. Knott was scratched and bruised, and Miss Kernan was cut over the eye. They had been ariving to the Catholic University and were re- turning through the Soldiers’ Home grounds and at 7th street and Florida avenue the horses took fright at a cavle car and dashed down 7th street. when Mr. Knott in assisting the driver turned the horses aud the upset took place Bear the curb stone. Contest for Custody of a Child. The case of the six-year-old son of Chas. R. Polkinhorn and Fannie V. Polkinhorn, for whose production the father obtained a writ of babeas corpus last week, was called by Judge Hagner yesterday afternoon. Judge Weed ap- peared for the father and Mr. Vale for the re- spondent. ‘The father set forth the divorce proceedings, which had been dismissed by the wife, and stated that they were living apart and asked an order giving him the custody of their child. The wife's answer admitted the divorce | aes and stated that, learning that the usband had reformed, and not wishing to Stand im the way of his reformation, she dis- missed the suit. She further charged that the father wasnot a fit person to have charge of the child. Judge Weed asked that the case go over till Wednesday, and after some discussion the hearing was continued. ———— Tennis Tournament at Woodley.

That, how- ever, did not interfere with the action of the play nor the enjoyment of those in attendance. the comedy portions of the libretto had been ite thoroughly Americanized and both in thought and expression the traditional Gil- bertian wit was hardly recognized. It was funny, however. A new singer was Mr. Ross David, who as Ralph Rackstraw, did most ac- ceptably, though just a little uncertain of him- self at times. All the others were of course interesting as usual, good as usual, and Mr. John de Coonlets Yom Tucker was immense. “Vinafore” will run all the week. —_—_s___ SAYS HE IS NUT INSANE. An Alleged Escaped Lunatic Captured in This City. Yesterday morning a man registered at the Hotel Belvedere the name of Frederick G. Rust of Philadelphia, ‘The clerk, having read the account in a morning paper of the escape of a lunatic of that name from the Philad«-phia home for the incurable insane. became suspi- cious that the guest was the same person. When in the afternoon Rust started to leave and asked that his name be erased the clerk informed Officer Jamison of his suspicions and they started out to find the man. He was found at the Baltimore and Potomac depot in- quiring as to the trains for Staunton, Va., of which place he was formerly a resident. He was taken in custody and conveyed to the sixth precinct station, where he was locked up. He acknowledged that he had been locked up at Kirkbride (the Philadelphia home) for nearly twenty years, but claiming that he is perfectly sane and that his incarceration was Ly his family, that they might enjoy his property. The authorities of Philadelphia were notified aud will send for him. penal nae TWO NAUGHTY BOYS. The Judge Declined to Send One to the Reform School. There weretwo small boys in the Police Court this morning, charged with incorrigi- bilty. One was Joseph Burns, a white boy, and the other was David Mason, colored. The former did not want to go the Reform School, but the latter was willing and anxious to spend a few years in that institution. Joe Burns was complained against by his parents as a bad boy, who would not go to school or do anything else but hang about freight cars in South Washington and gave his parents trouble. He was sentenced to the Reform School, ‘The little colored —— he bad no home, that his parents were dead and he wanted to go tothe Reform School. When questioned hy the court he said be too young to work, - he would work a little if he could get it to 0. “Do you want to go to work?” the judge asked him. “No, sir, " was his reply, “I want to go to the Reform School.” The judge declined to send him ‘to the Re- form School, but turned him over to Agent Sweeney of the Children’s Aid Society. asm CATTLE IN THE STREETS. A Drover Fined for Driving a Herd Through the City. “No person shall drive cattle in a loose herd through any improved street, as hereinafter designated, nor shall any such driving be done except between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.,” reads a section of the police regulations that has been referred toa number of times recently. The reason for it was the large number of com- plaints made against such driving on the streets, The filth and flies, it is claimed, is detrimental to the health of the city, as well as dangerous to pedestrians when the cattle are driven in the day time. George W. Hawkins, a colored cattle driver, was arrested yesterday on Florida avenue neur 12th street for violating the section quoted, and the case was heard in the Police Court this morning, Mr. Campbell Carrington appeared for the defendant in the interest of a number of butch- ers. He claimed that the law was unconstitu- tional. He doubted the right of the Commis- sioners to so limit a man’s business, They might as well say that Mr. Dumont, the prose- cuting attorney, should not work but one hour a day, “but I guess he would be satisfied this oo Mr. ‘arrington said that there was such a competition in the beef trade now that butch- ers killing beef here could hardly make a liv- ing, and they certainly could not if the law was to be oppressive and they were not given enough time to conduct their business. ‘The court decided against the defendant and imposed a fine of #5, ir. Carrington noted an appeal for the pur- Pose of testing the law. ss The Case of “Happy Jack.” In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing- ham, this morning Jack Laughton, known as “Happy Jack,” who was tried a few weeks ago for larceny from the person, the jury failing to agree, was present. Mr. T. C. Taylor, his coun- sel, called attention to the case and asked that he be released on his personal‘bonds, He had had a trial. the jury failed to agree, one, the son of a colored man who lived near where the defendant's regiment was encamped duriny the war, and four good Presbyterians, who did not believe in circus shows and clowns, standing out for a verdict of guilty. He was ready and anx- ious for a trial, and it was not his fault that he was not tried. He submitted that under the circumstances he should be released on bonds, calling attention to the fact that he was a good soldier during the war. Mr. Lipscomb said that he was tired of the soldier business; that had some recollec- tions of his roosts being robbed on the other side, and perhaps the defendant's regiment was encamped near him. He submitted that it was no fault of his office that he had not had a second trial. Mr. Taylor remarked that a witness expressed the hope on the stand that the defendant would not be convicted, and had since expressed the same wish, The court reserved decision on the question. From Jail to the Insane Asylum. In the case of Harry J. Frankland, tried June 27 on the charge of assault with intent to kill Miss Lillian Moore, Chief Justice Bingham or- dered a juror to be withdrawn and the cause continued, and certified'his finding that the defendant was insane and indigent to the Sec- retary of the Interior. The latter has issued the necessary permit and this morning the chief justice made an order directing the mar- shat to cause Frankland’s reiease from jail and removal to the insane asy]t jum, IrSerms to be the ral im; in Washington that the Stietf pianos of Baltimore, Md., take the lead, » ite a number being sold here.—Adet, bone bo Tomorrow Eveyrxa, 1890, the Clerks’ Relief of empioyes of Lansbur; excursion to Marshall per mer Mac- — This is the seventh annual ae of this association, as usual, will be one the most enjo: ‘faire of the season. in the hands Wednesday, July Association. com & Bro,, will give an steal Prettiest of All Chorus Girls. There was a wedding on the fiy in Jersey City Friday. Architect Windrim’s big son John took pretty Eva Evans of “The Sea King” over from New York and they were made one by 4 minister, who was a friend of the groom, and the two went directly to Philadelphia, where the groom has friends whe are in politics. The record of the marriage makes the groom's name Windhom, and he represented himself to be a Philadelphia architect. Supervising Architect Windrim is a Philadelphian. The groom had known Miss Evans, who iv a niece of Comedian Evans, just five weeks, having met her for the first time at the production of the opera in the Quaker city. Miss Evans was the prettiest of all the shapely chorus girls in “The Sea King.” She came from Rochester, N.Y., gi her age as eighteen and doesn’t look older. even if she was a chorus girl. She joined the Gilmore Opera Mee ay Ay the opening of the season. hen “The Sea King” opened in Philadel- phia Architect Windrim, a id bachelor, a “first nighter” and a good busincss man with a big bank account, saw Miss Evans and straight- way fell in love. Many dainty notes sent to Miss Evans were returned unopened, but event- ually the architect secured an introduction through a mutual friend. The star didn't get as many flowers after that as the shapely blonde chorus girl with the classical face. Mr. Windrim took her driving, he introduced her to his friends and then he asked her to be his wife. Maiden like she put him off, and meantime ‘The Sen King” Company came to New York. Persistency is one of Mr. Windrim’s virtues, and he reached the city soon after the opera company. He continued his attentions, and when the time came for Miss Evans to go on in the chorus on last Friday night it was found that she was mysteriously missing. Nothing was positively known as to what had caused Miss Evans’ sudden departure until yesterday when a letter came from her to Manager Gale saying she had been married to Mr. Windrim in Philadelphia on July 4. Miss Evans added that she had abandoned the stage forever and requested that the money due her be given to some worthy charity. Letters were received in New York by inti- mate friends of the actress containing informa- tiou that the name under which the groom was married was not his real name, and that he purposely gave a wrong name for fear that nis father would be angry if he learned of the marriage. It is believed at Palmer’s Theater that the young man has abundant means and that he hae declared that the actress must re- tire from the stage. This was not part of her rogram when she went off to get married on independence Day. She told her friends at the boarding house, 256 West 45th street, that she was going to return to town today and re- sume her role in ‘The Sea King” and after that play an engagement with Francis Wilson’s company, —_>+——_ Prisoners Off for Albany.

Exciting Experience of a Fisherman at Brigantine Beach. ‘There was a very exciting fight with a ceta- ceari monster over at Brigantine, near Atlantic City, yesterday afternoon right in the famous siough where Senator Quay has caught many a big drumfish. It was discovered snorting around in the shallow water by a son of Charles smith, proprietor of the hotel, and he at once notified a party of fishermen who were near by. ‘They were Frank Ellis of Washington, James Palmer of New York, B. F. Milligan of Philadelphia and Ned Thomas, the -vell-known burnt cork artist. They rowed out to the restless monster, but the moment their frail boat came within reach it shot out its tale with such force as to upset the boat and throw the occupants right and left, two of ,them being pitched fully fifteen feet, All scrambled safely to the shore, howe ever, and held a consultation, which resulted in their opening fire on the invader of Quay's fishing premises, Pistols and rifles were freely used, but had little effect. Then a couple of small anchors were thrown over the whale, for such it proved to be, and to,the lines a two-horse team was attached. It took a long and steady pull to bring the big mammal up to the beach, but it was finally secured and promptly dispatched. It is tully fifteen feet long, has a mouth like a cavern and is altogether the strangest looking monster ever seen by anybody in that vicinity, It will be towed over to Atlantic City tomor- row and placed on free exhibition, pataentente tineee Proving Chalkley Leconey’s Innocence, A special from Columbus, Ohio, says: A gen- tleman living at Waverly, Ohio, the home of Miss Leconey who was murdered at the house of her uncle in New Jersey about a year ago, says that since Chalkley Leconey’s acquittal important evidence has been discovered tend- ing not only to establish his innocence but ting strongly in the direction of another.

At 11 o'clock the mob still xept up the rioting and pelted their ursuers with stones, bottles and bags of flour, issing and hooting the superior police officers. No men had as yet gone out, but it wes not long after 11 o'clock before the initiative was taken and the great strike inaugurated. The force of E division went into the station at the usual time, but refused to parade for duty. Assistant Commissioner Howard and Col. Moused were in charge and vainly tried to in- duce the men to alter their determination, which they absolutely refused to do. The superior officers then tried to exert their au- thority, but without avail anda disturbance ensued. Meanwhile the reserves were being quietly sent out of the station in squads of five orsix, They took their places at different points in the street. Men were drafted from other stations fora similar purpose. While the mob was waiting for the reserves to march | out the streets were quietly officered. The disorder, however, increased instead of | diminished. A bag of flour and dried fruit were hurled at the police on duty. Commis- sioner Howard was mobbed near the station, the policemen assisting in the outrage, and it was with great difficulty that be forced his way In the wild disorder outside men were trampled upon in large numbers, Every moment the crowd grew larger, more dense and more turbulent. Cheers were mingled with hisses. Some jeered the police and others hissed the officials of the home sec- retary. The mob sang the ‘Marseillaise,” “Rule Brittannia” and other popular songs, ROYALTY IN THE MOB. Opposite the Bow street station is the Co- vent Garden Theater, where the performance of an opera was spoiled by the hubbub in the street. The audience withdrew and viewed the rioters from the balcony. When the mounted police arrived the good humor of the crowd quickly turned to bitter opposition, The re- sult was soon apparent, The mounted men formed at the top of the street and charged the mob, A desperate struggle followed; men attempted to drag officers from their horses, The policemen struck their assailants with their fists and sticks, The crowd was broken by the repeated charges, but reformed as soon as the mounted officers passed. This was re- eated for two hours, Finaily the squadron of Life Guards arrived. Immediately « rumor spread that the Princess of Wales was in the theater and had asked fora cavalry escort. The people cheered. Then upon hearing a report that the equad was brought to clear the streets the mob yelled, hooted, hissed and cursed. CITY ITEMS.
