To the Editor of THe Lvextxo STAR The train that left Atlantic City at 4 p.m. last Sunday by the Reading route, which con- nects with the Baltimore and Ohio, had on board i25 passengers for Baltimore and Wash- ington. On their arrival in Philadelphia it was learned that they were too late to connect with the 5:55 train. At 7:20 all excursionists were loaded into carson a side grack, where they remained for one hour and fifWeu minates after the regular train had arrived and de- parted with the passengers that held regular tickets. The train was finaliy got under way eud arrived in Baltimore about midnight, when the Washington passengers were told to change cars. After walking nearly a square up the long platform with their luggage, more ucarly asleep than awake, the official at the gate in- formed them that the cars they bad just left Were the sshington train, and that they ald make haste to return if they did not ish to remain in Baltim f the night.

Final arguments were made in the Chesa- peake and Ohio canal cases before Judge Al- vey at Hagerstown, Md., yesterday, as stated in Tue Stax. The decision of the court will be announced hereafter. In ‘the hearing yester- day the state was represented by Attorney Gen- eral Whyte. Bernard Carter represented the minority bondholders, John P. Poe and T. M. Lanahau the canal company, 8, T. Wallis, John K. Cowen and H. L. Bond the bondholders of 1878 and Gen. B. T. Johnson and H. H. Keedy the bondholders of 1844, Gen. B. T. Jobnson filed a petition alluding tothe death of George S. Brown, one of the trustees of the bondholders of 1844, and re- questing that the case be delayed until Gen. Lrown’s successor be chosen and brought into court. ‘he petition also asked that the bond- holders of 1844 be allowed to take charge of the | canal and repair and run it, stating that a suf- ficient amount of money could be raised for the purpose. It also recited that asale now would be equivalent to turning the canal over to the Cumberland and Washington railroad. A DECREE FOR SALE OF THE CANAL. Attorney General Whyte submitted a copy of a decree for sale such as he thought onght to be passed. Mr. Cowen filed copies of the District of Co- lumbia receivers’ report, and thought the proper way to proceed in the case was to have the auditor of the court or the receivers re- port the indebtedness and liens on the canal and all the encumbered property in the Dis- trict of Columbia. The persons holding leases on the property and the water rights of the canal, he added, should be made partics to the suit. so that their titles to the property could be disposed of in the decree for a sale and the canal sold in its entirety. NO JURISDICTION IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. Judge Alvey stated that he had no jurisdic- tion over the corpus of the canal in the Dis- trict of Columbia, and if a decree were passed he could only order a sale of the franchise of the canal in the District, Gen, Jobnson and Mr. Poe argued in favor of ascertaining the property of the canal, and then, they said, decrees of sale could be made in the Maryland court and im the court of the District and the proceeds of such sale distributed ac- cording to priority of licns.

The Story of Washington Grove—The Camp to Open This Evening. Correspondence of Tus EvENINe STAR Wasmrxotox Grove, August 18, 1890, About seventeen years ago this lovely grove, then a waste of forest trees, bramble and wild ‘wood, was bought by a delegation of Methodist brethren representing the several churches of the District of Columbia. The tract of 260 acres was bought for $5,000, a railroad station established, and in this delightful vale, “far from the madding crowd,” the brethren pitched their tents. In 1873 the Washington Grove Camp Meeting Association was legally incorpo- rated, with 1,700 shares of stock at #20 each, 443 of which shares are yet unsold. The prop- erty is pow worth $50,000 or more. The origi- | nal board of officers consisted of twelve trus- tees and an executive committee of thirteen members. Dr. F. Howard of Washington, now deceased, was the first president, and served four consecutive terms. Major Thomas Morgan suc- ceeded him,and after along and popular service was succceded by T. T. Woodward, who was oa until the spring of 1889, when H. B. Moulton of the Washington bar was elected. At the May election T. T. Woodward was unanimously recalled to the head of affairs, Br, Woodward is the “‘pioneer” of the associa- tion, the sole surviving member of the original board who has served the association eighteen consecutive years. Never has the grove looked purer and sweeter than it does this evening, with its cleanly swept avenues and flower-embowerod cottages hid away under forest shades, and the glow of an amber sunset over ail. A scarcity of the pic- turesque canvas tents, the glowing camp fires, midnight revivals and day-dawn prayer meet- ings of the good old days is, however. noted with regret. Mrs. George Hill of Georgetown and Mr. James Owens occupy the only tents within the grove. The committee have wisely expended $100 in replacing aud repairing the pumps and now a full supply of water can be had on all sides, The opening sermon of the camp meeting will be preached at 8 o'clock this evening by Rev. Joci Brown of Union Chapel. Prof, Henry Wilson, another pioneer, who has gcown. gray in the service (of song), will conduct the music. The young peopl mecting at their new quarters on Grove avenue held an interesting service last evening. condacted by Mr. Key of the ¥. M. C. A.

Ohio, young men—W. P.

Green is cashier and James receiving clerk in the Ohio Southern freight office. A little after midnight they fin- ished their debauch at the Pony House. They engaged in a row at once with the bar keeper, and James, picking up a pretzel, threw it with all his might at the bar tender. ' It just missed the man’s head and struck a mirror costing $1,200, smashing it to fragments. The reckless ‘ouths were arrested and placed in the station Louse. ‘They appeared before Mayor Wardand their trial was set for Thursday afternoon, The arrests have caused great excitement. ses An Alleged Swindler and Forger. Alfred J. Carter, a young man belonging to a respectable family, was held for trial yester- day in Baltimore on seven charges of obtain- ing money under false pretenses. He had been representing himself as the son of C. Morton Stewart, a prominent coffee merchant, Anfong the firms he swindled are Ochm & Co., George 8. Clogg, K. Q. Taylor, Hamiltog, Easter & Co., Joel Guiman & Co., 'T. J. Irving & Co. and Welsh Brothers, They are dry goods mer- chants, furnishing store merchants and jew- elers. Young Carter would buy goods and tell the clerks to send the bills to Mr. Stewart, his father. He would order part of the goods to be seut to Mr. Stewart's house and the rest he would take with him. The charge of forgery was also made against the young man, several merchants offering in evidence bogus checks which he had passed upon th 0 Halifax to be Attacked. A review on an immense scale will take place in Halifax before the British fleet leaves for Quebec. The war ships will take an active part. It is understood that the ficet will at- tack the city. The military are making exten- sive preparations to repel the attack. Prince George will have charge of two ships. Ali the forte from the mouth of the hurbor will be tested to the fullest capacity, The citadel fort will also take part. The plans of attack are now en | perfected by Admiral White. The forces will be located at various points. It is said that there may also be s big military and naval demonstration on the common. The demonstration is likely to take place the latter part of this week or the first of next. ———-o2- It is proposed to make the gravity road in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, free to the public.

Hostiities Between Guatemala and Salvador Suspended. The New York Herald this morning publishes & special cable from San Salvador via La Liber- tad, which states that war with Honduras now appears to be inevitable. The actions of Pres- ident Bogran of that country have not been tisfactory to Provisional President Ezota of Salvador and he is irritated beyond measure. Ezeta is watching the situation closely and may take summary action at any time. In the meantime Bogran is kept busy watching af- fairs in his own territory. Several revolutions are said to be in progress in Honduras, although Bogran claims that he has routed ail malcontents and that his country is at Active hostilities between Guatemala and Si Salvador have now been suspended for nearly three weeks. But the armies of the two countries are camped within sight of each other, ready to anticipate any movement look- ing to a renewal of the warfare. In the mean- time the ministers of Costa Rica and Nicaragua have not ceased their efforts in behalf of peace. They have been hard at work and have had the active co-operation of the entire diplomatic corps. inister Mizner, United States minister res- ident at Guatemala, came ashore at La Liber- tad Saturday and on Sunday arrived at San Salvador. “Provisional President Ezcta cnter- tained Minister Mizner at a banquet yesterday, and the best of feeling prevailed. Minister Mizner appeared disposed to act in the in- terest of a settlement of the difficulties be- tween Guatemala and Salvador. When he ar- rived he brought a copy of President Bar- villas’ formal declaration of war against Sal- vador, This was the first information on the matter received at the capital of Salvador, and the first official information that the govorn- ment had on the subject. As Guatemala first invaded Salvador without any formal declar: tion of her intention the attitude of Barrill ofter his forces were whipped in issuing his decree is considered ridiculous, The interior of Salvador is quiet and there are no indica- tions of any more outbreaks against Ezeta, Dr. Alberto Mena has been appointed minister of public instruction. THE DEVIL’S TOWER, Wyoming People Object to a Woman’s Pre-empting Their Great Curiosity. A Deadwood, 8.D., correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Deniocrat says: The Devil's Tower is 100 miles northwest from Mount Harney and 50 miles west of the Dakota line. It isin Crook county, Wyo., 20 miles wost of Sundance and about half a mile trom the Belle Fourche. Except the remarkable phenomena found in the Yellowstone Park in northwestern Wyom- ing, there are none that will compare for grandeur with this awe-inspiring monument of nature’s handiwork in eastern Wyoming. The evil’s Tower, or “Bear Lodge,” is said by geologists to be without a precedent in basaltic crystalization, It is # natural obelisk rising Sheer 1,200 feet above the banks of the Belle Fourche. It is 800 feet in diameter at the base, tapering in a graceful convex to a di- ameter of 375 feet at the top. It is com- josed of thousands of prisms that extend un- roken from base to summit. ‘I'his continuity of the crystals is the remarkable feature of the mass, the tendency of the trappe rock being to fracture transversely in crystallization and weather away to the appearance of stairs, as in the Giant's Causeway, Ireland. Prot. Newton ‘Bear Lodge, or Devil's Tower, in its shape und structure appears not to have been repeated elsewhere by nature, but stands alone, unique and mysterious. It occupies the place of « chimney to some subterranean turnace which overflowed with molten rock and, cool- ing, crystallized downward. The surrounding walls of the chimney eroded and left this mighty monument to the work of crystalliza- tion—that power scarcely less mysterious than the force of life itself.” The land in the vicinity of Devil’s Tower is arid and fit only for grazing. Some wheat is grown in the neighborhood, oats and timothy and other small grain, but crops are uncertain and rarely ever amount to more than half a crop. In view of this fact the people of Crook county wero surprised by the announcement a few days ago that an English lady, one Miss Carlisle Kent, had filed a pre-emption on the 160 acres on which Devil’s ‘Tower stands in the land office at Douglas, Wyo. By tacit consent of the community it was intended that this land should remain public property. The filing was kept «profound secret for some time, the citizens having no intimation that an attempt was being made to monopolize their grand old tower, the pride of eastern Wyoming, and hence, the fact has become generally known, an indignant protest bas gone up from every part of the community at the audacity of this English woman. The citizens are determined that this tower shall become the private property of no one, much Jess of a foreigner, for it is alleged that Miss Kent took out her naturalization papers only a short time ago for the express purpose of tiling on this land. Letters have been written to the land department at Washington on the subject, and resolutions and letters were today addressed to Senator Moody of South Dakota asking him to use his influence to defeat Miss Kent's apyli- cation and to have Devil's Tower set apart asa national park. Miss Kent's idea, it is alleged, was to secure this ground and convert it into a magnificent private park, rivaling the Yellowstone, and charge visitors an admittance tee, Now that this matter is before the public it is probable that a strong effort will be made to have Congress set apart a tract of land, includ- ing that on which Devil’s Tower stands, as a national park, similar to that on the Yellow- stone, —————+or—___.

Jews throughout Russia and including Russian Poland must henceforth reside in towns only and not in the country. No Jew will any longer be permitted to own land or even to farm land. All Jewish land owners, farmers and agricultural laborers will thus be expelled from their village homes, and unless they have saved the means of subsistence will be reduced to beggary. To intensify the se- verity of this edict and widen its soope the government officials have included many hun- dreds of small towns in the category of country villages and expelled the Jews from those towns. In this manner the number of sufferers from the edict is greatly angmented. Tens of thousands of souls will be thus rendered home- less. These laws, known as the “May laws,” were promulgated in 1882, but were never put into force until the present year. 2. Jews have hitherto been allowed by law to reside in only sixteen of the counties (gubernia’ of Russia. But the law has not been enfore against Jewish merchants in many important commercial centers outside tnose provinces, such as Riga, Libau, Rostoff, &c., for, by a ministerial circular of 1880, Jews long estab- lished in such towns were permitted to remain there unmolested. The law is now to be strictly enforced, and by a recent ministerial order all Jews, numbering many thousands of families, settled outside the sixteen counties are to be expelled. 8. Jewish artisans who in like manner had, under the law of 1865, been permitted to settle temporarily in places outside of the sixteen counties are now to be expelled from those places. Tens of thousands of artisans with their families will, it is said, be affected by this edict and rendered homeless, 4. Jews are no longer to be allowed to be in any way connected with mines or mining in- dustry, nor even to hold shares in any mine. 5. The Jews will henceforth be practically debarred from partaking of any educational advantages, whether in school, gymnuasia or universities, Hitherto they have been allowed admission subject to the limitation that their number should not exceed 5 per cent of the total number of students. Secret instructions have already been sent requiring the reduction of this small percentage to still iower limits, and from many of the higher educational in- stitutions all Jewish students have been ex- pelled. 6. The legal profession, in which heretofore a large number of Jews in Russia have achieved great success, will in future be closed to Jewish students, A law has already been put in force requiring the special sanction of the minister of the interior before a Jew, qualified by ex- amination, may practice. Since the promulga~ tion of the law not a gle sanction has been given and it is understood none willbe given. 7. Jews are henceforth prohibited from fol- lowing the professions of engineer or army doctor or from filling any government post, however subordinate. In the days of the Emperor Nicholas it was a subject of reproach to the Russian Jews that they were all traders and not producers, That reproach has since been wiped away, and now an enormous proportion have become skilled artisans, agricultnrists. and professional men, all adding largely to the wealth of the empire. But under the new repressive laws all this com- munal progress is to be reversed—the artisan, the farmer and the professional man are all to be ruined, and those who survive the persecu- ben must become traders in the overcrowded wn It is estimated that the total number of per- sons who will be expelled from their homes under the new law will not be far from _1,000,- 000. The consequent migration and the con- gestion of the starving fugitives in those cities where Jows will still be allowed to dwell will be so dangerous, and possibly so pestilential in its results, that only one object can be con- templated by the instigators of these persecu- tions, namely, the total extermination of the 4,000,000 Jews of Russia, = toe Fatal Row About a Woman. Dr. O. Sawyer was shot and probably fatally injured yesterday in Chicago by J. Barton Sancher, who claims to be a correspondent of the Chicago Horseman, The shooting was brought about by the alleged intimacy between the doctor and Sancher’s wife. Sancher, who is locked up, claims to have secured confessions of the intimacy from both his wife and the doctor. ‘The shooting was done in a fight growing out of the doctor's refusal to put his confession in writing.

Dazaprvz P, SORIASIS, COVEKING ENTIRE BODY WITH WHITE SCALES. BUFFERING FEARFUL. CURED BY CUTICURA. ‘My disease (psorsiasis) first broke out on my left check, spreading across my nose, and almost covering my fsoe. Itran into my eyes, and the physician was Sfraid I would lose my eyesight altogether. It spread all over my head, and iy hair all fell out, until I was entirely bald headed; it then broke out on my arms and shoulders, until my arms were just one sore. It covered my entire body, my face, head snd shoulders being the worst. The whits scabs fell constantly from my head, shoulders and arms; the skin would thicken and be red and very itchy, and would crack and bleed if scratched. After spending many hun- reds of dollars, I was pronounced incurable, I heard of the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and after using two bottles CUTICURA RESOLVENT I could see a change, and after I had taken four bottles I was almost cured, and when I had used six bottles of CUTICURA RESOLVENT, one box of CUTICURA and one cake of CUTICURA SOAP, I was cured of the dreadful disease from which I had suffered for five years. I cannot ex- presswith pen what I suffered before using the REMEDIES.
