SUNDAY AT THE CAMP. & Large Attendance and Interesting Services at Washington Grove. Correspondence of Tir EVENING Star. Wasuixotox Grove. August 17. A very impressive sermon was delivered last evening by Dr. Scott Herschey, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, D. C. The promise to the penitent: “Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise,” was the text from which the eloquent preacher discoursed. There were about 6,000 people here today, half of whom came from Washington and inter- mediate stations by train. There were at least 500 vehicles on the ground, averaging four Persons to each team. By 8 o'viock am. the people began to arrive from the neighboring districts, and until afternoon the crowd was bourly augmentod. At 11 o'clock Dr. Grey, president of Dickin- son Seminary, Williamsport, preached to a congregation that overrun the tabernacle. At 2p.m. the ehildren, especially the little visit- ors, enjoyed a nice little Bible talk by Father Laney. At the same hour Mra. Dr. Riley con- ducted n large and very interesting praise serv- ice at the gospel pavilion. Awhile before the ringing of the afternoon service bell eager steps wore taking many to the sanctuary to be sure of # place where they might hear the sermon promised by the ever- welcome Dr. H. B. Naylor of Hamline Church, Washington. Not only the platform and au- dieuce room, but the spaces outlying 28 well were filled with a compact congregation who heard at ennobling guspel m-asage trom this eloquent ambassador of Christ, based upon this assuring text, “For wearo also His off- spring.” The fine music by the Grove choir is a drawing feature at the tabernacle servicca. This gitted gre My, with gospel songs. It is com of Prof. Henry Wilson, chorister; Miss ie Jackson, re- lieved by Mrs. G. W. Offutt and Mra. J. Mickle, organists; Glen L.

Braddock and Dr. Peck. The evening service at 8 o'clock. though not so largely attended, was of remarkable inter- st, and the sermon, ‘full of earnest entreaty, was based upon ist Joho, 5th chap., verse 4; this is the victory that overcomoth the world, even our faith.” ‘The bearer of this gospel mes- sage was Kev. Richard Norris of Cumberland, Md. In resvonse to the forceful exhortation. two enitents sought Christ at the altar of prayer. uring this service a gentle shower fell on the encampment, washing away the film of dust that the travel of tne day had left.

The Dockmen Celebrate Their Victory in the Strike of a Year Ago. Yesterday the London dockmen celebrated their first anniversary of the great triumph of ‘unorganized labor over organized and strongly intwenched capital.

Milliomaire Jameson Commits Suicide in His New York Home. In his bed room ia s luxurious double house on 5th avenue, facing Central Park, New York, Joseph A. Jameson, one of the oldest and most respected private bankers and brokers in New York, committed suicide some time between 10 o'clock Saturday night and noon yesterday. Mr. Jamesou was a member of the firm of Jameson, Smith & Co., with offices at No. 23 Broad street. The firm was formerly Jameson & Cotting, these two gentlemen having gone to New York from St. Louis, where they had made €1.500.009 in the dry goods business. Vhis a they put in the brokerage busi- ness and the firm remained as it was first styled untiltwo years ago, when Amos Cotting died aud Mr, Smith, well known as the ex-commo- dore of the New York Yacht Club, joined the , which then became Jameson, Smith & Co. ' About two months ago Mr. Jameson, who was sixty-seven years old, was attacked by pneumonia and for a time his life was despaired of. He pulled through, however, but had not en himself afterward. He was very moody and irritable aud evidently feared that he would not live long. With bis wife, his sister and some of his five children, all of whom are grown up, he lived in the handsome house at No. 835 5th avenue until some weeks ago, when all but himseif went to the country. His sister, Mrs. Cotting, who was the widow of his former partner, went to London about five weeks ago. It was about 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon when Mr. Jame- son entered his house, one of the two servants who were left in the house letting him in, He was notseen by the servant to leave the house, but it was afterward learned that at about 8 o'clock he went to the Murray Hill Hotel, where he ete dinner, and then returned to the house. Yesterday’ morning about 9 o'clock one of the servants knocked upon his door to summon him to breakfast. No response was made, howeyer, and Mr. Jameson did not make his appearance. At 1 o'clock, the servant becoming alarmed, sent for a park policeman, to whom she said she was afraid something had happened to Mr. Jameson. ‘The policeman ascended to the third floor, im the rear of which the broker had his bed room. The dvor was locked and knocking brought no answer. Another door, which was not locked, led into a wash room connecting with the bed room, Entering the wash room the policeman sheved open the middle door, and there, facing the door, the cfficer saw what was, #t first glance, apparently a man kueeling upon the floor im’ prayer, a8 his hands were clasped before his face. A second look, how- ever, showed that the man, who was Mr. Jameson, had hi d himeelf. He had taken a sheet from his bed and had twisted it into a rope. Then he had tied oue end to the knob of the door on the outside and had then slang the rope over the transom. Pulling the end down upon the inside, he had tied the other end around his neck. ‘hen the rope was 80 long that it was necessary for him to fall over upon his knees, and this he did, thus choking himself to death. The police were notified and the body was cut down. Then @ coroner was called, and he said that it was 80 palpably a case of suicide that au in- vestigation was hardly necesszry. Mr. Jameson, before killing himself, had taken off bis coat, vest, shirt and shocs and had put on his night robe. Ona tnble near by was a box of qninine pills, a menthol pencil and several medicine bottles. The coroner said that the pnenmonia had caused so great ain and slecplessuess that Mr. Jameson had ecome temporarily insane. He gave an order for the removal of the body, and it was taken to an undertaker's establishment. Mrs. Jame- son, who, it is believed, is at Scarborough Beach, Me., was notified. Mr. Jameson's chil- dren were Addison, thirty-two years old; Alu: ander, thirty, who is im business at Poughkeep- sie; Mrs. R. G. Murphy, whoee husband is a son of ex-Collector Tom Murphy of New York; Mrs. T. 8. Manson and Minor, who is soventeen years old and i¢ with his mother. Mr. Jameson left no note or letter to his wife or relatives. piel ainsi on ica MARY METZDORFP’S CRIME. The Sixteen-Year-VUld Baltimore Girl Who Tried to Killa Whole Family. Interest in the strange case of Mary Metz- Gorff. the sixteen-year-old Baltimore girl who kuled two persons and nearly killed her mother, increased yesterday by a letter which the girl sent from the city jail. Public sentiment is divided as to whether the girl is insane or de- praved or both. The Metzdorff family is in humble but comfortable circumstances. It eonsists of the father and mother, a young son, the daughter Mary and Mrs. Louisa Broad- water, who lived in the house, Mrs. Metzdorff is Mary's stepmother. They got along better than stepmothers and stepdanghters usually do, except that several months ago Mary ran awayseveral times and showed a tendency to wildness, On April last Mary seeured # position with a medical company which uses poisons and chem- icals in its preparations. in June alot of Hed s arscnic was purchased and a part of it was used, The rest remained in a can. to which the em- ployes had access. On the 7th of this month one of the largest lumps was missing. The next morning Mary was cailed to muke the coffee for the family, Mrs. Broadwater saw her pounding and crushing a lump of white stuff with a potato masher. When the two women and the boy sipped the coffee the boy complained of a burning sensa- tion. Then Sire, Metadorff ana Mrs, Broad- water had the same experience. Ina few min- utes they were suffering intensely, ran as rapidly as he could for a physi Broadwater died after seven hours of agony. The boy lingered until the next morning, when he, too, died. The mother hung between life aud death for two days, but her recovery is now more than probable. Before dying Mrs. Broadwater told what she had seen, ‘The police arrested Mury at the factory. She burst out crying. but soon became calm and denied all knowledge of the erime. She was taken before Mrs. Broadwater, who was still She aid nothing and exhibited no emotion what- ver. When she reached the cell she became yaterical again, For two days she sulked. r fusing food.

The news of the death of her brother did uot affect her visibly. She was considerably interested in the taking of her photograph, and spent the week passively, Now comes a new phase of the strange case in the following letter which she wrote und sent to her mother yesterday: “Drax Ma:—I write to you telling yon that I am in jail. I do not like the jail, but I do not think I will ever get clear of this crime which i have done. Iam sosorry; but it ls uo use now, for I expect to be in prison all the days of my lite. But I had no business to do what I did. But it is done, and I will be the suffsrer. 1 hope you will get entirely well. I reac in the death, and it is uot a night passes that I don't think of you all and pray to God that you might get well, Tsuppose it near ki pa when he heard of it, but I hope it wall ali be over, but with me it will never be over.” Mary then goes on to request her mother to send her clothing, ribbons, bonnet, &c.; her prayer book und a silver modal, which’ her pastor, Father Lyons, of St. Mary's Star of the a Catholic Chureh, gave her. Continuing, she writes: “Wher I go into court I want to look respect- able, so don't forget to vend these things. Try id come to see me tomorrow, and if not, send my brothers out aud bring me something to eat matrons are very nice ladies. I do not like this place and do not sleep at night, but am always thinkiug of what « mice home 1 had, But I will beusve myself while I am here.

The German seronant Wolff recently had a most terrible experience during « trip in a balicon from the grounds of the Cologne Exhi- bition of the Art of War, says the New York Sun, In company with Peter Schmite and a mane facturer named Depenheuer he started in the balloon Stoliwerk at 1 o'clock on a cloudy afternoon. The balloon flew one mile almost straight upward into the thick of a storm. Wolff, fearful of the strong winds and hail around him, decided to make a landing as soon as possible, “There was nothing but woods and woods under us," he said, subsequently, ‘The bal- loon descended with violent rapidity. I fiaally discovered a little clearing on a steep mountain side and prepared to anchor. The balloon descended more slowly, and the people who hed observed as hurricd together “untermeath tohelp us land, Idrew the ventilator a little further open and motioned to Schmitz to get out. Depenbeuer alighted end all was well, when su sal ® whirlwind struck us, A ter- riblo jerk sends me on my back in the car. I jump up to find all things swimming down, down below me, and two wen olinging help- lessly to the edge of the car. I catch at the near- est one, a peasant who tried to assist in the landing. Too late! His strength is gone; he lets go, and Ihear with horrible distinctness the mufficd thud of his body on the ground, “My heart sickens, butI rally to save my fricnd Schmitz, who still sticks to the car's side. Already the clouds are sinking beneath us. We are at least two miles above the earth, Itry to raise Schmitz into the car, but he has sunk so fardown from the edge that I can hardly grasp his wrists, and he is too weak to make an cffort for himself. Both of us groan our despair, for all seems over. Slowly aud painfully I raise him a little, set my teeth ia the back of his coat. and endeavor to bind him fast with the storm line. A few moments drag by in hope and despair and I finaliy succeed in fastening the ropeunder his arms and in tying him so to the car. There is no safety in the device, however, for were Schmitz to lose con- scionsness for an instant his body would relax and he would slip away. I calito him: Spread out your arms! Spread out your arms!” 1 hear his body m in response to my admonitiva, but his voice is lost to me. “All this has occupied twenty-five minutes, and we have in the meantime been slipping up- ward. Everything now depends on our makin: «quick landing. Idraw open the valve =a we begin falling. We plunge into a great storm. The balloon spins around in circles and sways about like a drunken man. Rain, hail, thunder aad lightning sweep.over us, The balloon reels so that I must lie on my face to reinain in the car, “Peter! Peter!’ I calito my friend, ‘Hold The fast! Only hold fast!’ “No response, for he cannot hear me, agitation of the balloon has loosened the rope and he has sagged back again, down tho side of the car, sol can see only his fiuger tips on the edge. I creep to the side of the car, seize his right wrist with my left hand, and with my right hand and teeth { tug wt the val * “{ cannot hold out longer,’ comes in a weak voice from Schmitz; ‘I am slipping away.’ “One minute, only a minute more, “and we will be there.’ The nearer we come to the ground. how- ever, the more vi nt becomes the oscillation of the balloon. Finally we slip over a house, @ barn and drop like shot to the ground. “Let go, I shout to Sehmitz, ‘and jump away from the anchor,’ “He obeys and the balioon, 196 pounds lighter, soars upward.

Watching an Opportunity to Pounce on Turkey. While the czar appears to bo giving proof of his peaceful intentions by reducing the effeet- ive force of the Russian army to a peace foot- ing his agents are busily exciting « rising in Armenia. The bext informed people believe that an insurrection is close at hand, which will be fol.owed in due time by Russian oceupa- tion of Erzeroum. The Russian garrison in Kars, Batoum and other fortitied towns has been increased and the army of the Caucasus is in a fall state. Russian statesmen seem to be making up their minds that the Armenian question is not one about which the triple alliance will ever concern itself. All now depends on the energy that the sublime porte may show in stamping out the firebrands which the Russians are scat- tering throughout Armenia, Wonderful Escape of a Swiss Guide. ‘The following xccount of the cseape of Chris- tian Linda, a Lauterbrunnen guide, is sent to the London Times by a correspondent at Mur- ren: “Linda, having accompanied a gentleman as second guide over the Tschingel glacier, was dismissed at the village of Ried, his services be- ing no longer required. He left Ried on Bune day, the 27th ultimo, at daybreak alone, with the object of returning to Lauterbrunnen, He cromed the Peteregrat® and. instead of taking the route ot the Ikchingel pass, he chose the shorter one across the glacier between the Mut- thorn and the Tschingelhorn, where he fell into a crevasse about 7 or 8 a m. on Sunday, On Wednesday morning—that is, seventy-two hours later—a gentleman spending the summer here, in ascending the ‘Tschingelhorn with Fritz Graf of Lau- terbrunucn as guide, passed the spot where Linda was engulfed, und noticing an tee ax on the edge ot the crevasse peered down and saw Liudx at the bottom. A rope was let down, which Linda was fortunately able to secure round his waist, With dificulty he was raised to the mouth of the crevasse, but being a ve heavy man his two rescuers were not powerfw enough to bring him to the surface. It was then decided that the gentleman should remain on the glacier while Graf obtained the neces- sary tackle and assistance to reseue the 1ce- entombed man, These were obtained at the Steinberg hut, or chalet, and when Linda was hauled up he was tound to be nearly dead. He was carried to the Steinberg hut und was re- moved to the hospital at Interlaken, his re- covery being doubtiul. “During the seventy-two hours Linda was in the crevasse he had no food, for he was so tightly jammed between the wails of ice he could not get at the provisions he carried in a bag on his back. He wi owever, uble to hek the ice with his tongue. It is estimated that he was found at a depth of W feet. No one will be surprised to hear that his hands and foet are terribly frost bitten; the marvel is that, situated as he was for so many hours without food to sustain animal heat, he was not frozen to death.

Startling Features of Two Recent Con- necticut Storms. The hailstones that fell im recent thunder storms im Connecticut were extraordinarily large, and cut like flying shot. In one tempest along the sound they were simpiy misshapen cbanks of ice. They tere corn inte tatters and pierced the hide of cattle so that blood fol- lowed the impact of each ice ball, The foliage of trees was slashed from the boughs. At Branford,on Long Island sound, the stones were two or three inches in circumference, and now and then one was two inches in diameter. Many windows were smashed by the ice. Itis a theory of s Connecticut weather ob- server that the ragged, wap greed formed hail accompanies any cyclone of the genuine west- ern breed. There have been two cyclones in the state this mouth and the curious hail was a feature of each. One cyclone—the first one, which was noted in the Sun at the time. -swept down the Quinnebaug river valley from a point forty miles north to this city and wrought great havoc. The other one roared along the sound shore last Sunday afternoon. It came in a fun- nel-shaped bp f and with a horrible grinding rour, In each instance thunderbolts did as much damage as the blast. Miss Josie Peck of Madieon was out in the storm, and her face was badly cut and searred by the sce pellets, At Waterbury, also, several ladies had ther faces, hands and arms deeply cut aud blood flowed from their wounds. A SHARK IN THE PATAPSCO. Baltimore Bathers Scamper Ont of the Water to Avoid a Man-Kater. The small boys and the young men who every day take a bath in the neighborhood of the ferry slips at Locust Point, on the Patapsco, and, in fact, anywhere in Baltimore harbor, will certainly desist for a few days when they learn that shark made his appearance there yester- day afternoon and at once began te acquaint himself with the neighborhood and its ways. ‘The first persons to see the man-eater were Capt, James B, Boone of the tag Favorite and Lawrence McHugh, who happened to be aboard the tug. They observed the monster about 3 o'clock off the Locust Point elevators, and plainly discovered the head. fina and tail He appeared to be about twelve feet long and heading directly for the slip, in which lay the schooner William A. Marbury, There were a num- ber of boys and men in swimming there at the time anda yell from McHugh caused them to scamper out of the water in short order, Some of the boys when they got ashore ran nuked and never stopped until they reached their homes, several squares away. Policemen chased them and threatened to get out warrants on the charge of indecent exposure. Other bathers hid themselves in the coal bine that line the various wharves, where they remained for hours. A huge eel skin filled with six bushels of grain, the property of P. J. Hag- Rerty, superintendent of the Consolidated Cool Company's docks, which hung over the side of one of the piers, was gobbled up by the shark, After that he disappeared in the direction of the coal piers higher up the point HAMMERFEST BURNED. Sad Fate of the World’s Most Northera Town. ig. According to telegraphic advices received in Christiania on July 21 the greater portion of Hammerfest, the most northerly town act only in Norway, but iu the world, has been destroyed. by tice. It appears, says a correspondent of the Paris Galignani Messenger, that “the whole of the Strangade as far as the Roman Catholic Church, the market place, the custom house, the school, the town hall, the prison, the post office, the apothecary’s shop, the public offices andthe piers have been burned down, The damage is estimated at 5,000,000kr., of which only a small portion is said to be covered by insurance. The official archives were saved. Great distress prevails, and provisions and help have been dispatched by one of the tourist steamers from Tromso, News is, however, rather scanty, a8 the telegraphic cenmmunica- tion has been interrupted by the fire. It as, lnekily. some time since we have had such & disastrous fire in Norway, where in years gone by they were wo sadiy frequent, but stone houses are now in many places being substi- tuted for wooden ones, “‘Hammertest is of course no large town; stiff its mhabitaute number about 2.400 souis, and the place has a certain importance mpart from the interest that attaches to it from a commercial point of view, Hammerfest does aconsiderable trade with the Russians in the Archangelsk government. and a large fleet of sealing and whaling vexsele belong to it. It is situated on the island of Kvalo, on the western side, om the border of the region of the birch tree. The northernmost birch forest is a lite wood at the Akkarfjord, some four miles to the south of Hammerfest, in the immediate neigh- borhood of which there is nota single tree, From May 13 to July 26 the sun is permanently above the horizon, but it does not make its ap- pearance between November 20 and January 21, ‘The principal street im the town is “Storgaden,” with the charch, the town hall, the higher school and the national school, which are probably all burnt down. Per- pendieular upon this street is the Gronnevold- gade, where & number of train-vil boiling es- twblishmnents are situated, and very unpleasant neighbors they are. “fhe houses of Hammerfest are modest wooden edifices, the tops of which are often covered with a comparatively thriving vegeta- tion. ‘he town hall was rather prettily deeo- rated ingide, and tue two churches, of which it would appear thatthe Lutheran hus been de- stroy possessed a certain unambitious coxi- noss. ‘There are, or were, two hotels, and there is often a good deal of life going on, both in the harbor and on shore, where Luplanders and Kvanes aro always about in their peculiar drostes. The trade, as a good many things akout Hammerfest, is somewhat primitive, be- ing mostly done by exchange. The Ru: bring tea, flour and other merchandise, for which they receive fish aud salt, but only very rarely coins of the realm “Civilization has been somewhat slow in reaching Hammerfest, and zbout as late as the middle of this century there was but one na- tional school, where the Norwegian children sat on one side of the only room and the chil- dren of the Laplanders and the Kvanes on the other. The access to the school room was through an onter apartment which was used us mortuary for the remains of such hapless Lap- landers as should be buried in the town. This remote position has, however, also its advan- tages, among which I may mention that the & vation Army has not yet attacked Hammer- fest.” SITUATION GUATEMALA, The Troops Fight Among Themselves and Then Mutiny. Reports from the Salvador frontier say that the Guatemalan forces fell to fighting among themselves Saturday. The result wasa mutiny and the troops finally abandoned their posi- tions. The army of Salvador still awaits developments and has orders to govern itself according to circumstances, The provisional government has deposited with a bank in Sal- yador tunds to cover an English loan. Gen. Ezeta declares that he willsustain the credit of the nation abroad as well as the honor of his country at the frontier. Since Mi Mizner started for Guatemala nothing has been heard from him nor from any other member of the diplomatic corps ~~ -¢@e—_—_____ CHINN AND HIS BOWIE KNIFE, The Horseman Again Shows His Prow- 0s as w Slasher, Turfmen Jack Chinn and his bowie knife have come to the frontagain.
