DROPPED INTO THE CELLAR. Serious Accident at a Christening—Fall of a Floor—Two Men Badly Injured. A singular accident occarred Inst evening at the honse of Henry Schroth, 1726 Half street southeast, He had invited a number of his friends to be present at the christening of his infant child. The company were assembled in the back room of the.first floor, where refresh- ments were served, but when the christening services were begun most of the company went into the front room. While the exercises were in progress a crash was heard and the startled company found that the floor of the back room had given way and the farniture and the few guests who happened to be in that room had fallen into the cellar. Wm. Beckstadt, who lives at 469 I street southwest, and Henry E. Gross of 1907 11th street northwest were caught in the wreck and found to be quite seriously injured. The former was hurt internally and the latter had one of his legs injured. The wounded men were taken out of the wreck, medicai assistance was at once summoned, and subsequently they were removed to their homes. Had the accident occurred a few min- utes before, when the entire company was in the room, a great many would probably have been injured. Mr. Schroth has lived in the house a number of years and had no idea that the floor was unsafe. oe SS A Bold Robbery by Boys. Saturday afternoon two colored boys jumped into a herdic as it was passing Corcoran and 15th streets and one of them snatched the hand satche! of Mrs. Eliza Bruce, who in trying to save the satchel fell and was slightly injured. The boys succeeded in getting away with the satchel and contents—#%3, some receipts and a bunch of keys. ere eee Dr. Ward’s Jubilee. Rev. James T. Ward, D. D., the president of theWestminster Theological Seminary of Mary- land, yesterday occupied the pulpit of the Mount Tabor M. P. Church, High and 35th streets, Georgetown. The occasion was the fit- tieth anniversary of the delivery of his first sermon in the same locality, and his sermon was appropriate to the day. Dr. Ward is now in his seventy-first year. Fifty years ago, after preaching at a church at Tenleytown, he be- came the pastor of the 9th-street M. P. Church, in this city. es Wheel Races at Bennings.

They Drove Too Fast. Henry Barnes and Gus Brown, colored boys, were out riding yesterday and drove faster than the law allows. They were atrested by two policemen, and today in the Police Court five cases were filed growing out of the one transaction. There were two charges against Barnes and three against Brown. Barnes was tried and fined #10 on one charge and the other charge was dismissed. The case of Brown was continued at his own request. ee ANACOSTIA. Goop Hore Camp Mertina.—The Good Hope camp meeting was attended by a multitude yes- terday. Rev. M. W. Traverse preached at 11 a.m., from Galatians, 2, 20,1 am crucified with Christ. nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me,” &c. The sermon was astrong appeal to sinners. At 3 p.m. Rev. Shockelford of Hillsdale preached from Mat- thew. 25, 46, “And these shall go away unto everlasting punishment, but the righteous unto life rternal,” and pointed out vividly the parting of the ways, deeply moving his hearers. A rousing experience. mecting was held be- tween 5 and 8 o’ciock, following which Prof. A. M. Green. D.D., presiding elder of the Baton A DEAF MUTE CONVENTIO! Prominent Educators at a Notable Gathering in New York. Correspondence of Tas Evexrxo Stan. New Yorx, August 24. The largest convention of instructors of the deaf probably ever held in this country and partaking somewhat of an international char- acter convened here yesterday in the large auditorium or chapel of the New York Deaf and Dumb Institution on Washington Heights. Upward of 300 delegates assembled to discuss and determine upon the best methods of in- structing and improving the condition of the Deaf. Dr. E. M. Gallaudet of Washington, D.C., president of the National College for the deaf, called the meeting to order with afew Prefatory remarks, which were translated to the audience, mainly composed of deaf, in the antomime sign language by the Rev. Thos. allaudet, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell. also of Washington, was nominated tempora' chairman and took the chair amid mucl applause. Dr. Bell, in a felicitous speech, ac- knowledged tho honor conferred upon bim, and evidently by his remarks imparted to those assembled @ most fraternal feeling. He was followed by Dr. J. L. Peet, the principal of the New York institution, who extended a heart; welcome to his ita, his address being si- leutly interpreted to the deaf with dramatic effect by Prof. W. G. Jones. Dr. Thos. Gallau- det then, on behalf of the trustees of the New York institution, also extended words of wel- come in which he feelingly referred to the past history of deaf mute education and the brighter prospects of the future. Mr. F. D. Ciarke of Little Rock, Ark., Dr. P. G. Gillette of Illinois, Mr. R. Matheson of Canada and Prof. E. H. Currier followed in brief and ap- propriate addresses, The committee on permanent organization, consisting of R. Matheson of Canada. W. A. Cauldwell of Pennsylvania, H. C. Hammond of Illinois, G. W. Veditz of Colorado and Miss Richards of Rhode Island, then reported the following ticket of permanent officers: President—W. Wilkinson, Califor Vice residents—J. Scott Hutton, Nova Scotia; J.W. Williams, Hartford; S. Vail, Indiana; D, Greenberger, New York; Miss E, L. Barton, Portland, Me.; J. R. Dobyns, vere th RP. McGregor, Obio, and A. G. Draper, Washing- ton. Secretaries—E. H.

Wostervelt, New York, and Miss K. H. Fish, Maryland. Three interpreters were also appointed to transfer the words of speakers into the sign language during the convention. At the evening session a paperon “The Standard of Teaching,” by Weston Jenkins, principal of the New Jersey Institution, was read and discussed by many teachers—both deaf and hearing—the remarks of each being interpreted, either verbally or by signs accord- ing to the speakers, several ladies taking part in the discussion. Another paper on ** - guage Teaching,” by Prof. 8. W. Swiler of Wisconsin, was read and briefly discussed, To- day religious services for the dead were hold in St. Ann’s Church at 11 a, m. and at the in- stitute chapel in the afternoon. The sessions of the convention will continue for several days, three sessions daily. Moral instruction of the deaf, manual training, increased oral instruction and many other topics of interest to the deaf and those engaged in their instruc- tion will come up for discussion, and no doubt ihe tauah-anoiek question of the propriety of the intermarriage of the congenital deaf will receive attention. Altogether the convention, considering the rominence of those attending it, Promises to Be one of the most instructive of its character ever held in this or any other country. Many letters from abroad were read frbm persons regretting inability to attend in person. Among those present from Washington in addition to President Gallaudet and Dr. Alexander Graham Bell was Prof. E. A. Fay, editor of “the Amer- ican Annals of the Dea! HL oo Too Much Shade. In a recent number of the Sanitarian Dr. W. T. Parker protests against thick planting of trees very near the house. Not only do they prevent the free access of air and of sunshine or even light, but they also injure the character of the soil as suited for permanent occupation. “A soil,” says the writer, “‘loaded with roots and densely shaded is unfit for man to live upon constantly. * * * Vegetation pro- duces a great effect upon the movement of the air. Its velocity is checked, and sometimes in thick clusters of trees or underwood the air is almost stagnant.

Inconeluding he pictured a dying sin- ner, a mortally wounded soldier. refusing the entreaties of his brother. After five days the spirit departed in the form ofa bird from his mouth and lighted ina pile of wood in the corner of the room. When the brother dis- turbed the wood the bird flew away screaming, “Lost, lost!” As the speaker placed the finish- ing touches on the picture there were many wails and shrieks throughout the audience, and the meeting was quickly transformed into an interesting prayer meeting. Tuc Tempenance Revivat.—The temperance folks are getting lots of signers to the pledge. Friday evening the tent was nearly undone by the heavy wind, but a big crowd came out that night to hear Mrs. Chambers and Billy Boyd. Saturday night Dr. Kirby of Philadelphia gave an illustrated lecture on the animal economy, with special reference to the effect of alcohol on the stomach, and was followed by Jerry Williams, who lifted his audience up several octaves The Sunday afternoon meeting, un- der the auspices of the Band of Hope and Jun- was addressed by Kev. E. Rich- ardson of the M. E. Church, Rey. Geo. Bowan of the Baptist Church and B. Milstead. Reci- tations were rendered by Miss Anderson, Migs Bowman and others, and the exercises were in- teresting throughout. Rev. C. N. Whitney ad- dressed a large crowd at night, PROHIBITION AND THE Farmers’ ALLIANCE.— Col. J. C. Lee, the prohibition worker, at- tended a Farmers’ Alliance meeting at Rock- ville, Md., Suturday afternoon. ‘he object of his visit was to see if the farmers carry their cre- dentials in a battle, or would join the “‘prohibs” and make acorker for the old parties. The speaker showed that it would take more bush- els of whest to pay the national debt now than it would to have paid the larger debt at the close of the war, and made a strong argument for the subtreasury plan, holding that the farmer has as good a right to place his corn in bond as the whisky men have their corn juice. OpsecT ro THE YORMS.—The recent order of the board of visitors to St. Elizabeth Hospi- tal that the employes of that institution shall wear uniforms, to be secured of a Washing- ton house, has caused some commotion among the several hundred people affected thereby. A few refused to obey the order and have been dismissed. The suits are to be of blue flannel with brass buttons, AxnesTED.—Geo.

Said a Madison street druggist: “I am sell- ing a good deal of luminous paint lately. What for? To put around keyhges. Such a thing used to be unheard of? Yes. Why is so much of it sold now? I'll tell you. The electric light of the street is the cause of it, in the good old days—more correctly speaking, in the good old nights—men who went home late o' nights had no difficulty in finding the keyholes, for the reason that there was a gaslight in the middle of the block and it showed the hole. Now this electric light of the street is on the corner, and if your keyhole is in the middlo of the block you have to fumble to tind it. Some- body, I don’t know who, painted his with luminous paint, and the result traveled like a piece of gossip. From thattime the demand for luminous paint has been on the increase, When a man comes in here and asks in a sort of sneaking way for 10 cents’ worth of luminous paint I know he is a late stayer down town and that he is going to paint his keyhole.” soe “= Effects of the Grip. From the New York Tribune. There can be no doubt that a considerable number of people have not yet wholly recov- ered from the attacks of the grip, of which they were the victims last winter. They are more susceptible to changes of the weather, and, consequently, to colds, than in ordinary seasons. There is nothing, therefore, to cause alarm in the announcement that some deaths in the city recently are attributed to “the grip and its complications.” These cases are by no means indicative of a speedy return of our strange and unwelcome visitor. Those weak- ened by attacks of the disease a few months ago, however, should feel under pecu- liar obligations to build up their health as much «8 possible during the sum- mer in anticipation of what next winter may bring in the ordinary course.

From the Boston Transcript. A friend sends this incident from Brookfield: We had been doing the pottery with some of the new summerists who had just come and en- joyed the many things we saw there. Going into one room we found several little girls | varnishing the saucers of flower pots. One of the ladies tried to converse with one of the girls, but the attempt was useless, Then the foreman said: “She doesn’t speak English; she’s French.” Two of our party who had studied French, and who pride themselves on their Parisian accent, said they would speak to her. After some consultation one asked her if she liked her work. Silence from the French girl. Then the other began: “Quel age avez-vous?” “Oh, shut up!” exclaimed the girl, looking ‘up angrily, We concluded that her English education had commenced. acta °° Ae Christening a New Steamship.

EXCURSIONS, PICNICS, &c. Chotr Leader Reeves Thinks He Saw the Spirit of a Departed Friend. Friday noon Edwin Russell, a prominent real estate broker, who was at one time presi- dent of the British Bank at Portland, Ore., and whose father is master of Birmingham Hall; England, died of apoplexy at San Francisco, ‘Three hours later his ghost appeared before Harry W. Reeves, leader of St. Luke's choir, of which Russell was a member. The case is of ‘Unusual interest because of the prominence of the people concerned, all of whom are skeptics and never took any stock in spiritualism. Reeves is the son of Sim Reeves, the famous English tensr, and he con- ducted the music at President Arthur's funeral. It was while he was arranging the music for Sunday's service that the a ition a) ae Heorcs Polates his ‘Oxperience in the ra lowing words: “I went into my room and lay down on the lounge, then by an impulse I cannot account for I walked to the door. The head of the stairway was somewhat dimly lighted, but not 80 dimly but what I could at once see what ap- peared to be the figure of Russell. It was 80 real, so lifelike, that I at once stepped forward and stretched out my hand and was about to speak some words ot welcome. The figure seemed to have a roll of music in one hand and the ofher over its face, but it was Russell, I am quitesure.

Then I tell against the wall and gasped out , my God! My sister and niece, with other folks, came up. My niece said: ‘Uncle Harry, what's the mat- ter?’ I went on to explain what it was, but was so scared that I could hardly speak. M. niece said: ‘Don’t you know Russell is dead?’ ll, that paralyzed me. Itonly made matters worse, and I nearly fainted.” The Mentmore Arrives in Port With Her Cargo Fiercely Burning. The British steamer Mentmore, Capt. Waite, arrived at Plymouth, England,Saturday on fire. The Mentmore left London Thursday for Bos- ton with a large general cargo, She carried no passengers beyond eight cattle drovers. At 1 o’clock Saturday morning, when the steamer was 15 miles off the Eddystone rocks, smoke was seen issuing from her lower forehold,where @ quantity of rags, jute, tallow and oil was stowed. The hose was at once set to work, but the fire gained steadily. At6 o'clock the vessel steamed into Plymouth Sound and signalled for assistance. A launch with a hand fire engine on board and several steam tenders went tothe rescue promptly, and water from a dozen lines of hose was soon Lat | into the hold. Capt. Waite was nearly blinded by smoke. The steamer has been flooded and the fire extin- guished. She is now in the harbor. It is be- lieved that the damage is co1 d to her cargo. s0° THE KAISER LEAVES RUSSIA. He is Accompanied to the St. Peters- burg Quay by the Czar. A farewell banquet was given Saturday evening atthe Peterhof palace. The czar, Emperor William, Chancellor von Caprivi, M. de Giers and a number of leading officials were present. After the banquet the czar and the emperor went out upon the baleony which overlooks the gardens of the palace. These were brilliantly illuminated, the fountains, the cascades and grottoes being lighted up with colored fires and presenting a dazzling spec- tacle. Conspicuous among other devices was a huge shield, on which were displayed the German emperor's initials in letters of fire and the coat-of-arms of Prussia. At 10o'clock the emperor departed, He was accompanied to the quay by the czar, the officers of the Viborg regiment, of which the emperor is honorary colonel, forming a guard of honor. Upon ar- riving at the landins stage, the emperor shook hands with each of the officers and bade the ezar a cordial farewell. As the steamer left the quay the czar called out: “Bon voyage; au revoir,” The emperor boarded the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, which put to sea at once, es- corted by the German ironclad Irene. Vice Admiral Schwartz, military governor of Cron- staadt, gave a dinner Saturday evening to the ofticers of the Irene and Hohenzollern. The admiral toasted Emperor William and Count von Arnim proposed the health of the czar. The Grashdanin jays that while the czar and Emperor William desire peace in order to occupy themselves with internal affairs there is no problem. either actual or prospective, that can serve them as a motive for common action. ‘Ihe interview, therefore,cou!d admit of no object beyond that of strengthening the present peace by afford- ing ocular testimony as to the amicable rela- tions existing between Russia and Germany, BLOODY SUNDAY IN CINCINNATL Three Murders and Two Serious Assaults in a Few Hours. Within four hours, from 9 o'clock Saturday night to 1 o'clock yesterday morning, there were in Cincinnati and its immediate ontskirts three murders and two murderous assaults, one at least of which will terminate the victim's life and make the assailant a murderer. At9 o'clock in the western part of the city, in Van Horn ailey near Cutter street, Bob Bur- ley had his throat cut from ear to ear by Chay, White. Both were colored laborers in a Broad- way tobacco house and they lived in the same house. The murder was instantaneous and the quarrel was over a €5 account, Both were drunk. The weapon was a razor. It was on Abigail street near Broadway last Tuesday might that Ed McCarthy, a paroled convict from the penitentiary, got his pistol taken from him and got baily beaten by a crowd he attacked.

The éteamer Oceanic, from China and Japan, which arrived at San Francisco Friday, brings alarming tidings concerning the spread of the cholera scourge in the orient. According to her advices, the epidemic thus far has caused the death of nearly 4,000 persons. One great impediment to checking the disease is the carelessness of the authorities, who, in their effort tocontrol the epidemic in cities, have allowed it to spread in the interior. Nagasaki, Japan, is a hotbed of the epidemic, but Yoko- hama, Tokio, Shanghai, Kobe and innumera- ble smaller towns have suffered severely. Two European ladies, Mrs. and Miss Shroeder, who arrived in from Shanghai, died shortly after landing, the former suffering but eighteen hours’ sickness. August 4 reports from the interior showed 2,983 cases and 1,520 deaths, which would make a total of about 6,000 cases in the city and country and 4,000 deaths. These figures, how- ver, do not cover the entire field. There are reds of little viliages from which no news has been received, and the progress of the scourge in China has not been recorded. The outbreak of cholera at Nagasaki has been dreaded for some time oy foreign medical men, who advised native officials of the threat- ened danger, but no heed was paid to this warning. Thee cholera epidemic, in conjunction with tho rice famine, leaves the Ee of Japan ttle prospect in a deplorable condition, with of early relief, z Agreed to Quit.

Mrs, Busan Ridaleberger, mother of the The Detectives May Be Employed Railroad Property is in Danger. At the annual congress of the New Jersey State Federation of Trades and Labor Unions in Newark last Monday the delegates felicitated themselves upon the passage by the legislature last winter of the act known a8 the “‘anti-Pink- erton bill” It was said and repeated over and over again that in future labor strikes in New Jersey, when the railroads were involved, no “Pinkerton thugs” would be allowed under that law to be commissioned as special officers to protect railroad property. The bill in question was prepared by the legislative committee of the state federation and introduced at the committee's request. It was knocked about among committees, amended several times and finally passed both houses and was signed by the governor. The bill retained its title when it became a law and that isaboutall. In every essential respect it was a radically different bill. The prohibition in the law relates only to times of peace. That is to say. when no riot is threatened or in pro- gress. When the railroad authorities have Feason to believe that their property is im danger from the violence of strikers or mol there is nothing in the “anti-linkerton law” to forbid them from bringing out their Pinker- ton men with Winchesters to protect their property. This will be news to the labor" leaders, but it isafact. There are democratic candidates for re-election to the assembly who are preparing to claim the credit on the stump for the pas sage of this bogus law. Perhaps when the truth becomes better known ampng their con- stituencies they will modestly allow to others the credit for the law. tes MIZNER ARBITRATES. The Central American Treaty Likely to be Signed by Ezeta. The New York Herold's City of Guatemala i “The plenipotontiaries assembled y) for the lnst time. The party in conference consisted of Mr. Mizner, United States minister; Senor Arellano, minister of Spain; M. Reynaud, minister of Frauce, and the German and Belgian representatives, to- gether with the plenipotentiary of Nicaragua and also that of Costa Rica, in company with Dr. Galindn, the official delegate of Sal- vador, They met at the presidential palace in order to have a conference with President Ba- rillas and his cabinet, to ratify and sign the preliminaries of peace, which have been in Rropersies for the last five days. The presi- lent received them and, being informed of the object of the call, said that he was ready to ratify the agreements, and with his secretary of foreign affairs, Senor Anguiana, signed the protocol. Highly satisfied the ministers then dispersed. “Tomorrow the Ameri minister in com- pany with the Spanish minister will go to Sal- yador to present the matter to Provisional President Ezeta and request him, in the name of the diplomatic body of Central America and for the suke of humanity, to ratify the prelimi- nary agreement and conditions as accepted by Guatemala, “‘As the treaty is said to be very honorable to Salvador it is thought there is no doubt of Ezeta’s signature and the sanction of all Sal- vador. “Senor Galindo will go to Salvador with Min- ister Mizner. The U.S.S. Thetis takes them from San Jose. The full text of the treaty will be made public Monday or Tuesday.” — soe Hypnotism. From the Providence Journal, It is a significant fact that hypnotism has Proved the principal subject of discussion at the congress of the British Medical Association at Birmingham. The professional carelessness accorded its development in successive stages from “‘animal magnetism,” so called, through mesinerism and kindred phases, is now, in the light of present progress, abandoned to make way for a thorough study of the science. Even the country physician is beginning to recognize the importance of investigating the subject, and the study of hypnotism, in consequence of the new interest, is enjoying as great a popu- larity as though it were an authorized society “fad.” Whatever be the results of the present attention which the new science attracts, and it is inevitable that medical practice shall gain in the increased knowledge concerning it, the rise of hypnotism must prove beneficent in widen- ing the professional horizon. ‘There is much old-fashioned method in medicine of great value, no doubt, but there is much con- servatism that borders on fogyism, also, and thus anything is valuable which broadens the established view. The advent of hypno- tism asa subject for scientific study brings with it to many physicians the beginning of an era of personally progressive ideas; with others it strengthens the habit of advanced investigation already established. The action of the British congress referred to is inter- esting. The association dealt with three prop- ositions, namely: Has hypnotism really the characteristics ascribed to it by ite practisers? Does it injuriously affect those who are sub- jected to its influence? Is it likely to prove of use either asa curative agent or as an anss- thetic? Regarding the first of these proposi- tions the answer was decisive, the phenomena presented as evidence by the practisers being accepted as facts, As to the second question, the after effects were declared to be most se- tious. The third query received a reply leas definite, but it was agreed that the evidence in hand is sufficient to warrant further experi- mentation. These decisions are noteworthy, for they come from an association of whose authority to speak there can be no doubt. Hypnotism as a scientific study is here for the present, at least, and physicians generally will do well to investigate its remarkable phenom- ena £0 far as their limitations wili permit. Gladstone’s Remarkable Vigor. London Special to Philadelphia Press, If Mr. Gladstone was an ordinary old gentle. man ho ought at thie moment to be tucked in bed with hot-water bottles at his feet and mus- tard plasters on his chest. That he differs from the average man at eighty odd years is proved by the fact that today he is in the best of health, notwithstanding the fact that on Thursday, which was an unusually chilly day, he stood for forty-five minutes in a pouring rain, speaking words of wisdom to a small andience of enthusiastic agriculturists. The oc- casion was the annual flower, fruit and vegeta- ble show at Hawarden. Mr. Gladstone had promised to make a speech in the open air in Tront of his castle, but the wether was so atro- cious that it was generally supposed that he would not keep his engagement. Mr. Giad- stone. however, appeared outside at the ap- pointed time, Attempts of his wife to insinuate a mackintosh on his shoulders were fruitless, and the orator was wet through before he recognized the reasonableness of her sugges- tion to put up his umbrella, Mr. Gladstone is desirous of taking a long rest in the country before entering upon his autumn campaign. According to present ar- rangements he leaves Hawarden for Scotland on October 20, i A Boston Girl’s Awful Plight.

A large party of Philadelphia riders, includ- ing members from a number of the different clubs, arrived Saturday evening, and two cial trains, containing the bulk of the visitors from Pennsylvania, arrived last night. Penn- sylvanin is more largely represented at the meet than any other visiting division, and Phil- adelphia has more representatives present than any other city, the gray uniforms worn by the Quaker City riders being seen everywhere, This morning a convention 1 called to con- sider a number of proposed changes in the L.

Mrs. Langtry’s plaas for the season are even now very doubtful, for it is just announced that she will not take the Princess Theater. where it was stated she was to revive “Antony and Cleopatra.” Her unfortunate experiment atthe St. James Theater seems to have dis- couraged her. ieee Clifton Rodes Barrett, a Louisville, K, banker, assigned Saturday.
