Hill, While at dinner Saturday evening Mr. Hill began to feel very ill. He re- tired to his bed room, and the family physician, Dr. Klocher, was summoned. He responded at once, but was unable to do anything for his friend and patient, who died at 11:30. T! canse of his death was an apoplectic stroke.

There is a Washington physician who some years ago made an important discovery— nothing less than a cure for consumption. The cure was effected in his own caso, but his doubts as to whether the same remedy would be equally efficacious if tried on other people have deterred him from making the facts gen- erally known, The ductor. as he supposed at the time, was a victim of consumption and was coughing up sections of his lungs until he Jas.

The Fight Between Compton and Mudd Alrcady Inaugurated. Prince George’s county politics are waking up and the voice of the vote getter is heard among the hills. Democratic primaries were held Saturday evening, but the nomination of Barnes Compton for Congress is 60 much of a foregone conclusion that the battle is already in, Two years ago the county went sixty- odd votes democratic and will be hotly con- tested this fall. There are no local or state candidates to be chosen and the fight will be a square one between democrats and republicans on national issues and the personal qualitica- tions of the congressional nominees, Compton and Mudd. Last year the county went repub- I by a small margin and every county office is tilled by a member of that party, which may prove advantageous to Mr, Mudd this fall, ‘The Farmers’ Alliance recently organized has now amembership of over three hundred and is rapidly growing. Its strength if used, it is cia:med, would control the county and the con- gressional district. The new registration law leaves the politicians in the dark till the noses are counted, Quite a number of disappointed Office seekers, it is said, will vote agninst Mudd or stay athome. Among the democrats there is a strong sentiment in savor of the election of Compton as a vindication. loth sides are pre- paring for some grand railies in the county. SHUT-OUT IN JERSEY. The Columbia Ball Players Defeated— Other Games. The Columbia ball team suffered a shut-out and a defeat Saturday at the hands of the New Jersey Athletic Club's nine at Bergen Pomt, the score being 4 to0. The trouble was that the opposing pitcher (Currie) was too decep- tive. The Columbias hit him often enough, but not safely, and they were thrown out on the bases. Walsh und Daly wore in the points for the Washington athletes. ‘The fielding was very clever on both sides, the worst break be- ing an error by Lolway, who let o grounder go through him and a run was scored. The Jerseymen wero fortu- nate in bunching their bits and won by virtue of general good playing. O, P. Caylor, the editor of the Sporting Zunes, umpired the game. Severai Columbia Club men were prea- ent at the contest as spectators. Columbi: made 4 hits and 5 errors and New Jersey 8 hits and4errors.

Why the Lady of the Lake Had to Transfer Her Passengers. The steamer Lady of the Lake, while on her regular trip from Norfolk to Washington Sat- urday morning with 125 passengers, ctruck an oyster rock while making the landing at Point Lookout and knocked a hole in her bottom. The accident occurred at 1:35 in the morning, and while the shock was sufficient to awake the passengers there was no confusion of any sort. Capt. Barker examined the damage and de- cided that he could make the landing at Piney Point. When neur Piney Point, however, the water poured into the boat to such an extent that it was found necessary to ran her aground, The steamer was run into shoal water and beached at King Coposico Point, A number of the passengers chartered the tug boat Joseph Zane and came up to the city by that means, ‘The rest of the passengers and the perishable freight came up on the Sue later on, The Lady of the Lake will be raised to day and towed up to the city, where her hull will be thoroughly repaired, The statement was made at the office of the steamboat company Saturday in explanation of the transfer of the passengers that the boat ren out of fuel. A statement of the accident given to the Stan by a passenger 1s as follows: “In stead of running out of fuel Capt. Barker wu. necessarily run out of his course to make his landing at Point Lookout and struck a rock | tend marked by a buoy, cutting a hole in the ottom of the boat. On landing at Point Look- out he remarked that he had struck the rock, but instead of making an examination he took on a ton of freight and nearly fifty passengers, notwithstanding h boat “was overloaded already, and left for Piney Point, where moro passengers and more freight was taken on Suddenly all hands were called to the pumps and off she started up the channel, where the water is from forty to sixty ‘feet deep. Midway between Piney Point and Blackiston Island the water gained so fast that it became necessary to throw overboard « considerable amount of freight, and finally, the captain con- cluded to beach the boat near Nomini, which was done in about ten feet of water. There tho life boats were lowered, the mate and a com- panion put ashore with instructions to reach the nearest telephone station, telephone to Fredericksburg and from there reach Washing- ton by telegraph, giving a statement of facts, instead of which the company, through its superintendent, Mr. Phillips, announced that the “fuel had given out.” This all happened between 2 and 5 o'clock Saturday morning. and about 9 o'clock the steam tug Jos. Zano came alongside and an- nounced that for 240 she would take twenty passengers to Washington, and some took ad- vantage of it. The balance were compelled to wait the arrival of the steamer Sue, which came near noon and took us all on board. Probavly there never was a more grateful shipwrecked crew than ours, and Capt. Goehegan of the Sué has endeared himself in the hearts of fully one hundred people by his kindly attentions.” THE ANDREWS CASE, The Detectives Have Found Nothing to Substantiate the Murder Theory. ‘The facts connected with the disappearance of Charles C, Andrews, the fresco painter, and the subsequent finding of a body in the river near Holtzman’s landing, as published in Tne Stan at the time, have again been brought to public attention, the only additional fact made public being Andrews’ vis‘t to a house‘of ill-re- pute, kept by a woman named May Gray. Detectives Horne and Mahon were detailed a few days ago to further inquire into the cir- cumstances attending the death of the man whose body was identified as that of the miss- ing Andrews. ‘The theory that the man was murdered, so far as the detectives’ investigation goes, has little foundation, When Andrews, who was intoxicated when last scen, visited the disreputable house. it is stated he had neither watch nor funds and the ; Proprietress of the house refused to give him credit. The fact that the clothes have not been found is claimed by some as evidence of foul lay. Dr. Coyle, the Baltimore dentist who exumined the head and teeth of the drowned man, identified the fillings in the teeth as cor- responding to those that he filled fourteen years ago, and on his evidence the Beneficial Endowment Association and the Royal Arcanum decided to settle the insurance on Andrews. ‘This case recal.s one that occnrred in Balti- more fifteen years ago, in which the same means wore taken to identify a corpse, and it afterward proved a case of mistaken identity. ‘The missing man owned a factory on the York road, near what was then Waverly. ‘The fac- tory was burned and beneath the smouldering timbers was found a man’s skeleton, It was supposed to be the skeleton of the proprietor. A dentist completed the identification and 1 insurance money was paid. It subsequently turned out that the proprie- tor was in Philadelphia living on the insurance money and he was arrested and prosecuted. Detectives Horne and Mahon made a search of the woods near Holtzman's yesterday for the clothes of the drowned man, but the only thing they found were wild flowers. The river will probably be dragged tomorrow for the missing clothes, ———<—___ A WASHINGTON MAN WOUNDED. Serfously Stabbed at Rockville, Md.— Montgomery County Politics. Correspondence of Tur. EvENtNG STAR. Kockvitur, Mp., Sept. 7. Considerable excitement was created in this place yesterday evening about 4 o'clock, when «colored man named Geo. Meads rushed into the office of Justice Morgan and reported to that officer that a white man had been badly cut by another at Monkey Run, in the vicinity of town, and that the man who did the cutting was trying to make his escape. There being no other person present the justice deputized Meads to follow the man and bring him back. From the place where the cutting occurred the assailant had made his way across a vacant lot to the main street, and seeing a hall door open at the residence of Mr. Albert King ran through the house and across several lots, coming to another street near the public school house, where he was captured by Meads and an excited crowd who had followed him. Justice Morgan ordered him wo be taken to his office, but while on his he was released by his captors and mado his escape to the woods, When asked why he had allowed the prisoner to go Mends said that he was told by a young white man in the crowd that he had no right toarrest the man without a warrant and would get himself in difficulty, and he therefore let him escape. In the meantime the services of Dr. Edward Anderson had been secured for the wounded man, and upon examination he found that the victim had received a severe stab in the right thigh and was also cut on the left arm. He bled profasely before his wounds were dressed and appeared to be in much pain, He states that his nuine 1s Edward Easton, that he isa native of Orange county, Va., and been living in Washington for the past year in the employ of Jas.

Morrow at Gheens’ stables, and came bere with him to the fair to attend to his horses, Of his assailant he does not even know the name, but says he ted to him that he was from Frederick + Md., whero he practiced veterinary surgery. He says they had been together during the day in the locality named above, which has not a very high reputation for sobriety, and that the diiticnity arose because he refused to lend his assailant 25 cents to buy whisky with, Today the wounded man is resting casy at the Cor- coran Hotel, where he was carried after the affray, and his physician thinks his chances for recovery are good. The people of the town are very indignant at the fact that the would- be murderer was allowed to escape, and efforts will be made to have him arrested. ‘The officers of registrations for the thirteen election districts of the county have for some time bee: of ascertaining what names aro to be stricken from ~ lists of poet tapi new law.

The Colors and the Music Harmonized. Those who were fortunate enough to be present at the concert of the Marine Band at the White House last Saturday will remember with delight the excellent program rendered. Among the choice selections was the number entitled “Episode in a Soldier's Life.” The iliustrations were given with fine effect and the various calls by the bugiers—hidden away in different parts of the grounds—reminded the soldier of the tented ficids in days gone by. One of the gems in the selection was “Annie Laurie,” given with four cornets aud a subdued accompaniment, while the strains of ‘The Vacant C! Rally Round the Flaz” touched many a heart in that vast audience. During the performance of this beautiful piece the clouds threatened rain, but this did not deter the band from its work and near the closo a most beautiful coincidence oc- eurred. ‘Lhe sun was near its seiting and his rays fell upon the upper part of the Washing- ton monument, bathing it in crimson glow, while the middle of the great shaft retained its original white, the lower part taking on a more somber hue, which readily suggested blue to @ lively fancy, and completing the red, white and blue, so apropos of the occasion. This soon faded away gnd as the band con- cluded with the “Star Spangled Banner”— fitting close to the episode—a lovely rainbow spauned the dark clouds in the east. Reforms at the Washington Asylum.
