Given st the Columbia Athletic Club, on Saturday Evening. ‘The most interesting of the regular semi- monthly athletic exhibitions of the Columbia Athletic Club took place last Saturday night befere a large audience of club members and their friends. Distance jumping under the low bar opened the exercises. Messrs. Dashiell, Elder, Bar- nard, Seweil, Brickenstein, Tibbett and Cross- ley competed, Crossley winning at ten feet two inches. Jumping under low bar for height followed, with the same contestants. Prof. Crossley won this after a hard struggle, clearing five feet ten inches. Eugene Byrnes did a clever club swinging act, and the gym- nast class, composed of Messrs. Jones, Mul- drow, Sewell, Laferty, Tyler and Elder, with Prof. Crossley as leader, went through a diff- cult and entertaining act of forming pyramids. ‘This was the first public exhibition of the class and it reflected great credit on Prof. Crossley. A fencing tournament took np the next half | hour. The first bout was between Prof. Em- mons and Lieut. Pierce, the former winning by a score of 5 points to2.. The second bout, be- tween Lieut. Fletcher and Mr. MeCard, was won by Lient. Fletcher after a spirited contest. Prof. Emmons and Lieut. Fletcher then crossed swords for the final bout: and, after a very ex- citing contest, Prot. Emmons won, the score being 5 to 4 ‘The brother gymnastic ex- hibition ‘of. Crowley and Elder was a finished piece of work. Dr. Shaffirt and Mr. Mitchell then contested for su- premacy at wrestling in Graeco-Roman style, ‘the latter winning ona foul. Then came the feature of, the evening— the trapeze perform- ance of Messrs. Dashiell and Se ‘These gentlemen went through the difficult gyrations on the flying trapeze with the skill of old-time ¢irena performers and received an ovation. ‘The batteau board exercises followed and sav- ored of the circus, where all the acrobate in the last act turn somersaults over elephants. The club couldn't furnish the elephants, but a fence curtain answered the purpoye just as well. Secretary Perry then announced the sparring bouts and his remarks were received with ap- plause. The first bout was between Elder and Green. Mr. Sweet of the New Jersey Athletic Club was selected referee and Messrs. Ranier and Carter judges. Mr. J. E. Jones looked after Elder and H. M. Dickinson did the honors for Green. Will Hibbs held the watch. ‘The exhibition was spirited from the start and after three rounds full of ginger Elder was ‘awarded the match by the referee, the judges failing to agree. The heavy-weight spurring followed and closed the exhibition. Mewsrs. Dickinson and Irwin were introduced as the combatants. Owing to the sickness of Irwin the bout was a tame affair. The next exhibition will take place in two weeks and promises to eclipse all crs. —_—. SATURDAY NIGHT'S STORM. Considerable Damage Done to the Tele- graph Wires—Down in All Directions. Had the storm which drenched and then nearly froze this city Saturday afternoon and night not been in such a hurry Gen. Greely's prediction of a rainy Sunday, which Le made to a Stan reporter Saturday morning, would have been accurate. But the trouble was it didn’t Jast long enough, and, as is usual in such | storms, it compressed within the few hours of its endurance here an amount of fury and vio- lence that would have done credit to the wind god had it been spread out over three days. The changes of temperature and the inercase and decrease of the velocity of the wind were sufficiently rapid and marked to take every- body by surprise, and when the sun rose sanil- ingly yesterday morning after one of the worst nights of the season surprise and gratification took the places of sleet and blizzard zephyrs. CONSIDERAELE DAMAGE DONF. ‘The damage done was considerable, in view of the short duration of the storm. A large number of local wires were blown down, being burdened with thesoggy snow, and it was found ag soon ax matters cleared # little that a great man of the outside wires had also fallen. All yesterday the communication north was inter- rupted at Baltimore, but by the evening the breaks had been so far repaired that by using the Cincinnati route New York and the rest of | the north could be reached. ‘The signal service had very few reports except from the south, the wires being all right in that direction. report was received here yesterday that over a thousand had fallen between this city and Grafton, ‘The Michigan Reception. The reception ‘and supper of the Michiganders this evening at the National Hotel promises to be an event which will bring together the rep- resentative people of that state and will be one of much enjoyment. Among those expected to reply to toasts ure Justice Brown, recently ap- Paap to the supreme bench, Senators Stock- ridge and McMillan, and most if not all the representatives. J ——»—— A Keg of Gin Stolen. Saturday night during the storm a keg of gin ‘was stolen from in front of Halpin’s store, on | $d street, by several men, who rolled it toa vacant lot and knocked the head ont of it with &stone. When the poliee were notified of the theft they went out und arrested every man they found under the int on whom they suspected would do anything wrong, but they did not succeed in capturing the thieves. po eS ‘The Fish Market. ‘The arrivals at the river front last week were 3.819 bunches of fish, 136 carp, 40 herring, 5 black bass and 11,400 bushels of oysters. ——— ‘The Industrial Conference Closed. The conference of delegates to the new con- federation of industrial organizations closed its sessions late Saturday afternoon. The con- ference was in every way successful and is ex- pected to be fruitful of great results. It. A. Humphries of Texas was elected vice presi- dent of the confederation and a general execu- tive board, which is to bave full powers when the confederation is uot in session, was selected, consisting of Dr. C. W. Macune of the Farm- ers’ Alliance, T. V. Powderly of the Knights of Labor. K. A! Humphries of the Colored Farm- ers’ Alliauce and Ralph Beaumont of the National Citizens’ Alliance. The board was in- structed to invite all labor organizations of the {country to send delegates to the next meeting of the confederation in February, 1892. President Terrill left for Omaha last night to confer with the National Alliance of the north- west on matters of importance to the organi- gation. ee A Deed of Adoption. | An agreement. dated January 9, by Charles Knoble and Clara E.

At 736 10th street northwest in a frame tene- ment house of not very pretentioas appearance cuting lives a colored family, the members of which, representing three generations, are today mourning the death of Mrs. Charlotte Scott, » colored woman, whose name stone time was doubtless the lips of every man and woman in the United States and is now read by the thousands who annuaily visit the Lincoln statue in Lincoln Park. Inscribed one of the bronze resting upon ‘base is the following: Freedom's Memorial. Ia ful memory of Avraham Lincola. ‘This monument was erected By the Western Sanitary Commission Of St. Louis, Mo., With funds contributed solely by Emancipated citizens of the United States Declared free by his Proelamation January 1, A. D. 1863. ‘The first contribution of five dollars was made by Charlotte Scott, a freed woman of Virginia, being her first earnings py nreedom tnd consecrated her suggesstion and request On tke day she heard of President Lincoln's death to build a monument to his memory. ‘The woman whose name is thus honored Saturday night, the 24th instant, at her home, Reusers, a little railroad station about four miles from Lynchburg, in the one hundred aud ninth year of her age. As stated in the inserip- tion, she was the first to contribute to the erec- tion of a monument to Abraham Lincoln and at that time lived in Marietta, Ohio. It is said that when she heard of the assassination of the President she exclaimed: ‘Lord, have merey— and Massa Lincoln is killed! . He ought to have amonument and Lam going to give the lust ceut Lhave for it,” and iramediately contrib- uted—perhaps through Prof. J. M. Langston, who was living in Marictta at the time and knew her itimately—tl um of $5. The “St. Louis commission,” as it is known, was soon after- ward formed and, taking this $5_ as « nuclens, collected the fund for the erection of the ta mous emancipation group that now adorns Lin- coln Park. THE UNVEILING OF THE STATUE took place April 14, 1876, and in order to honor the name and person who had made the first contribution, Mrs. Scott, through the instra- mentality of Prof. J. M. Langwton, who by au- thority of Congress was chairman of thecom- mittee, and Frederick Douglass, who was orator of the day, was brought on and given a promi- nent place in the procession and exercises. Her picture was taken and many thousands of them sold, from which a large revenue was de- rived and which was Gaver v0 paving for the monument. While here she was the recipient of many attentions and met all the leading pro- moters of the scheme and many of the promi- nent men of the day A SKETCH OF HER LIFE. Charlotte Scott was born a slave on what is still known as the Scott plantation, near Lynch- burg, and took and retained the name of her owners. Some years before the war she went to Marietta, Olio, as the maid of Mrs. Dr. Rucker, nee Margaret Seott, and there was set free some two years prior to the emancipa- tion proclamation of President Lincoln, Jan- uary 1, 163. Notwithstanding her freedom she returned to her old friends on the farm of her nativity shortly after the cessation of hos- tilities, and from the “old folks” readily ob- tained four acres of land, upon whi built a modest but comfortable home, order, as she said, to be near “her chij} 4s she called the members of the Scott fs day of her death. Her confidence folks” never flagged and it was not mis] In this city hives her da Brice; her granddaughter, son Lewis, and ber great gr: Anderson, all at 736 10th street hwest. Brice left last evening for Lynchburg, t to Reusens to attend the funeral and burial ceremonies, which will take place tomorrow or Wednesday. Mrs. Scott had twelve children, six sons, all of whom are dead, and six daughters, some of whom are well known among their race.

SEE TD REVENUE AND POPULATION. All Free-Delivery Post Offices to Be Classified on That Basis. The conference recently held in this city by the superintendents of the free delivery service froma number of the principal cities of the country has resulted in action upon a number of recommendations and sug- gestions which Maj. Pollock, the gen- eral superintendent. bronght before the conference for consideration. An important matter, which the conference discussed, was the classification of the service upon some- | what the same principle as the present classifi- cation of post offices. It was declded to recom- mend that all free delivery offices, be placed in classes based upon revenue and population, “In regard to whether the cight- jour law had imy or impaired the rer- vice, it was the unafjimous opinion of the con- that underfits operation the service en improved by reason of the fact that in large cities a sufficient force of carriers were allowe ply with the law, thereby increasing its efficiency, but in tdese cities were additional carriers were not allowed to comply its requirements the service has been impaired. The conference was of the opinion that the plan of working cight hours of service consecutively is not practicable. It was thought that as it was impossible to extab- lish a uniform range of hours, that it would be for the good of the se1 tofixa maximum of not more then fourtcen hovrs. The conference recommended the establixh- ment at Detroit, Mich., of a marine carrier service, which will be only service of the kind in the world. ‘The, purpose ix to deliver mail to versels i wt poins in transi the Mb will take carrii to imtercept the steamers as is now done by private enterprise. e conference further favored ti pneumatic tubes in the large cities connecting the general post office with its branches, ‘These recommendations will be submitted to Postmaster General Wannamaker for his ap- Fo i — Geo.

Mr. Bancroft subsequently xent a check of $50.8 an expression of his in- dorsement of the institution and accompanied it with the following letter, which will have always a peculiar value to all friends of the university: 1623 H street northwest, Washington, D.C, April 14, 1990.—My Dear Bishop: I'thank you for giving me an opportunity of showing how highly I esteem the importance of the great de- | sign upon which you have entered of establish- ing a university in the capital of our country to be thoroughly complete in every branch of science and human learning.

G. Glick, who was arrested some days ago on a charge of but the important witness, Harry Smith of Richmond, had returned home after ap} pearing tablets | before the grand jury. He desired to say that he did not know why Mr. Smith had appesred before the grand jury and departed, as he (Mr. Mullowney) certainly intended to give the de- fendant a preliminary hearing. Detective Raff, who made the arrest, said that the witness was summoned by a United ‘States marshal by direction of the at torney and he appeared before that body as Ste wor tor fhe. deteodart a pater letzger for endant argue: a further postponement because the care had been set peremptorily for Saturday and the government was not ready. ‘Mr. Mullowney stated that the grand Jury had investigated the case and it was within knowledge that a presentment had been found. ‘The indictment, he said, would be reported this morning. ‘Judge Miller spoke of the prisoner's rights in the matter, and said he could not j:ke into ac- count what the grand jury had done. ‘The de- fendant was thereupon released. Before he could get out of the court room, however, he was brought back and the case was tried. Mr. Geo. N. Rider, in whose employ Glick had been, was called, and he gave e: concerning Glick's employment by him as agent in Richmond for Appleton Co. He said that Lawyer Clark had paid him $68 on Glick’s acconnt. Lawyer Clark was called, but he was not compelled to testify, as ho’ had acted in the nature of counsel. He, however, said that bo had paid Rider the $63 as settling the account between Glick and Rider.

Robert Ambush is a colored additional pri- vate of the metropolitan police force and is among those watchmen known as special police- men. As such he is under the same oath as the regular officers and is probably of the oprnion that he has the same right to carry a pistol. Saturday night he was arrested at’ Sullivan's store, corner of 28th and O streets, with an un- loaded revolver in his pocket. Disorderly con- duet and concealed weapons were the chai against him. ‘The storekeeper said’ that Am- | bush was intoxicated and had to be pitt out of | the place, but Ambush denied this sand?exe plained that his arrest was made because Salié> . | Yan sold whisky and was afraid that he would | get into trouble about it.
