This morning in the Police Court a colored Woman answering the name Maria Brown was charged with threatening the life of Mra. John- son of No. 507 13th street, at whose house she has been employedas a servant. Mrs. Johnson told of Maria's peculiar conduct and of her violent and threatening language. On one oc- casion, she said, Maria, threw a hot pan at her and at another time shestruck her on her arm. Maria was questioned by the court and it ap- vi that her delusion was that she was a wealthy property owner and among othér houses she claimed she owned the one in which Mra. Johuson, her employer, resides. When asked how she came to buy the house she said that she had €100,600, but that ber property | holder had charge of ‘her affairs and she did not care to talk about them in court. Her only delusion seemed to be that she owned property, and when any one did not believe what she told | them she became violent. The court eommit- ted her in order that she might be examined as to ber mental condition. Yesterday afternoon while the work of de- ‘molishing the Nailor stables and other build- ings on E between 133¢ and 14th streets (the site of the power house of the Washington and Georgetown railroad) a portion of a wall fell on John Hanlin. badly cutting and bruising him about the head and leg.

Last evening the Odd Fellows of the District, with their wives and daughters, turned out en masse to do honor to Past Grand Master and Representative Oliver Dufour. The occasion was the fiftieth anniversary of Mr. Dufour's in- itiation in a lodge of Odd Fellows. From 6:30 mntil 11 o'clock his residence, 2024 I street, was crowded with callers. Acommittee representing all the lodges and branches of the order in this District, of which Past Grand Master Colledge was chairman, Past Grand Randolph secretary, and Grand Representative Rev. Frederick A. Stier spokes- man, at7 o'clock presented Brother Dufour with an appropriate address, handsomely en- grossed and framed. The embiems of the va- rious branches of the order and a pen portrait of Mr. Dufour added to the effect of the work and madea beautiful testimonial. A floral piece composed of a crown, the three links, a sword and shepherd's crook, wrought of fi ersrepresenting the various colorsof the orler, was a beautiful tribute from Past Grand Master James A. Watt of Friendship Lodge, No. 12. A headrest (the handiwork of Mra’dohn Flem: ing), with the three links and F.L.T. in the center and on the reverse side the three pillars, with F.HLC., all embroidered in appropriate colors, fittingly representing the Dauzhicr: of Rebekah, subordinate lodge and encampment branches of the order, was presented on belialf of Mr. and Mrs. John Fleming. Letters and telegrams from members of the order from all parts of the country expressive of their love for and wishes for his continued health and happiness were read by Chairman Colledge, the most noteworthy of which were meseages from the Grand Lodge of Indiana, signed by all the officers; from Dufour Lodge of indiana, which was instituted by him when grand master in 1853: from Grand Secretary Ross of Columbus, Ohio; Past Grand Sire and Commander-in-chief of the Patriarchs Militant John C. Underwood and Past Grand Sire and and Secretary of Pennsylvania James B. Nicholson. Mr. Dufour was much affected by the reading of these testimonials of esteem. Mr. and Mrs. Dufour were assisted in receiving their guests by the members of his immediate nily, the Misses Dnfour of Louisians, Mr. Mr. and Mrs. Colledge, Mr. and’ Mrs. Fleming and Mr. Seiffert. Animposing feature of the reception was the arrival of avout fifty members of Grand Canton, No. 1, Patriarchs Militant, in full uniform ‘and headed by a band of music. ‘They made a street parade from the hall on 7th street and presented a fine appearance. Mr. Dufour is in his seventy- second yea and during the last fifty years has been an earnest and enthusiastic Odd Fellow. He has received all the honors that the order can bestow upon him except that of grand sire. He was grand master of the state of In- diana in 1851 and 1852 end in 1853 was elected to represent that state in the Grand Lodge of the United Stotes, where he was a collenguc of the late Vice President Colfax. Removing to Washington he became a member by card of Washington Lodge 6, and Columbian Encampment, No. 1, and has represented the Grand Encampment of this District since 1885. Owing to failing health he will not be a candi- date for re-election at the coming session in July. ; Mr. Dufour will leave for the south tonight fo spend a few months in hopes of regaining his health ina milder climate, and his many friends hope to see him return much improved. presi sieaa A New Musical Society. ‘The Schumann Musical Association was or- ganized last night at Metropolitan Baptist Chureh, with Dr. Geo.

Several days ago the Commissioners sub- mitted to the attorney for opinion the papers received by them relative to the dangerous rail- road crossing at Ivy City. ‘The assistant attor- ney, Mr. 8. T. ‘Thomas, rendered the opinion, in which he says: ‘Tue condition of the law is such in regard to your right to compel the railroad company to place a gate at this point that I deemed it advisable to confer with the attorneys of the company on the subject, the result of which was they advised their clients to erect the gate. Iam assured this crossing will be at once attended to.” ‘The Commissioners will wait a few days be- fore proceeding further. WILL NOT GRANT THE PERMIT. On April 22, 1890, Nicolai Bros. applied to the Commissioners to lay an iron pipe line un- dexground from the freight yard of the Balti- more and Potomac Railroad Company on South Capitol street acrosa I street southeast, into square 696, or from the freight yard along I street, South Capitol street,thence into K south- west, thence to Half atreet,into square 645. At resent there exists a pipe line belonging to the Vashington Gas Light Company parallel to this latier route. ‘The attorney for the District recommended that the Commissioners adhere to the opinion of ox-Attorney Riddle and re- fuse the permit. Subsequent to this the aenist- ant attorney for the District anid in an opinion that he knew of no law that would prevent the Commissioners from granting the permit, pro- vided the work was done under their direction. As there seemed to be a disagreement in the two opinions above referred to the Commis- sioners requested the attorney to advise them whether or not he desired to modify the opi ion. ‘The attorney says that his opinion of A\ gust 21, 1890, was intended to overrule any other opinion given on the subject.

Tae Cause Or Ruscaarien. An acid which exists in sour milk and cider. called lactic acid, is believed by physicians to be the cause of rheumatism. Accumulating in the blood, it attacks the fibrous tissues in the joints and vauses agonizing pains. What is needed is a remedy to neutralize the acid, and to so invigorate the kidneys and liver that all ‘waste will be carried off. Wecan honestly recommend Hood's Sarsaparilia for these purposes. It has cured others of rheumatism and it will cure you. WONDERFUL PROPERTIES. “Ihave taken Hood's Sarsaparilia and found it ex- celient for rheumatism and dyspepsia. I suffered for many long years, but my complete recovery is due to Hood's Sarsaparilla. Irecomiuend it to every one be- cause of its wonderful properties as a blood medicine.” SOHN KOLLMAN, 8 Chatham’ streets Cleveland, Ohio, INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM. “*I just want people to know that wethink Hood's Sarsaparilla the best remedy for inflammatory rhewmna- tism in the world. My husband had this terrible af- fection for two years, and Hood's Sarsaparilla helped ‘him more than anythingelse. I2m always giad to tell What Heod’s Sarsaparilla has done.".-MES. F.
