Interesting Meeting of the Horticaltural So- clety—Bad Fire tn the County. Corresponence of The Evening Star. Rocxviuxe, April 9, 1891. A very interesting meeting of the Horticul- tural Society of this coanty was held yesterday ai the residence of Mr. Albin Thomus near Ashton, which was attended by about sixty ladies and gentlemen of the society and a num- ber of invited guests. The display of flowers was good. considering the backwardness of the season. This society is composed principally of families residing in the eastern section of the county, who hold meetings on the first Tuesday in each mouth during the spring and summer at the homes of the different mem- bers, where all subjects connected with flori- culture and horticulture are discussed and the day spent pleasantly in sucial converse. In | September of each year a public exhibition of fruits and flowers is given at Sandy Spring, which is largely attended by the general public. Mr. Henry C. Hallowell, the well-known edu- cator of youth. hax been for a number of years president of the association.~ Since Monday last much excitement has pre- vailed in the neighborhood of Hunting Hill, about two miles west of this place, on accoun of the discovery that s colored man named Howard Haridy had been in the habit for some days of exposing his m to Foung girls of the vicinity while passing along the pubiic road on their way to school. On the above day one of the girls, aged about fifteen years, saw him and running home acquainted her family with the fact,and later in the day he was strested aud lodged in jail at this place. Yesterday he was brought out for a bearing before Justice Stonestreet, when he demané »da jury trial and was sent back for trial at the uext term of court im default of 2400 bail. At the hearing he was Wentifed as the guilty party by five of the young who previously seen him on the r it is considered lucky’ for him that he was quietly arrested and lodged in jail be- fore the community heard of the alleged in- decent behavior or he might have fared badly at the hands of the excited people. thelast meeting of the directors of the National Bank at this place it was determined to add a sa department to the institution, and, after the first of May next, to allow in- terest at 4 per cent on money deposited in that department. This arrangement is considered very desirable for this community, and especi- ally to persons of small income who desire to save the same. Two extensive fires have occurred in the county this week, the first being the large store house and contents belonging to Mr. Jauies Ganley at Boyd's Station, on the Metropolitan branch railroad, on Tuesday morning last. The store contained a large amount of general merchandise, which was all lost. The buildirg and store were partially insured. It is sup- posed that the fire driginuted from a defective ue. On Tuesday night the large barn and stables of Mr. Samuel Riggs, situated in the vicinity of Laytonsville, were burned, together with alarge amount of ‘machinery, implements and provender of different kinds’ ‘he horses and other stock in the building ut the time were saved from the flames. The buildings were | tially insured. The fire is supposed to have Been the work of an incendiary. In the orphans’ court yesterday the will of the late Rey. Orlando Hutton was admitted to probate and letters testamentary on the same re granted to Mra. Sidney C. Hutton as ex- ecutrix. The last will und testament of the late Sarah H. Clements was filed in the office of the register of wills. 8. A.M. a ee A Protest. To the Editor of The Evening Star. T noticed in the morning papers that among other patent exhibits tobe made during this | week is a “life-saving car invented by Joseph | Francis,” &c. If the life car is so labeled the label will state a falsehood, as shown by the | patent office records. The life car was the invention of Capt. Douglass Ottinger and Francis was simply one of the foremen at the time (1849) in the Novelty Iron Works of New York. The following ac of Congress will show what that body thought | t the very time of the invention: n act for the relief of Capt. Douglass Ot- tinger: “Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Con- grets assembled, That there be paid to Capt. ouglass Ottinger, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $10,000, in full compensation for ‘the use of | his invention of the life or surf car by the United States; and also to enable him further to test the practicability of adapting such car | to the rescuing of passengersand crews during violent gales at sea. “Approved February 14, 1859.” Page 559, vol. IT, statutes at large. ‘This act was based upon « report of the com- mittee of commerce (first session, Thirty-fifth Congress, report No. 403) by Hon. E. B. Wash- burn. This report, made May 14, 1858, said: The committee are satisfied that Capt. Ottin- ger is the original inventor of the life or surf car, and that he has devoted the same to the use of the United States, and that the govern- ment is now using them at fifty-two different sta- tious on the coast. The evidence before the com- mittee is conclusive as to tho great value of the invention of Capt. Ottinge: as a means of saving life. The present Secretary of the ‘Treasury, the Hon. Howell Cobb, in answer to & letter ‘from the committee, it has proved of incalculable value in the saving of uuman life,” and he mentions the case of the Wreck of the ship Ayrshire on the Jersey coast. As Capt. Ottinger, with a laudable public spirit, has for many years devoted his valuable invention to the use of the United States and has received no compensation there- for your committee deem his claim for some remuneration not unreavonable. They are prepared, therefore, to recommend the passage of ‘a bill granting him an amount not only as a remuneration for the use of his invention, but to enable him to make some further experiments to test its praticability in rescuing passengers and crews during violent gales at sea. The committee then “recommended the pas- sage of the bill * * * as a remuneration for the use of his invention,” &c. ‘The bill be- came a law and reads ve. Somewhere in 1851, while Capt. Ottinger was on the Pacific ocean, Mr. Francis making claims to the invention and asked the patent office fora patent for the “life car.” ‘To meet the estion judicially Capt. Ottinger, in 1858 or 1859, as assignor to Wil Todd, applied also for @ patent. The result was an’ interference trial before the commissioner of patents. ‘The following decision by the commissioner settled the matter on the evidence, once and for all, in favor of Ottinger, affirming incidentally Mr. Washburn’s report and the preceding act of Congress as to who was the “original inventor” of the life car: U. 8. Parext Orrice, August 8, 1860. Sir: In the matter of the interference be- tween the applications of Joseph Francis and Douglass Ottinger, assignor to William Todd, for letters patent for alleged improvements in | life boats Ihave to submit the following re- port: = * fully satisfied from the testimon the invention in question was origin: t that with Ottinger, and that was also the first in- ventor of the same. oF, Hexaey Batpwrx, Examiner.

The Secretary of the Interior has issued the following rule regarding cases confirmed by the act of March 3, 1891: Allex parte cases, or cases in which the United States is a party, in which the entries are confirmed by the act of March 3, 1891, will be disposed of on written motion without regard to their places on the docket. All other cases in which the entries are con- firmed by said act will be disposed of on motion when it appears that a copy of the motion has been served on the opposing counsel.

In the Circuit Court, Judge Montgomery, yesterday, in the case of Swart, assignee, against Luckett a verdict was given for plaintiff for $200 damages. This was a replevin case for a horse and wagon seized under an execution against the Swart Brothers, and the property was claimed by the assignee of the brothers (the plaintiff) wnder the assignment. Mr. W. K. Dubamel represented the plaintiff Messrs. Chureh and Stephenson the de nd the latter attucked the assignment ulent; that it was made to defraud certain itors and to protect others, &c. The court ‘ged the jury that i they $0 believed they should find for the defendant, but if otherwise for the plaintiff, and they were at liberty, if the evidence in their opinion warranted it, to find exemplary damages, and this they did in the amount of €200. ———— Mt. Vernon Lodge’s Anniversary. At the usual weekly session on Tuesday even- ing of Mt. Vernon Lodge, No. 1, Shield of | Honor, was celebrated the first anniversary of the institution of the lodge, which is the pioneer lodge of the order in the District of Columbia, After brief business session the lodge ad- journed to a bountifully spread table and the inder of the evening was given up to soclal enjoyment. Appropriate addresses were made by Messrs. John Brosnan, worthy master; 8. Sowerbutts, recording secretary; George | W. Taylor and M. F. Norris, and music was fur- nished by Messrs. Joseph Allen, M. Costello and others. ‘The report of the recording secre- tary showed that the lodge had nearly trebled its membership during the year and gave every indication of continuing its prosperous career. pki tates Columbian University Alumni Dinner. Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court will reply to a toast at the alumni dinner at the Arlington next Tuesday. His lectures at the Columbian University Law School have been very popular among the students this year, and the privilege of hearing one of his de- lightfal after-dinner specelies. will be appreci- ated by the alumni. Rev. Julius E. Grammer, D. D., of Baltimore, who is also well known and popular in Washington, will represent the col- jege alumni, and no doubt will recall many a story of the old college on 14th street and of the good old times of years ago. pene Ra A. T. Stewart's Unknown Heirs, The testimony taken before the commissioners in Ireland in the syit of Sarah Branogh against Wm. B. Smith, otherwise and better known as the suit of the Irish heirs of A. T. Stewart, to recover a large part of the Stewart estate, has arrived in New York city. The evidence, which is very voluminons, will be used on the trial of this suit, which is on the calendar to begin Ma; 1. If tome of the testimony which the Ir commissioners are said to have taken be true the trial will be one of surprises and sensations. ‘The main purport of the evidence gathered by the commission was to prove that Mr. Stewart had several close kinsmen living who were his legal heirs. This close kinship is said to ave been conclusively established. ——~eo—____ Judge Maddox Takes a Hand. Judge Maddox, who is trying the McKeo case in Rome, Ga., took a hand in the Frye-Waters- Dietz affair yesterday. Everybody expected sensational developments in the court yester- ¥, but the prompt action and firmness of Judge Maddox prevented any trouble what- ever. The judge made a long address, in which he declared that counsel have a right to reflect upon a witness regardless of sex on any point that may be warranted by the evidence. When he goes beyond that point he is in contempt of court and he is responsible to the court. “He threatened Mr. Dietz’s belligerently inclined champions with fine, imprisonment and the chain gang if they bring concealea weapons into court. A Richmond Agent’s Shortage. Lewis Booker of Richmond, Va., has beon agent for many years of the Hanewinckel oe tate, valued at several hundred thousand dol- lars. All the heirs had received their portion except Edward Hanewinckle, the youngest son, and he recently demanded a settlement. Mr. Booker was not able to give him all his share. What the shortage will amount to is not known, but it is said to be $100,000. Yesterday Mr. Hanewinchel instituted suit to attach Booker's roperty and to recover about $65,000. Mr. Booker, who stood high in the community, is ill, and'refused to be interviewed. pirat Daatoreiha rte, Proposed Consolidation of Coal Companies.

It was Mr. Barrett's intention in this ‘The Pope Preparing an Encyclical on Labor ‘and Socialism, ‘The preparations for the simultaneous dis- tribution of the fortheoming ‘papal encyclical ‘on labor and socialism are in progress. The document is being translated into all languages ‘and copies will be forwarded to the heads of dioceses throughout the world. The encyclical will be formally issued on the last day of April or the let of May. In its composition the pope has sought for information and guidance from Cardinal Man- ning of England, Cardinal Gibbons of the United States, Cardinal Moran of Australia, Archbishop Walsh of Ireland and Cardinal Lavigerie of Africa. On their reports of the industrial and social situation in their re- spective countries the conclusions of the en- cyclical are based. The first part is a historical review of the attitude of the church in the past toward workers. The second part will set forth th ions of the day, the prominence they have assumed and the uecos- sity the church isunder of dealing with them. ‘The third part will lay down the policy which the church adopts on these questions. The pope does not enter into detail, but confines himself to generalizations. In an elo- quent passage at the close he warmly exhorts the clergy to symathize cordially with all classes of workers. The question of the limita- tion of daily labor to certain hours is left to be settled by the communities where it arises, ac- cording to local needs and habits. AN ITALIAN PAPER'S CANARD. The publication in the Messagero of Rome yesterday, reproduced in the dispatches to Tur Stan, attracted much attention, as it was the first intimation that there had been any di- rect correspoudence between the President and the king. it is learned on positive authority that the Messagero was misinformed. ‘The king has received no dispatch from President Harri- son, the entire correspondence on the New Or- leans subject having been conducted between the state departments of the two countries. REFUSED To TOAST THE QUEEN. At dinner given on Tuesday evening by the Devon Congregational Union at Tavistock, De- vonshire, a sensation was caused by the presid- ing minister, the Rev. Mr. R. Davis, wio said that he could not propose the toast of “The een,” and that he would therefore call upon the Rev. Mr. Johnson to perform this task. Mr. Davis added that he (Afr. Johnson) might also toast the Prince of Wales and all the gam- blers if he chose to do so. Mr. Johnson conse- quently proposed tie toast of ‘The queen,” saying that her majesty had no more loyal sub- jects than the dissenters. ‘Thereupon ‘the as semblage, with the exception of the Rey. Mr. Davis and his wife, rose to their fect and sang the national anthem, “God Save the Queen.” ‘THE WILL OF PRINCE NAPOLEON. ill of the late Prince Napoleon is re- markably precise. In the directions for the obsequies the prince forbids the presence of his eldest son, Prince Victor, in three distinet passages. He asks that his remains be buried in St. Jerome Chapel, Church of the Invalides, Paris, ucar the tomb of ‘the first Napoleon, un“ less the government refuses perinission, in which case he desires that his body be entombed in # cave carved out of solid rock on the Lies Sangwinares in the gulf of Ajaccio, “where my grave may be wave-beaten in image of my stormy life.” He asky Prince Louis to read the correspondence that passed between his parents, and recites the deed of separation in which Princess Clotilde declared that Prince Jerome had separated from her on political grounds. Prince Napoleon upbraids Prince Victor as a rebel and totally ignores him in the disposal of his property. THE PERIL OF THE CZAR. On Tuesday morning while the arrival of the czar was being awaited at a review in St. Petersburg a man who refused to remove his overcoat,was arrested. In his possession were found a Smith & Wesson pistol and a bottle supposed to contain poison. It is suppoyed he intended to choot the czar, who would pass near him, aud poison himself at once. GEN. FOSTER AT THE ESCURIAL. Gen. J. W. Foster. who is at Madrid as the United States special envoy to conduct the negotiations between the United States and Spain for a commercial treaty, accompanied by the minister of foreign affairs, the Duke of Tetuan, yesterday visited ‘the celébratea monastery and palace of the Escurial, near the town of Escurial, thirty miles from Madrid. OXNEUAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Itis reported that James W. Quinton, chief commissioner, and all his soldiers, who were taken prisoners at the time of the attack upon the British residency at Manipur, havo been murdered. Robert Murray, for killing W. A. Rowe at Strathrie, Englind, last week, was yesterday sentenced to the penitentiary for seven years. ‘Vhe race for the city and suburban handicap, the great event of the Epsom spring meeting, was won by Colonel North’s tive-year-old horse Nunthorpe. ‘The czar has visited his sevére displeasure upon the Grand Duke Michael Michailviteb, his cousin, who was privately married in oppo- sition to the ezar's wishes. Inconsequence of the Russian massing of troops on the Galician and Silesian frontiers, the German government has decided to strengthen the custern frontier garrison: ‘The Empress Frederick of Germany, who, with her daughter Margaret, has been visiting England since she left Paris, started for Berlin yesterday.

Four years ago Stone married Lucy Barlow, a niece of Theron and Freeman Barnum, a belle in St. Louis so- ciety. They have lived more or less happily together until about two months ago. ‘Theiy home was with his parents. ‘Iwo months ago they separated, and Sunday's eventa developed the fact that she had taken steps to procure a divorce. She had their little girl and he wanted it. For two weeks he has been seen hanging about the neighborhood. Sunday afternoon Mrs. Barlow, her daughter, Mrs. Stone, and the little girl boarded a cable car at their home, | bound for a ride to Forest Park. They had gone only about one block when Stoné, who had evidently been lying in wait, boarded the car, threw the door open and before any one could realize what wax going on seized the child and sprang from the car. The two ladies screamed and there was a scené of wild excite- ment, but the father disappeared around a cor- ner. The police are ing for him, His brother says he left the city, and it is known he had made preparations to go to California. ‘The mother is prostrated with grief. ——<e-__—_ Found Dead in a Boiler, A special dispatch to Tux Sram from Rich- city hall this morning and George Touser al- most unconscious.

Pullman | —— SSS The Evening Star is the Oldest and most firmly estab- &)| lished newspaper published in the District of Columbia, having won the high position it holds in the confi- dence of the people of Washington by | forty years of faithful and unswerving devotion to their interests, without regard to any other influence or con | sideration whatsoever. Tue Star is the Largest paper Published in Washington, with a general equipment and printing facil- ities three-fold greater and better than those of any other Washington paper: and, having the full Day Reports of both the New York Associated Press and the United Press, supple- ;mented by an unequaled service of | Exclusive Special Dispatches from al. | prominent points in America and Europe, it prints more and fresher Telegraphic News than any other Washington paper can possibly sup ply, furnishing at the same time a greater amount and better quality of Local, Domestic and General Intelli- gence, and a larger quantity aad higher grade of Original and Selected Literary Miscellany than any papet in the District. Being delivered at the homes of | sum of ten cents per week, THE STAR |is much the Cheapest paper published in the District, quantity and quality of contents heing considered. Tue Star's circulation in the City of Washington is more than three times larger than that of any other newspaper, and the number of its readers mote than five times as many. It is therefore in that (or even greater) ium in the District. On this point there ie no ground for argument ot Note This Point. ‘Tue Srar gives the exact figures RRR BE 8G No other daily newspaper pub- “G4 OF lished in Washington dares-G4 (aaa subject itself to this decisive test. “G4
