Mr. Ebenezer Morrison, the well-known paper dealer. died yesterday afternoon at his residence, 917 I street, of pneumonia. He had been sick for some time, but a fatal termination was not expected. Mr. Morrison was at the head of « large wholesale paper house at the time of his death. He was born in Northfield, N. H., im 1832, where he spent his boyhood. He came to this city in 1863 and hag been engaged | im basiness here since that time. As he was without capital bis first start was in a very humble fashion and he was in the habit of de- livering goods to his customers in a wheel- barrow, which he trundled through the streets. By industry, close application to his calling and 2 combination of excellent business quali- ties he succeeded in building up an extensive business. He was a man of high integrity and the most scrupulous honesty, and during his Jong career in this city he won the respect and esteem of all who knew him. Of a retiring, modest disposition, his sterling qualities and lovable nature bound to him by the strong ties of affection a large earcle of friends. For years he has beena member of the board of trustees of the First Congregational Church, and his active interest in the affairs of the church as well ax his excellent business judg- ment has contributed very materially to the prosperity which the church enjoys. In church circles as well as in the wider circle of his busi- ness and personal acquaintance his death will be sincerely mourned. He lost his wife several years ago and his surviving family consists of a son and a danghter, who have the heartfelt sympathy ofall in thisafitiction which has come to them. ‘The funeral services will be held to- morrow afternoon at the First Congregational Chureh and the remains will be laid at rest at the side of his wife in Glenwood cemetery. ————— ‘The Iniquity of Gambling. The first of a series of Sunday evening ser- mons on topics of the day was delivered last evening by Rev. Dr. Stakely, the pastor of the First Baptist Church. His theme was ‘“Tranby Croft, or the Iniquity of Gambling.” The speaker said it was right that a protest should be made against the wickedness of those in high places. He spoke of the sin of gambling and its disastrous results. SoS ‘The Benning Camp Meeting.

On reports of the Fourth there were 161 arrests, 35 in the South Washington (fourth) precinct, 23 in the North Washington (eighth), 18in the West Washington (seventh), 17 exch in the second and third, 15each in fifth and sixth, 12m the first and8in the ninth. The sixth had 45 ontof the total of 75 for this morn- ing, most of them the product of the raids on the Chinaman last night. The reports of the second and ninth precincts were without A Child’s Miraculous Escape. A little child, the son of Mr. Charles Hamps- ton, the contractor, who lives on 15th street extended, near Kennesaw. had a miraculous escape from death Saturday evening in the Zoological Park. Mr. Hampston had driven to the park with his family. He left his horse hitched in the woods on the hill and the members of the family started off afoot, leaving the little boy playing about the carriage. In course of time the child climbed into the car- riage and began to play driver. Of course the little one could not’ resist the opportunity to usé the whip, and the horse, not used to such treatment, broke away and tore madly along the road leading down hill to the temporary bridge crossing the ereek. The little fellow clung to his seat. When the horse reached the bridge the carriage struck the railing and was upset with a suddenness that threw the boy twenty or twenty-five feetinto the creek. The carriage was wrecked and also fell into the creck. A park watchman stationed at the bridge plunged into the water and rescued the little boy, who was not seriously injured, hav- ing received only a drenching and a few bruises intlieted by some fragments of the car- riage that struck him. meget May Lose Both Eyes. About 9:30 o'clock last Saturday night » small colored boy named Howard Fauntleroy, residing at 1220 M street northwest, met with a most painful accident, which will probably re- sult in the loss of both eyes. He was shooting off fireworks in front of his house when a flower pot, which he thought had gone out. ex- ploded in his face. He was carried to Elliot's drug store and later removed to his home, where he was attended by Dr. Walter. The scene inside the house was a most pathetic one. The r little fellow 8 at times delirious and im his delirium his cries for help were agonizing. The poor old father and mother did all they could for the little unfortunate and kind neighbors lent all aid possible. Dr. Walter said be could not tell the extent of the injury, but thought he would lose the sight of both eyes. ——_ Burned by # Gasoline Stove.

AN ELOQUENT SERMON. In charge of the Presbyterian chureh on P street during the absence of its pastor, the Rev. Dr. Fullerton, is the Rev. Mr. R. F. Williams of Cecil county, Md. In years the acting pastor is scarcely more than a boy, but his interpreta- tions of the Holy Word show that on those young shoulders reste a head full of the most profound wisdom. Though ho has delivered wut a few sermons, they have been and interesting with something like impatience the Sundass to come round. His sermon yesterday was baxed on those words of our Saviour spoken to Peter in the Garden of Gethsemane, “Put up thy sword again in its place, for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword.” He vividly pictured the scene in the gar- den, of Christ. surrounded by all but of his apostles, the entry and betraying kiss of Judas, the rude laying on of hands by the Roman soldiers, the strike of Peter and then the words of the text: “Put Up ‘Thy Sword Again Into Its Peace.” “If any of you should ask me my beloved,” he said, “what were the grandest and most heroic words ever utted on earth I would not in your imagina- tion lead you to the Phiins of “Abraham and then remind you of the dying words of Woif, nor would I mention the great Nelson's his- toric words, but unhesitatingly say to you the gentle utterance of our Father in the Garden of Gethsemane.” Then followed many illus- trations depicting the growth of the Christian empire, not with the aid of soldiers and swords, but by the laying down of the lives of those saintly martyrs who thought more of a al world than they did of a temporal . Mr. Williams uses no notes and is a graceful and forcible speaker. OFFICERS INSTALLED. On last Friday evening J. P. C., I. K. Moore, installed the following officers in Potomac Council, No. 20, I. 0.

Rar Ee DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. COMPLAINT AGAINST THE JATL. PHYSICIAN. The Commissioners this morning received complaint against the physician at the jail. Arthur Cromwell writes that he has been suf- fering for some time with a severe toothache and was unable to eat his meals. He has asked the jail doctor to have it pulled and he has put it off from time to time and has not pulled it et. The writer urges the Commissioners to ve this attended to at once. CAN'T RETURN THE MONEY. In the ease of Charles E. Jackson, whose son was wrongfully arrested on suspicion of having fired a cannon and who requested the return of 5 left as collateral, the Commissioners have decided, in view of the opinion from the special assistant attorney for the District, that as the | money hasbeen turned over to’ the United States treasury it is beyond the control of both the court and the Commissioners, and could only be reached by claim upon’ thé United States treasury. PICNICS SAID TO BE A NUISANCE.

The Fourth of July here was ended by a ter- rible accident, which left the body of young lady excursionist at the bottom of the river, nearly crazed her relatives and friends and ex- cited the general commiseration of the com- munity. “Miss Ella Dove, with her escort, Mr. Stout, left her home in Fairfax county near is city on the morning of the Fourth of July to spend the day in pleasure seeking. They took the Leary for Colonial Beach and after a day of pleasant pastime and _an enjoyable ride up the river they disembarked with many others at the new Norfolk and Washington steamers’ wharf on the north side of Prince street dock. The wharf pier is not a wide one and has a store shed on it. Passengers from the steamers usually pass through the shed, but when the steamer Leary arrived the shed was closed and the only path ashore was by # way a few feet wide between the shed and the river. Along this way the crowd pressed. Miss Dove with the rest, but being too near the edge she lost her balance and fell into the dock. There is an electric light on Reed's wharf between King and Prince streets, but the shed was be- tween the light and the dock and threw its black shadows across, making the place ob- scure and dim. Mr. Stout, Miss Dove's escort, sprang after her, and on the ery for help the jeuddenness of the catastrophe induced con- fusion. Mr. Stout, who could not swim, was gotten ont of the water, but Miss Dove had disappeared beneath the water and her drowned remains are still there. imme- dinte efforts to recover the body were made wnd all night long and most all day yesterday the dragging continued. The boat of the District of Columbia, which has jurisdiction. on the river ofi the Alexandria wharves, assisted in the search. All the means known to river men for the recovery of drowned bodies were put into requisition and every place near the wharf dragged many times over, while the spaces near the wharf piles Were probed with rods, and the small cannon, ellie Grant,” was brought to the wharf and discharged eight times that the concussion might bring ‘the body to the surfuce. ‘The search for the body was in fact the event of the y and crowds gathered at the wharves watching the work. All so far has been without success. county court. The county court, Judge Chichester, opened its July term at the Columbus street court house this morning and will be engaged in business for the residue of the day. Alexan- dria county has its capital here, and some of the stores near the court house have recently had an accession of country custom. COME AND GoNE. The superintendent of schools returned here last night from a week's attendance at the State Superintendents’ Institute at Bedford City and left this evening for the Teachers’ In- stitute at Hampton.

Cross, indicted for the murder of his wife, Hattie Cross, by shooting on October 1, 1889, were promptly in their seats this morning, looking none the worse for having been confined over the Fourth of July and yesterday. The last argument in the case, that of District Attorney Cole, was at once entered upon by him, and he claimed that the evidence proved nothing more nor less than one of murder. eae ee oY A Four Year's Course in Switzerland, Ayoung Washington boy has evidently de- termined to perfect himself in his chosen pro- fession at whatever cost of labor.

The services at Campbell A. M. E. camp meeting yesterday were spirited and interesting. At11 o'clock J. M. Townsen of the gencral land office preached on “God's Requirements.”* The speaker had learned just before taking the stand of the killing of Rev. G. W. Alexander in Alabama, and was eloquent in denunciation of mas t 8 o'clock Bishop Wayman, D.D., spoke from the first Psalm. At the close of the doc= tor’s discourse Hon. Frederick Donglass came forward, grasped the speaker’shand and chatted for some time. Mr. Douglass then talked of the gencral condition of the Je, and among other things said that he had never been in favor of camp meetings, but if all could be like that he was addressing he would be a cam} meeting man. In order to have the sheep fol- low you must keep the salt close to their nose. Mr. “Donglase broke an engagement at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church in order to hear Bishop Wayman. At 0 o'clock Rev. French, the revivalist, con- ducted an experience meeting, and this was 80 enthusiastic that it conld not be controlled. Seven speakers had the tloor at one time. At night Bishop Wayman_preached a sermon to young men on “‘The Turning Point” The attendance was larger than ever and the free-will offering gratifying. Next Sunday fer. J. W. Becket, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, will conduct special song service and Dr.’ J.J. Handy of jashington will preach. ‘THE CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH. Anacostia’s celebration of the Fourth was Principally at night. At 7:90 p.m. Kit Carson Dram Corps, led by J. Mundell, marched into town with ite usual retinue. ‘They first ser- naded Thomas Geary & Son, who responded in @ way that was especially sfatitying to the dry and tired drummers, Toasts wore Bre posed, replied to and drank with vim. march was resumed up Monroe to Navy and thence along Nichole avenue to Phinney’s confectionery. Here Mr. Phinney, dressed in the uniform of a musician of the N. G. D. C., welcomed the strangers and they, followed b; the Anacostia Zouaves, filed.in. ’ While sand- wiches, fruits, sweets and liquids were being partakon of the National Guard Dram Corps marched up, followed by all that part of East Washington and Anacostia which had, been left behind by Kit Carson Corps. Mr. Phinney then formally welcomed the two bands and was re- plied to by Dram Major J. B. Robey and Cor- poral George Iuuskey on behalf of the National ard Drum Corps and by Leader J. Mundell and Wm. T. Frazier of Logan Camp, No. 2, Sons of Veterans, on bebalf of Kit Carson Post Corps. Mr. Phinney sounded all the calls, ex- cept lights out, on his bugle and the toast, “Our Host,”"was drunk with acclaim and cheers. Many songs were sung by the drummers and fifers. At 8 o'clock the procession formed on Nichols avenue. In front were the National Guard drummers and behind them the Ana- costia Base Ball Club, under Capt. Harry Kelly. Next in order were the Kit Carson boys and be- hind them were the Anacostia Zouaves, led by Capt. Bruce Allen and Lieut. Claud Allen. Mr. Phinney and a body of assistants lit the way with rockets, Roman candles and fire fountains, and the strects seemed carpeted with torpedoes and firecrackers. As Gray's store was passed a great display of fireworks was made. The base- ment of St. Teresa's Church was illuminated and Father Hughes swung out a twelve-foot silk flag and cut adrift a monster hot-air ballon. J. T. Harrison made the town blaze as the column struck Jackson street and Henry olson lit up his part of the town. Dr. Richard A. Pyles’ porches and lawn were thronged with ladies who set off rockets and colored fire and were saluted by the marchers as they passed. ‘The ladies on the lawn in front of the residence of Mr. J. W. Bartley were ulso saluted. Mr. Phinney’s was at length reached and here for an hour the corps; played patriotic airs. The entire procession’ were aiterward banqueted by Bugler Phinney. ‘At 10 o'clock the visitors started for home. THE MASONIC CELEBRATION. ‘The Masonic celebration of the Fourth oc- curred at Masonic Temple and must be ac- counted a success. The hall was decorated with patriotic bunting and oriental ianterns. The tables were presided over as follows: Re- freshments, Mre. Eliza P. Walson, with Mixses Carrie Golden and Lizzie Walson, Mrs. Dony and Mrs. Hinwood as assistants; fruita, Mra.

Rollins’ grove, on the Bowen road, close to the Maryland linc, was the scene Saturday of one of the most successful and orderly of col- cred picnics. Washington sent ont heavy con- tingents and the rural colored folks turned out strong. Dancing to the rythm of Herbert's orchestra was enjoyed. The Easy Heart Band of Stanton supplied the music. ‘The floor man- agers were J. R. Forrest and Mr. Bruce of South Washington. In theafternoon there was brick race between Mr. Hero of Garfield and Mr. Sharpe of Stanton. Hero won, but as the defeated contestant claimed to have loaded his hod in less time than did the successtul one he and his backers expressed some displeasure at the decision of the judges, who were Ned Win- field, Oscar Diggs, Lhos. Jones and Wm. Jor- don. Wm. Rollins was the leading spirit ‘and pramoter of the picnic. A HOTLY CONTESTED COCKING MAIN. The places of John Palmer at Piscataway, Birch at Forestville or Fox on the Berry farm were not more famous in days gone by for chicken fights and fighters than lichardson’s at Suitland is now. Saturday evening one of the hottest mains perhaps in the histors of Prince George's county was fought. Sports from all over the country, from Charles, from Anacostia and from Washington, were present. ‘The main was between A. B. Suit of Suitland and Hughes of Washington for $20 a battle and $100 the main, Philadelphia rules to govern. James Craven, u sporting celebrity, huddled the birds for Suitland and W. Jones of Parkers- burg for Hughes. Mr. Hayes of Washington actedasreferee. ‘The conditions were that each side should show eleven birds and fight all that weighed in. ‘The first battle was between a brown red for Suit anda black red for Hughes at five pounds twelve ounces. Suit's bird was killed bya brain blow after a twenty-second ht. arcs oboe fight Suitland pitted a dominic white against a Washington black red. After thirty minutes of game work Suitland won by the court. ‘The odds then stood ten to eight on Suitland. The third battle was between a Suitland brown red and a Washington black red, with one ounce against Suitland. Washington was killed in fourteen minutes and the odds rose twenty to twelve on Suitland. In the fonrth fight a Washington brown red was killed by the Suitland bird in six minutes after a fierce fight. In the fifth battle a Washington blue was the favorite aud was heavily backed, but was cut down in cighteen minutes. ‘The sixth fight was a victory for Suitland by the court. Suitland’s champion was outweighed in the seventh fight by an onnce and was killed after half an hour's tussle. The eighth battle re- sulted in victory for a Suitland gray over a Washington black in eight minutes, giving the main to Suitland by a score of six to two.
