Yesterday commenced very dismally and every one expected another dreary, rainy day, but before noon the clouds broke and the afternoon was delightful and » great many people came out to the grounds. The concert was well patronized and every selection en- thusiastically encored. Miss Gertrude Raven- burg of Georgetown rendered several selec tions on the piano, the first = concerto by Eecthoven. Ina few weeks she will make ber ebut with the Georgetown orchestra.

The burglars who were found in Graves’ grocery store yesterday morning, as published in yesterday's Stan, are thought to be the same who attempted to rob the sufe in the office amuel Emery in Washington a few nights raves’ store was a small one, ald have been picked up and carried yy the burglars. Before being discovered by the officers they had succeeded in Resetting the knob from the safe door and had drille holes both in the front and top of the safe, and they had euough dynamite w:th them to blow up fully oue-half of the town. When Detectives Raff and Horne came here yesterday and made a thorough search of the premises they found additional burglars’ tools, including drills, a wrench, chisel, sledge ham- mer and a quantity of dynamite. ‘The battle between the burglars and the oflicers was a fierce one, and it is a miracle that uo one was killed, as there were something like from tweuty to thirty shots fired. As stated in yesterday's account one bullet went through Oticer Price's aleeve and the powder scorched face. Itis now thoxght that a bullet took effect in one of the burglars, as a man answering the de- scription of the tallest member of the gang was seen in company with another man soon after the pistol shots Were exchanged. He was stag- gering and appeared to be in pain. sy were going in the direction cf the Virginia Midland depot, and the smaller of the two remarked to the apparently wounded one: “if you keep hanging about like this you will get in the station house.” Itis now thought likely that the men escaped ona freight train, aithough it is stated that a twas cut loose from the river front and taken away. ‘The Washington officers visited Clark, the burglar who was captured, but he would sa: nothing about himself. The officers are we! satisfied that his name ix not Clark, and they are also of the opinion that the man has been a burglar fora long time. He is about thirty-three years old and is roughly dressed, preventing the appearance of anun who has’ beer tramping through the country. He has hole through his hat that was dently made by a bullet from one of the officers’ pistols. ALEXANDRIA'S CANAL INTERESTS. It is understood that as soon asthe Chesa- peake and Ohio canal is again open far naviga- tion arrangements will be made for reopening the business of shipping coal here. As Col. Hains has reported that it is impossible, with- out constant dredging, to keep sand bars out of the Potomac river channel above the Long bridge, it is believed here that coal shippers will need a location for one or two depots at least, where there is no danger of large vessels being blocked in by a bar thrown bya flood across the channel. ‘The useof tugs on the river now serves the purpose of the abandoned Alexandria canal and aqueduct, which were designed when steam towage was unknown, and the only way of getting here from the old Potomac com- y's locks above Georgetown was by polling im the inner channel. ‘The city has a flue wharf for coal and there are many depots on deep water to be gotten at low rates along the river front of this city. TEE FUNERAL OF GEORGE 8. suITH. Arrangements have been made for the funeral of George S. Smith, killed by Jeff Phillips, to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock. Potomac Lodge of Odd Feliows, with whom a number of mem- bers of that order will unite, will atiend ihe funeral, and a large delegation of Elks from Washington is expected to unite in the solemn- ties. All the suggestions about the likelihood of lynching Phillips are suggestions of heated fancy. Alesundria hasan entirely law-abiding community and in a centary or more of its ex- isieuce no lynching has ever occurred here. piss techy GEORGETOWN. AGAINST THE PROPOSED BRIDGE. If that suggestion of Mr. Danenhower's, to construct a temporary bridge across the Poto- mac near Analostan Island, were ever acted upon the peoplo of Georgetown would be up in arms and the courts would be appealed to, as they claim that it would cut off entirel what little river trade they now possess. ‘all the incouventences that visitors to Arlingtos are now put to could be easily overcome, they sry. by the extension of the cable rou to the Aqueduct bridge, and, as is already proposed, the construction of a railrodd from the southern end of this bridge to that much-visited spot. BARE BALL. The reorganized Hoys met the Falls Church team on Thursdey afternoon near the southern end of the aqueduct and defeated them by = score of 6to4. The was @ very exciting | one and alarge crowd witnessed it. ‘The fea- | tures were the battery work of Hanlon and Chamberlain and the splendid catch of Smith of the Hoya.

Precinct Detective Burrous yesterday arrested Annie Long, a colored servaut, for robbing her employers’ house. She took such articles as silk squares for a quilt, sillk lace and fifty of silk. Annie's statement before Judge Miller today was thut sie got the articles from soe rags that her husband bought. Judge Miller said it was singular that the articles in were rags purchased by her husband and they came from the house where she is em: Sho was given two months, ores.

Margaret Wilson's husband sat in the Police Court today and saw his wife and an old soldier named Robert Gessler, an inmate of Soldiers’ Home, stand side by side and be triod for engaging in immoral practices. They were arrested in Eckington yesterday for conduct that attracted the attention of per- sons passing on the electric cars and others who were out for @ pleasant walk. Both the man and woman were intoxicated and they hada bottle of liquor. After hearing the testimony the judge re- ferred to the law, which inflicts a penalty of $100 on a female'and only €5 ona man. Lawyer Ricks, for the defendant, asked if the court ‘was going to convict the woman and separate her and her husband and break up = family. ‘The judge said he would break up this dis- graceful conduct even if he broke up 40,000 families. “Tho government,” the judge said, “‘has pro- vided one of the loveliest homes in the country for the soldiers and still they will hang about the woods with women. There is no use in having such beantifal grounds where ladies and children can go for recreation if such conduct | ts this i to be permitted. ‘The wives and obil- dren are entitled to go to the parks und country places during the warm weather without seeing any of these sights, and this court is going to give them all the protection in its power.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In the event that the Grand Army of the Re- public should hoid its encampment here next year it seems almost necessary that there should. be a bridge «panning the river to Arlington to make the route direct and of little cost to the vast number of ex-soldiers, officers and civil- who will desire to visit Arlington on that And as the United States govern- ent has delayed constructing thix bridge, I aggest that each Grand Army man in Wash- ington contribute $1 und allow ali citizens to contribute what they choose to the erection of bridge; that the commanders of the sev- nd Army posts of the District of Co- lumbia take charge of the matter, call a meet- ing, formulate a plan of action ‘and appoint persons to receive contributions, and I believe that in a few weeks the necessary amount of ¥30,000 will be raised to build said bridge. ‘To forward this necessary work 1 will give ¢100.

Seven Hundred Feet ht Up to Escapes Pursuing Flood. From the Butte Inter-Mountain. ‘The storia last night came near coating the lives of twelve miners who were working in the bottom of the Moulton shaft. They comprised the night shift, and were busy at the time sink- ing the shaft, being down 820 fect. A short tance to the east of the hoist a dam had been constructed to form a reservoir, from which water was taken for the boilers. This dam was strong enough to withstand any ordi- nary pressure, but was not intended for such « ood as that which came last night. At 10 o'clock a lake had been formed such as ahd never before been ‘seen there, and at 10:20 it swept away the dam asif it had been made of straw. The flood swept over the mine, breaking in on the 300 and running down that to the shaft. It began to pour down the shaft ina perfect torrent, almost overwhelming the men who were ut work in the sump. ‘They at once reulized that something was wrong and that the chances for their uscape were decidedly slim. There was no time for waiting and de- liberation. Only one thing was left for them to do, and that was to climb to the 700, aud this they at once proceeded to do. Tt was a perilous task climbing up the shaft, with a flood of water pouring upon them from 2 distance of 500 feet, and iu order to make it the meu were obliged to throw off ail their rubber clothing a» they climbed. They also kept a fast hoid on tue bell cord, aud thus gave the engineer warning that voniething was wrong below. Fortunately A. Gillis was in charge of the eugiue, and he was cool enough not to drop the cage, waiting to hear something in ths way of adefinite sigual. Had he lowered the cage it must ha: ept every mun back into the sump, and would have cut off their last chunce of eqcape. All credit is due Mr. Gillis for the coolness he displayed in this try- time. ME nally, about half the men réached the 700, and, after waiting a few minutes for the spools | at that point, were hoisted out. They went up fully convinced that the others had been Jost in that long climb or had been unablo to get started unti! too late. They were an anx- ious crowd while waiting around that shaft, until in a short time, that seemed ages to thom, the bell announced the joyful intelli- some at ienst of boys had the 700 in safety. The cage was low- season of mutual congratulations upon their ral cacape wl certain death followed. witnesses had given testimony. ‘The case was finally disposed of by fining the man $6 or fifteon days, the maximum penalty, and the woman was fined $100 or five days. Gessler paid his fine. es POLITICS AND GOOD ADMINISTRATION. ‘The President's Reply to a Protest Against Dr. Hammett’s Appointment. Movers, Philip N. Dwyer and C. H. Parker of the South Washington Republican Asvociation have made public » letter they recently ad- dressed tc the President protesting on political grounds against the appointment of Dr. C. M. Hammott as health officer of the District and the President's reply. Messrs. Dwyer and Parker visited the Commissioners’ office and examined Dr. Hammett's indursements after it was first announced that he had been chosen for the office, but it is stated held back their material when Dr. Reyburn'’s appointment was announced. After the Commissioners reaffirmed their first action appointing Dr. | Hammett, they, under date of July 16, “wrote to the President. After reciting the circum- stances attending Dr. Hammett’s appointnient and the action of the Commissioners in reap- pointing Dr. Hammett “in ice,” they say. “of ‘4 strong protest from many republicans,” they allege that Commissioner Douglass has on se eral occasions stated that politics did not en- ter into consideration when Disirict ottices were to be tilled. To show, they say. that Dr. Hammett thought differently during Mr. Cleveland # administra- tion they quote trom a few letters filed with Dr. Hammett's application. ‘There ure letters trom democratic members of Congress urging Dr. Hammett’s appointment because he was @ demoe: ‘They close their letter as follows: republican party so degenerated that it find one of ite members competent to fili the position of heaith otticer of this District and is forced to enter its enemy s camp and request | ausistance in running the government? It is in insult te the republican party at large. Men Lonestly fight that the party may se the reins of the governmeni, that it ma Tun on republican principles, only to see the opposite side placed in power. It is a physical impomibility for any one to be ygoou demo- cratand a good republican at the sume time, ‘and as Dr. Hammett bas proclaimed that he isa democrat of the old school it would be foolish to expect him to consider the success of the republican purty in performing the dutios of ice. ff the reason given and the above letters | were good medicine during Cleveland's admin- istration I think they should hold good now and believe in republicans for positions under Your administration.

The party will not be sup- ported if such appointments ure ullowed to standand with such men as Mr. Douglass in the position he now holds. The graud. finale to the whole business should be the decapita- tion of Commissioner Douglass and the. Poluting of '@ republican president of tue joard of Commissiouers and a republicaa health eftiver.” THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY. The President's reply, dated at Cape May Point, July 20, said: “I have your letter of the 16th. I cannot, of course, discuss the situation in connection with the health ofiice of the Dis- trict. Ihave tried to uct upon the principle that where appointments were lodgea by the law with boards or persons to leave them there without interference. holding the appointing wer responsible for good administration. ‘hen I return to Washington I will be glad to hear any facts that may be presented to’ me connection with this or any other District m: ter, and if # cuse calling for action by me is made I will take it up.’ Released on His Personal Recognizances. In the Criminal Court this morning Judge Bradley's attention was called to the case of Abraham Coleman, charged with violating the gaming laws by spreading 4 sweat cloth on the Long bridge, and Mr. Taylor asked that he be released on his pereor bonds. Mr. Taylor said he could not have a trixl before October and in the meantime bemg unable to give bail would have to remain in jail unless the court acted. ‘Mr. Clagett opposed the motior ‘The court granted the motion, saying he could use a diferent kind of sweat cloth in wiping his brow.

There is soon. to be a case taken into the Police Court in order to get a decision as to whether the poor old men who go about the streets with abag over their shoulder, purchasing rage, bones and old iron are liable under the license act. ‘The more prosperous of the dealers in old material have been paying an annual tex, and now it is the intention to see if the other class of dealers will not have to pay the same tax. Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court Mr. Samuel C. Raub, a dealer in old bottles, was tried on a charge of being an unlicensed junk dealer. The jury returned a verdict of guilty about 8:30 o'clock and the court imposed 4 fine of 3, in addition to the license tax of $40. The Watch Club Case To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will you kindly state what was the decision of Judge Miller in regard to the “alleged watch lottery?” Has he decided whether it is a lottery or not, aud if Mr. Pierce is allowed to continue his business? [Judge Miller held the defendantsin the watch club case guilty of violating the Inw and stated that if they continue the business they will do so at their own risk. Sentence was suspended, as all the government wanted was a decision.—Ep. Sau] es He Started to Beat the Record. After spending some days in the work house, where his mental condition could be inquired into, George Ellis, a young colored man, was brought before Judge Miller today in order that some steps might be taken by which he could be sent to the asylum, but the only chargeageins: him was vugrancy and Judge Miller was powerless in the matter. ‘The 4 WOMAN'S PRISON. Girls Can Now Be Sent to Indianapolis In- stead of Albany. ‘The case of Louisa Mitchell, the colored girl who on Saturday last plead guilty to a charge of larceny and was sentenced to eighteen months, was called to the attention of Judge Bradley by Attorney General Miller. The latter stated that his attention had been called to the case. In view of her youth he did not think that the penitentiary was the proper place for her and he bad corresponded with the superintendent of the reform School for girls and woman's prison in Indianapolis, Ind., as to her confine- ment there. Ho therefore asked the court to change the sentence so as to read to that prison. Judge Bradley said that he had remarked at ata girls’ reformatory was anecessity t, and he hoped it would not be long before there was such an institution here. Attorney General Miller said that two trus- tees of such an institution had been appointed in embryo, and he hoped it wouid materialize. In the meantime he would in this caso change the sentence to the woman's reformatory. General Miller said that he woud arrange with that reformatory and give gencral author- ity to the court to sentence such cases to that institution. a OS WASHINGTON IN 1892, Maryland's Delegation Solid—The Citizens’ Committee.

The steam launch of the man-of-war was blown up in the harbor of Arica by the Chilian torpedo boat Condell and every man on board killed. Tho list of dead includes 0. C. Smith, New York; ‘Wm. Hayes, Brookiyn; Frank Peckham, Newark, N. J.; ‘Teddy O'Rourke, Huntington, L.L; Arthur E. Dickman, Pearsalls, L.L. The accident occurred on the evening of June 1, Tho Condell, one of Balmaceda’s cruisers, stole into the harbor of Arica «bout 7 pam. There was heavy fog and objects at a istance of 100 yards could not be discerned with any distinctness, ‘The steam launch had left the Pensacola fora trip to the shore, and was making her way slowiy when suddenly those on the man-of-war saw the little boat lifted completely out of the water. There was the dull echo of @ half smothered explosion, and then wreckage was scattored in overy dit Not a sound of a human voice was niet that followed told plainly that the men al killed or so maimed as to be unable to make their condition known. The search light of the Pensacola was brought | into play, and at the same instant orders were given tolower the boats. By the fiath of the scarch light the Condell was discovered only a short distance away. The Chilian cruiser liad mistaken the launch for an ineurgent boat and had used a torpedo with terrible effect. There Was intense excitement on board both vessels Shen the situation of affairs became known. The commander of the Condell dipped his colors and sent his chief officer aboard the Pensacola. It then became known that the e: plosion of the torpedo was a stupid blunder on the part of the cruiser. Sucl apologies as could be offered were made, but the fecling among the comrades of the ‘dead sailors was ry bitter. The bodies were not recovered. The Pensacola proceeded to Iquique and on June 9 was again exposed to great danger. Balmaceda’s cruisers, the Lynch and the Con- dell, pursued the insurgent vessel Acone and wonid huve captured her had not the meralda hove in sight. She finally put the gov- ernment vessels to flight, but the engagement was hot while it lasted. Shot and alu were flying everywhere.

At the Brooklyn navy yard the officers sta- tioned there say they have had advices from Admiral McCann, who commands the fleet now in Chilian waters, dated as late as July 6. The admiral made no mention of an accident to the Vensacoia's launch and the officers incline to the opinion that there is no truth in the story. An attempt was made to locate the relatives of the men mentioned as belonging in the vicinity of New York. Only those of Dick- man could be found. They say he left home about a year ago and they did not know of his whereabouts until» month ago, when a letter was received from him in whicit he said he was in Brazii and doing well. He did not mention the fact that he was in the American navy. ————_<e2o —__ TO REACH YOUNG BLOOD, Mr, Clarkson Favor of = Campaign of Eaucation. A Washington special to the Philadelphia Press says: Vice Chairman Clarkson of the republican national committee was in Washington today en route to Fortress Monroe. After a day or two there be will return to the headquarters of the National leaguo of republican clubs in New York. Mr. Clarkson is full of enthusiasm as to the work of the republican clubs in the next presidential cainpaign, “We shall prove,” he said, “that the time in this country for presidential politics only once ina period of four years has passed. Senator Quay remarked in an interview last week that the coming presidential campaign is to be an educational one. Seuator Quay was right.

I can tell you nothing new about that. If he retires, it will be against the unaniinous protest of ‘his col- leagues on the republican national committee. have already stated in New York, those of his associates wlio know him best entertain for him the highest respect and warmest affection. Undoubtedly objection will be made, as Col. Dudley says, to Chairman Quay's tion.

They will doubtiess do that again if they can per- suade Quay to their own mode of thinking.” +e. —____ A Tale Rival ® Dime Novel. A Gninesvilie, Fla., special says: The wildest and most improbable dime novel seems to be outdone and rendered tame beside the exploits of the negro outlaw and murderer, Murray. He is now appearing in the new role of high- wayman. This morning a message came in from Wacaheekie, in the southern part of the county, to the effect that the sheriff was wanted there to arrest Murray, who was terrorizing the whole country. He had gone to the house of a man named éicKinne in that region, called him out of the house and shot at him, teiling him that he had been hunting him (Murray) aud he must die. Mr. McKinne, who was not hit, returned the fire, but Murray was out of range by that’ time. From there he went after aman named Woods. He met him on the road and told him he was an- ocher of those who hed been hunting him and that he was going to hang him. He then put » rope around Woods’ neck, threw it over the limb of a tree and prepared to string him up. ‘Then Woods begged for his life and gave him his wateh and ‘wil his money. Murray then tied the man’s hands bebind his back, led him to his house aud made a negro there bring out Woods’ pistol and give it to him. Word was sent here immediately, and some men have gone out toarrest him, but Murray is in a place surrounded by twenty miles of hammock aud swamp and one man there could keep a regi- mont at bay.

Mr. Mathews, the home secretary, will get a judgeship. A new cabinet, with Mr. Chamber- -E.Gorst and Lord Hartington as mem- bers, who will add» further liberal element to fovernment legislation, must have time to settle into working cohesion before risking a dissolu- tion of parliament, 4 SURPRISE FoR RoTH sIDrs. ‘The liberal victory in the Wisbech division is & surprise to both sides. ‘The Gladstone candi- date was opposed by powerful local trade inter- ‘ests and it was hardly calculated that he would do any more than reduce the conservative ma- Jority to such a minimum as would justify « Tecontost at the coming election. Among the elements of the conservative strength were the publican and brewer interests, long domnant In the constituency. These were thrown in their full strength against the Gladstonite, whose victory is therefore ail the more signifi- cant. But neither this nor the results of any of the bye-clections will alter the determination of overnment to <7 complete its «heme of Irish legislation before dissolving parlia~ ment. Certain influential conservatives in constant communication with the electoral hendquarters are pressing Lord Salisbury to remodel the cabinet and to dissolve parliament atonce. They plead that the strength of the Gladstonian reaction is growing constantly and that another year's delay will probably result im an over ing Libera! majority. These tactical ressons, though aupported bythe opin- ion of the officials of the electoral executive, have not shaken Lord Salisbury and Mr. Bal- four in their resolve to face another session. COMMENT ON SALISBURY. The reasons for Lord Salisbury's recent de- nuncistion of the action of the Irish priests against Mr. Parnell as a clerical conspiracy have been the subject of keen surmise. The MeCarthyites have shown no intention to ob- struct the government Irish legislation re- cently. On the contrary they have aided Mr. Balfour on every reasonable proposal. But the Ministers, besides recognizing an essential agreement and the closest political aflilintion between the McCarthyites and the liberals, have private information on the nature of communications that have between the Hiberal lenders and the Irish bishops, uniting them in common action against the govern- ment. To counteract the policy now supported by every bishop, except Dr. © Dwyer of Lim- erick, Lord Salisbury recently renewed over- tures to the Natican to intervene, and asked the pope to pronounce on the eve of the gen- eral election @ decisive word against episcopal interference. The pope's refusal prompted the Premier's allusion to a clerical conspiracy and tw the abolition of the illiterate voter and his threat to reduce the Irish representation. The conservatives now see that the bishops hold su- preme sway in Jreland, aud that Mr. Parnell's decadence on the day the priests de- serted him. LOSS OF PARNELL's STRENGTH. No more striking proof of the utter loss of Mr. Parnell’s strength could be given than in the character of the delegates surrounding him at yesterday's convention in Dublin. It was a meeting for which careful preparation bad deen making for a time, yet hardly any men of local or general prominence could be got toattend. The Times, which has hitherto redicted Parnell’s ultimate success, says that Yesterday's convention proves the impotence of the Parnellites and shows that the tenants of the settled districts are no longer with him. Piots dependent upon the existence of a flow of dollars from America are now paralyzed. So low have the Parnellite fortunes falien that a paltry American donation of £125 was received by the convention with cheers. Mr. Campbeil, 2. P., is no lor ir. secretary, Mra.
