MANDE. ‘Twenty-Five Thousand Persons at the Funerals This Afternoon. Pant, July 29.—Immense erowds of people, estimated at 25,000, gathered this afternoon at St. Mande to witness the funerals of the vic- | tims of the terrible railroad disaster of Sunday | last. The crowds assembled were so great that it required the presence of the prefect of thede- | partmen tof the Seine anda strong detachment bof troops to keep the route of the funeral pro- [cession clear. There were twenty-four hearves | in the biack line, which ied frou: the town hall to the cemetery, and thousands of mourners | followed the Lodies to the grave. | One would have imagined that some terribie | scourge of the ravages of war had suddeniy | swept awny a portion of the inhabitants of St. | Maude and its neighborhood. Every man, woman and child in the vicinity seemed tohave | turned out in mourning attire for the occasion. All the houses of St. Mande were draped | with crepe emblems. balf-masted tlags and | other signs of general mourning. The entire | scene was harrowing in the extreme. ‘The air was with the wailing and crying of the relatives and friends of the dead, many of the women reaching such a pitch of excite- ment that they wont off into hysterics, while others fainted with emotion. The widowed and fatherlew were the objects of the utmost sympathy upon the part of all present, and an effort is to be made to raise a fund for the as- sistance of those who have been plunged into the deepest distress. Prior to the interment of the bodies a letter from the archbishop of Parix expressing syin- pathy with the bereaved ones was read by the mayor, who, with the prefect of ihe Seine, had charge of the funeral arrangements. ——_ TOMORROW'S CONVENTION. The Ticket That Will Probably Be Nomi- nated by the Maryland Demécrats. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Baxtimonx, July 29.—ihe democratic state convention will meet at Ford's Opera House in this city at noon tomorrow and nominate can- didates for governcr, controller, attorney gen- eral and clerk of the court of appeals. All in- dications point to a harmonious convention and the probable nomination of the entire ticket by acclamation. Col. 1. Victor Bangh- man of Frederick county, the present state controller, will be made chairman of the co vention if he will take it, but of this ther some doubt. Col. Bangbman -has been ill for several days with neuralgia of the heart and may not be ina condition to preside or even to attend the convention as chairman of his county delegation. ‘The rest of the nominations are absolutely settled upon, and there is little doubt now of Smith's nomination, though Brattan is still strong and hopeful. It is safe to say, there- fore. that the ticket will be: For governor—Frank Brown cf Carroll county. For controller—Marion de Kalb Smith of Kent county. For attorney general—John Prtntise Poe of Baltimore city. For clerk of the court of appeals—J. Frank Ford of St. Mary's county. Frank Brown is still in Europe with his sick child and cannot get back ih time for the con- vention. Had be not been called away Grattan could probably have secured the nomination, | but with his absence the control of certain | elements necessary to Brattan’s success bas passed into other Lunds. If a ballot is taken in the convention Col. Spencer C. Jones of Montgomery county and present clerk of the court of appeals will have a complimentary vote from tint county and Frederick, and ex-Mayor Hodges may have from one to half a dozen Votes from Baltimore e ty. ‘4 largely has the publig mind been taken w with the nominations to be made that the plat form seems to have been wholly overlooked until the eleventh hour. A statement has been made from an apparently authoritative source that Senator Gorman will incorporate a free silver plank im the platform, but this is hardly probable.

Publisher West Suffers Complete Diseom- fiture in the Courts. Carcaco, Inly 29.—James J. West suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Judge Blodgett this morning in the suit brought against West | by Herian Huiskamp and the other owners of the Times newspaper to declare his ownership of stock in the newspaper invalid. West also filed a cross bill against the complainants, the court dismiused. West's defeat wis complete. the court de- | claring that he had overissucd stock to the | extent of 500 shares and that this was tnvalid |and should be canceled. ‘The court also held that West's conduct in the purchase of the Times was fraudulent. In its decision the court reviewed at great length the history of the purchase of the Times from the Storey heirsin 1887. The purchase price of the entire Storey estate wax $575,000. Of this some $800,000 went to the heirs, $190,000 of which was to be paid by reconveyance of real estate and the remainder in cath. “Mrs. Storey, the widow, was to be paid $275,000 in stock for her interest in the exta Reviewing the evidence the court said the Times company was organized January 5, 1848, and West was clected provident.

Asa Mail stock- holder West received 025 shares of Times stock, Snowden 200, and the complainants 875. The complainants claimed West took 125 shares of Mail stock ostensibly for other persons, but he still wrongfully held the 125 shares of Tinics xtock. The bill charges that complainants and West agreed that the sum of £700,000 should be invested for the urpose of purchasing the Storey estate an Fortahing capital to carry on the new Chicago Tues. The complainants were to furnish three- tenths of this amount and West and Snowden seven-tenthi At time it was claimed that West made a statement showing that he was worth $365,000. Relying on this statement, complainants lain to have furnished their three-tenthi the proposed capital or $210,000. West, it is charged, did not contribute of his | own toward the purchase; that instead of pay ‘ing, as he had agreed to, he obtained credit | from the Storey heirs for $110,000, recured by promissory notes of West and Snowden. It is further claimed that $10,000 still re- mains unpaid and that the $100,000 paid wi paid in money belonging to the Ties cor pany and not by his individual meane. ‘f = claimed to have advanced $172,- It is also charged that Wes: overissued the stock of the company toan amount exceeding. {$100,000 and pledged a portion of ‘this fraudue lent stock as security for his personal debts.

PAGE TELLS ABOUT TRE VALUE OF RISLAXD AND THE MMEPROVEMENTS TREREON—SOME PER- TIRENT INTERACTIONS BY MB. PERRY. In the Cireuit Court room this Messrs, James L. Norris, George J. Seufferle and Norval W. Burchell, the appraisers ‘who have viewed the land included in the proposed Rock Creek Park, held their first open session for the purpose of hearing testimony as to values. The judges’ platform was occupied by the appraisers, Mr. Norris taking the center and | seat and on the large tables in front were large maps showing the lines of the many holdings. At one tablo was Mr. Perry, representing the | le Park commission, and at the other Judge Jere Wilson, T. A. Lambert, 8 Maddox, William Stone, Albert R. Hagner, A}B. Duvall, F. D. McKenney, C. C. Lancaster and others, repre- ‘senting the ownors and other interested parties. ‘THE KLINGLE PLACE. The commirsion first took up the Klingle Place and all the witnesses were sworn. ‘Mr. J.P. Klingle first testified, stating he claimed the right of way of the Klingle Ford road east of Rock creck under a grant made im 1831. He offered no testimony as to the value of the land, for the reason that he had accepted the proposal made. He cleinred for the right of way One-half the valne of the land, 18,000 to 20,000 square feet, at $2,000 per acre. He claimed by reason of a discrepancy in the survey about 4,000 square feet in Hosemont, lots 83-4, 88-5 and He algo claimed the right of way of the old Linoaft Hill road. ‘MR. MABRY L. PAOr's Lax. The next place was that of Harry L. Page's land, about seven acres on Rock ercek, almost encircled by it, and Mr. Sam Maddox stated that he had a proposed map of the tract showing how the lots’ fronted on tho Zoo Parks and he expected to show that those overlookin; the 200 were worth 90 to 20 cents per foot and those on the creek 20 to 30 cents, and that the buildings were worth from $15,000 to $20,000. ‘MR. PERRY'S LITTLE CALCULATION. Mr. Porry asked that tho commission note that there were 43,500 feet in an acre, and at 25 cents per foot would amount to $10,000 per acre. Ur. Page testified that he was an architect; lived on his place: drove in and out to his of fice usually in fifteen minutes. He bought seventeen acres in 1885, paying €27,000_ there- for, $1,000 per aere and 91000) for the im. provements; he bad sold to Mr. Pairo about ten acres’ at $1,200 to $1,400 per acre four yearsago. He was about 1,500 yards from the cars. It was bounded by Rosemont Park, Rock creck and the zoo. The ground was undulating, ninety feet above the creck and picturesque, and there wore 270 trees, ides 2 number of peach and other fruit trees and a vegetable garden. The land in the park opposite’ is heavily timbered with fruit trees. Every oue of the lots hasan available site for buildings and the ereek can be seen from each one. MR. PAGE TELLS OF THE BUILDINGS. Mr. Page then explained where be would put the dwellings. Ae to his house it was a large, comfortable house, in good order, with modern improvements, and needed painting, whieb he had deferred in consequence of the park pro- dect. It would cost $16,000 to $17,000 to build a house like it and it was worth 75 to $0 per cent of thatamount. He hrd put the whole honse in perfect repair, introducing tanks, &e., and it was a town house in the country, with every convenicuce except gas, although he hd the pipes. ‘The stablo, he thought, could. be built for $8,000, and the present building was worth 75 per cent of a new building, and if [hinted it would be as good as new." Vians of Mr. Page's house were offered in evidence and he then off red a map showing the proposed roads, as also a map of Ingleside Park MR, PERRY OLJECTS To IXGLESIDE. Mr. Perry objected to the introduction of the latter unless it be shown that the subdivis- ion was made prior to the act. - Mr. Maddox claimed that Ingleside was pur- chased for $3,700 two years ago and the subdi- vision was then made. Mr. Perry denied this and said that the ad- vertisements of Ingleside contained the phrase, “opposite the main entrance of tho magnifi- cent national park.” The commissioners ruled ont the Ingleside map for the prosent. eh 2 r. Page then preson| otographs of his dwelling exteriot und interor nieea neek pande an effort to purchase back one of the semont lots some three id the asked him 20 cents per took “4 HOY THE EVIDENCE RULED ovt. Mr. Perry objected that the price asked was no evidence of value, and the evidence was ruled out. Mr. Page was subjected to » lengthy cross- examination, eliciting the fact that the pur- chase in 1885 was in tho nature of a trade for city property. 1¢ was 1,500 yards from his place to the Lith street carsat Park street, and 633 yards to the viaduct over the creck ut Connestigut ayenue. Mr. Maddox said that they claimed that the Zoological Park is a valuable neighbor, and propused to offer the report of Prof. Langley us to what had been done and what is proposed to do there. Mr. Perry objected, saying no one could say what was to be done. ‘The commission Suggested that the safest (een would be to call the witnesses. The een through the zooand knew what was there. Mr. Maddox said that Prof. Langley was a member of the National Park commission and Was also attached to the 20g, and he would like to get the report before the commission. At the suggestion of the commission Mr. Maddox withdrew the offer. ENGINEER MOORE'S TESTIMONY. Mr. C. E. Moore testified to the correctness of the maps presented to Mr. Page; that the trees—about 470—meacured from six inches to two fect in diameter and were of oak, walnut, &c., native forest growth. ‘There were in the lots overlooking the zoo 132,395 square feet and pf those overlooking the crtek 199,050 square feet. ‘REAL ESTATE BETTER may Law. Robert E. Pairo followed and was examined by Mr. Maddox. He testified that he was a member of the bar, but finding real estate more rofitable was engaged in real estate. He was Krst connected ‘with the Ealin estate fu 1854 The highest price he had heard of was 75 cents, and he sold one lot since the passage of park act at 54 cents. This was struck out. He at one time owned lots at 16th and Purk—in 1884 or 1885—and sold them at 16 cents per foot. He would bay them back today at, 75 cents per foot. He had been connected with the Brook- land syndicate, and had sold lots there as high ag 22 cents.

In June, 1890, chased at 10 cents and subsequent sales at 14 cents per foot. ‘BUILDER LARCOMBE'S OPINION. Mr. John Larcombe testified that he was a builder and bad examined Mrs. Page's: ments. To replace the house it would cost $17,225, and it was worth $14,000 now. stable was worth $2,200 as it stands. ‘On cross-examinati not say what it would sell oj on what the im; rire # it i otf iHie i is @ ° Fi i ae! i i £ fr Fr g i sf i i i i ib pal ¢ LS, 8 H F f ‘ i fi ft eel E THE PUBLIC BATHING HOUSES ‘The Engincer Department Has Taken the Matter of Their Construction In Hand. ‘The engineer department of the District has taken the matter of the public bathing beach in band and Mr. Hunt was down there today mak- ing a survey of the work to find out what the state of the caso actually is.

As a result there may possibly be rome further delay, not if it can be helped, however, for the Commissioners are determined to hasten mattersas much as possible.
