Many people who have been suffering from colds due to changes in weather have got the idea that there is a return of the grip epidemic and in compliment to the season they call it the “summer grip.” Inquiry among physicians fails to disclose the presence of any such epi- demic. On the contrary, they say that Wash- ington is remarkably healthy at this time. Dr. H. L. E. Johnson said toa Stan reporter today that he had not noticed any sign of a re- turn of the grip in any form, and a large num- ber of physicians with whom he had talked, he said, all remarked upon the peculiar freedom of the city this seasod from sickness. Even the fevers that are always more or less common in all cities have been Jess apparent than usual There is an extraordinary freedom from sick- ness THE NEW CONCORDIA CHURCH. The Corner Stone Laid With Impressive Cere- monies Yesterday. The dedicatory ceremonies on the occasion of the laying of the corner stone of the new Concordia Church, at the corner of 20th and G streets, took place yesterday afternoon in the presence of a vast throng of people. including some of the best known German-Americans of this city. The services began at 3:30 o'clock, in the midst of the intense heat that made yee terday one of the most uncomfortable Sundays of thayear. A temporary floor had been Inid in the structure, which has been completed up to the second story, and a pulpit was arranged next to the corner stone. The audience was thus seated in the church. Outside, however, Was a great crowd composed of those unable to obtain seats inside, and for a block around the church the streets were packed with eager people. ‘THE EXERCISES. At 3:30 a procession of the ministers of the Lutheran Church from other cities, led by Rev. Dr. Ernst Derwitz, the pastor of the Concordia Church, walked from the parsonage next the chufeh to the platform. As soon as all were seated, Rev. Paul Menzel of Baltimore invoked the Di i building that they had come to dedicate. Rev. H. Kirschmann, also of Baltimore, led in prayer. after which Rev. Christian Hirschmann, another Paltimorean, read from the scriptures. All this was in German, as was also the address delivered by Rev. E. Huber of the monumental city. the president of the Atlantic district of the evangelical synod of North America. He called tention to the progress made by the Germans a America, and particularly to their evangeli- cal work in the establishment and maintenance of churches. Rev. Dr. Samuel Domer of St. Paul’s Luth- eran Church in this city delivered an address in English, in which he congratulated the con- gregation of the Concordia charge that in itslong existence it had found so much prosperity, of which the new sanctuary would always be a monument. THE FORMAT, CONSECRATION. ‘The Washington Sengerbund rendered # sa- cred chorus, which was followed by the formal consecration of the stone, already placed in po- sition. The quaint and impressive ritual of the chureh was read by Dr. Derwitz, invoking Di- vine sanction. He struck the cornerstone three times with a mallet, and the ceremony was ended. The hollow of the stone contai copies of the Washington and Baltimore dai papers, the various publications and monthly isues of the Lutheran church, the roster and history of the Concordia organization and United States coins of different denomina- tions. Kev. H. Dalhoff of Beltimore pronounced the benediction and the large audience dispersed. pceaniene sa CHRISTIAN WORKERS, A Convention to Be Held in This City in No- vember, Aconvention of Christian Workers will be held at the First Congregational Church No- vember 5 toll.

Saturday night there was some excitement in the neighborhood of 10th and H streets, caused by the reports of pistol shots and the howling ofalarge dog. ‘The canine mastiff was the property of Mrs. Suter and had been a pet in the family. It was not until afew days ago that the animal showed any signs of vicious- ness and, then it bita boy. The boy's parents were not alarmed, and as no request was made to have the dog killed it was permitted to live; | but Saturday night Mrs. Bowie's daughter was bitten, and then she requested Policeman Loom ‘to shoot it. The otiicer hesitated, but when she insisted upon it he emptied his re- volver ut the animal, which was in a dark area- way. Policeman Bowie, who was attracted by the reports of the pistol shots, came along and Oiticer Deane soon followed. ‘The three weapons were emptied of their loads and still the dog was alive. Policeman iiclan was the last to arrive, and after his pistol was used the dog's life was ended by the use of a base ball bat. Transfers of Keal Estate. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: W. H.

There are probably more of these pestiferous little in- sects here now than ever were seen before. Many houses are infested by them and whole families are kept on the jump. Fles hunts are & daily occurrence and are often very exciting, always interesting to those who are prompted to the chase. ‘THE CHOICE PLACES. The favorite abiding places of the flea on the human body are under the stocking, usuadly in the vicinity of the garter, and in that part of the back which is most difficult to reach. As- sistance and privacy are essential to a success- fal flea hunt, and the young man who receives abroad hint’ to take parture from the side of a lady where he has usually been wel- come to remain during the long hours of the summer evening may be reconciled to the apparent coolness by considering that there may be fleas in the house. ‘MANY HOUSES INFESTED. Many persons who have been away fora summer vacation, having their houses closed, have found on their return that their houses were infested with fleas. In cases where the carpets had not been removed the insects made their homes in the carpets, from which they could be seen hopping like hop toads. One lady on the first morning of her return got twenty of these insects on her ankles in walk- ing across her bed room in her baro feet, and ftince has killed not less than fifty, which isa pretty good record, considering their activity. DUE TO EXCESSIVE DAMP WEATHER. A Stan reporter called the attention of Prof. Leland Howard to the reappearance of the epidemic. “I think,” said the professor, “that it is due to the much damp weather we have had this summer, though I have not yet investigated the matier so as to know certainly. ‘Two years ago, when we had a damp scason, ficas were Very numerous, Last season, when it was hot and dry, there were few. I think that they breed iuster and more prolifically during @ damp season. The dampness is not the cause of them, but is favorable to them. ‘They breed as cattle or other animals, but one female flea will lay an almost infinite number of eggs. In damp weather they hatch out readily. They hatch out in cracks in the floor, in the dust and in carpets. When housesare closed for the summer they are undisturbed and are free to multiply But originally there must have been at least two fleas in the house to start with I think that a good thing to do to get rid of them is to spray the carpets and cracks with benzine, but you must be careful about having a light in the room until the vapors have passedaway, ae they are explosive and inflammuile.”” a Perseverance Lodge of Good Templars. Perseverance Lodge of Good Templars at its meeting on last Saturday evening at Elks’ Hall was attended by a membership much larger than usual. The ways and means committee, with Mr. A. H. Frear as chairman, was ized to arrange for acontest in clocu! October 17 between young ladies of the several lodges for one of the Demorest silver medals, Acommittee, with Mr. 8. W. Russell as chair- man, was appointed to submit resol itions ex- pressive of thesorrow with which the announce- ment of the death of Kev. Samuel Kramer was received. The report of the committee on legislation and licenses was encouraging to the meeting.

Kate Barclay's familiar face was missing in the Police Court cells this morning and she will be missed from her old haunts forever, as last night she joined the great majority and her body will probably fill a pauper’s grave, unless her companions in misery contribute toward defrayingsher funeral expenses. K was one of the best known women in Nailor's alley as well as in police circles and on the farm. She was sitting in her room last ight and several of her acquaintances were there with her, when she fell to the floor appar- eutly ina fit.’ A physician was sent for, but when he reached the house Kate had expired.

The services were held in = ca- pacions tent pitched on the north of Allen's pel. The choir, directed by Prof. John Smith, occupies the rear of the staad. Con- gregational singing is that which is most prac- ticed, the leader reciting each verse and the congregation repeating it in song. At the morning service peuterday Rev. J. it Bundy of Shiloh Church, Washington, did not appear, as advertised, but Rev. B.D. Dade of the same city did. "He preached on ‘Salvation the Ark of Mankind,” and got his text from the | eighth" chapter | of | Genesis. Rev. Dr. 8. M.

"It was continued ‘as a mission until 1860, when Rev. David Smith be- came pastor. During his regime it was remod- cled. It was improved in 1886, during the pas- torate of Rev. Arthur Jones. ‘The prevent par- sonage, which stands southward from the church, was erected in 1874 by Rev. W. M. Johnson. Following the forenoon service came prayer meeting le by Brother Henson.

Ker Maa, August 22, 1891, Just outside of Hagerstown, occupying « beautiful site, is this charming resort, where many Baltimoreans and Washingtonians are enjoying the pure, refreshing air. Among the latter are Prot. Josef Caspar and Mrs. Caspar, who contributed very materially to a delight- fal musicale held in the ball room on Thurs- day last, under the auspices of Profs. Casper and Elmore, the latter prominent in the musical world of Hagerstown. A beautiful trio for violins wes rendered by Mise Minna Heinrichs, accompanied by Prof. Caspar and Master Clarence Hopkins, all of Washington. Another most enjoyable num- ber was a series of violin solos by Miss Hein- richs, who plays with decided skill and feeling. Mrs. Caspar's solo, heartily encored, was fol- lowed by “Kathleen Mavourneen,” beautifully sung. Other vocal solos followed by Mrs. Zane, the Misses Keedy, Pollard and Kogers, Messrs. Wood and Raemer, and some remark: ably fine instrumental selections for the piano by Mrs. Frederick True of Washington and Prof. Elmore completed the program. ‘The ap- preciative audience contained many of the most prominent people of Hagerstown and vicinity.

A cloudburst broke over Pottsville yesterday afternoon aiid the water poured down in tor- rents for an hour. Theculverts were unable to. carry all the water. Some bursied and por- tions of the town were flooded. Fuily 400 families were driven to the upper stories of their homes, and their cellars and kitciens ate filled with water and mud. The business por- tion of the town suffered greatly, the cellars of stores being filled with water. The storm was the worst ever known in Pottsville and the damage is estimated at $100,000.

The inhabitants of Pirvoli, incensed at the bishop of Grebena for trying to prevent a ser- vice in Roumania, made a savage attack on the bishop. They pulled out all his beard and after beating him until he became sense- lens they tied a around his ankles and dragged him on his beck through the streets, intending to hang him, but as he did not re- cover consciousness they finally left him for dead. ‘The ringleaders in the outrage have been arrested by the troops.

Se WASHINGTON GROVE. ‘The Last Sunday in Camp—Large Attendance and Interesting Services. Correspondence of The Evenins Star. Wasinxatox Guove, August 24, 1891. The last Sabbath of the camp meeting closed without a murmur of discord to mar the day enjoyment. The sun shone hot and bright and the temperaturo went up above the comfort mark, still the pecple thronged the place of worshipand showed intense interest in the serv- ices. The committee had arranged barricades to be used during the hour of preaching to prevent promenading in and from tho circle, but they were not needed and consequently not ‘used. Political hill, though not empty, was graced by other forms than those of candidates, for they, together with their constituents, who were not so utterly hopeless as to prefer soli- tude, were to be seen near the depot and out in the Grove and on Broadway, ubout the hotel, discussing the returns and receiving congratu- lations. “Even the ladies were mightily con: cerned, as was demonstrated by a purty of them taking an early trip to the depot to hear the issue and result of Saturday's voting. The crowd was equally as large ax last Sab- bath, and the city folks seomed to fairly equal those who came in vehicles. All the trains were full when they whistled for the Grove and comparatively empty when they left it. The afternoon assemblage was perceptibly larger than earlier in the day. ‘The Grove choir, largely augmented, rendered delightful music with unction and taste. Mr. Watkins of Browningsvillo assisted Mr. Poole, the Grove cornetist, during yesterday. At 11 o'clock Dr. John Lanahan delivered a strong, soul-stirring address to an immense congregation from the text found in Proverbs, iv, 14. ‘This mighty exhortation went ringing even beyond the rapt, attentive audience out into the mids: of those grouped about on the out- skirts. Rev. Job Price has a strong, thrilling voice, well adapted for outdoor speaking, and his ser- e afternoon was intently listened to. His theme was “The Good Shepherd,” and he took his text from John, x, 4. The ‘presiding elder, Dr. Naylor, filled the desk at night, and preached a characteristic sermon. He earnestly exhorted the people to “Seck tirst the kingdom of God.” Mr. Warren Choate, «r., spoke enter- rain, but the tents being pitched on a slope no ill effects resulted; otherwise the weather has been all that could be desired The camp is well policed and the streets are kept pertectly clean. ‘arget practice begins today and the com- PANY Will complete its score for the vear while ere. Lieut. Johnstone, the crack shot of the second regiment, gave a vei hibition of shooting Saturday afternoon, which was witnessed by quite a num: ber of the guests at the hotel, and he received much applause. Lieut.’ Johnstone is not only a very tine shot with the military rifle at a target at regulation distances, but do @ number of fancy shots with a Winchester re- | Peater, such as knocking the ashes off a cigar- ette held between the lips of member of the company, hitting pennies tossed into the air, And 4 still more wonderfal feat of brevking two glass balls thrown into the air at the same time. Licut. Johnstone is authority on all iatters Pertaining to firearme and isa first-class all- round shot. The utmost good f-eling prevails among ofli- cers and men. Capt. Benson is not only highly regarded as an officer by his men, but is a ge: tleman above reproach, gud he has the con: dence and respect of every member of the com- pany. Adjutant Smoot, Capt. Walker and Lieuts. Johnstone and Smith are also very pop- ular among the men. Lieut. Boeger, who was unable to leave Washington with the com is expected down today, and will probably ri main until camp is broken. AN ENJOYABLE 101 A very enjoyable hop was given by Capt. Grun at the hotel on Saturday night in honor of our guardsmen. ‘Taps were delayed until a convenient hour, and officers and men spent a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The following guests from the Hilltop House were in atten. ance: Capt. M. A. Donnelly, wife and daughter, Mesdames M. C. Palmer, C.’M- Marks and J. H! Brough, Misses K. C. Marks, S.C. Murry and Minnie Falmer, Gen. Lee Pitchlyn, and Messrs, Pitchlyn, Dick Jones, W. F. MeClure and E. Hoover, wife and children. J.

A Herald special trom ‘Granada, Nicaragua, says: A desperate fight occurred there yester- day in which the chief of police and six men were killed and many others were wounded. There had been more or less friction in the country for some time and it was feared that tainingly and with deep instruction at the afternoon gathering of the little folks. ‘Mrs. Frank Culhoun left the Grove Saturday, and is now at Atlantic City. Mrs. Kate Smith paid Mrs. H. Frankland a flying visit on Satur: Dr. and Mrs. Bov lakes. Mrs. Mary Heathman of Canton, Ohio, spent the Sabbath in camp. Mrs. Reid and son Norman have returned from Virginia, where they were enjoying a sum- mer outing. Samuel Wise, Ernest E.

McCuthtan, Miss Bessie Nelson, Mrs. J. Piatt, Mrs. M. P.

Miss Kraft and Alive Poole sang several charm- ing solos to the great delight of the folks as- sombled in the Osborne parlors.

The gov- ernment had made all the overtures to the op- position which it thought consistent with its dignity and safety, but they had been declined. ‘Théh it was decided to take measures which would prevent any possible attempt at rebel- lion. In pursuance of this policy orders were issued to arrest Gen. Zavala, Anselmo Rivas and Enrique Guzman. This order was executed yes- terday morning. As soon as the men were arrested and before they were got to the prison a number of their partisans got together aud made a desperate at- tempt to resue them. A volley was fired into the guards, which wounded several of them and. killed the chief of police. The guards returned the fire with fatal effect. Reinforcements were immediately sent to the beleaguered guards. With the reinforcem: short work was made of the friends of the men under arrest and the streets were quickly cleared—not, however, until several inter- changes of shots had taken place, in which, as above stated, six mon were killed outright and fully fifty were more or less seriously injured.
