In the Criminal Court Nim Campvell, eolored, was charged with housebreaking in entering the store of C. N. Rauch, corner 10th and P streets, on July 4 last. It was testi- fied that the store was robbed of 9 pennies, which Margaret Campbell testified that de- fendant gave to her and she spent them at Mr. Muleaby's, where Mr. Kauch found them. The defendant was arrested by Officer Heller, an it was testified that he owned up. ‘The defend- ant claimed that he only told the officer so when ie had been informed that Margaret had been locked up and did so in her interest, and that he was innocent of the charge. The jury thought otherwise and found a verdict of guilty and he was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary at Albany. —_— Petition for a Change of Name. Lawyer Sillers, acting for George A.

She was told that if she would kindly stato her case she perhaps could be so advised as to relieve in a measure the tardiness of the blind “it's nothing more or reecution.

There will be a military procession on Penn- ylvania avenue tomorrow morning, unless the ather should be too entirely disreputable. It will be composed of three of four encamp- ments of the organization known as the Union Veteran Legion, which is similar in some respects to the Union Veteran Union and in others to the Grand Army of the Republic. The occasion of the parade is the visit to city of delegations from Pittsburg, Allegher and Steubenville on their way to the annual encampment of the legion at Reading, Pa., which will take place on Wednesday. The local encampment, No. 69, will meet the visitors at the B. and O.station and escort them up the avenue to the White House, where they will be received by the President. ‘Then, after dinner has been served. the four: bodies, the locals joining the visitors in a special ear, will proceed back to the depot an go to Reading. .

There are about 150 members in the organization in this city. An interesting incident of the occasion is a ng visit paia to the city Friday night by Gen. Daniel Butterfield of New York. who is prominently mentioned in connection with the position of commander of the U. V. L., to be filled this encampment. He is now president of the Society of the Army of the Potomac.

(mene Colontzation Not Favored. At Asbury A.M.E. Chureh last night the first service cousisted of an experience meeting. Afterward au address was delivered by Rev. C. Hartzell, D.D., secretary of the Freedman’s Aid Society. Dr. Hartzell gave an excellent idea of the work which is being done toward THE EVENING ‘THE POTOMAC ARCHERS. Matches at Long Range--Officers of the East- ern Association. Since the meeting of the National Archery Society at Natural Bridge, Va, the intter part of August, there has been a marked increase of interest shown in the sport. The local bowmen have shot a series of matches with the western clubs and have won a fair proportion. This Promises to become an important factor of archery, since the clubsare so far apart that they can seldom meet. The clubs now select teame of four ladics and the same num- ber of gentlemen and, shooting upon their own grounds, send their scores by mail. October 3 two public meetings were held at Norwood, Ohio, the Walnut Hills Club en- tertained the archers of the Miami valley, thirty-one ladies and gentlemen shooting the complete rounds. Mrs. Howell, the American championess, scored 148 hite, 916 score, at the double Columbia round, one of the best public records extant. M. C. Howell, who ranked secoud at the uational meet, took first place. at the double American round, scoring 162 hits, 902 score. The average of the scores was unusually high. At the arsenal, in this city, on the same day the Rotomacs enjoyed their fall outing. ‘Miss Williams won first rank among the ladies with a record at the double Columbia round of 125 hits, 657 score. Aanong the bowmen L. W. Maxson led with 173 hits, 971 score, thus out- ranking the winner in the western meeting. Miss Williams stood third among all the ladies shooting that day. ‘Thursday and Friday of last week the merry twang of bow string and hiss of arrow marked the progress of the Eastern Association meeting. Owing to the rainy weather of the preceding days und, other causes the attend- ance was chietly local. ‘he shooting was close enough to make the contests deeply interest- ing, and prizes were sufiiciently numerous _ to insure « happy ending for every archer.

Mr. John H. Mitchell was selected as Permanent chairman of the general committee; air. B. R. Holmes, vice chairman; Mr. John R. Mahoney, secretary, and Mr. N. Bunch, treas- urer. Various subcommittees have been ap- pointed. sae ER ADIN for Clothing Destroyed. The first bill for clothing destroyed under the law for the prevention of the spread of contagious discases has been presented to the health officer. The amount mentioned was #10.25, and the claimant was Mary Reed. There was diphtheria in her house and she destroyed some bedding and other articles by direction of Dr. Osmun. The health officer approved the bill and forwarded it, together with the worean’s affidavit, to the Commissioners. secs wf The Case Was Dismissed. Michael Sullivan was tried in the Police Court Saturday. He was charged with cutting Henry Burke. They met ata wedding several nights ago and after leaving the house there was trouble. Burke was cut several times with a knife, but he could not tell who cut him, and the charge against Sullivan was therefore dis- missed. —_—_- A Fight in « Church, Witnesses in the Police Court Saturday described the trouble that occurred in the First Baptist Church, colored, on Meridien Hill last Monday night. ‘There was a festival given in the church, and when the band played a lively air some of the young folks began doing the light fantastic, which the Rey. Redman promptly checked.’ A seene of disorder followed, so the wituesses said, and many of the fence palings were used in the combat. One colored woman said it looked like war times, although no one was killed. She saw plenty of blood stains on the floor. Another witness, after telling of the fight, said that they sold cakes and fruit, including grapes, and Judge Miller asked if they had any grape juice. She answered in the negative, but said she saw one of the men have a Bottle of whisky. ‘The defendants in the case were Nelia Dixon, George Roberts, Leonard Cole, Mary Dixon, Louisa Simms, Moses Simms and Robert fos:. Leonard Cole was one of those who was selected to keep order, but the proof was that he took as much part in the affair as the others, and Judge Muller fined them $10 each. ——- An Anti-Parnell Feeling Developed. The only branch of the Irish National League remaining in this city is tho T. M. Healy branch, and this branch held an exceedingly lively meeting last night. The discussion was on a resolution of condolence upon the death of Parnell and upon a proposition to change the nam+ of the branch. No definite action was taken on either proposition, and both will be decided at the next regular ineeting in No- vember. However, a strong anti-Parnell feel- ing was developed, and it is surmised that the next meeting may result ina serious split in the organization. —_—_ Grand Rally at Shiloh Church. The Shiloh Baptist Church held its fourth grand rally yesterday, and the church was crowded all day with ite members and friends to listen to the eloquent sermons delivered by the following divines: 11 a. m., Rev. J. A. Tay- lor, pastor; 3p. m., Rev. Mr. Colley, mission- ary to Africa, assisted by Revs. Porter and Alexander; 8 p. m., Rev. Walter H. Brooke, pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, and his excellent choir. The amount realized during the day was $735. The rully is to be continued next Sunday. ‘Two Cases Against Him, Detective Mahon Friday artested Harry Durham, colored, on suspicion of theft, and when taken to the Police Court Saturday morning two charges were ferred against him.

Last June there were four graduates—Miss Mullen, Mrs. Nicholson, Miss Manegat and Miss Hayden—and their movements are looked after at the hospital, where information can alwa} be obtained. ¥ Dr. W. W. Johnston has recently been made President of the medical stuff in the place of r. Toner. ‘The affairs of the hospital are in good condition. Ground was broken a week ago for the new wing, which it is talked of naming the Millor building, in memory of the late Justice Miller, who was a grent friend of institution. “This will have » capac- ity of sixty beds, all free, doubling the resent accommodations of the hospital. hen the new wing is completed the working staff will be largely increased, and @ separate building for the accommodation of the nuree: will become a necessity. The members of the board of directors say that much of the success of the hospital is due to the constant watchfulnes excellent business methods of Mr. Reginald Fendall, the chairman of the executive committee, who de- Votes a great deal of timo to the administration of its affairs. _ Justice Harlan, who took the place of Just- ice Miller on the bourd, has tuken great in- terest in the hospital and both he and Mra. Harlan are frequent visitors. sdiipaasd CLEAN SWEEP. The Capital City Bicycle Club Take Three Prizes at the Kichmond, Va., State Fair. Capt. Freeman and his boys had great work todo tosave the iouor for Washington, Lut they made a clean sweep of all of the prizes. ‘The boys arrived at Richmond Thursday morn- ing about 4 o'clock and went to the fair grounds, where they took breakfast, and thence to the hotel where they werequartered. Owing to the mismangement of the excursion com- mittee at Washington their wheels bad to be expressed and they did not arrive until the next morning. The club took part in the grand parade on the 8th, there being one hundred and fifty wheels in line. The Washington boys were not used to the rough roads and_ hills as the Rich- moud and Petersburg boys, but they got there just the same. ‘The schedule of the races was follows: rst race, { mile, uprights, six started— Thomas aud Lrown of’ Richmond, Williams of Peterburg, Haward, Washington ‘and Webb of Washington.

Rossell Will Have to Be Substituted for Col. Roberts on the Board. Mr. R Ross Perry, the counsel for the gov- ernment inthe matter of the Rock Creek Park condemnation proceedings, stated to a Star re- porter this morning that the retirement of Col. Robert as Engineer Commissioner of the District and the promotion of Capt. Rossell to the vacancy would necessitate the filing in the condemnation case of a bill asking that the name of Capt. Rossell be inserted in place of that of Col. Robert—the act of Congress known as the Rock Creek Park act having designated the Engineer Commissioners of the District as one of the park commissioners. Mr. Perry, who is also one of the park com- missioners, views the enrly completion of the condemnation proceedings with much satiefuction, for since the proceed- ings were begun he has had hardly a moment's rest, it being absolutely necessary for him to labor day and night in order to enable him to intelligently digest the great mass of testimony taken before the appraisers and properly pre- sent the government's case to them. possi ceo THE G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT. an formal Talk by Members of the Execu- tive Committee. Asa result of the illness of Chairman John Joy Edson there was no regular meeting of the executive committee for the G. A. R. encamp- ment Saturday evening, a8 was expected. All the other members were present and some time was spent in informally discussing plans for the entertainment and accommodation of the vast crowds that are expected to take possession of the city. Secretary Dingman reported that he had received applications for quarters from more than a dozen posts since the last mecting of the committee. Capt. Lemon. chairman of the finance committee, said that he thought the necessary guarantee fund would be promptly raised among the business men of this city, and that the entertainment provided for the {Grand Army would excel anything that had been done heretofore. In addition to entc taining and taking caro of the delegates there were always, he said, a number of the old soldiers of the great rank and file to provide for. This would be done in the most thorough manner, and the present idea was to pitch thousands of tents on the Monument grounds. In the event, Capt. Lemon said, that these would not be’ sufficient, some of the school houses would be utilized. ‘The committees in- tended to make such complete arrangements that no old soldier could come to the cncamp- ment and leave feeling he was neglected. pam Aotdialataas The Day of Atonement. The observance of the solemn Jewish festival of Yom Kippen, or day of atonement, was be- gun last evening by services in the synagogues. ‘The celebration continues until this evening at sundown and is marked not only by religious exercises, but by fasting and prayer on the part of individuals. A feature of the obsery- ance of the day is the memorial exercise in honor of those who have died during the year. —_—_ His Horse Fell on Him. On Saturday L. B. Bradiey, a white boy of nine years, living at 222 Gth street southeast, had his collar bone broken and was internally injured by ‘his horse falling on him at 4th and A streets southeast. Dr. Frederick attended him, and he was removed to his home in the fifth precinct wagon.

Terrible ass the suffering of these i” THE PUBLIC NIGHT SCHOOLS. ‘They Will Be Opened Next Monday Even- ing—Change of the High School. The public night schools will be reopened for the year next Monday evening. The committee of trustees having this matter in charge bas made out a scheme for the year and will Present it to the board at its meeting tomor- row night for approval and adoption. The general plan is similar to that of last year with the exception of the High School branch, which is to be enlarged and improved. Last season the experiment was tried of in- troducing into the system an ad- vanced course for the teaching of the most practical and difficult topics that could be undertaken in # night school scheme. The experiment was demonstrated to bea cor plete success, although the accommodations and facilities at the Thompson building, where the High School was established, were quite in- sufficient. This year an improvement will be made by the transfer of the school tothe roomsin the Franklin building occupied by the Business High School and by the employment of addi- tional teachers, Lust year 250 pupils attempted togain admission, but tis number had to be re- duced until but 150 finished the course. This year it is expected that 250 can be given seats and accommodated throughcut the year. THE NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL. It is anticipated that thore will be quitea competition for places in the night High School, and that the number of applicants will far exceed the facilities. It has therefore been arranged to have those who desire admission to this school present themselves at the office of Mr. C. A. Davis, the principal of the Business High School, in the Franklin building tomor- row, Thursday and Saturday afternoons be- tween the hours of 3:30 und o'clock. They will be briefly examined to determine their general fitness, and those who appear to bo ualified will be given tickets of admission. Fhe endeavor will be to maintain a certain standard, whether those who reach it number twenty-five or 230. Last year a large number of wholly incompetent pupils started on the work and were obliged to stop. ‘The other night schools will be on exactly the same plan us heretofore, and will be open to all who come. There will be a school in h of the places 60 occupied in 1589-90. There will be fifty-two teachers employed. ‘The studies taught in the lower grades will be reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, spelling, geography aud United States history. In the lowest of the four grades civil govern- ment is substituted for history. In the High School the conrse includes ‘shorthand, type- writing, bookkee mechanical dr mathemati K ture. Any three subjects can be taken at once, but no more. cole cet The N. W. U. Temperance Association.
