Gen. Denver was exceedingly well known in trie city. He was a man of herculean size. Born in Virginia in 1817, he removed to Ohio in 1880, where he graduated from the Cincin- nati law school. In Ohio he tatght school and edited a paper, but later he removed to Platte City, Mo.

Denver owed a large measure of his success to his idea that the people could dest manage their own affairs untrammeled by the military arm of the government, so long at least as they stopped short of insurrection, and, finding the troops scattered all over the terri- tory, he proceeded to recall them as fast as could be done without causing uneasmess and excite- ment among'the people. Although laboring against tremendous disad- Yantages he succeeded in bringing the affairs of the territory to a satisfactory state. IN THE WAR OF THE REBELLION. At the breaking out of the civil war he en- tered the Union service in 1861 with the rank of brigadier general from President Lincoln. He was for a time in charge of the military district of Kansas, because of his knowledge of the peo- ple and country, but was later transferred east, and joined Gen. Halleck in time to take part in the advance on Corinth. He afterward relieved | Gen. Logan at LaGrange, when he assumed control and command of all the railroads in that part of Mississippi and Tennessee, having had his command increased at various times by the addition of other regiments until it num- bered over 30,000 men. This was tht most | difficult and most important part of his military service, and, being in the enemy's country, was most exacting and trying, but such was his executive ability that all moved without a jar or break. After the war Gen. Denver devoted him- self tothe practice of law. He was promi- nently mentioned for the presidential nomina- tion at the” Cincinnati democratic convention of 1876, when Mr. Tilden was nominated. In 1873 Gen. Denver took an active part in organizing the Veterans of the Mexican War, of which society he has been president up to the hour of his deatb. sneer ee She Only Got Thirty Days. “Josephine,” said Jndge Harper to Mrs. Josephine Gorman thw morning, “you are charged with being drunk and a vagrant, and the officer «ys you are seldom out of the work- house.” 4 “Well, your honor,” replied Josephine, “the officers give me no chance at all.

Yesterday the mother of Charles J. King of Baltimore, and to whom a marriage license was issued last Friday in which was the name of Sarah R. Beltzer, was here making inquiries as to whether they were really married. The court house records showed the issuance of the license, but there had been no returns made, nor could it be found who married them. King gave his residence as Baltimore and that of the lady as Columbus, Ohio, and it appears from the statements of Mre. King that her son is but nineteen years of age and Sarah is » variety actress under the name of Belvoir, engaged at the National Hall, Baltimore, and’ she at fhe Doy was entrapped into marrying: —— Assaults and In the Police Court, Judge Miller, this morn- ing a number of assanlt and other cases were tried. ‘Wm. Fletcher, for assaulting Nellie Fletcher, ‘was fined @5. Oliver Dorsey and Albert Adams were charged with an affray. They had a fight originating from Adams eailing oh Dorsey's wife, ‘and the court fined Dorsey $1 and Adams $ James Martin and Edward Bumbrey were charged with an assault on John Shields, and the firet named was fined $10 and Bumbrey was dismissed. Shields was then charged with car- xying a concealed weapon, a pistol, and was sentenced to four months in jail and a fine of 250 or two months more. ‘William and Sophia Fields of 1481 Sampson street were cl with an affray, but it turned-out to be an assault in the house and the case was disminsed. A Colored Gambler Acquitted. John Jones, colored, was tried in the Police Court, Judge Miller, yesterday for petit larceny of asilver watch from Joseph Dorsey on July 28 at Irving Park, near Annapolis junction. Dorsey identified the watch as his. George Wood testified that he pawned a watch for Jones for $3, J. M. Lloyd that he arrested Jones at Fairfax Court House and he owned up to taking the watch. Detective Styles of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad testified that he heard Jones say that he had given the watch to Wood to pawn. Jones took the stand and testi- fied that his business was gumbling; that he was at Irving Parkand ‘Dollar Bill” got broke at ‘a dice game and he loaned him $3 on the watch, and he went to Baltimore when the boys broke him and then he came here. He played “crap,” “shot dice” and “sweat.” The case was eub- mitted without Cpr and the jury found a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Sellers asked that a second charge be tried and Mr. Clagett stated that the officers desired a postponement. On inquiry by the court it was stated that the of- fense was at Irving Park and they could not say that the pay was brought here. The court said he could not be held and discharged him. > ‘That North “Low” Again Upon Us. To the Editor of The Evening Star: ° August 8 the weather map stood very much as it did in the previous hot spells, that of the | last half of June and the last week in July, the “highs” and “lows” crossing the continent on lines southwest and northeast.

Then the “ows” would move on the gut between, with acenter most of the time in the extreme northeast, and as fast as one moved on to Europe there was another to take its place, whereby the steady flow of south winds was con- tinued. There wasalow pressure of the barometer over fully one-half of the United States all the time. This low pressure means an atmosphere full of moisture, hot and moist—a perfect open ‘sweat box, #0 to speak, thousands of miles square—the gradients far apart, with a pres- sure of from 29.9 to 30.1.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: When the departments close at 3 o'clock these sweltering afternoons hundreds of ice coolers throughout the various buildings in different parts of the city are left half to two-thirds or more full of ice and water, having been replen- ished with ice at noon. From that hour until toward midnight the ice melts away in gloomy silence. Meanwhile the sweltering crowds pass by athirst, but with nothing to abate the thirst except the various drinks paid for over the counter. How easily and with how little ex- pense the contents of these coolers could be emptied at the close of the day intd tanks at the different sides of said buildings, from which the thirsting public could quench its thirst.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your issue of yesterday I noticed a very flattering defense of Maj. Wm. G. Moore by Mr. Perry H. Carson. It wasa remarkable de- fense of the chief of police, so remarkable that it surprised all who read it. Do you remember some few months ago of an indignation meeting being held in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, of which Rev. Robert Johnson is pastor, to condemn the kill- ing of young Lomax by Officer Mellen? Do you remember that Mr. Perry Carson on that occasion advised all the colored people to buy shotguns, and if they were asked what they ‘were doing with them say that “De old man told me to keep s shotgun in the house just to play with?” Do you remember, Mr. Editor, on ‘that occasion Mr. Carson said that Maj. Moore was responsible and ought to be removed? In- deed he was the only speaker who demanded the removal of Maj. Tiosee and as being unfit to be chief of poli Maj. Moore in his private office on a Sunday morning called my attention to Mr. Carson's remarks as being unwise and cowardly. ‘Tae Stan, as well as the public, will be sur- rised to know why Mr. Carson characterizes |. Moore the great immaculate at this time and one of the gods of nature. The reason i this: If you look over the list of police changes that were published in your issue of yesterday you will ses where Mr. Carson's rother or ton has been appointed by Maj. Moore on a patrol wagon. In conclusion I want to say that Mr. Carson does not represent the sentiment of the colored people nor does he voice the sentiment of those distinguished colored divines who took part in the R street meeting that saw fit to denounce the shooting of Lomax, to wit, Reva. Geo. W. Lee, Robert Johnson, Thos, Gray and others, and challenge Mr. Carson to deny what { have asserted. A man who would sacrifice the welfare of an oppressed race of people for a petty appoint- ment of a brother or a son on a patrol wagon is not worthy to retain the confidence of his own satellites, The people are with the Attorney General and the people will speak. Very respectfully, W. Carvix Caasr, 1109 I street northwest. ‘ashington, D. C., August 10, 1892. gi bahay ANACOSTIA, RECEPTION TO A PASTOR. Rev. Dr. Samuel M. Johnson, pastor of Allen Chapel, was last evening accorded a reception by the members of his flock. A good deal of Seripture talk was indulged in and the affairs of the church canvassed. It was agreed that these were in a No.1 condition, The camp now being conducted in the grove adjoining is add- ing largely to the coffers and the congregation. NOTES, Nude bathers are giving the police trouble. No objection to them is interposed when they select a secluded spot for their natatorial en- deavors, but when they strip within eye range of the village the officers have to draw the line.

In the Bombardment of Ceibs the United States Flag Was Ignored. Letters from Honduras, says the New York Sun, report a big battle in the interior, some say at Botijas, others at Danli, between Gen. Mula, commanding the revolutionary forces, and Gen. Villeta, commanding those of the gov- ernment, in which Mula was defeated aftera fight of eleven hours and retreated toward Ni aragua. Belfate, which was occupied by the revolutionists, hss surrendered to Gen. Ordo- nez of the government army. The foreign resi- dents of Ceiba complain that no notice was given of the intended bombardment of Ceiba by the Pizzatti, and that in consequence several innocent persons, including one woman, were killed. The residence and office of the American consul, B. Tocca, were riddled with rifle bullets, two men being shot on the premises. The stars and stripes were floating over the consulate be- fore and during the bombardment. The res!- dence of the agent of the Oteri, American line, also had the American banner flying, but that, as well as the residences of the French and Spanish representatives, were badly wrecked by the bombardment. The town was a good deal — so were the other towns on the coast bombarded by the Pizzatti. The Honduras affair, although settled, promises to cause some’ serious international complications. Threats are made by the for- eign and American owners, whose property was destroyed by the bombardment of Ceiba by the Amezican steamer Pizzatti to bring suit for damages against the owners of that vessel, the nationality of which will have to be estal ed. The Pizzatti carrics the Amer- ican register and floated the American flag, but during the bombardment of the coast towns acted asa man-of-war of Honduras, and Capt. Henry Pizzatti, although an American citizen, held a commission as a general in the army of Honduras. Mr. Santo Oteri, owner of the Pizzatti, says that before the vessel entered into the service of the government at all Gen. Leiva had ob- tained the consent of the United States War Department at Washington that the Pizzatti be used as a war vessel for the legitimate govern- ment of Honduras. He tl 8 that circum- stance ought to relieve him of responsibility in the matter of an indemnity. President Leiva of Honduras gave the captain of the Pizzatti » written guarantee that he would accede to any demands for compensation that the captain would make for his services, leaving him to fix the price. The Pizzatti will remain in the service of the Honduras govern- ment a few weeks longer and until it is certain that the revolution is ended. A telegram from Guatemala announces an- other international complication. This tele- gram was from Capt. Challoner of the steam- ship Joseph Oteri, belonging to Joseph Oteri of New Orleans, brother of the owner of the Pizzatti, announcing that the right to enter any Honduras port had been re- fused to his vessel. The Oteri was used in the capture of Truxillo and carries an American register. It was charged that the officers of the Oteri were friendly to the evolutionists and connived at the seizure of that vessel and its use against the government. The Oteri left New Orleans a few days ago with a large cargo of freight. As the freight is perishable this refusal will entail a heavy loss on the owners of the vessel. A protest was accord- ingly entered and an appeal made by tele- graph to Gen. Foster, Secretary of State, for protection. ‘The owners of the Oteri claim that the Honduras government cannot shut their vessels out of that country because one of them was seized by the revolutionists and used against the government.
