However, earlier in the morn- ing a business meeting was held, at which an election of several officers took place. The only offices to fill this year were foreign secre- tary and treasurer and six additional members of the council. Mr. Wolcott Gibbs was re- elected to the office of secretary and Dr. Bill- ings to the office of treasurer. The additional members of the council elected were Messrs. Brush, Gould, Langley, Mendenhall, Newcomb and Remsen. ‘After the election the reading of papers was continued, the following being mornin, IIL, ‘On the Nature of Certain Solutions, and ona New Means of Investigating Them," ML.

Davis Requests » Hearing On the Liquor License Question. Mr. Henry E. Davis writes to the Commis- sioners today that he has been retained by some of the persons affected by the contem- plated order of the Commissioners in relation tothe necessity of applying for a new retail license in view of the act of March 3, 1893. It has been thought but just by the deal- ers, says Mr. Davis, that the Commissioners should await the result of the appeal in the Busch case before instituting further prosecu- tions or taking any general measures respect- ing licenses. “It is, of course, hardly to be expected that your honorable body,” continues Mr. Davis, “against the advice of your attor- ney and the decision of Judge Miller, would en- tertain argument in relation to the legal effect ‘and operation of the new law, but as your re- porteh order most” unfavorably, and as respectful fairly, affects @ body "of citizens, who ‘duly complied with the then existing taw and procured their licenses, and who have been lawfully and in a proper spirit conform- ing to the requirements of the law as it existed atthe time of procuring their licenses, it is deemed not amiss to suggest the propetety and and justice of your postpouing any si action as is reported until the force. and effect of the new law shall have been definitely passed upon, by the sppeliste tribunal, At the least the circumstances present @ case for the exer- cise of wise executive and administrative dis- | cretion and I have the honor to ask the privi- Tie GLOVER-PINK Or CARNATION will be therecipient of great part of onr attention tomorrow.

John W. Lee and his eight co-trustees of Mt. Zion Methodist Church yesterday deeded to Henry J. Goodman lot 78, square 95, of Beal's addition to Georgetown. This property is located at the apex of two converging streets, Mill and 26th, hasa frontage on the former of 483¢ feet and on the latter of 40, with an average depth of 100 feet. The price obtained by the church was 70 cents per square foot.

Edward Howard, seven years old,son of Frank Howard, was knocked down and seri- ously injured by an unknown bicyclist late ves- terday. The accident occurred on M street near 28th street. The injured boy was removed to Brace's drag store and attended by Dr. James Mackell. The victim is suffering from coneussion of the brain. NEARLY DROWXED. A-sailboat, containing four men, capsized yesterday near the Three Sisters. The men clung to the keel and were towed to the Virginia shore by a rescuing party. The accident was caused by defective management of the sail. The craft was permitted to go too far off the wind with a taut sheet. It is thought that the men were intoxicated, as they bad been drink- | ing beavily on shore and carried away several flasks of whisky. But for the timely ap; ance of the sober party fatalities might resulted. A VICIOUS HORSE. Miss Ruth Young of Virginia was yesterday thrown from an unruly horse and painfully in- | | jured. The young lady is voted as a fearless | rider, but mounted this particular horse in op- | position to the advice of friends. The animal caught the bit in his teeth and broke for liberty. ‘This part of the sport was all right and Miss Ruth staved there. Fences | and gullies were jumped without harm. The animal was enraged with the stings of the whip and took to plunging and bucking. Miss Ruth fell and the horse kicked her. She re se Te Fos and received an ugly Ip woun young lady is reported as not critically hurt, FAR FROM THE CROWD. There was a private picnic yesterday in the woods near Rossiyn. It was a delightful es- cape from city life. The fun bunters boiled their coffee. feasted on sand- wiches and eggs, jumped rope, shot at marks, sang to tne echoes, read novels and had a jolly time. Some of those in the party were Miss Cobb, Miss Woodward, Miss Harlow, Miss Hodges, Messrs. Emerson, James. Rollins, Bates, Simpson and Green. ‘Mrs. Shaw played chaperone with tact. AN INSULT AVENGED. Two of the colored population of George- town had a bloody scrap yesterday over a point of honor. The belligerents were Henry Chis- wick and Samuel Naylor, and the cause was an alleged insult offered by Naylor to Mrs, Chiswick. Naylor visited the Chis- wick home during the absence of the husband and it is charged made divers unchivalrous overtures to the wife, in which whe did not acquiesce. When the father of the housebold returned she reported the facts to him and Mr. Naylor: was hunted up and knocked down. Accounts differ, some have it that Chiswick drew an axon bis enemy and others that a cobblestone was the instrument employed. TRE HIGH SCHOOL. At the Western High School the students are daily rehearsing for the artistic entertainment that is to be given on Friday and Saturday of this week for the purpose of raising an extra fund for the school with which to settle somo debts that have been incurred. The features this | of the evening will be the Delsartian exercises, competitive-drills and a new operetta. NO WHEAT COMING IN. Commission merchants here state that owing tothe fact that the farmers along the line of the upper canal are busily engaged in planting no wheat or other grain in quantities is coming to the city, and as a consequence the demand is at present greater than the supply. SAYS THE HOUSE 18 DISORDERLY, On the first floor of house No. 1010 32d street there isa wholesale liquor place and the upper floor is occupied by Geo. Hilton. The visitors to his rooms have been numerous during recent months and on Sundays, the neighbors complain, the large number of persons who visit there make so much noite and some of them indulge in so much profanity that it is not fit for children to be within hearing. The incipal person to complain was Mra, Ellis, and” she appeared in Judge Mil- ler’s’ court this morning as a witness, The charge against Mr. Hilton was keeping a disorderly house. Lawyer Forest, who ap- peared for the defendant, called several wit- nesses to contradict the’ statement of Mrs. Ellis, By them it was shown that the West End Pleasure Club held forth in the rooms, One man who said he was a member was unable to tell the names of the officers of club. He had never heard any disorder and the most he knew of the affair was that he made soup forthe club. ‘There was no proof to substantiate the complaint made by . Ellis and the charge was dismissed. STREETS NOT SWEPT. ‘The police this morning reported that all the streets west of 32d were last night improperly swept. In many cases scattered pieces of dirt gre seen several times on, a square with only moles Seweert maa ‘The whole fault seems to be ABRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.
