On April 22 Tax Stax printed the report of he engineer department on the speed of the | street cars of the city. It was stated at the time that as far as the investigations had gone there was ample evidence that some of the cars on different lines at- tained between certain points a rate of speed that was not only dangerous, but uulawful. The statistical report, showing in detail the average speed attained, the fastest and slowest speed between given points, the number of stoppages and the length of the line, was sub- mitted to the Commissioners this morning. On the Brightwood railroad, the report states that the fastest time made was between Saul’s place and the power hoase. when the car tained a speed of 90.68 miles per hour. The average speed on the main line is 10.8 miles per hour. The Washington and wn railroad Tun its cars at the rate of eight miles an hour on the main line and six miles an hour on the depot branch. ‘No report has been made of the speed of the Metropolitan li The Columbia Railroad Company run its cars at the rate of 6.5 miles per hour. The Anacostia road is the slowest of them all. On the main line the cars only attain @ of about five and half miles per hour, while the cemetery branch creeps along at a speed of 8.94 miles per hour. The time taken by Inspector Bradshaw of the speed of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railroad puts the average speed at 14.5 miles yr hour, while the computing engineer, figur- on the length of the road and the schedule time, a it at 8.7 on the main line, 4.63 on the G street branch and 5.28 on the Glenwood branch.

Chief Justice Fuller Will Be Present at Its | Organization Next Monday. Judge Shepard of Texas, one of the two as- sociate justices of the District Court of Appeals, arrived in the city last evening, and this morn- ing had an interview with Judge Martin F. Morris at the latter's office. ‘The Texan member of the new court is a tall, broad-shouldered and heavily-built man, ap- parently about forty-five years of age. His hair is dark, and a heavy mustache partly ebvers a strong mouth. He stated to s Stan reporter that he was here red to fill to the best of his ability the high office to which the President had ap- inted him, and felt sure that he would be de- Fightea with Washington and its people. Judge Morris stated that Chief Justice Alvey would be inthe city tomorrow, when there would be s consultation between the members of the court respecting its organization M day morning next. and other necessary detail He stated that Chief Justice Fuller of the United States Supreme Court had accepted an invitation to be present at the organization of the court on Monday next. There will, how- ever, be little if any extended ceremonies at the organization of the court. a THE BENNING TRACK. on Fi ‘Well-Contested Races Were Kun Yes- terday—Summary of the Events. Although the weather was raw and piercing yesterday the third day's racing at Benning was witnessed by a fairly good sized crowd. ‘The track was in splendid shape and five well- contested races were run. Two favorites and two second choices won, the fifth event going to Return, a 10 to 1 chance. The talent therefore left for home with rather the best of the bookies. The event of the day was the Metropolitan ‘steeplechase stakes over the full course. The result of the race was a grent dis- appointment to the backers of Mr. Tompkins’ mare, Can Can, which started second choice at5to2 For some unaccountable reason the mare refused the third obstacle and was never in the race afterward.

Crxcrxxatt, April 27.—The Cincinnati Base Ball Club has not missed opening the cham- plonship season on the regular schedule date ce the organization of the American Asso- ciation in 1882. Ata late hour last night the prospect for a game at the local park did not look very fiatter- ing, for the showers of the day kept up until miduight. The day dawned bright and clear, however, and there is now scarcely a doubt that “play ball” will be heard at the time set for the open- ing game with Capt. Anson’s celebrated Chi- cago team. The gates will open at 1 o'clock and the open air concert by Weber's orchestra will begin half an hour later. Darby, the wpiteher recently released by Philadelphia without a trial and later engaged by Capt. Comiskey, arrived today. He comes highly recommended by Jim Boyle and Tim Keefe. It is not certain that Morgan Murphy Will sign with the Cincinnati club this season, He is holding back on the salary and President Brush says he does not regard him as indis- —— to the success of the club, although would like to see him in his old position Billy Young Not to Meet Dixon. Billy Young, the local light weight, denies the statement that he will meet George Dixon, the champion feather weight, at Kernan’s for $50 tomorrow night. No proposition has been made to him, he says, and he did not agree to stand four rounds before Dixon. Game at Philadelphia Prevented.

WILTSE’S FUNERAL. His Remains Will Be Brought to Washing- ton for Buri Capt. Wiltse, whose death in New York was snnounced in yesterday's Star, had been con- fined to his home only six days. He attended the reception to the Duke of Veragua a» week ago last evening at the Hotel Waldorf and only 8 few nights before was an honored guest at 9 Union League Club dinner. He seemed in the best of spirits. It ts now supposed that the ex- citement of the Hotel Waldorf reception was indirectly the cause of his death. About two years ago the captain had an attack similar to the fatal one, and congestion at the base of the brain was suspected. Satur- day and Sunday he seemed to improve, but on Monday morning he was much worse and bis mind wandered. te His brother-in-law, W. E. Steelé of Min- neapolis, Minn., found him rational Monday noon, however, and it was thought the worst of the attack had passed. But that night he became unconscious and remained #0, except for about five minutes on Tuesday, until breathed his last yesterday. At the bedside were his wife, his daughters, “Annie” and “Sally.” eighteen and fifteen years respectively; his sons, Franklin, thirteen years, and Arthur, seven; Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Steele, Mr. Franklin Steele and Mr. Ed- ward McCauley of Washington, — also brothers-in-law and their wives, and Mr. A. D. Addison of Washington, still another brother- in-law. ‘The brothers-in-law and Mrs. Wiltse's sisters had been visiting at the house since a week ago last Sunday, when Capt. Wiltso and bis wite celebrated the twenty-first anniversary of their marriage. Capt. Wiltse married in 1872 Miss Sarab Steele, daughter of the late Franklin Steele of Washington, His wife and four children sur- vive him. He was one of the well-known and popular men of the navy. His funeral will be held at St. Thomas’ Prot- estant Episcopal Church in New York on Sat- urday at 11 o'clock. It is probable that the faneral will be under the direction of Commo- dore Erben, commandant at the Brooklyn navy | yard, and theta detail of marines will accom- pany the body to Washington. His remaius will be buried with military honors at Ouk Hill cemetery, West Washing- | ton, Sunday morsing. HIS MONORAELE CAREER. Capt. Wiltse was born at Binghamton, N. and was appointed a cadet at the Naval Acad- emy. He became an acting midshipman on ptember 20, 1855; midshipman on June 9, 1869; iettenant on August 31, 1861; lientenant | commander on January 6, 1866; commander on November 8, 1873, and captain ‘on January 25, 1887.

There is nothing new in regard to the rail- road deal and it may be said also that. there is | nothing definitely known about probable de- velopments in the future. It is generally un- derstood that the option on a controlling inter- est in the Metropolitan railroad expires at the close of business today. Whether the option will be continued on the same terms or entirely absndoned is a question about which there is a good deal of uncertainty. Some think that the parties to the deal will never come together. Others believe that after awhile, when the market is in better condition, the sale will be effected. There is talk of the syndicate that controls the Belt and the Eckingtou railroads complet ing the consolidation of those lines and by ex- tensions to forms strong system. On the other hand, the reorganization of the Metropolitan road is discussed which will retain the control Practically in the same hands, with such changes &s to make it amore productive property than itis at present, This is the talk of those who believe that the plan of the purchase of the Metropolitan road has been abandoned by the Philadelphia syndicate. ‘There are others who are well informed and they express the belief that the proposed deal will eventually go through. ee ‘The South hington Saloons. To the Editor of The Evenmg Star A few days ago Tux Stan published an ac- | count of a visit made by a delegation of min- isters to the Commissioners of this District for the purpose of protesting aguinst the number of saloons with which South Washing- ton is unfortunately cursed, That there are too many drinking places, both of a private und public character, not only in South Washington, but all over Wash- ington, no good citizen who is jealous of the reputation of the capital city willdeny. Gut the Commissioners are not altogether to blame for the existence of these Launts of vice and sin, where so many of our young men and women are ruined.

The colored man, Lancaster, who figured in the affray was found asleep in the wituess room and when brought into court he was so drunk that he could not give an intelligent account of the affair.

There was a circus parade on Monday and in accordance with time-honored custom thousands of men, women and children lined the sidewalks to sce the tinseled aggregation move by. Some of these people were on North Capitol street between L and M streets and many were directly in front of the Lucy Webb Hayes Home for Deaconesses. Just before the procession started the police cleared the streets and in the crush several persons, some of them women with infants in their arms, were forced back through the gate- way of the home and up the steps leading to the home. Then = man connected with the institution appeared and ordered th trespassers to get off the steps and into the highway. Nobody went, because a forward movement was impossible while the police held the crowd back tight to the sidewalk and the fences. ‘Then the man took up a Potomac-laden garden hose and turned the stream on his unwill- ing gueste, That he was not thrashed is said tobe due to the fact that the invaders were women and children, but as soon as the story became known in the homes of those who were soaked there were threats that may yet develop.

It is sup- posed that she came here from the review at Hampton Roads. She wears an English stern and her name in gold letters can- not be read off land. She carries a large crew, and red fezes. She can make a good deal of canvas and the size of her mainsail is a wonder. She carriesa fairly large boom, but no sprit. She is decidedly graceful, is painted black with gold bands, Freights along the river are light. ‘This is to be expected at this season of the year. ‘There is a fair amount of staff passing between Washing- ton and Alexandria, but the down river stuff is confined to oysters and fish. The season for the first mentioned erticle is slack, and for the latter is slim. Passenger travel is light, bat will steadily increase from now on, till the first of August, near which time it is usually at ite maximum. There is a striking increase in the lumber trade along the river. The prospects are that the season in this direction will not be quite so flat as was prophesied. The arrival of half a million feet has been reported within the past few days. ‘Thus far, though, the lumber season is in marked contrast with last year, Merchants then had the G. A.
