Some Day There Will Be a Disaster at the Georgetown Market — Riders of the Silent Wheel Take s Pleasant Run—Other Notes. —- ON THE CANAL. Boats to arrive at Georgetown via canal with coal, June 9, were: For Meredith, Winship & | Company, W. J. Stephenson, Capt. 8. Grim; 8. P. Reed, Capt. Crampton; Deer, Park. Capt. Ccampleatan No. 112, Capt, H.Sayer. | For w & Company, C. W. 5 z Riley: G. ML Winship, Capt. T. (acres and ©. Dunrow, Capt. T. Crampton. Boats to ‘cleat Georgetown for Cumberland Yesterday were: L.

Bond, jr., | F.0. Bushell, Consolidation 12, W. R. Lewis, Winter and No. 142. KNOCKED Down. On the upper Chesapeake and Obio canal yesterday there was an affray between the managers of two boats that may result fatally for one of them. The trouble grew out of the colliding of thecoal conveyancers while attempt- ing to pass each ot ‘and W. | Swith were the names of the men, and the latter during the midst of the affray was struck on the head and knocked down, lying where he had fallen for some time, apparently much in- jured. - The assault was made with a heavy club Vhon Marmaduke realized what he had done he quickly left the scene and made off for parts unknown. LINTHIOUM INSTITUTE. ‘The annual strawberry and ice cream festival was enjoyed at the Linthicum Institute Inst night, the largest number of boys that have shown up this year Present. When the gastronomical part of the program had been | carried out a dozen or more of the older boys made impromptu speeches, in which the trus- tees were thanked and the institute extolled. It had been advertised as a strictly stag affair, the boys not wishing to be restrained in their en- joyment, but when Mrs. Edw. L. Dent, the wife of the nearest representative of the dead philanthropist, Mr. Linthi- cum, entered the room she was greeted with applause that would have warmed, as Mr. Hay said, the heart of the infanta, Some of the students who were called upon to make impromptu speeches were: F. J. Wessner, T. O. Pulizzi, W. Sebastian, David Reynolds, Ed. Smith, Charles R. Murray, J. Barton Milier, Thos. Barr and Thos. Henning. Messrs. Geo. W. Drew and A. 8. Ogle, two of the old boys, were present, and with ‘Messrs, Hay. Ballinger and Hedrick, made good and highly acceptable epeoches, disaster of yesterday has caused the peo- ple of Georgetown to onee more rail about the unsafe condition of the old M street market house, whose side walls, they say, have bulged out eighteen inches, whose floors’ are thin und poorly supported and whose immensely heavy roof is liable, at any time, to fall by reason of the further spreading of the sides. As to still further emphasize the condition of the place they state that a large sewer runs beneath it and is daily impairing what litle, solidity the place has. Many ladies have not been in the market house for years on account of its dilapidated appearance, fearing it would collapse while they were beneath its roof. District government owns the market. SLOW work. The slow manner in which work is progress- ing on 82d street extended is causing a howl to go up from the people who use the highway. On both sides of the track there are great piles of stones, sand and other like material which completely biock the roadway and render traveling dangerousin the extreme, particularly on the approach of an electric car. ORACE CHURCH BENEFIT. An entertainment was given last at Grace j, |,Church for the benefit of a fund with which it is proposed to build a rectory for the minister. ‘The ladies of the church had the affair in charge and made not only a financial success of it, but an artistic one, too. Some of those who gare their talent for’ the occasion were Mrs, . Rose Magruder, Messrs. Wilmarth, Stratton, Davis, Lutz, Robt. C. Sterns, Archer, Ogle, Elwell, Mrs.’ Brode, and Misses Shedd, ‘Sinith, Benton, Grimes, Brooks and Batwe. A PLEASANT RUN. Last evening the members of the Altair Cycle Club made an eminent success of what was termed @ strawberry run, which, it is be- lieved, was the first event of the kind ever participated in by wheelmen from any of the cycle clubs of this city. ‘The entire club left the headquarters at 7 p.m., and after an enjoyable spin of about eight ‘miles by way of Fort Myer and Ballston as an appetizer they arrived at the farm house of r. Silas Deeble, a well-known citizen of ti old dominion state, where the wheelmen were reeted by the sight of a table spread on the lawn and literally covered with the large, de- licious berries, plenty of cream and a quantity of very substantial sandwiches. From the sur- rounding treesa number of lanterns were sus- pended. which, together with the lamps on the wheels stacked around, converted the already Deantiful piace into a veritable fairyland. It was soon demonstrated that both the efforts of Mr. Deeble and the committee who had ar- ranged the fete were fully appreciated by the indisputable way in which the twenty quarts of strawberries disappeared. After the feast several boyish games were in- duiged in and then the wheelmen expressed their thanks and appreciation to Mr. Deoble for his kind and hospitable entertainment by + round of hearty cheers and a sories of club yells, as only the riders of the silent steed oan Jo. The club returned to the city by way of the Chain bridge and Caval road, and each mem- ber appeared as happy and contented as he was the firet day he spun over the road on his pneu- matic. notes. Mr. H. C. Thomas, son of Gen. Lorenzo ‘Thomas, who was injured on the arm, ankle and other parts of the body by yesterday's 10th street calamity. is under the care of Dr. Yar- nal. Nir. Thomas resides at 3317 N street. The Georgetown College cloves on the 27th and the Western High School on the 22d. It is stated that there will be no premiums distributed this year among the deserving of Trinity's parochial school, Father Scanion hay- ing decided to abolish the custom. 1e Western High School's commencement | exercises will be held jointly with the other high schools of the District in Convention Hall, 5th and K streets. ae ‘Washington and the Corner Stone. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Noticing in your paper of last evening the account of a meeting held to discuss the com- memoration of the laying of the corner stone of the Capitol I am reminded of an incident connected with that event, as related to me by an eyewitness, which may be of interest. On coming to reside in this city, about forty years ago, I was much in the company of an elderly gentleman, who, being « native of the region surrounding Mount Vernon, had fre- uent opportunities as a boy of seeing George Yashington on his passnges between his home d Alexandria. On the occasion ref he, with other boys, was playing by the side of the road when Washington came along and stopped his horse to exchange a few affable words, as he sometimes did, with these his | youthful neighbors. One of ‘the boys called | out: “General, we saw you set that stone up there the other day.” “Aye, boys, and"— lifting his finger and shaking it impressively— “never let you, or any man, allow that «tone to be moved away,” were the words of the grand old man ashe resumed his course, pondering, perhaps, upon the future destinies of the na- tion, tho city and the Capitol he was instru- mental in founding. Watren L. Nicuonsox. Washington, D. C., June 9, 1893. os Sedgwick Command, U. V. U.

Agent Wilson reported as to cruelty to children— cases investigated, $4; prosecuted, 2; pro- vided for in the orphan asylums, hospitals, &c., 26. Mrs. Cairns reported having found very great improvement in the cleanliness and conduct of the pound since her last visit; that the keeper was a humane man and was doing his best to keep the re in good order, but that the cruel mode of killing dogs by shooting was stil) practiced. On motion the president was requested to obtain from the Iphia authorities in! tion regarding the cost of plant and expense of killing dogs by asphyxiation as practiced in und of that city; and when such Bata is obtained, to Iny the matter before the Commissioners and ask that the same measures be adopted at the pound in this city. It was dec! that the order of Major Moore allowing cab drivers to kecp their horses in the shade was still in force. Two drinking fountains for horses were ordered to be placed, one at New Jersey avenueand C and the other at C street and Florida avenue northeast. Appropriation was made for three additional fountains to be put up when and where needed. The sf reported the receipt of 1,000 copies of Rev. F. D. Powers’ sermon on cruelty to Animals, or- dered printed for distribution at the last meet- ing. "Sie. J.B. T ‘Tupper, vice president, was re- quested to act in the president's place during his absence from the city. ee FALLS CHURCH. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Farts Canes, Va., Jane 10, 1898.

J. Rotaxp Watton, President Board. 8B COMMANDER WOOD. ‘The Resuit of His Examinstion for Promo- tion Excites General Interest. All officers of the navy are interested in the case of Commander George W. Wood, whose examination for promotion to the grade of cap- tain has just been concluded. He stands at the head of the list of commanders and until he is promoted or otherwise put out of the way all promotions below him are blocked. While it cannot be stated asa fact it is believed in naval circles that the examining board has re- ported against him. If this is so and the report is approved by the Secretary of the Navy he will be dropped from the service. The naval regulations require that an officer shall serve acertain period at sea in each grade.

A Citizens’ Committee Suggested to Exam- ine the Government Printing Office. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star. ‘The appalling catastrophe at the medical bureau building yesterday morning was, with- out doubt, the most fatal that ever happened in this city and in many respects was more of a tragedy than an accident, when all the causes which led to it are fairly considered. Granting that the excavation made under one of the walls of the building may have precipitated the dis- aster ite insecurity has been well known for Years and so pronounced by some of the gov- ernment engineers, but by reason of the false, as well as criminal, economy of Congress, no heed has been taken to the repeated warnings of the same. This is a terrible commentary on the efficiency of those responsible for it and the lesson it teaches comes with the most sickening emphasis to this community. While will be no differences of opinion as to this fact the ques- tions which suggest themselves, are, will it have any effect on the policy of the govérnment regulati all “the public buildings in the city? Will it lend to any change in the class of buildings used for the Public service? Instead of renting buildings owned by private parties will it adopt a new policy and build its own so secure that no more sach disasters will ever occur again? Why, the rentai now paid for the use of private build- ings in this city for the public service would | easily pay the interest on the money neces- sary to erect enough substantial ones to last the government for fifty or a bundred years, and this money could easily be raised ons loan as low as2 per cent, and thus mect the objections of some of our penny-wise states- men for entering upon so ‘a public ex- penditure.

And, t he urge in the |, a8 an earnest of this, most positive terms the erection of a new public ting building, and that, too, at once.
