After having been in jail for about ten | days, with the charge of murder hanging | over his head, Richard, alias Dick, Burgess | of Madison street, Georgetown, was yester- | day exonerated and discharged by Squire | a Birch of Alexandria county, be- | fore whom he was given a hearing. The squire’s house, some distance from Rosslyn, | the scene of the murder, was where the | last examination of the witnesses took place. Chas. Frizzell, considered the most | important witness in the case, had changed | his testimony somewhat from what was given in at the seventh precinct station house two days before. Yesterday he only remembered that he had seen the coat. of gess_and had not sold or given it to him. io contradictory did Frizzell make hi statements that the judge finally told him, with a look of disgust on his face, that he had enough. Frizzell not only did not know where he got the coat, but when or under what circumstances he had given it to Bur- gess. After a careful review of all the te: timony given im, the squire gave as_hi opinion thet the wrong man had been held for the murder, and accordingly discharged im. ‘The search for the fiend who crushed the head of Swift. the sixty-five or seventy- year-old soldier from Connecticut, will, theretore, begin anew. The majority of the people of Rosslyn and vicinity will not co! sider for a moment the possibility of a white man having been the murderer, but, with almost one accord, accuse an unfound colored man. Burgess, on his arrest, ac- knowledged that he had seen Swift on the day of the murder, but that he did not talk with him. He remembers, also, having seen him in company with a colored man, whom he indefinitely described as very black and with flat features. No one claiming an in- terest or kinship in the dead soldier has ever put in an appearance in Georgetown or Rosslyn, and the supposition 1s that either Swift was not the right name of the deceased or he was without friends or rela- tives. The body, it will be remembered, was interred in Arlington cemetery. In his ex- amination of the witnesses in the case yesterday Squire Birch "was assisted by wyer William Douglass. Going to Harper's Ferry. At a special meeting of the Linthicum Elocution Club last night there was read a communication from the mayor of Harper's Ferry, in which the young actors were re- quested to visit that place some time dur- ing the month of August and give an en- tertainment.

To the Eaitor of The Evening Sta: ‘The history of “the dollar of the daddies” copied into The Star last evening omitted the most important Item in its history. The dollar was made the unit of value by the act of April 2. 1792—not the silver dollar, as is generally su Hamilton had said in his celebrated report in 1791: “It seems to be most advisable not to attach the unit exclusively to either of the metals.” This advice was followed by the wise men who framed and passed the first_mint and 92, which made the dollar the unit of value and then defined its value. Their idea was that the value of the dollar was and should be wholly independent of the value of the gold or silver coin that was made to represent the dollar, in which re- gard they differed widely and wisely from the British parliament, which stopped at fixing the weight of the gold sovereign (the unit of value), but never attempted to fix its value. Consequently the value of the sovereign, or pound sterling, has always been and is now the same as the value of so much gold as a commodity, and, accord- ing to the unanimous report’ of the royal comniission in England, has advanced fully 50 per cent since 1873. What a farce to cail the sovereign. or pound sterling, a standard. A true standard should be fixed and unl- form lke the pound welght, or the yard stick. And that was just what Hamilton and his colaborers thought when that clause of the Constitution was drafted which coupled the power to coin money and regulate the value to fix the standard of weights and meas- They knew that there must be a fixed clal_ transactions ‘would be attended and confused by unending uncertainties. And, therefore, although they could not make an absolute standard of value, yet they came as near to It as was possible by declaring that the value of the unit, or dollar, should be of the “value of the Spanish milled dol- lar as now (April 2, 1792.) current”—not as it might be current the next week, or the next year, or the next decade. but as cur- rent April 2, 17%2—and this was to be the value of the dollar—not of the gold or silver in the dollar—for all time to come, or until Congress should repeal the law, or make a new definition. Thus the-value of the dollar was to be wholly independent of the rise or fall in the value of gold or silver. They might continue to fluctuate, as they had in past ages, but the dollar, as defined April 2, 1792, was to remain fixed and unchanged, so that any one who entered into a time contract could always tell what he would have to pay at the end of one or twenty years, and never be. overwhelmed with “the ‘subtle and furtive increase” in the value of the dollar. ‘he dollar continued to be the unit of jue until the act of February 12, 1873, was passed, which unwisely made the gold dollar the unit of value, and stopped the coinage of the old silver dollar. A still further change occurred when the detinition of the value of the dollar was left of the Revised Statutes, approved June 1874, and was thereby repealed, leaving us ever since without any law fixing the value of the dollar. By those same Revised Statutes the old silver dollar was demonetized, so that it Was no longer a legal tender for anything. Here, then, was the beginning of our financial woes—leaving out of view the ter- rible contr ‘action of our circulating medium from 1867 to 1! Having no longer a defi- nition of the value of the dollar, the lump of gold called the gold dolar has been ris- ing in value since 1873, with the Enelish sovereign, until It is now worth one dollar — a half, as compared with all values in ‘These are the great and pertinent fact: Biplch ougnt to be seen and kept in mind in all. the efforts that are making to. bring about an adequate remedy for our terrible WM.

Meeting of the Music Committee— Work of the Subdivisions. The music committee of the Capitol cor- ner stone centennial held a meeting yester- day afternoon, Chairman Wm. A. Gordon presiding, and Mr. Turner acting as secre- tary. Dr. Frank T. Howe, chairman of the subcommittee on chorus, read two detailed reports from Prof. Cloward showing the Progress that had been made in organizing the grand festival chorus which will par- ticipate in the exercises, from which it ap- pears that twelve of the subconductors had | organized their forces, and that a total of 549 singers were ready for rehearsal. This | number Is divided as follo: orth cen- tral division, 50; Capitol Hill, 90; east cen- tral, 30; northeast, 50; north, 10); Anacostia, 2%; Eckington, 24; Tako 40; Rockville, 24; Le Droit Park, 50; Falls Church, 2, and Alexandria, 41. In some of these divisions rehearsals have already commenced, and in all the greatest enthusiasm is manifested. Some of the Divisions. Mr. 8. H. Jecko has selected Miss Flor- ence Reynolds as accompanist and Miss Emma Baliman as secretary. The rehear- sals of this section will be held on Wednes- day evenings at Trinity Church. Mr. E. D. Tracy's division will meet at his residence, No. 1508 9th street northwest, and Mrs. Tracy will be the accompanist. The Anacostia division, under the leader- {ship of Mr. J. A. Roeder, has two rehear- To- night this division will be visited by Prof, Cloward, who will commence his work of supervision. Chairman Howe of the chorus committee ‘will also go to Anacostia to- night. Director Karl L. Kimball, in charge of the Falls Church’ division, ‘has appointed Miss Addie Spofford as secretary and Miss Ida Ball as accompanist. ‘The north central division, under the di- rection of Prof. George W. Lawrence, held @ meeting at the Mt. Vernon M. E. Church, corner 9th and K streets northwest, last evening. There were fifty voices present, and Prof. Lawrence {s satisfied that by the next rehearsal this number will be increas: ed to 100. The rehearsal was very satisfac- Prof. Lawrence has selected Miss Whitford as secretary and Mr. F. Ed- Ward as accompanist. The Alexandria Choirs. On Monday next over seventy Alexan- aria singers will assemble at Peabody Hall, under the lead of Prof. T. D. Gambrill, to begin thelr training for the chorus of 1,000 voices at the corner stone centennial As was anticipated by The Star, no di culty whatever has been found in obtain- ing the voices for the occasion. Most of the leading singers of Alexandria have vo! unteered, and the superintendent of pub- Ue schools has granted the use of one of the best halls in the city for the purpose. Prof. Gambrill will be the leader, and Mi L. W. House, a young lady well known in Washington, is the secretary of the chorus. The Band Music. At the meeting of the committee yester- day the two subcommittees on chorus and band music were consolidated, with Dr. ‘Howe as chairman, and a consultation will soon be had with Prof. Franciulli in regard to the part that the Marine Band shall take in the celebration. This band is the pride of every Washingtonian, and no celebra- tion Is complete without its presence. Un- der its present leadership it has not cnly maintained the high standard that it had already acquired, but has improved in the finer grade of work, so that it is now in better condition from an artistic stand- point than ever before in its history. The Balloon Ascension Proposal. The executive committee were yesterday visited by Prof. L. A. King of Philadelphia, who wished to submit estimates for a bal Joon ascension as one of the features of the celebratton. The committee listened to the proposals, and stated that if Prof. King would present them in writing they would be considered. The estimates for the cost of the ascension were $1,000 if the balloon Were filled with hydrogen and $600 {f coal gas were used. In the former case it is likely that a height of over two miles could be reached, but with coal gas the height would be much less. The Hoon that would be usd would be the same as that used in the Philadelphia ascension July 4. This is a 40,000-foot bag of silk, ornament- ed with bright scroll work, and with a wicker car capable of carrying four per- sons. SS MILLIONS IN THE TROLLO®Y. E w ingtom Pay Its Tribute. The representatives of the trolley inter- ests who have succeeded generally in other cities in getting about everything they wanted, by controlling municipal governments, evidently regard Congress as a body to be as easily made subservient to their plans as any town council. Not- withstanding the declarations of Congress against trolleys and overhead wires in the capital city, they seem to have no doubt of their ability to secure legislation that will permit them to disfigure the streets of Washington with a cheap, unsightly and dangerous railroad system. The big street railroad syndicate which has already secured control of much of the street rail- Toad property here and is represented ar figuring to get more, looks to the trolley to turn its deal into a source of great profit, ‘The interests of capitalists representing millions of dollars, and controlling railroad properties in several great cities, as well as those of the electrical companies, are combined in the effort to make Washington pay a rich tribute to the trolley—a tribute not of money only, but of human life, and a sacrifice of the beauty of its streets. With such influences at work and with only the general interests of the people on the other side, it 1s not surprising that trolley men express confidence in the suc- cess Of their conspiracy against the capital city. Their confidence 1s great enough even to affect public officers, for Superintendent Miles of the fire glarm telegraph service, in a letter to the Commissioners the other day, made suggestions looking to the use of the trolley poles for supporting District wires, Mr. Miles expressed the bellef that the introduction of the trolley was not only possible, but probable. Mr. Miles, when asked by a Star reporter why he be- Heved it probable, said that he spoke only from general’ indications, as he be- lieved that the strongest kind of influence would be brought to bear on Congress in the interests of the trolley. He disclaimed any intention of indorsing the overhead trolley, for he believed it a dangerous thing. Such’ a plan as that proposed by M Miles, would only aggravate the trolley evil, if Congress, regardless of the public interests, finally’ ordained that the city should have: to suffer the evil. It would by adding a network of wires to the troliey increase the danger to life and property, which even without such an addition 1s so great a8 to make It a crime to place one In a crowded city street. Then if the trolley were permitted in the streets the People might still have some hope that Congress after seeing the result of its com- Plaisance might repent and in time order its removal, But if the trolley poles were incorperated into the city’s fire alarm and telegraph service {t would give the system almost an assurance of permanency. So Mr. Miles’ proposition, however innocently made, will undoubtedly meet with the favor of the trolley men, for no more adroit scheme could be devised, not only to secure the seeming approval ‘of the trolley by public officers, but to fasten the curse upon the city. # GRIEVANCES TO BE REMOVED. Result of Conferences Between Ralil- way Employes and Their Superiors. The result of the conference between Vice President Voorhees of the Reading, the superintendents of the Lehizh Valley and the grievance committee of the latter road last week at Bethlehem has been made known. The men get a number of concessions upon points which have been a source of annoyance to them. The engineers and firemen will not have to take care of en- gines at terminal points. Engineers jill get $2.70 a day the first six months, $3 per day ‘the second six months and $2.35 after that. rd and mine engineers will re- celve $3 per day. No employe will be sus- pended without a hearing, and, if blame- less of charges, will be paid for lost time. No employe be compelled to make another trip after twenty hours’ con- secutive work, except in cases of a wash- out or wreck. At relay telegraph offices when two or more operators are employed, ten hours shall constitute a day's work In other offices twelve hours shall be the limit. Other things being equal seniority shall have the preference. a THE COURTS, rt Equity Court-Justice Cole. Yesterday—C. F.Cummins agt. Nettle May Cummins; reference to examiner, J. A.

Many Guests Enjoying the Fresh Mountain Air and Pure Waters. POLAND SPRING HOUSE, Maine, August 9, 1898. Sitting on the broad veranda and looking out upon the beautiful landscape I some- times wonder if I am not in the interior of some vast cyclorama, such a perfect circu- lar view is presented of rolling hills, dense forests, shining mountain lakes and in the distance the majestic peaks of the White mountains forty miles away. Jt seems as if reality and painting are blended, though one cannot tell just where is the dividing line. Though we hear of excessive heat in various parts of the country here at fair Poland there is no complaint on that score. We have here all varieties of weather, but each place brings its own enjoyment. On warm mornings (tempered, however, with a cool breeze) the verandas and the adjoining grove are filled with loungers. On cooler mornings the charming walks winding through the woods, leading to the Indian camp, the lakes, the Mly pond or even as far as the Shaker village (two miles distant) are patronized, and in all these directions parties are met strolling slowly about, en- joying the various attractions and often stopping for rest and refreshment at the ring house. Here the Poland spring water, so well known all over the world, gushes through the rock in unending flo ‘The spring house gives a shelter to tho: who desire it, but benches and chairs on the green turf outside and under the grateful shade of oaks and maples are the favorite seats. Many are the drives in every direction and each pleasant morning victorias, dog carts, wagonettes, drags and phaetons drive ‘away filled with gay parties bound for the various points of interest in the nelghborhood—to the Shaker village, to Po-| land corners or to the famous kennels of | Mr. Pope, where prize dogs can be seen in| numbers, Over these beautiful hills in every direction are lovely drives through shady Sroves or over heights commaniing varied and ever changing scenes of beauty. Each | room by a Boston orchestra,proving a great attraction to all. The room is «lways filled with appreciative listeners to the best se- lections from the best composers, but never descending to so-called popular music. In the evening the same orchestra Turnishes delightful dance music to the taany young people to whom dancing is the unfailing occupation and amusement for the evening. As at all mountain resorts August 1s the favorite month for a sojourn at Poland, and the hotel is rapidly filling. ‘The beautiful colonial dining room will seat 500 people, T am told, and there are no vacant seats in It no} For the benefit and amusement of the | feminine guests here there are frequent fascinating displays of embroideries, hand- painted china, Turkish goods, &c., and | many are the pretty things bought and} tucked away in trunks, to be brought out | after the return to the city homes and placed where they will be most effective. Card playing is here, as at similar resorts | @ great resource, and every Friday evening | sees a progressive euchre party seated in the amusement room. I feel proud to chronicle the fact that on a recent Friday evening both first prizes were carried of by Washington ladies, one of them playing as a gentleman. Among the Washington people here now are Mr. and Mrs. Stell- wagen, Mrs. Hoeke and Miss Hoeke, Dr. and Mrs. Sowers, Miss Sowers and Mr. Wm. Sewers, Mrs. S. H. Kauffmann and Miss Kauffmann, Mrs, Rudolph Kauffman and daughter, Miss Sioussa, Mrs. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Smith, Dr. and Mrs. Smythe, Mrs. and Miss Wilson and Mr. Frank Vaughn. All parts of the country are represented here, the register showing names cf places: from Callfornia to Texas, but Bostonians and New Yorkers predominate. Many of the guests come year after year, greeting as old residents the late arrivals. Mayor Gilroy of New York, his wife and daughter have recently left after a ten days’ sojourn. Here is a famous whist player, Miss Whee- lock, who enjoys the distinction of having played with Cavendish. Whist in all its strictness ‘is in high favor here and every evening in the drawing room and writing room may be seen little tables, each sul rounded by four abstracted looking indi- viduals, enjoying, as Sarah Battle would say, “a clean hearth and the rigor of the game.” That reference to the hearth re-| minds me of the beautiful clear fires of oak and hickory which on every chilly morning or evening crackle and flame in the generous fireplaces in which the hotel abounds. On a rainy morning the women with che inevitable accompanying silk bag filled with embroidery gather >ound the fires in the office (for it bozsts two open fire- laces) and talk and work—(charming com- Bination of occupations to a feminine mind) finding an occasional obligatory stay in- doors as enjoyable as the temptations of Sunshiny weather. An amusement fund contributed by the gentlemen guests of the house provides frequent evening enter- tainments for the guests. We have con- certs, a male quartet from Boston, a most promising young girl violinist, who bids | fair to climb to a proud position in her) chosen art, and again an olla podrida of Sleight-of-hand combined with ventrilo- | quism, which gives the children (and the} elders, too) much amusement. So it goes. Here the complaint {s never heard, ‘there's | nothing to do.” For those athletically in- Clined there are base ball and tennis and | croquet, which seems to be a survival of the fittest and ts played here with great gusto by proficients In the ancient game. Fishing and boating are at hand on the lovely upper, middle and lower lakes. ij ‘Millionaires abound here, and the display of sumptuous garments and jewels of price is very marked. Many of the guests bring | their own horses and carriages, and about 0 o'clock every morning there is quite a procession of carriages dashing up to the | main entrance to receive their occupants and be off on the morning drive. Riding is | also indulged in to some extent. There are | a few invalids, but the majority of the guests are happy-faced pleasure seekers, for whom the stay at this charming resort passes all too quickly. ——— CAMP LUDLAM. IN The Ordway Rifles Drilling and Danc- ing by the Sea. respondence of The Evening § o ence of The CAMP LUDLAE, SEA ISLE CITY, N. J., August 10, 1693. Yesterday being Lieut. Jacobson’s birth- day anniversary, drill was suspended at his request, and the members of the com- ny were at liberty all day. Lieut. Btephan, Corps. Evans and Phillips and Privates Kiser, Hopkins, Galpin, Wagner ‘and Simpson took the trip to Atlantic City, where they spent the entire day. Supper was followed by dress parade and company drill, in both of which the company ac- quitted themselves with credit. About 8 o'clock the camp was serenaded by the Sea Isle City Cornet Band, Mr. Wm. Manahan, leader. The band is composed of fourteen young gentlemen from Sea onl be Li ares v lections with credit to Hauer Soon as the band had teft Lieut, Jacobson invited the boys into his tent to partake of refreshments In honor of his birthday. The Heutenant was assisted by Mrs. Harris, wife of one of the proprietors son aitributes the entire success of his OMttle affairs as he called it. Besides the members of the company there were quite | a number of ladies present from the Colon- ade. “ithe “air was ful! of It” last night, so to speak, for as soon as they could consist- ently leave Lieut. Jacobson and most of the members adjourned to the Excursion House, where a dance was in progress. Many members of the Ordways returned to camp exceedingly tired. Sergts. Orri- son, Sabin, Dickson, Corp. Perkins and Privates Kiser and Allen were caught run- ning the guard, and as a consequence will have to serve on guard duty Sunday. Pri- vate Wiler was caught out of lines without a pass and was put on extra duty during the night, the sergeant, thinking it better to give him something to do as long as he wanted to stay out. Reveille was followed almost immediately by fatigue call this morning, and by the time the men had their tents in order breakfast was ready. The men responde- to mess call much quicker than to drill call, many of them getting sick as soon the latter sounds. Breakfast was followed by about one hour's drill in the extended order on the beach, the tide being low, and the men acquitted’ themselves very credit- ably, using twenty rounds of blanks per man. About the time this drill was over a countryman with a wagon load of water- melons struck the camp, and had no diffi- culty in disposing of them. The board walk | and beach were patronized up to. dinner time and dinner was followed by afternoon drill, Lieut. Richmond being in command. This is the first time we have had_ after: | noon drill, and the men found it pretty hot on the beach, where, of course, there was no shade. This drill was ordered early so as to enable the men to enjoy the bathing at high tide, which is usually in the after: noon at the present time. Privatés Jacobs and Manning are slightly under the weather, but not seriously ill, and only have to keep out of drill, The day has been warm and the men” have stayed around camp to rest in order to be prepared for the hop at the Colonnade, to given this evening In honor of the com. pany. ‘The guard detail is Sergt. Gilbert, Corp. Perkins and Privates Manning, Fraser. Allen, Simpson, Jones and Gooding. 5 oe Spiritaalistic Delegates, — ~ At a meeting of the members of the First National Association of Spiritualists held at Liberty Hall, 202 5th street southeast, last night delegates to attend the nationai convention of spiritualists to be held in Chicago September 27. 28 and 29, 1893, were | elected, as follows: Mr. M.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP MOSHER, HARPER'S FERRY, W. Va. August 10, 1993. Reveille woke the boys as usual at 6 a. m. At 6:20 the roll was called, and then those of the company who had no revolver prac- tice with blanks yesterday were given a turn at it. After that the company was drilled for a short time. Lieut. Middleton had charge for a few minutes, and he is to be congratulated on his great improve- ment in commanding the company. Only one of the expected “two brand-new, juicy” orders was forthcoming, however. There was no signaling done during the day, but tonight the flash lanterns were tried upon the campus with entire success. Another basket of pigeons arrived, and they just got here in time, as the last were released yesterday, None’were sent off to- y. Lieut. Middleton took a squad up to Rat- tling Springs and got more gabion material, and another gabion was constructed. The lieutenant conscripted a sufficient number of girls to enable his squad to march in column of twos without endangering the length of the column. It seems that the Meutenant handles his squad a great deal better when it is half composed of ladies Sergt. Chandler carried up a thermometer, with which to find the altitude of Rattling Springs. A squad commenced revolver practice about 11 o'clock with ball cartridges, and he result was fairly satisfactory. 1t was snap shooting (no aim), according to the re- quirements of Blunt's manual. Corp. Stew- ard did very well, succeeding in hitting the target eight out ‘of twelve shots. This is good, considering the conditions of the shooting and the ttle practice which bas been had. Private Freeman had the squad in constant communication with the camp by means of a Charlorrois telephone. of wire. This telephone is as yet an exneri- ment, but its success today was complete. Private Tegethoft began his instruction in tying of ropes. He learned the business on board of one of Uncle Sam’s warships, and he hopes soon to have the whole company masters of It. Private Stevens ming race todry, roposed having a swim- ut was not able to get our in time. He gave a practical demonstra- Uon of the proper method—the main points only—of resuscitation. Sergeant Lichty was the victim and supposed to have been drowned, or nearly so, but he could not Keep up the pretense. When, acting accord- ing to Instructions, one of the men grabbed his tongue and began to yank it out on one | side, the sergeant rebelled, and it is said that he uttered some swear words. This is thought, however, to be a mistake. Private Stevens’ also earned a life saver's medal by | h excurstonist, who | Hf avling out a picnic stepped off of a rock into water beyond his depth and came very near drowning. His name was not learned. He said his foot Was caught betwen two stones, but the | trouble evidently was that he could not swim, as the water was too deep for his head ‘to show above it if his feet been on the ground. Corpl. Steward began his photographic surveving. He took in the topography around three points. ‘The railroad engineering work was tem- porarily stopped for awhile by the break- ing of the chain. It was miserably hot out in the fields, and it is thought the heat caused the accident. It ts all right, now. however, and work will be resumed to- morrow. The boys reveled in chicken and ice cream for dinner today. Mrs. Lightner certainly deserves credit for her splendid management of the house. The boys ac- praise to all the arrangements. The fare is substantial, wholesome, excel- lent. everything done “just to a turn, Although as an organization company C, engineer corps, Is very. modest. there one marked exception, taken as individual One of us cannot recline his dainty form upon an ordinary cot.

One ‘of us cannot guess at the part in his hair. He must have a mirror. One of us cannot curl his mustache with his fingers. He must have curl papers. And now, as a fitting climax, Sergt. Schneider has had his picture taken. Oh, ye vanity of ye poor mortals! Parade drill was performed in fine shape tonight. The company was put through several evolutions while at double quick, and with a single exception they were executed in a first-class manner. The Arion Society gave a ball tonight in Jonadab Hall. Several of the boys went ly over and enjoyed themselves fairly well. A good sized company was present. Taps at 10:30. —>__ The Buckingham Improved. ‘The owner, Mr. A. L. Bliss, of the Buck- ingham, McPherson Square, has expended over $20,000 in enlarging and improving the property. The exterior presents a striking appearance, having been painted in artistic colors. Steam heating apparatus of the most modern kind has been introduced, to- gether with sanitary plumbing, electric ap- pliances and all the modern improvements to make the hotel worthy of the first-class location it occupies.

Mayor Boody of Brooklyn has written to Secretary Herbert in reply to his communt- cations of February 21 and August 5 re- lating to the act of Congress to provide for the sale of navy yard lands in the city of Brooklyn on December 22, 1892, giving notice of Such purchase as required by sec- tion four of the act of Congress. Accom- panying the letter the mayor sent copies of the act passed by the state legislature and the common council in regard to the purchase.
