The Charge Brought Against Painter Robert Downing. ‘This morning about 12:20 o'clock, on i¢th street northwest between Q and Corcoran streets, a drunken painter, named Robert Downing, caused considerable excitement by going to his wife's house and attempt- ing to break in the door. Mrs. Downing was in bed at the time, but the nolse made by her husband aroused her and she screamed “Police” at the ton of her voice. She had only been in the house a short while, having spent the day with her xister at Colonial Beach. Fortunately Policeman Owen Cooney of the third precinct was in the neighborhood at the time and he ar- rested the intoxicated man. The officer was acquainted with his prisoner, as he had arrested him on a previous occasion, on a warrant for threats toward his wife. He was then put under bonds to keep the peace and since that time a sepuration has taken place. When the officer had lanJed Downing in the station he returned to the house and was surprised to find the wife ready to make a charge of attempted murder her husband. t appears that since the separation { Mrs. Downing has been working hard to keep her family together. Her husband was anxious to return, but she would not have anything to do with him. Several times since the separation he has been at the house,and yesterday during her absence he was there. As already stated, he was considerably under the influence’ of liquor, and_ before reaching home he purchased a box of “Rough on Rats.” This poison, it is charg- ed, he attempted to administer to his wile by putting it where he thought, she would take a dose of it. In the wife's bed cham- ber, beside her bed, on a table, was kept @ cup and pitcher of water at night, and it had been the wife's custom when she was aroused during the night to take a drink of water or give some to her children when they asked for it, and when taking a drink in ‘the dark she of course could not tell whether anything except the water was in the cup or not. But ast mght she had the gas burning after the trouble with her husband and when she poured some water In the cup she made the discovery that something had discolored it. She at onze becam suspic- fous and then finding the half-filled box of the deadly poison, “Rough on Kats,” she naturally concluded that the coloring mat- ter in the cup had been taken froin the box. The cup was turacd over to the officer and an additional charce of nttempt- ed wife murder was preferred against the husband. This morning Officer Corey took the cup containing the mixture to poise headquart- ers and later in the day he took it over to the Agricultural Departme it for analysis, ‘To a Star reporter the prisoner sald he purchased the poison at a Irag store und took it to the house, saying he thought he would have ‘some fun with his wife and would perhaps frighten her. The case of alleged attzrapt to kill his wife was continued and he was sent to Jail. —- HE WANTS DAMAGES. His Bill Shows a Remarkable History Stretching Back for Years. Henry Johnson has, by J. McD. Carring- ton and ¥. M. Dorsey, entered a sult against the Columbia Railway Company for $5,000 damages, received by being thrown from a car at Sth street and Massachusetts avenue by reason of the car being started as he was alighting on August 4, by which he was cut, bruised, etc. Appended is an affidavit of Johnson that he was born in Georgetown on Christmas day in the year 1900; was hired out to Gen. Walter Smith, who commanded the militia at the battle of Bladensburg; was captured by Capt.

Kernan's Lyceum Theater.—A_ bright, breezy show is giving satisfaction to the patrons of Kernan’s Theater this week. Sam T. Jack's company of clever specialty People and good looking girls appears in a new bill, which combines the olio features that are expected in a variety performance, with a touch of genuine farce as well as burlesque. “The Female Beauty” and “My Unele from New York” both have lots of fun in them, and the numerous opportuni- tes for specialty interpolation are made the most of. After the regular performance in the theater, Miss Clara Beckwith gives her remarkable swimming exhibition which aroused so much interest in New York, and which is pronounced by all who see it one of the most meritorious and novel artiletic exhibitions witnessed in many years. Helen Russeli's English Sports will make their first appearance at Kernan’s Lyceum ‘Theater next week. The entertainment will include an original nautical farce, an Inter- esting olio and a lively burlesque, all of which possess the merit of freshness. The company includes a number of pretty bur- lesquers, noted alike for their charms and Versatility. Miss Clara Beckwith, the champion ‘natatress, has been re-engaged for the summer garden, and will repeat her swimming exhibitions. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—Harris’ Theater will open next Monday night, bright and in- viting, after the thorough attention of the scene’ painter and decorator. Mr. Gordon Harris will resume the local management and a new curtain will be rung up on one of the most successful melodramas now before the public, “The Midnight Alarm.” The play has had the benefit of Mr. Leander Richardson's excellent taste in its construc- tion, and the manager, A. Y. Pearson, has left nothing undone to make its presenta- | tion realistic and attractive. The story shOws the bright and dark sides of life in New York, the hero being a fireman. Elaborate scenery Is carried with the com- pany. Among the principal features in this line are the Brooklyn bridge scene, with boats plying in the East river, the draw- bridge scene and the engine house scene, in- troducing real horses.

Each blamed the other for the com- mission of the offense and each In turn called the other names to indicate that the truth was being handled very recklessly. They robbed the store of Harry Peters, No. 1721 7th street, taking a gold-filled water bird's cage, case of instruments and pocket- book.

Meeting of the Executive Oommittee Last Night, Participate— 1» Submitted lamination, Fireworks, &c. as to I- ‘There was another meeting of the Capl- tol centennial committee last evening at its headquarters on 10th street. There were present Messrs. Lawrence Gardner, 13. B. Hay, M. I. Weller, W. J. Frizzell, F. A. Lehman, Thos. Somerville, A. R. Spoftord, Marshall W. Wines, A. F. Sperry, Capt. Chas. F. Powell, Dr. J. M. Toner, and Gen. Duncan S. Walker. The meeting lasted an hour, and was devoted to the hearing of re- Ports from the different subcommittees, These showed that the work was in a well advanced stage, and much enthusiasm and interest was evinced. Mr. Gardner, chairman of the general committee, stated that he had received an offer from the Veteran Firemen’s Associa- tion of this city tendering their services toward the entertainment of other veteran firemen’s associations. He had referred a letter from the Brooklyn Veteran Firemen to them, Organteations That Will Participate. A number of communications from dif- ferent organizations were read, accepting the invitation to take part in the centen- nial celebration. Among them were letters from the Good Will Council, No. 9, Sons of Jonadab, Secretary George W. Bean. and from Capt. J. W. Eager of the Old Guard, Tenleytown Council, No. 46; St. John’s Col: lege, Anacostia ‘Tent, 108; Order of Recha- bites. ‘Phe governor’ of Virginia promised to be present if‘possible, but the governors of South Dakota and Nevada will not be able to come. A communication from the National Rifl. offering to assist in the ceremonies was also read. Mr. Spoffdra of the committee on ceremo- nies said that it would be a graceful thing to Invite a speech from one of the Senators and one from one of the Representatives, now that the congressional commission has been decided upon. He also suggested that the Supreme Court should be invited to se- lect a representative to take a part in the ceremonies. Both suggestions were well re- ceived and will probably be favorably acted upon. Mlamiaation and Fireworks. Mr. Lehman read the report of the com- mittee on illumination and fireworks. ‘Three bids had been submitted, said the chairman, from the Pain Fireworks Company of New York, the Consolidated Fireworks Company of New York and the St. Louis Fireworks Company of St. Louis. It was decided by the subcommittee that it would be best to accept the offer of the Consolidated com- pany, waich promised to give forty-four handsome effects for 32,000. An effort had been made to have the illu- mination of the dome of the Capitol a strik- | ing feature of the occasion, but the idea had | to be abandoned on account of the expense involved. To have a light at intervals of twelve inches would require 5.250 Incan- | descent Hghts at a cost of $5,000. They had | fallen back on the illumination of the God- | dess of Liberty and the pedestal, with 100) lights of 100 candle power, at a cost of $265. An elaborate design for the tllumination of the grounds at the east of the Capitol has | also been prepared. ‘This involves the use| of hundreds of gas Jets and flambeaux, and Would cost $1,673.05. Secretary Hay read a communication that he had received from the McShane Bell Company of Baltimore, in which Prof. James R. Gordon had offered his services and the use of a set of twelve chimes to be | played at appropriate times during the mu- sical exercises. The Proposed Balloon Ascenston. A formal proposition was also read from Prof. King, the aeronaut, for a balloon as- cension. The professor's charges are $000. He proposed to take up with him an ex- pert photographer and an official of the weather bureau, who would have an ex- cellent chance to make scientific observa- tions of meteorological conditions. He has also invited Mr. Weller, cheirman of the! bailoon committee, to go along. but Mr. Weller is a real estate man and is fearful | of a drop. The proposition from the aero- | Naut meets with a good deal of favor from | the committee and the weather bureau is | so much interested in the matter that it 1s uite possible a balloon ascension will be a feature of the centennial exercises, WASHINGTON GROVE. The Camp Mecting Starts Under Ex- tremely Auspicious Conditio: Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Aug. 15, 1593. Washington Grove camp meeting has at- tained its majority, and this evening's ini- tial service marks the twenty-first anni- versary. So long ago a praying band of Methodists, representing the churches of the District, came to this spot and pitched tents under these mighty oaks. It was then a veritable camp. Now it ts so called because the mighty hosts are most com- fortably sheltered within the artistic cot- tages that line the avenues. The pleasant whirr and buzz of prepara- tion that characterized the opening of camp fs noticeably absent. A few strange faces only are seen on the incoming trains. The people aze here, snugly housed and expectant, and have been so for days. ‘The grand old oaks are unchanged, and “Father Laney,” as hale and happy as he was a score of years ago, came promptly to his post and rang out the vesper call at 7:30 o'clock this evening. ‘The tabernacle was soon filled, and before 8 o'clock the choir burst forth in a triumphant chorus, “I Am Redeemed, Praise the Lord.” J. Henzy Wilson of Dumbarton Avenue led a strong chorus of twenty voices, sup- rted by Mr. Tracy, violinist, and Mr. Hluteninson, organist. Revs. Richard Norris, Joel Brown, Rob- ert Moore, H. Clay Smith and Wm. ‘Evans were on the stand. After reading of the Scriptures by Rev. Joel Brown b:. Norris announced his text, Zach. 4, 6, 7, “Not by might, nor by, power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord.” It was an earnest appeal to the church ‘to co-operate with God and allow His spirit to work in and through them to the saving of others. At the con- clusion of the sermon the altar place was filled with those seeking fuller conse- eration. A mighty revival of religion {s indicated by the intense interest of this service. Dr. Norris is well beloved by the sofonrnerg here, and is a revivalist of great power. His ‘family arrived this evening and are quartered in Dr. Naylor's cottage, corner of Circle end Sth avenue.
