An Obstruction the Canal Needs Removal—Police Affairs and Other News From West Washington. On Saturday night there was a big bluze on the wharf right in the midst of millions of feet of lumber. Charles R. Schutt's kindling wood factory and planing mill were the buildings that suffered. Owing to their isolated position the flames had made good headway before they were discovered. When the alarm was turned in, though, not only No. 5 engine, but No. 1 from Wash- amazing. The Georgetown fire fighter t the 20th and K street plug to her Wash- ington assistant and threw her own hose into the Potomac. After two streams had been thrown upon the flames for over an hour they lost their destructive power, sputtered and died, but not before probably ¥,500 worth of damage had been done. Had a wind been blowing at the time of the fire it is thought by the firemen that both the surrounding lumber yards would have been burnt out of existence. ‘The fire is said to have been the work of an incendiary, as not a spark had been left im etther building, every fire having been carefully extinguished on the closing down hour. There was no insurance on the build- ins. Death of Mr. Potts. Mr. George M. Potts of Frederick, uncle of Mra. Wm. Woodville of 2909 Q street, died on Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in the eighty-seventh year of his age.

Yesterday while the water was drawn | off Rock creek by the opening of the gates at its mouth several men were employed | im pumping out the sunken canal boat | which for several years has been a re- ceptacle for garbage near the M street bridge in the hope of making It rise to the surface that it might be floated away and destroyed. ‘The desired effect was not ac- complished, though. as the old boat had be- come too firmly imbedded in the mud. The wreck les right at the mouth of one of the town’s principal sewers and receives and retains the heaviest of its discharge, flushing of the creek not effecting it. Police Affairs. After being put off two of the Tenley- town electric cars for drunkenness and dis- orderly conduct Samuel Lyles was last night locked up at the seventh precinct station and given a chance to be hilarious without disturbing the peaceful George- towners. ‘A well-dressed colored man about sixty- five years of age was found on Saturday night by Officer Howard wandering atm- lessly about town. He could give no ac- count of himself, and it was deemed advis- able to take him to the station. There he was kept in a private room until his friends, who reside in the first ward, were nottied. At the junction of the Tenleytown and Loughborough roads on Saturday night an intoxicated colored man was struck by a car and knocked down and cut. Dr. Slay- maker pronounced the hurts not serious, however. Personals and Notes.

It will do as a text to fllustrate the consuming wretchedness of the unem- ployed, especially in contrast with the agri- cultural classes. The farmers, notwith- standing the panic and drouth and low prices, are still free from suffering like this, nor do they become either anarchists or rioters, a menace to the peace of others. is {t not feasible for Congress to divert those vast sums usually given to rivers and harbors and to public buildings in obscure towns toward the endowment of a loan poor to become self-supporting farmers upon our free lands, the fund to remain a len on land so fostered? ‘A million of dollars and free transporta- tion would supply tools and seed and a winter's ration to ten thousand families. We feed the Indians and they never get away from the government trough. Why not give our own people a start to a better life than the crowded city offers? Commerctal life, with its Ic eras of prosperity, has depleted the rural com- munities of its best people, and now they cannot get back.

Rehearsals in the Various Divisions Progressing Satisfactorily. ‘The work of assembling the grand chorus which 1s to participate in the Capitol cen- tennial celebration 1s progressing in the most satisfactory manner. Prof. Clowerd, the general director, on Friday night at- tended the rehearsal of the northeastern di- vision, of which Mr. J. H. Hunter has charge, and found over 100 well-balanced voices. This chorus now ranks second in point of numbers and among the best as to quality of tone and balancing of voices. ‘The northwestern division held tts sirst re- hearsal under its director,-Mz. Donald B. MacLeod, last Friday night in the Eptscopal Church, on 23d street. As this division is now the result of the consolidation of the western and northwestern divisions, Prof. Cloward has suggested the «dvisability of alternating the place of rehearsal between, the 23d street church and one further into the northwestern section. Mr. MacLeod will carry out this suggestion as soon as a desirable piace for rehearsal van be secured, ‘The north central division, under Mr. G. W. Lawrence's direction, 1s progressing finely, and at its last rehearsal had seventy- eight ‘members enrolled. So far as the Anacostia chorus is con- cerned Mr. John A. Roeder is getting his force in excellent shape. Mr. Geo. Godron has held his first rehear- sal in the southwestern division and started with an excellent attendaace considerins the difficulties that have beea encounter: in this section, Br, Tracey, the conductor of the northern division, has found it necessary to secure the Hamline M. E. Church for his rehear- sals, so great has been the increase in at- ten ice in his division. The choruses that heid rehearsals Satur- day night were those in Rockvill> and Ta-| koma, under the leadership of Messrs. Heze- kiah ‘Trail and Theodore Friebus, jr., re-| | spectively. “I am laying plans,” sald Prof. Cloward to 8 Star reporter today, “for my first combi- nation rehearsal, which will take place next Wednesday evening in the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, corner 4 1-2 and B streets southeast. The force will consist of what may be termed the East Washington division, including Capitol Hill and the northeast, Anacostia, Eckincton and the southwest. I expect to have over three hun- dred voices and to find them in fair shape, even though some have had bu: one re- hearsal. ‘Mr. James Watson has found it Impos:l- ble to give the proper attention to the Mt. Pleasant section, although he would be glad to do so if ‘circumstances would per- mit. He has therefore been compelled to resign as assistant director, and Professor Cloward has placed this division in charze of Mr. Fred A. Grant, who went to M in the work of organization. Mr. Somerville, the prest- dent_of the Mt. Pleasant Choral Soctery, left Saturday for a two weeks’ trip, but be- fore going arranged for the prominent mem- bers of his society to meet Mr. Grant, and the work will now go rapidly forward. Tonight Mr. Walker McArthur will hold the first rehearsal of the central division in the Con; tional Church, corner 10th and G streets. Mr. McArthur {s the director of the Y. P. 8. C. E.

He Tried to Climb a Telegraph Pole, jut Was Shor There were sixty-five dogs in the pound this morning, many citizens having taken their canines there because of the action of the police in giving notice to procure tags or go to the court. The pound is getting too small, says Poundmaster Einstein in a letter to Health OMcer Hammett, in which he makes recommendations concerning needed improvements. In his report of the work done last week Poundmester Ein-| stein says that 152 dogs, 2 horses, 2 steers | and 1 mule were captured and 136 dogs were | Kilied. The mule appears to have made a record as a kicker and gave more trouble than all the other animals. ‘This particular animal, says the poundmaster, was crazy. “He actually tried to climb’ a telegraph reporter. “The animal broke away from the bazar and had to be killed.” a A GAS EXPLOSION. Four M Were Burned, Two of Them Quite Badly. About 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon a serious accident took place at the Swiss steam laundry on E between 2st and 224 streets northwest, by which four young men were burned. The gas in the furnace ex- | ploded and two men, Jerome Lawler of 2100 | E street and Joseph Mann of 915 Virginia avenue southwest, were badly burned about the face and hands, and Paul Rigsby and A.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Aug. 20, 15%. At an early hour this morning vehicles from the surrounding country began to ar- rive and continued throughout the day to pour in in great numbers, notwithstanding the extremely dusty roads. The morning and afternoon trains brought in from Washington, and points along the line, hundreds more, swelling the crowd to at least 5,000. The best of order prevalled throughout the day, in striking contrast to some of the former years and making the duties of the officers an easy task. ‘There was an air of quietude on “Political Hill” owing to the fact that there are no political “axes to grind” as has always been, prior to and during camp in past years, ‘The attendance at the religious services were never better, the temple being taxed to its utmost capacity during the whole day. Meetings were also held under the trees at different points on the grounds and were well attended. The much-needed and gernestly wished-for refreshing show- er did not visit us on Saturday and, with this exception, it has been in every re- spect a perfect day at Washington Grove. ‘The 9 o'clock praise and testimony ser- vice was under the conduct of Rev. Rich- ard Norris. It was made up largely by the county contingent, who had arrived early by vehicles. About 100 testified to a Christ- jan experience. ‘The morning congregation overflowed the auditorium. Messrs. Cissel, Gartrell, Achey and Calhoun acted as ushers and ‘courte- ously seated the first arrivals. Dr. Oliver Brown of Foundry preached an able ser- mon. choosing for his text ““To whom shall veg ‘or Thou hast the words of eter- ‘The ladies meeting, led by Mrs. Clara Roach, and the children’s service were much enjoyed and full of interest. Rev. Samuel Cummings of the Baltimore conference held the attention of a large cqpgregation at the afternoon service. "he overflow meeting on the outskirts of the encampment attracted many, and was gonducted by Wm. R. Woodward and Mr. Percy Foster, whose singing was profound- ly, enjoyed. ‘The evening service was the climax of a Slorioun day. Dr. Hugh Johnston talked with much unction and power of the divine inspiration of the Book of books. The doctor is a mighty defender of the faith and a most pular preacher. Rev. Oliver Brown fol- lowed with a plain and forcible word of warning to the “foolish virgins” and their frivolous escorts that stood about the out- skirts of the tabernacle. Mr. P. Foster sang, acceptably “Throw Out the Life Line.” Four penitents came to the altar of prayer. Three were converted. There were two conversions at the Sat- urday night service, the fruit of the earn- est labor of Rev. C. L. Pate, who preached faithfully to a large congregation of “the one thing thou lackest. Mrs. Richard Norris arrived at head- quarters on Saturday evening. Mr. Wm. Mayse and wife were also among the arrivals. Miss Ellie Poole of Poolesville is here with her brother, Prof. Glen Poole, who is the most popular cornetist of the grove H. H. Trombly and Mrs, D. T. Cissel are guests at the cottage of 8. C.

Rev’ Henry and family of Gaithersburg spent the Sabbath here. Mr. H. P. Lamson, wife and son of Wash- ington were visiting friends in camp today. se EXCURSIONS, Capt.

The site selectel is the beautiful ground Just in front of the resi- dence of Mrs. John A.

G. Hensey, | ALEXANDRIA, An Outrageous Assault. On Saturday night last about 11:30 o'clock Mrs. Bland, the wife of one of the man- agers of a New Alexandria factory, had occasion to go into the back yard of her dwelling, which adjoins on King street Bauer's bakery, on the corner of King and Payne streets. The yard is dark and in a very short time she found herself , her arms pjnioned and her mouth gagged with a handkerchief. She uttered a scream, which was muitied by the handkerchief, as the two men who had attacked her bore her to the ground. Meanwhile her husband, hearing a noise in the back yard, called the police and hastened into the yard. where e and his brother-in-law, Mr. Clark, who had also arrived, found Mrs. Bland with a handkerehief tied over her mouth. The men who had attacked her had become frightened and escaped. Mrs. Bland was unbound and carried into the house. Since that time she has been quite ill. Mr. W. Gilbrotzer and Mr. F. M. Chase’ observed last week several suspicious looking men wandering at night in the neighborhood of Bauer's bakery and had given warning to the Misses Bauer, sinc which time a watch has been kept. As a fire occurred in that neighborhood ‘on Saturday morning it is thought that some tramps, attracted to the fire in the hope of plunder, lingered there- abouts until after nightfall and made the assault on Mrs. Bland. Old and New Ways at a Fire. ‘The extinguishment of the fire on Com- merce avenue, as telegraphed to The Star on Saturday, was made by the use of the various means, new and old, for terminat- ing conflagrations. The steamers sur- rounded the fire with walls of Mt. Cameron water. The hook and ladder company men were busy everywhere with their axes and hooks pulling down frames that would else have spread the fire. The lttle ‘chemical engines were made ready for use in the in- terior of some of the threatened houses on the borders of the flames. The most nota- ble method was, however, the use of the old-fashioned line with fire buckets from a ump. The old house on King street ad. joining the railroad hotel, had its roof set ‘on fire in many places by the falling sparks. At once @ line was formed carrying buckets from @ pump on King and Commerce streets, and ascending a relief ladder to the threatened roof, where some young firemen deluged each of the places where the roof was on fire, and by keeping the roof wet saved that section from a new fire.

The funeral of Mrs. Honora Eagan took place this morning from her late home on Queen street between Royal and Pitt streets. The funeral proceeded to St. Mary’ Church, and after a requiem mass by Fath- er Cutler the remains were interred at Church street cemetery. Rev. J. H.

Now It is the Sixth Battalion W! Camping There. CAMP CECIL CLAY, HARPER'S FERRY, W.Va, Aug. 20, 1598. ‘The main body, consisting of companies C and D of the sixth battalion, arrived here at 8 p.m. of the 19h, in consequence of which the whole settlement has assumed a lively appearance. The happtest times Harper's Ferry ever had is beginning to materialize and for the next ten days these glorious and historic hills will echo and re- echo with noise so much like that which made the memory of this place i:nmortal, but yet under so different circumstances. ‘There was nothing to mar the happiness of the boys on their arrival, save, per- haps, the excessive dust, as rain has not fallen here for weeks past. Many of the en were hungry, having mis: su v home. They expected to get something to eat at the hotel. It was too late, how- ever, and the consequence was a run (some- thing like the banks have nowadays) on the neighboring grocery stores. Private Butts learning that the grocery stores had sus- pended, made a mad rush on the post of- fice for something to eat. The advance guard is receiving a great deal of deserved praise for their skill and dispatcH in ar- Fenging and building the city of tents. The dust-begrimed and foot-sore boys were very thankful, for they had nothing to do but to move into their respective tents, Quite a number of our boys have already made the acquaintance of a goodly number of exceeding: Pleasant ladies visiting at the Summit House.

He Captured the Fowls, but an Officer Captured Him. Policeman W. T. Anderson of the Ana- costia sub-station had a tiresome duty to perform yesterday when he made an arrest of an alleged negro burglar. Several nights ago a long-armed burglar visited the hen- nery of Mr. Tracy in Good Hope Park and carried off ten valuable chickens. There were no loose feathers found about the place, nor were there any blood stains, so that the officers were of the opinion that the fowls were carried off alive. Their opinion in this regard was soon verified, for the owner of the fowls found them where a negro named William H. West had sold them. Then Policeman Anderson started out to find West. The latter kept away from his home, and yesterday when the officer called he had just returned to dinner. Out through the window went will when the officer appeared at the door. He took to the woods, but the officer followed him and going through the bushes the fugitive lost his shirt, leaving him with only his trousers to protect him. When the officer finally captured him he held him by the seat of his trousers and thus the pair walked for two miles to the police station. Before the Police Court this morning the negro. ap) in the role of a genuine burglar and Judge Mills held him in $300 security for the action of the grand jury. dieeraling Retaliating tpon French Priests. The anti-French agitation started in Rome, owing to the massacre of Itallans at Agiues-Mortes, has gained ground rapid- ly since the first demonstrations were made Saturday. Late Saturday evening a mob attacked’ the Santa Chiara seminary of French priests, tore down the escutcheons from the facade, trampled them under foot, smashed the windows and tried to force the doors. Further damage was prevented by @ strong force of police, who dispersed the mob and guarded the seminary until late last evening. A company of police are sta tloned at the French embassy, as the anti- French tators have threatened to sack it.
