On Saturday night there was « big bluse 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 inade good headway before they were discovered. When the alarm was turned in, though, not only No. 5 engine, but No. 1 from Wash: | ington responded with a promptness that | Was amazing. The Georgetown fire fighter | left the 20th and K street plug to her Wash- | iuston assistant and threw her own hose | into the Potomac. After two streams had jw | 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 in either 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.

To Remove an Obstraction. 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 lies 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 dls- 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 ai 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 nouried.

Harris’ Bijou Theater.—Every prepara- tion has bees made to give the patrons of Harris’ Bijou Theater a pleasant welcome | and a meritorfous entertainment this even- ing. “The Midnight Alarm” has been se-| lected as the play which will be presented at this theater, as It now stands, fresh from the hands of the painter, decorators and scenic artists. The play has a wealth | of interest and ‘s mounted in a realistic fashion by its manager, A. Y. Pearson. | Among the scenic features are the fire en- gine scene, Introducing real horses, the liv. ing statue clock, the East river dock, with Brooklyn bridge in the distance. It is one of the most clatorately equipped of the realistic productions now before the public, and the success which {t has heretofore en. joyed Is assurance of its worth as a populai amusement.

The life of a poor farmer ts hard enough, but he is never seen on the highways asking for food, nor depending on his wife's needle for bread. His home may be shabby and his coat worn, but he hes enough to eat.

Every vegetable and cereal | worth planting will spring into luxuriant life on these arid plains, where rain rarely falls, but where the sweet breath and waters of the “Rockies” bring health and comfort to the poorest fe oom besides the free git of grouse and deer.

Rehearsals in the Various Divisions Progressing Satisfactorily. ‘The work of assembling the grand chorus which ts to participate in the Capitol cen- tennial celebration {s progressing in the most satisfactory manner. Prof. Clowerd, the general director, on Friday nicht a tended the rehearsal of the northeastern dl- vision, of which Mr. J. H. Hunter has charge, and found over 100 well-balanced volces. 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 Uptscopal 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 cdvisability of lternating 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 place for rehearsal van be secured. ‘The north central division, under Mr. G. v. Lawrence's direction, ‘ts progresl finely, and at its last rehearsal had seventy- eight bers enrolled. So tar as the Anacostla chorus ts 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 considering the difficulties that have beea encountered, in this section. 3Mr. Tracey, the conductor of the northern division, has’ found it necessary to secur the Hamline M. E. Church for his rehea sals, so great been the increase in at- tendance in his division. ‘The choruses that heid rehearsals Satur- day night were those in Rockvilly and Ta- koma, under the leadership of Messrs. Heze- kiah "Trail and Theodore Friebus, jr. re- spectively. “I am laying plans,” said Prof. Cloward to @ Star reporter today, “for my ‘first combi- nation rehearsal, which will take place next ednesday 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 Impossi- 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 Nt. Pleasant Saturday night to in the work of organization. Mr. Somerville, the presi- dent_of the Mt. Pleasant Choral Soctety, 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 divixion in the Congregational Church, corner 10th and G streets. Mr. McArthur {s the director of the Y. P. S.C. E. Society of the District, and will receive valuable ald from that | source, and besides he has one of the most Popular sections to draw from. It ts ex- ‘ted that this division will furnish the | gest chorus in_hand. Other divisions that will rehearse toni.rht will be those in Alexandria, Falls Church and_ Hyattsville. At the latter place Mr. J. A. Roeder ts confident of securing a chorus of at least fitty good voices. One attraction of his rehearsals is that he has for accom- Paniment a flute, violin and plano. The western division will hold a rehearsal tonight at the parish hall of St. Paul's Church on 23d street, and the director, Mr. Macleod, expects that there will be a good attendance. when the work gets fairly ——— ALEX. MILNER’S FUNERAL. The Victim of Saturday's Accident to Me Buried Today. The funeral of Alexander Milner, the stone mason who was killed Saturday aft- ernoon at the Richmond and Danville bullding, announced in a postscri; Star, will occur this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the late residence of the deceased in Eckington. Mtiner and his associates who | were employed in the construction of the addition to the Richmond and Danville building had just completed work for the, - Samuel Miller, the foreman, and Mil- ner were still on the top of the building talking, the former being yexted on a stone near the edge cf the roof. The deceased had {ust finished setting je stepped to the of the roof and was examining his work when his weight overbalanced the stone and he was thrown | to the ground, five stories below. He struck | on his head ‘and was immediately killed, the face being crushed and the skull mashed to nothing. The falling stone carried others with it. Each of them weighed about 500 pounds, and they wrecked the steps and basement where they fell. The accident created con- siderable excitement. as it was at first thought that others had been killed and injured, but it was found that the only other person to be hurt was A. A. Marstel- ler. a clerk in the Richmond and Danville office. He was just leaving the bullding when one of the falling stones struck his leg, injuring it severely. family of the deceased, conkisting of the widow ‘and two children, are left in most destitute circumstances, having no one on whom to depend for support. A number of stone cutters have started a subscription for the benefit of the family. A committee of the stone cutters, Arthur | H. Darr, Wilfred Brown and Charlies Dyet have the matter in charge. Subscriptions may be left at Hancock's restaurant. A CRAZY MULE. He Tried to Climb a Telegrayh Pole, but Was Shot. 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 Officer 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. actually tried to climb’ a telegraph pole,” the chief dog catcher said to a Star reporter. “The animal broke away from the bazar and had to be Killed.” Eien S88 A GAS EXPLOSION. Four Men 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. B, Read, who rushed in to ald in putting out the fire, were each slightly burned. Dr. B. A. Capehart attended them, and’ they were sent to their homes. ———— Silver and the Rule of Three.

Permit a humble seeker after knowledge to ask any of them, or all of them, how. in the event of our abandoning the present ingle gold standard, which we practically have in our foreign exchanges, the propos. tion is to be maintained? For example, if I buy und's worth of British gumizups (we will say, for the sake of simplicity must reduce the invoice to Federal moncy, 90 my indebtedness to the foreigner is $1.26 im our money.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Aug. 20, 15m. 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. ‘Thefe was an air of quietude on “Political Hill" owing to the fact that there are no political “axes to grind” as has always en, 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 earnestly 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 vice was under the conduct of Rev. Ric ard Norris. It was made up largely by the count contingent, who had arrived ty by vehicles. About 100 testified to a Ch 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 we co? For Thou hast the words of eter- | nal lite. ‘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 igregation at the afternoon service. “Wee 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 glorious: say. 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 gang 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.

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

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 vety short time she found herself seized, her arms pjnioned and her mouth gagged With a handkerchief. She uttered a scream, which was muttied by the handkerchief, as the two men who had attacked her bore her 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 aa 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 varlous 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 little ‘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 pump. ‘The old house on King street, ad- joining the railroad hotel, had its roof set on fire in many places by the falling sparks. Af once a line was formed carrying buckets from a pump on King and Gommerce streets, and ascending a relief ladder to the threatened roof, where some young firemen deluged each of the places where the roof eeping the roof wet was on fire, and by Saved that section from a new fire, Notes. Rev. R.S. W. Wood of Washington offi- clated in all the services at Grace Church yesterday. 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. Mai Church, and after a requiem mass by er Cutler the remains were interred at Church street cemetery. Rev. J. H. Schoy, long the pastor of the German Lutheran Church here, preached his farewell sermon there yesterday. During an affray near Waterloo, in Alex- andria county, John Knoxville was severely cut with a horseshoer’s knife by a black- smith named Johnson, a Se FERRY AGAIN. Now It is the Sixth Battalion W! Camping There. CAMP CECIL CLAY, HARPER'S FERRY, W.V1 The main body, consisting of companies: and D of the sixth battalion, arrived here at § p.m. of the 19th, in consequence of which the whole settlement has assumed a lively appearance. The happlest 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 men were hungry, having missed supper at 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 But learning that the grocery stores had 6u: pended, made a ‘mad rush on, the post o fice for something to cat. The advance guard Is receiving a great deal of deservel praise for their skill and dispatell in ar Ranging and building the ctty’of tents. The dust-begrimed and foot-sore boys were very thankful, for they had nothing to do but to move into theif respectt tents, Quite a number of our boys have already made the acquaintance of a goodly number of exceedingly pleasant ladies visiting at the Summit House. Camp Cecil Clay is directly on the banks and about 600 feet above the waters of the Shenandoah. It is very eee situated on the east side of the hotel, commanding @ magnificent view of three states. The churches Were well attended by the soldiers this morning. Camp was nearly deserted. Guard was posted immediately on the arrival of the semi-battalion, though discipline must needs have been slack. When taps sounded “good night, pleasant dreams,” most of the boys were wrapped in peaceful sleep. At 5: a.m. reveille an- nounced co the slumbering warriors the be- inning of another day. Guard mount was eld for the first time this morning and the boys made a very creditable showing on the gllb grass in front of the hotel. Tleut. Atkinson is officer of the day and Lieut. Mess Is officer of the guard. : At 6:30 p.m. the battalion was drawn up for dress parade. All of the many visitors who Witnessed It Were delighted with the heat and attractive dress uniforms and sol. dierly appearance of the boy After dress patente a number of the boys accompanied y ladies went over to Sunset hill to wit- ness the beautiful view of the sunset.

Anderson of the Ana- costla 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 tne 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 pair walked for two miles to the police jon. Betore the Police Court this morning the negro ap) in le role of a genuine burglar and Judge Mills held him’ in $300 security for the action of the grand jury. Retaliating Upon French Priests. The anti-French agitation started in Rome, owing to the massacre of Itallans at 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 a strong force of police, who dispersed the mob and guarded the seminary until late last evening. A company of police are sta- toned at the French embassy, as the anti- French agitators have threatened to sack it. In both Milan and Turin incen anti-French manifestoes have been issued.
