A Stubborn Fire Does Damage Along the Biver Front. Canal Matters and Other Points of In- terest to Residents of West Wash- ington—Southern Connection. One of the most stubborn conflagrations the firemen have been called upon to fight for years broke out about 7:30 o'clock last evening in the large stone and frame coop- er shop belonging to James Kuhn and lo- cated on the north side of Water street near High. There were nearly 4,000 barrels ‘stored in the place. Many of them contained coal olf and whisky. The frame part of the structure burnt out soon, unmindful vo. the heavy streams that engines 1, 3, 5 and 7 threw upon it. Then the stock became the flames’ principal food, and up through the three stories of the building the ie. ¥ tongues lapped. The roof, for a moment impeded their further progress. Additional strength, though, was quickly gathered from the feeding ugon the barrels of the last story. A roaring assault was made upon the great rafters and with a hiss a breach was made and the flames went skyward twenty feet above the burning building. In half an hour all that could be seen of the burning roof was a few charred boards. Not until 12 o'clock did the water begin to weaken the flames, and not until 3 a.m. did No. 5's men think they could with safety leave. The loss is estimated at $4,000 and is said to be fully covered by insurance. The owner of the building, Mr. James Kuhn, is at present in Radford, Va., but has’ been telegraphed for. ‘The origin of the fire remains a mystery. Some think that the workmen, who did not leave until 6 o'clock, dropped a lighted match on going out, others that sponta- neous combustion was the cause and still others that it was the work of an incen- diary. Mr. Joseph H. Bradley of the Po- tomac Insurance Company, after the fight, gave a supper to the exhausted firemen ai g's Hotel. Canal Affairs. Boats to leave Cumberland August 25 were as follows: A.

As is known, only a part of the branch was constructed, the company being unable to obtain permission to cross the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. The construc- tion has not been abandoned, only put aside fcr a while, the improvements at Harper's Ferry having absorbed what money the company could st this. time spare. The rails to be taken from George- town will be carried to a spot on the main branch of the Baltimore ‘Ohio's road. Potomacw’ Dances. The Potomacs’ dances are now eagerly looked for.

Played « Trick on the Officers, but is Again in the Tol! “Dayton Sammy,” an alleged notorious thief, has been recaptured in Chicago, and he will soon be brought east to answer a charge of robbery in Maryland. He is one of the best-known “crooks” in the country, and has done time in prison for offenses. Besides being known as “Dayton Sammy,” he goes under the names of Sam- Scratchter, James Martin and J. Smith. During the last inauguration he came to this city to play his part in the crowd. On the way here, it is alleged, he robbed @ passenger on a Baltimore and Ohio train of $80. As soon as he reached the station in this city he was arrested and locked up at the first precinct station, where there Were so many “drunks” in the cell: In the morning when the prisoners were called out the noted croo! was smart enough to answer the name of a “drunk” who was still sleeping off the effects of the night before. In the office of the station no one was present who knew him, and out he walked, a free man. Later in the day it was discovered that the drunk left in the cell was overstaying his time, because he knocked at the door to get out. Where is “Dayton Sammy”? was the question asked, but there was no one who A description of the fugitive was sent out, and yesterday he was arrested in Chicago. A telegram was received here by the police notifying them of the arrest and asking for details of the charge against the prisone: The dispatch was turned over to the Mary- land authorities, who will probably send for the prisoner. a IS HE HERE? A Released Passenger of the Kara- ja Said to Re in This City. Several days ago Health Officer Hammett received from the commissioner of immi- gration at New York a telegram notifying him that a passenger on board the steam- ship Karamania, a cholera infected ship, had left the ship and had come to this city. Yesterday a letter from Commissioner Sen- ner was received, in which was inclosed a Feport of the case. The name of the pas- senger was given as Giorgio Giovanni Gia- nacos. He came from Naples. The report says: “The passengers on the steamship Karamanta, which was infected with cholera, have ‘this day passed this sta- Yon, having been detained at quarantine during the full period of incubation of the disease. Their baggage Mas been subjected to a steam disinfection, under the direction of the health officer of the state of New York and a sergeant of the United States marine hospital service.”” Upon receipt of this report Health Officer Hammett addressed to the Commission- ers, transmitting a copy of the report above printed, and saying: “In view of this report, and as an act for safety, I would suggest that the police department be requested to locate the man, If in this city, and report the fact to this office when he is found, that proper surveillance may be given in the case.’ —- Wants a Divorce and Alimony.

A tall well dressed man of about thirty-five years had been standing on the corner, when he was approached by a woman of perhaps ten years his senior and an animated conver- Sation took place, the woman finally em- phasizing her words by drawing a cowhide and striking him across the face. He at- tempted to defend himself with an umbrella, but her blows were so fast and furious that he could not stand his ground. Although a large crowd was attracted, both parties dis- appeared. It is stated that the man, who is not known in the neighborhood, had been loitering at the corner for some days, ani that the cause of the episude was the send- ing of a note to a girl, asking her to meet him there, and he met ‘the mother. fiche habe The Grange Camp.

The First Session of Their Convention Not Altogether Harmonious. The Platform of Principles Adopted— Committee om Organtzation—Some of the Speeches Made. About thirty delegates and as many more spectators were present last evening when the convention of the National Negro Dem- ocratic Association was called to order, and many of them were by no means in accord with the principles of the members of the association. The first business transacted was the adoption of the report of the com- mittee on resolutions, reported by Chairman Fremont, which recommended that the ad- dress read by the late first vice president, Mr. James A. Ross of Iowa, be adopted as the principles and platform of this associa- tion, indorsed the financial plank as laid down in the platform of the national demo- cratic party, adopted at Chicago June, 1892, and approved of the financial recommenda- tion of President Cleveland in his late mes- Sage convening Congress in extraordinary session. It continued: “We believe in rota. tion in office, and therefore recommend that a committee of seven be appointed by the chair to wait upon the heads of the several departments and request the removals of republicans and the appointment of demo- crats wherever practicable. Intelligence being the highest mark of citizenship, we therefore recommend national aid for public instruction wherever needed.It having come to the ears of the committee that there are parties in this city who are going the rounds of the several departments demanding $3 a month from each colored employe appointed by the present administration, we denounce the practice as fraudulent, unjust and un- democratic, and recommend the exposure and punishment of all such persons.” The Teport recommended the appointment of a committee on organization and conference, each to consist of eleven members, and of- fered the support of the campaign’ commit- tee to the democratic nominees for governor of Ohio and Virginia. Committee on Organizatio: Chas. H. Smith of West Virginia, first vice president, presided, and, on motion of Delegate McGee, appointed the following committee on organization: J. Milton Tur- ner of Missouri, chairman; W. E. Gross of New York, W. T. Peyton of Kentucky, Geo. ‘'T, Downing of Rhode Island, L. C. Moore of Mississippl, Joseph Houser of Missouri and Peter H. Clark of Ohio, It had been announced that there was to be a debate on the silver question and the tariff, and upon these subjects several del- egates addressed the convention. Incidentally the question of whether the whites in the north or south were the best friends of the negro cropped out, and the end of the evening’s session was not as har- monious as it might have been. George W. Freemont of Virginia and John E. Bowles of Maryland were the first speakers, and their remarks were well recetved. Mr, McGee of Missouri, after dwelling at length upon the manufactories in New England, said: “Can you tell me how many eclored men are employed in them?” In the south, he sald, the negroes follow ex- actly the'same pursuits that are followed by the whites, while in the north the prayer is, “Oh, Lord, have mercy on the negro in the south and keep him there.” He said that in the south the negroes could be found keeping stores, engineering and engaging in all other pursuits, while in the north he was lucky if he could get a Job on a railroad track with a pick and Shovel. The republican party, he said, had no more to do with freeing the negro than did the democratic party. He urged his hearers to stick to thelr friends, no matter to what party they belonged, as he sald a division of the colored vote would mean thelr elevation that much sooner. He also said he was a bellever in the theory “that to the victors belong the spoils,” and said that the colored democrats would not only accept offices now held by colored repub- Means, but that they expected to get them. Willing to Leave It to Congre: Mr. speech and caused some merriment by say- ing that since the silver question had come to the front he had been unable to hear the merry jingle of a single silver dollar in his Uttle pocket. He said he thought the silver and tariff questions had been thrust upon the association unjustiy, as he realized the fact that but few men in his race were able to dicuss the questions intelligently, ter to the President and Congress for set- tlement. Chaplain McGoines made a short speech, in which he said that the colored man would play an important part in the next presidential campaign and predicted that many of them would be in line in Virginia this fall, Then Mr. Fremont of Virginia was again on his feet. He had a grievance about the circular sent out over the country. givi the principle of the association. He hai hoped to see all the delegates stand by what they had done, but he was sorry to say they had not. An attempt was made to have him sit down, but he informed his few hearers that he would remain on the floor and have his say If it took him all night, “I'm a _man and I don’t play boy,” hy added. “I am willing to stand by what I said in the committee and I want every- body to understand that when my name goes before the country attached to any- thing {t means something and I am going to stick by it Mr. L. C. “Moore, an ex-member of the Mississippi legislature, was introduced as the next speaker, but he declined to make an address. He sald he was unable to tell from what he had heard whether this was @ republican or democratic meeting. He a: sured his hearers that he was a democrat and that he was willing to fall and rise with his party. In conclusion he said that he would have to decline to make a speech and he would also decline to serve as a member of one of the committecs of which he had been appointed a member. "Swing to the lateness of the hour speech- making was indulged in no further and the association adjourned to meet in conference at 1109 I street at 3 o'clock this afternoon. CORNER-STONE DAY. AN the Preparations for Its Cel tion Going Rapidly Forward. Now that the joint congressional com- mittee on the centennial celebration of the laying of the corner stone of the Capitol has been announced the great work of pre- paring for that event will progress even more enthusiastically than before. Matters are in a very satisfactory shape and the success of the occasion Is already assured. Yesterday Chairman John Joy Edson of the finance committee announced subscrip- tions to the amount of $2,000, and in view of the immediate need of money by the var- fous committees issued the following cir- cular: ‘The arrangements for the celebration to take place at the Capitol September 18 are progressing satisfactorily, and will prove, we feel sure, a credit to ‘the people of the District of Columbia, and will, at the same time, ‘appreciated by Congress. The executive committee, however, are delayed in entering into contracts required owing to the lack of prompt and sufficient subscrip- tions. ‘We are therefore obliged to appeal to you in a public-spirited way to make your sub- scription at once and thus aid the com- mittee in successfully carrying out the celebration in an appropriate manner. The occasion is worthy of the best efforts of the citizens of the District of Columbia, the fair fame of this community being at stake. Don't let It suffer through your in- difference. We need your immediate as- sistance. Secretary Hay of the general committee announces that the souvenir badges of the celebration are now ready for sale, and as the medal attached to the badge is'a hand- some and artistic piece of work a great sale is naturally expected. These medals in white metal will cost $1 each: in_ bronze, 31.25; In sterling silver, $2.50. Mr. Hay alsi states that if the railroads make sat: factory rates between places in the adjoin- ing states, and little doubt is expressed on that point, an exceedingly large represen- tation will'be seen here on corner-stone day. ‘The Philadelphia lodge of Elks yesterday sent a letter to Chairnian Gardner asking for information about the ceremonles. City ‘Treasurer M. B. Harlow of Alexandria stated to the committee that a mass meet- i of the people of that city would be held early next week to devise some plan for taking part in the exercis WORRY ‘Tells, sadly, on woman's health and beauty.

Miss Clemmons is a young lady, who 1s said to possess both youth and beauty. Of her dramatic ability report s} favorably and she comes from England, where she has been a successful star. Miss Clemmons 1s an American girl by birth and hails from the Pacific coast. z Harris’ Bijou Theater.—“McCarthy's Mis- haps” will be the attraction at Harris’ The- ater next week. It is a farce replete with the funniest of situations and the most amusing incidents. In a farcical way ail the class characters of the stage are intro- duced. Barney Ferguson, who is the prin- cipal of the company, has by his peculiar personality and original methods won for imself first place among the Celtic delinea- tors. Marguerite Ferguson, a contortion dancer, who has scored a strong success by her wonderful feats, and Carrie Behr, Gert- rude Fort, May Dubois, Zclma Ralston, Fanny Osburn and others assist in the pro- gram, which {s varied and amusing. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—“The City Club,” under the management of Tom F. Miaco, will be the attraction at Kernan’ Lyceum Theater next week. It includes a host of pretty burlesquers and clever com- edians, who give assurance of an entertain- ing program, beginning with the novel in- troductory ‘The City Club at Midnight. In the olio will be found acknowledged art- ists, including Lew Hawkins, comedian; Fannie Everett, John and Harry Dillon, comedians: Ruby Marion, in “The Rainbow Dance: Paul Allen, in’-his original act: John and Edna Vidoca, sketch: James Low- ery and Nellie Hanley. in their latest suc- cess, and Flora Mitchell. in vlantatio songs. ‘The burlesque, “A Tempting Tow: is a spicy production. The natatorial exhi- bitions in the summer garden will be re- peated by Miss Clara Beckwith next week, but no longer. The pretty young natatress will bid farewell to the patrons one week from tonight, and it is not probable that she will appear here again.

MARY'S CO., Md., August 28, 1898, The Columbian Zouaves are playing in very rough luck as far as the weather is concerned the sham battle and ball that were to have taken place this evening hav- ing been postponed on account of the heavy rains until tomorrow. A great many peo- ple were much disappothtel at the post- ponement, particularly- the country people, who arrived early, bringing their families with them for a holiday. While preparing to return to their homes they soundly be- rated the weather bureau for not having furnished better weather. The bail that 1s to follow the sham battle promises to be a great success, @ great man; people from the numerous summer resorts near here will attend. Last night four members of the corupany, Sergt. Smith, Privates Rodgers and Crip- per, and Bugier Monahan, went over to the Post office after the mall) On thelr return they sto] at a store to make some pur- chases.

A man in New York earns his living by jsimply standing all day long and saying | over and over four short words. He is the person whose business it is to point the | way for those who come down town on the | Third avenue elevated railroad en route for | Brooklyn. He is stationed at the city hall terminus of the road. Thousands who hear him shouting his “Bridge to the right,” regard himi contemptuously and perhaps impatiently because they consider him as embodying an imputation upon their know!- edge of the ways of getting about the metropolis, but to many he performs a most valuable service—indeed, it may be j doubted that there is in New York a more useful institution than this animated sign- it, which persists in telling all comers hat the longest way round is the nearest way to the bridge. ort Words. = On His Pictures.
