Just at this time the parking commission tm taxed to its utmost capacity and a force of forty-four men and sIxteen carts is en- gazed repairing the damage done by the tornado last Monday night. Superintendent Lanham of the parking commission in conversation with a reporter of The Star teday said that at least 10,000 trees In the city had been damaged and that not one square in the entire District had escaped, While the damage had been severe and many valuable trees had been lost, still the people should be thankful that the storm did not oceur at any other time. ‘The conditions, said Mr. Lanham, were all favorable to the preservation of the trees. ‘The long drought had almost baked the earth and the uprooting of the trees was made a difficult thing. Had the ground been moist the damage would have~been untold: as it Washington has never ex- Dertenced such a blow at its most beauti- ful feature. The parking commission 1s Going everything it can to repair the dam- age. In a lare> majority of instances the trees which were injured will have to be removed. for the sap at this time is in the top of the tree. which renders its death easter. In the fall there will be consider- able planting and in a short time all ev ence of the storm will be effaced. orsehoew Faneral of Mr. White. ‘The funerat of Mr. J.

Two Boys Mistaken for and Arrested as Body Snatchers. SOME GOOD BICYCLE RUNS. Interesting News of St. John’s Episcopal Church. INTERESTING ITEMS. OTHER Messrs. W. O. Drew and Bernard Hard- ing, two Georgetown boys, are back from Colton’s, where they went on a pleasure trip. Their stay, however, was not one of unalloyed bliss, as a short time after their arrival they were taken for body snatchers, ordered out of their beds at 2 a. m., locked up in an old store, which was used as a temporary jail, and left there for seven hours. Then they were taken before a sheriff, and on the testimony of a small colored boy called Leary, who said they had offered him % to drive a body from the | grave yard, were eonvicted and sentenced to pay a fine of $10 and costs, amounting to $2.97. The boys tell a story as follows: ‘They were seated one day on the porch of the hotel, when Leary came along. Knowing the superstition with which the majority of country colored people look upon grave yards, they thought they would have some fun, and, getting Leary aside, in a myste- rious manner told him that if he would drive their muffled-footed- horse, attached to a rubber-tired wagon, at midnight to a neighboring grave yard they would give him %. “I know what you want to do; you want to steal Capt. Palmer's body.”’ said the boy excitedly, and before the George- towners could reply he rushed off and in- formed the relatives of the dead captain that the remains were to be stolen. That night, it is said, a guard was placed around the grave yard until 2 o'clock. The alleged snatchers not turning up to be caught, they were visited at the hotel, arrested and locked up, as above stated. Capt. Palmer, who had been a prominent man of the section, had died of a disease ) that greatly puzzled the physicians, and It was not at all improbable that they had expressed a desire to get hold of the body for scientific reasons. This gave ready cre- dence to the boy's story. Messrs. Drew and Harding have appealed the case, and it will be heard again the third Monday in September. Mr. Drew is the son of Fire Marshal A Good Ra During the twenty-four hours ending at 3 o'clock yesterday Mr. L. H. Whal of the | Washington Road Club covered a distance on his bicycle of 273 miles, breaking Ward's | District record of 202 and the American record of 22 miles.

A prominent resident complains to The Star that since July 4 32d street between Q and Road streets has only been swept once,and is now consequently in great need of attention. Why the street has been so neglected is a question that is daily asked by the resl- dents along the affected section. Shorter Paragraphs. Trinity Sunday school opened auspicious- ly yesterday.

A Well-Known Oitizen Meots a Sudden Death. A Cable Car Kills Robert 8. Wharton— Fenders on the Cars Useless for Protection and Not Beautif There was another cable car accident yes- terday afternoon that resulted in the death of one of Washington's oldest citizens, Mr. Robert 8. Wharton. He was struck by a cable train near the corner of éth street and Pennsylvania avenue about 3:30 o'clock and died at the Emergency Hospital several hours later. Mr. Wharton, who was a boarder at the Howard House, was returning to his rooms on C street, when he crossed around behind @ stationary train and was struck by num- ber 13, which was going east. He was thrown several feet ahead of the grip and before it could be brought to a standstitl § had passed over him and crushed him be- neath the guards of the car. ‘The injured man was at once picked up and carried into a neighboring drug store. ‘There were few outward signs of injury, but it was evident he had been severely hurt internally, and when he had been re- moved to the Emergency ‘Jospital Dr. Hough saw that there was no hop for him, About four hours after the accident he died, the cause of death being concussion of the brain and injuries to the stomach and lungs. Officers from the sixth precinct arrested the gripman, Howard Lindsay. The latter fainted when he realized what had hap- pened and was prostrated with grief. He was held to await the action of the cor- oner’s Inquest today. He has been in the employ of the company for a long time and bore an excellent reputation. The dead man was a prominent Mason and a member of New Jerusalem Lodge, F. A. A. M., under the auspices of which cr- ganization the funeral will be held when his family have been heard from. Mr. Wharton was in his eighty-third year, and came to Washington from Nashville, ‘Tenn., in 1839. He was appointed a clerk in the general Post Office by President Jackson. He re- mained in service many years, raving his money and investing it in real estate here, which eventually made him a wealthy man. It is estimated that he leaves real «state and other property to the value of between $200,000 and $300,000. After the inquest the body was taken to the home of the dead man’s stepson, F. W.

The water through the sewer and ditch Was very low and apparently only sewage. There were probably one hundred and fifty milch cows grazing on the flats and mcad- ows adjacent to this stream of filth, and as the day was very warm the cows -JIrank often of the sewage. I looked in vain for any other drinking supply, but could find none. These poor brutes were compelled to drink sewage or go thirsty. ‘The channel {s too far out and the marsh too deep for the cows to reach {t. Since my visit just described I have heard of sev- eral cases of typhold fever, and I at once thought that some of the sufferers may have partaken of this very sewage in the form of impure milk. I believe that it is generally acknowledged that typhold, scar- let and other fevers have been frequently traced to drinking milk from cows that were permitted to drink impure water. Will the health office look into the matter, or is it of no importance? As I was supplied with rubber boots, I waded out far into the marsh along the channel cut by the sewer, and the stench was dreadful. When the tide comes in the sewage is distributed over the flats, and when the tide goes out the sewage remains in the weeds, slime and mud for further treatment by the sun.

In the evening his discourse was de- voted to young men and women, and his theme was “Being Good to Yourself; or Looking Out for Number One.” The church was well filled and great attention was paid the speaker, and it was evident that he had made a good impression upon his audience. At the close of the sermon an after meet- ing was held in the parlors of the church, to which inquirers and all Interested were invited, and several conversions among young men and young women were re- ported. —— United Order of the Golden Cross.

Seaton preached yesterday at Ebenezer A. M. EB. Church, in George- town, on the subject of “African Method- ism." In substance he said: “Liberty in the broadest sense 1s’ freedom from re- straint, and this cannot obtain in a civil- ized country. This is as true of the church as of the state. No church government can succeed with a code of just laws which ap- ply with equal force to rich and poor, to white and black. God did of one blood make all nations to dwell on the earth. The chrrch must accord the blackest man on the earth the fullest communion, or that church cannot stand. Religious lberty and religious equality are allied. The church which entertains an unfraternal feeling toward one portion of its congregation be- cause of complexion will not live. We have thousands of church members who re- fuse to worship with the poor simply be- cause they are poor. If Jesus had done this the poor would never have had the gospel preached to them. Every child of God has the right to worship according to the dictates of his own conscience. If one feels like sitting still and drinking in the word let him do it; if another can better enjoy himself by a smile, let him alone; if another wants to emphasize his emotions by saying amen, then I say amen. “The Puritans were poor exponents of re- ligious liberty. When the church societies were formed in this land they were suppos- ed to be established on principles of Iberty. ‘These privileges were accorded only to favored classes. Colored members were compelled to sit in the galleries and were not allowed to say amen. They were ob- liged to take holy communion by them- selves after their white brother had finish- ed. They were ordered to back seats in Philadelphia and pulled from their knees while in the very act of prayer. They were Tegarded as a nuisance in the church. Re- liglous Mberty was rocked in the cradle of African Methodism. When our Lord was tolling up the rugged hill and fell, it was a black man who stood by him. Until 1787 there was not a colored pastor, steward, trustee, or full-fledged leader inthis lan Nor was a colored Sunday school teacher nor a superintendent known’ in America. But when through the efforts of Richard Allen African Methodism was born, black men began to hold official positions in the church. From a beginning of fifteen or twenty members in 1787 we have today 3,450 traveling preachers, ten bishops, over 300 presiding elders, 3,964 churches, ‘504,400 members on earth ‘and half a million in heaven. The African Methodist Church proves that the negro is capable of self- government.” Dr, Seaton was rewarded with a full house and marked attention. BROOKLAND.

PLEASANT PROSPECTS For a Successful and Largely At- tended Fair at Rockville. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, September 3, 1893. ‘The fair grounds here today are the cen- ter’ of attraction, and during the afternoon were visited by many persons of both sexes. ‘The recent heavy rains have washed off the accumulation of dust on the trees and build- ings, started anew the green grass and made all the surroundings look pleasant and inviting. During the past week the grounds have been thoroughly renovated and put in the best possible condition. Alongside the judges’ stand on the track a neat stand has been erected for the accom- modation of press reporters, which will be quite an improvement on the old plan of almost “fighting for position.” A large number of seats have also been provided for the overflow of persons who cannot be ac- commodated in the grand stand, which will comfortably seat several hundred, The new ticket offices at each end of the grounds have been finished and are ready for oc- cupancy. As yet the stables are the principal point of attraction, and already contain a number of fine horses. Yesterday evening several noted running horses, which last week took Part in the races at the Loudoun county, Va., fair at Leesburg, arrived and were as- signed quarters. Among them are Neptune and Johnny Morgan, the property of Jos. T. Maddox of Warrenton, Neptune took first money at Leesburg and Johnny Morgan second. Eugene Payne of Hope- well, Va., also brought in Donley, a winner at Leesburg. Romney filly and Pardon, the property of J. S. Owens of Leesburg, also took stables. W. M. Barrack of Glou- cester county, Va., brought in the flyer Bellmire, and expects to do good work. Re- turn, owned by J. H. Lewis, and Elfin, owned by T. D. McDermott, both of Wash- ington, will be here tomorrow morning. With this list of flyers the running races will be well filled, as there are quite a num- ber also from the county. In addition to the large stables of West, Rabbitt, Keys, Dugan and others, who have been here for some days, the class of trot- ters was today augmented by the arrival of R. C. Bedford of Washington with his well- known horses Mambrino Star, Dexter, Baron Wilkes, Al and Blufter. Mr. John Dugan of Washington, who has been here today looking after the interests of his popular trotter, Princess Orléff, pre- dicts a larger attendance at the fair from the District than ever seen before. He thinks there will be fully 500 persons pres- ent from Georgetown alone on each of the three days. Advices from all parts of the county and other places represent a big crowd coming. Mr. Jacob Ricketts, one of the oldest citi- zens of the county, died at his home in Gaithersburg on Friday evening, aged ninety-seven years. His funeral took place today and was very largely attended. Two daughters survive him. Mr. and Mrs. W. Weaver of this place have returned from an extended visit to friends at Leonardtown, Md. Miss Rebecca Hall of Poolesville is vis- iting Miss Rosalie Boutc, this town. Rev. Wm. Chinn, pastor of the Presby- terian Church at this place, today occupied his pulpit after a vacation of some weeks. Mr. J. P. Burdette of Browningsville, a graduate of Pennington Seminary, New Jer- sey, avill this week enter Dickinson College, Pennsylvania, taking’ a theological course of studies, preparatory to entering the min- istry. Misses Fannie and Nettle Williams of Oakmont and Messrs. Vernon D. and Frank W. Watkins of Clagettsville have gone to Lebanon, Ohio, for the purpose of attending a teachers’ institute for several months. Mr: Emory Baxter and daughter and Messrs. Allison Langille, John T. Warfield, Wm. Garrett, Harrison Ward “and Alex. Prescott of the county are visiting the world’s fair, Miss Florence Thomas, after a visit of several weeks to friends at this place, has returned home.

Bailey of Washington, is visiting Misses Walker at Gaithersburg. The closing of the Woodlawn Hotel at this place on the Ist instant caused an ex- odus of a large number of Washington guests, S.A. M. ——— Col. Jerome Bonaparte 1. Col. Jerome Bonaparte is lying very i at his villa at Lenox, Mass. Dr. Jos. Taber Johnson was telegraphed for by Madame Bonaparte and has gone to Len ox. It is understood that Col. Bonaparte’ malady is a serious stomach trouble. Perseverance Lodge. ‘The meeting of Perseverance Lodge of Good Templars on last Saturday evening was largely attended, and proved very en- joyable to all who participated. Two new members were added and considerable other practical temperance work was. di posed of. The social exercises were con- ducted by company A, with Capt. Miss Ella Frazier in command, and under whose di- rection a program of choice selections was contributed. The essays read by Mr. John Bryson and Prof. Ambrose Ogle attracted marked attention for original and forceful presentation of the temperance question. Mr. and Mra. Jensen entertained with a vocal duet, and Mr. Shackelford a solo. Chiet Templar Corby contributed a char- acter song, Mr. McIntyre a recitation and Prof. Ogle a violin solo. Another pleasing incident of the meeting was the presenta- tion to the lodge of a beautiful American silk flag by Mr. Augustein. KIDNEY TROUBLES.

Has it been your experience to call on a merchant who advertised “unheard of bar- gains” and then be politely informed «with regrets) that “we've just sold the last?” And were you not importuned to look at something else? These “unheard of bar- gains,” like Leander, the Invisivle Prince, exist only in the imagination of the ro- mancer—but the romancer writes fairy tales for the edification of children, and the mer- chant who hopes to mislead you by flimsy pretexts has “sized you up” as sullible—as gullible as those who «wallowed “Gul- liver’s Travels” as a truthful narrative of adventure, being too stupid to understand the political import of the travesty. There is one Furniture Merchant in Washington who is rarely sver out of any- thing in his Ine, and if it should happen that he cannot at once supply « cail in his line he will promise to get the acedful thing so soon as telegraph and fast express c bring it.
