The derrick which was used tor the purpose was of wood and entirely inadequate to the weight to which it was subjected. The natural result was thet it broke and the girder fell to the ground. It was fortunate thet no one was beneath It when it fell, for the girder was large enough and heavy enough to have killed a score of men. As it was no one was hurt, though the aceldent caused some Mttle excitement in the neighborhood, and the work of rais- ing the girder had to be postponed until the derrick could be patched up. si ek With a Brick. About 9 o'clock last night an altercation took place between two colored men, Maj. Newton and Benjamin Griffin, on 2th and I. streets northwest, and Newton, seizing @ brick, struck Griffin on the head, inflict- ing a painful wound, and then made good Lis escape. ———— Dislocated His Arm. Dr. Gecrge W. Tobias of New York city, who is here attending the pan-American medical congress, met with a painful ac- cident about 9 o'clock tast evening. In at- tempting to alight from a cable car at Mth street and Pennsylvania avenue he fell and dislocated his arm. He was assisted to his room at Willard’s, where he is stopping. _— Broke His Thumb.

Michael Quirk, a telegraph Mneman, liv- img at 5l4 Lith street southwest, was as- saulted by a number of crap shooters on Pennsylvania avenue near 13th street yes- terday afternoon, one of whom used a club, cutting his left cheek badly. He had seen them playing crap in the park, and advised that they be careful or the police would raid them, when they assaulted him. — Badly Injured. John Edley, colored, was taken to the Emergency Hospital yesterday, having been dangerously hurt on Saturday last by the bed of a sand wagon falling on fim while be was under it greasing the wheels. > Further Action Necessary. Further action by Congress is necessary before the wharf and approaches to Wake- field. Va., the birthplace of Washington, can be constructed. The difficulty lies in the fact that the act making the-appropriation for the work, provides that it shall be done in a way that is impossible within the ap- Propriation. The ,lan for the wharf was made by Gen. Casey, many years ago, w! iron and the other necessary materials were much cheaper than at present. The Attor- ney Gene-al has given an opinion that the appropriation can be used only in the execution of the original plan. The Secre- tary of State, who has charge of the mat- ter. has, therefore, decided to refer it to Congress with a recommendation that the act be amended so as to permit the wharf to be constructed according to a revised plan, or else that the appropriation be in- creased so as to permit the execution of the original plan. The work has been placed in the hands of Col. J. M. Wilson, corps of engineers. _— Samuel C. Carter's Funeral. ‘The funeral services over the remains 8. C.

JESS FROM SANDY SPRING. All Sorts of Interesting Notes From This Locality. Correspondence of The Evening Star. SAND SPRINGS, Md., Sept. 4, 1998. ‘The August meeting of the Montgomery Club was held at Lucknough, the home of Dr. F. Thomas, with Beryn D. Palmer pre- siding officer and J. Janney Shoemaker an efficient secretary. Mr. Patton of Washing- ton, Granville Farquhar, B. H. Miller, Ed- ward ¥. and John Thomas were invited guests. This farm is now under the man- agement of Charles G. Willson, and both stock and crops do him credit. The Home Interest Society met on Mon- day afternoon at Glenwood, the residence of Dr. Roger Brooke, John ‘Thomas, chair- man, and Rebecca 'T. Miller, secretary. Beryn H. Miller read an interesting paper describing some of his experiences as Indian inspector in the far west last spring. The wind storm, which had commenced at sun- set, became so terrific by the hour of ad- journment that seven of the members de- cided not to attempt returning to their dis- tant homes that night. The brave spirits who ventured had many difficulties to over- come in the shape of fallen limbs and high streams. Buildings were damaged, fruit and shade trees blown over and some or- chards stripped of apples and pears by the long-to-be-remembered gale of August 29 and 30. The brick chimneys on the Clifton House, which have weathered the storms of one hundred and forty-three years, had their tops completely demolished. ‘The german at Rockland on Tuesday was thoroughly enjoyed by the twelve couples who danced, and by a number of specta- tors.

Among the strangers present were Miss Mary Parker of Boston and Misses Sloan, Cooke and Clark, who have been the guests of Miss Bessle Mackall of late. On the same evening occurred a straw ride, enjoyed by some twenty young people, who set forth from Meadow Brook, the country home of Edward L. Palmer of Baltimore, whose daughters, Misses Elsie and Janet have, with a host of visitors, spent a pleasant summer there. Miss Emilie T. Brooke will resume her duties as teacher of Brookeville public school, and Miss Sally P. Brooke has been appointed to a similar position at Emory.

USED DUE CARE. ‘The Coroner's Jury Verdict Over Mr. Robert S. Wharton. Coroner Woodward held an inquest yes- terday afternoon at the Emergency Ho: Pital over the body of Mr. Robert S. Whar- ton, the elderly gentleman who was killed by a cable car Sunday afternoon. The jury consisted of Mr. R. Edwin Joyce, Thos. J. Myers, Jas. W. Barker, Henry Levi, J. H. Eubank, and Michael Hayden. Howard N. Lindsley, the gripman of the train that killed Mr. Wharton, was pres- ent, and was given a chance to testify In his own behalf. A number of eye-witnesses of the scene gave their description of the accident. The stories all agreed in the main features, and described the accident as it was in The Star last evening, with the ex- ception that there was no car standing on the other track. According to their testi- mony, Mr. Wharton came from the Howard House corner, and started to cross the tracks toward the National Hotel. He did not look toward the tracks to see if a train was coming from either direction, but with head bowed he walked leisurely across. The gripman applied his brake ag quickly as he saw that the man had at- tempted to cross in front of his car, ring- ing his gong all the time. One witness said that Mr. Wharton seemed to be in a sort of dazed condition. He was only ten or fifteen feet ahead of the grip.car when he started to cross the tracks, and there was not room or time to stop the train. As it . he was almost across, and if he could have taken one quick step he could have avoided the accident. Young Lindsley, the gripman, showed signs of emotion when he took the stand. After the accident he fainted, and yestel day he appeared to be unnerved by wh: had happened, but he told his story in a clear and convincing manner. It developed that he had been in the employ of the road only about a fortnight, and had had charge of a train for four days before the acci- dent. He had been under {nstruction with an experienced gripman for six days after having spent several days at the power house and tunnels learning all the details of operation. On Sunday afternoon, he said, he saw a group of men standing at 6th street, near the tracks, and he rang his gong’ when about thirty feet away. Just then he no- ticed an elderly man approach the group, but instead of joining them he continued toward the track. Witness applied the brakes instantly, but the man was only about ten feet in front of the train when he stepped on to the track, and he was walking slowly. He had almost crossed the track when he was struck. The jury brought in a verdict in accord- ance with the evidence, entirely exonerat- ing the gripman, who, they sald, had used all possible diligence and caution to avoid accident. One juror, Mr. Barker, insisted on bringing in ‘a supplementary verdict of his own, reprimanding the company for employing men who had but little experi- ence. The funeral of Mr. Wharton will take Place tomorrow afternoon at 4 o’clock,from the residence of his stepson, Mr. F. W. Test, 23 E street. New Jerusalem Lodge of Masons, of which he was a member, will conduct the services, and Rev. Dr. Wilson of Wesley Chapel will preach the sermon. paare sae AMUSEMENTS, Albaughs.—That remarkable taining combination of neg and farce comedy, “Tuxedo.” opened a Week’s engagement at Albaugh’s last night, The production is under the direction of the popular comedian, Hughey Dougherty, and the reception given him last night showed thct he has a firm hold on the good will of the amusement-loving public. A ood many things are introduced which are quite new. Arthur Rigby presented a num- ber of drolleries, both musical and other- wise, with good effect, and Chas. Guyer is not only a first-class acrobat, but a good grotesque comedian into the bargain. Burt hephard also contributed liberally to the fun, and the humor was agreeably inter- spersed by a number of ballads, charming in themselves, and without exception well sung. Miss Bonnie Goodwin acquitted her- self with credit as a serio-comie songstress. The musical performance by Alice Mon- tague and J. R. West was thoroughly en- Joyable. Ed. Marble is one of the men who can attach real interest to the interlocu- tor’s performance, and altogether, there is every reason to expect a successful season for the show. The New National.—Thos. Q. Seabrooke's jolly study in effervescence, uncorked for the severalth time in this city, but show- ing no signs of flatness, was heartily appre- ciated at the New National Theater last night. There is nothing new to be said of this comedian as King Pommery Sec’nd in the “Isle of Champagne.” He has earned about all the complimentary things that there are to be said of the light opera comedian and his company. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—The patrons of Harris’ Bijou Theater were given a strong attraction last night in the melo-drama “New Mexico,” with Theresa Newcomb as the star. The play abounds with situations of the most thrilling character; the scenery 1s good, and the dialogue on’a par with similar ' presentations. The star and her supporting company made a good impres- ion. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—One of the best burlesque shows traveling {s that of Sheridan & Flynn's City Sports, and the performance given last night at’ Kernan’s Theater fully substantiates this assertion. The performers give their specialties with a snap that is enjoyable, and in the bur- lesques one and ail go through their parts with an enthusiastic dash that is conta- gious. The performance opened with the roaring farce, “A Hot Night,” which was followed by entertaining specialties. A good burlesque, “The King of Sports," wound up the evening’s performance, and sent every- body home in good humor. Mr. W. L. Bal- lauf, jr. formerly treasurer of Albaugh's Theater of this city and Holliday Street Theater of Baltimore, has succeeded Mr. Edwin Waller as treasurer of the Lyceum.

The second combination rehearsal of the centennial chorus was held in the Congre- gational Church last night, the divisions participating being the northern, north central, central, east central, southwest and Le Droit Park. There were also some singers from other divisions and the total number was between five and six hundred. Prof. Cloward conducted the rehearsal and Prof. John P. Lawrence presided at the organ. The use of the organ was of great assistance to the singers and the work of the chorus was highly satisfactory. It was an evening of good hard honest work for the chorus, and Prof. Cloward drilled them upon “America,” “Home, Sweet Home,” “The Heavens are Telling” and Dudley Buck’s “Te Deum.” Of course the most time was spent on the two last numbers, and the improvement made was most mark- ed. Again and again were certain pas- Sages sung until the niceties of shading and the dramatic expression desired by the director were accomplished, ‘There were seasons of rest and during one of these Mr. Lawrence played a beau- tiful organ solo that was loudly applauded. Prof. Cloward introduced Dr. Frank T. Howe, chairman of the chorus committee, who complimented both singers and di- rector for the work that had thus far been accomplished. He gave a brief history of the formation of the chorus and spoke of the earnest work performed by the assist- ant directors and their secretaries. He predicted that the grand chorus would be the most notable feature of the centennial celebration. Mr. Lawrence Gardner, chairman of the executive committee, was present during @ portion of the evening and expressed him- self as highly gratified at the work of the chorus, ‘The next combination rehearsal will prob- ably be held next Monday night and will Include the western, northwestern and Georgetown _ divisions. Mr. W. S. McArthur, the rector of the central division, which holds its rehearsals in the Congregational Church on Friday evenings, added twenty-three names to his lst last night. Rehearsals were also held last night in Hyattaville under J. A. Roeder, Falls Church, under Mr. Kimball, Rockville, Mr. Hezekiah Trail, director, and Georgetown, Mr. Frank S.
