Se a A Littie New THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, Harry King Killed by an Electric Oar Yesterday. Amateur Fire Fighters Straggle Nobly —Camal Departures and Arrivals— Marriage Be! Ring Joyously. At 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Ien- | leytown electric car No. 9 collided near the Junction of the Loughborough and Tenley- town roads with one of Samuel C. Pal- mer’s beer wagons, crushed it against the fence on the east side, and injured the driver, Harry W. King, so seriously that he died after lingering and suffering for about sixteen hours. King, who was hardly twenty-one, was coming, it is stated, out of the side en- trance to Schuman’s saloon, where he had Just sold some cases of beer. At that point the tracks of the railroad company come within two feet of the store, ani the car was not seen until the crash came. The injuries inflicted were mostly of an internal nature, the bladder and kidneys suffering. Dr. James Mackall worked for hours trying to save the young man, but almost from the first he saw that death would come despite his efforts. At 7 o'clock this morning the inevitable visitor came. Immediately on the announcement of the end, the police placed the motorman, Charles Dean, under arrest, and locked him up at the station to await the dectsion of the coroner. Byron Mason was the con- ductor. Young King resided at 3017 M street. | “About three weeks ago a colored man was | knocked down and injured consiterably on the same spot that was the scene of yes- | terday's sad accident. | J. F.

Special Agent Ayer. in his rsport to the ‘Treasury Department in May last, stated the total production of tin plate in the United States for the quarter ended March 1 to have been 29,546.38 pounds. Thirty- three firms were engaged fn its production. It will be remembered that during the last campaign the question of how much tin plate was actually produced in the United States figured quite prominently. ——— The Stringency in South Dakota.

A regular meeting of the Veteran Volun- teer Firemen’s Association, was held at their hall, 1$th and H streets northwest, last evening, Mr. James H. Richards pre- siding, and Mr. J. J. Peabody, secretary. Mr. Peabody reported from the excursion committee receipts raising the total net proceeds to $60. Mr. Peabody also presented a roll book of the Franklin for the year 1839, from Mr. Andrew Jackson. Also a belt of the Western Hose, presented by the widow of John ‘Tanner. Mr. Cammack, after looking over the Franklin roll book, sald among the names were Wm. Beron, John T. Given, W. H. Nalley, John Willey, John F. Coyle, Al W. Denham, M. French and W. H. Harrover, who are living, the first two named being members of the association. ‘The secretary stated that the indebted- ness for the repair of the house had been paid and that there was no necessity for keeping up the sinking fund. He moved that the resolution providing for a sinking fund be rescinded, and the motion was carried. President Richards reported that he had attended on Monday last a meeting of the | general committee on the cen- tennial celebration. The Brooklyn veterans will arrive on the morning of the 17th and will stop at the Hotel Lawrence, and ask | to house thelr apparatus with the veteran: | It was decided that the members tn upt- at Last form with fatigue cap instead of fire hat meet at the B. and O. depot at 7:30 on Si day, the 8th, to escort the Erookiyn veterans. Mr. J. W. Thompson reported at 9 o'clock that he had just come from the centen- nial committee, and he learned that com- panies from Frederick and Alexandria and {the Brooklyn veterans will be here in all four to five hundred men, and he Informed | the committee that the association will do |escort duty and house the apparatus as far as possible. Mr. Thompson presented for Mr. Norris of the Sun Company of Alexandria, Va., @ mourning badge used thirty years ago. A vote of thanks was passed, thanking Mrs. J. R.

It Will Give a Public Rehearsal in Oon- vention Hall. This Will Re a Novelty to the Wash- ington Pablic—The Marine Band and the Celebration. The musical portion of the exercises at the centennial celebration of the laying of the corner stone of the Capitol building will be a decided feature of the occasion. ‘The big chorus, which was at first fixed at 1,000 voices, has outgrown its original im- its and now numbers about 1,500. The va- rious divisions have been in active rehear- sal for over a month and some of them have been having two rehearsals a week. ‘Two combination rehearsals have been held, one on Capitol Hill in the Metropolitan Pres- byterfan Church, in which the Capitol Hill, northeast, southwest, Anacostia and Eck- ington divisions participated, and the other at the Congregational Church on Monday night, covering the central city divisions, of which mention was made in The Star yesterday. Another combination rehearsal will be held, probably on Saturday night, to in- clude the western city divisions and George- town. A Grand Pablic Rehearsal. It is desired by the chairman of the chorus committee and also by Director Cloward that there should be one grand as- sembling of the whole chorus, including not only all the city divisions, but those from Hyattsville, Takoma, Rockville, Alexandria and Falls Church, and the only available hall in which to gather so large a body of singers is the Convention Hall over the K street market. This will probably be se- cured and a public rehearsal given about the middie of next week; that ts, the public will be admitted at a nominal price of ad- mission—25 cents. This will be a novelty, for the public will then have an opportunity of seeing just how @ big chorus is drilled. Prof. Cloward will handle his force just ‘the same as though there were no spectators and the singers themselves will not feel any such restraint as at a formal concert. Satisfied With the Progress. ‘The director of the chorus, Prof. Cloward, and his principal assistant, Mr. John P. Lawrence, have visited nearly all the sub- divisions and state that the work in each is progressing in the most satisfactory manner. The chairman of the chorus com- mittee has made many visits and has been present at both combination rehearsals and expresses himself as highly gratified, not only with the large attendance, but ‘with the excellence of the work performed. He Says that the chorus has developed even be- yond his anticipations. When he first men- Uoned the project to Mr. Gardner it was considered hardly posstble to secure a thousand singers who would give the neces- sary time to rehearsals and then sing in | the open air on the day of the celebration. | He insisted on the attempt being made, however, and the result has been the as- sembling of a number fifty per cent great- er than that he fixed as his maximum. Last night the southwest division, under Director George Godron, held a well-at- tended rehearsal at the Baptist Church. The Takoma chorus also held a satisfactory rehearsal last night under the direction of Mr. Theo. Friebus, jr. ‘The Marine Band. It has been anticipated that the United States Marine Band would act in perfect harmony with the chorus in making the musical portion of the celebration a success. | All the numbers that the chorus will sing have been arranged for the band and the accompaniment of such a body of skilled musicians, who have greatly improved their work under the leadership of Prof. Fanciulli, would add greatly to the effect. The presence of the band on that occasion {s assured by the following letter: L. GARDNER, Esq., Chairman, ete. Sir: In reply to your letters of this date I have to inform you that the United States Marine Band has been ordered to report to Dr. F. T. Howe, chairman of the sub-com- mittee, at United States Capitol on the afternoon of Monday, September 18, for such service as may be assigned them in connection with the centennial ceremonies of the laying of the corner stone. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, H. A. HERBERT, Secretary of the Navy. Prof. Fanciulli has personally expressed his interest In the celebration, and {t is un- derstood will give all the assistance possible to the music committee. The Marine Band has four solo numbers on the day program and the same on the program for the even- ing entertainment. ——__ PREPARATIONS WELL ADVANCED | For the Capitol Centennial Celebra- tiom on the 18th. Chairman Lawrence Gardner, Secretary E. B. Hay and the following members of the general committee on Capitol centen- nial celebration were present at the regular weekly meeting of the committee last even- ing: H. L. Biscoe, W. J. Frizzeli, F. A. Leh- mann, Theo. W. Noyes, A. R. Spofford, Thos. W. Smith, A. F. Sperry, Jas. F. Scaggs, Dr. J. M. Toner, Duncan S. Walker, M. I. Weller, L. C. Willlamson, Marshall W. Wines and S. S. Yoder. The meeting was a brief one, the most important matter coming before the committee being the Proposition of the centennial chorus to give @ public rehearsal a few days prior to the celebration In Convention Hall. The mat- ter was, after a brief discussion, left to the discretion of the chairman of the general committee, and Mr. Gardner stated, after the adjournment of the committee, that the rehearsal would be held some evening short- ly prior to the celebration in Convention Hall at popular prices and that the commit- tee would be responsible for the success of the affair as far as It possibly could. Under the call of reports from comm! tees Mr. Spofford stated that Chief Justice Fuller had notified the committee on cere- monies that he regretted that he would be unable to represent the United States Su- preme Court on the occasion of the cele- bration. The committee therefore had in- vited Mr. Justice Brown to represent the court, but had not heard from him in reply. Mr. Walker reported that the invitations would be ready today, and the committee was authorized to have printed as many additional ones as might be neccessary. Mr. Frizzell stated that an additional stand to accommodate 1,000 had been provided for and an appropriation of $400 was authorized for that purpose. Mr. Smith explained that the railroads would be heard from in a day or two in relation to rates, and that the committee on transportation had been un- officially informed that rates would be re- duced about one-third. Chairman Gardner stated that subscriptions were coming in very promptly. He also stated that the souvenir badges would be ready on the 12th and urged members of the various commit- tees to at once notify the general committee as to the number they would like. The officers of the parade committee, he said, would be at headquarters from now on. The committee then adjourned until next Tues- day evening. —_—. MR. BRECKINRIDGE’S ANSW BR. He Files a Demurrer to the Suit of Miss Madeline Pollard. Yesterday afternoon, as stated in The Star, a demurrer was filed in the case of Madeline V. Pollard against Representative W. P. C, Breckinridge for $0,000 damages for breach of promise of marriage. This was in the usual form, reciting that the declaration is bad in substance, and the memorandum as to the points to be ar- gued is as follows: The points of law to be argued are the following: “First. The said declaration consists of three separate counts, which tmproperiy allege three separate contracts of marriagt, and allege that said three contracts to marry were subsisting at one and the same time. “Second. Not more than one contract to marry can subsist at the same time be- tween two persons. “Third. The third count of said declara- tion is bad because it alleges inatters and things which cannot in law he considered substantive facts necessary to constitute a cause of action, thereby Violating rule 26 of the common law rules of the court.”” ‘This is signed by Phil Thompson and Col. Enoch Totten as counsel. Prior to fling this paper, there had been a conference at Col. Totten’s office with Senator Lindsley and Mr. Breckinridge, and they concluded that as they had placed the matter in the hands of the lawyers, they should pursue what course they deemed best. Mrs. Elvira Bliss Sheldon has beea ap- pointed on the national staf of W. R. ¢. She also has charge of the Women’s Ni tional Press Association at the woman's building, world’s fair. MR. ROSS INJURED. Struck by a Cable Oar and Dragged Many Feet. His Life Marvelously Preserved—The Gripman Arrested but Released— Got Off on the Wrong Side. Shortly after 11 o'clock last night District Commissioner John W. Ross narrowly es- caped being crushed to death under the wheels of a west-bound cable car on the avenue, nearly opposite the Metropolitan Hotel. While Mr. Ross miraculously es- caped instant death, he was unfortunately very severely injured, and 1s confined to his bed, where he will probably remain some time as the result of the accident. According to the statements of those who witnessed the accident, Mr. Ross was re- turning from attendance at the banquet tendered to the medical congress at the Arlington Hotel last evening, on a cable car, and desiring to stop at the Metropoll- tan Hotel, jumped from the car when he recalled the fact that the car stopped only at street crossings. Jumping from the track side of the car, he noticed a train bound west, too late to avoid it. He was struck squarely in front by the grip car, the head light being broken by the force of the blow, and thrown in front of the fender. His clothes becoming en- tangled Mr. Ross was dragged some 20 or 30 feet before Gripman Ernest N. Madigan could bring the train to a stanistill. Then the Commissioner was discovered in a semi-conscious condition, :ying between the fender of the grip car and its frst set of wheels. As quickly as possible Mr. Ross was pick- ed up by the bystanders, a great crowd being attracted by the accident, and car- ried to his apartments in the Natlonal Hotel. Owing ‘to the presence of physi- clans at the Arlington Hotel It was some time before one could be found, but finally Dr. F. Bell of Texas, one of the members of the medical congress, was summoued. Dr. Rell hastily examined the injuries of Mr. Ross ani explained that he had suf- fered a fractured rib, a bad cut above the ear and considerable bruises about the head and body. Later the injured man was examined by Drs. Bell, Chamberlin and Briscoe. They reached the conclusion that while seriously injured, Mr. Ross was not fatally so. Dr. Chamberlin, who is a rela- tive of the Commissioner, took charge of the case, and stated this morning that Mr. Ross was resting very well and would re- cover. Arrested and Released. Detective George Boyd, who was one of those who witnessed the accident, accompa- nied the train to Georgetown and there placed Gripman Madigan under arrest. De- tective Boyd then went back to the hotel, and sending word into Commissioner Ross of the gripman’s arrest, Mr. Koss, with his characteristic fairness, sent word out to re- lease the man. as the accident was due alone to his (Ross') forgetfulness. Detec- tive Boyd thereupon directed the release of the gripman. The officer stated to a Star reporter today that Mr. Ross’ size alone prevented him from being crushed and torn by the wheels of the grip, as his body did not pass entirely underneath the fender. The clothing of the Commissioner was badly torn, and those who picked him up were much surprised to discover that he was alive. Both last night and today the news of the accldent,which spread through- out the city with’ wonderful swiftness, caused hundreds of the friends of Commis: stoner Ross to anxiously inquire at the ho- tel as to his condition, and these were greatly relfeved to learn that his injuries, while serous and exceedingly painful, would not prove fatal. —_.—__—_ HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT. The Low Death Rate Kept Up Last Week. The death rate continued on the same low scale last week as for the several pre- vious weeks. There was a decrease of five in the total mortality, while the rate fell from 21.7 to 20.8, the annual being 2.6. There was a material decline in the number of children under five years of age who died. As by the last report these numbered sixty-four, during the last week they amounted to but forty-two. According to the natural law governing these cases the mortality among children will gradually de- cline to the minimum throughout the win- ter months. When the statistics in regard to these are fully made up it will undoubt- edly be seen that fatalities among the chi!- dren were less during the last summer than the average for a number of years back. Since last report there have been eight new cases of diphtheria, with two deaths, and six new cases of scarlet fever, with no death therefrom. ‘The casual increase in the number of fatal cases of billous fevers, as shown by this report, is not fol- lowed’ up by subsequent reports. While this may be called the sickly season of the year, and the time when malaria! aliments mostly prevail, owing to the vast amount of decaying vegetation to be found every- where in the suburbs and along the river, yet thus far the health of the city has been remarkably good. There are no epidemic diseases prevalent, and even those maladics which depend upon season are in abeyance, When the annual death rate has been brought down to 20.8 the hygiente condi- tions must be in a very satisfactory state. In Detail. ‘The week's detailed report trom Dr. Ham- mett, health officer, reports number of deaths, 114; white, 62; colored, 52. Death rate per 1,00 per annum: White, 16.5; col- ored, 30.0. Total population, 20.8. Forty- two were under five years of age, 28 under one year old and 2 over sixty years. Thirty of the deaths occurred in hospitals and pub- Hic institutions, ‘The deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotic, 41; constitutional, 18; local, velopmental, 13; violence, 4. ‘The principal causes of death were: Diphtheria, 2; consumption, 7; diarrhoeal, 15; typhoid fever, 7; malarial fever, pneumonia, 2; congestion of the lungs, 1 measles, 1; whooping cough, 2; kidney dis- eases, 2; meningitis, 3; cancers, 1; aleohol- ism, 2.

A friend told us the «ood done for others by HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA, and we tried it in the spring. Joseph was very thin and pale. Soon after beinning to take HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA he showed a marked improvement. Tle regained a hearty appetite, Srew strong, and his cheeks were no longer pale. ‘He continued the use of it for some tine and steadily improved.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1893. ALEXANDRIA, The Pressure for School Seats. Alexandria always shows its appreciation of its excellent system of public schools on the first Monday of September. The pres- sure on that day to obtain permits for seats shows that the Alexandrians are not going to be left behind if pushing would effect the purpose. Parents and children are al- ways ready on the sidewalk of Peabody Hall as soon as the doors open to press in and get their permits, and not a few retain lively memories of their adventures on such occasions. The small boy is always the boss of the occasion until the policeman comes, and then Tom and Dick and Hal give way to “billy.” On yesterday the crowd was more enterprising than ever, and if Alexandria could always display as much “push,” we would have three electric | railways and ten big factories within six months. The issue of permits was resumed this morning by Clerk Snowden, and so far about 900 permits have been issued to white children. All these have obtained seats in the various schools. Change in Electric Rond Rates. ‘The five-cent tickets on the Alexandria, Washington and Mt. Vernon electric rail- road, which have heretofore carried pas- sengers as far as the dyke on the south side of Hunting creck, will hereafter be good only as far as the Mt. Vernon Hotel in New Alexandria. For ‘the dyke and Places beyond ten-cent tickets will be re- quired. The Alexandria County Court. ‘The county court of Alexandria county 1s in session here. Judge R. H. Tebbs of Lou- doun county presides, as Judge Chichester is sick. The grand jury bas returned true bills against John Becket, Thos. Burke, George Hunt, Henry Reynolds, and James Willis for selling lottery tickets; William Carter, Fred Dyson, John Paton, and Thos. Wise for selling liquor without a license, and Edward Bradley for house breaking, George Ouden, charged with the murder of Swift, the old soldier, near Rosslyn, was discharged. The report of the commission- ers on the new road from the free bridge at the aqueduct to the Military road has been submitted to the court. Notes. The lawn party of the Colored Catholic Young Men's Club in the grounds of the Parochial school near the tunnel at the corner of Royle and Wilkes streets made that neighborhood bright last night with music and lights. Mrs. John T. Hi widow of the late col- lector of taxes, 1s very low at her home un | Lee street. She is a most estimable lady, and the community wishes a speedy return of her health. Labor Day carried considerable crowds from this city to Riverside Park, but the only observance here was that the banks were closed and the postoffice suspended business for a portion of the day. The centennial chorus rehearsal, under the direction of Professor Gambrill at Pea- body Hall, was largely attended Monday night, elghty-three being present. An ad- ditional rehearsal will take place on Thurs- day night next. There are now ninety-five Alexandria choristers. Miss Sarah Steuart, Gen. M. D. Corse,and School Superintendent Kemper have each night-blooming cereus plants in bloom at their residences. ‘The police here were not informed of the attack made by a colored man with a re- Volver on Mr. George H. Hay, driver of a Washington ice wagon which came to this city last Saturday. ——___ No Such Office.
