William Johnson, a thirteen-year-old col- ored boy, caused a scare on 9th street this morning about 9 o'clock, when he drew from his pocket an old “pepperbox” pistol and pointed it at a number of persons who were pursuing him. He had calied at Oden’s shoe store, on lth street, and ran out with a pair of shoes that had been left to be repaired. When he reached 9th street Officer Kelly got off a car and went to ar- Test him, when he drew the old weapon and pointed it at him. The officer did not scare so easily, and so the boy was taken in custody. “In his pocket the officer found a large stone. Later in the morning the boy appeared in Judge Miller's court, and was tried on two charges. He denied that he stole the shoes. ‘The court sentenced him to jail for three months for having the pistol and thirty days for stealing the shoes. > Young Lady Soldiers. Mr. Frank Eugene Skinner, who was major of the first battalion, High School Cadets, last year, and who will probably be colonel this year, is drilling a company of young ladies at Takoma Park. He has six- teen pretty gitls rapidly jerfecting fancy marching and the manual with flags. The young ladies will wear red. white and blue costumes and the best drilled .nember wiil be presented with a handsome xvid medal. ‘The progress so far reflects great credit on Col. Skinner. and on the night of No- vember 3, when the drill will uccur in the Presbyterian Church at Takoma, the public will have a chance to see that girls can be ust_as good soldiers as boys.

The Details of the Tragedy as Told by Eye Witnesses—Other Mat- ters of Interest. “Thos. Edward Matthews came to his death from a gun shot wound in the thigh and abdomen, between the hours of Il p. m. Septerrber 30 and 2 a.m October 1, at or near the Broad Branch road. From the evidence we belteve the gun to have been in the hands of John Ellsworth Shoemaker. Such was the decision of the jury that at 3 p.m. yesterday convened to hear testimony and fix the responsibility for the death of Thos. Matthews, the colored boy who was killed at about 12:30 o'clock Sunday mozn- ing. The jurors were John Garrett, Charles Parker, Frank Thomas, W. Orndorff, Wil- Mam Carter and Harry Howes. Lucy Mat- thews, a sister of the dead man, who was the first called, stated in brief that she heard the two men, her brother and Shoe- maker, the accused quarreling. Later she heard the shot fired. John Barnes said that he, Shoemaker and John Hyson met Matthews on the road near Mullen’s saloon and they all went over to drink. ‘There Shoemaker and the colored boy be- came ang:y with each other while disput- ing a pugilistic point. Blows were ex- changed. The men were separated and then witness and Hyson left. They had not gone far when a shot was heard. On going back they found Matthews lying on the ground bleeding. Took him up and carried him home in a wagon. Then dis- covered him dead. Hyson coroborated the foregoing. Mrs. Helen Keifer testified that she was awakened by Shoemaker, who asked for God's sake to let him have a gun, as there were burglars in his house. She gave it to him and later heard the shot that killed or helped to kill. The gun was returned. It was then o'clock by her husband's watch. He wus away at the time. It was asce-tained by Deputy Coroner Schaefer that the wound in the head, which at first seemed so severe, was but a trivial one compared to the gun shot wound. The shot was found to have broken the pelvic bone and to have severed the femoral artery. Some shot and a wad were taken from the wound. Death of a Sister. Yesterday there passed away, at the Georgetown Convent, Sister Mary Loretta, a former mother superior. On her retire- ment from that office she assumed the du- ties of directress. Sister Zoretta entered the house of seclusion away back in 1863, imme- diately on her graduation. Before the tek- ing of vows she was <nown us Miss Carrie King, the daughter of a prominent rews- Paper man of Washington. Hier brother Joseph also devoted his life to religion and the church, becoming a Jesuit. he was stationed at Georsew Nege. The funeral of the dead sister was held this morning at $ o'clock, the interment being made in the nuns’ burying ground within the convent walls. The solemn pro- cession that followed the remains to the grave was made up of priests, aldolytes, sisters and academy pupils. The services were as simple as had been the life of the deceased.

All sorts of excuses were made, but not many of them were ac- cepted. Pressure of business and sickness were the principal excuses, while one man drawn was a resident of Virginia. Deaf- ness was the excuse of one talesman, and Judge Miller said he thought some jurors would do just as well by not hearing as they would by hearing. He was excused, | A railroad porter was excused, and severai lof the sick ones were also relieved. An- | other effort to complete the jury will be made tomorrow.

Albaugh’s.—When the curtain was lower- ed for the last time at Albaugh’s Theater last night no one who had sat through th clever performance of “Delmonico’s at 6 as Interpreted by Marie Jansen and an ex- cellent company, doubted that the scene it brought to an end was the culmination of a real success. Like most first-night audi- ences, they were, perhaps, too friendly for any criticism that approached to harshnes but as they listened to the really meritori ous play which Glen McDonough has writ- ten for this new company their applause gained in sincerity as in volume, and good will found that {t had nothing to do except to give deserved approval an adequate ex- pression. From her work last night Miss Jansen will undoubtedly give in comedy of the lighter sort and where too much depth and vehemence of feeling are not required even more satisfaction to her admirers than she did in comfc opera. Miss Jansen Is al- ways nice to look upon, admirably dressed, and has a catching a!r and laugh that is frresistible. Her voice, while not a great one, is sweet, and the songs she sang were given with ‘good effect. The supporting company is exceptionally strong in every part. Frank Tannehill, jr. has rarely done better work and May Merrick did full jus- tice to the part of the jealous wife. Hope Ross and Ressie Lackey were effective, par- ticularly the latter, who made a verv fa- vorable impression. and Ignacio Martl- netti, William Norris, Charles Mason and Ered Peters were all that could be destre President Cleveland and a majority of h ¢abinet occupied the two lower left hand boxes, while an exceptionelly brilliant au- dience was gathered in the body of the house. Many people were turned awev owing to the lack of accommodation, while @ couple of hundred people made up the body of standees in the rear of the house. New National Theater.—A good-size? au- Gience was nresent at the New National Theater last night and enjoyed a comedy entitled “The Sportsman” presented by a good company. the chief member of which is Mr. A. M. Kennedy. The work done by all the people was excellent and if there Was any disapnointment it was that the play was not up to their standard. The Franz Family, who appeared at the close of the performance, created the greatest amount of enthvsiagm by their clever and graceful acrobatic feats. There ara three Indies and they apnear in long skirts and do the most surprisine acts, turning som- ersanits and handsprings with as much recklessness as If they wore the weal cos- tume of simply tights and trinks. ‘They are the cleverest troune of acrobats that hns been seen in this city for a lone time. and thett performance {s as graceful as it is unique. Academy of Music.—The nautical pant. mimic comedy entitled “Fight Rells” bas been seen in this city hefore. but that did not prevent a good andience from going to the Academy of Music last night and langhing heartily at the Brothers Byrne and their comnany. There was also good singing and dancing and the mechanical effects were startling and Interesting. Many improvements have been made In the plece Since It was last presented here and the Specialties are all excellent. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—Since the death of Fritz Emmett few actors have been able to get such a firm hold upon the hearts of the women and children as James A. Reilly. Last night he opened a week's engagement at Harris’ Bljou, and his appearance was the signal for enthusiastic applause. The play, “A German Soldief,” is not a new one to local theater-goera, yet, since its last ap- pearance here,there have been many changes until now it may be classed as a new pro- duction. In the leading role Mr. Reilly made a host of new friends, and his sing- ing and dancing was encored again and again. A feature of the performance was the elimination of the tiresome waits be- tween the acts and the substitution of spe- clalties. The musical Earles were excel- lent, and the imitation of Lottle Ccllins in her great Ta-ra-ra-Boom-de-ay by Master Robbie Reilly completely captured the au- dience. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The French Folly Company, with Bobby Manchester in command, opened at Kernan’s last night to a big business. There was a score of new and pretty faces, the costuming was elab- orate. and the entertainment first-class. The curtain raiser was a one-act comedy-burlet- ta entitled “Parisian Frolics."" It proved a good medium of testing the strength of the Then came a strong olio headed Emma Krause, late of the Emma Opera Company, who charmed Ms Abbott every one. That clever dialect comedian, Geo. P. Murphy, was assisted in “A Dress Rehearsal” by Miss Kitty Kursale, a charm. ing little dancing soubrette. Cook and Clin- ton, the lady sharpshooters; Fitzgerald and Kelly, comedians; Siegrist and Doza, in a highly entertaining act entitled “The Clown and the Poodle.” and Gilmore and Leonard, Irish delineators. A roaring burlesque en- titled “The Isle of Mixed Drinks" closed the program. Gold ‘Souvenirs.—At Albaugh’s Grand Opera House next Monday evening Marion Manola and John Mason will present for the first time In_ this city their operatic comedy “Friend Fritz.” It will also be the 200th performance of this entertainment, and in honor thereof handsome gold enamel- ed souvenir sword pins will be presented to the ladies. —_—> __ Fell From a Window. ‘Mr. Frederick Coppes, who lives at 2619 K street, fell from an upper story window of the house on Saturday night and re- celved severe internal injuries from which he died yesterday. Mr. Coppes is a one-armed man and had been ill for some time, so that he was not strong, and in an effort to raise a window preparatory to retiring for the night, he leaned too far out and lost his balance, falling to the ground below. He was later removed to Providence Hospital and received medical attendance at the hands of Dr. Newman. ‘The injured man was formerly connected with Heurich'’s brewery, but left there last June. Since then he had been in bad health and for a time was at a hospital. The story wes started yesterday that the affair was an’ attempt at suicide in a man- ner similar to that of the late Mr. B. K. Plain, who was a friend of Mr. Coppes up to the time that he killed himself by diving off a building. This story, however, the friends of Mr. Coppes indignantly deny. They say that it was purely an accident caused by his weakened condition and the fact that he had but one arm. Mr. Coppes died at 1:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He served through ‘the civil war in company C, twenty-second regiment of Pennsylvania, in which he was promoted to be first Meutenant. He was the first grand chancellor and organized the first lodge of Knights of Pythias in Pennsvi- vania, and was a prominent member of the Elks and also of the Fat Men's Club of this city. His funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock from his late rest- dence, 2619 K street northwest. The inter- ment will be in Glenwood. ltation.

Complaints come from captains of ves- sels entering in the Chesapeake and its tributaries that the quarantine officers, who are supposed to be stationed at the capes right in the course of incoming and outgoing vessels, keep their boat most of the time at Fort Monroe, which {s a much pleasanter place, and compel vessels to come there, although it is far out of their course. The vessel masters complain that they lose much time. It is said that they do not dare say much on the ground for fear the officers will make {t unpleasant for them by delaying thelr vessels, Am Act of Vandalism, ‘The police of the fourth precinct and the neighbors of 6th and F streets southwest are at a loss to account for a deed of vandal. ism other than pure devilishness.

Opening Proves = Splendid Success. ‘That the opening of the new Palais Royal building at the corner of 1th and G streets was an event of more than usual interest to the feminine world was proved yester- day by the fact that all day long the spa- cious store was crowded to the doors by an admiring throng. One might almost be- leve that he was in the old building, for the crowd was sufficient to fill the im- mense new establishment beyond the point of comfort. The store was elaborately decorated with big palms and plants of different descrip- ttons and this added materially to the beauty of the scene. In addition to the ladies there was a surprisingly large sprink- ling of men in the crowd, among them many leading business men, who were there to comment favorably upon the enterprise of Mr. Lisner in his new departure. There was nothing but praise, not only for the size of the store, but for its excellent ar- Tangement and adaptability to its uses. Mr. Lisner has been flooded with con- gratulatory telegrams from out-of-town friends upon the opening of his new estab- lishment. They came by the dozen, and ‘among them were messages from many of the leading business houses tn the country. From New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other places, as well, they poured in upon him, and all were in the same pleasant tone of congratulation, and were filled with expressions of the heartiest good feeling and hopes for the continued prosperity of himself and his great business. Last even- ing the new store was kept open so that all might have an opportunity to view its beauties by electric lIght. A LAW SCHOOL BEGINS. i of the Twenty-Fifth Term of the National University. The twenty-fifth term of the law school of the National University commenced last night at the college building, 13th street be- tween H and I streets northwest. The ses- sion was opened by an address to the stu- dents by Judge MacArthur, chancellor of the school, who gave the young men some sound advice about the coming term of study and encouraged them to their best endeavors. Judge Alvey, chief justice of the District Court of Appeals, who is to be the lecturer on constitutional law, made a short ad- dress upon the program which is to be fol- lowed in this branch of the studies during the year.

Mary Louisa Welty has filed a bill against Abraham Lincoln Welty for a divorce through Mr. E. L. Geis. She states they were married at St. Peter's parsonage Feb- ruary 5, 18, her maiden name being Es- puta. She charges from the night of mar- riage till they separated he treated her with great cruelty, kicking and striking her. She asks the custody of her child and alimony. In the divorce case of Annie M. Cowing against Rudolph S. Cowing the defendant has, by Mr. Campbell Carrington, filed an- swer denying the charges made that he as- saulted her or cruelly treated her or that she had any good reason for living apart from him, and says he can only account for her desertion by what she told him a short time before she left him that “she did not love him and had been untrue to him for over four months, and her love was for her lover.” He avers that he has always supported her in a manner suitable to her station in life, and denies that she is without means of support, as she is a spiritualistic trance medium, earning fully as much as his salary as clerk in the Treasury Department, and is now attending @ spiritualistic convention in Chicago. —— Temperance Anniversary.

From the Contemporary Review. Slavery has been abolished in name, but it can never be abolished in fact, for the slaves have no means of supporting them- selves outside their masters’ houses. Every member of the Siamese upper classes can fetter his servants or throw them into prison without any kind of trial or per- mission being necessary. One morning 1 went to call upon one of the ablest and most enlightened of the ministers, a man who has been to Europe, and who once actually got into serious trouble for trying to inaugurate a sort of woman's right move- ment in Siam. I made my way by mistake into a part of his grounds where visitors were not expected, and I found a slave fastened down to the ground in an ingentous kind of pillory, in which he could not move hand or foot, while another siave tortured him with severe strokes of a bamboo rod at the word of a member of the family in onter to force him to confess to some mis- In_the case of Joseph A.
