Same sold to same, also, lots 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, block 24, of St. Philip and Jacob, the consid- eration being $22,740. Bethesda Park Deserted. For some time Bethesda Park has been threatened with a raid on account of the alleged sale of Mquors that was going on there. Yesterday the sheriff and his as- sistants swooped down upon the place, but accomplished nothing, the manager having gotten wind of the officers’ intentions and stolen away in the early morning light, taking all easily movable things with him. For some time the place has been adver- tised as being under the management of Christie and Hart, but the former has been an invisible factor for sme months. The place has not paid the past summer, and it is said that Mr. Har: did not leave with reluctance. He was glad to get away and cnly wanted an incentive. As soon as the children discovered that the place was without a manager, the flying horses, roller coaster and other like amusement’ appli- ances were taken possession of and run the entire day. The hotel furniture and amuse- ment features are the property of the owners of the park, Messrs. John E. Beall and his associates. Basiness Improvements. Architect C. W. Sommerville has pre- pared plans for fitting up the new tron front offices of the First Co-operative butld- ing on High street above N. The offices will be divided by, a handsomely Paneled screen, with glass and me- tallic quill panels. The entire interior will be plain and business like, but at the same time replete with all modern office conveniences. The screen will be of clear poplar staine? in cherry, and finished in hard oll. There will be a public office, a private one, and also an office for the board of directors. Contracts will be let tomor- row. Rock Creek Sewer. Rock creek has’ filled up so within the Past year that its depth between the P street briige and its mouth is now hardly a foot, and another month or two threatens to bring the bottom of the open sewer to the level of its original banks. The dumps of soft earth along the lower course are responsible for the filling, every rain carrying great quantities of the ai- luvial down. The water was, as usual, let out of the creek yesterday by the opening of the gates at its mouth and the condition of the bed was remarked upon by every observant passerby. Street Levels. The middle of the Q street roadway near 3th is so much higher than the curb on the south, that water flows over on the sidewalk and into the basement houses re- cently erected there every time it rains. The Commissioners, who have been ap- proached and asked to have the grade Properly lowered, replied to the petitioners, Messrs. J. H. Bradley, J. Barton Miller and others, most affected, that the con- struction of the catch basins in the alley on the south line of Cooke Park and on the south side of Q street would be undertaken a8 soon as possible during the present fiscal year. In the meantime the water will flow into the basements and damage them more. Prosperous Canal. As long as doth King Commerce reign so Jong will the Chesapeake and Ohio canal be known as one of the greatest arteries of trade in this section of the United States. ‘The old waterway has done much to make Maryland what she ts, both politically and commercially; she has placed northern Vir- ginia in close’ and the District of Columbia, and she has made Georgetown, that produces practically noth- ing of a commercial nature, one of the bus- easy communication with 2 Finney Engle, M.

In the Police Court Saturday, Judge Kim- ball had something to say abgut the speed of the electric cars on the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad. Dorr Cooksey, the motorman on the car that ran over the lit- tle child of Mr. Belt, was on trial, charged with running his car at a rate of speed greater t?an four miles an hour. He plead not guilty. Policeman Upperman had charge of the case, and several witnesses were called to give evidence as to the rate of speed of the car on the day of the sad accident. An old colored woman, named Mary Pinkney, was the only witness who claimed to have seen the car just before the acckient. “The car was going pretty fast,” was what she satd. a ~ the court asked her. “How fast? couldn't say,” was her response. ble going as fast as the cable cars?” “Was the speed as fast as the horse cars?” “I couldn't say.” As the proof falled to sustain the charge, the case was dismissed. In dismissing the case Judge Kimball said he wanted the motormen on these cars to understand that they will have to be careful in running their cars. ‘Had the proof been sufficient in this case,” said the judge, “the penalty would have been a heavy one. The lives of citi- zens are constantly in danger, and this fast running will have to be stopped. I have witnessed the fast running of the cars on this hill, and as I have already stated, if a case is brought into court and sustained the penalty will be a severe one.” —_. HELPING THEIR RACE. The Mission Work Carried o: by the Colored Sunday School le The needs and work of the missions in the alleys conducted by colored people were set forth yesterday afternoon at a mass meeting of the Sunday School Union at the 19th Street Baptist Church. Twenty- one schools were represented by delegates, and the statement was made that there are 14,000 colored children in the public schools and some eight or ten thousand in the Sun- day schools. Addresses were made by William Walter, Rev. S. H. Dyson, John A. Smith, Rev. J. T. Jenifer, Mrs. K. F. Brown,” Rev. 8. B. Wallace, Rev. S. N. Browne, Mr. Thomas Wright and Rev. F. T. Greene. A coilection was taken up for the benefit of the work. The union which has been organized over forty years, has always been a missionary institution. "It has founded and aided more Sunday schools in hard neighborhoods than nearly any other organization in the Dis- trict. Teachers from both races are sent into these bad neighborhoods and have done considerable work of reformation. ‘The union rents and furnishes these rooms. A lack of funds has hampered the labors of the general officers. Teachers and work- ers are plentiful. The only trouble is a want of comfortable, or even suitable quarters in which to gather the children. sities reraile AT THE RIVER FRONT. Arrived. Schooners H. L.

Ye afternoon os Ep terers League of the District held a public meet- ing at the First Congregational Church, the meeting was very largely attended. President Canfield of the league presided, and a number of local clergymen occupied seats upon the platform. The purpose of the league, explained President Canfield, was to create a strong public sentiment against thi Nquor traffic and to secure a strict enforcement of the Uquor law and regulations. The Rev. Mr. Patch, pastor of the Gunton Me- morial Presbyterian Church, stated that while he did not exactly approve of the methods recently adopted by the Virginian, Mr. James, in demolishing the property of the liquor dealers with a club, yet he urged every one to use every legitimate means to oppose the sale of liquor. Mr. Patch’s allusion to Mr. James’ crusade against the traffe was vigorously applauded. Mr. Ed- mund J. Redmond, president of the Father Mathew Total Abstinence Society, sald the fact that the new liquor law authorizes the issuance of a Mquor lcense to any estab- Ushed hotel was being taken advantage of by the saloon keepers, who were all turn- ing their sgloons into hotels. Addresses were also made by Rev. W. 8. Brooks, Governor Hughes of Arizona and others. —__ Beaten by the Pennsylv: ia Eleven. The foot ball team of the Columbia Ath. letic Club suffered defeat at the hands af the eleven of the University of Pennsyl- vania in Philadelphia Saturday. The score was 30 to 0 A decision of Referee Sam King on the point of a safety touch-down Prevented the Columbias from scoring in the second half. The play lasted forty minutes. Pennsylvania scored three touch- downs in the first half, but could make no goal. In the second half three goals re- sulted from as many touch-downs. The Columbias put up a strong game, despite the heavy odds against them, and showed some fine work in interfering. ‘The Wash- ington team lined up as foilows: Weaver, left end; Johnson, left tackle; Ranter, left guard; Schwartz, center; Pickett, right guard; Fugitt, right tackle; Eaton, right end; ‘Sefton, " quarter-back; Veazey und Madetry, left half-back; Lewis, right half- back, and Shields, full-back. _ To Perfect a Title. A bill in equity was filed Saturday after- noon against John C. Lang, by Mrs. Emma Loeliger of Alexas.dria, Va., in behalf of her children, to perfect their title to Jot 11, square 778, this city. The bill alleges that the property was inherited by the children from their father, John Loeliger; that the lot, which is unimproved, has been sold several times for non-payment of taxes, fin- ally falling into the hands of the defendant; that the previous purchasers failed to ob- tain deeds for it, and that she will agree to a sale of the*lot, the settlement of Lang's claim and a payment out of the sale in lieu of her dower. a Declared Insane. Henson Snowden, a colored man, whose home is on 3d street southwest, attracted the attention of passers-by about the cor- ner of 15th street and New York avenue Friday evening. He seemed to be excited, an@ was talking of a colored ian, who, he said, was trying to poison him. The man, he claimed, had been employed by a white man. It was evident that the man was in- sane, and en officer arrested him. Last night in the station he attempted suicide by knocking his head against the iron bars. ‘This was after he had been pronounced in- sane by Police Surgeons Nevitt and Can- non, and he was removed to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. He will be’ sent over to St. Elizabeth's, To Help Children, The Mizpah branch of the Ministering Children's League of this city has resumed its regular week!y meetings. The annual election of officers resulted as follows: Warden, E. T. Price; vice warden, B. V. Darrell; secretary, Master John Wright, jr.; treasurer, Master Norton Everett; ser- geant-at-arms, Master Allen Harmon, and sentinel, Master Gilbert Thompson.’ Sev- eral new members were elected and a board of management was chosen, to whom was committed the duty of reporting upon all worthy cases. The secretary, Master John Wright, jr., 1337 10th street northwest, was directed to furnish all information to those interested in the work of the league. Dr. Hamlin’s Evening Talk. A change has been made in the Sunday evening service at the Church of the Cov- enant. The pastor, Rev. Dr. Hamlin, in place of delivering the usual sermon, ‘will talk on the subject of the Sabbath school lesson for the next Sabbath. For some time past he has been giving these talks in the lecture room each Sabbath at the close of the morning service, and by request he changes the time, in order to accommodate a wider audience. —————_ A Pastor Surprised. Rev. Dr. G. James Jones, pastor of the Tabernacle Congregational Church, and family had a pleasant surprise Friday evening. Members of the church congre- gation, Sabbath school and Christian En- deavor took absolute charge of the house, but left behind a vast number of presents. The church is in a flourishing and pros- perous condition, and the labors of the pas- tor are appreciated. HE JUMPED OVERBOARD. Harry B. Jackson Commits Saturday Afternoon. Harry B. Jackson, a young man who lived with his parents at 923 L street northwest and clerked in the Ebbitt House cigar store, ended his life Saturday afternoon by jump- ing in the river from the Pilot Boy, the boat being used by the Alexandria Ferry Company to run between this city and Alexandria. His act was the result of some thought upon the subject, for he had talked of suicides recently and had even made mention of the fact that he was going to take his life. But his companion to whom he made the statement paid no attention to what he said, as he looked upon it as a joke. It was no joking matter so far as young Jackson was concerned, for he went to the raii and made a dive into the water below. His body went down and the efforts of the boat hands in small boats to rescue his body proved fruitless. ‘When the boat reached this city the poiice were informed of what had taken place, and the police boat Joe Blackburn went to the Scene of the drowning. The search was continued until the men stopped work on account of darkness. Yesterday the search was renewed, and at 6 o'clock in the afternoon the officers were rewarded for their labor. The body of the young man was taken to Burgdorf’s under- taking establishment and prepared for burial. Deceased was nineteen years old, and no reason is given for his act, unless he was temporarily insane, the result of an injury to the head while he was attending school. His funeral will take place tomor- row afternoon. George Refdy died in Providence Hospital last night, the result of a dose of laudanum administered by his own hand. He lived at 620 Gordon avenue and had been out of work for some time. Yesterdey afternoon, about 6 o'clock, he was taken vick and his wife sent for a physician in the nelghbor- hood, but the drug had too strong « hold on him, and he was removed to the hospitai in the ambulance. Coroner Woodward made an investigation of both cases and gave the necessary cer- tificates, feide on “As You Like It.” ‘The cast of “As You Like It” for the in- door al fresco performance to be given in Convention Hall tomorrow and Wednesday evenings for the benefit of the liberty bell reception entertainment fund will be a strong one. Lords, hunters and attendants on the banished duke will be impersonated by the following members of the Capital Glee Club: First tenors, Wm. T. Reed, Dr. Malcomb A. Cudlipp, Dr. D. H. Riggs, Wm. E. Smith, B_W. Beebe and Jacob Scharf. ‘Second tenors, 8. Hazen Bond, Norman H. Camp, Willis B. Magruder, J. G. Traylor, Geo. Scharf and 8. P. Mason. First basses, Edward O. Asmussen, H. H. Craft, W. A.

Du Shane Cloward, and the orchestra wili be conducted by Mr. N. Stein. Tonight there will be a full dramatic and musical rehearsal on the stage in Conven- tion Hall. ‘The sale of seats at Mertz’s has been quite lively all day, and indicates large audiences for both nights. —.__ A Night With Spirits. A large audience at the Academy of Music last night was mystified by the per- formances of Miss Anna Eva Fay, or rith- er the performances that took place around Miss Fay, for it was claimed that she did not do anything herself, but was the me- dium through which the spirits worked. Judge MacArthur and Gen. Birney were nomnated to represent the audience on the stage and they examined the cabinet and other paraphernalia, tied the knots that bound Miss Fay and attended to the other duties of an investigating committee. A part of Miss Fay's performance was in a dark cabinet, but a good deal of 1c was ‘on the stage in the full light. Tables fol- lowed her hand into the air, pencils wrote Messages and a wooden hand tapped out messages on a glass plate. In the cabinet musical instruments were played and thrown about and there were other mani- festations, including the appearance of hands through the curtains, although the medium was reported to be securely bound. ——_ There Were Two. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will you kindly inform me through the columns of your valuable paper whether any President since Lincoln's administra- tion has convened Congress in extrao! nary session, and, if any, the reason signed for said cail. Respectfully, ae Since the admitiistration of President Lin- coln only two special sessions of Congress have been called, and they were both dur- ing the administration of President Hayes. ‘The first occurred October 15, 187, during the first year of Hayes’ administration, and the second March 18, 1879. Both had as their object the passing of appropriation bills neglected by the preceding regular ses- ston. —.__ Died Naturally. Anthony Navarre, a well known half- breed Indian, died at his lodgings, 333 Mis- sour avenue, last evening after a short ill- ness. It was said by some that there were reasons for the belief that he had been foully dealt with, but on the body being examined by Dr. Woodward, the coroner, a certificate of death from cerebral hemor- rhage, superinduced by strong drink, was given. The deceased was interested ‘for a number of years in prosecuting Indian claims before the Interior Department, and was well known to a large number of pub- Me men. He was also Interested in an In- dian herb medicine, through which he be- came known to the public generally and was also interested in the manufacture of small monuments for mantel decoration. He was a man of fine physique and of good education and had made considerable money, much of which disappeared as a result of his drinking habit. A petition has been filed by F. A. G. Handy for the appointment of a committee on the estate of Gertrude Handy, who was committed to St. Elizabeth's Insane Asy- Tum in August, 1992, that an insurance pol- fey in which she is named as the bene- ficiary may be continued. —>— Sunday School Meeting. There will be a meeting of Sunday schoo? workers held this evening at 7:30 o'clock at the Calvary Baptist Church, 8th and H streets, to hear the reports of the delegates who represented the District of Columbia at the late international and world’s Sun- day school conventions, held in St. Louis.

Bryer of St. Mary's College, and Dr. Hughes of Washington, relate their happy experience at the hands of the great healer, Dr. J. D. MacLennan, now located in Washington, D. C., at 223 '4 1-2 st. n.w., where he continues to exercise his healing powers. Dr. Hughes of Washington, says: After my own skill, being a practicing physician of over forty years and counsel fro sev- eral others of good repute, failed to give any relief from the torture of Epithelomia (Tic Dolorue) with which I had suffered for od over two years the most excruciating pain, I applied to Dr. MacLennan and received seven treatments from him and in truth must say I was relieved of all suffering. I sleep weil, eat without pain and enjoy a Peaceful state of mind such as I have not felt for several years. I recommend the doctor, as I know he is doing much and relieving suffering which medical skill cannot reach. A. 8S. HUGHES, M. D. Slaughter, Kings county, Washington. Re M. Bryer, at St. Mary’s College, says: “Within the brief time that I have been under Dr. MacLennan’s care he has given me more relief than I have had in many years and I have suffered less. I cannot speak too highly in his praise, and you have my full permission to commend him to the suffering public as deserving of their patronage and as one who will afford them relief from suffering where it is pos- sible by human aid to give it.” ite Children.
