Seaeintoe Seve THE DAY SET For Argumen: the Ford’s Disaster Api Cane. As a result of an agreement reached by District Attorney Birney and counsel for Messrs. Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and Sasse, the four men twice indicted for man- slaughter in connection with the Ford's ‘Theater disaster of June 9 last, an order was passed by the Court of Appeals this morning setting the appeal of the accused from Judge McCom=s' decision dismissing their demurrer to the indictments for argu- ment on Tuesday, the 7th of next month. The heating of the appeal by. the Court of Appeals will, of course, stay the trial of the men until after the court’s decision in the matter. Should the Court of Appeals sus-, tain the decision of Judge McComas there would be then no further recourse for the defendants but to stand a trial on one of the two indietments returned against them, and in the event of an aifirmance of Judge McComas’ decision it will be the purpose of District Attorn ey to move for a trial at the very earliest day practicable. Should, however. the Court of Appeals sustain the defendants’ demurrer, the accused wouid, of course, huve to be again indicted. ug in the case of sopho- jazing Robert I. Letpold, ington. One of the sophomores was dismissed with a recom- mendation of severe purishment by the authorities outside the college, two others were dismissed. two were suspended until 7 one was suspended till March 1, one till Thanksgiving day, and one till November 1.

TenleytownVigorously Urging Some Much- Needed Beforms. Educational Facilities Complained of —Cat im Rallroad Employew Wages—A Dangerous Hill. Messrs. James ©. Hoppe, Samuel Wen- dell, Charles Hines, Wm. Britt and Ernest McCobb were the citizens selected last night at Tenleytown mass meeting to de- termine the exact school population of the neglected district and report at the meeting to be held in the town hall on Monday evening next at 7:30 o'clock. It is then pro- posed to discuss more fully the needs of Tenleytown from an educational standpoint principally,.and appoint another committee to wait upon the school commissioners and urge an immediate and favorable action. What Tenleytown needed first and at once, it was stated, was an eight-room school housé and more teachers. Those at present in charge were being almost work- ed to death. Dr. Chappell, a former principal of the school, but now a practitioner of medicine, spoke on the question from a personal knowledge of the existing condition of things. Mr. Ernest McCobb, who is work- ing with heart and soul for the advance- ment of his town, presided at the meeting. He will work for Tenleytown, he says, and assist in the getting of her rights, if he has to give up his business. ‘On next Monday sewers and lights will be brought into the list of Tenleytown’s wants. ‘The physicians of the place have already elaborated in public upon the danger that the citizens were constantly in the midst of through the absence of drainage facilities. On the Canal. About 100 coal men of the Cumberland region met yesterday and organized them- selves in a body for the mutual protection of their interests.

Cat in Wages. ‘The wages of the employes of the George- town and Tenleytown Railroad Company will receive a cutting down on the 16th of the present month. In addition to this the motormen and conductors have been or- dered to work for twelve hours hereafter. The reduction not only affects those who run the cars, but the oilers, machinists and other employes of the company. A Dangerous Hil The slope of the south side of M street be- tween 3ist and 32d streets is so steep that it is stated by a merchant on the block that 3% per cent of all the horses that pass slip and 10 per cent fall. Several of the town's best animals have received injuries of no trivial nature. Some years ago this defect- ive grade was the cause of a mass meeting. It was then remedied and all went well for some time. Then the» Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company's tracks were raised and the old and dangerous grade re-established. Seven horses fell yes- terday, four knocking the skin off their front jegs. Many of those who know the condition of the place keep to the left in going east. This, of course, conflicts with those going west. Often there are little collisions in consequence. The cable cars which stop, too, on this square don’t assist much in the removal of the obstacles to a free passage, Short Paragraph: Robert M. Libbey yesterday sold to Johan- na Brown lot 5, in A. R.

Ollie V., An Annual Convention of the Organti- Representing the Young People The fourth annual convention of the Young People’s Christian Union of the Uni- versalist Church will meet in the Church of Our Father October 16 and 17. The Chris- tian Union, which in its general scope and method bears close resemblance to the Christian Endeavor of other churches, was organized in Rochester, N. Y., October, 1889, and from an unpretentious beginning has grown to a membership of nearly 15,000, besides organizing and maintaining several churches in regions of the country where its work hitherto had been unknown. It supports an official organ, published in Bos- ton. Societies have been formed in twenty- four states, and wherever Universalism gains a foothold there the Christian Union becomes its valued and aggressive adjunct. ‘The officers are Herbert B. Briggs, Cleve- land, Ohio, president; Jas. D. Tillinghast, Tuft's College, secretary; Miss Lizzie H. Goldthwaite, Danvers, Mass., treasurer. ‘The program for the annual convention, as thus far arranged, is as follows: Monday, October 16-9 a. m., praise and devotional meeting, led by Perry D.

The regular monthly meetings of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association were re- sumed last evening, when the association met in the Congregational Church of the village, some twenty-or more members being present. The meeting was called to order by President Somerville and Mr. 8. E. Thomason acted as secretary in the ab- sence of Secretary Exley. Chairman E. W. Woodruff of the commit- tee on sewers and water submitted the copy of a memorial sent to the District Commissioners asking that the estimated surplus of $4,000) over cost of the extension of the Spring street sewer to the 7th street road be applied to the construction of a sewer on Howard ‘enue and Center street; that the Park street sewer be continued from itth to 17th streets; that sewers Se laid in Brown, Meridian, Oak and Laurel streets; that the I7th street sewer be ex- tended north from Howard avenue to the Piney branch sewer; that 15th street and Grant street be sewered,.and that catch basins be put in at corners of streets where necessary, as promised last spring. Chairman F. L. Campbell of the commit- tee on streets and sidewalks stated that his committee had submitted a communi- cation to the District Commissioners mak- ing request as follows: That l4th street ex- tended be widened northward from Kene- saw avenue past the car stables and to Lenman place; that Park street between 16th and Iith streets be graded and paved; that 15th street be extended northward through to Howard avenue via Pine street that 15th street be brought to grade and that sidewalks be laid between Columbia road and Howard avenue, this conditioned in part on the extension of 15th street via Pine street to Howard avenue; that School Street be extended to Kenesaw avenue; that Center street from Howard avenue to Iith street (near Piney branch) be graded and paved; that sidewalk be laid on Brown street from Howard avenue to Laurel ‘street, west side; that Meridian street be paved (sidewalk) on the north side between Brown and Center streets; that sidewalk on Oak street, north side, be paved east from Brown street; that ‘gutter on west side of 16th street be continued from point north of and near to Howard avenue north to ravine leading to Piney branch, and that flagging be laid at street crossings of sidewalks on the principal streets of Mt. Pleasant Mr. “Nick” Young, from the committee on lights, offered the following recommen- dations: That two lamps be placed on Park reet between Ith and 17th streets; north side; that one lamp be placed on i6th street, rerth of Howard aven that two lamps be placed on 17th street, north of Howard avenue; that two or more lamps be placed on Center street, north of Howard avenue; that two or more lamps be placed on Me- ridian street, Breed’s terrace, eastward; that lamps be erected, extending into Ingle- side, continuing Park street, westward, five at least, that may be ample for the pres- ent in Ingleside. Also four lamps on 15th street between Columbia road and Grant street. President Somerville explained that near- ly all of the lights recommended by the committee had been ordered by the Com- missioners. He also stated that Commi: stoner Powell was in favor of widening Park street by circling around the drug store corner from the cable house and of widening Sheridan avenue by circling. The Engineer Commissiorer had also expressed himself as favoring the extension of How- ard avenue through to Holmead Manor, but did not appear to fall in with the idea of extending Ith street. He stated that the Howard avenue sewer was in the estimates for 18%, but he believed that if the associa- tion persisted in their efforts the sewer would be secured before that time. The a: sociation had, however, induced the Com- missioners to include in the estimates for 184, an eight room school house and a chemical engine, house and company. On the motion of Mr. Campbell a resolu- tion was unanimously adopted approving the efforts of the District Commissioners to secure an appropriation of $100,000 with which to begin the erection of a municipal building President Somerville stated that the Mt. Pleasant Lodge of Odd Fellows desired the support of the association in the erection of a town hall in the village, but the asso- elation decided that It was matter with Which it could not, as a body, connect it- self. After the election of Wm. R. Green and Wm. Zellers as members of the association and the adoption of Mr. Campbell's motion approving the plan of Commissioner Powell to extend Howard avenue through to Hol- mead Manor, the association adjourned. =a THE RIFLE MATCHEs.
