Ward and an account of biological re- searches in Wyoming by Dr. C. Hart Mer- riam and Mr. Vernon Bailey. Prof. Ward chose for his subject “Weismann's Conces- sions,” and gave a profound dissertation upon the question of the non-transmissi- bility of acquired character. His paper in- dicated a thorough acquaintance with the Weismann theory, and was listencd to at- tentively by the members of the society... Dr. Merriam and Mr. Bailey described a trip through the Big Horn mountains, where they studied the habits of various animals found at different altitudes. Mr. Talley captured several specimens of chipmunks which he exhibited to the audience. — —— Telephoning in Mr. Pruden’s Name. Some excitement was created at the Sen- ate last Tuesday by a telephone message purporting to come from Mr. Pruden, the assistant secretary to the President, and to be addressed to Senator Peffer, stating that the President did not want the nomination of Mr. Glick acted upon then, and request- ing Senator Peffer to have it passed over. ‘The message was sent over the telephone located in the business office of ‘The Even- ing Star. Inquiry soon showed that Mr. Pruden had not sent it, and that it was sent by a man who entered The Star office dur- ing a busy time of the day, and going Jo the telephone, which is in a public place, Fang up the sergeant-at-arms’ office and sent the message in question. It is claimed fhat the man who sent the message was @ Kansas man named Thurston, who was desirous of defeating the Glick nomination. His plans, however, failed. Legion of Loyal Women.

Glarence Beach Outs David Adams in a Trivial Quarrel. A Colored Man Runs Amuck and Slashes Two Men — Adams Gives Himself Up. The police of the first precinct were called upon Saturday night to investigate two cutting affrays, in each of which a knife was used and painful injuries inflicted. The first affair happened about 9 o'clock, near the corner of 10th and G streets northwest, between two young men, Clarence Beach and David Adams. During the unpleasant episode between the young men, who had always been the best of friends, Adams re- ceived five cuts, two in the side, two in the back and two in the arm. Clarence Beach is president of the Invincible Social Club and is employed as clerk in the liquor store of Mrs. Seligson. Adams, who ts not quite twenty years old, is a carpenter by trade. They live in adjoining houses on 14th street southwest, and Saturday evening they went together to the Knights of Pythias fair in the National Rifles’ Armory. In the hall the young men strolled about with their lady friends. They met in the hall and en- gaged in a pleasant conversation, but a few minutes later Beach returned to where Adams was standing and made known his intention of whipping him. He thought that Adams had said something in the na- ture of an insult to the young lady with whom he (Beach) had been walking. Adams denied the accusation and declared that Beach had too vivid an imagination. But Beach wanted to fight it out and the two men went to the corner above the ar- mory, where the attempted hter took place. Adams was in for a faiz fight, but his companion and next door neighbor was not. Owing to the nature of the weapon used and the woundg inflicted the fight lasted but a short while. Beach went his way to keep out of the hands of the police, while Adams started in the direction of the Emergency Hospital. Before reaching there, however, he e so weak from loss of blood that he fell to the sidewalk in front of Wilson & Carr's shoe store. Later he reached the hospital, where Dr. Pyle, the resident physician, dressed the wounds. Al- though painfully injured the wounds are not likely to prove fatal. Yesterday Beach surrendered to the police and was released on bail for his appearance in court. Ran Amuck. The second cutting affray happened about midnight, near the corner of 12th and E streets, where Wallace Kimmel and J. J. Barry, florists, were cut with a knife in the hands of a negro, who gave his name as William Jones. Just how the affair hap- pened the police are not certain, as con- flicting stories have been told about it. The negro, it is said, engaged in a quarrel with an Italian who was in charge of a push cart, when the two florists came along and took the Italian's part. Some one made use of the word murder in con- rection with the negro and then the men walked along the street as far as 12th and E streets, where the fight took place. Jones used his knife on Kimmel, inflicting a wound in the leg just below the knee. The knife blade went to the bone, severing arte- ries to such an extent that Kimmel may lose the use of his leg. After being cut Kimmel fell to the pavement and Barry, in his endeavor to protect his companion, was cut across the arm, the wound being similar to the one received by Kimmel. A few minutes later the wounded men were in the Emergency Hospital and Jones was locked up. ————__ BURLESQUING THE SENATE. The Capital Bicycle Enters the Arena of Debate. The Capital Bicycle Club started its an- nual entertainment season on Saturday night with an amusing stage burlesque de- bate on the financial situation. The cozy parlor of the culb was filled at 8:30, when the participants in the forensic struggle, clad in the weirdest of garbs, filed up to the forum and seated themselves for the wordy fray. Pretty nearly every phase of human race was represented, and every side of the case was discussed in more or less good English. At the conclusion of the debate, which was hugely enjoyed by the members of the club and their guests, re- freshments were served. The program of entertainments for this season is unusually attractive, including nineteen occasions that are suited to all tastes. There will be four germans, on December 1, January 5, February 2, and March 2. Besides, there will be other events for the ladies on No- vember 10, December 15, January 19, Febru- ary 16, March 16 and March 23. For the men! there will be a pool tournament October 28, a smoker Nov. 18, a billiard tournament November 2%, a pool tournament January 2%, a “goobers and cider episode” February 22, a billiard tournament March 10 and on the 3ist of March the season will be closed with a smoker. The annual banquet of the club will occur as usual on the birthday of this popular organization, January 31. Mr. E. Karts Johnson Home Again, Mr. E. Kurtz Johnson, the president of the Citizens’ National Bank, has returned to the city after a prolonged absence, which has been spent mainly in Colorado and Cali- fornia. The object of the trip was to se- cure rest, and during the absence of some eight moiths Mr. Johnson has cut himself loose from the many and numerous inter- ests which have absorbed so much of his time and energy and has enjoyed the first real holiday that he has allowed himself for years. The result is that he feels better. He is not in as robust health as he expects to be and does not intend to retard his progress by too close an application to busi- ness. His many friends were delighted to hear of his return and when he has en- countered them on the streets he has been given a sort of informal reception. Mr. Johnson found that his business interests had been well looked after while he was away and he is gratified by the warmth and the heartiness of the reception which he has received since his return. —_—— A Book Reception. Friday night the Y. P. S. C. E. of Memorial United Brethren Church gave a book re- ception for the benefit of the Sunday school library. Ap attractive program was pre- sented, including musical selections by the choir and congregation and solos by Miss Lawrenson, recitation by Miss Spies and an address on “Life and Its Possibilities,” by the pastor, Rev. J. E. Fant. The at- tendance was large and over a hundred books were received. This church is grow- ing rapidly. Although only a mission, yet its increase has been almost marvelous, having grown from a membership of twelve to one of sixty in the past four months. The pastor feels very much en- couraged. —— Women Students. Replying to a communication from Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, the board of regents of the National Law University of this city state that they will receive female students and give them the same instruetion as that given male students, only providing that there shall be separate classes. ee Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to the following: Chas. B. Cassady and Beta A. Kaessmann, both of Baltimore, Md.; James Queen and Maria Pendleton of Fredericksburg, Va.; F. B. Carter and Eliza A. Bland, both of Cul- peper, Va.; W. H. Henson and Hattie La- vinia Coombs; Albert Johnson and Rachel Wright; London Maxwell and Alice M. Perry; E. J. Ca’vert and Mamie A. Adams; Osear Davis and Sarah Ray; Lewis Fisher and Berta Courtney. > — Held for the Grand Jury. Lawrence Burke, the South Washington saloonkeeper who was arrested a week ago on a charge of shooting William Norton, colored, in Casey's alley, as published in The Star at the time, was tried in the Po- lice Court yesterday on a charge of as- sault with intent to Kill. .The bullet en- tered the colored n’s_hip. “The doctors plugged for it,” said Will- jam, “but they didn’t get it.” The affair happened after Burke had had a difficulty with the colored man's wife when she made a purchase {n the saloon. Burke was charged with having assaulted the wife during that affair. Burke was held in $500 bonds for the ac- tion of the grand jury in the shooting case and the charge of assault on Mrs. Norton was dismissed. | use of fifty shingles. |preme Court has placed Mr. Andrew Y. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Dr. Hammett’s Recommendations. Health Officer Hammett has certified to the Commissioners that a sewer in the: neighborhood of N street between 36th and Sith streets is necessary for the public health, and should be constructed under tl compulsory permit system. He also certi- fies to the unsanitary condition of the alley: in square 126, and says it shotil paved in the interests of public health under the provisions of the compulsory permit sys- tem. Menacing Health. Health Officer Hammett notifies the Com- missioners today that the engineer depart- ment is filling up 15th street from A to B streets southeast to such an extent as to cause water to settle west of lith street, thereby menacing the health of the neigh- rs. In Other Cities. The Commissioners have sent letters to the mayors of all of the principal cities asking for information concerning the col- lection of ashes by the municipality. A let- ter received from the board of public works of Buffalo, N. Y., in regard to oné of the inquiries, states that the collection, of ashes is in charge of that bureau and it attends to the work of collection, such as hiring the necessary teams and men. The colléction in the business portion of the district is made -every night except Sunday, and in other portions of the city twice a week. Householders are required to place ashes in suitable receptacles and to keep garbage and decayed matter of any kind in separate vessels. Rubbish, leaves, &c., are removed the same as ashes. There are ordinances in effect prohibiting the placing of material at the curb line, and the collectors are obliged to go into the yards, remove the ma> terial and replace their receptacles. An appropriation of $120,000 was made for the collection of ashes and garbage. For the, better service the city has been divided into districts, and its residents and places of business have been furnished with cards showing the days of collection and diagram of district covered. John Maddox Retired. , After a service of twenty-eight years in the firedepartment John F. Maddox of Engine Company No. 2 was today placed upon the retired list at his own request. Foreman Maddox ts one of the best known men in the fire department and is a brave and courageous fireman. He entered the service as a volunteer in 1957 and served for seven years until the organtzation of the paid fire department, when he became a member of that organization. Chief Par- ris in his letter to the Commissioners today recommended that owing to the poor health, the result of long and faithful service and close attention to duty in the department, that he placed on the retired list to take effect November 1, 1893, at a compensation of 30 per month. Chief Parris was visibly affected when the Commissioners approved this order and said it was the greatest blow the department has yet suffered. A License Hearing. At a special meeting of the board of Cam- missioners Saturday, House bill 3740, to amend the bill regulating the sale ef in- toxicating liquors in the District of Colum: bia was called for public hearing., The representatives of a number of churches were present as well as of the several tem- perance organizations of the c'ty.

Barber. Mr. Barber was not arrested or held by the police on any charge. ‘The af- fair happened in Mr. Barber's office over a game of cards. Washington ran out with money and a ring, was pursued and ar- rested. Mr. Barber tells the story us fol- lows: “The facts are. I caught Mr. Wash- ington holding up a pair of cards tn a social poker game I was playing with’ a friend and into which Mr. Washineton entered. He is no friend of mine, but a stranger. He, however, was a friend of Mr. Donehoe’s, with whom I was playing. Washington ran out with my money and a valuable ring and I had him arrested.” THAT TIRED FEELING, So common at this season, is quickiy overcome and full health and strenzth are restored by HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA.

Turpin, the in- ventor of melinite, is naturally very Feti- cent on the subject of the new engines of destruction which he has planned. He has assured the correspondent that it was not his intention to give any information about the formidable weapon to the public, as his secret is reserved for the government. He did not, however, deny that some of what had already leaked out as to the n: ture and capabilities of the weapon was true. According to these statements, M. Turpin goes so far as to say that the fig- ures already given as to four discharges in a quarter of an hour, each belching 25,000 rojectiles, only represent a minimum. He lieves that his gun could, in fact, be brought to such a pitch of perfection as to enable those using it to sweep several army peng off a field of battle as by a gust of wind. M. Turpin remarks that people have al- ready referred to him as being insane, ow- ing to his incredible schemes. Judging from his appearance, says the correspondent, he is the last person whom one would suppose to be afflicted with a tendency to lunacy. He is a middle-sized, stoutish, florid-featur- ed man about forty, the picture of health, notwithstanding his recent prison experi- ences, and he speaks with all the sincerity and calmness of one not given to enthu- siasm or exaggeration. He is, therefore, the more easily able to impress those with whom he converses, even when he says that his gun will do a hundred times more dam- age than heavy siege ordnance; that fortifi- cations will be of no avail against it, and that iron-clads will be rendered absolutely useless through its effects. As to the principle on which the terrible weapon works, M. Turpin says it has an electric basis, and is of the utmost simpli ty. His secret. as he emphatically reiter- ates when spoken to about the matter, will only be divulged to his own government, and under certain conditions. These are that a committee of officers should be ap- pointed to try the experiments with him on a secluded headland on the Finistere coast, with a cordon of troops round in order to keep back the inquisitive. As. to taking out a patent, he means to do nothing of the sort, as his secret might thus be communicated to a German, Englishman, Italian, or, as the inventor expresses it, un Armstrong quel- conque. His melinite is now in use in every imtry from Germany to Japan, and he does not want his gun to become in the game way the property of nations. ——-.- ee —___ A fire took place about noon yesterday, some one having set fire to a shed in the rear of the church corner of Sherman ave- nue and Farragut street, in the county.
