Preparati: Being Made by Many Clerks to Leave the City. Secretary Lawrence Gardner of the Na- tional Association of Democratic Clubs has assumed charge of the association's head- quarters, room 14, Washington Loan and Trust building, with a large force of clerks, and wi!l keep the office open day and even- ing for the purpose of giving information to those desirous of returning home to vote at the coming state elections. Elections will be held in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Virginia and Maryland, which states are represented by a large number of voters in this city. It is estimated, from the appli- cations so far for tickets, that 600 or 700 residents of New York will go home to vote. Those voting in New York city have to make two trips, the first for the purpose of registering. There are nearly 1,500 Marylanders and possibly 2,000 Virginians sojourning in this city, but both of these states are represented by strong demo- cratic clubs here, so the national associa- tion is largety spared the trouble of look- ing after them. The number of other state voters here is not known. —__s_—— Neither Swore Nor Drank. “Charlie Finney,” called the clerk in Judge Kimball's court this morning, and a short, thick set colored man with extra thick lips responded. Using profane and indecent language was the charge against him. “I don’t use no p’lame language,” he said, “I "longs to church.” “But you were intoxicated last night?” “No, indeed, judge,” was his response. “We had fifteen cents’ worth of beer be- tween four and you know that wouldn't make me drunk.” “Takes more than that to make you @runk, does it?” “You know, judge, that that wouldn’t make anybody drunk.” “When were you drunk last?” “Christmas before last,” was his response. “The people where I lived in Manchester, Va., told me that if I drank a half gallon of wine I wouldn't have to pay for it and I didn’t have no better sense than drink. It —- killed me and I ain’t been drunk aa “Are you sure you didn’t swear?” “Yes, sir,” replied Charlie, “and you can get_my reputation in Manchester.” “Five dollars.” —_—. Mr. Tucker Not a Dissenter. Mr. Evan H. Tucker, the vice president of the Northeast Washington Association, who was voted for as a candidate for the presidency of that association in opposi- tion to Mr. Frizzell, has written to The Star a statement to dispel the impression conveyed, as he believes, in the report of the proceedings of the meeting of Monday night that he is one of the dissenting fac- tion of the association. Mr. Tucker says that previous to the meeting several mem- bers of the association had urged him to be a candidate for the office of president, but he had positively declined, stating that he was in favor of the re-election of Mr. Frizzell, and further, that his private bus- imess was so pressing as to make it lin- possible for him to accept the office. Not- withstanding this refusal, Mr. Tucker says, his name was placed in nomination and despite his statement then made that he War not a candidate and favored the re- of Mr. Frizzell, the opposition to Mr. Frizzell insisted on a ballot. Bes pita EE I Small Fire. Last night about 8:30 o'clock, a fire took place in the stable of F. G. Purner, No. 639 Sheridan street northwest, totally de- stroying it, causing #400 damage.

Rowe, a laborer living at 10 C street northwest, fell dead in the Emer- gency Hospital engine room yesterday. He had been in the employ of J. F. Bar- bour, but recently he has been compelled to cease labor and submit himself to treat- ment at the hospital for epileptic fits. He was talking with the engineer, who had asked a question, and Rowe fell from the chair and died. Drs. Pyle and Johnson iCARDINAL GIBBONS. | He Will Arrive in the City This Afternoon. RECEPTIONS 0 BE GIVEN IN HIS HONOR At Both the Georgetown and Catholic Universities AND THE CARROLL INSTITUTE The Catholics of this city have arranged for a series of events which are designed in honor of Cardinal Gibbons, especially in commemoration of the twenty-fifth anni- versary of his appointment to the episco- pacy. The cardinal is expected to reach the city this afternoon and will go directly from the depot to the Georgetown Univer- sity, where he will have tea at 6 o'clock. At 7:30 o'clock the faculty and students of the college will give the reception, which will be preceded by a literary and musical entertainment in Gaston Hall. The pro- gram, as arranged for the entertainment at the college, comprises addresses by Mr. ‘Thomas McDonald of the school of medi- cine, Mr. P. H. O'Donnell of the school of law, Thomas T. Devine, A.B., of the grad- uate school and also addresses by students im prose and verse, in Latin, Greek, French and Spanish. Music will be furnished by the college banjo club and by soloists, both vocal and on the piano and flute. The cardinal will respond and all the addresses made by the students and others will be presented to his eminence hand- somely printed in a volume bound in red morocco and illustrated by hand. On the front page of this proposed volume will be the cardinal’s arms and on the last page the seal of the college, with blue and gray flags festooned about it. This illumination is exquisitely done and is the work of Miss 3S. S. Hein of Georgetown. The faculty of the college will be pre- sented to the cardinal after the entertain- ment, the presentation to take place in the Coleman Museum. The attendance will be limited to members of the university and will not .conflict with the public demon- stration at Carroll Institute tomorrow evening. #6 At the Catholic University. The cardinal will remain at the college as guest until tomorrow morning, when he will go to the Catholic University. An elaborate reception will be given at ll o'clock, to be followed by a banquet in the dining hall. Bishop Keane will deliver the address of welcome on behalf of the uni- versity, the Rev. Thomas Bouquillon, act- ing dean of the faculty, will speak for his colleagues, the Rev. Father Hogan will make an address on the part of the Divin- ity College, and Father Kerby of Dubuque will represent the students. The cardinal is expected to make an appropriate re- sponse. At Carroll Institute. The principal event in this series of ova- tions to the cardinal will be the reception which will be tendered to the cardinal by Carroll Institute in the main hall of the in- stitute building on 10th street. Elaborate preparations have been made in order that the reception will be worthy of the guest of honor and of the institute. A large number of invitations have been issued and arrangements have been made for haniling the throngs that will press on to this oc- casion to do honor to the cardinal. The hall will be handsomely adorned with follage j T¢CeP' plants and flowers, the American and papal flags together with the coats of arms of Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia. In addition to the orcpestra there will be singing by a choir composed of the mem- bers of several of the Catholic choirs of the city under the direction of L. E. Gan- non. The president of the institute, Mr. Ed- ward J. Hannan, will make an address. He will be followed by Commissioner John W. Ross, and a third address probably will be made by a Senator. The cardinal after Mr. Hannan has in- troduced invited guests, Vice President Sohon will present the public generally. vitations have been sent to the President, the members of the cabinet and members of Congress. There will be no further ceremonies and the cardinal will probably return to the university for the night and go to Balti- more Friday morning. The committee having the arrangements in charge consists of E. J. Harman,chair- man; J. Edmund Mallet, B. J. Coyie, J. H. Forsythe, E. Francis Riggs, J. S. Laskin, M. I. Weller, Lawrence Gardner, W.

He bit out a piece of his tongue, and the side of his and face were skinned in the fall. —=—— November Weather. ‘The weather bureau has just published interesting statistics of the weather for November during the last twenty-three years. The mean or normal temperature was 44 degrees. The warmest November was in 1890, with an average of 48 degrees, and the coldest was that of 1890, with an average of 40 degrees. The highest tem- perature of any November was 80 degrees, in 1879, and the lowest temperature was 12 degrees, in 1880. The average date of the first killing frost was October 22. For No- vember the average number of cloudless days was nine, partly cloudy days twelve and cloudy days nine. —_—— Bridge the Can: To the Editor of The Eveving Sta: South Washington is divided by the James Creek canal, over which there is no bridge below N street. More than forty squares on the east side of the canal are cut off from direct communication with the Potomac river and with the southern termini of the 4 1-2 and 7th street car tracks. All the heavy freight, lumber, building materials hauled from the river to the east side are taken by a circuitous route. So with the garbage from the west side, the service be- ing more difficult and expensive. Pedes- trians wishing to get from one side of the canal to the other find themselves in a pocket. Each part is injured in its devel- opment by being barred off from the other. The remedy for this state of things is to bridge the James Creek canal at P street first and at O street afterward. A bridge at P street and the grading and macadam- izing that street from 4 1-2 to South Capitol streets will cost but a few hundred dollars and will add a half million dollars to the vaiue of property in South Washington. decided that the severity of an attack had ruptured a blood vessel in his head, caus- ing death. ——_— Fate Doering ell round-trip good in day coaches of tickets to Chicago all trains, including the “Vestibuled Limit- 4,” until October 31, valid for return jour- ney ten days, including day of issue, at rate of $17.

Last Week It Was Still Below the Normal. “There was a slight increase in the num- ber of deaths last week over that of the previous week,” says the weekly report of Health Officer Hammett. “Yet the death rate was below the normal, standing at 19.3 as against the annual erage of 22.6. The increase is to be attributed to the mor- tality from acute lung diseases, there hav- ing been the unusual number for this time of year of seven deaths from pneumonia and three from bronchitis. Infant mortal- ity has declined to the average for the year, while there were but five deaths from diarrhoeal complaints. There were twelve new cases of diphtheria reported with six deaths therefrom, and two new cases of scarlet fever with no death. There are but = cases of malarial troubles, and typhoid fever claimed but four victims during the week. The great mass of the deaths were those incident to humanity, constitutional and hereditary, and those of chronic char- acter. The general health of the city, in the absence of malarial and contaglo diseases, may be said to be very favorable. The report shows: Number of deaths, 106; white, 61; colored, 45." Death rate per 1,000 per annum: White, 16.: cotored, 25.5; total population, 19.3. Thirty-eight were under five years of age; 19 were under one year old, and 21 over six- ty years. Twenty of the deaths occurred in hospitals and public institutions. The deaths by classes were as follow: 20; constitutional, 22; local, 654 developmental, 8; violence, 2. -The principal causes of death were: Diphtheria, 6; consumption, 15; diarrhoeal, 5; typhoid fever, 4; malarial fever, 1; pneu- monia, 7; bronchitis, 3; kidney diseases, 3; meningitis, 1; cancers, 1.

Sport McAllister.—The attraction at Al- baugh’s for the next week will be the well- known Irish comedian, Robert Gaylor, pre- senting his farcical skit of “Sport McAl- lister, One of the Four Hundred,” sald to be laughable in the extreme. It is a satire on | New York’s polite society and is. full of | comical situations and catchy music; ahd besides it contains a well-defined plot, | which is something out of the usual order in farce comedies. Manager Brady has; surrcunded his star with an excellent com- pany of singers, comedians and dancers, including the well-known musical artists, Dogmar and DeCelle, and the popular soubrette, Patrice. All the latest songs are promised. The Greenwood Comic Opera Company.— Next Monday the Greenwood Comic Opera Company will begin a week's engagement at Harris’ Bijou Theater, presenting a repertoire of popular operas, comprising “Bocaccio,” ‘Fra Diavolo,” “Denisette” and “Chimes of Normandy.” The organiza- tion is an exceptionally strong one, consist- ing of Marie Greenwood, prima donna; Fannie Myers, mezzo soprano; Helen St. | Clair, contralto, Cora Carlisle, soubrette; | Tom Martin, comedian; W. P. Guiberson, tenor; Sylvain Langlois, baritone; Robert | Lett, comedian, and a chorus of twenty. | The company also carries an orchestra, which will be augmented by that regu- | larly engaged at the house. | When she reached the corner she saw the | Moody. | judge said it was the determination of the Sousa and His Band.--John Philip Sousa’s | Band will give a concert at Albaugh’s Sun- | day evening, October 29.

The city treasurer has a salary of $200 per annum from the city and $150 from the city school board, and he is required to give bonds in the penalty of $150,000. Mr. Har- low filled the office for many years at this rate, and Mr. Lunt became his successor at the same salary, but has been taken sick and has tendered his resignation. Last night Judge Norton wrote to the city coun- cii that he could not procure a competent treasurer at less than $700 per annum, and he suggested the city council should appro- priate that amount, as he would at once accept the resignation of Mr. Lunt. It is understood that the banks are doing the financial business of the city very accept- ably, and the council took no action on Judge Norton's communication. Joint Convention and Election. The two boards of the city council assem- bled in joint meeting, last night, to elect a successor to Mrs. M. A. Cornwell, the ma- tron of the alms house (siste> of Lieut. Ver- non of the Washington police), who has for many years discharged most efficiently the office of superintendent of the institution. On her resignation it was determined to elect a superintendent and W. M. Smith, Jas. McCuen, E. J. Butler, James Sinclair, D. F. Skillman, J. T. Hadyen, Alfonso Lucas and W. H. Travers were placed in nomination. On the sixth ballot the vote stood: W. M. Smith, 13; James McCuen, 9. So Mr. Smith was chosen superintendent of the poor house. For dispencer of medi- cines there were only two carfdidates, and the vote stood C. W. J. Summers, 13; Edgar J. Warfield, 9. So Mr. Summers was de- clared elected. He has been discharging the duties of this positior Dr. Entwi Dispensary. City Council Meeting. The city councii held a meeting last night, the president presiding, and passed an act providing that when plumbers or others open streets to lay down pipes, &c., they should deposit a fee of $2 to $10, according to the street, which fee, less the cost of making the repair of the street, should be returned to them at the end of ninety days. The proposals to increase the salaries of the superintendent of schools, of the super- intendent of the out-door poor and of the; city treasurer were laid over. The increase of the salaries of the city policemen was not called up. A proposal to appropriate $250 to extend streets over the marsh in the northeastern section of the town was discussed at some length and laid over. The bill to create the office of the city engi- neer and define his duties, &c., was reported from the committee and laid over. Several repairs of pumps, reductions of taxes, &c., were ordered. The bill to authorize the Mt. Vernon Electric Railroad Company to erect polls, &c., to furnish motive power in this city wi adopted. The board sat much later than usual. Notes.

A young lawyer from Petersburg, Va., who has been practicing before the Police Court here for several weeks, was called to the bar of justice in Judge Kimball's court this morning to answer to a charge | of “capping” in order to secure clients. The aileged client was a cabman named James Moédy, who was arrested on complaint of a woman in the “Division” for being dis- orderly. It was early in the morning when the alleged “capping” took place, and Of- ficer Madigan, who has charge of the pris- cners, refused to allow the young lawyer the privilege of seeing Moody. During the morning hours Mr. Pugh, the District prosecutor, called the affair to the attention of Judge Kimball, and witnesses were call- ed in support of the charges. Mr. Pugh merely said that the lawyer was accused of being implicated in an occurrence which he thought was unprofessional. Maggie Elmore was the first witness ex* amined, and she said that she came to court this morning with another woman. lawyer, who was a perfect stranger to her, and he followed her and her friend in the coffee house adjoining the court. Being a stranger she declined to have anything to say to him. From there, she said, he follow- ed them into the court room and spoke to them. He wanted to know of her whom she had had arrested, and she told him Jim Moody. He had a piece of paper and pencil in his hand, and she saw him write a name on the paper. ‘The lawyer, she said, jokingly remarked to her: “I guess he’s got money.” During the conversation, she said, the lawyer spoke to her about Rosie Moore, who was in court yesterday, and whom he had defended. Clerk Potts went on the stand, and told | the court that the lawyer came to him with | a paper, on which was written Moody's | name, and upon his representation that the prisoner was his client he gave the neces- sary permission for him to see the pris- oner. Officer Madigan gave evidence of having received the paper from Lawyer Cullivier, but as he had witnessed the conversation between the women and the lawyer he re- fused to allow him the privilege of seeing ‘The accused lawyer in his own defense | said that a man whom he had known as | bartender in Pat Rooney's saloon spoke to him about Moody. He met him on the steps leading to his office this morning. He did not pay him a retainer, but he knew he was good for the fee, because he was a bartender. The lawyer claimed that he was the victim of prejudice, and said he had only been here three weeks and was ignorant of the rules. Lawyer Moss, who represented his brother lawyer, argued the case for him, and sald he was doing business here as the business is conducted in Richmond and Petersburg. “T don’t believe that business is conduct- ed in that manner in those cities,” remark- ed the court. In commenting on the case the court told the young lawyer that he was guilty of reprehensible conduct. The court thought that the story of meeting the bartender gn | the steps was rather shadowy, as his| name or residence could not be given. The | court to have the standing of the bar of the Police Court as high as that of any court in the District. “Capping,” the judge said, must stop, and persons caught will be punished. In conclusion the judge sald that this time he would let the matter pasa, saying if he were an older member of the bar he would be fined. piedien THEY WERE VAGRANTS. A Number Brought nd Sentenced in Court Today. The vagrancy law provides for the arrest and punishment of persons of evil life and fame, persons found drunk about the} streets and persons found under suspicious circumstances, as well as those who are Mkely to become chargeable to the District as paupers. Such were the charges against a number of persons who were in Judge Kimball's procession this morning. Three of the prisoners, small boys from Baltimore, were first called. The charge | against them was vagrancy, but no special provision of the law was alleged to have been violated. Two of the prisoners, Peter Hufnagel and John Cunningham, are white and Andrew Smith is colored. The three boys were found about La- mond’s station yesterday by Officer Kopp. ‘They were hungry and told the officer that they had left their homes Sunday night. “Where do you belong?” was the ques- tion asked by Judge Kimball of one of them. “Baltimore.” “What is your father’s name?” ‘Alexander Cunningham.” ‘Where does he live?” “No. 1011 North Front street.” “Will he send for you if he knows where you are?” “I think he will.” Peter, Hufnagel said that his mother, Christina Hufnagel, lived at 1723 Point Lane, but he could not say that she would send for him. Julia Robertson was the name given of the colored boy's aunt, with whom he lives, and her residence was given as 37 East street.” “Will she send for you?’ “She will if she knows where I'm at.” Judge Kimball sent for’ Agent Sweeney of the Newsboys’ Home to have him care for = boys until their parents are heard rom. Other Cases. Martha Mergent was in line as a person of evil life and fame as well as a victim of liquor. “We raided a house in South Washing- ton last night,” said an officer, “and she was found in it.’ “When were you here last?” the court asked. “J got fifteen days not long ago for dis- orderly.” “When were you here for vagrancy?” ain’t been here for a long time for a ‘ou can go down for sixty days this time.’ Joseph Goldsmith, a colored man, was next in line and he sald gullty. “This man came to the station last night and asked to be sent down,” said the offi- cer. “He sald he was out of work and was hungry.” “Sixty day A colored woman named Henrietta frown, who was found sleeping in a va- cant house, was given a home for ten days. James Flynn, a consumptive looking man, with red beard, was given a hearing. “He has been sleeping in stables.” said the officer. “He is a sick man and T thin has the consumption. He's nearly dead.” ‘A small colored boy. who answered the name Samuel Armstrong, was in line with the old and hardened prisoners. Policemen Russell complained against him. He snatch- ed a hat from another boy yesterday and threw it in the park when pursued by the officer. “Don't do so again,’ was the advice given the boy and he was released on his per- sonal bonds. Branch Wright, a victim of strong drin*. who was found’ yesterday trying to sell his cont, was civen a hearing. Judge Kimboll asked him if the death of his father had not had any effect on him end he said he had been trying to do het- ter. “ZT had been to the mission last ni¢ht.” he said. “and it was late when I started home. It was too far to go to Benning and Tf tried to sell my vest to pay for a night’s lodgings.” Wright said he would take the pledee for a year. Tf found drunk again, he satd, he would willingly take a six months’ sen- tence. Upon these conditions the judge let him go and told him the first time an officer found him drunk he would have to go down for six months. — After n Divorce.
