The facts are these: As will be rem=mber- ed, the question of renumbering the streets had been up before the city council for a number of nights, and all kinds of proposi- tions System. offered. On the night of the final action on the question Mr. R. J. Beall called at my house with his wife, she to remain there until he re- turned. In conversation the question of Bumbering the streets came up; he asked my opinion of the matter. Hav- ing lived in Philadelphia and being familiar with the numbering adopted there, I sug- gested that plan. He asked me to draw him a@ diagram illustrating the system. I did so, and after a favorable discussion. of the subject, he took the diagram with him to the council, drew up a bill embodying the principle, brought it before the council, and it was at once adopted. He then went over to the board of aldermen, and I think W. W. Moore took charge of it. It was passed upon in that body that same evening. When Mr. Beall returned he so reported. In a very few days proposals were ask<d for for the new numbering samples, to be sub- mitted. Mr. Strong, I think, got the con- tract to furnish the numbers, one kind to cost five cents apiece, the other ten cents. I know it took but a very few weeks to change the whole system. If I thought I could as easily settie the question of inter- mediate streets, I would submit a plan. E. D. CLAPP. ———_— The Meeting Not Held. The regular monthly meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association appyvinted for last evening was not held, for at the duly arranged time and place but one member of the association appeared, Mr. “Nick” Young, the genial president of the base ball league, who, finding the meeting place not unlike a banquet hall deserted, lights cut and doors closed, dropped a tear and sadly wended his way homeward. Uniess a special meeting should be calle} before, there will be no meeting until the first Wed- nesday of next month. — Ss When You Need Glasses Go to Mertz’s Modern Pharmacy, ‘0th and F streets.

Objectia: to Procuring Santtary Carts for Garbage—The Law on the Subject—Open Carts, Persons residing in the county and in Maryland and Virginia near the District line and who have been hauling swill to their hogs are much exercised over the re- cent regulation conceming the manner in which they were to haul the garbage. The regulation, a8 printed in The Star at the time of its adoption, reads: “That it shall not be Jawful for any per- son or persons to remove or transport gar- bage through any street, avenue or alley in the cities of Washington and George- town, or thefr suburbs, except in water- ught carts or wagons with tight-fitting covers, thoroughly sanitary; and any per- Son or persons removing or transporting garbage in and along any of said streets, avenues or alleys, not in water-tight wag- ons or carts with tight covers, thoroughly Sanitary, shall on conviction be punished by a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $10 for each and every such offense, to be collected as other tines and penalties are now collected.” The publication of this regulation caused a feeling of uneasiness among the hog raisers, and especially among the poorer classes, who imagined that they would have to provide steel carts similar to those in use by the sanitary company. All sorts of conveyances were constructed and for the last two weeks a dozen or more of them have stopped at the health office for Inspection. The hotel men were the Principal objectors to the new regulation. They were willing to transport or have their garbage transported in a sanitary manner, but they objected to being required to pur- chase expensive vehicles. But the health office would not pass any sort of vehicle other than such as the law required. Yes- terday a vigorous objection was made to the Commissioners. An application was made by a man who said he lived on Commis- stoner Ross’ farm, but he fared, the same as did other applicants. Late yesterday afternoon the Commission- ers amended the regulation so as to read: “And other sanitary conveyances.” - Against the Hog. This morning Health Officer Hammett told a Star reporter; that it was his inten- tion to get rid of all the hogs in the District and prevent their being raised anywhere in- side the District liraits. ‘The doctor referred to section seventeen of the regulations, which provides: “That the keeping, herding and feeding of hogs, in pens or otherwise, within the cities of Washington or Georgetown, or the more densely populated suburbs of sairi cities, is hereby declared a nuisance injurious to health;and any person creating or maintatn- ing such nufsance, who shall fail, after due notice from this board, to abate the same, shall, upon cor.viction, be fined not less than $% nor more than $25 for every ysuch of- fense.” “Two years ago,” said the doctor, “the fight against hogs was commenced by this office, and I’ am surprised to find that there are still so many of them in the District.” Dr. Hammett said that the owners of hogs wowd have to get rid of them by the Ist of December. He would not have any of the owners proceeded against before that time, he said, because he wanted to work no hardship on any one, and that will be after the usual time for hog killing. ——_ _— THE ORIENT CLUB, Gave Its First Smoker of the Season. Last Night. The Orient Athletic Club of Capitol Hill gave its first “smoker” of the seagon last night. McCauley’s Hall was crowded with friends of the club, who enjoyed the twelve numbers of the program, under the direc- tion of Master of Ceremonies Franklin Moore. The committee in charge of the enter- tainment was composed of C. P. Schell, ; Horace B. Durant, Franklin Moore and Archie Wiley. The first number was a trio of guitars and mandolin by Messrs. Dufour, Benner and Caverty, followed by a wrestling bout between E. Schafhirt and Harry Lee, Each won a fall. Roger Barker gave a character recitation. Ed. Grove and Harry Boteler, Y. M. C. A., gave an exhibition with foils, Boteler winning six points to five for Grove. Will Maupin and Earl Ambrose, Orient A. C., had a friendly set-to with the gloves and after three rounds Heferee Joe Bate- man, C. A. C., declared it a draw. Pink Phipps, the chanspion amateur wing dancer of the District, was heartily ap- plauded for his work. "The Hatfield broth- ers of the C. A. C. gave a clever exhibi- tion in boxing, which was followed by a bass solo by Arthur Middleton. A very spirited three-round boxing contest be- tween Hecox, C. A. C.,) and House, unat- tached, followed. The iferee decided it a draw. Mr. A. L. Denison sang a solo, and the “smoker” closed with several selec- tions by the Columbia Musical Association of Capitol Hill. } a PRELIMINARY | EDUCATION, Opening of the Grimes Academy Here Last Night. The Grimes Academy, under the aus- pices of the colored Baptists of the city, whose object is the preliminary education of young colored men for the ministry, be- gan its annual session here yesterday. There was a large attendance of students and visiting pastors and trustees. Rev. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, president of the academy, delivered a practical address to students, and addresses were made by the Rev. Mr. Creditt, principal of the theologi-} cal department, and Prof. L V. Bryant of the normal department. ‘The school, which begins the year under the most favorable circumstances, is at present located in the First Baptist Church and has for a faculty the pastors of the colored Baptist churches of the city. The trustees met during the afternoon and appropriated funds for teachers’ sal- aries and also took the initiative steps to- ward securing property in South Wash- irgton for a permanent home for the school. — FLORAL GIFTS Presented to Judge and Attorneys by Retiring Jurors. The petit jurors of the second division of the Criminal Court, Justice McComas, elesed their monthly term this morning and were discharged with the thanks of the court and were complimented especially on their promptness and intelligence. Mr. E. B. Hay then arose and in one of | his characteristic addresses spoke of the { kindly sentiments of the jury for the jus- | tice, and presented on their behalf a hand- some floral o>nament—the scnles of justice. The justice in accepting the gift spoke of the pleasant relations which had existed through the month. Mr. Hay then presented the assistant dis- trict attorney, Mr. Jeffords, with a basket) of roses and Mr. L. Carroll Downs, the cle-k, with a similar gift on behalf of the jurors. Mr. Jeffords made a neat reply and then Mr. Hay announced, with the court's per- mission, that they were discharged. > — Before Judge McComas. i In the Criminal Court, division 1, today, | before Justice McComas, but one case was | on the calendar,that of George F.

A dividend in the shape of a rebate of 2® per cent on the last year’s premium has again been declared by the trustees of the Mutual Protection Fire Insurance Com- pany of the District on policies in that company.

Franklin Donati to the Associa- tion by Members Last Night. The first of a series of recollection mest- ings was held by the Oldest Inhabitants’ Association last night in their rooms in the Corcoran building. Mr. Larner told of the early days in Washington when the ground where the patent office and the Masonic Temple now are was a marsh and a deep ravine that had to be crossed on bridges. There were a number of deep springs in that part of the city then, and one that stood on the spot where the Masonic Tem- ple now is gave a plentiful supply of cold, clear water that up to a year ago furnish- ed the supply for the boilers in that build- ing. But not long ago the supply began to diminish, and lately the old spring has gone entirely dry. The Washington Loan and Trust building, however, is still sup- plied with water for its engines and boil- ers from a similar spring that was on the south side of the read, and which as yet shows no signs of giving out. There were also recollections of the old whig party, of the coon skin and hard cider campaign, and the time when the ragamuffin parade in ridicule of the local militia drove that body out of existence for a long term of years. Several Franklin donations were an- nouncéd, among them being a fine steel plate engraving of Benjamin Franklin by Mr. J. A. Wineberger. This admirable en- graving, by Hall, is from the original pic- ~ in pastel, from life, by Duplessis, in i Another donation was from Mr. Robert A. Waters, also a member, of a printer's mallet, which was owned and used by Dr. Benjamin Franklin, The head of the mal- let is three inches in length, 11-3 inches in diameter, made of hickory; and the handle 61-2 inches long, made of maple. It weighs exactly five ounces, and has the appear- ance of being considerably used. Mr. Waters accompanies the mallet with the following history: “Being a cripple, not able to attend your meetings, through the kindness of our worthy mar- shal, J. A. Wineberger, I proffer you this littie mallet as a memento of that great patriot and statesman, Dr. Benjatnin Franklin. It has been in my possession about sixty-five years, and the circumn- stances under which I received it are in- teresting. During the administration of President John Q. Adams I was an ap- prentice to the late Col. Peter Force, editor and publisher of the National Journal, a whig paper, supporting his administration, and Mr. John Agg was the associate itor, he having an office room in the print- ing office building. Myself and fellow ap- prentice, whose name was John Wright, we being the two youngest apprentices, were commonly called the devils of the of- fice, and were detalled to clean his room. In removing the rubbish, old torn paper, etc., I picked up this little mallet, and, handing it to Mr. Agg, he remarked: ‘Keep it, my boy, that little mallet once be- longed to Dr. Benjamin Franklin.’ ” Mr. John Agg owned and lived on the farm adjoining the Soldiers’ Home, to the north, as early as 1825, where he died. The farm is now owned by the Robinson family. —_— THE CITY’S HEALTH. ‘The Death Rate Still Stays Below Last Year's Figures. ‘There was a decline in the death rate last week as compared with that previous. The total number of deaths was even 100. This is at a rate of 18.2 for the total population, which is 4.4 below the last annual rate. Very few of the deaths, comparatively, were from acute diseases. There were three deaths from pneumonia and the six fatal cases of bronchitis were those of young children, This latter fact would seem to indicate the presence still here of the epl- demic influenza in incipient form. There was a marked decrease of malarial troubles during the week, the mortality from ty- phoid fever being but two and from malarial fever two. Eleven new cases of diphtheria were reported, with three deaths therefrom, Scarlet fever would appear to have subsid- ed, there having been but one new case re- ported, and this of a very mild type. The health office report in detail shows: Number of deaths, 10; white, 60; colored, 0. Denth rte. per 000 per annum: White, 16.0; colo 1. Total population, 18.2; 27 were under five years of age, 17 were under one year old, and 21 over sixty years. Eighteen of the ths occurred in hos- pitals and public institutions. The deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotic, 18; constitutional, 25; local, 46; de- velopmental, 5; violence, 6. ‘ The principal causes of death were: Diphtheria, 3; consumption, 11; diarrhoeal, 6; typhoid fever, 2; malarial fever, 2; pneu- monia, 3; congestion of ‘the lungs, 1; bron- chitis, 6; measles, 1; kidney diseases, 4; meningitis, 2; cancers, 5. Births reported: White males, 31; white females, 28; colored males, 6; colored fe- males, 18. Marriages reported: White, 25; colored, 13. Still-births reported: White, 3; colored, 7. > ILK CASE. THE M Ford & Graham Declared Guilty, With Recommendatt for Mercy. Messrs. Ford & Graham, the dairy luneh dealers, were found guilty late yesterday afternoon in the Police Court of having, on the 28th of July last, sold a pint of milk not of the required standard, and the jury recommended them to the merey of the court. Counsel for the defendants at once gave notice of a motion for a new trial. In charging the jury Judge Miller said that the accusea would be liable if they had been negligent in keeping the milk in proper condition after it had been received by them, or if they had in any way changed its natural quality. If adulterated when it came into the defendants’ possession they should show a written guarantee from the party selling it to them and that they had no knowledge of its being adulterated. It was immaterial whether the adulterated milk was sold by them in person or by their employes. —— AMUSEMENTS, “As You Like It.""—Last night Miss Julia Marlowe was seen at the Academy of Mu- sic in Rosalind in Shakespeare's comedy of “As You Like It.” The same girlish grace and charm of manner that has been notic- ed before in Miss Marlowe's impersonation of this character was observable in her work last night, and she was enthusiastical- ly applauded by a large and fashionable audience, She was well supported, Mr. Jewett making an acceptable Jacques, al- though he fails to appreciate the subtleties of the part as does Mr. Hanford, who for- merly supported Miss Marlowe. Mr. Wm. Boag doubled up on two characters, and his friends were pleased at his display of versatility. Professor Hawks’ Lecture.—There was a good audience at the First Baptist Church last evening to listen to Professor Hawks of Baltimore, who lectured upon voices. There was that which was serious and that which was amusing in the lec- ture, and the professor's words were closely followed by his hearers. He was frequently interrupted by applause and lJaughter, and the whole entertainment, which was given under the auspices of ,the Young Ladies’ Bible Class of the church, taught by Mr. Percy S. Foster, was satis- factory. Fisk Jubilee Singers.—A second convert was given last night at Metzerott Hall by the Fisk Jubilee Singers. The audience was large and appreciative, and the efforts of the singers were loudly applauded. Their were plantation songs and feeling and expression.

Helping Destitute Children to Homes and Better Lives. ‘The work of the Newsboys and Children’s Ald Society has gone steadily along during the past summer and hundreds have been cared for and many provided with good Homes in the country or places in the city where they can support themselves. Now that the winter is coming on, and it is likely to be a hard one for the poor little ones, the society needs all the help it can get, for the more assistance it receives from its friends the more it can render to the poor and needy. The executive committee of -the society will soon present their report to the friends of the society and others whom they hope to number as friends in the future. They will call special attention to the work done in the past eighteen months. They also wish to correct a current impression, that having been the recipients of a generous legacy, they are no longer in need of gen- eral aid. They have not as yet been put In Possession of the legacy, and when they Shall be, as it has been given for a special purpose—that of providing a suitable and permanent home—not a penny will be avail- able for running expenses. On the con- trary, the society is called upon this au- tumn to take up a largely increased work with an almost empty treasury. The com- mittee are now in pressing need of funds to feed and care for the little ones who come to them for shelter. It is hoped that a simple statement of the facts will be all that is necessary in the way of appeal for assistance. The committee realize that in this time of commercial de- pression the liberality of the past will be difficult for the most generous. At the same time, they realize, as all must, that in a season of such pressure to the rich the sufferings of the poor must be greatly increased. They hope, if possible, by th appeal to avoid the usual forms of appeals by entertainments, &c. They trust that the work, with its results and its needs, will be its own plea to a generous public. Contributions in money may be sent to the treasurer, Mra. I. F. Macfarland, 1727 F street northwest. Gifts of food, clothing, &c., to Mr. P. B. Sweeney, at the home, 927 E street northwest. —_— BROOKLAND.

No effort is being made by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company to erect safety gates at the intersection of R, S and T streets with the Metropolitan branch of that road, and an accident is imminent at those bai from the incoming trains, which sfill sweep into the city at a high rate of speed. The safety gates at Brook- land are at last in proper position, and travelers at that point feel comparatively secure. eee ee hs A Small Fire.

An interesting lecture and musicale was held at Metzerott’s Music Hall Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the Eastern Presbyterian Church. The lecturer, Rev. Thomas Chalmers Easton, D. D., was in- troduced by Commissioner Ross in a neat lite speech. The subject of the lecture was the life and character of Robert Burns, which was an eloquent and masterly effort abounding with wit and pathos, and the speaker was frequently applauded. At the close the lecturer exhibited the walking stick of the Scottish bard. The musical pro- ram was carried out in a highly artistic miner by a corps of well-trained musi- clans. The house was crowded by a large and appreciative audience. A number of noted citizens were present. — Plymouth Congregational Church. fhe annual meeting of the Plymouth Congregational Church, 17th and _P streets northwest, was held night for the pur- pose of hearing the reports and for the election Of officers.

HOOD'S CURTS, on which Chief Justice Bingham directed a | HIS FEELINGS HURT. Therefore Lawson Early Fired His Pistol Into a Crowd. St. Mark’s Colored M. E. Church, on the Belt road near Tenleytown, was the scene of an entertainment Tuesday evening, and there was a large crowd in attendance. Lawson Early, a young colored man, was one of the party. He had gone there in company with a female friend, but during the course of the evening-she left him for another, and when the chureh doors were closed and the gathering had dispersed Lawrence found that he had to walk the lonely road alone, and his walking was not in the nature of the usual Halloween game. But he had concluded to play a desperate game before the night was over. He had been robbed of his girl, so he thought, and somebody would have to suffer, He started off a little in advance of the party of which his -femaie friend was a member, and when only a short distance from the church he turned and fired one shot. It made no particular difference to Early who received the bullet. His feel- ings had been hurt and he intended to hurt somebody. The bullet struck Walter Dover in the arm, and inflicted e painful but not dangerous wound. The affair created some excitement in the village, and Policeman Heide, who was at home asleep, left his bed and went in search of the man who fired the shot. He was found in bed at his home, on Woodley road. He gave the officer his pistol and went with him to the poiice station. A charge of assault to kill was preferred against Early in the Police Court yesterday, and Judge Miller held him in $500 security for the action of the grand jury. A FIVE-DOLLAR BILL. It is Supposed to Be Counterfeit and the Affair is Being Investigated. A battered and worn five-dollar bill was received by a clerk in the store of F. W. Letmate, 1336 F street, this morning; in payment of a purchase. A silver souvenir spoon was the article secured, and the Price, $1.75, was deducted, and the change of $3.25 was handed to the purchasers, who thereupon took their departure. After they had gone the clerk called the attention of Mr. Letmate to the bill, which attracted his notice because it was so worn and soil- ed. Mr. Letmate thought that it looked suspicious, and in orded to be sure, sent it over to the banking house of Crane & Par- rish, where it was pronounced to be a coun- terfeit. Mr. Letmate was inclined.to believe that the transfer of the bill was intentional on the part of his purchasers for several rea- sons, There were three in the party, one man and two women. All three were well dressed, and the man and one of the women were middle-aged, while the other woman was younger. Mr. Letmate thought after- ward it was peculiar that one of the party should engage his attention while the others were negotiating the purchase. He also thought that they showed some haste in getting away. At any rate, he was out a souvenir spoon and $3.25, and -so he reported the case to the police. As it involved the passing of counterfeit money, the case was turned over to the secret service of the Treasury Department, and their detectives will endeavor to find out whether the bill ‘was passéd innocently or not. —_—-_— Class Officers Elected. At the annual organization of the medical and dental classes of the National Uni- versity, held in the lecture hall of the col- lege building last evening, the class officers for the ensuing year were elected. There was a lively canvass for the various of- fices and while the competition was very brisk and much enthusiasm displayed still perfect order was maintained and the final result was announced as follows: F. O. Roman, president; Ransom L. Caton, vice president; Miss B. F. Reyburn, recording secretary; Frank D. Magnus, correspond- ing secretary; Harry J. Allen, treasurer. The Howard University medical class held an annual election of officers last evening. Mr. 8. J. Wheatland of Massachusetts was elected president; Mr, Frank J. Webb, jr. of Texas, vice president; Mr. Chas. West of the District of Columbia, secretary, and Mrs. R. Wright of Pennsylvania, treasurer. The above named officers were elected as an executive committee. Guion Liners Taken Of. The Guton line has decided to discontinue its passenger service between New York city and Liverpool for four months. The steamer Alaska will leave Jersey City next Saturday afternoon, and will be their last possenger ship to sail until March. The ight service of the line, consisting of two new vessels, will be continued during the winter months, however. The Guion line last winter stopped the running of its steamers because of bad business, but the withdrawing of the service comes a month earlier this year. A CLOCK Out of order shows iton the face.
