The Latest White House Crank Quite Well Known Here. Mrs. Losey, or Luci, the eccentric old lady who applied at the White House yesterday for alleviation of her alleged grievances, as to this city last May and boarded at 821 13th street for about four months. It is said that she at that time exhibited the same idiosyncrasy that she displayed yesterday, and that she would talk frequently upon her but little attention to her vagaries. She was left very much to herself by the people in the house, who were disinclined to have any relations with her. It was never believed, however, that she was at all dangerous, and the people only regarded her as a person suffering with dementia upon certain topics. It is said that she paid her bills regularly and explained that money was furnished her by her son. A dispatch from Camden, N. J., rs that Mrs. Luci has a son living in that ou. His name is G, Luci, and he was a book- maker's cle! the Gloucester race track. He said that his mother had been demented for ten or fifteen years, but that she was harmless and had never made threats against anyone. She refuses to live perman- ently at any place, and Luci sends her money for her support. About a week ago she wrote him from Washington that he was President of the United States and she wanted him to come on and assume the office. Luci says that he has no fears of his mother doing any harm to anyone, as her mania has never been violent. Adjudged Insane. Drs. Hickling and Nevitt made an exam- ination of the unfortunate lady today to ascertain her sanity. It was decided that she was not in her right mind and should be taken care of. It has not yet been deter- mined whether she will be returned to her son in New Jersey or whether she shall be sent to the Insane asylum. In the mean- time she. will probably be transferred to the asylum temporarily, as there are no a for her at the station Mrs. Losey persists that she did not go to the White House yesterday to see the Pres- ident. She scorns the idea of having any communication with him, to whom she at- tributes her troubles, and says she would walk squares out of her way to avoid meet- ing him. She says she went to the White House to see Col. Wilson and Officer Ellis. —_——__ Racing Matinee. The fact that racing without betting has no attraction for the racing public in the winter time was clearly demonstrated yes- terday, when, even though it was a holl- day, not more than 100 people attended the racing matinee at the Ivy City track. There was, however, a large attendance of horse- men, touts, stable boys and hangers-on, most of whom are forced to remain here for the reason that they are unable to se- cure funds enough with which to get away. Six sweepstakes events were run, the win- ners being: First race, five furlongs® Tom- my Dixon; second race, five furlongs, Jim Fagin; third race, four and one-half fur- longs, Syracuse; fourth race, five furlongs, Fiction; fifth race, one and one-quarter miles, Seventeen; sixth race, seven fur- longs, W. B. pes Mr. Cook Denies. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I hereby deny the charge made by a Miss Annie Hurley on Friday last in the Police Court of being the father of the child in re- spect to which she applied to the court, and I deny even seeing her, except on the street, for over three years. JOHN C. COOK. —__ Kenrsarge at San Domingo. A dispatch received at the Navy Depart- ment reports the arrival of the corvette Kearsarge at San Domingo city, where she was sent to protect American interests in the event of local disturbance following the attempt to assassinate President Heureaux. The commander of the Kearsarge did not say anything in his dispatch about the condition of affairs in San Domingo. The Kearsarge will proceed to Port au Prince, where she will await the arrival of Ad- miral Stanton, commanding the station, who will sail from New York tomorrow. ——————2+___ Local Patents.

The firemen were speedily on hand, but the building was a rookery and burned like tinder. Ladders were raised to the windows and the firemen bent all their efforts to saving the inmates. The second floor of the building was par- titioned off into compartments much in the same manner as horse stalls, and each stall held its quota of lodgers, packed in together like sardines. Some held twenty, some held thirty, There was no register. Straw, shavings and other rubbish formed the bedding and this furnished the neces- sary fuel with which the fire completed its deadly work. It was a regular cubby- — — Ary inmates were caught like rats ‘AURNIRG OF A BOSTON THEATER. Heavy Loss Caused by Fire Early This Morning. BOSTON, Jan. 2.—Four alarms, the first one at 1:15 this morning, in rapid succes¢ sion for a fire in the Globe Theater, rang on Washington street. It was said to have started in the coat room on the north side in the basement. It was burning vigorously inside when the firemen arrived, and the flames reach- ing the interior of the theater itself, had shot up through and along the balconies and were bursting through the roof. Several heavy explosions took place be- tween 1:40 and 2:15, whether of gas, cal- cium light tanks or of chemicals, said to be used in the performance of the Han- lon’s “Superba” Company, which has been Playing an engagement there,is not known. The whole theater, from basement to gallery and files, from lobby to stage, was soon afire and doomed. At 8 o'clock the entire center of the play house had been fairly burned out. The large six-story Buffalo brick build- ing, owned by the Harvard College trustees, on the northwest corner of Washington street and Hayward place; the building occupied by the Briant and Stratton Com- mercial School, on the other side of the theater on Washington street, and R. ‘I. Almy & Company's retail clothing house, on the corner of Washington and ssex streets, were, A number rushed down the stairway toward the rear, when warned by the smoke and heat, and were badly burned before being rescued by the firemen. Others not so fortunate, or perhaps stupetied with drink, were paralyzed with fear, when confronted with their sudden danger, and had to be carried out through the win- dows. The firemen did heroic work, fearlessly entering the blazing rooms and rescuing those unable to move themselves. four people were taken out in this condition, one of whom died before he reached the ground and the others seriously injured. When the flames had been fairly well subdued, a more thorough search was made through the stalls, and the woman victim was found, so badly burned that she cannot be identified. The loss on the building is about $10,0uU, The only one, however, in which the flames gained a footing was the four-story brick structure adjoining the scenery room of the theater, formerly occupied as a resi- ree by John Stetson, and which is now —— by the Globe Theater cafe, Ham- proprietor, and the club room of the peeomrcette Yacht Club. The building was badly damaged by and smoke. The roof of the theater ell in at 1:45. Impeded by Trolley Wires. The work of the firemen was impeded for a time by the trolley wires, which, how- ever, were soon cut. Lines of hose were carried over the roofs of the buildings which surrounded the the- ater and streams were poured down into the seething cauldron beneath. Men with axes had already assaulted the heavy doors guarding the Essex street and Hayward place entrance to the theater, and as they were broken in the flames burst into their faces. From these open- ings the firemen directed streams into the furiously burning interior. By this time the flames had eaten their way into the scenery room, where were the tanks of compressed oxygen and hydrogen used by the ‘Hanlons in obtaining their cal- cium light.effects, and when these exploded the fire spread into every nook and cranny in the building, and before 2 o'clock the yoof of the main theater building had fallen in with a crash, Stage Properties Destroyed. Shortly afterward the fire reached the four-story brick building on Harrison ave- nue extension, in which are located the green room and the players’ dressing rooms. In spite of the heroic efforts of the firemen this building was also gutted and costly wardrobes, properties and stage accessories were destroyed. Progress of the Flames. Creeping through an exit leading from the foyer of the theater to Hayward place, the flames soon reached the four-story brick structure No. 17 Hayward place, for- merly John Stetson's residence, on the up- per floors of which Hamilton Brock, the proprietor of the Globe cafe, in the adjoin- ing building, resided. On the street floor of this building was the entrance to the scenery room and from this point the fire reached upward and consumed the entire interior of the structure. The cafe occupied the’ ground floor of the adjoining building, No. 15 Hayward place. The upper floors are the winter quarters of the Massachusetts Yacht Club. Steward Willis and Caterer Roach were in the club parlor and they’ had no time to save either the club property or their own personal effects. This building, also, was gutted. The fire was by this time rapidly reach- ing toward Washington street, on Hayward place, and it was then that it seemed im- possible that the new building of the Har- vard trustees and the intervening buildings could escape. Before ier reached this point, however, it was successfully checked in the building occupied by the yacht club, and by 4 o’clock the fire was subjected and at 5 o'clock to- tally extinguished. The two buildings on Hayward place, which were destroyed with the theater building, were owned by Man- ager and Proprietor John Stetson of the Globe Theater, and upon these, he says, there is no insurance. The theater is leased by Mr. Stetson, and the bare property, in- cluding the land, is assessed at $160,000. The Loss Estimated at $350,000. The total loss is roughly estimated at for a time, in imminent it came in the shape of the biennial mes- sage from Gov. Brown.

BOULDER, Col., Jan. 2—Under date of December 9 last Mrs. Dole, wife of the President of Hawaii, wrote an interesting letter to her nephew, Guy Bennett, of this city, from which this extract is taken: “The news of Cleveland’s policy of re- storing the queen came upon us like @ thunderbolt. The excitement is intense here. The provisional government rose to the emergency in a splendid way. I ad- mire their magnificent courage even while I tremble. They fortified the legislative building more strongly and gave out pub- licly that they would resist attacks from whatever quarter. They are ready to sac- rifice their lives in this great cause—the cause of freedom and civilization in these islands. It all reminds me more than any- thing of the old revolutionary gare in the United States; the same spirit and much the same cause, only more need here, it seems \e. “Is at wot good how Cieveland’s plan for restoring the queen on the 10th of Novem- ber was frustrated and how the great American people have risen up in their wrath ana ‘will restrain him from his out- rageot ? It is a fine thing to see. And to think of little Hawaii causing all this excitement; but there is a tremendous principle involved in the struggle of free- dom and right against ical tyranny and wrong. It is grand to see the spirit. here. But we believe now the people have taken up the cause and we shall be all right. We are hoping for good news from Congress by next steamer.” —>—— Aground in the New Ship Canal.

Ee ee SS PROHIBITION IN MAINE. Alderman Tolman of Portland Calls the Law a Failure. Judge George Tolman, one of the alder- manic dignitaries of Portland, Me., is at the Normandie. He is an entertaining talker and a democrat. Although the tariff, especially that part of it concerning lumber, fish, salt and lime, commands some atten- tion, the live and living topic of the hour in his country is the liquor problem. Alder- man Tolman declares that prohibition does not prohibit. He said: “You can walk into @ hotel or a drug store in Portland and buy any kind of a drink from a small beer to a hot scotch or an absinthe cocktail. You can also get as many drinks as physical law (not municipal law) will allow. No questions will be asked. Plenty of drunk- en men can be met with. Sheriff Cram during his first term of office enforced the law to the letter. He was elected by 1,500 majority. Last fall he was a candidate for re-election, and although he had main- tained the law, he was elected by the skin of his teeth, and went in by a plurality of 45. This shows that the good people of Portland did not relish his enforcement of the law. The law is unpopular. It is not backed by public opinion. The sentiment in the cities in Maine is not ripe for the acceptance of this so-called moral reform. The people of the cities favor a license law which will permit hotels and drug stores to dispense liquor under certain restric- tions.” “Is Maine growing very tall presidential timber just now?” inquired The Star man. “Oh, Reed is very loudly and widely talk- ed of as the coming man, but who knows? Where is McKinley? It is too previous to discuss 1896 politics.” “Will any of the Maine democrats kick over the traces because the Wilson bil! happens to hit one of their pet industries?” “The democracy of Maine,” said Judge Tolman, “is too loyal. They will sustain the party, notwithstanding that some of their whims and oddities may get knocked in the head. Maine is becoming a demo- cratic state, and the democracy believes in tariff reduction.” ——_ Columbia Wins the Chess Contest. Columbia won the intercollegiate cham- pionship yesterday at New York, with a total of eight and a half wins. Harvard took second with 7, Yale third with 5, and Princeton last with 3 1-2. The men were pitted against each other in the fina) games in the following order: Table 1, Roberts (P.) vs. Hymes (C.); table 2, Hewins (H.) vs. Skinner (Y.); table 3, Spalding (H.) vs. Ross (¥.); table 4, Ewing (P.) vs. Libaire (C.). ‘There were a great number of visitors, in- cluding scores of pretty girls, all the after- noon and evening. Hymes and Roberts played a Sicilian de- fense, in which the former lost the exchange after twenty-six moves. Subsequently Hymes played very strongly and won after fifty-four moves. Skinner played a French defense against Hewins. The latter defended a premature attack splendidly, and won a piece, and af- ter six moves, the game, Spalding played “Spanish” against Ross. ‘The players started on even terms into the end game, when Ross blundered and lost after thirty-eight moves. Libaire played the greatest game of the tournament against Ewing,who opened with P. to Q. 4. The Columbian lad registered a victory after thirty-four moves in really brilliant style. ————_+e+-—______ Yesterday’s Winning Horses.

FOX HUNTING. ‘The Chevy Chase Club Have Sport on New Year. The hunters were out in force yester- day, over thirty-five engaging in the chase. The preliminary run was from the Woodley Inn to the Chevy Chase headquar- ters. The riders, in their pink coats, the hceunds, in their eagerness, and the horses, in their best trim, all presented a sight that made the thirty or forty prominent people who had assembled to see the start watch every moment pass with impatience in anticipation of the spirited pleasure to fol- low. At the signal all went off like a rocket.

This venerable lady, who died on New Year day at her residence, Seaton street, this city, had been for sixty years a resi- dent of Washington. She was the widow of Martin Renehan, the Jong-time door- keeper at the White House, whose career in that capacity began with the second administration of Gen. Jackson, and whose reputation as a wit, master of repartee, familiarity with the political history of his time and exceptional qualities as a raconteur made his name throughout his life familiar everywhere in the states. Mrs. Renehan had attained the ripe old age of seventy-two years, and died profoundly respected by her friends, venerated by her children and universally esteemed for her virtues as a woman and a Christian. a Surgeon Ashbridge’s Case. The record of the court martial case of Passed Assistant Surgeon Richard Ash- bridge has been before the Secretary of the Navy for several days, but has not yet been acted upon. This officer was tried on three charges and was convicted and sentenced to dismissal. It was alleged against him that while acting as recorder of @ naval court he refused to prepare the usual record of the proceedings, and when called on by the president of the court for an explanation, said Navy had authorized him to take the posi- tion he did. As a matter of fact the Secre- tary had given him no such authority. It is not true that he was charged with forg- ing the Secretary’s signature. His trouble arose out of a ent with Capt. Howison, commandant of the navy yard, Mare Island, in the course of which he pur- ported to be acting under specific instruc- tions from the Secretary of the Navy. e+ —_____ As Indian Inspector.
