DIED SUDDENLY. Mr. Larrabee of Maine Expires While Conducting Explosive Tests. Mr. Charles S, Larrabee of Bath, Me., one of the proprietors of the Larrabee machine works of Boston, died suddenly from an attack of heart disease in this city yester- day afternoon. He was the inventor of a time fuse said to be capable of exploding at will, and he had come to Washington to conduct experiments with the invention for the benefit of government officials. The trials were to have taken place at the In- dian Head proving grounds yesterday, and, in fact, they had commenced in the pres- ence of a party of ordnance officers, when Mr. Larrabee was taken. dangerously ill. Dr. Stone of the navy, who happened to be present, made a hasty examination,and find- ing that the man was suffering from heart disease, ordered him removed to Washing- ton at once. He was placed on a tug for that purpose, and, although every attention was paid him, he rapidly grew worse, and finally expired just before the boat reached Alexandria. Upon reaching this city the remains were removed to Gawler’s under- taking establishment and prepared for transportation to his late home in Bath. The coroner examined the body later in the af- ternoon, and gave a certificate of death from heart disease. Mrs. Larrabee, wif¢ of the deceased, was at the Arlington Hotel when notified of her husband’s death, and was nearly prostrated by the news. She will accompany the remains to their last resting place. AE ee AID FOR WOMEN. The Work Accomplished by the Wo- men’s Christian Associatio: The annual meeting of the Women’s Christian Association was held yesterday at the home, 1719 13th street.

Through the aid rendered. by the friends of the home 184 inmates were cared for free of charge, while there were 21!) who paid more or less as they were able for board. ‘The average cost of boarding the regular inmates of the home was $5.4%% per month each. There died during the year Mrs. Eliza Hart, who was the second inmate of the home to be xd- mitted to the roll of life membership. Mrs. ay had been a resident of the home since s The thanks of the board of managers was extended through the committee to Dr. lda J. Heiberger and to Wr. B. Frank Gibbs, both of whom this year retire from the board, and also to the other physicians of the city whose time and attention had been kindly given to the home and its inmates. ———_ —— Court of Appeals Decfaioi Late yesterday afternoon the following decisions were tiled in the Court of ga Pe the cases having been argued at thé De- cember term of the court: No. 108, Hughson agt.

Mr. William King, the pioneer coal dealer of the West End, and a gentleman whose fe has been a model of uprightness and probity, died last night at his home on N between Jist and 32d streets. For a long time his health, owing to his advanced age, had been failing, and when he was finally stricken to his room his relatives could not help but see that {t would no doubt be his last confinement. Mr. King leaves two sons and a daughter. One of his sons, Mr. William King, jr., has for some time been a partner in the coal busineds. Deceased was at one time connected with the corporative bodies of the town; bas acted as director in several of the financial institutions, and has always been recog- nized as a foremost citizen. Such a téputa- tion for honesty and justice has hé borne in and such reliance has always been his opinion on most all subjects’that it w: customary among the business people of the vicinity to refer all disputes to him and abide without a murmur’‘to his decision. Mr. King has been looked upon as a well-to- do man. s BSI ae Before Judge Miller. Before Judge Miller this morning Charles E. Savoy and Wm. Miller, colored boys, were charged with an assault on Simon Savoy, father of the first named, and dis- orderly conduct in breaking his furniture. It was shown’ that the mother of Savoy was very ill‘and the son was drunk, and that Mitchell took him home and the elder Savoy ordered them out. They were each fined $5.for disorderly conduct. Reuben Foster and James Spriggs, two more of those charged with disorder in Hillsdale, were charged by Officer Kirby with an assault on Peter Sorrell and dis- orderly conduct, and Foster with carrying a razor. After hearing the testimony a sentence of sixty days in jail for the as- sault, fifteen days for disorderly conduct was imposed and Foster was given sixty days for the razor. Richard Simms was charged with an as- sault on Ella Miller, with whom he is liv- ing, and owned to striking her in the mouth ana was sentenced to six months in jail. > Young Men’s Catholic Club. Anyone noticing the extraordinary large number of members of the Young Men's Catholic Club in their rooms last evening would have known that they were there for @ purpose. It was their semi-annual elec- tion of officers. Interest centered on the election of president. Messrs. F. A. W. Van Reuth, J. F. Brennan, M. F. Halloran and T. A. Gorman were the candidates. The race was a very close one, four ballots being necessary for a choice, as a majority vote was required to elect. J. F. Brennan led the first three ballots, but the result was in doubt until the last, the election finally narrowing down between Messrs. Van Reuth and Brennan. Mr. Brennan, who was elected on the fourth ballot, has always been looked upon by the club members as a hustler, and will undoubtedly make a first- class presiding officer. He is a native of New York state, but has been a resident of this city for several years. The other successful candidates were vice president, E. P. Schwartz; recording secretary, J. C. Sullivan; corresponding sec- retary, Wm. F. Sullivan; financial secretary, Jos. C. Stack; treasurer, Jno. T. 5 librarian, A. J. Schwartz; sergeant-at- P. A. Rowan. Owing to the lateness uf the hour the election of the ten additionai mem- bers of the board of governors was deferred until Sunday morning next. Tonight the Amateur Bowling League of the District will roll a series of games on the club alleys. ae They Did Not Forget Their Pastor. About ¥ o’clock Saturday evening quite a number of the members of the Walker Memorial Baptist Church filed into the par- lor of Rey. I. V. Bryant, 1231 T street, and after making a neat speech of well-chosen words, Mrs. L. Pendleton, in the name of the club, presented the pastor a fine suit of clothes, including a beaver oyercoat, be- sides several other useful articles. The pastor expressed his hearty thanks for be- ing so kindly and unexpectedly remembered, after which the party returned to their homes, | a A BAD RECORD. Officer Henrick Will Be Dismissed the Ferce at Once. Officer Wm. G. Henrick, who was tried in the lice Court yesterday for wife beat- ing and fimed $50 or ninety days in jail, will be removed from the police force to- day. Officer Henrick was recently brought be- fore the police trial board on a charge of intoxication and neglect of duty. After hearing the evidence he was recommended for removal, and when the board meets this afternoon the recommendation will be ap- proved. Private Herrick was detailed as station keeper at the eighth precinct station ‘wuse, and on the 28d of December was charged by Sergeant Jones with intoxication. ‘ne evidence was all against Henrick, whose only defense was that while he had been drinking he was not drunk. In all cases of officers tried a record of the defendant is submitted with the papers. This is Private Henrick’s record: Appointed September 1, 1800; October 8, 1880, tried for violation of the regulations and warned; August 19, 1891, tried for con- duct unbecoming an officer and intoxica- tion, and ordered removed from the force; October 23, 18¥1, order. removing him re- voked; May 4, 1802, tried for intoxication and conduct unbecoming an officer, and fined $25; November 30, 18¥2, tried for in- toxication, and fined $15 and warned; Sep- tember 20, 1893, tried for non-payment of debt and made to pay; August 16, tried for conduct unbecoming an officer and warned, together with a fine of $10, pid SRS SE AEN AMUSEMENTS. Richard Mansfield.—Mr. Richard Mans- field will command the attention of the lit- erary element of this city during his en- gagement at Albaugh’s, commencing Mon- day evening, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. The repertoire which he will offer is varied and gives theater-goers and students of the drama opportunities of see- ing him in many diverse and complex char- acters. On Monday and Thursday evenings he will offer the charming comedy of Man- ners’ “Beau Brummell." Tuesday evening and Saturday matinee Shakespeare's famous comedy, “The Merchant of Venice,” will be the bill, he interpreting the role of Shy- lock, and Miss Beatrice Cameron essaying the character of Portia. Wednesday matinee and Friday evening, Gunter’s brilliant com- edy, “Prince Karl.” Wednesday evening, the only performance of Mansfield’s master- piece of Baron Chevrial in “A Parisian Romance,” will be given, and Saturday night he will offer his dual impersonation of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” The advance sale of seats opens Thursday morning at ; box-office. i “The Power of Gold."—Walter Sanford’s scenic production, “The Power of Gold,’ comes to Harris’ Theater next Monday. lts humor is of the honest, hearty kind, while the whole is deftly flavored with a spice of crime sutticient to arouse the “gallery god” and yet not too repulsive for the kid-gloved auditor below. The scenery is from the brushes of the best known artists and is exact reproductions of sketches made for Mr. Sanford of the localities in “Old Lon- don.” ‘Ihe garret room under the eaves of the dilapidated tenement house is a faith- ful picture. Fred Waldmann’s Specialty Company.— Manager Kernan’s attraction for next week will be Fred Waldmann's own Specialty Company, an organization composed of the elite of the vaudeville stage. Among those in the company are the Eddy Trio, Jewell ; Brothers, Charley Wayne, Richard Pitrot, Richmond and Glenroy, Magee and Crim- mins, Bogert and O'B:ien, Robetta and Do- retto, Adrienne Ancion and Forbes and Quinn. The Black Patti.—The concert tohight by Mme. Sissieretta Jones, better known es the Black Patti, promises to. be an event of more than usual musical int t. Mme. Jones has really a voice of rei able pu- rity and compass, which has recefved cultivation, and she is undoubtedly the best j Vocal exponent of the race. She will be sup- ported by a good company, and it is expect- ed that che Vermont Avenue Baptist Church will be crowded. Whe Schott Song Recital.—The song recital that is to be given at Metzerott. Hall tomor- row night by Anton and Albert Schott Promises to be one of the notable musical events of the season. The memory of the excellent work of Anton, who may perhaps justly claim the title of the greatest living German tenor, is still fresh in the minds of Washingtonians, and he will be gladly well- comed back. His brother is said to be a singer far above the ordinary. The program will be carefully a>ranged to giye every va- riety of sentiment, and Mr. Anton Schott | will, in obedience to the request of | mumbe> of people, sing aaa ler | Grenadiers.” __ Messrs. John tence and E. H. Droop will panists. Seats may be fott’s music store. The Tavezy Concert,-Phe audience at Metzerott Hall last night’on the occasion of the second concert of the Tavary company was unaccountably small, but it was fully as enthusiastic’as on the previous evening; and the work of the performers justified the enthusiasm manifested. The program was attractive, the first pa>t including solos from all the members of the company and two duets—one from ‘Martha,”’ the weil- mown solo profugo, by Sigs. Michelena and ori, and the other from Rossini’s Stabat Mater,by Mesdames Tavary and Doenhoff,all of which were excellently sung. long time since the Shadow Song from “Di- norah”’ has been heard better or more a tistically executed here than was done by Mme. Tava-:y, and Sig. Michelena s selection from “Tzovatore” was a very happy effort. The third act of “Faust” was sung with Mme. Tavary as Marguerhita, Mme. Doen- hoff as Siebel and Martha, Sig. Michelena, Faust, and Sig. Sartori, Mephistopheles. All ‘the characters were well sustained, Mme. Tava:y’s “Jewel Song” and Sig. Michelena’s “Salve dimora” being the gems. The Cc. Course.—Bill Nye and his companion entainer, Wm. Hawley Smith, a monologue reader of rare ability, will fu nish the third evening in the “C.C. Course. During this season of business depression, the professional humorist who can give us a few side aches in substitution for our many heart aches may be considered a pub- Me benefactor. Nye is a great reader as well as a writer, and Mr. Smith is probably the most popular elocutionist and mimic in i country. This will undoubtedly prove the aceom- secu! at Metze- ——.__.
