A CRIMSON NIGHT AT WELCKER'S Gathering of the Sons of the First American College. GOOD SPEECHES AND SONGS > It was Harvard night at Welcker’s last night, and in the handsome banquet were assembled a goodly number of the sons of the oldest university in the United States to participate in the annual dinner of the Washington Harvard Club. The | elements were anything but propitious, and Profs. Cleveland Abbe and Frank H. Bige- lew were chaffed to a considerable extent for not providing better weather for an eccasion in which they were both inter- ested. But, though it was snowing out- side, within the walls of the hospitable | hesteirie there was the cheerful glow of eccd fellowship and the warmth of fra- ternal feeling that is nowhere so strong as among college men. N» college has more loyal sons than fair Harvard, and their loyalty increases as the years roll on, $0 that the graduate of more than half u century ago is even more devoted and true to the interests of his alma mater than the young man fresh from her protecting arms. All Were Boys Again. There was a youthful spirit and enthu- siasm manifested by all last night, whether they had graduated in the thirties or in the nineties, and the cheers and the “rah- rahs” were given with as firm a voice by those whose hair had been silvered by time as by those in all the pride and glory of early manhood. They sang college songs, too did these older boys, and entered heart- ily into the spirit of the occasion. ‘The tables were handsomely decorated with flowers, the Harvard color, crimson, predominating, and the boutonnieres were carnaticns. ‘rhe menu was all that te most fastidious taste could desire, and the; general opinion was that this was the most enjoyable dinner in the history of the club. A feature of the evening was the singing of college songs, the words of which were | found’ in a neat tittle booklet that was placed at each cover. Mr. Marshall Cush- ing an@ Mr. T. A. Cooliige led the most of the songs and all the company joined heart- ily in the choruses. Before the banguet there was a brict business meeting, when the nominating committee reported a 1ist of officers, whieh were elected by the secretary pro tem., Prof. F, W. Clarke casting the ballot cf the club. The venerable president, Juage Edward Lander, was of course re-elected, an the other officers were as follows: Vice presidents, Davies Wilson, Frank W. Hack- ett, 8. F, Emmons, Thos. M. Chatard, avd J. W. Holcombe; secretary, Bernard i. Green, and treasurer, Pickering ‘odge. There was also a report submitted by Dr. Frank T. Howe en tne part of the dinner committee, and some suggestions made of __|changes that might be advantageous next year. President Lander's Addres The tables in the banquet hall were ar- ranged in the form of the letter T, at the head of which sat Judge Lander, the presi- dent, with Mr. H. Sidney Everett on his ight and Mr. Frank W. Hackett on his left, and after the dinner had been discuss- eth Judge Lander rapped for order and made an excellent speech, telling of the progress ‘of the university since his college days in the thirties. He spoke of the firm stand that Harvard had taken for higher intel- leetual training and of the advanced strides it had made under its present popular presi- dent. He read some statistics showing that Harvard had now in all its branches 2,156 students, and also proving that the inc of admissions for the year ase ‘4 was greater than that of any other college in: the country. He told some interesting stories of his own college experiences and spoke of the changes that had occurred since then, and of the greater freedom that >the students now enjoy. He was gratiied to see so-many of the younger graduates at Rheumatism songs was a feature of the evening. Mr. John 3B. Henderson, jr, gave “Mrs. Craigin's Daughter” in excellent style; Mr. Marshall Cushing sang “The Widder Want a Drink,” and other songs well known to every Harvard man were sung with | reat gusto. About midnight Judge Lander | retired, after expressing gratification at the number present, and the good time that had been experienced, and he com- mitted the company to the tender mercies of Mr. Frank W. Hackett, who happily introduced the speakers for the remainder of the evening. The banquet closed with the singing of “Auld Lang Syne,” and @ repetition of “Fair Harvard,” and the twelfth annual dinner went into history as the niost enjoyable event in the life of the Washington Harvard Club. The dinner committee consisted of Prof. W. H. Wiley, chairman; Dr. Frank T. Howe, secretary Messrs. Marshall Cushing, W. D. Davidge, jr., and Ralph C. Johnson. ‘Those present were: Prof. Cleveland Abbe, | Charles C. Binney, '78; Prof. Frank # Frederick W. Coburn, "91; '83; Marshall Cushing, ‘83 ; W. D. Davidge, jr. | Thomas Durant, Bernard R.

Early in January Mr. Marshall, who re- sides near the Grove, with about fifty others, filed a petition with the county com- missioners at Rockville asking that ground for a public roadway north and south, sub- stantially through the center of the grounds of the Washington Grove Camp Meeting Association, might be condemned to enable those Iving north of said grounds to reach the railroad station by a more direct route. ‘The county commissioners appointed an ex- amining committee of three persons and yesterday this committee made careful in- spection of the route over which the road Was proposed to be laid, accompanied by Dr. O. M. Muncaster, who was present to represent the petitioners, and Dr. M. D. Peck, who was the designated representa- tive of the Washington Grove Association to oppose the granting of the petition, to- gether with a large number of the petition- = and some of the trustees of the associa- tion, After the proposed route had been ex- amined and the representative of the pe- titioners had been heard it was urged on the part of the grove association that the | convenience of the general public, and should it be laid out, as proposed, within one hundred feet of the circle in which the tabernacle is located, the dust arising from the road in a dry season, and the noise created on said road, especially during the period of the colored camp meeting, would render the camp almost uninhabitable. The committee retired for consultatton and soor after they returned and announced that they had unanimously agreed to report ad- versely to the petition, as it was not thought a public roadway was necessary £0 near the a realy established Laytonsville road, which is oi about S00 feet froin the one petitioned for. — GRAND CIRCUIT DATES.

Immediately on the conclusion of Judge Lander’s remarks, which were frequently | interrupted by applause, the entire com- pany sang “Fair Harvard” with great enthusiasm and followed this with the Har- vard cheer and the nine Jong “rahs."’ Mr. H. Sidney Everett was the next speaker, nd he talked pleasantly of incidents in his ‘own ¢oliege days and of the glory which ‘the recent years had added to the fame of the’ old university at Cambridge. He was | followed by Mr. Frank W. Hackett, whose tribute to the advancement of Harvard in intellectual training and in the wider on- portunities afforded to her students for pur- suing special branches of study was an elo- quent one. He spoke also of the growih of the Washington Harvard Club and urget continued interest on the part of the mem- bers. Some Other Speakers. Other speakers were Judge W. A.

Birney, who spoke for the class of ‘78; Prof. Cleveland Abbe, who referred in glowing terms to the intel- lectual stand that Harvard had taken rot. F. W. Clarke, who gave some excel- lent imitations that demanded an encore; Dr. Frank T. Howe, who told some stories of the class of "G3, the first freshman class that -had@ beaten the sophomores in the foot ball mateh, and the class that buried the foot ball, and then referred earnestly to the great and noble work the college had done in the past and what it might hope to accomplish in the future; Prof. Ww. Wiey. who spoke of his love for Harvard as a farmer and of his early dreams of the great’ university while in the wilderness of a@ western state; Prof. Chas. E. Munroe, who made many witty allusions to college incidents; Mr. J. W. Holcombe, whose re- marks breathed the same spirit of loyalty to Harvard that pervaded the entire com- pany; Mr. Chas. E. Moore, who fully sus- tained his reputation as the class orator of Rev. J. MacBride Sterrett, who proved that a clergyman could be a good after-dinner speaker; Mr. Bernard Green who told some excelient stories; Mr. T. A! Coclidge, who sustained the honor of the class of 'S3; Mr. E. T. Chamberlain, who indicated how fully qualified he was for the position of commissioner of navigation, aad Mr. W. Howe Totten, who demon: strated that the most recent graduate, one who had only left the shades of Harvard in '9, could interest and entertain the older graduates by happy and earnest re- marks.

The directions on the en- S are so plain and explicit that the most inexperienced can do as well as the professional dyer.

It is al- | most impossible, as all parents who take j any interest whatever in their children know, to keep the little ones off the streets after school, and I have no doubt a great deal of sickness of the children results, at least, from being out rainy days and trudg- ing home all covered with mud.

INFURIATED AT HIS AWFUL CRIME ————, Brutal Assault on a Twelve-Year \ Old Girl. MARYLANDERS EXCITED Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. UPPER MARLBORO’, Md., Feb. 14, 1894. “Mum's the word,” was the answer te every question asked here early this even- ing concerning the prospective lynching of ;the negro Jim Allen, confined in jail here |for an alleged felonious assault on the twelve-year-old daughter of Thomas Simp- | Son, a resident of Woodmore, Tuesday af- ternoon, as stated in a dispatch to The Star yesterday. No crime in this county has | caused such a feeling against the perpe- | trator since the barn burning by the Ver- | millions as this dastardly one, and it is although the event may not occur until after the trial of the prisoner on Friday. The people of the county want to make sure they have the right man before they take the law in their own hands, and save the county the enormous expense of a trial and legal execution, which Is almost sure to follow a conviction. The murder of) Frank Bowie, op last Palm Sunday, did not | cause anything like the feeling that this case has caused, nor was it necessary at that time to summon a posse of citizens to | guard the Jail, as was found necessary here last night. ‘The prisoner, Jim Allen, reached here about 2 o'clock this morning in charge of Sheriff Dove, and the movements of the sheriff were so quiet that it was not until this afternoon that many of the residents of the town knew that there was any such person as Jim Allen in the little prison. Sheriff Dove left here, after lodging his man in jail, and departed for Annapolis, leaving the negro in charge of Warden W. J. Spicer and Jailer Dombhart. State’s Attorney Brandt was the busiest man in town this afternoon and this even- ing. He had heard of threats of lynching | Allen, as had the jail officials, and Judge | Brooke, when made acquainted with the |facts. promptly made an order directing Warden Spicer to summon a posse of twenty citizens to do guard duty during i.e night. Summoning a Posse of Citizens, Warden Spicer keeps a saloon only a short distance from the jail, and a num- ber of citizens were seated around the red- {hot stove about 7 o'clock, when suddenly |the warden appeared from behind the bar, read their names and politely informed them that they had been summoned to ap- pear at the jail for guard duty. There was an exodus toward the door | | leading into the main street, but those who! started out yielded because of fear of the iron arm of the law, and turned to inquire by what authority they n. By order of the court,” was the reply of | the warden, in a tone which indicated that |he meant every word he said | “The court be d——" remarked one of the men. “I won't stand out in the snow to- |Might to save any such black —- — as that.” It makes no difference to me whether | |you go or not,” retorted the warden, “I have obeyed the order of the court, and | you may make any answer you plecse. I have done my duty in the matter, end that’s all that 1s require]. It was stated that th had been called county would pay me of them wanted but this, of course, | the money in advanc | Was not forthcoming. | The warden then went out in search of other men to do ri daty, going as far as Lapstone to secure the requisite num- } Tr. | About 9 o'clock tonight, after some of the | guards hat been swern in at the jall, two | shots were rd in vicinity of the | prison, which were foliowed by loud talk- ing, and several guests of the Farmers’ | Hotel rushed across the road, expecting. to | See a crowd at the jail, but the voices were hushed, and there was no more to be seen | Near the prison, which is surrounded by a high fence. A light was seen through the window ir the jailer’s office on the first floor, but ail was quiet in the second story. Afterward | the voices of the guards could be heard, but The Star's correspondent was unable to get in the building and interview the | prisoner, as the same secrecy is endeavor- ed to be maintained as was attempted in the case of Pinkney ani Barber, who mur- | dered Frank Bowie, and who were executed | for their crime. The Crime. It was about 4 o'clock Tuesday evenin-; |that the horrible crime was committed jon the defenseless little girl, who was |on her way from school. Thomas Simpson, the girl's father, lives only a short distance | frcm the village of Lapmore, which ts less | than two miles from Mulliken’s station on the Pope's creek branch of the B. and P. road, about t»n or twelve miles trom this | place. The little gir! had atteaded school and, in company with her younger brother, she started home shortly after 1 i | |reached Woodville the two little o: went in the store to make some purchase: for their mother and there, it was charged, Jim Allen and another negra were occty ing one of the boxes or barrels, enicying the warmth of the village store. For a few minutes the unsuspecting littie chil- | dren waited until the storekceper attend-1 to them and they got warm and then thi started fer home over the road they had so oft2n traveled without being molested How far they had gone is not known, but they were beyond hearing distance of the store, when the negro, who had left the | store, so it is charged, overtook them. The little girl was grabbed and roughly han- led and the wretch accomplished his pur- pose, inflicting injuries from which the ‘little girl may never fully recover. Concerning her conditicn storics told here conflict. The sheriff, it is stated, told Ja‘lor | Dombhart that the victim had identified the | prisoner and it was also stated that the | little brother knew him. | ‘The Victim's Condition. | When the little victim was taken home | she was In a frightful condition, so it is reported here. Sie had been so brutally | | treatel that Dr. Duvall of Bowie, who |attended her, feared her injuries might prove fatal. Her condition changed last | night for the worse. Word was received here | this afternoon that the patient was uncon- scious. This caused an increas: of the feel- | ing against the prisoner and made his ending at the hands of ‘Judge Lynch” a | little more certain than before. The Prisoner. j “Jim” Allen, as the negro is known, ts | | well-known in this section. Although he! |is not more than twenty-two years old, he has served a term in the house of correc- | tion near Baltimore for a crime approach- | ing the one now charged against him. That was about two years ago. He was then ar- rested for grossly insulting the wife of | Mr. Harvey, a citizen of Glendale, and for | which the light penalty of three months | was imposel. Since his release he has worked on a number of farms between here | jand Odenton, including the place of Mr. Simpson, father of the little gir) who was assaulted. It has not been many months since he was employed there and the chil- dren were well acquainted with him, so \that his identification by them will un- doubtedly be conclusive enough proof to convict him, should the citizens permit the law to take {ts course, which at this writ- ing appears extremely doubtful. The Arrest. When it was made known that the lit- | tle child had been so cruelly treated there | was the greatest excitement among the citizens of Woodville, and threats of lynch- | ing were heard on all sides. No time was | lost in notifying Sheriff Dove of the occur- |rence and he was soon at Woodville. Be- fore midnight he had Allen under arrest, | |and as already stated he reached the jail jabout 2 o'clock this morning. A knock on |the gate brought out the jailor and the |Megro was given a hearty welcome. His |mame, age, and the charge against him | | | | were recorded and in a few minutes the If you have bad breath, constipation, pain in the | | Dack, nervousness, or dizziness your wike course ts | 10 take Dr. Duvid Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. | Tt will cleanse the blood of all impurities, regu: | late the Kidneys and Liver, and thus restore a (bealthy glow to your cl again, ‘conversation with | town Were to be seen walking through the | | mittee on testimonial realize what ie at | which the post a | 'Typograph = BEECHAM’S PILL (Vegetable) What They Are For Biliousness sick headache (me- wind on the stomach backache indigestion (dyspep- grim or hemicrania) pain or oppression pain in the side sia) nervous headache around the heart heaviness sickness at the stom- dull headache fluttering of the heart disturbed sleep ach (nausea) jaundice (palpitation) nightmare heartburn pimples irritability hot and throbbing loss of appetite (ano- fulness of the stom- nervousness head rexia) ach (distention) depression of spirits coldness of hands and coated tongue shortness of breath great mental depres- _ feet bad taste in the mouth (dyspnoea) - sion hot skin torpid liver dizziness (vertigo) general debility sallow skin when these conditions are caused by constipation; and consti- pation is the most frequent cause of most of them.

He felt certain that he would not be lynched, because, he said, he was inno- cent of the charge. The sheriff found him at the home of his mother, where he was in bed asleep. When accused of having assaulted the | girl he protested his innocence and said he Was at home when the assault occurred. Jailor Spicer was the only man in town tonight who was willing to admit that he knew the facts "concerning the assault. In | ‘The Star's correspondent he said that there was no doubt concerning the guilt of the man in custody. He had seen Sheriff Dove, who told him exacily how the affair happened. When Cora Simpson reached home she was nearly ex- hausted. Her clothing was torn and she by the negro. From what he had learned the negro choked the girl until she was in- sensible, and he then assaulted her. The prisoner, he said, was taken to the Simpson house, where he was fully identified by both the girl and her brother. | The storm that set in early last evening | continued untii nearly midnight, and some of the men sworn in as guards to protect | the prisoner felt certain that a committee | of Woodville citizens would visit the jail before mcrning, but they fatied to come.
