Frank E. Brownell in This City. | . | The Last Actor in the Dramatic Event of the Earty War Period Passes Away. Capt. Frank E. Brownell, famous as the aveager of the death of Col. Elisworth, died early this morning at his boarding | place at 13th and K streets. He had en- | Joyed his usual health up to a few weeks | ago. On the night of the heavy snow storm he walked from the Army and Navy | | Club to his home, and since that time he | has been in failing health. His wife and | his brother, F. B. Brownell of St. Louis, | were with him in his last hours. The iater- | ment will be in St. Louis. i During his recent iilness he hag talked | | in his delirium of his efforts to disclose the conspiracy of the Knights of the Golden Circle, which he investigated while acting as assistant to the provost marshal general of St. Louis. Capt. Brownell was born in Troy, N. ¥., July 1%, 1840. Hie enlisted April 30, 186 |the eleventh New York worth's Fire Zouaves. He afterward en- ed the Infantry and was promoted to rst lieutenant, and was retived November 4, 18K, on account of injuries received in the line of duty. n the 24th of May, 1861, occurred the event which made Capt. Brownell the | nger of the first blood of the war shed in the south. The story concerns one of the most dramatic incidents of the war, | and been made familiar in song and | story. Col. Ellsworth, with his command landing in Alexandria on the morning of the day, and while marching through the city, his eye was attracted by a confed- erate fiag which was displayed over the | Marshall House. Col. Elisworth simply directed a file of soldiezs to accompany, and, entering the house, he proceeded to j the roof, where the celors were soon lowered. As he was coming down stairs the proprietor of the house, Mr. Jackson, | | came out from his bed room and shot Col. | | Ellsworth. Immediately Capt. Brownel! shot Jackson. The occurrence created the greatest excitement throughout the coun- try. Capt. Brownell’s deed was recognized by Congress, who gave him a medal! of honor. | He se-ved as assistant provost marshai | and muste-ing officer in St. Louis in 1864, and three years later he mustered out in Kansas the last regiment of volunteers, in December, 1867. During the administration of President Arthur Capt. Brownell was appointed to a clerkship in the pension office, and he was | connected with the bureau at the time of | his death. Capt. Brownell! was a member Post No. 28, G. A. R., Chicago, IIL, and of the Commandery of the Loyal Legion of this city. He was presented with sundry medals and other tokens by the citizens of “Troy, N. Y¥., New York city, Boston, Providence and other places. ‘In 1867 he was married to Miss Harring- ton in St. Louis, who survives him. Four brothers and two sisters are still living. a CAPT.

All the flags at the river front are at half-mast, [and will remain so till after the funeral, | which will take place at Alexandria on Sat- Jurday. At il o'clock yesterday the Randall-| made the landing at St‘ff's wharf on the | Virginia side. Capi. Nowell gave the usual | !anding orders and went ashore for a mo- | ment. He shook hands and chatted with the people at that piace, and seemed in a | joyful mood. He pranked with Chief Engi- neer Tom Tennyson of his craft, and, cfter having ordered lines off, he went into the | pilot house and stood by the wheel with vilot Richards. The rounding had just been |made preparatory to entering Potomac eek, but, as a craft was passing out, the | Randali to. It was at this juncture that the captain said to his pilot, “I am getting izzy; stand by her, and don’t let her go ashore.” He sank on a couch and never | spoke again. The alarm was given, and the | boat rushed through to Alexandria. Every ounce of steam that could be carried }put on, and all energies bent toward mak- | ing Alexandria in the shortest possible time. | As she drew into the wharf one of the offi- {cers leaped ashore, and within a few mo- ments Dr. Jones was at the side of the dying | man. A telephone message was sent to Dr. Hammett to meet the boat at -her home dock, and onct more she was subjected to ail the steam pressure which her license would allow. Dr. Hammett was on board |before the boat had touched the dock, and he and Dr. Jones gave it_as their opinio& ;that the captain was beyond hope. The | pews soon spread, and before long his wife, two of his sons and many of ais river friends were around him. At half-past 12 he died. The doctors had left, and those around him were Russe!

The boards there are strong staff of teachers. The thing that im- pressed me most in connection with the Washington schools is the successful op- eration of their manual training schools. In seven years from the time of their in- troduction they popularity, and have now reached a point where they have become a permanent tea- ture. Mr. Davidson is very proud of the public schools of his city, and.says he will not “take a back seat"'for the New York schools, or any other schools except those of Wash- ington, to which, he says, he most decidedly “takes off his hat. “Sinbad.”—To many the spectular drama offers the most attractive amusement, and | |: that it takes well in Washingtua was aem- onstrated by the large audiences that wit- nessed “America” last week. “Sinbad,” a spectacle that has had great success where- ever it has been presented, will be seen at Albaugh’s next week. It will come with all its gorgeous scenery and costumes that have made it so popular, and there will be lots of pretty girls, some good acting and many attractive specialties. “Peck’s Bad Boy.”—A play that aas held its own for severai seasons is “Peck’s Bad Boy,” and although it has beer seen in Washington frequently, it 1s always wel- come, for there are always new features, and such will be the case when ft comes to Harris’ Bijou Theater next week. May Russell Burlesque Company.—Man: ager Kernan is always up vo Jate with his attractions, and next week he will bring to the Lyceum Theater the May Kusseii Pur- lesque Company, an organization contain- ing some of the most attractive performers on the variety stage. The progcam will be varied and interesting. Miss Richards’ Lecture.—Toaight at Ci roll Institue Hall Miss Janet Elizabeth Richards will deliver her illustrated leciure, entitled “One Week in London; What May Be Seen in That Time.” Miss Richards has already gained quite a reputation as a lec- turer, not only by the excelleat matter of her discourses, but by the clear and effect- ive manner in which they are delivered. Her illustrations are from photogtapus that she herself secured while visiting in ithe great English capital. Dr, Bryant Tonight.—Tonight Dr George Wellington Bryant will deliver a lecture at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, iaking for his subject “The Gray, the Biack and the Blue.” Dr. Bryant is said to be one cf the most finished of colored orators and wherever he has spoken he has met with decided success. Gen, D. E. Sickles will have steadily grown in | | i preside and introduce the lecturer, and It | is expected that a large numper of distin- guished men from both houses of Congress will be present. ‘The Theatrical Mechanics.—On Sunday night there will be a convert at the New National Theater for the benefit of the Theatrical Mechanics’ Association. The program will be an attractive one, and some of the best professional and amateur talent will participate. Mr. Hub Smith will introduce his newest song, which it ts pre- dicted will make fully as sreat a hit as any of his well-known successes. eae ee His Pay Reduced. Joseph Bishop, a bright little thirteen- year-old boy, who has spent several days and nights about the streets, was picked up last night by Policeman Kimmel and taken before Judge Miller this’ morning. Two nights ago he was with a boy who was arrested for begging, and the officer brought him In to have the court send him to some home or institution, The boy said he was thirteen years old, and had been in the Industrial Home School for nearly thir- ty months, and some time ago he went to live at the house of Mr, Sheriff, near Ben- ning. “Why did you leave there?” the judge asked. “I was only getting $1.50 a month,” he said, “and that would hardly clothe me.” lis pay, I understand, was reduced from interrupted the officer. Yes, sir,” added the boy. “ $8, and my pay was cut dow! ‘Are your parents living?” My father’s dead, but my mother lives at Springdale, Fairfax county, Va." Policeman Kimmel told Judge Miller he thought the boy was a good one, and said he would like to have him if he were keep- ing house. The boy said he was willing and anxious to work, if he could only get enough to buy clothes. Judxe Miller said he would hold the boy for the Industrial Home School, and if he Was not wanted there, then the board of rdians will take him.
