Congressman Barnes Compton of the fifth Maryland district was severely in- Jured at Laurel, Md., yesterday afternoon by reason of the overturning of a carriage im which he was riding. Mr. Compton visited Laurel in order to attend a meeting of the directors of the Citizens’ National Bank of that place. Two of the directors, Messrs. Lloyd Dorsey and Charles Shaffer, met the Congressman at the depot. During the ride to the bank the driver made a short turn, the vehicle Was upset and Mr. Compton thrown heav- fly to the ground, sustaining cuts on the eqena and nose and also a sprained hip. le was brought to Washingto2 on the 5 @'clock train and taken to his nome, No. 1138 Connecticut avenue, where Dr. Brom- well attended him. The physician stated to a Siar reporter today that Mr. Compton Is resting much easier than he did last evening, and, as the injuries are not serious, he will be able to be out within a few days. ° SE They Went Wrong. Martha Lonesome, a colored girl seventeen years old, who has been leading an evil Ife for some months past, was in Judge Kim- all's court this morning, charged with vagrancy. A South Washington policeman told Judge Kimball of what he knew about the girl's charficter, and sald he had seen her-visiting disreputable houses. “Is what the officer says true?’ asked the e. “Yes, sir,” answered the girl. “Why are you leading this sort of life?” “Because my uncle beat me so that I couldn't Hve at his house.” “You will have to go to the reform school @uring minority,” said the judge. “That is the best place for you.” Mary Lee, a colored woman, arrested with her, wa8 serit to the farm for a month in de- fault of bond. Ella Dabney is an attractive young col- ored woman, who has the reputation of be- ing responsible for several family troubles. A colored man named Scully has especiai reason to complain against the woman's conduct. He knew of the trouble she had gaused in the families, and said she was the cause of one wife and children suffering for want of the necessities of life. “What he says is all wrong,” said Ella. She endeavored to explain her conduct, but Judge Kimball knew her too well and sen- tenced her to give security in the sum of or go*down for ninety days. —— Legion of Honor Anniversary.

MYSTERIOUS LIQUIDS Hard to Find Just What Robert Tolson Did Sell. lane Jury, Howev. » Say It Wa toxteating—Marvelous Effect of One Drink on Old Soldiers. Robert Tolson is the keeper of a small store on the Rock Creek Church road, and a week ago the officers on duty there had reason to believe, as they supposed, that | he was conducting a “speak-easy.” They had seen soldiers go in his place, and, thinking they had sufficient proof on which to secure a conviction in the Police Court, @ warrant was obtained and the case called in Judge Miller’s court yesterday afternoon. John Wilson and Hugh Wilson were the witnesses on whom the District had to rely to make out their case, and so they were sworn with Policeman McNamara | to tell the truth, the whole truth ani noth- ing but the truth. Attorney Leon Tobriner, who appeared for the defendant, entered a piea of not guilty, and at his suggestion the witnesses Were separated. The policeman was first called to the stand, and he told of the location of the defendant's place on Rock Creek Church road, but counsel did not question him con- | cerning the sale of intoxicants there. Felt the Effect. Hugh Wilson ts an inmate of Soldiers’ Home, and he appeared as an unwilling witness against Mr. Tolson. He was dress- | ed in the blue suit such as is worn by the mmates of the home. In giving his evi- dence he had to be reminded of the fact that unless he answered the questions and bos the whole truth he would be sent to Then the witness straightened up and answered what questions he was asked in @ more satisfactory way. “I was in Toison’s that night,” he said, “and had some drinks.” But he insisted that he did not know whether the liquor was whisky or wine, but, to the best of his belief, he thought it was whisky, “I know it made me drunk,” he said, “and I fell in the road.” “How did you get back home?’ “In a cart.” On cross-examination witness said he was not an expert in the matter of intoxi- cants, but he‘knew that soon after he had the drinks and went out he fell down. Size for Hair Oil. John Williams, another inmate of the home, was called, and he tried to enlighten the court about the taking of the testi- mony of a man who had been drinking, and Judge Miller told him what he told the previous witness, that if he did not tell the whole truth the court would find a way to make him. But John would not say that he got whisky in Tolson’s. He went in there and gave him a $20 bill, as he owed him for some candy. “I got two drinks in a glass,” was his response to a question asked by che court. “And what was in the glass “There might have been laudlaaum in the | minature,” he answered, “for [ went cut and fell in the road asleep. That night I kuow I yot in the guard aouse.” Judge Miller then endeavored to ascer- tain froma witness the size of the glass, but the witness did nis best to evade the questicn. “Oh, it’s the size you see everywhere.” “Por what is that size glass used?’ “Oh, for most anything.” ‘Well, for what?” The witness stammered a little and then anewered, “the that hair oil is scme- times put in.” He showed the height of the glass, satis- fying the court and jury that he had been talking about the ordiaary whisky glass. Then the court made another attempt to learn something of the nature of the liquid pmething like the mixture taken for colds," he tried to explata. What kind of a drink is tha yh, it's a composition and cayenne pep- per. ‘Composition of what?” “Oh, @ composition tike the druggist fur- nishes. I beiteve it's made of powder in some water and red pepper.” “Then it was hot?” “Yes, sir.” Witness said he had been in the city drinking during the evening. He had in- duiged in some beer and whisky, and had a bottle of whisky in his pocket. The whisky he drank In licensed places he knew all about, but what he got in the alleged “speak easy” he could teil nothing. Before leaving the stand witness said he did not want to say anything against the defendant. “I was pressed to come here,” he said. For Family Use. Mr. Tobriner asked that the case be taken from the jury on the evidence pre- sented by the District, but Judge Miller did not grant the notion, and the defend- ant went on the staad. “What did you furnish these witness: he was asked. “Soda aud ginger ale,” ne “In what kind of glass?" “What 1 cali pony veer glasses,” the de- fendant answered. “And they mixed the drinks backwards and forwards.” On cross-examination the defendant said he keeps a candy store on Kock Creek Church road, and there he sells candy to school children.” “Do the soldiers eat candy?” “Yes, sir, t eat cough drops and that kind of candy Defendant was shen asked about the presence of intoxicating liqvors on his premises, and he said he bougat beer by the case and whisky by the half gallon and gailon for family use. “Hog many persons are there in your family?” My wife, child and mother-in-law.” nd do they all drink?” Yes, sir, they take a bottle of beer some- times.” ‘Then he told Mr. Pugh that yesterday was his child's birthday, ana he treated his friends to something strong to drink, opening a bottle of Kimmel in addition to the other drinks. The case was submitted without argu- | ment and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. Tobriner gave notice of a motion for @ new trial. answered. ee ODD FELLOWS’ ANNIVERSARY.

The attendance was quite large—unexpe-tedly so evidently, as the supply of programs was not equal to the demand. Much interest was felt in the appearance of Miss Lucile Saunders, who alternates with Jessie Bart- lett Davis in the role of Alan-a-Dale. Her acting is graceful, and her voice has a rich- ness, especially in the chest tones, which made the gem of the opera, “Oh, Promise Me,” peculiarly delightful as she sang it. She has a way of developing the sentiment of a song that {s the more effective because matters of method seem to take care of themselves without any special effort on her part. This was especially noticeable in her singing of the chimes song in the last «ct, which was interpreted with intense feeling and artistic effect. The audience gave her a welcome whose enthusiasm left no doubt as to its sincerity. Temple, who is alre: well and favorably known in this city, as- sumed the part of Robin Hood, with very good results. Another interesting change was that by which Mr. Holland assumed the role that Mr. McDonald had played. It a significant fact, and which brings strongly to the attention the merits of the Bostonians as an organization, that such substitutions can be made without impairing the pleasure of the performance. In obedience to the earnest request of a large number of people, the management has decided to give “Robin Hood” on Sat- urday night, instead of the “‘Ogallallas.” On Friday night “The Maid of Plymouth” will be given, and that will be the only inter- | Fuption to the “Robin Hood” performances. The Stoddard Lectures.—Tonight at the Academy of Musie Mr. John L Stoddard will give a new lecture in his series. This he calls “From Ceylon to the Himalayas,” and in its presentation he will have an opportunity of presenting some wonderfully attractive views of the scenery and build- ings in India. His description of his trip ard the objects of interest he saw will be graphic and eloquent, and it is believed that this will be one of the most entertain- ing and instructive lectures of the series. The Oratorio of the Creation.—The sale of seats for the Choral Society's producticu of “The Creation” on Wednesday eveaing, April 11, at Convention Hall, began today at Metzerott’s, and notwithstanding th> early opening of the sale the most desira- ble seats are being rapidly taken. Among thcse who have already secured seats are Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs.Stevenson,Mrs. Fuller, the cabinet ladies and many others promi- nent in official and soctal circles. Indeed the audience promises to be the largest as well as the most cultured of the season. The opportunity to hear music of the high- est class at popular prices, and especially to hear artists of such excellence as Miss Lillfan Blauvelt, late the prima donna soprano of the Royal Opera House (Theater de la Monnate) at Brussels; Mr. William H. Rieger of New York, who has few peers on the concert stage, and Dr. B. Merrill Hopkinson of Baltimore, who will sing the baritone role in his usual pleasing man- ner, should not be missed. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, which rendered effi- cient support in “The Messiah,” will again assist the society. 3 —_>—— HAD BEEN TO JAIL, Bat His Trips Were in a Professional Capacity. John Holloran, one of the bailiffs con- nected with the marshal’s office, and who is probably the best known man in the city hall, was a witness in the Police Court in a liquor case tried yesterday afternoon. “Do you know the defendaat, John Mc- Nerhany?” Mr. Shillington asked him, “Yes, sir; I do that,” he replied. “Is he related to you?” “He is, sir.” “In what way?” “I'm his uncle. sir.” John said he knew where his nephew was in business and also told of his (witness’) connection with the marshal's office. “You may take the witness,” was Mr. Shillington’s remark to Mr. Pugh. “Have you ever been to jail?” was Mr. Pugh’s only question. “I have, sir,” was the bailiX’s answer. “That will do.” Then there was a death-like silence, and John started away scratching his head. He walked slow as though his answer to Mr. Pugh’s question was weighing heav- ily upon his mind, and turning, with a broad smile on his face, he broke the si- lence by saying, “But I would like to ex- plain. I have been to jail in my official capacity.” John's explanation caused some amuse- ment, in which Judge Miller could not refrain from participating. - MeNerhany was charged with keeping his bar open after hours. Policemen Du- vall and Hartley were the witnesses against him. They testified that it was 12:40 o'clock when the place was closed, but the defendant claimed that he closed one hour earlier than the time stated by the officers. A number of witnesses corroborated his testimony, and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. ————— Faneral of Alfred Frisby. ‘The funeral of the late Alfred Thomas Frisby of the chemical laboratory, surgeon general's office, took place yesterday morn- ing from St. Paul’s Catholic Church, where requiem services were held over his re- mains. Rev. E. E. Maynadier officiated and at the conclusion of the mass paid a touching and genewous tribute to the mem- ory of the deceased. Rev. Father Mackin was present in the sanctuary, and the body of the church was well filled with the friends of the deceased, desirous of thus paying» their final tribute of respect to his memory. The deceased was the eldest son of Mary and the late Capt. Thomas Frisby, and leaves with his widowed mother two brothers and two sisters, who enjoy the sympathy and respect of a large circle of friends. Conspicuous among that floral tributes were a wreath of lilies from the of- ficial associates of the deceased and a beautiful floral cross from the friends of his mother in the Treasury Department. The remains were placed temporarily in the re- ceiving vault at Congressional cemetery. The pallbearers were John J. McAuliffe, Frank P. Byrne, R. E. O’Brien, Jacob S. Allen, Lawrence J. Mangan and Robert P. Leonard. a Taking Him Home. Last evening a countryman from Vir- ginia, who was under the Influence of liquor, started from the market for his home, and Ezekiel Smith, a respectable colored man, who works about the mufket, started to ride part of the way with him. When the wagon reached the White Lot the intoxicated countryman hardly knew which way to turn, and Smith, who was seen trying to guide him in the right dt rection, was suspected of evil intentions by Policeman Russell, who arrestei kim. Knowing nothing of Smith's character, the officer preferred a charge of vagrancy against him, and Judge Kimball heard the case this morning. Smith accused the officer of having threatened and assaulted him, and said he (the officer) also used profane language. ‘These charges the officer denied, and said that Smith was struck by a citizen, Mr. Reagan, a saloon keeper near the market, vouched for Smith’ character, and said thet Smith was sober when he started from his place with the country- an. mphe charge against Smith was dismissed, >. On the World's Fair, The Cook-Hilyer stereopticon lecture on | the world’s fair, which has been delivered in | the city several times during the winter, was repeated last night before an appreci- | ative audience at the Metropolitan A. M. | E. Church. Prof. Geo. W. Cook of Howard | University, who spent a month at the ex- | position during the summer, delivered the lecture, while Mr. R. T. Hilyer, who ac- mpanied him, threw one hundred and twenty beautifully colored views of the principal scenes in the white city upon the | screen. Starting In at the main entrance, |all of the things of interest in the fair | grounds, as weil as the many curious peo- ple of the Midway Plaisance, were described | and illustrated In order. Messrs. Cook and | Hilyer expect to make several extended | trips during the coming season, with their , machine, to different parts of the country. _ The Meetings Over.

Some of the Best in the Country to Be Here. ‘The local base ball season will be opened this afternoon at Y. M. C. A. Park, 17th and U streets, by the Yale College and Y. M. C. A. nines. It will be the first game of the Yale team since leaving college. Capt. Case takes fifteen men, and the players who will do most of the work are Carter and Trudeau, pitchers; Greenway and George, catchers; Stephenson, first base; Rustin, second; Arbuthnot, third; Quimby, shortstop, and Speer, Case, Reddington and Bigelow in the outfield. The Yale club, eighteen in number, are at the Amo. At the same time an inter-collegiate game will be played at Capital Park, between the Georgetown University team and the nine from Columbia College, New York city. , The Columbia boys have been working for several weeks past in the gymnasium and in the cage. For two weeks they have been coached by Manager Foutz and Daly of the Brooklyn Club. Foutz says he con- siders the team to be made up of substan- tial and reliable men. It is the opinion that the team is far superior to any that Colum- bia has put into the field for years: This is the team that went south: Cummings, catcher; Larned, Stewart and Bradley, itchers; Miller, first base; Kirker, second e; O'Connor, third base; Mattocks, short stop; Hutchinson, Monks and Hildreth, ielders. The Princeton College team will follow the other college clubs to the south, and on Sat- urday will play the Georgetowns at Capital Park. On Tuesday the base ball candidates went to the training table. Four days’ playing on, the diamond enabled Capt. Me- Kenzie to harrow the number of candidates to fourteen, though some’ who will not be at the table at first will still practice with the team and are not to be considered alto- wether out of the race. The fourteen men selected, according to the positions for which they are playing, are as follows: Catcher, Williams; pitchers, Altman, Brad- ley, Hitzrot and Forsythe; first base, Otto; second base, King; short stops, Brooks and ard; third, Gunster; outtielders, W. D. Ward, Trenchard, Payne and McKenzie. The suits for the team arrived yesterday afternoon, They are gray, trimmed with black. The stockings and jerseys are strip- ed white, and the caps are similar to those used last year. The base ball team will ve Princeton for Washington tomorrow afternoon, and returning, will arrive at Princeton Tuesday morning. AMATEUR ATHLETICS. Meeting of the Atlantic Division of the A. A. U.

Family Troubles, Minnie Williams firmly believes that true love does not run smooth, and her mother thinks that unsmooth gailing in the daughter's family should be ventilated in the Police Court. William was arrested some months ago for ill-treating his better half, and Judge Miller punished him, but when William was tried today, and when a policeman told of the former offense, the court remembered that he had already been punished for that. William and Minnie had some words a few days ago, and Mary Butler, a friend of the family, and Minnie’s mother went to a justice of the peace and got a warrant, Mary Butler swearing to it. But Minnie had no complaint to make. and she so stated to Judge Miller this morning. Mary Butler was in court, and although her name appeared as complain- ant, she insisted that Williams’ mother- in-law was responsible for bringing the case into court. Judge Miller told her that she had better let Williams’ affairs alone the next time, and the prisoner was discharged. ——____ Sedgwick Command, U. V. U. The last meeting of Sedgwick Command, No. 8, Unton Veterans’ Union, held at Union Veteran Legion Hall, was unusually interesting. The office of quartermaster was declared vacant, and Chas. Garrett was elected for the remainder of the year. Messrs. Haskell and Sweeny were ap- pointed sergeant major and quartermaster sergeant, respectively, and all these officers entered upon their duties. There was a muster, conducted by the colonel, and it is expected that at the next meeting several more recruits will be present for muster. A movement was started looking to the prepa- ration by the different members of papers de- talling personal experiences war, and the subject was quite extensively discussed and heartily indorsed. It is be- Neved that in this way many matters of history may be brought to light and pre- served either in the archives of the com- A com- mittee on audit, consisting of Messrs. S. A. Johnson, B. F.

Yesterday morning Miss Jane Meade Welch’s subject was that most romantic and thrilling story of English colonization, Virginia and Captain John Smith.” She did her subject full justice. The story of Virginia in the seventeenth century, or the plantation period, was pictured with ac- curacy and vigor. The te-ms of the first charter under which Englishmen colonized inAmertca were stated. Following this came the dropping down the Thames of the three vessels, and the landing of the 105 colonists in Powhatan or James river, and the growth and trials of that first peninsular settlement—a story often told before, but retold yesterday morning with the inspiration that comes from contact with the original sources of information. The lecture closed with a summary of the salient features marking the end of the seventeenth century, or the “plantation period,” namely, the governorship of Francis Nicholson and the founding of William and Mary College. Of the three hundred thousand English colonists in America at the close of the seventeenth century, there were about 70,000 in Vir- ginfa—thus had the little Indian-ravaged community of 1607 grown in one hundred years. Miss Welch gives but one more lecture in Washington this season. On Saturday morning at half-past 11 she will speak on “The Pilgrims and the Purt- tans.” Among those present yesterday morning were Mrs. Cleveland, Miss Morton, | Mrs. R. C.

There was not much money in the crowd at the cock fight in Michael Washington's barn, in the county, near the District line, for when one man in the party said, “I'll bet $1 on the red chicken,” there seemed to be no dollars in the party, aad the man who made the offer kept his money. He probably had it when the police raided the crowd. Judge Miller heard all about this offer this morning when Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny called his attention to a charge against the owner of the barn and three of the spectators. George Eslin, Albert Wall and Joseph Curan were the spectators. Some of Eslin’s birds figured in the con- tests, but he said he had no interest in the affair, as he only loaned them to a man named Leonard, whose name was men- tioned as being one of the parties interested in the gate money. The police sald they had been unable to find the principals. Michael Washington, proprietor of the barn, is a German, and as he had bably been imposed upon by those interested in the main, his fine was made only $20. Es- lin and Wall were fined $50 «ach. Curan is a resident of Baltimore. He was visiting in the neighborhood at the time, and he went over to the barn with his friends, at their invitation. Judge Miller accepted his personal bonds. The police have the names of many more witnesses to the affair, and a number of arrests will probably be made in the next few days. ———-> A’Grand Army Lecture. “The Army Correspondent” will be the subject of a lecture by Col.
