His Second Trip to as the Alleged Pre: Presidential elections are held in Pennsyl- vvania every year according to the claims of Joseph J. Gantz, an insane man from Ta- cony, a suburb of Philadelphia. Last Oc- tober he came here and went to the White House to e possession, and yesterday he return on a similar mission. When he came here in October he made his way to the Executive Mansion and was inside the building before any one noticed him. ‘Then he was arrested by Policeman Heller and taken to the Police Court. There he was wed insane and Agent*Wilson of the Humane Society went with him to Phila- delphia to turn him over to the authorities. But the officers there would not take him, and so Agent Wilson turned him over to a friend, who took him to the home of his brother in Tacony. At that time it was learned that Gantz had been a patient in the Norristown Insane Asylum, and while there he attempted suicide by jumping in the river. When Gantz arrived here yesterday he carried on his arm an old wooden chair. This he took with him to the White House and seated himself upon it near the gate leading from Pennsylvania avenue. He “took from his pocket a Bible, from which lhe read several verses, inserting in the yeading the name of President Cleveland. hen he picked up his chair and started to enter the grounds, but two officers arrest- ed him and took him to the police station. “My name is Joe Gantz,” he said, “and ¥m President of the United States.” During the evening Gantz discussed the Coxey movement and expressed a desire to assist the army. Sanitary Officer Frank has charge of the ease and he will either send the unfor- tumate man home or have him committed to the asylum. ———. Marriage Licenses.

On the 2ist of June, 1892, the wife of Wm. J. Everett purchased sub lot 71, square 555, paying $1,200 in part for the same, out of money handed her for the pur- pose by him.

Everett has filed a bill in equity against Alieanna LL. Everett, his daughter; Ralph Everett, his grandson, and Fannie Mullen, the guar- dian of the latter, praying for the ap- pointment of a trustee to convey the prop-. erty to the complainant, he contending that his deceased wife never claimed it as her own, and that only her sudden death prevented her from conveying it to him. ———__.

Representatives from, the Grand Lodge, encampment and subordinate lodges of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows met at Masonic Hall, Anacostia, at 8 o’clock last evening, and in company with Salem Lodge, No. 22, repaired to the Anacostia Baptist Church, where the organization was ad- dressed by Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. The address was commemorative of the seven- ty-fifth anniversary of the order. After sketching the organization of the first lodge in America, in Baitimore, April 2, 1819, the speaker said: “It was a workingman’s club, organized to improve their social life and condition. It was," said, “organized in a tavern by poor, humble sons of toil.” Mr. Stevenson dwelt eloquently on the principles of the order and the lessons drawn from its history. “But,” he said, “the greatest work you have ever perform- ed for the brotherhood of man, your coun- try and your Father is before you—yea, is near our door. We live at a time which in many respects resembles that which pre- ceded the fall of the Roman empire. The causes of a nation’s downfall are within, not without. It is the sin of the nation that leads to destruction. When we look at our beloved land, in the haste of her citi- zens to be rich, we see it is greed and dis- honesty threatening the very fabric of our Constitution and society. Wealth has been heaped up as never before in the world’s history. There has been a general rise of the condition of the masses, it is true, with this increased wealth, but today, as never before, we see the deepening distress of Prd at one door and a fearful waste of food and money at the next. While hon- esty always gets its reward, men cry, ‘We can’t succeed and be honest in business.’ The dishonesty of the knave is checked on- ly by fear of the law; but, who with a po- litical pull fears the enfo. ent of its lax provisions? Tax dodging is now a fine art, and with income tax threatens to be finer. Gambling is rife. Speculation in the very necessaries of life is not discountenanced, but encouraged by law. Are not these things threatening our life? Have they not, together with rum, destroyed our natural Prosperity? The signs of destruction are a — yeohh md megs iag! end may not come in a subjugation by a foreign foe. The end can be averted. God showed Pha- raoh how to escape the misery of the fam- ine. He has shown us how to escape the rocks of national destruction. Shall we do it? Shall the history of America be a repe- tition of that of France a century ago when her social fabric was rent and overturned and ‘the wrongs of the ages visited on the ‘men and women of that day? We, too, may see revolution—not anarchy—sweeping away vast fortunes, leveling men and dis- tinctions, deluging the nation with disorder and destruction. God grant that we may not, and that our land may never see such an end; but may honesty, virtue, friend- ship,love and truth prevail. May our states- men see the quintessence of statesmanship in the golden rule, and thus save our social system and aid it to grow fairer and strong- er with age. To this work for humanity I call you. Let no vice escape. Rum. gam- bling and corruption of every sort bury for- ever.” —_.——_ A New German Lutheran Church. Yesterday afternoon, at 8 o'clock the Rev. J. E. A. Doermann, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, organized a German Lutheran congregation, which, for the pres- ent, will hold services in the Baptist Chapel, corner of 6th and A streets northeast, every Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock, For some time past Pastor Doermann has been con- sidering the organization of a German Li theran congregation in that section, his tention having been called to the fact that, although there were quite a number of Ger- man Lutherans residing in that locality, there was not a single German congrega- tion. The initial service was well attended, there being present between 150 and 200 people, so that the ultimate success of the enterprise might well be said to be already assured. A full liturgic service will be used, and the pastor, as on yesterday, will con- tinue to chant that portion of the service usually read. Great interest was manifest- ed, and a very substantial offering made. Pastor Doermann preaches both morning and evening in the English language at Grace Lutheran Church, corner 13th and Corcoran streets northwest. =e — Messenger Hoys’ Social. The weekly socials given by the W. C. T. U. to the messenger boys are increasing in interest and in good results.

White of Cleveland, Ohio, has presented the Army and Navy Club with a handsome portrait of Gen. Sherman. It is the work of Mrs. Helen Elizabeth King of Cleveland, and was paint- ed in one of the rooms of the War Depart- ment. Since its completion it has been ex- amined by scores of artists and friends of the great warrior and by all has been pro- nounced a fine work and an rable like- ness. , ne Attentions to the Ph’ lelphia Work- ingme: The Philadelphia workingmen who were here last week were given an informal re- ception by Representative Harmer of the fifth Pennsylvania congressional district late in the afternoon.

The Gathering at Rechabites’ Hall on Saturday Night. ‘There were more of the curious than there were of the commonwealers at the mass meeting held in Rechabites’ Hall Saturday evening, under the auspices of Citizen Red- stone and his associates, who are holding up the Washington end of the Coxey crusade, and the approval that was manifested in the utterances of the several speakers was Father too vociferous to be inspired by de- yout admiration of the principles enunciated. The crowd was extremely good-natured and more inclined to be pleasantly receptive of the declarations of the speakers than the gathering of the preceding Saturday night, when Mrs. Diggs was made the target of a volley of indignant denials from wrought-up old soliiers for declaring that the war was @ failure. Every one of the ninety-seven chairs was occupied, and humanity fringed the side walls and stood up in the rear, after lots of it had been unable to squeeze re Citizen Redstone called the meet- Some Speeches Made. Mr. A. M. Cook was requested to preside, but was not present, and the honor devolved upon Mr, J. R. Mahoney. He made a very pleasant little address, in which he regarded the Coxey movement from a humanitarian standpoint and hoped that it would have the effect of directing the efforts of the national legislature toward relieving the distress of the thousands of persons all over the Union whose necessities it represented and in whose behalf it was coming to Washington to appeal. He pleaded for a sympathetic reception for the army, with lots of sub- stance in it in the shape of help, and ex- horted his hearers to see that it was met with bread instead of bayonets. Mrs. Anna L. Diggs, the co-laborer of Mrs. Lease in the stump-filled field of Kan- Sas politics, also spoke. She eloquently Portrayed the principles for which Gen. Coxey and his companions were journeying so fearlessly onward, and was followed by “Col.” T. P. Roberts of Tennessee, whose motto is the heritage of Patrick Henry, “Give me liberty or give me death.” He said Congress would not decide the question which Coxey and the millions he represents would put to it, but that the people them- selves would, and paid vigorous attention to arrest of Capt. Primrose and his men, taking occasion to refer to Judge Kimball as a shoemaker judge. i Committees Appointed. Ex-Congressman Wise and Mrs. Clara Colby made brief addresses, and the ap- pointment of committees was taken up, and resulted in that on public comfort being formed of George O. Cook, William Mc- Gann, P. J. White, J. Dewitt, Mrs. Groff, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Maltby, P. J. Dougherty, Mrs. Woodward, Thomas H. Godney, Mr. and Mrs. Tragena, Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Madigan; on reception and demonstration, of G. M. Bell, J. J. Baring, Col. Roberts, R. J. Bell, Morris J. Colbert, A. A. Reagan, L. P. White and Thomas F. Fisher; on permit and location, of T. J. Mahoney, Mrs. Lockwood, Mrs. Clara Colby and George O. Cook, and on labor organizations, of C. Coleman, Milford Spaun and 8. Maltby. After Mr. Cook had been nominated for the public comfort committee he announted out loud that he would pay for the rent of the ground necessary to accommodate the Coxey encampment in Washington, and then told the secretary, in a whisper, to cross his name off the committee because he couldn't pay for a lot. The only other trouble experienced in forming the com- mittees was when some irreverent wag nominated and the meeting selected a man who had been dead for two years. A Needless Scare. Last night some one who had probably been frightened by the immensity of the gathering at Coxey headquarters the night before ran into police headquarters and an- nounced that 300 Coxey men were encamped in the yards of the Richmond and Danville railroad on Maryland avenue. No attention was paid to the statement, but it was dis- covered later to have been founded upon the fact that three weary fishermen, who had been breaking the Sabbath day, had sought the seclusion of the yards until darkness fell, so that they would not shock the sensibilities of Christian citizens by car- rying a lot of mud catfish through the city thoroughfares in sacred Sunday daylight. —_———~. —_ Rev. Mr. Harrison, the Boy Preacher. The Rev. Thomas Harrison, the “boy preacher,” officiated at the evening service at the Metropolitan M. E. Church, 4 1-2 and C streets, last evening. The services were in the nature of a revival meeting, and the church was crowded, a large number of conversions being made. A young’ people’s meeting preceded the reg- ular services, at which Mr. Harrison spoke briefly, forty rising for prayers. Mr. Harrison will not preach here this evening, is has been announced, but will return to Trenton, N. J., where he is conducting a very successful revival. He will probably, after his work is finished in New Jersey, come to this city and enter upon a regular series of meetings. ——__ Capt. Derby’s Lecture. ‘Capt. George McC. Derby, assistant to the Engineer Commissioner of the District, will give an address at the Columbian Uni- versity lecture hall, 15th and H streets, at 8 o'clock this evening, on “Sewage Disposal in the District of Columbia.” The address is delivered at the solicitation of the Sani- tary League, and every citizen is invited. Capt=- Derby will give an explanation of the needs of the city, and the way the plans prepared by the’ sewer commission pro- poses to meet them. . ee ; Death of Mr. James G. Carroll. After a short illness, Mr. James G. Carroll, an old resident of Washington, died on Saturday at his residence, 480 F street southwest, aged sixty-five years. The deceased served nine successive terms as a member of the old common council, was a member of the Knights of Pythias, and engaged actively in business for over forty years. The funeral took place at 2 o'clock this afternoon, interment being at Congressional Cemetery. > In Behalf of Temperance. A meeting in the interest of temperance was held last evening at Rechabite Hall, under the auspices of the Perseverance Chapter of the Order of Good Templars. The speaker of the evening was Mrs. Anna L. Diggs of Kansas, wha has of late mani- fested a great interest in the Coxey move- ment. Mrs. Diggs spoke feelingly agatnst the wine cup, and made a visible impres- sion upon her hearers. The meeting was presided over by Mr. J. R. Mahoney, high treasurer of the order of Rechabites of the United States. In addi- tion to the above address several other speakers gave short talks, and there was singing by the audience. —_—— Tt ‘s son, Saif, and many Zanzibar Arabs were killed recently by the Belgians in a fight, which took place in the upper Congo district. pi BRIGHT’S DISEASE RAISED FROM A WEAK AND LOW CONDITION BY HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
