On Saturday evening Mr. Walter Brown, residing on the Ridge road, opposite Bat- tery Parrott, was attracted by loud cries for help comirg from the direction of the lane to the South cf his home. He hastily |'ran to render assistarce to the distressed | one, It was some time before he could lo- cate the voice, yet he knew it was that of a | Woman. Finally, after stopping and list- ening intently for a few moments, he dis- covered it came from a deep well in the rear of what is known as the Donaldson | House. Mr. Brown knowing the well had a depth of sixty feet and fifteen feet of water, asked of the person therein if she could hold out until assistarce was obtained, as he would be unable to rescue her alone. On receiving a favorable answer, he hur- ried off and soon returned with men and ropes. A dripring form was brought to the surface, and recognized as that of Miss | Killian, the daughter of Mr. John Killian, | the butcher, who formerly resided near | the spot. Miss Killian is said to have at- | tempted suicide. She could not have fallen | in the well accidentally, as there was a , high protecting fence about it. On getting | to the bottom, however, she regretted her | rashness and cried loudly for help. The act | Was prompted, it is said, by the mother or | father of the girl insisting upon her mar- rying some man she did not love or care for. probably premeditated, as it The act was is said while walking in the direction of the well she met an acquaintance, a small boy, and got rid of him by sending him to some | distant store to buy cakes. Miss Killian | had kept herseif from drowning by clinging to the rough projecting stones, with which | the well is walled. She received many bruises, though not of a serious nature. A Church Revival. A fruitful revival is in progress at the Tenleytown Baptist Church. Preaching services are held every evening. Yesterday the membership of the church was increased by eleven new members. The question of | putting in a new baptistry is being consid- | ered now. Heretofore all baptisms in the | white Baptist churches west of Rock creek \-has been done at the Gay street house of worship. Children’s day at the Tenley- town Church is being looked forward to with much pleasure by the young members of the congregation. | A Colored Thief's Career Ended. Richard McCauley, colored, is sixteen | years old, but he has had the experience Tot enjeyed by many old and hardened crimirals, Since he came to this city from Manassas two years ago has robbed fully a dozen persons, and now he is on a fair road to the penitentiary. Although he had committed several petty thefts he did hot attract much attention until a few months ago, when he attempted a job of | | safe breaking at the real estate office of | Atwell & Coffee, on East Capitol street. | ‘There he appeared and told a sad story of his being an orphan, and asked that he be permitted to sleep in the office. He agreed to take care of the place, and the real estate dealers were willing to feedd him and otherwise provide for him, if he | proved worthy of their support. Richard was only there a short while before he | broke the safe and attempted to open the dcor and carry off what valuables he could get. He then disappeared, and in the same way robbed several other citizens of gold watches, money and other valuables. Fin- ally he was arrested ard sent to the reform school, but he sdon escaped from there and went away. He visited his old home in Virginia and then went to New York. But these places did not suit him, and he returned here to |renew operations. The police heard from |him several times, but it was not until | Saturday that he was captured. This time | he was arrested at the house of Mr. Fred- erick Matterson, No. 3319 U street. He went there with his usual story, and w given a home. In addition to the home was to have been paid, but instead of wait- ing for pay day he went into Mr. Matter- son's room and helped himself to $37.50 and a gold ring, ‘and he also took $12.38 belong- ing to Mr. Matterson’s mother. He was | found hiding under the bed, and Mr. Matter- son held him until the arrival of Officer Bradley. He was given a hearing in the Police Court today, and the grand jury will now investigate the case. Fell in the Canal. While attempting to cross one of the canal gates near 29th street Saturday night James Bennett slipped and fell into the water. The canal wails at this point are steep and smooth, and the man was crly rescued after considerable difficulty. He managed to keep his head above the sur- | face of the water until Officer Passeno came up, attracted by his cries. | Notes. | The fair last Friday at 3341 P street, | which yielded $20 for the St. Vincent Asy- lum orphans, was managed by Miss Louise | | Lipscomb, Misses Mamie and Ida Hill, Misses Mamie and Annie Sommerville and | | Misses Ethel and Rhoda Pyles, These lit- | | tle patrons of charity range from eight to twelve yeers of age. Jacob Clark and E. B. Cottrell, trustees, have sold to L. W. Walker for $391 lot 49, | | in Clark's sub of White Haven. Little Clifton Crouch had the fore part | of one of his feet crushed on Saturday | evening by having a heavy sewer trap ‘all | upon it while attempting to get a base ball | from a sewer. The Georgetown Catholic Union mem- bers have decided to keep their old quarters | at the corner of 32d and N streets, a new lease of four years having been secured. Seventy new members were yesterday added to the Sodality Society of Trinity Catholic Church, with the usual ceremony. Father McGoldrick made the address of the occasion. Steps have been taken for the erection of a stone bridge over the Potomac river near Williamsport. | | | | | ALBAUGH’ OPERA HOUSE. The Golden Gateway and the Hand- somely Decorated Lobby. When Albaugh’s Grand Opera House throws open its doors this evening, for the | first time under the management of Mr. | Edward H. Allen, the patrons will be treated to a glittering surprise. They will \enter by way of a veritable golden gate- | way, leading directly from 1424 Pennsyl- vania avenue to the main floor of the theater. | ‘The outer entrance is an imposing and attractive affair of mosaic and stereo re- Mef work, copied after the famous doorway |to the transportation building at the | world’s fair. The lower portion is com- | posed of decorated tiling, and above are | four arches set with incandescent electric | lamps, which are surmounted by an over- hanging top, gold leaf without limit having been used on the whole. Inside the door- way, guarded by swinging plate glass doors, is the outer lobby, forty feet in length, the walls being a delicate pink shade of or- | Ramental stucco work, with running de- signs of gold and electric lights in pro- | fusion.
