June weddirgs, while perhaps not as numerous as usual, are lacking none of the essential points to make them particularly interesting to society in general. The en- gagement of Miss Louise Grosvenor, daugh- ter of Representative Grosvenor of Ohio, to Mg. Philip Chapman Leete of Portsmouth, Ohio, has lately been announced to their Washington friends, and the wedding, for which the preparations are now going on, is set for the lest week in June. The cere- mony will take place at the home of the bride’s parents, at Athens, Ohio, and will be a high noon event. Miss Charl Thomp- son of Portsmouth, daughter of ex-Repre- sentative Thompson, will be the maid of bonor. The groom-elect is —— among the young business men of his section, and the bride, as all her friends here well know, is a charming and interesting young lady. Mr. and Mrs. Whittemore and Miss Aline Wilcox Wilt sail tomorrow for Europe. The announcement of the engagement of Mrs. L. H. Ball to Mr, John S. Webb, made in one of the papers, is denied by the parties.

There is to be a meeting of the citizens called to take formal and united action on the Prospect avenue extension question. Many citizens regard the step that has been taken Dy the college, in stopping the work, as one taken without any show of right, and they now intend to take formidable measures to protect their rights, which they regard as being trampled upon. Mr. Geo. W. King, one of those who have been working hardest for the improvement, said this morning: “Forbearance has ceased to be a virtue, and I now intend to do my utmost, individually, and as a member of the Citizens’ Association, to defeat the un- grounded objections of the college.” Mr. W. A. Cunningham says the action of the college in the matter is an outrage on the community. Mr. R. A. Casilear, a property holder in the section affected, states that on account of the miserable condition of street and the other incon- veniences in thereto his rents have been much affected. Most all of those who move attribute the change to the impass- able condition of the street. Rev, Truett Injared. A carriage containing the Rev. George Truett, son-in-law of the late Gilbert Van- derwerken, and late pastor of the Baptist Church at Lynchburg, Va., met with an actident yesterday that has left him with @ broken afm and bruised body. Mr. Tru- ett was in town with a little relative, and vben the entrance to the Aqueduct bridge was reached the horse he was driving be- came frightened and dashed away madiy up the Canal road. When about 100 yards up the road the team collided with one ccming in the opposite direction. A whole- ssle smashup was the result. Mr. Truett was the only one injured. His lUtue companion, a child, though thrown some distance, escaped without a scratch. Dr. Rich dressed the arm of the injured minister. Mr. Truett resides at “Falls Grove,” Alexandria county, the beautiful home of the Vanderwerkens, which, through the death of his mother-in-law last week, has come into the possession of his wife. Mr. Truett arrived in Washington last Wednesday from Dallas, Tex., where he was attending the Baptist convention. He was summoned home by telegraph. His escape yesterday from fatal injury is led as miraculous, as he was caught | in an almost inextricable position. Notes. The members of Georgetown Patriarchie, No. 42, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, anticipate a large and successful May re- ception at Bethel Hall on next Tuesday evening, The Washington Patriarchie, No. 18, and the Patriarchie Drum Corps, with the members of the order, will meet at their 2Sth street hall on the evening of the reception at 7 o'clock. There the line will fcrm and a parade be made of the principal streets of the town. The office of the Baltimore and Cumber- land Railway Compary will be removed on Monday next from Hancock, on the canal, to Clearspring, at which point work will be begun on the road about the first of the month. The change has been made, it is said, to facilitate operations. —— LUTHERAN MISSION BOARDs. Second Day of the Twenty-Fifth An- niversary Celebration.
