The case of George C. Hale, charged with forging the name of Congressman Lock- ‘Wood, to an order for a number of spublic documents, and John Y. Jameson for ut- tering an alleged forged order, was partly heard in the Police Court yesterday and tontinued until today to hear Congress- man Lockwood's testimony. The only proof offered was to the effect that Hale said he had authority to sign the name to the or- der. When the case was called today the Congressman did not appear ir. court. Mr. Mullowney said he woul ask for an attachment for him, but he was not certain that the missing witness had been legally summoned. Mr. Lockwood, he said, was the most In- terested person in the case and as he did not appear the charges against the young men were nolle prossed, Mr. Mullowney saying the charge might be revived at any time if Mr. Lockwood so desired. —_-_—->——_ Commodore Melville’s Talk. An appreciative audience of men filled the brotherhood parlor of the Western Pres- byterian Church last evening as guests of the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, to hear Commodore Geo. W. Melville, U.S.A., Fecite the incidents of the ill-fated Jeanette @xpedition. Rapidly and graphically the audience was carried through the years of untold suffering. Frequently the speaker was interrupted by appreciative applause @t some modestly related incident of brav- ery. The story of the unprecedented suc- cess, untiring energy and sad death of de Long and his followers in the arctic re- gions was heard with interest. An en- thusiastic audience gathered around the Tugged rescuer of the bodies of his late companions at the close of the informal narrative. ——___. The Cattle Market.

THE HORSESHOERS Routine Business Only Transacted at the Convention's Session Today. Even This Moved Along Slowly—Com- mittees Appointed—The Ball Last Night —Lecal Committees. This has been a dull day at the horse shoers’ convention. There was fairly full attendance of delegates, but the weather had a depressing influence and the machine moved slowly. Only the very driest of rou- tine was put through. This was confined to the hearing of reports from the committees which were appointed at last evening's ses- sion. One of the prominent officers of the international union told a reporter for The Star that if the convention worked no faster than at present, they would not fin- ish the business for which they had assem- bled within a week. He thought that what Daniel C. Hartley. business had been transacted would be ac- ceptable to the order, but many of the del- egates were new men and liked to talk. The way they debated simple questions, said this officer, “was enough to make the tariff talkers green with envy.” Committees Appointed. After The Star’s report closed yesterday committees were appointed as follows: Credentials—Dever, Bozeley and Kenehan. Finance—O'Neill, Calvert and Massey. Au- diting—Kirwin, Better, Thomas Murphy, McCormick, Moore and Reinne. Law— Gleason, Henderson, Shaw, Patrick phy and Harris. Grievances—John O'Neil, Rohinan, Kenise, Quinlan and Rutledge. Press—Kenehan, Dumphy, McNeal, Bren- nan and Ford. Charter—Diamond, Clayton, MecGir and Shaw. Resolutions — Ferry, Shannon, May, Guard and John P. Collins. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows: President, Alexander Dever, Phila- delphia, (re-elected); secretary-treasurer, Rhodey Kenehan (re-elected; first vice president, Charles P. Rohlman, Detroit, Mich.; second vice president, John P. Col- lins, Washington; third vice president, W. M. King, Syracuse, N. Y. The officers were installed by Delegate Farry, after which a rising vote of thanks was given to the old officers. The Ball Last Night. A brilliant ball was given at Typo- graphical Temple last night under the au- spices of Washington Union, No. 17, in honor of the grand officers and delegates. It was a social and esthetic success. This evening the delegates will attend a ban- quet, to be given in their honor by Mr. Jos. Door, one of Washington's boss horse- shoers, at his residence. The success of the social end of the con- vention has been due to the untiring and intelligent energy of the Washington Horse Shoers’ Union, No. 17, and the manage- Secretary Schondau. ment of their part of the program has been carried out by the following committees: Reception—Daniel C. Hartley, chairman; Frank Fainter, B. Feeney, M. Sheehan, E. Connors, M. Collins, Theo. Schondau, Chas. Connors and James Meyers. Entertainment—James Fitzgerald, chair- man; J. W. P. Collins, B. J.

The decrease for the week ended on Saturday, as compared with the preceding week, amount- ed to six per cent. This improvement was all along the line, but more especially shown in the material fall in deaths from acute lung diseases. Mortality among chil- dren ran down to about two-thirds only of the average rate. As yet no signs of the usual annual visitation from summer ail- ments have made their appearance. Spo- radic cases of diphtheria still occur, most- ly in the outlying districts, and of those re- Forted last week nearly ‘all were colored persons. But two cases of scarlet fever were reported, with no death. No epidemic diseases have manifested themselves any- where. The contagious diseases are quite wholly in abeyance, with a total absence of malarial troubles in fatal form. Number of deaths, 92; white, 42; colored, 50. Death rate per 1,000 per annum: White, 11.2; colored, 28.8. Total population, 16.8. Twenty-one were under five years of age, sixteen were under one year old, and seven- teen over sixty years. Twenty-seven of the deaths occurred in hospitals and public in- stitutions. The deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotic, 10; constitutional, 22; local, 40; de- velopmental, 11; violence, 9. The principal causes of death were: Diph- theria, 2; consumption, 18; diarrhoeal, 4; typhoid fever, 1; pneumonia, 7; congestion of the lungs, 1; kidney diseases, 7; cancers, “Births reported: 27 white males, 18 white females, 21 colored males, 19 colored females. Marriages reported: 26 white, 17 colored. Still-births reported: 2 white, 11 colored. ——_——— Divorces Asked For, Today Virginia Brooks filed a petition for a divorce from Charles W. Brooks. They were married here, she alleges, by the Rev. Dr. Ellyson, at 1535 Sth street northwest, although the year js not given. No issue, she states, resuited from the union, and she claims that being deserted by her husband, and having lost all affec- tion for him because of his treatment, she knows of no reason why she should longer remain his wife. She asks that she be al- lowed to resume her maiden name of Barry. Alexander A. Russell has tiled a petition for a divorce from Clara Russell, He states | that they were married here February 2), 1892, by the Rev. Mr. Weightman,her name then being Donaldson. They have had no children, and he alleges that very shortly after the marriage Mrs. Russell became ad- dicted to the use of intoxicants to such an extent as to utterly disquality her for the discharge of wifely duties; that she has assaulted him, and that at one time he {found her in a house of unsavory reputa- tion, . | { —_—_—_. Kit Carson Post’s Campfire. At a campfire to be given by Kit Carson Pest, No. 2, this evening, at which Morris Post, No. 19, are the invited guests, Chas. F.

Levi Jackson,a hard-working colored man, teok a day off yesterday to follow a band out to Harmony cemetery, and when he re- turned to the city he got drunk. It was after 2 o'clock this morning when Pelice- man Spear saw him on his way home. Levi felt so tired that he could not walk straight, but he was quiet and orderly. The police- man directed Levi to go home and he went in the direction of his sleeping place. But before he got there he sat on a front door step to rest himself. He was not permitted to remain there very long, however, for the policeman had followed him, and his order to “move on" was repeated. . Levi was then escorted to his home, and the officer charged that while there he abused a member of his own family. The prisoner denied that he was disorderly, and said he was a hard-working man. “He was sent to jail for sixty days for stealin; added the officer. “That's not so,” said Jackson, who thought the officer should be made to sub- stantiate the truth of his charge. “I have been sent to jail for fighting,” he add- ed, “but even that was a long time ago.” Judge Kimball fined Jackson $2 or six days. This same funeral procession got John Mercer, colored, in trouble. John was lead- ing the crowd in front of the band, and on the return trip from the cemetery he was so disorderly in Eckington that Policeman Parrish arrested him. John was unable to explain matters to the court, and the usual fine, $5 or fifteen days, was imposed. Thomas Fletcher and Charles Wickers, young colored men who have musical as- Pirations, were also in the crowd following the band. They were engaged in pushing others in the crowd, creating so much dis- order that Officer Birkight arrested them. Judge Kimball fined them $5 each. —_— AMUSEMENTS, Albaugh's.—It was a remarkable and a Jolly combination of forces, this perform- ance of the juvenile “Pirates of Penzance” in conjunction with the more experienced players of the Strakosch company at Al- baugh’s last night. The performance was for the benefit of the Homeopathic Hospital, and, as usual, the little folk did themselves proud. The test of comparison was a rather severe one, but it was met with the utmost ease. The cast of the juveniles was as follows: Pirate King, Arthur Clifton Samuel, Louls Fiske; Frederic, Edward Eynon; Major-General, George Welsh; Ser- geant of Police, Frank Shipe: bel, Emma Heinrich: uth, Louise Child: te, Elea- nor Adams; Edith, Marie Howe; Isabel, Jewel Hay. This was the original cast, with the exception of Marie Howe, who took the part of Edith at short notice, on account of the illness of Miss Sutton. All the little ones did well, and the principals were rewarded with encores and flowers. In the regular company the spirited act- ing and good singing of Fred. Huntley as Frederick, George Broderick as the Pirate King, and the excellent work of Miss Laura Millard as Mabel, and Miss Alice Hosmer as Ruth, deserve especial mention. The performance will be repeated on Saturday @fternoon, the big people singing the first act, and the youngsters the second. Miss Mamie Gilroy, who has been confined to her room in the Hotel Randall by illness since Sunday, has entirely recovered, and will positively appear in the “Pirates of Penance” at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House tonight. Among other features, Miss Gil- Toy, who plays the part of Kate, will in- troduce her famous song, “Wouldn't You Like to Fondle Little Baby? Academy of Music.—Another fine per- formance of a great opera rewarded those who visited the Academy of Music last night. “Traviata” was, performed with the spirit and musical finish which characterize the work of the Hinrichs Company as a habitual matter, It is a melancholy theme, but it is even more beautiful as a musical theme than it is as a purely Iiterary one. The performance of Guille once more brought the audience to a pitch of admira- tion that amounted to enthusiasm, and Madame Van Cantereo was artistic and graceful, as usual. The other members sus- tained the brilliant records which they have made for themselves during this remarkable engagement. ew National Theater.—Miss Marlowe's Rosalind, in “As You e It,” has been so extensively commented upon in these col- umne during her former engagements here that there is no need of special reference to her performance of that character at the New National Theater last night. And yet there was, perhaps, a more kindly feel- ing for the graceful actress among the audience, for it had been annouaced that she was to marry Mr, Kobert ‘aber, her former leading man, at the conclusion of her season's work, and an engaged girl ig always an object of interest. She played the part with the same skill that she always does and her support was very good. Mr. Hale made a manly and effective Orlando, Henry Jewett was good as Jacques, as were also H. A. Weaver, sr., as Adam, J. R. Armory as Touchstone and Wm. Boag as William. Miss Eugenia Woodward made a graceful Celia and Kitty Wilson was a sprightly Audrey. The audience was en- thusiastic in its applause. Georgetown Students’ Concert.—The Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs of Georgetown University gave a signally successful, con- cert last night at Metzerott Hall.’ The merit of the music, the popularity of the boys and the prestige of the patronage un- der which the concert was given insured a large audience, and this was realized. The hall was decorated with the college colors and the friends of the boys found in their work much to applaud. The program wa: combination of blue and gray colors and was replete with selections of the college type. Owing to the fact that a good many tickets were bought which were not used because of the inclement night, and also for the reason of the success of the enter- tainment, the program will be repeated tonight .in Gaston Memorial Hall at the university. “Pinafore Next Week.—The fourth week of the summer opera season commences at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House next Mon- day night, with a grand production of the tuneful, melodious “Pinafore,” from the pen of Gilbert and Sullivan. During pre- vious summer seasons in Washington many requests were received by the management for a revival of this composition, but Mr. Strakosch is the first to give any attention to these, and in consequence, large houses during the coming week should result in return for his prompt and ready recogni- tion of these numerous requests. A large amount of money has been expended in the way of new and beautiful scenery and costumes. The scenery is of a nautical character, and the scenic artists were lay- ish in the artistic use of paint and canvas, The costumes have been especially ordered from New York. In fact, expense has rot been considered in presenting this melodi- ous opera, as Mr. Strakosch intends to make this production #s magnificent a one as “Pinafore” ever received in the hands of any opera company. A largely increased orchestre and chorus will be a noticeable feature. An interesting novalty will be a cutlass drill by sailors from the United States navy. The cast will be a ene. strong one, a new member ving been especially engaged, in the per- son of Mr. Willett Semon, Mr. Semon will sing the role of Capt. Corcoran, and his fine baritone voice is peculiarly adapted to that part. Miss Laura Millard will. cp- pear Josephine; Miss Mamie Gilroy, Washington's favorite, as Hebe; Charles A. Bigelow, Sir Joseph, and George H. Broderick, as Dick Deadeye. The Boat- swain and Boatswain's Mate will be taken by J. K. Adams and Mr. Grimke. Mis: Alice Hosmer will sing the role of Butter- cup, and Fred. Huntley that of Ralph. Well-filled houses may be predicted by ‘he already large sale of seats. Seats are now on sale at the box office. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The London Theater Specialty Company will be the at- traction at the Lyceum next week. The organization is composed of a number of well-known variety artists, among whom are Lew Hawkins, Johnny Carroll, the Belle Sisters, Ballinger and Lyman, the Acme Four, Garnela Brothers and Dr. and Eva Eddy, spiritualistic mediums. Manager Eugene Kernan's benefit, which is announced for Monday evening, June 4, promises to be one of the prominent events of the season. An extravagant program is now being arranged, which will embrace a number of Washington's most talented amateurs, as well as many professional artists. The sale of reserved seats will open Monday at the Lyceum box office, School Entertainment. The entertainment by the pupils of the Besiness High School at the hall of the Central School last evening, the complete program of which appeared in yesterday's Star, proved a most artistic success. The | debate between four young ladies of the first year class on the proposition that the cveducation of the sexes is more conducive to the best interests of the country than their separate education was decided in favor of the negative. —_ $1.25 to Baltimore Via the B. and O.

On same days tickets will also be sold from Baltimore to Washington at same Tate.—Adv* | and C. R. W A BIG TELESCOPE Made in This City for the Observatory of the Denver University. With the Exception of the Lick In- strument, the Largest West of the Allegheny Mountains. Prof. Herbert A. Howe, the astronomer of the Chamberlain observatory, at the University of Denver, is now in Washing- ton, superintending the shipment to that institution of a big telescope. The instru- rent was constructed here, and persons who have passed recently along 2d street southwest just below the point where it loses itself in Maryland avenue have seen its huge cylindrical form sus- pended, Itke Mahomet’s coffin, between heaven and earth, in the side yard of a mcdest two-story double brick bullding, and wondered what it was. For several months Mr. George N. Saegmuller, the Proprietor of the establishment, and the scientific workers in his employ have been engaged in the construction of this tele- scope, which is considered one of the most complete in existence. Prof. Howe showed @ pardonable pride when talking to a Star reporter of his pet that is to be. “This is one of the finest telescopes that has ever been manufactured,” said he, “and with the exception of the Lick observatory instrument it will be the largest west of the Allegheny mountains until the great Yerkes telescope tu be erected at Chicago is finished. The lenses for the instrument before you were made by Alvin Clark of Cambridge. They ar2 twenty-one inches and a half in diameter, and when placed in position will give an aperture of a lit- tle over twenty inches. The telescope itself is twenty-five feet lorg, and is made of steel tubing, which is only one-sixteenth of an inch thick at the eye end. It has been designed for visual, photographic and spectroscopic work, and its mechanism is simply short of wonderful.” The professor and Mr. Saegmuller ex- plained the clockwork and the various in- genious appliances by which the great tube will be as easily handled as the reporter could handle his lead pencil, and indicated their various objects. One great improve- ment which this instrument has over others is a dial of intricate workmanship but sim- ple action. Heretofore, in order to find a star or planet which it was degired to ex- amine the observer would take his position at the eyepiece of the telescope and then direct an assistant below to turn the in- strument until the star came within the field of the lens. With the dial mentioned, however, it will be possible to turn the telescope so as to cover any star that may be desired by taking the nautical almanac and making the points on the dial agree with the figures of the inclination of the star which the almanac contains. In other words, the telescope may be pointed at any object in the heavens in less than a minute, and the observer may then go up and take his seat and pursue his in- vestigations without delay. The instrument which Mr, Saegmuller has completed cost $10,000, and the lenses $11,000. Of course, there are a number of delicate instruments which will accompany the greater one, and among them is the micrometer, an instru- ment that is used for measuring all celestial distances. The marvelous delicacy of this machine may be imagined when it is known that it will measure the fifty-thou- sandth part of an inch. The entire weight of the telescope will be, including its mov- ing parts at the base, about 25,000 pounds, or less than half as much as any similar instrument of its size now in use. Prof. Howe is hopeful of achieving excellent re- sults with his prize. “The atmosphere of Colorado is particu- larly good for telescopic work,” he re- marked, “‘and the base of this instrument, when it is placed in position, will be just 5,400 feet above the level of the sea. The observatory is about a mile and a half southeast of Denver, and during the sum- mer our winds are almost invariably from that quarter, and will thus blow the smoke of the city in a direction opposite to us. In photographic work, particularly, we should be able to accomplish our share to- ward the advancement of that branch of astronomical research.” Prof. Howe will carry the lenses, which are packed up in two square leather boxes, out west with him in a Pullman car. They are too precious to be intrusted to an ex- press company, because any rough usage would smash them into smithereens, A_nine-inch equatorial telescope is being made by Mr, Saegmuller for one of the big German observatories. —_ BOYLE DEAD. A. F. Writer and Teacher of the Art of Phonography. Augustus French Boyle died yesterday afternoon, at his residence, 131 Jefferson street, Anacostia, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. He was born in Plymouth England, on February 20, 1818, at a suburb known as Stone House, where the Royal Naval Hospital, of which his father was surgeon in cherge, was located. Mr. Boyle came to America in the year 1837 after the death of his father, which occurred in that year, He taught French in various places in the western part of New York state and Canada. While thus employed the idea of constructing a phonographic alphabet be- came the absorbing thought of his mind. In the year 1844 he became associated with Mr. Stephen Pearl Andrews of Ro: * and afterward their “Phonographic Reader,” in perfected form, were issued. In the year 1845 they established in bos- ton a weekly paper in the new phonetic print, called the “Anglo-Saxon.” In the year 1846 Andrews and Boyle {ssued “The American Phonographic Journal,’ the earli- est American shorthand periodical. In ad- dition to Mr. Boyle’s work as an author he Was a regular writer for many journals, in- cluding the New York Commerclal and a publication known as the “Unit. Mr. Boyle retained his mental faculties unimpaired up to the moment of his death, though his physical frame was reduced almost to a shadow by his extreme suffer- ing. His wife, a son and daughter survive him. The son, Mr. Acland Boyle, is bastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, New York city. The daughter, Mrs. Anna Ttoyle Moore, is at Somerville, Mass, Until an answer to the telegrams that have been sent them, announcing the death of their father, hi nm received, the funeral ar- rangements will not be concluded. —_——~__ The Sawyer Drum Corps. Last evening a concert was given by the Philetus Sawyer Fife and Drum Corps, at the Carroll Institute Hall, for the benefit of that organization. The corps was organ- ized about two months ago and consists of about thirty members, ranging from eight to fourteen years old, under the manage- ment of Mr. C. R. Waldecker of the Busi- ress High School. An it.teresting program was rendered, which was enjoyed by the eudience. The corps was assisted by Misses Helena Roeser, Anniewill Robertson, Pa- tlence and Bertha Moir, Isabel Du Bois and Emma A. Hazard, and Messrs. Charles S. Shreve, F.

Burch, the re- tiring general secretary of the colored Young Men's Christian Association of the District, at the Yocng Men’s Christian Asso- ciation building on 11th street last evening. Every department of the association was represented, and a goodly number of ladies were present. Remarks complimentary to Dr. Burch for the good he had accomplished in the work, and regretting his departure and wishing him Godspeed in his new rela- tion to the association, were made by Pres- ident J. H. Meriwether and Messrs. R. 8. Smith, M. M. Smith, Mrs. Prof. Bai , B. F. Petway, R. K. Washington, L. C. Bailey, Mrs. J. H. Meriwether, J. Langhorn and F. G. Barbadoes. Mr. E. R. Russell then presented the re- tiring secretary with a box of fine Landker- chiefs as a token of esteem. Dr. Burch responded in a feeling and happy mvnner to the sentinients expressed. He was pre- sented by the president with a letter of in- structions and an engrossed copy of resolu- tions of thanks. Refreshments were served, and the meeting dispersed by singing “God Be With You Till We Meet Again.” Dr. Burch has accepted the general field solicitorship for the association.

R. bill 8724 provides for the following extension: Beginning at the present terminus of Its road.at the in- tersection of H street northeast and 15th street east, thence along the Bladensburg road to the dividing line between the Dis- trict of Columbia and the state of Mary- land, so that the outer rail shall not be more than five feet from the eastern boundary of sald Bladensburg road; and beginning aleo at the intersection of said H street north- east and 12th street east, thence along said 12th street east and 12th street extended to the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad; and beginning also at the said present terminus of its road at the intersection of H street northeast and 15th street cast, thence along the Benning road to Benning Station, with authority to construct a tres- tle bridge across the Eastern branch. ——_— SOME FORTY MEN Known as the Industrial Army From Boston Arrive Her The much-heralded “industrial army” from Boston, known as Fitzgerald's con- tingent, reached Washington yesterday afternoon forty-three strong, and is quar- tered in the frame building known as old Mt. Pisgah Chapel, on R street between 10th and 11th streets northwest. The men are under command of M. D. Fitzgerald, and accompanying the party is Morrison I. Swift, who calls himself a socialist an- archist, and who was summarily squelched at the Massachusetts state capitol some months ago by Gov. Greenhalge. The objects for which the “army” has come to Washington are to petition Con- gress to pass laws for the purpose of giving work to the unemployed by the inaugura- tion of extensive public works, and- to nationalize railroads, telegraph companies and mines by having the government as- sume their ownership. Fitzgerald and his party say they are not in any practical sense connected with Cox- ey’s Commonweal of Christ, although both concerns have virtually a similar object in View. Nothing of interest in connection with the last named body transpired today at the camp, near Highlands. There were six recruits received from the Galvin “army” yesterday, and some charitable person donated 135 pounds of coffee. SS RATHER DIE THAN LIVE. BODY ENTIRELY BROKEN OUT IV ONE MASS OF SORES.
