It is Demolished, Having Stood Nearly a Century and a H: Davy Burns’ cottage, which has stood the storms since 1748, is no more. It was torn down yesterday by order: of those en- gaged in laying out the Columbia Athletic Club's new grounds. In spite of its ap- parently dilapidated condition, the siruc- ture required the most forcible handling to demolish. Down to the lowest brick in the foundation strong and united efforts of the workmen were required to level it. It was allowed to stand until the last moment, in the hope that it would not interfere with the various fi but the necessity for its demolition became imperative. The venerators of things historical can- not but regret its destruction. It was the home until his death of one of the original propzietors of the ground on which Wash- ington stands. Of ail the men Gen. Wash- ington came in contact with during his eventful career, Davy Burns, he is said to have declared, was the most obstinate. His Scotch nature bowed to none. He lived a czar on his great tract, allowing not even the foremost man in the country to oppose him. The cottage was situated in Van Ness Park, near the foot of 17th street, the property of the heirs of ex-Goveraor Swann of Maryland. a THE CAPTAL GLEE CLUB. An Enjoyable Concert Given at Met- zerott Hall Last Night. The Capital Glee Club of this city is now nearing the close of but its second seaton, and yet in this short period of its exist- ence it has secured a strong and lasting hold upon popular favor and is a prime favorite with Washington society, It needs but an aunouncement that the club will sing to fill a hall to its utmost capacity with a brilliant and appreciative audience, and last night was no exception to the rule, Metzerott Hall having all it could com- fortably accommodate despite the threaten- ing weather. The club’s reputation for a tasteful arrangement of the stage was fully sustained, marguerites, roses and palms, rugs, piano lamps and richly upholstered divans being used to give a drawing room effect. The evening opened with a Liedouin Love Song, rendered by the club, followed by Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No. 13, interpreted by the club's pianist, Mr. Arch- ibald Olmstead. The next number, “The Water Mill,” an exceedingly smooth, flow- ing chorus, was rendered with such delicacy of shading as to call forth an encore, in re- sponse to which the club sang “Trust Her Not, She Is Fooling Thee.” Mrs. Frank A. Gardner was then led before the audience and sang “Ocean, Thou Mighfy Monster,” by Von Weber. Mrs. Gardner's voice ad charming personality so delighted her lis- teners that she was brought out im, and for an encore sang in lighter vein “Dois: “The Nun of Nidaros,” from Longfellow's “Saga of King Olaf,” one of Dudley Buck's oratorios, was sung by the club, concluding the first part of the program. In this num- ber the excellent quality of the club's work could best be judged, and the results of their careful training were here plainly ap- parent in the delicate pianissimos, the ten- der shadings of expression and well-execut- ed climaxes, and the faultless balancing of the parts, combined with a unity of move- ment and distinctness of enunciation which have justly given the club its well-earned reputation. The solo parts of this number were sung by Mr. Jacob Scharf, who is Possessed of a tenor voice remarkable for its strength and purity and compass, For an encore “Old Kentucky Home” was ren- dered with such pathetic sweetness that the audience spontaneously burst into enthusi- astic applause, which did not subside until Mr. Cloward again waved his baton and the club sang “Dixie,” with becoming spirit. In the second half of the program, after having given evidence of his eminent abil- ity as a trainer and conductor, Mr. N. Du- Shane Cioward added to his laui by his easy and finished rendition of ly Love for Thee, Marie,” from the “Grey Nui composed by Mr. Cloward and Mr. Busch. Mr. Cloward’s rich baritone voice was en- joyed by every one, and he was recalled and sang “Thou Art My Dream,” the glee club humming the accompaniment, producing a most pleasing effect. Another of Dudley Buck’s compositions, the “Chorus of Spirits and Hours,” was rendered in an artistic pon rsa Pg ng and <4 Gardner, who sustain e solo parts, and the program was concluded with Sullivan’s “The Long Day Closes.” — THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD. And So Mrs. Middlet. Married Again —She Now Wants a Divorce. An interesting petition for divorce was flied today by Attorney Campbell Carring- ton for Mary V. Middleton against Henry Munroe Middleton. Mrs. Middleton alleges that on the 30th of April, 1885, when but fifteen years of age, she was married here to the defendant by the Rev. Walter Brooks; that about six weeks afterward her husband willfully and without cause de- serted and abandoned her, and that some months thereafter she received word that he was dead. The petitioner further al- leges that about seven years later, honestly believing that her husband was dead, she was married to one Moulton Teager. With eager she lived until the 9th of last month, when she visited Kansas City, Mo., to at- tend the funeral of her mother. While there he received a letter from Middleton, of whom she had heard nothing since Septem- ber 15, 1885, stating that he was alive and well and wished to see her. She charges that Middleton deserted and led her to be- lieve that he was dead, that he might live with another woman. Since learning that Middleton is alive she has not lived with Teager, and will not, she says, until she is divorced from Middleton. No children, she says, resulted from her union with the de- fendant. __~—_ The Engineers Give a Ball. The engineer corps of the W. and C. B.
