Society was well represented on Satur- day afternoon and evening at the Home for Incurables, when, combining a good work and a good time, a substantial in- crease to the depleted treasury of the in- stitution was effected. The reception com- mittee consisted of Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. Bis- sell, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Dolph, Mrs. Archi- bald Hopkins and Miss Woodbury. Mrs. John 8.

American girls were among the most prominent titled ladies who were presented to the queen at the crawing room on the 10th of this month. The gowns they wore vere simply fect. The Countess of Es- sex, better own here as Miss Adele Grant, wore her wedding gown of white setin, the entire court train, which hung from the shoulders, being embroidered with stiver sunbursts. On one shoulder was a sil- ver dove and the tulle veil wes spotted with silver. In front of the white ostrich plumes was a coronet of diamonds, and clasping her throat was a collar of the same prec- ious stones. Mrs. John Davis, who has been spending several years abroad, will return in the avturn and spend four or five months in this city, during which she will introduce to society her daughter, Miss Bessie Davis.

Saturday afternoon Mr. Felix Greenapple, the merchant cn Lovisiana avenue between 9th and 10th streets, met with a fatal ac- | cident while making an examination of the roofs of his houses, which needed repairing. Mr. Greenapple owned three houses, and several weexs ago they were damaged by fire. When the damage was temporarily re- paired a piece of tin was put over the sky- light to keep out the rain, and Saturday in looking about the houses to decide upon permarent repairs he stepped on this piece of tin, and it gave way with him. Beneath the skylight there were openings leading throught the two ficors to the basement, and the unfortunate man fell the entire dis- tance, about fifty feet, falling on the con- crete floor. A few feet from the roof Mr. Greenapple struck a projecting beam, but the ferce of the fall was not affected enough to save him. Clerks from the adjoining store ran to the injured man’s assistance. Although he had fallen so far and landed upon the hard sur- face, the injured man was still conscious. He complained of his arm, which was broken, but thought he was not otherwise seriously injured. The injured man was removed to the Emergency Hospital, where he died in less than two hours after the accident hap- Seg The deceased, who was fifty-two years old, was a native of Poland. He came to this city about thirty years ago, having lived in Alexandria prior to coming here. As a butcher and meat dealer he accumu- lated a fortune. Undertaker Geier removed the body to the late home of deceased, No. 330 6th street southeast, from where the funeral took place this afternoon, Gin Not Identified. Commander Sutton of the police boat stated to a Star reporter this afternoon that the body of the unknown found in the river near Mt. Vernon yesterday afternoon has not yet been identified. The body is now at Mt. Vernon. The body is that of a man about five feet nine inches, weighing about 125 pounds. The face is smoothly shaven, a hair role being on the left cheek and left neck. The hair is dark. The body was dressed in a blue serge suit, white shirt, blue polka dot necktie, and wore Crawford shoes. There was a bullet wound in the left breast near | the heart. The man’s pockets were filled | with stones, and it is supposed ae walked out into the water and then shot himself. A box of 32-caliber cartridges and $2 were found in his pockets. A copy of the Wash- ington Post, dated May 24, was found on the shore near where the body was discov- ered. The body was found in shallow water near the shore, about a quarter of 2 mile from the Mt. Vernon wharf. An inquest was ordered there at 1 o'clock this afer- noon. — A Mysterious Shot. A pistol shot rafg out at 1452 Stoughton street about 9:30 o'clock Saturday night, and that usually staid and peaceful neizh- borhood was thrown into a high state of excitement. Immediately a crowd of ex- cited persons gathered, and within a few minutes the patrol wagon of the eighth precinct dashed up with Sergt. Evans and several officers. It was known that the only residents of the house referred to were J. D. Smali- aninoff, said to be a Russian count, and a Mr. James Walsh, formerly a real estate broker. After an investigation the police- men drove away, being satisfied that the alarm was false, but to a reporter the count made several decidedly erratic state- ments, cne of which was that he endeavor- ed to kill himself, but failed because his hand shook. Where the bullet lodged, how- ever, could not be discovered. The reason he desired to end his life, the foreigner stated, was because he is penniless, al- though the possessor of considerable prop- erty in this city, Virginia and Florida. ——_4+—__. The Rev.
