It was expected by all interested that Judge Stake of Hagerstown would, yester- day, render a decision on the petition of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal trustees for an extension of time, but he did not return from Washington, where he had been for several days, early enough. ‘The trustees’ possession of the canal ex- pires in May, 1805. They ask for an ex- tension of rule until 1905. It is claimed by the trustees that at present there is a scar- city of boats on the waterway, and men will not put their money in new ones until they are assured that the trustees will be allowed to continue their prosperous man- agement. Time was also asked for the purpose of making an arrangement with the Chesa- peake and Ohio Transportation Company for the propelling of boats by electric power. It is upon this petition that the judge is to pass. Should the extension of time be re- fused the trustees, it is probable that the Baltimore and Ohio ratlroad’s recent offer for the purchase of the canal will be con- sidered. During the month of May the shipments from the Pocahontas mines aggregated 840,015 tons, the largest monthly shipment ever made. This has been brought about by the shutting down of the mines in the Cum- | berland region. The Pocahontas mines are | largely operated by colored men, who have | Steadily refused to organize for the purpose of joining in the strikes, which at the pres- ent time are so infecting the mining re- gions of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsyivania. Church Service: At 2 p.m.yeSterday at the Congress Street Churct :he Reverends W. H. Chapman, J. McKenuree Reiley and M. F. B. Rice made reminiscent addresses, and at 8 in the @ven- ing there were platform addresses of inter- est by the Reverends B. P. Brown, W. I. McKenney and Richard Norris. At 9:30 there was a reception in the Sunday school room, and old ministers, superintendents and scholars talked of old times and par- took of refreshments until a late hour. The church at all the services has been filled. Paragraphs. Howard Thompson, a young man ‘about eighteen years of age, drank to a consider- able extent yesterday, and at about 9 o'clock last night was attacked with the violent kind of fits while near the George- town Convent. is condition became frightful, tearing his hair, making at all who came near him and screaming at the top of his voice. The police strapped him to a board to prevent further violence to himself or others, and took him home in the patrol wagon. Yesterday Michael A. Dugan executed a quit claim deed to M. J. and John M. Ad- ler, releasing all claim to certain land on R street west of 33d street. Two men in charge of a garbage cart were yesterday arrested in Georgetown for allowing the lid of their receptacle to stay open while going through the streets of the town, CS aed to the health regulations. Yesterday the door to the post office safe Was opened, after the lock had been worked upon for three hours. It was found neces- sary to take out the bolts and rivets con- nected with the combination. The contents of the safe were found undisturbed. —— LOVE D LIQUOR. The Combination Caused Emmett Rodgers to Attempt Suicide. Love and liquor’ aid not mix well for Em- mett Rodgers and last night, he attempted to end his life with a small pistol. The shot was well directed, and, although it did not result im instant death, the physicians are certain that he cannot recover. During his intense suffering the wounded negro seems to have changed his mind about the desired result of the two pistol shots, but one of the bullets, it is thought, went through the apex of his heart, so that death is only a question of time. Emmett is only about twenty-two years old: He came here from a small place in Virginia krown as Keswick, and soon found lucra- tive employment as a hotel waiter, being) recently employed at the Normandie. Maggi Williams, a young woman living at 1738 P street, was the object of his love and affec- tion, and his attentions were certainly recip- rocated. But Sunday night, on their way home from church, this idea of love was dispelled from his mind when imagined, from her conversation, that Maggie probably had less love for him than she had the day before, and he concluded to do as many «# faint heart had done before, end his own exist- ence and leave the coast clear for his suc- cessor in the affections of the one he loved so dearly. He did not have the moral cour- age, however, to end his iffe during mo- ments when he was sober, and could give the matter cool deliberation, but he waited until he had filled up with rum to the degree of making him fear not of the future. Rodgers occupied a room at 1013 2ist street, where several of his companions also lived, and one of them, Emmett Comers. was his particular friend. Rodgers had made a confidant of him, and had discussed his matrimonial intentions. Notwithstanding Sunday's love quarrel Rodgers calied on the fair Maggie last evening, but the police say he only went as far as the gate. He told some of his friends that he was going home today and Comers, who noticed that his friend seemed uneasy about something, asked what was the matter, and was told ‘ou will know all about it tomorrow.” Emmett then borrowed a small pistol from a friend and was warned that he had better not load it until he got out of the city. The country trip was only a bluff on the man’s part, for after getting the re- volver he went to his room. This was about 11:30 o’clock last night, and two shots, fired in rapid succession, made it evident that the waiter from Virginia had attempted to take his own life. Hoppa At- water, his room mate, was in the room at the time, but it was not until he heard the shots that he knew what was going on. When he turned he saw his friend Rod- gers lying prostrate on the floor. i, me,” he repeated several times, “I'm smothering.” Policeman Parham was soon at the house and he had the wounded man taken to the Emergency Hospital. In his pockets were pictures of Miss Williams and a note ad- dressed to her, in which he mentioned noth- ing of his intention to take his life. At a late hour this afternoon the condi- tion of the would-be suicide was unchanged and there appeared to be no possibility of his recovery.

The physicians at the Emergency Hos- pital today stated that Mr. A. C. Chewning, the gentleman who was found unconscious, due to lack of nourishment, in the Smith- sonian grounds on Sunday evening, is so far recovered that he will be able to be out within a dey or two. Sympathy for the un- fortunate man has been spontaneous and generous, cash having been sent to him at the Emergency Hospital in care of the matron, Miss West, amounting to over $160. In addition to the above a number of persons forwarded funds to the wife and children at Basic City, Va. It is reported that Secretary Carlisle in- tends offering Mr. Chewning a position in the Treasury Department, and Mr. Lyman Alger of Wanamaker & Brown's clothing establishment has a: place ready for the sufferer if he will accept it. Rev. and Mrs. ogi have also volunteered to find work for him. Several hundred dollars, not including the above, have been collected from various sources for the relief of the family, and the case is one that should appeal to persons who are desirous of helping a really de- serving man. Mrs. Chewning was expected to reach Washington and join her husband at_the hospital some time this afternoon.

An old man, who gave the name of Alex- ander Stewart, and who was said to have been a tent and awning maker in this city during the war, as well as a sporting char- acter of wide local acquaintance, was found dead in bed yesterday at 18 South High street, Baltimore. He had been asphyxiated by illuminating gas, two burners having been turned on in the apartment and only one of them lighted. Inquiry among old residents who would have known such a man had he resided here, as stated in the Baltimore papers, failed to discover any one who remembered such and individual,and no Such person has ever been engaged in this city in the manufacture of awnings and tents. ns A Loving Tribute.

Heck. | Mr. John T. Heck, who was recently re- moved from the position of foreman of the Interior Department branch of the govern- nent printing office, was made acquainted last night with the esteem in which his former associates held him. During the evening they called in a body at Mr. Heck's residence, No. 1124 S street, and presented their old chief with a handsome gold-heeded cane. There were speeches and esponses, and then the gathering enjoyed Mr. Heck's hospitality with all the pleasure such an occasicn could inspire. Judge Cox has discharged the temporary restraining order which he granted a few days ago in the case of J. Forrest Manning vs. H. I. Ellicott, and thirty days given in which to take testimony. Manning alleges that Ellfcott, the sculptor of the Hancock statue to be erected in this city, has con- tracted with him for construction of the pedestal, at a cost of $23,000, but that Eili- cott has since made overtures for the work to another party. LATE SPORTING NEWS IT WAS PULSE QUICKENING. Yesterday's Game Between the Wi ingtons and Clevela. Patsy Tebeau’s Spiders wove an intricate web about National Park yesterday after- noon and tried to entice the Senators into its meshes, The legislators declined to be- come entangled, however, and then the crawlers from Cleveland used main force, and it was an even struggle for eight full innings, but in the ninth, by a great effort, the local tariff debaters conquered the vis- iting insects, and again had the league tail- enders vanquished one of the leaders at base ball. Fully three thousand persons were on the grounds when Umpire Hurst called “play,” but not three hundred were sanguine enough to expect a victory, especially as Cleveland had Cuppy in the box against Petty for Washington. The home team ad- vanced first to bat and scored twice in their half of the inning. The Clevelands tied the score, but in the second went one ahead. After two were out in the sixth Washing- ton evened things up by scoring another, and followed it by two more in the eighth. The Spiders did likewise and again the root- ers shook. All doubt was removed in the ninth, for the Schmelzites shoved three men around to the home plate, while Te- beau’s men drew a cipher, owing to ina- bility to hit Mercer, who replaced Petty. jaear,Radford and Cartwright made @ number of difficult stops, and Joyce, Sel- bach, Cartwright and Abbey used the stick with good effect.

They will take with began at the National last night, with two plays, “Mr. Hobby’s Daughters” to hoist the curtain on, and Buckstone’s two-act comedy, “The Scholar,” a play which Mr. Barrie could not get out of his mind when he wrote “The Professor's Love Story.” “Mr. Hobby’s Daughters,” by Mr. Conte, Mr. Findlay, Miss Gallatin, Miss Sanders, Miss Stevens and Miss Findlay, led out well, and it was closely followed by “The Scholar,” by Mr. Bond, Mr. Wheelock, Mr. Pattee, Mr. Findlay, Mr. Mackay, Mi: Findlay and Miss Gallatin. “‘The Scholar” (who ts Mr. Bond) is simple in plot; the scholar being wholly devoted to his books in general, and one in particular, which he is writing on the inconveniences and dang- ers of marriage, and to him his Doctor (Mr, Findlay) commanicates the informa- tion that his labors will kill him unless he takes a day cff and gets married The scholar leaves it all to his physician, and the Doctor selects the pupil, Helen (Miss Gallatin), and after a complication or two the affair is settled satisfactorily. Mr. | Wheelock made his first rance, and was given an ovation. His part of Hans, the valet, was done to a nicety. Miss Gal- latin was a pretty enough pupil for an en- tire faculty to fall in love with, and Mr. Bond and his r made a pleasant com. bination. There was a large audience, and though the night was warm, the heat did not have @ ticket evidently, as it did not come into the house.

The coal strikes are beginning to affect Alexandria very seriously. The supply of coal for business purposes is becoming very low and no coal is coming in. A prominent officer of the Robert Portner Brewing Com- pany told The Star representative yesterday that but for the fact that his company had a contraet for the supply of coal and the coal merchants only furnishing those with whom they have contracts, he did not know what they would do. The consumers gen- erally are becoming very much wrought up over the short suppiy. Miss Eliza Daingerfield Smith ‘s the guest of her sister, Mrs. Robert F. Knox.
