A hatchet in the hands of Dolly Adams had inflicted a painful injury to Herry Brooks’ head, | while Brooks, in addition to striking the woman, struck old man Wilson, the | woman's father, with a pitchfork. Judge Miller heard the evidence of several wit- nesses, and Brooks admitted that he had been drinking, but denied that he struck the first blow. The court was not satisfied that the woman had a right to use a hatchet, in view of what had taken place, and fined her $10 or thirty days. There were two charges against Brooks, and he was fined $10 or thirty days in each case. Bit His Wife's Nose. Andrew Jackson, a belligerent old colored man, who resides on Meridian Hill, was in the toils because of a family row two nights ago. He said guilty, but in his statement he attempted to een up matters between his wife and himself. She charged that he kicked her and then bit her nose, but the old man denied the biting. “And it's nothing new,” said the wife. “He's done the same thing before and been ent to jail.” Is it true that you have been in jail for assaulting your wife?” the judge asked the prisot er. . sir,” he answered. to the Sweet.

The Churchman’s League of the District | of Columbia gave a reception to Bishop | Paret, bishop of Maryland, last evening at | the rooms of the Church of the Epiphany. Representative men, both of the clergy and laity, to the number of about 150 gave hearty and affectionate welcome to their | diocesan and showed conclusively how glad they were to do him honor. The proceed- ings were very enthusiastic and interest- ing. Mr. Henry E. Pellew; the second vice president, called the meeting to order, and ir.troducing the bishop weil and forcibly ex- pressed the sentiments and feelings of the Churchman’s League toward him.

The Visitors Won Yesterday's Game in One Inning. Young Mercer injured an ankle painfully during the first inning of the base ball game yesterday afternoon, and in their half of the second the cruel Spiders made a con- certed attack upon the crippled fly and be- fore his comrades had rescued him eight runs had been placed to the credit of the Clevelands. Esper was substituted in the third and Tebeau's men scored but one addi- | tional run during the remainder of the con- | test. | Childs, the first batter, sent a grounder | toward Cartwright, and Mercer, in an at- | tempt to cover the bag, slipped and turned | his ankle. It looked as though he was dis- abled for further play, but after cnergedc rubbing the Fall River boy returned and fin- ished the inning, no runs being scored by the visitors. In the second, as the Washi: ton twirler agaia imped to the box, it w evident to everybody that he was suffering intense pain, and that fact was demonstrat- ed a moment later. After Joyce and Rad- ford had made errors that would dishearten the usual run of pitchers, the Spiders had no difficulty in hitting as nyt pleased. | Eleven men went to the bat and eight runs were scored before the agony was over. But | two hits were secured off Esper in the six innings he pitched. Had Mercer been taken out of the game immediately after his injury, the victory would probably have belonged to Washing- ton. In the ninth inning, after Washington | Scored two runs and had men on bases, Manager Tebeau signaled’ Clarkson to warm up, which that player did, and if the bat- ting streak of the locals had not ended, Young most certainly would have been sent to the bench in the middle of the inning. After Joyce had waited for four balls in the first, Abbey slashed one to the center field fence for four bases, but Schmelz’ men tallied not again until the seventh, when Cartwright made a two-bagger and | McKean an error.

What Corbett Hi to Say About His Match With Jackson, James J. Corbett, the pugilist, in an inter- view in London regarding the prospeccs of his match with Peter Jackson, says: “I shall accept the offer of the Jackson- ville Club in preference to the one made by the National Sporting Club. In the first place, there is a decided difference in favor of Jacksonville in the amount of the purse and in the second place, I know that a fin- ish fight can be decided in Jacksonville, as the law has been tested there. I know also that a contest lasting longer than twenty rounds would not be allowed in London. “It is curious to me,” pursued Corbett, “how anxious for a fight this man Jackson |has become. If he is so anxious to fight me, let him leave the side bet with the pres- ent stakeholder until I return to America. He will have no trouble in arranging a con- test at Jacksonville, where he can have a go to a finish and receive a big purse in the bargain. I have cabled Mr. Davis, the stakeholder, to hold my $10,000 until the de- talls of the foregoing are arranged. Tuis is positively my ultimatum.” THE COMING BOAT RACE. Pennsylvania Oarsmen in Their Quarters on the Delaware. Considerable interest is being manifested in the intercollegiate boat race which takes place on the upper Delaware river on Fri- day afternoon, June 15. Yesterday tha Pennsylvania crew and Coach George Wood- ruff arrived at Torresdale and took posses- sion of their quarters on the Morelton Inn | grounds. The Cornell crew is expected to- | night, and the members will occupy their | house, which adjoins the Pennsylvania cot- | tage. | Col. Morrell proposes that the first college | race on the upper Delaware shall be a mem- | orable event. He has erected two buildings | fronting on” Poquessing creek, which has | been dredged for some distance to permit | the crews to reach the river easily. The cot- tages, which were built for the sole purpose of housing the crews and their shells, con- tain six sleeping rooms each. In addition to a kitchen with every convenience, a shed for the boats occupies the lower floor. The houses are fitted up with shower baths, electric lights and beds. ALEXANDER ISLAND RACES.

This proposition should state size of grounds and facilities for transportation of spectators, Conditions are that the Amateur Athletic Union should be guaranteed against loss, and net profits shall be turned into the treasury of the Amateur Athietic Union. ——— NEWS FROM ALEXANDRIA. Various Matters of Local Interest Ac the Potomac. A little son of Mr. Randolph Robertson, living near Balston, in Alexandria county, was on yesterday bitten by a dog supposed to have been mad. The little fellow will be | taken to the Pasteur Institute. Mr.@Fletcher, the Richmond and Danville brakeman who was so badly injured on Sun- day, is doing nicely, and his physician now | thinks that he will recover. | Edward White, who was arrested here on Monday, charged with robbing a hardware store in Washirgton, has been turned over to the authorities of that city. Detectives Wheeler and Rhodes came after him yes- terday. The man who is supposed to have been an accomplice has not as yet been captured. 23; The Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans is in session here today. About sixty deie- gates are in attendance from various camps | in the state. There will be a banquet at Odd Fellows’ Hall tonight, given in honor of the visiting members. The Young Americas beat a nine from St. John’s Academy in a game of ball yesterday afternoon, by a score of 15 to 14. There are four ex-members of Coxey’s army living in an “ark” on the opposite side of the river. The Star representative went over yesterday to see how they were mak- ing out. They said that they were livirg on $1 a week, which they made catching frogs and fish and selling them in Washiug- ton and Alexandria. On being asked how they managed to get the “ark,” the leader said: “Oh! we caught the hull adrift, and begged enough money to put_a house on it. The whole outfit cost us $1.80. We got tired of loafing with ‘Coxey’s army,’ tried to get work and failed, so made up our minds to try it out here on the river.’ The ark is comfortably fixed, and has just room enough for the four men. They do their cooking on the shore. They catch two or three dozen frogs every night and as many fish in the daytime. They will stay where they are for two or three da. and then drift down the river a little lower. The Star man was invited to accompany them, but declined, with thanks. Mr. Wm. M. Reardon of the firm of F. A. Reed & Company is quite ill in Washing- ton. Miss Hattie Robie, who was killed by a Richmond and Danville train in Washing- ton last night, was formerly a resident of this city. Her many friends down here re- gret to hear of her untimely end. In the police court this morning there were several cases of violation of healfh ordinances, brought up by Dr. Purvis, the city health officer. The usual fine of $1 was assessed against each party, and each was ordered to abate the nuisance at once. Willis Pettie, who was arrested several days ago, charged with not having his child, which was still born, properly buried, and for cruelty to his wife, has been sen- tenced to sixty days in jail. The returns from the university exam- inations held in Washington (public) High School are expected in this week. The boys are anxiously awaiting the result. The Hydraulion Fire Company, with the Third Regiment Drum Corps, left last night for Portsmouth to attend the firemen’s con- vention. They will return on Saturday. They presented a handsome appearance as they marched down the street. ~~ The President's Yacht. The President's yacht Dolphin, which has been anchored at the Washington Navy Yard for several weeks, will probably leave there the end of this week for Annapolis, with Secretary Herbert and a party of friends as passengers. Later in the month she will take the Secretary on a tour of in- spection of the northern and eastern naval stations. It is possible that the President will use the Dolphin in making the trip from Washington to Gray Gables, but no arrangements to that end have yet been made. Favorable Bank Statement. The last statement issued by the con- troller of the currency in regard to the con- dition of national banks shows a prosperous condition of affairs, and that they have a very large amount of business on hand. As compared with the statement of February 28, an increase of nearly $6,000,000 is shown in gold holdings, $56,000,000 in loans and discounts, nearly $3,000,000 in undivided profits and $54,000,000 in individual deposits.

Nichols of St. Louis at the Ebbitt last night. “The fact is, however, that advanced stu- dents of mechanics are today giving almost as much attention to the power contained in the air we breathe as they are to the subtle fluid that permeates that atmosphere. It is a question, indeed, if the practical ap- plication of compressed air will not solve the problem of harmless rapid transit in populous communities. Of course, by harm- less I mean the accomplishment of the best results with the least danger to life and limb. The large tunnel at Niagara Falls through which the water of the recently es- tablished power company flows from the turbine wheels was bored in an almost in- conceivably short space of time by the use of rock dri run by compressed air. The tunnel Is something over seventy-two hun- dred feet long, and, in round figures, twenty feét in diameter inside of its brick walls. This enormous hole was rushed through the ground by those compressed air rock drills in six months at a cost of something like $400,000. Where frequent air shafts are pos- sible a tunnel ten miles long can be made with compressed air power as quickly as the same tunnel one mile long can be bored with any other kind of applied energy. Oh, yes; when it comes to the consideration of motive power it will not do to leave the elastic atmosphere out of the question, for its power is incomprehensible when it is handled in the proper way. You have heard, of course, of Keeley; not the gold; cure man, but the Philadelphia motor fel- low. Keeley has made many preposterous claims for his motor, and the principle which he asserts is involved in his inven- tion is its power to release the inherent force of nature by which the atoms that form matter are held together, and then to apply this foree to mechanics under re- stricting guidance. Several years ago a committee of the most eminent engineers in the east were selected to visit Keeley’s workshops and receive a practical illustra- tion of the power of his motor. It would take a week to describe all the wonderful proceedings that occurred on the occasion of that visit. The interior of the building was cut up into various apartments; there were wires running everywhere, and glass sounding tubes and metal contraptions of the same sort, of different sizes and lengths, scattered all over the place. Hung upen one side of one apartment was an immense tuning fork, and Keeley would draw a bass violin bow across this instrument and produce a heavy sound, then rush around like a madman, tapping the various sound- ing tubes and listening intently to the ef- fect, ever and again runring from one room to another and turning cocks and keys and doing all sorts of mysterious things. He eyplained that a certain harmony was need- ed before the power that he was seeking to release could burst its bounds and pass to his control. When everything was ar- ranged according to Mr. Keeley’s ideas the members of the committee were taken into an apartment in the center of which was a transparent glass cylinder filled with water. At its bottom was a large piece of steel. The experiment was expected to re- sult in causing the force that held the atoms of a drop of water together to become re- leased and then to be used to make the metal rise to the surface of the water. Keeley labored for a long time with his various mysterious appliances, but fatled to accomplish the desired result. Mr. Chi H. Cramp, the well-known ship builder, was a member of the committee, and the others were men equally well known and eminent in the world of mechanics. Mr. Cramp, I believe it was, tapped one of the numerous wires which gridironed the work- shop and discovered that it was hollow. Keeley’s attention was called to it, and he said that such was the case and that he had had them made that way. It was the opinion of several of the committee that Keeley was using compressed air by means of these wires in the experiments that ap- peared to be so wonderful to prospective purchasers of the motor stock, but that he was afraid to apply it in the presence of such a committee for fear it might be dis- covered, and the mysterious character of his invention and its consequent power to secure the fi cial support of wonder seekers destroyed.” “The dream of boating men in this coun- try has been to establish an American Hen- ley,” said a well-known newspaperman, who accompanied the Cornell crew to England several years ago, at the Riggs House yes- terday. “Many attempts have been made, but all have fallen short of the great Eng- lish institution. Probably the effort came nearer success when the college races were held on Saratoga lake, some twenty years ago, when university, freshmen and single- scull races were rowed, two days being de- voted to the sport. The National Associa- tion has flitted from place to place so fre- quently that it has not become so estab- lished in the affections < the people as if its regattas had been held in one place. Probably the annual Yale-Harvard Univer- sity race is the nearest approach to the English Henley which we now have. The great Henley regatta is the occasion for a big picnic for the sport-loving people of England. It is rowed on the Thames, about thirty miles above London, and the pretti- est part of England. The quaint old town of Henley is on on? side near the upper end of the course, while on the other, broad, green meadows come down to the water's edge. The stream is so narrow that one can skip a stone across, while not more than thre crews can row abreast; so, when there are more than three entries in the race, it is rowed in heats. Crowds pour out from London on the first day of the regatta. Ex- tra trains are run and all are packed. Every one, male and female, is tn white flannel, displaying his or her favorite colors. Only Voating talk is heard. Along the course, cn the Henley side, are many of the pretty houseboats, which Black has made familiar to the American readers of his novels. The other bank is kept clear. A warning gun before each race clears the course, aided by the exertions of many police boats. The races begin at 12:30 o'clock promptly and continue at intervals of half an hour until all the trial heats are rowed. The finals take place the next day. Every crew must be in position at the start at the exact time set, and if a crew is not there it loses its chance. Many, many years of repetition have made the English expert in the man- agement of the regatta, so there are no tire- some waits, and everything goes like a well- regulated clock. Between the races there are all sorts of ways of passing the time. In the meadows are outdoor shows of vari- ous kinds, traveling minstrels, banjo play- ers, merry-go-rounds, countless ways of throwing away pennies, familiar to every visitor to the country fairs in America, and itinerant vendors of fruits and confections, with their peculiar calls, that sound so strange to American ea On the roofs of the houseboats are jolly parties, lunching and having a good time generally. Here and there a gondola, with gaily-dressed gondolier, darts among the more modern craft, bearing a merry party, every one full of spirits and in holiday humor. Not a brawl disturbs the scene, and net a drunken man mars the picture. It is a nation engaged in play.” “The announcement of Judge John H. Reagan that he will be a candidate for the subernatorial nominaticn in Texas has made the political pot down there boil at an amazing rate,” said Nathan Leeman of Gal- veston at the St. James yesterday. “You know Judge Reagan was postmaster gen- eral of the confederacy, and since the war a member of Congress and United States | Senator, and in the country districts of Texas he is as strong as a steer. The greater part of the Clark vote of 1892 will be in Reagan's favor, and the remainder is scattered between Cochran, Culberson, Lan- ham and McCall, and can’t hurt Reagan much. Then the Hoggites in the country districts are all for him. The fight is going to come in the state convention over the adoption of the rules. If the Reagan men prove to be united against adopting a two- thirds rule the majority of the convention wiil decide the nomination, and Reagan will be next governor as sure as shooting. It is generally admitted, anyhow, that there are but three condidates in the race, and these are Reagan, Lanham and Culberson, the latter being the bright and suc ful son of the Congressman of the same name, who is injuring his boy’s gubernatorial chances, by the way, by not making some positive declaration about his senatorial aspirations.” “If the voracity of the express companies continues,” said Henry Marshall of Flor- ida at Willard’s last night, “the early peaches which are now shipped to northern | markets in the late spring will be used for peach butter, pickles and Jam. I have been interested in the business near Keuka for several years, but we have stopped shipping peaches this year simply because the ex- press companies get every cent of the pro- ceeds, or so near to it that the remainder 1s picayune. I'll give you an instance, which will suffice for all. A carrier crate holds about three pecks, and some time ago a shipper at Keuka sent three of them to Philadelphia to a well-known commission merchant. The crates brought $2.50 each, -50 in all. From this the commission to 75 cents. The express charges were $8.35, so the shipper received 40 cents for his nine of peaches, which had cost ?0 cents for packing in the first place. Ac- cordingly his receipts were 10 cents, all told. Of course, that kind of thing won't do. Early peaches are worth 75 cents a bushel on the trees in Florida, and I hardly think any more will be shipped from my section as long as the express companies demand such enormous tribute.” —_—>_—__ CRUSHED ON THE ROAD. the Electric Rail- ad Near Bethesda Park. Near the little school house on the Rock- ville dirt road, about midway between Bethesda Park and the Bethesda post office, on the line of the electric road, a man was run over last night near 11 o'clock by one of the cars and horribly mangled. His legs were crushed to pieces, and his skull fright- fully mashed. Whether he was dead when | the car struck him or whether he was un- ccnsciously drunk, will probably never be known. Motorman Hill saw the body when within a feW feet of it, but it was impossi- ble to stop the car. The man when sighted was lying face up- ward, it is said, on one of the rails, his body stretched its full length, the face to- | ward Georgetown. The first touch of the car broke or injured the legs. The contact " the body inward and it was man- gled. As soon as the motorman and con- ductor recovered from the shock of the ac- cident they notified the people in Bethesda. Squire Austin immediately summoned a jury, consisting of five Maryland men and seven from the District. After hearing all the evidence in the case the jury exoner- ated the railroad company, motorman and conductor, deciding that the affair was the result of an accident. On the body of the man was found a let- ter addressed to Frank Walls, Pittsburg. Pa., and some pension papers made out in that name. "Phe man’s face appeared to be that of an habitual drunkard. His clothes were coarse and his condition far from tidy. Another letter from the man’s sister, Kate McClellen of Alleghaney City, Pa., was also found. Reproved f His Habits. In it the gister upbraids the man for his heavy drinking, speaks of an inclosure with which to buy shoes, and requests “that if he ever gets sober enough he will please write her.” Superintendent Mills of the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad se- cured a plece of canvas, and, wrapping up the remains, assisted at their interment in the most available spot near the scene of the death, in conformity, it is said, with the Maryland law. t where the car ran into the man was in a deep hollow, and t*e darkest place cn the road. There are some who beieve the man was first murdered, and then placed upon the track in the hope thet the heavy car would destroy all traces of foul play. When searched ninety-one cents, in addition to the letters and pension papers, were found on him. The letter from hi iter was not in an envelope, and his local address, if he had one, could not be learned. None who saw the body last night remembered to have seen the man in life. ISLAND THE GOAL. That International Race Not for John- son's Island. Whether Johnson's Island, reported to be the goal of the international race between the British and Hawalian steamers, reported in advices from Honolulu, belongs to the United States, Great Britain or Hawaii, is | likely to have little significance at present, for, according to the information and be- lef of officers of the State Department, the real object of the race is not Johnson's Island at all, but Neckar’s Island. This island lies about 400 miles west of Honolulu, in latitude 23-34 north and longitude 164-37 west, and is nothing but a barren rock about 500 feet long, rising 360 feet above the waves. Once it was covered with guano, | but it has long since been stripped and left uninhabited. In fact, it is incapable of sup- | porting human beings without outside aid. | Hawail has claimed the island, but this fact doubtless has prevented a colonization. It is part of the British colonial scheme, which will be fully ventilated at the important Ottawa conference, about te assemble, to touch at this island with the cable from British Columbia to Australia. Then a branch loop would be run over to Honolulu to piek up the paying business that might be gathered there. The British would pre- fer to run the main cable directly to the Hawaiian Islands, but they fear interna- tional complications and the loss of its con- trol an emergency, should the cable touch anywhere than on British soll. In fact. it is very doubtful whether the cable could be landed at Hawaii without the a: sent of the United States, under the present treaty stipulations, although, in view of the importance of the cable for our own use, it may be that such assent would not be with- held. As for Neckar’s Island, if the Ha- wailan title is good, which cannot be de- termined at present, the United States gov- ernment unquestionably would be bound to protect the island republic in its righ against the world, = yi ——___-e._____ DIVIDED OVER SILVER. Ohio Rep: leans of Different Minds om the Metal. The committee on resolutions of the Ohio republican convention at Columbus met last evening at the state house and organ- ized by the selection of State Auditor Poe as chairman. Several of the members pre- sented drafts of completed platforms and of planks. These were referred to @ sub- committee of five, with Judge Lawrence a: chairman, and with instructions to report back last night. The committee on per- manent organization decided upon ex-Sec- retary Charles Foster as permanent chair. man of the convention, and John R. Mal- lery, clerk of the state house of represent- atives, as permanent secretary. The subcommittee on resolutions made its report later. It was given out that the silver plank was the principal bone of con- tention. Some of the members were in fa- vor of indorsing the reciprocity policy out- lined by ex. er roo Sd his recent pa- per, which has many pporters among the delegates, while others were just as strongly in favor of simply reiterating the silver plank of the Minneapolis convention. Ex-Secretaty Foster arrived last evenii He stated that he would accept the inv tation to preside over the convention toda: But for the contest over the sup-eme judgeship the convention would be a rat- ification meeting pure and simple. All the other officers ‘on the ticket will be renom- inated by acclamation. For the supreme judgeship the incumbent, Chief Justice Franklin J. Dickman, was antagonized by Judge John A. Price of Logan and Judge John A. Shauck of Montgomery. At 11:30 the committee on resolutions adjourned until 9 this morning. One of its members said: “We have done nothing but wrangle, and if it is the same thing in the morning the convention will have a long wait for a report.” os SAW THE FIRE DRILL. Morning Devoted to B: mess by the International Y. M. C. A. At yesterday's session of the interna- tional conference in London and jubilee celebration of the Young Men's Christian Associations, Vice President Alfred Andre of Paris presided. Prince Oscar of Sweden, another of the vice presidents, read Psalm XXII at the devotional service. He said that it was a comfort to be united under one shepherd. Dr. Kari Fries of Stockholm read a paper upon the work of foreign missions, and, in so doing, said that the greatest hindrance of the work was the dissolute life which the majority of white men lead in heathendom Other speeches on this scope of the work of foreign missions followed. The delegates, during the afternoon, visit- ed the headquarters of the fire brigade and witnessed the firemen drill. ———_—-+e+______ RATHER LATE TO THINK OF IT. Proposition to Exhume a Murdered Man’s Body. Justice Abbett, at Trenton, N. J., yester- day denied the application of counsel for Walwitz, the condemned murderer of Lip- pincott, for an order for the exhumation of Lippincotts body, that the bullets in the dead man’s body might be compared with the caliber of the revolver used by Wal- witz. The court said it was without power, and recommended that application be made to the court of pardons, and that through that court and Governor Werts apply to Gov- ernor Pattison of Pennsylvania, where Li pincott is buried, for the proper authority ‘The court of pardons will meet two weeks from today. Walwitz is sentenced to hang June 26. Mrs. Lippincott protested against exhum- ing her husband’s body, and Justice Ab- bett said she had legal contro! over it REPUBLICAN CLUBS.

After having sailed over +10,000 miles without a mishap the Viking ship had « narrow escape from being wrecked off Lincoln Park, Chicago, Sunday on return. ing from the Mississippi river. There were fourteen Norwegian captains on board and they all discussed how the craft should be sailed into the lagoon In the meantime the wind had shifted and half a gale was blowing. Then all the captains got wildly excited. Those in the bow dropped the anchor just as those in the stern succeeded in get- ting a line to the steamer Sunbeam.
