(fH DVENING. A PUBLIC MEETING Citizens to Meet and Co-Operate With Knights of Pythias. THE BIG AUGUST ENCAMPMENT Encouraging Letters Being Re- ceived From All Sections. THE STAR PRIZE TROPHY The citizens of the District are to be given an opportunity to do their share toward insuring a cordial welcome to the visitors who are expected here on the occasion of the Knights of Pythias encampment in Au- gust. The indications at the Knights of Pythias headquarters are that many thous- ands will come to Washington to view the spectacle on Pennsylvania avenue on that oceasion. The District Commissioners, im- pressed with the fact that obligations of hos- pitality rested upon the city which it cannot avoid ‘because of the existence of a commit- |, tee of Knights of Pythias, today issued a call for a publjc meeting to be held tomorrow af- ternoon at 4:30 o'clock to devise a plan for co-operating with the Knights of Pythias committee and insuring the visitors such hospitality as is necessary to maintain the record of the city. The meeting will be held in Willard’s Hall, the use of which for the purpose has been granted by the courtesy ef Mr. Staples. The Commissioners’ call is as follows: OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONERS, D.C., June 11, 1894. To the Citizens of the District: The Knights of Pythias committee, rav- ing invited the aid of the citizens cf the District in arranging for the reception and entertainment of the Supreme Lodge of that order, which will assemble here August 27, and of the Uniform Rank, which will hold an encampment here during the same week, a meeting of citizens to devise a plan for co-operating with that committee will be held Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o’cloek in Willard's Hall. It is expected that, these events will attract a large number of visl- tors to Washingtcn, and it is necessary that suitable provisions be made for their comfort. The attractions of the capital city, including its record for hospitality, in- duced the order to choose it as the place for its great national gathering, and it now re- mains for the citizens to take action to as- sure its guests a cordial welcome and uw proper entertainment. JOHN W. ROSS, GEORGE TRUESDELL, Cc. F. POWELL. At this meeting no contributions will be asked, but the matter will be discussed and probably provision will be made for the | appointment of necessary committees of cit- izens to act with the Knights of Pythias committee, which has already planned many of the details of the event. ‘The Star's Trophy. The Knights of Pythias expect that the porade on Pennsylvania avenue will be one of the finest displays ever witnessed on that grand thoroughfare, which is famous for its parades. The uniform rank is handsomely equipped and makes a specialty of drill. Several handsome cash prizes are provided for the competitive drill. These drills will be participated in by many of the crack divisions of the order. The division {s the unit of thelr organizations, corresponding with a company of infantry. Quite a num- ber of full regiments are expected to appear in the parade on Pennsylvania avenue and the review and inspection on the following day. To give additional zest and interest to these displays, The Evening Star has offered as a trophy and a souvenir of the encampment to the regiment making the n.ost creditatbie showing in the parade, field inspection an@ review a stand of colors, consisiing of a regulation United States fiag of silk and a pair of U. R. K. P. guid- ons. The offer of this trophy is announced in general orders issued by Maj. Gen. Car- nahan from the headquarters of the Uni- form Rank, Indianapolis, June 7. In_ this order Gen, Carhahan says: “The folloWing information is given to regimental m= mi : The. proprietors of The Evening Star, one.ef the leading newspapers of Washington,..wil] present as a trophy and souvenir of the éncampment to the regiment making the most creditable showing in numbers and soldierly appearance on the grand parade and in the field of inspection and review a stand of colors, consisting of a regulation United States flag made of silk and handsomely mounted and a pair of U. R. K. P. silk guidons. ‘This trophy will be as handsome as can be obtained,’ say the proprietors of The Evening Star, and the award will be made by three mili- tary officers. This will be no prize to be voted for, but an award for merit. What regiment will carry home this trophy?" Enthusinam Growing. A letter was received this morning from Sylvester Greusel, sir knight recorder of the Hastings (Mich.) division of the uni- fcrm rank, requesting that accommodations be provided for fifty men, in addition to a like number asked for previously. This is an indication of how the enthusiasm con- cerning the encampment, already great, is growing. The letter of Sir Knight Greusel is‘ but the type of many. He also states that his division has entered for the drill, and is working hard with the expectation of winning. The Hastings division carried off the prize in the competitive drills held at Cincinnati in 1888 and at Milwaukee in 1890, They expect to have to drill better at Washington in order to win than was necessary at either of the other cities, for the reason that the list of entries is greater and the rivalry more intense. It ts thought by many connected with the drilling com- petition that the drills which are to be set up will be the finest ever seen at a Pythian encampment and among the best ever seen in this country. A Bleyele Corps. A proposition is on foot to have those Pythian knights, not members of the uni- form rank, who can ride bicycles, form a@ cycle corps for the parade. The idea was suggested by the following communication received by Chairman Richard Goodihart from Capt. R. Workman of Potomac Di- vision, No, 19, of Bayard, W. Va.: “I have been requested to certain whether or not there will be a bicycle corps in the big parade. I do not mean that it is to be cotmposed of men of the umiform rank, but of the knights. There are several here who would like to see this feature in the parade, and I promised to write for information. Each week our di- vision is approaching nearer to a comple- t.on of those pri tions necessary to its trip to Washingto: Some Lette Several communications were received by the transportation committee this morning from railroad companies. The most import- ant communication was received by Gen. John E. Smith, secretary to that commit- tee, from Mr. William Fleming, secretary to the Trunk Line Passenger Association, with headquarters at 143 Liberty street, New York. It ts as follows: “Your application of February 2% to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company | for reduced rates for the Pythian meeting was referred to this association, and the following has been authorized: One fare per capita, for the round trip; tickets to be sold, and good going from August 23 to ws, returning September 6, inclusive” This again suggests the question of extending the Mmit for return. The officers of the transportation committee are now in cor- respondence with the proper authorities | with this aim in view. | Col. Henry Street of the first regiment of | Louisiana, with headquarters at New Or- |leans, writes to the public comfort com- mittee asking that accommodations be pro- | vided for the ladies and friends of the regi- ment. As this regiment is one thousand strong, it will be accompanied by about one thousand followers. c. B, Frase, adjutant of the first Iowa brigade, writing from Garden Grove, lowa, wants accommodation for the friends and jadies who will come to Washington with the brigade. He also states that a ma- jority of their party will remain in Wash- as titey have had enough experience to know that the most inopportune time to see a city is | | when it is crowded. A. D. Campbell, major of the third bat- talion of the third regiment, Illinois, also writes for quarters for ladies and guests of Quarters have been provided for these commands and they will be duly notified of the action of the committee. Fatare Plans. ‘The executive committee will hold its BIAK, MONDAY, JUNE Ii, [wounded. All thvee are Slavs. The trouble weekly meeting tonight, and several things of consequence are to be discussed. One Will be the question of an operatic venture, which, it is expected, will retrieve the lack of success which, because of bad weather and other causes, attended the productions of the Mikado. ‘The National ideal Opera Company has generously volunteered to lend itself to the occasion, which means that the performances will be well done. ‘The subject of the encampment ball will also be discussed. This, it is proposed, shall be helu in Convention Hall and the Marine Band will furnish the music. The matter of finances will be talked about, and @ meeting of general interest is expected. reece pose THE NATIONAL FENCIBLES. Preparations for Its Benefit—It Will Go by Way of Atlanta. The executive committee having charge of the testimonial entertainment to be siven the National Fencibles at the Academy of Music next Monday night held a meeting at the armory yesterday afternoon. Reports from the subcommittees showed a gratify- ing condition of things. The program to be presented will be one of the most attractive that has ever been offered to a Washing- ton public, and the sale of tickets already is very large. The Fencibles are drilling with commendable regularity, and confidently ex- pect to bring back the prize. The team se- lected is belleved to be one that cannot be beaten. The command will leave Washing- ton on June 2), at 1043 p. m., over the Richmond and Danville road, and arrive at Little Rock (via Atlanta, Birmingham and Memphis) Sunday, July 1, at noon. This arrangement was only concluded today. The transportation lines interested had authorized a rate of one fare for the round trip. The competition, therefore, was based on schedule time, service rendered, &c., and the fact that the Richmond and Danville agreed to handle the company on its Wash- ington and Southwestern vestibuled lim- ited train, as well as the desire of the com- pany to stop at Atlanta on Its return trip, determined the company in its choice. -_o FIGHT IN THE COKE REGION. One Striker Killed and Two Wow at Lemont, A fight between deputies and strikers oc- curred yesterday morning at Lemont, Pa. One striker was killed and two were fatally led was started Saturday afternoon by an at- tack by the strikers on four American workmen, John Delaney, Oliver Attleby, John Britt and James Furlough, who live at Leisenring, and have been working at the Frick Coke Company's valley works for some time. They went to New Haven Saturday afternoon to take the Leisenring electric railroad for home. As soon as they alighted from the train at New Haven a mob of several hundred strikers beat them and put tags on them bearing the inscription “Blacklegs,” also coverig them with chalk marks. The #trikers then marched their prisoners to all the works on the Mne from New Haven south, holding them up as decorated samples of “scabs” for the revilings and abuse of strikers’ every where. The Frick Coke Company was informed of the perilous position of its workmen. Fidia Deputy Matthew Allen and six men were sent to New Haven on the evening train. They found the men yesterday, morning. | Many of the strikers had revolvers and all carried clubs. They moved against the deputies, who retreated under a shower of, clubs and stones. Riding up to the advancing crowd of miners, Deputy Allen told them to go back, saying he did not want any trouble, and there would be trouble if he or his men’ were attacked and injured. The answer to Allen was a general yell, and one of the strikers covered him with his pistol and fired. The shot was a close shave for the top of Allen's head. The | deputies opened fire together and the stik- | ers stood to it and fought gamely. The tipples of the Brubaker and Coleman mines, near Berlin, Pa., were completely de- stroyed by dynamite Saturday night. Mine owners in the vicinity have become alarm- ed and have asked the sheriff for protection. see LAST DAYS AT WEST POINT. | Merit Roll of This Ye: Class. * Yesterday was what is known among the United States Mil'tary Academy cadets as| “Last Sunday.” The Rev.

Since the mass mecting at Cooper Union, New York, on May 22, under the auspices of the Manhattan Single Tax Club, where resolutions were adopted condemning the democratic party for not carrying out its pledges concerning the tariff, the leaders of the movement have been in constant con- ference. As a result, a petition has been prepare] by a committee, of which Henry George and Thomas G. Shearman are mem- bers, and is now ready for circulation, ad- yocating the collection of all public revenues from the value of land. Five million copies are to be printed and spread broadcast through the country, and then, when signed, they will be presented to the legislatures of the different states, +00 Progress of Kelly's Commonwealers.

A serious accident occurred yesterday af- ternoon on the Macon (Ga.) and Indian Springs electric car line, about three miles | north of the city.

They Swarmed Over Jersey Excur- stonists and Frightened the Wer A swarm of seventeen-year locusts took rossession of a Long Branch train near Avenel, N. J., yesterday morning, and for a time there was every prospect of the pas- seugers having to abandon th> coaches and let the lecusts retain them. The train which experienced this unusual trouble was No. 987 of the Pennsylvania ratiroad. It left Jersey City at 10 o'clock. The warm weather tempted hundreds to visit the coast towns, and the train was heavily loaded. The heat had caused almost every window to be opcned, and when the train came to Avenel the passengers leaned out to look at the hundreds of thousands of the locusts on the ground and in the air. They would have been satisfied with this, but the locusts were not. Before the Passengers Were aware what was happening, the pests had swarmed up the sides of the cars, and through the windows and dcors inside. Women scyeamal, and stood on the ceais with their skirts drawn up, 60 as to avold immediate contact with the crawling ob- jects. They soon had to let go their skirts and pay undivided attention to keeping “the lccusts from their hats and faces. The more timid passengers started for the doors, but at that moment the car started. The rush of wind seemed to disconcert the pests. Those on the outsides o* the cars dropped off, and those inside clung closely to the scats or. floors, and were soon thrown out of the windows by the train hands who started the cars. es PLUNGED INTO A RIVER. An Express Train Wrecked and Burn- ed in Manitoba; A Winnipeg special dated the 10th say: A bad accident occurred last night to the west-bound express on the Canadian Pacifie | &t Mattawa river, about fifteen miles west of Fort William, Fires had destroyed the | trestle bridge, and when in the center of that structure it gave way.

The wrecked cars took tire and almost the en- tire ‘train was burned. Ars. Barker was drowned. She was a first-class passenger en route from Elkhorn, Manitoba, from Okario. Express Messenger Mart Brown of To- ronto is missing, and is believed to be at the bottom of the river. Fireman Whitehead was badly hurt and may not recover. Engineer Elms was slightly injured. Mrs. Bickie of Middleville. Mich., en route to Red Deer, several others, were slightly injured. ‘The train was running at a high rate of speed when the accident occurred. |All mail matter, including that from Montreal and Toronto posted on Thursday, was burned, as was also all express matter and baggage. MET DEATH WHILE DANCING. The Body of the Woman Found Float- ing Off Fort Wadsworth Identified. According to the identification of husband and brother-in-law, the body of a woman found Saturday floating in the water off Fort Wadsworth, New York bay, is that of Mrs. Isaac Newton Lemon, who lived at 0S 6th avenue, New York. 4 number of valuable rings and a gold chain bracelet | were found on the body and served to aid in the identification. Mrs. Lemon lost her life by a peculiar ac- cident. While dancing on the pavillion of Ulmer Park Hotel, Long Island Beach, Mrs. Lemon and her partner lost their balance and fell into the water. She disappeared at once, and it was thought at tae ume that she must have been renderéd unconscious by striking the rail. All efforts to find the body were unavailing uatil it wes recovered y many miles from the place where the accident occurred. — THE STRIKE. FATE OF It Depends on the Conference at Co- lumbus. The fate of the mine strike now rests with strikers at Columbus, Ohio, A committee to draft a new scale Was appointed Satur- day. No agreement was reached and the convention adjourned until today. The Iowa men settled their troubles in a ‘conference at Oskaloosa, and strikers will return to work. In Colorado three mines were started without opposition, ahd in Maryland the miners have been thotoughly cowed. Strikers are still violent in Ohio and West Virginia, and there are fears of trouble in various parts of the Pennsylvania regions. The Altoona, Pa., conference wi de- clared offff because the operators refused to recognize the Miners’ Union. BISHOP HERVEY DEAD. One of the Revisers of the Old Testa- ment. The Hon. and Rt. Rev.

Coroner Patterson held an inquest at the jail Saturday afternoon in the case of Geo. Wilson, the prisoner whose death in the prison Friday night resulted from violence. Wilson lived in the vicinity of the govern- ment printing office, and a little more than @ month ago he was arrested and sent down for four months on a charge of as- sault. Friday afternoon he was in the cor- ridor getting his usual exercise, and while he was thus engaged Daniel Myers, another colored prisoner, was oiling the floor in his cell. Wilson paced the corridor directly in front of the cells several times, and then he stopped at his own cell door, where Dan Myers was working. “Oil that tloor up nice, Dan,” he said. “I’m a gentleman, | am.” In a playful way, so the evidence showed, Myers got up and grabbed Wilson and the latter broke away and ran. He only had to run about fifteen feet to turn out of the corridor, and when he endeavored to turn he slipped and fell, his head striking against the wall with such force that his skull was fractured. But he was conscious when his fellow-prisoners took him to his cell. They bathed his head and did what they thought best for him instead of reporting the oc- currence. About 7:30 o'clock in the even- ing the patient grew worse and became un- conscious. Two hours later Dr. McWilliams was at the patient's bedside, but Wilson was dying and nothing could be done for Pirathat would save him. He died about 11 o'clock, and his body Undertaker Was taken from the prison by resi emorrhage and that there yore a Haig ed —— skull. 3 ie jury decided that the man's death resulted from an accident, and the body Was turned over to relatives for burial. —___ BAPTIST SOCIAL UNION.

Senator Jones says he has hearé nothing of the protest from Germany against this additional duty, which is reported to have been made.

I told them that 1 did not know, but that the guard had steyped us. The guard then said t the two men who had first come up could go in. 1 then asked him again why | 1 could not go in and he said that I was | not dressed properly, 1 think that it ts a | Shame for a working man to be imposed | Upon in such @ manner before the public. i 1 have been a citizen and a resident of the | District all my life, and to be driven out of the government grounds like a sneak thief and to have the whole public frown upon me ts a shame.

The announcement in the Italian chamber of deputies, by the minister of foreign af- fairs, that the United States had consented to arbitrate the claims of Italy aguinst Brazil, is at least premature, and the ad- Vances in that direction after all may come to nothing, if there should be undue in- Stistence. President Cleveland was invited to arbitrate these claims. Me was not dis- inclined to do 80, provided the request came from both parties. Lut Brazil, at that Ume, was engaged in a costly internal war, and the intimation was conveyed to the Italian government that the United States would prefer that the attempt to collect these claims be not made until the Brazil- fans were in such condition as not to be seriously embarrassed financially by their | payment. | Notwithstanding the Italian premier’s an- j Rouncement, there is reason to believe that this time has not yet come, for thus far the Brazilian government has not seconded the a for arbitration, and until it does the President will probably delay his ac- ceptance. ————_ +e Army Orders.
