RAILROAD CONCESSIONS Mr. Chapin Brown, chairman of the citi- zens’ Pythian committee, and Mr. George E. Emnfons, secretary to the same com- mittee, in speaking with The Star man to- day both gave vent to enthusiastic prophe- sies as to the prospects of Pythianism. These officers of the citizens’ committee have taken hold of the matter with both hanes, have shed their coats and are mak- ing an application of the vast experience | Which they have gained on other fields of } action. This is about the way in which Chairman Chapin Brown puts it: “I have always entertained admiring re- spect for the working genius and the labor- ing talents of our business men, but the way in which they have taken hold of this i m Chapin Brown.

Chairman Chapin Brown has an interest- ing history. He is an old resident of Wash- ington, havigg come fo live here in 1861, with his father, Samuel P. Brown, for- merly one of the members of the board of public works under the territorial form of government of the District. Mr. Chapin Brown was born in the town of Orland, Hancock county, Me., in the year 1855. He was educated in the District, at Columbian College, from which institution he has re- celved the degrees of A. B. and L. B., graduating from the law department in the year 1877, since which time he has been in the active practice of the law. He has a very large civil practice. Th most prominent civil case in which he ha: been engaged was that of Walbridge agt. ,Cammack, involving the title to a large part of Mount Pleasant of several hundred thousand dollars in value. He has been also engaged in a number of prominent jeriminal cases, including the case of Frank K. Ward, who was tried for and ac- quitted of the murder of Maurice Adler about five years ago. From the year 18st to 1884 he Was a member of the board of public school trustees, and is at the present | time a member of the board of trustees of the girls’ reform school by recent appoint- ment of President Cleveland. He has large financial interests in the District, being a large holder of real estate in what was formerly. known as the village of Mount Pleasant, but which is now practi- cally a part of Washington. He has done much to benefit and improve this section of the District. Mr. George E. Emmons is also bubbling over with enthusiasm, and was sure that it was going to be one of the very biggest skows that Washington had ever been treated to. The Subcommittees. The subcommittees determined on by the central committee are as_ follows: Finance, transportation, reception of Su- preme Lodge, decorations, public comfort, camp and grounds, information, hall and decorations for Supreme Lodge, auditing, entertainment, music, horses and carriages, press, reception to uniform rank, drill and grounds, public order, escort, privileges and advertising, gtand ahd President's stands, fireworks. . | The duties of these committees will be about the same as those which had the management of the Grand Army celebra- tion, and it is thought that much of the material which made those committees so stecessful will be represented on these coin- mittees. The names of the committeemen will be settled on at the session of the central committee which is to be held at Ve Secretary Geo. E. Emmons, the Warder building this afternoon. It is also proposed to increase the mem- bership of the citizens’ executive commit- tee by the addition of several gentlemen who are promirent in business circles. There is also to be a meeting of the Py- thian executive committee on this evening at the Warder building, and it is thought that there will also be a conference meeting between the citizens and Pythians. Chairman George W. Heisley of the Py- thian transportation committee, who, with Gen. John E. Smith, has been labering for an extension of the time limit by ihe rail- road companies from September 6 to Sep- tember 15, has had his efforts crowned with success. This is one of the matters of the most vital importance to the success of the encampment.

ABOUT GEORGETOWN Citizen. The Body of Wm. Munn Recovered Early This Morning — Other Items of Interest. Saturday evening last shortly after 8 o'clock. While talking to members of ais tamily he complained of feeling sick at his stomach and feared that he was going to die. As he had frequently had such at- tacks before his fears were made light of. He then went into a room to le down while some simple medicine was being pre- pared, and five minutes later was dead. ‘The end came without a perceptible strug- gle. Mr. Duvall was in his seventy-seventh year. Deceased before and during the war flourished as one of the leading founders of the District. He built the Duvall fcundry at the corner of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and 80th street, and there carried on an extensive business. Many government contracts were entered into. ‘When the war came on he was furflishing the iron work for the Treasury Depart- ment. Difficulties arose in procuring the crude material. Iron went up to a figure so high that the completion of the con- tract at the original price became impos- sible. The Secretary of the Treasury was appealed to in the matter, and it is suid he authorized the completion of the work, agreeing to pay the advanced price. Mr. Duvall put all his money in the contract @nd borrowed on his plant. The govern- ment never allowed the advance, and Mr. Duvall, as a busiress man, inanelally wrecked. He then pushed his claim until everything he had went. He never re- covered. Of late years he has been de- voting his time to inventions. He was married twice, his second wife surviving him. Mr. Duvall always commanded the respect of the community. The funeral took place this afternoon, the interment being made at Holy Drowned in Little River. The Little river, to the west of Analos- tan Island, was, Inst evening, the ~cene of another drowning acctdent. Robert Munn, twenty-three years of age, a butcher, and the scn of Daniel Munn, the engineer at the National Hotel, was, this time, the victim. He had gone in swimming with some com- panions. After remaining in the water for some time, they retired to the shore. Munn stayed out and soon became weary. On finally attempting to make for the shore, he discovered he was completely exhausted. He manage to keep his head up ‘or a time, but secmed to be able to make no ad- vance. He cried out his coadition and the answer from the shor me back: “Hurry, man, you're all right.” The next moment Munn was scen to go down, then up, down, up, and then down again for the last time. Swimmers then went out to render agsist- ance, but the earthly help then would have been of no avail. Munn was drowned. The body was dived for again and again, but it could not be located. Benj. Turney and brother, fishermen who have caught many drowned men, were notified and they went to work at once with grappling hooks. They dragged until darkness prevented. At sunrise this morning they again went on their errand of recovery and at 5 o'clock located and brought the body to the sur- face. The young man resided with Mr. Turner near the college wall. For several years he was in the employ of Mr. Michael Weaver. An Officer A: ulted. ‘Wm. Thompson, better known as “Billy Buttons,” on Saturday night attacked Omi- cer Curren on Water street near 32d, brutal- ly striking him in the face several times. One of the blows is thought to have been struck with a blunt instrument, as it wa: received with such force that the jaw bone was fractured. Thompson was caught late in the night on Cherry street by Officer Trussell, Saturday night at 12 o'clock closed Mr. Curren’s career as a police officer, he hav- ing been given his dismissal a few days before. His injuries are therefore doubly regretted. Dr. Mayfield dressed the wounds received. Thompson's assault is said to have been instigated by an old grudge. Notes. At the picnic participated in by the teach- ers and pupils of Wormley School the sixth and seventh grade boys played a match game of base ball. The younger team came out victorious by a score of 15 to 4. ‘The feature of the game was the excellent bat- tery work of McCoy and Boyd.

Play Beg! of the Street. To the Editor of The Evening Star: There are in Washington somewhere in the neighborhood of 80,000 colored people. There is no sweeter music in the world than that of the voice of the negro, and certainly no music can please the ordinary | taste as does the music of negro melodies. with a voice, is it not possible that out of all that number at least one quartet of male votces can be found and trained to sing on the streets of the capital on pleas- ant nights? Some active, enterprising col- ored musician could organize and train such | a street singing quartet, with a repertoire of vocal gems, so to speak, including popu- lar songs and ballads and negro hymns and | melodies, that would make money hand | over fist, besides delighting large and ap- | preciative audiences all over the town. | We have never had anything in this line | commensurate with the material on hand, | and it is no credit to our colored population that they are permitting all this talent | to go to waste.

Small boys, white and colored, occupied most of the time of Judge Miller's court this morning. One of the boys, a good- looking youth, fourteen years oid, who gave his name as Thomas Stone, was arraigned on a charge of incorrigibility, and he plead guilty. Thomas {s an orphan boy, and about four months ago he was turned over to the board of children’s guardians. He was then sent to Virginia, where he was given a good home. But he was not satisfied with life in the country, and so he left that home and started this way. When he reached here he went to the home of his uncle and the latter was willing to provide for him. But even then he was not satisfied, and Saturday he robbed his uncle of some paper and sold i. Policeman Wannell found him asleep on a doorstep about 1 o'clock this morning and locked him up. : “Have you any home?” Judge Miller asked him, when he appeared on the stand. “Only the home my uncle gave me,” was his response. “Why don’t you stay there?” “Oh, I got tired of it.” His case will be disposed of tomorrow. Harry Gray, the thirteen-year-old boy Who robbed his employer, F. W. Bolgiane, the florist, of about $17 Saturday, was next heard. The charge against him was petty larceny, and he said “guilty.” Harry was left in charge of the floral establishment Saturday, and when the proprietor returned that Harry had disappeared and taken the money. His arrest in Baltimore followed, and the officers recovered from him $135 and articles he had purchased. s Detective Carter brought him here yester- uy. Judge Miller sentenced Harry to the re- form school during minority. Four small coivred boys were next in line, and the charge against them was larceny. Gustave Seville, another boy, was robbed. He had $3 in his pocket and the other boys relieved him of it. Explanations of every imaginable kind were made, some plausible and some otherwise, but they were unable to convince the court that they were guiltless, and they were fined {10 or thirty days each. “These boys are going to be sent out in the country,” said the father of one of them. “Has the we boy been here before?” the court asked. “Yes, sir.” 'hen you will have to pay the fine be- fore he is sent to the country.” Edward Chatterton, the small youth who lost his suit of clothes at the bathing beach Friday, appeared against a colored boy named Joseph Washington, against whom there was a charge of larceny. Joe was found in the Center Market en- deavoring to dispose of the stolen sult of clothes and shoes in opposition to the sec- ond-hand deulers in the vicinity of the market. He tried to prove that he did not steal the clothes, but us the proof was against him Judge Miller gave him two months. Edward Berry, a colored boy who robbed another boy named Maurice Brooks, was: sent down for two month Joe: Washington, who the bathing beach ‘robbery,was brought into court a second time. This time he was charged, with a boy named Ernest Fen- wick, with having stolen a $$ umbrella, which they sold for 25 cents. A sentence of sixty days was imposed. For stealing an ofl can belonging to En- gineer Hannan a boy named Daniel Wilson was given thirty days. Precinct Detective Barnes of the second precinct had three small colored boys in court for robbing the store of E. M. P. Har- ris yesterday. The boys gave their names as Alfred Tolliver, Alpert Washington and Daniel Johnson. When arrested they were selling cigars from a box, having spent $15 they had taken from the store. They were fined $1U or thirty days in jail each. Presley Thornton, a small colored boy who went away from home at an early hour this morning with no capital, concluded he would get a start for the Week in some way, either by fair or foul means. He fall- ed to discover any fair means and so he went to the front door of the house of Mr. Klopfer aud stole two copies of a morning paper. His bad start got him in trouble, and now he will live in the jail for two months. sentenced for ——.——— WILD HORSES AS GAME. How It is Proposed to Capture and Kill Them in the Northwest. From the San Francisco Examtne J. G. Brown, a prominent business man of this city, has returned from the north, after several weeks’ absence.

The flesh wili be rendered of its oil and the residue, with the bones and hoofs, will be made into a fertilizer. “The hides, that have always a market value, will be saited, and the hair, with we manes and tails, will be used in upholstery work. A portion of the meat will be com- pressed for use as chicken food. It is esti- mated that in Oregon, Washington, Mon- tana, Nevada and idano there are at pres- ent w00,000 half-breed wild horses for which no market can now be found.” The dispatch adds that the industry of re- ducing tne horses to oil, upholstery, ete. has come to be considered so important that the company proposes to build a new abat- toilr at Portland. Another dispatch gives more details. “Several parties, both here and on Puget Sound,” it says, “have been figuring for some weeks on slaughtering the horses. There are large numbers of half-breed and cayuse horses eating the grass on stock ranges In eastern Oregon and Idaho which cannot be sold anywhere at any price. It is thought that thousands of these horses can be bought from $2 to $4 a head, and that they might be slaughtered at a small profit.

Proposed Trip of Company C, Fourth Battalion, to Sparta: re—Small Notes of Interest. Undoubtedly .the chief topic under dis- cussion in National Guard circles, with the possible exception of the interstate drill, during the last few days has been the new armory to be erected within the next three months on the large. lot at Sth and L streets northwest, adjoining Convention Hall. The idea meets the approval of every member of the brigade, officers and men alike, who are happy to learn that at last Gen. Ordway’s command is to be properly quartered. While the new building will not equal in fine finish a number of the palace armorles in sevéral other cities, it will be perfect from a practical standpoint. One of its chief features is in the fact that the en- tire brigade will be condensed and not scattered in different portions of the city as at present. Rapid assembly will then be feasible, and all property will be located j at one spot. In stormy weather or on per- fect evenings it will be decidedly conven- jent to merely walk up a flight of stairs in order to reach the rifle gallery. It is the intention to make the gallery the finest in the country. It is to be furnished with not less than twenty stationary targets and a number of interesting features, in- cluding moving targets. Convention Hall will afford ample drill ground, in which several companies can Maneuver at the same time, and it is spacious enough to admit of regimental drills and dress parades whenever ordered. The streets in the vicinity of the new armory are also unusually well suited for drill purposes, and can be used to good advantage. All in all the District of Co- lumbia National Guard is to be congratulat- ed at the prospect of a new home. Young, but Enterp: That recently organized and unusually enterprising military organization, official- ly designated as company C, fourth bat- talion, but generally known as the Camp- bell Light Infantry, is wide awake these days and nights, at its handsomely equipped armory. The Hampton Guards of the pic- turesque and progressive little city of Spartansburg, S. C., have asked the Camp- bells to participate in an encampment of ithe state troops to be held in that town {July 2 to 12, inclusive, and the invitation has practically been accepted. The en- campment is an idea of the Hampton ; Guards,and they are backed in it by the state authorities, It is expected that 1,500 mem- bers of the state militia will be in camp. One thousand dollars in cash prizes are to be awarded for competitive drills, purses have been raised for contests in markman- ship and handsome medais provided for in- dividual competitive drills. In addition t the above arrangements have been made for three military balls, base ball and ten- nis matches, excursions to Blue Ridge mountains and a Chautauqua meeting. The Washington boys, unless some un- foreseen event occurs,will leave Washington via the R. and D. R. R. at 104% p.m. Mon- day, July 2, and expect to arrice at Spar- tansburg the following day at 11:55 o'clock. They will travel in a special car. During the week the local soldiers intend to enter the individual drills and shooting matches, as well as make Visits to Charleston, Co- lumbia, Macon and Augusta. The boys will carry regulation National Guard fatigue and full dress uniforms and also white hel- mets and white duck trousers. Returning the company expects to reach Washington on the evening of July 15. Sergeant J. 3.

SOME HUNTERS AND THOROUGHBREDS Success of the Upperville Colt Club's Fourth Exhibition. THE AWARD OF PRIZES Six,” the home of Col. R. H. Dulany, near Upperville, Va., another of the annual colt shows which during the last few years have attracted the attention of horsemen in Washington and other cities. The re- gion is one famous as the source of some of the best stock that has been known in the horse world, and in war times there were raised in and about Upperville some of the best cavalry battalions of the confederate army. It is distinctively a blue grass coun- try, and the long slopes of the Blue Ridge, sheltered and warm, and abounding in springs of the purest and coldest water, afford all that is ideal in pasturage for the lover and breeder of fine horseflesh. The great natural advantages of the two counties of Fauquier and Loudoun have, of course, stimulated interest in horse- breeding, afd there are scores of farmers within a ten-mile radius of Upperville that make it their principal business to turn off every season from one to three or four erack trotters or thoroughbreds. From this vicinity have come many of the best fox-hunters ridden by the chase-loving peo- ple of society at the capital, and for depth of lung, muscle, bottom and general good looks they are not to be beaten. Probably the cream of the horse farms of the Blue idge comes to Washington, but Balti- more and New York are lively competitors for the best animals that can be found up there, so that there has been an object not only in producing good stock, but also in training it. It is safe to say that in the New York horse market no region is more favorably thought of for quick draft, hack- ney or saddle animals. This is due to one feature not always present in even the best horse countries. That is the very gen- eral habit of the Virginia farmer to ride pang he goes away from home rather than rive. He has always been fond of the hunter, and the thoroughbred is to him the best horse that ever drew breath. He gets a good one as soon as he can and he does not allow the stiffness of the price to take the edge off his appetite. Having acquired kind of a horse he wants he trains him refully as if he had an immortal soul. | All the gaits known to the curriculum of | hurse custure are taught him and not the slightest point in his development is over- looked. It is one of the rarest treats in the use of a saddle horse to get up on one of these well-trained Virgin! thorough- breds and find that he knows his business as well as a human being could. Ali his gaits are at your command. It is another case of touching the button to see some- thing do ell the rest. A tap of the crop on his neck brings you any gait you want, trot, walk, dog trot, or canter. The Colt Club. The Upperville Colt Club is not a very old organization, this being its fourth year of existence, but it embraces all the best known horsemen in the mountain parts of Fauquier and Loudoun counties. Col. R. H. Dulany is the fostering patron of the club, and to him is due its formation and success. The secretary is Maj. P. 8. Goch- nauer, one of the leading citizens of Fau- quier, and the chief marshalship devolves upon Rev. H. Ayre, a gentleman who combines with a good old-fashioned fear of the Lord a thorough love of a fine horse. All through the two days of the colt show Mr. Ayre was everywhere ent, mounted on a splendid example of the park seddle class, directing all the ar- Tangements connected with the judging of the 200 entries in the various classes, and aiways in the most trying situations show- ing a good nature and judgment that were fairly contagious, The show is held in a splendid grove on Col. Dulany’s farm, where the blue grass is ankle deep. A half- mile track runs in an oval under the mag- nificent old and abundant shade everywhere blesses man and beast. It is putting it mildly to that the people turn out to see the colt yw. They come from every part of the two counties; they come from Richmond, from New York, from Baitimore and from Washington. Upward of 5,000 people attended the show on the two days of the exhibition last week. The gate receipts were something over $1,200, which is pretty good for a little horse fair way out in the country, where Population is not dense and the usual features of a fair were wholly wanting. That 5,000 men and women should get to- gether to see a purely and distinctively horse show, where there are no races and no “chances,” speaks well for the love of horse in old Virginia. The association hangs up good premiums for the encouragement of exhibitors, the total this year amounting to #52. premium list shows the fondness of Vir- ginia horsemen for riding and driving horses. There are thirteen classes, of which but two open the gates to heavy draft stock. The rest are given up to ponies, hackneys, trotting or quick draft-gaited saddiers. hunters, park saddicrs, thoroughbreds and matched carriage teams. In, but two of these ‘classes are exhibitors required to show pedigrees—hackneys and breds. The show ts clearly a colt show, in- tended to represent the best results of breeding, care and training. Sucklings, one, two, three and four-year-olds are shown in every class. Except a special class of hunters, five years old and over, mare or gelding, carrying 180 pounds (for which class the highest premium of the — peer gs ag] to first and $20 to sec- ond), al in the park saddlers, nothing over four years old is admitted. Various Features. From start to finish there was a good show this year. In the matched pony class R. Hunter Dulany had an unusually pretty span of gray cobs about twelve hands high. A better match, with their creamy gray coats and black markings, it would be hard to find. In the riding pony class Lit- tle Jack Dulany, the heir to the late Hal Dulany’s milMon or two, appeared and took a blue ribbon with a neat little East Indian something like eleven hands The hackney class was not well filled. But two or three examples were shown, and these were the recent purchases just brought into the section. Henry who is usually weil represented at the colt show, made no entries this year, wae | to @ press of business, which preven his giving his personal attention to the matter. There was lively competi matched teams, and some fine turnouty were on the track. In this class the judged ruled on harness as well as and everything had to be in order. Probably the best match seen was that of R. Hun- ter Dulany, a fine big pair of Cleveland bays, which justly took a first. Jesse Ty- son of Baltimore showed a stylish pair of | Toans, bred on his training farm at Berry- ville, Clarke county. They were handled well by Mr. Tyson's superintendent, Chas. Boxwell, and received a second premium. Mr. Ayre competed in this class with a big rangy pair of Hambletonians, which, with a little more training, would have crowded close up to the Dulany bsys. These were in the five-year-old quick-draft or carriage class. When the wgrltegrteay of came on it was soon apparent t Joe Lodge of Loudoun had the start of all the others. Turner Ross, owner of the famous stallion Shen- andoah, got second. When the thorough- breds were reached general interest quick- ened, and the grand stand filled up rapidly with a fluttering assemblage of pretty girls and well-bronzed young men, all keenly intent on exploiting the merits of their favorite horses. The hurdles on the first day were four feet high; on the sec- ond, five. The entries in the jumping class were more numerous than In any of the others, and brought out some extremely creditable work. Robert Neville acted as Starter to the general satisfaction of ull interested. He was also the exhibitor of several beautiful fox hunters and a fine thoroughbred stallion On the last day there was a novel exhibition of four-horse draft teams. h team was loaded with four tons of sand and the wheel: ere lock- ed. The judges, taking form, condition, har- ness, handling, and how well the teains were broken, awarded the first premium = Harry Sempers, and the second to Col. ulany. Fair Judging. Below is a list of the awards in the vari- ous classes. No awards were made in the hackney class. Very little dissent from the There took place last week at “Number | decisions of the judges was to be heard. The way to win a blue ribbon was simply to have a better horse than anybody else, and the judges throughout were as fair and thorough as it would seem possibile for men to be. For instance, in the three-year-old hunter class Mr. Waddell entered a gray colt that jargely Percheron in his an- cesiry. This colt Jumped every hurdie with- out a touch, and the judges gave him tne blue ribbon over one of Rovert Nevilie’s best fox hunters—a horse that is worth $1,s00— enough to buy a dozen colts like Mr. Wad- dell’s. Some or the competitors objected to giving the first honor to a Percheron. “He beat you all. What are you going to do about it?” replied one of the judges. “Rule him out! He's no hunter!” two or three. “That should have Gone in the first place, but nobody objected, without Special complaint we are not going to ques- on breeding. That is for you to do.’ Waddell’s gray colt got the blue ribbon on his work, just as he ought to if he was to be Jet in at all, Awards of Prizes.
