If so, will you please give it to me. Yesterday afternoon rain fell quite heavily for awhile, but at as late an hour | as 7 o'clock cars were still running with many seats so wet that passengers stood | up rather than suffer the uncleanly incon- | venience of sitting down in the gathered moisture. It would be but a little thing for the company to have a man go through the cars with a dry rag or a handful of cotton- waste at each of the term Can you not | prevail upon the management (o have this | done? —_>— Jonadab Election.

Services in memory of departed brethren were held last night at Odd Fellows’ Hall. ‘They were beautiful and impressive. Gentle deeds and kind words of those who had gone were called up, making all memories fresher. Expressions of grand eulogy were Pronounced. Every name brought up was laden down with flowers of brotherly re- membrances. When the religious exer- cises were over, which terminated with prayers by the pastor of the West Street Presbyterian Church, Rev. W. C. Alex- ander, Dr. Thomas J. Jones recited Homer Greene's delicately pretty poem, and Queen Victoria's favorite, “The Pathway of Gold.” Past Grand Master Geo. Bennett and Brother Morrison made the exercises more interesting with their expressed thoughts, eulogistically tempered. To Make Laws. Mr. E. C. Ford of Georgetown, the presi- dent of the District Cabinet of the National Union, a fraternal organization, composed of 48,000 members, has been elected senator by the 2,700 members of the 25 councils in the District, to go to Lookout Mountain Inn, Tenn., and assist in the framing of laws and regulations to govern the order. The senators will convene on July 16, and remain in session for five days. Drum Corps. Next Tuesday at 8:40 o'clock organiza- tign of the Peck Memorial Drum and Bugle Corps will be effected. The necessary num- ber of members has already been secured. It is predicted that a rivalry productive of excellent results, will spring up between this and similar organizations of the District. The Peck boys have determined to win first place and they will strive until all others are but followers, they say. Rev. Alvin Smith, who has successfully enthused his younger congregation many times be- fore, is at the head of this project. Notes. Market Master Williams is recovering from his attack of congestion of the liver, which for some time has so indisposed him. There is considerable anxiety felt Ly the residents in the vicinity of 34th and Q streets over the thought that the sanitary officers will do away with the two pumps, which, they say, are to them ”yesteniay est was the natal day of Sergt. Volkman’s wife and child, and in celebra- tion thereof there was last night a big family reunion. There were present sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, daughters, sons and grandchildren of both sexes and all ages. —_—~ SOFT COAL WANTED. The Effect of the Strike Felt in This City. Washington is suffering from a scarcity of soft coal. its kind which has ever visited the city. This statement is made on the authority of the coal people and steamboat men at the river front. All the steamer companies with which The Star man communicated are running their craft with hari coal. Mr. George P. Johnson, agent of the Washing- ton Steamboat Company, told the reporter this morning that the conditions for the past month had been bad, that they had steadily grown wérse, and that the Prospect continued dark. He stated that because of the famine the T. V. Arrow- smith and the Wakefield had been burning hard coal, and if the ferry boats were not already burning it it was but the question of a few hours when they would have to come to this. He stated that the firemen and engineers were discontented because of the additional exertion demanded of them, and speed in steamboating was neces- sary to profits at this season, when garden truck and perishable commodities are com- ing into market. The ferry dock had very little soft coal on it, and this pile was being sparingly used, but was fast dwindling not- withstanding. The Samuel J. Pentz is working on hard coal, but yesterday Capt. E. 8. Randall procure} a small jot of the soft article from Stepnenson Bros. for vse in the furnaces of the regular river packet Harry Randall. . The Norfolk and Washington propellers are running with soft cual, but the reagon of this is that that company fas arly contract with the Pocahontas Cual Com- pany, and receives its fuel at Norfolk. Mr. Stephenson of the coal firm of Ste- phenson Bros., which firm furnishes a ma- jority of the tons of bituminous coal along the water front, said that he had but enough on hand to furnish regular cus- tomers in small tots, and this vas now about used up. Me had received notice from the Consolidation Coal Company that a canal barge wouli arrive at Washington toaay, and that coal would continue to come in from that time onward. How true this prophecy is cannot now be told. The great four-mast21 schooner John K. Souther, which came down from :he Penob- scot with 1,400 tons "f ice to the Ameri- can Ice Company, is discharged und await- ing an opportunity to coal for the return trip. The four-master Young Brothers, from the Kennebec, which brought down but about 1,000 tons to the Great Falls Ice Company because of low water in the Ken- nebec, left last night for the ice fields of the north direct, without a return freight. This is unprecedented. When ice is brought to Washington the freight is based upon taking coal away. The Bertha Dean and four other big ocean schooners are lying at the Washington docks in midstream waiting for a return cargo. Much dissatis- faction is expressed with the situation. —___—__- THE BOARD OF TRADE ‘To Discuss the Proposed Bond Issue at Willard H: A meeting of the board of trade will be held in Willard Hall Friday afternoon next, the 29th instant, at 2 o'clock, to consider the bill proposed by the District Commis- stoners, and now pending in Congress, au- thorizing the issue by the District of Co- lumbia of $7,500,000 of 3 per cent bonds, for the purpose of perfecting and extending the system of sewers and streets, thus secur- ing the best sanitary condition possible and laying the foundation for preserving the uniformity and attractiveness of the streets throughout the District of Columbia. As this is a matter of vital importance to the District, involving the interests of all classes of our citizens alike, and the future welfare of the national capital, it is expected that every member of the board of trade will endeavor to be present at the meeting. _—- Pythian Committees. Two Pythian encampment, meetings are scheduled for today. The finance commit- tee is to meet at the office of its chairman, Mr. Frank B. Noyes, at 3 o'clock, and the public comfort committee, of which Mr. J. H. Mitchell is the chairman, will hold a meeting at the Hotel Johnson at 8 o'clock this evening. The meeting of the finance com- mittee will be one of marked importance. The committee will organize for active work, and then proceed to carry out the ob- jects of its organization. The committee- men will map out a plan of campaign for | collecting the revenue which will be neces- sary to make the encampment of the Uni- form Rank, Knights of Pythias, a success. The pubiic comfort committee will have several matters of consequence to discuss, and it is thought that there will be a full attendance of members. —_— —>—— Charged With Assa: Detectives Carter and Boyd last evening arrested Frederick Wiggington, twenty- lone years old, on a charge of attempted felonious assault on Violet Kinsey, the six- year-old child of Edwin F, Kinsey. The Wiggington and Kinsey familigs live in the same house, at No. 615 6th street north- west. It is charged that last Saturday young Wiggington had the child in his room and attempted to assault her. The arrest was not a surprise to the defendant, for he told the officers that he nad been threatened with arrest since Saturday. He declared that he had not assaulted the child. Bond in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance was given and the case will be called for trial in the Police Court Friday morning. ene es Didn't Pay Alimony. Judge Hagner today made an order di- recting that John 8. Pollock, defendant in a suit for divorce, instituted by Caroline A. Pollock, be held answerable for con tempt of court. On the 26th of last April the defendant was ordered to pay monthly the sum of $20 to Mrs. Pollock as alimony, and failing to do so, he was required to show cause why he should not be held tn contempt for not obeying that order. The defendant answered, and in the order pass- ed today Judge Hagner directs that he | stand committed to the custody of the mar- | 2Venue northeast. shal unless he pays the alimony in arrears on or Before the 10th of next month. almost indis- It is the greatest famine of AMT ENTS. Albaugh’s.—The policy of the manage- ment of Albaugh’s Grand Opera House was clearly defined by the events of the present week. This week was to have closed the |elght weeks’ engagement of the Strakosch | Opera Company and announcement to this leffect was made long in advance. When | the opera company failed to give an ade- |@uate production on Monday night the authors of the work insisted that the per- formance should not be repeated, and Mana- ger Allen acquiesced. The attraction at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House beginning Monday next will be “The Midsummer Show,” preparations for which had been made sme time ago, consisting of the best artists who are now entertaining large audiences on the roof gardens of New York. These artists have been carefully beer Reon the best eres . aon be Ma rn and with especial view to their merits.

Three boats were chartered for the occasion, and a large crowd was carried down cn each of them. ‘The day was given up to rest and recrea- tion, and although it was hot and sultry in the beginning, the air was cooled about evening by the wind and rain storm which struck the MaDe corey 4 =~ a t ver shi al jeasant. of the « es ‘will be devoted to the sUp- port of the club and especially to the gym- nasium fund. This evening the Crescent Boat Club give their first excursion to Marshall Hall, and a very choice program has been arranged. The dancing will be in charge of Messrs. Hopkins and Frankland, and the comfort: of the guests on board will be looked after by Dr. Eliner Niber, with the assistance of the tion committee. This evening the Samuel J. Pentz will leave at 6: for River View and In- dian Head. Dancing and Esputa’s fine mu- sic will be features of the trip. On Satur. day the usual ten-cent-fare for everybody will _be in force. The last day of the week is “Family day” at Capt. Randall’s beauti- ful resort, and is taken advantage of by mothers and children to spend a day on the Potomac and in the country. Zansinger F: William F. Zaazinger of No. 1824 N street northwest, whose sudden disappear- ance from the city last Friday was pub- ished in yesterday's Star, has been found. He was found at an early hour yesterday wandering aimlessly about the country in the vicinity of Jessups, a station on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, some distance this side of Baltimore. The unfortunate man, whose mind is thought to be unbal. anced, had spent his time wandéring through the country, and when found he was in a pitiable condition. As printed in yesterday's Star, Zanzinger, who is about forty years old, had been under treatment in Providence Hospital. Some days ago he left the hospital grounds and went home, but Friday he started for the country, in- stead of returning to his mother’s home. A_ thorou, search of the hospitals and other institutions here was made by the po- lice, but no trace of the missing man could be found. Yesterday afternoon Maj. Moore received word from Jessups concern- ing the Snding of the missing man. He was found in the woods by a citizen, who ye that he was cared for by the officials of the house of correction. Arrangements we made by the police for the return of Zdasinger this evening. —\_>—_—_ Ne Boycott Here. The Pullman boycott has not affected the service in this section of the country, nor do the railroad officials anticipate any trou- ble. All trains carrying Pullman cars are being made up ag usual, and the railroad men are on duty as usual. So far as is known by the railroad people, the boycott has not even been discussed by the rail- road employes here. The Pullman cars are being moved in end out of the yards as usual, the cwitchmen, brakemen and yard men remaining on duty. Superintendent Main, who is in charge of the Pullman service here, said to a Star re- porter this morning that all the trains car- rying Pullman cars in and out of this city carried them t morning usual, and the trains were all op time. “All I know of the boycott is what I have seen in the newspapers,”’ he said to the re- porter, “and had it not been for these pub- Heations, I would not have known that there was any trouble.” Mr. Kerr Discharged. The attorney for the District, Mr. 8, T. Thomas, yesterday efternoon agreed to the discharge of Plumber Thomas W. Kerr, who was held upcn a charge of violating the plumbing regulations. The defendant had made an excavation for the purpose of repairing a sewer, without having first ob- tained a permit therefor. The charge w: made under the act of 1856, which requii @ permit from the mayor for making such excavations. Upon Mr. Kerr’s arrest he petitioned for his discharge through a writ of habeas corpus, contending that the Com- missioners of the District had no authority for enforcing such a regulation. The writ was made returnable before Judge Mc- Comas yesterday afternoon, and it was then that Mr. Thomas consented to Mr. Kerr's discharge. ———— Failed to Appear, George Banks, the young colored man who was arrested on a cable car Monday night, when he drew a toy pistol and used threatening language, as printed in yester- day's Star, appeared in Judge Kimball's court again today. The witness he had ed the court to summon did not appear and — court impused a fine of $10 or thirty ys. ee An Early Celebration. Edward Hawkins, a patriotic colored boy, who spent his money for firecrackers in tead of buying snowballs, was arrested! t evening by Policeman Yates, who found him celebrating on 2d street northeast. As this was the first case of the kind this sea- son Judge Kimball took the boy's personal bonds and whrned him not to repeat the offense, —— For Storage. The manuscript statistical tables used in the agricultural division of the census are being removed to an obscure part of the Department of the Interior for storage. —__.____ Sentenced to Death. Judge Kimball imposed a sentence of death in a case this morning, and the exe- cution will take place in the county in the vicinity of Twining City. There was no | particular hour fixed for the execution, nor is there any particular person to officiate. No rope will be used in this execution, so that there will be no danger of a mishap resulting from the use of an old rope, and death will result, not from strangulation, but from hemorrhage, following the Inflic- tion of a pistol-shot wound. The victim of the man who {s to officiate is a canine | owned by Otto Burkholtz, a resident of Twining City. The animal in question bit one boy and attempted to treat another boy the same way, but this boy managed to run and get out of the animal's way.

LITTLE FALLS POWER. The Water to Be Harnessed in the In- terest of Man. The establishment of an enterprise involv- ing, it is said, the expenditure of $750,000 is on foot. Men of money, hustle and brains are to be connected with it. The details of the movement have not been given out as yet, but from one financially interested tn- formation was gleaned to the effect that the Little Falls’ days of freedom are drawing to @ close. Within a few months the power being daily expended for nothing will be harnessed and used to turn wheels and work machinery for a big electric plant, one large and strong enough to furnish light and Power to the cities of Georgetown, Wash- ington and all adjacent territory. ‘The first business step toward the consummation of the project has been taken, namely, the purc! of the land on which the plant is to be established. Two hundred and four- teen acres were involved in the transaction. Relative thereto the records show the fol- lowing: Randall Hagner, Samuel Maddox and Thos. A. Callan yesterday deeded to Horace S. Cummings for $14,000 a tract containing 146 acrea, bounded on the north by the Chesapeake and Ohio condemnation line, west by the western line of the District of Coluthbia (about 300 feet the other side of the Chain bridge), south by the Potomac river channel and east by a tract contain- ing four acres at Lock Harbor; also any right or title of said parties to Billingsgate and Bully’s Disappointment. is the property known as the “Low Grounds,” that for so many years has been in the Stewart family of Georgetown. ‘The part purchased includes everything from the District line eastward to Ede’s mill. Coupled with this purchase was that of “High Island,” an elevated tract of sixty-elght acres, lying in the Potomac immediately to the west of the “Low Ground” tract, in Montgomery county. The price paid for the island was $20,000, Both parcels of land are magnificently lo- cated for manufacturing purposes, being contiguous to and immediately near the Little Falls, so full of power, which for all Past time has been wasted. The island was sold to purchasing parties by Maj. Geo. Hill of Georgetown. ——._—_. Maryland Appeals. The state of Maryland has taken an ap- peal from the recent decision of Judge Stake in which the experimental opera- tion of the canal by the trustees of the bondholders of 1844 was extended from May 1, 1891, to May 1, 1901. The Transportation Company have made all arrangements to fulfill their contract, though not through the assistance, as yet, of electricity. That power is not to be utilized at once.
