CHARITY SUPERVISION. jon Considered by a New York Joint Committee. The joint committee on charities and State prisons gave a hearing in Albany, N. Y., Wednesday on questions relating to edu- cational work in the institutions cf the state and in charitable institutions. Mr. Roche said the amendment favored by the committee last week, and which provided for withholding funds from all schools of @ectarian character, was right in its aim, but it would cut off the appropriations now made to orphan asylums kept by the churches, but drawing some aid from the state. The committee promised to remove such an effect. Homer Folks, secretary of the State Charities Aid Association, spoke for an amerdment prepared by Charles Fairchild, Providing for creating a state board of charities, a state board of lunacy, and a state board of prisons. Mr. Folks said the Broposed amendment creates a state com- mission of prisons, over all penal institu- tions, except reformatories. The number of fmmates of institutions which would be sub- Ject to the supervision of such a commis- sion of prisons would be about 10,000. The state commission in lunacy is given supervision over all institutions, public and wate, for the care of the insane. These clude at present nine state hospitals, six county asylums, and seventeen private asylums, containing January 1, 1804, a total of 18,154 inmates. The proposed amendment places under the supervision of the state board of charities twenty-three institutions main- tained by the state. The total population of these institutions last October was 62,- 164. There would also be under its super- vision a large number of charitable and benevolent gocieties not included in this Bumber. There is a decided difference of opinion @s to which is more effective as a super- visory bedy—a paid board or an unpaid board. The amendment does not prescribe either form of organization for any of the three boards. We believe that that should be left wholly tg the legislature, to be ad- Justed as the logic of events may prove wise. For the present both boards would remain as now constituted. The commis- sion of prisons can be organized by the Yecislature, either as a paid or an unpaid Body. Dr McDonald, for the state board of lun- e@cy, advocated the amendment, but wanted it understood that it did not emanate from their commission.

A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from Saratoga on Wednesday states: Prince Hatzfeldt, C. P. Huntington's son- in-law, gave the players and dealers at the Saratoga Club haif an hour of fine sport early this morning. It is sald that the Managers of the club became alarmed at the facility with which the prince would pile up “markers” and that they finally fixed his limit at $10,000. “ At 11:30 last night the prince left the Grand Union, where his family are stop- ping and where his meals are privately served in his suite of apartments, and walked over to the club. He was soon play- ing roulette after a fashion that made the eyes of the crowd hang out. The prince made no bet less than $i and his usual bet was $1,000. It doesn't take long to win or lose at roulette with $1,000 bet on every foll of the ball. In a few minutes the prince was $11,- @oo winner. Luck turned and the great stack of chips before the prince began to Melt away. When all had disappeared but $2,900 the prince prudently stopped playing and told the man at the wheel to put them down to his credit. Then he left the club, saying he Was going to retire. He bezan to celebrate his victory instead and returned in an hour eager and confi- dent. It was not long before he had lost Rot only his “0 winnings, but had reach- ed his 310.000 limit besides. Then he asked for an additional $1,000 and the man behind the wheel gave it to him. The proprietor of the club, Canfield, was infermed of the breach of his rule and Promptly told the prince he would have to stop playing. “I shall continue playing,” cried the Prince, excitedly. “On what?" said Canfield, quietly. “On the honor of a Hatzfeldt,” exclaimed the prince, proudly and striking his breast. “Not on your life,” replied Canfield. Then the prince became frantic with rage. ‘With a sudden movement he put his hands under the table and hurled it over into the middle of the room. The roulette wheel was broken. A crowd of attendants surrounded the Prince, but it was a long time before he Was quieted down. Government of New York City. The committee cn cities will report to the fonvention a general scheme for the gov- ernment of all cities in the state. The vote in committee was ten to five for a favorable report, and there were two members absent. ‘The minority members will not present a re- port of their own, but will oppose several sec- tions of the report of the majority. The re- Port in the shape of a proposed amendment will forbid the legislature from making any Special laws for the government of any city. Cities may have a common council, to consist of one or two bodies, with a pro- Portionate minority representation.

Seeroeiie | SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTI A party of Frye’s industrial army created considerable excitement in the vicinity of ssboro’ yesterday and Wednesday night. The party came over in boats and landed on the shore of Henry Biggs’, property, where they proceeded to make a fire. Then after dividing up in parties of two and three, be- gan an expedition for food. The farm of William Hayes was visited and the first party began tc advance arguments us to why they should be provided with some- thing to eat. Hayes, in order to get rid of them, gave them a barrel of potatoes. They had gone but a few min™:tes when arfother party of three appeared and in tones of greater determination asked for food. Hayes told them he had given some of the party potatoes. They said that made no matter, as they would not get any of them. After some parleying, the farmer gave them a half barre! of potatoes. Other men appeared and finally Hayes told them to clear out, as he had nothing more for them. The fact of their appearance was reported to the au- thorities, and Officers Green and Marr were dispatched to the camp by Sergeant Kirby of the Anacostia police. ‘The people of the vicinity are greatly worried over the in- vasion of the men, and one farmer sat up all night watching the fires which lined his shore in spite of his commands to leave the premises. ‘This morning Sergeant Kirby and Officer Hagan left for the rendezvous, but {t is un- derstood the men are now all divided up and foraging, each man for himself. Ali per- sons caught by the officers in the act of begging will be promptly arrested. The white youth giving his name as French, and reyorted to have been solicit- ing aid in Anacostia the other day, has proven, upon police investigation, to’ be a fraud. To several persons he stated that his father was dead, and his mother at the point of death, and two little children to care for, and that he lived near the race track at Congress Heights. A police officer after inquiry reports no such persons in the vicinity. The fete champetre, under the auspices of the Sunday school of St. Theresa's Catholic Church, closed last night after an evening of prolonged gaieties. Dancing continued until a late hour, music being furnished by Repetti’s string and brass band. The com- mittee on dancing was J. W. Bartley, Harry Beers and Thomas Reardon. The thirsts of many were quenched at the lemonade well, presided over by Misses Nellie Leonard, Rosa Casper and Lizzie Branson; ice cream and cake were served by Mrs. Hardy, Misses Williams, Janie Bean, Emma Bean, Gertie Roland, Ethel Roland, Gertie Leonard, Jen- nie Bartley, Alice Reagan, Lizzie Granger and Fannie McAndrews; peanuts were sold by Misses Nellie Hardy and Mamie Casper and cigars to the gentlemen by Misses Nel- lie Quaid and Jennie Coleman, whereas the many youths present found pleasure in the shooting gallery, which was conducted by Messrs. Ambrose Beavens, Raymond Beav- ens and Thomas Leonard. It is anonuneed that Mr. W. S. Dodge and not Mr. Charles R. Dodge, won the prize cake the first evening of the Baptist social. Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson left today on a ten-days’ vecation. He will make a trip through New York state, and expects to re- turn much improved in health. There was no preaching at the home camp meeting last night, but the service was turned into an old-fashioned prayer meeting, which was conducted by Rev. W. Hurst Reed. Tonight Rev. North of the Garden Memorial Presbyterian Church will preach. John Koenig, an otf resident of Anacostia, who ‘ed on Murroe street for the iast twenty years, died suddenly yesterday morning from heart disease. The deceased leaves two sons and a widow. Justice George H. Armstrong has re- turned from a week's outing on the Chesa- peake bay. The special committee appointed at the mass meeting of Anacostia citizens called upon the Commissioners yesterday morning regarding the obtaining of several hundred feet of hose and a hose carriage.as a tem- Porary protection against fire. While no definite answer has been given, yet the in- = is to be considered somewhat favor- able. —_——>__. HYATTSVILLE.

Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Mullican re- ceived a telegram from Gaithersburg stat- ing that a large crowd of Coxeyites had been ejected from a train at that place, were acting in a very disorderly manner and that some of them had been arrested; that they had sworn vengeance against the officers making the arrest and that a por- tion of ther had started for this place. The news created some excitement and uneasi- ness in the community, and a number of citizens began examining into the condition of their shotguns and other arms. An anx- jous watch was kept on the public road leading to Gaithersburg for some time, and about 6 o'clock a portion of the supposed belligerent crowd made their appearance, but in an orderly manner, and marched through town to the fair grounds, where they encamped for the night. There were about twenty-five of them and they repre- sented themselves as a portion of Kelly's contirgent. from California. They denied the story that there had been a disturbance at Gaithersburg and said there had been but two or three men put off the train. They were escorted through town by Sheriff Mul- lican, Detective Lloyd of the B. and O. rail- road and others, and the excitement soon died away. Had they shown any disposi- tion to be ugly they would have doubtless met with a warm reception. People in this section are sick and tired of the annoyance of this class of tramps and are not disposed to stand much more foolishness. Mr. James W. Boswell and Mrs. Jennie Magruder were married on Wednesday even- ing at the home of the bride, near Hunting Hill, by Rev. S. R. White of the Baptist Church. A number of relatives and friends were in attendance at the ceremony. Mr. Wm. B.

Mr. Thomas I. Fulks has gone to the eastern shore for an extended trip. Mrs. Nathan H. Darby is confined to her home by sickness and is improving. Owing to the summoning of Clerk Cramer to Frederick by telegram the town council did not hold its regular meeting on Wed- nesday night. A called meeting was held, however, and a committee of the Gaithers- burg Ideals laid before the council a nu- merously-signed petition praying for a re- newal of permit, recently revok«d, to play ball at Athletic Park. After a thorough in- vestigation of the complaints made by cer- tain citizens, and an agreement from the club to remove their diamond much farther from the property of the complainants, the council decided to renew the permit, and Councilmen Walker and Phebus were ap- pointed to see that the provisions cf the agreement were carried out. ‘Tuesday evening's storm necessitated the Postponement of the meeting of the Waver- ly Club. The same promisingly interesting program will be carried out two weeks hence. The Gaithersburg Ideals went over to Redland Wednesday afternoon and began another series of games of ball with the club of that town. Even was the score, 7 to 7. Saturday the club goes to Unity to play the first of three games with that club. Mr. David F. Virtz, the newly-signed twirler from Point of Rocks, will make his first appearance.

On Tuesday evening the same concert was given at Gibson's Hall, in Clarksburg, which was crowded; and will, on Friday night, be given at Poolesville, completing the series. —_-——_ The Okinhoma VW Ended. Governor R:2nfrow left Guthrie, O. TT. terday, leaving Secretary Lowe acting gov- erncr. Lowe at once wired the War Depart- ment, requesting that the soldiers be with- drawn from Enid and Pond Creek, as they were no longer needed. The tervitorial ad- ministration has prevailed upon the Rock Island Railroad Company to erect depot so the trouble can practi be said to b ended. The railroad company persistently refus. ed, desiring to force the people to remove to a town site established by the company, so that they will be compelled to buy 4 trom it. The people failed to secure action by Congress, and the Oklahoma supreme court decided against them. Two weeks ago an active war was begun by the people, who declared that if-there were no stations there | should be no railroad. Bridges were de- stroyed and every device resorted to to a noy and hinder the business of the con pany. ——_—_——cee- Switchmen Sue Bondsmen, The troubles of the Switchmen’s Mutual Aid Association found their way Inco court in Chicago Tuesday, when a suit for $20,- 000 was filed by the organization against the bondsmen of ex-Secretary-Treasurer Wm.

Simsrott’s recent dis- appearance led to the discovery that he was a defaulter to a large amount, but owing to the fact that the association was not in- corporated criminal proceedings were im- possible. TRACKS ON ‘4TH STREET Amendments Proposed to the W. and @. Rail road Bill. £ ! Commissioners Plan to Prevent Con- Gestion on h Street and at Newi York Avenue, At a late hour yesterday afternoon the Commissioners ‘completed their report upon Senate bill 2059, requiring the Washington and Georgetown RaiJroad Company to make certain alterations in its lines. The report is interesting, and states: “The Commissioners of the District of Columbia have the honor to make the fol- lowing report, after careful examination, on the bill Senate 2059, requiring the Wash- ington and Georgetown Railroad Company to make certain alterations in its lin which was referred to the Commissioners for examination and report: “First. The change proposed in the bill, requiring the Mount Pleasant cars to run on lith street and the Georgetown cars cn 15th street between Pennsylvania and New York avenues, and dispensing with the present cable tracks on New York aveave, would afford much relief to the present crowded and dangerous condition en 15th street. “A more complete, satisfactory and equal- ly practicable remedy, however, is to make all south-bound cable cars go down 15th street and all north-bound cars go up Mth street. This would require one track cnly on each street and on New York avenue between 14th and 15th streets, This latter is the alteration of tracks and operation of the road recommended by the Commission- ers, who advise that the bill be amended accordingly. The Advantages. “Besides reducing the obstruction and the danger each to a minimum, and permitting a convenient transfer of passengers from Mount Pleasant to Georgetown, the ar- rangement proposed by the Commissioners readily permits the use of the present east track on 15th street for the Metropolitan south-bound cars, leaving H street at 15th street and going to F. This would dispense with one of the present four tracks on 14th street. Such change for the Metropolitan south-bound cars should be required in con- nection with the recommended change of the Washington and Georgetown tracks. “The arrangement herein recommended would also permit the Eckington 's to loop by the way of 15th street from G to F, thereby avoiding the end switch now made at 15th and give better accommodation to the public. “It appears from official information re- ceived at this office, and action already taken by the Columbia company, that that company will at once put in a cable. ‘The alteration, recommended by the Commis- sioners, the tracks of the Washington and Georgetown road would further permit the Columbia cable cars to run on the Washington and Georgetown track on New York avenue and 15th street and make a loop to F street or Pennsylvania avenue, to Mth. ‘This would dispense with another end switch and with at least two of the four present tracks on New York avenue, and take the Columbia cars nearer to the treas- ury and to the avenue. “End switches, in. ghe street for mechani- cal motor cars arp intolerable nuis.n and should be prevgated whe able. No streep iy. Washing wide enough for four or even three tracks for rapid transit cars ynoving in opposite ci- rections. a To Prévent Duplication, “To cover the‘vasé of the Columbia road at once and beforé this company ~hanges its horse car tracks ‘on New York ayenue west of 14th, the Commissioners also rec- ommend the insertion in the bill of the following section: “That, motive powers for cars permitting, and to the end that «he greater convenience of the public may be subserved without the duplication or unnecessary increase of railroad tracks and for the prevention of switches or turntables in the streets, the District Commissioners shall have the pow- er to authorize and require the use of the tracks of street railroads by the cars of railroad companies in the District of Co- lumbia, at and near terminal points for lengths of track in each case not exceeding four squares, for such compensation interested companies may agree t companies fail to agree upon terms either of them may apply by petition to the Su- preme Court of the District of Columbia, which skall i-nmediately provide for notice to and hearing of all parties interested, and shall determine the compensation for such use of track. And the said Commissioners shall be authorized to permit extensions of the lines of street railroads in said District, not exceeding in each case four squares in length, at the localities and for the purposes named hereinbefore.” Other Changes, “Becond. The Commissioners further rec- ommend that the words ‘as approved by the District Commissioners’ be added after line seventeen of section 1 of the bill, and that the following requirements be added thereto: ‘Third. The sald company shall extend its road by a single track from Ist street west on B street north to New Jer- sey avenue; thence northerly on New Jer- sey avenue to C street, and to a connection with one of its present tracks on C street; and shall, when notified by the District Commissioners, remove one of its conduits on Ist street north of B street west, and on C street, and repave and put in as good con- dition as the District Commissioners may direct, the space occupied by the said con- duit.” “Third. As to section 2 of the bill, the Commissioners remark that this company already owns land and depots where cars can be switched at the Georgetown, Mount Pleasant, Navy Yard and arsenal termini. The Commissioners are of the opinion that the switching and parking of trains in the public spaces at these points are unneces- sary, obstructive and dangerous and should be stopped as contemplated by this section of the bill. “In view of the intended prompt change of the Columbia company to cable, and the great desirability of relieving the bad situation at Ith street, it is respectfully asked that legislation on the matters herein may be secured at the present session of Congress.” “>. Death of Gen, Pleasanton. Gen. Augustus J. Pleasanton died in Phil- adeiphia yesterday after a lingering illness of pneumonia. He was born in thts city eighty-six years ago and came of a distin- guished family, his father, Stephen Pleas- anton, having been associated with the na- tional government for over half a century. ‘The general graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1826. After practicing law in Philadelphia for some years, he enlisted in the Pennsylvania mili- and at theoutbreak of the civil war 's made commander of the home guard of Philadelphia, serving with distinction. Gen, Pleasanton Mas the originator of the that thd son's rays, when passed through blue glasa were particularly stimu- lating not only) to, vegetation, but to the health and growth of animals. The theory attracted widespread attention, and pro- duced “the blueglitss craze,” which was at its height in 18%. He wrote a work on this subject and deliverad numerous lectures be- fore scientific sucieties. ———+ 5 200 The AUR. U. Case. The case of Debs and the other A. R.
