This morning about 4 o’clock there was @n exciting scene in the house No. %2 BE street northwest. A man named Jacob Seymour, who lives in the heuse, had been @rinking, and his conduct alarmed the per- sons im the house to such an extent that when Policeman McCort was called he found a number of the females on the Street in their gowns and barefooted. The officer entered the house, only to be pounc- ed upon by the infuriated man, and there Was a hand-to-hand struggle, which lasted me minutes, until the officer went down. Shen he managed to get up the intoxi- cated man made break at him, and when he Officer th the intexica of the Knox fire and made an inspection. They found only a slight disagreeable odor from the burned horseflesh, small frag- ments of which were undoubtedly in the mass of ruins. A liberal suvply of disin- fectants, however, had put the place in a fairly good sanitary condition. The in- Brectors held a conference with Mr. Knox concerning the place, and the resrit is that this morning Contractor Albert Gleason had a large force of men and teams, who Started In to remove the debris as soon as ssibie. The police have received a num- Ber“or letters concerning valuables lost in the firs, one having come from North Da- kota. The writer of this letter had a box of silver stored in the building, and he thirks the melted metal may be found. ‘The men engaged on the work, as well as the police, are on the constant lookout for vale. and all such articles found will be turned over to the officers. — ae The Wimodaughsis Lawn Party.

At a meeting of the executive committee of the Christian Endeavor Union, held last evening in the Sunday school room of the Assembly Presbyterian Church, the business of arranging the preliminaries for the great Endeavor convention in 1896 was put on foot. The most important action of the evening came in the form of a series of recommendations submitted by the board of officers, and adopted afte: a thorough dis- cussicn. They were as follows: With a view to the organization of a com- mittee to prepare for the holding of the fif- teenth international convention of Christian Endeavor in Washington in 1896, the board of officers of the District of Columbia Chris- tian Endeavor Union submits for the con- sideration and action of the executive com- mittee the following recommendations: That a committee, to consist of nine mem- bers, be appointed by the executive commit- tee, to be called the committee on organiza- tion. That said committee on organization be instructed to submit to the executive com- mittee, from time to time, such recommen- dations as it shall deem to be necessary and advisable with regard to the organization of the committee of '96, and shall submit to the executive committee, from time to time, recommendations lcoking to the organiza- tion of necessary subcommittces, and shall Iso submit the names of such persons as are deemed proper by said committee on organization to be members of such subcom- mittee, and shall recommend a suitable per- son for chairman of such subcommittee, who shall also be a member of the commit- tee of ‘06. That the following named persons be members of said committee of organization: Teunis S. Hamlin, W. H. Pennell, W. H. H. Smith, W. S. McArthur, L. A. Conner, jr., Percy S. Foster, W. B. Robinson, Edward B. Bagby and W. F. Stowell. At the meeting last evening Mr. W. S. McArthur, president of the District Union, presided, with Mr. J. D. Morgan secretary. The meeting was opened with singing and devotional exercises by Mr. C. D. Bulla, Mr. O. C. Saum and Mr. Percy S. Foster. John B. Sleman, jr., reported from the press committee that affairs were in a prosper- ous condition, and that the committee ex- pected to realize some profit from the spe- cial edition of the Endeavor for the month of June. W. H. H. Smith spoke on behalf of the preliminary committee for ‘06, com- menting upon the clean campaign which the delegates waged to secure the conven- tion for Washington. Percy S. Foster, from the committee on transportation, reported that there would Probably be something of a balance to be turned over to the treasury of the union, although they had been disappointed in the number of people who had gone from Washington to attend the convention. Mr. F. L. Fishback moved a vote of thanks for the services of the committee, which was passed, and Mr. C. W. Chappell, treasurer of the "03 preliminary committee, reported that the finances under his charge were in a satisfactory condition. President McArthur said there was an Invitation from the Christian Endeavor Society of Guntcn Memorial Chureh to hold a convention echo meeting with them, and he was in favor of He advised | that the Endeavorers wear their white caps and badges. President Charles W. Little of that society explained that an echo meeting was intended to be a sort of reproduction in miniature of the recent Cleveland conventicn, with the same hymns and a number of brief speeches from the | delegates. The Invitation was accepted, the meeting to be held on August 10. The remaining busiress of the evening con- sisted of the adoption of a vote of thanks to the Epiphany Reformed Eptscopal Church of Cleveland for the many courte- sies extended to the Washington delegates at the late convention, and an address by W. H. Lewis of Seattle, formerly of this city, urging the Iccal Endeavorers to at- tend the cdnvention at San Francisco next year and to take in the Washington state convention on their way home. ———-.——.

The men who saw them leave, as well as those who had them in charge, summoned bright visions of a replenished commissary when the vehicles would be re- turaed to camp. Major Moore had given permisston for the wagons to be taken into Washington to carry back any eubscrip- tions of food and other necessaries, which the charitable or kindly-hearted might con- tribute to the ald of the commonweal cause, and every maa in camp believed that the responses to the representatives with the wagons would be generous enough to load them down to their greatest capacity. All day long the two vehicles were taken around through Washington, and when they crossed the bridge again at night there as not enough load in both of them to ll the body of a push cart. But one piece of meat had been obtained, and lots were drawn for this by the various companies now at the camp, and the winners enjoyed a feast, while their unlucky brethren were forced to content themselves with bread and corn cake. There are large numbers of desertions from the camp every day, de- spite the claims of the so-called leaders that the absentees merely go away on temporary trips. The men remaining are losing, if they have not already lost, all interest in the movement which brought them hither, and the only hope they now express is that Congress, in a moment of pity, may make an appropriation to enable industrials and commonwealers alike to return whence | they came.

In the sult for divorce instituted last month by Mrs. Lucy H. Armes against Maj. George A. Armes, Mrs. Armes has filed an answer to the one filed by her husband last week. She admits living in the same house with him, but explains that she is doing so because she has no other place to 0 to and because she does not wish to de- sert her children and leave them alone in their father’s custody. She says she has read the answer filed by him and “is indig- nant at the perfidy of the man.” She denies that she has cohabited with him since the institution of the sult. She declares that her husband since then has resisted her efforts to keep him out of ber bed room, al- though he haz on several occasions found his way in. She charges that in so forcing himself upcn her her husband did so with the design of making it appear that she has condoned his many offenses. She also charges that since the institution of the suit her husband has used abusive language to her and has tormented her in many ways. Mrs. Armes admits that she sits at the table with her husband, but explains that she does that and other things merely to keep up the proprieties of life before her children and visitors, because she has no means to take herself and children and live elsewhere. She says that her husband is fond of show, but again denies that he has provided for her and the children as he should. She denies that she has a bank ac- count, but says that she borrowed $150 with which to prosecute her suit for divorce. She charges that her husband, on the 25th of last month, endeavored to persuade her to sign an order directing the dismissal of the suit. She also charges that her husband has intercepted her mail and read her let- ters, particularly those from her counsel, which information so gained he has used to visit her witnesses. She explains that she desires a separation from her husband, maintenance for herself and children and the custody of the children. —_—._—_ CHARGE DISCRIMINATION. New P! gre ie of the Color Line in the School A number of colored citizens, among them Perry Carson and a number of ministers and citizens, are interested in a movement the object of which is to have School Trus- tees Cornish and Bruce removed. The last meeting was held Monday night, and next week resolutions will be adopted and sent to the Commissioners. Perry Carson, talk- ing to a Star reporter, said that these trus- tees were discriminating against black ap- = worse than any white men ever When asked what he meant by the dis- crimination, he said lo; they are not putting white girls in as teachers, but they ere putting in mulattoes, who cannot be told from white. The appointments of teachers are made irrespective of merit. The light mulittoes get all the positions,- and the black girls get left.” He also said that the committee would Present facts and figures in substantiation of their complaint. Mr. Cornish when spoken to in relation to the matter admitted that while he knew nothing authentic about the charges he had heard a rumor that such papers would be filed with the Commissioners, “I consider that the policy pursued by myself as a member of the board of school trustees has been consistent and what the people wanted,” the gentleman continued. “I shall be very glad indeed to have an in- vestigation made.” —>___. TEN BOX CARS, They Are Wanted by the Ind Army, The California contingent of the army of the commcnweal wants to get away. Col. Howard and Maj. Quinn had a conference with the Conimissioners yesterday at the suggestion of Vol. Tracy,the superintendent of charities, to whem they applied for re- Nef. They represented that with ten box cars placed ut the disposal of the army the latter would quietly steal away and shake the dust of Washington from its feet. ‘The army was in a bad condition, but the men hoped to get work along the road, provided the Commissiocers would help them get away.

Arrived at the landing, the Endeavorers walked through the woods and viewed the bridge by the light of a lantern. Coming back, songs, lemonade and speech- es were the order of proceedings. Miss Liz- zie Warman, delegate to the recent Cleve- land C.

No One Knows Hew ¢he Knox Fire Started At the end of the week, after the great Knox fire, the mystesy as to its cause is as far as ever from being solved, and it now looks as though its would remain a mystery for all timé The investigation, which has been rigorously prosecuted by the authorities, is aboug concluded, but has demonstrated nothing definite beyond the fact that the firesin all probability did not have its origin im the gasoline wagon which was stored om the ground floor of the Knox building. Fire Marshal Drew has been studying into the fhatter very carefully, but the only conclusion that he has been able to reach is that the flames were either started In some way through the negligence of the employes, who were in the building at the time, or were the result of. spontaneous combustion. Marshal Drew ‘told a Star reporter that there was nothing really to support elther one of these theories, but that they were the only ones left after eliminating those that were manifestly im- Possible. In the course of his examination one of the employes, who was under oath when he made the statement, said that from where he was at the time of the fire it was evident it started on the second or third floor, and another witness swore that when he first saw the flames they were considerably beycnd the point where the wagons were stored. Harris, the owner of the wagon, which was first said to have made all the trouble, has not been seen by the authorities since he was released by the police and left the Emergency Hos- pital. Fire Marshal Drew has made scv- eral efforts to find him, but without suc- cess, but he has ascertained that the gaso- line tanks, which were a part of Harris’ scheme for a motor, were not stored at Knox's at all. The wagon was there, but he had removed the tanks and engine for use in a sort of street car, with which he was experimenting on the tracks of the Anacostia line, after the cars had stopped running at night. He is a man of limited means and was unable to afford the luxury of « double set of engines and tanks. He had had his wagon stored at Knox's for several months past, but there was not a drop of oll about it. The gasoline tanl @ that used to form a part of It are still in existence, which proves beyond a doubt that they were never in the fire. Accord- ing to the statements of members of the firm made to the fire marshal they were alweys very careful to see that nothing of a combustible nature was allowed stor- age room. Frequently people who were storing furniture would send along gaso- line stoves and tanks, but it was an in- variable rule to pour out every drop of the fluid before putting them away. They cite the case of a woman who had a can of gasoline among her hous=nold effects when she sent them there. The gasoline was poured out into the gutter before the stuff was stored, and wnen she came to reclaim it and found what they had done she threatened a sult for damages. It was necessary to pay for what had been lost before she would be pacified. Many things were sent there nlfeady stoutly boxed, and there is, of course, a posstbility that among these boxes there may have been lamps or cans filled with some inflammable fluid, which had its effect in bringing about spen- taneous combustion. ‘This {ts all merely conjecture, however, and the actual cause of the big fire will probably never be known. ——_~_— Off for Kurepe.

John Leonard, a South Washington store- keeper, whose place of business is at 3d and F streets, 's again under arrest, and the charge against him is the illegal sale of liquor, John keeps a combination dry goods and grocery stcre. He has been arrested many times for selling liquor as a side issue and has paid fires as well as spending a short while in jail. Sergeant Daley had charge of the raiding party iast evening, and when he entered the place Leonard made a spring at him and caused an amount of unnecessary noise. This aroused his sick daughter, who was on the upper floor, and, although nearly at the point of death, she managed to crawl from bed and plead for her father’s release. But her father was under arrest and was obliged to go with the officers to the station. In a safe the officers found Mr. Leonard’s cash and two quarts of whisky, while in the room once used as a salcon was found a large stock of intoxicants. Later in the evening Lesnard gave bond in court. He denies that he has been selling liquor and claims that his stock is what he had when he failed to get a license.
