Dominick O’Mera, who lives on 7th street northeast, went down the river Saturday tight intending to spend a pleasant day at Colonial Beach. He made a good start for the boat landed him safely at the beach, but when he went to his room he was not satisfied to remain there. He started to go out the door, but made a mistake, going out the second-story window instead. Down to the ground he went, but before reach- ing there his face came in contact with the rain barrel. The result was that his face was badly disfigured and he was other- wise badly injured. He was brought up on the boat last night and removed to his home in the police ambulance. A lady fainted while in bathing at Co- Jenial Beach yesterday, and a man taken with cramps came near losing his life. ———— Saturday Excursions to Seashore via Pennsylvania Katlroad.

Several Cases of Theft and Assault— Son’s Threats Against His Father. Sam. Burgee is drinking again, and his intemperate habit accounted for his pres- erce in Judge Mills’ court this morning. where he led the little procession of pris- oners. Because of the effect the liquor had on him he was extremely nervous, and was So hoarse that he could scarcely make him- self understood when he said “not guilty.” His aged father was the prosecuting wit- ress In a threats case, and his tale of woe was a sad one. He told the court that he had been caring for his son’s children, and was doing everything in his power for him. Saturday night, he said, his son made use of the threats and caused considerable ex- citement about the house. Judge Mills required the son to give real estate security in the sum of $200 to keep the peace or go to jail for ninety days. Cases of Theft. Elijah Johnson and his friend, Wesley Johnson, were called on a charge of steai- ing clothing from Jacoh Kaufman, and Wesley declared that he had not robbed anybody. “I took the coat,” said Elijah, “and car- ried it off. I was drinking at the time.” “What did Wesley have to do with it?” the court asked. “Nothing in the world.” “You will have to go to fail for thirty days,” the court told him, “and Wesley is discharged.” Albert Washington was next in line. He is a small colored youth, who cannot keep his fingers off other people’s property. His last offense was taking a small amount of money from Milo Quackenbush. This time he admitted his guilt, and the court heard no evidence. An officer told the court of the boy’s char- acter, and Albert will now be set on the right track by the reform school authori- ties. Louisa Mergent and Phillis Jones, negro wemen, who are as much at home in prison as they are about the low dives in Louse alley, figured in a case of theft. The latter charged that the former had deprived her of the use of some of her un- dergarments, but the former denied the charge. A policeman —— in the case and gave evidence, and Judge Mills sent her where she will not get watermelon and whisky for a month. An Improbable Story. Tom Brooker, a young colored man, told a highly improbable story when he got on the stand to give evidence in his own de- fense of charges of assault and theft. Tom lives in Georgetown and so does Simon Berlin. The latter mends shoes, and Tom was one of his customers Saturday. en he went to get the shoes Saturday night there was some trouble about the financial] end of the bargain, and a fight re- sulted. Simons’ face was disfigured, but Tom escaped unhurt, although he was roughly handled. “I promised to pay him 75 cents,"* said the negro, “and when I went to get them he asked me to give him an extra quarter, which I did, and he went out and bought beer. He treated a crowd of boy: “What made you give him the extra quarter?” “He asked me for it, and I-treated him.” Tom called another witness, but his evi- dence confirmed what the defendant had pom and the court fined him 310, or thirty ys. Talked Himself Into J: Jim Temple, a young negro, with a long prison record, was acquitted two days ago of a charge of stealing a clock, and today he appeared as a witness against a negro named John Nelson. The latter confessed to the officers that he was given the clock by Temple, but in court he said he made the confession because the police annoyed him. ‘But,” he added, “I didn’t get the clock.” “Well,” said the judge, “you have talked yourself in jail for thirty days.” Turning to Temple, the judge said tt would be a pleasure to send him to jail. “It is a pleasure to send a rascal to jail, and I'll tell you now that you had better steer clear of this court for thirty days.” —~—.__ Mr. Oldrinti’s Appointment. The many friends of Mr. Alexander Old- Finl, who is so popular in Washington, will be gratified to learn of his recent selection by the Italian government to be chief agent of the bureau of information and protection for Itallart emigration.

The Golden Cross. St. John’s Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, held an interesting meet- ing on Seturday evening last, Nobie Com- mander Thos. M. Downing presiditg. One applicant for membership was elected. On motion of Past Grand Commander Ehle the thanks of the commandery were unani- mously voted to Keeper of Records Gra- ham for a handsome donation to the gen- eral fund of the commandery. Grand Com- mander Perry, who was present as a vis- irr, spoke of the good work done by mem- “ers of the order during the past term, and noped that the work of the present term would, if possible, exceed the last. Past Grand Commander Ehle heartily approved of the action of the grand commander in offering a premium for securing new mem- bers, and believed it would have the effect of largely increasing the membership of the order. Other interesting remarks were made by Knights Graham, Bartlett, Noble Commander Downing and others. At the next meeting, on August 18, the degrees will be conferred. es Willie Proctor’s Return. Willie Proctor, the little boy who went away from here two years ago with a man named Ferguson, and who was found in Crockett, Tex., as printed in The Star at the time, has arrived home. He tramped nearly 2,000 miles during the two years,and his step-mother, who brought him home, found him living in the family of a respect- able citizen. The boy tells miraculous stories of his tramps through the southwest with Ferguson, looking for gold mines and fortunes. Then he worked on a ranch, in hotel kitchens, and finally he reached the little town of Crockett. Willie did not know his stepmother, but a telegram sent here was answered to the satisfaction of the authorities, and Willie was permitted to come with —_—_>—- Democratic Association.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES. Held at Rosslyn by the Industrials Camped There. Rev. Dr. Corey, formerly pastor of the Metropolitan M. E. Church of this city, and @ number of members of the Epworth League of that church, under the leadership of President Sites, went over to the indus- trial camp near Rosslyn yesterday morning and held religious services. Arranged in a semi-circle in front of the pulpit, which had been formed from a large dry goods box decorated with United States flags and wild flowers and vines, were the visitors from the city, who were provided with seats, and the industrials themselves sut upon the grass. It was an attentive and respectful audience, and the hymns that were given during the song service preceding the ser- mon were sung with a lustiness of famil- farity by the majority of the men calling themselves industrials. Dr. Corey preached an Impressive sermon upon the brotherhood of man, and when he was concluding he re- quested ail of the industrials who were will- ing to go to their homes in case transporta- tion was provided for them to hold up their hands. Every right hand in the hungry multitude raised aloft. Each hand went up with equal energy when Dr. Corey requested those who were willing to promise never to leave their homes again on such a trip, if they were sent back to them, to so signify. Ex-Congressman Doane of Ohio Spoke briefly upon the necessity of labor working in harmony with capital, and Pres- ident Sites expressed the hope that the men would soon be able to return to their homes again. Mr, John W. Matchett announced that the District Commissioners were rapid- ly making arrangements with the railroad companies to transport the industrials to their former homes, and that he hoped that such preliminaries would’ be’ settled in a very few days. Capt. Henley, on behalf of the industrials, thanked the visitors for ihe services that had been held, and said that the men would never have come to Wash- ington but for the fect that gross deceit had been practiced upon them in the west. William T. Gaskins and Patrick Johnson, two members of the army, were taken to the Emergency Hospital last night, suffer- ing, respectively, from malarial and inter- mittent fever. Today they were removed to the poor farm hospital. The arrival of Jeffry’s army from the west is expected daily, but the alleged hundreds will prob- ably dwindle to a score or two before the District is reached. a Regular Camp Meeting. A regular old-fashioned camp meeting is being held 6n a vacant lot on 14th street near B street southeast, which is fenced in and given the name of University Park. It is being held under the auspices of Lane's Chapel, C. M. E. Church. ‘The religious ex- ercises began as early as 5 a. m. yesterday and continued ‘with brief intermissions throughout the day. The meeting will continue to September 2, with three regular services each Sunday and a service every night during the week except on Saturdays. During the meeting the following ministers are expected to con- Cuct services: W. B. Johnson, S. B. Wal- lace, A. Dennis, and Revs. R. V. Peyton, A. Wilbanks, James Peyton, F. Seaton, A. J. Weod, C.

A young woman named Lottie Cline came here Saturday evening from Philadelphia to meet George Fenton, a blacksmith. The latter was at the depot, but he failed to meet his sweetheart when she arrived. Failing to find him, the young woman met Special Policeman Klopfer, who turned her over to the matron of the first police sta- tien. George learned of her whereabouts yesterday and called for her at the station. Then there was an affecting scene, and the ycurg couple went away rejoicing. — Won His Bet. Mr. Delephine Taulelle, a dyer, of 1217 G street northwest, aged seventy years, who had not be2n swimming for ten years, re- cently swam across the Potomac, opposite the bathing beach, and returned in the preseyce of a large number of spectators, and thereby won bet from Mr. August Detterer of this city. —————— Recorder Taylor's Exp To the Eilitor of The Evening Star: I dislike “No appear in the public prints, but I must reply to your article in last Saturday’s paper under the caption of “Want Assistance.” In that article my name is given great prominence as having something to do with this “bureau” over which Mr. Rob't G. Still is the chief. I have nothing whatever to do with this “bureau.” I was not present when it was determined to create this “bureau,” neither did any one consult me about the propriety of such a step. If I had been consulted about it I would have fought against its creation. It is like a fifth wheel to a wagon, of no service except to annoy. The Negro National Democratic League is suffi- ciently able to do everything necessary among negro voters to put them to think- ing. Mr. Rob't G. Still is an excellent gen- tleman, and I have no doubt knows what he is about. He named me chairman of the advisory board of his “bureau,” which he states is an annex to the democratic corgressional committee. What I want the public and those concerned to understand is, that I am not responsible in any way for any letter or letters sent out from said “bureau” asking for “assistance” or ask- ing for anything else of value. I am not aware that a single cent or more has been collected by said bureau. I have no knowl- edge as to who pays the rent for the place where the bureau is located, neither do I know who furnished it. I know nothing whatever about its inner work, except such as I have been told by Mr. Rob't G. Stull. I have never been able to understand the necessity for such a bureau. The con- gressional campaign committee of the demo- cratic party knows that the negro demo- cratic league, which is a self-sustaining organization, stands ready to do any and everything which is deemed necessary among the negro voters, C.

Mr. Mott cemes directly from the as- sistant rectorship of St. Paul’s Rock Creek Church, His discourse yesterday forenoon was a declaration of the Christian faith and an exhortation to the congregation to stand firmly with the church. Before commencing his sermon Mr. Mott outiined briefly some of the movements that he hoped to inaugurate in his new charge, including the organization of a chapter of the Brotherhood of Saint Andrew, a Bible class and a chapter of Friends. He then preached an able and eloquent sermon from First Corinthians, x Efforts to Save. Rev. Charles Dodd of Newark, N. J., occu- pied the pulpit at the First Baptist Church at both services yesterday before large con- gregations, At the evening service he preached on the subject of Christ's unceas- ing efforts to save and His remarkable dis- cernment, taking for his text the twenty- seventh verse of the fifth chapter of Luke, referring to the summoning of Matthew by the Saviour: “And after these things He went forth, and saw a publican named Levi sitting at the receipt of custom, and He said urto him ‘Follow me.’ ” Mr. Dodd, who is a young and eloquent preacher, will occupy the pulpit at this church all through the month, in the ab- sence of the pastor, Dr. Stakely. Union Church. Rev. Luther B. Wilson, presiding elder of the Washington district, paid his quar- terly visit last evening at the Union M. E. Church, near the corner of 20th street and Pennsylvania aveaue, and preached from the fifth chapter cf Romans and the third verse, where Paul says that Christians glory in tribulations, knowing that tribula- tion worketh patience. Forks of the Road. Rev. Adolos Allen, co-pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, delivered an interest- ing and earnest sermon last evening, tak- ing for his subject, “At the Forks of the Road.” In an eloquent marner Mr. Alen pointed out how we may all be sald to be where two roads separate and in doubt as to which to follow. He urged upon all to erter by the gate and to travel the straight and narrow road that leads unto everlast- ing life, leaving behind the oue which is apparently the more attractive, but which leads straight on to eternal destruction. Has Hesigued. Rev. Charles H. Small, pastor of the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church, tendered his resignation at the close of the morning service yesterday, Mr. Small has received a call to the Congregational Church of Hudson, Ohio, near Cleveland.

Yesterday at River View. Yesterday was a day that will not be soon forgotten by the many excursionists who took a trip to River View. Capt. Randall, ever thoughtful of the pleasure of his patrons, had provided a number of special attractions, which included Capt. George Whistler, direct from the London Aquarium, where a million people have witnessed his exhibitions. Among the exhibitions he gave were a grand naval battle on the water, complete destruction of vessels by torpedoes, throwing a mass of water hundreds of feet in the mid-air, walking on water, riding a bicycle on water, exhibition of a shipwreck at sea, and cooking his meals and eating. Capt. Webb’s educated performing seals and alligators, together with his prairie dog village, added to the attractions. Exhibi- tions were given by the seals, playing the tambourine, ringing bells, turning grind- stones, shooting, dancing and other tricks. Esputa’s fine band furnished popular music all day. —_>— , Sons of Maine.
