A slat in fear blind had been broken, but the thief evidently changed his mind and turned his attention to the rear door, and by the use of some sharp instrument vainly endeavor- ed to pry cpen the door. As a result of his efforts the edge of the door was cut and splintered. This was cll done while the family was absent. The thief evidently was frightened away by the approach of Dr. Havenner on his return, for he left behind him a brass key ard several matches,which —— —_ _., cos f were found on the door sill.

The old race track, just beyond the In- sane Hospital, presenis a new appearance, as the streets have been laid out for a new subdivision,which adjoins Congress Heights.

Stevenson cf the Baptist Chureh has returned from his outing in New York state. The regular meetiag of the Anacostia Ep- worth League will be held tomorrow night in the league room of the church. The residents of Anacostia have learned with regret that the $000 recommended by the District Conmmisstoners for tne paving of Harrison street has been cut oui of the Distriet appropriation bill. The more con- servative members of the Citizens’ Associa- tion concede this to be quite proper, as a sewer should be constructed on Harrison street before expen jing a large sum to pave it. ‘lhe park at Market space has all summer presented a rather’ neglected appearance, and the Citizens’ Assoctation have decided to arrange for its improvement in the way of leveling and sowing of grass. -_ KENSINGTON.

Yesterday morning it was reported that “Harriet Diamond had been found dead in her room at 2812 N street. The police sum- moned the coroner and went-down to take charge of the body. It was learned that the deceased was a subtenant in the house, and without relatives, as far as is known, With the exception of two nieces, who re- side in Brooklyn, > Y.

Georg:town people have expressed keen gratification at the interest displayed by Repressntative Kilgore in their most ab- sorbing topic. the improvement of Rock creek, as evilenced in a talk yesterday, for publication. They hea:tily concur with his plan of improvement, and will very shortly give him a chince to practically demon- strate the interest he feels. Immediately on the convening of the Citizens’ Association in the fall the committees already appoint- ed to work on the project will be reinforced. Every effort will be made to accomplish the object of their appointment. The people recognize the creek, as it exists today, to be a most serious detriment to the town. All improvements in its vicinity depend upon its arching or bettermert. The halls of Congress will be thronged with George- towners, it is said, when Congress convenes for the winter's considerations, and no rest will be given the lawmakers until they do something toward removing the contam!- nating influences. Facts, figures and mor- tality reports will be crowded upon those in authority to emphasize the necessity of the ereek’s improvement. Freparing for Opening. Georgetown College is being brightened internally for the reception of the pupils of 1804 and "95. Several thousand dollars will be expended. The long ccntemplated im- provements to the athletic grounds will also be made. The rear hill will be cut away to give an ampler field to the tall players, and new bleachers will be constructed. The ex- tension of the main ball grounds will neces- sitate the pulling down of the ancient brick dwelling near the college wall and P street. In order to extend the work of the main university, it has been dectded by the facul- ty to lessen preparatory course from three to two years. i Great regcet is expressed here at the transfer of Father Harlin, Father DuFour, | 1s eight- to cost ~ R.-Stokes left yesterday for where he was called by the iliness of a sister. FOREST GLEN. Monday's tournament at Carroll Chapei was a success. The knights participating were led to the judges’ stand by Mr. Key and Miss Edna Hardy and addzessed by Mr. Bibb Brown of Gaithersburg. During his talk to the youthful knights he gave a thorough and exhaustive description of tournaments and jousts, with compliments on their love of chivalry. After the riding the judges, Messrs. Theodore Wasserbach, F. R. Keys and J. T. Fenwick, announced that Walter Gosling won the first prize—a handsome saddle; W. Kline, second prize—a bridle and martingales; G. Kline, third prize —a bridle; and Frank Walsh, fourth prize— a whip and spurs. ‘he officers of the day were: Chief marshal, Pinkney Marlow: marshals, Bohrer von Ovendorf and Frank Hardy; herald, Harry Mannakee, and aid.

RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 3, 1894. Your correspogdent never made a truer statement than the, one that the contest between Senators Ransom and Jarvis en- ters into the smallest detail of North Caro- lina politics, If jt affects these little thin, how much does it affect the larger ones, such, for instance, as the selection of a congressional candidate by the democrats? In the first district there is naturally much interest in the question whether Congress- man Branch will get a renomination, Thos. G. Skinner wanted to 1un, but it is said that he will not antagonize Branch. But the Jarvis-Ransom matter comes in as an issue, and it is said the supporters of one side want to put up W. D. Pruden of Eden- ton for Congress, while the supporters of the other side favor W. T. Caho of Pamlico, So now the question is, can Branch get the nomination? In the seccnd congressional district it appears to be reasonably certain that Con- gressman Woodward will get a renomina- tion. He is one of the fortunate ones in this year of disaster, and does not appear to have opposition in his party ranks. In the fourth district B. H. Bunn, present incumbent, steps down and out. You have been informed that his defeat for the noml- nation was assured. He reeognized the fact that the primaries had gone against him, and so last week withdrew from the contest. His letter of withdrawal was manly, and has made him friends. Charles M. Coake will get the democratic nomina- tion on the first ballot. The most interesting congressional con-, test in progress is in the sixth district. 8. B. ‘Alexander, present representative, gave notice that he was no longer in the race, | the result of the primaries having been | against him, and so now there are in the | race John D. Bellamy, J. T. LeGrand,Frank MeNcill, James A. Lockhart and H, B. H Adams. The strength of the district Is greatly divided, and no mar can now name | the winner, and there is much probability | of, a long and lively convention. The demo- crats do not appear to be making calcula- tions on electing a Congressmsn from the fisth district..Thomas Settle, a popular young republican, now in Congress, appears | to have a strong hold on that district. The | news which comes from the ninth district, is that W. T. Crawford will be renominated by the democrats afid that he will: be re- elected. He is very strong in that mountain country. 3 | Popalists and Prohivitioniats, Some of the calls for meetings. which the populists put up are queer. One of these new on the billboards calls for the uttend- ance of “All who think the liberties were once granted, and the happy, prosper- ous conditions we are entitled to have been taken from us, and that the plutocrat and deminate the ballot of the once free or is is quite worthy of * day: In the north and | West the populist party is largely composed | of “aliens,” and here in the south it is composed of “anttaliens.” A sinte mass meting of prohibliionists is to gust 15.

Washington bicycle riders covered them- selves with glory yesterday by beating old Father Time pretty nearly black and blue. It was ncon when Chief Consul French and Capt. Rensaville left the White House on the beginning of the great relay race to Denver, Col, as stated in The Star. Twenty minutes later Ronsaville, to whom the little mail bag had been transferred by French at 14th and R streets, was at Silver Spring, where Fister and Bingham were waiting to take their turn at carrying the precious package. Up hill and down for seven speedy miles went these two ex- cellent riders, and minutes were already be- ginning to have the seconds shaved off when they handed the bag to Fitzhugh and Lee. So it went relay by relay. Espey, Demonet, Weolridge and Claggett, Robert- son and Moran and Wood and Cabrera, all of whom, as well as the riders named be- fore them, are members of the Washington Road Club, rushed away in turns with the letters, and it was two miles the other side cf Newmarket when Cabrera threw the shoulder bag to G. S. Ball of the George- town Cycle Club, the members of which or- gcnizatior were to ride the rest of the way to Hagerstown. After flying along for four miles Ball transferred his burden to H. 8. Stock, who gave it further on to Byard Wrenn, and this ridér took it into Frederick. The country Was mountainous and bad for bicycling from Frederick City to Hagerstown, but Messrs. Keister, Moore, Maher, Greer and Horton accomplishee the journey in fine time, although Mr. Moore, who was de- ‘@ tailed to make the run from the summit of the Catoctin mountains to Middletown, met with a pretty severe accident. When Mr. Keister handed Moore the message the lat- ter_dashed off at top speed down the sloping mountain side, and when going like the wind half way down the steep descent the strap by which the message pouch was | bung around his shoulder became caught in the bicycle wheel, checking it very sud- denly. Mr. Moore took a header, «striking the pike with much force. In spite of his injuries, however, he managed to tell a gentleman who was nearby and who had Witnessed his mishap to run back and tell Keister of the acctdent. Mr. Keister was resting on the mocntain, snd instantly responded to his wounded friend's calf, and carried the message on to Mr. Maher. - Mr. Moore was cut-in several places on the face, und was bruised and gen- eratly about the body, while -his bicycle needs a number of repairs. Messrs. Hunt | and Boyd were also-unable to-ride the re- lnys which had been assigned to them, Lie former's tire having become punctured, while Mr.-Boyd’s sadale was broken. These accidents caused a delay of considerably over half an hour in the race, but in spite of this the Washington riders delivered the messuge in Hagerstown, when Mr. Horton entered the thriving burg, at 5:11 o'clock yesterday afternoon, two hours and twenty minutes ahead of schedule time. At Hagerstown the Washington men fin- ished ‘their participation in the race, and Maryland sprinters took it up. From Hagerstown to Williamsport, where the towpath of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, which was taken as the road to Cumber- land, was reached, Mr. W. Irving Calver did the riding, and following him tne pack- age was carrie? by Ernest B, Emmert, Ed- rd KH. Evans, Benjamin Diehl, Harvey ; . David Watts, Mervin Byers and Miller. The schedule time for the S° trereich Cumberland was 4345 clock this morning. Mr. Miller, however, le Mtothe ity at 1:21 o'clock, no less than three hours ard twenty-one minutes ahead of schedule time. ss Loss of probably $100,000 was caused by fire In the VendyKe Studio building, 45 Sth avenue, New York, Sunday.
