R. Hess. ‘News has reached here that Mr. Herbert R. Hess, formerly of this city and chief clerk of the Department of Justice under Attorney General Miller, committed suicide im Chicago on Seturday by taking morphine. The supposed cause of his act was the deep desporidency which followed upon the death of his wife and only child. Three years ago Mr. Hess was married to Miss May Brooks of this cy, and a year ago they moved to Phoenix, Ariz, where he proposed to prac- tice law. His wife died shortly after they arrived there, and the death of their only child occurred at Indianapolis a few days ago. —\_—____ Press Club Entertainment. Mr. Wilhelm Yunck, the conductor of the Symphony Orchestra of Detroit, gave a violin and song recital at the National Cap- ital Press Club Saturday evening, before a large and delighted gathering of the mem- bers and their friends. Mr. Yunck proved himself a consummate master of the in- strument and in every way deserving of the high reputation he has already earned for himself, although a comparatively young man still. He is a German by birth, and studied at a number of the leading con- gervatories abroad before coming to this country. The program that he rendered was a varied one, that gave full play to his ability and genius, beginning as he did with the Sarasate Faust fantasie, and then following this up with a number of songs, which he gave with a wonderfully pleasing tenor voice, which showed that he was only a singer than a violinist. —_——>_—_ Marriage Licenses.

In the suit for divorce instituted by Alex- ander Russell against Clara A. Russell Mrs. Russell, in support of her claim for alimony, has filed an affidavit. She declares that after her husband left her to go away as a special pension agent he placed all their furniture in storage and that from Novem- ber 7, 1893, to the following January he contributed but $20 a month for her support. Since January last she charges that her husband has not contributed one cent to her support, although often requested to so do. More than that, she says, he has re- fused to give any reason for such neglect. —_—_—_ Dismissal of the Police Officers. As a prelude to his sermon last evening Rev. Adolos Allen, the co-pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, referred to the recent Gismissal of ten members of the Police ferce. As a minister of the gospel, he said, he desired to express in a public way his hearty appreciation of the action of Commissioner Truesdell, and also of that of his associates, who have supported him in the police investigation. He said that with such men in authority, and with an officer like Sergeant Daly, the public can ecntidently hope to see unworthy persons removed from the police force, and the low dives of this city closed. This would especially be the case if ministers and church people wculd express their approval of the policy of the authorities. He said that while the church has been laboring to lift up the community, some officers of the law have been doing what they could to assist saloons, which are a curse to any community. He hoped that the Commis- stoners would carry on their investigation to the end. —___. “The Recognized Leader.” The intense drought has caused fine but- ter to be very scarce, “though we have it”. 5-Ib. boxes creamery at $1.50.

The Journey and a Hearty Welcome Received From the Members of the Ordway Rifles. Correspondence of The Evening Star. WAR DEPARTMENT GUARDS’ CAMP, SEA ISLE CITY, N. J., August 19, 1804. - At last, after an night ride full of fun, the War Department Guards, company D, sixth battalion, District of Columbia Na- tional Guard, are under canvas at this de- Nghtful resort, and are gradually settling down to rest their weary bodies. Promptly at 11:10 last evening Second Lieut. James M. Fairly commanded “Fours, right,” and the camp-bound boys formed column and marched to the Baltimore and Potomac depot, where their special car was in waiting. At the depot the boys had quite @ lively time working their way through a colored excursion crowd. A soldier is generally an inventor when it comes to making himself comfortable, and the fast-flying train was hardly out of Washiugton before its military passengers had stored, in all sorts of odd places, their numerous accouterments, and were safely ensconced in their bunks. All hands bad a jolly time, but notwithstanding the witty sallies of the more humorous, the laugh soon died out, and all was quiet, excepting the heavy muttering roll of snores. But this inconvenience was scon overcome by a counter-charge on the part of those still awake. The train was scheduled to arrive at Philadelphia at 4 o’clock this morning, but the engine was disabled by some break in its machinery somewhere this side of Bal- timore, thus necessitating a long delay. The damage was sufficient to warrant a telegram requesting another fron horse. Ia- deed, it seemed as though another engine could have been built while waiting for the new one, but finally it arrived, and the journey was continued without further in- eident until Philadelphia was reached, where, during the march across the city, one of the soldier lads declared said march —over cobble stones, mud and banana peels —a realistic reproduction of Pickett’s fa- mous charge at Gettysburg. The incoming train was two hours late, and Capt. Wilson managed to get his company aboard an ex- cursion train leaving an hour and a half earlier than the one he had intended tak- ing. So the stop-over was reduced from five hours to one and a half. The march across town was executed at “route step,” for which the men called down blessings on their captain. Not a Mad Dog. Shortly before leaving Camden, not a little excitement was caused by the ap- pearance of a fierce-locking dog, that was frothing at the mouth, at the same time rapidly going through what might be term- ed a first-class zouave drill. Of course everyone thought the animal was mad, and at once made for him. In an instant the brute would have been a dead dog, nad not ene of the railroad cfficials quietly re- marked: “Well, I'll be hanged; that dog’s got another fit.” These few words were spoken just in time to prevent a slaughter, for the boys dropped the warriors mien to watch the performance. The run to Sea Iste City was occupied by a stud: of the landscape, and some expressed great sur- prise at seeing farmers plowing and hoeing as though Sunday had never been devoted to rest, end these same fellows made it a point to rest and sleep all this beautiful afternocn. They believe in the doctrine of observing the Sabbath, and were glad to practice that belief after their tedious ride. When Sea isle City was reached, the company was formed and marched in col- umns of fours at “carry arms” before the Ordway Rifles, who were at the depot in “company front” to welcome their com- rades. “Fours, right,” was executed by the new arrivals, who halted, brought their Trifles to “present arms,” and returned the salute of Capt. Williams’.men, who march- ed before them at the “carry.” The march was continued towari Camp Stephan, the War Department lads foilowing in rear of the Ordways in columns of fours. Turning irto the y street, the latter again wheeled into line, and going to “ nt’ again honored their friends with a salute. which was acknowledged as Capt. Wilson and his men marched by. A Cordial Reception. The alignment of the two companies was made even, when Capt. Williams, in behalf of his command, extended to Capt. Wilson and the guardsmen 2 warm and hearty welcome, expressing the hope that the newcomers would have as good a time as his soldiers had enjoyed. Captain Wilson replied in a neat little speech, thanking the Ordways for their much-appreciated greeting, with a few other happy little thoughts. Then the air was almost rent in twain— if such a thing 1s possible—by one of those almost unintelligible “company yells,” re- sembling the wild cheer of the college student, only it was far more fierce and warlike. It showed the brotherly feeling existing between the two organizations, and ranks were hardly broken before the members of each were eagerly shaking the hands of their friends. Now, the dusty travelers were hungry— who would not have been, after such a jaunt—and did full justice to the break- fast that was soon served. After this a more satisfactory idea of the camp and its various appointments was obtained by its future inhabitants, as TAPPING BIG MAINS. Col. Elliot Calls Attention to Some Violations of Law. An application was recently made to the Ccmmissioners to tap the thirty-inch water main. The application was referred to Col. Elliot, who has charge of the Washington aqueduct, and he makes the following in- teresting report, which has been received by the Commissioners: “Section 1803, R. S., forbids the tapping of any main laid by the United States ex- cept by consent of the chief of engineers, and provides a penalty of not less than $50 or more than $00 for violation of this law. The thirty-inch main is a main laid by the United States. The permission given by the chief of engineers to tap United States mains, as far as I am informed, was one given in February last to Mr. Wadsworth, M. C., to connect his house in K street with the thirty-inch main. He stated to me verbally, and this applicant who has been to see me also states, that several other eennections with this main have been made in K street in the same vicinity. If this be true, and I have no reason to doubt it, I presume it was done under permits from the District water office to tap the distrib- uting main in K street, and that the plumb- ers who did the work rendercd themselves Mable to the penalty prescribed. I do not know what the regulations of the District of Columbia may be in respect of supervi- sion of work done under its permits to tap its distributing mains, but my impression is that tapping of mains can only be done by ‘tappers’ employed by the District, and I beg to suggest that the attention of the District Commissioners be called to the matter. If this be done, I also suggest that they be requested to issue no permits for the tapping of United States mains on the Canal road between the Aqueduct (Arling- ton) bridge and the foot of Foxhall Hill, and that all future applications for permits on this road be referred to this office. Some time since I discovered that in the making of two connections for houses north of the road with the twelve-inch main (I believe there is no distributing main in this road) two trenches had been excavated under the forty-eight-inch main. Both the twelve- inch and forty-eight-inch mains are quite deep, and the trenches were so near each other that there was danger of the settling and breaking of the latter main. As the pressure on it at this place is nearly fifty yunds to the square inch, much damage might have been done by carelessness and want of judgment of the plumber who did the work. The north side of the Canal road between the points mentioned is well filled with houses, and I think a distribut- ing main should be laid there as soon as possible. In the meantime no excavations should be made for connections with the twelve-inch main except under the super- vision of this office.” . ——-—— A Marble Altar Rafling.

Minor Offenders Whose Cases Were Heard in the Police Court Today. Mary Robinson is the name of a little woman who tives in Willow Tree alley. Saturday Policeman Troeter heard her using loud language and profanity. When he knocked at the door Mary went upstairs, looked out the window and inquired, “What do you want?” “TI want you to stop using such language,” said the officer, “and keep quiet, or I'll have to arrest you.” Mary promised to keep quiet and the offi- cer went to another part of his beat. When he returned later in the night Mary was still abusing her husband, but she had the doors and windows locked and thought she was safe from arrest. But the upstairs windows were open and the officer managed to get in one of them. Mary was the leader of the procession of prisoners in Judge Taylor’s court this morn- od and she had her side of the affair to relate. “My husband was drunk,” she told the court, “and when in such condition he al- ways carries a lamp about the house and causes trouble. Last Saturday he came near upsetting the gasoline stove and set- ting fire to the house, and I was trying to quiet him when the policeman came.” “Did you use any profanity?’ the tourt inquired. “Well, judge,” she answered, cited, but I don’t remember having swore. “The officer remembers having heard you,’ the judge told her, “and you are fined the usual amount.” James Halhode was as near as the police could come to getting the name given by a Uttle colored man who was found under suspicious circumstances across the Penn- sylvania avenue bridge by Policeman Robey. Many complaints had been made to the officer about persons begging at houses in the county and when-he found this particu- lar man there he asked, “What ure you doing about here?” “Come over to see a lady,” was his reply. ‘What's ae i “TI ain't goi to give her away.” Later the officer learned that Jim had been at several houses and then he’ ar- rested him. Jim then changed his mind concerning his identity and admitted that he was tramping. He said he had left Baltimore and was on his way to Cincinnati, but Judge Taylor thought two months at the national capital would not hurt him. Two colored men and a policeman gave evidence against an inoffensive colored man named Richard Walker. The latter lives in Jackson alley, and his neighbors evidently have no love for him. One of them said he threatened to “fix” him with a pistol. Rich- ard admitted that there was trouble in the alley, and charged that his neighbors caus- ed it. Judge Taylor had an idea of Richard's character, and released him. Richard declared that he woull move from the alley, and :hen he knew he would keep out of trouble. « John Herring, a young man, lives on 23d street, and Jast night when he started home he was so much under the influence of hquor that he stopped and made his bed on the sidewalk instead of going home. Policeman Plummons, who found him there, objected to his making a lodging house of the street. “Why don’t you stop drinking?” Judge Taylor asked the young ma The latter made no repl ind the court im a fine of $5, giving the defendant time to settle the bill. Sol. Green, a South Washington negro, who figures in one branch of the Police Court investigation, was a witness against Emma Washington. He gave evidence of alleged bad language used by Emma, rnd Policeman Troeter said a crowd of fully 300 Persons had collected in Willow Tree alley. Judge Taylor was told of the witness against the woman, and Emma was dis- charged. Minnie Stevenson, John Sherman and Sylvia Jones appeared on charges of dis- orderly, plead guilty and were fined. Carrie Richardson and Belle Hill, colored girls, who live in Freeman's alley, were sent down for ninety days. They were ar- rested because of complaint made to the police, and the latter gave them a bad name. ——. KILLED BY LIGHTNING, The Sad Death of Little May Hein- ecke on Saturday. There was a very sad incident at Arundel- on-the-Bay Saturday afternoon, which re- sulted in the death of little May Heinecke, the twelve-year-cld daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Heinecke of 804 11th street. There was an unusually heavy thunder- storm playing about the neighborhood, but as there was no rain falling at the time, the little one went out to a flower bed in front of the house, and while she was en- gaged with her plants, there was a sudden flash of lightning, which struck her as she stood, and she fell dead on the spot. Little May was a bright-faced, happy child, and her awful death has been a tre- mendous shock to her family and friends in this city. Mr. Heinecke is a clerk in the pension cffice, and has a summer home down the bay, where his wife and other members of the family were at the time of the sad occurrence, he himself being, on Saturday, in this city on business. Ge met his wife at the station that eveniig when she returned to town, and the afflicted cou- ple were almost prostrated with grief. The body of the child was brovght to the family heme in this city last right. May was the only daughter of the family and the idol of her parents, as well as of the other members of the family. She was very well advanced in all her studies, and was a member of Foundry M. E. Church end Sunday school, having been admitted to full communion in the church last May. The body will be brought to the city home today. The funeral will take place from the residence tomcrrow at 3 p.m., and the in- terment will be at Oak Hill cemetery. — EXCURSIONS, River View was an attractive resort yes- terday, both to the young and cold. The drawing attraction was Morris’ educated ponies, which number twelve, and their hibitions were highly appreciated by all who witnessed them. They are under com- mand of Master Leon Morris, a boy of twelve years. The wrestling pony, Banner, entertained the large audience in a wrest- ling match with John Hedge,the well-known wrestler. The affair created great enthusi- asm, as was shown by the frequent out- bursts of applause from the people. These exhibitions were free of charge, and on next Wednesday Master Morris wi!l give another exhibition of his ponies. ‘ Pressmen’s Union, No. 1, I. T. U., will give an excursion to River View tomor- row, and numerous attractions have been added to make the day an enjoyable one. The following articles are to be voted for: A_ handsome emerald and diamond mar- quise cluster ring, twenty-six diamonds, for the lady, and a fine breech-loading, double- barrel, 12-gauge shotgun for the gentleman.

NICHOLSON He is Supposed teddve Shot Himeelf While Despandent. Formerly Capteim of the Treasury Watch Force—Hei Was a Respected Citizen ef Indianapolis. Yesterday afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock Capt. E. \W. Nicholson, superin- tendent of the treasury stables, shot and killed himself at 2418 E street. There is some question as to: whether the shooting Was accidental or intentional, but as Capt. Nicholson had been despondent and out W sorts for a number of days past, it is only reasonable to suppose that the act was premeditated. Capt. Nicholson occupied a comfortably- furnished room over the stable, and direct- ly opposite Albaugh’s Theater. He was alone in his room at the time, and when the sound of the shot was heard, two men, who were sitting across the street, both of whom happened to be acquaintances of the unfortunate man, ryshed across and upstairs into the apartment, where Capt. Nicholson had lived since he had been in charge of the stables. The first one ts enter the room was a colored nian by the rame of George Chase, the janitor of the Washington Light Infantry Armory. Mr. Chase found Capt. Nicholson standing by @ washstand and holding a smoking re- volver in his hand. He was completely dressed, except that he had removed his coat and waistcoat. e wounded man wis able to walk across floor and laid the pistol on his desk then fell back ex- nausted on the bed. Dr. Johnson, who was formerly connected with the Emergency Hospital, was pass- ing by at the time, and he at once went to the bedside of the dying man. He found Capt. Nicholson unconscious and bleeding tremendously. The wound was in the ab- domen just over the tavel, and about it were the burns and marks of powder. The course of the ball showed conclusively that the pistol had been held in the right hand and close-pressed against the flesh., The wounded man was removed at once to the Emergency Hospital, where he died shortly after without having spoken a word. He was attended by Drs. Church and Smith, but they saw at once that there was noth- ing that could be done to prolong life. High Personal Character. Capt. Nicholson was about sixty years of age. He was from Indiana, and during the late war eerved under the command of ex- President Harrison. At the close of the war he returned to his home in Indianapo- lis and held a prominent position in the Police department of that city. When Mr. Harrison was made President, Capt.Nichol- son came to Washington and was appointed captain of the treasury watch. Later, he le inspector of fuel, and at the be- gizning of the present administration he was reduced to the position which he held at the time of his death, and was carried on _the rolls at a much smaller salary. He was a man of high personal character and considerable attainments, but he could not help brooding over his unfortunate fate. Of late he had spoken frequently of his de- sire to go home to see his family, but said that he was afraid to leave for fear he might be supplanted. He leaves a wife, a sor and daughter, who live in Indianapolis, and the son, Mr. Meredith Nicholson, who is one of the editoriaiwriters and in charge of the literary work of the Indianapolis News, is looked vpemas one of the brightest newspaper men andiwriters in the west.

Ccroner Hammett was notified of the oc- currence last evening and this morning he conducted a thorough examination of all the incidents connected with Capt. Nichol- son's death. He visited the stables where the shooting occured and after hearing the stories ‘of. the vartous...witnesses» decided that an inquest waz unnecessary, as the act Was presumably that of suicide. —_——>—___ At 1412 I Street.

INTERSTATE pawn ae: Some of the Members Refuse to Con- tinue the Payment of Dues. The delinquency of some of the members of the Interstate Democratic Association in the payment of their dues was the subject of considerable discussion at a meeting of the association Saturday evening. It was stated that many of the delinquents had positively refused to make further contributions, while others based their refusal to pay upon the ground that they preferred to contribute to their respective state organizations. Some of those present were in favor of expelling the backward brothers, but the matter was finally disposed of by referring the list of those in arrears to the executive committee for its consideration. A committee of five, with President Gray as chairman, was appointed to arrange with the railroads for reduced rates. The re- mainder of the committee will be announced at the next meeting. It was stated that democratic voters not members of state organizations would have to procure reduced rates through certificates from the associn- tion. The resignation of W. H. Beck, vice president for the state.of Washington, was presented, but it was not acted tpon. Jt was explained that the national democratic congressional committce was in need cf as- sistance in its clerical work, and volunteers able to wiite a fair hand were asked for. Tuohy.
