Knight Goes Upstairs to nge His Clothes. John T. Knight, a 250-pound citizen of Northeast Washington, is wanted on a charge of bigamy. He lives at No. 711 13th street. Some time ago he got his back pen- sion and bought a herse and wagon, going into the business of huckstering. Accord- ing to the warrant issued for him he was married in Baltimore in 1859, his wife's maiden name being Mary Jane Watkins. It is alleged that while his wife was still living he took unto himself a second wife, the ceremony being performed in this Dis- trict. Mrs. Mary Goodrich of Baltimore, the only daughter of the huckster, swore out the warrant. Her mother fs an invalid and has been separated from Knight for twelve years, Detective Boardman went to the huck- ster’s house last evening to arrest him.

They have canvassed those members of the House who are in the city very generally to learn how many can be depended upon to vote for an arbitration measure. They declare that labor organizations will take a larger part in polltics this fall than ever before. Records of all members of the House who will run for re-election this fall are being cormpiled and their votes on questions per- taining to the interests of the laborin, classes looked into.

Meetings of Three Committees Last Night—Decoration of the City Be- gun—The Illuminated Parade. The Pythian committees on public com- fcrt, illumination and finance met last even- ing. At the session of the last named com- mittee -the new subscriptions, mentioned in The Star yesterday, were reported. The people are untying their purse strings. They are becoming encouraged by appearances and are growing enthusiastic. Already flags ¢| are being unfuried and decorations are be- ginning to blaze. All this helps along the work of the finance committee. Subscribers to the early fund are paying up with un- wonted celerity, and business people, who heretofore have held aloof from the coming celebration, are wheeling into line. The members of the executive committee are more cheerful than at any other time during the past months of struggle and preparation. The encampment fund will be all that will be needed to Prove to the visiting knights and attendant hosts that Washington is the most hospitable city of the country, For Duty at the Stations. The public comfort committee accepted the reports of the subcommittees for duty at the railroad stations. These committees have signified their readiness to respond to the call of duty, and will take their posts on Saturday at 6 p.m. The messenger boys will report at the same time at the stations to which they have been hitherto assigned. of Convention Hall were placed music store today, and invitations are being rapidly exchanged for reserved seats.

As the Pythian parade on August 28 ts likely to occupy Pennsylvania avenue and the attention of the public until late in the evening, the committee on illumination, at a meeting last night, decided to postpone until the following night, Wednesday, Aug- ust 29, the proposed illumination of Penn- sylvania avenue. The program that has been announced for Tuesday night will be carried out on Wednesday night. This pro- gram includes the fllumination of houses and business places along Pennsylvania avenue west of the Capitol, and the illu- minated banners parade or trades display. This parade, the committee hopes, with th co-operation of the business men of t city, to make an effective feature of the festivities incident to t Knights of Pythias encampment. The parade will be formed in the vicinity of Washington Circle, and move at 8 o'clock. The line of march will be from the point of forming to the Capitol, where the line will be dismissed. Some business concerns ap- preciating the opportunity offered to show the visitors to Washington that there is a good deal of businers energy here, will be represented in the parade by illuminated floats. Others will have their business wagons in line, illuminated with lanterns. The committee is desirous of having as many business concerns as possible repre- sented in the parade, even if it is only by the ordinary business wagons hung with Chinese lanterns. Those desiring a place in the line should report the fact at once by ital card or otherwise to the marshal, Capt. Harrison 8. Barbour, 614 Penrsylvania avenue, stat- irg the number of wagons and horses to be used. This information ia desired soon, £0 as to enable the marshal to formulate the order of procession, and make the prop- er assignments. Among the jiness houses that have reported are the following: B.

A Fervent Spirit Marked the Opening Services. Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., Aug. 22, 1894. A pioneer of Methodism or veteran of the camp of Israel, coming to Washington Grove for the first time, would barely recog- nize in this pretty but dignified city of the forest a camp ground of the old time. In- stead of the glistening snowy canvas we are sheltered in attractive cottages, wherein are combined the comforts of town life and the grace of country home living. All that re- mains of the primitive camp meeting is the fervent spirit and pious activity. A number of the vacant cottages have been let for the fortnight, and families moving in, those within or near the circle being :nost favored. The county contingent are clustered about the tabernacle. They bave come for the sole purpose of hearing all the services, and have located to ad- vantage. The first actual service of the camp was the 6:45 o'clock altar worship this morning, conducted by Capt. E. H. Ripley. The elders will alternate in conducting this daily meeting. To Mrs. Clara Cohen is assigned the mothers’ meetings, which are to be held daily in Young People’s Hall at 2 p. m. Rev. J. M. Slarrow, assisted by Drs, Laney and Courtney of Berkeley Springs, Va., organized the children class, and en- rolled fifty names at the first meeting to- day. Mrs. N. C. Naylor will act as organist. The initial sermon, by Rev. S. M. Hart- sock, D. D., was a mighty appeal for the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The afternoon was devoted to the W. F. M. 8. program, which was presided over by Mrs. Annie Bovee. Mrs. E. B. Stevens, corresponding secretary of the branch, was present and addressed the meeting. Miss Gallimore, re- tuned missionary from Gundar, India, was one of the speakers, and was enthusiastic- ally received. She was costumed in a queen’s robe of the country whence she came, and where she labored zealously and successfully in behalf of Miss Mary Reed, the leper missionary, whose portrait and life brought ready purchasers. The evening sermon by Dr. E. O. Eldredge was heard by a large congregation. The service was spirited and deeply impressive. “And who now is willing to consecrate him- self this day unto the Lord” was lovingly urged upon the church “Brethren, entire consecration must be made, if, during this camp meeting, the song of praise is to mingle with the triumphant shout of souls born into the kingdom.” Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale followed in earnest exhortation, and the day closed with a revival service, in which the congregation on bended knees reverently sang the hymn of consecration. Dr. Eldredge will leave for Ocean Grove on Monday. Mrs, Frances Garrett and Mrs. A. Garrett are occupying the Mickle cottage, on 34 avenue. Prof. Henry Wilson's choir had a valued addition last evening in the person of Mr. Frank Wilson of Foundry. The grove choir is at its best this season. Mrs. Bell Ward and family are located in the Woodward cottage, on the circle. Miss Nellie Hogan and Mrs. Alma Davis have apartments with Mrs. Emily Cookson. William B. Miller and family of Brooke- ville came today, and are settled in their 6th avenue cottage. Percy Foster, who is in Providence, R. L, will return to the grove early next week. The popular soloist of the camp is Miss Laurencesorn of McKendree. The audience at the F. M. 8. meeting was delighted with her solo, “Be Not Afraid.” Prof. Hutchinson presides at the taber- nacle organ. Dr. Wilson and family are in the elder’s cottage.

Johnson of 310 2ist street, David Thomas: of 1123 20th and Earnest Pratt of 23d street, were attacked in the culvert near the Virginia end of the Aque- duct bridge by an unknown mulatto and seriously hurt. They were struck on the head with stones and bruised bodily in many places, The culvert is the ren- dezvous of a gang of policy men, headed by John Turvey, a white man. It is alleged that the assault was entirely unprovoked. It was thought by some of those hanging about the place that the men were spies in the employ of the District officials. The fight began on some one making the asser- tion that David Thomas had drawn a knife on one of the party in the culvert. Thomas denied the truth of the charge, and called on Wm, Johnson, who was standing near, to bear-him out. The combined denial brought the attack immediately, It is claimed by Johnson,» Thomas and Pratt that they did not raise a hand. It would have been utterly useless, as the whole con- gregation seemed arrayed against them on it being alleged that they were spies. They finally to Georgetown, but not until they had badly beaten. They were afraid to go back into Virginia to swear out a warrant for the attacking party, for fear of more ill-treatment. The mulatto who led the assault is a conspicuous fig- ure in Rosslyn, though the parties attacked do not know his name. Thomas lost his hat in the attack. When asked why he didn’t. back after it he said he would rather lose his hat than his head. Tenleytown Wants Free Delivery. A petition, heavily signed and headed with the signatures of the Rev.

It prays for the introduc- tion of a free letter delivery system within the boundaries of the Tenleytown district, asking particularly that one or more of Correspondence of The Evening Star. SEWALL'S POINT, Indian River, Fla., August 18, 1894. ‘With, the opening of the East Coast line of railroad to Lake Worth, and the prospect of its ultimate extension to the waters of Biscayne Bay, many of the old institutions, customs and methods of the Indian river country are fast disappearing—some of them have already gone forever. But the trading-boat is -still in evidence, although not holding its own in the onward march of civilization on the east coast. Time was when the settlers depended almost entirely upon thece floating stores for their supplies, and there was a fleet of fully thirty of them between Ormond end the Jupiter river. Now there are only seven of them, as near- ly as can be learned—two hailing from Mel- bourne, one from Eau Gallie, and one each from Titusville, Fort Pierce and two differ- ent points on the St. Lucie river. The trading boats flourished and their owners made money in the days before the deepening of the channel—when there was rot enough water in many places for even the lightest-draft steamboats—and when regularly stocked stores were few and far between along the river. Then the trading boats frequently carried merchandise ag- gregating many thousands of dollars in value, and trade was brisk and profits big. ‘They all had a look somewhat similar— generally sloop-rigged, with a low house covering nearly everything, and were from fourteen to twenty tons burden. But the settlers knew them all by name and could, in most instances, distinguish them some miles away by some little peculiarity of shape. color or rig. Their coming was - ed with delight, and their captains and crews were “hale fellows, well met” with the people at every settlement. Today I went aboard one of these boats at the pler here. She was a large, roomy craft—about sixteen tons, I should say—and hailed from Melbourne. Her shape was of the flat-iron pattern, her hull and all her wood-work painted white, and her rig that of a sloop. Below deck she was fitted up like a store—with a counter, shelves, scales, desk, etc. Her stock consisted of groceries, both staple and fancy, coarse clothing, hats, caps, boots and shoes, cloths, dry goods, notions, statiorery, books, hardware, con- fectionery, powder, -rhot, fishing tackle, guns, revolvers and general sporting goods. Views of a Captain. “Do the people along the river buy of you as much as formerly?” I asked the captain of the craft. “Well, yes,” was the reply, in a slightly doubtful tone, “we get rid of about as much stock per trip as we used to, but we don’t make as many trips as we did formerly, you see.” “Let me ask you why it is that these people buy of the trading boats when there are so many stores and the means of trans- portation so rapid and so cheap.” “I reckon our prices are just a little lower, and then the country fol get tired of selecting goods from the same old stocks in the home stores. The change is agree- able—and on top of it all it seems like many of the folks hereabouts prefer to stick to the old-custom. When we hauled up at Jensen the other day we had all we could do for four hours serving customers. They came from the settlement and from far and near in boats. Our sales there amounted to over $200, and darkness alone what is claimed as the Tenleytown district there are nearly 2,500 souls. At the present time the carrier system is in use up the Tenleytown road as far as the Loughborough. There it ceases, right on the line of the thickly populated section, and branches off up the Loughborough, which is a comparatively deserted highway, the residences being scattered far apart. Woodley lane, too, has been provided with the carrier system. Mr. John H. Wendell, one of the largest taxpayers of Tenley- town, says that Germany's smallest towns fifty years ago had a better postal service than Tenleytown has today. A Marriage That Was a Surprise. Mr. Seth Schell of 3#47both street has lost his single daughter, Minnie, and Mr. Wm. E. Boyden Wasigained a wife. Mr. Boyden had been,cajjing upon Miss Minnie for some time. Tkeparents, though, thought, whon they thougHt of the subject at all, that the two were simply friends— nothing more. Last Satur Miss Minnie told those at home she“Was going to visit a friend at Takoma Park and would prob- ably stay a day or rai She went to the Baltimore and Ohio station and there was met by Mr. yyden. Instead of going to Takoma Park the two went to . they went before aj PUt a stop to the business. The colored Hetuodioe aeeroe 1 af ter and were | People buy more than they used to. In the married. On their return’ they were for-| first place, there are more of them, and nowadays they have more money than formerly and live better in every way. The men buy jack-knives, pipes, cigars, tobacco, neckties, fishing tackle and shot; the wo- men, ribbons, handkerchiefs, hose, belts, aprons, wrappers, rs, thread and cheap jewelry; the children, peanuts and confectionery. On pleasant Saturday after- noons I have seen as many as thirty boats of all kinds made fast to this craft, and our customers would reach as many as a hundred sometimes. But six or eight times a year is as often as we go nowadays. It wouldn’t pay to keep the boat going all the time. The novelty of the thing would wear off, and the business would ‘peter out’ fast. As it is, the regular traders manage to work off a good deal of their surplus stocks through the trading boats. But their number grows less year by year. I reckon you won't see a craft of this kind on the Indian river five years from now.” The crew of an Indian river trading boat comprises generally from two to four men—the “boss” and his assistants. The latter take turns at cooking, clerking and “manning” the boat, and the nights are always divided into watches. There are always numerous pistols, revolvers and shotguns on board, for it frequently hap- pens that the “boss” must carry a large amount of money along until he gets a chance to deposit it. A trading boat was pointed out to me one day last Fel whose ong was said to have $5,000 in cash “on " But, with an express office every ten or fifteen miles, and banks in many of the river towns, this is really no longer necessary.

Mr. Ferry was at his best, his work in the fourth act arousing the audience to great enthusiasm. Mr. Temple as Pythias gave the part all the strength that it demanded. Miss Cavilier’s work as Calanthe was sur- prisingly natural. All the tender and pas: sionate scenes were given with artistic delicacy and genuine emotion. Miss Sauter as Hermion was effective. John J. Collins was excellent as Dionysius. Frederick Shafhirt made his “bit” stand out promi- nently. Talbot O, Pulizzt played Lucullu: with decided effect. Mr. J. F.

President Cleveland returned to Wash- ington at 8:30 o’clock last night from Gray Gables. He was accompanied by Secretary Lamont, who met him at New York, and by Dr. O'Relliy, who went away from Wash- ington with him, The fact that Mr. Cleve- land was expected was generally known, but there was no unusual crowd at the ratl- road depot to greet him. A ‘force of pclice and detectives was on hand to prevent any unfriendly demonstration, but there seemed to be no necessity for their presence. Pri- vate Secretary Thurber was there with an open carriage from the White House, and as ins party. descended from the train, he escorted them through the station proper, going out by way of the ladies’ cntrance. Dr. O'Reilly shared Secretary Lamont's car- riage. So far as his appearance can indi- cate, the President has evidently profited by his short trip. ——— MONTGOMERY’S CANDIDATE. Rockville Republicans Selecting Delegates to Support Dawson. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., August 23, 1894. Seldom, if ever, has such a deep interest been taken in republican primaries in this county as is now rife among the masses of the party. In this particular section many republicans who ordinarily content them- selves with quiet acquiescence in the pri- mary proceedings have spontaneously or- ganized themselves into active and enthu- siestic workers in the interest of bringing to Montgomery county the nomination for Congress. An impromptu mass meeting assembled at Fishermen's Hall in this place last evening to consider the matter of arranging a lMst of delegates and alternates to be voted for at the district primary on Satur- day next. The gathering unexpectedly de- veloped into a demonstration of no small proportions. Although there was but a few hours’ pre- vious notice of the meeting, the seating capacity of the hall was taxed to accommo- date those present. Andrew Davis presided, and 8. C. Holden acted as secretary. A number of spirited speeches were delivered, all giving voice to the sentiment in favor of a Montgomery county man for Congress. Resolutions were unanimously adopted in- dorsing the candidacy of Mr. Thomas Daw- son, and names were unanimously decided upon for delegates and alternates to the county convention, next Thursday. Before adjournment Mr. Dawson was called for, and responded in a fitting ac- knowledgment of the hearty indorsement conferred upon him. It is thought there will be practically no aoe to the ticket of delegates se- lect Two Courts-Martial.
