Beacon Lodge, I. 0. 0. F., Had an En- Joyable Time Last Evening. Beacon Lodge, No. 15, I. O. O. F., cele- brated its fiftieth anniversary last even- ing at Odd Fellows’ Hall, Capitol Hill, in @ most fitting manner. Seated on the plat- form at one end of the hall were Messrs. Colley and Wall, charter members of the lodge; which was organized in 1844, together with the elective officers of the organiza- tion. A large number of friends of the lodge were in attendance. Messrs. B. F. Crawshaw, R. A. Dinsmore, E. B. Hay, P. Friedlander and F. I.

Cammack. A special meeting of the Veteran Volun- unteer Firemen’s Association was held last night for the purpose of taking appropriate action upon the death of Mr. Wm. Cam- mack, who was treasurer of the organiza- tion. President James Richards explained, in a brief though feeling address, the ob- jects of the meeting, and paid a tribute to the character of the dead veteran. Other addresses were made by John J. Peabody, James Ragan, Robert Stroebel, John J. Hill, Joseph Williams and John W. Tromp- son, all of whom had known Mr. Cammac« from his youth. A commi:tee was appoint- ed to draft appropriate resiutions of con- dolence with the family. These will after- ward be engrossed and framed to be hung in the meeting hall, at the corner of H and 19th streets. The hall will be draped for thirty days. In accordance with the action of this meeting the members of the association met at the hall at 1 o’clock totay and went in_a body to the late home of Mr. Cammack, 825 H street northeast. The funeral serv- ices were held there at 2 o'clock, by Rev. C. C. Meador, pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church, assisted by Rev.

The Veteran of the Police Force— Parade of the Patriarchs—Other Matters of Interest. A young girl hasdly sixteen years of ag> was brought to the station last evening. She had evidently been drugged, as her senses appeared benumbed. She walked un- steadily and was partly uncoascious of what was going on about her. She was unable to collect her thoughts. The police had brought her over from the Virginia side of the Aque- duct bridge, where she had been lying for some time in a stupor. Her rresence there ‘was reported to the Georgetown police by 2 bridge passenger. When the officers came upon her she was not wholly dressed. She suffered them to bring her to the station without asking a question. Later, when in the cell, she became very sick. Those who have had much experience with the intox!- cated say that the girl’s condition was not brought about by an over indulgence in liquor. This morning she had recovered sufficiently to talk. From her manner and conversaticn it was easily seen that she “hadn't been in Washington long.” She was green—unsophisticated. She said her home was in Fulton county, Pennsylvanta, but that of late she had visiting her sister in Cumberland. Her mother, who had been married twice, was Mrs. Ida Bernhard. Her own name, she said, was Laura Kerns. She had = Gen s. ae ride on the canal . Bagley K., Capt. Robert Underdonk. She came all the way to Georgetown. Yesterday, she insists, she drank nothing whatever but two glasses of beer, one in the morning, the other in the afternoon. The latter, she said, made her head swim. When the boat touched’ town she left it. She does not know why. It was reported later by some one who saw her that she got on a cable car and was seen to come back to town on the same conveyance. It was then she wandered over across the Aqueduct bridge. It is alleged that a man was seen in her company over there. The girl will be returned to her kome in Penn- sylvania. . Odd Fellows’ Parade. Georgetown Patriarchie, No. 42, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, will have a street parade tomorrow evening, and en- tertainment at night, in Bethel Hall, M street. The newly ized drum corps will head the parade with Mr. Wiison How- ell as leader. There will be an exhibition drill by a select squad at 10 p.m. ‘in the hall. D. G. N. Wayman is chairman of the committee of arrangements. The Live Stocy Market. At the Arlington Live Stock Yards Mon- | day ninety cattle were up and sold.

The marriage of Fred Kettner and Miss Lizzie Elliss, which was to have been cele- brated publicly tomorrow evening at Trin- ity Church, will be private on account of the recent death of the bride-elect’s sister. The ceremony will be performed in the ghureh parsonage by the Rev. Father Roc- ‘céfort. E. W. Burdette, the last sexton of the old Presbyterian gra has begun the disinterment of all the members of his family buried there, comprising the re- mains of his two grandfathers, one grand- mother, mother, cousin and several broth- ers. The reinterments will take place at Herndon, Va. Harry Lynch of St. Louis, Mo., who has been on a visit to his sister, Mrs, John J. Harrington of 3255 M street, for the past two weeks, left for his home on Sunday. Arthur Barringer was arrested last night for forcible entry. He entered the store of John McCoy on M street, which his wife had recently been interested in. The metropolitan police force was or- ganized thirty-three years ago today. Of the original appointees but one is serving. He 1s Officer Augustus Brown of this pre- cinct, who is still hale, hearty and in ac- boop service. Mr. Brown is sixty-nine years of age. ————__. A DEFECTIVE PILLAR. The Cause of Accident in the New Hotel Building. A careful invesiigation into the causes of the disaster which occurred yesterday af- ternoon in the building which is being re- modeled for hotel purposes at the north- east corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 12th street showed that it was due to a weakness in the cap of one of the tron pil- lars supporting in part the floor of the sec- ond story. The floor was at once shored up, and a force of workmen set to work to repair the damage, which was confined to the floors and partitions. The exterior walls were not affected, and the examina- tion showed that they are sound and amply sufficient to support the required weight. The defective pillar will be replaced by a steel pillar. This accident has caused an interruption In the work of completing the building, but, with the excepticn of the loss of time, the plans of the owners of the Property will be carried out. ———_—_ AN EQUINE TOBACCO CHEWER. ‘The Owner Finds His Lost Animal in This City. A few days ago a request was received at police headquarters from Greencastle, Pa., that a lookout be kept for a horse that had been stolen there. Yesterday De- tective Horne, to whom the case was as- signed, arrested a colored man named Will- fam Bower on suspicion, as he had in his Possession a horse which exactly tallied to the description of the stolen animal, even to the fact that it chewed tobacco, as did the horse that was stolen in Green- castle. The owner of the horse was here yesterday and identified it as his. Bower will be held until papers can be made out for his return to Greencastle, where he will have to answer to the charge. ———— The Golden Cross. Goodwill Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, held its regular meet- ing last evening, Noble Commander Nelson Conover presiding. Dr. Groot, from the special committee on the subject, reported resolutions to carry into effect a by-law of the commandery in relation to the payment of assessments, which was agreed to. Knight John W. Musson was elected and installed as warder of the outer gate. Mrs. Mary I. Simonds, vice grand com- mander, was present. Other visitors were Knights Dony and Simonds of Anacostia Commandery. Remarks under the good of the order were made by Knights Perry, Groot, Steer, Dony and others. At National Commandery last evening Mrs. Belle M. Carter, noble commander, presided. Five applications for membership were presented. The degrees were confer- red on three candidates, the initiating offi- cers performing that ceremony entirely without the use of books, and in an exceed. ingly impressive manner. The statio: were occupied by the following officer: Noble commander, Mrs. Belle M. Carter; vice noble commander, Mrs. Annie L. Allen; worthy prelate, Clarence I. Gessford; past noble commander, Richard H. Yates; worthy herald, J. Bright Handy; warder inner gate, John W. Speake. A large group photograph of the present officers, good of the order and hall committees {s promi- rently displayed in the citadel, and was made by Knight Levin C. Handy. Treas- urer Yates reported that he had paid to the beneficiary of the late Knight Anthony Salmon $2,000, being the amount of the benefit certificate in their favor. Knight J. B. Bailey urged members to continue their efforts to increase the membership. The commandery was now the leading com- mandery in the jvrisdiction, and must stay there. Knight Venable of Mount Vernon Commandery mtde one of his humorous speeches. At the next meeting, on Septem- ber 24, the degrees will be conferred on five candidates. ——— One of the finest building properties in Georgetown, fronting 120 feet on Stoddert street near the corner of Washington street, one of the best resident parts of West Washington, is to be sold by trustees tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock.

Corbett that hé makes no pretensions or representations, to the American public which he does not con- sistently live up to. His professional prin- ciples are easily defined. He has gone into the theatrical business as he went into the prize ring—for financial considerations purely. There is, however, this difference: In the prize ring he is an artist of pugilism and may claim the use of the word, while on the stage he {s painfully and apparently @ novice; and to obliterate this impression of unsuitability to the dramatic profession would take him not merely a lifetime of hard work and study, but several reincar- nations. The opportunity accorded him of appcaring in a first-class theater is a forcible recognition of his popularity, but it is, on the other hand, something of a misfortune. because of the manner in which it invites critical comparison with perform- ers with whom acting is a profession and not a mere commercial incident. There is no lack of conscientious endeavor to pre- sent the play “Gentleman Jack” in such a manner that it may be taken seriously as a@ melodrama. But the effort to arouse sen-~ timental enthusiasm over the question of whether a man may simultaneously be a gentleman and a prize fighter lacks uni- versal interest necessary to make ‘it a ‘‘so- celal problem.” But the manner in which the piece has been adapted to the require- ments of Mr. Corbett commands admiration for its ingenuity. The story leads up to a ring match in a very clever manner, and it is when the champion appears in the last act, clad in the costume of the ring, that the climax of the production ts reached. The pugilist is then in his element. The ethics which surround evening dress are not present to puzzle either his mind or his hands; the audience is getting what it came after, and everybody is comfortable and interested. As a physical specimen Corbett hi discussed pretty” thor- oughly. # His exhibition with the punching bag and his sparring were both interesting, and in their way admirable. William A. Brady had attained some standing ag a melodra- matic actur before he appeared as a man- ager. Ir this drama he appears as a tramp and does some very energetic work. He 1s one of the most enterprising young men that recent times have developed. New National Theater.—With each suc- cessive season there comes a feeling of curiosity as to the manner in which negro ministrelsy will excel itself to eclipse for- mer efforts. This branch of the theatrical field has been developed with such energy that each year seems to witness the climax of scenic glory and numerical prodigious- ness. But there is always more to come, and it is a conspicuous fact that the names of Primrose and West are almost invari- ably associated with the biggest enter- prises of the kind. This year they combine all the conspicuous features that negro ministrelsy has developed. The first part opens with an array of negro ministrels who are all that the phrase implies. And the colored performers give an entertain- ment which of itself would stand as a very good show. Their music and dancing make up for what they lack in finish and artistic refinement by the native en- thusiasm with which they are rendered. Both the ballads and the comic songs went with vim, and the grotesque dancing proved highly amusing. The transformation from the old-time first part as represented by these performers to the gorgeousness of the modern setting was a very effective work- ing out of an original and ingenious idea. The sentimental ballads by W. H. Windom, the phenomenal alto, and Harry G. Castle,” baritone, elicited appreciation, and_ the work of Comedians’ Tim Wall, Lew Sully, George Primrose and George Wilson was Mberally rewarded by the spontaneous laughter which proclaims success for en- deavors of this kind. Howe, Ward and Mc- Leod succeeded in presenting some genuine novelties in the eccentric musical act, without which no minstrel performance is complete, and Rice and Elmer appeared in an amusing acrobatic specialty, entitled “A Reub’s Visit to Chinatown.” One of the most enjoyable portions of the enter- tainment was the banjo recital by Thomas E. Glynn, who interpreted styles of music varying from a breakdown to a wedding march in a finished manner, which left lit- tle doubt as to his readiness to adept a symphony or a sonata to the require- ments of that oft-decried instrument, if the audience would stand {t. George Wil- son’s monologue was enjoyed, and tumbling and equilibrium by the Arabian acrobats were a marvelous exhibition of strength and skill. The work of the orchestra, un- der the leadership of Mr. Carmichael, was highly commendable. Academy of Music.—A play new to this city, but which ts said to have had a long run in London, and which made a hit in New York last season under the title of “Charlie's Uncle,” was seen at the Acad- emy of Music last night, and it was great- ly enjoyed, too. Its title here is “Our Uncle Dudiey,” and it furnishes a great amount of amusement. The motive cen- ters on the employment of. the hypnotic art, and both the uncle and a prize fighter, who are made victims of the professor, pro- vide a great deal of fun. The company is good one, headed by Mr. Russell Bassett, who brings out of the part of Dudley Full- alove all that there is in it; Miss Lena Merrfil, who is one of the best soubrettes on the stage; Augustus Cook, Frank J. Currier, Earl Browne, Miss Augusta Nel- son, and Miss Nina Maitland. The audi- ence last night gave every manifestation of its roval of the work of these peo- ple, and the play made a hit. Butlér’s Bijou Theater.—Bartley Camp- bell’s “Galley Slave” was never better pro- duced than ft was last night at Butler's Bijou Theater, under the management of the son of the great dramatist. The “Gal- ley Slave” has long been regarded as cne of Bartley Campbell's, best productions, and its stirring situations ‘and thrilling tableaux will never be forgotten by the American Playgoer. The plot is too well known to be *| rehearsed here, and in the hands of the present company it has lost none of its in- terest. The company is by far the best ever seen at the Bijou. Miss Effie Darling, a Washington girl, is the leading lady, and her protrayal of Cicely Blaine showed a clear conception and considerable dramatic fore®. Miss Lola Gay did the Lady Jouve- nile in a very acceptable manner; Joseph Wheeler got all there was out of the char- acter of Franklin Fitz, and that sterling actor of the old school, W. W. Allen, won new laurels in his rendition of Oliver Oli- phant. Mr. Carroll®Daly won the hatred and hisses of the audience by his excel- lent acting of the villain’s part. The other members of the company were also good, and the scenery all that could be desired. Prof. John N. Pistorio, the leader of the orchestra, was also recognized last night, and received hearty applause for his excel- lent musical program. Again tonight. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Flynn and Sheridan’s City Sports played to a crowded house at Kernan’s last night. Since last seas@ the company has been materially strengthened and the program presented is long and entertaining. A new comedy, en- titled “Love vs. Mischief,” proved a good medium for introducing the strength of the company, and the grand medley at its conclusion was applauded. The Sisters Ar- nold, in character songs, were good; the Gotham trio sang themselves into favor; Snyder and Buckley proved themselves musical comedians of considerable merit; Wren and Daly introduced many originall- ties, and the Wheelers did a novel sketch. ‘The feature of the entertainment was the appearance of the four Nelson sisters, without doubt the most finished gymnasts in the world, and whose aggregate weight 1s 620 pounds, yet who performed the most difficult acrobatic feats with the greatest ease. A one-act burlesque, entitled “A Hot Night,” closed the performance. Again to; night. A RECEIVER ASKED FOR To Take Charge ofthe Affairs of the Ana- costiat Railroad. The Result of a Verdict for Damages— The Marshal: Unable to Exe- eute the Juilgment. A judgment of but $500 secured by, Sarah Williams against the Anacostia and Po- tomac River Railroad Gompany may place the rcad in the handssof a receiver and wind up its affairs, On ‘the 23d of last June Mrs, Williams, an elderly woman, recovered a judgment agairst the company for $300 in a suit growing out of injuries received by her in being thrown from one of the company’s cars. She endeavored to collect the judg- ment, but the marshal was unable to find anything on which to levy. Mrs. Williams and her husband, Wm. H. Williams, there- fore today filed a bill in equity against the company and Charles A. James and Charles C. Glover, trustees, praying for the ap~ pointment of a receiver, and that the af- fairs of the company may be wound up and its property and assets subjected to the payment of the judgment. The complainants ‘state that October 1, 1891; the company, in order to secure 400 registered bonds of the par value of $500 each, payable in forty years, conveyed to Messrs. James and Gicver sub lots 767-78 in Aracostia, together with all other prop- erty, real, personal and mixed, of the com- peny. July 1, 1892, a second conveyance was made by the company to the same trustees of the came property to secure 100 registered bond: of $0 each and 500 bonds of $100 each, these bonds being pay- able in twenty years. The complainants state that they do not know how many bonds have been issued by the company, but they allege that the company is in- solvert, that it is beingerun at a loss and that its entire property and assets are in- sufficient to pay and discharge its debts and ilabilities. They also state that the interest on the mortgage bonds is over- due and uapaid, and that a sale of the ef- fects of the company Is liable to take place at any time. —_——__. A VETERAN'S PLIGHT. His Request to Be Sent to the Work- house Granted. There was an unusually sad case in the Police Court that came to light when John Bell went into the dock on the charge of vagrancy. The officer who arrested Bell said that he came to him last night and asked to be sent to the workhouse, Beil’s appearance was considerably above that of the average prisoner in the Police Court and Judge Kimball asked him to tell why he made such a reque: Bell said that he a pensioner and a former occupant of the Soldiers’ Home, but left there some time ago. He was appar- ently an able-bodied man, but said that his disabilities prevented him from doing manual labor. He drew his pension money last week, but for the first time in all his life he spent it all in rum shops without putting by a cent to last him until next persion day, three months heace. im awfully sorry, your honor,” said Bell, “but this will;be a lesson to me I'm not likely to forget as long as I live. I can’t get any work to do and 1 won't go on the streets to beg. I am in absolutely des- titute circumstancesand I haven't a friend in town. You will be deing me a great 1: vor if you will send me to the workhouse for three months, ‘@he mext time I get my pension money 1 will take better care of it, 1 promise you.” There did rot seem to be anything else for the judge to do but grant Beil’s request, and he went down fer winety days. Important Meeting ef the Board of Diree Last Night. The board of directors of the Choral Society held a meeting dast night at 1121 Vermont avenue, at whieh it was decided to commence rehearsals this season on the 17th lastant. These rehearsals will be held at Typographical Hall, on G street, and it is hoped that there will be a full attendance from the first. The selection of the initial concert will be the oratorio of St. Paul, which will be presented at Convention Hali on, November 7. The quartet for this work will be Miss Lillian Blauvelt, soprano; Miss Florence Stidham, contralto; Mr. Anton Schott, tenor, and Mr. Emil Fischer, bass. This is a remarkably strong combination, and proves that the society is fulfilling its Promise to supplement its own excellent |) work by the best soloists obtainable. It ts an ambitious undertaking for the society to give St. Paul thus early in the season, but Prof. Kaspar, the musical di- rector, is satisfied of the ability of his force to do and it is believed that the members will aid him by constant attendance at re- hearsals. It is a ‘matter of regret to the directors of the Choral Society that the project for a large organ in Convention Hall fell through, for such an instrument would have been of great assistance to the society in its oratorio work, but it will have an excellent orchestra as an accompani- ment, arrangements to that effect having been made with Mr. Itzel of Baltimore. Mr. Mason's resignation as a member of the board of directors was received and ac- cepted, and Mr, J. H. Seiffert was elected as his successor. President William H. Daniel presided at the meeting last night, and there were present: Dr. Frank T. Howe, vice presi- dent; Maj. Norman H. Camp, secretary; Miss Norton, assistant secretary; Miss Leavitt, financial secretary; Mrs. Meade, reat Mr. Fugitt, Mr. James and Mrs. Ellis, ae Percy S..Foster’s Plans. It was stated some time ago that, owing to a change in his business arrangements, Mr. Percy S. Foster would make his home in another city. Mr. Foster, however, states that he has now definitely decided to remain here. Owing to his connection with the Christian Endeavor Union as the first president and as the leader of the choir, the members of that organization will be glad to learn of his decisiom. Mr. Foster was also the leader of the great Moody choir, and was one of the musical directors at ee Endeavor convention in Cleve- ni The Baker’s Bill TELLS OF GREATLY INCREASED APPETITE. “It affords me great pleasure to tell not only the condition of my present bad but also that of jo0d’ 4 After two bottles a great change in my health was noticed.
