The financial preliminaries of the Colum- bla Street Railway Company in the cable road project have been satisfactorily com- pleted. On Tucsday the subscription books of the company were closed and the sum of $00,000 necessary for the betterment ‘was exceeded by $150,000. This money was raised by the sale of 6 per cent 20-year bonds to stockholders of the company, which will be issued on October 1, the date choseg for the commencement of the work of laying the cable by Contractor Saxton. He expects to complete the contract by January 1. It is understood that $0,000 worth of the bonds were taken by the rep- resentative of an Erglish syndicate. —_——>——— Failed to Meet the Committee. ‘Through a misunderstanding there was no meeting last evening between the execu- tive committee of the Democratic Interstate Association and the late treasurer of that organization, Mr. H. F. J. Drake, whose accounts are to be rendered to the com- mittee for inspection. The committee un- derstced that the meeting was to be held at the hall of the association, and Mr. Drake was sure that the place was to be at his store, 52 H street northwest. Another meeting will be arranged. The Cattle Market. At the cattle market at the Union Stock Yards at Benning yesterday 36 cattle were on the market and sold as follows: Best 4c. to 41-4e. per Ib.; good sold common sold from 2c. to 21-2e. 331 sheep and lambs on market and sold as foliows: Old sheep sold from 2 to lambs sold from 3 Royal Arcanum.

Opposing Views as to the Value of Street Railroad Franchises—The Property of Cities. The National Statistical Association, at its j@stponed meeting held last night at the Columbian University, had an interesting bout with economics. The income tax and the property holdings of corporations and municipalities were the subjects that en- grossed attention. The income tax, how- ever, did not provoke any discussion, being alluded to by means of a paper that had been received from Senator Walsh, recently elect- ed a member of the association. In this paper, which was read by the secretary, Chas. S. Hill, the Senator reaffirmed his ar- guments in support of the tax which he ad- vanced in his speech-in the Senate some months ago, urging that the levy is just and equitable, and places the burden of tax- ation on those most able to bear it. it was expected that a controversy and discussion might be aroused by the opposi- tion of the views of Senator Hill to those of the Georgian, but this did not occur. The side of Senator Hill was represented by a Senate document, comprising a letter writ- ten to Senator Hill by Worthington C. Ford, chief of the treasury bureau of statistics, in which he demonstrated to the Senator that the income tax would not prove a benefit to either citizens or the government. This document was not read, however, as it was decided that Mr. Ford should be present when this was done. Accordingly Dr. Nim- tro, his predecessor in office, proposed hi: name as a member of the association, ai he was unanimously elected. At the next meeting Mr. Logan Carlisle, chief clerk of the Treasury Department, will address the association on the figures relative to the tax, and it is expected that later Mr. Ford may give a paper explaining his figures, which are not wholly consistent with those in the possession of Mr. Carlisle. Not Included Statistics, The real debate of the evening was pre- cipitated by a few remarks offered by H. A. Lockwood of the customs division of the treasury, who arose in response to the invi- tation of the association to call attention to the fact that there has not been, in any available form, a compilation made of the amount of wealth or property possessed by cities, states and the nation in the way of real estate, such as parks, school sites, etc., and franchises that produce a revenue. Municipal corporaiions have never yet, he said, given separately their belongings, and he had never seen an accurate statement of what the United States would own if it were considered an individual. There had been several vague, general estimates made of this sum, but not in a reliable form, For instance, this item would be vastly important in considering the subject of the debt of a city. New York, as an example, has now a debt of $40,000,000, with a sink- ing fund of about $40,000,000, thus reducing the actual indebtedness down to about $100,- 000,000, But there is also property held by the city, in the form of parks, franchises, docks and other assets, that, if capitalized at a fair figure, would give the city credit for an enormous sum of millions, which would far exceed the indebtedness, and show that New York has a status much more to her credit. The landed property of the city alone might almost be equivalent to $00,000,000, What is wanted, said Mr. Lockwood, is to start an inquiry among scientific men to show what property is held by the states and cities and by the United States, to see what. these corporations, in other words, are really worth. This has heretofore been left largely out of any state- ments on the subject of the wealth of the nation that have heretofore been made. These values are not taxed, of course, and therefore are not capitalized. The Corporate Wealth. Dr. Nimmo suggested that this item must have been included in the calculations of Mr. Upton, the special agent of the census who investigated the wealth questions, and who footed up the total wealth of the na- tion at about $65,000,000,000, which includes every kind of property. This, however, was not altogether agreed to, and Mr. Lockwood went on to state that the street railway franchises, which are the means of great revenue to cities, are not capitalized or estimated as wealth in any of the statements. They form a sort of leasehold, revertible to the city after a certain period of years, during which the city derives a revenue, and which is there- fore to be considered in the light of value, much as a piece of land which produces a regular rental. He suggested that Congress be asked by the association to institute an inquiry into the subject of the corporate wealth of the nation, and he suggested the name of Carroll D. Wright as the most Ukely official to be designated for this task. This brought Mr. Smiley to his feet with the statement that most, if not all, of the statistics mentioned by Mr. Lockwood have been collated by the census office, and are now In that bureau, though they may not } yet have been put out in the publications. He spoke particularly of the parks that are owned by the cities, and poiated out the difficulties that are in the way of an accu- rate or even a fair valuation of them as property at this time, so far away from the time of their acquirement by the forpora- tions. Among the items of value that have been included in the census office inquiries on the subject are cemeteries and gas and water plants where owned by cities. Street Railroad Franchises. Mr. Smiley thought, though he was not certain, that these, or a general estimate of them, had been included in Mr. Upton’s total valuation of the wealth of the nation, though they may not have been itemized. He went on to speak of the street railway franchise as too nebulous and fictitious a value to be included in such an inquiry. There are too many elements, he said, en- tering into the matter to create a fuctua- tion to permit these holdings to be consid- ered as wealth in the same sense as the park or the gas plant. This precipitated a jong discussion, which ranged through the entire length and breadth of political econ- omy befere Dr. Nimmo suggested that it was 10:30 o'clock, and then the association adjourned. Vice President Stevenson and Senators Cullom, Teller and John P. Jones were made honorary members of the association, and Representative Jerry Simpson was elected an active member. The meeting was pre- sided over by Mr. J. Edwards Clarke of the bureau of education, one of the vice presi- dents, ae Entertainment at Soldiers’ Home. A highly creditable entertainment was given by the Washington Musical Company at Sheridan Hail, in the Soldiers’ Home grounds, last Tuesday evening. A large crowd from the city went out, and the seating capacity of the haji! was taxed to its utmost. The program opened with a banjo duet by Masters W. Burke and T. Daw, who were heartily encored, and re- sponded with patriotic selections, which were greatly enjoyed, especially by the old soldiers. Mr. J. J. Keating, a member of St. Patrick's Church choir, sang “An- chored” in a pleasing manner, anil Mag- dalene Turnburke captivated the audience by her singing and dancing. Miss Mollie Wright, solo soprano of St. Dominic's Chureh choir, sang “Fleeting Days” and ‘Night Birds Cootng” in an artistic man- ner. Mr. W. Graham rendered “For All | Eternity” with good effect. Master John | Downey was excellent in a violin solo. Mr. Linwood Taylor's appearance was greeted with applause, and he was obliged to sing again and again. Miss Blanche Wood's rendition of “Carmena” was a masterpiece. The program concluded with a grand gipsy carnival. Miss M. A. Browne sang the role of gipsy queen in an artistic manner. The entertainment was under her direction, and much credit is due her for its success, Miss Katherine C. Browne recited “Cur- few” and the “Irish Flag” with great pathos. The other niembers of the chorus were Misses B. Wood, M.Wright, R. O'Neill, | M. Johnson, M. Turnburke and Uttle Bessie | Johnson, whose singing and dancing great- ly pleased the audience. “The Angels of | Buena Vista,” as recited by Misses Camilla Fitzgerald and Mabel Cullen, was heartily encored.

Mr. James Edward Moses, ‘well known in this city and vincinity as proprietor of the Brightwood Hotel and as a lover and trainer of horses, died yesterday at the residerce of his nephew, G. L. Peckham, 1130 224 street northwest, after an illness of about three weeks. The funeral will occur tomorrow at 3 o'clock at the First Baptist Church, on 16th street. Dr. Stakely will officiate. Mr. Moses was a brother of the late Wm. B. Moses, the well-known furniture mer- chant of this city. He was born in New- port, R. L, on the 13th of February, 1836, and at the age of thirteen he and his broth- crs William and John went to Gardiner, Mass., to work with the Hayward Com- pany at wood finishing. The brothers later went together to Philadelphia, where they Went into business as furniture dealers. There Edward was taken ill and, after being given up twice for dead, he rec sv- ered. His lungs were then affected, and his constitution was undermined. In 1865 he came to Washington, and, at the ad- vice of his friends, he took charge of the cld race track near the Government Asy- lum near Anacostia. It was thought that the outdoor life around the horses would berefit his health, and it probably pro- longed his life many years. He had a nat- ural love for horses, and was by instinct a trainer and veterinarian. He was ac- customed to tell a story about his earliest experience in this direction with consid- erable erjoyment. When he was fifteen years old there was an old horse at the Place where he lived that had long been given over as fit only for the bone pile. Poor and gaunt, the veteran had but just strength to walk about and browse, al- thovgh he had little taste even for green grass. Young Moses took a fancy for the old fellow and gave him a daily exercise by walking him up and down in the hope of reviving his appetite. One day he no- ticed that the horse insisted upon walking toward a clay bank on the side of the road.. The youth concluded to allow the horse to follow his nose and the ag2d creat- ure went to the bank and ate some of the clay. He did this daily until the animal was returned to a splendid condition and lived for several years to do some good hard werk. This clay cure of young Moses became quite famous in New England at the time. In 1867 Mr. Moses took the half-mile track near Brightwood and ran it for about ten years, when he opened the hotel that afterward became known to every driver and roadster in and around this city. This was at first located in a frame building south of the site of the present hotel, 2nd was burned down in 1881. Mr. Moses then secured the large brick house at the crest of the hill and there he has been host up to the present time. Mr. Moses died at the same age of his brother William B. His complaint was consumption of the bowels, and he has been ailing seriously for about a year past. He was unmar~ied, but his genial nature had made for him hosts of good friends, all of whom mourn his death. He was very generous and gave liberally to the, members of the little community at the top of the hill on the 7th street read. His acts of charity, though not os- tentatious, were numerous. AMUSEMENTS. “A Wild Duck.”—Joseph M. Gates’ latest farce comedy, Wild Duel will be pre- ented for the first time in Washington at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House next week. The first production of this play was last Monday night at the Chestnut Street The- ater, Philadelphia, and its merits once attracted the attention of the public and press. The company is a large one, con- sisting of twenty-two people, headed by Mark Sullivan and Marie Stuart, two very “bright entertairers, both of whom are well known and liked. .The play is staged sumptuously; therefore a very attractive performance can be promised to lovers of the light dramatic entertainments. “Tennessee's Pardner.”—The company presenting “Tennessee's Pardner,” which will appear at Butler’s Bijou Theater for one week, beginning September 17, have all been selected for their individual suit- ability for the parts they represent. Miss Cora Van Tassell as Tennessee Kent, the sirl from Smokey mountain, has achieved a success that has been marked by the approval of the press and public and stamped her as the most capabie successor of Pixley and Lotta. Tne play affords ex- cellent opportunities for her clever and artistic versatility and her breezy per- formance of the title role adds another triumph to her list of successes. Miss Van Tassell’s success ig due to the fact that she does not appear to imitate, but is to all intent and purpose the living embodi- ment of her part, and carries with her the entire sympathies of her) audiences, who weep with her in her sorrows, and rejoice with her in her happier moments. To Mr. Kingsley, late leading man of the “White , Squadron” company, has been intrusted the part of Caleb Swan, the high-toned and legitmate gambler, a part for which Mr. Kingsley is eminently fitted by nature and experience in similar roles. Week commenc- ing, Monday, September 24, Jno. L. Sulli- van In “A True American.” Cc. W. Williams’ Comedians.—There will be an unusually strong bill at Kernan's Lyceum Theater next week, the attraction being C. W. Williams’ Comedians, an or- ganization composed of leading members of the vaudeville world. First comes Mlle. Charcot, of hypnotic fame. She will invite gentlemen from the audience and demon- strate very clearly that she is no ordinary person and that she possesses wonderful magnetic or mesmeric power. One of her remarkable illustrations is to pass a needle and thread through the ears, nose, lips and wrists of her subjects without causing them the slightest pain; such a feat would be utterly impossible unless the patient wus in a state of hypnosis. Others in the com- pany are Al. Reeves, Marlo and Dunham, the Hiatts, C. W. Williams, Morton and Revelle, C. P. Wormwood and his troupe of dogs and monkeys, Miss Dorothy Drew, the Brilliant Quartet, direct from the Amer- fean Roof Garden, New York city, and several others. The Tavary Opera Company.—The tour of Madam Tavary, who, with an excellent company, will appear at the National Thea- ter next week, gives the greatest promise. She is appearing under the direction of Charles H. Pratt, admittedly the most cap- able operatic manager in America, He has surrounded Madam Tavary With a list of principals which for strength has never been excelled. They include Emma Mariana and Sophia Romani, sopranos; Helen Von Doendoff, Thea Dorre and Dora Scott, con- traltos; A. L. Gville (whose name is suf- ficient to attract Washingtonians), Payne Clark and William Warren, tenors; William Mertens, F. UL. Hill and S. Dudley, bari- tones, and William Schuster, basso. There will also be an excellent orchestra and chorus. The musical director is Senor Emerico Morreale of the Italian Opera House in the City of Mexico. The reper- tolre announced for next week is as fol- lows Monday, “Il Trovatore;” Tuesday, “Carmen; Wednesday matinee, “Bohemian Girl,” Wednesday night, double bill, “Caval- leria Rusticana,” - Pagliacci; Thursday, “Lohengrin;” Friday, Saturday matinee, a popular opera; Saturday night, “Tannhaeuser.” The sale opened this morn- ing and already indicates the largest ad- vance sale in many years. —_>__- A Deaf and Dumb Vag. In the line of prisoners in the dock at the Police Court this morning there was one who failed to respond in any way when the information was read by Clerk Harper, charging him with being a vagrant. It was rather a nice-looking and intelligent young white man, by the name of Charles Steele. The officer who arrested nim ex- plained his reticence by telling Judge Kim- ball that he was deaf and dumb. At the station ho.se last night Steele sald, through the medium of pencil and paper, that he was from Maryland, and came here last Monday, having left his home on account of the harsh treatment of his parents, who had I'ttle sympathy with him for his affliction. He said that he had no friends in this city, and was unable to get work. His case occupied more time this morning than is usually allotted to “vag” cases, for the judge wanted to hear his whole story, and both had to write what they wanted to say. Judge Kimball's disposition of the case was probably the best possible. He ordered that the yovng man be held until his pareats could be communicated with, and he asked Mr. Harper to write a letter to the father, Charles H. Steele, Silver Hill P. O., Prince George's county, telling him that his boy was in trouble here, ee Mr. George T. Dearing has been elected a director of the Lincoln National Bank to fill a vacancy. ABOUT GEORGETOWN The Marriage of MissMBrooke to Mr. Zim- merman Lasf Evening. Sufcide of Harry-Green, a Resident of the State of WasBington—Other Matters, of Interest. Last evening St. <Alban’s Episcopal Church, above Georgetown, beautifully dec- orated with flowers and plants, was the scene of one of the prettiest weddings that have taken place here in a long time. The contracting parties were Miss Minnie Violet Brooke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Brooke of Georgetown Heights, and G. W. Zimmerman of West Virginia. Within the church had gathered a host of friends. The bride, who is one of the most pronounced of brunettes, was attired in a handsome gown of white flowered silk, trimmed in chiffon lace and ribbon bows. She wore a vell, fastened with a magnificent pearl pin, the gift of the groom, and carried bridal roses. The attendants were two dainty little maids, Miss Blanche Hunt and Miss Effie Brooke, sister of the bride. Both were costumed in white silk, and carried pink roses, tied with ribbons of pink and Nile green. Rev. Neilson Falls, pastor of St. Alban’s, performed the ceremony. The ushers were B. B. Hunt, George Langley, Altert Evans and George Fengle. The wed- ding march was played by Mrs. Frank Middleton. The immediate members of the family were entertained at supper. The wedding gifts were costly, numerous and beautiful, embracing ornaments of graceful ‘ign and workmanship. One of the most appreciated presents reczived was a pair of quilts, made by the groom's mother, that have taken first prize at three of the south- ern fairs for fine needlework and general excellence of make. Mr. and Mrs. Zimmer- man left after the supper for New York, where they will spend a week or more. On their return they will make their residence at the Brooke home, on 32d street extended, until thelr own house at 13th and Corcoran streets is prepared for occupancy. Suicide of Harry Green. News has keen received here of the sul- cide of Harry Green, son of the late Mark Green, for many years an officer of the metropolitan force. The truth of the report has been verified through a telegram sent by reqvest to Lieut. Swindells by Bolton Rogers, chief of police in Seattle, Wazh., where the suicide was committed. The first report of the death came through a tele- gram sent to the young man’s mother by the updertakers who were given charge of the body. The mother came to town from her home on the Conduit road near the receiving reservoir, acquainted her brother, Mr. Stallings, with the news, and Lieut. A PASTOR The Congregation of the Eastern Presbyterian Church and Dr. Easton. The congregation of the Eastern Presby- terlan Church tendered a reception last night to their pastor, Dr. Thos. C. Easton, in the handsome lecture rooms of the church. A delightful program was given, opening with the rendition of Liszt's “Erl King’ on the piano by Miss Springszuth. Mrs. J. C. Worden, in the name of the con- gregation, presented Dr. Easton with a purse of money. John P. Clum, an elder of the church, made an address, to which Dr. Easton feelingly responded. The pastor and his wife then held a reception, while the members of the congregation filed past the reading desk and shook their hands. A quartet, consisting of Mrs. W. B. Patter- son, Miss Mattie Miller and Messrs. Charl Myers and Charles Squires, sang Pinsuti’s r Night, Beloved.” This was followed by n enjoyable hour of social reunion.

Many of them Swindells was sought in the hope of secur- ing definite information. The telegram from the chief of police, received this morning, states that young Green took carbolic acid. No cause was assigned for the deed. Harry Green left Georgetown about five years ago to engage in the lumber business at Seattle. Previous to his departure he had been in the drug business here. His friends and ac- quaintances here were many. His death will be particularly mourned by his mother and two brothers, Frank and‘John. The de- ceased was about twenty-six years of age.
