The Court of Appeals met this morning for the second time since the summer re- cess, Mr. Chief Justice Alvey and Asso- elate Justices Morris and Shepard being Present. The session was very bricf, and after the admission to practice of several attorneys, the court adjourned for the day. ‘The chief justice explained, however, that during the remainder of .he present term the court would meet from day to day, but merely for the purpose of receiving mo- tions. No regular call of the calendar would be nad, he sald, until the October term. That term, he remarked, would be- gin on the first Monday of that month. But before that time, the chief justice fur- ther explained, the modification of the rules of the court, made necessary by the recent act of Cengress amendirg the act estab- Ushing the court, would be made and pro- muigated. The rules as modified, the chief justice stated, would take effect ut the end of the present term. Hereafter, he said, a separate docket would be prepared, which docket would be the one first called at the beginning of the different terms of the courts. Such docket would contain all ap- pealable interlocutory orders, criminal cases and all other céses which were specially en- litled to a speedy hearing. —__—_. & New Real Estate Firm. D.

ABOUT GEORGETOWN The Formation of = Social Olub Earnestly Discussed. A Suggestion for Securing the Use of a Fire Engine for Tenleytown —Other Matters. The first authentic information of the finding of the body of Harry McMayo of Tenleytown near Fredericksburg, Va., was received here yesterday by Attorney J. J Waters in a letter from Henry Myer of the Fredericksburg Star. He writes that he was out hunting with a friend, whea, in a lonely tract of woods, he came across the body, with a bullet hole in the temple and a pistol lying near. He had known Mc- Mayo for nearly ferty years, he having formerly resided in the vicinity, and 3aw that the body was properly buried. On searching the pockets of the dead man he found a few valueless papers, bearing the business stamps of Mr. Waters, which led to the writing of the letter. Mr. Waters had recently transacted a little egal busi- ness for deceased. He was requested to notify the wife of her husband's death and speak to her of the interment that had taken place. McMayo was nearly sixty-five years of age. He had served in the Mex- ican war, being one of the Texan Rangers, and had also, it is said, done service in the late war H2 married his wife in Mexico. There are no living children. McMayo leaves a sma!l lot on University Heights, improved by a two-room frame, on which there is a mortgage of $100. Proposed Social Club. There is a movement on foot here looking to the establishment of a local club, the membership of which shall be composed of the leaders in the social and business com- munity. It has been talked of for some time recently with increasing interest. The prime movers are lawyers and insurance men. The idea is to lease some one of the old-fashioned roomy houses on one of the best streets of town for a club house. Spe- cial attention will be paid to the quality of the membership, it being the intention of the promoters to make the organization one of social standing. An early organization movement may be expected. . Fire Protection for Tenleytown. The question of protection in time of fire, which on the occasion of every city con- ‘flagration is discussed in Tenleytowr with renewed seriousness, has also become one of interest to Georgetowners, who fully ap- preciate the havoc that a fire in Tenley- town would work. Dr. A.B. Shekells suggests that the most practical and economical way of protecting the little town is to have constructed a low truck, sufficiently strong to bear the weight of the George- town engine. Keep it sidetracked always in Georgetown, say in the yard of the old Police station on the canal, and at the electric road's terminus. Should a fire break out in Tenleytown, the department here could be notified by telephone imme- diately, the engine mounted on the truck, tached to one of the cars, always on the stand, and in eighteen minutes the. fire fighters and their engine could be at the scene. As not only Tenieytown proper, but the road thereto, is adequately supplied with water and plugs, the rest would be- come as easy as fire fighting in George- town. Other citizens believe in the prac- ticability of the plan and heartily indorse at. It is said that the railroad company would not hesitate to donate a car in tine of emergency, particularly as they have large interests at stake on the Tenleytown road. Notes of Interest. Past State Councillor Geo. E. Howard of this place will deliver the opening address tonight at Alexandria on the occasion of the celebration of the third anniversary of the organization of Alexandria Council, No. 33. His subject will be “The Objects, Prin- ciples and Aims of the Junior Order United American Mechanics.” Keno Council of Tenleytown will be represented by Past Councillor Thomas M. Bolling. Many other lodges of the district will also send delegations to the celebration. Mr. John H. Wendel, while dressing the wounds on his son’s horse, which were in- flicted a few nights ago by some barbar- ously cruel person, was kicked on the arm and painfully injured. This horse is the one that had his face hacked by some person while in a strange pasture, and presumably by one who took it for a police officer's horse. The little three-year-old daughter of Geo. W. Allen feil from a rear window of her home yesterday. Severe cuts over the left eye and under the chin were received, neces- sitating the putting in of several stitches. It is reported that while riding on the Arlington road yesterday near the National cemetery Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Kessler of Washington were held up by highwaymen, who attempted to forcibly- take some jewel- ry from them. The sudden starting of the horse, together with the struggles of the held-up ones, saved the valuables. The grain boat Seneca has arrived with 1,000 bushels of wheat and 20 tons of hay consigned to J. G. & J. M. Waters. Wheat is bringing 52 cents and hay from $10 to $12. John Crowley has been elected president of the Georgetown Catholic Union, vice Joseph McGirr, resigned. — PRIVATE AND REGULAR ALARMS. One of the Questions Involved in the Stamph Fire, As suggested in an editorial in The Star, one question to be inquired into respecting the tire at the Stumph factory, destructive to life and property, was whether inatten- tion to a private alarm was not in some degree responsible. The first alarm was turned in from an automatic signal box in front of the building, and it appears that the alarm was sent in to the nearest en- gine house instead of being sent out as a regular alarm. The treasurer of the Na- tional Automatic Fire Alarm Company has written a letter to the Commissioners call- ing attention to the. way in which fire alarms transmitted through the autematic system are handled at fire alarm headquar- ters, they being treated as “still alarms” instead of regular alarms, thereby caus- ing a loss of some time before, in the case of a big fire. an adequate number of engines can be brought to the scene of the fire. “In the case of the Stumph fire,” says the letter in conclusion, “even without the assignment of special numbers, which, we think, should have been given us at the outset, the nearest street box number might have been sent out from fire headquarters, thus bringing to within a very short dis- tance of the premises the regular number of engine companies, etc. As our alarm, both manual and automatic, worked per- fectly and as the signal went practically direct and instantly from our box in the Stumph building to the central telegraph station of the city, it would seem that a loss of several miautes resulted from send- ing in the alarm to the nearest engine house, instead of sending out the nearest bex number, because the alarm from that box, as we understand, was not sent in until engine No. 6 arrived in response to the still alarm and found assistance neces- sary. We write this not only for the pur- pose of requesting that the city fire alarm telegraph station be instructed to arrange so that signals received from us will be properly transmitted, but principally for the purpose of requesting your honorable body to thoroughly investigate the whole J place the responsibility, if any 7 ngs. Criticisms have been made that some cne is responsible and we feel, under the cir- cumstances, that it does not lie with us.” -— > The Claim Considered Reasonable. The auditor of the court, Col. James G. Payne, has reported to the court in the case of Butler against Strong, that the sum of med by the receivers, Wm. F. Mat- y and Andrew RB. Duvall, appears to sonable. The receivers were appoint- ed March 2, 1889, to take possession of the ”) awarded in the case, but the treas- ury officials refused to deliver it to them, holding that it should remain in their cus- tody. The receivers were appointed about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and about two hours later gave a bend in the sum of $100,- 000, making demand for the award next day. ——_>_—_.

Dr. Greene Elected Temporary President and Prof. Montague Dean of the Faculty. Rey. Dr. Samuel H. Greene, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, was yesterday elected temporary president of Columbian University to succeed the late Dr. James C. Welling. Dr. Greene has been the vice president of the institution for some time, and the action of the board of trustees was a pleasant recognition of the valuable ser- vices he has rendered it, and the conscien- tious fidelity with which he has cared for the university’s interests. His duties will te confined to presiding over the corpora- tion, as the trustees took other important action at the same meeting by selecting Prof. Andrew P. Montague as dean to act until another president is elected or until the further pleasure of the board. Prof. Montague will therefore be the virtual pres- ident of the university, assuming all the duties of the late Dr. Welling in connection with educational matters. He will also pre- side at the meetings of the college faculty. Prof. Montague has been connected with the institution ever since he was graduated with high honors from the University of Virginia, in 18° He was at first a teacher of Latin in the pri tory department. Despite his youth his abilities as an edu- cator as well as his success in original re- search attracted the attention of his su- periors and colleagues, and his eventual se- lection as principal of the preparatory de- partment was commended for its wisdom. Upon the establishment of the university he Was chosen, in 1884, its first professor of Latin, and he fills, and will continue to fill, both the preparatory principal's and the Latin chair as formerly. His family has long been prominent in Virginia, and he ts happy in a charming wife, who was former- ly Miss May Christian of Richmond, and two lovely and interesting children. ‘Prof. Montague was the founder of the Washing- ton Alumni Society of the University of Virginia, and is its first vice president. He also succeeds Dr. Welling as president of the Philological Society of the Columbian University. He has written much, and his work has received wide recognition. No American has published so much upon epistolary Latin. Among other things, he has edited the letters of Cicero, and an edi- tion of the letters of the younger Pliny, pre- tae ry _ just been issued by his ers. He is at present preparing an edition of selections from ‘Seneca. roe —_—>__ AMUSEMENTS, charming comedienne, Fanny Rice, will be seen at Albaugh’s next Monday and during the week in her new comedy, “Miss Innocence Abroad,” which is new being played with considerable suc- cess in New York. In this Miss Rice has an opportunity to display her versatility and power of mimicry better than ever be- fore. The character of Mollic Fuller seems to fit her like a glove, and as each mem- ber of the company has been chosen for his or her especial ability in the line of char- acter assigned, an extraordinarily smooth and brisk performance is given. “Miss In- nocence Abroad” is one long continuous laugh. It differs from most plays of its sort, in having a distinct and well-defined story. Miss Rice introduces some of her latest successful vocalisms and In act three she brings on her miniature theater, in which she gives imitations of Albert Cheva- lier, ® noted London music hall singer; Adalina Patti and other celebrities. Be- sides her singing she introduces dancing pictures, which are said to be one of the most laughable innovations ever witnessed. New National Theater.—The Tavary En- glish Opera Company presented a double bill at the New National Theater last night, and the large audience present testified its approval in the most demonstrative man- ner. The works presented were “I Pag- lacei” and “Cavalleria Rusticana.” Guille, the French tenor, was undoubtedly the hero of the first opera, and his singing and act- ing excited the greatest enthusiasm. He fave to the part all the dramatic intensity that it demanded, and in his vocal work he was excellent So effective was his rendi- tion of the grand aria that he was obliged to repeat the last. phrase before the au- dience would be satisfied. Wm. Mertens was effective as Torio, displaying better dramatic powers than on any previous oc- casion, while his voice fully met the re- quirements of the score. Schuster as the young peasant lover of Neddz, was well received, and Mr. Warren, in his one solo, was heard to advantage. Mariani was suffer- ing from a cold, and could not do herself justice, but it is not believed that she pos- sesses either the vocal equipment or the acting power to give an adequate interpre- tation of the fickle Nedda. The choruses were well sung and the orchestra, after seme tonfusion at the start, did well. ” there is but little to be said save in the highest praise. Prin- cipals, chorus and orchestra were all at their best and the presentation of the opera was, as a whole, the best that has been heard here. Tavary as Santuzza had a part that displayed the purity and sweetness of her voice to excellent advantage, while she was as intensely passionate as the jealous character demanded. Guille gave the same excellent interpretation of Turiddu that he presented last spring, and is by far the best representative of this character that has been seen here. His execution of the drink- ing song was wonderfully effective, as was also his duo with Tavary before he entered the church. Mertens as the teamster was honest in his effort, but he is by no means the equal of Del Puente in this part, and the latter has sung the role so frequently here that the comparison could not be avoided. Dorre invested the part of Lola with her own pleasing personality and sang the one number allotted to her effectively. The work of both chorus and orchestra de- serves the warmest commendation. The former sang in time and tune and was at all times thoroughly satisfactory. Signor Morrealli had his force of musicians fully under control and all the beauties of the orchestration of this opera were fully brought out. The intermezzo was played with such artistic finish and expression that an encore was emphaticaily demanded, Tonight “Lohengrin” will be given. Jchn L. Sullivan.—The attraction next week, commencing Monday next, at But- ler’s New Bijou Theater will be no less than John L. Sullivan in his new comedy in three acts, by Edmund E. Brice, entitled “A True American.” Mr. Sullivan's char- acter, that of John Desmond, a gentlemanly land overseer, fits him like a glove. He made his first appearance in this play at Syracuse and the press was unanimous in his praise, and the cheers that greeted the pugilistic idol of so many years were so great for some minutes that Actor Sullivan could not proceed with his part. He has still many friends, and when he ap- pears in this city, which he will do next. Monday evening, he is sure to be accorded the same reception among his friends of Washington.

INE, rew AX: PROPOS&® NEW BRIDGE. —— The South Wughingtom Bridge Asso- ciation Callton the Commissioners. The Commisstewérs this morning gave a hearing to the themibers of the South Wash- ington Bridge Aséociation, which is urging the construction of a bridge across the Eastern branch, either at the foot of South Capitol street or at some point adjacent thereto. There.was a large attendance of the association:and the reception they re- ceived at the hands of the Commissioners | was of the most satisfactory sort. Brief addres#es: were made by H. H. Blackburn, chatrman of the executive com- mittee of the a&sediation; Col. A. D. Ander- son and Simoff Wolf, in which they ex- plained the status of the matter as it now is. A bill appropriating $5,000 for a survey to determine the advisability of such a bridge and to choose a site for it has al- ready passed the Senate and will probably come up in the House next December. The bill has been favorably reported on by the War Department and the Navy Department and legislation favorable to the bridge has been adopted in Maryland. All that the association asked today was that the Com- missioners would speak a good word for the project in their next report and would report favorably upon it when the bridge bill should be referred to them. Similar action had been taken by previous boards and ‘the association simply wanted to go before Congress with the backing and sup- Port of the present board. The hearing today was not a protracted one, for Commissioner Truesdell assured the members of the association that they had no question as to the desirability of a bridge at this point and that the movement would always receive his heartiest support, as It would the support of his colleagues. He thought that there was no need for a report from them on the bill for the sur- vey, but when the matter of the bridge itself came up he could assure them that the Commissioners would be a unit in its favor. eee NO BLAME FOR ANY ONE. The Verdict of the Coroner's Inquest Over the Stamph Fire. The inquest over the bodies of the men who lost their lives in the Stumph fire was concluded yesterday evening, the jury ren- dering a verdict that the victims met death by accident, caused by the destruction of the premises by fire, and that no blame at- tached to any one in connection with the catastrophe. After The Star's report closed yesterday John H. Howlett and George H. Turton, builders, testified that the brickwork of the fallen walls was an ordinary job. Assistant Buildirg Inspector King suid he examined the building in June. It was in good con- dition, but he noticed machinery on several of the floors. Upon reporting this to the of- fice an order on Stumph Brothers to erect a fire escape was immediately issued. As- sistant Building Inspector Vermilion gave evidence to the same effect. Chief En- gineer Parris recited a detailed story of the fire, and Asistant Foreman John W. Smith of engine No. 6 and John A. Merryman of the same company testified that in three minutes after a telephone message had been received at the engine nouse announc- ing the fire that No. 6 had u stream play- ing on the building. This was before the regular alarm was struck. The verdict was then rendered as stated above. » Crons. over the re- mains of Col. R'E. Cross at Lee’s under- taking establishment yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, after which they were trans- ported to Lancaster, N. H., for interment. There was a large attendance of fricnds and a profusion ‘of beautiful flowers. The Union Veterah Union, Col. Burlingham commanding, atterided in a body, and there was a large délegation from the Treasury Guard. Decease@ was an honored member of these two organizations. The services were conducted by Col. Burlingham, assist- ed by Chaplain Thompson and Adjutant Troutinan. Col: Cross was a gallant sol- dier. He entered the army as a lieutenant cf a voluntee*’ New Hampshire regiment and became it® colonel after the battle of Gettysburg. Before the war he was a resi- dent of Canada#and held an important place in the Dominton-government, during which time he married the daughter of Governor General McDonald. At the time of his death he held a position on the treasury watch force. = ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure.
